The Classic is proposing to use the same race course as 1985; however, it is anticipated the "start/finish" line will be relocated. In a letter dated Febru- ary 10, 1986, Mr. Hobbs responded to the letters of critique submitted by Department Supervisors concerning the 1985 race. Discussion followed regarding notification, in person, of mer- chants and residents affected by the race course: notification efforts should be as good as or better than last year; specifica- tions and regulations for the "banner": a copy of which was submitted to Mr. Hobbs; plantings: every effort will be made (i.e.: boosting the number of PA announcements advising specta- tors to use caution near all plantings, additional free-standing fence poles) to protect landscaped areas; the "VIP/Sponsor" stage area: ensure the area is secured so as to prevent any alcoholic beverage from being available to the general public; prior notification by the Classic to the Fire Department of the race set-up time which will enable the Department to relocate fire equipment; the possibility of installing bleachers for spectator viewing on Elkhorn Avenue; concessions: operation of three concession stands in the vicinity of the Start/Finish area; marshals: additional marshals will be included this year; and parking: the Classic requires approximately 100 parking spaces for the entire crew. The Committee recommends: (1) not allowing roving concessionaires, (2) the VIP/Sponsor stage area be allowed to serve an alcoholic beverage, ensuring the beverage is con- tained to the stage area, and (3) the Wiest and American Legion Parking Lots be designated for Coors Classic Crew Parking with n 'fication b letter, of the parking assignment to all affect- ed merc ants. Submittal of pertinent drawings to the Town Clerk will be forthcoming. Contact person for the Town will be Police Chief Ault and Chamber Advertising Manager Myers. PARKING: The Committee discussed the level of enforcement desired in time -limit parking lots. Chief Ault reported eleven part-time officers will be on staff this summer; nine traffic directors and two parking attendants. Should a revision concerning the afore- mentioned personnel be necessary, the matter will be considered by the Committee at that time. As an example of stringent enforcement of the parking limits, Chief Ault stated that in a two-hour parking lot, vehicles would be checked and ticketed 15 minutes following the time limit. The Committee recommends strict enforcement of all time -limits in parking lots. Public Works Director Widmer presented a drawing of all parking lots and a summary sheet indicating parking lot number, location, name, existing and proposed parking spaces, and parking limits. The Committee recommends adopting the parking lot time -schedule, BRADFORD PUBLISHING CO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Safety Committee - March 27, 1986 - Page two as revised. The parking lot summary sheet is attached hereto and made a part of the record of these procedings. ALARM SYSTEMS - CORRESPONDENCE: The Committee reviewed a letter dated March 19, 1986 submitted by First National Bank of Estes Park and a letter dated March 26, 1986 submitted by Park National Bank. Both letters requested reconsideration of the recent decision by the Committee to alleviate the Police Department from monitoring alarm systems. The Committee recommends deferring the request to Town Attorney White, allowing Attorney White to research federal law and submit a written legal opinion. The Park National Bank also requested they be allowed to connect to the existing alarm system, if only on a temporary basis, which will assist the bank in opening for business. The Committee recommends approval of this request. HORSELESS CARRIAGE CLUB - REQUEST FOR PARADE PERMIT: Chief Ault reported the Horseless Carriage Club have requested a Parade Permit for an event scheduled June 25, 1986 at 10:00 A.M. on Elkhorn Avenue. Approximately 100 entries will participate. The club will be escorted through Town; a tour of Rocky Mountain National Park will also be included. The Club will be visiting Estes Park June 23 - 27, 1986. Chief Ault included the request of $400,000 liability insurance for the event. The Committee recommends approval of the Parade Permit for the Horseless Carriage Club. EL JEBEL SHRINE - REQUEST FOR PARADE PERMIT: The El Jebel Shrine Anniversary is scheduled for May 31, 1986. The Shrine has requested a Parade Permit for May 31st from 10:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. The parade will begin at Spruce Drive and end at Stanley Park. Approximately 27 entries will participate. Chief Ault will request $400,000 liability insurance for the event. With regard to liability insurance for such events, Town Adminis- trator Hill advised a legal opinion has been submitted by Town Attorney White. The opinion will be addressed following the April 1st election. "ENHANCED" 911 EMERGENCY SERVICES TELEPHONE NUMBER - MOUNTAIN BELL: Mr. John Wilding, State Coordinator/Mountain Bell, addressed the Committee concerning the "enhanced" 911 telephone number. The 911 emergency services number was created in 1969. With the "enhanced" 911 number, the calling party's telephone number, name, address and responsible agency for that area is automat- ically received. The "enhanced" 911 is a Larimer County -wide Project; the County has opted to obtain this service and they desire concurrence of all municipalities within their boundary. Approximately 28 seconds to 41 minutes will be saved in dispatch- ing calls, thereby increasing the number of lives spared. Mr. Wilding will be presenting the aforementioned information to all Larimer County municipalities. Cost of this service is uniformly passed onto the consumer. An estimated rate for Larimer County is 35-50/month for two years, with the rate reducing to approxi- mately 204 thereafter. Each municipality would be required to pass an ordinance or resolution allowing Mountain Bell to collect the funds to establish an account for the "enhanced" 911. An "authority board" would then be formed to administer the project. The Committee recommends supporting the "enhanced" 911 telephone system concept, thus creating the authority board.
