Chairman Aldrich called the meeting of the Stanley Park Committee

HORSE SHOW AGREEMENTS.
Executive Director Scott presented the Colorful Colorado Quarter
Horse Show (June 22 - 25) and Rocky Mountain Arabians (August 18
- 20) standard horse show agreements for approval. The
agreements were prepared by Town Attorney White. The Committee
recommends approval of both agreements.
SCOTTISH HIGHLAND FESTIVAL AGREEMENT.
The Committee also reviewed the standard agreement between the
Scottish Highland Festival and the Town for a festival scheduled
September 9th and loth. This agreement was also prepared by Town
Attorney White. The Committee recommends approval of the
agreement.
RACE TRACK - DISCUSSION.
Director Scott reported he has received several inquiries from
groups desiring to use the race track to conduct motorcycle,
vehicle, mule, chariot, or horse racing. In performing prelimi-
nary research, Director Scott noted the State would become
involved in all matters relating to horse racing. Racing activ-
ities could require a new footing for the race track, with an
estimated expenditure of approximately $150,000. As horse racing
appears to be a compatible use with the fairgrounds, the Commit-
tee recommends Executive Director Scott obtain additional, more
specific, information for presentation to the Committee.
SOIL BASE - MAIN ARENA.
Director Scott advised the soil base in the main arena is in need
of replacement due to rocks which cannot be removed by the rock
rake. This replacement was scheduled in 1990; however, as this
surface creates a potential hazard to horses, staff is requesting
authorization to proceed as soon as possible. Budget line items
can be amended to include this expenditure. The Committee
recommends approval of the request.
LIONS CLUB LEASE AGREEMENT - DISCUSSION.
The Committee reviewed a proposed amendment to the lease
particularly addressing the Rooftop Rodeo between the Lions Club
of Estes Park and the Town. In summary, the Club would (1) agree
to prepare and serve a barbecue dinner 7/18 at the cost to the
Horse Show and Rodeo Committee of $3.00/plate. This function
would be exempt from the standard 15% of gross sales payable to
the Town; (2) serve a pancake super 7/20; the 15% provision would
be in effect for this event; (3) waive their exclusive rights to
food, drink, and tobacco sales from July 17 - 23, 1989. The

REPORTS.
Horse Show and Rodeo President Russell questioned the status of
the banner/ticket booth location for use in 1989. The Committee
recommends President Russell contact Town Administrator Klaphake.
James Durward noted attention should be given to the existing
spotlight locations which, in his opinion, are in need of im-
provement, and that classic car racing should also be given
consideration for use on the race track.
There being no further business, Chairman Aldrich adjourned the
meeting at 2:26 P.M.
