Chairman Aldrich called the meeting of the Stanley Park Committee
to order at 2:00 P.M.
ACTIVITY REPORT.
Executive Director Scott reported the Honda/Harley Davidson
Motorcycle Dealerships have tentatively requested use of the
grounds September 17 and 18, 1988 for a motor rally. The Horse
Show and Rodeo Committee has requested a rental fee of $1,000/day
which includes the RV hookups, grandstand and stage. Following
discussion, the Committee recommends approval of the request,
authorizing Director Scott to prepare a Contract, returning to
the Committee for further review.
PROGRESS REPORT - ARENA STUDY.
Town Administrator Klaphake reported staff is continuing its
efforts to prepare a report listing various options and cost
estimates for the proposed arena. Staff has also requested Thorp
Associates prepare alternate plans "downsizing" the project.
Administrator Klaphake also reported a Town Board study session
has been scheduled for July at which time it is anticipated
several options will be presented for discussion.
Director Scott expressed concern with an additional expenditure
to Thorp for the revised plans. Administrator Klaphake stated a
$500 limit was placed on the revision and adequate funds should
be available.
TICKET BOOTH - DISCUSSION.
Rick Russell, President/Horse Show and Rodeo Committee, stated
the Committee desires to draw additional attention to the exist-
ing ticket booth located in the parking lot at the corner of East
Riverside Drive. Increased visibility could be achieved by
adding taped music, and a patriotic -colored bunting. Included in
the Committee's discussion was the use of a costumed individual
on the sidewalk, and placement of the bull (used in parades) in
the same parking lot. Staff suggested a portable booth could be
placed under the overhang of the Municipal Building in the
Transit Center. Discussion followed concerning conflicting
sounds between the ticket booth and entertainment in nearby
parks, and solicitation. The Committee recommends approval of
taped music, the bunting, and additional booth which should
enhance the sale of tickets during the Rodeo scheduled July 16th
- 23rd, 1988.
Six ticket outlets will be used this year: three banks, Stage
Western Wear, Chamber of Commerce, and Public Service Company.

REPORTS.
The compost operation has provided EPURA and the Public Works
Department will all necessary material this year. The compost is
sold for $15.00/yard at the grounds; there are approximately 200
customers in the Estes Park valley. Two national magazines have
publicized Stanley Park's operation.
Administrator Klaphake stated that perhaps a "clearing house"
could be initiated which could administer all advertising for the
Town through one budget. Director Scott reported the Horse Show
and Rodeo Committee had already executed a manager's contract
with TTS of Denver for such advertising in 1989. Administrator
Klaphake stated all groups should join together to determine what
advertising could be accomplished in common, which could maximize
the benefit. Administrator Klaphake also expressed the need to
improve communications between all entities of the Town.
There being no further business, Chairman Aldrich adjourned the
meeting at 2:44 P.M.
