EPURA Attorney Windholz will be meeting with Mr. Boyd's representative and EPURA anticipates receiving pos- session of the property in the very near future. Approximately four (4) parties have expressed an interest in the RFP for development of the Boyd property. PARKING LOTS 3 (POST OFFICE) AND 6 (DARK HORSE) - DISCUSSION: Director Anderson reviewed both parking lots advising the level of improvements that would occur. The parking lots, curb and gutter will be completed this Spring. The landscaping improve- ments will be accomplished as a separate package with completion anticipated in the 1988 Spring season. Director Anderson stated the lack of irrigation and the need for a low water level in the river were the primary factors in scheduling the landscaping phase completion to the '88 Spring season. The proposed "plant- ing pockets" will be "sleeved" to allow connection to a future irrigation system. The Board of Trustees stressed continuity of the project and completion within two (2) years. REPORTS: Streetscape III is slightly ahead of schedule. The State Highway Department has agreed to install a "caution" light at the Highway 34/36 Intersection. Discussion followed concerning the "information board" which will take the place of banners. EPURA advised additional information concerning the choice of location and policy setting the guide- lines for the type of information that will be allowed will be forthcoming. EPURA will provide parking layouts for Parking Lots 1 (Football) and 8 (Municipal). Construction is anticipated in the Fall. EPURA has solicited proposals for statues from various Colorado artists.
