Mr. Stanley Pratt has offered the opening of the tri-plex theater(s) for the benefit of the Estes Park Medical Center Foundation. Mr. Pratt is furnishing the film(s), the tickets, and the operators for the evening of the film(s) showing. The Elizabeth Guild is serving as the group to help initiate the "kick-off" event. Members of the Guild will want to sell tickets to the event --people indicating film of choice as they want to or not. At this writing we do not know if we will have a "raffle prize" of great value associated with the film(s). That idea is still being discussed. Whether we have a pre -theater party is also being reviewed. What has been decided is the cost of each ticket, namely, $10.00. Because at this writing we cannot give you the exact date of the opening we are asking for the use of the booth the first week in June, counting on the theaters being open sometime that week. Again, we would emphasize that the event is a benefit for the Hospital Foundation. We would appreciate your favorable response at your earliest convenience in order that we can proceed to get volunteers to "man" the booth during the first week of June. Thank you very much.

BOX 1691 • ESTES PARK, COLORADO80517 • PHONE (303) 586-6256 April 8, 1987 To: Stanley Park Committee From: Mel Busch, Director EPAHM Subject: Re -locate museum east boundary and move former RMNP Headquarters to site Copies: Town Board and EPURA The building located at 111 East Riverside Drive, most recently Estes Appliance E TV, was the administration building for Rocky Mountain National Park from 1915 to 1923. In 1925 it was leased and used by C.H. Bond, who had started the Estes Park Townsite Company and platted the Town in 1905. Because of its historic significance, that building should be restored and preserved. It can not remain at its present location due to Urban Renewal -requirements, so the museum's board of directors voted to accept the building, provided additional land can be obtained in Stanley Park on which to place it. That provision complies with the museum's request of April 22, 1985 (attached) to adequately provide for structures of historic significance and for future expansion. We are therefore requesting that the east boundary of the Estes Park Area Historical Museum grounds be adjusted to the campsite road shown on the Stanley Park Master Plan, and follow the angle of that road to Hiway 36 per compromise agreement with the Horse Show and Rodeo Committee. To dispel fears that some may have, the Museum has no desire to create a building"junk yard". Our intent is to preserve our heritage, provide authentic platforms in which to learn and feel that heritage; and do it in a tasteful, well -landscaped, and pleasant setting. Because of time limitations we must have a written answer to this request by April 15. Thank you very much for your consideration. ESTES PARK AREA HISTORICAL MUSEUM 200 4TH. STREET • P.O.

Horsey library Director ESTES PARK BLIC LIBRARY (SERVING THE ESTES VALLEY FOR 70 YEARS) April 10, 1987 The Library Board of Trustees is nearing a final decision on the site for a new library. Three possible sites in Stanley Park have been re- evaluated: 1) Fourth street adjacent to the Senior Center, 2) around the corner fronting on Manford Ave. across from the Estes Park Rent All, and 3) directly south of and adjacent to the old swimming pool building After a careful setting of priorities and weighting of the criteria, the Library Board arrived at the following conclusions: 1) Fourth Street adjacent to the Senior Center is the preferred site IF the new library is located in Stanley Park. 2) The Library Board's second choice in Stanley Park is around the corner fronting on Manford Ave. across from the Estes Park Rent All. 3) The old swimming pool site is NOT a suitable location for the new library. 4) Wherever the library is located, the Board has determined that a minimum of 1 acre is required. Bond Park is also still being considered as a possible location of the new library. The Library Board will be holding a full -day retreat in about ten days at which time we hope to make the final decisions as to site and size of the building. We anticipate coming to your next meeting to inform you as to these final decisions. As of today, do you see any problems with our possible use of the Fourth Street site, adjacent to the Senior Center?? P.O. BOX 1687 / 225 E.

Rather than a June election we suggest that the vote be scheduled for the fall of 1987. As you know the concept of the building has changed significantly. A June election would not, in our judgement, provide adequate opportunity for public input in the preliminary design stage. In addition, significant decisions have yet to be made regarding 1) total project cost, and 2) that portion of total project cost to be funded by the bond issue. These decisions are critical. We feel that Town Board members should have the opportunity to carefully consider them without operating under a severe time constraint. A fall vote would have the additional advantage of permitting consideration of the capital and operating expenses of the project in the course of developing the 1988 budget for Stanley Park and other Town departments. In summary, we feel that a revised election schedule would be in the best interests of the voting public and the project.
