Community Development Committee 11/5/92 Advertising Department Report A. Program Update: 1. Year-to-Date packet requests as of the end of October; 1991 = 68,850 1992 = 74,623 8.38% Y-T-D increase In comparing October to October, a 31.1% increase over '91 demonstrates development of the out-of-state shoulder season market. See Tables I and Ia labeled "Packet Requests" 2. Year-to-Date telephone calls as of the end of September; 1991 = 47,372 1992 = 56,916 20.15% Y-T-D increase Comparing September to September, a 44% increase over 1991 demonstrates shoulder season strength as well but also a growing awareness of our name within the front range market segment. See Tables II and IIa labeled "Telephone Inquiries" NOTE: In both packet requests and telephone inquiries, we have passed the total year of 1991. 3. Our Year-to-Date Cost Per Inquiry through October is $3.25 compared to $3.28 for the same period in 1991. We have maintained this low C.P.I. in spite of the fact that we have shifted a significant part of the program into more upscale travel magazines. Usually the more targeted the program, the more expensive the response. B. Projects: 1. Christmas parade insert will run in the front range dailies of Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Greeley, Fort Collins, Cheyenne and Estes Park the week of November 15th. 2. Jingle Bells shopping ad is in progress, and will run the week of December 6th promoting weekend shopping the 12th & 13th. 3. March/April national magazine ad is in the early development stage. 1.

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Committee Members Attached for your review is a copy of Cultural Arts Council Executive Direc- tor Lynda Vogel's letter to the Town Trustees outlining the accomplishments of the Arts Council for 1992. This was also an attachment to our 1993 budget request to the Town. An outgrowth of the community forum held on October 8-regarding the future of the Cultural Arts Council was the formation of a~ask forcetomprised of members of the Arts Council (including representation from the Art Center of Estes Park) and members of the arts community at large. The charge of this -1 task force was to develop a document which included a broad mission statement, benefits to be realized by member organizations and the community, a Iist of examples of the kinds of activities such an organization should undertake as a means of providing those benefits, and a resolution to continue to work together toward building such an organization. To date, there have been two meetings, with a third scheduled for tonight. In summary, five areas have been identified as target elements for develop- ment of a cultural program. These are: Communication; Liaison; Financial -7 Resource; Planning; and Education. These recommendations will be taken to the full board of the Arts Council for discussion and finalizing into a comprehensive plan for_ 1993-94..._ ...___- In addition to tliERobert Ketchum Projec-~and the Chamber-Music Festiyal/I) discussed in the aitache*4-et:ter-,--we-are planning a fund-raising event which we are calling ~MAGINE THIH-25>scheduled for early February, 1993. It will consist of a family-oriented experiential day at which attendees can learn about the diversity of art and have some hands-on experience in various arts disciplines, all provided by individual member organizations of the Arts Council. We feel that these three activities, as well as other ongoing projects, will strengthen the existing harmonies within the· arts community, and foster new growth and a strong cultural program for the Estes Valley.

CO 80517 Dear Board of Trustees 1991 was a year of reorganization for the Cultural Arts Council and 1992 has been a year of moving forward with a plan of action. Our most notable project and one which has taken and continues to take considerable staff effort is the Robert Glenn Ketchum Commission. Working with Jim Mack, Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) Chief Interpreter. we organized the initial presentation by internationally-acclaimed photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum, established a steering committee, and assisted the committee in writing the grant request. This request has been submitted to the National Park Foundation for funding Mr. Ketchum's thought- provoking images which will serve as a catalyst for cooperative planning efforts of Rocky Mountain National Park and its gateway communities, Estes Park and Grand Lake. This project is now a three-way partnership between the Town of Estes Park, RMNP and the Cultural Arts Council. Working with the Rocky Mountain Regional Office of the National Park Service. " we selected 16 images from the Ketchum exhibit, Cuyahoga National Recreation Area, " for display at the Estes Park Public Library. Ten community volunteers were recruited to staff the exhibit from April 18 through April 26. In addition to this major project, we continue to provide technical assistance to member organizations in various ways: 1. Began working with Louise Pinkow to bring the American Chamber Players to Estes Park in what is hoped to be an annual musical event. The steering committee has been appointed and grant writing is underway. 2. Established the Arts Council as an information resource on community arts, both locally and on the front range. Typical examples would include distribution of information from the Colorado Council on the Arts to local artists and art organizations; providing information to Peter Marsh, Town Advertising Manager; and providing Estes Park arts information to arts magazines and tourist guides throughout Colorado. 3. Conducted a survey of the Arts Council members, and compiled the information received into Estes Park Arts, the calendar of local art events for the summer (see attached). 7.

Assisted in the coordinating, planning and publicity for events such as Women's History Month; Art Walk Weekend; the Western and Wildlife Art Show; the Stanley Hotel appearance of the Lauren Pelon Musique Company; and the Estes Park Art Museum exhibit. 5. Networking on a statewide level with other agencies through attending the Colorado Consortium of Community Arts Councils (CCCAC) workshops and seminars: Gary Elting attended a workshop on block booking, and I will be attending the CCCAC annual convention, "Sharing the Dream: Visions for the 90's." 6. Acted as liaison between the Town and the Galleries Association to establish a new conference center art exhibit which runs from September 92 through June 93. We have already opened a dialogue between the Arts Council and Eagle Rock School, with an eye toward establishing a partnership to provide a resource for their arts education curriculum. Next year, with the advent of the Robert Glenn Ketchum Commis.sion and the American Chamber Festival, the Arts Council will truly come into its own as a leader in the community in arts and cultural development.

DATE: November 3, 1992 TO: Members of CACEP 1 FROM: Arts Task Force RE: Report of Recommendations The task force which was named at your October 8th meeting has met three times and the attached report represents the consensus among our group. We agreed at the outset that our charge was to develop a document that includes (1) a broad mission statement, (2) benefits to be realized to member organizations and to the community, (3) a list of examples of the kinds of activities such an organization should undertake as a means of providing those benefits and (4) a resolution to continue to work together toward building such an organization, to be signed by community arts group representatives. (1) Rather that undertaking to refine and polish a mission statement for CACEP, we recommend that CACEP complete that process, incorporating into the mission statement language from the original charge by the town and listing the five -benefits" (which translate into goals supporting the mission). (2) The five benefits grew out of a discussion at the first meeting, at which we addressed the question: What do we, as artists and arts groups, expect from an umbrella group that represents all of us? At the second meeting, we listed these in order of importance to us: Communication Liaison Financial Planning/Administration Education (3) The list of about 45 rather specific activities suggested (as a means of delivering these benefits tc members of the community) grew out of a structured brainstorming session at the second meeting. We have not polished or refined these nctions nor have we set priorities or defined long- and short-range activities; we've left that for CACEP and its members. This is ncE intended to be a comprehensive list. As we realized at our Las. meeting, the ideas continue to flow. We've made no attempt zo define any specific structure for CACEP. Hcwever, many of the ideas lead directly to structural decisions. reinforcing ince again that form follows function. ..... Task Force Report to CACEP - Page Two (4) We did not draft a "unity resolution," feeling that, too, was more appropriate for CACEP to do after you have shaped the document into your plan. We recommend that you consider the broad community and economic impact of a strong cultural arts movement and suggest that you incorporate some of the language from Megatrends 2000 by John Naisbitt and Patricia Aburdene (see Chapter 2, "Renaissance in the Arts"). This kind of focus will help your efforts to form alliances with the business community and with town government. A list of the task force members is attached. Many are already members of the CACEP board. It's highly likely that "at large" members of the task force would be willing to be called upon should you need clarification or assistance as you move forward. We sense a renewal of energy and unity in the arts community. We hope that history will not cloud the future focus of current efforts.

Harvey November 4, 1992 Estes Park , CO. 1830 North Ridge Lane CoOokado <Peagty P.O. Box 3365 Tel. 303-586-8188 Estes Park, CO 80517-3365 Ron S. Harvey November 4, 1992 SURVEY of RENTAL HOUSING in the ESTES PARK AREA BACKGROUND This Survey has been prompted by the extensive discussions of law income "affordable" housing needs in the Estes area over the past year. The often quoted study commissioned by Forward Estes Park in 1990, during the height of our summer season, queried employers and employees regarding employee housing needs. Many of these employees were transient seasonal workers who had a difficult time finding housing while some employers had unfilled jobs due to the lack of housing. However, various committees and study groups have acknowledged that they are not in a position to tackle the additional requirements of the summer season transient work force. This has kept the focus on affordable housing for the year round work force in the low income or entry levels. Median Household Income (MHI) in the area is a basis for determining what is considered low to moderate income. Low Income is defined as 50% of MHI while Moderate Income is 80% of MHI. Federal guidelines further state that rents, including utilities, should not exceed 30% of adjusted gross income, where "adjusted" provides allowances, e. g. lower rents, for children, handicaps etc. This means that the hiahest rent, excluding utilities, in the Estes area for the moderate income level should be around $525 or less per month. Likewise the top rent for the low income level should be below $300 per month when utilities are excluded and adjustments are made to Gross Income. With this focus on affordable housing for the year round low income population, little attention has been given to the requirements and growth of the general population. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to determine what was available at present in order to effectively plan what we should provide in the future. METHOD The goal has been to develop a comprehensive inventory of our rental housing. This has been accomplished by a physical survey of neighborhoods to locate single and multi family housing. In some cases county records have to be searched for required information on sub-divisions and ownership of residential dwellings. Once the actual buildings are identified the agents, developers or owners are contacted to determine size, rents, extras and any restrictions. Newspaper ads which have been followed for over five years are another source of leads and information. continued SURVEY of RENTAL HOUSING - continued - page 2 Ron S. Harvey 11/4/92 Over 525 units have been inventoried and categorized to date, and the process continues. The results were first tabulated after 200 units had been verified, and with 444 units now verified the average rents and unit percentages have not varied more than 1.5%. This quantity of units is considerably greater than is required for a normal statistical sample. SURVEY FINDINGS 90% of all Estes Area rents are "affordable" e.g. below $526 per month. The average rent of 444 units in the Estes Area is $391 per month. The majority (52%) of units are two bedroom with average rents of $405. One bedroom (40%) and efficiency (1%) units have average rents of $335. The minority (7%) are 3 and 4 bedroom units with average rents of $630.

Harvey 11/4/92 CONCLUSIONS 1. There appears to be good evidence to support a need for units below the $300 level. Only 11% of present units are in this range and most of these are in the federally subsidized complexes which have waiting lists. This is the area where a housing authority could be effective. 2. The "a ffordable" housing needs of the low to moderate income group are clearly being met by 80% of the present inventory. 3. There is a demand for more two and three bedroom rental units that would rent in the $550 to $725 range. This is based on the following: a. There are only 6.7% of the present units in this price range. b. Overall occupancy rates have been near 100% for the past three years. c. The increasing numbers of new people that are relocating here, who have found employment, are self employed or retired. In addition there are current tenants requiring more room. These groups tend to be in the thirty and up age group. d. Recent inquiries to landlords and managers often request three bedrooms, or at least two with an additional room for an in-home work place. This is good justification for building more two and three bedroom housing, some with amenities such as larger or "extra" rooms and garages. This could be accomplished in the private sector with some encouragement and support from the town. Hopefully this survey will offer some stimulation and motivation to the local builders and developers. New construction would also allow qualified current tenants to upgrade from their present "outgrown" housing. This would make additional units available for those in need of the lower rent unit.

This proposal requested technical assistance to perform an economic impact study and to produce an information package for a trail project which would eventually link downtown Estes Park with the Rocky Mountain National Park via the Big Thompson and Fall River stream corridors. The Town has also initiated discussions with RMNP staff to plan and coordinate this effort. This is a project which would be implemented in phases over a period of several years, assuming a successful effort to obtain grants on an annual basis. At present the State Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation allocates grant funds for trails which require a minimum local match of 50%. Additionally, annual Conservation Trust Fund proceeds may be available for this purpose. An important new source of funding is now available through the enhancement program associated with the Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. Over the next six years, Colorado expects to receive $40 million in funding, which will be set aside for "enhancement" activities that will include bike paths. Specific guidelines for the allocation of these funds will be made available later this year. Competition for this funding will be intense, and the Town needs to begin work on planning and preliminary design to be in a strong competitive position with its funding requests. With this in mind, it would be useful to identify a project which can be constructed entirely on public land and right-of-way and request funding for this project next year. At the same time, the Town could begin negotiations with property owners along the Big Thompson and Fall River to assemble easements and plan for a first phase which might be funded in 1994.
