ADJOURNMENT NOTE: The Community Development Committee reserves the right to consider other appropriate items not available at the time the agenda was prepared. Town of Estes Park Community Development Committee 1992 Advertising Program 1/26/93 National Advertising: Estes Park's advertising was placed in 11 national and regional travel publications in March and September exposing almost 21 million subscribers to our message during 1992. New for 92: 1. A hal f-page 4'-color test ad in National Geographic Traveler. This produced no significant improvement over the performance of our standard 1/3 page ad. 2. Outside Magazine - a new title with a young, successful, outdoor oriented readership. The high response count would indicate that this market fits Estes Park perfectly. 3. Travel Inserts - a 4-color travel directory for metro newspapers that can be purchased in single market zones. A test in the St.Louis zone produced almost as well as a comparable USA weekend ad with a CPI of just under $1.00. Regional Advertising: Our primary vehicles for reaching the growing metro area between Colorado Springs and Cheyenne are the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. When we advertise in these two papers, we reach well over 700,000 households in the metro region. The eleven ads placed in these two papers between May and December constantly remind the reader that Estes Park is close, fun, and spectacular. Our on-going presence in this market is partially responsible for the shoulder season growth in sales tax that we have seen over the last two years. Front Ranae Advertising: The insert program utilizing the six front range dailies plus the Trail Gazette 4-times a year is an even more informative means of reaching our primary 1&2 day visitors who live "just down the hill". The inserts are conversational in style, and allow us to provide year-around, detailed information about the variety of things someone can do in Estes Park. Press Release Program: generated newpaper editorial about Estes Park equivalent to 20.5 full size newspaper pages with a value of amost $68,000; at least $21,300 in broadcast value from the Lawn Lake anniversary story; and well over $150,000 in national/regional magazine articles. The Media Services, partially described above, accounts for 83% of the Advertising Program dollars, and has generated 61,599 telephone information requests (the equivalent of 2,200 hours of telephone time), and resulted in the mailing of 76,738 packets to potential vacationers. 1. Page 2 1992 Advertising Program Summary Conference Center Promotion: The primary project for the Advertising Department in 1992 was development and production of the 5-color Conference Center brochure. Based on Tom Pickering's own experience, the brochure utilizes the same sales progression: 1) the "Area" (Rocky Mountain National Park); 2) the Community (Estes Valley), and 3) the facility. The brochure is in the hands of over 700 meeting planners throughout the greater front range region. Materials: The popular "Lure Piece" was reprinted in 1992, and will be again for 1993. After 1993, the Lure Piece will be replaced with a new, redesigned magazine style Visitor's Guide produced by the A-C Book Committee. The 1994 visitor's guide has been in the development stages since April of 1992, and the complete re-design will be completed by mid-February of this year. The Advertising Manager has played a leadership role in the re-design process of the visitors guide. The rack card and 10-day planner were both re-printed for 1992. The rack card will be re-designed during 1993, and the 10-day planner will be replaced in 1994 by the new Visitor's Guide. Our production of event posters expands each year, this year seeing the addition of the Artwalk/Jazzfest poster, and the Sidewalk Sale poster. In 1992, the Advertising Department was presented with 3CMA's 1992 Savvy Silver Circle award for the production of our Conference Center Brochure. This represents a second place finish in a nationwide competition in the category of Special Publications, Communities under 50,000. The category winner was West Hollywood California who produced a 24 page annual report as glossy insert to the August issue of L.A.Style Magazine.

A multiplier of 1.5 says that the total economic impact on income will be $150, including the original $100. As money is expended locally, a portion escapes the community. The multiplier is the original dollar purchase and that part of the dollar that remains in the community on various turnovers. Generally, the smaller the area, the smaller the multiplier. Browne, Bortz and Coddington, Estes Park's Economic consultant, established a multiplier of 1.2 for Estes Park. Thus, the extended economic impact of the conference center would be: $2,285,870 x 1.2 = $2,743,044 5.

These programs DO NOT require any new construction. Rather, they allow low income, mentally disabled people in your city to rent housing from private landlords while receiving a rent subsidy, which we provide. Pursuant to Section 213(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, each housing agency is required to give you the opportunity to comment on HUD's approval of our applications if you feel it is inconsistent with your local Comprehensive Housing Affordable Strategy previously approved by HUD. We have been providing affordable housing to the mentally disabled in your community for 15 years, and your continued support of our program is truly appreciated. Our tenants receive supportive services from your community's mental health center or community center board. According to your local housing authority and service providers, the need for subsidized housing for the disabled in your area continues to grow and, unfortunately, the federal resources continue to dwindle. We feel it is necessary for us to take advantage of any opportunity to apply for units as they become available. It is my anticipation that, due to limited allocations from HUD, the maximum number of units annually in any city would be 10 with an average of 5.

Box 4135 Estes Park, Colorado 80517 303/586-9203 January 15, 1993 To: Members of the Town Board and the Community Development Committee of Estes Park From: The Cultural Arts Council of Estes Park On behalf of the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of the Cultural Arts Council, I wish to express sincere appreciate for the Town's vote of confidence in providing funding in the amount of $7500 to our organization for 1993. We are looking forward to a most productive new year in moving this organization forward and in better promoting this com- munity's rich and talented artists and their diverse programs. The concept of this umbrella organization representing both the visual and performing artists and their respective organi- zations, as originally created under the leadership of the Town, is movihg ahead. IMAGINE THIS!, CACEP's first community family arts fair, to be held on February 20, 1993 in the High School commons area and theater, is receiving strong participation by most of our local arts organizations and many individual artists. It should be a great opportunity to let everyone in the Estes Valley see and experience what's happening with the arts here in Estes Park. We invite each of you and your families to take part in this first event, which we hope will grow to equal the magnitude of the Elizabeth Guild's Holiday House. We are excited about 1993 and plan to merit your encouragement and leadership. Sincerely, Tim Phillips President 23.
