Community Development Memo To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph CC: Randy Repola Date: 1/23/2002 Re: Policy Discussion: Building Permit Fees for Non-Profits and Public Projects Background: It has been our past practice to waive building permit fees for Public Projects and in some cases for Non-Profits. The purpose for this policy discussion is to establish a consistent policy. Recommendation: The following entities may be exempted by the Community Development Department from building department fees (except for direct expenses incurred in out of house plan review): 1) public funded government construction (federal, state, county, local); including 2) tax districts / special districts (hospital, library, parks and rec., etc.); 3) certain private non profit organizations (Health care providers, assisted living centers, low income housing, etc.). Although the fees are not assessed, submittals, permits and inspections are required. The following criteria is used in qualifying private non-profits: The permitted project will serve or support an important or essential community need such as affordable or assisted living housing, or health care services. The Estes Valley Comprehensive Plan may be used as a guide in identifying community needs. 1 Community Development Committee Advertising Policy Committee Report March 28,2002 1.

Conversion was highest among USA Weekend, at 41 percent, and lowest among National Geographic Adventure readers, at just 19 percent. • Overall expenditures averaged $681 per party, similar to figures from past years. The median spending was $495, meaning that halfthe respondents spent less than that amount, and half spent more.

MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor Dekker and Board of Trustees From: Estes Park Senior Center, Jody Thompson Date: March 28,2002 Subject: Agreements between the Town of Estes Park Senior Center and Larimer County Office on Aging Department of Human Services Background: The Larimer County Office on Aging and their Advisory Council have decided to renew grant funding to the Senior Center for 2002 at the same level as 2001. This award is $12,000 in Title Ill (Nutrition Program) dollars and $2,475 in County dollars for Operations. In order to receive these funds in 2002, signed agreements between the Town of Estes Park and the Larimer County Department of Human Services are required for both awards (three copies each.) The contracts were reviewed by City Attorney Greg White in 1999. Vickie O'Connor, Town Clerk, advised me that legal review of the year 2002 agreements will not be necessary since no significant changes were made by Larimer County. Budget/Cost: No cost is associated with this request. This is simply a requirement to receive the awarded funds. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of both contracts with the Larimer County Office on Aging, Department of Human Services, to receive the awarded funds. 1 . . 4 SENIOR CENTER Memo To: Community Development Committee From: Jody Thompson, Estes Park Senior Center Date: March 26,2002 Re: Irrigation and Landscape Design/Build Project Background: The Irrigation project at the Senior Center has been on the drawing board since 1999. At that time, the project was determined not to be feasible because town of , Estes Park budgeted funds did not cover the estimated cost, and Senior Citizens Center, Inc.'s contribution to the Town of Estes Park budget was designated for meal subsidies. In October 2001 Mayor Baudek met with the Board of Senior Citizens Center, Inc. and suggested the Seniors consider funding projects at the Center, such as the Irrigation project, instead of subsidizing meals. The Board was receptive to that suggestion. Recently the Board met with a Foundation representative who made a verbal agreement to assist the Seniors with the project pending submission of the design plan and associated cost. The project consists of two components: 1) water tap purchase, installation of water line and the irrigation system itself; 2) sod and landscaping contingent upon grant funding. The Parks Department has drafted specifications for both the irrigation and landscape components and is prepared to put the project to bid. Budget The 2002 Senior Center budget contains a line item expenditure for $15,000 and a revenue line item of $7,500 representing a contribution from Senior Center, Inc. for the project. It is anticipated that the Foundation will fund whatever costs exceed the budgeted amount. Action: Staff requests approval to publicize and solicit bids for the project.
