Opera outings are planned for Colorado State University and Central City Opera House. Several trips to Colorado Rockies games are booked for the sports fans. A new outing this year proved to be very popular when Seniors rode the COG Railway in Colorado Springs. Tours included lunch and tour at Estes Park Brewery and Celestial Seasonings and Leanin' Tree in Boulder. The Estes Park Car Club has made hosting a barbecue, vintage car program, and rides around Estes a very fun, annual event. A large group of Seniors trekked up to Aspen Lodge for a fried chicken picnic and Old Time Radio show performed by staff at the Lodge. Fund Raising Monthly Breakfast Buffets are scheduled for June through September. The first two had attendance of slightly over 100 folks enjoying a very fine meal. Programs We continue to provide monthly programs focused on senior issues in the area of health topics. SALT (Seniors and Law Enforcement Together) also provide a monthly program focusing on such topics as home safety, scams, safe driving tips, and identity theft. Always very much enjoyed are the musical performances. Entertaining the Seniors recently were the Eagle Rock Choir; the Collins', a summer residents couple who play for the Breakfast Buffets; and the Bellringers. Then, of course, we are fortunate to have our very own "resident organist" Frank Nickoley who plays all the songs Seniors love, and sometimes sing along to, daily during lunch. l i '.

Approved by Planning Commission 7-16-02 Date and Time Printed: 7/24/2002 9:02 AM Community Development Memo To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph .BIFISIEDE CC: Randy Repola Date: 7/29/2002 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 of 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.); Although the fees are not assessed, submittals, permits and inspections are required. It is not the policy of the Town of Estes Park to routinely exempt private, non-profit projects. These projects may request exemption by submittal of written request to the Community Development Department. The Community Development Committee will hear the request and will qualify exemptions based on the specific merits of the request.
