Date: July 1, 2004 Re: Request retroactive authorization for a change order to the Westover contract for electrical work and authorization for roof modifications at the museum. BACKGROUND: Electrical The construction plans for the museum upgrade included increasing the electrical service from 200 amp to 400 amp. The plan was to pull bigger wire through existing conduit from the meter to the Fourth Street power pole. When the work began during the week of June 7, direct buried wire was found rather than wire in conduit (with just conduit stubs showing on each end). This situation is not what we could have anticipated. To avoid delaying the project, the Town authorized Westover Construction to trench, install conduit, and asphalt patch the parking lot. (Background continues on page 2) BUDGET/COST: Eledrical 1. Trench and install conduit $ 5,000 2. Asphalt patch parking lot $ ,800 Total Electrical LUQQ Roofing 1. Framing, sheeting & 3" rigid insulation $ 13,750 (The existing roof has no insulation) 2. Built-up asphalt rolled roofing $ 3,300 3. Remove and reinstall gas pipe $ 1,540 4. Remove and reinstall electrical $ 2,249 5. General Conditions & Contractor fee (12%) $ 2,917 Total Roofing $ 2256 TOTAL, ELECTRICAL AND ROOFING $ 29,556 Funding Within the Community Reinvestment fund, there is adequate funding to cover the $29,556 expense. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval for a change order to the Westover contract of $29,556 for electrical and roofing expense. 4.0 (Background - continued from page 1) Roofing There is currently a leak between the Estes Park Museum's original roof and the new addition that the contractors have been unable to repair. The leak is not due to the new construction. Volunteers built the museum in 4 stages in 1966, 1969, 1979, and 1982 (see drawing). The four sections appear to have been constructed without prior planning as to how they would work together or drain properly. There are some differences in wall heights of the four sections and roof drainage is complex. The second phase construction (part B on the site plan) is spanned with glued-laminated ceiling beams placed with no slope or drainage. A slight deflection in the beams has created a depression of up to 2" at the center of the roof, which may have been exacerbated by the March 2003 record snowstorm. Water pools in this section, amplifying the probability of leaks and stressing the live load on the roof. The roof has a history of leaks. Re-roofing was done in 1992. In 1999, when an HVAC system was installed, several leaks occurred which were repaired. At that time, Rocky Mountain Consultants performed a structural evaluation of the museum's roof. While stating that the "existing pine tongue and groove roof sheathing is structurally adequate per today's building codes," the report noted that the "glue lam is undersized per current building standards." The roof has also never had any insulation. At the Town's request, Westover Construction provided a cost estimate to construct a new sloped roof on top of the existing roof, install 3" of high density insulation (R-25), add new plywood decking and re-roof the entire1600 square foot area. Staff would like to take advantage of the contractor being on site. This will help expedite the work. 1 \ 1 i 1// 1 C 1 \ 1 \ - :L-) 1 14 1 \ 1 1 ., h h. 44-,\\ \ 1 \ 1, E e - oull-IOUSS~ * 91/f 1 mi :' 2 \IR:FlÂ·NÂ·p. CAB)IN , .0,Â· .2 HEADWIhi~Tead / .. 1 !

Date: July 1, 2004 Re: Museum Bi-Monthly Report Julv Facilitv Dedication The museum will reopen on Saturday, July 3 with an open house from noon to 4:00 PM. The dedication will take place at 12:30 with remarks by Mayor Baudek, members of the Friends and Advisory Boards, and staff. A highlight of the event will be the unveiling of a new acquisition, a painting by Charles Partridge Adams called "Golden October, Estes Park Colorado." The watercolor, which depicts Moraine Park, was painted around 1915. The Friends ofthe Museum purchased it with a private donation. It is part of an exhibit at the David Cook Fine Art Gallery in Denver called, "The Painter's Eye: Colorado and the West." The painting was singled out in an article about the exhibit that appeared in Westword: "In this piece, which resembles a photograph, Adams expertly creates the illusion ofreflected sunlight shrouded in mists-something that's not easy to do with watercolor and paper." Adams was born in Massachusetts in 1858 and moved to Denver in 1876. Self-taught, he launched his art career in the 1880s. Bythe 1890s, he could affordto open a Denver studio, and in 1900 he began working in Estes Park during the summer months. He purchased a few acres on Fish Creek Road from Lord Dunraven in 1903. Adams built a house and studio on the property, which he called The Sketch Box. In 1920, his health declined and he moved to California where he died in 1942. He continued to sell his work locally through the Clatworthy Studios. Today his paintings of Estes Park and other high country locations, created from the 1890s to the late 1910s, are considered his greatest works. New Hire Becky Latanich is the new curator of collections and exhibits. She will officially begin work on July 8, while providing some assistance with installation prior to the reopening. Ms. Latanich has an M.S. in Museum Studies with a history concentration from CU-Boulder. She has been an exhibit planner with the National Park Service and has worked at the CU Museum ofNatural History.

Overall, in 2004 we are ahead ofthe same period in 2003 in all areas: meals on wheels, in-house dining and site use/activity functions. We are managing the site well, with regular cleaning projects, landscaping efforts, repairs and upkeep as would be expected. The Senior Center Board has been managing the garden areas, have installed additional grab bars in the women's room and a handrail in the hallway. United Wav: The Board and I met with the United Way volunteers and staff on April 15,2004 to review current operations at the Senior Center. We recently received notice that the United Way of Larimer County has made another $10,000 allocation to the Senior Center for support of the meal programs. This award covers the funding period 7/1/04 through 6/30/05. Senior Center Board Activitv: The Board continues to fundraise, participate in Strategic Planning, Meals on Wheels program development and other committee functions. The Board is hosting 4 fundraiser buffet breakfasts the second Saturday of June, July, August and September at the Center from 7 am to 11 am. The community is invited. The cost is $6.00. The first breakfast raised $775 and 126 people attended, which was a record for the Senior Center board. El Pomar Foundation representatives will be visiting with the Board and me at the Center in early July. They were grantors to the Center in 2001. Public Relations: Seniors from the community participate in Senior Focus Radio twice a month and I participate in a regular radio spot the 3rd Monday of each month at 9:30 a.m. - focusing on the Senior Center. I have given short programs at various groups in town to promote the Senior Center. We continue to use the newspapers, the Senior Center newsletter, fliers, radio and TV to promote events and information. Programming The Senior Center board supports the wide expansion of programming at the Center. Suggestions and ideas are encouraged from the members. Fliers have been distributed and activities are open to the public. Public Relations efforts continue to bring in new visitors monthly. A large amount of credit goes to the membership for inviting and encouraging new visitors. The June Car Club BBQ was a big success this year with over 100 people in attendance. The Car Club co-sponsors the food purchase for this event and provides a donation to the Senior Center. Other holiday and theme events have drawn 60 to 100+ people per event. Page 2 (Continued) - Community Development Committee - Senior Center Report We continue to offer various holiday and theme events, musical and entertainment types of programs each month. Topics are varied and have included useful information on senior safety such as education on Methamphetamine Labs and entertainment programs on topics such as Women in WW II and "The Gutsiest Little Town in Colorado" among others. We have offered music programs by local preschool students, the Eagle Rock Choir and local piano students. At some point, we will be exploring the options for art and craft classes. Day trips have gone to the IMAX and Denver Museum ofNatural History, 2 area dinner theatres, a Colorado Rockies game and upcoming trips are scheduled to Black Hawk and Grand Lake - all with good response. JJ Rutherford, Education Curator for the Estes Park Museum and I have scheduled Senior Center lunches and museum/Hydroplant tours this summer for senior groups from Longmont, Westminster, Broomfield, Loveland and Brighton. These tours provide income for the museum and for the catering company and provide good exposure for the Senior Center. We continue to collaborate with the Estes Park Medical Center, Dr. Irv Ringdahl, the Aspen Club of the Poudre Valley Health System, Med Ex and Options for Healthy Living and the SALT (Seniors and Law Together) program to co-sponsor new and expanded educational programming at the Senior Center. This year we have offered programs on "Small Victories - Exercise" "Accupuncture" "Useful Vision" "Diabetes and Exercise" "The Process of Aging" "The New Medicare Drug Card" "Humor, Health and Healing" "West Nile Virus" "Foot and Ankle Problems in Older Persons" Blood Pressure clinics We have scheduled the following upcoming programs and will be adding more: "Understanding Lab Values" "Yoga and Exercise" "Cardiology" "Osteoporosis" "The Aging Eye" and we will offer "SAFE MED Class" for seniors to learn management of medications "Frauds and Scams Workshop" later this summer We are currently offering exercise classes three times a week and a Tai Chi class once a week. We are working with Med Ex staff and interns to develop and promote the existing exercise class.

They have operated each summer under guidelines set forth with their temporary use permit. The market has operated successfully, and should be considered an asset in the community, particularly since the profits have been donated to local charities. However, definitive regulations concerning the qualifications of individual vendors are lacking, and there is a need for a clear statement of what qualifies a vendor to participate in the market. With this in mind staff offers the following regulations: 1. Products sold shall be consumable or perishable items such as: vegetables, seedlings, herbs, preserves, fresh-cut or dried flowers, meats, soaps and lotions. 2. Vendors shall sell only agricultural, horticultural, or food items that they themselves have locally grown, produced, or processed. 3. Dairy products, canned goods, baked goods and other processed foods must be made in a licensed kitchen. Licenses shall be displayed at the market. 4. The resale of items purchased by the vendor shall not be permitted, unless it is processed into a value added product unique to the vendor. Budget Impact: none Recommendation: Adoption of the regulations .+ j MEMORANDUM Community Development To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph Date: 6-29-04 Subject: Site Construction Drawings and Release of Development Sites for Building Construction Background: (please see policy statements attached) It has been the past practice o f the Town and the Building Official to issue permits for large multi-family developments without requiring detailed site construction drawings. It has also been the past practice to issue permits for construction of single family homes prior to completion of streets and underground utilities. The result of this past practice is that staff spends more time in the field tracking as built construction for all aspects of code compliance (e.g. grading and drainage, setbacks, underground utility placement). Also, allowing building construction to begin prior to completion of street and driveway improvements presents problems for safe access to perform inspections and in some cases hinders emergency access if needed. We are proposing to end this practice and begin requiring detailed site construction drawings for multi-family and commercial sites. Also, we will withhold permits for building construction on all sites until roads and underground utilities are substantially complete. Budget Impact: Implementation of this policy willlead to more efficient use ofTown stafftime. Recommendation: Approval . Community Development June 29,2004 Policy Statement: No permits to begin construction on Multi-family or Commercial projects shall be issued until detailed site construction drawings have been submitted and approved by all affected utility providers and reviewing agencies. The Chief Building Official shall determine the level o f detail required to adequately describe the proposed improvements in order to assure compliance with all applicable codes and regulations. The required scale shall be 1 inch = 10 feet with proposed grading shown at a one foot contour interval, unless the building official specifically approves an alternate scale and interval as appropriate to the size and complexity ofthe project. Site construction drawings may be presented in phases for any site provided each phase stands alone as adequate documentation ofthe construction proposed for that phase of the project. Policy Statement: The Chief Building Official shall be authorized to withhold issuance ofpermits for construction of buildings until such time as the underground utilities and vehicular access are substantially complete and adequate to serve the building site. 6 Jun 28 04 10:25a Gregorj A White 9706672527 p.2 Memo Date: June 25,2004 TO: Community Development Committee From: Gregory A. White, Town Attorney Randy Repola, Assistant Town Administrator Scott Dorman, Fire Chief Subject: Moratorium of Business License Fees - Fire Distrjct The Town of Estes Park and the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department have been involved over the past two years in the formation of the Estes Park Fire Protection District (the "Fire District"). The Service Plan for the proposed Fire District was approved by the Larimer County Board of Commissioners on June 1, 2004. A Petition requesting formation of the Fire District was filed on June 24,2004 in the District Court, Larimer County, Colorado. It is anticipated the District Court will order the question of the formation of the Fire District along with the request for the Fire District to impose a 3.5 mill levy on all real and personal property located within the Fire District be placed on the general election ballot of November 2,2004. Accompanying this ballot question will be the election of the first Board of Directors of the Fire District. If the eligible electors of the Fire District approve the formation of the Fire District and the accompanying 3.5 mill levy, the operations, including capital expenditures, of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department will be funded through advalorem property tax collections to begin in January 2005. The Gallagher Amendment to the Colorado Constitution, requires that commercial property be assessed at 29% of its actual fair market value and residential property to be assessed at 7.96% of its actual fair market value (2003 rates). As such, commercial properties pay a disproportionate share of real property tax than residentially assessed property of equal market value. The Resolution accompanying this Memo will help alleviate, for the calendar years of 2005 through 2007, a substantial portion of this inequity by instituting a moratorium on the collection of the business license fee for all commercial property owners with business licenses within the Town limits. Jun 28 04 10:253 Gregoru A White 9706672527 p.3 The attached summary is an example of the effect of the 3.5 Fire District mill levy on a typical commercial property in the Town and a typical residential property. BUDGET The effect of the moratorium on the Town's General Fund is a yearly reduction of approximately $180,000 in revenue from business license fees. However, this amount will be more than offset by the reduction in the General Fund Expenditures for funding of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department. ACTION It is the recommendation of Staff and Mayor Baudek that this Resolution be forwarded to the Board of Trustees with a recommendation for approval. 2 :lvedax:-JU28200109Fax-SjzaticIL:-+_TOWN OF ESTES PARK , Jun 28 04 10:26a Gregory A White 9706672527 P.4 FIRE DISTRICT MILL LEVY 3.5 MILLS COMMERCIAL PROPERTY $500,000 Actual Fair Market Value x 29% $145,000 Assessed Value x .0035 3.5 mills $507.50 Tax RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY $300,000 Actual Fair Market Value x 7.96% $23,880 Assessed Value x .0035 3.5 mills $83.58 Tax PERCENTAGE CALCULATION Fire District Assessed Valuation $241,000,000 Town of Estes Park Assessed Valuation $145,187,000 Percentage in Town 60.2% Percentage out of Town 39.8% In Town Percentage Residential 66,000,000 45.5% Commercial 79,000,000 54.5% (Including vacant land) Based on the above: Commercial property in Town would pay approximately $273,000 of the total taxes for the Fire District.

I have been involved as a committee member of the Fire District Action Team for the past two years. As you are aware, the Fire District Action Team recommended to the Board of Trustees that the organization of a Fire Protection District be pursued for the purpose of funding the operation and capital expenditures of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department through the collection of property taxes on real and personal property located within the proposed Fire Protection District. On June 1, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado approved the Service Plan for the Estes Park Fire Protection District. Said Service Plan calls for the payment of all fire and emergency services provided by the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department through a levy of 3.5 mills on real and personal property located within the District. If the eligible electors of the Estes Park Fire Protection District approve the organization of the District at the general election on November 2,2004, and the 3.5 mill levy is certified by the newly elected Board of Directors of the Estes Park Fire Protection District, approximately 60% of the real property tax will come from properties located within the Town. Accordingly, the Town will be relieved of its current obligation to fund the operations of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department from the General Fund of the Town. http://www.estesnet.com (970) 586-5331 â€¢ RO. BOX 1200 â€¢ 170 MACGREGORAVENUE â€¢ ESTES PARK, CO 80517 â€¢ FAX (970) 586-2816 Due to the provisions of the Gallagher Amendment to the Colorado Constitution, commercially assessed property pays approximately four times the amount of real property tax that residential property pays for equal market value. It is my opinion that the Town of Estes Park should ease this inequity on the commercial property owners located within the Town boundaries by the Board of Trustees enacting a moratorium on the collection of business license fees for the calendar years of 2005 through 2007. These business license fees would only include those businesses located within the Town of Estes Park and not business license fees paid by those businesses located outside the boundaries of the Town. In my capacity as Mayor, I urge that the Community Development Committee recommend this action to the Town Board of Trustees. Sincerely, Â» Â»4,2,<f John Baudek Mayor Town of Estes Park Estes Park, Colorado 80517 RESOLUTION NO.

Vickie O'Connor MEMORANDUM Community Development To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph Date: 6-29-04 Subject: Knoll/Willows Entry Signs Background: The Knoll/Willows master plan identifies three locations where "entry signage" would be appropriate: the overlook on MacGregor Ave., the bridge at the municipal parking lot, and the north parking lot offofthe 34 bypass. Staffnow proposes the following text for these three locations: The Knoll-Willows Nature Preserve A Gift for Future Generations Go out under the open sky and feel the gentle influences of Nature -Enos Mills, 1870-1922; the Father of the Rocky Mountain National Park It is anticipated that this text should be placed on small bronze plaques to be permanently mounted as entry signage at the locations noted above. Budget Impact: to be determined at a later date Recommendation: Proceed with final design MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development Board of Trustees FROM: Special Events Department - Linda Hinze DATE: June 28,2004 SUBJECT: Request for Street Closure during Elk Fest - October 1, 2, 3 Background: The Elk Fest Committee will be expanding the events during Elk Fest to include additional exhibits and would like to extend the area for display to include McGregor Avenue between Elkhorn Avenue and Park Avenue. They are planning to place the stage and some vendors in that space. Therefore, we are asking that McGregor Avenue be closed from Friday thru Sunday evening, October 1,2 & 3. Recommendation: The Special Events Department has discussed with Commander Van Deutekom of the Police Department this closure. That weekend is busy, however they do not think that it will cause any major concerns with traffic. Both recommend that this request be granted. I ., , Business Development Memo TO: Community Development Committee From: Tom Pickering, Director of Business Development Date: 7/01/04 Re: Business Development Logo Background: Through the DSW agreement with EPURA, a new graphics design program was induded in the scope of work. This program was intended to brand the river walk and provide a visual element that could be used throughout the community. DSW has performed this service before in communities like Copper Mountain, Denver, Arvada, and others where they handled the graphics and signage project. DSW and EPURA invited the Town's Director of Business Development, Director of Communications and the Streets and Parks Superintendent to participate in the series of sessions to analyze the key elements of a design process. The Business Development department looked for a design that conveyed a contemporary feel. It needed to convey sense of place. This one does. The graphic of a pine tree and the letters EP both enclosed in a rectangle with the words Estes Park Colorado dearly signifies a community in Colorado surrounded by pine trees. We asked that the design be adaptable to different uses. This one is. The graphic element without additional text, serves well for signage as well as a means of carrying the branding therne on the properties of the Town. For informational signage, the design allows the nexibility with the addition of the facility names, e.g. Estes Park Conference Center; the design is scalable meaning that it can support a graphic as large as may be used on a billboard as well as a graphic that may be used on a 1/6th page ad. Also important is that there is a connection with previous graphics representing the Town. This one does. The tree graphic connects very well with the tree graphic that was used as part of the advertising program from late1980's well into the 1990's. The typography used is the same as the current advertising logo. This gives visual continuity and integrity going back almost 20 years.
