We estimate final sales will reach in the $150,000 range resulting in fewer pages than originally planned. 2. Current Planner requests (mailed) are down 7% compared to a five year average, but we are starting a new baseline with planner downloads which totaled 59,984. We don't know how much downloadable products cannibalize requests for a mailed version. 3. Magazine advertising generated leads are up by 3.84% 4. Internet advertising (Google Ad-Words campaign) generated over 39,000 click throughs to our CVB website resulting in an extremely low cost per lead acquisition. This level of performance is what will drive our future Internet campaigns.

Footings and foundations are in place and the plumbing and electrical runs are being installed. The concrete floor will be poured this week. The fill dirt is being added to raise the surrounding parking areas by two feet. You will see two new construction sign identifying the project with its owner, architect, and contractor. Weekly construction meetings are being held with the construction crew. Goal Team three has almost completed their work on the building. Last week final decisions were made regarding outside colors. The interiors have been selected and orders have been placed. We have had too add a few items into the project to comply with the local building officials. The second stairway, originally removed for budget reasons has been returned. Also on the concrete ramps a special treatment for safety needed to be included. The National Park has met with us and we have added a few outlets and a phone line for their use. They are planning to have a kiosk in the lobby area to sell tickets and passes to the park. We will continue to keep you abreast of the progress, but please don't hesitate coming down foe a tour. BUDGET: N/A ACTION: Report Only Administration Memo To: Community Development Committee From: Randy Repola Date: August 2,2005 Subject: Heritage Festival Funding Request Background The attached request from Dee Pritchard, chairperson of the Estes Park Heritage Festival Committee, was received in Administration this week. The group is planning a one-day event on August 27,2005 and has requested $5,000 from the Town of Estes Park. Based upon the budget submitted, it appears that this would amount to slightly less than half of the event budget. In the past, the Town has assisted groups with financial support for events. For example, in 2001 the Community Development Committee approved funding of $1,000 per day (up to $5,000) for the 2002 Estes Cycling Challenge. Following this event, staff began allocating funds in the Special Events budget to support events not directly sponsored by the Town. Budget The 2005 Special Events budget contains $2,000 for event requests of this nature. Action Staff requests consideration of the Estes Park Heritage Festival funding request.

Museum/Senior Center Services Menlo To: Community Development Committee From: Betty Kilsdonk Date: 8/1/2005 Re: Request by Estes Park Heritage Festival Committee to use Knoll/Willows site Background: The Estes Park Heritage Festival Committee (EPHFC) has requested the use of the Knoll/Willows site for storytelling and reenactments from 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday, August 27. There is a rain date for this event of Sunday, August 28. Attached is the proposed schedule of events as it appeared on the Estes Park Heritage Festival web site on July 29. Discussion at the July 7 Community Development Committee meeting included concerns regarding the impact of public use on the Birch Cabin and the site. My understanding is that today's request is for use of the north end of the site only and not the Birch Cabin or Ruins. Also discussed at the July 7 meeting was limiting storytelling themes to those related to Albert Birch and the Knoll. The storytelling/reenactment themes listed on the Heritage Festival site include neither Al Birch nor the Knoll. However, they are local history oriented. Cost/Budget: There is no direct cost to the Town. Action: Staff recommends approval for EPHFC to use of the north end of the Knoll for this one-day event, with two provisos: 1) If a backup site is needed, that the Municipal Building board room or other venue be used rather than the Birch Cabin; and 2) That group size be limited to 15 at one time so as to minimize site impact. 1 Schedule of Events Saturday, August 27, 2005 10:00 am - 10:00 pm Rain Date - Sunday, August 28,2005 Storytelling & Poetry Readings in Knoll Willows & Tregent Park KNOLL WILLOWS 10:00 am Mountain Man Stories & Tattoo Demo 11:00 am Rocky Mountain National Park Kurt Oliver Stories 12:00 pm F.O.

Institute of Museum and Library Services Grant Project Our federal grant-funded project to convert our paper catalog worksheets to a database is progressing on schedule. With the funds we hired a data entry technician who works 30 hours a week. The PastPerfect database now contains over 20,000 records. Before the project began, the database contained 10,500 records. As part of our project match, during the week of September 12 to September 17, graduate students from Emporia State University's School of Library Information Management will work with the curator on digitizing photographs and cataloguing a "corporate archive of materials related to the museum' s institutional history. 2. Collections Update Collections curator Becky Latanich has been clearing up a backlog of non-accessioned items, items awaiting accession, and items that have been deaccessioned. Year-to-date 371 items have been added to the permanent and/or reference collection. One hundred twenty non-accessioned items have been transferred to the permanent collections of other museums throughout the country. Fifty-one objects have been deaccessioned from the permanent collections to non-profit organizations per Museum policy. Items are deaccessioned if they do not meet the Museum's mission, upon the recommendation of Collections Committee members with the apbroval of the Advisory Board. 3.

United Wav - Year end report on Senior Center meal programs: o The year-end report (2004-2005) was completed and submitted per United Way requirements. Senior Center staff collects and manages meal program data including a new data base for client demographics. o SURVEY FINDINGS: 0 107 surveys were returned during a two-week period in July 2005 o In-House Dining Customers: • 56% female; 40% male; 4% unknown • 3% under age 55 • 1% age 60 or under • 21 % between the ages of 60 and 70 • 65% age 71 or better • 9% no response re' age · 10% were visitors from outside Estes Park • 21% were summer residents of Estes Park • 55% were year round residents of Estes Park • 14% gave no response re' location o Meals on Wheels Customers: • 67% female; 33% male • 17% under age 55 • 17% between the ages of 60 and 70 • 66% age 70 or better o Question #1: 106 of 107 (99%) respondents felt the meals were nutritious and well balanced o Question #2: 73 of 107 (68%) respondents stated theywould not ordinarily shop for and prepare this type of meal themselves o Question #3: 92 of 107 (86%) felt some sense of well being or social benefit from eating the meal with others or from having interaction with volunteer drivers ' Report continued next page 1 . 1. United Wav - Year end report on Senior Center meal programs cont'd: o Senior Center Meal Program Customers o OVERALL DEMOGRAPHICS for the period 7.1.04 to 6.30.05: o The Senior Center served 1142 unduplicated meal customers in this period Of those 1142,1103 unduplicated customers used in-house dining and 67 were Meals on Wheels customers 57% female and 43% male 82% from the Estes Park area or summer residents of the area 38% under the age of 60 60% age 60 or better 2% were children The Senior Center saw an increase of 93 new meal customers in the period compared to the prior 12-month reporting period. Total in-house meals served in this period:'9862 Total Meals on Wheels served in this period: 4218 o Survev Conclusions: o We continue to see a slight shift toward younger senior customers which would be in line with the national trend involving the "baby boomef' generation. o We are satisfied with the overall results of the survey. Responses to questions 1 and 3 exceeded the target. o The response to question 2 did not meet the target; however, there is a valid reason. The younger customer base is more active or engaged in activities, dinners and events, with an assumption of less total dependence on the Senior Center for meals. 2. Senior Center Board: o Two more summer breakfast fundraisers are scheduled - August 13 and September 17 from 7:00 am to 11:00 am. The June breakfast serOed 141 people (vs. 127 last year) and the July breakfast served 193 people (compared to 208 last year). 2005 Membership has grown to 437 year-to-date. 2004 total membership was 297. Board continues to research the option of purchasing a van for recreational trips. 3. General Operations: o Maintenance projects continue as scheduled / budgeted: art sink, deck refinishing, exterior signage planning, planning for dining room tile. o Program plans include expansion of offerings to include fall and winter art, education and literature classes or study sessions 4. Grant Funding for Meal Programs : 200+2005 Fiscal Year: a. For Fiscal Year 2004 - 2005, the United Way reduced its meal program subsidy from a budgeted $12,000 to a total of $10,739.20. The 2005 Senior Center budget will reflect an adjustment of <$1260.80>. We received a $2475 operating grant for 2005 from the Larimer County Commissioners which will offset the change in United Way revenue for this year. b. For calendar year 2005, the El Pomar Foundation awarded the Senior Center a $2500 operating grant for the meal programs. This matches the budgeted revenue from El Pomar for 2005. 2005-2006 Fiscal Year: c. For Fiscal Year 2005-2006, the United Way reduced its meal program subsidy from a budgeted $12,000 to a total of $8550, leaving a shortfall of $3450. d. For calendar year 2006, the El Pomar Foundation awarded the Senior Center a $2500 operating grant for the meal programs. The line item revenue from El Pomar for 2006 was $10,000, leaving a $7500 shortfall. e. The combined revenue shortfall from grant sources thus far is $10,950. Senior Center staff will be evaluating the budget and determine areas to adjust or identify other sources of revenue to offset these changes. 2 00 000000 0 00 %62 44% 408* &»Ut 0339 C & ID CO 1 K 39 ~ 4- IN 9 C ·p ™ ' 2 Fg %8 9 Co . $ 28 3$ r.

Enforcement: • Noise sources or violations reported to police will be checked to see if they apply under the ordinance. Only violations not exempted by the ordinance are subject to enforcement or citations. Ex: Town of Estes Park or School sponsored events, see municipal code for more exemptions. If any noise source is specifically exempt under the ordinance, or an activity is permitted during listed days and times, officers cannot stop the activity or source of the noise. • To establish a noise violation, officers must be able to hear the noise at its source as it is happening from the specified distances. (See Municipal code) • Officers may need to contact persons reporting the violation to get more information or to actually hear the noise from the complainant's location and get a better perspective on the alleged violation. If the noise has stopped before officers arrive, no direct action can be taken at that time. Officers will only remain at a location for a reasonable amount of time to wait for a noise to reoccur. • First time violators will be contacted by a police officer and receive a written warning. Officers will complete the warning with all pertinent contact information and decibel readings as well as locations that the readings were taken by the sound level meter (SLM). Warnings are tracked by communications computer database. Tracking is necessary to establish a basis for any future enforcement action or citations. • Following a warning, a noise source exceeding the levels or hours prescribed in the ordinance is subject to citation. As necessary, alleged violations ofthe ordinance will be measured by officers using a calibrated Sound Level Meter (SLM), set to an A-weighting. Citations issued will be assessed and processed through the Municipal Court. • Occasionally, officers will check some noise sources exempted under the ordinance as a courtesy and contact people creating the noise to see if an accommodation or reduction of the noise can be made. • All officers are required to read and familiarize themselves with Title 8.04.080. LexisNexis(TM) CD Page 1 of 3 25-12-103. Maximum permissible noise levels. (1) Every activity to which this article is applicable shall be conducted in a manner so that any noise produced is not objectionable due to intermittence, beat frequency, or shrillness. Sound levels of noise radiating from a property line at a distance of twenty-five feet or more therefrom in excess of the db(A) established for the following time periods and zones shall constitute prima facie evidence that such noise is a public nuisance: 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to Zone next 7:00 p.m. next 7:00 a.m. Residential 55 db (A) 50 db (A) Commercial 60 db (A) 55 db (A) Light industrial 70 db (A) 65 db (A) Industrial 80 db (A) 75 db (A) (2) In the hours between 7:00 a.m. and the next 7:00 p.m., the noise levels permitted in subsection (1) of this section may be increased by ten db(A) for a period of not to exceed fifteen minutes in any one-hour period. (3) Periodic, impulsive, or shrill noises shall be considered a public nuisance when such noises are at a sound level of five db(A) less than those listed in subsection (1) ofthis section. (4) This article is not intended to apply to the operation of aircraft or to other activities which are subject to federal law with respect to noise control. (5) Construction projects shall be subject to the maximum permissible noise levels specified for industrial zones for the period within which construction is to be completed pursuant to any applicable construction permit issued by proper authority or, if no time limitation is imposed, for a reasonable period of time for completion ofproject. (6) All railroad rights-of-way shall be considered as industrial zones for the purposes of this article, and the operation of trains shall be subject to the maximum permissible noise levels specified for such zone. (7) This article is not applicable to the use of property for purposes of conducting speed or endurance events involving motor or other vehicles, but such exception is effective only during the specific period of time within which such use of the property is authorized by the political subdivision or governmental agency having lawful jurisdiction to authorize such use. (8) For the purposes of this article, measurements with sound level meters shall be made when the wind velocity at the time and place of such measurement is not more than five miles per hour. (9) In all sound level measurements, consideration shall be given to the effect of the ambient noise level created by the encompassing noise of the environment from all sources at the time and place of such sound level measurement. (10) This article is not applicable to the use of property for the purpose of manufacturing, maintaining, or grooming machine-made snow. This subsection (10) shall not be construed to preempt or limit the authority of any political subdivision having jurisdiction to regulate noise abatement. http://198.187.128.12/colorado/lpext.dll/Infobase4/3d986/3&29/40e5d/40e87?f=templates&... 8/1/2005 LexisNexis(TM) CD Page 2 of 3 (11) This article is not applicable to the use of property by this state, any political subdivision of this state, or any other entity not organized for profit, including, but not limited to, nonprofit corporations, or any of their lessees, licensees, or permittees, for the purpose of promoting, producing, or holding cultural, entertainment, athletic, or patriotic events, including, but not limited to, concerts, music festivals, and fireworks displays. This subsection (11) shall not be construed to preempt or limit the authority of any political subdivision having jurisdiction to regulate noise abatement. (12) (a) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the public utilities commission may determine, while reviewing utility applications for certificates of public convenience and necessity for electric transmission facilities, whether projected noise levels for electric transmission facilities are reasonable. Such determination shall take into account concerns raised by participants in the commission proceeding and the alternatives available to a utility to meet the need for electric transmission facilities. When applying, the utility shall provide notice of its application to all municipalities and counties where the proposed electric transmission facilities will be located. The public utilities commission shall afford the public an opportunity to participate in all proceedings in which permissible noise levels are established according to the "Public Utilities Law", articles l to 7 of title 40, C.R.S. (b) Because of the statewide need for reliable electric service and the public benefit provided by electric transmission facilities, notwithstanding any other provision of law, no municipality or county may adopt an ordinance or resolution setting noise standards for electric transmission facilities that are more restrictive than this subsection (12). The owner or operator of an electric transmission facility shall not be liable in a civil action based upon noise emitted by electric transmission facilities that comply with this subsection (12). (c) For the purposes of this section: (I) "Electric transmission facility" means a power line or other facility that transmits electrical current and operates at a voltage level greater than or equal to 44 kilovolts. (ID "Rights-of-way for electric transmission facilities" means all property rights and interests obtained by the owner or operator of an electric transmission facility for the purpose of constructing, maintaining, or operating the electric transmission facility.
