The visitors center was built by the people of Estes Park to offer assistance to our visitors. The Ambassadors, along with the CVB staff, meet and greet over 200,000 people a year to answer qjestions and assist with directions. Many visistors ask for merchandise to be made available to them in visitor's center. It is the primary task for the Ambassadors and staff to direct the visitors to shop in the businesses in town. Occasionally a visitor will not be able to shop iii town and would like to buy a post card or something with Estes Park's logo on it. As a convenience to the visitors, the center will provide a limited selection of merchandise for those requests. The items that can be sold in the center include post cards, calendars, Rocky Mountain Nature Association files that they have produced, and a small inventory of branded items. These branded items may include, mug, watdr bottle, travel coffee mug, ball cap, a child's toy, and packaged coffee. Addtionial items may be reqested by visitors, and may be added to the inventory with permission from the board. The procedure to display these items has been created to display the items while not offering a compulsive shopping environment. The post cards and calendars will be on a post card rack. The Nature Associations booklets will be on their custom display. The branded items will have one of each on display with a note that these items are available behind the counter. The visitors center will continue to sell stickets and items to local community benefits and fund raising events for the betterment of the community. Draft ESTES PARK CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU POLICY Retail Sales Policy in the Visitors Center This policy addresses the parameters by which the CVB will abide when selling merchandise in the visitors center. The visitors center was built by the people of Estes Park to offer assistance to our visitors. The Ambassadors along with the CVB staff meet and greet over 200,000 people a year to answer questions and assist with directions. It is the primary task for the Ambassadors and staff to direct the visitors to shop with the retailers in town. Occasionally a visitor will be passing through and not be able to stop in town but, would like to buy a post card or something with Estes Park on it as a remembrance. As a convenience to the visitors the center will provide a limited selection of merchandise for those requests. The items that can be sold in the center include post cards, calendars, Rocky Mountain Nature Association, and Museum titles produced by those groups, and a small inventory of branded items. These branded items may include a mug, water bottle, travel coffee mug, ball cap, a child' s toy, and packaged coffee. Additional items may be requested by visitors and may be added to the inventory at a later date with permission from the committee. This merchandise is being displayed in a manner that does not create a compulsive shopping environment. The post cards and calendars will be on a post card rack. The books and branded items will have samples of each on display plus a pricing list noting that these items are available behind the counter. The visitors center will continue to sell tickets and items to benefit local community fund raising events for the betterment of the community. - i DRAFT ESTES PARK CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU POLICY Distribution of non-profit/ community events and information. This policy addresses the method by which the CVB will deliver services to organizations in the region that define themselves as non profits or community organizations. We will define two types of non profits. 1. Those that represent a group of people to promote the betterment of the community, and 2.a businesses association that represents a group of businesses that promote their businesses interests. 1. A community organization presiding within the 12.5 mile region that serves the betterment of the community or a (Federal 501-c-3) within the region, has a listing on the CVB web site under non-profits at no charge. These organizations may or may not have a businesses license and are not required to purchase a CVB membership based on their mission. A community organization may consist of churches, fraternal organizations, service clubs, civic groups, and common interest groups. If these organizations wish to display their information in the Visitors Center on a year round basis, they will purchase a lobby brochure rack price at the going rate. If they have an event or once a year ) offering to benefit the betterment of the community then they can post their notice on the community bulletin board for a period of 30 days prior their event at no charge. If a brochure accompanies their event posting they can display the brochure in the community rack at no charge. 2. A business association comprised of local businesses from the area that complies with the association policy can purchase services from the CVB by paying the membership fee or purchasing the appropriate business license and buying the services at market rate. Examples of a businesses association would be the Chamber of Commerce, hotel association, restaurant association, Board of Realtors, CACEP, Art Center, Wedding Association, etc... If these organizations wish to display their brochures then they will either have an appropriate business license or pay the association membership fee. They will then be able to purchase services from the CVB and share in the defined association benefits (see association policy). If one of these organizations conducts a fund raising event that raises money to go to a charitable organization in the community, then they too can put this event brochure or poster in the community board for thirty days prior their function at no charge. The deciding characteristic for determining the appropriate charges or the posting location is by following the money. If the event raises money, with at least 75% of the proceeds going to the cause, for the community, then it is a community posting at no charge unless they want to purchase a lobby brochure rack. If the event raises funds to ) benefit the association or business members, then it is an association membership event and they pay for their space.

Interesting fact is that January and February requests generated the bulk of this increase with March being just 3% over last March. 2. Guide Downloads are 142% over this period last year. Note that 2005 downloads were still a fairly new product, and our natural Search Engine Ranking was not as high as it is ) now. This growth should continue this year, then, start to stabilize. 3. Magazine advertising up 4.75% compared the 1St quarter last year. April/May responses will increase this, particularly with the May flight, much of which includes Co-Op advertising with the state advertising campaign. 4. Internet advertising Started on Google Ad-Words with a multi targeted effort on April 15th. We also are using Google Analytics to evaluate these programs by developing conversion ratios and return on investment numbers which will give us an accurate "Cost of Acquisition" to compare to our Magazine "Cost Per Inquiry" figures. 5. Program Planning we are adding distribution at DIA of our Real Rockies 4"x9" brochure starting in June when the reprints are available. This will be in addition to the already scheduled distribution along I-25 from Castle Rock to Cheyenne, I-76 to Julesburg, and I-70 to Burlington. Total distribution will be 110,000 pieces this year. 6. WATS line calls appear to have stabilized after about 10 years of steady decline. First quarter total is down only 3.7%, and March itself came in up 2.3% 7. Work in Progress: Promotion (radio, print, posters) for Jazz Fest are done, Work on Rodeo promotion has begun with a new poster design we're very excited about. Wool Market is in the works as well. ACTION ITEM: None BACKGROUND: N/A BUDGET/COST: N/A RECOMMENDATION: N/A TOWN OF ESTES PARK j Office Memorandum To: Community Development Committee -Trustees Pinkam, Levine, Eisenlauer From: Suzy Blackhurst I)ate: April 30,2006 Re: Communications Report REPORTS: 1. Formal Grand Opening-Dedication of the Visitors Center While the number of guests who attended the dedication exceeded planning estimates (we estimated 400 would attend; the door counters showed 492 were at the celebration), the resulting effects have shown the event was a catalyst for increasing CVB service sales. Since the grand opening event, 11 businesses have either joined the CVB or increased their level of participation with CVB efforts through brochure rack space or enhanced www.EstesParkCVB.com listings resulting in additional income of $6,170. As gratifying is ) the addition of 12 new Ambassadors to the volunteer organization's roster. 2. Special Requests fulfilled through April 30, 2006: 13 ACTION ITEM: None CDC Report - Group Sales for April 2006 CONFERENCE CENTER As previous reports have indicated, the Conference Center carpet is in need of replacement. General cleaning by the Conference Center staff helps to maintain the carpet, but the occasional professional steam cleaning will assist in prolonging the life of the carpet until the replacement can be implemented this winter. Therefore, we will be cleaning the carpet with Briggs in May. Bids are being sought. End of Year Report: Attached please find the End of the Year Report for the Estes Park Conference Center. ADVERTISING/MEDIA The CVB is continuing to advertise in Reunions Magazine. We are now listed in their Catalog of Reunion Resources A co-ad is being placed in the summer issue of Colorado Meetings and Events. The co-op is sponsored by the CVB Group Sales dept. and will feature the Estes Park Conference Center, Estes Valley Resorts and the Stanley Hotel. Julie met recently with a local Colorado chapter of the Red Hat Society. They are scheduled to hold a city-wide event in Estes Park in May of 2007. The attached press release and photo was recently published in both Estes Park papers. Additional articles will be written and hopefully published over the next several months to discuss the upcoming conference. Two interviews were given with an MPI travel writer for their meetings trade magazine. Attached are the articles found in the Colorado Supplement of Meeting Professional International, which was mailed to 2,000+ meeting planners throughout the USA in April. In addition, an ad was placed in the Colorado Supplement of Successful Meetings Magazine and Estes Park was mentioned as well in the CADMO article and list of CVB offices throughout our state. GROUP SALES LEAD/REFERRALS Group activity has remained comparable to 2005 statistics for the month of April in all areas except tours. The leads and referrals for the tour market have dropped significantly from 2005 figures. See attached end of year figures for 2006 year to date. MARKETING PROJECT Group Sales assists the Estes Park High School Marketing Class annually with a marketing/sales project. This year, I chose a project for the students that may assist me with the new group sales flyer/brochure scheduled for design and print later this year. The students are serving as project managers for the new informational brochure. Attached is the outline of the program. They will be presenting their findings to the CVB on May 1 0th of this month at 10:35 in the Visitor Center. You are invited and encouraged to attend the presentation from the three various teams that have desigued the new brochure. ESTES PARK CONFERENCE CENTER 2005 YEAR END REPORT The Estes Park Conference Center, completed in 1991, has been promoting conferences to the Estes Valley during the off peak or "value season" for 15 years. Due to some changing trends in the industry, we are now taking a little more active stance by including promotions for the peak season as well. While our focus and efforts still revolve around the off-season use of the Conference Center, peak season business is now being explored and sought after to some degree. In the last two years, Estes Park has experienced a change in occupancy with a decrease in "off the road" or "drive by" reservatidns. Visitors are booking on shorter notice, but are more likely to have their reservations made prior to arrival. With the recent growth and upgrades in lodging facilities, nightly room rental fees have increased, but occupancies have decreased for some of the larger facilities that used to fill their remaining inventory with this "offthe road" traffic. Larger hotels are now more willing to offer room blocks for - - - conference-groups during peak season at discounted group rates. - -- During 2005, the EPCC hosted a total of 129 groups. Of this total 84 were conferences, equating to 10,043 conference attendees. This was an increase of 6 conference groups and 1,746 attendees. The community continues to use the EPCC with 39 groups in 2004, down 6 groups from last year. The 8,563 local attendees count has dropped from last year, due primarily to a combination of smaller group events and less events. Group travel, while noticeably on the rise, is still affected by an edonomy that hhs been slow to rebound in our region. Some ofthe factors of concern this year include: - Price competitive bids from ski towns and ski venues in Colorado. - Upgraded conference facilities in the last two years throughout the state. - Evening activities/entertainment during free time for conferees. - Average length of stay was 2.1 days per group, while 2004 saw 2.7 days per group. The Holiday Inn began renovations on the lobby, lounge and restaurant in November of 2004 and was reopened for business in November of 2005. This decreased available meeting space by two meeting rooms through most of 2005, which were used through October for the restaurant and lounge. This affected some planners during their site tours and the groups that arrived expecting to find the work cbmpleted. I do not feel that it had a huge impact on actual booking confirmations that were scheduled for future years. We had a few groups considering conferences in 4-6 months that mentioned their skepticism as to it' s tihiely completion. We are inviting them up for a second site-tour now that the facilities are open in hopes ofbooking their meetings for tuture years. Group planners seemed more concerned with the atrium area joining the two facilities, the two Holiday Inn - meeting rooms of lesser quality, plus the outdated and very worn look of the furniture and carpet in the Conference Center. The Holiday Inn has done a good job of maintaining the facility. After 15 years of contihual use, the carpet and furniture replacement will be a requirement for 2006 to stay competitive in the meetings market. The replacement was scheduled for the 2005/2006 off-season, but did not happen due to budgetary reasons. Additional monies will be needed to facilitate this for the 2006/2007 aff season.

Referrals rr ~ad:ifil 2006 Spring Marketing Class Project Estes Park Convention and Visitors Bureau Group Sales and Marketing Project: To develop a bid proposal and design a mock up for a suggested printed piece for the Estes Park CVB group sales department to implement for the 2006-2008 seasons. Please include estimated costs for printing, mailing, production etc. so piece can be confirmed to be within budget listed below. Your final project presentation should include details regarding selected print company chosen, weight of paper, cost of mailing including postage, envelopes etc., number of pages, how the piece is bound, assembled etc. Purpose: This printed piece is to be used as one of the primary marketing tools for the group sales department of the Estes Park CVB, complimenting our website. Its purpose is to entice group planners to choose Estes Park as the location for their next Colorado visiVevent. Background on Group Sales: The EPCVB group sales department works with four distinctive markets that include: Reunions: family primarily, but also military, friends, classmates etc. Conferences and Meetings: There are about 25 meeting venues in Estes Park offering facilities for groups of 10-1000 ppl. Each is very diverse in size, style, etc. Weddings: Estes Park hosts approx. 4000 weddings each year from elopements to 300 ppI at a wedding. I work with brides to help them find the venue, caterer, photographer, videographer, officiate, lodging etc. There are over 55 vendors in this category. Tours: generally motorcoach tours for senior citizens and student groups, but some international travelers and RV clubs. This piece has to address each one of these markets. It would be great if it can incorporate: *Contact information for each of various businesses that work with that particular market. *Possibly include paid ads from the various businesses. *Color photos that will help with the general sales message. *A map of Estes Park/RMNP. A shelf life of three years is preferred, but due to ever changing contact information and addition/deletion of stakeholders and members, the option fof changes needs to be addressed. Budget: The budget for design, printing and all aspects of production (including any photography costs) is $4000.00. This budget may be increased if advertising is sold to local businesses. Please address this option if you feel individual ads are appropriate in your design, cost suggestions, sizes of ads etc. Design: Heather Kjar of Uneek Designs, based in Estes Park, will do the actual graphic design for this piece. Her design rates are generally about $100/hour. CVB staff will write copy for the piece so no charges will apply for this. The format and size for the printed piece are optional, but I prefer that it be in color. Open to all suggestions-- please list any data/research available as to why a particular size, style etc. is recommended. Include all printing specs as to weight and type of paper suggested, finish to be used, mailing process, stapling/binding/assembling etc. A great deal of my work is now done through email. I would love the option to have this piece (either in its entirety or in sections by market) to be able to be emailed as PDF's and possibly downloaded through the CVB website; if so, it will need to be easily downloaded and printer-friendly. Due to it's use in direct mail, paying attention to costs of postage will also be critical. I do not want this piece to be a replica of another community's style of literature. I would like something a little more cutting edge in style and format. Must be in a printed format though and not strictly a CD due to my clientele. The goal is to make Estes Park stand out from the others when they receive it-this can be done through photos, but also by the design of the piece. It must still contain the information necessary for them to make an informed decision and entice them to feel nowhere else in Colorado will work for their group. Quantity: I anticipate utilizing approximately 2,000 pieces over the next three years, particularly through direct mail campaigns and at trade shows. Should price breaks be noticed with smaller quantities, please present those options and a shorter shelf life might then be appropriate. .- ESTES .~~..

We currently have a process where submittals are reviewed for completeness prior to acceptance for review, but we are flexible with this review, often allowing minor items to be provided later on as the review progresses. We now see the need to tighten up the completeness review, and to reject submittals that are incomplete at the time of submission. This normally adds one month to the applicant' s time frame. We also have problems with late submittals of plats for recording and for development plan mylars after a development application is approved. In addition to this tightening, we see the need to implement a re-submittal fee charge for projects that badly neglect or ignore completion items and conditions of approval. Last month the committee directed staff to finalize a re-submittal fee policy for adoption this month. Budget Impact: We estimate that a badly prepared applications typically costs 8 to 10 hours of staff time per week. Recommendation: Adopt a policy giving the Community Development Director the authority to charge a re- submittal fee of up to 20 % of the original submittal fee under the following conditions: 1. Failure to properly utilize the submittal check lists. 2. Failure to respond to written requests from the Planning Staff in a timely manner for additional information or revisions. 3. Failure to comply with conditions of approval within the time frames established by the Estes Valley Development Code. This policy would be implemented with issuance of a warning upon the first offense, a fee of 10% upon the second, and a fee of 20% upon the third. This will be based per the Engineering office. This fee will not be charged when the Director determines that the circumstances were beyond the control of the responsible Engineer or Architect. The Community j Development Committee will hear any appeals of the Director's decision. To: Estes Park Planning Commission and Bob Joseph From: Sid and Laura Brown, Big Horn Restaurant Date: April 26,2006 RE: Proposed ban on hickory smokers Facts about our smoker: 1. Our unit is professionally built and has won first place in some ofthe most prestigious cook off events including Memphis in May (3 times). 2. It is propane heated and uses an electric thermostat control so that only a few pieces ofwood are needed for the seasoning ofthe meat. As a result, we burn about 1/3 cord of hickory wood a year. 3. Professionally constructed smokers have a widespread reputation throughout the country as providing a quality product. As a result, rules to ban them have not been enacted. 4. Moving our smoker indoors would produce more concentrated smoke because of the exhaust system blowing the air out in one forced direction. With the smoker outside, the air (plus wind) disperses the aroma in all directions. Ramifications: 1. Any regulation that is not fairly drafted will have a huge impact on many businesses existing and in the future. What if someone wanted to open a wood- fired pizza place similar to those in other mountain resort towns? Are we to become the only city that shuts its door to great wood seasoned food? 2. How do we handle the fairground special events which bring in smokers such as the rodeo and the Scottish Fest and still keep it equitable with existing businesses? 3. I was approached by a Quota Club member about the possibility of setting up a fund raiser with a BBQ cook off like they have in many places from most of the South to such Colorado locations as Dillon, Frisco and Breckenridge. Am I to answer that it's against the law to have such wonderful events? Even if a special events license were issued, how is this fair to ban the same product from existing businesses that bring in sales tax to the town throughout the year. In closing, not to toot our own horn, but we do donate a lot of real BBQ (not Liquid Smoke imitations) to charities, fund raisers such as Taste of Estes, school events and so on. Moreover, our BBQ is the primary focus of our catering revenue. To force us to close a huge part of our business would be the real crime. Attached are petitions asking that hickory smoked BBQ be a part ofthe food industry in Estes Park. Most, as they signed, said that they enjoy the smell of BBQ. They just followed their noses to the restaurant!

The current status of this use is that it is prohibited in the Commercial Downtown due to the containment provision that requires all business activity to be contained within a building. However, this use is currently allowed in the Commercial Outlying zoning district. Staff has spent considerable time researching regulations in other municipalities and we find that most cities have no regulations specifically targeted to regulate this use. Staff identifies a range of regulatory options: A. Status quo: prohibited in CD district but allowed in the CO district. B. Adoption of setback standards for the CO district in order to mitigate impacts to adjacent property. C. Prohibition of all wood fired smokers in all commercial districts. This regulation would simply prohibit the use of solid fuel in association with commercial food preparation. This would simplify enforcement, since any equipment that is not electric or gas fired would be non-compliant. D. Last month the committee also directed staff to investigate opacity standards for emissions. The following state regulations pertain to all stationary sources, including restaurants: II.A.1. Except as provided in paragraphs 2 through 6 below, no owner or operator of a source shall allow or cause the emission into the atmosphere of any air pollutant which is in excess of 20% opacity. This standard is based on 24 consecutive opacity readings taken at 15-second intervals for six minutes. The approved reference test method for visible emissions measurement is EPA Method 9 (40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A (July, 1992)) in all subsections of Section Il. A and B of this regulation. 11.A.2. Intermittent Sources Except as provided in paragraphs 3 through 6 below, no owner or operator of an intermittent source shall allow or cause the emission into the atmosphere of any pollutant which is in excess of 20% opacity. If EPA Method 9 (40 CFR, Part 60, Appendix A (July, 1992)), a continuous emissions monitor, or other credible method is used and 24 consecutive opacity readings taken at 15-second intervals cannot be taken because such a source does not operate continuously for six minutes, the readings shall be taken at 15-second intervals during periods of operation until 24 readings have been made or for a period of thirty minutes, whichever is sooner, and the source shall be deemed in violation if the average opacity of such readings exceed 20%. The Colorado State Dept. of Health and Environment empowers the County Health Department to enforce this regulation. Budget Impact: none Staff recommends further consideration of the options outlined above and requests direction from the committee as to the preferred course of action. MEMORANDUM Community Development i To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph Date: 4-3-06 Subject: Sign Permit Fee Waiver Background: Mrs. Walsh's Garden is a private/non-profit garden located at the west end of Elkhorn Ave. at the western entrance to the downtown. This garden demonstrates the appropriate use of native plants and is an aesthetic enhancement to the downtown. They want to put up a sign, and they are requesting a fee waiver. Budget Impact: $75 Recommendation: approval Administration Memo To: Community Development Committee From: Randy Repola ~ Date: May 2,2006 Subject: Extension of Friends of Stanley Hall (FOSH) Agreement Background The Friends of Stanley Hall (FOSH) was established in 1997 to assist in raising funds for the restoration of Stanley Hall. In the spring of 2002, FOSH disbanded. On May 14, 2002, the Town of Estes Park entered into an agreement with the Friends if Stanley Hall to accept the proceeds of their fundraising. The agreement stipulated that the Town could use the funds for design and construction of a performing arts facility. The agreement gave the Town four years to determine feasibility of a performing arts facility and an additional three years to construct such facility. The Town is nearing completion of a feasibility study for a theatre at the Fairgrounds at Stanley Park. Thorn Associates is completing the construction estimate while AMS Planning & Research is doing the pro forma. Staff expects to have both the construction cost estimate and pro forma for the June Community Development Committee meeting. However, this timeline does not meet the requirements of the 2002 agreement with FOSH. Therefore, with the concurrence of Bennett Penn, signer of the 2002 agreement on behalf of FOSH, Town Attorney White has drafted an amendment to the 2002 agreement extending the dates for feasibility determination and construction both by one year. This will enable the Town to finalize its studies and then make a determination as to how it shall proceed relative to the performing arts facility. Budget There is no cost associated with the extension. Action Staff requests consideration of the FOSH agreement amendment.

The visitors center was built by the people of Estes Park to offer assistance to ourvisitors. The Ambassadors, along with the CVB staff, meet and greet over 200,000 people a year to answer qjestions and assist with directions. Many visistors ask for merchandise to be made available to them in visitor's center. It is the primary task for the Ambassadors and staff to direct the visitors to shop in the businesses in town. Occasionally a visitor will not be able to shop in town and would like to buy a post card or something with Estes Park's logo on it. As a convenience to the visitors, the center will provide a limited selection of merchandise for those requests. The items that can be sold in the center include post cards, calendars, Rocky Mountain Nature Association files that they have produced, and a small inventory of branded items. These branded items may include, mug, water bottle, travel coffee mug, ball cap, a child's toy, and packaged coffee. Addtionial items may be reqested by visitors, and may be added to the inventory with permission from the board. The procedure to display these items has been created to display the items while not offering a compulsive shopping environment. The post cards and calendars will be on a post card rack. The Nature Associations booklets will be on their custom display. The branded items will have one of each on display with a note that these items are available behind the counter. The visitors center will continue to sell stickets and items to local community benefits and fund raising events for the betterment of the community.
