Visitors Guide Downloads up 19% (37,136) to 228,072 in 2007. 3. Magazine Advertising responses down 12.6% due to specific Readership Service problems in March/April issues with two major publications. 4. Internet Advertising Colorado.com, Denver Newspaper Agency, Channel 4, Channel 9 web sites all performed between 4 and 8 times higher than their own average click through rates. 5. Web Site Performance - see attached User Activity Page View Comparison. 6. WATS Line Calls - with 2005 and 2006 being almost identical with the lowest call counts, 2007 finally saw an increase in incoming calls of 6.34% (994 calls) over 2006. 7. 2007 Conversion Study - see attached Summary. ACTION ITEM: None BACKGROUND: N/A BUDGET/COST: N/A RECOMMENDATION: NA 1 2007 Magazine Ad Conversion Study Notes from the Executive Summary 1/11/08 pwm 1. Overall conversion was 61% down slightly from 63% last year, but up from the 58 to 59% in the 2003,2004 study periods. 2. Conversion among website respondents was 76%, down from 82% last year, but consistent with the prior two years). Note the implications below. 3. Conversion among magazine respondents, without factoring in their web based component was 22% 4. Combined conversion among magazine respondents including their web based component was 61% as mentioned in point # 1 5. 63% of inquirers had definitely decided to visit Estes Park (up from 61% last year) before requesting the Visitors Guide. 6. But, ofthose requesting a guide on-line, 76 % had already decided to visit Estes Park. "This suggests that volumes of online requests might be an accurate prediction of future visitation patterns; in other words, the Town could utilize the volume of on-line requests as a forecast ofprojected visitor volumes for the summer season." 7. Compared to on-line inquirers, magazine ad respondents had not definitely decided to visit Estes Park. Ofthe magazine inquirers, 28% were "considering a trip to or through Colorado, another 21% had "definitely decided to take a trip to, or through, Colorado (but not necessarily to Estes Park). "This indicates that magazine inquirers have certainly not made up their minds about whether to visit Estes Park, and the Visitors Guide must be compelling enough to convince them to include Estes Park in their Colorado travel plans." This group also represents a new market opportunity for Estes Park. 8. The segment next most likely to visit after the on-line inquirers who had definitely decided to visit Estes Park, are those who said they had decided to take a trip to or through Colorado (though not Estes Park). Overall, 51% of this segment ended up visiting Estes Park. Thus, the Visitors Guide was successful in convincing this segment to add Estes Park to their Colorado itinerary. 9. Overall expenditures averaged $1,156 per party which compares to $1,058 per party last year. 10. Average party size was 3.5, average number of nights was 3.9, both similar to 2006. 11. 57% said Estes Park was the primary destination (on-line 59%, magazine 39%). 12. Overall satisfaction was high with 72% rating a 5 out of 5. 13. Ofnon-visitors, 35% planned to visit later in 2007 while 24% have a definite trip planned later in 2007. 14. Overall, the average rating for likelihood of visiting in the next two years among those who did not visit in 2007 was 4 out of 5.34% said they "definitely" will visit. 37% said they "probably" will visit, 25% said they "may" visit.

Our statistical program through 2007 was Live Stats, which uses web logs to count hits, views, visits, etc. Live Stats is no longer available, so for 2008 and forward, RTP will be using Google Analytics instead. Google Analytics uses Page Tagging instead o f Web Logs for their counts. Web Logs count search engine spiders, and robots, Page Tagging does not. This will result in hard counts that are approximately 60% of what we are used to seeing. To make this transition easier, historical percentage increases will be used during 2008.

Visitor Center Traffic The Visitors Center saw a total of 276,040 visitors in 2007 and 232,169 in 2006. This equals 43,871 more people last year than in 2006, representing a nearly 19% increase in people through the center. 2. Telephone Calls The total number of telephone calls received in 2007 equals 24,355 and we fielded 22,318 calls in 2006. This represents a 9% increase in calls over the previous year. 3. The Visitors Center Volunteers: The Ambassadors of Estes ParkÂ® The volunteer Ambassadors at the Visitors Center gave the town 5,951 hours of time in 2007. This equates to nearly three full-time staff and is similar to the number of hours given last year (5,784). The Ambassadors of Estes ParkÂ® organization currently has 70 members. The Ambassadors assist visitors at the front counter daily from mid-May through at least the first week in October (through the week after Elk Fest), and on weekends only during the rest of the year. 4. Monthly Ambassador Meetings The Ambassadors meet the second Tuesday of every month. All meetings are attended by the Visitor Services Manager and occasionally by other CVB staff as well. These luncheon meetings allow the Ambassadors and CVB staff to experience different restaurants in the Estes Park area. Additionally, an educational program is presented each month by different organizations, groups and town departments. In 2007 presentations were made by Rocky Mountain National Park, the US Forest Service, the CO Division of Wildlife, Volunteers of America, the YMCA, the EP Museum, the Stanley Museum, CVB staff, plus some businesses and attractions in the EP area. 5.

In 2006, the cabin had a total of 6,887 visitors and was open 57 days, an average of 121 people per day. This represents a 19.5% decrease in visitation at the cabin in 2007 over 2006. 1 7. CVB Complaint process , The CVB complaint process, designed to address strained issues that may arise between a visitor and an EP business, received 16 complaints this year; 13 against lodging establishments, 1 against an area attraction, 1 agairist a retailer, and 1 against a service provider. This was the first year the CVB received three complaints against the same business in a twelve month period. When this occurs, CVB policy directs us to invite the business owner to come before the CVB Policy Board, where the issues surrounding the complaints are discussed. The board then determines the appropriate action(s) to take, based on the specific circumstances related to the issues and what is learned in that meeting. 8. Retail Sales at the Visitors Center In 2007, CVB retail sales totaled $43,554. The year before, retail sales were just under $39,300. This increase of $4,254 represents a nearly 11% boost in sales.

All indications for lodging in Estes Park, as well as throughout the state of Colorado were good. Estes Park hotel occupandes have surpassed all numbers (dating back to 1999) hitting a 53% occupancy. These numbers are based on records through the Rocky Mountain Lodging Report. (see attachment) Five months of 2007 experienced a slight decrease in occupancy, while seven experienced growth. A second component of the lodging trends is the ADR (Average Daily Rate), which also experienced a 7% growth. When both lodging rates increase and room occupancies increase, this indicates a strong economy for our community. The CVB group sales department continues to track both group leads and referrals. Comparing group data for the past three years, the reports show that more groups are in contact with the CVB than ever. In each market segment: Meetings, Reunions, Weddings and Tours, referrals have gained significant ground, with an overall 35% increase over 2006 statistics. Group leads, however, experienced a 25% decrease in 2007. This consistent trend may be attributed to many reasons, one of the most significant being that our website and personal assistance from staff and volunteers both offer so much more information than in the past. With more people using the internet for travel research, they are able to find what they need on line. The second reason is that when asked, less people are willing to agree to give out their email address, which is requested for a lead to be generated. In 2007, the most significant growth experienced in any of our four group markets was the reunion market. Both leads and referrals increased in this area. The largest decrease was in wedding leads, however the market is strong and we experienced a significant increase in wedding referrals. In other areas of marketing, the CVB participated in two wedding shows, with three shows slated for 2008. In June, we hosted one fam tour for the international travel market in conjunction with the CTO for tour planners from the United Kingdom. Estes Park is represented at three tour operator trade shows (NTA, ABA and SYTA) through our membership with Tour Colorado. Other memberships maintained by the group sales department include Estes Area Lodging Association, Estes Park Wedding Association, Colorado Society of Association Executives, Destination Colorado, Rocky Mountain Chapter of Professional Convention Meetings Association and as the staff liaison for the Democratic National Convention. The new group sales literature was completed recently and is being distributed by mail to all inquiries, as well as being handed out at trade shows and to all group planners that stop by the Visitor Center. A sample copy is included with this email, as well as a group grid. A 'market specific' grid would be inserted with the literature based on their interest. A reunion grid is enclosed in your sample copy. 1 Estes Park Hotel Occupancies 1999-2007 Month 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 January 20% 21% 17% 16% 18.0% 17.1% 18.9% 20.0% 25.8% February 30% 28% 31% 28% 19.2% 23.2% 28.7% 31.8% 25.1% March 21% 29% 36% 31% 23.4% 25.4% 20.3% 26.7% 32.1% April 37% 23% 26% 25% 21.7% 22.0% 18.6% 20.9% 31.8% May 42% 46% 37% 47% 37.9% 41.5% 34.8% 48.5% 46.9% June 76% 78% 72% 67% 63.4% 65.9% 71.2% 79.9% 75.0% July 90% 95% 85% 82% 81.0% 81.1% 88.5% 91.0% 94.5% August 87% 84% 78% 72% 72.2% 71.8% 80.4% 83.9% 85.3% September 80% 79% 70% 68% 64.3% 67.8% 80.0% 83.7% 83.1% October 53% 49% 429/6 43% 46.3% 44.1% 45.9% 59.6% 54.5% November 26% 28% 31% 24% 24.1% 25.6% 32.1% 34.6% 34.8% December 18% 25% 23% 19% 19.1% 23.9% 23.9% 23.2% 26.0% Totals 48.3% 49.3% 47.1% 44.5% 46.2% 44.2% 44.4% 51.8% 53.0% Estes Park Average Hotel Rate 1999-2007 Month 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 January $84.72 $97.17 $88.08 $86.44 $84.69 $ 93.31 $88.54 $96.80 $104.17 February $93.89 $93.99 $98.26 $82.69 $107.30 $ 93.52 $94.69 $96.33 $111.88 March $85.96 $97.71 $88.99 $79.73 $81.76 $ 81.84 $91.64 $97.92 $108.57 April $90.72 $94.25 $81.55 $90.56 $86.75 $ 89.83 $97.57 $104.55 $107.31 May $84.17 $100.84 $97.06 $135.40 $102.44 $103.74 $112.07 $113.42 $128.52 June $125.71 $124.20 $131.00 $132.39 $135.62 $133.16 $140.02 $141.01 $161.97 July $147.57 $143.73 $152.93 $149.34 $152.53 $157.28 $168.24 $171.01 $182.03 August $126.27 $125.51 $145.47 $143.80 $140.06 $145.66 $147.51 $155.02 $154.87 September $111.12 $121.18 $114.64 $113.15 $129.99 $129.26 $131.03 $142.71 $153.31 October $94.52 $99.79 $113.95 $104.87 $112.46 $128.47 $110.77 $138.55 $131.80 November $96.11 $95.91 $103.08 $91.14 $87.03 $115.39 $106.82 $108.73 $112.21 December $109.55 $89.50 $111.33 $96.84 $94.00 $102.24 $113.54 $123.03 $121.38 Totals $104.19 $106.98 $112.89 $122.64 $125.72 $127.31 $128.62 $137.14 $144.52 Statistics provided by Rocky Mountain Lodging Report, reprinted by the Estes Park CVB's Group Sales & Marketing Department. + 26 20 A 2-T O 0 4 - -..

Postcards from Lodges Past with Bobbie Heisterkamp. A look inside the lodges in and around the National Park through the eyes of a tourist from the early 1900s. Many of these hotels no longer exist, but via photographs and postcards we can glimpse their eclectic interiors including rustic wood furniture and interesting fixtures. Ms. Heisterkamp, an authority on local postcards, has assisted the Museum with cataloguing its own postcard collection. Free. Sponsored by the Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation. New Programming Grant The Estes Park Public Library Foundation, in cooperation with the Estes Park Museum, has received a $3000 grant from Xcel Energy to present a Public Forum Series entitled, "Colorado: From Mexican Frontier to Kansas Territory; From Kansas Territory to Statehood and Beyond." The initial program in the series, "Traders, Soldiers and Indians: The Road to Santa Fe," occurred on February 1. All programs are free and will be presented at the Estes Park Museum. The next program in the series, The Irish in Colorado, will be presented by Dr. James P. Walsh on February 16 at 7 PM. The program examines the lives of mid-nineteenth Irish immigrants in Colorado. Driven from Ireland by the Great Famine, they moved to the East Coast, only to encounter discrimination. In search of work, they moved to the West, mining in Leadville and helping build the transcontinental railroad into Utah. Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation Update The Estes Park Museum Friends & Foundation held an all-day, facilitated retreat on January 12. Discussed was a possible new mission statement, clarifying their function as a support organization which adds capacity, increased awareness, and resources to enhance the ability of the Museum to achieve its mission. Three members of the former Museum Advisory Board, Nancy Schiaffo, Mike Oline, and Bob Hamblin, were added to the Friends Board and will be part of the new Museum Advisory Committee. Trustee Liaison Chuck Levine attended an orientation with them at which we provided grounding in the new committee's purpose. In the coming months the Friends Board will further discuss the new Advisory Committee and add it to their by-laws.

This includes 1644 visitors to the Fall River Hydroplant, open June-August. Total attendance increased approximately 12% over 2006. Programs/Tours Seventy-four programs or tours were offered in 2007 with a total of 7,588 participants (induding 3500 for the Coolest Car Show). Highlights included Dr. Justina Ford, MD by Opalanga Pugh, Tales and Tunes of the American Hobo with Chris Kennedy and the Poudre Canyon Ghost Town Tour with Ken Jessen. Private programs and tours were offer upon request and induded #'s Electrifying, presented to the Estes Park third grade classes, and tours of the Museum and the Hydroplant for Fort Collins Boy Scouts, Legacy Academy, Erie Senior Center and others.

Exhibits Monteverde, Our Sister C#y explored the history of Monteverde, Costa Rica, what it is like today, and its relationship to Estes Park since they became Sister Cities in 2004. Estes Park's Vo/unteer Fire Depanment The First 100 Years traced the technological improvements and diversification of responsibilities in the department's first century. L. Lawrence Lubeck's Rocky Mountains was a one-man show of large-scale plein air oil paintings completed by the Chicago artist between 1980 and 1995. Herb Thomson Remembered was a retrospective of the respected watercolorist who passed away in 2001. Collections In September the annual Archives in the Park Class took place with graduate students from Emporia State University's School of Library and Information Management. Over a week the students processed and scanned 31 of the Museum's extensive postcard collection. Also in September, the Museum held a Preservation Roadshow for the public with conservator Randy Silverman. Community members learned about how to preserve their , heirlooms, brought historical objects to our attention (such as never before seen photographs), and were encouraged to make donations; the Museum obtained Charles Edwin Hewes' walking stick in this manner. In December, local history enthusiasts and the Town's Historian Laureate examined hundreds of photos of Estes Park's downtown. They developed a template for identifying key changes in the town, forming a basis for quickly and correctly dating streetscape photographs in the collection. During 2007 there were 69 accessions totaling 523 objects (see attached list). Research In celebration of Estes Park's 90"l anniversary, Museum staff successfully completed an oral history research project, "Estes Park: A Study of Growth,"' funded by the Town of Estes Park and the Colorado Humanities. The project included ten filmed interviews and two public panels. Staff handled 67 research requests requiring 40 hours. Maps, photos of individuals or places, information on artists, other individuals or events, the origin of place names, and caring for antiques were among the most popular topics.

Chuck had asked for a summary of revenues and expenses for the picnic shelter after one year of operation. For comparison, we also include data on the other two locations. O'CONNOR PICNIC SHELTER The O'Connor Picnic Grounds had 13 rentals in 2007, with 737 users. No-fee uses included one TOEP meeting held at the site, and four groups of hunters totaling 46 people using the grounds (not necessarily the shelter). The Picnic Shelter rental fee was initially $100/day, based on a small survey of similar facilities. Midway through last season we raised it to $225.00/day to meet expenses. Picnic Shelter Revenues Budget Actual Rentals $3000.00 $1395.00 Expenditures Cleaning $1200.00 $ 880.00 Trash Removal $1000.00 $ 316.71 Total $2200.00 $1196.71 Net (Revenues - Expenses) $ 800.00 $ 198.29 ESTES PARK SENIOR CENTER In 2007 the Senior Center was rented 12 times, with 721 users. TOEP departments and TOEP-affiliated groups used it at no fee 15 times (totaling 249 people). Not included here are dozens of in-house programs and meetings. Senior Center Revenues Budget Actual Rentals $2600.00 $3453.53 ESTES PARK MUSEUM MEETING ROOM In 2007 the Museum Meeting Room was rented 12 times (totaling 597 participants) and was used 24 times by no- fee groups (totaling 626 participants), in addition to in-house meetings and programs.

' January 30th, 2008 Estes Park Community Development Committee RE: Request for waiver of annexation fees for the Kundtz Addition to the Town of Estes Park This letter is written as a request by Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc. *fHEV) for a waiver o f the annexation fees for the Kundtz Addition to the Town of Estes Park. HfHEV has worked for the past 12 years to provide decent, affordable housing for residents o f the Estes Valley. In the past, the Town Board has recognized the community service provided by affordable housing and has assisted in this effort by waiving development fees for HfHEV and other affordable developments. HfHEV requests this waiver for the Kundtz Addition in consideration ofthe need for affordable housing in the Estes Valley and in consideration of the costs incurred by such governmental fees. In a project of this scale, HfHEV would anticipate governmental development fees to run between 10 to 15% of the development costs. HfHEV appreciates your hearing of this request to help assist in the creation of affordable housing in the Estes Valley.

The Early Childhood Council provided additional financial support and technical assistance. In 2007 the Town grant was reduced to $28,500. We had some carryover scholarship funds plus continued assistance from the early Childhood Council. For 2008 we will be providing services under the following tight financial constraints: Town grant: $28,000 Scholarship Fund grant: 2,000 Local Grant: 500 Local carryover from 2007: 900 $31,400 Coordinator salary and benefits: $16,620 Rent: 3,900 Utilities: 700 Supplies and other operating expenses: 1,400 Provider training: 350 Insurance: 745 Scholarships: 7,000 $30,715 EVICS is anticipating some carryover from 2007 from the Early Childhood Council plus ECC has agreed to pay our phone and mileage expenses and whatever additional support their budget might allow in 2008. The scholarship fund needs to be much larger and EVICS has applied for a Rotary grant and hopes to raise additional funds through local fundraising. Additional items EVICS should fund if revenue allows include child care provider recognition, coordinator education, marketing, and potential equipment needs. /T1I Colorado 1 Af*&4,01 -7 - Network A Brief Fact Sheet on Afterschool Afterschoot in Colorado: â€¢ In Colorado, 33% of K-12 youth are responsible for taking care of themselves (AfterSchool Alliance, "America After 3pm ", 2004) â€¢ 77% of children from single-parent households have a parent who works (2000 U.S. Census) â€¢ 95% ofparents in Colorado are extremely or somewhat satisfied with the afterschool program their child attends (AfterSchool Alliance, "America After 3pm ", 2004) â€¢ Parents of non-participants believe that their children would benefit most from afterschool programs in the following ways: by having fun, improved physical activity, academic enrichment, by staying safe and out of trouble, and improved social skills (AfterSchool Alliance, "America After 3pm ", 2004) â€¢ Nearly 12,453 of Colorado's kids are counting on the programs supported by the U.S. Department of Education's 21st Century Community Learning Centers initiative, the only federal program dedicated to afterschool. However, if the program were fully funded under the No Child Left Behind Act, Colorado would be able to provide after school programming to nearly 25,000 children. (AfterSchool Alliance, "America After 3pm ", 2004) Afterschool Nationally â€¢ Only 11 percent of the nation's K-12 youth are in afterschool programs. (AfterSchool Alliance, "America A#er 3pm '; 2004) Nine in ten parents (90%) who say they are not home in the afternoon when their children return from school describe afterschool programs as an absolute necessity (AfterSchool Alliance, 2002) â€¢ Ninety-one percent of parents of children in afterschool programs are extremely or somewhat satisfied with those programs. (AfterSchool Alliance, "America After 3pm ", 2004) â€¢ Teens who do not participate in afterschool programs are nearly three times more likely to skip classes than teens who do participate. They are also three times more likely to use marijuana or other drugs, and they are more likely to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and engage in sexual activity. (YMCA ofthe USA, March 2001) â€¢ Students who participate in extracurricular activities have better grades, feel greater attachment to school, have lower truancy rates and reach higher levels of achievement in college, as documented by a 17-year study that followed 1,800 sixth-graders in ten Michigan schools through high school and college. C'Extra Benefits Tied to Extracurriculars, " Education Week, October 2000) â€¢ Adolescents who spend time in communities that are rich in developmental opportunities for them experience less risk and show evidence of higher rates of positive development (National Research Council, 2002) â€¢ In rural areas, experts estimate that the availability of school-age care can only cover approx. one- third of the population of children with employed parents.
