Our two biggest request generators this early in the year are the Colorado.com campaign, and our own web site. 2. Visitors Guide Downloads - volume of visitor guide downloads from the CVB website are down 22% compared to the same period last year. 3. National Media - again, due to the responses to our ads on Colorado.com, our national advertising response level is double what it was a year ago at this time. 4. Internet Advertising - Our keyword campaigns on Google and Yahoo are running at a cost per click below $1.00. Our second campaign on Colorado.com is generating a click-through rate of 1.3% compared to an advertiser average of 0.20% 5. Program Planning - Many lodging properties are experiencing softness in early reservations. The committee has recommended that we add 2nd quarter Denver television (regional) and explore additional opportunities on Colorado,com (national) to compensate. The 2nd quarter television is in place, and we have added Colorado.com e-newsletter ads every month (both in-state and national) starting in April and running through August. These will be both text ads and display ads. 6. Inserts - Our May 3 newspaper insert is in production. This will be inserted to the Boulder Camera, Longmont Times-Call, Loveland Reporter-Herald, Greeley Tribune, Ft. Collins Coloradoan, and Cheyenne Eagle-Tribune and delivered to almost 200,000 Front Range households. 7. Other - Jazz Fest Poster is complete, online Jazz Fest ads are in the works.

First Quarter Visitors Center Traffic The center experienced an increase of approximately 29.5% in traffic over the first quarter last year. In 2008, we saw 16,797 people come through our doors, for an average of 189 people per day. This year, we had 21,734 visitors during our first quarter, an average of 246 people each day. January, February and March all were strong over last year, with each month showing significant increases in traffic over the previous year. 2. First Quarter Telephone Calls Visitor Services staff fielded 10.8% more telephone calls during the first quarter of 2009 over the same time period in 2008. The CVB received 3,538 calls Jan - Mar in 2008, an average of 40 calls per day, and in 2009 we fielded 3,920, for an average for 44 calls per day. PLEASE NOTE: Estimates for calls and visitors were used for the last two days in March in order to complete this report by the deadline. 3. Volunteer Ambassadors Currently the number of volunteer Ambassadors totals 72. We have recently added several new volunteers to the group, and have one more ready to begin training in April. We are always looking for new volunteers and will continue to seek new members to add to our ranks. This is a solid number with which to begin the season; we like to have at least 70 volunteers going into summer. 4. Estes Park 2007 Visitor Guide: Distribution from the Visitors Center During the first quarter of 2009, we have distributed 5,200 Visitor Guides through the Visitors Center. This distribution includes walk-in visitors, other town departments, area businesses, and conferences attended by Julie Nikolai. 5. Current and Upcoming Projects for Visitor Services â€¢ Hire seasonal staff (3.5 Vt equivalent) for the busy season â€¢ Getting ready for the shuttle season by becoming more involved in this process than in past years â€¢ Second Annual Training is scheduled for May 12 for seasonal staff and volunteer Ambassadors. This year, the session will be held in the Town Hall Board room and will be taped. We are looking forward to having this new tool in our "training tool box". â€¢ Working with Ambassador Officers to create a Volunteer Handbook â€¢ Lodging Tours are being organized and the dates this year are: May 5, 7,14,19 â€¢ Retail Tours will be organized soon. Scheduled dates for this year: June 2,4 1 Estes Park Senior Center MenD To: Community Development Committee - Trustees Levine, Eisenlauer and Miller From: Lori Mitchell, Senior Center Director CC: Jacquie Halbumt, Lowell Richardson, Betty Kilsdonk Date: April 2,2009 Re: O'Connor Pavilion Fee Waiver Request BACKGROUND: At the meeting of the March 5,2009 Community Development Committee, local resident Steve Laing requested a fee waiver for use ofthe O'Connor Picnic Pavilion by the Estes Park High School class of 1979 reunion slated for August 8,2009. At the request of Town Administrator Halburnt, staff researched information related to waivers of the rental fee for use of the site. A variety of public and private groups, individuals and agencies use the site for personal events, picnics, dinners and public events. Town of Estes Park facility rental policy requires alllessees pay the same fee of $225 with a $100 refundable security deposit. There is no tiered or discounted fee system for this site and no waivers have been granted to public or private groups using the site. To further clarify, other class reunions have rented the site, as well as many other groups not listed here: â€¢ Estes Park High School Class of 1976 (2006) â€¢ Platte Valley High School Class of 1997 (2007) â€¢ Estes Park High School Class of 1973 (2009) The site use policy is attached. BUDGET/COST: The use fee is $225, plus a $100 refundable security deposit. The fee pays for site maintenance such as bathroom cleaning, trash removal, and normal wear and tear, which would need to be absorbed from the budget if waived. ACTION: Since becoming a Town rental site in 2006, no fee waivers have been granted for the O'Connor Pavilion. Staff requests a recommendation from the Town Board regarding this issue. 1 2009 Rental Guidelines Estes Park Senior Center Estes Park Museum Fall River Hydroplant Picnic Grounds 220 Fourth Street 200 Fourth Street 1754 Fish Hatchery Road Estes Park, CO 80517 Estes Park, CO 80517 Estes Park, CO 80517 Scheduling Office: Nancy Matson, Program Coordinator 220 Fourth Street, Estes Park, CO 80517 970/577-3769 * 970/586-2996 * nmatson@estes.org The Senior Center, Museum and Fall River Hydroplant Picnic Grounds are Town of Estes Park (TOEP) facilities.

Glenwood Springs, CO Aspen, CO MEMORANDUM Community Development To: Community Development Committee From: Bob Joseph Cc: Jacquie Halbumt Date: 3-23-09 Subject: Sign Code: Banners Background: Last month the Committee directed staff to research revisions to the existing sign code that would allow banners. Our current code provisions prohibit banners of any kind. Estes Park has worked hard over the past 30yrs. to shed the image of a tacky tourist town. The prohibition of banners in the sign code plays a part in advancing that goal. Many communities allow banners as a temporary commercial sign. The attached table summarizes the current standards in several Colorado towns. Where not prohibited outright the typical allowance is for events lasting two weeks, not to exceed two or three events per year. Also, the banner size is typically capped at 32 to 36 square feet. All codes require a sign permit, most require evidence of the permit affixed to the banner to aid enforcement. Budget Impact : none. However, code enforcement demands will increase. Recommendation: If the committee wishes to pursue this issue, then staff will prepare a complete draft of the regulation for review by the Town Board. Staff will recommend the following features in a regulation for Estes Park: Banners should be limited in duration of use, not to exceed two - 14 day events per year. Banners should be limited in size: 24 s.f. downtown / 34 s.f. outlying 0 E 0. 00 a Â·cj- Crl <3 .1 --66 /0 #t Bit ain- - 0 gg 000(0 n v. m =f Cl g *im gg gpigg 0 r-N RE %90 el Ir' 8 01 5 4 4 - r--0 N A-919. - g!,co RE R N 80 232 Cr,_v 9302 0 8 0 0 -1 0 M 4-00" \O 00 en h n M. 09 09 7 01 0 N - 81 W ?S 0o 0 11 i # 1 -E -9 - & 2.2,00 01 0 12 - r- 00 AU %11 - U 0 U E. 0 0 'Il ii 8 6. 6- 22 0 22 O 2 & u mu /5 17% Intergovernmental (C ) 1 37,930 2,130 90 42,000 4 106% MONTH TO DATE YEAR TO DATE BUDGET vs. YTD Total Revenues 38,690 26,815 60,558 49,378 (11. 49,378 23,554 41) 66,987 44,314 2 317,255 44,314 9Lâ‚¬'ZI 50'EL 6L'Ll ( 1) 6LZ'9 @OUBIIOluBUN pue suOUU.Iad 069'95 IÂ£'06Â£ OI +60'83 069'95 *8L'*8 (6*8) Â£â‚¬8'62 asuadxa o Jugualmew pue uoueigdo Imol (Elâ‚¬.L) (Â£18'010 PI6'9I (ZIE'L) (LEE fE) 996'52 L58'8 (601'L[) soliurpuadxg 3,220 (10,770) 25,000 0 (2.485) 10,000 1,500 15% : FEB VAR VAR ratios 2008 2009 2009 moK que@ Jo louenb is I u! paA!00@1 Kitmoc) 41!A) loomosmqung[ VDI I sjOJ oseap[ ooluelenS ' 001 LIOJSUE.Il lwIuod SPIEI Kluno 01@unIe-1 'S@SIBIP snoouerpos,IN z OMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (101-1600) OW COMPARISON IJAO SanUOAOL JO KOUO!0!Jop/SS@Oxz[ 2009 vs. 2008 0 820 5%*tr; EgE - 2* Â¢1 3 r + REÂ° O/ $ M 8 8 5 0 9 1 8 95 -- I m g Ng 5 rn _ fg m f g g 0 00 - 0 --1 N 2 0 0 4 9 2 rt - - m 0 0 00 C. en 2 711 01 M 5-0 7/ E Eal Rmon R 00 0 LA In 92 3 3 00 0 h 0 08 220 00 0 or) rn =11 n- < 8 :% E Â·13 E 3 13 0 9 M 1 0=<3 22 8 Z 0 R* 4 4 8 MONTH TO DATE YEAR TO DATE YEAR TO DATE VAR VAR ratios YTD % of Bul~ Licenses and Pennits 16,965 19,887 2,921 (24.856) 99% 202,500 33,985 8Â£6'85 568'EZ (0Â£Â£'1) I6 I'6Z 098'93 asuodxa joueuoiumFY pue uoueiad 6t 9ZL'LVE (Â£18) 66I'9E IOUTIOSJOd (EbgrE) (Ltr' (LyÂ£' l) C OES (896'8) (86*'6) soinlIpuadxo Otherl 337 (61) (396) 17,363 20,223 2,860 C 1 91) 266'Z @ouuuoluIEW pue suo PROTECTIVE INSPECTIONS (101-2300) CASH FLOW ARISON asuad,3 Joueual IJAO SanUOAN JO KOUODUOP/SSJOXEI xul oSI'l - onuake.I agJ lopUOA~ 60,InlipuodxH 1) 12 5 a e m 32 a a.

By the middle of the 20th century, there were three major model codes in the United States. The Western portion of the United States recognized the "Uniform Codes" as their standards. The Town of Estes Park adopted its first Building Codes in the late 1940s, using the ' Uniform Codes."1 After more than a decade of work, at the end of the 20th century, the three model code organizations consolidated to create the International Code Council and to promulgate the International Codes as the universal standards to protect the public safety and welfare in the built environment. The 1973 edition of the Uniform Building Code (UBC) (adopted by the Town of Estes Park July 22, 1974) required a single, centrally located smoke alarm in homes.2 The 1979 edition of the UBC (adopted by the Town December 11, 1979) added the hardwire requirement and the retroactive requirement for work exceeding a valuation of $1,000.3 The 1988 edition of the UBC added a requirement for at least one smoke alarm on each floor of homes.4 The 1991 UBC (adopted by the Town July 14, 1992) added the requirement for smoke alarms in every sleeping room in addition to the one in a central location of each story.5 The 2003 IRC (adopted by the Town December 14, 2004) 6 added a requirement for smoke alarms in the immediate vicinity outside all bedroom areas. In December 2004, the Town Board adopted the 2003 International Residential Code with local amendments, with an effective date of January 1, 2005 (Ordinance no. 7-04).7 The International Residential Code (IRC) is adopted as a minimum life safety standard for issues to which it applies. Section R313.1 of the International Residential Code regulates smoke alarms in structures governed by the IRC. Section R313.1 was amended to achieve consistency with Larimer County and to address issues identified during work sessions and public hearings which were facilitated as part of the codes adoption process.8 The local amendment changed verbiage from the original text; but, it did not change the scoping or technical requirements for smoke alarms, other than the requirement for lithium batteries. As a result of public discussion, Fire Chief Dorman recommended lithium batteries to achieve greater reliability of the smoke alarms; and, the Town Board directed staff to provide additional language to clarify hardwire and interconnection of new smoke alarms would not be 9 required unless the project was of significant scope to make it a reasonable application. During discussions of section R313.1 of the IRC, staff identified it as having a significant change from 10 previous code editions. The significant change in the 2003 IRC, from previous code editions, is the deletion of the requirement for permitted projects to exceed a valuation of $1,000 before the retroactive provision is applicable. The retroactive provision for smoke alarms and the $1,000 valuation have been included in Building Codes adopted by the Town of Estes Park since the 1979 edition of the of the Uniform Building Code. Accounting for inflation, the $1000 requirement did not seem applicable in the 2003 IRC; and, it was deleted in the original text. The significance of the change in the 2003 IRC (deletion of the $1,000 requirement) is the application of the retroactive smoke alarm requirement to the replacement of plumbing and mechanical appliances 11 such as water heaters, furnaces, boilers, etc. Chapter 2 of the IRC provides definitions to aid interpretations and applications of the code.12 The definition of alteration is: "Any construction or renovation to an existing structure other than repair or addition that requires a permit. Also, a change in a mechanical system that involves an extension, addition or change to the arrangement, type or purpose of the original installation that requires a permit." The definition of repair is: "The reconstruction or renewal of any part of an existing building for the purpose of its maintenance." Given these two definitions and the deletion of the $1,000 requirement, the significance that was highlighted for the Town Board that approved this code section with local amendment, is its 13 application to all projects requiring a permit. Under current code, the applicatiod is limited only by the necessity of the inspector to access the interior of the building to provide proper inspection of work requiring a permit. 14 The 2003 International Residential Code Commentary, on section R313, states, "Of all of the provisions for safety features that have been placed within the code over the past few decades, the provisions of these detection and alarm devices have probably provided the greatest benefit in increased safety when compared to their minor expense." The code considers it reasonable to make the requirements for smoke alarms retroactive in existing homes; and, it recognizes this retroactive requirement as being unique to the code. The validity of reasonableness of this code requirement is well-documented by fire statistics, such as those made available by NFPA in January 2009.15 Nonetheless, staff does recognize this is a controversial issue; and, it will be discussed and brought before the Town Board at a public hearing, during the adoption process of the 2009 International Codes. The 2006 IRC16 which Larimer County has adopted without amendment17 and the 2009 IRC18, which staff is proposing the Town adopt, have not revised the scoping or technical provisions of section R313. 19,20 iLl Received Date Towim of Estes Park permit Number 1%46 Received By Appileati@Im for Miscellaneous Permit Appnication Expires Department of Building Safety 170 MacÂ©regor Avenue P.O.

Forty-five percent of the reported home fires (36% in one- or two-family dwellings and 65% in apartments) were confined or contained fires. As discussed earlier, Version 5.0 of NFIRS introduced shorter reporting for cooking fires confined to the vessel, fires confined to chimney or flues, to incinerators, to fuel burners or boilers, and contained trash or rubbish fires with no flame damage to the structure. In addition to the 45% of home fires with incident types indicating contained or confined fires, Table 11 shows that flame damage was confined to the object of origin in another 16% of reported home structure fires. Only 23% spread beyond the room of origin. Seventy-seven percent of home fire deaths resulted from fires that extended beyond the room of origin. This scenario was more common in one one-and two-family dwellings where 80% of the fire deaths resulted from fires extending beyond the room of origin compared to 62% of the fire deaths in apartments. 63% of home fire deaths occurred in properties without working smoke alarms. Figure 13 shows that smoke alarms operated in 52% of the reported home fires. Almost two- thirds (63%) ofthe home fire deaths resulted from fires with no working smoke alarms, including homes with no smoke alarms at all. Based on a telephone survey done in 2008,96% of all homes have at least one smoke alarm. 1 Figure 13.
