Definitions. As used in this article, unless the context otherwise requires: (1) "Hazardous substance" means any substance, material, waste, or mixture designated as a hazardous material, waste, or substance according to 49 Code of Federal Regulations Part 172, as amended, or by section 18-13-112 (2) (b), C.R.S., or as designated pursuant to the federal "Compre- hensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980" (PL 96-510) as in effect July 1,1983. (2) (a) "Hazardous substance incident" means any emergency circum- stance involving the sudden discharge of a hazardous substance which, in the judgment of an emergency response authority, threatens immediate and irreparable harm to the environment or the health and safety of any individual other than individuals exposed to the risks associated with hazardous sub- stances in the normal course of their employment. "Hazardous substance incident" includes those incidents of spilling, dumping, or abandonment of a hazardous substance, whether or not such spilling, dumping, or abandon- ment is found to threaten immediate and irreparable harm, but such term does not include any discharge of a hazardous substance authorized pursuant to any federal, state, or local law or regulation. (b) As used in this section, "abandonment" means the act of leaving a thing with the intent not to retain possession of or assert ownership or control over it. The intent need not coincide with the act of leaving. (3) "Person" means any individual, public or private corporation, partner- ship, association, firm, trust, or estate, the state or any department, institu- tion, or agency thereof, any municipal corporation, county, city and county, or other political subdivision of the state, or any other legal entity whatsoever which is recognized by law as the subject of rights and duties. (4) "Private property" means any property under the control, manage- ment, or operation of any person other than a governmental agency. Source: R & RE, L. 83, p. 1216, Â§ 1. 29-22-102.

Fire Station Planning Study: The 1994 Budget includes funds for a planning study to relocate the fire station to a less congested area. Roger Thorp, Thorp & Assoc., has been asked to perform this study and will meet with representatives of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department and the Loveland Fire Department to discuss potential project sites, schematic design work, and preliminary cost estimates. All work under this contract is to be completed prior to finalization of the 1995 Budget. The Committee recommends approval of the contract with Thorp & Assoc., not-to- exceed $10,000, to conduct a study for the relocation of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Department. Prior to completion of the study, possible inclusion of relocating the Police Department is to be determined. POLICE DEPARTMENT Underage Drinking Ordinance Sentencing Provision: When the Committee recommended the Underage Drinking Ordinance, a stipulation was included that the subject of sentencing be discussed at a later date. Correspondence was received from Municipal Court Judge Brown stating the Municipal Judge has authority to administer penalties, which may include up to 90 days incarceration and/or a maximum$300.00 fine plus possible community service, classes or treatment counseling at the expense of the defendant; however, the driver's license forfeiture is mandatory under the terms of the ordinance. The Committee recommends Ordinance #29-93 remain as approved, with review of the driver's license forfeiture/sentencing provision after one year. Court Costs - Ordinance: Assessing Municipal Court costs is a measure to avoid taxpayer liability and must be approved through ordinance by the Board of Trustees. It is recommended the costs for defendants who enter guilty pleas or are found guilty after trial be $15.00 and costs for any deferred sentence agreement or Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, ~ Â¤arqh 22 19* 94.

Pursuant to~ additional research, Administrator Klaphake suggested the "Fire Lane Signage" recommendation for the alleyway north of 1 Estes Silver and Gold be referred back to the Public Safety \ Committee. Fire Lane standards require a 20' minimum width j with appropriate clearances; as the alleyway in question does not meet the minimum standards, it cannot be designated as a Fire Lane. An ownership question on the alleyway has also arisen. Therefore, it was moved and seconded (Hix/Habecker) the minutes be approved with the deletion of the Fire Lane Signage discussion/recommendation, referring same back to the Public Safety Committee, requesting Public Works Director / Linnane review the plat and define the Town's ownership, reporting this information to the Public Safety Committee. The next Committee meeting is scheduled April 21 at 8:30 A.M. If this information is available it will be addressed at that / time. MI A. Fire Station Planning Study - Approval of $10.000 Budget Expenditure. The Committee recommended approval of a study to be performed by Thorp and Associates to research possible relocation of the fire station to a less congested area. The study is to be completed prior to finalization of the 1995 Budget. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Habecker) the contract, not-to-exceed $10,000 with Tharp and Associates be approved, and it passed unanimously. B. Ordinance #5-94 Municipal court Assessments. The Committee also recommended approval of an ordinance amending municipal court assessments as follows: costs for defendants who enter guilty pleas or are found guilty after trial be $15.00 and costs for any deferred sentence agreement or deferred prosecution agreement be $75.00. Current court costs are $5.00. The increase in fees relates to processing necessary to administer the required deferred sentence agreement between the Town and the defendant. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Habecker) the Ordinance be approved, and it passed unanimously. Whereupon Mayor Dannels declared the ordinance duly passed and adopted, ordered it numbered 5-94 and published according to law. SUBJECT: Alley behind Happy Texan, Top of the Park, etc. BACKGROUND: This had once been posted a "Fire Lane". We find this does not meet the standards necessary for "Fire Lane" designation. Merchants having private parking accessed by this alley are often blocked in, or out, by delivery trucks or persons improperly parking in the alley. Although not meeting the standards of a "Fire Lane", access via this alley is crucial should there be a fire. Delivery to businesses is possible via existing loading zones. OFI'IONS: 1.
