Last year we totally reproduced Santa Claus for $12,015 using the local sign company, Signs of Life. He did an excellent job! Budget: $20,000 Action: Staff is requesting permission to contact Signs of Life and get a price to totally replace the Santa Card Shop display. BG/mjs TOWN of ESTES PARK Inter-Office Memorandum May 12, 2006 TO: Utilities Committee A FROM: Bill Linnane (/,9#- SUBJECT: Habitat for Humanity - 671 Halbach Lane Request Approval for Water Tap Fee Waiver Background: Habitat for Humanity is requesting a single-family residential water tap fee waiver for 671 Halbach Lane. See attached letter dated April 14, 2006 from Wendall Amos, Director. Last year the committee did approve a similar request for 654 Halbach Lane. Habitat agrees to repay the tap fee should the property be sold on the open market prior to the passage of 10 years. They also agree to comply with all Town ordinances, codes, and other Town requirements. The cost of the tap fee is $7,600. (Water Fund reimbursed from the General Fund) Cost/Budget: N/A Action: Staff recommends the tap fee waiver. BG/mjs 1-1 19 April 14, 2006 Bill Linnane, Director Public Works Department Town of Estes Park P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Bill, During the month of May of this year, Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, Inc. will be applying for a building permit for Habitat's affordable home number eleven, to be located at 671 Halbach Lane, also known as Lot 1 of the Habitat subdivision. Habitat is requesting the Department of Public Works to recommend granting a waiver of the cost of a water tap for this home. This waiver together with the financial support by the Town Board of Trustees help us substantially in making our homes affordable. As Habitat has complied in the past, the requirements for this waiver by the Town of Estes Park will be stated in the mortgage for home number eleven. Thank you for your assistance. .l42,a.Â£11 (7.5-#41 I Wendell Amos, Director Habitat for Humanity of Estes Valley, In Administration Memo To: Light & Power Committee From: Randy Repola Date: May 17, 2006 Subject: Transfer of Ownership of Charter Communications to Orange Broadband Background Charter Communications has notified the Town that it intends to sell its local cable operation to Orange Broadband. The Town must approve transfer of the current franchise agreement issued by the Town. The existing agreement is set to expire in 2008. Town Attorney Greg White and I have discussed the pending transfer with representatives of both organizations. Mr. White is reviewing the resolution language for submission to the Town Board of Trustees for consideration and approval. The Town does have first right of refusal on the sale; however, based upon proprietary information that has been shared with the Town by Charter and recently enacted legislation in Colorado, staff recommends against exercising our first right of refusal. The issues involved include the cost to purchase the local operation (several million dollars) as well as Colorado law which requires voter approval for a municipality to operate a retail cable operation. Orange Broadband is requesting a three-year extension of the existing permit. For consideration of that extension, staff has asked that Orange Broadband provide coverage of our regular board meetings as well as Planning Commission should we elect to televise those too. If the committee recommends approval of this transfer, it will be on the next Town Board meeting as an action item. Budget There are no budget implications. Action Staff requests approval of the transfer of the existing cable television franchise agreement from Charter Communications to Orange Broadband.
