Town Board minutes dated August 10, 1993. 2. Bills. 3. Committee Minutes: A. Light and, Power, August 12, 1993. B. Planning Commission, August 17, 1993 (acknowledgement only).

Little Prospect Mountain Addition. Gary Murphy/Applicant. Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing. Director Stamey reviewed the proposal for Lot 1 as a single-family lot and Lots 2 and ' 3 being developed for duplex lots. All Planning Commission conditions had been met and the attorney's letter received. Staff reported that an adjacent property owner expressed concern with traffic circulation relative to Prospect Avenue, Highway, and the Moccasin Bypass. Realignment of the area, which could include Prospect Avenue and Comanche Street, is a much larger project than this subdivision and could require land acquisition. Administrator Klaphake reported that the r Board of Trustees - August 24, 1993 - Page 2 Town is not financially prepared to discuss potential improvement I of the traffic circulation until perhaps 1995/96. Applicant's representative, Bill Murphy, advised that the owner is discussing duplex development with an architect and requested confirmation of the potential impact to the owner. Town Attorney White advised ~ that the Town would have the ability to acquire the land through negotiations with the landowner--condemnation is rarely used. As , the street alignment project is speculative at this time, restrictions would not be placed on this subdivision plat. Attorney White clarified that if condemnation were used, the property owner is justly compensated. Planning Commission Chairman Sager commented that he was unaware of such traffic circulation discussions and he so advised the adjacent property owner. There being no further testimony, Mayor Dannels closed the public hearing. It was moved and seconded (Habecker/Doylen) the Final Plat of Murphy Subdivision be approved and it passed unanimously. Administrator Klaphake will schedule a meeting with Directors Linnane and Stamey and Gary Murphy (property owner) to further discuss the traffic circulation issue. , B. Amended Plat of Lots 1 and 2. Pine River Subdivision. Alan & Judith Kob/Applicant. Mayor ProTem Hix declared a conflict of interest and stated he would not participate in discussion nor vote. Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing. Director Stamey reported that the Applicant is proposing to combine two existing lots into one lot, and that all Planning Commission conditions had been met. There being no further testimony, Mayor Dannels closed the public hearing. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Gillette) the Amended Plat of Lots 1 and 2, Pine River Subdivision be approved, and it passed unanimously, with Mayor ProTem Hix Abstaining. C. Amended Plat of Lots 1. 2. 3 and 4. Ouasebarth Subdivision. William & Vivianne Watson/Applicant. Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing. Community Development Director Stamey advised that the Applicant is proposing to combine four lots into one lot, and that the plat is complete. There being no further testimony, Mayor Dannels declared the public hearing closed. It was moved and seconded (Dekker/Habecker) the Amended Plat of Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Quasebarth Subdivision be approved, and it passed unanimously. 2. Resolution #19-93 Proposed Modification of the Estes Park Downtown Redevelopment Program (the Plan). EPURA requested the Board modify the Program (Plan) by amending plans, guidelines and proposals for land uses and development in the Stanley Historic District. There is now more than one owner involved and uses have changed, therefore, staff supports the resolution which refers said modification to the Planning Commission for their review and recommendation. It was moved and seconded (Hix/Habecker) Resolution #19-93 be adopted, and it passed unanimously. 3. Town Administrator's Report. Administrator Klaphake reported that the Colorado Water Resources Authority is in the process of refinancing bonds to lower the debt service. The Town participated in the bonds for the construction of the Marys Lake Water Treatment Plan. Processing documents will be presented in the near future. Due to scheduling conflicts, the . Town Board will meet on Wednesday, September 15 in lieu of Tuesday, September 14. Administrator Klaphake briefed the Board on the current status of the closure of Highway 34 in the Big Thompson Canyon due to a rock slide. State Engineer Doug Rames, Governor Romer's office, and the Army National Guard were contacted. The State Board of Trustees - August 24, 1993 - Page 3 anticipates the road will be open to traffic by Friday, August 27th. An advertising strategy is underway to protect the remaining tourist season. During a recent CML meeting on Amendment 1, eight counties/cities announced they are proceeding with a November, 1993 election asking voters to override Amendment one' s limits on their taxes and spending. Staff suggested the Town not pursue such an election until November, 1994. The Trustees concurred with staff. CIRSA presented the Town with a Motor Vehicle Safety Award for the lowest vehicle accident frequency rate for 1992. The Board commended all departments, specifically Police and Public Works, for their assistance in this regard. Following completion of all agenda items, Mayor Dannels adjourned the meeting at 8:16 P.M. Mayor Town Clerk BRADFOR/PUILISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Special Events Committee August 26, 1993 Committee: Chairman Hix, Trustees Gillette and Habecker Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Klaphake, Special Events Director Scott, Special Events Coordinator Hinze, Advertising Manager Marsh, Deputy Clerk Kuehl Absent: None Chairman Hix called the meeting to order at 8:33 a.m. REVIEW OF SUMMER EVENTS Scandinavian Club of Estes Park (June 25-26): Special Events Coordinator Hinze reviewed this first-year event which attracted 1,000 attendees. Through advertising and planning, extensive growth potential is anticipated. Wool Market (June 10-13): Special Events Coordinator Hinze reviewed this third year event. Attendance has increased from 3,000 to 8,500 with potential for continued growth. In 1994 the National Natural Colored Sheep Show and Conference will be held in conjunction with the wool market. Horse Shows: Director Scott reviewed attendance figures for the Hunter Jumper, Westernaires, Arabian, Quarter Horse, Paint, and Miniature horse shows. Rooftop Rodeo (July 13-17): Director Scott reviewed attendance, revenue, expenditures, and demographics. It was noted that attendance at special events, which reflects on each event's profitability, relies on variables such as weather, available facilities, and scheduled activities for the week. A data base has been established on each event to rank its effectiveness and give direction for budgeting. Excellent support continues from the local businesses. SPECIAL EVENTS RACK CARD CRITERIA The "Estes Events" rack card is a local distribution marketing tool to increase attendance at events, to give the visitor a reason to return, and to extend the visitor's stay. In the past, the card listed events sponsored/supported by the Town. In the future, it will be expanded to include all Estes Park events submitted by February 1, 1994, which meet two of the following four criteria: · Significant or broad-based market appeal for the spectator. Potential of attracting significant traffic. · Sponsored or co-sponsored by the Town. · Sponsored by a broad-based non-profit community organization or be free to the public. This change will require an increase in the rack card size to an 8 1/2 x 11 multi-fold brochure. BRADFORD.U.LISHING CO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Special Events Committee, August 26, 1993 - Page 2 VARIANCE REOUESTS Three events scheduled for October require variance allowances from Section 17.16.050(C) relating to C-D district containment requirements.

There being no further business, Chairman Hix adjourned the meeting at 9:35 a.m. To.- Rwag Tina Kuehl, Deputy Town Clerk BRADFORD PUBLISHINGCO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee August 26, 1993 Committee: Chairman Habecker, Trustees Doylen and Gillette Attending: All Also Attending: Town Administrator Klaphake, Public Works Director Linnane, Special Projects Manager Joseph, Clerk O'Connor Absent: None Chairman Habecker called the meeting to order at 10:00 A.M. LITTLE PROSPECT MOUNTAIN ADDITION - REOUEST TO VACATE WATER EASEMENT. John and Elsie Bridges own Lots 13 and 14, Little Prospect Mountain Addition. In a letter dated August 20, 1993, Gerrie Babion/Owner's representative, requested the Town vacate its water easement across these lots. The right-of-way was granted in 1938 for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and replacing a water line and storage reservoir; the reservoir has been abandoned for several years and the easement no longer serves any purpose. Staff supports the request and advised that the Town Attorney would prepare a Quit Claim Deed and Ordinance. The Committee recommends approval of the request, authorizing Town Attorney White to prepare the Deed and ordinance. INTERFAITH IDENTIFICATION SIGN LOCATED ON HIGHWAY 36 - REOUEST AUTHORIZATION TO INSTALL. Shad Reeves is attempting to earn the Eagle Badge in Boy Scout Troop 8 and is endeavoring to construct/install a sign that would list a maximum of 15 local churches. Shad is working with the Estes Park Interfaith Council and they have requested Estes Park Sign Company perform the sign painting. Sign dimensions are: frame = 9 ft., 2.5" wide, 12 feet high. The 15 individual signs would be 44" wide and 18.5" high and would be hung on chains with 3 columns, 5 rows. Each sign will be forest green and contain the denomination (printed in 3" lettering), address (printed in 2" lettering), and telephone number (printed in 2" lettering). A 3" gap between each sign, as well as a 3" gap between the frame is being planned. The sign will be similar to the existing service club sign located on Highway 36 near the Chamber df Commerce, and Shad is requesting the interfaith sign be located next to or near this club sign. Discussion included construction guidelines, potential improvements (i.e. landscaping) of the site, alternate construction materials to perhaps "soften" the site, and maintenance of the sign. The Committee recommends tentative approval be granted, directing Shad Reeves to meet with Manager Joseph to determine where best to place the sign--this item will be continued to the September 23, 1993 Committee Meeting. The Committee also commended Shad for his interest in the community and leadership role on this project. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY - REOUEST TO WAIVE WATER TAP FEE. In summary, Gerald Swank/Board of Directors and Site Selection Chairman with Habitat for Humanity of the Estes Valley advised that Estes Park is one of 700 affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International. The non-profit organization's mission is to build low cost, well designed and constructed homes for families living in inadequate shelter due to the lack of suitable affordable housing in their community. Habitat seeks local, regional and BRADFORO PUBLISHING CO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - August 26, 1993 - Page 2 federal support which includes at-cost and donated materials, public and private donations, volunteer labor and management, and private and federal grants. Capital, not charity, is provided, and the selected family is required to invest 500 hours of labor into the construction of their home and the one that follows. Habitat has obtained property at 509 Columbine and is requesting the Town waive its $3,700 water tap fee. Mr. Swank confirmed that Habitat requires a 2-year lease/option for the family--the house cannot be sold on the open market for 2 years. Discussion followed concerning the sewer system (a sewer line serving a neighboring property crosses the lot; it will be rerouted and the EPSD will allow both houses to connect to this existing line); and placing an extended deed restriction (pre-empting large capital gains and prompting reimbursement of the water tap fee to the Town); confirmation that the newly formed Housing Authority has not yet adopted a policy relating to fee waivers; and clarification that the Water Fund is an Enterprise Fund (the cost of water taps are attributed to. the cost of providing water). The Committee recommends: (1) the Housing Authority purchase the water tap for this project as a "test case" rather than a precedent setting case (Authority to reimburse the Water Fund), (2) authorize the Town Attorney to prepare a deed restriction stating that if the house is sold on the open market within ten (10) years, that the Housing Authority shall be reimbursed said $3,700. Administrator Klaphake advised that the 1994 Budget already contains $50,000 to help support the Marys Lake housing effort; this fund will be increased by $3,700 for a total of $53,700. The Committee urged the Housing Authority to discuss waiver of fees at their first meeting scheduled in January. Chairman Habecker confirmed that this rec6mmendation will be heard by the Town Board September 15, and he urged Mr. Swank to attend. HIKE/BIKE TRAIL MASTER PLAN - PRESENTATION. Pursuant to the Committee's request in May, an Advisory Committee was assembled to prepare a hike/bike trail system master plan. The Advisory Committee consisted of representatives from the YMCA, RMNP, Larimer County Parks Dept., EVRPD, Police Dept., avid bikers and hikers. The Committee met twice/month for three months and presented the following: 1. Hike/Bike System Master Plan (long term). , 2. Highest priority trails of the Master Plan. 3. Engineering cost estimates to be considered for upcoming budgets. Over 70% of those polled in the recent Talmey-Drake Survey supported an expenditure of $400,000/year for hike/bike trails which reassured the Committeels position. Advisory Committee member Larry Wexler expressed his appreciation to fellow members Les Foiles, Joan Childers, Amy Plummer, Jerry Donner, Randy Repola, Gregg Filsinger, Jr., Bob Joseph and Bill Linnane. The Master Plan is confined to the "valley" and four (4) primary areas were identified: Fall River to Aspenglenn Campground, Lake Estes (north and south), Fish Creek including the school area, and south to Lily Lake, back to Highway. 66. Special Projects Manager Joseph presented a slide program further identifying each of the four sites, 'offering the potential benefits/amenities and potential development/improvement details for each. The Advisory Committee is most enthusiastic of the Lake Estes trail system, and Manager Joseph prepared a preliminary concept plan for this area. The plan consists of two phases--Phase I includes the north shore and Phase II includes the south shore. BRADFOR. PUBLISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - August 26, 1993 - Page 3 Larry Gamble, RMNP reviewed the Park's involvement on the Advisory Committee and reported that the Park is working on a development plan for the Lily Lake area, possibly including an underpass to negate pedestrian traffic crossing Highway 7. The Park is also in the process of working on a visitor center along Fall River. Stan Gengler, EVRPD advised that, independently, the *District prepared preliminary cost estimates and design for Lake Estes ($135,000 for basically the same route) and they have had discussions with the Bureau of Reclamation regarding funding assistance. Public Works Director Linnane reviewed the cost estimates for Lake Estes - $665,000, and Fish Creek - $648,000. The estimates include concrete paths as concrete is twice as durable as asphalt. A list of funding sources was also provided. Discussion followed concerning potential wetlands, environmental, and wildlife issues, request for RMC to conduct a feasibility study to examine both sites ($9,000 +), and project phasing. The Committee recommends Administrator Klaphake, EVRPD Director Gengler, and Larimer County Parks Director MacFarlane prepare a funding recommendation for presentation during the September 23rd Committee meeting. The Committee also urged the Joint Budget Committee to include this project as an "A Priority." Staff was also directed to make a similar presentation at the Town Board meeting September 15, 1993. The Committee applauded the effort and support given by the Advisory Committee. Roy Jones, 220 Fall River Lane expressed concern with public access to private property along Fall River. Staff confirmed that the proposal is preliminary, the intent is to make the trails desirable for surrounding neighborhoods as well as participants, and that staff is proposing to bypass the residential area referred to by Mr. Jones. Should there be any change in the route along Fall River, Mr. Jones will be so advised. The Committee also assured Mr. Jones that the trail system, as presented, is very preliminary. PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF S. SAINT VRAIN AND PINE KNOLL - REOUEST INSTALLATION. Elizabeth Lindgren, 1155 S. St. Vrain, requested a push-button operated cross walk light be installed at said intersection due to heavy traffic and vehicular speed. Staff reported that CDOT was contacted and they would require a warrant study of the area. However, the study must find that at least 100 pedestrians/hour cross this intersection, and staff contends such would not be found. Therefore, staff suggested no further action be taken. Based upon staff's findings, the Committee recommends the request be denied, suggesting staff advise CDOT that due to the increasing number of areas that may need special treatment, CDOT consider establishing guidelines for a variance in their highway design which is currently underway. ESTES VALLEY RECREATION & PARK DISTRICT (EVRPD) - INSTALLATION OF PLAYGROUND EOUIPMENT AT STANLEY PARK - REPORT. Director Linnane reported that the EVRPD applied for a Land and Water Conservation Grant to construct playground equipment at Stanley Park. As the EVRPD leases the site from the Town, the State Parks Department required the Town to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with EVRPD outlining the Town's responsibilities relative to replacement/maintenance of the equipment. The Agreement was executed in July and the grant has been approved. BRADFORDPUBLISHING CO.

TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY SUB-COMMITTEE - REPORT. Chairman Dekker reported on a recent meeting of the Transportation Advisory Sub-Committee: • The mode of transportation used for visitors should be in character with the community. • The 1993 Park and Ride modified schedule did not meet employees' needs as anticipated. • The Avon bus offer will be explored to include costs of maintenance, etc. • Possibility of creating a transportation system dedicated for employees; appearance of these unit(s) would not necessarily be that required for the visitor transportation system. • The possibility exists for a public/private partnership should an employee system be created. Additional discussion included "overload" periods where the schedule could be improved to manage large groups, particularly at the YMCA; effort be given to determine the correct number of transportation units to suit the Town's needs; and a request that consideration be given for permanent signage for visiting buses. The next Sub-Committee meeting is scheduled September 15. 1993 ADVERTISING REPORT. The Department responded to the recent rock slide on Highway 34 by providing information that the canyon would be open for the Folks Festival and that an alternate route via Highway 36 was available. The advertising campaign "open all year" has been introduced to the front-range resident. This campaign will be an on-going, off- season advertising effort utilizing 4-6 different ads promoting various aspects of the recreational and non-recreational activities in and around the Estes Valley.

The Committee commended Coordinator Thomas for the implementation of this program. MUSEUM REPORT. Director Swain presented copies of the Architectural Assessment Report prepared by Long Hoeft Architects. The report recommended a study be prepared for micro-analysis of the structures, detailed historic analysis; and research as to what furniture is appropriate; funding for this study has been included in the 1994 Budget. The Committee reviewed monthly statistics for July. As reported in August, Director Swain has resigned, and Betty Kilsdonk, Curator will serve as Interim Director until such time as a Director has been named. Due to the workload, Lynda Vogel has been hired on a short-term contract, working as a temporary exhibits technician.

The right-of-way was granted in 1938 for the purpose of constructing, maintaining and replacing a water line and storage reservoir; the reservoir has been abandoned for several years and the easement no longer serves any purpose. Staff supports the request and advised that the Town Attorney would prepare a Quit Claim Deed and Ordinance. The Committee recommends approval of the request, authorizing Town Attorney White to prepare the Deed and ordinance.

BRI.FORI PUDISHING CO· RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - August 26, 1993 - Page 2 0.8.-r HABITAT FOR HUMANITY - REOUEST TO WAIVE WATER TAP FEE. -7 In summary, Gerald Swank/Board of Directors and Site Selection Chairman with Habitat for Humanity of the Estes Valley advised that Estes Park is one of 700 affiliates of Habitat for Humanity International. The non-profit organization's mission is to build low cost, well designed and constructed homes for families living in inadequate shelter due to the lack of suitable affordable housing in their community. Habitat seeks local, regional and federal support which includes at-cost and donated materials, public and private donations, volunteer labor and management, and private and federal grants. Capital, not charity, is provided, and the selected family is required to invest 500 hours of labor into the construction of their home and the one that follows. Habitat has obtained property at 509 Columbine and is requesting the Town waive its $3,700 water tap fee. Mr. Swank confirmed that Habitat requires a 2-year lease/option for the family--the house cannot be sold on the open market for 2 years. Discussion followed concerning the sewer system (a sewer line serving a neighboring property crosses the lot; it will be rerouted and the EPSD will allow both houses to connect to this existing line); and placing an extended deed restriction (pre-empting large capital gains and prompting reimbursement of the water tap fee to the Town); confirmation that the newly formed Housing Authority has not yet adopted a policy relating to fee waivers; and clarification that the Water Fund is an Enterprise Fund (the cost of water taps are attributed to the cost of providing water). The Committee recommends: (1) the Housing Authority purchase the water tap for this project as a "test case" rather than a precedent setting case (Authority to reimburse the Water Fund), (2) authorize the Town Attorney to prepare a deed restriction stating that if the house is sold on the open market within ten (10) years, that the Housing Authority shall be reimbursed said $3,700. Administrator Klaphake advised that the 1994 Budget already contains $50,000 to help support the Marys Lake housing effort; this fund will be increased by $3,700 for a total of $53,700. The Committee urged the Housing Authority to discuss waiver of fees at their first meeting scheduled in January. Chairman Habecker confirmed that this recommendation will be heard by the Town Board September 15, and he urged Mr. Swank to attend. BRADFOROPUBLISHINGCO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works Committee - August 26, 1993 - Page 2 HIKE/BIKE TRAIL MASTER PLAN - PRESENTATION. 4.6. ~SI Pursuant to the Committeels request in May, an Advisory Committee was assembled to prepare a hike/bike trail system master plan. The Advisory Committee consisted of representatives from the YMCA, RMNP, Larimer County Parks Dept., EVRPD, Police Dept., avid bikers and hikers. The Committee met twice/month for three months and presented the following: 1. , Hike/Bike System Master Plan (long term). 2. Highest priority trails of the Master Plan. 3. Engineering cost estimates to be considered for upcoming budgets. Over 70% of those polled in the recent Talmey-Drake Survey supported an expenditure of $400,000/year for hike/bike trails which reassured the Committee's position. Advisory Committee member Larry Wexler expressed his appreciation to fellow members Les Foiles, Joan Childers, Amy Plummer, Jerry Donner, Randy Repola, Gregg Filsinger, Jr., Bob Joseph and Bill Linnane. The Master Plan is confined to the "valley" and four (4) primary areas were identified: Fall River to Aspenglenn Campground, Lake Estes (north and south), Fish Creek including the school area, and south to Lily Lake, back to Highway. 66. Special Projects Manager Joseph presented a slide program further identifying each of the four sites, offering the potential benefits/amenities and potential development/improvement details for each. The Advisory Committee is most enthusiastic of the Lake Estes trail system, and Manager Joseph prepared a preliminary concept plan for this area. The plan consists of two phases--Phase I includes the north shore and Phase II includes the south shore. Larry Gamble, RMNP reviewed the Park's involvement on the Advisory Committee and reported that the Park is working on a development plan for the Lily Lake area, possibly including an underpass to negate pedestrian traffic crossing Highway 7. The Park is also in the process of working on a visitor center along Fall River. Stan Gengler, EVRPD advised that, independently, the District prepared preliminary cost estimates and design for Lake Estes ($135,000 for basically the same route) and they have had discussions with the Bureau of Reclamation regarding funding assistance. . Public Works Director Linnane reviewed the cost estimates for Lake Estes - $665,000, and Fish Creek - $648,000. The estimates include concrete paths as concrete is twice as durable as asphalt. A list of funding sources was also provided. Discussion followed concerning potential wetlands, environmental, and wildlife issues, request for RMC to conduct a feasibility study to examine both sites ($9,000 *), and project phasing. The Committee recommends Administrator Klaphake, EVRPD Director Gengler, and Larimer County Parks Director MacFarlane prepare a funding recommendation for presentation during the September 23rd committee meeting. The Committee also urged the Joint Budget Committee to include this project as an "A Priority." Staff was also directed to make a similar presentation at the Town Board meeting September 15, 1993. The Committee applauded the effort and support given by the Advisory Committee. Roy Jones, 220 Fall River Lane expressed concern with public access to private property along Fall River. Staff confirmed that the proposal is preliminary, the intent is to make the trails desirable for surrounding neighborhoods as well as participants, and that staff is proposing to bypass the residential area referred to by Mr. Jones. Should there be any change in the route along Fall River, Mr. Jones will be so advised. The Committee also assured Mr. Jones that the trail system, as presented, is very preliminary.

Why are you interested in serving as a Library Trustee? Public Libraries have been important to me throughout my life. From the time I could read, I have enjoyed the resources of libraries around the country. As a relatively recent permanent resident of Estes Park, I have been impressed by the fine library facility here and by the extent to which local residents contribute to the quality of life in this area by their active participation in volunteer roles. I believe that my interest and skills are a good fit with the needs of the Estes Park Library, and I would like to be a part of the population that makes a contribution to the community. What ideas would you like to pursue during your board membership? The Library faces well known challenges; setting reasonable goals for the future, and working toward those goals within the context of limited resources. The success of the Library relates directly to the extent to which those goals meet the needs of the Library's patrons, and the maximization of resources for meeting those goals. Along with other Board members and the Library Staff, I would focus on the definition of those goals, the development of resources, and the popularization of the Library itself. Other Comments: The Library represents cherished freedoms of this country - freedoms of ideas and expression. There are forces in our society that would seek to limit or deny those freedoms. I would be diligent in working to ensure that the functioning of the Library to meet the needs of all members of the district is not compromised.

Town Administrator RE: TOWN BOARD GOALS/POLICY AGENDA 1993 At the January 25, 1993 Administrative Committee, the Town Board established three new goals. 1. Consolidation of EPURA with the Town. 2. Consolidation of EVRPD with the Town. 3. Merging the Estes Park and Upper Thompson Sanitation Districts. Staff was asked to work on these goals and report back by August 15th. Essentially, all the discussions and actions were complete before August 15th. A summary of the above-stated goals is as follows: EPURA In July, staff met with EPURA and Town Board. We developed a plan called Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority, Phase II, a Community- Wide Focus. 1. Budgeting. A Town/EPURA budget will be jointly developed using the pooled revenues to arrive at a Community-Wide Budget. This process will involve the establishment of a Town/EPURA Budget Committee which will include two EPURA members and two Town Board members and the Mayor for budget recommendations. The Budget Committee shall recommend the budget to the appropriate Board/Authority for, approval and project oversight. P. O.

Urban Renewal Plan Changes: The Downtown Redevelopment Program (Plan) will be modified to facilitate and encourage appropriate expenditures outside the urban renewal area. The changes will expand only expenditures outside the area and will not allow other powers to be used outside the existing area. 3. Review of Downtown Developments. The review of developments within the Urban Renewal area will be incorporated as part of the Planning Commission review process. This action reduces the regulatory climate of local government. 4. Intergovernmental Agreement. The present Intergovernmental Agreement, which does not provide for a budgeting process, will be replaced with a new agreement by January 1, 1994. The new IGA will define the budgeting process and other proposed changes outlined above. It was agreed that the joint budgeting process would start this fall in 1993. EVRPD The Mayor designated Trustee Dekker and Trustee Gillette to work with staff on this goal. We held meetings with representatives of EVRPD. We agreed that: 1. Merging should be considered only after the Town completes more annexation. The issue of governance and representation was of primary concern. 2. In the short term, the Town and EVRPD have established an intergovernmental agreement for accounting services and will be investigating other cooperative possibilities. ESTES PARK SANITATION DISTRICT AND UPPER THOMPSON SANITATION DISTRICT Mayor Dannels and I attended a joint meeting of the sanitation districts. It was reported that the two Districts are working together and will seriously investigate more sharing of facilities and services in the future. Estes Park Sanitation District has decided to transition to a user fee system and drop the property tax levy. We recognize the Town does not have jurisdiction in these areas. Our goal was to investigate new and futuristic ways of operation. We are encouraged by the new directions of the Sanitation Districts.
