It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Gillette) the consent calendar, with the item removed as described above, be approved and it passed unanimously. Pursuant to prior discussions on the installation of additional stop signs in the Carriage Hills area with Chief Racine, Trustee Doylen questioned why the sign conversion was recommended for approval without benefit of a warrant study and associated supporting documentation.

RMNP Chief of Maintenance Steve Iobst briefed the Trustees on this project and presented a drawing of the building which will be constructed in an area between Mills Drive and Chiefs Head Road. Fire Chief Rumley stated the structure will be a tremendous asset to the Department as well as the west end, and that funding is being provided by the National Park and the Fire Department (not Town subsidy) . ' The term of the Agreement is 5 years and the Fire Department is equipping the building. Noting the importance of and potential for additional such public/public partnerships, it was moved and seconded (Gillette/Marshall) the Cooperative Agreement between Rocky Mountain National Park and the Town/Fire Department be approved, and it passed unanimously. 2. Planning Commission: A. Final Plat of Lots 1 and 2. Stanley Village Subdivision. Stanley Commercial Development/Applicant - Continued from Mav 10. 1994. Mayor Dannels opened the public hearing. i Community Development Director Stamey reviewed the plat which proposes enlarging existing Lot 1 (Park National Bank), by including a vacant area to the west of the bank. The bank will have ownership and will construct the subsequent building on Lot 1. Planning commission comments have been added to the Plat and property pins set. Of a technical matter, the attorney's certificate was dated July 8, 1994--the certificate should be dated July 12, 1994. A letter from the Applicant stating that no change in common ownership has occurred will meet this requirement. Bill Van Horn, Applicant's representative, confirmed that no new or additional ownership is being created by this proposal. Concerning the original approval of maximum floor area, Mr. Van Horn confirmed that if, in the future, Stanley Village Development desires increase the combined area, approval must first be obtained from EPURA and the Planning Commission. As there were no persons speaking in opposition to the plat, Mayor Dannels closed the public hearing. It was moved and seconded (Doylen/Dekker) the Final Plat of Lots 1 and 2, Stanley Village Subdivision be approved, and it passed unanimously. B. Final Plat of Lot 3. Stanley Historic District. FHK Co. Partnership/Applicant - Request 10-dav extension for submittal of Improvement Guarantee.

Final Homeowners Association documents have been received. It was'moved and seconded (Pauley/Doylen) the
1 . Board of Trustees - July 12, 1994 - Page 3 request be continued to July 26, 1994; however, if the Guarantee is received prior to 7/26/94, staff is authorized to record the plat, and it passed unanimously. 3. Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness Act of 1994 "Wilderness Bill" - Discussion with Representatives from RMNP. and the Offices of Hank Brown. David Skaqqs and Wavne Allard. Steve Smith, District Field Representative/David Skaggs Office, briefed the Trustees on Representative Skaggs (the Bill's sponsor) position on the Wilderness Bill. Such a designation would stipulate where human imprints would not occur (roads, permanent structures and the like). In Mr. Smith's opinion, the inclusion of water rights language does not conflict with existing (municipal) users. RMNP Superintendent Homer Rouse reported that RMNP endorses the Bill which will ratify how the Park has been managed for the past 20 years. Areas for future structures will be preserved. Supt. Rouse presented a fact sheet on the "Impacts of the Wilderness Designation on Managing a Park." Discussion included the perception of an additional "layer of bureaucracy", concern of the inclusion of water rights language (Pg. 2, line 14 (3) existing rights and Pg. 4, line 13 (b) reserved water rights) particularly, protection of the Town's water rights and how federal control could endanger Colorado water rights, Park visitation "caps", and use of motorized vehicles, particularly for trail maintenance. Mr. Smith confirmed that a detailed map will be available for inspection at RMNP. Diane Hopper/Senator Hank Brown's Office, reiterated Senator Brown' s concerns: potential restriction on recreational use, water rights implications, introduction of the Bill with little or no consultation with members of Congress whose districts contain the majority of the land, and the primary mission of the National Park Service. For these reasons, Senator Brown is not supporting the Bill. Mike Bennett, District Director/Representative Wayne Allard's Office, expressed concern with water rights/federal reserve water rights, urged the Bill be treated with caution due to the watershed, and commented that he was pleased with the public comment opportunity. Mayor Dannels expressed the Board's appreciation to all three representatives. It was moved and seconded (Miller/Marshall) the Board of Trustees not support the Wilderness Bill - Wilderness Act of 1994 in its present form due to the major concern with the water rights language and why such has been included, and it passed unanimously. 4. 1993 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Finance Officer Vavra and Steve Jackson/CPA presented the Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended December 3, 1993 and reviewed graphs depicting 1993 Revenues hnd Other Sources of Funds, Expenditures, Revenues and Expenditures, and General Fixed Assets and Equity. The Trustees expressed their appreciation to staff and Mr. Jackson for the presentation and acknowledged receipt of the Audit. 5. Town Administrator's Report. Administrator Klaphake reported on staff's examination of the Town's raw water supply with regard to a potential shortfall in August/September and confirmed that Attorney White has successfully negotiated the rental of an additional 200 ac. ft. of water through the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District (NCWCD) from Eastman Kodak. Although the Town may not require the additional water, it will be used in some fashion (perhaps the EVRPD). Staff is continuing to research creative ideas to lower consumptive use. Attorney White confirmed that since NCWCD's record keeping, 1994 is the driest year in history. Sales Tax statistics for May, 1994 over May, 1993 have increased 11.91%. Year-to-date through May is up 14.3%.
Board of Trustees - July 12, 1994 - Page 4 Following completion of the above agenda items concerning the Board of Trustees, Mayor Dannels adjourned the meeting at 9:30 P.M. Board of Trustees Convene as Estes Park Housing Authority Chairman Dannels called the meeting to order at 9:31 P.M. 1. Appointment - Vice Chairman. Current Officers include H. B. Dannels/Chairman and Robert L. Dekker/Secretary. It was moved and seconded (Gillette/Pauley) Susan L. Doylen be appointed Vice Chairman, and it passed unanimously. 2.A. Re-introduction of Mission Statement and Strategic Plano Ass't. Administrator Widmer presented a draft copy of the Mission Statement which defines how the Authority will operate. Following revision, the Statement will read as follows: "The mission of the Estes Park Housing Authority is to generate, through public and private cooperation, housing at affordable cost to serve the housing needs of locally- employed persons who live within the Estes Park area and who have incomes below 80% of the median family income or who are seasonally employed." B. Lona-Term Oblectives. These objectives include the following: 1. Assist in the development of at least 310 new or rehabilitated units of affordable housing (the number was taken from the recent housing study). 2. Periodically review and update the Housing Needs Assessment. 3. Adopt regulations that require new developments to provide affordable housing. C. Annual Goals. These goals include the following: 1. Complete the purchase of land for affordable housing located at Community Dr./Manford Ave., including a municipal election. 2. Initiate site planning, building design, and prepare preliminary cost estimates for the project at Community Dr./Manford Ave. 3. Establish a partnership agreement with Rocky Mountain National Park and other appropriate partners. Median family income figures are supplied by HUD. Estes Park must use the figures from the Fort Collins/Loveland base area. Examples of the 80% maximum calculation are: single/$24,750; 2 people/$28,300; 4 people/$35,350; and 8 people/$46,650. Discussion followed, with staff confirming: the definition of "affordable" may change depending on the project; the recent Marys Lake Housing Project is compatible with the Mission Statement; and locally employed persons must first establish residency prior to applying for affordable housing. There were no changes in the Long-Term Objectives; however, the word "Annual" Goals will be revised to "First Year" Goalk. All of the'above revisions will be formally presented to the Trustees at the next quarterly meeting scheduled in September. Administrator Klaphake reported that committees have been established to assist Trustees Doylen and Gillette.
Board of Trustees - July 12, 1994 - Page 5 Discussions are taking place in three areas: (1) the physical development of the site, (2) finance, and (3) how to communicate project(s) to the public. Information on the housing plan, site'and financing options with the RMNP will be shared by Trustees Doylen and Gillette. Housing Plan - Trustee Doylen reported that pursuant to community workshops, it was believed housing is a serious need, however, the design is critical in terms of integrating the structure into the community - the project should be "village scale." The plan should be flexible to accommodate various types of households (1, 2, and 3 bedroom units) which should consider future needs as well. Approximately 52 units are being proposed on the Community Dr./Manford Ave. site. Phasing of the housing plan depends on financing. The current goal, relative to planning and design, is to publicly present conceptual plans in late August. Site - The Town recently expended $15,000 on an option to purchase the Community Dr./Manford Ave. site which contains 4.74 acres. Total cost of the site is $397,072. Concern has been expressed on the cost of this land. The committee contends that the Town could not financially make the infrastructure improvements to this land if they did not already exist, and that public goodwill to launch this project could not be created without a site that has the following attributes: central location (existing pedestrian/vehicular access) close to services i.e. day care, grocery stores, recreation, etc., and resident acceptability which avoids the "Not-In-My-Back-Yard" philosophy. This site has the highest level of infrastructure available and current zoning allows the desired density. If other land is available that meets the aforementioned criteria, the citizenry was encouraged to so advise the Town. Finance - Trustee Gillette reported that this committee is comprised of members from the banking institutions, consultants, staff, and RMNP. The housing plan is based on support from sales tax revenues, not property taxes. A ballot question for approval of the expenditure for this site will be included in the general election scheduled in November. All meetings are open to the public and residents were encouraged to attend. Partnership - The Town and RMNP are exploring options to help solve the housing needs of the community. Public/public partnerships will become the "wave of the future" and RMNP Superintendent Rouse was applauded for his efforts on this project. Supt. Rouse commented that the Park is faced with a critical housing dilemma. The Park currently meets 50% of their housing needs and the Park does share in this valley- wide problem. Supt. Rouse reported that $27.4 Million would be necessary to bring all of their housing up to current standard; 68% of their housing does not meet current standards - these facts were presented to Washington Officials. Supt. Rouse discussed the housing problem with the Town and was informed of the opportunity to meet 20% of their needs via the proposed affordable housing project on the Community Dr./Manford Ave. site. The Secretary of the Interior and Director of the National Park Service were advised and ! resources and labor have been committed to the Town's project. Alan McReynolds of Bruce Babbit's Office (Secretary of the Interior) was introduced and he confirmed that Washington Officials are extremely excited about the opportunity to participate in the housing plan. Jack McAllister/National Park Foundation has adopted this project and the Park Service offers design services, guaranteed occupancy, and hopefully funding to retain the affordable housing concept. RMNP

BRADFOR.PUBLISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Light and Power Committee July 14, 1994 Committee: Chairman Dekker, Trustees Miller and Pauley Attending: Chairman Dekker, Trustees Miller and Pauley Also Attending: Light and Power Director Matzke, Assistant Town Administrator Widmer, and Deputy Clerk Kuehl Absent: None Chairman Dekker called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. HTE FIXED ASSET SOFTWARE - AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE In 1992, the Town purchased a new computer system for accounting, payroll, and utility billing purposes. Finance Officer Vavra requested authorization to purchase a Fixed Asset module from HTE, Inc. which will integrate with the General Ledger and Purchasing software. This will allow inquiries into the status of an asset, identification of each asset for tracking, and sorting by categories. The Committee recommends approval of the expenditure of $5,000 for the module, $1,360 for training/travel expenses, plus the $1,200 annual support fee--all to be appropriated from the 1994 Light and Power Budget. MICROFICHE READER/COPIER - AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE Director Matzke reported that the existing 3M Microfilm Machine is outdated and is producing poor quality viewing and copying. The machine is used by various departments and citizens to view subdivision plats furnished by Larimer County on 35mm aperture cards. The 1994 budget for the Light & Power, Water, and General Fund-General Government Buildings Departments included $8,500 for replacement of this equipment, plus annual maintenance fees, which are based on original purchase price. Following are quotations for a replacement: Purchase Annual Model Price Maintenance Bell and Howell 7000 $ 8,756.75 $ 778.00 (1PM) Canon MP680 $12,743.00 $1,295.00 Minolta RP607Z (Demo) $ 9,200.00 $1,104.00 (3PMs) These models include one zoom lens, a microfiche carrier, and a plain paper copier. The Minolta unit, which is approximately two years old, also includes an image rotation prism and a faster print engine. The Committee recommends approval of the purchase of the Minolta RP607Z High-Volume Reader-Printer for $9,200 from Datafilms, Inc., with the purchase price and annual maintenance split equally among the three departments, with the difference in cost extracted from the Light & Power Office Equipment budget. FALL RIVER HYDRO PLANT - DECLARATION OF INTENT STATUS Assistant Mangelsen reported that the Declaration of Intent is still being reviewed. Public notice will appear in Larimer County newspapers for six weeks, followed by contact with federal agencies, with an expected response to the jurisdictional question by September 1.
BRADFOR.PUBLISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Light and Power Committee - July 14, 1994 - Page 2 REPORTS Director Matzke presented various graphs and Financial Reports for May and June. Project Updates: Serving new construction has been the major activity, including line extensions and meter hookups. Due to the resultant workload, various approved capital projects are being delayed, and may be considered for public bid in the future. Several meters with electronic demand registers were reprogrammed while in service, which resulted in a high demand charge on some accounts for one billing period; however, this problem has been corrected. Poles are being set in the Allenspark area to assist U.S. West. The Town will work with U.S. West as they make improvements along Marya Lake Road and the West Elkhorn Avenue. The new duty truck will be in service next week. The voltage recorder is in use and will be demonstrated at the next meeting. The authorized undergrounding of wires across Highway 34 has been delayed to coordinate with the proposed widening of the highway. The Rocky Mountain National Park utility and housing area is in the Town's service area, however, it is not presently served by the Town. Future conversion of their system is being addressed. New OSHA regulations for to include state and municipal operations are being considered by Congress. The new regulations will place additional documentation requirements on the department's limited staff. The Committee recommends the Mayor write to Congress regarding the future of this unfunded mandate. Chairman Dekker commended the Light & Power Staff for their continued efforts and the positive asset to the Town and its customers. Platte River Power Authority: Assistant Administrator Widmer reported on the PRPA Board Meeting held May 26: Platte River has signed the Western Regional Transmission Association Governing Agreement; Moffett County has accepted $35,000 per year for five years from Platte River for economic impact of the Craig Station; a construction agreement has been negotiated for the completion of a transmissioh line to Utah; public sessions regarding the Integrated Resource Plan are complete and a follow-up telephone survey is being performed to confirm the input received; a work session was held with Arthur Anderson Accountants to discuss trends of deregulation.

MINUTES. Minutes were approved as submitted. 2. DEVELOPMENT PLANS. 2.A. Development Plan #94-6. Phase II. North Ridge Meadow Condominiums. East Park Subdivision. Rich Wille/Applicant (Continued from June 21. 1994). Phase II consists of 28 units in seven 4-plexes, for a total project of 47 units. Street and utilities have been installed. Applicant' s representative Bill Van Horn noted the following: (1) Town Attorney White advised that pursuant to State Statute, a maximum 3-yr. vested rights period is allowed and the Applicant has provided a development time-frame of May 31, 1998 - the reasoning behind the development phasing to May 31, 1998 is to be able to respond to market conditions--if today's trend continues, construction will be completed prior to 1998; (2) drainage - Estes Park Surveyors have inspected the facilities and a letter was provided; (3) subdivision proposal - the Applicant is formally withdrawing this proposal. Commissioner comments included: proposed and existing landscaping not shown on the plat; Town policy that street lights be installed on public streets and that in the future, if the Applicant desires street lights, such be installed to Town standards solely at the Applicant's expense; and cluster box locations need to be identified on the plan. Community Development Director Stamey confirmed that the landscaping, particularly along the western property line, street lighting, and cluster-box locations were issues yet to be resolved. Staff suggested that, as an alternative to the landscaping plan being proposed, additional trees and plantings be placed between the buildings and at the building entries. In addition, street tree plantings should be provided for the Dry Gulch Road frontage. Staff reviewed landscaping requirements: 1 tree for every 30' of street frontage and one shrub every 5'. District boundary planting requirements were also noted. Mr. Van Horn stated that during Phase 1, the Applicant was of the opinion that the existing tree retention counted toward Phase 2, and that the site was designed in an attempt to maintain existing trees. Director Stamey confirmed that the plantings for Phase 1 were appropriate. Mr. Van Horn confirmed that private-line telephone service has been secured from US West and that, as suggested by Commissioner A. Hix, the Applicant would be willing to "trade" district boundary planting requirements for planting on Dry Gulch Road frontage. In addition, existing trees will be
BRADFOROPUBLISHINGCO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - July 19, 1994 - Page 2 added to the plan and they will not be removed from the site. Chairman Sager commented on the difficulty in traversing the driveways for Units 1 and 2 in Phase 1, and suggested this type of undesirable approach not be considered for Phase II. Audience comments -were-heard from Ron Harvey/Resident and Neighborhood Representative: desires re-seeding occur along the west bank, the neighborhood does not desire additional street lighting, and Phase I building design and landscaping has been favorable. Following conclusion of all testimony, it was moved and seconded (A. Hix/Burgess) Development Plan #94-6, Phase II, North Ridge Meadow Condominiums be approved contingent upon the following conditions, and it passed unanimously: 1. The drainage plan be completed and inspected. 2. The slope be stabilized and re-seeded, to include plantings along the west lot line. 3. The landscaping plan be completed to include a planting list, and submitted to the Planning Commission. 4. The 4-yr. time extension to May 31, 1998 is found to be unnecessary, thus the time-extension is denied. 5. Provide cluster-box locations on the plat. Director Stamey stated that upon receipt, he would submit the landscaping plan to the Commission. 3. SUBDIVISIONS. 3.A. Preliminary Plat. Lot 26. Twin View Addition. Estes Homes. Inc. /Applicant. This subdivision proposes nine single- family lots and a 1.46 acre open space outlot. Paul Kochevar, Applicant's representative stated that the proposal includes nine building sites for ten dwelling units. The entire area to the east will be designed as open space to allow wildlife access to Fish Creek. The sites will be served by a short cul-de-sac and all utilities will be underground. Wetlands have been identified on the plat and such will be labeled so as not to be disturbed. The Applicant has agreed to provide an easement for a hike/bike path between Fish Creek and the west side of Fish Creek Road. The Applicant would like to construct a duplex on Lot 9 and utilize a zero lot line to separate the structure into two units. The lot would not be divided until the construction of the building has progressed to where the division wall is clearly established. This proposal Will be re-submitted under Special Review regulations. Mr. Kochevar Confirmed that the 100-year floodplain was reviewed and it falls entirely within the wetlands boundary. Pursuant to neighborhood concern expressed during the Fish Creek neighborhood meetings, Commissioners suggested a note be placed on the plat recognizing an existing "light industrial" activity adjacent to the site (cement plant). Mr. Kochevar noted that the setback for the affected building envelope has been increased. Additional comment was made that cluster box
BRADFOROPUBLISHINGCO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - July 19, 1994 - Page 3 locations should be identified. Tim McPhee/Applicant, stated that he had no objection to the light industrial activity note being placed on the plat; however, he did object to the inclusion of the word "nuisance." With regard to utilities, Commissioner Thomas questioned whether telephone service had been secured from US West. On US West' s agency referral letter, US West noted "no comment. " It was suggested a note also be added to the plat stating that there is no assurance that US West is capable of providing telephone service at this time. Mr. Kochevar advised that Larimer County is requiring that a list of utilities currently available be included on their plat submittals. Applicant's representative also clarified the duplex proposal and subsequent need for resubmittal through the Special Review process. Director Stamey reviewed the staff report. Audience testimony was heard from Ruth Montgomery, 1380 Willow Ln.--concern with density and development profile; and Linda Coleman, 1360 Willow Ln.--concern with density and the impact on Fish Creek Road. Director Stamey clarified density calculations. There being no further comment, it was moved and seconded (Brown/Pohl) the Preliminary Plat of Lot 26, Twin View Addition (Brookside Subdivision) be approved with the following conditions, and it passed unanimously: 1. Wetlands be more clearly identified and a note placed on the Final Plat stating that the wetlands shall be maintained in their natural condition and no excavation, fill or disturbance is permitted. Also, the edge of the wetlands should be identified on the site and staked, perhaps with some type of architectural post. 2. Submittal of the Homeowners covenants that address the preservation and maintenance of the open space. 3. Building envelope dimensions be added to the Final Plat and the buildings be sized to ensure all construction occurs within said building envelopes. 4. The existing water line reimbursement contract be finalized in writing prior to approval of the Final Plat. 5. The cul-de-sac water main to be 8" in diameter and completed. 6. A drainage report be submitted prior to approval of the Final Plat. 7. The agreed-upon hike/bike path easement is accepted. 8. A note be placed on the plat that "there is an existing restricted industrial zone" adjacent to the site and an existing use on that site." 9. Cluster box location be identified on the plat. 10. Electric meter locations, street light provisions,
BRADFORIPUBLISHING.0 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Planning Commission - July 19, 1994 - Page 4 plus a list of available utilities be identified on the Final Plat. 11. Final road design be based on a soils study. 12. Detail on the driveways. for Lots 5 and 6 be provided with street design El-an_and_ profile. 3.B. Preliminary Plat. Sleepv Hollow Subdivision. Fall River Road (west of Trails West and Black Hawk Lodges. Garv D. Connelly/Applicant. Commissioner Pohl reported that while conducting a site inspection, conversation was held with adjacent property owners Mike Wallace/Black Hawk Lodge and Jeff Barker/Trail West--this discussion will not influence the decision-making process. The proposed subdivision consists of 10 single family lots, a 14.7 acre open space outlot, and a 17.7 acre open space outlot. Commissioner Brown stated that he was aware of the contested access to this site. Applicant's representative Kerry Prochaska advised that the Applicant is preparing an access easement with Messrs. Wallace and Barker; status of the existing single-lane bridge was also reviewed, and Mr. Prochaska added that the Applicant is considering an electric gate on the west side of said bridge. Staff confirmed that single-lane bridges have not recently been approved. Additional discussion included: was consideration given to an alternative access possibly from the north; if an electric gate is installed, how will emergency vehicles gain access; and a suggestion that a "vicinity map" be included in future plat submittals. Director Stamey reviewed the staff report and acknowledged correspondence received from RMNP dated 7/15/94 and James Tawney/Ponderosa Lodge dated 7/17/94. RMNP supports the subdivision concept; Mr. Tawney expressed concerns with the development due to access and the restricted area. Comments from the audience were heard from: Mike Wallace/Black Hawk Lodge who stated he preliminarily supported an access easement; however, should the Town determine the access is a public road, his business would be negatively impacted due to limited customer parking (currently exists) and land availability/setback. Jim Tawney reiterated concerns expressed in his 7/17/94 letter. Mike Harris, owner of Lot 5, Summerset Subdivision presented a copy of his plat and stated the access road to the north which is in question is no longer a road or public access--it has been adjudicated and is now his private driveway. Mr. Harris also expressed concern with drainage and soil erosion occurring on his property. Mr. Prochaska concurred with Mr. Harris that the access road has been vacated. Commissioner Brown commented that as access is the prime consideration and such has yet to be determined and/or clarified, the Applicant has not met subdivision requirements. Mr. Prochaska stated that access is available; however, an easement has not been negotiated nor acquired. Jeff Barker advised that he is willing to grant an easement, however, he will not grant any additional property to the Applicant. Based upon the access issue which is unclear at this time (and a desire that the access issue be resolved "once and for all"), and protection of the public, it was moved and seconded (Brown/A. Hix) the Preliminary Plat of Sleepy Hollow Subdivision be continued to August 16, 1994, adding that the Commission will require the minimum 24' width

Finance Officer Vavra requested authorization to purchase a Fixed Asset module from HTE, Inc. which will integrate with the General Ledger and Purchasing software. This will allow inquiries into the status of an asset, identification of each asset for tracking, and sorting by categories. The Committee recommends approval of the expenditure of $5,000 for the module, $1,360 for training/travel expenses, plus the $1,200 annual support fee--all to be appropriated from the 1994 Light and Power Budget. MICROFICHE READER/COPIER - AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE 0~ Director Matzke reported that the existing OM Microfilm Machine is / outdated and is producing poor quality viewing and copying. The machine is used by various departments and citizens to view subdivision plats furnished by Larimer County on 35mm aperture cards. The 1994 budget for the Light & Power, Water, and General Fund-General Government Buildings Departments included $8,500 for replacement of this equipment, plus annual maintenance fees, which are based on original purchase price. Following are quotations for a replacement: Purchase Annual Model Price Maintenance Bell and Howell 7000 $ 8,756.75 $ 778.00 (1PM) Canon MP680 $12,743.00 $1,295.00 Minolta RP607Z (Demo) $ 9,200.00 $1,104.00 (3PMs) These models include one zoom lens, a microfiche carrier, and a plain paper copier.

July 25, 1994 Mayor: Unfortunately, I am not able to attend the Trustees' Meeting on July 26. I did want to express my support for a topic of discussion on the agenda and hope to do so with this letter. I had the opportunity to discuss with Gary Klaphake on Saturday the possibility of a vote this November concerning funds collected by the Town and EPURA that are in excess of Amendment 1 limits. As you probably know, I am a supporter of the Amendment 1 limitations of government growth except by vote. I believe the program outlined to me is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the amendment. I especially like that the program will allow us to pursue the technical aspects of filing for a vote in a timely manner, that the categories of projects that the funds could be expended for are heavily weighted towards needs of the community versus wants, that there are no provisions for incurring additional debt and, most importantly, that it does not rush the board or town into selecting specific projects immediately but allows us the opportunity to hold open discussions on the priorities of the community. You have my support in directing the Town Administrator and his staff to pursue this matter. I look forward to the serious and lively discussion on the details of this program. Sincerely' k. >Il r\.PA Michael Miller, Trustee
