Matzke~~,2-,9- Date: May 8,2002 Re: Rocky Mountain National Park Right of Way Permit BACKGROUND: Attached is a draft Right of Way Permit which gives the Town of Estes Park the right to own, operate, and maintain the electrical distribution system within Rocky Mountain National Park. This agreement includes Town-owned facilities which were covered under a previous permit and new facilities which have built under the improvement program with the Park which began in 1995. Also attached are modifications requested by Town staff and the Town Attorney. These modifications have been discussed with Park staff and we believe we are near agreement. The Park wishes to have the permit in place prior to the Town trimming trees in the vicinity of power lines in the Park. Tree trimming is a concern because of the current fire danger. BUDGET/COST: There is no anticipated budget impact arising from approval of this agreement. RECOMMENDATION: The Light and Power Department recommends that the Right of Way Permit be approved for the Mayor's signature subject to successful negotiation of these details with the Park.

Matzke~2- z.Â·,_ I)ate: May 8,2002 Re: Causeway Conduit Repairs Approve Repair Expenditure BACKGROUND: The Light and Power Department furnished approximately 17,000' of conduit for installation under the Lake Estes Trail along the north side of the causeway in conjunction with construction of that portion of the trail in 1997. Additionally, the Light and Power Department was billed $9,570 for installation of the conduit by the trail contractor. In April of this year, Light and Power crews discovered numerous breaks in the conduit during preparations for installing cable for the 2002 Meadowdale and Fish Creek circuits. The Light and Power Department received a proposal from R.C. Heath to remove sidewalk, excavate existing conduit, and replace sidewalk for approximately $9,436 for 1000 SF of sidewalk. The repairs are near complete and approximately 1500 SF total sidewalk has been replaced. BUDGET/COST: The 2002 budget includes $360,000 for construction ofthe Meadowdale and Fish Creek circuits. There should be adequate funding to complete this project within budget, including this repair cost. ($14,154) RECOMMENDATION: The Light and Power Department recommends approval ofthe sidewalk removal and replacement by R.C. Heath at cost of approximately $14,154.

We definitely like the warm gold light (high- pressure sodium). 4 Any streetlights should be star-friendly & if they aren't, they should be. 4 In my opinion [the ballot wording] is an editorial comment given in an apparent attempt to influence the vote in favor of the white light. As rebuttal - I like the warm glow of the yellow - especially during the summer months. * I would probably stick with the Candy Cane design and then replace as needed. Most people wouldn't notice a difference and the old lights look fine to me. 4= My friend, Meg, has the Towne Commons light outside her house in Minnesota and really likes it (as long as it works). 4 People need to look at them at night so they can see how the light is projected. 4 Thank you for asking. 4 My wife and I visit Estes Park for our vacations and we enjoy walking downtown in the evenings. The way the streets and shops are lit up by the lights make it a very special place to me in the evenings. A lot of communities forget that if they don't spend the extra money for the better lights it may cost them money in the long run. 4 Please advertise voting events better. Maybe signs on the doors of Safeway. 4 How about price comparisons, longevity of style (Will we be replacing again in 20 years?), convenience in regard to repair, replacing bulbs, etc., etc., etc. Aesthetically (and I'm an artist), #6 (the Cooper) as it is displayed is best! 4 I prefer the look of the Towne Commons fixture, however, I prefer the light pollution reduction qualities of the Candy Cane style. 1 also prefer the fluted pole, however, the Candy Cane should receive the smooth pole. The sodium bulb is definitely the way to go. Warmer light and not as harsh. 4 Keeping to a similar style as we have now in both pole design and type of bulb will make the transition less obvious as we replace any fixture failures. Besides, I like the Candy Cane style and the warm glow of the sodium! 4 Fluted poles look nice. I visit Estes a week or two each year and am a Rams Horn Timeshare owner. 4 Prismasphere does not look like it would restrict upward dispersion of light, which is a high priority to me. Minimum effective wattage and density should be used! * I like the look of the yellow light, but do not know which is the most efficient. 4 The short skirts are too easy to stand on. 4 Thanks for asking! 4 I live in the Crags and can see a real bright glare from the lights with the metal halide. It's TOO bright! 46 White light too harsh, light polluting. Living in the Crags the "white" lights are too harsh and glaring. The yellow is soft and pleasant. 4 I like the present ones, so please keep lots of spare parts. 4 We hope this doesn't cost like our stone sign. 4 Thanks for letting us be a part of choosing "the light." You might want to use some of the existing lights to replace lights in the outer parts of town (like Highway until you are able to replace all old existing lights. 4 Thanks for allowing us to have a vote. 4* I really appreciate that you are making the effort to offer night-sky friendly (low light pollution) lighting for Estes Park. It is one of the few Front Range communities that one can still clearly see the Milky Way at night from. The Solitaire light seems to do the most efficient job of directing light downward without causing light trespass to nearby areas. Thanks! 4 Thanks for giving us some input. 4 We very much liked Cooper, but when we saw it at night it seemed to have a yellow light in it - we very much prefer the white light. 4 I like the lights we have. Find a new supplier or a company that will make them to our specs. 4 Yellow or white light depends upon which has less light pollution. 4 Bravo on the Bond Park display. * Thanks for the opportunity to vote. I wonder why you would have an option like #4 which doesn't seem to be "night-sky friendly." * Thank you to our town government for respecting the citizens' voice in choice! 4 Metal halide bulbs are brighter lights which will make the city safer, especially for older folks out for evening walks. Even though they are only 40 percent of the life of high-pressure sodium. 4 Why not replace 1/2 the Old style and use them for parts for the other F2 ? 4 I am heartened that you have light pollution as a major consideration. Having lived in EP for more than 50 years, the change in the sky scene has been dramatic, and has reduced the scope of sky watching in EP. 4 What's the matter with what we have now? 4 I think the city should consider a vintage look for the lights to accent the unique look of the Estes Park downtown area. 4 Sodium lights give a soft glow, but adequate lighting. Candy Cane fixture points down, avoiding excess light pollution. 4 The Candy Cane lights are unique in Estes and always have been. "If it ain't broke - why fix it?" Keep the Candy Cane style lights. 4. Yellow glow of lights neat looking at night; not harsh. Need yellow and fixture that doesn't cause light pollution. 4. I feel the most important consideration in choosing new lights is our wonderful night sky. We don't want light pollution. 4 There was a letter to the editor of the Trail-Gazette regarding his ideas about the current lights. I thought the article (letter) made some good points. You should read it carefully and try to save some money. 4 Whatever is sturdiest and can we re-use present poles? 4 Car color is not as important to me as to the police. I would prefer whichever has the least "spillage" - shows least from a distance or above. 4 Great job! Thanks for the opportunity! 4 If possible, reduce to one candy cane instead of two to help. reduce fixture and electrical costs. 4 Use the ones we have now! 4 Please, please, please - keep the light rays down to the ground. Keep the light pollution at a minimum. Part of the beauty of Estes is our beautiful night sky! 4 Thanks for the opportunity to give input in this decision. Our lights are so charming I hope we can have the same design. 4 Low watt bulbs - not so bright!!! Respect the night sky!!! Keep the light shielded down. And what's wrong with the current ones? 4 Candy Cane with fluorescent bulbs not metal halide. 4 I appreciate the opportunity to vote. However, most of these lights do not illuminate the ground nearly as well as the current lights. 1 believe the EP Engineering Department should select the appropriate lights, based upon their expert understanding of illumination needs and good value. 4 I prefer white light so the area is lit for safety. Also, the cap on #5 prevents the light from going up to the sky, but directs it on the ground. 4 None of the above; least offensive is #9 (Candy Cane). Which is cheapest? Do we need new poles? 4 None of the above, but # 9 is least offensive. Absolutely high- pressure sodium and low wattage. 4 Thank you for requesting input on this project!

Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Mr. Widmer: We are very interested in the "Show us the Light" campaign to select new streetlights for the town. The approach you are taking to solicit public input is greatly appreciated. Members of the park staff have viewed the various streetlights that are on display in Bond Park during daylight hours as well as at night. Allowing the public to see the actual light fixtures is a wonderful idea. Our comments are focused on protecting the night sky from light trespass, which has been a topic of great interest to us for several years. We addressed night sky protection in our 1998 Related Lands Evaluation. Larry Gamble of my staff was a technical advisor to the Estes Valley Planning Commission as the new Estes Valley Development Code was being developed in 1999. Protection of the night sky was an important consideration for us as the Development Code was being crafted, and we were pleased that a section on exterior lighting was incorporated in the final document. We believe that the streetlight models that will best protect the night sky are #1 Gaslight and #7 Solitaire. We prefer the looks of the Gaslight. The other models are less successful at night sky protection. From our perspective, the #4 primasphere will create light trespass and does not conform to the Estes Valley Development Code. We do not have any comments to offer on the style ofpole that is used. Finally, as you consider what type of light bulb to use, please consider using a color corrected high- pressure sodium bulb. These bulbs emit light that is similar to the incandescent light bulbs we use in our homes. It is a warm light that we believe is best suited to the "feel" of downtown Estes Park. Uncorrected high pressure sodium bulbs emit an unnatural color of light, and metal halide bulbs, while emitting white light, tend to be garish. Thank you for considering our comments. Sincerely, A P i)-4- r. 4 ~Â»2<4~Kilâ€žAlâ‚¬ d Anthony J. Schetzsle Acting Superintendent From The Desk of Al Sager April 20,2002 Estes Park Light & Power, I was pleased to read the comments offered by Edward A. Hallbach, MS, in the Estes Park Trail Gazette, (pg. 4 Friday April 19, 2002), regarding the effort of the Municipal Ught & Power Department to get public opinion for a choice of new street lights. (copy inclosed). Mr. Hallbach has demonstrated a sensible approach to choosing new street lights. Jhe variety of choices, nine, (imagine that?), with alternating. possibilities, straight, tapered, round, fluted poles---tall, short skirts---and a choice of color emitted from the light source, ie; yellow vs. white. In. my opinion (and we all must admit, everyone has a right to his/her opinion) not all of those choises are equally practical. Are they? Why be practical? Why not be practical? Each of those choices offered will cost the same amount, or do they? Will each choice withstand an equal amount of wear & tear, bumps, scratches, impact? Lets be practical, one or more certainly will weather abuse better than some of the others, won't they? How much electricity will be consumed by these different styles, ie: white vs. yellow. Are they both exactly the same? Why not choose one that offers the least amount ofÂ· maintanence, the easiest to assemble & or change if damaged, and they will get damaged ! Again I'm suggesting lets be practical, because over a period of time the cost of maintahence will add up to a considerable sum ! The color, ie: white vs. yellow. We already have set a precedent most all our lights throughout the town are yellow, right? In my opinion a good choice of color. (once adain 1 emphasize everyone has a right to his/her opinion).Â· The'muted, shielded, warm glow of our existing yellow lights are pleasing.and cause little.or no offsite glare. That also is in MY opinion a very worthwhile goal to strive for ih our community. Asking for public opinion for choice of lights is a.hubtle way to ask for response from constituents, but a practical approval must come from those in charge.Â· Hopfully you will choose wisely taking into account the cost both now and into the future and a reasonable consistancy during the transition with new lights that aren't all that much different from what we already have ! (The suggested distortion of color does not affect red-green,stop-go traffic signal lights, so that should be of no concern). The "Candy Cane", "round pole", "high pressure sodium light" will allow the transition period from old to new be more consistant and be less obvious, least disruptive, and the least noticable to all those who might pay attention.

As several letters in the Trail-Gazette have very clearly stated, the proposed lights are even more light-polluting that the existing lights. To make a change, and to invest what appears to be a lot of money, in something that is not an improvement doesn't seem to be a step in the right direction. It seems that we haven't decided what it is we want the street lights for - to light the street for safety in walking? to light the better part of downtown - sides of buildings, trees, etc. for whatever reason? The proposed lights all have so much sidewise glare, and were so bright, that they were actually irritating to our eyes. And some of the fixtures are so poorly designed that there are actually dark areas on the ground around the poles. In these days of energy conservation, it would make sense to save the town some money by using lower wattage bulbs and focusing the light more carefully where it is needed and/or wanted. We would be glad to fund a membership in the Dark Sky Association for the town or some of the staff if no one is currently a member. This is an international association that partners with lighting designers and manufacturers to put some sense into outdoor lighting and reduce the wasted light and energy that has occurred for so many years. It would be quite sensible if the town could work with one of these enlightened manufacturers instead of the folks who designed the fancy "barnyard " lights that are on display in Bond Park. Thanks for your attention to our comments. 4 I , ' I I d , 3 1 1 0 /1 *. i J -*/ j -il-'/LMÂ£/U: Pl L...U,u.O 1.,U" - ...i.=~ ,4 tS:>+4,4.t'LÂ·/' ~I'ER,Ut0'y-7,4.4* Donna Shavlik Frank Shavlik Muni Memo In 1991, the Town of Estes Park formed a committee comprised of staff and elected officials to investigate a growing problem: maintaining the downtown area's decorative streetlights. In addition to the difficulty of obtaining replacement parts for the lights and poles, an increasing awareness of stray light and inefficient lighting formed the foundation for the group's discussions. It was the committee's recommendation that the Town begin phasing out the old lights in a multi-year project, beginning with the construction ofRiverwalk West. But where should Town officials begin and how can they involve the public in the streetlight selection process? Last fall, Richard Matzke, director of the Town's Light and Power Department, came up with a plan. Nine different streetlights have now been installed near the Municipal Building, eight are in Bond Park and one stands directly in front of the Municipal Building along Elkhorn Avenue. The poles are numbered at the base and soon will also feature signs next to each light featuring the name and number ofthe particular style. Each of them features a different style head, and the Town is inviting area residents to offer their opinions about which fixtures they like best. For those who like the existing lights, the example by the Municipal Building is very similar to the "Candy Cane" lights currently gracing Estes Park' s downtown streets. All of the lights displayed include optics built into the fixtures that will minimize stray light and enhance illumination on the ground below. In that vein, before reaching a decision, it is important for those voting to venture downtown after dark to see the lights when they are actually illuminated. In addition to the streetlight heads, area residents are also offered a variety of options when it comes to the poles (round or fluted; straight or tapered; tall or short skin; glossy or matte finish), as well as the type of bulb that will be used (high-pressure sodium - yellow, or metal halide - white).

REM Prepared 7/7/2002 , 1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK Office Memorandum To: The Honorable Mayor Baudek and Board of Trustees From: Richard E. Matzke;tÂ£9- I)ate: July 10, 2002 Re: Dry Gulch Road Underground Replacement Approve Expenditure Request BACKGROUND: During design and construction of the extension ofunderground electric facilities to serve the Good Sam project, Light and Power Staff negotiated construction of additional trench and conduit to allow replacement of 880' of direct buried 1/0 AWG Aluminum cable with 4/0 AWG Aluminum cable installed in PCV conduit. The trench was not required for the line extension but will provide for improvement of the Town's existing distribution system and removal of 880' of direct buried cable. The developer's contractor installed the additional trench and we have received an invoice for $9,165.00 from Cornerstone Engineering for the installation. BUDGET/COST: This project was not specifically funded in the 2002 budget, but there is a line item of $15,000 for miscellaneous underground projects. The estimated cost on the line extension for the Good Sam project is approximately $100,000. RECOMMENDATION: The Good Sam project presented an opportunity to improve the distribution system on Dry Gulch Road at a reasonable cost. The Light and Power Department requests approval of this expenditure. REM 1-1 TOWN OF ESTES PARK Office Memorandum To: The Honorable Mayor Baudek and Board of Trustees From: Richard E. Matzke' /C,D-- I)ate: July 10, 2002 Re: Long Range Underground Projects Draft Priority List BACKGROUND: The Town of Estes Park has replaced numerous overhead electric lines with underground facilities. These underground projects have included EPURA projects, CDOT highway improvement projects, joint projects with developers, and projects initiated by the Town of Estes Park. We have developed a draft list of existing lines that could be replaced with underground facilities and result in greatly improved views along major highways. Some of these projects would result in improved capacity and reliability but many have only aesthetic value. The Light and Power Department plans to refine this list and include cost estimates for the August Light and Power Committee Meeting. The Light and Power Department would like to receive suggestions for other undergrounding projects from the Trustees as well as guidance on the prioritization of these projects. BUDGET/COST: The purpose for developing this list is to provide input for the budget process. After determining approximate project costs, an economically feasible timetable can be recommended. The highest priority projects will be recommended for the 2003/2004 budget. RECOMMENDATION: The Light and Power Department recommends that the following list (along with other suggested projects, cost estimates, and priority rankings) be presented at the August Light and Power Committee Meeting for consideration.
