Gillette, David Habecker Mayor Dannels called the meeting to order at 7:32 P.M. and introduced Ralph and Polly Gunn who presented the premiere showing of "Remember the Children". The 15-minute documentary focused on the Childrens Center and Kreative Kids. Mayor Dannels acknowledged the School Board's attendance and commended Ms. Gunn for her significant involvement in the Center. Administrator Klaphake advised that when a video is completed, a copy will be submitted to the Division of Local Government (grant agency). In addition, this project may be submitted to CML for their Innovative Award Program. PUBLIC INPUT. Al Sager commented on the Light & Power 1/1/94 deadline whereby residential customers with electric space heat using over 20,000 kWh/yr. will no longer be provided the Residential Rate. The letter identified four options. Mr. Sager reported he had installed a demand controller and questioned how many demand controllers and thermal storage electric heaters have been ordered/installed in Town buildings. In light of the recent computer conversion and hand-held metering equipment, Mr. Sager took exception to and questioned the Town's philosophy in suggesting customers convert to natural gas. Administrator Klaphake reported that the Town has realized enormous cost -savings due to reducing peak loading, and that Mr. Sager's questions will be addressed during the February 10th Light & Power Committee meeting. Louis O'Riordan suggested the Childrens Center obtain copies of the "Remember the Children" slide presentation and sell them to assist in raising funds. In addition, Mr. O'Riordan addressed businesses outside Town limits benefiting from the Town's advertising efforts while they are not required to pay a business license fee, and repeal of the local food tax on groceries. Odd Lyngholm stated that with or without their consent, businesses inside Town limits collect the 4% local sales tax for the Town, and, if the business is a member of the Chamber the business receives referrals. A business located outside Town limits could be a Chamber member, receive referrals and is not subject to the collection of local sales tax or the fee for a business license. Those outside Town limits should pay their fair share, perhaps equal to 4% of their gross which would allow all businesses to "be on a level playing field." Mr. Lyngholm was advised the Town has no jurisdiction outside the Town limits. Richard Matzke, Light & Power Director verified on -peak and off- Board of Trustees - March 22, 1994 - Page 3 entire lot could be used for retail purposes, surrounding zoning, and whether the height variance applied to the entire site. Staff confirmed that the lot could be used for retail and that the owner may operate a small antique shop; however, any proposed retail use must meet Code requirements; surrounding zoning is R-S, Commercial and Estate; and the height variance is specific for this exclusive structure. The motion passed unanimously. 3. Liquor License - Transfer of Ownership from The Event Center, Inc., 470 Prospect Village Dr., to High Country Brewery, Inc., dba Estes Park Brewery at The Event Center, Hotel and Restaurant License. Clerk O'Connor reviewed the transfer request stating that the Applicant intends to add a micro - brewery. Both State and Federal agencies administer licensing for micro -breweries, and are allowed to wholesale and retail their product. It was moved and seconded (Dekker/Doylen) the Transfer of Ownership to High Country Brewery, Inc. be approved, and it passed unanimously. 4. Town Administrator's Report: A. Town/Chamber Fulfillment. Staff reported that pursuant to questions raised concerning the Town's role in advertising efforts and assurance that equal access is being offered, the Chamber Board and A/C Book Committee are proposing to fund postage costs for mailing the fulfillment packet. In a letter dated March 9, 1994, representatives from the Accommodations Association, Chamber of Commerce, and A/B Book Committee stated that, beginning January 1, 1995, said entities could assume the mailing costs with a provision that the funds being offset by this proposal be applied to the direct advertising portion of the Town's Advertising Budget to allow further promotion of the community, thus "strengthening the economic impact of their efforts." Administrator Klaphake stated that the fulfillment packet price is based upon unit prices, and that this proposal could be considered during budget preparation. Following discussion, it was moved and seconded (Hix/Doylen) the aforementioned letter be acknowledged, and that consideration will be given to this proposal during preparation of the 1995 Budget, and it passed unanimously. B. Administrator Klaphake reviewed a letter from LaRoy Seaver/Crossroads Ministry commending the Board for their low-cost housing project. C. Land Trust Activities - Administrator Klaphake and Pieter Hondius advised that the Estes Valley Land Trust has been working on a proposal to save the gateway located at Meadowdale Ranch. The Ranch borders U. S. Highway 36 to the south, approximately 4 miles east of Estes Park. The Forest Service has long sought this scenic eastern gateway as it is one of the preeminent wildlife habitats in the region. The Forest Service secured a public access easement across the Ranch in 1984 for $1.00. The purpose of this easement is to provide vehicular access to homestead Meadows. However, there is also public access to Homestead Meadows from U. S. Highway 36 via a foot and horse trail, known as the Lion Gulch Trail. The land owners, Candace Ammerman and Toni Brown are seeking to eliminate the threat of public access through their property, and have offered to convey a conservation easement if the Forest Service relinquishes its public access easement across the Ranch. As consideration for the relinquishment of the public access easement, the Comparison of 1994 and 1995 Advertising Budgets 11/16/94 Category 1994 Budget 1995 Budget Difference Advertising Media 272,628 281,744 9,116 Advertising Production 75,355 75,424 69 Advertising Projects 6,500 7,850 1,350 Ad Prog 354,483 365,018 10,535 Ad F-F 132,490 124,982 (7,508) Supplies 8,000 1,500 (6,500) Sal/Ben 51,168 52,960 1,792 Computer 3,500 3,500 Postage 23,860 23,860 TOTAL PROGRAM VALUE $546,141 $571,820 $25,679 Estes Park Telephone Inquiries Estes Park Advertising Program 80-7 70-7 60-7 u) 50-7 c u) 40-7 0 E 30--7 20-7 10-Z 0 1989 1991 1993 1990 1992 89-93 Total Year - 94 as of 10/31 1994 90 80 70 60 as 50 • 4 O 0 ~ 30 20 10 0 Estes Park Packet Requests Estes Park Advertising Program 1989 1991 1993 1990 1992 89-93 Total Year - 94 as of 10/31 1994 Private Sector Advertising Dollars R RETAIL ACCOM.
