Board of Trustees – June 24, 2025 – Page 3
1.ORDINANCE 08-25 REZONING 685 PEAK VIEW DRIVE FROM E-1 (ESTATE) TO
R (SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL), FRANK THEIS, CMS PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT, INC., (OWNER-APPLICANT) DAVID EMERSON, HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY OF THE ST. VRAIN VALLEY/APPLICANT. Mayor Hall opened the
public hearing and Planner Hornbeck presented an application for a proposed Zoning
Map Amendment (rezoning) from E-1 (Estate) to R (Single-Family Residential) for the
4.46-acre site that contains a single residence built in 1965. The conceptual
subdivision plan has twelve residential lots ranging in size from 9,000 to 18,000 square
feet. He identified the site as being outside of all mapped hazard areas including
flood, fire, and geologic; however, the site was previously identified as an important
wildlife habitat area per the 1996 Comprehensive Plan wildlife map. It was noted the
property was annexed with the Dannels Addition in 1954 with R-1 zoning with a
minimum lot size of 9,000 square feet per single family dwelling, increased in 1972 to
18,000 square feet, and down-zoned again in 2000 to a less intense zoning of E-1,
which requires one acre (43,560 square feet) minimum lot size per dwelling unit. He
stated the application complies with the relevant standards and criteria set forth in the
Estes Park Development Code (EPDC) and addressed changes in conditions related
to 264% increase in home prices; the cost burden of renters with households paying
more than 30% of gross income toward housing; the proposed development would be
compatible and consistent with the policies and intent of the Estes Forward
Comprehensive Plan and existing growth and development patterns in the area; and
adequate utilities exist to serve the future proposed development. The proposed
rezoning has received numerous public comments opposing the rezoning with
comments including a lack of a change in conditions, incompatible with the
neighborhood character and density, concern with the environmental impact related
to drainage, wildlife, and wildfire risk, increase in traffic, an illegal spot zoning, and the
proposed homes would not be affordable. Staff’s response to the comments including
the fact that changes in adopted plans and policies has occurred since the last zoning
in 2000; the area in not mapped within a high fire danger; traffic memo indicates no
adverse traffic impacts are anticipated; case law indicates rezoning in conformance
with adopted land use policies, such as the Comprehensive Plan; would not be
considered spot zoning; the proposed development is 2.6 units per acre and
compatible with the development in the adjacent neighborhood; and the applicant has
volunteered to record deed restrictions on eight (8) of the properties at 80 – 115%
AMI. The Estes Park Planning Commission recommended the rezoning to the Town
Board at their June 17, 2025 meeting with conditions of approval.
David Emerson/Habitat for Humanity noted the organization develops homeownership
properties for indiviudals in the 80% AMI; have not had foreclosures; operate as the
builder and mortgage holder for the properties; 84% of homeowners remain in their
Habitat homes and grown in their homes; the individuals are vetted, stay in their
homes, and become a part of the community; and Habitat has a contract to purchase
the lots from the owner/developer.
Public comment in opposition of the rezoning application was heard from Mark
Hewitt/County resident, Dana Fritz/Town resident, Christy Jacobs/Town resident,
Stephanie Pawson/Town resident, Jed Eide/Town resident, Christann Higley/Town
resident, Larry Bader/Town resident, Laura Rustin/Town resident, Steve Wende/Town
resident, Norma McKern/County resident, Don Smith/County resident, Kristin
Poppitz/County resident, and Rebecca Urquhart/Town resident. Those opposing
stated there had not been a change in conditions in the Peak View area; stated a
rezoning to R – Residential high density zoning would be spot zoning; the plan
presented was poorly conceived; the rezoning and proposed plan would damage the
character and quality of the adjoining properties; concern the applicant has involved
Habitat Humanity to gain support for the project; concern the density of housing would
increase the fuel load in the area during a wildfire; the density would increase the
difficulty in evacuating the area in the case of an emergency; expressed concern with
the impact on the wildlife; the proposal would not be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan; the rezoning does not meet the criteria set forth in the
Development Code; a previous Town Board rejected the rezoning application; and
noted the scale and intensity of use should be compatible with the neighborhood.

Board of Trustees – June 24, 2025 – Page 4
Those speaking in favor of the rezoning included Dan and Sara Barwinski/Town
residents, Scott Moulton/Town resident and Estes Park Housing Authority Executive
Director, and Jon Bryson/Town resident. Those speaking in favor stated support for
Habitat for Humanity; noted the proposal would provide young families with the ability
to own a home; advances the goals of the Comprehensive Plan; creates stable homes
in the community; stated the proposal was the change of condition from the 2023
proposal and the development of attainable housing; the plan creates an opportunity
for homeownership in the valley; housing at the price point proposed continues to be
difficult and critical to the community; and the proposal would change families lives.
Board comments and question were heard and have been summarized: questioned
the realistic timeframe for buildout of the eight attainable lots; questioned what
bindsHabitat for Humanity to the project; a condition of approval would deed restrict
eight (8) lots for attainable housing; commented middle income housing has not been
built for those wanting a starter home; stated concern that the proposal would be used
as justification for a change in conditions; noted the development would provide
diversity of housing and community within the area; the newly adopted
Comprehensive Plan should not be disregarded as the process allowed for public
engagement and involvement by a community led committee; the density of the
property to the west of the proposed development was noted as similar; zoning should
not be considered static; the rezoning of the valley in 2000 was completed by
reviewing the current land use at the time and did not consider the future use of the
properties; and the Board should balance the property rights of the developer and the
adjacent developed properties.
Dave Emerson/Habitat for Humanity stated a purchase and sells agreement has been
entered into with the developer for the eight (8) lots with the condition the developer
completes the approval/entitlements within two (2) years. A deed restriction would be
executed within 60 days of approval of the rezoning to ensure the lots remain
attainable and could only be removed by future action of the Board.
It was moved and seconded (Hazelton/Younglund) to extend the meeting past
10:00 p.m. to complete the agenda, and it passed unanimously.
Mayor Hall closed the public hearing and it was moved and seconded
(Younglund/Hazelton) to approve Ordinance 08-25, and it passed with Mayor Hall
and Trustee Igel voting “No”.
Mayor Hall called a break at 10:00 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:10 p.m.
2. ORDINANCE 09-25 AMENDING SECTION 5.3 OF THE ESTES PARK
DEVELOPMENT CODE REGARDING VEHICLE BASED ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR SEASONAL EMPLOYEES. Mayor Hall opened the public hearing and Planner
Washam presented the ordinance that would extend the one-year pilot program and
amend the access requirements for electric and water connections from the program,
in order to allow qualified individuals to use an RV or similar vehicle as a temporary
dwelling unit on private commercial property pursuant to the Estes Park Development
Code section 5.3.D.7. The initial pilot program was approved by the Town Board
through the approval of Ordinance 06-24 in April 9, 2024 with the program ending
October 31, 2024. Inquiries were received but no applications were submitted citing
“full hookups” as a limitation. The pilot program was extended with the approval of
Ordinance 04-25 on April 8, 2025 with the Board directing staff to consider removing
the requirement for water and electric connections for eligible vehicles to allow self-
contained vehicles and increasing options for potential applicants. The proposed
ordinance would remove the requirements and extend the VBASE program through
October 31, 2026. Mayor Hall closed the public hearing. It was moved and seconded
(Igel/Brown) to approve Ordinance 09-25, and it passed unanimously.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. ORDINANCE 07-25 PROPOSED ELECTRIC RATE INCREASE. Mayor Hall
reconvened the public hearing that was continued on June 10, 2025. Meghan Helper
DRA
F
T
Board of Trustees – June 24, 2025 – Page 5
presented the rate study reviewed at the previous Town Board meeting. Bill
Urquhart/Town resident stated he heard from customers praise for the utility’s
response, noted prices are too high, and the utility continues to make too much profit.
He noted building confidence in the utility and addressing the concerns requires
consistency with best industry practice and reasonableness. Mayor Hall closed the
public hearing. It was moved and seconded (Hazelton/Brown) to approve
Ordinance 07-25, and it passed unanimously.
2. RESOLUTION 66-25 MAKING CERTAIN FINDINGS OF FACT REGARDING THE
PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF ELKHORN LODGE PHASE II TO THE TOWN OF
ESTES PARK. Mayor Hall opened the public hearing. Planner Hornbeck stated the
annexation was referred to the Town Board on March 25, 2025 and found to be in
substantial compliance at the Town Board meeting on May 13, 2025. He presented
Resolution 66-25 to determine if the Elkhorn Lodge Phase II would be eligible for
annexation, determine compliance of the annexation petition submitted, and make
certain findings of fact related thereto in accordance with the Municipal Annexation
Act and Colorado Constitution to proceed to an annexation and zoning hearing. Staff
has completed a review of the annexation application and has found it meets the
criteria. Katlin Reeves/County resident questioned the urbanization of the property
and how it meets the state statute to be annexed. She noted the RE-1 zoning district
has been designated in the Development Code to preserve the rural character of the
property, and therefore, does not meet the requirements for annexation. Mayor Hall
closed the public hearing. It was moved and seconded (Hazelton/Cenac) to approve
Resolution 66-25, and it passed unanimously.
3. RESOLUTION 67-25 2045 TRANSPORTATION PLAN. Manager Klein stated the
Town Board approved a contract with Kimley-Horn to prepare a Multimodal
Transportation Plan (MTP) and Transit Development Plan (TDP) to guide the
implementation of projects to create a transportation network that integrates all modes
of travel addressing safety, equity, and ease of navigation. The plan provides a list of
prioritized projects addressing vehicular, active transportation, and transit mobility.
The MTP would guide the Town’s mobility and circulation for the next 20 years. The
TDP performed a comprehensive needs-based evaluation of The Peak system and
provided recommendations for transit service enhancement for the next five (5) years.
It was moved and seconded (Younglund/Cenac) to approve Resolution 67-25, and
the motion passed unanimously.
4. RESOLUTION 68-25 AMENDMENT TO THE 2005 CONTINENTAL WATER BANK
INC., WATER LEASE AGREEMENT. Director Bergsten and Special Counsel White
outlined the Town’s Windy Gap water has been used as replacement water for the
surrounding area, including Glacier View, Saddle Notch Ranch, Mary’s Lake
Campground, Cheley Camp, and the Idlewild Water Users Association. To comply
with state water law as it relates to replacement water, individual well owners would
each need to secure replacement water and acquire a water court-approved
augmentation plan, a financially unfeasible burden for smaller properties. The
Continental Water Bank (CWB) provides smaller properties with the ability to meet
their replacement water obligations. The 2005 Water Lease Agreement provides CWB
with a supply of replacement water. The agreement would include an annual fee to
cover administrative costs, an annual lease payment to the Town, the temporary
transfer of six (6) Colorado-Big Thompson (C-BT) units from the company to the Town,
and require a CWB property to annex upon the request of the Town or upon the
property being provided water service by the Town. It was moved and seconded
(Lancaster/Hazelton) to approve Resolution 68-25, and it passed unanimously.
5. ORDINANCE 10-25 LAND LEASE WITH PLATTE RIVER POWER AUTHORITY
(PRPA) FOR LOT 4, ELM ROAD 2ND ADDITION. Mayor Hall opened the public
hearing. Director Bergsten stated Platte River Power Authority (PRPA), the Town’s
municipally owned wholesale power and transmission provider, requires a utility-scale
battery site in Estes Park. The project would support PRPA’s Resource Diversification
Policy to decarbonize the electric generation while maintaining or improving reliability.
The undeveloped Town owned site connects to the Town’s electric supply station,
making it ideal for battery infrastructure. The property would be leased to PRPA who
DRA
F
T
Board of Trustees – June 24, 2025 – Page 6
would then sublease it to a private partner able to leverage federal tax credits to
reduce the project’s total cost. Town Board comments and questions were heard and
summarized: questioned the number of batteries that would be included; whether a
development plan would be needed and would the lease be contingent on the
development plan; esthetics would be a concern as Moraine leads to the entrance of
Rocky Mountain National Park; concern was heard on the visibility of the site and the
environmental impacts; questioned the value of the land; questioned if other Town
owned properties were considered; and noted the importance of continuity of power
and a stable foundation of power. Mayor Hall closed the public hearing. It was moved
and seconded (Hazelton/Brown) to approve Ordinance 10-25, and it passed
unanimously.
Whereupon Mayor Hall adjourned the meeting at 11:12 p.m.

Absent: Town Attorney Kramer
Mayor Hall called the meeting to order at 3:40 p.m.
STATE WILDFIRE CODE. The Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire
Prevention and Control, through establishment of a Wildfire Resiliency Code Board,
would be adopting the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code on June 30, 2025 establishing
minimum standards for the protection of life and property from the hazards of wildfire.
Municipalities would have nine months (March 31, 2026) from State adoption to adopt
their own wildfire regulations meeting or exceeding those established in the Code.
Director Careccia introduced Dan Wester/SAFEbuilt Chief Building Official, Jon
Landkamer/Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD) Division Chief and Stacey
Sutherland/EVFPD Prevention Lieutenant who were present to answer quesitons.
Division Chief Landkamer reviewed the draft Code which addressed: establishing a
code official to administer and enforce the Code; permits required for applicable
construction; would establish criteria for the submittal and preparation of construction
documents; identify wildfire hazard areas via official maps; regulations for structure
hardening to reduce risk of ignition; and establish requirements for plantings, trees,
walls, and fences within designated ignition zones around structures. He stated the
Town of Estes Park and the EVFPD act as a compliance agency and would be
responsible for identifying which hazard map to adopt. If adopted, the Code would
supersede the adopted International Building Code and would require evaluations and
compliance on construction and alterations for new, existing, and moved structures and
their appendices which reside within the designated Wildland Urban Interface (WUI)
areas.
Board comments and questions have been summarized: requested additional detail on
the provisions for alterations of the exterior of the structure, the process for obtaining
approval, and from which agency; how wildfire risks are identified and by which
agencies; requested clarification on which areas are identified as high-risk; questioned if
there are price comparisons for the use of specific non-combustible material;
questioned fencing which contains a percentage of combustible material may be
impacted by the Code; how testing of materials would be conducted; how homeowners
insurance companies may be mandating compliance with the Code; and questioned if
staff anticipates sections where the wildfire code and building code conflict with each
other.
BUSINESS VIEWPOINT. Brownfield’s Manager Palmesano spoke regarding Estes
Park’s unique location, hospitality, visitation, nature and the lasting impacts of a positive
customer experience. There being no Board questions, they thanked Manager
Palmesano for the presentation, her observations and perspective on the customer
experience.

POLICE DEPARTMENT FACILITY UPDATE. Staff provided a status update on efforts
to relocate the Police Department (PD) out of Town Hall. In late 2024, the Town
contracted with Redstone Architects Inc. and Infusion Architects to conduct a pre-design
study to identify programmatic and space needs, and evaluate potential sites which
involved engagement with the Town and PD leadership. The pre-design study included
a space needs analysis, review of potential locations, conceptual floor and site plans,
and cost projections. Chief Stewart provided facility project goals and objectives
including: identify a central location which optimizes response to critical infrastructure
such as schools, special events, and downtown; a safe and secure facility with public
and secure separations for both the building and the site; safe and welcoming
environment for staff and the community; opportunity to expand services and
community outreach events; and a modern state of the art facility would address
retention and recruitment while providing space for the public and the department for
public purposes. Staff noted the existing space and uses in Town Hall which was
estimated at 7,644 square feet. Melissa Jennings and Randal Johnson, design
consultants, reviewed the space analysis and the method for determining square
footage, identifying efficient use of essential space and options for a single or multi-story
building. Finance Director Zimmerman reviewed construction cost of a 30,000 square
foot facility with anticipated construction in 2027 at $31,359,000, with a total project cost
of approximately $33 million with land acquisition and financing cost. The annual debt
service would be dependent on the financing option and has been estimated at
approximately $2,230,788 - $2,245,675. A comparative analysis of neighboring
municipalities PD relocations was reviewed including: staff size, square footage, and
financing for Timnath, Windsor, Evans, Firestone, and Erie. Staff stated the Town does
not have funds appropriated for land acquisition, relocation, or construction of a new
facility. Staff stated the use of current sales tax revenues or certificates of participation
(COPs) would not require a ballot issue presented to registered voters. Alternative
methods for financing could include a new or increased sales tax, or a general
obligation bond funded by property tax. Both options would require a ballot issue
presented to registered voters. Based on ongoing impacts and challenges the current
PD facility poses to the professional management and execution of law enforcement
responsibilities, staff recommended a bond authorization ballot issue at the April 2026
Municipal Election or General Election on November 4, 2026. Staff requested Board
feedback and guidance on the proposed financing and ballot timeline for the
construction of a new facility.
Board comments and questions have been summarized: concerned the facility may
need to be increased to address future needs; questioned the availability of grants to
offset costs; questioned if staff anticipates changes to sales tax revenues that may
impact the project; and could the PD building qualify as the collateral for COPs.
Additional discussion ensued regarding recent state legislation that provides fire districts
the ability to pursue sales tax to fund operations, potentially lower sales tax rates for the
larger district service area, and eliminate the Town’s sales tax allocation to fund
operations.
TRUSTEE & ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS & QUESTIONS.
None.
FUTURE STUDY SESSION AGENDA ITEMS.
It was requested and determined the Business Use of Golf Carts on Trails would be
handed over to the Transportation Advisory Board for public input to be presented as a
Report & Discussion Item at a future meeting, and the Visit Estes Park
Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County; and a Joint Study Session with the
EVFPD were approved/unscheduled.

Colorado Creative Industries Designation!
Our Goal is to obtain the CCI Designation as a Certified Arts District in 2025. This
would give Estes Park the recognition and benefits that come with this
designation. We will be one of the unique arts communities that contributes to
our state’s economy through creativity, culture, and the arts. The program’s goal
is to help communities increase jobs, incomes, and investments in creative
places.
Colorado Creative Districts attract artists and creative entrepreneurs to a
community, infusing new energy and innovation, which in turn enhances the
economic and civic capital of the community. Districts also serve as a focal point
for celebrating and strengthening a community’s unique identity, become a
space to showcase cultural and artistic organizations and events, and contribute
to the development of vibrant communities.
CCI Designation!
Benefits of the program include:
•A cash award of up to $10,000 for newly certified districts (local match required)
•A technical and professional assistance fund available to districts that have
been certified for one or more years (local match required)
•A marketing strategy developed in partnership with the Colorado Tourism
Office to support tourism and bring Colorado’s Creative Districts to a national
audience
•Support in developing and pitching content and news about how creativity is
changing Colorado through the work of creative districts
•Two highway signs placed on state highways near districts
•Access to statewide economic data on the impact of creative districts

Stanley Holding, LLC dba The Stanley Hotel. The applicant is requesting a transfer of
the license and submitted a complete application to the Town Clerk’s office on May 15,
2025, and a temporary permit was issued May 15, 2025. The temporary permit
authorizes the transferee to continue the sale of alcohol as permitted under the current
license while the application to transfer ownership of the license is pending. The
applicant submitted all necessary paperwork and fees and has previously completed
TIPS training.
Proposal:
The Town Board to review and consider the application to transfer the existing license
to Stanley Partnership for Art Culture and Education LLC dba The Stanley Hotel.

operating an existing, liquor-licensed establishment without an interruption of service to
its clientele.

licensed business during the licensing process
Action Recommended:
Approval to transfer the existing Hotel & Restaurant liquor license to Stanley
Partnership for Art Culture and Education LLC dba The Stanley Hotel.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The fee paid to the Town of Estes Park for a Hotel & Restaurant liquor license transfer

background checks, and business licensing. In addition, the renewal fee payable to the
Town for a Hotel & Restaurant liquor license is $869 per year.

petition to be circulated. Upon approval of the form of the petition, the Town Clerk
contacted the Larimer County Elections Office and determined the total registered
electors within Estes Park. State statute 31-11-104 requires a petition to be signed by at
least 5% of the registered electors; the total number of signatures required was
established at 246.
On May 16, 2025, the Town Clerk received 43 signed petition sections containing 405
signatures. The Town Clerk reviewed the signatures to verify the registration of the
individual against the voter registration list supplied to the Town by the Larimer County
Elections Office. A preliminary statement of sufficiency was issued on June 13, 2025
certifying the petition was signed by 5% or 246 registered voters within the Town of Estes
Park.
Total number of signatures submitted: 405
Total number of signatures reviewed 405
Total number of signatures rejected: 144
Total number of signatures accepted: 261
Number of signatures required: 246
Pursuant to 31-11-110 CRS, a 40-day protest period is provided from the date the
petition was submitted (May 16, 2025), and if no protest of the initiated ordinance
petition is received within the 40-days (June 25, 2025), a final determination of petition
sufficiency is established.
Proposal:
Per 31-11-104 (1) CRS, the Board of Trustees within 20 days from the final statement of
sufficiency (June 25, 2025) must either: (1) adopt, without alteration, the citizen initiated
ordinance as proposed, Ordinance 11-25, or (2) refer the Initiated Ordinance to the
registered electors of the municipality to an election no less than 60 days (August 24,
2025) and not more than 150 days (November 22, 2025) days.
If the Board refers the ordinance to an election, staff has determined the only viable
option would be to join the coordinate general election on November 4, 2025. This is
due to a number of factors including the need for 90 days (on or after October 7, 2025)
to conduct a special mail ballot election and the statutory requirement limiting special
elections from occurring within 32 days before or after a general election in November
(on or before September 30, 2025).
Advantages:
None.
Disadvantages:
None.
Action Recommended:
Staff does not have a recommendation as this is a legislative action requiring Town
Board direction.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The Town would incur the cost to codify the ordinance if passed by the Town Board
which is minimal and funds for codification are budgeted annually.
Staff has discussed joining the general election in November with the Larimer County
Election offices and have received an estimate of approximately $6,000 to $20,000
pending if the State and/or the County have questions on the ballot.
Level of Public Interest:
Medium. There has been an increase interest in development related issues as well as
engagement from Preserve Estes Park.
Sample Motions:
Motion #1
I move to adopt Ordinance 11-25.
Motion #2 if applicable (If the Ordinance is not adopted the following motion needs to be
made.)
I move to approve Resolution 70-25 referring Initiated Ordinance 11-25 to the
coordinated general election on November 4, 2025.

To say we were disappointed by the Town Board vote on June 24
regarding the rezoning of 685 Peak View is an understatement. The
overwhelming majority were opposed to this rezoning, but that didn’t
matter then, and perhaps the opinion of the impacted citizens within
Estes Park will never matter again on issues like this. Look at the recent
history of such requests to increase density and you’ll see that increasing
density, allegedly because of the “need” (maybe more greed!) has won
the day.
In the case of rezoning 685 Peak View, those in favor of the rezoning
mostly represented special interests in Habitat for Humanity (don’t get
us wrong, we’re not anti-Habitat at all), or more work with the
developer, while those opposed lived in the affected area of the proposed
rezoning. I know we all have our own “spin” on these issues, but the
“Habitat for Humanity”, and “Change is Hard” plea that apparently
convinced the Board to approve the change brings to mind what is really
hard. Yes, change is hard, but the hard change in this case would have
been to deviate from the local, state and national trend that increased
density is better, that these small changes are “acceptable”. The easy
thing was to change the affected area forever with a vote to approve the
change in zoning and increase density beyond the current zoning and
long history. It’s happening everywhere. Little impacts on the
environment, traffic, wildlife patterns, drainage, etc. can easily be
rationalized to further solve the “need” (greed). That seems to be a
rather short-range perspective when a long-range perspective is what’s
needed for the long term good of this land we live on. The incremental
changes go on, and on, until the point that things get bad. At that point
does saying “Oh shucks, we’ve gone too far!” make a difference? It’s
the slippery slope thing, and we’re rapidly headed down it.
Which brings us to the upcoming ballot initiative that the Town Board
will consider at their next meeting. These initiatives are an attempt to
put a little power back in the hands of the landowners most affected by
proposed changes in zoning in their neighborhoods. Is power to the
people a bad thing? Should you have a say in what goes on next door to
you? If a development is considered acceptable, development will not be
inhibited. I encourage the Town Board to approve this initiative, adopt
the proposed changes to the Code, and let the ongoing Code revision
process take its course. That may be another “change is hard” thing for
some Board members, and it would take courage to go there. If you vote
that way, folks won’t be able to gripe about funding a special election,
and, boy, adopting it this way will really get citizens involved,
something you’re always publicly asking for.

Subject: Support for the Two (2) Citizen Initiated Ordinances
The recent approval by the Town Board to rezone 685 Peak View on June 24 was deeply
disappointing—an understatement, frankly. That decision has heightened my concern
about the Board’s ability to act impartially, especially in quasi-judicial matters where
personal views are expected to be set aside.
Citizens are repeatedly encouraged to engage in the civic process—to show up, speak out,
and participate. Yet when it comes to diAicult or high-impact decisions, it feels as though
our input is being dismissed or undervalued. That disconnect between what’s asked of us
and how we’re heard is both troubling and discouraging.
I support (approve) the two citizen-sponsored ballot initiatives (aka Citizen Initiated
Ordinances) because I believe they are a necessary step toward restoring trust and
balance in our local governance. These initiatives oAer a way to give power back to
landowners—those who are directly impacted by these decisions and who are too often
excluded from them.
It was especially concerning to see the Town Board override the Development Code—our
established law—in favor of the Comprehensive Plan and emotional appeals tied to
Habitat for Humanity. While the organization’s mission is admirable, it should not be used
to justify circumventing the legal framework that exists to ensure consistency, fairness, and
protection for all property owners. This sets a dangerous precedent. If the Development
Code can be bypassed based on subjective reasoning or emotional narratives, what is to
stop future decisions from following the same path? It erodes the credibility of the process
and weakens the community’s trust in its leaders.
It’s also important to note that the Comprehensive Plan was not presented to the public as
a tool to rezone long-established subdivisions for the financial benefit of developers,
contractors, and real estate agents, especially to over-ride zoning and/or the Development
Code (LAW). And yet, that’s how it is increasingly being applied. This approach does not
benefit larger property owners—we are the ones being unfairly targeted and, frankly,
discriminated against.
To make matters worse, I recently read in BizWest that Town staA has already joined
Larimer County in committing $6,000 to $20,000 to place these initiatives on the ballot.
That suggests a decision may have already been made ahead of the July 8 public meeting.
If true, that would be a serious breach of public trust and transparency.
Page 2 of 2
Why not simply adopt the initiatives now and move forward with the much-needed rewrite
of the Development Code? Instead, we’re heading toward yet another costly and
unnecessary vote—consuming valuable time and taxpayer resources, all while citizen
voices are minimized.
If public engagement truly matters, the Town Board must start showing it through its
actions—not just through lip service. Decisions should reflect fairness, transparency, and a
genuine respect for the people who call this community home.

Public Comment:
I am wondering of passed this amendment to the Estes Park Development code will violate the Fair
Housing Act. Courts have found violations in similar situations where local govermnemts have blocked
affordable or multi-family housing due to pressure from nearby homeowners. Further - intent to
discriminate doesn't have to be proven if the outcome disproportionately harms protected groups.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Jackie Williamson, Town Clerk
Department: Town Clerk
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: Initiated Ordinance Petition – To Repeal Section 11.4 and Associated
Building Height Limits in Section 4.3 of the Estes Park Development Code
Type: Public Hearing
Objective:
Present an Initiated Ordinance filed with the Town Clerk’s Office to repeal the Estes
Park Development Code section 11.4 and associated building height limits in section
4.3 as outlined in the petition.
Present Situation:
On November 18, 2024 a letter was sent to the petitioners, James and Kristine Poppitz,
approving the form of the petition to address development applications, which allowed the
petition to be circulated. Upon approval of the form of the petition, the Town Clerk
contacted the Larimer County Elections Office and determined the total registered
electors within Estes Park. State statute 31-11-104 requires a petition to be signed by at
least 5% of the registered electors; the total number of signatures required was
established at 246.
On May 16, 2025, the Town Clerk received 43 signed petition sections containing 393
signatures. The Town Clerk reviewed the signatures to verify the registration of the
individual against the voter registration list supplied to the Town by the Larimer County
Elections Office. A preliminary statement of sufficiency was issued on June 13, 2025
certifying the petition was signed by 5% or 246 registered voters within the Town of Estes
Park.
Total number of signatures submitted: 393
Total number of signatures reviewed 393
Total number of signatures rejected: 112
Total number of signatures accepted: 281
Number of signatures required: 246
Pursuant to 31-11-110 CRS, a 40-day protest period is provided from the date the
petition was submitted (May 16, 2025), and if no protest of the initiated ordinance
petition is received within the 40-days (June 25, 2025), a final determination of petition
sufficiency is established.
Proposal:
Per 31-11-104 (1) CRS, the Board of Trustees within 20 days from the final statement of
sufficiency (June 25, 2025) must either: (1) adopt, without alteration, the citizen initiated
ordinance as proposed, Ordinance 12-25, or (2) refer the Initiated Ordinance to the
registered electors of the municipality to an election no less than 60 days (August 24,
2025) and not more than 150 days (November 22, 2025) days.
If the Board refers the ordinance to an election, staff has determined the only viable
option would be to join the coordinate general election on November 4, 2025. This is
due to a number of factors including the need for 90 days (on or after October 7, 2025)
to conduct a special mail ballot election and the statutory requirement limiting special
elections from occurring within 32 days before or after a general election in November
(on or before September 30, 2025).
Advantages:
None.
Disadvantages:
None.
Action Recommended:
Staff does not have a recommendation as this is a legislative action requiring Town
Board direction.
Finance/Resource Impact:
The Town would incur the cost to codify the ordinance if passed by the Town Board
which is minimal and funds for codification are budgeted annually.

Election offices and have received an estimate of approximately $6,000 to $20,000
pending if the State and/or the County have questions on the ballot.

I move to approve Resolution 71-25 referring Initiated Ordinance 12-25 to the

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Reuben Bergsten, Utilities Director & Greg White, Special Counsel
Department: Utilities, Water Division
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: Ordinance 13-25 Replacing Ordinance 07-22 Considering the Inclusion of
Certain Properties Located within the Town of Estes Park into Northern
Colorado Water Conservancy’s Municipal Subdistrict
Type: Public Hearing
Objective:
Compliance with Northern Colorado Water Conservancy's Municipal Subdistrict's
(Subdistrict) rules and regulations.
Present Situation:
The Town's municipal water system uses Windy Gap water which the Subdistrict
oversees. The Subdistrict's rules and regulations require all properties receiving
Windy Gap water be included in the Subdistrict. Certain properties using the Town's
municipal water system were inadvertently not included in the Subdistrict. Pursuant
to Colorado State Statute, the Town Board may include these properties into the
Subdistrict by passing an ordinance consenting to the inclusion of the specific
properties.
Proposal:
The adoption of this ordinance will bring the water customers within the Town's
boundary into compliance with Subdistrict's rules and regulations and allow the required
public records to be filed with the County Recorder.
This ordinance is the first step in the process to include all water customers' properties
into the Subdistrict. Staff is working on the second step which will bring the remaining
water customers' properties, outside the Town's boundary, into the Subdistrict.
All costs to include these properties into the Subdistrict are in the approved Water
Division budget.
Advantages:
Passage of this ordinance will allow the Town to continue providing Windy Gap
water to its water customers in compliance with the Subdistrict's requirements.
Eventually, all properties receiving Town water will be included in the Subdistrict, as
required by the Subdistrict's rules and regulations.
Disadvantages:
None.
Action Recommended:
Adoption of the ordinance.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Fees required to include these properties in the Subdistrict are in the approved
budgeted, Project code NCWCD, Account# 503-7000-580.35-54, $79,048.
Level of Public Interest:
Low.
Sample Motions:
I move for the adoption of Ordinance 13-25.
Attachments:
1. Ordinance 13-25

Memo
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Reuben Bergsten, Utilities Director and Jacqueline Wesley, P.E., Project
Manager
Department: Utilities Department
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: Resolution 72-25 Increase Contingency for the Prospect Mountain Water
Improvements Project
Type: Resolution
Objective:
Complete the Prospect Mountain water project by funding additional construction work
resulting from differing site conditions, unanticipated permit compliance and County
requirements, and changes to electrical service; extended interim financing costs; and
development and water rights fees that are greater than those estimated at the time of
budget development.
Present Situation:
As a result of the Prospect Mountain Water Company (PMWC) bankruptcy, the Town
assumed ownership through the Voluntary Transfer Agreement, which requires the
former PMWC customers to fund the reconstruction of their old water system to current
Town standards. The costs include administrative costs and paying the Town
development/water rights (tap fees).
The Town obtained project grants and loans from the United States Department of
Agriculture Rural Development (USDA-RD) and the Colorado Department of Local
Affairs (DOLA) totaling $15, 298,000 for eligible costs. Ineligible costs include Town-
provide labor to support the construction of the project.
In August 2022, the project advertised for bids and the selected qualified low bidder was
Wagner Construction. When their base bid of $10,732,588 was combined with two
additive alternates, the total bid price was $11,011,726. On September 29, 2022, the
Board approved entering into the funding agreement with the USDA-RD (Resolution 67-
22 and Resolution 68-22) as outlined in the LOC and the contract with Wagner
Construction (Resolution 82-22).
The existing project budget is $15,298,000 per the USDA financing letter of conditions.
We estimate the final project cost to be $15,800,000, including all USDA-RD grant and
loan eligible costs and ineligible costs (Town labor). The total project budget includes
USDA-eligible costs (defined in the Letter of Conditions) and ineligible costs (e.g. Town
labor). This is an increase of $502,000 (3.28%) in the total project budget to be used for
extended interim loan interest, the remaining town tap fees (development and water
rights fees), Northern Water inclusions, Town labor, and changes during construction.
The largest project cost item is the USDA-eligible construction cost for work completed
by Wagner Construction. The current construction cost is $11,589,079.84, including the
two additive alternatives and contingency funded change orders. The estimated
remaining value of pending change orders and additional contingency is $400,000,
bringing the estimated total contract value to $11,900,000 (part of the $15,800,000
discussed above). This is an increase of $1,167,412 (10.64%) from the original bid and
alternates.
The following change orders have altered the value of the construction work.
1. Increase in manhole size at the request of the Water Division.
2. Increase in quantity of air vac/release valves/vaults, fire hydrants, and 6-inch DIP.
3. Decrease in quantity of 8” bends, concrete encasement, 8x8 tees, 6x8 tees, 8-inch
DIP, 8” gate valves, rigid pavement (concrete), temporary piping, water service
connection and extension, and blowoff assemblies.
4. Increase in the quantity of rock during construction from the original bid quantity.
The bid quantity of rock excavation was 4,585 cubic yards (CY) for the mains and
676 CY along the tank access. The total quantity of rock was estimated at the time
of bidding as 5,261 CY. The additional rock quantity encountered during
construction is 3,397.05 CY, for a total increased construction value of $490,448.60.
5. Requirements of Larimer County permits: The requirements of the Larimer County
permits acquired by the Contractor differed from those anticipated at bid time.
Differences include additional stormwater sampling, more roadway surface
restoration with different materials, and additional traffic control.
Proposal:
Staff request the following:
1. Increase the project contingency funding used by staff to authorize change
orders with Wagner Construction not to exceed $11,900,000. Staff will work with
USDA-RD to adjust the LOC line items to not exceed $15,298,000 for the USDA-
RD funded portions of the project.
2. Approval for increasing the total project budget to $15,800,000, which includes
USDA-RD funded eligible items and ineligible items such as Town labor.
Future adjustments to the project budget may be required to cover interim loan interest
costs, remaining town tap fees, testing, and Northern Water Inclusion costs once they
are calculated.
Advantages:
● Increasing project funding will allow the project to close out the outstanding Town
labor costs.
● Increasing contingency funding will allow enable continuation of construction.
● The project will be completed enabling closeout with the USDA.
Disadvantages:
● The cost of construction is higher than the original bid; however, the requirement
for repayment of all costs by the previous PMWC customers does not change.
● Additional administrative actions are required; however, the USDA-RD has
agreed to make adjustments with within the LOC upper limit.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
Finance/Resource Impact:
503-7000-580.35-54 PMLOAN Prospect Mountain Water System Improvements,
$502,000 increase. Staff will work with finance to differ existing capital projects to cover
the increase.
Level of Public Interest:
Low with only interested parties being the former customers of the Prospect Mountain
Water Company who are financially responsible for all project costs.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 72-25 amending the project budget and
authorizing additional contingency for Wagner Construction’s contract via change orders
to be executed by the Town Administrator and Utilities Director.

Memo
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: J. Wesley, P.E., Capital Projects Manager
R. Bergsten, Utilities Director
T. Zimmerman, Finance Director
Department: Utilities Department, Water Division
Date: July 8, 2025
Subject: Resolution 73-25 Conditionally Awarding the Carriage Hills Spruce Knob
Construction Project
Type: Contract/Agreement, Resolution
Objective:
Our objective is to ensure high-quality, reliable water service by replacing old water
mains and leveraging grant funds tied to the Spruce Knob project, through the
conditional award of a construction contract.
Present Situation:
We prioritized the Carriage Hills water project due to the higher-than-typical emergency
breaks each year. These breaks drive up our reactive maintenance costs and represent
a loss of valuable water. This project will also improve water quality by installing new
sections of pipe to create loops in the system.
The replacement was divided into four phases to facilitate implementation. Phase 1
addresses the "trunk" portion of the system, which includes pipes along Carriage Drive
and a portion of Whispering Pines, making a critical connection to our existing water
system at Pawnee/Highway 7, and connecting to the water system near Grey Fox.
Additionally, a new pressure regulating valve (PRV) station will be installed.
The State of Colorado requested that we support the reconstruction of the Spruce Knob
Water System, resulting in a competitive grant application. The project was awarded a
$1 million Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grant, a $1.5 million Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (BIL) principal forgiveness, and a low-interest State Revolving Fund
(SRF) loan of $ 3.5 million.
The design for the combined project was completed in 2025. The bid package included
several "bid schedules" to allow the Town to select the most cost-effective options for
different construction areas and to maximize available funding.
- Bid Schedule A was for the Spruce Knob (Joel Estes) portion of the project.
- Bid Schedule B covered the Carriage Drive and Whispering Pines sections.
- Bid Schedule C focused on the looping connection at Grey Fox.
We lack adequate funding to proceed with the subsequent bid schedules.
We received five (5) bids on May 13, 2025. The lowest bid was from Timber Wolf
Excavating (TWX), and the second lowest bid was from High Plains Excavating. The
order of the ranking remains the same regardless of the bid schedule combinations. The
bid tabulation provides all the bid values for each schedule.
Our consulting engineer reviewed the bids and found both TWX and High Plains to be
responsive, responsible bidders with complete bid packages.
Loan repayment
As with the Park Entrance and Prospect Mountain projects, the Spruce Knob property
owners will be responsible for their portion of the loan payments which will be collected
as a separate line item on their water bills, see Resolution 17-25 dated February 25,
2025.
Project Financing
Financing the Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob project is pending the SRF loan closing
which is pending an approval letter (loan parity agreement) from the United States
Department of Agriculture – Rural Development (USDA-RD).
Proposal:
Conditional Award:
We propose that the Town Board conditionally award the construction contract for
Schedules A, B, and C to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder in accordance
with Town Policy. The award is conditioned on the loan closing with the Colorado Water
Resources and Power Development Authority for the SRF loan and BIL principal
forgiveness. The construction contract execution would follow the loan closing, and no
further Board action would be required.
Exclude Schedule C from the grant and principal forgiveness ratio
Staff proposes the Town Board re-affirm the split of grant and principal forgiveness be
based on Schedules A and B only, since Schedule C is for the benefit of Town's water
system only. Spruce Knob’s allocation of grant and principal forgiveness is $337,078.65
(13.5%). Staff allocated costs of common project elements to determine the Spruce
Knob contract price allocation to be $827,475.00 (67%) based on the lowest bid. The
final allocation of costs, grant, and principal forgiveness will be done upon project
completion when the actual costs are known.
Total Project Budget
Staff propose that the Town Board authorize contingency within the project budget to
allow timely processing of unknown field conditions (differing site conditions) or differing
estimated to actual quantities, and that the Utilities Director be granted signature
approval of change orders within the Total Project Budget. The maximum cumulative
change order amount to be authorized by the Utilities Director without additional
approval by the Board is limited to 20 percent of the bid value of the lowest bidder
selected by the Board in this action.
Advantages:
● Combines water funds with a low-interest SRF loan, DOLA grant, and BIL
principal forgiveness.
● Allows for start of construction in Carriage Hills and completion of construction in
Spruce Knob in 2025. Construction will be completed in Carriage Hills in 2026.
● Meets the expectations of the funding agency and customers of Spruce Knob by
applying the grant and principal forgiveness in an equitable manner without
adverse impact to the Town’s rate payers.
Disadvantages:
● Allocation of the DOLA grant and BIL principal forgiveness reduced the amount
available to Town of Estes Park water customers for the Carriage Hills
improvements; however, we would not have gotten the grant and principal
forgiveness without the inclusion of the Spruce Knob project.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the Resolution to enter into a conditional construction
contract.

Re: Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob Water Systems Improvements – Qualification and
Experience of Bidders Review and Recommendation of Award
Jacqui:
On May 13, 2025, five bids were received for the construction of the “Carriage Hills and Spruce
Knob Water Systems Improvements” project, for the Town of Estes Park. A copy of the bid
results tabulation is attached. The apparent low bidder on the project was Timber Wolf
Excavating, LLC, 520 N 45th Place, Broken Arrow, OK 74014. Timber Wolf Excavating also
maintains a Colorado office located at 634 County Road 23-1/2, Brighton, CO 80603.
Timber Wolf Excavating (TWX) qualifications and references have since been checked and
evaluated. This evaluation included consideration of the following factors:
Previous Similar Past Project Performance and Experience Record
Project Manager and Superintendent References
Financial Stability
Bonding Company Surety Information
Insurance Company Coverages and Past Claim Records
We’ve completed our review of TWX current Financial Statement, Bidder Qualification Form,
subcontractors and their past performance on several similar projects. See our attached
memorandum on TWX Similar Past Project Performance and Experience.
The second lowest bidder on the project was High Plains Excavating & Aggregate LLP, 961
Juniper Lane, Estes Park, CO 80517. High Plains Excavating & Aggregate (High Plains)
qualifications and references were also checked and evaluated, including their current financial
Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement, qualifications of High Plains proposed Project
Manager and Project Superintendent, Bidder Qualification Form, subcontractors and their past
performance on several similar projects. See our attached memorandum on High Plains Similar
Past Project Performance and Experience.
It should be noted that High Plains plans to use a subcontractor, E-Z Excavating, 8123 Indian
Peaks Avenue, Frederick, CO 80516 to perform the installation of the new 8-inch diameter
waterline on the project. Our understanding is that High Plains Excavating & Aggregate will be
performing the remainder of the work including road surfacing (asphalt and gravel pavements)
and the new residential service line installations.

E-Z Excavating’s qualifications and references were also checked and evaluated, including
qualifications of their proposed Operations Manager, Pipe Division Superintendent, Vice
President and Asphalt/Field Superintendent, Bidder Qualification Form, and their past
performance on several similar projects. See our attached memorandum on E-Z Excavating
Similar Past Project Performance and Experience.
Based on our review, we believe both TWX and High Plains (and their subcontractor E-Z
Excavating) have the experience and resources to satisfactorily perform the Carriage Hills and
Spruce Knob Water Systems Improvements Project for the Town of Estes Park.
With the Town of Estes Park Purchasing Policy that includes a 5% Local Preference, the final
selection of the Contractor to perform the Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob Water Systems
Improvements project should be made by the Town of Estes Park Board of Directors.

TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
To: Jacqui Wesley, P.E.
From: Trevor Datwyler, P.E.
Re: Grey Fox Drive Water Main Connection
Date: May 28, 2025
As the Town of Estes Park moves forward with the vital initiative to replace aging and undersized
water mains in the Carriage Hills area, itis essential to carefully evaluate alternatives that
maximize the impact of the project budget. One such opportunity is the extension of the
existing 8-inch water main along Grey Fox Drive to connect with the new 8-inch main along
Whispering Pines Drive. This connection offers a range of system-wide benefits that support the
Town’s goals for reliability, safety, and water quality.
Key Benefits of the Grey Fox Drive Water Main Extension
Enhanced Redundancy and System Resiliency:
The planned interconnection at Pawnee Drive will provide an important secondary supply route,
linking the Mary’s Lake water source to Carriage Hills. Adding a second connection via Grey Fox
Drive further enhances system resiliency, offering an alternative path for water delivery in case of
main breaks, maintenance activities, or other disruptions.
Improved Fireflow Capacity:
Installing the Grey Fox Drive water main significantly increases fireflow availability in the
surrounding area, particularlynear Grey Fox Drive and Larkspur Avenue. Fireflow capacity at 20
psi is projected to increase from approximately 1,500 gallons per minute (gpm) to more than
2,500 gpm, thereby improving fire protection capabilities and public safety.
Reduced Water Age and Enhanced Water Quality:
Dead-end water mains, such as the one currently terminating on Grey Fox Drive, can lead to
stagnation and diminished water quality. Extending this main to connect with Whispering Pines
Drive eliminates the dead-end, promoting better circulation. Hydraulic modeling indicates that
the water age at the north end of Grey Fox Drive would decrease by 25% under average usage
conditions. At the intersection of Grey Fox Drive and Larkspur Avenue, the improvement is even
more dramatic, reducing water age from five days to just eight hours.

Conclusion:
Investing in the extension of the Grey Fox Drive water main represents a strategic enhancement
to the Carriage Hills water distribution system. This improvement addresses multiple critical
objectives—bolstering system redundancy, increasing fire protection capacity, and improving
water quality for residents. By prioritizing high-impact improvements like this, the Town of Estes
Park can ensure that the benefits of infrastructure investment are both immediate and long-
lasting.

requesting an extension of the grant deadline. The extension will allow Staff time to
define the reduced scope of work and develop options for future services in the Power
and Communications service area.
Advantages:
This will allow us to close our grant agreement.
Disadvantages:
None
Action Recommended:
Approval of the resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign the proposed amendment to our
grant agreement.

DOLA EIAF B-022 - Estes Park Broadband Planning and Implementation
Amendment to extend the deadline due to changing Scope of Work
Town of Estes Park
June 12, 2025.
Reason for Revision:
Construction on the grant's scope of work commenced immediately upon
receipt of the award letter on August 22, 2022. By early 2023, the effects
of inflation became apparent, necessitating a shift from independent
contractors to the more cost -effective, alb eit slower, utilization of in -house
staff.
Our initial optimism that this approach would allow us to remain within the
original budget proved unfounded as inflation and a higher than planned
take rate . We planned for 20% in the first year and we had a 44% take rate
in the Hwy 43/ grant funded area.
W e complete d the design for the entire grant funded area. The Allenspark
area required an additional cabinet.
We could not complete construction of:
a.two cabinets along Hwy 34 and
b.four of five cabinets in the Allenspark/Hwy 7 grant funded area
Includ e language to add use of in -house staff in addition to contractors .
Re move the fiber construction in Allenspark. Although we completed one
cabinet, the original grant scope only included four cabinets.
Remove fiber construction along Highway 34.
●The Town of Estes Park (Grantee) will work with a previously hired
qualified contractor.
○Revised to add the u tilization of in -house staff in addition to
previously hired qualified contractors.

○Retain a pproximately 15.4 miles of fiber to Glen Haven which
was completed September 1, 2023. The demand for broadban d
s ervices exceeded the original grant scope of 20% take rate
resulting in higher-than -expected costs .
○Remove from the scope a pproximately 7 miles of fiber east
along Highway 34, due to higher costs.
○Remove a pproximately 78 miles of fiber for the Allenspark area,
which is partially (21 miles installed from Estes to Allenspark)

between 4 to 12 premises each .

c abinet boundary areas . One cabinet was completed October 1,

cabinet had to be added.

PUBLIC COMMENT RECEIVED ON 7/7/2025
Board of Trustees Public Comment
Name: Deb Dufty
Stance on Item: For
Agenda Item Title: [object Object]
Public Comment:
I believe a clear and streamlined communication/feedback pathway strengthens the relationship between
trustees and their constituents. In a perfect world, rumors or generalized discontent are less likely when
citizens are in the habit of engaging with their elected officials. Likewise, direct feedback from one person
may enlighten a trustee as to the impact of a decision. Advisory committees are helpful if their mission is
limited in time and scope, and those who serve on the committee are particularly well-situated or
experienced re: the matter at hand. A standing committee which meets monthly and decides for itself the
ways and means by which it gathers information (including public feedback) inserts an intermediary into the
trustee-constituent relationship. Those who remain on standing committees for years may be perceived as
(unelected) voices of authority, which can increase a sense of indispensability and chill both discourse and
participation by less familiar voices.
