REPORT & DISCUSSION (OUTSIDE ENTITIES)
1. LARIMER COUNTY TRANSPORTATION FUNDING. Larimer County Commissioner
Shadduck-McNally and County Community Planning, Infrastructure, and Resources
Director Ellis presented “Larimer on the Move’ Transportation Plan, a comprehensive
25-year master plan for unicorporated Larimer County, which includes recommended
adjustments to roadways, bicycle and pedestrian paths and facilities, updated safety
recommendations, addresses the transportation funding gap, and refer a ballot
measure to the November 2025 election for a 0.15% transportation sales and use tax
to raise an estimated $17.4 million annually to fund the approximately $650 million in
unfunded projects over the next 15 years.. The transportation system in Larimer
County includes 900 miles of roadway and 421 bridges, many of which currently fail
to meet standard. The county seeks to allocate a larger portion of the budget towards
preventative maintenance as oppose to costly repairs of the infrastructure. Plans
specific to Estes Park include intersection, bike and pedestrian path, and paving
improvements, shoulder work, and a Bustang transit connection for US 36. Public
feedback on the ballot language was collected and it was determined voters would be
open to the proposed 0.15% sales tax increase, if staple goods such as groceries
were excluded. Board discussion ensued and has been summarized: Concern was
heard as to how the county would prioritze projects and ensure fair dispersion of funds
and and if the measure was the only proposed tax increase on the ballot in November;
County representatives stated comprehensive tables of desired projects have been
generated to assist in determining work order, and stated; the Early Childhood Council
of Larimer County would have a ballot measure for childcare funding.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. RESOLUTION 82-25 EIGHTH MODIFICATION OF THE REIMBURSABLE
AGREEMENT (DTFH68-14-E-00004) WITH THE CENTRAL FEDERAL LANDS
HIGHWAY DIVISION OF THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION FOR
DOWNTOWN ESTES LOOP PROJECT. Director Greear presented the request from
Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) to amended the period of
performance contained in the existing Reimbursable Agreement (RA) with for the
Downtown Estes Loop (DEL) to December 31, 2027. The extension would allow for
the completion of the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) required by Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) for the construction work done along the Big Thompson
River. CFLHD would manage this effort; however, they may request the Town fund
up to 17.21% of the cost estimated at approximately $50,000. Funds from the 1A
sales tax collected for stormwater management could be used to offset the cost.
Board discussion ensued and has been summarized: Questioned if the extension of
the contract was anticipated; noted any additional funding necessary for completion
of the project must be approved by the board; confirmed no additional costs to the
DRAFT
Board of Trustees – August 26, 2025 – Page 3
Town are anticipated. It was moved and seconded (Hazelton/Younglund) to
approve Resolution 82-25, and it passed unanimously.
2. ORDINANCE 15-25 TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF
CHAPTER 17.66 OF THE ESTES PARK MUNICIPAL CODE TO REGULATE
RATHER THAN PROHIBIT FEATHER FLAG SIGNS. Mayor Hall opened the public
hearing. Director Carrecia stated the Town Board discussed feather flags at the
August 12, 2025 study session and requested staff bring forward an ordinance to
temporarily suspend the prohibition of wind signs as described in Chapter 17.66 of the
Municipal Code . Ordinance 15-25 would provide the legal basis and authority for the
moratorium through December 30, 2026 or until the passage of the next Estes Park
Development Code update. He further clarified the wind driven feather flags would be
limited to the image defined in the ordinance, limited to one (1) sign per lot (parcel),
maximum sign height of 12 feet, signs must be set back 12 feet from the sidewalk or
street, are included in the total signage calucation alotted for the business, and no
application or fee would be required. Board discussion ensued and has been
summarized: questioned if parcels containing multiple businesses would be allowed
multiple feather signs; would there be any restrictions in areas such as the downtown
district; questioned if there would be any consideration on the appearance of the flag
and upkeep of the signs, and stated concern with the expiration date as the current
date falls within the busy holiday period. Mayor Hall closed the public hearing. It was
moved and seconded (Igel/Cenac) to approve Ordinance 15-25 with the revision
to the expiration date from December 30, 2026, to January 6, 2026, and it passed
unanimously.
3. COLORADO ASSOCIATION OF SKI TOWNS (CAST) 2026 COLORADO
LEGISLATIVE POSITION STATEMENT OF HOUSING. Manager Bangs stated the
Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST) requested the Town reaffirm support
provided at the July 23, 2024 Board meeting for the CAST legislative position
statement on housing.It was noted that no substantive changes had been made to
any of the proposals and the position reflected what was approved last year, including
short-term rental taxes which authorize counties and municipalities to refer short-term
rental taxes to the voters and dedicate revenues to the local workforce and affordable
housing; local vacancy taxes which allow counties and municipalities to refer
residential vacancy taxes and local real estate transfer fees; It was noted the proposed
tax measures would allow a municipality or a county to pursue the measures at their
own discretion, contingent on the state legislation passing. Board discussion ensued
and has been summarized: Various and contrasting perspectives were presented,
with Mayor Pro Tem Cenac and Trustees Brown and Igel voicing strong opposition
due to existing revenue streams, potential negative impacts on vacation homeowners
and tourism, and the notion that Board approval would imply support for the proposed
tax measures; Board members in support cited the importance of local control.
Manager Bangs noted other communities lacked the funding streams the Town of
Estes Park possess and might rely on these measures heavily. It was moved and
seconded (Hazelton/Younglund) to support the CAST Legislative Position
Statement on Housing, and the motion failed with Mayor Pro Tem Cenac and
Trustees Brown and Igel voting “No”.
CONTINUE AN ORDINANCE TO VACATE A PORTION OF STANLEY CIRCLE
DRIVE RIGHT-OF-WAY TO SEPTEMBER 9, 2025. Deputy Town Administrator
Damweber stated the item to vacate a portion of the right-of-way on Stanley Circle
Drive for a proposed employee housing development. Staff provided notice to
neighboring properties of tonight’s hearing, therefore, an official continuance would be
required to move the item to September 9, 2025. It was further noted that new notices
would be sent to the neighbors of the new hearing date. It was moved and seconded (
Hazelton/Cenac) to continue the ordinance to September 9, 2025, and it passed
unanimously.
REPORTS & DISCUSSION
1. 2026 ANNUAL WORKFORCE HOUSING AND CHILDCARE FUNDING PLAN
DRAFT REVIEW. Manager Bangs reviewed the draft 2026 funding plan for 6E funds
DRAFT
Board of Trustees – August 26, 2025 – Page 4
as required by the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Larimer County and
the Town of Estes Park. She stated proposed funding for 2026 would remain
unchanged from 2025 with 80% allocated for workforce housing and 20% for
childcare. It was noted the projected 2026 6E funds would increase from $5,000,000
to $5,500,000, with estimated allocations totaling $4,400,000 to workforce housing
and $1,100,000 to childcare. Approval of the funding plan by the Town Board and
County Commissioners must be received annually to fund programs for both
workforce housing and childcare. Community input was collected through one-on-one
meetings with key stakeholders, two public outreach forums, and an online feedback
form to determine budget prioritization. In 2026, the programs would leverage the
progress of previous years and expand efforts toward lower-income workforce
housing, homeownership programs and development, and strategic planning for
childcare facilities and capital. Priority areas for childcare would include tution
assistance, out-of-school programs, childcare workforce, facility expansion. The
childcare plan would continue to focus on tuition assistance and expanding school-
age programming, with a goal of increasing wages for childcare providers to $25 per
hour to increase and maintain staffing. The Childcare Stability Initiative has been
developed with licensing guidelines of both the state and local health and safety
requirements to ensure compliance; however, eligibilty would not be tied to licensure.
These requirements prevent licensed-exempt childcare providers who do not meet
these requirements from receiving funding from the initiative as currently written. The
workforce housing plan would shift focus toward development, planning, and initiation
recognizing that these projects would take several years to complete. The Estes Park
Housing Authority (EPHA) has seen success with the rental assistance program and
would transition to focus on homeownership with a down payment assistance program
developed in 2025. Based on its success, staffing capacity would be removed from
the priority list in 2026. Priority areas for workforce housing would include low-income
housing, land banking, development, assistance programs, and staffing capacity.
Board discussion ensued and was summarized: Staff were urged to focus on
publicizing some of these initiatives to the community, specifically middle-income
assistance programs which constituents might not be aware of; suggested the
development of a tiered funding or bonus approach to encourage licensed-exempt
providers to continue education and training and to become licensed; interest in
reviewing data on the middle-income funding for 2025 and the possible gap created
by using the Larimer County platform that only allows for families to use licensed
facilities to receive support; Board acknowledged support of the transfer of $30,000
from 6E funds to the Childcare Facility account to support ADA compliance upgrades
to current childcare facilities; members of the community such as real estate
developers and accommodation owners have scrutinized the programs and have
questioned if the tax should be decreased due to an abundance of funding; Manager
Bangs acknowledged the request to provide incentives to the licensed-exempt
providers and would address the item in the final plan. She noted the funding plan
has been developed utilizing data informed decisions to realize outcomes such as the
School District not losing teachers do to a lack of housing.
Whereupon Mayor Hall adjourned the meeting at 9:07 p.m.

CHILDCARE LICENSING REGULATIONS AND LICENSE-EXEMPT PROVIDERS.
Manager Bangs stated the Town Board approved revisions to Town Policy 225:
Childcare Funding Guidelines which outlined methods of distributing funds to local
childcare providers, including license-exempt providers. The Town Board further
approved the development of the Estes Valley Childcare Fund in collaboration with the
Early Childhood Council of Larimer County to provide tuition assistance for middle-
income families, however, this program does not include licensed-exempt childcare
providers as eligible recipients. Key stakeholders were brought together to discuss the
eligibility of licensed-exempt providers in the funding programs. It was noted that
licensed-exempt care continues to be widely used in the Estes Valley as a lower-cost
childcare option, provides a personal and more flexible option for families, and start up
remains easier for the providers. Licensed-exempt providers have little to no quality
assurance or oversight, and there are no mandatory safety or training requirements.
The stakeholder group recommended licensed-exempt providers become licensed
providers over time through incentives such as becoming eligible for funding programs.
Licensed-exempt providers would still be eligible for grants that reinforce the Town’s
desire for high-quality care to provide professional development or training, or to
purchase equipment or materials to enhance their program. EVICS confirmed the need
to recognize these providers and noted there are more infant slots available with these
providers compared to licensed providers in Estes Park. Families are directly impacted
by limiting funding to licensed facilities as it limits the availability of providers and does
not directly impact the licensed-exempt providers.
Board discussion and questions were heard and summarized: concern was raised on
limiting provider options; noted it should be the family’s choice rather than the Town
dictating who a family can use for childcare; stated there would be minimal liability to the
Town if 6E funds were used to assist middle-income families with tuition at a licensed-
exempt provider; licensed-exempt providers are providing the needed infant care in the
valley; the Town should incentive licensed-exempt providers to a degree but should not
limit their use by families; concern with providing funds for licensed-exempt facilities that
are not inspected or overseen; and noted licensure continues to be important. Board
consensus was to allow tuition support to licensed-exempt providers through the Estes
Valley Childcare Fund for middle income childcare support.
Mayor Hall requested a break at 5:56 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 6:01 pm

CLIMATE ACTION PLAN CHECK-IN. Heidi Pruess, Larimer County Manager of Office
of Sustainability and Climate stated beginning in 2024, the Larimer County Climate
Smart Future Ready Plan (CSFR) was launched, a five-year initiative designed to
confront some of the escalating risks associated with deteriorating air quality, changing
weather conditions, and increased natural disasters. Through community partners
involving 50 community partners, 10 Larimer County departments, an executive team,
and 18 action teams seven focus areas have been identified, including unifying
solutions, built environment, circular economy, business and employment, natural
environment, agriculture, and mobility. Each focus area has been developed to address
methods of mitigation and adaptation with specific goals as well as an overarching
greenhouse gas emission reduction goal. It was noted that Estes Park as a community
has the highest greenhouse emissions per capita due to the impact of millions of visitors
each year. The county has received a number of grants to address issues outlined in
the plan. An Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant was awarded to provide
funding for local governments to increase staff capacity and access technical support,
emissions reduction projects, and support the CSFR action teams. Abbey
Stapleton/Larimer County Sustainability Coordinator provided details related to the grant
and the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) contract issued
for the $50,000 grant to establish a greenhouse gas inventory for Town operations and
develop a climate action plan. The plan would develop an internal operation greenhouse
gas inventory, review of past initiatives and progress, plan development with Town staff,
recommended actions and key performance indicators, create plan summary handouts,
interactive public dashboard, and optional community engagement for draft plan
feedback. Data collected for municipal operations would include electricity and natural
gas usage, employee commute, fleet including transit, and water and wastewater
treatment. The greenhouse gas inventory continues and would be completed by
December 2025. The ICLEI contract and Estes Park meetings would begin in the fall
2025. The kick off for the action plan development would take place in January 2026.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Jacqueline Wesley, P.E./Project Manager
Reuben Bergsten, Utilities Director
Department: Utilities
Date:
Subject:
Type:
September 9, 2025
Resolution 83-25 Amend the Professional Services Contract with
Kimely Horn for Mall Road to Increase the Contract Value by $71,270
and Authorize the Town Administrator to Approve the use of
15,000.00 in Contingency
Resolution
Objective:
Amend the existing engineering services contract with Kimley Horn to address
additional efforts associated with permitting and property coordination with the Bureau
of Reclamation, splitting the original scope of design into two separate projects (the Mall
Road project and the Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob project), evaluating the extension
of the Mall Road project down Highway 34 past the original point of connection, and
providing general services during construction for the Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob
Water Systems Improvement Project (Joel Estes portion only).
Present Situation:
Kimley Horn was retained to complete design for the Mall Road Water Looping Project
Resolution 07-24), which included design and bidding services for a new 12” water
main from approximately Mall Road and Joel Estes Drive to a point of connection with
our existing water system along Highway 34. By changing the alignment of the Mall
Road project to extend down Joel Estes Drive and connect these 12 customers along
Joel Estes Drive, the Town was awarded a State Revolving Fund (SRF) low-interest
rate loan and $1.5M grant. This change results in Kimley Horn designing and producing
two separate bid packages and managing all or part of two separate construction
contracts, which increases their level of effort and associated professional services
costs.
During final design review, staff recognized that the new 12” ductile iron (DI) water main
will connect to an older 8-inch diameter galvanized pipe for approximately 2000 linear
feet. This pipe is and has an increased risk of line breaks. Kimley Horn and staff worked
with Upper Thompson Sanitation District, who has a lot of infrastructure in the area, to
develop an alternative route for a new pipeline from approximately the CDOT facility on
Highway 34 to Dry Gulch. Preliminary route analysis and fieldwork (preliminary
geotechnical and utility locating work) were performed at the request of the Town to
assess the feasibility of this extension of work. This additional evaluation was not part of
Kimley-Horn's original scope of work.
The permit coordination and land coordination required with the BoR have been greater
than originally anticipated and are additionally impacted by changes in BoR staffing
during the design and permitting phase of the Mall Road project. The original scope
included coordination with BoR for crossing the property near the UTSD administration
building. Instead of one application and two virtual meetings to obtain approval from the
BoR, two applications and multiple meetings with different BoR staff have been required
and supported by Kimley Horn. Describe the current issues, limitations, problems or
barriers.
Proposal:
Staff request that the Town Board amend Kimley Horn’s contract to include additional
design and permitting/land services, one additional bid package and process, and
construction phase services for the Carriage Hills and Joel Estes Water Systems
Improvement project (Joel Estes portion only) in the amount of $86,270.00. This amount
includes the fee proposal by Kimley-Horn for $71,270.00 and an additional $15,000.00
21%) in contingency which can be approved for use with Kimely-Horn by the Town
Administrator.
Advantages:
Preliminary design of the replacement of the existing 8-inch galvanized pipeline
along Highway 34 allowed the Town to determine our capacity to fund the
construction of this element of the looping project, and
Continued support through construction from the Joel Estes Drive portion of the
Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob project by the design firm (Kimley-Horn) to
address technical issues during construction, reduce the risk and workload on
our staff, and
Additional support for permitting and land use approval provides technical input
and reduces workload for our staff in obtaining permits and BoR approval,
without which the project cannot move forward.
Disadvantages:
Additional consulting cost incurred by the Town to fund the supplemental design
and construction phase services; however, Kimley Horn’s technical expertise will
make sure the construction aligns with the design intent and permit requirements,
and the design development allows the Town to assess impacts versus costs for
the additional pipeline installation.
Action Recommended:
Approve the Resolution authorizing amendment to the agreement with Kimley-Horn for
additional professional services during design, bidding, and construction.
Finance/Resource Impact:
503-7000-580.35-54, Water Fund, Mall Road Waterline Looping, MALLRO, available
budget of $13,633.58 as of 08/18/2025. Transfer of $20,000 from WTBRP4.
503-7000-580.35-54, Water Fund, Carriage Hills and Spruce Knob, CAHILL, available
budget of $7,736,498.25 as of 08/18/2025.
Current impact: One time impact to fund $86,270.00 for additional services plus
contingency. Note that a portion of the construction management costs will be
paid for by the impacted customers along Joel Estes Drive.
Future Ongoing Impacts: None.
Future One Time Impacts: An additional contract amendment will be forthcoming
for construction phase services associated with the remaining portion of the Mall
Road waterline project. The fee associated with this additional scope of work has
not yet been determined.
Level of Public Interest:
Low.
Sample Motion:
This item is on consent. If it is removed from consent the following sample motion can
be made by any Trustee agreeing with the resolution:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 83-25.

From: Paul Hornbeck, Senior Planner
Department: Community Development
Date: September 9, 2025
Subject: Ordinance 16-25 Vacating a Portion of Stanley Circle Drive Right-of-Way
Type: Ordinance
Objective:
The Applicant is requesting approval of an ordinance to vacate a portion of Stanley
Circle Drive right-of-way.
Present Situation:
The Town owns the property at 179 Stanley Circle Drive and has engaged the Estes
Park Housing Authority (EPHA) to manage the development of employee housing on
the property. EPHA and their consultants are in the process of developing a plan for the
property, which will likely involve a request to Town Board to rezone the property and
consideration of a development plan by Planning Commission.
Proposal:
During planning for development of the site, it was discovered that excess right-of-way
adjacent to the property exists. The applicant requests the Town vacate approximately
11,000 square feet of right-of-way, ownership of which would revert back to the adjacent
property owner, in this case the Town.
Advantages:
Vacation will provide a larger parcel for the Town’s intended employee housing. A
conceptual site plan is attached for reference to demonstrate the relationship between
the vacation and conceptual plans for the site. Public Works supports vacation of the
right-of-way.
Disadvantages:
None identified.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends approval of the request to vacate a portion of Stanley Circle Drive.

Public Comment:
I am not in favor of this ordinance at all. Additionally, there is a major lack of information that is being put
out to the our town. This renders our citizens vulnerable to a few staff and a board operating on a working
day, making decisions that many people would be against. This does not represent the people of our town.
I am not in favor of this ordinance at all.

Public Comment:
Dear Town Board, Providing affordable housing designated for town employees is a laudable goal. Will
there be an actual restriction that mandates this housing can only be occupied by town employees? The
design of the submitted site plan is, in my opinion, inferior to the two previous iterations I have seen, which
included a central drive with garages or at least parking space at the units. The remote parking areas now
shown raise practical concerns for residents and visitors. The lack or garages or covered parking mean
over-heated cars in the summer and de-icing in the winter. The lack of garages means that bikes, grills,
strollers, tools, etc. will have to be stored inside the units or uncovered outside. The lack of a central drive
complicates daily loading and unloading of groceries and children, deliveries, handicapped access, and fire
truck access. I encourage EPHA to revisit a less dense, more livable development.

Agenda Item Title: Ordinance 16-25 Vacating a Portion of Stanley Circle Drive Right-of-Way
Public Comment:
I am opposed to this Ordinance. I don't feel Citizens are being fully informed, heard, and/or allowed to
speak on this matter. Conflict with infrastructure needs: Future expansions of roads, transit, or utilities may
be blocked. Safety & accessibility issues: Housing in ROWs could obstruct emergency access, drainage
corridors, or evacuation routes. Vacating this ROW and utilizing it for housing causes more road safety,
noise and light noise. Seems to be too high of density for this neighborhood. 18 condos on less than 1
acre. Not even convinced this will be 100% for TOEP Staff as been sold to the public/advertised as per in
the neighborhood notes: "The proposed development aims to address retention and response time issues
for critical staff like utility workers and law enforcement." Many issues were raised by neighbors prior to the
Vacating ROW. Will this be the new NORM to gain more density? Will the TB now allow Housing Authority
to utilize this property for non-staff?

I am opposed to this Ordinance. At the Neighborhood meeting for this application, it was not 100%
guaranteed that this proposed housing would be solely for TOEP Staff as has been "advertised." When will
that be decided and shared with the Citizens for their chance to have a say, to speak? The Citizens needs
to be fully informed and allowed to speak. Thank you, Kristine L. Poppitz

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Jason Damweber, Deputy Town Administrator
Department: Town Administrator’s Office
Date: September 9, 2025
Subject: Amend Ordinance 15-25, Temporarily suspending certain provisions of

prohibit feather flag signs
Type: Ordinance
Objective:
Amend Ordinance 15-25, Temporarily suspending certain provisions of Chapter 17.66
of the Estes Park Municipal Code to regulate rather than prohibit feather flag signs.
Present Situation:
At the Town Board meeting held on August 26, 2026, a Trustee made a motion to
approve Ordinance 15-25, temporarily suspending certain provisions of the Municipal
Code to regulate rather than prohibit feather flag signs in certain areas of Town, with an
amendment to change the proposed date to end the suspension from December 31,
2026 to "January 6, 2026." This followed a discussion about interest in extending the
suspension through the holiday season. Staff noticed the potential unintended date in
the motion after the Ordinance was approved and confirmed with the Trustee who made
the motion that their intent was indeed to extend the suspension through January 6,
2027.
Proposal:
That the Town Board amend Ordinance 15-25 to ensure that the intended date is
accurately recorded in the Ordinance.
Advantages:
Amendment of the Ordinance will ensure that the intent of the Town Board is properly
recorded.
Disadvantages:
None noted.
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends the Town Board amend Ordinance 15-25 temporarily allowing
feather flags pursuant to the criteria established within the Ordinance.
Finance/Resource Impact:
None.
Level of Public Interest:
Moderate.
Sample Motion:
I move to amend Ordinance 15-25, by striking “January 6, 2026” in section 7 and
replacing it with “January 6, 2027.”
Attachments:

ORDINANCE NO. 15-25
AN ORDINANCE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF
CHAPTER 17.66 OF THE ESTES PARK MUNICIPAL CODE TO TEMPORARILY
REGULATE RATHER THAN PROHIBIT FEATHER FLAG SIGNS
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park, Colorado has
determined that it is in the best interest of the Town to amend certain sections of the
Municipal Code of the Town of Estes Park, Colorado, to temporarily allow feather flag
wind signs in certain areas, and to provide regulations for the duration they are allowed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE TOWN OF ESTES PARK, COLORADO AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The prohibition of wind signs under section 17.66.060(8) of the
Municipal Code is temporarily suspended to the extent described in this Ordinance.
Section 2: The suspension applies only to feather flag signs, defined as follows:
Feather flag means a freestanding, temporary fabric sign intended to be
inserted directly into the ground or into a mounting device that sits on the
ground, often with a feather-like shape. Other common names for feather
flags include blade flags, sail flags, quill flags, flutter flags, feather banners,
teardrop banners, and sail banners. (see figure below)
Section 3: During the period of suspension, feather flags shall be exempt from the
requirement of a sign permit in section 17.66.041 (a).
Section 4: The suspension shall not apply within any residential zoning district, nor
the Downtown Commercial district.
Section 5: For the duration of the suspension, feather flags shall meet the following
requirements, which shall be considered part of chapter 17.66. Violation of any of the
following shall be considered a violation of the Municipal Code and subject to enforcement
under section 17.66.230:
Attachment 1
a. No lot may contain more than one feather flag.
b. Feather flags shall be included in calculations of maximum signage
or sign area for the purposes of other code provisions, and shall be

sidewalk.
Section 6: All other provisions of the Municipal Code and Development Code
relevant to signs or structures, or which are pertinent by their own terms, shall apply to
feather flags.
Section 7: This suspension shall be effective through January 6, 2026, unless
earlier terminated or extended by the Board of Trustees. Upon conclusion of the
suspension, all feather flags will once again be prohibited and must be removed. This
Ordinance shall establish no right or expectation that a feather flag may remain on any
property within the Town beyond the period of the suspension, and no right or expectation
that the suspension will ultimately be of any particular duration.
Section 8: This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforced thirty (30) days after
its adoption and publication.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park,
Colorado this 26th day of AUGUST, 2025.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Steve Careccia, Director
Department: Community Development
Date: September 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 84-25 Change Order to the Professional Services Contract with
Design Workshop for the Estes Park Development Code Update
Type: Land Use Contract/Agreement, Resolution
Objective:
Town Board approval of a contract change order with Design Workshop, Inc. for
additional public engagement services related to the Development Code update.
Present Situation:
The Development Code update commenced in February 2025. Since then, work has
progressed on the public engagement plan, with the first community open house held
on June 25, a community-wide survey issued on July 15, and five dialogues conducted
by the Community Conversations team in July. Information gathered from public
engagement efforts will help guide the update process.
Proposal:
The requested change order is in response to feedback that additional opportunities for
public engagement are desired given the significant interest in the Development Code
update. Staff and Design Workshop have reviewed different options for engagement,
and are recommending the additional services presented in Attachment 2.
The proposed services include an additional open house (September 20), attendance at
eight pop events around Town (i.e., farmers’ market) over two separate weeks,
attendance at three community events (i.e., Rotary), and an additional full-length
survey. The cost for these additional services is $34,900.
The existing professional services contract with Design Workshop (Attachments 3 & 4
as linked) caps the project price at $300,000. This change order proposes to increase
the maximum project price to $350,000 to cover the additional public engagement
services requested from Design Workshop, as well as the potential for other
unanticipated future services. It should be noted that the approved budget for this
project is $400,000, so no additional funding is needed to accommodate this request.
However, since the original contract specifically set the maximum price ($300,000) to be
paid to the consultant, Town Board action is required to make this change.
Advantages:
The proposed services will promote additional opportunities for public
engagement and feedback
The approved project budget ($400,000) can accommodate the additional
services
No additional/new funding is required
Disadvantages:
This change order will reduce the available project budget, and so limit the
potential to add future services
Action Recommended:
Staff recommends the Town Board approve this contract change order for additional
services related to public engagement.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Current Impact: 101-1600-416.22-13 General Fund (Professional Services/Fees):
Current project budget of $400,000 with $99,839 of year-to-date expenditures (as of
August 11, 2025).
Future Impacts: This change order reduces the available budget for other unanticipated
work on the project.
Level of Public Interest:
Public interest in the Development Code update has been, and will continue to be, high.
Sample Motion:
I move for the approval/denial of Resolution 84-25.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: David Greear (Public Works Director)
Department: Public Works Department
Date: September 9, 2025
Subject: Purchase of GapVax MC1510 Combo Sewer Cleaner from Faris
Machinery
Type: Action Item
Objective:
Public Works (PW) staff seek Town Board approval of this item which approves the
purchase of a Combo Sewer Cleaner (aka Vac Truck) to be used by crews for cleaning
stormwater inlets and culverts, potholing for utilities, and flood preparedness.
Present Situation:
Public Works staff maintain a stormwater conveyance system comprised of stormwater
inlets, culverts and open drainage ditches throughout the town of Estes Park. This
stormwater conveyance system is integral in directing stormwater from rainfall events
away from roadways, driveways, parking lots, sidewalks and public/private properties.
For the conveyance system to work efficiently, continued maintenance is needed to
keep the inlets, culverts and drainage ditches free of debris, rocks, silt, and vegetation.
When drainage conveyance systems aren’t properly maintained, there is an increase in
flooding, increase in erosion along the roadway edges and driveways undermining their
structure, and increased trash, debris and silt running into creeks and rivers.
Currently, the stormwater maintenance crews address cleaning of the stormwater
conveyance system either by hand or through the use of a trailer mounted water jet
paired with a trailer mounted vacuum with a 3 inch hose connected to a 350 gallon tank
which is borrowed from Power and Communications Department. That process is time-
consuming and very inefficient with crews only able to address one culvert or inlet
cleaning per day with a full crew of 6 staff. By comparison, a combo sewer cleaner
utilizes an integrated 2,500 psi water jet with an 8 inch vacuum hose connected to a
1,500 gallon tank. A crew can clean 4-5 culverts or inlets per day with a crew of only 3
staff.
Proposal:
PW staff propose the Town Board approve the purchase of the GapVax MC1510
Combination Sewer Cleaner from Faris Machinery.
Advantages:
Purchase of this Combination Sewer Cleaner will improve crew productivity,
enhance safety and provide long-term cost savings.
Provide improved drainage performance, reduce pollutants from entering
waterways, and reduce the frequency of costly emergency repairs while
extending the life of stormwater infrastructure.
Provide safe, fast and accurate location of utility lines for roadway reconstruction
projects.
Provide immediate services in response to flood events in support of rescue
operations and quicker restoration of the road network.
Disadvantages:
One-time large purchase of equipment that will require continued preventative
maintenance and fuel.
Action Recommended:
Public Works staff recommend approval of the purchase
of the GapVax MC1510 Combo Sewer Cleaner.
Finance/Resource Impact:
Faris Machinery has quoted a price of $618,260 through the cooperative buying agency
Sourcewell for the GapVax MC1510 Combination Sewer Cleaner. The machine being
quoted is a demo vacuum truck with just over 11,000 miles and only 312 hours thus
providing a discount of $125,080.63. Funding for the purchase of the vacuum truck will
be provided through 1A sales tax revenues, with the cost allocated equally between the
Streets Fund and the Stormwater Fund. The capital project budgets within both funds
have sufficient available appropriations to support this purchase.
320,000 from Streets 260-2000-420.35-51 $
320,000 from Stormwater 265-3175-431.35-53
Level of Public Interest:
Staff expects a low level of public interest in this item.
Sample Motion:

1.Vacuum Truck Benefits Summary
2.Faris Machinery quote for GapVAx MC1510
Vacuum Truck Benefits for Stormwater System Cleaning,
Utility Potholing, and Flood Preparedness
A vacuum truck (or "vac truck") is a powerful and versatile tool that greatly enhances the
efficiency and safety of municipal and utility maintenance operations. It is especially valuable
for two key tasks: cleaning stormwater systems and potholing for utilities.
Stormwater System Cleaning
Vac trucks are ideal for maintaining stormwater infrastructure, such as catch basins, culverts,
storm drains, and detention ponds. Using a combination of high-powered suction and pressurized
water, they remove built-up sediment, debris, and contaminants that can impede flow and cause
flooding or environmental harm.
Key benefits:
Improved drainage performance: Keeps systems flowing during heavy rainfall.
Environmental protection: Prevents pollutants from entering waterways.
Increased crew efficiency: Allows smaller crews to complete cleaning tasks faster
and more effectively than manual methods.
Long-term cost savings: Reduces the frequency of costly emergency repairs and
extends the life of stormwater infrastructure.
Regulatory compliance: Helps meet environmental regulations and avoid penalties.
Potholing for Utilities
Vac trucks are also widely used for potholing (or daylighting) — a non-destructive method of
exposing underground utilities using pressurized water and vacuum extraction. This approach is
safer and more precise than traditional excavation.
Key benefits:
Safe utility exposure: Greatly reduces the risk of damaging underground assets such
as gas lines, electrical conduits, and fiber optics.
Fast, accurate locating: Increases productivity by quickly and precisely identifying
utility locations.
Minimal surface disruption: Preserves surrounding pavement or landscaping.
Increased crew efficiency: Speeds up utility marking and construction prep work.
Reduced project delays and repair costs: Avoids costly accidents and unplanned
utility outages.
Flood Preparedness
Key benefits:
Ability to immediately deploy the truck: Without a vacuum truck on hand, Estes
Park may be competing with demands for the equipment in other jurisdictions
following a flood event. Even if a truck and operator are available, could the truck get
Attachment 1
up here? Deploying ASAP after flash flooding downtown could accelerate rescue
operations and contribute to the quickest restoration of the road network.
Vacuum trucks are most efficient for removal and disposal of materials in
floodwaters: The truck can handle liquids, alluvium, and organic debris deposited in
streets and drainage facilities during flooding. Difficult-to-access open and confined
spaces inundated with floodwaters may be safely reached with operation of a vacuum
truck.
Flood mitigation projects always ongoing: Stormwater system maintenance is the
same as proactive preparation for flood events. Runoff conveyance in a system
maintained with full carrying capacity is the most essential flood mitigation practice.
Cost Comparison: Owned vs. Contracted:
Factor Owned Vac Truck Contracted Service
Upfront Cost $650,000 purchase $0 upfront
Hourly/Daily Rate Internal staffing costs only $4,000+/day
Usage Flexibility Unlimited—whenever needed Must be scheduled in advance
Annual Maintenance ~$10,000–$15,000 Included in vendor rate
Payback Timeline ~3–5 years Ongoing cost, no equity
Emergency Response Cost Included Overtime/emergency surcharges
Ownership Equity 100% asset value retained None
Example:
Using a contractor at $4,000 per day × 50days/year = $200,000/year Payback on
the $650,000 truck = ~3.25 years After that,
the town saves six figures annually Conclusion: By
improving
crew productivity, enhancing safety, and providing long-term cost savings, vac trucks are
an indispensable asset for cities, contractors, and utility providers. Whether maintaining stormwater
systems, supporting construction projects through safe potholing, or responding immediately
to a flood emergency, vac trucks deliver both short-term efficiency and long-term
value. If a
team were to use vac services more than 40–50 days per year, purchasing a $650,000 vac truck is
the more cost-effective, operationally flexible, and strategically smart decision. It reduces long-
term costs, empowers your workforce, ensures infrastructure is maintained to the highest standards,
and guarantees benefits for flood mitigation and disaster preparedness.

Memo
To: Honorable Mayor Hall & Board of Trustees
Through: Town Administrator Machalek
From: Carlie Speedlin Bangs, Housing and Childcare Manager
Department: Administration
Date: September 9, 2025
Subject: Resolution 85-25 Amended 6E Funding Expenditure for Childcare Start-up
Costs
Type: Contract/Agreement, Resolution
Objective:
Staff seeks Town Board direction regarding the potential use of 6E funds for Little Kid
Montessori Childcare and Preschool start-up costs. While a decision was previously to
award funds to this childcare provider, a change in circumstances requires
consideration of a new proposal.
Present Situation:
The Town Board was first presented with a request for funding from Little Kids
Montessori in March 2025. The applicant was seeking start-up funds to support the
operation of childcare at St. Bartholomew's Church. Due to unforeseen circumstances,
the facility no longer meets the applicant's needs. This change required an amended
application for funding and reconsideration by the Town Board. Funds previously
awarded were not distributed.
The applicants, Susan Castillo-Lugo and Sael Lugo, own Little Kids Montessori
Childcare and Preschool, which is a for-profit childcare.
Proposal:
Little Kid Montessori Childcare and Preschool’s mission is to offer quality, timely and
relevant education that promotes meaningful learning based on the well-being and full
development of infants and toddlers in an inclusive manner through the Montessori
Method. The applicant aims to address the problems faced by our community by
providing year-round childcare for children from birth to five years old.
The owner currently provides care for children from her home, including infants and
toddlers, and has a waitlist for both infants (2) and toddlers (6), and two preschoolers
that she’ll be able to serve once she moves into a facility (center-based as opposed to
home care).
Since the previous location at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church fell through, the
applicant has identified an alternate location at 439 W Elkhorn Avenue in Estes Park.
This location has gone through pre-licensing and fire inspections. The property owner
drafted a lease with the tenant and also provided a letter of intention (Attachment 3).
While the applicant has gone through a pre-licensing inspection, the following would still
need to be completed once the location is secured and renovated to meet licensing
regulations:
To pass their Original Inspection, the applicant will need to:
Pass health and fire inspection
Obtain an outdoor hardship waiver (due to space limitations for outdoor activities)
Files complete for all staff (required training and qualifications)
Health consultant secured
The new location does not meet the requirements to allow them to serve infants
children under 12 months). The proposed budget and amended request now reflects
one toddler classroom and one preschool classroom. This would allow for increased
capacity in the following categories:
Toddler Classroom: up to 11 children 13 mo to 35 mo
Preschool Classroom: up to 11 children (36 mo) 3 years-old to 5 years-old
The owners of Little Kids Montessori Childcare and Preschool have outlined the need
for $75,277 in start-up costs, broken up into equipment and supplies for operating
childcare, as well as staffing costs for two lead teachers and two assistant teachers for
the first three months of onboarding, with a total request for $138,000.
As outlined in the funding agreement, Attachment 7, the funds will be released in
phases tied to the completion of milestones. The total request will be broken up into four
phases and all funding is estimated to be distributed within 9 months and no more than
one year, of the execution of the agreement.
As a licensed childcare provider, the applicant will be eligible for other 6E Grant funding
opportunities, including the Annual Workforce Subsidy, which supports wages
throughout the year.
It should also be noted that we were very recently approached by a different Montessori
school based in Boulder – a licensed nonprofit – that may be interested in an Estes
Park location. Staff is in communication with the school’s leadership about their
interests and needs.
Advantages:

WHO ARE WE?
Little Kids Montessori Childcare & Preschool is a childcare and preschool project that aims
to house approximately 50 or more children who are without early childhood and preschool
education and who reside in the Estes Park community. This project will have enriching
programs for the five areas of children's development, from 0 to 17 years old, respectively.
MISSION AND VISION
Mission: to offer quality, timely and relevant education that promotes meaningful learning
based on the well-being and full development of infants and toddlers in an inclusive manner
through the Montessori Method.
Vision: To aspire to be an excellent and innovative childcare and preschool center that seeks
comprehensive and inclusive education for babies and young children.

LITTLE KIDS MONTESSORI CHILDCARE & PRESCHOOL
Considering that the multicultural and multilingual community of Estes Park is built on the
aspirations and hard work of the people, it is important to note that families in our community
lack childcare center options for their children, especially centers that provide quality
inclusive care. Our community has only two childcare centers that house children from 2.5
years old to 5 years old, but not infants. This is why the viability of Little Kids Montessori
Childcare & Preschool as an educational project in our community will be able to meet the
need of both, families and the workforce, since this project will provide employment
opportunities to the professionals in general education and special education. It will be able
to offer initial and continuing education training to our providers as part of their qualification,
as indicated by the Colorado Department of Education and other institutions that work for
early childhood.
The Little Kids Montessori Childcare & Preschool project aims to address the problems faced
by our community, which are the lack of year-round childcare for children from 0 to 5 years
old, the lack of after-school programs for children from 5 to 17 years old (divided into groups,
respectively), and the lack of summer camps and activities.
The main objectives of Little Kids Montessori Childcare & Preschool as a childcare and
preschool project are:
The creation of childcare and preschool for young children, from 0 to 5 years old,
that works hand in hand with the standards required by the Colorado Department of
Education and institutions that work for early childhood, which offers inclusive
education, monitoring the development of each child through individualized work,
promoting quality education interested in the full development of children.
Integration of all children and babies in our community, regardless of their high
abilities.
Promote collaboration between childcare service providers and health providers to
improve the provision of services to children with special needs.
Increase the quality of care and early education for babies and children.
Increase the number of childcare and special education providers.
Work hand in hand with parents to contribute to the strengthening of children.
Promote the linguistic development of children, encouraging the inclusion of
bilingualism.
Promote motor development in babies and young children through movement and
motor development therapies.

LITTLE KIDS MONTESSORI CHILDCARE & PRESCHOOL
Promote the social-emotional development of infants and toddlers through
interaction, socialization, and play as a foundation for learning.
Promote cognitive development through play-work.
Encourage infant and toddler learning through play.
Offer after-school activities and programs for children.
Offer summer activity and camp services.
Offer diagnostic evaluations of children's development through qualified personnel.
YOUNG POPULATION IN THE LITTLE KIDS’ CHILD CARE PROGRAM.
The Estes Park community needs childcare centers that meet the objectives and interests that
families need, above all, that have an academic offer of inclusive childcare in all aspects, and
that operate throughout the year.
The Little Kids Montessori Childcare & Preschool project attempts to solve the problem that
our community presents, which is the lack of childcare throughout the year from 0 to 5 years,
the lack of after-school programs for children from 6 to 12 years and the lack of resources
for camps and activities during the summer.
Based on the needs of our community, in Estes Park we have approximately 412 children
under the age of 5, according to the 2021 Census, so the Little Kids Montessori Childcare
Preschool project is determined to house approximately 25 infants and toddlers, and around
20 school-aged children, as follows:

Relationship marketing
We will use strategies that aim to make the company establish a strong relationship with our
clients. Among the actions that we will use to attract the attention of new clients and make
those who are already there stay, is the individualized work of each child, which includes
meaningful learning through work material and recreational, sensory and educational
activities, as well as the integration of highly trained personnel to meet the needs of children.
We will also be including physical advertising through brochures and flyers.
Content marketing
Little Kids Montessori Childcare & Preschool has a website where we will include all the
content, activities, photos and videos of the children and their recreational, sensory and
educational activities to attract the attention of our audience.
POTENTIAL IDEAL COSTUMER
Our ideal potential customer profile meets the needs of our community and the families who
will benefit from our programs, starting with the need for childcare.
At Little Kids Montessori Childcare & Preschool we want to reach our clients while
providing quality service to their children, through playful, sensorial and educational
activities based on the Montessori method. We will also provide families with a place where
children with special needs can be included in an environment that promotes their full
development. We will reach our clients through the integration of a space that houses babies
from 6 weeks old, including daily routines activities that encourage motor, linguistic and
socio-emotional development of each one through play. We will promote the linguistic
development of children, by encouraging the inclusion of bilingualism. We will have
childcare and special education providers who will work hand in hand with parents and
families. We will include after-school programs for school-aged children and teens, as well
as summer programs.
These objectives will be able to meet the needs of the families in our community, such as the
schedule, since we will work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, all year-
round, and this will help also us attract the attention of potential clients.

Fire Inspection:
ITEM: Document Notes on the Nature and Findings of This Inspection
RESULT: This structure is being inspected for requirements for a future childcare facility. Every room,
with one exception, has a door that exits to the exterior of the building at the level of exit discharge. The
one room that does not either needs a door added or it cannot be used for childcare. It could be a
storage room or an office. If every room being used for childcare has an exit, then a sprinkler system will
not be required. This building will need a monitored alarm system with automatic smoke detection and a
manual pull station that activate the occupant notification system.

Hi Carlie,
Thank you so much for reaching out, I was wondering how Susan was doing as she is getting ready for her Original
inspection.
Let me answer your questions first. Susan’s application is currently in “pending” status because the Original inspection
has not occurred yet. Once that is completed we can move her application for approval, but in order to move the
application process she needs to meet various requirements. In her case since she is opening a center, the facility needs
to pass a health and fire inspection. Since the facility we toured last time does not have an outdoor space she needs to
obtain an outdoor hardship waiver (I left the forms with her last time I was there). She also needs to have her file and the
teachers’ files ready for the Original Inspection, those files need to meet all rules and regulations regarding trainings and
qualifications (I also left forms for her to use and to guide her). A center also needs to have a health consultant, she can
contract a nurse or somebody that is qualified (also left her info about it).
Her application will absolutely be approved as soon as all the requirements, rules, etc., are met. This is not an impossible
task but it is a challenging one as there are many components that might take time. All these items I have mentioned
above are reviewed during the Original inspection, and that is why most child care providers wait until they have most or
all of them completed in order to schedule their Original inspection, but we really do not have to wait, we can schedule the
inspection and list in the reports the items that are missing/needed and Susan can continue to work on those, but
definitely her application will not be approved until everything is completed satisfactorily.
It is also the Department’s wishes to approve Susan’s application as we know the need for child care facilities in your area
is high, and we will work with Susan in anything that she needs to get her there, so please if it would help to meet again to
discuss what is needed and how we can support her we can absolutely do that! I am ready for an original inspection or for
a meeting to discuss how to get her there, just let me know and I am there!
Thank you so much again for reaching out, Susan has been in my mind too, and I really hope we can get this going and
get her licensed very soon!
Have a great weekend!
