Cultural Services Memo
To: Community Development/Community Services Committee
Town Administrator Lancaster
From: Derek Fortini, Museum Director
Date: April 27, 2017
RE: Museum Quarterly Report
Background:
Attendance Highlights
Beginning in January, the Museum began hosting a monthly book club that
features books on local history. The book club is a collaboration with the Estes
Valley Library and his been very successful with around 35 people attending
each meeting. The attendance exceeded expectations. Museum staff has
collaborated with authors and community members to facilitate discussion and
has set out artifacts and photographs from the collection that pertain to the
subject matter. The books covered so far are: "Homesteading Big Owl,"
"Memoirs of Abner Sprague," and "Joe Mills of Estes Park." Currently, the club is
reading "Mr. Stanley of Estes Park."
In late January, the Curator of Education conducted an outreach program at
Good Samaritan Village. Working with resident, Pieter Hondius, the two showed
historic films of Estes Park and interpreted the silent films by filling in details of
the people, places, and themes in the films.
In March, the Museum assembled and donated three "Discovery Packs" to the
Estes Valley Library's Youth & Family Services department. Each pack includes
activities that pertain to Estes Park history such as elk (and the reintroduction of
3
elk to Estes Park), Stanley Steamer Automobiles, and examining historic
photographs of Estes Park "Then and Now."
Collection Highlights
Curator of Collections Gerakios decided to accept a job at a museum in Florida
to be closer to family and had her last day with the Estes Park Museum on
February 25. She spent all of January and February completing accessions and
processing the Library collection donation, as well as prepping the collections
area for a new employee. The new Curator of Collections will begin on May 9th
and will be introduced to the CDCS committee at a later date.
Exhibits
Fundraising Display in the Estes Velley Library
Director Fortini put together a small display about the current status of the Estes
Park Museum Friends & Foundation, Inc. to fundraise for a new Collections and
Research Facility. It was on display for the entire month of January at the Estes
Valley Library.

Centennial Display in Town Hall

the display case of the Town Board Room Lobby. It will be on display throughout

*In preparation for the Museum remodel, the Museum
meeting/programming room has been taken offline until June of 2017. In
light of this, staff is striving to partner with other entities to host
programming as well as increase outreach efforts (especially in gaining
outside support for the Town Centennial celebration taking place all year).
Other Highlights:
Unfortunately, the Museum suffered damages due to the high winds in February.
A tree fell at the Historic Fall River Hydroplant and landed on the “Welcome”
Cottage. The tree has since been removed and Facility Manager Landkamer has
had the roof repaired. Also, the outhouse that was located next to the Cobb-
Macdonald cabin behind the main museum building was blown off its foundation
and rolled a couple of times. It has since been removed from the facility and
demolished.

RE: Hot Cars Cool Nights Resolution
___________________________________________________________________
Objective: To approve the Resolution to allow a variance of Ordinance 15-91 and
Municipal Code 17.66.170 for “Hot Cars Cool Nights” to operate June 16, July
14, August 11 and September 15, 2017.
Present Situation: Due to Ordinance 15-91 pertaining to “containment within the
CD District, and subsequent adoption of the Estes Valley Development Code
(Chapter 4, Zoning Districts, Section 4, specifically Paragraph D.1a. Outdoor
Sales, Use, Storage and Activity in the CD Zoning District, Number (3)
Exceptions), it is necessary for the Town Board to approve a variance to allow
this to occur.
Proposal: The West Elkhorn Merchants is organizing “Hot Cars Cool Nights”.
They are proposing to close West Elkhorn between Moraine and Spruce streets
for a car show and festival. Merchants can participate by expanding their
business onto the sidewalk without impeding pedestrian traffic. This would take
place June 16, July 14, August 11 and September 15, 2017 from 4:00pm –
9:00pm.
Due to Ordinance 15-91 pertaining to “containment within the CD District, and
subsequent adoption of the Estes Valley Development Code (Chapter 4, Zoning
Districts, Section 4, specifically Paragraph D.1a. Outdoor Sales, Use, Storage
and Activity in the CD Zoning District, Number (3) Exceptions), it is necessary for
the Town Board to approve a variance to allow this to occur.
Sandwich boards are prohibited in the Estes Park Municipal Code (17.66.170
Community special events signs and Stanley Park special events signs). It is
necessary for the Town Board to approve a variance to allow this to occur.
Atttached is Ordinance 15-91, Municipal Code 17.66.170 and the proposed
Resolution.
Action Recommended by Staff: Approval of the Resolution.

RE: Visitor Services Quarterly Report: Jan – Mar 2017
View from Visitor Center lobby on a very snowy spring day
First Quarter Visitor Center Traffic:
• First quarter visitor counts were up 4.95% over 2016 first quarter, for a total of
25,629 guests equaling 1,210 more people.
• Visitor counts for January and February were down (-932 and -529 respectively),
while March was significantly up (+2,671) compared to the same months in 2016.
• The Visitor Center invested in new, state-of-the-art traffic counting systems in
2016. The devices were installed the end of January 2017; therefore the first
quarter had a combination of initially using the old system, with the new starting
in February.
• This new traffic counting system is 95 – 98% accurate; it will be interesting to
note what differences may potentially be seen as we move forward with the new
system.
• Rocky Mountain National Park’s visitation was down 4.5% (-15,841 people) over
first quarter 2016. This first quarter decrease comes on the heels of RMNP’s
busiest year ever.
Community Services Memo

• RMNP visitor counts mirrored the EPVC in that their numbers were also down in
both January and February, with March showing a significant increase in visitors.

First Quarter Telephone Calls:
• Visitor Services staff answered slightly less (-29) telephone inquiries during the
first quarter 2016 over last January - March.
• This represents a decrease of 1.4% in calls in the first quarter.

Volunteer Ambassadors:
• The number of volunteer Ambassadors on the roster at the end of the first
quarter totaled 60; this includes seven Ambassadors who live out-of-town over
the winter but intend to return to live this summer in Estes Park.
• During the first quarter, four applications were received from people interested in
training to become Ambassadors. One application was withdrawn (the individual
was not able to make the time commitment); therefore, there are three new
potential Ambassadors as of 3/31/17. They will be trained during the second
quarter.
