ARTS PROGRAM - UPDATE.
Russell Kurth, Chairman/The Cultural Arts Committee, appeared
stating that the initial meeting of the Arts Committee will take
place September 20th at 2:00 P.M. The purpose of the meeting is
to develop an organizational structure for the Community Arts
Council of Estes Park, and to discuss and affirm objectives. Mr.
Kurth also requested the assistance of Town Administrator
Klaphake, Community Development Director Stamey, Trustee Garrett,
and various area volunteers. Discussion will include grants
which may be available from the Colorado Endowment Council.
Alice Sullivan, Director/Estes Park Art Center commented on her
attendance at the Colorado Association of Rural Community Arts
Training Institute, held in Winter Park. Primary issues dis
cussed were: leadership and empowerment, creating the "spirit of
the place", and economic development and cultural tourism.
The Committee expressed their appreciation to Mr. Kurth and Ms.
Sullivan for their informative reports.
NAMING OF PARKS AND PARKING LOTS - REFERRAL FROM PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE.
The Committee discussed the formal naming of eight (8) various
parks and fourteen (14) parking lots in the community. The
Committee recommends retaining the sequentially numbered system
for all parking lots, and that the Committee, along with the
potential assistance of EVIA and the School District, formally
rename the following three (3) parks commonly referred to as
"Peacock", "Poison", and "West Riverside." The Committee also
suggests that if the parks are named for area residents, they be
posthumously named, and that each parking lot be identified with
its appropriate number.
U. S. HIGHWAY 36/STATE HIGHWAY 7 ENTRANCES - REVIEW.
The Committee reviewed a slide presentation given by Community
Development Director Stamey of the entrances for Highways 36 and
7. Following discussion, the Committee recommends staff approach
the State Highway Department to discuss traffic signposts used by
the Department, i.e.: what is their ultimate goal for the
treatment of such poles (paint them or allow them to weather
naturally).
