Chairman Barker called the meeting of the Community Development Commit
tee to order at 2:00 P.M.
SISTER CITY PROGRAM - REVIEW OF POLICY.
As requested by the Committee in April, Director Stamey submitted a
policy concerning the sister city program. Staff suggested that a
sister city relationship should provide economic and learning values,
and that these two items should be evaluated prior to any significant
expenditure. A sister city affiliation with a community such as
Hammond, Oregon, which would include exchanging correspondence and
materials (e.g.: the town pin, newspaper, newsletter, photographs, and
brochure) should not have any disadvantages. The Committee recommends
approval of the policy, plus the affiliation with Hammond, Oregon.
Regarding the International Sister City Program, staff reported the
application has been submitted to Sister Cities International, and they
will provide assistance in Estes Park's affiliation with Neikko, Japan.
ART COLLECTION - DONATION OF SCULPTURE.
Staff reported that the Charles Phares Family has expressed a desire to
donate a bronze life-size eagle sculpture as a memorial to the former
EPURA Chairman. Dan Ostermiller has been commissioned as the sculptor
and the family has requested the statue be placed in Riverside Plaza on
a rock outcropping located at the northeast corner of the Dark Horse
Parking Lot. As the statue meets the Visual Arts Collection Policy
relative to materials, design, and theme, the Committee recommends
approval of the request, contingent upon the Parks Superintendent being
involved in final siting, particularly pertaining to public safety
(photo opportunities).
ENTERTAINMENT AGREEMENT - COURAGE CLASSIC.
Director Stamey reported that the Town has agreed to provide entertain
ment during the "Courage Classic" event scheduled June 8. A small
portion of the PRPA Community Development Fund will be used. Enter
tainment will be similar to that being provided during the "Ride the
Rockies" event. Following discussion, the Committee recommends staff
be authorized to obtain such entertainment, as appropriate.
COMMUNITY PROFILE - REVIEW.
The Committee reviewed a sample copy of a proposed profile. White
stock, using green ink for the Town logo, and blue ink for all print
material will be used for the "working document." Director Stamey
noted that he had reviewed the draft with the Board of Realtors, and
that the Board has indicated they would commit for up to 2,000 copies of
the profile. Following review, the Committee recommends approval of the
profile format, authorizing staff to proceed with printing.
There being no further business. Chairman Barker adjourned the meeting
tpqiT-1^j_ySessi nr), to discuss testimony given in confidence.
