Scenic and Historic Byway. The agreement establishes the
cooperative linkages required to develop the Corridor Management
Plan for the Byway. The agreement will assist TARP (the Tourism
and Recreation Program of Boulder County, Inc.) with grant fund
requests. Nothing in the agreement obligates the Scenic Byway
Interest Group participants to appropriate or expend funds or to
enter into any contract or other obligations. Participants
include: Boulder, Gilpin and Larimer Counties, Lyons, Nederland,

and TARP. Staff requested no action be taken at this time,
allowing an opportunity for additional review. A Committee
recommendation will be requested in July.

The Museum is in receipt of a $7,500 grant from the Temple Buell
Foundation and will, therefore, be able to fund the History Camp
for 1993. A portion of the grant will be used to sponsor
scholarships.
REPORTS.
Conference Services Coordinator Thomas reported that the Town is
providing a valuable service to groups with volunteer committees by
providing coordinated conference services. Such is the case for
the upcoming Snow and Ice Conference. Staff prepared a video
attracting attendance for the Estes Park conference which was
viewed by the Committee. The Town's out-of-pocket expenses for the
video consisted of labor. The video will be widely distributed
throughout the country, including APWA members. Local production
firms were utilized in the video preparation. The Committee
commended Coordinator Thomas for the video preparation.
The Conference Center Reader Board sign should be installed by June
4 th.
Chairman Dekker reported that each Platte River Power Authority
(PRPA) member receives funds to be used toward economic
development. Chairman Dekker presented a check in the amount of

Anfield has joined the Denver Visitors Bureau and Boulder Chamber
of Commerce and, in conjunction with an advertising campaign,
intends to book tours from Denver hotels on day trips to Estes Park
with packages that will include lunch and/or dinner. The firm now
