UNFINISHED BUSINESS
On-Going Special Event
Barry Myers/Chamber_of Commerce was present, representing the
Special Events Committee, which proposes to commission Mr. Thomas M.
n t?«^arve a double life-size bust of Joel Estes, using a
1,400 1,500 pound block of Colorado Yule marble. The Committee is
requesting EPURA to fund the start-up costs of $3,300. These costs
include the fee and transportation of the marble, erection of the
working platform and research by the artist. The Public Works
Committee has recommended approval of this project and following is
a portion of their recommendation as it relates to EPURA:
1) Should donations exceed $9,000, such funds will be returned
to EPURA, replacing their initial expenditure of $3,300 thus
allowing EPURA to become a "guarantor" — not a "donor".
Placement of the completed work of art will be determined by the
Town and EPURA. Mr. Myers requested, and the Board agreed, to hold
tinal dedication of the Joel Estes marble bust until the Estes
family reunion in 1987, in Estes Park. This reunion will coincide
with the Town's 70th anniversary.
It was moved and seconded (Frantz-Ericson) that EPURA act as
guarantor for start-up costs of $3,300 as stated in Item 1 above.
Motion carried.
STAFF
Director Anderson reported that the presentation of the streetscape
and river corridor design on June 17th was attended by approximately
75 people and received unanimous support from those present.
Inasmuch as the Town Board has given its approval of the proposed
street and river corridor work, and, the merchants/residents of
Estes Park have given their overwhelming support for the project, it
was moved and seconded (Pohl-Frantz) that the Chairman be authorized
to approve work releases (at a price to be negotiated and approved
by the Board of Commissioners) for the preparation of construction
drawings for Streetscape 3 and the River Corridor, in accordance
with the Master Plan submitted by Design Studios West. Motion
carried.
It was moved and seconded (Pohl-Frantz) that Staff be authorized to
obtain quotes for the surveying necessary to do the streetscape and
river corridor work. Motion carried.
Director Anderson stated that Staff appreciates the Board's
continuing support given them and Design Studios West, throughout
the many streetscape and river corridor design meetings held from
January - June of this year. Chairman Phares complimented Design
Studios West for their presentations, and, their response to
merchant/resident concerns as the design meetings and workshops
progressed.
A fully executed license for the power plant parking lot has been
received by EPURA and a copy forwarded to the Town for insurance
purposes. Staff will coordinate with the Bureau of Reclamation
regarding striping of the lot. A questionnaire is being distributed
by local merchants to employers which should aid in determining
potential usage of this lot by employers/employees.
All underground tanks have been removed from the Conoco and Husky
Station properties. The soil at these locations will be tilled
periodically for a one month period to allow complete aeration of
the area.
The Cleave Street parking lot retaining walls have been poured and
curb and gutter work is ready to be poured. EPURA is still on
schedule for a July 1 opening date.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
