DISCUSSION ITEMS AND REPORTS.
1. Transfer of EPURA Easements to the Town of Estes Park - Due to the
abolishment of EPURA, any property or easements held by EPURA must be
transferred to the Town of Estes Park. Research shows that of 20 easements
held by EPURA, all but four have been transferred to the Town of Estes Park.
Paperwork to transfer the four remaining easements will be completed under the
direction of Atty. Benedetti.
2. Status of Mural at Local Roots Co-Op - Atty. Benedetti is taking steps to have
EPURA added to a creditor’s list for the Local Roots Co-Op in an attempt to
recover funds granted to the organization for a mural at their former business
location. It is Atty. Benedetti’s opinion that the likelihood of reimbursement
through the courts is limited, and as a better course of action, suggested that
staff work with former employees of the Co-Op to have the mural completed.
3. Cultural Arts Council (PACEPI Return of EPURA Grant Funds - CACEP
received $5,000 from EPURA for improvements at their West Park Center
location. Due to issues with an easement, they are unable to move forward with
the project and have returned the funds to EPURA. The $5,000 will be deposited
into the General Fund and utilized for the Grandstands Project.
4. Grandstands Project Update - Progress continues towards a June 14 completion
date for the project. No new pay applications have been submitted by the
general contractor since the last regular EPURA meeting. Upon conclusion of
the project, final payment will be held until all punch-listed items are completed.
Exec. Dir. Richardson noted that the date for the Grandstands grand opening
ceremony has been changed and is now scheduled for noon on Wednesday,
June 30, 2010.
