Merle Moore attended a meeting on the Larimer County Scientific and Cultural Facilities District. Merle suggested this district could be very beneficial to Estes Park if the Town was part of the district. The movement to be involved in the tax district is gaining attention and interest in the Estes Valley. Chair Lebeau requested PAB members be made aware of future meetings so they could attend. Ronna Boles contacted the school regarding a memorial type tree. The school has been approached with many offers of such memorials; they are considering offers and how to approach such a program. The board will begin tackling a revision of the Tree Ordinance and an urban forestry program. During the next meeting, the board will review the current ordinances and policies. Brian Berg will bring forward similar community information. The Estes Valley Development Code Appendix dealing with recommended plantings will be provided to PAB members prior to the next meeting. Parks Advisory Board – May 8th, 2015 – Page 2 ARBOR DAY 2015 Chair Lebeau reported everything is in place for the elementary school celebration on May 15th. The Eagle Rock celebration will be held on May 14th and the Town will take part in that celebration by planting trees. Art contest winners were selected and t-shirts and temporary tattoos have been ordered. An event program was passed out to TAB members and everyone was encouraged to attend. PUBLIC ART POLICY AND ORDINANCE Merle Moore met with Director Muhonen and Administrator Lancaster regarding the art policy and ordinance. It was agreed the ordinance would stand and a number of changes were made to the guidelines to bring clarity regarding the PAB’s advisory role to the Town Board in the art policy process. The ordinance and policy will go to the Town Board for approval on May 12th, with Brian Berg presenting and Merle Moore answering questions regarding policy content. Memorials donations will be handled the same as other artwork. The guidelines document will be referenced in the process, with PAB determining appropriate pieces and plaques to be accepted. It was moved and seconded (Moore/Lockwood) to recommend to the Town Trustees for their approval the ordinance for the Art In Public Places program and the accompanying final draft guidelines for the program, with the motion passed unanimously. Trustee Holcomb presented an idea for funding currently utilized by Loveland. An annual auction in Loveland’s sculpture garden funds Loveland’s art program. Trustee Holcomb recommended contacting the representative for more information to get a similar program started for Estes Park. With no other business to discuss, a motion was made and seconded (Moore/Lockwood) to adjourn the meeting at 11:57 pm, with all voting in favor. APPENDIX C.
