And, pursuant to a citizen request, asked the Board to consider a presentation for a laser light show on July <h. Concurring with the request, the following proposal was made: > LASERTAINMENT PRODUCTIONS - JENNA MacGREGOR. Pursuant to the cancellation of this year's fireworks display (sponsored by the Jaycees), and concern for the negative affect to the community and sales tax revenues, Ms. MacGregor contacted Lasertainment to provide a laser light show for Estes Park. Ms. MacGregor's proposal included the following: show cost (show length 25-30 minutes, 60' diagonal portable screen (actual size 40'x40'), coordinated to music, and sight and sound distance is unknown) was negotiated down to $10,000; estimated list of expenses, such as equipment rental, liability insurance, etc. = $6,180; volunteer assistance to stage the event; fundraising; and site. EVRPD Exec. Dir. Gengler believes that the Stanley Park Ballfields could accommodate the performance and spectators, and he is willing to arrange an emergency Board of Directors meeting for approval of the Agreement for use of the grounds. Additionally, the Dive Team had made prior arrangements to manage parking/fees and help with trash collection. Donations: within 3.5 hours, pledges from area merchants were received totaling $5,525 and Ms. MacGregor believes continued support would be supplied. Trustee discussion followed (adequate public safety controls-Chief Richardson confirmed the Police Department will staff the event-Chamber of Commerce participation, simulcast possibilities, feasibility of assistance tom the Town's Special Events Coordinator due to pre-scheduled events/time constraints, quality show, confirmation an FAA permit is not required, advertising, and confirmation that the Town, if approved, would sign the contract and be held responsible for the estimated expenditure of $16,000). Thus, Trustee Habecker moved the Town be an active participant in th presenting a laser light show on July 4, authorizing the Mayor to execute a Contract with Lasertainment Productions, and: (1) that Administrator Widmer establish a team ASAP to stage the event, (2) the Town serve as Guarantor of $5,000 if such funds are not raised, (3) the Town execute the Agreement with the EVRPD, and (4) the understanding that the Chamber of Commerce and/or Ms. MacGregor will take the lead in soliciting donations. Trustee Gillette seconded the motion. Trustee Barker encouraged the business community to continue their donations. The Board commended Ms. MacGregor for her effort on this event. 4.

John Baudek, Mayor Vickie O'Connor, Town Clerk RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado, June 27,2002 Minutes of a Regular meeting of the PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE of the Town of Estes Park, Larimer County, Colorado. Meeting held in the Municipal Building in said Town of Estes Park on the 27th day of June 2002. Committee: Chairman Gillette, Trustees Jeffrey-Clark and Newsom Attending: All Absent: None Also Attending: Town Administrator Widmer, Police Chief Richardson, Fire Chief Dorman, Police Administrative Commander Filsinger, Public Works Director Linnane, Construction Manager Sievers, , Deputy Clerk van Deutekom Chairman Gillette called the meeting to order at 7:30 a.m. POLICE DEPARTMENT Chief Richardson introduced Officer Cinnamon Messinger who was hired on June 120'. REPORTS 25 MPH Speed Limit - Summit Dr. Chief Richardson and Director Linnane explained that the current speed limits on Summit Dr. and Old Ranger Rd. are too high based on site distance, hill slope, and width of roadway that result in unsafe road conditions for each. Staff is requesting the speed limits be reduced to 25 MPH on both streets to improve safety. As a result of the neighborhood meeting held in May, Director Linnane reported that a speed table will be constructed on Summit Dr. in September, similar to the one in front of the elementary school. The Committee recommends reducing the speed limits on Summit Dr. and Old Ranger Rd. to 25 MPH. Elementary School Traffic Control. Chief Richardson and Director Linnane briefed the Committee on a meeting between Principal John Waller, parents, and Town staff regarding safety concerns relative to traffic volume around the schools. While researching possible solutions, it was revealed that in 1998 the Town retained the services of Felsburg, Holt & Ullevig, traffic engineering consultants, to study the traffic issues for the entire school campus area; included in that study was the elementary school. The consultants presented a series of recommendations to the Town, several of which have been implemented. Director Linnane noted the final recommendation addressed the possible need for a crossing guard; however, an engineering study of vehicle gaps would be required prior to any action being initiated. After reviewing the engineering study and conferring with Director Linnane, staff recommends the following: 1. Conduct an engineering study in .2003 of the vehicle gaps located at the crosswalk in front of the elementary school. 2. Involve and include the R-3 School District as a partner in the problem solving process and implementation of solutions concerning student safety at the elementary school. Areas discussed include budget impacts, crossing guard requirements, additional potential crossing guard sites, and increased fines in school zones. Concluding all discussion, the Committee recommends staff proceed with the vehicle gap study at the crosswalk in front of the elementary school as presented. The study will be conducted while school is in session to ensure accurate data. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS , Public Safety Committee - June 27,2002- Page 2 35 MPH Speed ~ Limit - Hwy 7. After receiving numerous calls, Director Linnane reported that staff requested the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) review the speed limit from Lexington Ln. south to Peak View Dr. to determine if the 35 MPH posted speed limit is appropriate. Larry Haas/CDOT Traffic Engineer noted that the Town can make recommendations regarding speeds on state highways; however, CDOT ultimbtely is responsible for determining appropriate highway speed limits. In this particular case, preliminary results of a traffic study support the conclusion that the 35 MPH speed limit currently posted appears to be too low. The final report is anticipated withi 9 the next six weeks. Employee Panic Alarm System. Construction Manager Sievers updated the Committee on the status of the Employee Panic Alarm System: all the alarms have been installed and provide a means to signal Dispatch of an emergency situation from the following locations: Finance, Police Lobby, Administratign, Engipeering, Planning, __ _ _ _ _ - Board Rm.,Irid*89@rtisiriD. FIRE DEPARTMENT (EPVFD) Dannels Fire Station Remodel - Approval Request. Chief Dorman explained that the second floor of the Dannels Fire Station was left unfinished for use as future quarters for firefighters. Due to increases in call volume/services, and the desire to reduce response'times, the Dept. is preparing for the eventuality of having firefighters working shifts at the fire station. This remodel request includes construction of sleeping quarters, bath/shower and kitchen facilities, a fitness area, and a lounge. Kdditionally, the members of the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Dept. have expressed interest in installing a fire pole. . Materials are either being donated or purchased at a reduced rate Hy,the Estes Park Volunteer Fire Dept., Inc. and the Fire Dept. volunteers are donating the labor. The only budget impact will be costs for Water Dept. fees ($2,300) which can be budgeted in the year 2003 and possibly the Upper Thompson Sanitation Dept. fees ($1,280). These figures are based on the number of water fi*ture units for a kitchen and one bath. The Committee recommends approval of the remodel request as outlined above. REPORTS Emergency Operations Plan and Evacuation Procedures. In response to concerns regarding recent wildfire activity, Chief Dorman and Commander Filsinger briefed the Committee on the existing Emergency Operations Plan and Evacuation Procedures.

Development Plan 02-16 and Rezoning, Taharra Mountain Lodge - continued to the July 16, 2002 meeting at the request of the applicant. It was moved and seconded (Amos/McKinney) that the Consent Agenda be accepted and it passed unanimously with one absent. 2. PUBLIC COMMENT None. 3. AMENDED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 02-06, GOLDWATER CONDOMINIUMS. LOT 1. STAUFFER SUBDIVISION, Applicant: Hillery Parrack Commissioner Kitchen excused herself from discussion and voting due to a conflict of interest. Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. Planning staff approved a staff level review for the Coldwater Condominiums in February of 2002. The proposal included two duplexes, totaling four units, located along the south bank of the Big Thompson River on Riverside Drive. Approval included a minor modification to allow a portion of the driveway to be located in the landscape setback. The applicant requests a minor modification, per Section 3.7 of the Estes Valley Development Code, to allow a twenty-five (25) percent encroachment of a portion of the driveway in the landscape setback. A retaining wall will conceal part of the driveway. Approval would allow the drive to be located 11.25 feet from the edge of the right-of-way instead of the 15 feet normally required by the Code. It is staffs opinion that there are special circumstances that exist. The lot is relatively narrow and has a fifty (50) foot river setback on the opposite property line. The applicant would like to leave the structures in the proposed location to preserve a large Ponderosa Pine tree. Moving the driveway closer to the right-of-way would allow easier turning movements for the two eastern units. The development plan falls within the maximum Floor Area Ratio (FAR) and impervious coverage requirements. Joe Coop of Van Hom Engineering was present to represent the applicant and answer questions from the Commission. Mr. Coop advised that the retaining wall between the highway and the driveway will vary from 1 foot to 3 foot. Public Comment: None. It was moved and seconded (Amos/McKinney) to approve the amended Development Plan 02-06, Coldwater Condominiums, Lot 1, Stauffer Subdivision and it passed unanimously with one absent and Kitchen abstaining. BRADFORDPUILISHINGCO. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Estes Valley Planning Commission - June 18, 2002 Page 2 4. SPECIAL REVIEW 02-02, VOICESTREAM. SW 1 /4 OF THE SE 1/4 OF SECTION 25, T5N, R73W OF THE 6TH P.M. CONTAINING TEN ACRES MORE OR LESS AND NE 1/4 OF THE NE 1/4 : Sl/2 OF THE NE.1/4: El/2 OF THE NW lM ALL IN SECTION 36, T5N, R73W OF THE 6TH P.M., PROSPECT MOUNTAIN, Applicant: VoiceStream Wireless Planner Shirk reviewed the staff report. This is a request by VoiceStream Wireless to construct an unguyed and unlit, ninety-five (95) foot tall tower on top of Prospect Mountain. The proposed tower would be able to hold up to four wireless service providers. The applicant has had discussions with AT&T, who wishes to place antennas at the top of the tower. VoiceStream wolild then place antennas slightly below that, and two additional locations would be available for future providers. Currently, VoiceStream Wireless has two (2) existing facilities operating in Estes Park. The sites are limited, and allow no room for expansion. The proposed site would increase th4 coverage area in Estes Park by six (6) times, and eliminate*the need for one of the existing sites located at 1271 Range View Road. This proposal meets the requirements of Section 3.5 "Special Review Uses" of the Estes Valley Development Code by mitigating to the maximum extent feasible, potential adverse impact on nearby land uses and the environment. This proposal would have no adverse impacts on public facilities and services. Nearby land uses would be minimally impacted. The proposed antenna is internal td the parcel on whith it is- to be located, and would be approximately 850 feet from the nearest-property line. A new antenna tower is a permitted use in the "RE" district; however the development code states this is the least preferred commercial mobile radio service (CMRS) facility. New CMRS facilities must use the most preferred facility type (co-location) where technically feasible. The applicant has submitted a written statement addressing there are no otherco-location sites available, and a new tower is the only option t6 provide adequate coverage. The proposal complies with the required setback of 100% of tower height, as well as, meeting the development code design requirements. The extent of site disturbance will be minimal and limited to the lease area with approximately 10-12 trees being removed. The tower will be designed to accommodate four (4) antenna clusters at different heights, which exceeds the co-location standards set forth in the development code. This request has been submitted to all applicable reviewing agency staff and no significant issues or concerns were expressed relative to code compliance or the provision of public services. Scott Kennedy a consultant for VoiceStream Wireless was present to represent the applicant and answer questions from the Commission. Mr. Kennedy discussed the reasons a location on top of Prospect Mountain is a good choice for an antenna tower. Commissioner Amos questioned whether all the antennas on top of Prospect Mountain are cell antennas or if the local radio station could co-locate on a tower. Chris Tenny, radio frequency engineer, stated the antennas use radio frequencies, therefore h radio station could 60-locate. However, radio stations require higher power than the current cell towers; therefore this could be a limiting factor for a radio station wishing to co-locate on this particular tower. Public Comment: None. It was mov6d and seconded (Amos/Kitchen) to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners of Special Review 02.02, VoiceStream, SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 25, T5N, R73W of the 6th P.M. containing ten acres more or less and NE 1/4 ofthe NE 1/4 ; Sl/2 of the NE 1/4; El/2 of the NW 1/4 all in Section 36, T5N, R73W of the 6th P.M., Prospect Mountain with the following conditions, and it passed unanimously with one absent. 1. Existing VoiceStream "Brown" site located on 1271 Range View Road shall be removed within six (6) months of completion of new tower.

White DATE: July 8,2002 RE: Hearing Officer - Personnel Matter BACKGROUND: The Personnel Policy Manual of the Town of Estes Park provides that an employee has the right to appeal the Town Administrator's decision with regard to any disciplinary action against said employee. Upon filing of the request for an appeal, the Town Board shall appoint a hearing officer to hear the appeal. An employee has appealed Town's Administrator Widmer's affirming of the disciplinary action against said employee. It is necessary for the Town Board to appoint a hearing officer. I am recommending to the Town Board that Daniel C. Muffly be appointed to act as Hearing O fficer. Mr. Muffly is fully qualified to handle this type of matter as he is an attorney whose area of expertise is employment law. Mr. Muffly practices in Ft. Collins. Accompanying this memorandum is a copy of Mr. Muffly' s resume. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: Mr. Muffly's fee is $175.00 per hour. This hourly rate is appropriate for this type of work. The total amount of Mr. Muffly's fee would be determined by the number of hours he devotes to the appeal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the appointment of Daniel C. Muffly as Hearing Officer.
