The Town's share would be through a lease/purchase agreement over a four- year period for $18,036/year. T the delivery date is now estimated to be late June 2005.

(The return rate on the fundraising drive was less than 3% and normal is 10%). The Dept.'s 2005 Budget included $31,000 for the purchase of a Ford Expedition to replace the existing 1990 Jeep Cherokee and staff is recommending postponing the Expedition purchase until 2006, transferring the allocated funds from the 2005 Budget to be used toward the purchase of the dive rescue truck. As the 2006 purchase of the Expedition is an addition to the replacement of a wildfire fire engine, staff is also recommending this purchase be discussed prior during adoption of the 2006 Budget. A pumper truck purchase is also anticipated in the 2006 Budget. Discussion followed on used equipment/vehicles due to the limited use/yr. v. new equipmenUvehides, with Chief Dorman clarifying that substantial usage occurs on the apparatus installed on the truck, all of which must be NFPA approved.

Fall construction will include final grading and drainage improvements, resurfacing all arenas, and installation of underground utility mains. The engineer's estimate and authorization to go to bid will be presented at the August meeting; and if approved, bid packages will be sent in August with work commencing in September. The Phase I design was budgeted at $50,000 for 2005. The scope of work has been expanded to provide better coordination of the phased construction for inter-related improvements. The current proposal is $55,991 plus reimbursables estimated at $5,500. The construction cost for 2005 will be reduced by $11,491 to ensure this project remains within budget. It is expected the 2006 design costs will be less than the $50,000 budgeted; therefore the additional 2006 construction cost will be recaptured in this line item. The Committee recommends approval of the contract with DSW/VHE for the final design of Phase I improvements at Stanley Park including construction drawings, bid documents, bid process, and RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - June 2,2005 - Page 3 construction administration at a cost of $61,194 with a reallocation of $11,194 from the 2006 Budget. 3.

Hinze stated the Rodeo Committee requested an increase of $7,000 in prize money for the 2005 budget as requested by PRCA, bringing the total prize money to $21,000 for 2005. Don Cunningham, Rooftop Rodeo President, advised that PRCA has retracted their request for an additional $1,000 per event for 2005 and the Rodeo Committee does not wish to increase prize money this year. However, if prize money is increased $7,000 for 2006, the stock contractor's costs will also increase by $7,000. There was no further discussion or budget consideration at this time. The Pikes Peak Rodeo has moved the date of their rodeo to the same week as the Rooftop rodeo this year. The PRCA rule book states that if a rodeo has moved more than 2 weeks from the previous year's date then a complaint may be filed requesting denial of the date change. The Committee will look into the situation to determine if a complaint should be filed. Mgr. Hinze expressed concern that the quality of the rodeo could be harmed due to a lack of competitors.

This property is zoned "RM" Multi-Family Residential and RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Community Development - June 2,2005 - Page 4 , a special review is required for child care centers in this zoning district. The applicant has requested a waiver of the $400 special review application fee as they are a nonprofit and this is a temporary location. The Montessori School is continuing to search for a permanent location. The Committee recommends approval of the special review fee waiver for the Montessori School. 2. Grading & Excavation Permit Ordinance - Request Approval. Dir. Joseph explained that the former Chapter 14.12.030 Grading Permits was omitted when the International Building Codes were adopted with Ordinance #7-04. The Building Dept. is requesting the chapter be restored with the "emergency clause" included in the Ordinance. The Committee recommends approval of the Ordinance as presented. 3. Estes Park Pride Awards - Request Approval. Trustee Levine informed the Committee this program was developed to give special recognition to Town residents.

DRAINAGE PROJECT - REQUEST APPROVAL TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION. In April, the Committee authorized the reallocation of funds from the Twisted Pine Drainage Project for this higher priority project, authorizing staff to solicit concrete prices, returning to the Committee for approval. Three of the four local concrete contractors notified staff that their workload and size of the project prevented their submittal of a quote. The remaining contractor, Johnson Flatwork, submitted a cost of $3,900. Department references are very favorable with Johnson, the work could begin mid-to-late July; budget specifics include: Johnson Flatwork $3,900 Trench grate (purchase) 3,950 Asphalt & contingency 2,150 $10,000 The Committee recommends approval of the contract in the amount of $3,900 with Johnson Flatwork, authorizing staff to proceed with the project as presented. STREET DEPT. SNOWPLOW & EQUIPMENT PURCHASE - REQUEST APPROVAL TO PURCHASE BUDGETED ITEM. The Street Dept. budget includes $24,500 for a 10' snowplow for the existing 1997 John Deere (JD) Loader. This small loader provides improved maneuverability for clearing snow in parking lots and smaller areas in the downtown area. Staff solicited one bid from a JD Dealer for a JD coupler/Rylind snowplow to standardize the equipment and eliminate the expense of a custom built coupler. Colorado Machinery/Ft. Collins provided a bid in the amount of $20,869. The Committee recommends approval of the bid as presented. ANNUAL STREET OVERLAY PROGRAM - WEST RIVERSIDE DR./ESTES PARK SANITATION DISTRICT COOPERATIVE ASPHALT PROJECT - REQUEST APPROVAL TO SOLICIT BIDS. Staff reported that a portion of the approved overlay project included the repaving of W. Riverside Dr. from the Post Office to Crags Dr. Due to the poor soil conditions encountered during the Estes Park Sanitation District W. Riverside Project, and the RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works - June 9,2005 - Page 2 urgency to repave, staff is requesting authorization to: (1) solicit price quotes from paving contractors Coulson and LaFarge, and (2) proceed with the repaving of W. Riverside Dr. in late June. The modified 2005 Street Improvement Budget is $100,000, with $70,000 previously approved for the overlay portion of the program. Estimated asphalt expense for the Town's portion of W. Riverside Dr. is $20,000. Following discussion, the Committee recommends approval of staffs request, authorizing the budgeted expenditure of up to $20,000. Staff will return to the Committee with a final report. SCOTT AVE. PONDS SPILLWAY MAINTENANCE PROJECT - REQUEST APPROVAL TO PROCEED. Staff budgeted $20,000 in the Community Reinvestment Fund in anticipation of potential spillway maintenance for the Scott Ave. eastern pond. Pursuant to current debris build- up along the spillway, dam crest, and the resulting higher water level, staff met with Cornerstone Engineering. In summary, staff is seeking approval to proceed with the maintenance of the spillway and dam crest, including removal of vegetation and the placing of riprap protection along both. For a fee of $2,000, Cornerstone Engineering would: 4 Provide all floodway permitting from the Army Corps of Engineers and the Town 4 Prepare a construction plan 4 Prepare and request unit costs from the Fish Creek Trail Contractor to perform the work and 4 Provide construction management. The remaining portion of the budget would provide essential maintenance this year. The current engineer's total cost estimate is $30,000, thus additional maintenance will be planned next year. If the Fish Creek Trail Contactor cannot perform the work for the unit bid costs of the Trail, costs will then be solicited from two other contractors to proceed with the project. Costs will be limited to the 2005 budgeted amount ($20,000), with a phased approach if needed, and adjacent property owners will be notified prior to performing the maintenance. Following additional clarification, the Committee recommends approval of staff's request to expend the budgeted funds ($20,000) and, due to the uncertainty of the bid from the Trail Contractor, contacting two other contractors, proceeding with the project as requested. Staff will return to the Committee with a final report on this project. MISCELLANEOUS. Robert Obele appeared before the Committee expressing his concern with the Maintenance Landscape Project located at the Bureau of Reclamation Building. In summary: the Parks Dept. solicited bids, the specs were ambiguous, and there was no response forthcoming from the Dept. to clarify the specs. Subsequently, Mr. Obele was not awarded the contract and in his observation of the site, the selected contractor has not performed the work. Dir. Linnane reported that the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) contracted with the Town to provide maintenance outside landscaping at the power plant. A portion of the mowing has been completed and the Bureau of Reclamation has not commented that they are displeased with the project thus far. However, as it is evident there is are product and bidding process concerns, he will research and ascertain how these problems can be resolved and report his findings to the Committee. Pedestrian flashers/MacGregor/Elkhorn Intersection Crosswalk. Staff anticipates that the pedestrian flashers will be installed within the next 2 weeks. The project was delayed due to the special order green paint color. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works - June 9,2005 - Page 3 Town Board Room - Mechanical Problem. During a recent meeting, smoke entered the room from the ceiling. Upon investigation, staff determined the air-conditioning drive motor was the cause and it will be replaced under warranty. No further damage was reported. REPORTS: 1. Underpass Artistic Tile Proposal - Eagle Rock School. Cindy Elkins, Art Teacher and students from Estes Park High School and Eagle Rock School were in attendance to present their proposal. Students. "Peace Jam" is a project that involves an entire community. Named "Community Unity through Art" in Estes Park, the students are proposing an artistic tile art project for the pedestrian underpass that begins at the Visitors Center (east end) and concludes at the Kind Coffee/Ed's Cantina Center (west end). The plan includes seeking sponsorship from area organizations (Rotary, MacGregor Ranch, individuals, etc.) and providing blank clay tiles for community members to paint their artistic visions-from Kreative Kids to the Senior Center to bring unity to the community. The proposal already has received support from the Rotary Club. Cindy Elkins. Mile High Ceramics was contacted regarding the best tile for this artistic project and a 6"x6" red clay tile has been selected. Applying a base coat of white glaze (majolica process), the tile can then accept varied paint colors. The cost is $55.00/case (*$1.25/tile) and it covers approximately 1 l' of space. This process is extremely durable and the tiles can be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner; however, multiple use of abrasive cleaners would eventually damage the tile. Eagle Rock would be responsible for firing the tiles and professional installation will be discussed with local contractors. Due to its size, the east side portal could be the initial phase and this entire area would be completed prior to moving forward; students would like to get started the first week of August. Discussion followed, with the Committee noting their support, directing Eagle Rock to contact Public Works Office Mgr. Button to coordinate the project (prepare a scope of work, phasing, seek additional information from Mile High Ceramics and local contractors, and budget), returning to the Committee for further consideration at their July 14~h meeting. 2. Fish Creek Trail Pedestrian Path - Update. The project is 25% complete from Scott Ave. heading north, and the Contract completion date is 7/21 pending unforeseen difficulties. Installation of the retaining wall is requiring one of the traffic lanes on Fish Creek Road to remain closed and staff will issue a media release to update the community. 3. Street Sign Project - Update. Staff reported that the scope of this project is significantly more extensive than originally presented; however, it is moving forward. Three local contractors are interested, the Town will provide top line high intensity signs without logos to enhance readability, and intersections have been targeted. The project will begin and end in 2005. 4. Annual Tree Replacement Proiect - Update. The first phase of this project is complete, and due to significant public information being distributed, no complaints were received. The contractor, Estes Valley Home and Garden Center, is documenting costs for future work anticipated in 2006. 5. Picnic Shelter - Update. The foundation is complete and backfilling is being performed 6/09/05. Concrete slabs will be poured next week, and the building is scheduled to ship from Michigan 6/17; construction should be completed July 10th RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Public Works - June 9,2005 - Page 4 6. East Riverside Dr. Culvert Repair - Update. The contractor, Insituform Technologies, completed the job ahead of schedule and under budget. They have provided a pre and post construction video and it will be viewed at a future Committee meeting. 7. Public Works Staff Support. A re-organization of job responsibilities has occurred with Greg Sievers and Mike Mangelsen. They will now be sharing construction management projects and various contract administration.

Currently in Estes Park we have four Retail Liquor License establishments and one Liquor-Licensed Drugstore who can conduct tastings. Colorado Revised Statutes 12-47-301 sub-section 10 (A - F) allows tastings if authorized by a local municipality and only after adoption of a resolution or ordinance. In addition this statute allows for the municipality to employ stricter limits on the number of tastings per year per licensee, the days on which the tastings may occur, or the number of hours each tasting may last. The statute also allows the municipality to assign a fee for those liquor license premises authorized to conduct tastings. After reviewing two other municipalities "Alcoholic Beverage Tasting" ordinances/resolutions a draft resolution was developed with a review conducted by Town Attorney White and is attached to this action item memorandum. BudqeUCosts None Recommendations Since the state statute provides adequate guidelines outlining the number of days a licensee can hold tasting events, the days when tastings may occur and the number of hours per tasting event; Public Safety Committee recommends approval of the resolution as presented. 1 RESOLUTION NO. _ 13-05 WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Estes Park has determined that it is in the best * interest of the Town to adopt a Resolution allowing retail liquor stores or liquor-licensed drug stores in the Town of Estes Park to conduct alcoholic beverage tastings; and.

Box 325 Minturn, CO 81645 Dear Congressman Udall, The Town of Grand Lake held a Public Hearing on the proposed Wilderness Designation for Rocky Mountain National Park on June 13, 2005 to gather public comment. At the meeting, a clear majority of the citizens in attendance were in favor of such designation in order to preserve and manage the Park as wilderness. The Board of Trustees voted unanimously in favor of such designation for the Park with the following requests: 1. A one-fourth to one-half mile buffer be excluded from the designation around the border of Grand Lake (see attached map). The buffer is requested for fire mitigation and future development possibilities that are unknown at this time with the private property that borders the Park. 2. A one-eighth mile buffer, including the East Shore Trail and the Ranger Meadows Trail be excluded from the designation along the east shore of Shadow Mountain Lake and Lake Granby extending from the northern boundary of the Park near Grand Lake to the southern boundary of the Park (see attached map) for the Granby to Grand Lake trail. Headwaters Trails Alliance (HTA) has identified this section of the Park (East Shore Trail) as part of the future Granby to Grand Lake non-motorized trail. HTA's mission is to connect each Town in Grand County with non-motorized trails. Currently HTA has completed the Winter Park to Fraser and the Fraser to Granby trails. A planning grant has been awarded to HTA to plan the Granby to Grand Lake trail and initial analysis of possible routes indicates that the East Shore Trail, which lies mostly on National Park Service property, is the ideal candidate for the upper section of the Granby-to-Grand Lake Trail. Thank you for allowing the community of Grand Lake to comment on the Wilderness Designation for Rocky Mountain National Park. Since~b> L-4,024 qi i 1 4uh/,01/ J,* M.

A Public Hearing was set for June 13, 2005 to gather input from the citizens of the Grand Lake area on the proposed designation. Legal Notice No. 935 was published in the Sky- Hi News on May 26,2005 providing notification of the meeting and requesting comments. Four comments were received. Brief Histon, In 1964 Congress designated Rocky Mountain National Park as a wilderness Study area. In 1974 President Nixon recommended to Congress the Park be designated Wilderness. Congress never acted on that proposal even though the Park has been managed as a Wilderness Area. Representative Mark Udall has recently introduced a new bill that would designate approximately 95 percent of Rocky Mountain National Park as wilderness. Public Comments Jeri Peirce - "We have such a treasure in the wild and scenic backcountry'of this mountain area, and I feel that wilderness designation is the best way to insure its permanent preservation. Without wilderness designation, even our wildest areas remain vulnerable to future encroachment that chips away at the truly wild nature of our lands." James Cervenks - Y am writing in support of Wilderness designation in Rocky Mountain National Park, with appropriate boundaries. By appropriate, I urge that a wide enough corridor around existing roads and developed campgrounds, picnic areas and rest rooms (whether in developed areas or back country) be established to allow for the expected future expansion of these facilities. Additionally, two areas must be excluded from the Colorado River District area: 1. The existing corridor which a{Jows snowmobile (and future bicycle) travel between the Town of Grand Lake and the Forest Service North Supply Trailhead must be preserved. 2. Also, the East Shore Trail (including the trail whjch passes through Ranger Meadow) should be excluded from Wilderness designation. This exclusion should extend from the northern to southern Park/Forest Service boundaries. This route is a vital link in RO.

Also, with the recent Agreement between the International Mountain Biking Association and the National Park Service which recognizes the compatibility ofmountain biking within National Parks, the ability to use existing trails by mountain bikes must be preserved. It is significant tbat Wilderness designation prohibits use by MECHANIZED (not limited to motorized) means (e.g. mountain bikes)." Clint Roberts - "Please count my voice for the support of RMNP as a wilderness to protect it for our future." Headwaters Trails Alliance (HTA) - "As the Town of Grand Lake knows, Headwaters Trails Alliance recently received a Trail Planning Grant from Great Outdoors Colorado to assist in the planning of the proposed Granby-to-Grand Lake Trail. At this time, our initial analysis of possible routes indicates that the East Shore Trail, whichlies mostly on National Park Service property, is the ideal candidate for the upper section of the Granby- to-Grand Lake Trail. We respectfully request that a buffer extending for one half-mile above the high water marks of Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain Lake be established, exempting that half- mile buffer from wilderness designation. Additionally, the National Park Service just signed a General Agreement with the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA), where NPS and IMBA have agreed to work together to find quality bicycling routes in appropriate areas. We feel that the East Shore Trail is a good candidate for this process. Power boats routinely pull up along the shore adjacent to the trail to fish and picnic, within feet of the East Shore Trail. While a lovely trail, the East Shore Trail has never seemed to have a palpable "wilderness" character because of its immediate proximity to an extremely popular powerboating area." Staff Comments Staff met with Larry Gamble after the workshop to discuss the comments from the Town made at the presentation. At the workshop staff had two comments with regard to the wilderness designation around the Town. 1. A Vz mile border should be established around the Town and County to the south of Grand Lake. The border would act as a buffer for any possible future development that may happen around the border o f the park. Staff has been discussing possible annexations with landowners that border the park and the buffer would allow for future trails or even possibly roads to cross a small section of park property that may not be possible ifwilderness designation borders the property. Since future development is not known this buffer would allow for lecway. 103\ '06/21/2005 11:45 9705861397 ROCKY MOUNTAIN NP PAGE 04/05 2. A M mile border should be established along the east side of Shadow Mountain Reservoir from the northern border of the Park to the southern border with Indian Peaks Wilderness. Headwaters Trails Alliance has identified this section o f the Park (East Shore Trail) as part of the future Granby to Grand Lake non-motorized trail. HTA is requesting this section of the park not be designated wilderness because they have been working with the park to possibly allow other uses on that trail as part of tile Granby to Grand Lake Trail that would normally not be allowed (example - bikes). Mr. Gamble was concerned that Wilderness Groups (i.e. Sierra Club) may have concerns with leaving such awide area unprotected from the wilderness designation. Staff revised the comments to narrow the focus to three areas that the Town has currently identified as possible areas of development near the park boundary (see attached map). ' The first area would be identified as an area that possibly could be used for road access to the back o f a lot that is being proposed for annexation in the future. The owner o f proposed annexcd property had identified an affordable housing area on the back of the lot that could only be easily accessed through the National Park. Mr. Gamble suggested the Town only label a small area as being excluded from wilderness and also put a condition on it that states this section ofland be excluded from wilderness only if this area could be used for road access. If not available for road access the area should be wilderness. The second area would be along tile southern boundary o f Grand Lake where the Master Plan has identified that area as a possible trail corridor for a trail around the lake. Mr. Gamble said that this area did not have to be excluded from the wilderness designation because trails will be allowed to be constructed in the wilderness. The Town could also request a right to explore a trail around Grand Lake. The third area is the East Shore Trail along Shadow Mountain Lake. Staff and HTA has requested a !4 mile buffer from the shore for the proposed Granby to Grand Lake Trail. Larry Gamble, Dawn Packard (HTA) and staff will be working on this to narrow down the buffer zone. After staff revised the comments from the May 9'h Workshop there were still concerns with having the wilderness designation right up to thc border of the Grand Lake area. Fire mitigation would become more difficult to perform in the wilderness designation which could jeopardize the Town. Larry Gamble did mention that mechanical treatment could be used in the wilderness but there would be additional steps that the national park would have to go through to use mechanical tools (i.e. chain saws). Another concern would be the limited opportunities in the future for land swaps for affordable housing or access roads to future developments. Mr. Gamble mentioned that the Town would not need to exclude a portion o f property for trails because trails can be built in the wilderness. Staff would like to know if mechanical tools can be used to build that trail or if only hand tools would be allowed? 123 ~06/21/2005 11:45 9705861397 ROCKY MOUNTAIN NP PAGE 05/05 There is a lot of unanswered questions with this wilderness designation. It seems that if wilderness were to border the Grand Lake area then the possibilities for future development in or near the border would be impossibic. The fire mitigation near the border is very concerning. Once it becomes wilderness, advocates have more opportunity to stop fire mitigation because it is wilderness and it should not be mitigated. Staff recommends the Board ofTrustccs request a th to 4 mile buffer around the border of the Grand Lake area (see attached map). In addition the East Shore Trail (including the trail which passes through Raliger Meadow) should be excluded from Wilderness designation. This exclusion should extend·from the northern to southern ParldForest Service boundaries to allow for the future Granby to Grand Lake Trail. The East Shore Trail section may be modified after staff has met with Larry Gamble and Dawn Packard. For the Public Hearing, please review the attached material from the Park Service and prepare any questions or comments you may have on the designation. )22 Benefits of Wilderness *4:1? 1.10.Edti,flital//1 A I p P:%.~ Wilderness areas contribute significantly to our nation's health and well-being.

The following information is provided as a guide for answering questions of park visitors and neighbors regarding wilderness designation within Rocky Mountain National Park. It is taken from Appendix B of the original Wilderness Study for Rocky Mountain National Park dated January 1973, National Park Service Wilderness Management Policy, and Rocky Mountain National Park's Backcountry/Wilderness Management Plan. Discussion The Wilderness Act of 1964 recognizes that alllands which may be included ~ ~91 in the National Wilderness Preservation System are not to be managed alike. For example, the Act provides for certain multiple uses in wilderness areas of the national forests designated by the Act, such as existing grazing; mineral A./&45, - 452'/Ill/~1 prospecting until 1984, and mining (with authority to construct transmission ~.1~ lines, waterlines, telephone lines, and to use timber for such activities); and water conservation and power projects as authorized by the President. However, no extractive uses are contemplated by the Wilderness Act for National Park wilderness, since the Act provides, in part, that: " . . . the designation of any area of any park . . . as a wilderness area pursuant to this Act shall in no manner lower the standards evolved for the use and preservation of such park...in accordance with the Act of August 25, 1916, (and) the statutory authority under which the area was created . . ." The Wilderness Act of 1964 Of course, when Congress designates wilderness areas within national park areas, it may prescribe such standards and criteria for their use and management as it deems advisable. Wilderness designation by Congress would finally establish what portions of the park are to be managed as wilderness and what portions are not. There would be a clear distinction of B~ what management actions are acceptable for =-,--0„,91.-mifie,wi„..nwi,-.-.9,0*,-.#-ci. those lands inside and outside of wilderness. 1 . What is Allowed and Not Allowed in a Designated Wilderness Area that is pertinent to Rocky Mountain National Park Minimum Requirement All management decisions affecting wilderness must be consistent with the minimum requirement concept. This concept is a documented process used to determine whether administrative activities affecting wilderness resources or the visitor experience are necessary, and how to minimize impacts. The minimum requirement concept will be applied as a two-step process that determines: 1) Whether the proposed management action is appropriate or , necessary for administration of the area as wilderness and does not , 4 , · pose a significant impact to wilderness resources and character; and 4 i'' 2) The techniques and types of equipment needed to ensure that the * impact to wilderness resources and character is minimized. C; ' A Motorized Equipment/Mechanical Transport ·· Public use of aircraft for airdrops or for other purposes, the use of motorized g vehicles, equipment, generators and similar devices, and bicycles are not ' , Lr permitted in national park wilderness. Park management may use motorized rke ¢U 4. equipment and mechanical transport for administering the area as wilderness . only when it has been determined that the use of such equipment meets the i A k. minimum requirement concept. Scientific Activities s.ia -I.* The National Park Service recognizes the scientific value o f wilderness areas as natural outdoor laboratories and encourages research and data collection in wilderness areas. The National Park Service willlimit research and data gathering to those projects which require .4 such areas for their accomplishment. The Service may establish limitations on research and .L, data collection projects in order to protect wilderness character. Natural Resources Management The principle of non-degradation will be applied to wilderness. Natural processes will be allowed, insofar as possible, to shape and control wilderness ecosystems. Management intervention should only be undertaken to the extent necessary to correct past mistakes, the impacts of human use, and influences originating outside of wilderness boundaries. Non-native species of plants and animals will be eliminated where it is possible to do so by approved methods that preserve wilderness qualities. Cultural Resources Management i ./ Wilderness designation does not prevent the National Park Service from protecting and -CLA~, maintaining historic and cultural resources located within wilderness areas. These resources 4 4 qiF~ maybe protected and maintained according to the pertinent laws and policies governing 5 cultural resources, using management methods that are consistent with the preservation of wilderness character and values. - Fire Management Wildfires will be controlled as necessary to prevent unacceptable loss of wilderness values, loss of life, damage to property, and the spread ofwildfire to lands outside the wilderness. Fire roads, tool caches, aircraft, motorboats, and motorized firefighting equipment may be permitted for such control. Prescribed fire and hazard fuel reduction programs may be implemented according to approved plans. The minimum requirement concept will be followed for all fire activities in wilderness. Administrative Facilities, Practices and Uses Only those structures, administrative practices, and uses necessary for management and preservation of the wilderness qualities of an area are permitted. These may include, but need not be limited to, patrol cabins, limited facilities associated with saddle and pack stock control, and radio communication antennas x.. 8 7» and sites. k™lf..2 , 4 Visitor Structures and Facilities Trails, as well as footbridges and horse bridges that blend into the landscape, are allowed in wilderness areas. Primitive campsites, hitchracks, privies and signs are * permissible if necessary for protecting wilderness resources and values. No improvements are permitted that are primarily for the comfort and convenience of .:r - 1-„. visitors, such as developed picnic areas. . Roads and Utilities Public use roads and utility line rights-of-way are not permitted in national park .< wilderness. Existing roads and utilities will not be affected by wilderness designation because wilderness boundaries will be drawn to exclude existing .lu :· roads and utilities. Inholdings Unless acquisition by the United States is assured, inholdings will be excluded from the area classified as wilderness. The National Park Service will seek to acquire such inholdings as opportunities arise, and as they are acquired, to designate such lands as wilderness ifthey otherwise meet the criteria for such areas. *~ *j~~ Water Development Proiects =21£ r:**t~ Water development projects, whether for improvement of navigation, flood control, ;*6*g,,~' irrigation, power, or other multiple purposes, are generally not allowed in wilderness ~ areas. Boundaries for wilderness designation will be drawn to exclude existing water storage P...*r,I,1~ and water conveyance structures, assuring continued use of Grand River Ditch and its fID right-of-way; the Colorado-Big Thompson Project (CBT) gauging stations; and lands -- ,.i owned by the St. Vrain and Left Hand Water Conservancy District, including Copeland Reservoir. . f r Wilderness designation will not impose new restrictions on already allowed activities for 4/A the operation, maintenance and repair of the Adams Tunnel, which diverts water under ~'9# Rocky Mountain National Park, or other CBT facilities. Additional activities for these purposes will be allowed, should they be necessary to respond to emergencies. . Visitor Use Visitors must accept wilderness largely on its own terms. Users must accept certain risks from wildlife, weather conditions, physical features, and other natural phenomena that are inherent in the various elements and conditions that comprise a wilderness experience and primitive ' 127:034 < methods of travel. Hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, fishing, ..3·t.; 54+* 2* p 44*42/6 climbing, skiing and snowshoeing are appropriate for wilderness. Boating, except with motorboats and airboats, is an acceptable use of */- 4. f, 2 ,,9.-, 99* .1 park wilderness. Public use of motorized equipment or any form of , mechanical transport (e.g. bicycles) is prohibited. Dogs are not permitted on park trails whether they be inside or outside designated wilderness. 0,0 79. i ' Accessibility for Persons with Disabilities r . r. 4.r ar.. . ·, i -/2-59 . The use of a wheelchair, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, is allowed in wilderness. Service animals accompanying persons with disabilities are allowed on park trails and in wilderness. - Commercial Services . Wilderness-oriented commercial services that contribute to achieving public enjoyment of wilderness values (e.g. saddle and pack stock and -34-,3 guided hiking trips) are acceptable uses. The number, nature, and extent of these services are to be carefully controlled through ' -9..A 4 f regulations and permits so as to protect wilderness resources and values. Special Events The National Park Service will not sponsor or issue permits for special -ip---'- events to be conducted in wilderness if those events are inconsistent with lillie~lillillizillillillillilill wilderness resources and character, or if they do not require a wilderness ~f~ 1. ~.

Rescue and Other Emergency Operations ./W1--------- In emergency situations involving the health and safety o f persons and to meet recognized management needs, the use of aircraft, motorboats, and other motorized or mechanical equipment is permitted. . ' Rocky Mountain National Park Fact Sheet February 2005 Title: Wilderness Recommendation for Rocky Mountain National Park Status/Background: • In 1964 Congress designated Rocky Mountain National Park as a wilderness study area. In 1974 President Nixon recommended to Congress 239,835 acres for immediate designation and 5,169 acres for potential designation as wilderness in the park. Congress has not acted on that proposal. • Per National Park Service policy, all parklands that have been 4 formally recommended for wilderness will be managed to preserve wilderness resources and character until the , . legislative process of wilderness designation has been 9 completed. : D, • Present road, water, and utility corridors, and all developed .4.-2.- a.-4 7 .4 areas, are excluded from proposed wilderness. Wilderness ...9,4.- designation would not alter any current visitor activities or access within Rocky Mountain National Park, and would allow visitors to utilize the park in the same ways and places ' * that they presently enjoy. Lake of Glass and Taylor Glacier • Federal reserved water rights for park purposes are not an issue related to wilderness designation. Water rights for the park have been adjudicated through the State of I ,9 0 - · -e-Blr-- Colorado Water Courts. Consequently, no water rights claims for wilderness purposes are needed or desired by V 1, t the National Park Service. • In the 108th Congress, Representative Mark Udall introduced HR 640, a bill that would designate . ........I approximately 95 percent of Rocky Mountain National -· 3,'~~'Mt.,¢.~-zf..1,••~©faf, I J,- Park as wilderness. This bill increases the recommended ' ~€ 4 acreage amount based on modifications brought about by Hikers in wilderness land acquisition, water diversion or storage rights, and boundary adjustments since 1974.

Most of Rocky Mountain National Park clearly meets the criteria for wilderness designation and this will provide the very best means of preserving the Park for future generations and for the flora and fauna found in it. We urge the Town of Estes Park to do everything it can to persuade Congress to approve the recommended wilderness. 751 07 6-21- //James A. DeRuiter v Wi-k 4. 0-2 4it Wilma I.

Meeting held in the Municipal Building in said Town of Estes Park on the 31St day of January, 2005. Town Board: Mayor Baudek, Trustees Doylen, Jeffrey-Clark, Levine, Habecker, Newsom, and Pinkham Attending: Mayor Baudek, Trustees Doylen, Jeffrey-Clark, Levine, Habecker and Pinkham Also Attending: Town Attorney White and Town Administrator Repola Absent: Trustee Newsom and Clerk O'Connor Presenters: Vaughn Baker, Stan Austin and Larry Campbell National Parks Service Congressional: Doug Young District Policy Director for Congressman Mark Udall Anne Brewster from Senator Allard's office A joint meeting was called with representatives from the RMNP and Town Board to discuss RMNP Wilderness Status. Mayor Baudek called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. Rocky Mountain National Park Wilderness Status • History of American Wilderness dating back to 1832-1915 when an Act of Congress established Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). • What is Wilderness? "...lands designated for preservation and protection in their natural condition...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man...an area of undeveloped Federal Land retaining its primeval character and influence, without permanent improvement or human habitation... generally appears to have been affected primarily by the forces of nature, with the imprint of man's work substantially unnoticeable... has outstanding opportunities for solitude or a primitive and unconfirmed type of recreation...shall be devoted to the public purposes of recreation, scenic, scientific, educational, conservation and historic use." • Discussion on The Wilderness Act does not modify the park's enabling legislation unchanged since 1915. • RMNP wilderness boundaries were not well defined ranging from 235,000 acres to 249,500 from 1974-1999. • 1980s Federal Reserved Water Rights for the entire park have been adjudicated in state water court. • 1990s RMNP has invested significant funds to improve visitor's facilities to reassure "the wilderness designation is not the first step toward closing the park." • The Wilderness designation requires an Act of Congress and the 1999 wilderness proposal is a starting point for discussions. Maps were included in the presentation. • Steps to identify issues and concerns of gateway communities and other stakeholders are the next step. • Doug Young from Congressman Mark Udall office and Ann Brewster from Senator Allard office, in Loveland asked for Estes Park Town Board support. • Vaughn Baker from RMNP advised they would be having the same session in Grand Lake as both gateway communities are involved in the decision of the wilderness designation. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS Town Board Study Session - January 31, 2005 - Page 2 • Randy Repola to coordinate follow-up town meetings to invite congressional delegations, Northern Colorado Water Conservancy, county staff and Grand Lake to attend. The Mayor suggested a copy of the Wilderness map from today's presentation also be provided at follow-up meetings. Elk Management Plan-Update Current status of the RMNP elk & vegetation management plan: • Public scoping on draft alternatives conducted in September 2004. • Refining/adding detail to alternatives. 1. No action. 2. Maximum lethal reduction of elk (agency culling). 3. Maximum fertility control. 4. Wolf reintroduction inside the Park. 5. Moderate reduction using agency culling or public marksmen. 6. Combination of lethal reductions and fertility control. • Next steps to review detailed alternatives with the Planning Team. Concluding all discussion, the meeting was adjourned at 11 a.m. L 4(44 Tkcy Fed@ans, Rdcording Secretary 1p 38 -2.
