TASK FORCE REPORTS
Hospital Building Dick Lee is present to review the progress of this
task force on the hospital building. The Council
on Aging has been requested to have a member join the
task force. Margot Lowe has been designated as that
representative. The next meeting will be at noon
on Monday. Lee stated that there was not really any
thing further to add to this, things are progressing
smoothly. They are within their timetable.
Wheeler Opera House King Woodward is present to review the progress of
this task force on the Wheeler Opera Building.
Woodward stated that they have been meeting regularly
every Thursday. They are completing meeting with the
groups interested in space at the Wheeler and have
contacted people they feel may be interested in that
space. The next public meeting is on Wednesday.
Woodward feels that these public meetings have gone
very well.
They have budgeted two consultants who will be coming
Friday and Saturday. These consultants will be looking
at the theatre. There will be a meeting with the task
force at 5:00 in the Papecke Building Board room.
Another meeting will be held that Saturday in the
theatre itself at 2:00. Woodward feels that after this
visit they will know more of what is to be done with
the building and what will have to be done to make
it feasibly operational. Each consultant will submit a
written report. Woodward stated that a sub-group is
working on the money aspect of this project, and will
estimate what the entire project will cost. The his-
torical aspect of the building is being monitored through
Ramona Markalunas, and the subject of the additional
lots (SHAW) are still being researched. In general,
things are progressing smoothly and more information will
be available once they meet with the consultants.
Holy Cross Building Janet Landry is present to review the progress of
this task force. She feels that the task force on this
building has developed nicely, and the people working on
it at this time are sincerely interested and are working
hard. A subcommittee has been developed to look into
the teen situation and possible solutions to this
problem. This subcommittee will make a report to the
task force. There are also representatives of the teens
on this subcommittee. Multiuses are definitely being
considered. A second public meeting was held on Tuesday
and four presentations were made. One of these was from
Lori Patterson of the Teen Center. Bob Marsh was at
this meeting also, and suggested some type of "farmers
market" for arts and crafts. The Roaring Fork Resource
Center also made a presentation. A third public meeting
?
COMMUNITY FACILITIES BOARD April 28, 1977 Regular Meeting
will be held two weeks from Tuesday° At that time
another presentation ~11 be made by Lori, and they will
have floor plans, etc. A presentation will also
be made by the Aspen Foundation of the Arts and the
Visual Artists and they will also have conceptual plans.
Ms. Landry stated that the Pitkin County Park Association
will be having a picnic next Wednesday at the Holy
Cross property. The outside area of this building will
also have a great impact on how that building is used.
Ms. Apple expressed a concern over the multiuse of that
property, and feels that sometimes when we try to use
many different uses, nonthing turns out well. Ms. Landryi
however feels that the outcome will be more of 1 use
with a range of activities.
Stern stated that the Music Associates have also sub-
mitted a formal proposal to the Holy Corss for some
type of dorms at that site. The realization of this
project will be determined on Financing. Kirchner
Moore has been contacted about possible bonding, but
Stern forsees difficulty in selling this to the public.
There is a possibility of one purchaser who might pur-
chase the whole issue. The possibility does still
exist that this project could be developed on the hos-
pital property, and if that is where the dorms are built
then the MAA would request kitchen facilities in that
building. Woodward further discussed this, and asked
if that property was definitely County property. Stern
replied that it was, and related that the County Comm-
issioners have been receptive so far to this idea,
however they want to know if this is feasible.
Dick Lee once again discussed the necessity of having
the Holy Cross and Hospital task forces work closely
together so that nothing is overlooked. When asked
why the MAA could not build dorms at the music school
Stern replied that there wasn't any room left there for
something of this type. The dorms would be used during
winter months for employee housing.
The meeting adjourned at 5:45.
