MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 7, 2011
Vice - Chairperson, Don Sheeley called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m.
Commissioners in attendance: Bill Dinsmoor, Siam Castillo and Terry
Butler. Excused were Fred Ayarza and Andrew Kole.
Staff: Kathy Strickland, Chief Deputy Clerk
MOTION: Siam moved to approve the minutes of August 17, 2011; second
by Terry. All in favor, motion carried.
Lighting update:
Kathy said Lacroux Streeb lighting met with the Parks Department and they
are to send a proposal to the city to do lighting up Mill. Mill Street has
adequate electricity. If that area works well then the city might look at both
malls. Kathy also said there are businesses in that area willing to help with
the design.
Bill asked if we need to go back to council and ask for money.
Don said he thought it appropriate to do one section at a time. They will
also incorporate the down lighting.
Terry said it would be nice to do both of the malls.
Bill said it will be invisible and no one will know that we did it. We could
go back and ask for money. No one has done anything for XMAS in the last
25 years and this will be so miniscule.
Terry said it would be great to have the two malls with the snowflakes and
have a window contest for businesses.
Siam said the window lighting contest is a good idea. Siam said she will
help with the contest.
Bill said we need to keep following up.
Don said if the ACRA would offer a food and wine pass that would be a
great prize.

COMMERCIAL CORE & LODGING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 7, 2011
Bill said the idea is that we want new customers to come to town.
Terry said she is willing to visit the stores and initiate a contest.
Bill said in order for this to be a month long drive we need more than
snowflakes. It also has to be down Main Street.

Ordinance 43, 2007
Kathy said Ord. 43, 2007 describes the procedures and rules for CCLC. The
ordinance would have to go to city council for an amendment if CCLC
comes up with a procedure for outside dining and mall lease reviews. CCLC
cannot enforce the public right -of -way because they are an advisory board.
Terry said Engineering is not on the malls after work hours and the majority
of the CCLC members are.
Don said the CCLC members walk the malls and could introduce themselves
and point out violations etc. to the restaurants etc.
Terry said we would act as a liaison for the enforcement departments. We
would recommend to those departments what we saw and the concerns.
Amended section of Ord. #43.
h) to review, recommend and coordinate the applications for outdoor dining
within the City of Aspen including malls and public right -of -ways. CCLC
will make recommendations based on rules and code requirements to the
appropriate boards and departments.
MOTION: Bill moved to approve the recommendations to amend Ord. #43
second by Siam. All in favor, motion carried.
Bill asked about a review of the pro - cycling and when that will occur. Did
the event do anything for the local businesses? This is not a benefit for
Aspen. We need to find out how to bring people to town.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m.
