NEWSRACKS
Don said he will work with Luke Nestler from the Aspen Times to identify
the different newsrack locations that presently exist in the core. Staff will
provide a map.
Don also suggested that the CCLC meet with the different newspaper
distributors to determine if the existing sites are appropriate and if new sites
should be created. This will occur after the locations are transferred to a
larger map.
Don relayed that the next steps will be to identify the problem areas
regarding double stack racks and visibility; setback from the comers and
proximity to alleys. The Engineering Department will be involved in this
process.
The board felt that they need to be concerned with health and safety only.
John suggested that two different styles should be used and one color
chosen for all racks.
Members suggested that advertising information not be placed in the corals
but put in different areas near the corals.

Undeterrained issues are if spots are chosen do we do a "lottery" who gets
in the spot or is there a better method.
If an existing area is decided by the board that too many boxes exist, how is
it determined who gets dumped?
Staff was directed to contact Ed Saddler regarding the DEPP project and
how much money was allocated for the racks and how many.
Bill's concern is when all the racks are full where does the 13th one go, do
we have another area in place?
John requested information from the attorney regarding that issue.
Staff informed the members that an area has to be provided for advertising
information. The attorney relayed that if there is no space for additional
newsracks that the Eng. Dept. and CCLC will determine the next
appropriate space. Constitutionally an alternative spot must be provided for
a newspaper or advertisement.
Bill said the purchasing aspect of the racks needs to be discussed. Should
the city pay for the racks and enclosure and then have the papers buy them
back in order to get the project going.
B/Il said after the sites are reviewed there will be areas that only six boxes
should be installed rather than twelve. A selection process needs to be in
place.
Bill presented a brick enclosure concept to the HPC as opposed to the open
coral that DEPP presented and it was denied by HPC. CCLC felt that the
brick concept would have less vandalism and visually would be more
pleasing. You also couldn't attach bikes to the brick racks.
Who pays for pads if needed and pedestals?
John requested that staffprovide all members with the Glenwood ordinance
on newsrack placement.

TROLLEY
Bill relayed that he was contacted by Terry Paulson and Assistant City
Manager Steve Barwick concerning the trolley as a transit solution for an
initial project. It possibly could be built and capitalized by private funds
and could be reimbursed later on through advertising revenues etc. and then
gets turned over to the city for free.
Bill alerted the board that eventually they will have to be involved in the
trolley.
COMPACTOR
Don asked staffto contact Brian Flynn in regards to the compactor in the
Red Onion alley and report at the next meeting.
MOTION: John moved to adjourn; second by Bill. All in favor, motion
carried. 3-0.
