Regular Meetinq Aspen City Council March t2~ 1990 Mayor Stirling moved to support a $20,000 which matches the grant made during the during hearing of 1989; seconded by Councilman Gassman. Councitmembers Tuite, Gassman and Mayor Stiriing in favor; councilmei~bers Crockett and Peters opposed. Motion carried. REQUEST TO USE PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY - Driscol Gallery Pam Driscol told Council she has a new gallery in Aspen which specializes in large sculpture. Ms. Drisco! placed two of these sculptures in front of the galley in city property without realiz- ing this was against the law. Ms. Driscol said she is requesting permission to leave the sculptures in the right-of-way under the vending agreement section of the code. P~m Dreffer told Council there is an increase in-this country towards using fine sculpture to enrich the lives of'society. .Ms. Dreffer told Council the response of appreciation they have received have been encouraging and have indicated that Aspen needs sculpture. Ms. Dreffer said there is little sculpture in Aspen. The gallery represent many outstanding sculptors. Ms. Dreffer invited the city to take advantage of this opportunity and to improve the quality of Aspen. Ms. Dreffer told Council the cost of policing this service is zero. The sculptures are fully insured, are so heavy they do not anti- cipate theft. -Ms. Dreffer said revenues which shall accrue to the city for grant of permission to display these will be taxes received ~rom sales. Ms. Dreffer suggested having a review committee to approve the art. Mayor Stirling said there are a lot of private downtown areas that have public areas that might lend themselves to having these sculptures. Bill Drueding, building department, told Council open space is addressed in the code; there is no ssorage, displays or merchandizing of goods allowed in required open space. Drueding said if this is not required open space in private property, the policy in 1982 which was reaffirmed in 1987 addresses merchandis- ing. Drueding said if the sculptures are purchased by an indi- vidual and placed on their property, that is not merchandising. Councilman Gassman said the issue is whether the city is going to allow the use of public property to sell things. Council has been consls~en~ over the years in not doing that.. Councilman Gassman moved that the administrative policy of 1982 be ce-reaffirmed again; seconded by Councilman Peters. Ms. Dreffer said they have two sculptures in front of the gallery they have been given permission for until this meeting.

Councilman Parry agreed the hot dog push cart is not acceptable in Wagner park; it is acceptable in parks where there are no course is permissable. Rich Perez asked if it were possible to set regulations for vendino said there is no v~nding without permission of Council, and these are all reviewed on an individual basis. Councilman Parry said that Council has been watching vending closely and Councilman Collins asked if this operation was only to be two vehicles. Mayor Edel said cream and popsicles. Ther other is a push cart selling hot dogs, pops and etc. This is the one causing problems. The Council is trying to restrict not eliminate this. Councilman Parry moved to restrict the hot dog push cart from the mall, Wagner park and Rubey park. Mayor Edel asked Peppermint Patti if she had any problems keeping the push cart out of the All in favor, motion carried. the buildin~ department that it violates a section of the building code.
