Although.many children accompany their parents to the market every Saturday, the market lacks child centered activities. Wildwood is the va!ley's oldest early childhood institution, and we believe we have the best resources to offer the market in this respect. At our board meeting last night, all of the board members as welt as the directors brainstormed about some great ideas for the summer. Everyone was really excited about the possibility of participating. First of all, we would like to commit to the entire summer season. We thought we could offer different activities each week. Here are some of our ideas: Jewelry--one week we could set up beads and string and let children make their own necklaces, bracelets, key chains, etc. We wouldn't be selling anything pre-made, just providing an activity for young children. Face painting--one week we would offer to paint faces. We would do all kinds of animals and designs. Wildwood has lots of practice doing this and some of us are getting'really good! 3. T-shirts one week we'll do paint your own t-shirts. 4. Tie-Dye--another week we'll set up tie-dye and let the kids make fun clothes or scarves. o Book Fair--one week we could do a young child's book fair and sell children's books, either new or used. We could have a little story time this week and let kids sit and listen. Bouncy Castle--if we were allowed the space to do this one week, 13 by 13 feet, it would be great. One of our board members owns a business that rents out these air filled j ump~ng treats for kids. The business is fully insured. We would strictly regulate the numbers and make sure safety was paramount. In addition to our weekly project/activity for.kids we'd like to sell some items from the Wildwood grow dome. The kids all help out in the summer to grow herbs; we grow parsley, basil and dill among others. We would package these and sell them. This would be only a small basket at our table and as it's done primarily by children ages 3-6, we don't feel it would compete with the farmers. The second weekly feature of our booth would be 2 raffles, one for kids and one for adults. 'Guess the jellybeans, win the jar' or win a Bouncy Castle party for 4 hours are examples of kid's raffles. For the grown-up raffle we would offer dinner for 2 (It's VERY important for parents of young children to get out alone once in awhile) at a different local restaurant each week. It would be great to coordinate the dinner with the cooking demonstrations. From participating in the Farmer's Market, Wildwood gets great local exposure. Certainly we would like to use this as a fund raising opportunity. However, we would charge very reasonably for everything. We recognize that we are serving young children first, and we believe that everyone ought to afford our activities. Just so you know, Wildwood is open in the summer. We run a day camp for kids ages 3-6. So we will all be very available. The board and the teachers are fully committed to manning the booth. Parents have also offered to volunteer. We will rotate shifts at the booth and have 2 or 3 people there each Saturday. I will be orchestrating how it all works so please feel free to contact me anytime. We are very excited about the possibilities. We are also completely open to your ideas about how we might best serve the children's community.

Web Ho:~'tS~g C)~del~ ~ N;X;:RESS UNE S 7s- .April 4, 2004 Mr. Bill Dinsmoor Chairman CCLC Dear Bill, I am enclosing various letters and paper work in regards to my grievance and complaint with the CCLC board and committee's acceptance of two additional potter's selling their pottery at the Aspen Saturday market. I hope you will take your time and review these papers that document my complaint in regards to the latest inclusion of Nancy Barbour and Elizabeth Robinson to the Aspen Saturday Market. You will read that I took this particular grievance to the CMC Vice President in regards to their Aspen campus ceramic department being exploited by FACULTY and students. Both Nancy Barbour and Elizabeth RObinson are facglty at the Aspen Campus CMC facility. I am including the~olorado~ an competition with private busi~9~\,in this case goods can be considered as selling pottery.~thy Chamberl~n and her private business Aspen Ceramic Studio is being competed with by these two CMC faculty members using public facilities including: equipment, kilns, materials, utilities, energy costs to produce pottery for commission resale and retail. I don't believe the Colorado State's guidelines for provision of goods and services are discriminating or exc~udi~ ~eac~er$ or faculty goods produced at the instlt~tiOn. T~h/nk ~OU for your time, Kathy Ch~mberlin Aspen Ceramic Studio 34 Twining Flats Rd Aspen, CO 81611 970-923-5658 Dear Board of CCLC and Aspen Saturday Market, I am writing in regards to hearing about this committee's acceptance of two additional potter's application to the Aspen Saturday Market. Upon this news I felt a complete sense of disappointment and letdown. I don't believe the Aspen Saturday market can sustain 6 potters. Or rather I can't sustain my business in sales, having these additional woman selling pottery at the same venue. I am withdrawing my application to be a vendor, but I must reiterate my reasons. Supply and demand. This theory shows with a simplified example how supply and demand in a market interact to determine how much of something is sold and bought, and what the price is. The crucial idea of supply and demand is determined independently. The sellers determine the supply. The buyers determine the demand. In a free competitive market, the price of whatever it is moves up or down until the amount supplied equals the amount demanded. When the price stops moving, you have what is called equilibrium. The Aspen Saturday market will have an excess supply of vendors selling pottery. I also know when you have no overhead or investment in equipment to make the product your selling, you'll be able to sell it cheaper. For example, Kathy Chamberlin has invested over $30,000.00 in studio space, equipment, kilns, wheels, supplies, materials, property taxes on property for workspace, energy and utility costs. How can I compete with other potter's selling their pottery at the Aspen market, when the Aspen Campus CMC ceramic department and the Carbondale Clay Center subsidizes' them? They have no overhead, no investment in equipment; they don't even have their own kiln to fire the pottery in. I can only summarize with, I feel this committee has no value or alliance to me as an existing craft vendor. My sales were not very robust last summer because my prices were high. My investment is high. It certainly won't be worth my hard work to set up a booth this summer and try to sell my clay art with a saturated market. When demand for the product I'm selling will be met quite adequately, thank you. I am an asset in this community that I have lived in for 35 years. I came here in 1969 and started doing ceramics at Anderson ranch. I started the CMC and Aspen High School ceramic programs in 1976. I have enough integrity to tell you, I never exploited these public facilities to make pottery in and then sell it retail. amberlin Aspen Ceramic Studio 34 Twining Flats Rd Aspen CO 81611 Colorado Mountain College January 3 O, 2003 Ms. Kathy Chamberlin .'34 Twining Flats Road Aspen, CO 81611 Dear Kathy, I would like to thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to meet with the Aspen Campus staff and me laSt week. As promised, I am sending you this letter to discuss and clear. up some of the issues that you raised during the meeting. Colorado Mountain College needs community members such as you to continue to bring concerns to our attention so we can. become a better college serving our constituents and communities. After discussing your issues with the stat'f following your departure last week, we are putting more emphasis on the following policies to the ceramics department: 1. "Commissioned" work has never been permitted at CMC, but may have been done without the administration's knowledge. It is now clear to the ceramics coordinator and all faculty that commissioned work is not permitted. It is difficult to define "production pottery" m~d the fbllowing statement will be used and posted in the studio. "The Ceramic Studio is to be used ONLY for the purpose of meeting the stated objectives of a ceramic course in which the student has current enrollment." The intent of the ceramic studio is to facilitate the education. of the art and craft of ceranfics. Creating work 'that is primarily intended for re-sale will not be. tolerated. ~ 2. Each and every student will be given the same opporttmity to fire the same an~ount of artistic · work. Preference will be given to no {)ne. The staffhave assured me that they will monitor the work of the faculty as indicated below. 3. The Aspen staff and faculty have agreed to re-visit the entire Christmas Sale process, structure and allocation of funds. It is our intention that the sale will take on a different flavor next year~ The staff and the current part-time director of the program, Nancy Barbour, will meet with the faculty of the ceramics department to explain and reinforce these policies. 4. From time to time, we have had these same issues brought to our attention. Eight years ago,. in 1995, Doug Rhinehart wrote a memo to the ceramics faculty reminding them of the policy Office of the Vice President PO Box 10001 Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 970 947-§321 concerning production work. 7he ,Aspen Cmnpus has a new' group of faculty no'w, and they simply need to be reminded about the policy. Na,-~cy Barbour and Doug Rhinehart have started, that process. Please let me know if you have any questions concerning these decisions. Again, thm~k you tbr, being willing to discuss and bring these issues to our attention.

To perform this mission, it is often necessary for institutions to provide, and charge fees for, goods and services that enhance, promote, or support their teaching, research, and public service functions. ,It is important, however~ that institutions be mindful that the provision of goods and services may be in competition with private businesses, and remain sensitive to the interests of private businesses. The purpose of these guidelines is to define the legitimate purposes of the provision of goods and services by institutions of higher education and to establish a mechanism for addressing complaints of unfair competition by private businesses. These guidelines were developed in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes, article 113 of title 24, in consultation with governing boards and the business community to be implemented by governing boards on each of the campuses under their control. 1.02 Exclusions In recognition of the teaching, research, and public service missions of higher education institutions, these guidelines shall not apply to the following situations: 1.02.01 instructional charges; 1.02.02 services provided in the experiential aspects of instructional and research programs; 1.02.03 services for fees in extracurricular or residential life programs, such as residence halls, food services, and athletic, recreational and cultural programs; 1.02.04 the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, except in those cases where a prosthetic or medical device is provided withOut an accompanying surgery or medical procedure; 1.02.05 the provision of free medical services or equipment to indigent persons in association With a community service health program; and Last Revised II-IT-1 Anmmt '7 lC)0'7 Annmved Policy 1.02.06 public service radio and television stations licensed to a governing board or to an institution under its control. Guidelines It is appropriate for higher education institutions to provide and charge for goods and services to students, faculty, staff, and invited guests, under the following conditions: 1.03.01 The good or service is authorized by statute. 1.03.02 The good or service offers a valuable educational or research experience for students as a part of their education. 1.03.03 The good or service fulfills the public service mission of the institution of higher education. Criteria for Provision of Goods and Services to Students, Faculty and Invited Guests In deterrrdning the appropriateness of a good or service to the campus community, consideration shall be given to the following criteria: 1.04.01 Whether the good or service is substantially and directly related to the instructional, research, or public service mission of the institution. 1.04.02 Whether the good or service commUnity. is necess__a.a.a~ or convenient for the cam_pgs Whether the intended use of the good or service is for students, faculty, staff, or invited guests rather than the general public. Invited guests are defined as persons who enter a campus for an educational, research, or public service activity, and not primarily to purchase or receive goods and services not related to the educational, research, or public service mission of the campus. Whether the price charged reflects the direct and indirect costs and overhead costs of the good, a~'~'ell as the price in the h~ate mi{rket lace' -- P ,'_rP__r--. Whether in establishing the price of the good or service, consideration was given to the price in the private marketplace._ ~ Whether there is a demand by the general public for the good or service.

Anon.qt '7 100'7 1.05 1.06 2.00 2.01 2.02 Criteria for Sales to the External Community 1.05.01 In assessing the validity of providing goods or services to the external community, both of the following criteria must be met: The good or service represents a resource that is directly related to an institution's educational mission, not commonly available or otherwise easily accessible, and for which there is a demand from the external community; or the goods or services are byproducts of the institution's instructional, research, or public service activities; or ,:1.05.03 the institution has specific statutory authority to sell the good or service; or 1.05.04 the good or service is produced from the businesslike management of the assets of the institution for the exclusive benefit of the institution; AND The price charged is sufficient to recover the full costs, incIuding both direct and appropriate indirect costs, of the good and service. The price of such items in the private market place shall be taken into account in establishing the price or fee. Circumvention of Guidelines Institutions of higher education shall not provide goods, services or facilities for or through another state agency or unit of local government if providing them directly would violate these guidelines. Guidelines for Grievance Review Procedures In the event that flae provision of a good or service by a higher education institution is Perceived to be in competition with a privately owned business, that business shall be provided the opportunity for a hearing of such eom_plaint accordi.~ to the following- guidelines: 1.05.05 The complaint shall first be heard by the chief executive officer of the institution or his or her designee. If resolution is not reached as a result of the initial review by the institutional chief executive officer, appeal may be made to the governing board of the institution. Annmved Pnlie. v Last Revised Aummt ? 100'7 3.00 Reporting Procedures Governing boards shall report the outcome of grievances reviewed in accordance with Section 2.00 of these guidelines to the Commission annually or upon review and response to each grievance received.
