Memorandum TO: Sarah Oates FROM: Nancy Lesley DATE: February 4,2005 RE: Sign Variance for Mountain Travel Symposium I would like to request that Council grant a sign variance to Mountain Travel Symposium to allow flags on the light poles along Main Street. Mountain Travel Symposium will be held in Aspen April 3rd - 9th, 2005. This gathering of 900 tourist representatives, here, in one of the worlds most celebrated mountain resort communities is noteworthy on it's own. But in addition, Mountain Travel Symposium is celebrating its 30rh anniversary, Mountain Travel Symposium provides the forum for networking, sales and education for the mountain destination tourism industry, The symposium is the largest, most comprehensive and longest running program that exclusively focuses on mountain resorts and their all-important base of tourism, This one of a kind week provides unparalleled networking and the highest caliber of industry experts addressing timely and important mountain destination issues. We want to showcase Aspen in the best possible light, welcoming our guests in a way that we hope, encourages them to continue sending their guests and contacts to Aspen. Over the 7 days three general sessions and more than fifteen workshops will focus on strategies that industry leaders can employ to successfully Manage the Challenge of Change, as we believe that Aspen is the leader of that philosophy. .... --,if MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Chris Bendon, Community Development DirectorCkwl Sarah Oates, Zoning Officer b THRU: FROM: DATE: February 28, 2005 RE: Request for Flags on Light Posts-Mountain Travel Symposium SUMMARY: Nancy Lesley, Director of Special Events and Marketing of the City of Aspen is requesting permission to use the Main Street light posts from Sunday, April 3, 2005 to Sunday, April 9, 2005 for the Mountain Travel Symposium, The event is being held April 3-9,2005 and Symposium is celebrating its 30th Anniversary.
