The Council on Aging has been requested to have a member join the task force. Margot Lowe has been designated as that representative. The next meeting will be at noon on Monday. Lee stated that there was not really any thing further to add to this, things are progressing smoothly. They are within their timetable. Wheeler Opera House King Woodward is present to review the progress of this task force on the Wheeler Opera Building. Woodward stated that they have been meeting regularly every Thursday. They are completing meeting with the groups interested in space at the Wheeler and have contacted people they feel may be interested in that space. The next public meeting is on Wednesday. Woodward feels that these public meetings have gone very well. They have budgeted two consultants who will be coming Friday and Saturday. These consultants will be looking at the theatre. There will be a meeting with the task force at 5:00 in the Papecke Building Board room. Another meeting will be held that Saturday in the theatre itself at 2:00. Woodward feels that after this visit they will know more of what is to be done with the building and what will have to be done to make it feasibly operational. Each consultant will submit a written report. Woodward stated that a sub-group is working on the money aspect of this project, and will estimate what the entire project will cost. The his- torical aspect of the building is being monitored through Ramona Markalunas, and the subject of the additional lots (SHAW) are still being researched. In general, things are progressing smoothly and more information will be available once they meet with the consultants. Holy Cross Building Janet Landry is present to review the progress of this task force. She feels that the task force on this building has developed nicely, and the people working on it at this time are sincerely interested and are working hard. A subcommittee has been developed to look into the teen situation and possible solutions to this problem. This subcommittee will make a report to the task force. There are also representatives of the teens on this subcommittee. Multiuses are definitely being considered. A second public meeting was held on Tuesday and four presentations were made. One of these was from Lori Patterson of the Teen Center. Bob Marsh was at this meeting also, and suggested some type of "farmers market" for arts and crafts. The Roaring Fork Resource Center also made a presentation. A third public meeting ? COMMUNITY FACILITIES BOARD April 28, 1977 Regular Meeting will be held two weeks from Tuesday° At that time another presentation ~11 be made by Lori, and they will have floor plans, etc. A presentation will also be made by the Aspen Foundation of the Arts and the Visual Artists and they will also have conceptual plans. Ms. Landry stated that the Pitkin County Park Association will be having a picnic next Wednesday at the Holy Cross property. The outside area of this building will also have a great impact on how that building is used. Ms. Apple expressed a concern over the multiuse of that property, and feels that sometimes when we try to use many different uses, nonthing turns out well. Ms. Landryi however feels that the outcome will be more of 1 use with a range of activities. Stern stated that the Music Associates have also sub- mitted a formal proposal to the Holy Corss for some type of dorms at that site. The realization of this project will be determined on Financing. Kirchner Moore has been contacted about possible bonding, but Stern forsees difficulty in selling this to the public. There is a possibility of one purchaser who might pur- chase the whole issue. The possibility does still exist that this project could be developed on the hos- pital property, and if that is where the dorms are built then the MAA would request kitchen facilities in that building. Woodward further discussed this, and asked if that property was definitely County property. Stern replied that it was, and related that the County Comm- issioners have been receptive so far to this idea, however they want to know if this is feasible. Dick Lee once again discussed the necessity of having the Holy Cross and Hospital task forces work closely together so that nothing is overlooked. When asked why the MAA could not build dorms at the music school Stern replied that there wasn't any room left there for something of this type. The dorms would be used during winter months for employee housing. The meeting adjourned at 5:45. ~tk l~n~ty Clerk
