Lighting presentation.
Kale said their staff are engineers and designers and we are in Basalt. Kale
said they met with Bill and Andrew previously.
The intent is to renew the holiday season and use new lighting concepts.
Boost the economy and instill new traditions. We want new life into the
town and use new concepts. We also want to boost retail sales and lodging
occupancy during the holiday season. Instill new traditions and create new
family memories for people who come here. Create interest through PR.
Advocate green initiatives and establish traditions for Aspen.
We want to create a lour for Aspen (only in Aspen) master plan for the
month of December.
Building lighting, area lighting and tree lighting combinations.
Flood, accent lighting white lighting and projection lighting are proposed.
Accent lighting brings out the structural elements of the building.
Jim said you can also do layered lighting.
Terry said she liked the idea of having different concepts on different
buildings.
Kale said you can also do 3D mapping on buildings, still images and you
could create a media on a building such as the Wheeler Opera House.
Once the infill structure is in you can change the media.

Jim asked about our climate. Kale said they have enclosures that are water
and aired cooled.
You can have an easel and kids can paint and project on the building. What
kid wouldn't want to design something and transfer it on a building.
Jim said you could focus on the clock tower and get the electricity from
there.
On the malls you could use up- lighting or strand lighting.
Kale said the idea is if you go to Aspen you have to see this.
Jim said you could create a Aspen tree lighting parade and draw people
through the town and end at the Sardy house.
Terry said a festival in the fall with lights on the aspen trees would be
tremendous.
Kale said you can have the lighting throughout the week and every day of
the holiday have something different. You could also create stories about
Aspen. Santa could shoot off the mountain and drop presents at the Wheeler
and Elks bldg.
Key words, classy and elegant and we want to create a story that isn't just
flash lights. We want something that can progress through the years.
Kale said you can project snowflakes falling. You could also use skiing.
Kale said we are doing this for the city, community, local businesses and
visitors.

Bill said through the projection you could have the bike race enhanced with
lighting and more importantly this separates us from everyone else in the
country.
Bill said this is an advertising media.
Jim asked if live video feed could occur. Justin said you could do replays of
the downhill races from x games.
Kale said the Wheeler Opera house, Elks bldg. and Independence bldg.,
materials install and programming would cost 1.5million. There is usually a
6 year life for projectors.
Jim asked about the maintenance. There needs to be man hours to keep the
snow off the equipment.
The wheeler could cost $500,000. for setup.
Kale said you would create your own infill structure.
Bill said we need continuity of design throughout town.
Terry said she likes the projection idea. The entire building comes alive.
Staff was requested to contact the different departments for representation at
the next meeting.
