Commissioners in attendance: Charles Kennedy, Andrew Kole and Marc
Breslin. Excused were Bill Dinsmoor, Eric Cohen, Mark Goodman and
John Starr.
Steve Barwick explained the temporary rules for the summer of 2004. No
retail display in the mall or on the public right-of-way in front of businesses.
Flowerpots and signage can be used in the public rightr~of-way. An
encroachment license must be filled out but at no cost. Only food would be
allowed in the center of the malls, which would be an extension of their
mall lease.
C.J. Oliver, Environmental Health office relayed that his only concern with
seating outside is the food service. There canbe no prepping of food
outside.
James Lindt, planner said Zele Caf6 wanted to serve outside on their patio
but they would have to do growth management mitigations. CCLC was in
favor Of a temporary code amendment, which would not require mitigation.
Steve Barwick said he would pursue the code amendment.
The CCLC had no problem with table and chairs in the right of way.
James also mentioned that he had a request from a time-share office to go on
private space and serve coffee and offer information on the time-shares
through a kiosk. This would require a code amendment.
The board did not support real estate kiosks on the mall or the code
amendment, which would allow them.
Andrew said he is in favor of cooking demonstrations and giving samples
out on the mall.
Charles said his concern is dwell time in the malls and how do we
encourage that.
Real estate has a different value.
COMMERCIAl, CORE & LODGING COMMISSION
MINUTES OF JUNE 2, 2004 :'
Steve Barwick reminded the board that city council voted no regarding cars
on the mall. Even Ducky Derby was not allowed to have their car on the
mall. If the board approves cars on the mall you are going to have a
political battle.
Terry said gathering around the mall looking at a car is much better than
looking at a car on the street. The street is not safe.
The board scheduled a work session with the ACRA to discuss cars on the
mall at their next meeting.
Jeanette Darneau, Steve Skadrin, - Council directed CCLC to talk about .the
issues of special events with the Aspen Highlands. Jeanette said she
applauds the CCLC to find out how to revitalize the town. The issue is how
can we work together as Aspen Highlands is part of the City. We need to
promote special events at the Highlands.
Marc said the movies are Highlands's signature event.
Andrew said more is better and he doesn't oppose movies in town. Marc
said at what cost to the Highlands is "more" better?
Jeanette said their "come to town" is great and complementary.
Andrew said if you want to utilize the resources you need to come in and
make a proposal. Andrew said we can incorporate Highlands for the
$40,000.
Motion: Marc made the motion to support Tuesday night at the Highlands
and not discuss confliCting movies until 2005; second by Charles. All in
favor, motion carried.
Saturday Market
David Reed from Wilderness Workshop said he would like to have a non-
profit booth at the market every Saturday. He would only have
Environmental groups in his booth. The CCLC supported the
environmental booth.

Staff reminded the board that they also have a Human Services booth.
Susan Berdahl is scheduling non-profits for that booth.
Jennifer Craig stated she feels the 80/20 should comply with a vendors total
business plan throughout the market not just early in the season. The board
asked Jennifer if she had planted additional flowers to comply with the
80/20 rule for 2004. She said she had not.
Charles said maybe we could let the 80/20 rule slide this year as long as she
complies with it next year. The board said that they needed to discuss this
with Jack before making any commitments.

against the ACRA, we are working with them.
Andrew said it is his goal for next summer to promote restaurants on the
mall.
Terry commented on the Vietnam wall and it's successfulness.
