SOLAR HEATING OF JAMES E. MOORE POOL Raymond Auger sent a letter to Council describing the proposed program for the swimming pool. Auger corrected page two of his letter to state that 1.3 billion BTU's were consumed by the pool last year from May to September. Auger outlined several types of Solar Heating solar heating devices. The one recommended is 4 by 8 feet per panel and is the most James E. Moore advanced solar heater for a swimming pool. At $3 per square foot, the system would pay pool for itself within 5 years. This represents a 20 per ~cent return on the capital. Auger pointed out that Rocky Mountain Natural Gas is up 43 per cent from last year. Auger's proposal touched on several options. (1) Install 600 square feet of collectors as a first phase. This would represent less than 10 per cent of the pool'~s needs. (2) Instead of putting these collectors on brackets, they can be mounted grooves. This would increase the cost but would also give them another use. The system would run water from the pool into the collectors, recycle through the panel and then back into the pool. Councilman Parry asked that the City Manager look into this and come up with a recommen-~ dation. Councilman Parry said he thought the idea was very interesting. Ted Armstrong told Council that the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, who originally funded the pool, is coming up and realizing that it is a waste of a facility not %o have an indoor pool. The BOR is making funds available to make pools indoor. Armstrong said he felt that solar heating for the pool would be worthwhile. Council directed Mahoney to research this proposal and come back to them with recommen- dations. Councilwoman Johnston pointed out that there are grants available for energy conservation and solar heating and these could be investigated. Auger stated the first step of the proposal is $2300 and it would be desirable to get something running this season. SILVER PLUME - Transfer of Ownership City Attorney Nuttall told Council she had a memorandum from Fire Marshal Newell stating~ there are violations of the fire code which have not been corrected at this point. Ms. Silver Plume Nuttall suggested tabling this request ~ntil the Silver Plume is in compliance, John Transfer of La Salle, representing the applicant, asked about the possibility of Teddy Case agreeing ownership to take this on and have the license transferred conditionally. Tom Dunlop, Sanitarian, told Council he would like a chance to reveiw his inspection to make sure the items havel been completed. Councilman Wishart moved to table this item until July 11; seconded by Councilwoman Johnston. Ms. Nuttal said the City is entitled to make sure that applicants for transf~sor licenses are in compliance with the various City Codes and that tabling this is a prudent this to do. All in favor, motion carried. SUBDIVISION EXEMPTION - Starodoj Karen Smith, planning office, presented a map of the proposed subdivision which concerns Subdivision six lots located on Smuggler and First streets. The property is zoned R-6. The planning Exemption ½ office recommends approval conditioned upon payment of the park dedication fee, minimum Starodoj six month lease restriction. The city engineer has no comments. The rationale behind this appoval is that the property could be developed for three single-family dwellings under one ownership. The exemption from subdivision allows the division of the land for~ sale. Councilman Parry moved to approve the subdivision exemption to include six month lease restriaction and park dedication fee; seconded by Councilman Van Ness. All in favor, motion carried. Regular Meeting ~ ~3 ........ CONCEPTUAL SUBDIVISION - Gignoux Ms. Smith told the Council this project is in the S/C/I district and is a request to divide the Gighoux property into two lots. Lot 2 has existing development of a one story Conceptual and a two-story building housing a'garage. The applicant would like to build a Sears Subdivision catalog store on lot 1. Ms. Smith stated there are problems involved with this applica- Gignoux tion with access, circulation, FAR calculation and ownership4 The city engineer submitted a memorandum outlining some of these problems. Pat Lynch, applicant, told Council that Tri-co had resurveyed the property, and it is not in the Bleeker street easement. The property will be divided to house the present Bishop's garage and the other lot will have 'a Sears store of approximately 3 to 5,000 square feet. Ms. Smith told Council that the tenant in the building in lot 1 has requested that he not be evicted until a building permit issue for that lot. The planning office has asked that this be a condition of approval. Lynch pointed out that one of the problems was circulation and said that this application could be held up a long time until Council had worked these problems out. The next stage of subdivision, preliminary, is quite a bit more expensive and Lynch said they did not want to wait forever. Ms. Smith requested that this project be held up until these problems are resolved; they are in the process of being resolved. The Rio Grande will be before P & Z this week. The planning office is recommending that this application be approved conditionally for conceptual with the proviso that these problems can be worked out at preliminary. Councilman Parry moved to approve conceptual subdivsion with the conditions that are stipulated; seconded by Councilman Wishart. Councilman Van Ness asked that the conditions be spelled out. Ms. Smith outlined (1) that the proposed development can be fit within the FAR and that the parking and open space requirements can be met on both lots. (2) Ownership of the various disputed properties, the alley and the triangle of land fronting on Bleeker street and on lot number 2, can be resolved. (3) If it is. determined that the City does not own the portion of the alley, that it be dedicated to the City to complete the alleyway. (4) The access problem be resolved; if the City does own the property, then they will grant access to both lots. (5) The tenant not be evicted until a building permit be issued. All in favor, motion carried. ESTABLISHMENT OF A HOUSING AUTHORITY Brian Goodheim submitted a 1976 memorandum from the then City Attorney on the incentives ~.~ Housing for a City/County housing authority; establishing a housing authority, and the legal steps Authority involved. It is recommended that the housing authority be set up as a citizen's commission to act as this authority. Ms. Smith pointed out that this concept was being brought to Council, the planning office is not asking for action. Councilwoman Johnston moved that a resolution be prepared to establish a housing authority for Council's approval; seconded by Councilman Parry. Ms. Smith told Council that the planning office's concept of the duties of the housing authority would be policy making body in terms of housing issues and would establish definitions and criteria for low and moderate income housing and employee housing. This housing authority would review proposals under the growth management plan for complia'nce with these definitions. Councilman Hershey a-sked if this establishment was not a little early. Goodhelm said he felt that the housing authority and the growth management plan would want to be concurrently. Ms. Smith said that a resolution to adopt the growth management will be brought to Council at the next meeting. The ordinance implementing the GMP is now written and going to the P & Z. Applications will be reviewed under this by October 1 through 15. It would be best to get the housing authority going to establish the guidelines and have an idea of what will be accepted as low and moderate income hous- ing prior to October. Bill Dunaway pointed out that the City has already adopted ordinances which give bonus for low and moderate income housing, but there is no housing authortiy. All in favor, motion carried.

Mahoney said he would like to buy it and bronze it and put it in a park. Councilwoman Johnston said the Council should stop and talk policy about the City receiving gifts. There may be a time when the City has to accept a gift that is horrendous.. Councilman Behrendt said the administration needs to work up a policy on accepting gifts and report to the Council. Councilman Wishart pointed out that the City already had a policy when they agreed to have a panel of judges select the sculpture to be purchased for $10,000. Anything accepted should go through the same process. 1977 Councilwoman Johnston also asked to have the number of pieces that would be accepted per year. There is a limited amount of space in the mall. Mahoney told Council that the Mall Committee wanted to have another contest for a fountain in the mall. Council- man Wishart suggested that the question of owning the Salamander statute should go through the same process as other purchases, through the Aspe~ Arts Foundation and the Mall Committee.
