Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Line: (970) 726-5518 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor JOhnstV Town Board Members From: Chuck Reid Date: May 1, 1997 Subject: Visitor Center Staffing Earlier this year and during last year's 1997 budget adoption process, you had asked me to research options for cooperative staffing of the Fraser Visitors' Center with the Winter Park! Fraser Valley Chamber of Commerce. Catherine Ross, Jane Kehl, and I have met several times to discuss various scenarios under which this could occur. During this same time, it has become evident that the Town would be well served by making "public relations" a higher priority. As such, the conversations I have had with the Chamber have included the Town's need for an employee who would lead the charge on our public relations efforts -- in addition to duties as an Information Clerk at the Visitors' Center. On May 7th, you will be asked to consider two different staffing proposals. One in which the Town contracts with the Chamber for staffing at the Visitprs' Center (and which will include the identification of one employee whose responsibility it would be to lead our PR efforts) and another in which the Town restructures the Visitors' Center staffing to better meet our needs. The monetary difference between the two proposalsis $1,279, based on the Town paying its new employee $9.50/hour. I am checking with Michael Blimes from MIDAS consulting to see ifthe Chamber proposal would hurt our chances at receiving foundation grants. The proposals are attached and I am looking forward to hearing your observations. ýÿ e e Town of Fraser Visitors' Center Restructured Staffing I Existing Staffing The Center's existing staffing inc~udes four part-time employees. One staff member (was) permanent part-time; one, Stan Jones, works primarily the winter season (opposite the permanent part-time); one, Denny Clotfelter, works primarily summers (again, opposite the permanent part-time iemployee); and one, Rusty Boudreaux, fill-in employee. The Visitors' Center is open year-round, except for two, two week periods in the offseason when we have closed due to low numbers. Provosed Staffing While it appears that the summer~winter employee split works well, I am proposing that the permanent part-time employee be changed to a full time employee. This new position would attend all Board a~d Planning Commission meetings as well as staff meetings. In addition to their dut~es at the Visitors' Center, they would also take the lead in disseminating information to locals about issues with which Fraser is involved (i.e. the 3-mile plan, annexations, etc.). This new position would be an hourly position (proposed at $9.50 an hour), with most wee~s being around 40 hours except in high tourist season when the hours may increase based upon demand. Under my proposal, the Center w()uld be closed during the week from approximately the end of ski season until May, and again during the last week in October and in November until the ski area opens. The new iemployees PR duties would remain unchanged while the Center is closed. Dual staffin~ (two people at the Center) would be planned during high season on certain high traffid days. I am estimating that staffing costs for this restructuring would run approximately $31,144, plus benefits -- about $4,000 more than what we are paying now. Approximate Staffing Hours by Month January 248 February 224 March 312 April 272 May 108 2080 hours @ $9.50/hr: $19,760 June 272 1423 hours @approx. $8/hr: $11,384 July 506 Total: $31,144 A u!,JUSt 506 September 451 October 248 November 108 December 248 Total 3503 ýÿ e e Fraser Visitor Center Proposal April 16, 1997 The Winter ParklFraser Valley Chamber would like to propose a collaborative effort between the Chamber and the Town of Fraser. In an effort to provide more diverse guest service we propose consolidating staff time between the two visitor centers. The Winter Park Center would function as it does now while the Fraser Center wduld provide more interactive services such as storytelling, history walk through and children's activities. All the activities would have a historic theme. Visitor information woulq still be available at the Fraser Center. The Town of Fraser will maintain the building including cleaning and outside maintenance. The Town will also cover the physical plant costs such as heat, electric and general repairs.

Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Una: (970) 726-5518 Dear Fraser Homeowner or Occupant: The Town is making improvements to its Water syst~m this summer and, at the same time, beginning to place water meters on all hOlT~es. This etter is intended to provide you information about both of these projects and how they may affec you. If you would like more infonnation, please call either Jim, 726-8957, or Chuck~ 762-549 Water Meters A few years ago, the Colorado State Legislat re mandated that all municipal water systems have water meters installe4 on indiv dual accounts. When this law went into effect, Fraser increased its quarterly water ra es in order to save money to purchase meters. This summer, we are begirlning to i stall meters and pressure reduction valves on homes located in "Lower Ptarmigan," inc uding Quail Drive, Wapiti Drive, Mercy - Housing, Sun River, and Twin Rivers. Dupl xes may share a water meter, depending on how the original water lines were installed. e are beginning the installations at these locations because ofthe general system imp ovements. Each of the meters is equipped with a microchip that will allow the Town to read the meter via a radio signal (as opposed to reading the meter manually). Th s microchip is run by a battery that the Town will have to replace approximately ev ry five years. In order to install the meters, we need acc ss to yom- crawlspace, or some other location inside of your home to lo~ate the eter and pressure reduction valve. Likewise, every five years or so, ';Ve will a ain need access to replace the battery_ The Town has contracted with Steve Baker t install these meters and either Steve, or a I Town of Fraser employee will be contacting ou about access to your home. , General System Improvements The Town is also making general il:nprovem nts to the Town's water system this summer. One part of these improvements in ludes the removal ofa system-wide pressure reduction valve (PR V) that sits at t e crest of the hill on County Road 8, just I outside of Fraser's boundaries. It i$ the rem val of the system-wide PRY that is requiring us to place individual PRVs on each home. Jntil the system-wide PRY is removed (scheduled for later this summer)1 you will notice a decrease in your water pressure. Once the system-wide PR V is remQved, you water pressure should increase to approximately what it is currently. I I , e e Page Two Water Projects The remainder of the system-wide improvements center around the Town's water treatment facility, or the "chlorinating shack" located at the bend on Wapiti Drive, and the installation of piping that will allow us to bring two new water wells into service. You should not be directly affected by these improvements -- other than that your water quality should improve. The improvements to the treatment facility will allow us to add an anti-corrosive element (probably lime) to the water during high ground water season. During periods of seasonal high ground water, the increased underground pressure appears to cause lead based soldering to be released into the water system: this is particularly tme on some of the older water pipes servicing individual homes in Town. The anti-corrosive element works by balancing the waters acidity (pH) and should substantially slow down any corrosion. We're hoping that we will be able to add the anti-corrosive element only during high ground water times and you should not notice much difference in the taste of the water. Thank you, in advance, for working with us on this project. Again, if you have questions or would like more information, please give us a call. Sincerely, ~L ~- /~/ !

Box 120 Fraser, 00 B0442 Dear Merners of the Fraser Town Board, A couple of weeks ago, Chuck Reed spoke to our Fraser Valley Seniors Group and explained the desire of the Fraser Town Board to utilize the building we occupy to a greater extent by having the Recreation District llse the buiilding art those days when it is not used by the Seniors. We acknowledged that the building could certainly be utilized more, and we tndicated our willingness to explore the idea with the Recreation District. We have always been willing for the Town to use the building for meetings of various groups, for breakfast or luncheon meetings, for meetings of town business leaders, etc. In discussions with the Recreation District, however, we have learned that they plan to make radical changes to the building to accomodate various recreational programs including ceramic and craft classes. We believe such changes to the building would change its character and make it not conducive to our use of it as a Senior Center. We also do not believe the building is sturdy enough to \Vithstand the rigorolls recreational use the District has planned for it. We, therefore, feel we must decli ne to share the building in the way that it has now been described to us. 'rhe Senior Program and the programs planned by the Recreation District for this building are not compatible enough to be held in the same building. For the benefit of those who are now members of the Town Board, I would like to share a bit of history. At one time the SeniorSluet in the old school building in Tabernash. rJlhe toyms of Fraser and Winter Park each provided $100 a month for the Senior program. In 1981 the rent for the school building became so high that the Seniors could no longer afford to pay it. The Fraser Town Board, at that time, invited our Senior Group to use the old metal building it owned adjacent to the Town Hall in place of the $100 a month they had been providing for the Senior program. ---------- ------ - --------- - ---~._---- e e y / ,~ ..---' '- TOWN OF FRASER ~ ....- >-- "Icebox of the Nation" P.O. Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue ~ ~ ~n Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX line: (970) 726-5518 April 21, 1997 Dear Fraser Cemetery Board Member: The Fraser Town Board has requested that you be provided with a brief update on where the Town is relative to the purchase of Maryvalc's Planning Area 28. If you would like more int()fInatioll than is in this leller, please call me at 726-0747. Although the Town did not budget funds for the purchase of Planning Area 28 in 1997, we are trying to purchase the parcel by means of a lease/purchase agreement. Maryvale is currently reviewing a draft of a proposed contract and upon the mutual agreement of the lease/purchase terms, the Fraser Town Board will review the kase and decide whether or nut to approve the contract. The lease/purchase price is $120,000 and we have proposed putting $20,000 "down" and spreading the rest uf the payments over a ten month period. Obviously, this is a significant investment for a three acre pared of unimproved land and, from the Town's financial standpoint it is in our best interest if the lease/purchase did not begin until sometime this summer (thereby allowing us to budget some of the payments in the 1998 budget). It is anticipated that the Town will hold clear-title to the land sometime in the spring of 1998. Upon full ownership of the land, we will continue to work with the Cemetery Association to delineate final uses of the parcel. The cost of the land will cause the Fraser Town Board to review their adopted 1997 budget and will delay other projects that had been planned for Fraser this year. We would appreciate your support as we announce any reduction in services and/or projects to Fraser residents. Sincerely, C-LL- Chuck Reid Town Manager c: Mayor Jeif Johnston and Fraser Board Members ýÿ ...-... . . ~ TOWN OF FRASEU "lcebux of the Natiun" P.O. Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Line: (970) 726-5518 April 22, 1997 Ron and Susan Anderson P.O. Box 548 Fraser, CO 80442 Dear Ron and Susan: Rich Newton, AHorney fcx the Grand County l.ibrary District, contacted the Town relative to your question about whether or nol granting the waler and sewer easement through your property for the new Grand County Library would aftl.;ct the density you are allowed on the property. The simple answer is no, but I want to qualitY the answer. lInd~r Fraser's current regulations granting an easement for public utilities docs not cITect: . the lot size as il is used for determining open space requiremenls; . the setbacks that are required for residential development; or . lhe allowed "density" for any particular parcel. Ilowever, tht; building footprint can not encroach on the easernent. Based on what I know or your lul, lhis mt;(lns that your sid\.: yard sl:tback (along the west edge of the property) would increase from the standard regulatory seven (7) feet to ten (10) feet, which, I believe, is the width of the proposed casement. Thewfore, it is possible that you would need to decrease the size of any construction you planned on the property by three teet times the length of the casement (see attached diagram), Although thc si:lc of any building may have to be reduced, granting the casement docs not affect your allowed density for the IlUrcd. It occurs to me that the layout of your lot may lead you to make improvements, adjacent to Muse Driw for a driveway. When Fraser provides an easement on which improvements may be made, we stipulatc that any work required to maintain the inli"astructure housed in the easement may be made, but thatlhe conditions must be returned to "normal" ailcr the work is completed. For example, if you put an asphalt driveway in, and the driveway had to be tom-up to repair a ruptured pipe, the responsibk agell(;y (i.e. the Towll or Sanitation District) would need to replace the damaged asphalt. e e y ,,~ TOWN OF FRASER "Icebox of the Nation" P.o.
