Dear Carolanne
Thank you for your recent correspondence to our Parks and Recreation Adwsory Board The Board will
receive a copy of your e-mad, as well as this response
Chns Dady, as President of Boulder Creek Events, has been seeking a site for the ice rink in 8oulder
s~nce last spring. Boulder Creek Events had identified several drfferent sdes, including park sites, the
Civic Plaza near the Tea House, and a sde on the CU campus However, the first choice for the location
had always been the sde at Chautauqua Park, as this was the only site where outside sponsorship fundmg
was avadable If the Parks and Recreat~on Advisory Board had groen their approval to the use of
Chautauqua, then the rmk would have been located ihere. In the meantime, Chns Daily was attemptmg to
keep other site options open, includmg the CU site It is our understanding that Boulder Creek Events had
not secured any commitments for outside sponsorship funding for that site, or any other site. Without a
commdment for outside funding from CU or the State, it is doubHul whether Boulder Creek Events would
have used this site
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding that you may have had It was clear to staff at the time of the
Board deliberations, the Chautauqua sde was the number one site that Boulder Creek Events was
seeking approval to use, but that other sites were still bemg considered, should the approval he denied
If you have any further questions, please contact me at 303-413-7211
Sincerely,

Dear Parks and Rec board,
Thank you for your thoughtful deliberation of the proposed ice nnk in
Chautauqua Park I have offered to do what I can to help make the nnk a
reality this year in a more appropnate site
I wanted to bring one detad to your attention Directly after the
meetmg last rnght I was told by Chris Dadey (please allow me to confirm
his name if need be), from the Creek Festrval that they already have an
altematroe site The site is near the pond at C.U I am uncomfortable
with the wdhholding of this information considenng iYs potential impact
on your deasion As I mentioned at the meeting, I am new to addressing my
issues in a public forum. I do hope this is not standard or acceptable
behavior. Thank you, Carolanne McKirnan
