The draft report recommends the following funding split for the proposed $182.4 million of highway improvements: Federal/State - $49.2 million (27%) Local Funds - $133.1 million (73%) The report also recommends a$1.00 ski lift ticket surcharge as a means of funding the local share of improvements. I feel that federal and state agencies should be responsible for a greater share of the funding for these improvements. The improvements benefit the general public twelve months a year, not just for skiers during the ski season. I also have serious reservations about utilizing all four lanes of the Eishenhower Tunnel for only eastbound traffic during peak skier periods thereby forcing all westbound traffic over Loveland Pass. These recommendations require additional analysis. . ~ Mr. Dave Ruble October 12, 1987 Page 2 Please call me if you have any questions. I look forward to continuing my participation with the I-70 West Task Force and feel that much has been accomplished.

A basic purpose of this major study effort is to show how out-of-basin water sales (i.e. to Metro Denver) can provide significant economic and recreational benefits for the Upper Gunnison area. This important $500,000 study effort is being funded by the state of Colorado, the Bureau of Reclamation, and several West Slope water districts. The study results should be of special interest to the Corps and Forest Service, as it will undoubtedly reconfirm older Bureau studies that have identified the virgin Upper Gunnison as an excellent alternative water source for population growth along the front range. The Corps' staff has already c:ontirmed that a large, high altitude, Upper Gunnison reservoir at Union Park cou?d hP an environmentally sound and cost effective alternative for enhancing the flow in the South Platte, Arkansas, and Gunnison Rivers during critical drought periods. Now, this Upper Gunnison study will also soon confirm this cost effectiveness as well as the institutional suaport necessar,y for early construction of a Gunnison alternative in lieu of the currently preferred Two Forks Project for Metro Denver. In view cf this onqoing Upper Gunnison stud_y and the clear legal mandate of the National Environmental Policy Act that all reasonable alternatives be consiciered, request the Two Forks EIS and any permitting decisions be deferred until the Gunnison water supply study alternatives are available for comparison in mid 1988. With the recent slow down in Metro Denver's population growth, there is no valid reason to press for early permitting and construction of the most environmentally damaging Two Forks Project. This is esoecially true when 1l,IICrC Is gcod reason to believe that a major ongoing study will soon show an Upper Gunnsion alternative will provide more water for less Cu;,i, wniiP ennanr_.ing environmenis oT inree rive?- ~ ariu ?educing further depletion of our Upper Culcrado tributaries.

These BOR studies srow a maximum annual transmountain diversion potential from the Upper Gunnison of 400,000 acre feet. This compares with the addit- ional 98,000 acre feet that Tvio Forks Dam will extract from the South Platte and Upper Colorado River Basins. These basins have aiready been substantially dewatered by Metro Denver and other F?sfi Slope users, while the Gunnison River remains untouched by any diversions out of basin. Although the virgin Upper Gunnison would undoubtedly be a more balanced future water source for Metro Denver from the state's overall viewpoint, this alternative was unfcr*>?nately not consid- ered in tne c;orps of Engineers' five year Metro Denver Water Supply Drdit EIS. As a result, the most expensive and environmentaliy damaging Two Forks alternative is still the preferred project of the Denver Water Department. In the absence of a clear.objection from Colorado off'icials, the Corps of Engineers has recently de= clined to consider the alternative Gunnison water source in a supplement to their Draft EIS. As a result, the momentum for Two Forks continues to build in spite of the National Environ- mental Pclicy rict (*?EPA), which clearly requires consideration of all reasonable alternatives in the EIS process. If 'Uhe Corps ~ co,t,L i_r~~ie~ iLS preseriL C;UUi'.~'C~ ~ • ~c...p, stu-y, effort will be a great dissez-vice to Colorado, and the Final EIS will•undoubt- edly be legally challenged by numerous organizations that object to the severe environmental impacts of Two Forks, the high cost, and the unbalanced use of the state's available water resources. In an effort to head oii iurt-h°r confusion and a serious natural resources mistake (with national wildlife implications), suggest your office make key officials of Colorado, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service, and EPA fully aware of your state funded, Upper Gunnison Water Study. According to your published study schedu'c, the volume of surplus Gunnison water potentially available for diversion to Metro Leiiv2T' will be reconfirmed and made public in an interim Task Report during February 1988. Since Key West Slope and state interests, such as the Bureau of F.O. Gox Gu7 • r"•almer LaV.e, Cal;;rarJo 80133 •(303) 4II1 •2003 ' Reclamation, Colorado River Water Conservation District, Colo- rado Water Conservation Board, Upper Gunnison Rivzr Water Con- servancy District, Tri-County Water Conservancy District, Un- compahgre Vaiiey Water T?sers Association, and Colorado Division of Wildlife are all represented on your Technical Steering Committee, the study results should have a great deal of valid- ity and general support. By June, 1988, your study Task Report will be issued comparing Gunnison transmountain diversion plans ns the proposed Collegiate Range and Union Park Projects, as well as other transmuurttain CO:":CPptS from the Gunnison. The complete Upper Gunnison Water Study Summary Repart will be available in August 1988, and this summary should provide decision makers an excellent vehicle to compare the Two Forks project with the various Gunnison water alternatives for Metro Denver. Natural Energy's engineering studies have already shown that a 1~rE;P Ilnion Parl: P,csscrvoir oii the Gunnison side of the Contin- erital Divide can increase Metro Denver's water supply 40% more thari Two Forks for about 607o of the cost per acre foot of yield. In addition, Union Parlc can actually ennarluc the Gunnison, South Flatte, and Arlca.nsas River flows and environments during critical drought periods wYien fish and wildlife are endangered. The Corps of Engineers has recently confirmed the cost effectiveness of Union Park, However, their refusal to study Gunnison water alter- natives js based solely on the "institutional" time it could take to 1.egally divert this surplus water to Tletro Denver. This "paper" excuse appears to be self-serving and a"red herring", as institut- ioi1aJ_ hurdles would soon melt when both slopes can clearly see the economic and environmetltal advantages of a Gunnison water system compared to the inherent disadvantages of Two Forks. The real problem is the Denver Water Department and the Corps' embar- rassing failure to consider the alternative Upper Gunr.iso:, water source in the original Draft EIS report. In short, the Colorado Water and Power Authority's Upper Gunnison Water Study can have a timely and major impact on the most important water resources decision ever made in the State of Colorado. Suggest wide dissemination of your interim Task Reports as they become avail- ah~~ 7,_lring the progress of the study. Eest of luck with your study effort. Sincerely, _ i~...~.~,Z Allen D.

A thoughtful and courageous Colorado Wildlife Commission resolution could pursuade state officials to ask for consideration of the Gunnison in the Metro Denver Water Supply EIS. In the interest' of Colorado's wildlife, it seems the Commission has a responsibility to respond to the overall Two Forks threat - not just to the miti- gation plan details of the Denver Water Department's preferred project.

Union Park Better Alternative UNION PARK, a 900,000 acre feet rnultipurpose West Slope reser- voir ori tlie Continental Divide, is a much better water development ' alternative for Colorado and Metro Denver because: UNION PARI<'s rockfiil darn arid 42 mile gravity conduit from the Gunnisori to the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers can increase Met- ro Denver's water supply 40°/o more ttian Two Forks for about 6096 of the cost per acre foot oi increased yield. UNION PARK can be constructed earlier than Two Forks because it uses only surplus Upper Gunnison River flood waters that are cur- rently being lost by Colorado to down river states, and there is much less environmer-i'tai it-i-ipact. UNION PARK enllances Cclor-d-'s Gun^:so^, A,rkansas, and South. Platte river flows and environments during c:ritical drought periods. UNION PAfZI< saves tfie irreplacable South Platte fishery and reciuces the need to further dewater Upper Colorado River head- waters, wfiich serve as Metro Denver's playground. UNION PARK's Iiigh altitude water storage reduces evaporation loss and provides higlier quality water for Metro Denver than Two Forks. UNION PARf< stirnulates the recreation, tourist, urban, and agricul- tural econornies of both slopes. UNION PARIt reverses the current Two Forks threat to river recrea- tion, fisti, arid wildlife from Grand Junction to Omaha.

Goals pl 3. "Preserve...and improve...trail system" How? Will growth be removed? Digging? Objectives p2 3F "Install a lighting system on.main trail" Objection. Too much destruction during installation. Flood lights could be directed onto path for the few occasions they're needed. It is also important that the lights on Vail Valley Drive are functioning. Half of the time they're not. p2 3G "See Ford Master Plan for future trail plans." ~ p3 4C "Expand school outreach programs" Who is financing these programs? Schools?

JOB DESCRIPTIONS NC Director p5 or p7 (new version) "in addition to coordinating tournaments..for Rec. Dept" Barb Masoner is a full-time employee but works only part time as Director of NC. Yes? Makes more sense - and less conflict - to have Director work full time at NC. If necessary, eliminate job of Assistant Director. Assistant Director p5 or p7 (new version) asst. going full time) If you need an assistant director full time, how can you hire one without full-time benefits? Has the Council ever set up GUIDELINES for the Nature Center? I think not. If it had, there probably would not be "accidental" destruction. Some of the recommendations in P&P will destroy the natural terrain. If the Council agrees to the recommendations, despite the risks, then it is no longer a nature center. Council should set up a public policy - either we keep it natural or we don't.

VPL won first prize in a contest sponsored by the Colorado State Library in Denver. The $100. award will be presented at the Colorado Library Association Conference in Fort Collins on Sunday, October 11. Vail's adult P.R. program is supervised by Dean Willms, head of reference and adult services. Willms organized two autograph parties for Betty Ford, wrote original articles about the library and its collection for the local media and worked on a variety of P.R. programs that were call "creative and innovative" by the Colorado State Library. Competing against libraries of all sizes and types, including Denver Public Library and all other school and public libraries in Colorado, Vail was judged to be the best for 1987. Lori Haugland, head of youth services, won 3rd place in the 1987 Summer Reading Program for her program "The Sky's the Limit". Each week she had activities based on this theme including: kites, helicopters, airplanes, parachutists, stars, hot-air balloons and alien creatures. This is the first year we have won either award so we feel very fortunate to win two awards in one year. The notebooks will be available for viewing at the library after the awards presentation at the Colorado Library Association, Oct. 11.

We were successful in obtaining substantially the same language for Vail in the Senate bill as was included in the House Appropriations bill. The amount recommended, $900,000, was also the same. We made the request of the Senate through Tim Wirth's office, and his staff really went to bat for Vail on this project. I also talked with the subcommittee chairman, Senator Frank Lautenberg (DNJ). Now there should be no problem in keeping the Vail language in the final bill. This summer, we heard from the town attorney's office that UMTA had some confusion about the "Gore Valley Transit District" and what it referred to. We briefed him on what to say, and Sharon later called Stan Berriman at UMTA in Denver to explain what we were doing. They seem to have no problems now, and in fact may try to provide the funding earlier than next year. As we did this summer, we will of course continue to work with UMTA and, if necessary, Congress to solve any problems or answer any questions until the money is actually received by Vail. We are very pleased with our success on our first project, and hope you are as excited as we are! We would like to talk with you further and see what we can aim for next, as I believe there are more things we can do for the town. Our agreement with Vail was for a fee of $45,000 to be paid upon enactment of legislation directing UMTA to provide the town with $900,000 in bus funding. The Senate will take up the Transportation Appropriations bill on the floor possibly this week or next, and conference should begin soon thereafter. Once the bill has been signed into law, (or UMTA sends you the money, if they do as they are suggesting and try to fund you in this fiscal year), I think that will satisfy the agreement. If this does not agree in any way with your understanding, please let me know. If it does, please be kind enough to sign and return this letter. , ~ Page 2. It was good to see you in August. I look forward to seeing you this winter.

Mr. Cochrane was arrested and charged by the Vail Police Department as a result of his involvement in illegal drug dealing. The charges against Mr. Cochrane are pending in Eagle County Court, with plea bargaining/disposition discussions occurring between Mr. Cochrane's attorney and the District Attorney's Office. According to Ms. Diem, these discussions have not yet resulted in any recent "firm" offers either way. As it relates to Mr. Cochrane's comments relating to the fact that a disposition had been "worked out" but that the arresting officers from the Vail Police Department would not agree, Ms. Diem related that those comments were "absolutely ridiculous" in that "no disposition had been worked out" between the involved parties. It is, however, common practice for the District Attorney to review dispositions with the involved law enforcement agencies prior to agreeing to the disposition. In Mr. Cochrane's case, the involved agencies would be the Vail Police Department and the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). As stated, this discussion has not yet occurred in that no disposition has been reached. In closing, Ms. Diem feels that the letter from Mr. Cochrane is totally unacceptabl.e and against established rules of conduct in attempting to get elected officials involved in decisions reserved for others. She feels, and I would agree, that the Town Council should remain totally uninvolved in matters of this type. October 15, 1987 page 2 I would be available to discuss this situation with you, Larry Eskwith, or the Town Council should it be deemed appropriate. - - ~4;~ lowo ofi uail ~ 75 south frontage road office of the town manager vail, colorado 81657 (303) 476-7000 T0: VAIL TOWN COUN'I FROM: PAP1 BRANDMEYE~ DATE: 200CT87 ~ RE: NOMINEES FOR THE REGULAR MUNICIPAL ELECTION As of the deadline yesterday afternoon "ror submitting nomination petitions for Town Council, the following had qualified as candidates, alphabetically, of course: NEAL DONALDSON DAVE IRWIN . PAUL JOHNSTON MERV LAPIN COLLEEN MCCARTHY KENT ROSE HERMANN STAUFER TOM STEINBERG GAIL WAHRLICH-LOWENTHAL `colorado ski country USX 0 %ctober 15, 1987 V"F Colorado State Highway Commission Chairman, Thomas L. Strickland 4201 East Arkansas Avenue Denver, Colorado 80222 Dear Sirs: In recent days, there has been a flurry of inedia coverage regarding the response of the ski industry and ski towns to the "Final Report of the I-70 West Corridor Study." Representatives of the industry and from those towns submit this statement and appear before you today to correct any misconceptions that may be crystallizing as a result of the predominantly negative tone of the coverage. Colorado's roads are a critical life support system of the year-round tourism industry in Colorado. The ski industry acknowledges this. In a recent survey, in-state and out of state skiers were asked how they travelled to the resort either from home or their air gateway. 78% of those responding travelled by car or bus. Not surprisingly, we have fought alongside the Department of Highways in many legislative battles for adequate highway funding. I-70 is the east-west backbone of our highway system; and Colorado's ski areas and ski towns recognize the serious impediment to future growth created -by increasing congestion along that corridor. We applaud the efforts of the Department of Highways to manage this situation while something can still be done to correct'`it. The focus of the I-70 West Corridor study is timely. . Unfortunately, the release of the "final report" occurred before a consensus had been formed between those most affected the communities and businesses along the corridor and the highway planning staff driving the study. We, in the ski industry and ski resort communities, completely take issue with and reject some of the assumptions, facts, and findings of the report. We have never given our consent to these elements. The issues of dissent have been the subject of recent headlines: the proposed operations changes in Eisenhower Tunnel and over Loveland Pass; and the proposed financing mechanism. In addition we have questions about some of the assumptions upon one civic center plaza 1560 broadway, suite 1440 denver, colorado 80202 (303) 837-0793 r s' ~ • Colorado Highway Commission October 15, 1987 Page 2 which the models were based and the resulting phasing of the proposed improvements. Each of these issues could be the subject of lengthy letters and conversations. We understand that, as of last night, the Department of Highways has responded in part to our concerns. We regret, however, that introduction of this project to the public arena has been framed in negative, adversarial terms. It damages the public perception of everyone involved as wi~ll as the project - itself. This could have been avoided. In the absence of agreement about major elerients of this report, we feel that it is not ready for public review. Scheduled public hearings should be postponed. The report should be reconsidered a working draft. To its credit, it has provided interested parties with a concrete docurient to which we can react. It has certainly grabbed our attention. We request that the task force be reassembled and its activities intensified. Greater representation of affected parties should be included for example, related state agencies like the State Patrol, summer tourism and the Colorado Association of Ski Towns. The final recommendations of the task force will have a much better chance of political survival if they are the product of consensus rather than the best judgement of staff. It is a mistake to treat those communities and businesses with so much at stake as advisors. Everyone serving on that task force should be an architect of the final recommendation. Assumptions, information and scenarios that have been reviewed and discarded by the staff should be put back out on the table. Ground rules by which the task force is to operate need to be clarified. The group process by which conclusions are drawn should be formalized. Votes should be taken. Forging consensus is a long and arduous process; but it is much easier to accomplish on the front end than down the road. We confess that as individuals, businesses, and communities, our participation in the study group, up until this time, has not been as consistent as we now know it should have been. This can be attributed to some facts of life hectic, meeting-filled schedules, a cynicism about "studies" born of past experience, and short-sightedness. r? ? Colorado Highway Commission October 15, 1987 Page 3 As we mentioned earlier, you now have our rapt attention. We pledge our full support and participation. It is in the best interest of our state that we move forward in a spirit of partnership and consensus. ' Thank you for your consideration.
