Other VAIL TOWN COUNCIL WORK SESSION TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1987 2:00 p.m. EXPANDED AGENDA 2:00 1. D-iscussion of Proposed Joint Letter Concerning Homestake II Larry Eskwith Action Requested of Council: Approve/modify letter to the editor which has been drafted by UEUW&S legal counsel. Background Rationale: Dave Mott, Bill James, Norm Wood, Jim Lamont, Peter Patten, Larry Eskwith and Ron Phillips met last Monday to discuss the best strategy for getting a political message to the County Commissioners without jeopardizing the legal process. We agreed that a letter to the editor approved and signed by as many municipal and district boards as possible in the County would be effective in getting the message to the commissioners without infringing on the established legal process where no additional information may be officially submitted to the Commissioners. The proposed letter as drafted by Calkins, Kramer, Grimshaw & Harring is enclosed for Council's review. If Ccuncil approves the letter, it will be submitted to all newspapers in Eagle County, Colorado Springs and Denver. Staff Recommendation: Approve the letter. 2:20 2. Discussion of Vail Marketing Program with the Marketing Beth Slifer Committee Action Requested of Council: Discuss the proposed marketing program with the newly appointed committee. They met last Tuesday afternoon and have some initial recommendations to discuss with the Council. Beth Slifer was appointed as spokesperson for the Committee. 3:30 3. Discussion of Prioritization of Goals Action Requested of Council: Review individual Council member goals as discussed two weeks ago and work on prioritizing them. Background Rationale: The goals as listed by Council members in the last meeting have been typed and also grouped for further study. The Council will work on prioritizing those and coming to some consensus on the most important issues. 4:45 4. Information Update 4:50 5. Other Draft December 22, 1987 To The Editor: The Homestake II project, proposed by the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs, has been the subject of much debate and controversy during the past year - and for good reason. If built, Homestake II would have profound detrimental impacts upon the future economic and environmental health of Eagle county. As local governmental officials, representing the Towns of Avon, Vail , , and , and the and water districts, we have joined an overwhelming majority of County residents in asking the Eagle County Commissioners to deny the Homestake II permit application.because many of the adverse impacts of the project cannot be effectively mitigated. We take this opportunity to explain why this permit must be denied. During the twelve days of hearings held earlier this year, evidence presented to the Commissioners and the County Planning Commission demonstrated that Homestake II cannot meet established standards for protection of the environment and cannot comply with the Eagle County Master Plan. The end result of construction of the project would be significant degradation of the natural amenities that enhance the quality of life for all Eagle County residents, and provide the basis for our recreational economy. First, diversions of water to the east slope by Homestake II will cause concentrations of toxic heavy metals to exceed water quality standards set by the Colorado Department of Health. We already have a serious water quality problem on the Eagle River due to heavy metals pollution from the abandoned Eagle Mine. Homestake II, by removing clean waters from high in our watershed (the Holy Cross Wilderness Area), would result in higher concentrations of pollutants including lead, cadmium, copper, zinc, iron and manganese. The recent fish kill in the Eagle River, probably due to high concentrations of pollutants during low flow periods, demonstrates the critical nature of this problem. While Homestake II would not have been diverting when this particular fish kill occurred, it could have caused the problem to occur earlier in the season and thus to extend for a longer period of time. Second, expert testimony presented during the hearing established the fact that Homestake II will result in an absolute loss of wetlands within the Holy Cross Wilderness area. the Cities argue that the project will only cause "changes" in the wetlands involving a possible 1150 percent increase in woody vegetation." However, such changes will irrevocably alter the character of the wilderness area. Only last month, the US Army Corps of Engineers found that the wetlands monitoring and mitigation plan proposed by the Cities is not sufficient to meet their goals for protection of the wetlands. The Corps proposed a list of additional monitoring and mitigation measures which have not been accepted by the Cities. Third, the combined effects of Homestake II would degrade many of the natural amenities that have enabled Eagle County to develop a healthy and stable economy based upon summer and winter tourism and recreation. The basis for the economic health of Eagle County is irrevocably linked to our spectacular natural environment. Who will come to Eagle County to fish after reading about more frequent and extended fish kills in the Eagle River? Who will visit the Holy Cross Wilderness during construction of tunnels and diversions dams and after stream flows have been reduced by 80 to 90 percent? What will happen to the spectacular waterfalls on Cross and Fall Creeks during the spring snowmelt? Will more rafters go to the Colorado River and Arkansas River instead of coming to the Eagle River? Will the Cities continue to oppose our efforts to find water supplies for winter snowmaking which is vital if our ski areas are to remain competitive? While these questions are difficult to answer precisely, it is clear that the end result for Eagle County is a diminishment in the attractiveness of our environment which will adversely affect our ability to compete in the tourism and recreational industry. Fourth, Homestake II clearly violates the Eagle County Master Plan. The County Master Plan states that "Eagle County should oppose water diversions that adversely affect its people and environment." In addition, the Master Plan outlines the following specific goals, the attainment of which will be much more difficult for Eagle County citizens if Homestake II is approved: 1. The encouragement and strengthening of the recreation and tourism industries. 2. Protection of the economy of the county and the lifestyles of its inhabitants. 3. Protection, maintenance and enhancement of fish and wildlife habitat, natural water systems, unique landforms, and scenic qualities. 4. Maintenance and enhancement of water quality and quantity, and protection from degradation by out-of- basin water diversions. Furthermore, the County Commissioners must not overlook the fact that Homestake II, is only one more phase of a much larger plan for transmountain water diversion to the Colorado Front Range. While Homestake II would take an astonishing 84 percent of the remaining Eagle River water available for development in the dry year, the Cities are planning further expansion of the Homestake Collection System in the future (the Eagle-Arkansas Project). In addition, Denver plans to develop other diversion projects such as the proposed Eagle-Piney and Eagle-Colorado projects, which will further reduce the water resources in Eagle County. Eagle County and other west slope counties can no longer afford to take a piecemeal approach to transmountain water diversions which, in the aggregate, will have a devastating impact on the economy and the environment. The Vail Valley Consolidated Water District has proposed a plan, the Green Mountain Exchange, which would allow front range cities to development additional west slope water more cost effectively and with less damage to the environment. While Denver has expressed an interest in pursuing this proposal, the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs have refused to work cooperatively with the west slope in any way. We strongly believe that the evidence supports denial of the Homestake II permit application. We appreciate the careful consideration which the County Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners have given to the issues involved in reviewing the Homestake II permit application. However, we hope that our concerns, as outlined above will be fully addressed, and we urge the citizens of Eagle County to continue expressing their views on this matter which is of such critical importance to the future of Eagle County.

There will be brief language brought forth to amend the business license ordiinance on January 4, 1988. The following areas will be defined and clarified. * Seasonal Business * Sq uare Footage * Seats * Rentable Units One other business type has come to our attention which may merit the same Council consideration as was g`iven to athletic clubs. This business type is theatres. If the theatres are left as is, it means they pay the full square footage price. Two other options which may have merit are: (1) to include theatres with the $1,000 maximum granted to athletic clubs or (2) to charge on a per seat basis (perhaps $2.50 to $3.00 per seat). I am not planning to include any changes for theatres in the January 4, 1988 amendment unless the Council wishes to make a change in this area. Larry and I are exploring methods to assess businesses operating outside of Vail. We hope to have at least the preliminary research completed by the January 4, 1988 Council Work Session.
