last week there had been a meeting called to critique the entire tour. He said they
will be writing the Denver Post with a reply. He then mentioned for the first five
years. of the Ride the Rockies Tour the routes would be rotated, so there were no
plans to counteract the publicity at this time, but he hoped later we would try to
get on the established route.

for personal and business reasons, Gordon would resign from Town Council effective

had served on the Council and wished Gordon the best. Gordon commented he would
contribute his time as best he could until the end of September. There was some
discussion regarding setting a special election date. At this time, Gail Wahrlich-
Lowenthal stated she felt Gordon was "true blue" and hoped he would come back to
meetings after he was a "free man" to give them his ideas on issues. At this time,
Merv Lapin made a motion to approve September 13, 1988 as the date for a special

The first order of business was Ordinance No. 20, Series of 1988, first reading,
changing the hour of 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. for closing down amplified sound in the
Core. Mayor Pro Tem Slevin read the full title. Larry Eskwith stated the change
was made at the request of a local restaurateur who was concerned because they
served dinner until 10:00 p.m. and wanted to play their music until that time.
After some discussion by Council, Terry Evans questioned playing longer on special
weekends, like July Fourth and Memorial Day, to help keep crowds under control; he
was also concerned about decibel levels. Mayor Pro Tem Slevin explained Council was
trying to keep everyone happy and modifying the hours should do it for awhile.
Terry asked again about. extending the hours over special weekends, to which Pepi
Gramshammer agreed. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal commented she. would like to leave the
time at 10:00 p.m., and agreed with the 65 decibel level at the property line. She
commented this should be discussed with the Police Department next year as far as
extending hours for crowd control. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal made a motion to approve
the ordinance with a typographical correction in Section 1, and Tom Steinberg
seconded. At this time, Gordon Pierce stated he agreed with Pepi that there needed
to be some flexibility with extending the time maybe one hour only on Saturdays, and
requested this be checked into before second reading. Merv Lapin asked Pepi
Gramshammer to get a petition for the hour extension from the people who live in the
area; Council's concern was for the residents in the area. Pepi responded he had
not heard of any complaints. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously
6-0.
The next item was Ordinance No. 21, Series of 1988, first reading, repealing and
reenacting the Special Development Districts section of the Municipal Code. The
full title of the ordinance was read by Mayor Pro Tem Slevin. Tom Braun asked if
Council wanted to review the entire set of changes or just problems they may have
with certain areas. Mayor Pro Tem Slevin stated just certain areas; he had a
problem with Underlying Zoning. Tom then reviewed Section D, "Underlying Zone
Districts" and explained specifics. Larry Eskwith explained further the background
of SDD's and underlying zoning. After much discussion by Council, Peter Jamar
commended the staff for cleaning up this ordinance. He commented this had been
needed for a couple of years and would like the ordinance passed tonight, but he
would prefer no underlying zoning. He proposed language change under Uses 18.40.070
and thought language could be done to simplify things. Chuck Crist asked questions
of Tom Braun concerning more SDD's, to which Tom responded. Jay Peterson agreed
with Tom that the Planning and Environmental Commission should look at the changes
proposed, and requested the ordinance be passed tonight. Peter Patten recommended
Council not to change the policy, that underlying zoning provided a support basis
and gave reasons why he felt this way. Eric Affeldt made a motion to approve the
ordinance, which Tom Steinberg seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously 6-0.
The third item of business was Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1988, first reading,
amending the Municipal Code pertaining to parking fees charged for exempted areas.
The full title was read by Mayor Pro Tem Slevin. Tom Braun stated staff was
requested by Council to change the fees charged of $3,000 and $5,000 to $10,000. He
commented on the reasons for increasing the fees and gave background information.
He reviewed the Planning and Environmental Commission's decisions and the reasoning
behind them. Tom Steinberg commented he felt strongly the fee should be raised to
$10,000 minimum. Mayor Pro Tem Slevin stated he felt the problem was deeper; who is
responsible, the Town or the developer? He stated he supported the Planning
Commission's decision, the fee should be raised to a reasonable rate, and the
Parking Task Force should review with public input. He stated he was looking more
at $6,000 and the issue should be looked into deeper. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal
stated the Town's real costs should be passed on to the developer; no more, no less.
She supported a fee in the area of $8,000; that if developers had to pay 100% of the
costs, they should have 100% of the use. Gordon Pierce agreed with Tom Steinberg.
Eric Affeldt stated if businesses bring in people, they should help pay for parking,
and he agreed with the $10,000 minimum. At this time, Peter Patten explained more
background information. Merv Lapin gave his reasons why he agreed with the $10,000
as a minimum. After Chuck Crist asked questions of Council, Jay Peterson commented
why he was against the increase and wanted a parking study done. After much more
discussion, Peter Jamar agreed with Jay. After more discussion by Jay Peterson,
Peter Jamar and Pepi Gramshammer, Eric Affeldt made a motion to approve the
ordinance with a change in Section 18.52.160 B.5 regarding the amount charged from
$10,000 to $8,000 and encouraged staff to press on to complete a parking study as
soon as possible. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal seconded the motion. At this time,
Gordon Pierce commented he was opposed to the $8,000 figure but would approve $6,000
until a study was done. A vote was taken and the motion to approve the ordinance
with a change in the amount charged to $8,000 passed 4-2, with Mayor Pro Tem Slevin
and Gordon Pierce opposing. Peter Patten commented the parking study was a part of
the Master Plan, and it was scheduled to be started in September to be done in the
winter.
The next order of business was Resolution No. 28, Series of 1988, setting the date
for a special election to choose a Council member to fill the unexpired term of
Gordon Pierce. Larry Eskwith commented the resolution was self-explanatory. There
was no discussion by Council or the public. A motion to approve the resolution was
made by Merv Lapin and seconded by Tom Steinberg. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 6-0.
The fifth item was the Medsker request to amend the adopted geo-sensitive area
debris flow map from high to medium hazard in the area of Lot 12, Block 1, Vail
Uillage 13th Filing. Rick Pylman gave background information on the area and the
Medskers' request. He noted Art Mears did the original study and also the work for
the Medskers, and that staff had no recommendation. Rick, Larry Eskwith and Peter
Patten then answered questions of the Council regarding the surrounding area.
After a short discussion by Council, Gordon Pierce made a motion to approve the
request to change the classification, which was seconded by Eric Affeldt. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
The sixth order of business was the Vail water conservation proposal by Jebbie
Brown. She proposed that everyone in town use quart jars in their toilet tanks to
conserve water. She stated they were asking for more and financial support from the
community and explained the plans to initiate the program. Merv Lapin asked if she
had talked to the Water Board because they send out mailings every month. Mayor Pro
Tem suggested she go to Rotary, the Water Board and the Board of Realtors for
support to help get things rolling. Merv Lapin and Mayor Pro Tem Slevin gave Jebbie
contact names for each of the Boards. Mayor Pro Tem Slevin commented Council would
talk to Ron Phillips about a resolution to designate a date the program officially
begins. Jebbie thanked the Council for their help and support.
The next item was action on a horse drawn carriage agreement addendum. Larry
Eskwith explained Steve Jones had one horse drawn carriage and wanted two. He noted
according to Stan Berryman, there would be no problems with this. There was no
discussion by Council or the public. A motion to approve the addendum was made by
Merv Lapin and seconded by Gordon Pierce. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously 6-0.
Under Citizen Participation, Steve Michaelson introduced himself as a candidate
running for the District Attorney's office. He explained his background and
willingness to work with our Police Department, and answered questions of Council.
At this time, Merv Lapin commented he had noticed a dead end sign on Piney Road
which was mislocated, and asked Larry Eskwith to have Stan Berryman relocate it at a
more proper place. Tom Steinberg stated the letter they received concerning
-2-
construction noise be responded to by Ron Phillips. Also, Tom was concerned about
the public's perception of the Holy Cross parcel purchase and requested it be placed
on the agenda of the next public meeting so the public could voice their opinions.

Dear Sheika:
I appreciate your concern about having the stop sign in the
middle of the street at the intersection of Bridge Street and
Gore Creek Drive. We had removed that stop sign for awhile
and then were requested by some Village merchants to replace
the sign because they felt ~-t was a traffic hazard with
delivery trucks and other vehicles going through the
intersection to the east and bicycles and pedestrians coming
down Bridge Street from the south creating a potential point
of conflict.
I suggest that you and George Knox get together and discuss
your differing views and see if one argument outweighs the
other. In the meantime, the staff and I will take another
look at the situation and see if there is any way to
accommodate some control of traffic at that intersection
without having a sign in the middle of the street.
Since a y,

Dear Ed:

The dead end sign on Red Sandstone Road has. been moved up
past the Piney Lake Road intersection as you suggested. The
moving of that sign was placed on the Public Works action
list as soon as you talked to me about it the first time.
Unfortunately, there are a number of priority activities
being done during a busy summer by the Public Works crews and
that was not considered a priority item for immediate
attention. I apologize if the work was not done as quickly
as you would have liked.
Hopefully, moving the sign will solve the problem of people
turning into your street thinking they are on the Piney Lake
Road. You will notice that the Town has also placed a new
sign at the Piney Lake Road intersection replacing the Forest
Service identification sign which had deteriorated.
Si ncere.l~y,

Dear Mr. Halterman:
VAIL 1989
In response to your letter of July 12, 1988 to the Vail Town
Council, I have investigated the ordinance which currently
regulates construction hours in a residential area. As you
will note in the enclosed copy of the ordinance, there is a
limit on the sound level during particular hours, but no
limitation placed on the hours of construction. I was unable
to discern from your letter if there is, in fact, a problem
with the sound levels. If, in fact, you feel the sound levels
exceed 90 decibels between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
or 50 decibels from T:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., please contact the
police department or Susan Scanlan, the Environmental Health
Officer. There is a sound meter available and the sound levels
can be checked at the property line in question. As a
reference level, 90 decibels is the level of sound one would
hear standing 25 feet from a jackhammer.
The Council did consider the possibility of revision to the
ordinance as it currently exists. However, since the
construction season is so short here in Vail, they felt it
would be detrimental to limit the residential construction in a
manner similar to the core area. Construction is limited in
the core during these times when there are large crowds
anticipated and continuing construction could pose a safety
hazard. The hours are also limited because of the nature and
density of the core area.
L "
If you have any further questions regarding this issue please
contact Susan Scanlan at 476-7000 ext 105.
Sincerely,,
~° ,~~~ ,

Anderson gives himself a 6- to C+
s ci y-county
mgr position made permanent
by Dave Price
City-county manager Bob
Anderson came out Monda
against a proposal to make his
$85,000 a year job a permanent
position, calling the idea
premature.
Anderson added that while
he's doing an "OK" job for the
city, he only gives himself a B-
minus to C-plus in terms of his
performance for the county.
But the pro-consolidation
group GRIP wants to ask voters
inNovember to makeAnderson's
job ofcity-county manager a part
of both the city and county char-
ters, according to GRIP leader
Dick Fenton.
Political Agenda
Fenton, a conservative Repu-
blican, has taken over the helm
of the non-partisan Government
Research and Implementation
Project from founder Walter
Ganz, a Democratic activist.
While Ganz will remain as chair-
man, Fenton said he will now
spearhead GRIP's political
agenda.
That agenda, according' to
Fenton, includes:
• Pushing the city of Aspen to
annexoutlying"suburban"sreas
such as the Airport Business
Center, Red Mountain, Meado-
wood, and much of the Aspen
Highlands.
By annexing those areas, the
count},s budget could be cut by
50 percent "or more," Fenton
said. The city's- budget would
probably increase by a like
amount. And, while Fenton
didn't say it, the move would
probably reduce the power of the
five county commissioners.
• Asking the voters to make
the job of city-county manager
permanent.
• Combining any city depart-
ment with a county department
that performs the same function.
For instance, the city and county
have separate clerk's offices.
GRIP favors combining those
oflces to reduce duplication and
save tax dollars.
Other departments targeted
by GRIP for consolidation
include the road and bridge and
law enforcement. Fenton said an
elected sheriff should run both
the Aspen police and county
y sheriffs department.
Sheriff Bob Braudis wants no
partoftheAspenpolice-saying
that havingtwo law enforcement
agencies in the Courthouse base-
ment creates a check-and-
balance situation and fosters a
healthy competition between
cops.
No More Talking
GRIP's objectives came from
the Aspen Master Plan, a docu-
ment produced by a consolida-
tion consultant hired by the city
government.
Many officials complained the
report told them what they
already knew about
consolidation.
"We feel the time for talk is
over," Fenton said.
Fenton said GRIP hopes to
raise $5,000 to $10,000 for the
ballot issue regarding the city-
county manager position. The
money would pay for advertising
and cover the fees of lawyers who
would prepare the wording of the
referendum.
The campaign should start
around mid-September, he said.
Fenton said GRIP will ask the
Pitkin County commissioners
and Aspen city council to put the
charter amendment questions
on the Nov 8 ballot. If they
refuse, GRIP plans to obtain the
signatures necessary to force the
question, Fenton said.
One Man, Two Votes
If the question lands on both
the city and county ballots, vot-
ers living within Aspen's city
limits will be able to vote twice.
That's because they9l be asked to
change the city charter on one
ballot and the county charter on
the other..-
The measure has to be
approved by both city and county
voters before it becomes part of
the charter, Fenton explained.
Anderson said Monday that
making his job permanent °is
premature by a year."
Anderson was originally
brought to Aspen in 1986 to man-
age the city government. When
John Eldert resigned as county
manager last year, Anderson
was hired by the county commis-
sinners to run that government
as well on a two-year experimen-
tal basis.
Who is in Charge?
"The county people don't look
at me as being fully in charge,"
Anderson said.
Anderson, in an interview
Monday, was frank about his job
performance, saying he deserves
only a B-minus to Gplus in
terms of managing the county.
"I'm not totally satisfied about
the rnunty's side of this. I like to
get As -and it's not an A yet "
"My own personal view is that
maybe there should there should
be citizens involved in the
analysis (of whether the job
should be permanent)," Ander-
son explained. "Is it feasible for
one man to serve two masters
long term? I'm not totally sure. I
think there is a chance, but I
don't know."
New Shirts
Anderson said he's spending
too much time incounty commis-
sioner meetings and not enough
time being an administrator.
As for GRIP's ideas about con-
solidating city and county
departments, Anderson isn't
sure it will save much money.
Regardless of who does it, the
roads will still have to be plowed,
he said.
"It's more likely that they
would have to go from one color
shirt to another (if consolidation
oceurred)," Anderson said.
Anderson said that reducing
the county's budget by 50 per-
cent "sounds close to being
impossible."

consolidation studies
costly, but welcome
if annexation proceeds
Pressure by GRIP (Government Research
and Implementation Project), a local citizens'
group, to persuade the city and' county to conso-
lidate, asapproved bylocal voters several years.
-ago, is to be applauded. There can be no ques-
tion that sharing governmental functions and
'offices would save money and increase
efficiency.
But, like some city council members, wewon-
dered about the value of the first phase of the
consolidation study, financed by three entities
and completed last winter, which emphasized
the great savings and increased efficiency that
could be achieved by complete political and
structural .consolidation. It was obvious then
.that thfs would take an amendment to the state
constitution:
This week, Phase 2 of the study also recog-
nized this problem and noted that "all author-
ized methods of placing an amendment on the
statewide ballot are quite complex and politi-
cally contentious," and recommended that the
city achieve as much structural consolidation
as possible through annexation..
In essence, after spending $12,000 for the
two study phases, the city, county-and GRIP
learned .that they should do what they have
already been doing and were told how they
should proceed, something .that had been
explained many times by their own attorneys.
Some people would claim the funds spent on
the study were wasted. But if they served to
focus governmental attention on annexation,
they did serve some purpose.
The report also reminded council members
that annexation would enfranchise residents
in the areas to be annexed and "would address
the political demands of those residents who
~~
-~
view their destiny as inextricably entwined
with Aspen and who wish to have a voice in the
affairs of Aspen by voting in city elections and
by participating fully in the political. life of
Aspen."
To some, that sentence itself was worth the
money spent on the two studies. Others might
be content with this: "If functional consolida-
tionwere pursued simultaneously and the goal
of maximizing the cost savings that would flow
therefrom, some portion of the efficiency objec-
tive might also be attained."
Although the two studies took many pages to
tell city and county officials what they already
knew and recommended a course of .action
already in progress, Phase 2 of the study did

PITKIN ~ ~/ ~~
remind the council that it had decided to seek
revision of the county's distribution of its sales
tax to compensate for services given up_by the
county and assumed by the city through
annexation.
Although they have discussed changing the
sales tax distribution formula at past sessions,
city council and board of commissioners mem-
bers have been so busy in recent months that
they seemed to have forgotten the need to do so,
and the block this presents to annexation goals.
If Phase 2 of the study refocuses their atten-
tion on this topic and results in an agreement
that leads to additional annexation, and the
many benefits that will accrue, the $12,000 will
have been well spent.
