The items of concern identified in the above correspondence and news include: 1) A bus stop and shelter. 2) Separation of the bike path from the frontage road. 3) Landscaping to screen the parking lot from the highway view. 4) A retail facility in downtown Vail. I will address these concerns in the above order. 1) The request for a bus stop is interesting and not one which we normally receive. Generally, bus shelters are an amenity provided by the municipality or city. It would seem most unusual to request various businesses to provide shelters. Nevertheless, as this seems to be a major item of concern, I am requesting our architect, contractor and facilities service office to give consideration to this item. As the Vail project is already funded, there will be no new money made available. It is necessary that we find funds for this somewhere within the existing contract. It is my understanding that the town of Vail would obtain an easement from the Highway Department to provide space for this bus shelter. Mayor Kent Rose Page 2 November 22, 1988 Providing that we can fit the shelter into the existing contract budget and the town obtains the easement, we will provide the requested amenity. 2) We have asked our architect to review your request to separate the bike path from the fr~antage road. We will comply with this if at all possible. 3) We have asked the architect to give consideration to providing landscaping which would screen our parking lot from the view below. I do not believe this will be a large problem, but funding for this must also be within our contract budget. 4) I have had numerous and lengthy conversations with Vail Postmaster Ernie Chavez relative to a retail facility in downtown Vail. He has advised that the Town Council, or at least one member of the Town Council, has suggested that Vail could provide space in the Lionshead parking structure on a dollar per year basis. If the Town Council would like to provide this, or comparable space, we will consider providing service. We have numerous designs of self-service postal centers which could be installed in such a location. These service centers provide all normal retail functions. I trust that the above is responsive to the concerns which you and others have raised concerning our new facility at Vail. Sincerely, _~/ V~ ~ .. W. D.

Unfortunately, Colorado's leaders seem afraid to stop the dam's federal permitting, before our state's economy and image are seriously damaged by a major legal and PR battle with almost every national environmental group. Denver's controversial Two Forks Project is scandalous, because several superior alternatives have been purposely omitted from the $40 million environmental study, to protect the 50 year obsession of the Denver ,iJater Department (DtiJD). Many water engineers have long known there are more efficient and less damaging alternatives. However, these experts have been systematically squelched by Colorado's monolithic water establishment that is largely beholden to DbdD's politically powerful, non-elected officials. As a result, the Corps of EYigineers is about to issue a Two Forks construction permit that will forever destroy a treasured canyon that has national environmental significance. D6AD's latest political maneuvering for Two Lorks started in the early 1980's, when it succeeded in convincing Governor Lamm's `Dater Round Table Committee of the need to dam the South Platte. The Round Table members were mostly prominent non-engineering, water "experts", with a Two Forks bias and little choice but to accept D6dD's technical advice. Cost and environmental comparisons of the obvious options, including TWO Forks, Green Mountain E~cchange, City - Farm Recycling, and the untapped G~uuiison were never considered. As a result, the ill-advised Round Table group obediently endorsed DtiJD's old dream of damming the South Platte. This critical Round Table endorsement was then used in 1985 to convince Colorado's naive Legislature into passing HB No.1088, authorizing "a major multipurpose water project for the benefit of the Denver metropolitan area on the South Platte River". Because of these supposed mandates from Colorado's governor and Legislature, the Corps felt safe in limiting the study to South Platte dam sites and conservation measures. D6dD's old Two Forks site was naturally the best choice among the limited structural alternatives considered. to response to the Corps' Final EIS, Governor Romer is now trying to carry water on both shoulders with his June 10, 1988 Statement On Two 2 Forks To The People Of Colorado. He is inhibiting the better options by asking the Corps to issue a 25 year permit to construct Two lorks as an "insurance policy" for future growth. He has also created water development confusion by saying, "Colorado should build Two Forks only as a last resort". He goes on to say, "I challenge the residents of this state to find an alternative solution". In the same statement, Governor Romer also asked the state Legislature to help find a better alternative. The Legislature's response was its August 5, 1988 passage of HJR No.1001. This Joint Resolution appointed eight Two Forks oriented legislators to study the state's water policies and statutes, and report to the General Assembly by January 15, 1989. Their broad study assignment is completely impractical far the time frame, and an obvious diversionary tactic to avoid the governor's specific request to help find a better alternative. Meanwhile, D`JD continues to intimidate the governor and Colorado's water establishment with its threat to cut off future water taps to the 42 dependent Metro Denver water districts if they don't blindly support Two Forks. Under the guise of "Metro Cooperation", DtiVD has made water blackmail into a fine science. Colorado's public should know that Representative Chris Paulson was the sponsor of the critical Legislative actions that have effectively dictated the damming of the South Platte. Paulson is Colorado's House Majority Leader and an active member of the law firm that has received $ millions from D`4D to promote and defend Two Forks. Tf Governor Romer is really serious about alternatives, he should immediately ask the Corps to issue a Supplemental ETS that considers at least three of the major ongoing structural alternatives that were conveniently "overlooked" in the study process. For example, D~~iD already has a major study that indicates its Green Mountain ~ochange Project is less damaging and more efficient than Two forks. In fact, D`dD recently filed on the Green Mountain water rights as a backup alternative to Two Forks. DEAD knows that a Green Mountain agreement could be quickly negotiated with the `hest Slope if Two Forks ultimately succumbs to logic. Thornton's ongoing City -Farm Recycling Project is another ignored option that could be expanded and accelerated to provide more water, for less cost and damage than Two lorks. Tf Metro Denver would use only a small portion of the irrigation waters currently being diverted from the `Jest Slope before it is recycled to East Slope farms, the need for ~~ 3 additional dewatering of the same Upper Colorado headwaters would be greatly reduced. City -farm recycling is commonly used in semiarid areas. Arapahoe County's ongoing project to use a fraction of the vast surplus flood flows of the untapped Upper Gunnison is the third major water alternative that has been systematically ignored. Highly respected, international engineering firms have recently estimated that a large, off river, conservation reservoir at Union Park on the Gunnison side of the Continental Divide can increase the efficiency of Metro Denver's system 40•~ more than Two Forks for about 60'~ of the cost. By pumping surplus flood waters into high altitude storage in wet years, the Union Park Project can ,help guarantee adequate drought flows for Colorado's four major river environments, while still meeting Metro Denver's growth requirements. Curiously, all of these major structural alternatives are hardly mentioned in the L;lS, while being diligently pursued by Metro Denver's largest public entities. ;ach is less damaging, and could come on line sooner than Two Forks when a Supplemental ETS clearly provides a state wide consensus, based on relative environmental and economic merit. Colorado supports 70 percent of our nation's water attorneys, who pride themselves on how well our system. works in allocating the state's water resources for the public's greater good. However, when powerful non-elected officials can use old water rights and economic intimidation to demand "cooperation" from Colorado's leaders, the entire process becomes suspect. Although it takes great political courage to challenge the Denver idater Department, Colorado's leaders and media should insist on a fair comparison of all viable options befcre the Corps dutifully issues a permit that further solidifies the relentless momentum of Two Forks. ti~ith Colorado's current slow growth, we certainly have the time to prevent water development paralysis and a disastrous environmental blunder. If the critical permit is issued, the ensuing state and national environmental battle will surely grow into one of the most destructive and devisive issues in Colorado's history. Allen D.

If you stop, one of them will fall- and then the whole class will topple over." Jamie headed for the bottom of the slope, the children following one by one. But when Vanessa's turn came, she didn't move. "I can't," she said, breaking into tears. "You can do it, sweetie," Jamie called up to her. "You wouldn't be out here if [didn't know.you could do it." Finally, and very tentatively, Vanessa began to slide off her mark. She made it all the way down, pretty much in a straight line, fell for a stop, and burst into tears again. Jamie swooped her up with a fortifying hug, but she wasn't easily consoled. She looked at me and said, "Can we go home now, Dad'?" I suggested that she'd ski better if I weren't hanging around to watch, so I'd see her at the end of the day. I told her she'd been doing well and shouldn't be discouraged by just one run. "She'll be fine," Jamie said. Sure. By now I could almost taste the memories of my own learning horrors: the empty dread, the sheer terror, the cracked ankle that ended my very first day. I skied off with a show of confidence to mask my anxiety, but I was early getting down to the school in the afternoon, and uncertain of what to expect. "Dad," Vanessa yelled as her class trooped in, skis across their chests. "Do you know what we skied'? We skied Born Free, Dad. That's a blue run!" HAT'S CHILDREN'S SKI INSTRUCTION at its best. Tcn years ago, there wasn't any best. Kids were usually taught by the worst instructors in any ski school. They were baby-sitters who perhaps taught a little snowplow technique. Then good skis and boots for children became available, an in- creasing number of resorts began to realize that family skiing could be good business, and better .instruction became a must. At Vail today, the children's instructors aren't castoffs incapable of handling adults. They get the job because they request it, and. most of them have had other experience working with children. "We can teach them to ski, if need be, but we can't teach people how to get along with children-how to be patient, imaginative, and flexible; how to have a sense of fun," says Alexander MacKellar, senior super- visor of the children's program at Lionshead in Vail. The qualities MacKellar listed are the basics for any good teacher of children, and not surprising- ly, most children's instructors in Vail ~ have school-teaching experience. 1 reCalle At Beaver Creek, Vail's sister mountain, John Alderson teaches chit- learning dren to ski and has gained national rec- the emF ognition for training their instructors as well. "Set 'cm up for success,.. he the Shef says. "Continually reinforce their the crae sense of accomplishment; get as many , `I cans' as possible. If we go down a ,that enC one-foot incline, I'm out there cheer- leading. When we actually ski a hill on my very a trail, I always have everyone stop at the bottom and look up: `Can you believe ~ that? We actually skied that giant!' "Look at the world from the perspec- ~ - tive of the children," he tells new teach- ers. "Think like them. It's a myth that they aren't scared. They can be very ~ i'&, scared, and cold, too." ~ Most children learn to ski visually: They watch their teacher, and mimic. "•~~ -. "~ Jamie Stein and the other instructors ' don't stand around explaining theory; instead, they show beginners the wedge or snowplow position-ski ' tips almost touching, heels pushing out-and start them down a gentle slope so they get the feel of what the skis are doing for them. Verbal instruction is done in the kids' own language. Children are urged to "stand tall as a giraffe" to counter their tendency to Ican forward or sit back instead of cen- tering their .weight over their skis. There's no talk of "paral- lel" skiing; instead, Jamie tells them to finish their turns with ~ their skis pointing across the hill in a "number 1 1 "position, "like french fries sticking up in a basket." Games are everywhere. - Vanessa's class ran the Snake, a run through banked tams that teaches students to react quickly; Vanessa's sister, five-year-old Zce, learned exercises for control and stopping in terms of the game "red light, green light," with her instructor serving as the policeman. Frequent breaks keep the teaming from becoming burden- some. Zoe and her class enjoyed the tepee village, where they heard tales of Colorado's Indians; Vanessa's class skied clear across the mountain down blue and green trails to Fort Whip- persnapper, achildren's area that features Dragon's Breath, a tougher version of the Snake. It was all a great adventure over trails they hadn't skied before-and light-years removed from the old days of boring, talky classes in some barely sloped yard where no one ever got beyond the basic snowplow. m OWn Watching Vanessa and Zoe progress, y I was also struck by the contrast with horrors: adult beginners. The children teamed by dread doing, while the adults seemed to stand ry ~ about forever reviewing theory. They r terror, were clearly afraid, for example, even on baby slopes, of not being able to stop, red ankle so they would talk at length about how to ed do it. At day's end they would speak earnestly of exactly what they would first day work on tomorrow.

And they are wonderfully resilient. Throughout our week in Vail, Vanessa and Zoe grew increasingly insistent that we all ski together, and so on our sixth day we began by skiing all over the practice area. Zoe, to my surprise, kept right up with us, sliding into turns more or less where Vanessa and [did, and balancing herself nicely even when her skis slipped out of the wedge. But Vanessa finally grew bored with the easy stuff; she wanted a real run. Putting Zoe back in class, we headed for Simba, a blue (intermediate) run I thought would be easiest. t was tense; for all her progress, this would be Vanessa's first time on a real trail without her instructor and her classmates. ~ ~, ~~ ~- ' * ~ y , 5 - I began by traversing all ~"'`' the way across the trail and back; recalling Jamie's technique, I kept moving until we were down the first face, where the trail leveled off. Vanessa stayed in my ;path, turning where I did. Sliding up beside me, she a>ked, "Why'd you stop, Dad?" Some of the faces were steep, covered with baby moguls. All around us adult beginners were fighting the mountain, heaving themselves about, weight on the wrong ski, tum- bling and moaning. We skied around them, Vanessa never once falling. She was solidly over her skis, hands and poles up and out front. She was in complete control and even, to my amazement, beginning to make parallel turns. Later, we ran into Jamie and the rest of the class. Vanessa boasted of our trip down Simba. Not to be outdone, a little boy retorted, "This afternoon, we're going to ski Simba." Vanessa wouldn't be outdone either. "This afternoon," she said, "we're probably going to ski bfackr." p i~.R ' DECEMREiR 19NR 105 ~.CD NOU 2 5 19~~ November 23, 1988 Mr. Peter Patten Planning Director Town of Vail Vail, CO 81658 Dear Mr. Patten: This letter is to protest the proposed expansion of the Vail Hospital on West Meadow Drive and the construction of a 55,000 square foot parking garage. 1. Traffic on West Meadow Drive where we live is already creating a major hazard to pedestrians who naturally like to stroll on the board roadway. All we need is more ambulances and sirens to add to the excitement. 2. Recent newspapers and periodicals are filled with stories about the glut of empty hospital beds, and the closing of medical facilities in small rural towns. Has the need for more hospital beds in Vail really been proven? Why should everyone from the region need to drive all the way to Vail. Why not a branch facility in another town in Eagle or Summit County? 3. At a recent meeting it was suggested that Vail hospital could become the Mayo Clinic of the Rockies. I suggest that expansion of the hospital could further erode our swiss village atmosphere by becoming the Denver General Hospital of Vail. The original clinic was designed to assist the full-time residents of Vail and treat the injuries of our visiting skiers. It does the job admirably. Do we really need a research center or is this just item #1 on someone's "medical wish list"? Let's stop this project before it gets out of control.

It really touched home for me and I think it is about time someone addressed this issue that concerns us all. "Summer of 1988. The drowning of Bangladesh and the Sudan.

Everyone in this town is so worried about water rights and the impact it has on our environment but that is only .the tip of the iceberg.

We should be aware of all products that are made with pollutants. VJhy not start right here in our own backyards? Where is our integrity and sense of responsibility? The time to do it is now.

Robertson BY ANDRECAROTHERS SUMMER isss. The drowning of Bangladesh and the Sudan. The seal plague and dolphin die-off. The North American drought. The rainforest and the American West in flames. Thy poisoning of:the ocean. Never before, it seems, have circumstances combined to bring home to the human race how fouled our planet has become. Even for the so-called environmentalists, those few who have taken on the responsibil- ity to monitor the decline, the summer of 1988 was a shock, .too horrifying even to elicit the selfish, if understandable, satisfac- lion that comes from being proven correct. Even though we knew it was coming, we can't help but feel caught unaware, as if the cur- tainwas raised too soon on a play rehearsed a hundred times. After urging the mass media to pay atten- tion to~the issue, we find that they finally have, with the enthusiasm of the converted. Having felt like Cassandras, or voices in the wilderness, we suddenly find ourselves besieged with demands for information, guid- ance and answers. The public's concern for the environment is all at once greater by several orders of magnitude than it has ever been. And this interest, for the first time, cuts across nearly all classes and categories of citizen. Contrary to what we expected, the experi- ence ishumbling, even frightening. We cover this ground often, yet it suddenly seems per- versely. unfamiliar. We have reached that infamous moment when the public service announcement is finally reversed: this is not a test; this is a real emergency. The saving graces, if they can be called that, are few but significant. The first is this: with the close of the heartbreak summer, we can and will call an end tc the era of monitor- ing and analysis as ends in themselves. To propose "further study" against the backdrop of the last few months carries the whiff of obstructionism. Where once the counting of PCB molecules in the water had the appear- ance of progress, ending their release must now become the minimum. The completion of a new study on acid rain was once thought to be an accomplishment. Now it will appear an obfuscation. The scientists ana environ- mentalists now can make policy recommenda- tions based on what they know is happening to the planet around them, not on what will ensure their longevity in the field. The second is this: with environmental disasters on the front page, it will no longer be rare or seem improper to name names. The mass media, for all its faults, likes to go where technical journals dare not. The corpo= rations, the governments and the interna- tional bodies that hide behind analysis, evasion and obstruction will be called to task. The opportunity exists for the environmen- tal community to attach specific ecological crimes to specific wrongdoers, or to the wrong technological choices, and draw the connec- tions between economic activities and their implications for the planet. And we will be heard. It is a rare moment. It is also a time when the traditional call for action on the part of individuals can be made with fresh urgency but with a new twist. For too long, it has been the custom to evoke the responsibility of the individual in society to solve problems of the kind that manifested themselves this summer. Rene Dubos, who coined the phrase "think glob- ally, act locally," might find that its meaning had been twisted, or at least extended beyond reason; as if it were possible, given the global riature of the crisis and the Hobson's choice that is life in society, to solve the problems of the world by tidying up one little corner of it. In fact, many of the problems are struc- tural. As one Indian-born environmentalist noted, even the most conspicuously consump- tiveNorth American would find it impossible to generate a fraction of the trash in India that he or she can here. The option is simply not available. And many problems, such as global limits on marine and atmospheric pollutants, are most quickly and efficiently solved at the level of international agreements and forums. Laying the world's environmental woes at the feet of the individual suggests that gov ernment is incompetent, which may be true; or not culpable, which is certainly not true. When it was thought to be in their interest, governments throughout history have not hes- itated to issue a call to arms and then provide the leadership, funds and infrastructure nec- essary to make the effort a success. This is what is required today. Time is short. The fight to save the planet demands that we use all the resources available, and the fact that there is a numbing absence of enlightened governmental leadership does not mean we must abandon governmental reform as a means of saving ourselves. Two warnings, and a recommendation. First, beware the incrementalist. Some will want to solve the problem through a simple fine-tuning of the status quo. If the last few months have shown us anything, it is that the problems are larger than the. partial solutions that thus far have gained the most currency. Also, beware the opportunist. In one form, it comes as a politician of no earthly sympa- thy who sees in the public's fears aloes-risk, high-reward opportunity to pay lip service to environmental concerns. Even worse, we will find some, notably the nuclear industry, raising the specter of one environmental crisis-the emissions from coal-fired power plants-to lay the groundwork for another- the proliferation of centralized, accident- prone, waste-producing nuclear power plants. Now, to action. The precursors to a healthy planet are few and simple. We must end the production and dissemination of harmful sub- stances, halt the destruction of natural eco- systems, and begin recycling and reusing all materials made of nonrenewable substances. We in the developed world can begin by taking to heart the notion that commerce is not a benign activity. Spending money is potentially a constructive or destructive act- each dollar, franc or pound that changes hands will either serve or hinder progress toward a healthy planet. At the same time, we must also demand intelligent leadership and enlightened national and international policy choices. For exam- ple, it should be a goal for every community to develop within a few years a comprehen- sive recycling program for paper, glass and metals. We'll sort out the refuse, and govern- ment officials will sort out the transportation and recycling problems. That's why we pay taxes. It should be the goal of government to dramatically increase the efficiency standards for all motor vehicles and anything that con- sumes oil or electricity. Meanwhile, we will buy our products, light and heat our homes and transport ourselves with our eyes open. It should be the goal of industry to cut almost completely the production of persistent, bioaccumulative toxic substances. To help, we will stay away from products that involve these pollutants. And resources devoted to the military must be diverted to fund these and other efforts, such as mass transporta- tion systems. For this and all the above goals, we must pressure, vote, demonstrate, write letters and educate. This past summer can be the catalyst for real change, because it showed just how much real change is needed. We can now stridently demand from ourselves and others, includ- ingcorporations and governments, what must quickly become a minimum requirement for citizenship today: conscious attention to how our actions affect the ecological integrity of the planet and how we can reverse the dam- age already done. 0 4GREENPEACE NCNEMBER/DECEMBER 1988 NOV 2'~ '88 1©~41 HERTZ CORPORATION W////anl J.

Williams, who wrote the award-winning scores for "E.T.," "Star Wars," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and "Jaws," accepted a personal invitation in 1987 from former President Gerald R: Ford to compose a fanfare for the world Championships, set for January 29-February 12, 1989 at Vail and Beaver Creek Resort. Williams was first contacted by Vail artist and childhood friend Joan Norris. Following the personal invitation from Ford, Williams responded in October 1987: "Your suggestion that I compose a celebratory fanfare for the 1989 world Alpine Ski Championships is a thrilling idea and I am delighted to accept your invitation with gratitude and enthusiasm." The final sheet music for the World Championships fanfare was received in Vail in early October. At that time another Vail resident, Dave Warble, entered the picture. Warble, musical director and conductor of the Disneyland Band and Orchestra as well as the California Wind Orchestra, overheard a conversation between Kevin Payne and Ceil Folz-O'Brien of the World Championships Ceremonies Committee as to how to get the piece recorded. Warble agreed to look at the sheet music and subsequently arranged a recording session for the piece at the Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver. The official world Championships Fanfare was finally recorded on October 26 by the Colorado Symphonic Brass. The 18-instrument brass choir included members of the Denver Symphony Orchestra as well as other concert musicians from the Denver area. The World Championships fanfare will be played in its entirety at the event's Opening Ceremonies on the evening of January 29 as well as throughout the event at various occasions such as awards presentations and Closing Ceremonies. "I can't tell you what this means to everyone involved with the event," said Bob Knous, president of the World Championships Organizing Committee.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Kent: The Vail Alpine Garden would like to be considered as a recipient of funds from the Vail Real Estate Transfer Tax. Discussion during budget hearings indicated that we would qualify for these funds. I am enclosing our financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1988 to add to our initial proposal. Ron Phillips has told me that individual council members have concerns the relationship of Marty Jones to the Vail Alpine Garden. I would like to address those concerns, as I understand them, in this letter to you. The original concept of an alpine garden in Vail was Marty's, and he interested a number of long-time residents in his idea (the Dobsons, Simontons, Meyers, and Scotts, among others). Marty had the horticultural knowledge and the design and construction experience that was needed for the project,. but not the organization. or the money. When the Vail Alpine. Garden was formed as an organization to develop the garden, Marty was named Garden Director, to serve under the direction of the board, but. not as a board member. The board recognized that it probably would employ hi~n in tr'se future and did not want to create a conflict of interest on his part. Marty has been employed by the board for actual design and construction work (and may be employed in the future), but most of the time he, too, has been a volunteer, leading wildflower tours, presenting workshops, training volunteers, and planning the garden. Marty owns a garden center, Colorado Alpines. While his business will certainly benefit from an increased interest in alpine and perennial plants, other vendors in the Rocky Mountain region will also benefit. In the meantime, Colorado Alpines has passed on many benefits to the Vail Alpine Garden. and enabled us to get more garden for our money. Plants and materials for the garden have been purchased at wholesale cost through Colorado Alpines, for example. The only direct benefit Marty has received has been payment for his labor on design and construction. 183 GORE CREEK DRIVE VAIL, COLORADO 81657 303-476-0103 Mr. Kent Rose - November 12, 1988 - Page 2 Board members of the Vail Alpine Garden are in a position to evaluate Marty's work and our costs. Andrew Pierce is Assistant Director of the Denver Botanic Gardens; Lynda Goldstein owns a landscape consulting business in Denver. From my work with Marty for three years, I personal feel that he has contributed far more to this project than he has gained The responsibility for the Alpine Garden rests with its Board of Directors, a group of dedicated Vail and Denver residents. If there are further concerns on the part of Council Members, I hope tha you will give us the opportunity to address them. The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens are indeed going to be an outstanding asset for Vail, and we wan to develop them with the full cooperation of the community. Sincerely, ~GC~C Helen S.

To Reconsider a debatable question [§ 27]. The distinction between debate and making sugges- t tions or asking a question should always be kept in view, and, when the latter will assist the assembly in determining the question, is allowed, to a limited extent, even though the question before the assembly is un- debatable. Nozz ox UxoseeT~st.t Qursrtorts.-The English common par- liamentary law makes all motions debatable, unless there is a rule ` adopted limiting debate; but every assembly is obliged to re- strict debate upon certain motions. The restrictions to debate prescribed in this section conform to the practice of Congress, where, however, it is very common to allow of brief remarks upon the most undebatable questions, sometimes five or six a "1 members speaking. This, of course, is allowed only when no one objects. By examining the above list it will be found that, while free . ~ debate is allowed upon every principal question [§ 6], it is per- ~~, : milted or prohibited upon other questions in accordance with w' the following principles: (a) Highly privileged questions, as a rule, should not be de- bated, as in that case they could be used to prevent the assembly from coming to a vote on the main question (for instance, if the motion to adjourn were debatable, it could be used [see § II] in a way to greatly hinder business) .High privilege is, as a rule, incompatible with the right'of debate on rite privileged question. '~. (b) A motion that has the effect to suppress a question before '9~, , ~ ~ the assembly, so that it cannot again be taken up that session ~, o i [§ 42), allows of free debate; and a Subsidiary Motion [§ 7, except Commit, which see below), is debatable to just the ~, ` extent that it interferes with the right of the assembly to take y ~sW, up the original question at its pleasure. DEBATE AND DECORUM ~ Illustrations: To "Yndefinitetq Postpone" [§ 24] a question places it out of the power of the assembly to again take it up during that session, and consequently this motion allows of free debate, even involving the whole merits of the original question. To "Postpone to a certain time'" prevents the assembly taking up die question till the specified time, and. therefore allows of limited debate upon the propriety of the poseponement. 'To "Lay on the Table" leaves the question so that the as- sembly can at any time consider it, and therefore should not be, and is not debatable.~ Ta "'Commit" would not be very debatable, according to this rule, but it is an exception, because it is often important that the committee should. know the views of the assembly on the question, and it tiierefgre is not only debatable, but opens to debate the whole question which it is proposed to refer to the committee. 3S. Decorum in Debate [see § 2]. In debate a me ber must confine himself to thg_questilYl~beforesm- ` bl and avoid ersonalities.

'"'"I£"at anytime the chairman rises to state a point of or- der, or give information, or otherwise speak, within his privilege [see § 40], the member. speaking must take his seat till the chairman has been first heard. When called to order, the member must sit down until the question of order is decided. If his rernarks are decided to be improper, he cannot proceed, if any one objects, without the leave of the assembly expressed by a vote, upon which question there shall be no debate. Disorderly words should be taken down by the mem- ber who objects to them, or by the clerk, and then read to the member; if he denies them, the assembly shall decide by a vote whether they are his words or not. >f a member cannot justify the words he used, and will not • See Note xt close of { 19 for abuses of this motion- I i -~Y~. 70 ROBERT'S RULES Of ORDER suitably apologize for using them, it is the duty of the assembly to act in the case. If the disorderly words are of a personal nature, before the assembly proceeds to deliberate upon the case both parties to the personality should retire, it being a general rule that no member should be present in the assembly when any matter relating to himself is under debate. It is not, however, nece:~sary for the member objecting to the words to re- tire unless he is personally involved in the case. If any business has taken place since the member spoke, it is too •late to take notice of any disorderly words he used. During debate, and while the chairman is speaking, or the assembly is engaged in voting, no member is per- mitted to disturb the assembly by whispering, or walk- ing across the $aor, or in any other way. 37. Closing Debate. Debate upon a question is not closed by the chairman rising to put the question, as, until both the affirmative and negative are put, a mem- ber can claim the $oor, and reopen debate [see § 38]. Debate can be closed by the following motions,* which are undebatable [~ 35], and, except to Lay on file Table, shall require atwo-thirdst vote for their adop- tion [§ 39]: (a) An Objection to the Consideration of a Question [§ 15], which is allowable only when the question is first introduced, and if sustained, not only stops debate, but also throws the subject out of the assembly for that session [§ 42]; which latter effect is the one for which it was designed. {b) To Lay on the Table [§ 19], which, if adopted, carries the question to the table, from which it cannot be taken unless a majority favor such action. (c The Previous Question ~§ 20], which, if a pled, cuts off de-bate, an rings le assembly to a vote on the ~ It will be noticed that the first two of these motions only close debate by virtue of their suppressing the Question itself. The circuxnatancee vndez which each of these motions to suppress debate and to aupvreea the quee- tlone should be used, are explained in 5 1 68, 69. t In the U.S. House of Repreeentstlves, when each speaker can occupy the Boor one hour, any of these motions to cut o8 debate can'be adopted by n men majority, bnt Drastically they are not used until after soma debate; Rule 28, 8, H.R., expressly provides that forty minutes, twenty on each side, eha11~ be allowed for debete whenever the previous Question is ordered on a proposition on which there has been no debate, ar when the rulc~v are suspended. In ordinary aoeieties harmony is ao essential that a two-thirds vote should be required to force the asaemb],y to a final vote without allowing free debate [see note to j 897. V07E 71 pending question only, excepting where the pending motion is an amendment or a motion to commit, when it also applies to the question to be amended or com- ~' ~ milted, unless it is demanded only on the amendment or the motion to commit. When it is ordered on an , amendment, or an amendment of an amendment, de- bate is closed and the vote taken on the amendment, when the effect of the previous question is then ex- hausted, and new amendments can be offered and ' debated. { (d) For the assembly to adopt an order (1) limiting ;C debate upon a special subject, either as to the number or length of speeches; or (2) closing debate upon the ?':! subject at a stated time, when all pending questions shall be put to vote without further debate. Either of ' f these two measures may be applied simply to a pending '' amendment, or an amendment thereto; and when this '' is voted upon, the original question is still open to de- z bate and amendment. Art. VI. Vota [§§ 38, 39.7 38. Voting. Whenever from the nature of the question it permits of no modification or debate, the chairman immediately puts it to vote; if the question is debatable, when the chairman thinks the debate has been brought to a close he should inquire if the assembly is ready for the question, and if no one rises he puts the question to vote. There are various forms for putting the ques- tion in use in different parts of the country. The rule in Congress, in the House of Representatives, requires questions to be put as follows: "As many as are in favor [as the question may be] say aye;" and after the aiTirmative voice is e.~cpressed, "As many as are opposed say no." The following form is very common: "It has been moved and seconded that [here state the question]; as many as are in favor of the motion say aye; those opposed no. Or, if the motion is for adoption of a certain resolution,rafter it has been read the chair- man can say, "You have heard the resolution read; those in favor of its adoption will hold up the right hand; those opposed will manifest it by the same sign." These ezamples* are sufficient to show the usual meth- s See § 66 and also the Table of Roles, D. 14, for the forma of stating and putting certain Questions. :,_; , ~'~ ~ l~I- rk_kk: ,f' S ~':<;A .

The Town follows prudent business practices in procurement although this is one area where improvements are ongoing. For example, over the past two years improvements have been made in standardization of common items, bulk purchasing, quantity discounts, redefining contract terms, warranties, etc. The Town does not have true centralized purchasing, that is, where one professional purchasing agent does all of the Town's purchasing. There are arguments for and against centralized procurement of this type, but generally it does not make sense in smaller organizations. We do have specific people, however, who specialize in certain areas of Town procurement as a part of their job. For example, the Fleet Maintenance Supervisor handles all procurement of fleet equipment, vehicles, tires,. fuel and parts. The Public Works Department organizes bulk wholesale purchasing of office supplies and other materials and keeps documentation of price comparisons. Other factors of procurement besides price comparison which are also important are the consideration of service, quality, timeliness of delivery, etc. The Town does not have a policy of always choosing the lowest price as this, although important, is not the sole criteria for effective and efficient procurement. The Town's general purchasing standards are as follows: --Need for purchase is established --Purchase measured against budget allocation --Overriding goal is cost effective purchasing without sacrificing quality --Necessary authorizations are obtained --As appropriate, specifications are prepared, bids or proposals are obtained and quality is tested --Quality is fully considered as well as price in comparing suppliers --Purchases are planned in advance, where possible, to take advantage of savings opportunities November 25, 1988 Town Procurement Procedures Page 2 --All purchases are done through a computerized purchase order process --To ensure delivery in time of need, important purchase orders are followed up --Alternative sources are identified if problems occur with delivery --As appropriate, multi-year purchasing plans are prepared for major and/or recurring purchases (i.e., fleet replacement plan) The Public Works/Transportation Department is by far the Town's major purchaser of all types of materials, supplies, vehicles, equipment, etc. The Department is very well organized in their procurement processes. Public Works has 11 volumes of vendor/supply lists which they use in procurement. I have attached two memos from Public Works, one which identifies their 50 major categories of procurement and one which briefly outlines their procurement process. The Town receives a minimum of three bids on vehicles and equipment purchases. Tires are purchased through state bid. Auto parts are generally purchased locally except for specialty items which are not available locally. We are currently working with and Eagle County vendor on fuel procurement. The Town does not have any procurement policy which identifies local purchasing guidelines, although all the departments give preference to local vendors if all other aspects of that particular purchase are equal or nearly so. Internal Control The financial/budgetary process is also vital to successful procurement. The Town uses these processes effectively, such as the timely payment of bills to ensure vendor satisfaction and that applicable discounts are taken. The Budget Officer also has budgetary control over every purchase in the Town, and he and I review the check disbursements register to ensure the appropriateness of Town expenses. All purchase orders are approved by department heads. cc: Department Heads CRW/rvp town a(uai 75 south frontage road vail, Colorado 81657 {303)476-7000 department of public works/transportation MFM(1RANf111M T0: Vail Town Council FROM: Public Works Department DATE: November 23, 1988 RE: Process for Department Purchasing VAIL 1989 The Public Works/Transportation Department follows the following procedures. when purchasing Department materials/supplies: 1. We first research through our Vendor Files which contains hundreds of vendor catalogs and information .and we then start calling each vendor who lists the specified product for price, quantity and delivery information. tie then make a selection from the gathered information 2. On items like X-mas decorations, we do send out a formal bid request and the order is given to the lowest bidder. Samples are also requested. 3. On many occasions we reference the Municipal Buying Index and go directly to the manufacturer and eliminate the "middle man" which in turn lowers the price of the item. 4. The Public Works/Transportation Department is responsible for the Town Pace Trips. We keep on computer a listing of Pace/Homeclub prices to .compare with supplies locally and from other companies. There are times when Pace prices are more expensive. 5. When we have all the cost data for all the companies, we consult with our supervisors and give them the information and they will give us the authorization to place the order. lowo 75 south frontage road vail, Colorado 81657 (303)476-7000 department of public works/transportation MEMORANDUPI TM J VAIL 1989 T0: Vail Town Council FROM: Public Works Department DATE: November 23, 1988 RE: List of Vendors The following is a list of areas covered in the Public Works/Transportation Vendor File which is used when we are purchasing materials/supplies for the department. 1.
