The motion for approval was made by Jan Strauch and. seconded by Frank Johnson; the motion carried unanimously 5-0. In a deviation from the printed agenda, Steve Shanley representing Vail Associates, gave a brief overview of bicycle paths and a master plan for bicycling that is being organized in conjunction with the Vail Associates summer mountain operation. Steve also suggested VA would participate in funding, perhaps buying copies of our brochure, if their bicycle terrain park could be included on those brochures. Currently, Vail Associates is intending to print a flyer and map of Vail Mountain, including this bicycle terrain park, and to do a promotion in the Denver and Front Range area. He described a relationship with Mike Kloser and how this would be pursued through VA, and also suggested Paul Golden and Dave Morgan as further contacts with VA regarding the summer mountain operations program. REVIEW OF VRA AGREEMENT Item no. 2 on the agenda was a review of the VRA agreement and review criteria with Frank Johnson presenting that background. In regard to the URA agreement, generally the VRA number is to be used as the fulfillment number, although not specifically for special projects. Chris Hanen suggested this agreement was a reflection of customer service to be offered, arbitrary hours of operation, which could be amended in the future, tracking of internal stats and systems through Shenkein and URA's Sylvia Blount, and the political issue of the lodges being represented as well as other retailers to be addressed at a later time. Chris Hanen stated 43,000 pieces of inventory would be mailed, with the breakdown as follows: 3,000 to travel agents 16,000 to Colorado Tourism Board list (flyer, not brochure) 15,000 brochures in Welcoming Booths 4,500 at the sites of Burlington, Fruita, and Trinidad 1,000 per week (approximately) to be dispersed through the Vail Information Booths After discussion of the letter of agreement between the Vail Resort Association and the Vail Valley Marketing Board, it was decided to remove entirely Item no. 4 and in its place to reword Item nos. 2 and 3 in this letter of agreement. Item no. 2 will read as follows: 2. Provide accurate, up-to-date information, reservations, confirmations, and tickets for airline area activities, ground transfers, and accommodations which represent the total Vail Valley and a wide variety of lodging alternatives. 3. Fulfill requests for written information on any of the above with a Vail Valley Marketing Board approved brochure. After discussion, Jan Strauch moved to approve these changes, with Jerry Davis seconding that motion. A vote was taken and the vote passed unanimously 5-0. Additionally, Jan Strauch requested that Charlie Wick provide copies of the last five years of budgets for the Vail Resort Association, with special attention given to fees being paid by lodges and consideration of a percentage of the incremental increase being returned to the Marketing Board for additional brochures. Jerry Davis and Frank Johnson were requested to work out these details with the Vail Resort Association and provide these for the meeting the following week. In the process of working out these details, they were to look at measuring the incremental revenue and adjusting the agreement with URA. REVIEW FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS Item no. 3 on the agenda was to review financial commitments with Eagle County, Arrowhead, Cordillera, and Vail Associates/Beaver Creek. Kevin Payne indicated he would be mailing the marketing plan to Arrowhead this coming week. Kevin indicated Harry Frampton should be the contact in regard to Vail Associates at Beaver Creek, and Kent Myers was to follow up on this. Kevin had also spoken to Bruce Kendall at the Charter, and Jan Strauch requested that all information in regard to these financial commitments be back to him by the meeting on 5/18/89. At this point, there was some concern expressed over the ABC Times report with Emilie Harrison and how it relates to the $60,000 contribution from the Town of Avon. It was decided that members of the Board should attempt to be interviewed by the press to explain Avon's position on the UVMB's discussions. PROMOTIONAL IDEAS Item no. 4 on the agenda was promotional ideas. An approach to two radio stations on the Front Range using a third party endorsement and stirring up some DJ excitement with cash bonuses was discussed. Additionally, by pulling trade materials and pursuing Front Range promos, it was suggested if we buy on their radio stations, they must market as part of the package. Radio station personalities in Vail should be included, fam trips, the Mile High Radio Hero contest was described in conjunction with the Denver Post promo. As a contact, Karen McGinnity with Continental Express was mentioned (780-5366). Jan Strauch is to contact her. The URA is to make arrangements for lodging and so on. -2- CREATIVE DISCUSSION Item no. 5 on the agenda was creative discussion, with Dave Reece leading that discussion. Dave indicated that Carl Kay and Sharon Sherman would head up the discussion for their public relations proposal for the Vail Valley Marketing Board. He also indicated recommendations for boards at Colfax and I-70 needed to be made today in order to have those boards in place by the first week of June. He also suggested besides VA's China Bowl board, that the Vail Ski Rentals board was available. This is located past US 6 and I-70. Carl Kay indicated the proposal being presented to the Marketing Board was for the price of $60,000, taking into consideration Shenkein was extremely budget conscious and result-oriented. Sharon Sherman will be responsible for the day-to-day basis of activities and Carl Kay will be the backup, with assistance from Fred Hobbs, Jane Harding, and Jan Ballard. Criteria for this public relations proposal are listed in their proposal for the Vail Valley Marketing Board, and are as follows. The objectives being: 1. Get as much positive national and Colorado media exposure for Vail Valley during 1989 to help attract vacationers. 2. Begin the groundwork needed to create a base for national positive exposure of Vail Valley for the 1990 summer vacation season. 3. Extend the reach and frequency of the advertising and marketing messages to national markets in an efficient and cost effective manner. During her presentation, Sharon indicated that she had talked with Pat Peeples at Vail Associates in regard to her summer marketing kit and that a possibility exists to combine some of the efforts so that we do not duplicate efforts. In the effort to continue positioning in the public's eye the Vail Valley rather than Vail/Beaver Creek concept, program strategies were introduced with emphasis on local personalities who can help sell our message. Those personalities would be the following: Helen Fritch, Don Simonton, Bud Palmer, Elaine White, Karen Morter, Frank Dahl (the weather prognosticator), someone who could do a flycasting demo on the 16th Street Mall, an expert on wildflowers, a mountain biker, silver citizens, someone who could do Vaii weather checks on Denver weather stations, someone who does an exercise program in Vail using Vail as a backdrop, sculptors, fine artists, someone with the Jimmy Huega Center speaking about its rehab program, Leslie Davies (the hot air balloonist), someone talking about the actual opening day of summer in the Vail area, the opening of the Gondola, the Summer Solstice in Avon, Colorado Crystal, (John Ravinik), Boyer Coffee, a representative from St. Moritz using St. Moritz as a marketing trademark name, Buck Allen and his weddings. Obviously, the idea being marketing the Vail Valley through use of distinct personalities, matching the idea to the media that would embrace it best. As Sharon went through the public relations proposal, a number of ideas were explored and all members of the Board were encouraged to think of members of the community and names of people who could be used as contacts. There was some discussion of creating new special events and orchestrating these through our Chamber with goals and objectives to be received through Shenkein. However, in pursuing a variety of ideas including promos through the Disney channel and the kites special event, it was decided that for the time being this Board is most interested in enhancing special events that are already organized through the Vail Valley. In this initial year of the promo, we should emphasize current events that we have the organization with which to proceed in the Vail Valley, rather than originating new special events in the Vail Valley. Other names to be contacted would be Deborah Milo with the Colorado Tourism Board and Craig Atchal of the CNN -3- Travel show, Steve McCormick, Buck Elliott, the Outward Bound School, Incentive Travel through Jim Eisenbeis, the Mile High View (calendar newsletter type of informational source). At the conclusion of her presentation of this basic document, i.e., the public relations proposal for the Vail Valley Marketing Board, Sharon discussed which events were really "do-able" events and it was discussed that budget estimates will be prepared for each of the events and signed off on by this Board before those projects are started. Tom Britz moved to approve a budget not to exceed $60,000 and to be supported by documentation for each line item, project by project; Jerry Davis seconded this motion. A vote was taken and the motion carried unanimously 5-0. Questions to eventually be resolved came from Jan Strauch with the focus on events we currently have happening in Vail and judging the. value of each event, Jerry Davis requesting clarification and further study on the column inch question, and Kevin Payne suggesting that $2,000 is not enough for the photography product. At this point, it was suggested that a smile school or public relations class be implemented for summer. ' FOCUS GROUPS The next item of business was in regard to focus groups with the timetable being contingent on two items: 1. Is June 7 the absolute starting date? 2. Do we use research alternative campaign approaches? The timetable suggested is for focus group testing to be evaluated through Friday, May 26, with a recommendation possible to this Board by Monday, May 29. A focus group handout was then reviewed by the Marketing Board. These groups will be conducted at 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. on May 25, 1989, in Denver, with three main veins being pursued: 1. The World Class international grouping. 2. The total escape/the ultimate escape, i.e., there is nothing like it anywhere. 3. Get away from it all ... sort of. Following discussion, Tom Britz moved to approve a proposal not to exceed $6,000, and this was seconded by Jerry Davis. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 5-0. BILLBOARD The next item of business was the billboard with George Grevin making that presentation. Seven ideas for billboards were presented: 1. You should see it when the flakes are gone. 2. Vail Valley - where the world comes to play. 3. Wake up in a different world. 4. Wilkommen - Summer in Vail. 90 miles ahead. -4- 5. Reduced speed zone. 90 miles ahead. 6. Highway to heaven. (The question: Is this a copyrighted idea?) 7. Apres Ski Summer in Vail Valley. Even better than winter. After discussion, the following idea was put together for the billboard to be first used. Summer Vail Valley. Where the world comes to play. 90 miles ahead. This billboard will show a picture of the Clocktower looking east on Gore Creek at the Gore Range. A motion was made by Jerry Davis to approve this idea, with a second coming from Tom Britz. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 5-O. Because of another meeting that had been called for the Town of Avon Marketing Research Committee, no further business was conducted by this Committee. Therefore to No. 6 on the agenda, Committee Reports, and No. 7, Other Business, there were no comments. There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 11:15 a.m. Second S~~ ~ Date -5- REVISED CRITERIA "CALL TO ACTION" RESPONSE MECHANISM - 5/11/89 1. Answer all calls within 4 rings and provide enough staffing to reduce hold time to 3 minutes or less. 2. Provide accurate, up-to-date information, reservations, confirmations, and tickets for airline area activities, ground transfers, and accommodations which represent the total Vail Valley and a wide variety of lodging alternatives. 3. Fulfill requests for written information on any of the above with a Vail Valley Marketing Board approved brochure. 4. Be operational by June 1, 1989, open 7 days per week and staffed from 7-6 weekdays and 8-5 weekends (hours may vary after demand studies). 5. Be capable of tracking and reporting (monthly) both internal statistics (hold time, average length of call, etc.) as well as geographic origins, reason for call (info. booking, etc.). 6. Fulfill travel agents and group sales requests as well as general consumer. 7. Provide staffing, equipment and overhead expenses at no cost to marketing board. If all of the above criteria can be satisfied, we should only then consider a reimbursement to the marketing fund based on number of reservations taken. 44 FOR Il~+lIDTATF.

Reilly, Administrator I~lvironmental Protection Agency 401 M Street S. ~~. ~~ashington, D. C. 20460 Dear Mr. Reilly: Although the enclosed Denver Post article is very brief and somewhat misleading, it does highlight the fact that Metro Denver, state, and Gunnison interests are vigorously pursuing the beneficial use of surplus water from the untapped Gunnison Basin. The Metre Denver ITS is not a valid decision document, because the Corps improperly screened the Gunnison from detailed consideration to protect Denver's outmoded Two forks concept from a superior water source. Arapahoe County's advanced Union Park Reservoir and Siphon from the Gunnison is certain to be the successor to the vetoed Two Forks project. The Corps' comp~~ter analysis has recently confirmed that by pumping an average 80,000 acre feet of surplus Gunnison flood waters into the massive, high altitude, off river, sage covered, Union Park Reservoir site, the drought yield of Denver's existing reservoirs can be increased by 140,000 acre feet. Because of this unprecedented multiplier effect, Union Park's safe yield is 40% more than Two Forks for about half the unit cost. Union Park will also unify the state by enhancing its environment, agriculture, and tourist economies. Tnis unique project is specifically designed to provide much needed drought protection for Co_lorado's major river basins on both slopes. The City of Thornton's ongoing City - Iarm Recycling Project is another environmentally sound crater project that was improperly ignored by the Corps to protect Two Forks. This innovative use of irrigation water will economically increase Northern Metro Denver water supplies bl• 60,000 acre feet. Northern Colorado farming will be fully protected with the 100°/ return of treated affluent to the same irrigation ditches. The beneficial tzse of Gunnison and .recycled irrigation water will save the nationally treas»red South Platte Canyon and stop the destructive dewatering of the over~ao.rked Upper Colorado Basin. IsPA's farsighted veto of Two Forks will open the door to a .rational consensus for balanced Colorado water development. Sincerely, Allen D. (Dave) Miller President ADM/bm Encl: Denver Post article dated May 16, 1989. cc: Mr. Lee A. DeHihns, Colorado Congressional Delegates and Legislators, local state, and federal officials. Tuesday, May 16, 1989 THE DENVER P(%T tan® ver ovate Nest Slope, suburbs study compromise ®y BIII AAcBean Denver Post Stall Writer The five-,year stando[f between thirsty Denver suburbs and West Stope water interests over Gunni- son River water soon may end, thanks to a compromise suggested In a recent study. The study, managed by the Colo- rado Water Resources and Power Development Authority, is signi[i- cant because it balances West Slope recreation and irrigation needs with the need o[ metro com- munities to develop new sources of drinking water. For five years, Arapahoe County and Aurora have fought over the rights to about 70,000 acre-feet of unappropriated Gunnison River water. . West Slope water owners have been girding [or a prolonged battle with both governments, fearing re- anoval of Gunnison water would deflate the water-based recreation industry, hurt the environment and damage agriculture. .The authority's report suggests Wrapah~ County and Aurora use the existing Taylor Park Reservoir northeast of Gunnison instead o[ .... • ' Taybr River • .. , ~ .

Using an extended system of tunnels and pipelines to get the water over fire mountains, Taylor Park Reservoir could supply about 42,000 acre-feet a year to subur- ban communities. If an option to pump water out of Blue Mesa Reservoir to Taylor Park reservoir was added, the yield might be 100,000 acre-feet. The price tag: $531 million. The report recommends subur- ban governments buy senior water rights now stored in Taylor Park instead of trying to prove in Water Court that some Gunnison River water isn't being used. Revenues [rom those water sales could be used to build two West Slope reservoirs to enhance crop irrigation and bolster the re- gion's recreation-based economy. Tom Griswold, Aurora utilities director, said he's considering the The Denver Post /Bruce Geut plan as an alternative to the Colle- giate Range project, a $340 mil- lion transmountain diversion that would require building two new reservoirs. "There needs fo be a solution over there that benefits the (Gun- nison) basin," Griswold Bald. "That study, at least, points out some op- portunities to do that." Dick Bratton, attorney for the Upper Gunnison River Water Con- servancy District, agreed. The study, he said, "has the potential for a unique kind of partnership." But Andy Andrews, an engineer for Arapahoe County and Gunni- son, was critical of the plan. The study on which the plan is based said the transmountain di- version favored by Gunnison and Arapahoe -the Union Park proj- ect - would cost roughly :200 million more than Andrews' cur- rent estimate of $446 million. ,~~•, Pia r~~ iJ~^~ ~ er To ~:_ _ , t ~. . Saturday, May 13, 1989 THE DE'~fVFJt POST ~ -- Wat~~° e~at~~n ~ stir lv~d in the forrnLala for ~~.orada9s future RILE THE economic recession of the mid-198G5 hit Colorado es- peciallybard, there are signs that our sate is on the move again. Denver is building a nex• convention center that will attract visitors from across the country. I have ao doubt that many of these visitors will travel outside Denver to enjoy our std slopes, richrng streams and campgrounds - and their vuiu will stimulate our enure s'ate's recreation economy. Last year, Adams Count}- voters ap• proved construction of a new aupor in partnership with Denver. I am com•iriced that the new aitpori will have a major positive impact on the metropolitan area, Colorado and the Rockc Mountain region. The progress on the convention center and a nex• airport l good news, not just for the Denver metropolitan area, but for the whole state. These and other actions, rich as the maintenance of a solid trans- portation infrastructure and a tirst-rate educational system, will be the founda- tions for strong economic groxlh in Colo- rado well into the neat century. One challenge remains to be addressed, and that is the development of an ade• ware supple of water to meet the needs of the metropolitan area's growing coin- munities. Flom my own experience with the Foothills project -where we ulti- mately were able to develop a solution that ended not only a long political 4ebate but also several Iawstiiu - I ]tttox how difficult these issues can be. Neverthe- lt~s, I have always believed'ihat we can find a way to meet the water demands of our grox'ing Front Range communities by r~ W IR'I'H that the entire state could support. The Foothills Agreement l a good ex- ample of cooperation in drafting a plan for meeting the Front Range's water de- mand. In 1979, conservationists, the Den- ver Water Board and the federal govern- ment were locked in litigation over Denver's plans to build the Strontia Springs Dam and the Foothills treatment plant. The parties asked far my help in working out a settlement and after long and difficult negotiations, we were able to reach a compromise that all parties agreed x~as fair and reasonable. That agreement permitted the Denver Rater Board to construct the Strontia Springs Dam as well as the Foothills rater treat- ment plant, which have proved to be vital pa.-ts of the Denver water supply s•stem. The agreement alo included a yen im- portant commitment to conservttig water throughout the Denver sennce area - in- cluding specific conservation goal to be met by specific dates. if fully implement- ed, that agreement could save Denver as much as 8D.000 acre-feet of water per year, or about the same amount of rater as would be }gelded by Two Forks. Those conservation commitmenu were agreed to by the Denvez X'ater Board in t~turn for agreement by vanous groups to drop lawsuiu related to Foothills and in return for pe:•miu from various federal agencies. There was no doubt that all paz- ties expected Denver to live up to the commitmenu the city made and it was certainly my understanding that the Den- ver Rater Board would move expeditious- ly to complete iu side of the deal. Late last yeaz, conservationists (many of whom had participated in the Foothills negotiations) wTOte to me and alleged that the conservation stipulations the Corps of Engineers was considering for a Two Forks permit would fall short of the pre-existing water conservation require- menu estabhshed by the Foothills agree- ment. Specifically, the conservalionisu argued that per capita x•ater use in the Denver service area is increasing rather than decreasing, despite the conservation commitmenu made be the Denver Rater Board in the Foothills agreement. The conservationiss alo stated that, over time, Denver could make available sub• siantial quantities of water for metropoli- tan use if the Foothills conservation com- mitment were full}- implemented. I forwarded the consen•atiordsts' letter to the Corps of Engineers and asked that agency to evaluate the consen•atiorusts' contentlons. While the Corps did not fully respond ir. writing, they did confu-m one of the conservationists' principal con- cerns: per-capita use of water in the Den- ver service area l increasing rather than decreasing. In subsequent conversations, the Corps of Engineers also confirmed that an aggressive water consen•auon program in Denver has the potintial to sigtiificanUy reduce consumption, thereby freeing up water fo: other users. I have not wavered in my commitment to the Foothills agreement. That accord permitted Denver to rapidly complete a dam and water treatment plant, xith only. one condition -good faith compliance x•ith the agreement's conservation pro- gram. That program still l critically im- portant, but iu implementation l uncer- tain. lurged the Cotes of Engineers to include in any permit for the Two Forks project a condition that would assure im• plementation of the conservation goals that all the parties agreed to in order to resolve the Foothill controversc. The Corps has recogNzed the importance and controvers}• surrounding the consen'auon commitmenu. In his record of decision on the Two Forks proposal, Col. Steven West xTOte that "conservation has been made a major issue in the Two Forks permit becatue the Denver 8'ater Board has not implemented conservation in accordance x7th the expectalions of most of the ma- jor interesu. If the Denver Water Board had, much of the criticism that has been generated by this permit apphcation could have been avoided." In reviewing the proposed permit for the Two Forks protect, ]:PA Administra- tor BID Reilly was required to evaluate the perwt conditions proposed by the Corps and to determine whether the pro- posed Tx~o Forks project x•as consistent xith the Clean Water Act's provisions. Ap- pazenUy he has concluded that the Two Forks protect did no: meet Clean Rater Act gwdehnes for issuing petzniu. lr. de- ciding to irtiuate the veto process, Reilly stated that "the proposed aam and reser- voir could result in very serious adverse em-ir•onmental impacu, that the adiniriis• trauve record does notresolve the critical environmental issues raised by this proj- ect and that the proposed permit condi- tions may not provide adequate safe- guards. "I am not convinced," he went on, "that the project as proposed will avoid emrit•onmental harm to the extent practi- cable pr that the proposed permit condi~ lions will minimize or compensate for damage to the [uheries, xtildlite habitat and recreation areas." Reill~•'s decisTOn initiated a new round of consultations and reviews. At this point it is impossible to predict the resulu of that process. But regardless of how that process l resolved, we must begin to heal the deep divisions that have developed x~thin our state during the Two Forks debate. I hold a commitment to strong economic growth in Colorado, and Iknow the impor- tance of providing an adequate supply of water for the metropolitan area. I continue to bebeve that an aggressive, metrropolitan- w~de conservation program must be one foundation of such a water supnh• plan. - But I have always recogmzed that con• servauon alone will not be enough to pro- vide water supplies for the Front Range over the long term. That to why I have stressed the importance of develoronQ a coin renensive tan that inctuges not oNv consen•auon out also a coaswcuon o structural sources of water that hzve broad~pon ir. otir state. am comznc- e' u~tnat such tea rna~uves exist. Tim W,rtn rs Go~oreoo's Oemoam~c U.S Service ' Sunday, May 14,1989 ---_ .--- -- ~_ Tr>E DET~rER Posy . . '~~ E SUPPOSEDLI' live under a government - of laws. But often the most powerful of them is the Law of Unintended Consequences - :.rte prinaple which states that when government sets out to do one thing it often unintentionally- does some- thing gttite different. Now, that law may be about to -reverse 15 years of suburban growth and core city sagnation in the Dem~er area. •.In 1979 Colorado voters approved the Poundstone amendment to the state constitution, thus halting Denver's annexations - largely- because suburban voters feared such annexations would drag them into Denver's court-ordered school busing. The amend- ment stopped Denver County's growth cold -but did nothing to reduce growth pressures in the metropoli- tan area as a whole. Hence it ended up by s'agnating Lenver and supercharging growth in the suburbs. .Now, ir. tie spring of 19E9, two mighty political en- girtes aze charging ahead on parallel traclu. Their combined effect may have the unintended conse• quence of slowing growth in the suburbs and revitaliz- ing the core city of Denver. The first event is Den- ver's decision to build a new ai^pori on 53.5 square miles of land acquired from Adams County last yeaz >n the first~ver voter-approved annexation under.the Poundstone amendment: Ii Denver voters approve .,= , . .,, - , - - - ~O~ that project on Tuesday, they will free the existing 9,700 acres of Stapleton Airport for redevelopment - a huge area alread}• well-served by roads, utilities and other urban services. Of course, just having land available tb serve new industrial, commercial and residential developers doesn't mean the}- will come to Denver. But the sec- ond event -the EPA's veto of the proposed Two Forks Dam -map give them no choice.' In man}- suburban communities, growth-0riented public officials are close to panic. hfan}' believe that without the new water supplies that Two Forks would assure them, they can't promise developers the long- term water supplies the}- need. But Denver can. Even without Two Forks, Denver has adequate supplies of water to take care of its present needs, supply the new airport, and support the redevelopment of Stapleton and other desirable parts of the city. - Of course, if the metropolitan area's future growth is determined by water availabilit}•, the consequences won't be perfect. But they won't be all bad either. Denver and Adams Counq~ have the greatest need for new growth, especially industrial and commercial tax base, because these two counties are carrying b}' far the greatest burdens in supporting the area's hu- man services neeas. With the new airport catalyzing growth in Dem~er and Adams Count}'. Denver has the water to sense that growth. For its part, Adams County, in general, has the most practical alterna- tives to Two Forks - as Thornton's innovative plan to bring in irigation water from northern Colorado has proved. Aurora, which also carries a growing share of the regional burdens, has an independent wa- ter system and some practical - if expensive and controversial -alternatives to Two Forks: That leaves Arapahoe, Jefferson and Douglas counties -affluent suburban enclaves with little need to expand their tax bases and little water to support growth. All three counties have seen citizen rebellions in recent veazs as voters protested against what they perceived as runaway development. While developers view these three counties as the most enticing sites, citizens who live in them general- ly are skeptical toward development. Suburbanites moved to the suburbs to get awa}• from the city- in the first place -and don't want to recreate core-city congestion in their suburban enclaves. Despite many imperfections, the social landscape that would result from letting water availability drive development in metropolitan Denver ma}' prove more desirable to most voters than the present prac- tice of letting the developers play local governments against each other in bidding wars as to who will sup- ply the most intensive and lea5~-regulated develop- ment. The rolls consistenUs• show a maiority of metra~nl- itan voters a autst Two Forks and to favor of the new a on - every com mauon at wo most revs- talize the core cng economics v w e preserving suburban lifestyles. Come to thutk about it, maybe the voters ire smarter than the developers give them credit fc-. And maybe these consequences aren't so unintended after all. 6oD Ewepen is esvaam eGnonei pope eonor of TM Post , 8l1®GE~" PROPOSAk: °~NYTHING GOES° Summer- 1989 Battle Flountain High School Auditorium 8 performagces mid-August 1989 Budget revised April 1, 1989 EXPENSES: Director Plusic Director Choreographer Theatre rental Scripts/Royalties Staff/Design Sets/Costumes Fliscellaneous Promo Production: Posters Programs Tickets DOTAL EXPENSES: INCOFIE: Ticket sales Advertising sales (Sponsorships} $2000.00 $1000.00 $ 750.00 $2500.00 $2000.00 (cap250} ($3000.OOcep500) $ 600.00 $2500.00 $ 500.00 ~ 500.00 $ 150.00 $ 1 100.00 ~ 100.00 $ 13,700.00 $6000.00 $1500.00 ($1500.00} T®TAL B~iCOME: PROJECTE® SFIORTEAkk: $ 7500.00 $6200.00
