Other MEMORANDUM T0: Mayor Rose Vail Town Council FROM: Charles Wick DATE: July 21, 1989 SUBJECT: Vail Mountain Select Rugby Team: Doug Bitteto The Vail Valley Marketing Board, at their weekly meeting on July 20, gave their unanimous endorsement of support to the Vail Mountain Select Rugby Team for their Vail ambassadorship and participation in an International Rugby Tournament in Monte Carlo, Monaco, this August. This Tournament, as presented to the Board, is the "Super Bowl" of rugby, and is the first time a U.S: team has been represented. Vail is the only U.S. team asked to play in this Tournament via the direct invitation of Prince Albert. This invitation is a direct result of Prince Albert's contact with Vail at the World Alpine Ski Championships. The Marketing Board, in their motion of support, authorized up to $2,000 of Marketing Board Public Relations funds to be used to assist the team in Vail's marketing efforts, including the development of an international press kit (which was to be done anyway) for the team's use, press training and assistance on logo design. The Marketing Board further endorsed the team's efforts to raise the additional $12,000 needed to pay for the team's travel expenses from any local, regional, and state sources, including the Town of Vail. It was the Board's understanding that the Vail team will receive a lot of international press because of the uniqueness of having a U.S. team in this Tournament and the personal invitation by Prince Albert. It was for these reasons and the fact that Vail needs to capitalize on contacts made during the World Championships which help to secure our reputation internationally for which the Board gave their strong endorsement.

Box 850 Eagle, Colorado 81631 RE: Eagle County Airport Improvements Dear Dick: The Vail Town Council unanimously supports the proposed improvements of runway widening and lengthening at the Eagle County Airport. We feel these improvements will do much to add to the economic viability of Eagle County and allow for increased accessibility to our mountain county. This increased accessibility will certainly have a positive impact on the business climate of this area. The Vail Town Council strongly supports the County efforts in increasing the service capacity of the airport and commends the Board of County Commissioners for your leadership in this regard.

BRIDGE FROM EXISTING STREAMWALK BEHIND THE WREN TO MANOR VAIL Delete all references to this.

Armstrong f-fart Building, 528 Washington, D. C. 20510 Dear Senator Armstrong: Your national drive to save Denver's controversial Two Forks Dam is not in step with the Bush Administration's valiant effort to balance environmental protection with economic development. Two Forks is Yx>inq vetoed by EPA largely because the environmental studies were improperly influenced to protect an obsolete concept from a fair comparison with several environmentally advanced alternatives. These ongoing alternatives include Arapahoe County's high altitude, off-river, Union Parlc Reservoir from the untapped Gunnison Basin; and City of Thornton's innovative City-Farm Recycling project. Your recent nationwide statement: "If you can't build this Two Forks project, you can't build any project anywhere," is a threatening rationale that will surely backfire against any politician who uses it. Analysis will show Denver's record $40 million for Two Forks permitting was mostly for unprecedented duplicate studies, and legal maneuvering to influence agency heads into overriding the work of their career professionals. In fact, Senator Exon of Nebraska is gathering firsthand evidence showing widespread intimidation of agency staffers tYlroughout the Two For}cs permitting process. Instead of using the unfortunate Two Forks experienr_e as a blanket threat against all good and bad water projects, respectfully suggest you push for enforcement of our national environmental laws that require detailed comparison of all viable alternatives. To do otherwise would be a serious breach of faith with future generations. Sincerely, ' ~~~~^~`~ Dave Miller ADM/bm P. S. This letter has been coordinated with Senator Exon's office. cc: President Bush, U.S. Congressmembers, EPA, CO. Legislators, Gov. Romer.

APP~7VAL OF P~ffie Wilson made a motion to approve the June 26, 1989 minutes, second by Lapin, unanimous. SP,TCEi ° S P~~L: R.ick Sackbauer joins the meeting. Dodson showed the Board a drawing of how Satch's restaurant proposes to use the cart storage area during the winter months. Sackbauer is asking for the Boarr~'s permission to continue researching the feasibility of expanding the dirmer/sleigh ride services into the cart barn. Sackbauer stated Batch's restaurant wants to expand to the cart barn to offer a total experience to the sleigh ride and dinner guest. He feels VA is going to eventually offer a sleigh ride on Vail Mountain to the Far East Shelter and would like to stay a step ahead by offering a dinner/sleigh ride at the Golf Course. The decor in the cart area would be a "barn atrnosphere", tack, oats, hay, etc. The design would be such it could easily be taken down prior to the golf season. George Knox arrives 3<15 PM The Board asked where the carts would be stored? Sackbauer said when the Championship used the cart barn this past winter they used 3 times the space he is requesting and the carts still fit in the barn. The Board feels this is a good idea and gave permission for Sackbauer to research this project further. CUSS CUI]nPt~C SRI ~~ Dodson stated after several discussions with Axel a contract was drafted. Axel then revised the contract and Dodson wants the Board to be aware of these changes and requested their input. Items discussed, added, rejected were as follows: -Contract should in no way interfere with the golf operation. The first day should be 1 week after the golf operation ends and the last day when the ski moLU~tain closes or there is no snow. Hours of operation were 9-5 daily and Axel wants 9-4. -Financial report monthly - Axel wants to provide a financial report at the end of the season. -Utilities - lessee to paY elec., gas and trash -Axel has eliminated -No serving alcohol by lessee due to Batch's restaurant's liquor license -food and beverages is OK. The lease stated he could use the pro shop, Axel wants the pro shop, bag room and possibly the start-er h~-Se• _B~ removal -who is responsible for stairs and roof? If the 'PQV no longer plows the parking lot, who will be responsible? -Cleaning - lavatories, carpet, windows, etc - who is responsible? -New track setting equipment - Da~son wants to put in the contract that VNff2D should receive first riot of refusal on purchasing the new ~ipme,:lt (if Axel goes out of business) on a depreciated value, VMRD should also receive credit for their existing equipment used as trade in to pt:~Se the new equipment. The board agrees to have this put in the contract. 1t'erm of contract: The Board wants a 1 year contract with a right of first refusal. `Ibis will give time to see if the operation will be mutually satisfactory. p, ~y out of the equipment should he go out of business will be added to ~~e. ~ tract •of 3 to5~years d then be willing to do a long Axel offered a percentage rental of 6% of gross, (excluding lessons) after $300,000. DocLson wants Axel to pay rent & utilities before the $300,000 is reached. -Lapin asked if these items could be worked out with the sub committee? Dodson indicated s~ committees should help the board form policies and directions, not negotiate or develop contracts. 'That pr'°cess should remain with the Board. ,fie ~~ ~~ the utilities and cost of the winter operation of the building to be covered by the winter Lessee. VMRD is a sw~ner operation and shuts down in the winter. 'They also want Dodson to meet with Axel and Satoh°s restaurant to work out the details of sharing the expenses of the Clubhouse in the Winter. The remainder of the contract items can be worked out in sub conmtittee . S~iONY OF SFC~Se Ceil Folz joins the meeting. She reviewed the financial sheet with the Board. Ceil goes to Town Council on Tuesday to give this same report. Also by then she should have a scrap book frcatt the marketers which show the statistics on the parts of the country the ads were place and number of viewers. Next years dates have changed. SOS wants to book the Arena from March 12 to 18, 1989. The dates are available at the Arena. Lapin wants a letter drafted to all the local groups which utilize the Arena informing them of the SOS dates when they become firm. He also wants Salasky to find out if the state hockey tournament is during this time frame. Lapin requested S06 be required to put a deposit dawn on the Arena for the March dates. He also wants to be involved in the contract negotiations. Ceil has sent a letter to the local lodges requesting free rooms and has received good response for the March 12-18, 1989 date. The air date of the show is March 30. Holly indicated she can still bring in 25 athletes to Vail on Memorial Icy weeker~i for no additional fee. These clinics would not be aired on the TV. SWAG POOL: Kristin Pritz joir~s the meeting. She stated Morten is proce~iing with the next steps of the pool. Lapin would like a grog trip organized to Water World with the swimming pool sub conunittee, Town Council, Morten and any others involved with the pool. He also wants the demographics on Water World. Z~ISe Bill Pierce joins the meeting. Dodson stat~l the Ford Park tennis courts & building project was estimated to cost $461,000 by Frank Payne. Dodson reviewed his memo which outlines items that could be eliminated ~ ~~ the $400,000 mark. Dodson handed out the construction calendar (see attached). Pierce stated he will approach the sewer district to negotiate for commercial toilets, (larger tap), but request a 3/41° tap fee for the building. The cost of the entire project is estimated to be $461,000 and $214,000 is for the 3841 s.f. building. Lapin wants Dodson to meet with Ron Phillips and review the larx3.scaping VMRD is requesting of the TOV at teh tennis site. Pierce suggest the Boan~ go to bid with the entire project as it is. If it comes in too high, then deducts can be made. This is a better way to Main a bid vs. having nwnernus alternate. The Board wants to proceed with the bidding process. Dodson stated Community Develo~ient can give staff approval on the building and it will not need to go through DRB again. ICS A~ R'EP~~: Tom Salasky joins the meeting. The revenue is up by about $14,000 ahead of budget. There has been good revenue coming in this year from special events -World championship, Symphony of Sports, etc. Made $8,000 on the hockey cai~, $1, 500 on the Lipizzan Horses and the Sw~ner Skating School is so popular the program has been extended for two weeks. Comp pass policy - The sub co~rnnittee did not come up with a proposed policy and is asking the board to set a policy. Comps will be negotiated prior to the signing of all contracts. Tom has no problem accounting for the cans, but feels it is imperative he has flexibility to use camp: in conducting business. IACal programs are growing and as}cii-iq for more ice time. This is conflicting with the special event times. A second ice surface needs to be seriously looked at. Salasky is requesting a consultant do a study which would include topo map, engineering, site plan and schematics either on the east or west side of the arena. The cost of such a study is estimated to be between $3 to $5,000. The board instructed Dodson to spea]c to Patten and Phillips and find out what information the TOV would want in this study. He then should get quotes from independent planners/ architectural firms on their fees for this study. Wilson asked Salaskey to research the logistics and cost of an ice surface at the golf course driving range this winter. Mike Cacioppo stated the LionsHead merchants were resE~arrhing an ice surface in the mall. The Board wants Dodson to find out when the LionsHead merchants meetings are held so further information can be obtained on their plans for an ice surface. GOLF SUB Q'~IITI~E: Dodson gave a recap of the meeting. They recommend going to discount golf approximately September 21. The committee reached no conclusion on the comp policy. .Will meet further on this topic with the DOG. The accounting of the camps will be put on the daily sheet. Wilson wants tournament fee amounts put on the next sub committee agenda. The meeting will be July 18 at 4 PM and Dodson should let Colleen McCarthy know. ~d (additional item): Wallington asked that a sub committee be formed which handles the athletic fields (Ford Park & Athletic Field). The Board approved this request and asked staff to advertised in the newspaper. Wallington asked where the purchase of the land in Edwards stood. Lapin stated the property had been appraised. Vf~D, Zl7V, ZI~A and the county are reviewing the appraisal. The four grra~s will then get together and decide the particulars of a buy out. . Wallington stated he needs a park maintenance crew as he is not getting support from Public Works. Dodson stated it is no better or worse then in past years, he has been requesting a park maintenance crew for years as Public Works is spread too thin. Lapin explained to Wallington how the contract between TOV and VMRD provides for the work to be performed this year through Public Works so a history can be established for next years budget. Next year VMRD can chose to have Public Works or a private entity provide the service. Lapin requested a list of CIP items VMRD is asking the Z'OV for so he knows if an item(s) has been dropped by the time it gets to council. Cacioppo requested rubber mats be purchased to cover the bases, when it rains, at the ball field. The Board wants Bullirigton to put "No U Turn" notices on the cars at the ball field. JQAI~IE P9ATI'IO (additic~al item) Dodson stated Mattio requested a leave of absence. She has 12 weeks of Vacation saved up aril wants an additional 3 weeks. She will be gone August 8 to December 4, 1989. The existing staff will pick up the additional load, some temporary help will be hired and some progz-ams will be put on hold during her absence. The_Board has no problem with the leave of absence. They want to strictly enforce the vacation limit of 8 weeks maxiimmm. Lapin made a motion to change the personnel policy that vacation time must be used in days off ar~i not cashed in, second by Wilson, passed unanimously. CIP (ac~iitional i~)= Dodson handed out a memo to Barwick on the CIPs (see attached). The Board wants to delete the 2 tennis courts and add additional matting at the ice arena of approximately 500 s.f. VI~2D RrPICYd PLAN: Zoe board set a meeting date with Jeff Winston for July 27, 1989 from 9 to 12 noon. Winston sent a questionnaire to the Board which they should cx~mplete prior to the meeting (see attached).

Town Hall Vail, Co. Dear Peter, Art Rleimer Box 2244 Vail, Co. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the leadership and courage that you have shown in the past few weeks regarding the proposed pedestrian paths through the village. It is not easy as a public servant to fight for the vision of the silent majority, a majority which has for years in the master plan and in numerous studies placed pathways as a top priority, when that very same majority does not speak up when the going gets tough. It is also not easy or comfortable or emotionally rewarding to subject oneself to the bitter and personal attacks which have unfortunately been made. All of this is compounded by the lack of support and even opposition from some council members who should be supporting the master plan not attacking it. Despite this i.infriendly climate you have persevered with the vision. A vision of Vail as a people oriented place. A place where people can get in touch with themselves and the outdoors, whether it be be skiing, or walking, or the numerous varied activities which we and our guests so desire. Keep t~p.the good work and the good fight, for these paths and all the other visions of people placing themselves within their environment.not imposing themselves on top of it.

Again, more careful attention to this problem would have been, anc still would be, a meaningful eonsiderat:ion on the part of the Town.

Meadow Dr., on Gore Creek, we wish to state that we are strongly against the proposed foot path along the creek for the following reasons: invasion of privacy, easy access to breaking and entering, reduced value of property and litter. We pay some of the highest taxes in town and as longtime (26 yrs.) residents, we feel we should not have pedes- trians on both the north and south side of our home. Ecologically we think it would be a shame to mart the beauty of the creek. Our neighbors and the residents on the south side of the creek feel as we do, and you can expect a great deal of opposition to the proposed walking path. In closing, why not save the total estimated amount of $160,000 and spend it on more green belt areas; such as, the possible purci~ase of the land vacated by the Conoco station at the four way stop. It certainly would make a hand- some entrance to Vail. First impressions are most important. Sincerely, r.. f~ ~~~~ y ~`/U Z~ ~ r_~i___ n r. ..:.,_.,., r~,,.J,_..

When we chose this unit years ago, a great part of the appeal was the natural creekside setting. Since then, we have seen many changes: construction of bridges and walkways, benches and a low wall nct far from our unit which many people off the street use as seating. Also, the roadway across the International Bridge has been opened to vehicles. We do not object to any of these changes because they allow the public to enjoy this setting without impinging too much on our privacy. However, we strongly oppose the path for the following reasons: 1. This section of the creek is one of the most beautiful and most-photographed spots in Vail. Almost any time we look out our front window, we can see people taking photographs and videos in either direction from one of the two bridges that cross the creek. In fact, it would be valuable to make a count of the number of people doing this on a typical day. Why deface these lovely natural views? The 6-foot path would require retaining walls on the shoreline and gabions in the creek itself. No amount of camouflage will be able to hide all this completely. 2. The path would detract from the city park across the creek. As it. exists now, this is a quiet, peaceful public area. Both sides of the creek are an oasis of grass, flowers, trees and hummingbirds. Do we really want to look at trashcans and asphalt or gravel instead? Many people enjoy wading across the creek to sit in the "green belt" area on our side of the creek. The path would make this area a thoroughfare rather than a peaceful, shady place to pause on a summer day. While we agree with the goal of the planning commission to "bring Vail's natural environment closer to the people," we cannot see how destroying one of the most beautiful areas of this natural environment would meet that goal. 3. There is no way to control the actual usage of the path, Will bicycles be allowed on it? If the path is not surfaced with asphalt, bicycles will create clouds of dust which will blow into our front. windows only a few feet away. If the path is off- limits t.o bicycles, what. is to prevent them from using it anyway? Numerous bicyc]_es already use the path between the Covered Bridge and Ford Park. 4. Our understanding was that the streamside was safe from development because it was "green belt" property. We chose our unit for privacy, and we a.re appalled that the council would take that away. Does the council wish to discourage future buyers (and future taxpayers) from investing their money in expensive village properties that ca.n be so radically changed? 5. We learn now that t]ze Master Plan has only been discussed for the past four years, that just this week it is being presented to the public, and that it is not even approved yet. It seems high time to rethink the "Master Plan." 6. Why must the village be part of a pedestrian pathway running the length of the valley? Vail is the focal point of the valley. Why not let Vail remain the destination of paths from either direction? There are plenty o ways to stroll through the village already, all of them pleasant. Sensitive planning up to now has created a unique village. Shops, restaurants, lodging, recreation facilities, parks, and breathtaking natural sights all exist together within a very small, densely populated area. The path would upset the delicate balance in the village. As we write this letter, we are watching a couple--honeymooners, perhaps?--and another young family with children pose for pictures on the International Bridge. Like countless others, they will go home with this beautiful memory of Vail. They will proudly show this picturE: to family, friends, and co-workers. What makes this view so magical? What better free advertising is there for Vail--especially Summer Vail? We urge each council member to pause the next time he or she crosses the International. Bridge and consider this view as if for the very first time. Then, please ask yourself how you feel about seeing this unspoilE:d view for the last time. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. Sincerely, ( - ~ J~~ ~~ Rodge~ & Claudia Droel •, July 18, 1989 ,~~1L q 8 X989 The Vail Zbwn Council Gentlemen; I have been asked to write. to you as the president of Bishop Park Condominium Association .regarding the proposed stream walk. The owners at Bishop Park are .very opposed to the .idea of a formal walkway I have been a property manager and homeowner of property on the South side or Gore Creek for the last twenty years. We have always maintained the stream tract and never made any attempt to keep anyone from using the stream tract, or for that manor, our private property. ~{7e have .never asked the Town to help clean up the area, or participate .in the land- scaping of the area. We have been informed by our insurance carrier that if a formal path is installed, we shall have •tp install fencing to keep our liability insurance from skyrocketing. I do not think given the constraints on certain areas of the stream tract that fenced areas will enhance owner's or walker's stream expierence. Before we spend $10,000.00 on another study, or much much irore on a path, I think we should try some signs telling people they have every right to walk along the stream. From comments that the other owners at Bishop Park have made, there is little confidence in the Town's ability to maintain and provide security along the proposed tract. Willow Park is a fine example of the 'l'awn's inability to even .keep sod from turning brown. We would all be much happier if the Town took care of what already exists, before they spend ire of our tax money on additional projects. The 'v~illow Circle area in Vail is certainly one of the highest taxed areas in the Town. ~Ve have very fe~v regis- tered voters and from the current discussions .very little representation. ,:.,-.,.

In attempting to impose an artificial path along with the extensive retaining walls etc., the natural beauty of Gore Creek through the village will by necessity be destroyed.

This seems to be in an area very close to existing living units, and further that it would require destroying many trees and other natural growth along the way. It would seem much more logical to build the stream walk on the south side of Gore Creek. I am very much opposed to the path from Bridge Street to Vail Road, especially if built on the north side of Gore Creek. Should the path be built on the north side, I presume that there could well be privacy landscaping and/or fencing that will be constructed as many of the units will lose their privacy. This construction could have the effect of a much more closed look and feel for the area. Very truly yours, ZZK/ljc J `` ~ ~~ Zona,Z~ rei e TODD S. WILSON JU~.. 1 8 ~~~ 855 S.

Because of the close proximity of the proposed pathway between the creek and the condominiums, it would greatly compromise the security for our building and hence, lessen the value of the property. Also, has anyone addressed them- selves to the fact that by having a pedestrian walkway so close to the creek, it could also change the configuration of the creek and in the event of a tremendous runoff, flood- ing could occur which could be disastrous? Not only would it esthetically ruin the beauty of the location, but it was always my understanding that the City Planners some odd fifteen years ago had always maintained the opinion that a pedestrian pathway would never be built along Gore Creek. I am sure if that had ever been in the overall plan of the growth of Vail, they never would have allowed buildings such as our cndominiums or the hotels on either side to have built so close to the creek. Happily, we realize there is a lot of opposition to the proposed project as stated above and I wanted you to know that I am greatly opposed to the proposition and will fight it all the way.

As I had mentioned to you we hosted a group of 60 members of the Rocky Mountain Association of Meeting Planners and were using your bus system extensively. On Saturday morning we had 5 different groups of Meeting Planners riding the bus system and looking at hotels. We were on a strict time frame which had worried me however unnecessarily! Everytime we came out of a hotel it seemed that a bus was waiting and right there. It could not have demonstrated how well our transportation system worked any better. All in all, the combination of perfect weather, lots of activity in the Village, the great transportation and all the activities made for a wonderful weekend. All the Meeting Planners left raving about the Vail Valley and promising to come back soon. Thanks for helping to make the past weekend go so smoothly and best wishes for a great summer.

The Municipal League was very effective in protecting municipal interests through all the debate on these Bills as shown in the Memorandum. The "maintenance of effort" provision is intended to assure that the additional highway users tax fund (HUTF) monies result in more being spent on streets and not used to replace existing local sources of revenue for streets. I have been very concerned with that provision because the Town of Vail is involved in the seven year street improvement program, which means at the end of that time our local expenditures will decline dramatically, and we could be perceived as not maintaining our local effort. I worked with the CML staff throughout the legislative process to make sure that some wording exempting our peculiar situation in Vail was included so that we would be designated as having met the maintenance of effort requirements even though our expenditures will drop in four or five years. The wording in Section 43-2-132.5(5)(d) was specifically included at our request to make sure that the Town of Vail will not be penalized for undertaking this aggressive street reconstruction program. If any of the Councilmembers have any questions about the Bill, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Mamet, Associate Director Re: Special Session Update Date: July 12, 1989 Introduction The legislature adjourned its special session sine die on July 1. The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the outcome of the highway finance issue from a municipal viewpoint. This memorandum is being sent to: Mayors, Managers (or Clerks in municipalities without a Manager), Budget and Finance Officers, the Municipal Caucus, Street Superintendents, COG Directors, and the League's Executive Board. Please circulate copies of this memorandum to other appropriate municipal officials and personnel who may have an interest in its content. bye are receiving numerous phone calls about our two annual memos on state-shared revenue projections for HUTF and other state funds returned to cities and towns. We anticipate that these materials will be distributed to League member municipalities by mid-August. Please bear with us. We are preparing this information for you as cguickly as possible. Hiahwav Finance - General Assessment When legislators adjourned July 1 they: (1) extended the motor and special fuel taxes enacted in 1986 which otherwise would have expired on July 1 (HB 1006); (2) increased HUTF revenues an estimated $58 million in FY 89-90, $77 million in FY 90-91, and close to $90 million per year thereafter (HB 1012); and (3) created a metropolitan transportation development commission to develop a transportation plan for the Denver metropolitan area for submission to the General Assembly in 1990 and, if approved by the General Assembly, to the voters at the 1990 general election (HB 1009). The Governor signed the 6 cents gas tax extension at 11:59 p.m. on June 30. The other two bills were signed on July 11. On balance, the outcome of the year-long highway finance debate was positive for municipalities. Although a larger infusion of funds was needed, the increase approved by the General Assembly was substantial. Also, the General Assembly refrained from increasing state sales tax rates to fund the program. Moreover, :~ local governments were successfu•1 in obtaining 60-40 sharing on 1 most all of the new revenue. While a final resolution of the Denver metropolitan transportation situation did not materialize, a process was established hopefully to pull together a politically acceptable solution for legislative approval next session. On the negative side, contractor and other business interests were successful in attaching SB i94 requirements to the statewide bill. However, these new requirements were significantly modified by amendments exempting all municipalities of less than 30,000 population and by raising the dollar minimum for compliance from $50,000 to $150,000 per project. A maintenance of effort requirement was also included in the statewide financing package, but CML's suggested approach was accepted virtually verbatirn. This memorandum reviews these items in greater detail below. HB 1006 This legislation extends increases enacted in 1986. remains at 18 cents and the to 18 1/2 cents per gallorr rates starting August 1. HB 1012 - Overview the HUTF motor and special fuel tax Through the month of July, the gas tax diesel tax decreases from 20 1/2 cents HB 1012 ( see below) modifies these This legislation is the statewide component of the highway finance package and was sponsored by Rep. Elwood Gillis (R, Lamar) and Sen. Jim Rizzuto (D, La Junta). Here's a summary of the bill from a municipal perspective: * Raises an estimated $58 million in FY 89-90, $77 million in FY 90-91, and close to $90 million per year thereafter. The new revenue is generally split 60-22-18. This results in an additional $9.9 million in HUTF revenues to municipalities in FY 89-90, and $12.7 million in FY 90-91; plus a share of the additional bridge fund monies. * The gas tax increases on August 1 to 20 cents and remains at this level through_December 31, 1990. On January 1, 1991 the gas tax increases to 22 cents per gallon. * The diesel rate is at 20 1/2 cents starting August 1 through the end of this year and then drops to 18 cents starting next January through December 31, 1991. In 1992, diesel increases to 20 1/2 cents per gallon. Truck motor vehicle registration fees are adjusted each January to raise revenue sufficient to equal. a special fuel rate at the same level as motor fuel. * The fee for a driver's license increases from $6.50 to $15 and renewal will occur every five years instead of the current four years. 2 2` t * Motor vehicle registration fees increase an average of $10. An exemption for motor vehicles registered in the E-470 ;' beltway area is included. These vehicles are exempt from the first $10 of registration fees that may be imposed by a Denver metropolitan transportation financing agency. These vehicles are not exempt, however, from the statewide registration fee increases. * There is no corporate tax increase or sales tax rate increase in the legislation. * Off-the-top revenues are dealt with in a limited manner. Any state government efficiency savings are funneled back to freeing up off-the-top expenditures. * A maintenance of effort provision was inserted into the legislation by Sen. Al Meiklejohn (R, Arvada). Language developed by the League was used {see further discussion below). * SB 194 was inserted into the legislation by Sen. Bill Owens (R, Aurora) and Rep. Kathi Williams (R, Westminster). It was modified somewhat from what it looked like during the regular session. The dollar threshold was increased from $50,000 to $150,000 and the measure was clarified so that it only applies to municipalities, as well as counties, 30,000 and over in population (see further discussion below). * Additional language was inserted into the bill allowing the state Department of Highways to enter into intergovernmental agreements with counties and municipalities which allow the state to reimburse local government agencies for the maintenance or construction of highways in the state system, and agreements which allow local governments to loan the state money for the acceleration of certain state highway projects. A reciprocity provision was included allowing state and local governments to spend their highway users tax fund monies on each others' projects. HB 1012 - HUTF Revenue Generated The highway finance package is estimated to generate $58 million additional Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF) revenues the first year, $77 million the second year, and $90 million additional HUTF revenues per year after that. Generally, all the additional revenues are to be divided on a 60 percent state and 40 percent local government basis (60o state, 22o county, and 18o municipal). This means an additional $9.9 million in distribution to municipalities over the next 12 months; a significant increase over r the current $40 million municipal share. Additionally, an increase of $1 million is estimated to be_ available for municipal bridges the first year, and 51.4 million the second year. 3 Revenues estimates are lower than those used during the special session due to a variety of reasons: the one month delay of the effective date; modifications to revenue projections for certain taxes made by the Revenue Department; and th_e changing rates of taxation on diesel and truck registrations. The additional revenue will not be realized until sometime this fall since the effective date of the revenue increase package is August 1st. There is always a delay between collection of the revenues by both the vendors and the state, and distribution of those funds through the monthly HUTF checks. Based on information currently available, it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of the various increased revenue, but we are attempting to do so in the near future. The League is in the p=~ocess now of preparing HUTF revenue estimates by jurisdiction to assist you in modifying your 1989 budget as well as preparing your 1990 budget. That memo will have more specific revenue estimates than we can indicate at this time. HB 1012 - Maintenance of Effort (see attachment A) A "maintenance of effort" provision was included in HB 1012, which is intended to assure than the additional HUTF monies result in more monies being spent on streets and not used to replace existing local sources of revenue for streets. The requirement involves a certification of a base year calculation against which future expenditures by the entity will be measured. While aggregate statistics on municipal street and road expenditures show that this hasn't been an issue (that in fact local effort has increased at a greater rate than the HUTF share to muni.cipalities), concern among legislators was high enough to have this provision included as a condition of local governments receiving increased HUTF funds. The League, in conjunction with a group of municipal officials, drafted the provision that was ultimately included in HB 1012. It is structured to provide a reasonable way to calculate local expenditures, as well as to include a penalty for non-compliance. The base year calculation :is a one time certification. It is the lesser of 1989 expenditures or an average over the past five years. Allowance is made for special circumstances like a declining property tax base or extraordinary expenditures in these years. Certification of this base year calculation is due July 1, 1990 to the Highway Department. The Highway Department will be responsible for determining compliance with this maintenance of effort provision, and will be using the annual HUTF receipts and expenditures reports to make this evaluation. Prior to issuing an order to the State Treasurer to withhold HUTF monies from a municipality failing to comply, the Department is required to notify the noncomplying entity and 4• provide an opportunity to review and discuss the Department's findings with the municipality. Certain circumstances can exempt the local government from meeting the base year expenditure level. The League will be working with the Department to develop a standard methodology for figuring the base year calculation and to make the annual review for compliance as easy as possible for both local governments and the Department. This information will be made available prior to the time certification is made. HB 1012 - SB 194 Provisions (see attachment B) The League was unable to prevent SB 194 from being amended onto HB 1012. You will recall in our memorandum to you prior to the start of the special session despite Governor Romer's much appreciated veto of the bill there was a serious exposure to municipal and county interests that the provisions of SB 194 would be grafted onto any highway measure winding its way through the special session. And, that is exactly what happened. The provisions affect only the following cities in descending order of population: Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Lakewood, Pueblo, Arvada, Fort Collins, Boulder, Westminster, Greeley, Thornton, Longmont, Loveland, Littleton, Englewood, and Grand Junction. Each of these cities has a population of 30,000 or more. No other municipalities are covered by the bill at this time. Those municipalities close to 30,000 in population should, however, become familiar with the SB 194 mandate. The following counties, which also have a population of 30,000 or more, are covered by the provisions of SB 194: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Douglas, E1 Paso, Fremont, Jefferson, La Plata, Larimer, Mesa, Pueblo, and Weld. In addition to this population clarification, the other change made to SB 194 since the regular session version was to increase the threshold on the dollar value of HUTF-funded projects covered from $50,000 to $150,000. These SB 194 provisions do not take effect until January 1, 1990 and are applicable only to projects started after that date. The League will convene a meeting in the next few weeks of the affected SB 194 cities to begin to analyze on this new law and h.ow it will be implemented. During the course of the special session, a few legislators worked especially hard on behalf of cities and towns in resisting SB 194. In the House, the League recognizes and thanks: Reps. Ken Chlouber (R, Leadville), Charles Duke (R, Colorado Springs), Lew Entz (R, Hooper), Phil Hernandez (D, Denver), Stan Johnson (R, Boulder), Jeannie Reeser (D, Thornton), Rep. Dan Williams (R, Edwards), and Ruth Wright (D, Boulder). 5 In the Senate, we recognize and thank: Sens. Bonnie Allison (R, Edgewater),. Pat Pascoe (D, Denver), Ray Peterson (D, Denver), Jim Rizzuto (D, La Junta), Ted Strickland (R, Westminster), and Larry Trujillo (D, Pueblo). All of the above-named legislators either actively argued against SB 194 in committee or on the floor, or worked behind the scenes to gather votes to kill the measure. Please express your appreciation to these legislators when you see them. HB 1012 - Other Provisions of Local Government Interest HUTF Exgenditure Limitations. All the additional HUTF revenues generated as a result of HB 1012 are restricted to being spent only for improvements to the highways within the state, including new construction, safety improvements, maintenance, and capacity improvements. None of these moneys can be spent for administrative purposes. It is similar to language enacted with the last set of HUTF tax increases passed three years ago. 100 Gallon Fuel Tax Exemption. Current law exempts local governments from owing motor or special fuel taxes. However, on sales of 100 gallons or less the entity has been required to pay the tax and then request a refund. This needless exercise in paperwork has been eliminated by making any motor fuel sale to a unit of local government e~:empt from any fuel tax when its use is exclusively by the governmental entity in performing its governmental functions and activities. Reciprocity. A provision was included in HB 1012 that allows the state and local governments to use their highway users tax fund monies on each others' projects. This was not clear in existing law. Acceleration and Reimbursement. A provision in HB 1012 allows local governments, through an intergovernmental agreement with the Highway Department, to loan the Department funds for accelerating the completion of state highway projects, and for the state to repay the local government for the maintenance and construction of public highways in the state system. HB 1009 This legislation represents the Denver metropolitan component of the highway finance debate. It was sponsored by Rep. Bev Bledsoe (R, Hugo) and Sen. Bill Owens (R, Aurora). It establishes a Denver metropolitan transportation development commission which is to pz~ovide several recommendations to the legislature by next January 31. 6 ~: In developing the plan, the commission may consider such issues as: governance; development of a Denver metropolitan area transportation system; parallel buildout of mass transit and regional roadways; air quality issues (including requiring the metropolitan area to implement traffic light synchronization and street cleaning on major streets within seven days after winter sanding); and financing and taxation. Part of the plan may include consolidation of existing transportation entities. The commission is required to hold hearings in each of the six metropolitan counties during the development of the plan and prior to submission of the plan to the general assembly. The commission consists of nine voting members, and one non-voting member. Five of the voting members shall be locally elected officials (no more than three shall be municipal officials, including Denver, and one of the three must represent a municipality 10,000 or less in population). Each locally elected official shall be from one of five commission districts, the boundaries for which will be drawn based on equal populations, and which will preserve, as far as possible, existing municipal and county boundaries. The regional transportation district is entitled to a member. There will be three at-large members, one of whom shall represent "the general taxpayers' point of view." The nonvoting member must be a representative of the lead air quality planning agency designated by the Governor. Each of the six counties must be represented on the commission. The Governor appoints all the members of this commission, with confirmation by the State Senate next January. The commission has an operating budget of 5250,000. The commission shall collect from each county and municipality in the six-county area a portion of their HUTF revenue, based on the relative allocations of HUTF revenue received in the first six months of FY 1989-90 by each county and municipality in the six-county area. This total amount can't exceed 5167,000. The rest of the amount, 583,000, shall be collected from the regional transportation district. In addition, the Denver Regional Council of Governments receives 5150,000 for the costs of implementing the commission's air quality planning responsibilities. Once a plan is developed by this commission, it must be submitted to the legislature next session. The plan does not kick into effect until speciLically approved both by the legislature and by a general election vote of the registered electors in the six- county Denver metropolitan area. The legislature can modify portions of the commission's plan including but not limited to the financing and governance pieces; but, the commission's transportation construction plan can't be changed by the legislature. . 7 If the plan is approved, it is then voted on in the 1990 general election. If the legislature does not approve the plan next session, then the commission may submit a second plan to the ? legislature no later than January 31, 1992. If the legislature approves this plan, then it must be approved by the voters in the 1992 general election. If the legislature does not approve the second plan,the commission expires. Other Special Session Issues of Municipal Interest Sales Tax Base Expansion. The issue of sales tax base expansion was soundly rejected as a method of financing prisons. The League was active in promoting the idea of base expansion, but generated little support or enthusiasm for the idea. In fact, various of the special interests objecting to base expansion did so on the grounds that it would be a "windfall" for local governments. They never had to argue against base expansion on the merits of the issue. It's our political assessment that the subject of sales tax base expansion will be off the table for sometime. State Sales Tax Increase. Rep. Pat Grant (R, Denver) strongly opposed sales tax rate increases to fund highways on the House floor, in part because of his concerns as to the local government impact of such increases. While no recorded vote was ever taken on the issue, we can report that the preliminary standing vote against a sales tax rate increase was very strong and very bi- partisan the day it was removed from HB 1012. Conclusion Should this memo raise any questions, please do not hesitate to contact either of us. ale will be sending out specific HUTF revenue estimates by municipality in the next few weeks.

Our experience has been very positive. The path has provided an especially attractive access to the creekside properties for pedestrians, bicycles and skiers. To my knowledge there have been no complaints from property owners along the pathway. We believe the pathway to be an important amenity to the overall Cascade Village project. Sincerely, Andre D.

The arguments for and against the trail have been put forward in the newspapers and I will not go into those arguments here. But, I feel that a decision against the trail would effectively be a decision against the general good of the community. The trail, if properly done, will benefit the entire community as a significant ambiance asset --- which could not be surpassed by another Colorado resort community. If there is one frustration I have with living in Vail, it is the fact that consistently the "Nay Sayers" have the loudest voices, while most of us, myself included, ask the Town Council to make difficult decisions without giving you our opinions. I am doing so now partially ,as an apology for not speaking up in the past. Please add my voice to those who are in favor of the trail.

Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mr, Phillipse When I bought my tcxan home at Bishop Park this year, one of the factors that influenced my decision to buy there versus other alternatives was the relatively unobstructed view of Gore Creek from our bedroom (which is at ground level). I have recently learned that the town of Vail is planning to have a foot/bicycle path between the bedroom and the Creek. It seems that you are taking away some of my property without compensation and certainly I would not expect this when I purchased my unit. Part of the premium, I believe, that Bishop Park conmlarids is due despite its proximity to town, its relative solitude. For someone who lives where the bustle and crowds have driven our family to a bucolic setting such as Vail and Bishop Park, this plan is very upsetting. I am sure that many tourists would prefer, as I do, to have the area between the covered bridge and Lionshead be kept. in its natural state in on-ier to be enjoyed by those tourists who are environmentally interested in this natural habitat, and that a paved and gravelled path will create unnecessary security and trash problems. Finally, as an avid fly fisherman, I enjoy fishing a stretch of river from the church to Lionshead in its natural state. o I hope that this plan to build a path will not be pursued, Sincerely ~1 V Oscar S.

I strongly support its construction. Vail's success is directly dependent upon the people that come here to visit. A decision that has the property owner in mind and not the tourist is wrong. While there are many activities available to these guests, I believe that walking the streets of Vail and taking pictures of the town's beauty is one of the more popular activities. One look at our busy summer streets confirms this. I have been here 17 years and still enjoy a leisurely stroll through Vail. I believe your decision should be a decision for all the people of Vail including the tourists who visit; not just fora select few. Thank.,you, ./ ~' .S ~,~_ ~ i ~~ . Lou Carkitto `.

I would like to go on record as stringently objecting to the proposed plan of funneling an enormous amount of people on a daily basis right by our doors, destroying our view. I purchased my condo last year and this was never brought up or mentioned in any of the papers my attorney closely scrutinized. Obviously, this "master plan" was not for public knowledge. After an extremely high investment, now I find that somebody is contemplating putting together a program that will de-value my investment. This is totally appalling. Doesn't anyone understand the value of Vail's natural settings? If Vail experiences trash and refuse problems with Spring thaws now, what will happen when people are encouraged to linger and litter the river banks? 4vhy does someone think that concrete paths and wooden structures are going to be appealing? Doesn't revenue from shop sales appeal to the City Council? If so, why are City Council members attempting to divert foot traffic away from the shops? We live in Denver and utilize our condo year around. It is not a rental unit nor do we allow guests to visit unless we are there personally. We take extreme pride in owning a condo with such a lovely setting and I certainly hope that somebody is intelligent enough to not let this type of setting be destroyed.

Box 1322 Vail, CO 81658 Dear Sire While in Vail during the week of July 4, we noticed the flagging along Gore Creek from Bridge Street to Vail Road, and discovered that a 0/stream walk1° was planned along the route. This was our first knowledge of the proposed walkway, and this letter is to inform you that we STRONGLY OPPOSE the construction of this path along the West side of Gore Creek. We purchased Unit 5K, Building C, Village Center, in 1975. We love the beautiful creekside setting and the natural environ- ment. Our children waded and played in the creek, and now our grandchildren play in the creek. The path, gabions, rocks, and retaining walls would prohibit them from continuing to enjoy playing in the natural creek and on the grassy creek banks. Also, the many strangers, bicycles, roller skates, skate boards, etc>, would make it unsafe for them. i~ot only. would it take away much ~~leasure from our family, but it would greatly affect the privacy of all the adjacent property o:aners; and, rather than enhance the value of the property, it would de-value it. The property owners should have been consulted before plans were developed, as most of them prob- ably knew nothing about the Master Plan. Although the walkway would be on city property, its location and use will greatly affect the property alongside it, as pedestrians and bicyclists will be going onto and across the property, as well as littering along the way, 4300 San Felipe Plaza ~ 5847 San Felipe Road ® Houston, Texas 77057 ~ (713) 783-4300 ®Telecopier (713) 781-7809 ~' Although we do not live in Vail, we are property owners and taxpayers, and have been coming to Vail for 14 years to get away from big-'city life, concrete surroundings, etc., to the quiet, peaceful, and beautiful environment of Gore Creek.

July 15, 1989 To The: Vail Town Council: - We would like to express our reasons for opposition of the proposed Gore Creek stream walk from Bridge St. to Vail Rd. DISADVAi~lTAGES: 1_Altering the stream with gabions and retaining walls _ 2. Removal of trees and disturbing mature flora and fauna_ 3.Diminishing residential greenbelt area in core of Vail...trying to make i i this Disneyland. We should preserve i some semblance of a lovely mountain ski village. 4. Diversion from already existing retail establishments_ S. Unsightly strewn refuse and trash ! recepticles:..trash in creek. 6. Control of bikes, control of dogs, especially if path is smaller than 6 feet as indicated in May 26 Vail Trail article. We take exception to Osterfoss's remarks in the May 26 Vail Trail article."This is something everyone knew about." There was a failure to disclose the proposed plan by the town of Vail_ We I as condo owners know~as do others in our building that we were never advised by any realtor or otherwise of this path plan_ Most importantly, we ask you to .reevaluate your proposition. As i was stated~;in the May 26 Vail Trail article the path is to give people a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the stream. We observe people enjoying the banks of the stream on the north side in front of Village Center as it is_..natural. There are picnickerslovers,kids, ect_ everyday enjoying the view and the i creek. It is not necessary to alter nature with asphalt and trash cans, to create a better nature experience. i DEFINITIONS: greenbelt-an area of unoccupied ground surrounding a community, nature-the original,uncluttered,simple condition of elements of the natural universe as, mountains, trees,animals,and rivars_ CC. 1 c t .,,T 2 o se ; ~,,, ~ -C~, v ~ ~ ~ ~l o~ .~ ~--.~ c,P .... cam. ~ ~. , G C vim: GV+a ~ ~ C: a! c ~ m ~ ~ 'o -~ _. .- __ .._ _ _~ _ ... `_ ~ ._. -r -- ._ ~ ~ ._c ... _ i 1 is i-1 r .-~; r-a S~ f~y ,-- _ ._ rra '.xE oralTED STATES DTSTRrcT CouRT FoR THE DTSTKICT CF COLO1tADU Civ.ia Ac~~~~ ~'o. 69-r--10~@ LJDGE 'TUBER CCN~3UMINIUa=i ASSOCZATSC~N and ':~^Q'r~d OF VAII,, Plaintiffs, v. t.~iDGE PRJ~'EP.TIES, INC. ; WESiER.N LAND EXCHAPa qE C4~lPA:VY; THE TZT~~~: ~`~Ds'~4kAr~li' Ue EAGLE CUUNTY, INC. , d/bJa EAGLE COUNTY TITLE ;U~R?C:~~?A'~rUN`; t;i,A`i~'Uia :Ev`T`'I'ER, SECRETA:'cY, U:~aITED STATE'S DEPAR~`~w~~~~ (~s A~iRI^.,~~iL?UF2i,; F.
