This forecast should therefore be viewed as a planning tool .for analyzing the Town's current and future financial situation and not as an attempt to set the exact level of future budgets or budget policy. Due to the interaction of the myriad of variables addressed in this forecast, it becomes progressively less reliable beyond the current year. Therefore, the five year budget forecast will be updated annually. METHODOLOGY This document is divided into four sections: Section I: Assumptions. Briefly outlines and justifies the major assumptions behind the forecast. Section Imo: Findings. Lists the significant findings of the forecast. Section III: Conclusions. Presents staff opinion on the Town's current and future financial position. Section IV: The actual spreadsheets used to make the forecast. 1 SECTION I. ASSUMPTIONS Given the fact that accurately predicting the annual ups and downs of future years is a nearly impossible task, the estimates used in this report show a high degree of constancy. For example, even though annual sales tax increases are likely to vary considerably, this report is based upon the assumption of constant 5.50 increases. In this way the forecasts contained herein may be considered to be "plain vanilla" while the real world is likely to be another flavor altogether. Does this mean that the forecasts, being inherently inaccurate, are worthless? No. What it instead means is that the forecasts should be used to highlight and understand likely trends in the Town's future finances. That is, if the world behaves in a fashion reasonably consistent with our past experiences, the findings noted below in Section II, can be considered as reasonable expectations. The following items summarize the major assumptions included in this report. A. REVENUE 1. .Sales Tax. The Town's sales tax revenue has increased at an average annual rate of 8.0% from 1984-1988. An estimate of 5.50 annual growth in future sales tax revenues is assumed. TOWN OF VAIL Sales Tax Growth History CONSUMER PRICE INDEX SALES TAX GROWTH REAL YEAR INCREASE OVER PREVIOUS YEAR.

Property Tax. No increase in property tax revenues is a~tt~i except for those increases due to new construction. 3. Ski Lift Tax. A 5o growth rate is assumed. This is based upon a 2% growth rate in skier numbers and 3% annual price increases or some other combination of these factors. 4. P<~rking rates are assumed to increase 8% in 1991. Parking revenues are assumed to increase 5% per year from 1992-1995 due to increased demand and minor rate increases. 5. Real Estate Transfer Tax revenues are assumed to average $1.2 mzillion per year. This is consistent with the average tax receipts received since 1980. 6. An economic climate of moderate growth and 5o inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), has been assumed. B. E:{PENDITURES 1. M<~ny expenditure estimates in this study are driven by detailed plans for areas such as fleet replacement, capital improvements, street repair and maintenance, building repair and maintenance and employee compensation. 2. Salaries and wages, and all benefits except health insurance for current employees increased 3.8% in 1988, 2.6% in 1989, and 5.Oo in 1990. An estimated 6% increase in this item is u:red for 1991 and 5% thereafter. As the Colorado economy bE~gins to pull out of the very slow growth of recent years, we expect municipal salaries and wages to resume growing at a market rate similar to the CPI. 3. HE~alth insurance premiums are expected to continue increasing at: a rate substantially higher than the general inflation rate. A 12% growth rate has been used in this study. 4. NE~w positions have been added at a rate of $90,000 in 1990 and $80,000 per year thereafter. This assumption is based u p o n the necessity of meeting increased service demands. 5. The fleet replacement schedule is budgeted at the level nE:cessary to maintain. the fleet in good condition. Funds sufficient to replace the bus and fire fleets have been included in the Capital Projects Fund budget. 6. It: is assumed that the Town will need to add an additional bus in 1992 and 1994. 7. The payment to the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District-for provision of recreation is assumed to remain steady at the current level. 3 SECTION II. FINDINGS The following findings arise from the above listed assumptions. A. It is likely that funding sufficient to cover the Town's operating and capital needs will be available during the period of 1991 through 1995. In addition, the following amounts become available for other items: YEAR AMOUNT 1991 422,000 1992 1,041,000 1993 259,000 1994 175,000 1995 1,940,000 It therefore appears that significant funding for additional capital projects is likely to be available in 1992, 1995, and to a smaller degree, 1991. B. Approximately 78% of the Town's total revenue stream can be categorized as "elastic" revenue. That is, it varies in direct relation to the level of economic activity in town. This proportion of elastic revenue is considerably higher .than is normally found in most American municipalities and has the effect of increasing the impacts (both positive and negative) of changes in the local economy. Given the assumptions of this study, the Town's reliance upon elastic revenue sources will continue to grow slightly each year. C. Including notes, warrants, leases, bond payments, and sinking fund payments, approximately 19.90 of the Town's 1990 expenditures will be used to pay for debt service. This figure will climb to 21.0% in 1992 and should then decrease in each following year. According to credit rating agencies, such as Moody's or Standard and Poors, a local government's total debt service (both long term and short term) should be less than 40% of the total budget. Vail's 1990 level of 19.90 debt service places it well within this range. The Town staff is hopeful that Vail's decreasing relative level of debt service, our increasing fund balances, our recent history of growth, and our sound financial practices will soon lead to an increase in the Town's credit rating on our next G.O. bond offering. As illustrated by the graph below, the Town's debt payments as a percent of~expenditures has decreased substantially in the past several years. If no new debt payments are added, this trend will continue in future years. 4 , TOWN OF VAIL EXPENSE CATEGORY HISTORY A w~ - - :. n: 4 _ ~~ ~' _ ,J ..

A:Lso illustrated by the graph above is the fact that capital spending as a percentage of total spending has increased as debt service spending has decreased.. Operating expenses have remained relatively steady at about 55%-600 of total expenses. No dramatic changes in these trends are foreseen. E. A:Lthough outside the scope of this study, it appears that significant financial resources will be available in 1996 and thereafter. One reason for this is that the $1.35 million reserve fund for the Town's General Obligation bonds will ba_come available for use when the bonds are called in December of 1995. It is also likely that an amount similar to the $1.9 million projected to be available in 1995 .(see Finding A. above) will be available annually starting in 1996. 5 SECTION III. CONCLUSION The high sales tax growth rate experienced in 1989 has helped to continue a very desirable financial situation for the Town of Vail. We have been able to fund a major parking project, and defease and plan for early retirement of existing debt without a tax increase. Real Estate Transfer Tax collections have been driven to record levels by strong local market conditions. The resulting tax revenues have allowed the Town to begin a program of park and recreation path construction, and landscape improvements to meet the demands of residents. The Town of Vail's desirable financial condition is in direct contrast to that of many other American cities. As has been documented by numerous national publications, many American cities are experiencing difficult financial situations resulting in deteriorating roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure. Compounding these long term problems is the current trend in many cities of relying upon increasing amounts of off-book debt in the form of lease purchases in order to fund fleet replacements and other municipal operations. Many of these problems can be traced back to a lack of adequate financial discipline in past "good times" when such problems should have been addressed. The Town of Vail has not allowed itself to fall into this trap. Rather than deferring maintenance, the Town is pursuing an aggressive street rebuilding program and is adequately maintaining all Town facilities. Furthermore, the Town has established the policy of funding all fleet and equipment replacements - including the Town's buses - with cash on hand. Lease purchase contracts for equipment replacement are no longer utilized. Through these actions, the Town is helping to ensure that future spending "surprises" are minimized and that adequate funding is available to deal with them. In this way Vail is establishing a truly sound, sustainable base of municipal operations upon which future growth can be built. 6 1990 - 1994 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS --- REQUIRED PROJECTS --- 1990 -- 1991 ----- 1992 ----------- 1993 ----------- 1994 --------- CONDITIONS/COMMENTS 1.

The 1990 budget is a complete financial plan of all Town funds and service level activities for the ensuing fiscal year. The 1990 budget document has the same format as the 1988 and 1989 ' Budgets. We have completed many changes in the budget process in the past several years which were designed to make the document more easily understood and useful for the Council. The 1990 budget contains a number of enhanced areas of service, and a few new areas of service. These expanded service levels are necessary because of the tremendous growth which the Town of Vail has experienced over the past two years, and because of direction by the Town Council responding to community concerns. These expanded service levels are funded through existing revenue sources in 1990. A-1 BUDGET MESSAGE DECEMBER 27, 1989 PAGE 2 The service areas scheduled for increased emphasis in 1990 include: - Library Materials and Service - Police Patrol - Dispatching for Police, Fire, Ambulance, etc. - Municipal Court Hours and Service - Planning - Public Works Services (streets maintenance, trash pickup, special events setup/cleanup, etc.) - Increased Bus Service - Landscaping, Park Design, and Park Maintenance - Increased Hazardous Material Response - Additional Marketing - Increased Information Booth Hours FINANCIAL OPERATING CONDITION AND OUTLOOK The Town of Vail has experienced its best financial year ever due to much higher than expected sales tax revenues and continued impressive gains in Real Estate Transfer Taxes. We expect 1990 to be healthy due to continued mountain improvements by Vail Associates, continued interest in real estate sales, increased Vail profile, and the positive benefits of the Valley-wide marketing plan and other actions of the local business community. The 1990 budget does not contain any tax increases to fund either existing or increased operations and services including the planned construction of the 400-space expansion of the Vail Village Parking Structure, and the renovation of the existing Village Structure amounting to approximately $8 million. A-2 BUDGET MESSAGE DECEMBER 27, 1989 PAGE 3 No new taxes for operations is possible again this year due to the sizable disparity between growth rates for total revenues and expenditures. Total revenues in 1990 are projected to grow by 10.4$ while total expenditures for existing services are projected to increase by only 4.8~ This difference in growth rates provides the funding for all of the service level and capital increases included in the 1990 budget. In the future, we are also reasonably optimistic that the Town can continue to maintain existing or moderately increased operating service levels for the next few years without any new tax increases. This projection is based upon the premise that the Town will experience consistent and moderate growth in its economy with no unforeseen major expenditure increases. It is a rarity in 1989 for a municipal government in Colorado to be able to present such an optimistic picture of its current financial condition. The citizens of Vail are able to enjoy high quality public services at very reasonable taxation rates due to the money which flows into our community from our guests. REVENUES The Town's largest revenue source, sales tax, is budgeted.at a base level increase of 5~ in 1990 over projected 1989 receipts. This compares with the 1989 projected growth rate and past years growth rate as follows: 1976 24.6 1981 16.6 1986 5.9~ 1977 8.3~ 1982 9.2~ 1987 7.5~ 1978 27.1$ 1983 9.1~ 1988 12.0 1979 22.3 1984 10.1 1989 (est.) 20.0 1980 15.8 1985 7.2~ We are forecasting a slight increase in ski lift tax revenue as well as operating revenue from the parking structures. This is the fifth consecutive year in which property tax rates have not been increased. We are continuing to budget conservatively on construction-related revenues. A-3 BUDGET MESSAGE DECEMBER 27, 1989 PAGE 4 EXPENDITURES Service levels for the Town will be increased slightly due to the large growth we have experienced over the last two years, and for those areas expressly desired by the Town Council as described earlier in this budget message. GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES General fund expenditures are budgeted at an increase of 7.1$ over the 1989 budget. This increase includes all of the increased expenses associated with the increased service levels. Total compensation costs for existing personnel are 5.90 over the 1989 budget. Total compensation includes the line items for salaries, wages, and all employee benefits. REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX Real Estate Transfer Tax revenues, after remaining at a relatively stable level of around $1 million a year for several years, experienced a significant increase in 1988 and is continuing at a higher level for 1989. We are budgeting conservatively in this area for 1990 however, as this is a very elastic tax and it is risky to forecast with too much optimism. The 1990 expenditure budget for Real Estate Transfer Tax includes $999,251 for open space capital projects in addition to the approximately $l.l million necessary for debt service. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND EXPENDITURES The five year (1990-1994) Capital Projects Plan recently adopted by Council, highlights the proposed 1990 Capital Projects. The Town, on an annual basis, is increasingly able to devote more of its resources to Capital Projects by holding the line on General Fund expenditures. The following table shows this fact as a percentage of total expenditures. A-4 BUDGET MESSAGE DECEMBER 27, 1989 PAGE 5 CAPITAL PROJECTS EXPENDITURES AS PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL BUDGET 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 ESTIMATED BUDGETED 1988 1989 1990 7$ 6~ 12~ 12~ 14~ 16~ 16~ 22~ The reasons for this are: 1) Total debt service payments have actually decreased slightly since 1985 due to pay off of lease/purchases; 2 ) The growth in the operating budget has increased less than the increase in revenues; 3) Town Council decisions for the last several years have attributed to the efficient and effective governing of the Town of Vail; 4) Conservative management. decisions and strict financial policies are effectively paying off; and 5) A mature, hardworking and motivated workforce continues to find ways to save the Town money and stretch existing resources. Capital projects. scheduled for completion in 1989 included: o Street Improvement Program (third year) $1,378,400 o Addition of Six Buses 900,000 o Communications System Upgrade 400,000 o East Vail Recreation Path 400,000 o Bighorn Park Improvements 55,000 o Parking Structure Projects 140,000 o Signage Program 76,500 A-5 BUDGET MESSAGE DECEMBER 27, 1989 PAGE 6 Capital projects scheduled in the 1990 Budget include: o Street Improvement Program (fourth year) $1,345,000 o Expansion and Renovation of Village Parking Structure 8,000,000 o Construction of Additional Open Space Amenities 999,251 o Replacement of One Fire Truck 350,000 o Bus Shelter Improvements 30,000 o Handicap Access Van 25,000 o Street Light Improvements 30,000 o Recreation Paths Maintenance 77,000 Over the last five years, the Town of Vail has held a strict line on increasing levels of personnel in any department. We have now experienced significant growth pressures in almost all service areas, and for the first time in five years, we are increasing staffing levels in selected service areas, based on those growth pressures. The staffing level increases will relieve extreme pressures in some service areas, and will save the Town money in capital project areas by taking some functions in-house. These in- house functions should allow the Town to complete capital projects on a timely basis. We feel the 1990 Town of Vail budget continues to meet the ongoing needs of the community and the desired service levels as expressed by the Town Council. Res c ful submitted, Rondall V. Phillips Town Manager RVP/ds A-6 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK A-7 TOWN OF VAIL 1990 BUDGET THE TOWN OF VAIL'S FUND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM The Town of Vail Budget is centered on a program presentation. The program format best relates services provided to resources allocated for municipal services provided to the Vail community by the Town. Because of the legal requirements of state statutes and the Town of Vail Charter, the accounting requirements of generally accepted principles, and Council policy, the Town is required to use fund accounting in its financial reporting. Fund accounting is a concept developed primarily from the legislative requirements of appropriation, and the legal requirements of segregating revenue sources and corresponding expenditures. Fund accounting does not necessarily provide financial information in a form most usable for policy and management decision making. The following is a brief summary of the various Town funds, their purpose, source of revenue and expenditure highlights proposed in the 1990 budget. As you read through this section, you may wish to refer to the Summary of Fund section of the budget. GENERAL FUND The General Fund is named for the nature of the various revenue sources. They are general, not earmarked, and can be used for any and all municipal purposes. The Town of Vail General Fund provides for most on-going municipal services delivered to the community. .The primary revenue sources for the General Fund are the sales tax which and property taxes. Other revenue sources include the Ski Lift Tax, Parking fees, Franchise fees, fines, intergovernmental shared revenue, and various charges for services, permits and licenses. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND The Capital Projects Fund is funded by a portion of the Town's Sales Tax collections, one half of the Ski Lift tax, Recreation Amenities fees and some intergovernmental transfers. The majority of the revenue in this fund is used for the annual General Obligation debt payment. After providing for this payment, excess revenue is used for other acquisitions and major maintenance items of a capital nature. A-8 ' HEAVY EQUIPMENT FUND ' This fund acts as an internal service fund as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. That is, it receives its revenue by charging other funds for services rendered. This ' fund's function is to maintain and replace Town fleet equipment and to provide an allocation method for fleet usage. CONSERVATION TRUST FUND This fund is mandated by the State of Colorado in order to account for lottery proceeds paid to the Town. REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX FUND This fund accounts for a 1% tax on the transfer of all real property within the Town limits. SPECIAL PARKING ASSESSMENT FUND This fund accounts for receipts from parking space assessments which arise from building expansions. Beginning in 1989, one dollar per paid transaction in the parking structures is being put into this fund. The revenues are used for parking capital expenditures. COMPUTER PROJECT FUND The Town is currently engaging in a multi-year project to replace its computer system. This fund is used to account for all computer project expenditures as required by generally accepted accounting principles. This fund will be deleted upon completion of the project. DEBT SERVICES FUND This fund accounts for the current debt obligations of the Town. Revenue for this fund is comprised of transfers from other funds and some interest earnings. HEALTH INSURANCE FUND This fund acts as a temporary holding account for transactions between the Town and its health insurance providers. All revenue in this fund is received from other Town funds. A-9 LIONSHEAD MALL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT This fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures related to the construction of the Lionshead Mall. Annual expenses are primarily comprised of payments on the small number of bonds currently outstanding. WEST VAIL ASSESSMENT DISTRICT This fund accounts for the revenues and expenditures related to the reconstruction of roads in West Vail. Annual expenses are primarily comprised of payments on the small number of bonds currently outstanding. VAIL MARKETING FUND The purpose of this fund is to account for the revenues and expenditures related to the Town's marketing efforts. The majority of this fund's revenues are derived from Vail's business license fee.

Phillips, Town ger FROM: Ken Hughey, Chief olice DATE: January 18, 1990 SUBJECT: Committee Recommendations Within the next several months the post office will vacate their current Town of Vail owned facility immediately west of the municipal building. With this impending move, the obvious issue becomes the most appropriate use of the building and/or site. At this point in time it would appear that the most immediate need is for VRA and Chamber of Commerce office space. This is necessary due to their need to relocate as a result of the upcoming renovation and addition to the Village TRC. Preliminary discussion has been held with the involved groups and the Town of Vail, with the thought that the site could be used until April of 1991 at which time they would secure their own space. Once this space is no longer needed by the VRA and the Chamber, it is again available for other uses. Due to the severe current overcrowding in the municipal building, especially in the police department, and future anticipated growth in almost all departments housed in the municipal building, the committee feels that the current post office site and/or building may be most suited to fill this need. In an effort to determine the current and future space needs for the impacted departments and the suitability of the post office site and/or building, we are requesting authorization to proceed with an RFQ process to develop a consultant list to be used to solicit proposals during the subsequent RFP process. We are requesting to initiate the process at this time so as to assure it is done right. The time line on a process of this type can be quite lengthy and we do not want to have to "hurry" the process. Your consideration and cooperation is appreciated. r' _ ~oo~ Municipal Complex Site 60ALS90A PROP05ED COUNCIL 60AL SETTING PROCE55 FOR JANUARY 30TH. 1) DELINNATE THE STRATEGIC FLANNIPJ6 PROCESS FROM THE 5HORT AND INTERMEDIATE TERM PLANNING PROCESS.

Eskwith Town Attorney, Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mr. Eskwith: The two Decision Notices signed by the Regional Forester dated September 17, 1987, (copy enclosed) made decisions that concerned the Town of Vail's National Forest Townsite application dated December 13, 1983 and it's Statement of Intent dated July 6, 1984: 1. East Vail Parcel - This 80-acre parcel is available to the Town of Vail at fair market value under the authority of the National Forest Townsite Act of 1958. 2. Spraddle Creek Parcel is available to the Town of Vail at fair market value under the authority of the General Exchange Act of 1922, as amended by the Sisk Act of 1967 for one year from June 26, 1989. 3. Maintenance Building Parcel is available for conveyance to the Town of Vail under the authority of the Sisk Act of-1967. This parcel will be available for acquisition by the Town of Vail for one year from June 26, 1989. There has been demonstrated interest in the Spraddle. Creek Parcel from other parties. If the Town is not interested in acquiring this parcel at this time please let us know. With this interest from other parties, we would probably open the proposed acquisition of the Spraddle Creek to competitive offers. The Town would be eligible in this process. Sincerely, ~~ THOMAS A.

Phillips, Town Manager Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mr. Phillips: This is in answer to your letter of December I8, 1989 requesting information related to acquisition of the Spraddle Creek Parcel and the Golf Course Maintenance Parcel by the Town of Vail. You are correct in that the Regional Forester's Decision Notice of November 8, 1988 affirmed his earlier decision to sell the Spraddle Creek Parcel to the Town of Vail under authority of the National Forest Townsite Act. The Regional Forester qualified his decision by stating that the parcel would be available to the Town for a period of one year following its deletion from our Land Exchange Agreement with Lodge Properties, Inc. The parcel became available to the Town on June 26, 1989. Regulations governing National Forest Townsite sales are in 36 CFR 254, Subpart B. A copy of these regulations is enclosed for your convenience. It is our opinion, and the Forest Supervisor and Regional Forester concur, that all steps in this transaction have been completed except the appraisal of fair market value. Although the parcel was appraised as having a value of $390,000 as of May 15, 1987, that appraisal has expired and is no longer valid. Upon request., I will arrange for you or other Town of Vail personnel to meet with the Regional Appraiser to discuss appraisal guidelines and selection of an appraiser. Regarding the Golf Course Maintenance Parcel, the Regional Forester's Decision Notice for the Town of Vail Land Exchange and Townsite Application dated September 7, 1987 is the applicable decision. A copy of this document is also enclosed for your convenience. Conveyance of this parcel to the Town under authority of the General Exchange Act of -1922 as amended by the Sisk Act (sometimes referred to as the Exchange for Schools Act) has been approved by the Regional Forester. ,~,..., Caring for the Land and Serving People U~S FS-8200.28(7.82) ~6®oe ~, ~~ A 1983 amendment to the Sisk Act provides that up to 80 acres of National Forest System (NF S) land may be exchanged to municipalities for up to 100% cash payment of the value of the NFS land. This payment is then used by the Forest Service to acquire replacement lands. The Act requires that the NFS land be used for the same purpose as before the conveyance. Again the principle step remaining to complete this transaction is appraisal of the fair market value of the parcel. We also believe it would be necessary to issue a supplemental decision notice to disclose the appraised value since this is a land exchange transaction. The appraisal for this parcel can be discussed with the Regional Appraiser at the same time as that for the Spraddle Creek Parcel. We are anxious to complete both of these approved transactions with the Town of Vail. As you may know, other parties have demonstrated interest in acquiring the Spraddle Creek Parcel from the Forest Service. If the Town intends to acquire this parcel, we encourage that it be done as soon as possible to avoid needless controversy. We would be glad to meet with you to further discuss these transactions.

'tlte entire world., Vail is in a position to view the past with pride borne frcn~ success. 'The Challenge facir-g the Vail Valley is to retain its standing in the ski. industry and to expand upon its potential to become the preeminent resort, The gavel industry in gererai anti the sld industry in particular will becozzle mare intensely competitive in the next der..ade. New resorts will be developed, and major inv~t3rEEnts iat exi.st~n d~Stinat7on resorts will take place. Demands for quality serv7ce and goad value w:;ll increase. Ne~v xocreational and cultural forces will emerge as a number of foxces, including chan,g~ttg demographics, continue to have profound effects on consumer behavior. Long-term patterns of vvpather due to factors such as increased pollution and rain, and the greenhouse ef¢ect, are uncertain. And Vai1's role in an i~--terrtatzonal marketpplace, tl~t is rapidly becoming established with changes in Asia and Eastern p~u~'4pe, witl cpn~nue to evolve. In this fast-changing and cornpedtive enviro:~ent, statt~ qu:~ in aN:d of itself v~ill not be sufficient. There exists the opp~mutity to look to the future and to plan ir. wads that will ix~aintain 1ie momentum and ensure that the coming decades are as sLCCfu: as ~e r~C°rct past. The Vail Valley can cor~ider the next decade in a proactive z~nan~:er, filled with the enthusiastic spirit to self-direct the future. Yt is taut of this situation, and a coz~bi~~tion of opportunity and need, that the concept of the Vail Valley ~~ ~'~m''ng l'r'~e~ em'erg~. 1"he primary mission of the Vail Valley eft©© Fran is a thoughtful process through which the community objectfz~sIy evnruates the cstrrent situation, formulates a comprehensive yet definative atsd action~tbre set of ,goals and objectives, and adapts a series of coorsl:nr~ted strategies, programs a;~d improvements to achfeve desired ends, GOi'vIPREI~EIVSIVE AND INTEGRATED APPROAChi Most community plans are not truly com~preheztsive in r+ature.

ISSUES Tfl ~E A.UDI{ESSEi7 ~ltho~,gh it is premature to identify or prioritize all of the elements `~r.at wa~zld be addressed in this process, it is passible to d~eribe an obvious set of needs and opportunities. 'T'hey are "cross-cut#ing,'~ meaning that they fall in no single discipline or existing municipal department; therein lies the r_hallgr.~,e and apporkumty iacin~, the Salley -- to perform a truly cam rehensive stud ° desig:-ed to ii-~te~rate trul.tiple £"3ks rnd technical a.~saes rota a single unified document. ~ull scope of issues ;Yhiclt Several workshops would be scheduled to clarify and re#~:ne the . are to be addressed as part of the process, however, an initial list would include the fallowing items which, it should be noted, is not argasvzed in order of hnpartance. 1, Land Use Roes the existing supply and location of Iodgsng, retail ar4d commercial development meet trhe current and future needy of the total population? How well is the visitor being served? And is the Iocal resident being served? (Note that because of retirement trends, many "residents" n a~oh'tsa }~' is pthe le similax to visitors, but w3t`~ very different needs and axpec quality and diversi of roducts ad ate? ~"nat man ~ in terns of renovation or redevelopment of obso and% or pooriy ocat ceded, where, appropriate, and what type and amount of development a... over what period of time to meet des>red standards?

Local Residents .and $m le ee Needs What will be the quantitative and qualitative needs of the year-round and seasonal work force to assuxe a desirable quality of Iife and. acceptable living standard fox the majority of residents and workers? Issues obviously include the reed for affordable housing, but encompass as well other support sert~ces such as child Bare, public educadcn opportunities, transpartatian, rec~reatian, medical facilities, employment opportunities and living eondition5, etc. After several years of relatively avauabie hol.~ing oppod°s fa: lpcal residents, the entire situation has recently become far more crit.cal_ 7lte ability to 2 _ ' ~ ~J~O:=? `1IH:'t - =;;~3hJl;~H,~ 1'=~3lrl i:..H3 =~ :9T t=~r,; _ _ ~.i,y. attract aztd retain an acceptable sup l~ of trained and motivated service workers will i1-tfluenee the ability a~tite Vaal Valley to cotatintre to attract and Satisfy the desired level of destination visitors. A speck set of criteria and. an actian plan to meet ~ variety of local workers' needs i$ vital to the Vail VaIIey 2004 process. 3. Municipal5ervices Public services such as trarPspoxtation facilities and programs will l:e essential to the Valle}~s long-term success. Both re Tonal access into the area and the ability to serve the diversity of local "peop~e mavemEnt" reeds, including transit, auto and pedestrian/bicycle must be addressed. These .seeds shift from season to season and bet;veen local residents and visitor,. They invohve coordinated internal systems in Vail, Avon/Beaver Creek, and "peripheral Iocatio7s" spread throughout the area as well as the interfacing between these various ce:tters. As both visitors and locals are encouraged to become loss auto-dependent, increased stress will be placed upon alternative modes of transportation. Some new and innovative system need to be considered and investigated. other key pubic services such as, Ere and police protectors, utility planning, etc. must also be planned for in a coordinated fashion, related to outer community goals and o'~jectives. RecreaEion planning is another service area that deserves particular attention in the process. The superb existing recreation opportu~-uties are at the heart of Vail's success; but new development and improvement is critical to attaining year-round balance and "total" resort supremacy. The opportu-uties to integrate recreation facilities with housing and to tailor furthar programs to tlse diversity of users exists. In addition, as the use of {acuities like rails and open spaces blur their categorization as "recreations," transportation, or essentials to "quality of life," the need to inted ate and View system:. comprehensively increases. 4. Bnviranmental Ply Environmental planning will become an increasing priority r~adonally. The Vail Vallay will see this occur' as well. As pressurE~s for growth continue, t~~te need to identify and protest environmentally sensitive corridors and land farms, flood plaints and stream corridors, water quality, desired open space panels, trail linkages, unique vegetation and wetlands, Sviidlife, and air' quality will increase as weII, At the minimum, a truly Valley-wide inventory of such areas and a uniform set of guidelines and controls whic.~h are reasonable, yet effective, should be accou~plished. 5. A diagnosis of the public and private educational system operating within the Valley, both at the elementary through high school, and post-high school levels for both part-time and full-time enrollment should be conduct_c'i. Similarly, the role and diversity of special cultural opporhutites which a:re made availal~Ie to the contn~urdty, to both its visitors and its residents, sha~axd 3 i7 ~ I:_!~!_:!:J ~ ~ i H~''', - ~~~~f~~~~i~~N~~ ~ ~~~°~ 1~=iH j l_lt' : ° ti G1h : - - i...~tyi~ -y~r __ _~_'1~" -- Er-+=; i LJ~_; I Pr!~'Tf?EF'_, ~:'F-11~ _ ___ . r. =.'4 be evaluated. Regardless of sponsorship, i.e. the Vail Valley Foundation, the togvr~; or privately sponsored special events, series, and angouig programs should tae co~idexed in the context of the Vail Valley 2000 planning process. A strati is defir-ition of, and an action plan which addresses what the cultural~ed~acational dimension of the Vail Valley should be that considers botl{. r~-.sidents and visitors across all seasons is a ~rzajar priority of this prc.~e-:~. ~~:i'~ a v`?8iort to~4•ard ts~e ear 2060, an actionable plan shol,La re establishes for implementation by file various public and private entities involved. b. C:rgan~aational Structures °I~e Vail Valley is ~arrently characterized by a fragmented system, of local governmen~~, sped districts, boards and authorities. Yet the issues ar..d probie~ which must lac dealt with are mere often than not regional in nature. Most of the isues identified above do not conform to e.~cisting govea-nme:~tal jur;sciictionai lines, 'I he Vail Valleyy 2000 process must address the c~aes*ion of what oxganizational changes migYnt be necessary ht order ioT the urea to s:~ceessfully meet the challenges and demands of the future. Such an evaluation, ideally, should not be coz-ned to only addressing the s~°era;;~;~ anti wealesses of the governmental se~--tor. Other private and quasi-p~vate orgazi~tions such as various Local marketing organizations, Vs2A, Beaver Creek Central reservat7ons, .von Chamber of Comaneree sh:~uid also be evaluated to determine whether modification in structurQ, funding, staffing, etc. are appropriate. ,_ ;. I~eved::#pmea r reguJ~t'ions _~~d re~iev~roc ores. O:~ce th e land use inventory service and environmental analysis have been irndertakest, and the governmental issues have been considered, it would be appropriate to critique the variety of land use and zoning regulations pertair:ing to development review and processing which etzxrentiy exist. It may 'oe tint certain changes and modifications are warranted. These should be ide: tified, v~th. recosnrnendations directed to the appropriate jttri.sdict~on. S_ Nlarke~a~g_Frogra;r~s[Pos;tionirg;. Ftc. Many issues exist related to the strategic marketing and positioning of the Val1 Valley aver the next IO-1S years. Like so many of the issues identified above, rz~ar;;eng strategies will increasingly influence the dir2ctlon cf growth and will contribute to both problems and opportunities. Far example, decisions to market to visitors with cars {the Front Range being one such locale} versus fly~iz- traffic that might be encouraged to come without automobiles is a marketing decision of significant community impact. ~Vhiie it i5 not the suggestion of this proposal that every marketing decision afi'ecting the Valley be entertained in this process, there is a clear need acrd we believe ctnique opporttunity to better alig„_ the many players toward a unified set of goals. A sampling of the typPS of topics that 'would be considered in this process include: 4 a. To what extent should Vail become ayear-round, full-service az~d multi-ditxtensit~ztal resort of which sklirR~; bt~t one imnartant dimension? Increased cultural and educational activities, c€~nvendon$, xevitalixatian pf the human spirit, etc, are all aspects to be considered? l-iow does the summer and tradirionall Shoulder seasons o£ spz~::ng and felt fit into this equation and.. system a~priorities? b. What range ok programs, sera+ices az~d. pz~oduc;~ are necessary to achieve such an ob~2ctive, and how realistic/feasible is such an affe~? What are the upside and do~~vrsidc ri~~ks associated therewith? c. To what extent should Vail be positioning itself as an international resort, catering to a global population? th'hat specific programs, acHvikles, packages, etc. would be necessary tea achieve desired goals in this area? d. In terms of the national destirYation market, wl~.ich aegi=~r~s sand demographic/psychographic seg:ne~tts became prunary targets, and ltaw can objectives best be met? e. What is the mast effective strategy and what priority should be place on markQting to the Front Range? Should strategies ai.fferentiate bet~~een day and overnight Front Range visitors? What should the Valley's posiure be toward issues of pricing, gaality, value and exclusivity? Should it concentrate primai~ly an achieving stature us a high-end, expensive and superior q«ality product rather than on broadening and diversifying its appeal and aktxac nS larger volumes of visitors? What is the best '"balance" fc,- the Valley to seek. to achieve and how can this best be carried out? g. Y1That are the geographical limits of the Valley which should be considered in this process? Should the boundaries on the east ektend to the top of Vail Pass, or perhaps beyond wit1't li^kages to Summit Courtly? Similarly, should it be extended west to Cordierra/Edwards, Wolcott, Eagle, etc. Clearly, as the area of focus where integrated planning occurs is extended further in either direction, dramatic opportunities far new products and inno~-ative thinking inc*ease as well. LYithi.-~ this context, should Vail anti Beaver Creek continue to be positioned independently as free standingg resorts each wi;h a unique set of attributes or should they b° broaght increasingly back together as a trop "mega-resort"? h. In terms of all of the above, what is the appropriate peak carrying capacity of the Vail Valley, given the diverse objectives of quali#~' of life, environmental sensitivity, service workers, etc.? To what extent should efforts be made to approach that capacity threshold? ~"Ihat are the levels of "on-site" population and activities which are truly appropriate? ~'V1zat levels of integrated mountain e. ansion at Y'ail and. Beaver Creek are desirable in ?ight of the above? What time fralries for expansion and growth should be identified? 5 ~T."=•-' '01C~=~`-lI~!r`'~~ - =~~~hJ1:~Hd 1'=~P'1 J_=H3 _C_1:'=F t~ir,: __ ~..~Hr i. What features and aspects about the Vail Valley are truly ur:ique and what are the areas of stren~th upon which it can L~::nti.`tue to b=.~i]d its stature and differentiate itself from its competition aver the next 1Q to 15 years? j. What new innovations, trends and travel-related dPrttant3.s are likely to occur over the next decade and how can Vail best i?ositzo~t itself to Capitalize on the opportunities present? k Izt those areas where "conui~unity" agreezz1er~t can be achievod., 17ow car, the various private and putalic groups and organizations bait zrabj'~'e to achieve desired results? ~.re nevi' and ~.ea~ve &or.r~ of partnership and orgar;ization possible? 9. What prioritization system makes the mast sense? How cant the ~T:ail Valley 20flQ Plan be broken down iota "chewable' bites, wi#l~ a series of 1- to 3-year "s~:bplarts" created with realistiL performance criter`;a and ot~jec:tives defined, and a speck action pion for the first phase adopted? IQ. Sy~tern for Manitoz'in and U slim the Plan Create an ongoing monitozy updating process and str*.~cture which will keep the program °'cuurent,,' input new data as they becarrte available, and make adjustments as necessaz`y. APpROA-(~ ~L sill Reuunen and Cares, Inc. will serve as a facilitatorlcaardinator of the process, but will look to utilize existing kcal resources, staffs, anci personnel to the extent available and feasible. While the details of approach and n~anagemei;t structure would need to be refined, some general steps and initial suggestions with regard to approach include: Phase I -- kte~arch and Analysis 1. InventorylData Collection 1ZRC will coordinate this initial phase to bring together a c:o4rdinated "data base" to the extent available. This will include physical inventory of pertinent land use, public services, envzranmentalty sensitive areas, organizational data, finandal data, marketing plans, current "'employee housitng" stock, population statistics, visitation .patterns, adopted community nester plans, etc. We will update the impact model FdtC originally de°reloped as part of the Vail Mvuntaizt Master Plan and extend it to cover the Vail Valley boundaries determined to be the project study area. Completion of this task will enable the group of participants to project demand for a variety of visitor and local resident accommodatzozts, retail, and serti~ice steeds {particularly txanspartation- relatedl, gig-en several aiterna#ive g~'owth ar~d mountain, capa~ty-related 6 ~T.;b°~~ °G1i_~:=;~~IHr~, - ~~;~?t;1~~r',~ 1'=~~~~1 1'=;H3 t-t_t:~.T t_,~.: _~ .{Hi scenarios. Use of this technique 'will permit the group to understand the consequence of various "carrying-capacity"-related tnres'<~olds, pard~.iarlj> during peak periods. We will also conduct Local resident surveys to update c>.urent information re: issues/dewlands related to community priorities and needs such as hoi.~sing, services, quality of lif>s, etc. The sun,~ey should be timed tti introduce preliminary alter,~atives/choices of possible actio.:s for evaluation and input. Possible follow-up to dozen surveys would be held through faces groups to prate further into selected issues and to rerilte the emerghig recommendations and conclusions. 'Pius data will be organized in "user-friendly" forn~.ats, with consistent Labels and indexes to allow public acces<~. Such effort would res+.;~t in an important resource for the planning effort. 2: A Vail Area Office for the Studv Past experience has shown that there is value in creating a "presence" for the process by establishing a "storefront" office during the Phase I period. l~stanned by >:ZRC personnel, and others as approp~ate, st:cl~ an office permits drop-in traffic and encourages the free flow of ideas and co~nmixn'~cati:,ns. 3. $oaus Grou $rairistarmina Focused group discussions will be used to refine an initial set o.f issues to be adc'~ressed, prioritize those of greatest importance, and develop a realistic set of goats for the program. Initially, meetings will be af~ranged with selected participants representative of key segments of the corrxr~luuty as well as with groups of visitors. Each group wrl.i consist of 1tI to 71~ people frofn related diSaiplines. Based upon the results of these "focus groups,"amore in-depth evaluafi~on of issues with a range of alternative actions/impacts, etc. will be deveta ed by RISC, with assistance/feedback as necessary from key partici ants. These sessions would be summarized in writing and key findings ~or shaping the overaA program. 4. Public M~ Public meetings would be held with officials, technical staf#s and interested citizens to review and resppoond to the proposed approach. A document would emerge. which would be, in many respects, a detailed ~vozk program. 5. Executive Cozztnnittee Selection of a local "Board of Directors" or "Executive Cornn-sittee" cor'.sisti,rtg of up to 9 people from various interests; i.e. developznertt, $®v2mnent, marketing, Vail Asso~ates, 5pedal Districts, planners/architects, fi-~anrial institutions, lodging operators, retailing, etc., who will be responsible for overseeing the rocess.

A Futurist Panel ©rganize and schedule a "futuxist" panel +~f experts frarn c-utside the community who specialize in taurissrt and resort-related analysis and pXajections to assist in developing the carr+anuttity agenda, Participants will. be selected by a combination of RRC and the ldxe~-u1.ve ~~`iti-Tr'.iitee. The schedule and contents of workshop{~) will be determined at the start of the process, arrd a format will be chosen to n;~;~imize an inter~~ar3ge o; ideas between panel partidpants. The approach would allow thoughts and conclusions re2F~ted to Vail j%alley c~pparc-~znities, aced ~~rould enable tl~e panel to engage in interactive dialagrie with Executive Ca~'z~-n``ittee and salect "invitees;' and then to partic~~pate in a bra-ader-based eam~uruty di~son. It is possible that this panel of experts will be retained to meet additional times in a similar format as the planning project advances. ~. A ~om~arable Resort Interchange 1'roram 'T'he ExecutivE Committee waft assist in identifying up to six resorts wl'ud~ will be visited and observed by local can+~~"ngents. Tl~e se?ected resart~s t~l be chosen for particular attr;.butes such as transpa~a.#on systems, employee programs, quality/range of fadlities, market ruches, governmental ar organizational managennent forrx~s, and cizlba.ral ar educat';o;1a1 pragram,s which are mast pertinent to the Fail VaIIey process. Advance meetings with key players from the resorts v+=ill be arranged to guide the Vail contingent curing their on-site visit a~'~d to provide desi~'ed infarmatian and documentation. Selected personnel from these resorts may also be invited to Vail Valley for a later reciprocal s~,sion in Vail designed to apply results and to integrate there into the developing plan. Final reports of findings of the trip by each cantif~gent are to be deliverer to the Executive Committee for integration into the a =erall prag:'alrti ~'hase YI -Development of the Plan 1. Prelimina Draft of Strate ic' Vail Valle fC Plan to be '~evelo ed At this stage in the process, we will be prepared to develop a drpcume-nt which addresses the princi aI issues defined as critical to the Lang-term success of Vail. A team o~ technically trained local experts, interested and "informed" citizens, and at least one representative from the Executive Committee wil3 be formed to develop prelimu~ry recommendatlans for each issue. Each team will have a spedfic assignment to document and critique the current situation; describe a set of oafs, objectives and standards to define that which is to be accomplished; and suggest an action-oriented plan necessary to achieve the desired ends. Estimated required levels of ft~r+ding, if and as appxapriate, will also be identified as part of this initial analysis. To assure a consistent level of treatment, Qach team will receive direction regarding required levels of specific7ty, formats of reports, etc. Theme T: '~ ' ~~ ' 01~_r_i `1I Hr'', - 5~~~~.l1~~Hd 1:=~3i'1 i'..H3 '~~~ : T t=.tr~ ; _ = t JHl. directions will be dekermirted by RRC in concert with the Executive committee prior to the assignmezaks bcia~g ~van. A reasonable time schedule in which each team will be asf~ed to coznptete their initial draft will alao be set at this dame. 2 Presentation of Draft A presentation by each team to the Executive Committee and a larger "meeting of the whole" will be scheduled. Draft reports will be su'omitted by each team, consistent with the guidelines referred to above. Discussion in regard to eack~ issue will occur as appropriate. 3. Refinement The draft Plan will khan be studied by the Exec~ztive Coriunittee, who will Suggesk modifications as may be appropriate to each of the elemezas. Each team will then reE-ise and refine then parkicular doc~.lrr'tents, '.:ase~a ~.zpczi the critique received. ~. Development of RevLs~ Plan Revised drafts will then be presented to, and reviewed by, the Executive Committee. With this latest direction as provided by the Committee, RRC tviil Coordinate with the various teams to complete a draft of the tjuil Valley 2004 I''ian. 5. Workshop A two-day workshop will be schedule in Vail to review and brainstorm She proposed plan. We will invite the panel of "futurists" who were iravalved in the earlier session to this session. In addition, we ~vifl also invite a setettr'oza. of experts from the outside resorts visited and observed by tr,~ vail Contingent. 'This combined panel of exports will be a~seznbled for an intensive two~ay session. On the first day of this session, presentations will be made to the "panel" by RRC and the l~xecutive Committee, assisted by the resource teams, of the proposed V3i1 2CKKI Flan. Questions and dialogue between partidpants would follow. Ort the secozad day, the panel and cutcide experts will pzo~-ide their feedback of the Plan, with specific suggestiozas and new ideas being offered, b. Preparation of Pinal Draft Based upon the insights gained froze this workshop, a ftrtal document of t~Tail Valley 20fl0 policy and action plan will be prepared. 7. Formal A~~proval Process A series of public meetings will then be sdaedizIed to expose the broader citizenry to the proposal. Executive sunuTaaries will be preppared for distribution azad printing in the local newspapers. Final refix-ements can then be made.

Phase III ~- Ixnplemen#ati~an 1. As mentioned in the introductory section; the Vail Valle;, ?000 Plan, while offering an exciting and innovative vision of the fut~"e, wuI also txanslate thl.~ vision into a series of specific and actionable phases. VJe believe it is essential that a committee consisting of representat'~ves from both the p'~bl±c and private sxt~ars be appointed whose .sole respor~ibility it will be to oversee the implementation of the Plan. ~°his comz:2it4ee, which will Perhaps be Composed of many individuals ;~~ho aLso ser ~°ed can the Executive Committee, should be iven a reasonable budget along whit they "charge" to periodically review and update, assurinptions, suggest possible revisions, etc., as the group monitors the program being made. We believe that uzany of the Plan's recan~mendatians will be far-reaching and will involve coordinated action b-~yY the various local and regional govel:~mental jurisdictions, Vail AssaClateQ, the Chamber re`~ort assoCiat;fins, and the Vail Valley Foundation, as well as across-section of irndavid~.~al private interests and entrepreneurs. Members of the committee charged with overseeing the inr~ple;~~enta~on should be selected with great care. Funding for their operation s:~ould likely reflect the breadth of those affected; that iL~, members shoizd corns frog a variety of sources, bath public and private. The com-~'tittee sh`:o~,~ld be given a deg~'ee of independence a~td stature that would enable them to review anci comment on actions which pertain to the Plan being taken by the Towta and County government`s, including their respective boards and authorities, as well as a variety of private se~"tor groups and orga~+.?~atc~ 't'hey should be Consulted in any lang~range plaruxin ar n~ajar strategic rnarketing efforts being considered by the prizscipal "players" in the Valley. The Vail Valley 2000 Plan wiil be a blueprint for action by the "whole" community who seeks to achieve the mission of making #~-e Vail Valley the preeminent year-round resort in North American and one of the top few s~:ch resorts in the entire world. SCIrII~l]ULL AND IitlDG~' The planning effort we have described is clearly an ambitious undertaking. Yet we believe ff the effort can truly b+e focused, it can be accomplished in less than one year's time. If the community is witting to move forward with this process, we would hope it would Commence by the first week in February. Assuming toot our` objective woull~ be to eomg~ete the first t~vo phases -- that is, the development of the Plan itself -- by the end of November of next year, our sense is that once the ski season starts, attention will shift 10 %.'[ ' ,~ ' (J~i=?:J ' 11 Hr'`~~ - =~~~~f ~1~~H.~ 1~~3~'1 1=;H3. ~-l_J :'~ T ~_1F~ : - - h.1H j. •i• away and it wall l=ie difficult to maintain momentums an the final stages of tl:e pla;tring prcx This v~ill mean an approximately TO-month tune frame to uevelap the P;an.

Pk~se II, the act~l deveiopanent of the flan, would comaneaxce h~ M.gy o: earlyy J~.arae, extending through the sun~ner until perhaps arid-Septe~r-l>er. The draft of the Plan jti Auld theJn be refined, communicated to the citizens, and "adopted" in the C~tpberJN'ovember ttme period. Phase ZII, the implementation aspects, could then be started by early 1991. It :~ difficult at tl>~ stage to develop a detailed budget.

TOWN OF VAIL, COLORADO, a body politic, Defendant. This matter now comes before the Court on the Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration of the Court's previous ruling dismissing the case. This matter was originally before the Court on the Plaintiff's complaint seeking to declare Ordinance No. 33 of the Town of Vail illegal and invalid based upon the Town's recitation in the ordinance that it was for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. On motion of the Defendant Town, the Court dismissed the case, declaring that the municipality's deter~iination of an emergency is a legislative, not a judicial, question and cannot be reviewed by the Court absent aishowing of bad faith or fraud. The ordinance called for the issuance of tax anticipation notesl,on the 5th day of .January 199G, and the Court hearing was held o January 9,,1990. At that time the Town attorney informed he Court, as an officer of the Court, that the tax anticipati n notes had not been issued because the Town was unable to give,the appropriate financial institutions a no-litigation letter. Because the ordinance was quite specific as to tim s and dates and the tax anticipation notes could not be issue on those dates, the Court declares the issue now moot. However because of some of the issues raised by the Plaintiff in his Motion for Reconsideration, the Court will nevertheless address those issues. Plaintiff part of, the Town fc executive meetings raises the issue that it is bad faith on the r not having kept minutes or tapes of (leading to the passage of Ordinance No. 33. 4• In support of its arguments, Plaintiff cites Section 26-4-401 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, which is the open meetings law dealing with state government. The Court determines that that statute is not applicable to meetings of the Town of Vail. The Plaintiff also raises the issue of public meetings as that is stated in C.R.S. 29-9-101. .This section does, in fact, apply to local governments, including the Town of Vail; but there is nothing in the section which requires the Town to keep any minutes or tapes of executive sessions. No formal action may be taken in executive session, and all decisions have to be made at the public meeting where there are minutes being ~~ kept. Even Section 24-6-401, which is erroneously cited by the Plaintiff, only requires that the purpose of an executive session be stated in the minutes, and it does not require that there be tape recordings of or minutes kept at the executive sessions. Plaintiff next complains that none of the exceptions to the public meetings law allow the Town of Vail to have an executive session on the subject of Ordinance No. 33. However, Section 29-9-101(3) does provide that a governing body of a municipality may meet in executive session to determine its position relative to .issues that may be subject to negotiation, such as purchase price and interest rate,- which are primary issues in Ordinance No. 33. Based on these things, the Court is no showing of bad faith or fraud on the Vail; and, accordingly, the Court will not previous order dismissing this case and ag of Ordinance No. 33 is now moot.

We appreciate your input and struggled with some of the concerns which you expressed. Under ordinary circumstances, a local government contribution for a non-local cause would be questionable. We believe that monetary support for this particular cause, however, is an exception. As you are aware, the Fords have made an invaluable contribution throughout the years to our community and the Valley as a whole. We have benefited greatly from their donation of time, resources, and international affiliations for countless Vail Valley events, organizations and causes. In return, they have asked for little. It should be noted, as well, as that a number of our local residents have benefited from the services provided by the Betty Ford Center, which will be the beneficiary of the funds raised at the upcoming dinner. Our final decision to support the Ford function served as a compromise between the event organizers` request, which totaled $7,000, and no contribution whatsoever. After much consideration, the Towns of Uail and Avon decided to split the donation, contributing $3,500 each. Let me emphasize that much consideration went into the final decision on this matter. Though the Town's view on this issue differs from yours, we appreciate your input. Sincerely, J Kent R.

REC4s JAN 1 7 1990 To the Mayor and Vail Town Council: We would like to express our opinion that using tax dollars to purchase tickets for a fund-raising gala who's parent organization is not located within the state or county is inappropriate and has set precidence for other such requests. Our objection is not,as Pepi Grammshammer said "complaining and want everything for ourselves...and not wanting to give anything back..." but rather than set a precidence, an appeal should have been made to private sources who feel that the Town of Vail should be represented at the Betty Ford Dinner. Many of us have contributed countless hours as volunteers and have given much back to the town. We feel that our tax dollars should be used within the town,and in an emergency, within the County and Nation. As our elected offcials we felt it incumbent upon ourselves to let you know how we feel about your decision. Sincerely, ~%~/~ G'lda and Wern Kaplan 1/16/90 REC'r JAN 2 5 19~ HARVEY B.

BOX 2459 SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS 6270 5-245 9 My family and I recently spent four days in Vail as part of a summer vacation in Colorado, and one of the highlights of the trip was the performance by the Gore Range Brass Quintet. We purchased a number of the Quintet's tapes but they were recently misplaced; and in an attempt to replace them, I contacted the Quintet and requested that they forward replacement tapes. In the process of attempting to contact the Quintet, I learned that they would not be performing in Vail this summer. Unlike photographs, the tapes continually remind us of the memorable time we spent there. I would, in fact, return for the express purpose of listening to the Gore Range Brass Quintet. I heartily recommend that the Town of Vail again add the Gore Range Brass Quintet to its list of attractions for the upcoming summers. Many friends have requested how they can obtain tapes of the Quintet and as a result look forward to hearing the Quintet during their trips to Colorado. Thank you for your time and consideration.

We were lucky to broaden our base of support here at the main office during the year, having the services of two former CLUB 20 presidents, Governor John Vander- hoof and Bill Cleary, in addition to our new president, Greg Watcher. The organization "hit the road" in 1989 like never before and covered a lot of terri- tory. As a result, I believe more people know about CLUB 20 and the impor- tance of sticking together and working toward common solutions. CLUB 20 visited (at least once, and in some cases many times) every single county in our territory during this year. I personally spoke to several service clubs and chambers, and participated in numerous meetings related to important West Slope issues. We managed to re-organize several of our standing committees during the year, and thereby get many people directly involved in activities of the group. The Transportation Committee began work on several highway issues which will be high on our priority list for many years. The group includes repre- sentatives from 11 counties and a broad range of experience on highway issues. We put together a Tourism Committee composed of board members from both West Slope Travel Regions, and began the process of eliminating duplication of effort among tourism promoters. It's an everyday We give you the newsy in Club 2Q territory. T/?@ k ~M~ -~~ ~a~~ entinel' @4 ;: ~.: ~:~ ~ r '~ ~.

Our new Aviation Committee is in the process of working solutions to our air service problems. The possibilities are limitless for promotions and economic development once we get all our com- munities connected by air. And, of course, we created our broad-based Economic Development Committee in what I think was one of the greatest political victories for the Western Slope in my recent memory ... the re-opening of the Governor's Western Slope Economic Development Office. After some budget cuts, as you will recall, the office was closed down, and we all came together as Western Slopers and worked out a solution which benefits us all. It was a rare display of absolute unity among our communities, and the result was terrific. The office was re-opened, a new person hired to keep our communities in touch .with economic development opportunities, and our new panel began functioning as a West Slope Advisory Committee for the Governor. I think the system is better than what we had before, because we are part of the decision-making process more than ever on decisions which affect the future of our communities. Beyond that, the victory represents the best possible example of what happens when people work together instead of against each other. The Western Slope is small in population, but we hold the great resources our state depends upon for its economy, its tourism, its place on the map. And if we work together and agree on what we want to do, there is no stopping us. That remains the purpose of CLUB 20, nearly 40 years after its founding. We need to continue to work hard to resolve problems and make this organization work for us all. I believe we made some major progress in 1989 and I was honored to have been a part of it. I hope to continue doing all I can to contribute to this kind of harmony in the future, too. Because when you get right down to the bottom line (as a business- man Ithink in those terms), this kind of West Slope unity has NEVER been more important than it will be in the 1990's. The challenges we face are great, the solutions difficult, and strength in numbers our only hope for answers. So I encourage you to work hard to con- tinue the CLUB 20 tradition of excellence in the coming years. GULLIFORD TO ADDRESS CLUB 20 Dr. Andrew Gulliford, one of the premier historians and photographers of the West, will be the keynote speaker at CLUB 20's 37th annual meeting in Grand Junction February 10. Dr. Gulliford has written extensively about the history of the West, in addition to photographing many historic sites and compiling oral histories which have earned him numerous awards. He lived in Silt, Colorado from 1976 to 1983 and still owns a home there. During those years he taught history at Colorado Mountain College in Rifle, as well as grade school. He is the author of Garfield County, Colorado: The First 100 Years (1983), published by the Grand River Museum Alliance. He also wrote the highly acclaimed book about one-room school houses, America's Country Schools (1984), published by the National Trust for Historic Preserva- tion. He served as a consultant to ABC TV's 20/20 on one-room schools as a result of this work. Dr. Gulliford has done extensive research on the Western Slope's history, and his photographs and oral histories are in collections at the Museum of Western Colorado in=Grand Junction, the Garfield County Public Library, and the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library. In 1977 he co- produced "The Years Ahead: Life for the Aging in Northwest Colorado," sponsored by the Colorado West Area Council of Governments and funded by the Colorado Endowment for the Humanities. It was aired on Grand Junc- tion television and has been distributed for meetings many times. Twelve years of research has resulted in his new book, Boomtown Blues: Oil Shale in Colorado, 1885-1985, published this month by University Press of Colo- rado. The book describes in detail a hundred years of boom-and-bust cycles on the Western Slope. A portion of the book is to appear in a forthcoming issue of Legacy: Journal of the Museum of Western Colorado. Dr. Gulliford will address CLUB 20 on the subject of boom-bust cycles, in our past and perhaps our future. He has some interesting and enlightening, if controversial, thoughts on how we should avoid the mistakes which caused previous recessions. Although he does not place the entire blame for the prob- lems of the past on West Slope residents, he does believe we can avoid future cycles of that kind. He has had articles, essays and photographs published in American Heritage, American Quarterly, Colorado Magazine,'Education Times, Education Weekly, The Chicago Tribune, The Rocky Mountain News, Christian Science Monitor, History News, Historic Preser- vation, Journal of American Culture, Journal of the West, New Mexico Magazine, Small School Forum, and Small Town. His oral histories have also been aired on National Public Radio and Voice of America: He has received numerous awards and has spoken extensively. In 1987 he gave the keynote address at the Rural Education Sym- posium in Washington, D.C. CLUS 20 MEETING TO FOCUS ON NE~1/ ISSUES The 37th Annual Meeting of CLUB 20, to be held February 9 and 10 in Grand Junction, will focus on several new issues and plow some new ground for CLUB 20. The keynote speaker, for the first time, will be a historian and author, Dr. Andrew Gulliford, who has just published his latest book on the history of .boom-and-bust cycles on the Western Slope. He has some thought-provoking comments on how we might avoid such cycles in the future. The session will open on Saturday, February 9, with an update on the federal highway program from Donald W. Maness, Regional Director of the Highway Users Federation. The entire federal highway program expires at the end of this year, and Congressional reauthorization poses several threats, and opportunities, for the Western Slope. Next attendees will hear from Dr. William Hamilton and Dr. Ray Kieft, presi- dents of Western State and Mesa State Colleges. They will tell the latest about their institutions' roles and missions, recent changes, and thoughts about the near future. Following their presentations, Mr. Jim Smith, Colorado Vice President and CEO of U S West Communications, will close the loop with CLUB 20 on an issue of longstanding importance. At the last Fall Meeting in September, CLUB 20's Board passed a resolution strongly supporting the upgrades of outdated rural phone switching systems. Since that time, the Public Utilities Commission has approved the proposal, and Smith will describe the plans in detail, as well as mentioning a couple other coming issues. Next the meeting will focus on Congres- sional re-apportionment in Colorado, and the possibilities for the 3rd Congressional District. Speakers are two of our own who have been through the trenches on this before. Ex-Congressman Ray Kogovsek will describe the 1980 re-apportionment process, as the first member to represent the district as it is now drawn. Ex-governor John Vanderhoof will talk about the 1970 process, in which the Western Slope was split into two districts, both represented by Front Range Congressmen. The session will be moderated by our current Congressman, Ben Nighthorse Campbell, who will offer his own thoughts on the subject as well. Gulliford will address the luncheon session, followed by Mr. Robert Moore, new State Director of the Bureau of Land Management. He started his assignment on January 1, replacing the retired Neil Morck, and many CLUB 20 members are anxious to get acquainted with him. The meeting will then split into three "break-out" sessions on our three natbnal monuments. Attendees may listen to whichever of the three meetings are of most interest to them and hear the latest proposals and controversies about the Black Canyon, Colorado Nafiona! Monu- ment, and Dinosaur. Speakers will include representatives of the National Park Service and the BLM, and audience participation will be encouraged. Next, the latest trends in American political opinion on key issues, parties and candidates will be chronicled by Bill Mclnturff, Senior Research Associate for the Wirthlin Group. The company, head- quartered in Washington, D.C., does extensive national polling every month. His non-partisan speech will focus on the shifts they see in opinions and offer some advice for candidates of both parties. Finally, a panel of our newspaper publishers will talk about what they see as the most crucial issues facing the Western Slope during the 1990's, and how they see CLUB 20 reacting to them. A brief recep- tion will follow. Be sure to make your reser- vations early for this meeting. The Board meets Friday, February 9 at the CLUB 20 office, 634 Main Street, and the General Membership meeting, Saturday, February 10, will be at the Grand Junction Holiday Inn. CLUB 20 TO HOST BUSINESS-EDUCATION SUMMIT In association with West Central Colorado UniServ, CLUB 20 is sponsoring the first in a series of Business-Education Summit Conferences Saturday, February 17 at the Grand Junction Hilton. The purpose of the Summit is to bring together business leaders, elected officials and educators in a meaningful dialogue about restructuring our educational system to meet the needs of our communities. Maureen Kallio, who chairs WCCU, said "this Summit is a historic opportunity to engage in an open, free- wheeling discussion regarding business and education partner- ships. We need to discuss ideas which wi11 truly benefit the students we work with each day." The event, scheduled from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, will provide business leaders and elected officials with a rare opportunity to talk directly with classroom teachers about our school system. Problems can be freely aired and potential solutions mentioned. And it will provide teachers with direct access to-such business leaders, which is rare, The hope is that workable solutions can be found which will help our schools provide the Western Slope with a .top-quality, employable labor force. CLUB 20 President Greg Walcher said that, if the conference is as successful as hoped, it will become the first in a series of such Summits to be held throughout the Western Slope. The specific agenda, including speakers and registration information, will be announced in the next few days. BUSINESS-EDUCATION PARTNERSHIPS Helping to forge business-education partnerships is high on the list of CLUB 20 agenda items for the 1.990's. The realization has grown in recent years that the business community should become more involved in the school system, and CLUB 20 is in a unique position to help lead the process. It has several plans along this line. Initially, a series of Business-Education Summit Conferences are planned across the Western Slope to strategize with leaders from business, government, and the schools. The first such Summit will be held in Grand Junction February 17, in conjunction with the West Central Colorado UniServ Unit. CLUB 20 President Greg Walcher has also been appointed to the Task Force on Creating Partnerships. The State Educa- tion Department has created the group from around the State to help plan, encourage, and recognize such partnership programs. CLUB 20 is also hosting an awards dinner for Vocational- Technical Education Excellence on February 12. The Economic Development Committee is acting as the selection committee for the federal awards, which recognize the best student, teacher, business, organization, and partnership effort in the area's vocational education programs. The organization plans to devote substantial time and effort to the business-education area in the next few months.

The old plan to complete Inter- state 66 across the United States has been resurrected and is receiving an enormous amount of recent attention in the news media, after the mayor of Wichita, Kansas began spear- heading anew campaign. Mayor Bob Knight is leading the charge to seek approval of the new highway. It would con- nect with the existing section of Interstate 66 from Washington, D.C. to the Blue Ridge Moun- tains, then continue through Lex- ington, Kentucky..; Cape Girar- deau, Missouri; Wichita, Kansas; Lamar, Puebla and Durango; then on through Las Vegas to the plains of southern California. The proposed route would pass through the Western Slope by way of Wolfcreek Pass. The new effort was started about a year ago at an economic meeting in Missouri. Business leaders expressed the need for a better East-West route through Cape Girardeau, parallel between Inter- states 40 and 70. Doyle . David- son, Executive Vice President of the National Highway 50 Federa- tion, said the Federation is also interested in the plan, as it has previously supported four-laning Highway 50 across the nation. Some discussion of the plan has already taken place in the Durango City Council, and already some environmental con- cerns are being raised, especially at the prospect of an Interstate Highway over Wolfcreek. The Interstate 66 Project lobbying group is trying to per- suade Congress to fund a $5 million study of the project's feasibility, but thus far, there has been no sign that Congress is interested in expanding the nation's Interstate Highway System. CLUB 20's own High- way Committee is examining the proposal closely and plans to recommend a position to the organization later this year. SCENIC BYWAYS INCLUDE WEST SLOPE TRIPS The Colorado Highway Com- mission has selected -the first five of its designated Scenic and Historic Byways, and two of them are Western Slope tours. The San Juan Skyway, which has been designated by the U.S. Forest Service as a National Scenic Byway, is at the top of the Highway Commis- sion's list. An article highlighted this particular trip in the May/June 1989 issue of Colo- rado West (Vol. 4, No. 3). It includes the famed Million- Dollar Highway over Red Moun- tain, as well as the beauty of Dallas Divide. The towns of Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride, Rico, Stoner, Dolores, Cortez and Mancos are on the route. Also designated by the High- way Commission is the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, among the most treasured gems of the CLUB 20 territory. It encompasses Engineer and Cinnamon Passes between Lake City and Ouray. Travelers over this majestic mountain route reach an altitude of 12,600' on Cinnamon Pass and 12,850' on Engineer Mountain. The route was designated a Scenic Backcountry Byway by the Bureau of Land Management. i o 1Vorth txth Street Gran Junctio CO 81501 Ph (30 ) 245- 749 Help spread the word that people looking for the most beautiful drives on Earth need to look no further than the Western Slope! ~iness Ne etters, S ionary, Cards, 6c Flyers Business & Resumes, Sales Literature ® VI/estern Slo a Si Hats ~~~~vE ~ p g ~- o ISSUE XIX The decade of the 90's should be economically successful for western Colorado. Business conditions are much better now than most experts anticipated, especially after the severe economic downturns at the beginning of the last decade. The 1990's will be the proving ground for all of the economic develop- ment programs, tourism marketing plans and other projects that Western Slope towns have devised to ensure that this area remains an economically viable and pleasant place to live. This edition of Signals touches briefly on many programs and industries important to western Colorado now and in the future. How will these businesses look in ten years? Will they grow? Will they be joined by others? Will they cease to exist? Will the economy continue to diver- sify? What role wilt tourism, agriculture, manufactur- ing and natural resource development play in our economy in ten years? What will it look like here in ten years? How do we want it to be? THE NEXT SEQUEL? -SEQUEL SOFTWARE, INC. officials in DURANGO have recorded a 320% increase in sales of their sewn products over the last two years. "We provide quality products manufactured entirely in our Durango facility, " states company founder Jermiah St. Ours. "We have the expertise to meet the demands of our customers regardless of whether the products are used for recreational or com- mercial purposes. "About 60% of the company's pro- duction is cold weather, outdoor wear popular with hikers, mountain climbers and cross-country skiers. The products are sold via mail order catalogue and by 200 dealers in the United States and Canada. The firm does not make downhill ski wear, but they do create custom uniforms for numerous ski areas and other commercial operations. "Sixty percent of our production is for the recreational market, 40% for the commercial market. The 60%-40% balance helps maintain a steady cash flow, "comments St. Ours. .The U. S. government buys a substantial amount of specialized clothing and luggage from Sequel. "Some of the bags we have made are used to cant' high tech things like lasers, "observes St Ours. Sequel also makes protective suits for people engaged in space exploration and in hazardous jobs requiring protec- tion from heat, cold, and chemicals. The plant is bulging at the seams with the current employee base of 16. If they had more room; St Ours indicates it would expand to an employee base of 40. "We are looking /or a way to expand and stay in Durango, "says St Ours. "I am solicited every week by people who want to help businesses relocate. This location is great for the type of clothing we produce. Durango connotes an outdoor attitude and environ- ment. " Sequel's other problem besides space has been hiring and keeping good employees. SG Ours explains, "We cannot afford much turnover because of the time and money d takes to train a seamstress. lNe use train- ing programs, but they cannot keep up with our needs. Our want ads sometimes go unanswered for weeks. There is a limited labor force in Durango. If we were to relocate out of the area, one of the reasons would be to find a larger labor pool. " St Ours urges economic development groups to take a good, close look at what is already in a community so that its actions do not hurt an established business. "New jobs are not the only way a community can be helped, "comments St Ours. "Durango is a good example, " he continues. "The Durango EDC was "Economic development committees need to create an environment con- ducive to business so existing, suc- cessful local businesses can create more jobs. " Jeremiah St. Ours Founder Sequel Software wooing a manufacturer of golfing apparel We cannot get enough workers for our current operation. Neither can Fiji Wear, another apparel factory in town. Where was this new company going to Lind workers?" St. Ours states, "Economic development commit- tees could help local, successful businesses by creating an environment that is conducive to business. As an example, most of our workers are women who need day care services for their children.. We would love to help Lund a day care center here in the industrial park as would some other tenants, but we do not have time to organize and create the center on our own. The EDC or city could help spearhead a project like that. " St. Ours got interested in sewing when his equip- mentkept "blowing out" in his job as a park ranger. He borrowed a machine and began making gaiters he sold to friends in 1982. The sewing became full time in 1985 when St. Ours borrowed money from his parents and used his savings to begin produc- tion. "One reason we have not grown as fast as we could have is my insistence that we stay out of debt, " says SL Ours. "The business was named Seque% "says St. Ours because "it represents the next step or next genera- tion of design and clothing from today's market " It will be interesting to see what Sequel's sequel will be. MAKING WALLS - A large building visible from I-70 in GYPSUM is attracting attention. The $11 million structure is the future home of EAGLE- GYPSUM PRODUCTS, a wallboard manufacturer. The plant will utilize gypsum from a mine owned by one of the firm's partners, Eagle-Gypsum, Ltd. The other participant in the project is Eagle Investment Group Limited Partners. Hiring of the 70 to 90 workers needed for the plant and increaed produc- tion at the mine will take place this spring when the building is complete. Construction of the plant is one reason Eagle County tallied a record year in 1989 for the number of building permits issued and the valuation of new buildings. TOOLING UP - A three year recruitment effort paid off for the town of MEEKER. Officials o! the LynMar Tool Company will be moving into a new 15,000 square foot building this month. The principals in the Carson, Cali/ornia company, three brothers with the last name of Griffin, grew up in Colorado, relates director of the Meeker Economic Development Com- mittee, Joe Holeyfield. "The Gritlins came hunting in Colorado all the time. In 1986, they became interested in the possibility of moving their business to Meeker, " says Holeyfield. The /irm specializes in making tools to drill non-standard size holes /or various applica- tions. The bulk o/their work is used in the construc- tion of aircraft. Two local banks came up with a $200,000 county-guaranteed loan for the move. Severance tax money along with EDC monies helped fund the deal, says Holeyfield. The EDC owns the $300,000 building and will /ease it to LynMar The company will get three years rent free plus other tax breaks and incentives. Training programs for workers are being set up through Northwest Community College and Colorado Mountain College. Holeyfield says he has been told there will eventually be 25-35 employees at the plant. "It's the perfect type of business for Meeker," says Holeyfield. "LynMar is small enough that the city and county can handle the gradual impact and benefit from the salaries and training the business will provide. " ROCK THAT STILL BURNS -Congress has approved $1 million to be used this year to conduct engineering studies for the eventual re-opening of the OCCIDENTAL OIL SHALE facility at the C-B Tract (Cathedral Bluffs) in RIO BLANCO COUNTY. According to director of the Northwest Region Council of Governments, Jim Evans, Occidental will also be contributing about $1 million to the research facility in the next year. "Besides exploring different ways of conducting a modified in situ operation below ground," says Evans, "methods of extracting oil from the shale that is removed for the shafts are also being examined. About 10%-20% of the shale ends up on the surface after the retorts are dug." Scientists hope to use some kind of fluidized bed to burn spent shale and coal to produce the energy eventually needed to run the 1,200-barrel-a-day operation. Other com- panies could be involved in the testing of recovery technologies. Evans states that $10 million is being sought from Congress this year to start construction of the research facility. Matching funds would come from Occidental with the state and other entities also con- tributing. Evans comments, "Occidental's ten year projection of the oil situation indicates that prices will once again rise to the point where the cost per barrel of oil will be enough to sustain a small operation like Cathedral Bluffs." Most of the engineering for the project is being done in Texas and Utah, but Evans believes the project could impact the local labor scene in 1991 if construction funds are granted. LOT OF GAS - A natural gas pipeline from the Piceance Basin to Durango will be constructed in the next two years by WestGas and Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Company. WestGas is a subsidiary of Public Service and Rocky Mountain is a subsidiary of KN Energy, Inc. The company formed for purposes of construction of the pipeline is called TransColorado Gas Transmission. The bulk of the natural gas car- ried in the line would be sold to Cali/ornia unless market conditions change dramatically Durango's WestGas manager, BiII Durham, comments that gas could move either north or south out of Colorado ro the marketplace. ~rmitting and right-of-way negotia- tions have begun along the route of the multi-million dollar line. tNestGas just finished constructing an $71.5 million, COZ compressor station and extraction plant near Durango. The Arkansas Loop Compressor station is removing carbon dioxide and water from natural gas being mined by ARCO from the coal seams in the San Juan Basin. "A COz extraction plant for gas being produced north of MACK is being considered by the lh~stGas Board of Directors this month, "states More Western Slope Signals Mel Lyon, a supervising engineer for WestGas MERIDIAN OIL is finishing up a $30 million pipeline project in the San Juan Basin. Over 300 miles of pipe were installed to carry natural gas from the more than 400 coal seam wells Meridian intends to drill. WATTS HAPPENING? - "We are serving more customers now in Public Service's western sector than we ever were during the boom years early in this decade," reports Jim Fleming of Public Service's Grand Junction office. The utility topped 80,000 customers recently. "A lot of the resurge in activity is coming from people moving into vacant dwellings," says Fleming. "But, we have seen continual growth since the market bottomed out for us in August of 1986." Public Service plans to spend $2.5 million in 1990 to continue upgrading their main electrical line in the Grand Valley from 69 Kilovolts to 230 Kilovolts. The upgrade has cost $22 million so far. The loop will be finished in 1992. In addition to the power line project, the utility plans a $9.5 million budget for 1990 and will maintain its workforce of 130 fulltime employees. UPWARDS AND ONWARDS - U S West will spend S85.4 million from 1991-1993 to replace outdated switching systems in rural communities with state- of-the-art digital equipment. Over 84 communities will receive modernized service as a result of the upgrades. Installation o/ the equipment in STEAM- BOAT SPRINGS will start in September for 6,400 customers and 30,000 visitors. The new system will provide taster and more efficient local calling, and special calling features. The customer will have equal access to the long distance toll network no matter which vendor they choose. The Public Utilities Com- mission ruled in December that U S West can recover the cost of the investment through small incremental monthly changes beginning in 1992. When the switch upgrade is complete, all of/ices in Colorado will have enhanced service capabilities. FISH FUNDS -Almost $1 million could be spent in 7990 on the improvement of fishing on the Western Slope it total funding from the federal government is forthcoming for "Fishing Is Fun" grants. The money comes from tax revenues associated with the sale of fishing equipment and is administered by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The state and local communities must pay at least one quarter of the project costs. The following is a list.of the approved projects, their total costs and a brief description: • STEAMBOAT SPRINGS -The Federal Govern- ment is being asked for $150,000 of a $200,000 grant to purchase 1.7 miles of the Yampa River bank to allow more public fishing. • DELTA -The city wants $337,200 to continue their Confluence Park project. The lake at the junction of the Gunnison and Uncompahgre Rivers is under con- struction now with a $120,000 fishing grant received in 1989. The new money would provide restroom facilities, a trail around the lake, parking lot, bridge and other access. More than $1.1 million in grants have been leveraged so far to transform the 270 acres of former sewage lagoons. A $600,000 Depart- ment of Commerce grant is being used to build an industrial park on 80 of the acres. • EAGLE -Officials plan to spend $122,340 for a project to improve access and amenities on a 1.5 mile stretch of the Eagle River. The amenities include a boat ramp, trail, restrooms, parking and a bridge over the river. • DOLORES - Two foot bridges, restrooms accessible to the handicapped, a trail and parking tot are part of a $71,000 project. The town will pro- vide apublic easement to the Dolores River to assure access. • NEWCASTLE - $55,743 would be used to build a boat ramp, a trail, restrooms, a parking lot and road access to the Colorado River. • ERASER -Improvement of fish habitat and fishing access along 2.5 miles of the Fraser River are part of a $53,500 project. Also planned are foot bridges and a half mile of trail. • GUNNISON COUNTY -Officials want to print and distribute 75,000 fishing guides for the waters in the Gunnison River Basin at a cost of $32,456. • WEST DIVIDE WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT - $88,000 is being sought to expand the size of Asbury Reservoir 30 miles north of Silt to eight acres. Expansion of the lake on East Divide Creek would allow fish to winter there and reproduce, help- ing to fulfill a need for more fishing opportunities in the Silt area. • SILT - A boat ramp, parking lot and path on the Colorado River are part of an $18,061 project. Backers feel 1,000 boats a year would use the ramp once it is built. • PLANNED ECONOMIC PROGRESS, INC. -This coalition of governments in the North Fork Valley and Delta County plan to produce a fishing guide and maps at an estimated cost of $15,600. Since the Fishing Is Fun program started in 1987, nearly $2.4 million has been granted to Colorado communities. Several Western Slope communities have been selected to participate in various rural economic development programs. According to Department o/ Local Affairs spokesman in Grand Junction, Tim Sarmo, communities submitted plans to the state and then were se/eted to participate in a program that would be the most beneficial to their needs. The pro- gram include: Colorado Initiatives Project, the Kellogg Foundation Leadership Grants, Rural Downtown Development and Rural Tourism. To be selected for the Initiatives program, com- munities must have clearly identified the goals, selected a project and need specialized, intensive. technical assistance. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs oversees the program with technical help from the University of Colorado and monetary grants from U S WEST The 1990 Initiative Projects include: - MEEKER -Officals are seeking help to develop a senior marketing program to attract retirees from the Sun Belt to spend the summers in cool Meeker; - LEADVILLE -Architectural help is being sought to improve the National Mining Hall of Fame. Officials also hope to develop tourism for the Leadville area; - GRAND LAKE -Participants in the Grand Lake project feel more tourists would spend additional time in their town i/ they could see the lake or have easier access to it. Access to the lake front will be improved and signs put in place to make location of the lake from the highway easier; - OAK CREEK -The town participants hope to improve their downtown park to use it and other attractions in the area like Stagecoach Reservoir to attract special events; - DEL NORTE -Officials hope to revitalize their business district and make a local attraction out of the Whittsitt House, one of the oldest hotels in Colorado. - HUERFANO COUNTY -Establishment of a visdors center and designation of a "scenic highway of legends" is the goal of the Initiatives project. U S WEST awarded $100, 000 to eight 1989 Initiative Projects in December Almost 80% or $79, 500 was granted to six Western Slope projects. The largest grant was $25,000 given to the city of DELTA. The money will be used to partially fund construction of a horse show arena. Delta's Initiatives project seeks to attract horse related tourism and relocations. GRAND COUNTY and the UNCOMPAHGRE RIVER- WAY Project each received $75,000 from U S West. Both entities are building river paths. The money will be used in Grand County for a map of the "Head- waters Trail" along the Fraser River. The Uncom- pahgre grant will be used for trail construction. The pathway will eventually link al! the towns on the Uncompahgre River The LA PLATA COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY will use their $9, 700 grant to partially fund the first phase of restoration of the county's museum. IGNACIO officials plan to use their $8,800 grant for creation of two small parks on Highway 172 in an effort to tempt visitors to spend more time in Ignacio. RANGELY also hopes to guide more people to their town and attractions with their "Entrance Project. "The $6,000 Initiatives grant will be used for an irrigation system that will serve atown- wide bike path and walking trail. Signs and landscap- ing will highlight the highway entrance to town. U S WEST has awarded $430,000 to 38 projects in rural areas as part of their participation in the Initiatives program over the last four years. The Kellogg Froundation grants are administered in conjunction with the University of Colorado. The grants provide leadership and technical training which enables local participants to examine their surround- ings, pick viable projects to solve their problems and then follow through to find funds or grants to realize their goals. The 1990 western Colorado participants include: DOLORES, NUCLA, CRAWFORD, LaVETA and ANTONITO. Technical assrstance in the tourism area will be given to the lollowing western Colorado projects: - MOFFAT COUNTY -will fake the next step in marketing Moffat County with an "Outlaw Country" theme. That theme was picked as the result of a series of meetings in Moffat County asking for citizen input. - EAGLE -Expects to prepare an operation plan and develop skills to construct avisitors' in/ormation center and museum. - DURANGO - fs looking for technical assistance to market and promote the World Championship Mountain Bike races. - SILVERTON -Would like to identify ways to get drivers off Highway 550 to increase the number of winter stays and help find a site for a performing arts and visual arts center. - SOUTHWEST TOURISM REGION -Will receive a technical evaluation of their current promotional efforts. Three Western Slope communities will get technical help with downtown plans. The towns include: - MONTROSE - An evaluation will be made of the old Safeway store to see i/ it would be feasible to turn the building into a combined tourist center, chamber of commerce and children's museum; - CORTEZ - A plan to remodel the second floor of the current city visitors' center to allow the presen- tation of lectures will be devised; - ALAMOSA -Plans will be drawn to refurbish an existing band shell in the city park as part of a downtown revitalization project. FIRST IN THE WORLD - DURANGO will be the site of the first sanctioned WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MOUNTAIN BIKE RACES. Over 1,500 competitors from 20 different countries are expected for the inaugural event to be held September 11-16. Patty McCarthy, spokeswoman for the organizing commit- tee, says, "There have been other world races, but this is the first to be recognized as the champion- ship event by the U. S. Cycling Federation and the Union Cyclists International. Durango was picked over two other U.S. sites because of our 18 year history of putting on mountain bike races and our location which is easy to reach." Durango has hosted the Iron Horse Classic which attracts a similar number of participants. There will be $60,000 in prize money distributed among the many events. The preliminary races are open to any rider. There will also be citizen races in conjunction with the event. Says McCarthy, "The real winner is Durango. We will receive national and international publicity. All of the participants and spectators will be contributing to the local economy while they are here." The Colorado Legislature is considering two bills by Western Slope lawmakers Senator Tillie Bishop and Representative Dan Williams; the measures would use bike license revenues to fund a state-wide system of bike trails and pedestrian paths. Comment and support are being sought now for the measures. Written by Linda Skinner ~ ~~ ~xi~a~ 't~.% .; ~ K CLUB 20 has called for a change in the hearing process of the Colorado Highway Commission which would involve a regularly scheduled annual meeting of the full Commission on the Western Slope. President Greg Walcher testified before the Commission in Denver December 20 to make the pro- posal. It would be a slight change in a hearing process which is itself less than a year old. In previous years, the Commission had an annual meeting in Grand Junc- tion, which was attended by county commissioners from across the West Slope. Each county made presentations to the Commission, but was left without much idea about their success until decisions were announced much later. In 1989, following the work of Commis- sioner Karl Mattlage (District 6 - Steam- boat Springs), a new system was adopted. Under the new hearing process, indi- vidual commissioners meet separately with each county, then the counties in their respective regions come together to determine district priorities. Commis- sioners then meet in Denver and explain to each other the priorities for highway funding in their districts. Walcher praised the new process, but pointed out that something important had been lost. "Although our com- munities are pleased to be able to sit down with a commissioner one-on-one, they're meeting with their own Highway Commissioner. It's like preaching to the choir. What is needed is the chance to make our case to the full Commission, including commissioners from the Front Range and from other districts around the State." The Western Slope is covered by three members of the Highway Com- mission, Mattlage, Commission Chair- COLORADO ROCKIES ADAM'S RIB HUNTING RANCH man Russell E. Yates of Durango, and former CLUB 20 President William H. Cleary of Grand Junction. Walcher told the Commission that these commis- sioners "are not the problem. They already know our road problems, but we need to be able to show others who may be less familiar with our situation." CLUB 20 proposed that the new hear- ing process be left intact, but that an annual meeting on the West Slope of the FULL Highway Commission be added to the process. He told Commis- sioners that CLUB 20 was prepared to host such a meeting, because it gives the Western Slope communities a chance to agree altogether on Slope- wide priorities for funding. Such unanimous agreement among com- munities on the Slope was the founding issue of CLUB 20 in 1953. Walcher said he is optimistic about the chances of the proposal being accepted by the Commission, since several members indicated their support. Cleary also made a statement on the subject to his fellow commis- sioners urging support for the idea, as did Yates and Mattlage. CLUB 20 also emphasized to the Commission in its statement the import- ance of several specific highway pro- jects on the Slope. Included were 4laning Highway 82 from Carbondale to Aspen, widening Highway 50 from Delta to Grand Junction, improvements to Highway 40 in Hayden and to Wolf- creek Pass, rebuilding the intersection of Highway 91 and Interstate 70 in Summit County, and improving Highway 135 from Gunnison to Crested Butte, as well as separating the railroad from Highway 6 in Avon. CLUB 20 plans a busier than ever year for its Transportation Committee, not just to address this issue, but several other important highway matters. Two specific items have been mentioned as requiring the attention of the group. First, the matter of traffic counts and their accurate reflection of a particular highway's importance to the State. The issue-was raised during the first talks by a new coalition working on four-laning Highway 50 from Delta to Grand Junc- tion. The State's current system for counting traffic on such highways simply counts axles. The problem is that such counts do not take into consideration -and can- not do so -the type of vehicles involved. For example, if a large portion of the vehicles using Highway 50 are large trucks carrying the supplies vital to keeping the West Slope economy moving ...and if another road's traffic is essentially made up of small cars with one passenger each ... the current system cannot distinguish a difference in the relative importance of the two roads. The Transportation Committee will be discussing potential solutions over the next few months. Second, the national highway pro- gram expires in 1991 and the process of Congressional reauthorization poses several threats -and opportunities - to the Western Slope. Discussion is already beginning to focus on the gasohol exemption, a subsidy which takes money away from the Highway Trust Fund. Current clean air efforts are leading officials more toward blended fuels, and the danger of even more reductions in available highway funding could result. A number of related highway issues will be part of the ongoing debate on a new federal highway program, and CLUB 20 will remain a force at the table in such debates during 1990.

KOI~OPELLI'S TRAIL - TO REGIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Guest Column: By Timms R. Fowler - Kokopelli's Trail and other mountain-bike routes are being marketed as destination attrac- tions by tour companies in Salt Lake, Moab and Grand Junction! - COPMOBA has received an award from the National Di- rector of the BLM! Kokopelli's Trail and creation of the Colorado Plateau Mountain-Bike Trail System were only dreams a year ago. Today, this 128 mile mountain-bike trail between Grand Junction and Moab is a rea{ity and creation of this vast regional system is well under way. The projects' goals are to enhance local outdoor recreation, create a destination attraction for mountain bikers, and promote wise land use. Kokopelli's Trail is the result of the efforts of the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service, and an enthusiastic group of "doers -not reviewers" in Grand Junction and Moab. These volunteers are now organized as the Colorado Plateau Mountain-Bike Trail Assoc., Inc. (COPMOBA). COPMOBA be- lieves mountain biking is one of many great ways to enjoy these unique lands while preserving them. Also, mountain biking will enhance and unite our communities and create economic development through tourism which is consistent. with the unique quality of life on the Colorado Plateau. BLM did a fantastic job, and with the positive energy of COPMOBA's volunteers, much has been accom- plished since December 1988: - In 6 months, the trail was con- ceived of, named, routed, mapped, marked, and MAR- KETED by COPMOBA and BLM (primarily existing Jeep roads were used which remain open to motor vehicles and 11 miles of single track trail was built by hand). - Thanks to COPMOBA's spon- sors, 32,000 pieces of literature promoting the trail have been designed, produced and dis- tributed including free trail maps. Another 10,000 free maps are now being distributed. - Congress has appropriated $166,000 for further develop- ment of Kokopelli's Trail by the BLM! - Kokopelli's Trail has been widely covered by the media: Chan- nels 4 and 9 from Denver, KREX and KJCT TV in Grand Junction, the Denver Post, Rocky. Mountain News, Daily Sentinel, Salt Lake City Tribune, Mountain Bike Magazine and Bicycling Plus Mountain Bike ..Magazine. The first major expansion of the Colorado Plateau Mountain-Bike Trail System - a trail uniting Mont- rose and Grand Junction -will open in June, 1990. Bill Harris and the folks in Montrose are doing a fantastic job leading the way on this trail across the Uncompahgre Plateau. COPMOBA wants to add trails - segment by segment -uniting the communities and natural wonders of the Colorado Plateau: Aspen to Zion National Park and Chaco Canyon to Park City. This system may become recognized worldwide. Please join us and tie your community into the Colo- rado Plateau Mountain-Bike Trail System.

Although drivers often take the engineering marvel for granted today, it remains one of the greatest achievements of man in this Century. The tunnel has 28 television monitors, a complete sewage plant with a daily capacity of 72,000 gallons, a $70,000-a-month electric bill, 50 full-time employees work- ing in shifts around the clock, 28 ventilation fans which move 500,000 cubic feet of air per minute, legal residence in two counties, and its own fire truck. It is said that the tunnel saves motorists $3.90 each time they use it. The first bore of the tunnel was opened in 1973, and the second in 1979. The eastbound tunnel was named in honor of one of the Western Slope's greatest heroes, "Big Ed" Johnson, who served as Colorado Governor and U.S. Senator for over 20 years. Since the first bore opened, more than 80 million vehicles have driven through, including an average of 17,692 vehicles each day last year! The progress of each vehicle is monitored by the Highway Department staff. Over- head messages on 11 different signs instruct stranded motorists. to stay in their cars and sends one of two wreckers within minutes. The sign boards also warn drivers about weather conditions, speed limits, construction problems, acci- dents, or just about any dangerous situation. The tunnel depends upon 24,900 volts of electricity supplied in two lines from both ends. If power goes out in one, the other substitutes, and there is an on-site emergency DC generator for outages. Although such power outages are frequent, the traveling public is never aware of it because of the staff's ability to react instantly with the backup systems. The power is critical to the ventila- tion system. Public Health Service standards must be met at all times, and the 28 exhaust fans help accomplish this. Air quality is con- stantly monitored. An anomometer also monitors wind speed and informs attendants which way to ventilate. The operation of this man made "wonder of the world" costs about $3.4 million a year, of which about $1 million is the electric bill. But the savings to motorists both in travel costs and in emergency response more than offests the cost, accord- ing to the State Highway Department. It is easy to take such facilities for granted after constant use over a period of years, but the Eisen- hower Tunnel makes travel bet- ween the East and West Slopes tremendously easier, cheaper and more convenient than before. By the time the giant bores under the spine of America had been com- pleted adecade ago, $262 million had been spent and seven men had lost their lives. It stands today as the world's highest auto tunnel. COLORADO The American Automobile Asso- ciation (AAA) published its survey of the favorite vacation spots of its members, and the Colorado Rockies were rated third on the list of the top ten in the world. The study, published in the January/February issue of AAA World, lists the ten favorites of AAA members who have taken at least one vacation in the past year. 2400 such members were surveyed and asked to list the "most satisfying" vacation. Criteria included whether or not members would go back again, whether they would recom- mend aspot to a friend, specific things they enjoyed, and the cost of the vacation. Respondents were asked to rate their destinations on a scale of 100, considering the cost of the trip, and their level of enjoy- ment. Those ratings were then used to create what AAA calls a "vacation satisfaction score." The publciation mentions the top ten choices of AAA members, with the Colorado Rockies being nar- rowlyedged out only by Hawaii and Canada. It is, thus, the top vaca- tion spot in the continental United States in this survey. The ratings are based, of course, on the ' `satisfaction score," not on popularity in terms of attendance. But they are good news for the Western Slope, as home of the Colorado Rockies. Colorado Rockies received a score of 91 in the survey. Respondents listed sports and recreational activites, as well as scenery and the relaxing atmos- phere, as their favorite qualities. Nearly two-thirds of these respon- dents cited recreational activities (especially skiing and fishing) and the environment as the qualities which drew them here. Ninety-four percent mentioned the beautiful scenery, 91% said they intend to come back, and a similar number would recommend the Colorado Rockies to their friends.

At no time in the history of Western Colorado have the issues facing us been more com- plex and difficult, and at no time has the importance of working together been greater. This year promises to be among the most interesting and exciting in recent CLUB 20 history. To begin with, we plan to focus on several issues that hae~e not been a traditional part of the CLUB 20 repertoire, at least not with such a high priority. For example, there is a growing realization of the need for business and government leaders to get involved in our school system, and we plan to help do that. An article on the subject elsewhere in this newsletter outlines several of the specific programs already on {ine, and more are com- ing. Ihave been asked to sit on a special Task Force on Building Partnerships at the State Education Department, and it gives the Western Slope a chance to be in the ~saM peog a~s~uo.z~ q~nog SL TiEA 3o uMOy j i ouno0 uroZ pua aof Byy - Another example is what I see shaping up as one of the top priorities of the 1990's for the West Slope -water diversion issues. The "basin-of-origin" legislation has been introduced many times in some version, but got out of committee for the first time last year ... only to go down to overwhelming defeat in the State House. The lack of understanding on this important issue among some legislators is simply not acceptable to CLUB 20, and we must take part of the blame for not being more out front on the issue. Simply put, if water is to be diverted from any basin, the loss to the people who still have to live there must be mitigated somehow. That's point one. Point two is that the Icoal residents must be involved in deciding what that mitigation should be - compensatory storage, alternate funding, or whatever. For many years, it was thought that an entity which owned water rights could develop them NO MATTER WHAT. However, several recent events have changed the political landscape. First, the demise of the Two Forks project has created deep concern about the future of ANY water project, because the authority to make Colorado water decisions may have been irrevokably conceded to non- Coloradans. And water providers on the Front Range have a stronger incentive than ever before to build state-wide coalitions on such projects. Second, the Denver Water Board has gone to great lengths to extend an olive branch to the Western Slope. At the last meeting of CLUB 20 in September, they made it very clear that they seek a new spirit of cooperation ...which can only be good news for us. Third, the State Supreme Court's ruling on "1041 powers" for counties made it clear that the law does provide local residents with some measure of control over planning decisions in their communities, even if such decisions are based on long- approved water diversions. Fourth, the drought Colorado has suffered for several years (which shows no signs of improvement yet) has made more people aware of the diffi- culty of these water issues, and gives us a chance to focus increased attention on them. Perhaps this should be our message: that water diversions continue to represent a serious threat to our environment, our economy, and our quality of life, and that we simply must have something to say about the way such diversions are handled. Truly, the opportunities for helping shape our future are great, and we look forward to meeting the challenge head-0n in the 1990's. -- - -- -- MINUTES FROM THE VAIL VALLEY COMMUNITY TELEVISION BOARD MEETING January 10, 1990 7:30 AM Attendees: Bill Perkins Reggie O'Brien Brian Hall Jerry Davis REC'!J JAN 2 2 1990 Brian presented a proposal to have the studio equipment assembled into a functional television station and video production facility. The contractor will strive for optimization of existing equipment and additional purchases will be kept at a minimum, in order to create a technically correct and fully functioning facility. The proposed budget-for the project is $9,000 and was ratified by the Board. A budget is to be proposed for the Sunday interview show for production and talent. Current staff employees will be used for filming. A new show is being taped that is called "Marginally Incredible" and features people spending a few moments talking about issues that are very important to them and are not so important to the public. The show can be quite humorous when listening to the trivialness of the subject matter. The community response to the show has been very good, with a steady source of material (and talent) from the community. The WCTV is now filming the VA employee ski races. The approved budget allows for a total coverage of expenses and a surplus of a few hundred dollars to be earmarked for additional equipment purchases and future programming. There is an improvisational acting class that will be videoed, which will allow for feedback to the aspiring actors as well as offer more programming for the station. The instructor, now living in Boulder, is formerly of the comedy group - Second City from Chicago. It should prove to be entertaining. A schedule will be developed to film the Minturn Town Council meetings. The County Commissioners' Tuesday meetings will also be taped in order to offer the Upper Vail Valley the opportunity to monitor the sessions. i'c>t ;?`.ire ?i~.x l~:,i ti~aii. (;~~1t;raclo ~i16~,~ Page 2 WCTV Board Meeting January 10, 1990 Jerry Davis expressed some concern over the quality of first and second generation video that was being broadcast. Brian mentioned that a meter was in place that monitors the CH 23 broadcast signal. When the signal is outside of a prescribed set of parameters, it is easier to determine who is responsible (Heritage or the station) for the corrective action. Bill Perkins requested a press release be developed to inform the community about the two vacant board member positions. One position would be optimally filled by a Vail Town Council member and the other by a Vail Town resident, so that adequate representation of the community is maintained. Bill also mentioned a PSA that he would like to be broadcast. Jeane Noe is responsible for the ongoing channel's calendar of events. A Board retreat will be held on Saturday, January 13, 1990 at the WCTV offices, in lieu of traveling to Aspen. At that time, budgets will be discussed and formalized as will other management decisions with regard to policies and procedures, staffing and funding. The next board meeting will be held on January 24, 1990. cc: Bill James Ron Phillips Bill Sweeney VAIL INFORMATION BOOTH VISITORS STATISTICS Visitors Phone Calls Total Contacts Visitors Phone Calls Total Contacts LionsHead 1614 -47% 498 -48% 2112 -47% LionsHead **3035 959 3994 DECE""BER Month 198 9 Year Village 5714 +48% 1215 +55% 6929 +49% 19RR Year Village 3860 784 4644 Ma 11 2138 +7% 0 2138 +3% Mall 2004 *71 2075 Total 9466 +6% 1713 -6% 11,179 +4% Total 8899 1814 10,713 *Chamber Phone number given out by U.S. 'faest Information was LionsHead ^1a11's ° Booth number. **Village booth was under construction all of December 1988 and was closed Monday through Wednesday for three weeks.

We, too, are pleased that progress is being made to address our Valley's housing and recreation facility needs. Let me emphasize that, without the combined efforts of the Eagle County Commissioners and the Avon and Vail Town Councils, the purchase of the Edwards land and related planning would not be possible.. Though the Vail Town Council has .made the initial purchase of the property to preserve everyone's options, the joint effort of all three entities brought success to the negotiations. ~fhe land purchase effort, and subsequent planning for housing and recreation facilities, is a fine example of the good that can be achieved for the entire Valley through the combined efforts of all. There is still a great deal of work to do and the involvement and support of Eagle County residents is critical. The future of the project depends on the outcome of the March 27th County election, at which time a mill levy increase allowing for the land purchase funding will be considered. Your continued support is appreciated as we work together to meet the housing and recreation needs of Eagle County. S'nc rely, ~ J G'y~ Kent R.

That one city be established from East Vail to Edwards. It is more efficient both financially and politically to have one political entity representing such a small population and area that has the same basic goals. My main motivation for merging would be to get back into the Town those people who work here and make Vail successful. II. Enlarge Councilpersons role in the budgeting process. Each Councilperson would be assigned to one Town department. They would sit in as "listeners" during the process so they are aware of the different alternatives. They would not become advocates. The purpose would be to understand the budget better and to under- stand how the budget affects the departments. III. Zero based budget. Two departments each year would go through the process of a zero based budget. IV. Enlarge our infrastructure? First, make an explicit decision of whether we want to or can handle the increased number of people in the Town. "Will the increased density be self-defeating so that our present guests will not return?" V. Institute a point of sale tax. VI. Build additional parking with the condition that Vail Associates pays one-half of the captial cost of construction. VII. Find a library benefactor to put a "name" on the library so that we can have a "world-class'" facility. VIII.Marketing fee If we are $325,000 ahead on sales tax receipts, repeal the business license fee. Ik. Negotiate Vail Associates 2% voluntary tax so that it is mandatory.

Lapin made a motion to approve the minutes with the above noted changes, second by Knox, passed unanimously. FORD PARK LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT: Ted Akers and Brian Jones join the meeting. Three documents were before the board to be signed. A) Ground lease between VMRD, TOV and Gelco; B) Municipal Lease and Option Agreement between VMRD and Gelco and C) Escrow Agreement between VMRD, escrow agents (name unknown at this time) and Gelco. (See attached documents). Ted Akers explained the rate is~locked-in at-8.13. _ Any prepayment of the lease will include a prepayment penalty which is based on a declining percentage of par to the end of the term.

Lapin made a motion to approve the Municipal.-.Lease and - Option Agreement for the Ford Park tennis building and courts,` the Ground Lease, the escrow`-agreement-and -all .related documents, second by Knox, passed unanimously. Jim Collins and Ted Akers leave the meeting EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE: Steve Barta of Culver and Company joins the meeting at 3:30 PM. Barta said he had reviewed Lapin's personal insurance policy with St. Farm and this policy would not meet the requirements or needs of VMRD. VMRD has been with Lincoln National for 14 years. After VMRD broke off from the TOV this changed the parameters of their policy with Lincoln National. VMRD was placed in a small group category. The rate increase quoted by Lincoln National went from approximately $7,200/ month in 1989 to approximately $8,600/mo for 1990. Jones and Barta received bids from 12 carriers (see attached analysis). Barta recommends VMRD adopt the HSI policy with $100 medical and $50 dental deductible. Jones said the goal in the selection process was to stay within the current deductible of Lincoln if enough savings would be realized on the premiums. HSI meets this goal. Jones called four different companies for references on HSI and received outstanding reports. Barta explained HSI has been a Colorado company for the past 50 years located in the Ft. Collins and Greeley area. They have recently expanded throughout Colorado. The HSI rates will be locked in for one year - some companies will only lock in rates for 6 months. The trend is 15-20~ increase per year, but HSI has done better on their past rate increases because they have been a regional company and have managed to control costs reasonably well. Now that they have expanded within Colorado to service a statewide customer basis, Barta is not sure of the future increases. AQUATIC CENTER UPDATE: Lapin asked if HSI is Best rated. Barta replled~they are comparable to a Kaiser or Blue Cross, and that they similarly do not meet the criteria rendering them eligible for rating. Lapin made a motion to accept the HSI health, dental and mutual benefit bid with a deductible of $100 for -- - health and $50-fore dental, second.. by Molloy,-passed unanimousl _ .-- _ •; , .., .. , ::., .

Vandeford stated he is now in phase II i.e. disseminating. educational information on the pool, letters to the editors, voter registration and election date information, etc. The register to vote campaign has been successful. He anticipates that by Friday 1/12/89, the last day to register and be eligible to vote, 200 new people will have exercised their right to register to vote. Because the election date was moved from 1989 to early 1990, no aquatic center dollars have been provided for in the 1990 budget. Vandeford recommended a number of expenditures to the Board so he may complete the marketing process through the election of the aquatic center. See attached budget. Dodson asked for clear direction on what the Board feels obligated to spend on the election to inform the public. The Board approved the following from the proposed Vandeford budget: -Salary for marketing manager and assistant secretary -K-Cite voter registration spots -Vail Daily Vote ad - 2 days prior to election -Voter Registration Mailer -Vail Trail Vote - Friday prior to election -Ten pertinent questions mailing The items not approved on this budget should be done by a citizen group. Vandeford handed out a flyer "Vote for Eagle County" (see attached). The handout shows how the original document read and how the printer type set the document incorrectly. The Board instructed Vandeford to correct this error via a letter to the editor. The Board wants to review all written and radio advertisements prior to going out. The Board wants staff and Vandeford to give facts on the pool. All political campaigns should be left up to the citizenry. -- Nancy Rondeau has .written a letter stating her concerns pertaining to air quality of indoor aquatic centers. The Board instructed Vandeford to answer this concern via a letter to .the editor should .Rondeau have her letter published in the editorial section of the papers. Rondeau should also be personally invited _.... ;_. o the next public meeting on the aquatic center so her concerns can further be addressed.. ~'` The Board will discuss the establishment of an -Eagle County pass fee for the Aquatic Center in the very -near..future. - :. -- ' - Vandeford leavesthe meeting at 5 PM. - SECOND ICE SURFACE: Peter Jamar joins the meeting at 5 PM. Peter handed out to the Board his Site Suitability Analysis for a Second Ice Surface. (See attached). Jamar said this study recommends-the Gold Peak site as a solution for a 5 to 10 year term. VMRD should continue to work with VA on this site 'as they are being very cooperative. TOV regarding possibly the structure. The Board should continue talking to the a long term solution (10 years plus) - east end of the LionsHead parking Wilson- wants to know what the Golden Peak neighborhood's opinion would be on the site. Jamar said under current zoning a rink with lights can be constructed, just no cover. .The zoning is recreational. Garton wants the Board to read the entire Jamar study and this item will be put on next meeting. Peter Jamar leaves the meeting. NEW YEAR'S EVE YOUTH PARTY: Joanne Mattio joins the meeting. See attached Event Budget which Joanne handed out. Joanne stated the event received excellent community donation response. The attendance was 550 in 1989, as opposed to 650 kids in 1988. Joanne contacted VRA and they indicated bookings were also down on this night. Joanne stated the goal of the project was to keep kids off bridge street. The only way she feels to achieve the New Years Eve goal, is to offer a major event - i.e. big name concert such as U2. The event for the kids in attendance (median age of 14) was successful and very nice, but the target is to get kids off bridge street and this was not totally accomplished. It could be accomplished if more dollars were available for a-big concert . .. _ ;- The Board does not want to sponsor this event again ..and asked Dodson to inform all the necessary. people of this decision. :: Mattio leaves the meeting. SYMPHONY OF SPORTS: Rick Chastain joins the meeting 5:20 PM. 'Rick handed _. out the proposed contract with.SOS (see attached). ~- Lapin wanted to know the final date the contract must be signed before theevent is cancelled. Salaskysaid he needs l month notice. This puts the final date to sign the contract or cancel the event at February 10, 1990.- Dodson should contact Symphony of Sports and inform Holly of this deadline date. Garton wants to stress to Holly to market Vail during the event. Dodson stated he and Holly are getting help from John Garnsey at the Foundation on how they marketed Vail during the 1989 World Championship. Dodson said one Town Council member had asked that SOS come back to the Council and ask again for dollars. This meeting has been scheduled for January 16, 1990. The Board indicated they like the terms of the proposed contract and staff should proceed ahead. GOLF COURSE ICE RINK REPORT: Barb Masoner joins the meeting. See attached financial report which Masoner handed out. To date the rink is showing a net deficit of $1,097.39. Dodson stated the rink was very popular over the holidays and some locals have commented that $4 is too high an admission price. Wilson wants to extend the $25 season pass offer. He commended Ben's crew on the fine job they are doing in maintaining the rink. Axel is doing a great business at the clubhouse. On numerous occasions he has almost rented out his entire inventory. Wilson wants Axel to tighten up control on collecting fees and checking pass holders at the rink. Krueger stated the rink should last until mid February, then it will depend on the weather as to how long the rink will last. ICE SHOW REPORT: Tom Salasky joins the meeting at 5:50 PM. Over the Christmas holiday there was three shows at the arena. Nut Cracker on Ice, produced by Skating Club of Vail, Scott Hamilton Christmas show produced by IMG and HBO special produced by IMG. - Nut Cracker: Show dates, December 22, 23, 24, 1989. Total revenue was $10,190.50 ($9,730 plus comps). This was a j oint venture with the Skating Club of Vail and VMRD. VMRD provided the arena and personnel and SCV provided the production and marketing. Salasky does not have all the expenses from SCV, but it looks ~- - like VMRD will not make any._money on the shows. Poor __ __ ~.. - attendance was a factor..:... 400 was he largest .attendance at one show. Concessions took in $1,000. Scott Hamilton Christmas show: Show dates, December 27, 28, 29 with 4 shows.- Three shows sold out. _ Gross. revenue was $60,000, estimated expenses $53,500. The average number of comps per show was 75. Salasky is researching why this occurred. He believes most of these comps went to IMG. The concession grossed 2,400. HBO Show: Two shows, Friday night attendance was 600- 700 and Saturday night attendance was 750 people. Gross revenue projected is $21,000. IMG gets the 1990 RECREATION ID SYSTEM: VMRD/TOV SUB COMMITTEE AGENDA: LIONS SQ. LODGE GOLF REQUEST: APPROVAL OF PO'S: ADJOURNMENT: first $11,500 per show. Friday night grossed $10,500 and Saturday grossed $10,654. IMG~at the time of the contract negotiation stated the cast would include Katerina Witt and Dorothy Hamil. This did not occur. The show was a repeat of the Scott Hamilton show. Lapin stated he would like the ice arena sub committee to review all the contracts and make some recommendations to the Board. Dodson suggested that the contracts come before the Board and not the sub committee. Lapin made a motion that all Dobson contracts come before the Board for signature/approval, second by Wilson, passed unanimously. Tabled this item to next meeting. Dodson explained that Steinberg. is out of town and a January meeting cannot be set up. This meeting will be scheduled for February. The Board approved the agenda items as presented in Dodson's memo. They want to kick off summer Vail with a golf event on Memorial Day weekend and are asking what the green fees will be at that time. The Board set $25 for the green fee. Knox made a motion to approve the purchase orders as presented, second by Molloy, passed unanimously.-The Board was informed that a special check run would occur prior to their next meeting to finalize all the 1989 expenses. The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 PM. T0: VMRD BOARD MEMBERS FROM: (~~ PAT DODSON DATE: Y' January 19, 1990 SUBJECT: GREATER EAGLE VALLEY GOLF COURSE Charlie Ridgway, Willie Powell, Stan Bernstein, Steve Satterstrom, Ben Krueger and myself all met on January 15, 1990 to discuss the pros and cons of VMRD getting involved with their operation. They have made two requests of VMRD: 1. They would like a letter stating VMRD's interest in: -Consulting during the construction phase of the project. -Managing the Greater Eagle Valley Golf Course. They would like this letter in the near future as they feel that our involvement will allow them to negotiate a better funding situation. 2. They would like VMRD to submit a preliminary agreement to manage the proposed Greater Eagle Valley Golf Course that would address our involvement during the construction phase (1-1/2 to 2 years - spring 1990 to fall 1991) and the operation (staring fall 1991 or spring 1992). The management contract would be .cost plus, with no financial exposure to VMRD. They ask that the additional compensation over cost might be a trade for tee times or some percentage of sharing in the profits. There are definite personnel costs, at both courses, that could be reduced if we enter into a management lease. These salary cost reductions to VMRD center around the superintendent of golf, manager, head golf pro, .plus key maintenance personnel. Please advise me of what should be included in the management lease proposal. r TO: VMRD BOARD MEMBERS FROM: J~,i ~~ PAT DODSON DATE: ` January 18, 1990 SUBJECT: VMRD / EAGLE VAIL UPDATE Please find attached a copy of the Data Comparisons prepared by Winston Associates.
