The Town would provide the space needed for the piece to be displayed and also initially perform any site preparation that will be needed to install the piece.

My intent was to evolve a set of symbols that would define contemporary human experience, the dilemma of a person caught up in the routines and daily experience of surival. Frozen in the context of the present moment, anything around us can be a symbol of haw we are: object, color, texture, motion, light, and the complex of interrelationships between. Once chosen the symbols must stand for themselves, the understanding rests in the heart and mind of the observer. To explain too much is to limit or ditninist~ the observer's experience and understanding. PANEL ONE: CLIP MAN Clip Man is each and every one of us, woman and man. He's cold, brassy, competitive, competent, slick, contemporary, success oriented, motivated, driven, impatient, perserverent and creative. He"s out of ti:ae - answering the phone, playing the game, on the cuttit-ig edge of survival. The paper clips represent the infrastructures he has created. His challenge is to join them so they stand or succeed. PANEL TWO: FREEWAY The mid penal represents a ,iourney or transition. The signs show movement away from techr:ological society. The exit sign off the intErstate ironically marks the entrance into anew realm of choice and awareness. Closer to civilisation the signs represent rules - what one must 30. Moving toward nature the signs indicate possibilities, positives, what might be experienced. Visually a point of focus, "Destinatio:, Point" is thematically the mid point of the piece. For Clip Man it is t!-ie eye of the needle, a fulcrum or place from which to regain balance. PAN~rI.

Locals and tourists alike can find themselves in Clip Man. He is anyone who has been caught up in the work world culture. He speaks for the need to escape the stress and conflict of modern living, engendered by business infrastructures, economic development, multinational wheeling and dealing, joint ventures and the profit motive. Vail provides an essential counterbalance, an alternative lifestyle. Clip Man comes here seeking release from pent up tensions and a return to the simple freedoms.

Water Quality/Quantity Fund (QQ) ~,~,p -~-Q (,~L~,C, Program Description U1S 7•!7•kD u•~(,t1C 4 Introduction The QQ Program is composed of Barbara Green, General Counsel; Hank Ipsen, Special Counsel of Holme, Roberts and Owen; Lane h'yatt, Program Coordinator; and Karen Thorson, Program Assistant and whatever law clerks we are able to enlist for little to no remuneration. The Program is responsible for administering the QQ Fund (also called the Land Use and Water Fund), first established in 19?8 as a cost savings measure designed to coordinate legal activities regarding transmountain diversions for the headwater Counties. Barbara reports directly to the Board of NWCCOG and Nh'CCOG staff receive policy direction from the elected officials who comprise the QQ Committee. Financial Issues The Program is funded by contributions to the QQ Fund by local governments in Eagle, Grand, Summit and Gunnison Counties. History and Accomt~lishments The Program has successfully represented Eagle, Grand and Summit Counties and NWCCOG in various lawsuits brought by the Denver Water Department, the Cities of Aurora and Colorado Springs and the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District. In 1980, the Program represented Grand County local governments in bringing about the Windy Gap Settlement Agreement ~:hich has generated a variety of other agreements benefiting Grand County. In 1981, we won a Federal lawsuit brought against Grand County and the Forest Service which established that the method and manner of water diversion is subject to reasonable regulation by Grand County. In 1985 and 1986, the Program successfully defeated challenges to local land use authority raised by Denver in Eagle County and Grand County District Courts. During 1988, the Program won the appeal of~these cases in the Colorado Court of Appeals. There the Court held that home rule cities are not immune from local land use "1041" regulations as applied to their water diversion projects. The appeal of this case was heard in the Colorado Supreme Court in early October and a ruling is expected soon. The QQ Program has also participated in rule making hearings in front of the k'ater Quality Control Commission in 401 certification and antidegradation to ensure that water diversions are subject to water quality control regulations. Because of successes in the Courts and active cooperation among all member jurisdictions, these jurisdictions have been able to forge agreements with water diversion interest and A'i+000G ~:on a seat on the Metropolitan Water Roundtable and the SEIS Coordinating Committee for the Two Forks Project. • l Generally, NWCCOG ser~•es as the "watch dog" for water development activities and legislative initiatives which effect water quality or quantity in the basin of origin. Regularly scheduled meetings of the QQ Committee operiate as a forum for policy formulation and legal strategy decision- ~ making by elected officials. The QQ Program raises land use and other socioeconomic issues as a complement to the River District's efforts which focus on water rights and storage projects. Finally, the Program has represented Grand County in a challenge to the 401 Certification for the Two Forks Project. The Environmental Defense Fund and Grand County as co-appellants on this case in front of the Water Quality Control Commission and have been successful in adding additional requirements to the 401 Certification. 1990 Activities The next six months will be critical: QQ will be heavily involved defending Eagle County's decision to deny Colorado Springs' and Aurora's application for the Homestake I;I Project. k'e are awaiting a ruling on the appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court of Citv and County of Denver v~, Board of County Commissioners, ?60 P.2d 656 (Colo. App. 1988). In addition to defending "1041" in the Courts, we expect attacks on local government authority to erupt during the upcoming legislative session. The fall of 1988 was spent in developing a broad coalition of counties and towns and much energy will be spent lobbying in front of the legislature on water quality and water quantity matters. QQ Committee members have taken a leadership role in formulating a statewide policy that may include legislation designed to protect the basin of origin from negative impacts of transbasin diversions. A Water Forum took place on October 27th in Glendale which included representatives of many affected parties in discussions of what mutual problems may exist. The Forum was well received and the convenors and NWCGOG staff will be meeting on November 14th to determine where our efforts should be directed to continue this dialog. Water Quality Quantity Fund (QQ) Proposed 1990 Activities 1.

In 1981, NWCCOG won a Federal lawsuit 'brought against Grand Count: by Deaver challenging the County's ability to regulate Denver's water diversion projects. In 1985 and 1980, ?vr]CCOG successfully defended challenges to 1OC31 land use authority over Denver's water projects in the state District Co~,:rt for Eagle and Grand Counties. Finally, in 1988, NWCCOG won another victory over Denver in the Colorado Court of Appeals. In 1985, Summit County issued a "1041" permit for Denver's Straight Creek project following extensive negotiations which culminated in the Denver/Summit County P.greemer~t. The County imposed conditions on the permit which were contingent upon our 1988 victory over Denver in the Court of Appeals. Grand Cour:ty also imposed a "1041" permit on the Windy Gap project developed by the Northern Colorado k'ater Conservancy District. Tha Windy Gap Settlement Agrae:~ent, ste,~ming from litigation brought by the Northern District, included mitigation to local governments in Grand County plus a $10,000,000 cash settlement which will be used for construction of the Muddy Creek Reservoir. Tha Colorado River Water Conservation District will construct the project near Kremmling and lease a potion of its yield to Denver. Part of the lease revenues will in turn be used toward construction of a water project in the Upper Fraser Talley. Most recently, Eagle County's venial of the "1041" permit application for the :-Iomestake II water diversion projec~s of Colorado Spr_rg5 and P.urora has resulted in another lawsuit a?air.=t ~agie Ceur:ty piled in March of 1988. io dat2, the ,e=d»~ater counties ar.d towns have contributed to ~~-:a fua3 in order to purchase additional local and tecr:n~ca? as~:stan~= required to implement an3 defend "1041" powers. ~itiga~ioa Do1.i ~Y 1.

In 1985 and 1956, the Division successfully defended c2-ialleng~s to local land usa authority raised by Denver in fiagle County ar~d Grand County District Courts. During 1988, the Division won the appeal of these cases in t're Colorade Court of Appeals. There the Court held t~'iat home rule cities are not immune from Local land use "1041" regulations as applied to their water diversion projects. Because of successes in the Courts and cooperation amo:~y all member jurisdictions, A'WCCOG is perceived by the opposition as a powerful entity. Out of this solidarity, member jurisdictions have been able to forge agreements with water diversion interest and NTACCOG won a seat on the Metropolitan Water Roundtable and the SEIS Coordinating Committee. Throughout 1985, 1986 and 1987, ?~'WCCOG developed credibility with the Corps of Engineers as a source of coordinated information concerning West Slope impacts. The perceived strength of the Region has also resulted in a formal permit application by Colorado Springs and Aurora to Eagle County for the Homestake II Project which was denied by, the Commissioners. We are now defending the County's decision in District Court.

This test can be satisfied by a "401" certification for the State (or EPA, if the State lacks authority) that water quality standards will not be violated. S_t.~t~.~01 CFr~i_f .c..~..tcn Historically, the Water Quality Control Commission had not considered water quality impacts resulting from hydrologic modifications (changes in flow caused by water diversion projects). However, emergency amendments to the State regulations promulgated in February 1988 allow the WQC~ to impose conditions on federally permitted projects to prevent water quality impacts. The imposition cf conditions is limited by Section 104 of the State Water Quality Act which prohibits "material injury" to water rights. Hearings on the final rule are scheduled for November 1988 at which time the water development community will reassert that': hydrologic modifications are immune form the 401 certification process. ~t.~~ s_An ~.~g~.d a t ar?~. _..R.u l e Under pressure from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Environmental Defense Fund, the Water Quality Control Commission revi=:3 its anti~egradation rule to incluae a review of activities ( including darns and dl:-ersions requiring 401 certification) which may degrade waters that are of a quality better thar. spa*_e stan~arcs.

Currently, Denver and the Providers are awaiting permits to construct a 1.1 MAF Two Forks Project which will reduce the Blue River by approximately 42,000 a.f.; the Fraser River by approximately 20,000 a.f.; and the Williams Fork River by approximately 4,900 a.f. each year. Colorado Springs and Aurora have received federal permits to divert approximately 20,000 a.f. form t're Eagle River Basin , and the Colorado River Water Conservation District has applied for permits for the Muddy Creek project which allow Denver to divert an additional 15,000 a.f. through the Roberts Tunnel. In exchange for this water, Denver will make lease payments to the River District, a portion of which will be used to construct water storage in the Upper Fraser Basin. In 1978, N'~uCCOG first decided to take a cooperative approach to dealing with water diversion projects. The Quality/ Quantity fund "QQ" was established and an in-house attorney was hired. The over-all goal of.the QQ fund (now called Land Use and Water Fund) is to increase the ability of local governments to protect water quality and quantity in the Region. S LGtC~. YITGt E.

B ask.g.z.o_un.d Colorado has no comprehensive policy to guide the merage:r,er.t and developme:t of its water resources . Frag~r,ents of a policy exist ir. the State Constitution, State Statutes and Court decisions. P.esponsibility for water resources administration and water quality protection is scattered . throughout a plethora of state, local ar.d federal agencies. This apFrcach has resuitsd i^ piecemeal water development, conflicts between water rights 3dministraii~n and water quality regulations and unnecessary litigation. A general interest in state water policy Y,as recently surfaced in response to the federal involvement in the Two Forks Project, dwindling water supplies, legal victories by ` Region XII, the decision by Eagle County to dany the Homestake Permit, the DEnver/River District agreement and Water Quality Control Commission decisions. Region XII has been instrumental in working toward a comprehensive state water policy. Commissioners .from the headwaters counties have drafted a policy document under the auspices of C.C.I., and other NWCCOG members have publicly supported a water policy in a variety of public meetings and conferences. d rrco auu e nso ~7?/, Cam'' ~a--.,~ ~ ,-,1' °'cG.~ ~a ~ .~.~v a.--~. ~ ~Ih; cp ~ ~~4 ~ ~r ~ 3. ~""~~~L v~~ Q Q~~,,~ e ire-~~ee~. e.~~ G v ~ ~7 ~ rya ~ ~ o ~ ~ ~ P REC'~ J U L 1 ~,199~• ~s • ,i • ~ I• ,Eagle Valley Humane Society ~ . • qo ~ ~t~ ~ ~ o~;-r o ~c ~.J ~ ~ ~~`~~~N-v ~/+E-S S~ c C.e P.O.

GILLOON MORTON MC GIN LEY Mr. Kent Rose Mayor of the Town of Vail, and Members of the Town Council 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81658 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my understanding that public hearings will be held on July 24, and July 31, 1990 to discuss, again, the establishment of a cemetery in Donovan Park. My wife and I built the residence at 1613 Matterhorn Circle (directly across the road from the proposed cemetery) in 1966 and have been part time residents of the area since that time. We, of course, are opposed to the proposed development as would anyone else under similar circumstances. Thus, I suppose we will be categorized as "Nimbys". Our opposition, however, is based on several factors other than the severe deleterious effect the location of the cemetery will have on the marketability of our property. First, there are two serious legal questions involved. One arises by virtue of the method of financing used to purchase the property, The other is created by the representations made to the public, the seller and the mortgage holder at the time of purchase and the later naming of the area as "Donovan Park" . Such factors may prevent the conversion of the property to a cemetery use without a vote of the public. I am sure your counsel will disagree with these asser- tions but that is the stuff from which lawsuits arise. Secondly, property in the Vail valley is included within the boundaries of the Minturn Cemetery District. It is my understand- ing that the cemetery operated by the District has ample lands for expansion, certainly far more than sufficient to take care of the few burials that may take place from the predominately transient population of Vail. To impose the cost of an additional cemetery upon the taxpayers is unwarranted as no reason has yet been advanced for such need other than the desire of a few residents to be buried within the Town rather than at Minturn. Such an argument can only be classified in the best light as elitist in nature. I ~ I Mr. Kent Rose, Mayor, and Members of of the Town Council ~ July 19, 1990 Page 2 j I I Thirdly, from a planning standpoint, it will mean the death knell of the Matterhorn area. Matterhorn Village has ofiten times been referred to as the "slums of Vail" and perhaps deservedly so. It has had a very checkered history of poor planning, ineffective covenant enforcement and a total lack of any zoning enforcement. Even today, commercial activities involving heavy equipment and the storage of machinery and construction equipment throughout the area, particularly on the streets, are ignored by the zoning officials. Abandoned cars are spotted through the area. Many houses have been converted to use as essentially rooming houses and apartments very possibly beyond the density levels specified in the Town Zoning Ordinances. Landscaping is non-existent and trash is permitted to pile up around the rental units orbs stored in overflowing dumpsters and vehicles as well as on balconies and porches. ~ In short, Matterhorn Village is a disgrace to the valley and nothing seems to be done by the Town to rectify the situation. One must, therefore, presume that the Town has written pit off so that one final nail in its coffin will be of no consequence. I Very truly yours, / Karl R.

In order to address the provision of a cemetery within the Town of Vail, the Town Council selected Peter Jamar Associates, Inc. to con- duct, under the direction of the Vail Cemetery Committee and the Department of Community Development, a site analysis of possible locations and make recommendations regarding the suitability of those sites for use as a cemetery. This report represents to results of the site analysis and represents the findings of the Cemetery Committee. BACKGROUND/METHODOLOGY As a first step in the process of selecting a suitable site for a cemetery, it was important to first compile a list of .sites within the town which might possess the general characteristics suitable for this type of land use. Once the list was compiled, it w,as deter- mined that a simple on-site review of each of the sites could indicate whether any given site appeared to possess characteristics which would warrant further, more detailed analysis. The Town of Vail Land Use Plan, completed in 1986, identified four sites which would potentia]ly be suitable for use as a cemetery. 2 ~ ~z CEMETERY REPORT For many years the Vail Community has discussed designating lands within Town limits as a Town cemetery. This issue has been discussed by community groups and various Town Councils in the past, but no firm conclusions or recommendations have been made. This report will identify the issues and alternatives involved in cemetery development within the Vail Community. The report has been broken down into three main issues with many sub-issues and alternatives involved with each area. These issues are as listed: 1) site selection and design; 2) management; 3) financing. I. LOCATION AND DESIGN The Town of Vail Community Development Department and Peter Jamar Associates conducted a site selection and suitability analysis in order to determine the preferred cemetery location. The following pages detailing site analysis were taken from that earlier report: 1 j-_ These sites were reviewed on-site by the Department of Community Development in order to determine whether each site appeared to warrant detailed analysis and further study. Owners of the private sites were also contacted to determine whether they had any interest in the Town considering their land as suitable for the cemetery. Zhese on-site investigations revealed that, of the nine sites iden- tified, only three were worthy of further study. A brief descrip- tion of these nine sites and the findings of the initial on-site review is as follows: Site: Lot 14, Intermountain Subdivision Description: A privately owned, 13 acre parcel located at the top of the Intermountain Subdivision in West Vail at the end of Snowberry Drive. Potential Suitability: Poor - poor access and limited flat area. Further Study: No Site: Ulbrich Property Description: A 47 acre, privately owned tract of land located to the west of the Vail Ridge Subdivision. Potential Suitability: Poor - very limited amount of flat land. Further Study: No 4 ~ ~ 7 These sites were identified based upon the fact that they appeared to possess general characteristics suitable for cemetery use: 1) suitability of terrain; 2) good drainage; 3) proximity to water sources; and 4) accessibility. These four sites were: Parcel H: A 40 acre tract of land owned by the Forest Service located in East Vail, partially under an elevated section of.I-70. Mountain Bell Tract: A 25 acre tract of land, currently owned by the Town of Vail and Mountain Bell, upon which the telephone micro- . wave transmitting facility and pre-school facilities are located. Stephen's Property: A parcel of land currently owned by the Town of Vail located at the east entrance into the Intermountain Subdivi- sion. Donovan Park Parcel: The portion of Donovan Park known as the "Upper Bench" and located between Matterhorn and Glen Lyon Subdivisions. While the Land Use Plan identified these as potential sites, the Plan did not, since it is meant to be a general document, include any detailed analysis of these sites and pointed out that each site possessed unresolved questions that were in need of further study. In addition to the four sites identified in the Land Use Plan, the Department of Community Development and Cemetery Committee identified an additional nine sites, both publicly and privately owned, within the Gore Valley which they believed should be considered in terms of their potential for further study as suitable sites fora cemetery. 3 z r s Site: Lionsridge Parcel Description: 26 undeveloped duplex lots held in one singli , private ownership located on 13 acres south of Lion's Ridge Loop. Potential Suitability: .Good - good acees, relatively flat. Further Study: Yes Site: Vail Das Schone Description: An unplatted parcel of privately owned land located between Vail Das Schone Shopping Center and the Brandess Building. Potential Suitability: Poor - commercial character of area, very high acquisition cost. Further Study: No Site: Potato Patch Parcel Description: An area of Forest Service land above the Potato Patch Subdivision which is the site of two water storage tams. Potential Suitability: Poor - limited usable area. ~ Further Study: No 6 S ? Site: Highland Meadows Parcel Description: An undeveloped portion of the Highland Meadows Subdivision adjacent to Vermont Road and Meadow Brook Drive. Potential Suitability: Poor - multiple ownership, known poor sub- surface soil conditions for cemetery. Further Study: No Site: Katsos Ranch Parcel Description: The eastern end of the 146 acre, public property purchased by the Town of Vail in 1977. Potential Suitability: Good -flat, adequate access. Further Study: Yes Site: Spraddle Creek Description: 27 acres, privately owned, located on the north side of the main Vail Interchange. Potential Suitability: Poor - owner not interested in site being considered. Further Study: No 5 T ' r F 2. The site must be relatively flat in order to allow site con- struction/excavation and to reduce maintenance costs. 3. Soil conditions should be suitable for excavation. Good quality topsoil will be an asset. 4. Geologic Hazards (flood plain, avalanche, debris flow, rockfall) should not constitute any constraint upon development of the site that cannot be mitigated. 5. Access to the site for both pedestrians and vehicles should be readily available. 6. The site should provide the ability for the parking of vehicles. 7. Water and electrical service should be available. Sewer service is not mandatory, but preferred. . 8. The relationship to surrounding properties should be suih that potential conflicts are minimal. 9. Expansion potential of the site is not mandatory, but will be an asset to the site. 10. The aesthetic qualities of the site should be well-suited to the establishment of the site_for cemetery use. 11. The acquisition cost of the site should be minimal. S ~ 8 Site: Timberfalls Parcel Description: A 7.5 acre parcel of privately owned land adjacent to Nugget Lane in East Vail. Potential Suitability: Good - good access, flat area. Further Study: Yes Based upon the preliminary analysis, then, three of these sites were selected for further study: Lionsridge Parcel, Katsos Ranch Parcel and Timberfalls Parcel. In addition, three of the four sites previously identified within the Vail Land Use Plan were selected for further study. The fourth site, the Mountain Bell Tract, was determined not to warrant further study due to size limitations. The large amount of this parcel which is occupied by the Mountain Bell and pre-school facilities results in very little usable space for a cemetery. Therefore, a total of six sites were selected to be subject to the next level of analysis. These sites are depicted upon the Location Map on the following page. SITE ANALYSIS/SUITABILITY In order to determine which of the six candidate sites identified in the preliminary analysis was the most favorable for the cemetery, a list of design objectives was compiled. The eleven design objec- tives, or criteria, were as follows: 1. The site must be of an adequate size and shape to accommodate the cemetery. 7 r When points were applied to each factor for each site, the highest scoring sites represent the most suitable for a cemetery and the lowest scoring sites represent the least suitable. The following section describes the general characteristics of each site, the site's ability to meet each of the eleven identified factors, and the site's corresponding point total. I I I 10 ' ~ The size of the cemetery is one factor which is difficult to deter- . mine in exact terms due to the large number of variables which will dictate the utilization of the cemetery. Issues such as the number of burials per year, the number of burials versus cremation, the number of burials currently located elsewhere which might be moved to Vail in the future, and the number of non-permanent residents that might choose burial in Vail are difficult to estimate. For planning purposes, it was assumed that an adequate site to serve Vail's future needs should possess at least 5 acres of land suitable for cemetery use. The next step in the planning process was to conduct a detailed site analysis of the identified sites. This entailed preparation of base maps for each site, a thorough review of the existing con- ditions upon each site, and mapping of these existing conditions. Soils testing was also completed and on one site, Katsos Ranch, a detailed analysis of the 100 Year Flood Plain was completed. A point scale was developed for use when comparing each site to the identified eleven factors: Points Meaning 3 Positive impact, strong correlation or no anti-~ cipated problems. 2 Neutral/slight impact, moderate correlation or no major problems. 1 Potential negative impact, weak correlation or anticipated problems. 0 Negative impact, no correlation, known problems. 9 t .

At the Donovan Park site this could consist of a primitive pathway through the aspen grove where urns may be placed or small markers for representing beloved buried elsewhere could be installed. This pathway could contain benches and other pleasant aesthetic design features. DESIGN RELATED ISSUES Winter burials Although not really a design issue, the design and management issues are intertwined and require coordinated planning. Research has indicated that winter burials are possible in this region. Although access to and precise location of specific sites is very difficult, many communities, Breckenridge as an example, allow winter burials in a limited area close to an access road. ,Families or those with pre-sold plots may wish Ito wait until Spring for internment. This allows a greater choice in plot location. Mortuaries may handle storage requirements until Spring internment. Plot sales Plots may be sold in two ways: 1) plots (including lots, which consist of a grouping of ten plots) may be sold in advance. Utilization of this method of plot sales, while allowing reserved plots and family groupings, may create a scattered development pattern; 2) plots are sold on an "as need" basis with no reserved plots or family groupings allowed. While this may.not be the desired choice of families or of certain individuals, it does allow a coordinated phase development of the cemetery site. The decision on whether winter burials are allowed or not may depend upon this issue. Vaults Many cemeteries require the use of concrete vaults to prevent soil subsidence. The use of vaults also allows the distance between graves to be minimized. Cemeteries may or may not allow a gravesite to be utilized in a stacked manner, ie. two vaults to a site. 20 .~a The following issues and alternatives regarding design, management, and financing for the purpose of this report assumes that Donovan Park is the preferred location. These issues still exist with any other site or location. DESIGN The cemetery Committee and the Town Council have discussed conceptual design style. The desire of both groups is to maintain the natural features and plantings of the chosen site to the greatest extent possible. Cemetery design and improvements would be of a very low-key nature. The specific design needs regarding interior roads, gravesite access, footpaths, etc. are all issues that will need to be addressed and are somewhat dependent upon other design and management issues. Monumentation Monumentation may be limited to no markers, flush markers, or upright monuments. The current position of the Cemetery Committee is to restrict monumentation to flush markers. This decision will somewhat impact landscaping and maintenance design and operations. Parking Parking for the Donovan Park site would be best accommodated by the widening and paving of the existing Matterhorn Loop Road. Utilization of the existing road for parking is in harmony with the concept of a low-key development scenario for this site. A defined parking area could be developed to focus the entrance to the cemetery. On Site Services The decision to allow or to have the ability to perform graveside burial services is an option that will require designing substantial physical accessways to each gravesite. This issue .is a management decision which is . important to be determined prior to final design. Another option that is available is to construct a platform (concrete, brickpavers, gravel, etc.) near the entrance to the cemetery, in a very accessible location, upon which a temporary structure (tent or awning) could be erected for specific services. A small permanent memorial structure to serve this purpose is also an option to be considered. Creating a central location for these memorial services does eliminate the need for extensive accessways to be designed into the cemetery site plan. 19 ~ ~ A management company or group would provide the following: 1) form a corporation or partnership for development and management of the cemetery; 2) physically develop the site; 3) construct maintenance facilities; 4) provide management to operate and maintain the cemetery; 5) operate a counseling and sales office somewhere within the community. The Town of Vail would be required to provide the following: 1) a suitable site; 2) procure zoning and necessary permits; 3) provide necessary utilities. Unless a very specific contract was written, the Town of Vail would have very little control over design, operation, and cost of the cemetery. 2) Municipal Under this management option, the Town of Vail would develop, own, and operate the cemetery. An administrator would be required, which may or may not be a full-time position. The Town of Breckenridge utilizes the town clerk for record keeping and plot sales, while the public works department handles minimum maintenance, which includes some landscaping and snow removal. Internments are provided by private excavators hired by the parties involved. Many municipalities utilize a more active method of management and seem to be fairly evenly split between cemetery responsibilities. Some city cemeteries are managed by the parks and recreations department; some by the public works department. These cemeteries have a full-time administrator and utilize municipal employees and equipment for landscaping, snow removal, and excavation requirements. The full-time administrator would handle record keeping and plot sales and would run the day-to-day management of the cemeteries. Research indicates that municipal cemeteries generally operate at a loss and are often supported by general fund budgeting. The following set of tables is taken from a Colorado Municipal League Report regarding municipal cemeteries. These tables contain information on financing and management issues and provide great comparisons of different alternatives available to municipal cemeteries. 22 ~ " y ? There is also a pre-cast vault system that is available in cemetery construction. This method of construction requires that the entire site be graded, concrete vaults would be installed, removable lids would be installed, and topsoil would be placed over the vaults and re-vegetated. This method minimizes excavation and opening and closing costs during operational use of the cemeteries existence. It does, however, greatly increase up front development costs. Religious and special interest groups Research of other cemeteries has indicated that it is not uncommon for specific areas of a cemetery to be reserved for members of certain religious or special interest groups, ie. Catholics, veterans, masons, etc. This may or may not include a pauper section in the cemetery. Again, this is a management decision that does affect other decisions such as winter burial and pre-selling of sites. Zoning Cemeteries are allowed as a conditional use in the Agricultural and Open Space zone district. Donovan Park, the preferred site, is zoned Agricultural and Open Space so a conditional use permit would be required. A second and third alternative site, as designated in the site selection report, are currently zoned for residential use, and in order to accommodate a cemetery, require rezoning to Agricultural and Open Space zone district and a conditional use permit. II. MANAGEMENT Cemetery Committee has recognized and must evaluate four possible management scenarios: 1) private; 2) municipal; 3) special district; 4) municipal/public trust. 1) Private This type of management option was discussed in a 1978 proposal to the Vail Town Council. Although this specific proposal is no longer valid, the basic concept remains the same and a similar type of relationship could possibly be negotiated with a private party. 2i C; III. FINANCING Cost estimates for design and construction of a Vail cemetery are very dependent upon final site selection and design concept decisions. No cost estimate analysis has been performed by the staff at this point in time. Financing options available through the Town of Vail are as follows: 1) Acquisition and Development Costs Acquisition and development costs for a Vail cemetery could be budgeted out of the general fund, could utilize real estate transfer tax, or could be done through issuance of bonds. General obligation and revenue bonds are available as a possible start-up finance option, although both of these alternatives would require a vote of the general electorate. If the special district option of management is the preferred alternative, then a district tax increase is also an alternative for start-up financing. Donations from citizens of the community or other sources are also a possible alternative funding source. 2) Operational Costs Cemetery operational costs could be a line item in the general fund budget or could be part of a public works or cemetery department budget depending on final management alternatives. Cemetery revenues may be derived from the sale of plots, opening and closing fees, and donations. If a special district alternative is chosen, the revenue from a district taxation would be the source of operational funds. If a private management alternative is chosen, then revenues would be derived through the management company's assessment of fees. IV. CONCLUSION In conclusion, it is apparent that many of these financing, design, and management issues are intertwined and somewhat dependent upon each other. It is apparent that in order to proceed with the development of a cemetery within the Town of Vail, a coordinated discussion between the Cemetery Committee and the Town Council must take place and a viable concept for a management, design, and financing must be agreed upon before any further progress can be made. 24 1 3) Special District The Town of Vail lies within an existing cemetery district. The Minturn cemetery district was formed in the 1940s and the boundaries as shown were consistent with 1940s School District Area No. 11. This area includes Vail, Minturn, a small portion of eastern Eagle-Vail, and a great deal of ranch and public land north of Vail. The 1988 assessed evaluation of the district is $329,377,180. The 1988 assessed evaluation of the Town of Vail is $295,576,510, which indicates that Vail represents 89.7 of the assessed Minturn cemetery district. The current mill levy of the district is .025, which nets the district $8,234 annually. The cost per $100,000 of residential market value is $4.50. To increase the district budget to a revenue of $150,000 annually, a mill levy of .444 would need to be set. This mill levy increase would cost $81.90 per $100,000 of market value residential property. The district would, of course, be responsible for maintaining the existing Minturn cemetery, as well as the development, management, and maintenance of a new Vail cemetery. The Minturn Cemetery District is governed by a board of three appointed by the county commissioners. A seat on this three-member board has a term of six years. All seats are currently held by Minturn residents. Expiration dates of those seats are 1990, 1992 and 1994. The Town of Vail attorney has researched the laws regarding cemetery districts and from all indications it appears that removal from a cemetery district is a difficult, if not impossible, task. In order to utilize the existing cemetery district to develop a Vail cemetery, it is assumed that it would be necessary for a Vail interest to control the cemetery district board. This would require that citizens interested in pursuing this concept be appointed to the cemetery board as openings arise. 4) Municipal/Trust Arrangement This management option would operate similar to the municipal cemetery, in that the Town of Vail would own the land and pay for the development costs. However, an appointed board, or perhaps a group such as the Vail Religious Foundation would operate the cemetery. This board would dictate the major design and management decisions, as well as handle day-to-day operations. The Town Council would still have ultimate control over the board and budget process, yet would be one step removed from the political aspects of the cemetery management. Further details regarding this type of operation would need to be negotiated upon by the two groups that were a party to this interest. 23 ~ FOREWORD The management of municipal cemeteries is not infrequently abottom-of-the-barre4 priority in a number of Colorado communities. The assertion has even been made that cemetery operation is r not a required or proper municipal function because its "proprietary" rather than "governmental" nature gives it many attributes of a private business venture. Yet like it or not, municipal officials across the country are being increasingly confronted with the complexities of cemetery management. The number of municipal cemeteries is growing as cities and towns establish new burial grounds or acquire them from private concerns by gift or default. ' In most communities cemetery fees and charges have been increased in an attempt to keep abreast of ever-increasing cemetery maintenance, development and land acquisition costs. In spite of higher rate structures, however, municipal cemeteries often operate at substantial deficits and de- mand larger tax subsidies each year. Cemetery operations, then, frequently present persistent problems and responsibilities to a munici- ' pality. Managing Municipal Cemeteries is intended to help municipal officials deal with those prob- lems and learn of management practices in other Colorado municipalities. 1t is an expanded and updated version of Operation and Administration of Municipal Cemeteries, a CML analysis first published in 1954 and revised in 1962.

X876, MEMORANDUM Roy Romer Governor Thomas M. Vernon, M,D. Executive Director T0: Interested Parties FROM: Dick Parachini Eagle Mine On-S to Coordinator DATE: July 18, 1990 SUBJECT: Eagle Mine Preliminary Air Monitoring Results May 1990 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The following is an update regarding the Eagle Mine air monitoring program during the 1990 construction season. The airborne particulate data collected by the Gulf+Western air monitors shown in the accompanying table are preliminary in nature. This means that the Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) values may be revised after auditing and validation by the air contractor and the State. The information is useful in assessing emissions during construction activities, as well as trends in potential human exposure. The concentrations for TSP were not above the air emissions permit levels during the May monitoring period. The current standard for TSP at the site is 150 ug/m3. The notation ug/m3 stands for micrograms per cubic meter. A microgram equals one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram. The Colorado Department of Health received analytical results reports from Gulf+Western that indicate the occurrence of two 24-hour average air concentrations of cadmium (Cd) above the air emission permit trigger value (0.01 ug/m3). The concentration of cadmium at the North/Cross Creek monitoring station on May 2 (0.013 ug/m3) and at the Minturn Middle School roof on May 29 (0.011 ug/m3) were above trigger value. The concentration of cadmium at the North/Cross Creek monitoring station on June 1 (0.013 ug/m3) was also verbally reported above the trigger value. Construction activities in May have been primarily associated with construction of the water treatment plant facilities and screening of clean soil for the multi-layer cap at the New Tailings Pile. Construction activities have also been ongoing in the Rock Creek area to reduce mine seepage. Active dust control has continued to be implemented at the site with the startup of construction activities for the 1990 construction season. For additional information, please contact Dick Parachini at 827-5928 (Minturn) or 331-4801 (Denver). /cf • ~ T DAMES Sz MOORE ~:°~'F~ •a'`. .,.l.tlrEi;. `•EE:•HIP F, I l.i c`%'e`: ~E~TH SHEET.

Vail throughout the last decade; and WHEREAS, the proposed land exchange threatens the Town of Vail`s greatest natural resource, Vail Mountain; and WHEREAS, the Town of Vail has an active local planning process using zoning regulations to ensure protection of open space within the Town while providing for controlled growth and development; and WHEREAS, the Tennenbaum exchange if approved would represent a subversion of both the national land acquisition policy and the traditional federal land exchange administrative. process; and WHEREAS, if the Tennenbaum land exchange is approved by an act of Congress, it will call into question the ability of all municipalities to control open space within or adjacent to their boundaries; and WHEREAS, the Town of Avon encourages the United States Forest Service to work with local governments adjoining public lands and establish no-trade zones for said public lands unless such trades are endorsed by the local governmerit.~ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE T06VN COUNCIL OF THE TO~aN OF AVON, COLORADO: I.t hereby sets forth its opposition to the proposed Tennenbaum land exchange and urges the Colorado Congrelssional Delegation not to introduce legislation to the United States Congress for the purpose of effecting the exchange. INTRODUCED, READ, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 10th day of July, 1990. in Avon, Colorado. .

As you know, no House member has agreed to introduce the bill, including Ben Nighthorse- Campbell who would be the key member to do since he represents Vail. In fact, both Congressman Campbell and Congressman Brown (whose district contains some of the lands to be swapped) have stated positively that they will not introduce the legislation. In addition, Senator Armstrong has also indicated that he will defi- nitely not introduce the legislation. A~'l'HORIZING COMMITTEE MEETINGS We have met with most of the subcommittee and full committee chairs of the authorizing committees in the House and Senate. All of them have been generally supportive, although they cannot be greatly specific about their intentions or the legislation because nothing has ever been introduced that they can review. However, they have all agreed that they would require ,hearings, and it would be ex- tremely difficult to schedule and complete hearings before the end of the Congressional session even if legislation were introduced. In addition to the authorizing committees, the House Government Operations Subcommittee on Energy and Natural Resources, chaired by Congressman Mike Synar, is holding hearings on land trades at the end of this month. The committee is focusing on what principles should govern land trades in general, and is examining four partic- ular trades as well. The trades the committee is looking at are generally felt by opponents of land trades to be poor deals for the government. We spoke to Congressman Synar about the Vail swap, which he .had heard about. We indicated that we did not wish to include the Vail trade solely because we were concerned that if testimony were given before the committee on the Vail proposal, those in favor of the trade might be able to argue later that they had had a hearing. This might then help them get the proposal included in other (e, Page 2 legislation. Synar agreed not to include the Vail proposal based on our conversation. SENATE STATUS In the Senate, we have been concerned about the intentions of Senator Wirth. There have been many rumors that he intends to introduce the legislation, although he has never confirmed that fact to us. In a recent conversation with Liz, Senator Wirth indicated that he intended to at least hold off or "study the issue" for a while longer since, as he put it, "they aren't ready for this yet." Who "they" are that the Senator was referring to is unclear. However, in a recent conversation with Jim Martin, Wirth's Colorado staff director, Jim indicated that the staff remains divided on the issue and said that no final decision has been made yet. While the ultimate intentions of Senator Wirth remain in doubt, it does seem likely that he is not about to take any action ink the short term. This is significant since, even if legislation were introduced in the next few weeks, it is unlikely that enough time would remain in the Congressional calendar to accommodate Senate Committee and floor action. Remember that the House would also have to approve the bill in committee and on the floor, and would have to conclude a conference with the Senate, for legislation to be enacted. Consequently, even if the Senate acted, without a House member to introduce the legislation, a final bill world not result because both the House and the Senate have to agree and take action to pass a law. DEFENSIVE ACTION TAKEN However, as we have stated previously, there are other ways to pass legislation than through the formal authorization process. Gener- ally, such "back-door" enactments are done through the appropria- tions process. As a defense against such an attempt late in the session, we have also met with most of the relevant appropriations subcommittee chairmen whose bills would be the most likely place to attempt such an authorization. We feel we have gained the support of most of them, and at the very least, we would feel we would be warned if such an attempt were made. Most significantly, we have gained the support of Senator Bennett Johnston. Senator Johnston is the chairman of the authorizing committee in the Senate which oversees land trades, and he is also the chairman of the appropriations subcommittee most likely to be the vehicle for an authorization on an appropriations bill. Even if a different appropriations bill in the Senate were used to attempt an authorization, as chairman of the authorizing committee Senator Johnston could object and thereby block the attempt. Page 3 Because of Senator Johnston's key role in the Senate, and his ability to block any action on the land trade, the support of Vail for his reelection campaign was quite helpful. In the House, we have likewise been told by the chairman of the House authorizing subcommittee, Congressman Bruce Vento, that he would similarly object if any attempt were made to include an authorization for Vail in an appropriations bill. However, there is a slight possibility that he might not be informed if an attempt were made, or that the Rules Committee in the House could prevent him from attempting to strike an authorization that was already included in an appropriations bill before the floor of the House, so in the House it is even more critical to obtain the support (or at least an agreement to give us quiet warning) from the chairmen of the likely appropriations subcommittees. However, so far no authorization has been included in any House appropriations bill so far considered.

The largest parcel, 800 acres, is at the Spanish Peaks near Walsenberg. The Tennenbaums are wilting to purchase those parcels and swap the whole kit and kaboodle for the lone acre at Vail. Trouble is, Vail town officials have. gone -on record as opposing the deal. One member of the town council recent- . ly said that for many Vail skiers the acre,"may be as close as they come to a wilderness experience." - Say what? The parcel is :only yards away from a row of .housing, has a road running right up to it; is crossed by a .power line and sidles up to the bottom. of the Beartree ski . run. Vail snobbery aside, members of Colorado's congressio- nal delegation are expected to consider the proposal. If they agree it's a good deal, they will introduce federal legislation _ to authorize it.":~ Tlie parcels would be good buffers for the wilderness areas.

You will find that our outline is based upon the following premises: 1. Eagle County voters are unlikely to approve a tax increase for bus service in November even if the Town of Vail is identified as the likely provider of service. The current service has failed to demonstrate that a bus system is a truly viable transportation alternative. 2. A bus system which runs logical, convenient, on-time routes for a reasonable price must be proven possible before the voters will approve a tax increase to fund it. Therefore, the November bus election should be cancelled. 3. The Town of Vail should develop a plan to operate the Eagle County bus system under contract for a period of one to two years. After proving that such a system is viable, Eagle County voters will be asked to support it. If the system proves to not be viable, it will be scrapped and no vote held. ~ ,t BUS SYSTEM MEMO u JULY 27, 1990 PAGE 2 4. The proposed study will take several months to complete and several more months to implement. Therefore, the Town of Vail will not participate in a Eagle County bus system until Fall 1991. 5. Funding for the one to two year demonstration system should come from existing sources. This item will be scheduled for the August 7, 1990 work session for detailed discussion. Please call Ron or me with comments, suggestions, or questions in the meantime. ~ 1 • PROPOSED EAGLE COUNTY BUS SYSTEM I. ASSERTION It will be next to impossible for a bus system funded by a sales tax increase to get passed by Eagle County voters without first demonstrating a feasible system. The major proposition underlying the Town's approach to this problem is: "If you expect to change human behavior, you had better provide a reasonable alternative". II. DATA NEEDS A. What does it cost to operate current system? 1. cost per hour 2. compare costs with Town of Vail system B. How many riders in current system? 1. breakdown C. Do van pools work? 1.

If vote is affirmative: 1. Finance construction of bus facility 2. Purchase replacement vehicles as necessary 3. Purchase additional vehicles if necessary for expansion D. If vote is negative: 1. Sell all system assets and pay off lease/purchase. 2. Contributions may need to continue for a short period in order to pay off remainder of lease/ purchase. ADVANTAGES: 1. System is operated by a proven performer. 2. Capital risk is minimized. 3. Eagle County residents are allowed to experience a working system before voting on taxes to support it. 5 a DISTRIBUTION LIST - PUBLIC WORKS PRIORITY LIST BRIAN ANDERSON ERNST GLATZLE TOWN COUNCIL STEVE BARWICK SKIP GORDON GARY MURRAIN PETE BURNETT GREG HALL MIKE ROSE DICK DURAN SUSIE HERVERT TODD SCHOLL CAROLINE FISHER JIM HOZA DAN STANEK ANNIE FOX KEN HUGHEY LEO VASQUEZ JOHN GALLEGOS JOE KOCHERA PATTY BIERLE KRISTIN PRITZ HANK LOVATO FILE TODD OPPENHEIMER MEMORANDUM TO: RON PHILLIPS, TOWN MANAGER FROM: STAN BERRYMAN, DIRECTOR, PUBLIC WORKS/TRANSPORTATION!-~ DATE: JULY 23, 1990 RE: PUBLIC WORKS PRIORITY LIST FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 23 - 27, 1990 STREETS AND ROADS A. 1.

Box 2107 / Grand Junction, Colorado 81502-2107 (303) 248-7208 ~ ~8 r July 18, 1990 Mr. Stan Berryman, Director Department Public Works/Transportation Towns of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Stan: Reference is made to your letter of July 6, 1990 which requested approval to utilize four small areas adjacent to the South Frontage Road between Ford Park and the Vail Transportation Center as temporary bus pull-off areas during the current construction at the Transportation Center. This letter will serve as approval of your request. It is obvious that this temporary bus service will serve the interests of safety. As you recall the Colorado Department of Highways had approved temporary parking at Ford Park for the 1989 ski championship events. We understand that the Town wishes to improve this parking facility for permanent use. Permanent use will require evaluation of access needs in accordance with the Colorado Access Code. Access review can be initiated thru our Eagle maintenance office. Thanks for your continued cooperation. Very truly yours, ~ R. P.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Hermann Staufer made a motion to approve the minutes from June 13, 1990, second by Molloy, passed unanimously. McCarthy wants to know if The No Name Tournament has given their donation to the Nature Center. Jones will find out. TRINA JOHNSON: Wilson informed the Board that Trina Johnson, VMRD's Director at the Nature Center was injured in a bike accident. She is in intensive care in Denver. Flowers should be sent when she is able to receive them. GOLF IRRIGATION: Ben Krueger joins the meeting. (See the attached budget analysis of the irrigation system) They are proceeding on the current phase of the irrigation project. He estimates he will come in $1,500 over budget as of June 30. This phase of the project should be completed in two weeks. He will then send his crew on to the Ford Park tennis landscaping project. Meskimen made a motion to approve an additional $6, 500 for the irrigation system, stipulating that the dollars are to come from the course improvement budget, second by McCarthy, passed unanimously. FORD PARK TENNIS: Krueger stated the curbing around the patios has a crumbling problem. He and the architect will work out this problem prior to the contractor being paid. Krueger stated he can landscape this area with .the already approved $22,000. On top of the berm between the tennis court and softball field originally had been planned for aspen trees. It is too late in the year to plant these trees. Also people can climb this berm and view the stage at the Amphitheater. Therefore, Ben will now plant approximately 24 spruce trees on top of the berm to prevent people from climbing to the top and viewing the Amphitheater. On the softball side of the berm he will keep the planting clear to provide for future bleachers made of plank wood with gravel under Ithe wood. He is getting the estimates on the wood now. It is also too late for seed and he will sod the area. Ben can sod within the allotted $22,000. The Board instructed Krueger to proceed with the plans and changes as noted. FINANCIAL REPORT: Jones asked the Board for any questions. The Board had no directions or requests of Jones at this time. SUB COMMITTEE REPORTS: GOLF COURSE Bruce Firm joins the meeting. The Golf sub committee met yesterday anld discussed the following: -Irrigation - they want to encourage the Board to approve the next phase of the irrig ~tion as it is very important to the golf operation. IAn idea they had for paying for the next phase is to earmark any surplus revenues that may be realized in the 1990 year. Reciprocal Golf: Keystone Ranch will be happy to trade and he is still working on and arrangement with Singletree. I Fees are up over last June, Carts are down $20 from last June and memberships are 86$ oil the goal. The sub committee also discussed meeting again with the hotels to market a full golf package. Discussed the user fee, i.e., keep the pass rate the same next year and add a $1 user fee. Currently doing a survey on the topic now. Bag tickets are coming in next week and Bruce will be reviewing furtherlcomputer screens for the golf computer system which will be installed shortly. Herman cautions against depending on projected revenue. Rain can always come and change any surplus which may be showing on the books now. He too has spoken to the, owners of Singletree and they are thinking about allowing a trade. I GENERAL RECREATION Laurie Asmussen joins the meeting. King of the Mountain Volleyball Tournament was a great success. There were 450 two man/women teams from 7 states participating. The Lacrosse tournament starts tomorrow. The organizers of this event are a little upset with the condition of thel berm i.e. no landscaping. They will have TV coverage and feel the berm will not make for a good background. There is a major concern regarding the bridge which is out between the Nature Center and lower Ford Park. The Town assured us that this bridge would be completed by the 4th of July and they have not even started work on it. The Town has promised to reopen the bridge during this holiday week and put up better signage to help people park and walk to the soccer field, Ford Park and the Nature Center. The Hill Climb foot race will be Sunday July 1, 1990. There are 400 participants expected for this event. COMMUNITY SERVICE Joanne Mattio joins the meeting. She handed out posters and flyers for the upcoming Fourth of July events. She too reiterated the problem of the bridge being out between the Nature Center and Ford Park. Hermann Staufer stated he would be at a parking meeting tomorrow and he would request this bridge be completed ASAP by the TOV. Joanne invited all the Board members to attend or volunteer for any and all events, just give her a call. SKI CLUB VAIL: Erik Steinberg joins the meeting at 4:10 PM. Ski Club Vail had gone to the Vail Town Council to request they give Ski Club Vail some of their free days allowed in the agreement between the TOV and VMRD. Town Council did not want to give away potential revenue to VMRD and requested Ski Club Vail first speak to VMRD. Ski Club Vail is requesting two free days over the Memorial Day weekend. Steinberg stated Ski Club Vail could help VMRD recap some of the lost rental fee through a percentage of the gate, take over the maintenance of the old soccer field located behind Ski Club Vail or possibly help VMRD run a winter ski event. Steinberg's letter also indicated they could possibly pay rent from the 15~ sales tax revenue collected at the sport swaps. Steve Barwick of the TOV stated the TOV's ordinance does not allow the TOV to return the 15$ sales tax to Ski Club Vail. Staufer would like to consider a percentage of the gate receipt to off set the rental of the arena. Wilson would like to Ice Arena sub committee to review the dates of this event and the possibility of giving the arena away for free. Staufer does not feel the sub committee needs to direct the Board. He has staff input that there is no events scheduled at this time for the arena on Memorial Day weekend, 1991. Molloy made a motion to give Ski Club Vail the Dobson Ice Arena rent free on May 25 & 26, 1991 and in return Ski Club Vail will give VMRD 100$ of the gate receipts up to $2,400 for the two days, second by McCarthy. Note: This will be a VMRD donation, and not a donation via the TOV free days usage at Dobson. Vote: Yes - Staufer, McCarthy, Mollloy No - Wilson Abstain - Meskimen due to his connection with Ski Club Vail I . Wilson voted no because this is a deviation from the policy which had previously been set by the Board. He feels many other groups will now itry to negotiate a "gate fee" contract which in the past has not been a good deal for VMRD. I Staufer feels for the past 20 years on Memorial weekend, the Dobson Arena has not been used. This is a perfect opportunity for the Arena to make some money. SALARY RECLASSI- FICATION: Jones stated the Youth Worker (currently held by Robin Olson) position has changed over the years and Mattio, he and Dodson (prior to his leaving) all felt this position needed to have its salary) range adjusted commensurate with the job. This position is very similar to a program coordinator. `The Board feels they should not make an exception regarding a particular position's salary classification during the middle of the year. I The Board wants to reclass Robin Olson as a Youth Services Program Coordinator and at Ithe 1991 budget process they will look at the Youth Worker position's pay scale and make adjustments at thit time. JEFF CAMPBELL: Jones stated the dinner for Jeff Campbell is July 6, 1990 and he will be presented with the Youth Recognition Award. The Board felt they should not buy tickets as a Board action, but individually would be appropriate. PUBLIC INPUT: BATCH'S RESTAURAN'~ Steve Satterstrom joins the meeting. Batch's restaurant is requ~estinq that the island be taken out of the legal description of the premises (see attached proposed agreement). They no longer wish their liquor license to include this area. The Board wants Jones to call Collins and ask what kind of liabilities VMRD will incur if we take over the island. Meskimen made a motion to approve the draft of the Second Amendment to Lease Agreement, pending an OK from Collins, second by McCarthy, passed unanimously. Softball Fields Meskimen wants the fencing on the softball field to be looked at. He wants Foster to have his maintenance person do a list of repairs and report it to the Board. PURCHASE ORDERS: The Board wants to know where the $2,000 for radios came from out of the Golf Budget - ask Bruce Firm. Molloy made a motion to approve the purchase orders as presented, second by Meskimen, passed unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: The Board went into executive session to discuss personnel matters at 5:30 PM. Meeting adjourned at 6:30 PM. Gail Malloy, Secretary FOLLOW-UP ITEMS FROM 4/20/90 VMRD HOARD MEETING - 1. NO NAME GOLF TOURNAMENT: Donation of approximately $1200 was paid to the Nature Center. (Tom Korchowsky stated that it might be difficult affording the originally stated $1500, so the formula was instead based on a set amount per entry). 2. FORD PARK PATIO: Verified that payment is being withheld until the finished product of the curbing is deemed to be satisfactory. Bill Pierce is involved. 3. GOLF COURSE RADIO: These are radios used for communication between Bruce, the rangers, starters and people involved in various tournaments. The old radios were malfunctioning and needed to be replaced. Purchase was made from the golf course miscellaneous account, of which there is, at this time, a sufficient amount available. 4. SYMPHONY OF SPORTS FLYERS,: SOS was included on flyers distributed prior to and during July 4th week - however, the specific SOS flyers will not be available until after July 4th due to production delays and budget limitations. 5. LEGAL LIABILITY OF GOLF COURSE ISLAND: Waiting to hear back from Jim Collins. 5. MAINTENANCE AT SOFTBALL FIELDS: See the list below for tasks to be completed. Most of the work involves Park Maintenance staff time rather than purchase of materials. Work will be performed over the course of the next few weeks. Steve Foster is out of town, but can follow up on this item for the next Board meeting, if desired. SOFTBALL FIELDS - REPAIRS TO BE COMPLETED EAST FIELD -Finish landscaping behind fences (dugout area, spectator area) -East foul line fence - needs bottom pipe installed -Construct bleachers into berm when Ben landscapes -Behind first base - level berm, remove mud off grass, fix sprinkler heads, add more top mix behind 1st, 2nd & 3rd bases to edge of grass -Install water fountain GENERAL: -Mow all berms (N side next to frontage road, S side next to amphitheater) -Repair outfield fences on all fields -Sand and paint all players benches -Install players benches on east field -Fill, level and grade the sewer line to tennis courts (bike path extension on south side of Ford Park) TO: TIM GARTON FROM: ~~U PAT DODSON DATE: / JULY 31, 1989 SUBJECT: SUB COMMITTEES The matter of sub committees poses some rather important problems. The principal of sub committees is sound. The practical functioning can frequently create difficulties. To most people the concept of interest groups suggests the unfavorable image of improper activities and pressure upon policy makers to grant special favors and even to deviate from ethical norms and legal rules. There is considerable disagreement among authorities as to the impact of interest groups on local policy making. There is good reason to believe that in most cities they are not the most important factor, neither are they likely to be unimportant. Various studies do show however that the influence of interest groups is often an important factor in the positions taken by various public officials on policy issues. When you think of board sub committees you immediately ask what for? For budgeting, planning direction, policy recommendations, bonding and other policies, financial or legislative responsibilities - yes. For tennis, golf, ice skating, crafts or other specifics - no. Even up the ladder to broader interest areas as sub committees for sports, outdoor education, cultural activities, maintenance, personnel and other operational programs in administrative areas -no. If your most able person heads up the tennis sub committee, the District will prosper, but golf may suffer and vice versa. There is no way to achieve balance in a situation like this. If any board member takes it upon himself to become the administrator in any area of work you have no need for competent professionals. If you have them now, you will not have them long. If sub committees are too permanent there is a danger of creating exclusiveness and competition between board members and the professional. A sub committee on a small board creates exclusiveness and power. I believe sub committees should be appointed only on the basis of actual need such as finance, program facilities, capital improvements, etc. All board members may not have the time to specialize in all areas and sub committees can function efficiently and expeditiously in concentrated work in presenting the facts to the board as a whole. I recommend that sub committees should be appointed to work on special projects i.e. bonding on the swimming pool, with the termination of the committee ending upon the completion of the project or as in the case of a finance sub committee, which may be of a permanent nature, the committee and tenure of the chairman ' should be defined and spelled out. The danger ofd a totally orientated sub committee is a universal danger in over specialization. I believe all the members of VMRD Board should be interested in the total picture - Nature Center, Youth Center, golf, tennis, etc. The sub committee that was established to address the nordic center issue was a good one. I question however the need for a permanent John A. Dobson arena sub committee unless they have a specific task i.e. making the arena pay for itself. In no way should the sub committee be of a permanent nature that encourages running of the facility by committee. It certainly does not help VMRD's image as a overall recreation board vs. a special interest board if there are three members (a quorum) sitting on a committee. The sub committees should be represented by Board and staff members alike and should be working as a team for the betterment of recreation in vail based upon the approved mission statement, goals and objectives of VMRD board. If there is only special interest by Board members, then they should resign from the board and seek sub committee positions rather than board member seats. I respectfully ask the board to consider the role and value of the subcommittees and make sure they serve to better the entire vail recreation system. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE AD HOC ROLE OF A SUB COMMITTEE, AND DESIRE A MORE PERMANENT STRUCTURE THEN I WOULD RECOMMEND THE FOLLOWING POLICY. PROCESS: The formation and use of subcommittees can be extremely beneficial to VMRD in making decisions or policies. Sub committee members should be selected by the Board at a regular meeting and selection should be based on information submitted i.e. resume, involvement in the community, and special interests. It should also be recognized that each committee member may have a strong bias to a sport or committee they are serving on. STRUCTURE OF THE COMMITTEE: The overall committee is made.up of 1 VMRD board member, 1 staff member and 5 citizens. PURPOSE OF SUB COMMITTEES: To help V1rIItD Board members and staff develop and establish policy that will guide VM1tD. SELECTION PROCESS: Appointed by VMRD Board members for a specific term. Selection is based on information submitted, resume, interest in the support, availability to serve. COMMITTEE MEMBER'S TERM: Two years unless reappointed by the Board. COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN: Will be the staff member. REMUNERATION: You serve totally in a volunteer capacity and at the pleasure of the VMRD Board. BENEFITS: There are none. MEETING/ORGANIZATION: The staff is in charge of setting agenda, recording minutes and making formal proposals to the full board stating the committee's finding and the staff's recommendation on those findings. MATERIALS FOR MEETINGS: All agendas and supporting papers will come from the committee chairman. ITS A JOB AND REQUIRES WORK: Each sub committee member is asked to commit a certain amount of time both for meetings and preparation for meetings to discuss issues and make suggestions on each agenda item that will help the board in making their decisions. NEPOTISM: Relatives of staff members cannot serve on a committee if the staff members is the chairman of that committee. COMMITTEE MEMBER'S AUTHORITY: A committee member has no authority. They serve at the will of the Board and assist them in making policies. All information at the sub committee level will be expressed to the Board members at regular meetings through the staff chairman. SUB COMMITTEE MEETINGS: All meetings will be held on an as needed basis and pre arranged through the staff chairman. APPROVED COMMITTEES: General Recreation Committee - Barb Masoner, Chairman Will represent and discuss pertinent information pertaining to tennis, summer/winter athletics, Red Sandstone Gym programs, x- country ski. Community Service Committee - Ceil Folz, Chairman Nature Center, Potpourri Day Camp, After School Enrichment Program Swimming Pool Committee - Pat Dodson, Chairman Only to the swimming pool project which is proposed for the Ford Park site.
