Backaround Rationale: The applicant has proceeded through the planning process, and has received approval from the Planning and Environmental Commission (6-0) and the Design Review Board (4-0) for the proposed modular telephone cell site. One of the Planning and Environmental Commission's conditions of approval was to secure Town Council approval of a sublease agreement between the applicant and the Eagle County School District.

There are also Handicapped stops at the driveway entrance. Staff and the Medical Center Administration agree that it makes sense to combine these stops and locate the combined stops near the driveway.

Our understanding is that in exchange for continuing to allow free resident golf and tennis passes (on which certain restrictions concerning times of play may apply) to Town of Vail full-time employees, the Town agrees to lease the Booth Creek parcel of land to the District free (or for nominal consideration) for development and subsequent operation of a PAR 3 Golf Course. The rent-free arrangement described here would continue for a minimum of five seasons starting with and including the initial season of play, or until the golf course realizes a net profit for an entire season, whichever occurs later. At such time, the Town and the Vail Recreation District could elect to extend the agreement under the same terms or renegotiate. In the latter case, the Town would revert to paying the District for its employee golf-tennis passes, and the District would pay a percentage of gross revenue (7% was discussed) at the PAR 3 course, to the extent this amount does not exceed net profit, to the Town. The dates of initial development of and play on the proposed PAR 3 golf course are uncertain at this time. It is understood that this Letter of Understanding is a conceptual and broad outline of the parties agreement and that the details of the possession and use of the property known as the Booth Creek parcel shall be set forth in a written lease between the District and the Town and that this Letter of Understanding shall be subordinate to the lease.

NOTE FROM FOREST SUPERVISOR TOM HOOTS As part of the continuing Forest planning process, the White River National Forest and the Dillon Ranger District of the Arapaho National Forest are beginning a process to review the suitability, potential, and availability of National Forest System {ands for {ease for the exploration, development, and production of oil and gas. This analysis and determination of availability is provided for by the 1987 Federal Onshore Oil and Gas Leasing Reform Act. Lands which are legally withdrawn, such as wilderness areas, will not be included in this review. Leasing for oil and gas is a valid use of public lands as authorized in the 1920 Mineral Leasing Act and other related law. We recognize that it is difficult in decisions such as this to find the proper balance between the esthetic and natural values of the White River National Forest and the potential disturbance created by oil and gas production. We hope you will join with us in finding that balance. - Enclosed is more detailed information on why we are preparing an Environmental Impact Statement. We invite you to participate in our study and to send us any issues you feel we should address in our analysis process.

EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO September 27, 1991 'RE: Amendments to Land Use Regulations Wood Burning Controls Dear Reviewer: Approximately four months ago, the Eagle County Board of County Commissio!lErs considered amendments to the Eagle County Land Use Regulatio?is to control the pollution caused by wood smoke. It was determined at that time that further revisions needed to be made to the proposal prior to acceptance. Eagle Comity is considering this for several reasons which include: 1. To improve the quality of life, as pollution caused by wood smoke causes visibility degradation which detracts from the natural beauty of the County, discouraging tourism, and creating a negative impact of the local economy. 2. Waod smoke contains substances ~:iiat, dit daiigclGi.iS tv human health and the environment. 3. Eagle County wishes to remain in attainment of ambient air quality standards to avoid State mandates that could force implementation of aggressive actions which may include the removal of existing wood burning devices. Therefore, enclosed are the most recent amendments for your review and comment. Please read these amendments within the context of the entire Land Use Regulations document. Your comments must be received by the Community Development Department no later than 5:00 p.m., November 4, 1991. Attached is a copy of the public notice which indicates the respective hearing dates.

PURPOSE AND INTENT The Eagle County Board of County Commissioners hereby find and declare air quality to be an important part of the health, safety and welfare of the community, and that the Board of County Commissioners have a duty to protect and improve air quality in and around Eagle County not only for the health, safety and general welfare of it's residents and visitors, but also because air pollution resulting from the use of wood burning devices reduces the desirability of Eagle County as a recreation and tourism destination, thus affecting the aesthetic and economic welfare of the County. The Board of Commissioners find and declare the present level of degradation to air quality to be unacceptable and recognize the need to achieve the maximum practical degree of air purity possible by requiring the use of all available practical methods and techniques to control, prevent and reduce air pollution caused by wood smoke. It is the intent of the Board of County Commissioners to enact reasonable regulations to control pollution caused by wood smoke for the purpose of improving the air quality, aesthetic and economic environments of Eagle County.

Box 179 Eagle, Colorado 81631 Dear Mr. Merry, As representatives of a community within Eagle County which has recently passed an air quality ordinance, we would like to express support for the proposed amendments to the Eagle County Land Use Regulations. The county's position that these control measures are necessary to improve the quality of life as well as to preserve and protect the aesthetic integrity of the area which is a major factor in it's economic viability is laudable. The proposed control measures are very similar to those passed by the Town of Vail earlier this year. While the proposed regulations make no mention of gas fireplaces or gas appliances, it is assumed they are an acceptable alternative in those areas where gas is available. The position taken to prohibit woodburning devices in multiple family dwelling units except for one new technology unit in the common area of such a building is both progressive and commendable. The one area of the proposed regulations which presents an area of concern is the provision to allow one conventional open hearth fireplace per building which contains motel, hotel or lodge uses. It seems unfairly lax or restrictive depending on the perspective to allow a conventional open hearth fireplace in hotel lobbies, but then to allow only one new technology device in common areas of multiple family buildings. It would seem that a more equitable way of handling this situation would be to treat both types of properties the same. It is possible that some re-evaluation of this topic is warranted. We would like to take this opportunity to express the Town of Vail's support for the proposed control measures. If you have any questions or would like further input on this issue please do not hesitate to contact Susan Scanlan, our Environmental Health Officer at 479-2138.

All sums of money paid by any person purchasing a lift ticket from any ski area operator shall be and remain public money, the property of the Town in the hands of such ski area operator, and he shall hold the same in trust for the sole use and benefit of the Town until paid to the Finance Director, and for failure to so pay to the Finance Director, such ski area operator shall be punished as provided herein. B. 1) If a ski area operator neglects or refuses to make a return in payment of the tax required by this chapter, the Finance Director shall estimate the amount of taxes due, based upon such information as may be available, for the period or periods which the taxpayer is delinquent; and upon the basis of such estimated amount compute and assess in addition thereto a penalty equal to ten percent (10%) thereof, together with interest on such delinquent taxes at the rate of one percent (1 per month from the date when due. 2} Promptly thereafter the Finance Director shall give to the delinquent taxpayer notice of such estimated taxes, penalty, and interest. 3) Such estimates shall thereupon become an assessment, and such assessment shall be final and due and payable from the taxpayer to the Finance Director thirty (30) days from the date of the mailing of the notice by first class mail directed to the last known address of such person on file with the Finance Department. Within thirty (30) days after the notice of deficiency is mailed, the taxpayer may petition the Finance Director for a hearing on a revision or modification of such assessment. 4) Such petition shall be in writing, and the facts and figures submitted shall be submitted under oath either in writing or orally at a hearing scheduled by the Director of Finance.

If any taxes, penalty, or interest proposed by this article and shown due by returns filed by the taxpayer or shown by assessments duly made as provided herein are not paid within thirty (30) days after the same are due, the Director of Finance shall issue a notice setting forth the name of the taxpayer, the amount of the tax, penalties and interest, the date of the accrual thereof and that the Town claims a first a prior lien therefore on the real and tangible property of the taxpayer, except as to preexisting perfected liens of a mortgagee, pledgee, judgement creditor, or claims of a bona fide purchaser whose rights shall have attached tax prior to the filing of notice as herein provided on property of the taxpayer other than the goods, stock and trade and business fixtures of such taxpayer. Said notice shall be on forms furnished by the Finance Department and shall be verified by the Town Manager or by the Finance Director or any duly qualified agent of the Town Manager or the Finance Director, whose duties are the collection of such tax, and may be filed in the office of the County Clerk and Recorder in which the taxpayer owns real or tangible personal property and the filing of such notice shall create a lien on such property in that County and constitute notice thereof. After such notice has been filed, or concurrently therewith, or at any time when taxes due are unpaid, whether such notice shall have been filed or not, the Finance Director may issue a warrant directed to any duly authorized revenue collector, or the Sheriff of the County commanding him to levy upon, seize, and sell sufficient of the real and personal property of the amount due together with interest, penalties, and costs as may be provided by law, subject to valid preexisting claims or liens. B. Such revenue collector or the Sheriff shall forthwith levy upon sufficient of the property of the taxpayer or any property used by such taxpayer in conducting his business and said property so levied upon shall be sold in all respects to and with like effect and in the same manner as is prescribed by law with respect to executions against property upon judgement of a court of record, and the remedies of garnishment shall apply.

Any lien for taxes is shown on the records of the County Clerk and Recorder as provided in this section, upon payment of all taxes, penalties, and interest covered thereby shall 4 3% be released by the Finance Director in the same manner as mortgages and judgements are released. D. The Finance Director may also treat any such taxes, penalties, or interest due and unpaid as debt due to the Town from the taxpayer. The return of the taxpayer or the assessment made by the Finance Director as provided in this chapter shall be prima facia proof of the amount due. To recover such taxes, penalties, or interest due the Finance Director may bring an action and a writ of attachment may be issued to the Sheriff. At any such proceedings, no bond shall be required of the Finance Director, nor shall any Sheriff require the Finance Director an indemnifying bond for executing the writ of attachment or writ of execution upon any judgement entered in such proceedings. The Finance Director may prosecute appeals in such cases without the necessity of providing bond thereof. It is the duty of the Town Attorney, when requested by the Finance Director to commence action for the recovery of taxes due under this chapter and this remedy shall be in addition to all existing remedies provided in this chapter. E. In any action affecting the title to real estate or the ownership of rights to possession of personal property, the Town may be made a party defendant for the purposes of obtaining and adjudication or determination of its lien upon the property involved therein. In any such action, service of summons upon the Finance Director or any person in the office of the Finance Director shall be sufficient service and shall be binding upon the Town. F. The Finance Director is authorized to waive for good cause shown any penalty assessed as provided in this chapter and any interest imposed in excess of ten percent (10%) per annum. 5.08.100 Tax Lien A. The tax imposed by this chapter shall be a first and prior lien upon the goods and business fixtures of or used by any ski area operator, excepting stock of goods sold or for sale in the ordinary course of business, and shall take precedence on all such property over other liens or claims of any kind or nature whatsoever. B.

In discussing the future of the sites with the current owners' representatives, it is their intention to sell the properties to individual developers and not develop the properties themselves. The representative foresees requests for amendments to the SDD from future owners. The staff and PEC are currently reviewing a request for a major amendment to the SDD for the Cosgriff parcel, located between the Westin and the existing Millrace project along the creek. This request is scheduled for review by the Council on November 5, 1991. In our review of this. project, the staff is addressing the "big picture" by negotiating with the developer certain off-site improvements. This approach will be taken with each amendment request to SDD #4 in order to insure the comprehensive development of the Cascade project. In addition to the undeveloped projects in Cascade Village, there are concerns with the undedicated portion of Westhaven Drive. A meeting is being set up between the owners' representatives to discuss the future of this roadway from the South Frontage Road to the bridge over Gore Creek Drive. The Town does limited maintenance on the roadway because it must be able to access the Glen Lyon subdivision for the maintenance of dedicated roads and the provision of emergency services. The staff and owners will reach a mutual agreement on either the dedication of the roadway to the Town or a contract on the maintenance responsibilities of the Town. a~, TOWN OF PAIL ?S Soutb Frontage Road Department of Public Works/Transportation Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2158/FAX 303-479-2166 October 23, 1991 Mr. Jeff Bowen + Director of Community Affa~.rs Vail/Eagle Valley Rotary Club 5047 Main Gore Drive Vail, Co 81657 ~ ~ ~ Dear Jeff, ~ _ - - - - Now that the 1991 Rotary Club tree planting project has been successfully completed, I would like to extend my thanks and provide you with an itemization of the project costs.

We have appreciated the opportunity to serve Vail and its residents. We are now looking forward to the renewal of our franchises. As you may know, the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 ("Cable Act") contains provisions which detail a procedure for the renewal of franchises. In order to comply with these provisions, the Company is formally requesting that Vail commence renewal proceedings in accordance with the requirements of Section 626 (a) of the Cable Act. The Cable Act does, however, in Section 626 (h), provide for renewal of franchises without going through the extensive, formal procedure specified. in Section 626 (a) through (g). It seems to us that the informal process may be preferable for all concerned. We would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss the renewal proceedings outlined in the Cable Act. We look forward to meeting with you in the near future and to a continuing, mutually- beneficial relationship. Very truly yours, Cablevision YI , Inc.

We look forward to sitting down with you and informally discussing the terms of a renewed franchise agreement. We understand that the formal procedures which may be required under the Cable Act will be held in abeyance during such discussions. We understand that you reserve your rights relating to the formal procedures if the informal negotiations are not successful. We also understand that if the informal negotiations do not conclude and a renewed franchise is not granted on or before one year prior to the .end of the franchise, the City will be required to undertake the more formal procedures contained in the Cable Act, including ascertainment hearings, a preliminary determination of renewal or non-renewal detailing the reasons for the action, the establishment of requirements for facilities and equipment that it expects to be delivered in a renewed franchise, an indication of the community cable-related needs and interests to which a renewal proposal should respond, and a completion of administrative hearings considering factors set forth in the Cable Act. We look forward to completing this process with you. Very truly yours, XYZ CITY By: Its: t October 22, 1991 Mr. E. B. Chester 395 Mill Creek Circle Vail, CO 81657 Re: Vail Cable T.V. Franchise Ordinance & Heritage Cable T.V. Franchise Agreement Dear E. B.. After a..careful review of the above-referenced agree- ments, I thought. it appropriate that I commit some.of my thoughts regarding these documents to this writing. From an. overall perspective, both documents are extremely thorough and well written. I have dealt with and evaluated several hundred agreements and have found the Vail agreements, by comparison, much more comprehensive than most. However, a major consideration for the Mayor and other officials of Vail to evaluate should be the upgrade of the cable facili- ties. The present configuration outlined. in the existing Heri- tage Franchise Agreement does not allow adequate programming div- ersification for the future. I'm sure that there are requests for additional programming choices in the Vail community, or will be in the future, but the present 36 channel system does not pro- vide Vail residents the capability with which to meet expansion requests. My recommendation is that the community seek an upgrade to 54 channels in exchange fora 10 year franchise grant and allow the cable company 36 months to complete the project. The posting of a construction performance bond is not_uncommon in these situations and the company should not object to one being in place. Since the current agreement does not expire until 1994, a negotiating posture that succeeds in the renegotiation of a 10 year agreement to_start_in 1992 would be beneficial to both the Town and company. .The company may want some .rate concessions at the completion of the upgrade project given the costs associ- ated with the system enhancements. It is difficult to evaluate what constitutes.a fair return_on their investment, but given the fact that residents are being charged one of the highest basic service rates I.have seen for the basic. level of service:cur- rently being provided,.. those rate adjustments should be minimal over the life of the franchise. Appropriate changes .should be made in the Town's ordinance as well, to define the Town's expec- tations for other potential operators. ' 9 Page 2 October 22, 1991 Other recommendations that the Tnwn._should consider in its deliberations include reducing_from_30 to 25 the number of residential units in a linear mile of cable plant for extensions, outlined in Section 8(A); 24_hour_notification to_subscribers on planned shutdowns for maintenance outlined in Section 13(D); allowing the company to..charge a reasonable fee for service calls when the trouble_ is in. the customers receiving equipment, Section 13(E); and under Section 26, all notices should be sent to the local manager as_well as other locations designated in the para- graph. As I indicated_at the outset of this.letter,.both the Ordinance and the r^ranchise are.extremely.well written and com- prehensive, and it is obvious that Town officials have prepared themselves well in providing a.fair and equitable agreement. They should now focus on enhancing the systems technical capabil- ity to prepare for continued communications growth into the new century. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to evaluate the Vail documents and best wishes in your negotiations.

I regret the calls for emergency service occurred at such a frequency during your stay, and apologize for any disturbance to you or your family. We continually work to balance safety with ambiance in our community and, particularly with emergency services, this can be a challenge. Our firefighters work under a policy of not using sirens, especially at night, unless there is significant traffic present between the station and the main 4-way stop on the Frontage Road. However, when traffiic is present it becomes necessary from a safety standpoint, and from the aspect of getting to the emergency as quickly as possible, to use the siren at that location. Ambulances entering and exiting the Vail Valley Medical Center impact the area around the Vail Village Inn, as well. Again, we apologize for any disturbance the emergency vehicles caused you, but I'm sure you understand the precarious situation which this presents. We are continuing to work toward a policy which meets the safety needs of both the Medical Center and the fire department and takes into consideration needs of nearby guests and residents. Thank you again for letting us know of your concerns and we hope you will visit Vail again soon. Si er ly, Rondall V.

LAR~y Dear Mayor Rose & Council Members: Information regarding the Sales Tax Simplification Ordinance proposed by the Colorado Municipal League was sent to members of your staff last week. I would like to take this opportunity to encourage your active participation in implementing this ordinance. Sales and use taxes are the major funding source for most of our vital local services, and the businesses that help generate these revenues contribute significantly toward meeting service demands and maintaining the financial health of local government. Differences in local sales and use tax ordinances are often frustrating for businesses and have contributed to recent initiatives aimed at reducing or eliminating our home rule authority to collect sales and use taxes. Initiatives leading to State control of local sales and use tax would have devastating financial results for all of us. Now is the time to take positive steps in reducing some of the problems identified by the Colorado business community through adoption of the Sales Tax Simplification Ordinance. The Colorado Municipal League is recommending adoption of the ordinance by all home rule municipalities by November 30, 1991, with an effective date on or before January 1, 1992. The City of Fort Collins wishes to shovr the business community its good faith by implementing the Simplification Ordinance effective January 1, 1992. I strongly encourage you to consider the advantages of adopting the ordinance as a show of confidence to the business community, as well as helping preserve local control.

We would be most pleased for the opportunity to bid on this project and present our extensive exper- ience in consulting with government organizations. The firm has a 14 year history of serving clients in Vail and has high interest in assisting the town in its effort to improve effec- tiveness. Because of our depth of experience in government operations and organization and because of our awareness of and sensitivity to local issues, we possess a unique combination of skills and local perspective, which we would bring to the study. We have followed the newspaper articles concerning this proposed project with interest. We plan to address in our proposal the con- cerns expressed about the large cost of the project ($60,000 to $70,000). We envision a phased approach to the project, which would only pursue additional phases of study (in a particular department or function) if the preliminary review of that department indicated sufficient concerns or probable improvements to warrant further effort. In other words, we envision a preliminary review of the organization during which the areas of high probable return from additional efforts would be identified. Then, after town council and management approval of the direction of additional efforts, further detailed analysis of individual departments would be started. If the efforts on the project begin to provide only declining bene- fits to the town during the subsequent phases of the project, we would expect to wrap up the project. We find that this approach will assure that the savings and efficiencies gained from the project will far exceed the costs expended, rather than defining a $70,000, large project with vague results as an end product. We look forward to the opportunity to provide a detailed presentation , of our experience on similar projects; we will include that in our proposal once we receive your request for proposal.

On March 11, 1991 rho East Village Homeowners Association submitted a letter to the Town of Vail, regarding amendments to the View Corridor Ordinance #13, Se- ries 1983 (see attachment). The letter was submitted to the Community Develop• ment Department in conjunction with a public hearing being conducted by the Planning and Environmental Commission. The public hosting concerned amendments to the View Corridor Ordinance. Tho Homeowners Association's letter rcquastad that certain view corridors be es- tablished for the East V111age neighborhood. The viaw corridors being requested had s direct bearing and relationship to the Frivolous Sala (Christiania) View Corridor under consideration in the propostd amendment. To our knowledge the Planning and Environmental Commission did not acknowledge or respond to our request trot did the Community Development 1epartment staff. A second public hearing was conducted by the Planning and Environmental Commission on April 22, 1991. At that meeting our March 11, 1991 letter was not presented to the Flanning and Environmental Commission in the accompanying staff memorandum nor was there mention of the conflicts which existed between the Homeowners Association's requests and that being made by the Christiania Lodge. To our knowledge no acknowledgement or response to our rep{asst was . forthcoming. On May 7, 1991 at a regular meeting of the Vail Tvwn Council the first reading of Ordinance No. 13, Series 1991 was conducted. At that meeting tits Homaownars As- sociation's March 11, 1991 letter was not presented to the Town Council, nor was there a mention of the latter by the planning staff. Tho accompanying staff memorandum and presentation made no mention of the conflicts which existed between the Homeowners Association's requests and the proposal being made by the Christiania Lodge. In my July and August 1991 ~ letters to yva and the Town Council Y reiterated the Homeowners Association's request to establish view corridors in rho public inter- est from the public atraats of the East Village neighborhood. 1 G, 25. 3 1 04 4 5 Plui MOTOROLA CORD I-i6'!TS P G13 Mayor Kent Rose October 2S, 1991 Page Two A Septombar 4, 1991 totter from the Community Development Director, Kristen Fritz indicated that there were problems with monumentatian and budgetary consideration affiliated with the Homeowners Association's request. Subsequent to receipt of this letter I authorized an expenditure that provided for the documentation of the East Village Viaw Corridor. The documentation was for- warded to the Town Council on October 1, 1991. The documentation that was sub- . mltted conforms to standards set forth in the View Corridor Ordinance and arc the same as those provided by others soaking to adopt or amend a view corridor. As a result of this effort It was found that the manumentation problem referred to in tho Diroctor's letter is the result of deflclencies in the survey information provided in the 1983 originating vrdinancc. The ordinance neglects to provide surveying documentation that allows for the viewpoint, the survey point from which all view alignment sightings arc taken, to be located. It Is my understand- ing that any party wishing to locate the viewpoint must do so by agreement with the surveyor who conducted the original survey. This arrangement does not ap- pear to serve the public interest. In an article regarding view corridors that appeared in the May 9, 1991 Vail Daily (see attached). I note that the Town Council urged the town staff to proceed with the necessary studies that would provide for the adoption of additional view corri- dors, In the article I do not note any discussion regarding ]imitation imposed on the project due to budgetary constraints. In an October ld, 1991 lattar frgm the Community Development Director concern- ing our continuing application to establish the East Village View Corridor, we are told that consideration will be given when funds are available to "study" new view corridors in the Village area. However, the Christiania (Frivolous Sala) will be brought before the Town Council despite the apparent conflict with our request. It is tho "further study" position of the Community Development Director that give me mpst serious concern. I am troubled by the thought that the Christiania View Corridor can be approved without adequate study of the effects upvn the proposed East Village View Corridor when there is an obvious interrelationship. It is my understanding tho scope of study roquirad to evaluate a viow corridor falls fully within the profcssivnal competency of the town's planning staff. We do nat agree that oonsidaration of our proposed view corridor should be dolayed because of an ill-defined need, for a larger view corridor study. It is our position that Interrelated view eorridars should bo considered at the same time, not sepa- rately as is being realized under the prosent circumstances. 1 Q. 2 5. 9 1 04 4 5 PM ~MOT~ROLA C4Rp' HATS P r, 4 Mayor Kent Rose October 25, 1991 Page Three The proposed East Village Viaw Corridor preservCg far mare than the Christiania Corridor. The East Village Viaw Corridor would preserve views of fire tore Range, Red Standstone Mountain and Vail Village, C3olden Peak, and Vail Mountain with the Vista Baun. I am concerned that the Town Council has not been given notice or adequate in- formation to make art informed judgement with regards to the conflicts between these two proposals. Through our efforts to provide the Town Council with information regarding the East Village View Corridor, it has bean our intent to demonstrate to the Town Council that there is intrinsic value in the public interest, to preserve the pan- oramic views from the East Village neighborhood. Thus far we do not believe we have been given an opportunity to do so. Again, I ask your timely review of our requests prior to your final consideration of the Christiania (Frivolous Sals) 'View Corridor.

The East Village Homeowners Association requests that the Town Council and the Planning and Environmental Commission include the following additional view corridors in the amendment of Ordinance No. 13, 1983 now under consideration by the Town of Vail. 1. The view to be protected extends to the South from the North right-of-way line of Gore Creek Drive. 2. The view to be protected extends to the West from the North right-of-way line of Gore Creek Drive and the South right-of-way line of Hansen Ranch Road. Further, we request that the terms of the Amendment provide that this amendment to Ordinance No. 13, 1983 become effective upon signature by the Mayor or the soonest date as provided for in the Vail Town Charter.

Phillips Town Manager Town of Vail ' 75 South Frontage Road West Vail, Colorado 81657 RE: WEST VAIL CONTRACTS Dear Mr. Phillips: Eagle County for years entered into contracts with Vail to provide certain services. for an area known as West Vail. The services provided included animal control, police services, and snow and ice removal. The town of Vail performed these services in a professional and timely manner. The quality of the service has been first class. It is the Board's decision not to renew those contracts as their term expires. The service provided is more of a municipal level creating a situation unfair to the rest of the county. As stated before, the quality and delivery of the service did not affect this decision. We look forward to working with the town in the future on mutually beneficial projects.
