'2725 bald Mountain Road Vail, CO 81657 January 27, 1992 The Vail Town Council Vail, CO 81657 Dear Council Members: The purpose of this letter is to apply for another term as a member of the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission. I have greatly enjoyed this community involvement and hope that my contribution has been viewed positively. Please give my. application your consideration. Sincerely yours, Ludwig Kurz LK/ Connie Knight Professional Writer 385 Gore Creek Drive Suite 201 Vail, Colorado 81657 303/476-3615 January 20, 1992 The Honorable ~~1argaret Osterfoss Town Councilmen The Town of Vail 75 S Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Peggy, Tom, Rterv, Jim, Rob, Jim and Bob: The opportunity to serve on the Planning & Environ- mental Commission has been both a frustrating, yet re- warding experience for me. Over the past two years, I believe I have gained a great deal of knowledge, primarily that decisions cannot be made on emotions alone. It also takes many meetings and an enormous amount of reading before a comprehension is gained regarding zoning, SDOs, Hillside Residential., Ag Open Space, etc. Therefore, I would like your support in reappointing me to the PEC for another term so that the knowledge I have gained ,can be put to work. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely yours, 1~ 1 Connie Knight cc: Kristen Pritz Diana Donovan Member Society of Professional Journalists U.S. Ski Writers Association Dalton Williams 4021 Bighorn Road, 8H Post Office Box 1251 Vail, Colorado 81658 November 26, 1991 Ms Kristen Pritz, Director Community Development Department 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Planning and Environmental Commission Vacancy Dear Kristen, I wish to apply to fill the unexpired Planning and Environmental Commission term of Commissioner Jim Shearer and subsequently to apply for a full two-year term to the Planning and Environmental Commission. As you know, I previously served an unexpired term on the Planning and Environmental Commission from January 1989 through January 1990. During this term I made special effort to prepare for and attended each meeting. As a new member on the P.E.C., I took my responsibility seriously, spending many hours on my own to learn my responsibilities and Vail's Zoning Code. To aid in my learning process, I volunteered and served on the Zoning Code Task Force and the Affordable Housing Task Force. I know first hand the time it takes to learn the code and serve as a P.E.C. Member. I know, and have demonstrated, the commitment it takes to properly prepare for and attend each meeting. My personal integrity, previous experience, continuing desire to learn, and genuine interest in serving our community as a fair and impartial commissioner, qualifies me to serve. Please accept this application to the Vail's Planning and Environmental Commission for both the unexpired term of Commissioner Shearer and for a full two-year term on the Planning and Environmental Commission beginning February, 1992. Sincerely, Dalton W. Williams - January 28, 1992 Vail Town Council c/o Town of Vail Community Development Dept. 75 South Frontage Road Vail,, Colorado 81657 RE: Application for Vail Planning and Environmental Commission Dear Council Members: I am writing to apply for and request appointment to the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission. Attached is a resume for your review. My involvement in the Vail real estate market in both property management and sales over the past twelve years has given me a keen sense to the time and effort required in reviewing, modifying, and approving future developments within this community. In recent years, my work included residential development in the Glen Lyon subdivision and participation in the task force responsible for establishing new zoning codes with respect to GRFA and site coverage factors in residential and multi-family land uses. The ability to look at both sides of an issue before making a decision is a strong asset of mine. In watching Vail's growth over the past decade, supply and demand has created a limited inventory of available sites in which to consider development, or in many cases, redevelopment. Establishing a "proper balance" between short-term needs (ie: the developer's intentions) and long-term goals (ie: benefit and welfare of the community) shall be a major priority in my involvement on this Commission. A cooperative and positive atmoshphere amongst the planning staff, Design. and Review Board, and the PEC is a necessity in accomplishing this proper balance. I believe recent changes in the GRFA regulations .have simplified the planning process without sacrificing any land use restrictions currently in place. In my eyes, these changes were very positive. I wish to utilize my energies and efforts on the PEC to continue improving our system. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at 476- 7990 or evenings at 476-2695. I look forward to meeting with you in ~~the n~r future. rte'- / Since elp, G g Amsden GA/meb RESUME January 28, 1992 Gregory Michael Amsden 288 Bridge Street Vail, Colorado 81657 (303) 476-2695 (H) (303) 47b-7990 (O) EDUCATION: University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado Graduated: Spring 1978 B.S. in Business Administration Double Major: Finance, Real Estate GPA: 3.0 Jones Real Estate College Denver, Colorado Spring 1978 Current licensed Real Estate Broker Real Estate Finance Real Estate Appraisals Real Estate Closings Jones Real Estate College Denver, Colorado Spring 1977 Current licensed Real Estate Salesman Real Estate Law Real Estate Practice WORK EXPERIENCE: Christopher Denton Real Estate, Inc.

Vail, Colorado 10/15/79 - 6/1/83 Property Manager/Managing Broker Managed all aspects of over 100 individually owned resort condominiums and homes. Greg Amsden - Resume Page 2. . COMMENTS: My association with Christopher Denton Real Estate (3 years) includes experience in developing residential homes in the Glen Lyon subdivision, changing subdivision covenants in the same subdivision, and participating on the task force for the most recent changes affecting GRFA in residential and multi-family zoning codes. My employment and association with Brandess-Cadmus Real Estate (9 years) included a 3~ year position in their property management division. I was responsible for overseeing all aspects of the operation, including "hands on" experience with each department. Office staff was comprised of a secretary, bookkeeper, reservationist, and a housekeeping staff of 25+. Our property inventory of over 100 individually owned units ranged in size from studio apartments to 5 bedroom homes. In addition, we also were responsible for 3 condominium associations in Vail Village. My management position with Brandess-Cadmus began in Fall, 1979, with approximately 30 units and grew to over 100 units in just 3%z years. My early years with the firm entailed coordinating actual rentals, housekeeping and maintenance details of each property. As the operation grew, the scope of my responsibilities centered on public relations, owner correspondence and overseeing each of the department heads. My strongest asset is the ability to deal with all personnel types and backgrounds, whether it be a housekeeper or the owner of a multi-million dollar property. I enjoy the challenge and variety of my work.

A-18 Vail, CO 81658 1-31-92 Re: Reappointment to the Art in Public Places Committee Dear Town Council Persons,. My name is Laura Nash. I have lived in Vail for 4 years and work as an intern architect currently with Fritzlen, Pierce, Briner Architects. Two years ago I was very excited to be interviewed and appointed to the Art in Public Places Committee. It is with the same en- thusiasm that I ask you now to renew my appointment to that committee . Since our formation, we, the Art in Public Places Com-~ mittee have accomplished several noteworthy projects. The most high profile of .these projects being the one we are currently engaged in: the glass block mural for the Vail Transportation Center designed and constructed by Dan Daily. The work put into creating the competition, and resulting commission for this project has been very rewarding. As a contributor to that process, I want to see the project through to its completion. I feel now as I felt when I originally applied for the seat on the Art in Public Places C~j~u«ittee: I have alot to contribute to this committee because of my strong background in visual arts and architecture. I worked my way through architecture school designing and building stained glass windows. I have also acted as an artist representative for other glass artists who have their work for sale in the My Jeweler galleries in Vail and Beaver Creek. My Bachelor of Architecture degree en- hances my knowledge of large scale art projects. It has given me a thorough understanding of the complexities of design and construction as well as the importance of siting. I have enjoyed my two years on the Art in Public Places Committee and look forward to continuing this. endeavor. ~ . Sincerely, Laura Nash Page 1 LAURA .

Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Friends: Thank you once again for the ~~~rtunity of,assisting you with the designing and selection of your sound system. We design our systems based on ~~<<rater analyzation. The c~<<~ater er~bles us to e.Yamine many different speakers in many different configurations. The two main concerns with any sound system are the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) and the AL (Articulation Loss). SPL or sound pressure level is the volume or lcudness that a speaker system produces. It is very important to make sure that the level is consistent throughout the entire listening area. The wrong speakers placed at the wrong locations will create hot and cold spots. AL or articulation loss is the inability to decipher or understand speech from a sound system. This is the problem in many large auditoriums. There is sufficient volume, but the sound is unintelligible. The art- iculation loss should not exceed 200. Working with this criteria, we then place the variables of your building into our ~~,<<rater and run the program using different speakers in different locations. When we are through, we know what the SPL and AL calculate for the entire room with given speakers in given locations. After carefully studying the print-out of your room, it is our opinion that the proposed loudspeaker system will adequately provide intelligible sound throughout your entire room without the need for expensive acoustical wall treatments. Taking this into account, we would like to recommend the following equipment to you for your consideration.

MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Couricil and Planning and Environmental Commission FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 31, 1992 SUBJECT: Air Quality Public Education Program I. Backaround On August 6, 1991 the Council passed Ordinance 21, Series of 1991 relating to air pollution control measures within the Town of Vail. The Council's position in passing the ordinance was to prevent the current picture from worsening and then to take steps to address the existing units. Council directed the staff to (1) conduct an inventory to get an accurate count of existing fireplaces, (2) document voluntary conversions of fireplaces and older woodstoves to newer, cleaner technologies, and (3) produce a public education program to inform residents and guests of our efforts and provide them with the information necessary to make informed choices for conversion. The Council also established a three year time line for the voluntary conversion of 50% of existing fireplaces. At the end of the three year period a determination will be made regarding the need for further action. II. Present The staff is currently working on the inventory of existing fireplaces and anticipates the completion of the effort during the summer of 1992. An accurate accounting of the voluntary conversions continues as building permits are pulled for the work. To date, there have been almost 200 conversions, if the conversions at The Wren which took place prior to Ordinance 21 are included. The conversions have occurred in numerous dwelling units, but large numbers of units have been converted in higher density properties in town. Conversion has been completed at The Wren (64), and the Antlers (68), and a permit for 38 conversions at Montaneros has been pulled. Staff is currently working on a public education program to address the issues and options available to interested parties. Since air quality concerns have been expressed throughout the County, staff believes that the public would best be served by developing acounty-wide education effort. At this time an initial meeting has been held with Vail, Minturn and Eagle County participating and with the Town of Avon expressing interest in further meetings to develop a public education strategy. 1 The first meeting identified two major target groups; (1) residents and (2) guests/lodging groups. Staff believes the approach to the respective groups and the information disseminated to each would need to be different. The group felt that information directed toward the resident population should include conversion (technology) options and associated costs, how to burn properly, health effects of woodsmoke -indoor and outdoor, air shed impacts and related issues. The discussion regarding how to address the guests was less decisive. It was decided to approach local lodging managers to discuss their woodburning practices and solicit their input as to how to best address the issue with their guests. The group will be meeting again next month to evaluate the progress of initial task assignments. In addition, the town staff has determined that it will also be helpful to create a single information handout to explain our existing fireplace ordinance. The development of this handout will make the ordinance easier to understand. An added benefit of the pamphlet, would be to answer questions of contractors, architects, owners and designers for the upcoming building season. The staff is currently working on this effort and has a deadline for completion by the end of February. III. Future Staff will keep Council and PEC apprised of the progress made on the education effort. At the next county-wide meeting a schedule for overall public education will be completed. Any suggestions Council or PEC would like to make concerning this effort are welcome.. Please address any comments to Susan Scanlan at 479-2138. c:lsusanUne mos~airqual.131 2 0 t'vv-~/-' ; losses range from VCfV llttlC CO OI1C .~,,'~4 rc~m;h„ j1; -@F~t, ~ ; professional short-seller who lost 559 - ~~~y~~ ' ` '•.--~,~'~~.~i.. ~ _ ~ " ' on the year.

Presently we have excellent bus service, but only Pitkin County and Aspen pay toward it. Our cammittee has drafted legislation to permit the valley to forma "Rural Regional Transportation Authority," that can derive income from ad valorem taxes and the same lit of 1% abave the state 7% limitation authorized by the county transportation district legislation approved a couple of years ago. It can apply its income to public transportation or trails. We have submitted it to several state legislators, and with any luck at all it should be in committee on this year's agenda. Enclosed is a copy of the draft legislation. I am sure that once you've read it you'll agree with me that it will be very valuable and useful to you in the TJpper Eagle Valley, because it allows financing your regional transportation district without requiring the county's endarsement, or a county-wide vote. We estimate that a one mill ad valorem levy will be sufficient for our property purchase and trail expansions, and that installing the 1/2% sales tax valley-wide will finance an increased,-possibly doubled, bus system that~will be needed when Highway 82 four-laving is begun. One of the requirements set forth by Scott McInnis for passage of this legislation is that all jurisdictions involved approve the application far the special district. An ex- Eagle County commissioner who lives in Basalt has been circulating a protest against it, mainly because he is against special districts in general, and doesn't realize that this one is different. [It is responsible to the various jurisdictions in the area; its membership will be elected and/or appainted officials from the jurisdictions, and the jurisdictions will have veto power over them. He has influenced Bud Gates and the board against the legislation; our committee would be very grateful if you and/or your Town Board would speak for it. It is an ideal solution to transportation problems in the Roaring Fork Valley[three counties and five towns] and also in your area of half a county and up to five towns. Any proposed caunty transportation bill can fail when half the people aren't interested in the cammute, but with an interested and affected electorate, you can get a regional transportation authority passed. Call me at 927-3540 for clarification, if needed. Time is "of the essence." as the attorneys say. Please send a letter of support ["such legislation would be useful to us" ] , if you can, as soon as you can, to: The Roaring Fork Forum Transportation Committee, C/o Reid Haughey, Pitkin County Administration, FA% 920-5198, or 530 East Main, Third Floor Aspen CO 81611 T nks, Linda o nso .

Culp c/o Gore Range Properties, Inc. ~ 511 Lionshead Mall Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Letter dated January 17, 1992 Dear Ginny: I enjoyed reading your letter and article concerning quality growth. One of the major issues that the Community Development Department grapples with is the question of how to insure "quality managed growth". I believe that a big challenge for our community and the Eagle Valley is to try to define quality growth or quality community and then actively pursue what it takes to achieve this quality. Our community has many planning documents which help the staff and board members make these sometimes difficult decisions. I know you attended one of the Eagle Valley Community Forum meetings about a month ago • in Avon. We are hosting Fireside Forums throughout the Eagle Valley on the evening of March 19th. The purpose of the Fireside Forums will be to provide an opportunity for citizens to discuss in an informal atmosphere valley-wide community issues. It is hoped that the issues can be prioritized and suggested solutions identified. After the forums, the intent is to form task forces to work towards implementation of solutions for the high priority issues. I hope you will be able to participate in this event as it is directly related to your concern for quality growth. In addition, four positions are currently available on the Planning and Environmental Commission. The deadline for applications is January 31, 1992. The meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of every month. Normally, site visits begin around 11:30 a.m. , :MS. Ginny R. Culp s.: , . . January 30, 1992 ~ . Page 2 or noon and the actual public hearing may extend into the evening until 7:00 p.m. This board requires a great deal of dedication however I believe the work is very rewarding.

FOR MORE INFORMATION 1 A ~ 1 DEBORAH MILD 303-592-5510 COQ®J~1~L 1 ~ J o DENNI ~AN PATTER 5303-592-5510 N E W S FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OUTSTANDING 1991 TOURISM SUMMER FOR COLORADO January 6, 1992 -Colorado's tourism industry suspected it, and now the numbers confirm that the 1991 summer season was outstanding, one of the best in Colorado history. The summer tourism performance in Colorado is particularly gratifying in view of the national recession, .jitters over world politics, and downturns in tourism business which were noted in many other parts of the country. Statistical categories of visitation and revenues in Colorado each showed strong increases, including some in the double-digit range. With few exceptions businesses, attractions, and communities ~ surveyed were up. Tourism industry representatives pointed to an unusually- early start to the season (mid-May) and strong business well into October. There was also strong consensus that more Coloradans stayed in-state for vacations than before. For the period of June through August, following are summaries of the tourism indicators in Colorado: 0 2.5% increase at Colorado. National Parks, Monuments, and Recreation Areas 0 4.9% increase at Colorado Welcome Centers 0 5.4% increase in Colorado highway traffic counts 0 6.2% increase at Colorado State Parks & Recreation Areas 0 6.9% increase in statewide restaurant revenues 0 10% increase in statewide accommodations revenues 0 12.6% increase in retail sales in tourism-dependent communities 0 13% increase at 13 selected Colorado attractions 0 13% increase in accommodations revenues in tourism-dependent communities 0 14.3% increase at Colorado Historical Society museums and sites Results- in some individual communities were eye-opening. Accommodations revenue increases in 16 surveyed Colorado communities ranged from 4.3% at Grand Junction to 37.6% in Telluride. Increases were smaller in traditional summer mountain communities, where the summer period has normally meant "no vacancy" signs. Increases at mountain resorts, where there is more available lodging capacity, were larger. Retail sales showed a similar pattern. In 11 tourism-dependent communities which were surveyed, retail sales growth ranged from 8.8% across Summit County to 22.6% at Gunnison. . Double-digit increases were common. - More - State Senator Tilman Bishop of Grand Junction, chairman of the Colorado Tourism Board, credited partnerships among the tourism industry for leading the way. "By working closely together at the state, regional, and local levels, the result was an exceptional summer season;' he said. "It is very gratifying to have that type of summer in Colorado in view of the national economy and the experiences of other parts of the nation." Rich Meredith, executive director of the Colorado Tourism Board, called the results "outstanding and gratifying. We are very pleased that the tourism industry had such a strong summer. Better market information, targeting of programs, and statewide coordination and cooperation in tourism promotion, when combined with our exceptional tourism product in Colorado, led to the type of results we had this year. Meredith said the Colorado Tourism Board "couldn't be more pleased for our tourism industry. They have worked hard to promote themselves and to join together for more effective programs. They deserve this type of outstanding summer season." -30- ENCLOSURES: Summer Activity Barometer 1991 summer graph Colorado Retail Sales Revenue 1991 summer graph Colorado Accommodations Revenue 1991 summer graph 1991 Colorado Tourism Summer Activity Report available upon request r RECD JAN 1 3 199?

This is definitely a step in the right direction and a very critical subject for the future viability of the Town of Vail and the nearby regions. I do not know what the original assignment was as it was contracted with the Consultant. Therefore, it is difficult to determine if the subject Plan achieves the stated goals of the engagement. However, I would like to comment on the Plan as presented in the January, 1992 Draft copy. 1 - Overall, the Report does not express a vision and mode of implementation for a long-range Plan. Generally, it is merely an extrapolation of the transportation methods that are now" being utilized with minimal. direction to the 'real needs of the future'. 2 - The section addressing 'Vail Village Deliveries' illustrates that all of the proposed - including the recommended - methods are D. 0. A. (Dead On Arrival). When a recommendation is made by someone - or group - the project should be 'doable'. None of these are feasible or doable to contribute to the long-range desires. 3 - Parking - This portion directs the reader to only the current parking areas and how they can be operated more efficiently. This is helpful for the short-teem (1-3 years) but the Report is silent on the very critical issue of parking (where and how) for the long-term. 't l ~ page 2 ~ '4- i ~ 4 - Town Bus System - Currently, the Town of Vail operates an excellent bus system considering the size of the town, terrain, budget and overall seasonal needs. It has served the area formidably and this system can continue - with slight improvements/fine tuning - for the near term (1-3 years). However, for the long-term (which is where the Plan was supposed to give guidance) there is very little direction given to a transportation system that is needed - badly - for the future. Specifically, the In-Town shuttle recommendation is an example of 'just an extrapolation' by suggesting a 'band-aid' approach to what is being utilized now. 5 - I - 70 Access. Many of the suggestions and recommendations are viable. However, there is not much detail that outlines. how all of this is to be co-ordinated with the other portions of the Plan. Also, as we know, this is an area that will require prioritizing with the Colorado Department of Transportation. Next, as I dig through the Report, I have the feeling that this Document does not meet the needs of an Applicant to make a Proposal to the Town of Vail. There is going to be a need to prepare an additional~Document or definitive Request For Proposal prior to any meaningful implementation program. Lastly, and possibly most important - it is significant to ask: 1 - Why is the Report and its recommendations so controversial? and 2 - Why was there practically no consensus as illustrated in the meeting at the Lodge of Vail on January 15, 1992? The answer is quite simple - . For the Town of Vail to have a comprehensive Plan, it is imperative that a stated goal be put forth by the Leaders of the Town. As Stephen R. Covey describes in THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, . Habit ~f2 points out the necessity to "Begin with the end in mind". I don't see that this has been done by the Leadership of the Town of Vail. For example, the stated goal could be: 'By the end of year 2000, there will be no motorized vehicles (with possible exception of electic power) in that portion of the Towm of Vail described as to . Then, by year 2005, this will be expanded to an area between and and Then, by 2010, this will be extended to and ' f - t;'.. i'r - If a statement - Goal - of this type, or whatever is defined, was put forth, then everyone could 'get on the same page' and move forward. All of the management team of the town as well as the citizens, businesses and suppliers would understand the objective and work toward the stated goal. Unless this is done, we will continue to have misunderstanding, chaos and the current inequities and confusion - without direction. Why is this so important? As I reflect back on my many years of business experience with projects on transportation, distributing and conveying packages, collecting and transporting municipal/ commercial waste/trash and baggage handling systems where there are very successful systems in place, I come to this conclusion: 'For the continued economic viability of the Town of Vail, it is critical that a well conceived Plan be completed and implemented NOW. If not, in 3-7 years, the Town could be in a 'self-destruct' mode:' Sincerely, <<~` Richard B. Neal /r - a s1 TOWN OF VAIL ~ 75 South Frontage Road O,f~j`ice of the Town Manager Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2105 /FAX 303-479-2157 January 31, 1992 Mr. William A. Wood District Ranger U.S. Forest Service Holy Cross Ranger District P.O. Box 190 Minturn, CO 81645 Re: Wearyman Timber Sale Dear Bill: Thank you for allowing the Town of Vail the opportunity to comment on the proposed timber sale area in the Wearyman drainage. We understand the Holy Cross Ranger District is preparing a position statement prior to the complete environmental analysis and final design for the timber sale area. As indicated to you in previous letters from the Town of Vail regarding timber sale issues, the Town's overall concerns are centered on the issues of visual impacts and aesthetics. Historically, in the Vail area, the Forest Service has authorized timber sales which included clear cutting. The Town is very concerned with the impacts that large, clear-cut areas have upon the visitors to the Vail Valley area. If the Forest Service is anticipating permitting a clear-cut timber sale for the Wearyman sale area, the Town of Vail has serious concerns. We recognize that the Resolution Creek Road and the Wearyman Creek Road are both heavily used by winter and summer recreationists. Four-wheel drive enthusiasts, motorcyclists, ATVs, mountain bikers, cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and hikers all heavily utilize this area. The Town of Vail would recommend that only selective cutting be allowed in the Wearyman' timber sale area. If, however, the Forest Service does approve aclear-cut designation for this timber sale area, the Town suggests that a buffer zone; of adequate width, be provided around the area. This buffer zone should consist of a substantial stand of trees and should be of a width so that recreationists.utilizing the roads and trails in the area do not perceive the clear-cut. Mr. William A. Wood January 31, 1992 Page 2 The Town of Vail strongly urges the Forest Service to take any and all necessary steps to ensure that timber sales are completed in the most aesthetically pleasing manner possible. Again, recognizing that our natural resources are the underlying determinant of our local economy, the Town requests that the Forest Service be very sensitive to the needs of our tourist industry. Thank you again for allowing the Town the opportunity to comment on the Wearyman timber sale proposal.

INTRODUCTION On January 28, 1992, the Town Council and Manager participated in a team-building workshop as a prelude to a goal-setting workshop scheduled for February 18. The purpose of this team- building workshop was to explore: ® The critical issues affecting leadership performance within a community. m To conduct an assessment of how the Town Councilmembers and Manager see the quality of leadership existing within the group as it makes decisions and carries out its responsibilities, • To assess the individual conflict-handling approaches of each of the Town Councilmembers and Manager. ® To clarify roles and working relationships that the participants want to see exist among the Mayor, Council- members, and Town Manager/staff. II. KEY OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS A. Review of Council Performance 1. Scalar rating of Council performance over the last two-year period. Each Councilmember and the Manager were asked to rate on a scale of 5 (excellent) to 1 (poor) their respective assessment of Council's overall perfor- mance as a decision-making and leadership team, Listed in Appendix A are the ratings given by each Councilmember and the Manager. 2, Performance Force Field. .The participants were then asked to identify those factors or forces they thought were working for or enhancing the quality of Council performance and those factors they thought were working against or inhibiting Council leadership performance. Listed in Appendix B is a summary of the observations by the participants. - 3, Discussion of various items identified on the Council Performance Force Field shown in Appendix B: a, Council-Manager "gray areas" A number of issues were discussed among the participants under this category including: ~ Allocation of resources and devising a goal-setting and priority-establishing process that would allow for the system- atic allocation of resources during bud- get preparation. * Developing appropriate Council relation- ships with staff so that the integrity of the Council-Manager form of government is maintained while Councilmembers and staff members can come to know and appreciate each other as individuals. * How to deal with feedback and observa- tions from the public pertaining to City government and the particular performance of individuals and programs within the City, * At what level, if any, should policy makers get involved in the administration of programs? b, Understanding of the Council-Manager form of government A brief discussion occurred around the specif- ics of the Council-Manager form of government as contrasted to other options including the "Triangular" (strong mayor) and "Commission" forms , The effort here was to clari f y among the Councilmembers the specifics of the Coun- cil-Manager form of government and the impli- cations of these specifics in terms of the relationships that exist. between the council and the manager/staff, communications channels that need to exist between the two groups and , throughout the organization, and the division of respective responsibilities, c, Budgeting and resource-allocation processes 2 _ Several discussions emerged throughout the workshop and during the lunch break relative to the issue of budgeting and resource alloca- tion. The following points, which may be the subjects for future discussions, seem to emerge: * Is the current budget system designed to allow for the management of specific programs and projects on an outcome ba- sis? * Does the City have an appropriate goal- and priority-setting process that pro- vides appropriate information to the Manager and staff as a framework for preparing recommended City budgets? * Does the current budgeting system focus the Council's attention on one-year hori- zons only rather than developing long- term/strategic leadership perspectives, performance work plans for the City, and guidelines for allocating resources over a several-year horizon? This information and guidance then can be used to frame specific annual budgets as an increment of_the long-term thinking and leadership processes exercised by the City, Manager, and staff. * Are there adequate guidelines that would permit the Council to make necessary trade-offs that might have to occur in preparation of budgets? d. Use of Council time Another area of considerable discussion was the use of Council time and whether Council had organized itself and its priorities in such a way to make the best use of available time in carrying out its myriad of responsi- bilities. It was concluded that Council may wish, at a subsequent work session, to look at the fol- lowing issues relative to its use of time: * Establishing appropriate rules and proce- dunes for the conduct of meetings to 3 ensure that business is conducted in an efficient and productive manner, * Establishing appropriate rules and guide- lines for conducting hearings on zoning cases to ensure the best use of time in hearing and deciding these cases. * Reviewing the processes for establishing Council agendas for regularly scheduled public hearings and work sessions. ~ Reviewing the format and scheduling of work sessions to ensure their productivi- ty and usefulness to Council, ~ Reviewing/establishing a "pending items" list which would serve as a master docket of all issues and matters before Council and staff so that they could be managed . from a comprehensive perspective in terms . of the use of Council and staff time. * One Councilmember suggested that work sessions might be moved to the evening so as not to place an undue burden on those Councilmembers who have to take away from work to attend Tuesday afternoon work sessions, e, Review of the settings for work sessions A short discussion emerged around the differ- ences between regularly-scheduled public hearings and work sessions, The regularly-scheduled public hearings exist primarily for Council to hear and decide items brought before it on its agenda, The purpose of these meetings primarily .is to dispose of issues through voting on ordinances, resolu- tions, and motions, The primary .purpose of a work session is to establish an informal setting in which Coun- cilmembers and staff members can enter into a dialogue to expand understanding of issues and an expiration of options available to the Council for resolving issues, While these meetings are open to the public, except in those cases where executive sessions are appropriate, the public generally does not 4 enter into the dialogue that occurs between Council and. staff. The room setting for an effective work session tends to be more that of a conference meeting in which all involved parties communicate with each other around a conference table. It is recommended strongly that work sessions not be conducted at the formal council table and arrangement used during regularly-scheduled public hearings. f. Communications policy Considerable discussion was given to the _ nature and means of communication that exists within the Council-Manager form of government.. Two types of communications usually exist within this relationship: * Communications which exist primarily for the giving of direction through policy statements or management actions on the part of the Town Manager. In this par- ticular area, the Town Charter speaks very clearly to the nature and means of communication that exist between Council and the Manager and the Manager and ad- ministrative staff./employees. * Informal communications requesting infor- mation or carried out in the context of social interaction. Within the Council- Manager form of government, the informal communications issue usually becomes one, of concern because of the possibility that informal communications can be mis- construed by staff and employees as being directive in nature. Also, informal communications channels carry the risk of becoming "back channels" for communica- tions designed to circumvent the formal or structured process defined in the charter. It is recommended that the best way to handle this type of situation is to always be con- scious of communicating in such a manner as to preserve the integrity of the Council-Manager form of government and the respective authori- ty of the Council and the Manager in carrying out their prescribed responsibilities, .Infor- mal communications are appropriate at various times but always should be conducted with an 5 ti appreciation of the fact that they can, on occasion, be misconstrued creating confusion and concerns about the effect they can have on the formal relationships that need to exist within the Town's form of government. B. Conflict Handling Styles Conflict and differences of opinion are a natural part of the deliberative process that exist within a town council and in the relationships that will exist between the council and the administrative staff of the city. The participants, after reading an essay on the basic elements of conflict, were asked to complete the Thomas- Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument. The purpose of this instrument is to help each individual determine his/her natural behavioral tendencies in a conflict situation. Listed in Appendix C are the individual scores of the participants. C. Roles and Relationships " 1. Elements of role There are four elements to role: a. FUNCTION Function pertains to the duties or responsi- bilities associated with the role irrespective of incumbency. Function frequently is re- ferred to as the WHAT'S of the role. The major definition of functional items usually is found in documents such as the charter, state statutes, and management ordinances, all of which define specific duties and responsi- bilities associated with the position. These duties and responsibilities remain constant irrespective of who occupies that position, b. PERFORMANCE Performance has to do with the manner in which an incumbent carries out his/her functional duties and responsibilities. Performance reflects talent, style, mannerisms, values,. and behaviors. These are highly specific to each individual and vary dramatically with incumbency in any given position. It is the performance element of role that most people evaluate in terms of whether or not a person 6 carries out his/her functional responsibili- ties well. c. EXPECTATIONS All individuals have expectations about how they and others should establish their priori- ties relative to their functional responsibil- ities and how these functional responsibili- ties should be carried out. The difficulty with the expectations element is that there is infrequent exchange of information about what .individuals expect from each other in and during their working relationships. As a result, individuals frequently have to "shoot in the dark" relative to what it is that others expect of them, or they have to try to "read the signals" as to what others' expecta- tions are. d. SATISFACTION The element of satisfaction is the consequence of whether or not one's expectations are met relative to his/her performance and that of others. If their performance expectations are met, the result is satisfaction. If the performance expectations are not met, the result is dissatisfaction and frustration with the performance of others or themselves. The important issue is that members of council and the management team take time to share with each other their relative performance expectations of themselves and others in terms of what do they see to be the high-priority functions to be emphasized and how do they want these functions carried out through the behavior of incumbents in various positions. Team performance depends more on the quality _ of the interactions that exist among the members than it does the specific brilliance or talents of any given team member, Rela- tionship among the roles is a process of continuous dialogue and negotiation toward expanding the quality of the interaction. 2. Definition of roles and relationships Listed in Appendix D are observations made by various participants pertaining to the roles of Mayor, Council, and Town Manager. 7 - III. CONSULTANT OBSERVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Consultant Observations It appears that the Town Council wants an effective policy-making and leadership body. All of the members demonstrate a genuine interest in improving the nature of the working relationships among the members and in establishing long-term goals for the benefit of the entire community. Also, the Council demonstrates high respect for the Town Manager which is reciprocated by the Manager for the Cauncil. Members of the Council and the Manager demonstrate high intellect and strong, but pleasing, personalities. This combination can be the basis for highly effective leadership and can lead to conflict and confrontation which need to be managed toward constructive outcomes. Given a sound set of long-term goals for the Town, the Council and Manager have all of the characteristics necessary for bringing strong and highly effective leadership to the community. B. Specific Recommendations 1. The Council should review the information in this report and select those items on which it would • like to concentrate further attention at a subse- quent work session. Suggestions include: * A process for establishing agendas * Review of rules and procedures for the conduct of public hearings and work sessions * Review of the arrangements for conducting work sessions to permit enhanced- communications among Council and between Council and staff * Review of budgeting and resource allocation processes to identify refinements that may need to be made for the benef i t of Counci 1 and the staf f 2. Council and the Manager should on a regular basis (probably quarterly) take time out to evaluate Council performance and Council-Manager teamwork. 3. Council should review how it tends to use its time in various forums and establish the group's priori- ties pertaining to the use of time and establish methods that would achieve more effective use of 8 that time through delegation, more clearly defined work schedules, better rules and procedures for conducting of meetings, etc, 4. Although not discussed above, Council may want to look at the whole issue of boards and commissions and how they can be used most effectively in en- hancing Council's leadership role as the governing body''for the Town. 9 Appendix A Scalar Ratinq of Council Performance 5 4 3 2 1 (Excellent) (Poor) Tom 3 Jim G. 3 Peggy 3+ Merv 3+ Rob 4- Bob 5 Jim S.
