ordinance. Staff anticipates bringing this to Council next month.
Backaround Rationale: Staff has been working on a revised
View Corridor Ordinance which will (a) add a new view corridor
(No. 4), (b) revise the language used to regulate ail of the view
corridors, and (c) create a new chapter in the zoning code
specifically for view corridors. In addition to these changes, the
staff has also tried to improve the physical monumentation of all
the view corridors. When staff was working on the view corridor
from the Transportation staircase, we found that the original
boundary was not easily identified. Staff believes that the
boundary needs to be restudied and amended to address the
2
a
changing circumstances in the Village. The information in the

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

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

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.

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.

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

To Vail Town Council:
I am submitting my name to serve on the Art
in Public. Places Board. As a full time resident
of the Town of Vail, I have great interest in the
future developement and changes in our town.
It is said that Vail needs to find a "self image";
art in our public areas can help create the basis
of how we and others view our area.
A few of us are artists, but all of us are consumers
of art. Our public displays create a great opportunity
to guide and influence the tastes and enjoyment o.f
Vail by visitors and residents alike.
I believe I have the interest, talent, and. time to
contribute in a positive way toward the future of
Vail and the arts!
Sincerely,

they have approved of everything else.
I would appreciate it if you would get this final Agreement
before the Council as soon as possible since there are some expectan-
cies on payments in the near future by the parties in view of the
global settlement.
Thanks for your continued assistance in this matter. I hope
you are feeling better.
Sincerely yours,

SUBJECT: Analysis of Boundary for View Corridor #1
Changes to the boundary for View Corridor #1 are needed because of alterations made to
buildings in the Village over the past several years. As seen in the table below, Points 62
and 63 are related to the expansion to the Red Lion. When the project was approved, this _
view corridor boundary was amended to allow the expansion. Points C and D need to be re-
set due to the Gallery Building redevelopment. Staff recommends that the points be re-
established at the lowest visible points shown on the photographs on either side of the clock
tower. In the proposed ordinance, Points A, E, F and :G will be defined more specifically, but
will not change from the previous boundary.

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.

Re: State Transportation Special District Legislation
Dear Bill:
The Roaring Fork Valley has been warking for some time toward integrated public
transportation. 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:

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.

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. Please give
me a call if you have more questions about the Planning and Environmental Commission.
Once again, thank you for your letter.
Sincerely,

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."

Honorable Mayor Peggy Osterfoss
Town of Vail Council Members
Mr. Ron Phillips
Subject: Vail Transportation Master Plan - January, 1992
I want to applaud the Town of Vail for addressing such a vital
issue as Transportation. 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,
<<~`

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. If you should have any questions regarding the above, please do not hesitate
to contact meat 479-2106.

COUNCIL - MANAGER TEAM-BUILDING 6dORKSHOP
I. 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.

- 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.
