The Honorable Mayor
Margaret A. Osterfoss
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Mayor:
The following steps are recommended for the Town of Vail to
implement the findings of the Vail Valley Cultural Arts and
Conference Center steering committee.
First and foremost, in order to proceed with this project in
a serious manner, the Town of Vail needs to reach and publicly
communicate a commitment to the timely implementation of the
project.
This commitment should be conditioned upon the successful
creation and examination of detail planning items as follows:
a) Detail programming and utilization projections
b) Capital and Operating financial plan
c) Overall facility management plan
d) Time schedule plan
The conditional commitment by the Town to proceed with this project
as the "sponsoring entity" should include a commitment to the
following:
a) Sponsoring volunteer efforts to create a)-d)
above
b) Providing initial staff and funding to create
a)-d) above
c) Becoming involved to the degree necessary in
the ultimate public finding for the project
d) Obtaining a stated amount of private capital
contributions to facilitate the arts portion
of the project
e) ~ Immediately funding a second stage of more
detail architectural planning to use as the
basis of cost projections

a
~Rode7 C. Cultural Arts/Conference Facility
This facility would meet many of the cultural arts needs in the Vail
Yaliey. The building would contain a 1200 seat theatre with 150 seats on the
main floor and 450 seats in a balcony. The theatre would have a fly house with
a full rigging system, a lighting system, a full audio system, and a sprung
wooden floor suitable for dance. ~
In addition to the theatre, it would have an art gallery, retail space, .and
a restaurant for lunch and theatre suppers.
This facility would also eontain a conference center. The highlight of
this would be a ballroom of 23,000 square feet which could seat 2;500 in theatre
style seats or 1,200 for a banquet. In addition, there would be eight conference
rooms, A kitchen capable of preparing food for all areas of the facility would
also be included. This building would total 111,509 square feet and is detailed
in Table 19.
A building of this type would serve the needs of local arts groups,
professional promoters and provide conference/meeting space to enhance the
economy of the Valley.
$ravo! Colorado would likely move some of their popular chamber events from
the chapels to this facility. 7h is represents 8 of the total events that might
use the small theatre. With an adequate facility, Bravo! would be likely to
schedule a winter concert series. We have estimated that the theatre would be
used 12 times for that purpose.
Friends of the Dance would likely move their events to this facility. We
- estimate that they would use this theatre 20 days per year with seven rehearsal
days. Vail Community Theatre would also use this facility for twenty use days.

Town of Vail Housing Authority
Box 236
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Jen,
On behalf of the Archdiocese of Denver, we want to thank you for
the opportunity to meet with you, Mayor Peggy Osterfoss, Manager
Ron Phillips, Jill Kammerer and the other officials of the town of
Vail and the Vail Housing Authority on March 6th.
We believe there is an excellent opportunity for the Archdiocese to
work in partnership with the Town and the Vail Housing Authority to
respond to the serious need for long-term quality employee housing
in the town of Vail. As we explained at our meeting, the mission
of the Archdiocese in the mountain resorts is to respond to the
employee housing needs through our own programs, in cooperation
with others or by assisting others. Our specific goals are to:
* Offer quality housing, which is an asset to the
neighborhood and the community, consistent with the other
housing which has been built by the Archdiocesan Housing
Committee .
* Target families and single parent family households who
are permanent residents and provide quality rental
employee housing at the lowest possible cost.
* Develop up to 50 to 60 units in a complex which includes
on-site management and social counseling.
* Maintain good long-term community relations with the
neighborhood and with the total community.
* Provide this housing on a non-profit, equal opportunity
basis open to all qualified residents.
* Make a long-term (20 to 40 year) commitment, maintaining
the housing for this great need.
AI~CHDIOC~.S~~~T I-I~LTSIN~COMMITTEE, II~TC.
200 Josephine
Denver, Colorado 80206 (303) 388-441 1
i
The Archdiocesan Housing Committee has accumulated considerable
expertise by developing and managing over 800 residential units
over the past 25 years and we bring considerable pragmatic
knowledge to our mission. Through this experience we believe that
we have significant skills in planning, construction, leasing and
management to ensure long term quality and viability. In evidence,
a few photos of our Denver developments are enclosed as is our
Mission Statement and Goals.
As we explained, our first employee housing development on the
Western Slope is the 55-unit Machebeuf Apartments in Glenwood
Springs, presently under construction and scheduled to open in
September 1992. We are enclosing information on that project to
give you an idea of the apartment layout, look and landscaping for
the development.
Following our discussion with you and the others, we visited the
lower Donovan property and feel it would be an excellent employee
housing site. We are eager to work with you to obtain the
necessary approvals and support to move forward at that location.
However, if that. site is not available, we would certainly be
interested in another appropriate property.
We welcome the opportunity to work with you, the Vail Housing
Authority and the Town of Vail to move forward with a successful
employee housing program. Our commitment is that every person has
a right to decent and affordable housing. Please let us know how
we can proceed with the next step.
Sincerely, .
Sister Mary Lucy Downey

TOWN OF SAIL EMPLOYEES H®USING SURVEY
SUMMARY OF RESPONSES
I. INTRODUCTION
The Town of Vail Community Development Department distributed a questionnaire to employees of the
Town of Vail and the Vail Recreation District during February (see Exhibit A). The purpose of the
survey was to determine the housing needs of these employees and, specifically, their interest in residing
in a potential housing development currently under consideration by the Vail Housing Authority which
would be located adjacent to the Public Works Department Administration Building.
The survey also provided the opportunity to collect information on the number of Vail employees who
were at one time working in mining, oil or gas industries. This information had been requested from
the Colorado Department of Local Affairs in conjunction with a $300,000 Energy Impact Assistance
grant awarded to Vail for an affordable housing project.
Of the 325 surveys distributed, responses were received from 161 individuals (49.5 percent). Of those
161 respondents, 20 work for the Vail Recreation District. Twenty-five (15.7 percent) of all responses
were from seasonal workers. The balance (84.3 percent) were from year-round employees.
Please note that all questions do not have a sample size of 161,~since only those employees who currently
rent were asked to respond to questions concerning their interest in rental units and their opinion about
rental rates.
II. EMPLOYEE PROFILE
Number of Jobs
Over 23 percent of the 161 survey respondents hold more than one job. Thirty persons hold two jobs,
seven hold three jobs and 1 has four jobs. The average number of jobs among employees who hold
multiple jobs is 2.24. .
Marital Status/Children
Slightly over 60 percent of the employees who responded are married. However, of all survey
participants, only 38 percent have children under 18 living at home. Of those with children at home,
22 employees have one child and 28 have two. A total of 10 employees out of the 161 respondents have
three or more children.

ranged from $380 to $7,330 per month. The table below lists the number of employees within selected
income ranges.

III. HOUSING PATTERNS
Housing Type -
Of particular interest was the information obtained about where employees currently reside. Even though
the town of Vail has a concentration of condominiums and other high density dwellings, many of the
town's employees reside in single family homes. The following table summarizes the type of dwelling
units in which employees currently live.
Tvne of Dwelling Percentage
Single family home 41.6%
Apartment ~ 16.8 %
Duplex 14.9%
Mobile Home 10.6%
Condominium 8.7 %
Townhouse 5.6%
Room in house 1.9%
RRC ASSOCIATES PAGE 2
TOWN OF VAIL EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESEARCH
Location
As might be expected from the above findings, the majority of those surveyed do not live in Vail. Over
75 percent of employees live out of town. The highest "down valley" concentration is in the Edwards
area. The following table summarizes where employees currently live.
Total Vail 25.4%
Edwards 17.7 % .
Minturn 15.2%
. Eagle-Vail 13.3
Eagle 7.6 %
Leadville 7.6 %
Avon 4.4
Other 8.9
The following table breaks down the areas of Vail where the 25.4% Vail residents currently live.
East Vail 10.8%
Booth Falls 1.3
Matterhorn 0.6%
Red Sandstone 1.3%
West Vail 8.9%
Intermountain 2.5%
Size of Household
Over 70 percent live in a two-adult household and approximately 18 percent live alone, for an average
of 1.97 adults per household.
Rent vs. Own
Most employees already own their homes. Over 57 percent own while roughly 39 percent rent. The
remainder live with their family or house sitlcaretake.
The following information was obtained from the b3 employees (39 percent of the survey
respondents) who currently rent.
Lease Terms
Of interest was the finding that one-third on the town's employees who rent do so on a month-to-month
basis. Approximately 60 percent have year-long lease terms.
Size of Rental Units
More than half rent two-bedroom units. Almost 24 percent rent one-bedroom units. Less than 20
percent rent units that have three or more bedrooms.
RRC ASSOCIATES PAGE 3
TOWN OF VAIL EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESEARCH
Rental Rates
On the average, employees pay $573 per month for their share of rent and utilities (excluding telephone).
Employees' share of monthly rents and utilities ranged from $200 to $1,900.
IV. PREFERENCES
Size of Unit
Survey participants were asked what size of dwelling unit they would prefer to live in given their needs
and budget. Approximately 48 percent indicated they preferred to rent a two bedroom unit. (It should
be noted that this percentage is consistent with existing housing patterns -roughly half currently rent
two-bedroom units.) Twenty-one percent prefer one-bedroom units while roughly 30 percent desire
three-bedroom units.
Location
Participants were asked to indicate their preferences for location of a Town-owned housing development
consisting oftwo-bedroom apartments. The table below summarizes their first, second and third choices.
Location 1st Choice 2nd Choice 3rd Choice
East Vail 27.7 % 8.1 % 11.1
West Vail 19.1 % 21.6 % 19.4
Red Sandstone 6.4% 24.3% 19.4%
Vail Village/Lionshead 17.0% 5.4 % 13.9
Down Valley 10.6% 2.7% 2.8%
Booth Falls area 8.5 % 16.2 % 13.9
Down Valley 10.6 % 2.7 % 2.8 %
The Val ley 8.5 % 8.1 % 8.3
. Intermountain 2.1 % 5.4% 8.3
As shown on the table, East Vail is the first choice for a location to live. Red Sandstone and West Vail
are also preferred locations.
A comparison of these results to the information on where employees currently reside suggests that while
employees generally live in the size unit that they prefer, they do not live in their preferential location.
The large majority would like .to live in in-town locations, but as mentioned previously, over 75 percent
currently reside out of town. It is interesting to note that employees seem to feel it is appropriate for
the Town to support housing projects in "down valley" communities.
Parking
. Of the 63 responses, 71.4 percent indicated they would need two parking spaces.
RRC ASSOCIATES PAGE 4
TOWN OF VA[L EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESEARCH
Lease Terns
Over two-thirds desire a 12-month lease. The desires of the remaining third are evenly split between
seasonal and month-to-month leases.
Size of Development
As could be expected, small housing developments are much preferred over larger ones. Roughly 78
percent would prefer to live in a development containing 10 units or less. Only 11 employees indicated
they would prefer a development with more than 25 units.
V. PUBLIC WORKS SITE UNITS
Sixty-four employees responded to the question asking if they would rent atwo-bedroom, Town-owned
unit at the public works site for $750 to $800 per month including utilities. Over 80 percent said "no".
Only 12 employees who currently rent would consider renting aTown-owned unit at the public works
site in this price range.
Of those who responded negatively, 36 percent indicated they had done so because they planned to
purchase housing when they moved again. Approximately 28 percent stated they were satisfied with
their current housing situation. The remaining 36 percent were not interested in a public works site unit
for various "other" reasons which they were asked to explain. The proposed rent rates were the most
often cited reason for not wanting to live in the units. The table below summarizes the 26 responses
received to the question on why they would not want to live in the described units.
Reason Number of Responses
Too expensive 16
Location 3
Proposed Size 3 .
Tie to Employer 2
Other 2
The questionnaire also requested participants to state why they would not consider renting any Town-
owned unit, regardless of location. Twenty-one responses were received. The responses to this question
varied ,from a concern about pets to the desire for privacy. Several expressed a concern about living
near fellow employees. The most often stated reason again involved the issue of price. Six participants
stated they felt the rent would be too expensive. At least ane felt the Town of Vail was trying to make
a profit from employee housing. A complete list of the responses is attached (Exhibit B).
Survey participants were also asked to indicate the maximum rent they would pay for various size
apartments at the public works site. (It was assumed that utilities were included.} The averages of the
responses obtained are as follows:
Studio $345
1 bedroom $430
2 bedrooms $600

TOWN OF VAIL EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESEARCH
VI. HOMEOWNERSHIP
All survey participants were asked to respond to two questions about the purchase of a townhome within
Vail priced in the $125,000 to $135,000 range. They were asked if they should be considered potential
buyers from a realistic standpoint. Varying the down payment amount and the monthly mortgage
payment appeared to have little, if any, impact on the responses. Almost 77 percent responded "no" to
a down payment of $25,000 to $27,000 (20 percent of the purchase price) with monthly payments of
between $840 and $910. Seventy-five percent still said "no" when the down payment amount was
reduced to $12,500 to $13,500 (10 percent of the purchase price) and the monthly payment was raised
to between $946 and $1,022.
Interest in purchasing the described townhomes appeared to be related to income levels. Higher-income
employees were more ]ikely to be interested in purchasing a townhome than those making below $35,000
per year. Interest was highest among the 18 employees in the $45,000 to $60,000 annual income range.
Almost 45 percent of the individuals in this income range responded positively to the question when the
down payment was reduced to the lower amount.
In total, 33 individuals responded "yes" to the higher down payment and lower monthly payment,
whereas 36 employees considered themselves to be candidates for the purchase of the townhome with
less down and more per month.
VII. CONCLUSION
It should be noted that the results of this survey da not fully reflect the needs of seasonal employees,
since only 25 of the 161 individuals wha responded work on a part-time or full-time seasonal basis.
Several findings are conclusive, however. To summarize:
o There is very little support for an employee rental housing project located adjacent to the
Public Works Site. Only 20 percent of those wha currently rent (12 employees) would
consider renting the described Town-owned unit. The two main factors contributing to
this lack of interest are:
1. Over 35 percent of the employees who currently rent want
to buy their own home when they make their next move.
The Town's employees are stable (over- 65 percent have
lived in the area more than five years) and would prefer
to own rather than rent their homes.
2. The proposed rents were perceived as being too high.
While the average rent paid per employee ($573 per
month) is less than the proposed rent fora 2-bedroom unit
if split among roommates, many respondents appeared to
favor rent levels they could afford alone.

TOWN OF VAIL EMPLOYEE HOUSING RESEARCH
• Interest appeared to be stronger for afor-sale project, especially among those employees
who made $35,000 per year or more.
• There is strong sentiment that any employee housing project be small; most preferred
developments with 10 units or less.

Please explain why you would not be interested in a 2-bedroom, Town-owned "Public Works Site "

Because of the high rent
Do not want to live in employer-owned housing

Employee Housing Survey 1992
Additional Comments
Don't like townhomes; for ($125-135,400) would buy single family down-valley
At my salary of $40,300 we were just barely able to qualify for $117,000 at 8'/z percent interest.
We have no other monthly installment debt and had to stretch the lenders' ratios somewhat.
Rent in Vail needs to join the rest of the real world
Would prefer smaller down & $1,500/mo. payment
Too high, can purchase 2 homes at that price in I.eadville
I would not consider (Town-owned housing) if it obligated me to one employer; if it was open, it
would be a definite option.
(Town-owned housing) would be too close to work; want to purchase; would probably be made
cheaply
(The Lease term) depends if you're a seasonal employee and if the town hires you for the next season
If the town would give me benefits (I would be a candidate at $840-$9'10/mo.), but being full-time
seasonal I pav my own pension
Could possibly handle the payment ($840-910), but the down payment is as stiff as buying from a
regular seller.. TOV should help subsidize, like Town of Avon affordable units; otherwise it's not
affordable employee housing.
I need more than one job if I could physically and mentally survive that. Housing costs are
ridiculous; it'd be nice to have some money for food and gas besides the rent and Holy Cross
Electric. I presently pay $870/mo. rent plus $125 far utilities without turning on the heat I need
to use kerosene heaters or could not afford heat plus rent, period. . I would prefer a location
wherever there is: 1) sun most of the day, 2) shopping, 3) a hot tub, 4) a river running by my
balcony, and 5) no more than 10 minutes' drive to work. In a small town like this, I would want
as much assurance of away-from-work privacy as possible. Further, I would rather not live in a
development with children. .

RF: streamwalk Associated with the International Bridge
Dear R.i ck
Thank you for your letter concerning the streamwalk and
International Bridge. I apologize fer the confusion that was'
created by the artis*_'s rendering of the International Bridge.
I would like to emphasize that the streamwalk is not part of the
In*ernational Bridge project. The bridge has been designed so
that in the future if the streamwalk is approved by the
community, it can be located below the bridge on the north .side.
I hope that this letter will help to clarify your concern.
For your information, I have also enclosed a fact sheet on the
International Bridge Project which I thought might be of interest
to you. Once again, sorry for the confusion. We are trying to
make the construction of the International Bridge as positive as
possible. Please let me know if you have arty further questions
and I will be happy to discuss them with you.

The following is a recay of many comments made by those attending the Town of Vail's
foatrth community "Speak-Up" Meeting. A ~`r desigrwtes individual speakers.
Ro~z Phillips welcomed the group. and introduced the evening's facilitator, Bruce Chapman.
~`r VVhy does the Town feel it is necessary to hire a consultant to deal with the
carriage issue?
lKen Hu~hev: We are forming a committee to deal with various aspects of the ~ .
carriage issue. We expect this process to take three to six weeks. In the interim, we
want to bring in an expert for three to four hours to examine the current carriage
businesses. "Consultant" is probably a misnomer.)
~ When you have teams of horses in public areas, you are always going to have
challenging situations and the Town needs to accept this. We should give very
serious consideration to not renewing these contracts given the liability issues.
The problem is unsolvable.
~ The Town should also limit the individuals who are granted permission to ride
horses in the Village. We let individuals ride in parades and other special events
who have no equestrian experience.
~ A sleigh might be less likely to get into trouble. Carriages should perhaps be
disallowed.
1
~r Are the operators required to have insurance? '
e
(Ron Phillips: Absolutely.)
~ Carriage accidents present a PR problem as well.
~ We have a problem with too many cars parking on the street. We call the Police
Department and they say to call Public Works, and vice-versa. There is also a lot
with junk cars in the neighborhood.
(Ken Hu~hev: We have some pocket problems on both sides of the interstate. If we
come on too hard to address the issue, we are criticized, and if we don't, we get
criticized. We walk a fine line on these matters.) '
~ Perhaps we could simply tighten up enforcement a bit.
(Ken Huehev: We formed a task force to try to deal with these issues this spring and
summer. The junk vehicle issue is a sticky one legally.)
~r There are some gray areas as to what is public and what is private property.
(Ken Huchev: Unfortunately, things have been lax in this regard,.but we are
working on it.)
~"c I ha~.~~ complained about my street for 26 years. I have not seen a police car on
my street all winter -and the construction vehicles go too fast on Forest Road.
We incorporated East and West Vail, but we can't even take care of the original
community.
(Corey Schmidt: We have talked about this before and have tried to schedule more
radar. We have as many people complaining about that we use too much radar as
complaining we don't use enough. We are trying to walk the fine line.)
We need to start taking care of our locals better. We should provide tax breaks
for people who live and work locally. We are going to lose our work force.
(Tim Gibson: Did you know that your Town property taxes haven't increased in
years? The County and School District are responsible for the increase of your
property taxes.) '
~c You should charge Vail Associates for cleaning the mud on the streets left from
the snowcats.
~ Why can't notices be sent to all job sites to deal with the parking on site?
~2
(Garv IVlurrain: The good news is we have been authorized to issue a stop work
order for parking violation enforcement. We are going to try to crack down on
_ blatant violators.) _
~ We are seeing an increasing number of homes being bought locally which belong
to out-of-towners. This is a problem because there are fewer people who are
active residents, eligible to participate on boards, etc.
~ It seems, to a certain extent, the Housing Authority is trying to address
affordable housing for locals.
~'r As long as the land values continue to escalate, how can you head off the flight
of locals? I don't see any way we can turn it around: The local government is in
a. very difficult situation.
(Tom Steinberg: There are only one-third as many employees living in Aspen as
there were ten years ago..We are trying to come up with affordable housing projects
which are restricted forever. Hopefully, this will balance the influx of second
homeowners to some degree.)
(Kristan Pritz: The Housing Authority received $300,000 for a housing project in
Donovan Park; however, there was some community opposition to moving forward
in this area. This makes affordable housing a difficult goal. We are so
interconnected as a Valley, we need to start looking at issues from aValley-wide
perspective, and, fortunately, this process has begun.)
~ I agree.
• The Down-Valley syndrome is here and we need to use the phenomena
positively. The impact is broad:
• We don't have local businesses which cater to the locals. Today, Vail is a
tourist driven community.
• Our bed base is actually shrinking as small units are being consolidated. The
owners of these units often don't feel compelled to rent them, so the unit sits
empty.
• We don't see "locals" even doing business locally anymore.
• We always looked at the parking structure as our life blood -not any more.
As the population ages, this structure is an obstacle. People cannot drive to
the front door of a restaurant in our town, so folks will drive all the way to
Beaver Creek.
3
All these factors have dramatic impact on the viability of the community. We
must do something to expand our markets, whether it be a performance center or ~
something else. We need to keep our community alive and vibrant and -
competitive.
The parking structure is an impediment now for anything besides skiing.
~ I get a lot of people who complain about the parking structure. People do not
want to pay for parking in the evening. 1Vlaybe we should make parking free
after 4:00 P1VI.
~ Perhaps we should build a lift out of 1Vlinturn to the top of the mountain.
~`r Realistically, we are not going to tear the structure down. Perhaps we just need
to better utilize it.
~ I have never heard that the structure was a problem before.
(Tom Steinberg: Staff is currently looking at the possibility of providing free or
discounted parking in the evening.)
~^r We need to examine our economic base and not kill the golden goose.
(Tim Gibson: We are developing different forums to deal with these various issues.
This is a good sign and is mandatory to dealing effectively with problems.)
~`r Vail is a very dynamic community and we must address these issues in a
dynamic way. We tend to talk about things a lot but it takes us a long time to
respond. We first started working on the performing arts facility in the mid-60s.
Such a facility could hold the answer to some of our economic challenges. We
need to start acting to avoid a slow death.
Sometimes we are. all so busy, we dori t take time to sit down and truly think the
issues through.
(iim Shearer: Everyone seems to have a different agenda and it's hard to reach
compromises.)
~."r The big word in this community is salesmanship. We need to better train our
employees, teach them the art of salesmanship, and also provide adequately for
them.
~ Where is the line of too much versus not enough when providing for our .
employees.
~ Some places like Sweden might try to legislate the answers to these problems.
This is not an acceptable approach in our country.
4
{Kristan Pritz: The key will probably be the public and private sectors working
together on these issues.)
~ If you create a dynamic transportation system, such as a light rail, you may have
the answers to many of these issues.
~ The cost of a light rail system would be millions of dollars. I think we need to
deal with realities. Many of our problems locally stem from the greed factor.
~`r I believe we should create something which makes it easier for locals to live
down-Valley.
~`s The performing arts facility would be our "summer mountain." It would be the
single greatest economic boost we could give our town.
. fir We need to move forward with the performing arts and conference center, as
well as continue our support for summer marketing.
(Tom Steinberg: We are moving forward, but carefully. We are looking to support it
with .a combination of tax dollars and private dollars.)
(1im Shearer: I haven't heard anyone who is opposed to the project. I think we will
be moving forward, but carefully.)
~`r I agree that Vail's transportation system is as close to flawless as you'll find.
~`r Good communication between the Town and various organizations has allowed
significant projects to be accomplished. This has particularly been demonstrated
between the Town and the Vail Valley Foundation. The success of the recent
American Ski Classic is a testimony of what can be done when organizations
work together.
Mectirtg adjourned.

RE: Senate Bill 106
It has come to the Town of Vail's attention that Senate Bill 106, which has passed the
Senate Agricultural Committee on March 5, 1992, makes certain changes in the Colorado
Water Control Act which the Town of Vail vigorously opposes. The Town believes the
Bill should be amended to remove all language which threatens the 1041 Authority of
local governments by making hydrologic modifications "unnecessary" as a matter of State
law. This language may prevent county or municipal authorities from evaluating the
impacts of the construction or operation of any water project as a part of the 1041
permitting process, which could have very negative long-term impacts on Eagle County
and the Town of Vail.

LEGISLATIVE ALERT!!!
To: Q/Q Members CONFIDENTIAL - For use of Q/Q members
only
- From: Lee Merkel
Date: March 6. 1992 l
Subject: HB1200 and SB106
Your immediate attention and assistance is needed to defeat these
two bills in their present form!
1041 land use authority provided the basis for the Q/Q
Committee's formation in 1978. The Q/Q policy regarding 1041
regulations states that "any, legislative proposals to weaken or
eliminate 1041 authority should be defeated." HB1200 and SB106
would reduce local governments' ability to require mitigation of •
the impacts of water projects. -
The amended language contained in the legislative declaration 25-
8-102 contains the threat to~1041 authority.
You should have received.a memo from Barbara Green within the
past two days with details of the bill's language and why it
poses a threat. If .you need a copy of that memo, the actual
bills, or if you have any questions, please call me at 668-5445.
SB106: CONCERNING CHANGES IN THE °'COLORADO WATER QUALITY CONTROL
ACT"
Summary: Changes Water Quality Control Act regarding members of
Commission, classification of state waters, anti-
. degradation review procedures, as well as detailing the
implementation of a •stormwater point source discharge
program.
Status: Passed Senate Agriculture Committee March 5th with
amended language. Sent to Senate Appropriations
Committee (listed below).

Summary: Transfers Water Quality Control Commission and Division

be prevented from evaluatin~q the impacts of the construction or -
