First on the agenda was Citizen Participation of which there was none. Item No. 2 was a Consent Agenda consisting of three items: A. Approval of Minutes of June 2, 1992, and June 16, 1992, Evening Meeting Minutes. B. Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1992, second reading, an ordinance amending Chapter 2.32 of the Vail Municipal Code by the addition of Section 2.32.135 - Court Costs, empowering the Municipal Court Judge to assess court costs to be paid by defendants in the Municipal Court of the Town of Vail; and setting forth details in regard thereto.

Tom Steinberg seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-0, Merv Lapin and Jim Gibson not yet present. Merv Lapin and Jim Gibson joined the meeting at this point. Item No. 3 was a presentation of the 1991 audited financial statement. Steve Thompson introduced Jerry McMahan, President of McMahan, Armstrong, Novosad and Anderson, P.C., the firm which had performed the audit. Mr. McMahan indicated the audit was now completed, adding the audit had gone very well with very few item adjustments having been required. He advised a letter regarding minor accounting housekeeping issues had been delivered to Steve Barwick, and commented on the drastic improvement in the Town's accounting system over the last six to seven years. The audit materials and report had been assembled by the Town, resulting in unspecified savings to the Town. Mr. McMahan advised the approximate cost of this audit was $19,000, about the same as last year's audit.

A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, July 21, 1992, in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Pro-Tem, Tom Steinberg, at 7:30 P.M. Mayor Osterfoss arrived after Tom read the title of agenda item No. 6, Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992. MEMBERS PRESENT: Peggy Osterfoss, Mayor Tom Steinberg, Mayor Pro-Tem Bob Buckley Jim Gibson Rob Levine Jim Shearer MEMBERS ABSENT: Merv Lapin TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Ron Phillips, T.,~~~ Manager Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant to the Town Manager The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Davey Wilson, former member of the Liquor Licensing Authority, expressed his concerns relative to the May 26, 1992, Council interviews of applicants for two positions which became open on the Authority in June, 1992, due to term expirations. Mr. Wilson was not reappointed to the Authority after the interviews. He questioned the effectiveness of the interview process, and asked Council to explain the decision making process for selection of new members to the Authority. He also noted there were no longer any members on the Authority in the liquor service industry. For the record, Larry Eskwith said there could not be a licensee sitting on the Authority, but there could be individuals working in the liquor distribution industry. As it was agreed this was not the forum for individual questioning of Council members, Jim Gibson advised Mr. Wilson to contact Council members individually to discuss their personal votes. Next, Blondie Vucich advised the final adoption of the trapping regulation would take place on Thursday, 7/23/92, at the Holiday Inn/University Park in Ft. Collins. She state there was still concern the proposal recommended by Division of Wildlife staff was not in line with what had been agreed upon through numerous meetings with Division of Wildlife representatives and Vail's community representatives. She felt it needed to be known that, in the event a statewide regulation failed, Vail's regulation could remain in place. Ms. Vucich thanked Council for their most recent letter dated July 16, 1992, to individual members of the Colorado Wildlife Commission. Item No. 2 on the agenda was apN~„~al of the minutes of the June 30,1992, Special Evening Meeting minutes. Jim Gibson moved to approve the June 30,1992, Special Evening Meeting minutes, with a second from Jim Shearer. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 5-0, Mayor Osterfoss not yet present. Item No. 3 was the appointment of Building Board of Appeals Members. Gary Murrain asked Council to appoint all six applicants interviewed on July 14, 1992, for the five positions on this Board. He noted the first challenge for this Board would be to write up the Board's procedures for presentation to Council for adoption. Rob Levine moved to appoint all six applicants, Bill Anderson, Robert L. Arnold, David M. Floyd, Mark J. Mueller, David M. Peel, and Saundra Spaeh to the Building Board of Appeals with the understanding that Gary would return to Council with the rules and regulations developed for the Board before they were finalized. Jim Gibson seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 5-0, Mayor Osterfoss not yet present. Item No. 4 was Ordinance No. Ordinance No. 11, Series of 1992, first reading, an ordinance amending Chapter 18.24 of the Municipal Code of the T~wu of Vail by the addition of Section 18.24.058, controlling undesirable plants within the Town, declaring such plants a nuisance, 1 setting forth penalties for the violation of this ordinance; and setting forth details in regard thereto. Mayor Pro-Tem Steinberg read the title in full. Mayor Osterfoss arrived at this time. Jim Gibson moved to approve Ordinance No. 11, Series of 1992, on first reading, with a second from Jim Shearer. Before a vote was taken, Bob Buckley stated the penalties shown for violation of this ordinance were too severe. He requested the penalties be modified to eliminate the jail sentence, and reduce the indicated fine to be more in line with what it would cost Town or the State to have the weeds removed. Larry Eskwith advised the penalty shown was a standard penalty listed in the Municipal Code for an ordinance violation, but Council could set whatever minimum or maximum penalty they felt was appropriate. Ron Phillips explained the penalty shown covered the range of penalties set in the Municipal Code, and the appropriate penalty within that range would be determined by the judge. Larry indicated the State, in the 1991 Legislative Session, passed a statute which required both counties and municipalities to either have an undesirable plant management plan for all lands within their jurisdiction, or pass an ordinance outlawing the undesirable plants by January 1, 1992. Todd Oppenheimer explained the state legislation came about primarily as a result of large agricultural industry economic production losses determined to be caused by the weeds identified by the State. Tom Steinberg initiated discussion regarding the four weeds identified by the State, and also the use of herbicides and their potential non-point source water contamination. Todd noted the State Act was very clear about integrated management techniques including educational preventative measures, good stewardship, and mechanical, chemical, and biological control methods. He said TOV presently used all three control methods. James Johnson was concerned about the enforcement section of the ordinance. He felt it should be clarified that proper notice should be given during reasonable business hours prior to TOV's entry upon any premises, public or private. Larry indicated the State statute specifically gave the right for entry as indicated. He noted that could be deleted, but that would make it very difficult to enforce the ordinance. Discussion followed regarding the need for public education, and Jim Gibson agreed to add the need for an educational program to his original motion, and Jim Shearer agreed to second the motion with that addition. A vote was taken and the motion failed 3-3, Tom Steinberg, Rob Levine, and Bob Buckley opposed. Rob Levine then moved to ap~,~.. ~e Ordinance No. 11, Series of 1992, on first reading, with elimination of the ninety day potential jail sentence, deletion of the Russian and Canadian Thistle, and the addition of an educational program. Peggy seconded that motion. Before another vote was taken, the general penalty clause in the Municipal Code was again explained, and it was determined no precedent would be set if the penalty was changed for this ordinance. A final vote was taken and the motion passed, 4-2, Bob Buckley and Tom Steinberg opposed. Item No. 5 was Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1991, second reading, an ordinance amending Section G of the Vail Village urban design considerations relating to the protection of views within the T„WU of Vail and creating a new chapter of the Municipal Code of the T,.wu of Vail to provide for the protection of certain views within the Town and setting forth the details in regard thereto. Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Andy Kn.udtsen explained this ordinance was passed on first reading on May 7,1991. Since that time, staff had worked with concerned individuals, and revised the ordinance significantly. He noted the Town had updated the monumentation for all of the view corridors, and a new ordinance, No. 18, Series of 1992, was written which included different legal descriptions for each view corridor. Andy said staff now recommended Ordinance No 13, Series of 1991, be denied on second reading, and indicated the revised version, Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992, was prepared for first reading as agenda item No. 6 at this meeting. Tom Steinberg moved to deny Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1991, on second reading, with a second from Bob Buckley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Item No. 6 was Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992, first reading, an ordinance amending Section G of the Vail Village urban design considerations relating to the protection of views within the Town of Vail and creating a new chapter of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail to provide for the protection of certain views within the Town and setting forth the details in regard thereto. Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Andy Knudtsen advised staff and a public committee worked on this new ordinance, and he said three major areas were discussed during their meetings. The first was identifying criteria for evaluating requests to alter view corridors, second was addressing focal points such as the clock tower within this ordinance, and third was establishing the appr.,~,~:ate processes to allow for variations to the proposed standards. Jim Lamont suggested there be an appeal process for consultants the T„~u may hire to evaluate a proposal for view corridor alterations. Council agreed the process to hire a consultant for an SDD that involved review by Council would be acceptable 2 E s for this process and decided to add wording consistent with the SDD section. Andy spoke next about the second issue raised by Mr. Lamont which concerned height limitations. Andy said Mr. Lamont and he were basically in agreement at this point that when an SDD application was submitted, it would still need to conform to the view corridor boundaries, and anyone applying for an SDD which would exceed the identified boundaries would simultaneously have to apply for a view corridor amendment or an encroachment. Andy advised no encroachments, including vents, elevator shafts, chimneys, pipes, etc., were allowed within the view corridor without and amendment or an encroachment. Andy then briefly reviewed the entire ordinance item by item, expressly indicating the Notice and Hearing Procedure section as a key element of the ordinance. After further discussion, Jim Gibson moved to approve Ordinance No. 18, Series of 1992, on first reading, with a second fem.,,,, Tom Steinberg. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Item No. 7 was Ordinance No. 20, Series of 1992, first reading, an ordinance amending Section 16.24.010(G) of the Vail Municipal Code, setting forth provisions relating to signs displayed on balloons which are associated with a special event within the Town of Vail. Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Tim Devlin reviewed research done on how other resort communities were dealing with the cold air balloon issue. Tim noted input was also received f~„ Tom Davies. Discussion followed concerning the number of cold air balloons allowed for any special event, details concerning the time and work involved for inflation and deflation of the balloons, and tightening of the ordinance verbiage to specify limitation of inflation time. Jim Shearer asked if the Vail Valley Foundation had made any input on the issue. Jce Macy stated this issue came up in the Vail Valley Foundation's planning for the World Cup Mountain Bike Finals. He said sponsors involved wanted recognition of their participation, and he thought some events might be lost without the option of the cold air balloons available for sponsors to showcase their products. He noted the special events were a great financial benefit to Vail. After discussion, Rob Levine moved to approve Ordinance No. 20, Series of 1992, on first reading with the added provision that the balloons could only be inflated during the special event and related ceremonies, with reasonable time allowed for set-up and take-down of the balloons; also, the ordinance was to be reviewed in one year. Jim Shearer seconded the motion. After brief discussion, a vote was taken and the motion passed, 4-2, Tom Steinberg and Jim Gibson opposed. Item No. 8 was Resolution No. 11, Series of 1992, a resolution adopting a Joint Paratransit Plan with the T..~.. of Avon and the City of Leadville. Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Mike Rose advised July 26,1992, was the deadline for adoption of the plan in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. After brief discussion, Tom Steinberg moved to approve Resolution No 11, Series of 1992, with a second from Jim Gibson. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. Before adjournment, Mayor Osterfoss acknowledged receipt of a gift of $5,000.00 from the Vail Valley Foundation to be used toward the Art in Public Places project at the Vail Transportation Center. There being no further business, a motion to adjourn the meeting was made and passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Margaret A.

Section 2 Section G of the Urban Design Considerations is hereby modified to read as follows: Paraara~h G Vail's mountain/valley setting is a fundamental part of its identity. Views of the mountains, ski slopes, creeks and other natural features are reminders of the mountain environment and, by repeated visibility, are orientation reference points. Certain building features also provide important orientation references and visual focal points. The most significant view comdors have been adopted as part of Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Municipal Code. The view corridors adopted tit - should not be considered exhaustive. When evaluating a development proposal, priority should be given to an analysis of the impact of the project on views. Views that should be preserved originate from either major pedestrian areas or public spaces, and include views of the ski mountain, the Gore Range, the Clock Tower, the Rucksack Tower and other important man-made and natural elements that contribute to the sense of place associated with Vail. These views, which have been adopted by ordinance, were chosen due to their significance, not only from an aesthetic standpoint, but also as orientation reference points for pedestrians. Development in Vail Village shall not encroach into any adopted view corridor unless approved under Chapter 18.73. Adopted comdors are listed in Chapter 18.73 of the Vail Muniapal Code. Whether affecting adopted view corridors or not, the impact of proposed development on views from pedestrian ways and public spaces must be identified and considered where appropriate. The Vail Land Use Plan, Town Policies, the Urban Design Guide .Plans, and other adopted master plans, shall be used to help determine which views may be affected, and how they should be addressed. Section 3 If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such deasion shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance; and the Town C~ ~ hereby declares it would have passed this ordinance., and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that any one or more parts, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.

On behalf~of the East village Homeowners Association, please consider the followixiq comments and Concerns with regards to the sanctioning by ordinance of hot and cold air balloons for special event. The Homeowners Association does not oppose the use of hot and cold air balloons at special events. Tt does however, oppose the use of these infiatables as a means of advertising products, services, and sponsors. Specifically, the xomeowners Association apposes the Proposed amendment to the s~.qn code because it would allow for the proliferation of undesirable advertising devices in the T..•r~.~ of Vaii. The ,introduction of thirty foot high hot and coXd air balloons, that are replicas of products ar from which 1 e advertising signs are suspended, is net in keeping with the quality public image that veil has striven to Canvey and maintain. Historically, the oontent of signs in the T~..~,~ of Vail has been restricted to wording or symbols that locates or identifies a particular business. The advertising of products or services has not been generally permitted. The reason for limiting advertising devices ~Ls to provide that the commun~.ty presents a quality image and dignified appearance to its visitors, residents, and property owners. The Homeowners Association does trot believe that any standard should be adopted into the sign Code that favors or encourages the advertising of products, services promoters, and sponsors. The. potential for the proliferation of inflatable advertising devices at special events or in con junction with other C.~.,....ercial activities is of paramount concern. such activity should not be condoned or promoted by the sign code. The Town Council is also being asked to approve by emergency ordinance a special exemption for "temporary signage" for the 1992 Mountain Sike World cup Finals.

Larry .~e~it, Vice President, Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. DATE: August 4, 1992 RE: Financial Advisor Evaluation of the Proposals to Refund the Town's Sales Tax Revenue Bonds I. Background A Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent to a large number of firms by the Town of Vail wherein the firms were asked to evaluate the possibility of refunding all or part of the Town's outstanding Sales Tax Revenue Bonds to improve the cash flow of the Town and issue new money bonds to f Hance a new municipal building. Six (6) firms, or groups of firms, responded to the Town's Request for Proposals which included in alphabetical order: 1. A.G. Edwards/Coughlin & Company 2. Dillon Read 3. George K. Baum 4. Kemper Securities 5. Kidder Peabody 6. Kirkpatrick Pettis/Piper Jaffray Additionally, responses received were from Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs. Lehman Brothers' proposal was non-responsive. Goldman Sachs said that at this time they did not feel that they could respond to the RFP. 1 ~•m~a Denver • Glenwood Springs, Colorado Wichita, Kansas y Members Belle Mead, New Jersey New York Stork E~:;hange, Inc Albuquerque, New Mexico wd.,.~.. s-..~a American SYOUk Exchangry, Ina (Associate) Cheyenne, Wyoming Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. Investment Bankers II. Methodolo~v Our methodology was to review the six proposals based upon the following questions. 1. Which refunding structure provided the lowest present value cost to the Town of Vail? (The new money portion was handled simiarly by all six proposers. ) 2. Does the firm have experience in structuring Colorado sales tax revenue bonds? 3. Which firm has the most experience in rating and/or insuring bond issues for Colorado mountain communities and resort communities: 4. Which firm provided a reasonable fee to the Town of Vail? 5. Did the firm have the ability to market the bonds? 6. Could the firm meet the November 3, 1992 deadline? Each of the six proposals approached the refunding differently. To allow an "apples to apples" comparison to be made of the six proposals, we developed a computer model to "equalize" the proposals. The extensive computer model allowed us to analyze how each firm dealt with issues such as the reserve fund; the use of zero coupon securities, the handling of the repurchase agreement (Repo) with Morgan Stanley, etc. To insure an accurate result, we double-checked our approach. A full numerical analysis has been made available to the Town. As we moved through the analysis of each of the six proposals, it became obvious that the proposal of Dillon Read was not as strong as the remaining five proposals. We came to this conclusion because Dillon Read's proposed structure was similar to several other proposals (and not as cost effective) and their fee was much higher than the other competitors. Thus, the Dillon Read proposal was eliminated. In ranking the other five proposals by present value cost, as determined by our model, we came to the following conclusion. Firm Scenario Present Value Rank Kemper Securities Primary $23,479,852 1 Alternate 23,462,743 1 George K. Baum Primary 23,489,620 Alternate 23,544,313 2 KPSP/Piper Jaffray Primary 23, 829, 897 3 Alternate 24,254,313 4 2 Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. Investment Bankers Kidder Peabody Primary 23,984,801 4 Alternate 23,901,813 3 A.G. Edwards/ Primary 24,423,047 5 Coughlin & Co. Alternate 24,439,580 5 Other items considered in our evaluation of the proposals included the experience of the firms (and individuals) in structuring sales tax revenue bonds in Colorado and experience with rating or upgrading the rating of bonds for Colorado mountain communities and resort communities. Furthermore, we evaluated the underwriting fee proposed by each firm. From our evaluation of the current market, an underwriter's discount from $7.50 to $9.00 per thousand is reasonable in today's market for an issue of the magnitude of the Town of Vail's issue. We also evaluated the marketing ability of each firm. Finally, we commented on the reasonableness of the scheduled closing in light of the November 3, 1992 deadline. III. Analysis of Each of Proposals A. A.G. Edward/Coughlin & Company The A.G. Edwards/Coughlin & Company proposal had a present value cost of $24,423,000 for the primary alternative and $24,439,000 for the alternate approach. Their proposal had the highest present value cost under both approaches. Their approach was geared towards refunding all of the 1985 and 1989 bonds in an attempt to have one ordinance govern all of the Town's .Sales Tax Revenue Bonds. This is the most costly structure. In discussions with the Town, there seems to be no advantage in having one bond ordinance. The existing covenants are workable. A.G. Edwards does have sales tax revenue bond experience, but neither A.G. Edwards nor Coughlin & Company has a lot of recent experience in upgrading the bonds of Colorado mountain and resort communities. A.G. Edwards quoted a fee of $7/$1,000 which is a reasonable fee. A.G. Edwards does have excellent retail distribution. The calendar proposed by A.G. Edwards/Coughlin & Company showed a closing on October 30 which is too close to the November 3, 1992 deadline. B. George K. Baum George K. Baum had the second lowest present value cost with the primary alternative having a cost of $23,489,000 and the alternate structure having a cost of $23,544,000. However, their numbers must be evaluated in the light that they used all zero coupon securities in their proposal. The interest rate for zero coupon securities is higher than the interest rate for serial bonds. George K. Baum's present value cost would have been higher 3 Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. Investment Bankers had they adjusted interest rates to account for the extensive use of zero coupon securities. George K. Baum's proposal attempts to refund as few bonds as possible to keep the cost to the Town at a minimum. The George K. Baum proposal did not address the probable need of a reserve fund for the 1992 issue. George K. Baum has excellent experience in underwriting Colorado sales tax revenue bonds. George K. Baum has the most experience of any of the six proposers in rating or upgrading the rating of the bonds for Colorado mountain or resort communities. George K. Baum's fee was quoted at $11/$1,000 for zero coupon securities and $6.50/$1,000 for serial coupon bonds. They based their proposal on $11/$1,000 as they used zero coupon bonds exclusively in their proposal. Thus, their fee was slightly higher than most proposers. They scheduled the closing to occur on October 27 which allows about a one week cushion to meet the November 3 deadline. This is a reasonable expectation. C. Kemper Securities Kemper Securities had the lowest present value cost with $23,479,000 for the primary alternative and $23,462,000 for the alternate scenario. As with George K. Baum, Kemper Securities refunded a small amount of the Town's outstanding bonds. This helped Kemper to achieve the lowest present value cost. However, the low cost is a product of how the Repo with Morgan Stanley was handled and innovative substitution of a surety policy for the debt service reserve fund. These items need to be clarified. Kemper Securities has some sales tax revenue bond experience and some experience in upgrading the ratings of bonds for mountain and resort communities. However, their experience is not as extensive as that of George K. Baum. Kemper Securities used serial bonds exclusively without zero coupon bonds being necessary. The underwriting discount proposed by Kemper Securities is $7.85/$1,000 which is reasonable in light of the size of the transaction. Kemper Securities has the experience to market the Town's bonds. Their scheduled closing on October 20 allows a reasonable cushion to meet a November 3 deadline. 4 Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. Investment Bankers a D. Kidder Peabodv Kidder Peabody had the fourthe highest present value cost with $23,984,801 for the primary alternative and third highest cost with $23,901,813 for the alternate scenario. Kidder Peabody seems to offer a strong presentation in the way of structuring a refunding bond issue, but little in the way of day to day service for the Town of Vail. Kidder Peabody is a very large investment banking firm but has no Colorado sales tax revenue bond experience and relatively little experience in underwriting Colorado bonds. The fee proposed by Kidder Peabody is relatively high with $12.80/$1,000 being proposed for the zero coupon bonds and $10/$1,000 being proposed for the serial or current interest bonds. They proposed a closing by September 24. If they were aware of the ordinance procedures of the Town they would realize that the closing would almost have to be in October. E. Kirkuatrick Pettis (KPSPI/Piper Jaffrav KPSP/Piper Jaffray had the third highest present value cost with their primary alternative totalling $23,829,000 and the fourth highest cost with their alternate scenario totalling $24,254,000. KPSP/Piper Jaffray has a moderate amount of sales tax revenue bond experience in the State of Colorado and has some experience in the upgrading the ratings of Colorado mountain and resort communities. The underwriter's discount proposed by KPSP/Piper Jaffray was the lowest being $4.90/$1,000 including a takedown (selling expense) of $3.90/$1,000. Our only comment is that a takedown of $3.90/$1,000 is quite low. A low takedown (sales expense) would make it difficult for the sales people at either firm to get terribly excited about selling the bonds for the Town of Vail. Thus, the interest rate for the Town of Vail might be ever so slightly higher to encourage the salesmen to sell bonds for a low of fee. KPSP/Piper Jaffray does have strong marketing ability. They scheduled their closing for October 19 which is very reasonable and leaves a cushion to meet the November 3 deadline. 5 Hanifen, Imhoff Inc. Investment Bankers IV. Recommendation Based on our analysis of the proposals, we recommend that Kemper Securities be selected to serve as the senior managing underwriter for the Town of Vail's 1992 Sales Tax Revenue bond issue and George K. Baum be selected as a co-manager. This recommendation is conditioned on two items. First, Kemper Securities must prove to the Town of Vail that nearly $400,000 can be obtained from the early cancellation of the repurchase agreement with Morgan Stanley. Second, Kemper Securities innovatively substituted a surety policy for the debt service reserve fund. It is unclear whether MBIA (or any other insurance group) will allow a surety reserve policy to stand in the place of a fully funded reserve. Thus, there is some uncertainty with Kemper's proposal. George K. Baum (the second place firm), did not have the same uncertainties with the handling of the repurchase agreement or the surety reserve fund. However, George K. Baum's proposal is conditioned on the sale of zero coupon securities at the same interest rates as serial bonds. If George K. Baum's proposal were adjusted to account for the higher interest rate needed to sell zero coupon securities, then their proposal would be several hundred thousand more in present value cost than Kemper's proposal. George K. Baum does have more experience than any other firm in receiving ratings for and upgrading the ratings of Colorado mountain communities and resort communities. Thus, we recommend that Kemper Securities be the lead underwriter and George K. Baum be a co-managing underwriter. Kemper's numerical approach would be utilized and George K. Baum's experience with the rating agencies would be utilized. If it becomes apparent that Kemper Securities cannot follow through with the repurchase agreement with Morgan Stanley or the receipt of a debt service reserve fund surety policy, then George K. Baum would be the clear winner. However, Kemper Securities should be given a chance to prove their proposal. 6 TOWN OF VAIL AGREEMENT FOR l FIRE SUPPRESSION )~Q ` +4. THIS AGREEMENT FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION SERVICES is made effective the _ day of , 1992 by and between the TOWN OF VAIL, a Colorado municipal corporation ('Yhe Town"), and VAIL ASSOCIATES, INC., a Colorado corporation ("Vail Associates").

I. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST Jay Peterson, acting on behalf of the owners of the Red Lion Building, Vencura, Ltd., is requesting that the Town amend a condition of a previously approved exterior alteration in the Commercial Core I zone district. During the spring of 1990, the applicants received the necessary Town of Vail approvals to redevelop the Red Lion Building. These development approvals included a site coverage variance, a stream setback variance, a conditional use permit for an outdoor dining deck, an exterior alteration for Commercial Core I and a modification to View Corridor No. 1. Subsequent to the Planning and Environmental Commission's review of the above requests in 1990, the Town Council appealed the decisions of the PEC and called up the redevelopment proposal for review. On May 1, 1990, the Town Council reviewed the PEC decisions. During the review of the exterior alteration approval, the Town Council added an additional condition of approval. This condition specifically stated that the applicant would be required to pay any incremental increase in the Town's pay-in-lieu parking fees that may be established within two years from the time a building permit is issued for the project. As indicated in the attached minutes of this meeting, this additional condition of approval was accepted by the applicant's representative, Jay Peterson, at the previous Town Council evening meeting on April 17, 1990. It is this Condition of the exterior alteration approval with which the applicant is requesting to be deleted. On April 2, 1991, the Town Council approved Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1991, on second reading. This ordinance specifically amended Section 18.52.160 of the Vail Municipal Code and set the parking-in-lieu fees for Commercial Core I and Commercial Core II at $8,000 per parking space. Subsequent to the approval of this ordinance the parking pay-in-lieu fees, for development within Commercial Core 1 and Commercial Core II, were set at $3,000 per commercial space and $5,000 per residential space. The result in this increase in the parking pay-in-lieu fee, for the Red Uon Building redevelopment, resulted in an additional fee of $14,600. The fee calculated under the "old" system, totaled $18,360. The fee calculated under the "new" system, equals $32,960. ti li. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The staff does not have a formal recommendation of the applicant's request to delete Condition No. 12 of the exterior alteration request for the Red Lion Building. It is the staff's position that because Condition No. 12 of the exterior alteration approval was a condition specifically added by the Town Council, that the Council should make the decision to either approve or deny the applicant's request. C:WECV~AEMO6~REDLION.727 ' REVI8ED TO: Town Council FROM: C~,~.u.,.,inity Development DATE: April 25, 1990 RE: Appeal of PEC decisions of Red Lion redevel.~r~ent and consideration of Ordinance No. 16, amending view Corridor No. 1. The first of two separate items to be reviewed by the Council is a recall of the Planning Commission's approval of the Red Lion redevelopment. The background information on this request is provided on the Apri3 17th Council memo and the three PEC memos. One modification to this proposal, that was agreed to by the apUlicant, is that ~;~p gw,~,a};a ~aj.l;). ~av ~ncr~ase },n the parkinct fund rate if the rate ~,s chancred within two years of the issuance of a bu,ildinor narmi;.~ fir this tiro~ect. The second item pertains to amending Vail Village View Corridor No. 1. The accompanying memos provide background information on this request. In response to the Council's discussion of this amendment, the staff has requested additional information from the applicant and has discussed the view corridor with Jeff Winston. 1) The applicants have provided a cross-section of the Village from the parking structure to the Golden Peak House. This was done to demonstrate whether any other properties would encroach into the view corridor if they were redeveloped within the 43 foot height limit. 2) Jeff Winston was the lead consultant involved in establishing the Village view corridors. Jeff has reviewed this project and concurs with the staff recommendation. He reiterated that the purpose of this view corridor was to maintain views of the mountain, the Clock Tower and the Rucksack Tower. It was his feeling that the line could have been drawn at the Golden Peak House ridge and the objective of this corridor would be met. The proposed Red Lion ridge would not diminish any view of Vail Mountain. ' n I 4 Town Council ' FROM: Community Devel..r.~ent Department DATE: April 27, 1990 RE: The appeal of the Red Lion redevelopment approvals and Ordinance No. 15. The Council's review of the`Red Lion redevelopment proposal - entails five (5) separate requests. This memo is intended to assist the Council by outlining each of the motions necessary in responding to these requests. 1. A site coverage variance to permit a .25$ increase in this property's site coverage. This request was approved by a 6-1 vote. A motion to uphold or overturn this request is necessary. z: A stream setback variance to allow a 2 foot encroachment into the required 30 foot stream setback. This request was approved by a 6-1 vote. A motion to uphold or overturn this request is necessary. 3. A conditional use permit for an outdoor dining deck on the east side of the Red Lion Building. This request was approved by a 7-0 vote. A motion to uphold or overturn this request is necessary. 4. An exterior alteration to add enclosed floor area to the Red Lion Building. This request was approved by a 5-2 vote with 11 conditions as outlined in the April 17th, 1990 memorandum to the Town Council. A 12th condition to be added to this approval would require the owners to pay any incremental increase in parking fees that may be established within two years from the time a building permit is issued for this project. A motion to uphold or overturn this request is necessary.

M.., A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, May 1, 1990, at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Rose, Mayor Lynn Fritzlen Jim Gibson Merv Lapin Robert Levine Peggy Osterfoss MEMBERS ABSENT: Tom Steinberg, Mayor Pro Tem TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Charlie Wick, Assistant Town Manager Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney • Pam Brandmeyer, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was approval of minutes of the April 3 and 17, 1990, meetings. Rob Levine moved to approve the minutes as presented, with a second coming from Lynn Fritzlen A vote was taken and the vote passed unanimously 5-0. At this point in the meeting Merv Lapin was absent. Item number two was Citizen Participation. There being no Citizen Participation, the council moved to item number three. Item number three was an appeal of the Planning. and Environmental Commission decisions regarding the redevelopment of the Red Lion hiaildina (Conditional use permit, Stream setbaZ~R'~~T"a4R"~""Si ~e coverage var7 ance; and ~ an Exterior alteration). Kristan Pritz initiated the discussion by calling the Council's attention to an Aprii 27, 1990, memo from Community Development in regard to the appeal of the Red Lion redevelopment approvals and Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1990. She stated five separate motions eventually would be made to deal with various considerations before the council. To be considered prior to the reading of Ordinance 16, 1990, were the following: 1. A site coverage variance to permit a .25 percent increase in this property's site coverage. This request was approved by a Planning Commission 6-1 vote. A motion to uphold or overturn this request would be necessary. 2. A stream setback variance to allow a two foot encroachment into the required thirty foot stream setback. This request was approved by a 6-1 Planning Commission vote. A motion to uphold or overturn this request would be necessary, 3. A conditional use permit for an outdoor dining deck on the east side of the Red Lion building. This request was approved by a 7-0 Planning Commission vote.

A motion to upho or over urn ~s uld de necessary. Merv Lapin arrived at 7:55 P.M. - Kristan further specified that if the Planning Commission's approval of these four requests were to be upheld by the Town Council, the Council should condition their approval upon the passage of Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1990, a modification of a View Corridor #1. Kristan stated that the PEC recommended approval of the Uiew s ~ r . Corridor amendment by a vote of 6-1 ~in favor, with two conditions. She further ' stated the Ordinance was approved by a 4-2 Council vote at the first reading in April, and a motion to approve or deny Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1990, with two recommended conditions as outlined in the April 17, 1990, memorandum, would be requested. Kristan advised Council to focus on the appeal of the entire project in consideration of each of the variances and the conditional use permit that were being requested in order to complete the project. The first area to be discussed was the exterior alteration review criteria. Included in this was the discussion of the urban design guide plan and urban design considerations which included the following: a: pedestriazation b: vehicular penetration c: streetscape framework d: street enclosure e: street edge f: building height g: views and focal point h: service and delivery is sun/shade j: architectural and landscape consideration. All details were presented as described in the March 19th, 1990, memorandum from Community Development to the Planning and Environmental Commission. Information in regard to the Stream setback variance to allow a two foot encroachment into the required thirty foot stream setback was discussed next, with reference to the March 19, 1990, memorandum. Review criteria for each variance and the conditional use permit were presented for Council consideration. The third item to be considered was a conditional use permit for an outdoor dining deck on the east side of the Red Lion building. The fourth item was a site coverage variance to allow for an entry on the east side 'of the Red Lion. Kristan explained that at the PEC's regular meeting, April 9, 1990, approvals were given on those items. PEC conditions of approval per the April 17th staff memo for the project included: 1. As a part of this redevelopment, the applicants agree to point and repair the brick wall along Bridge Street and in the area of the small Plaza to the northwest corner of the site. Improvements to this Plaza may also include upgrading existing benches, planters, newspaper box and trash receptacle locations and landscaping. 2. The streetscape improvements shown along Hanson Ranch Road are considered conceptual and the applicants shall agree to work with the Staff and Winston & Associates in refining this design relative to the Vail Village streetscape Plan. This condition shall also apply to the Plaza`-"area referenced in condition #1 and the landscape improvements proposed adjacent to Mill Creek. 3. All windows located on stucco wall plains shall be recessed a minimum of three inches. 4. State-of-the-art venting shall be used to reduce negative impact (smell, smoke, etc.) emanating from the site. 5. The owners/developers of the residential development on this site shall agree to permanently restrict gross residential floor area (GRFA), building height and density on this site to what is permitted by this approval. The Town of Vail shall be a party to this restriction and the restriction shall be recorded with the Clerk and Recorder's Office in Eagle County. These restrictions on GRFA density and height must be acceptable to the Town Attorney as submitted by the owner and approved before recording. 6. Any trees damaged or killed within two years of the completion of this project shall be replaced with similar size and type tree. 7. The Red Lion logo shall be retained as a part of this redevelopment in approximately the same size and location. 8. The developers/owners will be encouraged to participate in developing solutions to traffic, loading, and delivery problems in Vail Uillage. 9. The Rekord (or other type of window system installed) to the Red Lion Restaurant along Bridge Street, shall remain totally opened during business hours between June 15 and September 15 of each year. These windows may be opened at any other time during the year at the discretion of the restaurant management. 10. The applicant shall complete stream-bank stabilization work on both sides of Mill Creek over the entire length of the Red Lion property. The final design and implementation of these improvements shall be subject to review by the Staff and the Design Review Board. 11. The owners shall agree to participate in, and not remonstrate against, a Special Improvement District, if and when one is formed in the Village. 12. The owners/developers agree to pay any incremental increase in parking fees that may be established within two years from the time a building permit"i' issued for this project. (This condition was accepted by the applicant's representative, Jay Peterson, at the previous Town Council evening meeting on April 17, 1990.) Approval of this exterior alteration, variances, and conditional use are contsingent upon the Council giving final approval to Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1990. Kristan explained that the PEC also recommended approval of the View Corridor Ordinance with the following conditions: 1. That the photo depicting View Corridor No. 1 be modified to reflect the new Red Lion Building at a time when the expansion is completed. The Commission preferred this alternative as opposed to modifying the line that delineates the View Corridor. -2- ' t. ,i i 2. That the specific reasons justifying this request be included in the ' preamble of the ordinance authorizing this amendment. At this point in the meeting discussion turned to Item five which was Ordinance No. 16, Series of 1990, second reading, an~Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1983, in order to modify View Corridor No. 1; and setting forth details in regard thereto. Mayor Rose read the title in full. Kristan stated the current remodel falls within the height allowed in the zoning code.and that Jeff Winston had stated that in coming up with the original View Corridors, the consideration was to preserve the visual connection between the parking structure and the mountain and to maintain the views of the mountain, the Clocktower, and the Rucksack Tower. It was Jeff Winston's feeling that the line could have been drawn at the Golden Peak House Ridge and the objective of this corridor would have been met. The proposed Red Lion Ridge would not diminish any view of Vail Mountain. In regard to the height of the building, the applicants had provided a cross section of the Village from the Parking Structure to the Golden Peak House. This was done to demonstrate whether any other properties would encroach into the View Corridor, if they were redeveloped within the forty-three foot height limit. Larry Eskwith discussed whether the nonconforming height of the Golden Peak House was legal and referenced 18.64.090 under the••zoning code, restorations. Also, Larry pointed out a section on structures and site improvements and stated that a nonconforming use cannot become more nonconforming through a remodel. However, the Golden Peak House could be built back to its existing height so long as the area of the roof that was nonconforming was not increased in area or height through a remodel. He stated that this decision regarding the Red Lion would not create a problem. Kent Rose stated he believed the amendment to the view corridor did not go against the intent of the ordinance or the purpose of this specific view corridor. Rob Levine questioned Item No. 4 and the state-of-the-art venting on the roof and received an explanation about the stacked chimney arrangement. Jay Peterson, representing the applicants, Frankie and Oscar Tang, presented additional information from individuals within the community. Jim Morter, acting as architect for the project and Dan Corcoran, field engineer, spoke on behalf of the project, with Dan Corcoran stating that as a PEC member at the time view corridors were first discussed in the Town of Vail, he had discussed the process used in designations, their history, and their intent. His opinion was that the intent of the view corridor was being met. Further discussion from the audience included E11a Knox and Gordon Brittan, who spoke out against the granting of these variances, the conditional use permit and the change or the modification in the view corridor ordinance, Speaking for the project were Oscar Tang, Diana Donovan and Jack Curtin, representing Mrs. Cortlandt Hill. At this time, Merv Lapin moved to uphold the Planning Commission decision to allow the exterior alteration based on the staff memorandum dated April 17, 1990, and incorporating conditions 1 through 13 as previously stated, in his motion, with amended conditions as follows: 1. Amend condition 5 to say this agreement shall be submitted by the owner and approved by the Town Attorney before a building permit is released. 2. Amend condition # 8 to state if a central trash area is built in the Village, the owners would agree to use the trash facility and "will be encouraged" changed to "will participate in." 3. Conditions # 12 and 13 as reviously stated on page 2 of these minutes, are ~ncue 4. Condition 14 was added to state, "The proposed addition of the enclosed deck along Bridge Street will have a glass roof and be as transparent as possible. This motion was seconded by Peg Osterfoss, a vote was taken, and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0 in favor. • In regard to the stream setback variance to allow a 2 foot encroachment into the required 30 foot stream setback, Peggy Osterfoss moved to grant this variance to uphold the Planning Commission recommendation to approve, based on the fact this was not granting special privilege, was not detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community, and there were extraordinary circumstances in that the Red ' Lion building is already located within the stream tract setback. Jim Gibson seconded this motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 6-0. r' ~ ~ .

A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, August 7, 1990, at 7:30 p.m., in the Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building. MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Rose, Mayor Tom Steinberg, Mayor Pro Tem Lynn Fritzlen Jim Gibson Merv Lapin Robert Levine Peggy Osterfoss MEMBERS ABSENT: None TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Ron Phillips, Town Manager ' Larry Eskwith, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Town Clerk There was no Citizen Participation, the first item on the agenda. Next was a public hearing on the 1990-91 parking policies. Stan Berryman gave an introduction to the hearing stating the Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee had met several times to discuss recommendations for these policies. Arnold Ullevig then gave an in-depth presentation regarding the proposed policies and the reasoning for the changes from the current practices. He then held a question and answer session with Council and the public. Trevor Bradway felt the policies were discriminatory against Village workers and those who had paid into the parking fund for parking spaces in the Village Transportation Center. Josef Staufer commented that making employees (who get off work at 2:00 a.m.) park in Ford Park was unfair. There was some discussion regarding employees getting off at late hours, and why coupons worked well before and some people hated to get rid of them. Much discussion by the public and Council ensued regarding pros and cons. Rob Levine made a motion to table the item and send it back to the Advisory Committee for further review. Tom Steinberg seconded the motion. Jim Gibson stated he wanted to pass the program with the following conditions: lift restrictions on the Village parking structure parking; parking free at Ford Park; and other modifications to be made as the program went along. He felt this was a step in the right direction. Mayor Rose explained why he felt it should go back to the committee. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-2, with Lynn Fritzlen and Jim Gibson opposed. Ron Phillips asked Council to specifically name the items they felt the Advisory Committee should review. Lynn Fritzlen felt the added stress on employees because of the parking and housing situations was bad, and the plan could help by providing a pass specifically targeted to Village employees. Rob Levine thought the Village Transportation Center could be shared by a first come, first served basis by access or price; include the coupons at a reasonable rate; and there be one pass with no restrictions for $750, that the person could come and go as he pleased. Mayor Rose remarked since the audience felt the blue parking passes would promote more cars in the Village than the coupons, he felt a combined window sticker and coupon program ' was good and would work. He added he did not think there should be any summer charges for the Village parking structure, and was not sure differential rates on everything in the Village structure was proper. Jim Gibson thought a blue pass should have "a number of times used" and not "number of days." Peggy Osterfoss commented the audience wanted to have the ability to do what they wanted and parking where they wanted, and paying more was not an issue. The third item was a Consent Agenda of the following items: A. Approval of Minutes of July 3 and 17, 1990 Meetings B. Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance modifying Section 18.13.080(A) of the Municipal Code of the TOV regarding density control for the primary/secondary zone district (Applicant: Town of Uail) C.

D. Ordinance No. 28, Series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance amending the plan document of the Town of Vail employees' pension plan; and setting forth details in regard thereto. E.

H. Resolution No. 19, Series of .1990, a resolution authorizing the Town of Vail to rent a safe deposit vault at the FirstBank of Vail and authorizing certain officers to sign a lease therefor, to terminate the lease, to surrender the box, return the keys, and release the Bank from any liability in connection therewith. Merv Lapin made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Tom Steinberg seconded the motion. There was no discussion by Council or the public. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0. Lynn Fritzlen was out of the room at the moment. Next was Ordinance No. 25, Series of 1990, second reading, an ordinance amending Special Development District No. 23, the Vail National Bank Building, and setting forth the details in regard thereto. Mayor Rose read the full title of the ordinance. Mike Mollica stated the only change made since first reading was under Section 4.E. Anew palragraph had been added. Larry Eskwith then discussed Vail Associates' waiver of right of reverter clause which Jim Gibson had questioned at the first reading. Jay Peterson, representing the applicant, gave backgroun d information regarding the parking situation, and did not feel the ordinance's new paragraph 4.E. was fair. After some discussion by Council and Jay, a motion to approve the ordinance on second reading with the additional language was made by Merv Lapin. A second came from Rob Levine. A vote was taken and the motion passed 5-2, with Tom Steinberg and Lynn Fritzlen opposed. _ Fifth on the agenda wars Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1990, first reading, an ordinance amending SDD No. 7, commonly referred to as the Marriott Mark Resort, and the development plan in accordance with Chapter 18.40 of the Vail Municipal Code; and setting forth detarils in regard thereto (714 West Lionshead Circle, Lots 4, 7, C, D, Block 2, Vail-Lionshead 3rd Filing) (Applicant: M-K Corporation - Kaiser Morcus and Marriott Ccrporation). The full title was read by Mayor Rose. Jim Gibson made a motion t:o table this item until the September 4 evening meeting, per the applicant's request. Rob Levine seconded the motion. Kristan Pritz explained what rezoning the applicant was trying to change to and why. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. Next was Ordinance No. 27, Series of 1990, first reading, an ordinance amending Chapter 18.04 of the Wail Municipal Code by the addition of Section 18.04.035 Brew Pub; and amending Section 18.28.030 of the Municipal Code to add Brew Pub as a permitted use in the Commercial Service Center zone district; amending Chapter 18.28.040 of the Vail Municipal Code by the addition of Brew Pubs that sell beer wholesale and Brew Pubs which sell fifteen percent of the manufactured beer or ale for off-site consumption as conditional uses to the Commercial Service Center zone district; amending Chaipter 18.28 of the Vail Municipal Code to provide certain restrictions in the oK?eration of a Brew Pub; and setting forth details in regard thereto. The full tittle was read by Mayor Rose. Andy Knudtsen gave brief background information on the request. He stated three changes to the Code which had to happen regarding this request for a brew pub: 1) it had to be defined; 2) Council had to make a brew pub a use by right; and 3) they had to state specific -2- • items for conditional use. After some discussion, Andy then answered questions of Council. Merv Lapin then made a motion to approve the ordinance, which Jim Gibson seconded. Larry Eskwith suggested combining the two conditional uses shown in the ordinance into only one. Merv then amended his motion to approve the ordinance and to combine both conditional uses into one, and Jim amended his second. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. Seventh on the agenda was an appeal of the PEC decision to approve requests for an exterior alteration and landscape variance in order to construct an addition to the Lancelot Resta~~r~n, at. the Bell Tower Building located at 201 Gore Creek Drive (Part of Irac Block 5B, Vail'VTTT'~s~ riiiiiy~~ (Applicant: Hermann Staufer, Lancelot Restaurant). Kristan Pritz gave background information on the exterior alteration request andl explained why staff recommended approval with two conditions: 1. The applicant must remove railings surrounding the patio from November 1 to May 1 of each year. 2. The applicant, must participate in a project involving the property owners and the Town's Public Works Department in an effort to resolve drainage problems adjacent to the Bell Tower Building. These drainage problems are a result of the undirected drainage of"f of the building. Staff does not feel that the applicant should be required to provide the solution individually. However, staff feels it is fair to require him, a~s a property owner in the building, to participate and pay for his fair share as deerrsed by the building association. Any drainage improvements necessitated by the deck enclosure shall be addressed by the applicant in the Oesign Review Board submittal and building permit plans. Kristan then reviewed the landscape variance request and explained the reasoning for the request. She stated the staff recommended approval of the variance, and reviewed the Planning and Environmental Commission's vote for approval of 5-2. Kristan answered questions of Council. Peggy Osterfoss felt these were good ideas for the area. Tom Steinberg commented there should be an agreement with the applicant th~t~ a d NarKi ri ree ana T i i amenas one oral na ~~~~reases stated ees some ~m r,r tie next year, a wou a ~ncrease~ as well. reggy ustertoss made a~ motion to upho cision o rove an ex erio addition to the Bell Power Building, finding that the granting of this variance would not constitute a~ grant of special privilege, and was substantiated by the Vail Village Master Plan which encourages a wide variety of activities, events, and street life along pedestrian ways and plazas, and including the conditions required in the staff memorandum dated July 23, 1990. The motion was seconded by Merv Lapin. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. Peggy Osterfoss then made a motion to uphold the PEC's decision to approve a variance request to reduce the landscapincl to increase the Lancelot's deck. She stated the granting of this variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege, and was in compliance with the Vail Village Master Plan, and including the conditions that the landscaping be added k~etween the two buildings, and bench/possible boulder/Aspen tree be added to the Gore Creek Promenade greenspace as mitigation for the reduction of the landscaped areal. Tom Steinberg seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. Next was an appeal of DRB approval of the proposed residence at 3010 Booth Creek Drive (Lot 4, Block 3, Vail Village 11th Filing) (Owner: George P. Caulkins, Jr.). Shelly Mello garve background information regarding the request. Eliot Goss, an architect representing the Caulkins, presented the Council with drawings of the building in question. Kristan and Shelly then answered questions of Council. Werner Kaplan presented to Council for their review photographs of residences in the neighborhood, stating reasons why he was opposed to the building of the new home next door. Harry Frampton, a neighbor, requested Council overturn the DRB decision because he felt the Sa~iss style chalet in a contemporary neighborhood was totally out of place, plus they house needed a garage. August Grassis and Byron Rose, neighbors, supported h1r. Frampton's statements. Pepi Gramshammer felt the house was fine and should be approved, that everyone should have the right to build his/her own home. George Caulkins read aloud a letter he received from Rod Slifer in support of the chalet style as far as real estate price was concerned. After much discussion by Council„ staff, and the public, Merv Lapin made a motion to uphold the DRB decision with the conditions the shutters be done in a solid color, a landscaping plan be incorporated on the open area, and a two car garage be put on the property. Rob LeUine seconded the motion. Ned Gwathmey stated how the DRB had come to its decision. A vote was taken and the motion passed 4-3, with Mayor Rose, Tom Steinberg, and Lynn Fritzlen opposed. Mike Cacioppo gave reasons why he was against the Council's decision. -3- r At this time, Council decided to take the last two items out of order to expedite the last item a member of the public was waiting to address. Therefore, action on proposed lease between the TOV and the Eagle County School District for a playground at the Red Sandstone Elementary School site at 551 North Frontage Road was next. There was no discussion by Council or the public, except to delete the staff recommendation that the lease be conditioned on the School District renewing the Town's lease on the elementary school gym. Merv Lapin made a motion to approve the lease agreement, which was seconded by Jim Gibson. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. Discussion regarding an appeal of a DRB decision on the Wittemyer residence which included a new detached garage and gondola building and a revised front entry (338 Rockledge Road; Lot 1, Block 1, Vail Valley 3rd Filing) (Applicant: Mr. Wittemyer) was next. Mike Mollica remarked this item, which had been approved by the DRB, had been called up by the Council. He presented drawings of the plans and a scale model of the detached garage and house. Mike added it had been a unanimous decision. to approve the plans by the DRB. Ned Gwathmey, Chairman of the DRB, gave additional information regarding the plans and DRB's reasoning for the decision made. John Wittemyer also added background information. Ned then answered questions of Council. Lynn Fritzlen made a motion to uphold the DRB decision, which Peggy Osterfoss seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-l, with Merv Lapin opposed. There being no further business, this meeting was adjourned at 12:15 a.m. Respectfully submitted, ~ 7° ~ Kent R. Rose, Mayor ATTEST: . ~~~~t[.~ii'N~l,l~~ Pamela A.

RECEIVED J!~(~ ~ ? f992 COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division IN i t?ROFFICE COMMUNICATION TO: Interested Parties ~p~~ FROM: Dick Parachim, Eagle Mine Project Manager DATE: July 22, 1992 SUBJECT: Eagle Mine Preliminary Air Monitoring Results -June 1992 (EAG 7.1.6.3) The following is an update regarding the Eagle Mine air monitoring program during the June 1992. The airborne particulate data collected by the Paramount air monitors shown in the accompanying table are preliminary in nature. This means that the Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) values may be revised after auditing and validation by the air contractor and the State. The information is useful in assessing emissions during this time period, as well as trends in potential human exposure. The monitoring frequency during June continues on the one-in-six day program. Metals analysis is temporarily suspended until startup of construction activities in the spring. Both of these changes are allowed by the Remedial Action Plan and have been implemented in past shutdown periods. The concentrations for TSP were not above the air emissions permit levels during the June monitoring period. The notation ug/m3 stands for micrograms per cubic meter. A microgram equals one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram. Site activities in June were associated with collection and transfer of mine seepage and other contaminated water to the Consolidated Tailings Pile. The water treatment plant has continued to treat this water and discharge it to the Eagle River. Sludge generated from the treatment plant continues to be deposited on top of the Consolidate Tailings Pile. Sludge was removed from the supplemental surge pond and transferred to the historic pond area. The mine seepage collection system was extended to collect the flow coming down the rock face near Rock Creek. Additional lime was spread on the Roaster Pile #1 area to raise soil pH, The removal activities in the Gilman and Belden areas were also continued. For additional information, please contact Dick Parachini (331-4801) or Marion Galant (331-4855).

You voiced some concerns over the tree planting project in East Vail, concerns we both share. This project did experience a higher than normal loss of trees following planting. A loss of 10~ is generally considered normal due to stress, root damage, etc. At East Vail we lost about 24$, all of which are covered by a two-year warranty. The tree species chosen for the East Vail project were Subalpine Fir because of the growth habit desired and the altitude of the area. We have instructed the contractor to make all replacements with Lodgepole Pine rather than Fir. Subalpine Fir and Lodgepole Pine are both difficult to find as "Nursery Grown" material. All material was collected from Northern Colorado by an experienced digger operating under permit from the U.S. Forest Service. Park Superintendent, Todd Oppenheimer met with the digger and inspected ~ his operation prior to approving this source. Given the variability of soils and individual tree specimens the condition of the trees and rootballs were the best that could be obtained locally. Importing trees from different parts of the country is expensive and risky because of the differences in growing conditions. The contractor still has a large number of trees to replace at the project. Todd Oppenheimer has instructed them to wait until late September or early October to dig the trees and replant them. He also told the contractor to make sure the rootballs are close to Nursery standards for collected material. This should increase our survival rate to a normal percentage. We appreciate your input and hope we've addressed your concerns. Please feel free to contact either myself or Todd Oppenheimer at 479-2158 if you would like additional information. Si c rely, La ry rafe , Director Depar ment of Public Works/Transportation LG/cp cc: Mayor Osterfoss ~£ff ~o~£n 5047 Main Gore Drive 2 8 J u l y 19 9 2 Vail, Colorado 81657 Mayor, Members of Council, Town of Vail Facsimile 479-2157 Xc ; T~~~ Dear Mayor Osterfoss and Councilmembers: ~'7~t '?f/ There was an article in the Vail Daily today, PAS Lion pay-in-lieu parking issue, which was discus: Commission meeting yesterday. In that art: misquoted and quoted out of context, I find y.. ~~c~C~~ary zo correct the error, as the genre my mis-quoted remarks could be interpreted as being critical of the Council which was not the case or intent. My issue with the article. is the fact that during our discussions on the Red Lion matter, I queried Say Peterson about whether his client had agreed to pay tine larger parking amount and therefore simply had a Iegai contract with the town, regardless of what may have occurred with other applicants. Say agreed that that was the case, but then related that the Red Lion deal was identical to that of two concurrent applicants who were not required to pay the higher parking fees. My response was that for any commission, body, council or government to be inconsistent with its constituency was politically stupid and probably unlawful , however since I had not been involved in anv of the subiect hearings. I doubted. but had no wav of iudaina the inconsistencv he alleged and it was not proper for me or in my opinion the planning commission. to approve his reauest. The Council had made each decision. probably after a lot of, negotiation on the merits of each case. Unfortunately Scott Taylor from the Daily, picked up the ward "stupid"--which I regret having used--and shortened my remarks to fit that framework, There is a caveat to this issue, which I think should be addressed: Staff assured us that the Commission's consideration of the Red Lion matter, prior to its going to Council was necessary according to the Town Code. That is well and good, but I dissented strongly at the approval by the Planning Commission, fearing that the Council might not call it up; I believe that if a similar issue occurs, there needs to be a system where the Commission, without being required to make a decision, can specifically request that it be called up by Council. You as councilmembers are the governing body of the Town of Vail, and I believe that the commissions have a duty, as advisory bodies, to request that you hear an issue. The buck stops with you.

Issues such as frequency of sweeping, poor drainage, inadequate maintenance, lack of signage and general design have been continually raised by residents and guests of Vail through the years. Recently, however, complaints have been more frequent and increasingly serious in nature. As you know, the path is heavily used between Dillon, Breckenridge, Frisco and Vail, and is one of the premier bicycle routes in the state. While we are aware the Colorado Department of Transportation invests a certain amount of time and effort maintaining the path on the west side of the pass, it is clearly not as well maintained as the stretch to the east. The buildup of sand, gravel, and rocks, combined with the elements mentioned above, renders the western portion of this route dangerous for cyclists of all experience levels. Unfortunately, this does not reflect well on the CDOT or the State of Colorado, and hinders the efforts of both Summit and Eagle Counties to provide a top quality cycling experience for residents and guests. We are aware of plans by US West to install fiber optic cable along the route at some point in the future and would appreciate a periodic update from you regarding this proposal. It seems this might provide an opportunity for some cooperative reconstruction or realignment on the part of CDOT and others. This opportunity could be taken to correct design problems with the path and to minimize future .maintenance. Again, we consider the condition of the recreation path on the west side of Vail Pass to be an extreme danger for which we should all be concerned and, inevitably, a liability for CDOT. The enclosed letter reaffirms our concerns. We respectfully request that you add this matter to your list of priorities in your new role as District Engineer. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this situation and for keeping us apprised of your efforts. We look forward to working with you on future matters of mutual concern.

We were sadly dis2eppointad at ' the condition of the bike path. Not even minimal mair:tenanae had been done to the path. There ara patches cif gravel several ~.nches deep across the path in numerous places, Also, on 'the wall~~ there . are large xocks strewn across the path at a very difficult part v£ the path. To have two bikes pass in that section (one going up, one coming down) would be extremely dangerous for both bikers. My friends had orally disparaq~,ng remarks to make about the Town of Vail artd their maintenance of the path. T told them that I thought it was Eagle County that was responsible for maintenance of the path. They felt that Vail advertised the bike path as an amenity 2nd had some responsibility for seeing that #.t was properly taken care of. They painted to the obvious dxfferer~ca between the care taken on the Summit County side and the Eagle County side of the pass. I think they are xight.

Box 1234 Vail, Colorado 81658 303; 476-1818 July 30, 1992 Dear Council Member: I am writing you in response to my appearance before you during the citizen participation period at the Council meeting on July 21, 1992. As this was a secret ballot, it was never my intention to ask who you voted for. It was, however, my desire to find out at what point in the process your decision was made and upon what basis you formulated that decision. With all the evidence presented during the interview I am finding it very difficult to rationalize the final decision. It seems to me that it would behoove the Town Council to gain as much information as possible (i.e. talking to the Chairman of the liquor authority) previous to the vote. I would also suggest some criteria for members making up the board (i.e. a member of the liquor service industry). Your response is welcome and desired as I think communication is the key to making things better. Thank you for your time and concern Very truly yours, Davey Wilson DW/aw ~ ~ ~ ~ ' r ' Alt~rnaave Governmental Structures Avauable To Address recreation, TransFortation, Land 1Jse Planning, • and Businzss De~~elupment in Eagle County ivL3y 24, 19y2 - - ~ F~~,~?:sed bf Kevin Lir_dahl, Eagle jaunty Attorney and Christopher Rich, Esq. i- I.

Constitutional Based Authority. _ The Colorado Legislature codified several sections of the Colorado Constitution in C.R.S. §29-1-201 which reads: and ~urpose of this part 2 is to implement the provisions of section 18(2)(a) ( )(b) of article XIV of the state constitution ...and the amendment to I section 2 of article XI of the state constitution . . . by nerinittinQ and encouraging ¢overnments to make the mist efficient and effective use of their powers and ~resnonsibilities by cooneratin~ and contracting with other governments, and to this end this part 2 shall be liberally construed. The statutes ificall authorizes local overnments to coo rate or contract with each P~ Y g Pe other "to provide anv function. service. or facility lawfully authorized to each of the cooperating or contractine units C.R.S. §29-1-203(1). Local governments may enter into cooperative agreements only where each governmental entity has, or may obtain, authority to perform that function. Any contracts entered into under this section must specify purposes, powers, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of the contracting parties which may act individually or jointly. C.R.S. §29- 1-203. When other statutory sections provide requirements for special types of intergovernmental cooperation or contracting, such provisions shall control. Id. Associations of Political Subdivisions. Two or more political subdivisions ma form or maintain associations "for the Y purposes of promoting through investigation, discussion, and cooperative effort interests and welfare of the several political subdivisions of the State of Colorado and to promote a closer relation between the several political subdivisions of the state." C.R,S. §29-1-401. The statute does not delineate particular organizational structures, specific goals, or funding mechanisms for such associations except for the purpose of lobbying. See, C.R.S. §29-1-403. -1- i t i I SPF.~.iriC AREAS OF COOrricATIVE IIv i rxEST The rest of this discussion explores particular areas of interest for intergovernmental cooperation including specific authority and procedure for creation, function, funding, significant limits, and miscellaneous points of interest. t LAND USE PL.ANNIl~iG Land Use Control Enabling Act. Creation. The Land Use Control Enabling Act authorizes local governments to "cooperate or contract with other units of government ...for the purposes of planning or regulating the development of land including, but not limited to, the joint exercise of planning, zoning, subdivision, building, and related regulations." C.R.S. §29-20-105(2)(a). Function. This Act specifically provides that local governments may enter into mutually binding and enforceable comprehensive development plans for areas in their jurisdictions. C.R.S. §29-20-105(2)(a). A comprehensive development plan may contain "master plans, zoning plans, subdivision regulations, and building code, permit, and other land use standards, which, if set out in specific detail, may be in lieu of such regulations or ordinances of the local governments." C.R.S. §29-20-105(2)(b). The statute does not specify an exact organizational structure for carrying out planning, g=g: ,there is no suggestion of which members should make up a cooperative planning body or how such a body should be structured. Funding. For funding intergovernmental land use planning the Act states that "without limiting or superseding any authority presently exercised or previously granted, local governments are hereby authorized to receive and expend funds from other governmental and private sources for the purposes of planning for or regulating the use of land C.R.S. §29-20-106. Limits. In the event that a cooperative plan is silent as to a specific land use matter, existing local land use regulations control. C.R.S. §29-20-105(2)(e). Furthermore, local governments may not be required to enter into intergovernmental agreements or comprehensive land use plans under the Act. C.R.S. §29-20-105(2)(1). The provisions of the Act do not apply to Regional Planning Commissions discussed in the next section. -2- \ i f( i Miscellaneous. The Land Use Enabling Act allows cooperating governments to include clauses in their agreements requiring mutual amendment of plans, cooperative control over annexed land, and revenue sharing. C.R.S. §29-20-105(2). Regional Plannine Commissions. Creation. The governing bodies of municipalities and the board of county commissioners may cooperate in creating a regional planning commission "for any region defined by said cooperating governing bodies or officials or boards limited to a region within the jurisdiction of said governing bodies." C.R.S. §30-28-105(1). Function. It is the duty of a regional planning commission to make and adopt a master plan for development of the territory within the boundaries of the region. C.R.S. §30-28- 106(2)(x). The regional master plan includes the regional planning commission's recommendations for development and may include numerous planning concerns and suggestions. C.R.S. §30-28-(3)(a)-(d). A regional master plan must include a plan for the extraction of minerals. C.R.S. §30-28-106(3)(c). Fundin g• The expenses of a regional planning commission are to be borne proportionally by each respective participating local government. Maintenance of such a commission is determined by agreement of the cooperating parties, and each has authority to appropriate funds for this purpose. C.R.S. §30-28-105(4). Regional planning commissions are empowered to receive and expend all grants, gifts, and bequests from the state and federal sources. C.R.S. §30-28-105(6). Limits. Regional planning commissions may only plan for areas within the region encompassed by the local governments participating in the commission. C.R.S. §30-28-106 (2)(a). Furthermore, any plan adopted by a regional planning commission will not be deemed an official advisory plan of any municipality or county unless adopted by the planning commission of that municipality or county. C.R.S. §30-28-106(2)(b). Miscellaneous. Unlike other county or district planning commissions, a regional planning commission is a "body politic and corporate," and may sue and be sued for its actions and on its contracts. C.R.S. §30-28-105('n. Individual members of the commission shall not be liable for actions or undertakings of the commission. Id. Any development in a region where a master plan has been adopted is subject to review and approval by the regional planning commission. C.R.S. §30-28-110. -3- i RECREATION t R~.,..ation Facilities Districts. Creation. Any city or county is authorized to "acquire, sell, own, exchange, and operate public recreation facilities, open space and parklands, playgrounds, and television relay and translator facilities; acquire, equip, and maintain land, buildings, or other recreational facilities either within or without the corporate limits of such city, town, village, or county C.R.S. §29-7-101(1). A city or county so authorized may "unite with any other similarly authorized political subdivision in owning or operating any recreational facility." C.R.S.§29-7-108. Pursuant to this authority, local governments are authorized to operate a recreational facility independently, cooperate in any manner which is mutually agreed upon by the participating parties, or delegate operation to a recreation board created by any or all participating bodies. C.R.S. §29-7-103. Function. The function of a Recreation Facilities District is to allow local governments to acquire, own, or operate public recreation facilities, open space and parklands, playgrounds and other related facilities. C.R.S. §29-7-10i(1). This section applies primarily to particular recreational facilities or sites, and not to entire "recreational districts." Funding. Local governments are generally authorized to expend funds "for all purposes" connected with recreational facilities. C.R.S. §29-7-101(1). Operation and admission fees are also authorized. C.R.S. §29-7-103. Any municipal corporation or board given charge of the recreation system has authority to accept gifts and bequests for the benefit of recreational services and also to exercise eminent domain. C.R.S. §29-7-104. Limits. A recreational facility is limited by definition to mean "such land or interest in land as may be necessary, suitable, or proper for park or recreational purposes or for the preservation or conservation of sites, scenes, open space, and vistas of scientific, historic, ~ aesthetic, or other public interest." C.R.S. §29-7-107. This broad definition provides significant discretion as to what constitutes a "recreation facility." -4- i J County Re..~r.dtion Districts. Creation. Whenever a county has acquired property for recreational purposes, (e. e., "recreational facilities" as authorized in C.R.S. §29-7-101 to 29-7-104), the board of county commissioners may establish and set the boundaries for a County Recreation District. C.R.S. §30-20-702(1). If a county planning commission exists, the planning commission has the duty to formulate a tentative plan for the district if the board of county commissioners [ so requests. Id. Function. A County Recreational District's primary purpose is to provide for long term recreation planning and management for the benefit of county residents. The board of county commissioners may choose to appoint aboard of county residents to administer the district. C.R.S. §30-20-703(1)(b). Funding. The board of county commissioners has the authority to levy a tax on all real and personal property situated within the district, not to exceed one mill, for the purposes of operating, maintaining, and expanding the County Recreation District, when the District boundaries are less than the entire County. C.R.S. §30-20-703(1)(a). Voter approval of the mill levy does not appear to be required. If the recreation district encompasses the entire county, the board may appropriate from the general fund, but may not enact a special levy. Id. The board of county commissioners may provide for the creation of a reserve fund for maintaining and improving the County Recreation District. C.R.S. §30-20-703(1)(d). All operations of the recreation district must be conducted in accordance with the local government budget law, in the same manner that budgets are submitted by other county departments. C.R.S. §30-20-704. Limits. Although a County Recreation District is set up to be run by the county, cooperative agreements between the county and local governments are not precluded. The statute specifically states that " no part ...shall repeal or affect any other act or part thereof, it being intended that this part 7 shall provide a separate method of accomplishing its objectives, and not an exclusive one." C.R.S. §30-20-705. Thus intergovernmental cooperation should be an acceptable method of achieving the statute's recreational goals. Miscellaneous. Nothing in the statutes expressly states that a County Recreation District may not overlap the territory of a special Metropolitan Park and Recreation District, created under C.R.S. §32-1-1005. A Metropolitan Park and Recreation District may exist wholly or partly within another special district, so long as overlapping services are not provided. C.R.S. §32- 1-107. The legislative motive for this was to prevent inefficient governmental efforts (overlapping services) and to prevent a double tax on residents for the same service. See, C.R.S. §32-1-102. -5- L l ~ This int.,~Y~etation finds additional support in the statutory section that expressly authorizes counties and special districts to unite and jointly own or operate recreational facilities.. C.R.S. §29-7-108. This section suggests that the Colorado Legislature contemplated cooperative efforts relating to recreation districts of diff;,,~.„t types. In the event that a County Recreation District encompasses some or all of the territory of a special Metropolitan Park and Recreation District, tax levy conflicts should not arise. Even if a levy has been imposed for a County Recreation District, the fact that the two ,districts serve distinct purposes undermines a claim that a double tax for overlapping services is imposed. An analogous situation exists when the same property owner is assessed two different tax levies for divergent services such as sewer and trash removal. Both services are similar, but not overlapping. Open Space. Creation. Local governments can obtain open space lands through several vehicles. Counties and local governments may hold an "interest in land" for the purpose of open space, individually or jointly, as a "recreation facility" under C.R.S. 29-7-107 (discussed above). The term "interest in land" as used in the statute "means and includes all rights and interests in land less than the full fee interest including., but not limited to .future interests, easements, covenants, and contractual rights." C.R.S. §29-7-107. A county may additionally establish a County Recreation District for open space lands. C.R.S. §30-20-702. Under the Park and Open Space Act of 1984, C.R.S. §29-7.5-lOl,g~ esp., owners of land subject to utility transmission rights-of--way in urban areas may dedicate or grant use of the right-of--way to a "park board." C.R.S. §29-7.5-104. "Urban areas," as used in this statute, include land located within any incorporated municipality or unincorporated land of the county which has been zoned residential and for which a final plat for subdivision has been approved. C.R.S. §29-7.5-103(5). A "park board" is the .governing body of any local governmental entity, including a board of county commissioners, authorized by state law to accept land for park, trail, or open space purposes. C.R.S. §29-7.5-103. State law authorizes any "city, town, village, county, metropolitan recreational district, or park and recreation district organized under article 1 of title 32, C.R.S...." to accept land for park, trail, or open space purposes. Local governments are authorized to obtain "conservation easements" for the purpose of restricting the fee owner's use of land to open space. C.R.S. §38-30.5-102. A conservation easement "may only be created by the record owners of the surface of the land by a deed or other instrument of conveyance specifically stating the intention of the grantor to create such an easement under this article.." C.R.S. §38-30.5-104(1). -6- t r Function. A county, municipality, or park board, as defined above, is entitled to hold and maintain land in an undeveloped state as open space for the benefit of the public. C.R.S. §29-7.5-101; C.R.S.§29-7-102. i Aboard of county commissioners may adopt, by resolution, rules and regulations to control public recreational lands and facilities owned or operated by the county. C.R.S. I §29-7-101(2). Aboard of county commissioners may also, acting on behalf of a recreation district, levy taxes, establish a residential board to administer the district, provide for personnel to operate and manage the district, and provide for a reserve fund adequate to meet the obligations of the district for operation, maintenance and enhancement. C.R.S. §30-20-703. In urban areas, ~ park boards are authorized to accept or reject aright-of--way dedication or grant of use based upon the reasonable needs of the public, applicable rules and regulations governing the park board, and safety of the transmission nght-of--way area. C.R.S. §29.7.5-I04. Both the owner of the right-of--way and the fee owner of the land must consent to the dedication or grant of use. Id. A conservation easement in gross serves as ales-than-fee property interest restricting a landowner's use of land. The landowner retains all residual interest in the land that is not granted by the easement. C.R.S. §38-30.5-105. The advantage of such an easement is that local governments may enjoy the benefits of open space, and yet pay less than full value for the land. A conservation easement is perpetual, unless otherwise stated in the instrument of creation and such an instrument may specify the particular characteristics of the easement. C.R.S. §38-30.5-104. Funding. Funding for open space, recreational facilities, and recreational districts is discussed in previous sections. Funding of conservation easements is not specified in the statute. I Possibilities include private donations of easements (which may qualify as tax exempt donations), funding through a county reserve fund (C.R.S. §30-20-703(d)), and private cash gifts, donations, or endowments to local governments. C.R.S. §29-7-104. I Limits. Colorado statute limits the combined total sales tax or total use tax imposed by local and state governments seven percent. C.R.S. §29-2-108(1). There are relevant exceptions in the event that the combined state and municipal sales or use tax has already reached seven percent. Id. There are a limited number of purposes which are exempted from this tax cap. These exemptions include: 1) sales tax for mass transit (C.R.S. §29-2-103.5), 2) lodging tax for the advertising and marketing of local tourism (C.R.S. §30-11-107.5), 3) district sales tax for public improvements in counties with more than 100,000 residents (C.R.S. §30-20- 604.5), 4) county rental tax on the rental of personal property (C.R.S. §30-11-107.7), and 5) the Colorado Tourism Promotion Fund Tax on tourism services (C.R.S. §39-26.1-lOl,et The Colorado Legislature has not provided any other exemptions from the seven- ( percent tax cap. -7- i i- The state legislature could be petitioned to exempt sales tax dedicated to open space land acquisition from the sales tax cap in the same manner that sales tax for mass transit was exempted. 1 TRANSPORTATION County or In6:,.~,oyernmcmtal ,Agency. Creation. The general powers of a county include the power to "develop, maintain, and operate mass transportation systems either individually or iointly with any government or political subdivision." C.R.S. § 30-11-101(1)(f). Similar authority exists for municipalities. Function. There are two main options for operating amass transit system under this authority. First, the mass transit system may be administered by a governmental agency, but operated using a private contractor. Second, the system may be administered and operated "in house" by a participating governmental agency. Under the authority cited above, the County may contract with other political subdivisions to provide service and receive revenues pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement with the Towns of Vail and Avon. A specific example of an intergovernmental operating system is the Roaring Fork Transit Authority (BETA). The Town of Aspen and Pitkin County created this authority by Intergovernmental Agreement. Pitkin County continues to provide many administrative services for the agency. A similar model might solve management and control problems in Eagle County. I Funding. Under either of the two arrangements discussed above, the funding process would I be essentially the same. All spending agencies of a county must be funded through appropriations by the board of county commissioners from the general county fund. C.R.S. §30-11-107(2)(a). The system would be funded pursuant to the intergovernmental agreement. One revenue source might be a special transportation sales tax authorized by statute. C.R.S. §29-2-103.5. This special tax must be submitted to the registered voters of the county for approval. C.R.S. §29-2-103.5(3)(a). Such a tax may not exceed one-half of one percent, but is exempt from the seven percent total sales tax limitation on counties. C.R.S. §29-2-108(4). -8- J I~ When using revenues generated by this special sales tax, a county must issue a request for proposals from potential private contractors, and analyze the costs of a private carver versus the costs for an in-house system. C.R.S. §29-2-103.5(2)(c). If the costs are less for a private carrier, a county must contract with a private carrier, and may not commence an in-house operation. C.R.S.§29-2-103.5(2)(d). Under the RFTA model, Pitkin County issued debt for the agency's use to be paid by a one percent county sales tax dedicated to transportation. Initially, the RFTA was funded through contributions by the Town of Aspen, Pitkin County, and the local ski corporation. Now the RFTA is funded through the sales tax. A similar approach might solve funding problems in Eagle County. Fees, fares, and property taxes may also be used to fund mass transit. Finally, I UMPTA grants may be available from the Federal and State Department of Transportation. New Authority by Creation of a District. Regional Service Authority. Creation. Regional Service Authorities may be created pursuant to authority granted by Article XIV, § 17 of the Colorado Constitution. A Regional Service Authority must include the entire territory of at least two counties. C.R.S. §32-7-101-104. A service authority is initiated by a petition signed by five percent of the registered voters in the service area or by a resolution adopted by the majority of the counties and municipalities having temtory i within the proposed district. C.R.S. §32-7-105(1). i A Regional Service Authority is run by a board of directors of five members to be elected by the qualified electors of the proposed district. C.R.S. §32-7-110. Function. The State Legislature has designated numerous services that may be provided by a Regional Service Authority. These services include: 1) domestic water treatment and distribution, 2) flood control, 3) sewage collection, treatment and disposal, 4) solid waste collection and disposal, 5) parks and recreation, 6) libraries, 7) fire protection, 8) hospitals, 9) housing, 10) weed and pest control, 11) cultural facilities, 12) local government management services, 13) public utilities, 14) jails, 15) land and soil conservation, and finally 16) ground transportation. C.R.S. §32-7-111. The Regional Service Authority may provide revenue, manage the district, acquire property, and perform other duties as required. C.R.S. §32-7-113. Additionally, the board may create a local improvement district within the service authority to facilitate the financing, construction, or improvement of facilities within a portion or portions of the service district. C.R.S. §32-7- 134. -9- i f Any municipality may plan and operate a public transportation system, and any county or municipality may contract with a service authority for the planning or operation of such a system. A service authority may also exercise any additional powers that are granted to the Regional Transportation District under C.R.S. §32-9-101, ~ ~ , and contract with counties and municipalities for transportation services. C.R.S. §32-7-140. Funding. Funding of a Regional Service Authority is limited to property taxes, revenue bonds, contributions from government or private grants, and fees for service. C.R.S. §32-7-11? to 132. Each county participating in the service authority may be able to submit a special transportation sales tax to the district voters that would be exempt from the seven percent limitation. C.R.S. §29-2-103.5. The limitation on mill levies applies to Regional Service Authorities, but a mill levy increase can be achieved through general election in the service area. C.R.S. §32-7-118(1). A special taxing district may be formed within the service authority to facilitate the furnishing of services and collection of property taxes and service charges. C.R.S. §32-7- 132 to 133. Any decision to incur debt on behalf of the service authority must be submitted to the registered voters of the service authority. Bonds issued for local improvement districts under C.R.S. §32-7-135 are not considered debt under this section. C.R.S. §32-7-122. I.amits. The law currently requires two entire counties to be included in a service authority. C.R.S. §32-7-131(1). Either Lake or Pitkin County are logical choices to join Eagle. If Pitkin were selected, Garfield could also logically be included. Eagle County may be able to draw on RFTA's resources in system operations for the Roaring Fork Valley. The enabling legislation might be amended to allow the creation of a Regional Service Authority which includes parts of one or more counties. Once a service authority is established in a given area, no new special district may be established within the same territory if the purpose of the special district is substantially the same as the service authority. C.R.S. §32-7-137. M:;...~.,yahtan Distracts. Creatlon. A "Metropolitan District" is a type of special district that can provide transportation services. The particular purposes of a metropolitan district must be specified in a "service plan," to be approved by voter election in the district. C.R.S. §32-1-802(1). -10- t Function. A Metropolitan District must provide two or more distinct services from the following list: fire protection, mosquito control, parks and recreation, safety protection, i sanitation, street improvement, television relay and translation, water, and transportation. l C.R.S. 32-1-103(10}. A special Metropolitan District for transportation would have to be coupled with one or more services from this list. A M~u~.,~.olitan District is free to enter into cooperative agreements with other local governmental subdivisions. C.R.S. §32-1- 1004(5). Under this scheme, transportation could be combined with parks and recreation into a single district. A Metropolitan District may only provide transportation services in the county or counties which are within the boundaries of the district. C.R.S. §32-1-1004(5). A Metropolitan District may be formed within an existing special district which provides or is authorized to provide transportation, so long as the improvements or services are not overlapping. C.R.S. §32-1-1004(6)(b). This would allow a "mass transit" district to overlap a "street" district. Funding. Boards of special districts are authorized to generate funding for the district through property taxes (C.R.S. §32-1-1201), grants (C.R.S. §32-1-1001(1).(1)), and through fees for service (C.R.S. §32-1-1001(1)(k)). The special district board ma create eneral obli ation indebtedness u to one and Y g g P one-half percent of the valuation for assessment of the taxable property in the special district. Voter approval is required for any debt that exceeds the one and one-half percent limit. C.R.S. §32-1-1101(2). Any increased property tax levy for the special district must also be submitted for voter approval. C.R.S. §29-1-302(1). Limits. The major limitation of the metropolitan district is the requirement that a second, non-overlapping, service is provided. C.R.S. §32-1-103(10). Additionally, a metropolitan district may not operate a transportation system in a city or county where the city, county, or any other political entity has entered into an intergovernmental cooperative contract to provide transportation services. C.R.S. §32-1-1004(5}. No special district can be formed if its boundaries are wholly contained within the boundaries of a municipality or municipalities, except upon the adoption of a resolution of approval by the governing body of each municipality. C.R.S. §32-1-204.5(1). Sr;,.,:al Statutory Districts. t Creation. New authority for a transportation district could be created through special legislation by the Colorado State Legislature. ,E~. . C.R.S. §32-9-106. Benefits of this organization would be acustom-designed district to meet the needs of our system. ~ -11- i ~4 Two main approaches may be taken. First, other resort areas, with needs similar to ours, might be interested in jointly approaching the legislature to create more generic authority to operate transportation systems. This authority could include the ability to fund ` the district with sates tax as well as property tax, and allow only portions of entire counties ( to be included within the district. Second, the State Legislature could create a specific service district to specific specifications. This is how Metropolitan Denver's Regional Transportation District was created. This method, while initially giving us a tailor-made district, might require further legislative action as adjustments become necessary. Function. Certain statutory requirements apply to regional transportation districts. The special legislation for such a district outlines the district area and also provides specific authority to the board of directors for carrying out the district's needs. Funding. The Metropolitan Denver's Regional Transportation District is authorized to levy a uniform district sales tax not to exceed six-tenths of one percent to be approved by a district voter election. C.R.S. §32-9-119(2)(a). The district may also levy a variable sales tax, depending upon the level of service provided m different areas of the distnct, not to exceed one percent. C.R.S. §32-9-119(2)(b). The district is authonzed to pursue pnvate financing, collect service fees, issue revenue bonds, and impose property taxes on commercial entities within the transportation corridor. C.R.S. §32-9-119 to 120. No general property taxes may be levied, directly or indirectly, except for the payment of any annual operation and maintenance deficit. Such a levy must not exceed one-half mill on each dollar of valuation for each assessment year. C.R.S.§32-9-120. BUSINESS AND MARx~ t u1G CO~rr.~ATION Business I ~ , ~ ~ ~ cement Districts, Creation. Within a municipality, a business improvement district may be created to fund business development and marketing. C.R.S. §31-25-1201 ~ se~,c.. Business improvement districts are initiated by a petition signed by persons who own real or personal property amounting to 50 percent or more of the total assessed property value for the district. C.R.S.§31-25-1205. ( Function. f The Business District's powers include authority for planning, construction and maintenance of improvements, business promotion, security, and design assistance. -12- 4 I Funding. Property tax levies are authorized if the initial petition specifies the amount of such a tax. If the petition does not specify a tax levy, an election must be held in the district to authorize the tax. C.R.S. §31-25-1215. Limits. No similar authority exists for creating a Business Im~,~., cement District within the unincorporated areas of the County. County and Municipality D~+el~pmer~t Rrvv~,nue Bond Act, Creation. The "County and Municipality Development Revenue Bond Act" allows local governments to: finance, acquire, own, lease, improve, and dispose of properties to the end that such counties and municipalities may be able to promote industry and develop trade or other economic activity by inducing profit or nonprofit corporations, federal governmental offices, hospitals, and agricultural, manufacturing, industrial, commercial, or business ento~~,~~ses to locate, expand or remain in this state. C.R.S. §29-3-102(1). Function. Local governments may chose to execute the provisions of this act individually or, alternatively, any county or municipality may delegate, by resolution or by ordinance, authority to any other county or municipality to act on its behalf in the financing, 1 refinancing, acquisition, leasing, ownership, improvement, and disposal of projects. C.R.S. §29-3-104(2). Thus, intergovernmental cooperation is possible if concerns over the repayment of the obligation can be adequately addressed. Funding. This Act authorizes financing through special, limited obligation bonds to achieve the goals of encouraging economic activity. C.R.S. §29-3-105(1). The total dollar amount of tax-exempt private activity bonds that the county may issue is allocated from a statewide ceiling on these bonds. C.R.S. §24-32-1706. Bonds issued under this Act are payable only out of project revenues, and do not create "debt" for the city or county. Allardice v. Adams County, 476 P.2d 982 (Colo. 1970). No tax levies are authorized for financing acquisition of properties for manufacturing or industrial enterprises. Limits. Significant limits are imposed by the Internal Revenue Service for tax exempt status. The local government must apply for part of the allocation made to the state. -13- i I 1 Business Tax Incentives. Creation. A county is authorized to negotiate a tax incentive with any taxpayer who establishes anew business facility in the city or county. C.R.S. §30-11-123(1). A county may also negotiate for an incentive payment with any taxpayer who expands a facility in such a way that the expansion constitutes anew facility. Function. The purpose of the business tax incentive is to promote new businesses and to initiate expansion of existing businesses in the city or county. Limits.

A county, municipality, or a group of local governments may propose an area as an "enterprise zone" for the purposes of encouraging economic activity. C.R.S. §39-30-103. A proposed enterprise zone must have a population of 50,000 or less, and qualify under at least one of several listed economic distress criteria. Imo. The Town of Gypsum and certain areas adjacent to the Eagle County Regional Airport are within an enterprise zone. Function. Enterprise zones provide significant incentives for businesses including triple investment tax credit exemption from state income tax. New businesses can earn tax credits and refunds up to $500 per employee. Companies purchasing machinery and equipment for use in enterprise zones may be exempt from sales tax or use tax on such purchases. A new business facility owner may also negotiate for a property tax refund equal to the amount of any increase in property taxes resulting from the improvement. Businesses that qualify under this Act are free to negotiate with a city or county to have that city or county refund the incremental increase in sales tax due to the increased valuation of the businesses property. C.R.S. §39-30-107.5(1). A qualified business may also negotiate for a refund of sales tax levied by the city or county on purchases of equipment, machinery, machine tools, or supplies used in the taxpayer's business in the ent.,~r~:se zone. .

The local impact of this tax incentive scheme is potentially quite low since most of the tax benefits come from state sources. Any initial refund of local sales or property tax revenues should be offset with the corresponding long term gains provided by the new facility. Limits. At the present time, all twelve ent;,~r~~se zones authorized by statute exist. The legislature would have to be petitioned to authorize any additional enterprise zones. See, "Economic Development Incentives for Colorado Municipalities," Paul D. Godec, 19 Colo. Law 239 (1990). Downtown Development Authorities. Creation.
