Update: Performance and Conference Center. Ron Phillips Action Reauested of Council: Approve contracts and act on other budget items. Backaround Rationale: Council allocated $100,000 for design and other work on this project. With the design team and contractor's contracts presented today, we will have committed approximately $65,000 of that amount so far. Other needs have arisen and Council needs to discuss how best to fill those needs, i.e. owner's representative and marketing/fund raising. 2:50 P.M. 5. Review: Town of Vail Snow Removal Plan. Larry Grafel Action Requested of Council: Discussion will include snow removal areas, who accomplishes, priorities, and impact of snow removal ordinance. Approve/deny/modify plan. Backaround Rationale: Public Work's staff has completed a snow removal map of the Village and Lionshead which defines sidewalks/paths/stairs that are TOV's responsibility and those that are the responsibility of private businesses. The public/private areas were determined using the guidance of the sidewalk snow removal ordinance. The ordinance states that the adjacent property owner is responsible for any walks/stairs bordering their establishment. PW staff's intent is to utilize the ordinance to bring 1 i about consistency within the Village and Lionshead areas and to define responsibilities. Staff Recommendation: Approve Public Work's staff recommenda- tion for snow removal. 3:20 P.M. 6. Information Update. 7. Council Reports. 8. Other. 9.

RECEtv~b o~~ ~ 21992 alpine international October 21, 1992 Ms. Peggy Osterfoss-Davis, Mayor 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Peggy: I am grateful to the Town Council for having given me the opportunity to serve the Town as a member of the Design Review Board since September of 1990. The experience has given me great respect for the Town's planning staff and for my colleagues on the Board. In these two years, I have developed a strong conviction that the Board makes an essential contribution to the physical quality of our town. I also feel that it has been extremely helpful to have someone on the Board with a landscape and site development perspective to assure a balanced and comprehensive evaluation of proposals. So, it is with some regret that I now submit my resignation in order to fulfill without conflict my contractual obligations as a member of several design teams doing public work. 1 look forward to other occasions to be of service.

This is the first formal annual report we've published, although much of the information makes its way into the press and industry hands in - various forms throughout the year. Because the Colorado Tourism Board is a state agency and not a for profit corporation, we've had to modify the standard balance sheet and profit and loss statements presented in most annual reports. We stressed instead the importance of tourism to Colorado's economy, the CTB's use of research, program effectiveness and efficient use of resources and staff size. This fiscal year, the Colorado Tourism Board celebrates its 10th anniversary - - an incredible milestone and a fitting opportunity to review the history and purpose of the Board and to share some of the achievements accomplished last year. Primary distribution for the ten thousand copies of the annual report is about five thousand, including the Colorado Tourism Board of Directors, the Colorado General Assembly, the Tourism Board Advisory Council and Regional Boards of Directors, tourism industry leaders and the general tourism industry. The additional quantity allows us to provide extra copies to those who wish to share this report with constituents, colleagues or other interested parties.

In 1990, movement to the uniform levy was acceierated. Districts were required to increase or decrease their levies _ by the greatest of the following: (1) four mills, (2) one-third of the difference between the district's 1989 levy and the 1990 uniform levy, or (3) the mill levy that represents a 5.5 percent increase/decrease in property taxes. In 1991, districts phasing up to the uniform miilage were required to increase their levies by four mills or by one-half the difference between 1990's levy and the uniform rate, whicheverwas greater. The phase-down provisions were eliminated. The only mill levy phase-in provision remaining in TFY 1992 is a four-mill limitation on increases in levies for hold harmless districts and districts that are offsetting state categorical support with property taxes. Additional Local Revenue Any district that wishes to expend revenues in excess of those authorized by the state funding formula may, upon approval of the electorate at a general election, raise its program funding level by an amount not to exceed 7.5 percent of total program cost. The amount of additional funding authorized at an election is generated solely from the property tax and remains constant until additional funding is approved at a subsequent election.

Where possible, the antidegradation review should be coordinated or consolidated with the review processes of other agencies concerning a proposed activity in an effort to minimize costs and delays for such activities. (b) Division and Commission Roles For regulated activities, the significance determination set forth in subsection 3.1.8(3)(c) and the determination whether degradation is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located, pursuant to subsection 3.1.8(3)(d), shall be made by the Division, subject to a ~e novo review by the Commission in an adjudicatory _ hearing, on the Commission's own motion, pursuant to a petition by any interested person who has -.'submitted written comments during the Division review process, or. on the Commissions .determination pursuant to section 24-4-105(2), C.R.S. 8 . 1 F. (c) Sicxnificance Determination The initial step in an antidegradation review shall be a determination whether the activity in question is likely to result in significant degradation of reviewable waters, with respect to adopted narrative or numeric standards. This significance determination shall be made with respect to the net effect of the new or increased water quality impacts of the proposed activity, taking into account any environmental benefits resulting from the activity and any water quality-enhancing mitigation measures impacting the segment or segments under review, if such measures are incorporated with the proposed activity. The activity shall be considered not to result in significant degradation, as measured in the . reviewable waters segment, if: (i ) The <~~`'`~>~>~i ~ ~ ~ ~ due wa3-~e of a new or increased'`'"'discharge`"~~°und~er review is small enough that it will be diluted by 100 to 1 or more at low flow, as defined in section 3.1.9, by water in the stream; or (ii) The new or increased loading from the source under review is less than 10 percent of the existing total load to that segment for critical constituents (e.q. those for which there are stream standards set and which are present in the discharge); provided, that the cumulative impact of increased loadings from all sources shall not exceed 10 percent of the baseline total load established for the segment (the baseline total load shall'be determined at the time of the first proposed new or increased water quality impacts to the reviewable waters.); or (iii) The new or increased loading from the source under review will consume, after mixing, less than 15 percent of the available increment between low flow pollutant concentrations and the relevant standards, for critical constituents; or ,(~iv) The activity will result in only temporary or short term changes in water quality. .V ~e~: z - a. - : rea~s~eflc --~yra ~rAte~t- ~~e-}~eseA'= 9 ~~3~:?, t ae•~3-: i=y ~a3-rye--~T=i~e~ ~e~C::~~ :.1~A~}~.~.`.aR~ ~:.~i'=_'.='~36i9 3~-~_`_8 'L:c' =P 3~@a8(.'= :t -a~3. j ~~C~= 9~-~~i= ~ff~' _ 3:'~ f ,:1~ $:ra~e~:ez- ~c `_~.ve-air ~dvc= =m~aet it-~r -al}_y. (d) Necessity of Decradation Determination If a determination has been made in accordance with subsection 3.1.8(3)(c) that a proposed activity is likely to result in significant degradation of reviewable waters, a determination shall be made pursuant to this subsection whether the degradation is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located. The following provisions shall apply to this determination: (i) The "area in which the waters are located" . shall be determined from the facts on a case-by-case basis. The area shall include all areas directly impacted by the proposed activity. (ii) A determination shall be made from the facts on a case-by-case basis whether the proposed activity is important economic or social development. If the activity proponent submits evidence that the activity is important development, it shall be presumed important unless information to the contrary is submitted in the public review process. The determination shall take into account information received during the public comment period and shall give substantial weight to any applicable determinations by local governments or land use planning authorities. (iii) If the proposed activity is determined to be important economic or social development, a . determination shall be made whether the degradation that would result from such activity is necessary to accommodate that development. The degradation shall be _ considered necessary if there are no water quality control alternatives available that (A) would result in no degradation or less degradation of the State waters and (B) are determined to be economically, environmentally, and technologically reasonable. 10 This determination shall be based on an assessment of whether such alternatives are available, based upon a reasonable level of analysis by the project proponent, consistent with accepted engineering practice, and any information submitted by the public or which is otherwise available. The assessment shall address practical water quality control technologies, the feasibility and availability of which has been demonstrated under field conditions similar to those of the activity under review. The scope of alternatives considered shall be limited to those that would acc.,.~rlish the proposed activity's purpose. Any alternatives that would be inconsistent with section 25-8-104 of the Water Quality Control Act shall not be considered available alternatives. In determining the economic reasonableness of any less-degrading water quality control alternatives, the Division may take into consideration any relevant factors, including but not limited to the following, if applicable: (A) Whether the costs of the alternative significantly exceed the costs of the . proposal; (B) For publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) or public water supply projects, whether user charges resulting from the alternative would significantly _exceed user charges for similarly situated POTWs or public water supply projects; (C) For private industry, whether the alternative would have a significant adverse effect upon the project's profitability or competitive position (if the project proponent chooses to provide such information); (D) For any dischargers, whether treatment costs resulting from the alternative would significantly exceed treatment costs for any similar existing dischargers on the segment in question. 11 (E) The relative, long-term, energy costs and commitments and availability of energy conservation alternatives. (e) gc Part~,nat~ a~}d Intercrove~}mental Coordination Procedural provisions relating to public participation and intergovernmental coordination and antidegradation reviews are set forth in the Procedural Rules, section 2.1.16 (5 CCR 1002-1). 12 I 3.1.25 STATEMENT OF BASIS, SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY, AND PURPOSE: JANUARY. 1993 HEARING ON WATER QUALITY DESIGNATION PROVISIONS: The provisions of 25-8-202(1)(a), (b) and (2); 25-8-203; 25-8-204; 25-8-209 and 25-8-402 C.R.S. provide the specific statutory authority for adoption of these regulatory amendments. The Commission also adopted, in compliance with 24-4-103(4), C.R.S. , the following statement of basis and purpose. Basis and Purpose: A. Overview House Bill 92-1200 was adopted by the 1992 Colorado Legislature. This act establishes a new section 25-8-209 in the Colorado Water Quality Control Act, concerning water quality designations. The purpose of this rulemaking hearing is to conform the Commission's regulatory provisions regarding water quality designations with these new statutory provisions. _ The Basic Standards regulation previously provided for three water quality designations that could be applied to state surface waters in appropriate circumstances: high quality 1, high quality 2, and use-protected. H.B. 92-1200 does not require that any changes be made to the existing use-protected criteria. Because these provisions of the regulation were reviewed and revised in October, 1991, and since no new information suggests a need for further revisions at this time, the use-protected provisions have been left unchanged, except as necessary to conform with other revisions being adopted. B. Deletion of Hiah Quality 2 Designation In accordance with new section 25-8-209 of the Act, section 3.1.8 of the Basic Standards regulation has been revised to delete the high quality 2 waters designation. This revision does not change which waters will be subject to antidegradation review. Barring new information indicating that a use-protected or outstanding waters designation is appropriate, all waters previously designated high quality 2 will be undesignated but still subject to antidegradation review once these revisions are fully implemented in the basin-specific hearings. The Commission is hopeful that the deletion of the high quality 2 designation will eliminate the risk that other agencies might misunderstand.arid misapply the high quality 2 designation. This designation was intended to denote waters for which an antidegradation review is required prior to approval of activities with new or increased water quality impacts. Concern was expressed by a number of entities that this label was likely to be used by other agencies for purposes broader than requiring antidegradation reviews, and in a manner that may unduly restrict beneficial economic activities. The Commission believes that the revisions being adopted to conform with the provisions of H.B. 92-1200 will still result in protection of the quality of Colorado's water resources in a manner fully consistent with the state and federal acts, while eliminating this risk of misuse of the high quality 2 designation. C. Outstanding Water Criteria Section 25-8-209 essentially changes the label for those waters for which no degradation is allowed from "high quality 1" waters to "outstanding waters". To date, the Commission has designated only seven specific surface water segments high quality 1. each of these segments automatically become outstanding waters, pursuant to section 25-8-209(3)(b). The Commission is also directe3 to promulgate criteria governing these designations. In addition, this section now sets forth certain determinations that must be made by the Commission before an outstanding waters designation is applied to specific waters. The provisions adopted by the Commission with respect to each of these determinations are addressed below. In addition to the criteria for the three determinations, the Commission has adopted a proviso that no outstanding waters designationshall be adopted for specific waters if the Commission determines that such designation would be inconsistent with the provisions of section 25-8-102 or 25-8-1U4, C.R.S. This proviso is consistent with the requirements of new section 25-8-209(2). The application of an outstanding waters designation is a powerful tool. It can help assure protection of some of our state's outstanding natural resources, the preservation of which will be beneficial to Colorado's future environmental and economic health. At the same time, the restrictions associated with this designation are extreme, and it is essential that it be applied with discretion so as to not unduly restrict future development in Colorado. Application of this proviso will require case-by-case judgment, balancing considerations such as these listed above. The Commission does not believe that it is possible to enumerate in advance all of the circumstances where this language may be applicable. By way of example, the Commission believes that in most circumstances application of an outstanding waters designation to waters downstream of waters without such a designation is likely to be inappropriate. Generally, it will be unrealistic to assure that there be absolutely no degradation downstream from an area in which development is allowed to occur. Thus, it may be inappropriate~to~apply this designation to downstream wilderness areas, even if the other tests set forth in the regulation are met. 2 1. Quality Test The new statutory language provides that the Commission must determine that the quality of any waters designated "outstanding waters" is better than "fishable, swimmable", based upon indicator parameters identified by the Commission. The Commission has selected 12 indicator parameters for this test. This list of parameters is the same as used in the previous high quality 2 water quality test, except that iron and mercury have been deleted and un-ionized ammonia and nitrate have been added. Based on the professional judgment of the Water Quality Control Division staff, iron has not been as good an indicator of water quality as other metals, due to questions regarding its toxicity to aquatic life. Mercury has been deleted because questions regarding appropriate detection limits have unduly complicated its use as an indicator parameter. Moreover, it is the judgment of the Division and the Commission that the remaining metals parameters provide an adequate indication of water quality with respect to this category of inorganics. Un-ionized ammonia and nitrate have been added based upon recommendations that the types of indicator parameters used be broadened, particularly to include nutrients, and in the case of nitrate to indicate the suitability of the water for domestic water use. The Commission has again considered the issue of whether minimum data requirements for this test ought to be included in the _ regulation. The Commission has chosen as a matter of policy to require that water quality determinations be based on "adequate representative data", without attempting to quantify that requirement. The Commission continues to believe that case-by-case judgment considering all of the available information regarding a particular segment (e.g. upstream and downstream quality, surrounding land use, presence or absence of point sources) must be considered to determine what is adequate data in a particular circumstance. However, the Commission has added a new requirement that there be at least some data for .each of the 12 indicator parameters from samples taken within the segment in question. This does not mean, e.g. that data is required from all tributaries within a segment, but some data from within the segment must be available for all 12 parameters. The one exception provided is where the remote location of a segment makes it impractical to collect and analyze fecal coliform data within the required holding time. 2. Outstanding Natural Resource The second determination to be made by the Commission is that the waters in question constitute an outstanding natural resource. The Commission has established two bases for making this determination. First, this test will be considered to be met whenever waters are a significant attribute of certain categories of federal lands that 3 have been given one of the types of protected status listed. The Commission believes that the presence of these federal designations is evidence that the waters are part of an outstanding natural resource. The inclusion in the regulation of the list of these federally designated lands is not intended to indicate that waters in other areas, such as lands with special state designations, do not warrant the outstanding waters designation. The application of the designation to other areas is addressed in subsection 3.1.8(2)(a)(ii)(B) of the regulation, and discussed in the following paragraph. The second basis established for this determination is where the Commission finds that the waters in question have exceptional recreational or ecological significance, and that they have not been modified by human activities in a manner that ~st:bstantially detracts from their value as a natural resource. The Commission believes that there are outstanding natural resources in Colorado that have not received one of the federal land use designations referenced above. Application of this provision will require case- ~by-case judgment, based upon all of the available facts. F=om a review of the available information, including the approaches taken in other states, the Commission has been unable to come up with a more concrete or specific formulation of this concept. However, the Commission intends that for this test to apply the waters in question should have the same type and degree of attributes that in other circumstances have led to adoption of one of the federal land use categories listed. The language in the last half of the first sentence of subparagraph (B) is intended to assure that the outstanding waters designation is not applied to waters in a area whose natural resources values have already been significantly degraded by human impacts. The Commission believes as a matter of policy that this designation should be reserved for substantially unimpacted areas. The Commission has also added a proviso to subsection (B) to help assure that outstanding waters designations are not applied in a manner inconsistent with section, 25-8-•134. Therefore, for example, waters in reservoirs will be subject to outstanding waters designation only if requested by the owners and operators of the facility, and if it is determined that the restrictions resulting from this designation would not be inconsistent with the valid exercise of established water rights. 3. Additional Protection The third determination required by section 25-8-209 !`or the application of an outstanding waters designation is that protection over and above (1) classifications and standards and (2) antidegradation review is required. The statutory language has not been elaborated in the regulation. The Commission believes that this determination essentially requires a policy 1udgment that 4 protection of the waters in question is important enough to prohibit any degradation. The Commission recognizes that this determination can have major consequences for potential future development in the area in question, due to the "no degradation" restriction associated with the outstanding waters designation. Therefore, this determination should be made only after full consideration of the appropriateness of this result in the area in question. Some have suggested that this provision means that the outstanding waters designation can not be applied to waters that already have some other form of protection, such as wilderness designation-- i.e., that in such circumstances the Commission designation is not "required" to assure protection of the water quality. The Commission disagrees with this interpretation of the statutory language. Such an interpretation would prevent application of the outstanding waters designation to waters that may be among those most deserving of protection, as already indicated by other formal designations. The Commission understands the statutory language to mean that the Commission must determine that the "no degradation" result is required to achieve appropriate protection of the water resources in question. The Commission does not understand this language to require a judgment on its part regarding the adequacy of controls resulting from, e.g., federal land use designations to achieve this goal. Moreover, the Commission believes that the contrary interpretation described above would be directly inconsistent with the fact that the Legislature "grandfathered" all _ _ existing high quality 1 designations--each of which are for waters located in wilderness areas or Rocky Mountain National Park--as outstanding waters designations. Other Issues: The Commission considered whether to include in the regulat~.on further provisions addressing the appropriate implementation of the "no degradation" restriction associated with the outstanding waters designation. The Commission has decided not to do so at this time, in large part because there appears to be no practical need to do so at this time. To date,°the high quality 1/outstanding waters designation has been applied only in areas where there are no activities likely to result in measurable impacts to the waters in question. The Commission does not believe that this situation is likely to change substantially in the near future. At the same time, the Commission notes that even EPA has recognized some flexibility in the application of this highest category of protection.

These units began operation prior to the beginning of the school session this fall at the Minturn Middle School. This data supplements readings collected every third day by Paramount's consultant for this time period, sent to you last week. Please note that an improvement in the Department of Health Laboratory's instrumentation to detect metals in air samples has made it possible to quantify arsenic (As) in amounts one order of magnitude smaller than previously possible. Thus the reading on a given day might have been <0.006 ug/m3 last year, indicating that if arsenic were present, it was less than that amount.. In this report monitoring might register an actual concentration of 0.0058 ug/m3, as compared to being reported as <0.006 ug/m3 in previous results. Please note that this improved detection limit does not imply an increase in measured arsenic levels, but rather reflects a lower detection capability. While the metals ~~concentrations monitored by the State might vary slightly on a given day from Paramount's values, CDH Epidemiology and Air Divisions have confirmed that there is not a significant difference. If you have questions about the air monitoring results, please call me at 692-3396. DP/dp Attachment D COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH . ~o~~; .

Mamet, Associate Director Re: Amendment One, Your Involvement Needed Now Date: October 20, 1992 Introduction The election is two weeks away, and this is the last memorandum you'll be receiving from us regarding Amendment 1. We need elected municipal officials to speak out now on the impacts of Amendment One in their cities and towns. Much work has been done, and we thank you. What follows is more detail on last minute activities we recommend. To Do List For Elected Officials 1. Talk to the media. Secure editorial support. Write a guest commentary or letter to the editor right now. Z. Give speeches now to local community groups like the local Chamber of Commerce, merchants associations, homeowner groups, the Kiwanis and Rotary. 3. Ask your colleagues on the Town Board, City Council, and other elected officials from the county, other municipalities, . special districts, and the school districts to join you in your efforts. Secure the support of key community leaders to join you in local press conferences an Amendment One and its impact to your municipality. 4. Be as specific as you can in detailing such Amendment One impacts. Your constituents will appreciate actual service delivery impacts from the measure, and will utilize the credible data you provide. Avoid the emotion on Amendment One and focus on real impacts, for example in the areas of public financing and economic development. 5. If you haven't written a personal check to the campaign against the measure, would you do so7 It's the No On One Committee, 1631 Glenarm Place, Second Floor, Denver, Colorado 80202, 303-629-9102. You may know of business people in your community who might also be interested in helping the campaign out at this late date. Let them know how to get in touch with the campaign. If you want material (buttons, posters, leaflets), call 629-9102. . 6. Another idea is to approach the Chairs of your local Republican and Democrat party and ask them to co-sign a letter against Amendment One. This is going on in some areas of the state, and it is helping to show the bi-partisan effort against the ballot proposal. 7. Most importantly, talk to your friends, neighbors, and colleagues. It's not only your legal right, it's also your political responsibility. Camnaian Update, The momentum is building in our favor. Over 85 TV and radio spots are airing throughout the state, including cable. Print ads are expected shortly. Over 80 groups are opposing the measure statewide. These organizations represent education, business, economic development, human services, tourism, public safety, and local government. The bottom line is your personal involvement, especially from elected officials. We also take this opportunity to remind you once again about the legal framework of the Campaign Reform Act, which has been discussed extensively by the League already. For further information on this, please consult appropriate legal .counsel for your municipality. The polls are showing that Amendment One can be defeated. Thanks already for your help, and keep it up for the next two weeks. Should the contents of this memorandum raise any questions, please contact Ken Bueche, League Executive Director, or myself. By the way, please fax us any editorials against the measure. Poll shows su ort sli in for tax-limit measure . . / ~p pp g By •~Jelfrey A. Roberts ! ~Ur voCers approve exceptions.

This is a topic that has been widely discussed at a number of public meetings. The • = reason for concern is not without basis. The Vail Recreation,. District expressed safety concerns to me at our first • discussion•regarding the development of this site as a public _ recreational amenity. The site is constrained in a number of respects; most importantly the long, narrow configuration . - which makes the safe passing of golfers a reasonable concern. Clearly stately these concerns to me, I was hired by the Vail. • recreation District to do what I characterize as a "disaster: - check." Simply-stated,~this is a routing or, as was the case- in this instance, a number of routings to determine whether: or not the site is suitable for the proposed use. In - pursuing this issue it became clear that a traditional or ~ traditional or conventional solution was not going to satisfy . the guidelines stated by the Vail Recreation District Board. . • I advised the Board that in order to safely accomplish their goals on this site, the proposed par three golf course would."~:_. be limited to golf holes of a minimum of 70 yards in length to approximately 130 yards as a. maximum distance. The Board.. concluded .t hat they would prefer.to have a course that. was on.~.. the short side that was safe and enjoyable to play than run. - the risk of a longer course which would cause a concern for. the safety of the players and the adjacent property .owners.,., Upon being hired by the Vail Recreation District to create ~ the design development drawings .and subsequently the working , . drawings and specifications for this golf course, I closely. - ` followed the guidelines I was given at the onset and those which I felt would be appropriate to 'create the quality of experience which we all wish to provide with this golf, amenity. The concession, to overall length was made as we had agreed would be .necessary. Some of the golf holes in ~ ~ . - critical areas are as short as 70 yards in length. In the-., most constrained center portion of the :site, the holes have , been ".leap frogged" to avoid the difficult passing conditions:. to which I.referred to previously. - . 8070 E.
