Please review these materials now, take them with you to Washington, and share them with any of your colleagues who may not have preregistered for the Conference. Monday Briefing Session A briefing session for Colorado municipal officials will be held Monday afternoon, March 8, at 5:00 p.m. in the Hemisphere Room of the Washington Hilton Hotel. Coffee and soft drinks will be provided, and we anticipate adjournment by 6:00 p.m. This session will afford an opportunity for Colorado municipal officials to discuss priority issues and to finalize arrangements for the Tuesday meetings which CML has scheduled with Colorado's Senators and Representatives. Tuesday March 9 Meptinas with C~I~rado Congressional Delegation CML has arranged meetings at the following times and locations. All Colorado municipal officials are welcome to attend. However, it is particularly important that municipal officials attend the meeting which CML has arranged with your Representative. We encourage you to attend the CML scheduled meetings rather than arranging separate meetings unless you have issues relating just to your municipality which you need to discuss. . • Rep.

I~entifvino Imoact~ of Federal Leoislation on Your Municiaality Municipal officials are encouraged to have their staffs research the specific impact of proposed legislation on their community and to bring that information to Washington to share with Congress. If specific information is not available in time for the Washington meetings, you might follow up later with letters which describes specific impacts on your community. The following are examples of research and information which could be useful in meetings with members of Congress: Identify housing and community development projects that are planned or underway, the direct role that the CDBG program plays in their funding, and the impact which the President's proposed increase in CDBG funds would have on proposed projects. Identify local and regional transportation needs and what projects might be funded or accelerated if the President's proposed increase in ISTEA appropriations is approved by Congress. ~ Determine costs to your municipality of federal potable water and wastewater requirements. ~ Identify costs by program that recent federal mandates, such as mandatory social security coverage, have imposed on your community. Identify costs and difficulties which your municipality has experienced in the issuance of municipal bonds from recent federal legislation and regulations. ~ Identify any mortgage revenue or small issue IDl3s issued by your community in recent years and the benefits of those issues. Describe recycling and solid waste reduction efforts in your community and the need for the development by the federal government of markets for post-consumer products while at the same time avoiding expensive mandates on local governments. ~ Identify what is happening to your municipal taxes, fees and expenditures as you strive to balance local budgets within the constraints of Amendment 1 and your local economy while the federal government proposes additional costs and mandates on local governments. t ML G • Colorado Municipal League 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100 Denver, Colorado 80264-2101 Letter sent to all of Colorado's Congressional delegation Phone (303) 83i-6411 FAX (303) 860-8175 February 26, 1993 The Honorable Hank Brown United States Senator 717 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Hank: Intrraductian Thank you for scheduling a meeting at 10:30 a.m., March 9, at 717 Hart Senate Office Building. Enclosed is a list of registrants from Colorado for the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference which is being held in Washington D.C. from March 6 through March 9. We expect some of these officials will be attending the meeting with you. We have summarized below various pending federal issues and the Colorado Municipal League's position on each. We would like to discuss some of these with you on March 9. ~gneral Objectives While specific legislative issues are discussed below, municipal officials have two overriding objectives for federal-local government relations. The first involves fundamental change in federal budget priorities to reduce the deficit and invest in people and communities. The second involves avoiding federal financial mandates which add to local taxpayer costs and federal administrative mandates and pre-emptions which interfere with local government operations, to short, we urge Congress to address pressing domestic needs and avoid actions which interfere with the ability of local governments to carry out their responsibilities. Financial Issues CDBG and Housing Funding. The CDBG program has proven to be one of the most cost • effective and efficient federal programs and has been extensively used in Colorado. The President has proposed a one year appropriation increase from S4 to S6.5 billion. Colorado municipal officials urge your support of the President's proposed funding level, as this will provide a quick economic stimulus through a proven, effective program. Increased CDBG funding is a top priority for Colorado cities and towns. /ntermoda/ Surface Tiensportatfon Efficiency Act Fun~ng. last session Congress passed landmark legislation (ISTEA) rewriting federal transportation laws and authorizing long term The Honorable Hank Brown February 26, 1993 Page 2 federal funding. However, current funding is far below revenues generated from federal highway user faxes and wholly inadequate to address the pressing transportation needs of Colorado and fl,e Pest of the nation. Colorado officials support as a municipal priority the President's proposal to increase federal funding far fiscal 1993 from S18 to S20 billion and to fund fully the authorized appropriation level for the succeeding four years. Such action will address pressing transportation needs and provide a prompt economic stimulus. Tax Exempt Bond Revisions. We urge your support of legislation to remove various restrictions which currently make issuance of tax exempt bonds difficult and expensive. At a time when the need to issue municipal bonds to comply with federal requirements, such as the Clean Water Act, has never been greater, the federal government has imposed arbitrage, rebate, and other excessive restrictions. Congress should either remove restrictions on issuance of tax exempt bonds or remove federal requirements for construction of these expensive public facilities. Continuation of Mortgage Revenue Bonds and Sma//Issue /DB Financing. The President has proposed making permanent the mortgage revenue bond and small issue IDB financing programs which are scheduled to expire this year. We urge Congress to extend permanently both of these programs. Both have been used effectively by Colorado's local governments, and the MRB program has been of major assistance to first-time home buyers. Mandatory Soc/a/Security Corrections. In 1990 Congress passed legislation requiring all state and local government employees not covered by an alternative retirement program to be covered by social security. In addition to its obvious financial impact on public employers and employees, the measure created adverse, unintended consequences. Municipal officials support corrective legislation or administrative •action to exempt from coverage part-time elected officials and independent contractors doing business with public entities. Savings and Loan Bar/out end the Resolution Trust Corporation. Congress will be asked this year to approve as much as S30 billion in additional bailout assistance. We urge Congress to exercise its appropriation and oversight responsibilities over the RTC by imposing at least annual appropriation authorization requirements on the .RTC and by: (1) providing {oca{ governments with a legal or administrative remedy to ensure payment of state and local property taxes as required by law, and (2) creating, a process at the RTC to ensure a more responsive and constructive working relationship with state and local governments. Fu//Imp/ementation of Uranium Mi// Tai/ings Cleanup. Municipal officials support full funding and completion of the cleanup of uranium mill tailing sites in Colorado. Congress needs to , approve atwo-year program extension through September 30, 1998. This should allow sufficient time for cleanup of the remaining sites at Grand Junction, Gunnison, Rifle, Maybell, Naturita, and Slick Rock. ~ Co/%ction of Interstate Saes Taxes. Municipal officials support federal legislation to overcome the Bellas Hess v. State of Itiinoi~ Supreme Court decision which severely restricted authority of state and local governments to collect sales taxes en interstate sales. Since local The Honorable Hank Brown February 26, 1993 Page 3 businesses are already required to charge and collect such taxes, federal legislation is needed so local businesses are not placed at an unfair competitive disadvantage. Proposed federal legislation would enable states to require businesses engaged in catalogue and other interstate business to collect state and local sales taxes. Municipal officials support the compromise worked out by national associations of state and local governments which would ensure collection of local taxes as well as state taxes. ~nvironment~l Programs C/ean WaterAct Reauthorization and Funding. Legislation should extend and increase federal funding for wastewater treatment facility construction. Federal funding is absolutely necessary if local governments are to meet existing federal requirements. Following are some specific concerns which reauthorization legislation should address. Reauthorization the legislation should be reasonable in scope. Any new mandates or requirements should be accompanied with a federal financial commitment commensurate with the new requirements. .Consideration should be given to costs and benefits of any new programs. The reauthorization should include 'biomonitoring legislation similar to that introduced by Representative Hefley. Biomonitoring refers to a method of testing POTW effluent for toxins by adding certain organisms to the~effluent and checking the survival rate of those organisms. Current EPA interpretation of the Clean Water Act treats any failure of a biomonitoring test as a violation of the Act, exposing the POTW to the full range of penalties. EPA's position ignores the fact that POTWs do not generate toxins and are not designed to treat toxins. POTWs are simply the unfortunate recipients of toxins in the sewage that they treat. EPA's interpretation forces POTWs to allocate scarce pubic funds (that might otherwise be spent in investigatory and remedial work) to unproductive litigation and payment of penalties. Language should be added to the Clean Water Act clarifying that biomonitoring is a diagnostic procedure that triggers POTW responsibilities to locate and eliminate sources of toxins. Finally, the reauthorization legislation should moderate stormwater requirements. The 1987 Clean Water amendments added Section 402(p) which provided new direction for issuing NPDES permits for municipal stormwater discharges in communities above 100,000. EPA issued final regulations in November 1990 that allow NPDES permits to be issued based on best management practices and source control measures. In the 1987 amendments, however, Congress established a different standard for municipal stormwater discharges than for other point sources by requiring communities to reduce the discharge of pollutants to the "maximum extent practicable" (MEP). Local communities have either applied or are in the process of applying for permits based on this new MEP standard. Permit application requirements based on this MEP standard are complex and expensive. Denver, Aurora, and Lakewood spent approximately S2 million to prepare their applications, and the cost to comply with permit conditions will be a greater and continuing burden. It is unrealistic to impose requirements beyond the MEP standard and require end-of-pipe treatment in developed urban areas because of the extremely high cost of known end-of-pipe stormwater treatment t 4 The Honorable Hank Brown February 26, 1993 Page 4 methods. Congress is urged to reemphasize and clarify its intent that municipal separate storm sewer system NtPDES permits should be based on best management practices and source control' measures. Such systems should not be required to provide impractical end-of- pipetreatment unless (1) more cost effective alternatives are developed and demonstrated and (2) Congress provides funding assistance. Also, Congress should clarify that compliance with NPDES municipal stormwater permits should be based on implementation of municipal programs and plans pursuant to the maximum extent practicable standards and not end-of- pipe numerical effluent limits. Resouics Conse~ ~ ~.;bn and Recovery Act. Municipal officials urge Congress to focus on legislation designed to establish viable markets for recycled waste and to avoid mandating additional requirements on solid waste operations which .are costly or impractical to implement. Unless markets are effectively established at the national level, recycling efforts at the local level-will remain of quite limited effectiveness and mandated "recycling goals" will remain impractical and costly. We also urge Congress to avoid mandating additional requirements which are costly or impractical to implement on local government solid waste operations. CERCLA fSuperfundl Amendments. This session Congress may amend CERCLA comprehensively or in a limited fashion. We support legislation protecting all municipalities - - whether owner/operators or transporters from the tremendous costs and liability which their citizens are subjected to under CERCLA. Of particular concern are local governments which have transported ordinary household wastes. These local governments have been drawn in increasing numbers into protracted, expensive negotiations and litigation arising out of the innocent disposal of sewage sludge or ordinary trash sent to landfills. It is EPA's policy not to name municipalities as "potentially responsible parties" at Superfund sites without some indication that the municipality disposed. of waste more noxious than ordinary municipal solid waste or sewage sludge. EPA instead focuses on industries that have contributed hazardous chemical or other types.of waste. EPA's policy has not, however, prevented these private parties from in turn suing municipalities in "third-party" contribution actions. Through this device, these liable private parties attempt to shift much of the site cleanup costs to municipalities and their taxpayers. These third-party contribution actions are becoming .more common and base apportionment of liability on volume of waste contributed rather than on toxicity. This approach turns the "polluter pays" foundation of the CERCLA statute on its head. Legislation is needed to (1) prohibit polluters from suing cities for clean up costs at Superfund sites when the cities' only contribution to the site has been municipal waste or treated sewage sludge, and (21 to facilitate rapid settlement of any clean up liability between cities and EPA so as to reduce legal costs and accelerate clean up activities. Municipal liability is of profound importance to local governments and their taxpayers. Many municipalities have disposed of ordinary municipal solid waste or sewage sludge at landfills already included on EPA's "National Priorities List" of Superfund sites. As EPA proceeds toward its goal of tripling the number of sites on its Superfund list, it is anticipated that numerous other Colorado municipalities will confront the possibility of third-party liability in connection with their past disposal practices. The Honorable Hank Brown February 26, 1993 Page 5 Safe Drinking Water Reauthorization. Congress may reenact this session the Safe Drinking Water Act which regulates potable water supplies. Under current law the EPA is required to issue Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for 25 new contaminants every three years, regardless of whether they ever appear in drinking water. Beyond this, municipalities face excessive costs to monitor and implement controls for contaminants which often are regional rather than nationwide in occurrence. We urge Congress to avoid imposing costly new mandates which are.not accompanied by federal financial assistance. In addition, the Federal government should provide more effective funding for small communities which face additional burdens in meeting drinking water mandates. Finally, small community systems with no history of harmful contamination should be exempted from certain engineering and construction requirements. Pesticide Pie-emption Legis/ation. Last session legislation was introduced to pre-empt all local regulation of pesticides. The legislation would have reversed a Supreme Court decision, Wisconsin Intervenor v. Mortier, which upheld the right of local governments to regulate the uses of pesticides within their communities. The legislation would have prevented local governments from such things as (1) regulations protecting municipal water supplies, (2) storage requirements where public safety is at risk, (31 spraying requirements near schools, and (41 advance notice and public warning requirements for planned pesticide applications. Ironically, the proposed legislation would severely constrain the ability of local governments to comply with federal Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Waster Act requirements. Municipal officials strongly urge members of the Colorado delegation to oppose federal pesticide legislation pre-empting the public health and safety authority of local governments to protect their citizens. Po/ice Officers'Bi//of Rights/mposition. Last session the Senate added a "police officers' bill of rights" mandate on state and local governments as a part of anti-crime legislation. The House version deleted the mandate and called for a study. Differences between the House, Senate, and President resulted in the anti-crime package not being enacted. Municipal officials urge Congress to resist imposing federal requirements on local governments because: • This is clearly a matter for state and local government resolution. Congress should not set police personnel standards which are so fundamentally local in nature. • The substantive and procedural rights proposed by police officers appear to be nothing less than a federally imposed collective bargaining agreement. Many local governments already have personnel policies and practices which address the rights of police officers involved in internal investigations. • The proposed legislation confers on police officers rights which are greater than the rights afforded other citizens accused of a crime or subject to a disciplinary action by their employer. 4 The Honorably k~ank Brown February 26, 1993 ' Page 6 1 The ~gislation would make it more difficult to disciplin® and correct improper behavior. Con~rgss should avoid any action which might impair the ability of locally elected officals ~nc~ administrators to protect their citizens from improper police behavior. • Costs to conduct internal investigations, discipline officers when appropriate, and defend litigation would escalate. At a time in which taxpayers are concerned over rising government costs and local governments are strapped for revenues, it is inappropriate for the federal government to impose additional costs. OSHA Mandates on State aid Loca/ Govemmerits. Congress is expected to consider legislation imposing OSHA requirements on all state and local governments as part of Comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health Reform Act legislation (COSHRA). Under current law, if a state is administering an OSHA program approved by the federal government, state and local government workers are covered by OSHA (since state programs must be at least as strict as federal requirements and must apply to state and local government workers). If. a state is not administering the federal program (such as is the case in Colorado) state and local government workers are generally exempt from OSHA requirements. Among other things COSHRA would revise OSHA to mandate coverage of state and local employees. Municipal officials believe that federal OSHA standards should not be mandated on Colorado state and local government. Instead, safety in the public workplace should continue to be regulated by state and local governments where the public sector requirements can be better and more cost effectively handled.

However, as we have produced each survey in-house from start to finish, there is concern that our questions and techniques have not been as objective or statistically accurate as they could be. Concern has been expressed that the Town of Vail should take its tracking of public opinion to the next level in order to best monitor the needs and concerns of our community. Concerns with Previous Resident Surveys: I have received a critique of our past two surveys from the City-County Marketing Association (3CMA), the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and Nolan Rosell. All three sources agree that the survey is "pretty good" for in-house production by non-experts in the field of surveying. However, all three had concerns as well: * Lenath. Each survey is too long and cumbersome for the average person to deal with. * Question bias. Numerous questions on each survey were not asked as objectively as they could have been. Also, the questions were formatted on the basis of what the Town of Vail would like to hear, vs. what the community might want to tell us. * Question inconsistency. Numerous questions were changed from year to year, rendering precise improvement ratings difficult. * Samnlina. While sending a survey to every resident and box holder has enormous public relations value, such a survey technique should be combined with a random sampling to provide results which are statistically accurate. * Survey technique. Many people simply do not have the time nor the inclination to sit down and work their way through a written survey. In order to get across- section of people's opinions, a survey should be conducted with a wide range of techniques. t Proposal: To work closely for one year with Nolan Rosell to establish an overall survey system which incorporates various survey approaches, in effort to combine statistical accuracy with the overall public outreach which the Town desires. With the combination of three approaches, Nolan believes we will have survey results which will be most useful for budgeting purposes, provide direction for Town Council and staff, and accomplish overall communication with residents. The three survey techniques include: 1. Two focus groups (one session held prior to developing the survey to determine which questions the community and council would Like answered; one session held following compilation of the survey results in order to verify and get feedback regarding the survey findings). 2. Mail-out survey sent to all residents, second home-owners, merchants and box holders (9,000). Sending the survey to everyone within these populations has public relations value and gives every interested party an opportunity to give input. 3. Phone survey. A random selection of the above group would be conducted (100 - 150 calls), with ten to twelve key questions asked. This will provide statistical accuracy which the survey requires. The greatest expense could feasibly be incurred in the initial year of this survey approach, with Nolan assisting the Town with all three survey elements. In future years, the Town could limit the survey to those two methods of the three which we feel best derive useful information, and/or, to reduce costs, Town staff could take over a portion of the all three elements. RRC Cost: 1. Focus Groups: Two sessions $500 per session for travel time and Nolan's facilitation of the hour long sessions, with compilation of results. One focus group prior to mail-out survey; one following. These sessions would be audio taped and transcribed for staff and council members to review. Total: $1,000 2. Mail-out Survey: 9,000 sent; 2,000 returned Design assistance ($1,000); data entry ($2,000); data synthesis and report ($2, 000) . Total: $5, 000 Lay-out and production (to be completed by Town staff). Paper (plain white); printing (Quick Print, Denver); collation. Total: $2,703 Postage (@ 52 cents per piece -outgoing only, no return postage). Total : $4, 680 3. Phone Survey: 100 - 150 calls A sampling of 100 - 150 residents, second homeowners, merchants and box holders would be asked four different sets of approximately twelve most pertinent questions (taken from the mail-out survey). Random selection of names; placing of phone calls; data entry; compilation of findings. Total: $3, 000 TOTAL 1993 SURVEY COST: $16,383 Total Budgeted: $8,178 Justification for Spending the Necessary * Residents have expressed concern that the Town of Vail is "out of touch" with the community. * The Town Council and staff put a great deal of "weight" on the survey results. * We currently have no truly scientific, diverse tools for monitoring public opinion. * Organizations in the community have spent similar sums for surveying public opinion on issues which were less broad scale than these. * This comprehensive approach could be taken every other year in the overall effort to track public opinion, thus incurring survey expenses on the off-years only. * These three approaches compliment our other public input avenues (Speak Up meetings, Resident Input Cards, Resident Input Follow-Up System, general public meetings). * The combination of input avenues will provide numerous consecutive opportunities for press coverage. r ' Proposed 1993 Survey Timeline: Early March - Initial focus group is held to receive face-to-face resident input and determine question areas to be used for send-out survey. Late March - Survey is sent out to all residents, box holders, second homeowners, and merchants. Late April - Deadline for returning survey to TOV. Late April - Phone survey is conducted. Early May - Survey results are compiled. Early May - Focus group is held to review results from survey. Mid-May - Final summary is written and presented to community and Town Council.

Student Council's objective was . to involve as many community and school people as possible in an evening of laughter to boost winter morale. With more than four hundred people attending last night's event, we think we more than met our objective! It could not have been achieved however, without your willingness to hop on (and off) the back of a donkey, and take some rather ungraceful falls to the delight of the audience. We appreciate your being a part of this event, and we thank you again for giving our school and community an opportunity to laugh. People are smiling today and we know it will be one of our greatest memories for the year.

The projects identified in the Vail transportation plan, which you mentioned in your letter, were proposed to the Colorado Transportation Commission by your Town staff and Eagle County during the 1992 County Hearing process. These projects, however, have not been included in the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Five Year Plan. Increased emphasis on maintenance of the existing highway system and a decreased level of federal funding resulted in very few projects being added to the Five Year Plan for the 1998 fiscal year. I would suggest that the Town consider signalization at the four-e~ay stop and the Vail Interchange ramps to improve traffic operations in this area. I am fully aware of the local attitude regarding traffic signals, but suggest that signalization should be formally analyzed as regards operations and costs prior to requesting federal funding for underpasses and ramp modification. I would further suggest that local government, perhaps in conjunction with the ski industry, offer significant financial participation in proposed projects in order to enhance the possibility of obtaining increasingly scarce federal/state funds for improvement projects.

As a means of doing i~his, we invite you to appoint a Council Member to act as an advisory member of our Board and to represent the interests of the 7Cown of Vail. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens attracts a significant number of visitors from early spring until snowfall and will continue to grow as a major summer attraction for Vail. The Vail Alpine Garden foundation sponsors a beautification program for the Valley and will continue to develop educational programs through the Gardens Visitor Center. Our Board believes that increased cooperation with i:he Town of Vail will serve the community interest as these programs develop. 7Che Town of Vail has been very supportive of the Gardens, initially by providing Town land in Ford Park to build an alpine garden, and i:hen with significant. grants that have given successive boosts to c;onstruction of ~ ir2ie Gardens. iiie want to invite your ideas into our program development process as well. Members of our Board would be pleased to discuss this proposal with you or the Council at your convenience. :>incerely, Helen S.

A. Nolan, MD, MPH Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division o MEMORANDUM TO: Interested Parti / ~ ' J FROM: Eck Parachini, Eagle Mine Project Manager DATE: February 22, 1992 SUBJECT: State Air Monitoring Results -October/November 1992 Enclosed is a summary of the air monitoring data collected in front of the Minturn Middle School by the State of Colorado during the Eagle Mine remedial activities. These units have been in operation since 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, and is used in the ongo'mg health assessments conducted for the site. The metals analysis for October 28 was not done, but will be included in the next report. No air monitoring data was collected at the station (in front of the Minturn Middle School) because of a miscommunication with the operator. This problem has since been corrected. Air monitoring data for November 29 was not collected because the electrical motor burned out. The long delay between my last report on November 19, 1992 was caused by continuing problems with the laboratory instrument used to determine metals concentrations. Repairs have been completed, and I hope that I will be able to provide you with reports on a more timely basis in 1993. . If you have questions about the air monitoring results, please call me at 692-3396.

The Board has authorized me to reiterate the District's following position: A. The District agrees to hold an election in May, 1994 to increase its mill levy in order to provide a financial base for funding recreational programs with a concurrent agreement from the TOV to decrease its mill levy by an equal amount. B. The District agrees to manage the TOV's programs for one more year (1994) based upon a payment from the TOV of $543,243 plus the Denver/Boulder Consumer Price Index. C. Prior to December 31, 1993, the District requests leases from the TOV on all real property identified in the previous agreement as that which is necessary to provide recreation to TOV residents and guests. D. The terms of the lease agreement should be for a period not less than 40 years or until at such time that the mill levy would revert back to the TOV. TOV as landlord of the property would be responsible for major upkeep and repair, as it has been in the past. The Vail Recreation District Board of Directors has been elected to T t insure quality recreational programs, activities and services and, in order to best represent a recreation oriented community cannot in good faith to our residents and guests compromise on these terms. Sincerely, 1 Ken Wilson Chairman CC: Town Council Members work\ron s . . . VRD/TOV MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT 2/24/93 The consensus of the Vail Recreation District Board of Directors follows. A. The transfer of the Mill Levy is the most acceptable solution. The District would place this ballot issue before the voters during our May, 1994 election. B. The District agrees to manage the Town's programs for one more year (1994) since a May election would not allow us to collect the new property taxes until 1995. C. In order to manage the Town's programs during 1994, the board needs to receive payment of $543,243 plus the DenverJBoulder Consumer Price Index. D. Should the May, 1994 Mill Levy ballot issue pass, the District must have long term lease agreements on all real property identified in the previous agreement which are necessary in order to provide recreation to Town of Vail residents and guests. The Board requests that these leases, to became effective January 1, 1994 contingent upon passage of said ballot issue, be in place prior to December 31, 1993. E. The term of the new agreement should be one year (ending December 31, 1994). Should the ballot issue fail in May, 1994, the District and Town would need to renegotiate the management agreement. Results of nollin~ the VR,D Board Firm on the following points: - May election date - $543,000 + CPI for 1994 - 40 year lease, or something similar * similar to what we have now on maintenance and improvements * will compromise on some "clean-up issues" work\mgmtl T TO: TOV AND VRD SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS FROM: ROB ROBINSON DATE: February 20, 1993 SUBJECT: Subcommittee meeting March 2, 1993 Hermann Staufer and Ken Wilson have met twice with the Vail Recreation District Board of Directors since our last subcommittee meeting. The VRD Board members have reached a consensus on a proposal which we will discuss at the meeting on Tuesday, March 2, 1993. In the meantime they have asked that I forward you the attached information which is the foundation from which the Board developed its most recent proposal. VRD/TOV CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS - FINANCIAL DATA MILL LEVY HISTORICAL DATA: 1989 Mill = 1.41 Assessed Value = 298,459,290 Property Tax Rev = 420,828 (Based on mill x assessed value) Property Tax Revenue = 417,880 (Actual collections) 1990 Mill = 1.53 Assessed Value = 285,115,610 Property Tax Rev = 436,227 (mill x assessed value) Property Tax Revenue = 425,965 (Actual) 1991: Mill = 1.53 Assessed Value = 288,743,120 Property Tax Rev = 441,777 (mill x assessed value) Property Tax Revenue = 436,578 (Actual) 1992: Mill = 1.35 Assessed Value = 330,919,870 Property Tax Rev = 446,742 (mill x assessed value) Property Tax Revenue = 442,781 (Actual) 1993: Mill = 1.35 Assessed Value = 329,812,740 Property Tax Rev = 445,247 (mill x assessed value) PROPERTY TAX REVENUE $ INCREASES - 1989 TO 1993: 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 Based on Mill base yr 3.66% 1.27% 1.12% -0.33% x Assess Val Based on Actual base yr 1.93% 2.49 1.42% N/A Collected As you can see, the historical increases are relatively small due to the Board's policy of collecting the same amount of property tax revenue from existing property owners each year, and allowing additional revenue from new construction only. The increases, therefore, represent the growth factor. IF VRn HAn ASSUMEn ADDITIONAL MILL IN 1989 fin lieu of TOV bavmentl: 1989 Assessed Value = 298,459,290 543,243 = (Mill/1,000 x 298,459,290) x .99 x .97 Mill = 1.895 A mill of 1.895 could be expected to bring in approximately $543,243 of revenue after taking into account 1$ uncollectible and the Eagle County collections fee of 3$. 1990: 1.895/1000 x 285,115,610 x .99 x .97 = $518,844 1991: 1.895/1000 x 288,743,120 x .99 x .97 = $525,446 1992: 1.895/1000 X 330,919,890 X .99 X .97 = $602,198 (could not have legally collected this - would have exceeded our limit) 1993: 1.895/1000 x 329,812,740 x .99 x .97 = $600,183 These hypothetical property tax numbers serve to illustrate the problems associated with focusing on a constant mill levy figure. Historically, the mill levy has been a "plug" figure; i.e., given the property tax revenue and assessed valuation variables, the mill levy was then simply calculated as the third variable. It is thus fairly meaningless for one to suggest that the District would have brought in "X" dollars over the course of the last 4-5 years based on a certain mill levy. It does, however, logically flow that had a mill levy transfer been effected, the District would have had considerable latitude in which to adjust the mill levy and bring in increasing revenue each year. The amount of the increase would have depended on the Board's philosophy in setting the particular mill levy each year. Changing the above scenario from a historical to a future perspective, remember that Amendment 1 would prevent mill Levy increases, but would allow additional property tax revenue at the same mill levy up to the extent it does not exceed CPI + growth. MILL LEVY ANALYSIS - CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS 1992 Assessed Value = 329,812,740 Desired $ brought in = $543,243 543,243 = (mill/1000 x 329,812,740) x .99 x .97 Mill = 1.715 (necessary mill levy to bring in $543,243 based on '92 assessed value POINTS OF NOTE: -If Board desires to increase revenue from this mill, either through actual tax or based on an internal transfer, it would either have to segregate this portion of the District's total mill from the other "non-CPI" mill, or modify its philosophy somewhat. -It should be emphasized that any payment/tax based on this mill levy could fluctuate moderately. -A pessimistic scenario would have assessed valuation, and hence the payment/tax dollars, decreasing. -A more realistic scenario would have assessed valuation increasing on average somewhere between 0 and CPI + growth each year; the payment would also increase accordingly. -In an optimistic scenario, assessed valuation would increase each year by CPI + growth, or better, and the payment would increase by more than CPI each year. -In an internal transfer situation, if assessed valuation increased by more than CPI + growth, the mill levy figure presumably would be adjusted down, and would remain at the lower level when used in the payment calculation in subsequent years. -It should be emphasized that the mill levy formula being considered is simply an indicator (similar to CPI) that would be used in adjusting any internal transfer each year. This particular indicator, since it is based on assessed valuation, is probably more volatile than CPI. -Since VRD's assessed valuation is slightly greater than TOV's (which is 327,584,070 for the 1993 tax year), to effect a mill levy "swap" involving equal dollars the TOV would have to lower their mill by slightly more than VRD would raise theirs.

We will have a table reserved for you and your teammates so that you can get together to discuss racing techniques and strategy and get to know one another. Your racer bibs will be at your table. Also during this time we will discuss the race "pool" format and give out the race schedule showing your actual Team Groupings and race times for Thursday and Friday. Handlcan System We will use existing handicaps from last March's American Ski Classic for as many participants as possible and new racers will be given handicaps based upon their first run in the team competition. After each successive run, each racer's handicap will be updated and may change based upon all previous runs taken by that racer. This ensures that our timing crew is using the most accurate information available for a fair and close competition. Penalty ZYme In order to avoid potential "sandbagging' a penalty time will be assessed to all competitors racing faster than the allowed percentage of improvement. Although the racer will not be disqualified, this "penalty time" will be added to his/her gross time and an "adjusted time" will be used for race results. The Start All adjustments for the handicaps will be made at the start and the horse gates will open according to this time adjustment. Example: Racer #121 Smith has a handicap of 1.30 seconds Racer # 45 Jones has a handicap of 2.50 seconds J993 AMER/CAN SK/ CL4SS/C -Page 11 The difference between Smith and Jones is 1.20 seconds, therefore Racer Jones' horse gate will open 1.20 seconds BEFORE Racer Smith's horse gate. The racer who crosses the finish line first will win that match-up for the team, unless a "penalty time" is assessed. A "barge' is called when the racer pushes against the starting gates before they open and thereby locking the starting gate. All racers are allowed one free "barge" during each day of competition. The second "barge" for a racer will result in a disqualification and the opposing team's racer will get the winning point for his/her team. If a racer "no shows', he/she will automatically be disqualified and the winning point will go to his opponent in that round. Pool Groups Each team is made up of five persons, teams are numbered 1 through 40; Each 'pool" is made up of five teams, pools are lettered A through H; There are a total of eight "pools", made up of 40 teams with 200 total people! Remember, we will hand out to you a list of the team members and "pool" groups at the Racer Breakfast on Thursday morning. The racers in each pool must report to the start area at their assigned time. Each day, teams will race against two of the other teams in their pool, so that by the afternoon of Friday, March 12 you will have competed against all other teams within your pool. The winning team of each pool will advance into the Round of Eight to compete against other pool winners. All races will be single elimination, with each head-to-head matchup giving the winner 1 point. The team with the most points after each matchup wins that Team Match. After the pool rounds on Thursday and Friday, the team with the most Team Match wins advances to the Round of Eight. If a tie occurs, the following criteria will be used to break the tie: 1: Winning Team in direct matchup advances. 2.• Tota/individua/points scored within poo/system -team with most points advances. 3.' Winning Legend -team advances FYnals -Round of Eiaht The eight teams who won their pool will advance to the VISA Ford Cup Finals - Round of Eight. The Finals will be held on Friday evening, March 12 on the same course. The course will be fully lighted and the racing action will begin at 7:00 pm. All finalists should report to the Race Information Desk located in the finish stadium at 6:30 pm for a brief informational meeting. The Hospitality Tent will be open during the races. Competitors in the finals will compete head-to-head in a single elimination format, with 1 point going to each matchup winner. Best 3 out of 5 in the team match will advance. 1993 AMER/G4N SK/CLASSIC -Page 12 3~OLEX LEGENDS OF aKiiNG -Giant Slalom General Dates: March 13, 1993 Location: Beaver Creek, Colorado Course: Centennial Access to Start: Chairlift #1 Bib Pick-Up: Beaver Creek Timing Building -Upstairs Schedule March 10 3:30 pm Legends Meeting -Location TBA March 11 8:30 am Bib Pick-Up -Race Information Desk 9:00 - 10:00 am Course Inspection 10:30 am Qualifying Rounds -All Legends 1:00 pm ROLEX LEGENDS GIANT SLALOM Handicap System We will handicap all competitors based upon last year's race results in combination with this year's race times from the Qualifying Rounds. Your handicap will be used to calculate net time for all Legends, and this handicap will be updated after each run, thereby using the most accurate data to ensure a fair and close competition. Penalty Time A race will be assessed a penalty time if he/she improves his/her time from one race run to another by more than the percentage of improvement allowed. We will use the handicaps to determine percentage of improvement. The American Ski Classic Organizing Committee enforces a "penalty time" in order to avoid potential "sandbagging" and to give all participants an equal advantage. Qualifvina Rounds There are two (2) Qualifying Rounds, beginning at 10:30 am. All Legends must compete in both qualifying rounds. From these Qualifying Rounds we will determine the best gross and best net times to fill in the ladder. The following people will advance to the Legends Giant Slalom: Men: Top 8 Gross Times and Top 8 Net Times: Total 16 Men Women: Top 4 Gross Times and Top 4 Net Times: Total 8 Women Competition Seeding Seeding for both Men's and Women's brackets will be based upon results of the . Qualifying Rounds and will be done by the Race Office. The ladder will be published as quickly as possible and will be available to competitors at the Race Information Desk located in the finish area. 1993 AMER/CANSK/CLASS/C -Page 13 Start All handicap adjustments will be made in the start area as racers come out of the horse gates. With this system, the racer who crosses the finish line first will win that run, unless a "penalty time" is assessed as~ explained in the information on the preceding page. The announcer will inform the participants of such an occurrence. Advancement Racers will compete in a head-to-head, two run format. Racers must switch courses for their second run. A racer will advance to the next round if his/her differential time is better than his/her opponent's time. Example: 1st Run: Racer #26 crosses finish line 0.75 seconds before Racer #45; 2nd Run: Racer #45 crosses finish line 0.56 seconds before Racer #26; Therefore, Racer #26 will advance to the next round because his differential time was greater, and also assuming that no "penalty time' was assessed. If a "penalty time" is assessed, the announcer will report the final mathematical differential and the name of the advancing racer.

Frontage Road Vail, Co. 81657 Dear Mrs. Mayor and Councilmen: I am writing to you in regards to the $47,500 that Vail Village Inn is required to pay towards the cost of moving the Ski Museum. When we built Phase V we agreed to provide approximately 4,000 square feet, fee simple, to the Town of Vail so the Ski Museum could be moved across the street to our location, thereby providing open space. In addition, we agreed that when we built Phase IV we would contribute up to $75,000 towards the expense of moving the Ski Museum. At that time, Phase IV was planned to be a $20 million project, and $75,000 would not have been an excessive amount in the overall scheme of things. In the meantime, economic conditions have forced us to scale down Phase IV to a mere 16 rooms instead of the 180-200 that were originally planned; there- fore $75,000 in a $3 million project becomes a substantial amount to add to the cost of the project. It was estimated by the Town's staff that the removal of the Ski Museum building has cost approximately $27,500 - which we have paid. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond anybody's control, such as asbestos abatement, the American Disability Act, and other code regulations, we are faced with the fact that the project has in excess of a 30 percent cost overrun and although we have been successful in selling the condominium at a good price, we are faced with a $2 million debt service on 16 rooms instead of a $1 million debt service as originally projected. This of course has placed a tremendous burden not only on our cash reserves, but also on our ability to borrow additional funds. We have put all this season's profits into the project and are now having to face the off- and Summer seasons with no cash reserves. I appeal to your sense of fairness to determine whether a relatively small project - only one fifth of the size of the originally planned Phase IV - should pay the same amount as for a project five times its size. In closing, I would like to reiterate that we have provided 4,000 square feet, which is presently occupied by the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, and have paid $27,500 to the Town to offset the cost of removing the old Ski Museum building and landscaping the area. At this time, we are in the unfortunate position of seeing ourselves facing the off-season with no cash reserves and are totally unable to come up with a major payment such as $47,500, /Continued.. 100 East Meadow Drive Vail, Colorado 81657 (303) 476-5622 FAX (303) 476-4661 Town Council Town of Vail February 22, 1993 Page 2 I hope that you will have an opportunity to discuss my problem amongst yourselves and that subsequently I will have the chance to discuss this situation at your earliest convenience at a Work Session.
