L Organizing Entity la. The Vail Recreation District, formed in 1966, has a ]ong history of planning and implementing high quality special events. U community special events alone, the VRD has responsibility for organizing large celebrations for Christmas In Vail, Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, and VailFest. Recent highlights of the Vail Recreation District's efforts include the Symphony of Sports Spectacular on ABC's Wide World of Snorts, The Champion International Whitewater Senes held since 1989, The Vail Hill Climb and many other events in all seasons of the year. 2 Budget 2c. The proposed budget for Winter Canuva11993 is as follows: Revenues ISour,ae) Town of Vail Funding: Winter Carnival $5,000 Ice Show Ticket Sales $27,000 TOTAL REVENUES $ 32,000 ~„u~ ~ Amnunt Printing $500 Advertising $1,200 Ice Show Talent $20,000 Production $5,000 Sound $3,500 ~g;ng $2,500 Crperating Expenses Ski Joring $1,500 Ice Sculpting $1,500 Chi]i Cook-Off $~0 Childrens' Activities $250 Tent Rental $~0 Sound System $1,2001 Prizes/ Awards $1,000 Hospitality TOTAL EXP'FNSES S NET INCOME (LOSS) (57,700) 2d. Extensive effort has been made to gain corporate sponsorship of Winter Canvval 1993. AT%T held title sponsorship of the event in 1992 and just recently discontinued their involvement due to commitments in Vail to the International Brotherhood of Skiers convention January 22-24,1993. 2g. Funding is sought from the Special Events Commission to provide overall enhancement of Winter Carnival 1993. If funding is not granted, the Vail Recreation District will remain committed to implementing a high quality winter celebration In that instance, reduction in scope of some of the event components will be required to minimize operating losses. 2h Efforts to solicit corporate sponsorship for Winter Carnival are ongoing. For 1993, such efforts have been unsuccessful. However, should sponsorship be gained for future Winter Carnival events, the VRD will reconsider its approach to requesting funding b..... the Special events Commission 0 Y b 4 ®peratiort$ Plan 4a. 1. Staff The Vail Recreation District has a professional staff of full-time employees dedicated to special events such as Winter Carnival. The entire Winter Carnival celebration will feature the c~peration of several VR~ branches. In addition, volunteer assistance has historically been r~guired for several of the event com~sonents. Ticket Sales: Only one event (Scott Hamilton Ice Show) us ticketed. Tickets will be sold at several local stores th addition to Dobson box offices on the night of the even4. 3.O+~erations Set-Uo and Tear Down: All event components will be professionally implemented through the use of paid, contract and volunteer staff. In some cases, the assistance of Town of Vail Police and Public Works depardments will be r~guested. Such request will be mnade through established 'POV pQ...~dures. 4. Environmental/Safety: All environmental and safety issues will be addressed by established event protocol. Ift some cases, professional security staff will be hired, in others the VPD will be contacted. Clean up will be handled in a thorough manner at all events. A9arketing Plan 5a,g. RRarketing for Winter Carnival 1993 is directed specifically at potential guests in Front Range and regional markets. The focus of Winter Carnival is to provide a focal event for attracting visitors to the Vail Valley. Our comprehensive event marketing plan includes: ° 1Vewspaper advertisements and PSA's; front range, regional and 9oca1 . ° Radio spots and PSA'a on local and regional stations ° Printed Items; pesters, flyers, etc. ° Television spots and interviews on local stations Winter Carniaal 1993 also presents outstanding ,,~r.,,, tunnies to cross-market surramer Vail . 6. ReneSts So the Vail Valley It is well established that resort community festivals mean bottom line profits for area hotels, restaurants and businesses. Almost every winter resort community holds a winter celebration of some sort. Current examples can be seen in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Win4ee Patk, Colorado, Stowe, Vermon4, and Edmonton, Alberta. It is therefore, advisable for the Vail community to offer a winter celebration worthy of its stature as the leading ski resort th Tilorth America. Ry offering Winter Carnival 19~I3 to the visiting public, our guests are provided with an enhanced vacation experience, spectators are drawn into key areas during prime times for eating, shopping, etc, and will be encouraged 4o visit Vail during the same time next year. The Vail Recreation District is committed 40 expanding Minter Carnival 4o become the leading winter celebration in the Rocky ARoun4ain resort community. Our hope is tha4 Winter Carnival will grow to become a 10 day to 2 week event featuring many spectator and participant activities. 9. Conti.~~,,,,cy I~lanning 7b. As the proposed budget for Winter Carnival shows, the Vail Recreation District exp.=~v to absorb an operating loss for Winter Carniva11993. linter Carnival 1~~ As stated, 1~3 will be the second year for Winter Carnival. 1992 featured many of the event components detailed above. The Scott I-Iamilton Ice Show is the mos4 exciting addition to the event. Results for 1c192 were exceptional. All accounts reveal the Winter Carnival is a worthwile endeavor for our community and deserving of surY,,. L • f. r A~,L. e~4. i---~ ~ - A~ J.,~ ;`j; r~^~..L'^Q !'~~"i~~~ t L.

The entertainment schedule is proposed for November 19, - December 24, 1993. Costumes, lodging, co-ordination fees and performers fees are included in this estimate. Entertainment _ locations rotate between the entire Vail community including Lionshead, Crossroads, Gore Creek Promenade) the International Bridge and Vail Village on a scheduled basis. In 1992 the local merchant communities subsidized the entertainment schedule, paying approximately $7,000. The plan for 1993 is to request an increased budget and schedule from the merchant community to support the entertainment effort. Public Relations Campaign: $5,000 The 1992 PR expense was $3,000. The fee included news releases of Festival of Lights which were released state~~ide to print, radio and broadcast media with follow-up phone calls to encourage coverage on an unpaid basis. The target ma ~ket for 1992 was Colarado with an emphasis on the front range. The 1993 budget is increased due to an increased target market including, Texas, Kansas, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and other neighboring states. ~ Advertising: $50,000 The 1992 expenses including purchasing a mailing list, postage, art design and printing of 25,000 Festival brochures. The 1993 budget does not include purchasing a mailing list or postage. It includes printing 100,000 upscale, self mailing promotional brochures. It also includes design and purchase of ad placement in a newspaper. i o a A ~~~3 GOAL: To promote the Second Annual Festival of Lights between Thanksgiving and Christmas with the objective of driving incremental dollars.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Gentlemen: The Holy Cross Ranger District of the White River National Forest is seeking public comment on .two proposed cooperative wildlife habitat improvement projects for the spring of 1994. The Colorado Division of Wildlife and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation are partners for these proposed projects. The projects are prescribed burns, The first burn is located in the area north, south and adjacent to Game Creek and north of the town of Minturn (Sec. 22, 23a 26, T.5 S.a R.81 W.) and the second is north, south and along Two Elk Creek (Sec, 25a 36, T.5 S., R.81 W.; Sec, 1, T.6 S., R.81 W.) south of the town of Minturn. Approximately 800 acres (total) will be treated, Decadent stands of sagebrush and serviceberry will be burned. The prescribed burns would regenerate and improve forage in elk winter range. Both areas will be burned in a mosaic pattern to create forage and vegetative' diversity (age classes) for big games non-game and neo-tropical bird species.

SEEKS T® RENEW G~9AT~RA~, SAS ~(RANCHISE 1~STH T®V (Vail)--The Vail Town Council has given preliminary approval to a new franchise agreement with Public Service Co. of Colorado that would continue delivery of natural gas to the town's 2,000 customers. The current franchise with the town expires March .1, 1993. The Town Council is expected to take final action on the contract at its next meeting Nov. 16. Public Service is asking for consideration of a 20-year agreement extending through the year 2013. " As proposed, the town would continue to collect a two percent franchise fee from revenues generated by the utility. Many Colorado towns and cities are now charging a three percent franchise fee, but the town has chosen to retain the two percent fee to keep costs down for customers. The franchise fees will generate about $75,000 per year, and are part of the town's general operating fund. The new agreement also proposes to remove a X2,500 annual franchise fee cap. Removal of the cap is intended to encourage additional energy conservation. (more) Franchise/Add 1 Residential customers would not be affected by the change, unless their annual usage exceeds $2,500. The franchise fee would amount to $1 on a $50 natural gas bill. Public Service Co. has operated in Vail since 1969, and has partnered with the town in introducing several energy-efficient programs, including the conversion of two Town of Vail vehicles to natural gas. The company also offers the "Light A Better Fire" program, providing homeowners and commercial business owners with information on converting woodburning appliances to clean-burning natural gas. Since its inception in the Vail Valley, over 465 woodburning appliances have been converted. Earlier this fall, Public Service Co. replaced afour-inch natural gas pipeline with a 12-inch pipeline between the Minturn and West Vail exits on I-70. The project is expected to offer customers improved natural gas reliability this winter. The utility's pipeline system provides natural gas throughout the town, except for a small area in East Vail north of I-70. Through negotiations with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, the company is seeking to reduce customers' initial hook-up costs. # # # _ _ _ ~ r - - P.O.

Children born to adolescents are more likely than other children to receive fewer immunizations, to have developmental problems, to be abused or neglected, to live in poverty and to repeat adolescent parenthood as they grow older. In fact, teen pregnancy has been called the "hub of the poverty cycle" in the United States. We are excited about the collaborative process that will be used in this initiative and will keep you informed of the communities' progress. We will also inform you as The Trust creates additional initiatives and funding opportunities that support the strengthening of families. If you have questions about this initiative or any of the programs we fund, please contact Meg Ryan, public information and education associate for The Trust, at (303) 837-1200.

I agree with the Town of Vail council's request that the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District retain any water rights associated with land that the District exchanges or sell. I would request that the Town establish the same principle. I would further request that any water rights obtained by the Town of Vail as a part of this land exchange, be transferred to the Water District for inclusion and management within the District's water rights program. The District currently exercises ownership over approximately 90-950 of the water rights within the Vail Valley area. I think it appropriate that the District continued to exercise this responsibility for the future. If you have any further questions on this issue, please contact myself at your convenience.

The Community Development Department is in the process of developing a Comprehensive Open Lands Plan for the Town of Vail. The primary purpose of this plan is to identify remaining open lands in Vail and determine if they have value for environmental protection, recreation, or trails. The Town. has held two well attended public meeting where the issue of completing the Gore Creek streamwalk was raised by the public. Based on this public input, the open lands committee consisting of council members, planning commissioners, real estate agents, Forest Service and staff-decided to again explore the concept of a streamwalk from the Covered Bridge to Lionshead. Staff is in the process of identifying alternative alignments for the streamwalk. A key criteria is to avoid locating the trail directly adjacent to first floor dwelling units. Also, the trail would be a "pedestrian only" trail. On November 9th at 5:15 in the Town Council Chambers, Town staff will present recommendations for protecting open land and improving trails. As part of the presentation on the trails portion of the plan, the pros and cons of the streamwalk will be discussed. Staff is compiling a list of "cons" identified by residents living on Gore Creek and these concerns will be presented to the Town Council. This will be an informational meeting to discuss the fundamental concepts of the plan and to receive council and general public comments on the plan. After the November 9th meeting, a written plan will be distributed to the Open Lands Committee for review and then go to the Planning and Environment Commission for approval. We are also considering having. one additional evening public meeting to receive public input on the final recommendations. Finally, the plan would go to the Town Council for adoption. If you have any questions regarding this plan, please contact Russ Forrest at 479-2138. Thank you again for your input.

How does Vail encourage more guests and reduce traffic at the saute time? The answer most likely involves a cooperative effort. Or, so says a transportation committee which is trying to improve the holiday "gridlock" problem. The committee, with representation from business owners, residents, and town staff, is developing a multi-faceted approach to the problem that would combine community participation, traffic control, and incentives to reduce holiday congestion between Dec. 23 and Jan. 2. Sue~estions under consideration include the followine: ? Urge employers to stagger arrival and departure times for their workers to reduce congestion at the 4-way between 7:30 and 9:00 a.nt. and 4:30 and 6:30 p.nt. ? Encourage workers to car-pool or ride the bus. ? Discount parking rates for customers who exit the parking structures after the evening rush. ? Work with Vail Associates to stagger lift closures. Work with the Eagle County School District to identify park-and-ride lots in Eagle, Edwards, and Eagle-Vail , ? Implement central command post to coordinate traffic direction at Main Vail 4-way, ~ CSu ~ ~E~Illo Lionshead parking structure, and West Vail interchange based on analysis of parking structure numbers; skier numbers; weather conditions; accidents; special events; Ford Park parking levels; and on-street parking. ? Through signage, encourage incoming westbound I-70 motorists to take the East Vail exit (rather than Main Vail). Direct outbound traffic from the Vail Village parking structure east on Frontage Rd. to East Vail interchange. ? Coordinate placement of fire and other emergency support vehicles for immediate response. . Once approved, the committee will continuously monitor effectiveness of the plan so adjustments can be made in anticipation of the next peak weekend in March. ~®®lLlE'0~~ ~Qp~ f~c~lff~B6~h~1Qa (~G~1~1fi~1({~C~~ ~c~(~®fn~lfr~l®®t~211T1~ l~~id8GK06~9c~si 0~9i !~®G~® ~~1~1I~ (~®l~hl~'tlvll~90417 {~®!~9(t~fEff$f~J~, I~f~9~®Q.Dff$c~l({aC~ rab a friend, and park for free this winter.

Several priorities have been identified through the public input process which include: a) Obtaining or protecting sensitive natural open space. b) Improving trails and trail signage. c) Improving recreational opportunities. Based on this public input, staff has developed recommendations for acquiring or protecting open lands to meet these needs. After receiving input on these concepts from Council and the general public, staff will submit the written plan to the Open Lands Committee for review.

Frontage Rd., Vail, Co., 81657 Peggy Osterfoss DZoa~ ~t'~9rJy We have had a home in Vail, 153W. Beaver Dam Rd., for some ten years now right on the Beaver Dam and have emnjoyed our location immenseley. The Beaver Dam. the trees, and the rushing of the river...0urs was maybe the second or third home built in Vail and its location is quite unique. I was notified of a meeting on November 9, at which the matter of a footpath along the Creek is to be discussed. We object strongly to the proposal.....we believe that it will do irreprable damage to the property values of the homes sit- uated along its banks. There are so many, many hiking trails available all of which serve the public so well. We see absolutely no need to introduce another which will destroy the pristine charm of the rushing river. which will spoil it's unspoiled appeal. Consider the impact of persons - drink containers discarded......food wrappers.....just the intrusion in an otherwise untouched area... If I'm not mistaken the wet-lands are vulnerable to man's intrusion and there is no way that they could escape damage. We respectfully request that the footpath proposal be removed from the Master Plan and preserve the fishing ahd retreat of our forest life.

Zt is incredible, incon$xstent and outrageously insensitive that. the town should espouse an Open Lands plan while at the same time contemplate destruction of the most environmentally significant wetland area within the nntnicipality! 3pecifiCaliy' construction of pathways along this section of Gore Creek wau]d effectively eliminate about i/2 mile o~f wetlands including three major wetland habitat areas, thereby causing irreparable damage to wildlife, be destructive of the most significant and oft-used trout fishery within the town, and elimi• Hate an area of "Cpen Lands,~~ which helps define the character of~the fawn, Wou1d~ it Aot also be totally inconsi~stant with existing U.S. Az~ny Corps of Engi.neors praeti.ce to approv®, thfs wetlands sited project with its adverse onvlronmaritai cangequencGS, particularly with strong and highly vocal ob3ectfans from adjacent iandownvxs4 Such rejection could be a substantial embarrassment to the town and its planned open Space prograc~. . Y am not aware of athor pedestrian trails located within vaa,lts residential e.reas, which is good policy; but if there are, I would urge that they be Temoved from the Trail Plan and Idaster Plan along with this proposed welkwey on Core Creek. It is a distiritt break of faith with ~xxsting homeowners to have such pat}~s within a few yards--ox .fn some cases a few feet of th~a,r bedrooms. ~'hase homeowners on West Meadow Drive would be twice cursed, GuxzentXy deaXing with extremely heavy motor, pedestrian and bicycle traffic to the north constxuCtion.o~ paths on the south would Create intolerable Heise end litter problems as well $g ~liminatA privacy.

Gore Creek sounds `~~`f~~~;~~;~=:=~~- _ ~ appealing. However, with additional consideration, the idea appears questionable. - ~ .s ..~q., - ~.~yr-=-~=•°~~"z~~ My concern relates to the walkway's environmental impact. The walkway could easily r,-.,rte. - - - y.~:;r~ be overused. Currently, large numbers of people walk on Meadow Drive between Vail : U~..,.~w a . . = and Lion's Head. Included in this crowd are meaningful numbers of dogs. It would not be unreasonable to assume 25 to 50% of the people. and dogs would use the stream " . walkway. The area along the streambed contains wetlands. It is also home to fox, ~;.,i;~~~:h_~zr~¢"~'`~ raccoons, porcupines, and skunks, to mention a few of the species of wildlife who would } • potentially be disrupted. It is also an area where deer are frequently seen. I am afraid = ` y ~:r,; people and dogs would reduce the quality of this natural environment m the heart of Vail. 3~;~~~1 =~s~~: At the current time there is a walkway between Vail and Lion's Head that appears to `~~-~°~.~~ix=~i'a?~` handle the volume of pedestrians satisfactorily. Further, that walkway allows people a ~::-=~st ~'-r ` . view of the stream and pleasures associated with that open space. It seems to me i ~ improvements to the existing walkway make more sense. ~ ~ , ~ : _ Sincerely, Todger Anderson .r:. . ,~.f . ~t. fit; ~d.~~ _ Si ~w .tr - :a': _-..~.:5.~._ Y VIIV VII ~~i~Y~n nnQ t.

As owners of the west duplex at 162 West Meadow Drive, we oppose this project. Currently there is adequate public access to miles of Gore Creek for educational or interpretive use. Construction through a wetlands area will alter one of the few natural habitats right in the middle of Vail. At the present people who fish the creek or float the creek can enjoy a relatively isolated nature area in the village without the intrusion of man-made by-ways. Birds, squirrels, skunks, beaver and porcupine make homes here and human intervention will surely force many criters to move from the area. There is no reason to pave or wood chip every foot along the creek since one reason to be in the mountains is to avoid the pervasive intrusion of mankind. In fact this area has been set aside by the Town of Vail "for use at all times as a vacant and undisturbed grazing area in its natural condition, No structure, building, or improvement of any kind or character, whether temporary or permanent, may be . erected or maintained thereon."(Amendment to Protective Covenents of Vail/Lionshead, First Filing, Eagle County, Colorado. August 26, 1971. Pg.3) It has been suggested that property and hotel owners along existing streamwalks like the walkways. However few if any people along the proposed path are in favor of the construction. Let's preserve and protect some natural open space in the town and not build on and pave every square foot. Sincerely, icharc~ Craig Garbe Margaret S. Garbe ~E~EIVEp,.NQV • Harley G. and Lorraine N.

We believe this walk would negatively affect the wetlands in~the area and would be detrimental to the homeowners living on both sides of the stream. We believe the proposal should be deleted from the Master Plan. Sincerely, Lorraine N. Higbie V Harl y G. bie, Jr. HGH:gr
