explained if the VRD did not receive a favorable vote of the people by December 1,1994, and receive
a Section 404 permit by December 1, 1995, it would be recommended the property remain as open
space. Kristan Pritz suggested removing the Par 3 parcel from the Open Lands Plan, as she felt it
could be dealt with as a separate issue. Jim Lamont commented on various portions of the Plan.
Merv Lapin moved to approve Resolution No. 6 with a change on Page 18 of the Plan under the

Item No. 1 was discussion regarding the use of a 48 acre parcel of property located in West Vail
commonly known as Trappe>'s Run. Mayor Osterfoss presented the following four options and
requested input from residents:
1) Allow current 30-lot development proposal to proceed;
2) Consider Town of Vail entering into a partnership agreement with Colorado Open
Lands, aColorado-based land trust, allowing for limited development of 2 - 8 lots;
3) Purchase of the parcel by the Town of Vail for open space; or
4) Acquisition of the parcel by adjacent property owners.
Tom Moorhead gave a brief history of the parcel. Tim Schultz and Don Walker of Colorado Open
Lands were present to answer questions. Residents commenting on the issue included: Porter Warton,
Kent Rose, Howard Rapson, Nichola Ripley, Warren Garbe, Byron Brown, Tall Cline, Pris Boris,
Diana Donovan, and James Johnson.. Comments reflected a majority of support for option no. 3,
purchase of the parcel by the Town, for open space.
Funding scenarios presented by Mayor Osterfoss included the following:
1) Hold a bond issue election in November;
2) Purchase the parcel for approximately $3 million out of Town funds; or
3) Purchase the property under an extended payment plan through the Trust for Public
Land, also requiring an election in November.
As discussion continued, Tom Moorhead informed Council there was an existing contract to purchase
the parcel held by a developer in Englewood. That contract called for a closing during the first part
of June, and the developer was scheduled to present the issue to the PEC on April 11, 1994. Don
Walker stated waiting for a November election would negate negotiations. He recommended Council
move forward within the next two weeks and suggested commencing condemnation proceedings.
Council members communicated their opinions and opted to adjourn into Executive Session to
discuss land negotiations.
Prior to retreating into Executive Session, other topics of discussion were as follows: Problems with
bears in the village due to garbage left outside; the Chuck Anderson Youth Awards [Town of Vail
Youth Award (Jan and Paul were appointed to take on the project)]; setting timelines to deal with
complaints received by the Town of Vail regarding noise in the Village core and enforcement of noise
ordinance; an update from Tom Steinberg on the EREBA; Vail Associates Category III Improvement
Process; the St. Moritz Sister City trip scheduled for July 11 - 15, 1994, status of the Awards
Ceremony stage temporarily erected at the Children's Fountain; and the Gold Peak House project.

RE: Main Vail Roundabout Discussion
DA: March 30, 1994
We have scheduled a presentation and discussion on the proposed Main Vail Roundabout for the
evening meeting on April 5, 1994. The purpose of this discussion is provide Council an
opportunity to review the conceptual design, project schedule and estimated cost for this project.
Following the discussion, if you wish to proceed with this project, you should direct us to proceed
with the final construction design. With your authorization we will complete the project design,
prepare the specifications and contract documents and bid the project.
In addition to review by the public, PEC, and DRB, the project must be reviewed and approved
by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). We are in the process of applying for the necessary approvals from CDOT and
FHWA. The required studies and analyses are being prepared and we expect to submit them
within six weeks. Based on our discussions with CDOT and FHWA officials, we anticipate a
prompt approval for this project. We will then proceed through the Town approved process.
We have also applied for State funding for this project, but at this time do not have any firm
commitment for funding.

MEMORANDUM

FR: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
DA: March 22, 1994
RE: ~ Town Manager Report
Vail Improvement Process (VIP).
We have now completed another VIP training session. During past two weeks, approximately 60
employees received this training. To date, approximately 160 employees from Administration,
Police, Community Relations, Public Works, Data Processing, and the Fire Department have
received training in the fundamentals of quality management and the department improvement
training. The final training session is scheduled for May, 1994.
In terms of organizational structure, when the Vail Improvement Process was established two
teams were created, a Quality Council and a Steering Team. The membership of the Quality
Council consisted of Lorelei Donaldson, Larry Grafel, Ken Hughey, Jim Spell, Rod Slifer, Peggy
Osterfoss, and the Town Manager. The purpose of the Quality Council was to set directions,
provide resources, review and approve implementation of recommendations for processes. In
terms of the Steering Team, membership included AI Bosworth, Susan Boyd, Susie Combs, Cathy
Dolan, Bob Mach, Linda Moore, Larry Pardee, Kristan Pritz, Sandy Yost, Pam Brandmeyer, Merv
Lapin, Joe Russell, and Paul Johnston. The purpose of the Steering Team was to receive.
suggestions from the organization overall, select and charter teams to look into issues, provide
facilitators, training as required by Action Teams, and to receive and report actions and progress
of the Action Teams to the Quality Council.
Now that VIP is well underway, it appears there is some redundancy with these two committees.
At this point, the Steering Team has assumed the leadership role in directing and implementing
VIP. Because both committees were established by Council, I wanted to discuss the possibility
of restructuring the VIP organization with you.
It is my feeling the two committees should be combined into a single committee which would
direct and oversee the VIP program. Please advise me as to how you wish to proceed on this
matter.
Performance Based Budaet Implementation.
As you are aware, in 1993, Council agreed to change the format of the municipal budget to
incorporate a "performance based budget." The philosophy of performance based budgeting is
that the customers' needs and desires help establish service levels. Each department is expected
to maintain its service levels without additional funding. Department Heads are encouraged to
use resources as efficiently as possible, and any savings resulting from efficiencies, without a
decrease in service levels, is allowed to be retained by the department. The Town of Vail
established a policy whereby each department would retain 90% of savings, with 10% reverting
to the Town Manager's office to be used at his discretion. Council will recall the savings from
1993 will be a 1994 Supplemental Appropriation.
As indicated previously, this budget process was implemented in FY 1994. We are in the process
of implementing the specific provisions of this budget. In FY 1993, approximately $300,000 in
savings occurred in the General Fund. Accordingly, 90% was returned to the Department Heads
for their use.
In order to comply the State Municipal Fiscal Procedures Act, it will be necessary for the Council
to approve expenditures from these savings through Supplemental Appropriations. It is our
intention to bring these supplementals to the Council on a quarterly basis. Please note that in
order for the this budget process to function properly, these funds will have been expended prior
to Council's Supplemental Appropriation.
