Continued Discussion Re: Town of Vail Mission/Vision/Goals. Bob McLaurin 3:00 P.M. 2. Public input and discussion re: Design of the Covered Greg Hall Bridge project in joint session with the Design Review Board. Larry Grafel Consultants Action Requested of Council: Receive public input, discuss the project with the DRB, TOV's design consultants, and staff. Provide final direction on which way project shall proceed. Backaround Rationale: The DRB and staff agreed to investigate the integrity of the wood. Staff hired a wood expert to perform the work. The core samples indicate the wooden portions of the structure are sound. The DRB's unanimous recommendation was to clean the bridge up regarding abutments, utilities, and bank erosion, leaving the actual structure unchanged for historical purposes. This structure would then be placed on the new superstructure, designed by TOV's structural engineer. Council, during the DRB report regarding the Covered Bridge, instructed staff to look at ways of enhancing the structure. This included adding features which would make it more Alpine. There has - been little public input into this issue, and, considering the historical reference point of the ,Gore Creek Pedestrian Bridge, staff feels this project requires further discussion. Staff Recommendation: Design project consistent with the DRB recommendations. 4:20 P.M. 3. Staging of the Covered Bridge Building /License Agreement Tom Moorhead Mike Mollica Action Reauested of Council: Review Licensing Agreement which Greg Hall provides for developer staging the construction off of TOV pocket park and, in consideration, permitting TOV to use• crane for renovation of Covered Bridge. Background Rationale: The pocket park appears to be the only available area from which to stage construction. Staff Recommendation: Approve Agreement. 5:20 P.M. 4. Discussion re: Chapel Bridge project. Larry Grafel Action Reauested of Council: Receive approval to proceed with Contract award. Backaround Rationale: PW has completed design of bridge and has received bids from four contractors. All bids were over the engineer estimate. We will negotiate on as many quantity/item differences to reduce bid amounts. We can do project if we take some money from another Capital Project. Staff Recommendation: That we take money difference from 1 another Capital Project and proceed with award of Contract. 5:35 P.M. 4. Request for Proposals (RFP), Vail Commons Development. Mike Mollica Kristan Pritz Action Requested of Council: Review the draft RFPs included in your packet. Provide comments and feedback to staff as necessary. Backaround Rationale: Staff is proposing the RFP be issued on April 15, 1994, with an RFP submittal deadline of May 16, 1994. 6:35 P.M. 5. PEC Report. Kristan Pritz 6:55 P.M. 6. DRB Report.

The Mission and Vision documents have been revised to incorporate Council's latest suggestions. As I indicated to you last week, the Goals and Objectives document has been revised in order to simplify the goals and to separate the task specific items. It is my understanding that the purpose of the Work Session is for Council to prioritize them in some manner. There are two ways for you to proceed on this matter. The first assumes some goals are more important than others. With this format, Council would need to prioritize all the goals. You would then need to prioritize the objectives within each goal area as well. The second approach assumes all the goals are of equal importance. In other words, housing is as important as transportation and infrastructure, etc. With this approach, Council would need only to prioritize the objectives within each goal area. It is my recommendation you use this approach. When Council has finished prioritizing the goals, we will put them into a resolution so they can be formally adopted and become official policy. The work plan is still in the draft form and will be completed when Council finishes its work on the goals and objectives. When all the departments have completed their Departmental Improvement Process workshops, we intend to incorporate the various department "action plans" into this document as well.

The intent is to enhance the bridge's character so it is more consistent with Vail's design standards. • Add a cupola at the ridge line. (Either in the center or at either end.) A cupola could function as a skylight to increase daylight at the center of the bridge. Add decorative weather vanes. (Could be done without the cupolas.) A cupola might compete visually with the clock tower. • Extend and angle the roof line at each end of the bridge. • Increase the dimensions of the wood framing at the ends of the bridge so the profile is more in scale with the remainder of the structure. Add wood carvings to the structure. A carved handrail inside the bridge (similar to the Gateway Building's). Carvings at the peak of the roof at one or both ends. Replace the bollards (if kept) with carved totems. • Hang flower boxes (four to six per side) on the outside of the bridge. Maintenance a concern. • Add scalloped facia boards to the eves. • Add a scalloped trim piece to the roof ridge line. • Enclose ends of bridge where possible. c: \wpdocs\cbridge.mem f ~ lip ~ ~.r l 1 1 ~l _ ~j i tJ _ ; rte. ~ ~~l ~.1 _ -1 i 1 ~ , r ~ ~ ~:~i - _ t ~ `1 U REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Vail Commons Development Town of Vail, Colorado April 5, 1994 I. INTRODUCTION The Town of Vail Department of Community Development is soliciting proposals from qualified development teams to assist the Town of Vail staff with the master planning of the Vail. Commons parcel. We believe a qualified development team would consist of architects, landscape architects, urban designers, transporation engineers, and real estate, economic and financial analysts. The primary goal of this Request For Proposals (RFP) is to hire an interdisciplinary consultant team to assist the Town in the development of appropriate design guidelines, a description of desired uses, a list of the transporation related issues, a conceptual analysis of the site planning issues, and an economic feasibility study for the Vail Commons parcel. Through the planning process, it is intended that the community and Council would build agreement on how the property should be developed. Upon completion of this project, the Town would provide the results of the effort to developers interested in building the project. Interested developers would be asked to submit proposals to the Town. Once a final selection is made, the development team would construct the project. The Town of Vail is located in an alpine environment at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Thirty years ago, the Vail Valley was an undeveloped mountain meadow. Today, Vail has approximately four thousand permanent residents with accommodations for up to thirty thousand guests. The Vail ski area can accommodate over 1.5 million skiers per year, which does not include the increasingly popular summer season. According to the most recently updated development statistics (January 1994), the Town is approximately 86.4% built-out with regard to residential zoning. Vail is at a pivotal point in its history as it tries to balance the needs of the community with the demands of a resort. In 1993, the Vail Town Council purchased the 6.6 acre Vail Commons parcel. The site is relatively flat and with the exception of scrub vegetation, there are no trees or shrubs on the site. The parcel is located between Chamonix Lane to the north and the North Frontage Road and Interstate 70 to the south. There are residential lots (some of which are developed) located on the north side of Chamonix Lane. These lots are zoned Primary/Secondary. The property to the west, which includes the Safeway grocery store and the Vail Das Schone retail shopping center, is zoned Commercial Core III. The Brandess Building (retail/office mix) is located to the southeast of the site, and is also zoned Commercial Core III. To the northwest of this site are additional Primary/Secondary zoned residential properties. Excerpts from the Town's Zoning Code, specifically the regulations for the Commercial Core III and Primary/Secondary zone districts, are attached to this RFP. To facilitate the review of the Vail Commons project, and to assist in the selection of the development team, the Town has created a Vail Commons Task Force. This Task Force consists of one member of the Vail Town Council, one member of the Vail Planning and Environmental Commission, the Town Manager, one member of the Vail Housing Authority, two representatives from the Department of Community Development, two representatives from the Public Works Department and one representative from the community at large. This team will select the consultant team and will review the consultant's work prior to presenting it to Town Boards and Council for adoption. , 1 y ~l II. CONSULTANTS SCOPE OF SERVICES The main areas to be addressed in this RFP include market feasibility, economic/financial analysis, and site program analysis. It is recognized that the following scope of services is not all inclusive. While a general work program is outlined in this RFP, the Town of Vail is relying on the consultant team to propose a more specific work program as deemed necessary to complete the goals of this project. The consultant team is encouraged to propose any additional steps that need to be taken to complete this study. Creative, innovative and cost effective solutions to this development project are strongly encouraged. The Town's initial concept for the development of the Vail Commons site would generally be categorized as a mixed-use project, with an emphasis on commercial activities. The Town is interested in providing for a variety of commercial-type uses, employee ("affordable") housing, a day-care facility, a possible West Vail Fire Station, parking and recreation and open space areas. The following are what the Town considers to be the minimum level of analysis necessary to accomplish the goals of this project, and the following tasks are outlined to give bidders a sense of the scope of work associated with this project: A. Preliminary Work 1. Review the Town's Land Use Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Recreation Trails Master Plan and general zoning/development standards. Review the aerial photography, topographic survey, and title report for the Vail Commons site (to be provided by the Town). Review site plans of surrounding properties. Review soils test and geologic analysis. Develop a base map of the existing conditions, identifying any potential environmental and site constraints and opportunities. 2. All base maps should be provided at a minimum scale of 1 "=20'. The design team shall consider existing land uses and development, and transportation patterns within a 1/4 mite circumference of this site. A vicinity map should be provided by the consultant team, at a minimum scale of 1 "=100'. The Town can provide copies of aerial photographs of this area at a scale of 1 "=100'. , 3. It is strongly recommended that the consultant team immediately begin preliminary discussions with the Colorado Department of Transportation to determine any potential improvements which may be required, as a result of the development of the Vail Commons site, to the North Frontage Road. The North Frontage Road is maintained by, and falls under the jurisdiction of, the State of Colorado Department of Transportation. B. Site and Program Analysis The site analysis should address the standard considerations relative to any similar type of mixed-use development project (i.e. transportation and circulation, pedestrian access, parking, zoning/development standards; architectural style, landscape 2 considerations, etc.). In addition, the site analysis should address local concerns such as views, design guidelines, and an assessment of any potential impacts on existing and adjacent uses surrounding the site. Preliminary architectural drawings or character sketches, as necessary, to provide a suitable site analysis should then be generated _ from this programmatic analysis. C. Market Feasibility The primary purpose of the market analysis is to establish the anticipated market demand, and to identify a list of potential uses for the Vail Commons site. It is important that this analysis include a competitive analysis with both the existing adjacent uses and comparable uses in the Valley. The market potential for the proposed uses should be clearly identified and the market analysis should address competition from other communities, (i.e. Avon, Minturn, Edwards, Eagle). D. Economic/Financial Analysis The Town is desirous of a comprehensive assessment of the economic and financial considerations relative to development on the Vail Commons parcel. The financial analysis should include, but not be limited to, infra-structure cost estimates, operational and maintenance expenses, anticipated revenue, anticipated economic benefits to the Town resulting from projected sales tax collection, job generation, estimated costs and recommendations for marketing the site, and an overall cost/benefit analysis. The Town would also like to see an analysis of alternative financing options for this development. A detailed financial analysis must be provided for the implementation of the master plan. Alternative "roles" for the Town of Vail to participate in the development of the site should be provided, with the emphasis placed on public/private partnerships. It is recognized that certain specific elements of the overall analysis may vary from the manner in which they are presented under the above headings. For example, the programmatic analysis may be incorporated into the economic/financial analysis. It is not the intention of the Town to dictate the structure of the consultant team's work program by the manner in which the specific elements of this study have been delineated. The Town wishes to provide the consultant team with enough latitude to structure the elements within the study such that the overall analysis is focused in a manner which allows for the final report and presentation to be made in a clear and concise format. The consultant team selected for this project will work closely with the Vail Commons Task Force. While it is the desire of the Town to be actively involved in the development of this study, the role of the Town staff and the Task Force will be primarily to provide the consultant with information and direction, as necessary to complete this project. In addition to information and resources provided by the Town staff, the consultant team will be responsible for gathering input, as necessary, from other interested individuals or entities within the Town. 3 III. PUBLIC REVIEW PROCESS The consultant team should anticipate scheduling and facilitating two community/neighborhood meetings. The Town would recommend that the initial meeting be held before beginning any . of the detailed analysis, in order for the consultant team to fully understand the concerns and issues of the neighborhood and community. It is anticipated that the second community/neighborhood meeting occur upon the completion of the conceptual designs and economic analyses. It is also anticipated that three joint Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC)/Town Council worksession hearings will be held. The consultant team will-be requested to facilitate these meetings and present their analysis to the boards. The consultant team should also anticipate meeting with individuals having significant interest in the project, such as adjacent business owners and residents. Additionally, the consultant team should anticipate attending approximately three to four meetings with the Vail Commons Task Force, at various times during the development of the project. A final presentation would be made to the community and Council on the project results. Accordingly, plans and documents will need to be revised as necessary to assimilate input received at any of these meetings. IV. PREPARATION OF FINAL REPORT The consultant team will analyze all data and information compiled through their research and . prepare a written report which outlines their findings and recommendations relative to the scope of services. The final report should include a thorough description of the project, a summary of the site analysis (written and graphic), a written record summarizing the public input, a discussion of the market feasibility and recommended uses, a detailed analysis of the economic and financial considerations, and a detailed summary including the recommended actions and prioritization of the recommended actions. As stated above, formal presentations will be made by the consultant team to the Town Council and PEC following the completion of the analysis. The final report and presentation should provide the Town with concise and comprehensive recommendations as to the overall feasibility of the development of the Vail Commons site. V.

To date, staff has not been able to find a section of the Code that would fully address this Council concern. Recently, Code Section 17.16.250 was given to the Council. This section of the Code is used for major subdivisions. It has not been used with construction projects such as the Sonnenalp, the Christiania, etc. The staff does have a section in the Design Review Guidelines which allows us to obtain a bond or letter of credit to cover landscaping, site improvements, and the paving of parking areas once a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is requested. Please see the attached Section 18.54.110. To my knowledge, the Town of Vail has not required a builder or developer to bond or provide a letter of credit to cover the cost of construction for a project other than a major subdivision. If you have additional questions about this issue, please let me know. 1 3;..5/94 Council: In re: the further question posed at Tuesday's workse`sid~, I have included the ode cite t outli the o ss~for gu antee' g ull c ple on of proje A a examp e, t s req i ent as een s,ed r th fol wi proj'ects, as we a oth rs: Son enalp, Chr tia 'a, Ga_tew ~ I, Sp d ~ e Cree Simba; ere Brid Fores len Subd ion. .

No permits shad be issued, or said permits may be withdrawn, if any project proceeds or attempts to proceed not in conformance with either the approved EIR or the final plat and associated material as approved. (Ord. 2(1983) § 1 (part).) 17.16.250 Guarantee for completion and maintenance of f~r~n'' improvements.. ~~r-_<~ A written agreement between the town and the subdivider shall be required in order to guarantee the construction and ~ - maintenance of required improvements. Said agreement shall cover one hundred percent of the current estimated cost of the improvements at the time they are to be installed as computed by the town engineer and approved by the town manager. The agreement shall provide all information necessary to allow the town engineer to formulate an estimate. The guarantee shall be in the form of a cash escrow with the town, or a bank or savings and loan association; or an irrevocable sight draft or letter of commitment from a financially responsible lender; and shall give the town the unconditional right, upon default by the subdivider to withdraw funds upon demand to partially or fully complete and / or pay for any improvements or pay any outstanding bills for work done thereon by any party. The subdivider shall also agree to warranty all improvements for a period of one year after acceptance by the town. No building permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued within the subdivision if said agreement is in default until th;e deficiencies are corrected. The agreement shall be recorded along with the final plat. (Ord. 2(1983) ~ 1 (part).) 17.16.270 Improvements -Inspection required.

Chuck Parson, the sculpture, is proposing to create a poem on Vail Mountain. The words of the poem would be carved into the snow. Although a specific site has not been selected, at the meeting it was discussed that the back bowls, Category III, or possibly Golden Peak would be good sites for the project. I have enclosed information from the meeting. In general, people in attendance were supportive of the project. Vail Associates agreed to bring the artist up on the mountain to look at some potential sites. The next meeting is planned for May 6, 1994 at 11:00 a.m. at the Vail Valley Foundation Conference Room. If you have any questions, please contact Sybil or myself. (1~ ~ ~~r~~ J 1 ' (i I Proposal for Temporary Site~pecific Art Event by Charles Parson ©1994 "This is the essence of the West; the grandeur of nature, the insignificance of human beings. (Treat cities have sprung up all over the region, but between them lie vast stretches of magnificent wilderness . ...and the spirit of the Wild West is still alive. 'excerpt from L/FEMAGAZINE 1993, April Issue Charles Parson "DISSOLVE" ©1994 t "Fade away dissolve, and quite forget what thou among the leaves halt never known" from Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats DISSOLVE ...involves the creation of an art experience for the casual passerby, but will become a destination point over several weeks as word of its existence becomes known. John Keat's poem Ode to a Nightingale is to be carved into a mountain side of snow. Gradually, the words will melt into the slope and provide observers with an engaging and ever-changing visual presentation. The major thrust of the work is to visually, physically, literally and symbolically blend a written poem with the natural poetry of the landscape, bringing attention not only to the specific beauty of the surroundings but to the beauty of time through transition from one season to the next. The viewers hopefully will be left with a memory of the process, the natural process of change and a sense of involvement in attempting to ascertain when the poem melts into the mountain and the event is over. This is amulti-dimensional Art Event in which an individual artist, a poem from the past and a community of the future merge with government agencies, private businesses, the arts community, the entertainment/tourist industry and local residents. All have opportunities to participate in a celebration of the majesty and scale of the Rocky Mountains. " Charles Parson "DISSOLVE" ©1994 Marketing • A nationally profiled event. . • A positive, celebratory art and environmental statement. Procedure • Use of environmentally sound methods and equipment. • Development of preliminary drawings. • Surveying the site of the event. • Computer composites of actual mountain side. • After testing, sculpt letters with light duty Bobcat tractor. Each letter form final dimension 20' x 20'. • Ridge of snow created around edges of letters, interior carved out. • Natural melting and additional snowfall will advance or delay the natural depletion of snow in the thinnest layers. Ultimately the grass will be exposed as some snow will stay around the perimeter. Funding • Developed from individual and private sector businesses upon acceptance of proposal to community. • Approximate costs at this time: $25,000. • In kind donations of housing, equipment, expertise, food and advertising will also be sought. Charles Parson "DISSOLVE" ©1994 ~ = Proposed Schedule 1994-Late Spring • Agreement to proceed. _ Specific drawings created (of Vail slopes). • Initial contacts to seek appropriate permissions from private, city, state and federal agencies. • Formulation of contracts. • Insurance requirements and agreements. • Establishment of funding search. • Establishment of in-kind services. • Beginning of marketing approach. • General facilitation of artist's concerns by agent Peggy Mangold; ARTYARD, Denver. • Site-specific drawings for both development of work as well as ARTYARD sponsored poster; possible collaboration with Vail based group. • Photos of melting of slopes from April.l5-June 15 on weekly basis to ascertain melting patterns and time factors. • Measuring; rough summertime blockouts. • Tests; on-site and studio based. • Safety checks; Parson crew analysis; on-site visits. • Possible introduction to community to integrate idea into culture of the coming year. 1994-Fall • Pre-ski dry land and landmark measuring. • Publicity photos. • Support systems for team confirmed (housing, food, schedule). • Publicity program either independently or tandem activated. • Funding confirmed; accessed. • Permissions confirmed. • Insurance confirmed. • Poster developed and printed. • Presentation to City and community of final plans. • Documentation scheduled. • Arts Council agreements. • Equipment confirmed; adaptive arms fabricated. • Maintenance program confirmed. • Date set to start project. 1995-Spring • 10 day advance preparation for installation. • Weather contingencies. • Approximate construction date is immediately after ski season is over. cnar~es Parson "DISSOLVE" ©1994 Charles Parson 2551 Brentwood Lakewood, Colo. 80215 303 / 238 - 2706 SELECTED INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITIONS EDUCATION ' 1994 Loveland Art Museum, Loveland, Colorado, Twilight of the 1970-72 Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Individual Space, drawings, wall constructions, sculptures.

Amendment 12 is the statewide ballot initiative on election and other issues authored by Douglas Bruce which will appear on the November 1994 ballot. Also enclosed is the text of the measure. Please feel fee to share it with other municipal officials in your community. Undoubtedly, there will be additional information and interpretations develop as the text of this complicated and ambiguous initiative is further analyzed. i ,y, CML Colorado Municipal League 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100 • Denver, Colorado 8026~t-2101 • Phone (303) 831-6411, FAX (303) 860-8175 ' MEMORANDUM To: CML Executive Board From: Geoff Wilson, General Counsel Re: Election Reform Amendment Initial Outline of Provisions with Preliminary Comments Date: March 15, 1994 The "Election Reform Amendment" (ERA) will appear on the November 1994 statewide general election ballot as Amendment No. 12. This wide ranging proposal would create a new Section 2 in Article VII of the Colorado Constitution. Amendment 12 contains a hodgepodge of provisions addressing a myriad of issues; much in the proposal is subject to varied and uncertain interpretation. What follows is an introductory overview of the major provisions in Amendment 12, together with some preliminary observations. My object was not to address each and every aspect of the ERA, nor to anticipate all issues that may be presented by every provision. Further analysis will undoubtedly identify numerous additional issues, ambiguities and consequences of Amendment 12. I strongly suggest a close reading of every line of this complex amendment (attached). A. General Provisions (Subsection (1)) * The "required" application of the ERA "shall reasonably strengthen citizen control of government the most. All provisions are self-executing and severable and supersede conflicting state constitutional, state statutory, charter, or other state or local provisions. " The amendment would thus repeal by implication a wide array of constitutional and statutory provisions, particularly in the area of initiative, referendum and recall. Additionally, the amendment would supersede a variety of "home rule" municipal charter provisions that voters have adopted pursuant to their constitutionally reserved authority to govern their affairs locally as they see fit. * The amendment permits enforcement suits to be filed by individuals, classes, or districts, "within three years of an event." Successful plaintiffs may recover costs and reasonable attorneys fees, but defendants may not unless the suit is ruled . ' frivolous. Thus the amendment encourages private "enforcement" suits by permitting recovery of the private plaintiffs' litigation expenses. By contrast, public litigation expenses, that is, the taxpayers' money that is spent defending against these enforcement suits, cannot be recovered unless the suit is found to be frivolous. , B. Definitions (Subsection (2)) Subsection (2) of the amendment contains a number of important definitions. Several of these definitions are specifically referenced later in this memo as part of the discussion of the section of the amendment in which the defined term is used. However, a couple of the definitions in Subsection (2) deserve particular note here. * "Ballot issue" is defined as "ANY pending state or local refereed measure or non- recall petition as soon as a ballot title is initially set; and on ANY SUB.TECT OR SUB.TECTS i'VHATSOEVER for purposes of this section and Article X, Section 20." (Emphasis as set forth in the Amendment 12 text.) Read in conjunction with Section 20 (3)(a) of the TABOR Amendment, the effect of this definition will be to delay public votes and suspend community action on a wide variety of land use, public safety and other issues by eliminating all local government special elections on dates other than those specified in TABOR. Conversely, all amendments to the state constitution and statutes would be subject to elections held in November of odd numbered years, in addition to the scheduled general election in November of even-numbered years. The term "ballot issue" is also used throughout Amendment 12 including, notably, in Sections 5(a) and (b), which suppress public officials and employees discussion, analysis or other activity with respect to ballot issues and penalize organizations of public entities or employees that provide information concerning, or participate in campaigns with respect to ballot issues (see paragraphs F and G of this memo). * "District" is defined as "the state or any local government, including enterprises, authorities, and all its other activities." The ERA definition of "district" is thus much broader than the now familiar TABOR Amendment definition of this term, which excludes "enterprises." The Amendment provides no further elaboration of what is meant by "authorities" or . "all its other activities" (for example, the antecedent of "its" in the foregoing clause is not at all clear). The term "district" is used throughout Amendment 12; thus the breadth of this definition will have profound importance for the reach of the Amendment, should it be adopted by the voters in November of 1994. For example, Subsection (6)(a) extends the initiative, referendum and recall power to "all districts as to district matters." C. Limits on Elected Officials Compensation (Subsection (3), Entitled "Pay Raises") * Subsection (3) provides in part that "[c]ompensation changed after 1994 may ' . exceed its 1988 level only by district voter approval, or by inflation, as defined 2 in Article X, Section 20, after 1994. Compensation first set, or voter approved, • from 1989 to 1994 shall use that level and year as a base. A governing body ' shall use its combined compensation." * "Compensation" is defined in Subsection (2)(c) as "the district cost in salary, payroll, fringe benefits and travel accounts, and any cash payments and reimbursements to an elected official." Note that no allowance is made for circumstances where, for example, a sudden increase in travel expenses is legitimately incurred by a public entity's elected officials. D. Income Tax Credit for "Donations" by "Human Beings" to Certain Political Committees (Subsection (4)(a)) * Subsection (4)(a) provides that "new" campaign committees may pledge to the Secretary of State to take donations only from "human beings." The amendment then provides that "human beings" making cash gifts to such committees may claim a state income tax credit for the lesser of a specified dollar amount or the amount of the total annual cash gifts to all such committees. The credit may not carry forward to subsequent tax years nor exceed income tax liability. The credit "shall be listed on all future state income tax returns and adjust yearly for inflation or more." Whereas the TABOR definition of "inflation" is referenced in Subsection (3), no definition of inflation is provided in Subsection (4). What is meant by the requirement that the credit adjust yearly for inflation "or more"? E. Limits on Acceptance of "Donations" from Specified Individuals or Groups (Subsection (4) (b)) * The amendment provides that "district candidates or elected officials or their campaign committees shall not accept any donation with a retail value over $50 per calendar year per donor from any utility with rates or service regulated by that district, from any group receiving over 5 % of its annual gross receipts from that district, or from a business group, corporation, employee group, union, political action committee other than a political party, or paid lobbyist who is not a relative. " * Note that, although Subsection (4) is entitled "Campaign Contributions," it's application may reach well beyond what are ordinarily considered campaign contributions. The language of Subsection (4)(b) restricts donations to "elected officials," as well as "district candidates." Thus, the limitations of Subsection • (4)(b), azguably, are not restricted to "donations" incident to an election or re- election effort. 3 * "Donation" is defined in Subsection (2)(e) as "cash or cash equivalents, loans, or substitute purchases, but not contributions in kind or services." The amendment does not define "cash equivalents," "substitute purchases," "contributions in kind," or "services." Note also that "donation" is not defined to encompass only contributions or gifts incident to an election or re-election campaign. * The campaign finance "reforms" in Amendment 12 are conspicuous for what is not covered. There is no restriction, for example, on the amount of money that district candidates or their campaign committees may accept from wealthy individuals. This omission, combined with the Amendment's limitation on acceptance of donations from groups, will enhance wealthy individuals' opportunity to "buy" elections. There are no dollar restrictions on acceptance of in-kind contributions from political committees or from any other source. The measure does not prevent contributions from being funneled through the political parties and does not include any reporting requirements or enforcement provisions concerning such contributions. F. Penalty for ®rganizations of Public Entities or Employees that Provide Information Concerning, or Participate in Campaigns with Respect to Ballot Issues (Subsection (a)) * The amendment provides that no districts shall "belong or donate, directly or indirectly, to any organization of districts or district employees that hereafter uses its name, or its paid employee time, material, mailing or other resources with a retail value over $50 per calendar year, to support or oppose, or to create or distribute material discussing, a ballot issue." * This provision is obviously intended to exclude a wide array of public entity and employee organizations from engaging in political speech concerning ballot issues. Note that, unlike Subsection (5)(b), this provision is not intended as a restriction on expenditure of public funds in ballot issue campaigns; rather, it is intended to exclude from the political debate a certain class of organizations. Presumably, the proponents of Amendment 12 would prefer that voters not see or hear the particular information or opinions that this type of organization might present. * Note also that these targeted organizations pay the membership penalty prescribed in Subsection (5)(a) even if they do not engage in advocacy; the penalty is imposed if these organizations merely "create or distribute material discussing" a ballot issue. * Since "ballot issue" is defined in Subsection (2)(a) as including any measure once the ballot title is set, this limitation will begin to apply quite early in the ballot ' . issue process. 4 * This portion of the amendment may have profound defects as a violation of the ' free speech and equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution. r. G. Suppression of Public Officials and Employees Discussion, Analysis or Other Activity with Respect to Ballot Issues (Subsection (5) (b) and (c)) * The amendment provides that no elected official or district employee may use district paid employee time or materials with a retail value of over $50 per calendar year to "create or distribute material discussing a ballot issue, except for election or judicial processes or notices, for public meeting facility costs, or for legal duties other than ballot issue analysis." * This prohibition could prevent and district analysis of and reports on ballot issues, even for the district's own internal use, if such analysis or report is prepared at public expense (again, note the exceedingly broad definition of "district" in Subsection (2)(d)). This provision would make illegal preparation of materials such as the Legislative Council's "Blue Book," which gives a factual summary of ballot issues and contains arguments for and against the proposals. Thus, this prohibition would go well beyond the familiar restrictions in the Colorado Campaign Reform Act (1-45-101, C.R.S. et sec on use of public funds for advocacy in connection with ballot issues. The impetus for this limitation is that analysis of pending ballot proposals prepared for internal use by government officials, as public documents, occasionally 'end up being reported in the newspapers. Since these newspaper stories are at times not favorable towards the ballot issue, the Amendment 12 proponents' "solution" to this "problem" is to simply prohibit any internal analyses of pending ballot proposals from being done in the first place. * No elected official shall vote for a resolution or statement "referring directly or indirectly" to a ballot issue. This practice is currently expressly authorized in the Colorado Campaign Reform Act at 1-45-116(1)(b)(III). H. Penalties; Limitation on Publicly >h~nded Defense of Alleged Violators (Subsection 5(d)) * Each "willful violator" of the limitation on receipt of "donations" in Subsection (4)(b) or the limitations in Subsection (5) shall be liable for "$5,000 each to the district and to the opposing campaign committees as a group, and jointly and • ~ severally liable to both for the retail value of district costs, savings by use of district resources, and illegal donations." 5 * The amendment further provides that "direct or indirect repayment or legal aid with district funds is also a violation." Note that the prohibition of legal aid with district funds is not limited to those charged with "willful" violations of Sections (4)(b) or (5); a--~ legal aid (which would, of course, include a publically funded defense) is stated as a separate violation of the Amendment. This remarkable provision would mean that public employees could not receive a publically funded legal defense even when thev are subsequently found to have not committed the alleeed offense. Apparently, whenever a complaint alleging a violation of ERA is filed, the public official would be obliged to retain counsel and pay for his or her own defense out of personal, private funds. * Since, under our system of justice, one is presumed innocent until proven guilty, this prohibition amounts to a ban on use of public funds to defend the innocent. This provision is apparently premised on the assumption that ,if one is accused, one must have done something wrong. Obviously, Subsection (5)(d) could have a profound adverse effect on the willingness of citizens to engage in public service in Colorado. * Finally, Subsection (5)(d) provides that the penalties set forth in the Subsection are "mandatory and not suspendable" and that "[o]beying a supervisor or elected official is no defense, nor is ignorance" of the requirements of the amendment. The latter limitation may prove to be particularly harsh, since ambiguity in many provisions of ERA makes good faith ignorance of its requirements a distinct possibility. I. Provisions Relating to Petition Procedures, Including Recall (Subsection ~ Over half of the total ERA text is taken up with a variety of proposed changes to initiative, referendum and recall procedures. This portion of the amendment contains some of the most dramatic changes proposed. ~ Set forth below is a sampling and overview of some of these changes; however, as with the rest of ERA, there is no real substitute for a close reading of each and every line of this section of the amendment. Exuanded Use of Initiative. Referendum and Recall Podvers * "Petition powers" are extended to "all districts as to district matters." Note that "petition" is defined in Subsection (2)(g) as including an initiative, referendum or recall process. This provision would thus extend the initiative and referendum power (presently possessed only by state and municipal voters) to school district, county and special district voters. These powers are further extended to a huge . ; array of other entities, since "district" is defined in Subsection (2)(d) as including, in addition to the state and any local government, "enterprises, authorities" and all "other activities" of the foregoing (what "other activities" means or might ~ ' encompass in this context is not at all clear). 6 * Many of the entities that would be subject to initiative and referendum have ' heretofore neither conducted elections nor maintained voter lists. It is unclear how this new authority would be~implemented in these jurisdictions, particularly since, under Section 6(d) of the amendment, changes in the initiative, referendum and recall laws to facilitate this new power would require voter approval. What happens if the voters don't approve the requisite procedures? Whatever the answer to this and the many other questions presented by this section of the Amendment, it is clear that taxpayers will be expected to pay for a huge increase in ballot title settings, title challenges, petition printing and validation, petition challenges, appeals, elections and other associated costs. * Amendment 12's application of the initiative and referendum power to "district matters" could create ambiguity and uncertainty as to whether the initiative power will continue to extend only to "legislative" matters (as is presently the case) or will instead be extended to anY district matter, including administrative or budget matters, for example. This uncertainty may be heightened by the fact that Section (6)(b) provides that "appropriations for district support and maintenance are exempt from referendum petitions." Does this mean that all other "district matters" are subject to referendum (or initiative), and that appropriations could be initiated? Initiative Ballot Title Setting * The amendment prescribes a very tight timeframe for setting of initiative petition ballot titles and allows state district courts to set a ballot title for any petition. Initiative ballot titles may be appealed to the Supreme Court within five days after they are set and the amendment directs that the Supreme Court shall decide any such appeal within 10 days. With the initiative power being conferred on a huge new universe of "districts," this portion of the amendment could result in large numbers of title challenges reaching the Supreme Court at certain times of the year. The extent to which this might impair the Court's ability to conduct other business is uncertain. * Present law requires the Title Board for statewide ballot issues to prepare a "clear, concise summary" of the proposed law or constitutional amendment, and include in the summary an estimate of the state and local fiscal impact of the_ proposed measure. Amendment 12 would prohibit the Title Board from providing voters with these summaries and estimates of fiscal impact. 7 Taxnaver finding of Private Petitioners * Governments (i.e. taxpayers) are' required to print and deliver "at their own expense" petitions in a quantity providing signature lines for at least twice the minimum required signatures within 10 days after a final title setting. Currently, petition advocates pay their own printing expenses. Amendment 12 would force taxpayers to pick up additional initiative costs that are now borne by private party initiative proponents; Subsection (6)(c) provides that "[p]etitioners or their agents shall be charged no fee or bond for any process, requirement, or document related to their petition; nor for district documents or data, to be provided within two district business days of a written request, that may help restore any invalidated entry or petition." The legalization of paid petition circulators in Colorado will result in the initiative process being increasingly used by well healed special interest groups to circumvent the deliberative process of state or local legislative bodies. These sections of Amendment 12 would mean that these special interest groups will receive considerable taxpayer support in their efforts. Petition Signature Requirements * Petition signature requirements are set at "5 % of the number of district votes for all candidates for the Secretary of State in the last election for that office, except local recall signatures shall not exceed 8 % in a represented area. " This is not a change in the signature requirement for state initiative and referendum petitions. However, it is a substantial reduction in the permitted signature number ceiling applicable to municipal initiatives and referenda, which under Article V, Section 1(9) of the Colorado Constitution may presently not exceed 10 % of all registered electors for the referendum nor 15% of all registered electors in the jurisdiction for the initiative. As to recall of local or state officers, this signature requirement constitutes a dramatic change. The current signature requirement for such officers' recall is a number equal to 25 % of the number of votes cast in the preceding election for all candidates for the office which the incumbent sought to be recalled occupies (see Sections 24-9.5-102 and 31-4-501, C.R.S. and Colo. Const., Article XXI, Sections 1 and 4). * The amendment proposes a very short timeframe for any petition signature protest, and petitioners are then given up to 10 days after any final decision on a signature protest "to file corrections and new entries or petitions signed at any time" (thus, the "cure" signatures may be gathered prior to the declaration of insufficiency as to those petitions already submitted). Further, the amendment provides that any petition upon which a signature protest is filed shall stay on the ballot during the pendency of the signature challenge. s * The ability to challenge and invalidate fraudulent signatures is .dramatically impaired by Amendment 12. Petitions or signature entries may be found invalid by election officers only if "invalid on their face. " Districts and private protestors to signatures must itemize and file their protests within ten days of petition filing and have the "burdens of production and proof beyond a reasonable doubt." A person signing a verified or notarized petition is presumed to be a registered elector whose signature is valid until disproves. The effect of these portions of the ERA will be to prevent state and local election officers from checking signatures on initiative, referendum or recall petitions against a registered voter list. Unless signatures are invalid on their face, such as the name "Mickey Mouse" (of course, this could be someone's real name ...)listing of a foreign address, or submission of signatures all written in the same handwriting, they must be presumed valid. The opportunity to check for fraudulent signatures will diminish and the ease with which initiative fraud can be used to corrupt the process will be dramatically increased. * The amendment provides that "affidavit errors or other variances shall be liberally construed to aid petitions." Recall of Tudges. and Other Officials * No elected official shall undergo more than one recall election per term and no campaign reimbursement is permitted. Present constitutional provisions and statutes do not bar multiple recall elections during a term of office and permit reimbursement of municipal officials' election expenses if they are not recalled and reimbursement is provided for by local ordinance. * The amendment provides that "[j]ustices and judges may be recalled, which would bar any future judicial position." This new authority should be considered in the context of other ERA sections that dramatically reduce the recall petition signature requirement and permit no reimbursement to officers who are not recalled. Note that Amendment 12 contains no requirement that a judge's recall be based on improper conduct in office. Thus, judges could be recalled over politically unpopular decisions that are entirely proper legally, such as decisions protecting the free speech rights of disfavored political minorities. Existing constitutional provisions already require periodic elections on retention of judges and permit discipline or removal of judges for, among other things, intemperance, willful misconduct or failure to perform duties. 9 Mandated Delavs and' Limitation on Emer~encv Enactments - * Only six district measures adopted in any calendar year may take effect immediately on adoption as "emergencies." All other measures are subject to the , requirement that "[s]tate measures open to referendum petition take effect no sooner than 91 days after that general assembly session finally adjourns, and such local measures no sooner than 91 days after final publication." In an emergency situation, jurisdictions pass numerous, statutes or ordinances that take effect immediately to address atl manner of circumstances as they arise. What happens once a jurisdiction exhausts its six emergency authorizations? * The limitation that ordinances may not take affect until (in essence) three months after adoption will, in itself, dramatically impair elected officials' ability to respond promptly to the wishes of their constituents. Further, the 91 day delay in effective dates should be considered in conjunction with the provision (also in Section (6)(b) of the amendment) that "'[a] petition with the required number of signatures filed before the 91st day delays the effective date until the election or a final decision of petition insufficiency." Since the amendment effectively limits elections on any ballot issue to the biennial local election date, the state general election date and the first Tuesday in November of odd-numbered years, the amendment will enable 5 % of the registered electors in a jurisdiction (a very small actual number in many communities) to use the referendum process to prevent an ordinance from taking effect for up to a year and three months. Assume, for example, that the effective date for a vicious dog ordinance in a statutory city is delayed for 91 days following publication, pursuant to the requirements of Amendment 12. If a referendum petition is filed by the local pit bull advocacy group on the 91st day after publication, and that day occurs shortly before or after the city's odd-year November election, the ordinance could not take effect until after the November election in the followine vear. By contrast, present statutory municipal ordinance referendum procedures provide that anon- emergency ordinance takes effect 30 days after passage and publication, unless a referendum petition is submitted within that time. If a petition is submitted, the ordinance is suspended from taking effect and the governing body reconsiders its action in adopting the ordinance. If the ordinance is not repealed, the governing body will submit the ordinance fo voters at an election held not less than 60, nor more than 150 days after the date on which the petition is filed. Calcification of Petition Laws and Measures Adouted or Re9ected at an Election * Changes in state petition laws or regulations adopted after 1988 without voter ' . approval are repealed. This broad provision would repeal substantial amendments to the state's initiative and referendum statutes made since 1988, primarily in , 1989 and 1993. For example, repealed statutes prohibit a person from knowingly ' signing more than one municipal petition for the same issue, signing a false name 10 to a municipal petition, or knowingly signing a municipal petition when one is not a registered voter of the municipality. * "Unless adopted as non-emergency measures within 90 days after the election ' approving this section, future state or local petition law or regulation changes require advance voter approval." This provision will require voter approval (and the attendant taxpayer expense) for even the most technical and mundane changes to initiative, referendum or recall procedures. * "Unless allowed therein, past or future voter-approved petitions shall not hereafter be amended, superseded, or repealed by elected officials." This provision could dramatically limit the opportunity governments have traditionally had to "flesh- out" ambiguities or omissions in voter approved measures. * The amendment provides that "measures or parts of measures" that have been rejected by voters may be fully or partially readopted only with voter approval. Miscellaneous Provisions * The amendment mandates that "[t]he 1988 state petition forms shall be used" in connection with any local district petition process, unless changed by district voters. As I am unaware of any 1988 state recall form, it is unclear what sort of recall form would be utilized at the local government level, should ERA be adopted. * The amendment provides that moving within a county shall not alter voter registration status. Does this mean that when a voter moves from, for example, one municipality to another in Jefferson County, that voter's registration status as an elector in their municipality of origin may not be changed? This provision could wreak havoc with use of voter registration in the administration of elections as a means to avoid fraud. * "Any non judicial district employee or elected official who willfully violates any petitioner right that is provided in [Subsection (6) of the ERA] shall be liable personally to the petition campaign committee for $5,000, as enforced in [Subsection (1) and (5)(d) of ERA].". Note that Subsection (5)(d) prohibits "legal aid with district funds" to anyone alleged to have violated ERA. t 11 Text of Amendment 12 -Election Reform Amendment Be it Enacted by the People of the State of Colorado: Article VII, Section 2 Election Reform. (1) General provisions. The required application of this section shall reasonably strengthen citizen control of government the most. All provisions are self-executing and severable and supersede conflicting state constitutional, state statutory, charter, or other state or local provisions. Individual, class action, or district enforcement suits may be filed within 3 years of an event. Factual issues are subject to a jury trial. Successful plaintiffs are allowed costs and reasonable attorney fees, but a defendant is not unless a suit be ruled frivolous. (2) Term definitions. (a) "Ballot issue" means ANY pending state or local refereed measure or non-recall petition as soon as a ballot title is initially set; and on ANY SUBTECT OR SUBIECTS WHATSOEVER for purposes of this section and Article X, Section 20. Within this section: (b) "Ballot title" means all language on a state or local ballot describing the contents of a specific ballot issue. (c) "Compensation" means the district cost in salary, payroll fringe benefits, expense and travel accounts, and any cash payments and reimbursements to an elected official. (d) "District" means the state or any local government, including enterprises, authorities, and all its other activities. (e) "Donation" includes cash or cash equivalents, loans, or substitute purchases, but not contributions in kind or services.. (f) "Elected official" means a state or local non judicial officer elected, appointed, or succeeding to an elective office. (g) "Petition" means an initiative, referendum, or recall process, measure, or signature document, as the context may show. (h) "Political party" means any group that nominates ballot candidates. (3) Pay raises. Compensation changed after 1994 may exceed its 1988 level only by district voter approval, or by inflation, as defined in Article X, Section 20, after 1994. Compensation first set, or voter-approved, from 1989 through 1994 shall use that level and year as a base. A governing body shall use its combined compensation. Without future district voter approval, district pensions for elected officials shall not include service after their current term, and any non-pension compensation partly or fully exempt from state or federal income tax shall end with their current term unless required by federal law. (4) Campaign contributions. (a) New local, state, or federal campaign committees may pledge to the secretary of state to take donations only from human beings. An unmarried human being, or married human beings filing a joint federal income tax return, shall receive a state income tax credit for the lesser sum of $100 or total annual cash gifts to all such pledging committees. For married human beings filing separately, the upper limit is $50. This credit shall not carry over to other tax years or exceed income tax liability. It shall be listed on all future state income tax returns and adjust yearly for inflation or more. (b) District candidates or elected officials or their campaign committees shall not accept any donation with a retail value over $50 per calendar year per donor from any utility with rates or service regulated by that district, from any group receiving over 5 °!o of its annual gross receipts from that district, or from a business group, corporation, employee group, union, political action committee other than a political party, or paid lobbyist who is not a relative. (5) Election protections. (a) No districts shall belong or donate, directly or indirectly, to any organization of districts or district employees that hereafter uses its name, or its paid employee time, material, mailings, or other resources with a retail value over $50 per calendar year, to support or oppose, or to create or distribute material discussing, a ballot issue. (b) No elected official or district employee shall use district paid employee time, material, mailings, or other resources with a retail 'value over $50 per calendar year to create or distribute material discussing a ballot issue, except for election or judicial processes or notices, for public meeting facility costs, or for legal duties other than ballot issue analysis. (c) No elected official shall vote for any district statement refemng directly or indirectly to a ballot issue. (d) Each willful violator of (4)(b) or (5) is liable for $5000 each to the district and to opposing campaign committees as a group, and jointly and severally liable to both for the retail value of district costs, savings by use of district resources, and illegal donations. Districts shall withhold half of their net payments and refunds to violators until all amounts are paid with 10 4o annual simple interest. Direct or indirect repayment or legal aid with district funds is also a violation. Penalties are mandatory and not suspendable. Obeying a supervisor or elected official is no defense, nor is ignorance of this law. (6) Petition protections. (a) The right to petition peaceably on district-owned property in a place then open to the public shall not ` be infringed. Petition powers shall apply in all districts as to district matters. Required district registered elector petition; signatures shall not exceed 5 % of the number of district votes for, all candidates for secretary of state in the last election for that office, except local recall ' signatures shall not exceed 8% in a represented area. Justices and judges may be recalled, which would bar any future judicial position. All recall ballots shall allow 250 words each for petitioners and the official. No official shall undergo more than one recall election per term, but districts shall make no campaign reimbursement. Petitions may be filed up to 9 months after district delivery of printed petitions. State non-recall petitions shall be filed by 3 months before the election. Valid state or local non-recall petitions filed after apre-election deadline shall be voted on in the following ballot issue election. Petition ballot titles shall not exceed 75 words. Initiative petition ballot title-settings shall allow public comment, be held within 7 days of a request, and end within 24 hours, but shall set no summary or financial comment. After 5 days public notice, any state district court may set a petition ballot title. Initiative petition ballot titles may be appealed to the supreme court within 5 days, and shall be decided within 10 days more. Districts shall print and deliver petitions at their expense within 10 days after final title setting in a quantity allowing at least twice the minimum number of required signers. Petitions shall not be affected by district errors in petition form, content, or ballot titles. Petitioners may also print petitions. No petitioner identity cards, badges, licensing, or registration shall be required. Paid and unpaid petitions shall be treated the same. (b) Only 6 district measures adopted in any calendar year without voter approval may be excepted as emergencies from a possible referendum petition. A 2/3 majority vote of the members of each house of the general assembly or of the local district board shall declare each exception necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety. Appropriations for district support and maintenance are exempt from referendum petitions. No measure shall.be fully or partly re-adopted, even with an exception,, while a referendum petition on it is in .progress. State measures open to a referendum petition take effect no sooner than 91 days after that general assembly session,finally adjourns, and such local measures no sooner than 91 days after final publication. A petition with the required number of signatures filed before the 91st day delays the effective date until the election or a final decision of petition insufficiency. Measures or parts of measures rejected by voters may be fully or partly re-adopted only with voter approval. Referendum petition ballot titles shall read, "SHALL (DISPUTED SECTIONS OF) (type of measure and number only) BE APPROVED?" Such ballot titles are not subject to title-setting hearings or appeal. (c) The 1988 state petition forms shall be used in all districts unless changed by district voters. Invalid entries may be crossed out by signers or petitioners and do not taint valid ones. Entry of the year signed is .not required, nor is a listing such as street or avenue, apartment, compass direction, postal Zip code, county, or ink color. Electors whose registration record lists a mailing address may use that address on a petition. Moving within a county does not alter registration status. Affidavit errors, initials, nicknames, abbreviations, reproduction marks, and address or other variances shall be liberally construed to aid petitions. No petition shall be renumbered. Absent a private party protest, entries or petitions may be found invalid only if itemized with 10 days after petition filing and only if invalid on their face. Private party protests shall be itemized and filed within 10 days after petition filing. Other entries or petitions may then be found invalid only at a public hearing using judicial rules of evidence and procedure and held to the reasons itemized in the protest, which shall not be amended. Districts and protesters have the burdens of production and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. A PERSON SIGNING A PETITION LATER VERir ~D OR NOTARIZED IS PRESUMED TO BE A REGISTERED ELECTOR WHOSE ENTRY IS VALID UNTIL DISPROVEN. Results of any random sampling or machine reading of entries, or of any district research after a protest that aids such protest, are inadmissible. Petitioners or their agents shall be charged no fee or bond for any process, requirement, or document related to their petition; nor for district documents or data, to be provided within two district business days of a written request, that may help restore any invalidated entry or petition. Findings shall issue within 10 days after a protest filing. On appeal, to be filed within 5 days after findings issue, a state district court shall promptly hold a new trial, by jury if not waived, under the same standards. Verdicts may be appealed to the supreme court within 5 days, and shall be decided within 15 days more. Unless lacking enough entries or petitions valid on their face or for gross fraud, petitioners have up to 10 days after the final decision to file corrections and new entries or petitions signed at any time, to which this process shall apply. Petitions stay on the ballot during this process. A third petition filing is barred. Validated petitions shall receive a ballot number at once. Voter-approved petitions take effect unless the text of the measure be unlawful. Time limits in (6) are jurisdictional, but shall extend to expire only on a district business day. Any non judicial district employee or elected official who willfully ; violates any petitioner right that is provided in (6) shall be liable personally to the petition campaign committee for $5000, as enforced in (1) , and (5)(d). (d) Referred measures to amend, supersede, or repeal any petitioned constitutional or charter amendment require a 4/5 rajority vote ~ of the members of each house of the general assembly or of the local district board. No poll or survey result is admissible in any challenge to or application of any voter-approved petition. Changes in state petition laws or regulations adopted after 1988 without voter approval are hereby repealed. State petition laws in 1988 are restored only if consistent with this section and the state and federal constitutions. Unless adopted as non-emergency measures within 90 days after the election approving this section, future state or local petition law or regulation changes require advance voter approval. Unless allowed therein, past or future voter-approved petitions shall not hereafter be amended, superseded, or repealed by elected officials. ~ ~ a ~ 1 ~ ~ 1 ' ~ COLORADO COUNTIES INC. COLORADO MUNICIPAL LEAGUE 1177 Grant, 3rd Floor 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100 Denver, Colorado 80203 ' ~ Denver, Colorado 80264 (303) 861-4076 M~IVIURANDiJM (303) 831-6411 To: Managers or Clerks From: Jan Gerstenberger, CML Intergovernmental Affairs Associate Special Highway Committee Designee Re: BRIDGE FUNDS AVAILABLE -Federal and State Bridge Funds and Federal Timber Bridge Grants Date: April 1, 1994 _ The Special Highway Committee is soliciting applications for funding of rehabilitation or replacement of substandazdazd bridges for three different bridge funding programs. Applications for the State and Federal Bridge programs aze due in the Colorado Municipal League office by Friday, April 29, 1994 and Timber Bridge Grants aze due Friday, May 27, 1994. r rliERAL BRIDGE REPLACEMENT AND STATE BRIDGE FUNDS This is a request for application for 1994-95 state bridge moves, and federal fiscal yeazs 1997 and 1998. It is estimated that there will be approximately $1 million per yeaz of federal funds, and $10 million of state funds available for municipal bridges. You can specify for which funds you aze applying if you have a preference; if you do not specify, your application will be considered as a request for either program. A portion of the state special bridge funds aze available through an exchange with the state of federal bridge funds (that otherwise would have gone to municipalities) for a like amount of the state's special bridge funds. The Department of Transportation (CDOT) has not imposed any additional requirements that would be placed on recipients of these exchanged dollars as compazed to recipients of municipal state special bridge funds. Program Guidelines Both programs generally fund projects on an 80% grant and 20% local funding basis. ! There are two significant features of the federally funded program that should be noted. The first'is that under " the new federal transportation program, ISTEA, federally funded bridge projects must be included in the ST1P ` (Statewide Transportation Improvement Program) which also means where applicable, in the urban area's TIP (Transportation Improvement Program). This will obviously require coordination with other planning processes, including coordination with the metropolitan planning organizations in the five urban azeas. If you have requested a federally funded project through the TIP process, it should also be submitted to the Special Highway Committee. The second point is that federally funded projects need to. be under obligation in the fiscal year for which it is approved. This could mean, that projects not to design or construction for the fiscal .year approved may not be guaranteed funding in future years: To assist , in meeting obligation deadlines, the Department is now , requesting that the local projects be.budgeted in two parts: design one year, and construction another. Differences between the programs are: ' ' (1) The federal bridge program is administered by CDOT for which there is an overhead charge of approximately 3%. This indirect cost is not eligible for 80% federal funding. All federally funded projects are administered according to CDOT and federal procedures, including review and approval of the consulting engineer selection process, bridge design, and construction oversight. (2) Administration of the state special bridge fund projects is the local entity's responsibility. There are no contracts to be signed with CDOT, nor any project oversight provided or required by CDOT. See attached CDOT August 16, 1982 Procedural Directive Number 43.1 which details the state requirements for this program, including that all work performed with these funds must, at a minimum, meet the "AASHTO Geometric Design Guide for Local Streets and Roads." The Directive also details the process for the release of the grant funds. (3) Although there is no project funding limit in either program, the Special Highway Committee has reserved the right to impose maximums on a case by cases basis for state special bridge fund projects depending on the demand for availability of funds. (4) The Transportation Commission has always stipulated that the approved maximum funding limit for a state special bridge fund project will not be increased to pay for increased costs or cost overruns. However, supplemental funds may be granted for federally funded projects. (5) The Transportation Commission has also stipulated on state special bridge fund projects that (1) no funds will be paid for any costs, including engineering costs, unless and until construction of the project is commenced; and (2) the approved maximum funding limit cannot exceed 80% of the actual project costs. (6) At the completion of a state special bridge fund project, the bridge must be replaced or rehabilitated so that it is no longer on the Select List and it must meet the legal load limits (not be a load posted bridge). This means that prior to the final payment being released, the bridge must be reinspected by the state hired inspectors, and the inventory report submitted to and approved .by CDOT. Eligibility Bridges which have been inspected and are on the Select List of the federal bridge inventory and have a sufficiency rating of 50.0 or less are eligible for replacement funding. Bridges that are on or have been on the Select List which have a sufficiency rating of greater than 50.0 are eligible for rehabilitation funding only, , unless the cost of rehabilitation is documented as exceeding the cost of replacement. Generally, any bridge with a sufficiency rating of 50.0 or less is on the Select List. You can check your bridges' eligibility with Tan Gerstenberger at CML, 831-6411, or Dana Christensen, CDOT, Staff Bridge, 757-9338. 2 The federal government allows bridges which have been on previous Select Lists but have "fallen off" because of different governing criteria to continue to be eligible for funding in the same manner as bridges on the current Select List. Bridges that have been replaced or rehabilitated using any source of funds are not eligible for federal funds for at least 10 years after the work has been completed. ' ' Each municipal bridge is being reinspected every other year through an inspection program funded with federal bridge funds and state special bridge funds. Be sure to assess the need for bridge replacement or rehabilitation on the most current data. If you have a bridge that has never been inspected (it must have a span of 20 feet or greater, abutment to abutment), contact Mr. Christensen at CDOT who can have a consultant do so. Application The following information must be provided for each structure that you are submitting for funding: Photographs of the bridge A copy of the bridge inspection report A brief narrative discussing the need for the work ~ Cost estimate remember that for federally funded projects, engineering will be budgeted one year, and construction funds another Estimated starting date of project design and construction There is no application form. The enclosed Bridge Project Cost Estimate can be used to provide most of the required information. The cost figures contained in the inspection report may be used as a project cost estimate but is not recommended as those figures don't include all eligible project costs. Since no supplemental funds are granted for cost overruns or revised project costs on state special bridge fund projects, development of accurate cost estimates are strongly encouraged. If you submit more than one application, please indicate your priority for funding among your projects. The Special Highway Committee makes an effort to recommend funding for at least one bridge project per applicant prior to funding more than one project for a single jurisdiction. Municipal applications should be sent to: Tan Gerstenberger Colorado Municipal League 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100 Denver, Colorado 80264 Notification of Approval The Committee anticipates that projects will be reviewed, funding'recommendation made to the Transportation Commission, Commission action taken, and applicants notified of the status of state funded bridge projects by the end of June, 1994; and federally funded projects after STIP adoption or amendment processes. If you have any questions concerning your application or any of these programs, please call7an at 831-6411. 3 TIlVIBER BRIDGE GRANT FUNDS These funds are available for reconstructing or rehabilitating bridges on the Select List with structural timber bridges (regardless of the type of bridge being replaced or rehabilitated). Funding will provide 80% of the construction and engineering costs; preliminary engineering and right of way costs are not eligible costs. , , Approach work on roads, sufficient to render the bridge serviceable, may be included. No federal monies will be available for cost overruns or claims settlements. The Federal Highway Administration selects the projects. Funded bridge projects must be obligated and a construction contract awazded between Oct. 1, 1994 and Sept. 30, 1995. Applications should be made on the attached Highway Timber Bridge Research and Demonstration Program forms and submitted directly to Mr. Toe Siccardi, CDOT, Staff Bridge, 4201 E. Arkansas, Denver, CO., 80222, by May 27th. CDOT is limited to submitting six applications to the federal government for funding, so will be prioritizing them and submitting them by federal July lst deadline. Prioritization will be based primarily on the ranking factors as outlined on the application. The application form has been designed taking into consideration the four approval criteria specified in ISTEA: ~ Bridge designs which have both initial and long-term structural and environmental integrity. Bridge designs which utilize timber species native to the state or region. Innovative bridge designs which have the possibility of increasing knowledge, cost effectiveness, and future use of such designs. Environmental practices for preservative treated timber, and construction techniques which comply with all environmental regulations. In order to provide sufficient detail for the application form, it is expected that some early stage preliminary engineering will have been done, i.e. type, size and location stage. As this is only year three of the six year ISTEA bill, it is anticipated that there will be three more years of funding available. Project costs and obligation schedule, by fiscal quarter, are also requested. The Department Staff Bridge division is willing to help in the preparation of the application. Questions should be directed to Mac Best, CDOT, 757-9352. 4 • i'.. f c" t ~ ~ • 1t V "vvuca~~E SLi" 1 6 ~~(J , .

The Council was briefed on a request to release a deed restriction on the property. The action would enable the Anderson's to apply to the town to convert 1,200 sq. ft. of crawl space to living space. In exchange, the Anderson's would restrict a lot adjacent to their property as permanent open space. Previously, staff and the Planning and Environmental Commission recommended denial of the request, citing a concern about setting a precedent which would allow individuals to shift GRFA from one site to another. This, according to TOV staff, would be contrary to the concept of a floor area ratio (GRFA) which limits the amount of mass and bulk of a structure based on the size of the site on which it is located. At the request of the applicant, the Council tabled the matter at its evening meeting.

At the same time, general fund expenditures were under budget by 5319,000.

Grafel shared results of a survey completed by 60 properties in the core, which tended to support the frequency and timing of existing snow plow operations. After a brief discussion on limited options regarding additional noise reduction measures by the town, the Council decided to focus on revising the town's amplified sound ordinance. The Council expressed an interest in eliminating the practice of piping canned and/or live music to outdoor decks and other external areas, unless the entertainers are performing there (outdoors) live.

Moorhead has been charged with driving under the influence and careless driving and is scheduled to appear in Eagle County Court at 9 a.m. May 24. According to police, the incident occurred shortly before midnight Saturday when Moorhead, who was traveling alone, was headed eastbound on South Frontage Road when he ran off the right side of the road. There were no injuries, although the town-owned car Moorhead was driving received extensive damage. Moorhead's use of a town car is authorized by his employment agreement with the Town Council. Moorhead was hired by the Council in July 1993. Moorhead's statement is as follows: "I sincerely regret this incident. Hopefully _ this will not reflect upon or impact the Town of Vail negatively. I now recognize how easily this can happen to anyone. Appreciating my professional role and personal responsibility, Iwill respond positively in all regards." (more) Moorhead/Add 1 Police reports indicate Moorhead was cooperative during the investigation, said Ken - Hughey, Vail Police Chief. "We will be referring the case to the District Attorney for review and prosecution," he said. "The DA will determine if an independent review of the investigation is needed." Moorhead has no prior arrests for drunk driving, according to Hughey. Moorhead personally reported the incident to Mayor Peggy Osterfoss and members of the Town Council early Sunday morning. "The Town Council has been pleased with the professionalism that Tom has brought to the job as our town attorney," said Osterfoss. "This is an extremely regrettable incident," she said. "We don't want to understate the severity. The Town Council will monitor this situation in the weeks ahead, and will make decisions in the best interest of the town.

TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road ~ Office of the Mayor _ Vail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2100 FAX 303-479-2157 April 8, 1994 Mr. Bill Wood ' White River National Forest P.O. Box 190 Minturn, CO 81645 Dear Bill: The Town very much appreciated the presentations by the Forest Service and Vail Associates on Category III at the March 22, 1994 Council worksession. The Town has reviewed the available information for the proposed action and has had an opportunity to visit the site with Vail Associates. Based on these preliminary discussions on Category III, the Town has identified issues that may directly effect the Town and other environmental concerns that we respectfully request be analyzed as part of the Category III Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The following are issues that may directly effect the To 1. Category III will expand skiable terrain by 25°l0 on Vail Mountain and be a significant new product in the North American market. The Town would like to fully understand the analysis and assumptions underlying incremental skier day projections associated with Category III. The Town is not only concerned with 'peak skier days, but also days when the optimal number of skiers is exceeded. The Town recognizes that Vail Associates and the Town need to work together to determine the maximum number of people that the Town and Vail Associates can accommodate without straining resources, reducing efficiency, or impairing the guest experience. This information is critical lIl determining impacts to man-made and natural resources in the Town of Vail. VA has indicated that they will commit ~to a marketing plan designed to manage skier numbers. The Town needs to understand how this will work. 2. The Town welcomes the opportunity to work with Vail Associates and the U.S. Forest Service to determine key services and limiting factors for growth within the Town of Vail that may be related to Category III. The Town recognizes that many of these "capacity" issues need to be addressed regardless of Category III. However, the Town believes that this is a crucial time and an opportunity to identify capacities for services and natural 'resources that will help develop a sustainable plan for growth. The Town believes that most of Mr. Bill Wood White River National Forest April S, 1994 Page 2 the information necessary to address the issues below is available between the Town and Vail Associates. The Town looks forward to working with Vail Associates to synthesize and compile the available information to address these issues. Issues that need to be considered in relation to Category III include: A. Evaluate the ability of the Town to accommodate incremental changes in parking demand. B. Examine traffic flow impacts at the I-70 interchanges and Town ' of Vail intersections to determine if existing capacity is adequate to accommodate any traffic flow changes. C. Determine whether the current Town bus system will be adequate to accommodate any changes in ski lift usage at Golden Peak, Vail Village, or Lionshead. The EIS should also determine whether increased traffic resulting from the expansion will require improvements to the regional mass transit system (i.e. Leadville to Vail & Vail to Edwards). Will additional mass transit be needed within the Town? D. Evaluate whether pedestrian access to and frcm ski lifts in Golden Peak, Vail Village, Lionshead, and Cascade Village will be adequate and safe. E. Determine whether the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District will have adequate water supply, hydraulic pressure, and sewage capacity. _ F. Determine whether emergency services (Fire, Police, Ambulance) need to be improved or expanded. G. Quantify the air quality impacts in the Town of Vail from any additional traffic and woodburning. H. Determine whether Category III will accelerate development in the Vail Valley or significantly effect Vail's full time or part-time population. I. Determine the direct and indirect change (multiplier effect) in employees as the result of this project. Will ary anticipated change in employees effect the existing need for employee housing? t Mr. Bill Wood White River National Forest April 8, 1994 Page 3 J. Determine whether the project will significantly increase refuse generation and affect the capacity of the Eagle County Landfill. To what degree can recycling or waste reduction methods offset these impacts? 3. The Town encourages a full examination and evaluation of alternative designs and sizes for the expansion area. There should be a strong justificatior_, based on the analysis in the EIS, for the size of the preferred skiable area as opposed to a smaller expansion with fewer lifts and facilities. A major reason why Vail's guests and residents have come to the Vail Valley is because of the areas natural resources. The following are issues that may effect environmental quality in the area: 1. What would be the direct and cumulative impacts on wildlife from the proposed expansion? It seems that a significant amount of baseline data has been collected and could be utilized to determine these impac~s. Other proposed and ongoing actions in the area that may need to be considered in the analysis of cumulative impacts include: . A. Wearyman Timber Sale B. Proposed Pearl Creek Timber Sale C. Other timber sales in the area D. Possibility of a reservoir on the Eagle near Redclifi E. Increased development at Beaver Creek F. Proposed Adams Rib ski resort , 2. The nonpoint source water quality impacts of the project need to be quantified and mitigated. 3. Construction of a restaurant on Two Elk Creek and bridges over the creek need to be closely examined for impacts to wildlife, water quality, anti loss of wetlands. 4. Impacts from any proposed septic tanks need to be clearly evaluated. 5. Discuss whether this project is consistent with the Forest Service's ecosystem management approach. In other words does this project have a significant impact on the areas ecosystem that can not be mitigated. 6. Determine the construction related impacts of the proposed project This area provides critical habitat for elk calving in the spring. How will wildlife impacts be avoided or minimized during construction? If helicopters will be a • Mr. Bill Wood White River National Forest April 8, 1994 Page 4 used in the project, what will be the impacts from the resulting noise on predators and game animals? . 7. As the Town understands, Category III would not be part of any VA summer program. How will VA or the Forest Service control access to the area during the spring, summer, and fall. 8. Are improvements to the existing ski area required to provide adequate access to the Category III area? If so what are the impacts of these improvements. 9. Has an inventory been completed for threatened and endangered plant and animal species? An explanation on how this habitat will be maintained with the expansion would be helpful. 10. After mitigation measures are implemented for the proposed expansion, what monitoring will occur to determine the effectiveness of mitigation techniques? The Town looks forward to working with the Forest Service and Vail Associates on the Category III expansion and in helping to address the above stated issues. The Town will be meeting with Vail Associates to address the capacity related issues within the next two months. Capacity information and solutions that relate to Category III will be forwarded to the Forest Service by July 1, 1994, so that it can be incorporated into the Draft EIS. Please contact Russell Forrest at 479-2138 or myself if you have any questions regarding our comments. Also, we would appreciate being informed of future public meetings and being kept up to date on the progress on the Category III EIS. Thank you again for your cooperation.

Wood District Ranger White River National Forest Holy Cross Ranger District P. O. Box 190 Minturn, Colorado 81645 Dear Mr. Wood: The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) received your recently transmitted information on the planned expansion of the Vail Ski Area. Thank you for including CDOT in your scoping efforts to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for this expansion. In 1986, during the Environmental Assessment (EA) preparation for the last Vail Associates Ski Area expansion, CDOT provided considerable input to identify and minimize impacts to the existing transportation . system in Vail resulting from that expansion. Several commitments were made by the U.S.F.S. and Vail Associates at that time and those commitments should be renewed and honored in this NEPA process. We. would also request that a detailed and comprehensive transportation study be completed as a part of this EIS effort. In 1986 Vail Associates committed to no more than 19,900 Skiers-at-one-Time on .the mountain to attempt to minimize transportation impacts to Vail and our transportation system in the area. However, _ no mechanism was ever incorporated into the expansion to measure, track or report these daily on-mountain numbers. Some system needs to be developed which accurately measures these skier numbers, then notifies the U.S.F.S., CDOT and the Town of Vail so congestion management plans can be initiated to keep ski traffic moving and congestion at a manageable Level. A comprehensive plan which includes congestion management and transportation demand management strategies needs to be established to mitigate major transportation impacts to the Vail/I-70 transportation system. CDOT, the Town, the ski company and U.S.F.S. should cooperatively develop and participate in this plan. During the last EA discussion, very little was done to directly mitigate transportation impacts on the existing system. With additional skiers drawn into Vail with this new expansion proposal, these congestion/parking problems could be compounded several fold. A comprehensive transportation analysis will point out these weak links within the existing transportation system and should identify some reasonable and effective mitigation strategies. Mr. William A. Wood April 1, 1994 Page No. Two We appreciate being included in this NEPA effort and will provide input throughout the development of these EIS's to avert major failures in the Vail transportation system in the future. If there are any questions about these comments, please contact either myself at 248-7223 or Rich Perske at 248-7212, both of us located here in Grand Junction. Very truly yours, R. P. MOSTON DIRECTOR, TRANSPORTATION REGION 3 4`~ - BY:. LAURENCE R. ABBOTT REGION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER LRA/rff cc: L. Grafel, Town of Vail Siebels Gambrill/Gerstl Perske Sherman/Nelson J. Smith/E. Hill Abbott File April 8, 1994 Mayor Peggy Osterfoss Vail Town Council Dear Peggy: Regarding banning amplified sound outdoors in Vail so Sheiks Gramshammer can convert rooms at the Gastof Gramshammer to commercial space: We have been listening to the Gramshammers' self-serving, inane complaints for 30 years. They merely ask that our entire community operate according to their whims, desires, and profit-motives. The "squeaking wheel gets greased" theory has been re-invented by both Gramshammers and flogged to death. Sheiks admits that her lodge does not have an air conditioning system and that causes the guests to open the windows. So, rather than install an air conditioning system in her lodge, she runs to the Town of Vail and requests that the nightclubs. "install sound-proof windows and proper ventilation". This is ludicrous. If noise pollution honestly becomes a problem in Vail Village, the Council should address it. But do not address it if only the Gramshammers are railing about it and possibly using it as an excuse to convert lodge rooms into more profitable commercial space.

Box 190 Minturn, CO 81645 Dear Bill: • The Town very much appreciated the presentations by the Forest Service and Vail Associates on Category III at the March 22, 1994 Council worksession. The Town has reviewed the available information for the proposed action and has had an opportunity to visit the site with Vail Associates. Based on these preliminary discussions on Category III, the Town ~ has identified issues that may directly effect the Town and other environmental concerns that we respectfully request be analyzed as part of the Category III Environmental Impact Statement (EIS}. The following are issues that may directly effect the Town: 1. Category III will expand skiable terrain by 25% on Vail Mountain and be a significant new product in the North American market. The Town would like to fully understand the analysis and assumptions underlying incremental skier day projections associated with Category III. The Town is not only concerned with peak skier days, but also days when the optimal number o~ skiers is exceeded. The Town recognizes that Vail Associates and the Town need to work together to determine the maximum number of people that the Town and Vail Associates can accommodate without straining resources, reducing efficiency, or impairing the guest experience. This information is critical in determining impacts to man-made and natural resources in the To-,~n of Vail. VA has indicated that they will commit to a marketing plan designed to manage skier numbers. The Town needs to understand how this will work. 2. The Town welcomes the opportunity to work with Vail Associates and the U.S. Forest Service to determine key services and limiting factors for growth within the Town of Vail that may be related to Category III. The Town recognizes that many of these "capacity" issues need to be addressed regardless of Category III. However, the Town believes that this is a crucial time and an opportunity to identify capacities for services and natural resources that will help develop a sustainable plan for growth. The Town believes that most of Mr. Bill Wood White River National Forest April 8, 1994 Page 2 the information necessary to address the issues below is available between the Town and Vail Associates. The Town looks forward to working with Vail. Associates to synthesize and compile the available information to address these issues. Issues that need to be considered in relation to Category III include: A. Evaluate the ability of the Town to accommodate incremental changes in parking demand. B. Examine traffic flow impacts at the I-70 interchanges and Town of Vail intersections to determine if existing capacity is adequate to accommodate any traffic flow changes. C. Determine whether the current Town bus system will be adequate to accommodate any changes in ski lift usage at Golden Peak, Vail Village, or Lionshead. The EIS should also determine whether increased traffic resulting from the expansion will require improvements to the regional mass transit system (i.e. Leadville to Vail & Vail to Edwards). Will additional mass transit be needed within the Town? D. Evaluate whether pedestrian access to and from ski lifts in ' Golden Peak, Vail Village, Lionshead, and Cascade Village will be adequate and safe. E. Determine whether the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District will have adequate water supply, hydraulic pressure, and sewage capacity. F. Determine whether emergency services (Fire, Police, Am1aulance) need to be improved or expanded. G. Quantify the air quality impacts in the Town of Vail from any additional traffic and woodburning. H. Determine whether Category III will accelerate development in the Vail Valley or significantly effect Vail's full time or part-time population. I. Determine the direct and indirect change (multiplier effect) in employees as the result of this project. Will any anticipated change in employees effect the existing need for employee housing? Mr. Bill Wood White River National Forest April 8, 1994 Page 3 J. Determine whether the project will significantly increase refuse generation and affect the capacity of the Eagle County Landfill. To what degree can recycling or waste reduction methods offset these impacts? ~ . 3. The Town encourages a full examination and evaluation of alternative designs and sizes for the expansion area. There should be a strong justificatior_, based on the analysis in the EIS, for the size of the preferred skiable area as opposed to a smaller expansion with fewer lifts and facilities. A major reason why Vail's guests and residents have come to the Vail Valley is because of the areas natural resources. The following are issues that may effect environmental quality in the area: 1. What would be the direct and cumulative impacts on wildlife from the proposed expansion? It seems that a significant amount of baseline data has been collected and could be utilized to determine these impac~s. Other proposed and ongoing actions in the area that may need to be considered in the analysis of cumulative impacts include: A. Wearyman Timber Sale B. Proposed Pearl Creek Timber Sale C. Other timber sales in the area D. -Possibility of a reservoir on the Eagle near Redcliff E. Increased development at Beaver Creek F. Proposed Adams Rib ski resort 2. The nonpoint source water quality impacts of the project need to be quantified and mitigated. 3. Construction of a restaurant on Two Elk Creek and bridges over the creek need to be closely examined for impacts to wildlife, water quality, and Ioss of wetlands. 4. Impacts from any proposed septic tanks need to be clearly evaluated. 5. Discuss whether this project is consistent with the Forest Service's ecosystem management approach. In other words does this project have a significant impact on the areas ecosystem that can not be mitigated. 6. Determine the construction related impacts of the proposed project This area provides critical habitat for elk calving in the spring. How w-~ll wildlife impacts be avoided or minimized during construction? If helicopters will be ti Mr. Bill Wood White River National Forest April 8, 1994 Page 4 used in the project, what will be the impacts from the resulting noise on predators and game animals? 7. As the Town understands, Category III would not be part of any VA summer program. How will VA or the Forest Service control access to the area during the spring, summer, and fall. 8. Are improvements to the existing ski area required to provide adequate access to the Category III area? If so what are the impacts of these improvements. 9. Has an inventory been completed for threatened and endangered plant and animal species? An explanation on how this habitat will be maintained with the expansion would be helpful. 10. After mitigation measures are implemented for the proposed expansion, what monitoring will occur to determine the effectiveness of mitigation techniques? The Town looks forward to working with the Forest Service and Vail Associates on the Category III expansion and in helping to address the above stated issues. The Town will be meeting with Vail Associates to address the capacity related issues within the next two months. Capacity inf..~.uation and solutions that relate to Category III will be forwarded to the Forest Service by July 1, 1994, so that it can be incorporated into the Draft EIS. Please contact Russell Forrest at 479-2138 or myself if you have any questions regarding our comments. Also, we would appreciate being informed of future public 3neetings and being kept up to date on the progress on the Category III EIS. Thank you again for your cooperation.

To date, staff has not been able to find a section of the Code that would fully address this Council concern. Recently, Code Section 17.16.250 was given to the Council. This section of the Code is used for major subdivisions. It has not been used with construction projects such as the Sonnenalp, the Christiania, etc. The staff does have a section in the Design Review Guidelines which allows us to obtain a bond or letter of credit to cover landscaping, site improvements, and the paving of parking areas once a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is requested. Please see the attached Section 18.54.110. To my knowledge, the Town of Vail has not required a builder or developer to bond or provide a letter of credit to cover the cost of construction for a project other than a major subdivision. If you have additional questions about this issue, please let me know. 1 . / . . ¦ ~ _ ; ,~i~. - ~ , • , DESIGN REVIEW • 18.54.080 Administrative policies. A.
