Site Visit: 274 Beaver Dam Road, Lot 20A, Part of Tract J, Block 7, Vail Valley, First Russ Forrest Filing. Action Requested of Council: Consider disposal of said property if a conservation easement can be secured for the property. Backaround Rationale: This is a Town owned parcel with covenant restrictions. This parcel was identified in the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as a parcel that could be disposed of to generate revenues for other open lands purchases. There are wetland plant species on a portion of the site, and it would be desirable to place a conservation easement on the site to prevent development on that part of the parcel. Staff Recommendation: Dispose of property if a conservation easement can be obtained on the parcel that would restrict development and a contract could be secured that would preclude any additional GRFA being obtained as the result of this purchase. 2:30 P.M. 2. Update re: Eagle Mine Clean-up. Patricia Teik Dick Parachini Gene Taylor Action Requested of Council: Listen to update presented by Patricia Teik, Russ Forrest representing the Eagle River Environmental Business Alliance. Dick Parachini from the Colorado Department of Health and Gene Taylor of the U.S. EPA will also provide and update on clean-up of the mine and future remediation actions. Backaround Rationale: The Eagle Mine Superfund Site is a 235 acre abandoned mining and milling facility located on the banks of the Eagle River near Minturn, Colorado. The Eagle Mine area ore deposits (a large body of zinc and lead ore along with some precious metals) were first mined in the 1870s. In the 1900s these mines were consolidated by New Jersey Zinc Company, and in 1966 this company merged with Gulf + Western which later became Paramount Communications. All mining operations were abandoned in 1984. In 1986, the EPA placed the Eagle Mine Site on the National Priority List (NPL), making it a designated Supertund Site. Paramount is responsible for paying the cost of clean-up even though, after the closure of the mine, the property was purchased by Battle MT Corp. The EPA and the State entered into an agreement in 1986 which designated the Colorado Department of Health (CDOH) as the "lead" agency for the Site clean-up. The CDOH point of contact is Dick Parachini. Council has asked staff to monitor clean-up on the Site which has been done through participation in EREBA and direct communication with CDOH and EPA. Staff Recommendation: Continue to encourage Paramount, CDOH, and EPA to make adequate progress on the Remedial Action Plan (RAP). 3:15 P.M. 3. PEC Report. Kristan Pritz 3:35 P.M. 4. DRB Report. Jim Curnutte 1 3:55 P.M. 5. Presentation re: Installation of heated pavers at Gore Creek Promenade. Larry Grafel Action Requested of Council: Listen to presentation from staff an installation costs. Give direction on whether to proceed with project. Background Rationale: Staff was directed to investigate feasibility of installing heated pavers in the Gore Creek Promenade are and ultimately in other key areas of the Village. B&B Excavating is scheduled to repair the damaged paver sections (warranty work) in the Promenade area later this month. If this area is to be heated, we need to schedule this work to coincide with B&B's warranty work in order to minimize disruption to business owners.

The Eagle Mine area ore deposits (a large body of zinc and lead ore along with some precious metals) were first mined in the 1870's. In the 1900's these mines where consolidated by New Jersey Zinc Company and in 1966 this company merged with Gulf + Western which later became Paramount Communications. All mining operations where abandoned in 1984. In 1986, the EPA placed the Eagle Mine Site on the National Priority List (NPL) making it a designated Superfund Site. Paramount is responsible for paying the cost of clean-up even though after the closure of the mine, the property was purchased by Battle MT Corp. The EPA and the State entered into a Memorandum of Understandting (MOA) in 1986 which designated the Colorado Dept. of Health (CDH) as the "lead" agency for the Site cleanup. The State negotiated a Consent Decree with Paramount and took-effect in May 1988. Cleanup activities under the Consent Decree began in August 1988 and have continued every summer since then. The CDH point of contact is Dick Parachini. AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT The Eagle River and Cross Creek are the major surface water affected by metals contaminations. Residues from the mining operation were left in five "Roaster Piles," located along the Eagle River. Most of the tailings have been moved to the Consolidated Tailings Pile (CTP). The CTP has negatively impacted surface water, ground water, and the wetland at Maloit Park. The CTP is approximately 1000 feet from the Minturn Middle School and 1500 feet from residences living , adjacent to Maloit Park. Contamination to the Eagle River from the mine was detected as far away as Gypsum in 1990. The Eagle River is a major visual feature in Eagle County and is used as a water supply in the area. It is also highly valued for its fishing, boating, and other recreational opportunities. e -01 's ISSUES Heavy metals contamination of the Eagle River and groundwater has been the primary environmental concern. There has also been considerable concern over the potential air borne pollutants (e.g. Arsenic, Lead, Cadmium, and Particulates) blowing from the Tailings Pile toward the Middle School. The following is a list of specific issues. ¦ Potential for contamination of the Minturn Drinking Water supply(Well has been moved ) ¦ PCB contamination from transformers in the mine (no unacceptable risk). ¦ Health threat to school children and nearby residents from air, soil, and water contamination (EPA and CDH have issued a statement that the health of children and residents are not at risk) ¦ Contamination and loss of wetlands. ¦ Impact to game fish and other aquatic life (fish population starting to slowly increase). ¦ Progress on capping the CTP has been ongoing and is approximately 60% complete. ¦ Inadequate fencing around the site to prevent children from entering. ¦ Drawing down water levels in the mine may reduce contamination. Concern that a flood could occur if a mine plug blew. ¦ The proposed Homestake II project, if implemented, could significantly hamper clean-up of the Eagle River by reducing stream flow. , ¦ Town of Gilman closed and buildings have asbestos in them. ¦ Reuse of the site is unclear and the Federal Government is unwilling to take it. (Eagle County discussing future zoning of area) STATUS The EPA issued a Record of Decision in 1993 that mandates specific remediation actions at the mine site. The State and Paramount signed a Consent Decree in 1988 that also mandated specific remediation requirements and there is some discussion as to how the EPA will implement its decision. However, under Federal Law (i.e, CERCLA, SARA) the EPA does have the right to require specific remedial actions on a Superfund site since they are the agency ultimately responsible for delisting the site. The EPA has not overturned the state Consent Decree but has essentially added to it. The EPA Record of Decision (ROD) identifies required remediation actions that will cost approximately $17.3 million over 10 years. The ROD also requires a more stringent target for cleanup of the Eagle River. These remediation actions involve: ¦ Collecting and treating subsurface seepage from the mine, ¦ Monitoring contamination from the roaster piles, ¦ Capping, monitoring, and reducing groundwater contamination from the CTP, ¦ Remove contaminated soil from the Maloit Wetlands and revegetate, ¦ Expansion of Biological Monitoring. Work activities completed under the State Consent Decree in 1993 include: ¦ Removal of ponded water from CTP, ¦ Placement of 14 acres of clear cap section, ¦ Construction of sludge disposal cell, ¦ Installation of a sludge dewatering system, ¦ Evaluating performance of CTP ground water extraction trenches,, ¦ Evaluating mine draw down tests. r t • Work activities to be undertaken in 1994 include: ~ Complete regrading of CTP, ¦ Placement of clear cap on settled areas, ¦ Complete sludge cell construction, ¦ Improve surface mine seepage collection system, ` ¦ Continue revegetation activities. - 4 i i ~ ~ i ~ EI~GLE RIVER ENVIRONMENTo~L & BL~SUJESS ALLIAN~ CIO Patr9cla 'Teilc, F.D.

Although the ~ Colorado Department of Health's Consent i?ecrP.e worlcplan continues to move forward, wo are frustrated that the 3 party Conscm Decree has not been signed at this time. r We arc; cbncemed that a situation will arise that was similar to last year. Due to negotiations the i conscrucion season ~uvas delayed until Au~,ust, there were several deliverable 'dates that were not ` met, and (some of the deliverables that weze rnct did not meet State compliance objectives. This resulted ~n penalties that were imposed by the State (not possible under the current Consent Decree] i~nd a mediation session with the Special Master to rLmcdv cnmpl ianre objectives. The existing Consent Decree kas been proven to be insufficient in many azeas, as cvidcuced by the ~aeed for the water tr.,«l,.xrent plant; the lack of sufficient actions to deal with the waste rock piles audi ~c cnfure;,czncnt mechanisms. ~t'e think it is imperative that the additions proposed by the 3 parry Consent Decree be implemented into the current Statement of Work. i In addition, a discharge of collected mine water into tkre Eagle River last SeptemhPr has disclosecE ~ another weakness with the current Consent Ikcree, .from both an enforcement and penalty standpni~t,. and fig.:. an emergerrcti~ responsiveness pcnpective.

The existing permit application establishes a maximum noise level of 65 decibels from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a reduction to 60 decibels from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. The Council had considered strengthening the ordinance following a formal complaint by Sheiks Gramshammer of Gastof Gramshammer. Many who spoke at the meeting said the ordinance, if strictly enforced, would create a "ghost town" atmosphere within the village core.. However, Dan Telleen of Karats jewelry, encouraged police to follow up on all complaints, even if they are anonymous. Telleen said amplified sound from other businesses makes it difficult for him to talk with his customers if he leaves his shop door open. Of the other ordinances reviewed from municipalities across the state, Town Attorney Moorhead indicated the Town of Vail ordinance is the most comprehensive. In the end, the Council urged businesses to work with one another to make the outcome positive for everyone. For more information, contact Tom Moorhead at 479-2107, or Police Chief Ken Hughey at 479-2210. --AI Walker Seminar The Council voted 6-0 (Peggy Osterfoss was out of the room) to deny a request from the Vail Recreation District to help share the cost of a facilitator for a May 26 presentation. AI Walker's seminar fee is $5,000 for a full day seminar on board/staff relations. The Rec District had asked fora $1,000 contribution. --Vail Cemetery Funding The Council agreed to take the Vail cemetery issue back to the voters in November. This time, the question will be asked of Vail voters only. Last November, voters in the Eagle Gore Cemetery District rejected a mill levy issue to fund construction of a cemetery in Vail. The levy also would have expanded the Riverview Cemetery in Minturn. Councilmembers yesterday considered funding the $660,000 construction cost of the Vail project with capital improvements funds, but decided it would make more sense to ask voters if they 'support the cemetery. If approved, the town may enter into a contract with the Eagle Gore Cemetery District for maintenance and operations. (more) TOV/Add 1 A master plan for the cemetery, proposed for the upper bench of Donovan Park, was approved by the Council last December. The cemetery would provide up to 980 memorial spaces to be used over the next _100 years. For more information, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138, or Finance Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116. Also, for a copy of results from the November election, contact Suzanne Silverthorn at 479-2115. --Cornice Building Housing The Council denied a request from developers of the Cornice Building to add an employee housing unit to the site, noting the potential for additional parking and access problems. The Special Development District project requires three permanently restricted employee housing units to be located off-site, however. In proposing locations for the three off-site units, the developers were told that two of the proposed units were acceptable and that the third unit would be reviewed by Council after receiving variances from the Planning & Environmental Commission. For more information, contact Jim Curnutte in the Community Development Department at 479- 2138. ~--ABC. School After hearing background on a 1992 decision by the Planning and Environmental' Commission (PEC) requiring operators of the ABC School to pave the school's parking lot by September 1995, the Council agreed to allow the school to return to the PEC to request a new variance. A variance had been granted previously due to the possibility of construction of a housing project on the nearby Mountain Bell site. That project has since been eliminated. The school has indicated the $12,000 cost of the paving would be a hardship. The ABC School and the adjacent Learning Tree school each lease their facilities from the Town of Vail.

Osterfoss and Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel went to Washington, D.C., last week to meet with members of the Colorado congressional delegation for assistance. The town is requesting a $2 million federal appropriation to be matched locally by 20 percent, or $500, 000. Evening Meeting --Citizen Participation There was no citizen participation. (more) TOV/Add 2 --Fire Lanes An ordinance was approved on second reading updating the town's fire lanes. For more information, contact Fire Chief Dick Duran at 479-2252. --Tele-Communications, Inc./Liberty Media Corporation The Council unanimously approved a resolution recognizing the reorganization of Tele- communications, Inc., and Liberty Media Corporation. The resolution does not impact the town's current cable franchise agreement with TCI. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107. --Pedotto Rezoning Request The Council, on a 5-2 first reading vote, approved an ordinance rezoning a tract from primary/secondary residential to low density multi-family. The property is located at 2850 Kinnickinnick Road. In addition, the Council voted 4-3 to approve a minor subdivision request for the property. The applicant, Juanita Pedotto, has proposed construction of 19 dwelling units in 14 structures on 2.49 acres of land, including three permanently deed restricted employee housing units. Neighborhood opponents said they preferred larger, but fewer, structures on the property allowable by the current zoning.

More than 400 locals have joined the effort in previous years, collecting about 10 tons of trash and raising up to $8,000 for their favorite charities. In case of rain or snow, the 1994 clean-up will be rescheduled to Sunday, May 22. # # # t r r--' ~ 1 ter s~(r ~i ~ 0~1 ~U+J~C+ a j~pt~t/1G(~ ~ULt~~ ~ ~ :NG TO v REFUNDING BONDS 1985 '.ER 15, 1985 PAL AMOUNT OF 5,000 . u ~1 TOWN OF UAIL 75 South Frontage Road Yail, Colorado 81657 303-479-2100 FAX 303-479-2157 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 6, 1994 Contact: Kristan Pritz, 479-2138 Community Development Department TOWN OF VAIL SPONSORS CONSTRUCTION KICK-OFF MEETING TO IMPROVE COORDINATION WITH BUILDERS (Vail)--The Town of Vail will help launch the construction season again this year through sponsorship of a "kick-off" meeting for contractors, architects and others interested in Vail's construction process. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday (5-10) in the Council Chambers. There, representatives from the town's building division, public works department, fire department and others will be on hand to offer tips and other guidelines to help avoid costly delays and other inconveniences. Information on permits, inspections, fees and other regulations will be discussed, including updates to the Uniform Building Code and conditions required by the American Disabilities Act. The kick-off program was introduced last season and has been well received, said Kristan Pritz, Community Development Director. "We had a decrease in problems on construction sites last year, which we think may be attributed to the town staff taking steps to better inform contractors about (more) Construction Season/Add 1 TOV regulations," Pritz said. "We appreciate the building community's cooperation." Last year's meeting drew about 75 participants, Pritz said. At the end of April, the town had issued 126 building permits, representing a total valuation of 57.5 million, for 1994. That compares with 123 permits valued at 59.9 million for the same period a year ago, according to Gary Murrain, the town's chief building official. "We're estimating building activity will be down about seven percent from last year, due to the lack of large projects such as the Liftside Condominium project," Murrain said. For more information on the kick-off meeting, contact the Community Development Department at 479-2138. # # # 1 CONTR.A,CTORS & ARCHITECTS s`"-~w~4~. ~ CONSTRUCTION SEASON '94 ~'iw9~3~ sse~~~~~ ~ KICK-OFF MEETING ~9 DISCUSSION REGARDING IMPORTANT CHECKPOINTS DURING ~ THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS ~ ~ 'J ~ c icy t 1 ~f,~F~~r-,~; ~i ~ ~ e L i ~ TUESDAY, MAY 10TH - 7:00 PM ~ ' ~ mOG 1990 - , , / --z r. %j r TOWN OF VAIL l~~IUNICIPAL ~ a j, BUILDING - - - ~ = COUNCIL CHAMBERS ;J'~° ~ - 75 S.

Fire Inspector, 479-2462 I. IMPORTANT CHECKPOINTS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS: A. All zoning and design approvals must be obtained before a building permit can be released. The Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) addresses variances to height, setbacks, site coverage and other zoning and subdivision standards as well as condition use permits and special development districts. The staff cannot approve variances to the zoning code. The Design Review Board (DRB) looks at all exterior changes to buildings, grading and landscaping. Minor exterior changes may be approved by the planning staff. Fire and building will provide free plan check advice before you actually submit your building plans. Please take advantage of this service. B. Submitting for a building permit: - 7. Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board conditions of approval must be addressed at this time. These include employee housing agreements, hazard reports, revocable right-of-way permits, etc. 2. A temporary construction parking, dumpster, material delivery, fencing and staging plan is needed for most projects unless it is a minor permit.., Any requests for over-sized vehicles in the public right-of-way should be addressed in your staging plan and require a special construction request which is approved by Planning, Public Works, Fire and Building. 3. Driveway Standards for two dwelling units or less: Grades stated are maximum and not average: •up to 8%, no heat required. •8 to ~ 0°~°, Town Engineer approval required. •10 to 12%, Town. Engineer approval and heat required. 4. The public way permit (street cut permit) for temporary access to your building site must be approved before the Community Development Department will be able to issue a building permit. The public way permit will be attached to your building permit application. The public way permit must be approved by Public Works. A construction traffic control plan is required with the public way permit in most cases. C. ~ Inspections 1. The first inspection will be for the project's temporary access and drainage. This is important to allow safe access and drainage at the building site and is intended to avoid impeding traffic and drainage on the public way. 2. Foundation Inspection The Town recommends that you check the feasibility of meeting your driveway grades as indicated on the approved plans, location of building and retaining walls. Many problems can be avoided in the future by checking these items at this time. 3. Pre-framing Before the Town can do a framing inspection, the Community Development Department will need to review your Improvement Location Certificate (ILC). The staff uses the ILC to check setbacks and the height of the project: Staff asks that you allow 48 hours for us to review the ILC. 4. Framing Inspection The building inspectors will check general floor plans to make sure they match the building permit plans at this time. 5. Driveway Rough Grade Inspection (prior to gravel and paving) Public Works will be willing to come out to the site to check your drainage, the-public way and driveway grade if you desire. This is another check that can avoid problems at the time of Temporary Certificate of Occupancy. 6. Pre-Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO) - In order to get a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, all exterior finish work must be completed (siding, paint, stucco). If the driveway is paved, the Public Works Department will do a final grade check and drainage for the site and road check. For commercial, mixed use and certain residential projects, the Town requires a Developer's Agreement and letter of credit or bond to insure ~ that paving, landscaping and other site improvements will be completed. Please be sure to allow approximately two weeks for the Town Attorney, Town Engineer and Town Planner to review bids and the developer's agreement. a 7. Final Certificate of Occupancy (CO) A final site inspection will occur before the final Certificate of Occupancy can be issued. The driveway, public way, site drainage and landscaping will be reviewed at this time. - MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Andy Knudtsen, Senior Planner, Community Development Department DATE: May 10, 1994 SUBJECT: Christmas tree lighting Section 18.54.050 (J)3 discusses exemptions to the recently adopted lighting section of the Zoning Code. Christmas Tree lights of a temporary nature were allowed in residential zone districts between November 1st and April 15th of each year. Christmas tree lights in commercial zone districts are allowed twelve months of the year. 1 hope this answers the questions about Christmas tree lighting that were raised during the last worksession. If anyone has further questions about this, please do not hesitate to give us a call at Community Development. 1 `i I ` .

Please join me in welcoming the new growth in community projects for our Valley! Many, many thanks to our wonderful volunteers who operate the crisis line, the Buddies and CourtWatch programs, and who help us with our fundraising events, regardless of their overflowing schedules. We sincerely appreciate your dedication. The Buddies Program is doing well, and has been expanded to encompass the entire Eagle Valley. Ellen Cochran is the coordinator of the program, and is currently seeking caring adults to match with Junior Buddies. For more information on how you can make a difference in a young person's life; call Ellen at 949-7086. A community project coordinated by the Eagle County Department of Social Services, the Family Mediation Program is seeking referrals. The trained mediators team up to help adolescents and their families mediate specific issues. A benefit of this program will be the role modeling of good communication skills, as well as an opportunity for the volunteer mediators to learn a terrific new skill! Take advantage of this valuable family service by calling Kathy Reed at 328-8840. Before I close, I'd like to tell you of one more project The Resource Center is involved in. It is a CourtWatch program designed to educate the people involved in the Court process, as well as help TRC keep track of inconsistencies in cases involving domestic abuse and sexual assault. There is also a victim advocacy component to support the needs of victims while they manuever through the often difficult legal system. If you would like to participate in this program, please contact Dee through our office, at 949=7086.

CABLEVISION VI, INC. d/b/a TCI Cablevision of the Rockies, Inc. Vail, Colorado System Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. (a) Organization Cablevision VI, Inc., d/b/a TCI Cablevision of the Rockies, Inc. ("TCI-Rockies") owns the assets of several cable television systems within the states of Colorado, Missouri, and Iowa including those of the cable television system located in Vail, Colorado. Cablevision VI, Inc. is wholly owned by Heritage Investment, Inc., an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Tele-Communications, Inc..("TCI"). The books and records of TCI, including TCI-Rockies, are maintained in a manner consistent with its financing and internal operating needs. Within' such books and records, the operations of certain systems (or groups of systems) are maintained separately in order to internally evaluate the results of such operations. The accompanying .balance sheet and statement of operations were prepared, by necessity, using estimates and allocations for Vail and several nearby communities. These financial statements are restricted to the internal use of the Town of Vail, Colorado only. Due to the aforementioned, the accompanying financial statements do not purport to be indicative of the financial position and the . results of operations that would be reported for the cable television system in Vail, Colorado had its books and records been maintained separate and apart from other cable television systems owned by TCI-Rockies. (b) Protierty and Eauinment On the books of TCI-Rockies, property and equipment is stated at cost. Construction costs of the cable television system, including interest during construction and applicable overhead, are capitalized. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using estimated useful lives of 5 to 15 years for the cable distribution system and 3 to 40 years for support equipment and buildings. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations, and renewals and additions are capitalized. At the time of ordinary retirements, sales, or other disposition of property, the original cost and cost of removal of such property are charged to accumulated depreciation, and salvage, if any., is credited thereto. Gains or losses are only recognized in connection with the sale of properties in their entirety. (c) Franchise Costs Franchise costs include the difference between the cost of acquiring the cable television systems and amounts assigned to their tangible assets as well as costs incurred in obtaining franchises. These amounts are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. (continued) • CABLEVISION VI, INC. d/b/a/ TCI Cablevision of the Rockies, Inc. Vail, Colorado System Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (2) Transactions with TCI TCI-Rockies has a management agreement with another subsidiary of TCI whereby such subsidiary's management provides administrative services and has assumed managerial responsibility for certain cable television systems' operations and construction. As compensation for these services, TCI-Rockies was charged for certain overhead and administrative expenses on a per subscriber basis. Charges. under such management agreement relating to the cable television system located in Vail, Colorado in the amount of $118,636 are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements. TCI-Rockies purchases certain pay television and other programming through another TCI subsidiary at TCI's cost. Charges for such programming relating to the cable television system located in Vail, Colorado were approximately $318,273 for year ended December 31, 1993 and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Parent's investment includes amounts due to TCI, representing borrowings for operations and construction costs, net of allocated tax expense. TCI- Rockies is charged interest expense on~the average outstanding balance due to TCI. (3) Management Fees Pursuant to a Cable Service Management Agreement between TCI-Rockies and Beaver Creek Metropolitan District ("the District"), TCI-Rockies provides management, technical, marketing and subscriber services for the District's cable television system. As compensation for such services, the District pays a management fee to TCI-Rockies. The management fee is recorded as other income in the accompanying statement of operations. (4) Income Taxes TCI-Rockies is included in the consolidated Federal income tax return of TCI. The cable television system in Vail, Colorado is not directly charged for its share of the consolidated tax liability recorded by TCI. Income tax expense in the accompanying statement of operations has been estimated using the statutory income tax rate of 35%. (5) Commitments and rn?1rin~encies The Vail,~Colorado system leases a business office, has entered into pole rental agreements, and uses certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental expense under these arrangements is recorded in the accompanying statement of operations. Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases were not material. ~i , ~;a' ~ 3 ( t:;' Parliamentary Procedure Consensus Decision•Making O O Q Z N 9. _ If you think you should know more about In this workshop, we examine the process of o vi a ~ ~ ~ ~ n y~ ~ j ~ parliamentary procedure but have put it off because it consensus decision•making in the broader context of z ~ a ~ ~ Par lli,lp~ L11 tg Ot l ~ ' seems dull and complicated, this class is for you.
