Vail, CO 81658 Dear Paul, The follovving transpired between the Town of Vail/VA/Towm of Avon/Eagle Valley Chamber and Latitude 400, inc. A contract was signed stating that the Town would pre-purchase 3046 maps at $3.57 for $10,875.00, (primary distribution price), and would pay an endorsement fee of $8,625, for a total cost of $19,500. Per Kent Rose, the following breakdown is howr the 519,500.00 was split up (differently than what the contract stated). Town of Vail-59,000.00 Vail ,4ssociates- $9,000.00 Town of Avon-31,000.00 - Eagfe Valley Chamber-5500.00 A total of 6,900 maps were printed. Eight hundred maps were of poor print qualifiy and unsalable.. Final total was 6,100. , When the maps were delivered to Vail, ehey were divided (50/50) betinieen the Town of Vail and Vail ,4ssociates. The Town of Avon did not receive any maps, and Latitude 401 sent 75 additional maps to the Eagle Valley Chamber. - In theory V,4 and the Town would receive 34.77/map from the retail stores and the visitor center. The total generated from 3046 maps @ 4.77 is $14,592.42: In theory this was to be put into a separate account to roll over into the second printing. After the first summer, Latitude 400 took over the distribution of the map from VA. V1/e picked up 795 maps from John Bailey on 4-22-93. After seNing through the first. edition, VA will have $2,782.50 in the account set up by Lat 40° (795 maps x $3.50). Lat 40° retained 51.27/map for distribution. At present we have 910 maps in stock. The Town of Vail has -650 maps (eft. We will arrange with Pam Brandemeyer to sell their maps under the same arrangement as with VA. Based on the current rate of sales, we will be out of maps before the World's in September. Kent Rose said he mentioned ehe changes we propose to make on the second printing. I have listed those changes below so it is convenient for you to refer to. Second edatfion specaf6ca$aon$: . • Release date: August 15th, 1994 o Print 5,000-6,500 copies. • Increase the number of colors on backside from 2 to 4. , • Print ghe Vail and Beaver Creek mountains in color and larger on the backside. • Include The World Championship race courses on the map side and on the Vail mountain map on the backside. • Print the World's logo on both sides of the map. • Print on waterproof and tear resistant plastic. Same as Moab East and Moab West. We have had numerous requests for plastic, and feel this change will , greatly enhance the products potential. • Reduced size 25X39 (1st edition size is 31.5" x 41.5") /New scale 1:78,125 or 1"=1.24 miles The new smaller size enables us to print on a six. color press. The map will be a more manageable size for use in the backcountry. ~ Computer generated color image of the map area on the newly designed cover. ~ Updated trail information on the front side and updated/new elevadon profiles and trail descriptions on the backside. The backside will be completely re-designed with all new graphics. • The new plastic map will retail for $8.95. Estimated production cost for 2nd edition: $ 25, 000. 00- $ 2 7, 5 00.00 Endorsement sponsorship: $15,000.00 Additional exposure of the second printing by Latitude 400: • National Trails Day-booth at the People's Fair in Denver, June 4-5th • Interbike-booth in Anaheim, Sept 9-12th • 1994 World Mountain Bike Championships, Sept 10-18th in Vail ~ Lat 40° booth at the International Map Dealers Association in Portland, ME Sept 21-24 •)uly 94 issue of Mountain Bike Magazine. (Reviews of over 150 mtn. bike . maps). • July 94 issue of Outside Magazine-Destinations section. • Lat 40° will submit press releases and product samples to over 35 National and International publications. • With the response we have received on our latest products-Moab East & West, and Aspen-Crested Butte-Gunnison maps, and the reputation Latitude 400 is building, we feel very strongly that a reprinting of the 2nd edition in our new format will definitely give the Vail area a permanent place on the map in the mountain bike world. Based on our sales in other mountain bike meccas, the potential for growth in the Vai,l area is phenomenal. If you have any other questions, or need any addidonal.information, I would be happy to be of assistance. We will be traveling through Vail on our way to Moab this Friday and back again on Tuesday if you would like to meet and go over the specific changes in more detail.

I am asking you to join me in neighborhoods throughout the state on that night from 7-10 p.m. National Night Out is a nationwide crime and drug prevention event. This year, the state campaign has a special momentum. Ttie goal is to enlist every block in every community across the state. Dozens of Colorado communities have signed up already. This year's theme is."Colorado Neighbors Coming Together: To Give Crime and Drugs a Going Away Party." Working toward that goal, my staff recently sent letters to many Colorado neighborhood associations as well as police chiefs, sheriffs and marshals to develop their interest in participating in National Night Out. . Your leadership in the planning of this event is essential. We urge you to work with your local police department, neighborhood and civic groups as they plan prevention activities for August 2. For example, you may proclaim August as "Know Your Neighbor" month. We have enclosed a sample proclamation in addition to information about National Night Out in this packet. I hope to visit several National Night Out events over the course of that weekend. My office is ready to help you in your planning efforts. Please let me know of your activities by contacting Erica Lucchino or Gene Gir6n at the Governor's Community Partnership Office, (303) 894-2750 in Denver or at 1-800-376-2728 outside metropolitan Denver.

RiTamet, Assaciate Director Re: Municipal Involvement in Upcoming Elections Date: 7une 1, 1994 ffntroductioun Half of the State Senate and all of the State House are up for election in IVovember. If you need the names and addresses of any of the. candidates, or if you are unsure in which State House or State Senate District your municipality is located, please call us. Municipal involvement is critical in expressing the local government viewpoint to state legislative candidates. Your municipality's active, informed, and nonpartisan participation is encouraged as one way to get that viewpoint expressed. R1ow 6s the Rearee for this communecateoae to begfiae. Candidates are getting political action committee questionnaires and surveys in order to gauge their positions on numerous statewide issues many of which affect the powers and operations of cities and towns. What follows is a brief discussion on how your municipality can become involved with candidates. Your Municepa9ity's duevo9veeaeenQ - Setting the Tone While municipal funds cannot be used to influence the outcome of these races (1-45-116(1)(a), C.R.S., prohibits a municipality from, among other things, making any contribution or contribution-in-kind in campaigns involving the nomination, retention or election of any person to any public office), appropriate municipal activity, especially coming from your elected officials, will certainly help the candidates get familiar with the municipal perspective. Your municipality's involvement doesn't have to be fancy or slick. In fact, the more informal, the better. Become familiar with the candidates and the positions they have taken. Invite them to meet with the Town Board or City Council. Or, invite them over for coffee at the municipal building. Get them acquainted with your operations and the services you provide. Especially point out programs which have- been supported with state funds; for example, the new community center built with energy impact funds, the street improvements financed with highway users tax fund revenue, or the new ballfield built with , lottery funds. Let candidates know how important local revenue sources are to your city or town, especially the property and sales tax. Explain to them how your municipality is impacted by the TABOR amendment. ~ Whatever information or material you provide to, one candidate should be provided to all candidates. This will impress upon the candidates that your municipality is an excellent information resource an attribute . upon which a lasting relationship can be built. ' Elected municipal officials may want to become involverl in candidate campaigns. While there is no better linkage than an elected municipal official letting a candidate know about the municipality's concerns, it is wise to make it clear that the involvement of an elected official should not be construed in any way as an endorsement of that candidate by the municipality. Your Municipality's Ineolvement - Presenting the Issues Please find enclosed with this memorandum an issues paper we prepared for state legislative candidates which you may find of interest. We have attempted to identify a few key, emerging statewide issues of municipal interest. Your municipality might wish to use this material as a starting point for developing your own approach. You might want to develop your own issues statement modeled after the League's statement. In any event, the more personalized the approach and the closer the statement matches your municipality's concerns, the more impact you are likely to have on a candidate. You should outline in your statement what services your city or town provides, the importance of state- shared revenues in financing those services, and previous bills in the legislature that may have affected those services or programs and the positions the municipality has taken on them. If your municipality is home rule, say so making sure to point out its importance to the community. Emphasize your municipality's support for and participation in the League. Get a pledge from each candidate that, if elected, the candidate will stay in regular communication with your municipality to get input on emerging issues and bills that have been or will be introduced. If you have a legislative development process in place, explain to the candidates how that process takes place and who from the governing body and staff aze the appropriate contact points for communicating on legislative issues. Conclusion If your municipality develops some type of handout for candidates, please share it with us. If you need any assistance, please don't hesitate to call us. Whatever, success the League may enjoy under the Gold Dome next year will be due lazgely to your municipality's participation and your attention to this impoRant aspect of intergovernmental relations.

Mamet, Associate I)irector Re: Municipal Government Background Date: June 1, 1994 ffN7CIl8OIIDUCTdOlY The purpose of this background memorandum is to provide you with some brief information on municipal government in Colorado, the I.eague and its function, and some key issues of statewide municipal concern. We hope you find the following information useful. MUNdCIEPAIL GOVIERNMIEN'li' An area becomes a municipality by incorporating itself as a city or a town. There aze 267 cities and towns in Colorado: 191 are statutory municipalities, 74 are home rule municipalities, and 2 are territorial charter municipalities. Towns are incorporated areas generally 2,000 and under in population, and cities aze incorporated areas generally above 2,000 in population. Some differences in organizational structure and legal powers exist between cities and towns. Based upon current state population data, 72 % of Colorado's citizens reside within municipalities. In addition to municipalities, the state has 62 counties, 176 school districts, over 800 special districts, and 1 consolidated city and county government (Denver, which is also home rule). Hoagee ][8ule, Statutory ana? T¢rrnBoreaR Charter 1bI[unecipalitie,s. Home rule for municipalities has a rich legal history in Colorado, both in the state's Constitution and statutes. This legal framework has been in effect since the turn of the century, first for Denver (when it was consolidated as a city and county in 1902) and with the option at the same time for other municipalities over 2,000 in population to adopt home rule. Powers of home rule cities.were expanded with the adoption of another constitutional amendment in 1912. In 1970, the Colorado Constitution was amended again to grant to the citizens of any municipality, regardless of population size, the power to become a home rule municipality. Today, 74 municipalities throughout the state aze home rule. These home rule municipalities include within their boundazies 64% of the state's population. - In general, municipal home rule is premised upon the public policy that the citizens of a city or town in Colorado . should have the right to decide how their local government should be organized and local problems solvetl. Article XX of the Colorado Constitution grants to home rule municipalities "the full right of self-government in local and municipal matters." The home rule process is initiated with an election establishing a study commission made up of the municipality's residents, who meet to write a charter governing the affairs of the municipality. Then, an election is held on charter adoption or rejection. In short, home rule represents the essence of local control for cities and towns in Colorado, providing important policy and legal flexibility to a municipality and its citizens. There are 191 other cities and towns in Colorado which are statutory municipalities. Statutory municipalities are under greater legal control of the General Assembly with respect to their creation, organization, and powers than are home rule municipalities. In general, a home rule municipality looks first to its charter and enabling ` ordinances to see what it can and cannot do; a statutory municipality looks first to state law, generally Title 31 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, to ascertain what it can and cannot do. Finally, two other municipalities, Black Hawk and Georgetown, operate under charters originally granted to them by the territorial state government. These two municipalities are known as territorial charter cities. Their charters are amended from time to time by the General Assembly. Mlunicepal Revenue Sources. Among the major state revenue sources received by municipalities are: the motor fuel tax, vehicle registration fees, cigarette tax, severance tax, lottery, police and fire pensions funds, mineral lease, and various state budget programs. In addition to tYiese imporfant state reveriues, a brief review bfmunicipal own source revenue is in order, the first and foremost being the sales and use tax. In Colorado, municipalities and counties generally may levy up to a four-cent local sales and/or use tax. The state generally has three cents reserved to itself for the general fund, which is in addition to the local government levy. T'he most recent data indicates that 41 counties and 200 municipalities are levying a sales and/or use tax. Forty-four of the municipalities administer their own sales tax with the balance being collected and administered by the state Department of Revenue. 1Vlunicipal sales talces have been on the Colorado fiscal scene since 1948. Municipal sales and use taxes in Colorado constitute 68 % of municipal tax revenues presently. As emphasis upon the sales tax has increased among municipal officials in the state, reliance upon the property tax has declined. The municipal portion of the property tax, as a percentage levied by all units of local government in Colorado, has declined from 21.4% in 1945 to 4.9% in 1993 (excluding Denver). Nevertheless, the property tax remains a very important tax source for many municipalities. THE LEAGUE The Colorado Municipal League was founded in 1923 to provide technical assistance and advocacy on behalf of our municipal membership. The League now represents 254 cities and, towns comprising over 99.9 % of the municipal population in Colorado. The League conducts a variety of different programs and workshops; answers numerous inquicies on hundreds of local government questions; produces new publications of interest for municipalities, and follows well over half of all measures introduced during a regular legislative session. A 19-member Executive Board elected by the membership governs the League. Several standing committees of the League meet and develop l, egislative and policy recoinmendations throughout the year. This work is then presented to the League's Policy Committee, to which every member municipality can send a representative. In addition, the League has 19 sections (i.e., planning officials, policy chiefs, city managers) and 14 regional districts which can also be represented on this Policy Committee. Final actions are then taken on the recommendations of the Policy Committee by the Executive Board. Our Executive Board and Policy Committee meet during each legislative session to develop League positions on bills and issues coming before the legislature. 1994 S'g'A'I'E6VIDE ISSUES OF NIUNYCEPAL CONCEItN . ][.ocal Control. The League believes strongly in the philosophy of local control allowing municipal governments maximum flexibility and discretion in levying taxes and fees, carrying out local policy, and delivering public services. We encourage you to consider this philosophy as you develop your own position on issues. 2 Loca9 SaHes Tax. Over 60 exemptions to the state sales and use tax base have been enacted over the past 20 , years. These exemption have substantially reduced the state base, thereby restricting revenues available for state . programs. Just as importantly, these exemptions have als6 hurt municipalities and counties in the state sales tax collection system because, with the exception of the exemptions for food, residential power, and machinery, their " sales tax base must conform by law with that of the state's. Also, various proposals have been considered in " recent years to increase the state sales and use tax rate for various state programs. As municipalities and counties continue to increase their reliance upon the sales tax locally (which thereby reduces reliance upon the property tax), the League opposes raising the state's rate. Finally, the League strongly supports retention of the authority for home rule municipalities to collect their own sales talces and determine their own sales tax bases. The I.eague continues its cooperative efforts with private business interests to streamline the local sales tax collection system without state preemption. V+/e encourage your serious support of these local sales talc base and rate prerogatives and their direct relationship to municipal finances as you consider your own position on state-local finance issues. TA130R. Municipal. officials are continuing to cope with the effects of the TABOR amendment, adopted in IVovember of 1992. For example, the I.eague's most recent survey of municipal fiscal conditions shows that implementation of the local revenue and spending limits in the measure remain a major fiscal problem. Especially burdensome are the uncertainties in interpreting TABOR and the additional administrative and litigation costs involved with TABOR. We urge you to avoid unnecessary or harsh interpretations of TABOR which affect local governments. We encourage you to adopt a positive, cooperative approach in working with local officials towards further implementation of TABOR, and to support changes and modifications to TABOR as they relate to its continued impact upon cities and towns. ]Fisca9 IEair P9ay. Colorado cities and towns are impacted by many state finance policies. Adherence to the following "fiscal fair play" objectives, we believe, will enhance a positive relationship and partnership between state and municipal officials and enable municipalities to meet reasonable service expectations of their residents without infringing on the state's ability to address its other responsibilities. To this end, the League would urge you to: V Support sharing with municipalities equitable portions of existing and increased revenues derived from traditional state-collected, municipally shared revenues (i.e.,cigarette tax, highway users tax fund, lottery). ~ Support improving cooperation and procedures for determining the impact of proposed legislation and regulations on cities and towns, especially through the fiscal note process. ~ Avoid or exercise restraint in cash funding state programs affecting municipalities, especially in the areas of state technical assistance, in programs where municipal participation is mandated by state law, and in regulatory programs affecting municipalities where a benefit is derived by the public at large which should be supported by the state general fund. Mandates. The impact of state and federal mandates upon local government is a major policy concern of many municipal officials. 1'owards that end, we urge the state to resist imposing additional, mandated responsibilities upon cities and towns without providing the financial resources or flexibility to fund such mandates. The League opposes state actions which attempt to restrict the prerogative afforded by TABOR for local governments to reduce or end their subsidies to state-mandated programs. However, the League does not encourage municipalities to return any programs back to the state at this time. State and local leaders also must continue working together to convince the federal government to resist additional mandates being placed upon us collectively. 3 Governmental Immunity. During recent sessions of the General Assembly there have been repeated attempts offered by the plaintiffs baz to expand the liability of state and local government agencies through changes to the ; state's Governmental Immunity Act. These changes do not come without increased fiscal costs to the taxpayers. IThe current Act strikes a fair balance between plaintiffs and government, in our opinion. Please be sensitive to ' this important local government issue. ~j Privatization. The League supports the use of private sector businesses to provide public services when determined by municipal offtcials to be in the public interest. Various proposals would mandate privatization solutions by the state upon local governments. The League opposes this, and would request your opposition as well. Criminal Justice. The League supports state and community-based intervention and prevention programs and state initiatives which respect the key role of communities and local government officials. The League also supports revisions to the state's Childrens' Code which provide appropriate municipal jurisdiction in cases involving juveniles. The League supports ensuring that municipal governments retain flexibility in implementing federal and stafe criminal justice programs. CONCLUSION As you consider your own position on these matters, please keep the municipal government perspective in mind. We hope the information we have provided you in this memorandum is useful. Should you need additional material or assistance, please fee free to contact us. , i ~ 4 . . - . , rA AV E_R C.R~. . • ' ' - - . . ~ ' Iff, VAU . , ' HOT TIIPS F1tOM T~IE VAIL VALLEY . ~ - - ~ ~ - .

Frontage Road Vail Colorado 81658 ~ Dear Mayor Osterfoss and Members of the Town Council, Thank you for taking the time to meet us with at your May 24th worksession to discuss Intermountain neighbor- hood issues. We felt that it was a successful inter- change. , We would greatly appreciate it if we could be informed of any further scheduled public discussion of neighbor- hood dog control, street lighting and bike path con- struction in Intermountain. It appears that niany of the 4ai1 neighborhoods share the same problems. As a follow up to the lighting discussion I would like to offer the followinge - Lighting for pedestrian ways that serve bus stops, park areas and commercial centers appear to be a univer- sal need. As Jo Brown pointed out, the most hazardous area in our neighborhood is the between Kinnickinick and the West Vail Interchange because of the number of pe- destrians accessing the bus stop as well as the Vail Das . Schone shopping center. - Possibly the conflict between the glare generated by the conventional high overhead lights and the need for safety could be resolved by using low pedestal type lights. - Lighting requirements for vehicular safety and pedes- trian safety should be considered separately. Let's start researching the quality and availability of pedes-. trian way lighting that would meet both the Department of Public Works requirements as well as those of neigh- borhood residents. Again thank you for your time and.your openess to our concerns.

Two days of general session presentations, workshops, case studies and round-table discussions offer a forum to better understand the business opportunities and related considerations that make up responsible tourism growth management in mountain resorts during warm weather months. General Session presentations will address elements of destination growth and management, toward the creation of a model for evaluating and implementing tourism marketing programs. Workshops will give attendees the tools to apply elements of the model to their own unique situations when evaluating summer tourism options, and the related environmental, social, and political consequences. Case studies and round-table diseussions will encourage frank discussions about the experience of others and the lessons learned.

VAIL CO 81657 Dear PEGGY OSTERFOSS: Vail Associates is delighted to be working with Vail Valley Medical Center this year to coordinate a community-wide Health Fair. The Health Fair will be held Friday, July 29 from 7 am - 7 pm, at the Eagle-Vail Pavilion. I have agreed to tackle the job of communicating with local businesses and coordinating health fair registration. If we all work together, we can make the Health Fair ahuge success! The wave of the future is preventative medicine, aka wellness. Keeping employees healthy saves time and money for everyone. The Vail Valley Health Fair will include health screenings, information booths and many other useful displays, all designed to provide helpful health tips. The goal of the Fair is to educate participants about their cunent health status and give them information to help them stay healthier longer! It is not however, a substitute for a comprehensive physical by a physician. For people in the Valley who do not have a doctor, a number of physicians will be available in the evening hours for people to meet and ask questions. I will be sending you flyers and pre-registration forms in the near future. I hope you in turn will distribute them to all of your employees. Because of the logistics involved, we would appreciate your help in gathering the pre-registration forms for your employees and forwarding them to the hospita: as a group. A discounted rate is available on some of the tests for those who pre-register. Because this is a community event, the organizing committee welcomes additional volunteers and/or your financial support to help defray expenses. If you have any questions, please call me at 479-3045 or contact Patti Pickering at Vail Valley Medical Center, 479-7260. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and support!

Frontage Road West Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mayor Osterfoss: On June 7, 1994, I signed into law Senate Bill 94-216, "Concerning Certain Requirements for the Development of Large Planned Communities Under the 'Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act'." I have signed this bill because I believe it provides added flexibility to the development of large planned communities without compromising the protection and rights of those who purchase properties in these communities. I also am assured that this legislation in no way infringes upon local government land use regulatory authority or local government financial powers. . While I have signed this bill, I am concerned with several questions raised about the bill by local officials. Specifically, these officials are concerned with the length of time developers retain certain controls over these communities. They are also concerned with the use of assessments to finance. certain elements within these communities. To respond to these, concerns, I have asked Larry Kallenberger, executive director of the Department of Local Affairs, to convene a formal "Working Group on Development of Large Planned Communities". The purpose of this group will be to address these issues and suggest possible statutory revisions for the next legislation session. Honorable Peggy Osterfoss June 8, 1994 . Page Two I have received assurances from the private sector developers and local officials that they will actively participate in this working group to accomplish a legislative compromise that will be fair, that will ' protect consumer and development interests as well as government interests, and that will provide for quality growth in Colorado.. Thank you for your interest in this legislation. I invite you to participate in this working group and look forward to a successful report this fall. 4Gov cer eRomer ernor RR/aa ' • n ~ • ~,vwww- Vx ~ . : .

CALL TO ORDER President Nick Teverbaugh called the meeting to order at approximately 8:45 am. at the Brown Palace HoteL 2. CONSIDERATION OF FEBR,UARY 4t 1994 MII~TLTTES The February 4th, 1994 minutes were presented for approval. The membership t,nan;mously approved the minutes as presented. 3. GENERAL INTR.ODUCTION Nick Teverbaugh explained that we would be meeting with Gov. Romer from 1:30 - 2:00 p.m. at the Colorado History Museum after the luncheon with the legislature. Nick also explained that Rich Mereditb, Tico Embury, Sam Mamet and Jan Gerstenberger would be mak.ing presentations to the membership as part of the mornings agenda. 4. FISCAL REPORT, The fiscal report was included in the packet. Daryl Shrum gave an overview of the financial position and handed out a summary of the Legislative Tour expenditures. There was discussion that the membership needs to analyze CAST's financial position as it relates to existing and future work programs and special projects. This topic will be discussed at the annual meeting in Vail. b. RECAP OF TI-E COPPER MOLTNTAIlN LEGISLATIVE TOUR Rennetta Lueckenhoff handed out memorandums concerning a summary of the round table discussions that were held at the Legislative Tour as well as questionnaire responses from the 26 legislators that were in attendance. The membership briefly discussed some of the h;ghl;ohts of the tour. It was discussed that in the future additional efforts need to be made to document that the tour is business oriented and the premise of a~unket" must be diniinished. It was stressed that the real importance of the Legislative Tour is to provide an opportunity for the CAST members to interface with state elected officials. Furthermore, the legislative members enjoy conversing among themselves in an informal environment. It was decided that CAST should create a subcommittee at the June. meeting in Vail, in order that the future format of the Legislative Tour can be discussed. In summary, IVick stated that the tour was very successful and he believed that the recorders on Sunday mornuig did an ezcellent job s»mma~zing the previous day's round table discussions. 6. COLORADO TOURISM BOAR.D Rich Meredith indicated that the Tourism Board may be out of existence by June 30th, 1994. As a result, the CA,ST membership postponed appointing a representative to the Tourism Board. STATEWIDE TR,ANSPOftTATION FINANCE STEERING COM2VIITTEE Amy Margerum volunteered to be the CAST representative to the Steering Committee. RICH MEREDITH - COLORADO TOUR,ISM BOAR.D UPDATE Rich gave an excellent overview of what has transpired since the voters declined to reinstate the .2% tourism tax in 1Vovember of 1993. It appears that the State budget will inciude $263,000 to run the six State welcome centers. Nach indicated that it was unlikely that the welcome centers could be run effectively for $263,000. R.ich stated that C . CAST - Denver, Colorado Brown Palace • APRIL 7th, 1994 PAGE 3 the Tourism Board did request 1.4 million from the State's general fund in order that the 1/800 COLORADO number, the welcome centers and the fulf'illment pieces (vacation guides) could continue through 1994. Rich was not real optimistic that the legislature is going to generate additional funding other than for the welcome centers mentioned above. The legislature seems to be very reluctant to take any actions due to results of the recent Tabor and the tourism tax elections. There was considerable discussion about the Authority Bill, which will to be introduced by Senator Timan Bishop. When reviewing the article entitled The Pronosed Colorado Travel Tourism Authoritv in the CAST agenda packet, the following minor changes have been made si.nce publication: A. The fee would be paid quarterly. B. The Governor would appoint 15 of the 21 board members. The industry would chose sig representatives ma.king the total board consist of 21 members.- If the Legislature did approve the Authority concept, it would go into effect October lst, 1994 with the members' first payments being due January lst, 1995. In other words, the funding requested by the Tourism Board is (1.4 million) to fll the 1994 funding gap. Again, Rich is very hesitant of the Authority having much success due largely to the current antigovernmental climate in the State. R.ich stressed that the private sector industry is generating money towards the promotion of a statewide tourism effort. He explained several fundraisers and other events that have been undertaken. Rich stated that 130,000 phone calls have been answered by his limited staff from January lst through the current day. Each phone call costs between $.60 and $.80 just to answer.it. These costs do not include any fulf'illment responses. R.ich stressed that under no circumstances should the State of Colorado give up the 1/800 COLOR.ADO number. It would be an advantage to any given business to acquire that particular number due to its past use and exposure. Rich also indicated that there were 850,000 calls answered during fi.scal year 1993. Sam Mamet asked R.ich if he had been able to talk to the various counties and cities/towns that have a lodging tax in order that those taxes somehow could be leveraged with a larger statewide effort. Rich indicated that working with lodging tax organizations had potential but did not have the humaii resources to follow up on the idea. 9. TICO EMBURY - CITIZENS FOR BALANCED TR,ANSPORTATION -(CBT) Tico explained over the course of about one-half hour, the work his committee has been doing on transportation issues. Attached to these minutes is an April 7th, 1994 outline submitted by Tico which egplains the highlights of his presentation to CAST. CBT has also sent a rather lengthy memo to each county, city or town in the State concerning their proposed ideas. In summary, CBT believes that some major issues are air pollution, motor vehicle fuel tas increases (user fee) and expanded public transportation. At this point in time, CBT has not received much support from the State Legislature or from the Colorado Department of Transportation, 10. SAM MAMET AND JAN GERSTENBERGER - LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Jan Gerstenberger talked about Tico's presentation and indicated that there has been some concern that CBT's approach has been too anti-car. Jan also gave an update on the various organizations working on transportation issues in the State of Colorado. It appears that a transportation question will not be on the November 1994 ballot. A 1995 ballot question is more likely to occur. There was considerable discussion among the membership ~ CAST - Denver, Colorado Brown Palace APRIL 7th, 1994 PAGE 4 concerning the Clean Air Act and what it meant to the various members that were in non-containment areas. CAST may want to discuss this topic in the future because there appears to be vast confusion concerning the Clean Air Act and the topic of air pollution in general. Sam Mamet discussed Amendment 1's local growth calculation. and if the legislature is going to agree with the Colorado property tax administrators interpretation of the law. If the tax administrators' approach is overturned, then most of the s}d areas will be drastically hurt in terms of Amendment 1 local growth calculations due to the vast amount of public ]ands in CAST communities. Sam discussed Doug Bruce's election reform amendment which is known as Amendment 12. He handed out a publication concerning Amendment 12, authored by Geoff Wilson, on March 31st, 1994. The publication prepared by Geoff is rather extensive and all municipalities should thoroughly read the publication. There is still a possibility that there could be 30 ballot issues this comi ng November. Ballot Box Government is a major concern of CML and CML will be creating a formal committee to discuss this issue in the near future. It was discussed that C1VIL has submitted a model resolution concerning public/private participation in a previous CML publication. Sam and Jan asked the membership if the various CAST communities would go ahead and adopt the model resolution or prepare their own resolution concern; io this topic. This topic continues to be of interest to the private sector and C1VIL would like to document that the various municipalities are seriously interested. Sam passed out a memo concerning the Governmental Immunity Act legislation which has been sponsored by ftepresentative Tim Foster. It is still a major concern to CML but its contents have been diluted. Sam also briefly discussed Senate Bills 69 and 194. 11. 1VlISCELLANEOUS Bob Filson discussed various problems that municipalities who operate electric and gas utilities are having with rural electrical associations, etc. It was decided that Bob Filson would prepare a resolution concerning this subject, which would be submitted to Daryl Shrum for distribution to the membership. Nick quickly explained the topics that he would be reviewing with the legislature at lunch. There was considerable discussion concerning.what CAST's position is concerning statewide tourism promotion efforts. This topic should be discussed at the next meeting. CAST members decided that Nick Teverbaugh, Bill Crank and Steve Vf7est will be the nominating committee to make recommendations for the ma.ke-up of the next Board. The committee will be meeting prior to the next CAST meeting. VfTith no further business to be discussed the meeting was adjourned at approximately 11:45 am. The next meeting is scheduled in Vail on June 23rd at the annual CML conference. Respectfully submitted, / .

FRISCO, COLORADO 80443 . . . , MEMORANDUM TO: Golorado Assn. of Ski Town Membership FROM: Elizabeth Black, Town of Frisco DATE: April 15; 1994 SUBJECT: Notes From the Colorado Tourism Board Advisory Council Meeting of April 13, 1994 . The Advisory. Council met on Tuesday, April 13, 1994 at 11:00 at the Hotel Raddision. There was a very brief presentation by the Colorado Tourism Board and Rich Meredith regarding the status of Senate Bi1194-208, the establishment of a tourism authority. The Tourism Board requested that, members of the Advisory Council come to the Senate Committee hearing later that day to testify in favor of the bill. There was an announcement that the cultural tax supporters were opposing the authority bill in order to protect their efforts and expectations to preserve the cultural and arts tax in the metro area. On Tuesday 4-12 Tilly Bishop, the sponsor of the bill, «-anted it introduced to the committee; however, Watenburg refused, particularly since there was no fiscal amount articulated in the bill at that time. Rich Meredith responded that they were in the process of getting a fiscal amount for the bill based on different participation levels. "1'he Tourism Board felt that the bill would be okay in committee but would need help in the floor of the Senate. The Committee then discussed the merits of different collection procedures either the Department of Revenue vs. a private authorized bank. As it turned out, the bill passed committee 5-4; however, many of the provisions of the bill were gutted as reported by the Denver papers. 668-5276 FAX 668-0677 Denver Direcf 893-1855 F 0 Continental Gala Event An interesting item in this meeting was the news that Continental Airlines raised approximately $180,000 for statewide promotional efforts. The Committee at that point discussed ways in which to spend this money and a number of proposals were presented. They were: 1) A$20,000 expenditure to go to Longwoods Research to continue their state-wide market research. There was a lot of concern that by dropping the on-going research, it would be very costly to reactivate it at a later date and start all over again. 2) $105,000 of the money should be used to maintain staff. There was a proposal from the campground association that Meredith, his assistant and receptionist should stay on board until the end of the year, and this money should be paid for their salaries to coordinate and promote statewide marketing and tourism. 3) There was a matching funds proposal from qualified bidders for marketing pieces. 4) There was a$15,000 start-up fee for the creation of a small office to continue international marketing that would collect substantially more money for actual fulfillment and distribution. 5) The creation of a political action committee toward which all the gala funds would go to the support of legislative candidates who support tourism throughout the state. 6) The entire amount of money should be used for further support and maintenance of the 1- 800-COLORADO number. 7) The CBT's advertising agency should be contacted to develop proposals based on different amounts of money within the $180,000 cap. 8) A public relations response campaign should be developed to counter-balance the bad publicity that the state has received because of the defeat of the tourism tax. After considerable discussion on all of these proposals, it was decided that the committee will wait until after the legislative session, May 11, to determine how the funds should be used. In the meantime, a small subcommittee was formed to create an evaluation criteria system and process for evaluation of each of the.proposals that will be later submitted to the Council for consideration. This was articulated in terms of a motion and the Advisory Council passed the motion by a vote of 12-3. Meanwhile, the representative for Continental stated that she was getting a lot of pressure from Continental to announce in a press release that $180,000 was raised for purposes of statewide tourism. There was a consensus of the Advisory Council that the press release could jeopardize the on-going legislative discussion on the amount of money that could be afforded for tourism purposes. As you recall from our last CAST rneeting, the legislature was considering $253,000 out of $1.4 million for the upkeep of the visitor centers. That aniount now has been increased to $473,000 spearheaded by DOLA and would be issued as "grants." At the time of the Advisory ~ Council meeting, the JBC was reconciling various proposals in response to the $1.4 million request. Finally, Rich Meredith encouraged the members to participate in the Senate Committee hearing on Senate bi11208. The committee was hearing the bill at 1:30 later that afternoon. The Advisory Council meeting.adjourned at 12:40.

We were pleased to see - that-the Governor referred to the need for continuing to expand • the scope of the department into all forms of transportation. The Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST) is an organization of 21 municipalities whose economies are largely dependent upon tourism, especially skiing. ke actively participate in many of the programs of the Colorado Municipal League and host, with Colorado Ski Country USA, a Legislative Tour for the State Legislature each January or February in one of our communities. I have enclosed a copy of the video we produced for our recent Legislative Tour as well as an information sheet to give you a better idea of who we are and some of the issues we consider important. Also enclosed is the list of discussion topics at the Legislative Tour (with transportation at the top) and the executive summary from a study conducted by the firm of Browne, Bortz, and Coddington on Resort Towns and State Revenues. We appreciated having David Ruble present background information on the condition of highways and funding at our December meeting. We have also been added to the mailing list for the Statewide Transportation Finance Steering Committee and have appointed Amy Nargerum (Town Nanager of Aspen) as our representative. Effective statewide transportation is critical to our existence and.livelihood and we look forward to working with you in forming , long range solutions to Colorado's transportation problems. If you have any questions or see an opportunity where CAST can play a part, please contact me.

COLCY-RADO April 8, 1994 Dear Tourism Summit Atiendee: Since the Tourism Summit last December, our industry has made great progress in developing an alternative for funding promoiion of Colorado as a travel destination. This letier is inienoed io update you on ihe work that has been completed, and to secure your support as we enler the criiical process of introduction and movement of our bill through the legisiature. The consensus in our December meeting was io move quickly to establish a funding mechanism for travel promotion, other than taxation. From ihe Summit atiendees, a group of approximately 50 industry "Siakeholders" volunieered to work on developing an equitable and effeciive alternative. Colorado Tourism Board 1675 Broadti•ay, Suite 2320 The Sta;ceholders met on JanuarY 31,1994 and endorsed develoPment of enablin9 le9islation that would Denver, Co 80202 permit self-assessrrient by businesses in the industry. A Sieering Commitiee of seven business (303) 592-5570 represenlatives was established from the Sia}cehoider group. They were charged with ihe task of (303) 7.92-5406 fzX investigation, evaluation and development of proposed legislation. Over the course of the past two months, the Steering Committee has met on 10 occasions and has accomplished a great deal. Additional resources have been provided by the Attorney General's office, ihe Generai Assembly's Legal Services, and several public relations, advertising and consulting firms. The resulis of the hard work of these volunteers is reflecied in Senaie Bill #SB-94-208 which was introduced lhis morning by Senator Tilman M. Bishop, and while you may already be aware of most of the bili's provisions, you may wish to review ihe enclosed summary. Also enclosed is a list of the Stakeholder and Steering Committees, who should be congratulaied for their exiraordinary efforts to bring us to this critical point. , As mentioned earlier, you may already be aware of these developmenis through either the Town Meetings undenvay in 54 locations around the Siate, or ihrough coordinaied media efforis. Feedback from meetings has been integrated into the proposal 'and you should know that there has been significant endorsement. It is imperative that over the next few days and weeks as the bill is debaled by the Legislature, you express your support direcily io your elected represeniatives by telephoning their office. Letiers are weicome, but we are now in a very "real-time" crunch that is best supporled by telephone. Familiarize - yourself wiih the information and call. Novr is ihe iime for each of us io act. This bill represenis our best chance io taJ<e responsibility for and conirol of our own indusiry. The unique process we are engaged in is a model for other states, and represenis the firsi truly successful collaborative effort of diverse travel and tourism related businesses to come together as an indusiry on our own behalf. VJhi(e ihere has been vigorous and difficuli debaie, closure and consensus have been achieved. On behalf of the Sieering Commiitee, the S12Jceholders, and your tellow Summit atiendees, thank you for your support. Sincerely, b Rich Meredith . Executive Director .
