MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROIVI: Robert W. IVIcLaurin
Town Manager
DATE: September 16, 1994
SUBJECT: Town 1Vlanager's Report
Chapel Bridge Proiect Undate
As we discussed last week, we have been experiencing problems with sedimentation control
on the Chapel Bridge Project. After several attempts, it appears that we have resolved this
problem and the project is proceeding. The Army Corp of Engineers and the Department of
Wildlife have signed off on the revised sedimentation control program. Because of the delays
associated with the sedimentation problems, the project is two or three weeks behind
schedule. We anricipate this project to be complete before Thanksgiving.
Ted Kendall Park Undate ~
The improvements at Ted Kendall Park are also running slighdy behind schedule. At this
point, we believe this project will be completed in mid October.
Covered Bridge Proiect Undate
We are currently finalizing the contract for the renovation of the Covered Bridge. The
contractor for this project will be G.A. Western Contractors. The temporary pedestrian bridge
has been ordered and we are awaiting delivery. As soon as the temporary bridge arrives, the
contractor will mobilize and begin work. This project is also scheduled to be completed by
Thanksgiving.
Ore House Awning
Please find the attach transcription of the discussion about the Ore House which occurred on
May 17, 1994. As indicated in the transcript, 1Vlerv Lapin made a motion to approve the
awning as is, with the condirion that the owner agree not to fuTther enclose the deck. Jan
Strauch requested Merv modify his motion to reflect the addition of flowers and lighting on
the dec. The motion was modified and passed 3-1.
~
Thus is it is cleaz that the addition of flowers and lights were a condition of allowing the
awning to remain as originally constructed. We have conveyed this informarion to Larry
Anderson and he is working to get these items installed. I have also asked Tom Moorhead to
revise the lease agreement with the Ore House to reflect these changes. -
Waste Management Policv r
Attached you will find a draft version of the Waste Management Policy for your review
" (attachment 1). The issue of waste management is at the forefront of environmental concerns
throughout the country, including Eagle County, Colorado. The Eagle County Landfill is
filling up much faster than anticipated due to the fact that this area is grovaing_ much faster
than expected. The Town of Vail is the home to 6 of the top 10 waste generators in the
county. It is prudent and inevitable that we begin to implement responsible waste . management activities.
The Policy outlines the waste management hierarchy which calls for 1) waste minimization,
2) reuse and waste toxicity reduction, 3) waste recycling, and finally 4) land disposal. This
order of priorities is generally accepted as the most environmentally sound. The cost
preference of buying recycled products has been set at 10% over the cost of virgin materials.
However, there is every likelihood that the Town will save money because many recycled
products are becoming less expensive, and will reduce our dependance on the landf'ill.
The policy ca11s for three recycling containers to be placed around town. Public works has
given cost estimates for construction, and offered to collect the materials and deliver them to
We Recycle. With the assistance of the Vail Board of Realtors Environmental Committee, it
seems there will be private donations to cover the entire cost of construcrion.
Please note the T.O.V. recycling icon this icon will be on letter head, envelopes, business
cards etc.. In addition, the icon has been used for t-shirts to give to Clean Up Day graup
leaders, and some for general sale. RAM/aw

ATTACHMENT 1
T01i!!N OF VAIL
VVASTE MANAGEIVIEiVT POLICV
I. Purpose Statement
The purpose of this document shall be to set into policy the methods used by the Town
of Vail for waste management. Waste management issues are of growing concern
everywhere in the country. The Eagle County landfill, located near Wolcott, began
accepting waste in December of 1990 with an expected lifespan of 25 years.
Currently Eagle County estimates indicate that due to rapid growth in the county there
may only be about 12.5 years of remaining capacity in the existing landfill. According
to the Eagle County Master Plan, in a 1990 census Eagle County is one of the fastest
. growing counties in Colorado. The permanent population of Eagle County is
approximately 17,852, but the peak season population can balloon to over 80,000. An
adjusted population average of 48,188 shall be used for comparison.
According to the Eagle County Solid Waste Management Plan (July 1993) the adjusted
average annual population in the Town of Vail is 19,051. This indicates that 40% of
the population of Eagle County is represented in Vail. While this policy is not meant
to address waste management for the entire town, as a municipal government entity
we are in a prime position to be a leader in environmental stewardship and to teach by
example.
The waste management goal of the Town is to foster an integrated waste management
system in a manner appropriate to the characteristics of the waste stream. The
following waste management practices are in order of preference:
1. Waste minimization;
2. Reuse/waste toxicity reduction;
3. Waste recycling;
4. Land disposal.
Although waste reduction is, of necessity, a multi-jurisdictional issue involving federal,
state, county, and local efforts, the Town of Vail has identified a waste reduction rofe
for itself. That role is one of being a promoter of waste reduction through waste
reduction education and technical assistance, by setting an example with in-house
government waste reduction and recycling activities, and a reward system for citizens
or groups showing above average attempts to reduce waste (the Mauri Nottingham
Environmental Award). These efforts will target both residential and business waste
generators.
1
II. Waste Minimization
The following actions shall be taken by the Town of Vail to minimize the generation of
waste materials:
1. Routing envelopes should be reused as much as possible. Documents from the
Personnel Department; and some-large agenda documents should be routed rather than
multiple copies being made.
2. When making copies of documents both sides of copy paper should be utilized.
3. Implement the use of computer mail and voice mail as soon as these systems are
on line to reduce the need for written messages.
4. Use waste paper printed on one side only to produce note pads for internal use.
5. Discontinue whenever possible the use of self stick type mailing labels as they are
not recyclable.
6. Paper used for copying, memo's, and messages should be white or pastel in color
to simplify the consolidation for recycling.
7. Refillable pens shall be used in place of disposable types.
8. Use of single use type food service items including disposable plates and cups, and
plastic silverware shall be minimized. This could include the purchase of mugs with
the Town of Vail recycling icon for use by visitors and employees.
9. Laser printer, fax machine and typewriter ribbons shall be sent for recharging
whenever possible.
10. Where possible !ow wattage, long life lightbulbs shall be utilized.
III. Procurement '
It shall be the policy to purchase products for use within the Town of Vail that are
recyclable or recycled products where those products are of comparable quality,
product life and price when compared to products produced with virgin materials. A
cost preference for recycled products shall be set at 10%, to be allowed for the
purchase of recyclable or recycled products over the cost of virgin products.
Consideration shall also be given to the purchase of nondisposable products which
have a longer life than the disposable products. This policy will be reviewed annually
by Environmental Health staff, and a report given to the Town Manager.
A. Designate Recycled Products
The following products shall be incfuded under this "Waste Management Policy".
2
1. Recycled paper and paper products. (Including, but not limited to:
writing and copying paper, letterhead, envelopes, business cards,
napkins, towels, toilet tissue and facial tissue.) When available
towels, napkins, toilet tissue and facial tissue should be of a
nonbleached nature;
2. Lubricating oil and hydraulic oil with recycled oil content;
3. Retreaded and remolded tires;
4. Products made from recycled tire rubber, including rubber
mats, garden hoses, and traffic control cones;
5. Recharged laser printer toner cartridges;
6. Recharged typewriter and non-laser type printer ribbons;
7. Reusable products or products in reusable packaging
where the reusable products or packaging are alternatives
to disposable products or packaging;
8. Lead acid batteries or rechargeable, reusable batteries;
9. Other recycled products as designated by the Purchasing
Agent.
10. Whenever possible recycled paper shall be requested for outside
printing jobs. -
B. Standards for recycled content in recycled products
1. Minimum recycled content standards established for designated
recycled products should require no less than 20% post consumer waste
material content. Total recycled material content should be a minimum
of 50%.
2. The purchasing agent should purchase products with a post consumer ~
content above 20% when such a product is available within the cost
preference range as described in section III.
3. For paper goods the minimum recycled content of any given material
should be greater than or equal to 50% by weight. Whenever possible
products should be selected that are manufactured with a minimum of
toxic materials, such as bleached vs. unbleached paper napkins, painted
vs. unpainted pencils, paper cups as opposed to polystyrene.
4. In the case of printing and writing paper, the purchasing agent should
3
set a minimum total recycled content standard with not less than 50%
of the paper's total weight consisting of preconsumer waste materials
or post consumer waste materials and with not less than 20% of its
total weight consisting of post consumer waste material. Paper
purchased should be white or of light pastel colors whenever possible to
make recycling easier (avoid neons, very bright "christmas" red/green,
goldenrod-etc.).
5. All Town of Vail letterhead, business envelopes, and business cards
will be of recycled material and display the Town of Vail recycled
material logo.
IV. Waste Toxicity Reduction
1. Whenever possible cleaning and de-greasing solvents should have a minimum of
highly toxic ingredients. This not onl.y decreases the toxicity of any waste materials
generated, but also lessens the likelihood of problems related to contact with skin or
eyes.
2. Rechargeable batteries should be used in place of disposable types.
V. Recycling
1. Each department shall provide conspicuous containers for the recycling of glass,
office paper, and aluminum and any other recyclable material they deem fit.
2. Each department shall identify a recycling officer to coordinate the collection of
recyclable materials in the department.
~ 3. To promote recycling in the community there will be several trash/recycling
containers placed in several locations in town. Possible locations for these containers
could be near Crossroads, and/or on Bridge Street, and near the Lionshead ticket
windows. These cantainers will have 3 internal compartments, one for trash, one for
newsprint, and one for glass, aluminum and plastic. The container itself should be
, aesthetically pleasing, and be constructed from a recycled product of some kind.
VI. Landfilling
1. As with any waste stream there is a portion of waste that will be landfilled. By
following this Policy the Town will be reducing its dependance on this final disposal
option.
VII. Monitoring
1. Baseline information regarding amounts of material purchased shafl be developed by
the environmental health office. Included in this information will be current
expenditures in reference to materials purchased, and waste disposal fees to tiie
~ 4 -
f
contracted waste transporter.
2. The Environmental Health Officer will be able to advise any purchasing agent in the
search for goods and supplies that meet the above criteria. In the event there are no
products or services available, the Environmental Health Officer will continue to seek
out new goods or services to meet the needs of the purchasing agent.
3. An annual report which will review the success of the policy and suggested areas
for improvement shall be presented to the P.E.C., Town Council, and the Town
Manager.This report will indicate amount of materials purchased, costs associated with ,
these purchases, noted changes in the waste stream generated by the municipal .
- building, and any changes in the contract costs with the contracted waste transporter.

Town Councii Meeting Minutes, May 17, 9994
Orehouse Awninq
Merv Lapin made a motion:
1. To approve the awning as it is;
2. That the applicants have met the January 18, 1995 deadline and that this
deadline needs to be removed;
3. The conditions that we want on this. Tom, will you give me the verbiage for the
motion.
Tom Moorhead stated that as a term of the continued lease with the Town of Vail that there
will be a provision added to the lease stating that they will not further enclose the deck area,
and if they do, the lease will terminate by its terms. He added that they will need the Town's
approval prior to any assignment of the lease in the future.
Jim Shearer seconded this motion.
Jan Strauch wanted to ensure that the applicants go ahead with what they say they will do,
and that they are not approving the awning as is and the applicants will install flowers and
lighting to give the deck a more lively feel.
Kristan Pritz stated that any outdoor lighting would need to go back before the Design Review
Board to ensure compliance with the Lighting Ordinance. She added that it was okay for the
Town Council to require the flowers and lighting.
Jan Strauch requested that Merv modify his motion to reflect the addition of flowers and
lighting to the Orehouse's deck.
Merv modified his motion accordingly.
A vote of 3-1 approved this item with Paul Johnston opposing. It should be noted that Peggy
Osterfoss was not in the room at the time of the vote for this item.

CALL TO ORDER: The meeting was called to order at 3:10 P.M.
PUBLIC INPUT: None
APPROVAL OF
MIATUTES: Molloy made a motion to approve the minutes from
the July 28, 1999 meeting. Wilson seconded.
Passed unanimously.
VAIL AVALANCHE
CONTRACT: Staufer asked Robinson if there were any changes
in the contract from what had been discussed.
Robinson said that the board directed changes are
now incorporated except he was leaving open the
absolute payment of security. In some games it
will not be necessary to go to the expense of
. hiring two additional pclicemen. Heber s*ated
that the penalty clause will be applied to the
Vail Avalanche team as well as visiting teams.
Davis recommended that a"no additional relatior.-
ship" clause be incorporated into the contract.
Heber said that he would do that.
Wilson made a motion directing Robinson to
sign the lease between VRD and Borne of the Vail
Avalanche Team with the above mentioned
amendments. Davis seconded. All approved.
PAR 3
PRO FORMA
REVIEW: Robinson distributed updated financial estimates
on costs for this project. It was noted that
these numbers are a combination of estimated
percentages over the 1992 contract bid and current
estimates. One of the increased expenses since
1992 is for water. Based on conversations with the
Water Cistrict, we now need a diversion from Booth
Creek, this includes building a pump station and
construction for channelina the water. Robinson

A' asked the Board if they are comfortable with the
numbers for this.
Robinson asked the Board for a dollar amount to be
placed on the ballot and Proclamation. Jones said
that there is an opportunity for short term
financing of a 2 to 3-year note if the number
on the ballot is not sufficient. Molloy made a
motion to place a bond amount not to exceed $1.3
million on the ballot, Davis seconded, passed
unanimously. Robinson will present the new numbers
at the next Board meeting as a F.Y.I item:
Robinson asked the Board to assign a designated
election official. Wilson made a motion to
assign Ann Scully Blasier, Staufer seconded.
Staufer cnade a motion to designate Ross Davis as
the VRD Board member who will execute the
Intergovernmental Agreement. Wilson seconded.
~EMPL,OYEE
~ WELLNESS ~ Staff is recommending a slight change in the current
BENEFIT:J~ ski benefit program. Of the full-time associates
offered a ski-pass benefi half take the cash
benefit instead. Robinson and Jones have been
working to keep this bene`it a wellness benefit.
Last year the option oF an Arrowhead Family Pass
plus $200 in cash was offe:ed. Seasonal employees
who work for other compar_=es get a full ski pass .
yet our full-time sta'Lf wa=ts 3 years for the full
pass. This puts us at a d:sadvantage in negotiating
salaries. The Board discussed trade out with VA for
rent on the Nordic Center. There was interest
in renegotiating rent on the Nordic Center. Wilson
suggested exploring a group rate at the Vail
Athletic Club or Cascade Club. Robinson and Jones
had suggested a $500 well-:ess benefit to reimburse
employees for exercise maczinery or health club
expenses. Staufer directe3 VRD to check into club
opportunities even if it is only for 2 to 3 people,
keeping in mind the cost would not exceed $500 per
person per year. Molloy a-zked that we get TOV's
Wellness Benefit plan for =he board to review.
#7 Tee
REMODEL: Robinson said that he and Davis had been getting
feedback from the residents whose property is
adjacent to #7 tee. It se2ms they will be pretty
aggressive in opposing an_, tree removal. We
would have to go to PEC i= we plan to take down
a tree and can probably expect a long delay there
~
. ~
now with vocal neighborhocd opposition. Molloy
asked that Ernie Bender ar.d Tim Boyle come up with
a plan to reconstruct the tee box without taking
down a tree. Tom Steinberg was present
representing residents. They are concerned
that cutting down trees will increase traffic noise
from 170. Bender said that if we cannot double
the size of the tee, we may have to bring sod in
and replace it often. Robinson suggested that we
ask Tim Boyle what we can get east and north
without pulling out a tree and compare that to a
grid system like that of the Pontiac dome. These
options will be brought to the board for review.
ADJOURNMEAIT: Wilson made a motion to adjourn. Molloy seconded.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m.

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Members of Council:
This letter is written to inform ,you of certain concerns members of the Local Licensing
Authority ("LLA") have with co-member, Linda Fried.
In an effort to correct what authority members saw as a continuing problem, the LLA
scheduled an executive session at a special meeting which was held on August 30. At
that time Linda was made aware that board members were concerned and
uncomfortable with her conduct and with the way members of the community had been
treated by her during public meetings. Conflict of interest issues were discussed and
explained by Tom 1Vloorhead. Linda was requested to consider her position with the
board and to conduct herself in a more appropriate and professional manner, and to act
within the purview of the LLA and in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado
by which the Authority is bound.
We are now aware Linda has taken this issue to the Town Council and was present at
a worksession yesterday, September 13, where she presented councilmembers with a
letter. We are requesting Council provide us with a copy of that letter.
Unlike the other boards within the Town of Vail, the Local Licensing Authority acts
independently and has settled its issues within the Authority. However, because her
appointment was made directly by the Town Council, we are now petitioning you to
resolve this matter.
We feel strongly that members of our business community have been unnecessarily
harassed, interrogated, and treated rudely by Linda while going through the application
process. This kind of behavior must somehow be stopped. The LLA exists to locally
administer the Colorado Liquor Code. Therefore, we are public servants and our
applicants must be treated fairly and with courtesy.
Vail Town Council

Once we have had an opportunity to review Linda's letter to Council, we would like to
discuss this matter further.
Please feel free to contact any or all of us should you have questions or comments.
Thank you for your consideration. -

dascussion of the
1= 70/Vail Roa oundabout Feasibility Study
~urpose - This document was prepared after the Monday, September 12, 1994 Ptanning En-
vironmental Commission. During this rreeting, Commissioner Williams pre-
sented a review of the previous Steering Commirtee meeting and the I-70.Nai1
Road Feasibility Study. The commissior. was asked their comrnents for prepara-
tion of this report.
OveQ'vQew
Commissioner Williams presented a brief overview of the process to date fol-
lowed by a discussion of several possible problem areas found in the I-?ONail
Road Roundabout Feasibility Study.
The genera] areas of concem to the com.mission members were:
l. Tourist entering town for the first time.
2. VJhat happens whea someone gets lost.
3. "Can a 70 year o}d man in a Winabego tovking a car with his wife giving
- instructions get through it?"
4. Can a mundabout gridlock?
5. Is the current design tlie proper design?
6. What happens when all of the signs and road markings are covered with
snow'? Wi11 we need six police men directing traffic?
7. How witi the snow plows keep'the center open without blocking the
entrances and exits to the roundabout?
A straw pole was taken of the members present. Two (2) cocnmissioners thought
the Roundabout would work, one (1) was undecided, and the (2) did not think it
would work. Two members were absent the meeting. .
A d.iscussion followed concerning particular points in the study. T'he remainder
of this document will discuss these points. It should be noted that the entire com-
missian present has serious concerns about each of these points and feels that
each point must be fully and carefully considered by the SteerinD Committee and
the Town Counci( before autliorizing the work to proceed.

On page 10 of the Feasibility Study, the following paragraph appears:
"According to the roundabout analysis program Rodel, the jollowing percent in-
creases in existing (March oJ1990) traffic Will be posseble With out crrceedinK av-
erage stopped delay of 30 seconds per vehicle on any leg (a mea.rure of praciica!
capacity), esrimatect at the RSth percentile."
The planning commission has serious concerns about using a 1990 base when it is
the unanimous opinion of ihe commission that the amount of fraffic which passes
through the intersection has increa.sed substantially.
The commission is further concerned when on Page 9 of the Feasibility Study
states; "You have large infrequent peak- trafJ'ic demands in Vail, when it take.r
niore than an hotrr to enter the freewuy. " And especially on page 9 where the Fea-
sibility Study states; "Al.so, tru~'ic surges of an unknown ammrnt, perhaps fiJry
percent or more, presently occur ut various times each year." [Emphasis added
by author.]
The commission is very concemed with the statement that ihe traffic counts at our
peak times are unknown and therefor can not be taken into account.
Since the cuirent four-way stop functions adequately 90% of the time, the com-
mission thinks this study should be lookinb a data that represents the 10°,io of the
time when our traffic probiems are acute, not at average data. -
The commission's concern is that the Town of Vail will spend $1.5 Million and
not solve the problem. Roundaboaut Desgguu
The planning commission is not comfortable that the desi~,mers of the roundabout
are sufficiently aware of our town feeling toward estherics, the pedestrian nature
of our tow-n, and the unique traffic problems presented by our physicai layout and
guest related services.
Two eoncerns of the commissioners are:
1. The first drawing in Append:x A shows a fully cutoff turning lane far
motonst arriving from down valley going to Lionshead. The second
drawing in Appendix f1 does not show this feature. The commission is
confused by this apparent inconsistency.
2. The first drawing in Appendix A clearly details four (4) entrance lanes
into what appears to be a two and one half (2.5) lane roundabout.
Commissioner Williams discussed Greg Hall's statements to the Steering
Committee that the way to increase traffic flow was by varying the
deflection angle and numUer of entrance lanes and that the right most
lane was to be striped to be an entrance lane to the I-70 acceleration lane.
The commission recommends the inclusion of the fully cutoff lane into Lionshead
from eastbound I-70 in the final project.
a
c
The commission questions the usefulness of the right most entrance lane into the
roundabout from Vail Village which is proposed to be stnped as an entrance to
the eastbound I-70 acceleration lane. (See the subsection "Traffic Stnping.") This
is one of the areas which the commission feels reflects a lack of understanding of
Vail's peak traffic flows.
• The commission sees no reason to take east I-70 bound traffic from Vail Village
and force it through the roundabout when a fully cutoff lane could be provided
esst of the roundabout. "The best way to speed traffic flow through the intersec-
tion is not to take it thmugh the intersection." said Mr. Greg Amsden. "Traffic
from Vail Village would then merge wiih traffic from Lionshead on a widened
I-70 acceleration lane allowing for a faster flow of traffiCfrom our two parking
structures in the aftemoons with no conflict in the proposed roundabout."
Commissioner Williams reported that there was considerable opposition the com-
missions recommendation for fuliy cutoff traffic routes from the Town of Vail En-
gineering Depariment. The commissioners remain 100% convinced of the neces-
sity of these.
TIt'~ffuc Stli'Ilp9ng
The commission is concerned by the statement on Page i of the Feasibitity Study
whieh states; "Following modern guidelines, erosswalk would not be niarked."
This is another place where the commission feels that the designers of the round-
about do not understand the nature of Vail. The commission would highly sug-
gest that all crosswalks be clearly marked and that ample e;onsideration and atten-
tion to our pedestrian guest be taken into consideration.
Page 7 of the Feasibiiity Study states; "It is essential to keep pavement markings
ut roundahouts und on their approaches and eYit,r bright und clear right through
tlie winter and all year long." The commission agrees and is concemed that the
Town of Vail is not responsible for this intersection. In the past. this intersection
and the one in West Vail are known to become snow packed for extended periods
of time. Is CDOT prepared to maintain this intersection to the required standards
or to allow the Town of Vail to take over the plowing of this intersection?
Lgghting and Signage
Commissioner Williams reported the Steering Committee discussion concerning
the number size of the lights and signs that may be required given the standard
CDOT requirements.
Starting on Page 6 of the Feasibility Study there is a discussion of proper signing
and lighting. There is a statement which reads; "Horizontal illirminance will be at
least 0.9 foot candle, a sometivhat brigltt standard compared to the illunrinance of
conventional intersections. Roughly thirry (30) streetlights will fie provided to
light the x=hnle interchange."
The commission members are concerned that unless handled extremely delicateiy,
the number of lighting fixtures and amount of light could be a serious problem.
The Feasibility Study goes on to suggest; "The Irghts on Christmus trees at the
. four-way STOP sign regiilated intersection at Main vail will fie tlinimed or raised
or eliminated so that they do not cuuse the motorist to look into a wull of light at
s
~
eve level." [Emphasis added by author.] The commission feels that this is another
place which shows a iack of understanding of what Vail is know for. Vail is a
"VVinter Wonderland" of lighted trees which, to the commissions knowledge,
have never been sighted as a cause for an accident at the four-way stop.
On Page 7 of the Feasibility Study, it is proposed that; "Signing and lighling de-
signs will be brought to the Town of Vail before implementation to be sure Ihat
signs and lighl will he both efjec.tive and aesthetically pleasing. Aqjuslments in Ihe
designs will be made to meet vail's requirements."
7fie three members of the Planning and Environmental Commission who were in
attendance at the joint DRB/PEC meeting which reviewed_the. preliminary land-
scaping plans for the roundabout, brought to the commission's attention that none
of the proposed landscape plans took in to consideration lighfing and signage.
The commission recommends that the lighfing and signage plans be fuliy incorpo-
rated into the landscaping plan before a plan is chosen by the Town Council. The
commissian is concemed that unless lighfing and signage is incoiporated now, the
result will not have the esthetics that the citizens of Vai] will expect.
T'he commission is concerned that the lighfing and signage may completely de-
stroy a]andscape plan that does not include a fully fleshed out signage and light-
ing plan before selection and approval by the Town Council.
CopllcollHs9oQll
' The Vail Pianning and Environmental Commission is concerned about the before
mentioned problems and suggest that effort be given to the resolution of these
issues before committing to the project. The commission is further concemed that
this is "a done deal" and that the Town of Vail Engineering Department may not
be adequately addressing the concerns expressed by the commission.

--iViain Vail Roundabout
The Council reviewed five preliminary landscape design concepts for the Main Vail
roundabout project. The design themes ranged from formal to informal to natural to
"bare bones." The designs utilized suggestionsf from a series of community focus
groups, including water features, international flags, stone walls, flowers, native
grasses and trees. It was estimated the cost of the five landscape approaches ranged
from $200,000 to. $600,000. The Council has asked to review specific components of
the project in more detail before selecting a final landscape design approach at a
meeting on Oct. 11. Those issues include a proposal to remove the concrete
embankment beneath the interstate, fountain maintenance and relocation of the
Spraddle Creek entrance, among others.
The Niain Vail Roundabout project also was the subject of a public meeting last night in
the Town Council Chambers. About 40 citizens heard a presentation from the project
team members, including engineer Leif Ourston. The most frequently asked question
at the meeting was, 'Will it work?' Ourston, of Santa Barbara, Calif., wiil be in Vail
through Thursday. If you'd like to arrange an interview with him, please contact
Suzanne Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
VAIL, COLORADO
So, here we are at the brink of legislative history! Our astute Town Council is going
to pass anti-gun legislation. Legislation that they obviously feel they need to pass
based upon a 30-year crime spree within the Town limits.
It seems to me that these people were elected to do the job of running
government rather than being in charge of philosophical guidance. Just a
smattering of "in-plant" problems that exist in East Vail are overhead wires, badly
paved streets, weed control and lack of lighting just to mention a few. I don't
doubt that other areas such as West Vail also have Q list of issues to be addressed.
If the Town Council has this strong desire to deal with national problems then why
don't they starf, for example, with health care. At least by doing this, our local
community could really benefit by their actions.
So, ladies and gentlemen of town government, let's get back to the nuts and bolts
of running government and starf addressing problems that really exist.
Thank you,
Arfhur Kittay
