The Vail Environmental Strategic Plan is intended to: a) Provide a long-term work plan (i.e. A TO-DO List) for environmental programs in the Town of Vail. b) Improve cooperation and collaboration between stakeholders in the community to work on environmental programs. c) Help keep Vail proactive by reducing pollution at the source and protecting sensitive natural resources. d) Help identify Vail as an "Environmental Leader". The Town Council and the public have reviewed and commented on the first draft and these comments have been incorporated into the plan. On September 12, 1994, the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed and unanimously recommended that the Town Council adopt the Environmental Strategic Plan. The Town has been taking steps to begin implementation of certain aspects of the plan. For instance the Town of Vail is in the process of implementing a solid waste management policy that will reduce waste generated by Town offices. . This program has also resulted in a partnership with the Vail Board of Realtors to install recycling containers in Vail Village and Lionshead. The Town is also actively implementing the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan which will protect environmentally sensitive areas in the Town of Vail. There is also an informal partnership forming between the Town, Vail Associates, the Vail Valley Foundation, the Forest Service, and private property owners to begin an environmental educational program in Vail. Continued community participation will be critical in the implementation of this plan. tl ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGIC PLAN A . .R . . `:.'.'::'::•::'~::._.:_.::,yf,.::..:::!' . : : : . . ~ : ~ .;t~ . .r: ! ~ ....~i32%': ..:.,i7'` .+~i+ . . . ~ t:.:~..,.. . . a;: F ~ . , . . r4: . ~ y.:, . : . o:,,: :~.~5~ . . . . ...,FSt... v . . ~.r.. .r... :~~u;,~~':~.~it¢' . . ....p E:,...:..:::'3: k:<:^x:;. . . oR... . . . . ~{:r. .Y.. ~ ~ . . . . ±..v i,..~:.n.:°;:a .

This plan is the culmination of a two day confer- ence, significant public inptit, and an analysis of environmental trends that may affect Vail in the future. This plan begins by eliscussing the state of environmental quality in Vail and then analyzes trends that the community needs to be aware of in developing an environmental worl: plan. Then four go.il areas for environmental protection are iclentified whic{t support the vision statement. Finally specific actions are identified to nnplement the goals oE'the plan.

McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: September 23, 1994 SUBJECT: Dismount Zone Discussion In light of the increasing number of bicyclists, rollerbladers and skateboarders throughout the Vail Village and Lionshead areas there has been discussion about implementing regulations to limit access by these users. This discussion has been focused primarily on a"dismount zone." A dismount zone is a geographically defined area where restrictions on these activities would be placed. For your information I have enclosed a memorandum from the Police Department which outlines some of the issues which should be considered in dealing with this area. In terms of developing public policy, the first step is to define the problem, and to develop consensus that there is in fact a problem. This wrork session is essentially an exercise to determine if there is in fact a problem. If after taking public comment on this matter you wish to proceed, we will prepare a series of alternatives for your consideration and review. This meeting has been thoroughly advertised and should be well attended by merchants as well as bicycle and rollerblading enthusiasts. Ken Hughey will be present to answer any questions you may have. RVVM/aw PMORANDiJM To: Ken Hughey From: Jeff Layman Corey Schmidt Tom Sheely Date: 09/22/94 Re: Dismount zones Any discussion of the idea of a dismount zone should center around the most common concern of public safety. We are experiencing an increase in different types of wheeled devices, each unique in the speed it can travel, its maneuverability, and its ability to stop. The combination of all these devices together with the heavy concentration of pedestrians creates a blend which is pot2ntially dangerous. Although there are other perspectives from which to view this problem, such as political and economic, our focus will be on safety. , Bicvcles ' The bicycle issue is especially difficult because we face conflicting,views. We encourage more bicycle use to reduce motor vehicle traffic, while at the same time we discourage their use in certain selective locations. We also tout Vail as a great place to bicycle while on vacation. In support of dismount zones, we have identified the following: 1. Increased pedestrian safety. 2. The problem will only become worse. 3. We are experiencing an increased number of complaints. 4. We are experiencing an increased number of accidents. 5. The dismount zone concept is working in other places such as Aspen, Boulder, Ft. Collins, and on the Denver Mall. Arguments against the dismount zone are as follows: 1. Education and notification of bicyclists will be difficult. 2. Education will cause an increase in the number of signs in the areas where we are trying to reduce signs. 3. Enforcement efforts in towns which currently have dismount zones have been unpopular and have had little impact. Enforcement will be difficult. 4. Overall public relations have been negative for the towns in general. , Recommendation: Implementation of dismount zones in selected areas. Roller blades, skateboards, roller skates Roller blades, skate boards, and roller skates are specifically prohibited by state law and local ordinance from any street or roadway. Banning the use of such devices on town streets would bring us into compliance with such laws. It would also reduce our liability in injury cases resulting from accidents. We feel that unless the council specifically passes legislation allowing for roller blades, skate.boards, and roller skates on public roads, we must recommend against the continued casual nature of our enforcement. A negative impact upon some rental shops may be experienced if the council accepts this recommendation. Recommendation: The use of such devices should be banned on public streets and roadways. Motor vehicles In recent years, the motor vehicle problem in the village core and Lionshead has been improved due to better signs and traffic management. Cooperation between merchants, delivery firms, and town government has worked to better control loading and delivery within the present infrastructure. Recommendation: Leave program as is. Horse drawn carriages The current regulations for carriages serve to control and regulate their impact. Carriage traffic is restricted to four carriages in the village at a time and other regulations cover the hours of service and the streets they are allowed to use. Carriages also have their own unique set of pros and cons. The ambiance of a horse drawn carriage in the village is pleasing, however, the mess and odor from droppings and urine can be unpleasant. Recommendation: Continuation of this service. laickshaws The addition of rickshaws to the mix of town street uses will only add to the congestion. Our recommendation is to urge the council not to allow rickshaws until all other devices can be adequately evaluated and controlled. Recommendation: Disallow.

Reeves, Environmental Health Officer Date: September 27, 1994 RE: COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT IIV VAIL In August, council requested staff to outline the procedures for dealing with commercial and residential solid waste management issues in town. There is a wide variety of problems stemming from solid waste issues in town. Some of these issues have been around for a long time. Th;ere are several commercial establishments have had recurring problems. Several of these establishments that have made sincere attempts to resolve these issues. The problem on the residential end is much more wide spread, and somewhat more complex. Solid waste is an issue that is in the public eye lately. Problems vary from bears to inadequate capacity, to spills. The following is a brief explanation of how issues are typically handled. 1. A complaint in reference to a.trash spill: Staff would investigate to determine if the complaint is valid. If so, attempts would be made to personally contact the responsible parties. If no contact is rnade, or there is no cooperation a letter such as #2 would be sent out. This letter is a first notice as outlined in the Municipal Code (MC). If there is still no cooperation a letter such as #3 would be mailed. To date there has been no need to progress past letter #3. 2. A complaint in reference to inadequate trash capacity: Staff would confirm validity and then would attempt to contact responsible party. If no contact is made, or there . is no cooperation a Ietter such as # 1 would be sent. The two possible solutions to this issue are increasing capacity at the site, or increase frequency of trash pickup. These two options would be outlined to the responsible party as two options. If there is no cooperation, as above, letter #3 would be sent. There has not been a need to send letter #3 in this situation. 3. A complaint that grease from a restaurant has spilled: Staff would confirm validity. Staff would contact grease container owner immediately. The owner would be , required to stop any current spillage, and steam clean any residual spill. If there is question as to how the spill occurred, staff would assist in getting the answer. If the . r: responsible party is not the owner, staff would notify the responsible party of their responsibility in such a situation by sending a letter such as #4. As a last resort letter #3 would be sent. Again there has been no need to send this letter in such a situation. 4. A complarnt in reference to trash blowing from collection vehic%s or individual trash containers: Letter #/4 has been used in this situation, there was no need to follow up any further, this issue was resolved by the responsible party. If the complaint is in reference to the screening of trash containers the issue would be forwarded to Planners Staff. This is typically an issue for DRB. It should be noted that lack of container screening is very common in residential areas. These issues are not always straight forward, there is often circumstances that need to be considered by staff when looking for resolution. While these issues may not be easy, staff is committed to getting these issues resolved. To date, these issues have been addresses on a case by case basis as complaints are received. The Town is also taking proactive measures to address the solid waste problem. These efforts include: a) An incentive program to use bear proof garbage containers. b) Restaurants and bars are actively encouraged to recycle. c) Greater emphasis is given to ensure adequate space is allotted for solid waste disposal and recycling during the development review process. d) The Town of Vail has implemented a solid waste policy to reduce waste which will provide an example for other businesses/organizations in town. e) Creating a comprehensive solid waste policy is an action item in the draft Vail Environmental Strategic Plan. As stated, waste management has a very broad scope ranging from bearproofing trash cans, to proper management of waste, to recycling. As we found out in the community survey, these are issue for a large portion of the community. Responsible waste management is everyones responsibility. By adopting the waste management policy for the municipal government we can set into motion further waste management policies that could positively affect the whole town. PRINTED ON RfCYCLED PAPER Date Location Contact Person Address Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mr./Ms.: This letter is in reference to the storage or management of garbage and refuse on your owned or rented property. The purpose of this letter is to explain the fact that the non- contained accumulation of refuse on any property in the Town of Vail is prohibited in the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail Colorado, Section 8.16 Garbage and Refuse, subsections .050 through .070 which states: "It is unlawful...to fail to provide or make available at all times one or more appropriate refuse containers, . at the premise.s owned, managed, operatefl or occupied by him." Section 8.16.010, subsection F. defines "Refuse Container" as: a metal or nonabsorbent and fire resistant container, which shall be equiped with a tight fitting metal or nonabsorbent fire resistant cover or lid".

' I i ~ I 11NTROD1`lJ CJ:L HON f The ambiance of Vail is often cited as one of the Town's most valuabl e assets. Distinctive architecture, dramatic views and an extensive pedestrian environment give Vail a charm that ia unique among resort communities. Thia Master Plan will focus on one aspect of Vail's physical environment the streetscape the public spaces among the buildings. The design of streets, plazas, site furnishings, lighting, and lanciscaping is as important as the design of individual buildings. The Vail Streetscape Master Plan will give the pedestrian environment the same comprehensive design and quality of materiala that the Town's architectural standards have achieved. It will provide the Town with the tools to ensure the streetscape ia consistent with Vail's quality design and architecture. The Streetscape Master Plan will be used together with the Vail Village and Lionshead Urban Design Guide Plans, The Vail Village Master Plan, The Recreational Trails Plan, The Signage Improvement Program, and other adopted long-range planning documents. The guidance provided by these Plana will enhance the Town's position ns one of the world's premier resorta. Purpose of the Streetseape Plan The Streetscape Mnster Plan is an outgrowth of the Vail Village Urban Design Guide I'lan (UDGP). The UDGP was created in 1982 ~ to give guidance to the overall phyaical development of Vail Village. In addition to providing broad design guidelines, the UDGP suggested epecific physical improvementa for the Village. Theae suggested improvements included: the u ' pgrading of aeveral plazas, , new landscape areas, building additions, facade improvements, etc. The development community, by working with Town Boards and Town etaff, has included most of the designAted improvements in development (or redevelopment) projects throughout the Town. ~ As a result, over the last 9 years more ehan 90% of the designated pu6lic/priuate improvements for Vail Villczge have been accomplished. ~ The Town has completed many of the recommended public projects and, fiarthermore, when priaate improvements have been m.ade, ' the private property ownera have often improved the public right-of-way a(tacent to their property. Z'hese private improvements have ~ included replacing deteriorating asphalt or concrete paving with decorative paving, creating new planters, in$talling light fiztures, etc. The results have generally been positive. The Streetscape Plan has been written in part to provide clear design direction for theae ~ types of improvements. The community has been actively involved in refining thia plan to a point where there is general consensus ' on its scope and design themes, Tlae paaapose of the plaan ns to prownd~ ~~ompregaeansaee anna3l coordaaaated coanceptanmfl siesegan i ffor strec$scmmpe nanpm~~emeant thmto Il) ns suppoa-fed by the coaaaaaaaaaaatyp 2) eaaraches the aeetflaetac aappearance og the Tmwmy i aaad 3) earaphasazes the nmgortaance of cragtsmaaashep aaad ca-eatnee desflgan nan order to ca eaf,e man excelflen$ gedes4;a aamm experneaaceo i I I ~ i Towa of Vail Streetecape IVYaetcr Plan page 1 j' I; - p The Streetscape IVtaster Plan also takes into account improvements to the Town's infrastructure, Water and sewer lines, drainage and transportation i.mpacts need to be considered as well as aeathetic improvementa when frying to innprove public spaces. As an egample, , street surfaces can be replaced with materials and deaign themes that are conaiatent with the 1Vlaster Plan when the existing atreet paving is removed to upgrade buried utility lines. The Streetscape Master Plan will also address several other objectives which have been identified by the Town: 1) To provide a concevtual design for streetscape improvements that can be used for: - hased implementation of the plan sponsored by the Town - the proposed improvements are in no way intended to all be constructed at the same time because of costs and the desire to adapt to changing circumstances in the community; - privately sponsored improvements on public land associated with an acljacent building redevelopment; - - establishment of a special development district; - joint publiclprivate sponsored projects. 2) To establish a high level of quality and an overall character that is sensitive to the community's alpine setting for: - sidewalks - Wall$ - benches - newapapers dispensers - lighting - utility pedeatals and covera - aignage - bua atopa - landscaping - curbs ~ - street paving - drainage.improvements ~ - special events or performance spots ~ i. The intent is to encourage craftsmanship and ornamentation that will create diveraitv and uniqueneas while respecting the overall design fabric or character of the community. 3) To design improvements with a sensitivity to t,he contribution egcellent landscape architecture can make to creating beautifial i pedestrian apaces. ~ i 4) To design public spacea in u manner that encouragea people to interact with each other and/or our mountain environment, ~ whether it be for a apecial event, performance aite, seating area, or a pedestrian path along Gore Creek. 5) To create interesting pedestrian ways (not a suburban grid) with undulating sidewalks that add intereat and create opportunities ~ for landscaping. Achieving thiq,goal may require acquiring additional right-of-way or easements in some areas. ~ i? Town of Vail Streetacapc Maeter Plan Page 2 li ~ ~ ~ a 6) To accent key intersections and focal pointa with paving or other featurea euch as public art, aeating, landscaping or fountains ~ to create more people placea. There was strong aupport voiced during the public review process for more art and fountains in Vail Village. ~ 7) To resolve conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles where they share the public right-of-way, (including creating safe pedestrian areas, increasing the efficiency o£the bus system and providing access for emergency vehicles.) ~ 8) To encourage the use of durable, high quality materials that reduce long-term maintenance costs and to develop low maintenance designs arid to encourage the highest quulity maintenance standards possible. Good quality maintenance and materials are ~ essential to streetscape improvements being effective and useful year-round. 9) To propose a conceptual lighting plan that in subtle ways highligkrts buildings and landscaping to create an inviting evening ~ pedestrian experience. ~ The Process a ~ The citizens of Vuil have been egtensively involved in the development of the Streebscape Master Plan. Many public meetings were ~ held, during which residents, property ownera and merchanta gave valuable direction to the Plan. These included: • Individual sub-area meetinga with merchants, property owners ztnd intereated citizena at two points during the Master Plan ~ process. The Vallage Core, Vail Valley Drive, West Meadow DrivelEast Lionahead Circle and East Meadow Drive were- all addressed a$ dietinct areas at these meetings. ~ • Town-wide public meetinga, one of which wae a joint DItB/PEC/Town Council meeting • R.eviewa by the Design Review Board, the Planning and Environmental Commiasion, the Transportation Committee and the Art ~ in Public Placea Committee In the end, the effectivenesa of thia Master Plan has been greatly enhanced by this input. The 1Vtaster Plan process also reliecl on the ~ direct involvement of the Town of Vail staff. Input was also provided by other consultanta who were worldng for the Town on related projects and each of the major local utility companiea. ~ ~ ~ Town of Vail Streetecagc Maater I'Inn Page 3 ' Desagan Proeess for $he Maef,er Pflaan ~ i r • The first step of the Master Plan process was a detailed inventory of the exiating streetscapes within the study area. The purpose of ~ this inventory was to identify the unique, and conaistent aspects of the Streetscape environment. This inventory examined elements such as paving materials, site furnishings as well us general character. Another task in this phase was identifying circulation patterns of pedestrians and vehicles (cars, buses, delivery vehicles, emergency vehicles). ' With the completion of the Invent;ory/Analysis phase, several prelim.inary design solutions were developed to address the problems identified. Conceptual designs for each study area were developed. These concepts were reviewed by the public and Town staff and refined several times before being formulated into specific Streetscape alternatives. After further review by the staff and public, preferred design alternatives were selected. Site specific details for key areas were also developed, along with guidelines for material ' selection and cost estimates. ~ The Study Area ; , ~ ~ The Streetscape Improvement Master Plan study area extends from the east end of the Lionshead Mall to Ford Park (Figure 1). It I is hoped that the Lionshead urea will be uddressed in a similar design process, currently scheduled for 1992 or 1993.

These loans will have 30-year maturities. 5) Deed restrictions will be placed on the property which will limit ownership of these units to "resident employees" who use them as their primary residences. Gain from future sales of these units will also be limited; however, these deed restrictions will not survive foreclosure by FirstBank of Vail, but the Town of Vail will be given the right to purchase the property in the event of default and thereby preserve the deed restrictions. 6) This program would include funding of condominiums and townhomes as well as single-family or duplex homes. 7) An appraisal will be required as will automatic payments from a FirstBank of Vail account, and escrow of taxes and insurance. 8) Maximum loan amont will be $200,000 and there will be no minimum loan amount. 9) Maximum "back ratio" will be 45% if LTC/LTV = 90% and 40% if LTC/LTV = 95% ' Robert McLaurin The Town of Vail August 26, 1994 Page 2 10) These loans are for purchase money only. 11) We will require the written opinion of outside counsel stating that the Town of Vail's pledge of the cash collateral is legal and enforceable. 12) FirstBank of Vail may be willing to release the town's pledge of cash collateral after 5 years if: m There has been no adverse change in the financial condition of the borrower; o all payments have been made as agreed; e the value of the property is equal to or greater than the original purchase price; and m the borrower's back ratio is no greater than 40% based on the anticipated new interest rate. I look forward to discussing the latest modifications with you and if they are agreeable, I will present this to my loan committee on Wednesday, August 31, 1994 for their final approval. Mark R.

DATE: September 19, 1994 - RE: Supreme Court Amendment 1 Decision In a major victory for Colorado local governments, the Colorado Supreme Court on September 12, 1994, upheld the validity of general obligation bond questions which were passed in 1993. Most significantly, the Court held that general obligation bonds continue to exist in Colorado and that it is not necessary to have a separate vote on the bonds and the taxes to pay the bonds. The Case Various citizens and taxpayers brought actions to invalidate several ballot issues adopted at the IVovember 2, 1993 general election by the electorate of the City of Boulder (the "City"), the County of Boulder (the "County") and the Boulder i/alley School I)istrict Re-2 (the "School District"). It was alleged that the School I.)istrict's general obligation debt question, the City's franchise question, the City's open space - sales tax and general obligation debt question, and the County's open space - sales tax question a11 violated several provisions of Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("Amendment 1"). The Court upheld the validity of the ballot questions and ruled in favor of the governmental entities on all but one issue relating to pleading requirements and one issue with respect to the City's open space - sales tax and general obligation debt question. The highlights of the Court's ruling are as follows: 0 Amendment 1 does not prohibit the consolidation of a debt increase and an increase in taxes to repay the debt in the same ballot question. Such consolidation is lawful because the topics are "so connected with or dependent upon the general subject that it might not be desirable that one be adopted without the other." The Court also ruled that the ballot title must include the required ballot title language for both the debt and the tax increases. 0 Authorization in a ballot question to levy taxes "without limitation as to rate" is valid and satisfies Amendment 1's requirement of "voter approval in advance". Thus, general obligation bonds still exist in Colorado because, with proper voter approval, the mill levy may increase, without subsequent voter approval, to accommodate changes in assessed value. However, the dollar amount of taxes which may be raised must be stated in the question. The ballot question also contained an authorization to "refund bonds without additional voter approval." The Court did r." not rule on whether the authorization to "refund bonds without additional voter approval" would permit the issuance of refunding bonds at a higher rate. Amendment 1 expressly permits issuing refunding bonds at a lower rate without an election. Still pending before the Supreme Court is the Littleton Public Schools case which, among other things, involves the question of whether a government can increase its mill levy to pay the debt service on outstanding bonds without further approval. If the Supreme Court relies on the fact the bonds previously had been approved by the voters, this should answer the question of whether the mill levy can be raised to pay debt service on refunding bonds issued after the adoption of Amendment 1. • The term "bonded debt" as used in Amendment 1 does not include revenue bonds. The Court indicated that it would rely on pre-existing law in deternuning what "bonded debt" means in Amendment 1. This means the revenue bonds, assesssment bonds, and lease purchase agreements, subject to annual appropriation, apparently will not be bonded debt. However, most of these obligations may still be a multiple fiscal year obligation which must receive voter approval (although the Court of Appeals is cuirently considering whether lease purchase ageements constitute such an obligation). Multiple year financial obligations are subject to voter approval, but only bonded debt must have the mandatory ballot title and the government must make the required disclosures pursuant to Section 3 of Amendment 1. This ruling may have the following negative consequences: • The debt service on revenue bonds, assessment bonds and lease purchase agreements may be included within fiscal year spending. • It may be necessary to increase the size of the emergency reserve if the debt service on revenue bonds, assessment bonds and lease purchase agreements is included within fiscal year spending., • Refundings of revenue bonds, assessment bonds and lease purchase agreements may be problematic since the refunding exception to the voting requirement of Ameaidment 1 is for "refinancing bonded debt at a lower rate". Pre-existing law that refundings do not require a vote because no new obligation is created may pernut refundings of obligations that are not bonded debt without a vote. • The standard of review of claims brought to enforce the election provisions of Amendment 1 is not one of "strict scrutiny". The Court held that a"substantial compliance" standard is the proper measure of review and that in analyzing such standard courts should consider (a) the extent of noncompliance (i.e., isolated examples vs. systematic disregard of Amendment 1), (b) the pwpose of the provision violated and the effect of noncompiiance, and (c) the governmental entity's good faith effort to comply or its intent to mislead the electorate. -2- 4 t 0 In Amendment 1 cases, there is no requirement to set forth #'acts showing that the claimed violations of Amendment 1 affected the election results. 0 A party alleging that an interpretation of Arnendment 1 would "reasonably restrain most the groweh of government" has the burden of establishing evidence to support such conclusion. 0 Although the County ballot title could have been drafted in a more concise manner, it accurately stated the intent of the proposed measure and was not invalid. The Court analyzed whether voters would be misled or confused, not whether the ballot title was the best possible title. 0 Anendment 1 only requires a good faith estimate of the increase in property taxes which would occur if a measure were approved. T'he City's sales tax and general obligation debt question violated Amendment 1 because it failed to provide such an estimate. Such an estimate should have been provided even though the amount of the property tax increase was dependent on a contingent event. However, the Court found no evidence of willful disregard of Amendment 1 and severed the language in the ballot question relating to increasing property taxes to repay the bonds. The remaining portions of the ballot questioa vvere upheld. 0 In analya.ing the election notices for the various questions, the Court found that they substantially complied with the requirements set forth in Anendment 1. The Court focused on whether the notices vdere insufficient or misleading and whether omissions were isolated errors. The Court did not find evidence that voters were misled. In addition, the Court did not want to force governmental entities to include in their election notices information which is unnecessarily duplicative and potentially confusing. -3- r,~^..

DedY' Mayor' Colorado Springs ' JOSEPH "TONY" FORTINO P°eblo Each year, the Transportation Commission of Colorado DONALD G. MORRISON Limon conducts the Pro.ject Priority Programming Process for GLENNVAAD project programming, selection, and establishment of Secretary PY' l O r 1tle8. This process is now beginning with the optional, individual county meetings with your respective Region Transportation Directors and Transportation Commissioners; in fact, you may have already been contacted. The purpose of the individual meetings is to work with county and municipal officials, appropriate Nletropolitan Planning Organizations (PPO) and the public to discuss project status, priorities, and revisions to the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and/or the Long Range Transportation Plan. The CDOT Ogfice og Financial Management and Budget will provide the latest financial information and projected revenues and the CDOT Division og Transportation Development will provide the latest available traffic and roadway condition information for these sessions. Regardless of whether an individual county meeting is neld, Trom September to Pqay, regional meetings will also be scheduled within the Transportation Planning Regions (TPR). The purpose of these meetings is to develop, review and update the regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), review the current STIP and consider requests for new projects at the discretion of the TPRs. It is CDOT's expectation that these meetings will allow for improved communication while we determine statewide needs and priorities. The results of the regional meetings, and any other appropriate project selection for Off-System Bridge, Safety, Transit and the NlPO process, will be a draft TIP for each TPR. The draft TIP will be available for review and comment by the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee, county, municipal and state officials and the public at public meetings in the various TPRs. ~ Priority Programming Process September 20, 1994 page 2 The NPO will take the lead in the development of the final TIP for the urbanized areas. For the areas outside the NPO urbanized boundaries, CDOT will take.the lead in the development of the final TIP in cooperation with the appropriate MPO. CDOT Region office staff and the Division of Transpor-tation Development will work with TPR representatives to determine if the draft TIP is consistent with the adopted Statewide Long Range Transportation Plan. The Office of Financial Management and Budget will work with Region staff and TPR representatives to determine if the draft TIP is financially constrained. Upon making the necessary amendments to ensure the draft TIP is consistent with the Statewide Long Range Transportation Plan and financially constrained, it will be incorporated into the draft STIP. The Statewide Meeting will then be held in May. The appropriate CDOT Region Transportation Director or Transportation Commissioner will summarize the major changes in project programming, selection, and priorities and provide an overview of major issues or concerns. Testimony from organization representatives and the public will be heard by the Transportation Commission. CDOT staff will be available to explain information relating to its funding allocation process, the condition and needs of the transportation system and various other programs. The written instructions and flow diagram of the Project Priority Programming Process are contained in the STIP that was recently distributed. Please refer to these guidelines for further information. We look forward to your participation in formulating the general policy regarding the management, construction, and maintenance of Colorado's transportation system.

Kunkel said the steering committee has recommended a long-term tax- based funding commitment rather than the current mechanism of annual voluntary contributions. The Council postponed its decision on the funding request for two weeks to allow those organizations competing for the town's marketing dollars (Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, Vail Valley Foundation, Avon Beaver Creek Resort Association, Town of Vail Special Events Commission, Bravo) to propose creation of a central organization for disbursement of the funds. Marketing requests currently exceed the town's 1995 budget cap by approximately $350,000. --Contributions for 1995 Group Funding The Council gave preliminary funding approval to the following organizations for 1995: fVorthwest Colorado Council of Governments, $8,748; Northwest Colorado Council of Governments Quality/Quantity, $8,420; Vail Associates Cloud Seeding, $12,000; Colorado West Mental Health, $12,000; Vail Symposium, 50 parking coupons and non-profit use of copier; Ski Club Vail, 3 1/2 days at Dobson Ice Arena; Learning Tree, $1,000; Eagle County Early Childhood Programs, $1,000; Eagle Valley Humane Society, $500; Food Resource Center, $700; Bravo!

I am in the middle of operating our EX]?g.ORIE program at the Hyatt and simply could not get away. Over the past month, several planning meetings have resulted in a very preliminary draft plan and budget for our sister-city relationship with St. Moriiz for 1995. The highlights of this plan indicate that the working groups would like to pursue the following ideas... I. IExchmme ]Proomms. Estiumted Cost. A. In-bound Professional Training Prograrn. $ p. B. Out Bound Professional Training Programs. $ 0. C. An Armual Exchange Visit(St. Moritz to Vail in $ 4004. Nov.95) D. A Language Program $ p, II. Pa,ab?ne Il2ela4ions ~~ogr"m,~. A. Vail-St. Moriiz Press Events (Paris & New York) $ 15000. B. Vail-St. Moritz Haus $ 48000. ~ (Hospitality at Olympics & World Championships) C. Press Familiarization Trips $ 23000. III. h1 ' ' trationn. A. Program Management (Fees and expenses) $ 20000. B. Communications Activities $ 9000. (IVewsletters, joint logo, Fall Welcoming Event etc.) ~ Following considerable discussion, the Sister-Cities Commission recommends the following... A. That a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization be created to handle the St. Moritz relationship, and any other sister-cities that may be approached on behalf of the Vail Valley. B. That the municipalities (Vail-SO°/q Avon-25% and Beaver Creek Resort Co.-25°r'o) would fund the majority of Exchange and Administraiive costs. A community membership program would be esfiablished_to provide additional, although probably minor, funding. C. That funds for the Public Relations programs come from the valley-wide marketYng fund, however it is constituted for 1995. The consensus was that these program ideas must compete with all the other good ideas that need funding for the overall marketing of the Vail Valley. Further, it was felt that the Town Council should not specifically earmark a portion of its marketing fund contribution for sister-city PR programs. The decision as to whether funding should be given to these Vail-St. Moritz PR program ideas should be made by the group given overall Vail Valley marketing resource allocation responsibiliiy. The above estimated costs reflect only our half, assuming St. Moritz would pay the other half. Given all the other 1995 marketing fund discussion ha.ppeiung just now, it would be helpful to get a sense from the Council as to whether tius general approach is appropriate, and if the funding requests, particularlv for the Town of Va.il's shate of the Exchange and Administrative Programs as outlined above, are acceptable.
