The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Vail business owners, Joe Stauffer and Jack
Curtin expressed their concerns regarding amplified sound in the village, as well as emergency
vehicle noise. Mr. Stauffer suggested Council pass an ordinance which would prohibit outside
amplified sound, and asked about an emergency substation in West Vail. Peggy stated the Council
would again review the Town's noise ordinance during a meeting to be set following the budget
sessions. Mr. Curtin stated amplified sound ordinances were not being enforced, and suggested the
Town enforce its current regulations, as well as increase police presence. Pam Brandmeyer informed
Council that review of amplified sound was scheduled for the November 22 worksession. Peggy
urged both gentlemen to be present at that time.
Second on the agenda was a Consent Agenda which eonsisted of the following items:
A. Approval of the Minutes for the meeHngs September 6 and September 20, 1994.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 21, Series of 1994, an Ordinance re: Greenbelt and
Natural Open Space
Mayor Osterfoss read the title in full. Merv moved to remove item B from the Consent Agenda and
approve the minutes for the meetings of September 6 and September 20, 1994. Tom Steinberg
seconded the motion. Sybill noted an error on the minutes of the September 20 meeting and
requested item 4 be corrected to reflect the item passed 4-2. A vote was taken and passed
unanimously, 5-0 to approve the minutes with the above-referenced change.
Ordinance 21 was then discussed at length. Jim Curnutte reviewed the changes suggested by council
at first reading, and informed council the section number on page 8 would be changed to reflect the
correct section number: Section 18.38.020. Jim further explained the ordinance would modify the
descriptions of two zone districts, Greenbelt and Natural Open Space and Public Use, and would
create a new zone district, Outdoor Recreation. Russ Forrest explained staff was interested in
accomplishing the proposed text changes by passing the ordinance, then, at a later date, staff would
review property zoning and propose zone changes to Council. jim Lamont, representing the East
Village Homeowners Association, voiced his concerns regarding the ordinance. Council concerns
included a desire to tighten development standards in the public use district, and those involving
"quasi-public" uses. Sybill made a motion to pass Ordinance 21, with a second from Tom Steinberg.
A vote was taken and passed, 4-1, Merv voting in opposition. Tom recommended reviewing changes
to the public use zoning district standards in January, and other councilmembers agreed, directing
staff to include the item on the Council goal setting agenda in January, 1995.
Item 1Vo. 3 was Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1994, first reading, an Ordinance amending Ordinance
No. 39, Series of 1981 to remove the restriction on sale, transfer or conveyance and creating an

details of the ordinance. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 5-0.

open space if the golf course proposal is unsuccessful. Mayor Osterfoss then informed the group the

on behalf of Holly McCutcheon, Town Clerk
The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Rick Sackbauer spoke on behalf of "Citizens
for Better Golf." His intent was to clarify questions the Council previously had concerning water
issues for the proposed VRD Par 3 golf course. Vail water is primarily well water taken from wells
at the Vail Golf Course, with a capacity of 2,950 gallons of water per minute. The Par 3 golf course
is projected to use 20,000 gallons of water per day. At full capacity, the amount of water needed to
irrigate the Par 3 golf course could be produced in 6.75 minutes. During peak season, the wells
produce approximately six million gallons of water a day. The entire 150 day season of water usage
estimated for the Par 3 is projected at three million gallons total. The Par 3 usage of 20,000 gallons
per day is the equivalent to 3/10ths of 1% of the daily production of the wells. The Vail Golf Course
presently uses 5 million gallons each 150 day season.
Michael Jewett, a representative of "The Committee to Appeal Ordinance No. 15, series of 1994,"
requested Council to reconsider and repeal this ordinance if/when the committee submits its
petitions. The deadline for submittal of the petition is scheduled for October 20, 1994.
Second on the agenda was the Consent Agenda consisting of the following items:
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 22, Series of 1994, an Ordinance amending
Ordinance No. 39, Series of 1981, to remove the resiriction on sale, transfer or conveyance
and creating an Employee Housing Unit for sale or rental.
B. Resolution No. 20, Series of 1994, a Resolution designating Colorado National Bank as a
depository for Town funds.
A motion was made by Paul Johnston to approve the Consent Agenda, zncluding a modification in
wording for Ordinance 22, with a second by Tom Steinberg, A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously, 5-0.
Item No. 3 was Resolution No. 22, Series of 1994, a Resolution declaring the Vail Town Council's
support for the Eagle County property tax increase to acquire and maintain open space in Eagle
County. Walter Allen, Rich Howard, and Bill Wilto spoke in support of the tax, while Joe Staufer and

1 Vail Town Council Evening Meeting MinuteE
Item No. 5 was a public meeting to review the Roundabout landscape design options and related
costs, the recommendation of the steering committee, the sign layouts, and to discuss these with the
public. Council decided on a design which will now proceed through the DRB approval process,
which was described by, Jeff Winston, of Jeff Winston and Associates. The Council selected a
landscape concept which places an emphasis on the Vail 4-way rock wall. The recommended
landscaping could be phased-in over a period of years beginning with installation of an initial theme
for $370,000.00. As an option, phase two would cost an additional $150,000.00, while phase three
would. run about $430,000.00. Following selection of the landscape design, Larry Grafel presented ,
prototypes signs for the roundabouts. The Council reviewed the series of directional signs proposed
for the roundabout. Jim Shearer thought that clarity and simplicity are the key words. Paul Johnston,
Sybill Navas, Merv Lapin and the audience agreed. They also agreed to use Lionshead and Vail
Village, instead of east and west, as directional key words. Dalton Williams, a member of the PEC
Board, mentioned using a digital sign to give directions for special event parking. The Council will
continue discussing roundabouts at the next public hearing November 22, 1994, at 2:00 PM.
Item No. 6 was a report by the Town Manager. He also informed the Council of the October 15,1994,

I have recently been infomed that you plaa to change the winter bus schedule fnr the Golf Coum
from every I12 houX to only once an hour. The purpose of this letter/fac is to inform you of my
great dissatisfaction with this plan.
I awn a oondominium in the Faliridge building and peraonaily live there in the winter rnonths.
When I pwchased this uruit, one of the primary reasons was due to the fact that it was on the bus
route, (although i must say that then I thought every 1/2 hour was re* not frequent eaough). I belicvc that my property values are what they are as a result of being on the bus route with a
convenient schedule.
My experience with tbis bus last year was that the buaes were vezy crowded in the moming and
afteruoon. In fact, on a numbcr of occasions, I recall that all the persons waiR7ing could not ge2
an the bus aRer skiing in the at3ernaon. This is particularly true with the pick up stop at the base
of Gold Paak, Last year those pexsons were requircd to wait for 1/2 hour for the next bus. A
hour wait would not eveA, be acceptable. In fact, this une was often so busy that "special" busea
were put on the system to accommodate the crowds.
So I gue9s I am somewhat cotttused and concerned. If the 1/2 hour seivice last year resulted in
people that could not get on the buses and "special" buses were oRet1 required, what possible
positive results could come from thour service? VVhile I am swre that the volume o£ skaers will
not be declining by 5091a, 1 am somewhat coafused as to why you would be cutting the bus service
by 50%. If you rcally feel tbiat the senrice is not beiuag utilized, why ndt continue to pmvide 1/2
hour service duxing the busy periods aad 1 hour se'vice during the slow periods?
I wauld approciate a zesponse to this letter in pei'~son or in writiuig. Than]c yop.

(Ord. 27 (1992) 1-3: Ord. 8(1992) § 4(part).)
III. N01'ES FOR DISCl1SSIOR9
In the following guidelines, staff has used the HUD standards to determine the three tiers of
income levels. The goal staff had in mind by using these standards was to make the
proposed guidelines consistent with Federal guidelines. As a result, not only is there a
common language, but there is a consistency that coulci be used in the future if Vail is to
apply for Federal grants from HUD.
The three categories are very low income, low income, and free-market. The Town will have
the choice of determining what tiers will apply to what developments. There is no obligation
on the Town of Vail part to make very low income housing available. Regarding the mortgage
pool, staff believes it may be appropriate to make the program available to very low income at
first, moving through the tiers up to free-market.

The Eagle County median family income (MFI) for 1994 has been determine to be $50,600 by
HUD. Consultants working for the Town of Vail on the.Vail Commons project have adjusted
the Eagle County income to reflect the Town of Vail demographics which results in a median
family income of $60,720.00. When using these figures with the three different tiers, the
following income ceilings can be generated.

TOWN OF VA1L ASKS FOFt FIELP IIV TESTINC DIRECTIONAL SIGNS
FOR MAIiV VAIL ROIJ(VDABOUT
(Vail)--The Town of Vail is looking for volunteers to help critique directional signs
planned for the Niain Vail roundabout project. The feedback will occur during a series
of brainstorming sessions between now and Nov. 15.
Public Works Director Larry Grafel said the workshops are critical in evaluating
various messages and positioning of the signs that will guide first-time visitors to their
destinations. "We're not looking for rocket scientists," Grafel said. "We'll be asking
these volunteers to put themselves in the place of that first-time visitor or guest who
oftentimes leaves their brain at home."
Although reconfiguration of the Main Vail interchange will allow for a 50 percent
increase in capacity, effectiveness of the directional signs will be a key component of
the project's success, Grafel said. "Our intent is to make this as user-friendly as
possible. If we're not there yet, we need the public's help in tweaking the plan."
(more)
Roundabouts/Add 1
The public sessions will involve a hands-on "drive" through each leg of the
roundabout with opportunities to critique each sign along the way. The
test drive workshops are scheduled for: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Oct. 31, Vail Public
Library Community Room; 6 to 7:30 p.m., Nov. 3, Vail Town Council Chambers; 11:30
a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 10, Vail Village Inn; 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 10, FirstBank of
Vail; and 8 to 9:30 a.m., Nov. 15, Bart & Yeti's. Participation will be limited to 20
volunteers per session. To register or for more information, contact Suzanne
Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115.
Plans call for ground to be broken in April on the roundabout project, with completion
scheduled for July 1995. '

upcoming conversion from free parking to paid parking beginning IVov. 19 in the
Lionshead and Village structures and continuing to April 16, 1995.
The town will again offer the gold pass for unlimited parking and the blue pass for
restricted parking, while the traditional coupon program is being replaced this season
with a debit card system. The passes may be purchased in the Finance Department on
the lower level of the Municipal Center, 75 S. Frontage Rd. Debit cards are available in
the Finance Department or in the Transportation Center office on the fourth level of the
Village parking structure. The offices are open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. fUlonday through

purchase by Eagle County residents, employees or homeowners with valid

--Employee Recognition
Donald Gallegos, a heavy equipment operator in the Public Works Department, was
honored for 15 years of service. He will receive a check for $ 1,000 in recognition
of his contribution to the town.
--fnformation Update
Several of the newest council members expressed interest in gaining a better
understanding of the cemetery master plan which was adopted by the town nearly
a year ago. Also yesterday, council members considered putting the cemetery
question to a public vote--for or against--as a non-binding referendum. The ballot
question would determine support for a cemetery with the understanding that
funding would come from existing revenues. An overview of the cemetery master
plan will be presented at a fVovember work session. A site for the proposed
cemetery--the upper bench of Donovan Park--has already been approved by the
town. For more information, contact Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer at
479-21 13 or Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-
2138.

During an update on the Planning & Environmental Commission and Design Review
Board meetings, the Council suggested a review of the "250 ordinance." The

concern the provision may not be working as originally intended. The Council

directed Town Attorney Tom Moorhead to research the legality of restricting the
250 ordinance to certain neighborhoods. For more information, contact Mike
Mollica in the Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Vail Valley Festival of Lights
The Council granted a $50,000 request in unallocated marketing funds to the Vail
Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau to help support the 1994 Vail Valley Festival
of Lights campaign, a winter marketing promotion aimed at increasing early winter
business for lodges and retailers. In addition to the town, other cash sponsors
include Visa at the $25,000 level and Motorola at $10,000. The town's
contribution had been contingent upon corporate sponsorship. For more
information about the marketing program, contact Joel Heath at the Tourism &
Convention Bureau.
--1995 Budget Overview
In its final day of budget hearings, the Council reviewed proposals from the Palice
Department and data processing division, plus regional transportation, marketing
and special events. The 1995 budget will be considered for approval on first
reading Nov. 1 with final adoption Nov. 15.
Discussion points yesterday during the Police Department presentation included a
desire by the Council to determine operational and capital costs for management of
the Vail dispatch center to ensure that all costs all covered by the system's users
beginning in 1996; an effort to cross-train code enforcement officers in animal
control operations to supplement services provided by Eagle County; retention of
police officers; and an organizational assessment of the department to improve
internal operations and communications.
During the data processing discussion, the Council supported a $45,000 funding
request to complete a network system which would create a linkage of all
computer work stations throughout the town and a $17,000 request to replace the
public safety dispatch computer. •
--Regional Transportation
During the budget presentation on regional transportation, the Council was asked
to consider a 1995 funding request of $101,767, up from $88,008 in 1994, to
help subsidize the regional transportation system. The increase would help fund
the new express route from Lake Creek Apartments to Vail. The Council also was
asked to review a proposal from Eagle County to assist with a new Gypsum-Eagle-
Avon-Vail route for the winter season. In addition to the two short-term requests,
Public, Works Director Larry Grafel presented a list of what he called long-term
goals and objectives for regional transportation. They include: establish one
regional transit authority; develop a capital and operating plan; market and test
routes and ridership; prepare a transportation tax ballot question for 95 election;
(more)

TOV Highlights/Add 2
and consolidate all transportation entities into one. In response, the Council
suggesting placing conditions on its 1995 funding (yet to be determined)
agreement with the regional transit system. Those conditions likely will include
creation of a new name for the regional system, establishment of a regional transit
authority, the transfer of title of new federally-funded buses from the Town of
Avon to the regional authority and a competitive bidding process to operate the
system. As for the Gypsum-to-Vail route, the Council agreed to operate the
system with funds provided by Eagle County in an effort to facilitate creation of a
comprehensive regional system. In addition to Grafel, Harry Taylor of the Avon-
Beaver Creek Transit system and Eagle County Commissioner James Johnson were
in attendance yesterday. For more information, contact Grafel at 479-2173.
--Marketing & Special Events
In reviewing a request to fund marketing and special events activities under a
valleywide umbrella, the Council gave initial support to the concept. Frank
Johnson of the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau (VVTCB) has requested
$874,804 from the Town of Vail for 1995, about $100,000 above the town
manager's budget proposal. Because council members were reluctant to use the
town's fund balance to make up the difference, Johnson was asked to develop a
new budget based on a Vail contribution of $775,000. Kate Collins of the Avon-
Beaver Creek Resort Association also attended the meeting to reaffirm the
ABCRA's interest in operating Vail's information booths. The VVTCB is scheduled
to make another presentation to the Council at the Nov. 1 work session.

Dear Couacil Membere,
I,m writing this note in respowe to bearitig some distressing news ft pastweekend.
I arn a frequent visitor #o Vail, suoomer aud vhntex, and aiways stay at one of the golf
course area candos. I've been todd that you ara considering redncing bus seavice on the
golf course raute to how}y runs. I hop6 thar this is reviewed carefiilly and that this does
not happen! Ikn^ing the busy winter $esson the bus is ftill stazting at 8:00 AM. I,ve beea pa buses fcoIDn
9:00 ANI thraugh 4:00 PM that 13ave been atandiag rpom anly. One bus hourly wilt malce
for manY unhaPPY customers. It's a great "pW' far Vail to have such service ta the
slapes.
Fin also concerned about the traffic increase it wfll maks on the dowutown area. Cers line
the frontage road now on most Saturdays aY?d Sundays ;for lack of adequata paridng. This
situation cauld ttun into an absolute uightmare if stbers from the golf coqrse area are
fvrced to drive to the slopas.
If money is the prabiean, how about a smaU fee for bua seMoe? It's wvrth aheoking out all
the optians.
Y hope you take my note into consaderatian and DF? NOT be hasty, please DQ NQT
redu;e bus service ta the golf eourse $rea folks.
Sincerely, .
J'o Fairchild

Ihave just learmed that on TuesdayB November lo you will
consider a reduction of bus service to the golf courseo As a
taxpayer and property awner ia `lail s I want to relate my
oppositiora to reducing the bus servbcee g always use tlie
service whexa I stay in my condominium at Pailridgeo T find
the moraainq service to town to be aflequate, any'thing less
wauld be iaaconvenierat o The afterneora service from towra is
nat presentl.y adecauatea z catch the bus at Gald Peak o For
the last two wisaters I Fiave waited on average ?ialf an haur
only to find it is geaeally already full or so people are
waiting far the bus, I get pushed asade and must wait for
anothelt°e '
In addition, I want to express my conaern tha't a reduced bus
systern to the gvbf eaurse will hurt the rental pragram at
Fallradge. Many guests come ta Fallridge without a cara
wittaout coavenient bus serviCO tA and from townP tkaey may not
want to stay at Fallraclqe againe
a urge you ala go vote to continue the existing bus servide

Pages transmitted, including this one _1_ Re: BUS SERVICE - GOLF COURSE ROUTE
_I understand that Council is considering a proposal to' reduce the bus
service on the Golf Course route this winter to once per hour. While I
understand that Council is under pressure to achieve savings where
possible, it strikes me that this particular suggestion is a dubious
proposition and one that Council should reject.
My company owns a condo in Fallridge. Convenient bus service is an
important feature of the location for me, my guests and people who rent
the condo. I used the bus frequently last season during stays in early
December, late January and March. You no doubt have rider counts, but
my own observation was that the bus was quite heavily used, particularly
at peak times in the morning and afternoon. It seemed to be a much
appreciated service by people on the route and by others commuting from
the town centre to the cross country facilities. A frequency reduction
would not only reduce convenience but create a crowding problem during
peak times. This is just the kind of hassle people come to Vail to avoid.
Vail has earned the reputation of afirst class resort by being tops in
customer service. I don't think this proposal is consistent with the need to
protect that reputation.
Thanks you.

To the Town Cwuncil,
Vsil. Colorado '
As ownecs of tvw golf course properties, a aondo at Fall Ridge and a townhomey we writc to
veheaently protest the scale baclcs in the golf coiase bus sevices.
It is almdy almoBt lmpm?ssibie to get on the 8:35 am bms at Senbnrst Drive in dm seasota
and often compietety impossible to get on the 4:05 back from the Gotden PeslL In tb.e,
aiternoon, we 1m oRen had to wait a half aa hour fnr the next bus or go ta tbe txun.sportatioffi
centaer to get on the bus befrn+e it gets ta Golden Peak. You are nuning a sld resort, and you
should make it as easy as possxble to get bo the motuatain ~'i~om locatioas as close to the core as
the golf course. Yon mced more bnsca at peak tkmcs, not cutbacks. '
Gutbacl;s in buses at peac times will reault in texible cw ftaffic ou the gol£ cowse m$d and
ftffic jams as people aure let off and pickod up fi'om GoXdqa Peak. It will also csovvd the
tansportation center parking lot with many mo~re reddents' cam, leaving even less tnom for day
s~ders.
If you 5nd thst buses am RamWmg empty fuoi the mfddle df the d9y, fbat is whea some
sh"mImiup mng6t be necessary, conpled wfitlt increaseai service at peak times.
As to the fidea of soaPpft buses at 9:00 pm it is too earty. Maybe buses are not needed as late
as 1:30 am, but peopie on the golf eowse should be able to get into town to patronize restaurants
and stores without causing more car traffic and par1dwg problems -aad driving homc intoxacated
Doxft foxget, peaple in Vail are on vacatioa and paying haadsomely for the privllege of relaxing.
111Iso, unluke so many otheac plaaes in the oouatry, Vail is safe. That naeans the yowag people caa
go into town oa #heir own as lomg as tbiey ktave txanspotation. Buses should run till 11:OOpm.
Guts in the golf ootnm bus schedule will meke 9taying on the golf cotuse a sftssM expexience.
Expect m see rentds plummet and homes cease to sell at suah a brisk pace. That ti=slates unto
&-wer visxt,m, fevveZ M ticdceTs and fewer appommities for those of you privile,ged to make yaur
liviags in the Vail Valley. I wish th8t we did not have to work in the Ea4t aU year fax oux litttle
twbe of Colorado, but when we get it we wad to believe that you beXieve what you say on your
buses, i.e_ "Towm of Vail z,oves You".
. We pay combined Froperty taxes of over $4,000 a year. We don't use many of the sa-vices this
underwrites ioodurdiung the school system, but we do use the buses, as do our guests and reaters
all of whom spead many thousands more when they come to yeur reaort.

Re: Reception for Community Development Director Candidates
Dear Sir/Madam:
As you are aware, the Town of Vail has been conducting a search to fill the position of Community
Development Director. We have selected four candidates to interview for this position. Because of the
critical nature of this job and because the position involves significant public interaction, I have
scheduled a reception for the candidates. This will give you a chance to meet the candidates
informally and to discuss any issues which you feel is pertinent.
This reception will be held at the Evergreen Lodge on November lOth. It will begin at 6:00 p.m. and
last approximately one hour. Hordevors and cocktails will be served.
I hope you can make arrangements to attend as I am interested in your views on this matter. Please
R.S.V.P. to Anne Wright at 479-2105 by November 9th.
Sincerely,

Vail Town Council
c/o Peggy Osterfioss, Nlayor
75 South Frontage Road
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Peggy:
The V.R.D. Board of Direcfors has requested that I respond to your letter dated
October 13, 1994. First, we are disappointed that the council chose to take any public
action uuhatsoever on the dissemination of information to voters other than that which
is prescribed by Amendment #1. Pursuant to that constitutional provision, each Vail
property owner and each Vail registered voter will_receive a copy of the Par 3 Pros and
Cons. That effort will cost the Vail taxpayer approximately $6,800 in addition to the
approximate $3,000 cosfi to hold the coordinated election.
The V.R.D. effort alone will consist of sending the election notice along with the
Pros and Cons to over 10,000 homes. To state thaf we are not adequately disseminating
the Par 3 informafion and/or that vve are not meeting the provisions of Amendment #1 is
completely inaccurate.
You are correct 4hat as of 10/11 /94 no decision had been made to include the pros
and cons in the absentee ballot in addition to fhe other extensive mailing required by law.
The reason no decision was made was that the Secretary of Sta4e's office was deba4ing
with our Legal Counsel whether it would be appropriate to take such action. The V.R.D.
has agreed to pay for the cost to allow the pro and con statements to be placed in all
absentee ballots.
The Board's concern over the precedence of including the information with the
ballofs themselves would have been the same no matter who requested such action.
While I understand that as owners of the land you want to ensure that the
democratic process works, our elected officials have the same concern. The V.R.D.
board is elected by the same taxpayers 4o do what is in the best interest of recreational
issues. I believe, even as landlords, it is a dangerous precedence for the council to begin
~
~ . !

f
~

(
telling other elected bodies how to act in certain situations. The board clearly
understands its civic duty and takes that responsibility seriously and with great respect for ~
the community we serve. The board does not need to be reminded of ifs accountability '
by the town council.
The last sentence of your lefter sfiates "ff a court action were filed challenging the
outcome of the elec4ion which would extend the result beyond December 31, 1994, the
Town Council uvill consider other alternafiives fior the land."
The Board is hereby requesting a clarification of that sen4ence. Is the council
referring to any courf action, or court ac4ion specific to the pros and cons? Our concern is
that this s4atement appears to represenfi an open invifiation for someone 4o file an action
againsfi the district with the sole intention being to delay the election outcome until af4er
December 31, 1994. Also, we would like to know when that vote was taken and the
number ofi council members for and agains4 that stance. The statement seems to
contradict other votes taken by the council in support of the Par 3.
The Vail Recreation District Board of Directors is pleased that the voters of Vail
vuill ultimately decide the fate ofi this recreational amenity. We hope tha4 once the
outcome is decided, both of our elected bodies will be able to honor the voters' wishes
without court action or further delay.
I appreciate your attention 4o this matter and anxiously avvait your reply.
Very truly yours,
/

We were appal7.ed ta hear that you axe consirlerinJ having the Go7,f
Course Towra of Vail bus route run only hourlY during the winter
seagone
Ig anything, we wotsld havG thoaagkat you'd be irncreasing the nwnber

buse~ are packed daaring moxning and post-skz hoursa They are so
packed 5t worry Iwill lose mx small childxen, or that the skis and I
polea my small childreaa carry wila hurt ather people. I don°t see
how Yau can consider packbnq these buses further during these hours
bY makin9 hourby runso
Consider also th@ depYarable parking situation at Golden peak,
where we spend Bevepal hundred dolZars eaCh ski day for aur
Ch11dY'eYl ta partake in Vail Ski School e
impossible to ick u Alreac~y it gs neapl~,
1~ p a child there after the skz aay is done,
either by bltg, beoause they're so packed, ar by car, because there
is highly limited paxka.ng. We teaid ta drop the kids aff by the bus
and pYck up with 'the car, because ghe buses are often too
to Put a tired chi~.c~ ori, idheh yoea decrease tlae number og ~use,~~

Via Facsimile 303/479-2157 Oatober 31, 1994
Towm of Vai 1, Colorado We have been told that the Town cf Vail is considering vhanging its
cur:rent bus schedule, whicta services our building at 1650 East vail
Valley Drive, as follaws
From: 5:00 a.m to 2:00 a.m. every half fiiaux-
To: 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. every haur
We ask that you please reconsider this change because of the
problems this could incur:
Our childxen use this line to get to and from town.
withaut the bus line ranning, they would resort to
wallcing, which could cause svme problems at aertain tiiaes
of the day.
we alsv have guests stayinq at our residence that depend
an the bus line the way xt is in order to get back and f orth f roxn tcwn.
Also, consider the possibility af people dririlcing and
driving at night and the problems that could create.
All in all, we hope that you will reconsider your plan to change
the current schedule.
sincerely,

. I*a Vail Golf Caurse Townhouse owner at 1660 Sunburst Drlve #13. It is my
understanding the Town of VaiI in considering a cut back of bus service during the
wiriter months. AS one that uses the service regularly, I°m concerned about any
cut#mk in service. Many times during "n,sh haur° the bus is completely fi.rli!? During
peak periods there shauld be no cutbacks in the frequency of the service. I can
: understand potential cutback of service durirg off hours but pleass do not cut'back the
. haurs. Not having tO worry about driving & parking is on of the gr+eat things about the
Val Valley.
' Please do no# cut back the bus servioe to the Golf Course ama. !f you wouid !i[ce to
discuss thls further please contact rne at 402-421-6400. I laok forwrard to anather
grea# season and riding the best bus system in the w+orld.

RQ: Propased reduction of Gclf Course Bus As an ownc~ of a unit at Fallridqe, we see this propased change as
"a robbii1y Peter to pay Paul" situation. .
Fallridge management has always encouraged aur guests to avail
themseives of all the facilities in the Town af Vail. Cutting the
bus schedule will savO some money on one side of the ledger, but
sales revenues in Vaiz village wi1l be lost. .
We are also concerned about people not having safe transportation
after an evening in Vail. .
Please give this proposal some seripus thought because we see this
proposed savings as very short sighted.
Thanks for listening.

4:30 P.M. 3. The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation is proposing a visitor's center expansion

Sammye Meadows Master Plan, which was approved in August of 1984, does not specifically
Rudi Fisher mention a visitor's center in the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, the Vail Alpine
Garden Foundation is now requesting the Vail Town Council's permission
to proceed through the planning process to amend the Ford Park Master
Plan.
Action Repuested of Council: Approve, approve with conditions, or deny
the Alpine Garden Foundation's request to proceed through the planning
process to amend the Ford Park Master Plan.
Backqround Rationale: The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation is proposing
an expansion to the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens in the form of a visitor's
center and alpine rock garden. The visitor's center and alpine rock garden
represent the final phase of the Betty Ford Alpine Garden Master Plan.
The visitor's center proposed by the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation will be
used to provide office space for the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation
employees, and a retail gift shop and an educational center for visitors to
the Betty Ford Alpine Garden. It is believed by the applicant that the
current design for the visitor's center and alpine rock garden most closely
reflects the Ford Park Master Plan's criteria for low profile, natural materials
and its appropriateness to surrounding terrain.

'g'o Vail 'I'own Council,
I would like to first say thank you on behalf of our Board of Y?irectors and staff for the
opportunity to review what we have been doing at tlail Valley Community 'g'elevision
Channel 5 and to speak about what we hope to accomplish in the future.
Musseon
The mission of Vail Valley Community Television is to foster cominunication throughout
the Vail Valley. We aim to create a gnedium for citizens, municipalities, non-profit
organizations and other groups to get their word out, create an awareness and begin a two
way discussion between them and others. We feel this is an important mission because
through this strong communication we create a better informed and involved community.
As we see the growt.h of this area increase at a surprisingly strong rate, we feel this
opportunity to communicate becomes even more important if we are involve our citizens in
the many issues facing our future. iNe feel that an informed public will make for a stronger
community and make the job of governing much easier.
Operateouus
tlail Valley Community 'g'elevision fulfills it's mission by operating in two ways.
The first is provide "Public Access" for the citizens of the Vail Valley. This means that
any citizen can access Channel 5 by contacting the station, fulfilling the user guidelines that
outline use of the staflon and creating their television message. 'I'his is done on a
volunteer basis with assistance from our paid staff.
The second way we operate is as a"Community'I'elevision" station. We create programming
that we feel fulfills our mission to encourage communication and a sense of community in
our valley. 'g'his programming includes shows that seive as a vehicle for discussing local
issues and coverage of local events and sports. T'hese programs include town council
coverage, election issue coverage and programs from government groups to better inform
their citizens. 'g'hese programs involve a paid person to insure that coverage of the event
or issue gets done. Volunteers or town employees could be used, but volunteers often don't
show up and town employees do not have the 4ime to become trained and cover these
events.
1Faarading ~ Growth
The station has grown in many ways since it's inception in the spring of 1982. VVe feel we
have followed a very conservative management style in operating the station. Our funding
comes mostly from the franchise fees collected on cable service through out the valley. VVe
have tried to operate on those dollars for the most part and avoid going to the same sources
. that many of the other non-profit groups go to for additional funds. We feel that there are
a lot of groups in the valley that need those dollars and we have tried to be a resource or
tool to help them create an awareness of their projects and then seek their funding.
gn the last year we have had a signi5cant increase in request.s to cover important issues in
our valley. 'I'hese have included amendment issues, 4,he round-about, the par 3 golf course
and open space.
In coming years as the demand for our service increases, we will do everything in our power
to answer the requests for coverage we receive. gf the pattem of grovvth continues we will
need more operational dollars to cover these evenfs and issues. We will continue to seek
out additional ways of funding these needs througb sponsorships, grant.s and other creative
sources.
iCmnclusion
It is our hope that `Iail will continue to support and be a partner in this very 'vnportant
mission of increasing communication and awareness throughout the valley. Vde feel this is
an important mission because as our valley grows we will face many new challenges. By
creating this forum for discussion, we will have a citizenship that is better informed and
aware of the issues facing all of us and the decision our elected officials have to make. VVe
feel that an informed public will inake for a stronger community and make the job of
governing much easier.
We feel strongly that the dollars contributed by the Town of Vail, 2% of the franchise fee,
have been conservatively managed, conscientiously overseen and well spent. We ask you to
continue this financial support and work with us in acquiring the capitol and equipment
dollars needed for the station through the current franchise negotiations with TCI.
In retum we promise to con4inue to make Vail Valley Coinmunity 'I'elevision a vital
communication resource for the citizens of Vail and the entire valley.
'd hank you for your consideration if these matters. If you have any furY.her questions feel
free to contact me at your convenience.

Alpine
Garden November 2, 1994
~ Foundation , Mayor Peggy Osterfoss ' . Members of the Vail Town Council . ,
, Vail, ,Colorado 81657 • Dear Mayor Osterfoss and Councilmembers:
The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation hereby requests permission of the Vail Town -
Council to apply for an amendment to the Ford Park Master Plan to allow the -
construction of a Visitor Center in Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.
~ , .
While a facility to house environmental education and botanic exhibits has been an
integral component of Betty Ford Alpine Gardens since its conception, no facility is specifically mentioned in the existing Ford Park Master Plan. TYierefore, the Town
staff has advised us that we must seek to amend the Master Plan to allow for such ,
use. "
The facility, we plan to construct is currently being designed by Eisher Architects and
Galvin Design, with museum exhibits by Formations, Inc.,. of Portland, Oregon. With
its unique architectural style and educational mission, it will be a facility of national
and international significance - a special enhancement for the Gardens, Ford Park, and
_ the community of Vail. It will be a circular, earth sheltered building lying beneath the • Alpine Rock Garden. When planted in 1996, this garden will be the fourth and final
phase and will complete Betty Ford Alpine Gardens.
The new Alpine Roek Garden will consist of approximately one half acre at the lower
level of Ford Park between the existing Gardens and the ball fields. The Visitor Center will be sited towar,d the western side of this one half acre. This area is ,
currenfly composed of landfiTl left.behind after the constructon of the Amphitheater.
With the rock garden on its roof, our facility will, be infinitely more attractive than the
existing rubble. . .
Locating the Center in this area can'help to direct the flow of public access from
upper level recreation activities to lower level cultural and natural areas. It will
, provide enhanced pedestrian linkage to Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Gore Creek and the Vail Nature Center. Such pedestrian flow was.
suggesteci by the Ford Park Master Plan in 1984 (see page 25). By granting this
amendment, you will be helping to fulfill the document's original intent.
, "Uail will be as well knowri in the summerfor its flowers as it is in the winter for its skiing.

Mayor Peggy Osterfoss/Members of the Vail Town Council
November 2, 1994 - page two '
Designed to enclose approximately 7,000 square feet, the Visitor Center will provide
indoor space for alpine botanic exhibits, botanic library, museum shop, restrooms,
work area, and multi-purpose room. De"signed to be architecturally compatible with '
the landscape, the entire building will be integrated into the Alpine Rock Garden. .
The, facility is designed for passive solar heating and will provide an attractive, energy conserving, open space within the Garden. It is designed to be very practical from a
maintenance standpoint and to attract visitors without distracting them from the
, beauty of the Park. The materials to be used for constructing the Center will include
native lichen rock, flag stone, wood beams, and soil suitable for growing plants from
the world's alpine regions. '
' The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation wants to honor Mrs. Ford next year with the .
• 'dedication of the Visitor Center. Toward that goal we have initiated "Friends of Betty
Ford", a private solicitation plan to raise the nucleus of a'$1.7 million capital fund for
construction of the Visitor Center and exhibits., Cash and pledges equalling
approximately one third of that goal have been received to date. _
We expect to have the funding and the Town of Vail planning approvals needed to
break ground for the Visitor Center in the Spring of 1995, and to plant the Alpine ,
Rock Garden in the Summer of 1996. Both are projected to be open for public use by
the Summer of 1997. ~
Enclosed are copies of design drawings of the Visitor Center and Alpine Rock Garden
for the Council's review. Your consideration of this amendment to the Ford Park ,
Master Plan, is very much appreciated. Please call me or our architect Rudi Fisher
(303-949-5624) if you have questions or need any additional information.
Sincerely, `

_ VIEW OF MODEL FROM THE SOUTH
As shown by this aerial view, the Visitor Center "disappears" into the landscape of the Alpine Rock Garden as the ;
rocks and plants of the garden gently dissolve into the stone walls and deeply recessed doors of the building. Visitors ~
are drawn into the Alpine Rock Garden by an entry gate (bottom left in the photograph) which frames a unique view I
of the Gore Range. Passing through this gateway, visitors will find the gardens all about them, and before them, an '
inviting path runs along side a stream leading through another gateway of massive stones and timbers overrun by ~
flowers. Within lies the "heart" of the gardens, a courtyard with plants and stones tumbling down one side, a
t,~,aterfall ~a~c~dir~g -,.1cm,n the other side, and the im-iting doors of the ViSitor r'i'- ;n front,

VIEW OF MODEL WITH UPPER PORTION OF GARDEN REMOVED
With the top of the model removed, the building under the garden is revealed. The plan of the Visitor Center
embraces the courtyard to bring the garden into the building. In the summer, the building can open up to the
courtyard such that the interior and exterior of the Visitor Center can be used simultaneously. The arcing path of the
building plays against the arcing path of the sun, providing an ever shifting natural light to the building from hour ~
to hour and season to season. Within, richly textured natural materials capture the sun's light and warmth. The
simplicity of the plan provides a suitable and flexible framework for the constantly changing exhibits and activities that will occur in the Visitor Center.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Robert W. IVIcLaurin, Town Manager
DATE: IVovember 4, 1994
SUBJECT: Mortgage Guarantee Program
Please find the attached documents which relate to the Mortgage Guarantee Program which we
are currently working on with FirstBank. The first document is a memorandum from Norm Helwig
who is the attorney for FirstBank to Tom Moorhead and Mark Ristow. The second document is
the outline of the mortgage loan agreement. This agreement would be between the Town of Vail,
FirstBank and the individual buyer and address the particulars of the program. Finally, we have
attached changes to the Employee Housing Guidelines to be incorporated in this program. These
guidelines include creation of a type 6 employee housing unit. Andy Knudtsen will be present at
the meeting to review the specifics of the proposed changes for you.

MEMOR4NDUM
TO: Tom Moorhead and Mark Risfovv
FROM: Norm Helvvig ,
DATE: November 1, 1994
F2E: 1'own ofi !lail Mortgage Financing Projecfi
I apologize for my delay in getting back in touch with both of you after our initial
meefings. However, I am now in a position to move forward with this project as
expedifiously as may be necessary.
First of all, i4 appears fhafi a requesf will be made on November 14, 9994 to
amend both the applicable Code provisions and the Guidelines with respect to 'Type !!I
Employee Housing Units." Since there are a number of people who are already
involved in 4his particular part of the process, it might be best for us to focus
immediately upon the issues which vvill become critical in drafting appropriate
amendments.
Eligibilitv Repuirements
The program eligibilifiy requirements should be carefully analyzed from the
perspec4ive of the Town and the Bank. I think 4hat wre vvould quickly agree that the
Town's qualification guidelines for eligible individuals should be established by the
Town itself wiithouf 40o much oversight on the par4 ofi the bank. This is not fo say that
someone found to be eligible by the Town would automatically be en4itled to receive a
loan. The bank wrould still apply its customary borrower interview and data analysis
tes4s fio determine that the borrower(s) met the special credit parameters for this
program. For example, an individual who is othervvise eligible under the Towrn
guidelines vvould still be 4urned down by the Bank if his or her credif report indicated an
extremely poor credit history or the special ratio requirements were not satisfied.
14 has been sugges4ed 4ha4 the bank may wish 4o have the responsibility for
confirming eligibility ofi borrowers under the Town guidelines or at least monitoring this
eligibility in some fashion during the course of the loan. I strongly recommend that the
bank not be involved in any procedure of this nafure. The entire concept of eligibility
under the present or the proposed amended guidelines can be fiairly complicated and
intricate. For example, a person would have to be either an "employee," a"senior," or
a"handicapped person" (or a dependent of one of these) and fit wi4hin one of 4hree
1
~
income categories in order to meet the qualification requirements under the 1990/91
affordable housing guidelines issued by the Town. None of the suggested
amendments to the Code or the guidelines attempts to alter these requirements. It is
difficult to imagine how the bank could effectively determine, either initially or on an
ongoing basis, whether someone meets these requirements. And more important, the
bank would not want to undertake the risk of making such a determination.
This is not to say that the bank has no desire to at least comment upon some of -
the Town's proposed borrower eligibility requirements. I think Mark will want to analyze
the income range and asset limit restrictions in the 1990/91 guidelines and make any
suggestions which might be appropriate under the present economic circumstanc:es.
We should also keep in mind that either the Town or the bank will have to
develop some additional program guidelines which touch on eligibility. For example,
the borrower must occupy the property as his or her primary residence. This
requirement is in the 1990/91 guidelines, but I presume that the Town will want ta
establish this kind of requirement in its new definition of 'Type VI Employee Housing
Units" (the new category for this particular program). This would also be a bank-
imposed requirement. The collateral requirements, on the other hand, are very much a critical ele:ment
in terms of the bank's credit analysis for each proposed loan. In Mark's memorandum
to his loan committee dated September 1, 1994, he proposed that the program would
include mortgage loans for single family dwellings, duplex and multifamily units, and
condominium units. I assume that we can all agree that the real property interest
securing the loan must be a legally subdivided dwelling unit which is susceptible i:o
normal fee simple ownership. The program would not cover separate rooms or groups
of rooms within an existing dwelling and would not cover fractionalized interests iri one
dwelling unit.
All of this is important, because some of the definitions of employee housing
units (EHU) in the guidelines suggest that an EHU could exist under less than full fee
simple ownership or might be comprised of something less than the entire dwelling unit.
Even though the bank will not be selling these mortgage loans in the secondary rriarket,
they must be qualifying mortgage loans in terms of the bank's internal guidelines and
standards. This means a fee simple interest which is capable of being insured under
an ALTA loan policy issued by a local title insurer. It would be fairly easy for the bank to identify the qualifying property
requirements for this program. The bank already has a mortgage loan program kriown
as the FIRM 5 Loan. Since all of the loans in the Town mortgage loan program will be
structured as FIRM 5 Loans, the FIRM 5 guidelines could be utilized for the mos4 part in
describing the property requirements.

Q
1
Deed Restrictions
The restrictions which have apparently been agreed upon are the following:
1. The borrower(s) musfi continue to own and occupy the dwel(ing during
the 4erm of the loan as a primary residence.
2. Af all times during the term of the loan the borrower(s) must remain
eligible under the T'ovvn guidefines as a"residen4 empioyee" (or whatever
definitive phrase is conjured up #or an accep4able borrower under.this
program).
3. Some 4ype of limitation wrill be imposed upon future sales prices for the
dwelling.
4. The T'own will have something like a first right of refusal to redeem the
dwelling from a foreclosure sale.
I propose fiha4 these restrictions (and any o4hers which we might agree should be
included) be placed in a standard three-party agreement which would be executed by
the Tovvn, the bank and the borrower(s) on or before the fiime of closing of each
mortgage loan. The execution of this agreement would be a condition precedent to
making the loan. The agreement would be recorded along with the bank's deed of trust
and the conveyancing deed. The conveyancing deed and the deed of 4rust would both
make specific reference 4o the agreement. This procedure should work in all cases,
since the program will not be available 4o borrowers who already own the property.
It might be a good idea for the agreemen4 40 obligate the borrower(s) to deliver
some sort of certification on an annual basis to the Town atfesting to their continuing
ownership and occupancy of the dwelling and their confiinuing eligibility for the
program. This may ameliorate some of the monitoring probfems.
As to future sales price limitafiions, I am no4 sure that the bank will want 4o be too
involved with determining the parameters of this kind of requiremenfi. A maximum profit
based upon some sort of CPI limitation has been suggested, and it would be necessary
to make an excep4ion for improvements 4o the dwelling which vvere performed or paid
for by the borrower(s). The analysis and decision-making in this area seems fo be
more within the province of the Town.
As fo the redemp4ion right in favor ofi the 1'own, this could be handled easily in
the agreemen4. My preliminary research leads me to believe fihat a redemption right
3
i
~
. f
can arise under the foreclosure statute by agreement without the Town having to
possess an actual subordinate lien against the property. This does not answer the
problem which could occur, however, if a judgment creditor or a junior lienor attempted
to foreclose. Tom and I will have to discuss this in more detail.
Suffice it to say, if the property were to pass through foreclosure, the restrictions
would be terminated. Although this would happen as a matter of law (because these
are not restrictions which run with.the land), the agreement should also provide that
this will be the result of any foreclosure and sale of the property. The bank needs to be
absolutely protected in this particular area, because it will want to be able to market the
property free of any restrictions in the unlikely event that the Town fails to exerciye its
redemptive rights. ,
This leads to the question of whether the agreement should provide that the
Town must exercise its redemptive rights in the event of any foreclosure. I can think of
a number of different arguments going each way, and the three of us need to discuss
this.
I have prepared a rough draft of an outline of the proposed three party
agreement. I will deliver a copy to each of you on Thursday afternoon for your review
and comments.
Cash Collateral Pledqe bv Town
Since the Town is not interested in any 95% LTV/LTC loans, I presume that wre
will be dealing, for the most part, with 90% LTV/LTC loans. This means that the 1"own
will be pledging cash in each loan transaction in the amount of 10% of the purchase
price. This requirement obviously needs to be refined. Is it going to be 10% of the
purchase price as shown in the purchase agreement, or is it going to be 10% of the
"amount due from buyer" as shown on the buyer's closing settlement sheet? Mark and
I need to discuss this.
The form of the pledge will apparently be some type of deposit account (I
presume savings or CD's) maintained by the Town at the bank. It has been suggested
that the interest rate paid on this account should be negotiated in advance, and Iagree.
It has also been suggested that the Town might simpiy pledge its interest in other
deposit accounts which are already established. This is somewhat more troublesome
and may add an unnecessary layer of complexity to the program.
How should the pledge be documented and perfected? The agreement shauld
obviously refer to the pledge. However, I would also like to see the Town execute
some type of security agreement to serve as the basic pledge document. This can be
4
I
4
t
modified from time to time as loan firansactions are booked, paid, efic. lJnder the newr
UCC, a financing statemenfi would also have to be flled.
Must the plecige be maintained for five years under every conceivable situation?
If so, wilf this create problems from the Town's operationai point of vie~? ts ifi fair 40
require a 10% pledge to be maintained for the full five years, for example, vvhen the
loan is paid down belovv a cer4ain point? These are issues I vvould like to address..
Mliscellaneous Issues
As soon as the program has been properly fleshed out, Tom and Swill be in
4ouch vvith Dee VVisor a4 Sherman & Howard regarding the requirements of the opinion
letter to be issued on behalf ofi the Town. Iwan4 to be involved in the formulation of this
opinion letter and be cer4ain fhat ifi meets a number of standards. The bank will not
vvish 4o proceed vei4h the program unless it is very clear that the operafiion of the
program presents no consfiitutional, legal or regulatory impediments.
I note fhat the guidelines deal with questions of size, permitted GRFA, number of
garages, and so forth wri4h respect fio eligible dwrellings. Again, I am not sure that the
bank really needs to have any input on these mat4ers. The bank will have its own credit
criteria, and I wrould fhink tha4 most dwrellings, if 4hey are owned in fee and are legally
subdivided, would qualify under the bank's criteria.
The question has come up as fo whether an eligible borrower could
subsequen4ly lease the dwrelling 4o another person who would othenwise be eligible
under the guidelines without violating the deed restrictions. I think this presents too
many problems, -and 4hat the bank must insist on con4inuing and permanent occupancy
by the borrower(s).
Some thoughts were expressed about the nature of the borrovver's employmen4
or the source of his or her employmen4. Again, I think fhat the bank would be wading
into tall cot4on if it became involved in determining or having any inpu4 into issues like
fihis.
The bank would li6ce to require the borrower(s) to u4ilize a deposit accounfi
mainfiained at the bank for the purpose of making au4omatic payments. I had earlier
vvorried about tying arrangemen4s and possible antitrus4 violations in this area.
However, ifi appears that this type of tying can be accomplished if the customer is
offered a realis4ic advantage which is not otherwise available fio regular customers
(e.g., a lower loan infierest rate).

~
Conclusion
I would like to suggest that the Town prepare its own eligibility requirements for
this proposed program, and that Mark and { can work on a set of eligibility requirements
from the bank's perspective which will address the types of collateral, the deed restrictions, and so forth. .We could then exchange documents and quickly submit
comments. In the meantime, Tom and I can flesh out the three-party agreement into .
some type of proposed form for review by the bank and by Town officials.

Re: Town of Vail flRortgage Financing Project
Dear Marlc and Tom:
In anticipa4ion of the upcoming work session wi4h the Town Council 4oday, I have
completed and attached an expanded draft of Section 2 of the three party agreement dealing with
the bank's commitmenf and the proposed borrowrer eligibility requirements from the bank's
perspective. I have also a44empfed 4o complete a portion of Section 8 of the agreement which
gives the Tom the right to purchase the Loan from Bank in the even4 of any involuntary
foreclosure proceeding affecting any property subjec4 to the Program. A copy of the draff of this
portion of Section 8 is also a4tached.
V1/ith this much of the agreement being fleshed out in more detail, the participants at the
work session may be able 4o focus on specific issues relating 4o program eligibility from the
Town's perspective. It is my unders4anding 4hat Mark will not be able 4o attend the worlc session.
If, as I have sugges4ed, the work session can be focused on eligibility from the Town's point of
view, bank participa4ion at the work session may really not be required. I an4icipate, however,
4ha4 a fu4ure work session will be necessary 4o integrate all parts of the program and the
agreement. If both of you feel 4ha4 I should attend that particular work session, I will be happy 40
do so.
Please let me knovv if either of you envision a differen4 approach 4a this mat4er. I am very
flexible, so please do no4 hesitafe 4o suggest a change in direc4ion.
" Cordially yours,
No an R. Helwig

8.6 Right of Town to Purchase Loan.
8.6.1 In the event any administrative or
judicial proceeding is commenced for the
foreclosure and sale of the Property, or
in the event any other action is taken by
a third party with any lien or claim
against the Property to bring about an
involuntary sale of the Property, Town
shall have the right, but not the.
obligation, to purchase the Loan from Bank '
and exercise any remedies or powers which
Bank may have under the Loan Documents.
It is intended that the right to purchase
the Loan under these circumstances is an
important and essential element of this
agreement. The exercise of this right
will permit Town to preserve the pool of
dwellings which are part of the Program
and enable the Property to be made
available for purchase by another.eligible
resident employee under the Program.
Therefore, the right of Town to purchase
the Loan and exercise all rights and
remedies of Bank under the Loan Documents
should be construed in the most
comprehensive fashion in order to accord
Town the maximum flexibility under the
Program and under the Loan Documents.
8.6.2 In the event Town elects to purchase the
Loan in this situation, Town shall notify
Bank of its election in writing and shaYl
tender to Bank the outstanding balance of
principal and accrued interest owed to
Bank under the Loan Documents. Upon
acceptance of this amount by Bank, the
pledge obligation of the Town with respect
to the Loan shall be released, and the
Loan Documents shall be endorsed,
transferred, assigned and delivered to
Town by Bank without recourse. Bank shall
cooperate with Town thereafter in
assisting Town to exercise any right or
remedy available under the Loan Documents.

8e6.3 In the event Town becomes the owner of the
Property by exercising its rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents in this fashion, Bank,will thereafter review and
process any subsequent mortgage loan
application under the Program from another
eligible resident employee with respect to
the Property. However, any mortgage loan•
approved by Bank under these circumstances
shall be established as a new and separate
mortgage loan under the Program and shall not
be related to or affected by the previous
mortgage loan in any fashion.

MORTGAGE LOAN AGREEMENT
This agreement is entered into this day of , 199 ,
by and between the Town of Vail (the "Town"), FirstBank of Vail
(the "Bank"), and (individually or colleetively
referred to as the "Borrower").
Recitals
A. Borrower has applied to Bank for a mortgaqe loan in the
amount of $ (the "Loan") in connection with Town's
current Residential Employee Mortgage Loan Program (the
"Program"). The Loan is intended to be used for the purchase by
Borrower of a Qualified Dwelling Unit as defined below. Borrower
has been determined by Town to be a Qualified Buyer as defined in
the current Program guidelines and as defined below. The
Qualified Dwelling Unit to be purchased by Borrower shall
hereafter be referred to as the "Property."
B. In order to be eligible for the Program, Borrower is
required to execute this agreement with Town and Bank which
places various restrictions upon the use, transfer and
marketability of the Property.
C. Providing that Borrower meets the credit standards and
other qualifications required by Bank under the Program, Bank is
willing to make the Loan to Borrower.
ACCORDINGLY, the parties hereby covenant and agree as
follows: I
1. Definitions. As used in this agreement, the following
words and phxases shall have the indicated meanings
consistent with the context:
[This wi11 be a fairly extensive section and wi11
contain all of the qvalification and eligibility
requirements under the Program as we11 as various types
of loan and financing definitions.]
2. Mortgage Loan to be Made by Bank.
[This section will describe the bank's commitment to
make the mortgage 1oan, the terms of the loan, the
restrictions from the bank's perspective, and the
continuing requirements of the borrower.]
1
3. Credit Accommodation by Town.
[This section will describe the Town's 10$ pledge
requirement for each mortgage loan which is closed.
The mechanics of the pledge may or may not be
appropriate for insertion here. These details
obviously need to be reduced to writing, bvt a separate
pledge agreement may be more useful.]
4. Obligation of Borrower to Execute Documents.
[Inasmuch as this will be a fairly document-intensive
program, the Borrower needs to acknowledge his or her
obligation to execute all necessary loan and program
documents deemed necessary by either the Town or the
bank. In addition, the Borrower should be required to
execute documents in the future which are determined to
be necessary for loan program and regvlatory compliance
purposes.]
5. Title Insurance Policies.
[Since both the owner's and lender's policies must
contain schedvled exceptions relating to this recorded
agreement and the restrictions that are contained in
this agreement, it would be appropriate to describe the
policies and disclose the fact that they wi11 contain
exceptions which describe the restrictions contained in
this agreement. I have contacted Karen Horth at Land
Title and will meet with her tomorrow or Monday, if
possible, to discuss the restrictions and their effect
from her company's point of view. ]
6. Limitations on Sale or Transfer. •
[This section would contain all of the required
limitations and restrictions with respect to the future
sale or transfer of the property.]
7. Limitations on Occupancy and Use.
[These provisions will be developed by the Town and
will presumably not require a great deal of input from
the bank.]
8. Involuntary Proceedings.
2
I ~
a
G
[This section will describe a11 of the possible types
of involuntary proceedings which covld affect the
property (e. g. , foreclosure of the bank's deed of
trust, assertion of a levy or judgment lien, etc.) and
provide the Town with a right of redemption in any
proceeding in which the property covld be sold. Tom
and I wi11 have to draft this langvage carefully in
order to produce a fu11y effective redemption right in
favor of the Town. I will also go over this potential
language and concept with Karen Horth.]
9. Profit Limitations on Sale of Property.
[This section would contain the permissible profit
margins which the borrower would be allowed to receive
upon a future sale of the property. I anticipate that
the Town will have fu11 control over the content and
form of these limitations, and that the bank will not
be involved in their implementation. Some thovght must
be given as to how this will be enforced, and I wi11
certainly discuss this with Karen Horth.]
10. Representations and Warranties of Borrower.
11. Representations and Warranties of Town.
12. Representations and Warranties of Bank.

p, SHORT TERM ROADMAP TO ON-GOING INLPROVEMENT OF THE WAY WE DO TH~INGS
1. Establish a"mindset" precedent for rider/public perception of bus service:
Do it for East Vail service:
o If 4 times per hour is right for.peak daytime hours,
o What's right for off-peak daytime hours: 2X, 3X ?
2. Commit to make changes to improve golf course rider/public perception of service:
o use 22 person vans in the evening hours
o come up with a compromise --especially in the evening
- if 1/2 hour service is too frequent and one hour is too infrequent,
- how about 45 minute service till midnight?
3. Be logical and fair in responding to new service for one of many
"up-on-the-hillside"_ communities:
o don't rob Peter to pay Paul
o may be time to evaluate funding all of the bus service. -
only from the monies collected from V.A.--as demand fr.om unserved areas rises
4. Al1ow your paid staff to consider all three service management links
(I N P U T/ P R 0 C E S S/ 0 U T P U T) before you make decisions
o allow time before making decisions, to allow your staff and volunteers from
the community to help in putting together "completed staff work"
IN SUMMARY, IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO AVOID MAKING A SERIES QUESTIONABLE DECISIONS
AFFECTING YOUR STAFF, VISITORS TO VAIL AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS. I URGE THAT WE
GET BACK ONTO A ROAD OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT OF THE PROCESSES THAT iMAKE OUR
TOWN WORK. PAUL J. RONDEAU
"self-described Vail resident in pursuit of a level

HISTORY OF GOLF COURSE SERVICE--A ROADMAP TO ON-GOING IMPROVEMENT ?
1991
o Decision to run a one way loop (in the same direction al.l day) using
the Frontage Road vs. going out/back on the golf course. This freed
up time to service Ford Park.
o One problem,it really didn't work as it didn't recognize the flow of
traffic reverses at end of afternoon. In short, you couldn't get from Gold
Peak to the Golf course.
o Citizen input highlighted the problem and presented a solution--reversing
loop direction at mid-day. The suggestions were initially turned down
for a variety of "knee-jerk" reasons--including the fact that the schedules
had already been printed.
o After a petition requesting the change was distributed and presented to the Town,
a win-win scenario was developed. The basis of reversing the loops
stands today.
- for their efforts in putting in untold hours on this decision, the
Golf Course re.sidents requested that they be given an opportunity each
year to review the new schedule--Paul Rondeau agreed to round up a group
of interested, even-handed residents
1992/1993
o Town telephoned Paul Rondeau to review the schedule and see if a caucus
of residents was required--none required as only minor schedule changes planned
1994
o Major changes of cutback prposed
- Initially no public input or announcements
- Subsequently, a limited group was brought into consultation
- Finally, on 11/3/94 the Town Council Highlights was received by
residents and on 11/4/94 the issue was reported in the paper

It was a once-in-a-lifetime event.... Denver's multi-billion dollar intemational airport open for the exclusive
use of general aviation pilots. From as far away as California and Idaho they came - in Learjets, Crop-
dusters and 172's, even a res4ored Japanese World VVar II figh4er was part of the contingency of 600
aircraft which began arriving a4 7,4M on Sunday, September 25th.
The arrivals vvere limited 40 60 per hour - an Oshkosh4ype ATC schedule which gave 4he DIA Tower
folks a chance to "work" the traffic as a dry-run for the real thing to come along in late February 1995.
Visitors fo 4he airporfi vvere v+relcorne in the Terminal Building vvhere food vendors were open for the
event - and a good time'was had by all!

FANTAS'Y OF FLIGH7' DELIGHTS THOUSANDS
It's been less than a year since Colorado students were first given an opportunity to experience the Fcmtasy ofFlight
at the First Annual Rockv Mountain Air Fair in October 1993. Since that time, this interactive hands-on approach
has introduced school students to the wonders of aviation.
Nearly 6000 students have participated in the Fantasy of Flight Activity Centers'at its various locations statewide
since last October. At schools as far removed from one another as Plateau Valley School in Collbran and the Sterling Middle School in Sterling, students have learned from volunteer instructors the fine poimts about how
airplanes fly, how pilots navigate and how air traffic is managed. In all, the students are able to interact at ten
stations devoted to difference aspects of flight. During the next few months, three m.ore sites will be visited including Buena Vista in November, Lamar in December
and the near-metro area communities sunounding Front Range Airport after the first of the year. Because the
Activity Centers are staffed and supported by volunteers, compotent aviation enthusiasts who are able to spend
several hours helping children learn about flying are greatly needed in voluntary capacities. The Farrtasy of Flight
Foundation eagerly welcomes volunteers to the program, and encourages communities to support the Fantasy of
Flight Activity Centers in their own shcools.
Interested in volunteering at an Activity Center or sponsoring the Fantasy of Flight in your community? Contact

There will be no tax increase imposed to build this facil.ity. The
greens fees will be less than the Vail course.
A golf course is considered to be open space. The Par 3 course will
guarar.tee tne preservation of an open/green parcel in the Booth Creek

we need to preserve our open space and Federal Agency designated
wetlands. The east end of the parcel is a wetland, however small, and
mitigation cannot take the place of preservation. This is one of the
last remaining tracts of natural open space left in the Vael Valley.
Use as a golf course is short-sighted, restrictive and needless
destruction oi valuable and limited open space. If the course receives
a No vote, it is the intention of the Town that the parcel remain as
natural open space, and implementation of the Town's Open Lands Plan
could proceed, ir.cluding wildflower and aspen restoration.
The additional traffic will add to the existing congestion.
The size and irregular shape of this 13 acre parcel does not make it
well-suited for a golf course. It does not meet National Golf
FoLndation guidelines for a Par 3, nor meet Vail's standards for
excelier.ce.
The s_te is not large enough to design, construct, and operate a safe
and chaile^aing golf facility. The size of the land and design of the
course ocens up the possibility of damage to neighboring hcmes from
errant go1T balls. The site is unsuitable for a golf course as it is
above I-70, presenting a pctentially dangerous situation if golf balls
hit venicies. Berms wi11 not alleviate this. According to the NGF,
the typica' Par 3 player is not an experienced golfer. The likelihood
exists that serious accidents and property damage will occur resulting
i:: lawsuits agai.nst tne VRD and the Town.
There is not er.ougn eviaence that it would relieve crowding on the Vail
cclf cour se. In a 1591 survey, residents listed a Par 3 next to last in
level of spending priority; and the teens surveyed listed a Par 3 as
the=r last chc_ce, and none used the course in the past year. There are
many otheY needs t-o be addressed before another golf course is built.
The course will consume approximately 4,340,000 gallor.s of water a year at a time when there is a critical concern about our water supply.
Cumulatlive negative impacts on water resources include the ameunt of
water used, degradation by chemicals and destroyed wetlands.
Undisturbed wetlands are an essential ecosystem element. This propesal
does not advance the image of Vail as an environmental leader.

Dear Mr. P?Ici,uarin: - - -
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to submit a grant request to the State
Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund. On September 22, 1994, the Board approved
$465,000 in grants for 19 open space planning and capacity projects. The Board plans to make
up to $1.25 million in grants for land protection projects at either its October or November Boazd
meeting. Your project, Vail parce148, will be considered at that time. Someone from the GO
Colorado staff will contact you once a decision is made.
In the meantime, either I or Lise Aangeenbrug, Assistant Director for Programs, may be
calling you for further information or to conduct a site visit.
Thank you for your interest.
Sincerely,

Vail T'own Council '
Vagl, Colomdo
Dear Sirs:
ft2°0_ _ Chana tae Gn f Cmrse Ds Bduduk
k
i uuadasMcH d=1he VailTomm Comcal is cansadaatig cbmiging the Golf Course BUs
schedu.&e. Specafically, I understand 4hnt the Town C.oimcal is c,oansideing changing the scheduie sm
that the bus nans evary hourc rather than evezy balf'houx. I affi opposed to such a chaage.
I have b= visi.ft Va foz' approximatcly fh~ lase 30 yeats. One of 4he aurwtions
to Vafl fvx me is the fmt that Yail has atbemptd to sliminate the need fbr pxlvate vehicles. As a
rrisitor on vacation, it bas always been a welcome chamge to coffie to ilai[ and not have tD cvntend
with dri~ring and par~ng, I gnd~c ft Qo1f ~;o~ ~nas regularly rather than drive iatm the towna.
Hawever, if the praposed change is fmplemeutd, I vvilfl begin using a private vehzcle to get back
and forth betwreen FallYidge (when I 4AicallY staj+) and towy.
. I se~ a nwibw of problem vA4h the propased plass. F'kst, often in the past the ~'aoflf
Cfluasc bias has been actreffiely cmwded. Thus is anost often tbe case fioffi the middle of the
a#$emoon to the end ogthe sld day at the Go1dftak sbop. Of~ I hm had to caoevd onto ffie bus
with mthea rftning skias to the poine tha8 passongers am forced to stand shouldee to shaulder even
with passenngen sumd"nng on the sWn to the adts. Af the bus wmr. to rian only ons.e am hour, many
ski.ePS woufld aot be able to board the, bus. Tbcg? wou,ld Ie forced to wait ea hour far the next bus
wath no gumwdw they would 1e able to ge4 on the.next bus. An haur is en awfully lang tiffie to wait
NOV 2 194 10:37 PAGE.003
Page 2
for a bus a:fter a day of skiing. Furthermare, I can just imagine the rush to get on the bus when it
finally arrlves. .
Second, whea, visitors come to Vail, they typically lile to be as close to tiC center of
things as possible. In order to attract vis,itors to stay in rmtal plvperties near the golf course, the fact
that a. fiee &equent bus sexvice exists fvr them is a key selling feature. IIf thc bus runs only once an
hour, it wiU certainty be more difficnlt to fill th,e rantal space which exists near the golf course.
Again, visztors who do rent near the golf cotarse vvW likely end up drivi.ng into Vail in private
vehicles aad thereby add ta the congestion in the town.
Third, oiten the Golf Couzse parking lot is quite full with the private vehicles of
cxuss-cotntry skieis and sketers. Tf the Golf Cotuse bus were w aun only once an hour, I fuUY exPect
more private vehicles will bc drivcn to the clubhouse wluch will result in additional congestion.
I expeet that the proposed ehsnge is a cost-cutting measure aQd therefore offer a
numbex of possible solutions. If cut backs must be made, perhaps an houziy bus schedule is
. appropriate during off hours while the half hour schc:dule can be maiintained during Qeak periods.
Perhsps to offset the cost of the iws service a nom"r.nal charge should be Ievied against thase riding
the bns. I wauid expect tbat atry such charp would be significantly 1C3S Wan the pazkiag charge
cwrently levied against those parking in the par•ldug structura.
I mnt you will find my comments heW in your considcrwtion of this issue.
Yours very mily.

RE: Chuck Anderson Youth Award
Robin Hensler with VR,D called to inquire about the status of the Chuck Anderson Youth
Award. She had been asked to follow up based on a request from Rob who had a copy of our
follow up sheet.
She reiterated that when she spoke with Susie last February (or so!), Susie indicated because
of the lack of interest, the fact many of the young people who had known Chuck were now
grown up, the fact no monetary award is attached to this (even though its nice to receive the
acknowledgement of the award, monetary stipends are very important as well)... Susie wished
. to discontinue it.
Robin stated since it was not processed through the VRD this year it has not been budgeted
for '95; therefore, the VRD has no further interest or involvement.
Paul and Jan, what is your reaction to this?

Request for Proposals
Colorado Association of Ski Towns
Facilitator for Growth Retreat, February 9-10, 1995
The Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CASi) is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to
facilitate and plan for the February 9-10,1995 retreat on growth issues in Grand junction; Colorado.
CAST is an organization dedicated to promoting cooperation between municipalities in Colorado whose economies are affected by ski resorts. CASf s purpose is also to ensure that such
mmmunities have a voice with the state govemment. CASf has appro)amately 30 members, who
are primarily elected officials or town managers.
CASf has received a grant from the Department of Local Affairs to hold a retreat on the subject of
growth in member communities. me purpose of the retreat is to do the following:
• Recognize and prioritize the most significant impacts, challenges, and opportunities of
growth within CASf communities.
' Set goals and objectives for successfully handling such impacts, and develop policies that ,
identify methods to direct growth in ways that are economically viable, sustainable, the least
impactive, and that are compatible with community character, values and continuity.
` Answer for members and state representatives the pivotal question, as posed by Govemor
Romer during CASi's April meeting, 'How do you want to grow?"
` Develop consistency with inter-related local, regional and state policy to be prepared for and
get a positive result from the inevitable continuing growth in the state and in our resort
communities. One condition of approval for the grant is that adjacent municipalities and counties impacted by
growth in resort communities must also be invited to attend the retreat. CAST met in October and
created a preliminary list of concerns related to growth.
Scope of Work:
pre-Retreat Interviews .
The consultant will assist CASf inembers in the identification of issues pertaining to growth in their
community to be discvssed at the retreati The rnnsultant will prepare a list of questions to help the
partiapants to identify tfieir concerns, if necessary. Confidential interviews with representatives of
each CASf community should be conducted by the consultant prior to setting the final agenda for
the rereat. -The interviews maY be bY Phone.
~

Additional Themes from Round 3 of the Stakeholder Meetings
The last round of Stakeholder discussions centered on three questions:
1) What aze the most important priorities for GOCO to fund within each category and in general?
2) What are the opportunities for GOCO to encourage partnerships and leveraging?
31What are the ways (themes) in which GOCO could achieve its goal for integrating the four
categories of funding?
The major themes from the four groups include:
A. Funding Priorities - "The What"
Wildlife
I) Information about wildlije habitat. This would include the natural diversity data base, studies
of non-game species and habitat associated with those species, and inventories of wildlife habitat
and wildlife for local governments. 2) Protection of wildlife habitat. A broad definition of protection including fee title acquisitgon, easement acquisition, management agreements, options, and voluntary agreements. Particular
emphasis was placed on urgent needs. 3) Education about wildlife and wildlife habitat. Increasing public awareness about and .
appreciation for wildlife and providing technical assistance to private landowners, nonprofit
organizations, and public agencies. Parks and Outdoor Recreation
°'Laurie's 7"
1) New parks. Colorado River, Southeast, Mt. Evans.
2) Watchable Wildlife. With DOW.
3) Trails. In collaboration with local governments. 0
4) Water. For recreation and stewardship.

9 .S) Environynental educataon and araterpretataon °This would include the natural areas program.
6) Parklcrnd acquasation. RoxboPOUgh, Baxg Lake etc,
7) lysvestang ira existang pcrrk systerrY. Enhancement of system, aiatural resourcc s4ewardship.
Of the sewen rneeds identified by I,aurie Matthews, four seemed to have more urgency than the
resY: acquisition of land within or around parlcs, developmeat of nevv parks, trails, and water
acquisition. These four rated higher on the so-called °'but for GOCO" test.
O~en S ac~
1)_Zlrgent needs ecross all categories of open space land There seemed Yo be more interesY in
protecting the most threatened open space in the state, and less interest in determining priorities
within different types of open space. Depending upon the area of the state, any kiad of open
space might be the most important to protecY. The group suggested that GOCO take a long view
in their work, and therefore "threatened" might not mean imminently developed, but over 10 -20
years.
2) Develop the anformatiora needed to assess and priortize open space needs in the,future. This
suggests the need for GOCO to conduct an assessment of open space in the state.
3) Develop the capacity of'irastatueions and individuals to caccomplash GOCO's mission. T'his
includes assistiag local governments with plans for open space, increasing the expertise of local
land tivsts to carry out land conservation programs, and providing landowners and their advisors
vvith the inf'ormation they need to make conservation-based business and estate plaruung
decisions.
4) Focus on the needs of'urbcan arecrs. Although Denver's projects are well-known, there aze
other urban areas in the state that should get attention too.
T{oCal Government/Cnmmnniticc 1) Difficult to fdentify priopitfes fop local governrrients given the diversiry of needs.
2) IrwiprovemenP anrllor expansaon of locat pcar& and pecreation facalities. There remain
significant needs in local park and recreatioa faciliYies that GOCO could help in improving or expandirig.
3) CPeatang lankcrges. ~'rOCO could anake a big difference at the local level by doing that which
no indididual agency can do - create linkages between jurisdictions for pazks, open space,
vvildlife, etc.
4) Supporting plannirtg for local governments. Increasing the capacit+y of local governments to
plara for open space, parks, and wildlife vvill go a long vvay toward accomplishing Ci0C0's
,
,
~
i
mission.
S) Think big. GOCO should do big things, the impact of which will last for generations, an,d not merely accelerate things that would be done anyway.
B. Partnerships, leveraging, integration -"The How"
1) Catalyze and broaden partnerships. GOCO can play an important role in helping partnerships
to form and in broadening the cast of partners involved ia natural resource conservation ancr
management to include agriculture, development, and urban constituencies.
2) Principle-based funding. Instead of identifying the type of projects to be funded, GOCO
couId base its funding decisions on various principles partnerships, leveraging;- urgency,
degree to which the project addresses the need, assurance that funding doesn't supplant exis-ting
resources.
3) Emergency/Opportunityfund. All groups believed this to be an important mechanism for
GOCO to quickly respond to urgent needs of the state.
4) Rolling themes. This scenario would have GOCO identify a number of themes and fund each
theme on a rotating basis. That way, agencies and organizations would have an opportunity to
anticipate what kinds of projects could be funded in future years.
C. Other significaat themes.
1) Clearinghouse. GOCO could be a clearinghouse for information about natural resources,
potential partners, land conservation techniques.
2) Convenor. GOCO could serve an important role in convening various interests to help
develop multi jurisdictionaUcollaborative approaches to various natural resource issues. G01C0
could also convene an annual meeting or conference on "The State of the State" as it relates t0
our mission. 3) Communication. GOCO needs to develop an effective program to communicate about itself
and its actions. It could also reconvene the stakeholders on a periodic basis to serve various
needs. '

Dear Elizabeth:
Just a note to thank you for sending tvvo outstanding representatives from your
office, Steve Dittemeyer and F,d Ryberg, to our August rrieeting of the Colorado
Association of Ski Tovvns (CAST).
CAST is made up of the Mayor's and managers of all the ski towns in Colorado
as vvell as municipalities associated or dependent upon the resort coinmunities. I
have enclosed a list of participating megnbers.
CAST rnernbers are extremely concemed about off-site irnpacts associated wit11
ski area expansion. As rnunicipalities our hands are often tied when Forest
Service perrriits are issued prior to local inf'xastructure needs being met in
advance.
We appreciate the time Steve and Fd took to listen to our concerns and issues.
We found it to be a dery productive and educational session.
We look forward to the nevv collaborative process which was discussed and
would like to ineet evith you personally on this issue in the future.
Sincerely yours,

RE: EIAF #3046 CAST Resort Communities Planning .
Dear Councilmember Richards:
In response to your recent letter, I am pleased to award $12,500 in Energy/Mineral Impact
Assistance funds to an eligible recipient for costs associated with the facilitated two-day
roundtable meeting on growth issues that the Golorado Association of Ski Towns has proposed.
I am making this award with the understanding that a portion of the agenda will look at off-site
issues and that adjacent impacted jurisdictions, like the Lake and Garfield county areas, will be
invited to attend and participate.
Please contact Cathy Shipley at (303) 468-0295 for information on how to proceed. Since CAST
is not an eligible recipient, it will be necessary to select a municipality, county, council of
governments or other political subdivision with which we can enter into a contract. The entity
selected will not be allowed to charge any direct or indirect administrative costs to the grant. iks
you know, no state funds should be obligated before a grant contract is fully executed.
Expenditures made prior to the contract being fully executed may not be reimbursed by the stat:e.
I wish you success in your endeavor. Let us know if we can be of any assistance.

CoBoPado Association of Sid 1'owns (CAS'T) , an organization representing appro)dmately 30 resort

city managers and elected officials, people wfio understand goveenment. Bf passed, Amendment 12
would make, a mockeey ofi representative govemcnent an Colorado.
OPI paPt9CUIaP, CAS'T opposes the folloveing aspects of Annendment 12:
° lfhe abilitjr to reca91 judges and &ar thern from any futaaPe gudiciai position. Judges are not
politicians, anc9 it would be a mistake to rnake thern wlnerable to attack because of their Judicual
decisions.
° Umitations on eeasons by%%6Bch petition sigaatures could be invalidated. Petition lavvs would be
Eoosened, on effect making chailenges impossible. 6t is crucial that county and city clerks be able to
verrify signatures, ensaadng that pettitions represent the feelings of real people. Otheavrise, anyorae
coulc9 put forth a petition dvithout true comrviunity support.
° Elected officials muEd have salaries Qolled back to those of 1988. 8t as difficutt enough to get good
people to nan foP political office. Salaries for elected officials neveP Pepresent ghe tremendocas
amount of tirne they spend on the job. Thas would discourage anyone but the vvealthy to evem

Work Sessuon Bruefs
Council members present: Johnston, Lapin, Osterfoss, Shearer, Steinberg, Strauch
--TCI Franchise Discussion
The Council was briefed by Town Attorney Tom Nioorhead on the proposed schedule
for review of the TCI cable franchise renewal. The franchise is scheduled to be
discussed at the Nov. 8 work session and the Nov. 15 and Dec. 6 evening meetings.
As proposed, TCI Cablevision of the Rockies would continue to give the town up to five
percent of its gross revenues collected, within Vail to be used for general operating
support. Merv Lapin suggested consideration of reducing subscriber rates through
reduced franchise fees. Currently, two percent of those revenues are contributed by
the town to Vail Valley Community Television Channel 5 for operation of the upper
valley public access station. Any agreement for continued support for Channel 5 by the
town will be separate from the franchise agreement. A surcharge also is proposed to
create a new revenue source for community equipment grants (video equipment,
computers, etc.) to be dispersed by the Town of Vail. Residential subscribers would be
charged 50 cents per month, while hotel units would be charged 25 cents per month
- under the plan, raising aboufi $36,000 annually for community equipment requests.
There are approximafiely 4,600 residential cable customers in Vail and about 3,000
hotel units served by TCI. The cable operator has proposed a 15 year franchise
agreement which would include installation of fiber optics and other service upgrades
over the duration of the agreement. The Town of Vaif last granted a franchise
agreement to Heritage Cablevision in August of 1989. The Heritage agreement is now
held by TCI. According to TCI officials, there has been no rate increase in cable rates
since 1992. For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107.
--Vail Valley Marketing Board/Special Events/Information Services
The Council finalized the fiown's funding contribution for consolidation of marketing,
information senrices and special events to be managed by the Vail Valley Tourism &
Convention Bureau and supported by an executive committee representing 1995

funding partners (TOV, Vail Associates, Beaver Creek Resort Co.). The $764,500
Town of Vail contribution for 1995 includes retention of the $541,125 "fair share"
funding request for the Vail Valley Marketing Board; $135,000 for operation of the Vail
information centers; and $100,000 for special events (a contract held by the Vail
Recreation District in previous years). The Town of Vail is projected to spend about-
' $764,500 on collective marketing activities in 1994. The figure was $780,898 in 1993
and $740,163 in 1992. For more information, contact Frank Johnson at the Vail Valley
Tourism & Convention Bureau at 476-1000, ext. 3008.
--Eagle County Board of Commissioners
The Eagle County Commissioners joined the Council for a general discussion on future
needs and partnerships. Topics incfuded the recent agreement between the two
entities to provide winter bus service from Gypsum to Vail; future efforts to estabRish a
regional transit authority and a permanent transportation funding source; completion of
the Dowd Junction bike path; and extension of the bike path through Eagle-Vail. The
elected officials expressed interest in. resurrecting a series of regional meetings which
ended about a year ago. ,
--Golf Course Bus Service
The Council heard from a group of residents and representatives from the Vail
Recreation District (VRD) and the Vail Nordic Center regarding the town's plan to
reduce bus service on the Golf Course line for the winter season because of low
ridership during non-peak times. The group expressed disappointment in the pian,
which provided for hourly service during non-peak times, and urged the Council i:o
adjust the service to meet the needs of the area. Rob Robinson of the VRD said
continuation of the half-hour service throughout the day was critical in the districi:'s
efforts to provide alternative recreational experiences (nordic skiing, snow shoeing,
sleigh rides, ice skating, etc.) for guests. Robinson said the VRD would consider
helping the town pay for the bus service. Cost estimates will be calculated for service
. every 30 minutes from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and hourly service from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Once
the cost is determined, Town Manager Bob McLaurin will meet with the VRD to discuss
a cost-sharing plan. For more information, contact McLaurin at 479-2105.
--Council Reports
Tom Steinberg reported the Quality/Quantity Council of the Northwest Colorado
Council of Governments had received membership contributions from several water
and sanitation districts within the region, an indication the districts were beginning to
pay their fair share for services provided by the council. Peggy Osterfoss shared information about a fund-raiser for Congressman Bill
Richardson of New Mexico. Richardson was a key supporter of the $1 million
appropriation for new buses to be shared between Vail and Taos, N.M.

--Citizen Participation
Rick Sackbauer of the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District said an executive
planning document for wrater had been completed and would be distributed to the town
staff for review. He urged the Council to join the district in looking for solutions to
various water issues while saving taxpayer dollars along the way. Sackbauer also
noted that effective Nov. 1, two district bonds had been paid off: one in Intermountain,
the other in Lionshead.
Diana Donovan, a Vail resident and treasurer of the political action committee working
to defeat the Par 3 election issue, addressed the Council to clarify what she termed to
be false statements and misrepresentation by supporters of the golf course proposal.
--1995 Budget
The Council voted 6-0 on first reading to approve the 1995 budget. Action on the $29.7
million budget followed more than 50 hours of public hearings. The budget includes an
additional 2.51 full time equivalent (FTE) positions to maintain existing service levels,
including retention of a planner position created mid-year in 1994. Due to the mill levy
swap with the Vail Recreation District, property tax revenue decreases by 22.5 percent
in the town's 1995 budget. Property taxes will generate 7.3 percent of total revenues in
1995. The $541,274 property tax transfer was approved by voters last spring. As a
result, the town's mill levy wifl be reduced by 1.51 mills to 4.69 mills. Last iVovember,
Vail voters exempted the town from Amendment 1 revenue and expenditure caps. However, the property tax limitation remains a requirement of Amendment 1 in addition
to voter approval of all new taxes and tax rate increases and voter approval of new or
additional Town of Vail debt. The town's four percent sales tax, which accounts for 53
percent of the town's revenue is projected to increase 5.5 percent over 1994
collections. One percent, $128,000, of the increase is forecasted to be generated by
the town's free evening parking program. Real Estate Transfer Tax collections are
expected to produce $1.7 million for 1995; the estimate for 1994 is $2 million. The
budget will come up for approval on second reading at the iVov. 15 meeting. For more
information, contact Finance Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116, or Town IVlanager
Bob McLaurin at 479-2105.

-Assault Weapons Petition
At Merv Lapin's request, Town Clerk Holly McCutcheon presented an update on efforts
by a citizens committee to petition the Council to overturn the ordinance restricting the
sale and possession of assault weapons. Lapin said he was looking forward to
bringing the issue to a public vote and wondered if there were other issues, such as the
cemetery or marketing, which could be included on the ballot to gauge citizen consensus. Lapin encouraged citizens to sign the petition so the issue can be pLit on
the ballot.

Roy Romer
Governor
October 24, 1994
Dear Mayor:
I wanted to personally inform you that today, October 24, I signed the
enclosed executive order concerning unfunded mandates administered by
state agencies.
This order requires that state agencies consult with local governments
prior to issuance of rules that could be considered unfunded mandates:
State agencies also are required to notify the Governor's Office as to why
they believe such a rule is necessary or required.
I signed this order at the request of the Colorado chapter of the American
Council on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR), and in the spirit of
"Operation Prairie Fire" in an effort to create a true partnership between
the levels of government. As you know, ACIR membership includes local
government and state legislative leaders from both political parties.
Again, it is my hope that this executive order can be a positive tool in our
continued efforts to build good partnerships.
Sincerely,
Roy mer

Vail, Colo. 81657
_ Dear Tovvn of Vail Council Members,
On behalf of Drug Free Eagle Valley, I want to thank you for the past
support you have given to our non-profit organization.
This year because our fundraising sources will match our projected
budget, we have chosen not to request funds from the Town of Vail.
However, if in the future our morietary needs exceed projected income, we
hope we could once again approach the council for funding.
Dr,ug Free Eagle Valley continues to promote drug prevention
awareness through the annual Red Ribbon VI/eek and other prevention
programs. In addition, funds are provided for speakers and activities
which reach school children throughout the Eagle Valley, trainings for
students, teachers, parents and community members and media resources.
Counseling scholarships are also available for families battling drug or
alcohol addictions.
V1le appreciate the support we receive through the Town of Vail court
system and look fordvard to continuing a positive relationship vdith the
town. Thank you again for your past rnonetary support.
Sincerely,

DATE: October 24, 1994
SUBJECT: Eagle Mine Preliminary Air Monitoring IZesults - September 1994
(EAG 7.1.6.3)
The attached letter and table is an update regarding the Eagle 1Vline air monitoring program
during September 1994. The airborne particulate data collected by the Paramount air
monitors shown in the tables are preliminary in nature. This means that the Total
Suspended Particulate (TSP) values may be revised after auditing and validation by the air
monitoring contractor and the State. The information is useful in assessing emissions during
this time period, as well as trends in potential human exposure.
The air monitoring stations on top of the Minturn Middle School and at the North Cross
Creek station have operated on a 1-in-3 day schedule during the 1994 construction season.
The concentrations for TSP, Pb (L.ead), As (Arsenic), and Cd (Cadmium) were below the
air emissions permit levels during the month of September.
Site activities in September continue to be associated with collection and transfer of
contaminated water to the lined storage ponds. The water treatment plant continues to
treat and discharge it to the Eagle River. Sludge generated from the treatment plant is
dewatered and temporarily deposited near the historic pond area until the disposal cell is
operational.
Construction activities at the Consolidated Tailings Pile include excavation, stockpiling, and
regrading of clean soil material in the borrow area. Regrading of stockpiled tailings
westward into the historic pond has slowed because of soft wet areas. The regraded tailings
areas that have adequately settled then have the top two feet compacted, and the three
layers of the final cap are individually placed and compacted. Reclamation activities
including seeding, fertilizing, and mulching have been done over these areas. Activities for
Phase II of the sludge disposal cell have been placement of the gravel liner protection and
installation of the water transfer system.
Construction activities up the canyon in the Rock Creek/Belden areas include the
construction of improved mine seepage collection at the Tip Top adit and the mine water
recirculation system (to be used in the event of pipe cleaning or repair). These and other
construction activities will continue through the 1994 construction season.

Dear LV1
Last month you received from the IVadonal League of Cities a survey questionnaire about
school violence and a brief letter from me asking for information about what's happening in your community with regard to this problem. dVe received a tremendous response from
more than 700 cities and towns, which provided some very revealing current data about the
extent to which school violence has been occurring and becoming a duty assignment for local
police. Thank you very much for the prompt attention you gave to this request.
Our findings paint a striking picture about the additional burden that school violence has
placed upon police and public safety officials in a growing number of America's cities and
towns. The problems of school violence, and the presence of gangs as a factor in these
problems, are evident in cities of all sizes and types. A summary of our findings is enclosed
for your information. Since so many replies were provided by your police chiefs or their
departments, I hope you will share this information with them as well as your city council,
school officials and others interested in these matters in your community.
The survey findings will be released in Vdashington on Wednesday, 1Vovember 2. We will
not be identifying the individual city respondents to this survey in releasing the findings, so I
hope you will take the opportunity to speak with your local news merlia at that time about the
situation in your city or town, as well as your views on the roles of leaders and individuals
throughout the community in addressing these problems. dVe will also highlight some ideas
provided by respondents in upcoming issues of IVLC's newspaper, 1Vation's Cities Weekly.
Sincerely, v
Donald J. Borut

Recycled Paper
Survey Finds School Violence Widespread, Increasing; Police Patrol Schools in 70% of Cities; Only 11 % Report No Problem
School violence is far more than a problem afflicting only some troubled urban school systems. A 700-city survey by
the National League ot Cities found that school violence has increased significently over the past five years in nearly 40
percent of America's cities• and towns. Only 1 1~percent say it is not a problem for them. ,
One out of four communities reported incidents resulting in serious injuries or deaths in the past year alone. Forty
percent said student or neighborhood gangs were a significant fector essociated with school violence.
Nearly two-thirds of the communities included in the survey were places with populations of less than 60,000; 44
percent were suburban cities and towns.
Seventy percent said their police departments' responsibilities include petrolling schools es e violence prevention
measure. Nineteen percent said metal detectors are used regularfy as e deterrent to weapons being brought into their schools.
"School is getting rough in a dangerous wey," seid Atlanta Councilwoman Carolyn LonA Banks, NLC first vice
president. "The academic challenges ere being mede more difficult by the disturbing presence end growing feer of crime end
violence in our schools." Banks, who is in line to become NLC president in December, hes identified public sefety es e priority
issue for NLC in 1995, with an intention to focus on rethinkine treditional designs and epproaches.
Dozens of cities responding to the NLC survey included letters and other documents describing events or actions
taken. "When children attending the schools in our community do not feel sefe, then learninp cennot occur," seid the openine
sentence of a report by the Ad Hoc Task Force on School Violence in Phoenix, Ariz. "When esked on the Arizona Student
Assessment Report if they felt safe in their school, 37 percent of Arizona children responded that they did not feel sefe."
A police division commander in a central Florida city of 44,000 wrote, "The issue of crime and violence on school
grounds is a major concern." An elected official from a medium-sized suburben city in the Northwest wrote, "I live in e city
that is in a state of denial. We have no idea how much is occurring in schools. It is sorely underreported and e rnpidly
growing problem."
When asked about local trends in school violence over the past five years, 38 percent of the cities said the problem
has increased noticeably, and 45 percent said it is about the same. Only 6 percent said violence has decreased, and 11
percent said it is not a problem.
Increasing levels of school violence were reported most frequently in central cities (61 percent) and the largest cities
(55 percent). While becoming less prevalent as city size and metropolitan status changed, at least 30 percent of the cities in
all population categories and types of city (central, suburban, non-metro, rurap said school violence has increas9d significantly.
Serious injuries or deaths resulting from schoof violence also have become more widespread than four or five years
ago. Asked about incidents over the past five years in which students were killed or had to be hospitalized, 19 porcent of the
cities said such incidents had occurred'in a two-year period four and five years ago, compared to 31 percent in a two-year
period two and three years ago, and 25 percent in the past year alone.
The use of inetal detectors in schools was reported by 133 cities (19 percent). Among the cities providing
information about when their use began, more than 90 percent said the policy has been in effect for five years or less. Thirty-
eight cities (33 percent) began using them in the past year, and 29 cities (25 percent) said they have been used for two years.
Suburban cities (14 percent) and small cities (17 percent) were the only categories of respondents in which less than 20
percent reported using metal detectors.
Gang activity as a factor in school violence also was most prevalent in the largest (72 percent) and central cities (66
percent). Only among the smallest cities (27 percent) and rural cities (21 percent) was gang activity reported below the overall
average of 39 percent.
The growing level of concern about school violence has led to a significant allocation of local police resources to
address the problem. Among the 70 percent of cities where police are involved in school patrols, nearly half (47 percent) said
school patrols have been carried out for eight years or more, while just over a quarter (26 percent) said they have begun within
the past three years. A majority of the cities assign the police duties throughout the school day and include the school
buildings as well as grounds. Nearly one out of five cities (19 percent) said their schools use security personnel other than
local police, and 18 percent said their schools use other security personnel in addition to the local police.
Follow-up information received from a number of communities indicated a wide array of local responses, ranging from
monitoring safety and security in school areas to extensive assignments as resource officers inside schools. A rural town in
North Carolina with a population of less than 6,000 has assigned two of its 23 police patrol officers to full-time srhool duties,
while part of another officer's assignment involves drug education programs conducted at local schools.
In a policy dating back more than 20 years and focused on preventive strategies, a large city in the Northwest now
allocates 17 of its 200 police officers to schools. In the Midwest, a mid-sized city with 88 uniformed officers ha;> one officer
assigned full-time to school safety programs and five others who conduct drug and gang intervention programs in local
schools. Another nearby city has two of its 132 sworn officers assigned to school duties full time. Along with new
assignments and new roles for police officers in schools, cities are working with schools and other community agancies to
develop programs that address several needs of schoolchildren. An after-school program for youth aged 10-14 in Jacksonville,
Fla., includes a police officer on the team of specialists that staff each of the seven centers now in operation. An elementary
school principal wrote that two of her problem children had shown a remarkable attitude change since they began attending
the sessions. ~
A separate section of the survey asked about violence at high school athletic events. Nine out of ten cities said their
police departments regularty patrol some or all high school events, and those patrols have existed for eight years or more
among 79 percent of the cities where they are cerried out. Compared to other incidents of school violence, fewer communities
(11 percent) reported serious incidents at athletic events in the past year, and levels for previous years are comperably lower.
Nine percent of the cities said they use metal detectors at athletic events. More than helf of those policies have been
instituted within the past two years, and more than 90 percent within the past five years.
"These findings reveal a situation that has become a widespread concern not just a unique end unfortunate
characteristic of a few troubled schools or cities," said Banks. "It has become as prominent an issue as academic performance
or curriculum choices in many schools. What is also important to notice, however, is that in taking steps to prevent it, local
leaders also are finding ways to develop valuable new relationships between our cities and our schools." .

October 27, 1994 Contact: Jeff Atencio, 479-2462
Fire Inspector, Vail Fire Department
SiVdOFCE DETECTOR MAiNTEIVe4YVCE flAi41f SAVE L9VES
(Vail)--More than half of all fatal fires strike at night when people are asleep. Roughly
two-thirds of home-fire deaths are caused by inhaling smoke and the toxic fumes it
contains. A smoke detector is your first line of defense in the event of a fire in your
home.
Smoke detectors are considered to be the most effective low-cost early warning
clevice available. Nation-wide research and real-life experiences have shown that
installing smoke detectors in the home cuts your risk of dying in a home fire almost in
half. Smoke detectors alert you to deadly smoke and give you time to escape.
Place a detector in every bedroom of your home and one on every level as well.
Following the manufacturer's instructions will provide you with the appropriate information
so that your detectors are strategically placed. If you have'any questions about where
to install your smoke detectors, contact your local fire department.
With millions of smoke detectors already installed in homes across the nation, it
can be estimated that roughly one-third of these detectors are not in proper working
~more~
condition. The major reason for this is maintenance. Batteries power some types of
smoke detectors, and without the proper maintenance occupants are endangered by
creating a false sense of security.
Check your smoke detector once a month and change the battery once a year.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for testing. A great opportunity to do this is this
weekend. The end of Daylight Savings Time is upon us on October 30, so when you
change your clock back this weekend, change the batteries in your smoke detectors at
the same time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Vail Fire Department
. at 479-2250, or contact the fire department in your community.

On Oct. 30 at 7:35 p.m., the Vail Police Department dispatch center received a

The caller stated he had just delivered a pizza to a Vail resident and as he was

Vail PDlAdd 1
The victim provided the dispatcher with a description of the robbery suspect, the
vehicle and driver of the get-away vehicle. Vail officers responded immediately and
were able to obtain a detailed description of the suspects and their vehicle.
Officers from the Minturn and Avon police departments responded to Dowd
Junction and the Avon exits, looking for the suspect vehicle. A few minutes after
receiving the call, an Avon officer saw a vehicle with two occupants driving on I-
70 westbound that matched the suspect and vehicle description. Avon Police
stopped the vehicle. While waiting for backup, the suspect vehicle backed up and
rammed the Avon Police Department vehicle.
The suspects and vehicle then sped off westbound on I-70. The Avon PolicE;
Department followed the vehicle and the Eagle County Sheriff's office joined in.
The suspect vehicle drove down I-70, reaching speeds of 70 mph. The vehicle
exited I-70 at the Wolcott exit and began driving east on Highway 6. On Highway
6, the suspect vehicle was attempting to cut other vehicles off in an effort to lose
the police who were following. The suspects got back onto I-70 at Edwards and
were driving east on I-70. The vehicle sped east on I-70 until the vehicle drove
over a tac-mat which had been placed by Vail Police. The tac-mat deflated the two
front tires of the suspect vehicle. The vehicle stopped on I-70 eastbound at
approximately mile marker 177.5. The Eagle County Sheriff's Office conducted a
felony stop and safely removed the suspects from the vehicle.
The suspects were brought to the Vail Police Department and were booked into the
Vail Juvenile jail. The suspects are to appear before District Court Judge Hart at
3:00 p.m. Oct. 31.
The money and the weapon were recovered from the suspect vehicle.
Both suspects were listed as missing juveniles from the Moose Lake, Minn., I'olice
Department. The vehicle they were driving was also listed as a stolen vehicle by
the Moose Lake Police Department. -
"The Vail Police Department would like to thank the Avon Police Department, Eagle
County Sheriff's Office, Colorado State Patrol - Eagle, and the Minturn Police
Department for their help. Everyone did a great job. Any time we take a suspect
safely into custody, it is a success for the community," said Sgt. Joe Russell of the
Vail Police Department.

Dear vail Town Counci3.,
For the past se'v'en holiday seasons we ha've been sta3ring at
Fallri.dqe on the Vail Golf Caurse because of i.ts conveniPnt
transportation provided by the Town of vaia -.tt thE buses didn't
zun so fxequently we raouXd be inclined to drive and park at trie
already congested transportatiS.on centex which during the hali.dsys
is usually ful l_ The four-way stop xs alx'eady a na.qhtmarc:, but we
will add to it, al.ong wxth other Fallridge guests, to get to the
Lxonshead parking structure.
There is so much to do on the Vail Golf Cdurse cross-country
skiing, ice skating, snow skloeing, sleiqh rides, and a wondeXful
restauzant. We can't believe you would consider this cut back_ we
feel it would affect visitors wha $tay in the villaqe and V.L51tor5
who stay araund the golf couxse-
We absolutely lQve the V'ail Va].ley and sxng its praises to evexy'one
we ]cnow. We tell oux family and fxiends about the skiing, shnpplng, .
dinxng a.nd the easy access that the bus offexg_ It wauld be a
tremendaus loss ta cut baGk the buaes going to the vail Calf GouLrse
area.
We cansider Vail a home away frozn home and would spend more time
there it our jobs allow us to. Please gxve this cut back careful
consi.deration beforE you set your hudget.

serva,cee
Ihave 2 chi.ldren raha fxeque~~ly use the bus to ga to the Vi l lage e

or go to the Teen Centere
My wife works at the V'ail Medica1 Center who alsa uses the bus in
the winter vhexa th@ weather is bad. She wor)cs from 7am td 5pm_ The
bus would not be am availab].e optian if the new schedu].e gaes into

at Jpealt times e
I hape you wiould reconsider this schedula change and fiiid another

Vail T'own Council
Vail, Colorado 81657
Dear Council Members:
This is 40 object forcefully to the proposed schedule change for the town of Vail
bus schedule. We live on the goff course bus run and would find our enjoyment
ofi our property severely reduced if bus service is cut in half as proposed.
These are the reasons for our objections:
1. . It is ludicrous to encourage car transportation and parking in a recreational
environment 4ha4 is already heavily congested. There is fundamentally no parking
near the ski areas, and what parking there is would be totally overwhelmed by a
reduced bus schedule.
2. The buses are heavily loaded at peak hours on the current schedule.
Several days lasfi year, my family and I were unable to board the bus at Golden
Peak at the end of the ski day. That is a real hassle with a tired, hungry, bladder-
bloated eigh4-year-old, and reduced bus would greatly aggravate the situation.
3. We rely upon the buses as safe transportation for teenagers and young
adults in the evening. We never let our older children downtown at night vvith a
car because we suspect they vvill be enjoying the general single environment. V1le
want these young people 4o enjoy Vail and all of its social opportunities, but vve
want 4hem to enjoy them safely. In effect, a good Vail bus service functions just
the way 4he "Safe Rides" program works in our Minnesota town. The current bus
sereice runs much later than 9 PM and has enabled our young people to be
downtown. I guarantee 4his bus schedule reduction will cost downtown Vail
businesses redenue and profits.
4. !!Ne own a house in !lail and are willing to pay for if because it is a first-class
resorf by every international standard. It makes no sense to undercut this value
with petty service ctats thafi aggrava4e your taxpayers to a much greater extent
then you will gain in revenue. Let's not be penny wise and pound fioolish. Please do not alter the bus schedules on the golf course route. If anything, we
could use three bus runs per hour, not one!
Sincerely yours,
Jo I~~eth hnson Joel &Beth Johnson

A Matter of Concern ~
Subject: AMEPdDMENY TVIIELVE - WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN?

For further information: Mary L Groves, Patricia C. Tisdale, Diane S. Barret4, Lawrence L Levin - Denver Office

Amendment Twelve is an initiative which is qualified for the state ballot in
1994 and has been designated by its proponents as °Election Reform II.° It has been
developed and sponsored byYhe same persons, inciuding Douglas Bruce, who sponsored
Amendment One or TABOR, as it is often referred to
( ) passed in the 1992 election.
Amendment Twelve is as dense and complex as Amendment One and deals with a
multitude of issues. Voters should study this Amendment carefully, because fmbedded
within the Amendment are significant changes which would alter substantially the way
local government is conducted in Colorado. This letter examines two aspects of the
-f;° Amendment we believe will come close 4o converting our current system of representative
democracy to a direct democracy and will impair existing safeguards for the
z'm'c independence of Colorado judges.
~Petition Changes. Section 6(b) of the Amendment provides that the state or
a local government may adopt no more than six measures in any calendar year which are
emergencies not subject to voter referendum. Section 6(b) atso exempts from referendum
petitions appropriation measures for the suppor4 and maintenance of the local or state
4' governments. Under Amendment Twelve, all other measures considered by the state or
local government will take effect no eadier than ninety-one days after final publication. A
petition with the required number of signatures filed before the ninety-first day delays the
measure's effective date until the next election. Under TABOR, that next election may be
as long as eighteen months away. Amendment Twelve further permits valid petitions Yo be
~-~filed with signatures of only 5 percent of the number of district voters for all candidates for
secretary of state in the last election for thaY office. In many instances, this standard has
been demonstrated to be a very low number of persons necessary to require a referendum
30
election on a legislative measure.
Petition Details. Section 6(c) of the Amendment liberalizes the signa4ure
verification requirements on petitions. It provides °a person signing a petition later verrfied
. or notarized is presumed to be a registered elector whose entry is valid until disproven.
Results of any random sampling or machine-reading of entries, or of any district research
after a protest that aids such protes4, are inadmissible.. Absent a private party protest,
entries or petitions may be found invalid only if itemized within Yen days after petition filing
and only ff invalid on Yheir face.° Combined with the reduced number of signaYures
required under the Amendment for the submission of a petition, the lack of signature
verification permitted by the.Amendment represents a radical change in the pe4ition
process. Certainly, it is desirable tha4 citizen initiative rights be protected, but it is a
disservice to all to give constitutional protection to taxness in signature verification as
permitted by Amendment Twelve. . .
Recall of Judges. Section 6(a) of the Amendment permits Colorado justices
and judges to be recalied, and provides that such recall would bar the recalled individual
from holding any future judicial position. Currently Colorado judges and justices are
. appointed by elected officials and at the end of each judge's initial (and any subsequent)
term of office voters are entitled to vote on the question of whether such judge should be
retained in office. Given the liberal petition requirements discussed above, and other
provisions of the Amendment which require local governments to pay for the printing of
petitions, the recall of judges would be reduced to an expedited procedure at little financial
cost to the petitioners. The Amendment, however, provides that the judges cannot be
reimbursed from pubiic funds for their expenses in connection with defenciing the petition
for their recali. The threat of judicial recail will make judges susceptible to pressure from
parties in lawsuits who might be dissatisfied with the judges' decisions. The Amendment,
as a practical matter, will require judges to raise funds from third parties to defend recall
petitions, thus potentially compromising their independence. While many persons feel
frustration with the current judicial system, weakening the independence of judges is not a
productive way to deal with this situation.
Citizens also are experiencing much frustration with government in general
but it appears to be a step backwards, given the complexity.of our society, to give direct
control on public matters to the entire electorate. The Amendment Twelve system is
reminiscent of the method of governing in the city states in ancient Greece and has a
populist appeal, but society.has changed greatly in 2000 years. Our current framework of
representative democracy gives us the opportunity to elect individuals to represent the
interests of the group. It is a time-tested method of democracy conceived by the founders
of our country and adopted in every state of the United States. To change Colorado to a
direct democracy through Amendment Twelve will give rise to partisanship and will
eliminate the concept of finality to government action. When a final decision is made by
local government officials there will always be those who are not satisfied. Yet, we all
recognize as responsible citizens that elected officials sometimes must make decisions
with which we don't agree or which are unpopular. Judges must do the same. lf we don't
like the decisions of elected officials or judges, they can be voted out of office. We also
can initiate a referendum under current law to overturn legislative action of cities and
towns, but the signatures we obtain in support of such petition will be carefully scrutinized
for accuracy and lack of fraud. The opportuniry to second-guess legislative and judicial
decisions as provided in Amendment Twelve will make all of our dealings with local
government subject to great uncertainty and thus dramatically impact the growth and
development of Colorado.

I)ear Peggy:
Please find enclosed our most up-to-date and comprehensive documentation relating to the
. American Airlines Summer Air Program. I apologize for the delay on relaying this
information but please keep in mind the detail of the material and, unfortunately, Vail
Associates, Inc. did not receive all the data from American Airlines until earlier this month. I
believe you will discover the end results to be impressive while realizing this was an
inaugural season.
The support and commitments made by local individuals and businesses such as yourself was
the key to the overall success of the program. In order for this valley to realize the benefits
of summer flights coming into Eagle, continued support must be achieved.
After you have taken an opportunity to review the material, please feel free to contact either
Bill Tomcich (303-845-6230) or myself (303-845-5852) with any questions you may have.
We also invite you share with us your feedback with regards to the summer flights as it is
vitally important.
Again, many thanks for your support and commitment.

FINAL AMERICAN AIRLINES SUMMER FLIGHT RECORDS SHOW
PROGRAM GAINEID MOMENTUM THROUGFYOUT T'HE SEASON
VAII., Colo. October 20, 1994 The final numbers are in from last summer's American
Airlines service to VaiUEagle County Airport, and although those who pledged a.re being
asked to submit their entire pledges, an analysis of the passenger booking trends indicate
that the program gained momentum throughout the season as awareness of the flights
increased.
Right up until the last week of service, average load factors on the flights increas-ed
steadily on the flights between Dallas/Ft. Worth and VaiVEagle County Airport. The .
program was one of the Vail Valley's most successful inaugural flight programs ever with
OwnersandOpeiatorsof
Vail, Beaver Geek Resort more than half (50.6 percent) of all available seats sold during the 10-week program,
.
andAnowheodMountam w}vch concluded Sunday August7.
Despite the high load factors (percentage of seats sold) and the likelihood of continued
service next summer, Vail Associates Air Transportation Manager Bill Tomcich indicated
that, as anticipated, the community has been asked to make good on nearly all of the
guarantees that were committed to this spring.
"We should all be excited that the program was as successful as it was," said Tomcich,
"particularly in light of the fact that it was made possible by a local, grass-roots effort that
included more than 100 businesses and organizations. Now that there's some initial
awareness of summer service, though, we hope to work with the community, business
leaders and American Airlines again next summer and possibly extend the service earlier
and later in the season.

Summer Flights
"Flight guarantees are becoming more common in resort communities," Tomcich
continued, "and though we had to pay the entire $650,000 community-wide pledge to
guarantee the flights, we realize that this is money spent to generate future business.
"If you compare this flight to the first winter flight we brought to VaiVEagle County
Airport five years ago, you'd have to say this was a successful launch," added Tomcich.
"Vdhen America West Airlines introduced winter service to the Vail Valley in 1989, it
filledonly 33 percent of its seats the first season. From that humble beginning has grown
the ski industry's most comprehensive direct flight program. I think it's safe to say that
direct and non-stop summer service to the Vail Valley is indeed a viable business for the
future."
ICent Myers, senior vice president of Vail Associates, said that the current and future
success of summer service and the continued growth of winter service is a unique
marketing niche that will set the Vail Valley apart from others in future years, particularly
in light of recent cutbacks by Continental Express that have severely reduced air service
into resorts such as Aspen, Steamboat, Telluride and Gunnison.
"It's got to be clear to most resorts by now that even if you're located immediately
adjacent to a major metropolitan area, flight service that meets your needs just isn't
. guaranteed," said Myers. "Given the Current environment, no one can take air service for
granted. VVe need the continued support of this community to make this air program
successful in the future."
Invoices for guarantee pledges have been distributed to those who participated in the
program and a pledge form for next season is being developed to initiate an early funding
campaign. An announcement regarding a community-wide meeting in November will be
made in the near future.
