Caster, 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.

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.

PHQNIE: VaiCe 216-333-51699 Fax 216-333-9677 DATE: Oceobcx 28, 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. ~ .

The owner of the unit shall also provide rental rate information to confirm that the rate has been consistent with the market rate as determined in Section 18.57.020(L). F. No property containing an EHU shall exceed the maximum GRFA permitted in Title 18 except as provided in Sections 18.57.040 B4, 18.57.050 B5 or 18.57.080 B3 of this chapter. 2 G.

The Town of Vail Housing Authority will determine the market rate based on the study of other units of comparable size, location, quality and amenities throughout the Town. The market rate shall be based on an average of a minimum of five rental rates of comparable units. If the unit is not rented or is not rented at a market rate, it shall be determined to be in noncompliance. In addition to any other penalties and restrictions provided herein, a unit found to be in noncompliance shall be subject to publication as determined by the Housing Authority. (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. 3 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. Based on Eagle County Based on MFI Vail MFI Category I Very Low Income 50% of inedian family income $25,300.00 - $30,360.00 Category II Low Income 80% of inedian family income $40,480.00 $48,576.00 Category III Open Market IV. STAFF RECOMflNENDATION Staff believes the proposed changes will make the Employee Housing Ordinance more effective. Because an effective ordinance will help the Town meet its Municipal Objectives, staff recommends ~ approval. c:lpec\memos\ehu.vi 4 THE TowN oF vAsL GU9DELlNES FOR TYPE V9 ENIPLOYEE tiOIJSING l1NlTS I.

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.

The offer coincides with the 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 Friday. The premium gold pass is priced at $1,100 this season. Only 120 of the passes are available, and will be sold on a first-come first-served basis. The blue pass is priced at $500. Parking is valid any time in the Lionshead structure with restricted parking in the Village structure.

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. --PEC/DRB Reports During an update on the Planning & Environmental Commission and Design Review Board meetings, the Council suggested a review of the "250 ordinance." The provision allows an additional 250 sq. ft, to be added to properties which have been in existence for five or more years. Several council members expressed concern the provision may not be working as originally intended. The Council (more) Q . ~ TOV Highlights/Add 1 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) .;o 7 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. # # # IYadA Da/ly Vuesdab, Oc4oflrae 25,-9M - IP89e 13 ~ . OPINION.

FR: Nick Fry DA: Oct. 30, 1994 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.

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. 8incerelY, .

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.

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 ~ ~ . ! 1 f ~ 2 ( 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, / Hermann Staufer V.R.D. Board Chairman cc: James P. Collins, Esq.

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.

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.

The Vail Alpine Garden Foundation is proposing a visitor's center expansion George Ruther to the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens located in Ford Park. Since the Ford Park 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.

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. 183 GORE CREEK DRIVE VAIL, COLORADO 81657 0 303.476.0103 i . . , . . . , ~ Printetlon Recytletl Paper . , , . 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.

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, , r ? ` ~ J~` , ' ! ~ x ~ f + , ~ ~ • ~•-k < , ;i y • ~ If ~ s r ~ V - ~ ~ _ . ~i~~~~M~~~~1~~~~? ~ ~ ' S ~I . . ~ , . , ~ ,,;~-°r ~ ~i?; ' - '~,?'.d ...A* . . ~ : ~ ~ _ ` ~ i?i: S ,a , , y ' ..~K i • - ~~5 ~ ~ ~ ry~ ~x • ~ fa?~""' * ~ ; : , : . ~ ~ . .I? ~~y .~r . _ - .

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.

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. RV1/M/aw b , 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. 2 6 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). 5 ~ ~ 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. 6 ~ t Y ~ , ~ _ _ .

The origination fee shall be paid on the date of the closing of the Loan. 2.1.4 Interest shall be calculated on the unpaid principal amount of the Note on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days and paid for the actual days elapsed. 2.1.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this agreement or in any of tovmla.ins 11/8/94 ' 1 ~ the other Loan Documents, the maximum interest rate under the Loan will never exceed (i) percent or ( i i) the highest rate permitted from time to time by applicable law, whichever is less. 2.2 Collateral. 2.2.1 To secur.e performance of Borrower's obligations to Bank under the Note and this agreement, Borrower will execute the Deed of Trust and any required rider thereto, any related security agreement and financing statements, and any other document deemed necessary or desirable by Bank. The lien of the Deed of.Trust and the security agreement shall have priority over all other liens and encumbrances against the Property and any associated personal property. 2.2.2 As additional security for the Loan,. Borrower hereby grants to Bank a security interest in all deposit accounts maintained by Borrower at any subsidiary bank of FirstBank Holding Company of Colorado, Inc. 2.3 Conditions Precedent. Bank shall not be obligated to make the Loan or disburse any funds under the -Loan at any time until the following events have been performed or have occurred: 2.3.1 Borrower°s creditworthiness is deemed acceptable by Bank, and Borrower has satisfied Bank's internal credit analysis. 2.3.2 The Town has certified to Bank that Borrower is deemed eligible under the Program._ . 2.3.3 Borrower has satisfied all the requirements of any previous mortgage loan commitment for the Property issued to Borrower by Bank. 2.3.4 The Property has been appraised in an amount deemed adequate by Bank. tovmla.ins 11/8/94 2 ~ 2.3.5 An improvement location certificate or other suitable survey concerning the Property has been received and approved by Bank. 2.3.6 Borrower has obtained insurance for the Property in the coverages and amounts required by Bank. 2.3.7 The seller of the Property and Borrower have completed and delivered a satisfactory mechanic°s lien affidavit to Bank relating to recent repairs or improvements upon the Property. 2.3.8 A title insurance company acceptable to Bank must have issued, at the expense of Borrower, a commitment for an ALTA lender's extended coverage policy of title insurance in an amount and form satisfactory to Bank subject only to , exceptions approved by Bank in writing, together with any endorsements required by Bank. 2.3.9 Bank has received a certificate of taxes with respect to the Property which shows no past due taxes or special assessments. 2.3.10 If the Property is a condominium unit or is otherwise part of a common interest ownership association, Borrower has obtained a certificate which is acceptable to Bank or the title company which shows the amount o.f any regular or special assessment which is due, and Bank-has determined that such amount will be paid at closing from a source other than the proceeds of the Loan. 2.3.11 Borrower has obtained and delivered to Bank any requested certificate of occupancy or any other requested certifications relating to the Property. 2.3.12 Bank has determined to its satisfaction that the Property is in compliance with all zoning and building code ordinances and regulations of the Town. tovmla.ins 11/8/94 3 ~ _ 2.3,13 Borrower has submitted evidence that the Property is not in a flood or other hazard area which is deemed unacceptable to Banko tovmla.ins 11/8/94 4 ~ 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. tovmla.ins 11/8/94 5 e 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. tovmla.ins 11/8/94 6 •i d OU~~INE 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. 13. Miscellaneous. 3 ~ 0 THE TOWN OF VA9~ GU8DEL6NES FOR TYPE VO EMPLOYEE HOUSIIVG UN6TS ~ 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.

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.

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.

Summarv of Written Comments For the Proposals: 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 neigrbcrnood. It will provide an area, that is currently unusable, for w-inter activities such as snowshoeing, cross country skiing and sledding. f r 0 A manicured course in this location would be more attractive than the weeds.

Spending $2.6 million on a Par 3 Pitch-and-Putt course is not f' responsible when it is projected to lose money for ten years and wi require additional revenues for debt service and daily o era . 1scally estimates appear extremel low. will as solut~ Y Construction costs are u ndere timatedt n°=Gnbor.no d c n ernsaarecnot congestion,. geologic hazards, safety and There already exists a Par 3 one-third capacit course 15 minutes away that operates at olf border a 15 mile st etch of the U courses, plus the Par 3 course, currentl pper Eagle Valley. Neglected needs in , , . Vail are pa=ks, walking and snowshoeing trails and easily accessible , areas of natural beauty and peace.No community surveys or studies have documented a need or desire for a Par 3. 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. , I, Sara J.

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. 1J.u.~ / ' Paul D.

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.

' Rmrcd m rtcydid WPn ~i ~ October 28,1994 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. ~ ~The RetreaY T'he consuPtarat vAlI be responsable for creating the agenda, providing appropriate materials to participants and the actual facilitation of the retreat. Qua6ificatoons: Qualified consultants must have excellent rrieeting facilitation sBcills and experience in vvorking vvith 9ocal godePnmeng.

What do you like best about your community or area? What characteiistics need to be retained? 2. What are characteristics of positive growth? 3. What are the problem areas? 4. What strategies are needed to encourage or maintain positive growth? What current practices need to change? 1. What do you like best about your commurnity or area?

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.

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.

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. ~ ~ _ _ .

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 (more) y0. . Council Highlights/Add 1 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.

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.

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. ~ Eagle 1Vline Air 1Vlonitoring October 24, 1994 2 For additional information, please contact Dick Parachini (692-3396), Doug Ikenberry (827- 5928), or lYiarion Galant (692-3304).

Borul 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.

Williams, Mayor, Franklin Park, Illinois 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." . i~ ~ ' NLC School Violence Surdey by City Characterasgic Central city Suburban city Pion-metro city Rural city N=700 P1=309 W=119 N=165 Pct.

Vail Fire Department Vail, Colorado 81657 . 303-479-2150 FOR WMEDIATE RELEASE 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. 30-- This information is provided by the Vail Fire Department and N.F.P.A.

Suspect @/eh6cle: Older model Dodge Dart 4-door white top, black body. Syruopsas off Eveov4s: On Oct. 30 at 7:35 p.m., the Vail Police Department dispatch center received a "91 1" phone call from an individual stating he had been robbed at gun point. The caller stated he had just delivered a pizza to a Vail resident and as he was walking back to his vehicle, he was approached by a male with a gun who demanded all his money. The delivery person handed the suspect an undisclosed amount of cash and the robbery suspect fled in an older model Dodge Dart. (more) ~ 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.

Fax - 303-476-2684 November 1, 1994 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 1527 Vail !lalley Dride 301 22nd Street SV1! Unit A Austin, MN 55912 Vail, CO ~:~~(~I'a ~.s.r . :~e~=? . A Matter of Concern ~ Subject: AMEPdDMENY TVIIELVE - WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN? Date: OcYober 31, 9994 For further information: Mary L Groves, Patricia C. Tisdale, Diane S. Barret4, Lawrence L Levin - Denver Office (303) 869 •7000 . 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. -2- ~ P ~VaiL ~6 .

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.

Ross Palmer (303) 845-5721 Paul Witt (303) 845-5720 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. ~ -more= lua9lCORLQ ALPISF :Ki cttaWioMHir` i':U L i BEAVER CREEA o PPO Box 7• Vail, Colorado • 81658 • phone 303 845 5723 • fax 303 845 5728 6~ ~ ~ .s 2-2-2 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. -30- QNaile Vail Associates, Imc.
