Assistant Town Manager
Town of Vail

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Pam,
Seasons greetings from Mazriott's Vail Mountain Resort! Needless to say, we aze
tremendously excited to be back in the Vail Valley and look forward to developing a positive
long term relationship with the Town of Vail.
Pam, it is with great anticipation that I submit rny name for consideration for the Vail Valley
lYlarketing Board. As the Director of Mazketing for Vail's largest hotel with the greatest
meeting capacity, the inherent implications are readily apparent. I am confident that a new
set of eyes and a fresh perspective can only benefit the strategic initiatives the fiRarketing
Board will implement in the coming year. With that end in rnind, please allow me to give
you some insight on my background.
Over the course of the last twelve years I have held various sales positions within the
hotel/resort industry. For the first three years of my hospitality career, I was employed by the
Walt Disney World Company in Orlando, Florida. While completing the final year of my
undergraduate studies, I was employed in the capacity of Bell Captain at the Buena Vista
Palace Hotel. Upon graduation and three subsequent promotions, I entered into the world of
hotel sales. As a Tour and Travel Sales Manager, my areas of responsibilities included both
the international and wholesale markets.
In Jariuary of 1986 my tenure with Marriott began. Over the course of the last nine years, I
have worked in various sales capacities at the following hotels: l. 1VTarriott's Orlando World Center
Sales liRanager. 5 diamond, 1500 room hotel in Orlando, Florida, with over 150,000
square feet in meeting space. Primary sales responsibilities included national
association with emphasis on the medical meetings market.
2. Marriott's Hazbor Beach Resort
.
Senior Sa1es 1Vlanager. 5 star/5 diamond 650 room resort property, located in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. Market responsibilities included insurance, medical meetings and
international corporate.
Ms. Pam Brandmyer
Town of Vail

3. St. Louis Marriott
Director of Sales, 650 room property with annual sales performance of $8 million
annually. Responsible for a staff of ten. In 1989, I was named Director of Sales of
the Year for the Marriott Corporation.
4. Denver Marriott West/Denver - Area Reservations Center
From February of 1990 until my recent promotion in Vail, I acted as Director of
Marketing for the Denver Marriott West, as well as the Strategic Revenue Analyst for
all Denver Marriott products.. This azea Reservation Center was the prototype far our
entire Company and after its implementation in 1992, I acted as a task force member
of the development of similaz offices in Dallas, San Francisco, Chicago and Fort
.
Lauderdale. In addition to facilitating over $22 million in annual sales, other
programs initiated through the Reservations Center included full time telemarketing
(generating over $200,000 in sales annually), as well as extensive database outbound
reservations marketing program.
Pam, it is rny firm desire to become fully entrenched in the dynamics of the marketing role
with Mamott, but I'd also hope to be a primary contributor to the compreherisive Vail Valley
marketing effort, as well. In my estimation, a Vail Valley Mazketing Board seat presents the
precise vehicle in which I can fully utilize my energy and talents. It is my sincere hope that
you will give consideration to further discussion beyond this correspondence.
Please consider me at your service at 479 6996. I look forward to speaking with you in the
near future.
Sincerely,
~

Dear Pam,
I am interested in senring on the Vail Valley Marketing Board. Although I am not
certain wrhat consti4ufies a"letfer of qualification", perhaps a rundovNn of my .
currenQ and former positions and responsibilities vvill fit the bill.
I am currenfly Presidenf and co-ovvner of TIGA Advertising Inc_ Our company
has the advertising contract for the Town of Vail buses as well. as AvonlBeaver
Creek Transi4, Brecacenridge and VVinter Park bus systems, and the Vail and
Gunnison airports. Additionally we place adverfising in ski areas throughout the _
rrvest. P'residenf, while sounding grand, also implies salesman, customer service
director, ad installer and chief cook and bottle washer. I am responsible, in
essence, for selling Qhe ads {we had a great year} overseeing ad production, anci
getting the ads up. I have made sales calls on many businesses and maintain
customer relationships wifh over 100 current customers.
Prior to August ofi this year, I vvas Vl/esfern Regional Nlarketing Direcfor for LaSalle ParQners, an institutional real estate company. Over my nine year
tenure vvifih LaSaBle ParQners, I managed high rise office buildings, brought
projects on line, and most importantly, oversaw the marketing and leasing of
over 6 million square feet of the company's inventory. Significantly, this involVed
posifioning producf in some of the worsf commercial real estate markets in the
counfry, including Denver in the late 1980's, Minneapolis in the early 1990's as
well as Phoenix and LosAngeles. I also did a brief stint as a MarkeQ Manager for
the company's refail group. As such, I was responsible for leasing shopping
malls and maintaining relationships with national retailers (such as The Limited
and The Gap)_
I did well at LaSalle Partners in part because I was able to develop effective
strategies to market our product under extremely competitive conditions. I
trained and led teams which very successfully executed those plans. I also had
to get client "buy in" to our strategies prior to implementation. . Inevitably I had to
maintain positive relationships with several different constituencies in almost
everything I did. -
Developing our marketing plans involved everything from product analysis
(harder than it sounds on a one million square foofi office building), market
analysis, competitive analyses, product position, collateral program, time lanes
and budgets that ran into the high six figures.
Prior to my tenure with LaSalle Partners I practiced law in St. -Paul, Minnesota.
My educational background includes a BA from Colorado College and a JD Cum
Laude from the University of Minnesota.
. On the personal side, my wife Chris works for Vail Associates this winter, and my
two daughters Molly, age 3 and Bridget, age 2 attend day care here.in the
Valley. We moved into our West Vail home full time in August. We also.owned
a conda in Intermountain between YUlay of 1990 and April of this year. We spent
over 100 days a year in Vail during that period, which included almost every
summer weekend. During two of those years, I was on my Condominium
Association Board with Jan Strauch:

Deaz Pam,
As Director of Marketing of the Bravo! Colorado 1Vlusic Festival and a third year resident of the Vail
Valley, I am very interested in the mazketing of the Valley as a year-round travel destination. The ski resorts of
the Valley, as we all know, have become very successful winter destinations. However, for ow economy to
remain healthy and to grow, the shoulder and summer seasons must become more profitable. I strongly believe
that this is an attainable community wide goal of that the Vail Valley Marketing Board has helped to and can
continue to accomplish. Given my experience and enthusiasm I]rnow that I would be an informed and cooperative
participant if nominated to the Vail Valley Marketing Board.
As the Director of Mazketing of the Bravo! Colorado Music Festival, I've gained significant experience
regazding the need and "know how" of summer marketing. I am equally confident that my previous experience
as a salesperson at a Vail ski shop and clothing store reinforces my understanding of attracting vacationers and
groups to the Valley in the summer season. I do remember some days in which these shops expected and
experienced a zero dollar income at the end of the day and were forced to lay off many hardworking locals. In
tliis case, both the shop owner and the worker suffer from lost income. Workers with no other option often move
away because of limited employment opportunities and high rent and do not return. Many businesses that only
remain profitable during winter are forced to be understaffed and many times fold from the unstable seasonal
economy.
The bright side to all of this is that there is a wide window of opportunity here because the Vail Valley
summer experience is absolutely glorious. This Valley has even more activities and events during the non-winter
seasons. Yes, skiing is fun and very profitable...but the Vail Valley summer with its magnificent flora, music,
dance and activities is uplifting, and can be extremely profitable as well.
0
These are not new revelations as can be documented by the many organizations who have come together
to support the Vail Valley Marketing Board, however, my input and hard work on this Boazd may help to bring
more people to the Valley to experience the extraordinary summer season.
I look fonvard to meeting with you on Wednesday, January 3. I can be reached at home (476-8795) or
at work (476-0206).
Sincerely,
~

Subject: Vail Valley 1V8arketing 1Board g2epresentative from 'E'awn of Vail
I would like to interview with the Vail 'Q'own C'ouncil for consideration to be appointed
to the subject Board. This is an activity that is of great interest to me and B believe that
I possess the skills, background and talents to make many significant contributions to
not only the programs of the lBoard, but equally important to the Town of Vail and the
entire valley.
"Q'o the Board. I would bring experiences in these areas:
- Marketing in the international arena as well as throughout the United States. E9aving
visited and participated in many of the resorts of these areas, I have an appreciation and
basic knowledge of what the guest or visitor desires and how that relates to our valley.
-Five years of observing, participating and attending many of the sessions of the
various groups that are addressing the marketing and promotion of our region. Also,
attending, discussing and observing the actions of the Vail Town Council.
- Many years of developing and implementing numerous programs to prepare long
range strategic and growth.plans. .
As the Board has received additional funding and there are many subjects/issues that.
are important to the entire valley, there is a real need to evaluate the priorities of the
group and how it will really make the contributions to achieve the greatest'return on
the invested dollar'. Also, there are many who believe that it is important that the
membership of the Board be broadened beyond those who are directly associated with
the'local hospitality business'.
IDuring the interview with the Vail Town Council, 9 would appreciate heariog from the
members as to what their priorities are for the Board. Additionally, it would be helpful
if they could communicate to me a brief summary as to how E could contribute to
achieving what they - the Coancil - desire to have happen.

multi-media accounts. Currently, I am an attorney practicing general civil law witb my
primary office in Avon. If you would like a copy of my resume, please let me know and
I will be happy to provide it to you. .
I a.m extremely interested in getting involved in the marketing of the community. I look
forward to discussing this opportunity with you in the near future.

The Jimmie Heuga Center and run the Ski Express, a series of benefit ski

promotional background would be an asset to the marketing board.
My husband; George Black, attended several marketing board meetings last

Dear Ms. Brandmeyer:
Pursuant to our phone conversation yesterday, I am pleased to formally notify the Vail
Town Council of my interest in serving on the Vail Valley Marketing Board. I understand
that its mission is to plan and manage a marketing program designed to enhance the Val-
ley's image as a summer tourism destination.
My wife and I moved to Vail from Northern Virginia a year ago. Skiing brought us to Vail
two or three times a year for ten years before we decided to make this our permanent home.
The past summer was a wonderful surprise for us. IVeighbors and friends had told us that
everyone comes for the skiing and stays for the summers, but we were not prepared for the
combination of delightful weather and the range of activities available to us. We have al-
ready become active in the Betty Ford Highland Gardens Foundation, the Vail Valley Arts
Council, and Bravo Colorado. Although I still conduct an active 1Vorth American economic
development consulting practice, becoming what Phil Burgess of the Center for the New
West calls a"lone eagle", I have reduced my travel schedule so that I can spend more time
enjoying out new home and community. I would like to give something back as pal-tial
payment for what the Vail Valley is giving us. The Marketing Board is a way of doing so.
The attached one-page resume summarizes my professional background and experience. As
an economic development consultant, I work with communities, states, and provinces
across North America in the preparation of strategies to expand area economies, thereby
creating more and better job opportunities, building a bigger tax base, and generating more
customers for business establishments within these local economies. The hospitality
industry is one of many sectors included in these strategies. For some communities, it is a
minor component of an economic development strategy that focuses on attracting more
manufacturing, distribution, and producer services activities. For others, such as Charles-
ton (SC) and 1Vashville (TN), tourism and professional meetings and conventions are a
major component of the local economy. If this background and experience could be useful
to the Vail Valley Marketing Board, I would be glad to serve.
Sincerely,
M. oss yle

RE: Application for Position on Vail Vallev MarYeting Board
Dear Council Members; Iam interested in and enthused about becoming amember of the Vail
Valley Marketing Board. I am very "pro-Vail." I have written two books
. since my arrival in Vail almast 5 years ago. One is 6111,0,FT0 PAA AJI%!)
BSA bEPCRF.H1, which is now the exclusively liscensed guide for Vail
Associates. The other is LETS GC)~A-7lNl~ dV7Tf~A ~~U'CffIATRl.4°T. This book
is a learning guide to sensational skiing which integrates mental and
technical skills. Both books are published by VAIL PRESS. Both books are
currently sold through retail outlets and have a national wholesale
distribution systeIIn in place. Both are ezcellent marketing vehicles for the
Vail dalley and its major sport activity. It is possible both books will
become videos during 1995.
I also practice psychiatry. During my twenty years of psyclliatric
practice in Boulder and Denver, Iwas involved with the formation of a
hospital, Boulder Psychiatric Institute, and as Medical Director with a couple
different Eating Disorder Programs. These projects involved Ynarketing over
and above the usual marketing practice for psysicians of placing a listing in
the Yellow Pages. Mv other major activities include skiing, art, and architecture. I am
52 years old and single. My 23 year old son has lived abroad for most of the
past three years. My 9 year old daughter lives in Boulder dtaring the week
days. Therefore, I have a flezible schedule which could easily accomodate
weekly uaeetings early on Thursday mornings.
My education includes two degrees froan Uartmouth (A.B. and B,M.S..)
plus two degrees fcom Harvard (M.D. and Psychatric Residencv). I alsa have
a Masters Degree in Architecture fcom the University of Culorado. With aay
graduation from Dartmouth I was awarded Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta
KaPpa, and High Distinction.
Although I do not have a business degree of any sort, I feel I have a
natural marketing personality. Others agree. I work part-time for Vai!
Associates in an on-mountain Survey-Research position providing me with
significant information about guests and their attitudes. I also write a
seasonal weekly column fdr the Vail Daily in which I describe one Ski Center
at a time. The Ski Center concept with diagramatic maps to enhance
cognitive learning is my own idea.
I do hope to be chosen for a Marketing Board position. I will continue
to work diligently towards the objective of providing high quality
positive/truthful marketing whether or'not I am chosen for a position. With
a Marketing Board position I forsee additional leverage in developing and
communicating concepts for the entire Vail Valley.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Respectfully,
~

TOWN OF VAIL t

Vail, CO 81657
RE: VAIL VALLEY MARKETING BOARD
Dear Members of the Town Council:
Last January I was appointed by this Council as a TOWN OF VAIL Representative to the Vail Valley Marketing Board
for 1994. It is my wish to continue serving for a second term with the VVMB.
With 12 years experience in the field of hospitality marketing, sales and public relations, my daily work keeps me
completely in touch with the latest trends and opportunities in this field. Most importantly, I thoroughly enjoy my time
participating in the VVMB effort to grow our year-round economy through an increase in summer tourism.
Although I was officially appointed as a Board Member with the VVMB only one year ago, I have been participating in
the Marketing Board decision making process for the past four years. I have served on various committees,
compieted numerous projects, and regularly participated in the meetings before being appointed as a Board Member.
I feel some of my most important contributions to the Valley's summer marketing efforts have been this past year. In
addition to the accomplishments of the Board as a whole, there are a few of my pet projects I am proud of this year...
* Spearheading the valley wide, cooperative FRONT RANGE CAIVIPAiGIV that resulted in more
advertising space than ever before in the front range newspapers at less cost to local advertisers and
a savings to our budget of over $10,000.00.
" Creating our first "In House", VAIL VALLEY SUfVinAER VACATION GUIDE with Greg Wright and
Kate Collins. Research shows this fulfillment piece to be very educational and effective.
* Increasing participation on the GROUP SALES COfVifViITT'EE to include more hotel sales people who
had not been previously invofved.
* Organizing PUBLIC COfUifViUNITY MEETINGS to give local business people the opportunity to be
informed on how the Marketing Board was spending their business license fees.
I want to continue my involvement with these and other projects as a Board Member. It is important to invite and
involve more interested business people in this process who do not sit as full time Board Members on the VVMB.
I look forward to spending the time necessary to answer questions from new participants about why we decided to
spend dollars in certain areas in the past and how our focus has changed over the years. It is important to
understand and communicate the reasons behind the shifts in funding, spending and organization as we move
towards a sustainable funding mechanism for a growing, cooperative marketing effort.
Like you, I feel it is important for this group to have some new faces around the table on Thursday mornings; I also
feel it is important to maintain our continuity with at least one person from Vail who has been on the Board in this
important transitional year. With this in mind, I petition the Town Council to appoint me as a TOWN OF VAIL
representative to the VVMB for a second term.
I look forward to seeing you at the interviews on Tuesday, January 3, 1995 at 2:00 PM. If you have any questions,
please don't hesitate to call me at work, 476-0700; or at home, 926-5660.

biAEMORANDUAfV
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: January 3, 1995
SUBJECT: Wendy's Highway Information Sign Request. Applicant: Gene Merdian Jr., Marketing Manager of UVendy's, Colorado
Partnership, Dillon, Colorado
Planner: Randy Stouder
L DESCRIPMN OF THE REQflJEST
Gene Merdian, represen4ing iNendy's, is requesting Cotancil endorsernent of their
proposal 4o instaU a highway information sign on 8-70, approximately 9.5 rniles west of
qhe Towet o4 !laa0 boundary in Dodud Junction. The basis for the applicant's request is that
the Wendy's at the West Vail Interchange is financially under-performing. The sign would
notify eastbound I-70 travelers of Wendy's location at the VVest Vail Interchange. When
approaching Town from the west, the restaurant is not visible until you are on the off-ramp for
the 1lVest Vail exit. The proposed sign would be the standard interstate highway information sign for food service
businesses, and would be located outside the Town limits in Dowd Junction. It would be 10
feet by 13 feet (130 square feet) and would display a 3 feet by 5 feet Wendy's logo. An
additional sign would be placed on the 1lVest Vail off-ramp indicating the direction in which one
must go to get to the restaurant. This sign would be one-quarter of the size of the main sign
on I-70 (approximately 33 square feet). Both signs would be the standard blue background with white letters and would contain Wendy's corporate logo. Both signs could accommodate
up to three additional restaurant logos.
Requests for highway information signs are regulated by the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT). In the past, CDOT has denied commercial sign requests when the
Town and Eagle County have opposed the request.
UV. BACKGROUND
CDOT has processed four other formal requests for commercial highway signs:
1. Holiday Inn - 1984;
2. Lionsquare Lodge - 1987;
3. Kettle Restaurant - 1987; and,
4. McDonalds Restaurant - 1987.
In all of these cases, the Towrn refused to support the request for a highway sign and the
,
Eagle County Commissioners supported the Towrn s position. As a result, CDOT denied the
requests.
M. STAFF RECOflAMENDR?TBON
Staff recommends that the Town Council deny the applicant's request for a commercial
information sign at Dowd Junction. Staff bases its recommendation on the following
information:
-Chapter 16.26 of the Town's Sign Code prohibits off premises advertising signs. All
signs must be totally contained on the property on which the use is located. Staff
understands that technically, the sign would be located in the CDOT right-of-way, but
believes that the appearance of off-site advertising compromises the Town's efforts to
consistently enforce the Sign Code.
-Approving 1lVendy's request could lead to additional I-70 signage requests (i.e.
Texaco, Phillips 66, McDonalds, Marriott, VVest Vail Lodge, etc.). In addition to signs
for restaurants, CDOT will allow signs for gas stations and lodges. If the Town
approved a sign for Wendy's, it would be difficult to restrict or deny sign requests from
other businesses. This could eventually produce three I-70 informational signs prior to
each exit ramp (one sign for food, one for gas and one for lodging), and three
directional signs on each ramp. Thus, with six exit ramps in the Town, we could
potentially have thirty-six highway signs with up to four commercial logos on each sign
(gas signs can have up to six advertiser's logos). Staff feels that this amount of
signage is excessive and detracts from the natural beauty of Vail.
-A highway information sign currently exists on I-70 eastbound prior to the West Vail
exit that announces the fact that gas, food and lodging are all available at West Vail.
Council's denial of previous sign requests has resulted in a marked difference in highway
appearance between Vail and other nearby mountain resort communit+es. Driving to Avon or
Silverthorne, one quickly notices a plethora of commercial signs. The I-70 corridor through
Vail is pleasantly devoid of, commercial signs.
Staff will convey the Council's decision on this matter to the Eagle County Commissioners.

"The Town of Vail fully supports and encourages Vail Associate's conceptual idea
of redeveloping Golden Peak as a mountain portal. The redevelopment presents
an opportunity to unprove the circulation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
which will be beneficial to the community. The joint effort of the Town and Vail
Associates will facilitate achieving the goals presented in the Streetscape Master
Plan and Transportation Master Plan."
Peggy Osterfoss has advised me that she will be in town and available to meet on December
22 or 23 if that would be advantageous.
Please call me with any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

V. TOV Allocations of Lift Tax Revenue.
TOV and VA aclmowledge that future transportation needs are substantisl and can be only
partially aatisfied through lift tax revenues. Accordiz*y, other Local, state, and fedeTal revenues
wili be required to supplement lift tax revenuea.
Cunently, lift tax revenues have primarily been used to fund tle TpV bus system. TOV and VA
agree that if the crcation af additional lift tax revenues allow lift tax revenues to exceed in any
given year the costs associated with TOV's winter bus services (or offier revenues through graYlts
or non-VA revenue sources become available), gttch supplematal revenues will be available for
usc by TOV for other priority wintcr transportation nccds. $y doing so, TOV 'vvill help to
effectuaie the purposes of tbis Agreement and will make steady progress toward providing a
superior transportation/circutation syatom for Vail'B wintertame guests, With_ the advent of
anticipated annual skier visitation growth, increm:ental revenues should aIso become available to
address these important priorities.
As a result of the past ei,ghteen montJas of discussions concerning growth management, TOV and
VA anticipate that same of the exanpleg af the moat pressing current transportatian and
circulation needs include, but are not limited to: completion of the roundabout at the 4-way stap;
construction of the roundabout in West Vail; development of a walkway and shuttle bus service
from the public parking st,ructure to Golden Peak and a walkway from the Vista Bahn to Chair
6; dcvelopment of appropziate park and ride sites; expansien of regianal bus service; expansion
of slder drop-off lncations at the Westin, Vista Bahn, Cmiden Peak, and Lionshead.
Tho Asscssment Committr,e (Section VI, B) will periodically updato its transportation assessments
in light of the purposes of the A.greement, and make recommeudations fflr priority transportation
projects aud allocations of incremental iift tax revenues.
While the final decisions regarding the expendinue of #'imds rest with TOV, VA's input sad the -
objectives af this Agreement will be given careful consideration.

January 3, 1994
T0: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
RE: TRUCK STOP BUILT BY COLORADO DEPT OF TRANSPORTATION. EAST BOUND
I-70, WEST OF THE EAST VAIL EXIT.
I am here to day to request the TOWN OF VAIL'S support in
communicating to the Colorado Department of transportation (C-DOT)
that the extra lane which they created this past summer on I-70 to
be used for truck parking and chaining when the chain law is in
effect on Vail pass or the pass is closed has created a hazard to
residents. We wish for it to be removed, the road narrowed, and the
road side restored back to natural vegetation.
CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN LANE IS USED:
1. SEVERE SNOW STORM, VAIL PASS CLOSED OR CHAIN LAW IN EFFECT
2. USUALLY OCCURS IN THE EVENING OR WITH TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
- EXPERIENCE TO DATE:
1. TRUCKS PARK FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME
A. WHILE THEY CHAIN UP APPROXIMATELY 1 HR.
B. IF THEY DO NOT HAVE CHAINS OR WISH TO REST THEY PARK FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME (UP TO SEVEN HOURS).
2. ENGINES ARE LEFT IDLING WHILE PARKED IN ALL CASES.
3. AT ONE POINT WE HAD EIGHT TRUCKS BEHIND OUR HOUSE WITHIN VIEW
OF OUR BACK WINDOW (THEY DOUBLE PARKED). I BELIEVE THE TOTAL COUNT
AT ONE TIME HAS BEEN 27 SEMI TRUCKS PARKED IN THE PULL-OFF.
4. PUBLIC EXPOSURE AS THEY URINATE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (THIS
SIGHT HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED BY SEVERAL HOME OWNERS TO DATE).
5. TRUCKERS HAVE CROSSED THE FENCE AND REQUESTED USE OF THE
TELEPHONE.
6. TRUCKERS CONGREGATE AT ONE TRUCK AND TALK. ROADSIDE
CONVERSATION CAN OFTEN BE HEAPD AT OUR HOMES.
7. TRUCKERS PEER FROM THEIR CABS INTO OUR UPSTAIRS BEDROOM
WINDOWS. FROM THE ROADSIDE, THE TRUCKERS PEER DIRECTLY INTO OUR
HOMES.
RAMIFICATIONS TO DATE OF TRUCKS PARKING IN PULL OF LANE:
1} PUBLIC HEALTH
AIR QUALITY AND POLLUTION a) increase in total hydro carbons in the air
b) aromatic hydro carbons in the air
c) carbon monoxide
d) exhaust particles in the air
e) smell
d) physical oil coating on surfaces inside and outside
SANITATION
a). accumulation of carbon particles and other exhaust
particulates in our lungs, skin, furniture, clothing
homes, cars and total living environment.
b) heath issue as well as public exposure from occupants
urinating on the road side.
NOISE POLLUTION
a) sleep deprivation - several area residents have
reported they move out of their bedrooms and retire to
the basement to escape the truck noise.
b} constant interruption of quiet enjoyment of one's
domicile.
c) offensive and/or loud language; loud.no'ises
i. Engine idling;
ii. Engine revving;
iii. Air horns blasting as trucks arrive, depart or
communicate with each other;
d) increased noise due to the resonating effect of the
20' strip of asphalt.
VISUAL POLLUTION
a) blinking lights, spot lights, flash lights shining
into homes at all hours of the day & night
b) this activity is quite disruptive to sleep
2) SAFETY
ACCESS TO HOME - PERSONAL SAFETY AND PRIVACY INVADED
a) unrestricted access and control to homes
b) increased possibility of vehicles traveling off the
embankment into our yards and homes due directly to the
additional activity on roadside.
3) LOCATION AND VISUAL EFFECTS
WHEN DID THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ESTABLISH
A PRECEDENT OF PLACING TRUCKS STOPS IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS?
SEMIS, COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL VEHICLES L'SE THE LANE FOR
MECHANICAL WORK, IN ADDITION TO INSTALLING CHAINS.
VIEW CORRIDORS ARE BLOCKED
PARTICULATE POLLUTION ON INTEFIOR WALLS OF HOMES, CLOTHES
CARS, YARDS AND ENTIRE AREA
OILY COATING ON ALL SURFACES, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
BLINKING LIGHTS, SPOT & FLASH LIGHTS AT ALL HOURS
4) REAL ESTATE VALUES
SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE ID4PACT ON PROPERTY VALUES OF ALL
RESIDENCES IN THE BOOTH FALLS AREA.
CONTACTS MADE TO DATE:
1) GOVERNOR'S OFFICE:KAREN BRADSHAW, C-DOT advocate
representative for the governor
JOHN LOVE, governor',s advocate office
2) COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPOFTATION:
ED HILL, C-DOT foreman in Eagle, CO
JIM HALL, Regional supervisor
3) COLORADO HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: JACK TAI'LOR
4) STATE AIR QUALITY DIVISION:
5) FEGIONAL AIR QUALITY CONTROL
6) AIR QUALITY CONTROL, Bill Hague
7) EAGLE COUNTY COMMISSIONER
" 8) CHEMISTRY & INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE, INC.: .
Caoimhin Queeving & Jim Denison,
Industrial Hygienist
9) IBM: Brad Brooks, Chief International
Toxicologist-IBM
10) COLORADO STATE PATROL
11) VAIL POLICE DEPAFTMENT
12) TOWN OF VAIL ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING: RUSSELL FORREST,
Senior Environmental Planner
ACTION TAKEN TO DATE
C-DOT placed signs at pull off for emergency stopping'only;
Vail P.D. and State Highway Patrol response to residents'
calls when the parking lane is improperly used
SOLUTIONS
Remove the lane and restore the natural vegetation.
In addition, add a sound containing wall next to the road way
to secure safety and reduce noise.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES
a) Edwards already has a rest area with safe parking,
lighting, telephones, public rest rooms. Place a sign before
the Edwards exit (example: Vail Pass closed stop her to
install chains or wait, (If Vail Pass in closed then most
likely Dowd Junction is dangerous this might slow down the
trucks and make a very busy stretch of highway safer during
inclement whether for all commuters)
b) Move the pull-off lane approximately 4/10 of a mile to the
west of its current location. There would.be little impact on
immediate housing, but still does not fully address the air
quality during temperature inversions.
REQUESTED FROM.THE TOWN OF VAIL:
a) Letter of support from the Town Council;
b) Town funding for toxicology study and residential real
estate value impact study;
c) Endorsement of continued efforts of Town of Vail staff,
i.e. Russel Forrest.

25, adopting the franchise agreement, was contained in Ordinance 26. Stan McKinzie
from TCI was present to answer questions. Tom reviewed several issues which were
raised at the last work session and evening meeting pertaining to: 1) Council's request
to have all five Town buildings connected with fiber optic cable. Stan McKinzie stated
TCI was not able to go beyond the three promised. 2) Tom pointed out additions and
changes to the final draft of the agreement since last reading, as well as one change in
Ordinance 25. At that time Mayor Osterfoss opened discussion up to the public. A letter
was received via facsimile from resident Linda Fried opposing the 15 year franchise, and
was distributed to Councilmembers prior to the meeting. East Vail resident Sue Mason
expressed her concerns and presented Council with a petition which contained 97
signatures in opposition to the franchise. Tom Moorhead reminded Council and
members of the public that the agreement with TCI was non-exclusive, and did not
exclude other cable companies from operating in Vail. Stan McKinzie addressed concerns
of Sue Mason and reviewed the repair section of the contract. Stan also stated TCI would
welcome any competition. Vail resident Ed Drager stated 15 years was too long and
suggested Council approve a three year contract. Tom Moorhead clarified the contract
required compliance within certain time limits. Jan Strauch recommended approval of
the TCI franchise for the 15 year term and stated he felt the best way to take care of the
complaints and improve service would be to approve the franchise. Jan moved to
approve the ordinance with a second from Sybill Navas. Jim Shearer inquired about
consulting costs of $20,000 -$25,000 and his understanding that the Town would be
reimbursed for these fees by TCI. Tom Moorhead said the contract would not be
executed until those costs were negotiated. Jan amended his motion to include
reimbursement to the Town of Vail of consulting fees up to $25,000. Peggy requested a
responsible party be named who would make sure TCI complied with the agreement.
Bob McLaurin stated he would make certain the contract was complied with. A vote was
then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Item No. 7 was a request to extend Channel 5's contract. Channel 5 Board President,
Brian Hall referenced a packet of information which had been distributed to
Councilmembers. Issues that were discussed included: naming a representative from the
Town of Vail; sources of funding contributions; franchise fees in non-incorporated areas;
public use access; and stock ownership. Jan suggested extending the Channel 5 contract
for six months to allow time for the station to prepare a strategic plan for shared funding
of the station by other users. Merv also requested that a current balance sheet be
submitted. Tom Steinberg asked for a copy of the current year capital budget. Merv
moved to extend the contract for a period of six months, with a second frorm Jim
Shearer. Sybill reiterated the importance of having a Town of Vail representative on the
Board, and Jim Shearer suggested Suzanne Silverthorne be the delegate. Jan requested

restricting the sale or possession of assault weapons. Tom Moorhead gave a brief
summary of discussions at first and second reading of the ordinance and Holly
McCutcheon reviewed the referendum process which was taken. Mayor Osterfoss
requested comments be limited to three minutes per person. Those who gave public
comment opposing the ordinance included Vail residents Sandy Smith and Scotty McGil.
Sybill moved not to repeal the ordinance, with a second from Paul. Councilmembers
voiced their feeling the ordinance should be voted on by the electorate. A vote was then
taken and approved unanimously, 7-0.
Tom Moorhead updated Council of the closing of the town-owned employee housing
unit located at 770 Potato Patch, and requested direction from Council as to how to
proceed with the rental of the unit. Council directed the unit should be rented to an
individual who works in Vail and meets the employee housing criteria. Council further
suggested the rental term run until October 31, 1995, and that the rental rate be
consistent with the HUD guidelines.

meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:37 P.M.

The construction design for the main Vail roundabout is essentially complete and the consfiruction

approvals from the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review Eoard. UVe
have submitted the application to construct these improvements to the Colorado Dep2rtment of

V1le expect to have the plans and specifications ready for contractors the 13th of February and

Capital Improvements Budqet
As we discussed during the Council's review of the 1995 budget, the Council wished to discuss •
the capital budget (outlying years) in more detail at a later date. Accordingly, we have scheduled
this item for the January 10th work session. VVe are allocating four hours to review this matter.
The principal purpose of this meeting is to decide if there are unfunded projects you wish to move
above the funding line. As we have discussed, any project added above the funding line will
require either additional revenues or removing the funding from a project which has currently been
funded.
For your information, I have enclosed a summary of the five year capital budget. Please bring
your capital budget book to the meeting on the 10th so that we may discuss these projects in
more detail.
CAST Meetinq
The Colorado Association of Ski Towns will be meeting on February 8th, 9th, and 10th in Grand

issues affecting the ski towns in Colorado. CAST has retained the service of Miles Raderman
of Park City, Utah, and Tom Baker of Aspen, Colorado, to facilitate the retreat. Although the
agenda is still begin developed, I have enclosed for your information a brief outline which
describes the purpose of the retreat. I will be providing more information to you in the coming
weeks.
Special Election
As you are aware, we have scheduled an election on February 7 to consider the assault weapon
petition and the cemetery question. Although we are not required to do so under the Tabor
Amendment, I am recommending we develop pro/con statements for each of these questions.
VVe will be preparing these pro/con statements in the near future for your review and
consideration.

Dear Chief Hugheye _
I would like to extend my appreciation and gratitude for the
Vail Police Department Special Operations Group's (SOG) assistance
on an operation in Aspen, Colorado, on October 20, 1994o The
operation consisted of the execution of three state of Colorado
search warrants and three state of Colorado arrest warrantse As
the result of the operation, nineteen arrests were effected and
multi-ounce quantities of cocaine were seizedo
The operation was initially scheduled to take place the week
prior to when it occurred. Due to an investigative strategy, the
operation was re-scheduled for the £ollowing weeko In changing the
dates of the operation, Sgt. Joe Russell was very accommodating and
flexible in re-arranging duty schedules so that the members of the
SOG team could assist in the operatione
On October 19, 1994, a pre-operational briefing was held in
Glenwood Springs, Colorado, of which the SOG team was in
attendanceo Each of the members of the SOG team had pertinent
input concerning the tactics and safety of the operation.
At the time of the operation, the SOG members performed
flawlessly and with great professionalisma They were prepared and
equipped properly, and the tactics used were progressive and well trainede
Please extend my gratitude to the SOG members, consisting of
Lto Jeff Layman and Sgto Russell, Officers Mike Stic}cney, Matt
Lindvall, Jim Applegate, and Brian Hoffman< Their assistance, as
coordinated by Sgto Russell, was invaluable and directly resulted
in the successful culmination of the operatione
You and your agency's continued support of the DEA and the
Western Colorado Drug Task Force, is unquestioned and appreciated.
Chief Ken Hughey Page 2
December 22, 1994
This cooperation is another example of the results that can be:
obtained through working together in the suppression of the
distribution and consumption of illicit.narcotics in Western
Colorado.
I, and the members of the DEA Glenwood Springs Resident
Office, look forward to working with members of the Vail Polic:e
Department again in the near future.
Sincerely,

Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation District
RE: RATE CHANGE
The Board of Directors of Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation District has approved a
reduction of 20% in the amount of property taxes collected to fund District operations. Also, the
Board has approved a 15% increase in sewer service charges from $2.67 to $3.07 per 1,000
gallons water consumption per month. For non-metered accounts the rate will be changed from
$20.00 to $23.00 per month. The azeas affected aze from Vail through Squaw Creek, including
Minturn, and will be effective on your January 1995 bill.
Several factors which resulted in the need to increase service chazges include increased Federal
Regulations and testing requirements, limitations imposed by Amendmerit 1(Tabor Amend-
ment), defened system maintenance, and aging equipment.
If you need further information, please call Customer Service at 476-7480.

Dear Frank:
- In an effort to summarize the final discussion held at the work sessions with the Vaii Tcwn Council
on October 25 and November 1, 1994, Jan Strauch and Peggy Osterfoss clearly ider.tifed sor.e further
objectives to be covered prior to the umbrella organization taking over special ever.ts, markeiir.g, and
information services.
A recap of those points is as follows:
1. Have you clarified who will be involved on all the boards and committees "dcwn ;u.;t one
piece of paper?" In so doing, make certain there is continuity and aecountabili±y be:ti-ree:-: each
of the boards through an oversight board.
2. Be reminded the Town Council would be interested in reviewing a plan and providing
feedback; but in fact, this plan presentation is for informational purposes o.^.ly and r.ot for
ultimate approval by Council.
3. Have you clarified how Avon fits the into overalUvalley,%eride marketing? Every cand'da.te who
ran in the Avon Town Council race had firmly supported marketing. Once the election results
are complete, anyone who is elected should be accountable for these remarks.
4. Have the County Commissioners provided some kind af donation?
5. Have you set up the executive committee similar to the one on which Sybill served this past
year? It is imperative that a tourism district be established in Eagle Cour.ty. Specincally the
stated goal should be to have that legislation passed in '95 so it can be vcted on during the
general election in 1996. Ross Bowker has indicated he would be willinb to serve on this
committee again this year; Peggy would make an excellent "chair."
6. How many information booths are actually required in the Town of Vail?
7. Is the WMB, as well as all the additional umbrella committees, aware this is Ghe inaximum
amount of money the Town of Vail will contribute to the overall effort?
8. A final comment comes from Peggy: Funding partners in this cooperative effort neeC to at t.he
very least constitute an executive committee with advisory representation from the broad base
identified. It is unrealistic not to have the umbrella organization operated ultimately by a
board represented by the funding partners.
Frank, I believe this clearly calls out additional requirements the Council would like to have resolved
immediately. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to cantact me at the
Town (479-2113), so we can bring you back to a work session for an update.
Happy New Year!
