TO: Town Council
FROM: Andy Knudtsen aI
DATE: January 20, 1995
SUBJECT: Final version of Vail Commors RFP
The final version of the Vail Commons RFP is attached for your information. The issues that
were discussed this past week at the Council worksession have been included. We plan on
sending it out to the development community in the next three or four days. Please call me
or Bob McLaurin directly if you have any questions or comments.

Dear Prospective Developer,
The Town of Vail is the owner.of a parcel of land, known as the Vail Commons, that has been
identified as having potential for affordable housing and commercial development. The Town has
determined that it would like to see the site developed for affordable housing to serve local
residents, and with commercial development. We are soliciting proposals from qualified
developers concerning participation in the development of the Town-owned properry.
As described in the attached information packet, the Town, with help from a team of consultants,
has analyzed the development potential for the Vail Commons property and has evaluated some of
the key plaruung determinants and considerations for the site. We have not arrived at a specific site
plan or an absolute development program. Rather, we have identified a set of goals for the
property that we want to see addressed. These include:
o Miued use development with at least 60 residential units designed to serve a mix of local
residents and to keep local residenu in Vail. Retail commercial and office uses should be
integrated with the residential development with a minumum of at ]east 20,000 and up to
60,000 square feet of commercial/office uses. VVhile a supermarket has been discussed for
the properry, a supermarket is not an absolute requirement for the chosen development
plan.
o The development of the Vail Commons should, to the maximum extent possible,
encourage off-site benefits includina improving the appearance of the West Vail area,
strengthening commercial activiry, the creation of shared parking and underground parking
and integrated building and landscapin~ design, pedestrian and bicycle linkages and
additional affordable residential development or redevelopment in the general area.
The Town is committed to maximizing the potential of the site for affordable housing. In addition,
we anticipate other on-site and off-site benefits that will occur to the Town as a result of developing
the Vail Commons site. We will be looking to you as a l:nowledgeable developer to provide us with your thoughts, creativity and ideas. We are seeking financially strong developers with a solid
record of successful performance in residential and commercial projects who are interested in
developing the land. Particular consideration will be given to developers with proven expertise in
developing and managing affordable housing and with a proven track record of quality commercial

gIdTkODUCTION
The Tawn of Va.il is looking for developers with a successful track recard in affordable hoasing and
inixed use development. We have identified a process we expec[ po follow and the criteria by which
we will be evaluaxing proposals but rve emphasize at the outset that we encourage your creative
thoughts and ideas. The Towm, ta$ether with a consultant team, bas evaluated the site and develaped a
site analysis plan and a resicfentiai and cormnercial market analysis. White we believe we generally
understand the site and its eapacity, we are cnnsidering the developmenc prvgram to be somewhat fluid
at this eime. We are asking yoa ea tetl vs the program that you would propase, based on the
background that we have provided. We will be selec;ting a deaelopment team that best addresses the
Tawn of Vail's objeceives, as fiarther described below.
The Vail Commons site is zoned CC3 (Commercial Ccre 3) in the 'fown of Vail. The Iand is
- relativeiy ftat and, with the exception of scPUb vegecation, there are no trees aP shrubs on the site. The
parcel is tocated between Chamonix Lane co the norrh and the ATorth Frontage Road and Interstatc 70
eo the south. There are residential lots (some of wluch are aieveloped) locatzd on the narth side of
Chamonix I,ane. These lots aYe zoned Primary/Secondary. The property to the west, which includes
che Safeway groeery stare and the Vail Das Schone retail shopping center, iS :fined COx71T11erCia1 Core
III. 7he West Vail Mall, which includes a mix of tenants ranging fronn a Gart Bras. store to a number
af restauraxats (including some fa.st food establishrnents), is Iocated to the west of the Safeway store.
The Brande5s Building (retail/office mix) is located to the southeast of the si[e, and is alsa zoned
Commercial Core IIT. To the norlhwest of this site are additional Primary/Szcondary zontd residential
properties. Excerpts from the Town's Zoning Code, specifically the regula[ions for the Commercial
Core III and Primary/Secandary Zone disericts, are attached to this RFF as Appendix A.
An improvement survey an.d a list of owners and tenants that we believe will assisc your evaluatioa are
included as Appendix B in the attachments. I?iagrams summarizing physical plannung issues related eo
ehe site are provaded as Appendix C. In additiQn to a physical analysis c,f the siie, discnssions have been held with neighborhood gzoups, a Task
Force and the Va,ii Town Council. Major eoncerns of the adjaeent neighboanoods inelude Fromtage Road
traffiie, in#erehang,e capacity, preserving thc resideatial charaeter a1ong Chaznonix Lane, pcdestrian/bike
connectiQns, a lack of pernmmment geeen spacc in the area, architectural quality of developmcnt and a desire
to avoid laxge asphalt arcas for parlring. The findings from the neigh.borhood mm-tings and from a
communiEy surveey are fuether summarized in Appendix E, Bascd on the evaluation and discussions, the
Towm Peques4s that you submit a development proposal for the Vail oommons site based on at 1= 60
residentaal units. In addition, wc are requesting that you paovide for up to 60,000 square feet of
comrnerciaUofi&ce developrnern. VVhilc a supern2arket on the sitc has received much attcntion, it is not
necessarily a requircmcne of tte development program you submit. It shouId be noted that thm is support
for a supern,arket by some that fcel it will better servc the long terffi needs of Vail shappers and will a.lso
genexate sales tax bevefits.

Our initial site studics indicate that some underground pazking Nvill be cequired tu ensure that the long tcxm
potential of the sitc is rcaliaed and that the livability and open space nbjectides for the praperty are met. In
addition, as y'ou witI note below, thete are several other specific design considerations that yau should
accept as a stacting pomt for your evaluation of the site.
We recoguze that density wi11 directly impact the site glan you propost; and also wiil influence rents/home
pricxs, The Town Council has indica.ted a willingness to consider leasiag the land on very favvrable terms
w encauragc affordable housing in Vail. This might include subsidizing all or part of the develapment by
pmviding land at little or no cost. It should be noted at the outset that tJie Town or Vail does not anticigate
selling the Vail Ctmuttons properiy. Rather we prapose to use long-ter.m (appmxunately 49 year) land
leases as the mechanism by whieh land will be made available tn tine selected develc7per. You wild :uote that
the terms of the lease havc not been specified. We a*e asking you to adldress terans as part of your
proposal.
Your development proposal should anticipate casts associated with con.struciirg & left-turn Iane and
acceleration/deceleration lanes on the Frontage Road the entire length of thc property and the relocation of
the waxer line that bisccts the pcoperry (as shown on the improvement survcy, Appendix B.)
The Town does not auticigate pravitiing suhsidies beyond what is proviLded through the laatd lc,~tse.
However, as described more fuily below, the Town has receivad a$30(),000 Statc of Colorada grant that
can be used for site infrastructure improvements. Your developmeut piroposal should contemplat.e the
availability of these funds which are ta encourage affordable housing ttirough :nfrastructure FrnpPovements.
The Town Council has 'tndicated a desire to pursue a mixture of renl:al and for-saie housing Qn the site.
We have pzovi3ed a preliminary program for dcvelopment based upon 60 units made up of a mix of
unils suggested by the corisultant team. The residences, as reeommc.nded, would ir?clude rentaI and
for-sale units(see Appendix D). A comprehensive residential market study was grepared by A5I
Associates. It is the souree of Che prelirrsinary residential program and is available ugon xequest_
Please consider the residential program as the basis for yaur propaml. If you can achieve grea#er
afEordable residelltial density without negatively impacting the si[e v+e are arixious to consider your
ideas; however, neighborhpvd impact considerations and overall livstbility criteria wi11 likely restric[
the ability df any dcveloper to maximize development to the full potentiai pemnitted by Town zorung.
In addition, if you can bring about additional affordable units off-site, or encouragc othex off-site
development or redevelopment triat is consistent with Town gaals as: deseribed herein, we are
interested in your approach and resources.
The Town of Vail is anxiovs to consider creative development alternatives that further the Tawn's
overall objectives. Yau should feel free to propose such altemative,s as a pan of yaur package; we ask
that you assign a va)ue to these ideas and be as sgecific as you can 2it this time. It is acceptable to
propose more than ane concept ar this time, or minor variations in aL concept, b'at ea,ch slnauld be
described according to the guidelines p.rovided belaw.
In the remaining sectians, we have provided background information concerning the site and
consideratians for the Town of Vail progerry and have outlir,cd che process we request that you follow.

Good Morning, Pam....
To follow up on your 12/30 memo, outlined below is a"progress
report" on the questions you raised.
1. We are "closing the loop" on all committees and the board at
this time. Attached are the appointments to date. The Board
of Directors has its first meeting scheduled for January 18
and will address issues such as reporting, accountability,
etc. between Board, committees, and staff at that time.
2. This was my understanding. At my 12/13 presentation to the
council, I recommended quarterly review of activities/results
with the council which is still my intention.
3. Avon Town Council has a seat on our board of Directors. Since
one of the stated aims of our restructuring was to bring about
"on going communication between all participants with the
result being a dynamic living mechanism for implementation of
change" the Board feels strongly that they, as well as the
County, the Foundation, the Town of Minturn and others who
haven't "put money into the pot" need to be a part of the on-
going planriing and coordination of marketing activities
for the future. We are confident that through becoming a part
of the process, they will also be a part-ner in future
solutions.
4. They have not been asked for a contribution. We are in on
going discussions relating to their Board participation. The
commissioners are an important part of any future funding
solution that involves multiple jurisdictions and need to
become part of the team.
5. It has always been our intention that the Board of Directors
assume the responsibility for developing the future funding
plans. That is the reason for its composition being changed
the way it has been. We would welcome the active
participation of the Mayor, or others who have an interest in
working on this project.

Group Sales 1-800-775-8245 FAX (303) 479-2364 FrUi (303) 47E-6004
6. This is more a question of guest service than necessity. As
we discussed on December 13th, we will monitor this situation
during the year and provide the counril with input as to the
effectiveness of the Visitor' s Centers and the relative merits
or downside of closing one of them.
_ 7. The departmental budgets are being prE:pared with the knowledge
that the contributions are fixed, :including the marketing
budget.
8. The concept of an executive committee composed of the funding
partners, will be reviewed at this weeks Board meeting. The
funding partners already exercise considerable control, as
they have appointed the Marketing Board. However, we feel
that this type of "clout" should also be available at the
Board of Director's level.
Hope this answers most of your questions at this time. We are
pretty much "on target" for implementa.tion of the plans as
presented to the council over the last several months, and look
forward to updating everyone whenever it's appropriate.
Sincerely,
Frank W. Johnson

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.tified some further
objectives to be covered prior to the umbrella organization taking over special eveats, 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 ana committees "dc:r; one
piece of paper?" In so doing, make certain there is continuity and accountabili±y be: een eacn
of the boards through an oversight board.
2. Be reminded the Town Council would be interested in reviewing a plsa 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 overalUvalleywide marketing? Every candidate 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 of 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 County. Specifically the
stated goal should be to have that legislation passed in '95 so it can be vated on du-ing the
general election in 1996. Ross Bowker has indicated he would be willing 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?
e
7. Is the WMB, as well as all the additional umbrella comrnittees, aware this is the maximum ~
amount of money the Town of Vail will contribute to the overalI effort?
8. A final comment comes from Peggy: Funding partners in ithis cooperative effort need to at the
very least constitute an executive committee with advisory, representation from the broad base
identified. It is unrealistic not to have the umbrella org;anization 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 cio not hesitate to contact me at the
Town (479-2113), so we can bring you back to a work session for an update.
Happy New Year!

EAGLE COUNTY `S'RANSPORTATION SUMMIT
Most recently'due to the coopexative efforts of the County of
Eagle, Town of Vail and Town of Avon, Eagle. County now has a bus
xoufie frpm Gypsum to Vaxl. Tl-z;= .ridership sinc.e the beginning oF the
route has been outstanding ano the need f4r a countywide integrated
system is a reality and the need continues t:o grvw.
It is more apparent that the cooperative efforts which aoined
in bringing the Gypsum route to reality iaust now aommit to a
r.ontinued cooperative effort io ensure consistent and dependabie
i:ransportation from one er~~:: of the county to the other. The
iransportation system presentiy provided is continui.ng to tax the
municipalities, resort associations and county goveznment by
r.elying on Funding from general funds. TYtis funding mechanism
r.annot conti.nue to provide the qualit:y and quantity of
transportati,on needed by the xesidents 4f Ecigle County. The need Por a countywide integrated transportation system
goes beyond the need to transport employees to their jobs, which
tieed is of high priority. The needs also include a need to diminish
zind control pollution caused ~,y motor vehicles, the limited raad
system on which our motor vehi:,.,t.es trave], and the r,eeds anclude but
are not limited to the extreme scarcity of parking available in our
resort communiti.es. All oP these needs r~-qiaire us as interested
c:itizens and governing bodies of the enti-::?es presently.providing
transportation to work together to develop a coopez-at.;ve service
which meets all our needs and can continue t:o meet those needs bx
dedicated and fixed funding.
In order to obtain the funding we need a cvoperatxve agreement
on hdw to fund the system and who should run the system. This
summit is the first step i.n attempting to develop that cooperation.
The Eagle County Mass Transportation Comm.ittee asks that each '
municipal and resort eommunity join in a summit meeting to set this
goal and help make this a reality. As background, the Eagle County Mass Transpartation Committee
is a committee which was formed in the Fall ot 1993 by the Eaqle County Commissioners. Its members are county ritizens interested in
resolvi.ng the transportation problems faci.ng our county. The
committee is committed to this resolution irrespective of its
political appointment by the county Commissioners. We are truly a
citizens committee, not a politzcal entity. If indeed our efforts
render us powerless and d,issolved but there i;s created a countywide
transportation system with dedzcated and f_ixed funding operated
under one entity, the Eagle Countiy Mass TranspQrtation Committee
has succeeded. We will continue to strive for this goal unti1 it is reali,zed.

Dear TCI:
I am writing concerning the lack of availability of United Parainount Network, the network carrying the
new Star Trek program, Voyager. I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision to not make the program
available to your customers.
The Star Trek concept has generated four television series and seven blockbuster movies. Your decision to
not provide this latest in the long line of Star Trek related programming seems to be very short sighted, and most
likely costly. This new program has been advertised for almost a year through the print and broadcast media. It was
on the cover of TV Guide this week, including a four page ad and an eleven page article. Two Star Trek captains
even appeared on the cover of the November 28, 1994 issue of Time, for heaven's sake! And you thought Power
Rangers had a large viewing audience?
I do not expect this new network to be provided free to your customers. I would gladly pay for the addition
of this nerivork to our programming selection. But your decision to not make it available, under any circumstances,
but be reconsidered. If I had the choice to change cable companies in order to obtain this program, I definitely
would. But since your company holds the current monopoly in our area, I have no choice but to make a plea for a
change in this decision. .
I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

GYPSUM-VA@L EXPRESS TO DROP EDWARDS STOP BEGIIVNIfVG .9AN 23
(Vail)--Beginning iVlonday (1-23), the Gypsum-Vail Express will eliminate its bus stop
in Edwards because of continued low ridership. Vail Transit fVlanager Mike Rose said
the change will save about six minutes, making it easier for riders to catch connecting
buses in Avon and Vail.
The Edwards rest area is one of six stops along the route and has attracted no more
than two riders a day, Rose said. At Gypsum and Eagle, about 15 to 20 riders are
boarding weekdays in each of the communities. "We've been reluctant to drop the
Edwards stop because we haven't wanted to turn away those who've been using the
system," Rose said. "On 4he other hand, additional riders have asked us to make some
changes to improve transfers in Avon and Vail."
As a resutt, 4he Edwrards stop will be discontinued after Sunday's (1-22) run.
Beginning iVionday (1-23), buses will arrive in Avon at 6:20 a.m. and 7:20 a.m.; and in
Vail at 6:35 a.m. and 7:35 a.m. Morning boarding times in Gypsum and Eagle will be
unaffected. Afternoon departures will be unchanged, as well; however, arrival in Eagle
and Gypsum will be about 6-10 minutes earlier.

Express Bus/Add 1
Rose said the changes will benefit riders who work in Beaver Creek and West Vail by
giving them more time to catch connecting buses. In addition, he said, the new
schedule will provide some flexibility in getting riders to work during inclement weather.
As of Jan. 16, ridership on the Express had totaled 2,723 passengers. The service
began Nov. 19 and runs daily through April 16. The nev+r commuter route is being
funded this season by Eagle County with operational assistance provided by the Town
of Vail.

Dear Commissioners:
At their meeting on January 17, 1995, the Vail Town Council voted rot to support a request
for a highway information sign from Wendy's Restaurant. Gene Merdian Jr., marketing
manager for Wendy's, presented a request for a hiyhway information sign to be located just
west of the Town limits in Dowd Junction. The sign would be the typical highway information
sign representing commercial enterprises such as restaurants. Council listened to Mr.
Merdian's request, and weighed the pros and cons of the application. The Council felt
strongly that off-site commercial advertising is not allowed in Town currently and should not be
allowed as it relates to interstate highway signs.
It is our understanding that the Colorado Department of Transportation will not approve
requests for commercial highway signage unless the locality in which the sign is to be located
supports the proposed signage request. The proposed sign location is within unincorporated
Eagle County. Thus, the Vail Town Council requests that the Eagle County Commissioners
not support Wendy's highway information sign request. We have attached a copy of the staff
memorandum to the Town Council outlining Wendy's request and the reasons that staff and
the Council both felt that denying the request was appropriate.
The Town Council is supportive of making a modification to the existing sign at the bottom of
the eastbound I-70 West Vail off-ramp. Currently, there is a general highway information sign
indicating services to the right. Staff and the Council would support changing this sign so that
it would read food, gas and lodging with arrows pointing in both directions, since all services
are currently available in both directions. We would appreciate your support on the Town's
behalf. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at 479-
2138.

(Vail)--The information superhighwray has come to Vail. And it's happening at the Vail
Public Library. After eight weeks of planning and research, a new computer work
station is being opened this week which connects library users to the Internet, a
network of more than 30 million users worldwide. The library connection is the firs4 toll-
free Internet connection in the Vail Valley. Until now, the closest sites were in
Glenwood Springs and Denver.
"This will change the way libraries do business," said Assistant Library Director
Susan Boyd. "The information retrieval possibilities are endless."
With assisfiance from John Uhley, a local compufier consultant, and funds from the
Wertheim Foundation, Boyd has worked to develop an easy-to-use system designed
for 4hose usually in4imidafed by compufers. The result is a windows-based, point-and-
click guide for surFing the information highway. Users simply enter a key word or topic
of interest, and in seconds, they're connected to an index known as the 1/Vorld Wide
(more)
Internet/Add 1
Web containing data from millions of information sites from around the world, including
Vail. From there, text, order forms, color photographs, artwork, maps and other
graphics can be viewed within an instant.
Boyd says the impact of this new technology is revolutionary. For example, if a
customer has a question on the impact of NAFTA on the economy of the U.S. and
Colombia, the library staff would traditionally look to see which magazines or books had
been written on the subject. But now, with a connection i:o Internet, staff members can
put a customer in touch with the data in an instant.
"With this much information available, library staffs must depend on team work to
uncover the best sources for customer questions," Boyd ;said. "Librarians will work now
more in a partnership with their customers searching togelther for what the customer
wishes to learn."
Library users will be asked to limit their trips on the information highway to 15 minutes
at a time to help expose the new technology to as many users as possible, Boyd said.
"Eventually, we'll add several more work stations and some printers for expanded use."
The library's newest advancement evolved through a cfiance encounter last fall when
computer consultant Uhley, then a California resident, vis-ited the library to inquire
about sending a message to his West Coast colleagues by electronic mail. Uhley has
since moved to Vail and invested more than $40,000 to e.stablish an Internet server, known as VailNet. Uhley has connected the library to his VailNet server as a
community donation, which allows full access to the inforrnation highway. The
donation, says Boyd, means toll-free access for the library's Internet users, unlike
(more)
~ -
Internet/Add 2
servers such as Compuserve and Prodigy. "I needed to establish the server for my
work, so I thought I'd share the capability with the community, too," said Uhley, who's
clients include ANDATACO, NASA and Hewlett Packard. "This is a great way to get
out of Vail and into the world," he said. "This may open up a whole new industry for the
valley." VailNet also supplies Internet connections to private homes and businesses for
a small monthly fee.
For more information, contact Boyd at 479-2184 or Uhley at 476-9191.

Following a site visit, the Council directed staff to work with represen4atives from Manor
Vail and Vail Associates to develop some traffic signs to improve vehicular and
pedestrian safety along the west side of the lodge adjacent to Vail Valley Drive.
Visibility is hampered by the location of three large Colorado blue spruce trees on the
Nlanor Vail property. For additional details, contact George Ruther in the Community
Development Department at 479-2138.
--Wendy's Sign Request
The Council voted 5 to 2(with Johnston and Shearer against) to oppose a request from
Wendy's restaurant to place a highway sign on eastbound I-70 at Dowd Junction.
However, the Council agreed to support modification of an existing blue and white
information sign at the West Vail off-ramp to indicate availability of food and gas along
North Frontage Roacl. Currently, the sign directs motorists exclusively to South
Frontage Road for food, gas and lodging. Representatives from Wendy's told the
Council yesterday the Vail business generates less than 80 percent of the state
average for Wendy's franchises and less than 40 percent of the volume of business
conducted at the Silverthorne location. The problem, they said, is lack of visibility from
the interstate. In denying support for the Dowd Junction sign, the majority of the
Council said the proposed commercial sign would be the first of many to clutter the I-70
corridor through Vail. Wendy's had asked for an endorsement by the Council before
presenting a request to 4he Eagle County Commissioners, which has local jurisdiction
over the state-regulated matter. Since 1984, the County has respected the town's
rejection of commercial signs on the interstate. Town planners will send a letter to the
County to notify it of the Council's decision. For more information, contact Randy
Stouder in the Community Development Department at 479-2138.

In presenting an update on the 1994 summer air program (in which the community

Council Highlights/Add 1
spent $650,000 to subsidize flights by American Airlines), Kent Myers and Bill Tomcich
from Vail Associates (VA) asked the Council if it would support guaranteed flights for
the 1995 season. Although Council members Merv Lapin and Jan Strauch expressed
concern for using taxpayer dollars to subsidize a private business, Myers predicted
airlines would be unwilling to fly into the Eagle County Regional Airport during the
summer without a guarantee. He said it_would take at le<3st three years of local subsidy
before the summer program would ever become a profitable operation for the airline.
Last year, the Town of Vail contributed $40,000 to the guarantee program; about five
percent of the local dollars raised. Council members agreed the 1994 program has had
a positive economic impact for the Vail Valley. As for the~. 1995 guarantee, the Council
asked Myers and Tomcich to request funds from the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention
Bureau--the organization responsible for allocating the town's marketing and promotion
funds. Council members also encouraged VA to use some additional strategies when
negotiating a 1995 summer guarantee with American. Myers.said a community meeting
would be scheduled Feb. 1 to "test the temperature" for c:ontinuation of the summer air
program. He said the community would have to be prepared to write another check for
a half million dollars.
--Key to the City
A key to the city was presented to Ikira Inagaki, representing the Skier Association of -
Japan in Tokyo. For the past eight years, Inagaki has bE.~en bringing a delegation of
Japanese ski instructors to Vail for a technical and cultur-al exchange with the Vail
Associates Ski School: Vail is the only American resortto establish such a relationship
with the Japanese Ski Association. In presenting the key, Mayor Peggy Osterfoss read
a proclamation welcoming the group to Vail. For more information, contact Ken Ito at
328-4333.
--Review of Draft RFP for Vail Commons
The Council approved a draft request for proposals (RFF') which will be used to solicit
developer interest in the Vail Commons property. The tc?wn is requesting a"summary
proposal" from developers as the first step in a two-step process. The document seeks interest in development of a mixed-use program containing 60 or more housing units
and up to 60,000 square feet of commercial space. The request for proposals will be
distributed within two weeks with summary responses due from developers by late
February. The 6.6 acre Vail Commons property was purchased by the town in 1993 for
$3.2 million. It is the largest mixed use undeveloped parcel in town. For more
information, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at
479-2138.
--Grundig Mountain Bike Race
The Council voted 5 to 2(Lapin and Steinberg opposed) to authorize $15,000 from
1995 Council contingency funds to assist with a World C.up mountain bike event
scheduled for June 8-11 this year in Vail, after Chris Ryrnan from Vail Associates asked (more)

the Council to join the company in helping 40 offset a projected shortfall of $80,000 to
$100,000 to provide the race course. The town's $15,000 pledge, combined with VA's
contribution of $40,000, leaves a shor4fatl ofi between $25,000 and $45,000 to support
the event. The Council suggested a community challenge to raise the remainder of the
money. Another $10,000, plus in-kind services from the town, is being given to the Vail
. Valley Foundation to assist with the foundation's costs in.managing the event. Safety
and equipment provisions of competitors under the age of 18 also remain a concern of
the Council. Organizers say a decision on 4he event's status--go or no go--must be
made as soon as possible. A funding request to the Vail Valley Tourism and
Convention Bureau--the organization responsible for allocating the town's marketing
and promotion funds--is undervvay.
--1996 Budget Calendar
The Council reviewed a timetable for development of the 1996 budget and agreed to a
program-based format. Town iVianager Bob McLaurin said the new format would give
the Council the data it needs to allocate resources effectively in. meeting the Town
Council's goals and objectives.
--Discussion of Condominium Conversion Ordinance
The Council reviewred an ordinance preventing the conversion of accommodation or
hotel units to condominium units in preparation for first reading at the evening meeting.
For more information, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107.
--West Vail Fire Station
After reviewing a 1990 study which recommended a West Vail fire station, the Council
agreed to move forward with selection of a site. The estimate for land and construction
of a fire station in West Vail is $1.2 million. The project will be included in the town's
capital improvements budget for 1997. It will not require an increase in taxes. For
more information, contact Fire Chief Dick Duran at 479-2252 or Town Nianager Bob
NicLaurin at 479-2105.
--Council Reports
Jan Strauch shared an ad campaign from the Vail Valley Niarketing Board which has
been placed in the local media to entice winter visitors to return during the summer. He
said about 35 percent of the valley's summer visitors spend their first vacations here
during the winter.
Sybill Navas suggested hosting a merchant's meeting to talk about proposed changes
in the way merchants display goods in front of their stores. This meeting would be
similar to an upcoming meeting on the amplified sound issue.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR ]PLACES FIRST TELEPHONE CAI.L
OVER FIBER OPTIC "SUPERHIGIiWAY" LINK
BETWEEN DENVER AND GRANI) JUNCTION
This moming, Lt. Governor Sam Cassidy, plared the first live telephone
call to travel on a U S WEST Communications fiber optic interoffice link
between Denver and Grand Junction. Cassidv called Governor Romer in
Denver and simultaneously called Congressman Scott McInnis in Grand
Junction. The call was placed after Lt. Governor Cassidy performed a final
s
"ceremonial" fiber splice, connectinQ the last major section of the fiber optic
cable over Vail Pass .
U S WEST Communications (U S WEST) ho;sted the ceremonial splice
and first call in celebration of the completion of a$2;6 million effort to build a
fiber optic interoffice link between Denver and Grand Junction.
Most telecommunications services such as lorig distance calls and data
transmissions from western Colorado will be sent to Denver over the fiber optic
cable by the end of February. "A modern telecommunications infrastructure is
crucial to the economic development and viability of rural Colorado," said
Lieutenant Governor Sam Cassidy. "Projects such a.s this, bring the possibility
of distance learning and telemedicine a step closer to reality for rural
Coloradans and provide our state with a stronger, hi;gher quality environment
for it's citizens." -more =

Long-distance and data transmission signals between westem Colorado
and Denver currently travel through a series of digital radio sites. The radio
siees will Ue left in place to serve as a parallel and alternate coYnmunications
route in the event of a fiber optic failure.
"'Ibe deployment. of the fiber optic cable and the reeention of the digital
radios will aid in U S WEST's efforts to maximize long distance and data
transmission services, as well as minimize interoffice service oueages," said
John Scully, Colorado Vice President for U S VNES'I'. "U SWES'I' believes the
completion of this fiber optic backbone in the Colorado telecommunications
infrastrucfiure will provide significant benefit to residents and businesses
throughout western Colorado as they increase their usage of the 'information
superhighway'," said Scully. The fiber optic cable will provide faster, cleaner
data transmission over long distances and may aid in the future deployment of
other digital services.
The deployment of the fiber optic long distance backbone is one of many
investments U S WEST has made over the last several years to bring improved
telecommunications service to rural areas of Colorado. The interoffice fiter
project will help U SWEST meet the 2rowing needs and demands of rural
customers for high quality, long distance service while minimizing the impact
of any potential long distance outages.
Construceion of the last major section of the fiber optic link followed the
bicycle path over Vail Pass. Bicycle enthusiasts continued to use the bike path
during the construction with minimal delays. Cyclists' patience `uitti the
construction will be rewarded in the spring when final clean-up and restoral,
iricluding a nevv ewo inch asphalt overlay, will be corripleted on the portions of
the bike path disturbed by construction. Depending upon weather conditions,
the new overlay is expected to be finished by the end of June, 1995.

SUBJECT: Manor Vail Lodge sidewalk pedestrian safety issue
At the January 17, 1995 Town Council meeting, staff discussed with the Town Council the
Manor Vail Lodge sidewalk pedestrian safety issue. The result of the discussion with Town
Council concluded that the most effective, temporary way to solve the pedestrian/traffic safety .
issue would be to place cautionary signs on Vail Valley Drive. The purpose of the cautionary
signs would be to warn motorists on Vail Valley Drive of the pedestrian crossing between the
Manor Vai1 Lodge and the Golden Peak ski base facility. The cautionary signs (i.e. council
suggested ski school zone, children at play, etc.) would remain on Vail Valley Drive until a
thorough traffic/pedestrian study could be completed as a part of the Golden Peak Ski Base
redevelopment. The Town Council requested that the location and number of signs needed
be determined by the Town Engineer. A request was also made to place the cautionary
signs on existing sign posts. It was the Council's desire to have the new signs put in place as
soon as possible. Therefore, your immediate attention to this request would be greatly
appreciated.

Vail City Council

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Council Members:
Please be advised that I have been recently made aware of your un-Constitutional, un-
American, and Big Brother attitude in prohibiting gun ownership for Vail residents and
visitors. If this report is true, and I believe it is, I will not visit Vail again nor will I
support any business or resort there. I will also make sure that all of my friends and
skiers, who visit Vail but who are also ardent law-abiding sportsmen and women and are .
gun-owners and 2nd Amendment supporters, are warned to avoid Vail because of your
illogical and un-American position.
I have done considerable research for years into private gun ownership and the Bill of
• Rights and have determined conclusively:
(1) Gun control is a direct cause of crime. The most notorious example is
Washington, DC which banned gun ownership in the 1970's resulting in a 300% increase
in violent homicide and the title of "the murder capitol of the world. " Morgan-Quitno
studies have verified that the safest 10 states in America are those with the least gun
control.
(2) Gun control is the direct cause of at least 7 major genocides in the 20th .
century and a minimum of 56 million murders by tyrannical governments which passed the
gun control laws. See "Gun Control Gateivay to Tyranny" and,, "Lethal Laws -,.C'run Control is the key to,Genocide.'`.by::Simkins;.Zelman;.and,Rice;_:::
r
P.O. Box 79
Honolulu, Hawari 96810
Phone: (808) 533-6565
(3) The Gun Control Act of 1968 is a translated clone of the Nazi Weapons Act
of 1938 authorized by the 3rd Reich. This is the major U.S. };un control law and was
privately translated from the German by the late Senator Thomas Dodd of Connecticut.
This has been conclusively proven by The Jews For The Preservation Of Firearms
Ownership, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Anyway folks, I could write pages on this subject and document every claim. You have
taken a very unwise, unconstitutional, and liberal position, to your shame.
I hope you change your mind but, until you do, you won't see me in Vail.
Sincerely yours,
~

EAGLE RIVER ASSEMBLY
1VIIIVUTES
December 16, 1994
VlTestin Hotel-Vail
Attendance: See attached sheet
Updates: Chris Treese reported on the public meetings held in October. Each
member of the Assembly received in November a fcu.r gage stimmary
of the public input gathered. Generally, the public was pleased that
the Assembly members are involving the public so early in the
process. Predictably, some were frustrated that we didn't have
specifics regarding location, size, etc. to present. The surprise was
that most seemed willing to accept that some additional storage is
desirable and/or inevitable.
Chuck Ogilby introduced a study very recendy completed by Tom
Williamson regarding the potential cumulative effects of development
of the major conditional rights in the Eagle River Basin. A copy of
this report has been mailed separately to each member entity.
Future of ERA All members agreed there is on-going value to continuing the Eagle
R.iver Assembly. At a minimum, the Assembly has on-going value as
an information source and educational forum for both the public and
the current Assembly members. The Assembly's East Slope members ,
reported it has been particularly beneficial as a check in and feedback
• mechanism for their efforts. Additional information is needed on
potenrial forces which may impact Eagle River decision-making (e.g.,
East Slope alternarive water sources like ground water recharge and
interstate Colorado River decisions and development).
The Eagle R.iver is uniquely positioned at this time to make (and
needs to make) water resources decisions. Twenty to forty years from
now current opportunities will likely be preempted by political and
environmental developments on the Colorado River.
Any decision regarding changes to the leadership and structure of the
Assembly was delayed and will be on the next meeting's agenda.

Follow-up: Technical Committee
The technical committee will develop for consideration at the next
meeting a work plan for 1995, along with associated budget and
resource commitment estimates. Alternatives for securing additional
water for the Eagle River must be evaluated. As part of that effort,
river conditions need to be updated to aczou:,t :cr recent
developments, such as Black Lakes enlargement, 500 af from Cyprus-
Climax wells, and the Homestake water exchange.

Prior to the next meeting, the public affairs committee will develop a

RE: Performance Evaluation
With the conclusion of my first year of employment with the Town of Vail, it is time for u;e Council to
review my performance for this period. In order to assist you in yaur review, I have enclosed a do:,ument
which provides a status report on the goals and objectives adopted by the Council last spring. I believe
this will give you a complete assessment of our pmgress on the issues identified by the Council.
I have also included a questionnaire which will help evaluate my gerformance for ttis period. If you
would like to utilize another form, either in addition to or in place of this one, please ler *ne 13mow and
I will provide one that meets your needs.
Over the past year, I have worked diligently to change the culture of the TOV organizution, ir:iprove
external relationships, and implement the goals set forth by the Council. Despite several serious incidents,
I believe we have moved the organization forward and have made significant progress in achieving the
Council's goals.
I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to work for the Town of Vuil. I found the past year to he most
enjoyable and rewarding. Furthermore, I believe I have grown personally and professionally.
I look forward to meeting with you and reviewing my performance over the past 12 months. I also look
forward to discussing your expectations for the coming year. As we discussed on my first day at 1VIerv's
house, and as outlined in my psychological evaluation prepared by Somerville & Company, it is extremely
important that I understand the Council's expectations of ine.

MIEMQAI&ANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
lEltB: Robert W. 1VIcLaurin, Town 1Vlanager ~ dD'd': January 23, 1995
RIE: Update on TOV Goals and Objectives
The purpose of this memorandum is to update the Council on the status of the Town's goals and work program.
As we have discussed, the Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives set direction and form the basis of the work
program. I have attached a copy of the To«n's Vision and Mission Statements, as well as an update on the
Goals and Objecrives. You will note that manv of the objectives are intenelated; therefore, a specific action or
accomplishment may be discussed in more than one location. The past year was a traumatic one for the To~Nn of Vail organization. A series of unrelated, unfortunate
incidents created controversy, disrupted the organization and adversely affected morale. Furthermore, director
vacancies in Human Resources and Community Development hindered our efforts. Despite these events, the
Town has continued to move fonvazd and improve.
One of the goals of the last Town Council was to change the management system at the Town of Vail. The BBC
report prepazed in 1992 described a recommended approach to the management of the TOV organization. The
template (or position profile) prepared during the toNvn manager seazch further describes the management
strategy desired by the Town Council. Accordingly, we have begun to move from a traditional hierarchical
structure to one that recognizes teams as the pnmary source of performance.
During my first year, I focused my energy on changing the organizational culture of the Town of Vail
organization. Specifically I have been worl:ir?g on increasing the level of trust throughout the organization and
improving internal communication. While we have made significant progress in this azea, much remains to be
done.
Another signi.ficant area that needs to be addressed as we work to change our organizational culture is the issue
of the Council versus the staff. As was Avell documented in the BBC Report, there is a lack trust by some TOV
employees. While I believe this situation has unproved, further work is needed. Regardless of how this
situation developed, there aze organizational wounds that need to be healed.
The following pazagraphs provide a brief overview of the goals and objectives adopted by the Council. The
specifics are addressed beneath each of the objectives on the attached exhibit.
'g'ransportation
The work program in transportation focused on improving the operational efficiency of the local street nettvork
through geometric changes. Specifically, the Main Vail Roundabout has been designed and will soon be bid.
Preliminary design work on the West Vail Roundabout is also undenva_y. Improving ridership on both the TOV
routes and the outlying routes was also addressed. The Gypsum/Vail bus route was a partnership between Eagle
Countv and the Town. Ridership on this route has been excellent. Finally, we are continuing to work toward
a formal regiona} transportation authority.
We have also been working to complete the bike paths. The bridges at Dowd Junction are under construction
and will be complete next spring. We are looking for funding partners to complete this project and are
encouraged by the $100,000 contribution from Eagle County. We are working to acquire two easements
necessary to complete the West Vail Bike Path.
Ilntergovernmeaetafl Itelations
We significantly unproved the working relationship with Eagle County this past year. In addition to the
partnership with the Gypsum/Vail bus route, Eagle County has allocated $100,000 for the Dowd Junction bike
path. We are working closely with the County to develop a formal regional transportation authority. We are
attempting to improve our working relationship with Avon, although this effort has not been as successful as
our efforts with Eagle County. We have also improved our working relationship with the Upper Eagle Valley
Water and Sanitation District. We have been working with UEVWS to coordinate capital improvements in the
- town. We have developed an excellent worl:ing relationship with the Forest Service an d are negotiating with
them on the land ownership adjustment plan.
Aff4'ordab9e ~][][ouasing
The Town housing program consists of a series of actions, incentives and programs designed to help, through
an incremental approach, to ease the Town's housing problems. It is recognized none of these actions are a
panacea; but each should help ameliorate this problem. The Town of Vail housing program is a multi year effort
and generally consist of the following:
* Construction of at least 60 dwelling units on the Vail Commons site.
* Development of housing on the lots adjacent to the Town Manager's residence.
* Implementation of the Mortgage Guarantee Program.
Use of the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Progtam.
* Use of development regulations to add to affordable housing stock.
* Use of incentives to add to the affordable housing stock.
* Acquisition of selected dwelling to be deed restricted.
Most of the work on the housing program this year has focused on the development of the Vail Commons site
and development of the Mortgage Guarantee Program. The zoning regulations were revised to create incentives
for creating affordable housing. Finally one dwelling unit was acquired. The specific accomplishments of each
of the objectives ate outlined in the exhibit.
]Planning GrowYh and Development
The resignation of the Community Development Duector last summer has slowed progress on some of the
planning and development issues. The focus of long range planning activity has been on affordable housing,
open space preservation; and envuonmental planning. These activities include Vail Commons, work on the
Town Manager lots, as well as changes to the development regulations to provide incentives for employee
housing. Although development activity in 1994 was down slightly from 1993, development review continues
to consume significant staff time.
Open Space
Highlights of the Open Space Program include the adoption of the Comprehensive Open Lands Plan early in
1994. With the purchase of the Trapper's Run property, the highest priority of the Open Lands Plan was
accomplished. The Town and Forest Service negotiated and signed the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan
(LOA). Pursuant to the Land Ownership Adjustment Plan, we have initiated procedures to execute land
exchanges outlined in the LOA. A negotiator has been hired to assist with the innplementation of the Open
Lands Plan.
gnfrastructure
The status of the capital improvements program is detailed following this memorandum.
]Econornec Deve6oprrient
Activities in the area of economic development included structural changes to the valley wide marketing effort
and accompanying changes in funding. The second aspect of this issue invalved our work with Vail Associates
to implement the growth controls and incentives outlined in the TOVNA draft agreement. To date, we have
worked cooperatively with VA on two promotions. Both of these involved incentives combining lift ticket and
parking fees.
Eeeveronanental gssaues
The most significant activity in this azea relates to the Environmental Strategic Plan. The plan was completed
earlier in the year and was adopted by the Council in November. This document outlines a four year work
program and identifies specific environmental actions to be accomplished over this period.
OrganizatioenaB Ef6ectiveness
One of the major elements of this issue included the development of the Town's Mission, Vision and Goals by
the Town Council last winter. We are worl:ing to improve the effectiveness of the TOV by building trust and
improving internal communication.
lFinancial Performaaece
The financial status of the Town continues to be excellent. While revenues continue to increase, the rate of
increase has bcen decreasing. We need to work to maintain sales tax revenues and to maintain our market share
of these revenues.
Human Services .

a DRB regulation that requires Design Review Boazd'approval before live vegetation can be
removed. This regulation has several problems that staff (Todd Oppenheimer, Russ Forrest, and
George Ruther) hope to correct. One key issue that we are hoping to address through this ordinance
is improved protection of riparian and wetland vegetation. Also, this ordinance will have stronger
enforcement language to protect mature trees during construction also from indiscriminate damage
while making it simpler for residents to maintain their landscape without having to obtain DRB
approval, Staff will be scheduling a work session on this issue with the Town Council in late
January.
# The Town supported the Trees for Vail effort again in 1994. In addition to significant staff time,

Dear Ken:
I would like to commend your department, especially Niatt Lindvall for the handling of the three
bikes that were stolen from our house about a year and one-half ago.
We were able to give Matt a tip on who we believed stole the bikes and Matt was able to follow
up with other teenagers from this area and obtain more information, and ultimately make contact
with the suspect who in time confessed to the bike theft. The suspect plans to make full
resdtution to us and the insurance company.
Although this does not rank as one of the major crimes in the area, I am pleased with the way
it was handled and the ultimate results. I think that the more that teenagers find out that they
will be apprehended and be responsible for their acts, the better off we will be.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
/Sancer ly,
Warner, Jr.

REgUEST FOR Mr. Warner requested the Board grant an extension
. EXTEATSIORT of the November 22, 1994 deadline for the filing
OF COST of cost recovery for Homestead Filing No.2. He
RECOVERY explained the preliminary plan and zoning had been
approved by the County ten years ago, but since
the final plat had never been approved, the County
is requiring Warner Developments to reapply and
start the process over. Warner Developments'
inability to apply for cost recovery in a timely
manner is due to the County, and is not the fault
of Warner Developments. If the final plat is
approved by the County, his company is prepared to
break ground in March, 1995.
As the Board discussed Mr. Warner's appeal, Mr.
Collins suggested the Board might anticipate an
additional application by Mark Avery, for
Wildhorse. He suggested the Board take Mr.
Warner's request under advisement until the next
meeting. Following discussion, and upon motion
duly made and seconded, it was
ItESO%,VED to table Cost Recovery issues in
anticipation of additional applications for
contract deadline extensions.

COUNSEL
%adusuit by the Iaisurer of the Building Damaged by
F'ire at G1rpsum, Malr 10, 1994 - Mr. Collins
reported the District has received a Notice of
Claim from the Insurer of the Air Dry Facility.
He explained the District is not liable, because
the water line was extended by the property owner,
who never included the property into the Vail
Valley Consolidated Water District or paid tap
fees to that District and, therefore, the water
was never turned on. The timing of the arrival of
, the fire trucks is also in question. The
District's case is well documented.

NORTHWEST Dr. Thomas Steinberg, Chairman of the Board of
COLORADO Directors, Northwest Colorado Council of
COUATCIL Governments (NWCCOG), presented an appeal for the
OF Upper Eagle Valley Consolidated Sanitation
GOVERNMERTTS District to pay annual dues in the amount of
$8,056 for District membership in the Water
Quality Program of NWCCOG. A copy of this
document is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
incorporated herein by this reference. He
explained this amount is the District's share of a
total $40,000, which is currently sought from all
Sanitation and Water Districts in the six county
. area, which are not town-owned. Dr. Steinberg
predicted that eventually Denver, Colorado
Springs, and Aurora will be asked to contribute
their share of the costs, assessed in the same
proportions as all the Districts, which will
result in a dramatic reduction in dues for all
participants.
Dr. Steinberg explained if NWCCOG fails to solicit
sufficient funding from Water and Sanitation
Districts and from the State, it will cease to be

able to function as the 208 Planner/Director for
- the Western Slope. This administration will then
- be resumed by the State, and eventually will be
turned over to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). He asked the Directors to decide whether
they would rather deal with NWCCOG or the EPA.
Dr. Steinberg encouraged the Board to send a
representative to contribute input from the
Sanitation District to the :NWCCOG Water Quality
Program.
Mr. Collins commented the d-ues may seem a little
steep, but strongly encouralged the District Board
to participate in the progr;am.
Chairman Kirch asked Dr. Steinberg to report to
the Upper Eagle Valley ConsiDlidateci Sanitation
District, updating the Boarc3 on how District money
is spent, so the Board will be better acquainted
with NWCCOG when they appea:l for continued
membership next year. Following discussion, and
upon motion duly made and seconded, it was

Jmm `Mr. Troxel, representing JNM-Operational Services,
REPORT - Inc.(JNM), presented the Board with a detailed
summary of the twelve projects on which JMM has
been hired to work. He described two as
administrative, the rest fall under the following
categories:
1) Facility Optimization
2) Computer Maintenance
3) Recruitment and Staff Assistance
4) Operations & Management
(O&M)Documentation
5) Collection & Distribution Systems
6) Safety Audit
He described the Safety Audit as a current key
issue for the District, and added JMM is creating
a priority list for an Emergency Response Plan,
addressing various levels of operation in
emergencies ranging from a local upset to a
regional disaster, which will interface with other
area emergency services.
Regarding Maintenance Management, Mr. Troxel
explained JMM has been interacting with staff
about software, has completed a new system for
identifying equipment, and is in the process of
implementing an interim manual system. He
emphasized most of this is new to most of the
staff.
Chairman Kirch inquired about the readiness and
receptiveness of District Maintenance staff to
systems as sophisticated as those recommended by
JMM. Mr. Troxel responded Hawkeye Flaherty is
enthusiastic about the new systems and is actively
involved in the process, which results in a

- cooperative response from N[aintenance staff. He.
added the changes were bein.g introduced graduall.y,
so that staff might absorb the changes in a
palatable manner. It is Mr. Troxel's opinion that .
changing old habits is going to be the District
employees' biggest difficulty.
Mr. Troxel then introduced Ben Price, also
representing JNM. Mr. Price described his area of
concentration to be the management and marketing
of District sludge (bio-solids). His goal is to
convert District sludge into a product which is
marketable, and get the District through until the
ATAD system is on line. He wants to assure the
Board and management staff the sludge is able to
go out of the District and :never return.
Mr. Price described his expiarience with ATAD as
limited, because it is such a new field. He
intends to collect data, develop a preliminary
plan, and be ready to instriict the District in
options for use of ATAD sludge when the time
comes. He added the unknowil appearance of the
safe sludge produced by ATAD may influence its
marketability. Mr. Price re:commended the District
concentrate on establishing a market for compost
now. Between now and the time ATAD becomes
operational, the District stiould move 40,000 yarcis
of compost into the market. The market for
product will then already be established.
COMMTJNITY Sue Kennedy, Account Coordiriator representing
RELATIONS Peter Webb Public Relations, was introduced to the
Board by Mr. Gelvin. He bri.efly described her

association with the Upper Eagle Regional Water
~ Authority and the success of the water
conservation program which her company helped to
design and facilitate.
Ms. Kennedy described her expertise in the areas
of inedia and community relations, adding she
offers customized services to corporate, non-
profit organizations, profit-making entities, and
special districts. She recommended contracting
the services offered by her firm by retainer, and
described ways in which the District and Peter
Webb Public Relations could work together to
establish goals and public relations strategy, a
time line, and a system to report and update the
Board. Ms. Kennedy distributed a proposal which
she called a"laundry list" of potential means for
connecting with the community, as an example of
several options. A copy of the proposal is
attached hereto as Eachibit B, and incorporated
herein by this reference.
Mr. Gelvin complimented Ms. Kennedy for the very
positive exposure accomplished through local
television, radio, and other media regarding water
conservation last summer. He commented Peter Webb
Public Relations was responsible for building a
reservoir of good will in the media and press.

PROJECTS
East Vail Sewer Replacement - Ms. Grider reported
Hawkeye Flaherty is handling this project. Mr.
Collins has the easement, and is prepared to file
the Claim of Easement. Continental West is ready
to proceed.
Initerceptor lteplacement, Phase - Ms. Grider
- reported Western Slope's bid for Phase III was
$799,163. The greatest cost would be Highway 6
and Interstate 70, because the sewer line runs
under the highway abutments. She plans to remove
and relocate the sewer lines for easier
maintenance, and added Western Slope is ready to
begin work in two weeks. She asked the Board to award the contract, including time restrictions
and a five year warranty, to Western Slope,
because this company has proven experience in 24"
line and a good work report.
The Board then considered delaying the project to
enlist more bids in the spring. The Directors
decided it would be more prudent to proceed now,
since the physical area of the project is already
disturbed, and the local business community wants
the work completed as soon as possible. Chairman
Kirch noted that, in the future, other contractors
will have the ability to do "the burst in place"
method. He suggested the District may receive
more competitive bids next spring.

a regional wastewater treatment plant. This four acre site is located at
the confluence of Alkali Creek and the Eagle River neaz Highway 6
between the railroad and the river. It iis located 1.5 miles west of the
Wolcott Village site. Given the expaztsion plans for Wolcott, the

proposed by Wolcott Associates. Mr. Jamaz explained that there aze
no immediate development plans for the Jouflas property but that
Wolcott could ultimately have 300 - 3500 units. Mr. Collins suggested

detemune the level of interest in a regional plant. Presently, Resource
Engineering of Glenwood Springs is conducting a sfudy of the water-
and water rights on the Jouflas property. This analysis will assist in
determining the number of units the properly can support.

RE1~~RT BY Mr. Collins reported on the status of legal matters pending.
lL~GAL CONN5E1L
1Lawsagat by the Imurer of the Buuilding Y)amaged by Fire at Gypsum,
May 10, 1994 - Nir. Collins reported the District had received a 1Votice of
Claim from the Insurer of the Air Dry Facility, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Eachibag A, and incorporated herein by this reference. He
explained the District is not liable, because the water line was extended by
the properry owner, who never included the property into the Vail Valley
Consolidated Water District or paid tap fees to that District and, therefore,
the water was never turned on. T'he timing of the arrival of the fire trucks
is also in question. The District's case is well documented.
Gypsum Aia'port Issues -Mr. Collins stated the Town of Gypsum has
requested changes in the existing District contract. He recommended the
Board schedule a February meeting in the Jet Center conference room to
discuss Town of Gypsum DistrictlAirport issues. The Board concurred and
asked Staff to add this item to the January, 1995, agenda.
REPORT BY Mr. Porzak reported on the status of cases in which the District is an
WA77I'ER applicant.
~OUNSE]L
Aungim~ntation PIan ° flgose Ditcn -1lRr. Porzak surnmarized a letter dated
October 18, 1995 to Mr. 9dalt Koebel, which included an offer from the
I3istrict in the amount of $37,300 for his interest in the Rose Ditch. In the
letter, Mr. Porzak reviewed the historic use of the area and described
the method used to value the property. After, ,10 years of non-use, the
presumption of abandonment can be appealed. 'I'he value of the property
was based on $1,000 per acre foot, which was based on 11/ir. Koebel's use

~ history. The offer is open until December 31, 1994.
- Denver Water Diligence - Mr. Porzak c?pined the District will have thxee
options from which to choose in the near future. The District can: (1)
Withdraw, (2) Fight and cancel decrees, or (3) Propose District withdrawal
if opponents agree any development will be subordinate to Eagle Park
Reservoir. He recommends the District does not defer on
Denver Water Diligence for Eagle-Pine:y and Eagle-Colorado Project i.'or
6 years, and instead seize the opportunity to bring Denver to the table. T'he
Directors asked Mr. Porzak to report on a District monetary commitme;nt
for this project at the next meeting. Mr. Porzak reported Cypress/Climax
has begun the clean-up of Eagle Park F:eservoir. He added the storage
capacities are very close to that which the Eagle River Assembly says axe
necessary for the Vail Valley.
Aurora Exchange - The Eagle River Assembly proposed the Water Trade
Agreement, which provides for the :release of 300 acre feet fram
Homestake Reservoir in the winter, and is repaid with 300 acre feet from
Green Mountain Reservoir in the summer. Mr. Porzak clarified this is not
a trade, it is an "exchange." He feels the exchange is a win-win
proposition. There was consensus among the Directors that Mr. Porzak be
directed to write a letter of Agreement aniong the three entities in the Vail
Consortium (Vail Valley Consolidated. Water District, Upper Eagle
Regional Water Authority, and Vail Assaciates, Inc.) to equally divide the
300 acre feet described above, allocatin;g 100 acre feet to each entity in
the Vail Consortium. Following fw-ther discussion, the Directors
concurred the following paragraph should be added to paragraph 10 in the
Aurora Exchange Agreement:
"Moreover, this agreement shalll not create any precedent or
obligation for the Vail Consortiiim to support any future water
projects sought to be developed by Aurora in the Eagle River
Basin. "
Following discussion, and upon motion duly made and seconded, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED the Aurora Water Facchange Agreement, as amende:d

In discussion following the Resolution, 1Vdr. Best, representing the `lail Valley Times, asked if the District might be at risk by living off water
advances, much like a consumer risks living off borrowed credit. Mr.
Porzak replied the District was not at risk, because it has adequate water
reserves and supplies.
'I'hereafter, 1VTr. Collins and 1Vgr. Porzak left the meeting.
CONSNILTANT Mem'ck Report -1V1r. 1VgcBrien, representing Merrick Company, was
REPOlt37t'S present at the meeting to answer questions regarding the status of 1Vlerrick
operations. He referred to the Executive Planning Document, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Exhibig B, and incorporated herein by this
reference. ltegarding the extension of the Interconnect to Glen I,yon, Mr.
McBrien commented receiving water from the LJpper Eagle Itegional
Water Authority was no problem, but the District's responsibility to retuYn
100,000 gallons of water per day was a concern. The Directors
commented if the water sent down valley is not really needed by the
Authority, the District should leave the water in the river.
Prior to ehe IVovemher 22, 1994 Board Meeting, Chairman Sackbauer will
meet with R/[ayor Osterfaust to request Town of Vail Staff to examine the
Merrick report as soon as possible. He hopes to arrange a joint meeting
vvith District Staff and Town of Vail Staff.

'd'~ ~~Tank 3Upgrades - Ms. Grider reported Tank 3 will not be
retrofitted in 1994. The Tank 2 repairs will be a"quick fix", if a contract
can be secured this year. The money allocated for this repair will be
reduced to $85,000. The Tank 3 pump will be replaced next year, and is
included in this price. She reported no water can be retrieved out of Tank
3 without the pump. Nlerrick recommends building Tank 3 at a higher
elevation and retro-fitting both tanks. 1VTerrick will eventually rebuild both
tanks.

creek project was put on hold temporarily, because the Army Corps of
Engineers required clarificadon before allowing the contractor back into the

Engineers, who said he did not think the contractor was in violation. Mr.
Claffe said he would check current US Fi,sh and Wildlife regulations related

Augmentation Fund does not cover cun~ent regulations, the District will
have to pay into the fund set up by the L1S Division of Fish and Wildlii'e.

Mr. William C. Ristow

Dear 1VIr. Ristow:
Mayor Osterfoss asked me to respond to your letter which was received by the Town of Vail on the
12th of January, 1995.
The 1Vlayor asked.me to relay her thanks for your letter and to express her sincere apoiogy for the
unpleasant experience which you had at one of our local lodges.
While we agree your experience was most unfortunate, this is a singular incident. Therefore, the
Town of Vail would be reluctant to pass an ordinance mandating 24 hour staffing oi hotels and lodges.
On a philosophical basis, the Town of Vail tries, wherever possible, not to interfere with private
business operations.
The Mayor has asked me to contact Frank Johnson of the Vaii Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau
to see if this situation could be resolved in some manner other than through a legsia*ive uct by the
Town of Vail. I will also make an attempt to contact the local better business bureau te c:ac:zss this
matter with them as well.
Once again, please accept our apologies for your unpleasant experience in Vail. We hope you will come
back to visit our town since we have many fine lodging accemrnodations who in fact have 24 hour
coverage by their staffs. Please feel free to call me at 303/479-2105 if you wish to discuss t:-I:s matter
in more detail.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL

Mr. Warren Miller
352 "B" Beaver Dam Circle
Vail, C0, 81657
Dear Warren,
Thanks for your recent advance article cr~ the Roundal-out lpr;,ject.
I also read your humorous January 3rd Vail Dailv art~cle with
amusement, while at the same time recognizi: g your ser~;,as critique
of the roundabout project and it use.
I respect your unique personal and professional wo-rld --r3Vel
. experiences and the perspective you brir.g as a long-t~mc resident
of Vail. Your opinion, constructive criticism, and yaur ca:,cern
about how the roundabout will function when experienced fcr the
first time by locals and our guests wno visit from around the
world, is important.
In community surveys, Vaii Associates cr.-mountain su_~~y_:!, and
through many letters and conversations with citizens, bUsiness
owners, and guests, one consistent theme has been... "the delays
and congestion experienced at the four way is unacceptab=e". It
detracts from and often negates the guest experience, whic~: Is not
good if we ir.tend to remain competitive as a world ciass resort.
Consequently, we have been trying to reso~ve this situat-c^.
Your proposal to relocate the off ramps has beer. ;,onsidered
previously as just one of over 20 oth2r ideas since tre early
1980's to address the traffic congesticn problem at zhe Main Vail
four way stop. The estimated cost to do this particular prcject is
$4-6 million.
After researching and looking at mar.y possible sclu*icns, we
determined the roundabout offers the most cost efiective
alternative for the necessary capacity and circulation imprcvemenrs
needed to address the congestion problem. We also recognize that
many Americans have not had positive experiences ir. traffic
circles. It's different from our driving norm. Of cc,=1ze this
means change which equals resistance. itie believe tr_aY drivers,
regardless of where they come from, car. learn to navigate this
intersection safely and efficiently, even in the winter.
Frankly, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) does not
consider this intersection a high priority in the overall scheme of
highway improvement projects across the state. CDQT prev-Lously
allocated $1.9 million in 1988 to construct the ramp and stoti -ight
improvements, which subsequently the Town of Vail rejectec. The
reality of the current situation is that if we, as a c=:-^ur.ity,
want to improve this intersection, we will have to fund 'Lt.
You mentioned to me when you visited, thdt Australia was ~~:~oving
roundabouts as fast as possible. On the other hand, =rance and
Norway are installing them as fast as they can. We wou~d 'ike to
talk to anyone in Australia that you think might be able to give us
the "why" for their removal and the "what" that replaces them.
I would also like to extend an invitaticn to meet with you to
discuss this project with Larry ou:- Public Works D4.r2ctor,
and Greg Hall, our Town Engineer, if you think it would be
beneficial. Just let me know.
Again, thanks for your interest in this project.
Sincerely,
