Apparently, the store is state-of-the- art and he would like to show it to the Council as an example of what could be built in Vail. Since he has made this offer, I feel that it is important to pass the request on to Council for your information. Staff has discussed the idea of a tour and believes that it would not be appropriate to organize a Council tour to see one development. Other developers on the short list have developments in the state and would probably like to show the Council the quality of their work. Unless the Council is interested in touring existing projects of all short listed Developers, staff does not believe it is appropriate to organize a tour to one. If any of you are planning personal trips to Denver, Boulder or El Jebel, and would like to see examples of the developers work, please contact me and I will be able to provide you with directions to their proj ects. f:\everyone\andy\commous\counci(.421 v .

TOV URGE5 RESPONiSIBLE VIYASTE MAPVAGEnAEN~ ~O AVO0D CQIVFRONTATION VNITFI BEARS (Vail)--1lVith the winter hibernation season ending any day now for the region's black bear population, the Town of Vail is reminding residents and businesses to do their part in making trash and garbage inaccessible to the bears and other wildlife. VVith hundreds of bear sighting reports in Vail last season, Paul Reeves, the town's environmental health officer, says the 1995 season could be even higher unless the community.steps up measures to "animal proof" their garbage. "The bears should begin emerging from their dens in the next week or so," said Reeves. "Once that happens, they tend to move to the lower elevations for warmer temperatures; however, they can't eat for a few weeks until their digestive systems become active again." After that, Reeves said, the bears will wander about looking for food and a suitable place to stay. In the past, numerous bears have been attracted to neighborhood dumpsters and garbage cans for food. Reeves says it's a dangerous mix. "Due to the new policies adopted by the Colorado Division of Vl/ildlife, bears will be destroyed if they're found to cause problems within a residential area," he said. (more) Bears/Add 1 . "We all need to take responsibility to protect our natural resources." One of the best and easiest ways to prevent bears and other animals from getting into your garbage is to delay taking your trash to the curb until the morning of collection, Reeves says. Also, Reeves has some drawings illustrating ways to construct your own bear proof structure, in addition to information on vendors who manufacture "bear proof" garbage containers. With help from the Division of Wildlife, the town has purchased five commercial bear proof containers and will be placing them in several parks in the next few weeks. The locations, at Stephen's Park, Ford Park, Pirate Ship Park and Bighorn Park were selected based on the frequency of bear activity, Reeves said. The containers will be designated for park use only. "If the containers become over burdened with too much waste, they may not close properly," Reeves said. "If a bear gets into one of these containers just once, they'll become determined to get into it again." For more information on bear proofing efforts, contact Reeves at 479-2333, or Bill Andree with the Colorado Division of Wildlife at 926-4424. # # # aW) _ S W Pams'uI iW. rsodaQ 4DL-a o DIC3 si. ui . aM 'uon6''neA W2unTuzA 2unuow Xepm3eC a~wac m,.I - quadsw na= kBULidS .5l1 c~ L~~~flr~ oo4op__. _ J(C; ~iS` tvtu°t,~ ' ~ rw F at,a,d~, UU } ~ rAse April 20, 1995 ~ .S r :d Aprll 27 , Counity b0orwS t 'rogram, together with bureau ~ ~ ~ ~ he District Attorney's ~ tourism ~ 27. ,gram at 4 p.m. at the Enterprise staf/report Johnson said bureau representatives ~ vd honoring victims of _ After making it clear Eagle County indicated they wanted him to attend °ment agencies will be had no interest in funding a marketing simply because they valued non-flnan- ~ 1c of the community's ; effort by the Vail Valley Tourism and cial input by the county. f ' Convention Bureau, Commissioner "It is the broken promise that bothers ` °d APri123'29• James Johnson is miffed that such a me," he said. request was recently made.

GUIDIPG PRIPlClPiES as revised by particapants at the Colorado Leadership Summit on Smart Growth and Development 1) Our vision and the procass we take to qet there should fullv develop the human potential of all our cifizens We must strive to make our communities places vyhere all kids and adults can fully develop their human capacities - their minds and bocies. We should work together to ensure that strong families and communities, as vuell as great educational opportunities, cultural resources, good jobs, adequate food, clothing and health care are available for all of our citizens. Colorado communi6es must sustain and enhance the lives of families and indviduals today and for the future. 2) We need to enhance the quaiitv of our placs. IAfe must idantify and empha.size both the physical and the human elements of our communities that are important to us. We must make our communities more livable by keeping crime off our strBets, making all our neighbortioods attractive, protec6ng our natural resouroes and celebrating the magnificence of our setting. We also must cultivate an ethic of community, preseiving towms and neighbofioods vdhere wre know and care for each other, where we respect cultural and ethnic dversity and the value of the environment, and where a child can grow tp writh a healthy body and healthy values. 3) At the local and regional level we should better coordtnate growth planrinq with the provision oi services such as scnoois water, infrastructure and transportation. A more cooperative effort between govemments, communities and the private sector to make sure services accompany growth wrill guarantee the provision of services for new development, avoid duplication and . inefficient use of services, ailow for the fairer ailocation of the cost of development, account for norFfiscal costs of develcpment, . help encourage urtian in-fill and ciscourage sprawi, and allow us to preserve cherished arBas we may not want to develop. Better coordination locally and regionally will also make it easier to plan for the long-term, increase citizen participation and enhance our sense of community. 4) We need to emand the omortunities - such as better iobs education, housinq and health care - that result from arowth, and hela Coloradans take advantaQe of those opportunities. Economic dsvelopment can and should bring many benefits to Colorado. Cleariy, affordable housing, improved education, better healtfi and expanded job choices ought to be among the measurable results of growth in Colorado. Just as cleariy, growth should generate increased culturai and recreational opportunities for Colorado citizens. To the extent possible, smart growth must strengthen the identity of Colorado's diverse neighborhoods, communities and regions. We must ernpower local govemments to attract and help create 'good° growth, artd we must help Colorado residents - indudng louu and moderate income residents - receive the benefits rasulting from growth. 5) We need to provide the structures so that we can effecbvelv make the decisions that need to be made within each communitv, region and the state. We must make decisions as locaily as it is pcusible for them to be effective. Therefore, we need to identify more ways to sLopat regionai and locai priorities while simultaneousfy assuring a positive response to tha crucial statewride issues of air quality, transportation, telecommunications, and waier quality. We need to foster collabor-ative and supportive relationships at every level of decision-malting, by maiting govemmental structures more flexible, reducing institutional bartiers to cooperation and input, creating more onportunities for ciuzens to be involved, cultivating partnerships beta+een dusrent gore;rrr,ents and the private and non-pront sectors, ennpowering grass-roots activism, and taking into aabunt overiatping areas of cammerciai or ecological interests. 6) We musi con;inuousiv reform our tax, revenue and teguiatorv frameworfc. Without creating an unpredictable regulatory environment, we must consiantly rethink our tax and regulaton/ svucture. Fees, licwses, permits, regulatians such as zoning, taxes and tax revenue, shoufd erxourage and empower - not impede - state, regionai and local erforts to provide services, as weil as manage resourc,es and plan for infraswcture, telecommunicarions and land use. We aiso musi encourage non-regulatory aoproaches sucn as coilaboraave decision-making, faciiitation and negoiiation to fasier caoperaabn and cialague. among public, private secior and community groups regarding grovmih initiatives. 7) We need to oroteci enhanca and cromote the vaiue of our public lands our coen soaces cur raiurat resources, our wildlife, ourgarCS, our recreanonai eoportunities and cur historicai faciiities. We musi take oe+sonai and ccmmunity responsibiiity for ensuring that growth supoorts and faciiitates [he proiection and ennancement or Cclorado's puolic assets. They enrich our fives.

Agricultural lands are not merely open space. We must aclcnowiedge the importance of Colorado's agriculture lands and communities to the state's economy, as weil as the benefits that go beyond the primary purpose of farms and ranches such as aesthetics, cultural contributions and wildlife habitat The development of a sustainable agricultural economy should be given emphasis in state, regional and local growth strategies. 9) We need to protect Colorado from pollution. The health of our citizens and our environment is vital to our high cuality of life and our economic strength. Indvidual citizens, community groups, government and the private sector must collaborate to reduce and prevent poilution and protect and conserve our natural resources, without dsregardng local circumstances or dsrespecting private property rights. 10) We need to cantinue to develop economicallv. We need a business climate that fosters quality jobs in stable or growing industries like telecommunications, promotes growth in areas that want it, and that allows us to withstand boom and bust cycles. Smart growth is good business: long-range planning can help strike a balance between Colorado's "haves" and 'have-nots,° achieve economic dversity throughout tfie state and ensure a stable economy for many years into the future. 11) We must alwavs be cnnscious of the need for sustainahili . We must meet the economic, social artci enviror?mPntal demands of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. We must also worlc to mitigate the problems related to past actions. 12) We need to foster a sustainable svstem of water manaqement in tenns of treatment storaQe and the regulation and detertnination of usaae. Water is the most important resource in Colorado, as it applies to growth and the environment We also need to develop a conservation ethic as a state, within communities and as indviduais. 13) Smart arowth must be an inclusive and cooaerative process. Direct citizen input at all levels of decision-making is crucial to viable growth management Education and information about all the costs and benefits of growth as well as the needs and valuas of dfferent communities around the state, must be available. We also must remember that the private and nort-pnofit sectors can be very effective partners with govemment, and planning decisions should be made with as much input, support and collaboration as possible. This is a cooperative venture, so we should share data and experiences, leam from each others' mistakes and share in each others' sucxesses. 14) We all must be ccnscious of our riahts and resoonsibilities as indviduals. Planning decisions always must honor and respect private property rights and the need for compensation of ail individuals, inclucing businesspeople, farmers and ranchers. At the same time, we all must take responsibility for the impacts our private actions and dacisions have on other inaviduals, communities or shared resources. ~ TO ~l 0~' - 4VAIL 75 South Frontage Iload Vail, Colorado 81657 970 479-21 DO FAX-970-479-2157 FOR DMIIAED9ATE RELEASE April 18, 1995 Contact: Paui Reeves, 479-2333 Environmental Health Officer BUS9NESSES JO@N TOWN OF VAiL 91V SPONSORSHIP OF RECYCL9IVG CONTABNERS FOR EARTH DAaY Media iVote: A photo of the "unveiling ceremony" featuring sponsor representatives is available by calling Suzanne Silverthorn in the Community Information Office at 479-2115. (Vail)--In recognition of Earth Day 1995, the Town of Vail this week has installed a set of public recycling containers in the,Crossroads area of Vail Village. The containers have been funded through a cooperative effort with the Vail Board of Realtors and several local businesses. The companies, Coldwell Banker Timberline Real Estate, Vail Realty & Rental Management and The Prudential Gore Range Properties, have donated $400 each to cover construction of the Crossroads collection site. The project was developed by town environmental health officer Paul Reeves to stimulate interest and participation within the town's pedestrian core. The town is in the process of creating a comprehensive waste management plan to address other environmental issues valleywide. "The idea to install these containers was initially brought to our attention by members of the public," Reeves said.__"There are a lot of people who go out for lunch or a snack vuho want the opportunity to recycle some of the packaging materials their food comes in," he said. The containers have been constructed by the town's Public Works Department. (more) TOV Earth Day/Add 1 There are three compartments, one for plastic, glass and aluminum; the second for newspaper; and the third for trash. Crews from the Town of.Vail and We Recycle will collect and sort the materials. "The sponsoring businesses should be commended for their civic support," Reeves said. `This partnership enables the town to expand the campaign beyond our own dollars." Reeves is hoping to generate sponsors for two additional containers, one for Lionshead and a second for the Village. Businesses interested in establishing - containers in other areas are asked to contact Reeves at 479-2333 for sponsorship information. # # # se dtik TOiff OF VAIL - 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970 479-2100 FAX-970-479-2157 MED8A qpVSSpRy April 18, 1995 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn; 479-2115 Community Information Office TO!!'S ADOP7=A-PATH PROGRa4M OFF T0 APOSITIVE STAEiT Seven groups have now joined the Town of Vail's new Adopt-a-Path program, an effort aimed at keeping the town's trails and bike paths free of liter.

ACCESSINC; VAIL: ATOUR OF LIONSHEAD AND VAIL VILLAGE Wheelchairs will be used by representatives of the Accessibility Partnership tomorrow (4-19) during a tour of public and private areas in Lionshead and Vail Village. The tour will run from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and is intended to help the Accessibility Partnership Team get a hands-on feel of what it's like to enter a building and travel through the streets of Vail Village and Lionshead in a wheelchair. The team will gather information which will help them find ways to better assist individuals needing accessible services and programs available in the Vail area. The Accessibility Partnership, with representation from the Town of Vail, Vail Associates and the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, has been created to allow these organizations to share available resources to comply with the 1990 American Disabilities Act in making Vail more accessible. The team will implement an accessibility sign program, training programs for TOV and VVTCB employees and continued townwide improvements to facilities making them reasonably accessible. VA's training program is already in place. The ADA law mandates that not only governments, but private businesses, too, make "reasonable" accommodations necessary to allow the disabled to get jobs, purchase goods and enjoy recreation. For a schedule of tomorrow's tour, or for more information, contact Michelle Caster, the town's American Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator, at 479-2114, or VA's Judi Anderson-Wright, coordinator of Resources for Individuals with Disabilities, at 479-3072.

The annual event will be the largest pipe band gathering in the Western U.S., drawing more than 800 pipers and drummers, plus 100 or more highland dancers. About 2,000 participants are expected and another 5,000 to 10,000 spectators. Vertical Marketing President Tom Britz made a formal request to the Council for in-kind services from the town to include: increased bus service; assistance with festival setup and cleanup at Ford Park; and increased security. The Council offered support for the effort and agreed to assist with the in-kind request to ensure the event is presented in a first-class fashion. For more information, contact Assistant Town iVianager Pam Brandmeyer at 479-2113. --Open Space Zoning Changes Following a site visit to selected town-owned properties, the Council continued its review of a list of 16 parcels which have been identified by various planning studies for reclassification within the town's Land Use Plan for open space. The process includes amendments to the Land Use Plan, and as a second phase, consideration of down- zoning about 40 parcels. The recommended Land Use Plan changes will be presented to the Planning and Environmental Commission on April 24. The reclassification will reduce development potential on the parcels. On a related matter, the Council has scheduled a discussion for the May 2 work session on a plan to require a vote of the people to change the future use of lands designated as open space. For details, contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Mortgage Guarantee Program After hearing an update from Mark Ristow of FirstBank of Vail, the Council enthusiastically agreed to move forward with the town's new mortgage guarantee program. A resolution will be prepared for the May 2 Council meeting to formally launch the program, which will accomplish two goals: 1) solve the down payment problem many current renters encounter; and 2) leverage $2.5 million in lending funds (more) ~ TOV Highlights/Add 1 with only $250,000 of Town of Vail funds. Here's how it will work: FirstBank has agreed to commit up to $2.5 million over two years to fund up to 80 percent of the purchase price of homes of $200,000 or less within the Town of Vail. The Town of Vail, in turn, will supply the bank with a cash collateral pledge for 10 percent of the loan. The remaining 10 percent will be provided by the purchaser as a down payment. The TOV pledge reduces the down payment for home buyers from the conventional 20 percent, to 10 percenf. The homes will be permanently deed-restricted as employee housing units with an annual appreciation cap of 3 percent per year. Ristow said the bank will liberalize its qualification criteria by allowing up to 45 percent of a borrower's income to be applied to service debt, as opposed to the more conventional standard of 36 to 38 percent. The loans will be under a FIRM5 program, or a fixed initial rate mortgage for the first five years, then an adjustable rate for the remaining period. The origination fee will be reduced by the bank from 1 percent to a half percent. The program will be aVailable to qualified buyers on a priority system. Individuals with the longest consecutive record of employment within the town's boundaries would have first priority, then individuals with the longest consecutive record of residency within the town, followed by individuals who reside and are employed outside the town boundaries, but within the Gore/Eagle valleys. Applicants also must be registered to vote in Vail (or make provisions to change voter registration for those living outside Vail . once the loan is approved). If a buyer defaults on the Ioan, the Town of Vail could buy the property back to preserve the home's deed-restriction status. Council members said the innovative program will be a valuable option for future home buyers at Vail Commons. Once in place, the town will work with other lending institutions to create similar programs. For details, contact Town Manager Bob McLaurin at 479-2105, or Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Ten Year Financial Presentation in Preparation Update The Council reviewed a 10-year budget forecast prepared by Finance Director Steve Thompson. The document, which shows minimal growth in revenues over the next 10 years, will adequately fund current programs but won't support new programs, Thompson said. For a copy of the forecast, or for more information, contact Thompson at 479-2116. --Council Reports Paul Johnston r.eported about a meeting of the Berry Creek Recreational Authority regarding the Berry Creek Fifth property in Edwards. The authority talked about potential development of a day care facility on the site, in addition to increased equestrian use. The sketch plan currently allows up to 91 units on 16.5 acres. The plan also allows for recreation and open space on the 105-acre parcel. The land is owned by the Town of Vail and six other local governmental entities.

The Council voted 5-1 (Strauch against) on first reading to modify the town's animal control ordinance. The most controversial change includes a town wide expansion of the leash law. Current regulations require dogs to be leashed in designated areas only, including Vail Village, Lionshead, bike paths and recreational areas. To compensate for the town wide leash law, the new ordinance would allow for designated free-play areas in which dogs could recreate off-leash. During public discussion of the . proposed new ordinance, Blondie Vucich, director of the Eagle Valley Humane Society, told the Council her board endorses the modification, calling an expanded leash law "absolutely essential for the safety and well-being of animals." An opposing view was presented by resident Tom Talbot, who worked as an animal control officer here in the early 1980s. Talbot said the change would be unfair and unrealistic because existing animal control regulations are not being enforced. An idea to create a certification process to allow dogs to "opt out" of a town wide leash law was dropped from consideration due to complexities of the issue as researched by Town Attorney Tom Moorhead. Other modifications contained in the new animal control ordinance include additional protection, enforcement and penalty actions related to dangerous dogs; regulation of horse-drawn carriages; and an accelerated citation process to handle barking dog complaints. The Council will consider the ordinance for final approval at its May 2 evening meeting. The town contracts with Eagle County for animal control services.

If rezoned, the water district board intends to sell fhe former Gore Creek water treatment plant site, located at 967 Vail Valley Drive, to raise funds to complete a $3.5 million capital improvement project over the next two years. Operation of the Gore Creek plant was discontinued in 1985 when wells at the golf course came on line. Much of the discussion yesterday centered on the Council's desire to work with the water district in creating a mechanism to bury overhead utility lines near the property as the land transfers from public ownership to private.

Frontage Road , Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Bob: You have asked us to advise you whether the Town can issue tax-exempt bonds to assist in the financing of the development of property owned by the Town in West Vail. You have indicated that the Town has solicited proposals from private developers to develop the property. The development will include both commercial and residential uses. The residential uses will be both owner occupied as well as rental. ' Pursuant to Title 29, Article 3, Part 1, C.R.S., the Town may issue revenue bonds to finance projects for private persons including commercial or business enterprises and residential facilities for low- and middle-income persons intended for use as the sole residence by the owners or intended occupants. We believe that such revenue bonds can be issued without voter approval under Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("Amendment 1") because they. are financial obligations ofprivate persons and not ofthe Town. Section 29-3-106, C.R.S., provides that interest on such bonds is exempt from Colorado income tax. Prior to 1986, municipalities and counties could issue bonds, the interest on which was exempt from federal income tax for the types of improvements that may be constructed on the property by the developers. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 substantially limited the purposes for which bonds could be issued to benefit private persons. In effect, federal tax law now provides that the following bonds are "private activity bonds": (1) (a) more than 10% of the proceeds of which are used in a trade or business of any person other than a state or local government and (b) more than 10% of the payment of debt service of which is secured by property used in a trade or business, or derived from payments related to property used in a trade or business, or (2) more than 5% of the proceeds of which are loaned to one or more nongovernmental persons. Pursuant to Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), interest on private activity bonds is taxable unless an exemption is available under the Code. . ~ Sherman & Howard L.L.C. Mr. Robert McLaurin Town Manager Town of Vail April 13, 1995 Page 2 There is no exemption available for a private activity bond issued for commercial projects under the Code. There are exemptions available for qualified residential rental projects or mortgage revenue bonds. Qualified Residential Rental Project Bonds. In order to qualify under the Code, the project must, at a1i times during the "qualined project period", meet eitner the 20-50 or the 40-60 unit set-aside test that the Town (on behalf of the developer) would elect. The qualified project period begins on the day on which 10% of the units in the project are occupied and ends, generally, on the later of the date which is 15 years after the date on which 50% of the units are occupied or the date on which no tax-exempt private activity bonds for the project remain outstanding. Under the 20-50 test, at least 20% of the units must be occupied by individuals whose income is 50% or less of the. area median gross income, and under the 40-60 test, at least 40% of the units must be occupied by individuals whose income is 60% or less of the area median gross income. The latest median gross income figure released by HLJD for the area, i.e., for Eagle County, is $50,600 for a family of four. Individual and area median incomes are adjusted by family size. This works as follows, for example, for the 20-50 test. The income limit for a family of four would be 50% of the area median ($25,300); the income limit for a family of three would be 45% of the area median ($22,770); the income limit for a family of two would be 40% of the area median ($20,240); and the income limit for a single individual would be 35% of the area median ($17,710). Similar 10% reductions would be made for purposes of the 40-60 set-aside. A qualified residential rental project can be a"mixed use project" that has, for example, commercial office or retail space. Under those circumstances, the Code simply requires that the costs of the m'viced-use facility be allocated according to a reasonable method that properly reflects the proportionate benefits to the residential units and the nonqualifying property. These types of bonds are also subject to certain Code requirements generally applicable to private activity bonds, such as maturity limits, land acquisition limits, costs of issuance limits and the rule requiring that the project be available on a regular basis for "general public use". There are also a number of other rules that apply specifically to qualified residential rental project bonds, such as what type of arrangement gualifies as a residential "unit",that can be discussed in the context of a particular proposed project. Qualified Mortgage Bonds. In order for tax-exempt bonds to be issued for the purposes of providing financing for owner-occupied residences, the issue must meet the requirements briefly summarized below: • Shell°Il7111aIl71 & HoVYalCdL.L.C. Mr. Robert McLaurin Town Manager Town of Vail April 13, 1995 Page 3 (a) First-time homebuver requirement. The mortgagor cannot have had a present ownership interest in his or her principal residence at any time during the previous three-year period. (b) Income limits. The family income for. a mortgagor cannot exceed 115% of the applicable median income for families of three or more, or 100% of the applicable median income for families of fewer than three. The "applicable" median income is the higher of the statewide median income or the area media.n income. As noted above, the area median income for Eagle County is $50,600, which is higher than the statewide median income. Therefore, the income limit a family of three or more is $58,190, and the income limit for a family of fewer than three is $50,600. (c) Purchase price limits. The acquisition cost of a residence cannot exceed 90% of the average area purchase price. This limit is calculated separately for single-family detached houses and for duplexes, and for new residences and for previously occupied residences. The average area purchase price limits applicable to Eagle County are $174,062 for a new residence and $132,830 for a previously occupied residence. This translates into the following purchase price limits: $156,655 ' for a new single-family detached house; $119,547 for a previously occupied single- family detached house; $176,397 for a new duplex; and $121,148 for a previously occupied duplex. (d) Residence requirement. The residence must be expected to become the principal residence of the mortgagor within a reasonable time after the financing is provided (i.e., no second or vacation homes). There are a number of other special rules that apply to these types of bonds, but the requirements listed above are the primary progammatic limits. As we discussed, condominiums may be financed, but the rating agencies may impose limits on condo financings as a condition to assigning an investment grade rating to the bonds. Mortgage financing may be provided in particular developments, again subject to rating agency limits. However, if bond proceeds are used to provide construction financing in a development, the bonds probably would be nonqualified private activity bonds used in the trade or business of the developer. A.s we also discussed, the Town would need to have an allocation of private activity bond volume cap to issue either qualified residential rental project bonds (unless the bonds were qualified 501(c)(3) bonds) or qualified mortgage bonds. The Department of Local Affairs will award , Sherman & Howard L.L.c. Mr. Robert McLaurin - Town Manager Town of Vail April 13, 1995 Page 4 the remainuig volume cap following the Septembei 15 relinquishment date. Applications for an award of volume cap will be due in August. We would be happy to assist you with the application process. It may also be possible to issue bonds for some portion of the project which will not be private activity bonds. One approach would be for the Town or the Housing Authority to issue bonds to finance the rental housing. (No election would be required under Amendment 1 if we can conclude that the activity is an enterprise.) Another approach would be to form a nonprofit corporation to issue bonds on behalf of the Town to finance the rental project., If the corporation, the Housing Authority or the Town owns and operates the rental housing, then the bonds would not be private activity bonds. This is similar to financings done by Eagle County and the Town of Avon. It also may be possible for the Town to issue bonds to construct housing which it owns and then sell such housing to private parties and pay off the construction financing. This would not provide any long term financing for the project. We hope this information is helpful. Please call us if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, 1 Dee P. Wisor - , ~ Stanley M.

Bob McLaurin Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Mr. McLaurin: The purpose of this letter is to thank the Town of Vail, and specifically Ms. Susan H. Boyd, Assistant Director at the Vail Public Library, for getting me out of a jam while on vacation. You see, I was in desperate need of a laser printer to produce the necessary quality of document my business letter required. It was also imperative that the letter be mailed on that specific day. After visiting three print shops and calling three more, I learned that the only place that has an IBM compatible laser printer is the Vail Public Library. After describing my urgent situation (the need to print a letter, then get to the slopes where 12 inches of fresh powder-had fallen the night before), Ms. Boyd was very accommodating. In today's world of ever changing technology, it is very challenging to stay up to speed. However, I feel that the library, whether in Vail or Houston, should stay as close to the cutting edge as is financially possible. I was very happy to find Ms. Boyd's kindness, as well as her laser printer. Both made my annual ski trip to VaiU Beaver Creek much more enjoyable. Sincerely, ~ Brad Log c: Susan H.
