Great people to work with. Good work environment." "Town's willingness to try and keep improving." "The location - Va.il in general. The health benefits are excellent for the price I pay. NTy flexible schedule works well." "Freedom to make decisions without having someone looking over my shoulder." B. V6hat I really dislike about the TOV is: "Lack of advancement opportunities.

Specific problems include: Heating , Ventilation Cleanliness Lighting Overcrowded No windows G. General comments: "For the most part, I believe the TOV is a great place to work. We need improvement in pay scales; and need the ability to add more employees to help with the workload." "I think the Town is genuinely trying to make changes. I want it to keep going. I want the Dept. heads to take TQM and run with it to make it work."

TVormally, the organiza.tion-wide results of the multiple choice questions are shared with employeas, along with a°'thank-you" for their participation. Management's evaluation, responses, and action steps should be communicated reasonably soon thereafter to the employees. ~ Management should take any negative results in as constructive a manner as possible. Avoiding defensiveness, blaffie placing, and "witch hunting" are most important in achieving positive resalts from the survey. ~ Tais suavey is only a"snagshot°° of what participants thought on the day they coffipleted Yhe survey.

Andy Knudtsen Touvn of Vail 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Remaining Vail Commons negotiations matters Dear Tom and Andy: We are very encouraged by the progress made in the last two uveeks in the negotiations for the land lease for the Vail Commons project. From Tom's voice mail message and a telephone conference with Andy last vveek, vve understand the remaining unresolved items are, and our input is, as fo!lows: 1. DUE DATES FOR REIVTAL PAYMEiVTS. Our original proposal was for annual payments, in arrears. Council suggested quarterly payments, in advance. We proposed instead quarterly, in arrears. We were surprised when Council rejected that compromise, since it reflected a signifcant move from our original proposal, and since Council's proposal, for three months in advance at a time, is especially aggressive. We suspect that Council is looking at this issue as perhaps a matter of principal, whereas for us the timing of cash flows is integral to the perFormance of the internal rate of return model which we used to build the proposal. Advancing the timing of any payments causes that financial model to deteriorate. In this particular issue, every payment for the 49 year term of the lease is being advanced in time. Thus, there is a dollar cost to us in this change which may not initially be apparent to Council. Again as a compromise, we now propose monfhly payments in advance. We trust that, when weighing the sum of the concessions v?re've made in these negotiations, Council will keep in mind that this one also reduces our return on the project. ~ ~ \'J2. INCREASES IN BASE RENTALS OVER TIME. This is, for City Market, one of the two very serious issues remaining in these negotiations. We suspect that it remains unresolved because Counci) perhaps believes that the rents, over time, will. become a bargain for City Market as inflation reduces the value of the dollar. We concur that this is likely. However, we also suggest that this is appropriate, when considered as part of the entire package. The original RFP concept was that this project is much more than a land lease. Significant financial burdens for the developer were designed into that RFP, including the affordable housing, the day care or community center facility, the requirement that the store be disguised, the need for the parking structure, significant frontage road and other off-site improvements and the requirement that the developer manage to finance the project without ownership of the underlying ground. All of these represent additional costs which must somehow be recovered if the project is to be successful, and all are fixed, front-end costs to be incurred at the start of the project. Finally, it was- our understanding that these features of the project were non-negotiable, and that the underlying rental rate should reflect this situation. By definition, then, this project wouid not create market rate land rental revenues for the Town of Vail. The City Market proposal involves the largest total project investment (more than double what we spent for our new 53,000 sq. ft. store in the Roaring Fork Valley), and the highest annual rents. Together, these two characteristics of our proposal represent more financial risk than proposed by any other developer. In addition, we agreed that, if the sales vo4ume justified it, we would pay additional rents as a percentage of sales override. No other developer offered such potential for additional future rents. Thus, we made an aggressive offer that contains no relief for City Market if the market stays flat or weakens, and yet provides increased rentals for the Town if the market grows over time. We've recently heard suggestions that the percentage override offered was too "risky" for the Town, since safes growth may not occur, and override payments may not result. Such sentiment ignores the huge front-end investment in this project, which must be recovered by any developer. If the sales growth does not occur, the Town still . received the housing, the parking structure, the road improvements, the disguised store (with its sales tax benefits) and still retains ownership of the property. The fixed rental structure in such a low-sales growth environment is then critical to the economic viability of the developer. In summary, then, the "risk" here is not that the Town may not receive value for use of the land. It already gets that value in the design and cost of the project, in the added sales tax revenues and in the highest rental proposal from any developer. The true "risk" here is that, by adding another financial burden in the form of fixed rental increases, the project may at some future point become economically unstable. After committing to the fixed investment required by this project, City Market is very reluctant to add such additional risk (as would be any of the other developers, none of whom even came to the table with our amount of investment or rents). d 0 ~ 3. "GO-DARK" PROVISION. This is the second very serious issue remaining for City fViarket. We understand that Council is sensitive to fihe political ramifications of a project which may "go darbc" at some future date, and that Cou.ncil desires the ability to promptly deal vvith that eventuality. However, there are very va(id economic reasons why this issue should be resolved with some compromise. We have heard comments that it is a default in many leases when the tenant stops operafing in the premises, and this is correct. However, those are invariably leases where the landlord ov?rns both fihe land and the improvements. "Go dark" provisions are absolutely unheard of in land leases. The reason for fihis is simple. Lenders are unders4andably wary of, any provision which mighf result in loss of their collateral. Thus, a"go dark" provision is a direct 4hreat to any financing effort. Consider the ramifications of a"go dark" provision to a lender. If the operations cease, the lender must not only begin foreclosure to take ownership of the premises, it must also find another operator to get the facility reopened. Until the foreclosure is finished, the lender cannot take possession, and thus has no right to install any replacement operator. When a"go dark" provision exists, and vvhen the time period for cure is anything less than a year, the lender will simply not have sufficient time to make this happen, even af a replacement operator can be found. Recognizing this, City iVlarket at first intended that the lease uvould have no "go dark" provision at all. Subsequent consideration of the political issues in the Town convinced us that we needed to make some provision for this remote possibility. Thus, we included the provision that a closure of 365 days constituted default, even though it added substantial new difficulty in arranging financing for the project. In other words, including this provision in fhe lease at all was a major concession by City Market. Council's suggestion that the 365 day "dark" period be reduced to 90 days would make frnancing the project an impossibility. No lender would accept such a short fuse on his opportuni4y to protect its collateral. When it became apparent to us that fihis was a significant issue to Council, City Market offered to shorten the "go dark" period in the early years of the lease term, recognizing that this might mean we could not finance the project at all until the early years of the lease term had passed. We believe that no developer could offer more in this circumstance, and vve again request that Council reconsider our last proposal on this matter. 4. ELIGIBILITY OF CITY fVIARKET EiVIPLOYEES TO PURCHASE HOUSING. We accept Council's argument that City Market employees will automatically be in the highest priority pool for eligibility, due to their status as employees in Vail, and we hereby remove the request for special consideration for these employees. e ? ~ 5. RENTAL FOR THE DAYCARE FACILITY. Our proposal has always been that a modest amount of rental would be charged for the day care facility. This was not an attempt to generate profits for the project, but instead a design to recover the ongoing real property tax, insurance and maintenance costs of operating the facility, and over time, the investment. It was new information to us last week to learn that the Town owns and leases other day care facilities for only nominal rents. We do not believe that the Town's plan here is to unduly enrich day care operators. We suspect that the low rentals charged to other operators, and requested by the Town for this project, simply reflect the Town's desire to create day care for residents at modest cost, and we intend to participate in achieving that goal. However, we also suspect that none of the Town's nominal rent arrangements has a 49 year term, and that the Town might agree with us that over time, day care could become an economically viable business. Accordingly, we propose the following: A. For the first 5 years of the lease term, the day care rentals shall not exceed the taxes, insurance and maintenance costs incurred by the owners. B. At the end of that 5 year term, if the Town is still committed to providing long term space to other day care operations at nominal cost, and if by virtue of waiting lists it is apparent that a day care need still exists, the rents for this day care facility will again be set at the amount described in A above for the next five years. This process will be repeated every five years thereafter. C. Even if, at the end of any five year period, the Town and the owners agree that sufficient day care space is then available, or that day care is then economically viable as a stand-alone business, the owners will never charge rentals for this space in excess of 50% of the rents then charged for the other non-residential space being rented to third parties in the project. D. At any time after the first ten years of the lease term, the owners would alternatively have the option of operating the licensed day care operation in this facility themselves. 6. DEED RESTRICTIONS FOR THE 18 CITY MARKET EMPLOYEE HOUSING RENTAL UNITS. We have consistently agreed that these units shall be deed restricted. Perhaps because of our unfamiliarity with other deed restriction arrangements in the area, we were unaware of the precise terms of such restrictions; specifically, that they included a formula for calculating maximum rentals, etc. We hereby request a complete package of that data for review. Many of our employees work less than 40 hours per week. We are especially interested in the definition of "full-time" emplo.yees. We also observe that, by including utilities in our rentals and by providing some units furnished, we may have different circumstances than do existing units so restricted. We will do this review quickly after receiving the materials. e 9 b+ - 1Ne look fonnrard to discussing these issues with you both, and Susan and Bob on Nionday morning. Very firuly yours, John L.

John Caldwell, City Market real estate director, responded to the town's requests with additional detail, and in some cases, counter proposals on: rent payment schedules; gross sales exclusions; use and administration of 18 (24 bedrooms) City Market employee housing units; residency eligibility waivers for up to three City Market management employees who qualify to purchase the for-sale housing; below-market rental rates for the day care center operator; procedures for negotiation at the end of the 49 year term of the lease; "dark period" schedules; extension of the residential land rental schedule to 99 years (which cuts the rent in half); payment of real estate taxes; water tap fees; and frontage road improvements. Also yesterday, in reviewing the prioritized categories for lottery selection of those in line to purchase the 53 housing units, the Council agreed to give higher priority to employers wanting to purchase a unit for employees of a Vail business than individuals who reside and are employed outside the Town of Vail boundaries, but who live within Eagle County. The categories, in priority order, are: 1) individuals with the longest consecutive record of employment within the Town of Vail boundaries; 2) individuals with the longest consecutive record of residency within the Town of Vail boundaries; 3) employers who may purchase a unit specifically for employees of a Vail business; and 4) individuals who reside and are employed outside the Town of Vail boundaries but inside Eagle County. The afternoon Vail Commons discussion concluded with a brief overview of a project to create design and site planning guidelines for the remainder of the West Vail commercial area. The work, to be conducfed this fall by Winston & Associates of Boulder, will include guidelines for pedestrian circulation, automobile circulation, bicycle connections, frontage road improvements, landscaping, residential elements and possible architectural treatments. The master planning document is intended to ~ (more) RECYCLEDPAPER ti Council Highlights/Add 1 help guide future commercial redevelopment in West Vail through greater cohesion and coordination between and among the various properties from the Vail das Schone Building on the east to the Wendy's property on the west. For more information on the Vail Commons project, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --TOV Parking Programs/Rates Hourly parking rates and programs for the 1995-96 ski season in the town's parking structures will remain unchanged from last year. However, the Council decided yesterday to modify its policies regarding the town's outlying parking programs at Ford Park and at the soccer field. To encourage more car pooling and/or increased use of regional transportation, the free parking program at Ford Park will require three occupants within the vehicle (up from two occupants last season) for the upcoming ski season. Also, the Council decided to extend the car pool policy to the soccer field. The Council directed staff to create a management plan to implement the new policies and to ensure fhe regional transportation system will be sufficient to handle employee work schedules. Upon the recommendation of Town IVlanager Bob McLaurin and Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel, the Council agreed to maintain the hourly fee schedule and free programs in the parking structures for another year. By maintaining fihe status quo another season, the town will be able to test effectiveness of a coordinated effort to build business during traditional non peak periods; McLaurin said. Vail merchants who participated in a survey of 12 parking options indicated support for retaining the free 90 minute program and retention of the 6 to 9 p.m. free evening parking program, in particular. There was minimal support for summer parking fees. The parking structures handle about 500,000 transactions during ski season, or about 19,000 vehicles per day. Of those, 47 percent are free transactions. The average length of stay is five to seven hours and the average fee is between $7 and $8. For a copy of the survey results, contact the Community Information Office at 479- 2115. While hourly rates will remain the same this season, debit cards will be increased from $4.75 to $5 per day. Blue passes will be sold for $525, while gold passes will cost $1,100. The town's parking rates for the 1995-96 ski season will begin on Nov. 22 and will continue to April 14, 1996. --Open Space Charter Amendment The Council reviewed an ordinance to amend the Town of Vail Charter to protect designated open space in preparation for the evening meeting (see evening briefs for details). --PEC Report During a staff update on the most recent Planning and Environmental Commission meeting, the Council was informed of a request to table until Nov. 7 a request for a major amendment to a Special Development District to allow for expansion of the Glen Lyon office building. (more) e ; Council Highlights/Add 2 --Information Update The Council declined a request by the Vail Valley Foundation to place the 1989 World Alpine Ski Championship monument in the middle of the south roundabout. Instead, the Council directed staff to look for other, more suitable locations. During a progress report, Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel indicated the Main Vail intersection will likely be closed on Sept. 19 and 20 to allow for the final layer of asphalt on the roundabout. Grafel has asked the contractor to research if the paving can be done at. night to reduce the public's inconvenience. The Council authorized spending the remainder of the May town wide clean-up budget, about $1,800, to help pay for dumpster fees for a special clean-up in the Matterhorn neighborhood. --The Council recommended Town Manager Bob McLaurin for appointment to the Colorado fVlunicipal League policy committee. • --Council Reports Paul Johnston said he was preparing to move forward with announcement of a new youth award. Johnston also asked about the status of an education campaign on safeguarding trash from bears and other animals. iVierv Lapin suggested the town apply for GOCO state lottery grants. At Lapin's suggestion, the Council also agreed to spend up to $2,000 in Council contingency funds to hire the town's bond counsel to research the possibility of providing low- interest financing for those wishing to purchase the 53 for-sale residential units at Vail Commons. For more information, contact Town fVlanager Bob NicLaurin at 479-2105. Tom Steinberg reported on a recent meeting of Northwest Colorado Council of Governments in which State Rep. Russell George of Rifle presented a growth-relief bill that would provide financial relief to political entities wrho are impacted by unusual growth in an adjacent political entity. Sybill Navas gave an update on the Channel 5 board of directors meeting. Following the update, Council members expressed interest in increased utilization of the television station to communicate with the community. Peggy Ostertoss indicated continued interest by ESPN to film an extreme sport television series in Vail. John Garnsey of the Vail Valley Foundation will be asked to give an update on the project. . Osterfoss also indicated the TOV-VA Task Force is making progress with the first, integrated attempt to try to move visitors to the non peak seasons.

The Council approved on consent agenda a request for modifications to conditions of approval of a previously granted sign variance request for Curtin-Hill Sports, located at 254 Bridge St. For details, contact Randy Stouder in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Jim Shearer Award of Appreciation Former Vail Town Councilman Jim Shearer was presented with an award for his three- plus years of public service. Shearer, who was forced to resign from office when he could no longer find housing in Vail, said he hoped his predicament would send a loud and clear message to other local governments to share in the responsibility of providing. affordable housing. --Vail Commons Discussion An update was presented by Town Attorney Tom Moorhead on the status of contract negotiations with the Vail Commons development team. Moorhead summarized discussions which occurred at the afternoon work session. He also read an open letter from Councilman Merv Lapin indicating Lapin's decision to refrain from participating in the Vail Commons discussion. T.hen, project manager Andy Knudtsen of the town's Community Development Department announced City Market's willingness to fund construction of a center turn lane on the frontage road from the Vail Commons site to . the West Vail interchange to help mitigate traffic impacts. A timetable for design and site plan guidelines for the remainder of the West Vail commercial corridor was presented. The criteria for the lottery for the for-sale housing was also presented. The discussion ttien turned to an update on a proposal to combine day care and a community center on the site by adding a second story to the 3,000 sq. ft. day care center (which would be housed on top of the supermarket). Mayor Peggy OsterFoss called the concept a good idea. However, the second story proposal exceeds the site's maximum height requirement of 38 feet, she said. A variance would be difficult because it would require a physical hardship. Therefore, Osterfoss said, an interim solution'might be to share a community meeting room within the day care center while a proposal to add a community room to the proposed West Vail fire station is pursued. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said three sites are currently under consideration for the fire station. A site recommendation is anticipated within 90 days. Or, if the community is more interested in a pavilion facility in a park-like setting, Osterfoss said the Council (more) . a < e . Council Highlights/Add 4 was willing to discuss a more appropriate site for such a facility. She referenced some of the town parks as better locations for a pavilion than the commercial area of West Vail. Several members of the public participated in the Vail Commons discussion. Cindy Steitz of West Vail suggested the need for a community building or recreafional center, citing such amenities in. smaller communities, including Rifle, Rangely and iVleeke,r. iViartin Waldbaum expressed concer-n about the risk to the tovvn if City Market . defaul4s on its construction loan, while Lars Burghardt said a new grocery store, needing more employees, wrill put a crunch on an already tight housing situation in Vail. . Meanwhile, Housing Authority Chairman Jen Wright encouraged to Council to push ahead with the project--grocery store and all-=noting the most importanfi aspect of the development is the affordable housing componen4. 1/Vright also urged the Council to reduce or eliminate residential land lease fees to help reduce a home buyer's monthly mortgage payment. For more information on the Vail Gommons development, contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Departmen4 at 479-2138. --Charter Amendment Ordinance to Protect Open Space The Council voted 6-0 to approve an ordinance on first reading which would amend the Town of Vail Charter to protect designated open space. After second reading approval, the charter amendment ordinance will be submitted to Vail voters in the iVov. 21 municipal election. If approved by voters, the amendmen4 would create a three- member Open Space Commission and require a vote of the people befiore designated properties could be sold, leased, or have the zoning changed to a non open space zone district. Properties would be placed in a designated open space status through Council action as recommended by.the Open Space Commission. The Commission members would include fihe town manager, one town council member and one member from the Planning and Environmental Commission. The action essentially freezes zoning on certain designated properties in perpetuity unless, and until, a majority of the Town of Vail voters decide to remove the designated open space classification. The voter approval provision is recommended in the town's Comprehensive Open Lands Plan adopted in 1994. For additional details, contact Russell Forrest in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Resolution Amending the Town of Vail Deferred Compensation Plan The Council voted 6-0 to adopt a resolution amending the definition of employees eligible to participate in the deferred compensation plan.

Our history is brief but I andcipate a bright future based on what is accomplished to date. . I'd like to rirst mention your Board of D'uector's and their commitment to lead, shape and advocate this fledgling organization. 11us group of leaders has not merely maintained, but increased, the energy and enthusiasm that coalesced at their retreat and inaugural Directors' meedng in April. Their attendance at monthly meetings is nearly perfect; all Directors serve on at least one committee and most serve on two. These are working committees that meet often, conduct tiealthy debate and make solid recommendations to the full Board regarding all aspects of the strategic direction of CTTA. You need to know, also, that each Director has fully contributed to CTTA they've put their money where their mouth is. Their mission is your success. One of the first decisions made by your Boazd, other than to roll up their sleeves, was to own and operate the 1-800-COLORADO phone number that served the State in the past. The decision was reached on NTay 4 and the number was in CTTA's possession and operating by June 5. With 24 hour per day answering, the Product Line has handled more than 50,040 phone calls to date on behalf of the CTTA. A special committee has been established to explore the possibilities of using the 800 number for more than just information fulfillment. The "one stop shopping " committee is charged with developing methods of taking an 800 caller as close as possible to the sale of any CTTA Stakeholder's.lotlging pioperty, recreation venue, attraction, meedng facility or other travel product. The oudook for this project is promising and we will keep you informed. Another coup for CTTA was acquiring the Internet address, colorado.com. Colorado's home page is being developed now. CTTA will be on-line soon with information about all its Stakeholders. Look for more about this exciting development and how you can participate in the near future. CTTA recently passed a$6Qa,000 budget.for R/Lay through Decembez 1995. This includes $220,000 for Informadon Services (800 number and fulfillment) and $230,000 for advertising and other promodonal programs beginning with Autumn 1995. Other important lines in the budget for projects already underway include Database Development, which is our mailing list of the 11,000+ travel and tourism business in Colorado, Invoicing, and Stakeholder Relations. We've also purchased a desk and some chairs to augment those being provided so graciously by ICarsh & Hagan Advertising. Speaking of Karsh & Hagan, it is very important to mendon their significant contribudons to CTTA. All aecount service, media service and creadve service, which is the time spent on P.O. BOX 3524 • ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO 80155 TELEPHONE (303) 779•5965 • FAX (303) 770•8410 ~ CTTA's account by highly qualified advertising pros, is provided at no charge to CTTA. This represents approximately $25,000. Thank you, Karsh & Hagan! By the way, K&H has also acquired over $39,000 in free adverrising in several publications like Food & Wine, Ski & Skiing, Outside and American Heritage magazines. These and several other publishers have all been extremely generous with their valuable media space. If you make contact with any of the reps from these magazines or newspapers, please say thank you. CTTA is meeting with a major credit card company to develop a summer 1996 advertising and promodonal campaign. The possibility for this exciting co-op to happen is very high; however, it is dependent on the annual contribudons from those businesses which have not yet contributed to CTTA. This promotional project would be the first of many with this paRicular partner and we look forward to putting it together and working with them. There have been several articles in papers throughout the state recently reoorting a decline in tourism. Often these stories cite the lack of a tourism office as the reason for the decrease. If you are given opportunity, lease talk with these reporters about the CTTA, what we've done and what our plans aze. Hearing progress reported by someone in your position is just what the state needs to boost its image. One of the primary aspects of CTTA's pragram is its belief in, and desire to, deliver tangible benefits to its Stakeholders. Although CTTA believes it is resgonsible for promodng Colorado as a destination to travel customers, we are firm in our resolve to provide as many opportunities to increase business or direcdy affect the business of each of our contributing partners. 'Ihis is a topic for discussion and debate at nearly every meedng and as a result every program to be designed for CTTA will be considered on its ability to deliver individual and collective benefits.

Compact waters to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. Colorado's legislature should thoroughly investigate this state tragedy, as it seriously violates CWCB's legislative charter to plan, develop, and conserve Colorado's interstate compact entitlements for current and future generations. The federal "taking" of the Taylor Park Reservoir Refill Decree was a major governmental blunder, caused by misguided intent and misuse of state testunony in Gunnison Water Coun. During the unprecedented refill trial (86CW203), the court was improperly led to believe the Taylor River fishery had improveti because of a 1975 Reservoir Mana.gement Agreement that increased flows below the dam. However, a careful after-the-fact reading of the State Fish Flow study clearly shows the fishery improvement was due to reduced river flow "fluctuations" not "higher flows" as understood by the court. The fish study also shows the six study sites were 22 miles below the dam, where intefNening tributaries mak-e river flows nearly double that of the court-designated Taylor Dam Gauging Station. As a resuIt of these serious judicial errors, the court awarded a West Slope refill decree with "optimal river flows" that would require 50% more water than the total avera.ge virgin flow of the Taylor River. The unsustainable optimal summer flows are 350 to 5501'6 higher than the reasonable CWCB decreed minimal.flows for fish at Taylor Park Dam. T'he court's concept of "optimal flows" is entirelv new under CoIoraao water Iaw. ' In spite of protests by Arapahoe County, CWCB supported the West Slope position in Colorado Supreme Court. tieither CWCB or the higher court was willing to review the factual enors. The linited States supported the Arapahoe position until immediately before the trial. Incredibly, the L.S. switched sides after the VVest Slope river districts agreed to assign all water rights to the U. S. within 60 days of the final decree. Although the court record indicates the trial was primarily over historical flows for fish, all persons involved would truthfi211y admit the real iritent was to reduce the unallocated state waters available for high altitude storage and gravity distribution to East Slope needs. CVdCB's involvement in this case should be thoroughly evaluated, because it exemplifies the twenty-year "understanding" between West Slope and state natural resource leaders that Colorado's vast untapped Gunnison waters are off-limits for East Slope needs. If this artificial state barrier were lifted, Colorado would have ample ]ow-cost renewable surface water for its current and future generations. . ~ W.-O WE ain ' . , . ~ , , ~ . . .

Post Office Box 7 Vail, Co 81658 Dear Paul: This is a long overdue response in regard to your letter requesting a memorial marker to commemorate the successful 1994 World Mountain Bike Championships. Your idea was well received by the Town Council. Unfortunately, we now have a dilemma as to where such a memorial should be placed. The Vail Valley Foundation currently has a design in mind for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships, and in an attempt to combine that with the `89 Championships marker and possibly the memorial you suggested, leaves us inquiring as to the proper location. We currently are looking at a variety of sites, including the following: the Vista Bahn; the Golden Peak redevelopment; Seibert Circle; and the rock retaining walls on the perimeter of tfie new Roundabout at the main Vail intersection, among others. It will take some additional time to coordinate location for all of these markers. The Town Council discussed at their worksession just yesterday a possible location toward the center of the Roundabout but was unanimous in opposing that due to safety considerations.

And that means paying close attention to the way you store your garbage, says Paul Reeves, the town's environmental health officer. "If we make it so the bears can't get to the food, the neighborhood sightings will be reduced," he said. Since August, the Vail Police Department has fielded over 20 bear complaints from the Matterhorn and East Vail areas, according to Reeves. Most of the calls have involved a mother bear with cubs. The problem has been aggravated this season by . the lack of berries and other natural foods, say Colorado Division of Wildlife officials. Therefore, Reeves is asking residents and businesses to do their part in making trash and garbage inaccessible for the next 8-1.0 weeks. "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," he said. "We also can provide tips on bear proofing containers and dumpsters." Second homeowners, especially those who frequent Vail each weekend, should contact their private waste hauler to make arrangements for Sunday pickups, he said, or perhaps some vacation property owners who reside nearby, could consider taking their trash home with them to be ~ (more) RECYCL6OPAPER BearsiAdd 1 included with regular trash pickups there. "We understand some of the problems are being caused by people putting their trash out several days before the regular collection cycle," Reeves said. "We're asking for voluntary compliance to keep our neighborhoods safe." ' With funding assistance from the Colorado Division of Wildlife, the town is doing its part to discourage the presence of bears through the recent placement of five commercial bear proof containers. Located in Bighorn Park, Ford Park, Pirate Ship Park and Stephen's Park, the sites were selected based on the frequency of past bear activity, he said. The containers are designated for park use only. "While it can be exciting to see a bear, it's a dangerous mix to attract these animals through our own neglect," said Reeves. "Eventually, someone will get hurt." For more information on bear proofing efforts, contact Reeves at 479-2333, or Bill Andree with the Colorado Division of Witdlife at 926-4424. # # # S ~d eg TORW OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 MED9A ADilBSORV September 11, 1995 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Community Information Office TOV CONSTRUCTIOIV UPDATE Here's a brief look at construction in Vail for this week (Sept.
