~~~ORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council Members
Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager
Suzanne Silverthorne, Community Information
FROM: Larry Gy&~
.
DATE: October 5, 1995
RE: Regional Transportation
At this weeks Town Council work session, the question was asked regarding "what would the
costs of providing a Vail operated regional bus system be?
Attached is the cost estimate for the operation of a minimal servuce ?eve? regeonall system
through December 1996. 'II'?ne esti¢gnate foa- gllnis service ns $70,208. This assumes that the
county and Vail funding level remains through April 1996 for the Gypsutn service. The follow on
regional system from April 1996 through December 1966 would consist of two routes, Gypsum
and Leadville. Gypsum service would continue to operate as it currently does with two morning
and two evening routes during the ski season, and one a.m. and one p.m. route in the summer.
The Leadville service would run two a.m. and two p.m. routes between April and December
1996.
Capital equipment to operate this route would either be the six regional buses that Avon currently
uses or using our retired fleet of 10 buses. Our retired fleet would only have approximately three
years of service before they become really undependable.
Also attached is an ~xpanded regnouaall transporQation plan. 1C9ae esgimage to operate thns
servnce ns $1,028,731 peu- year.
The staff and I would be glad to discuss this further with you at your convenience.
In the event that the November, 1995 Transportation Tax does NOT pass:
The estimated cost to iun the Gypsum-Vail route and the Leadville-Vail route fi•om April 17,
1996 to December 31, 1996 is $70,208. This includes farebox recoveiy reduction.
The number of buses needed for the operation would be six. The two routes could be operated
with the six federally funded buses Avon currently has or with the retired fleet the Town of Vail
has, or a combination of both.
The calculations for routes are listed below. This "shoestring" seivice, with the federal buses,
could be sustained for 9 or 10 years without capital replacement issues until 2006, with some
capacity for growth in ridership.
By April of 1996, the Town of Vail will have ten retired buses that could be used on thc routcs,
but they only have two to three years of seivice life left working these routes.
Also included is an expanded county-wide system that assumes that all federal buses would be
used and the Town of Vail would use all of its retired bus fleet. The second plan includes all the
routes currently seiviced by the Town of Avon and the Town of Vail. The plan also shows
expanded seivice to Gypsum and Leadville.

Dear M
Thank vou for ' r comments on the preservation of our national
parks and public lands.
The new Republican majority in the House is determined to break
up the national park system. Although H. R. 260, a proposal
introduced by Rep. Joel Hefley (R-CO), to set up a commission to
decide which national parks to close, was defeated in the House,
the Republican leadership inserted the bill in the Continuing
Resolution that passed the House September 28. I am strongly
opposed to H.R. 260. Instead of shuttering our national parks,
we ought to be making a greater effort to preserve and improve
them. '
Secretary of the interior Bruce Babbitt recently traveled to the
Chattahoochee National Recreation Area in Georgia, House Speaker
Newt Gingrich's home state, where he lambasted Mr. Gingrich's
"ideological crusade...to get rid of public spaces, public
places, [and] our national and historical heritage." Mr.
Gingrich criticized the Interior;Secretary for "crying wolf," but
when asked if he could guarantee that the recreation area would
not be sold to a condominium developer, Mr. Gingrich's press
secretary replied, "life has no guarantees."
Republicans are also trying to open up the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling and to shift control of massive
acreage of public:-_razing lands to small numbers of ranchers.
I am absol.l°ely op~ sed to this wrong-headed, short-sighted
ideolo g.i%l crusa and I will do everything I can to oppose it.

CAST MINUTES
AUGUS'I' 18, 1995
GRAND LAKE
` At 9:07 a.m. President Rachel Richards called the meeting to order. Sain
Mamet of the Colorado 1Vlunicipal League updated CAST members on the
following issues:
Mr.1Vlamet announced that "growth" and "trailsportation" issues would be
the hot topics for the upcoming year. Sam announced that Govemor Romer
proposed spending 100 million dollars per year for five years for highway
improvements from general fund reserves. T11ese funds for 1?ighway
improvements from general fund reseives. '1 hese funds are not to be shared
with local municipalities.
Sam then handed out a"veiy large" packet of information. He updated us
on the plans of the Coalition for Mobility and .Air Quality organization.
They are working on state needs in mobility and economic coiridors in the
Statewide Significant System. They are meeting with CML next week.
Rachel F-ichards expressed the idea that the share back is not as important to
C.A.S.T. members as it is to other C.M.L. members but that seeing highway
spending become politicized or existulg 5 year highway pla.us scrapped is.
T7ie second chapter of Sam's discussion centered around growth. CMI, has
a growth committee working on defining the Governor's Growth Plan. This
report should be out by mid-September. T'here is a state-wide growth
meeting scheduled for November 4th. Enclosed please find CIVII,'s position
statement on growth. .
Sam mentioned that Governor Romer is taking a negative stance on flagpole
annexation. He then mentioned that the "takings" bill will be coining back
again. possibly as a state wide ballot issue. Ple;ase refer to the packet handed
out by Sam for further details, if you were not present at the meeting, please
contact CML for your packet infonnation.
IVext on the agenda was a conversation about.Russel George's new bill. He
will be in Frisco on August 24th from 1:00 - 4:00 to discuss his proposal.
He is attempting to address growth impacts on communities created by
resorts. Sam mentioned that there will be a two-day session in early October
on state and local tax policy. You will be updated when the date is set.
Working Weekend Discussion
Renetta Lueckenhoff reported that we have only ten legislaY.ors committed
a.nd four part-time. She proposed that we cancel the tour. Iti was attributed
to that people were just too busy. Ski Country is planning two evening
events in Denver with the legislators. It will be infoimal and we will be
invited. Currently they are scheduled for February and March. Renetta also
updated us on their Executive Director search. They are still interviewing
for the position and the rumor mill is false. Ski Country had a retreat in Jul_y,
the I-70 con-idor is their top priority.
CAST STAFFING
CAST members reviewed the draft RFP for services in acquiring Forest
Service land for employee housing. 1Vlark Collins mentioned that we need to
bring our financial resources to the table. Steve West questioned why we ,
were doing this alone, he mentioned Ski Country and individual ski areas as
possible pat-bners. '
For about fifteen minutes we discussed the idea of transit to be included and
finally decided we would only look at housing. A main goal is to get the
Forest Service starting to think about other uses for their lan.ds. Renetta
mentioned that Ski Country has been working with the Public Lands
Coinmittee a.nd that might be a good source of' information.
Once again, the Honorable Jim Schmidt came up with an excellent idea. He
requested that we send whatever information that individual communities
have on cotnpleted projects to Rachel in an attempt to gather some of the
information needed by the consultant. The guy is a pure geFlius and we are
lucky to have him in CAST.
FINANCIAL REPORT ~ Was handed out without any comments. It was mentioned that we are a little
richer because of tlie working weekend cancel:lation.
11RANSYORTA'TION ISSUES
After lengthy discussion it was decided that we would not hire a consultant
to work on tliese issues but instead wait and see what comes up.
IZachel Richards announced the dates for the Summer Travel Symposium in
Breckeruidge that she won't be attending on September 25th aud 26th.
FUTURE CAST MEETINGS
November - Set by Kangaroo Court in Vail on November 9t11 and l Oth.

Dear Rachel,
Sorry this took 5Ci long. Accompanying this is is a pmeatype of a front page for ehe newsleeter/magazine.
Despite coiisiderable talk during the last three years, and outright work this summer, the task remains daunQng.
'1'he writing pan of it wauld tTe comparatively casy; the greacest single task remains finding enough mailing
lists and st;cortdly, getting an invcseor. t'm not williag co sink my life's savings into something like this when
chere's so much iaiosity ia? this balley I hope looking for a good csuse. .
iWy cargct audience for this publicaeion vrould be fast-growing m,ouneain mwns and counties, most of ehem having ski resores or closc eo or iinpaceed by the ski industry, bue noe always so. Among speeifie groups I woulei
hope to get subseribers from among:
-eleceed off'icials;
=govemment bureaucracies (town managers, planners, public warks direetors, etc);
-planning commissions;
-professiunal plztnners; -dcvclopers (not an easy market here);
-architects;
-avid environmenial sroups and activists (e.g., Environment 2004 in Steamboat);
-architects;
°SOme bUSineSSCS, paracu2aa-ly larger employers;
-ski area managers and persvnnel; and .
-fecleral land agencies_
I may be leaving out some obvious magkees; I eercainly hope so. Prineing and mailing costs on something like
tiiis are ainple .mughly 50-55 cents a copy. I need a certain bulk in subscripdons for this to make sense, ar else
hetier advzrtisitig poten[ia1 than I currently see.Which is where CA5'r could come in.
l)nfonunately, 1 can't give you precise figures, but I hope I can give you an idea of what I need to rnake things
worh froui your encl, and we epuld make this thing work. As I st-e it, we coutd go three different muees:
-i sell CAS'[' a specified anotent of spaee in evegy issue, say onc page ae $300 an issue, and CAST gives rxte a
mailing lise for the apPropriaee people, and I trgr to sell thom subs.
-CAST t>uys a specified number og subscriptions, and I give C-AST the space for the necessaary internal
conimttnication_
-A combination of ihc twp. For exaenple, CAST pays for $200 an issue for one page, and duys suoscriptions t.o
a minimurn number of peopte (town manager, mayor, council rep to CAST, for example) and I have co try to
sell the re~t of the tiubs.
This is vague, ancl I'm sorry about thae. g've written chousands of stories in the last 18 years, but never bc:fore
have [ pue [ogecher a business plan. I'rt' having some sharper eyes then mine look over my budget, to see if fl can
cuc cc~sts c,r <<rri otherwise being realistic. lf this isn't enough now for you to go upon, please call gne or drop riic
a noee.
AIso, I'm still searching for ehe right name. Ones I've tried out on various people include: Mountain Fonim,
ARount;i.in 7ncelligencc, Ski Town NewSleuer, IlRountain Medium, tind now, Mouneain'I'owit News. Any feedhack or suggestions yoti might hadC wrould be gready eppreciated. jOd 61I5 OZ6 £0E 01 HO DNIQ'If1IS SQPMQa NIO~j wd 50:ZI 56-1£-80

A VIlsion for a Mmunta'ln lZesort Community
A draft, prepared from the results of discussion groups at
The Boogn in Mountain Living Conference,
Sustaining Quality of L,ife Through C;ollaboration,
at Keystone, Colorado, June 7-10, 1995.
Our ideal rnountain town is built, above all, on values. At the sarne time, 1t flS
realistic in its understanding and embrace of economic well-being. It as anade
up of actiwe, involved and well-infonned citizens who share a vision of
sustainable ecological, social and economic systems.
Persornal arid Socia? Values
The members of the comrriunity find common ground in a set of values that
are the foundation of all activity. Araiong these are open and respectfuul
dialogue, trustfulness, diversity and inclusiveness, social equality, protection
of the environment, and adherence to the concepts of never-ending
education, collaborative communitgr decision-Ynaking and the cornrnon good.
Econoniie Values
A susta.inable, year-round econoYny with stable jobs results from otar community's belief in business and industrial diversity, balanced growth,
and agreed limits to developynent. The lead'uag economic force in the
community, the ski company, works for open communication and
collaboration dvith the town. In turn, the community benefits from the
resort's broad employee base and the hundreds of thousands of visitors it
attracts.
Aesthetic Values
Set in the midst of extraordinary natura"L scenery, our community is
dedicated to preserving and protecting the beaut}r of our sunoundings
through intelligent planning and focused development. At the center of town,
a pedestrian environment is enhanced by quality architectural and la.tidscape
design, incorporating green spaces, flower gardens, and dedicated cycle and
in-line skate paths. Strict zoning and land-use rules preserve the natural
environment, promote building with mountain-appropriate materials like
~ timber and stone, and restrict sprawl.

TO: CML Executive Board
FROM: David Broadwell, Staff ,4ttorney ,
SIJBJECT: Recommendations of C1YIL's Growth Committee
DATE: August: 16, 1995
The first meeting of CML's Growth Committee occurred on August 9. .A number of
substantive issues were addressed, some of which wiil be subject to further
discussion at future meetings. (The bacfcground staff memo to the Committee with
a designation of issues considered is attached.. .
For the time being, the Committee is recommending to the Executive Board that CML
take the following positions and communicate thesP positions to Governor Romer and
others as appropriate::
1. The League encourages cooperative intergovernmentai solutions to regional
problems. VVhile broad enabling authority, already exists for intergovernmentai
agresments and local jurisdictions are increasingly motivated to pursue regional
approaches to common problems, what is !aclcing are the resources necessary to -
effectuate intergovernmental arrangements.
A. The State should provide appropriate financial incentives through
new sources of funding, directly targeted at rewarding local governments
who pursue intergovernmental solutions to regional problems.
B. Local governments . are encouraged to pursue appropriate
intergovernmental solutions to regional problems...
L The League requests assurances from Governor Romer and legisldtors that the~+ "
l o ppose anv legislation, including any so-called "takings" legislation, that would
impair the existing statutory, constitutional, and common law authority of local
governments to manage growth and regulate land use.
3., The League urges the Governor to issue an executive ordec requiring state
agencies to conform, to the greatest degree practicable, with local land use plans and
regu(ations in the siting and construction of state facilities., ' i 4. CML should embark on a long term educationa[ effort among its own membevs to
inform municipal officials of hovv to better manage growth in their own communitees,
(making best use of the tools, techniques.and resources available to them), whiie aiso
observing regulatory "takings" and other constitutional and statutory constraints on
t eir actionss: ~

We are sure you are aware of the recent effort of several mefiibers'vf

While we recognize tlte need to reduce the federa], cCeft,cit, tb,o Execove
. Board of CAST feels this appzoach is extremely short sighted.• Fven if it did
make sense i.n specific. circumstances to sell USFS land tv ski area, operators,
the discussions to d.ate have not addressed how this wou.ld be~acc6tplished;
how the land would be valued, and what restrections (if arxy). ~v~d;be p]aced
on the sale_ It is the feeling of die Executive Board that we"ne'ed•to. stmp this
action until we have a better understauding of this p:rovisioii, ind how it
would izztpact the various CAST communities. , '
• . ,
The provision to seIl USFS lands wasplaced on an iuneizciwelt•ta House '
Budget Bill Sectiou #5950 and has been approved ky ther'Ho~s~of •
. Representahves. Fortunately, due to work of severa{ C,A,ST ~fficials, this
provision was etiznxiiated in the Senate version of the'bill. B~dicause. the
House and Senate have passed twa different bills, the differerices must be .
resolved fihrough a reconciliation process. Tb.erefore, while i.t appeaxs that
this issue might be dead, it as not certain. . . , ' '
The reconciliation process, always a complex politic,al effort an anyiyear, is
more complicated this year. While we believe the momeniuim at pre,sent is , .
in favor of deleting the provision or aY least modifying it to.;prpvicie;local
conbrol, the otrtcome is still uncertain. tt also appears the llfeSident:rs at
present virtuaJly certain to veta this reconciliation bill, nat mearis:spe,cific
provisions to which he objects wiil be outlrned as a reasonfot the vtto and
the committees will be sent back to rework the bili. ;ievera1 of the `
provisions which are leading to the veto are within the pumeirr of the
Resources Committee, the source of the slCi xesort proai.sion, ;As a nesult,
those committees will likely have to come up with addidon6xevevfie for

Subjeet; Summary of Segte:nber ZZ. 1995 ConFaa+e= Call and Privatizadon Pcmdon
Atter ugnificaric discusgon, the NSAA PubuC Land3 Committee e,grccd that the prope,t4d
leaislation allowing ski aresa t,o putclaam the natiaaal for+en Iands upon w1aich thcy opeaate
(prfvarizatlon) ahould be ctbleid for the dme being. The coMMiuee did aot nject outri,;lst the
privatizsaon concept; rethar, it t`elt it did not have rnough inforniation tv take aPaaftion with regard to ic. Commictee members felt ths induatry and cach, ski trea must be gawea tissae to

,4pplications for Hazard Elimina4ion Projects - and Federal Rail-Highway Safety
Improvement Project Funds fior FY 98 through FY 99. Applications are due 6n 4he
off 6ce by NovembeP V, 11995o Municipal applications should be sent to:
Jan Gerstenberger
. Colorado Municipal League
1660 Lincoln S4reet, Suite 2100
Denve.r, Colorado 80264
Local governments within DRCOG are advised to send a duplica4e copy of their
applications to DRCOG.
Any project selected for this federal funding must be included in the Statewide
Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) and, if in an urban area, in the appropriate
Transportation Improvement Program (T'IP) of the MPO, Metropolitan Planning
Organization.
Completed applications will be forwarded to CDQT where they will be evaluated for
funding in coordination with the MPOs on the basis of need and anticipated accident
reduction with other state and local proposals.
The application process and final analysis is expected to be done by Dec. 31, 1995 in
order for projects to be included in STIPs and TIPs. Applicants will be notified o# funding
approval or denial by the end of January 1996.
~
The two programs are administered by CDOT for whic;h there is an indirect cost, or
-c l
overhead charge, of approximately 2%. This indirect cost is not eligible for federa
funding.
The enclosed application forms should be used. They have been modified to reflec:t
multi-year scheduling. All requests should be for the two-year period beginning FY 1998
- through FY 1999. Projects should be identified by year requested. If you would like the
project considered for each of the two years until funding is granted or funding has been
exhausted, please indicate this on the application.
RAIL-liIGFVWAY CROSSINC PROTECTION PROGRAAII
This program provides federal funds for at-grade crossing protection projects. Typically
this is a 90% federal/10% local match program, although the option now exists for these
projects to be 100% federally funded. CDOT estimates that there will be $1.1 million fcar
each of the two years.
HAZARD ELIMINATION PROGRAM
This program provides federal funds,(90% federal, 10% Iocal) for projects that improve
the safety of high accident locations. The major factor in evaluating applications is the
accident history. CDOT estimates that there will be $4.9 million in FY 98 and $5.1 million
i n FY 99. -
Only projects of $50,000 and over will be funded, because the overhead is about the
same for all sized projects and the cost effectiveness of the federal dollars seems to
diminish below this amount. Projects can be combined -to meet this $50,000 threshold.
Eligible projects are safety projects on your jurisdiction's street system. Routine
maintenance items such as signing and pavement markirigs are not eligible projects, nor
is purchase of right of way.
If there is a safety improvement needed on a state highway, please talk to the CDOT
Regional Transportation Director about the Department applying for funds or making a
joint application.
Questions regarding the application process and evaluation criteria should be directed to
George Pugh, Staff Traffic Branch, CDOT, (303) 757-9366; Jerry Simpson, (303) 757-
9271; or Jan Gerstenberger, CML staff, (303) 831-6411.

VAIL, AVORl, EAGLE COUNTV RECEIVE NA,T'IONAL RECOGfVITION FOIa COLLABOF2A1'I!/E
PUBLIC IiVFORAAAYIOR! PROJECTS
(Vail)--A cost-sharing partnership involving the Town of Vail, Avon and Eagle County has
received national attention from a govemment communications group. The
City-County Communications and Marketing Association (3CfVIA), a national organization
representing city and county officials, has recognized the three entities for collaboration on two
information projects.
The first, a relocation booklet entitled "Profiles," received top honors for special publications.
Judges called the booklet a"first class piece with clear objectives and good distribution." The
. 20-page free booklet contains information on county history, lifestyles, education, resources, area
communities and economics. It was developed and funded by the three partners to eliminate
duplication in responding to information requests from residents, visitors and those seeking to
relocate. To obtain a copy, call 479-2115 or 328-8605.
The second project, a news magazine program aired on Vail Valley Community Television, was
acknowledged as one of the most creative projects with the least dollars spent. The monthly 30-
minute program, known as "Eagle Valley News Magazine," is produced as a collaborative by the
county, local school district, the two municipalities and Vail Valley IVledical Center. Judges said
the show comes across as a"newsy, objective approach to community issues with a credible
message. A great way to reach today's citizens." The program, which also has received national
recognition within the cable television industry, is broadcast to 11,000 TCI Cablevision customers
from Vail to Edwards. It can be seen at 9 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday

each week on Channel 5.
Public information programs for Vail and Eagle County also received individual recognition.
Eagle County's newsletter was honored with an award for its easy-to-read format, while Vail's
community action plan to accommodate motorists during Vail Pass closures on I-70 received top
honors. Judges said the plan illustrates "customer service at its best while stranded visitors will
long-remember the goodwill and hospitality of Vail."
The local information projects were coordinated by Suzanne Silverthorn of Vail's Community
Information Office; Jack Ingstad, assistant Eagle County administrator for communications and
special projects; Kate Collins, executive director of The Chamber of Commerce; Alastair Lyall,
special events coordinator for the Town of Avon; Kristin Williams, communications coordinator
for Vail Valley Medical Center; and Cindy Paxson, communications coordinator for the Eagle
County School District. The projects competed with more than 180 entries from government
jurisdictions across the United States. Four other Colorado communities, Frisco, Lakewood,
Estes Park and Colorado Springs, were recognized during the organization's national convention,
which was held in Denver earlier this month.
Additional public information partnerships are planned between Vail, Avon and Eagle County
within the next year.

Thank you for your letter regarding the Forest Service sale of the ski areas. I value your
opinion and I'm glad you took the time to write.
I agree that this fire sale would be a mistake and I share many of the same oppositions as
you. Enclosed is the letter that I wrote to Senator Murkowski and Representative Young.
I believe that it adequately represents my views on this proposal.
Thank you again for sharing your ideas with me. Sincerely,

The Honorable Frank Murkowski R"," K„"„'`
c",er"`>`
Chairman
Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources 304 Dirksen Senate Offic.e Building
Washington, DC 20007
Dsar Chairman Murkowski:
In Congress' rush to reduce the deficit, it is considering
some bad ideas. Included among these is the proposed fire
sale of public lands underlying ski areas. I oppose the
attachment to the federal budget reconciliation bill that
would force the Forest Service to sell ski area leased public
lands to the private operators.
As a general rule, most ski areas in Colorado operate under a
land ownership pattern where the private sector owns the base
lands and the Forest Service owns the ski mountain. This
system has worked well to promote necessary base area
development and communities, but has at the same time assured
that the ski mountains will remain permanently available for
winter and summer recreation free of housing, private clubs,
convention centers or other intensive developments that are
inappropriate at higher elevations for both environmental and
aesthetic reasons. In short, the Forest Service has done a
good job of keeping the ski mountains available for public
recreational use and enjoyment, and I see no reason to disrupt
the relationship between the Forest Service and ski area
operators built over many decades.
If the ski mountains are sold to the private sector, the
public would not be assured that the mountains would remain
dedicated and open to public recreation. Further,
privatization of the ski mountains could be accomplished by
closure of mountain facilities to the general public and their
becoming available only to dues-paying "club" members.
Privatization of ski mountains could aiso mean that they might
be closed to hunting, hiking, fishing and other recreation, or
be available on. a pay-only basis. In my opinion, these
possible consequences do not constitute acceptable uses of
what are now public lands.
I am also extremely concerned that if National Forest lands
are sold to the mouritain 'operators, it would be almost
. impossible to establish a sale price which would ensure a fair
market value return to taxpayers. The language I have
6
~
a
seen directs that the ski permits be appraised °based on the
continued use of the land as a ski area." Such an appraisal could
result in lands being sold for $2,000-$3,000 per acre. If later
subdivided and resold, the same land could return up to $2-3
million per acre (which is what prime °ski-in/ski-out" lots at the
base of Vail and Aspen now bring on the open market). There is no
doubt in my mind that taxpayers would lose tremendous value from
this arrangement.
I am also concerned that the privatization of ski mountains would
make it very difficult for resort communities to manage growth,
provide adequate facilities and services, and maintain the quality
of life that they have worked hard to achieve. Moreover, the
impacts on transportation systems, especially traffic along I-70,
air and water quality, and wildlife habitat could be very
significanto Al1 of these need to be carefully considered before
ski area lands are placed in private ownership.
As a final note, it is important to remember that the current
system of special use permits and fee collections is a significant
revenue generator for the U.S. Treasury. In fiscal year 1994, the
Forest Service Region 2 office collected about $10 million from ski
area operators while spending less than $1 million administering
the programs.
In summary, I believe the proposal to sell National Forest ski
mountains to the ski area operators is not in the public interest.
The Forest Service has done an admirable job of working with the
ski industry to produce a vigorous and healthy ski industry in our
state, while at the same time protecting the mountain environment
and sanctity of the public lands for public use. Ski area
operators have worked hard with the Forest Service to protect the
lands natural beauty and environmental integrity. I see no reason
to break up this successful partnership simply to enhance the
federal government's short term cash flow. Colorado°s 1Vational
Forest .ski mountains are national treasures which provide
recreation for more than 10 million-skiers annually.. They should
remain in public hands.

Dear Mr. Fralick:
On behalf of the Vai1 Town Council, I am responding to a letter received October 3, 1995,
regarding Vail Bicycle Service.
In fact, the Town of Vail is a member of the Better Business Bureau as well, and I believe your
having referred this business to the Better Business Bureau is an appropriate action. I am
forwarding a copy of your letter to the Town Council and to the Town Manager for their
information and wish you the best of luck in resolving this unfortunate situation.
Again, thank you for keeping the Council advised. Sincerely,
TOWN 'OF VAII.

RECYCLED PAPER
RECE.',:~__~ ; ~
Dear Vail Valley Town Council,
I have enclosed a letter that you.may be interested in.
Unfortunately, I was forced to write to the Better Business Bureau
after being unable to obtain satisfactor.y service from a local
bicycle store, Vail Bicycle Service, and it:s owner Tim Young. Tim
Young and VBS have provided my family and I with terrible customer
service and treated us with incredible disrespect. As a part time
resident_ and job holder in Vail, and with, family in the area, I
understand the importance that Vail places on customer service.
Vail Bicycle Service is an embarrassment t.o the Vail area. I hope
that you can somehow use this information in your own way, to help
protect locals and guests in the Vail area from the horrible
treatment that we have experienced.
Sincerely,
Peter Fralick

During the past few weeks my family and I have been trying to work with Vail Bicycle Service
(VBS) after finding a discrepancy on a$12Q0 bicycle I purchased frorn them. I wanted and paid
for a shock called the Mag 21 and received the bike with a shock called the Quad 21R. The price
difference between these shocks is $35-70 in other shops around the Vail area, and though both
are good shocks, the Mag 21 is of better quality and design. I realized this mistake two weeks
after delivery, when I had left the Vail area where I live during the summer. A call was placed to
VB S and the manager was to send out the correct shock. VEIe arranged that I would pay for the
Mag 21 again and my sister (who l:ves :n NTail; wonld return the Quad 21R shock to'VBS. At
this time, the store would refund the money for the Niag 21 shock, as we had now paid for it
twice. When the shock never came in the mail I placed a follow up call to VBS. The owner of
VBS, Tim Young, was the one that I spoke with this time, and his response was shocking, rude,
and insulting. He called me a"liar", he stated "you are trying to screw us", and " you broke
your shock and are trying to screw us out of another one" for a few examples. At the same time
giving me no chance to discuss the situation, ask questions, or explain my side of the story. The
shock was in perfect condition and this accusation by Tim Young was unsubstantiated. The
shock was in another state and he had no way of seeing it. Also, at this point we had paid for
both shocks and he was at no financial risk. When my sister returned the shock he would have
seen that it was in perfect condition. At this point, Tim Young gave me misinformation about the
quality and price of the Quad 21R shock in an angry attempt to get me to keep it. Since I was
not able to resolve the situation with Tim Young, my father offered to try talking to him. VVhen
my father phoned Tim Young he was met with even worse behavior. Tim Young spoke to my
father in a very rude angry way, called him a"liar", stated "I just wont talk to anyone else about
this", and proceeded to hang up on him. Ironically, when we bought the bike the salesmen
proudly emphasized the great service that we would receive from VBS compared to other stores.
VBS also advertises in the phone book as having the "friendliest staif', neither of these qualities
were evident to me.
1VIy family and i feel that:
1)I did not receive the groduct that we had discussea from VB5
2)I was overcharged for the shocks that were placed on the bike ( the ones I did not want)
Bicycle stores in the Vail area and the bike manufacturer report a$35-70 price difference in the
price of the shocks.
3)Tim Young, The owner of VBS, gave me misinformation regarding the price and quality of the
Quad 21R shock.
4)liRy father and I received extremely rude and offensive treatment from the owner of VBS, Tim
Young.
I feel that I deserve a price adjustment or the conect shock (Mag 21) to be placed on my bicycle
at no charge to me. I also believe .that an apology is due to my father and I frorn, Tim Young, for
the sheer disrespect that he showed us. As I have had numerous failed attempts to resolve this
with the store on my own I would like some assistance from the Better Business Bureau.
Sincerely,
. Peter Fralick
