Box 479 . Nederland, CO 80466 Dear Mr. Mertons, Thank you for your inquiry about the Town of Vail and USFS land exchange. At this time, it does not appear that the Town will need additional lands to trade to the Forest Service. However, the appraisal process is not complete for the properties that the Town and Forest Service would exchange and it is possible, but not likely, that the Town may need additional land for the exchange. I would recommend that you contact the U.S. Forest Service and inform them of your - interests expressed in this letter. They maintain a list of wilderness area in-holdings that individuals would like to dispose of or that could be acquired in a exchange. The parcel you mentioned in your letter could be in either the Holly Cross Ranger District (970-827-5715) or the Leadville District (719-486-0752). There are also several wilderness land trusts that may be interested in your property which you might consider contacting. Please feel free to call me at 970-479-2146 if I can be of any further assistance. Sincerely, ~ ~ Russel Forrest Senior Environmental Policy Planner X.C. Vail Town Council Bob McLaurin Pam Brandmeyer Susan 'Connelly RECYCLEDPAf'ER e ee - e4 TORW OF ~AIL 75 South Frontage Izoad Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 MED9A ADVISORX February 7, 1996 Contact: Suzanne Silverthorn, 479-2115 Communify Information Office QlAIL `PO@VN C0UNC0L BiIGFiL9GHTS FOR FEBRUARY 6 VVork Sessuon Bruefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, 6Curz, Navas --Ludwig Kurz Ludwig Kurz, who was elected to fill a mid-year term during the Jan. 30 special election, was sworn in by Town Clerk Holly fiiicCutcheon. Kurz will serve until iVovember 1997. --Citizen Participation, Diane Golden The Council heard from local resident Diane Golden who expressed a concern about the effectiveness of the town's GRFA (gross residential floor area) provisions. Golden said 4he town's GRFA requirements are too restrictive and are driving people out of town. She said the town should continue to restrict exterior bulk and mass, but should be less concerned about what takes place within the interior of buildings. Council members said they would add the topic to their retreat discussion scheduled for Feb. 27. Golden asked the Council to have new policies in place in time for the coming construction season. --Site Visit Council members visited a residence under construction at 795 Potato Patch Drive in preparation for the evening meeting. --Volleyball Courts The Council voted 7-0 to allow the Vail Recreation District to proceed through the planning process to request a conditional use permit to allow for fhe cons4ruction of ' four new sand volleyball courts on town-owned land at the east end of the existing soccer field south of Vail Valley Drive. The request will be heard by the Planning and Environmental Commission at its Feb. 26 meeting. For more information, contact George Ruther at 479-2145. --Vail Commons Lottery Criteria After reviewing various options to structure and prioritize criteria for the Vail Commons Emore~ R CYCLED APER 1 Council Highiights/Add 1 lottery, the majority of the Council members reacted favorably to: 1) Pursuing a modified point allocation structure with basic eligibility as the preferred approach to structuring the lottery. Under this approach, individuals would be ranked based on such factors as length of employment, length of residency and home ownership status. Based on the ranking, individuals would qualify for different tiers. A random drawing would be conducted within each tier, starting with the top tier and moving through to the next, until all homes are allocated. The strength of this approach, said senior housing policy planner Andy Knudtsen, is that it allows for a variety of values to be involved in the ranking without getting too detailed. 2) Requiring financial pre-qualification prior to applying for the lottery. 3) Giving higher priority to applicants who work in Vail, while those who work elsewhere will be weighted slightly lower. Longevity will be recognized with an emphasis placed on long-term employees and residents of five or more years. 4) No preferences will be given for length of residency in Vail as compared to other locations in the Vail Valley. 5) Giving low priority to persons who already own homes; however, should an existing homeowner agree to deed restrict a current property, the application could be weighted higher. 6) Making the 37 two-bedroom units available to any lottery applicant (singles, couple, etc.), while prioritizing the 16 three-bedroom units for families (three or more persons related by blood, marriage or adoption). 7) Allowing business owners to participate in the lottery only if there are no other individual purchasers. During the discussion, several members of the public offered their opinions and suggestions, including: keep the lottery process as simple as possible; consider adjusting the 3 percent appreciation cap on resales to the Denver/Boulder Consumer Price Index; allow for room mates, sa long as the unit also is occupied by the owner; keep the lottery process fair for singBe applicants and make it as random as possible; and consider targeting some of the units for critical employees such as hospital . workers, police, fire, etc. Following ,yesferday's initial discussion and direction provided by the Council, the proposed lottery application and structure will be refined and presented for additional public input at a work session on Feb. 20 and at the IVlarch 5 evening Council meeting. Demand for the 53 for-sale units is expected to exceed the supply. To date, more than 200 individuals have requested information on the housing. For more details, 'contact Andy Knudtsen in the Community Development Department at 479-2138. --Youth Recognition Award After hearing an overview from Paul Johnston, Council members agreed to move forward in selecting and announcing winners of a new youth recognition award sponsored by the Town of Vail. The award, which replaces the Chuck Anderson Youth Award, will honor two high school juniors, one from Battle Mountain, the other from Vail Mountain School, with a summer internship experience in another country, such as St. Moritz, Switzerland. The town will provide funds for the students' travel expenses and (more) e a Council Highlights/Add 2 will coordina4e other arrangemenfis fihrough the Vait Valley Exchange program, formeriy the Sis4er Cifiies Commifitee. For more details, contact Johnston at 479-1860. --Town Council Appointments Ludwig Kurz was asked 4o consider serving on four committees: Northwest Colorado Council of Governments alternate; Northwest Colorado Co.uncil of Governments V1/ater Quality/Quantity Committee alternate; Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek Fifth) alternate; and the Colorado Ski Museum and Ski Hall of Fame. --Information Update Council members wrere asked 4o review the criteria for confributions to outside agencies . N in preparation for the 1996 budget. Last year, 4he Council gave priority to requests that sought 4o enhance the town's economic viability through marketing, special events and other activities, while deferring social services requests to other agencies. The Council added the topic to its list of discussion items for its Feb. 27 re4reat. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said the town has received some complaints from residents in the Niatterhorn neighborhood regarding la4e-nighf snovvmobiling in Donovan Park. She said staff will monitor the situation and will recommend if an ordinance on snowmobiling within the town's boundaries should be pursued. The benefit package for council-appointed board and commission members was discussed. Currently members of the Vail Valley fViarketing Board and Vail Housing Authority receive no benefits, while members of the Arts In Public Places, Local Licensing Authority, Design Review Board and Planning and Environmental Commission receive a minimum benefit of either a blue parking pass or a recreation pass. Applications for 10 open seats on five boards are due Feb. 14. The Council will discuss the benefits in more defail at an upcoming meeting. --Council Reports Paul Johnston, who represents the Council on the board of the Chamber of Commerce, distributed a Vail Valley map which represents the first joint venture between 4he Chamber and the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau. He said plans are progressing for construction of a new tourism information center in Avon which would . also house a new Eagle County Annex. Rob Ford gave an overview of the Ford Park management study meetings. He said parking and access issues have dominated the discussions. Since none of the user groups have expressed interest in financing a parking sfiructure at the park, Ford said the study group is reviewing better utilization of current parking facilities and an extension of bus service from the in-town shuttle route to accommodate events and other activities at the park. (more) Council Highlights/Add 3 Sybill Navas, through her committee assignment on the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments, reported on an effort to direct excess state revenues to the Department of Transportation for possible projects in the Vail Valley. Navas also encouraged the town to become involved in an economic analysis of the area conducted by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs at the request of the U.S. Forest Service. Navas said it's important for the data.to be accurate since the Forest Service will use the study in making land use decisions. In another committee report, Navas said the Special Events Commission has approved funding requests for three events: the local mountain bike race series; the Vail International Hockey Tournament; and a June marketing program sponsored by the Vail Alpine Garden Foundation. Also, Navas said fhe Special Events Committee has . a suggested revamping town ordinances to allow more banners during events. The Council agreed to discuss the item at its Feb. 27 retreat. Lastly, Navas said it appears the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau and Vail Associates are continuing to make headway in resolving the 1-800 number conflict. Kevin Foley said he attended a workshop for elected officials sponsored by the Colorado Municipal League (CML). Vail will host CML's annual conference in June with an estimated 1,500 delegates. Foley encouraged his colleagues to participate in the conference. --Other Public Works/Transportation Director Lar.ry Grafel gave an update on snow removal efforts in January: crews worked the equivalent of 6 weeks within the month; $56,000 in salaries were paid while equipment costs totaled $96,000; 16 pieces of equipment were kept running an average of 12 hours a day for a total of 3,600 hours; 780 tons of cinders and 1,600 gallons of magnesium chloride were used; $33,000 was spent on contractual services to haul and remove snow; 1,800 truck loads of snow were hauled, or the equivalent of one football field piled with 22 feet of snow. For additional details, . contact Grafel at 479-2173. Evening Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas --Citizen Participation The Council heard from J.B. Smith of Vail who expressed concern about the regional transportation authority's progress in expanding the regional transportation system. Smith called the process extremely bureaucratic. He also complained about people driving too fast for conditions in and around Vail and asked for the Council's support in opposing an increase to the speed limit on the interstate. Smith learned the town has already sent a letter to the state in opposition of a speed limit increase on Vail Pass west through Dowd Junction. --Design Review Board Term Extensions (more) O ~ Council Highlights/Add 4 The Council voted 7-0 to approve a resolution extending the present terms of fiwo members of the Design Review Board, Hans Woldrich and Robert Borne, until the nevvly appointed members are sworn in on March 6. The terms had been set to expire Feb. 1. --Vail Commons Indemnification The Council voted 6-1 (Jewe4t against) to approve a resolu4ion directing the town manager to enter into an agreemen4 with Stewart Title Guaranty Company to share any attorneys fees and costs which might be incurred defending any action brought by the "Common Sense for 4he Commons" Petitioner's Committee, which has sought to block . the project. Town Attorney Tom iVioorhead said the indemnification was a reasonable request by the fiitle company in exchange for providing title insurance for up to $20 million for improvemen4s on the Vail Commons site. In the event of a lawsuit, the agreement provides that Stewart Title Guaranty Company would be responsible for the firs4 $7,000 in a4torneys fees; the town would be responsible for the second $7,000; and both entities would split equally all fees in excess of $14,000. Before voting on the resolution, Councilman Michael Jewett said he chose not to participate in an executive session discussion of the issue because of his involvement on 4he Petitioner's Committee. In response to a question by Council member Sybill fVavas, IVloorhead said the review period for a court action in district court challenging the project as arbitrary and capricious has passed. Ground breaking on the Vail Commons development is expected to occur later this month. For more information, contact fVloorhead at 479- 2107. --Appeal of Planning and Environmental Commission Denial of Driveway Grade Variance Request The Council voted 4-3 (Foley, Ford, Armour against) to overturn denial by 4he Planning and Environmental Commission of a driveway grade variance request for a residence currently under cons4ruction at 795 Potato Patch Drive. Following the vote, Council members Sybill N'avas and Rob Ford emphasized the need for future applicants to plan responsibly in accounting for margins of error within the framework of the projecYs design rather than squeezing plans to the maximum grade, height or square footage, and then expecting to receive a variance from the town. For more details, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Departmen4 at 479-2145. --Town Manager's Report During an update on the railroad abandonment project, Towrn Manager Bob iVicLaurin recommended and received approval on a 7-0 vote to appropriate $4,000 to help Eagle County with legal fees associated with the local action. McLaurin said the town would be hosting a luncheon today (1/Vednesday) to thank 4odvn crews for their hard work during January's record snow fall. # # # (more) . ~ f Council Highlights/Add 5 UPCOMING DISCUSSION TOPICS February 13 Work Session All Day Council/Staff Public Process Work Session .

I apologize for the delay in responding to you. We are well aware of these trends and have been working to effect changes which will improve the situation. The Town of VailNail Associates Community Task Force is focusing on an effort to enhance the economic and community viability of Vail. The economic portion of this study would likely involve an analysis, which would 6e conducted by a panel of technical experts from around the country. This study would analyze existing economic trends and make recommendations on how best to address the situation. We have discussed utilizing the UrbanLand Institute for this study; however, we have not yet formalized this portion of the study. The Council recognizes the importance of this situation and is willing to take immediate and proactive steps to help address the situation. However, the Town is only one player. Indeed, the Council has tried to work to increase retail sales in Vail. Specifically, the Town provides an hour and a half of free parking in both of the structures, while also providing free parking from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. to encourage dining and shopping in the Vail Village and Lionshead. We have worked collaboratively with Vail Associates this year to provide discount parking for specific non-peak period times in order to increase skier visitation and retail sales during these non-peak times. Finally, the Town facilitated the creation of the Village Merchants Association which we hope will be a strong partner in our ongoing efforts to enhance local economic conditions. RECYCLED PAPER I As I'm sure you are aware, the Town must work collaboratively with merchants, lodges and restaurateurs if we are to truly improve this situation. The Town cannot solve this problem alone. We look forward to working with you in the coming months as we begin our efforts. Once again; thanks for your letter. I will keep you advised as to how this economic and community plan progresses and welcome your participation in this constructive process. Sincerely, TOWN OF VAIL Robert W.

VMlL 0911 64LWS PUT TO THE 11EST DUR'NAA FUANUARY9S RECORD SNOWFALL (Vail)--Tovun of Vail crews worked round-the-clock to plow and remove January's record snowfall. And there's a price to pay. In all, about $202,000 or 40 percent of the town's $500,000 annual snow removal budget was used to clear the town's 36 miles of streets, six acres of parking structures, 1,500 feet of sidewalks, 800 feet of stairs, 12 miles of walk paths, and numerous acres of free public parking areas last month. The storms dumped more than 11 feet in town during January, causing crews to remove more snow last month than what is sometimes removed all year. Currently, year to date, snowfall is approximately 150% of the 24 year average of 190 inches, or 300 inches so far this year. A typical average year is between 250 and 350 inches per year. Vail's Public Works/Transportation Director Larry Grafel said the 15 heavy equipment operators, seven maintenance workers, and 11 mechanics worked the equivalent of six weeks during the 31 days in January. Sixteen pieces of equipment--seven snowplows, five loaders and one grader--were kept running an average of 12 hours a day for a total of 3,600 hours. In all, crews used 780 tons of cinders and 1,600 gallons of magnesium chloride to clear the roadways. After that, 1,800 truck loads of snow was hauled, or the ~,v*~ ~more~ R CYCLED APER January Snows/Add 1 equivalent of one football field piled 22 feet high. The snow is stored at the town's six acre snow dump, with a capacity of 74,000 cubic yards, on the grounds of the Public Works facilities. Equipment costs totaled $96,000 for the month, while salaries totaled $56,000. Another $33,000 was spent on contract services for snow hauling and snow shoveling. Grafel says overtime costs were kept to a minimum, $18,000, because of a crew scheduling system implemented previously which assures 20 hours of snowplow coverage each day. , The town's snow removal priorities begin,with bus routes, school bus routes, and emergency vehicle routes, then high volume collector roads and the Village and Lionshead parking structures. Next come secondary roads, residential streets, free parking lots, bike paths and pedestrian walks. "Our crews have been tremendous," said Grafel. "You'd think we were in Kansas harvesting wheat the way we've been using our 14-ton per hour snowblowers." ; t In appreciation for their hard work, Grafel, Town Manager Bob McLaurin and the Vail Town Council hosted a luncheon for the crews today. # # # . , WORLDWIDE CHURCH OF GOD FEAST OF TABERNACLES 1.

This is a very special program to me - one which I have initiated statewide. The Child Watch Visitation program is designed to bring community leaders and other influential citizens closer to the reality of children's lives and to show them that there are positive, concrete things they can do to help solve the problems they see. This is a powerful tool for you, as a child advocate, to use in your work to improve the lives of children and families. Child Watch teaches, through first-hand experiences, that by working together, the public and private sectors can make a difference for our children. I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to form a Child Watch coalition in your community. Staff from the Children's Defense Fund will conduct the training session on Tuesday, February 27, 1996, from 2 to 5:30 p.m. at the Avon Library at 200 Benchmark Road. Please R.S.V.P. your attendance to Cherie Pa.ller at (970) 949-7097. If you have any questions or would like further information, please do not hesitate to call Kristie Kauerz, our statewide Child Watch coordinator, at (303) 866-4848. ' Sincerely, : .

After this expe; ience, we are the moved and the shaKen. These powerful words were spoken by Archbishop John Roach after his participation in a Child Watch Visitation Program in Minneapolis, Minnesota. All over the country, community leaders like Archbishop Roach are being shaken up by the things they see and hear, and by the children and families they meet through the Child Watch program. Everyl l seconds, an American child is reported abused or neglected Every 71 seconds, an American child runs away from home...Every 53 minutes, an American child dies from poverty Every 2 hours, a child is murdered. These statistics may receive a concerned nod from an elected official or a corporate leader, but it is hard to feel passionate about numbers. It is difficult to put your arms around phrases like "one in every five. " But. it is- hard not to feel passionate about a one-pound infant you see struggling to survive, an infant too small to wrap your arms around. Child Watch supplements the all important facts with the passion they lack. The Child Watch Visitation Program was designed by the Children's Defense Fund to allow our leaders to see first-hand what is happening to our children. Child Watch adds the faces and stories of real children to the statistics and reports. Organized by volunteers and advocates in local coalitions across the country, Child Watch:programs move executives, clergy, legislators, and other community leaders out of their offices, corporate boardrooms, and legislative chambers, and into the world of the real children and families whose lives they affect every day with tlieir decisions. Child Watch programs include four major components: 0 on-site visits to programs serving children and families; - o briefmgs by public policy experts and others; o written background materials; and 0 experiential activities. Together, these four components combine to serve as a comprehensive tool to educate community leaders about children's issues and motivate them toward action. Everywhere Child Watch is used, it helps children and families by building awareness, creating new leadership, and inspiring action. 25 E Street, NW Washington, DC 20001 Telephone 202 628 8787 >~'~21 Fax 202 662 3510 . Through Child Watch, we unveil a picture of children and families that many community leaders have never before seen, and one on vvhich they cannot easily turn their backs. We allow leaders to see that while the situation for rtiany children is critical, there are also wonderful programs, dedicated caregivers, and great hopes for the future. Child Watch gives local program coordinators and participants alike the opportunity to see, hear, feel, and touch children in their communities. . Child Watch not only shocks participants with what they see and hear, but also empowers those participants with the knowledge that they have the ability to make a difference. At the conclusion of each Child Watch visit, participants do not leave feeling powerless because of the magnitude of the problems they have witnessed, but rather inspired by the endless possibilities of the ways in which they can help. Each community coalition deterrnines the goals, focus, and format of its local Child Watch program. Child Watch in Los Angeles has exposed a wide range of religious leaders to the issues facing adolescents. Corporate executives in Kansas City have visited day care and Head Start centers as a part of their Child Watch experience. In Flint, elected officials join other communiry leaders as participants in Child Watch programs visiting homeless shelters, hospitals, and drug treatment facilities. While the area of focus may vary from community to community, the ultimate goal of every Cliild Watch program is the same: to improve the lives of children by promoting action on the local, state and national levels. Child Watch participants learn that every individual, congregation, organization, and business is powerful. Each can, and must, make a difference for children in their communities and across the country. Civic, religious, philanthropic, and community groups from across the country are active members of Child Watch coalitions. Involvement in. Child Watch gives organizations an opportunity to work collaboratively with others in their communities, learn more about the status of children and families, and play a key role in improving their lives. For more information about Child Watch activities in your area and how you can get involved, please call Becky Reynolds at 202-662-3660. ` 2-22-95 CWI PACKET Goafls of the Child Watch Visitatflon Progr°arn For many of us, including many of our nation's leaders, reports and statistics alone are not enough to move us to act on behalf of our children. If seeing is truly believing, then the way to convince ourselves and our leaders that our nation is in the midst of a crisis is to see first-hand what is happening to our children. The Child Watch Visitation Program provides those first-hand experiences and adds life to the seemingly endless stream of statistics and reports. The three major components of Child Watch are: 0 on-site visits to programs serving children and families; o briefings by policy experts; and o written background materials. They combine to serve as a comprehensive tool to educate our leaders about children's issues and motivate them toward action. The program has nine primary goals: . 1. T0 peIl'SOH9aVIl~~ chIlIld sIlIlffeIl'gnge While many people read about the serious difficulties faced by poor children and families, it is often not until individuals can see and feel these struggles for themselves that they become ready to work for change. 2. T~ creage a new ~adre of fleadea-s and influential citizens who are concerned alboa~~ and pea-sonaflly aware chifldren's needs. The pool of Child Watch participants could include members of Congress, state legislators, their spouses and staffs, business and foundation executives, local public officials and senior agency staff, reporters and editors, minority group women, religious leaders, elderly and civic leaders, and child and youth services agency staff members. 3. To ca-eate a sense of anrgency abou~ children°s needs and a climate for changeo Children cannot wait forever for policy makers and community leaders to recognize the extent and urgency of their needs, and America cannot afford to lose a single child. 4e "1Co heflp ~crnticall ugnass of community leaders make the connections betwee~ chIlfld SLIlffeH'IlBIl~ ~~ey See aIld lOCafly S6`lltey and federal budget priorities and pOlIlcIleS. It is essential to help decision makers and those who can influence decision makers understand that they have not only the ability but also the responsibility to make the choices that will benefit our most vulnerable children and families. 5. To show participants that there are positive alternatives and steps they and others can take to correct or alleviate the problems identified. The complex nature of the multiple crises faced by today's youths can seem overwhelming. The Child Watch program includes visits not only to sites that illustrate the range of problems faced by children and families, but also to sites that send a message of hope about the solutions to those problems. 6. To keep participants involved in an ongoing action network. Child Watch "graduates" will become a part of a network that the Children's Defense Fund, along with state and local advocacy organizations, can mobilize for a variety of actions depending on the level of commitment, desire, interest, and ability of participants. Action activities can include volunteerism, advocacy, philanthropy, and program development. 7. To affirm good local program providers whose fine work is often frustrated by funding struggles, isolatuon, and lack of a support network. Child Watch not only can give service providers a much needed "pat on the back," but can also provide them access to networks that could produce funds, board members, volunteers, and other types of support. 8. To build relationships with and among a wide variety of providers and child advocates through a sharecll undertaking of mutual benefit. Too often the good work of community groups, on behalf of children and families, is as fractured as the service delivery system. Child Watch is most often a coalition-driven project, and by working together on a joint project, groups are encouraged to share both information and resources. 9. To create a constituency for preventive and early interventioa investments. Child Watch can help overcome the pervasive myth that "nothing works" by introducing opinion leaders to effective programs and agencies. An additional benefit will be the introduction of busiriess and media leaders to effective nonprofit leaders. f• 1 ' 4VAIL TO 1~1 O75 South Frontage Road Yail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 FAX 970-479-2157 FOR BflflflAEDIATE RELEASE February 12, 1996 Con4act: Russell Forrest, 479-2146 Senior Environmental Policy Planner VAIL'S ENl6IRONMEfNTAL PROGRe4MS Ee4RIVING . . STATE, NATOONA?L ATTENTION (Vail)--Vail's environmental programs are earning state and national recognition for their innovation and responsiveness to community needs. The latest is recognition of Vail's Environmenfial Strategic Plan by the National Awards Council for Environmental Sustainability, based in Washington, D.C. The group, representing a coalition of 60 environmental, community, government and business organizations, has selected Vail for inclusion in a national database which lists the best environmental programs in fihe nation. The recognition is one of three awards received by the town on behalf of the community. Vail's strategic plan, adopted in 1994, identifies a series of public-private actions to protect 4he area's natural resources and increase environmental efficiency. Ac4ions to date have included: 0 the town's managed growth agreement with Vail Associates; 0 incentives to improve the area's air quality through the conversion of woodburning stoves and fireplaces; 0 creation of a partnership with local water users and other governmental entities to develop a watershed management program for Gore Creek; 0 open space acquisition, and preservation; 0 installation of recycling containers in partnership with the !/ail Board of Realtors; ° invofvement by students in environmental programs through a partnership with the local schools; ~more~ R CYCLED APER r i Environmental Programs/Add 1 • creation of the Mauri Nottingham Environmental Quality Award to recognize outstanding achievements by businesses, individuals and students. Additional actions this year include a project to increase the use of construction materials from commercial and residential demoiition projects. Russeli Forrest, Vaif's senior environmental policy planner-, says the effort has tremendous potential. "We're looking at a comprehensive approach in partnership with Eagle County, the waste y haulers and Vail Associates to increase the lifespan of the landfill," he said. Possibilities include relocating residential demo structures for use as affordable housing; creating a sorting or salvage yard at the landfill; or creating incentives for salvage operations. In 1995, the town issued 32 demalition permits within Vail's boundaries. Vail represents about 50 percent of the amount of solid waste contributed to the landfill each year, according to Forrest. Based on current estimates, the landfill has only 12 to 13 years of remaining capacity. Forrest says the waste management study will identify ways to reduce solid waste generation throughout the area and improve recycling. The . study is expected to be completed by October 1996. Other projects this year will inclucie activating the new Open Space Committee which will recommend which of the 75-plus town-owned properties shoutd receive protected open space status under the new voter-approved Charter Amendment. Also, the popular Vail clean-up day will be held in IVlay and nominations for the Mauri Nottingham Award wifl be launched soon. The town is also working with other community groups to develop a partnership for environmental education. This partnership is planning a (more) ~ i Environmen4al Programs/Add 2 festival on June 21-23 v?rhich will focus on environmental education. Also receiving state and national recognition is the town's Comprehensive Open Lands Plan. The Colorado Chapter of the American Planning Association has presen4ed the town wi4h an award for outs4anding planning and implementa4ion elements. In addifiion, the American Society of Landscape Architects has selected the project for a national merit award from among 68 entries submitted for planning and r urban design. Judges were par4icularly impressed by the specific actions stated in the plan and the town's ability 4o successfully implement 4he recommendations. The plan, dvhich calls for acquisition or other actions on 51 parcels throughout Vail, was profiled in the November issue of the society's journal, Landscape Architecture. An unprecedented 30 percenfi, or 1,100 acres of the land area in Vail, is open space. This includes over 400 acres of town-owned parks and 16 miles of trails. According to Forrest, fewr 4owrns or cities, if any, have been able to protect that proportion of open space in their communities. For more information, contac4 Forrest at 479-2138. # # # 0 E 1 e C : . . tors R eb'd Vail _ . r b eal estat . D 101OC6~S~ffiAlN Ro~ ~ . ` . _ .

The Colorado Associa4ion for Municipal Court Administration, which serves 168 members in 93 jurisdictions, selected Moore as the organization's outstanding member for 1995. Moore, vvho served as 4he association's president in 1994 and in a succession of ofFices prior to that, was recognized for her ongoing support and commi4men4 wrhich brough4 the organiza4ion fio a higher level of excellence. Also considered were her many accomplishments in Vail wrhich include the implementation of an automated case management and firaffic citation system, creation of bilingual materials for the court and assisting the tovvn with i4s quality improvement programs. In addition, iVloore vvorks wrifih local charities to dis4ribute canned food collected by the court. As court administrafior, Moore is responsible for all non judicial func4ions of the court which include case management and calendaring, budge4, personnel and planning. Moore is a member of the National Association of Court Managemen4, fihe Colorado Association for Cour4 Employees and the American Judicature Socie4y. She was ~~a ~more~ R CYCLED APER State Award/Add 1 nominated for the award by Marlene Rivera, a Vail co-worker. _ As a reflection of Vail's cosmopolitan community, Moore says she has come in contact with people from all over the world in her 12 years as court administrator. The majority of people who enter the judiaial process do so at the municipal level, she said. "It's an opportunity for municipal courts to be culturally sensitive to their respective communities and to provide easy access to the judicial process for defendants. Our entire staff works very hard to further the administration of justice," says Moore. In most cities, municipal courts are traditionally traffic courts. But in Vail, general ordinance violations, such as larceny, assaults, domestic violence and disorderly conduct charges outnumber traffic affenses by more than finro-to-one, she said. Not that there is a greater incidence of these crimes in Vail. The pattern occurs, she says, because Vail is 30 miles from Eagle where the county and district courts are located. When Vail ordinances permit, these matters are written into municipal court. Municipal Judge Buck Allen says Moore's recognition is well deserved. "Linda is an innovative administrator whose efforts in Vail Municipal Court have made it one of the most progressive courts in the state," he said. "She is well respected professionally and we are fortunate to have a person of Linda's caliber in our community." . Moore, who has a son Luke, age 14, has lived in Vail since 1974. # # # . - • - •...,L.. . ~:~,ifi;e::~..t..t..:.`~'..•.... -~"'~~i~ • . . ~ • t -~~~'~5 ~ il`.

Robinson 611 Shipton Lane Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 February 8, 1996 Dear Mr. Robinson, I would like to respond to your letter complaining of reduced bus service on the Golf Course route. As stated in previous correspondence by Bob McLaurin, the service on the Golf Course was reduced last year to meet the needs for peak and non-peak demands. This year again we think that the service is meeting the needs of the Golf Course. Since November 1995, encompassing over 150 days of service, we have only sent out six buses to pick up riders who have not been able to get on a regular scheduled bus. At alZ other times, the buses are not fullo In regards to driving rather than riding the bus, our parkinq numbers are also flat in the number of transactions this year. It doesn°t appear that we have had an increase in vehicular traffic due to decreased bus servicee If you have any further comments, please feel free to contact me or Mike Rose. Sincerely, , Larr' rafe Director cc: Town Council . Mike Rose, Transportation Manager Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
