QUALITY AND QUANTITY COlViN1ITTEE (QQ) PURPOsE The mission of the Water Quality and Quantity Committee (QQ) is "to enable its members to protect and enhance the quality of Colorado's waters while facilitating the responsible use of those resources for the good of all Colorado citizens and its environment." QQ monitors water development activities and legislative initiatives which affect water quality or quantity in the basin of origin. Regularly scheduled meetings of the QQ Committee operate as a forum for poiicy formulation and strategy decision-making by QQ Committee members. The QQ Committee staff provide members with monitorin; of legisiative activities, water quality information, litigation and advocacy support, activity coordination, cooperative problem-solving assistance, transmountain diversion oversight, and technical assistance to further intergovernmental cooperation and increase political clout with state and federal agencies. HIS'TORY The QQ Committee was first established in 1978 as a cost savings measure designed to coordinate legal activities regarding transmountain diversions for the headwater counties. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, elected officials from headwater communities found it difficult, if not impossible, to have a voice in water issues that affected their communities. Today, communica.tions between East and West Slope local government officials occur frequently and headwater communities are clearly recognized as players in the process. QQ has worked to turn the litigation a.nd challenges which characterized the 1980s into new efforts which promote cooperative problem-solving approaches to water issues in the 1990s. The QQ Committee has been a leader in this arena, sponsoring the Glendale Water Forum, the 1991 Water Quality Search Conference in Winter Park, and initiating the Colorado River Headwater Forum. These efforts brought together diverse stakeholders in the Upper Colorado River Basin and began exploring a common vision of:lZegion 12's and Colorado's common future in water issues.' Other QQ activities have included the following: ° QQ staff assisted in the drafting of HB 1041 regulations for member counties • QQ defended Eagle County's denial of a 1041 permit for the Homestake II water diversion project • QQ represented several member jurisdictions in the State's hearings on adopting the Antidegradation Ruie and the State's 401 rulemaking process • NWCCOCi and QQ worked to get a state-of-the-art water quality management plan that linked water quality and quantity adopted by the Water Quality Control Commission 0 • QQ initiated and administered the Colorado River Headwater Forum ° QQ sent an open letter to the Front RanQe requesting a comprehensive approach to water management in the state CURItENT LEGISLATIVE TNTERESTS QQ is actively monitoring legislation that pertains to "takings" issues and many Iocal counties and towns are considering adopting resolutions against "takings" bills. Instream flows is another issue of interest to QQ members, although QQ has not yet taken a position on proposed changes to instream flow laws. QQ will continue to morutor any legislation addressing HB 1041 authority and wil] actively work to protect HB 1041 from being weakened in any form. Water quality protection and watershed management remain strong priorities for our members. ORGANdZATION The QQ Committee is a division of the NorthWest Colorado Council of Governments. 1995 QQ members are: Eagle County Aspen Aspen Sanitation District Grand County Breckenridge Avon Metropolitan District Pitkin County Dillon Bellyache Ridge Metro District Summit County Eagle Breckenridge Sanitatioa District Fraser Buffalo Mtn.

Sneaker: CHRIS GATES, President of National Civic League, Denver, CO - Representative de;mocracy may work at the federal and state levels, but does not work at the local government level. - People must do more than vote every two years. - Business, governinent AND non-profits Nlulti-sector collaboration, not just public-private partnerships, is the key to community health. - Interest-based activists include neighborhood groups, PTAs, League of Women Voters, etc. NINTBYS - Not in My Back Yard LUI.Us - Locally Undesirable Land Uses environmental racism . NOPE - Not on Planet Earth CAVE - Citizens Against Virlually Everything Taking positions based on beliefs, values, philosophies, principles leaves no raom for negotiation and compromise. Citizens are angry and expectant, but NOT apathetic they feel that their voices do not matter. 1 CHRIS GATES (cantinued) The media tends to be cynical and negative about government. The attitude is that career progress is based on bringing people down. The choice is to play by "the rules of the road" or have community chaos (I.e., people in the far right lane deciding to turn left regardless of the impact on others). NEW PARADIGM? 1) Shift in focus from federal, level to local 2) Less reliance on government to solve all problems 3) Shifting from zero-sum politics to win-win solutions 4) Shift from power of the few to power of the many S) Leadership shifts from rnonolithic (one value%ne notion) to diverse (many vatues, many perspectives) broadly, widely, thinly-disbursed power That is a different model of leadership, and much tougher for leaders. 6) Fundamental redefinition of "trust" (although it may actually have been less about "trust" than about deference to authority) restore faith incollective action vs. paternal care restore faith in community trust government as a partner, ally, friend reinforce the bond! COMNTENTS: DAN KEMMIS - Trust is reciprocal. - A fundame;ntal element of leadership is building up the community's confidence -what they have done well (need to overcome sense of negativity) -what they are capable of - BITILD CAPACITY! 2 PART II• DAN KEN1M1S and CHRIS GATES ("CIVIC JIINKIESn DIALOGUE WITH AUDIEN E Chris Gates - Civic journaiism/public journalism movement Knight Ridder newspapers - Wiichita Eagle, Charlotte Observer 1Vledia is not a neutral observer lots of value judgements are made. Dan - Journalism is in an identity crisis, due to falling circulation/competition from electronic joumalism. -Possible responses include: a) high visual (compete with television), b) more sensationaUmore divisive, or c) civic journalism (not do-good bottom-line oriented). Dan Kemmis - Providing information is a key part of what we can/should do as local government. Chris Gates - People do not feel well inforrned. Dan - Economies operate organically don't care about political jurisdictions. ' We should re-align political jurisdictions along what really happens "on the landscape". REGIONALISM Chris - The economic transformation which has occurred in our country contributes to loss of hope, especially for young people. People are no longer playing by the rules because the old rules/paradigms no longer work. There is no pay off anymore. There is little time or interest beyond activities associated with survival. Question: How can citizens be expected to act civilly when they feel personally threatened by our society/economy? Chris Gates -"Uncivil people" are created by the system. Three significant and underutiltized aspects of interaction with citizens: 1) ASK 2) LISTEN 3) RESPOND Pay respect to EVERY.member of the community. Dan Kemmis - Talk of values is too abstract. Daily activity is REAL. Give people the opportunity to WORK together. The "differences" that we think divide us dissolve when working together. E.g., The people of 1Vlissoula built a carousel. There was a tremendous pride of , creating together; ideological divisions were urelevant. And it was seen as "the people's" project, not a City project. THAT is TRUE public life, not the time spent in front of a microphone 3 Y Ouestion: Wha+ about the nhenomenon of naid nolitical activ_ists? Dan Kemmis - The capacity that is built up in the community, by whatever source, is good. The challenge for leadership is to work with it. Chris Gates - Agree;s that it is a good thing if it brings more people to the table. Even working on individual interests and efforts about community. Remind peaple of that! People are turned off by the level of rancor. COIVCLUDING REIVIARKS: Dan Kemmis -"The body politic" is basically a healthX body, can get healthier through effort. . We CAN bring greater health to the body CIVIC HEALTH. There is more responsiveness out there than we imagine. Local government is a healing profession. Chris Gates - There are both easy things and big things to do to get healthier. Organizations (of any kind) that do well are those that are willing to take risks. Pushing the envelope is good! We need to redefine the bond between people and their government. Susan Connelly 6/20/96 f:\everyone\susan\cm1.619 K ~ ~ V V~....

Since its inception five years ago, Trees for Vail volunteers have planted more than 1,000 trees and shrubs along the interstate and roadways to help beautify the community, Bowen said. Saturday's tree planting, part of this weekend's EarthFest celebration, will take place at the east end of the soccer field. There, 50 trees, 50 saplings and dozens of plants will be planted. Town Council members congratulated Bowen for his work in transforming the Trees for Vail concept into reality. For details on Saturday's activity, contact Mike Mollica in the town's Community Devetopment Department at 479-2144. --Pay-In-Lieu Parking After a discussion on the impacts of the current pay-in-lieu parking program, the Town Council agreed to consider a possible alternative which wouid leave the regulation in place (which currently assesses $16,333 per space), while adding a revision which would allow for possibfe exemptions or creation of development incentives based on benefits to the community. The criteria for such incentives would then provide the framework for consideration. It was also suggested that a five-year payment plan associated with the program be extended to accommodate the fee structure which has risen from $1,000 per space in 1978 to $15,000 in 1994. The program was originally developed to reduce vehicutar traffic in the core areas, and to ensure that private development shares in the responsibility of providing parking for the core areas of Vail Village and Lionshead. Several Council members, including Mayor Bob Armour, said although they support the concept, they're concerned the fee is too high and is likely discouraging redevelopment opportunities. Two other suggestions surtaced during the discussion: 1) allowing a mechanism to have free use of a parking space for those who pay into the fund (currently the policy does not reserve 'specific parking spaces for (more) RECYCLEDPAPER "s t ~ Council Highlights/Add 1 ' i those who pay into the fund, nor does it allow free parking for contributors); and 2) creating an opportunity to remove the parking pay-in-lieu requirement forcommercial core properties with reasonable vehicular access to promote privately-funding parking areas. The Council will take up the matter again at a future work session'. For additional details or background, contact Mike Mollica in the Community Development Department at 479-2144. ~ --Sign Code Ordinance Revisions ~ In preparation for the evening meeting, the Council reviewed an ordinance to reorganize and clarify the town's sign code regulations. Council member's were told the revisions are part two of a three-part overhaul of the sign code provisions. Council member Sybill Navas said she preferred to wait until the overhaul was corrIpleted before passage of the ordinance. However, the housekeeping measure was approved on first reading at last night's meeting by a vote of 7 to 0. For more information, see evening meeting briefs or contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148. i --1995 Audited Financial Statements The Council heard an audit report from Jerry McMahan of McMahan and Associates, indicating the town is in good financial condition.

The briefing°s critica.l ffiessage is that the entix'e 6destern Region has an uggent need for the ffiultiple eneironmental and econoffiic benefits of heacivater storagee Colorado has the surplus wet year snowmelt. Tt also has the high altitude, off-river, storage sites needed for low cost gravity augmentation of rivers an both sides of the Divide during long droughts. Traditioaal daffis on rivers could becoffie obsolete. In the briefing I use Arapahoe County's IInion Park Project as the only ongoing example of how a collaborative Aeadvater Storage Prograffi could -work for Colorado and all down river states. As the originator of Union Park, I have knowledge of the extraordinary advantages of headwater reservoirs, when used conjunctively as drought back-up for existing water supplies. At the start of the briefing, I clearly state I do not speak for Arapahoe County or represent potential Union Park participants. Arapahoe has owned this unique project since 1988, and they have,been doing an excellent job of perfecting its water rights. The local, state, and regional benefits from this particular headwater storage project will be better known in 1997, when the available water storage rights for drought protection are quantified. Meanwhile, Colorado's invaluable headwater storage potential should be eealuated and promoted by idestern natural resource leaderse Low cost headwater storage is the modern vay to cooperatively consegee, use, and reuse limiteci Western uaters to enhance our natural anci htaman eneiroxments. Since the Denver Water Departffient is heavily involved with Integrated Resource Planning, it should fully evaluate the readily attainable benefits of headwater storage for meaningful planning results. I would be honored to provide an informative Headvater Storage Briefing for the Denver WateP Boarcl when deemed appropriate. 7.'hank you. jn-ce rely, .

Holzfaster ~ VAILGLO LODGE ' ORAwER IB9 Vail, Colorado 81658-0189 Mayor Bob Armour June 21, 1996 1'own of Vail 75 S. FPOntage Road Vail, CO Dear Bob9 !recently read an artic@e concerning a LaonsHead redevelopment prajec$ weth Vail Assaciates. I buslt Vailg6o Lodge un 1973 and arn one of the very few hotel owners an Vail actively involved in the operation of his hotel. We went through a LionsHead redevelopment project about 12 years ago so this one as a replay of the same themee Iam weYl aware that everyone is concerned about the decline of Vail as a destination tourist Pesort. This downtrend started about 1990. [7own the line af you have any time Iwould 6ike to $alk to you concerning LionsHead. Except for Packy I am probably the only one who has been 6n LionsHead for aImost 25 years. For this reason, i have seen a nurnber of changes bn LionsHead but I believe that the basic concept has always been viab9e. Otherwise, Iwould not have remained here. Anyway, enclosed aPe several of my comments concerning the LionsHead redevelopment project. Thanks for your t6me. . Sincerely, e CRAIG A. OLZFASTER CAH/ek Enclosures ~ r~ LIONSHEAD SUGGESTIONS The last thing we need in Vail is more hotel rooms. Hotels are struggling to make it now. More hotel rooms on the market just makes it worse. The best improvement that the Town could make would be a conference center next to Dobson Ice Arena not a hotel with another conference facility. Hotels presently guard their conferences because of the fierce competition for survival. We cannot even get conference names and -dates from other hotels. A large conference center would eliminate a lot of this competition and allow people attending these conferences to stay at a variety of hotels. This would have two immediate benefits: 1. It would allow guests to choose hotels and encourage each hotel to upgrade its facilities and accommodations instead of forcing guests to stay at the conference hotel. Hotels would actually be forced to compete on quality. 2. As far as Lionshead is concerned, it would increase traffic through the mall to the conference center. This would bring more revenue to LionsHead and increase the number and quality of inerchants. You also have to look at the configuration of buildings in LionsHead. The three LionsHead hotels are on the west side of the mall. Whatever is done, DO NOT LIMIT ACCESS IN LIONSHEAD IN ANY WAY ! This is the biggest complaint that we get about the Vail Village core area and this is why people like LionsHead. Don't ruin a good thing. - I would relax design guidelines in LionsHead and allow merchants to expand into the mall area with maybe some innovative designs. I would also beautify the mall area with minor improvements. But the biggest boost to LionsHead would be the conference center next to Dobson. ANOTHER CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS A MISTAKE. You can beautify LionsHead as much as you want and it won't make any difference. (Remember this was done about 12 years ago and before that about 25 years ago when LionsHead was created.) What you want is additional traffic in the mall and it will not happen unless you build a conference center. ~ ; , Another ex$reme9y irtnpor$ant point is that !lAiL IS FAR. T00 EXPENSIVE FOR THE lIAST MA+JORIl"Y OF PEOPLE. This includes potential sumrner and winter guests and os one of the major reasons for the decline of Vail as a $ourist dest6nation resorg. A conference center would allow people to come to Vail for a business purpose which would defray a large part of the cost of their $Pip. This would open up a much larger potential market for Vail. This conference center will allow Vail the ability to accommodate really large conferences. It will effectively °°split up°' the fiercely protected conference business which will result in an explosion of business for LionsFOead and Vail Village. By the way, Vailglo Lodge has no conference space so I can speak a Bittle more objectively about this subject. f am aware that a conference center was voted out several years ago, but you have to remernber that rnost of the citizens of Vail are not really knowledgable about what brings people to Vail and how the resort hotel/condo business works. I have been on $he front line setling roorns for almost 25 years in LionsHead and believe that 1 have some expertise in this rnatter. ,
