VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING
June 4, 1996
7:30 P.M.
A regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was held on Tuesday, June 4, 1996, in the Council Chambers of the
Vail Municipal Building. The meeting was called to order at approximately 7:30 P.M.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Robert W. Armour, Mayor
Kevin Foley
Mike Jewett
Paul Johnston
Ludwig Kurz
Sybill Navas
Rob Ford
MEMBERS ABSENT:
TOWN OFFICIALS PRESENT: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager
Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney
Hoiiy L. McCutcheon, Town Clerk
The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation, Vail resident, Bill Wlto distributed photos showing an array
of newspaper boxes in the Village core and suggested the town work to improve the presentation of dispensers.
Next, Fred Lutz, new area manager for TCI Cablevision of the Rockies introduced himself and TCI's technical
manager, Mark Graves, to council members.
Item number two on the agenda was the Consent Agenda which consisted of the approval of the Minutes for the
meetings of May 7 and 21, 1996. Town Clerk, Holly McCutcheon distributed revised minutes for the May 21
meeting and Paul Johnston moved to approve the Consent Agenda, with a second by Sybill Navas. A vote was
taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Third on the agenda was Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1996, first reading of an ordinance creating Section
17.32.050, Plat Title Fnrmats, and amending Sections 17.16.130C, Final Plat-requirements and procedure and
17.22.030, Condominium and Townhouse Plats-submittal requirements, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code.
Mayor Armour read the title in full and Town of Vail Planner, George Ruther; presented the following background:
The Community Development Department was proposing three amendments to Chapter 17, Subdivision
Regulations and Construction Design Standards, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code. The amendments propose
to include Plat Title Formats, as Section 17.32.050 and to amend Sections 17.16.130C, Final Plat-requirements
and procedure and 17.22.030, Condominium and Townhouse P(ats-submittal reguirements. The purpose of
amending Chapter 17 was to define a standard format for plat titles in the Town of Vail and modify the
- requirements and procedure. Staff felt that the creation o# a standard format for all plat titles would help reduce
past inconsistencies which have caused indexing and referencing problems for the Town of Vail and Eagle
County. George informed council members that on April 22, the PEC had voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend
approval of the proposed amendments to Chapter 17 of the Town of Vail Municipal Code.
Sybill Navas moved to approve Ordinance 12, Series of 1996 on first reading and the motion was seconded by
Kevin Foley. A vote was then taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. .
Agenda item number four was Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1996, second reading of an ordinance amending
Title 18 Zoning, Chapters 18.12 (Two-Family Resid,ential (R) District), 18.13 (Primary/Secondary Residential
District, 18.54 (Design Review), 18.56 (Environmental Impact Reports), 18.58 (Supplemental Regulations), 18.60
(Conditional Use Permits); 18.62 (Variances), and 18.66 (Administration) with respect to Administration and
Appeals Procedure of the Vail Municipal Code. Town Planner, Dominic Mauriello, presented the item, and gave
the following history: At a meeting of the Town Council on May 21, 1996, Council tabled Ordinance No. 7 on
second reading in order for staff to make some revisions to the ordinance. Concern was raised by Council
regarding the language included in the provision for a fee. The language had been modified to reflect the changes
proposed by Council. Concems were raised by Art Abplanalp ouer the use of the vuords NannPliap" anci urAni eAe+" ,
and also about the listing of adjacent property owners. The word "appellee" had been replaced with the word
"appellanY" and the word "request" had been replaced with the word "appeal" throughout the ordinance. Staff felt
that the amount of time required to assemble a list of adjacent property owners was acceptable, and that such lists
rarely exceed 7 names and addresses. Dominic then stated that staff recommended approval of Ordinance No.
7, Series of 1996, on second reading. Art Abplanalp applauded Council and staff for their willingness to listen to
and incorporate suggestions, but stated he still had concerns. Those concems were discussed in detail and council
members made several suggestions.
Paul Johnston moved to approve Ordinance No. 7, Series of 1996 on second reading, incorporating changes as
discussed, Rob Ford seconded the motion. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
1 Vail Town Council Evening Meeting Minutes June 4, 1996
, Fifth on the agenda was Resolution No. 8, Series of 1996, a Resolution renaming Lion's Ridge Court to Glacier
Court. Mayor Armour read the title in full and George Ruther reviewed details, explaining that the property owners
on Lion's Ridge Court had requested a change of the name from Lion's Ridge Court to Glacier Court, as
evidenced by a petition signed by all of the property owners on Lion's Ridge Court. George further stated that Staff
found the applicant's request reasonable, and recommended the approval of Resolution No. 8, Series of 1996.
Pat Dauphinais, one of the finro property owners was present to answer any questions.
A motion was made by Sybill to approve Resolution No. 8, Series of 1996, and Ludwig seconded the motion. A
vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0.
Item No. Six on the agenda was the appointment of finro Local Licensing Authority Members. Town Clerk, Holly
McCutcheon presented the item and requested Council appoint finro individuals to fill the expiring terms of Don
White and Connie Knight. Don White and Connie Knight had both submitted letters for reappointment by the
published deadline and no other letters were submitted. Ballots were then distributed to council members, and
voted. Holly then tallied the votes and presented the results to Mayor Armour. Sybill moved to reappoint Don
White and Connie Knight to serve new terms, due to expire June, 1998. Rob Ford seconded the motion. A vote
was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Mayor Armour thanked the two for their continued service.
Seventh on the agenda was an appeal of the Planning & Environmental Commission's (PEC) denial of
a request for a height variance to allow for a residence, currently under construction, to exceed the 33-foot height
limitation for residential structures. The project is located at 1339 Westhaven Circle/ Lot 23, Glen Lyon Subdivision
(SDD #4). Applicant: Bill Anderson representing Mr. and Mrs. Hovey. Dominic Mauriello presented the item and
provided council members with the following background: On January 8, 1996 the PEC unanimously denied a
similar request for a building height variance for the structure. The denial was appealed to Council on January
6, 1996. The council failed to pass a motion to either uphold or overturn the PEC decision, therefore the PEC decision was automatically upheld. On May 13, 1996, the PEC denied another request for the same variance, and
the applicant was appealing that denial. Dominic stated the applicant was in the process of constructing a
residence on Lot 23, Glen Lyon Subdivision, and that the Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) submitted by the
applicant indicated that sections of three separate roof ridges were constructed at heights exceeding the 33-foot
maximum height allowance for residential structures. The ridge height figures provided by Eagle Valley Surveying's
ILC were constructed a maximum of 8 inches above the 33-foot height allowance. The applicant's requested that
the PEC grant a height variance to retain the roof ridges at the existing, constructed heights.
Dominic stated the applicant believed that the Town's topographic survey policy allows for a one foot variation in
existing elevation and that if given a one foot variation the building would be within the height limitations. The
Town's policy did not allow variations in building height, and now require a spot elevation under proposed roof
elevations prior to the site being disturbed. In this particular case, Dominic stated, the building height problem
resulted from the addition of heated floors and not from a survey error, and that it was the Staff s recommendation
to deny the applicant's request to overturn the PEC decision.
Town Attorney, Tom Moorhead explained that because there was a 3-3 vote, the PEC decision stood, as there
must be a majority vote. Bob Armour questioned why the issue was once again before Council, and if one could
- appeal time after time. Tom said there was no limit on the number of times an applicant could submit an
application for a variance and appeal.
Dave Peal stated there were new issues that had come to light, concerning the accuracy of the Improvement
Location Certificate and the actual topo, and that the national standard allowed for a 1' plus or minus tolerance
based on 2 foot contours, and Dan Corcoran, professional land surveyor, explained the discrepancy in detail. He
also stated he was here on his own, not at anyone's request or payment.
Discussion continued regarding the construction process, changing plans, and the Town's new survey policies
which went into effect March 28, 1996.
Paul moved to overtum the PEC decision, and Sybill seconded the motion. A vote was taken and was defeated,
3- 4, Rob Ford, Kevin Foley, Bob Armour and Ludwig Kurz voting in opposition.
Dave Peel then presented Council with an improved design solution, and Paul Johnston moved to allow the
applicant to modify two of the three roof ridges, as presented in the improved design solution. Kevin Foley
seconded the motion. A vote was taken and passed, 4-3, ROb. Ford. SVbill NBVas; ancl Rnh Armni ir wtinn in
opposition.
Item No. Eight on the agenda was an appeal of the PEC denial of a request for a density variance to allow for the
construction of additional GRFA within an existing primary/secondary residence, located at 3130 Booth Falls
Court/Unit B, Lot 6, Block 2, Vail Village 12th Filing. Applicant: Brent and Barbara Bingham.
Dominic Mauriello provided Council with the following background: In November of 1995, an inspection of the
residence revealed a vaulted area had been converted to GRFA without a building permit. The additional GRFA
was in excess of that permitted by the Zoning Code. On November 20, 1995, the appellants were sent a letter
stating that the additional GRFA must be removed. The appellants then decided to apply for a density variance
to allow the additional GRFA. On May 13, 1996, the PEC denied the density variance request (3-1-1) finding that
the granting of the variance would be a grant of special privilege. The appellants were appealing that denial.

f
r
, Dominic continued, stating the applicant had converted a vaulted area (183.5 sq.ft.) above their garage to habitable
space (GRFA) without a building permit. Staff became aware of the violation following the discovery of a similar
conversion in the adjoining duplex Unit "A" (the Shiffrins). In the Shiffrin's case, staff became aware of the '
unpennitted construction after the Fire Department responded to an alarm at the subject property. Construction '
was on-going when the Fire Department arrived, and no building permit was in evidence. The Shiffrins were
required to remove the improvements since there was only 11 sq.ft. of available GRFA on the property. The
Shiffrins applied for, and were subsequently denied a density variance on October 9, 1995, which they further
appealed to the Town Council. The PEC decision was upheld by the Town Council on October 17, 1995. '
The allowable GRFA for the property was 4,700 sq.ft. The duplex received a Certificate of Occupancy on February
10, 1993. The approved GRFA for the duplex was 4,689 sq.ft. The conversion added 183.5 sq.ft. of GRFA to
the duplex. Therefore, the variance request was to allow 172.5 sq.ft. of additional GRFA. Dominic then stated
that the recommendation of Staff was for denial of the appellant's request to overturn the PEC decision.
Resident and applicant, Barbara Bingham addressed Council and referenced a letter she had written, explaining
her variance request in detail. Rob Ford moved to direct staff to draft an agreement between the parties requiring
payment of a fine in the amount of $400 and to work with Council on the GRFA issue in the future, that the
applicant post a bond, and that the agreement be recorded with Eagle County, leaving the space as is.
Tom Moorhead suggested the remodeled area be subject to inspection for health and safety reasons, and further
stated the item could be tabled until the next evening meeting, giving staff time to reach an agreement with the '
Binghams. Mrs. Bingham stated they were willing to work with the Town.
Rob then withdrew his motion, and moved to table the item, allowing time for an agreement to be reached between '
the parties. Paul seconded the motion. A vote was taken and passed, 4-3, Sybill, Bob and Ludwig voting in '
opposition.
The next item on the agenda was a report from the Town Manager. Bob McLaurin reminded Council members
about the public meeting schedule in connection with the West Vail Interchange project.
There being no further business a motion was made for adjournment and the meeting was adjourned at
approximatety 9:30 p.m. '

The first item on the agenda was a special recognition for Buddy Lazier, a resolution honoring Buddy Lazier 1996
Indianapolis 500 Champion. Mayor Armor Read Resolution No. 9 in full. Buddy was present with his fiance, Cara,
to receive the award. Paul Johnston moved to adopt Resolution No. 9, and Rob Ford seconded the motion. A vote
was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. After the vote, Paul read a letter of congratulations from Governor Roy
Romer, and Mayor Armor extended his congratulations and expressed the pride felt by the community. Buddy
stated his excitement in bringing home the trophy to Vail, and thanked the citizens of Vail for their continual support
throughout his career. Many who knew Buddy and turned out to congratulate him included: Bob Young, Rocky
Christopher, Kent Rose, Ludwig Kurz, Rod Slifer, Pete Feistman, John Biziniano, Pete Abuisi, Tim McAdam, and '
Dr. Bill Stera. Vail Associates President, Andy Daly presented Buddy with a season ski pass.
Item number two on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Vail resident Sue Dugan referenced a letter she '
received from the Community Development Department denying her request to appeal a finding by the town
regarding an illegal employee housing unit on her property in the Intermountain neighborhood. Ms. Dugan stated
the EHU had been in place for 20 years, prior to her purchasing the property, and should have been grand
fathered in. Ms. Dugan also said she was in possession of a list (which she was unwilling to share) of at least 6
other properties which were not in compliance, similar to hers. Town Manager, Bob McLaurin stated he was not
prepared to take action without investigating the matter more thoroughly. He said he would personally look into
the matter and report back to Council. '
Third on the agenda was Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1996, first reading of an Ordinance Amending ,
- Title 16 Signs, Chapters 16.12 (Administrative Procedure), 16.20.010 (Designated), 16.20 (Sign Categories), and '
16.22 (Sign Categories for CC3 Zone District and ABD Zone District); Providing for the Reorganization and
Clarification of the Sign Regulations of the Vail Municipal Code. Town Planner, Dominic Mauriello requested
Council review and discuss the proposed ordinance No.13, Series of 1996, and explained that over the years, the
Sign Code had been amended and zoning districts had been added to the Zoning Code, which were not reflected
in the Sign Code, rendering the Sign Code inconsistent. He further explained that in order to correct the ,
inconsistencies and create a Sign Code that would be easier to read and comprehend, staff was proposing to
reorganize the code. Amendments and reorganization would be accomplished with minor changes to the
substance of specific sign regulations or definitions, as follows:
1. Addition of zoning districts not currently reflected in the Sign Code by the creation of a table which shows
all of the zoning districts and which signs are allowed in each district. '
2. Changes to specific sign categories as approved by the Town Council on April 2, 1996, including revising
language that required Design Review Board approval for signs over 5 sq. ft. in size, in order to allow staff
approval.
3. Provisions to allow for a development sign on all residential properties under construction. The proposed
temporary site development sign being limited to 6 sq.ft. in size, to include only the project name, project
address, the dispfay of permits, and a site depiction/rendering.
Dominic further stated the Planning and Environmental Commission had reviewed the proposal on May 20, 1996
and recommended approval. Additionally, Dominic said that Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1996 was step two in
the process of amending and reorganizing the Sign Code. At that time Paul moved to approve Ordinance 13,
Series of 1996 on first reading and the motion was seconded by Rob Ford. A vote was then taken and passed
unanimously, 7-0.
Agenda item number four was Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1996, second reading of an ordinance creating

.
r
~ Section 17.32.050, Plat Title Formats, and amending Sections 17.16.130C, Final Plat-requirements and nrocedure
and 17.22.030, Condominium and Townhouse Plats-submittal requirements, of the Town of Vail Municipal Code.
Town Planner, George Ruther, requested the Council approve, modify, or deny, on second reading, the proposed
amendments to Sections 17.16.130C and 17.22.030, and the creation of Section 17.32.050, of the Town of Vail
Municipal Code, and provided a brief background, stating the purpose of the amendments were to define a
standard format for plat titles in the Town of Vail and to amend the requirements and procedure. George said
staff's opinion was that the creation of a standard format for all plat titles would help lesson the inconsistency of
plat titling and reduce indexing and referencing problems.
Sybill moved to approve Ordinance No. 12, Series of 1996, on second reading. Rob seconded the motion, which
passed unanimously after a vote, 7-0.
Fifth on the agenda was Resolution No. 10, Series of 1996, a resolution to adopt the procedure to
, petition the Town of Vail Local Licensing Authority for permission to pay a fine in lieu of retail liquor license
suspension. Town Attorney, Tom Moorhead asked Council to consider adopting the provisions of Section 12-46-
107 and Section 12-47-110, Suspension or Revocation-Fines as set forth in the Colorado Revised Statutes., and
explained that the Colorado Liquor and Beer Codes set forth a procedure to allow a licensee who had been
ordered by decision of the Local Licensing Authority to experience a retail license suspension for 14 days or less
to petition the Local Licensing Authority to pay a fine in lieu of such suspension. Tom informed Council that It was
necessary for the Town of Vail to accept and adopt the optional procedures before the Local Licensing Authority
could consider such petition, and indicated Sections 12-46-107 and 12-47-110 Suspension or Revocation - Fines
were attached for review by council members. Tom further stated that any fines received would be deposited into
the town's General Fund. Discussion continued regarding the criteria for the fines as outlined in the statute.
A motion was made by Sybill to approve Resolution No. 10, Series of 1996, and Mike Jewett seconded the motion.

Town of Vail Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as a high priority action for providing access to Buffehr Creek Park
from Chamonix Lane and to allow for further expansion of Buffehr Creek Park for active recreation. Resolution
No. 11, outlines the general purpose for the purchase of the land, and specifically provides that the land is not
restricted for any particular purpose and that it can be used for any purpose consistent with present or future
zoning and could be sold or leased. The purchase price for the lot was $190,000, and not subject to transfer tax,
Tom said.
Sybill moved to approve Resolution No. 11, with a second from Mike. A vote was taken and passed unanimously,
7-0.
Seventh on the agenda was a report from the Town Manager. Bob McLaurin stated everything had been covered
at the work session earlier in the day.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR JULY 9
Work Session Briefs
Council members present: Armour, Foley, Ford, Jewett, Johnston, Kurz, Navas
--Colorado Mountain College Update
Cynthia Heelan, president, presented an overview of CMC's activities through
distribution of several publications. Her update covered CMC's mission, goals, budget,
demographics and major accomplishments during the Iast three years. Those
accomplishments include creation of an interactive video system to hook up all seven
college campuses (in six counties) and developing a creative financing approach to
enable the sale of private bonds to fund construction of new residence halls in 1997
without using taxpayer dollars to pay for construction. The bonds will be paid off
through the collection of student fees. In response to a question from Sybill Navas,
Heelan said CMC is exploring the possibility of future employee housing and residence
hall housing to serve CMC's operations in Eagle County. Also, Michael Jewett
encouraged Heelan and the CMC administration to bring its Elder hostel program
(courses, workshops and seminars for older citizens) to the Vail campus. Currently,
Heelan said the program is offered on the three CMC campuses which have resident
halls (Steamboat, Glenwood and Leadville). However, she said it might be possible to
negotiate with some of Vail's lodges to provide temporary housing to accommodate the
program. Council members welcomed Heelan's update and noted the tremendous
- amenity the Vail campus adds to the community. CMC operates on a$21 million
annual budget and serves 21,000 students district wide. For a copy of the CMC
handouts, contact Anne Wright, 479-2106.
--West Vail Interchange Update
The Council heard an update on the West Vail interchange project from Public Works
Director Larry Grafel. Grafel said an extensive citizen involvement process is being
used to validate problems at the interehange and to solicit ideas for solutions. He said
the process, which is currently approaching step 3 of a five-step schedule, has been
well-received by the public and participation has been extremely useful in and clarifying
key issues and concerns. Those public discussions--7 to date with more on the way--
have generated a problem statement, goals and objectives, possible solutions and a set
~ (more)

Council Highlights/Add 1 .
of criteria to help narrow the 17 possibilities that have been suggested. Grafel said the
process will continue with an Open House series on July 17 and 18 at the West Vail
Lodge to review five or six alternatives that meet the majority of the criteria
requirements when compared with all the other ideas suggested. Next, Grafel said,
the process will involve further refinement of those alternatives, again criteria-based to
determine three possible, preferred alternatives. Then, the alternatives will be
presented to the Town Council, which will make the final decision on selection of an
alternative. Grafel said that decision could be made by the Council in late November or
early December, with construction beginning as early as next spring. Also yesterday,
the Council heard a report from the town's project partner, MK Centennial Engineering,
on the origin and destination study conducted at the interchange on June 26 and 27.
The study had some surprising results, according to Grafel. It was originally assumed
that a large number of vehicles utilized the interchange solely for the purpose of
traveling north-south on the frontage roads. But surprisingly, the study saw most of the
traffic movements during the morning and afternoon rush hour was for the purpose of
accessing the interstate to and from the west. What's more, according to Grafel, there
was more traffic heading west out of town during the morning rush period, than the
amount of traffic heading into Vail from the west. The afternoon movements were
equally split between the percentage of those coming into Vail from the west and those
heading west from Vail. The study's results are significant, according to Centennial's
engineers. It means congestion at the interchange won't be significantly reduced by
some of the more popular suggestions, such as spreading the ramps farther apart or by
creating a north-south underpass at Simba Run. Centennial will review winter traffic
studies conducted previously by the town, as it continues to assist in a feasibility
assessment of the options presented. For more information about the project, contact
Larry Grafel or Town Engineer Greg Hall at 479-2173 or 479-2160.
--Information Update
Andy Knudtsen, the town's senior housing policy planner, presented an update on the
Red Sandstone locals' housing project proposed by the Eagle River Water & Sanitation
District (formerly the Vail Valley Consolidated Water District). Conceptual plans for the
project will be presented at a meeting of the water district board at 4 p.m. July 16.
Knudtsen said the town expects to receive a formal development application from the
district in July or mid-August. From there, the review process, to include a request to
_ re-zone the property from general use district fo medium density multi-family district and
a possible request to create a special development district, will take from four to six
months to complete. Construction of the project could begin next spring with the project
completed the fall of 1997. By providing a portion of the land, the Town of Vail will be a
25% partner in the project, Knudtsen said. In all, 18 deed-restricted for-sale units are
planned (six 1-bedrooms, six 2-bedrooms and six 3-bedrooms), which is 9 units less
than the surrounding density allows, Knudtsen said. Also, each unit will have a one-or
two-car garage. The residences are expected to be made available to water district and
Town of Vail employees.
Also, Knudtsen invited council members to attend a West Vail neighborhood picnic at
Buffehr Creek Park at 5 p.m. Thursday (7-11), where residents will receive an update

Council Highlights/Add 2
on several neighborhood projects, including Vail Commons. The discussion will focus
on the need for four accessible (handicapped) parking spaces to provide federally-
required access to the townhome units along Chamonix Lane. Although the four
spaces would be accessed via Chamonix, traffic impacts would be minimal since the
spaces would not connect the remainder of the development, Knudtsen said. Other
updates at the picnic will include the intended expansion of Buffehr Creek Park and the
West Vail interchange project. For more information, contact Knudtsen at 479-2440.
It was announced that the town's chip seal program will resume July 11-15 on
Westhaven Circle and Greenhill Court. Also, it was noted the paving schedule for
Sunburst Drive will be completed by the'end of July.
In response to a request last week by Kevin Foley, Assistant Town Manager Pam
Brandmeyer said the maintenance project on the Katsos recreational path would be
done incrementally to minimize the impacts. The project will start by the end of July.
Sybill Navas passed along a complaint about some graffiti on the I-70 column at the
end of Big Horn Road.
Council members noted the new Pulis/Golf Course bridge looks great.
--Council Reports
Rob Ford said the Vail Tomorrow process team is working hard to plan the project's
kick-off, schedufed for July 19, 20 and 21. He encouraged council members to
participate in the events.
- . - -
Bob Armour reported on his attendance: at a meeting to help select winners of the
Mauri Nottingham Environmental Quality Award, the Fourth of July parade and a 99
World Championship meeting kick-off.
--Other
Kevin Foley, who had received word that the Colorado State Patrol had been issuing
tickets to bicyclists on the interstate, suggested the town clarify the issue with the CSP
and possibly add another sign prohibiting bikes on the interstate (between East Vail and
_ West Vail) to help increase awareness. Police Chief Greg Morrison agreed to follow up
with the CSP.
A walk of the Dowd Junction bike path by the director of Public Works and the project
engineer will take place from 10 to noon Thursday (7-11) to review the project. Council
members were invited to participate. The path is due to be completed by October. For
more information, contact Larry Grafel at 479-2173.
F>_
The Council voted 2(Foley, Jewett) to 4(Armour, Navas, Ford, Johnston) to turn down
a$500 request from organizers of the Bicycle Tour of Colorado, which is ending its 415-
mile tour in Vail on July 18. Organizers had asked for assistance to help offset
unanticipated expenses to rent the Ford Amphitheater for a post race party. The event

will bring 400 to 500 riders to Vail. Although council members were sympathetic to the
request, those who voted against the request said the town should hold firm to its
donation policy, which requires all requests for the ca(endar year to be considered at
one time during the budget process. Organizations interested in receiving an
application for 1997 funding must notify the town by 5 p.m. July 26.
, Kevin Foley shared feedback from merchants indicating the Fourth of July was a great
ho(iday weekend for business, while Paul Johnston complemented the police
department for its hard work.
And, finally, Bob Armour complemented his colleagues for their help in making the last
evening meeting run smoothly by doing their homework and being informed on the
issues. While the meeting agenda showed 2.5 hours of work, council members ran
through the agenda items in record speed--35 minutes.

FORD PARK
DISCUSSlON Pieters reviewed TOV plans for 300 to 500 parking spaces at
Ford Parlc which invoives a structur+e under the cument softbatl
fields. The extra patking wifl be needed to service the area
when multipte events are being held. Afpine Gardens, VA
- and the TOV al( are in favor of that plan. If it is adapted, it will
result in the toss af both soflball fietds. VRD's proposal is
to build a parking structure on #he gravel lot which wilf pravide
, approximatety 200 spaces designated fvr Ford Park. This
proposa{ will work if scheduling for evenis is handled properly
to prevent over bookiryg, and have bus service to and irom the
town's other iwo lots. VRD needs to preserve Forc! Park and
ensure no users are added to the area until replacement for
the fieEds is found. VRD program users will be encouraged to
write in their apinions of these plans.
GOLF COURSE „
UPDATE Bender stated the rate increase wilt be jusffied when the
greens get better_ He would pre€er not sodding prob(em
areas at this time but letting tthe ar+eas get up to speed
naturally. He has been planting new trees and maving
several others. Ekstrom reported having a full staff as of
Monday the 10th. To be more customer iriendty, the Rangers
have been renamed to Player's Assistants. Bath Bender and
Ekstom recommend galf carts be restncted to the paths when
the course is wet, and if not wet the 90 degree tule be
enforced with the option to walk made avaitable_
TENNIS, SPORTS
UPDATE Construcfion at the new volleyball courts is compteted and the
fields are ready. Bill Wright tennis camps are starting up.
There will be no changes in the fee structure for the season
pass, however there have been comments that there should
be more variance betumeen the residents and non residents
amounts.

Town Manager

Vail, CO 81657
Dear Bob:
As always, it is my pleasure to take a few minutes to express the appreciation of the WTCB
to you and the Town of Vail for supporting our events. Over the past year and a half, your staff
have made substantial contributions to our efforts and last weekend was no exception to the
outstanding cooperation we receive from the town. I
Vail America Days '96 was a very successful event, not only for the VVTCB but for many other
businesses and organizations which benefited from great crowds, great weather and plenty of fun
and entertaining activities that created a very positive experience for our visitors.
Once again, many of the Town of Vaii's departments and their respective management and staff
members helped us deliver a quality event. As I mentioned in a letter to Larry Grafel, we do
not take for granted the contributions made by the town, but it is somewhat comforting to know
that you will do everything within your means to help us make Vail a fun and exciting place to
be.
We are very grateful to everyone within your organization who helped out. Please extend our
thanks to them all!
Sincerely,
.

Vail Town Clerk
RECENT FINDINGS BY THE LOCAL LICENSING AUTHORITY
At its regular meeting today, the Town of Vail Local Licensing Authority found an area bar guilty of two -
violations: 1) selling alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person, and 2) selling alcohol to a minor. The license
was suspended for five (5) days and the licensee was required to pay a fine in the amount of $2,500 to cover
administrative and investigation costs.
Last month the Authority found a license holder guilty of having allowed a visibly intoxicated person to be
served and suspended that license for five (5) days. Three (3) days were held in abeyance for a period of one
year pending no further violations, two (2 )days suspension must be served.
CHANGE IN AGE REQUIREMENTS
A new bill which has recently been passed made it legal for persons 18 years old or older to serve malt,
vinous and spirituous liquors as long as they are actively supervised by a person at least 21 years of age who
is present on the licensed premise. This provision of allowing persons 18 years old or older to serve does
NOT however apply to liquor stores or taverns that do not regularly serve full meals.
FOOD REQUIREMENTS

manufactured, sold wholesale, consumed on premise, or to go in sealed containers.

` FRONTLINES
Greeti ngs from the Executive Di rector
, Welcome to the first edition of Inside SCI. This publication was created to assist sister ciry volunteers in leadership position with
their local programs.
Inside SCI will supplement our quarterly publication, Sister City News, and will be published six times a year. Initially, 2,000
copies will be distributed nationwide to sister city chairs, presidents, mayors, government officials, and other key sister ciry activists of
SCI member cities. The magazine will include useful information on fund raising and volunteer recruitment, give practical tips on
operating your local program, contain vital networking news about innovative programs, and update you on the activities taking place
at the national office. Many of the articles will come from experts in the field of nonprofit work, as well as experts in local sister ciry
programs.
I urge you to read this inaugural issue from cover to cover and send me your critiques. If you find the concent useful and beneficial
to your program, please share the information with your sister ciry boards and volunteers. Obviously, as in anything, there is room for
improvement, so I welcome your suggestions or changes. Please don't hesitate to call and share them with us.
fi Enjoy!

Vail Town Govt.
Dear Ms. Connelley:
This is to confirm in writing the concerns I expressed to you
on your voice mail system in early June regarding Lionshead ;
development.
I am an interval owner at Vantage Point (for approx. 15,years).
The proposal of a hotel/donf. ctr. at the Lionshead parking °
structure will have a direct negative impact on our unit. :yiy '
family is also against any renovation of Lionshead itself. We
see no need for it.
Please express our concerns with others in the town government.
Thank you. .

• Colorado Mountain College was one of five community colleges selected to participate Student success
along with six universities in a nationwide study that compared the academic gains of by identifying and
community college and university students. Researchers found no significan[ differ-
ences between the two groups of students. Ernest Pascarella, director of the study responding to
concluded that "community colleges are a pretty cost effective way for a lot of people to their needs~
get their first two years of school."
• Members of the student success task force worked to define success indicators for all four of the college's mission goals.
• Our faculty determined what an Associate in Arts and Associate in Science graduate should know when they leave
Colorado Mountain College. Student learning goals were determined for the following skill areas: communication
(writing, reading, and speaking); mathematical and scientific reasoning; computer literacy; foreign language; learning and
research; higher level thinking; decision-making and problem-solving; interpersonal and group interaction; aesthetic
responsiveness; citizenship/social responsiveness; and valuing. Faculty identified methods of assessing student achieve-
ment related to these learning goals. Individual classroom assessment using classroom research techniques will assess
course achievement of learning goals. A collection of student work in a portfolio and capstone courses will assess student
learning throughout the Associate Degree programs.
• Members of the enrollment task force reviewed tuition costs, student fees, registration processes, student loan and
financial aid processes and bookstore processes. Committee members are working to ensure that all college processes are
student-oriented and customer-friendly.
