C: WGENDA.TC VAIL TOWN COUNCIL EVENING MEETING TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1996 7:30 P.M. IN TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS EXPANDED AGENDA 7:30 P.M. 1. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. 7:35 P.M. 2. Consent Agenda: A. Approval of the Minutes for the meetings of July 2 and 16, 1996. 7:40 P.M. 3. Legislative Update by Jack Taylor and Dave Wattenberg. 8:10 P.M. 4. Resolution No. 14, Series of 1996, a resolution designating additional signers Christine Anderson on an imprest checking account for Library deposit transactions for the Town of Vail with Annie Murray and Marie Steffin as signers on that account, permitted by the Charter of the Town, its ordinances, and the statutes of the State of Colorado. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Adopt Resolution No. 14, Series of 1996. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Due.to night and weekend shifts, additional signers are requested. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. 14, Series of 1996. 8:20 P.M. 5. A request for authority to proceed through the application process for the Tom Moorhead expansion of the Vail Interfaith Chapel which could potentially encroach upon Dominic Mauriello Town of Vail owned property. Russell Forest Ned Gwathmey BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Vail Interfaith Chapel has appeared Jim Wear before the Planning and Environmental Commission at a conceptual level - with preliminary design plans for an expansion to their existing facility. The preliminary design shows an encroachment of the expansion onto Town of Vail owned stream tract. It has also been determined that the Vail Interfaith Chapel as it presently exists also encroaches into that same Town of Vail owned property. This request is merely for approval to go through the process and does not involve an evaluation of the design or any other considerations at this time. The Planning and Environmental Commission will properly review this application and will take into consideration all appropriate impacts such as wetlands and design issues. In the event there would ultimately be approval for a design that encroached upon Town of Vail owned property, that encroachment would be permitted through an agreement between the Town and the InterFaith Chapel. Regardless of the outcome of their approval process and effort to go forward with an expansion, it will be necessary to enter into an encroachment agreement for that portion of the Vail Interfaith Chapel which presently encroaches upon Town of Vail owned land. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve request to proceed with application for expansion. 8:50 P.M. 6. TCI update including infrastructure build out, continued support for Channel Tom Moorhead 5 and continuation of FM service. Ron Braden Brian Hall BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Steve Miller 1. System Rebuild. The Town of Vail and TCI entered into the present Fred Lutz Franchise Agreement on January 5, 1995. The agreement provides for a rebuild which shall utilize a"fiber optics to the service area" design. This rebuild is to be completed within 36 months of the effective date of the Franchise Agreement. Informally, at the time of negotiations, representations were made that the rebuild would in fact occur within one year of executing the Franchise Agreement. We have recently received correspondence that indicates the construction has begun. (See attached) We have not received however, a design of the complete system. As of August 5th, twenty months have expired since the entering of the agreement. With construction unable to go forward in the winter, it is important for TCI to update Council as to the likelihood of concluding the rebuild within the agreed upon time frame. 2. Continuation of Support for Channel 5. The Town Council has previously committed to continue its support for Channel 5 to the extent of finro percent of its five percent franchise fee. (See attached) This is a commitment to be reviewed regularly by Town Council as there is no provision for such funding in the Franchise Agreement. Discussions have arisen concerning TCI's commitment to continue to fund Channel 5. 3. Continuation of FM Service. There has previously been a commitment by TCI to continue to offer FM service within the Town of Vail. (See attached) This service is critical for the continuation of FM service to be received within this franchise area. The present General Manager has expressed the possibility of discontinuing the FM service. This statement of intention is contrary to the previously expressed commitment by TCI. The purpose of this agenda item is to provide Council with information and an update as to the present status of the operation by TCI within the Town of Vail. There is no specific action being requested of Council at this time. 9:50 P.M. 7. Town Manager's Report. 10:00 P.M. 8. Adjournment.

McLaurin, Town Managerp--- DATE: August 2, 1996 RE: Courchevel, France Courchevel, France is a ski resort located in the French Alps. The architecture and character of Courchevel was, at the time of its original construction, very comparable to Lionshead. Several years ago Courchevel underwent a significant transformation that resulted in the redevelopment of the Courchevel area. There are many similarities between Courchevel and Lionshead. Given the impending redevelopment of Lionshead, we have arranged for Jeff Winston to make a presentation to the Council about Courchevel. Jeff has visited Courchevel, has met with members of the Courchevel town staff, and has obtained copies (and translated) the development regulations. Jeff will make a brief presentation that will show similarities and how Courchevel approached its redevelopment. Hopefully, this will assist you as we move forward in the redevelopment of Lionshead. RWM/aw RECYCLEDPAPEX \ 1/ 1y TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road TO: Vail Town Council Municipal Court Yail, Colorado 81657 FROM: Vail Municipal Court 970-479-2129 RE: Council Visit Fax 970-479-2248 DATE: August 6, 1996 The Vail Municipal Court is a limited jurisdiction court of record, established to hear violations of the ordinances of the Town of Vail. Jurisdiction is exercised over juvenile and adult offenders. The vast majority of people who have contact with the judiciary do so at the municipal levcl. This underscores the importance of municipal courts and allows them to be more responsive to the culture in their respective communities. Court is held each Thursday as well as the second and fourth Fridays of each month with jury fials on select Fridays when necessary. The court staffconsists of Buck Allen, Municipal Judge; Linda Moore, Court Administrator and Diana Glenn, Deputy Court Clerk. A part-time position is currently unfilled. The position is scheduled to be job shared with an employee from the finance deparhnent after a recent reorganization and analysis of job duties. Case information is rapidly available for those who make inquiries to the court. An automation effort was made that includes a case management software program that was fully implemented in January of 1991. The case management system is a comprehensive information system designed to automate the administration and management systems of the court. The functions include, docketing, indexing, scheduling, calendaring, revenue tracking, historical data and statistical and management reports. The court is currently exploring opportunities to intcrface with the police and finance departments to create a more efficient operation and minimize dupiicate data entry throughout the arganization. Clancy, an automated parking ticket issuing and processing system, was installed in December of 1987 and has evolved significantly over this time period. Vail was the first municipal court in the state of Colorado with an automated parking ticket program. Vail Municipal Court is rccognized as a benchmark in this area, hosting court technology conferences in 1991 and 1994. Individual site visits and inquiries from such organizations as Aspen, Brcckenridge, Snowmass,Telluride, Greeley, Central City, Steamboat Springs, and recently Estes Park has resulted in installations in most of these locations. We are proud of our accomplishments in this area. To maintain the intcgrity and independence of the judiciary, it must stand as the third and separate branch of government. Ethically speaking, judicial proceedings are not driven by financial considersations, however, from an administrative position the reality is the court generates revenues. The court not only covers its budgeted expenses but collects additional revenues for the Town of Vail. In addition to the regular case management and parking system, we also manage warrants, probation, accounting, records retention and office administration.. Because this is a part-time 4FW • RECYCLED PAPER ~ r court, we perform some clerical duties for the prosecutor since he does not have a staff. Realizing this is unusual and could be viewed as a conflict of interest if not handled appropriately, an effort is made to clearly define the roles of all participants in the judicial process. The prosecution of the municipal court is supervised through the town attorney's office and is contracted to an outside attorney, Tom Silverman of Glenwood Springs, CO. Measuring court performance is difficult. The town wide survey indicated favorable ratings for the court. Workload is determined by the number of filings by the Vail Police Department, Sales Tax Administration, Code Enfarcement and Animal Control. Also, the activity of the prosecutor, the number of contested charges and the mix of the caseload all influence the work flow. The traditional municipal court caseload has traffic exceeding general ordinance violations as high as 9 to 1. Excluding parking, Vail has an approximate caseload mix of 3 to 1, general ordinance to traffic. After a recent survey of Colorado Municipal Courts, Vail was the only court surveyed whose general ordinance violation cases exceeded traffic cases. It obviously takes a great deal more time to manage an assault or domestic violence case than it does to handle a traffic matter. This is an important operational aspect to understand in order to make valid comparisons with other courts. MISSION To adjudicate complaints filed in Vail Municipal Court using the trail court performance standards as a system of ineasure which includes: *Access to justice *Expedition and timeliness *Equality, fairness and integrity *Public trust and confidence ISSUES FACING THE COURT In response to ongoing trends and barring an expansion of the jurisdiction of the court through legislation or a dramatic shift in the demographic composition of the population, the court does not anticipate a major shift in the issues it faces. 1. The court must comply with the standards set forth by the U.S. Constitution and other local governing agencies and process cases filed in the municipal court. 2. Increase operational efficiency working with other TOV departments, especially finance and police, to minimize duplicate data entry and allow access to departments with a operational interest in the outcomes of the court. Research and implement new software. 3. Frovide access to the judicial process for individuals that do not speak English or for - whom English is a second language. This would require providing interpreters for court participants at all stages of the judicial process. 4. Indigent defendants, who qualify under state established guidelines, apply and are assigned court appointed counsel when they are facing incarceration under a municipal offense. Increasing numbers of defendants are requesting this service. We look forward to your questions and demonstrating our programs. Feel free to stop by the court offices at your convenience. MINUTES VAIL TOWN COUNCIL MEETING July 2, 1996 7:30 P.M. A regular meeting of the Vait Town Council was held on Tuesday, July 2, 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 Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager Tom Moorhead, Town Attorney Holly L. McCutcheon, Town Clerk The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Former owrAr of the Hubcap Brewery commented on the roundabout and said how well it was working. Mayor Bob Armour expressed his thanks to the Volunteers of Outdoor Colorado and the citizens who participated in the North Trail construction project over the weekend. There were 189, participants on Saturday and about 100 volunteers on Sunday. Item number two on the agenda was the appointment of finro Art in Public Places Board members. Ballots were distributed to council members and a motion was made by Paul Johnston to appoint Nancy Andreson to a one- year term and Trish Kieswetter to a two-year term. The motion was seconded by Sybill Navas and a vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Third on the agenda was Ordinance No. 14, Series of 1996, first reading of an Ordinance Amending Title 18 Zoning, Sections 18.04.035 (Definition of Brew Pub) and 18.28.040 L. (Conditional Use for a Brew Pub in a CSC Zone District); Providing for the Revision to Production Limits, Area Used for Brewing and Bottling, and Limitations on Sales for Off-site Consumption Provided in the Vail Municipal Code. Town Planner, Dominic Mauriello presented the item and informed Council the applicant was requesting a Zoning Code amendment to modify the definition and the conditional use criteria for a brew pub. - The PEC reviewed the proposal on June 10, 1996, Dominic said, and recommended approval of the amendment (unanimously). There was discussion of possible impacts due to odor and loading and delivery demands. The applicant stated that because the brewing would still occur during the same hours; the odor impacts would remain the same. Applicant Lance Lucey stated that owner of the Crossroads commercial property would be requiring an odor filtration system prior to any major expansion in brewing operations, and that the system had already been ordered. The applicant also stated that the loading and delivery demands would be reduced due to the fact that fewer trips to pick up beer would be required, and should the Hubcap produce a higher quantity of beer, trucks can be more fully loaded, thereby reducing the number of visits. Dominic stated the conditional use permitting process would allow the PEC to evaluate the impacts at specific locations in Vail. The conditional use permit for the Hubcap was subject to numerous conditions to ensure compatibility with other uses in the zone district. Presently, the CSC zone district is the only district which allows a brew pub. Sybill Navas moved to approve Ordinance 14, Series of 1996 on second reading and the motion was seconded by Paul Johnston. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Agenda item number four was the 1st Quarter Financial Report and Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1996, first readina of an nrrlinanr.a makinn clinnlcman4ol ~nnrnnria4i~nc fr~m +h,.

Finance Director, Steve Thompson presented the item, and informed council members that the supplemental appropriation was necessary to cover additional expenditures beyond the 1996 budget appropriation. Steve explained that the Town normally does a supplemental in the spring and again at year end to cover unanticipated expenditures. It was the recommendation of staff to approve Ordinance No. 15 on first reading. Kevin Foley thanked Steve for his explanation and detail earlier in the afternoon. A motion was then made by Paul Johnston with a second from Sybill Navas to approve Ordinance No. 15, Series of 1996 on first reading. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. 1' Vail Town Counal Evening Meeting Minutes July 2, 1996 Agenda item number five was Ordinance No. 13, Series of 1996, second reading, 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 presented the item and stated there were no changes since the first reading. Mayor Armour thanked Dominic for all of his work on reorganizing the sign code. A motion was made by Sybill Navas to approve Ordinance No. 13, series of 1996 on second reading, and Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Item number six was Resolution No. 12, Series of 1996, a resolution allocating the balance of the Town's sales tax refunding and improvement bonds, Series 1992B. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead presented the item and gave the following background: In October, 1992, the Town issued bonds to build the Police facility. The original projections were that the improvement would require an expenditure of approximately $5.7 million and the resulting bond issue was in that amount. The actual expenditure for the project was $3,302,491. The resulting balance from the bond issue was $2,397,509. During the last six months there was an evaluation made as to whether it would be advantageous to refinance the existing debt. In the course of that examination it was determined that there had never been legislative action taken by Town Council to allocate the balance of the 1992 proceeds. Resolution No. 12 clearly sets forth the Council's intention to allocate the bond proceeds to the 1993 street project ($868,000) and the 1996 Public Works remodel ($1.5 million). The staff recommendation was to adopt Resolution No. 12, Series of 1996. Paul moved to adopt Resolution No., 12, Series opf 1996, with a second from Sybill. A vote was taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. ~ ~ Seventh on the agenda was Resolution No. 13, Series of 1996, a resolution of commitment to the Vail Tomorrow process. Town Manager Bob McLaurin stated that the Vail Tomorrow process was a collaborative effort to develop a community strategic plan. Bob added that the effort would help ensure the Town's continued economic viability and help build and foster the sense of community. The effort was initiated by the Town of VailNail Associates Task Force and would be coordinated through the Vail Tomorrow Coordinating Committee, and, as part of the effort, the Coordinating Committee believed that the success of the effort relied upon major organizations and agencies in the community to commit to the effort up front. Resolution No. 13 would formalize the Town's commitment to the Vail Tomorrow process and staff recommended adoption of Resolution 13. Rob Ford moved to adopt Resolution No. 13, Series of 1996, and Kevin Foley seconded the motion. A vote was then taken and passed unanimously, 7-0. Eighth on the•agenda was a report from the Town Manager. Bob McLaurin presented an overview of the work plan for the analysis on GRFA (Gross Residential Floor Area). Bob then pointed out that We Recycle had been turned over to BFI, eliminating the need for office space in the Community Development building, and said that use of the space had not yet been determined. - Kevin Foley expressed an interest in pursuing the issue of recycling green glass with BFI. , Paul Johnston expressed his condolences to the family of Barbara Barnes who died of a stroke that day. There being no further business a motion was made for adjournment and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Robert W.

Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear: Mr. Moorhead Construction has begun! ! Pursuant to the new franchise agreement with the Town of Vail, TCI Cablevision of the Rockies, Inc. has begun construction to rebuild the cable telecommunications system to 550 MHz (or 78 channel capacity). West Meadow drive is the location where the excavation started, and will proceed toward the Intermountain area this year. The progress that will be made in 1996 is twofold; primarily the "data network" connecting seven of the town's buildings will be "fired up" August 30 so that data can travel to these various buildings, and secondly, the picture quality for all TCI customers will improve from Intermountain to East Vail! From my perspective this rebuild is an interesting one due to the fact that the construction will cease for the winter. Generally speaking, rebuilds continue in perpetuity until the entire project is complete (except in the mountains!). However, the winter, with no construction being done will give us the opportunity to review the build and assess thoroughly the next phase of the project. The entire staff at TCI is extremely excited about the build and as always will communicate as much as possible in order to keep everyone in the valley informed as to what we are doing as well as execute this project with the utmost interest in safery. There will of course be events that occur that have never happened before however, this is because Vail has never undergone a rebuild of this magnitude. This is truly putting Vail, Colorado on the "information superhighway"! Lastly, but probably most importantly, new channels and also ancillary services are immediately what pops into everyone's mind when they hear the word "rebuild", but we must -remember that the fruits of the labor will come at full completion of the project which - is probably the summer of 1998 (depending on weather and other uncontrollable factors). The good news is that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel! All of us at TCI look forward to this project! If you should have any questions with regard to the project, please feel free to call. Sincer ly, ' ( ` 4-:~K Fred T. Lutz General Manager P.O. Box 439 0140 Metcalf Road Avon, Colorado 81620 (970) 949-5530 FAX (970) 949-9138 An Eoual Opaortunitv Emplover ~ Channel To The Vail Town Council, August 1, 1996 In an effort to maintain timely and accurate communication please be advised that TCI Cablevision has informed us that they will no longer continue to support Channel 5, Vail Valley Community Television with financial contributions. Fred Lutz, TCI General Manager called for a meeting with Steve 1kliller, Channel5 Board member, Susanne Silverthorne, Communications Officer for the Town of Vail and myself. At that time I asked him for a direct answer regarding their future contributions. Fred informed us that TCI will no longer be giving this money to community television. The 2 financial contributions in question were the 2% of revenues from the un-incorporated azeas of Eagle County that are served by the TCI system (approximately $15,000 per year), and the TCI yearly operations grant (approximately $15,000 per year). This total amount of approximately $30,000, is around 33% of our total budget. Both of these contributions have been a part of the cable company's financial support for as long as I can remember. , The nneeting was called by Fred to discuss the possibility of having the Town of Vail relinquish control of their local information channel, Channel 11, and moving that information onto Channel 5. He would like the ability to put another programming service on Channel 11. Fred also acknowledged that if Channel 5 no longer existed, he could use that channel also. ' I am obviously disappointed xhat throughout the franchise renewal process with both the Town of Vail and the Town of Avon, TCI, through then manager Stan McKenzie, gave us all a strong indication that TCI , intended to continue its financial support of Channel 5 in both these areas. Now that both towns have committed to lengthy 15 year franchise agreements, the funding stops. TCI is contracted through Avon's Franchise Agreement to give $10,000 per year for capitql equipment, to community television, through the life of their agreement. As we work towards fulfilling the vision of creating a more cohesive, vibrant and growing community, there is an ever more present need for better communication between all of our valley residents. I believe community television has been and can be a tremendous resource for dispersing information, increasing resident involvement and creating ongoing dialogues throughout our community to help us move forward. Programs like Vail - Tomorrow are tremendous steps forwazd in accomplishing this, but we need to continue to get the word out and engage more people. In closing, the failure of TCI to continue its financial support of Vail Valley Community Television will greatly effect Channel 5's ability to continue to provide the community television resource to our valley at its present level of service. I, and the other board members aze committed to working with you and your _ residents to insure that Vail Valley Community Television continues to exist as a valuable resource for our community in the future. As always, the board and myself are available to answer any questions you might have. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Avon, Colorado 81620 Dear Stan: In our last meeting concerning the renewal of our fran.chise agreement with TCI, the possibility of removing the FM portion of the cable line-up was discussed. Since that meeting I have taken the opportunity to do some investigation and believe it is important to advise you that the FM portion of the cable line-up is considered very importan.t to the Town of Vail. Due to the terrain in this region, there are manq locations within the Town which can not receive radio signals without the benefit of cable service. This service provides the only source of public radio broadcasts and is essential for Emergency Broadcast Sqstem notifications. I look forward to discussing this matter further with you as we continue our negotiations for the renewal of the franchise agreement. Very truly qours, ~ ~ R.

In that regard I want to ca11 to your attention a unique situation that should be addressed in the renewal agreement. KKYY FM In many other markets TCI has, or plans to, discontinued the carriage of local FM radio stations on the FM band portion of their cable lineup. In a non- srEZmooat sF.inGS mountainous area where the terrain is flat FM reception is no problem. In the Vail area this is certainly not the case. There are many sections of the town where residents either have great difficulty in receiving goal signals or cannot KIDN F!A get them at a11. In fact, this very problem is tne reason that their cable system enjoys almost 100% penetration of their homes passed. vy:'a:;ev Avo. I feel that the system has the same responsibility and obligation to carry local FM signals that they have in carrying Denver television stations. While this KzYR FM carriage is important to residents from an entertainment point of view, it is even more important fram a public safety aspect in assuring that all households are able to receive Emergency Broadcast System notifications. Our local station, KZYR, is the origination station for a11 other area radio stations in the EBS system. In the event of a disaster, such as an earthquake or major fire, - local radio would be the only immediate source of information for residents. Local radio stations, including KZYR, are the only broadcast source of local news and community event information for Town of Vail residents. Gardiner Broadcast Partners. Ltd. P.O.

Box 990 Edwards, Colorado 81632 970-926-5270 Fax:970-926-5235 July 15, 1996 Emergencies: Dial 911 For Immediate Release Contact: Lyn Morgan 970-926-5270 Eagle County Ambulance District has received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services for its compliance with national standards of excellence. Eagle County Ambulance District became the 50th ambulance service in the country to successfully complete the voluntary review process which included completion of a comprehensive application and on-site review by national experts in emergency medical services (EMS). With this achievement, Eagle County Ambulance District becomes the second ambulance service to be accredited in the state of Colorado. The commission is a non-profit organization which was established to encourage and promote quality patient care in America's medical transportation system. "The primary focus of the Commission's standards is high-quality patient care", said Ellen Stewart, Executive Director for the Commission. "This is accomplished by establishing national standards which not only address the delivery of patient care, but also the ambulance service's total 'operation and its relationships with other agencies, the general public, and the medical community. The Commission's standards.often exceed state . or local licensing requirements." Lyn Morgan, General Manager said accreditation "represents our firm commitment to our patients and community. We continuously strive to do _ our best and we viewed accreditation as another step toward excellence." "Our staff and board of directors have been key to our successful completion of the process. I think it gives the feeling of accomplishment and pride to work in an accredited ambulance service," said Morgan. "Everyone here played a valuable role in our ability to meet the Commission's high standards. We have achieved accreditation but it should be viewed as a stimulus for continued improvement and a way to better serve our patients."

N .z: • ~t , Understanding the new ICAO Weather Format by Bill Dunn and Art Kenne, Denver AFSS Dad chocked the wheels on that summer day in Nebraska, and his nod sent me toward the buiiding with all~~ . those antennas on top. He knew that I enjoyed this part of the trip, almost as much as the flying itself. j~; Engrossed in my 'mission," the sizable increase in humidity and heat since departing Colorado didn't cross my mind...at least until that gush of conditioned air ushered me in the door. The faces on these "weather-guys" were vaguely familiar since this was aiways a fuei stop on our } visits to the relatives in South Dakota. Waiting for dad to come in for his briefing, they let me look into the black cone that covered their RADAR screen, and quizzed me with information on the cryptic-looking tele=type sheets that hung throughout this metorology mecca. Many years have passed since that day, and with passage of time comes change. Personal examples: These days, I find myself sitting on fewer catalogs in the cockpit; and, now / am one of those "weather guys" that gets to do the quiuing when an interested kid comes to visit the Flight Service Station. Change is woven into the very fabric of flying. One flight can change your location; your experience; and,~ improve your attitudei And, I can't name many pilots who would wish-away the improve-ments to radios and navigation systems (raise your hand if you want a GPS!). With all of aviation's change, it surprises me that the weather format I read as a kid (see "cryptic-looking" above) has remained largely unchanged... until now. On July 1, 1996 the United States converted the weather formats we've known througout North America since aviation weather was first reported, to the International Civil Aviation Organization (1CA0) weather format. Some of you may have already experienced a briefing in the new format, through the FSS or DUAT. Weather lingo that has broken in over time, like your favorite pair of leather work gloves, are not there any more (like SA's, SP's and FT's). The hourly observation is called an Aviation Routine Weather Report, and abbreviated METAR (or SPECI for special reports). The airport terminal forecast is called an .~~=.r . Aerodrome Forecast, and be abbreviated TAF. But, take heart, while it looks completely different, the new International format contains much of the same information as the domestic. Additionally, your faithful and' ~ well trained FSS pilot briefers await your call, ready to provide information you can understand! Pilots using the Direct User Access Terminal System known as DUATS land some of the many com mercially provided weather servicesl should have a pl a i n l a n g u a g e i n t e r p r e t er provi de d by t he ven dor. Pilots: not using services with an interpreter, and pilots who want to read the actual report, will need to do some~,, practicing with the new format. It's not particularly difficult, and a free guide booklet is available from the " FAA Safety Promotion Staff, ASY-20. ~ r, _ The booklet can be obtained by calling ASY-20 at 202-267-7770, or by faxing your request to 202 366-7083.

Examples of some of the products follow the METAR and TAF explanations. Now, IeYs take a look at this stuff! Below are examples of an International Weather report (METAR)~~ ' followed by an example of a Terminal Forecast. Each part, or element, corresponds to the number beneat A brief explanation of each etement follows the examples. The explanations are introductory and pilots should not base their entire understanding of METARlTAF solely on this brief explanation. t~ Surface Weather Report IMETARI r .

Automated reports will contain the term AUTO. For example: METAR KDEN 251955Z AUTO. Element 2 is the Intemational abbreviation for Denver International Airport (the Kin front of DEN is the Internationai aviation country code for the United States.) Element 3 is the date and time of the observation in Coordinated Universal Time, also known as Zulu. In Denver, add 6 hours during daylight savings time and add seven hours during standard time to derive Zulu Element 4 is the wind direction and speed. The first three digits show the wind direction to the nearest 10 degrees. In the example above, the wind is blowing from the southwest, or 220 degrees. The next two digitsv s:. represent speed in knots, so, 15KT means a wind speed of 15 knots. Wind may also be reported as gusting or varisble. The G fotlowing wind speed is the abbreviation for gusting and is followed by a two digit number showing the peak gust, in this case, 25 knots. Wind varying in direction by 60 degrees or more is shown with a V for variable. For example: 180V270 means the wind is varying in direction from 180 degrees, southerly,-'"~ ° to 270 degrees, westerly. When gusts exceed 25 knots, a remark is entered after the main body of the weather report. For example: a remark of 22030/15 means a maximum instantaneous wind at 30 knots occurred 15.;;__: • minutes past the hour from 220 degrees. Element 5 is visibility and is given in statute miles. 3/4 means the visibility is three quarters of a statute mile. SM is the abbreviation of statute mile. Element 6 is for Runway Visual Range. The letters and numbers prior to the slant specify the runway, so, :R28R is runway 28 right. The letters and numbers after the slant give the distance in feet, so, 2600FT is 2,600 feet. Runway visual range can be shown as 'M," less than the lowest reportable value (ex: M600FT means less " than 600 feet), "P," greater than the highest reportable value (ex: P6000FT means greater than 6,000 feet), and "V," variable (ex:R06L/2000V4000FT means the visual range is varying from 2,000 to 4,000 feet). ; Element 7 is for significant present weather. In the example above, TSRA is a thunderstorm with moderate rain.' _ There are too many weather abbreviations to list here. It would be a good idea to obtain a list as found in the free guide mentioned above. Element 8 is cloud amount, height and type when the clouds are either towering cumulus or cumulonimbus. ..In;V; . the International environment, the amount of sky coverage is given in eighths, or octaves (octas) and heights are ; _ given in hundreds of feet. In the example above, the base of the overcast is 1,000 feet above the surface and _composed of cumulonimbus clouds. When the ceiling is indefinite, the abbreviation W, for vertical visibility,.aVs" ~ will preceed the height. Exampie: W004 means vertical visibility 400 feet above the ground. When W/// used, the height is not available. ..a, . Element 9 is temperatureldew point in Celsius. When temperature or dewpoint is below freezing (Celsius), theT ~ number is preceded by an M. Example: 10/M06 means the temperatire isplus 10 degrees Celsius, and the dewr,;-- point is minus 6 degrees Celsius. ~r` • " Element 10 is the altimeter setting. The A refers to a setting in inches of inercury. :s Element 11, RMK, is the abbreviation for remarks. It follows the body of the weather report. The remarks ~ section can consist of many parts. One example appears in element 12. Element 72 above is sea level pressure, SLP, expressed in hectoPascals (milibars). In this case the milibar reading is 1013. i ~ Terminal Forecast (TAF) The key to understanding TAF is being abie to determine the various time periods since the information containe"" within the time periods is almost identical with METAR format. As you glance at the example TAF below, bear in mind that 'FM" means from, and the 4 digits following represent the time in Zulu (FM2030 means from 2030Z). ~TAF KDEN 091720Z 091818 20020KT 3SM -SHRA BKN020 . ~s '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 . ~ FM2030 30015G25KT WS015/30045KT 3SM SHRA OVC015 9 10 PROB40 2022 1/2SM TSRA OVCO8CB . _ - . - - ' . . , . • . . g ~*,~uF ~ FM2300 27008KT 5SM -SHRA BKN020 OVC040 TEMPO 0407 OOOOOKT 1 SM -RA FG 12 - FM1000 22010KT 5SM -SHRA OVC020 BECMG 1315 20010KT P6SM NSW SKC 13 - 14 15 16 Elements 1 through 3 are the same as described in METAR above. Element 4 is the time period for the forecast. The first two digits, 09, represent the ninth day of the month. The third and fourth digits represent the start hour of the forecast, 1800Z on the ninth, and the last two digits represent the end time of the forecast, 1800Z on the tenth. Elements 5 through 8 read the same as wind, visibili ' example. tY, significant present weather, and ciouds in ihe METAR Element 9 is one of the divisions of time within the forecast. As mentioned earlier, FM means from, and the 4 digits following it represent the time in Zulu. FM2030 means from (or at and after) 2030Z. Bement 10 is for low level wind shear not associated with convective activity. WS is the abbreviation for wind shear and the three digits immediately following it represent the altitude at which the shear will be encount WS015/30045KT means wind shear will be encountered at 1,500 feet. The letters and numbers following the slant are the wind direction and speed in knots. . E Element 11 "PROB" represents a period of time when a weather event will "probably" occur. PROB40 2622 is ~ a 40 percent probability of a condition occuring between 2000Z and 2200Z. The probable condition wip be - described immediately following the time. , ` Eiement 12 `TEIWpp" describes periods of time within the main forecast divisions where conditions will change. In the example above, there is a main time division from 2300Z (FM2300) through 1000Z (FM1000).

Meadow Drive Vail, CO 81657 Re: Minutes of May 5, 1996 VRD Meeting Dear Hermann: I have reviewed the minutes of the May 5, 1996, VRD meeting. The minutes of this meeting indicate that during our discussion of the Ford Park Master Plan, I indicated that if softball and tennis facilities were disturbed during the construction of a parking structure beneath these facilities, "the Town of Vail would provide alternate facilities at Berry Creek or ponovan Park during the time of construction." This statement does not accurately reflect my comments at that time. In my comments I recognized the importance of softball and tennis, and that should these facilities be disturbed, the Town would work with the VRD to help come up with temporary facilities. I did not commit the Town of Vail to provide temporary facilities to the VRD during construction of a parking structure at Ford Park. I would appreciate it if you would have these minutes corrected to accurately reflect my comments at the meeting. If you have questions or wish to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to call me at 479-2105. Sincerelg, TO OF VAIL Robert W.

Brown 4512 Timberfalis Court #1105 Vail, CO 81657 Dear Ms. Brown, Thank you for notifying the Town of the mining exploration activity occurring around Timberfalls on U.S. Forest System lands. We have discussed this matter with the U.S. Forest Service and have found that Hard Rock Mining Co. has completed the necessary permits for doing exploration work in the area on their mining claim. It is our understanding that if this company attempted to begin any extraction activity that they would have to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act which would require an environmental analysis. This analysis would have to examine the environmental and socio-economic impacts of any proposed mining activity. The Forest Service has assured the Town that we would have every opportunity to comment on any proposed mining activity. We have made it very clear to the Forest Service that the Town of Vail would be very much against any mining extraction activity in the Vail Valley because of its obvious visual and environmental impacts. We will continue to monitor this activity. Please feel free to call me at 479-2146 if I can be of any further assistance. ~ - Since /1y, / Russ Senior Environmental Policy Planner X.C.

We will soon begin publishing a CTTA newsletter from which you may extract articles, data or news items for your own member communications programs. Also inside you'll find a copy of the article on mountain biking that the CTTA staff recently placed in USA Today. USA Today is currently working on several other stories pitched by the CTTA staff, includinJ a winter activities roundup. Finally, the CTTA staff placed a story on scenic drives with NBC's Today Show. The story, which will include Colorado, is scheduled to air on August 10, 1996. On behalf of the CTTA staff, we hope you're having a very busy summer! Sincerely, `_i' ~ ~ ` ~ . Ketly Ladyga Director of Communications P.O. BOX 3524 • ENGLEWOOD, COLORADC, 80155 TELEPHONE (303 296•3384 • FAX J303) 2s6•2015 THE COLORADO TRAVEL & TOURISM AUTHORITY LAUNCHES INTERNATIONAL MARKETING PROGRAM by Kelly Ladyga, C7TA Director ojCommurrications July 16, 1996 This month, the Colorado Travel and Tourism Authority (CTTA) is embarking upon another exciUng': venture with its new international marketing program. The program is designed to generate awareness of the Colorado destination vacation product and stimulate additional groNvth in key international markets, particularly Germany and the United Kingdom. - IV- "Over the last decade, Colorado has made significant inroads in promoting tourism in markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Mexicq Canada, the Benelux countries and Japan. These markets haVe~~r- traditionally produced a high return on investment in both the number of international visitors to Colorado and the amount they spend here," said Eileen Gordon, director of international marketing for the CTTA. She added, "As competition for domestic market share grows fierce, these international markets become even more appealing because of their vast opportunities." , The appeal of international markets is made evident by ihe numbers. Most studies indicate that international visitors spend as much as six times that of their domestic counterparts and they typically stay longer from two to six weeks. Since 1986, international visitation to the United States has grown 72 percent while expenditures have risen 200 percent, according io the Travel Industry Association of,~ America. Last year alone, international visitation to the U. S. generated a trade surplus of $19.6 billion. In Colorado, international visitation has increased more slowly, at an annual rate of four percent. But . beriveen 1992 and 1993, spending by international Nzsitors in Colorado soared from $391 million to $538 million 38 percent. Achieving success in the international markets requires a strong, aggressive marketing communications program that reaches travel trade, consumers and the news media. In addition, most leaders in the international travel trade industry prefer to follow protocol b}• working ivith just one entity, most often the state tourism offce. That's why the CTTA recruited a seasoned veteran, Eileen Gordon, to develop and direct its international program as a full-time staff member. Gordon has more than 10 years of experience in the field from directing the Colorado Tourism Board program and running her oN,,n international marketing business. The new CTTA intemational marketing program «dll include the following strategies: * Provide in-market representation in the United Kingdom (1996) and Germany (1997). In-market representatives work to generate awareness of the Colorado product, and generate and respond to inquiries from travel trade, the news media, airlines and consumers. They also explore promotional opportunities, and coordinate trade missions and fam trips. * Coordinate Colorado's presence (and participate) in major international travel trade shows " throughout the year, including POW WOW in Madrid (Sept. 16-18) and World Travel Market in London (Nov. 11-14). The CTTA will sponsor a booth in the two shows, offering participants both a price discount and a unified presence under the Colorado banner. * Produce a quarterly Colorado newsletter and distribute it to more than 800 intemational travel trade members in Europe, Canada and Latin America. Publish an international , directory of all participants and distribute it to international uavel trade and news media via trade shows and direct mail. . -more- INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM Page 2 * Develop new promotional and marketing opportunities for partners and stakeholders to reach , consumers and the travel trade under the Colorado banner. Already the CTTA is producing a . 16-page, four-color supplement for publication in both consumer and travel trade magazines in the . U.K; . , . , . . , . . . Opportunities to receive intemational consumer and travel tradeleads. For example, the CTTA is cunently generating more than 200 consumer leads each month. * Development of intemational market research, to be shared with participating partners and member stakeholders. ; The objective of this program is to place the Colorado destination product in the forefront of vacation" choices among consumers and travel trade in key intemational markets. As a result of implementing this ; program, the CTTA intends to reestablish a ColoradQ presence in important international markets and, ' ulUmately, increase the number of intemational visitors to the state. The CTTA viill fund all `administrative costs associated Nvith the program and, in addition, will match dollar for dollar monies committed by participants for the marketing components. Participation in the program is open to the CTTA member stakeholders and partners and requires an , additional investment above the normal membership dues. There aze, however, N•arying levels of financial participation for both partners and member stakeholders. Anyone interested in receiving a packet of . information about the program should contact Eileen Gordon at the CTTA office, (303) 296-3384. . r ~ . - . _ . ~ • 1 ' . , . . . . . . ' . . ' r ' .

It's great to hear comments from the community about housing ideas, especially from , those who rc a4 think "outside the box." Your suggestions concerning the three existing condominium developments, north of the Vail Commons development are, indeed, innovative. One of the difficulties encountered with redevelopment of condominiums is the multiple ownership issue. The Town has observed the difficulties encountered working with multiple owners and lenders. It's time-consuming and extremely difficult to reach consensus. However, if your neighborhood can make the numbers work on this type of redevelopment scenario, and are interested in taking it a step further, I can put you in contact with people whocan give you insight as to the viability of the project. One of them is Lauren Waterton, our Planning Liaison Officer, who could review zoning standards relating to development density, parking requirements, and overall floor area for any proposed reconstruction. Thank you for your creative ideas. If you would like to pursue them furthcr, please do not hesitate to contact me. Concerning your suggestion with the Post Office, I encourage you to contact them directly, as I'm sure you understand the Post Office works autonomously from the Town. But, for what it's worth, I'11 place a call personally to the Postmaster on your behalf.
