ACTION.REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: To consider the two above
mentioned issues, and to consider a proposal from the White
River Institute to support the community facilities project.
BACKGROUND RATIONAL: All of the public uses are
critical and the opportunity to create an unique facility rests
with the integration of both recreational and
cultural/educational amenities. The concept of the 2nd sheet
of ice and family activity center is relatively well understood.
The learning center concept has captured the imagination
and interest of many in the community. However, we need
to refine the concept and obtain additional community buy-in
to the idea. Staff would propose working with the White
River Institute to:
0 1) Discuss how to refine the learning center concept and
develop a fund raising program. (45 mins.)

Subject Community Facilities Process Update
INTRODUCTION:
On July 18th, the Town Council decided to eliminate alternative 3 from further consideration
and to focus future efforts on some variation of alternative 1 or 2. Council also asked that
additional information be brought back to the Town Council on the hotel and time be
provided to discuss whether the Town Council should move forward with an election in 2000
for the community facilities project. The following are the critical issues that we need
council's input on to move forward effectively with this project.
ISSUES FOR COUNCIL'S CONSIDERATION
NEXT STEPS FOR REFINING THE LEARNING CENTER CONCEPT
All of the public uses are critical and the opportunity to create a unique facility lies with
the integration of both recreational and cultural/educational amenities. The concept of
the 2nd sheet of ice and family activity center is relatively well understood. The learning
center concept has captured the imagination and interest of many in the community.
However, we need to refine the concept and obtain additional community buy-in to the
idea. Staff would propose working with the White River Institute to help refine the
concept, build grass roots support, and assist in a fund raising effort for both the
recreational and learning/meeting center uses. The White River Institute will give a
presentation on how to accomplish these three objectives on July 25th.
DOES THE COUNCIL WANT TO CONTINUE TO CONSIDER A HOTEL ON THE SITE
Staff believes it is critical to come to closure on whether a hotel should be considered on
the project site. At the meeting on the 25th staff will bring the consultant that prepared
the market analysis to review that report. In addition staff from the VVTCB will also be
available to answer questions regarding the assumptions identified in the ERA market
analysis. The purpose of looking at a hotel was to:
- Ensure the greatest degree of success for the learning meeting center
- Add vitality to the community hub
- There are financing mechanisms available to issue public bonds for both a
hotel and the learning/meeting center.
1
- It was originally believed a hotel could pay the Town approximately $6 million
in land costs. This was based on a industry standard of $30,000/room in land
value. However, based on running several pro formas for a project the
safest assumption is that a hotel would not significantly offset the cost of the
public uses.
Pros and Cons for a hotel include:
Pros:
A hotel will be successful on the site according to Economic Research
Associates market analysis.
Projections indicate that 90,000 additional room nights will be generated from
the learning/meeting center and that only 39% of the room nights would be
absorbed by a new hotel; 61 % of the room nights would be absorbed by
existing hotels, i.e. this would be a net gain of 8% for existing hotels.
o A hotel will make the learning/meeting center more successful and
marketable to meeting planners. Meeting planners prefer a booking meetings
that have a major hotel in close proximity that has good value.
o A hotel will add vitality, excitement and critical mass to the site.
A private/public partnership could potentially be developed to finance the
hotel and the learning/meeting center.
o A new hotel with an average daily rate of under $220 would help provide
greater value to guests. Lodging value has been identified as a critical issue
for Vail in national polls.
Based on national polling, and Vail Resorts marketing, a value oriented hotel
would help increase total visitation to Vail.
Cons:
o A hotel will not generate significant revenue for public uses. Dwelling units
and/or fractional fee units will generate approximately $400/square foot net
revenue that could be applied to the public uses.
o Existing hotel business would increase 15.3% with the creation of a learning
/meeting center without a new hotel. This compares to an 8% increase with a
hotel and learning/meeting center.
It has been perceived that a hotel may dilute the public purpose of the
facilities.
a If you don't have large conferences in the winter months, the demand for a
new hotel is greatly diminished. In addition, if existing hotels are willing to
release rooms in the winter and in peak summer months at competitive rates
the need for a new hotel is diminished. Right now our larger hotels want to
retain a percentage of their rooms in the winter and peak summer times for
free and independent travelers which can make meeting planning for large
groups very difficult. We are determining if there is any likelihood that hotels
will change this practice.
Creates additional parking demand.
o Some say this is an inappropriate use of public land.
Another consideration is that the Evergreen Lodge has offered to partner with the Town
on a learning/meeting center. Further discussions are needed to determine how this
partnership could work. However, this could be a significant opportunity to provide
2
affordable beds directly adjacent to the site on private land if the Evergreen did move
forward with a redevelopment plan.
HOW DOES THE COUNCIL WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN ELECTION
The Vail Recreation District has clarified its mission and has determined it will operate
facilities but will not build facilities. Therefore, the Town of Vail will need to finance the
capital costs for all the facilities and/or develop public/private partnerships to develop
those uses. Based on the economic analysis, it may be possible to build the public uses
without public funding (aside from the value of the land which the Town will retain
ownership of). The private sources of funding could include:
Corporate/private sponsorship
o Public/private partnerships
Sale of parking spaces
o Sale of dwelling units or fractional fee units
a Revenue from a hotel (relatively minor contribution compared to dwelling and
fractional fee units)
The total cost of the public uses ranges from $63 million to $150 million. If Dobson is
maintained in its current location the cost is closer to $63 million. Unless the program is
altered significantly, private financing will be needed to build these uses. We could take
the next year to implement a fund raising campaign (after a specific site plan is chosen).
Then, in 2001, determine whether and how to move forward with a public vote. It would
be possible to do a non-binding referendum (at any time in the year) to determine if the
public supported the final concept. If private fund raising fell short, then a binding public
vote would also be possible in November of 2001. By moving the vote to 2001, we
will be able to allow for adequate time to come to a decision on the site plan and
the architecture, refine the concepts and create greater community buy-in, and to
initiate a fund-raising campaign. Staff believes that pursuing a 2000 ballot issue is a
significant risk. The greatest likelihood of success in a ballot will come by providing
adequate time to refine both the concept and design. Right now the schedule is based
on being prepared for a public vote in November of 2000 (see table below). An
alternative schedule for a 2001 election is also provided. Given that one year of fund
raising was anticipated, it would not drastically delay the project to look at a 2001 ballot
issue (if a public vote is necessary).

The most critical question in determining whether to move forward with a 2000 election versus a
2001 election is whether the Town Council can quickly come to consensus on the public and
private uses to be considered. The following is a summary of those uses that have been
considered:
Public uses:
o Learning/Meeting Center
- 20,000 square foot ball room that can be converted into
seating for special events and performances
- 12,000-16,000 square feet for breakout space
- 11,000-15,000 square feet of space for dedicated
meeting/class rooms for learning functions (CIVIC, VVF, WRI,
TOV-Library)
- Technology Room (i.e., an internet/computer room which
could be an extension of the library and also booked for uses
as classroom space
- 250 seat theatre for community theatre, small performances,
and lectures
0 2nd Sheet of Ice
Family Activity Center
Housing (25,000 square feet)
Private Uses:
o Fractional Fee or Dwelling units to generate revenue for the public
uses.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ARCHITECTURAL WORK
The scope of service for EDAW has essentially been completed. The basic purpose of
the contract with EDAW was to develop alternative site plans. The next step from a
design standpoint is to refine the site plan and develop architectural sketch plans. Also
architectural renderings for any of the alternatives will be valuable in gaining support for
a particular concept. Another critical question is whether the Council wants to add an
additional architect to the design team. On May 23rd Council indicated that this was not
necessary. As you recall, staff did provide portfolios on several other design firms.
Specific actions that need to occur after a general site plan is chosen include:
1. Refine the ideas, particularly the learning center using focus groups. This
work has already been initiated.
2. Survey and geotechnical work
3. Additional parking analysis
4. Refining the site plan based on Council direction
5. Developing an architectural sketch plan
6. Additional public meetings to seek public input on the refined site plan
7. Fund raising
The Town Council will need to determine whether to move forward with the next steps in
the design process and whether to authorize a supplemental appropriation to pay for the
next steps. The following is an estimate of the costs for the next steps.
Proposed Budaet
Action Estimated Cost
Refine the Site Plan and develop $75,000 (If an addition is made to the
architectural sketch plans design team then this number could be
increased significantly.
Agreement with the White River Institute to $50,000 from both the Town of Vail and
assist with refining the learning center Other entities (VR) plus $50,000 as a
concept and to assist with fund raising percentage of the funds raised for the
facilities.

Re: White River Institute's Involvement in Li sHead Hub Sitd:.
Dear ~ udwig... : .
The purpose of this letter is to outline a p pos approach on the White
River Institute's (WRI) possible involve ent i the LionsHead Huh~site
project. We have been asked to assist wi deft ' g the concept; developing:
grassroots support and raising money.
The attached chart depicts how two new omen ity organizations nugkit
func on in the development of these face tees. so attached.here is.an
articl recently published in the Nail Dai pro ding an overview of hew all.
the various facilities, ideas and needs mi t int,..,clate.
The basic purpose of the `fail Renaissance Center ~W ~ C) structure would-be -
to build support for the whole complex, including all the educational,
cultural and recreational facilities, through a variety of marketing and: fiind
raising activities. The Town of trail's influence on1 these entities would
come primarily through deed restrictions on the lamed and partici~iatioii aii the:
selection of initial Governors to The Renaissance Foundation Executive;:
Committee.
totally separate 501 c 4, called Citizens for a Community Renaissance,
would be created to conduct political campaign activities for an>election:or
referendum on the plan. The Town would no financial or operational role in
this entity.
We have been working at the urging of Town staff and rdt,avsefitatives°oU-
private interests over the past several months to develop this approach.;:
While considerable discussion and work remains, the following; outline
conveys much of what we've been asked to undertake. _

I. WRI Responsibilities
a. Assume overall leadership of t~e support-building activities and
a fund raising campaign. Dev lop and execute a
comprehensive General Plan & Budge .
b. Take a lead role in helping to refine the progra.,LUAg concepts
of the final facility, including the learr g, cultural and
recreational concepts.
c. Allocate 2/3 of m time for twl ears o lead this effort :
! working closely with the To , The naissance Foundation
Chair and its Executive Co ittee an Board of Goverriors.;
d. Engage other people from W 'T'rust s, to volunteer plarinizig.
teams, to senior affiliates, to tegic artners to interested
local residents to become,acti ely inv lved in development. and
j support-building activities.
11. Financial Commitments
a. 1 requests a $200,000 unrestricted eneral grant from the
Town, phased semi-annually over two years. Funds will bq .
used to expand staff, develop and mar et programs and build`
membership in WRI. In other: words, is grant is to build I .
generally, and because I am compensated on a ~1 per year
basis, none of this money will be use to pay the a:salary. mod, I
none of the Town's support of WRI will work it's way to, th6 p4
b. Given Tabor restrictions, Jwe ask that a Town phase its .
commitment in serni-annual iz cremen starting with $100,40.0
in July for the year 2000. We, und,.Yal d that the 't'own will
generate half of this amount from its awn resources, together
with those of other private interests. a remaining $50,000:f4
2000 will be generated as a percentag of funds`ra.ised by i s
in the early stages of the project. }
c. A similar $100,000 commitment will be made for 2,001,
depending upon the nature and status of the project at that time..
d. Although this requires careful thought, the Institute would`like
an-arrangement, wherein -financial-incdntives-are paid if funds hi
excess of agreed upon targets are realized.
III. Expenses
a. Normal business expenses will be handled through the I o :of
Nail until the The Renaissance Foundation is officially formmd:
As part of the T12F fv, wation, the Tow: n will need to separately .
fiend these start-up costs until such time as an initial Riod
20'd 8T:,£0 006T-12-NUf
raising 1 can be implemented. !An initial (90) day operating
budget ill be prepared shortly.
b. Expens s will include office space, telepho ie, administrative
staffing, rn rketing costs and every other n ..al and obvious
c,,I,ens that will be required to move the p oject forward:.A
full pro ect on on these costs will be budgeted as part ofthe
plan rn nti ned above.
c. Until a m grant arrangement is made, wall bill:tlie. Tow
on an h url basis for my time, th time of ladtninistrav staff:`
and that of y senior affiliates drawn into the 'piu3ect. Sis
early April more than (100) hours of my time and that of otlier%
senior ffil ates has been spen~ on the proje t.
IV. Council Decisions
a. Endorse, th formation of TRF
b. Provide recommendations on the initial Board of Governors : .
and Ex cut ve Committee representatives
c. Fund first ortion of WRI grant
Once the Town Co cil has acted on the above decisio , our next:, steps
would be Ito form a enaissance Foundation and Citizens for'
Community Renais anc and begin the IRS application process. At the
same time , we shou d begin to draw up contracts outl;n+ng these
arrangem nts using o e Roberts & Owen in Denver and the Town
Attorney. If the Co cil is in conceptual agreement, then comprehensive.
work cou d begin i mediately on the General Flan & Budget.
In closing, and on b half of the whole White River Institute team, let iris say
that we are very sup; ortive of this project. We see it not only as something
consistent with our inission, but also work that represents an oPpoftuni* t fqr;
us to contribute to the betterment of our community.

An Unconventional Learning c& ' ultural CrOS iocarls':
I Connecting People & Ide4s
i Ajv 0vERxrEW
The Vail Renaissance Center is a learning, cultural and recreation mplex dedicated..
renewing the human spirit. It's an "unconventional" place cone 'ng to aiid hostu
small meetings and gatherings. Some have called it a conference cc."4'06A in ew clothes;`-.,-.'.-.:,..
;
with learning at the core.
The so-called "learning center" will help enrich our resort community by ore fully
developing a second economic determinant... education or learning. Think of it as a hub
. k.
connecting a campus of facilities throughout the Vail Malley through technology, It's a
convergence of people exploring and discovering our natural world. The complex might
consist of 3 or 4 institutes or "centers" that r,r.,sent focal points of interest. Initially
they could revolve around themes like Mountain Stewardship; Leadership; I1eaith:&.
Wellness,, and perhaps Artistic Studies. These centers would attractlvarious national';.:
strategic partners to help to organize seminars, forums and conferences..
The Mail Renaissane Center would focus on mind-body-spirit activities and serve, as an
inspiration for co ty-wide programming similar to the Life Enhanoem nt Centel at
Canyon Ranch. It's of a spa, but rather a point-of-view about healthy 1 th f w6bla
influence the whole community. Some have said our valley should be ao renewal:ox
"re-creation" right alpng side our fantastic recreation. This is the kernel of thirty-year.
"unconventional positioning strategy" for Mail.
i
The current task at hand is to build enthusiasm and vision for the long-term possibilities
that the Renaissance iCenter might bring. These thoughts are only a be ' ' g. We must
actively explore a wide variety of partnerships and bring people together in onstructive
dialogue to develop this concept. We need courage and leadership. We nee 4o look:
boldly at a direction at will really accelerate Vail's renaissance. Ifwe:exp ore this'
thinking, and it mak sense, the support and resources will be there. Becat3 ;e money
follows passion.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
RE: July 2000 Millennium Evaluation
FR: R. Thomas Moorhead
DT: July 20, 2000
For the purpose of your evaluation, I am listing the goals that I believe have been
achieved over the past year and identification of goals to be achieved in the coming
year. It is my intention that these achievements and future goals correspond to
Council's objectives.
GOALS ACHIEVED IN LAST CALENDAR YEAR:
1. Settlement/Resolution of Pendina or Threatened Litiaation.
1. Common Ground Litiaation
All three lawsuits were dismissed by stipulation. The Vail Town Council
passed a resolution repealing the previously passed Resolution 10, Series
1998, to consider Town of Vail owned property as potential sites for
affordable or employee housing. All parties were responsible for their own
costs including attorney fees and the Town suffered no damages as a
result of the dismissals.
II. Pendina Litiaation
1. Charles R. Liacon:
-Mr-.-L~pc-on-is-the--owner-of-a--residential--condofniniu-m-unit- at Vail Gateway
Plaza, Vail, Colorado. The Town of Vail has been involved in a review
process for a major amendment to Special Development District No. 6
which includes the Vail Village Inn, a hotel adjacent to Vail Gateway
Plaza. Mr. Lipcon as adjacent property owner has opposed the
development, which is known as the Vail Plaza Hotel. As a result of his
opposition he has filed three lawsuits described herein.
RECYCLED PAPER
A. Charles R. Ligcon: Irmaard Ligcon: Vail Sundial L.P.: and John Brevo v.
Town of Vail a municipal corporation: Town Council of the Town of Vail:
and Davmer Corporation N.V.. A Netherland corporation.. Eagle County
District Court, Case No. OOCV67.
This legal Action was filed in the Eagle County District Court. The
complaint objects to the amendment to the Special Development District
which is known as the Vail Village Inn. The complaint in its First Claim
requests a judgment declaring the ordinance amending the Special
Development District invalid and void as a denial of due process and
equal protection of the law and for lack of jurisdiction of the Town Council;
and abuse of discretion by the Town Council; that the Town Council action
is invalid and void as contract zoning, and finally, a conflict of interest was
possessed by members of the Town Council and the Plaintiff was
therefore denied an unfair and unbiased forum. The Second Claim is
pursuant to Rule 106 that the Town Council by its actions exceeded its
jurisdiction or abused its discretion. The Third Claim requests that the
Defendants be restrained and enjoined from implementing the approved
amendment to the Special Development District as it will cause immediate
and irreparable injury loss or damage to Plaintiff. -
B. Charles R. Ligcon vs. Town of Vail a municipal corporation: Grea Moffett
(SIC): TIGA Advertisina Inr:. and TIGA Vail LLC. Eagle County District
Court Case No. OOCV67.
This complaint was filed in the Eagle County District Court and served
upon the Town of Vail on April 3, 2000. The complaint filed pursuant to
Rule 57, C.R.C.P. is for declaratory judgment that the contract presently
held with the Town of Vail and TIGA Advertising and/or TIGA Vail be
declared void. The individual named in the complaint is a Council
member, Greg Moffet, who as the president of TIGA Advertising Inc. was
doing business with the Town of Vail providing commercial advertising on
the Town of Vail buses. The complaint by Mr. Lipcon claims that this
contract is in violation of Section 3.7, Town Charter of the Town of Vail,
Financial Interest Prohibited. This provision precluded a member of
Council during his term of office, being a salaried employee of the Town or
having a direct or indirect financial interest in any contract with the Town.
Based upon Mr. Lipcon raising this issue with the Vail Town council, the
Town..C.ouncil-considered.the_conduct.of_Mr.... Moffet.and the contract
presently held by TIGA Vail LLC and found that Mr. Moffet did transfer his
interest from TIGA Advertising Inc. (a corporation of which he his
president) to TIGA Vail LLC, a corporation solely owned by Mr. Moffet's
brother, Tim Moffet. The transfer of interest prior to Mr. Moffet's taking
office provided that he does not have, nor has he had since taking office,
any direct or indirect financial interest in any contract with the Town.
2
Additionally the Council found that the contract is a minor incidental
transaction and therefore is not prohibited by Section 3.7.
The Town of Vail has filed an answer and a motion to dismiss this
complaint by and through the Town Attorney. It is unlikely that this
complaint will have any financial impact upon the Town of Vail.
C. Charles R. Lincon vs. Town of Vail. a Municipal Corporation: Town
Council of the Town of Vail: and Davmer Corporation N.V. A Netherland
Antilles Corporation. United States District Court Civil Action No. 00-D-
779.
This third lawsuit has been filed in the United State District Court, District
of Colorado based upon Council's consideration of the amendment to the
Special Development District described above. This complaint, brought as
a class action on behalf of all similarly situated property owners adjacent
to the Vail Village Inn, alleges in Count One a violation of the 5th and 14th
Amendments to the United States Constitution by denying the Plaintiff due
process and equal protection of the law in order to pass the Vail Plaza
Hotel proposal. Count Two claims the Defendants willfully conspired to
damage the Plaintiff and, as a result, violated the Plaintiffs rights to due
process and equal protection of the law in order to pass the Vail Plaza
Hotel proposal. Count Three is a claim for injunctive relief asking the
Court to enjoin the amendment to the Special Development district as
such amendment will cause irreparable injury to the Plaintiff. The
complaint sets fort Count Six as a Class Action. The complaint which has
been provided to the Town of Vail does not contain a Count Four or Five.
The Town of Vail has waved service of process and accepted the
complaint but has not yet answered or otherwise pled in regard to the
complaint. This complaint will be provided to the Town of Vail insurance
carrier and the Town will be requesting a defense of this claim. The
Town's position is that its legal case is strong and it will vigorously contest
compensatory damages in excess of two million dollars and punitive
damages in excess of four million dollars.
The Town's insurance carrier, ITT Hartford, is providing a defense to this
matter since it demands monetary damages. Scott Lasater will be
representing the Town as the attorney of record with support of the Town
Attorney.
2. Potato Patch Club and Carnie Litiaation.
Two causes of action have been filed in the Eagle County District Court
objecting to Design Review Board approval for an application to develop
residential units on property owned by John A. Carnie which property is
adjacent to the Potato Patch Club condominium. The complaints that have
3
been filed have been brought by two owners of units in the Potato Patch
Club.
This case is close to being settled.
A. Dome Investment Grout). a aeneral partnership. Georae Ireland and
Elizabeth Ireland-vs. Town of Vail. a Municipal Corporation. Town Council
of the Town of Vail. Desian Review Board of the Town of Vail. Colorado.
John A. Carnie. Joan T. Carnie and Michael Lauterbach..Eagle County
District Court, Action No. 2000 CV03.
This complaint is brought pursuant to Rule 106 requesting a court review
of the Town of Vail process which approved the development on the
Carnie property. The application was filed by and the project will be
constructed by Michael Lauterbach. The complaint also requests
declaratory judgment and injunctive relief declaring the actions of the
Design Review Board and the decision of the Town of Vail upholding that
approval void and enjoining in the action pursuant to the approvals
granted. The Town Attorney has filed an answer on behalf of the Town of
Vail and will be defending the Town's interest in this matter. It is believed
this application was appropriately filed and considered pursuant to the
Town of Vail zoning regulations and there is no likelihood of any monetary
damages being ordered in this case.
B. Dome Investment Grout). a aeneral Dartnershit). Georae Ireland and
Elizabeth Ireland vs. Town of Vail. a Municipal Corporation. Town Council
of the Town of Vail. Colorado. Desian Review Board of the Town of Vail,
Colorado. and Potato Patch Club Condominium Association. Eagle
County District Court, Action No. OOCV70.
This complaint alleges that the Design Review Board and the Vail Town
Council exceeded its authority by considering the application on behalf of
Potato Patch Club. The Club provides access by way of an easement to
the Carnie property which has been approved for residential development.
This complaint is brought by two of the individual property owners and
challenges the authority of the Potato Patch Club to grant the easement or
file the application which has been approved in this matter. It also
requests that all parties be enjoined from taking any action pursuant to the
approval which has been granted. The Town of Vail is represented by the
...Town Attorney.._.There..is. no._likelihood_of...any_monetary.damages being
ordered in this case.

Manhattan Mortaaae Corporation. a New Jersev corporation: and Karen
Shaeffer. in her capacity as Public Trustee for Eaale Countv. Colorado.
Eagle County District Court, Civil Action No. OOCV33.
This action has been brought to foreclose on a mechanics lien on a
residential development known as Red Sandstone Creek. The owners of
the development were the Town of Vail and Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District. This eighteen-unit residential condominium project was
built on ground owned by the Town of Vail and the Water District. The
general contractor was the Stevens Group. Upon completion the units
were conveyed to the individual owners.
The facts that give rise to this cause of action are that Aspen Earth Moving
was contracted by the Stevens Group to place the water line on the
project. After the waterline was in place but prior to paving the parking lot
it was determined that the water main was placed improperly and had to
be moved. The Stevens Group engaged Frontier Paving and Timberline
West to move the pipe. They performed the services requested of them
but have not been paid for that work. The total bills outstanding are
approximately two hundred and forty thousand dollars. In addition to the
Steven Group who has been named in the complaint, the Town of Vail and
all residential owners are included. The Town of Vail and the Water
District have joined in a motion to dismiss the residential owners pursuant
to protection offered to residential purchasers in the Colorado Revised
Statutes. The financial exposure to the Town of Vail would be one third of
the outstanding bills of two hundred and forty thousand dollars plus
interest. The Town of Vail will be represented by the Town Attorney in this
matter.
A settlement of this lawsuit is pending. The Town will be contributing
$8,333 in cash and a $5,000 loan to help accomplish the resolution.
4. Steven L. Waterhouse: Linda L. Waterhouse: v. Town of Vail. a municipal
corporation: and Garv Goodell. as Buildina Official of the Town of Vail.
Eagle County District Court, Case No. OOCV212 Division L.
This action was brought against the Town of Vail in relation to the
Waterhouse garage encroachment onto Forest Road. The complaint
5
requested that a mandatory injunction issue in which the court order the
Town of Vail and the Chief Building Official to issue a Final Certificate of
Occupancy for the garage. The matter was scheduled for a motion on this
injunctive relief requested on June 19, 2000. The Town of Vail answered
the complaint and also filed Counter Claims for trespass and a mandatory
injunction ordering that the encroaching garage be altered so as to
conform with the approved plans. On June 19, 2000 it was agreed that
the Waterhouses could continue any final work on the garage at their own
risk and the matter was scheduled for trial on the Town of Vail Counter
Claims on July 18th. The matter proceed to trial on July 18, all witnesses
testified, the parties made closing arguments and were directed to file
findings of fact and conclusions of law by July 29, 2000. At that time the
court will issue it's ruling. The court did bifurcate the issues of liability and
damages. If it is found that the Waterhouses are liable for trespass and
the Town of Vail is entitled to receive damages, those damages will be
decided in a subsequent separate proceeding. The Town has been
represented by the Town Attorney in this matter.
5. Villaae Center Association v. Town of Vail: the Town Council of the Town
of Vail: Diana Donovan: Chuck Oailbv: Kevin Folev: Rodnev Slifer: Grea
Moffet: Svbill Navas: and Ludwia Kurz.
This action as been bought pursuant to Rule 106 (a)(4), C.R.C.P.
requesting that the court review the approval process and decisions made
by the Vail Town Council in regard to the Water Park. Service was
accepted on July 19, 2000 requiring that an answer or a responsive
pleading be filed by August 8, 2000. The complaint alleges that the

Re: Appeal by Dome and Ireland of Design Review Board Decision Relating To
Application of Lauterbach and Carnie for Lot #4, Potato Patch Creek
Members of the Council:
This Firm represents Dome Investment Group and Mr. and Mrs. George Ireland,
the appellants in the above matter, which is scheduled for hearing before the Town
Council on the 25th of July. This matter was continued to that date at our request and
with the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Carnie, the owners of the subject property.
The property which was the subject of the application now on appeal has not
been under contract to Mr. Lauterbach, the proponent of the project, since
approximately the first of the year. The property is now under contract to an entity
comprised of a group of owners of Potato Patch Club condominiums, as a result of
which the application currently on appeal has become academic, at best. Based upon
these developments, we see no reason to take up the Council's time with the appeal
of this matter. We thank the Council for the extension of time previously granted in
order that we might confirm that the proceeding could be resolved in this manner.
By this letter, and for the reasons stated above, Dome Investment Group and Mr.
and Mrs. Ireland withdraw their appeal from the Design Review Board decision
referred to above.

Costs for events cannot increase due to either diminished usage to smaller capacity. With a
capacity of 2,500 we are still pushing the limits of costs due to the high priced market which Dobson
is a part of (lodging, labor costs, etc). When Dobson expands with a loading facility, green room,
etc., costs for 2,500 event capacities will go up by 3% - 5% over current rental rates.

Subject Donovan Lower Park
Efforts to conceal erection of illegal structures on DLP'by holding closed
door council/vrd sessions can only lead to more legal action..
Parking at Ford is a disaster. Tennis players fi unA the "resort" are surcharged
a parking fee on top of the court fee. This will certainly drive away tourists.
Tennis is. a dying sport-I know, I play. 8 courts are no longer needed at
Ford. Parking is needed desperately.
Solution-relocate 5 clay courts to DLP along with soccer field and limited
parking. for players. Convert present upper courts (b) to parking for Ford.
Convert 2 lower courts: to small ice rink. Let vrd continue to use the huge
educe but place constraints on cleanlmi ess (it is filthy) and use of parking
spaces (they have usurped the public/paying guests spaces).
Also Lionshead-clean and refacade the entire area before more development
begins. Paid for by C MA charge for beneficiaries. Do not give in to Black
Leon's concept of urban sprawl in Vail.
Also-employee housing. Do density study of present employee housing, ie.
Where do employees live now?Tiave Appollo construct employee housing
at Bell Mountain, Cascade and maybe Berry and buy Timber Ridge. Black
Leon has decreed that he will support Breck emp housing-Why not Vail?

My con"A are directed to you as the one person not under the control.

"Rotary Child Health Task Force"
June 27, 2000
Notes on the Children's Opponwnlty Grant from Rotary International
This grant has been made directly from Rotary International, the Children's Opportunity
grant program, grant No. 1443.
The amount bfthe grant is $25,000 A
The money is being carried as a restricted account on the books of the Vail/Eagle Valley :Etotary
Club, Treasurer Klaus Kunter
Term of grant May 15, 2000 to May 15, 2001
Launch date for project: Wednesday, July 19`x, at the Vail/Eagle Valley Rotary Club
First health s,,.r.;,..ing: Dotsero, Saturday, July 29th
Community Participation
Many agencies have participated extensively in the design of this project, including:
Eagle County Health and Human Services
Eagle Care Clinic of Vail Valley Medical Center
Eagle County School District Head Start
Eagle County School District Child Find
Catholic Charities
Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Division
Colorado West Mental Health Center
The Literacy Project
The Rotary Club of Vail/Eagle Valley
Screenings
Within the $25,000 overall budget, $5,000 is budgeted for health screenings to reach
disadvantaged children.
It is estimated by the Public Health Service that three in five Eagle County children are without
health insurance. Many agencies, including all of the agencies on the Task Force, provide
outreach programs with care provided to uninsured clients on a sliding scale of financial ability,
but limited ability is available to refer to health care professionals for more extensive diagnosis,
treatment or follow-up. Acute illness is judged to be a special problem, as well as health
education. It is hoped that the s..."..ings taking place will greatly extend the `reach" of existing
eftbrts, many already well established.

An overall aim of the present eL,m, t is to reach 400 children who have no other access to health
care. For the health screenings, the age group 0-5 years is being targeted, since this cohort is
often not reached by pre-school (Note: At present, only two public health nurses
cover all of the schools in the valley. Also note that the immunization pro&,,„..s offered by
Public Health and other agencies are judged to have been very successful in our valley, now
estimating 87% coverage for immunizations.)
Screenings so far have been scheduled as follows:
Dotsero Saturday, July 17'b (note no public building available)
Eagle Saturday, September 160' (with the Back-to-School Health Fair)
Avon No date set
Edwards No date set
Initial screenings will be utilizing the "Denver II" devel..x...emtal sc,;.::,, as well as visual
screenings and technically sophisticated screening for early hearing problems. The "Denver IV
exam requires about 45 minutes per child by a trained examiner, requiring a table and three
chairs. We anticipate needing six Denver 11 examiners, all bilingual) These volunteers are
currently being trained by Sharon Thompson of Child Find.) The visual screening takes
4t,t„.,ximately five minutes per child. The auditory screening, which must take place in a noise-
free environment, takes an estimated five minutes.
Rotary co-chairs Carolyn Cage and Carol Hymers have relied upon the extensive experience of
the various existing agencies to determine priority needs for locations of screenings and structure
of the voucher program. This is truly a partnership project!
The Child Health Task Force is relying on the resources of the Rotary Club to implement the four
scheduled screenings. Rotary has extensive know-how in conducting public events, and much
help is needed. We expect that after the first screening in Dotsero (by far the most difficult
site), the task will become progressively easier, and members who have participated in one
s.,E.;;,,Ang can bring their experience to the next screening.
Youcher program
The remainder, $20,000, is being utilized to implement a voucher system whereby children are
provided access to medical care unavailable through other programs. The voucher system
"Rotary Child Health Card" is intended to be a "payer of last resort" for medical care. It does not
include hospitalization expenses or surgical expenses. Five health-professional "gatekeepers"
will be implementing the vouchers and referring clients. Vouchers are numbered and a database
has been established for accountability purposes, while preserving confidentiality for clients. We
have much to learn fiwA. this program! Voucher issuance is not limited to the 0-5 age group, but
is not intended not to be used after age 18.
Within the voucher pro&a,,. a "special needs" committee of health professionals has been
set up to consider cases where extensive treatment or follow-up is needed, in order for
r.
3
there to be a determination how resources may be applied. This committee will meet on
an as-needed basis.
The Task Force anticipates needing the help of Rotary volunteers in maintaining the database,
interim reports and publicity to Rotary International and the local community, as well as
assistance in follow-up grant requests.
Each Task Force member, for the s..-,"rings and for work with the voucher program, wi;I1 be
required to sign a pledge of confidentiality with regard to client and/or patient information before
taking part in the screenings Each client of the program must sign a consent form permitting the
limited distribution of personal information.
For further questions or information, please call Rotary Task Force co-chairs! Carol Hymens (476-
6033) or Carolyn Cage (949-9766.)
