If the charter remains as is, future councils could conceivably defer to special interests by changing laws to the detriment of the community. A revision, like this one proposed, has never been considered. The authors of the charter trusted the Vail Council to do what was best for the community. Recently that trust has been questioned by citizens who believe conflicts of interest make for biased decisions. Influences by moneyed factions are noticeable and not condoned. There is a trend toward passing resolutions, instead of ordinances, in order to skirt the call up rules the charter allows for ordinances. Even though a call up rule exists, for ordinances only, the measure has been used only once. If the proposed amendment is approved, it will not result in every council action being frivolously questioned. Its not easy, or cheap, to get an initiative on the ballot. The amendment will require the signatures of 10% of the electorate to get an issue on the ballot. Finally the vote itself is risky. Better for the citizens to participate in decisions than agonizing through lawsuits and allowing a judge to decide for us. The amendment does not take away any right from any individual, nor does it single out any individual, group or organization. It ensures that the Council continues to act responsibly, sensitive to the needs of the entire community while giving citizens the right to overrule the council if the situation calls for it. The Anti-Charter Change people would like you to believe that Vail voters should not have the ability to question any major decision by Town Council. Traditionally, Vail Councils always made major decisions by ordinance. When the Vail Commons issue came up, their slick attorney decided to change decision-making by ordinance to "administrative decision". The result was an unpopular decision to build Vail Commons and, by changing the word "ordinance" to "administrative decision", that very slick Town Council wanted to force expensive litigation by requiring a judge to determine whether to "allow" voters to have control over their government by calling a voter referendum. Since the original referendum language, residents have only called two voter referendums questioning council decisions. It hasn't been abused by the voters. The new language proposed makes it more difficult for voters to call for a referendum, taking the opposition's thunder alleging voter referendums could easily be abused if this new proposal passes. Do not allow the Anti-Charter Change people to deceive you into thinking this vote is about whether it's a good idea for voters to be able to overturn council decisions. Vote for the proposed Charter Change and save tax dollars in litigation fees, because the Town will have to waste those dollars eventually defending against the earlier charter change and their subsequent maneuvering. 6 The following is a Summary of Statements In Opposition of the Charter Amendment: It is particularly sad that in a time of national crisis the voters of Vail should have to deal with this Charter amendment. This is a time when we should have a shared vision. We should work together to achieve our goals, especially in what will be an uncertain future. 1 oppose this proposed Charter amendment. It will absolutely paralyze TOV government. It is difficult now and would be impossible if this amendment passes. Five people have more power than seven duly elected council members. These five can stop any issue 77 days while getting signatures. The initiative is too broad. There is no provision for natural disasters or emergencies. In times of crisis, actions could be stopped. There is no cost to those petitioning. The total financial burden falls on the town to hold elections. Who knows what the cost would be. The Charter provides four council seats up for election every two years, which is a majority. A better solution is for the five proponents to run for the four council seats available in November. Town Council members are elected to make decisions. They should have that authority - it's the democratic process. Arguments opposing the amendment to the Town Charter: Our biggest successes were all controversial at the time they were approved, including Ford Park, the roundabouts, Dobson Ice Arena. None of these projects would have happened if this initiative had been in place at the time those projects took place. This initiative could end up costing taxpayers as much as $48,000 a year to hold elections - money that could be better used for parking or affordable housing efforts. This initiative would cause government gridlock. Every single town council decision would be in question for as long as 77 days, and no one could rely upon the finality of council decisions. Any five people could stop any project for 77 days by initiating the process of calling any council decision to a public vote. And as few as 240 people could sign the petition to hold up projects and approvals indefinitely. This initiative would paralyze local government, preventing the town council from making the necessary day to day decisions as well as preventing any long range planning efforts. Voters already have the ability to bring up their own legislation through the initiative process if they disagree with major decisions by the town council. If voters don't agree with town council's decisions or don't think council members are doing a good job, then they should vote them out of office. Every two years, a majority of the town council is up for election. There are better and less expensive options than this one. This initiative makes NO provisions for natural disasters or emergencies. In times of crisis, government must have the ability to act swiftly and decisively. 7 Those persons who are citizens of the United States, eighteen (18) years of age or older, who have been residents of the State of Colorado for thirty (30) days preceding the election and residents of the Town of Vail, Colorado for thirty (30) days preceding the election, and who have been duly registered with the Town of Vail, shall be entitled to vote at said election. Those registered qualified electors who are otherwise fully qualified to vote on said ballot issues at said election, but who shall be absent from the Town of Vail on the day of said election, or who shall be unable to attend the polls, may apply in writing at the office of the Town Clerk of Vail, Colorado, for absent voter ballots at any time during regular business hours on or before 5:00 p.m., Friday, November 2, 2001. There will be one election precinct for said Regular Municipal Election, the boundaries of which shall be the same as those of the Town and the polling place for which shall be the Vail Municipal Building, Vail, Colorado. The absent voter and walk-in absent voter polling place shall also be the Vail Municipal Building, 75 South Frontage Road, Vail, Colorado 81657, telephone # 970-479-2136. The votes cast shall be counted on electronic (optical scan) equipment and said election shall be held and conducted, the returns thereof canvassed, and the results thereof declared, in the manner prescribed by law for all such regular municipal elections in the Town. Vail voters will use two election formats to cast their ballots on November 6, 2001. One is an at-the-polls process to elect four members to the Vail Town Council and a charter amendment question; as well as a mail-in ballot issued by Eagle County for participation in the state and county questions, plus special districts. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Town Council has caused this notice to be given.

McNeish gmcneish ct grimshawharring.com 303-839-3820 www.grimshawharring.com October 2, 2001 VIA HAND DELIVERY Town Council Town of Vail, Colorado Re: Village Center Association v. Town of Vail. et al.,; Case No. 00-CV-322 Dear Council Members: As you may be aware, our firm represents the Village Center Association with respect to the referenced case, which involves the Association's challenge to the approval of the Town of Vail's application for construction of the whitewater park in Gore Creek. We have represented the Village Center Association at every stage in the proceedings with respect to the Town's application, including the appeal to the Town Council of the Planning and Environmental Commission's approval of the application, and the appeal to the District Court of the Council's decision to uphold the PEC's decision. The District Court, as you know, has required the Council to make and file findings of fact and conclusions of law so as to allow the Court to appropriately consider the arguments we have raised in the appeal. It has come to our attention that at the evening meeting to be held on October 2, 2001, the Council will take under consideration the adoption of the proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law as required by the Court. We have reviewed the Memorandum containing the Planning staff s recommended findings and conclusions on the various issues raised in the Court's order. This letter is to inform you that the Village Center Association maintains its position with respect to all such issues, and adamantly maintains for the reasons previously asserted both to the Council and to the District Court, that the Council does not have sufficient basis to uphold the PEC's approval of the Town's application for the whitewater park. We would further stress to the Council that in its consideration of the adoption of proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is not permissible to accept and/or consider any evidence (whether by testimony or documents) that was not made part of the Record previously before the Council. In this regard, it should be noted that the District Court did not remand to the Council to conduct further hearings or take additional evidence so as to make a new or supplemented Record, but rather only remanded for the purpose of adopting findings and conclusions based on the previously established Record. M 4 Vail Town Council October 2, 2001 Page 2 Thank you for your consideration of this position. Very truly yours„ GRIMSHAW & HARKING, A Professional Corporation Gilbert F.

Appellant: Village Center Condominium Association, represented by Grimshaw & Harring, P.C. Planner: Brent Wilson 1. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST In September of 2001, the District Court entered an Order of Remand to the Town Council of the Town of Vail for Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. The Court held that the findings in the matter are inadequate for a proper review. Pursuant to the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure, the matter has been remanded to the Vail Town Council for the making of specific findings of fact or conclusions of law. The matters to be specifically addressed include: 1. Whether the subject improvements are prohibited by Section 12-21-10(A), Vail Town Code. 2. The applicable zoning district and permitted uses within that district. 3. Whether the subject improvements are prohibited by the applicable zoning district. 4. The applicability of Section 12-14-17, Vail Town Code, as to setbacks and any prohibition against rechanneling or changing a natural creek or stream channel. 5. Whether the environmental impact report complied with the-Vail Town Code. 6. Whether the environmental impact report demonstrated that the work will not (1) adversely affect adjacent properties; or (2) increase the quantity or velocity of flood waters pursuant to Section 12-21-10(E), Vail Town Code. i 7. Whether the subject improvements are prohibited by the Vail Village Master Plan. 8. Whether the subject improvements are prohibited by the protective covenants. Staff's response to each of these issues is contained in Section I I I of this memorandum. II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Department of Community Development recommends that the Vail Town Council make the following findings of fact and conclusions of law: Based upon substantial competent evidence contained within the record and presented at the public hearings, the Town Council finds that the standards and conditions imposed by the requirements of the Zoning Regulations and all other elements of the Vail Town Code have been met. The Vail Town Council specifically finds that: 1. The subject improvements do not constitute "structures" and are, therefore, not prohibited under Section 12-21-10(A), Vail Town Code. 2. The subject property is zoned "Outdoor Recreation" and that permitted uses within this district include "passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces." 3. The subject improvements are in no way prohibited by the applicable zoning district. 4. The subject improvements do not constitute "structures" and are, therefore, not restricted under the setback requirements outlined in Section 12-14-17, Vail Town Code. Additionally, Title 14 of the Vail Town Code specifically exempts landscaping from setback requirements. Therefore, the subject improvements comply with all setback provisions outlined in the Vail Town Code. 5. Gore Creek has not been rechanneled. Pursuant to the requirements outlined in Title 14, Vail Town Code, the Planning and Environmental Commission has reviewed the applicant's floodplain study and approved the request for grading within the 100-year floodplain. 6. The environmental impact report complies with all provisions outlined in the Vail Town Code. 7. The environmental impact report, flood study, and Engineering staff testimony demonstrate that the work will not adversely affect adjacent properties or increase the quantity or velocity of flood waters pursuant to Section 12-21-10(E), Vail Town Code. 2 8. The subject improvements are in no way prohibited by the Vail Village Master Plan. 9. All appropriate boards and committees have reviewed the proposal as required under the covenant provisions on the property. Therefore, the subject improvements are in no way prohibited by protective covenants. Staff's recommendation is based on the criteria outlined in Sections IV and V of this memorandum. III. STAFF RESPONSE TO THE PETITIONER'S ISSUES 1. Whether the subiect improvements are prohibited by Section 12-21-10(A), Vail Town Code. Section 12-21-10(A), Vail Town Code, states "no structure shall be built in any flood hazard zone." Pursuant to the Vail Town Code, the subject improvements (boulders and' plant materials) constitute "landscaping," not "structures." The Vail Town Code defines landscaping as "planted areas and plant materials, including trees, shrubs, lawns, flower beds and ground cover... natural or significant rock outcroppings, trees or native vegetation." Under the Petitioner's assumption, all areas of Gore Creek containing boulders and plant materials are in violation of this code section. Staff can not concur with this interpretation. Clearly, the intent of this regulation is to protect buildings and their inhabitants from flood hazards and to maintain the integrity of the flood plain, not to prohibit beneficial public use of the creek as permitted under the provisions of the Vail Town Code. The Petitioner also argues that the phrase "drop structures" referenced on the original project plans supports an argument that these boulder features are "structures." The term "drop structure" is an arbitrary industry phrase used throughout the nation and bears absolutely no relevance to any definitions within the Vail Town Code. 2. The applicable zonina district and permitted uses within that district. The subject property is zoned "Outdoor Recreation." This zoning designation was imposed on the property on November 7, 1995 upon second reading of Ordinance No. 19, Series of 1995. Relevant excerpts from the Town of Vail's Official Zoning Map have been attached for reference (Exhibit A). The Outdoor Recreation District is intended to preserve undeveloped or open space lands from intensive development while permitting outdoor 3 recreational activities that provide opportunities for active and passive recreation areas, facilities and uses. Permitted uses in this district include: Bicycle paths and pedestrian walkways. Interpretive nature walks. Nature preserves. Passive outdoor recreation areas and open spaces. Conditional uses include: Accessory buildings Cemeteries. Equestrian trails, used only to access National forest system lands. Public parks and active public outdoor recreation areas and uses, excluding buildings. Ski lifts, tows and runs. Well water treatment facilities Section 12-2-2, Vail Town Code, provides the following definitions: PASSIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION: Outdoor recreation activities which involve unstructured recreation which does not require facilities or special grounds. Passive outdoor recreation would include: picnicking, fishing, walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, informal playing fields, etc. ACTIVE OUTDOOR RECREATION: Outdoor recreational activities which involve organized or structured recreation that is associated with recreational facilities, excluding buildings. For example, active outdoor recreation would include, but not be limited to: athletic fields, playgrounds, outdoor basketball and tennis courts, outdoor swimming pools, sledding and skiing areas, fitness trails with exercise stations, etc. Staff believes (with the exception of special events) the primary activities associated with the subject improvements (boating and fishing) are unstructured, unsupervised activities that are consistent with the Town's definition of "passive outdoor recreation." Any special events on the property are handled in accordance with the Town's adopted special event policies. The Petitioner argued previously that if the area is zoned for outdoor recreation the Town acted improperly because the Town failed to obtain a conditional use permit. However, no conditional use permit is required because the site, zoned for outdoor recreation, is being utilized for passive outdoor recreation activity. Although whitewater boating, like fishing, may be enhanced by improvements to a streambed, the sport does not require any particular structure, facilities or grounds. Thus, the site's use falls within the definition of passive outdoor recreation. 4 Active outdoor recreation consists of organized or structured recreation (teams, coaches, etc.) and utilizes special facilities. For example, under the Vail Town Code, formal athletic fields are active outdoor recreation areas but informal playing fields are not. At a formal athletic field, recreational facilities are present (e.g., goal posts, backboards, bleachers, etc.). At an informal playing field, no recreational facilities are present, but the use is benefited by landscaping, such as lawn maintenance, the removal of rocks and boulders and careful tree placement. The Petitioner argues that whitewater boating is most like "sledding and skiing areas," which are defined as active outdoor recreation. Whitewater boating, however, is not like a "sledding and skiing area" which would utilize a ski lift, snow-cat grooming, warning and directional signs, snow- making equipment, poles and ropes, and/or other facilities. Whitewater boating is more similar to cross-country skiing, a type of skiing that does not utilize ski lifts, and is included in the definition for "passive outdoor recreation." This distinction regarding the presence of recreational facilities means that whitewater boating is a passive outdoor recreation activity. The proposed improvements only relate to landscaping, rather than the addition of recreational facilities in the stream tract. The fact that the site has been used in the past for whitewater boating and has hosted the yearly Jeep Whitewater Festival without any specific amenities further demonstrates that the activity is passive outdoor recreation. Thus, no conditional use permit is required and the subject improvements are in conformance with all applicable zoning regulations. 3. Whether the subiect imorovements are prohibited by the applicable zoning district. As demonstrated above, the subject improvements are clearly not prohibited by the applicable zoning district regulations. 4. The aoolicability of Section 12-14-17. Vail Town Code. as to setbacks and anv prohibition aaainst rechannelina or chanaina a natural creek or stream channel. The relevant code section reads as follows: 12-14-17. SETBACK FROM WATERCOURSE. Minimum setback from a creek or stream shall be not less than thirty feet (30) from the center of the established creek or stream channel as defined by the Town Comprehensive Plan Base Maps; provided, however, that the setback from Gore Creek shall be fifty feet (50). Natural creek or stream channels may not be rechanneled or changed. 5 The Town of Vail's definition of setback reads: SETBACK. The distance from a lot or site line, creek or stream measured horizontally to a line or location within the lot or site which establishes the permitted location of uses, structures, or buildings on the site. As mentioned previously, the subject improvements are not "structures" and are therefore not bound by the setback limitations imposed under Section 12-14-17, Vail Town Code. Additionally, Title 14, Vail Town Code, contains language relevant to this topic: Setbacks Observed: All accessory uses and structures except fences, hedges, walls and landscaping, or ground level site development such as walks, driveways, and terraces shall be located within the required minimum setback lines on each site. This language specifically exempts landscaping from setback requirements. Staff believes it has been sufficiently demonstrated that Section 12-14-17, Vail Town Code is not relevant to the subject improvements. Additionally, the creek channel has not been relocated or rechanneled. Title 14, Vail Town Code clearly allows for grading within floodplain areas and creek channels. 5. Whether the environmental impact report comDlied with the Vail Town Code. Section 12-12-4, Vail Town Code reads as follows: 12-12-4: STUDIES AND DATA REQUIRED: A. Range Of Studies: The environmental impact report shall be based on systematic studies conducted by the Town staff or by professional consultants, as determined by the Administrator. Additionally, Section 12-12-5, Vail Town Code reads as follows: 12-12-5: REPORT CONTENTS: A. Information And Analysis: The environmental impact report shall contain information and analysis, in sufficient detail and adequately supported by technical studies, to enable the Town Council to judge the environmental impact of the project and to judge measures proposed to reduce or negate any harmful impacts. The Vail Town Council, Town of Vail Planning and Environmental (PEC) Commission and Department of Community Development determined there was adequate information provided in the review of the proposal to judge the environmental impact of the project and to judge measures to reduce or negate any harmful impacts. The report to the Town Council and PEC included statements from a professor of fishery biology, approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act and wetlands regulations), a report from a 6 qualified engineering hydrologist on potential flood impacts, and input from the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Clearly, the PEC and Town Council decisions in this regard are supported by competent evidence in the record. One example of a measure taken to reduce or negate harmful impacts is the removal of grouted concrete from the proposal in an effort to enhance invertebrate habitat between the boulders within the creek. The Administrator, under the authority granted in Section 12-12-4, Vail Town Code, requested only those studies deemed relevant to the subject proposal. The Petitioner has never provided any evidence or expert testimony refuting any of the studies provided by the Town during the review process for this proposal. 6. Whether the environmental impact report demonstrated that the work will not (1) adversely affect adiacent properties: or (2) increase the auantitv or velocity of flood waters pursuant to Section 12-21-100. Vail Town Code. The floodplain report and statements from the Town's Engineering Department have confirmed that the work will not adversely affect adjacent properties. Although J.F. Sato's report indicates base flood elevations may increase by approximately 8-9 inches, the consultant states "these changes in water surface elevations are generally localized to the project location." After cross-review by the town's engineering staff, it has been confirmed that the limited increase in base flood elevations are contained entirely within the Town's stream tract and that these new elevations will not negatively impact adjacent properties. Proposed flood plain limits will be approximately 6 feet south of the Village Center property line and approximately 60 feet north of the private property boundaries along Gore Creek Promenade. Engineering staff will be available to address this issue at the Town Council hearing. 7. Whether the subiect improvements are prohibited by the Vail Villaae Master Plan. The Vail Village Master Plan identifies the subject property as a "Village Pocket Park" with a need to provide access and recreational opportunities to the pubic at this location (Study Area 1-12, Exhibit B). Clearly the subject improvements are consistent with this designation. Staff has been unable to find any policies or objectives from the Vail Village Master Plan that conflict with the subject improvements. Regardless, the courts in Colorado have consistently held that master plans are advisory documents only and are not binding in the same manner as zoning or subdivision regulations. 8. Whether the subiect improvements are prohibited by the protective covenants. "Structures. Buildinas or Improvements" - The Petitioner stated in June of 2000 that the proposal violates restrictive covenant provisions on the property prohibiting the erection of a "structure, building, or improvement of any kind or character" within the stream tract. The Village Center swimming pool deck and walkway are partially located on Town of Vail stream tract property. Under the Petitioner's assertions, the Village Center improvements, the covered bridge, part of Vail Chapel, all bridges and abutments, benches, lighting, bicycle paths, landscaping, flagpoles and pillars must be removed from the stream tract. Staff believes this is inconsistent with the way the public (as well as the Village Center Condo Association) has enjoyed the use of the stream tract property for decades. As mentioned previously, this proposal involves the placement of natural rock and plant materials within the stream tract, not "structures, buildings or improvements." The stream tract contains hundreds (if not thousands) of plants and boulders. Special Events - The Petitioner stated in June of 2000 that the proposal violates covenant provisions stating "nor shall there be permitted within or upon the Subject Land any informal or organized public or private gathering or any other act by any person or persons, which in the judgment of the Owner, and the appropriate officials of the Town of Vail may deface, alter, destroy or damage the landscaping, vegetation or aesthetic value of the Subject Land or litter its surface." The covenant language specifically grants decision-making power on the use of the property to the Owner (Town of Vail) and "appropriate officials of the Town of Vail." The Vail Town Council, Planning and Environmental Commission and Design Review Board (acting as the required "Planning and Architectural Control Committees") have reviewed the proposal at numerous public hearings and determined the nature of this proposal and the use of the property are appropriate. Additionally, special events on the property (The Jeep Whitewater Festival, for example) are reviewed and permitted by the Town's Development Review Team (representatives from Police, Fire, Building, Planning, and Public Works) to ensure negative impacts on the property are either avoided or mitigated. Staff firmly believes these covenant provisions and requirements have been met in full. 8 LIM1$IT A N zI w • S' ER NATIONAL FOREST cn I RN w W HlTE I Xf 0 PATCH b,. r.e. TOW N fff•••...

Frohardt!Administrator ~y TOWN OF VAIL 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 970-479-2100 Fax: 970-479-2157 www.ci.vail.co.us Memorandum TO: Vail Town Council members FROM: Lorelei Donaldson, Secretary to the Local Licensing Authority RE: Letter regarding Nick's (nightclub) from Sperberg Dunlevie PC DATE: September 24, 2001 Please find attached a letter from Sperberg Dunlevie PC representing Gastof Gramshammer, Inc. At the September 12, 2001 Local Licensing Authority (LLA) meeting, the board reviewed and heard details and relevant information regarding the 100% transfer of the tavern liquor license for Nick's. The LLA board members questioned the representatives of Vail Nightclub's Inc., dba Nick's (the new owners) on how the new owners and operators planned on addressing the noise issues and the ventilation issues this space had in the past. The new manager, Todd Gehrke, and other representatives of Nick's explained to the board that the interior space of Nick's is currently being "gutted" and an extensive remodel is in process which will include additional insulation and soundproofing, moving speakers away from the walls, as well as a new ventilation system that will be part of the new nightclub space to alleviate most, if not all, of the noise issues that the "old" Nick's had in the past. The LLA stressed the importance of correcting these issues from the beginning and thanked the new owners for being proactive in trying to alleviate and correcting these issues. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at 479-2136. cc: Local Licensing Authority Joe Russell, Vail P.D.

DUNLEVIE Vail Town Council Members C/O The Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Road, West Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Nick's Nightclub Honorable Mayor and Council Members: My client, Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer, Inc., has noted the sale of Nick's Nightclub and requested I advise you again, as my client has done in the past, of the problems with the past operation of Nick's and our request that you become involved with the new owner(s), to avoid a continuance of these problems in the future. WELLS FARGO Nick's Nightclub, located just across Bridge Street from my client's business, CENTER, and previously owned by Ron Riley, has been a problem, and source of lost SUITE 205 70 BENCHMARK RD revenues, to Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer virtually since the time it opened for P.O. Box 3420 business. The Town of Vail should have a rather large file containing AvON, COLORADO complaints, not only from my client, but also from our guests as visitors to 81620 Vail, and residents of Mountain Haus and its association as we understand. Over the years these complaints to the Town have relayed the noise that Nick's has constantly generated, late into the night and morning hours. We have told you of our guest's complaints, of the early checkouts where visitors leave Vail and take their money that vould have been vYc t in Vail with thew... We have even passed on to the Town the written complaints of our guests. We have 970845-0200 advised you of the damage this situation has caused to Vail's image, and 970-845-7339 FAx consequently to tourism to our town. It is not to Vail's credit that our hotel guests have been able to sign a list of their complaints of noise from Nick's, kept at our front desk, or that we have been forced to give these Vail guests discounts on their hotel rooms due to complaints about Nick's. Many guests have followed their admonition to Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer that they would not return to Hotel Gasthof Gramshammer, or Vail, as they cannot get a nights rest. Certainly these problems are greater in the summer, when our guests leave their windows open to benefit from the clear mountain air in Vail. As Gasthof Gramshammer is one of the first, and premier hotels in Vail, no air " conditioning exists in the building, so open windows in the summer is a natural Ilk thing for our guests to want to do. Yet still, even beyond summer Nick's has been a constant source of noise complaints. Knowing what significant renovations were required to operate Sheika's Night Club (closed two years ago), which included investment of over $20,000.00 in special ventilation to keep our club doors closed, and soundproofing to keep the noise inside, my client is well aware of what should have been required in Nick's, long ago. We are informed that the new owner has represented to the Town of Vail Liquor Authority board, that in their substantial renovations they plan to install ventilation and soundproofing, to avoid the problems of the past. This anticipated quiet is "music to our ears." Beyond this, we ask the Council and Town of Vail make sure the doors are kept closed and not allow, or enforce ordinances prohibiting, loud speakers placed at the doors. We must ask this as in the past Nick's almost always left their door open and had loud speakers placed at the door, apparently flaunting their disdain for Vail's noise ordinances. We also ask for officers to patrol Bridge Street between 11:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m.. Screaming or yelling from bar patrons leaving the bars has been a daily sound of the late nights. We look forward to the Council and the Town acting now, with a new owner that is apparently open to suggestion, and resolving these problems before they begin again when the new owners open for business. With your help this problem can be resolved to the benefit of Vail, Gasthof Gramshammer and all the surrounding businesses and residents. Without your help my client will only have remedies in court, which would be a sad day for Vail, its residents, and all businesses on Bridge Street and in Vail. We look forward to your involvement and assistance in taking action now, while the opportunity exists, to resolve this problem once and for all. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation.

M. Tuesday, August 14, 2001 Vail Golf Club House, Seasons at the Green Restaurant 1778 Vail Valley Drive MEMBERS PRESENT Hermann Staufer, Ross Davis, Nancy Stevens, Tom Saalfeld, Chris Moffet TOV COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT Diana Donovan STAFF PRESENT Bob Trautz, Jim Heber, Tom Gaylord, Lisa Isom, Jean McGuey, Joel Rabinowitz, Greg Aiken, Jim Myers, Randy Houseman, Jim Sanders, Sean Riley, Amy Reffkin OTHERS PRESENT Colleen McCarthy, Len Bloom, Bob Kemmerer, Shawn Boris, Mike McNeill, Jerry Stevens, Malin Johnsdotter, Glenn Davis, Geraldine Haldner-Larkin (Vail Trail) CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order by Hermann Staufer at 9:00 a.m. PUBLIC INPUT Colleen McCarthy read a letter from Brian Wagner, who was not able to attend the meeting and apologizes for his absence. This letter is presented as a constructive solution to tee times. A copy of the letter is attached to these minutes. Colleen pointed out that the letter contains July 25`x' Eagle County assessed property values. Colleen personally commented that she was very surprised to learn some of these numbers. She was always informed that commercial properties paid most of the taxes. These numbers show that this is not true and she stands corrected, and everyone in this room should stand corrected also. Colleen asked the Board to agree today to discuss these numbers. Hermann stated that the mission of the Board was to serve all the VRD taxpayers. Further, the VRD needs to give a break to not only those who live here, but those who work here as well. Bob Kemmerer, residing in East Vail for 4-1/2 months, spoke as one who is not qualified to buy a pass. Pointed out that he more than fulfills the 32 day residency requirement for an ID card. He is assisting the property 1 owner in paying his taxes. The 32 day published requirement and the differing golf restrictions are inconsistent. Feels he is contributing to the Vail community but is not being considered. Mr. Wagner is in a different constituency. Vail is trying to establish itself as a destination travel location and a 32-day residency fits with this plan, but then is cancelled out with the pass regulations. Hermann suggested that perhaps they will have to re-look at all passes. Tom said that this was very clear, and Bob agreed. Colleen stated that on revisiting the pass situation, the Board should take personalities and names out of the situation. Ross responded that the problem has been addressed every year since he has been a Board member, also, it appears that the published criteria for residency requirements does not apply to the golf pass. APPROVAL OF JULY Ross Davis moved to approve minutes of July 10' and 24`' meetings. MINUTES Chris seconded. Nancy questioned whether there was too much misinformation in the July 10' minutes. It was decided that it was input from the public and is proper. The minutes were approved with no changes. DOBSON ARENA FEE DISCUSSION Jim Heber reviewed discussion of the proposed fees at the last meeting. He still stands by the fees, they need a step up, and can be justified with the new building. Nancy asked about the proposed Dome fees and Jim outlined the following: Posted rate $185.00 an hour Vail Jr. Hockey 145.00 Men's and Ladies 165.00 Skating Club 145.00 Daily Rental 2,000.00 Jerry Stevens spoke on behalf of Youth Hockey and Skating programs. Has been a resident for 30 years, happy to pay VRD taxes, including golf, although he doesn't play. He urged the VRD to curtail the increase for Youth Hockey and Skating programs, as the proposed fee has almost tripled since 1997. Wants to have these programs affordable for youth in this valley. Aspen is only increasing $5.00 an hour. Commended Jim and staff on attention to their responsibilities, but believes that the VRD rates should be in line with what users can afford, and in line with other communities. Suggested that the rates should be no more than $135.00 an hour for Dobson and $110.00 for the Bubble. 2 Glenn Davis spoke on behalf of Vail Junior Hockey. VJH did their budget calculations before seeing the proposed rates, and this severely impacts their budget as it is a 37% increase. They take in about $56,000 in sponsor revenue and $36,000 in special events, and try to maintain registration at a reasonable rate. Would have to significantly enhance sponsorship to ask for an increase there, and this is not really probable. If a fundraising tournament was held at the Vail Golf Club, they can expect $7,500 to $10,000, but will still be $25,000 - 30,000 short and don't want to increase registration cost. They don't pay coaches except in Midgets. If ice fees are increased they are not in a position to enhance programming and can't add coaching at other levels. Have to spend everything on operations. Jim stated that the State average is high, but a lot of arenas are at $125 to $150 and they increase the average. Wants to keep fees somewhere in the middle. Proposed fee increases will move Dobson into this range. Shawn Boris spoke on behalf of Skating Club of Vail. Shawn shares the same concerns, but on a much smaller level as they don't have as many kids out on the ice at a time. This impacts the number of people that can use the ice. Figure skating allows kids not comfortable in a team setting to still participate in a group. Thanked Jim and Amy for getting the ice ready on time for the Invitational. Volunteers put in 350 hours of time for this event. Pointed out that the going rate for Town or Recreation District rinks was $110 to $120. Shawn became active with the Skating Club in 1998 when the rate was $75, in 2000 the rate had increased to $110, and the $160 proposed represents a 50% increase since 1998. Compared to Montauk's menu prices a 50% increase in the same time frame would put them out of business. An increase of this amount will make the ice rink something that people will not come to. Jerry stated that the proposed Youth fees are the highest usage fees on the schedule. Youth Hockey and Figure skating are the biggest users and have the biggest fees. Jim said that a lot of rinks have double sheets of ice, and can keep fees lower. Operating costs (especially utilities) of the Dome were much higher than estimated. Herman thanked Jerry, Glenn and Shawn for their input, and said that the Board had gotten the message regarding fees. Glenn suggested that the Board consider a contract spelling out protocol. 3 Jim responded that this was addressed at the last meeting, and that they were guaranteeing the Skating Club and Youth Hockey make-up time at the Dome (bubble) if their Dobson time is superceded by an event. Nancy agreed that events bring in more money. Need to set fees today as hockey starts in September. Ross stated that because of the relationship with the Town, VRD paid for Dobson out of their own pocket. The cost in debt service is $650.00 a day, and the fees have to cover this. Pointed out that golfers who get passes and punch cards are all taxpayers, but in hockey, 85% of the kids' parents do not pay VRD taxes. This fee structure passes some of this expense ($37,000) on to the users. The cost per day has also gone up substantially. The user groups should absorb some of these costs. It is a hard decision. Jerry responded in saying that we live in a recreational resort. Dobson attracts people from all over. We are bringing people to Vail, don't want to discourage users of Dobson, want people to use the facility, grow youth programs, come to hockey camps, etc. Sees the need for an increase, but proposal is too much. There are other places that have had no increase at all. Jim said that they do try to keep things affordable. Costs are what they are in the market. Skating Club, Men's and Youth Hockey are the biggest users of the facility. Feels fees are in line with what the product is now. Glenn added that if Vail Junior Hockey and even Men's Hockey went away (Breckenridge?) it would be better for Dobson's budget. Jim replied that it is to a point. The difference is that Breckenridge has a twin sheet of ice. Looking at the proposed fee schedule, Nancy went on a line-by-line listing. Suggested that the $200.00 for hourly rink rental was OK. Proposed that Junior Hockey, Skating Club be set at $135.00 an hour, and Men's and Ladies Hockey be set at $165.00 an hour. Other rates are OK as proposed. Last year, the Bubble was $100.00 an hour, Jim's plan is $145.00, and her recommendation is $120.00 for Youth and $140.00 for adults. Possibly locker rates could go up. Wants to keep Junior Hockey in Vail, disagrees with Ross' statement that 85% are non-Vail residents. Ross asked if Jim would still have flexibility to schedule special events. Nancy said yes, and this flexibility is also the reason for lower rates for Youth, since they can be bumped to the Dome. Ross asked if the in-district subsidy would still be included, and Nancy said it would. 4 Nancy asked Jim about the seating issue at Dobson, and Jim replied that they had a meeting last week with the Town and he expects to have fully engineered plans by the end of this month. Hopes to be finished by mid- November. Hermann asked when the Town's decision was expected, and Bob replied that it was in the Town's best interest, as well as ours, to be able to increase capacity. Doors and staircases can start as soon as design is completed, smoke evacuation system and electrical back-up systems are the biggest issue. Jim added that they are also trying to do the work as economically as possible. Gary Goodell at the Town is amenable to the project proceeding. ' Nancy brought up the issue of the Town's "free" days. Shawn responded that fees of $500.00 plus another $650.00 (as proposed by Ross as a "Debt Service Fee") is not in the spirit of the Town's grant. If money raised from the Invitational goes to pay debt, then kids don't skate. Tom Saalfeld pointed out that the rates went from $85.00 to $110.00, and now to $165.00. Thinks 50% is too much to bear - fees should be around $140 - $145.00 a day. Encourages special events at Dobson. Jim said that he was willing and able to work with event promoters, wants to take on 10-12 more events to improve the bottom line. People won't get totally shut out as they used to be before the Dome was available. Shawn said it was a timing problem for them, as it impacts the middle of the season. Is Dobson an ice rink or is it a special events facility? Tom suggested setting the important first five rate increases at no more than 30%. Ross said that user groups should be charged $650.00 as an add-on, or increase the proposed hourly rate another $5.00. Chris said that she was on the same page with Nancy, more comfortable with the $135.00 to $140.00 range. Feels rates at the Dome should not be raised at all, until amenities, such as skate rentals, score boards and toilets are available. She is not comfortable with adding $650.00 to the Town's "free" days, and stated that the Board would be working against them if this charge is instituted. The Town will not look at it favorably. Hermann said that he realized Jim made the budget looking at best numbers available. Proposed that Jim take $15.00 off each fee proposed. Thinks it would be a reasonable compromise. Thinks the $650.00 should be paid by the Town, because they did not fund the remodel. He agrees with Brian Wagner that the VRD "provides recreation to visitors and locals alike". It is somebody else's business to bring in tourists, and he doesn't want an "event free-for-all" to rob residents of ice time. Rates must be set today. 5 Lenny Bloom pointed out that corporate groups are brought in that rob golfers of tee times - this is on par with the Dobson issue. Ross stated that he thinks the base rate should be $145.00 for hockey, and $165.00 for Men's. Nancy made a motion to set Youth Hockey and Skating Club at $140.00, Men's and Ladies at $165.00. Diana Donovan said that the Council felt that there is a very iffy year ahead, and encouraged the Board to keep rates as low as possible. Recommended that the Board be cautious about the free days. Everyone needs to understand that TOV gets no return from Dobson, and this should lead to lower rates for groups, and especially Youth programs. You are managing TOV facilities. Ross commented that the VRD took over a rink with a $385,000 a year deficit. Diana responded that the Board has a great deal to work on to improve communications. Need to work on the same page with the Town, are not talking enough, which leads to misunderstandings, particularly in regard to Gymnastics. Chris said they had talked directly to Council about Gymnastics in a joint session. Hermann added that perhaps it was time to schedule another meeting with the Town. Ross made an alternate motion to go with $20.00 less per hour than proposed, and no $650.00 fee. Motion did not pass. Nancy presented her motion again: Hourly Rental $200.00 Junior & High School Hockey 140.00 per hour Skating Club 140.00 per hour Men's/Ladies Hockey 165.00 per hour Daily Rental (Ice Only) $2,400.00 All other rates as proposed, except no charge for debt service on "free days", just hard cost. Chris seconded, all voted in favor, except for Ross. Motion passed. For the Ice Dome: Hourly Rental $150.00 Junior & High School Hockey 120.00 per hour Skating Club 120.00 per hour Men's/Ladies Hockey 145.00 per hour Tom seconded, all voted in favor. 6 Y S Hermann thanked everyone for coming to agreement. Glenn thanked the Board for their decision. BOARD MEMBER INPUT Nancy reported that the dedication of the Tennis Courts to Bill Wright was outstanding, presentation was very well done. Thanks to all. Hermann asked Bob about the numbers quoted in Wagner's letter and Bob said that these are "raw" numbers from Eagle County. The County includes rental condominiums and multi-units in residential. Out of $5 billion, less than $2 billion is truly residential. The numbers need to be adjusted. The difference between residential and commercial is as much as 29% higher, and is a distinction to look at. For the record, we are audited by McMahan and Associates yearly, and also retain an attorney to guide us on questions such as this. The transfer limit on the Ento,,y.ise Fund is 10%, the usual actual transfer is $100,000, or about 5%. Regarding the "golf myth", the schedule offers an "accounting estimate" to arrive at an approximate bottom line for the Golf Course. This type of analysis is common in the financial world and is merely a tool to aid management in the operation of its business. Bonds were underwritten by Norwest (formerly Wells Fargo) who handle a very large percentage of bonds in the State. The VRD has met or exceeded all requirements. Hermann instructed Bob to get ready to respond. We all know what Brian Wagner wants, it's a personal issue. We're representing the taxpayers - all taxpayers. Tom read from a memo that addresses a lot of the issues. He stated that he believes Wagner is trying to help the Board. Policy has been set up to give the advantage to locals who live and work in Vail. Critical July and August play is the only local restriction. Hermann said that the biggest problem with Brian's questions is the time it requires of staff. It is time to stop that. Asked the rest of the Board to support him in this area. Bob added that a written request for inf~~....ation works better for staff time-wise. STAFF INPUT Randy said that there were many fundamental exaggerations in Wagner's letter, and holes in the information. Using July 4t' as a representative day is impractical, as it is the busiest time possible. There have been tee times available for the entire summer for both locals and visitors. Ross added that it's like the airlines - you can always get on if you want to pay full rate. 7 r ADJOURNMENT Ross moved to adjourn at 10:35 a.m. to go to Executive Session to discuss Golf Course rates, and the 2002 VRD Budget Schedule. Nancy seconded. Approved unanimously. oss Dav'91--r., can McGu W, Administrative Assistant j/O1 BOD/8-1401 minutes.doc 8 R 4 MINUTES WORK SESSION MEETING VAIL PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT d/b/a VAIL RECREATION DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS 9:00 A. M. Tuesday, August 28, 2001 Vail Golf Clubhouse, Seasons at the Green Restaurant 1778 Vail Valley Drive MEMBERS PRESENT Hermann Staufer, Chris Moffet, Ross Davis, Tom Saalfeld, Nancy Stevens STAFF PRESENT Piet Pieters, Bob Trautz, Randy Houseman, Jim Heber, Jim Myers, Jim Sanders, Tom Gaylord, Mike Ortiz, Wendy Cheff, Marc Thomas, Joel Rabinowitz TOV MEMBERS PRESENT Diana Donovan OTHERS PRESENT Brian McCartney, Bob McLaurin, Len Bloom, Michael Caccioppo CALL TO ORDER Hermann Staufer called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. FORD PARK PARKING Piet introduced Brian and Bob and stated that they were here to discuss the possibility of employee parking on the ball fields. Piet's concern is about getting the fields ready by June 1 if that can be guaranteed, then he doesn't see any problem. Bob reviewed the Town's efforts in terms of parking and the plans for short, middle and long-term solutions. Cars were parked on the Frontage Road for 40-50 days last winter when the parking garages were full, would like to see this reduced to 15-20 days. Proposing using Ford Park for employees; knows that the old mats did not work, but doesn't want to waste time if the issue cannot even be discussed. Brian said that they were here to see if it was worth taking the time to explore technologies. He has a contact with the Broncos sod management team, and it may be possible to use a combination of astro turf and concrete decks. Bob said that if they can find the technology, they envision this to be free employee parking. Costs would be between the ski company and the town. The town would bump up shuttles, and take care of safety and security issues. Can it be pursued? Hermann agreed that the material used previously did not work, the field still has scars, and oil and anti freeze were absorbed into the ground. Unless he was convinced that new technology would work, he would not do it again. Ross said that two weeks worth of World Championships parking on the soccer field cost the District $55,000 and took a year of work to restore. Is definitely against the proposal. Suggested using the lower bench for employee and valet parking as a test. If that works, would consider for the ball fields. Stated that the open grassy area is a welcoming asset to 1 the town, and doesn't want to see it destroyed. Bob replied that the access road to Ford Park is not engineered for heavy vehicle traffic. Tom said that he was undecided and Nancy did also. They asked to hear more about the technology. Chris stated that the first priority for the District was recreation, and that means that the fields need to be available. Suggested building a parking structure on the Ford Park lot. Bob said that was a long-term solution. Ross suggested grading the new Red Sandstone field and using it for parking before sodding. Piet said that this would mean another year before the field could be used. Bob said that they are contracting for other parking locations, and will figure out if they will pursue this option. They are looking for 400-500 spaces. 2002 FEES Piet stated that there are four more meetings to discuss fees. Fees need to be set by the first meeting in November, in order for the budget to be approved at the first meeting in December. Tom Saalfeld is going to take the golf numbers to the golf advisory group. Mike Ortiz reviewed the Sports Department proposed fees and said that except for gymnastics class fees, a pretty minimal increase to bring in line with other fees, no fees had been increased. Noted that there was a typo in the soccer fees on page 1 - for 2001, the Regular fee should read $135.00 and the Taxpayer fee should read $75.00. Hermann asked if Mike planned to hire any more employees. Mike replied that they could not take on any more programs with the existing staff and were planning on setting up sand volleyball and summer outdoor soccer on a self-sustaining basis. Nancy asked if the programs could be kept if another person were hired. Mike said that it was a huge cost for two programs and not cost efficient. Tom asked about the amount of work added for the bike races, and Nancy added that she would like to see more programs. Chris noted that the soccer rates were increased and Mike replied that the program was still pretty new, and they are still developing costs. Nancy asked about the time involved in baseball vs. soccer. Mike said that the baseball cost is in line with Little League nationally and is already more than Eagle, and he doesn't want to increase the fee. A shorter season seems to work better for baseball, and is something than can be discussed with parents and coaches. Nancy asked about a longer schedule for High Country Hoops and Mike answered that Youth Soccer started this week, Youth Football will start next week, and Hockey starts in two weeks. Will work on it, but won't promise anything. Tom Gaylord presented the Nature Center fees and stated there were very few changes. Prices on several programs were raised last year, and he wants to work on increasing attendance rather than prices. "Keepers of the Earth" has been dropped due to lack of attendance. 2 J Chris inquired about Camp Eco-Fun, and Tom said they were very pleased with the response. A half-day was offered, which they are considering eliminating because of logistics. Are looking for growth in this program. Hermann asked about average participation in Nature Center programs. Tom stated that most programs run with a half-dozen people or fewer and this fluctuates by season. The Medicinal Plant program might turn into a themed hike. Tom Saalfeld said that he was concerned that we're offering programs that no one knows about. Gaylord replied that programs such as Stream Ecology and Drawing and Water Color do have low attendance, but were priced to carry themselves and do not take a lot of people to run them. Ross asked about the difference between Tuesday and Thursday hikes. Tom replied that Thursday is a longer and more difficult hike, and that he wants to offer more variety as all hikes are popular. Joel Rabinowitz also stated that the Youth Services fees did not have a lot of changes. Kidzone is lower than other after-school care programs, and should be. A $1.00 increase in admissions for Family Carnival is proposed, as contractor price increases are anticipated. Camp Vail non-resident attendance increased this year. Prices have been standardized for consistency. Camp Eco-Fun was successful, but the half-day program was inconsistent in terms of child care. Ross inquired if the cost increases were passed through and Joel said that they were. Tom Saalfeld asked about the plans for Family Carnival. Joel said that the plan for the event is relatively the same, and sees the event increasing in popularity. Will try to schedule after hockey is over. Chris commented that it was nice to see that rates were not increasing across the board. Randy Houseman said that the first goal for Golf was to raise the number of rounds, filling afternoon and off-season times. Randy will be moving the shoulder season back to Sept. 15d', not Oct I", in line with other courses in the valley. Outside guest (non pass-holder) fees will stay the same for off-season. "Twilight" rates have been listed at $50 in the shoulder season, and $70 on weekdays and $80 on weekends in the regular season. The next option is to add an Eagle Country resident rate. Sees our market a combination of resort players, pass-holders/VRD Board and staff, and Eagle County residents. We are not doing anything for this last group. Nancy asked if it had been hard to control the existing Twilight Pass, and Randy said only five people signed up for the pass. There is a lot of open space on the golf course in the afternoons. Hermann asked about the proposed time, and Randy said it would fluctuate depending on sunset. 4-4:30 p.m. is traditionally "twilight start" time, but Randy can move earlier if wanted. Some courses have set 2:00 p.m. as twilight start time. 3 Three proposals are set out for pass programs: 1) Raise season pass by $50. Believes it is low, would still be a significant value. The 10-round and 5-round punch rates are OK, but a nine-hole punch is more easily managed. 2) The Junior Pass is unchanged, and is a good program. The cart pass is the same and is a necessary component. 3) The biggest change is in the Range punch card. This is ci....:...tly too low - it's a $290.000 value and we're selling it for $75.00. Recommends doubling to $150.00 Tom asked if the high-season rates for guests was OK, and Randy replied that they were, assuming the timing is OK on when the rates go into effect. Wants to ride out for another year before making any changes. Is reluctant to go backwards, but we are in a competitive realm. Nancy asked about the Eagle County resident pass proposal, and expressed concern that it would put present pass-holders up in arms. Piet responded that we need to get feedback from the constituents. Randy stated that groups are a very big component and there has been a set fee of $125.00 a player. Shawn Carlson has suggested being able to negotiate with corporate planners as he needs a tool to encourage planners to book with the club. He has come up with a tiered system, depending on the number of players. Range Balls and Rental Clubs have been increased slightly, just trying to increase revenue. Pull carts are unchanged. Storage gets very little usage and has been left unchanged. In response to Hermann's request for Board feedback, Nancy said that she still wants to see a season pass. She is concerned about adding more items., and also concerned about taking playing time away from VRD pass-holders. Randy replied that we do have a lot of open times, but perhaps not at 7 a.m. Tom stated that he was concerned about people playing 18-holes on 9- hole punch cards. Randy said that he wants the 9-hole player to commit to only playing 9 holes. Starters and staff get to know faces, and can readily pull the card is the system is abused. Tom said he likes the incentive for Eagle County residents. Only resistance would be high season times. Will talk to the golf subcommittee about the proposal and is excited about the possibility. Ross suggested adding a new category, a new system comparable to that used at Eagle-Vail. This would allow pass-holders to bring a guest in shoulder seasons, and would only be applicable if the guest was playing with the pass-holder in the foursome. It's a program for residents to bring someone as a guest, and would increase revenue in the low seasons. Randy said this could be managed, is a training issue. Ross said that it could be simplified by not using a Twilight Pass or an Eagle County Pass. 4 a Ross suggested abolishing a pass for carts, and making 65 the age for seniors, as elsewhere. Range punch is a fair fee at 50% of retail. A 9- hole punch rate depends on strict parameters controlled by staff. Package rates for groups is a great idea. All other fees proposed are OK. Chris said that she likes Randy's proposals. The Twilight and Eagle County suggestions are a good response to competition. She dislikes Ross' proposal regarding guests, considers it a separate issue from the Eagle County resident proposal. Flexibility in group rates is good. Hermann summed up by saying that we have competition for the first time. Sees the Eagle County resident pass as having problems that need to be resolved beforehand, but likes the idea. Hermann would also like to create a discount for people who work within the Town limits - something like the VR Merchant Pass - as we need to give them a break. Would love to see the whole system simplified by going to an ID card and adjusting rates depending on course conditions. Randy commented that he can set restrictions however the Board chooses. In response to Nancy's question, Hermann said that second homeowners should not pay less than people who work in town - wants to give workers a chance to play more often. Randy added that the Eagle County card could encompass all of the categories under discussion. Chris asked about an Eagle County punch card that employers could buy for employees. Randy said that punch cards require a lot of time issue, he would rather move towards a daily fee for these categories that could be paid by cash or credit cards. Hermann asked Randy to put it all together and bring it back to the Board. Piet commented that the "golden cow" is gone, this is the first time in nine years that it may be necessary to make personnel cuts. Ross said that the "one size fits all" pass is outdated and unable to meet different demands. He would prefer a system of a much lower price pass with more restrictions (as the Vail Resorts concept), and a daily fee system in high season, where reservations would be made at the premium rate. The reality is that the course needs to average $45.00 per round and use 30,000 rounds a year. Piet reiterated that staff needs to look at prime times, ways to create revenue - we're close - will be ready next time. VARIANCE REPORT Bob presented the Variance Report through the end of July. The variance numbers are getting closer to actual, and the District is still favorable overall, still mostly from Dobson capital. Golf is $61,000 unfavorable overall with revenue $138,000 unfavorable. Everything is down, except that groups are about the same. There have been some weather issues, but not that unusual. Hermann suggested that it relates to competition, the second homeowner is going to Eagle Ranch. Bob said that the actual numbers are not that much off last year, but an additional $100,000 had been anticipated, but has not materialized. Maintenance has seen some cost reductions. 5 I Admin is unfavorable $24,000, with the majority due to legal issues which were unbudgeted items. Dobson revenue is down across the board except for Summer Skating School and Learn to Skate. Hockey revenue is greatly reduced, part of it related to the rink shutdown. Contingency is unfavorable $21,000, and Outdoor/Nature Center $5,000. To offset these unfavorable positions, Sports is $45,000 favorable, mostly due to sponsorship revenue. Timing issues will reduce this amount. Tennis is favorable. Youth Services is having a good year, and programs are going well. Overall, Bob is cautiously optimistic. Hermann asked about Dobson Special Events. Feels that the Skating Invitational went around us to get a Town of Vail "free day". Ross and Bob replied that they were within Town parameters for the event and were within their rights. Nancy asked about the capacity issue and Piet replied that the first engineer's report was due next Tuesday and will be taken to the town. The project to date is on time and about $20,000 under budget on a conservative projection. The final day for construction is September 29`h. The original project did not include the capacity/exiting issue. SOCCER CLUB REQUEST Cindy Eskwith did not appear, but her letter was discussed. Ross stated that it was a definite violation of TABOR. The request was denied. BOARD MEMBER INPUT Nancy asked for an update on the Gymnastics location, and Piet replied that the District and the Town were working on a solution. Nancy then said that she had heard that the bubble (Ice Dome) would not be ready by November 1 Piet said that it would take longer - the Driving Range will close October 0, B&B will start moving dirt and it will take five weeks to finish that phase and another two to get the bubble up. Jim Myers added that drainage needed to be done, and sod replaced. This was work that was not finished last year and is necessary. Nancy finished her remarks by asking the VRD to urge bike riders that had participated in the VRD bike races to get out and help for the World Championships. Tom asked Randy about advertising the shoulder season rates in Denver. Randy replied that Wendy was working on an ad that should be completed this week. Asked for input from this meeting to decide what to publish. Ross complimented Jim Myers on the excellent course condition. Chris complimented Mike on his wife's accomplishment (first overall women's) in the Pikes Peak Marathon. 6 ADJOURNMENT Herman asked for a motion to adjourn and go to executive session. Ross moved, Chris seconded, all agreed. Topic of executive session will be contracts for the Golf Professional and Nordic Center winter operations.
