3. REPORT ON REFUSE SITE
Blake Lynch reported that due to the new Interstate High-
way construction, we would have to discontinue using the present dump sometime

in June. In addition, the State Legislature has recently passed a bill requiring
all refuse disposal sites to meet minimum health standards. This will become
law in 1965 and will necessitate increased expenditures on the part of most
towns in maintaining their refuse disposal sites. Since operating out own
disposal site under the provisions of the new law would be expensive, a cooper-
ative and regional approach to this problem seems desirable. Mr. Ralph
Sherbondy is proposing to operate a disposal site near Wolcott on land leased
from the BLM. If the rates are reasonable this appears to be a suitable solution
to our refuse disposal problems. A discussion was held and Mayor Kindel
turned the matter over to Blake Lynch for further investigation.
4. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS - BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Mayor Kindel made the announcement that 'Trustee
Burdick was appointed to the Municipal League Resolutions Committee by
Municipal League President, Robert Keating.
Mayor Kindel announced that the 45th annual conference
of the Colorado Municipal League will be held in Estes Park and all of the
Board Members are encouraged to attend. Information will be distributed later.
Trustee Hoyt reported on the gravel crusher and batch
plant that would be set up in the area. The State Highway Department will have
a wet plant. The biggest problem is securing a source for the purchase of
gravel. The County will be using their gravel resources on the Airport and
several smaller jobs in the area. When these jobs are completed the County will
bring their asphalt batch plant to Vail and will supply the manpower and equip-
ment for our paving. This will substantially decrease our cost from $12, 000. 00
per mile to $6, 000. OO.per mile.
Mayor Kindel made the announcement that it would be
appreciated if the Members of the Board arrived at the Town Meetinp on time
to prevent delay in the proceedings.
Trustee Hoyt noted that we have not given tickets, warn-
ing or otherwise and asked the cooperation of the local citizens in observing
the posted signs.

and said that Judge Luby has been advised to show cause within 15 days. The
decision from the Supreme Court will probably came in the latter part of June
or in July.
Blake Lynch made the announcement that a special
Meeting would be held in the Town Office on May loth at 9:00 o'clock for the
purpose of setting the date for the Bond Election authorizing the Vail General
Improvement District to issue bonds for street paving purposes.
S. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
0 1. Would the savings on the paving with County parti-
cipation increase the road area that will be paved:' Mayor Kindel answered
that there would be a further study made.
2. When would the bridge be started? The Town
Coordinator answered that the Forest Service was still investigating the
reliability of the low bidder and at this time it was anticipated that it would
begin on the 22nd of May. There were some problems that had to be worked
out on the engineering.
3. Fred Froehlich asked if it would be possible to get
some grading done on Beaver Dam Road. Mayor Kindel answered that our
maintenance man was on vacation now and to adequately take care of Beaver
Dam Road, it would be necessary to find a gravel source.

Motion to adjourn. It was seconded by Trustee Langmaid and approved
