2. OLD BUSINESS
A. Bridge - Mayor Kindel reported that the equipment
was being moved in to start construction on the Bridge and we hope that it
will be underway soon.
B. Roads - Road Contractors have indicated that there
would be a substantial lessening of cost if we could do upwards of three miles
of paving. It is quite possible that we may go this way, assuming the bond
issue is passed tomorrow.
Further investigation is being made to determine
the durability of soil cement vs. asphalt. Blake Lynch was designated to
work with the Engineers and get the specifications from them.
There will be gravel spread in the circle at the
head of Bridge Street and signs are to be installed on Bridge Street in the
hope that the traffic situation will be cleared up.
A discussion was held concerning the actual location
of the two new roads to be opened because of the publication and printing of

the Vail Resort Association Summer Brochure. Since a final answer
could not be given, it was determined that the proposed roads would be
inserted with dotted lines.

that we grant a permit for the present encroachment of Fitzhugh Scotts'
garage. Blake Lynch will present a recommendation on this matter at the
next meeting.

In order to control the situation and pickup dogs it
would be necessary to have a dog pound. At one time there was discussion
with the County Commissioners to establish a County Dog Pound. Mayor
Kindel requested Blake Lynch to meet with the Commissioners and discuss
the possibility. Peter Cosgriff was instructed to draft an ordinance on
this matter for consideration at the next Meeting.
The Town Coordinator asked Ralph Sherbondy for a
report on the dump arrangements. Mr. Sherbondy indicated that he did
• not have the actual figures at this time. Mayor Kindel requested Mr.
Sherbondy to compile the necessary figures and submit them to the Board.
Mayor Kindel requested a report from Peter Cosgriff,
the City Attorney regarding the Supreme Court Case which is pending. The
Municipal League has filed a supporting resolution and the decision should
be rendered sometime this month.

unsightly signs being put up in the village. Mayor Kindel indicated that a
sign ordinance was in the formation stage and said that conformity would
be necessary. Trustee Dobson and Trustee Seibert are on the sign committee.
