-TO VACATE A SMALL PORTION 01? MILL,CREEK CIRCLE`
Trustee Willett read a recommendation by Blake •Lynch.
He also stated that there were certain problems that the Board inherited where
people have encroachments on the town streets.. He indicated, that his recom-
mendation would be to vacate the area where the encroachment .was prior to
the incorporation.
A discussion was held concerning the vacation:. Fred
Froehlich commented that 4 feet from the corner of the garage is the sewer
line. If the line breaks and it is necessary to dig up the street, it would be
practically impossible and would undermine the foundation, therefore,it might
be suggested that the sewer lime be moved since We require at least 10 feet
normally.
The Board of Trustees referred the matter to the Planning
and Zoning Board for further study with the recommendation from Mayor Kindel
that it be studied carefully since it was a precedent making matter...

6. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS
Revenue Report
The Town Coordinator noted that this was just a
revenue report and that a more detailed quarterly report would be forthcom-
ing in July.
B. Refuse Site
The Town has secured a disposal site for a period
of three months at a cost of $100. 00 per month.
C. League Conference
Blake Lynch reported that the League is moving along
to effect municipal home rule provisions in the State of Colorado which would
be a great asset to towns such as Vail. The debt limit stipulation would be
alleviated and more flexibility would be allowed in governing their own affairs.
This requires an amendment to the Constitution, and thus would have to be
voted on by the people in 1968.
D. Police Chief

background of the new Police Chief, Floyd Holmes. Mayor Kindel requested
that time be allocated during the first Meeting in July for the introduction

Motion to adjourn at 10:00 p..m. It was seconded by Trustee Langmaid and
