by a double coat of chips and oil. At this time the schedule calls for construc-
tion to begin on August loth.
Mayor Kindel stated that the area behind the Red Lion
would be landscaped from Hanson Ranch Road to Gore Creek Drive. A bid
has been presented by Steve Ruder for the work in mind, but that time would
be needed to look over the bid.

5. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS FROM THE TOWN
COORDINATOR
The Town Coordinator, Blake Lynch, discussed the
laying of the cable in the core area for the Cable TV Project prior to the
it completion of the road paving. If the Town did this, it would give the Board
more time to select the Franchisee. Whatever the Town invested in this
would be sold to the Franchisee at cost.

7. REPORTS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION
Mayor Kindel announced that we have not yet officially
received the recommendations of the Planning Board regarding the Pulis
Annexation.
8. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Mayor Kindel made the comment that the Board was
always interested in hearing the comments and constructive suggestions
from any resident of Vail. Communication is so important. In nearly
every incident where exception has been taken to activities of the Board it
. was because of the lack of understanding or perhaps lack of knowledge of
the background of the actions.
George Knox asked if there was something to be done
about the parking lot across from the Casino. Mayor Kindel reported
that the Town is in the process of negotiating a lease for this area. Peter
Seibert also made the comment that George Beardsley who is working on a
Master Plan will be in Vail on Thursday and that the parking lots will be
one item that will be gone over.
Hans Weibel asked if something couldn't be done about
the landscaping of the parking lots along the highway, because it was our
front door and at this time they are an eyesore. Peter Seibert indicated
that after the parking lots were graded, the area would be cleaned up and
given a shot of oil.

The question of the drainage problem was discussed.
Vail Associates will work with the Town to try and come up with some
reasonable solution for it. Mayor Kindel suggested that we push some type
of improvement there.
George Knox asked if there are more building sites
platted for the plaza area. Two additional sites are platted; however,
plans have not been finalized.
Gary White asked if the street improvement program
• called for landscaping along the rights of way. Mayor Kindel answered
that as it stands right now our plans do not include landscaping. Perhaps
it is an individual responsibility for the cleanup and landscaping. The
matter will be further studied. The road will be widened, particularly
the extension of the culvert! on East Meadow Drive.
With no further business to come before the Board, Trustee Burdick made
a Motion that the Meeting be adjourned. It was seconded by Trustee
