40 5, MAYOR AND TRUSTEES
Mayor Kindel noted that it is very important that the
Vail Resort Association establish liaison with the Town regarding the arrival
of groups to Vail. He asked George Knox, Sr. , to contact Rod Slifer, Pres-
ident of the Vail Resort Association, regarding the communications to the
Town Office.
Hales Weibel suggested that the Town contact the groups
and welcome them to Vail. Mayor Kindel asked George Knox, Sr. , a Member
of the Vail Resort Association Board of Directors, to also contact Mr. Slifer
it as to the feasibility of this procedure, perhaps with a form letter.

6. MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS FkOM THE TOWN
COORDINATOR
Blake Lynch introduced Morris Ferguson, General
Foreman for Valley Paving Company. Mr. Ferguson showed samples of
the soil cement taken from various locations of the paved road. The samples
tested 660 pounds of pressure per square inch. Mr. Langmaid questioned
the uneven surfaces and erosion in certain areas. Mr. Ferguson ekt lairied
that the surfaces were uneven because of the varying depths of the deposits
of sand that covered the seal coat on the soil cement. When the sand was
41 removed and the oil and chips were laid the road would be smooth.
Mayor Kindel noted that the roads would be center
lined and well as outlined. In addition, Mayor Kindel stated that the Town
would be using one of the by-products of the crushing plant to begin work on
the outlying roads. By using this material, it will give the Town the oppor-
tunity to build up the road bed.
George Knox, Sr., asked when the Bridge would be
open for traffic. Morris Ferguson reported that Mr. Weeden had indicated
that the bridge would be open on Thursday, October 1Zth, 1967.
Peter Seibert, reported that the Light at the entrance
would be replaced in the island and trees were to be planted.
Mrs. Ella Knox asked if there could be a light installed
on the Covered Bridge. Mr. Seibert indicated that plans were to light the
under portion of the bridge. Mayor Kindel requested Trustee Dobson and
Trustee Burdick to work together to find a means of lighting the bridge.
With no further business to come before the Board, Trustee Seibert made a
Motion that the Meeting be adjourned at 7:40 p. m. It was seconded by Trustee
0 Burdick and approved unanimously by the Board.
