The Board approved the Meeting site at the Vail Country Day School in the Vail Clinic Building, and directed the Town Manager to secure folding conference tables. 4. Discussion of Proposed Second Nine -Hole Golf Course. Mayor Kindel commended Blake Lynch for all the work done to get the financial planning accomplished for the second nine hole course. The Town Manager then gave a report and explanation of the proposed second nine, noting that the Town would be utilizing Ben Kruegers' talent and experience to do most of the work ourselves and the anticipated completion date would be 1970. A large 10" water line is proposed for the golf course, that will be utilized for the golf course, but at a later date will also be used for domestic purposes. The cost of this line will be shared by the Water and Sanitation District. Trustee Dobson recommended that good communications to the voting public be continued. 5. Discussion of 1968 Golf Rates. The Town Coordinator reported that the Recreation Board was considering golf rates of $4. 00 and $6. 00 for the 1968 per day rate. He noted that this was a preliminary discussion only. It was impor- tant that the property owners get a special rate and residents who are not property owners would have a special weekday rate on season passes. It was the consensus the suggested rates were reasonable. SPage 2 - Board of Trustees Meeting - February 26, 1968 6. Mayor and Trustees. The Town Coordinator brought to the attention of the Board that the area or alley between the Kuehn Building and the Red Lion belonged to Vail Associates, and they agreed to maintain it and keep it free of ice and snow. George Knox asked about the breezeway between the Casino and Donovans'. It was determined that it was Pieter Cramerus' problem. Trustee Donovan questioned the feasibility of the loca- tion of the proposed shopping center. It was noted that the Master Plan was not a final decision and that if one area was developed other parking space would be provided. Mayor Kindel questioned the possibility of amending an existing ordinance to prevent the blowing of horns in the village with the exception of an emergency. Blake Lynch was directed to investigate this. Blake Lynch was directed to work with Ted Holmes and determine if signs explaining traffic laws could be accomplished. Miscellaneous Matters from the Town Coordinator. In working with George Beardsley and others it has been determined that we may have 701 Aid available by May 1st. There was a discussion of an agreement with Vail Associates, the Christiania and the Town of Vail concerning the easement for the road just east of the Mill Creek Building (During the time of the road construction, the location was changed). Trustee Donovan made a Motion to approve the agreement subject to approval by Counsel. It was seconded by Trustee Langmaid and approved unanimously by the Board. George Knox asked if it was true that the Night Latch will be moved to the maintenance area. It is a possibility, but it has not come before the Planning Commission. 8. Citizen Participation Robert Parker brought two items before the Board: (1) Making Forest Road a One -Way Road to the east, It would be a distinct advantage to abet snow removal and alleviate the traffic problem. The suggestion was approved unanimously by the Board. (2) That a priority list of capitol improvements be made and of prime importance to the Town is the Convention Center. Mr, Parker . cited the need if we are to have the proper community progress, and gave a recapitulation of estimated revenue that would be brought into the Town. Mr. Parker suggested that the Town Coordinator be directed to make a financial study of a Convention Center similar to the one prepared for the second nine golf course. 0 Page 3 - The Board of Trustees - .February Z6, 1968 Trustee Dobson noted that the Vail Resort Association which is vitally interested, should make a concentrated effort to promote such a center. Mr. Parker noted that an 18 hole golf course and a convention center go hand -in -hand, and both projects are needed for the development of the summer program, The Convention Center Committee has not submitted any recommendations to the Board of Trustees and it was felt that the Members of such committee should be alerted to the urgency of the project. With no further business to come before the Board of Trustees, a Motion for adjournment was made by Trustee Donovan at 10:00 n. m. It was seconded by Trustee Langmaid and approved unanimously by the Board. • 0
