After lengthy discussion with participation from the

Trustees be limited to $30. 00 per month and $50. 00 per month for the
Mayor when the Town Budget will allow it.
The Trustees were polled for understanding and approv-
al. It was with unanimous approval that the Town Attorney was directed
to draft an Ordinance to this effect. A Special Meeting of the Board of
Trustees was set for Wednesday, March 27th at 3:30 p.m.
3. Report by the Public Works Director J. Mitchell Hoyt
on the purchase of a Loader- Back -hoe.
Mr. Hoyt reported that the Austin Western Grader
was sold and that the new Backhoe would be delivered the first of May,
1968.
4. Report by Rodney Slifer, Chairman of the Vail Metro-
politan Recreation District,
Mr. Slifer gave a brief recap of the issue to be decided
by the citizens concerning the issuance of bonds for the second nine holes
of the golf course. He also noted that at the end of 49 years the land would
revert to Vail Associates and the Pulis Interests. The Board of Directors
have requested that the Lessors refund the Recreation District for the
improvements at a straight line depreciation rate.
Mr. Slifer also discussed the question of a waiver for
the first three years payment. The obvious problem is that the first
three years we do not have any revenue generated from that investment
of $185, 000. 00

The Board of Directors agreed unanimously not to
issue these bonds until everything was in order.
Mr. Seibert indicated that Vail Associates would work
with the Vail Metropolitan Recreation District. He noted that at this time
there was a tentative agreement already approved.
5. Mayor and Trustees
Mayor Kindel stated that anyone in the village who had
questions, suggestions, and constructive criticisms should bring them to
the attention of the Board.
A discussion was held regarding the condition of the
• roads in Vail. Mayor Kindel pointed out that the roads are in a state of
emergency and something should be done even though procedures may be
expensive, and that the VAIL TRAIL should have a resume and analysis
of the road project.
Trustee Seibert brought to the attention of the Board
that there were hazardous conditions on Vail Road at the time the children
are going to school and suggested that a Police Officer should be on duty
there. If this were not possible there should be signs placed in the middle
of the road to prevent speeding.
Trustee Seibert also brought to the attention of the
Board that Vail is no longer a pedestrian village with the amount of traffic
through the core area, and that there should be consideration of a bridge
over Gore Creek.
There was a report to the Board that at the last VRA
Meeting, a suggestion was made that additional lighting be considered as
an improvement for the Vail image. Mayor Kindel noted that a decision
would be made within the Town Administration on where the lights go.
With no further business to come before the Board, Trustee Donovan made
a Motion to adjourn the Meeting at 8:25 p.m. It was seconded by Trustee
Burdick and approved unanimously by the Board.
