MINUTES OF TB E MEETING
HELD APRIL 17, 1968
The Meeting was called to order by Chairman Joseph Langmaid at
7:40 p.m. on April 17, 1968, in the Vail Clinic Building, second
floor.
ROLL CALL found the following members present:
Trustee Joseph Langmaid
Trustee John Donovan
Trustee C. E. Kindel
Trustee T. Steinberg
Trustee Richard Bailey
Absent: Mayor John Dobson
Trustee Peter Seibert
Also present were Rev. Livingston and Virginia Crowley.
I. A. Convene as Vail General Improvement District to consider
Resolution issuing remaining $45, 000.00 in bonds for
paving purposes.
Blake Lynch reported on the program as follows:
1. Cost of materials would be $30, 000.00 for
five miles. Grading, fill and manhole costs
all an extra $10, 000.00. Any amount remaining
left over could be used for street improvements,
etc. There is about a $5, 000.00 contingency.
We are getting all this at a very reduced cost.
2. Forest and Beaver Dam Roads will be paved
their full width. Private pavers in Vail at
that time will be encouraged to also participate
in street improvements on these two roads in
working on them around private areas:
3. Trustee Bailey asked if there would be any
more work on drainage before paving. Blake
Lynch said the entire situation would be
re-evaluated before beginning. The crown on
the roads should help the drainage problem.
4. The bonds must be reviewed before we can
really decide what can be paved.
5. Blake Lynch pointed out that the worst
situation now exists on Gore Creek Drive.
There are other places in poor condition
also, but this is the worst. He felt that
because the Town was getting this paving
service at such a reasonable cost, we should
go ahead with our major paving plans now.

6. Trustee Donovan asked what qualifications
the Eagle,County contractors assigned the
job have. They did the airport and streets
of Eagle and it was agreed they were quite
capable.
7. The reason Gore Creek Road didn't hold up
was mainly because the drainage was very
poor. Trustee Donovan suggested we get
the original construction group who did the
roads to at least fill in the holes at their
expense.
B. Debt Service Schedule - 2 Mill Levy
In the near future, we can maintain at 2.0 levy. If we carry
forward about $2, 000. 00, we should balance it off. This was
• approved.
1. Blake Lynch brought up the matter of bid
requirement on the sale of the bonds. We
need to set a date to open at 2:00 o'clock.
It was voted that Monday, June 3, 1968, at
2:00 o'clock, would be the date and time set,
and the bid would be awarded that night. The
bonds will be callable at 10 years. First
National Bank of Denver will be the paying
agent.
2. Special session at the school.
Blake Lynch read the Resolution authorizing
the sale of $45, 000.00 in bonds. The Notice
of Bid will be published on May 2 and 9.
Trustee Kindel moved that the Resolution be
adopted and Trustee Donovan seconded it.
It was passed and approved. Money will be
needed about June 3. We will get the bond
money about July 1. In the interim, the Bank
will loan us money on a short-term basis if
we pass a resolution agreeing to sell the
bonds at less than six percent.

II. Re -convened as Board of Trustees Meeting
1. Consideration of appropriating $1, 000.00 for landscaping.
a. Blake Lynch suggested landscaping the
island at the entrance of Vail, the Mill
• Creek banks, Willow Road, etc. Vail
Associates owns a lot of this land but we
did it last year and Blake Lynch felt that
we should follow the same policy this year.
All this landscaping would begin about the
middle of May.
b. Blake Lynch wanted to have authority to go
ahead then and stated he would consult with
the Mayor at the time but wanted permission
to go ahead with the work in May. These are
not the exact locations but are suggestions
for now. Money to be used would be about
$1, 000.00. Town and tract property will
be landscaped under this suggestion.
Trustee Donovan moved that we approve this
Motion and. it was seconded by Trustee Bailey
and. passed.
2. Consideration of street lighting program.
a. The Administration presented a proposal
to install 50 street lights in accordance
with the memorandum submitted, with the
exception that Holy Cross Electric Association
would purchase the lights and we would lease
them. Blake Lynch would like to have this
work done between May 15 and June 15.
b. The question was raised as to where we
should put these lights. Blake Lynch passed
around a memorandum proposing the lighting
for the Town and showed a map indicating
suggested locations. Trustee Steinberg asked
about other than steel lamps, but it was
• decided the steel would be the most practical
and economical. Some would be put in the
residential areas, and others in Town. Blake
Lynch will go ahead and and order the 50
lights through Holy Cross Electric Association.
