. MINUTES OF THE MEETING
VAIL BOARD OF TRUSTEES
AUGUST 8, 1969
The Meeting of the Vail Board of Trustees was called to
Order by Mayor John Dobson at 12:15 p. m. in the main
floor Conference Room at the Holiday Inn on Friday,
August 8.
ROLL CALL: Roll Call found the following Members present:
Mayor Dobson
Trustee Langmaid
Trustee Kaemmer
Trustee Steinberg
Trustee Kindel
Trustee Bailey
Trustee Donovan
Others present: Messrs. Lynch, Minger,
and Robinson.
Mayor Dobson opened the meeting with the specific topic of
discussion at this special Meeting --the matter of substandard
services the Trustees feel we have been receiving from Holy
Cross Electric Association.
Blake Lynch introduced Mr. C. H. Hoper of Hoper and
Associates, a consulting engineering firm which specializes
in utility evaluation. Mr. Hoper proposed an approximate
set fee of $3, 500 for his services, based on time and cost.
He stated that he could begin the Preliminary Study imme-
diately but that --due to prior commitments --he could not
make the report available until after November 30, or perhaps
the first of the year.
Subsequent to Mr. Hoper's self -introduction, Attorney Robin-
son was queried about the legality of conducting such a study.
He stated that there was nothing which would preclude our
making this study as far as our relationship with Holy Cross
Electric Association is concerned. Other aspects of the con-
sequences of such a study were discussed by members present.
Robinson reported we could not condemn Holy Cross Electric
if we wanted to --since as an REA, the Federal Government
has a mortgage on the company's assets. It would take an
Act of Congress to have this condemnation approved.
It was suggested that further personal references be sub-
mitted by Mr. Hoper for further consideration by the Board
of Trustees, and that he submit a proposal in writing.
With no further business to come before the Board, Mayor
Dobson adjourned the meeting at 3:55 p. m.
