REGULAR MEETING
BOARD OFTRUSTEES
SEPTEMBER 7, 1971
A regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Town of Vail was held
pursuant to call and notice at the hour of 7:30 p, m., September 7, 1971.
The meeting was held in the Vail Elementary School, and the following
trustees were present:
Mayor John Dobson Richard Bailey
Gerry White
Tod Anderson
John Donovan
Dr. Thomas Steinberg
Also present at this meeting were:
Terry Minger, Town Manager
Larry Robinson, Town Attorney
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Dobson.
Charley Langmaid presented his parking variance, and it was tabled,
The gate restricting vehicles from entering Gore Creek Drive in the Town
was discussed. Mr. Minger said that, according to a survey taken by the
Police Department, 85 percent of those questioned indicated their desire
to keep the gate. The girls who operate the gate will continue to work there
also. Charley Crowley, A & D Enterprises, (Liquor Store at Vail) com-
plained that he was losing a considerable amount of business by not letting
people with cars through the gate. He noted that the two other package
liquor stores have no access problem and are consequently taking away a
lot of his business.
George Knox supported the idea of the gate 100 percent. He felt that the
girls there to explain are an enormous asset. He also suggested that shop-
keepers provide a service whereby large packages etc. could be delivered
to the customer's car.
When asked iifhe Town wanted to keep the gate, everyone of the Trustees
replied in the affirmative. A meeting between Charley Crowley and some of
the Trustees will be held in the near future. No one else was present at the
meeting to oppose the gate; however, Michael D i Miceli, the Police Chief,
noted that the Left Bank Restaurant was suffering an economic hardship be-
cause of it.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
