The meeting began with a presentation by Mr. Davis and Mr. Neff of
their initial findings and recommendations on the parking structure.
Basically, their report advised the possibility of a "staged" .plan
whereby parking areas located in different areas of the Town be con-
structed over a 5-year period. Moreover, they recommended that
the parking structure itself be built over a period of time with the
initial capacity being somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 cars,
with capability of expansion to 1,200.
James Ream gave a slide presentation of some of his previous designs
and works. He followed this with a'presentation of some preliminary
designs for Vail's parking structure.
A discussion followed concerning the time dement necessary for having
the structure completed by Thanksgiving. It was agreed that planning
must begin now in order to complete the job. Mr. Ream pointed out that
they would need some type of temporary monetary commitment as Mr.
Roti's work would all be done in these initial stages and the money would
pay for all his input. Mayor Dobson made a motion that the Board
authorize $15,000.00 payment to initiate this planning but this would be,
discontinued if the newly elected Board so desired. The motion was
seconded and unanimously passed.
As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
