Mayor John Dobson and the following Trustees were present: John Donovan C.E. Ted Kindel Joseph Langmaid Josef Staufer Gerry White Also present were: Terrell Minger, Town Manager Lawrence Robinson, Town Attorney The Board first convened as the Local Liquor. Licensing Authority. The Gore Valley Restaurant Associates, Inc. , purchaser, of the Blue Cow, was requesting the transfer of the present license from the Avanti Corp. to their organization. Mr. McLaughlin, their attorney, presented letters of recommendation for each of the officers of this corporation; he saw the issue as one of character, given that the premises are already licensed. Mr. Robinson noted that they had complied with the other requirements of licensing. i-1e asked if any citizens had come to protest; there were none. Trustee Donovan asked if the restaurant would have access other than through the main parking lot. Mr. McLaughlin indicated they would have access through Vail Associates' property on the side of the lot. Healso stated that Mrs. Staufer and Mrs. Langegger had resigned from the positions they held in connection with the Lord Gore Restaurant. After reading through the documents submitted, all members indicated they had no further questions. Trustee Donovan moved they approve the transfer of license; Trustee Langmaid seconded; approval was unanimous. The Local Liquor Licensing Authority was adjourned at 7:50 p. m, The meeting was re -convened as the Board of Trustees at 7:50 p. m. The first item of business was the consideration of the' minutes of the. March 13, March 20, and March 21 meetings. Trustee Donovan moved these be approved; Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous.. A RESOLUTION APPOINTING OFFICIALS FOR THE ADMINISTRATIGN OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE TOWN OF. VAIL was next submitted to the Board. Terrell J. Minger was named Clerk, Recorder, and Treasurer; Roland Gerard, Municipal Judge; Lawrence B. Robinson, Town Attorney; Stanley F. Bernstein, Finance Director and Director of'Administrative Ser- vices; Michael DiMiceli, Marshall; and Linda R. Hall, Deputy Clerk. The only change was Mr. Gerard as Judge. He had been approached to perform this duty due to the fact that conducting court on Saturday, the only day Judge Brofos could be present, created many time conflicts; it was also felt that having a person from outside the community has many advantages; and, also, there is a possibility of having some of the county court proceedings here as Judge Gerard is also a County Judge. Judge Gerard will receive a salary of $175.00 per month; the salary in the past has been $100.00 per month. His clerk from the County Court will maintain the records and col- lect fines and fees. As there 'were no further questions., Trustee White 4- moved they approve the resolution; Trustee Staufer seconded; approval was unanimous. The Eagle County School District Re" 50J had sent a Ietter_ requesting the renewal of their lease for facilities in the Municipal Building. They indicated they would have their own facilities completed by the Fall of 1973. Trustee White asked what alternatives were open" for housing these students. Trustee Kindel indicated that these were: 1. to move the Minturn fifth and sixth grades to Redcliff and the Vail students to Minturn, an alternative with obvious disadvantages; 2. to convert the loft of the in -bed facility at the Vail Clinic; the disadvantage being that the cost would be in the neighborhood of $15,000 to $20,000. Trustee Kindel stated fur- ther that he did think that the school, district should pay. more for the use of the Municipal Building. Mr. Minger agreed that the rent should at least pay for the wear and tear on the building. Trustee Kindel moved that the lease be effected for the 1972-73 school year, at a rental of $200 per month and, further, that the request be made for more coordination between the teachers and the Town Manager. Trustee .Donovan seconded; passage was unanimous. As a point of information, Mr. Robinson noted that the decision to re -zone the property on which the Bank of Vail has proposed to build to MF will require a public hearing. As the nextmeeting of the Board of Trustees will be on May 16, a considerable length of time will lapse before this hearing requirement can be met. He proposed that, subject to any objec- , tion raised at the hearing, the Board give the Bank tentative acknowledge- ment of the decision. Mayor Dobson stated that he did not anticipate that any problems would arise but, of course, there could be no commitment . . until the hearing has taken place. The Board thus agreed to give tentative acknowledgement of the decision. A request had been received to become an honorary citizen of Vail from Col. Erwin Koch. Trustee Donovan moved that his request be granted; Trustee Staufer seconded; passage was unanimous. Mr. Minger reported that the Public Service Company and Mountain Bell are willing to do the house, numbering of Vail .for us. Mouhtaln Bell has volunteered to provide and install the numbers at their expense. The system has been designed to cover the entire valley.. T..rust e.e Pbnov;gn inquired if an individual could install his. own number; Mr. Minger stated this could be done as long as it met certain standards of visibility. The number could be either on the house or on a stake in front of the property; the .decision would be reached in con- junction with the owner involved. Afurther point of information was that the owner can choose not to have his street number listed in the directory; Moun- tain Bell has indicated that they will honor the owners` wishes in this matter. Trustee Kindel moved that the Board approve the installation of numbers with the location and type to be subject to approval by Mr. Minger, the Police Chief and the Fire Chief. Trustee White seconded; approval was unanimous. Trustee Staufer brought up the subject of the VRA Information Center; specifi- cally, the VRA would like to request that the Town consider staffing the Center. Mayor Dobson suggested that, as the need is not pressing, a meeting between the VRA and the Board be held around the first of June. Mr. Minger indicated he would like to draw up a proposal to be considered at the next meeting. Mr. Ogilby of Trout Unlimited requested that his group be given $300 of the $500 budgeted for them in order that they may sponsor tree planting in the valley on April 30. Mayor Dobson indicated he would advise the Town Manager to issue a check for this amount. Mr. Ogilby next stated that he was upset by the fact that"a Town vehicle had been in the stream in the tract land near the Vorlaufer. Mr. Minger said he found it justified because; 1. the stream damage was minimal; 2. the action was necessary to fortify the bridge, and keep it from reaching a dangerous state due to erosion. Mr. Ogilby felt, however, that it was up to the Town to set an example. Mr. Minger disagreed; he felt that the Town does set a good example. Trustee White suggested there be an ordinance prohibiting taking a machine into the stream without a permit. Mayor Dobson requested that Mr. Minger discuss the matter with groups involved and draft an ordinance. Page 2 As there was no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8.40 p.m. Town Cierjk� lh •
