The Board first considered the voucher lists for April and May, 1972. Trustee
Donovan noted that the salaries of the Trustees and Mayor had been increased.
Trustee Bailey moved these voucher lists be approved; Trustee White seconded;
the approval was unanimous.
The Board convened as the Local Liquor _Licensing Authority at 7:45 p.m. The
first item on the agenda was the annual renewal of the 3.2 liquor license For
A & D Enterprises. Mr. Robinson explained that 3.2 licenses are renewed from
the initial anniversary date of issuance rather than at the end of the year. He
also reported that all the necessary forms had been submitted. Trustee Donovan
moved that the license for A & D Enterprises be renewed; Trustee Kindel
seconded; approval was unanimous.
The transfer of a 3-way license from LaCave to Pistachio's was next on the
agenda. The license for the former is held by Cramerus, Inc. and willbe
transferred to Julia Kaemmer. The supporting evidence for the transfer can
be found in the documents relating to the issuance of a former license to Mrs.
Kaemmer. This matter is closely related.to the third 'item on the agenda; the:
transfer of stock in Casino Vail. One hundred percent of the stock in the business
is being transferred to Gary Kaemmer from Mrs. Kaemmer and Steve Ruder.
Mr. Robinson explained that section 17 (CX2) of the state liquor code related to
transfer of stock. The proper forms have been filed and Marvin Eller of the
State Department of Revenue has indicated that their agency has up to ten days to
approve a transfer of stock. It was recommended by Mr. Robinson that the
transfer of license to Julia Kaemmer be approved subject to the approval of the
transfer of stock in Casino Vail. Trustee Donovan moved the transfer of license
be approved subject to the state ruling; Trustee Bailey seconded; approval was
unanimous. In regard to acting on the stock transfer, this is basically a state
matter. However, the Board could express approval or, disapproval. Mr.
Robinson recommended approval. Trustee Donovan moved that the Board's
approval of the stock transfer from Julia Kaemmer to James Gary Kaemmer be
expressed; Trustee White seconded; agreement was unanimous. The Local
Liquor Licensing Authority adjourned at 7:55 p. M.
The meeting convened as the Board of Trustees at 7:55 p.m. Mr. Minger explained
that Charlie Penwill, Recreation Director, was attempting to arrange for the. use
of the pool at the Ptarmigan Townhouses by the recreation program.. Maria Minick,
who conducted the Red Cross program last year, would be the instructor. Trustee
Donovan asked about liability insurance if an accident occurred in transporting
participants to and from the pool. Mr. Robinson responded that the Town has a
liability policy covering employees. In any case, the program is designed so that
participants meet at the pool. Miss Hobart emphasized that there is, a town policy
N
which covers any vehicle being used on town business. Trustee White moved
they authorize the agreement for the use of the pool; Trustee Donovan seconded;
approval was unanimous.
Mr. Minger distributed copies of several letters regarding the proposed parking
structure: a letter from the highway department stating that they had no objections
to the encroachment on their right .-of-way; a suggestion that savings could be made
on materials if they were produced in advance in the winter off-season; a letter
from Mr. Ream to one Mrs. Ritchie who had voiced some concern in the Vail
Trail regarding the structure; a memorandum on a conference.with Contihental
Trailways regarding their requirements within the proposed structure. A letter
had also been received from Charles Gersbach regarding the sale or lease pos-
sibilities on the Antholz property, and quoting the cost of various alternatives
(see attached). Trustee Donovan inquired regarding the acre owned by Mr.
Miller adjacent to the Anthoiz property. Mr. Minger indicated that Mr. Gersbach
had approached Mr. Miller and was informed that he is going to develop this
property himself and the chances of his desiring to seU. the acre to the town were
slight. Now that the dollar figures have been received on the Anthoiz property,
the Board• can have more specific work sessions regarding alternative plans to
solve the parking problem.
Mr. Minger acknowledged that he had received a letter from Roger Brown, repre-
senting the Vail Homeowners Association, delineating several suggestions and
complaints. The matter of a different color for the Booth Creek water tank has
already been taken care of; it will be similar to the color of the telephone building:
In addition, a $7,000 landscaping and replanting project has been undertaken at
the site which has met with the approval of Ed Browning of the Forest Service.
In regard to the undergrounding of the electrical wires, it will be a Board deci-
sion as to how to proceed. Mr. Minger noted that some amendments should be
made to the zoning ordinance; however, as the Chairman has resigned, perhaps
the question of the new members should be settled before undertaking the changes.
The road widening Mr. Brown refers to has been done only in c.l?itical areas and
is now completed. The possibility of snow removal he suggests has been studied;
however, it would increase costs five times. Trustee White suggested that the
Homeowner's Association be asked to provide off-street parking. Mr. Minger
noted that in certain places this type of parking is impossible; also, many indivi=
duals have requested that the road in front .of their residence be widened. A
meeting with the Association was suggested; in this way, doubts about the preva-
lence of the attitudes expressed by Mr. Brown could be tested. Trustee Langmaid
requested that the dead trees on Beaver Dam Road be removed. Mr. Minger
indicated that such a program is being undertaken.
As there was no further business, Trustee Bailey moved the meeting adjourn;
Trustee White seconded; passage was unanimous. The meeting adjourned at
8:15 p.m.
