present:

Also present were:
Terrell J. Minger, Town Manager
Gene A. Smith, Town Attorney
Mr. Minger announced the first recipient of the newly -initiated
Town of Vail Employee of the Month award. He explained that
this award was created for the purpose of thanking employees
whose work had been outstanding during the previous month.
He then named Peter Burnett as the employee of the month for
December, 1973. He noted that Pete and his crew had done a
fine job of handling a 30" snowfall and keeping the, roads
movable, had worked with the FBI in setting up and maintaining
the vice President's communications system; during a gas outage
in the town Pete had been the one to find an alternate gas
supply; and that he had suggested the new location for the
town bus terminal and gas & electric supply. Mr. Burnett
praised the work of his crew and said that without their help
he couldn't have done his work.
Mr. Eldon Beck was present to discuss the new design of the
parking terminal structure and illustrate locations of various
buildings and the need to change the terminal location for
economy and design purposes. Capacity of the structure will
be 1,035. He noted that the 'wooden truss structure' would
carry through the design of the existing covered bridge so
that there would be a constancy of style, form and materials.
His company has recommended the use of brick plazas to follow
the present use of brick throughout the town. From nearly all
directions the automobile will not be visible. He emphasized
that the present design, materials and structure meet the
budget and desires of the town.
A member of the audience questioned the possible hazard on the
stairs in the winter. Mr. Beck replied that there will be a
main traffic area leading from the 4th to the main level. This
traffic path would be heated. In response to another question,
he commented that the restaurant facility would merely be a
convenience to the public, those passing through the terminal.
Mayor Dobson commented on the number of changes that have taken
place since the inception of the idea so that the plaza area
and the overall design has become an exciting area and remains
within the budget.
