40 ORDINANCE NO. 13, Series of 1977, making a supplemental appropriation from
the General Fund, was introduced on first reading. Mr. Minger explained
that the appropriation was to make a contribution of $2,000 to the Colorado
Rivers Council. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the ordinance on first
reading; Councilman Staufer seconded the motion; all present voted in favor;

RESOLUTION NO. 11, Series of 1977, regarding a lease agreement between the
Town of Vail and Ski Club Vail was introduced by Mr. Rider. He explained
that the lease was for the Town's use of the proposed Ski Club building
during the summer months. The Council asked that paragraph 10 of the
resolution be replaced by a paragraph to include an extension option at
a rental to be negotiated. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the
resolution subject to the change in paragraph 10; Councilman Wilto seconded
the motion; all present voted in favor; and the motion carried.
With regard to the Manor Vail's request for a street vacation in order to
pave and landscape its parking area, Mr. Rider stated that he had met with
Mr. Dick Elias of the Manor Vail since work session to work out some of the
Council's questions, and introduced RESOLUTION NO. 12, Series of 1977. He
i stated that Mr. Elias had a deadline of June 26 for his financial closing
on the planned improvements. The Council's major concern was over a 50 foot
sewer easement to be granted back to the Town by Manor Vail. Mr. Kent Rose,
Director of Public Works, stated that cost estimates were not yet in for the
proposed sewer line to Ford Park, and the Council was reluctant to commit to
having the line finished before the Manor Vail landscaping went in or to
spend taxpayers' dollars to replace the landscaping if the line could not
be installed until after the landscaping. After much discussion, Mr. Elias
stated that he would commit to covering up to $20,000 of the cost of
replacing any landscaping which might have to be torn out by installation
of the sewer line. Councilman Donovan then moved to approve Resolution No.
12 subject to the addition of a paragraph incorporating Mr. Elias' offer;
Councilman Staufer seconded the motion; all present voted in favor; and the
motion carried. The Town Attorney was directed to amend the resolution by
the addition of said paragraph.
With regard to a request from Y.O. Gurts for approval of a pushcart operation,
the Mayor explained that the pushcart operation would be from specific
locations, not on the public streets. Mr. Rider stated that the applicant
would have to obtain the appropriate business license and comply with State
and local health standards. He added that the Planning Commission had
unanimously recommended approval. Councilman Heimbach moved to approve the
request subject to said compliance by the applicant; Councilman Donovan
seconded the motion; all present voted in favor; and the motion carried.

With regard to Studio in the Rockies' request for approval of a joint
use parking agreement, Mr. Jim Jacobson explained that the agreement
would be to use Lionshead parking at night when the demand for parking
there was not so great. He stated that he proposed a small concert
studio with recording and video tape facilities. He added that he had
received the support of the Vail Institute for year-round concert programs.
Councilman Heimbach asked to include a provision for a parking attendant,
but the Mayor felt that it would be better to have the Police Department
patrol the lot, leaving the question of an attendant to the discretion of
the Chief of Police. Councilman Donovan moved to approve the request
subject to the Mayor's suggestion and with the understanding that the
agreement would be subject to a parking district if one is adopted in the
future; Councilman Heimbach seconded the motion; all present voted in favor;
and the motion carried.

pending further study of the project. Councilman Donovan moved to table the
request until the July 5 regular meeting; Councilman Staufer seconded the
motion; all present voted in favor; and the motion carried.

a garage at his residence, Ms. Diana Toughill explained that the request was

had recommended approval. Councilman Ruder moved to approve the request;
Councilman Wilto seconded the motion; all present voted in favor; and the
motion carried.
