SPECIAL MEETING
NOVEMBER 28, 1978
A special meeting for the purpose of holding public hearings on the 1979 proposed
budget for the Town of Vail was convened at 7:40 pm, November 28, 1978, in the
Council Chambers of the Vail Municipal Building.
Present were Mayor Rodney Slifer and the following Councilmembers:
Paula Palmateer
John Donovan
Tom Steinberg
Scott Hopman
Bob Ruder
Bill Wilto
Also present were Town Manager Terrell J. Minger and Finance Director Stan Bernstein.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Slifer. The first matter on the agenda was
a presentation and discussion with Cohen Construction regarding the construction
schedule of Dobson Arena. Mr. Art Everitt representing the architects and Mr. Roger
Ferrin representing Cohen Construction were present to meet with the Council. Mr.
Perrin stated the reasons for the delays in completion of the Arena by the stated
deadline of December 15th. There was a general discussion regarding each of the
items causing , or potentially causing the delays, between Mr. Perrin and the Council.
After examination of the alternatives, Council, Mr. Everitt and Mr. Ferrin agreed
to cease construction on the Arena during the period between December 24th and January
2nd, 1979, to allow use of the ice during that time. Construction would then resume
during the days working toward completion. Mr. Everitt and Mr. Ferrin will report to
Council at the December 5, 1978 Council meeting with a revised completion date for
the arena.
The next item on the agenda was a public hearing regarding the proposed 1979 Budget
and Financial Plan for the Town of Vail. Mayor Slifer expressed dissappointment at
the fact that there had been no public response to the meeting in terms of attendance.
The decision was made to continue with the meeting as a "work -session" for Council
to examine budgets of departments, as they had done in the afternoon worksession that
same day. In the process of examination of departmental budgets, the Council asked
for the following reports for study: 1) a report from staff regarding possible re-
vision of licensing fees for dogs. 2) a report from staff regarding comparison of
costs for trash pick-up (Town of Vail vs Eagle County Trash). 3) a report from staff
regarding recreation programs which currently run a deficit budget. Council would like
to see them break even.
