Landscape Architecture August 20, 1985 Town Council Town of Vail 75 South Frontage Road West Vail, Colorado 81657 Re: Ford Amphitheater Dear Council Members: Evidently, the Vail Town Council will be voting this evening on the lease of public land to the Vail Valley Foundation for the purpose of constructing the Ford Amphitheater. I would urge the Council to vote in disfavor of this lease for the following reasons: 1. There are fundamental questions as to the feasibility and/or desirablity of a seasonal vs. permanent facility. 2. The feasibility and/or desirablity of the site, particularly in the absense of any qualified site selection study which considered alternate locations. 3. Lease of public land with questionable fiscal responsibility. There are no guarantees that this project will not become the financial responsibility of the Town of Vail 245 Vallejo St. • San Francisco, California 94111 • (415) 433-2357 1000 So. Frontage Rd.
