Kent Rose seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
• The seventh item was Resolution No. 30, designating Empire Savings as a depository
for Town of Vail funds. Charlie Wick explained this was the same resolution in
context as the one approved earlier for making the Avon National Bank a depository.

this. There was no discussion by the public or Council. Kent Rose made a motion to
approve the resolution, which John Slevin seconded. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 6-0.
The next item for discussion was Resolution No. 31, agreeing to undertake
maintenance of the roads dedicated to the public at the Gold Peak Ski Base and

resolution and the reasoning for the resolution. He said he did not know the date
of the agreement between Vail Associates and the Town, but would fill it in the next
day. There was no discussion by the public or Council. A motion to approve the
resolution was made by Gordon Pierce and seconded by Kent Rose. A vote was taken
and the motion passed unanimously 6-0.
It was noted that the next item on the agenda was an error. Items 8 and 9 were one
and the same.
There was no Citizen Participation.
The Town Manager's Report was next. Ron Phillips noted the bus ridership in
November was up 10% overall and that the parking structures showed a dramatic
increase in that both structures were filled Friday and Saturday over Thanksgiving
weekend. He stated the real estate transfer tax for November was $87,000 and the
budget figure was $60,000. Also, the transfer tax year-to-date through November was
$369,000 over budget projections.
Mayor Johnston stated there had been an Executive Session on land acquisition
negotiations that afternoon at Work Session, and it had not been completed. He
requested the Council to continue it at this time.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
