call the Vail Daily and the Vail Trail on Thursday afternoons and give them a
tentative agenda to print in the Friday or Saturday papers. Ron stated that they
would, but he feared the public would not understand that they were tentative
agendas, and not in final form.
Under the Town Manager's report, Ron Phillips stated that Matt Lindvall, a Police
Detective, was the Employee of the Month for August.
