The first order of business was a farewell to Rich Parzonko, Controller for the

item postponed until later during the meeting.
The next item was the approval of the minutes from the November 3 and 17, 1987
meetings. Gail Wahrlich-Lowenthal questioned page 2, last paragraph, line 9, and
asked that the tapes be listened to, that she did not remember saying what was noted
in the minutes. Since there was no other discussion on the minutes, Eric Affeldt
made a motion to approve the minutes as presented, including to check on the line as
requested by Gail. Gordon Pierce seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the
motion passed unanimously 7-0.

Von Dreele, James Gibson, Colleen McCarthy, Michael Sansbury, Janet Heidmiller-
Shipka, Beth Slifer, Jan Strauch, Michael Wasmer, Kenneth Wilson and William Downs.
Ron then stated it had been discussed at the Work Session that day that it might
be appropriate for seven to be chosen for the committee instead of five originally
thought. He said if Council members agreed, to vote for seven instead of five. The
Council voted in Tom Boselli, Mark Smith, Dan Telleen, James Gibson, Michael
Sansbury, Beth Slifer and Jan Strauch for the committee members. Mayor Rose
suggested the Council hold a Work Session on Tuesday, December 29, 1987 at 2:00 p.m.

about at the Work Session today.

agreement as presented, which John Slevin seconded. A vote was taken and the motion
passed unanimously 7-0.
Under Citizen Participation, Jim Lamont spoke about Homestake II. He explained
where it stands presently, and why he recommended the Town to review and make their
comments known to the Commissioners. He noted the Town had until January 12, 1988
at 5:00 p.m. to submit their comments, and recommended denial from all Eagle County
municipalities. He and Larry Eskwith then answered questions from Council. He
advised the Council to take all the findings of fact, evaluate and submit a
resolution for denial and submit by January 12. Ron noted the Council's decision
from earlier this year and explained the how they were planning to proceed. Larry
Eskwith commented on the legal aspects. Jim Lamont commented that the Town should
be prepared. Mayor Rose thanked Jim for updating the Council and stated that action
on this item was scheduled for the January 5, 1988 Evening Meeting.
Under the Town Manager's Report, Ron Phillips thanked the Vail Board of Realtors for
donating $440 to the Library, which would be used to purchase books on marketing and
financial planning. He also thanked them for cosponsoring the children's program at
the Library tomorrow. Ron then commented there had been an anonymous $2,500
contribution to the Library to be used for creative children's programs in 1988, At
this time, it was noted Rich Parzonko was still not present, and that Rich had only
wanted to thank the Council for all the opportunities offered him here. He had
