The first order of business was Ordinance No. 6, Series of 1988, first reading,

recommended approval with conditions. Larry Lichliter, Executive Vice President of
Vail Associates, Inc., gave background information on the issue, noted the building
may or may not be built and explained that Vail Associates also had other
priorities. He stated he did not agree with Vail Associates being required to pay
50% of the cost of the construction of the sidewalk. Nancy Nottingham,
Administrative Manager of Children's Programs at Vail Associates, explained what
programs are presently available and areas the new building would address which the
old building could not accommodate. Jack Hunn, Project Manager for Vail Associates
on this project, discussed how Vail Associates came upon this site. He then
reviewed the site plans and explained how each area of the building would be used.
He then answered questions of Council. A woman representing Jack Rush of Manor Vail
stated they were in favor of the Children's Center, but wanted a guarantee there
would be no other new buildings. Larry Eskwith and Mayor Rose responded. Chuck
Crist had a question regarding the view from Manor Vail. Mike Cacioppo stated he
was pleased Vail Associates was doing this, but had some concerns. John Slevin
responded that checks and balances were already in place. After more discussion by
•Council, Mery Lapin made a motion to approve the ordinance with the following
conditions: 1) Vail Associates contribute 50% of the cost of construction of a
walkway from the Ramshorn walkway to the Manor Vail walkway (to be reimbursed to the
Town at the commencement of Phase II construction); and 2) Vail Associates amend and
construct the skier drop-off and bus stop area, provide roughed -in conduit for the
installation of control gates at each end of the bus stop, reimburse the Town up to
$10,000 (at the commencement of Phase II construction) if the Town of Vail wishes to
install control gates otherwise provide the $10,000 for the bus control gates at
commencement of Phase II construction. Eric Affeldt seconded the motion. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0.
The next item was a Bravo! Colorado presentation. Brad Quayle gave background
information on how Bravo! Colorado came about and what it would do. He explained he
was asking for seed money to put the organization together. He requested a donation
of $56,625 from the Town; $34,000 which had already been budgeted for street
entertainment, plus an added $22,625. Brad then answered questions from Council.
Mayor Rose noted Ron Phillips' recommendation was to stick to the budget of $34,000.
After some discussion by Council, Mike Cacioppo stated his objections to spending
more than what was budgeted. Brad answered more questions and Council held more
discussion on the issue. Eric Affeldt then made a motion to approve the request for
the full $56,625 for one year only; that the funds would be taken from the business
license fees, if the vote passes this next week, and if it does not pass, the funds
• would be taken from the Town of Vail contingency fund. Gordon Pierce seconded. A
vote was taken and the motion passed 4-2, with Mayor Rose and Mery Lapin opposing.
