Chuck Crist asked if the institutions were in Texas, which Steve Thompson replied some were, but not all. Steve explained there was $98,000 in each institution and gave the reasoning for all the accounts. Steve then commented on how he arrived at using these particular institutions. After much more discussion regarding plans and the way the procedures worked, Gordon Pierce made a motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. John Slevin seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. * nder Citizen Participation, Chuck Crist commented on the negative publicity the Town had received concerning Ride the Rockies bicycle tour and questioned if there were any plans for next year to counteract this bad publicity. Mayor Rose stated it was sad that Vail was victimized by bad circumstances and that last week there had been a meeting called to critique the entire tour. He said they will be writing the participants of the race with a reply and special offers. He then mentioned for the first five years of the Ride the Rockies Tour the routes would be rotated, so there were no plans to counteract the publicity at this time, but he hoped later we would try to get on the established route. Under the Town Manager's Report, Ron Phillips stated that bus ridership for June was up ten percent overall and gave route statistics. He commented that in the future he would like to eliminate the Town Manager's Report since he usually gives Council an update at the afternoon Work Sessions. Mayor Rose stated he had received a memorandum from Gordon Pierce explaining that for personal and business reasons, Gordon would resign from Town Council effective September 30, 1988. Mayor Rose noted this was sad news, appreciated the time Gordon had served on the Council and wished Gordon the best. Gordon commented he would contribute his time as best he could until the end of September. There was some discussion regarding setting a special election date. At this time, Gail Wahrlich- •Lowenthal stated she felt Gordon was "true blue" and hoped he would come back to meetings after he was a "free man" to give them his ideas on issues. At this time, Mery Lapin made a motion to approve September 13, 1988 as the date for a special election to elect a replacement for the remainder of Gordon's term. Gail Wahrlich- Lowenthal seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously 7-0. At this time, Chuck Crist stated the comments he had received concerning July 4th weekend were all extremely positive.
