Mayor Rose read the full title of each of the ordinances. Charlie Wick explained
the resolutions were usually a requirement of the bank or savings and loan
authorizing large deposits; this was a pretty normal practice the Town had done the
past several years. 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.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
