What follows will reflect motions and actions taken by the Vail Town Council at their regular

I. Item No. 4, Contribution Request/Request for Special Event Funding/Discussion of
Business License Fee. Following presentations from the Vail Valley Merchants
Association, the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau, and several speakers from
the audience, the following motion was made by Sybill Navas with a second from Rob
Ford.
1. $10,000 taken from 1998 Council Contribution Funding should be approved to
support the Vail Village/Lionshead Shopping Guide.
2. In regard to Special Events: $45,000 from the General Fund to fund the AVP Pro
• Tour and the Triple Crown Sports 3 on 3 Soccer Shoot-out in 1998 should be
approve, thus leaving $60,000 in the Special Events Commission "Seed Funds"
for 1998, with the condition that the events are held at an appropriate time in
1998.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1 with Paul Johnston in opposition.
2. Item No. 7, Council Reports. Sybill Navas, acting on a request from Sue Rychel (and on
behalf of the Vail Board of Realtors) to ask to review the sign regulations in regard to
open house and garage sale signs more latitude in general signing. Following discussion,
Mike Jewett moved to pursue study of these two sign areas, with a second coming from
Sybill Navas. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1, with Bob Armour in
opposition to that motion. Tom Moorhead and Bob McLaurin indicated it would be
appropriate to hold this review until the new Council has an opportunity to review the
work prioritization for Community Development, which will occur in December of 1997.
3. Item No. 8, Other. Tom Moorhead requested permission to proceed through the process
to house horses as a conditional use permit at one of the following sites: the old town
shops, the public works facility, or the 16th tee on the Vail Golf Course where there is
• already a coral and stables established. This is in response to an existing contract with
our sleighride provider, and which is provided for in that contract. Paul Johnston made a
motion to approve, with a second coming from Kevin Foley. A vote was taken and the
motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
