any and all damages to or consumption of an assisting parties' equipment from the time the assisting party arrives

Af enda item number five was a report from the Town Manager.
Mayor Bob Armour inquired about the Rock Hard Mining Company of Texas, and their plans to explore the possibility
of mining claims on forest service property. Tom Moorhead explained that any mining claims granted would be
administered by the USFS, and stated the company could be required to produce environmental reports. Further,
he said that although the property was adjacent to Town of Vail lands, it was not within the Town's boundaries, and
th*rrently there is no indication town -owned property would be used to access the forest service lands. One
c ) rn, was that the area could be located within the 5 mile water shed, in which case, the Town of Vail could
require there be no activity that would be detrimental to the Town's water supply (Gore Creek). Tom said that
meetings had occurred between the Forest Service and the town's Environmental Health Officer, Russell Forrest,
and that the Town will be advised of all plans regarding the mining claim. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said a letter
would be drafted for the mayor's signature addressing the town's concerns.
There being no further business, Kevin Foley moved for adjournment, and the motion was seconded by Rob Ford.
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:15 p.m.
Respectful submitted,
Ro ert W. Armour, Mayor
