The third item on the agenda was the first reading of the Model Traffic Code Ordinance No. 11,
Series 2000. In 1978 the Town of Vail adopted the Model Traffic Code, 1977 edition for the
regulation of traffic within the Town of Vail. That Model Traffic Code was revised by the Colorado
Department of Transportation in 1995. The Model Traffic Code intends to promote uniformity
between the state's traffic laws and municipal traffic codes. The model traffic code establishes
speed limits for both residential and commercial streets and roads. The model traffic code
establishes speed limits of 25 mph in any business district and 30 mph in any residence district.
In order to change the Town's speed limits from what the code establishes, it has been necessary
to do site specific speed studies. The Town of Vail has conducted these studies and the results
are reflected in Exhibit A, which is attached to the ordinance. Exhibit A recommends specific speed
limits in our residential and business area. Slifer moved to approve the first reading of Ordinance
No. 11, Series 2000. Ogilby seconded. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The fourth item on the agenda was the first reading of Ordinance No. 10, Series 2000 - Vacating
an Easement, located at Lot 39-1, Glen Lyons Subdivision. Lot 39-1, Glen Lyon Subdivision, is
presently subjected to an access and utility easement 20 feet wide across the north portion of the
. lot. This easement has been replaced by the creation of a new easement along the driveway line

Vista Bahn and Chair 1 was deannexed from the Town of Vail and is now located in Eagle County.
The land is owned by the United States Forest Service and subject to Vail Resorts permitted uses.
This area has been utilized for special events, which include the sale of alcohol. There are two
upcoming events on the calendar which will involve the modification of the Lodge at Vail Licensed
premise on to the County land which is adjacent to and contiguous with the Lodge at Vail.
This Intergovernmental Agreement, in addition to allowing the Town to administer the liquor and
beer codes, provides that the Town of Vail Police Department will provide primary law enforcement
