Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Andy Daly. Members present: Andy Daly, Mayor Kerry Donovan Kevin Foley Ludwig Kurz Greg Moffet Margaret Rogers Susie Tjossem Staff members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager The first item on the agenda was Citizen's Participation. Dave Kraft read a letter into the record regarding the taxi and limo issues in town and how that has affected his limo business. He feels the issues have severely impacted and financially hurt his business. Mayor Daly requested he send a copy of his letter to the town so it can be attached to the town agenda records. Rich ten Braak, representing the Vail Chamber and Business Association (VCBA), invited the Council and community to a VCBA event at the Holiday Inn on April 13 at 8:30 a.m. Paul Rondeau, Vail resident, said he wanted to discuss an item that was not on the agenda. He read into the record an article he had published in the Vail Daily that questioned the use of the municipal site for a medical office building. He requested Council consider other opportunities for the site. He wants more public input before the Council makes a final decision on the sale of this property. The second item on the agenda was the approval of the Consent Agenda. On the consent agenda was the approval of Resolution No. 16, Series of 2012, the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District (ERWSD) Matterhorn Circle Bridge Replacement Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). Moffet made a motion to approve Resolution No. 16, Series of 2012, an IGA for the ERWSD Matterhorn Circle Bridge Replacement. The motion was seconded by Kurz. Foley asked what the time lines and schedule were for the replacement. Greg Hall, Public Works Director, said the project would begin possibly in July or August. He said staff will come back to Council once this project was out for bid and it gets all federal approvals. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The third item on the agenda was the Town Manager Report. There were three items under the town manager's report: Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 1 1) Emergency Evacuation discussion. Zemler stated Tjossem has asked for an update on the emergency evacuation plan for Vail due to current fires around the state. Henninger stated not all the news in the media is accurate. He said the people that died in the fire in Jefferson Council were told to leave and they didn't. He said Vail has a good evacuation plan in place. People still need to make good decisions on their own. Henninger said evacuations included hazardous materials, flooding issues and debris flow. The evacuation plan is more comprehensive than just for fires. He said there was a meeting on April 12 for all stakeholders to go over wild land fire issues and get everyone up to speed. There are more meetings scheduled for May 3 and 4. All community relations departments will work with the fire and police departments to educate the community on evacuation plans. He said there is a reverse 911 plan (EPN) which has been in place for the past 5 years. There is also an Eagle County alert system (EC Alert) which is a much better alert system to reach people by text. If people want to sign up to receive EC Alerts, they should go to ECAlert.org. There are also public service announcements that will be done, as well as possibly going door to door and also a hotline telephone number. A large part of the evacuation plan is moving people from the neighborhoods to the Vail Transportation Center (VTC) and then making decisions to move them to other places. Eighty percent (80%) of the community will be moving out of the area in their cars. Part of the plan is communicating whether to tell them to go east or west on 1-70. The police department can direct and move 2,000 vehicles onto the on -ramps per hour. They could move quite a few people out of town in a short period of time. Once people leave their homes, they need to put a piece of paper on their door with the porch light on to let emergency personnel know people have left the home. Domestic pets can be transported on buses in an emergency. The Eagle County Animal Shelter will also help with the evacuation. There are limited evacuation centers manned by town staff and a plan for folks who are up on the mountain. He said responsibilities are outlined in the evacuation manual. The manual and policy will be rewritten to include a safe zone called out and re-entry plans and moving the population back into the community. Additional discussion ensued. Henninger said the lodges and hotels have their own evacuation plans in place as well. Ron Braden, IT Director, said any number on the town's system can be programmed to broadcast any message they want. Henninger stated the county and the town's website will both be updated if an emergency occurs. Daly said the information needs to be reviewed and updated with current and accurate information. At this point, Daly informed the public there is a community survey out on the town website and encouraged the community to go online and fill it out. Zemler said another reminder is the Comcast April 17 deadline for people to get digital devices for basic service otherwise they will lose service. Tjossem asked about the number of devices each household can have. Braden said each household get up to three free devices and anything above that number they will have to pay. 2) Lionshead Welcome Center Community Space final discussion on rates. Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager, said Council had asked staff to come back with a more detailed rate plan. She reviewed the memorandum and rate schedule with Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 2 the Council. She said they plan on marketing this space within existing sites. If Council wants to market it differently, they would need extra funding. Rogers said it looks good. Daly asked for the contact information to be sent to Council so they can hand it out to folks who ask them for it. 3) Lionshead Welcome Center Community Space Naming discussion. Mayor Daly requested the staff form a committee to review the names submitted. The subcommittee should include two Council members and two staff members to review the names. The subcommittee will then come back to Council with the recommendation of the name. Tjossem said two community members should be on the subcommittee as well. Donovan and Foley agreed to be the Council committee members. Zemler will appoint two staff members and then those four people will select two community members. He stated a few additional names were submitted after the deadline. Daly asked Brandmeyer to chair the subcommittee. The fourth item on the agenda was first reading of Ordinance No. 3, Series 2012, an ordinance making supplemental appropriations to the Town of Vail General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Conference Center Fund, Dispatch Services Fund and Heavy Equipment Fund. Kathleen Halloran, Budget Manager, said this is the first supplemental to the town's budget for 2012. Daly asked about the purpose of the supplemental process and wanted clarification that it is to address items that need to be rolled over or re -appropriated from one budget year to another and other items the Council needs to consider for emergencies and out of cycle requests. Tjossem asked Zemler how staff uses the supplemental process system. Zemler said the first supplemental looks different then other supplementals in the year as this one addresses re - appropriations from the previous year. The fire station falls into this category as they may need to move the project up due to the possibility of using the space if staff moves. The Town will need to fix it prior to the move. Further discussion ensued on various line items including a business systems replacement. The original budget was $175,000 in 2011; however, system costs are higher and now this line item is budgeted for $400,000 which includes the 2011 rollover as it was not used in 2011. Zemler said this is also part of the municipal redevelopment move process as the current system is limping now and is outdated at over 20 years old. Moffet made a motion to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 3, Series of 2012, and the motion was seconded by Kurz. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The fifth item on the agenda was a discussion regarding the Athletics, Culture and Events (ACE) independent funding initiative request. Mia Vlaar, said she miss -spoke previously when she said they were only a citizen group. The group was formed at the request of the previous sitting Council. She went through the PowerPoint presentation. She discussed the strategic goals, values, mission, governance, funding criteria, tiering mechanisms: i.e., non-profit groups, 50% funding; proven events 30%; Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 3 15% funding opportunity to new or one time events; and 5% available to offset the town's expenses. She discussed benefits to the town: economic development; support and sustain Vail's iconic programs and events; energize Vail and generate sales and lodging revenue; and provide a funding safety net for established events and programs. This will free up $2.1 million from the town's General Fund plus another $300,000 from business license fees for a total of $2.4 million, to allocate to other Council priorities. Vlaar said ACE is requesting Council appropriate up to $15,000 to fund a voter poll to gauge support for the independent funding initiative. Results will be presented to the Council upon completion of the poll at the next available meeting for further input and direction. Rogers asked if the funds are approved by the voters, what would be the role of the current Commission on Special Events (CSE) board. Vlaar said the CSE would be disbanded and there would not be two separate boards. The CSE board members could apply to be on the ACE advisory board. Daly asked what the relationship was between the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council (VLMDAC) and ACE. Vlaar said the VLMDAC would dictate who, what, when and how the funds would be distributed. ACE would manage and follow through with the events they chose. Rogers asked if this would require an ordinance to be approved to disband the CSE. Mire stated any boards and commissions have to be changed by ordinance. Rogers asked if the ACE advisory council would be allowed to have a council member on it. Mire said the town charter states that no council member can sit on another town board. Daly asked if the two taxes would create $4.2 million in revenue. Vlaar said it would free up $2.1 million from the town's revenue. Vlaar said it wouldn't be that flexible but that the advisory council would be determining the funding. Moffet said he is concerned about misuse of the funds. He would like a case made for more than doubling the funding. He doesn't see the need for it. On a broader policy basis, this worries him because if we insulate the special event funding process from the political process, the business managers may not care what happens behind the council table. If this goes away where is the incentive? He wanted a more thoughtful analysis of unintended consequences. Mire said you can change the charter but it would have to go to the voters. Daly said from what he has seen, from a competitive standpoint we are already out spending the town's competitors. He believes this is far more money than is necessary. He asked why they need more funding. Vlaar said the funds were to help grow events not just to maintain them. They feel it's important to stay ahead of the curve and not get behind it when it comes to special events. Donovan said they are rushing this process by going out and doing a voter poll. This is currently a tax adverse climate. The School District 3B question was killed last year and a November ballot question would be toxic. She would like to wait and have this discussion in a year to get more information to move forward and have a better climate to ask for a tax. She is concerned the recoil would be bad. Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 4 Tjossem said the previous Council asked for this group to get together and this poll is another mechanism to get feedback to gauge if the community wants to move forward. The timing could be delayed and $15,000 to get feedback from one more segment is not inappropriate. Foley said he agrees with Tjossem. Kurz agrees as well. If the aim is to improve the town's economic situation, spending this money is not a big a deal. He is concerned about who will administer the funds and asked if the staff has the time and energy to do this. Zemler said this was a premature question and it should be a Council discussion on how to organize this at a future date. Zemler said the staff use could be a concern. Daly said he hasn't heard a good justification to give ACE $15,000 and doesn't see any urgency to getting this poll done. Bill Suarez with the Vail Chamber and Business Association (VCBA) and Billy's Island Grill said from the outset there isn't enough funding for events because there isn't enough money. From the business community standpoint, he thinks this would be a good thing. He said the lodging community is not totally behind this concept. There will be mixed support. He wants to hear from the lodging community. Vlaar said there is support from the Vail Economic Advisory Council, the Commission on Special Events, the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council and some lodges. Rogers made a motion to appropriate up to $15,000 to fund a voter poll to gauge support for the independent funding initiative. The motion was seconded by Tjossem. Foley said this will help to find out if this concept is accepted by the community. Zemler said he hopes the survey will be reviewed by the Council. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 4-3; Donovan, Daly and Moffet opposed. The sixth item on the agenda was a discussion on an increase of the Ford Park Summer Parking Rates for summer 2012. Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager, said this will be the first increase since implementation in 1997. She said there is a $20,000 shortfall for managing the summer parking plan at Ford Park. Staff said this is good timing as 15 additional parking spaces will be removed. Staff has met with all Ford Park "user groups" to discuss raising the in -close parking fees to a level that at a minimum will cover the disparity between revenues and expenditures. $5 in -close parking was implemented soon after the passage of the Ford Park Management Plan in April 1997, but only after the South Frontage Road path was extended from the park to the Village Parking Structure. Almost 50 paid and managed parking days have been identified for the upcoming summer. With the success of the express shuttle from the Lionshead Parking Structure to Ford Park over these days, plus approximately 25 more covering Sunday Farmer's Markets and other assorted special events, staff now suggests that in -close parking should pay for itself and should close the $20,000 gap. An increase of $5 to $10 per event would cover this expense. User groups have been offered a discounted rate ($7.00) to satisfy their direct user's needs. Staff is requesting the Council approve the parking rate increase from $5 to $10 per event day. Moffet asked why the town charges at all. Brandmeyer said this is still revenue neutral and the park needs managed paid parking. Council is supporting a bus system of $100,000 to support this event area. Zemler said over time user groups have been controlling some of the parking spaces for their events. When Council approved the management plan, it was done with the condition there would be equity for every user group. Moffet said he hopes this isn't a town revenue measure. Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 5 Billy Suarez said thanked Brandmeyer as she put in a lot of work into this item. He agrees that $10 is a fair parking fee. He said he wanted to point out and had an objection to making athletic tournament people pay multiple times a day. He said there has to be a way that a family can park and go in and out, if there is a space, without paying again. The multiple charges for one day have to be changed and controlled. Brandmeyer said staff can look at that policy again. The key is if space is available. Suarez said the parking staff at Ford Park deserve sainthood as they deal with many disgruntled people. Kurz made a motion to approve an increase from $5 to 10 for in -close parking at Ford Park per event day, and user groups are discounted as in the past, beginning Summer of 2012. The motion was seconded by Donovan. Tjossem said she is going to vote against this. Foley said he is voting for it to get people to use the transportation centers. A vote was taken and the motion passed, 6-1, Tjossem opposed. The seventh item on the agenda was a discussion requesting the reallocation of funds for the East Meadow Drive Reconstruction. Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer, said staff is requesting to reallocate funds from the 2013 Budget to the 2012 budget in order to expedite the replacement of the heated streetscape within East Meadow Drive. He said East Meadow Drive from the Solaris bus neckdown to the Vail Road bus neckdown reconstruction was completed in the spring of 2005 and then modified in 2008. Since that time, there have been a numerous snowmelt leaks and breaks within the snowmelt tubing. The issue is a saturated sand layer beneath the pavers and not enough drainage. When heavy buses go over, it forces the pavers to be on the tubing and break. Staff believes that the condition of the sand and snowmelt has reached a point where it is necessary to replace the pavement section. Staff recommends replacing the existing pavement section (pavers, sand, snowmelt and asphalt) with a new section consisting of asphalt set pavers on top of snowmelt embedded in concrete. This particular new concrete section has been used successfully at the bus neckdowns at the Austria Haus, Solaris and Vail Road. The 2013 budget is carrying $500,000 for the replacement of this heated paver section. Staff suggests moving these funds from 2013 to 2012 and completing the repairs this spring. Staff recommends supplementing the 2012 budget in the amount of $500,000, and removing the same amount from the 2013 budget and to direct the Town Manager to enter into a contract, in a form approved by the Town Attorney, with B&B Excavating in the amount of $319,008.56 in order to complete the work this spring and ability to construct from 4/15 to before TEVA games on the last weekend in May. The timing is good to get this project done. Rogers asked why staff was asking for $500,000 if the bid was for $319,000. Rogers said she is more than happy to give the money but is frustrated that Council doesn't know what the cost will be. Kassmel said the staff has built in contingencies and that $400,000 would cover it. Kassmel said this request was a function of moving the funding from the 2013 to 2012 budget. Moffet made a motion to reallocate funds from the 2013 budget to the 2012 budget to expedite the replacement of the heated streetscape within East Meadow Drive. The motion was seconded by Donovan. Further discussion ensued. Moffet made a motion to amend his motion to include "up to $400,000" and Donovan seconded the amended motion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 6 Zemler said he will make sure the details of the funding costs would be in the 2"d supplemental. The eighth item on the agenda was first reading of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, an ordinance amending Chapter 12-6, Residential Districts, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to establish a new zone district, Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District, and setting forth details in regard thereto; and Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, amending Chapter VII, Vail Village Sub -Areas, East Gore Creek Sub -Area (#6), Vail Village Master Plan, pursuant to Chapter Vill, Implementation and Amendment, Vail Village Master Plan, to include recommendations related to a new Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Bill Gibson, Planner, reviewed the memorandum and power point on Ordinance No. 2. He said the applicant requests the Council approve Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, on first reading. The applicant requests that the Council table Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, to its April 17, 2012, public hearing to correspond to the second reading of the associated Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012. On November 14, 2011, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) forwarded a recommendation of approval, with modifications, to the Council for the proposed Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, and Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, by a vote of 4-1-1 (Rediker opposed and Pratt recused). The purpose of the proposed ordinance is to establish a new zone district, the Vail Village Townhouse (VVT) District; and the purpose of the proposed resolution is to establish related design guidelines as part of the Vail Village Master Plan. The purpose for establishing a new zone district and related design guidelines are as follows: - Streamlining the development review process by establishing a new zone district to specifically address townhouse properties which reduces legal non- conformities and the need for future variances. - Create incentives for redevelopment of existing townhouse properties. - Preserve the existing residential character of the townhouse properties and the neighborhood. Daly asked about the landscaping going from 30% to 20% and why aren't they asking to keep as much landscaping as possible. Gibson said if they kept it at 30%, some of the properties would continue to be non -conforming. Daly wants to keep as much landscaping as possible. Gibson said the guidelines state the property owners need to pick one way or the other to be consistent. Donovan said she has concerns keeping the residential character but the roof value changes don't feel like a residential area anymore. She asked where 43 feet is residential in character. Gibson said this height came from the Vail Village core. Since it's called Vail Village Townhouse District, staff wanted to keep it consistent with the village. Rogers said the town has been dealing with this for years. If they can go to 48 feet, why hasn't anyone done it? Gibson said the practical challenge is the units today are constrained by the existing structure. Once you demo/rebuild the property, owners must comply with the town's guidelines, subsequently losing their square footage. They can't capture floor area by modifying attics and basements. Daly said going to 48 feet would not be feasible for many units. There would be a loss if they rebuilt and some units are over on density. Additional discussion ensued regarding gross residential floor area (GRFA), height and landscaping. Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 7 Dominic Mauriello, with Mauriello Consulting, stated these were built in 1962 and built with 20% landscape area. Between 1970 and 1985, this made all the properties non -conforming for this provision in the code. That's why most of the properties meet the 20% and not the 30%. He thinks what staff has shown is within the design controls in place. The fagades never change. It's the back side of the building that changes. This doesn't make a difference to pedestrians on the street side. It doesn't matter if the GRFA is 1.25 or 1.35. Donovan said Vail Trails East could change enormously. Gibson asked if the Council was going to table this item, the applicant wanted to skip a meeting and move it to May 1st as Kyle Webb and Dominic Mauriello would be out of town on April 17. John Dunn, a local attorney representing the Bridgewaters, one of the property owners, said they are opposed because of unintended consequences on Lot 11. They are concerned about homes on either side of their property. They want to know how they would be protected and what it would look like. They are concerned about the GRFA as well. They want Council not to adopt this ordinance or change the ratio of GRFA back to the original. Moffet is comfortable with the way the ordinance reads as is. Moffet made a motion to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 2, Series of 2012, and subject to findings on page 5 of the staff memo dated April 3, 2012. The motion was seconded by Kurz. Moffet said they were tormenting people needlessly. This ordinance simplifies the process and gets rid of a lot of processes and accomplishes the town's objectives. Kurz agrees with Moffet and said they need to look at redevelopment in a different way than the past. The market suggests needing to do things differently and to allow property owners to improve their residences. Donovan is opposed as she feels this still needs more work. Rogers and Foley agree with Donovan. Daly said he is also not in support of this ordinance as this is part of the main corridors of Vail. Tjossem is voting in favor as it has gone through two sessions of PEC and the neighborhood has been involved. The staff has nurtured the process and come up with a great compromise. She asked Moffet to amend his vote to table this item to the May 1 meeting. Moffet moved to withdraw his first motion and Tjossem seconded the motion. Moffet moved to table this item to the May 1 meeting. The motion was seconded by Foley. Rogers said she doesn't get this process and would like to see a new 3D model done by Mauriello to see the differences. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0. Mire said that was not necessary to make a motion to table Resolution No. 7, Series of 2012, to the May 1st meeting. A request was made to delay item number 9, Ordinance no. 6 to later in the evening. A five minute break was taken at 9:08 p.m. After the break the tenth, now ninth item was moved up on the agenda. It was Resolution No. 15, Series 2012, a resolution approving the conveyance of a portion of the real property located at 75 South Frontage Road, Vail, Colorado (the Town Hall property) from The Vail, Colorado, Municipal Building Authority and accepting such property. Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 8 Matt Mire, Town Attorney, stated there was a minor title correction for the real property described in Resolution No. 15, Series 2012, (the "Property") was owned by the Vail, Colorado, Municipal Building Authority (the "Authority'), a Colorado non-profit corporation. The Authority was originally incorporated in 1970 and again in 1985, for the purpose of financing the construction of town facilities on the Property. Pursuant to the Authority's Articles of Incorporation, the Authority was to convey the Property back to the town once all outstanding debt on the Property was fully satisfied. All outstanding debt on the Property has been fully satisfied. On or about March 22, 2012, the Authority conveyed the Property to the Town. The Council, via Resolution No. 15, Series 2012, wishes to approve such conveyance and accept the Property. The Council will then authorize the conveyance of the Property as set forth in Ordinance No. 4, Series 2012. Rogers made a motion to approve Resolution No. 15, and the motion was seconded by Foley. Daly reiterated that the town had set up an organization to own the Property and the debt was paid off years ago and this cleaned up the title to the property. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The tenth (was ninth) item on the agenda was first reading of Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2012, an ordinance reestablishing "temporary business office" as a conditional use within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Warren Campbell, Chief Planner, said on November 16, 2004, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 26, Series of 2004. This ordinance created the "temporary business office" land use and established it as a conditional use within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District. Within the ordinance there was a provision causing the land use to cease being a conditional use on December 31, 2008. The purpose of the text amendment was to provide adequate temporary sites and locations for existing business offices currently in Lionshead that are displaced for a period of time during construction in Lionshead. On March 5, 2012, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) unanimously forwarded a recommendation of approval to reestablish "temporary business office" as a conditional use within the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 District. The PEC recommended the Council approve Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2012, on first reading. The request for a conditional use needs to come before PEC and then Council will hear it in the PEC reports and can bring it up if so needed. It was made very clear that this is an office use that was displaced due to redevelopment. Tjossem said this has been a win/win situation. Foley made a motion to approve first reading of Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2012, and the motion was seconded by Moffet. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The eleventh item on the agenda was second reading of Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2012, an ordinance authorizing the sale of a portion of the real property located at 75 South Frontage Road, Vail, Colorado, (the "Town Hall Property") to Vail MOB, LLC, for the purchase price of $5 million, and setting forth details in regard thereto. George Ruther, Community Development Director, said this was second reading of Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2012. He stated the Town of Vail (TOV), in cooperation with the Vail Valley Medical Center (WMC) and the Steadman Clinic (SC), wishes to redevelop a portion of the town's property located at 75 South Frontage Road. To do so, the TOV, WMC and SC signed a Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 9 memorandum of understanding, which in part, acknowledges the sale of a portion of Town property to VVMC and SC for $5 million. The purchase price was established based upon a value of use appraisal completed for the property. Pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, the title to the property shall not occur until such time as a building permit for the new medical office building is ready for issuance and a construction loan guaranteeing the construction of the building is secured and ready for funding. Staff will be coming back on May 1, asking the Council to authorize the town manager to sign a purchase and sale agreement to move forward. The transfer will not occur until such time as the project has gone through the town's PEC and DRB process and a building permit is ready for issuance and a construction loan has been issued. Rogers made a motion to approve second reading of Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2012, with one addition of a "whereas clause" that says, "Whereas the Council finds this will insure the long term presence of the hospital and clinic in the town" and the motion was seconded by Tjossem. Daly said one of his major Council objectives is to insure the hospital and clinic stay in town for the long term. These issues will be addressed during the purchase and sale agreement. This will make sure Council feels comfortable with the process, make sure fiduciary responsibilities will be done and a construction contract will be addressed in a timely basis. Mire point out that the only amendment after first reading was to clear up the title. A letter submitted for the record by Dick Neal will be part of the record. Mark Philippon thanked the Council and staff on behalf of his team. They are looking forward to many years to come in this collaboration. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. Tjossem said she is proud of this Council for completing the vision of George Gillette in bringing Dr. Steadman to town. Dr. Steadman said he would like to thank George Gillette as well and he thanked the Council for the vote. The twelfth item on the agenda was the Ever Vail project. Warren Campbell, Chief Planner, said staff requests that the major subdivision and Ordinance Nos. 7, 8 and 9, Series of 2012 be continued to the April 17, 2012, public hearing. Moffet made a motion to continue the Ever Vail major subdivision and Ordinance Nos. 7, 8, and 9, Series of 2011, to the May 1 st, 2012 public hearing. The motion was seconded by Donovan. The thirteenth item on the agenda was adjournment. As there was no further business, Moffet made a motion to adjourn and the motion was seconded by Foley. A vote was taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The meeting adjourned at 9:26 p.m. Town of Vail Meeting Minutes of April 3, 2012 Page 10 Respectfully Submitted, Andrew P.
