The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Both Kevin Foley and Susie Tjossem
both asked to recognize the passing of long-time Vail supporters and residents, Cyrus Allen
(Buck Allen's father) and June Simonton, local artist and writer.
The second item on the agenda was the Town Manager's Report. Ron Braden, IT Director,
gave an update on AT&T and issues with this carrier. A tower has been constructed at Public
Works and both AT&T and Verizon hope to be on line by the summer of 2013, with ultimate
build out planned for this coming fall. While 4G coverage is still sporadic, the signal is getting
better and stronger and the community should see better propagation east of the golf course.
Verizon may also be on the Public Works tower. Inside the Village Parking Structure should
continue to improve. Ron Riley, East Vail resident and restaurateur, noted 200 people had
responded by e-mail to his Vail Daily full page ad. Of those, 187 filled out the questionnaire and
of those 187, 145 believed there would be an adverse economic effect due to the coverage
difficulties over the holidays. Respondents were angry and frustrated.
Additionally, under "new business," Greg Moffet moved to ask Council to work with staff to table
the upcoming Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) application for the Ford Park
Phase II projects (scheduled for March 11) to April 22 in order to allow Council to do a site visit
to Phase I Ford Park improvements on March 19. He requested Council be able to look at
Phase II projects based on conditions now created by Phase I. He further moved to schedule a
public hearing on March 19 to discuss the Ford Park Management Plan. This two-part motion
was seconded by Kevin Foley. The motion passed 6-1, Rogers opposed.
The third item on the agenda was second reading of an ordinance repealing and re-enacting
Ordinance No. 7, Series of 2010, re-establishing the approved development plan and
development standards for site coverage, density and landscaping for Special Development
District No. 37, Tivoli Lodge, in accordance with Section 12-9A-10, Amendment Procedures,
