A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO,
APPROVING THE 2005 EOTC BUDGET FOR THE PITKIN COUNTY 1/2 CENT TRANSIT
SALES AND USE TAX
WHEREAS, the Aspen City Council, the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners
and the Town Council of Snowmass Village (the "Parties") have previously identified general
elements of their Comprehensive Valley Transportation Plan (the "Plan") which are eligible for
funding from the Pitkin County one-half cent transit sales and use tax; and
WHEREAS, by intergovernmental agreement dated September 14, 1993, the Parties agreed:
a. to conduct regular public meetings to continue to refine and agree upon
proposed projects and transportation elements consistent with or complimentary to
the Plan; and
b. that all expenditures and projects to be funded from the County-wide one-
half cent transit sales and use tax shall be agreed upon by the Parties and evidenced
by a resolution adopted by the governing body of each party; and
WHEREAS, at a public meeting held on April 21, 2005, the Pitkin County Board and
Snowmass Village Council considered and approved the attached initial budget for the year 2005
for the Pitkin County one-half cent transit sales and use tax; and
WI-IEREAS, the Bmsh Creek parking lot expansion budget was approved with the
following conditions: (1) to accept staff's recommendation for the combination untreated/grass and
gravel surface; (2) to accept Intrawest's offer to construct Phases I and II of the project up to the
sub-grade (including drainage but with reimbursement for the cost of Phase II piping), to construct
the extension of the left-turn lane on SH82, and to maintain the up-to-350-space lot for its
constmction workers for five years; (3) to attempt thereby to reduce the EOTC's cost for the lot
expansion by at least $668,000 as a contribution from Intrawest; (4) to initially gravel only 200
spaces of the expanded lot, but to increase that from 200 up to a maximum of 350 spaces upon
request by Intrawest if the 200 spaces are consistently filled; and (5) to return gravel-surface spaces
to grass if they are not needed after the five year Intrawest construction period; and
WHEREAS, the Parties agreed to commit $6.5 million to regional transit improvements in
Snowmass Village (including the interface of local to regional transit) in 2007 in the EOTC Multi-
year Plan (not the 2005 budget); and
WHEREAS, Snowmass Village is willing to suspend any future funding requests until a fair
balance of funding is achieved:
