Ruedi Feasibility COntract. Mayor Pro Tem Michael introduced a contract between the city, county and Sheaffer & Roland for phase one at $68,000 of the initial feasibility study regarding the development of hydroelectric facilities at Ruedi reservoir. County manager Curt Stewart told the Boards he has two problems with this agreement. One is section 1-3 where Sheaffer & Roland could subcontract for services not customarily provided by the firm. Stewart said this is too open-ended as there is no notificiation clause. Stewart also questioned the indemnification clause limiting the liability of the firm to $500,000. Stewart discussed this with the county insurance agent and was advised that the county should be indemnified, not Sheaffer & Roland, and suggested an amount between two and five million dollars. Stewart told the Boards he could not recommend approval of the contract at this time. The Council and Commissioners agreed to table this contract until the city and county managers and attorneys have an opportunity to review the contract. 2. Job Service Center. Jere Rood told the Boards he felt the Job Service Center has lived up to whatever obligations they were held to as far as operating the trolley car. Rood told Council a lot of people have supported the Job Service Center and enabled them to install a telephone and electricty. Rood told the Boards 600 people have contacted the Job Service Center since August. Commissioner Child said the community does need this type of service; however, it does not mean that government should be maintaining it. Child said the Boards should support the concept and urge all employe~s in the community to support it and financially support it. Rood said he had hand delivered 200 letters to employers and raised about $1,000. Rood agreed he would like to see the employers pay the way. Rood said he did not have the money to mail out 300 more letters to employers. Rood said he would like to know how much the Job Service Center is worth to the Boards. Kinsley said it is worth a lot to him; however, the county has not funded many programs due to lack of funds. The Boards agreed to consider Rood's request during budget sessions. COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Councilman Parry moved to approve the minutes of July 1981; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE Councilman Knecht moved to approve the accounts payable for September; seconded by Council. man Parry. All in favor, motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Tracy Meyers brough up a 1977 ordinance adopting the State model traffic code and told Council this violates an individuals' rights and should be appealed. This section addresses standing or stopping in an official or loading zones and violates the principal to move on the public streets. Ms. Meyers said she was ticketed for parking in a loading I~ zone in from of the Hyman Avenue Building. Mayor Pro Tem Michael pointed out if the. city did not have some kind of control for commercial businesses, the downtown would be chaos. Ms. Meyers argued if the city did not regulate parking, it would work in a reasonable fashion. Ms. Meyers said the city did not have the right to give priveleged treatment to businesses because everyone pays taxes. Councilman Parry said if the city eliminated loading zones, traffic will be stopping all over the streets. Mayor Pro Tem Michael pointed out that businesses do generate sales taxes, which help the city run. 2. Tom Wells presented an idea of turning Victorian houses into bed and breakfast-type inns. Wells said the house in question is located in the R/MF zone and the use of bed and breakfast is contrary to the zoning. Wells contacted the planning office to let them know of his idea and this presentation. Re~val of historic houses dilutes the character of the center of town. Wells suggested a transition zone in the west end to make the bed and breakfast idea possible and salvage some smaller scale structures. Wells showed the area on a map. This would give some of the historic structures some economic viabilit Wells told Council that the planning office is working on this idea and will be presentinc it to Council at the next meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Michael said this is an intriguing idea~ 3. Poebe Ryearson told Council there will be a water film at Paepcke auditorium on December 1st. Also on December 1st there will be a bus trip to Parachute put on by the League of Women Voters. On December? 8th a PR person from Chevron will speak at a lunchec and the general public is invited. 4. ~rge Rilery said Tom Well's idea is wonderful. 5. Jon Busch brought up a letter written to the Aspen Times about a future arts film in Aspen. There is talk of plans to try to establish a film archive. Decision are being made of the Wheeler Opera House; Busch had proposed small cinema/recital hall located in the Wheeler. Busch said art films have small audiences and therefore are very marginal financially. Busch said if there was an art film business in the Wheeler, the only way it could exist is on a rent free basis with the city. Whether there is a space in the Wheeler for cinema needs to be decided soon. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilman Parry said the Council needs to discuss the city manager's performance. Council scheduled this for their November llth special meeting. 2. Mayor Pro Tem Michael said that Phoebe Ryerson asked Council consider allowing Grass- roots to film the Council meetings. Council had no objections. 3. Sunny Vann, planning director, requested the addition of three items to the agenda; (1) Aspen Inn GMP amendment; (2) The 1981 lodge and commercial GMP applications, Council must make a decision on or before December 1st. This is scheduled for November 23; there are at least two challenges to the lodge competition. In order to meet the December 1 deadline, Vann requested items one and two be placed on the agenda and the meeting continued until November 16th; (3) the housing price guidelines should be on this agenda. Councilman Knecht moved to place on the agenda above items 1, 2, and 3 and to continue items 1 and 2 until November 16th; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~62, SERIES OF 1981 -General Occupation Tax Mayor Pro Tem Michael outlined this is a $120 per business occupation tax, half of which will be allocated to downtown improvements or beautification and half of which goes to the general fund. Mayor Pro Tem Michael said the CCLC is looking into what kind of projects would be appropriately funded out of this. A1 Blomquist said the principle of applying a flat rate to every business in town is not far. Blomquist suggested a formula based on the number of employees or square footage, something to get closer to the busine~ s' ability to pay. Bill Trost said there is a question of whether the city should impose any more fees on small businesses at all. Businesses do collect sale tax for the city. ?rost said $120 per business is a regressive tax. Trost asked if the landlords were going to be taxed, or salemen or garage sales. Trost said the businesses give money back to the city; some people do not, and this does not seem equitable. Trost said he was opposed to putting any more burden on the business community. Phil Burn pointed out if one is a small business, for instance a seamstress service, they Will pay the same amount of the Aspen Skiing Company or City Market. There should be an effort to reduce the impact on the small businesses. John Van Ness said the city is proposing to charge seasonal businesses the same as large year round businesses and this is discriminatory. Also to charge people in the outlying districts that have no impact on the downtown core is discriminatory. Van Ness said the businesses in Aspen are in precarious shape. Dave Danforth pointed out that two years ago the voters were asked if they wanted taxes raised for downtown beautification, and it was defeated. This seems like the Council wants to reenact the same thing. Mayor Pro Tem asked the finance office to investigate the idea of sliding fees scale and bring it back to Council; what to base it on, and the advantages and disadvantages. Ron Mitchell told Council the reason the staff did not recommend something like that is they wanted to make it as simple as possible. Councilman Knecht said he felt the liquor occupation tax was unfair also and perhaps it should be done on a sliding scale too. Councilman Parry moved to read Ordinance ~62, Series of 1981, with the option of being able to look at sliding scale on second reading; seconded by Councilman Knecht0 All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~62 (Series of 1981) AN ORDINANCE ADDING A NEW ARTICLE V TO CHAPTER 21 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING REVENUE AND TAXATION AND IMPOSING AN OCCUPATION TAX ON ALL PERSONS ENGAGED IN BUSINESS TO SECURE A PROPER DISTRIBUTION OF THE BURDEN OF TAXES, PROVIDING FOR THE COLLECTION THEREOF, AND PROVIDING PENALTIES FOR THE VIOLATION THEREOF; REPEALING SECTIONS 12-33(3), 12-35, 12-38 AND 12-39; AND REPEALING AND REENACTING SECTIONS 12-30(a), 12-34, 12-37 AND 21-58 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE SO AS TO ELIMINATE REFERENCES TO FEES IN CONNECTION WITH BUSINESS LICENSES was read by the city clerk Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance ~62, Series of 1981, on first reading with the provision Council consider a sliding fee scale at second reading; seconded by Councilman Parry. Councilman Parry said if the staff comes up with a sliding scale that works for everyone, it would be much better. Mayor Pro Tem Michael requested a report from the CCLC on how they plan to spend the $60,000. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Parry, aye; Knecht, aye; Mayor Pro Tem Michael, aye. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #75, SERIES OF 1981 - Liquor Occupation Tax Councilman ~necht said he felt this tax should be on a sliding scale fee also. Councilman Parry suggested this tax be on number of employees and square footage. Councilman Knecht said the reason for this higher tax has always been because liquor licensed establishments require more policing. Gary Plumley agreed that bars may require more attention but that retail outlets do not require any more policing than any other kind of establishment. Tom Iacono, Grog Ship, said he had asked the police department to produce figures and has not seen any substantiation of this. Mayor Pro Tem Michael said she owned a restaurant and has no problems with paying $750 a year plus extended hours. Councilman Parry moved to read Ordinance #75, Series of 1981; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE #75 (Series of 1981) AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REENACTING SECTION 4-31 OF THE ASPEN MUNICIPAL CODE TO RECLASSIFY OPERATORS SELLING AT RETAIL FERMENTED MALT AND ALCOHOLIC LIQUOR AND AMENDING SECTION 4-32 PROVIDING FOR THE INCREASE OF THE ANNUAL OCCUPATION TAX REQUIRED TO BE PAID PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A LIQUOR LICENSE was read by the city clerk Councilman Parry said he felt this tax is out of scale with other business taxes and the liquor licensed people are paying more. The 3.2 beer, beer & wine, and retail outlets should be lowered. Ray Lucchini, owner of Cooper Street Pier, said he did not feel his police calls are any more excessive than stores that call for shoplifters. Lucchini told Council he has been encouraged to call the police to settle problems. Lucchini said he is not against paying a tax, but would like to pay an equitable tax. Councilman Parry moved to adopt Ordinance #75, Series of 1981, on first reading with A, B, and C being the same as last year and the rest of the Ordinance remain intact; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Knecht, aye; Parry, aye; Mayor Pro Tem Michael, nay. Motion carried. DRIVEWAY (CURB CUT) VARIANCE - ASPEN SKIING COMPANY Peter Forsch, Aspen Skiing Company, told Council they need a new curb cut on Durant in order to allow access to the east side of their building at Little Nell's. This would make it easier to control the lot. By opening up the Spring street entrance also, this will eliminate two parking spaces. The Skking Company provides short term parking in the lot for the city. Forsch said this will divide the parking lot between Skiing Company parking and short term parking for the restaurant and retail shops. Councilman Parry said this lot needs the ability for circulation because there are thousands of cars going through daily. Councilman Parry moved to approve the extra curb cut entrance on Durant street; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. City Engineer McArthur said if Council allows everyone to do this, there will be no parking in town. Councilman Parry said this is a heavy drive through area. VACATING ALLEY BEHIND POPPIES BISTRO cAFE City Engineer McArthur told Council in 1937, the City vacated lots C through S, except for A, B, K, L, to the forest service. Right now there are two lots of public street which is not maintained by the city. McArthur said he does not have any problem vacating the rest of the lots except that both property owners pay fair market value of the vacation of the alleys. McArthur said that the forest service cannot come up with the money; therefore, Poppies would have to pay the whole thing. To pay fair market value, the alley would have to be appraised. McArthur said the city does not want to vacate just half of the alley. Rouhlac Garn, representing Poppies, told Council they went to the Board of Adjustment and got a variance to expand their kitchen. The kitchen is too small for the existing capacity of the restaurant. The building of this kitchen goes into the setback. Ms. Garn said they would like a variance to build in the setback rather than pay for the alley. The alley is only used for two parking spaces for employees and the dumpster. Mayor Pro Tem Michael asked why not just go for the variance of building in the setback. Ms. Garn said they would prefer that. Michael Hull told Council the Board of Adjustment granted him a variance to expand a non-conforming structure, but were reluctant to grant building into the setback on city property. City Attorney Taddune suggested he work with the applicant to figure out how this request could be accommodated and return to Council. REQUEST TO HAVE SKI STORAGE VAN Gail Check requested Council's approval for a ski storage van to be located at Rubey park. This would provide a needed service for visitors who do not want to shuttle their skiis back and forth everyday. The van would be moved overnight. Ms. Check said she would charge $2 for overnight. The van would be regular size and would have racks built in it. Monroe Summers told Council he has mixed emotions about this request; there is a legitimate need. However, the format may not be workable given the amount of congestion at Rubey park and als© what the liabilities might be. Councilman Knecht said he did not care for the idea. There is too much going on at Rubey park. When a transportation building is built, it should have ski storage. Summers said he is concerned about a queue standing in the streets during traffic hours. Summers said there is a definite need for ski storage, however~ he would like to look into this further Council agreed that staff should look into this. RESOLUTION ~51, SERIES OF 1981 - Inspection and Code Compliance Mayor Pro Tem Michael said the city has been working with a segment of the lodging community and the Council is bein~ asked to pass a resolution to try to rationalize what has been an irrational process, the inspection of dorm lodges. Lodge owners are concerned about being asked to spend large amounts of money. Gideon Kaufman said he has worked with the city staff to come up with a resolution so that the city and lodges get what they want. The city gets .inspections and what they require; the lodge owners will find out exactly what expenses they will have to incur. There is an appeal mechanism to Council by the dorm/lodge owner. The resolution places a requirement on the dorm/lodge owner to keep their lodge at the same safety standards. City Attorney Taddune said this resolution is a formulation of policy rather than a local law. KaUfman said this does not preclude this from applying to all lodges; this came out of a group examined closely. Councilman Parry moved to adopt Resolution #51, Series of 1981; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. RESOLUTION ~55, SERIES OF 1981 - Housing Task Force Mayor Pro Tem Michael said this resolution sets up reasons for a housing task force; suggests 10 people to be on the task force. This group will research the advantages and disadvantages of having a single housing authority for Pitkin County. It has been suggested this activity take three months. Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Resolution ~55, Series of 1981; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. CONCEPTUAL SUBDIVISION G~lf Course Alan Richman, planning office, presented maps and told Council this application is made on behalf of the City of Aspen. The proposal is for four parcels; the Plum Tree, the golf course, and two employee housing sites proposed at the rear of the golf course. The plat has been reviewed by the engineering department and is adequate for conceptual purposes. Richman said there is no issue of development allotment question in this revie~ P & Z reviewed this; their main objection was the employee housing sites. There was a lot of public opinion against the subdivision. P & Z concurned with public opinion about the employee housing sites and recommended eliminating them from the subdivision. P & Z suggested that some other sites beside the Plum Tree be zoned golf support overlay, like the land where the pro shop will be located. Councilman Knecht moved to approve the golf course conceptual submission subject to the following conditions; (1) elimination of lots 3 and 4 (proposed employee housing sites) from the subdivision; (2) addition of a third parcel to the subdivision, to include land which is adjacent to, but not part of the land to be subdivided as the plum tree inn, but which should also be zoned golf course support overlay zone district; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. Michael Gassman asked that the record show 14 or 15 people showed up about the employee sites because they were concerned about them. ORDINANCE ~68, SERIES OF 1981 Golf Course Overlay Alan Richman, planning office, told Council this is a code amendment which Council initiat and P & Z concurred with the approach on this zone district. P & Z recommended an ability for review for the area and bulk requirements. The planning office recommended the area and bulk requirements be set by P & Z. Council was concerned about the PUD aspect because it may add a time delay to the Plum Tree lease procedure. The planning office took the approach to amend park district and put in the uses the Council wanted for the golf course support overlay zone. Ordinance ~68 does not address area and bulk requirements because the underlying park district has to no requirements for area and bulk. This ordinance should permit the city to go forward with leasing the Plum Tree. Mayor Pro Tem Michael opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Pro Tem Michael closed the public hearing. Councilman Knecht moved to read Ordinance ~68, Series of 1981; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.

The zoning is R-15/PUD on 22,000 square feet. The engineeri~ department had minor technical corrections to the plat. The attorneys office requests a six month minimum lease. Ms. Davis said both the P & Z and planning office recommend approval with three minor conditions.

All in favor, motion carried. STATUS OF HISTORIC DESIGNATION .~olette Penne, planning office~ said the Council does not need to be concerned with the 'top two categories of sites and structures. The concern is the 128 notable structures th~re not part of the present or potential historic district. Ms. Penne said there are a ~'o~of nice houses in this category. There are significant tax breaks if a house is part of an historic district or as part of the national register. Ms. Penne suggested if the moratorium on historic structures lapses on November 19th, that she try to get neighborhood groups to go alon~L_with historic districts.
