Solid Waste Center. Bud Eylar, public works director, is asking Council to authorize the transfer by quit claim deed the city's interest in the dump to Pitkin County. Eylar said this is a consolidation issue. Eylar told the Boards that a contract is being written and reviewed by the county staff; it will then be given to the City Attorney for review. Eylar said the County is doing all the management of the dump itself. Mayor Edel sadi eventually this land will have value, and the city needs to look into this. Council- man Knecht said he would like a report from city staff before he takes any action. Eylar said this is just to let the Boards know this is in the works. 2. Transportation Consolidation Report. Commissioner Madsen said this is a very important issue and has been discussed for a long time. Eve Homeyer, chairwoman of the transporta- tion committee told the Boards this group has met weekly since December and presented a report of their findings. Ms. Homeyer said they wanted to present this conceptual report to the Boards to make sure they are on the right track. The group has heard reports from various entities in the valley. The proposed schedule for the remainder of the year is in February get conceptual city and county approval for a transportation consolidation plan~ to be reviewed by the Board Council and Town of Snowmass. In March get final approval of the plan, finalize funding sources, and determine the necessity of an election to provide the funds. April prepare for an election, and May review the election results. Ms. Homeyer said after the election, the Task Force would propose the establishment of a permanent Transit Authority Board, create and implement an operational plan for the consolidated system and review participation of other entities. The consolidated system would be operational in January 1984. ~egu±ar Meeting Aspen City Council February 14, 1983 Ms. Homeyer outlined the conceputal goals that the Task Force considered. These are to eliminate duplication of routes/services in both the city and county, and consider the elimination of economically unjustifiable route. To prioritize service in the highest usei! area; to identify those areas not presently served, and consider providing needed services ~ to such areas on a priority basis as funding permits; to maintain on and off-season service as well as weekend service where economically justifiable and needed to meet public demand!i and to serve as an auto disincentive. And to eliminate the negative financial status of both existing systems and provide for a stable economic future for transportation. Ms. Homeyer said the Task Force will recommend a seventh penny county sales tax to fund the consolidated system. Ms. Homeyer commended the Task Force and said they worked very hard. Commissioner Klanderud said the Task force is three elected officials and four citizen. Other participants include representatives of the school district, the Aspen Skiing Company, and the town of Snowmass. Councilwoman Michael said a seventh penny county sales tax would necessitate the elimination of the city's seventh penny taX. The city's seventh penny tax was restricted to specific uses, and Councilwoman Michael requesteid the city attorney review and report on this. Councilwoman Michael asked if the school district was expected to participate in the con- solidated system. NancyVan Domelen explained that the Task Force has not yet considered that the district participate in the new system; school buses must provide various safety features that are not required on other buses. The Task Force is expected to consider participation at a later date. A joint work session was scheduled for Tuesday, February 22, at 5:00 p.m. Councilman Knecht moved to give conceptual approval of the committee's outline; seconded by Commissioner Blake. All in favor, motion carried. COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES Councilman Knecht moved to approve the minutes of August 1982 and October 12, 1982; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Castle Ridge tenants came to address Council about the grouting work being done there. The tenants would like some compensation because this work has become unbearable. They requested a reduction or rebate in rent. The workers are there from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on a four day week. The noise is unbearable. The tenants do not feel they are getting what they paid for. The living conditions are pretty bad. Councilman Collins asked what the completion schedule is. Bob Wells said building B should be finished by March 18 and building A by May 22. Mayor Edel said this should like a legitimate gripe and should be faced in some manner. Mayor Edel asked City Manager Chapman to meet with the tenants to see what could be done. Chapman told Council the staff has gone to Castle Ridge and met with them. Chapman said the staff has gone about as far as they can go. The tenants would like some adjustment on their rents The tenants would like the rents in buildings A and B reduced by half for the period of ~ime they have had to deal with this inconvenience. To do both buildings on the same basis would cost $12,700. Mayor Edel asked if this would be a big precedent for people in other buildings. City Attorney said he felt it would be. Chapman said the city has already compensated the people living in the two units that the contractors had to use for these repairs, this was because they phsyiCally had to move out. Mayor Edel said he was bothered as to how far this would go. Chapman said the staff has tried to ameleriate whatever concerns of the residents that the staff could. The staff has done as much as they can do; the residents are not satisfied, they want some compensation on their rent. Councilwoman Michael moved to put this Castle Ridge problem on the agenda; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilman Knecht moved to add to the agenda the TV task force and housing authority appointments; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried. 2. Councilman Parry said he is continually hearing about trying to hire a city/county building inspector. Councilman Parry said the contractors around feel that Patsy Newberry? is a good manager and is happy to deal with people, which is important in that office. Councilman Parry said he felt Patsy Newberry should be allowed to run the building depart-i! ment as she has in the past. Councilman Parry moved to add this to the agenda; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried. 3. Councilwoman Michael brought up a Denver Post article about cutting of Aspen trees study by a proposal from the Bureau of Land Management, which is to cut Aspen trees that are absorbing water between Eagle and Rifle. Councilwoman Michael said there has been no study what this would do to wildlife or erosion. Councilwoman Michael asked a staff membel to call the BLM to see how serious this proposal is. Sam Caudill said the county and the city should ban together to oppose the cutting of Aspen trees. Mayor Edel appOinted Sam Caudill to work with Tom Dunlop and report back to Council so that the Council can do the appropriate action. 4. Mayor Edel asked about the sign code complaint at the Tippleyo Bill Drueding, zoning enforcement officer, said it was taken down within one week. ~egu±ar Meeting Aspen City Council February 14,_ 1983 CASTLE RIDGE PROBLEM Councilwoman Michael moved to direct Staff to finalize and resolve a compensation formula for residents of A and B buildings at Castle Ridge to a limit of $13,000; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~5, SERIES OF 1983 - Rezoning Hotel Jerome Colette Penne, planning office, said this is a first reading of a rezoning ordinance whic rezoning was initiated by the Council. This will change the zoning to CC/PUD to allow the hotel and the uses that will be there. Ms. Penne said the plans will be lo~ked at at second reading along with final plat approval.

Tom W~lls said the financing is complete; the drawings are in the preliminary st~ a~ they may be abl~5~O start construc, tion this summer. ? 3~~ ~ HIGHWAY 82 ' ~'~ Tom Wells told Council his interest has come to this subject through much discussion and a moderation of panels on this item before the ~le~ti~n ~n November. W~l'ls~ said he felt the traffic congestion caused by the Cemetery Lane llght,~he Castle creek bridge and the 7th street job will have to be improved. The ~'~r~eDc~. pf entering As~,ls punctuated by the turning of this area, and ending the high speed ~ighway experience and introduces the beginning of Aspen as a town. Wells prese~te~j~me abstract maps ~his concerns in the area. Pat Dobie, county engineer, said it has been broug~ up that the curves at either entrance to town tend to slow traffic down befdre ASpen itself. ' ~boie said he felt that Wells' plan answers some questions brought up during the e!lec~ion; it is an~ alternative to what was defeated in November. Dobie told Council, as fa~ ~s'~he highway department is concerned, the ball is in our court and they do not wan~'to, pa~r~igipate ih any more studies. The highway department wants to sit tight until the community comes to a consensus. Dobie told Council he is planning on taking a process through the Pitkin county ~ & Z. If there is no alternative to the current alignment, there is not much to be done about the situa- tion. Sam Caudill said we ought to stop playing with this issue. The way the road is now is telling the people of the nation that Aspen is a small alpine community with quality. Caudill said putting more highways coming into Aspen will have a bad affect on the wild life. Caudill said the road ought to stay the way it is, and Aspen is going to go for quality. Judy Royer said there has been an election on this question, and there was a real~ consensus. This project was voted down, and people were voting against the concept of the entrance to town and taking away of open space. Jerry McCarthy, county planning and zoning~ commission, told Council ~during their discussions of a four-lane proposal, the P & Z recommended that the funds that Would be used for the four-lane be spent down valley on correcting hazards and improving the road. The P & Z did not feel that it was most important to provide a four-lane into Aspen. The P & Z did not like the straight shot into Aspen. Councilman Knecht said the PCPA voted unanimously that if there were any' monies available, that money should be spent on down valley safety improvements. Councilman Knecht moved to not proceed with any more planning on the highway for the moment and to thank Tom wells and Pat Dobie for their work on this proposa, l'~,!seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, with the exception of Mayor Edel. .Motion carried. ASPEN COMMUNITY THEATRE Bonnie Witt, Aspen Community Theatre, told Council the Festival of Community Theatres is being revived in Colorado for the first time in five years, A.C.T. has an excellent play they are going to enter in the festival. A.C.T. is worried about the financial drain this may place on future shows. Ms, Witt said A.C.T. has not come before Council for money in a couple of years. A.C.T. is operating on a show to show basis. This is an opportunity A.C.T. would like to take advantage of. Mayor Edel said this group has been picked out to go to Denver and is an unique recognition. Mayor Edel said that A.C.T. does great work, and they have a possibility to go on to the regionals. Ms. Witt said this will be a road show, and they hope to take it around the state. Taking their play to Denver involves renting a truck and other expenses that A.C.T. cannot cover. Councilman Knecht said he felt the $1500 should have been applied for under the arts budget, and the Council examines the arts budget very carefully. Councilman Knecht questioned spending the arts budget on a show in Denver. Mayor Edel pointed out that A.C.T. puts on two or three shows a year and it is a big cultural event on a strictly local basis. Ail the people do this on a voluntary basis. Mayor Edel said this opportunity did not arrise until long after the arts budget was passed. Mayor Edel pointed out that Regular Meeting Aspen ulmy ~ouncmz ~eoruary z~, A.C.T. has only asked the city for money once. Mayor Edel said this group works long and hard for the community, and $1500 is a small amount for a good play. Councilman Collins moved to grant the request of Aspen Community Theatre for a contributioni of $1500; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, Mayor Edel abstained; motion carriedl. COLORADO COALITION FOR ALTERNATIVES TO PESTICIDES Lisa Scott and George Lilly are representing a group of citizens concerned about the use of herbicides in this area. Last year the county was trying to establish a weed control district and they were going to use Roundup for the thistles. This group found that the city was also going to use Roundup on the thistles. This group was especially concerned about the program around the Moore pool and volunteered to cut the thistles by hand, which they did. There is a health hazard associated with pesticides; there are known and unknown risks with these pesticides. Roundup creates skin and eye irritations, has been shown to create liver and kidney lesions and other symptoms. Jim Holland, parks director, told Council he only uses two chemicals, one is Roundup the other is 2-4-D. Ms. Lilly said these symptoms have been manifested in laboratory animals and the correlation to human beings is speculative. Mayor Edel said the only reason that the city allowed the use of pesticides is that there have been no alternatives shown. Mayor Edel said Council has been told that if thistles are allowed to proliferate, that they destroy other vegetation and destroy the water basin and dries up the land. Ms. Lilly pointed out that RoUndup kills everything; it is not a selective herbicide. Holland said the parks department only uses Roundup on thistles by spot treatment, by hand. Councilwoman Michael asked how the 2-4-D is used. Holland said the reason he uses two different herbicides is that Roundup is non-selective and kills all plant material. 2-4-D is selective and can be sprayed on dandelions and the rest of the vegetation lives. Councilman Knecht asked about using diesel oil on thistles. Lisa Scott said that diesel oil may cause an area to become so that water will not saturate and nothing will grow. Ms. Scott said they have come up with an alternative after talking to lots of people and to CSU. The problems here stem from not having covered ground and the weeds come. Ms. Scott said they have come up with an elimination and revegetation program. With the thistles, if you cut the buds it weakens the root system. Ms. Scott said this must be used with a revegetation program to put in a grass or something to compete with the weakened thistle. Holland told Council this is an exepensive program and an on-going program. Holland said he would be interested in looking at the results of what they did this spring. Holland said the parks department does not have an intensive weed control program; he budgets about $500 for this. This budget won't go far for hand cutting of weeds. Mayor Edel said if what Ms. Scott and Lilly are offering is successful, Council would examine it. Mayor Edel said right now he is not sure exactly what the program is. Mayor Edel suggested Ms. Scott and Lilly get together with Holland and city manager Chapman and come back in two weeks with a program that Council can evaluate. CONFLICT OF INTEREST City Attorney Taddune told Council that P & Z has found the existing ordinance pertaining to conflict of interest to be unworkable, perhaps not reflecting the state of the law as it exists. Taddune circulated material pertaining to the law regarding conflicts of interest. Taddune said he would like some time to come up with legislation that is more practical. Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary told Council he has been working with the P & Z on ex parte contacts and on the issue of conflict of interest. There are three levels of ex parte contacts. One is if a Council person is stopped on the street by anyone about some subject before the Council. This is an ex parte contact that does not have to be disclosed; it is a Councilmember discussing matters of public interest with a constituent. The next level would be disclosable, if an applicant or person closely connected on a matter before Council presently, outside the Chambers talks to Council about this matter is disclosable ex parte contact. A Board member should disclose this at a public meeting when all sides are present. The third level may involve some favors. Esary said the second issue is conflict of interest, the city's ordinance ~50, 1979, which essentially disqualifies a person belonging to a one-member professional firm from appear- ing on behalf of a client before his or her Board, even after they have declared a conflic~ of interest and have stepped down. Mayor Edel said there was much discussion about this ordinance, and if staff comes back with an ordinance, it should not be an easy law. Mayor Edel said conflict of interest has to be treated very delicately, even if this is a small town. Taddune said what the P & Z is trying to do is keep the high standards, but not make it impossible to work in this community and serve on city Boards. Perry Harvey, P & Z Chariman, told Council what the P & Z is concerned about is that serving on a voluntary board, when a person is a one-man professional office, is hurting the pocketbook because one cannot represent any applicant before their own Board. Harvey said this should not be true as long as one declares their conflict and steps down. Harvey said contacts and procedures should be defined. Bil Dunaway pointed out that Boards will look more favorably upon something presented by one of their own members. Mayor Edel agreed this is a key point in the ordinance. Mayor Edel asked the staff to come back with an ordinance. USE OF CITY VEHICLES City Manager Chapman presented a memorandum which outlined policy on use of city vehicles. Mayor Edel said he had felt strongly that this is an inappropriate method of compensa- tion; however, he has done some research on this, and has changed his mind. Mayor Edel said he worries about the appearance factor more than anything else, although he does not feel it is abused very much. Mayor Edel said at budget time, the Council should face the issue squarely. Councilman Parry pointed out that if the city pays the amount to compen- · ~=~=~ ~'~uz~9 Aspen City Council February 14, 1983 sate, the federal government takes it away. If the Council allows the use of an automobile the federal government does not take it away. Councilwoman Michael asked for an assessment of abuse of the policy. Chapman said at the department director level, there is no abuse, unless they are not supply gas commensurate with personal use of the vehicle. Chapman said the symbolic value of this benefit is much more important that the economic benefit. Chapman said the city insurance policy has $1,000 deductible and if an employee has an accident while using the car on personal time, they have to come up with the deductible. Council discussed exactly who had vehicle privileges. Chapman said the directors of streets, electric, water, environmental health, police, recreation, engineer, parks, transportation, assistant city manager have vehicles as well as the city manager and city attorney. Chapman said the city manager, city attorney and assistant city manager's cars are used by other city employees. Chapman said because of the good deal the city has on the leases, it is a savings to have employees take these cars on trips rather than paying mileage. Chapman said employees are responsible for gasoline and for insurance when using the vehicle for personal use. Councilman Knecht said that operational employee heads, people that have to use the vehicle for their job should have vehicles. Councilman Knecht said the balance of the employees, other than the city manager, should use one pool vehicle. Councilman Knecht said this is a misunderstood benefit and is not worth the criticism the Council receives. Councilman Collins would agree to continue the present policy but would like to see some definite statement in terms of the use and policy. Councilman Collins said this is an appropriate benefit. Councilman Parry said he would like to continue the present policy and also would like to see a statement in writing about vehicle use. Councilwoman Michael said she would like to see the benefit continued; it is tough enough to work for the city and to live in Aspen~ Mayor Edel said department directors that use their vehicles for the job should have a vehicle, and the others should not. Council's consensus is three to two to keep'the vehicle policy as is. MAROON BELLS BUS TOUR ~ · Monroe Summers introduced Greg Thompson with the forest service. Sum~S ~said they would like to solicit Council's approval for one more year of the Maroon Bells bus program. Summers said last year there were 32,500 riders, which was up 6 per cent over the previous year. The program has grown every year since its inception. Last summer CSU did a study of the acceptability of the Maroon Bells bus program, and 91 per cent of the individuals were very happy about the bus tour, the drivers and the information provided. Another statistic is that 68 per cent, if given the choice, would have opted to t~ the bus over their vehicle. Sunu~ers said this is due to the fact that this has been turned int~ ~ tour rather than just a bus ride. Summers said they have eliminated 10,000 vehicles fr.om the Maroon Creek road in July and August last year. Councilman Parry said this is a great program. Councilman Knecht saidi.~e, has heard great~ response to the program this summer. Summers said this program h~g~run in the black for '~ the last three years. Greg Thompson said there is a memorandum of ~eustanding saying there will be a bus system that the city and the forest service agrees to; the operating ~'~{'i![~7i plan may change from year to year. Summers said the forest service ~uggested and the staff recommends formalization of the agreements and operating plan that has been in the last couple of years. Councilman Knecht moved to pass the memorandum of understanding with the addendums; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. ZOLINE CONSERVATION EASEMENT City Manager Chapman told Council the city has been the beneficiary of conservation ease- ments from Joe Zoline. The Council needs to do an official action to accept these. Councilwoman Michael moved to accept the gift of a conservation easement from Joseph T. Zoline dated November 12, 1982, and December 1981 and authorize the city manager to accept said instrument of conveyance on behalf of the city; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Councilman Collins asked if these were being used for anything. Chapman said that agricul- tural use is probably the most active use allowable. All in favor, motion carried. RESOLUTION ~, SERIES OF 1983 - Commercial GMP Allocation Colette Penne, planning office, requested that the last WHEREAS on the first page be striken because year's quota can be borrowed. Ms. Penne recommended striking it; it does not preclude other competitiors. Councilwoman Michael moved to adopt Resolution #4, Series of 1983, as amended; seconded by Councilman Parry. Ail in favor, Councilman Collins abstained. Motion carried. NO NAME PARK City Manager Chapman reminded Council when Chuck Dunbar asked them to rename this park to Bugsy Barnard park, Council wanted to see how much it would cost to dress up the park. Jim Holland, parks director, submitted a memorandum explaining exactly how the $55,000 would be used to fix up the park. Mayor Edel suggested Chuck Dunbar be contacted to seek donations for this park. Chapman said the $55,000 is in the capital improvements budget. Mayor Edel said Dunbar should be contacted and get to work on the park.

ORDINANCE #3, SERIES OF 1983 - Water Rate ~ncrease Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Bil ~unaway said in light of a communcation from the city manager that the city budget is a~l right, he does not see the need to increase the water rates 10 per cent three months e~rly. Dunaway pointed out that forcing people to go on meters, will reduce the income oftlthe water department. Chapman told Council in the short run of getting someone off a ~lat rate onto a meter, the revenue stream may diminish; that is just one side of the financing of the water department. Chapman said the metering program works; people use les~ water when they have to pay for it in known quantities. What staff is recommending to[Council is to accept some shOrt term lessening of revenues, over the long run it will stretch out the capacity and capability of the physical plant. Chapman said the city wil~ save money by conserving the water. Chapman said the city has been working towards mandatory metering since 1976. Short of turning people's water off, the city has ~ make the cost of not going to a meter so onerous they will go to a meter. This institutes a flat rate surcharge increase from 50 per cent to 100 per cent. Mayor Edet requested that the residential users be given another year to go to meters. This woul~ tie the increase of the surcharge to the last date to go on meters. Commercial users ~ere to be metered by 1982. Mayor Edel suggested to amend the ordinance to give residential users until January 1, 1984 to go on meters. Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary pointsd out he added the hardship provision to the ordinance that Council requested.
