Transportation Consolidation. John Eldert told the Boardsthat the county plans to call ~ special election to coincide with the city's regular election on May 3, 1983. There will be two ballot questions submitted for approval; one for approual of a one per cent county cales tax increase to be used solely for the purpose of providing transportation within the county. The other question would request authorization for the issuance of sales tax revenue bonds in the amount of $1,800,000 to allow for the acquisition of buses, associated equipment and facilities. Eldert said the Commissioners will hold a special meeting tomorrow to consider the reso- lution setting the special election. There will be another meeting on March 21 in order to consider the ballot questions. Mayor Edel questioned the need for two separate question. Eldert explained that two separate questions were requested by the county,s bond counsel in order not to disenfranchise those who may support the debt authorization but oppose the tax increase. E~dert said another issue that has to be resolved is the way in which to relieve the city's seventh penny from its existing debt. Councilman Knecht agreed that one ballot question would be more appropriate and suggested it should be worded simply. City Manager Chapman suggested that the Board consider a Home R~le Charter amendment question to authorize debt specifically for the bus system for the duration of the sales tax. E~d~rt answered that a Charter amendment will be considered although bond counsel has indicated that two separate questions are necessary. The Council and Commissioner agreed to convene a special joint meeting on March 21, 1983, at 5:00 p.m. to review the specific ballot language. COUNCILMEETING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. Carolyn Doty, chairwoman for the committee to Preserve Open Space Fund~, said they would like to be on the agenda. Councilman Knecht moved to place this on the agenda; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. 2. Phoebe Ryerson said she has asked for repeatedly and have been promised a report on Pitkin Reserve trade offs and the shuffles in exchange for Smuggler trailer court. Chapman told Council he has been trying to set up meeting with the Pitkin Reserve people and Ms. Ryerson. Ms. Ryerson told Council she has already met with them and wants specific dates for things that have been done or have to be done. Ms. Ryerson said she wants a repot on what action has been taken by the government. Mayor Edel said the staff wo~ld put this together for Ms. Ryerson. 3. David Zaagman asked if Council intended to repeal the ordinance on campaign spending. City Attorney Taddune said it has been repealed ipso facto by court action. Taddune said he would get a specific ordinance to Council by the next meeting. 4. Monroe Summers requested a work session on the Rubey Park Visitor's Center. Council scheduled this for Thursday, March 17th at noon. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilwoman Michael said the streets are beginning to get full of potholes, especially the ones that are bus routes. It is getting impossible to navigate some of the streets. 2. Councilwoman Michael reiterated her concerns about multiple ballot questions. Mayor Edel agreed he would like to have one ballot question. City Manager Chapman said the staff will be working on this and trying to hash out the options. 3. Councilman Knecht said a couple of months ago, the Council authorized an expenditure for 50 new trash cans and an alley maintenance person. Councilman Knecht said he would like a report on this because the town. is rather trashy. City Manager Chapman said he will report back after talking to the parks d~rector. 4~C~ncilman Knecht said he would like the staff to get the Council room straigtened up. The microphones need to be fixed, there needs to be air conditioning, the flagpoles are empty. Councilman Collins pointed out that the carpet needs to be fixed. 5. Councilman Collins brought up the sidewalks on the Cas~te Creek bridge. There is dirt and mush and Councilman Collins said it makes him nervous when kids ride their bikes across the bridge. 6. Mayor Edel said City Attorney Taddune s~bmitted a letter to him about the status of the legal department. Mayor Edel said he felt this warrants examination by the Council and would like to set a speci&l meeting as soon as possible. Mayor Edel asked the staff to set this meeting up. 7. Mayor Edel said he was told that the city has to put another exit in the Wheeler build- ing. Mayor Edel asked how many times does the building department have to read plans to give someone a straight answer. Bill Drueding, building department, told Council he does not know all the details. Drueding pointed out the people that checked the plans and are most familiar with the building are no longer here. Councilman Collins said there have been changed made since the original plans. These plans are being looked at in light of the changes, and that might be the reason for the exit has come up. OPEN SPACE FUNDS Carolyn Doty said the committee to preserve open space funds has a petition with 429 signatures to present to Council in order to amend Section 7 of Ordinance #16, Series of 1970, which ordinance established the sixth penny sales tax. Ms. Doty said this is a citizens group, whose goal is to preserve the quality of Aspen by keeping the density down, by buying open space in the city as a creative measure, and by beautifying the open space with trails treets, etc. Ms. Doty said the reason this group initiated the petition is because the sixth penny sales tax was created to permit the purchase ofcopen space. Ms. Doty said the city's ten year plan for the land fund shows only $2,500,000 to be spent on land purchase, and the land fund has been committed to make capital improvements and to purchase parcels outside the city limits. The citizens group is asking that 75 per cent of the Sixth penny sales tax fund be freed up for open space acquisition in the city of Aspen. Ms. Dory requested that Council either amend Section 7 of Ordinance #16, Series of 1970, or mandate an election. City Manager Chapman said the fund only shows what has been authorized by bonds. This does not show what the city will actually do in land acquisition. It will be reasonable to expect within the next ten years that the city may spend up to $10,000,000. Councilman Knecht said the city may do the trail from the music tent to the music school; that is all out of the city. If the county let loose of North Star, the city may want to step in. This is all out of the city. Councilman Knecht said he did not have a problem going with the 75/25 per cent formula, but it will kill a lot of city programs that he feel are very important. Councilwoman Michael said Council has met previously with the parks people and promised them to use only 25 per cent of the sixth penny sales tax fund for anything other than open space. However, the city has funded the Wheeler renovation with the sixth penny. Chapman said if the Wheeler is countyed, this would be over the 25 per cent. Chapman said the budgets the city has approved in the past have been within the 25 per cent guide- line~,~ Councilman Collins said he felt the staff could meet with this group and put together a package to address the issues they are concerned about. Councilman Collins said he felt it is up to the city to ~eep the ball rolling on this. City Attorney Taddunei said he would meet with the committee to work out the language. AIR POLLUTION ORDINANCE Lee Cassin, environmental health department, told Council it is important to note that the particulate levels are unhealthful and do cause a visibility problems. Woodburning stoves cause about one quarter of the inhaleable, breathable particulates and are the health problems and the visibility problems. This ordinance does four things to address those problems. The ordinance encourages people to install low polluting devices by allowing as many of those devices per dwelling as people desire. The ordinance limits the number of high polluting devices that can be installed to approximately one per building. Ms. Cassin said the third thing in the ordinance is that there will be no new coal burn- ing devices; coal pollutes more than woods. The ordinance sets design standards for fire- places and wood stoves that improve the efficiency of the device. The ordinance also addresses restaurant grills. Any new restaurants that cook hamburger or high fat content meet have to put in a pollution device or switch to a type of grill that is available that does not pollute. Existing restaurants will have two years to replace their charbroilers. Ms. Cassin told Council the ordinance refers to the Oregon method of testing for stoves. This is a procedure to test how much emission each stove has. If a stove passes this, or some similar test, it will be on the acceptable list. The design standards in,the ordi- nance were written by the city engineering department. The also provide some recommenda- tions about how to operate the stoves and maximize safety. Ms. Cassin told Council there is no way to design an airtight fireplace, and that is why fireplaces are limited to one per dwelling. Councilman Parry said most of the air pollution comes from automobiles and does not want pages of laws to attach fireplaces but would rather go for automobiles. Ms. Cassin said that 25 per cent of the visible haze comes from woodburning devices. Councilman Knecht moved to read Ordinance ~12, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried.

Aspen City Council March 14, 1983 Bil Dunaway said people will not stop coming to Aspen if they don't have fireplaces in their rooms. They will stop coming to Aspen if the air pollution.lcontinues. Councilwoman Michael said she is not interested in throwing the entire concept away. Gary Esary pointed out that subparagraph b on page 6 having to do with resale should not be~ in the ordinance. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Parry, aye; Collins, nay; Michael, nay; Knecht, aye; Mayor Edel nay. Motion NOT carried. Councilwoman Michael said she would like to adopt this on first reading, but would like to address some changes. Councilwoman Michael suggested the Council express to Mayor Edel their concerns and ideas, and he can sit down with the staff and discuss this ordinances. Councilwoman MiChael moved to adopt on first reading Ordinance #12, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman Collins. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Knecht, nay; Michael, aye; Collins, aye; Parry, nay; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. ORDINANCE ~7, SERIES OF 1983 - Reduc&tion of Regulatory Requirements Alan Richman, planning office, said this is the ordinance Council has discussed in work session. It's aim is to reduce some of the steps in the city's review process along with Council's desire to streamline the land use code. There are four sections of amend- ment which would either give staff some reviews that are straightforward or would give reviews to P & Z which had previously taken place at both P & Z and Council. Richman alone ~' said the issue is whether these reviews should go to P & Z or to Council Mayor Edel said the final authority should be the City Council. Richman suggested i~f there was an appeal at P & Z level, the application could go to Council for final.~etermi~t~on Richman said the processes discussed in the ordinance are very strai~thforw~d~-isuch as · lot splits, lot line adjustments, some condominiumizations. These are all ~9. step processes, and in many cases those could be one step processes. City Attorney Taddune told Council there are instances where a project is suffici~nt!y intact that it can go straight to Council for approval. This ordinance gives the· planningi~ director the opportunity to refer to Council projects that should be expe~-i~ed. CoUncil-'~ woman Michael said the council has been asking for some process not only ~ ~c~'t do~n on~ the hastle factor for the application, but also the time factor for Cour%ci~l..~ CounCil also wants a predictable process for the public. Mayor Edel said he want the'0~d~hance~ l~aid out process by process exactly what applicant has to do. Council reques~L~ed attorney and planning department to redraft this ordinance and cOme back t~ ~ouncil. REQUEST FOR FUNDS - Reachout '~ Barbara Shaw told Council this is a newfly formed volunteer group to dea~ ~ ' ' ' bereavement support. They are requested $250 from the city. Councilman~arry said all donations and requests are handled during budget time in the fall. Councilman Parry said the Council is getting requests for funds about every other meeting, and it is blowing the budget. Councilwoman Michael said she felt the city cou.ld handle a $250 donation. Councilman Collins moved to approve the request for $250; seconded by CoU~ncilwoman Michael. Councilmembers Michael, Collins and Mayor Edel in favor; Councilmembers Knec~t and Parry opposed. Motion carried. Councilman Knecht said the only reason he voted against this is because it is not budget tine. It is a worthwhile project, but Council keeps giving out requests and cannot control the budget that way. ORDINANCE #8, SERIES OF 1983 - Water Tap Fee Increase Sheree Sonfield, finance director, said when Council approved the water management plan · in 1981, it included charging out all costs to water fund, tap fees and operating costs. This was to be determined on an EQR point system. When the Council increased the monthly charges, they did not want to increase the tap fees 50 per cent but wanted to phase this over a period of time. Ms. Sonfield told Council the staff looked at the minimum charge for each service area and began there. The costs are allocated by~ service area so that each customer is paying for their own improvements~ City Manager Chapman said the tap fees have not been increased. The staff has calculated the industrial price index has gone up 83 per cent in that time. The city has to get to the point where the prices are competitive and th~ new users are bearing their fair share of the expansion of the system. Chapman said the staff calculated about 35 per cent of the additional costs the city is incurring Was due to new users. Chapman said the staff wants to accomplish two things; one getting the actual tap fees up to the point where it is on a cost basis, and the other, getting it on an equity basis with the current users of the system to their proportion. Chapman said th~ city is committing to a 20 per cent increase. Next year's rate increase is a function of what will happen with the revenue this year. Councilman Collins moved to read Ordinance #8, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.

RESEARCH ON LEAD IN ASPEN SOILS David Boon, with CSU, and Mary Sue Kennington, Pitkin County Extension Director, presented a slide show to Council showing mine tailings and other encroachment on the soils. Boon told Council that due to the increase in population of the mountain resort communities there has been encroachment by the mine tailing. This has raised concern over contamina- tion of soils and the possible contamination of vegetables grown on these Soils. Evidence~ is now available which substantiates the potential health hazards resulting from ingestion of Contaminated soil. Boon told Council that lead contamination in Aspen is localized and often intense. In the summer of 1981, several garden soil samples were submitted to the CSU testing lab for routine soil analysis. Many of the samples were contaminated with high levels of lead and cadnium. The Pitkin County Extension director and Colorado State Department of Health were immediately notified. Since that time, the CSU soil testing lab has conducted an intensive investigation to determine the lead intake and accumulation in garden vege- tables grown on these contaminated soils. Boon said the CSU soil testing lab offered freel soil and water analysis to the residents of Pitkin County. Boon said there are generally six sources of lead contamination in soils. The first is tue to the widespread of lead arsenate as an insecticide in orchards. The second and most rare is contamination due to lead containing material. The third is from automobile emission. The primary source of lead in the inner city areas results from the weathering and peeling of homes painted with lead based paint. The final two sources of lead contamination is directly related to mining and smelting operations. The greatest amount of lead contamination in Aspen is the result of the mining and smelting activities conducted during the late 1800's. Boon said average lead levels that naturally occur in soils is about 10 parts per million. soil lead levels in excess of 500 parts per million pose a potential health risk to children. Lead levels in Aspen have been found to exceed 21,000 parts per million. The largest area of exposed tailings in Aspen is located in the Smuggler area. Considerable amount of these tailings are now covered by the Smuggler Tennis Club, Smuggler Trailer Court and the silverking complex. Aspen Mountain was extensively mined and tailings still exist all along the base of Aspen Mountain. Boon said many of the samples tested were contaminated. Over 58 per cent of the garden soil analyzed were highly contaminated. Boon recommended publicizing these results. This group will pursue coming up with code amendments to go before the P & Z, which will take several months. They will also pursue using manure on a volunteer basis to revege- rate some key locations. Council thanked the group and supported their efforts. ORDINANCE $5, SERIES OF 1983 - Rezoning Hotel Jerome and Final Plat Alan Richman, plnanning office, asked to table action for two weeks because there have been numerous changes ~equested by the engineering department as well as the city attorney~ The final plat is two weeks away from being acted upon. Tom Wells presented plans and drawings to the Council. Wells showed the location of the restaurants, the commercial areas, the garden, the arcade connecting the retail shops. Wells said the rooms in the existing building will be totally gutted and renovated on the upper~two floors. The number of rooms in the existing building will not increase but will be made standard rooms~ There are about 34 rooms now, there will be 28 renovated. Wells told Council there will be three levels abo~e the lobby in the new building, with one level depressed. This will allow for a transition from the residential neighborhood./'" There will be a meeting room facility. John Gilmore, owner of the Hotel Jerome, told Council this meeting room can hold between 300 and 350 depending on the set up. Wells told Council they plan to strip the paint off the old building and make architectural / repairs to the existing building. This will leave the building in way it originally wag. Wells said they will try to match the bricks for the new building. Wells said the in~nt is to create a quiet form of architecture in order to allow the existing building to/be dominant. ~eguzar meenzng aspen ~lny uouncl± Marcn ±~, ±~3 Wells told Council the primar~ entrance Will be the existing entrance on Main street and at the corner of Mill and Bleeker. There will be parking for service vehicles with room for two large trucks to back in to serve the building and will totally off the street. Richman told Council that condition (c), which is the applicant agreeing to participate with the city in a project to regard or improve Bleeker, came out of remarks from the public regarding Bleeker. It was P & Z's feeling that the applicant should pay some portion of the cost to regrade Bleeker if at some point it is found to be a problem. The city should, before there is any construction, try to identify what the vehicle accident rate is and what the problems are on Bleeker street. John Gilmore told Council when Mill street was improved, no attention was given to Bleeker. That compounded any problems the Hotel Jerome might have. Gilmore said his plan for the Jerome were known before the city did any owrk on Mill street. Gilmore said he has no objections to paying something for Bleeker, but he feels it is inequitable if it becomes excessive, which is a relative term. Art Daily, representing Gilmore, said that Bleeker street is not a situation of the applicant's making. The principle concern is how work- able is the truck de'livery. Councilman Parry said this project will have four on-site employee units and fifteen off- site employee units. Councilman Parry questioned the 35 off-site parking spots. Richman said the parking spaces have always been part of this approval and are hoped for in the Rio Grande area. City Attorney Taddune asked what security the Council wants with respect to the parking spaces. Does the Council want cash up front, a promissory note, a promissory note collateral±zed by a first deed of trust on the property. City Manager Chapman told Council ~hat in'meetings~with the ~applicant, it was pointed out the applicant would like to take advantage of the City's bonding capacity and interest rates. Gilmore said the city won't need security if the applicant pays up front cash for 60 parking spaces. If the applicant goes in with the developer of the parking garage, he will put out a 15 per cent equity. If there is an industrial development bond to fund the parking, the applicant would want to participate in that, which will mean the have to pay back the Hotel Jerome's share of the bonding over 15 years. It is Chapman's concern how that obligation is secured over the 15 years. Gilmore said he can participate in the parking program is he has an equal leverage basis~ the real question becomes the security question. If Gilmore has $16,000,000 invested in the project, but does not have the parking, the $16,000,000 is not worth anything. Gilmore told Council if he is required to give a first lien on the property before anything else for the parking, he will not build a Hotel Jerome. Chapman pointed out if the City does not build the parking garage, the applicant will have to finance the acquisition of parking spaces as part of the development costs. What the applicant is trying to do is take advantage of the city's low interest rates. Mayor Edel said somwhere in the agreement there has to be a guarantee for the city for the $600,000 for the parking. Richman told Council the reason for condition f is not to impose all kind of ipso facto conditions~on Gilmore but to make sure Gilmore knows he has requirements and that all the conditions be met. Richman said he did not want to get to the point where the Hotel Jerome is finished and ready to be occupied, and the applicant has not met all the conditions. Mayor Edel opened the public hearing and continued it to March 28, 1983.
