'-JOINT MEETING WITH COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. Mayor Edel called the meeting to order at 4:05
p.m. with Commissioners Madsen, Blake, Kinsley, Klanderud and Child and Councilmembers
Micahel, Knecht, Collins and Parry present.
1. Transportation Consolidation. Commissioner Madsen introduced a joint reolution of
intent to jointly support the passage of two county ballot questions regarding transpor-
tation services and facilities for the election May 3, 1983. Madsen explained that the
resolution would reaffirm the cooperation between the two governments, while encouraging
the participation of all registered electors in the county. Mayor Edel noted that the
resolution encouraged such participation to render the election valid if a majority were
in favor of the ballot questions. ~.~ayor Edel requested the deletion of the phrase, "if
a majority be in favor of thequ~tions at said election", so that the resolution would
encourage only the participation of all registered electors.
Councilman Knecht moved approval of the joint resolution as amended by Mayor Edel; seconded
by Commissioner Kinsley. All in favor, motion carried.
2. Smuggler Area Improvements. Jay Hammond, engineering department, said t~t the city
and county engineering departments have drafted a schedule for the variour improvements
in this area, including the replacement of the Mill street bridge, upgrading of several
roads, etc. The staff has identified improvements to be done this summer and would like
a joint study session to address the issue of funding. The Boards scheduled a joint study
session on Wednesday, Mayr 4, 1983, at 12:11 p.m. in the Council Chambers.
Aspen City Council April 25, 1983
3. Ruedi Reservoir - Environmental Assessment. Commissioner Klanderud presented the
environmental assessment preapred by the Bureau of Reclamation for the second round of
water sales from Ruedi reservoir. The environmental assessment, which identifies several
alternatives with respect to the sale of water from the reservoir, was reviewed by the
Ruedi Water and Power Authority. The RWPA examined the EA and drafted a resolution
indicating the preferred water marketing alternative.
This resolution specifies that certain alternatives should be eliminated from consideration.
Those include the development of a peak load hydroelectric power plant, a "paper limit"
on the capacity of the reservoir, maximum water sales, and others. Of the ten alternatives
identified by the BOR, alternatives six through 10 were considered the most preferable, and
specifically, alternatives six was considered the most appropriate. The latter marketing
method was felt to be the best balance use of Ruedi reservoir as such would provide for
a high, consistent level of water sales, the best fishflows, an acceptable rish to on-
reservoir recreation, and relatively good hydroelectric power poten~al. Ms. Klanderud
explained that the resolution was presented to and endorsed by the other members of RWPA.
It was considered imperative that RWPA reach an agreement on the issues identified in the
resolution and that a unified response to the EA be identified on that basis.
Commissioner Child moved approval of the resolution; seconded by Ms. Klanderud. Ail in
favor, motion carried.
Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the resolution; seconded by Councilman Parry. A~ll
in favor, motion carried.
4. Executive Summary: Growth Management Policy Plan Revisions. Sunny Vann, planning
director, presented a summary on revisions to the gorwth management policy plan. This
GMPP revision will be available for review by by P & Z next month and then referred to the.
Board and Council for adoption. Vann said the policy plan revision is based upon various
studies conducted by the planning office and other agencies over the past several years,
including the Aspen Area general plan, the land use code, various transportation studies,
growth management plan, and others, with the GMP being considered the primary component.
The planning office has reviewed growth in the community since the adoption of the GMP
and compared such to the original policy plan. This exercise has indicated that the
objectives identified in the original plan have not been met, and it is considered impor-
tant that these objectives be reiterated within the revision.
Alan Richman, planning office, said the policy plan was adopted by both the city and county
in 1977. The GMP while emphasizing the qualify of life goals and community balance was
drafted on the basis of a very successful local economy; the policies contained therein
did not focus on economic development at all, rather, methods to address growth managementl
Local economic conditions have since changed, and it is now considered important that the
GMP be responsive to the economic needs of the community by providing incentives for
upgrading and otherwise strengthening the economic climate of both the city and county as
a year-round resort community. Richman noted the planning office consideres updating
necessary to address the economic needs of the community, the prioritization of capital
investments, public facilities and ski expansion.
COUNCIL MEETING
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
1. Liz Johnson, Smuggler Mountain Park, told Council she wanted to correct some miscon-
ceptions that have come up during the process of the Smuggler master plan. Ms. Johnson
said everyone seems to think that the former owners are paying for all the improvements.
Ms. Johnson said this is not true, $2500 of the purchase price goes towards the improve-
ments, for a total of $217,000. Anything over that, the trailers owners split with the
park owners; the trailer owners pay 48 percent, the park owners pay 52 per cent. This
is costing the trailer owners about another $140,000. Ms. Johnson told Council that Lipkin
did not agree to pave the roads.
~s. Johnson said the trailer owners cannot do anything about the roads until the drainage
problem is corrected. There is no money to pave the roads. Ms. Johnson said the trailer
owners would like to work with the city to get the roads paved. Hammond said the drainage
plan is part of the study session with the Commissioners. Han~mond said whether or not
the drainage system gets done, the engineering department will be in a position to know
where to tie the system in. Hammond said in the worst case, the roads may get paved,
install the drainage system and cap it until the master system is in place in another year.
Mayor Edel said he would favor helping the trailer owners by bonds from the city. City
Manager Chapman said the city has made that help clear to the developers from the beginning.
The city would be willing to form an assessment district or help with bonds.
Councilwoman Michael asked if the trailer owners let the developer out of his obligation
to pave the road. Ms. Johnson said the developer threatened to withdraw his submission,
so this was left hanging. The developer did agree to co-sign the loan, but the money for
roads is not availabe. Councilman Collins said he thought all the details were part of
the agreement with the developers and city and trailer owners. Chapman said he would go
over the agreement with the developers and trailer owners to see who is responsible for
what.
2. Tom Byers told Council he wants to set up a job service center in Aspen and would like
to use space at the school or at the community center. Mayor Edel said the Council does
not have a~5~thing to do with the school or the community center. The Council has no
space that has not already been committed. Byers asked Council if they would be interested
in funding a phone and a small advertising budget. Mayor Edel suggested that Byers get
the space first, as the Council has gone through this process before and it seems to fall
through in a short time. Mayor Edel suggested if Byers get this program together, to
present it to City Manager Chapman who will refer it to Council.

COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS
1. Councilman Parry said the chairs are again disappearing out of the Council Chambers
and asked staff to round them up again.
2. Councilwoman Michael said there is a joint P & Z meeting tomorrow on the Smuggler area
plan, and suggested anyone who could attend do so.
3. Councilman Knecht thanked City Manager Chapman for his letter to the Skiing Company .
about the problem with the Ski Company bus funds. Councilman Knecht asked for an explana-
tion where the funds originally came from. City Manager Chapman told Council the Skiing
Company, as part of the payment to the city for services to the Skiir~Company, were
required as part of the payment to take a maximum of $70,000 a year and put that aside for
a bus maintenance facility. The Skiing Company believes that the city should have invested
those funds in a separate escrow accountlfrom the moment the city received. Chapman said
there is no contractual obligation that states the method of investing the funds in escrow.
Chapman said at the end of the year, that $70,000 was set aside in a separate account.
The money was invested at the end of the year rather than the beginning. There have been
interest earnings, but the Skiing Company is saying there should be more than there is.
4. Mayor Edel asked about the Marolt purchase. City Manager Chapman told Council the
purchase price on Marolt is $2,100,000 to be paid $1,800,000 at closing in 1983. $300,000
is a balloon payment due in five years with 12 per cent interest being paid year each for
those five years. For the next four years after 1983, the city pays $36,000 a year and in
the fifth year the city pays $336,000. Chapman told Council depending on how they want to
pay for the $4,000,000 authorization, they have some options. Council can set aside the
total cost of the Marolt purchase out of the $4,000,000, or just pay the 1983 obligation
and pay $36,000 a year out of cash flow from the land fund and $336,000 in five years and
figure that out in five years.
ORDINANCE ~12, SERIES OF 1983 - Air Pollution
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing.
Lee Cassin, environmental health department, told Council this ordinance was developed by
the Clean Air Advisory Board and her office in an attempt to solve the air pollution
problem in Aspen and Pitkin County. Ms. Cassin said there is visual pollution as well as
some inacceptable air standards. Ms. Cassin said the staff has made some changes in the
ordinance at the suggestion of Council. The resale clause, which required someone selling
their house to bring the woodburning device into compliance, was deleted. The date at
which no new coal burning device can be installed has been changed to June 1, 1984. The
penalty clause has been changed so there is discretion as to what the penalty is, rather
than a minimum of $50 and maximum of $500. City Attorney Taddune said the previous
language might have been in violation of the Colorado constitution.
Ms. Cassin said the definition of high fat content meant has been changed to make it more
clear and has also been added to the definition section. Severa~ types of meat have been
named in the ordinance as high fat content meat. The staff is recommending using a cutoff
of 15 per cent fat, which is the rationale cutoff. Ms. Cassin said people can put in one
woodburninq unit of any type; the additional units have to be low polluting stoves. Ms.
Cassin has provided a list of these to the building department.
Margaret Albouy said she is concerned about this ordinance because if one cannot use coal
and cannot use wood, all that is left is natural gas to heat one's home. Ms. Cassin said
people can use coal if they are already using it. People can use woodburning stoves. Ms.
Albouy said she is concerned about natural gas because of the cost and because a lot of
people are allergic to natural gas. Ms. Cassin told Council there have been numerous
studies showing that~ coal pollutes more than wood and wood pollutes hundres times more
than natural gas. Councilman Parry pointed out in the 1977 report, 97 per cent of the
particulates are conyributed by the automobile. Councilman Parry said it is the automobile
that is doing the polluting, and this is going after the wrong device. Councilman Parry
said he feels this ordinance is impossible to police. Ms. Cassin pointed out that not all
particulates are harmful, of the ones that damage health 29 per cent come from woodburning.
Councilman Knecht said he would rather go with a system like Vail, that during inversion
people do not light their fireplaces. Councilman Knecht said he does not want to limit
people's ability to use solif fuel burning devices. Councilman Knecht said he is in
favor of the part about restaurant grills.
Councilman Knecht moved to approve Ordinance 912, Series of 1983, taking out the part about
solid fueld burning devices; seconded by Councilman Parry.
Dr. Harold Whitcomb said people have to look at pollution in the country and what it is
doing to people's health. Dr. Whitcomb told Council he has been able to treat a lot of
patients by providing clean air. Dr. Whitcomb said he had tested some chemically sensitive
people, and the confusion from the outside air had to be eliminated before the testing
could be completed. Whitcomb said Aspen is not as clean as people would like to think it
is. Whitcome said people are being exposed to many things, which are having a signficant
effect on well-being. Whitcomb said to ignore the potential ~erious consequence of pollu-
tion has already become a human tragedy. Whitcomb said any compromise with pollution is a
disaster. Reducing pollution in the outdoors will make things better overall. Whitcomb
said Aspen should be sold as a clean air resort.

~egu±ar Meeting Aspen City Council April 25, 1983
INITIATIVE PETITION
Carolyn Dory recommended the petition be passed as is. During the last few weeks, they
have gained support from the candidates. City Attorney Taddune told Council there is a
group of citizens proposing Council adopt an ordinance. Council may adopt this ordinance
or they may refer it to the electorate. If Council decides to adopt the ordinance, they
may make changes as long as the initiative committee agrees with the change. Taddune
recommended this be referred to staff for a formal analysis and a statement as to what
the recommendations would achieve. City Manager Chapman told Council said the big change
in this proposed ordinance seems to be that the lands the city buy be either within city
limits or contiguous thereof or annexed coincident with the purchase. Chapman said this
change would limit the scope of the city's purchasing activity. Chapman said the staff
should sit down with the initiative committee to go over the 75/25 spending requirement to
make sure everyone is coming from the same place.
Mayor Edel said he is concerned about the long term effect that pieces of property may
come up that are available for purchase and the county does not have the funds to purchase
this property. The city may be left with opportunities going by. Councilman Parry agreed
with this position. Councilwoman Michael said the Council has made commitments to the
parks association about spending the sixth penny money and has held to the 75/25 spending
limitations for thre~ years. Councilwoman Michael said she is concerned about the flexi-
bility of the sixth penny. Mayor Edel said the city's current agreement on the open space
funds if 75 per cent of the sixth penny for acquisition; 25 per cent for improvements and
maintenance. Mayor Edel said he feels this oridnance would be creating an inhibiting
factor in the sixth penny that is unnecessary.
Councilman Knecht moved that Section 7 of Ordinance ~16, Series of 1970 be and is hereby
amended to read as follows, per the last paragraph on the initiative petition; seconded
by Councilman Collins.
Councilman Knecht moved to read Ordinance #25, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman
Collins. The form of the ordinance is incomplete; it is in the form of an initiative
petition. All in favor, with the exception of Mayor Edel. Motion carried.
Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance #25, Series of 1983, on first reading; seconded
by Councilman collins. Taddune told Council finance director Sheree Sonfield has concerns
about the language as written and would like time to examine it and speak with the open
space committe about exactly what they are trying to accomplish. Taddune said he would
take this time to put this into ordinance form.
Councilwoman Michael moved to table this issue to May 9, 1983; seconded by Councilman
Parry. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Knecht. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE #19, SERIES OF 1983 - Satellite Dishes

ORDINANCE #15, SERIES OF 1983 - Purchase of Marolt Property
City Attorney Taddune said this agreement has been changed. The Marolt homestead and the
out buildings will be conveyed to the city. This also includes the revised offer and
indemnification language, and to assure that the city can acquire the water rights, which
the city's water attorney is looking into. The sellers have agreed to convey whatever
water rights they have. Taddune said this is basically the same agreement discussed at
the last Council meeting.
Regular Meeting Aspen ~lty Uouncl± ~pr~ zD, ~
Taddune told Council the agreement gives Opal Marolt a license to occupy the homestead
for three years. Taddune said this agreement is contingent upon the seller going through
the subdivision process; there is a question of who will be responsible for the land use
fees. This agreement is indirectly contingent upon Marolt's offer to donate 10 acres to
the city. Taddune said the donation from the ~arolts will occur 30 days prior to the city
purchasing the land. The concern ~s to keep both transactions separate from one and other.
Attorney for the Marolts said they hoped the city would waive the land use fees because it
is in the bes~ interst of the city and the Marolts.
Mayor Edel said the person selling land does have to bear the responsibility for the costs
of doing business. Attorney for the Marolts said these fees would be about s1500. Mayor
Edel said he thought this was a cut and dry process. Taddune said there will be a public
hearing at the P & Z, to go over the SPA and to approve a subdivision that is different
from the one on the property now. City Manager Chapman said the city c~ld waive the fees
Councilwoman Michael moved to absorb the cost of the land use fees; seconded by Councilman
Collins. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Knecht. Motion carried.
Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing.
Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance ~15, Series of 1983, on second reading; seconded
by Councilman collins. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Michael, aye; Collins, aye; Knecht,
aye; Parry, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried.
JULY 4th ARTS FESTIVAL
Monroe Summers told Council the Community Center has been working to put together an
arts festival for the Fourth of July. Summers said a number of sites have been discussed
for this event; this site includes Herron and Creekside park. This site was chosen ~o
remove the activity from the downtown core and to alleviate feelings of the downtown
merchants about-vending in the commercial core. The CCLC has voted in favor of recommend-
ing this activity take place. Mayor Edel asked who would receive the prcfits from this
event. Les Ware told Council the Community Center would receive the majority of the
profits; he will get a small percentage for his services to put this evsn5 together.
Ware said he is contacting non-profit groups to see if they wan~ to run food and beverage
stands, and they would get the money from these stands.
Mayor Edel said he is concerned about the downtown merchants and how they feel about this
type of event, and food and beverage stands. Councilwoman Michael said the fact that this
will not be held right downtown will take some sting away. People will have to make a
real effort to attend this event; there should be some type of food available. Councilman
Knecht said he is in favor of the arts fair, and thinks it is a great idea. Councilman
Knecht said for the first year, he would rather not see any food and beverage booths.
Councilman Parry said he is in favor of this, and would also like to see a few food and
beverago booths. Councilman Parry suggested Summers contacting some downtown merchants
to see how they feel about this. Councilwoman Michael said the Council ought to let this
event go on the level it can be successful.
Summers suggested having public hearing on this event, getting the names and addresses of
the neighborhood. Ware said he needed to get applications to the artists and qet the
event in motion.
Councilman Parry moved to approve the Fourth of July Arts Festival for Herron and Creek-
side parks, the food and beverage concessions subject to Summers report and public input;
seconded by Councilman Collins. Mayor Edel said this will be on the nex~ agenda for
input from the public.
Councilwoman Michael asked that the people putting on this event pay special attention to
the parking, including cordoning off Oklahoma flats and not allowing parking. This area
is a neighborhood. Ware said the plan is to have the parking ~n ths Rio Grande parking
area. Summers read a statement from parks director, Jim Holland, about damage to the
park and to the trails. Holland pointed out this area has always been very passive. Ware
said they have discussed putting down a deposit against any parks damage.
All in favor, motion carried.
PARDEE/WEDUM LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT
Lee Pardee said he would like this lot line adjustment because the person owning the lot
in front of him is right in front of his view and the view from the Rio Grande. They
have proposed to trade land with some area, and this will be open space and no one can
ever build there. Pardee said he feels this will benefit everyone; the new house cannot
be seen. The new house will have the same FAR.
Councilman Knecht moved to approve the requested lot line adjustment, subject to the
conditions 1 and 5 in the planning office memorandum of April 25, 1983; seconded by
Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried.
