Commissioner Klanderud called the meeting to order at 4:10 p.m. with Commissioners Child, Madsen, and Blake and Councilmembers Knecht, Collins, Michael and Parry and Mayor Edel present. Harry Truscott presented the legal documents for establishment of the 3oint City/County Housing authority. There is a resolution and an intergovernmental agreement. Truscott presented a budget as part of this. The task force recommended a two Person office; however, the Boards wanted a three person office. The budget shows revenues an~ expenditures. There may be some additional revenues to be discussed. The budget presents a $116,000 operating office. One of the methods of funding may be the reserves for Midland Park and Lone Pine. There is a $250,000 reserve for Lone Pine and $227,000 for Midland Park, both of which would generate about $25,000 a year. A portion of these reserves could be utilized to fund the joint office on an annual basis. Truscott also suggested that the Boards comsider utilizing a portion of the park dedica- tion fees to fund the housing office, as well as proceeds from GMP reviews. Council could also consider using the $30,000 annual payment for the lease of the Castle Ridge property for the housing office. City Manager Chapman said the city has been spending approximately $25,000 a year for housing service. The agreement has been drafted such that each entity would be responsi- ble for the work it generates. Jim Hamilton, housing director, told the Boards that the work renting Castle Ridge will be about $8,000 this year. The housing office is contracti ~g with the city to do the resales at Smuggler and the new sales, which will be about $5,000. Hamilton said all work that is directly attributable to the city is charged to the city and that work attributable to the county is charged to the county. Commissioner Klanderud asked about the private sector doing the marketing. Hamilton said that could reduce the office to a two-person office. Hamilton said there are some viable proposals from the private sector to do the marketing. However, that would scratch the revenues that the housing office would get from the sales~ Klanderud said the Boards need to decide what they expect the housing office to do. If the housing office is to serve as some referral a~ency for the planning department, when should they charge for that. If the city and county appoint this Board of Directors to be the combined authority, the housing director will work under them. They will decide the functions, duties and responsibilities to be carried out by the housing office. Councilwoman Michael noted that the Housing Authority would be joint appointed by the Board and the Council and asked if the appointments would be made by a simple majority of those voting. The Board and Council decided they should be precluded from membership on the Housing Authroity. Mayor Edel suggested that Council appoint two members, the Commissioners appoin~ two members, and the fifth members would be appointed jointly. Mayor Edel said when this first started, it was going to cost almost nothing. This proposal will cost the city between $25~000 and $30,000 a year. Mayor Edel said he was against that. Councilwoman Michael moved to amend the intergovernmental agreement that the Board of Directors include two directors appointed by the Council; two directors appointed by the Commissioners and the fifth member to be appointed jointly; seconded by Commissioner Child. All in favor, motion carried. Commissioner Child moved to amend the agreement that one appointment by the Council and one appointment by the Board and the joint appointment shall be for two year terms, and one appointment by the Board and one appointment by Council shall be for a one year term; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Collins moved to amend the agreement that at least two members of the Board of Directors shall be residents of the City of Aspen; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. Commissioner Child moved to amend the agreement that employees of the housing department not be eligible for appointment to the Board of Directors; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. Councilwoman Michael asked if, in adopting this intergovernmental agreement, the Boards are committing to the budget attached. City Manager Chapman explained the city is only committing to expenses attributable to the city and will be credited any revenues. The city and county will share whatever cannot be attributed on a direct cost basis. Mayor Edel said the city will have to budget at least S50,000 for the housing office. Commissioner Klanderud said she is reluctant to approve the budget at this time as there are too many variables. Commissioner Klanderud moved to amend the intergovernmental agreement by striking the paragraph about the 1983 budget on page three; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. Klanderud and Michael in favor, all the rest opposed. Motion NOT carried. Commissioner Klanderud moved to approve the joint resolution of the Aspen City Council and Board of County Commissioners amending the method of appointment of the City and County Housing Authority; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, with the exception of Mayor Edel. Motion carried. Mayor Edel said he opposed this resolution as he had not had sufficient time to review the documentation and also feels that the housing office will require more city funding than has been indicated. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the intergovernmental agreement as amended previously with the following amendment; paragraph 5 of the agreement "Accounting, Reports and Audit" indicate that the city shall pay to the county monthly 1/12th of its share of the attached 1983 budget, in lieu of 1/6; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Ail in favor, with the exception of Mayor Edel. Motion carried. The other two items, Restaurant Grill Ordinance and Proposed Woodburning Regulations were put off until November 22, 1982. COUNCIL MEETING CITIZEN PARTICIPATION There were no comments. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Mayor Edel said at the last meeting he vented anger at the radio and said he felt it was inappropriate. COG ANNUAL REPORT Gary Martinez, the new executive director of COG, told Council he has been with COG for four years. Martinez said he felt it was time to look at the organization and to reassess the goals of COG. Martinez went over the COG programs. CETA will now be called "Job Partnership ~raining Act". There will be less money spent at the local government level. The private sector is being challenged to put up half the money. The Emergency Medical Services program as actually over wath, it expired June 30th. Communications equipment is being received under this program. Martinex said this program has been very effective, they have bought ambulances and have done training. Martinez told Council that COG was involved in the aging program, which included meals served at the community center for senior citizens. The weatherization program provides insulation for low income primarily senior citizens. Martinez said COG has been lookang at transportation around his region and the ski areas. Ski Country USA and others tried to put together a guide for ski areas, which was not very successful. Martinez will be working the Ski Country USA to get the information guide out to travel agencies across the country. The telecommunications project is funding for a telecommunications van which will have production capabilities. This van will go throughout the region taping infor- mation and training and wilI~ be able to rebroadcast over cable network. Jerry Dahl is the counsel for COG, and was hired primarily to defend lawsuits and work on water programs. Dahl has been working on some eastern slope diversion cases. Lawsuit! have been filed challenging the authority of loca2 governments to do anything with water rights. Dahl said he is making some progress in this area. There was a break through in the WMS Fork case; the judge ruled that counties have the authority to require a permit; this is being appealed. There was a major victory in the Windy Gap settlement. Dahl sai( the COG office has provided the City of Aspen with some research on the Aspen Post lawsui~ Martinez told Council COG will report to Aspen and local governments on a quarterly basis REPORT ON CHILD CARE CENTER Dr. Barnett read a letter to Council from Happy Abbott about the needs of children and ~ the need for a day care center. Dr. Barnett told Council that many parents have worked with him, the present day care center shared information, the problem they face. Dr. Barnett presented a report to Council and stated that from the data the committee collect, , there is clear evidence there is a need for more quality day care an this community. The current providers of day care are probably meeting the need of 1/3 5o 1/2 of the popula- tion. Dr. Barnett said some coops have been set up, but there are a lot of difficulties. Many coops are set up on an exchange basis, some people on their day off are taking care of 4 to 7 children. There is a segment of the community making do, but they are doing it under adverse conditions. Dr. Barnett pointed ou~ it is very costly to run a day care center, especially for the younger children. Dr. Barnett said the biggest need right now is for the youngest children. For children under one, there are not licensed fa~iliti s. Dr. Barnett said space is a big problem as well as finding quality child care providers. Also trust needs to be developed with the parents, which only happens over a period of time and developing a reputation for being quality providers. Dr. Barnett said people in the child care business need support from the community to be successful. Dr. Barnett said one of the recommendations is an organization be mandated to be responsible for child care in this community. An organization needs to carry through on this. If Council supports this idea, Dr. Barnett said he would be willing to go to Snowmass Town Council and the County Commissioners with the same report. This organization should consist of child care providers with an advisory board principally made up of working parents. Dr. Barnett told Council the committee feels that day care providers meeting the needs of working parents should receive support. This should be done with the city and county helping the providers with space requirements. The business community should set up scholarshaps and funds to support the working families that cannot afford the costs. Dr. Barnett said child care costs from $14 to $20 a day, depending upon~ the age of the child. Dr. Barnett said this community has been moving strongly in the direction of being a family community. This community has worked hard to stablize employment and to provide employee housing. Councilwoman Michael said this is an excellent report but wanted clarification on the goals of the organization. Dr. Barnett said the first purpose is to support new providers for day care, to find space, to fin~ scholarships. Laura told Council this group is trying to encourage private enterprise to help out. Dr. Barnet said the best way to get governments involved is to have them give space. Mayor Edel said that is one of the most difficult things to do; it is easier to allocate money. Council- ~ man Knecht said he is for the idea, but the thrust has to come from the committee to the Council. The Council needs to know what the committee wants. Dr. Barnett said he was not too explicit so that the government could decide how they wanted to handle ~his. The specific goals of the organization are (1) to encourage expansion of current providers into areas of need; (2) get new facilities to provide care for the children who are not currently being taken care of. Mayor Edel asked that the com/nittee come back to Council with some specific suggestions and also go to Snowmass and the County to see if they will support the idea. Councilman Knecht suggested starting a task force on child care and add one Councilmember and a Commissioner, if they are interested. Councilwoman Michael moved to accept with gratitude the report on child care alternatives in Pitkin County; ask that the committee report to Pitkin County and the Town of Snowmass; and request that staff look at the report and suggest a specific course of action and to constitute a task force; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. THRIFT SHOP - REQUEST FOR FUNDING Sheree Sonfield, finance director, told Council the Thrift Shop building will cost S100,00b; they have saved $35,000 and are requesting a $10,000 from the city. The $55,000 balance they hope to get from private funding and civic or~anizat±ons. Ms. Sonfi~ld reminded Council the previously waived the utility hook up, which is valued at $2,000. Mayor Edel asked if the Thrift Shop had tried to get the banks to make a favorable loan. Karen Kashinski, representing the Thrift Shop, told Council they have tried and did not get a good offer. Ms. Kashinski said there is a possibility of working with the Elk's and Eagle's for some funding. Ms. Kashinski said they would like to pay off the debt as soon as possible to start helping the community. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve a donation of Sl0,000 for the Thrift Shop; seconded by Councilman Collins. Ms. Kashinski said with the new building, the Thrift Shop will increase their hours a~d days of operation. Councilman Knecht asked where the money would come from. City Manage~ Chapman said it could either come from the 1982 operating surplus or Council could budget it for 1983. Chapman told Council one of the goals in financial planning in the general fund is to try to come up with a surplus that will be available in the event of a low snow year. Chapman said the general fund is a bit ahead of schedule. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~39, SERIES OF 1982 - Eagle's NeSt Rezoning to RBO Colette Penne, planning office, pointed out this is an already built structure that is applying for a rezoning to RBO in order to build two employee units. This does change the occupancy level, which requires additional parking spaces. The employee units will be in the moderate level. Rezoning this will bring the structure into conformity. Ms. Penne told Council the applicant has agreed to amend their condominium documents such that parking spaces will be provided when the other unit sells, if the buyers want the additional parking. John Kelly told Council they have amended the condominium map to show two additional parking spaces and will add them if the occupancy of the building warrants. Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Janet Garwood, a neighbor, told Council she would prefer that the landscaping remain rather than more parking and therefore, do not want the employee units. Ms. Garwood said the house is oversized. Ms. Penne said the parking for the employee units can be exempted from the parking requirements. Carol Blomquist said any more parking would rip up what landscaping there is. Ms. Blomquist said letting this slide through on an RBO is a slap in the face of city laws. Gordon Denton said the neighborhood feels the increase of people living in this structure is unbearable. Denton said there will be cars. This street is a congested street during the season and buses use this street. John Kelly told Council a duplex requires six parking spaces, which is there. Kelly said four of these are stacked parking. Stacked parking is permitted with a duplex but is not · permitted with a fourplex. Kelly said he felt tha~ six parking places is adequate. Ms. Penne said when this went to P & Z, they required four parking spaces. At Council's first look at this, Council said two. Kelly sent a letter stating they will amend their condo minium map to show two additional parking spaces. Kelly said they would like to not build them unless complaints are made to the city that these are needed. Council requested that this be added to the ordinances. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing. Councilman Parry moved to adopt Ordinance ~39, Series of 1982, as amended on second reading; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Collins, nay; Parry, aye; Michael, aye; Knecht, nay; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. ORDINANCE #52, SERIES OF 1982 Timesharing Councilman Parry moved to read Ordinance #52, Series of 1982; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. All in favorv motion carried. ORDINANCE ~52 (Series of 1982) Timesharing Ordinance Alice Davis, planning office, said when this~was first presented, the ordinance was tabled as not all Council was present. Councilman Knecht agreed he would like to see this go to public hearing. Mayor Edel said he has many questions about this ordinance and would like to have a study session to go over the ordinance. Mayor Edel said this is an very important issue for Aspen and the committee has worked very hard. Councilman Parry moved to adopt Ordinance ~52, Series of 1982, on first reading; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. Roll call vo~e; Councilmembers Parry, aye; Michael, aye; Knecht, nay; Collins, nay; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. Council scheduled a work session for Thursday~ November 18, at 5:00 p.m. on timesharing. ORDINANCE ~53, SERIES OF 1982 - GMP Exemptions Alan Richman, planning office, reminded Council they have had work sessions and individual discussions. The memorandum points out the changes in the ordinance since first readin~ and responses to Council's concerns. Richman said the purpose of this ordinance is not to create new regulations; it is to provide alternatives to competition within the develop ment quota system. This ordinance adds no new exemptions; based on the work session, the planning office removed some review processes. _ Richman said the key issue is including employee housing within the quota system itself. The data presented to P & Z and Council is supportIve of including this employee housing within the quota. Richman pointed out that on a 70/30 or 100 per cent employee project, Council has the ability to exempt those units from the competition. Mayor Edel requested that a 100 per cent project must be exempt. Richman said there is a provision in this ordinance that if all the quota is used up, 20 per cent of the existing quota or eight units are automatically available for free market competition for matching by employee housing. The planning office has changed this provision in second reading to 12 units available. Vann said over the long term, the city has a growth rate tied to the overall number of units that can be accommodated in this community, regardless of whether they are free market or employee. Vann told Council that all the quotas are based on the current situation; the growth management system is a dynamic one. The planning office will monito the ~quotas and report to Council annually. Councilman Knecht said from the memorandum, it looks like there are 109 residential units available. Richman said that's right, some quotas have expired. Councilman Knecht asked if the Council could do with residential what they did with commercial quota and have it self-destruct. Richman said that ~s an option; the planning office hoped to continue to deduct everything that is built from the quota as opposed to wiping the quota out as the quota was initially developed to consider the level of development ~his community could handle. Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Mark Danielsen said deducting the employee units from the quota will be a substantial reduction ~n the current growth management plan. If the employee units are to be deducted from the quota for keeping track and for future planning purposes, then the annual quota should be adjusted or increased. Danielsen said this would take employee units from the lodge, commercial and residential quota and deduct them from one quota, the residential quota. Vann said there are revisions which make it explicit ~n which cases a project would be eligible for exemption. Richman said this ordinance included as exempt from counting against the quota the 100 per cent and 70/30 employee proDects and exempt from competition but count against the quota. Mayor Edel said if an applicant is willing to come in with a 70/30 project, he does not wan~ the 70 per cent counted a~ainst the quota. Gideon Kaufman said he did not have a problem with the concept of including employee housing in the quota as long as the city comes up with something realistic. Council decided that they wanted 100 per cent employee project and the 70/30 project, the 70 exempted from competition and from the quota. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing. Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance ~53, Series of 1982, on second reading as amended; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Michael, aye; Collins, nay; Parry, aye; Knecht, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried ORDINANCE ~54, SERIES OF 1982 - GMP Submission Dates Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Edel closed the puklic hearing. Councilman Collins moved to adopt Ordinance ~54, Series of 1982, on second reading; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Knecht, aye; Parry, aye; Collins, aye; Michael, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. RESOLUTION ~32, SERIES OF 1982 - Commercial GMP Projects Councilman Parry stepped down. Colette Penne, planning office, told Council this year's commercial growth management competition has three projects. Two are in the commercial core; the Whale of a Wash on Main Street, and Rubey Park visitors center on Durant Avenue. The other project is in the S/C/I zone, which is the Aspen Downtown Storage Project on Puppy Smith street. Ms. Penne outlined the building and demolition activities that have affected the quotas Council set up; the net available in the commercial core is 8973 square feet. The quota available in other zone distircts if NC/SCI 7,000 square feet; O, office zone 4,000 square feet, CL and other 2567 square feet. Ms. Penne told Council the amount of square footage requested in the competition is 2700 square feet for the Whale of a Wash; 5810 square feet for the Rubey Park v~sitors center for a total of 8510 square feet in the commercial core. In the S/C/I zone, the applicant requested 24,750 square feet, which would be approximtely three years of quota and bonuses. Subsequent ~o P & Z scoring, the Commission recomended the project get one year's allocation of 7,000 square feet plus enough bonus to allow construction of one of the three structures. The applicant has requested that this be tabled at this meeting pending a possible amendment to the design and site utilization. Ms. Penne told Council both projects in the commercial core meet the threshold and there is enough quota available for both projects with a surplus quota of 463 square feet. The planning office recommends The Whale of a Wash and Rubey Park visitors center be allotted out of this year's quota and that the 463 be carried over to next year's quota. Ms. Penne also recommended that the quota remaining in the O, office and CL zones be carried over. Ms. Penne pointed out that both pro3ects require additional approvals. Employee housing units constructed as part of a commercial GMP pro3ect require approval of Council upon recommendation of P & Z. The Whale of a Wash has to have a special review for an FAR bonus as well as HPC approval. The Rubey Park visitors center needs to be rezoned to SPA, have an SPA plan adopted and get HPC approval. Ms. Penne told Council if they agreed with Be P & Z recommendation, they should approve Resolution ~32, Series of 1982. Bil Dunaway asked if the Rubey Park Visitors Center had to receive voter approval. City Manager Chapman said Rubey Park was paid for out of the general fund, not with six and seventh penny funds. The Charter requirement that ~here be voter approval because of open space funds does not apply. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve Resolution ~32, Series of 1982; seconded by Ccuncil- man Knecht. Councilman Collins questioned the square footage on Rubey Park. MS. Penne said the total commercial square footage requested is 5810 square feet. There are other areas that are considered accessory to the type of use. There are subsequent reviews for this project. Councilman Collins asked what the rest of the area is as the total build out is more than 5810 square feet. Ms. Penne said there is employee housing, public space. Monroe Summers told Council that the current zoning of Rubey Park, T, Transportation, allows! food service operations in support of a public facility. Summers said he feels that the public facility uses of the building, the transportation elements, hallways, restrooms, food service operations, lockers, all are exempt from competition under growth management. Mayor Edel said a restaurant is a commercial venture and should be counted. Vann said the zone allows certain uses as assessory to the transportation function; the applicant will have to come in in a subsequent review process and convince Council the nature of any operation is in fact accessory. Whether or not Council concurs, is a separate issue. Councilwoman Michael asked how this allocation for GMP commercial project, can come to Council with a proviso the rest of the project will be dealt with later. Vann told Council the applicant competed for 5810 square feet of commercial space. The applicant believes that certain uses are accessory to the public function of the building. Council, upon P & Z recommendation, must make the determination about the rest of the project. Vann said if Council does not agree about the rest of the project, the applicant will have to amend his application. If the applicant has to compete in the growth management competition for the rest of the square footage, he will have to wait until the next competition~ Vann said in public facilities of a transportation nature, he felt it would be appropriate for a commercial support to have something like coffee and doughnuts. Vann said if Council does decide to exempt the accessory uses, it will be subject to mitigating the impacts of that space. Council may exact, as a condition of exemption, if there is employee housing generated, that they meet that need. Summers said there is a~ provision in the Code exempted food service operations in support of public facilities. If Council does not concur that the proposed food service square footage is an accessory use, the project will have to go back through GMP or not be. Summers said the question ls how much, or what, will be exempted. All in favor, Councilman Parry abstained. Motion carried. ORDINANCE ~63, SERIES OF 1982 - Land Use Code Referral Fees Environmental Health Officer Tom Dunlop told Council the county has chosen not to address this ordinance so Council should not address it. ORDINANCE ~64, SERIES OF 1982 Food Service Establishment Fees Tom Dunlop, environmental health department, told Council as a result of escalating costs, he is trying to generate more revenues. Dunlop said the environmental health department could charge for checking food service palns for new and remodeled restaurants. Dunlop said this would generate $2,000 a year. The department is not self-supporting but they are trying to lessen the impact on the general fund. Councilman Collins said everytime the city provides a service to the citizens, they put the burden on them. There is already a fee paid to the building department for plan checks. Councilman Collins pointed out this would only raise a few thousand and would prefer not to charge businesses again. Council agreed with this. Council told Tom Dunlop his department was doing a good job. MAIN STREET TRAFFIC LIGHTS Jay Hammond, engineering department, reminded Council there has been concern over the sequencing and the lengths of the traffic lights. Hammond met with the police chief and Councilman Parry. The feeling was the sequences at Monarch and Aspen were too long a wait. Mill and Main it is important to maintain a separation between the traffic and pedestrians. This means keeping the pedestrian sequence and the no right turn on red. Hammond said the green sequence on the Mill street side will be lengthened. The stop signs on Monarch and Bleeker will be reversed to create a direct alternative between Mill and Aspen. Hammond told Council the department of highways has had personnel in Aspen for awhile attempting to repair some of the electrical problems with the system. Hammond said that the syncronlzation of the three lights is not working. Hanumond said he feels the city should go to the department of highways and tell them the system is not working, and that the lights should be repaired and functioning before winter, or replace the system. Council agreed to have a meeting with the highway department as soon as possible. ENCROACHMENT REQUEST - Prospector Lodge Herb Paddock, representing the applicant, told Council they are requesting an encroachment license on the Hyman Avenue side of 4 inches in a couple of areas. The two entry areas into the Prospector project 4'4" into public property. Councilman Parry moved to authorize and direct the Mayor to execute the standard city encroachment agreement for the encroachments on the right-of-way pursuant to Section 19-5 of the Municipal Code accordin? to the map submitted for two 4-inch encroachments and 52 square foot and 28 square foot encroachments for Code required stairwells; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Knecht. SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Little Victorians Colette Penne, planning office, told Council this is a request for subdivision exception to condominiumize eight units know as the Little Victorians located at 634 West Main. Ms. Penne said these units have all rented outside the income guidelines for the past eighteen months. Councilman Parry moved to approve subdivision exception for the purpose of condominiumiza- ~ion of the Little VictorIans apartments at 634 West Main with the following conditions; (1) improvements necessary to the building from the results of the building department inspections as summarized in the October 18, 1982, and October 19, 1982, building depart- ment memos muss be made prior to the sale of any unit; (2) compliance with Section 20-22; (3) statement of exception from the full subdivision process for the purpose of condo- minimization and a declaration of restriction covenants be executed on forms approved by the city attorney; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS & COMMISSI©NS Councilman Knecht moved to appoint David White as alternate to P & Z; seconded by Council- man Parry. All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Knecht moved to appoint Richard Head as alternate to the Board of Adjustment; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried.

Randy Cote, Colorado Division of Wildlife, said ~hat if leghold traps are used properly the way they were intended, most injuries can be done away with. Cote said education of using traps would be more appropriate than bannin~ them. Cote said once animals are trapped, it makes it much more difficult to trap them again. Lisa Russell, animal control department, said dogs have been caught in these traps and one dog had to have his leg amputated. Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary suggested amending the ordinance to allow the city manager to issue a permit to trap in time of danger, animal disease, etc. Council agreement Mayor Edel closed the public hearing.
