CITIZEN PARTICIPATION 1. David Zaagman asked if Council had given some thought to the proposal of matching funds from the federal governmsnt for a valley wide transportation sytem from Glenwood Springs to Aspen. Mayor Edel said the city had been approached by the government saying there were funds available on the state and federal level to hlp communities in terms of developing a more stable employment base throughout the community. Mayor Edel said he felt it would be much better if this were developed as an area-wide project. Mayor Edel has met with people throughout the valley to discuss the possible formulation of an area agency. Mayor Edel suggested that the lead agency not be Aspen but some down valley governmental agency. Mayor Edel said this is the first step of something that could be beneficial and long term for the entire valley. 2. Mike Clement told Council there is a real problems with lack of enforcement of the traffic laws on Main street, specifically people trying to get across Main street. Terry Quirk, police dePartment, told Council issuing tickets is not the only solution. People are not using the crosswalks but are jaywalking. Councilman Collins asked if volunteers could be deputized for enforcement purposes. Quirk said he has not researched that in depth. Councilman Collins asked the police department check into this and report back. 3. Carolyn Doty, committee to preserve open space funds, has a petitions with 369 signa- tures, and urged Council to pass the ordinance in the petition. At the Council meeting March 14th, Council requests a list of the committee's priorities for the land fund. These are (1) purchase land between Hallam lake and the sewer plant, (2) purchase of the Koch lumber property at the base of Shadow mountain, (3) purchase trail easements along Castle creek, (4)i purchas~ of Bass park, (5) purchase of an open space area in the Smuggler Silverking area; (6) development of trails and landscaping of the above parcels and all existing open space. Ms. Doty requested further that the planning office prepare a more workable open space and beautification plan and that this committee be allowed to work with the planning office. Councilwoman Michael moved to add this to the agenda; seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor, motion carried. COUNCILMEMBER COMMENTS 1. Councilwoman Michael said she received~a phone call from someone in Glenwood Springs telling her that Gt~nwood is in the process of making a decision about the highway bypass. This does not directly affect Aspen, but it was done as a courtesy to let Aspen know they want us to know what they are doing... 2. Councilman COllins commended the city crews for cleaning up the Castle creek bridge of dirts and rocks~.~ Councilman Collins said he appreciated it. 3. Mayor Edel said he has been told that a letter of agreement has been struck between a group represented by John Roberts and Alan Novak with Mr. Cantrup for $31,000,000 regarding purchase of land for the development of a hotel, which now has to go to a bankruptcy court for approval by them. This deal is based on the assumption of certain approvals by the city. Mayor Edel said he was asked to advise Council of that. MAROLT PROPERTY City Manager Chapman said based on his instructions from Council, he has had several conver- sations witb the Marolt representatives. The proposal before council tonight will probably meet Council's objectives. The agreement is that the city will buy all but 10 acres of the land; this ten acres, through a subdivision process, will be a donation to the city. The total price is $2,100,000; $1,800,000 upon closing with $300,000 payment at the end of 5 years with 12 per cent interest. Chapman told Council Mrs. Marolt will retain the right to occupy for homestead for a period of three years. Mayor Edel said this was presented before the Open Space Advisory Board and they agreed unanimously that this should be followed through. Chapman said the ordinance mentions 3 acres, and it should be made clear that this will not be subdivided out but that Mrs. Marolt can occupy the homestead for three years. Mayor Edel said Council should talk aboutl how the land should be managed, rather than just letting it lay fallow. Councilwoman Michael moved to read Ordinance #15, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE 915 (Series of 1983) AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE ACQUISITION BY THE CITY OF ASPEN OF THAT PROPERTY LOCATED WITHIN THE CITY OF ASPEN, COUNTY OF PITKIN, COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "AMROLT RANCH" IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROPOSED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT ANNEXED AS EXHIBIT "A", THE TERMS OF WHICH ACQUISITION INCLUDE: 1.

EXECUTION AT CLOSING OF A NON-ASSUMABLE PROMISSORY NOTE IN THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($300,000) WITH INTEREST AT THE RATE OF 12 ~ER CENT PER ANNUM PAYABLE IN QUARTERLY ANNUAL INTEREST ONLY PAYMENTS OF $9,000 FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS FROM THE DATE OF CLOSING AT THE END OF WHICH PERIOD THE ENTIRE BALANCE SHALL BE DUE AND PAYABLE; AND AUTHORIZING BOTH THE MAYOR AND THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF ASPEN SUCH DOCUMENTS AS ARE NECESSARY TO CONSUMMATE THE ACQUISITION was read by the city clerk Mayor Edel said any mention of 3 acres should be striken from the Ordinance. City Attorney Taddune pointed out the ordinance does~ not address the offer from Mrs. Marolt for the additional 10 acre donation as these two transactions are separate and apart. Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance ~15, Series of 1983, with the deletion of any reference to the 3 acres; seconded by Councilman Parry Councilman Collins said he felt this is being rushed throUgh. The Council was just presented with a petition about open space and with priorities for other acquisitions. Councilman Collins said he does not know what the other options are. Councilman Collins said before the second reading, he would like to have a Chance to look at a shopping list~ of other parcels that may be available, and what the ~vailable funds are~ Roll call vo-e; Councilmembers Parry, aye; Michael, aye; Collins, aye; Knecht, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Motion carried. CABLE TV FRANCHISE Assistant City Manager Ron Mitchell told Council the Cable TV advisory committee has been holding meetings reviewing the cable tv situation, reviewing Canyon Cable's request to renegotiate their franchise and upgrade the system. Mitchell told Council the committee has come up with recommendations which are (1) appoint two members from the committee to work with MitChel and meet with Canyon cable to develop a franchise ordinance; (2) the committee would recommend a franchise ordinance to Council, and the ordinance would go to the voters; (3) the committee would work with the city attorney to strengthen the non-exclusive aspect of the granchise and the availability for cable companies to apply for a franchise; (4) the committee set a schedule of 4 to 6 weeks to complete the fran- chise ordinance to recommend to Council; (5) the Committee would like to reserve the right to come back to Council to request funds to hire a technical consultant for advise on the technical aspects of the ordinance; the committee intends to use its own expertise, but may need outside help. Councilwoman Parry asked why this had to be submitted to the voters. Mitchel said it is in the City Charter to submit to the voters the granting of any franchise.~ Mitche~told Council the committee's evaluation is that for the community's interest that Canyon cable is willing to invest a significant amount of money to upgrade the system so that Aspen has a "state of the art" system and to also upgrade the city's franchise ordinance. Mitchell said the best procedure would be to meet with Canyon cable and come up with a franchise ordinance to accomplish this. Mitchell said he felt going through an RFP process would not put the city in any better position. Mitchelltold Council that the city attorney is counselling them along so that they will not create any exposure to anti-trust. City Attorney Taddune said according to the committee, requests for proposals are not necessary in Aspen. Taddune recommended a three-tiered approach; (1) public fact finding as to the minimum criteria for any cable franchise; (2) adoption of an ordinance establishing minimum criteria for any cable company wanting to operate within the city of Aspen; (3) granting of specific franchise. Taddune said the city would then pass on to the electorate those persons wishing to establish cable franchises in the community. Taddune told Council the committee does not feel there is any interest or need in the community to limit the number of franchisees operating cable TV. Mayor Edel said the bottom line for anyone is that they pay the city for coming in and peddling their wares. Councilman Knecht moved to approve the next five steps of the advisory committee's plan for cable franchise; seconded by Councilwoman Michael. Councilman Parry said that step number 2 should be separated out, as the franchise ordinance itself is not voted on in an election. The company to received the franchise is voted upon by the electorate. Taddune said there will be a minimum criteria ordinance first. The approval of an individual franchisee will go to the voters. This should be separated out. Councilman Knecht moved to amRnd step 2 to first have an ordinance that is approved by Council, and then have an election on a franchisee; accepted by Councilwoman Michael. All in favor, motion carried. OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE Carolyn Doty requested Council instruct the planning office to prepare a specific open space and beautification plan for Aspen and that their committee be allowed to work with the planning office on this. Councilman Parry recommended this group work with the Open Space Advisory BOard. Mayor Edel agreed the city has an on-going group that has worked on open space for some time. They have developed a program. Mayor Edel said he does not understand why another group has to be created when it could be merged. Ms. Doty said this group would like to see just city issues dealt with in the city. A1 Blomquist said the people in the Smuggler area have needs for open space and recrea- tion. Blomquist said there should be half a dozen groups loOks at their neighborhood needs. Councilman Parry said the groups should be coordinated and only have one ~u~i mees~ng Aspen City Council April 11, 1983 recon~mendation to Coun~l. Councilman Collins said he felt there may be a.~need for better communications between the various open space groups. Councilman Collins said he would like to see a priority 'list of open space with rationale for these purchases. Chapman said the request is to have the planning office work with this group and the open space negotiating team to develop a park and open space plan for within the city limits. Councilman Knecht. said he felt it is productive to add more ideas to the open space program. Councilman Knecht recommended the city get together with this group, get ~ogether with the PCPA, and the Open Space Advisory Board makes the final decision, it is a board appointed by the Council. Councilwoman Michael suggested this group communicate with the OSAB and find the history behind the open space program. Councilwoman Michael moved to approve the request for planning office time; seconded by Councilman Knecht. Ail in favor, with the suggested of Mayor Edel. Motion carried. CODE AMENDMENTS - Expedited Review of Land Use Applications Ordinances 16 & 17, 1983 Alan Richman, planning office, told Council this is a second version, as Council did not like the first version because it gave discretion to the staff. What Council wanted was more predictability in the process. The staff tried to come up with a compromise to make the process more predictable, but when there is a question involved, a recommendation will come from P & Z. Council is given the opportunity to decide what projects are appropriate for exemptions. The discretion of the planning director has been removed from this process. Sunny Vann, planning director, told Council an applicant is charged based on the number of steps in the process. City Attorney Taddune told Council the staff felt one of the criteria should be whether multiple review is redundant. If so, there is no necessity to run an application through a four or two step process when one would do. Taddune said another finding is that multiple review would serve no public purpose. This is focusing upon the land use policies of the city. Councilman Parry moved to read Ordinance ~16, Series of 1983; seconded by Councilman Collins. All in favor, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~16 (Series of 1983) AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 20-19 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE CITY OF ASPEN, COLORADO, (PERTAINING TO EXCEPTIONS AND EXEMPTIONS FROM THE SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS BY REPLEAING SUBSECTION (b) AND THE LAST UNNUMBERED PARAGRAPH OF SECTION ~0-19 AND REENACTING SUBSECTION (b) AND ADDING NEW SUBSECTIONS (d) AND (d) SO AS TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY COUNCIL TO EXPEDITE REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION APPLICATIONS WHEN APPROPRIATE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES BY GRANTING, AS THE CASE MAY BE, EXEMPTIONS FROM THE DEFINITION OF SUBDIVISION OR EXCEPTIONS FROM SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT THE NEXESSITY OF OBTAINING THE PRIOR RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION was read by the city cler Councilman Parry moved to adopt Ordinance #16, Series of 1983, on first reading; seconded by Councilwoman Michael.

Regular Meeting Aspen ~ty ~ouncl± ~pr~l ii, ~ Councilman Collins asked why this was zoned R-15/SPA. Alan Richman said this was part of the Castle Ridge and it was impossible to anticipate what the development would be. R-15 was the county zoning and it was carried with the annexation. Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary pointed out one of the conditions from the P & Z that the fence line be shown on the final plat has already been complied with. The other request is the grading and landscaping plans be submitted before issuance of a building permit rather than final Council approval. Council accepted those amendments. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Collins, aye; Knecht, aye; Michael, aye; Parry, aye; Mayor Edel, aye. Mo~ion carried. PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE WEED CONTROL Lisa Scott and George Lilly presented three proposals. A deals with killing thistle and hemlock around the Iselin park area. The Moore pool area is a top priority with thistle around the pool, they are suggesting an eliminatiOn and revegetation program. This is to cut the thistles three times during the growing season and replant with native grasses. Jim Holland, parks director, said one of the areas in this proposal was just received by the city and he is planning a ballfield. Holland said there is no sense in putting money into an area that will be torn up. Holland said if the ballfield is not approved at this site, then something should be done about the thistles. Lisa Scott said proposal B is regarding dandelion contrOl in city parks. The parks.depart, ment has been spraying 2-4-D to control danelions, and there are a lot of hazards associa- ted with 2-4-D. When the proposal was written, the only alternative known was mechanically pulling She dandelions up. This should be along with a revegetaion program to compete with the dandelions. They would use an organic fetilizer to maximumize soils health. There is a synthetic stimulation they have just found out about, which makes the plant actually grow itself to death. They would like to investigate this. Ms. Scott said 2-4-Dii is extremely hazardous and parks are where people lie on the ground and come in close contact with 2-4-D. Holland agreed there is no question as to the danger of using chemicals. Holland told Council the city runs a very minimal herbicide program in the parks. Holland said in his opinion there is no viable alternative to herbicide use. Holland said hand digging the dandelions, if it could be afforded is not an alternative. Holland said people are not ready to accept parks with dandelions in them. Holland said his department is only reacting to complaints from people about dandelions in the parks. Holland said this hand digging would cost $12,000 if he could find someone to do the job. Holland said he cannot support this, programs are turned down that cost less than this. Ms. Scott said if the city continues with the spraying program, that warning signs be posted about the spraying. Ms. Scott also suggested if the city wishes to continue spraying that it be discontinued at Paepcke, Herron and Triangle parks. Mayor Edel suggested taking one park and not use any chemical for this one year and compare it to other parks. Council- man Parry suggested also taking Herron park and not using chemicals because they are away from the main travels. Holland said that was fine. Mayor Edel said to keep track of any complaints about these parks. George Lilly asked about posting the warninglsigns that parks have had chemicals applied. Holland is suggesting the signs be posted for three or four days. Ms. Scott said they should be posted for the whole summer because of the residue. Holland agreed to post the signs for a week; Council agreed. Holland said he felt the signs were ugly but he would do it~.as it is a reasonable request. Ms. Scott told Council proposal C addresses the Thomas property on Highway 82 and Castle Creek road, there are a lot of thistles. To enhance the control measures at the golf course and along the bike trails, they propose an elimination and revegetation program. Mayor Edel asked how effective this program would be. Holland said he is totally behind the program on the thistles. Holland feels the thistles can be had removed and reseeded at Iselin~? and Moore and Thomas properties. Council agreed to this approach. Mayor Edel told Staff to find the money. Mayor Edel suggates a report for next year to see how effective the program is. SUBDIVISION EXCEPTION - Owen Colette Penne, planning office, told Council this went through stream margin review at P & Z; they looked at the positioning of the house abive Herron park. This is a good design, and the applicant was willing to grant an easement to the city for the potential widening of Mill street. In order to get all this on the plat, it has to come to Council. Councilwoman Michael moved to grant subdivision exception for the purpose of amending the Owen subdivision plat, to reflect the conditions of the prior stream margin review by the planning and zoning commission subject to (1) approval of the final plat form by the city engineering department prior to recordation, and (2) approval of the plat language by the city attorney's office prior to recordation; seconded by Councilman Parry. All in favor, motion carried. ASPEN INSTITUTE CONTRIBUTION Mayor Edel said he had gotten a response from Joe Slater of the Aspen Institute. When Council first approve the $5,000 contribution a year for the next ten years, the Institute said they would use the money solely for projects in Aspen. Mayor Edel asked Council if he felt the letter was sufficient. Council agreed Councilman Knecht moved to authorize Mayor Edel to sign the letter from the Aspen Institute seconded by Councilman Parry. Councilman Collins said he would like more specific information on what the Institute does with the money. Council agreed with would li~e a specific report. All in favor, motion carried. Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1983 CIRSA REPORT Duane Fengel, transportation director, introduced Debbie Thorpe and reminded Council last year the city elected to join CIRSA. This is the first full report. Councilman Knecht said in reading the report it seems that Aspen had a higher accident rate. Fengel said Aspen was the only participant with a~transportation system. Debbie Thorpe told Council Aspen was number one in severity of claims. Three of the claims, the Kona Post suit<, a slip and fall, and the Wheeler Opera house made the city's severity high. On frequency Aspen was ranked number three, with transportation having 47 per cent of the claims. Another area that should be seriously looked into is the towing of vehicles. Ms. Thorpe said she felt these were controllable through training and proper use of equiPment. Ms. Thorpe told Council it is important to institute an accident investigation program to get information on what causes claims. Mayor Edel agreed the city should start a program to cut down on frequency. Ms. Thorpe told Council CIRSA has put together a safety manual which they would like each city to institute. The requirements are very standard and not objectionable. Mayor Edel suggested Ms. Thorpe meet with City Manager Chapman and follow through to get this instituted. ORDINANCE ~5, SERIES OF 1983 Rezoning Hotel Jerome Mayor Edel stated he has been a big fan of this project for a long time, and thought this~ item had been approved long ago. Mayor Edel has affiliated with an advertising agency and has made a pitch to John Gilmore. Mayor Edel said he did not feel it proper that he vote on this issue. Councilman Collins said he has talked to the architect and John Gilmore about the possibility of engineering on this project. Council decided this is not a conflict. Assistant City Attorney Gary Esary pointed out the first significant item, which is employee housing. The owner has an obligations to provide 19 bedrooms, 15 of these will be deed restricted to the city guidelines for price and occupancy, size location and configuration. However, with respect to the four units on site, John Gilmore does not feel for the units on site, that he can have that level of intrusion, guideline approval and occupancy qualification in his on-site units. Councilman Parry said he wants this project to work and does not feel the city should go into the hotel and pick the size of the rooms. City Attorney Taddune agreed that the guidelines do not work well in this situation. Alan Richman, planning office, said the 15 units come from a formula based on the size of the new lodge and how many employees it would generate. The four units are on-site now and it is the number that will be planned. Richman said he felt it was appropriate for Gilmore to work out the units so long as employees of the lodge are housed in the units. Gilmore said no one can run a hotel with deed restricted, city governed units in the complex. Gilmore said he would covenant that these four units will be hotel employees. Esary said he would require minimum square footage and that the units will be used solely by the employees of the hotel. Esary said the next point is the off-street parking issue. Esary told Council there has been some language added by the city's bond counsel to make sure the city has the flexi- bility to issue funding for the parking structure in the future. During the occupancy of the hotel and the occupancy of the parking garage, the city will provide 45 parking space at the golf course and 15 spaces at the Rio Grande. The applicant has requested a provisi°n that if the applicant loses any spaces at the Rio Grande, the city make up for these spaces at the golf course, up to 60 parking spaces. Esary pointed out there are provisions for the owner providing liability insurance. There is an indemity from the owner holding the city harmless against the operation of the parking. City Manager Chapman said the city has assigned a rental value to the 60 parking spaces on an annual basis, based on current parking rents in the city of Aspen with the golf course spaces worth half of that. This is important if the city fails to start a parking garage in the nsxt two years. Esary said if the city builds a parking garage, Gilmore's contri- bution to the garage, the interim parking spaces is in the neighborhood of $600,000. This includes a continuing obligation to help operate and maintain the garage. For that amount, Gilmore gets interim parking and 60 spaces in the garage. Esary said if the city does not build a parking garage, the city has valued the interim parking at $2800 per month and Gilmore pays that $2800 per month. Chapman said if the city fails to build a parking garage in two years, Gilmore has the right to submit an alternative plan o~ negotiate a long term lease with the city for the interim parking spaces. Esary said Gilmore will pay for the parking with $100,000 down and a promissory note for the balance. Gilmore will secure the promissory note with a transportation charge of $5 per room per night. The note will be payable over. the te~m of the bond, with an interest rate the same as the bond. Everything will be keyed into the bond to match the city's debt service. Chapman said the tax increment bond will not be done until the city decides to build the entire parking garage. Esary said the obligation of the application to help operate and maintain the parking garage is secured by the transportation revenues. Esary said there is language in the agreement to make sure the city has maximum flexibility in financing the parking garage. The city's findings are incorporated into the agreement. John Gilmore asked if the PUD runs with the property, and the answer is yes. However, it says if he does not meet the construction schedule in the PUD, he has to go back through P & Z and the Council. Gilmore said he would like to have more flexibility in the construction schedule because if he doesn't start this June, the agreement is no good. 3464 Regular Meeting Aspen City Council April 11, 1983 Richman said the engineering department will need much more detailed dates which will emerge when the construction starts. Gilmore said he would like to construction start date to be August 1985.and completion date of December 1986. Chapman said he is afraid this might get out of synchronization with the building of the parking garage and the city has no security. Councilmembers Collins, Parry and Knecht said they agreed to the dates of August 1985 and December 1986. Mayor Pro Tem Michael opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Pro Tem Michael closed the public hearing. Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance #5, Series of 1983, on second reading; seconded by Councilman Parry. Roll Call vote; Councilmembers Collins, aye; Knecht, aye; Parry, aye; Mayor Pro Tem Michael, aye. Motion carried. Councilman Parry moved to grant final plat and GMP exemption approval for the hotel Jerome renovation and addition subject to the applicant's recording of a final plat and subdivision agreement containing language to be approved as to form by the city attorney;~seconded by Councilman Knecht. All in favor,, motion carried. ORDINANCE ~13, SERIES OF 1983 - Repealing Ordinance #42, 1975, Campaign Expenditures Councilman Knecht moved to adopt Ordinance #13, Series of 1983, on second reading as amended; seconded by Councilman Collins. City Attorney Taddune added a cite to the ordinance for~the record, which is 102 Supreme Court 434-1981 case. Taddune said the city can restrict the amount of money a person gives to a candidate, but you cannot restrict the amount of money a candidate spends. Mayor Edel agreed there should be a limit on individual Contributions of $500. Councilwoman Michael said there should be limits s~mewhere. Council agreed. Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. There were no comments. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing. Roll call vote; Councilmembers Knecht, aye; Parry, aye; Collins, aye; Michael, aye; MaNor Edel, aye. Motion carried.

USE OF TROLLEY CAR Dick Jackson told Council he would like the use of the trolley car in Rubey Park to continue what he was doing this winter. Jackson said he felt the trolley could be used to provide information on back country activities in the summer time. RoCky Mountain Climbing School does not make a lot of money, and he would like to trade off services that are good~for the community in exchange for rent for the summer. Mayor Edel said if there are other requests for whatever reasons, the city would have to offer them that opportunity. Council said this was ~onceptually fine, and have City Manager Chapman make sure there are no other major challenges for the use of the trolley. COuneilwoman Michael moved to adjourn at 9:05 p.m.; seconded by Councilman Parry. All ~-~vor, motion carried. Kathryn S.~och, City Clerk
