February 11, 1980 Chapman explained that H.B. 1158 proposes to go to uniform state collection administra- tively to make the base of sales tax come throughout the state. The biggest problem is the aspect of food tax, which represents a substantial part of the city's tax base. If there was a state-wice collected tax, the City should assume the food tax would be eliminated. Chapman told Council the city collected about $190,000 in general fund and $320,000 in 6th and 6 pennies from food sales tax in 1979. Chapman told Council that H.B. 1189 proposes that $1 amount equivalent to 10 per cent of the state's receipts would be returned to counties and municipalities with 50 per cent being allocated on a pc capita basis on 50 per cent on point of origin. All in favor, motion carried. 2. Mayor Edel told Council the last CAST meeting was very exciting with a lot of good CAST meeting things coming out of it.

City Clerk Koch stated the posting, publication an~ license file were in order. Ms. Koch explained to Council arts license is only for patrons of Visual Arts productions or shows and is a limited type license. This will eliminate the Visual Arts Center Center having to come to Council for separate special event permits. The only problem is that the lease between the City and VAC has not been finalized. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing. Councilman Behrendt moved to include the lease between the City and the VAC on the agenda seconded by Councilman Isaac'~ All in favor, motion carried. Councilman Behrendt moved that based on the evidence presented at a public hearing held February 11, 1980, relating to the application by the Aspen Center for the Visual Arts for an arts liquor license, the CoUncil finds that the needs of the community have not been met and the license is hereby g~a~ted conditioned upon right to the premises; seconded by Councilman Isaac. All in favor, motion carried. VISUAL ARTS CENTER LEASE Marty Kahn, representing the VAC, told Council there is a problem with the maintenance contract for the mechanical parts; they have not been able to find a company that is VAC lease willing to enter a contract. If the VAC can find a company, they will do it. They can get somebody to service it. Chapman said that was acceptable to the City. Kahn said relating to the outside grounds and snowplowing, it was their understanding the City woul~ snowplow the driveway and parking area. The VAC also understood that the surrdunding property was considered city property and open to the public. If the VAC 0r~anyone wanted to schedule an event, they would have to go through the city. City Attorney Stock pointed out the lease had an Exhibit A, this shows the VAC property as driveway, parking lots, building and the bank. Stock told Council he would have a map when he brought the ordinance back at the next meeting. Councilman Collins asked that "without cause" be struck from Section 9. LEASE RENEWAL - Mountain Rescue City Attorney Stock told Council in the early 1960's the city adopted a lease for the Asp~ n Mountain Rescue building. It was a five-year lease and has been extended on that basis. Lease - Fred Braun would like the lease reaffirmed for five years. The lease presented is Mountain Rescue essentially ~he same as it has been, recognizing the construction of a structure and a garage. Councilman Isaac moved to approve the lease; seconded by Councilman Collins. Councilman Collins asked what all the leases from the city were not standardized. Stock told Council there are different reasons for getting into leases, such as donations, whic] are completely different from office space in the Wheeler. All in favor, motion carried. REQUESTS FOR ENCROACHMENT- Mill Street Station City Attorney Stock told Council there are three separate requests for encroachment for Encroachr~ent the Mill Street Station building. There are planters in the right-of-way on Mill and Request Hopkins and the roof overhang is in the city's right-of-way. Stock recommended Council Mill street approve those two requests. The third is for the telephone box~ which is equipment owned Station by Mountain Bell for which an encroachment agreement is not necessary. This was taken care of in the franchise. Dan McArthur, city engineer, told Council he had looked at the sidewalk condition and due to the overhang, the sidewalk is cracking. McArthur recommend- ed they replace 50 feet of sidewalk to correct the problem as a condition on the encroachment. Councilman Behrendt moved to approve the encroachments for the Mill Street Station subjec~ to the engineering requests; seconded by Councilman Isaac. All in favor, motion carried. ,,~. ,.~==,~9 ~sp~n u~y uounc~± ~'eDruary 11, 1980 REQUEST FOR ENCROACHMENT - Aspen Block Building Dan McArthur, engineer, told Council this is a request for an encroachment license in the Encroachment alley to block 89 to update the trash container portion of the alley. There ~s an existin~ Request one now but they want to remodel it. City Attorney Stock recommended the approval be Aspen Block subject to the standardized form. %'~ Councilman Behrendt moved to approve subject to their signing the standard agreement; seconded by Councilman Isaac. All in favor, motion carried. REQUEST SUBSIDIZING OF GYMNASTICS PROGRAM Sandy Munro and Doug Rhinehart told Council they were going to request a piece of equipmenl Funding for the gymnastics program. Munro and l{hinehart had gone through the recreation departmen~ Request - budget with Ted Armstrong, and pointed out some of the recreation programs operate at a Gymanstics profit and some are subsidized. The gymnastics program is one of the most profitable. Program They need a free exercise mat, which costs about $5,000, in order to have a competitive program. Munro requested authorization to redirect funds to purchase this mat. Munro pointed out the baseball team gets $10,000, the swim team gets $3200. Councilman Behrendt asked if they had approached the schools for money. Munro said they had not. Councilwoman Michael said if there is potential for competition in this region now, the city should think in terms of it now. The interest in gymnastics is growing with!! the children. Ms. Butterbaugh commented the Council did cut $15,000 from the recreation budget and the programs had to be reworked. Mayor Edel agreed there is an imbalance between which programs make a profit and which programs are subsidized. City Manager Chapman told Council he had asked the recreation and parks departments to look at all the recreation programs and come up with true costs, including all maintenance etc. Council can then decide on a fee schedule for these programs. Mayor Edel said he was uneasy with the entire thing, and it requires CounCil looking at the entire program. Council requested a study session with Armstrong to go over the entire budget and the programs. REQUEST FUNDING - County-Wide Youth Services Program Funding Brian Stafford told Council when this youth services program was funded in 1979, the Request County was under the impression that the federal funding would come in 1980, In the 1980 Youth Services budget approval process that was assumed; however, that was erroneous and the funding was cancellation. The Commissioners decided to fund the program through the end of March hoping to solve the funding problems of the program. The Commissioners have said they will cover 50 per cent of the cash contribution, will provide a 1/4 secretary and provide free rent. The Commissioners have told Alice Falkenstein if she can get the additional 50 per cent funding throughout the community, they will provide the other 50 per cent. Stafford said they feel this program is not duplicative with other programs; it offers unique services to the community with youth counselling, hotline available. There is wide community support for this program; Stafford said he was hopeful some of the groups will provide funding. Ms. Falkenstein told Council she ~s looking into other poss~b~l~t~e~ of funding, such as federal grants. Councilman Behrendt pointed out the Aspen Mental Health clinic is in the same building; there must be some management savings in this. This program ought to be under Sopris Mental Health group. Councilman Behrendt said ther~ is something wrong with the way mental health services are delivered in this town. Ms. Falkenstein Said she felt there was a s~igman on mental health for young people. Ms. Falkenstein said she felt a separate youth coordinator would be in a better position to meet teenagers/children in a less threatening way. Ms. Falkenstein pointed out that mental health clinics deal on a 1 to 1 basis. Youth services should do much more than just treatment, there should be preventative services and educational processes. Council- woman Michael said the Aspen Mental Health Clinic and its predecessors was perceived as a comprehensive mental health center. The Council gets nervous when programs begin to spin off. Ms. Falkenstein told Council the impetus behind the original program was to shelter runaway kids coming to Aspen and needing a place to stay. Now the program is getting referrals from schools, families, friends for kids needing counselling. Councilman Isaac asked what could be done to make the program self-supporting. Councilwoman Michael, pointed out the mental health clinic charges on a fee scale, and Ms. Falkenstein is providing a service which perhaps could be charged for. Mayor Edel said the City will re-examine the budget and revenues to see what kind of monies are coming in. Ms. Butterbaugh told Council they had budgeted all available money in the general fund. Ms. Falkenstein said she is going to get with the school board for possible funds. The Thrift Shop has given $1100 to the youth hotline, and they have raised other monies and are totally self-funded. Councilman Isaac asked about getting funding from businesses in town. Ms. Falkenstein told Council between now and March she needs a commitment of $15,000 and is approaching the City for $4500. Council told Ms. Falkenstein to wait until mid-March and keep in contact with the administration. There are many money requests coming in.

Annexation and Rezoning Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. Ord. 80, 1979 W.H.O.P. Sunny Vann, planning office, told Council this is located under the Castle Creek bridge Annexation and is zoned R-15 in the county. P & Z recommended it should be zoned R-15A and chose not to comment on the appropriateness of annexation. If they had a large enough site, R-15 in the city would enable them to build a duplex. In the past it has been the policy of the city not to upgrade the density. This zoning and the size of the lot would enable them to build a single family residence; they cannot build a duplex because there is not enough land. There is no FAR and no limit to the size of the house other than the set backs. Vann explained this appeared before Council in early December and the planning office recommended against it as the policy was not to annex unless there is a community benefit. Council concurred and voted it down. The applicant reappeared and Council reconsidered this and approved it. Councilman Behrendt asked what size house they could build in the Council. Vann answered there is an FAR in the County and they would be limited to 1100 square feet. The only incentive for the applicant to be annexed is to be able to build a larger structure. Buzz Pracko pointed out that in 1967 the north side annexation, the center of the river was used as a natural boundary specifically for annexation purposes. Since the applicant has been before Council the City has annexed land all around this parcel. Pracko showed Council a map of the city with the flood plain line. Pracko said he did not feel there is any density impact in building a two-story house, if annexed. Pracko stated that 2400 square feet would be the maximum house. Pracko asked that this approval be contingent upon getting a front set back variance. Councilman Behrendt noted in the past the City has gotten trade offs with annexation and water rights2 The city is the water service to the whole valley. The city attorney and city's water attorneys should comment on this. Councilman Isaac said there should be an agreement to enter into improvement districts for the road, water, fire hydrants, etc. Stock told Council the policy has been anyone annexed must transfer their water rights to the City and these rights must tap into the city system. Rick Head told Council they shared half a well with someone else. Pracko asked if the annexation is granted will the variance granted in the county run with the property. Stock told Pracko the Council cannot adopt a zone district and give a variance; Council does not have the power to grant variance or spot zone. Councilman Van Ness said his only concern is that by changing a boundary line, the per- missable development goes from 1100 square feet to 2400 square feet. The Council does not know where the flood plain ~line is exactly and the footprint. Councilman Van Ness said he felt a doubling of density is more than adequate. Stock recommended Council allo~ staff to bring back an annexation agreement covering the concerns of Council. Councilman Isaac moved to direct Stock to draw up an annexation agreement including takin¢ over the water service, agree to improvement district, six month minimum lease and to have the planning office make recommendation covering the flood plain and set backs; seconded by Councilman Van Ness. All in favor, with the exception of Councilman Collins Motion carried. ORDINANCE #1, SERIES OF 1980 - Deferred Compensation Mayor Edel opened the public hearing. There were no comments.

Kaufman told E~tending Council unless one approach is in position, the deadline cannot be met. Mayor Edel said Moratorium he felt the two issues were being confused. Kaufman stated it was the opinion Of the re: condominilm~i city attorney that a non-conforming use could not be condominiumized, and 50 per cent of zation of lodges the lodges in town are non-conforming. Kaufman said it was always his understanding that the elimination of non-conformity and the issue of condominiumization would go together. Ms. SMith, planning director, told Council the staff has not made a recommendation to Council; however, they intend to proceed with the two concepts together. Kaufman said it was his understanding to do the non-conforming ordinance first. Councilwoman Michael asked that the planning office communicate their recommendation as soon as possible so that the two are not fractured. Mayor Edel closed the public hearing. Councilman Behrendt asked if he had a conflict of interest, city Attorney Stock said he was not in a conflict position. Under the City's conflict ordinance, the only conflict position would be a legislative action to which the person voting would receive direct benefit.

Mayor Edel said the Jim Markalunas' report stated the city would have to have an additional water treatment plant of approximate~ly the same capacity of the Water depa~hLLent one the City has now so that the old one can be shut down and worked on. This will cost report a lot of money, Markatunas said his recommendation is to have the additional plant in Plant operation by 1986, and it will take two years for construction. Markalunas is suggesting expansion 4,000,000 gallon capacity additional at existing Castle Creek plant. Another 4,000,000 gallon plant is proposed in the gravel pit area to be used only in summer peaking months, unless the city gets into a lot of snowmaking. Markalunas told Council on the Castle Creek treatment plant there would not be land acquisition problems. This is the addition~ plant he would go for first. The existing plant is 20 years old and is giving some problems. It will take 2 to 4 years to get all the necessary approvals. Finance Director Butterbaugh told Council she is working on a report and analysis of a new billing system, which ought to give the City a way to pay for the water system. The report should be ready in March. City Manager Chapman told Council the treatment plant is just one part of the five year capital program. There may be i'more immediate needs than this treatment plant. Markalunas told Council it may take 10 years to get all the necessary components in their place. Markalunas told Council there are some serious problems with the water system; however, the city is not at a crisis. Markalunas said his intent of the water report was to point out where the problems are occurring, and to address the citical problems first. Councilman ISaac noted the report suggests there might not be adequate water supply for the developments now underway. Markalunas told Council this is not a problem with the water plant housing project or Marolt water distribution. There are areas in town with serious problems and one of the most serious areas is Aspen Grove and Mountain valley. Markalunas said under the growth management plan, he reviews the projects; Markalunas feel~ if a project can help solve some of the water problems, they should be given extra points. The city should get the developers to help solve some of the local water problems. Markalunas said he would not like to see any development east of the Silverking area. Markalunas told Council he would suggested considering severly restricting some areas unle~ the city can affect the ~ecessary distribution upgrade. Serious problems areas are east of town and at the Airport Business Center. City Manager Chapman told Council they will deal with the water capital improvements in conjunction with the water management program. 2. Waste. Water Treatment Plant. City Manager Chapman told Council there was a letter from the city's water attorneys and a suggested agreement regarding the waste water treat- Wastewater ment plant and the law suit of the sanitation district and COG regarding who has powers to treatment do what. Chapman pointed out the city is in the middlen because they get along with the plant sanitations districts; they have done a good job and are responsive to the city's needs. Also the city is a member of COG. COG is saying the authority of the sanitiation district now belongs to municipalities. Chapman said the city needs to have an on going relation- ship with both and directed the attorneys to prepare an agreement with the sanitation district. If they are willing to use 208 as a policy to make decisions, the city will enter into the contract. Chapman told Council the city is not happy with the agreement as presented and will do some staff work on it and bring it back to Council. 3. Building Department Report. Chapman submitted a status report of the building depart- ment, that the city will be working with the county building department.

Councilman Van Ness pointed out the decisions that have to be made involve millions of dollars, and it is the resposibility of Council to decide what exactly they want at the Rio Grande property. The responsibility should not be given to a group of non-elected citizens. A task force is a dangerous way of making decisions. Mayor Edel said the Council is not prepared to spend the time and energy necessary to come up with a decision. There are a lot of people in the community that want to help in the planning process. Councilman Isaac said he felt it would be appropriate to send this task to the P & Z and give them a chance to do it.
