Convention in Denver on January 7 and 8 1960.
Commissioner Howell called attention to the fact that the legal advertisement in
he .Aspen Times for Delinquent Tax Sale Property appeared to be unnecessarily long for the
eason that in many instances there was sufficient room on one line for the name of owner
nd description of property, whereas two lines were used and that generally the advertisement
as not consolidated as much as it could reasonably be. It was directed that the County
reasurer and the Aspen Times be contacted and requested in the future to consolidate as far
s possible with clatity the advertisment for Delinquent Tax Sale Property.

I ontract entered with that Board and it was thereupon reported that while moneys to cover
this amount were budgeted for the year 1960, tax receipts had not yet come in in sufficient
!amount to cover such expenditure and that the carry over balance in the Hospital Budget was
insufficient to meet such requirement. It was further reported that there were adequate
carry over funds in other sub funds of the General Fund that would not be required until tax
receipts came into all of such funds to permit temporary transfer iod#n and appropriation into
the Hospital Fund to cover said 05,000.00. There upon on motion duly made, seconded, the
:following Resolution was unanimously adopted:

drainage of the Roaring Fork River and the area west of the Roaring Fork River on the South
side of the Colorado River that would be served by the proposed West Divide project, and that
they consider the formation of a larger district to include the four counties as being
unfeasible and not in the best interest of Pitkin County.

tabled for further consideration after investigation to determine the necessity zi and effect
of zoning in the Redstone areas involved.

Mrs. Robert Sterling, proprietor of Heather Beds requested permission to
nstall lights to illuminate the directional sign on the County rightyof -way near the inter -
ection of the Maroon - Castle Creek road with Colorado Highway 82 and was advised that this
l atter would be investigated and that any such illumination would be subject to zoning
estrictions and requirements and also would be subject to conditions that would not create
traffic hazard.
The matter of closer co- ordination of law enforcement activities between
he City of Aspen and the County Sheriff's office was discussed, including the continued use
.f the jail by the City. The Commissioners authorized the Sheriff to procure one portable
Aws
wo way radio, on the condition that the City of Aspen would also acquire a like radio, for
•ette r communications between the Sheriff's office and the Police force, and also for
mergency use, such unit to be purchased at a cost of not to exceed $400.00 to the County.
the Commissioners further authorized the Sheriff to employ a deputy Sheriff, who would be
vailable to assume the Sheriff's duties in the Sheriff's absence and also to assist the
.heriff, such employment to be on the basis that the City of Aspen would pay approximately
Cne -half of the deputy's salary, for his part -time service as a police officer and the

A contract was prepared by the County Attorney concerning the use of the jail and
also the use of a portion of the Sheriff's office in conncection with City law enforcement
for the City of Aspen, was condidered, and after discussion was approved, the Chairman being
authorized to sign the same, attested by the Clerk.
It was directed that the County (Attorney write a letter to the Colorado Highway
Patrol authorities requesting that a patrolman be staftbned at Aspen, instead of making
periodic visits to Aspen from Glenwood Springs. Reasons assigned included a great increase
in population, particularly skiers and persons attending summer programs; increase of traffic
outside the City Limits to the ski areas and other areas around Aspen; the necessity for
additional patrolling to avoid accidents and traffic hazards.
After discussion and on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted, it was
directed that the County make a donation of $200.00 to the Aspen Chamber of Commerce, a
donation of $500.00 to Music Associates of Aspen, and a donation of $500.00 to Aspen Institut
for Humanistic Studies, all of such money to be used for the program of those organizations
looking to the advertising, promotion and development of the economy of Pitkin County.
The request by the County Planning and Zoning Commission that the County adopt the
same building code as had been adopted by the City of Aspen was again discussed and it was
recommended that contractors in the Aspen area be requested to review such building code and
offer their comments and suggestions to the Commissioners.
Mrs. Pat Maddalone and Mr. Samuel Janzen appeared before the Commissioners to discus
matters connected with the operation of the Pitkin County Hospital, and the transition from
County management to management by the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities. Following
discussion, the Commissioners directed that anticipation warrant retirement funds continue
to be handled through the County Treasurer's office as has been done in the past and also
that a Hospital fund be continued to be maintained in the Treasurer's office where the re-
ceipt, handling and disbursement of moneys donated, collected or received for building pur-
poses, capital improvements, emergency hospital requirements and special purposes not in-
cluded within the operating contract between the County and the Mennonite Board of Missions
and Charities. In connection with the proposed building program at the Pitkin County Hospital
to be commenced in 1960, based upon plans now under preparation by Robert Erwin, Architect,
the Commissioners declared that they contemplated expending tax moneys in the approximate
amount to be derived from three mills of the five mill levy on such capital improvements with
the amount to be . derived from the remaining two mills to be used to the extent that may be
necessary for hospital operating purposes; also, that anticipation warrants to be issued
for the additional amount of money required would have a beginning retirement date in 1961,
Mr. Sanz reported that the change over from County operations to Mennonite management
had been accomplished smoothly and that most of the details had now been taken care of,
including the making of a complete inventory; also, that the Mennonite Board was handling
the collection of accounts receivable and was making payment of accrued bills, accrued prior
to commencement of Mennonite operation; that for that reason, the January operating statement
of the hospital will probably reflect a deficit balance of expenses over income from hospital
operations. His report was approved by the Commissioners.
After discussion with Mr. Samuel Janzen and also Mr. Lloyd Speakman, Pitkin County
Director of Public Welfare, it was directed that Pitkin County Welfare patients who may be
in the hospital should be billed at cost for their services to them, and that the hospital
should not be required to subsidize Welfare patients for hospital care.
The Commissioners discussed the matter of having part -time deputies to elected
County offices and reiterated the policy of requiring approval to be obtained by the official
as to the salary and payment for such employees before hiring and further declared as a
matter of policy that the general salary scale for such employee should be based upon $1.60
per hour for skilled clerks, or Clerk Typists, $1.30 per hour for general clerical work and
11.00 for special unskilled assistance. It was further directed that such temporary
employees might join in the Blue Cross plan for County employees, but the cost thereof shoul
be deducted from their salary, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Commissioners.

Mr. F. W. Ahderson appeared before the Commissioners representing the City Council
'of Aspen to discuss the problem of dogs running at large in the City, and advised that mat y
complaints had been received from residents of Aspen about a large number of dogs; that in/
is opinion many of the dogs came from outside the City limits, and for that reason the Council
as doubtful if licensing action would be successful unless the County adopted the policy of
equiring dog licensing and control, as well as the City. The Commissioners advised that
.._�a_
546
they recognized the necessity of licensing and other controls for dogs in the immediate
vicinity of Aspen, but considered it doubtful whether County licensing would be justified
in such areas as the Frying Pan and Crystal River. The County Attorney was directed to
investigate and report to the Commissioners as to whether the law would permit the Commission rs
to impose licensing requirements as to a part of the County only, and on that basis the matte
was put over for consideration at a later sleeting.
The following resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Colorado Highway 82 East of Aspen has been relocated and realigned by the
Colorado Department of Highways, and this Board has found and determined that that part of
Chipeta Avenue, hereinafter described is no longer needed for highway purposes, and that part
of the improvements on the lots adjacent thereto enroach upon a part of Chipeta Avenue here-
inafter vacated, and such improvements have been in place for many years, and it would cause
great hardship to cause the removal thereof,
AND WHERE, it has been determined that Colorado Highway 82 as relocated and now
located will adequately serve the needs of the public, and that said highway serves the purp-
lose:of Chipeta Avenue at the location stated below,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado, that that part of Chipeta Avenue lying Southerly of Colorado Highway No, 82,
as now located, and located Northerly of Lots designated as 1 /2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
in Block 21, Riverside Addition, on map filed on December 6, 1949, as Document No. 97096,
Office of the Pitkin County Clerk & Recorder, is hereby declared relocated and abandoned.
Following discussion, the following Resolution was, upon motion duly made, sedonded
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, automobile traffic on Colorado Highway No. 82 between Glenwood Springs and
Aspen, Colorado, has been and will be constantly increasing at speeds that greatly exceed
former conditions, and
WHEREAS, there has been a very substantial increase in the number of trains on
the Aspen branch of the D. & R. G. W. Railroad, particularly between Glenwood Springs and
Carbondale, and further increase in such traffic is anticipated and an extremely hazardous
situation exists at several of the railroad crossings over Colorado Highway 82, particularly
because of the obstructions to visibility from the highway making it difficult to observe
approaching trains, the presence of black gondola railroad cars on the tracks in the night
time, which are practically impossible to see even from the highway, and the lack of any
warning lights and the fact that the existing railroad crossing warning signs are somewhat
inconspicuous and,
WHEREAS, there have been several accidents, many near accidents, and it appears
inevitable that serious accidents and deaths will occur at said railroad crossings unless
more adequate warning devices are installed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado, that the Colorado Department of Highways and the Denver and Rio Grande
Western Railroad Compamy are requested to promptly cooperate and install warning lights and
other more adequate warning devices at the railroad crossings along Cdiorado Highway 82
;,between Glenwood Springs and Aspen.
Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted it was agreed that a
'donation of $500,00 should be made to the Aspen Chamber.
Mr. E. H. Mason, Mr. Howard Kelso and Mr. Neil Edstrom of the U. S. Forest Service
appeared before the Commissioners to discuss construction, maintenance and better program for th
the roads that serve forest areas which are on the County road system.
Mr. Mason advised that the Forest Service proposed that a program be worked out
i ;where there was a definite division of responsibility for certain specific roads in Pitkin
County, and agreement as to what the Forest Service would do, and as to what the County
would do with respect to such program. Needed improvements were discussed as to various roads,
particularly a road up Maroon Creek, as to which Mr. Mason stated that he thought the County
should assume the responsibility to the H. A. Deane Lodge, and the Forest Service from there
on to Maroon Lake, and further advised that extensive improvements were contemplated at
Maroon Lake during the current season. Also discussed was maintenance and improvement of
the Castle Creek Road, the Frying Pan Road, replacement of bridges by the Forest Service at
;'Thomasville and on North Fork of the Frying Pan and maintenance and improvements in other
Iiareas, Following such discussion the following resolution was upon motion duly made and
„seconded, unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, the Supervisor and other respresentatives of the White River National
Forest have discussed with the Board of County Commissioners a program for improvement,
maintenance and replacement of structures on County roads in Pitkin County which serve forest
areas and it is the policy of the Forest Service and the County to cooperate closely in
matters of common interest pertaining to said roads, and
WHEREAS, Forest Service representatives have advised the Commissioners that the
hu. S. Forest Service contemplates replacement of the Thomasville and North Fork bridges on
th Frying Pan River with concrete and steel bridges as funds permit, provided assurance is
obtained of County participation and cooperation on other sections of s aid road and on
(maintenance thereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado, that on the basis of the installation of bridges above Thomasville and
on the North Fork of the Frying Pan River by the U. S. Forest Service, the County does agree
ito accept and acknowledge responsibility for the Frying Pan River Bridge at Meredith and all
lesser structures between Basalt and Meredith within Pitkin County to be a county responsi-
bility.
The County Clerk called the attention of the County Commissioners of the fact that
one of the County road employees had been sued in Justice of the Peace Court and in lieu of
' having his wages garnisheed, had made a partial assignment of wages to pay part of his salary
to the creditor and the rest to him. Following discussion, the following resolution was
;upon motion duly made and seconded, unanimously adopted:
RESOLUTION at-
WHEREAS, assignment of a part of the County employee's wages to cover a period of
months has been presented to the Commissioners with the request that the pay of said
employee be divided by the County to one of his creditors and to him and in the opinion of the
;'Commissioners the County policy with respect to such matter should be declared.

the County up the Crystal River and past Redstone in order to take care of this short
stretch of road remaining as County responsibility. Thereupon, following discussion, the
ftilowing resolution was upon motion duly made, and seconded, unanimously adopted:

WHEREAS, Pitkin County was left with the responsibility for that part of Colorado
Highway No. 133 and of Highway No. 327 extending from Redstone to the Gunnison County line,
a short stretch of County road which does not justify the keeping of county personnel and
equipment at Redstone or nearby said stretch of said road, and
WHEREAS, said short stretch of road must be maintained and serviced by Pitkin
County equipment and personnel from the Aspen or Emma part of the County, necessitati4g it
travel for many miles along Colorado Highway No. 133 up the Crystal Valley in order to b
service such short section of road, an arrangement that is uneconomic, impractical and
unfeasible, and
Aoki WHEREAS, in the judgemet of the Board of County Commissioners, since the State
ias taken over and assumed the responsibility for the former County road from the Pitkin
ounty line to Redstone, the State should take over and assume responsibility for the addi-
tional section of such road extended to the County line.

are hereby requested to include that part of Colorado Highway No. 133 and 327 extending

County Welfare Director Lloyd Speckman advised that therehad been some talk to the effect that persons

patient.
Mayor Garrish of the City of Aspen appeared before the Commissioners requesting cooperation on the use
of equipment in maintenance of the City dump Southwest of Aspen and was advised that the Commissioners would
make a study of this problem and advise the City as to what they were willing to do.
Mayor Garrish also urged the adoption by the County of a Uniform Building and Electrical code and the

writers Code be adopted. The Commissioners advised that these matters would be taken into consideration
and that the County intended to adopt electrical and building regulations.

Thereafter the matter of land acquisition for the new hospital building was discussed, the boundary of
the land to be acquired from the Bradshaw Estate and the heirs of John Williams was discussed, settled and
agreed upon, and the County Attorney was directed to proceed immediately either with the purchase of said
land at the rate of $3,000.00 per acre, which the Commissioners determined to a fair and adequate price for
the same, or if the owners were unwilling to sell at that price, then to institute proceedings to condemn such
land, the land to be subject to easements for existing water lines and also subject to an easement on the
: Westerly side of the hospital land now owned by the County for a private roadway to be used by the County and

Ilwork on this road at the first opportunity when weather conditions would permit.
A delegations of residents and property owners from Redstone appeared before the Commissioners, in-
cluding Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Clayton, Mrs. Pruitt, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Short, and others, concerning
the matter of zoning in Redstone. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell requested the Commissioners proceed immediately
with proceedings to zone part of Redstone including their property, in accordance with petition previously
I presented. This view was supported by several of the other persons present. Mr. and Mrs. Short objected
1 to such zoning stating that it was an attempt to prevent them from operating a business on their property,
that it was discriminatory, and that it did not contemplate including the rest of the area of Redstone and
I would unduly discriminate against them, and further advised that there was substantial opposition to such
zoning, as was indicated by the statements filed with the Commissioners in opposition to such zoning.
Following extensive discussion, and upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted, it was directed
that Trafton Bean, Planning Consultant, of Boulder, Colorado, who had assisted in relation to the County
Zoning around Aspen, be contacted and requested to make a study of the zoning problem at Redstone and make
recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners.
Mr. Robert Kopp appeared before the Commissioners requesting that action be taken by the County to
locate the road with reference to his property East of Aspen, stating the matter had previously been dis-
cussed with the Commissioners on various occasions, but that no action had been taken. The matter was
referred to Mr. G. E. Buchanan, County Surveyor, for study and report to the Commissioners.
Mr. Roy Vroom appeared before the Commissioners protesting taxes on a portion of his real property
West of Aspen, and stated that the assessed valuation was apparently substantially higher than other
comparable property in the Aspen vicinity. Mr. Vroom was advised that it was apparently a matter that
should have been brought before the commissioners sitting as a Board of Equalization in 1959, but that if he de-
sired to present a petition for abatement, it would be given due consideration.
'I . Mr. Frederick Benedict appeared before the Commissioners concerning the apparent construction by
Hans Cantrup East of Aspen of houses on two lots sold by Mr. Benedict to Mr. Cantrup, appearing to be in
' violation of the zoning regulations of the County. The County Attorney was requested to investigate the
matter and report back to the Commissioners.

The Commissioners discussed with Mr. Lee Jones and with the members of the Planning and Zoning
Commission the matter of zoning to business use a part of Mr. Jones' property near Woody Creek. The
Planning and Zoning Commission submitted a report and suggestions as to the proposed zoning; Mr. Jones
stated that he was insistant upon the zoning of five acres to include the existing store and welding
shop for business use and that he would consent that the additional land owned by him remain in its
present zoning category if the five acres was zoned for business use. It was decided by the Commissioners
and by the Planning and Zoning Commission that before such zoning should finally be accomplished, that
adequate trailer park regulation should be adopted as a matter of zoning by the County. Accordingly, it
was moved, seconded and motion was unanimously adopted that the Commissioners declare that they contemplate
zoning approximately five acres of Mr. Jones' Woody Creek property, including the existing store and
welding shop, extending from the County road Southerly, for business use; that before the effective date of
such revised zoning, the County further contemplates the adoption of reasonable regulations for the
operation of trailer parks; that if Mr. Jones desires to proceed with the construction of a trailer park
in advance of such change of zoning, that it is recommended that he contact the Pitkin County Board of
Adjustment, and that the Commissioners recommend to the Board of Adjustment that they may grant a permit
for the construction of a trailer park within said five acre area, subject to reasonable regulations and
conditions to be prescribed in said permit.

head at the Courthouse on April 7, 1960, there being present Commissioners Gerbaz, Howell and Sardy,
membersof the Hospital Board, Mr. Sam Janzen, Mrs. Pat Maddalone, and Mr. Robert Erwin, architect.
Mr. Erwin presented the plans for the Pitkin County Hospital improvements, advised that the plans had
been prepared in close coordination with the Health Department, and that he anticipated that bids could
be obtained from contractors for opening on May 17, 1960. Mr. Erwin further advised that it was deter-
mined to be necessary to enlarge the heating plant, which would necessitate enlarging the boiler room, and
also that it was necessary to enlarge the service area on the Easterly side of the proposed new building,
Yw�d resulting in a larger square footage and therefore a larger cost. He stated the present base estimate was
$220,000.00; estimate on solarium was $15,000.00; estimate on second maternity room was $7,400.00; estimate
on group 1 equipment was $18,600.00, and group 2 and 3 equipment was $25,000.00, which together with a 3%
reserve for contingencies would aggregate $309,400.00, including architect fees. After discussion,
examination of the plans, and upon recommendation of Mr. Samuel Janzen, the Hospital Board and the Board
of County Commissioners approved the plans and report of the architect, and directed and authorized the 1
architect to proceed with soliciation of bids, requesting that if possible the bid opening date be
scheduled in advance of May 17, which had been suggested by Mr. Erwin, or if that cannot be arranged,
that the bid opening be scheduled for May 17, 1960, at Aspen in the Courthouse.
The County Attorney reported that deeds had been received from the Williams heirs and from Mrs. Ruth
Bisel as Executrix of the Bradshaw Estate, which would clear up title problems other than those connected
with relocating the Aspen waterline. Thereupon, by direction of the Board of County Commissioners, Chairman
Orest A. Gerbaz executed on behalf of the County parts 2 and 3 of the County's application for Hill- Ij
Burton Federal participation in the hospital improvements.

The following resolutionwas adopted:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Leonard Short of Redstone, Colorado, during 1959 applied for a restaurant license for the
sale of malt, venous and spirituous liquor by the drink at Redstone, Colorado, and notice of hearing on
such application was published, and hearing conducted thereon, but no license issued due to failure to
Al.") meet the conditions specified by the Commissioners and to comply with steps necessary for issuance;of
license, and j
WHEREAS, during 1960 application was made for issuance of a restaurant license, likewise for the sale
of malt, venous or spirituous liquor by the drink on premises constructed by Leonard Short at Redstone,
Colorado, and it was required by the Commissioners that publication be made in the Aspen Times, a weekly
newspaper published in Pitkin County, of public hearing before this Board at the Courthouse in Aspen,
Colorado, on such application, which application was duly and properly made, and
WHEREAS, in accordance with said published notice, public hearing was conducted by this Board on
May 18, 1960, at which all persons appearing were afforded full opportunity to be heard and express their
opinions and objections, and the Chairman of this Board having been designated to personally inspect the
premises sought to be licensed; the neighborhood, area and conditions relating to issuance of the license
and having reported to this Board, and the said premises having been inspected by Paul Adams, State Liquor
Inspector for the Department of Revenue, and having been reported by him as complying with all conditions
for licensing, and all pe titions, letters, remonstrances and other communications in relation to the
•

issuance of such license having been taken into account, and
WHEREAS, the applicant Leonard Short has been found and determined to be qualified under the law to
hold such license.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the County Commissioners of Pitkin County, Colorado, that this Board
does hereby find as follows:
1. That said Leonard Short has made application to this Board for issuance of a restaurant license for
the sale of malt, venous and spirituous liquor by the drink in premises owned by .him and now constructed at
Redstone, Colorado, which premises are in compliance with the law for restaurant licensing and otherwise
comply with the requirements of the law for the issuance of the license applied for.
2. That the said license application is in due form, properly executed, and that publication has been
made in the manner and for the time required by law, by appearing in the Aspen Times, a weekly newspaper
authorized by law to publish legal notices in Aspen, Colorado.
3. That there has heretofore been issued one restaurant license for the sale of malt, venous and
spirituous liquor by the drink at Redstone, Colorado, which is now in use in connection with the operation
of the Glenwood Hot Springs Company lodge and resort; that said resort has in the past been open only during
the summer months and is closed during most of the year and may reasonably be expected to continue closing
during the winter months; that while the Glenwood Hot Springs Company lodge is open to the general public,
during the summer months when the same is open, such establishment caters primarily to persons residing at
the premises, and to summer visitors consisting primarily of the tourist population.
4. That no other license for the sale of malt, venous and spirituous liquor by the drink exists in
the West end of Pitkin County and that when said lodge is closed, the nearest licensed premises for the
sale of such beverages is at Carbondale, Colorado, in Garfield County, a distance of some 18 miles from
Redstone over a rough, narrow and mountainous road and that the reasonable requirements of the inhabitants
of Redstone are not being adequately served by the said Glenwood Hot Springs Company licensed premises.
5. That the permanent, year around population of Redstone has been constantly growing and may reason-
ably be expected to grow, due primarily to commercial developments in that vicinity, including a large
coal mining operation, transportation of coal, and other commercial enterprises; that a substantial number
of the workers involved therein are permanent, year around residents of Redstone; that the growth of Redstone
may reasonably be expected to continue as is evidenced by extensive subdivision plans, new construction,
establishment of a post office, and other activities; that a majority of the permanent inhabitants of
Redstone favor the issuance of the license applied for and the establishment of a restaurant with the
privileges permitted by such license.
6. That most of the objections and protests to the issuance of license applied for were based upon
alleged proximity of the premises sought to be licensed to private dwellings; that objectors indicated they
would not oppose other commercial development in the vicinity, but were opposed to a bar with the sale of "
liquor; that most of such objectors have indicated they would not object if the licensed premises were
located elsewhere in the community of Redstone; that the Commissioners have determined, that whether or not
such objections are valid reasons for denial of a license, that the premises sought to be licensed is so
constructed, located and designed as to cause little if any inconvenience to the objectors, and is not
in such close proximity to their houses as to create any nuisance; that the premises are not constructed,
designed or adapted to use as a nightclub, dance hall of similar enterprise.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the application for license of Leonard Short shall be granted and the
Chairman and Clerk of this Board are authorized and directed to approve the same and to issue license
accordingly.

hotel- restaurant structure including two restaurants and approximately 143 units and requested the
commissioners to advise whether or not they would favorably consider an application for a hotel liquor
license in the event such project was constructed. They were advised of the required statuatory procedure
including the filing of application, publication of notice in compliance with Health Department laws and
the necessity of constructing a building where the licensed premises were to be located before the

authorize a change in zoning classification.
Mrs. Susan Brennen appeared before the Commissioners requesting information as to whether or not
they would grant a liquor license for premises now under construction formerly belonging to Mrs. Brennen
south of Aspen and was advised that the statuatory requirements for such license and that the Commissioners
could not act on an application in advance of public hearing duly advertised.
Mr. Samuel Janzen and Mrs. Pat Maddalone appeared before the Commissioners to discuss progress and
plans for the new hospital, advising that it was necessary to promptly place an order for x -ray equipment
and also to make selection of other hospital equipment to be utilized in the future in the reconstruction
of the hospital. It was determined that the Pitkin County Hospital Board of Trustees had approved the
purchase of the recommended x -ray equipment and a list of other equipment to be obtained, whereupon
on motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted, Mr. Janzen was authorized to order General Electric
x -ray equipment for a price of $9246.00, less trade -in of $1140.00 for $8106.00 plus $375.00 for one

Assessor for further investigation, it being contended that the assessment was erroneous by including $4000.000
assessed valuation on personal property, at a time when the business of that corporation was not functioning I
and as it was contended, before the rpoperty was brought into the County. -
I '
The commissioners recommended that the Assessor examine schedule of Joseph M. Elder in order to

abatement petition for consideration by the Commissioners tf the protest.
1 The application for reduction of assessed valuation of Frances Miklich was considered, and it was
determined that the assessed valuation was fair ;and proper, and accordingly such application was denied. It

The protest and application of Robert Kopp on assessed valuation was carefully considered and
1 thereafter was denied.
The application of Charles Gates for revision of assessed valuation against the Charles Gates house
in Aspen was discussed at length wad Mr. Buckhbtz advised that he had carefully investigated the matter, and ha
concluded that the house was classified on a basis higher than was warranted by the construction. He rec-
commended that the classification be changed from 1.7 to 1.6, but not for 1.5 as requested by the petition.
He advosed that th*s would result in a reduction in assessed valuation on such improvements from $31,604.00 to
1$20,190.00 with the land valuation of $480.00 remaining the same, and after further discussion and upon
motion duly made, seconded and unanimously adopted, it was directed that current assessment be revised from
1.7 to 1.6 and that abatement petition on taxes for 1959, payable in 1960 be granted in part to provide that
taxes imposed of $1,750.60 shall be reduced by the sum of $622.64, leaving the correct tax balance due and
owing in the sum of $1,127.96.
Next the objection of Francis Kalmes to assessed valuation of $6,110.00 was considered and it was
determined that the assessor had already made an adjustment so as to provide assessed valuation of $5,110.00
1
on improvements, which the Commissioners considered fair and adequate, and hereby deny the application for
further reduction.
The application of Aspen Self - Service Laundry for abatement and adjustment of assessed valuation was
considered, and it was determined that on recommendation of Mr. Burger of the State Tax Commission, a
substantial reduction in assessed valuation had been granted; that the petition for abatement and adjustment
should be denied.
The petition and protest of Ralph W. Ball on 1960 assessed valuation of $2,340.00 on improvements
I in connection with his residence property was taken into consideration, discussed in detail, and it was
determined that the assessment was fair and equitable, and accordingly the request was denied.
The petition f6r abatement and protest of assessed valuation of Donald Snyder and Lorene Snyder was
considered, and found to be fair and equitable, and not to require equalization, and accordingly this
petition was denied.

taken into consideration, and after extensive discussion and consideration, it was determined that no basis
has been shown whereby the valuation should be changed, and accordingly the petition was denied.
The petition of Gordon Halford and_Betty J. Halford for recudtion of assessed valuation on their
property on the Frying Pan River was considered, and it was determined that the primary reason for raising the
valuation was the fact that additional improvements had been discovered and placed on the schedule. According -
ly, it was determined the assessment was fair, and that the petition should be denied.
The assessment on the property of Robert Knight was considered, discussed, determined to be fair and
equitable, and request for reduction was denied.

in question had been substantially rebuilt, and that standard methods of assessment has been followed in
l establishing the assessed valuation. Accordingly, the petition was denied.

into consideration and after discussion with Mr. Wiese it was determined the assessment was fair ;and equitable
and the petition was denied.
The further petition of Roy Vroom protesting the assessed valuation as to lands located in the vic-
inity of the Buttermilk Ski Development, northeasterly of Highway #82, was considered and it was determined
that no small lot or tract sales, and no subdivision plat had been completed; that the use of such land was
redcominantly agricultural, and that no sufficient basis existed for special use classification. Accordingly,
it was recommended to the Assessor that such land be retained in an agricultural classification until additional
evidence appeared to justify special use classification. It was, however, recommended to the Assessor that the
property used in connection with the Buttermilk Ski Development be restudied and all portions thereof used
erg in connection with skiing and related purposed be classified as special use land.

should be makred so that cars would not encounter depressions at the ends of culverts; that he was having a
very substant dust problem in front of his house as the result of iron ore tiucks passing at considerable rates
of speed , and he felt oil would be necessary. The Commissioners advised Mr. Mace that this matter would be
investigated and such action taken as the Commissioners deemed necessary.
Mr. Frederick Benedict appeared before the Commissioners requesting that the road leading up Hunter
Creek be placed on the County Road System, along the course leading over Smuggler, and that such road was

and Zoning Commission.

location of the tram on theTipple Woods Subdivision plat not be considered as a public right -of -way. After
discussion, the Commissioners agreed that this was intended to be a private easement for the use and benefit
of property owners within such subdivision and not as a dedicated public road or street.
Mr. James Adams appeared before the Commissioners and advised that an acute problem had arisen
because of the lack of suitable space in trailer parks for trailers, that accordingly the only solution appear -
ed to be to grant exceptions to trailer regulations whereby the same would be permitted to occupy areas outside
of trailer parks until room in trailer parks was available,
Mr. Adams also discussed a proposed purchase of land from Mr. John Herron and questioned whether or
not the road heretofore traversing such land was a public road. Mr. Adams was advised that since the road in
question did not appear upon the County road Stem as shown upon highway maps, that the Commissioners did not
assume ;jurisdiction over it, but that this did not mean or indicate that the same was not a public right -of-
way or roadway.
Mr. Meade Harker, of Morrison- Knudsen Company, appeared before the Commissioners and advised that
the Barnes cattle paths ;under the Castle Creek road was becoming dangerous and might collapse with continued

the condition of the cattle path under the road.

Hospital would be moved in approximately two weeks, but that this would necessitate cutting the County road
blacktop surfacing on the highway in one place.

that this platter would be taken into consideration at the time of the adoption of the 1961 budget.

.f assessment of area occupied by County Roads across their land was considered and was referred to the County
ssessor with the request that the matter be investigated to see if the area occupied by CountyRoads was
ctually being taxed, and whether the right -of -ways across Mr. Cook's land were in fact deeded, or merely
asements established by use.
An additional petition of Mr. & Mrs. Cook for abatement and reduction of valuation on ranch buildings
as examined, together with photographs and other information in the Assessor's office and it was tequested %that
he Assessor's office make a study to determine whether such ranch buildings were overvalued.

. etermined that the realty valuation had remained the same for a considerable period of time and was not
xcessive. The method of inventory valuation was discussed with Mr. Bandy and was approved on the basis of the
nformation submitted.

lussion the Assessor's valuation was approved. The matter of assessment of personal property against Hatfield's

Ls suggested to Mrs. Hatfield, and accordingly, no action could be taken by the Commissioners.

onsidered and it was determined. that building permit for structure in question had issued May 5, 1959 and that
1
f ork was in progress in setting up equipment and getting ready for production as late as August; that a tractor
as leased from a Grand Junction Contractor; that the plumbing system was not installed at the time assessment
h as made; that certain items of personal property not belonging to the taxpayer were included; that the buildin_
as erroneously assumed to be completed and consequently assessed at full value for the year. After due con -
I sideration.and on motion duly made and seconded, it was concluded that the petition was well founded and that
_✓ - abatement should be granted, whereupon it was resolved that taxes for the year 1959 payable in 1960 assessed
against Royal Land Corporation on personal property and improvements be reduced in the sum of $200.00, from
$347.76 to 147.76.
The Commissioners further discussed the assessment on lands utilized in the Buttermilk Ski Developmenp
and recommended that the assessor include not less than 16 acres of Special Use Land based upon Ski Development.

ules, regulations and directives have been issued by the Commission with respect to the assessment of land in
transitional use, particularly in newly subidvided area, areas being sold in small tracts without subdivision, -Id
-reas not being sold, but being located in proximity to subdivisions, and having a special value as a result

.tpgbther with an area of approximately 63.09 acres on Red Mountain northerly of Aspen, all of which has been
: ssessed as Special Use Lands, was considered. It was determined that this land was not dubdiflided; that no
racks had been sold from the same indicagive of subdivision; that no use was being made of such land or
. evelopment for subdivision purposes and accordingly that there was no basis on which the same should be given
1 Special Use Classification. As to the property known as the Erickson Ranch, also the subject of petition for
eduction of valuation, it was directed that the Assessor correct the assessment to that of agricultural uses
or the class and kind of land involved; it was further directed that several mining claims included within
'Petitions for an objection to assessment be studied to determine whether assessment was in conformity to other
Maims in the County, and that if it were determined that the assessed valuation was above that of other like
claims than that the same be equalized.

'WHEREAS the cost of living has been constantly increasing for many years and wages and salaries in
practically all branches of industry have been substantially increased and,

"t\1 of the Fifth Class, are aubstantially disproportionate to the responsibilities assumed and do not presently
constitute a fair living wage,
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin County, Colorado, tha'
I it is recommended that legislation be introduced for the increas in salary of elected county officials in the 1
smaller counties, particularly those of the Fifth Class, at the earliest practicable date to assist in obtain -I
