[Approximately thirty people were in - '� attendance regarding this issue.] George Madsen made an opening statement, acknowledging that most ;,, of the people in attendance were concerned about the recent >?':� announcement of dramatic price increases for lift tickets by the �-.� ASC, thouqh the pricing issue was not directly related to the _;v� AMSAMP amendment. He mentioned that the staf£ was recommending the tabling of one item from the AMSAMP amendment, and Horn said that Fred Smith had a proposal regarding the item. [Though not mentioned at the -� ! meeting, the Special Events building approval, recommended by the � P&Z, was the item being considered for tabling.] ,1 Tom Blake spoke for the record, explaining that he had done work ; � .'. =�� for the ASC in the past, though he was not currently involved �..�' with the company.

At this point, the public was invited to speak. . Dan Arrow spoke first. [Arrow owns the Popcorn wagon, a local food vending operation, and is a member of ARC.] He said that i� - though the pricing of ski lift tickets is not directly related E:;.� � [to the AMSAMP amendment), the BOCC should withhold approval and/or deny the amendment until the pricing issue is addressed, so that the ASC would receive a strong message from the community �,�, of disapproval. When Madsen asked Arrow for more specifics regarding his feelings ; on the issue, Arrow explained that it wasn't the $35 ticket per � se that was the problem. He felt that the ASC displayed �. arrogance and elitism in the handling of the announcement of the � ,`�'_�'� increase. [Among others, there had been a much-publicized � comment from ASC along the lines that when you're the best, you ; -`' `' should price yourself accordingly.] Arrow didn't feel that Aspen ;`�;�� a` �.;�:,y should be a resort only for the wealthy, and said the town had , _;.:.; been embarrassed by this kind of comment from the ASC. ;';;-rv� Allen Bush also spoke against what he perceived as arrogance in the way in which the higher prices were announced by the ASC. He ``--� supported the summertime use of the gondola, as he felt it would �,��r�; be a positive thing for the local residents as well as visitors �:k:��;`� to Aspen. He suggested more cooperation between the local `"`•! residents and the ASC, to provide the right kind of environment , ;;::;;�' for visitors as well as locals. Additional suggestions included _^:.�:`,I some kind of 4-area combined ticket that would include Aspen 1 Highlands, more flexible ski pass packages, better direct air service from major cities, better public parking, better modes of --.� public transportation, such as smaller busses, trolleys, and '•' perhaps trains. �� `�� He talked about helping the people that work in the valley, ';';;;.� including a non-validation pass for locals_ [Sush is member of ._ � � the ski patrol at Aspen Highlands.] a Marcia Goshorn said that the approval of the subject amendment ', -'"' should be tied into the ticket prices, as the ASC was using some '�� of the improvements planned to justify the higher prices. She mentioned that her parents noticed the announcement of the higher . -'`� prices in their newspaper in Indiana. :1 � Richard Compton submitted a two-page letter, which has been ; included as Exhibit 1 of the Public Hearing file of this date. He commented that Jerr Blann y . y [president of ASC] had explained to him that during the high season, more people are trying to get , �.� into Aspen than are currently being accommodated, and thus the " -"' higher pricing would hardly serve as a dis-incentive. He was l;yr,��' "'''� concerned about what the impact of this kind of attitude would �y��. � have on visitors to Aspen in general.

As others in the audience were demanding that the two be linked, Madsen pointed out that the BoCC would be hard pressed to '�,: - be responsive to both points of view. He asked Compton for his advice regarding an appropriate course of action, pointing out , that one possibility might involve a "public forum," which the ASC had promised the community, but had not as yet arranged. ��-'�.�'" Compton endorsed the public forum with the ASC, where the issue �" could be more fully aired. Madsen asked if Compton believed the pricing issue should be legislated by the Board. Compton thought that some kind of legislation might be appropriate, and expressed � concern that the town was moving away from serving the needs of 3_•. . I local residents, [in favor of serving only the high-end tourist� �' - as evidenced by the disappearance of Tom's Market, Bullock's etc. �' �"' Charles Harrison raised the issue of a community-owned ski area. �� .T. � ��._t•�..� � Tom Egan, an il-year Aspen resident suggested that one of the � things that separates Aspen from other resorts is "class," which �� he said is not a question of price, and was being eroded. He j thought the higher prices and the method of unveiling them was "an embarrassment." He spoke against approving additional ASC ' ,:"; requests until this issue was resolved. C •- �'1 ,:_•�� Clay Dennis said that the town and the ASC had to find a "symbiosis," or a way of working together for mutual benefit. Ae •� asked the BOCC to find a way to get cooperation from the ASC, and � 4 ;� should not allow the ASC to "do whatever they want, hold us hostage" regarding pricing, publicity, etc. '� Sy Smith said that the ASC had made a mistake regarding the • •:� pricing announcements. He cautioned the locals in attendance not '1 to contribute further to the negative publicity generated by the mistake of ASC. He suggested that local business operator, such as himself, had far more serious problems than higher lift '_� tickets in regards to the very high commercial rental rates that ; ',; landlord's charge in town. He said that the landlords cost the ` _'a locals far more than any increase in the ticket prices. He + suggested that there might be other ways to address the problem, � . and said that more government is not the answer. He felt that �� the people in the community should be invited by the ASC to � participate in resolving the issue. �'. i ; Jeanette Darnauer of the ASC was invited by the Chairman to talk about the efforts to counteract the negative publicity generated. She explained that the ASC was going after the "front range _' : , skier° [Denver] by publicizing coupon passes, which would require ;�=`s':"Pf the cooperation of the airlines and the local lodges. She said y ,: that the Denver skier was being offered the ability to ski in >:;�:`:. � Aspen for $20 a day, using the coupon passes. v,�',;7`=a� � .:� �'M_;x:J�wi:.

Richard Roth spoke, and identified himself as one of the co- �` , � chairmen of ARC, [ASpenites for the Restoration of our Community]. He said that ARC had started to circulate a petition �: after the ASC rolled back the local's pass [to last year's �;:?' �'a prices]. He read the text of the petition into the record: ' ,� �1 r. L '! We the undersigned agree that the elitist pricinq ;j policy of the Aspen Skiing Company is detrimental to � the spirit and prosperity of the Aspen community. We � feeZ that an affordable validation-free ski pass is i long overdue to the hard working people of our E .. community and that the $35 single-day lift ticket price �� on Aspen Mountain abuses the special operating ;:j privileges granted to the ASC. We ask that those responsible for the establishment of these policies at � i the ASC meet publicly with all the interested members '� of the Aspen community to discuss these issues and the -� role of the ASC in Aspen. �� ,:.7 • So far, close to 2300 signatures had been gathered for the • petition. He thanked the BOCC for providing a forum that the ASC still had yet to provide, regarding the airing of the pricing f i issue. He said that Blann had postponed the meeting several � times, first because he wanted the managing partners of the ASC to be able to attend, and then because of the vacation schedule �, .� of their public relations director. Roth wondered if the meeting would ever take place. He thought that the arrogance and elitism Ct I was obvious. He said that had the ASC provided the forum, the public would not be in attendance at this meeting, asking the � Commissioners to withhold other approvals. He said that the BOCC �._� � was the only approval needed or sought by the ASC, and challenged ;� the Board not to "sit on their hands" regarding this issue. � � Madsen mentioned that, Board action aside, every member of the �� ;� i Commission had sent something in writing to the ASC, reflecting ��-,, ,; , their views on this issue. �'``�="` �'v�s: `�'� Greg Johnson said that part of being the "best" was being able to ��",;_;;'yK�„ compete for dollars in a specific market.

Scott Davidson of the Aspen Club was the first member of the public in attendance to speak in favor of approving the AMSAMP �;i,^ �- amendment, including the summer use of the gondola. He also said '�' " that the ASC would likely make no profit whatever from operating �?y.�°� the gondola during the summer. He said that the ASC made a � •� • i: : mistake, but had rectified it by the roll back of the local's i. ; pass pricing. He agreed that the presentation of the new prices was badly handled, but said that the marketing people at the -'1 Aspen Club who travel extensively to the trade shows around the country were finding that there was little or no resistance �::`. regarding the pricing, and in fact, many people were enthusiastic _� about the multi-day lift ticket. He said that the reservations ;:� for next winter at the Aspen Club were way ahead of last year's. :::i He suggested that the BOCC stick to the issues, and approve the � ~i AMSAMP amendments. -i. :.� ;�,� . ,'a� Crowley asked Davidson if he was also in favor of the closure of ° ;�� Aspen Mountain Road, which is one of the items included in the proposed amendment. Davidson replied that if the closure was :I necessary for the ASC, he was in favor of this as well. � ;-�i Richard Roth said in response to this that the closure of the ;�; road was the same type of thing the ASC is doing with $35 lift =�-' tickets, which is to make Aspen available to the fewest amount of `'� people, resulting in a ghetto for the very rich. He pointed out that the mandate of the Forest Service, which controls the public ..� lands, is to make them available to the most people possible to enjoy. ,'F'•i . j Dennis Kisow, a member of the ARC committee, spoke against the � ;�;� ticket prices and the road closure. �'' ,;j Alan Bush asked the BOCC to table the amendment approval until tt the ASC has the promised public meeting regarding the prices. He . `,.'� also pointed out that if the ASC doesn't provide an affordable ' ski situation for locals, the ill will generated would � undoubtedly be transferred to visiting tourists, regardless of � the visitors' ability to afford the increase. He suggested the ` 4Z BOCC insist on the ASC meetin the ublic rather than t in to ` � 4 P , rY 9 - legislate the solution. � Charles Harrison spoke against the closure of the Aspen Mountain j Road. _� -',', Fred Smith, representing the ASC, spoke to the issue of the road �,;`s.�;`•z„ closure. He said that less than 18� of the land accessible by =�.`,_�s�;: the road was public land, with most of the balance of the land � �*::'�< . ...'�;`. � owned in fee simple by the ASC.

Esary noted for the record that this Public Hearing was scheduled �. .. for 3:20pm, and the BOCC had been in continuous session since :;1 3:2opm with no member of the public appearing to speak on this 1 issue, except for Spencer Pearson, a representative of the Brush ; �� Creek Village Homeowners' Board, who was in attendance at 3:20pm. 3 i:;� Esary said that Pearson will try to return to the meeting, but �'• -b ,,� simply wanted to voice his approval of the subject draft which ' contains provisions requested by the Homeowner's Board. "'y Esary noted, as he did in his agenda item, that Chris Smith of r',� Aspen Earthmoving was the only member of the public in attendance �� at the previous public hearing on the issue to speak in :,� opposition. As part of the revision process, Esary explained - ,,� that Smith was given notice by letter, as well as reminded this .h,� a.m. of the hearing. -� Madsen asked for an assurance that the ordinance was not going to �:;� cost the County any additional funds. �';:t As the only way to have a truly responsive ordinance would be a permit process, in Esary's view, he had advised the Homeowners �-:-� that he would recommend that they fund the legal work for this. . Penne said that one cost the County would bear would be a call to •`;1 ` the Sheriff's Department. Esary explained that the arrangement <?'ti� regardinq the ordinance included the concept of "no-cost" to the County. Based on this, the Sheriff could charge the Homeowners i .�`;� for his time. On the other hand, Esary said that the Sheriff had offered, as a public service, to assist on a limited basis in the � enforcement of the ordinance. Esary said that it was an t '"� education problem more than an enforcement problem, and that it was generally agreed that if one or two tickets were written, the problem would cease to exist, [as there would be voluntary i compliance with the ordinance.] � Tom Blake moved approval on third reading_ When the Chair called � ' for a second, Crowley explained that he intended to vote against "'�� ::��;. the issue. He had received complaints by telephone from people � , � who would like to build in Brush Creek, who would bear the burden Y�yA� of the new ordinance. Also, the restriction is not enforced. �, �.,,; I :>,ti �;�: BOARD OF COUNTY COMluSSIONERS 14 MAY 26TH, 1987 '�'' " � �i 1 •.� f E . � 7 � • '� .,, _ . ,� . . , _. . . ��,��. .. , . • . `�K.; __ . . . . . . . . . . . _ � / -:ii�' .

Crowley pointed out that a unanimous vote reflected the Board of �;`i'` _ Directors, and not the approximately 140 homeowners unanimous feelings. �� Esary acknowledged that there was some dissent among the �.., homeowners themselves. ! - There was a discussion regardinq trash removal in Brush Creek. " The Homeowners� Association has no contract with any trash �:�,, removal company, and told Penne that only about 5 owners contract ..:1 to have the trash removed. [The trash trucks used by local firms � ' � would undoubtedly exceed the weight restrictions.] ��', -: � Madsen recollected from the previcus hearing that the BOCC was i�r..• -`' ,:j acting reluctantly, but was willing to approve based on the � source of the request, which seemed to be the homeowners i themselves. � Esary also acknowledged some downsides, including increased costs ` for future homebuilding. ,:._� � _ r•��T Crowley responded that this request was simply self-serving on the part of a few individuals.

Penne said that because the homeowners themselves were requesting }i it, and relying on the promise that the ordinance would not cost :,� the County anything, she would consi8er approving it. - She also recalled that there was an agreement that if the matter became controversial, or began to cost the County anything, the ordinance could be rescinded, and asked for assurance that this � was still the case. It was agreed that it was, and so Colette � - Penne seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed 3-1, ` �`i with Madsen, Blake, and Penne voting AYE, and Crowley voting NAY. � i t '•; Crowley, who is involved with fire department operations in the County, explained some of the problems regarding the responding to a fire in Brush Creek.

Spencer Pearson was also in attendance, explaining that he had been waiting in the courthouse lobby awaiting the issue. !`h�. '; S Smith explained that he had been cooperating with the Homeowners' Association, and had attended their meetings, and explained his {� position to them. He was appearing at this meeting to speak P.-' I: _ ; against the imposition o� the ordinance regarding weight j restriction, mostly because there is no practical method of i;• � enforcement. He said that he has turned away business that would e �:�� r quire his bringing trucks onto the subdivision roads, due to E , :. •- „7 the weight limits. He explained that he was not a homeowner in � ?`•:.` the subdivision, but travels through the subdivision to reach his �,: ;;� own property, and thus uses the road and receives the benefit of � its use. • � � Ae was not against the weight laws per se, but felt that there � ,� had to be realistic enforcement available prior to any enactment � � � of such an ordinance. <z( ` Spencer Pearson, of the Brush Creek Homeowners' Board, spoke for ' the weight restriction ordinance. He explained that this � '� restriction is just the first step towards resolving the problem. ;� Ae felt that violations during the first off-season of its •;y enforceraent [there currently exist temporary load limits in the ' � subdivision] was not indicative of a long range problem, though . ;� he acknowledged the validity of the complaint made by Smith. � A discussion.of enforcement ensued, and Pearson explained that he understood that a member of the police or Sheriff's department would be called, and would be responsible for taking the alleged { violator to the nearest scales to be weighed. If found in violation, they would be cited. He also suggested the � • possibility of deputizing local homeowners to ask for drivers' ( � weight tickets if they suspect a Violation of the weight '� � restriction. Penne said that the Homeowners Board, at a meeting including �t � attorney Herb Klein, had assured the SOCC at a previous reading � of the item that there would be no cost to the County. Also, she '! raised the issue of the trash trucks, and said that a weight -� restriation that limits trash removal was inappropriate in her mind, as the result is people using other's dumpsters and trash ��:R ',:::�,;:,,. receptacles illegally. ,��,,. -.i �'.y�.�•. � � �-,: ' BOARD OF COUNTY CO2�II'IISSIONERS 16 MAY 26TH� 1987 ta"��1` a l r.: ':+ ,i �`i ,� ;,. ,, T � • F .� . . - .4.. ��.. ..i ' .

Pearson suqgested the possibility of having a community dump station at the bottom of the subdivision.

Fred Crowley stronqly disagreed with the concept that the trash i::s: truck could be considered an emergency vehicle. "( ' " He said that he clearly recalled Herb Klein's assurance that the L."� homeowners would provide their own enforcement of the ordinance. At 4:05pm, Colette commented that she wished to remove her second of the motion already voted upoi_, and move top table the item � '_ until the Homeowners' Board addressed the enforcement issue to �'' the satisfaction of the BOCC. ;,� Pearson again characterized the trash *�ucna �_ emergency � . vehicles. As Tom Smith had joined the meeting, Crowley asked for ; •� - his opinion.

'Itiere wer� v i'�:'" more important matters to be attended to, svch as makint{ money ° � ?.9� t;= � lots of it and fast. Poisoning the gra.md ard water wasn't ��°o �? '� ' listed as a cost; it was irrelevant. Q �Z-*+ f" ; Times cha�e, and today we have a so�t differen � �^'•c�o perception of how to use our land. We have growth management � N �'°°c c� open speces, emriraunental impact statements, wilderness areas � ��z� �• historic preservation, etc.,� etc., etc.- All these programs d � J�� h =-.� drive up the cost of doing business but the prices rise to can y � : � pensate, �d most evc:ryone is satisfied that sustaining t quality of life in the Roari� Fork Valley is worth a littl extra expense. More importantly, we're paying for the changes we �.. -•� make in the valley up front, not pushing them off on future 1; '�'a generations. . �•. �, Not so much can be said for wr economic ecology, which is �� ' " ::.<r - listing heavily to starboard. 'Ihe mere fact that we haven't ' :�� capsized yet is no reason to rejoice, particularly since there ' , seem to be some aramd wim wwld love to see Aspen tum wer. ,.� Once upcm a time Aspen was a self-sufficient mamtain town that welcomed people from all over the world, from all walks of life, - who wanted to be part of something special, a little better and '•'� brighter than the rest. Perhaps it was too selfish a dream, :;:� perhaps it is one reason that our town is tuming into a jet- serviced suburb for the world's commercial elite. Whatevei the .�.� cause, it is still no reason to accept social sterility azid total ' ecanomic depe�xlence on outside investors. _„� New ski lifts and new hotels are lots of fim, but once the novelty wears off the fact remains that Aspen is becoming a pawn '`! in other people's games. Local residents azid local gwemment ,._� are having less and less say in what gces on here, and this is � �� neither necessary nor right. Nor is it economically saad for Aspen as a community, as opposed to a commodity. For lcmg-term ,:;_i economic resilience and vitality, we need more locally owned business and more locals owning property here, not more injec- '-� tions of other people's cash. A resort owned and operated by chains ani ccmglomerates is not a real town, even if it still lodcs like ane. Its past is dead and it has no future that it +i can call its own. It may lodc good on paper, but that's as far as it gces. It is govemment that bears the responsibility for keeping the balance in a community, for setting things right when they go -1 wrong. We have recognized our responsibility to care for our Iland, water and air and set up the government processes for taking care of these. What we are only begirnii�g to recognize is ` the equally great importance of a stror� local human comm�mity = � �,� ?. � �d economy. Setting up the mechanisms for l�after these :-�.�: I is no easy task, a� we have little precedent to guide us, but k I these are no excuses for shirking the task. We can let wr town �;f; 1 slip away from vs or we can become real leaders in the ski x business. ;: '� Some people in wr local governments are maintaining that ,-.� ;� K. . �� w,. _ _ - R�/( ....... ... .... ..... . � : ' . � . .. . . . . .. . . i' . �. . � s'� .t{,. . . . � " • • � . .

Perhaps particular questions, such as the Aspen Skiing Company master plan azr! the effects of their prices on the local econoory should be deait with separately. But they need to ' be dealt with on the seme level, and that is not being done. We a lavish great care ard expense on our grass, trees, and wildlife, ;:� but our tnman ecalomy is pretty much left to run wild. .
