WORK SESSION ITEM: Review of Master Planning Update and Proposed Facilities Construction Projects,
David Detwiler — Dave presented a brief overview of the County's recent facility planning history. He
explained the current allocated office space does not meet current or future needs of County departments housed
at the in -town campus. The City of Aspen had recently contracted with RNL, an architectural, interior -design
and engineering firm) to do a facility master -planning study. This was the same firm that conducted the
County's 2006 study and the County has also contracted with that firm for a current study. Joe DiSalvo spoke
of the facility deficiencies the Sheriff's Office experiences. Dave outlined 4 options for facility development
and renovation which includes building additional square footage, yet to be determined, on property owned by
the County between the Plaza and Jail.
STAFF DIRECTION: Staff were directed to bring back the options identified for further discussion.
WORK SESSION ITEM: Caucus Discussion, Cindy Houben, John Ely - John Ely was not present. Cindy
Houben gave an overview of the Caucus County caucus system. Board discussion ensued. A recommendation
was made to improve the caucus system by the Board establishing better criteria for Board recognition of a
caucus area, and more guidelines for how the caucuses develop recommendations to the Board. Discussion
ensued.
STAFF DIRECTION: None informational only
WORK SESSION ITEM: New Proposals for 105 ESPN Winter X Games - Mike Kraemer gave an overview
of the requests from ESPN that are new for this year's X Games event. These include: 1) Hold concerts at the
Buttermilk venue; 2) Hold a fireworks show at the conclusion of one of the evening concerts; 3) Serve Alcohol
at the concerts. Several concerns were expressed by the board: regarding fireworks, there was concern
expressed that we have not heard from the neighbors about the potential for concerts and fireworks; whether
fireworks are too close to the airport; whether non percussive fireworks could be used. Concern was also
expressed about potential problems of hosting a new event at the base. The ESPN representative indicated that
fireworks are not as important as the concert and alcohol use. Rob favors allowing the concerts. George favors
non -percussive fireworks, and getting neighborhood feedback on concerts before approval. Michael was
concerned about noise impacts to the community, and favors non -percussive fireworks displays, concert and
limited alcohol sales. The Board requested ESPN be part of the message about recreational marijuana use being
illegal and unacceptable in public.
STAFF DIRECTION: None informational only.
