STAFF DIRECTION: Staff presented the materials from the packet, and Mick presented a graph with
information on population growth, showing a decline in numbers of younger people, increase in numbers of
older people. Following board discussion, staff was directed to add information that a real estate transfer tax is a
long term fix that will be pursued, and to identify that the info/recommendations were prepared for FAB by
staff. Tom suggested that a ballot issue could incorporate replacement of a property tax with a real estate
transfer tax if it becomes legal. Tom suggested and the board directed that the board discuss this weekly at
work session, with 5 general issues: property or use tax, dedicated or not, time limited or not, dollar amount
(retention of current amount collected or increase), and what services are at risk. Staff was directed to set up
presentations with Board of Realtors and ACRA.
WORK SESSION ITEM: Stillwater Discussion, Troy Rayburn
STAFF DIRECTION: Cindy Christiansen presented the issue with the deed restriction, and the board directed
John Ely to prepare the necessary amendment to allow the deed restriction to be in place later, not before permit
issuance, as the approval currently requires. Ed Sadler presented options that would allow the board to proceed
now to avoid a loss of S800,000, based upon building costs increasing 15%per year over the last 11 years as
well as delay costs of 20%. The BOCC directed that staff provide clarification on the fire code and our land use
code, whether class A rated treated wood shake shingles were rejected by fire department in our amendment/test
case, and further clarification on whether stone includes gravel, and bring these back to board in a work session.

STAFF DIRECTION: The board requested that John Ely draft changes to charter to conform to law, per
Jeffrey's recommendations, if appropriate, and bring back for work session discussion before the 8/28 first
reading deadline. The board also requested an opinion from John on whether we could craft a ballot issue
consistent with TABOR that would allow the board in emergency situations to spend money from dedicated
funds like Open Space or Translator.
