SITE CHALLENGES& PROJECT BACKGROUND
In 2014,the City of Aspen identified the Castle Creek Bridge and Hallam Street corridor as a deficient link in Aspen's bicycle
and pedestrian network. Safe and efficient travel options for cyclists and pedestrians are limited through this area due to
topographic, property, and geometric constraints. This is one of the top ten accident locations in the city. Most of the
infrastructure between 7th Street and the west side of Castle Creek Bridge has received no significant upgrade since 1962
and many repairs are required. Through extensive public outreach, multiple connectivity studies and experiments, and
conceptual planning the City of Aspen developed a project plan to address this critical connection.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Castle Creek Bridge/Hallam Street Improvement Project seeks to improve safety and function for pedestrians,cyclists
and motorists on the busiest street in Aspen, CO. Key project components include: a protected 8-foot-wide concrete trail,
upgraded bus shelters, repaired roadway and improved intersections at both Seventh and Eighth Street. These
improvements will increase user safety, promote multi-modal connectivity, upgrade our public transportation
infrastructure and enhance corridor aesthetics. A selection of project renderings is on page 2 or visit the project website.
The project design has been a collaboration with many stakeholders including the City of Aspen Transportation, Streets,
Engineering, Parks and Utilities. Colorado Department of Transportation and the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority
have been critical stakeholders through the design of this project. Public and stakeholder outreach will continue to be a
top priority for the duration of the project. Please contact staff with input during this period of construction using the
information listed above.

BUS INFORMATION
The RFTA bus stop at 8th Street(inbound and outbound)will close on April 2 and relocate to the 4th and Main Street stop.
It is anticipated that the 8th Street stop will be closed for the duration of this project.
Additional anticipated bus stop closures: 7th Street, 6th Street and 2nd Street (outbound).
There will be a We-Cycle station located near the inbound and outbound 4th Street bus stops. Check your bus stop for
informational signage.
RFTA bus service is free from the Brush Creek Intercept Lot through Aspen.There will be additional buses running between
Rubey Park and the Brush Creek Intercept lot Monday-Friday during peak morning and evening commute hours beginning
May 1. Parking at all RFTA Park and Ride locations including the Intercept Lot and Buttermilk is free. Buses do not have to
take the Power Plant detour and will be the fastest way to get around and out of town.
NEW (3/21): The RFTA BRT buses will temporarily add the Maroon Creek Kiss-n-Ride as an inbound BRT stop and the
roundabout stop as an outbound BRT stop.
PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST DETOUR
A pedestrian and cyclist detour via Marolt Open Space Trail is anticipated to be in
effect April to Mid-August. On the detour maps, the official pedestrian detour is
w marked in light green. Pedestrians entering Aspen will detour just before the Castle
• ,, Creek Bridge onto the Marolt Open Space Trail. If you are on the north side of
'-° CO-82, use the underpass at Bugsy Barnard Park to access the trail. From the trail,
turn onto Hopkins Avenue and left at 4th Street. Pedestrians and cyclists wishing to
�` cross Main Street are urged to cross at 4th Street with the use of the rapid flashing
" „ beacon. Please follow detour signage.
Y� t=
�.� !
HOW TO SUCCEED:Tools to lessen the traffic and frustration during detour periods
1 I PLAN AHEAD-Take the time to plan your week and daily commute by understanding traffic impacts and delays.
When possible, shift your schedule around peak times (Inbound: 7-9 AM/Outbound: 3-6 PM)
2 I TEAM UP-Grab a friend and commute together. Encourage others to try new modes of transportation. Utilize
CommuterConnect.net to find people heading the same direction as you.
3 I DRIVE LESS-Try a new mode of transit—whether that is using public transportation, biking, ridesharing or walking to
meetings -anything helps. Remember—the fastest way in and out of town will be the bus. For a free option, park at the
Brush Creek Intercept Lot or Buttermilk and ride into town.

PROJECT HISTORY
• 2014—Castle Creek Bridge and Hallam Street corridor identified as a deficient link in Aspen's bicycle and
pedestrian network.The City of Aspen Open Space and Trails identified this deficiency as its number one priority
project.
• 2014—The City contracted Loris&Associates to develop a conceptual plan including public outreach that would
improve the corridors overall function and safety
• 2015—Public outreach and planning continues for Living Lab Experiment due to public and stakeholder concerns
that narrowing the roadway lanes on the bridge would have a negative impact on traffic and congestion
• 2016—City directed Loris &Associates to proceed with construction drawings
• Summer 2016—Living Lab Experiment was implemented to assess real conditions of the proposed design.The
experiment determined that there are no substantial impacts to traffic flow and traffic patterns created by the
proposed design. During the lab, there was a 67% increase in pedestrian and cyclist traffic over the bridge during
over a five-week off-season span.
• Winter 2016—Snow Lab experiment which studied the impact of relocating the Hallam Street pedestrian
crossing at 8th Street and the impact on bus movements,traffic flow and snow removal operations. With input
from RFTA,the public, city staff and the design team,the appropriate adjustments were made based on the
outcome of this experiment. City staff through the public outreach process learned that a majority of the public
supported these proposed improvements and felt that the project will be a positive improvement for the
community.
• 2017—The project was placed for bid originally in the Spring of 2017 and did not receive a bid due to the conflict
with ongoing large projects within the valley and staffing for a complex project.The project was advertised a
second time in fall 2017 and received the one bid from Gould Construction in November.
• 2018—Preconstruction outreach launches for construction beginning April 2, 2018.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
WORK SESSION DATE: March 27, 2018
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2017 Budget Update
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Connie Baker
ISSUE STATEMENT: This budget update gives preliminary year-end results for all
County funds for 2017 and estimates year-end fund balance levels for the General and
Capital Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Finance department is in the process of closing out the County's 2017 books. The
numbers shown in this presenation are not final, but will give the Board an estimate of
year-end results. Following is a discussion of the major revenue areas, expenditure
categories, and the resulting change in fund balance.
Revenues
Property Tax—County property tax is a very stable source of revenue with collection rates
of approximately 99.9%. 2017 is a revaluation year with property values re-set to June
2016 market levels. The increase in market values brought a busy summer of Board of
Equalization hearings,but the effect of tax abatements granted through the hearings won't
be felt until 2018.
Sales Tax—2017 sales tax was 3.8%greater than prior year and 1.9% above budget. Staff
had a cautious 2017 forecast of 2.4% over prior year, but actual sales tax was $125,780
more than the forecast. The sales tax is split between the General, Capital, and Road &
Bridge funds.
Community Development Fees — Building Inspection fees were sluggish during the first
quarter of 2017 but picked up significantly as the year went on. Total Community
Development revenues were 38% greater than budget.
Investment Income—The rate of return for investment income was budgeted at 0.85%,but
the actual rate was 1.01%. This revenue is allocated to County funds based on fund
balance, so that a declining fund balance will bring less revenue even if the earnings
percentage was higher. In the Capital Fund,there was an additional$168,458 in investment
income from the Certificates of Participation issued in November 2016.
Miscellaneous Revenues—
Un-budgeted revenue was received in three areas:
1
❖ Contributions to the 800MHz radio conversion by public safety entities were
received in 2016, but we were required to book a portion of these revenues in
2017,proportionate to the expenditures for the project. 2016 showed a revenue
shortfall,while 2017 shows excess revenue of$745,131.
❖ $350,000 received from the Wexner/Two Shoes land exchange,which goes into
the Park Dedication Fees restricted fund balance.
❖ $125,000 in a CORE grant and $21,138 in Holy Cross rebates for the Public
Works solar array.
Grants that will be received in 2018 rather than 2017:
❖ $325,580 in CMAQ grants for commuter vans will not be received in 2017 and
will carry forward to 2018.
❖ $254,134 in grant revenue for Phase II of the Coke Ovens project will also be
carried forward to 2018.
❖ In the Translator Fund, 52% of the DOLA Broadband Middle Mile grant was
received in 2017. The remaining $433,874 will be carried forward to 2018.
Airport Revenues — Two airline companies had administrative transitions and did not
update the landing fee and rental rates in their computer systems. Airport staff worked to
establish new contacts and correct the remittance issues. At the time of writing this update,
Airport revenue journal entries and accruals have not yet been booked. Airport airline
revenue is expected to be on track once this process is complete. There remains $357,000
outstanding on FAA grants which should be received in 2018 once the environmental
assessments are concluded.Airport concessions were closed for approximately two months
during the changeover period with the new vendor, bringing in $61,600 less revenue than
budget.
The attached revenue table shows 2017 revenue results for each department and fund with
a few comments. General Fund revenues received are at 111% of budget; Capital Fund
revenues are at 103% of budget; and total County revenues are at 100% of budget.
Expenditures
Tables attached to this memo show expenditure budget vs. actual results for the categories
of personnel and operations. An additional table shows non-recurring expenditure budget
vs. actual results for grants, capital, projects, and replacement schedules.
Personnel — General Fund personnel costs are at 97% of budget for the year, and total
County personnel costs are also at 97%. Personnel savings in the General Fund total
$503,674, and savings in other funds total $551,421.
Operations—General Fund operations expenditures are at 107% of budget. Departmental
savings total $71,659; however, we budgeted to have $439,517 in savings. This leaves a
net over expenditure of $367,858. Total County operations expenditures are at 99% of
budget.
2
Other Expenditures — Less than half of all the County grant, capital, project, and
replacement schedule budget was spent in 2017. Many of these involve multi-year projects
and budget will be carried forward to 2018. Consequently, fund balance estimates in this
report do not include any savings from this category.
Health Insurance — The Health Insurance fund was budgeted at net zero for 2017 (equal
revenues and expenditures). It was a year of higher than average claims for our self-insured
plan, but with a majority of the claims lower than our stop loss limit. The result is a net
loss of$676,003 which brings the unrestricted health insurance fund balance down from
$3,795,732 to $3,119,729. This is still a healthy fund balance,well above the $1.6 million
minimum recommended by Lockton, our County insurance broker.
Transit Sales & Use Tax Fund — 90% of the expenditures in this fund are pass-through
sales tax. The 1% transit sales tax totaled $10.6 million in 2017 and was paid out to City
of Aspen, Snowmass Village, and RFTA, with a small part going to debt service. An
additional $4.3 million(81%) of the 1/2 cent transit sales tax was paid out to RFTA. When
sales tax revenue is greater than budget, the expenditures for pass-through payments are
also higher than budget.
General Fund Balances
Please refer to the attached chart. For budgetary purposes,the County's General Fund fund
balance is divided into four pots. The Operating Reserve & Contingency and the
TABOR Reserve have a combined balance of$5.2 million. These balances are calculated
on a percentage basis (expenditures and revenues respectively), so the required balances
increase as the budget grows. Restricted balances will increase to almost $1.3 million
with the $350,000 addition to the Park Dedication Fee balance. Other restricted balances
include Smuggler Superfund, Tipsy Taxi, Clerk's motor vehicle late fees, and the Animal
Shelter.
The General Fund Undesignated Operating Reserve began the year at $4.7 million and
was budgeted to decrease by $232,336 in order to fund the startup of a County Public
Health department. Budget supplemental requests further reduced the balance by
$975,181. 2017 brought surplus revenue of$2.19 million. Personnel savings more than
compensate for the over expenditure in operations, leaving a net savings of$135,816. The
revenue surplus and expenditure savings offset the budgeted use of fund balance. A net
$1.1 million 2017 addition to fund balance brings the Undesignated Operating Reserve to
a year-end total of over$5.8 million. This result is $850,000 better than the prior estimate.
The Capital Fund balance is also included in this chart. The beginning balance of$5.47
million is net of all carryforwards from 2016. This means that the beginning balance
assumes all money for multi-year projects would be spent. The 2017 Capital budget
planned to further spend down fund balance by $2 million for roads, facilities, vehicles,
and IT projects. The 2017 savings of$6.8 million is the amount of multi-year projects that
have not yet been completed. Staff was counting on having more savings than this to carry
forward to 2018 for the completion of projects like the Admin and Sheriff facility,the ERP
3
conversion, Courthouse remodel design, and other smaller projects. Consequently, the
ending fund balance is $338,020 less than projected.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Prosperous Economy
A key success factor to the Strategic Core Focus Area of Prosperous Economy is the
responsible and accountable stewardship of county assets, creating balanced five-year
operating budgets and ten-year capital plans that ensure long-term sustainability of services
and infrastructure.
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS:
• 2017 Revenue and Expenditure Results
• Fund Balance Estimates
BUDGETARY IMPACT: The 2017 results in General Fund Operations are $850,000
better than projected, but results in the Capital fund are $338,020 less than expected.

Request Type: Adjustment to Operations _ I Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: General Fund
Staff Responsible: Kelly McNicholas Kury I Prepared By: Kelly McNicholas Kury
Budget Staff Review- Name: Connie Baker Date: 3/14/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
This one time budget adjustment increase is requested in order to pay for 14 additional weeks for a temporary agency
employee to support the 2018 Primary and General Elections in the areas of voter registration, ballot issuance and processing,
and operations. The approved 2018 budget for Elections includes eight weeks of a temporary agency employee. The need for
14 additional weeks stems from the resignation of our Election Specialist in January.A new specialist has been hired and
started in mid-March. To fully train a person in this position requires approximately six months and minimally one election
cycle. Additionally, the laws and rules for the Primary Election have changed allowing for all unaffiliated voters to vote on major
party primary ballots. We do not have data on which to estimate the voter participation levels and turnout under this new
election model. This change also renders new requirements for staff,the reconfiguring of procedures, and updating training for
judges. Accordingly, we are planning for higher than normal work volume due to the changes and the expanded opportunity for
unaffiliated voters to participate. We further are expecting high turnout and associated voter registration demands for the
midterm elections in November.
Originally, we expected that four weeks of additional support for each of the Primary and General elections would be sufficient
to assist a strong and well-trained staff. Should this request be approved, the breakdown of total hours allocated for the
temporary staff is 13 weeks for the Primary Election from April through June, and 9 weeks for the General Election from mid-
September through mid-November.

6) ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
In the course of hiring the Election Specialist, we may have identified some candidates who might be suitable to perform the
temporary assignment for either the Primary alone, or both the Primary and General elections. Hiring a temporary directly may
result in a small savings from hiring through a temporary agency, but the durations would remain the same.
Failure to bring on additional support for these Elections may cause diminished voter services, delays in sending ballots and
properly processing voted ballots, undesirable queues, or errors made by new and current staff who are rushed in their work. It
will further burden Elections staff with additional workload and hours at a time during the busy election cycle when significant
overtime and compacted deadlines already occur.

CivicClerk(the agenda management program)offers a Live and OnDemand video recording solution that directly integrates into
the CivicClerk product. This product has been evaluated by staff and we believe it provides a more efficient process for staff and
an integrated interface for end-users looking for past meeting information. Staff will no longer need to create a separate agenda
to upload into the Open Media product, which has caused delays in starting meetings on time. The annual cost of the video
recording service is $6,000/year (same as the current product Open Media) and a one-time video conversion setup cost of
$2,500. There will be a service overlap of a few months in which both vendors will be paid.

Request Type: Adjustment to Operations Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: General Fund
Staff Responsible: Jon Peacock Prepared By: Jon Peacock
Budget Staff Review-Name: Connie Baker Date: 3/20/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
Last year the Board committed$50,000 towards a$34 million expansion of West Springs Hospital in Grand Junction. This
supplemental appropriation will allow the donation to be made in 2018.
West Springs Hospital is the only psychiatric hospital between Denver and Salt Lake City. The current 32-bed facility cannot
accommodate the growing demand for available beds, and patient accommodations fall far short of today's requirements and
standards. On average,there are between 8-12 people on the waitlist for admission. They have no choice but to wait. The
lack of beds affects all western slope communities. Pitkin County, social services, law enforcement,the criminal justice system,
and healthcare providers are affected both emotionally and financially.
The expanded hospital addresses the lack of available space and the need to create a state-of-the-art healing environment.
The$34 million facility will increase capacity to 64 beds,with a special wing dedicated to the intensive care of children and
adolescents.

Department: Community Relations Budget Year: 2018
Request Type: Adjustment to Operations Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: General Fund—PEG Fees
Staff Responsible: Phylis Mattice Prepared By: Phylis Mattice
Budget Staff Review-Name: Connie Baker Date: 3/12/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
The Master Control system at GrassRoots runs two TV systems: GrassRoots and CGTV. The replacement and upgrade of their
current equipment is essential as it is beyond end-of-life.John Masters, GrassRoots TV Executive Director, has proposed $75k
being contributed from the 4 jurisdictions operating on CGTV: Town of Basalt- $5k, City of Aspen - $25k, Town of Snowmass
Village-$20k and Pitkin County-$25k. Current commitments received are$20k from Snowmass, $15k from Aspen, and$5k
from Basalt. John has stated that private funding sources are measuring the governments'investment before committing.
Background from John Masters on the need for the Master Control equipment follows:
The master control is the essential center of a complex digital signal management system and needs to be replaced
to meet our community's current and future technical expectations before it fails. It will serve the entire community for
at least the next eight to twelve years. Its quality and level of sophistication determines how GrassRoots and CGTV
operate, how they look and sound, on TV, on-line and on mobile devices. It runs the website, storing and handling
access to over 5000 on-line videos. It is the brain that plays back all programming on cable and broadcast TV channels,
website and live streams. It is the servers that dozens of non-profits use to link their programs to their own websites
and social media. Present servers are full and do not have the speed and capacity to store and playback HD content.
All five computers that work together and make up the backbone of the present master control use Windows XP
operating system, which Microsoft retired three years ago. It is no longer supported. There have been no updates for
three years. No new software can be incorporated into the system. The entire system is open to, and unprotected
from, present day viruses. The community's digital video archives are unprotected. Some of these machines and
accompanying accessories have been on-line for over a decade.They are working long past their expected end of life
date.
New master control technology will not only present our community HD video content in formats expected and standard
for virtually all web and broadcast content, it will:
-Enable utilization of the new HD channels provided for in the new cable franchise agreement,
-Allow for operational efficiencies due to great advancements in software and hardware,
-Lower operating costs, repair time,engineering time,
-Create more versatile digital options for community members and clients to communicate and connect on-line
and with mobile devices,and
-Allow for updates and improvements in service technology for many years.
GrassRoots has always reflected and channeled our true community. It does this by constantly evolving, adapting
every day to the interests of our producers and partners,which we still do, but we can't do it well, or fully, or ultimately
at all,with obsolete operating systems and technology.
Pitkin Staff had our contract TV Engineer, Wayne Brenegan review John Masters'quote of proposed equipment. He commented
that the list looks thorough, complete and appropriate. The system proposed by GrassRoots is a company that GrassRoots has
a long term relationship with,as they have been using an older model of the company's standard definition server for many years.
The new Franchise Agreement with Comcast is providing 2 HD channels, one provided to GrassRoots 90 days after all
jurisdictions have approved the new agreement and one for the 4 jurisdictions 2 years after that. This equipment is essential for
HD broadcasting.

the Employee Deed Restricted Program
Department: Human Resources/Housing Budget Year: 2018
Request Type: Adjustment to Operations Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: General Fund/Housing Fund
Staff Responsible: Rich Englehart Prepared By: Rich Englehart/Connie Baker
Budget Staff Review- Name: Connie Baker Date: 3/22/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
Due to the amount of success the County has had in our deed restricted program, we are requesting consideration to
move a portion of the EHOP funds to the deed restricted program. We had an overall budget of$2 million for the deed
restricted program, and as of this date we have seven employees who have accessed and closed on the program with
one in the pipeline. The balance remaining will allow for one or possibly two more opportunities depending on the
qualifying factors.
EHOP is a more challenging program which is more conducive to extreme needs, and thus has not been accessed as
often. The program was funded at$300,000 and we have used $40,429 to-date with no interest in the pipeline. This is a
positive program as well,just not as conducive for employee housing as our deed restricted program.
The request is to move$200,000 from EHOP to the Housing fund for the deed restricted program in order to provide
additional opportunities for our employees. We continue to have interest, and we feel this program needs additional
funding for the remainder of the year, using funds that are not being put to use for housing.
Staff will bring a more detailed presentation in the future that will show how successful the deed restricted program has
been in providing housing opportunities for our employees, meeting the BOCC goal to provide housing, and how we are
increasing the affordable housing portfolio for Pitkin County.

and Septic System Install
Department: Open Space and Trails Budget Year: 2018
Request Type: Capital Improvements Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: Open Space and Trails
Staff Responsible: Gary Tennenbaum Prepared By: Ted O'Brien
Budget Staff Review-Name: Connie Baker Date: 3/8/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
The historic Mather House, built in 1898, is located on Pitkin County Open Space and Trails' (OST)Emma Townsite open space
property and is currently under analysis for needed infrastructure repairs and restoration by OST staff and the Pitkin County
Historic Preservation Officer, Suzannah Reid. This analysis will be completed in May 2018 and we expect that many necessary
infrastructure replacements and repairs will be identified in the plan. However, in the meantime, staff is already aware that the
Mather House is in desperate need of a new well line pipe, septic system, and possibly a new well, which are three things Pitkin
County OST staff would like to complete while the overall analysis is being performed. In doing so,we can get ahead of the main
house project, thus lengthening the project window this coming build season.
The Mather House well pump, and pressure switch were replaced shortly after OST purchased the property in 2008; both of
which are currently operating correctly. However, either the well casing or the water line running between the well and the house
is leaking at a rate of 7 gallons per minute when the pump is on (determined November, 15th 2017 by Samuelson Pump
Company). OST staff had American Leak Detectors perform a site assessment where the system was charged with helium so
the leaks can be detected with helium detectors, but a leak could not be located. This result usually indicates that there is either
a leak in the well casing, or where the water line meets the well. It is also quite possible that the well casing is cracked. A steel
piped well that old cannot be repaired; it's simply usually so fragile that repairs end up contaminating the well. Regardless of
which is the culprit,the existing water line from the well to the house is so old, it is recommended that the line be replaced. These
types of issues can only be determined once excavation has occurred. For this reason, we are asking for enough funding to
repair whatever may end up being the case once the well and well line are excavated and exposed. The worst possible scenario
is that we need to replace both the well and well line.
As for septic(or lack thereof)on the Mather House site,the current system is the original railroad cross-tie vault that was installed
when the house was constructed in 1898. The current vault system is in dire need of replacement and brought up to a modern
septic system that meets current code. For the past few years, the vault system has had to be pumped out 2-3 times a year
(which is$800-$1200 per visit). In addition to this problem,the drain field cannot be located or may not even exist,which means
this may be a true vault system that does not meet state or county Environmental Health septic specifications. It is critical for any
future use of the house that the existing vault system be replaced with a modern septic system. OST will ensure the new system
accommodate the Mather House as well as the potential uses of the Emma Store Building. Pitkin County Environmental Health
Department has confirmed that installing a septic system that would accommodate both buildings would be the preferred
approach, and would ultimately be less costly and less of an environmental impact than a separate septic system for each
building.
Since December of 2009,the Mather House has been leased and OST has received$98,262 in payments through March 2018.
The tenant will be vacating the Mather House by the end of April 2018.

6) ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
After numerous failed attempts to locate the leak in the Mather House well line and/or well, the alternative to this supplemental
to replace the water line from the well to the house, and possibly the well, is to continue using the existing leaking well line and/or
well,which was determined by Samuelson Pump Company to be leaking 7 gallons of water per minute.
As for the septic, the alternative to this supplemental request to replace the original septic system with a modern septic system,
is to continue using the existing septic vault. The existing septic vault is as old as the Mather House itself, is made of Railroad
Cross-ties, and has to be pumped out 2-3 times a year(which is$800-$1200 per visit). In addition to this problem,the drain field
cannot be located or may not even exist, which means this may be a true vault system that does not meet state or county
Environmental Health septic specifications and could potentially now or in the future leach waste towards the Roaring Fork River.

Project/Service Name: Prince Creek/Bull Pen Parking Area Work Session Date: March 27,2018
Department: Open Space and Trails Budget Year: 2018
Request Type: Capital Improvements Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: Open Space and Trails Fund
Staff Responsible: Gary Tennenbaum Prepared By: Jessie Young
Budget Staff Review-Name: Date: 03/14/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
This supplemental request is for funding the construction of the Prince Creek Trailhead/Parking Area at the Bull Pen Open Space
Parcel. The total requested amount/fiscal impact is$196,967 from the Open Space and Trails Fund. Construction of the parking
area is an action item identified in the adopted Prince Creek Management Plan. The parking area in conjunction with the trail
extension completed in the fall of 2017 seek to improve safety along Prince Creek Road by separating bike and pedestrian traffic
from motorized traffic to the extent possible and providing off-road parking to accommodate the demands of the trail network on
the Prince Creek side of the Crown.
Prince Creek parking options were discussed at the March 6, 2018 BOCC work session and unanimous direction was given to
move forward with this budget supplemental request. The Pitkin County Open Space and Trails Board (OSTB) also voted
unanimously to recommend the construction of the Bull Pen East Side parking area with a budget of$196,967 at their February
22, 2018 board meeting. The plan supported for implementation is on the east side of what is referred to as the Bull Pen parcel.
The conceptual plans were released for public comment and reviewed by neighbors at an on-site meeting. The east option was
selected as it was the more economical choice, provides opportunities for better screening from the road and neighbors and has
the potential for expansion if deemed necessary in the future. OST will continue to work with impacted neighbors to minimize the
impacts of the parking area to the extent possible. A Location and Extent review with the Planning and Zoning Commission is
scheduled for April 3, 2018.
The conceptual plans for the parking area include 35 standard parking spaces, a porta-a-john structure, and signage kiosk. In
addition to the parking area,the conceptual design and cost estimate, prepared by the County Engineering Department,
includes roadway improvements at the crossing of Prince Creek Road, safety signage and vegetative screening at the parking
area and on private property. The roadway improvements at the crossing of Prince Creek Road include replacing and extending
the existing culvert,which has created a flooding hazard along Prince Creek,widening the road at the crossing to meet
standards, clearing vegetation to provide recommended sight lines, and an at grade painted crossing with safety signage.
Signage will include advanced warning signage advising vehicles that a crossing is ahead with a recommended reduced speed
limit of 25 mph as well as signage at the crossing. The crossing will require trail users to stop for vehicular traffic similar to
crossings of the Rio Grande Trail across Upper and Lower River Road.The OSTB endorsed traffic calming speed tables or a
raised crossing; however, OST staff has met with the County's Road and Bridge and Engineering staff and recommends
proceeding with an at grade crossing at this time with the appropriate safety provisions listed above.Additional traffic calming of
a raised crossing or speed tables are not warranted at this time with the current vehicle speeds and volumes; the raised
crossing is problematic in that it gives trail users the impression that they have the right-of-way,when the protocol is for the trail
user to wait until traffic is clear to cross. It also becomes problematic for snow plowing.The traffic calming elements may be
phased over time and with demonstrated need; however, if the BOCC wants to proceed with them at this time the costs of both
an asphalt and concrete raised crossing are included below.

Department: Library Budget Year: 2018
Request Type: Capital Improvements Adjustment Type: One Time Adjustment
Fund: Library
Staff Responsible: Kathleen Chandler Prepared By: Kathleen Chandler
Budget Staff Review-Name: Connie Baker Date: 3/13/18
1) PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FISCAL IMPACT:
Money to replace staff office furniture is budgeted in the Library's capital replacement schedule for 2019. Because the County is
purchasing furniture this spring for the administrative offices, the Library would like to include its order, too, so that a greater
discount will be realized from the larger volume of the purchase. The Library has been saving revenues to make this purchase
and fill other long standing commitments, and there is enough money on hand to buy the furniture this year instead of next. As
furniture layouts are still in development,the pricing used here is an estimate. Any unspent budget will be returned to the Library
fund balance.

County Board of County Commissioners to serve five-year terms. Board members will be required to attend
quarterly meetings (subject to change) and special sessions. The local Board of Health fulfills the objectives
of the Board, which are to promote and protect public health and environmental quality in the community
through people,prevention and partnerships.The Board of Health observes their authority which rests in
accordance with the powers and duties set forth in the Colorado Public Health Act of 2008 (Colorado
Revised Statutes [C.R.S.] Section §25-1-508). Per statute, there are several factors which we need to
consider:
♦ Each county board of health shall consist of at least five members.
• The terms of the initial appointments are staggered, and then for five years thereafter.

*Once a local board of health is established, a president and other officers should be elected at an
organizational meeting.
*The Public Health Director may serve as secretary, at the board's discretion, but shall not be a member of
the board.
*Regular meetings of a board of health must be held at least once every three months. Special meetings may
be called with three days notice, or in the case of an emergency twenty-four hours notice by the public health
director, the president of the board, or by the majority of the members of the board.
•A county board may adopt, and at any time, may amend bylaws in relation to its meetings and the
transaction of its business.
♦A majority of the board shall constitute a quorum.
members of the board shall serve without compensation, with the exception of necessary travel and
subsistence expenses to attend meetings.
*Applicants are interviewed and appointed by the Board of County Commissioners.
*Board membership reflect the diversity of the community it serves, and consider board members who
expertise in the areas of:
• Public Health
• Environmental Health
• Medicine/Nursing
• Health Promotion/Health Education
• Mental Health/Social Work
• Education
• Community Advocacy

The current Board of Health members have identified a seven member board, with one representative from
the BoCC, one member from the Town of Snowmass and one member from the City of Aspen. The remaining
four members are At-large members coming from the community and possessing expertise outlined above
and/or identified health priorities in the 2018 Regional Public Health Improvement Plan.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Core Focus Area: Livable & supportive Community. Success Factor
#5: Improved community engagement and participation
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS:

BACKGROUND: The Pitkin County Board of Health is the governing body of the Pitkin County Public
Health Agency. The Board consists of seven volunteer Pitkin County residents, appointed by the Pitkin
County Board of County Commissioners to serve five-year terms. Board members will be required to attend
quarterly meetings (subject to change) and special sessions. The local Board of Health fulfills the objectives
of the Board, which are to promote and protect public health and environmental quality in the community
through people, prevention and partnerships.The Board of Health observes their authority which rests in
accordance with the powers and duties set forth in the Colorado Public Health Act of 2008 (Colorado
Revised Statutes [C.R.S.] Section §25-1-508). Per statute, there are several factors which we need to
consider:
• Each county board of health shall consist of at least five members.
• The terms of the initial appointments are staggered, and then for five years thereafter.
• Members of the county board of health shall reside within the county where the public health agency is
located.
• No business or professional group or governmental entity shall constitute a majority of the board.
*Once a local board of health is established, a president and other officers should be elected at an
organizational meeting.
*The Public Health Director may serve as secretary, at the board's discretion, but shall not be a member of
the board.
*Regular meetings of a board of health must be held at least once every three months. Special meetings may
be called with three days notice, or in the case of an emergency twenty-four hours notice by the public health
director, the president of the board, or by the majority of the members of the board.
•A county board may adopt, and at any time, may amend bylaws in relation to its meetings and the
transaction of its business.
•A majority of the board shall constitute a quorum.
members of the board shall serve without compensation, with the exception of necessary travel and
subsistence expenses to attend meetings.
*Applicants are interviewed and appointed by the Board of County Commissioners.
*Board membership reflect the diversity of the community it serves, and consider board members who
expertise in the areas of:
• Public Health
• Environmental Health
• Medicine/Nursing
• Health Promotion/Health Education
• Mental Health/Social Work
• Education
• Community Advocacy
• Media Relations
• Business
The current Board of Health members have identified a seven member board, with one representative from
the BoCC, one member from the Town of Snowmass and one member from the City of Aspen. The remaining
four members are At-large members coming from the community and possessing expertise outlined above
and/or identified health priorities in the 2018 Regional Public Health Improvement Plan.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Core Focus Area: Livable & supportive Community. Success Factor
#5: Improved community engagement and participation
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS:
