PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. STAFF COMMENTS Brush Creek Valley/Droste Mountain Park The Mountain Park's second access portal through Hidden Valley was opened June 10th Dale Will acknowledged all the trail construction efforts by Town of Snowmass Village Parks&Recreation Department,Pitkin OST'Maintenance Crew,City of Aspen Parks& Recreation Department and the volunteers that joined in with the Roaring Fork Outdoors Volunteers on National Trails Day. Snowmass Village Parks and Recreation,Pam Mulleavy,was specifically mentioned for skillfully maneuvering the trail busting machine. Naming committee assemblage is moving forward. The committee will meet over the summer and will be empowered to select a name with a naming goal of September 15 . The committee will be charged with soliciting public input Naming committee will be comprised of seven members: one from Aspen Council, Snowmass Council,Pitkin BOCC, and one member from each entities open space board,plus one member representing Aspen Valley Land Trust. OSTB will be represented by Hawk Greenway. Jack Hatfield will represent the BOCC. Plans for June 28th Opening Day Cerebration is progressing. Colorado State Senator, Gail Schwartz has confirmed she will attend and speak at the celebration. The BOCC requested an invitation be extended to Colorado U.S. Congressman, Scott Tipton. BOCC asked if information about the Mountain Park's access points,terrain and user skill levels have been provided to the public. Staff responded access information has 6/14/2011 OSTB and BOCC Regular Joint Session Minutes Page 1 of 6 • been posted on the website, area maps are posted at kiosks, and more specific detailed informational handouts will be developed.. Dale added the trail through Hidden Valley was designed as an intermediate trail while the climb up from Radar Road is more advanced with areas of sustained 18%grade. Development of the long range management plan is on schedule. The overall wildlife study and cultural historical survey is currently being conducted. Staff is anticipating adoption of the long range management plan by the end of 2011. Rio Grande Trail Woody Creek Section _ Lindsey Utter recently met with Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT)to review CDOT's comments on the bridge structural specifications and adjacent trail . . specifications.CDOT was pleased with OST's submission and made only minor comments. Next step is review from CDOT's Denver headquarters,and that Will take a minimum of two months.Project construction will be determined when final our.: approvals are received and at that time the seasonal viability for construction.Bridge. .-. setting and trail completion from Woody Creek intersection to Elam Road are considered one project(Phase 2). Phase 1 will be completed this summer when soft surface areas are finished and clean up from last year's paving is completed from Elam Road to McLain Flats Road. Staff is beginning to develop a public scoping process for the Rio Grande Trail from McLain Flats to Stein Park. Tim Persutti entered joint regular session at 10:40 a.m. Kevin Wright, Perry Will, Mike Porras, and Julie Mao entered joint regular session at 10:45 a.m. Other Power Driven Mobility Device(OPDMD)Management Pla4.—Drafi The OPDMD Management Plan is in response to recent Department of Justice ADA compliance ruling. Wheelchairs are not considered an OPDMD and as such are allowable where they can be operated. The DOJ ruling defined limitations for OPDMD use.. The draft management plan is currently soliciting public comments ending June 28th. Staff has been working with other RGT entities seeking a uniform policy. After public . comment period,staff plans to bring back to both Boards the master plan for adoption in July. Other Power Driven Mobility Devices are only to be used on the Pitkin County OST system by those individuals with mobility impairments'. OPDMD use on Pitkin County's OST system will be designated into three categories: . . . • Open trails: open to OPDMD use (trails that are similar to roads. example: Smuggler Mountain Road and Midnight Mine Road) • Restricted trails: OPDMD use is restricted and the device must fit requirements (wider dual surface trails. example:Rio Grande Trail) • A width of 32"or less Other Power-Driven Mobility Device Management Plan Draft is attached hereto and made apart of this record as "Exhibit A" 6/14/2011 OSTB and BOCC Regular Joint Session Minutes . Page 2 of 6 • Must be electrically powered • Vehicle must weigh 60 lbs. or less(not including the rider) Closed trails: OPDMD use is prohibited or the trail is closed to the public (soft surface steep single track trail areas) Dale Will encouraged both Boards to express any additional concerns or comments using the public comment link posted on the OST website or by direct email to Lindsey Utter Introduction-Paul Holsinger, OST Land Officer Bard D'Autrechy introduced OST's new Land Officer. Paul's last position was as a Trust Fellow with the Colorado Cattlemen's Land Trust where he held the position for a last year and a half Before that he was with Legacy Land Trust As Land Officer he will be stewarding all OST's conservation easements and post acquisition administrative processes. The Land Officer position resulted from the 2009 OST Strategic Plan implementation authorized by both Boards. BOARD COMMENTS Ashcroft Cabins The BOCC requested more information on how and when the Sunegga Cabin will be removed. Dale responded with some historical background and added the original` agreement with the National Forest Service was to have both the Sunegga and Fitzpatrick cabins removed by the time of the land transfer to the Forest Service. Since the land transfer the Forest Service(FS)waived the original requirement and extended the removal to December of 2011. Staff and OSTB have purposed an auction this summer for sale and removal. The cabin of interest will be the Sunegga which has built by Stewart Mace and holds historic value and is in better shape. The auction will give extra bidding points to any non-profit agency that would keep the cabin in public use A new development occurred June 13th when Dale received a call from the FS saying the FS needs to do a cultural survey(Section 106)prior to removal. Staff will be working with the FS as this saga continues. Dorthea Farris and Patti Kay Clapper entered joint'regular session at`10:55'aan Living with Coyotes—DOW Presentation OST invited DOW to come and share their coyote knowledge with the Boards and the public. This request resulted from a recent incident on Smuggler Mountain when Et coyote took a dog from the trail with owners present.Dale included with his introduction OST's philosophy to manage properties in concert with each property's natural ecology. Colorado Division of Wildlife(DOW)representatives Kevin Wright,Perry Will (Wildlife Manager& Supervisor DOW area 8),Mike Porras (Public Information Officer DOW area 8),Julie Mao(local DOW Wildlife Biologist), and Dorthea Farris(DOW Wildlife Commissioner)were present to discuss coyotes. Topic began with a power'''' point presentation narrated by Kevin Wright2. The presentation consisted of Coyote biology, Colorado's nuisance wildlife laws,and wildlife conflict solutions.Kevin added information not in the power point content. State regulation specifically prohibits the 2A copy of the DOW's Coyote power point presentation is attached hereto and made part of this record as "Exhibit B" 6/14/2011 OS'1B and BOCC Regular Joint Session Minutes Page 3 of 6 feeding of foxes and coyotes also the Town of Snowmass Village has an ordinance prohibiting the feeding of all wildlife. If a human is bitten the DOW will try to remove and euthanizethat coyote,but finding the actual offending coyote is very difficult. The local DOW does want to be informed when aggressive coyote behavior is observed.The County can apply for a thirty day exemption to Amendment 14 (prohibits banned leg- hold type traps)when there are human health and safety concerns. DOW has found that coyote eradication programs do not work and can actually lead to coyotes compensating.. with increased litter size. Hazing coyotes(yelling,air horns,rocks, etc)has been found • to be the best deterrent and re-instills a coyote's healthy natural fear of people,,,.. Rob Ittner asked if there is any indication that the area's coyote population is growing and if coyote incidents are tracked by DOW. Coyote populations are not surveyed by the DOW and coyotes are actively hunted in the Roaring Fork Valley. Along the.Front Range incidents are tracked more closely than here,but Kevin included that he feels..the number of incidents are increasing and correlates to the valley's increasing population and coyote's increased human habituation. Kevin continued coyotes do not distinguish pets from other wildlife prey,competitor, or threat to their den. Small pets in particular. are viewed like any other source of food. Rob also asked what would trigger a .::,.... ... municipality to pursue a thirty day trapping exemption and how would a municipality. utilize the permit. Perry answered,if there was a threat to human health and safety then exemption would be issued through.the Colorado Department of Health and the permit:. issued by the local DOW office. Then DOW would use a wildlife service as their agent to set the trap.Kevin cautioned,that these traps are designed to kill and will contain a scent which will attract not only coyotes but unleashed dogs. Coyotes will not be relocated by DOW. Hawk Greenway asked for more information about the effectiveness of coyote hazing. Most of the research has occurred along the Front Range especially from the Denver communities. Those communities that have practiced hazing techniques have seen decline in coyote activity within their communities. DOW has posted signs at the base of Smuggler Mountain instructing the public how to react in a coyote's presence. Do not to run,fight back,and carry noise makers or rocks to throw at the coyote to intimidate and make your presence fearful to the coyote. Anne Rickenbaugh asked if the public should be aware of other predators:Mountain lion and great homed owl were noted.. Last winter's heavy snow fall kept the mountain lion's favorite food sources the mule deer at lower elevations. This fact is probably why the upper Rio Grande Trail saw a lot of mountain lion activity including an elk calf carcass near a home in the W/J subdivision. Jack Hatfield asked if coyotes have other predators beside humans. Wolves have been known to kill a coyote but coyotes are quicker and have been known to taunt the more powerful wolf from their kill. Mountain lion will kill a coyote,but they are not a preferred food source. . Staff was asked and replied that links to DOW's educational information about coyotes and mountain lions has been posted on the OST homepage website with the topic heading `Living with wildlife'. DOW offered additional outreach tools,printed materials,and 6/14/2011 OSTB and BOCC Regular Joint Session Minutes Page 4 of 6 signage. DOW believes in promoting informed responsible pet ownership, consequently when DOW is asked for trail recommendations the majority of the time DOW will recommend that all pets be leashed. Public Comments: Former Pitkin Commissioner and base of Smuggler Mountain resident, Patti Kay Clapper, asked both Boards to consider hosting public coyote hazing trainings similar to what has been offered in Denver. Tim Persutti,Debbie and Richard Jelinek's son-in-law, asked if penalties are associated with feeding foxes and coyotes. Kevin Wright answered there is a monetaryfine. Town of Snowmass Village Councilman,John Wilkensen,asked if DOW would consider recommending to the BOCC re-instituting the leash law on Smuggler Road. Kevin answered on public trails he prefers to see pets on leash at all times. Adding he understands people's desire for their pet to be off leash and under..,. voice command,but the pet owners need to aware and realize what could happen. On behalf of the Boards,Michael Owsley thanked the DOW staff for their presentation: Ranger Report: Ranger,John Armstrong updated the Boards on several recent trail occurrences. Recently along Smuggler Mountain Road two fawns were picked up by hikes believing the fawns had been abandoned. Aspen Ranger,Brian Long responded and retrieved the fawns. This is a reminder not to interfere with wildlife by touching or moving even if you think they need help. Rangers recently issued tickets for Segway use on the Rio Grande Trail. One was the owner of a newly opened Aspen Segway tour business who had incorrect information about trail use.Aspen has approved Segway use on city roads. Segways currently weigh more than 60 pounds and would not be allowed on trails by the OPDMD Management Plan. Recent Aspen Times editorial by Roger Marolt about trail use was briefly discussed and led to further discussions about publicly responding to editorials and public trail etiquette education. John reviewed trail etiquette,everyone yields to horses and bikes yield to pedestrians. Trail etiquette is based on courtesy and safety. Colorado state law requires bicyclists to announce before passing.John added staff has discussed whether to incorporate announced passing within Title 12 code. Inappropriate passing by bicyclists is the second largest trail complaint. The question of how trail etiquette would be applied to OPMD use on trails was discussed. Because OPDMD's are mechanized mobility they would fall into the same category as a bicycle.

OTHER POWER- DRIVEN MOBILITY DEVICE MANAGEMENT PLAN Exhibit A INTRODUCTION In recent years, the choice of mobility devices available to individuals with dis- abilities has increased dramatically. Questions began to arise concerning which mobility devices should be accommodated in public facilities and under what circumstances. The Department of Justice (DOJ) responded to these concerns by developing a two-tiered mobility device definition that defined the term wheelchair separately from other power-driven mobility device (OPDMD). Along with this clari- fication in definition, the DOJ established requirements to allow the use of devices in each definitional category. Use of wheelchairs and manually-powered mobil ity aids. A public entity shall permit individuals with mobility disabilities to use wheelchairs and manu- ally-powered mobility aids, such as walkers, crutches, awe. ,, s � canes, braces, or other similar devices designed for ,410{i '.. 4 use by individuals with mobility disabilities in any areas ', �. ' � � ' " open to pedestrian use. ( 35.137 (a) ) • 11 o Use of other power-driven mobility devices. A public • a , entity shall make reasonable modifications in its poli- cies, practices, or procedures to permit the use of other power-driven mobility devices by individuals with mobil- Wheelchair user enjoying a hiking trail wwwpatriciaebau . ity disabilities, unless the public entity can demonstrate that the class of other power-driven mobility devices cannot be operated in accordance with legitimate safety requirements that the public entity has adopted pursu- ant to § 35.130(h). ( 35.137 (b.1) ) PLAN PURPOSE The purpose of the Other-Power Driven Mobility Device Management Plan (OPDMD Management Plan) is to define policies and procedures for the use of OPDMDs on Pitkin County Open Space and Trails (OST) properties and easements, in accor- dance with the DOJ direction. Part of the Mission for OST is to acquire, preserve, maintain, and manage properties and easements for recreational and access purposes. OST takes great pride in providing excellent recreational opportunities in breathtaking settings and works to make these opportunities accessible when possible. As previously mentioned, the DOJ rule addressing OPDMD use first clarified a wheelchair versus an OPDMD and established requirements for allowed use of each device. It then defined the Assessment Factors to use when determining what mobility device should be used and where or if an area should be closed to OPD- MDs. The OPDMD Management Plan will define: the DOJ OPDMD guidance; OST's policies on OPDMD use on current OST assets and address use on future proper- ties; approved OPDMD vehicles and the locations where OPDMDs are allowed; and penalties for improper OPDMD use. OTHER POWER- DRIVEN MOBILITY DEVICE MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 1 Exhibit A DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OTHER POWER-DRIVEN MOBILITY DEVICE DEFINITIONS AND RULES The DOJ defines a wheelchair and OPDMD as the following: Wheelchair means a manually-operated or power-driven device designed primarily for use by an individual with a mobility disability for the main purpose of indoor, or of both indoor and outdoor locomotion. This definition does not apply to Federal wilderness areas; wheelchairs in such areas are defined in section 508(c)(2) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12207 (c)(2). (35.104) Other power-driven mobility device means any mobility device powered by batteries, fuel, or other engines— whether or not designed primarily for use by individuals with mobility disabilities—that is used by individuals with mobility disabilities for the purpose of locomo- tion, including golf cars, electronic personal assistance mobility devices (EPAMDs), such as the Segway® PT, or any mobility device designed to operate in areas without defined pedestrian routes, but that is not a wheelchair within the meaning of this section. This definition does not apply to Federal wilderness areas; wheelchairs in such areas are defined in section 508(c)(2) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12207(c)(2). (35.104) The main difference between the two definitions is that a wheelchair must be de- signed specifically for use by individuals with a mobility disability. OPDMDs may be used by individuals with a mobility disability, but that is not necessarily the original design intent of the device. The DOJ defines the use of a wheelchair and the use of an OPDMD as the following: Use of wheelchairs and manually-powered mobility aids. A public entity shall permit individuals with mobility disabilities to use wheelchairs and manually-powered mobility aids, such as walkers, crutches, canes, braces, or other similar devices designed for use by individuals with mobility disabilities in any areas open to pedestrian use. ( 35.137 (a) ) Use of other power-driven mobility devices. A public entity shall make reasonable modifications in its poli- cies, practices, or procedures to permit the use of other power-driven mobility devices by individuals with mobil- ity disabilities, unless the public entity can demonstrate that the class of other power-driven mobility devices cannot be operated in accordance with legitimate safety requirements that the public entity has adopted pursu- ant to § 35.130(h). ( 35.137 (b.1) ) OTHER POWER- DRIVEN MOBILITY DEVICE MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 2 Exhibit A The following Assessment Factors are then used to determine the appropriate de- vice and locations for use of the approved OPDMD device.

Inquiry about disability. A public entity shall not ask an in- dividual using a wheelchair or other power-driven mobil- ity device questions about the nature and extent of the individual's disability. ( 35.137 (c.1) ) Inquiry into use of other power-driven mobility device. A public entity may ask a person using an other power- driven mobility device to provide a credible assurance that the mobility device is required because of the per- son's disability. A public entity that permits the use of an other power-driven mobility device by an individual with a mobility disability shall accept the presentation of a valid, State-issued, disability parking placard or card, or other State-issued proof of disability as a credible as- surance that the use of the other power-driven mobility device is for the individual's mobility disability. In lieu of a valid, State-issued disability parking placard or card, or State-issued proof of disability, a public entity shall accept as a credible assurance a verbal representa- tion, not contradicted by observable fact, that the other power-driven mobility device is being used for a mobility disability. A "valid" disability placard or card is one that is presented by the individual to whom it was issued and is otherwise in compliance with the State of issuance's requirements for disability placards or cards. ( 35.137 (c.2) ) OTHER POWER- DRIVEN MOBILITY DEVICE MANAGEMENT PLAN Page 4 Exhibit A OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS POLICIES ON OTHER POWER DRIVEN MOBILITY DEVICE USE Open Space and Trails (OST) manages its assets for a variety of users to maintain diverse recreational opportunities. We strive to make the recreational experience on Open Space properties as accessible as possible. We are adapting our current policies and are redesigning our existing system to meet national access standards. We work closely with our neighboring trail managing agencies in attempt to create a seamless trail system.

A width of 32" or less allows vehicles to safely pass and turnaround without the need to leave the trail surface. OST trails strive to be designed for vehicles to travel at 20 mph. Environmental limitations often require exceptions to this design goal and users must operate in a responsible and prudent fashion, factoring in other trail user density and speeds and operated at a safe speed for conditions. Emissions produced by a gas powered vehicle would adversely affect other trail users and their experience on the trail system. Electric vehicles do not release the emissions from their energy consumption on the trail system. 60 lbs. is the high end of vehicle weight currently on OST trail system. Increasing vehicle weights above this starts to lead to a significant mass differential between the different types of vehicles on the trail system; resulting in concerning safety issues.
