Summary of Management Action Items—Section 4:
4.1 Property Ownership Management Actions—The Public views the Gorge area as a continuous property
and uses the area that way regardless of ownership. This is an ongoing OST process to work toward
allowable public access solutions with area property owners.
4.2 Natural Resource Management Actions
4.2.1 In 2014 Expand vegetation and wildlife inventory.
4.2.2 and 4.2.3 Work toward a Roaring Fork River Conservation Plan with Healthy Rivers and
Streams Board and the Roaring Fork Conservancy by examining water quality and quantity.
4.3 Recreational Use,Parking and Amenities Management Actions
4.3.1.1 Rio Grande Trail Improvements—Phase I: Trail design incorporating separated hard and
soft surface trails from Jaffe Park area to shale bluff area with optional single track. Design will
investigate possibility for Nordic groomer to follow soft surface trail. Recreational amenities will
be placed after 2014 Rio Grande Trail Management Plan is completed.
4.3.1.2 RGT Phase II options: The option decisions for Phase II will be made after Phase I is
completed. It will give staff time to see how users respond to Phase I improvements and
determine which option works best for the upper two miles of the Gorge.
4.3.2 and 4.3.3 Stein Park and Jaffee Park Improvements: Essentially both parks are trailheads
for the Gorge area. Both are heavily used. Both areas will under-go redesign to accommodate
better parking, sustainable river access and ADA compliant parking,fishing access and accessible
restrooms. Jaffee Park will be examined for potential designated trailer parking and better
trail connectivity between Aspen-Mass(4.3.4.5)and Jaffee Park Connector to Rio Grande Trail
(4.3.4.4)with a dual surface and potential singletrack.
4.3.4 Near-Term Regional Trail Connections: What can be done now to improve the regional trail
connectivity.
4.3.4.1 Stein Trail Improvements: Working with Public Works staff is looking at alternative trail
re-design providing a lower trail grade from AABC to the river bottom.
4.3.4.2 Burlingame Connection Study: Includes Stein Trail area,AABC to Burlingame and
Burlingame to the City of Aspen the study will look at how to attain a sustainable trail from
Burlingame to the Rio Grande Trail. The study is a high priority for the City of Aspen and they
will lead the study.
4.3.4.3 Stein Bridge and Trail Repairs: Bridge abutments are long past due for repair. The trail
connection portion from the bridge to the Rio Grande Trail will be part of the improvements.
4.3.5 Long-Term Potential Regional Trail Connections: After completion of RGT Phase I(4.3.1.2)re-
examine previous trail feasibility studies and their purposed options.
4.3.6 Climbing or Ice Climbing Opportunities: Guidance will be governed by the Gold Butte
Management Plan.
4.3.7 Update and implementation of OST Sign Standards, including the development of Trailhead sign
guidelines: Prompted from public signage comments that OST signage is either lacking or inconsistent.
The work will especially address Trailhead signage. Updating signage standards is also an action item
from the 2012 Recreation Inventory and Analysis work. Future interpretive signage will be added to the
area after initial signage project is complete(4.3.8).

Page 2 of 5
4.4 Commercial Use and Special Use Management Actions: (4.4.1)Develop a commercial fly-fishing
guide permit system which then can be expanded to all OST fishing assets. (4.4.2)Developing an OST
special event policy is an ongoing collaboration with Community Development reviewing the permit
process and special event impacts on OST assets.
4.5 Commemorative Opportunities: The plan does not currently identify commemorative/memorial
opportunities.
Discussion/Board Comments
Board Trustees complimented staff on their thoroughness and thoughtful Plan construction. Board
appreciated the historical content of the Plan(1.2)and accompanying historical photo comparisons to the
present conditions.
Introduction: Add reference to the population number within the Plan's area i.e. Burlingame and AABC
areas.
4.3.1.2 Rio Grande Phase II: Add information that selected trail surface would need to have the ability to
retain snow and width to accommodate nordic groomer.
4.3.1.1 Rio Grande Phase I: The purposed 2014 trail work will be accomplished within existing open
space property. Board questioned the long established `bandit' trails in the area and how they will be
managed. OST staff plan to work with landowner's to create solutions for public access.
Board questioned the value of the improved soft surface on the upper RGT segment as described in RGT
Phase II(4.3.1.2 -i) and the reasoning not to include soft surface improvements with RGT Phase I
construction improvements. Soft surface trail work was completed in 2013on the upper RGT segment and
at that time OST addressed some of the trail segment's drainage issues. Hard surface trail paving cannot
be constructed on top of a soft surface base and would be a wasted investment if paved trail surface
option was chosen in the future.At this time, staff wants to wait until Phase I is complete and see how
well the soft surface improvements will serve the public. In the meantime until Phase II is determined,
OST will continue to maintain the improved soft surface. For paving construction efficiency it is best to
bundle Jaffe Trail Connector paving to RGT Phase I paving work.Another construction consideration is
if all the trail work occurs at once(Phase I and Phase II 4.3.1.2—i)then the RGT would experience
significant construction impacts requiring closures. The Board recommended the content for(4.3.1.2 -i)
be more explicit about what the improved soft surface extra work characteristics would be such as
retaining wall areas. Gary concurred that additional cost clarification between improvements and
maintenance would be added to the Plan.
4.3.4.1 and 4.3.4.3 Stein Trail and Bridge: Board suggested placing both action items under Rio Grande
Trail Improvements Phase I. Gary Tennenbaum explained the bridge repairs and trail segment from the
bridge to the RGT have already been budgeted for 2014 and does not require the Plan's approval. The
projects covered in(4.3.1.1)RGT Phase I and the Jaffee Connector Trail will require a budget
supplemental in 2014 if the Plan is approved. Upon Plan approval staff will begin a RFP process to
determine project costs.
4.4.2 Develop an Open Space and Trails Special Event Policy: Board suggested make the Plan's
language more specific to reflect special event policy for all Open Space assets in Pitkin County.
Appendix B -Public Comment: The Board questioned why the Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Associations
(RFMBA) comment(Section 4.3.5.3)about their suggested single track alignment from the Intercept Lot
11/21/2013 OSTB Regular Session Minutes
Page 3 of 5
to the AABC was not in the body of the Plan?The RF Gorge Management Plan's objective is toward
creating real hard and soft surface regional trail connections not creating new single track trail
connections. RFMBA's proposed single track alignment crosses over identified sensitive Gorge riparian
areas which will be undergoing further baseline inventory study before any trail considerations could
occur. Future River Conservation and Upper Roaring Fork Valley Trail Plans work will identify these
types of connections. In addition, Staff does not believe RFMBA's cost estimate is realistic. Staff agreed
to add emphasis that all public comments were heard and are included in the Plan.
Aspen Mass Trail soft surface trail addition: Source Gas has an easement through the property and is
working with the City of Aspen OS to possibly modify their easement with the City. Gary Tennenbaum
clarified Source Gas had ended their gas line at Aspen Valley Ranch in Woody Creek and they are now
proposing a continuation of their line all the way up to their Brush Creek station at the Intercept Lot.
OST has been working with Source Gas on possible routes and one route is to go up the existing Aspen
Mass paved trail alignment, Source Gas would replace the paved trail, and the quite claim their easement
back to the City of Aspen which in turn will give the City more options for a soft surface trail alignment.
For the December 3rd BOCC joint meeting,the Board advised staff to compose the RFGMP memo with
content indicating unbudgeted 2014 RFGMP project costs will come through to the BOCC as a 2014
Budget Supplemental after a Request for Proposal(RFP)process is completed. One RFP will be issued to
cover Phase I RGT dual surface trail construction,Jaffee Park Connector Trail construction, Stein Bridge
repairs and repairs to the Stein Trail connection between the bridge and RGT.
Tom Oken entered regular session at approximately 10:00 a.m.
Wildlife and Trail Camera Policy
The following submitted material is made part of this record as 'Exhibit B': Wildlife and Trail Camera
Policy Memo, 11/18/2013.
Additional background information and clarifications were added since first introduced to the OSTB
11/7/13. Staff surveyed other open space entities and found few had an official policy. Majority of
agencies use cameras for wildlife, enforcement, and recreational counts.
Discussion
Board commented the presented policy is missing public notification. Include in trailhead signage
indicating trail cameras are in use and convey either the policy, link to policy, or short explanation. There
is an international camera icon. See Board Action below.
OSTB BYLAWS:Attendance Requirements
County Manager has asked OSTB to clarify Board Member attendance requirements. During the OSTB
organizational work it was decided not to decrease the number of Board Meetings.
Discussion
Several Board members felt a provision for attending public meeting via electronic conferencing was
needed,but the current requirement not to miss six regularly scheduled meetings was working. The
Board questioned whether electronic attendance for executive session meeting could occur. The Board
members were sensitive to their responsibilities as Trustees representing their districts and governing the
Open Space Fund. Dale Will would confer with John Ely whether Board members can vote when
attending electronically.
The Board drafted a policy to be finalized by Dale Will and returned to the OSTB for approval. Once
approved by the OSTB the bylaws will proceed to the BOCC for approval pursuant to an ordinance.

The Chair may with concurrence of other OSTB members request the
Commissioners to remove a Trustee who is absent from more than six regularly
scheduled meetings within a calendar year. Electronic attendance shall be
permitted. (In the case of extenuating circumstances,the Open Space and Trails
Board may choose to make an exception to this rule.)
Suzanne Wolff entered regular session at approximately 10:40 a.m.
OST Summary of Outstanding Debt
The following submitted material is made part of this record as 'Exhibit C': OST Debt Sum mtary.
Tom Oken utilized the OST Debt Summary spreadsheet in his discussion with the OSTB. November 20't'
the BOCC approved the re-financing of some of OST's outstanding debt at a lower rate. The bonds in
question were issued in 1994 and refinanced in 2003. Tom is in the process of refinancing at a lower
interest rate from 4.9% to possibly 2.25% resulting in a$250,000 savings of interest and present value of
those savings around$230,000. Paying off the 2003 debt would still occur in 2024.The 2003 bond issue
is callable in 2013. Next opportunity to do the same will be in 2015 for bonds issued in 2001. Strategies
for bonds callable in 2015 and 2016 and expiring in 2021and after would depend on fund reauthorization
strategies.Basically bonds are callable on or after December 1S1 of each year.
Dale commented that OST's acquisition docket for 2014 might be a large year and could Tom comment
whether in the current economic climate if it is still desirable to consider bonding as a funding resource.
Tom advised only if an acquisition could not be cash financed. Bonding rates are likely to be rising next
year and as per usual rates are also determined by the bond's term.
BOARD COMMENTS
Howie Mallory reminded the Board to remember the Smuggler Mine is for sale.The property is currently
listed at$9.5 million.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: PITKIN COUNTY OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS BOARD
FROM: STAFF
SUBJECT: ROARING FORK GORGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
DATE: NOVEMBER 21,2013
BACKGROUND: The Roaring Fork Gorge Management Plan encompasses the detailed
inventory, analysis and planning for six different properties: Red Butte Ranch Open Space,
Airport Ranch, the Denver/Rio Grande Railroad corridor, Mills, Stein Park and Stein
Riverside Park. Gold Butte and Wilton Jaffee Sr. Park are both located in the planning area
and each have their own management plans with which we have coordinated.
Pitkin County's ownership of lands in the Roaring Fork Gorge planning area began when rail
service into Aspen ended. In 1968 the Rio Grande right of way above Woody Creek was
cleared of track and donated to the County. Decades before "rails to trails"was formalized
into federal law, this section of the old grade became our first significant County trail asset.
In 1993 this acquisition was complemented by our purchase of the Peapcke Ranch, which
provided both additional runway space as well as County ownership of the lower river gorge.
Several years later, CDOT conveyed the "Mills"property jointly to the County and City in
compensation for its roundabout takings of Marolt and Moore Open Spaces. And finally,
pieces of the Stein Ranch comprising the upper gorge were conveyed to the County as part of
three consecutive land use approvals culminating this year with the Gold Butte climbing area.
As seen in our maps, the Open Spaces program now administers nearly all of the scenic 4-
mile canyon between Stein and Jaffee Parks.
Last year, we sought to obtain approval for a paved connection into Aspen. There was
tension between our 2012 approach and our general maxim that we should complete
management plans prior to planning capital improvements. We have decided to take a
comprehensive planning approach with the Rio Grande Gorge first, and then revisit the
question of how to surface and route the Rio Grande Trail into Aspen.
Staff began the process conducting a thorough inventory of the properties, mapping all the
existing conditions. Eight different open houses were held during the month of June with all
the different user groups and communities that currently utilize the properties in the Gorge:
Boating, Angling, Road biking, Mountain biking, Equestrians,
Hiking/Running/Walking/Nordic, Commuters, and adjacent residents. The goal of these
meetings was to learn and map how these groups currently use the Gorge area and to
understand any requests they have for the future planning and management of this area. On
July 4th, OST staff also had a booth in the project area to solicit public feedback. A project
website was updated with the Open House comment maps, and site visitors were encouraged
to provide feedback through an online survey or through commenting on the Open House
blog. Ads ran in the local newspapers and on local radio stations promoting the project, the
Open Houses, the website and the request for the public to participate in the planning
process.
The information gathered during the inventory phase, along with the previous studies of the
Rio Grande Trail, were analyzed and Action Items for management and planning of the
Roaring Fork Gorge were developed. All the inventory information and Action Items were
synthesized into a draft report. The draft plan had a 2-month comment period with three
Open Houses and one public site tour. We kicked the comment period off with a large
newspaper wrap promoting the project. The public had the ability to comment at the
meetings or on the project website. Ads for the open houses and Draft plan comment period
were run in both papers and on the radio. We received formal comment letters from: The
Roaring Fork Conservancy, The Aspen Snowmass Nordic Council, The Roaring Fork
Mountain Bike Association and the City of Aspen Open Space and Trails Board. All of the
feedback was gathered and the draft plan was revised accordingly.
The Roaring Fork Conservancy's letter supported our Natural Resource Action Items and
identified ways we can continue to work together in the future, especially when it comes time
for the River Conservation Plan Action Item. The Nordic Council strongly believes that a
hard surface will compromise the ability to retain snow on the trail. They encouraged the
phased approach for the Rio and felt that the money used for paving on Phase II could be
used for more maintenance and testing of different hardening agents in the soft surface
material. The Roaring Fork Mountain Bike Association strongly supported most of the
Action Items in the plan. They had two additional comments about additional trail
connections not covered in this plan. (The additional connections will be covered as part of
the Upper Roaring Fork Trails Plan). The City of Aspen's Open Space and Trails Board
supports the exploration of a sustainable trail connection between Burlingame and the Stein
Bridge area, as recommended in the Burlingame Connection Study Action Item.
Changes in the final plan(from the last joint meeting):
• Added the action item"Work to Increase Water Quality and Water Quantity"
• Added"McLain Flats Climbing Lanes" as an option for long-term regional trail
connections
• Added"Action Item Decision Chart"
• Moved start date for Stein Park Improvements to 2015 and added"requires Aspen
City Council to make funding appropriations.
• Updated the"Introduction" and"Process and Public Involvement"
• Added additional public comment and letters
• Grammatical edits
Staff would like feedback from the Pitkin County Open Space and Trails Board in order to
have time for revisions before the Joint Meeting presentation.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Provide feedback on the proposed Roaring Fork Gorge
Management Plan.

Memo
To: Open Space and Trails Board
From: Gary Tennenbaum, Assistant Director
Date: 2/10/2014
Re: Wildlife and Trail Camera Policy
Background: Pitkin County Open Space and Trails (OST) utilizes wildlife
cameras on trails and properties to monitor wildlife use, type of users, and
violations. Cameras capture information that is impossible to obtain with just staff
and provides significant data to assist with the management of OST assets. OST
respects the privacy of individuals and the following policy details what cameras
are used for.
Wildlife use on properties is critical to monitor and OST uses cameras to see
when and where animals are using properties and trails, types of animals using an
area, and to see over time any changes in use. This is critical for OST to
determine effects of management and/or trails to adapt future management.
Cameras used on trails monitor the types of users to see the ratios of different
users and when those types of users are on the trails. This info is used to see if
there are potential conflicts between users and for managers to know what types
of use are actually occurring. Pictures obtained are deleted within 15 days of
initial view.
Cameras also capture violations on trails and properties and are used by
enforcement personnel to educate and/or cite known offenders. These violation
photos direct where enforcement personnel are needed. If no violations are being
recorded then they can direct their patrols to other areas thus creating efficiencies
with the department.
Other Government Agency Camera Use:
• Page 1
Exhibit B: 11/21/2013 OSTB Regular Session Minutes
Aspen Parks: The department has several wildlife cameras that they use primarily
to collect images of wildlife on open space parcels. Other uses have included user
counts, observation of parking patterns and enforcement.
Cameras were used once in an attempt to identify a culprit/prevent illegal dumping
of yard clippings on the Midland trail. The camera was vandalized and the memory
card taken, so, no images were captured. Had images been recorded, they would
have been filed and maintained. Cameras have not been used to gather data on
compliance at trail locations.
Photos gathered for non-enforcement purposes are only stored if they are useful,
a great wildlife shot would be kept but most are deleted. Parks has no protocol for
holding onto images or use of images of people. They're interested in what we
come up with.
Boulder County Parks and Open Space: Wildlife staff places cameras to
photograph wildlife, while rangers post cameras specifically for enforcement
purposes. Wildlife cameras are off-trail, but occasionally catch human activity.
When wildlife cameras catch a violation, the photos are turned over to the ranger
staff. Violations caught on camera (wildlife and trail cameras) are pursued when
the violator is recognizable. In some cases, activity caught on camera has spurred
stakeouts; in at least one case, a violator was caught that way. If wildlife cameras
catch people in closed areas or other violations, increased patrols are sometimes
requested. There is no written policy regarding use of the photos from the wildlife
cameras. Trails where cameras are installed are not posted to warn users that
cameras are in place.
Denver Parks and Recreation: Eight wildlife cameras are installed in various
settings in "natural area" properties as well as Denver Mountain Park properties.
The goal is capturing wildlife photos to help understand what species are using
the areas as habitat in order to determine what types of
management/conservation methods or other protections should be employed, as
well as for educational purposes. The staff also intends to put photos on the
Denver Parks website. A camera was used once by Denver Parks in an
enforcement action — they were attempting to find out who was illegally dumping
meat along Cherry Creek, which attracted numerous coyotes to the area.
Denver Parks has no formal policy for camera use, but our inquiry is spurring them
to draft some guidelines.

Exhibit B: 11/21/2013 OSTB Regular Session Minutes
Pitkin County Elections: The Pitkin County Clerk and Recorder's Elections
Department is required by the state to maintain video surveillance of the room
where ballots are processed for 60 days before an election and 30 days afterward.
The footage is not typically viewed, but it must be retained for 25 months and it is
subject to CORA (Colorado Open Records Act) requests. If we maintain images of
violations, or anything else, they're probably subject to CORA.
Aspen Environmental Health: Video cameras are used to monitor the Aspen
recycling drop-off center. In the event of illegal dumping of material, staffers can
call up archived video on a computer and figure out when the material appeared. If
they are able to get a vehicle license plate number, the info is given to police.
Violators have been cited, or gotten off with a warning and a directive to come
collect their garbage. Video data is retained in the event of a violation until the
case is resolved. In general, it is not kept. The system records over old data in a
continuous loop.
Aspen-Pitkin County Airport: "Intelligent video" on the airside of the airport takes
both thermal images that can distinguish between dogs, people, vehicles, planes,
etc., and actual images. The system can also assess the trajectories of moving
objects. It's used to monitor movements in controlled areas (keep people off
runway, etc.) Has alerting capabilities to make airport personnel aware of problem.
It records on a loop; footage recorded over in about 12 days. In the terminal,
cameras are used for security, mainly in baggage area and at entry to terminal
from tarmac. Images can be used for enforcement — more likely by TSA than local
authorities.
County landfill: The landfill operates one motion-activated video camera at its
gate. It's basically used to monitor entry and exit from the site during closed hours,
but only looked at when they see signs of after-hours entry. Violations are
reported to police. Cops have separate camera monitoring their shooting range.
Landfill spokesperson was unsure how far back landfill footage is searchable.
County library: No cameras in facility. Request to place camera on rooftop to
document construction at nearby commercial building was denied. One Library
Board member was reportedly adamant that such a use would constitute an
invasion of privacy.

Potential Policy:
Pitkin County Open Space and Trails will use wildlife cameras on properties and
trails to monitor wildlife, trail use, and for enforcement of County code.
Photographs of people will be deleted after 15 days from download unless a
violation is recorded. Photographs of violations will be kept till the violation is
addressed.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt a formal policy for wildlife and trail camera use.
