COMMISSION MEMBERS PRESENT: Commissioners Leslie Lamont, Mick Ireland, Dorothea Farris and Patti Clapper COMMISSION MEMBERS ABSENT: Commissioner Shellie Roy Harper was absent due to illness. FIRST AND FINAL READING ON RESOLUTION APPROVING THE 2000 BUDGET FOR THE 1/2 CENT TRANSIT SALES AND USE TAX-MOTION TO APPROVE,AS AMENDED - Tom Oken- Administrative Services Director Mr. Oken reminded the Board that this resolution confirms the actions taken by the EOTC last week which approved the requested budget for the year 2000 for the Pitkin County one-half cent transit sales and use tax, the proposed budget for the Roaring Fork Railroad Holding Authority for the year 2000, hereinafter referred to as RFRHA, and their share of the RFRHA budget. Mr. Oken had two minor changes to the recitals of this resolution. Item number 4 shall indicate the deferral of the pre-acquisition costs for the right of ways for up to three years. And, item number 5 shall show a more explicit condition on the RFTA$400,000.00 based upon the EOTC reviewing in June, 2000,whether that whole amount is actually needed dependent on sales tax and fares and progress with the RTA. Mr. Oken does not believe that things will go favorably enough for RFTA to not need the $400,000.00, but when this was discussed back in November, 1999,those were the conditions that the EOTC put on that. The Board was acceptable to these revisions. Commissioner Clapper questioned the fact that the Board never ratified a resolution specifically addressing the deferment as Mr. Oken added to item number 4. Commissioner Clapper said the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 1 SPECIAL MEETING JANUARY 18,2000 deferment was approved at the October 14th EOTC meeting and she thinks that needs to be specifically addressed. She said it's not even mentioned. Mr. Oken said the approval of the deferral, in his mind, is really that it's not included in our EOTC budget under that RFRHA line item so the amount of our contribution into RFRHA for this year would be less if you had that repayment calculated in there. Essentially, by approving a line item that gives more to RFRHA in this year, you're approving that there's not a repayment. A discussion ensued on Commissioner Clapper's question and what it is she would like done. Acting Chairperson Lamont wanted to clarify what she believed to be Commissioner Clapper's intent. She believes that Commissioner Clapper wants more specificity and would like that specificity within a separate resolution that is laid out and documents specifically what is done with the deferral To this, Commissioner Clapper said yes. Commissioner Farris asked Commissioner Clapper if referencing the October 14th approval in line item 6 would satisfy her? Commissioner Clapper said no. She said she doesn't know how much is being deferred and how much the down valley jurisdictions individually were responsible for repayment. She disagreed with Commissioner Farris that this was presented at the meeting in October and she would like to see it in a form of a resolution approved by the three jurisdictions involved in the EOTC. After discussion, Mr. Oken said it would be easier to amend this resolution in the following manner. Item numbers 3 and 6 would reference the approval given on October 14, 1999. Also, item number 4 would show specific amounts agreed to be deferred. The Board, as a whole, agreed to these amendments. Commissioner Farris moved to approve the resolution, as amended. Commissioner Ireland seconded the motion. Motion passed three to one. Commissioners Lamont, Ireland and Farris voted aye. Commissioner Clapper voted nay. Commissioner Clapper explained that she voted nay because she maintains her position for the deferment of the down valley repayment for which she voted no. Further discussion, initialized by Acting Chairperson Lamont, ensued on various aspects of the deferral issue before the Board moved on to the next item. FIRST AND FINAL READING ON RESOLUTION DECLARING ITS INTENTION TO UTILIZE A FEDERAL CONGESTION MITIGATION AIR QUALITY GRANT TO CHIP AND SEAL LOWER OWL CREEK ROAD -MOTION TO APPROVE,AS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 2 SPECIAL MEETING JANUARY 18,2000 AMENDED - Stan Berryman- Director of Public Works; Brian Pettet - Deputy Director of Public Works Mr. Berryman proceeded with his presentation to the Board as outlined in his agenda item summary. Rhonda Bazil, attorney representing the Owl Creek Ranch Homeowner's Association, spoke on their behalf They do not want to see the road paved. They believe it takes away from the rural character and helps to increase traffic and the speed of cars on that road. She added that Owl Creek Ranch would like to see money for improvements of the road go toward Brush Creek and keep Owl Creek as a rural road. Acting Chairperson Lamont asked Ms. Bazil if she was aware that the Board received a letter from George Shiffrin, President of the Homeowner's Association, complaining about the lack of maintenance and that he wanted more money spent on that road. She said that yes she was. She believes it is a catch-22 situation. Should they look for more maintenance of a dirt road or put the money into paving it, she asked. According to her the Homeowner's Association would prefer to keep the road as a dirt road to maintain the character of that valley. Commissioner Ireland made several comments regarding, among other things, life cycle costs. He then made information available on what he learned while attending the most recent STAC meeting (Strategic Transportation Advisory Committee). He agrees with Ms. Bazil and knows that he is probably in the minority. After additional comments, Suzanne Konchan, County Manager, pointed out to the Board that without extensive further appropriations the County won't be anywhere near Lower East Owl Creek Ranch and that that kind of information will be brought back to the Board later in more detail. Commissioner Clapper asked if the Board needs to add to condition number 1 regarding improving UP TO the Lower East Owl Creek entrance? Ms. Konchan said yes, she would recommend that. Commissioner Farris asked if it should also say dependent on funding? The Board agreed that condition number 1 should add the words "not any further than the Lower East Owl Creek entrance as far as funding would provide for the road project". Commissioner Farris moved to approve this resolution, as amended. Commissioner Clapper seconded the motion. Motion passed three to one. Commissioners Lamont, Farris and Clapper voted aye. Commissioner Ireland voted nay. BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 3 SPECIAL MEETING JANUARY 18,2000 Commissioner Farris moved to go into Executive Session at 10:50 AM. Commissioner Clapper seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
