The Commissioners discussed with Mrs. Dorothy
~~~ '
~~~ Shaw and others with the Pitkin County Library Board the matter `j`"-'
~,~~ of the 1969 budget and advised that in view of fund limitations
it would be necessary to reduce by $5,000.00 the budget request.
The Commissioners discussed various matters con-
_--.:--- cerning the Pitkin County Hospital with Mr. Harvey Hartzler,
Hospital Administrator. Mr. Hartzler advised that the hospital
had had a record year as far as income was concerned and was
now prepared to refund to the County a portion of the money
heretofore advanced for operating expenses. Thereafter a check
for $8,906.00 was presented, which the Commissioners directed be
placed in the Pitkin County Hospital Warrant Retirement Fund in
the County Treasurers Office for debt retirement, which left a
balance of $50,000.00 held by the hospital administration for
operating purposes.
The Commissioners directed the County Attorney
to send notice to Esco Development Corporation concerning their
occupancy of a tract of land northerly of Aspen adjacent to the
Roaring Fork River which the County obtained by tax deed some
years ago.
Voucher and statement from Grand River Construction
for roadwork performed on the Fryingpan Road in Pitkin County was
received and billing was directed to the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation
for $56,903.80 to cover the same under contract with the Bureau
for reimbursement to the County when such work is completed.
A group of residents from the Crystal River Valley
in Pitkin County appeared before the Commissioners, including Mr.
Earl Addie, Mr. Charles Thomas, Mr. TonyAntonides, in favor of
planning and probable zoning in that area, and opposed by Mrs. Nell
White who also appeared before the Commissioners. A petition
favoring zoning was presented and Mr. Addie advised that of the
434 residents within Precinct 8, 185 had responded to questionnaire,
and the ratio in favor of planning and probably zoning was about
8 to 1. However, the group requested that the County consider
creating a zoning district in that portion of the Crystal River
Valley within Pitkin County, appointing a planning commission from
that group and not from the Aspen area.
Mrs. Nell White filed petition in opposition to
proceeding with zoning now, and stated the primary objection was
to the procedure that had been followed, and that extensive hear-
ings and studies should be made before zoning was considered.
The Commissioners agreed to contact professional planners with
a view to obtaining advice and consultation about zoning in the
Redstone area, and stated that they would first contact the State
Planning ®ommission.
The Commissioners approved purchase of a used cater-
pillar motor grader, Model 12 E, with 12 foot snow wing for $1,590.00.
The Commisioners were advised by Resolution that
the Aspen Metropolitan Sanitation District mill levy was 4.64 mills ,~-
instead of 5 mills as previously indicated. ~'
The Commissioners were advised that the Pitkin County
Airport Authority had organized and was proceeding with extensive
plans concerning the management, operation and improvement of the
Pitkin County Airport, and thereupon on motion duly made and
seconded the following Resolution was adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED That the Pitkin County Airport
Authority is hereby authorized and directed to
establish and impose reasonable fees and rates
and enforce collection thereof for all services,
leasehold interests and uses permitted or allowed
on the Pitkin County Airport.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED That the Pitkin County
Airport Authority shall be, and is, authorized
and empowered to enforce collection for amounts
heretofore incurred for landing fees, tie-down
charges, rentals or leasehold payments, and
service charges owed and for that purpose the
County Commissioners do hereby set over, transfer
and assign all of such amounts to the Pitkin
County Airport Authority.
Following discussion with Mr. Leon Wurl, City
Administrator, the County approved a Dump-Maintenance proposal
on a month-to-month basis from David Frank Bishop of Basalt,
Colorado, for $1,500.00 per month, with the use of a D-8 Caterpillar
Tractor to be included.
Following further conference with Mr. Leon Wurl,
the Commissioners approved agreement with the City of Aspen where-
by the County of Pitkin would not grant permits for excavations
in roads involving water lines connected with the city water
system unless connection permit was obtained from the city, and
~~~
,: ~
the city would not issue connection permit
arranged with the County for any excavation
rights-of-way that might be required.

The Commissioners were advised that the City of
Aspen mill levy to be certified would be 10 mills for bond and
interest and 6 mills for general fund for city purposes.
The Commissioners discussed road matters with
Mr. Charles Vidal of Snowmass-at Aspen. Mr. Vidal requested
that the County purchase two radios for Sheriff's cars that
would be used in patrolling the Snowmass area, and the Commissioners
tabled the request pending investigation about vehicles for these
officers.
The following liquor license renewals were unani-
mously approved:
JBM Company, Inc., Village Delicatessen, Snowmass,
3.2 beer license.
Aspen Highlands Skiing Corporation, Restaurant
License, Aspen Highlands.
Harry H, and Florence M. Williams, Harry's
Package Store, Thomasville.
Buttermilk Skiing Corporation, Restaurant License,
Buttermilk Mountain
At the request of the Sheriff, the Commissioners
approved a raise from $335.00 per month to $350.00 per month for
Billy Zelnick, an employee in the Sheriff's Office.
The Commissioners considered Petition for tax
abatement of Aspen Grove Laundromat requesting abatement of
11 month's taxes for 1967 on the laudromat equipment because
of foreclosure by the Small Business Administration and
removal from the County after one month's use, and on recommenda-
tion of the Assessor, the Commissioners unanimously adopted the
following Resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED That taxes assessed against Aspen
Grove Laudromat for 1967 with assessed value of
$5,470.00 and tax of $426.00 shall be abated in
the sum of $386.36, provided the balance of $42.00
is paid.
The Commissioners upon motion duly made and seconded
unanimously adopted the following Resolution:
WHEREAS, rapidly increasing use of the Pitkin
County Airport requires purchase of additional
land, and downpayment on such purchase is
urgently rewired,
WHEREAS, increased road mileage requires
purchase of additional equipment for snow
removal, conditions that could not reasonably
have been foreseen when the last budget was
adopted,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT an emergency
exists, and that there shall be and there is
hereby appropriated from the Contingent Fund
the sum of $10,000.00 to the General Fund,
AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT FUND, and the sum of $22,000.00
to the ROAD AND BRIDGE CAPITAL OUTLAY FUND.
County Welfare Director, Lloyd Speckman, reported
that general assistance advancements in the sum of $5,000.00 had
been collected from the estates of beneficiaries, which amount
could properly be transferred to the County's General Fund, and
on motion duly made and seconded, the following Resolution was
unanimously adopted:
BE IT RESOLVED That the sum of $5,000.00 is hereby
transferred from the Pitkin County Welfare Fund to the PITKIN
COUNTY GENERAL FUND, and shall be budgeted as a part of the
Sheriff's Budget for the year 1968.
