Since she assumed her role as the Executive Director with GFPC she has been committed to going above and beyond in her role and duties with GFPC, the Steamboat Springs Teen Council (SSTC) and the many programs she is involved. We would like to take this time to thank her for her steadfast commitment to the health and wellbeing of the youth and teens in our community in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Kate Elkins is described by SSTC members as someone who genuinely cares about the

1.1

future of the youth and teens in our community. Kate is an outstanding professional, an amazing mentor and a role model to many youth and teens in Routt County. We are all better people because of knowing her and she inspires you to strive and seek for excellence, education and knowledge.” About Grand Futures Prevention Coalition Grand Futures Prevention Coalition (GFPC) mission is to create and support healthy, positive lifestyle choices as alternatives to substance abuse for our youth and in our community. Their vision is Healthy communities where positive lifestyle choices are the norm. Grand Futures builds awareness and educates the community about Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) issues. They promote, support and educate about ATOD policies, empower youth to make positive choices related to ATOD use, and build organizational capacity. Programs offered by GFPC are designed to enhance protective factors and reverse risk factors associated with ATOD use. They rely on current research showing that effective prevention efforts must utilize multiple strategies, be long-term, and target diverse segments of the population. History of Grand Futures Prevention Coalition The Grand Futures Community Partnership was founded in 1990 in Grand County, Colorado as a division of the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office. The agency's primary focus was to provide substance abuse prevention activities, education, and training to youth and adults in Grand County. In 1995, Grand Futures expanded in to Moffat and Routt Counties to become Grand Futures Prevention Coalition (GFPC). Since that time, GFPC has demonstrated an impressive ability to build community collaboration and implement effective substance abuse prevention programs, thus distinguishing itself as a provider of high-quality services throughout northwestern Colorado. In 1997, GFPC obtained its 501(c)(3) status and separated from the District Attorney's office. Throughout the past years, Grand Futures has remained true to its mission and goals and has diversified its funding, currently receiving financial support from a variety of state and federal grants as well as from local donations and grant making foundations. About Steamboat Springs Teen Council The Steamboat Springs Teen Council (SSTC) is in their 8th consecutive year; SSTC is currently comprised of 21 high school students from the Steamboat Springs High School, Heritage Christian School and Steamboat Mountain School with two adult coordinators, Kate Warnke, City of Steamboat Springs Teen Programs and Kate Elkins, Grand Futures Prevention Coalition. SSTC meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month (September – May) at a Centennial Hall. Meetings are open to the public and many outside organizations attend and seek feedback, advice, support and service from the council. SSTC has grown and accomplished amazing things in the community over the past eight years.

1.2

SSTC’s vision is a community where teens have a voice. Their mission is to demonstrate that teens are valuable assets and are caring members of the community who are committed to education, health/wellness, the environment and service. As a channel and resource for all teens, we strive to open lines of communication and provide common ground for teens and adults. SSTC serves to: • Identify the unmet needs of youth in the City of Steamboat Springs • Advocate for youth policies by making recommendations to City Council • Comment and make recommendations to City Council or any other decision making group on any and all youth related matters • Provide an avenue of expression and comment for teens History of Steamboat Springs Teen Council The City of Steamboat Springs Teen Programs strives to provide safe, substance-free, and affordable recreation alternatives for teens in our community. Teen Programs provides recreation programming for 6th – 12th graders and sponsors a variety of different activities for teens in the community, such as after school programs, evening events, out of town trips and outdoor adventures. Additionally, Teen Programs provides employment opportunities for 14 to 16 year olds with the Community Youth Corps. The objectives of our programs are to create a variety of recreation alternatives to meet the diverse needs of teens in our community. We strive to offer programs that contribute to the physical, mental, and social development of teens in our community. Over the years the city staff consistently heard from teens in our programs that they were not valued, respected or had a voice in our community. The city staff knew that it was their responsibility to listen and respond to this unmet need. In the fall of 2007 Brooke Lightner, City of Steamboat Springs Teen Programs and Colleen Lyon, Grand Futures Prevention Coalition, established regular meetings with teens during the Steamboat Springs High School’s lunch hour. In March of 2008 the meetings moved outside of the Steamboat Springs High School, to include students from Lowell Whiteman School, Christian Heritage, and the Yampa Valley High School in an effort to create a council reflective of the larger teen community. In the fall of 2008 the Steamboat Springs Teen Council (SSTC) was established and officers were elected for the 2008-2009 term. SSTC designed a logo, developed a mission and vision statement, established goals and prepared for presentations to the community. III. SUMMARY AND ALTERNATIVES: Staff recommends City Council support the above noted proclamation.

2.6

3

As a member of URAAC (Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory Committee)

was a strong advocate of a snowmelt system for the promenade that was

opposed by some as too expensive to construct and/or operate.

As a member of URAAC (Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory Committee)

was concerned with the ever increasing costs associated with trying to

find an energy source (other than natural gas) to provide the energy to

operate a promenade snowmelt system.

As a former member of URAAC (Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory

Committee) continued to be a strong advocate of a snowmelt system for

the promenade and supported, at least installing the piping/plumbing for a

snowmelt system, when some (in 2009) wanted to reconsider a limited

snowmelt system in only potential problem areas such as stairways and

ramps.

OUTCOME: The Urban Renewal Authority approved a promenade with a

snowmelt system rather than a promenade without a snowmelt system (or

only a limited snowmelt system).

As a member of URAAC (Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory Committee)

stakeholders before construction was undertaken.

OUTCOME: The Urban Renewal Authority did not require a maintenance

agreement before construction of URA improvements began. Lesson

Snowmelt a hot topic The city will likely abandon a plan to install a direct geothermal snowmelt system at the base area. The system would primarily have been used to melt snow on a promenade designed to span the bottom of the ski slope, roughly from One Steamboat Place to Slopeside Grill. Construction of the promenade is scheduled to begin in 2009. Kracum said three 500-foot holes were drilled in locations around the base area in search of possible geothermal activity, such as hot water, that could have been used to melt snow. Kracum said only one of those holes showed any promise, with temperatures increasing more than usual at a depth of about 450 feet. "If we wanted to keep investigating, we'd have to go down 3,000 feet," Kracum said. "I don't suspect we're going to be recommending that direction." At $100 a foot, that project would cost the base area's urban renewal authority $300,000, with no guarantee of success. The first three holes cost $110,000.

At a meeting of the authority's advisory committee Friday, the committee voted unanimously to recommend to the Steamboat Springs City Council - which acts as the city's redevelopment authority - that it abandon the search for a direct geothermal source of heating for a snowmelt system. "We've chased this long enough," committee member Bill Jameson said. Kracum said another possibility would be to use ground-source heat pumps, which pump water through holes in the ground and absorb natural heat. But that prospect also has problems. Kracum said ground-source heat pumps would likely require about 1,000 holes at the base area, each 200-feet deep, again with no guarantee of success. "The thing is you don't get enough heat to melt snow," Kracum said of ground-source methods. As such, the system will likely have to be supplemented with a gas-fired boiler. Other options include a system totally powered by a gas boiler or abandoning the snowmelt system altogether in favor of traditional snow removal methods. "It would tickle me not to see snowmelt here," Dan Koelliker, a mechanical engineering consultant, told URAAC. "The carbon footprint is tremendous."

Snowmelt system tough to let go

The Urban Redevelopment Area Advisory Committee revived the

possibility Feb. 27 of a limited snowmelt system for the new promenade

at the base of the ski area.

The committee voted to ask Redevelopment Coordinator Joe Kracum to

include cost estimates for installing a snowmelt system in potential

problem areas such as stairways and ramps.

And the committee went one step further, agreeing to look into the

possibility of installing piping only for a future snowmelt system.

Pointing out that stretches of the promenade in front of new luxury

condo projects are almost certain to have developers provide snowmelt

systems, committee member Peter Patten urged the committee to

consider generating cost estimates for the piping.

Former committee member Bill Jameson backed him up.

"To not provide the plumbing would be rather short-sighted," he said.

“…try to imagine the public improvements at Steamboat’s ski base area, funded by a URA, without Burgess Creek splashing over small waterfalls in summer. Picture the promenade in winter without gas-fired fire pits and snow-melted pavers. There was a time, in 2007, when the Urban Renewal Authority Advisory Committee at the mountain realized it would not be able to heat the promenade with a geothermal exchange system and almost gave in to the possibility of removing snow and ice the old-fashioned way. Now that we have firsthand evidence of how transformative a heated promenade in Gondola Square has been, we would never think of giving up on that project.”

Began as an entry level engineer, progressed through the ranks to end as a functional vice president responsible for activities covering a broad geographic range and more than 1,000 direct and indirect employees. If you need more information, after reading the entire application, please contact me. APPLICABLE COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES/VOLUNTEER WORK: Vision 2030 Committee Chairman; Steamboat Springs Water W\Commission; Recreational Needs Exploratory Committee; Editorial Board Steamboat Pilot and Today SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE POLCE STATION COMMITTEE:

1. Leadership of small teams. I have had multiple, successful opportunities to lead multi-disciplinary, multi=cultural teams, consisting of four to a dozen or more members. These teams analyzed business environments and competitive positions and made investment and divestment recommendations. Another team worked to rationalize operational methods and processes across

2.38

many different countries, allowing improved efficiencies, better customer support and improved safety performance.

2. Knowledge and ability to prioritize order of decision-making. What comes first, what next, what last? Ability to tease out what must come first and what must wait in police station decision making.

3. Understanding capital spending programs and estimates. With backgrounds in engineering, finance and construction, I was able to assist in improving the quality of capital investments—both the definitions of the projects as well as the cost estimates for them. In that case, I subsequently managed $150 million in investments successfully.

4. In addition to the corporate work, my wife and I have built several homes and made significant modifications to others. I am very comfortable working at a smaller scale than the corporate one.

DESCRIBE YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR A TEAM MEMBER AND WHAT YOU FELT WAS YOUR STRONGEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM. WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES OF YOUR PERSONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THOSE EFFORTS? Vision 2030 for example, guided structure for overall process; helped develop surveys, gather and analyze results; as Committee Chairman, guided the public outreach efforts. At RNEC worked to assure that the citizen survey was specifically targeted to likely voters, so that the results would provide City Council with valid, actionable information. In corporate life, guiding a global function through a triple merger, rationalizing people, investments and processes. Currently working with an educational fund raising arm of a European University, assisting Donor Representatives in meeting their financial goals. WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE POLICE STATION COMMITTEE? The proposed new police station has been the focus of too much controversy from the outset, and so, voters, residents of Steamboat Springs are likely predisposed against it. So, any plan may well not get a fair hearing unless it is clearly demonstrated through the committee and its methods and processes that it did a thorough job in coming to its conclusions. My background in leading cross-functional and cross-cultural teams (both permanent and ad hoc) making very difficult investment and divestment decisions, I know, will go a long way in helping ‘sell’ the conclusions.

2.39

And, as a taxpaying resident, I am very interested that my tax dollars are most effectively and most efficiently well-spent. I chose to move here, I choose to live here, I like the town and its residents and want very much to see it thrive. WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, ARE THE THREE MOST PRESSING ISSUES FACING THE CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS RELATIVE TO THE POLICE STATION? Not in a prioritized order:

1. It isn’t clear to the average voter—who is paying attention to this issue—that we need a new police station, that the new police station needs to be sited east / south of town, that the new police station, if needed cannot be economically and functionally combined with the existing county building(s) on the west / north side of town. Any solution must address these issues for the potential voter.

2. That the new police station can be economically built without sacrifice to other equally urgent, equally important investment decisions facing the city.

3. That the new police station satisfies the city’s needs adequately for a reasonable period of time. That is, the city will not have to readdress the decision in less than say 10 years at least.

OTHER COMMENTS: A small suggestion only: City Council should think that the way this decision is handled going forward helps demonstrate to the voters that City Council / City Administration is capable of making significant, sound, well-thought-out, well-structured long-term investment / divestment decisions. IOW showing what decisions need to be made first, then next, etc. Please attach any documentation that would enhance your application. No attachments here.

SENATOR JACK TAYLOR, short form bio

Senator Jack Taylor was raised on a farm in Iowa and graduated from Iowa State

University. He and his brother still own and manage the operation of their family farmwhich has been in the family for over 100 years. He was in the Navy R.OTC program incollege and is a Navy Veteran.

His large corporation experience includes working on the Apollo Moon Landing Projectwith Boeing Aerospace in New Orleans, and workmg in Kuwait on a management team

with Peat Marwick MitcheU constmcting and staffing the first oil refinery in Kuwait.

Jack's small business experience and ownership started when he moved to Steamboat

Springs in 1969 and established his own real estate company, and was later a hands-on

and active partner/owner/operator in a small coal mining operation.

Jack served 8 years in the Colorado House of Representatives and 8 years in the Senate.Senator Taylor knows and understands the issues m rural Colorado and worked hard on

water, tourism, skiing, small business, education, children's issues, health insurance,home healthcare, energy, environmental, agriculture issues along with senior citizens andveterans issues. He also was instrumental in providing better telecommunication accessin Northwest Colorado. A quote from one of his metro peers is "he's a bulldog on those

rural concerns that might otherwise get run over by the Front Range point of view".

Perhaps his most unique legislative status came j&om his time as an AIl-Conference

varsity baseball player at Iowa State. He is believed to be the only member ever of theColorado General Assembly to have played m a College World Series.

Jack and his wife, Geneva, have one married daughter and two grandchildren.

Senator Taylor served as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the Agriculture and

Natural Resources Committee, and was a member and three-time chairman of theLegislative Audit Committee and a member of the Water Resources Review Committee

and the Colorado Tourism Board. Senator Taylor was the West Slope's senior legislator.

"Hands on experience counts" and, over the 16 years he served in the Colorado General

Assembly, he applied COMMON SENSE and BUSINESS EXPERIENCE to pass over80% of the legislation on which he was the prime sponsor. He was LEGISLATIVELYEFFECTF^E.

8 years

I own and operate Cantina restaurant and E3 Chophouse

I was a professional baseball player for 7 years, I then was with ski patrol in Beaver Creek for 2 years, I was then a police officer for 7 years, 3 of which were here in Steamboat. I bought Cantina about 4 years ago, E3 has been running for just over a year.

I serve on three boards, two are condominium boards and the other is the Chief Theatre board Vice President. I have also put in work with Chris Paoli on the TIF and URA for downtown.

I have been a police officer and I know what they need and do not need in a new station.. I came from a new station in Glenwood Springs to a relatively old station in Steamboat. I can tell you what makes sense functionally as well as what does not make sense. I have also worked on several capitol projects in the development stages and have a good knowledge of C

construction. I have worked with several projects and can value engineer just about any project if need be.

As a member of STS board, I worked to value engineer a complete building overhaul that cost 86 owners a total of 1.5 million. I was the sole contact for all contractors and boots were on the ground every day. At the Chief, I have helped take a failing business into a Non Profit that provides a needed entity to downtown as well as work to make it make sense monetarily for everyone involved. I worked hand in hand with Scott Parker and Mary McClurg to renegotiate a lease and a purchase of the Chief theatre.

I believe that with my past experience as being on the SSPD and on Patrol for a number of years I can serve a purpose in helping the board decipher what is needed in the PD as well as the functionality of location, flow and design of the new police department.

The current station is outdated and does not flow correctly at all The evidence room is way way too small and is not streamlined The patrol room is outdated and over populated (4) There is no security measures in place in the parking lot in general and the PD has minimal security inside for the officers.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A RESIDENT OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS? 27years

CURRENT OCCUPATION/EMPLOYER: Yampa Valley Bank

PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE: Wells Fargo Bank for 32 years.

APPLICABLE COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES/VOLUNTEER WORK:See attached resume for a list of community involvement. But with thatsaid here are a couple community groups I have worked with; The LegacyCommittee, Yampa Valley Medical Center, Strings in the Mountains, PerryMansfield, Routt County 4-H, Steamboat Rotary, Ski Town USA Rotary Club,Steamboat Springs Pro Rodeo, Mountain Village Partnership and a fewothers I cannot remember.

2.50

SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE POLCE STATIONCOIV11VIITTEE: I have served on several Boards when decisions were madeto find new locations and build facilities; The hospital, Strings in theMountains, and Hospice/VNA, I have a good understanding of the decisionprocess and the factors which need to be considered when relocating bothnon-profits and businesses.

DESCRIBE YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR ATEAM MEMBER AND WHAT YOU FELT WAS YOUR STRONGESTCONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM, WHAT WERE THE OUTCOtVlES OF YOURPERSONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THOSE EFFORTS?I would say the success both the hospital has enjoyed at it's new locationand the success of the Legacy Committee in acquiring both property andeasements for public use.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE POLICE STATION COIVIIVUTTEE?I believe Steamboat Springs has an opportunity to relocate thepolice/public safety building to better serve this growing community. At it'scurrent location the current facility has served this community very well.With that said the community is growing and old town is not necessarilythe best location. I think I can bring an objective opinion about what otherpossible locations can serve this community in the future.

WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, ARE THE THREE MOST PRESSING ISSUESFACING THE CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS RELATIVE TO THE POLICESTATION?

1. Helping the community better understand the need for a newfacility.

2. Finding and acquiring the new location if it is decided we need anew facility at a new location,

3. Obtaining the financing of a new facility, if that is the direction thecommunity wants to proceed with,

2.51

OTHER COMMENTS:One concern that I have is my preference not to have late afternoon orevening meetings. If the Committee can meet in the morning or at Noon Iam interested in serving on the Committee. If the Committee chooses tomeet late afternoon or evening I will probably not have an interest.

I feel I have the background to make a contribution to this Committee andvery much appreciate you considering my interest in serving this wonderfulcommunity. Thanks John

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A RESIDENT OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS? 27 years

CURRENT OCCUPATION/EMPLOYER: Retired

PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE: U.S. Government, paralegai/ and court reporter over a period of 25

years.

APPUCABLE COMMUNITY ACTiVITIES/VOLUNTEER WORK: Steamboat Springs Planning Commission,

1990-1993; United Way board/ early 1990s; Habitat for Humanities.

SPECIAL QUALIFiCATiONS APPLiCABLE TO THE POLICE STATION COMMITTEE: The Steamboat SpringsPlanning Commission held meetings in the Public Safety Building. I have first-hand experience at how

inadequate the entire space was 20 years ago. Simply, the space did not work then and does not work

now.

DESCRIBE YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR A TEAM MEMBER AND WHAT YOUFELT WAS YOUR STRONGEST CONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM. WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES OF YOURPERSONAL CONTRiBUTON TO THOSE EFFORTS? The City Code was revised during the time 1 served on

Planning Commission/ which required many hours of volunteer time beyond the normal functions of the

commission. My strongest contribution to the team was that I was a counter-balance to the "pave and

build at any cost" members.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE POLICE STATION COMMITTEE? I want to serve on the Police

Station Committee because our police department needs and deserves workable and safe facilities for

itself and the community at large. A strong, visibie law enforcement presence in a community deters

crime.

WHAT/ IN YOUR OPINION, ARE THE THREE MOST PRESSING ISSUES FACING THE CITY OF STEAMBOATSPRiNGS RELATiVE TO THE POLICE STATION: Inadequate space, poor working condition, and location.

OTHER COMMENTS: In my prior court reporting career in the Northern Virginia/Washington/ D.C. area, I

was very famiiiar with law enforcement agencies/ courtrooms, jails and federal prisons. I worked in

every possible building from the very old to modern construction and saw how law enforcement

personnel (and mysejf) acted and reacted to their work environment.

THE TEAM. WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES OF YOUR PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONTO THOSE EFFORTS?I have served in numerous governance positions that have required short andlong range planning and consensus building. Whether in the nonprofit, civic orprivate sector, the contribution of my pragmatic leadership skills has resulted inpositive impacts ranging from organizational development/re-structuring to majorpublic project development. Always a risk taker, the most successful projects Ihave been involved with have been amid intense public scrutiny. Two that cometo the forefront are 1) the support of the Mountain Base URA (2005) and 2) thefirst nationally advertised public art award and project development with city andNational Endowment for the Arts funds (1993).

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE POLICE STATION COMMITTEE?I believe our community's basic infrastructure needs have been, for some time,nickel and dimed in long range planning processes and within our challengingtax structure.

I believe my civic service back ground and leadership skills willadd to the success of this citizen committee in accomplishing this goal.

WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, ARE THE THREE MOST PRESSING ISSUES FACINGTHE CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS RELATIVE TO THE POLICE STATION?

• Relationship of our new public safety facility to other infrastructure needsin the larger community.

I believe that my consulting, financial, and business leadership expertise can help bring forward a logical

and explainable solution to a difficult decision that has political, operational, and financial components. I

have no pre-conceived ideas, no political connections, and no financial biases that would in any way make

this decision more complicated than it already is. There appears to be a need for a thorough analysis of

all the divergent needs that can lead to a necessary decision and I believe I have the personal and

business skills to help with that process.

I was interviewed and chosen as the consultant to the Selection Committee of the Winter Sports Club to advise with the search process, position criteria, advertising, interviewing, selection, and recommendation to the Board of Directors for a new Executive Director. The committee and I met twice a week during the summer of 2013 and I participated in the presentation of the committee recommendation to the Board in August. My contributions to the committee included: - a recommendation for personal and electronic networking through community contacts and ski industry executives in addition to print advertising in industry publications, - encouraging open dialogue and consensus-building among diverse selection committee members, - setting up an on-line communication tool for committee members to present job requirements, collect written applications, and confidentially store applicant resumes, - leadership in developing interview questions and process decisions for finalist in-person interviews, - assisting with the presentation of the selected candidate to the SSWSC Board including written and oral presentations. The outcome was the successful hire of an outstanding business leader who has demonstrated his abilities to lead the club members and staff, build community relationships, and set strategic directions for the future.

- Ability to bring consensus to widely divergent viewpoints through development of objectives, careful review of alternatives, and development of a process for reaching a timely decision.

- Expertise with budget preparation, analysis, and presentation

- Expertise with financial statements, accounting, and analysis of financial information

- Computer skills with spreadsheets, presentations, and internet-based communications

- Negotiating partnerships and community development opportunities

2.74

Location - A location that makes sense operationally for the Police Department andwill convince the citizens of Steamboat Springs that ihis location will assist inmeeting their needs for police protection.

Cost-effective - Meets the objectives of the citizens of Steamboat Springs for anaffordable, long-term solution to the needs of a growing city.

Explainable - There will undoubtedly be unusual scrutiny of whatever decision ismade so the decision will need to stand up to this scrutiny and be logical to allcompeting viewpoints.

OTHER GOMMENTS:

Trained in consensus building and process development

Time available to actively participate in the process

lnterpersonal and communication skills to timely complete the task

Personally committed to the success of this community

Associate, Clarion Associates

I am a land use planning professional with 18 years of experience in land planning and site analysis, real estate development, project management, public-private partnerships, community relations and public process, real estate financial analysis.

This would be one of my first forays into community volunteer work. I have been involved in community decision making processes my entire career, however, it has always been in a professional capacity. I look forward to being able to provide my expertise on a volunteer basis.

DESCRIBE YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR ATEAM MEMBER AND WHAT YOU FELT WAS YOUR STRONGESTCONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM. WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES OF YOURPERSONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THOSE EFFORTS?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE POLICE STATION COMMITTEE?

WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, ARE THE THREE MOST PRESSING ISSUESFACING THE CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS RELATIVE TO THE POLICESTATION?

As a former planner for the City of Steamboat Springs, I have a sound understanding of the land use planning and development issues, the community development code, and the issues surrounding the need for a new police station.

In my current capacity as Redevelopment Program Manager for Fort Collins, I lead complex negotiations for property acquisition and disposition, analyze public financing mechanisms, and negotiate public/private redevelopment projects.

I have been on numerous project teams throughout my career and feel that my strength as a team member comes from my ability to objectively look at issues and present solutions based on the interests of the parties involved as opposed to some preconceived, biased opinion.

My most recent example is my particpation on the City of Fort Collins negotiating team that negotiated the Redevelopment Agreement with Alberta Development Partners that provided $53M is public assistance for the redevelopment of the aging Foothills Mall. While representing the City's interest, I played an important role in understanding and articulating both sides of the issues which resulted in an agreement that has been viewed as favorable by both sides and an example of a true partnership.

I believe the decision to move forward with a capital project of this magnitude should be made with the upmost respect for a transparent public process. Public projects are held to a higher standard in terms of transparency and public participation. Given the history of the police station project to date, this citizen committee will help to restore the commuity's confidence in the decision making process. Given my background and expertise, I believe I can contribute to the committee's ability to examine the issues surrounding the police station and help to provide the City Council with a recommendation that is based on sound analysis and is, ultimately, best for the community.

Trust and Credibility: The need for a new police station has been discussed for years by City staff, by City Councils, and by the overall community; however, a lack of trust and credibility has stalled an important community project. It is critical the citizen's committee follow a transparent process that results in a decision that helps to regain the trust of the community.

Location: The selection of a site for a new police station must take into account the unique requirements of such a facility, such as response times, access, visibility, surrounding uses, and acreage given the community characteristics of today, as well as the future. This must be balanced with the underlying zoning of a particular area, as well as the highest and best use of a particular site.

Fiscal Responsibility and Efficiency: Construction costs are extremely high these days so an analysis must be completed that looks at methods to control costs, while meeting the needs of the community in terms of public safety. This could include partnerships with other public entities, public-private partnerships, or other methods that result in an increased economy of scale. Various financing strategies should be evaluated, as well as the design of the facility to ensure the community is getting the biggest ban for the buck.

DESCRIBE YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS A BOARD MEMBER OR ATEAM MEMBER AND WHAT YOU FELT WAS YOUR STRONGESTCONTRIBUTION TO THE TEAM. WHAT WERE THE OUTCOMES OF YOURPERSONAL CONTRIBUTION TO THOSE EFFORTS?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE POLICE STATION COMMITTEE?

WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, ARE THE THREE MOST PRESSING ISSUESFACING THE CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS RELATIVE TO THE POLICESTATION?

My involvement with the Young Professionals Network over the last 3+ years hasbeen by far the most rewarding. Being involved in and knowledgable of community events, as well as a consistent approach to problem solving and an ability to challengethe status quo, were my largest contributions to the YPN Board. While Chair last year, our organization raised over $16,000 for local charities, grew it’s membership from 60 to 105, made a yearly profit for first time, and recruited several new board members to grow the organization going forward. While serving on the Steamboat Pilot & Today’s editorial board, I presented novel view points which were incorporated into stories that then influenced local dialog in a positive way.

This is a unique opportunity to be involved and find a path forward for a critical issue facing our community. My goal is to find, and establish reasoning behind, a logical solution that continues to make sense for the community years and decades down the road. Very simply, the police station committee is a chance to help shape a betterfuture for our community. Also, with having family in law enforcement (however not inthe Steamboat Springs PD) I understand how crucial it is for the people that protect us to have the resources they need to do their job.

My specific qualifications include both education and professional experience related to business finance, economics, building materials, and construction. I have intimate experience creating and adhering to budgets; both small and multi-million dollar in size.I am versed in risk management related to balance sheet financing and the upside and downside tradeoffs of various financing techniques. By participating in local groups and committees I have demonstrated an ability to create and strengthen partnerships. In addition, I have kept up to date with current issues facing the City of Steamboat Springs and the surrounding area.

Very simply, the most pressing issues are captured well in the directive of the Police Station committee. Below are the three issues I see as most pressing:

1. Site location - What makes the most sense for location in regards to the response times for emergency calls, access to other local services, and future private development (including, but not limited to, the downtown area and Yampa Street).

2. Building Size - In order to be most effective, what does our police force need to do theirjob; and what additional amenities would aid in operations, training, or retention that doesn’t dramatically increase costs.

3. Financing - With respect to the financial position of the City, where is the most logical place for the funds for construction to come from, whether it be reserves, debt, a combination of the two, or another currently unknown alternative.

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to serve our community with a pragmatic and common sense approach.

III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Iron Horse Inn was purchased by the City in November, 2007 with the intention of providing rental housing for transitional, seasonal, and year-round employees of the City and the private sector. The property consists of two structures: Building A, the hotel, has 1 two-bedroom unit and 25 motel/dorm rooms; Building B, the apartments, has 3 one-bedroom units and 24 efficiencies. The Inn transitioned from hotel operations to workforce housing in November, 2008 under the management of a local property management company. The management company and the City mutually agreed to terminate the agreement in February, 2009. From June to November, 2009 the City operated the entire facility with month to month leases for local, workforce housing. During this interim, the City issued a Request for Proposal for management and operations of the Inn, with two proposals received. In December, 2009, the City entered into a lease agreement with New West Inns, who proposed to operate the property with nightly and monthly rentals. Initial capital costs and the lagging economy resulted in a slow start for New West. The City worked with New West by waiving lease payments for January and February and deferring lease payments for March through June. In November, 2010, City Council approved to restructure the lease with a monthly rent of $11,000 and no percentage share in the annual net profit. Unfortunately, New West was not able to meet the terms of the agreement and the lease was terminated in January, 2011. From January 2011, to November, 2012, the City operated the Inn with nightly and monthly rentals. Because the operating expenses outpaced the revenue stream, Building A was closed in November, 2012 and the City continued to operate Building B with monthly rentals which continue to the present. The City’s primary goal is to operate the Iron Horse Inn as cost effectively as possible while maintaining appropriate levels of tenant services. In September 2014, in response to an improved economy, a local hotel, the Steamboat Sheraton, requested to lease Building A in its entirety for the upcoming winter ski season in an effort to secure housing for their seasonal employees. The lease runs from December 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 at the rate of $18,000 per month. Various parties have contacted the City requesting to purchase, repurpose, manage, and/or redevelop the property. The purpose of this Request for Proposal is to determine the best and highest use for the property. Since January, 2011, the City has spent $183,000 in repairs and maintenance, which include roof repairs and partial replacement on the apartment building, roof replacement on the hotel, structural repairs to the exterior apartment stairs, HVAC upgrades, new

3.4

carpeting, gutter systems, lighting upgrades, key system upgrades, paint (exterior and interior) and some electrical upgrades. A recent appraisal values the property at $1.6 million. Additional documentation regarding the property including floor plans, the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, photographs, survey, Asbestos Report, structural inspection report and appraisal can be found on the City’s website: http://steamboatsprings.net/DocumentCenter/Index/400.

I. REQUEST OR ISSUE: Staff seeks Council direction on the future of the Iron Horse Inn. Does Council wish to continue providing affordable workforce housing; should the property be redeveloped; should the City sell the property? II. RECOMMENDED ACTION / NEXT STEP: Direction from Council. III. FISCAL IMPACTS: None at this time.

IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

3.8

As Council is aware, the October, 2007 purchase of the Iron Horse Inn occurred at a time of very low unemployment when housing was needed for several local entities including the City. In order to recruit bus drivers in 2006 and 2007, the City rented housing for seasonal drivers at a cost of $40,500 for the 2006/2007 winter season. Since its purchase, the property has been operated and managed under a variety of scenarios. See the attached summary and timeline of those various methods of operation. Since January, 2011, the City has spent $183,000 in repairs and maintenance, which include roof repairs and partial replacement on the apartment building, roof replacement on the hotel, structural repairs to the exterior apartment stairs, HVAC upgrades, new carpeting, gutter systems, lighting upgrades, key system upgrades, paint (exterior and interior) and some electrical upgrades. A recent appraisal values the property at $1.6 million. Currently, the hotel building, whose use has been converted to a dormitory, is rented to the Steamboat Sheraton Resort for employee housing. The Sheraton continues to express interest in renting the building for 3 – 4 months in the summer and then again the following ski season. There may be interest among other members of the lodging community to partner with the Sheraton in providing employee housing to address their seasonal staffing needs and the shortage of workforce housing. It is also feasible to consider the dormitory as a means of recruiting seasonal transit drivers. Today’s operations generate approximately $18,000 per month ($216,000 annually) from the 26 apartment units and $18,000 per month ($72,000 over 4 months) from the Sheraton renting 23 units in the dormitory (hotel) building. If Council desires to continue providing affordable workforce housing for the foreseeable future, additional ongoing maintenance and repairs are necessary. Over the course of the next 10 to 20 years, both buildings will need electrical and plumbing upgrades, roof replacement for the primary apartment structure, parking lot and drainage repairs, drywall repairs/replacement and structural upgrades at a cost of $100,000 - $200,000 per year. The collateral obligation related to the debt used to purchase the property was recently moved to the Public Works campus relieving the Iron Horse of any constraints involved with changing the use, demolishing and redeveloping or selling the property. Over the past year, staff has been approached by several entities (individuals and corporations) seeking to purchase the property. It is important to note that the City will continue to pay annually on the debt at a cost of approximately $480,000 per year until 2032. The first opportunity to pay the debt off in full ($5 million) will come in December of 2018. Now that no restrictions exist, staff seeks Council’s input on future uses of the property. V. LEGAL ISSUES: None with this communication. VI. CONFLICTS OR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: None with this communication.

3.9

VII. SUMMARY AND ALTERNATIVES: Council has several options:

1. Continue operating the property providing affordable workforce housing; continue to repair, upgrade and maintain the facilities.

2. Seek competitive bids for the sale of the property. 3. Seek competitive proposals to redevelop the property. 4. Other direction.

EASEMENT OVER REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. (Foote)

NEXT STEP: Adopt the resolution.

ORDINANCE x RESOLUTION MOTION ____ DIRECTION ____ INFORMATION

I. REQUEST OR ISSUE: A resolution that dedicates to public use a roadway easement at the Angler’s Drive crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2008 the City petitioned the Public Utilities Commission to convert the then private railroad crossing of Angler’s Drive to a public crossing. The purpose of the conversion was to improve access to the Fish Creek Mobile Home Park. As part of the conversion process the City entered into a crossing agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad. The crossing agreement included the conveyance by the railroad of an easement to the City for public road purposes over the Union Pacific tracks. The crossing agreement included a provision that the City would dedicate the easement to public use. This provision is somewhat redundant because the language of the

4.1

conveyance effectively dedicates the easement to public use. However, it is harmless and the City did not object to its inclusion in the crossing agreement. The Yampa Valley Housing Authority is in the process of seeking to refinance debt secured by the Fish Creek Mobile Home Park. The title company insuring the Housing Authority’s title has requested that the City perfect the access easement and the Mobile Home Park’s access rights by formally dedicating the easement to public use III. LEGAL ISSUES. None. The proposed resolution will have no practical impact on the City’s property rights. It is a formality intended to satisfy the Yampa Valley Housing Authority’s title company. IV. FISCAL IMPACTS. None.

THROUGH: Chuck Anderson, Director of Public Works (Ext. 204) DATE: March 17, 2015

ITEM: A resolution supporting Colorado State legislation to

protect public regional stormwater management activities. FORM OF MOTION: Move to approve resolution supporting Colorado state

legislation to protect public regional stormwater management activities.

_ ORDINANCE

X RESOLUTION MOTION ___ INFORMATION I. REQUEST/ISSUE & BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Having remained silent on regional stormwater management since 1972, the State Engineer has recently determined that regional public stormwater detention constitutes a diversion of water that is subject to water rights administration. If this determination holds, Water rights administration would require that regional detention facilities obtain a water court decree for a “plan for augmentation”, a costly, time-consuming, and litigious endeavor. This change in administrative course would impact regional facilities. The State Engineer does operate a policy entitled Administrative Approach for Storm Water Management, which exempts private detention facilities associated with new development on individual sites from water rights administration.

5.1

Water Rights and the State Engineer’s administration of the existing rules are an important component of Colorado law. Retention of water is not allowed by City Drainage Criteria for storm water management and is regulated by the State Engineer via the Water Courts. Unlike retention, detention facilities are designed to slow the release of drainage resulting from a storm event over a set time period (maximum 72 hours). This management technique is an important tool for mitigating flood impacts and providing storm water quality treatment. The 2014 Citywide Stormwater Master Plan identified a number of locations where regional detention facilities would be a tool for mitigating flood impacts to the City of Steamboat Springs. These regional facilities function to protect downstream properties during storm events and serve to avoid costly or impractical improvements to downstream infrastructure. The modified administrative approach that the State Engineer is now applying may preclude the construction of a regional detention facility without going through a lengthy and costly water rights augmentation process. Effective management of stormwater entering into and originating within urban areas is essential to protect public health and safety and to comply with state and federal law relating to storm water management. While the City does not currently have a plan for construction of any regional detention facilities, effectively removing this tool for managing flood impacts and treatment of stormwater runoff would hamper the City’s ability to serve its citizenry.

II. ALTERNATIVES: Approve the resolution to support the State legislation and endorse the attached letter of support. Deny the resolution to support the State legislation and do not endorse the attached letter of support. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution and endorse the letter of support. IV. FISCAL IMPACTS: None

5.2

V. LEGAL ISSUES: None VI. CONFLICTS OR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: The City operates an MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permit issued by the CDPHE requiring that the City adequately manage the storm water quality released to the river and creeks from urban areas. Detention facilities provide a viable option for treatment of that storm water run-off and can help manage the peak flows from urban environments in a manner replicating natural flow patterns.

Re: Support of Legislation to Protect Public Regional Stormwater Management Activities

Dear Mr. MacKenzie:

There is significant evidence that management of runoff using detention facilities can be an essential tool to preserve lives, protect public health and safety, avoid damage to downstream property and stream systems, and to comply with the Federal Clean Water Act. Regional stormwater detention facilities mitigate flood impacts while minimizing water quality impacts. The City of Steamboat Springs has not historically relied on regional detention facilities for mitigation of the impacts of runoff, however recent hydrologic studies have identified some potential opportunities to provide flood protection for major storm events in historically developed areas.

The State Engineer has historically recognized that stormwater detained for no more than 72-hours has limited impact on beneficial uses downstream and has exempted these facilities from water rights administration. A change in the approach to administration of detention facilities, especially for those mitigating major storm events, may in effect remove a valuable tool for communities to protect their population as a result of the costly and time-consuming litigation of any required augmentation process. Striking a balance between the protection of public safety and the efficient use of public dollars may become unnecessarily difficult for small, west-slope municipalities like Steamboat Springs without due consideration for a de minimus impact provision for storm water detention facilities.

Therefore, the City of Steamboat Springs supports the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) in its effort to work to define regional stormwater detention facilities as non-injurious to water rights holders, mindful that that the State Engineer may desire to define some minimum criteria for such facilities.

Sincerely,

Bart Kounovsky PresidentCity Council

WHEREAS, the Colorado General Assembly is considering legislation in the form of an amendment to Section 37-92-602, C.R.S. that would preclude the operation of stormwater detention facilities from being deemed to cause injury to vested water rights, a draft copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (“Proposed Legislation”); and WHEREAS, the Proposed Legislation will allow for the effective operation of stormwater detention facilities and for the protection of the public safety, welfare, property, and the environment; and WHEREAS, administration of water rights regulations is a vital exercise that the State of Colorado serves; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Steamboat Springs wishes to express its support for the Proposed Legislation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE

CITY OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO, THAT:

The City Council endorses legislation amending Section 37-92-602 to set certain criteria that would allow the State Engineer to include public regional stormwater management activities as a de minimus impact to water rights administration in line with the existing policy entitled Administrative Approach for Stormwater Management.

CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM

FROM: Kim Weber, Finance Director (Ext. 250)

THROUGH: Deb Hinsvark, City Manager (Ext. 240) DATE: March 17, 2015

ITEM: Ordinance: First Supplemental Budget Appropriation

of 2015 – first reading FORM OF MOTION: Approve First Supplemental Budget Appropriation of

2015.

___ DIRECTION ___ INFORMATION _X_ ORDINANCE ___ MOTION ___ RESOLUTION

I. REQUEST/ISSUE & BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

As we close the City of Steamboat Springs books each year, part of that process is re-appropriating funds that the City has obligated for the next budget year. The City must re-appropriate funds for on-going projects, open purchase orders that a contract is attached to, and grant funded projects. Budgets do not automatically roll over into the next year; therefore this is the process that must be taken in order for the City to up-hold their contractual obligations.

There is an attached a spreadsheet with the detail for the items that must be re-budgeted for 2015. The spreadsheet includes each of the following:

1. Items contracted at the time of 12/31/2014. These are purchase orders

that were under contract at the end of 2014. Therefore, the City has a

7.1

contractual obligation to these vendors.

2. Incomplete Projects. There are many variables with capital projects that make it difficult to complete in one budget year. Many of these projects are grant funded, therefore they must be budgeted for in total when the grant is awarded and the remaining amount not spent must be re-budgeted for each year until the project is completed.

All of these items were previously budgeted and accounted for in the projected numbers going forward. For accounting purposes, any unused funds at the end of 2014 go into reserves and this supplemental budget appropriation shows utilization of those reserves. In some cases we have grant revenue that will be recognized in 2015 as well (as noted on the attached spreadsheet). We only recognize the grant revenue in our accounting when we “earn” it since these are all reimbursement grants. Therefore, the revenue goes hand in hand with the expenses. Although the ordinance for the appropriation is $11,350,049, it is actually a use of reserves of a smaller $8,113,024 because we will be recognizing the grant revenue as well. Again, these are all items that were previously budgeted in 2014 and not spent.

II. ALTERNATIVES: None noted. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Approve at first and second readings. IV. FISCAL IMPACTS:

ITEM: Supplemental Budget Appropriation Ordinance for Site

Work on 603 Yampa Street (Workman Property)

___ DIRECTION ___ INFORMATION _X_ ORDINANCE ___ MOTION ___ RESOLUTION

I. REQUEST OR ISSUE:

The City of Steamboat Springs purchased property at 603 Yampa Street known as the Workman Property in January with Accommodation Tax Funds. Staff requested direction from Council at the February 3rd City Council meeting on how to move forward with the site improvements and received direction to bring back a supplemental budget appropriation to complete site improvements in 2015.

II. RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve 2nd reading of supplemental budget appropriation in order to remove the existing structure on the property and create greenspace in 2015 rather than phasing the projection with a completion date of 2016.

III. FISCAL IMPACTS: Proposed Expenditure:

10.1

$125,000 Funding Source: Accommodation Tax Fund Reserves (Advance of 2016 Yampa Street Funds) IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000) per year for 3 years has been dedicated to Yampa Street Improvement via an approved 2013 ballot question. City Council approved budgets including $300,000 in 2014 and $360,000 in 2015 for the purpose of purchasing and improving 603 Yampa Street. City Council agreed to advance $60,000 from the 2016 allocated funds leaving $240,000 for the Yampa Street Improvements in 2016. There is $50,000 budgeted in the Capital Projects Fund in 2015 for the culvert and drainage work that needs to be done in and around the area of this property. It would be beneficial from a cost, safety, and efficiency standpoint to relocate/remove the structure, complete culvert work, complete riverbank construction, and restore the land to a greenspace by the end of 2015 rather than doing the project in two phases. This would require an additional advance of Accommodation Tax Funds $125,000 from the 2016 allocation which would leave $115,000 for 2016. The initial phasing of this project will include removing the structures, both house and garage, from the property, removing the walls along the Yampa River and Butcherknife Creek, replacing the removed walls with riparian habitat, planting and irrigating the area with grass, and relocating utilities from the building. Staff will then work with stakeholders to identify what best fits in the interior of the park through the winter of 2015/16 and complete the project in the summer of 2016. Construction on all of these projects has to take place during low flow periods. This phase 1 would take place from June – September of 2015. Based on the accommodation tax revenue received in 2014 along with the projected revenue for 2015 there is sufficient reserves within this fund to account for this advance from a cash flow stand point. If this supplemental budget appropriation is approved, here is the proposed timeline for the project: January:

• Temporary wall shoring began in late January. February:

10.2

• Create Letter of Interest for moving the structures on the property in February with a closing date of March 30th.

• Draft Design RFP– mid February for internal review. March:

• Historic Preservation process in March. • Target design RFP release in early March. • Award design contract and begin design at the end of March.

April/May: • Submit Wetland permit – deadline May 1st.

• Design Development and initial Construction Cost Estimating complete – mid May.

• Asbestos Testing and Structure Demolition – May – Facilities/Steve June:

• Move house if qualified party submits application. If no qualified applicant, demolition of structure – June 30th

• Hydraulic design, Floodplain permitting, Construction Design Docs complete – June

July:

• Bid construction August:

• Begin construction V. LEGAL ISSUES: None noted. VI. CONFLICTS OR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: None noted. VII. SUMMARY AND ALTERNATIVES:

• Approve supplemental budget appropriation as written per direction given 2/3/15.

• Approve use of Accommodation Tax Reserves without it being deducted from future allocations.

• Fund improvements from another revenue source.

• Delay improvements to begin in 2016.

Tonight’s Discussion Outline

� Overview of funding issues impacting parks, open space, trails and recreation

� What the commission has learned about alternative funding

� How alternative funding could help with issues and address opportunities in the area

� Suggested next steps� Questions

11.5

Issues and Problems� Capital funding challenges continue to mount� Operations funding is challenging and new

amenities are being added (trails, Emerald Mountain Open Space)

� Lack of a dedicated funding source for capital, operations and maintenance

� Locating new facilities in existing city parks is challenging

� User groups are growing and continue to want more

� Lack of a regional perspective relating to parks and recreation

11.6

Opportunities� We can be a “world-class” parks and recreation

system� Looking regionally, passive and active recreation

opportunities beyond the city limits could occur, some existing park areas could be repurposed and trails could be expanded beyond city boundaries

� Some alternative funding methods allow for a dedicated funding structure

� The “district” concept would create an authority that is dedicated to parks, open space, trails and recreation provision and focus on these assets

11.7

What the Commission has Learned� The Commission recognizes that parks and

recreation services are important to the community at large and also realizes that the current funding structure impedes how services could grow in the future

� Demand for more access to programs and services continues to increase

� In the summer of 2014, the Commission felt the need to explore different funding structures and wanted to be educated

� The Commission invited park and recreation district directors to public meetings to learn more about how a district is formed and how it works

11.8

What the Commission Learned (con’t)� The Commission invited a special districts

attorney to a public meeting in August of 2014 to learn about Title 32 Special Districts

� The Commission reviewed adopted plans and other planning documents to learn about funding strategies that could be used to achieve plan success

� On January 25, 2015, the Commission formulated a strategy to undertake and desired to meet with City Council to describe how to move forward

11.9

Proposed Next Steps� Formulate a working group of seven (7) with

representation from the Parks and Recreation Commission, the City, the County, and the public and advised by a consultant versed in governmental alternative funding strategies

� Allow the group to explore different funding and management structures, some being foundations, districts, dedicated tax and some as yet to be identified

� The work group would study from 6-9 months and give updates and presentations to the Parks and Recreation Commission

� The group would present its findings to City Council at the end of Q4 2015 or beginning of Q1 2016

STAFF FINDINGS

Staff finds that the Development Plan for the proposed Temporary Use as a Dormitory in the Alpiner Lodge at 424 Lincoln Avenue (Original Town SS, Block 19, Lots 8-10; #DP-15-02), a Conditional Use in the CO zone district, is INCONSISTENT with the Criteria for Approval for a Development Plan.

If approved, Staff recommends the following conditions be placed on the Temporary Use:

1. The term of this Conditional Use approval for the Temporary Use as a Dormitory shall expire on April 30, 2016.

2. The use shall comply with all applicable codes and regulations.

3. Required sidewalk repair shall be completed by May 31, 2015.

STAFF PRESENTATION

Rebecca Bessey, City Planner: [gap-no audio] … to be approved in this district for up to 24 months and that temporary uses are to be approved for a specific, defined time period not to exceed two years. The applicant is requesting approval of the dormitory through April 30, 2016. We did review the request based on the criteria for approval of a development plan. We found it to be generally inconsistent with several of those criteria -- mainly because dormitories are not a permitted use in the CO district. In addition to that, that type of long-term residential use is not envisioned by the community plan for the downtown in the CO district on the pedestrian level in particular.However, for a limited period of time we did feel that this type of use could be acceptable if it is approved on a temporary basis with a specific endpoint. We did provide some revised conditions of approval to you tonight that are different than what was in your original packet. We would be prepared to recommend approval through April 30, 2016 as proposed by the applicant subject to the use complying with all applicable building and fire codes and subject to the sidewalk repairs that are required to be completed by May 31, 2015.

APPLICANT PRESENTATION

Jon Wade:We did not prepare a formal presentation; we’re ready to answer any questions. We’ve worked fairly closely with Planning to arrive at this recommendation and are happy with the recommendations. We wanted to provide affordable housing and saw it as a way to help the resort economy through our relationship with Resort Group.

QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS

Commissioner MacArthur: Jon, staff came out today with revised findings that included the sidewalk repair. I’m not sure if the rest of the commission received the background info on that, but that’s been a repair that’s been brought up and put off since ’08 or ’07. So when you say you agree with all staff’s recommendations, I assume that’s included.

Wade: That just came yesterday, so I can’t say I’ve studied it, but I’m not objecting.

Commissioner Buckley: Staff, when you approved in October of 2014 specifically that the rooms being rented were not to be for long-term occupancy, were to be limited to less than 20 and were to be located on the first floor, why did they need to be located on the first floor?

Bessey: It wasn’t really that we were concerned about what floor they were on. That was part of the application. When they submitted the application for the lodge use, I had asked that they identify which rooms were to be rented because the property has more than 20 rooms, and a lodge is to be limited to less than 20. So to ensure that they were complying with that definition and that use, we had asked them to identify which rooms. In that application, they had said that they were going to be renting the first floor. So that’s where that condition of approval came from to ensure they were operating in conformance with that application and that approval. But it’s not that we were opposed to them being on the first floor rather than the second floor; it was really more a number of rooms.

Commissioner Levy:For staff, in the CO district it’s a conditional use for hotels. We have now three or four hotels in the CO district. Do you see that as a long-term vision to start excluding them from the CO district or having them refurbish and put commercial on the first floor? What do you think the vision for that regulation is?

Tyler Gibbs, Director of Planning: I can’t speak to when that originated. I’d have to do some research to determine what the thought behind that was with either city staff or the city council at the time that put the prohibition in. But we’d be happy to look at that. I’m not sure that it’s part of a long-term vision at this point, but I can’t speak to the original intent.

Commissioner Meyer confirmed that Jon Wade is the owner and Resort Group is the tenant.Meyer: For staff, when you looked at the conditions for calling this a dormitory, since the lease is really to one entity, what triggers the dormitory designation? If they had been renting to individuals on a short term, would you have had a different category or classification?

12.15

Bessey: Hotels are defined and intended to provide temporary accommodation on a short-term basis. We arrived at dormitory because it was really more consistent with the way the use is operating. Regardless if they have individual leases with people for individual rooms versus the building-wide lease to Resort Group didn’t really come into play. It was really more how the use was operating and how long folks were staying there and that it’s not operating in a manner consistent with the definition of a hotel. It’s not short-term; it’s not temporary accommodation for guests; this is really providing a residence per say for folks on a longer-term basis. We’re not able to classify it as multiple-family dwellings because the individual rooms don’t meet the definition of a dwelling unit. So that’s where they fit best into that dormitory use where they have a common kitchen that they share and individual sleeping rooms.

Levy: For staff, what’s the circumstances if the applicant or another applicant wants to extend these conditions? Is it a total new process? Is it completely prohibited? Is a continuation or a new application for temporary use processed?

Bessey: The code allows for temporary uses; it allows for them as a conditional use; and it defines temporary use as a use that is defined and intended to only exist through a specified time period not to exceed two years. I don’t think that would preclude an applicant from coming forward and asking for another temporary use of a dormitory for another two years. I think it would have to go through another public hearing process, and I think at that point we would have to look really long and hard as to if we stack multiple temporary use approvals on top of each other, haven’t we just created really a permanent use or allowed for the existence of this use that wouldn’t otherwise be permitted in that zone. But I don’t think it prohibits someone from asking.

MacArthur: Matt, would you mind reminding us from a Public Works perspective what you would be looking for regarding the sidewalk repair since that was kind of thrown in today?

Matt Eggen, Staff Engineer:The code requires that any property owner adjacent to a sidewalk maintains and repairs his or her own sidewalk. We do an annual sidewalk inspection that identifies any trip hazards – that’s mainly what we look for – and then deterioration, problems with the sidewalk. We sent them a letter in 2007 and 2008. The first letter was just kind of you need to fix it; the second letter was you have until May 29, 2009 to fix it. They still haven’t complied.

MacArthur: Do we know what happened the previous five years?

Eggen: We try to do the whole city probably every three, four, five years, but we don’t inspect the entire city every year.

MacArthur: Not holding you to this, but in your opinion to come into compliance is this a remove and replace situation, or is grinding down a trip hazard?

Eggen: It could be either. Looking at the entrance, it looks like more of a replace, but if there’s some trip hazards it could just be filling or grinding to come into compliance.

PUBLIC COMMENT

Mark Walker, President, Resort Group: I just want to say that it was a large need in order to have housing for this winter for our employees. If this wouldn’t have occurred, I’m not sure how the impact would be on our guests in our units, our employees staying outside of Steamboat Springs, and the overall impact on the visitor. We were down to the last wire, and there was an opportunity there of a property sitting in downtown Steamboat Springs empty, and we were able to make very good use of it partnered with Jon Wade. It’s worked out very well for us thus far. It’s housekeeping that is in that building. They keep it clean. I have maintenance teams down there on a regular basis. I drive by on a regular basis, and it’s amazing how low impact it is. You rarely see anybody there. Most of my staff don’t have cars. It’s quiet; I touch base with the neighbors. It’s very important to us to respect the location that we’re in, and we’ve been on that big time. I think it’s gone very well from our perspective, so I hope that you’re going to continue to work with the Alpiner owners because it’s something we desperately need.

APPLICANT COMMENTS

Wade: Like I said at the start, we had an asset that just wasn’t being used. This isn’t a financial positive for us to do it, but we thought it was important to have a use down there and to help provide a resort economy. I don’t know if you’ve seen, but rentals are tighter than they were in 2007, so these guys probably didn’t have a place to go. Mark didn’t mention it, but their previous units got pulled kind of at the last minute where these people were going to be. So it wasn’t lack of planning on their part; they were adapting to a change in situation. I think we all wish that we had understood how the codes would be applied a little better at the start, but I can assure you our intentions were good all along. Rich, your question about first-level use downtown is a great question. Chris and I were talking about this earlier, and he made the point that…

Chris Paoli, Co-Owner, Alpiner: We were talking about how the city’s overall code for first-level use almost causes an oversupply of product from a retail standpoint and almost impacts in a negative way the retail experience and puts extra strain on our retailers because I think it becomes very fragmented. I think it'’s a good part of our code that probably at some point needs to be looked at. I think the Alpiner falls in the category of being outside the main corridor of where people walk.

Wade: Like anything, I think we have a good code to start with, but things evolve. There are some uses that were complicated, economic circumstances that were complicated, and we would appreciate any judgment that you might exercise in recognizing those things in relation to this use.

STAFF COMMENTS

Gibbs: I just wanted to mention that this is not a situation where we were ever opposed to this use per say; we just wanted to make sure that everybody was working together to

12.17

make sure we understood what was occurring and make sure we were addressing any issues that were brought up regarding the conditions and safety of the people who were being housed there. Again, we weren’t opposed to this; we just wanted to make sure that it was all being documented and everybody understood exactly how we needed to work together to make this successful.

COMMISSIONER DELIBERATION/MOTION

MacArthur: In the broader context of things here, I don’t think there’s too many people in the community that aren’t sitting back and applauding a free-market solution to what we all know is a rough rental and housing market here in Steamboat – especially for the lower-wage workforce. I would applaud staff for looking through those lenses at this project and working with the applicant to get to where they are today. I think that says a lot about where we can go. MOTIONCommissioner MacArthur moved to approve #DP-15-02 with revised conditions #1 and #3.MacArthur: I am specifically excluding Condition #2: You shall comply with all applicable codes and regulations… I think that’s inherent in all approvals we give. However, as we know, this particular application has a bigger battle ahead at city council. For the record, it would be my hope that council would work with the applicant to at a minimum get through the 2015 season and potentially on to the 2016 season. I don’t want our condition of approval to preclude that conversation happening.Commissioner Burns seconded the motion.

DISCUSSION ON MOTIONLevy: I have to ask staff: #2, besides the conflicts that we’ve discussed specifically with the fire code, do you think there are any other codes or regulations that #2 is meant to address?

Bessey: I was referring to the building and fire code issues that were in the previous conditions. I think Charlie’s motion is fine; it is inherent in our approvals that we’re not exempting anyone from meeting any other codes. So I don’t have any concerns with removing that.

Meyer: I’m going to be supporting the motion. I would rather see a request to approve a temporary use than have a vacant building on Main Street. I think it’s very important for – as Charlie stated, we clearly have a huge need. But I would hope that the long-term vision for this property is much bigger and will be looking forward to having those discussions.

SMyller CC Report

Emerald Mountain Partnership (EMP)

I have sat on this committee since before I was elected and it has changed names during my tenure. During the sale EMP was set up to maintain, improve and operate at its own expense the 586 acres of open space the city purchased in 2011. This committee was set up prior to the purchase to improve the property into a Nordic Ski Center - and other trail uses. During the recent Emerald Mountain Park Master Plan the interpretation of the Conservation Easement specifically eliminated nordic ski trails, and since then, the group hasn't got together. As they receive no funding and are tasked with maintaining 568 acres, I think we are setting them up for failure. As I recall, this committee funded nearly half of the master-plan that ended their own existence.

It may make sense to start the process of dismantling this committee. If you all agree to discuss this at an upcoming council meeting - I can reach out to the group and see where they are on this, and Staff can work through the agreements and see what it would take to dismantle.

Area Plan Coordinating Committee (APCC)

We met this week and have over the years been working on updating the IGA between the city and the county concerning cooperative planning efforts. That IGA was created in 1990 and updated in 1996. It refers to the 1996 plan, but the plan has been updated since - 2004 and we made a few amendments last year. An updated IGA made it to a draft in 2010 but died at the Council/Commissioner level. It seems that at least there should be some housekeeping to update the IGA, but would we like to discuss more substantive concepts in the agreement?

Councilman Connell attended this meeting and has ideas/concerns on our cooperative planning efforts.

Shall we bring this topic to discussion and see where we are as a Council?

It is likely too late for a discussion with the Commissioners on our April 7th meeting - but we could mention the topic and carry it forward to next quarter's meeting.

Scott L. Ford City Council Report For March 17, 2015 Monday, March 9th Community Survey Planning Team

Four (4) companies submitted proposals to conduct the Steamboat Springs Community Survey. Two of the companies had the key competencies that as a team we had identified as being critical to this task. Winnie would be asking these companies follow-up questions specifically about their benchmarking abilities, survey methodologies and Spanish language capabilities. Hopefully by our Council meeting on 17th I will be able to announce what company has been selected to conduct the community survey.

Monday, March 9th Steamboat Springs School District RE-2 Board of Education / Work Session

This was a work session and during board member reports Roger Good presented exhibits demonstrating the impact the Mountain District of the URA has had on SSSD-RE2. There was a great deal of discussion amongst the school board members about how to best communicate their concerns to Steamboat Springs City Council. The president of the school board (Roger Good) indicated that he had had a conversation with Bart Kounovsky about possible dates.

Thursday, March 12th Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association (March 2015 Board Meeting)

Jim Boyne, Executive Director of the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club did a presentation on the scope of the activity that SSWSC is involved both summer and winter. Although there is some overlap between summer and winter there are approximately 750 to 1,000 local area youth participating in programs. Jim stress that SSWSC is a youth development organization in addition to competitive training. An update was provided about the scope of work that is planned on Mt. Werner. Work will begin this summer with the goal of having it completed by November 2015. The total cost of the project is about $2.4 million. Jim shared his vision and goals for CREATING CHAMPIONS CAMPAIGN. There was a discussion about the scheduling situation between Triple Crown and the Steamboat Mountain Soccer Tournaments. The message is that both groups are very valuable to Steamboat Springs’ lodging, restaurants and retail businesses. Jim Clark indicated that this has

and will continue to be a top priority of his to work toward a solution.

General Topic - AGNC –

A bill that would require that government entries conducting mail-in ballots elections provide postage paid return envelope. AGNC and the County Clerks of Colorado have come-out in opposition to this bill that it would be an added cost to conducting an election. It appears that while this bill had initial strong support – that support has been lost and the bill will be defeated.

Public Comment –

Current situation is that City Council provides for Public Comment at 7:00 pm or at the end of the meeting whichever comes first. The problem is that if City Council is engaged in a discussion at 7:00 pm, citizens expecting to address City Council have to wait. Is this a best practice? Two Possible Solutions –

1. Modify the wording currently being used regarding Public Comment to indicate that: PUBLIC COMMENT: Public Comment will be provided at 7 p.m., or as soon after 7:00 pm at the discretion of City Council President if Council is engaged in a discussion or at the end of the meeting, (whichever comes first).

2. Both the Planning Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commission take public

comment at the beginning of their respective meetings. Planning Commission at 5:00 pm and Parks & Rec. Commission at 5:30 pm. City Council could accept Public Comment as the first item of business at 5:00 pm. This would follow the same practice of both of commissions. It removes any ambiguity as to when Public Comment would occur.

In the interest of citizens waiting to address City Council which of the two options would be the most considerate to them and their time?

Kudos:

Kudos go to the downtown business establishment Kali. They had the best sales in July 2014 that they have ever had since opening in 1995! Kudos go to STEAMBOAT DANCE THEATER. What an amazing show!

FOR DISCUSSION:

Free Concert

Despite the fact that the motion did not pass to give money to the Free Concert Series over and above the allocation recommended by the Arts Coalition, I believe Council Members see the value in this program. Have we ever considered a "tax free" day/series? I’d like an update on this. I can only assume the Free Concert Series pays the City sales taxes on the alcohol sold at the event. What if they could simply keep those taxes for an event, or even the series? Has there been any additional movement on this issue?

Transit

I would like to request that we place a discussion about transit on the agenda for a meeting not later than May 2015. The intent of this would be to initiate the discussion well in advance of the budget hearing. From my perspective, the 2014-15 changes to transit got “buried” in the budget hearing. I think the public would appreciate more opportunity to weigh in on the issue and transit staff need more certainty as to how to staff for 2015-16.

Legislation to Watch (summaries from CML)

SB 15-014, Marijuana: Medical Marijuana Regulation

This bill makes several changes intended to limit abuse of the medical marijuana system in

Colorado by addressing shortcomings that open the door to such abuse. It would place greater

structure in the process medical marijuana recommendations for patients by physicians for those

claiming to suffer from severe pain. Most notable is the requirement for all primary caregivers to

register with the state health agency and Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED) that includes

penalties for failure to register. It also allows limited information sharing between MED and

CDPHE to ensure that a medical marijuana patient has only one caregiver and is not using a

primary caregiver and a medical marijuana center. This bill came from the Marijuana Revenue

Interim Committee, of which CML staff was a member. Support.

SB 15-079, Affordable Housing: Document Recording Fee. SB 15-079 creates a document recording fee of $2 at the county level. The county clerk may

keep $1 for costs incurred and requires the clerk to transmit the other $1 collected to the state

treasurer to credit to the statewide affordable housing investment fund. The bill is estimated to

bring in $1 million for the Statewide Affordable Housing Trust Fund annually. CML supports

state financial support for the Division of Housing's loan and grant program for low- and

moderate-income housing. Support.

13.5

Affordable Housing: Construction Defects The lack of owner occupied attached housing development in Colorado has been a subject of

discussion for over a year. Developers, concerned by increased law suits and liability, have shied

away from this type of affordable housing. The members of the Home Owners Opportunity

Alliance are now set to introduce bipartisan legislation to address solutions and aid the

construction of owner occupied attached housing. CML supports this legislation.

On Urban Renewal (my thoughts)

• SB15-135 is still moving through the legislature. That is related to County representation

on urban renewal authorities.

• I have been tracking the Littleton special election regarding urban renewal. The vote

came down the night of our last meeting (3.3.15) and here is an article that summarizes it.

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27639183/littleton-voters-pass-measure-restricting-citys-

urban-renewal

Here are the first two paragraphs:

“Littleton will need to go to the voters before employing commonly used urban renewal tactics, like tax increment financing or eminent domain, according to special election results released late Tuesday.

The city in Denver's southern suburbs became the first Colorado community to place such constraints on a local government's ability to use the state-sanctioned economic development tools.”

CITY MANAGER REPORT March 17, 2015

FOLLOW UP ITEMS FROM PRIOR MEETINGS

1. Transit on-time expectations At the February 24 Council meeting, staff were asked to identify a target on-time percentage for our transit

operations and to use comparative transit systems for that target. Specifically, we were asked to check with RAFTA about their on-time percentage. The following is a response from Transit Manager, Jonathan Flint:

SST tracks the reasons that there are fluctuations to the schedule. The two primary ones are weather/road and passenger volume. This year in particular, one can mirror the on time performance to the days it snowed.

What is a good target? The quick answer is 100% of the time, but having studied it, I would argue against that. In a very controlled operation, such as heavy rail, the dispatcher controls speed and dwell time, and there are few factors that can impede the progress of the train. They should operate near 100% on time.

We operate in an uncontrolled environment. We must contend with passenger volume, traffic, weather and construction. To achieve 100% or close, we would have to adopt one of two options. In the Swiss model, they stage buses and drivers throughout the system that enables them to put a reserve bus into service when the main is delayed. The result is a system that does not require a Swiss watch, as it is always on time. However, the system is very expensive. The other alternative is to build dwell time into sections of the route that enable a late bus to “catch up.” If so much dwell time is built in to support the highest levels of volume, traffic and conditions, on a “normal” day, the trip would take so long that the public would most likely select a timelier alternative.

I would recommend aiming for 80-90% on time performance. Although we achieve close to this much of the time, we have encountered very few snow days and a 12% reduction in overall volume. If this was a “normal” year, I would anticipate that we would be operating between 50-70% on time. I think this would be determined to be unacceptable. I would also assert that the 12% reduction is primarily made up of choice transit users that now use a different mode.

There are so many variables in route development, environment and volume that a comparison with other systems is not especially helpful. A target should be established that is based on local expectations, then year over year consistency should be measured. We can do this with the GPS system and look forward to using it to measure performance and develop scheduling.

While Jonathan does mention that he isn’t sold on comparisons for our transit system, he has done some research in that area and finds that in Greeley/Evans they were running 75% on time, 15% ahead of schedule and 10% behind schedule. After re-educating drivers about not running ahead of schedule, they are now running 88% on time, 5% ahead of schedule and 7% behind schedule. They use 8 minutes as the demarcation line between on time and late.

RAFTA responded as follows: On-time for RAFTA means 3 minutes late or less. Our experience for the longer-haul commuter service is similar to yours. What we have noticed is that we have times of day when things run closer to on-time and others when they don’t. Weather is always a factor. The MV-Aspen City route is 84.92% on time, Snowmass to Aspen is 71.61% on time, BRT is 62.49% on time.

2. Police Committee Facilitators Council has requested information on subject matter experts who could facilitate the newly formed Police

Station Committee. Jim McClaren is the principal of an architectural firm that specializes in the planning and design of civic and laboratory architecture. The firm’s emphasis is design for law enforcement, justice, civic, bio-safety and the forensic sciences. The firm’s work includes over 300 police facilities and crime labs in 42 states. We have been working with Mr. McClaren as the advising architect on the Steamboat Springs Police Station design for the last two years and he has indicated he will make himself available to this committee.

Additionally, we reached out to ICMA’s public safety expert, Leonard Matarese. Mr. Matarese has served as a Police Officer, Deputy Sheriff, Public Safety Officer (fire/police), Director of Public Safety, Chief of Police, City Manager and the Commissioner of Human Resources. He has worked in ICMA’s Center for Public Safety Management since 2007. He has indicated that he would be pleased to assist the Committee.

Bios for both men follow. Staff recommends offering the service of both experts to the Committee.

ITEMS NEEDING COUNCIL DIRECTION

1. Animal Shelter The Routt County Humane Society (RCHS) and City Staff are close to completing the transition of operational

responsibility of the City of Steamboat Springs Animal Shelter from the City to RCHS. Several details are still being worked out in the management agreement, but we are still aiming for an early May transition to RCHS. This transition will result in the City maintaining responsibility for the building and the mechanical systems while RCHS will maintain the property and be responsible fo rthe interior/exterior areas associated with their operations. When RCHS commences operation of the shelter and for as long as they operate it, they wish to rename it the Routt County Humane Society Animal Shelter. Does this meet with Council’s approval?

8. Shuttle Loading/Unloading Captain Jerry Stabile and Chief Joel Rae met with Larry Mashaw and representatives from numerous

resorts to discuss Yampa Street shuttle concerns. They skillfully worked to resolve some of the issues by adding three shuttle drop-off/pick-up points:

o The loading/Unloading Zone on the South Side of Yampa at 7th St. o The lower parking lot at the Police Station. o The City lot between Backdoor Sports and the Search and Rescue Building.

9. City Website The City web site received 12,522 views last month with the most frequently used search word being: “bus”

followed closely by “transit” and then “bus schedule”.

10. Street/Sidewalk Cleaning You have probably seen a busy Streets division out cleaning the Lincoln Avenue sidewalks this past week.

They are using non-potable water and cleaning in advance of the upcoming Sidewalk Sale scheduled for March 20-22. This year’s operations will be a little different. They will be testing a new Inlet Protection Filter in the catch basins. Instead of cleaning debris from the catch basins, this filter will catch all the debris as well as any sediment flowing to the stormwater system. Then the filters and the sediment caught in them will be removed and disposed. If successful, we will look at expanding the use of these filters across the City.

11. Airport Manager Chris Cole’s last day is Friday, March 27. Chuck Anderson will lead a team of City and Aviation enthusiasts

in the hiring of Chris’ replacement.
