gave approval of that site, with the condition that Heritage
Cablevision would not have any right to restrict development
on building in that area which might interfere with the
microwave signals. Mr. Wood stated that there was also a

The Town Manager reported on the use of the Council Chambers,
on September 11th, 1984, for the Primary Election. The
County Clerk's office had looked at the Log Cabin for a
possibility of using the Cabin for the primary election, but
decided that it was too small to handle the two precincts (4
& 15). Mr. James stated that, if the Council wanted to allow
that activity in the Chambers on a Council meeting day, the
Council would need to approve moving the meeting to
Wednesday, September 12th. After discussion, Clint Watkins
moved to change the Council meeting date from Tuesday,
September 11th, to Wednesday, September 12th. The motion was
seconded by Al Connell, and was unanimously carried.
Next on the agenda was a status report on Tract P. Mr. James
stated that Art Abplanalp was finalizing the sections in the
County Contract that needed to be amended to allow the
school district to deed over approximately 3 1/2 acres of
Tract P to the Town of Avon for use as recreational
facilities and a water treatment plant facility. The revised
contract would then be mailed out to all the interested
parties, and a meeting would be scheduled, the week of August
6th, to review and reach an Agreement on the Amendments. He
stated he hoped to present the Agreement to the Council for
approval on August 14th.
Mr. James stated that the street sweeping should be finished
in a couple of days. There was a delay, due to equipment
failure. The restriping on West Beaver Creek Blvd. should
start July 11th, and be finished by the end of the week. The
Log Cabin, park restrooms, and landscaping around the
Municipal building should be completed by July 31st.
The sprinkler failure was caused by rocks and pebbles edging
into the sprinkler system. This was caused by last fall's
construction of the lighting system around the park. Mr.
James also stated that the water pump went down and was being
replaced. The system should be operating by July 11th.
Mr. James reported on the weeds around Town. The cutting of
weeds was delayed, due to equipment failure. He stated they
would go ahead and move in another contractor tomorrow, if
needed. He stated that the State of Colorado was contacted
in regard to mowing their right-of ways. The State informed
Mr. James that they have started in Gypsum and were working
their way, up I-70, toward Avon.

The discussion of the Kiva Tennis Classic was next presented
to the Council. Mr. Chaz Coats approached the Council. He
stated that the tournament this year would generate 4 days
of tennis, 10 well-known tennis players, and should bring
8,000 people into the area. Mr. Coats stated that they need
Avon's support. Mr. Coats stated that $1,500 would buy a
Silver Box, which would seat four people; $2,500 would buy a
Gold Box, which would seat six people. He stated that the
Town's recognition would be a special appreciation ad in the
program. There would be an invitation to the Classic Party
at Eagles Nest, access to the Kiva Club, special parking
privileges, a special sign, on site, recognizing the name of
the box seat holder, and an individual sign on the box,
listing the Town of Avon. After discussion, Sheila Davis
moved approval to allocate $2,500 for the Kiva Tennis
Classic. The motion was seconded by A.J. Wells, and
unanimously carried.
The Town Manager reported on the Budget and the Five Year
Plan. He stated that there were several alternate approaches
to consider in regard to the progress of the budget and the
Five Year Plan. He stated that Council would have to define
and identify the direction in which the Town wants to go.
Mr. James reviewed the process with the Council in regard to
Budget, Public Improvements Program, and General Goals for
1984-1985. He also reviewed the time table and a number of
ways the Council could approach some of these areas (see
memorandum dated July 6, 1984, by Bill James). After
reviewing the memorandum, Mr. James suggested that Council
review the areas and determine which area would be suitable
for them, and possibly have input at the next Council
meeting. No action was taken.
The Mayor stated that there was one other item that should be
included into the Public Improvements Program, which was
additional parking for the park events.
The Financial matters were next presented to the Council.
