MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
HELD AUGUST 10, 1993 - 7:30 P.M.
The regular meeting of the Avon Town Council of the Town of Avon,
Colorado was held in the municipal Building, 400 Benchmark Road,
Avon, Colorado, in the'Council Chambers.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Albert J. Reynolds at
7:49PM. A roll call was taken with Councilors Jack Fawcett, John
Hazard, Tom Hines, Celeste C. Nottingham,'Jim Roof, and Judy
Yoder present. Also present were Town Manager Bill'James, Town
Attorney John Dunn, Engineer Norm,Wood, Director of Community
Development Steve Amsbaugh, Building Inspector Joe McGrath, Police
Chief Art Dalton, Fire Chief Charlie Moore, Town Clerk Patty
Neyhart, as well as members of the press and public.
First item under Citizen Input was a Land Request from the
Library.
Ms. Charlyn Canada, Director of the Eagle Valley Library
District, stated the District is a newly formed, tax supported
district charged with providing library service to this area. It
is our goal to use almost 1/2 the revenues generated from the tax
base this area provides to build libraries:in the towns of Avon
and Eagle. We will go to the voters again this year to ask
permission to.go into debt to construct these. Ms. Canada is
here this evening to-ask Council to provide a site, for building a
new Avon public library, at little or no,cost to the District..
Ms. Canada assured Council that the citizens are agreeable to
this concept. The site the District is specifically interested in
is that indicated on the Peter Jamar.plan created for.the.Town for
the joint use of an aquatic center and a recreation center-and a
library building. Our present space'is inadequate to offer a full
program. We have been cautioned that,-when the lease runs out
with City Market 'in three years, we will most likely have to
relocate. Therefore, time'is of the essence to get ,a new library
planned. Presently,~the District is keeping the cost of
operations contained, in order to build new libraries. However,
when these libraries open, increases in staff, books, utilities,.
and maintenance line items will need to be made. Our plan is to
build the maximum recommended floor areas for the populations we
would serve'in Avon and Eagle, taking into consideration projected
growth. For Avon, this would mean a 20,000 square foot building,
with almost a 12,000 square foot footprint on a site; it'would
definitely be two story. Within that plan, we:want to include at
least,1,000.square feet of meeting room space. Our"budget will
allow us to complete only 3/4 of the interior space, at the time
of building, construction, both for the building-.in Avon and the
building in Eagle. . So, additional expenses that we would incur
for a sight and improving those sights would further reduce the.
amount of floor area that we could finish, as.well as the amount
of library books and computers, etc. In the last five years the
Eagle Valley Library circulation of materials have increased from
62,000 items to 109,000 annually; an increase of 175%. Library
visits have increased from over 52,000 to over 66;000; an increase
of 125%. In Avon, the number of people with current library cards
have grown from 500 in 1987 to over 4,000 in 1993; an increase, of
800%. At this time'the Eagle Valley Library.District does not
meet the minimum guidelines for library services recommended by
the State of Colorado.

We currently have 1/2 the recommended staff, 1/2 the recommended
collection, and 1/3 of the recommended space required to serve our
population. As a library district, serving the public is our
priority. And, whatever money is not tied up in building greatly
needed libraries, we wish to use to fund other needs of developing
collections and offering additional services. We think that an
attractive, well stocked library is a great asset to a community
for residents and guests. We are asking all communities to come
forth in support of the Library District's missions by offering
space in which we can create and staff libraries or sites on which
the District will build and maintain library facilities. This
concept is not without precedent. Without a district, towns need
to provide the whole library package;-land, buildings, staff, and
collections. This is the case with Vail, which made a prime and
rare-setting on Gore Creek between the Village and Lionshead, the
location of their award winning library. We are not asking
anything of Avon that we are not expecting of other communities in
our District. I agree with you, that it is up to the people of
Avon to come forth with a commitment to support the library, it
being permanently established in their Town and on their public
lands. Ms. Canada presented two petitions; one with 213
signatures of residences from Avon and other areas but all paying
Avon sales-tax and the other one with 79 signatures of Avon
residents and property owners. (See attached petitions). All
signatures represent support of the Town of Avon providing land
for the new Avon library. Ms. Canada requested Council's
opinions and input.
Councilor Roof stated he is willing to dive land to the library
district. Councilor Roof expressed hesitations doing it right
now. We are working very hard to get a community.center, which is
Council's top priority and you are asking us to give a specific
piece of land that could interfere with this recreation center. I
don't think we should push the library in front of the rec center
right now.
Councilor Fawcett stated obviously the library is something,like
mom, the_ American flag; and apple pie; we-all' want a library. The
residents of Avon would like to see this library in Avon and it
would be a great asset for the Town. My primary problem is
Amendment 1. That states our voters want fiscal responsibility
from their elected'-officials. That means-when we go.to borrow
money or when we go to raise taxes we must go back to - our -
constituents and ask them if we can do that; they have a "voice.
If we were to give a piece of property to the library without
asking our constituents . let's 'say .this, property is worth
$500,000 . its like saying to the voters we - are taking
$500,00 out of--your,pocket and makinga donation to a ,particular
entity. I do not have any problems with donating the land to the
library in the Town of Avon. I am not certain that the land gift
is appropriate right where we have planned the aquatic center and
the expanded rec center at some later date. -I at not sure we have
sufficient land,to do all of it. And, we do know from our past
polls that the top priority is still the aquatic recreation
center. If we acquired or had access to other land in town,-that
might be more suitable. But, before we can give any land-to the
library, it might behoove us to put this question on the ballot as
to whether we can make a donation; whether the Town of Avon voters
are willing to give up say $500,000 for the library. They may
very well say yes.

Councilor Fawcett questioned which communities will use this
library and which have expressed interest in making some donation.
Ms. Canada stated we are asking Eagle to donate land, Minturn
provides space for the library in the community center, McCoy
provides space in the former school, and Redcliff. They are
providing the facility for the Library District to provide library
services. we are asking of Avon and Eagle to provide sites.
Councilor Fawcett questioned what are they asking of Eagle-Vail,
Beaver Creek Metro District, Arrowhead Metro District, and
Edwards. Ms. Canada stated they are tax payers that are
supporting the District that will build this building. Councilor
Fawcett stated so are those in Avon; so Avon gets hit twice. Ms.
Canada stated no, they are not getting hit extra because the land
is owned by the Town for their best use. Councilor Fawcett stated
so the taxpayers in Avon are giving away something that Eagle-Vail
is not and Beaver Creek Metro is not, etc. Ms. Canada stated
Avon residents get the most convenience of having the library
closest to them. Avon is a geographically centrally located
place. Councilor Fawcett agreed Avon is the perfect location; on
the other hand, if these other areas wanted to make a
contribution, which would be to the Library District in part, for
payment of the land and Avon donated the balance, this might be
much more palatable to our constituents. Councilor Fawcett stated
you did mention your request for Avon to donate the land or
provide it at low cost. Councilor Fawcett questioned what is
meant by low cost. Ms. Canada stated out of the 40 library
districts in the State of Colorado not one has had to pay fair
market value or even a substantial sum to any other government
entity, town or county, for library space. Some of those even
contracted with the districts to get service in their town. Some
were paying $1.00 yearly lease, one was paying $10.00 yearly and
one was paying $45.00 monthly. One included the Town grooming the
lawn, removing snow and paying utilities.
Councilor Fawcett reiterated he is all for the library in Avon; no
objection to the donation; a little concerned about the area that
you want and again suggested putting it on the ballot and letting
the voters decide. Ms. Canada stated her understanding was that
this was not an Amendment 1 issue; it doesn't need to go before
the voters. Councilor Fawcett questioned if Ms. Canada had any
objections to the Avon voters deciding this issue. Ms. Canada
stated she has no problem with that.
Councilor Nottingham stated we should welcome the Library District
with this multi-million dollar building. I feel it is untrue that
the rec center is a priority and thus a competition; they can be
done harmoniously. Peter Jamar has done a site study with the 5
1/2 acres and it looks as if the library and the completed rec
center can be facilitated on this acreage. Regarding the value of
this property, it is public property thus limited public uses.
Since it can not be sold, it has no market value. Currently we
pay approximately $26,000 yearly in lease and utilities to have
the lirary in Avon; we have made that commitment for five years.
There is public support for the library and Councilor Nottingham
supports donating the land to the library.
Mayor Reynolds informed Mr. Frank Doll called

Mayor Reynolds stated this is a must; something

Councilor Hines informed he has heard nothing negative and that he
is a proponent of the library. Councilor Hines questioned what
offer to contribute; what amount to contribute. Ms. Canada
stated they do not in anyway want to deter the development of the
recreation center. Ms. Canada added whatever we would contribute
toward the site or development of the site would reduce what we
can finish in the library in terms of interior square footage and
collection development. Say we contribute $100,000; we could
probably do that, but it would also cost 5,000 books.
Councilor Hines questioned the 1,000 square feet of community use;
is that short term or long term. Ms. Canada stated that is
perpetual. A community room is part and parcel of any new
library; the library itself offers programs that necessitates a
meeting room.
Councilor Hines added he would feel a little more comfortable if
the library would donate in some way shape or form.
Councilor Hazard reminded Council that a few months ago education
was a major concern; a library is an extension of education.
Councilor Hazard stated he is a definite proponent in giving the
land for free to the library.
Councilor Yoder stated it would be an honor and a privilege to
donate the land to the library. The District requests that the
architect planning the aquatic center / rec center work with the
architect planning the library to make certain they are all
planned in the highest and best use for the Town and for each
other. Councilor Yoder stated she strongly supports the Town
providing, at no charge, this location for the library.
Councilor Roof stated the Town should work towards getting a
library. Councilor Roof questioned what happens if the voters
turn down the recreation center questions on the ballot this
November; do we have a library by itself. Councilor Roof stated
let's get the rec center in place and then accommodate the
library. Councilor Roof felt pressured to give not only land, but
this specific land. Councilor Roof questioned this land having no
value.
Attorney Dunn stated the question was in terms of the property
being part of Nottingham park. I believe that park land which is
set aside by government action and is not usable for any private
purpose, for that reason it has no value. Now, granted it has
inherent values. But, I am talking about legal values. Certainly
under the subdivision improvements agreement with the County, the
property could not be sold to a private entity and used for a
private purpose to produce income. The Town would have the power
to transfer to or make the property available for use as a library
because that is another public use.
Councilor Roof stated this is prime land and we are limited as to
the land the Town has. Ms. Canada stated she feels a little
pressure to let the voters know in November where their library
would be. At the same time the reason this location is prime to
the library is the relation to the aquatic / recreation center and
the scenic value. Ms. Canada exampled the Vail library as such a
scenic site but a pain to get to. Councilor Roof stated we
haven't gotten what we want out of that property yet and we are
being asked before we get those things to start giving it away.
-4-
Ms. Canada stated the library issue may fail, just as the aquatic
and recreation center may, and we could wait six to ten years to'
build a library and have to move out of Avon. If that is the
case, the District would still like to have a parcel set aside.
Avon is the District's first choice; we would like to be in on the_
planning for this site with the recreation and'aquatic'center and'
hot at the expense of it. We want you to have the total picture
that you are envisioning for the recreation center and we hope a
library will fit in as well.
Mayor Reynolds called for citizen input on this issue.
Ms. Mindy Feldman, an Avon business owner, home owner-and mother
of three, stated she visits the library 'frequently. Ms. Feldman
expressed support for the recreation center and of the Town
donating the land to the library.
Mr. Doug Cross, Avon home owner, stated the Vail library is an
inconvenience. He is in favor of the meeting space planned in the
library. Mr.' Cross stated he is in favor of the'library.
Mr. Allan Nottingham, resident of the. Town of Avon, feels this
land proposed for the recreation center and library is the proper
spot; centrally located. Mr. Nottingham stated this land was
given to the town for public purpose and at no cost. A public
library is as important a public purpose as any recreation thing
that we are providing. Mr. Nottingham added the recreation
center and library should be planned simultaneously, perhaps a
joint structure to save architectural fees. Mr. Nottingham
stated the Town should donate the land for the library and*he
would like to see this put in a motion tonight and pass.
Ms. Lorraine Mall Haslee, Avon Branch Manager, gave an update on'
the activities and programs at the library.
Mr. Stan Bernstein, financial advisor for the library through
this bond process, reviewed the District's financing plan. Mr.
Bernstein informed the District plans, under the phase program, to
construct a 20,000 square foot building, but only initially,-
completing 15,000 square feet with final completion at a later
date. Construction cost for the 'hase rogram for Avon is
estimated at $2.6,-million, including 10t contingency. The full
Avon program is estimated at $3 million. Construction cost for
the phase program for Eagle is estimated at $2 million, including
10% contingency. The full Eagle program is estimated at $2.4
million. Expansion and renovation for other libraries is
estimated at $130,000. Additional costs are bond costs at
$200,000, debt service reserve fund at $455,000. Total funds
required $5,459,450. Voters will be asked to approve $6 million
of bonds and $5,090,000 will be issued in bonds. That remaining
authorization of $1 million will be used for completion of the
libraries.
Mr. James requested clarification from Council.'s'direction-
approximately a month ago. Mr. James was directed -to go and talk
to the Library District to see if there was an opportunity to pay
for some of the impact fees or to be able to recover some-of the
costs that are going to take place with locating the library next
to the community center. The idea discussed was, is it possible
for the Library-District to come up with $250,000 -to help pay for
some of the things.. And, one-of the ideas was to be able to
purchase a lot on West Beaver Creek Blvd. to relieve parking
problems or congestion.

The question was, is it possible for the Library District to give
the Town of Avon $250,000 so that we all end up with a better
product both for the library, park, and community center. If it
is not possible, then Council was to make a decision whether to
forget any type of impact fees and absorb those costs. Councilors
Roof and Fawcett stated this was their understanding.
Mr. Bernstein stated it is difficult to say what the library can
afford as it is based on growth projections. Financial planning
is based on assessed valuation increasing an average of 3%
annually. Mr. Bernstein stated at this point the $5,090,000 is
the limit.
Councilor Fawcett noted basically, in terms of paying for related
impact costs that may occur to the Town of Avon, there may not be
funds available now. But, if we see an increase of 6%-10% in
assessed valuation, there might be funds available to reimburse
the Town or to make additional improvements at a later date,
assuming the Library District was agreeable. Mr. Bernstein
stated hypothetically that if he is $100,000 annually
conservative; all that would do is mean the library.could issue
the million dollars of bonds to complete the libraries. Mr.
Bernstein added we are limited to only 2.75 mills and the assessed
valuation would have to go up so much to generate $100,000.
Councilor Fawcett asked if the 1,000 square feet of meeting space
is planned in the first phase. Councilor Yoder stated yes, that
is a priority.
Councilor Nottingham motioned that the Town of Avon provide the
site for the new Avon Public Library at no charge to the Library
District. Councilor Hazard seconded the motion.
Councilor Fawcett felt this is being pushed way too fast.
Councilor Fawcett suggested tabling to discuss at a later time.
And, he would like the voters to have the opportunity to vote on
this issue as to the land donation. Councilor Fawcett added
personally he would vote for it; but as a responsible public
official he does not feel he can just donate the land.
Councilor Nottingham stated, with all the research and public
contact, she is for it and is very comfortable in making that
decision now. Councilor Nottingham reminded there is a motion on
the floor and called for the question.
Councilor Roof reiterated he is in favor of donating land however
the motion is too vague; the motion needs more information; where
the land is, how much land, etc.
With no further discussion, Mayor Reynolds called for a roll call
vote. Those Councilors in favor were John Hazard, Celeste C.
Nottingham, Judy Yoder. Those Councilors opposed were Jack
Fawcett, Tom Hines, and Jim Roof.
Councilor Fawcett questioned Councilor Yoder's vote with regards
to conflict of interest, of her being President of the Board,
during her vote. Councilor Yoder stated she had asked Attorney
Dunn's advice and it was decided no conflict of interest existed
due to lack of financial gain.
With a tie vote, Mayor Reynolds voted in favor. The motion
passed.

Councilor Fawcett requested the record to show he felt there was a
definite conflict in the past President of the Library Board who
is now on the Town Council not abstaining from the vote.

Councilor Fawcett questioned the perception of conflict issue.
Attorney Dunn read the Town Code of Ethics. And, he stated the
only one that may apply; perform any official act under
circumstances which give rise to appearance of impropriety on the
part of the officer. Attorney Dunn reminded of the procedure
established in the Code of Ethics; any member of Council who
believes another member of the Council has a conflict of interest
shall bring the matter to the attention of the Council prior to
Council's consideration of the issue involving the alleged
conflict. Council shall determine whether a conflict of interest
exists.
Councilor Fawcett questioned who would vote on the the issue of
conflict of interest of one of the Councilmembers. Attorney Dunn
concluded if the issue is the ability of the person's vote that
would disqualify that person from voting.
Attorney Dunn stated it has generally been his position, in
advising this Council, that membership on a nonprofit or other
governmental board does not give rise to a conflict of interest.
Attorney Dunn made reference to the Town of Minturn voting on the
Catholic Church.
Attorney Dunn added there is a procedure as outlined, although the
procedure seems to be invocable only before the vote.
Councilor Fawcett stated he is not insinuating that Councilor
Yoder has done anything unethical. Councilor Fawcett felt there
is a conflict under the one provision and questioned if Council
can vote on that provision after the vote. Councilor Fawcett
requested a vote on the conflict, then if there is none; a re-vote
on the issue. Councilor Fawcett stated he is sorry if Council
indicates we can not vote on the conflict because it is too late.
Mayor Reynolds reiterated the conflict issue needs to be taken up
before the vote. Attorney Dunn confirmed.
Councilor Fawcett stated he did raise the issue of conflict prior
to Councilor Yoder's vote.
Mayor Reynolds asked for Attorney Dunn's advise. Attorney Dunn
reviewed the Code of Ethics, assuming Councilor Fawcett raised the
issue prior to the vote. Attorney Dunn advised if you wish to
make a point of order, the Mayor could rule that the vote was out
of order because of the point of conflict of interest. Return to
that matter first; then return to the main motion. Mayor Reynolds
stated Councilor Fawcett brought this up at the time of the vote;
not prior to the vote. Attorney Dunn questioned, as the vote was
being polled. Mayor Reynolds stated yes. Councilor Fawcett
stated there is no doubt I brought it up at that time, because I
had no idea Judy (Councilor Yoder) was voting, so I had no reason
to bring it up.

Discussion centered on the motion; where the land is, how much
land. Too many people speaking at one time to transcribe.
Councilor Nottingham asked Attorney Dunn if the motion is too
vague and if we have no idea what piece of property is being
indicated. Attorney Dunn stated the motion, that has been
adopted, defines the future course of the Council's deliberations.
Unless, there is a motion to reconsider. Attorney Dunn stated
with this motion Council has decided to contribute the land.
Councilor Nottingham questioned what land. Attorney Dunn could
not answer that as he did not see the plans, etc.
Councilor Hines stated a vote was taken and suggested moving
forth. Often times we make decisions that are somewhat open ended
and we end up going through details after the fact. This is an
attempt to donate land to the library and at this point in time it
would be difficult to assign a footprint. The intent is the
library will receive land from the Town.
Councilor Hines added that in terms of the conflict, Councilor
Fawcett did take issue with it and it was passed over. According
to Councilor Fawcett he had no knowledge that Councilor Yoder was
going to vote on the issue; he understood she was going to
abstain. Councilor Hines continued, that in his mind, that was a
justified reason for Councilor Fawcett bringing up the concern
which was not addressed by the Council as a whole. Councilor
Hines questioned procedure.
Attorney Dunn stated the Mayor has ruled, based upon the advice
from the Town Attorney, that the point raised by Councilor Fawcett
was untimely; that it was not raised in sufficient time. That is
the ruling of the Mayor, who is the Chair, and that ruling may be
appealed, if someone wishes to make that motion, which is provided
for in Robert's Rules.
Councilor Fawcett questioned if he is now allowed to make a motion
of appeal and would Councilor Yoder be allowed to vote on this
appeal of the Mayor's decision. Attorney Dunn stated Councilor
Yoder would be allowed to vote on this appeal of the decision of
the Chair.
Discussion centered on what/where and how much property. Unable
to transcribe as too many speaking at one time.
Councilor Fawcett motioned that the property that the Town of Avon
has previously voted to give or donate to the Library District be
identified as one acre of land located in the center of the Town
of Avon adjacent to the Peregrine Building. Councilor Roof
seconded the motion.
Councilor Fawcett requested to disqualify Councilor Yoder from
voting on the issue because of the conflict inherent of her
sitting on the Library Board as well as the Town Council.
Councilor Hazard requested the motion be repeated. Town Clerk
Neyhart played the motion back from the tape recorder.
Councilor Nottingham stated the words adjacent and one acre
bothers her in the motion.
Councilor Roof requested to table Councilor Fawcett's motion to
discuss later.

Councilor Hines stated the motion was made; Council by consensus
determined to provide property for the library. Yes, that hasn't
been defined to the full extent, but we haven't defined the
recreation center yet either. We have discussed this as a hand in
hand proposition and made the decision to provide that property.
Councilor Yoder asked if she is allowed to vote on Councilor
Fawcett's motion. Councilor Fawcett stated that issue hasn't been
decided. Councilor Fawcett added that at some point we are going
to have to determine just exactly where and what this property is
by a motion and at that point Councilor Fawcett will raise the
issue of conflict again. And, rather than wave that particular
aspect of the conflict, Councilor Fawcett withdrew his motion.
Councilor Fawcett asked, if the bond issue for the recreation
center is defeated and the library bond issue passes, is it the
intent of the library to go ahead and commence construction. Ms.
Canada stated the intent would be to work with the Town, knowing
your intent and still planning as if the recreation center was a
done deal. Councilor Fawcett asked if the library would then put
in the infrastructure. Ms. Canada stated as best we could and
that would have to go through the planning system.
Mr. James stated Council has stated tonight they will work with
the library and donate land. A lot of issues still need to be
clarified between the Town and the Library District. We need to
go through a process with both of us planning together. Council
may decide the best location for the library is land where the
tennis courts need to be moved or the road realigned at which time
a decision will need to be made; who is going to pay for those
costs. There needs to be a process of mutual planning and some
type of an agreement. Ms. Canada agreed.
Next item under Citizen Input was a Transportation Update.
Ms. Teresa Albertson, Marketing Specialist with Avon Beaver Creek
Transit, informed she is making visits to all area Councils and
the County Commissioners to let them know what Avon Beaver Creek
Transit has been working on recently and how successful they have
been the last couple of years. Ms. Albertson displayed charts to
coincide with her presentation and distributed information sheets.
Ms. Albertson outlined each route for summer and winter.
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 93-6, Series of 1993, AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 3.08 (SALES TAX) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE
OF THE TOWN OF AVON TO EXEMPT THE TAXATION OF SALES BY CHARITABLE
INSTITUTIONS.
Mayor Reynolds stated this is a public hearing.
Attorney Dunn stated this Ordinance implements the direction of
Council a few meetings ago to exempt from the sales tax religion,
charitable, and eleemosynary institutions. The amendment to the
sales tax code is two fold. First of all, it deletes from
retailer religious and charitable organizations so that they are
no longer within the definition of retailer. And, secondly there
is added to the list of exempt taxpayers sales by or to religious,
charitable, or eleemosynary institutions in the conduct of their
regular religious, charitable and eleemosynary functions and
activities.
