Ite: Resolution No.. 03-45 -A Resolution Repealing Resolution No. 91-18, Series of
1991, and Ending the Incentive Program for the Conversion of Solid Fuel Burning Devices
to Certified Solid Fuel Devices, Gas Log Fireplaces and Gas Appliances in the Town of
Avon, Eagle County, Colorado.
Summary: This Resolution has been prepared in response to the capital
improvements program prioritization process and corresponding removal of funding 'for the
incentive program for the conversion of solid fuel burning devices to certified solid fuel
devices, , gas log fireplaces and gas appliances. This program was initiated, and funding
guidelines established by attached Town of Avon, Resolution No. 91-18.. This - Resolution
stated, "that each and every, hotel room and dwelling unit within the Town of Avon shall be
eligible for reimbursement of costs of an amount up to 50% of the actual cost, not to exceed,
$750.00, for the conversion of any, existing solid fuel burning device, to any certified solid fuel
burning device, gas log fireplace or gas appliance." The current draft of the Capital Projects 5-
Year Plan does not include funding for this Program. Past budgets have included $6,000 for
this Program, but utilization has dropped off significantly in the past year and it subsequently
received a very low priority rating in developing the current Capital Improvements Program.
Actual expenditures for this Program have been:
2001 3 Units $2,250
2002 7 Units $5,250
2003 3 Units $2,250
Resolution No. 03-45, Series of 2003, repeals Resolution No. 91-18, ending the program for
conversion of solid fuel burning devices. We recommend approval of this Resolution based
on the deletion of funds for the Program from the Capital Projects Budget and Capital Projects
5-Year Plan.
