Mayor and Council CC: Bill Efting, Larry Brooks, Scott Wright RE: Barbara Andrews - Dickens Faire DATE: December 27, 2000 Based on my review of the discussions between Council and Barbara Andrews which took place on October 24 and 31, I have drafted a two count Complaint against Barbara Andrews Events, Inc., which seeks a judgment in the amount of $20,000. Count I alleges that a contract was created: in consideration of the Town's $20,000 sponsorship Andrews's company obliged itself to produce the event and provide the Town with the benefits of sponsorship outlined in the promotional literature (which basically amounts to designation as a sponsor). Count II alleges that the court should impose a constructive trust over $20,000 in the hands of Andrews's company in favor of the Town, on the ground that otherwise her company would be unjustly enriched at the expense of the Town. The Council must now decide as a body whether it wants suit to be filed against Andrews's company. A few observations are in order. Winning this suit is a long shot. The transcript of the discussions between Barbara Andrews and the Council reveal council members stating: "Personally, I'd like to see if there's some way we could donate some money"; "I would like to give some money too for the same reason"; and "Well, it looks like you've got a donation, we just don't know how much." These words are likely to compel a conclusion to a judge that Avon made a gift to Barbara Andrews Events, Inc. However, Barbara did make statements to the effect that the event would be produced; that she had Beaver Creeks permission; and that proceeds would go to charity. On that basis, I believe there is a good faith basis to make the claims made in the draft Complaint. As you are no doubt aware, no lawyer can file a lawsuit unless there is a good faith basis for the claims made. So, I would ask that you review the transcript of the discussions Barbara had with the Council. Evaluate whether as a body the money was given as a gift or pursuant to contract; or whether the Town would be unjustly deprived of the money if it is not returned. Then, as a body, decide whether you want me to file the suit. As I indicated previously, even if the Town wins a lawsuit against Barbara's company, we can only collect on the judgment if there is money available to satisfy the judgment. That is getting ahead of ourselves now, but there is a realistic chance that we could win a judgment we can never collect. Which brings me to the last point. At present I do not have any reason to sue her individually. Her literature and invoice were in the corporate name. Although there may be a basis to attempt to pierce the corporate veil based on information which could come to light in discovery if a suit were filed, there is not sufficient evidence at hand now to include Barbara Andrews as a defendant in her individual capacity. I would suggest this matter be taken up by the Council at the next work session, Jan. 9th It can be discussed in executive session under the heading of "Determining positions relative to matters that may be the subject of negotiation; developing strategy for negotiation; and instructing negotiators. C.R.S. § 24-6-402(4)(e). I will be out of the office on vacation Jan. 9th, otherwise another basis for going into executive session to discuss this matter would have been "Conferences with an attorney for the local public body for the purposes of receiving legal advice on specific legal questions." Id. § 24-6- 402(4)(b). Or, if you prefer, we can discuss the matter during the Jan. 23rd meeting, which I will be present for. A copy of the transcript of the discussions which were had with the Council is being emailed to you with a copy of the draft Complaint. 2 DISTRICT COURT, COUNTY OF EAGLE, COLORADO Case No. COMPLAINT TOWN OF AVON P.O. Box 975 Avon, CO 81620 Plaintiff V. BARBARA ANDREWS EVENTS, INC. P.O. Box 1554 Avon, CO 81620 Defendant Town of Avon, Plaintiff, by its attorney, Burton H. Levin, files this Complaint against Barbara Andrews Events, Inc., Defendant, and states as follows: 1. Plaintiff is a Colorado home rule municipal corporation located within Eagle County, Colorado. 2. Defendant is a corporation doing business in Eagle County, Colorado. 3. On October 24, 2000, Defendant, through its authorized agent Barbara Andrews (hereinafter "Andrews"), approached the Town of Avon Council and requested Plaintiff be a funding sponsor for the First Annual Beaver Creek Charles Dickens Holiday Faire 2000. 4. On October 24, 2000, Andrews, who is the Chief Executive Officer of Defendant, represented to Plaintiff that Defendant had been given permission by the Beaver Creek Resort Company to produce on December 21 St' 22"d, and 23", 2000, a holiday production within the Beaver Creek Resort. 5. On October 24, 2000, Andrews, on behalf of Defendant, further represented to Plaintiff that the holiday event would consist, in the words of Defendant's promotional literature, of the following: "The entire Beaver Creek Plaza will be transformed into Dickension & Victorian England; circa 1800's with specific emphasis on 1880-1906. Authentic to the period will be: All Sets and props, Vendor & Food Booths, Food & Beverage Menus (with 20th Century `Poetic License'), Decor, Character Actors, Costumes and Entertainment." 6. On October 24, 2000, Andrews, on behalf of Defendant, further represented to Plaintiff, that all proceeds from the holiday event would be given by Defendant to literacy programs in Eagle County or other similar charitable causes. 7. On October 24, 2000, Plaintiff invited Defendant to return on October 31, 2000, to discuss the matter of the holiday production during a work session of Plaintiff's Town Council. 8. On October 31, 2000, Andrews, on behalf of Defendant, appeared before the Avon Town Council and requested Plaintiff to agree to become a sponsor for the holiday production. 9. Specifically, on October 31, 2000, Andrews, on behalf of Defendant, presented Plaintiff with promotional literature concerning the holiday production, which stated that in consideration of sponsorship of the production in the amount of $20,000 Plaintiff would receive, among other things, the following: * designation as one of the Official Product Sponsors of the holiday production; * designation as a sponsor in local, Aspen and Denver newspapers and magazines; * designation as a sponsor in radio and TV promotions; * designation as a sponsor in all event programs; * designation as a sponsor in all event banners; * designation as a sponsor during an award ceremony to be televised and radio broadcast; * meal tickets; * the possibility of lodging facilities during the holiday production; * the possibility of a promotional extension program to be developed and implemented as mutually agreed upon by Plaintiff and Defendant. 10. On October 31, 2000, Plaintiff agreed to contract with Defendant as solicited by Defendant, with the terms of the contract to be as stated above: Plaintiff would sponsor the holiday production to the extent of $20,000, and, in consideration of such sponsorship, Plaintiff would receive from Defendant the sponsorship privileges and benefits stated above in paragraph 9 hereof in connection with the holiday production to be staged by Defendant on December 21St through 23`d, 2000. 11. The terms of the contract between Plaintiff and Defendant are stated, among other places, in the above referred to promotional literature which Defendant presented to Plaintiff, a copy of which is incorporated herein and attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 12. On or about November 1, 2000, pursuant to the contract between the parties, Defendant presented Plaintiff with a "Bronze Sponsorship Invoice" in the amount of $20,000. (A copy of said invoice is incorporated herein and attached hereto as Exhibit 2.) 13. On or about November 3, 2000, Plaintiff delivered to Defendant a check in the amount of $20,000 (as evidenced by Exhibit 3 attached hereto and incorporated herein). 14. Defendant negotiated Plaintiff's $20,000 check. 15. Defendant never obtained permission from Beaver Creek Resort Company to produce the Dickens Holiday Faire, and no such fair was produced at any time in 2000 (nor has an event as described by Defendant been produced as of the date hereof). 16. Plaintiff has made a demand that Defendant restore to it $20,000, and Defendant has refused such demand. COUNT I - BREACH OF CONTRACT 17. Paragraphs 1 - 16 hereof are incorporated by reference. 18. In accepting Plaintiff's sponsorship money in the amount of $20,000, and subsequently failing to produce the holiday production, including failing to provide to Plaintiff the contracted for benefits of sponsorship, Defendant breached its contract with Plaintiff. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands that a judgment be entered in its favor against Defendant in the amount of $20,000. COUNT II - CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST 19. Paragraphs 1 - 18 hereof are incorporated by reference. 20. Plaintiff was induced to present Defendant with a check in the amount of $20,000 based on the following representations to Plaintiff by Defendant: * that Beaver Creek Resort Company had in fact given it permission to stage the holiday production in Beaver Creek December 21 - 23, 2000; * that Defendant would in fact produce the event; * that Plaintiff would in fact receive the benefits of sponsorship as stated in Defendant's promotional literature; *that proceeds from the production would in fact be given to charitable literacy projects in Eagle County, Colorado. 21. In view of Defendant's failure to produce the holiday event, including its failure to provide proceeds of the event to charity, Defendant would be unjustly enriched if allowed to retain the $20,000 which Plaintiff provided to Defendant based on Defendant's unfulfilled representations and promises. 22. In order to prevent an unjust enrichment of Defendant, a constructive trust, in the amount of $20,000, should be imposed against Defendant in favor of Plaintiff. 4 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands that a constructive trust, in the amount of $20,000, be imposed against Defendant in favor of Plaintiff. Respectfully submitted. Burton H. Levin # 027056 Town Attorney P.O. Box 975 Avon, CO 81620 970-748-4087 Memo Date: January 16, 2001 To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council Thru: Bill Efting, Town Manager From: Michael Matzko, Director of Community Development Re: Town Center Plan Overview Introduction This memo is to follow up on our discussion during the November 28, 2000 work session regarding the Town Center planning process. During that work session Council and Staff briefly discussed the planning process undertaken last year by the Town Center property owners, which resulted in a preliminary Town Center Plan prepared by RNL on March 6, 2000. Staff recommended that if Council wishes to develop a formal Town Center Plan (at the Town's expense), it would involve public participation and likely require the services of planning, design and other consultants. The Town Council then directed Staff to prepare a general overview of the process, costs and timeline to formally prepare and adopt a Town Center Plan. The overview includes the following elements: • Purpose of a Town Center Plan • Process for Creating a Plan • Timeline • Costs Discussion The 1996 Avon Comprehensive Plan defines the Town Center as the area bounded on the east by Avon Road, on the north by I-70, on the west by Benchmark Road and on the south by the railroad right-of-way. In 1998 the Town Center was effectively extended south of the railroad with the approval of urban development standards for the Confluence site. The Comprehensive Plan has not been updated to reflect this, however. Purpose of a Town Center Plan The Comprehensive Plan is the fundamental policy document adopted by Town Council. Its purpose is to provide overall direction regarding land use, property development (both public and private), economic development, and the Town's interaction with the community. The Comprehensive Plan includes significant direction (goals and policies) regarding the desired character and functioning of the Town Center. A Town Center Plan is an effective way to translate the Comprehensive Plan's general direction into a much more specific working document that clearly articulates the community's vision. Through a combination of text and graphics, this document would serve as a framework to communicate to property owners, investors, business owners and others the Town's expectations for development. The practical benefit of such a document is arguably greater now than ever, given the imminent need to tie together the costly and complex elements of transportation, hot beds, pedestrian access, and building a critical mass of retail and commercial in the Town Center. The Plan, along with revised zoning and subdivision regulations, would form the basis for evaluating development applications and public infrastructure. It would help leverage private and public development with the efficiencies of coordinated infrastructure, transportation, communication and architectural design. The ultimate purpose of having a Town Center Plan is to guide development so as help to create an economically vital and sustainable Town Center. Process for Creating a Plan Creating and implementing a Town Center Plan will involve the joint efforts of Council, P&Z, staff, business and property owners and the public. Likely it will also involve one or more consultants to help coordinate the process, facilitate meetings, perform various analyses and produce draft and final versions of the Plan. Since the Plan would be adopted as a formal Town policy document, its creation would be funded by the Town. The general steps in creating a plan are as follows: Consultant Selection • Prepare and issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for consulting services. • Interview short list and select a consultant. Town Center Plan Preparation • Assess the Town Center as it is today: existing and approved development projects; infrastructure (such as roads, pedestrian facilities, utilities, transit, and parking); and existing regulations (such as design, zoning and subdivision). • Establish goals and objectives for the plan, which is a statement of what the plan is to include and accomplish, rather than what the end product will say about a given topic. This could also include implementation goals and milestones. • Gather public and stakeholder input through on-site workshops, information displays, public meetings, mailings, surveys, etc. • Prepare draft(s) and final version of the Plan for review and comment by Council, P&Z, staff and the public. Adoption • Adopt the Plan. • Update regulations such as zoning, subdivision and/or design guidelines. • Update Capital Improvements Program to incorporate public improvements. Timeline A draft plan could be completed between August 1 and September 15, 2001, with the final version completed and adopted between August 30 and October 1, 2001. Regulation updates may take an additional 30 to 60 days. The Capital Improvements Program update would occur as part of the normal budget cycle. Costs An initial estimate of consulting fees for preparing a Town Center Plan is approximately $70,000, which would include definition of public and private actions necessary to implement the Plan. Updating the Town's existing regulations to implement the plan could be incorporated in a much-needed general update of our regulations, and therefore should result in little or no additional cost. Implementation Following adoption of the Plan, the Town would engage in the engineering design phase of infrastructure improvements. This phase would require additional time and funding to complete, and is not included in this proposal. Physical implementation of the Town Center Plan would occur over a period of years and involve both public and private expenditures. Public Improvements would be constructed according to the Public Improvements Plan, and assigned priority through the Capital Improvements Program. Combined improvements, such as a public parking structure, in-town transit system (including a Cable Liner) may be financed through existing or new Metropolitan District(s). Conclusion The opportunities for developing a vibrant, economically sustainable Town Center have never been greater. The public and private investments contemplated in the Town Center during the next few years are enormous. A Town Center Plan or its equivalent is a way to effectively leverage those investments and help maintain Avon's growth as the heart of the valley.

Section 11-57-204 of the Supplemental Act provides that a public entity, including the District, may elect in an act of issuance to apply all or any of the provisions of the Supplemental Act. The Board hereby elects to apply all of the Supplemental Act to the Bonds and the Registered Coupons. Section 5. Bond Details. A. The Bonds shall be issued in fully registered form (i.e., registered as to payment of both principal and interest) initially registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for DTC, as Depository for the Bonds. The Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof (provided that no Bond may be in a denomination which exceeds the principal coming due on any maturity date and no individual bond will be issued for more than one maturity). The Bonds shall be dated as of February 1, 2001. The Bonds and Registered Coupons shall be numbered in the manner determined by the Registrar. The Bonds shall mature, bear "A" and "B" interest from their dated date to maturity, and be sold, as provided in the Sale Certificate; provided that: i) the final maturity of the Bonds shall not be later than November 1, 2010; ii) the interest rate on the Bonds (including both "A" and "B" interest) shall not exceed 7%; iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds shall not exceed $3,705,000; and iv) the purchase price of the Bonds shall not be less than 98%. Interest on the Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, payable semiannually on each May 1 and November 1, commencing May 1, 2001. B. The principal of any Bond and the interest evidenced by any Registered Coupon shall be payable to the Registered Owner thereof as shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar upon maturity or prior redemption of the Bonds thereof or upon the due date of the Registered Coupons and upon presentation and surrender at the Principal Office. If any Bond shall not be paid upon such presentation and surrender at maturity, it shall continue to draw interest at the rate borne by said Bond until the principal thereof is paid in full. Payment of interest (excluding -8- interest represented by Registered Coupons) on any Bond shall be made to the Registered Owner thereof by check or draft mailed by the Paying Agent on or before each interest payment date (or, if such interest payment date is not a business day, on or before the next succeeding business day), to the Registered Owner thereof at his or her address as it last appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar on the Record Date; but any such interest not so timely paid or duly provided for shall cease to be payable to the person who is the Registered Owner thereof on the Record Date and shall be payable to the person who is the Registered Owner thereof at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of any such defaulted interest. Such Special Record Date and the date fixed for payment of such defaulted interest shall be fixed by the Registrar whenever moneys become available for payment of the defaulted interest, and notice of the Special Record Date shall be given to the Registered Owners not less than ten days prior to the Special Record Date by first-class mail to each such Registered Owner as shown on the Registrar's registration books on a date selected by the Registrar, stating the date of the Special Record Date and the date fixed for the payment of such defaulted interest. The Paying Agent may make payments of interest on any Bond (excluding interest represented by the Registered Coupons) by such alternative means as may be mutually agreed to between the Registered Owner of such Bond and the Paying Agent (provided, however, that the District shall not be required to make funds available to the Paying Agent prior to the dates specified in the Registrar Agreement). All such payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America, without deduction for services of the Registrar or Paying Agent. Section 6. Registered Coupons. At the time of initial delivery of the Bonds to the Underwriter, the Bonds shall be accompanied by Registered Coupons evidencing additional interest on the Bonds. The Registered Coupons shall be in fully registered form (i.e., registered as to payment of the supplemental interest) provided that no Registered Coupon shall be issued for more than one due date. The Registered Coupons shall be dated as of the date of delivery of the Bonds. The Registered Coupons shall be numbered in such manner as the Registrar shall determine. Each Registered Coupon shall entitle the registered owner thereof to receive payment of a portion of the interest payable with respect to the Bonds as described in Section 5 hereof. The Registered Coupons may be owned, transferred and presented for payment separately from the Bonds. References in this resolution to the Bonds shall be deemed to include the Registered Coupons where -9- the context so requires. Except as specifically provided herein or in the Registered Coupons, no provision of this resolution relating to the Bonds shall be deemed to affect the rights of the owners of Registered Coupons to receive payments as provided in Section 5 hereof. Section 7. Prior Redemption. A. The Bonds will not be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the District. B. The Term Bonds, if any, shall be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption at the times, in the amounts and at the prices provided in the Sale Certificate. On or before the thirtieth day prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Registrar shall proceed to call the Term Bonds (or any Term Bond or Term Bonds issued to replace such Term Bonds) for redemption from the sinking fund on the next November 1, and give notice of such call without other instruction or notice from the District. At its option, to be exercised on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each such sinking fund redemption date, the District may (a) deliver to the Registrar for cancellation Term Bonds subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date in an aggregate principal amount desired or (b) receive a credit in respect of its sinking fund redemption obligation for any Term Bonds of the maturity subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption on such date, which prior to said date have been redeemed (otherwise than through the operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Registrar and not theretofore applied as a credit against any sinking fund redemption obligation. Each Term Bond so delivered or previously redeemed will be credited by the Registrar at the principal amount thereof on the obligation of the District on such sinking fund redemption date and the principal amount of Term Bonds to be redeemed by operation of such sinking fund on such date will be accordingly reduced. The District will on or before the sixtieth day next preceding each sinking fund redemption date furnish the Registrar with its certificate indicating whether or not and to what extent the provisions of (a) and (b) of the preceding sentence are to be availed with respect to such sinking fund payment. Failure of the District to deliver such certificate shall not affect the Registrar's duty to give notice of sinking fund redemption as provided in this paragraph B. -10- C. In the case of Bonds of a denomination larger than $5,000, a portion of such Bond ($5,000 or any integral multiple thereof) may be redeemed, in which case the Registrar shall, without charge to the Owner of such Bond, authenticate and issue a replacement Bond or Bonds for the unredeemed portion thereof. D. Notice of mandatory sinking fund redemption by the District shall be given by the Paying Agent in the name of the District by sending a copy of such notice by first-class, postage prepaid mail, not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the redemption date to the Underwriter and to each Registered Owner of any Bond all or a portion of which is called for redemption at his address as it last appears on the registration books kept by the Registrar. Failure to give such notice by mailing to the Registered Owner of any Bond or to the Underwriter, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bonds. All official notices of redemption shall be dated and shall state: (1) CUSIP numbers of Bonds to be redeemed; (2) the redemption date; (3) the redemption price; (4) if less than all Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, the identification of the Bonds (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts and interest rate) to be redeemed; (5) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each such Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; and (6) the place where such Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the Principal Office or such other office as shall be designated by the Paying Agent. Prior to any redemption date, the District shall deposit with the Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of all the Bonds or portions of Bonds which are to be redeemed on that date. Official notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Bonds or portions of Bonds so to be redeemed shall, on the redemption date, become due and payable at the redemption -11- price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the District shall default in the payment of the redemption price) such Bonds or portions of Bonds shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of such Bonds for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bonds shall be paid by the Paying Agent at the redemption price. Installments of interest due on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable as herein provided for payment of interest. Upon surrender for partial redemption of any Bond, there shall be prepared for the Registered Owner a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity and interest rate in the amount of the unpaid principal. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall be canceled and destroyed by the Registrar and shall not be reissued. In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice may be given by the Paying Agent in order to comply with the requirements of any registered securities depository holding the Bonds but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, any notice of redemption may contain a statement that the redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying Agent of funds on or before the date fixed for redemption sufficient to pay the redemption price of the bonds so called for redemption, and that if such funds are not available, such redemption shall be canceled by written notice to the owners of the bonds called for redemption in the same manner as the original redemption notice was mailed. Section 8. Execution and Authentication. The Bonds shall be executed in the name of and on behalf of the District and signed by the manual or facsimile signature of the President, sealed with a manual or facsimile impression of the seal of the District and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the Secretary. The Registered Coupons accompanying the Bonds shall be executed in the name of and on behalf of the District by the manual or facsimile signatures of the President and Secretary and sealed with a manual or facsimile impression of the seal of the District. The Bonds and Registered Coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of the officers in office at the time of the signing thereof shall be the valid and binding obligations of the District (subject to the requirement of authentication by the Registrar as hereinafter provided) notwithstanding that before the delivery of the Bonds or the Registered Coupons, or before the -12- issuance of the Bonds or the Registered Coupons upon transfer or exchange, any or all of the persons whose facsimile signatures appear on the Bonds or the Registered Coupons shall have ceased to fill their respective offices. The President and Secretary may, by the execution of a signature certificate pertaining to the Bonds or the Registered Coupons, adopt as and for their respective signatures the facsimiles thereof appearing on the Bonds or the Registered Coupons. At the time of the execution of the signature certificate, the President and Secretary may each adopt as and for his or her facsimile signature the facsimile signature of his or her predecessor in office in the event that such facsimile signature appears upon any of the Bonds or the Registered Coupons. No Bond or Registered Coupon shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication, substantially in the form hereinafter provided, has been duly manually executed by the Registrar. The Registrar's certificate of authentication shall be deemed to have been duly executed by it if manually signed by an authorized officer or representative of the Registrar, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or representative sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds or the Registered Coupons issued hereunder. By authenticating any of the Bonds or Registered Coupons initially delivered pursuant to this resolution, the Registrar shall be deemed to have assented to the provisions of this Resolution. Section 9. Registration Transfer and Exchange of Bonds and Registered Coupons. A. Subject to Section 10 hereof, books for the registration and transfer of the Bonds and Registered Coupons shall be kept by the Registrar. Upon the surrender for transfer of any Bond or Registered Coupon at the Registrar, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Bond or Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity or a new Registered Coupon or Registered Coupons of a like aggregate amount and of the same due date, as the case may be, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. Bonds may be exchanged at the Registrar for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same maturity of other authorized denominations. Registered Coupons may be exchanged at the Principal Office for an equal aggregate amount of Registered Coupons as provided in Section 6 hereof and of the same due date. -13- The Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a Bond or Bonds or Registered Coupon or Registered Coupons which the Registered Owner making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. The Registrar may impose reasonable charges in connection with exchanges or transfers of Bonds or Registered Coupons, which charges (as well as any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer) shall be paid by the Owner of any Bond or Registered Coupon requesting such exchange or transfer. B. The Registrar shall not be required (1) to transfer or exchange all or a portion of any Bond subject to prior redemption during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days next preceding the mailing of notice calling any Bonds for prior redemption as herein provided or (2) to transfer or exchange all or a portion of a Bond after the mailing of notice calling such Bond or portion thereof for prior redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of Bonds being redeemed in part. C. The person in whose name any Bond or Registered Coupon shall be registered, on the registration books kept by the Registrar, shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of making payment thereof and for all other purposes except as may otherwise be provided with respect to payment of interest to the Owners of the Bonds as is provided in Section 5 hereof, and payment of or on account of either principal or interest on any Bond or Registered Coupon shall be made only to or upon the written order of the Registered Owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed upon transfer of such Bond or Registered Coupon in the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations provide herein. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to discharge the liability upon such Bond or Registered Coupon to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. D. If any Bond or Registered Coupon shall be lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, the Registrar shall, upon receipt of such evidence, information or indemnity relating thereto as it may reasonably require, authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond or Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and of the same maturity, or a replacement Registered Coupon or Registered Coupons, bearing a number or numbers not previously assigned. If such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Bond or Registered Coupon shall have matured or is about to become due and payable, -14- the Registrar may direct the Paying Agent to pay such Bond or Registered Coupon in lieu of replacement. E. The officers of the District are authorized to deliver to the Registrar fully executed but unauthenticated Bonds and Registered Coupons in such quantities as may be convenient to be held in custody by the Registrar pending use as herein provided. F. Whenever any Bond or Registered Coupon shall be surrendered to the Paying Agent upon payment thereof, or to the Registrar for transfer, exchange or replacement as provided herein, such Bond or Registered Coupon shall be promptly cancelled by the Paying Agent or Registrar, and counterparts of a certificate of such cancellation shall be furnished by the Paying Agent or Registrar to the District. Section 10. Book Entry. A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision ofthis resolution, the Bonds initially shall be evidenced by one Bond for each maturity in denominations equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of such maturity and the Registered Coupons initially shall be evidenced by one Registered Coupon for each payment date for which a Registered Coupon comes due. Such initially delivered Bonds and Registered Coupons shall be registered in the name of "Cede & Co." as nominee for DTC, the Depository for the Bonds and Registered Coupons. The Bonds and Registered Coupon may not thereafter be transferred or exchanged except: (1 j to any successor of DTC or its nominee, which successor must be both a "clearing corporation" as defined in Section 4-8-102(5), C.R.S. and a qualified and registered "clearing agency" under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (2) upon the resignation of DTC or a successor or new depository under clause (1) or this clause (2) of this paragraph A, or a determination by the Board that DTC or such successor or new Depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, and the designation by the Board of another Depository acceptable to the Board and to the Depository then holding the Bonds and Registered Coupons, which new Depository must be both a "clearing corporation" as defined in Section 4-8-102(5), C.R.S. and a qualified and registered "clearing agency" under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to carry out the functions of DTC or such successor new depository; or -15- (3) upon the resignation of DTC or a successor or new Depository under clause (1) or clause (2) of this paragraph A, or a determination of the Board that DTC or such successor or Depository is no longer able to carry out its functions, and the failure by the Board, after reasonable investigation, to locate another Depository under clause (2) to carry out such Depository functions. B. In the case of a transfer to a successor of DTC or its nominee as referred to in clause (1) of paragraph A hereof, upon receipt of the outstanding Bonds or Registered Coupons by the Registrar together with written instructions for transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, a new Bond for each maturity of the Bonds then outstanding and a new Registered Coupon for each payment date of the Registered Coupons then Outstanding shall be issued to such successor or new Depository, as the case may be, or its nominee, as is specified in such written transfer instructions. In the case of a resignation or determination under clause (3) of paragraph A hereof and the failure after reasonable investigation to locate another qualified Depository for the Bonds and Registered Coupons as provided in clause (3) of paragraph A hereof, and upon receipt of the outstanding Bonds and Registered Coupons by the Registrar, together with written instructions for transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, new Bonds shall be issued in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof and Registered Coupons shall be issued in authorized amounts, registered in the names of such persons, and in such authorized denominations as are requested in such written transfer instructions; however, the Registrar shall not be required to deliver such new Bonds or Registered Coupons within a period of less than 60 days from the date of receipt of such written transfer instructions. C. The Board and the Registrar shall be entitled to treat the Registered Owner of any Bond or Registered Coupon as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes hereof and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary received by any or all of them and the Board and the Registrar shall have no responsibility for transmitting payments or notices to the Beneficial Owners of the Bonds and Registered Coupons held by DTC or any successor or new Depository named pursuant to paragraph A hereof. D. The Board and the Registrar shall endeavor to cooperate with DTC or any successor or new Depository named pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of paragraph A hereof in -16- effectuating payment of the principal amount of the Bonds upon maturity or prior redemption by arranging for payment in such a manner that funds representing such payments are available to the Depository on the date they are due. E. Upon any partial redemption of any maturity of the Bonds, Cede & Co. (or its successor) in its discretion may request the District to issue and authenticate a new Bond or shall make an appropriate notation on the Bond indicating the date and amount of prepayment, except in the case of final maturity, in which case the Bond must be presented to the Registrar prior to payment. The records of the Paying Agent shall govern in the case of any dispute as to the amount of any partial prepayment made to Cede & Co. (or its successor). Section 11. Negotiability. Subject to the registration provisions hereof, the Bonds and Registered Coupons hereby authorized shall be fully negotiable and shall have all the qualities of negotiable paper, and the holder or holders thereof shall possess all rights enjoyed by the holders of negotiable instruments under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.

However, if the Town requests and the Company and the Town agree that it is in the mutual interest of both, the Company shall anticipate Fund amounts to be available for up to three (3) years in advance. Both parties shall enter into a special agreement concerning the advanced Funds. Any amounts advanced shall be credited against amounts to be expended in succeeding years until such advances are eliminated. ARTICLE 12 - ?- t - -- - - - - ----UNDERGROUNDING 12.1 At Consumer's Request. If a customer within the Town should request that new facilities be installed underground, or for the conversion of existing overhead facilities to underground facilities, or if Town ordinances or resolutions require a customer or customers to install facilities underground, the Company shall proceed in accordance with its Line Extension Policy, Advice Letter Number 8, dated July 30, 1976 (herein "Line Extension Policy") and in accordance with its Policy Statement, Conversion From Overhead to Underground Facilities, June 15, 1988 (herein "Underground Conversion Policy"), as each may from time to time be amended. 12.2 Town Requested Undergrounding. - -Except for the Company's- contributions to the Community Enhancement Fund, which may be used by the Town to pay for the 22 1% • e ) undergrounding of the Company's Facilities, any request, requirement imposed by resolution or ordinance, or other communication from the Town to the Company, asking, or requiring the Company to underground new facilities or existing overhead facilities, or move, remove, or replace existing underground facilities, shall be responded to in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Line Extension Policy, Underground -Conversion Policy, or other customary practice in use by the Company. The Town acknowledges receipt of a copy of both policies. 12.3 Relocation of Underground Facilities. Nothing hereinabove shall be construed to obligate the Company to pay for the removal and relocation of its Facilities where such is at the request or demand of a person, or a public or private entity under circumstances which require the party requesting or demanding such to pay for the relocation under other provisions hereof, or under the provisions of the Company's Line Extension Policy, Underground Conversion Policy, or other customary practice in use by the Company. 12.4 Governmental Mandates. This Franchise or the Town Municipal Code, as either may be amended from time to time, shall not prohibit or limit the Company's right to enforce its collection of the increased costs of new underground construction, or conversion, in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Line Extension Policy, Underground Conversion Policy, customary practices of the Company, or state law. Anything in this Franchise, or in the Municipal Code, that would be a contributing factor to the ultimate effect of-causing the Company to convert overhead electric lines or Facilities to underground lines or Facilities, or which would result in new construction of lines or Facilities being placed underground, when such could have been constructed overhead, shall be deemed to be a mandatory requirement of the Town. 23 r? ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS 13.1 Changes in Utility Regulation. In the event new legislation materially affects the terms and conditions of this Franchise Ordinance, the parties agree to renegotiate the affected terms and conditions in good faith. The parties hereto acknowledge that regulatory and legislative changes in the electric utility, gas utility and other energy industries are currently being discussed nationwide and statewide; that some changes in utility industry sectors have already been implemented; and that other changes may be made in the future, during the term of this Franchise. One likely scenario is the implementation of open access to electric customers, and other energy customers, making such customers available to all utilities, thus eliminating or limiting territorial protections. Under this scenario one utility may contract to sell a type of energy to a customer, while another ---utility transports the energy to--the customer for a fee-charged to-the-other utility or the customer. The parties agree, that insofar as future changes in the utility laws will allow, the Company shall always retain the right to bill customers for electric utility transportation services and electric energy sales within the Town if it is the provider of either the electric energy product or the transportation of such product. The parties agree that this will provide the most efficient and convenient electric utility service to the Residents and provide assurance to the Town of franchise fee collection for each component charged for the sale and delivery of electric energy products within the boundaries of the Town. 24 K, I \ l- 13.2 13.3 For the Town: For the Companv: Judy Yoder, Mayor Holy Cross Energy Town of Avon Attention: General Manager P.

Judy Yoder, Mayor Attest: Kris Nash, Town Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Burt Levin, Town Attorney 27 MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL HELD JANUARY 9, 2001 A regular meeting 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 Judy Yoder at 5:30 PM. A roll call was taken with Councilors Mike Brown, Debbie Buckley, Peter Buckley, Mac McDevitt and Mayor Protem Buz Reynolds present. Councilor Rick Cuny was absent. Also present were Town Manager Bill Efting, Assistant Town Manager Larry Brooks, Town Clerk Kris Nash, Human Resources Director Jacquie Halburnt, Finance Director Scott Wright, Police Chief Jeff Layman, Town Engineer Norm Wood, Public Works employee Gary Padilla, Transportation Director Harry Taylor as well as members of the public. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 00-14, Series of 2000, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 8.31 of the Avon Municipal Code Relating to Odor Pollution. Mayor Yoder stated this is a public hearing. Mr. Jim Collins, general counsel for the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District approached the Council. Mr. Collins stated they have been trying to work with Avon to control the odor issues. He felt that good progress has been made. He stated, for the record, that the Water District would like the Council not to pass this ordinance, but would like to have an ordinance that does more for the town and for the subject of odor control. Mr. Collins referred to a Phase I Report of an Evaluation of the Design and Operation of Odor Control Systems at the Avon and Edwards Wastewater Treatment Plants. (a copy of the report in part is attached to these minutes). He stated that the consultant reviewed the old ordinance and the proposed ordinance and made three points. 1.) The definition of odor nuisance and verification of odor complaints are considered to be essential elements of a reasonable odor ordinance that should be maintained as the Town now has some standards. 2.) Most other similar ordinance, in the consultants opinion, nationwide require more than three complaints over a longer period of time than did the older ordinance. The old ordinance pushed the envelope but did provide for. 3.) Eliminating the criteria as proposed is unreasonable and inconsistent with accepted practices. Finally, in the judgement of the consultant, amending the ordinance represents a step backwards in the development of a fair and equitable odor control ordinance for the Town. Mr. Collins concluded by saying whatever the Council decides tonight, the Water District will work with the Town to remove the odors from Avon. Councilor McDevitt stated it is his hope that the Town never has to bring this ordinance up. He stated that ordinances are not the way to stop the odor pollution. Even if the Town won every case it really wouldn't help us. He stated it is not the ordinance, it is getting rid of the odor. That is the key issue. This is simply a means of bringing it to the public's attention. He stated that, hopefully, we are moving in the right direction and won't have to worry about odors any longer. Councilor Peter Buckley stated that he would like to reinforce Councilman McDevitt's opinion. He stated that this was a campaign issue for him when he got elected. He said that people came to him and considered the odor a problem, and that they still consider it an ongoing problem. Mr. Buckley added that the Council does not have any direct control over the Water District, but through the ordinances they can make it more forcible for the Town. He stated that they would like to get the odor problem solved permanently Councilor Brown agreed as well. He stated that he lives in Sunridge Phase I and it is a serious lifestyle issue when the odor occurs. Something must be done. Mayor Yoder stated that this ordinance has been done in response to the constituents, not to try to beat up the District. There being no further comments, Mayor Yoder closed the public hearing. Councilor Debbie Buckley motioned approval of Ordinance No. 00-14, Series of 2000 on second reading. Councilor McDevitt seconded the motion. Mayor Yoder asked for a roll call. The motion carried unanimously. Town Manager Report: Town Manager Efting stated that there will be no work session next Tuesday. Consent Agenda: a.)

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED: ash, Town APPROVED: Michael Brown Debbie Buckley Peter Buckley Rick Curly Mac McDevitt Buz Reynolds Judy Yoder Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 PHASE I REPORT EVALUATION OF THE DESIGN AND OPERATION OF ODOR CONTROL SYSTEMS AT THE AVON AND EDWARDS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANTS Prepared for: EAGLE RIVER WATER AND SANITATION DISTRICT 846 Forest Road Vail, CO 81657 Prepared by: BOWKER & ASSOCIATES, INC. CONSULTING ENGINEERS 477 Congress Street, Suite 1004 Portland, ME 04101 December, 2000 eceived Time-Jan, 5.- 5:21P . • Allowable exposure levels for workers can be over 10,000 times the concentration that can be detected by the human nose. ` • Objectionable odors can cause symptoms such as nausea, headaches, itchy eyes, .etc, However, these symptoms' disappear when the odor is gone. • Although residual ozone would be expected to be removed in downstream wet scrubbers, M no data are available on whether or not ozone is present in the exhausts from the chemical scrubbers. AVON ODOR CONTROL ORDINAIVCE • --The -Avon -ordinance existing as of December 15, 2000 is well constructed and contains most of the elements considered to be important for a good odor regulation. The one exception is the lack of any provision for the odor generator to appeal the notice of ' violation. • The ordinance provides for. the Town to notify the potential odor generator of a possible violation, but no time frame is specified. The District has maintained that it had not been notified of odor complaints soon enough for them to take appropriate action or to adequately assess operating conditions at the time of the complaint More recently, the Town has improved its communications with the District. ' •. The original ordinance prior to its amendment in July, 2000 had an exception for conducting maintenance or repair of odor control equipment as long as the Town received prior notification. This was a reasonable provision in the judgment of Bowker ' & Associates. • The use of an ambient odor concentration for which an exceedence constitutes a violation is fairly common in odor regulations and in not unreasonable. However, 5 D/T cannot be ' measured with a Scentometer. Further, there is no specification of the number and frequency of measurements by the inspector to document the ambient odor concentration. • The complaint violation criteria of three complaints in a six-hour period ' is overly restrictive when compared to complaint criteria in other ordinances (e.g., 10 validated complaints in 9 months). ' . The Avon ordinance states that "an odor shall be deemed to interfere with reasonable and comfortable use and enjoyment of property if it is detectable by a trained observer (emphasis added) and which meets or exceeds any of the following. limits-.-" Based on ' review of police reports, the trained observer designated by the Town of Avon did not consistently . verify the. odor complaints or document the odor levels using the Scentometer that he was trained to use. ' • The current Avon ordinance essentially states that any odor release that results in odor complaints constitutes a violation punishable by a $1,000 fine or 90 days in jail. In the - judgment of.Bowker_&-.ssociates,-this is not-reasonable and does not recognize the realities of operating and maintaining a complex wastewater treatment facility that has significant public benefit in protecting public health and improving water quality. • A second amendment of the odor ordinance proposed in December, 2000 removes any definition of an odor nuisance and eliminates the requirement for verification of odor complaints by the Town of Avon. These are essential elements of an odor control ordinance that should be maintained. v Received Time Jan, 5. 5:21PM • definitions • identification of jurisdiction • complaint verification • standards and limits • description of notice of violation ?. • penalties • - remedies, • al peal process • exclusions • limitations Complaint verification is one of the more important elements of a good odor regulation. Virtually all regulations reviewed by Bowker & Associates, Inc. included this provision. ,A. goad odor regulation attempts to define a nuisance. In general, the regulations provide some degree of acceptance of odor. That is, the public is -expected to accept some odor, noise, or air pollution that is deemed non-harmful to the normal population. and which does not unreasonably interfere with their enjoyment of life and property. The occurrence of occasional odor does not necessarily constitute a nuisance. . 72 Avon Odor Ordinance The original Avon ordinance is based on two violation criteria: • ambient odor - 5 dilutions to threshold as measured by Barneby-Cheney Scentometer • complaints - 3 or more calls within a six-hour period The use of an odor "concentration" such as 5 dilutions to threshold(DM is not uncommon in odor regulations. Five dilutions to threshold means that the odor must be diluted five times before it is no longer detectable. Unfortunately, the Scentometer can only measure ranges of odor concentration. These ranges are as follows: Received Time Jan. 5, 5:21PM 28 <2 D/T 2-7 D/T &A 5 D/T 16-31 D/T 32-170 D/T 1 171-350 D/T Thus,-the Scentometer cannot measure 5-D/T. Some states that specify use of the Scentom.eter use 7 D/T as the violation threshold. The Scentometer is regarded by many as an unreliable tool for measuring odor. It is difficult to use and the results are dependent on the sensitivity of the user. Most regulations define the number of observations made by the inspector and the time frame of the observations, e_g. "three samples or observations in one hour period separated by 15 minutes each." The Avon ordinance does not address number of observations. The complaint criteria in the Avon odor ordinance is "3 or more calls from individuals representing separate properties within the Town within a six-hour period related to a single odor description-" A single odor episode apparently constitutes a violation. The ordinance does indicate that "The Town shall investigate all complaints to verify the source of the odor nuisance and take appropriate corrective action." Most complaint criteria specify a certain number of complaints, but over a much longer time period. For example, the Minnesota drat odor rule states "at least 10 independent complaints... and the total number of complaints include at least 5 different households (or places of business)... all of the independent complaints were made within a 90 day period ...at least 5 of the' independent complaints were confirmed (verified) through an inspection by a representative or agent..." The Bay Area Management District in California uses the criteria of "10 validated complaints within a 90-day period to trigger the ordinance." The violation criteria of. 3 complaints in a 6-hour period appears overly restrictive in that it essentially defines a nuisance as one odor event of unspecified duration. I Received Time Jan. 5. 5:21PM 29 I the ordinance it contains most of the essential elements In terms of the structure of th previously I discussed. The original 1997 ordinance had an "exceptions" clause that allowed for some odor release caused by 1) unanticipated upset conditions or equipment breakdown provided that the 1 Town be verbally notified followed by a written plan to correct it, and 2) start-up, shut-down, 1 cleaning or testing of machinery provided the Town be notified in writing 48 hours in advance and that the Town approve the repair or maintenance activity in writing. These exceptions were removed from the ordinance in June, 2000. The June, 2000 amendment also requires the person responsible for the odors to take immediate action to correct the problem, verbally notify the Town Manager within 8 hours as to why the violation occurred, and submit a written statement to the Town within 3 days detailing the reason for the violation and a plan to ensure that the problem will not recur. One element present in many regulations but missing in the Avon ordinance is the provision for appeal by the odor generator. In the Avon ordinance, the decision on whether or not a nuisance ' condition has occurred and the source of that nuisance is left up to the odor inspector designated' by the Town of Avon. However, the only documentation of odors appears to be in police logs, and in the cases reviewed by Bowker & Associates, odors were not verified or measured by the Town's trained odor inspector. In December, 2000 the Avon Town Council passed the first reading of an amendment to the odor ordinance that 1) eliminated any definition of what constitutes an odor nuisance (odor concentration by Scentometer, number of complaints in a specified tune internal), and 2) removed the requirement that odor complaints be verified by the Town of Avon. The proposed amendment was a direct result of the Town losing a case that it brought against the Sanitation District because the Court ruled that the Town failed to satisfy certain requirements of the ordinance. If implemented, this latest amendment will remove two elements that are considered essential to a good odor control ordinance. In the judgment of Bowker & Associates, this represents a major step backwards in the development of a fair and equitable odor control ordinance for the Town of Avon. I Received Time Jan, 5. 5:21 PM 30 I Based on review of the Avon ordinance, the available literature on odor regulation, and selected ' examples of other odor ordinances, the following summarizes the conclusions, of Bowker & Associates: ' the Avon ordinance existing as of December 15, 2000 is well constructed and contains most of the elements considered to be important for a good odor regulation.

Meryl wants to post a sign prohibiting loitering. This can be done. In order for the police to be authorized to enforce the ban on loitering § 9.04.130 of the Code must be satisfied. That section allows the town manager to issue orders limiting activities or conduct within public buildings, including-an -order -prohibiting-loiteri-ng-at-the-rec-center, which order shall "be effective only upon resolution of the town council." Furthermore, no conviction may be obtained for a violation of § 9.04.130 "unless notice of such limitations or prohibitions is prominently posted at all public entrances to such building...." Therefore, I have prepared the attached order of the town manager and resolution of the town council to prohibit loitering in the rec center. Upon approval of the resolution a "no loitering" sign will be posted on the door of the rec center, and the police will then have authority to enforce the ban. The police and the rec staff will note that "No conviction may be obtained under this section [§ 9.04.130] unless such notice is actually first given by the officer or agency, including any agent thereof, or by any law enforcement officer having jurisdiction or authority to enforce this section." I take that to mean that any person loitering in the rec center must be advised, by a rec staff member -)r a police officer, to stop loitering or leave the building, before the police are authorized to charge the person with a violation of § 9.04.130. (The charge in such a case should be "§ 9.04.130 Unlawful conduct on public property.") -µ loitering order.doc loiterig res.doc The resolution will appear on the council's February 13th agenda.
