Sherry Dingwell from the Alpine Federal Bank then approached the Council. She
introduced herself and stated that they are new in Town. The office was Western
Federal Savings, Alpine purchased the office in June of this year. The
Association has started a savings program and have started loans. They have made
loans of $600,000 and loan in the entire valley. On a $100,000 Certificate of
Deposit they give a percentage of 12%. They basically give permanent loans-
not construction loans. Ms. Dingwell passed out to each Councilmember a
finanical statement from the bank. After some discussion the Mayor thanked Ms.
Dingwell for coming.
Doug Fuer approached the Council. Town Attorney, John Blish introduced Mr. Fuer.
Mr. Fuer is from Boulder, Colorado, the Mayor and Town Attorney invited Mr.
Fuer to be present at the meeting to present to the Council an acceptable. program.
Mr. Fuer stated that the Council has to make a decision rather quickly.on the pension
plan fund.
They are currently working with the Town of Vail in all of their fringe
benefit programs. The primary source of their businessris Forporations,.but do
consult with a few municipalities in the counties also.
Mr. Fuer has developed a program based on Stan Bernstein's projection for the Town.
They have the figures that can provide better coverage then what the Colorado State
Police and Fireman's fund can provide and better coverage then what the Federal
Government can provide through Social Security.
They project they could save the Town $50,000 on the next ten years in costs and
provide better benefits.
They can provide better benefit to employees at 5% of payroll instead of 6.3 growing
to 7.65%. Plus if an employee leaves he takes all of his own contributions with him
and the interest that was earned on the contributions. The Town is in an ideal
situation to select a plan for social security because of the minimal size of the
employees.
Mr. Fuer passed to each Councilmember, material on the plan. After a lengthly
discussion the Mayor thanked Doug Fuer for coming.
The Mayor asked Tom Glass to come before the Council and explain the NWCCOG
A-95-Training for City and Regional Planning Commission. After discussion Steve

lot lines themselves. He has received letters from all the utility companies
except Rocky Mountain Cable, which he will have tomar.row. He also had a prepared
Resolution.
After some discussion Steve Erickson moved approval of Resolution No.#27 to vacate
the lot lines, contingent upon the review of our Town Attorney, the quick-claim
deeds from Mountain Bell and Holy Cross Electric Association and also a letter from
Rocky Mountain Cable TV, Inc. to vacate the easements, seconded by Jim Wells
and the motion was unanimously carried.
