Creek Resort Company and the Town of Avon to pay for the utility
improvements and two temporary buildings that will be located oil
Swift Gulch, that will eventually be our Public Works site. The
agreement calls for Beaver Creek to pay one half'of the cost of
improvements, which currently is estimated to be $379,875. The
agreement allows Beaver Creek to pay cash to.help the Town
arrange ,a lease/purchase. Mr. Bob McIllveen indicated Beaver
Creek prefers the lease/purchase arrangement. With that in mind,
there is an amendment to the agreement that requires Beaver Creek
to not only pay half of the cost of the improvements but; also to
pay for Phase I environmental audit, as well as an appraisal.
The town should pay for it's share, approximately $250,580 - we
pay for our share with cash for the utility portion and then
lease the buildings, along with Beaver Creek. The town will not
have any lease obligations, as far as the.utilities are
concerned.
Town Manager James continued, the budget expenditure is $108,000,
less $250';580,~leaving _$141,000.- Currently, we have in the
Public~Works Fund Balance $154,000, meaning.we, have sufficient
funds ($141,000) to cover the cost of the•utilities.
