TC Minutes 11-06-2002MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE TOWN COUNCIL
HELD NOVEMBER 6, 2002
A regular meeting of the Town of Avon, Colorado was held in the Municipal Building, 400
Benchmark Road, Avon, Colorado in the Council Chambers.
Mayor Judy Yoder called the meeting to order at 8:30 AM. A roll call was taken with
Councilors Michael Brown, Debbie Buckley, Peter Buckley, Mac McDevitt, Brian Sipes and
Mayor Pro Tem Buz Reynolds present. Also present were Town Manager Bill Efting, Assistant
Town Manager Larry Brooks, Town Attorney John Dunn, Town Clerk Patty McKenny, Town
Engineer Norm Wood, and Public Works Director Bob Reed. Others present included: Mike
Caccioppo.
Unfinished Business
The Village (at Avon) Water Lease & Water Sublease
Attorney John Dunn noted the two remaining issues to resolve from the last meeting were
whether or not the water rights were adequate and whether or not the water rights would be
leased or conveyed to the Town. Issues have been resolved and the attorneys are in agreement
that there are adequate water rights and that the water rights would be leased to the Town and
then subsequently leased to the Water Authority. Rick Johnson, Traer Creek Metro District, still
had a few minor issues, and was trying to resolve them at this time. Staffs recommendation was
that Council authorizes the execution of this agreement.
Councilor Reynolds moved to authorize Mayor Yoder to sign the water lease and water sublease
agreements on behalf of the Town. Councilor McDevitt seconded the motion. Councilor
McDevitt voiced his concern about the fact that he had not yet had a chance to make a specific
comparison to the agreement presented at the Water Authority meeting. Mayor Yoder asked for
those in favor of the motion. Those in favor are as follows: Brown, D. Buckley, P. Buckley,
McDevitt, Reynolds and Sipes. The motion passed unanimously.
Town Manager Report
He noted that political signs are being removed.
Mayor Report
Mayor Yoder stated that the Town Council was sad to accept Town Manager Bill Efting's
resignation from his position, as he will be moving to South Padre Island Texas to become their
new Town Manager. She noted that a farewell party would be held for Bill Efting, November
22°a at the Outback and invited everyone to attend.
Other Business
Mayor Yoder raised the question of when the Council would like to discuss the vacancy in the
Manager's position. Some discussion took place about when new Council members would be
sworn-in. It was noted that the County Clerk & Recorder's office would be counting provisional
ballots until the following week and the Canvass Board was tentatively set to meet on November
12''. If a recount would be required, new members would not be sworn-in until a later date.
Discussion continued about when to begin discussions on Bill's replacement and whether or not
it would require an executive session. It was decided that Council would schedule an Executive
Session at the Work Session at the meeting on November 12th and the new Council member
could be invited. John Dunn would also provide a synopsis on the process of electing a Mayor
and Mayor Pro Tem.
Consent Agenda
Mayor Yoder asked for a motion on the Consent Agenda. Councilor Brown moved to approve
the Consent Agenda. Councilor McDevitt seconded the motion. The motion was carried
unanimously.
There being no further business to come before the Council, a motion was made to adjourn. The
meeting adjourned at 9 AM.
