Approximately 81% of County land is controlled by the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Pitkin County includes the communities of Aspen, Snowmass, Woody Creek, Old Snowmass, Meredith, Thomasville, Redstone and portions of the town of Basalt. The County seat is Aspen, Colorado. Demographics The total population of Pitkin County is 17,890, and the median age of residents is 43.2. The median household income of Pitkin County residents is $67,755, but the average wage per job is just $50,648 — 7% lower than the State average. Approximately 60% of jobs in Pitkin County are filled by employees living outside the County. The median property value is $552,900. Even though Pitkin County has been very prosperous over the past 40 years, there are still significant community sustainability concerns including the affordability of housing, healthcare, transportation and an aging workforce. Economy Best known for its four world‐class ski resorts (Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass) recreation and tourism are the mainstay of the local economy with arts, cultural and recreational events providing a year‐round attraction. Real estate and construction also play a major role in Pitkin County’s economy, and real estate sales totaled over $1.9 billion in 2017. Transportation Highway 82 is the only major roadway in Pitkin County leading into and out of Aspen via I 70 at Glenwood Springs to the north and over 12,000 foot Independence Pass to the south. Public transportation is provided by the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) and is easy to use throughout the valley. The Aspen/Pitkin County Airport is one of the third busiest in the state, behind Denver International and Colorado Springs airports. Government With the county seat in Aspen, Colorado, Pitkin County was established in 1881 and became a home rule county in 1978. That means Pitkin County has the authority to establish the organization and structure of the county government via a document known as the Pitkin County Home Rule Charter. A five‐ member board of county commissioners and the staff are empowered to run the county operations in accordance with the charter. The Pitkin County Home Rule Charter is available online at www.pitkincounty.com. Today, the County maintains 265 miles of roads and 24 bridges. Pitkin County provides the full range of services contemplated by State statue including, but not limited to, assessment and property tax administration; recording of vital documents and automobile registration; sheriff patrol and jail administration; ambulance operations; court facilities; land use planning, zoning and building inspections; road maintenance and construction; welfare and public health services; a solid 8 waste landfill disposal facility; airport operations; television relay and translator facilities; open space and trails; and environmental health protection. History The first silver prospectors in the Roaring Fork Valley arrived in the summer of 1879, set up camp and staked claims at the foot of Aspen Mountain. Before a permanent settlement could be established, news of a nearby Indian uprising prompted Colorado’s Governor Frederick Pitkin to urge the settlers to flee back across the Continental Divide for their safety. Most of them did, and only a handful of settlers remained in the Roaring Fork Valley during the winters of 1879 and 1880. It wasn’t until 1881 that Governor Pitkin signed legislation designating the boundaries of the new county, named Aspen as the county seat and appointed the first office holders in the county. 9 Pitkin County Organizational Values Pitkin County embraces the following values to promote public trust and confidence in County government.

    A Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners Approving the Remodel and Addition to the Courthouse Plaza Building at 530 E

    AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY WORK SESSION DATE: June 13, 2016 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: A Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners approving the remodel and addition to the Courthouse Plaza Building at 530 E. Main Street, Aspen, Colorado. STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Jon Peacock, County Manager ISSUE STATEMENT: Time has been set aside at today’s meeting to consider a resolution approving the Courthouse Plaza remodel and addition, and respectfully overruling certain conditions placed on the project by the City of Aspen in Ordinance No. 10 Series of 2016. BACKGROUND: Pitkin County is an administrative arm of the State and provides essential public services. Title 30 of Colorado Revised Statutes establishes Aspen as the County Seat, and requires certain County offices to be maintained in Aspen. Since 2006 the County has identified the challenge of inadequate facilities as a barrier to providing quality and essential public services. Areas of special concern include, but are not limited to: law enforcement; the Ninth Judicial District; Elections; public hearing and meeting spaces; community planning and building services, etc. In 2006 the County engaged in two planning processes that set the stage for this project. First, in January of 2006 the County completed a comprehensive Facilities Master Plan that identified significant facility deficits for essential public services, and provided several alternatives for meeting then current and future facility needs. Alternatives included facilities located in the Aspen Core, and other options that suggested developing new facilities down valley outside of Aspen. Later in 2006 the County partnered with the City of Aspen and other non-profit entities to complete the Civic Master Plan which found in part that: “Removing civic functions from the downtown will tend to reduce the kind of community character that still makes the core of Aspen a vital and traditional downtown.” The Civic Master Plan called on the County to keep County offices in Aspen’s downtown core.

Introduction For the last thirty years, the Wheeler-Stallard house has served as the headquarters ofthe Aspen Historical Society and the community's only historical museum Yet, at the same time, much ofthe history ofthe house remains obscure. The house's exact chain ofresidency, its function and appearance over time, even its architect and date ofconstruction were seemingly lost in the passage ofthe last one hundred years. This situation posed a problem when the Society began to contemplate an interior restoration ofthe house-returning the house to its original appearance and interpreting it to future visitors accurately naturally required an expansion ofthe concrete knowledge about the house. Therefore, this study is primarily aimed at filling the gaps in the Wheeler-Stallard house history and suggesting interpretative themes that may be useful in the upcoming restoration. On one level, the history ofthe Wheeler-Stallard house is a story ofindividuals. Jerome Wheeler, the silver magnate who built the house in 1888 but never lived in it, the Stallards who toiled in the house to make ends meet during the post-crash years, Walter Paepcke, the Chicago businessman who made it part ofhis skiing and cultural empire, all left indelible marks upon the house.
