We are requesting increases to the Town of Eagle’s Contract over the next three years until you are paying an equal share of the Field Services Costs by 2020 according to population. By 2020 county will be paying approximately 50% of Field Services costs plus the remaining cost for our department. The total will come to approximately 68% of the total budget or $605,000 depending on income made through fees and fines collected. - Breakdown of Costs - County staff considered many methodologies to determine how to allocate Field Services’ costs in an equitable manner. It was determined that town population provided the best proxy. TOWN OF EAGLE - COUNTY - AGENCY SHARED 2017 Town of Eagle Cost $21,600 / 2017 Cost for ECAS is $657,000 = 3.3% CALCULATION = TOWN POPULATION / COUNTY POPULATION x FIELD SERVICES ESTIMATED BUDGET Town of Eagle Population / County Population = 12.4% Field Services Cost = $510,000 x 12.4% = $63,240 2018 = $35,480 / 2019 = $49,360 / 2020 = $63,240 - Expected Field Service Increases - Staffing from 8 hour days to 10-12 hour days Increased response to after-hours calls Improved documentation and reporting Quicker response during daytime hours Safer community - Other Options - Contract for sheltering only $25,000 Page 4 of 241 MINUTES Town Board of Trustees Tuesday, July 25, 2017 6:00 P.M.

Water Plant Investment Fee Increase Proposal (Tap Fees), Tom Boni Acting Town Manager and Town Staff. Tom Boni presented this item and provided update of public comments received. The staff recommendation was to increase tap fees to $12,256 with a 3% annual increase thereafter, proposed adoption at the August 8th board meeting with the fees due at building permit application. Additional discussion options related to pre-payment, the increase of construction and building code costs and its affect on affordability, non-potable irrigation systems and potential for discounts on tap fees, adjustments to EQR table of equivalents to review, balance and incentivize density and water conservation. Since the initial tap fee and rate study was prepared by SGM, the Town has received additional and significant deposits into the water fund. Discussion regarding the need to recalculate the fee study based on current numbers. In addition, there was a desire to reconsider wholesale fixed assets and value of water rights for the purposes of calculating replacement costs and effect on proposed rates. Of note was the tap fees are not factored into the repayment of the loan we are seeking to finance the new plant. While tap fee revenues can be used to pay towards the loan, it is not a reliable revenue stream. Mayor McKibbin opened this item for public comment. July 25, 2017 Town Board Meeting 2 | P a g e Page 6 of 241 Brad Hagedorn Eagle. EQR rate and schedule are different but currently there is no gradation between small units and single family homes. This would have major impacts. Eric Eves Creekside Development and builder in Eagle. Requested the Board consider a sliding scale for EQRs and credit for non-potable systems. Keep the momentum. Bruce Hagedorn. Sliding scale for EQRs would encourage and incentivize affordable housing. Mick Daly. Broad business perspective we feel the same regarding what has been said regarding incentivizing.

  • APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM April 2020 by David Evans and Associates
    APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM Environmental Assessment and Section 4(f) Evaluation APPENDIX A20 CUMULATIVE IMPACTS TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM April 2020 By David Evans and Associates INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The I-70 West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project is located in Eagle and Summit Counties, with the eastern terminus just east of the Vail Pass Rest Area and the western terminus in the Town of Vail. The project study limits include eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB) I-70 from mile post (MP) 179.5 to MP 191.5. The project location and approximate study area are shown in Figure 1 . As part of the initial National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis, a Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the I-70 Mountain Corridor (C-470 to Glenwood Springs) was completed in 2011. This EIS, the I-70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic Final Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS), recommended the addition of auxiliary lanes EB and WB on the west side of Vail Pass from MP 180 to MP 190 as part of the Preferred Alternative’s Minimum Program of Improvements. The PEIS also identified the potential for an elevated Advanced Guideway System (AGS) for transit along the I-70 corridor, including the West Vail Pass project corridor. A follow-up AGS Feasibility Study in 2014 analyzed potential alignments and costs for an AGS system and determined there were three feasible alignments for future AGS. While AGS is not part of the West Vail Pass Auxiliary Lanes project, the AGS Feasibility Study was used to ensure the project did not preclude the favored alignment of the three, which would be partially within CDOT right-of-way (ROW).

  • Fishing Report
    COLORADO PARKS & WILDLIFE Fishing ReportFishing Regulations Friday March 23rd, 2018 Review News and Information CPW accepts check for $29 million grant from U.S. Department of the Interior Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director Bob Broscheid on Tuesday, March 20, accepted a check for $29 million from the U.S. Department of Interior, declaring the funding “critical to CPW’s efforts for wildlife conservation, research, habitat preservation” as well as for supporting hunting and fishing programs. Invasive mussels knocking on Colorado's door prompts Highline Lake to revise boat ramp rules Beginning April 1, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will lock the boat ramp each evening at Highline Lake State Park, or when Aquatic Nuisance Species inspectors are not available. The new rule is in response to the growing threat posed to Colorado's water by the few boaters suspected of illegally launching their watercraft without the required aquatic nuisance species inspection. Anglers can provide input at two CPW 'State of the Fish" meetings in Summit, Grand counties In continuing efforts to engage the public in constructive conversations, Colorado Parks and Wildlife will hold two 'State of the Fish' gatherings in Summit and Grand County later this month. Agency biologists and managers will be available to answer questions about the current status of local fisheries, and future management plans. Go fish! 2018 fishing licenses are available now, valid beginning April 1 Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds anglers that it's time to get ready for another season of fishing. Coloradans and non-resident visitors can purchase a 2018 annual fishing license now either online, at your local CPW office or at any of our hundreds of authorized sales agents statewide.
