Constituent Input Chairman Scherr opened public comment and stated that 45 minutes was being allocated for public comment today. He explained the board had received a lot of comments via phone calls and emails related to COVID and the mask mandates. He stated that Public Health was aware of the mountains of data and evaluated everything and took everything into account. Nedra Bonta, Eagle resident, spoke. She had grandchildren that attended school at Eagle Valley Elementary. She listened to everyone's comments last week and appreciated them. She agreed with the women who spoke about Vitamin D. She believed that putting the children in masks was the wrong thing to do and was detrimental to their health. She encouraged people to buy children Vitamin D gummies. Anna Roches,Gypsum resident, spoke. She spoke about the trust that was put in the elected officials and what was expected of them. Community members were a part of the community and should be participating in the decisions. The community elected representatives who had the experience and obligation to make decisions based on facts and truth. The officials were paid to follow the truth in matters, and as a constituent, she expected them to explain their decisions and base any decisions on evidence and the needs of the community. She understood the risk but wished to live life fully. Wendy Armstrong of Gypsum spoke. She believed the board did not have the expertise to care for the children in the community nor did the Public Health Director have the expertise to determine whether people should wear masks. She believed the government was taking the rights away from parents. Nicole Atencio, Gypsum resident and a registered nurse at Valley View Hospital, spoke. She believed that there was a lot of conflicting information on both sides. It was confusing and there was a state of fear. The choices she's made for her and her family were based on her personal research. She believed that children needed to be in 2 08/31/2021 school,able to communicate, socialize, and see one another smile. Masking them was a huge detriment to their mental health. Heather Berquest of Gypsum spoke. Over the last 18 months she found one question drifting through her mind,was this really about health? She believed that immunity mattered and the question was how to achieve herd immunity. She believed that natural immunity was the key. The vaccine was an attempt to replicate the natural process in the body. She wondered why children not at risk would be offered a vaccine if this was really about health. Her research showed that natural immunity showed more protection than vaccines. Andrew Osborne of Gypsum spoke. He wondered if the$10.7 million dollars that the county received from the state had strings attached. He wondered if the strings attached required masking children and requiring lockdowns. He believed it was not about health. It was about continuing the pandemic with the money. Chairman Scherr thanked everyone for their time and stated that anyone was welcome to comment or write to the board via email. Business Item(s) 1.

The purpose of the PUD amendment was to allow for a single-family residential use on Lot 1. Proper notice had been done, and no public comment had been received. The Town of Vail expressed concern for both the single family residential and lodge being allowed. The Town of Vail did support the 50 ft. setback from Gore Creek.
