Mr. Subia stated that Eagle County had one of the highest response rates for a mountain region. There was great leadership at the county level. He showed a map with initial response rates. Colorado hit a 70% response rate. Eagle County had a 40% return rate, which was actually very good in comparison to other counties. Commissioner Runyon wondered if mountain communities were affected because of second homes. Mr. Subia stated that 40% of people with a questionnaire on their doors returned their surveys. He acknowledged the fact that mail in surveys had a higher response rate. Soon a vacant delete process would be complete and the response rate would increase. The Town of Eagle had a 67% response rate. Gypsum had a 62% response rate. There was a significant improvement from the 2000 census. Chairman Fisher stated that a 23% return rate in Vail would be a true reflection since there were so many second homes. Mr. Subia stated that the census was a census of housing units not necessarily population. Over the last three years, they had identified the homes needing to be included. Chairman Fisher stated that there was also a dichotomy with post office boxes as mailing addresses. Mr. Subia stated that there were discussions about the post office box situation and how it would be addressed in 2020. Commissioner Runyon stated that this had been on the table for more than a few years. There were also so many homes with garage apartments, accessory dwelling units and other non traditional dwelling units it was important to know this. Chairman Fisher stated that she had an apartment over her garage and she was visited twice to confirm that no one was living in the unit. Mr. Subia stated that they got thousands of phone calls from people informing them that they had not been counted. The complete count strategy was very effective. He presented a plaque to the Eagle County Complete Count Committee. Special Recognition - Animal Services Officer Nathan Lehnert Shawn Markmann, Animal Services Mr. Markmann stated that three weeks ago animal services received a call that Portuguese Water Dog was stuck in a drainpipe. Officer Lehnert helped to get the dog out of the pipe. One end of the pipe was blocked. Officer Lehnert went in after the dog and made his way down the pipe and coaxed the dog out. He thanked Officer Lehnert for going above and beyond. Officer Lehnert thanked the board, but said that he doesn't expect the recognition because doing the work was enough of a reward. 1 07/27/2010 Consent Agenda Chairman Fisher stated the first item before the Board was the Consent Agenda as follows: A. Approval of Bill Paying for the Week of July 26, 2010 (subject to review by the Finance Director) Finance Department Representative B. Eagle County Clerk and Recorder Recording Software from Fidlar County Care Software Maintenance Agreement Teak Simonton, Clerk and Recorder C. U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration Grant Agreement Part I, Offer for Update of Airport Master Plan Study Airport Representative D. Resolution 2010 -083 Approval of a Site Specific Development Plan for the Colorado Mountain College Edwards Campus Expansion Located in the Berry Creek / Miller Ranch Planned Unit Development (Eagle County File No. PR -2762) Bob Narracci, Planning E. Resolution 2010 -084 Vacating the Hilltop Condominiums Final Plat and Condominium Map at Request and with Consent of the Current Owner of Such Plat so as to Return Such Property to its State Immediately Prior to Recording of the Final Plat Bob Narracci, Planning Chairman Fisher asked the Attorney's Office if there were any changes to the Consent Agenda. Bryan Treu, County Attorney stated that there were no revisions or changes. Commissioner Stavney moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items A -E. Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. Citizen Input Chairman Fisher opened citizen input. Frank Lorenti spoke to the board. He thanked the board for their input about the Ginn development. He hoped that the Energy Loan program would be revisited because it was presented way too early, it goes against the Obama plan to keep people in their homes. People must sign a contract acknowledging that they may not be able to re- finance or sell their homes while participating in the program. He suggested this type of loan agreement be in bold on the first page of the document. There needed to be some sort of review that the property owner can afford the new loan amount. He was also concerned that there was no credit check required for this program. He felt that the program was being pushed through because Eagle County would make a 6% profit. He wished the county would re- consider due to all the problems that have not been addressed. Chairman Fisher stated that some of his statements were valid concerns, and others had reasonable answers. The board had been very cautious in planning for this to be possible, but they did not want to set themselves up for potential loss. People had a choice about these types of loans and nothing would be hidden in fine print. Commissioner Stavney stated that the statement that the county was trying to make money was specious. The county was merely trying to help people do energy upgrades to help homeowners save money on monthly bills. Commissioner Runyon stated that there was a balance point about the responsibility for the individuals signing up for these loans. People needed to be responsible with financial decisions and the county was still working on the mechanism of the letter. Mr. Treu stated that there were still several hurdles to overcome. Chairman Fisher closed public comment. 2 07/27/2010 Resolution 2010 -085 Adopting a Third Supplementary Budget and Appropriation of Unanticipated Revenues for Fiscal Year 2010 and Authorizing the Transfer of Budgeted and Appropriated Moneys between Various Spending Agencies John Lewis, Finance Director Mr. Lewis presented the request. He stated that there would be money put back into the General Fund balance. The additional expenses requested were necessary, unavoidable, and minimal. The contingency fund would receive additional money in the amount of approximately $324,866.00. There was a total net appropriation of $327,451.00. We did receive a $30,000 Colorado Forest Restoration Grant to knock down some dead trees on Bellyache Ridge. There was a transfer of $369,000.00 from the Early Childhood program back into the General Fund. $92,185 was the net appropriation from the General Fund. The Sheriff was asking for money for the new 800 Megahertz phone system. There was a $2,800 request from the Treasurer to buy back the tax liens and pay interest associated with these liens. The Open Space fund was being asked for 20,000 to pay for consultant and legal fees. Commissioner Runyon asked about Early Childhood Fund. He wanted to be sure that it was noted that the $369,000.00 was a carry forward from 2009 and placed there as a match for community participation in the fund. It was put there to encourage other organizations and individuals. Mr. Lewis stated that the Public Health fund had a decrease in grant funding. They need an additional $4285.00 to cover costs. They were asking for $20,000 to cover the cost of design of the Miller Ranch community center. Some of the money allocated for the first phase of the justice center would not be needed and would be put back into the General Fund. Chairman Fisher opened and closed public comment, as there was none. Commissioner Runyon moved to approve Adopt a Third Supplementary Budget and Appropriation of Unanticipated Revenues for Fiscal Year 2010 and Authorizing the Transfer of Budgeted and Appropriated Moneys between Various Spending Agencies Commissioner Stavney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. Commissioner Stavney moved to adjourn as the Board of County Commissioners and re- convene as the Eagle County Liquor Licensing Authority. Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
