Sean Hanagan, Planning
Chairman Fisher stated that item K would be pulled.
Chairman Fisher asked the Attorney's Office if there were any changes to the Consent Agenda.
Bryan Treu, County Attorney stated that item N would not need to be approved.
Commissioner Stavney moved to approve the Consent Agenda, Items A -O excepting items K and N.
Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Anne Robinson and Chris Montero spoke to the board about item K.
Ms. Robinson described the program. They were looking to implement the program during the next week.
Mr. Montero stated that they had representations from many countries. They were honored to have
Chairman Fisher at the meeting. They had 90 participants. The IGA was approved by their board with the
understanding that partnerships with public health and primary care givers were very important. Community
paramedic is the idea of using paramedics in a community health setting. Paramedics can go into patient's homes
during their down -times and help with transitions after surgeries for instance.
Commissioner Stavney asked how the model was helpful to public health in terms of preventive health care
and the dollars associated with the IGA.
Ms. Robinson stated that there was no dollar amount tied to the agreement. The program was modeled half
on direct medical care and half on preventative services. The program allows them to expand their capacity into the
community without expanding the current staff levels and focus on preventative efforts.
Mr. Montero stated that they intended to collect data and evaluate their effectiveness.
Commissioner Runyon stated that he supported the program due to the utilization of resources to the
benefit of the community.
Commissioner Runyon moved to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between Eagle County Public
Health and Western Eagle County Ambulance District for Community Paramedic Program
Commissioner Stavney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.

the general location of the previous lodge building which burned down in 2007.
LOCATION: 127 Trough Road, Historic State Bridge Property
Commissioner Runyon moved to table file ZS -2629 State Bridge until September 14, 2010.

the applicant should be ready.
The vote was declared unanimous.
2010 Abstract of Assessment
Assessor's Office Representative
Mark Chapin explained the abstract. This report was prepared after the Eagle County board of appeals.
Certifications had been sent to all of the tax entities.
Commissioner Stavney asked about the backup.
Chairman Fisher asked for more detail.
Mr. Chapin stated that this serves as notification to the board the total tax numbers for property values.
There has been a significant change due to the addition of about 60,000,000 of assessed value for new construction.
Chairman Fisher stated that at re- assessment did not occur, but there had been 60,000,000 of new
construction, less the abatement refunds approved. She wondered about the 2009 comparisons.
Mr. Chapin stated that the total assessed has grown by 60,000,000. The total assessed valuation for Eagle
County was $3,938,332,210 of that $306,694,760 was exempt or non - taxable.
Commissioner Runyon asked how this figure was determined.
Mr. Chapin stated that it was 7.96% for residential properties and all other properties were assessed at 29 %.
The valuation was based on use, whether residential, agricultural, or commercial.
Commissioner Runyon stated that the tax rate was based on the income generated from the property.
Mr. Chapin stated that there was a difference between industrial and agricultural.
Commissioner Stavney moved to approve the 2010 Abstract of Assessment and authorize the chairman to
sign the abstract.

Agreement between Eagle County, Stratton Flats Homes LLC, and Colorado
Business Bank regarding the Consent to Transfer Development Rights in the Stratton
Flats Project
County Attorney's Office Representative Bryan Treu explained the situation.
Mr. Treu stated that the original agreement was with the county bringing 5.5 million to the investment and
in return 2/3 of the project was deed restricted. Colorado Business Bank had a revolving loan and that loan was
paid first and Eagle County's loan paid second. The developer could not sell the requisite number of units and
ended up in default. The new developer would bring new money to finish infrastructure. The bank restructured the
loan and forgave the default interest that had accrued. The change was the affordable housing component as with
the new agreement it will be 1/3 rather than 2/3 workforce housing. They looked at the price points and homes on
the free market are selling at the same price as the deed restricted units. Staff felt this represented the best deal to
insure that the County recouped their investment.
Brian Pauls provided some history of his firm and their other development properties. They believed in the
market, work force housing, and maximizing value for themselves, the bank and for the county.
Commissioner Runyon stated that it is 4.5 million and the county expected this money to be recouped if the
project was successful. The original plan was to have them all prefab from Denver; however having them stick
built on site would be better for the county.
Mr. Pauls stated that they intended to stick build the homes.
Commissioner Stavney asked about bulk sales.
Mr. Pauls stated they did not intend to do this.
Chairman Fisher opened public comment. She closed public comment, as there was none.
Chairman Fisher stated that in the past, manufactured homes were deemed to be preferable due to their
quick availability. When she was elected four years ago workforce housing was a critical issue. She believed this
project could be successful for Gypsum and our community overall. She was grateful that a reputable developer
carries this vision.
Commissioner Runyon added that in late 2007 no one knew what was about to happen 9 months hence the
decision may have been different. His issues with the project were based on other things than the potential risk of
the investment.
Chairman Fisher hoped for success with the new developer. They never expected to see a return on the
investment until the project was complete.
Mr. Pauls stated that activity could begin in the spring along with winter marketing.
Chairman Fisher added that the developer would be able to market to the Home Store. As the market
improves the county is likely to go back to the same type of building scenario of the past.
Commissioner Stavney moved to approve the agreement between Eagle County, Stratton Flats Homes
LLC, and Colorado Business Bank regarding the consent to transfer development rights in the Stratton Flats
project.
Commissioner Runyon seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous.
Other
Commissioner Stavney recognized his father in the audience.
