DISCUSSION / DIRECTION 9.12023 Community Plan Review Scot H. said that Chapter 16 update is at the top of our list, but what should our priorities be for the next couple of years for the Planning Commission? Coordinating with CPW and wildlife mitigation practices he believes is another big priority. Tom P. said that Objectives 1.1 (provide and follow cohesive forward thinking zoning for the Town), 2.5 (ADU incentives to encourage affordable residential development), 4.6 (goes in hand with 2.5) are his priorities. Jeff A. said that Action Items 4.6.1 (AMI), 7.6.1 (Little Beach Park Recreation Plan), and 2.2.4 (modifying historic structures) are his priorities. Note: Sage P. joined the meeting at 6:43 p.m. Michael B. said that his priorities were Objective 4.5 (water), Objective 6.1.2 (land uses, parking requirements, 2 hour time limits with parking turnover), 6.3.1, 6.3.2, 6.3.3 (connectivity with sidewalks, Objective 3.3 (pursuing something with Dowd Junction), Action 1.1 (future zoning map). Sage P. said that she agrees with Jeff A. about his comments concerning Little Beach. Lynn T. said that her priorities are to keep Minturn Minturn, water, zoning, wildlife and Little Beach Park, wildfire, AMI, and parking. 10. STAFF REPORTS 10.1 Manager's Report For the Love of Local Wildlife We are excited to be enjoying the summer season in the Colorado Rockies. With this special time of year comes the need to pay extra diligence toward any outdoor garbage storage. If you store your garbage bin outside, you are required to have it locked in a wildlife -proof container. Bears, raccoons, and a variety of other furry critters just love what you may have thrown out the night before and everyone needs to be mindful that a violating bear is a dead bear. Minturn Planning Connuission July 26, 2023 Page 3 of 4 Human Resource Services I plan to contract with Employer's Council for human resource services. Minturn's Employee Handbook is now 25-years old and in need of updating. Additionally, the resources and HR specialists available can provide Minturn with job descriptions, salary surveys, a resource library and guidance on medial leave issues. Attached are documents pertaining to the contracted services. Minturn would be under the "Consulting" category. Two Elk Target Range I met with USFS, CPW, BLM and Eagle County representatives regarding the Two Elk Target Range. The USFS is currently working to determine their bandwidth for adding the TETR into their scope of work for 2024. They already have a full workload but will make final determinations later this year. Minturn Tank #3 (New Concrete Tank) I am hopeful the new tank will be in operation by the time of this council meeting. Final controls are set to be programmed on Monday, July 17th and once completed, the tank should be filled and operational. Minturn Fitness Center Kevin Roop, MFC Manager, will be moving to Aspen and the MFC has published a notice for candidates. I will be interviewing three candidate finalists next week and expect a determination shortly thereafter. We wish Kevin the very best in his new endeavors. Bellm Bridge Repairs SEH was contracted to recommend temporary scour countermeasures to address an Essential Repair Finding (ERF) for the Bellm Bridge in Minturn, CO. The bridge is currently showing major signs of scour including a number of exposed footers and piers. To address the ERF, it was determined that temporary scour protection needed to be put in place to minimize further erosion and prevent potential failure of the bridge. The most recent bridge inspection report and ERF can be found in an attachment to this memo. The intent is to place riprap to prevent further scour damage to the Bellm Bridge while funding and design for permanent improvements are determined. 11.
