Town Board Briefing
February 15, 2012
We’ll begin the meeting at 6:00pm with an executive session regarding a proposed
annexation agreement. This is expected to last until 7:00pm.
On the consent agenda, in addition to the minutes from the last meeting, is a resolution
adopting the National Incident Management System. This is a housekeeping matter as
we have operationally adopted this system and have been training our staff accordingly.
However, since Homeland Security Directive 5 requires adoption of this system, and we
discussed formal adoption at our last training session, we are recommending approval of
this resolution.
Also on the consent agenda are three final plats, see the Planners Briefing for details.
The Chamber of Commerce will be providing a presentation outlining the new features of
their website and the status of the Key Card Program.
The Headwater Trails folks will be present to outline their 2012 work plan, especially as it
relates our goals of improving our trails systems within the Fraser Valley.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional
information.

TOWN OF FRASER
RESOLUTION NO. 2012-02-02
A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (NIMS)
WHEREAS
, the Town of Fraser, Colorado (the "Town"), is a municipal corporation duly
organized and operating as a statutory town under the Constitution and laws of the State of Colorado;
and,
WHEREAS,
pursuant to the authority vested in the Office of the Governor of the State of
Colorado, Governor Owens issued an Executive Order concerning the designation of the National
Incident Management System (“NIMS”) as the basis for all incident management in the State of
Colorado.
WHEREAS,
the President of the United States, in the Homeland Security Directive (HSPD)-5,
directed the Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security to develop and
administer a national incident management system, which would provide a consistent nationwide
approach for Federal, State, local and tribal governments to work together more effectively and
efficiently to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from domestic incidents, regardless of
cause, size, or complexity. In addition the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks (9-11
Commission) recommended adoption of a standardized Incident Command System.
WHEREAS,
the Board of Trustees of the Town of Fraser agrees that in order to facilitate the
most efficient and effective incident management it is critical that Federal, State, local, and tribal
organizations utilize standardized terminology, standardized organizational structures, interoperable
communications, consolidated action plans, unified command structures, uniform personnel
qualification standards, uniform standards for planning, training, and exercising, comprehensive
resource management, and designated incident facilities during emergencies or disasters.
WHEREAS,
the Board also understands that the NIMS standardized procedures for managing
personnel, communications, facilities and resources will improve Colorado’s ability to utilize federal
funding to enhance local and state agency readiness, maintain first responder safety and streamline
incident management processes.
WHEREAS,
the Board understands all components have not been created and that the Town
of Fraser is adopting only those components which have been created and will continue to evaluate
the progress of the NIMS implementation and its effect on the Town of Fraser as follows:
Standardized organizational structures, processes and procedures;
Standards for planning, training and exercising, and personnel qualification standards;
Equipment acquisition and certification standards;
Interoperable communications processes, procedures and systems;
Information management systems; and
Supporting technologies – voice and data communications systems, information systems, data
display systems and specialized technologies.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF FRASER, COLORADO
THAT:
The Board of Trustees for the Town of Fraser does hereby adopt the National Incident Management
System (N.I.M.S.) as the basis for all incident management in the Town of Fraser, Colorado which
includes the following:
Standardized organizational structures, processes and procedures;
Standards for planning, training and exercising, and personnel qualification standards;
Equipment acquisition and certification standards;
Interoperable communications processes, procedures and systems;
Information management systems; and
Supporting technologies – voice and data communications systems, information systems, data
display systems and specialized technologies.

Clerks Update
February 15, 2012
Wow crazy times in the Clerk’s office. By this meeting date petitions will have been available for
th
2 days, beginning on February 13. I encourage everyone who plans on circulating a petition to
get them returned to me as soon as possible so I can get the names cured and the ballot
prepared.
I have been busy chairing the newly formed safety committee. We’ve got a great group of
people assembled to help with safety awareness throughout the organization.
I’ve also been working on a candidate orientation and a Mayor/Trustee orientation after the
election.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.

Finance Update: 02/15/2012
Prepared: 02/08/2012
I was hoping to have received the Town’s December Sales Tax receipts prior to the packet going
out…but I am up against my deadlines, so if it comes in prior to the packet going out I will at least
get the report in, if not I will update you at next week’s meeting – keeping my fingers crossed for a
really big number!
Finally getting the year-end office change out completed – just in time for the auditors to show up
and make a mess of things once again! This week and next week will be focused on generating
all the reports requested by the audit team as well as wrapping up all those year-end journal
entries. We are darn close to completing any carrybacks of 2011 expenses, and December’s
sales tax is the last outstanding revenue to be received from 2011. From Nancy and my vantage
point, 2011 was a very routine year, nothing out of the ordinary, just a normal financial year, so
the end of year preparations seem mild this year – and we will both be happy to move onto 2012
with full focus as soon as the audit is completed!
I will repeat myself here; as always I would encourage you to contact our auditors with any
questions or concerns that you might have. Paul Backes of McMahan and Associates can be

and a new team member this year Jill. Paul will arrive on the morning of February 22. I would
expect the team to leave Thursday evening, unless there are any issues discovered (I can
guarantee none to be found!) which would delay their departure until Friday. Please feel free to
drop into Town Hall and speak with Paul and any of his employees during their audit
engagement, and if there is enough interest I am sure Paul could be talked into having lunch with
any interested Trustees.
As always please contact me with any questions or concerns you might have: 726-5491 X206 or

January 2012 Monthly Report
During the month of January, we handled a total of 181 calls for service. This is a 24% increase from
January, 2011, so we were noticeably busier than we were at this time last year. Of those calls, 116
were in the Town of Winter Park, and 52 of those were in Fraser. We also issued 25 citations in Winter
Park and 20 in the Town of Fraser.
We conducted the initial stages of our hiring process on January, administering both a written
examination and oral interviews. Through this process, we have identified two individuals that we have
given conditional job offers to. One is a Grand County native who is currently attending the police
academy in Glenwood Springs, and the second is a Denver native who is currently serving as a police
officer in North Little Rock Arkansas. It is our hope that we will have both individuals hired and working
for us by no later than June 1.
Kyle Sandusky resigned from our department on February 3; however Brett Schroetlin began working
nd
for us full-time on February 2.
If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to call me.
PUBLIC WORKS BRIEFING

WATER~
Staff has been working diligently on finalizing an Emergency Response plan for
our water system. Once it is complete, anyone interested in reviewing the plan
can stop by the town hall to look at our office copy.
Keeping up with the nuisance snow fallsPW would really like to have a steady
supply of the fluffy to push around soon!!
th
St. Louis creek breach- following our meeting on January 30 with the property
owner it was agreed that Fraser would make edits to the design plans as agreed
on and forward them to the owner for a final review. Once approved by owner, he
is to submit an approval letter so that Fraser can resubmit the application to the
USACE. In addition, the property owner has asked for liability immunity from the
Town and Army Coprs in perpetuity for the work that is to be done. The manager
is taking a stab at drafting a MOU addressing this owner requirement.
SANITARY SEWER~
Continue reviewing inspection videos
STREETS~
Working on 2012 chip seal and drainage CIP to bring in front of the board for
consideration and subsequent approval.
STREETSCAPES / GARDENING~
Town Gardener is working on the hanging basket program for 2012, the annual
ordering of planting stock and a potential tree planting grant program.
OTHER~
The Sulpher Ranger District introduced their Roadside Hazard Project at the local Grand
County Utility Coordination Committee on Thursday 2/9 which is slated to begin this
summer. (Although there is still the potential for Arapahoe Bay Road to start any time,
that window for that road segment runs out in March due to Osprey nesting. Since this
project will temporarily close roads as it rolls across the forest from June-November (and
again in summer 2013) they need to assess the various utility groups' summer/fall
access needs so that they can work with the contractor to determine how best to
accommodate them. They have a very aggressive program for this ranging from the area
south of WP and to the north of RMNP, over to SH125 and as far east as the Meadow
Creek Reservoir area. They indicated that information is available on their web site and
once the project is underway they will have daily updates on road closures as well as
their project progress. The District is available to attend a board meeting to provide
elected officials with a comprehensive update if so desired.

RE: Hwy 40 Transportation Issues w/ Winter Park
Honorable Mayor Cook and Town Trustees:
STATE OF COLORADO
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Recently, CDOT staff has been made aware of differing requests for access to the US 40 corridor by
the Town of Fraser, the Town of Winter Park, and several local developments. Specifically, several
traffic signals in close proximity have been requested near the southern boundary of Fraser.
Unfortunately, we simply cannot accommodate all of these requests due to the desired tight spacing.
CDOT's mission is to provide the best multi modal transportation system for Colorado that most
effectively moves people, goods, and information. Local governing agencies are our partners as we
manage the highways, where we strive to maintain safe highways and balance local transportation
networks and property owners' needs. We recognize that US 40 is the lifeblood for Fraser and
Winter Park, allowing for the influx of tourism dollars into the local communities as well as the
State. Managing accesses onto the highway is critical to keep the highways safe while allowing local
businesses to thrive and prosper. With local input, CDOT can better manage the highway's to
protect the community's interests and needs, as a whole.
Placing traffic signals closely together on the highway does not meet the requirements of the State
Highway Access Code (Code). The spacing in the Code is based on traffic operations, which have
been proven on other highways across the state. As you are aware, the US 40 corridor currently has
operational challenges, especially on ski weekends with the ski traffic. The addition of closely
spaced signals would increase the operational challenges and could potentially decrease safety for the
traveling public.
CDOT staff has been working with staff from both the Town of Winter Park and the Town of Fraser
to try to find solutions for the access locations to US 40. The most common practice in similar
situations is the development of an access control plan (ACP). ACP's allow for input from the local
agencies, developers, property owners, and community members in a planning process where CDOT
considers local planning efforts. Another option is to have a smaller community focus group that
addresses a specific area rather than a longer corridor section in an ACP. Either process helps CDOT
staff determine how to best provide access to US 40 to benefit both the highway and the local
communities.
It is our understanding that the Town of Fraser's Town Council has decided not to participate in an
ACP or a smaller focus group. In the absence of an ACP, CDOT staff will make access
determinations based on the Code and traffic operations for the corridor. I respectfully request that
the Town consider participating in an ACP for US 40. Your valuable input will help us better
understand your community, your plans, and your needs as we determine how to manage the
highway both now and into the future.
If you have any questions regarding what an access plan is, what it would look like, and how the
process works, please feel free to contact either myself at (970)683 -6203 or Zane Znamenacek at
(970)683 -6275. We would be happy to share with you our successes in other communities in
developing these plans.

Dear Mayors and Managers,
The 2012 Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon is rapidly approaching. We would like to
invite the cities of Colorado once again to compete.
Beginning this year, we are changing the name of the Municipal Cup to the Government
Cup. Over the past couple of years, we have seen increased interest from county and state
government employees in participating, so we decided to evolve the event into the
Government Cup and open the competition and camaraderie to all Colorado government
employees. Hats off to city teams though, who took a CLEAN SWEEP in all award categories
in 2011 when we had a small group of other government entities that participated!
The incentives are strong to compete in the Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon Government Cup.
Win funds for a local nonprofit. Kaiser Permanente is sponsoring cash donations for the
Government Cup this year. In 2012, there will be 12 awards, totaling $21,000. Cash prizes
will be awarded for 1st through 4th place in each division (men's, women's, coed). Winning
teams can designate these awards to a nonprofit in YOUR town. Wouldn't it be nice to run
with some colleagues for a nonprofit, and then present a check to your local nonprofit at a
City Council meeting?
Promote healthy habits and lifestyle. The Government Cup is a great way for employees
to work together towards their own health and wellness goals, and to set an example to
other employees and the community.
Bragging rights! Will West Metro beat Aurora Fire? Will the mountain towns smoke
Denver OED, or better yet, a state agency? Will an elected team ever beat an employee
team? A little friendly competition can be very entertaining.
The Kaiser Permanente Marathon Relay will start and end in Denver's beautiful City Park on
Sunday, May 20, 2012. Registration is now open. Government employees and elected officials in
Colorado, plus their immediate family members, are eligible to participate. Have your team
captains register their teams today at tivw Details on prize awards are attached.
For additional information please contact Linda Morton, Iinda_c_morton @msn.com, or call the
Marathon offices at 303 770 -9600.

MEMO TO: Byers Peak Properties
FROM: Fraser Town Board
DATE: February 15, 2012
SUBJECT: Byers Peak Ranch
It had been our impression that there have been productive discussions between Byers Peak
Properties and our Annexation Committee; however, based upon the latest draft provided by
Byers Peak Properties it seems that there has been little change in position on key substantive
matters since the first draft provided to the Town almost a year ago. We are concerned that
there seems to be some misunderstanding regarding some of the more significant terms that
the Town of Fraser is willing to accept. This memo is provided to ensure that there is a clear
understanding of the Town’s position.
In lieu of bringing water rights to serve the development per the Town’s annexation
policies, water facilities would be provided (specifically, augmentation facilities). As the
Town would be relying upon provision of the augmentation facilities as an important
component of its efforts to ensure a reliable supply of water to the community, it will
need firm and specific assurances that these facilities will be constructed properly and in
a timely manner.
Water Plant Investment Fees cannot be rebated to the developer as reimbursement of
its infrastructure costs as these funds will be necessary to improve/construct Town water
source facilities necessary to serve the development. Some portion of these may be
considered toward the cost of constructing the augmentation facilities not necessary to
serve BPR, however, the net cost of constructing these facilities and the amount
necessary to serve BPR has not been determined (and these facilities would be
provided in lieu of bringing water rights to serve the development).
Sanitary Sewer Plant Investment Fees cannot be used to reimburse the developer for its
sewer infrastructure costs. These funds will be necessary for use related to the Town’s
treatment plant expansion costs.
All development on the property must be served by the public water and sewer system,
except for the phase out provisions related to the Colorado Adventure Park, or as may
be otherwise approved by the Town.
Streets within the development must be private streets, with the exception of CR73,
CR72, the Fraser Valley Parkway, and Road A. Maintenance and design standards
shall be reflective of such ownership. The Town would consider public local streets only
if appropriate funding mechanisms are put in place to address maintenance costs
associated with these streets.
The gravel operations component of the proposed agreement remains a concern. The
latest proposed language provides inadequate measures to ensure that the interests of
the community can be addressed. There will need to be specific operational controls
and enforcement measures to ensure that this operation does not create negative
impacts and that the Town has the ability to address any problems that may arise.
Further, it has been our understanding that these operations would be specific to
construction of water augmentation facilities, not a long term commercial gravel
operation.
Please note that this is a summary of our position on what seems to be the more significant
matters, especially those matters where we seem to lack substantive agreement. While we
appreciate the need for the project to be economically viable, it is critical that the Town not
compromise its financial position to accommodate the project. This summary is not all inclusive
and there are a variety of other provisions in the agreement that would require refinement to the
specific language. However, as the parties seem to be moving in different directions we felt it
critical that we confirm our understanding and reach agreement on the matters above prior to
proceeding any further with the agreement.
Accordingly, given the significant differences in our positions on these matters, and the other
th
items yet to be resolved, we have concluded that a hearing on this matter on March 7 is
premature and we have directed staff to cancel this hearing.

Fraser Walk Through History Park Foundation Board
PO Box 898
Fraser, CO 80442
Dear Board of Directors:
It has come to our attention that the Fraser Walk Through History Park Foundation’s tax exempt
status has been revoked by the United States Department of Treasury Internal Revenue
Service.
I am writing on behalf of the Town of Fraser to formally request that the Foundation repay the
Town of Fraser for the loan that the Town provided the Foundation in 2003 in the amount of
$4,500. At a minimum, we would request that the Foundation forward the funds currently held
in its checking account in the amount of $2,749.44.
While the Town Board is extremely appreciative of all the work the Foundation completed on
behalf of the community, it is apparent that the foundation is no longer a functioning body and
the Town would like to recoup these funds prior to dissolution of the Foundation. It is our
understanding that the Foundation Board is not in compliance with the minimum meeting
requirements, and as evidenced by the revocation of tax exempt status the Foundation is not in
compliance with 501(c)(3) rules since at least May 15, 2011.
Again, we appreciate all of your efforts and the Town of Fraser will continue to proudly operate
and manage the Walk Through History Park as local landmark.
Sincerely,
Fran Cook
Mayor
