Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Line: (970) 726-5518 Manager's Briefing, May 16, 1997 Wednesday night's meeting will begin with a workshop that includes discussions with the Chamber of Commerce, and Maryvale regarding their new PDD plan and proposed timetable. Then I am requesting a brief executive session (10 minutes) to discuss a personnel isslle. Please see the enclosed memos about the Chamber and the personnel issue, staffand Maryvale will be bringing information about the new PDD plan and timetable on Wednesday. The regular meeting is fairly light and should allow us ample time to discuss amendments to the subdivision regulations. In addition to the amendments, the Board disclIssed an issue related to floodplain mapping back in March and staff has enclosed a recommendation on how we should move forward on this issue. During the last regular meeting, the Board amended minutes from April 16th relative to a motion made during the discussion on waiving parking fines for intoxicated parkers. I went back and played the audio tape from the 4/16/97 meeting to verify the original motion. A copy ofthat transcript is included and shows that the minutes accurately reflected the tpotion. I felt compelled to bring this back to you for two reasons: first, I believe that staff does a good job recording and implementing the direction that you provide and second, since this is the second time something like this has occurred in the past few months, I again want to try, during meetings, to accurately restate motions back to you (and to us) prior to any voting. Finally, I left the last meeting feeling like it would be beneficial for the Board and statTto discuss some of the broader issues facing Fraser in some detail. To this end, I would like to proposed that we look for some extended time in the near future (sometime in the next three months) where we could plan a good two day retreat. I would like to do this someplace other than the Fraser River Valley, which would involve a one-night stay. Your thoughts on the best time to do this and the best place would be appreciated. See you Wednesday! . . TOWN OF FRASER "Icebox of the Nation" P.O.

Of the six, one applicant got another job before we interviewed and one applicant didn't have the background we wanted for the position. Therefore, our interview pool was down to four applicants. Of these four, we have been unable to reach two (we have called at all times of the day). Of the two we interviewed, the applicant we liked best is Brenden Bridge, Dave Bridge's son and Jim Tucker's great-nephew(?). When we interviewed to fill this position last time, I expressed concern to the Board and to Jim about hiring family members. We discussed this and hired the best applicant -- Dave Bridge, Jim's nephew. Fortunately, Dave has turned-out to be a good employee. Now we're faced with a similar issue -- but one that may be more complex. Both Jim and I have mixed feelings about hiring Brenden: one from a personnel management standpoint and one from a public perception standpoint. However, of the applicant pool, Brenden is our first choice. Jim and I would like some general policy direction on this from the Board and are requesting a brief executive session at the end of the workshop on Wednesday night to discuss the same. . ýÿ . . . -'. TOWN OF FRASER "Icebox of the Nation" P.O. Box 120/153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Une: (970) 726-5518 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Jo~ns~ae Town Board Members From: Chuck ReId (i Date: April 1, 1997 Subject: Floodplain Mapping A few weeks ago, staff asked for background information on Fraser's Floodplain Ordinance. If you recall, the discussion revolved around the need to do additional floodplain mapping -- and who would pay for this mapping. Following this discussion, I met with Ed Opitz and John Liou from FEMA regarding the same. Mr. Liou informed us that Fraser can operate under its existing floodplain mapping status (an emergency status) with the only "consequences" being that floodplain insurance costs more now than if we did complete mapping and there is a cap on the amount that can be insured. At our request, FEMA will completely map Fraser's floodways, which will decrease flood insurance costs and remove the cap. However, this process may take up to five years. In the interim, we can request a change in our floodplain mapping status which will not reduce insurance costs, but it will remove the cap. Staff recommends requesting FEMA to do the mapping and that we also request a change in our status from "emergency" to whatever will remove the cap. ýÿ '7'. . . .

Box 1~0 /153 Fraser Avenue Fraser, Colorado 80442 (970) 726-5491 FAX Une: (970) 726-5518 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor JOhnS~~Town Board Mempers From: Chuck Reid Date: May 8, 1997 Subject: A portion of the verbatim transcript from 4/16/97 The verbatim transcript from the 4/16/97 Town Board meeting (SmartShuttle discussion) reads: JJ: "Well, I think this needs a motion." LM: I move that anyone who gets a ticket because they took the smartshuttle home, got a taxi home, or rode with their friend home could get a note from their friend and that their fine be discounted to 5 bucks and that go to the smartshuttle and that the second offense be discounted to 10 bucks and that go to the smartshuttle and after that there are no discounts, no nothing (indecipherable). CS: Now I have a question. NH: This needs a second, first. . . CS: Second J some discussion re: administration, timing, etc. A vote was called for. Approved 7-0 I wanted to point this out as this is the second time that (staff believes) the Board has amended the minutes on an action item that was correctly recorded in the minutes. In the future, staff is going to attempt to read-back the motion to make sure that we're all on the same page. For the next Board meeting, I'd like it if we adopted the 4/16/97 minutes as originally recorded and then, if you want to reconsider the motion, you can adopt the no fine/$5 fine approach. ýÿ
