Basalt Town Council Minutes February 13, 2018 4. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS/COMMENTS Jennifer Riffle asked about the status of the tiny library in town. Auden Schendler said he and staff were seeking good sites for the little libraries. Ryan Mahone said he had reached out to the Sopris Meadows HOA to see if they would like a Tiny Library near the new playground. Their HOA meets in March. Jenn added that a citizen had suggested to her that a Tiny Library be located by Arbaney Park. Auden asked to be put in touch with that citizen for future interest in helping to maintain a Tiny Library. Auden Schendler said he spoke with Ryan about the formula Pitkin County has for housing employees and suggested Ryan speak to Pitkin County Manager Jon Peacock about their variety of financing approaches, participation from the County, etc., and have a more involved conversation about this in the future. This deals with town employees, but could bleed over to be a BACH process later. Jacque Whitsitt noted the letter from Vice President Pence recognizing our local athletes representing the US at the winter Olympics. Jacque further recognized local valley athletes representing the US at the Olympics: Wiley Maple, Aspen, Simi Hamilton, Noah Hoffman and Alex Ferreira all of Aspen, Torin Yater-Wallace of Basalt, and Red Gerard from Silverthorne, and Ariel Gold of Steamboat Springs. 5.

Ryan noted Pitkin County started their river park improvements to allow people to sneak down the left side of the river without having to commit to the wave or the hole as they kayak down. People will still need good skills during high waters to navigate through the hole. Ryan also felt the County was at a point that the local subcommittee could begin to set some meetings to discuss future improvements at the whitewater/river park. Bernie asked about warning signage for kayakers as good skills will even be needed for the sneak-around section. Mark Kittle noted there was guardrail as you come down the driveway from the Meyer s property, but there wasn t any guard rail as you come out of Elk Run Drive.
