The following were some of the concerns expressed by the Council: • will the youth be of the community or will they be from around the entire county. • first preference to go to youth within town limits. • where would they be located. • the safety of the youth if they are to be in the middle of the road. 9 proper training of participants. Page 14 Regular Meeting Minutes June 24, 1997 • providing them with bright colored vests • the age group . 18 to 24. • signage acknowledging their presence for assistance. .Larry Lopez, representing Taos Merchants Association, felt it was a very important project. The Ambassadors are the first people tourists will encounter and it is important that they are older than 14 & 15 year olds and that they are very highly trained. Rocky Mountain Youth Corp. will be doing the recruiting, screening, and he knows they will be top applicants. This could serve as a pilot program, it could be a 6 week program initially, however, it could work for us if there is going to be road construction for next 5 years.

The Meeting will take place at the Town Hall Conference Room, 400 Camino de la Placita on the date time indicated above. The Agenda is as follows: 1. CALL TO ORDER BY THE HONORABLE MAYOR FREDERICK A. PERALTA 2. ROLL CALL 3. APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA 4. DISCUSSION Advertisement of the Taos Pueblo on the Chile Line. 5. EMERGENCY WATER HOOK-UP ' Consideration of a request by Mr. John Jeantette, located off Los Pandos Road in Taos, for an emergency hook-up to the Town's water system. 6. ADJOURNMENT Frederick A. Peralta, Mayor t Key Points for Public Transportation Agreement with Town of Taos 1. 2 bus stops initially - one at the Pueblo and one at the casino. 2. Anyone boarding the bus at the Pueblo or casino rides for free. The tourist who rides the bus to the Pueblo or casino has probably already received a transfer, and so this arrangement does not significantly reduce fees paid by riders who are tourists. As for local tribal members, unless they have another way to return to the Pueblo, they still will have to purchase a bus ticket to get home - but since they rode free one way it feels like they rode for '/z price. 3. Advertising. In exchange for a$1,500 monthly fee, each Town bus will carry external signage advertising Taos Mountain Casino and, if the Governor's Office agrees, the Pueblo itself. Having the Pueblo as advertising greatly increases the appeal of riding the bus for tourists who intend to visit the Pueblo anyway, and so this should be attractive to the Town. The problems with this arrangement are the Town's current policy against exterior advertising on the busses, the Town sign ordinance, and the Town's procurement policy. We can overcome most of these problems by emphasizing that this is a government-to-government agreement which is not bound by rules which govern the Town's policies regarding private vendors, etc. Furthermore, we are offering to pay a premium (busses in Roswell charge $425/month for exterior advertising)which is much higher than other businesses would be willing to pay. Our alternative, if the Town rejects our request for a tasteful advertisement on the busses, would be a big gaudy sign on the La Tuatah property. 4. Extended hours& Casino express. During peak periods (weekends and probably every day throughout the summer) we will request that hours for bus operation be extended past the normal quitting time, up to about 1:00 a.m. But rather than stop at the regular bus stops, these busses would be"casino express" busses which would stop at approx. 6 - 8 hotels of our choosing. This is our basis for selling"casino packages" in conjunction with participating hotels to a new market of visitor to the Taos area. 5. Future Considerations. A) In the future we expect to relocate visitor parking outside Taos Neblo and shuttle tourists to and from the village. We expect to utilize the Town's Public Transit system to do this and expect to contribute to the equipment pool and the operating budget to run the system. B) If Chili Line ridership increases and justifies additional equipment, Taos Pueblo will take advantages of grant opportunities to secure more busses, but would seek a relationship with the Town for the operation and maintenance of the equipment, as well as coordination with existing public transit. C) If Taos Pueblo ridership warrants additional stops, these will be requested. If the bus is a popular transportation option, we may wish to add a stop at the Taos-Picuris Health Center.

Drawer M Taos, NM 87571 Dear Mayor Peralta: Please accept our invitation to meet with us and members of our staffs in order to form a government- to-government agreement to extend bus transportation services onto Taos Pueblo land. We have tentatively scheduled this meeting as follows: DATE: Tuesday, June 10, 1997 TIME: 10:00 a.m. LOCATION: Taos Pueblo Governor's Office With the arrival of the summer tourism season, Taos Pueblo shares all the problems associated with vehicular traffic on our roads and in our village. Extension of the bus routes onto Taos Pueblo lands would not only afford our own people the convenience of public transportation, but would also take some visitor cars off the road. It would also, no doubt, increase ridership since the Pueblo is a primary visitor destination. The matter of bringing Town transportation services onto Pueblo land is sensitive and not without controversy. We believe we have developed a proposal which overcomes some of those objections and allows both the Town and the Pueblo to benefit. We are anxious to share it with you on Tuesday. Please contact our office at 758-9593 to confirm our meeting. Sincerely, John . omero rederick Lujan, Sr. Governor WarChief 1HUO WuNly EMI-n PAGE 02 Im Water Test Date 01/16196 Received by Received Date 01/16/96 WATER TREAT S "6'" 1 Analysis Only)* "Our Products Fix Your Water" Please note sulphur will dissipate too quickly to allow accurate testing of samples received in the lab.
