I am glad to see this being reviewed. Vacation home rentals are an important service in a ski town. They should keep high standards and work with neighbors but shouldn't be subject to more than is necessary, regulation-wise.

Rombergs honored

- Bud and Jane, to me, represent the very best of Steamboat, and they deserve this recognition. Congratulations!

- Mr. Romberg was my chemistry teacher in high school. It was a hard class, but he did a great job teaching the students, and pushing us to do better. Thanks Mr. Romberg!!

Steamboat 700 petition

- For petition collectors it's been great getting out and talking with all of our neighbors. People in our community are thinking about Steamboat 700, sharing there knowledge and opinions with others directly and through forums like this one. Nice work Steamboat Springs.

- One of the things we need to remind ourselves consistently is to approach any decision that affects the Yampa Valley in the context of a stewardship. No one owns the Yampa Valley. We only get to enjoy it for a time.

We have benefited from the wise decisions of those that have come before us. We have the responsibility to benefit those that will follow us. John Fetcher, Bill Hill, Jim Temple, etc., had a philosophy of stewardship and although they are now gone - this place is better for their involvement and leadership.

Discussion of economy

With the exception of Kyle, everyone seems to think focusing on tourism is still the answer to solving our economic woes. ... Some say that what sets Steamboat apart from other similar vacation destinations is that we are actually a real town where people with careers can live year round; that we are family-oriented; that young professionals could & should choose Steamboat as their home. ... Even if that still may be a little bit true, are we doing things that keep us moving in that direction? Or are we focusing energy on things that alter the course?

The goal should be to lose the term Shoulder Season. Wouldn't it be great if in 10 years a Main Street retail or restaurant owner was staffing up instead of down in the spring & fall? Picture an old timer saying "Remember mud season?" to a downtown retail shop owner who says, "what's that?"

I would like to hear ideas & strategies that move us toward being a town that happens to have a resort rather than towards a resort that has the IMAGE of being a town.
