Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members (5 min.) Dietz provided an update regarding the Short-Term Rental (STR) annual license fees based on the recent first reading at Town Council. The council agreed to adding an annual fee of $1,200 per bedroom, annually, and to change the registration from February to June. That fee would generate just over $8M applicable to housing and conversation ensued around the regulations and tracking of the program which is monitored through the finance department. The Authority supports passing of the changes presented in preparation for the second reading based on consensus. CDOT East Vail has not closed but it is scheduled to close at the end of the month. Lindstrom and Deitz provided an update regarding the LPC Grant. An executed agreement has been completed with Mauriello Planning Group (MPG) to streamline workforce housing applications in effort to tighten up the entitlement process. Additional initiatives involve updates to residential linkage, commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning, all in aiming to fulfill Prop 123 initiatives. Housing staff is seeking a new program for EHU compliance to better streamline the process for both staff and EHU owners. Lindstrom suggested investigating the use of EHU mitigation bank and how it is tracked by other communities, such as Aspen. A Development Specialists/Planner position within the Housing Department will be posted sometime soon. Wiliams provided an update regarding the VLHA website, Authority emails, and next steps. The Authority members have been reaching out to the County Commissioners. Lindstrom has been attending quarterly meetings with County and the County Commissioners also attend those meetings. The Authority could still provide a memo to Senator Dylan Roberts and the Authority has the opportunity to continue to be in front commissioners with the ways that resort communities vary from urban areas and the AMI structure is significantly different. The Authority agrees that any touch points or connections are valuable and worth continued communication. The Housing Needs Assessment study is getting dangerously close to completion which should help with the future application towards Prop 123 funding for mountain communities. 7.
