To Members of the Vail Town Council,
I’ve been serving on the Town of Vail Design Review Board (DRB) since March 2023. During
my time on the DRB, I feel I’ve been an impartial critic as well as a Board member willing to
refer to the TOV Design Guidelines and suggest design revisions to align projects with the intent
of the Guidelines. I’ve progressed from a “rookie” Board member in year one to Assistant Chair
to date.
I’m writing you to express my interest in continuing on the Board for the two years commencing
on April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2027.
Respectfully Submitted,

From 1983 to 2018 Herb Roth, Jeff Sheppard, and Roth Sheppard Architects developed a
resource for local, regional, and international justice agencies seeking facility and operational
assessments leading to facility master plans and design assistance in their implementation.
Recognized internationally for justice planning, needs assessments and design expertise, Herb
Roth has set new standards for future generation justice facilities and has impacted other
architect’s work, court and law enforcement and the communities they serve. His work on over
50 public safety projects located from Prince George’s County, Maryland to Kauai County,
Hawaii, to E Division RCMP HQ, Surrey BC has provided insight and understanding of the
varied operational and organizational structures of municipal and government agencies and the
appropriate planning and design strategies utilized to create optimum working environments for
