What is your work history from the last five (5) years?
I was self employed in commercial real estate for 30 years with my last major endeavor
involving repurposing century old industrial buildings into office and retail uses. I currently
work part time (mostly remote) managing family properties in the RiNo neighborhood in
Denver. I've owned property in Vail for 11 years and have recently made Vail my permanent
home.
Which Boards would you like to apply for?
Art in Public Places: Submitted
Why are you interested in serving on this board?
This opportunity is ideal for me because it brings together my passion for public art with my
desire to connect with and contribute to the Vail community.

• What unique and particular qualifications do you bring to the position?
Please provide specific examples.
Commitment to Artists and Public Art: - My family carved out about 4,500 sq. ft. of our
Bindery on Blake project and built out 14 art studios that we rented on a MTM basis to artists
at deeply discounted rents. We ran these studios for two years until our biggest tenant
expanded into the studio space. To keep the studios open, we rented a 4,500 sq. ft. space
down the street at market rents, re-built the 14 studios, subsidized the rents and moved our
artist community in for another 5-years. The RiNo Art District took over the operations after
that and the studios live on today. - We have happily ‘contributed’ many large and small
walls to the various street art festivals over the years.
What is your experience serving on other Boards?
Board Experience: - 6 years on the board of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative as
Treasurer. CCHI advances the consumer voice to improve access to health care for all
Coloradans by working statewide for progress toward equity, affordability, and quality. - 9-
years on the board for St. Anne’s Episcopal School (PK-8) in Denver which included 5-years
as Treasurer and co-chairing the Strategic Planning Committee. - 4-years on the Board of for
the High Mountain Institute (HMI) in Leadville as chair of the Committee on Trustees and
later as Treasurer. HMI is primarily an academic and wilderness semester school for
motivated college-bound juniors. - 3-years on the board of Big City Mountaineers, a non-
profit organization that offers wilderness mentoring expeditions for under-served urban
youth.
What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
While I don't have an education in art or art history I truly appreciate all the richness public
art brings to communities. Besides my board experience set forth above, I have a
background in finance which may or may not be useful. I'm used to serving on working
boards and I'll show up and do the work. I'm a quick study and am good at playing with
others in our side of the sandbox - once I figure out how that works.
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
To curate, expand and maintain Vail's public art collection.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
I'm not aware of any what I would call obstacles. I'd guess that some of the top major
priorities might include the selection and integration of the Dobson public art and any
remaining unfinished items from the strategic plan. Also, I've never been involved with a
non-profit where funding wasn't a constant priority.
Do you have any conflicts of interest that may arise due to your employment,
personal and/or professional relationships, or financial interests in the Town
of Vail?
Yes No

Question applies to Art in Public Places
Why is public art important to the Vail community?
Public art enhances and transforms public spaces with aesthetic appeal, reflects Vail's
history and values, and offers educational, interactive, and entertaining experiences. It
makes Vail a memorable destination for residents and visitors alike, benefiting the town,
businesses, and residents.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What do you most enjoy about Vail's Art in Public Places program?
I'd say I enjoy AIPP’s robust collection of art that can surprise with sometimes unexpected
locations and a wide variation of art and subject matter ranging from playful and whimsical
to commemoration of the valley’s history.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What would you like to see for the Art in Public Places in the future, including
the Artist in Residency program and Studio? Will you be able to bring
concepts for programs, artists, and installations forth for Board discussion
and consideration?
I think your Strategic Plan outlines many of the things I would like to see such as continuing
to develop diversity within the artists, their styles and materials pertaining to both the Artist
in Studio and Residency programs. I like the idea of bringing art to outlying communities and
developing community engagement and temporary installations to promote awareness of
AIPP’s programs. I look forward to contributing concepts for programs, artists, and
installations the Board’s discussion and consideration.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
Art in Public Places meets on the first Monday of each month at 8:00AM.

What is your work history from the last five (5) years?
I worked in corporate finance in Chicago from 2015-2021. Since moving to the Vail Valley I
have worked for the Vail Valley Foundation as both a Finance Manager and part time ticket
scanner. I have worked for Venture Sports tuning skis. For the last two years I have been the
Development Manager with Bravo! Vail Music Festival, our community's largest arts &
culture nonprofit. Outside of paid positions I hold a number of volunteer roles that impact
our community including a committee member on the Town of Avon's Culture Arts & Special
Events Committee, Executive Treasurer for Eagle County Gives, Board Co-Chair for BodyKind
Vail, Master of Ceremonies for This Is My Brave - Eagle County presented by SpeakUp
ReachOut, Mentor with SOS Outreach & YouthPower 365 Scholarship Program, and volunteer
with Mountain Pride, SpeakUp ReachOut, Eagle Valley Community Foundation. I love this
community and I love to support it.
Which Boards would you like to apply for?
Art in Public Places: Submitted
Why are you interested in serving on this board?
I am finally a resident of Vail and now qualify to serve on the boards and committee here,
but I have been an engaged participant in civic on goings for the last two years. I want to
serve my community, and I want to utilize my professional and personal skills and passions
to continue growing and expanding the amazing work that has been done in this town to
support art and culture.

• What unique and particular qualifications do you bring to the position?
Please provide specific examples.
I work for the community and the town's largest arts & culture nonprofit. I serve on the Town
of Avon's CASE committee which I have developed relationships with local artists,
representatives from the Vail Valley Art Guild, and other stakeholders in the larger arts
community here in Eagle County. I also wrote a Grant for a mural at Homestake Peak School.
Sadly, we weren't selected but it was a great learning experience in arts funding.
What is your experience serving on other Boards?
For the last year I have been a committee member on the Town of Avon's Culture Arts &
Special Events Committee. I am Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of Bodykind Vail. I serve
on the Executive Committee for Eagle County Gives. Finally in my fulltime job with Bravo!
Vail Music Festival I am a staff representative on both our Community Relations Committee
and our Marketing & Development Committee
What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
In being part of a mural jury selection committee, I learned about the process of selection.
Additionally following the selection process for Dobson art was interesting to hear the
questions on longevity, upkeep, and preservation of art especially art we intend to place
outside in the mountains. I'm also a connector and this community needs more of that. We
need people to connect the dots between the various organizations and municipalities to
make this a vibrant and beautiful place to live. I would further the mission of this board by
continuing to support and advocate for additional and lasting public art in our community.
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
To continue on the path ahead and promote, grow, build more public art and art events in
our community. To advocate for more art in every piece of public development going
forward. Activate the Vail Art Studio with local & visiting artists.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
There are no obstacles only opportunities, it's all about perspective. "No mistakes just happy
accidents" -Bob Ross. The biggest obstacle facing this board would be in a Town so busy and
full of exciting growth and difficult challenges advocating that art and culture are crucial
parts of our continued development as a community. In a town and county which we
constantly discuss housing (rightfully so) it's important to remember that even as we
develop more places to live we continue to make this town a place people WANT to live
through cultural vibrancy.

Question applies to Art in Public Places
Why is public art important to the Vail community?
Art is expression, art is resistance, art is representation, art is community, art is suicide
prevention, art is joy, pain, beauty, grief, art is the human experience. Art is important to
vail for the community building and space creation. It allows community members a place to
gather, relate, discuss, and connect. Art can be a safe place and safe vehicle to express the
challenges in our life and find comradery in those challenges. Vail can be a hard place to
live. Art can be the bridge that connects people. Aside from the personal, community, and
mental health benefits of art. I believe that art & cultural events can be one of the ways this
community begins developing a more year-round economy. Investing in art and culture
could unlock more art museums as year-round tourist destinations. Imagine a Leaf Peeping
Art Festival in October or a Mural Festival in May as we fill the village with visitors and locals
alike celebrating art in our community.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What do you most enjoy about Vail's Art in Public Places program?
I love the new Vail Art Studio and I'm so excited for the future of it. I see that being a real
launching pad for more artists in residencies in this community. As well as an exciting
creators space that have seen some grassroots activations with the new Vail Drawing Club.
We're starting to build some real momentum in this community around art and we can keep
that excitement going, I want to be part of that.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What would you like to see for the Art in Public Places in the future, including
the Artist in Residency program and Studio? Will you be able to bring
concepts for programs, artists, and installations forth for Board discussion
and consideration?
My pipe dream is to host an arts festival in May or October to better activate our mud &
shoulder season, respectively. There's a mural festival down in Greely, CO called Weld Walls
Mural Festival. I would be very interested in advocating for a similar event here.

What is your work history from the last five (5) years?
I have worked at ERWSD for the last five years, primarily in HR but have recently been taking
on risk/safety and housing.
Which Boards would you like to apply for?
Art in Public Places: Submitted
Why are you interested in serving on this board?
I’ve been interested in serving on a Town of Vail board for several years, and the Art in
Public Places board aligns closely with my personal interests. When I moved to Vail in 2007, I
came from a thriving arts community in North Carolina. At first, the arts here felt quieter and
less visible to me, but over time that changed as I discovered the library, the Vail Dance
Festival, and the many pieces of public art woven throughout town. As I got to know and love
the nooks and crannies of Vail, I began to appreciate how much creativity and culture
already exists here. In recent years, it has become even more apparent how art helps bring
our community together, not just aesthetically, but socially. I would love the opportunity to
contribute to that continued growth and help support the many ways art, music, and creative
expression enrich the Vail experience. Vail is known for skiing and luxury, but it is also a
dynamic community that values the outdoors, creativity, passion, and a uniquely vibrant
local culture. Serving on this board would be a meaningful way for me to help support and
expand that vision.

• What unique and particular qualifications do you bring to the position?
Please provide specific examples.
I thrive in analyzing feedback about the employee experience and have extensive
experience doing so through a variety of methodologies which I think could relate to taking
in the perspectives and feedback on installations and considering new art to bring to the
community. I view feedback as valuable data for decision-making, and I believe those skills
could be helpful to the board when considering priorities and opportunities, whether that’s
understanding what residents and visitors want to see, what the town hopes to showcase, or
even identifying ideas people may not yet realize they’re excited about. I’m also a creative
thinker and problem solver, which I enjoy bringing to collaborative environments. And on a
more personal note, I simply love art. Visiting museums and experiencing public art is one of
the primary things I seek out when I travel, so I bring the perspective of an enthusiastic “art
tourist” as well. I think that lens, alongside my analytical and creative approach, could be a
helpful addition to the board’s work.
What is your experience serving on other Boards?
I was the President of High County Human Resources Association, a local SHRM branch that
brought HR training to the high country.
What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
Project management, people management, analysis, and conflict management.
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
I see the primary role of the board as helping making sure that art is thoughtfully woven into
the Vail experience for both residents and visitors. Public art has a unique ability to surprise
and delight people as they move through a community. Someone may come to Vail for
skiing or the outdoors and unexpectedly encounter a piece of art that sparks curiosity,
reflection, or joy. I see the board’s role as helping foster that sense of discovery while
supporting artists and keep art as an integrated part of the town’s identity. As a board
member, I would see my role as helping promote that vision by thinking creatively,
dreaming a bit about what’s possible, and finding ways to thoughtfully incorporate art into
both the local and visitor experience.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
I see the biggest problems around art being no different than what they have been since the
dawn of time: money and politics.
Do you have any conflicts of interest that may arise due to your employment,

Question applies to Art in Public Places
Why is public art important to the Vail community?
I live at the bottom of Red Sandstone Road and used to run up the hill at Potato Patch during
COVID to spy on the Logan family collection of statues. When I saw TO THE EXTENT OF HOW
DEEP THE VALLEY IS AT SOME GIVEN TIME, I was struck and thought about it for days. I was
so happy when I saw it moved to the parking structure and hoped that the exposure of
having that installation there would inspire the same pondering in others. That is why art is
important in general, the lightning bolt effect. There are a ton of busy and driven people here
and art has the power to stop you in your tracks (or on the way to go make tracks in the
snow) to ponder and wonder. That's a beautiful thing.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What do you most enjoy about Vail's Art in Public Places program?
That it is accessible and that there have been more recent opportunities for the public to
participate like the art talks and drawing club.

What would you like to see for the Art in Public Places in the future, including
the Artist in Residency program and Studio? Will you be able to bring

I'd like to see art en plein air and the community contests. I'd like to see partnership of the
artist in residency program with Bravo, town live music and special events. I think i could
bring concepts for programs but would need help with artist and installation
recommendations,

Lover of Vail and all things Fun and Beautiful with
a High Degree of Common Sense and Low Degree
of Drama
Hello,
My name is Ali Kelkenberg. I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Art in
Public Places Board for the Town of Vail. I have lived in Vail since 2007 and have long
been interested in finding a way to serve the community through a Town board. The
mission of Art in Public Places aligns closely with my personal interests and with what I
value about living here.
Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate how art quietly enriches the Vail experience,
whether through installations throughout town, the library, or events like the dance
festival. Public art has the ability to surprise and delight people who may not expect it,
creating memorable moments for both residents and visitors. I would enjoy contributing
to the board’s work in continuing to weave art into the fabric of the community and
helping people discover something new each time they explore Vail.
On a personal note, I own my home in Vail and am raising my three-year-old son here.
While Vail is known for skiing and the outdoors, it’s important to me that he grows up
experiencing a community where the arts are also visible and valued. I would love to
help support the creative elements of our town so that the next generation grows up
seeing art as a natural and meaningful part of everyday life.
Thank you for your consideration. I would be honored to contribute my time and
perspective to the board and to the continued success of Art in Public Places.
Let’s rock,
Ali

I am eager to become more involved in our community at a town level. Vail is an incredible

What is your experience serving on other Boards?
I have limited experience. I have served on two boards that were very small and not super
organized. I was a the HOA president of Vail Sky High Condos for 6 years and I was on the
board of Big Heart Big Hands for 7 years. Both of these boards were fairly disorganized and I
am excited to see what an organized board can accomplish and teach me.
What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
My experience serving on boards includes six years as HOA president for Vail Sky High
Condos and seven years on the board of Big Heart Big Hands. While both boards were
relatively small and less structured, these experiences taught me valuable lessons about
leadership, problem-solving, and navigating challenges in a collaborative environment. I’m
eager to apply what I’ve learned while also gaining insight from a more organized and
structured board to further develop my skills and contribute meaningfully to the community.
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
It is hard to pick one primary role. If I had to narrow it down it would be to help the arts in
Vail thrive and to create unique experiences for guests, and locals.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
I believe the largest obstacle facing the board in the upcoming year is finding a mix of the
arts within the town. I also see this as an opportunity since we already have them in place
and get to increase the awareness for them.

With the addition of The Vail Art Studio we've solidified the focus on arts in Vail. I would love

Town of Vail
Dear Members of the Arts in Public Places board,
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Arts in Public Places Board. As a long-time
resident of Vail and a business owner in the publishing industry, I have developed a deep
appreciation for the role the arts play in shaping the identity and cultural vibrancy of our
community.
Through my work in publishing, I have spent many years highlighting and promoting arts,
culture, and creative businesses throughout Colorado. Each of our publications places a strong
emphasis on the arts, from visual art to public installations to performances, festivals, and
cultural events. This work has given me a unique opportunity to stay closely connect to the arts
community and to understand how creative programing and public art contribute to a
destination’s identity and economic vitality.
Because of this perspective, I regularly engage with artists, galleries, cultural organizations, and
events across the state. I believe this view of the arts landscape would allow me to bring
valuable insight to the AIPP boards as it continues to grow and evolve Vail’s public art program. I
am particularly interested in supporting initiatives that further integrate public art into everyday
community life while continuing to increase Vail’s reputation as a place where creativity and
culture thrive.
Having lived and worked in the Vail community for nearly 15 years, I care deeply about the
character of our town and the role the arts play in maintaining it. I welcome the opportunity to
collaborate with fellow board members to support the vision of the Arts in Public Places
programs and help expand the appreciation for the arts.
Thank you for considering my application, and I look forward to the possibility of contributing to
the important work of this board.
Sincerely,
Bobby L’Heureux

I was on the art board for 10 years about 10 years ago. It was most favorite board to serve

What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
I bring a unique skill set in having served on AIPP prior and now being off of the board it is
fun to see how much the program has grown. Molly has taken this program to new heights
putting Vail on the map of a cultural and artist destination.
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
The AIPP program’s main purpose is to assemble and maintain a collection of artworks—
including sculptures, murals, integrated installations, and other visual works—that are
placed throughout Vail’s public spaces where both residents and visitors can experience
them. These artworks are intended to be educational and visually enriching, reflecting Vail’s
character and global reputation as a destination.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
I believe the biggest obstacle that AIPP is facing exceeding expectations,. Vail visitors are
highly educated and typically are world travelers the standard of public art must be a high
level which sometimes can bring interesting conversations in regards to art. Funding is
always a challenge for any public art program, luckily Vail has some very generous donors in
the art world. Maintenance, with our high altitude environment upkeeping our current
collection is always a major priority.

Why is public art important to the Vail community?
Visitors may experience and appreciate the art, but they are not long-term stakeholders. The
program must balance serving tourism with building meaningful cultural identity for year-

appreciate it as well.

The Artist in Residency studio has such growth opportunity. The art challenge this summer

Letter of Intent – Art in Public Places Board
Dear Members of the Vail Town Council,
I am writing to express my interest in serving on the Town of Vail’s Art in Public Places Board.
Having previously served on the AIPP Board from 2005 to 2015, followed by eight years on Vail
Town Council, I bring both institutional knowledge and a deep, sustained commitment to our
community.
During my ten years on the AIPP Board, I had the privilege of helping guide public art initiatives
that enhanced Vail’s civic spaces and strengthened our cultural identity. That experience gave
me a strong understanding of the board’s role in balancing artistic vision, community values,
fiscal responsibility, and long-term stewardship. Public art in Vail is not simply decorative; it
shapes how residents and visitors experience our town and contributes meaningfully to our sense
of place. On my time on the art board, the best thing we did was hire Molly Eppard!
My subsequent service on Town Council broadened my perspective. I gained valuable
experience in governance, budgeting, strategic planning, and community engagement. I
understand how public art fits within the larger framework of town priorities and how important
collaboration and transparency are in building public trust and support.
Vail has evolved over the past decades, and so has the conversation around art in public spaces. I
believe my passion for this community, combined with my creativity and leadership experience,
would be an asset as the AIPP Board continues to refine its vision, support artists, and steward a
collection that reflects both our alpine heritage and our forward-looking spirit.
It would be an honor to once again contribute to the Art in Public Places program and help
ensure that Vail remains a vibrant cultural destination for generations to come.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Mason

Why are you interested in serving on this board?
I love Vail. I also want to serve on this Board because I have been inspired by the ways art
can transform a community and create a world-class cultural destination. I believe Vail has
the opportunity to continue evolving as a year-round destination, and public art can play a
central role in that vision. Inspired by projects like Reed Hastings’ work at Powder Mountain
and established art-centered destinations such as Storm King and Tippet Rise, I see the
potential to make art a sole reason to visit Vail. I am motivated to bring my professional
experience, creative perspective, and long-term commitment to Vail to help make this vision
a reality.

• What unique and particular qualifications do you bring to the position?
Please provide specific examples.
With more than 20 years as both a resident and real estate development professional in Vail,
I bring a long-term, invested perspective to this role. I have participated in the planning and
execution of world-class projects, where design excellence, aesthetic integrity, and
community impact were central to their creation. I understand how thoughtful design shapes
public experience, and I bring a disciplined yet creative approach to evaluating opportunities
that will contribute meaningfully to the Town of Vail.
What is your experience serving on other Boards?
While this is my first application for a Town of Vail Board, I bring relevant experience and a
strong understanding of thoughtful, accountable leadership. Through my professional career,
I have participated on and worked closely with numerous Boards and Advisory groups. The
majority of my Board roles have been with HOA's and Metro Districts.
What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
I am a creative thinker who has helped bring to life some transformative projects in Vail,
including; Solaris, Evergreen Redevelopment (Planning), and venues such as Matsuhisa,
BOL, and Chasing Rabbits. I hold in high regard aesthetics, quality, and the end user
experiences. Through my career, I have honed the ability to evaluate design, long-term
impact, and placemaking—skills that directly support the Board’s mission to curate a public
art experience that enhances Vail’s character and international reputation
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
I see the Board’s primary role as stewarding the vision for Vail’s public art, ensuring it
reflects the town’s character and enhances the experience of residents and visitors.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
I believe the largest obstacle facing the Board in the upcoming year will be ensuring that
public art is thoughtfully integrated into the many of the new projects coming online. As Vail
continues to grow with developments such as the Evergreen and West Lionshead, it will be
critical to think big-picture—making sure that each project’s public art contributes to a
cohesive vision for the town.

Public art is important to Vail because it enhances the beauty and character of our
community, creates meaningful experiences for residents and visitors, and strengthens Vail's
identity as a world-class destination.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What do you most enjoy about Vail's Art in Public Places program?
What I most enjoy about Vail’s Art in Public Places program is discovering the art around
town and being inspired by it. Seeing art in unexpected places—our playgrounds, parking
structures, sidewalks—sparks my own creativity.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What would you like to see for the Art in Public Places in the future, including
the Artist in Residency program and Studio? Will you be able to bring
concepts for programs, artists, and installations forth for Board discussion

I’ve been thinking more about how Vail could further establish itself as a world-class
destination for art. There’s a unique opportunity to draw inspiration from projects like Reed
Hastings’ work at Powder Mountain (Powder Art Foundation), and from established art-
centered destinations such as Storm King and Tippet Rise. Each of these places has
successfully integrated large-scale art installations into the landscape, creating cultural
destinations that attract visitors far beyond their traditional audience. We have the setting to
create something equally compelling. One idea that might be worth exploring is activating
the golf course and the recreational path that will eventually connect to West Lionshead.
This corridor could evolve into an immersive outdoor art experience—an evolving network of
installations that give guests another reason to explore, stay longer, and return often. In
regard to concepts, programs, and artists, yes, I would be able to bring ideas for Board
discussion and consideration—probably too many ideas!

Question applies to Art in Public Places
Why is public art important to the Vail community?
I believe art creates community. A well-curated program (like ours) should inspire
conversation and spark creativity. Opinions will always vary on art, but overall should help
relate the human experience, bringing us together. This sort of connection and vision can
create longevity in our community. Encouraging people to engage with local government
and fold in to the larger value set outside of simply athletics. I also believe art should be
accessible to all. A public program removes barriers to entry, which is not just important but
our responsibility to the community.
Question applies to Art in Public Places
What do you most enjoy about Vail's Art in Public Places program?
I think the diversity within our collection is worth celebrating. Our program features an array
of artists; minorities, indigenous people groups and both genders are well represented. Art
from diffrent background creates a wider perspective and creates more opportunity to
connect. I really enjoy how many perspectives are show cased through the art within our
program.

Dear Vail Town Council,
I would like to be considered for another term on the Art In Public Places
Board. I believe my connection to the community has contributed to the
success of current projects. I can offer a perspective that represents the entire
town. As someone who owns a business in the heart of the village, I have
constant and direct contact with the public art consumer and have an open
space for feedback.
I have a full understanding of current projects and the scope and dedication
it will take to move our projects forward. The Vail Art Studio in it’s infancy
with set the stage on how we move our art program forward.. I am fully
committed to the vastness of this project because I believe it connects our
community in a new way and provides an educational space for us to gather I
have also dedicated a lot of time to the Dobson public art commitment and
would like to see it through. I am willing to give that project the time
commitment and attention it deserves, so we can move our art community
forward.
.
In the last year, as a board member, I have dedicated my time to multiple
projects and our program. I would like to continue with that momentum and
have the opportunity to contribute to new projects in the next term. Thank you
for your consideration!
Cheers,

What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
Real estate development experience in Vail from 1996 in the Vail 21 building, Antlers at Vail
and building of 2 duplexes on Katsos Ranch Rd where dilapidated asbestos laden , non-code
compliant homes were replaced by modern, luxury properties. Also, on resume see list of all
projects recently completed
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
To study "form and function" of all submitted proposals. Especially to meet current code. To
implement non-combustable exterior materials in the prevention of home destruction from
wildfires. To review the design of all projects presented and evaluate for the appropriateness
in our community and long term sustainability
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
All of the controversy concerning the redevelopment of Vail Village/Red Lion property.
Do you have any conflicts of interest that may arise due to your employment,
personal and/or professional relationships, or financial interests in the Town
of Vail?
Yes No
If you answered "Yes" to the question above, please explain your conflict:
Interests & Experiences
Question applies to Planning and Environmental Commission,Design Review Board
Vail is a small community, and everyone seems to know each other in one
form or another. Please describe your abilities to act in a quasi-judicial role
and provide at least one example where you had to make an unpopular
decision on an issue based upon a set of criteria or other certain
considerations.
The building of the what was originally called the "Artist in Residence" Building in Ford
Park/Betty Ford Alpine Garden area, renamed the Vail Art Studio is built with fire-resistant
wood and no sprinkler system. I met on-site preconstruction with town officials, sent letters
to the City Council and talked with local residents. But obviously given all the new
information about fire suppression, with evidence and experiences to support non-
combustible construction practices, it was an unpopular decision and ignored.

Question applies to Design Review Board
The Design & Review Board meets on the first and third Wednesday of each
month at 2:00PM. Please describe your ability to attend these board
meetings and the support you have from your employer, if applicable, to do
so.
I live in Vail 8 months a year and an out of town the other periods of time, but assume
meetings can be attended remotely.
Question applies to Planning and Environmental Commission,Design Review Board
Do you have any conflicts of interest that may arise due to your employment,
personal and/or professional relationships, or financial interests in the Town
of Vail?
No, I am not involved or do not plan at this time to be involved in any other major real estate
development in Vail. And consider myself retired.
Question applies to Design Review Board,Vail Local Housing Authority
How would your appointment to the Authority add value and bring about new
solutions to the community’s housing challenges?
Actually, with all the new construction for employee housing and deed restricted units in TOV
the previous town councils and DRB members have made significant and admirable progress
in that area. However with the proposal for West Lionshead that will bring new challenges. I
am very aware of creative strategies such as pre-fabricated units, etc

Resume_for_Design_Review_Board.pdf

Dear City Council,
Thank you for considering me for a position on the Design Review Board.
My main reason for my application is to try to move toward all new construction to be built with
fire resistant features and non-combustable materials. The risk and frequency of spontaneous
wildfires is increased especially this summer with the unprecedented low snowfall. We must
review the California Fire Codes and adopt additional measures to prevent fires.
Additionally, in the most recent Vail Homeowner’s Association meeting there was considerable
time discussing the inability of condo associations to secure a reasonably priced insurance
policy unless the buildings had fire resilience features. Most of the buildings in the Town of Vail
do not.
On March 9th, 2025 I was walking to my home at 3225 Katsos Ranch Rd from the Booth Falls
bus stop with my niece in late afternoon. When we got closer, I could see nothing but smoke
and a fire behind the Vail Mountain School. Vail Fire and Emergency was dispatched to a three
story duplex at 3265 Katsos Ranch Rd. There was major damage. The home was built out of
logs. It lit up as quickly as a match. Emergency vehicles were there through the night to
monitor for hot spots.
Fortunately, the new construction of 3225,3230, 3232, 3235 Katsos Ranch Road, which were
built by my design and build firm are clad with Nichiha non-combustible exterior fiber cement
materials and interior sprinklers.
But the remainder of the homes on the street are not and most of Vail Village is not.
The construction of the Vail Art Studio (formerly advertised as the Artist in Residence building)
in Ford Park, which cost the taxpayers $1.33 million to build (the land was already owned by
the TOV), at a cost to build of nearly $2,000 a sq ft for a 700 sq ft very basic shed which was
not required to be built with non-combustible materials or sprinklers. Really??? It has fire-
resistant wood and vegetation planted within 3 feet of the building, tree limbs cantilevered over
the roof. With all of our buildings in Vail Village made of wood, if there was a fire we could lose
all of Vail Village!!! A site visit with Greg Hall, former head of Public Works and letter to the Town
Council with my concerns did result in the siding and roof non-combustible but not the front
porch - yikes.
Which brings me to my next reason for wanting to be on DRB. The controversial
redevelopment of the Red Lion and adjacent buildings. I agree that those buildings are old and
not code compliant any longer by todays standards. They need to be rebuilt . But the entire
vibe of Vail Village could change completely. I want to keep a pulse on this project by being a
member of DRB.
This is my third attempt at becoming a part of DRB. The first time, an attorney was appointed,
the second time someone was sworn in before the application deadline, and even this attempt
is unsuccessful, at least my concerns will have been expressed.
Sincerely,
Robin Burch

What is your work history from the last five (5) years?
I am a licensed architect that has worked for almost 20 years across various typologies and
scales - from cultural museums, homes, hotels, small renovations, and million SF master
plans. In the last five years, I have primarily worked in overseeing construction of hotels in
urban, suburban and rural locales. This past year, work has been focused renovation in
mountain towns.
Which Boards would you like to apply for?

• What unique and particular qualifications do you bring to the position?

Registered architect, breadth of experience and exposure to different scales in construction,
typologies and planning.

What skills and experiences do you have to advance the mission of the
Board?
Professional understanding of urban design, architecture and design principals. Additional
experience with town of vail masterplan and urban guidelines.
What do you see as the primary role of this Board?
Help to maintain the character, vibrancy, Tyrollean architecture and maintain design
integrity of Vail.
What do you believe is the largest obstacle facing this Board in the upcoming
year?
The greatest obstacle facing the Design Review Board is balancing the pressures of evolving
codes and new development proposals against the integrity of Vail's founding vision and
village master plan. As development activity increases, there is real risk that incremental
design decisions — each reasonable in isolation — collectively erode the architectural
character and urban guidelines that define Vail's identity. With 20 years of experience
navigating code compliance, master planning, and large-scale development, I understand
how quickly competing stakeholder priorities can drift from original intent. The Board's most
important role in the coming year will be serving as a consistent, informed steward of that
vision — ensuring new development aligns with established guidelines rather than reshaping
them.
Do you have any conflicts of interest that may arise due to your employment,
personal and/or professional relationships, or financial interests in the Town
of Vail?
Yes No
If you answered "Yes" to the question above, please explain your conflict:

decision on an issue based upon a set of criteria or other certain

Rendering impartial decisions in a close-knit community is a responsibility I take seriously
and have upheld throughout my first term on the DRB. In my professional role, I have
mediated between two parties with entrenched positions — guiding the conversation back to
code and industry standards until the criteria, not the pressure, drove the outcome. Where
everyone knows each other, consistency is the most respectful thing a board member can
offer.

I have successfully maintained my meeting commitment throughout my first term and am
confident in my ability to continue doing so. Occasional travel is a component of my role,
though as I approach one year with my current employer, I have a strong command of my

No.
Question applies to Design Review Board,Vail Local Housing Authority
How would your appointment to the Authority add value and bring about new
solutions to the community’s housing challenges?
My experience spanning hospitality design, urban development, modular construction, and
presentations to planning and zoning jurisdictions gives me a well-rounded understanding of
both design principles and approval processes. I have worked directly with micro-sized
lodging, residential, and workforce housing projects — including low-income housing in
Atlanta — and currently engage with similar community challenges in my professional role.
That breadth of experience allows me to evaluate housing proposals with both creative and
practical perspective, contributing informed, solution-oriented thinking to one of Vail's most
pressing challenges.

to the mortgage industry were such that kicking the can down the road wouldn’t work. The
company that I owned handled all data aggregation for the Treasury department, Fannie

Date: March 12, 2026
Subject: Planning update on Vail America Days
I. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail has a long history of celebrating the 4th of July all across town. The
celebrations include the Vail America Days Parade, the Patriotic Concert at the G erald
R Ford Amphitheater, and a fireworks show shot from Vail Mountain.
2026 will be an extra special celebration with a few significant milestones aligning into
one Big Birthday Celebration! America’s 250th, Colorado’s 150th, and Vail’s 60th amongst
many other significant birthdays across town. The US and the State of Colorado have
put a lot of resources into the overall celebration of the Semi-quincentennial for the US
and the Sesquisemiquincentennial combining the 250/150 efforts.
To align the Town’s celebrations with the 250/150 efforts and the Town celebrating its
60th birthday, the theme of the Vail America’s Days parade is proposed to be “250-150-
60. A Mountain of Milestones”.
The parade will be produced like prior years with a focus on community floats, live
music and creative designs. Post parade, town staff is developing a plan to host a free
community concert on the Gondola One Lawn leading up to the fireworks show. The
free concert is intended to provide all town guests with a fun and vibrant evening
activity, with the dual goal of supporting the Vail Police in providing engaging
programming for the adolescent guests to gather.

Subject: Enhanced Safety Measures for 2026 July 4th Holiday
On July 4, 2025, more than 1,500 juveniles gathered in the Solaris Plaza and International Bridge
areas, resulting in significant public safety and quality-of-life impacts, including disruptions to
public transportation, harassment of families in the Vail Village core, widespread disorderly
conduct, and 17 arrests, including one felony assault. These conditions presented serious
concerns related to physical altercations, curfew violations, and overall community safety.
In preparation for the 2026 July 4th holiday, the Department will implement comprehensive
public safety strategies, including increased law enforcement presence, structured pedestrian and
crowd-control measures, and modifications to the current curfew ordinance. The Town intends to
request that the curfew implemented in previous years be re-enacted in advance of the July 4th
holiday. The proposed 10:30 p.m. curfew is intended to reduce large-scale juvenile
congregations, deter unlawful behavior, and enhance overall public safety.

Town of Vail 1
To: Vail Town Council
From: Department of Environmental Sustainability
Date: March 17th, 2026
Subject: Information Update: Exterior Energy Offset Program
I. Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to introduce council to a greenhouse gas reduction
program for high energy consumption exterior uses including snow melting, pools, and
spas.
II. Background
Goals: The Vail Town Council has a strategic goal to reduce emissions communitywide by
50% by 2030 and 80% by 2050. In many mountain communities including the Vail Valley,
exterior energy systems for luxury amenities including snowmelting, pools, and spas have
been identified as an outsized contributor to greenhouse gas emissions due to their use of
natural gas as fuel and the relatively high amount of energy usage these uses demand. In
Vail, exterior energy is estimated to be responsible for ten times the emissions compared
with buildings per square foot.
The code gap: Unlike new homes and buildings in Vail, exterior energy is not addressed
comprehensively in the 2024 IECC (the International Energy Conservation Code). In the
Eagle Valley and other mountain towns across the state programs that address the impact
on emissions of exterior energy use. These programs are initiated by building permit
applications and require the anticipated emissions from exterior energy systems to be
accounted for and balanced by mitigation or offset strategies.
The Strategy: Mitigation is the use of on -site renewable energy such as solar or
geothermal to balance predicted emissions from fossil fuels over time. On -site
renewables typically produce a return-on-investment for owners through energy credits
offered by utilities such as sola r net-metering.
Offsets are local emissions reductions through fee-in-lieu funds which are invested in
programs and projects that increase sources of clean energy and efficiency. Examples
include local energy efficiency programs that are shown to reduce energy in the
community by improving buildings and homes. Installing insulation and air sealing, for
example, reduce the amount of energy required to heat a home and thus reduce their
associated greenhouse gas emissions and energy bill.
77
Town of Vail 2
The two pathways can also be combined to enable a project owner to choose the right
approach for their given project. For example, a roof may not support the full amount of
solar required so an owner can choose to maximize solar and then make up the difference
in the offset pathway.
Program Outcome: An exterior energy program is typically implemented by ordinance
through local building/energy codes. By placing a requirement on high -consumption
exterior energy systems, these programs aim to encourage sustainable design choices and
generate funding for clean energy projects such as solar on workforce housing or rebates
to residents or businesses to invest in clean energy upgrades. The program typically gives
compliance choices to the project owner but does require participation to ens ure that
greenhouse gas emissions are accounted for and reduced proportionately over the lifetime
of the equipment.
III. Action Requested of Council
Ask questions of staff related to exterior energy programs.
IV. Next Steps
Staff will return to Council with more detailed information.

What is an Exterior Energy Offset Program?
An EEOP calculates the tons of GHG emissions created by outdoor energy
systems over 20 years and requires them to be offset or balanced by:
1)Installing renewable energy onsite or
2)Paying a fee -in-lieu that achieves impactful (1:1) reductions in the community
3) A combination of 1 and 2

202517263 Good Deeds Vail price capped deed restriction recorded.PDF
99
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Jason Dietz, Housing Director
DATE: March 24, 2026
SUBJECT: Good Deeds Vail – 2026 Program Implementation & Deed Restriction
Summary
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to request Council authorization to continue
implementing the Good Deeds Vail price capped deed restriction program in partnership
with the Eagle County Housing and Development Authority (ECHDA) for 2026, using
available Vail InDEED funding to acquire additional deed restrictions that secure homes
for local workforce housing.
Background
In 2025, the Town successfully recorded a price capped deed restriction through the
Good Deeds Vail program on Pitkin Creek Park Condominium Unit 3B, in partnership
with ECHDA. The recorded deed restriction establishes long‑term affordability, caps
future resale value, and ensures the home remains occupied by qualified local
employees.
Due to changing market conditions, the Vail InDEED program has only produced 1-2
units per year for the last several years. Staff is interested in creating new program
structures that preserve existing housing for local workers. Exploring the use of Good
Deeds Vail in 2026 will cast a wider net for possible local homeowners in Vail, increase
the pool of price capped deed restrictions within the year, and allow the Town to test the
market for a 30% investment towards home purchase with only a 15% contribution.
Program Overview
• 30% public investment, up to $375,000 (15% ECHDA + 15% Town of Vail)
• Eligible only for non deed‑restricted homes in Vail
100
Town of Vail Page 2
• Maximum purchase price: $1,250,000
• Primary residence requirement (9+ months/year)
• Employment and no‑other‑real‑estate requirements
• Prohibition on short‑term rentals
• Resale price capped using wage‑based formula administered by The Valley Home
Store
Recommendation
Staff recommends Town Council authorize continued implementation of the Good
Deeds Vail price capped deed restriction program for 2026, with the option to include
properties in unincorporated Vail, i.e. Bellflower Drive, if desired.

real property commonly known as ___________ , and legally described as:

event of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, ECHDA may exercise the Option to Purchase by
tendering to the Holder or its assigns, in cash or certified funds, an amount equal to the amount
due on the note and any additional reasonable costs incurred by the Holder during the option
period. In the event of foreclosure and issuance of a public trustee's deed, ECHDA may
exercise the Option to Purchase by tendering to the Holder or its assigns, in cash or certified
funds, the redemption price which would have been required of the borrower or any person who
might be liable upon a deficiency on the last day of the statutory redemption period(s) and any
additional reasonable costs incurred by the Holder during the option period which are directly
related tothe foreclosure.

special warranty deed, conveying the Subject Property to the ECHDA or its assignee. The
Holder shall convey only such title as it received through the public trustee's deed or deed in lieu
of foreclosure and shall not create or participate in the creation of any additional liens or
encumbrances against the Subject Property following issuance of the public trustees' deed to
the Holder. The Holder shall not be liable for any of the costs of conveyance to the ECHDA or its
assignee.
4. Release: Upon issuance of a public trustee's deed or deed in lieu of foreclosure to the Holder,

Town of Vail Page 1
Memorandum
To: Town Council
From: Finance Department
Date: March 17, 2026
Subject: Short-Term Complaint Process Information and Update
I. PURPOSE
The Finance Department seeks to explain the process regarding short-term rental
complaints and resolutions to Town Council and understand if the Council is pleased
with the current process or if improvements should be explored.
II. BACKGROUND
The Short-Term Rental department utilizes a 24-hour complaint hotline in tandem with a
short-term rental specific software to field, monitor, and record complaints. This hotline
serves as a tool that harkens back to the purpose of the short-term rental program, per
Town Code 4-14-1, “to safeguard the public health, safety, and welfare by regulating
and controlling the use, occupancy, location, and maintenance of short-term rentals in
the Town.” The hotline process allows Town staff to be made aware of a complaint and
track it while remaining neutral and not determining which party is at fault or whether
one account is more truthful than the other. It helps keep the process objective and
straightforward, rather than turning it into a “he said, she said” situation with the Town
being in the middle.

Town of Vail Page 2
III. DISCUSSION
The STR department takes all complaints seriously and reviews each complaint in
detail. The LODGINGRevs software captures the specifics, including caller name, STR
address, time stamps, call notes, and recordings of the complaint and resolution
calls. Once all facts are gathered from the software, the STR department follows up as
needed with the party who made the complaint and the STR local representative and/or
property owner.
In 2025 the department received 99 separate complaints through the software and
issued 8 violations, 7 of which were issued because the local representative failed to
resolve the complaint within the required timeframe (30 minutes between 11PM and
7AM, 60 minutes otherwise).

Total 99 8
*of total complaints, 8 involved non-STR properties
Also in 2025, the STR department hosted a lunch and learn session with local property
managers, many of whom act as local representatives. Attendees were educated about
code requirements, including responding to complaints, and had the opportunity to ask
questions.
The department’s original software, LODGINGRevs was acquired by GovOS in 2022,
and in 2024 and 2025 staff noticed that complaint recordings were taking longer to
upload to the software. This made following up on complaints in a timely manner more
difficult. It is imperative for staff to listen to each recording when reviewing complaints
and resolution calls to understand the issue in full. Staff also dealt with customer
service delays with GovOS and could not easily edit the hotline script. The 24/7 hotline
would occasionally not answer, even during business hours, and staff would leave a
voicemail, which was generally returned within a few hours. Fortunately, these
frustrations have been handled by the vendor and customer service has improved
during Q4 2025.

There are enhancements planned for later 2026. LODGINGRevs will be transitioning to
Neumo, a new company that utilizes Avenu Insights and Analytics for its STR
compliance. Enhancements should provide quicker access to recordings, data-driven
compliance, improvements to the hotline, and tools for Vail staff to easily edit hotline
script should changes need to be made. For example, the script could be edited to
have the hotline representative remind complaint callers to call the hotline back if the
complaint is not resolved within the required 30 or 60 minute timeframe.
IV. SUMMARY
Staff believes the current process to be working well, allowing staff to review both sides
of each account to remain neutral. The department looks forward to enhancements the
software updates should bring; however, the overall process is not planned to change
through the upgrade. Staff seeks to balance the enjoyment of the STR by guests and
neighbors alike, and the hotline serves as a tool to assist staff in objectively enforcing
Town Code requirements. Does Council have any process recommendations?

January 12, 2026 Minutes.pdf
Ramsey motions to approve, Tracy seconds and all in favor.
3.2 Art Studio adjacent landscape design update, Gregg Barrie Landscape Architect Town
of Vail.
Art Studio North Lawn Concept Rendering
Gregg presents the proposed landscaping design for the area north of the Vail Art Studio in
collaboration with the BFAG.
3.3 Art Studio "Mud Room" site-specific proposal, Amy Dose & Pamela Olson Vail Art
Studio Challenge recognized artists.
Art Studio Mud Room Proposal
Kathy moves to approve the proposal as presented by Amy Dose in the amount of
$5,000, Tracy seconds and all in favor.
Molly discusses the possibility of activations with local potters and ceramicists in
connection with the installation.
3.4 Dobson Arena public art integration update and next steps discussion with Dobson
Arena Art Selection Committee and advisors.
Molly reviews the process and timeline dating back from July 2025 to the present for the
selection of Dobson Arena public art. This includes creating a project specific selection jury
as approved by the AIPP Board, as well as the Jan. 22 RFP meeting.
Molly reviews the established AIPP guidelines for the project specific selection jury and
advisors. This includes Black Cube Nomadic Musuem as the project managers for the
Dobson Arena public art selection process and Squire Broel providing conservation
consultation approved by the AIPP Board.
POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
A. ADVISORS
The AIPP Board may consult advisors for specific projects. Advisors may recommend
and/or provide professional guidance to the AIPP Board or to a project selection jury.
137
2
Advisors may include, but are not limited to, art and architecture professionals,
appraisers, engineers, contractors, maintenance and conservation specialists.
B. PROJECT SPECIFIC SELECTION JURY
The AIPP Board together with the AIPP Coordinator will determine if a Selection Jury is
needed; if not, the AIPP Board shall serve as the selection jury. Selection jurists may include,
but are not limited to, art and architecture professionals, community representatives and
AIPP Board members.
Each juror has one vote. If a consensus cannot be reached, a majority vote carries the
decision. The jury has the right to make no selection if no proposal is judged to be of
sufficient merit.
Voting members of selection jury:
Art Selection Committee, composed of the Town’s Art in Public Places Board and staff
member, a staff and board member from the Vail Recreation District Board, and a resident of
the Town of Vail; including advisement from, a representative from Populous, and a
representative of Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum, as well as an art conservator. This
group ensures a balance of aesthetic, architectural, civic, and community perspectives.
Evaluation Criteria:
● Quality and Innovation: Proposed artworks should demonstrate artistic excellence and
innovation. While Dobson Arena is largely used for athletic purposes, the Art Selection
Committee is not explicitly seeking sports or mountain themed art proposals.
● Compatibility with Site: Proposed artworks should be compatible in style, scale, material,
and form with the Dobson Arena. Preference will be given to artworks that emphasize
durability and longevity. Preference will also be given to artworks that thoughtfully relate in
design to the specific location Dobson Arena—i.e. through the architecture, geography, light
qualities, physical attributes, etc.
● Feasibility: The proposed production timeline and budget should be appropriate for the
artwork.
Molly recaps next steps as a result of the Jan. 22 RFP meeting:
Present two selected artist proposals and locations at Feb. 17 Town Council meeting so that
we may enter into the contract; not to move forward above the stairs as a public art location
and Molly is looking at alternate opportunities; and requesting a refined proposal for the West
Vestibule.
Kathy comments that Lindsea called members of the Art Board to reconsider their decisions
from Jan. 22 and has called for a coalition to change the jury decisions. Kathy’s concerns are
that the entire selection committee was not contacted for this discussion.
Lindsea believes the RFP selection process was rushed and not making decisions was
irresponsible given the committee’s time and expenses spent thus far.
Susanne comments that most artists were willing to have open dialogue in reviewing their
proposals and that should be pursued.
Kathy remarks that the selection committee was not prepared in advance about the site
limitations and reviewing the proposals using the stated evaluation criteria as representatives of
the community versus their personal wants.
Kirk agrees that the group needs to come together to make decisions.
138

Courtney believes in an obligation to the whole community and is open to revisit spaces, artists,
and media.
Molly’s reservations about the stairwell are the constraints of the space given the low ceiling
height, proposed suspended artworks extending over the stairwell railings, physical reach,
maintenance, conservation, and the fiscal responsibility with those considerations, as well as
the adjacent location of Lewis’ memorial bench.
Jared remarks on the perspective he has from physically being in the space. There is an
artistic side to the architectural design which should be considered. He confirmed the
stairwell is extremely tight at only 5 feet width and any suspended art will be hidden behind
an existing support beam. He recommends the committee have a site visit now that the
spaces can be seen.
Molly shares updated images of the Dobson Arena from Populous:
Dobson Updated Construction Images - Populous
Molly comments that now as the building takes shape public art opportunities arise and it is
worth reevaluating how the space flows with egress from a visitor and operational standpoint.
It will be worthwhile to reevaluate locations as a responsibility to the community with the
consideration of not pursuing an artwork valued at $70,000 that will not physically work within
the space.
Tom agrees a site visit is important and given it is a significant project for the Town of Vail we
should not feel rushed in making selections.
The Selection Committee would like to see additional refined proposals from artists for the
West Vestibule which Molly will discuss with Black Cube as to how best proceed.
Kathy requests an understanding of the glass, reflectivity and glazing products from the
Populous for the West Vestibule for both daytime and evening visibility.
Molly will arrange a site visit to Dobson.
3.5 Art Studio programming
The “Conversation with Jen Stark” moderated by Ben Belgard went very well.
The Drawing Club is convening for the first time this Wednesday.
May – necessary facility maintenance so will likely not have any programs.
June – Jason Middlebrook residency
Board will further review documents outlining studio program is tabled until the March
meeting.
4. Coordinator Updates
Winterfest has been going well and has been embraced by the public. Molly compliments Alpine Ice’s
flexibility with the temperatures and changing dates. Ramsey asks why not more locations for ice
sculptures. Molly informs her this is the Winterfest location for 19 years given it is a shaded accessible
park setting in the heart of the village. We presently have had two additional ice sculptures promoting
Winterfest in Lionshead and at the Covered Bridge.

Attn: Eagle County Commissioners
Eagle County
500 Broadway
Eagle, CO
Dear Commissioners,
Subject: Opposition to Requested Variance from Eagle County Dual-Access Road
Requirements – Berlaimont Project
On behalf of the Vail Town Council, we write to express our opposition to the requested
variance from Eagle County’s dual-access road requirement for the Berlaimont development.
The County’s dual-access standard exists to protect public safety and ensure reliable
emergency response and evacuation routes for residential communities in mountain
environments. This requirement reflects long-standing recognition that single-access
developments create elevated risk during wildfire, severe winter conditions, accidents, and other
emergencies that may block or compromise a single road. For this reason, the standard has
been a critical component of Eagle County’s land-use regulations.
Granting a variance to this requirement for the Berlaimont project would undermine t he purpose
of this safety standard and expose future residents, emergency responders, and surrounding
communities to unnecessary risk.
Public Safety and Emergency Access
The Berlaimont proposal would rely on a single access road serving a substantial new
residential development located in steep, forested terrain. In mountain communities like ours,
road blockages from wildfire, avalanches, fallen trees, vehicle accidents, or severe winter
conditions are not hypothetical risks—they are well-documented and ever-increasing realities.
Without a secondary access route, any disruption along the sole road could delay emergency
response or restrict evacuation during critical events. As wildfire risk and extreme weather
events increase across the region, redundancy in access routes becomes even more essential.
Allowing this development to proceed without meeting the County’s dual-access requirement
would reduce system resilience precisely when communities must be strengthening it.
152
In our view, the public safety objectives of the County’s access standards cannot be met without
compliance with the dual-access requirement.
Purpose of the Variance Process
Variances are intended to address unique physical constraints or hardships while preserving the
intent of adopted regulations. In this case, the requested variance would effectively waive a
fundamental public safety requirement rather than provide a minor adjustment.
Approving this request would signal that large-scale developments may proceed without
meeting one of Eagle County’s most important safety standards, which risks creating a
precedent that could weaken the County’s ability to enforce similar requirements for future
developments.
Environmental and Community Impacts
The Berlaimont access road(s) and the development itself would introduce additional
environmental impacts in a landscape that provides one of the most important remaining wildlife
habitat and movement corridors in the Eagle Valley. Elk, deer and numerous other species in
the Eagle Valley have already suffered irreparable population declines. Road construction and
associated development fragment habitat, increase wildlife-vehicle conflicts, and introduce long-
term disturbance from traffic, lighting, and human activity.
Road construction and residential development in steep mountain terrain also present risks to
nearby streams and downstream water quality. Vegetation removal, grading, and increased
impervious surfaces can elevate sediment, nutrient, and pollutant runoff during both
construction and long-term operation. In mountain watersheds, even relatively small increases
in erosion and stormwater runoff can degrade aquatic habitat, impair water quality, and increase
flood risk downstream.
While these environmental impacts are concerning on their own, they underscore the
importance of ensuring that any development in such sensitive areas meets the County’s full set
of safety and infrastructure requirements. Granting a variance in this context would allow both
increased environmental disturbance and reduced infrastructure resilience.
Conclusion
Eagle County’s dual-access requirement exists to safeguard residents, emergency responders,
and the broader community. The Berlaimont proposal does not meet this standard, and the
requested variance would undermine the purpose of the regulation while introducing
unnecessary public safety risks.
For these reasons, we respectfully urge the Board of County Commissioners to deny the
requested variance and uphold the County’s established access requirements.
Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter and for your continued commitment to
protecting public safety and responsible land-use planning in Eagle County.
153
With gratitude for your consideration,
Barry Davis, Mayor
On behalf of the Vail Town Council

Social Media Listening
It's interesting what we pick up monitoring social media, for example we stumbled upon
a video that helped us close the case on how a Winterfest ice sculpture was broken and
also saw a vibrant scene at the daytime concerts at Solaris (ex 1, ex 2), clips of March
powder days and continuing conversations around renovations in the village.
Our social media in 2025 saw big gains across just about every channel. The Town of
Vail and vailgov channels specifically had a 120% increase in impressions from the
previous year, reaching 3.4 million. The Town Council preview videos have become a
standard of the Town of Vail f eed, with the 22 videos we create in 2025 receiving over
65,000 impressions and 1,339 engagements across Facebook and Instagram.
Interestingly, while the Town of Vail Facebook page's posts tend to out perform
Instagram, the council videos saw higher viewership on the younger-eschewing
Instagram page - an exciting metric for reaching our younger community members.
