meeting and December 19, 2017 Town Councilmemorandums. Ruther suggestedtheboard review the
application submittal requirements regarding employment.
The Board discussed workforce changes and how locals qualifytoday, including the digital work force.
Suggestion was for applicants to prove they are providing a service to locals and participating in
community.
Lindstrom asked if Ruther anticipated eligibility carry over in all lotteries moving forward.
Clifton said this is a relevant discussion. His experience with other boardsshowedthe challenge was
on the back end. He believes this is what lies ahead for compliance. Examples include long travel
experiences, teacher sabbaticals, and other. He suggested thinkingof the process to hear exemption
and develop criteria for exemption. Review inahearing, it would be noticed, owners would state case
andBoard would render decision. He believes the authority would be a good tribunal. There then would
be a record to support decisions.
Morales asked if there are protected classes,FMLA, etc.
Ruther said those are listed in guidelines. He sees biggest one unaddressed istechnology of doing
business. We need some consideration and thought toward this subject. There is a change in how
people work. We deal with retirement, extended leaves, job loss.
Morales asked when reviewing the guidelines would the Board review in VLHA andthen make
recommendation to Town Council.
Ruther stated there would be a joint Town Council and Vail Local Housing Authority meeting to discuss
policy.
Clifton said May or June.
Lindstrom reviewed the lottery criteria proposed to Council December 19, 2017. There were two items
Council wanted additional information.
Item #2: Allow current residential property owners, including vacant residential land, to participate in
the lottery.
Item #3: Phase out the weighted preference and tiered systems and replace them with a true lottery
process, effective June 2018.
The third item todiscuss would be the change in how people work. George suggested the annual
resale lottery criteria would be on the April 17, 2018 evening agenda.

Morales commented the difference for those working as contracted employee but paid elsewhere,
working local vs. remote office for clients outside Eagle County.The Board needs to determine
clarification of the work.
Board thinks Morales’ comments should be discussed.
Wilkins will circleback to the Town wants to build community, he doesn’t favor remote work but we
should figure itout.
McDougall was curious about the standard for remote work and how do you get proof.
The Board believed the remote worker needs to be defined, provide criteria to prove casethe
employee’s case.
