Background Rationale: In 1982, upon completion of the Vail Golf Course Townhomes Expansion project, the Pulis Ranch (which also contained the above property) was subdivided through a townhouse plat into two portions. One part is the subject property which contains a single family residence and the larger parcel which contains the Vail Golf Course Townhomes. The two parcels are separated by Sunburst Drive. Zoning for both parcels is Low Density Multiple Family. The applicant is requesting Single Family Residential zoning for the small parcel which contains the single family home. The PEC vote was 6-0 in favor. (Applicant: S.H. Shapiro and Company) Staff Recommendation: The staff recommends approval of the change in zoning.

The term "public road(s)" shall include, as applicable, the entire public right-of-way, including the graveled or asphalt driving surface, shoulders and drainage ways. 2. SCOPE OF SERVICES. 2.1 The Town agrees to provide general snow and ice removal services upon the public roads located within the unincorporated portion of West Vail to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth. For purposes of this Agreement, general snow and ice removal services shall consist of and include those snow and ice removal services regularly provided by the Town upon the Road during the period of time that portion of West Vail in which the Road is located was ostensi- bly annexed to the Town. By way of example only, and without limitation, such general snow and ice removal services upon the Road include: snowplowing; grading; blading; sanding; widening of the Road for access; continuing maintenance of snow and ice removal; repair or replacement of signage, reflectors, delineator posts and fences damaged by snow and ice removal; the clearing of snow and ice from barrow pits, culverts, and drainageways for the purpose of ensuring ade- quate drainage; response to citizen calls or calls for assis- tance from the County regarding snow and ice removal; and all technical, auxiliary and other services related to snow and ice removal upon the public roads which the Town presently services. -2- 2.2 Such snow and ice removal services shall be rendered on the following priority basis: First priority - school bus and emergency vehicle routes. Second priority - collector roads as determined and designated by the Town. Third priority - all remaining public roads designated by the Town for snow and ice removal. 2.3 The aforementioned snow and ice removal services to be rendered by the Town specifically exclude road construction and repair, and routine and normal maintenance, which shall remain the sole responsibility of the County. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Town shall be solely responsible for the repair of any public road damaged as a direct result of the snow and ice removal services rendered hereunder by the Town. 2.4 In rendering such snow and ice removal services, the Town shall, with all due diligence, notify the Eagle County Road and Bridge Supervisor of the discovery of any physical condition existing within the public roads covered by this Agreement which, in reasonable judgment, constitutes, or in the reasonably foreseeable future could constitute, a risk to the health or safety of the public. For purposes of this Subsection 2.4, notification shall be deemed complete upon verbal contact with the Eagle County Road and Bridge Supervi- sor of the existence of a dangerous condition within a public road, timely followed by a written confirmation of the sub- stance of the prior verbal contact. 3. LEVEL OF SERVICE. 3.1 The level of service to be provided by the Town hereunder shall be that level of snow and ice removal service routinely and normally provided by the Town to West Vail during the period of time that portion of West Vail in which the Road is located was ostensibly annexed to the Town. 3.2 The Town shall provide to the County Road and Bridge Department a monthly report of snow and ice removal activities generated as a result of this Agreement. Such report shall include, by way of example only, the frequency, nature and extent of such services rendered. 3.3 The Town agrees to use its best efforts in the performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement and to exercise the maximum amount of prudence and safety. In this respect, the Town shall give prompt and due consideration to -3- - r ; . . all requests of the County regarding rendition of the snow and ice removal services provided by this Agreement. The Town shall make every effort to comply with these requests if deemed consistent with the Town's general snow and ice removal practices. All requests for services, other than requests for assistance or citizen calis, shall be made by the County's Road and Bridge Supervisor or his authorized representative, to the Town's Public Works Director or his authorized repre- sentative. 4. EQUIPMENT. The Town shall furnish and supply all necessary labor, supervision, equipment, motor vehicles, office space, and operating and office supplies necessary to maintain the level of service to be rendered hereunder. It is expressly under- stood that any equipment, including motor vehicles, used in the performance of this Agreement shall remain in the owner- ship of the Town, and any and all necessary maintenance costs relative to such equipment shall be the sole responsibility of the Town. 5. COMPENSATION. 5.1 The County agrees to pay the Town the sum of Four Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($4,000.00) per month for the five months of December 1987 through April 1988 for the rendition of the snow and ice removal services provided for herein. 5.2 The County shall pay the aforementioned monthly amount on or before the fifteenth day of each respective month for those snow and ice removal services rendered by the Town the preceding month. If the County does not make timely payment, the Town may terminate this agreement with ninety (90) days' notification. In such event, the County shall be liable for all snow and ice removal services rendered by the Town to the date of termination. 5.3 Financial obligations of the Town and the County, respectively, payable after the current fiscal year, are contingent upon funds for the purposes set forth in this Agreement being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available. -4- 6. PERSONNEL. 6.1 The Town and its Public Works Director shall have full cooperation from the County, the Eagle County Road and Bridge Supervisor, and their respective officers, agents, and employees, so as to facilitate the performance of this Agreement. 6.2 The rendition of the snow and ice removal services provided for herein, the standards of performance, the disci- pline of employees, and other matters incidental to the performance of such services and the control of personnel so employed, shall remain with the Town. In the event of any dispute between the parties herein as to the extent of the duties and services to be rendered hereunder, or with regard to the minimum level or manner of performance of such services, the determination thereof made by the Town shall be final and conclusive as between the parties hereto. 6.3 All persons employed in the performance of such snow and ice removal services for West Vail pursuant to this Agreement shall be Town employees, and no person employed hereunder shall have any County pension, civil service or any status or right. 6.4 The County shall not be called upon to assume any liability for the direct payment of any salaries, wages or other compensation to any Town personnel performing snow and ice removal services hereunder for West Vail, nor any liabil- ity other than that provided for in this Agreement. 6.5 Except as herein otherwise specified, the County shall not be liable for compensation or indemnity to any Town employee for injury or sickness arising out of his/her employment. 7. LIABILITY AND INSURANCE. 7.1 The County, its officers and employees, shall not be deemed to assume any liability for intentional or negligent acts, errors, or omissions of the Town or of any officer of employee thereof. Likewise, the Town, its officers and employees, shall not be deemed to assume any liability for intentional or negligent acts, errors, or omissions of the County or of any officer or employee thereof. 7.2 The County agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the extent allowed by law, the Town, its respec- tive agents, officers, servants and employees of and from any and all loss, costs, damage, injury, liability, claims, liens, -5- ' , . demands, action and causes of action whatsoever, arising out of or related to the County's intentional or negligent acts, errors, omissions or those of its agents, officers, servants, and employees, whether contractual or otherwise. Likewise, the Town agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the extent allowed by law, the County, its respective agents, officers, servants and employees of and from any and all loss, costs, damage, injury, liability, claims, liens, demands, action and causes of action whatsoever, arising out of or related to the Town's intentional or negligent acts, errors or omissions or those of its agents, officers, servants, and employees, whether contractual or otherwise. 7.3 The County and the Town shall respectively provide its own public liability, property damage, and errors and omissions insurance coverage as each party may deem adequate and necessary for any potential liability arising from this Agreement. Further, the County and the Town, respectively, shall name, subject to the approval of each respective party's insurance carriers, the other respective party as a co-insured under such insurance policies to the extent of any potential liability arising under this Agreement and, upon reasonable written request, shall furnish evidence of the same to the other respective party. 8. ANNEXATION. For purposes of this Agreement, the parties contemplate the Town's re-annexation of that portion of West Vail which is the subject of this Agreement, by phases, during the term of this Agreement. In this respect, the parties agree that as each respective phase is annexed, the compensation set forth in Section 5 shall concurrently and automatically be decreased in direct proportion to the reduction in demand for snow and ice removal services directly attributable to that phase or portion of West Vail re-annexed. Such reduced monetary amount due by the County to the Town shall be caluclated by taking the monthly amount due prior to the subject re-annexation and subtracting therefrom an amount derived by multiplying the mileage of the public roads within the re-annexed area by Two Thousand Seventy-seven Dollars and No Cents ($2,077.00). The figure $2,077.00 constitutes the monthly cost per mileage of the public road and shall be adjusted accordingly depending upon the time of the month re-annexation is affectuated. Such calculated total amount shall constitute the new monthly compensation due by the County to the Town in accordance with Section 5 hereof. -6- i 9. TERMINATION. 9.1 Unless sooner terminated as provided for herein, this Agreement shall be effective November l, 1987, and shall terminate April 30, 1988. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, either party, with or without cause, may terminate this Agreement upon the giving of ninety (90) days' prior written notice of such termination to the other respective party. Notice shall be deemed to have been given upon the mailing of said notice by United States certified, first-class mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to the parties at their respective addresses as shall appear herein, or upon a change of address pursuant to this notice provision. 9.2 In the event the County is dissatisfied with the Town's performance of its duties pursuant to this Agreement, and such dissatisfaction cannot be resolved between the County and the Town, and/or if the Town breaches any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement on its part, the County's sole remedy is to terminate this Agreement as herein provided. 10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 10.1 This agreement does not and shall not be deemed ta confer upon nor grant to any third party any right to claim damages or to bring any lawsuit, action or other proceedings against either the Town or the County because of any breach hereof or because of any terms, covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein. 10.2 Except as specifically provided otherwise herein, no modification or waiver of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, or provision herein contained shall be valid unless in writing and duly executed by the party to be charged therewith. 10.3 This written Agreement embodies the whole agreement between the parties hereto and there are no inducements, promises, terms, conditions, or obligations made or entered into either by the County or the Town other than those contained herein. 10.4 This Agreement shall be binding upon the respective parties hereto, their successors or assigns, and may not be assigned by anyone without the prior written consent of the other respective party hereto. 10.5 All agreements and covenants herein are severable, and in the event that any of them shall be held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, this Agreement shall be -7- i.- interpreted as if such invalid agreement or covenant were not contained herein. 10.6 The Town has represented to the County and, like- wise, the County has represented to the Town, that it posses- ses the 1ega1 ability to enter into this Agreement. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that either of the parties hereto did not possess the legal ability to enter into this Agreement, this Agreement shall be consi- dered null and void as of the date of such Court determination. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement the day and year first above written. ~'q~ COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF G, 'a{~ y COLOR , and Through Its ~w~ =EST: BOA OF COU TY COMMISSIONERS N ~ By : L( By : lerk to the oard of Ri ard L. t son, airman County Commissioners Address: P. . x 8 E gle, C0 8 31 Telephone: _03) 328- 11 TOWN OF VAIL, STATE OF COLORADO ATTEST: By and Through Its Town Council By: By; Clerk to the Town Council Address: 75 S.

Possibly the Town could put out a request through their newsletter. Anyone interested in skiing in the Antique Ski Race should sign up as soon as possible. This race is free and is set for Monday, December 14, 1987 at 1:30 PM. It is aimed at bringing back the nostalgia of the 1960's skiing. The only requirement for entry is that racers use equipment and clothing at least 25 years old. This race is sponsored by Christy Sports. Prizes will be awarded for the oldest pair of skis, best outfits, best time, most elegant, oldest and youngest skier and more. Register in the Lodge at Vail December 12 - 14, 1987. If they require more information about the Antique Ski Race contact J. C. Clarke at 926-3029. Bibs will be.issued for this race. Anniversary posters will be sold by Vail Resort Association at a cost of $8. These are the ones that do not have any advertisers on it and would make a nice gift. Books will also go on sale for I believe $40. I am not sure where you can purchase these other than through book stores at this time. President Ford will not be at the Christmas tree lighting, however Jack Nicklaus and his family, Vice President Mondale, President Carter and Dan Reeves will all be in town and are all being considered. Attached is an up to date schedule. Scotty Hamilton is a question mark at the Dobson arena on Saturday, December 19, 1987. The GORE-TEX fashion show on Thursday, December 17, 1987 has been cancelled. ~ 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Winter Schedule of Events for Public Revised 11/19/87(p) **Daily Event/Press Registration 8-12noon at the Lodge beginning Saturday Saturday, December 12, 1987 12:00 p.m. Registration Vail Room, Lodge at Vail Al1 week Snow & Ice Sculpture Contest Vail Village and Mountain 7:00 p.m. Warren Miller's premiere - Cascade Theatre, Vail "White Winter Heat" Sunday, December 13, 1987 6:00 p.m. Opening Ceremonies, Slifer Square, Vail Torchlight Parade/Fireworks Presented by:Kassbohrer'of North America Monday, December 14, 1987 ` 1:00 P.M. lOth Mountain Division Golden Peak, Vail Demonstration Team 1:30 p.m. Antique Ski Race Golden Peak, Vail Presented by: Christy Sports 6:00 p.m. lOth Mountain Division Reception Marriott's Mark Resort Presented by: Marriott's Mark Resort Tuesday, December 15, 1987 Al1 Day Birthday Party Mid-Vail, Vail 12:30 p.m. Fashion Show Presented by: GORE-TEX Fabric Mid-Vail, Vail 9:00 P.M.

Ordinarily, bonuses are not given for work that is cons'idered to be a part of our responsibility, but in this case, all the Department Heads and i felt it was appropriate because the Buffehr Creek Park effort goes beyond the norm of the past in interdepartmental cooperation. I feel the combined effort by the Community Development and Public Works Departments in this project is the beginning of a significantly new level of interdepartmental working relationships. This is a goal we have had for three years and to see it implemented in such a fine manner is certainly rewarding. I think the accomplishment of Buffehr Creek Park and the excellence in which it was done signals a new era of responsiveness and productivity on the part of all of you.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT/PLANNING FIVE YEAR OPERATING AND CAPITAL BUDGET FORECAST AND FINANCIAL OPINION December 10, 1987 Prepared by the Budget Office Administrative Services Department PURPOSE The broad purpose of this forecast is to estimate the level of revenues and expenditures for the Town of Vail through 1993 and thereby highlight potential funding problems and opportunities. This forecast should therefore be viewed as a planning tool for analyzing the Town's current and future financial situation and not as an attempt to set the exact level of future budgets or budget policy. Due to the interaction of the myriad of variables addressed in this forecast, it becomes progressively less reliable beyond the current year. Therefore, the f.ive year budget forecast will be updated annually. METHODOLOGY This document is divided into four sections: Section I: Assumptions. Briefly outlines and justifies the major assumptions behind the forecast and the effects of changes in those assumptions. Section II: Findings. Lists the significant findings of the forecast. Section III: Recommendations. Presents staff recommendations on fiscal policies and bonding capabilities. Section IV: The actual spreadsheets used to make the forecast. SECTION I. ASSUMPTIONS REVENUE l. Sales Tax. The Town's sales tax revenue has increased annually at a rate of 10.6% during the period of 1980-1986. An estimate of 5% growth in future sales tax revenues is assumed due to the recent slow down in sales tax growth rates. 1 TOWN OF VAIL Sales Tax Growth History CONSUMER PRICE INDEX SALES TAX GROWTH REAL YEAR INCREASE OVER PREVIOUS YEAR GROWTH 1976 5.8% 24.6% 18.80 1977 6.40 8.3% 1.9% 1978 8.8% 27.1% 18.3% 1979 11.30 22.30 11.0% 1980 13.6% 15.8% 2.20 1981 10.4% 12.0% 1.6% 1982 6.1% 16.6% 10.50 1983 3.2% 5.2% 2.0% 1984 4.0% 11.5% 7.5% 1985 3.8% 7.2%* 3.4% 1986 1.4% 5.9%* 4.50 - 1987 (est.) 4.5% 7.0o* 2.50 , *Estimated effects of West Vail de-annexation and sales tax on groceries removed.

Property Tax. No increase in property tax revenues is assumed except for those increases due to new construction and annexation of the remainder of West Vail. 3. Ski Lift Tax. A 5% growth rate is assumed. This is based upon a 2% growth rate in skier numbers and 3% annual price increases. 4. Parking rates are assumed to increase 10% in 1989 (last increase was in 1986) and at the same rate as inflation (5%) from 1990-1993. 5. No revenues or expenses for the 1989 World Championships have been included other than the Town's donation to the Vail Valley Foundation. 6. Street Funding. The "Residents' Cost" of the current Street Improvement Program (see page 16) will be funded through a separate revenue source such as special districts or property taxes. 7. It is assumed that the pending UMPTA grant for six new buses will be approved in 1988. 8. An economic climate of moderate growth and 5% inflation have been assumed. EXPENDITURES l. Many expenditure figures in this study are driven by detailed plans for areas such as fleet replacement, capital improvements, street repair and maintenance, building repair and maintenance and employee compensation. 2. Salaries and wages increased 3.8% from 1987 to 1988. An estimated 4% increase in this item is used for 1989 and 1990 and 5% thereafter. Town of Vail salaries and wages are based upon Colorado municipal averages. Since many Colorado municipalities are experiencing financial difficulties, it is probably safe to assume that Town of Vail salaries and wages will grow at a slower rate than inflation for the next few years. 3. Health insurance premiums are expected to continue increasing at a rate substantially higher than general inflation. 4. New positions are added at a rate of $15,000 per year during the period 1990-1993. It is assumed that slight increases in personnel may be necessary to meet the growing demands for service. 3 5. The fleet replacement schedule is budgeted at the level necessary to maintain the fleet in good condition. Funds sufficient to replace the bus and fire fleets have been included in the Capital Projects Fund budget. 6. It is assumed that a net increase of three buses will occur during 1988 and 1989. No increase in the bus fleet is assumed from 1990 through 1993. SECTION II. FINDINGS A. General Fund. The General Fund must show the overall Town of Vail operating surplus or shortfall since the forecast model sets most other funds to at least a break-even level. Given the assumptions outlined above, the General Fund is forecasted.to incur operating shortfalls of between $50,000 and $437,000 through 1993. Operating shortfalls of $150,000 or less in this model are not particularly troublesome. Such shortfalls represent less than 1.5% of the total operating budget and thus fall well within the probable range of forecast error. Unfortunately, the projected shortfalls for 1992 and 1993 are $293,000 and $473,000 respectively and obviously are a cause for some concern. B. Capital Projects Fund. Given the assumptions built into the forecast, sufficient resources will be available to fund all "Required" and "Essential" projects on the Five Year Capital Projects plan (see page 15). In addition, the following amounts become available for other items: YEAR AMOUNT 1989 $228,000 1990 $217,000 1991 $446,000 1992 $505,000 1993 $1,200,000 (estimate) C. Real Estate Transfer Tax. No funding for open space purchases or projects will be available after 1988 unless transfer tax revenues significantly exceed budget. 4 D. Debt. Including notes, warrants, leases and bond payments, approximately 250 of Vail's budgeted expenditures are used to pay for debt service. The absolute amount of debt service payments will remain stable in the future with the exception of lease payments. Current financial plans include no new equipment leases after 1988. Therefore, all equipment lease payments will disappear by 1991. As illustrated by the chart below, the Town's debt as a percent of expenditures has decreased substantially in the past several years. If no new debt payments are added, this trend will continue in future years. TOV DEBT PAYMENTS AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL EXPENSES 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 34.6% 39.0% 36.6% 29.4% 28.0% 25.10 The Town of Vail has been aggressive but prudent in its past debt policies. Vail, as a new community, experienced explosive growth which dictated the timely construction of various public facilities and the subsequent acquisition of long term debt. This investment by the Town government has obviously contributed substantially to the overall growth and financial health of the Town. Vail still remains in a fairly aggressive debt position and creative mechanisms must be used for the funding of additional ma'or projects in the near future. SECTION III. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Although the projected General Fund shortfalls in 1992 and 1993 are still several years away, they are legitimate causes for concern. Examining the matter from a macro viewpoint, ' the problem arises from total expenditures accelerating slightly faster than total revenues. This imbalance can be traced directly to the model's assumption that property taxes will not keep pace with inflation (that is, the real dollar amount collected from property taxes will decrease each year). Property taxes have decreased from 20% of total General Fund revenue in 1984 to 14.6% in 1988. If property taxes were to keep pace with inflation, the projected General Fund shortfalls would disappear. From a policy viewpoint, this matter can be addressed in numerous ways. Some of the areas the Town Council could use to address this projected problem include: 5 o General Fund cutbacks o property tax increases o a shift of sales tax revenue from the Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund o hope that sales tax revenues increase faster than 5% per year and/or expenditures increase at a slower pace than forecasted o a combination of the above Staff strongly recommends that the Town Council address the issue of keeping property tax revenues (which are 15% of total General Fund revenues and the Town's second largest revenue source) static in future years. If this policy is _ adopted, the Council should recognize its effects in future policy making discussions. An important factor in any decision on property tax levels is the realization that property tax provides a fixed (inelastic) revenue source. Policies which continue to increase the relative importance of any one taxing source (the sales tax) in the Town's revenue structure are, in effect, placing the Town in a riskier financial situation. For example, municipal bond rating agencies annually review municipalities' financial condition and may adjust bond ratings from this review. Important criteria in this-process is the diversity of, dependence on and stability of a , municipality's revenue sources. The rating agencies do not want to see an over dependence on any one revenue source and like to see an appropriate balance in revenue sources. Continued decreases of property tax as a percent of General Fund revenue could be seen as a negative rating factor for the Town of Vail because of the dependence and diversity factors. 2. The Town of Vail should not incur principal and interest payments on a substantial amount of new debt until 1991 at the earliest unless a new revenue source is developed. Given the assumptions in this forecast, the Town will need to use most or all of its available funds to meet planned operating and Capital Project needs. This recommendation should be tempered, of course, for any major capital project which will produce a substantial payback in the form of cost savings, additional sales tax, or is funded through creative mechanisms. CONCLUSION• Unlike many other municipalities in Colorado, the Town of Vail continues to be in sound financial condition.

Some Town officials will be present. Some video will also be shown on the CBA. Your ideas and input are appreci;~.ted. Regards, r. / John S. Tuschman Enclosure TIME: 4:00 PM PLACE: Doubletree Hotel DATE: December 17, 1987 TOPIC: Dobson Arena completion proposal , COb!PLETIGP? OF DOESO"d AREA EY JANUARY, 1939 Preliminary Proposal This is a working paper submitted to stimulate discussion. Tt is proposed that Dobson Arena add two mezzanines or balconies and increase its sea.ting to almost 4000 for basketball _ and 5000 for concerts in time for the opening of the 4v'orld Ski Champ.ionships. The original purpose of this arena was to be a full purpose arena for concerts, hockey, basketball, etc. The conpletion cost is estimated at fro;n $ 900,000 tc $1,200,000, and the higher figure is used herein. The Town would obtain this amount by floating bonds in 1988. Debt service would be about $ 165,000 annually for ten years. The World Ski Championships could use Dobson for both opening an:l c-losing ceremonies as well.as almast daily award ceremonie.s arid concerts. The completed Dobson Arena could become the legacy left to the r.ommunity by the Championships.. Such a permanent facility was one af the original annou.nced goals of the Cnampionships. This proposal envisions a joint 60:40 partnership between the public and private sectors. The private sector commitment would be $ 66,000 per year in event net guarantees to .the Arena for ten years, in two stages as follows: -Stage One--- --Stage Two-- 1 thru 3 yrs. 4 thru 10yrs. An events promotion partnership: - 5 events/concerts minimum for 3 yrs.,then 3 for 7 yrs. @ $ 3950 eacn $ 19750 $ 11850 - CBA professional basketball 3 games/ yr. for 3 yrs., then 2 games/ yr. thereafter @ $ 2750 each 8250 5500 Total events partnership $ 25000 $ 17350 r , I -2- A lodging/restaurant/mercnant partnership and/or VRA: -6 to 8 meeting/conventions for 30 days minimum/ yr. ior 3 yrs., Lhen exhibit hall thereafter. Rent $900/ day for 3 yrs., $475/ day after $ 27000 $ 14000 Vail Valiey Foundation or otner - similiar group: - 16 days year-one f or W, S. C., then various events thereafter 11000 34650 Total guarantees/ yr. $ 66000 $ 66000 These private groups woald guarantee the above minimuns which will cover 40% of the total debt service on the bonds. These guarantees over the ten years total $ 660000 and will be backed by letters of credit or zero coupon government bonc:s or other acceptable collateral. The nrivate.sector groups however would receive credits against these guarantees for parking and con- cession revenues received at all Dobson events for the ten years at a formula to be agreed upon allowing for current arena revenues from these scurces but which will net about $.75 per person per event or game and $.20 per person per meeting/day. The ten concerts and games above annually must be usuaily on Saturday nites or else on Friday nites in the Winter. The Town presently loses about $200,000 annually on Dobson Arena operations, excluding debt service on current bonds. These guarantees would of course not. directly cut down this loss and the Town would directly have a further $ 99000 annually in debt service for ten years. But the events above will use Dobson only about 45-60 days per year. Over 300 days annually remain for the now multi-purpose arena to generate many other new revenues which will reduce greatly the Town's operating losses on Dobson. A key element here will be entrepreneurial management probably including outside aggressive management with a cor.unission remuneration. Events would include expanded attendance at some present conventions and at hockey games and skating exhibitions. They would also include such new events as iocal high school basketball games, state -3- campetitions on both the high school and college levels, NHL exhibitioiz hockey games, NiISL exhibition soccer games, etc. Playing in the "big"arena occasionally-would be.a major boost to tr.e Battle h".ountain High Sc:hool basketball progran. With Vail's central Colorado location and a major facility, it makes sense that Vail wouid compete with Denver and Colorado Springs fcr the state championships in basketball, volleyba'Ll and wrestling. These are major events with economic iallout to the communi.ty. Only preliminary discussion has occured with the Vail Valley Founc:ation, so its participation herein in presumptuous. However the Foundation has as announced purpose of buildiny facilities for the community. Z'he reason for that Foandation's proposed noninal guarantee in stage one for three years is because of its commitments for the W.S.C. With apologies to the Foundation, it is :ioped it might agree to the size commitments mentioned herein as this proposal ought to have the participation ancl backing of the Foundation. The V.V.F. also has developed a concert prono- tions staff for the Ford Amphitheatre and this could be expande:l for its Dobson events. This writer believes commitments can be obtained to "buy" regular season CBA game.s at a cost of about $ 18000/ game plus I-, gross over $26000/ game. At average ticket prices of $ 9.00 breakeven would be about $ 30000 or 3200 spectators per game. Each concert would alsa have about $10 tickets and a$30000 average budget for major entertainers. Garies and entertainments ~oulci also be combined on single bills if higher ticnet prices appearGd to be feasible. It is possible that the events pro- motion partnership cou13 be a non-profit corporation, but because of the risk of the above prcmotions at present it is felt that sane will have to be a Frofit-seekinc, er.tity to attract backers. T'his partnership will be made up of four to ten conununity-minded persons or companies who will jointly underwrite the 59 events outlined herein over the ten years. Each underwriters liability will be limited to 1k times his or_ its pro-rata investment in the partnership. . ~ ~ -4- The primary market for events will be 35 minutes drivetime to Dobson in the Wi.nter. Thus parts of Sur.unit County including Copper, Silverthorne, Frisco, etc. and all of Eagle County arE in the main marketing area for major pobson events. Keystone, Breckenridge, Leadville are in the secondary marketing area. = There are on 1-iinter weekend nights 31000 persons in the primary market area and an additional 28000 persons in the secondary market areas. Counting Glenwoad Springs as a third buz minor region, there are 80000 persons total as potential spectators for these major events. After three years the completecl Dobson is not envisioned as a convention center except as an exhibition arena and as a supple- mental major assembly hall. The concept here is Dobson Arena as a supglement to Congress Hall or similiar convention center. This i3ea presumes that Congress Hall might be redeveloped in some way to commence operations about December 1992. In the interim three years pobson would be a stopgap assemblage facility for at least thirty meeting/convention days ger year. Temparary break-out meeting rooms of course exist at existing lodges and hotels. It is further not the desire to injure current skating programs in Dobson. Getting 11HL exhibitions will helg the hockey programs for exanlple. Perhaps Vail could become a part home for the U.S. Olympic hockey team. However it is logical that time periods for many skating groups would be shortened. Thus an outdoor supplemental skating racility might be considered. Possible sites might be the top of the l.ibrary or the top of-part of the convention center or a corner of the top of the Lionshead parking structure. Timing is critical. This concept r,tust be finalized by the end of next month. The underwritings individuals and groups must be found and commitments and goverrunent approvals obtained by the beginning of Next April. Then plans, specs and bid letting can be 3one by early June. This will enable coritractors to guarantee completion by micl-January, 1989 in time for the opening of the C,'orld Ski Championships. 12/11/87 y ~.'.c•J~ . ~}S, .SZ~'' ~i.C~L ,Yy7>. ..4. *ZG 4~• ry;+'~v.r -:C r sFr f Sr±i t .r- +,*~-~S f ~t, { L, - . . b Z. . r~ -ti ' ~?f~iL ~ . ; '-k- £i t _ r1-~ f~ 1t ~ y. / i~ i A .

My mother died rather suddenly in Nebraska. I was faced with a problem. My daughter was in Vail visiting friends who had a new apartment and no phone. I called the Vail Police and could only give the name of the apartment complex and the number, not the address. About 1 hr. and 15 min. later, my daughter called home. A police officer had searched for 45 min. for the apartment. My daughter said he was very kind and drove her to a phone. He also offered her assistance for the next day, if she needed it. The woman who took my call in the first place was also very helpful. I had a terrible cold and could barely talk. I want to thank the two people involved, even though I don't know their names. After talking to my daughter I was able to settle down a bit and plan the trip to the funeral. I donIt know how often you have to do this sort of thing, but I want you to know how great I think you are, and you certainly deserved to be complimented and thanked. Sincerely, ' Judith-K.

Council is instituting a regular series of commentaries on current issues. The first installment addresses the recently enacted Business License 'Ordinance. . ,,-Last week we, the Vail,Town Council, approved a new ordinance designed to increase our community's marketing efforts. ' , While the technical aspects of the ordinance have been explained several times there appears to be some confusion surrounding the origin, intent, and projected implementation of the new law. First, some background. Last spring at two widely attended public input ~ sessions, the council learned that the single most important priority in the community was marketing Vail. Although neither specific methods of market- ing or fund raising for'this purpose were discussed, the groups were very clearly in favor of doing more to build up a year-round economy. Following these sessions, a committee was established to research possible funding mechanisms to increase Vail's marketing resources. Throughout the spring and summer we examined numerous options, including; reallocating some of . our existing budget, use taxes, bed taxes, increasing or reallocating sales taxes ro ert taxes ~ p p y ,.vendor's fees, head tax, real estate transfer tax, a tax on land but not improvements, and business license fees. After many . long hours of analysis and discussion, the committee recommended that the council focus on utilizing the business license approach since it involved ' all of us who benefit the most directly from increased marketing, the business owner. ' The money.raised by this method (roughly $600,000) will be contracted, by the council, to a professional marketing organ'ization. The intent of the contract will be to better promote Vail throughout the year, but particularly • . - ; ~ , r , . _ . k Ot} . i, 1 f : • ~~~F; ~ 7 ) ' tr' '~ye+i .r 1'V , ;'1:. ~ . i t f t. d,.. f. • . 4 - t. t f•.

The council and community will review ttie contract annually and, responding to public input, the ordinance expires in 3 years unless formally extended by the council. Those of us who have paid dues to the VRA will receive a pro-rate,refund of our dues based on the timing of the new ordinance. All business owners will have the option of paying their license fee by January 20, in one pay- ment, or in three equal installments on January 20; February 20, and March 20. ' Although the ordinance is not a perfect solution (what is?), the majority of council believe it represents a very positive first step toward the goal of improving Vail's marketing efforts. We recognize that our role is not only to work for you, the community, but with you, and we greatly appreciate your ongoing eontributions to this process. , . , _ , : ' . .
