VAIL TOWN COUNCIL WORK SESSION TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1988 2:00 p.m. EXPANDED AGENDA 2:00 1. Discussion of a Special Events Banner Program for the Town Kristan Pritz of Vail Pete Burnett Ceil Folz Action Requested of Council: Determine if the staff should proceed with a special events banner program for the Town. Background Rationale: The question of whether or not the Town of Vail should have a system for special events banners has been raised by Council and community members. In addition, the Vail Valley Foundation also expressed a desire to work with the Town on a b«nner program for the World Alpine Championships. Staff has completed some preliminary research on the banner program in response to these comments. 2:20 2. Information Update 2:25 3. Other 2:30 4. Site Visits for Visitors Center Jim Morter Harry Frampton Background Rationale: After the presentation and discussion at the Jan. 19 evening meeting, it was suggested the Council do site visits of possible Visitors Center sites. 3:20 5. Discussion of Sites for Visitors Center b-~ ».. ti TO: Town Council - FROM: Community Development/Public Works Departments DATE: February 2, 1988 ~~ Special Event Banner Program The question of whether or not the Town of system for special events banners has been community members and Town Council members The Vail Valley Foundation also expressed the Town on a banner program for the World Championships. Vail should have a brought up by over the past year. ~ desire to work with Alpine In response to these comments, the Public Works/ :• Tran:aportation Department looked~at several possibilities for a ~~' special events banner program along the parade route. (Please ~.' see attached ma of p parade route.) Three options were investigated. Please note these costs only relate to the poles and do not include the costs for banners: 1. Utilize Existing Street Light Poles This option is not feasible because of damage which would be caused to the poles and lights by wind blowing the banner. In discussions with flag and flagpole vendors, the proposed banner will act as a "sail" Our existing street light poles are not structurally sound enough to support a banner of the size proposed. 2. Purchase Flagpoles and have Town Personnel Install Cost: 68 19-ft anodized bronze aluminium flagpoles $50,000 Labor cost - installation 15,000 TOTAL $65,000 Pros: Banners would be mounted at equal height (16 ft) on poles spaced at 100 ft intervals on one side of the entire parade route. Cons: 1. Flagpoles would have to be permanently mounted because of the base configuration. 2. High replacement costs from vehicles, etc. hitting the flagpoles. ,,~ .. 3. Town Fabricate and Install Flaq oles Cost: 68 16 ft fabricated steel poles $20,400 Labor cost - installation (removable base) TOTAL Pros: 1. Banners would be _ (16 ft) on poles intervals on one route. 34,680 $55,080 mounted at equal height spaced at 100 foot side of the entire parade 2. Poles would be fabricated out of 3" x 3" box steel and could be painted any color. The square pole design is in keeping with the design concepts outlined in the Town's Signage Improvement Program, 3. More flexibility of design, a Vail logo, swirl, etc. can be fabricated to go near the top of the pole. 4. The poles can be fabricated to be removable. 5. Lower initial cost 6. Town replacement costs are lower than if poles were purchased from a cataloq. 7. Poles can be fabricated this winter for installation next summer. Public Works fabricated an example of a prototype banner pole which will be shown to the Council at the meeting. If the Town Council would like the staff to proceed with the banner program, the staff would recommend that we work with Jeff Winston to refine the design ideas of the proposal. We feel that much of the work can be accomplished by Town staff. However, Jeff Winston's input on design and location will be helpful. The staff would also follow recommendations in the Vail Signage Improvement Program that suggest:: "The design of Vail signs should be adaptable to special events signage. Signposts should have space whereby banners and special signage can be temporarily added without negating the primary purpose of the sign. Colors and typefaces of permanent signs should be carefully selected so that unique special events signage can complement the permanent signage. s,. The consultant's tasks would include: 1. Review existing conditions that will influence the location and design of the banners in Vail. 2. Determine types of banners and locations. This includes the mounting and support systems for the banners, preliminary graphics, and general fabrication and installation costs. - 3. The actual cost for the implementation of the project will depend on the direction the Council gives the staff in ,. respect to the following questions: ;_ ..y a. Where should the banners be located? Should they be concentrated in the Village or should they also - extend along Meadow Drive? b. Is the intent to have street banners up throughout the year, or only for special events? If the banners are to be used only for special events, which special events should have banners? c. Should the World Alpine Ski Championships participate in the funding of the banner program? d. Should original designs be used for the banners, or should the staff try to work from catalog banners? Once the staff has received further direction from the Council, more accurate cost estimates will be possible. At this time, the staff would like to know if the Council is interested in the project and if so, what is the scope of the banner program? _ i_ _ I 0 ~ ~ - „__ ... rN f/ tl » A • ~ WHITE RIVER NATIONAL FOREST ~ ~ W rN Z W ~ ~i= ' . $ g Q~{~ Tu- ~ ~ Uz F ~ ~ • „ ~ .,. n . 1 1C ~ r VAIL POTATO PATCH 3 . .,.

Colorado Request for Funds Steve Barwick and I had further meetings with Brad Quayle concerning the Bravo! Colorado request for funds from the Council for the Masters of Music Concerts proposed for next summer. A revised proposal from Brad should be enclosed in your packet for consideration next Tuesday evening at the regular Council meeting. It is my understanding that Brad is now requesting a total of $56,625 from the Council rather than the $85,000 figure presented earlier this week. The new figure has been arrived at by Brad in the following way: 1. Brad talked to Christine McGinley and rechecked the Vail Institute's expense for last year and says the actual cost for street entertainment in Vail was $22,500 rather than the $8,000 we had been told. 2. Brad is assuming that figure this year for street entertainment will be a maximum of $27,740 for street entertainment, plus $4,125 for his administrative costs, which, if true, would leave only $2,375 remaining out of the $34,000 the Town has budgeted for street entertainment and summer programming for the Masters of Music program. 3. Therefore, he is requesting an additional $25,000 in order to bring the Town's contribution for summer programming up to a higher level. The points I feel are important to remember from an historical perspective in dealing with the Foundation on the Amphitheater are the following: 1. The Foundation agreed to be responsible for all programming of the Amphitheater until an endowment of $430,000 is raised and committed to the Town. A lease agreement recently approved by the Council states that the Foundation will be responsible for at least 20 events and mentions nothing about Town contributions to that programming effort. 2. The Vail Valley Foundation was informed clearly at budget time when they attended the budget meeting to request funds that the Town was budgeting $34,000 for summer programming which included a certain amount for street entertainment. 3. I believe Bravo! Colorado will have significant fund raising capabilities in the private sector. Memorandum - Town Council February 12, 1988 Page 2 In light of the points outlined in this memorandum, I recommend the Council consider entering into a contractual agreement with Bravo! Colorado for the $34,000 budgeted including street entertainment and that the organization use this seed money along with that prov-ided by the Foundation and Vail Associates to mount their private fund raising campaign. I feel very supportive of the concept and the program being planned by Bravo! Colorado, but I also believe the amount of funding requested from the Town goes far beyond what our understandings and agreements with the Foundation have been up to this time. RVP/bsc Sunday, .February 14, 1.988 ;Vail, Aspen top `Post poll of ski experts By The Denver Post Aspen -and Vail are synonom- ous with skiing nationally. And according o a poll of Colorado. ski experts, the two resorts are the best in Colorado, The Denver Post polled 10 of Colorado's most .knowledgeable skiers in 13 separate categories to determine the best of Colora- do skiing. While Aspen and Vail tied for best resort. with four votes each, Winter Park was rated the best `_, one-day ski trip in the state. If the amenities aren't all that ~~~ important and it's solely the quality of the powder that deter- mines your preference, Steam- :' boat shares equal billing with Vail.
