I believe this board meets the second Wednesday of every month. I should be able to easily schedule my time so that any conflicts can be avoided. I have been a resident in the Town of Vail for approximately nine years. The exception being when the West Vail area was de-annexed. I feel that I should return to the community in the form of time some of the benefits that I have received from the community. Further, I have no interests financially, active or passive, in any liquor/alcohol-type or related business anywhere. I believe this is a concern. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if I can provide additional information. Sincerely, i C/~,~,'~ ~--~ Ann C. Mardis Phone, Home: 476-4899 Office: 476-2466 Home Address: #2-D, 909 Red Sandstone Rd.

Special accounting is allowed for those qualified non-profit organizations selling taxable tangible personal property for the purposes of fund raising to provide community services. This special accounting exempts qualified organizations from reporting and remitting Town of Vail sales tax collected. Organizations eligible for reporting exemption include those organizations which have been authorized in writing by the Internal Revenue Service as a Section 501 (c)(3) organization. The Town Finance Director may extend the reporting exemption to other organizations which are not for profit and whose fund raising activities are primarily for the providing of services which directly benefit the citizens of the Town of Vail by reducing the burden of the Town to provide such services. The total proceeds of qualified fund raising activities must be retained and expended by the qualifying organization to provide charitable services. Activities for which the organization receives a percentage of the proceeds of taxable sales or is merely lending its name are not eligible for exemption. SALES TAX POLICY 88-14 PAGE 2 An eligible fund raising actiivity shall not include those activities which constitute a trade or business that is regularly carried on and is not substantially related to the organization's tax exempt status. Activities which are conducted from a fixed or permanent location on a daily or weekly basis will be considered the operation of a trade or business for profit and thereby ineligible. Organizations which have been qualified who conduct an activity which does not meet the qualifying criteria must report and remit the sales taxes collected. Fund raising for the purpose of providing travel or entertainment to members of the organization unrelated to the providing of community services are ineligible and must be reported and remitted to the Town of Vail. To qualify for reporting exemption the organization shall apply to the Town of Vail on forms prescribed by the Finance Director. The Finance Director will review the application and may require any additional documentation as needed to determine qualification and past compliance with this ordinance. A special license will be issued to each organization listing the name, address, principal agent for the organization and a statement of the special reporting privileges. This license is to be displayed in a conspicuous location by the organization at all activities where taxable tangible property is being sold.
