The tremendous amount of work which was done in advance of the event to ensure that no electrical problems would occur paid off handsomely. Also, the commitment of manpower during the event in case any problems did occur was the ultimate in foresightful commitment and involvement. I sincerely appreciate all you did to help make this event a successful one. Your efforts were mainly behind the scenes, but were critically important to the success of the Championships and how the ski experience in Colorado is" viewed by the rest of the world. Thanks again for your great effort. RUP/bsc cc: David Sage Vail Town Council Bob Knous Bob Krohn ,~ Since el , Rondall U.

Included in that discussion, was the matter of summer street entertainment and music in the mall. I understand that the town is in the process of sending out requests for proposals (RFPs) for someone to administer the town budget for this program. It was discussed that one of our member businesses, Quayle Productions, has submitted a proposal to the town for this contract for consideration. :[t was the feeling of our membership that this is one of our more important programs during the summer months and that it should be a good one that creates an enjoyable atmosphere and appeals to our visitors to the mall. Keeping in mind that we all want to get as much "bang for the buck" as possible and use funds efficiently, we certainly don't, on the other hand, want to see the quality of the program compromised. Assuming that the costs are not way out: of line, our association would certainly endorse the awarding of the contract to Quayle Productions. It is the feeling of our members that Brad Quayle knows Vail, has a favorable track record, and is certainly capable of administering this program. Again, since this is one of our more important summer programs, I would urge the town, on behalf of our association membership, to move forward with a sense of urgency with regard to this program. If appropriate, please feel free to share this letter with the members of the Town Council. in erel , kris anen President Lionshead Merchants Association cc: Sally Clair Mike Phillips Rob Levine Mike Robinson Dan Mulrooney li ~\ ~ . _,. ~~ -- ~' ~. ~ Y ~~ A~ i i ~~ i ~n~+ Y {, Ai 3' ~s(i ~'gR __ Y Y • ~ T - a'~~ ~ x~a ~q j~~ V spy ~-~f - w~e~. -}~ -~-~,a~,l~, a,Q~. a~ ~a~. ~.~ G~~" wrao oun. at,wku I l o-t o-~ ~- - ~ (~~ ~s~. ,~~ t ~- JI 1~ s I~r- a.~ t c~,c~,d- ~c,~iiy~.eU a f e ~ I (~ ~~. town 75 south frontage road vail, Colorado 81857 (303) 476-7000 office of fhe town manager Mr. Charles R. Crowley West Vail Liquor Mart 2151 North Frontage Road West Vail, Colorado 81657 Dear Charlie: TM ZT~L 199 February 21, 1989 I, too, was dismayed to read in the February 8th issue of the Denver Post that I had been critical of people in Vail for expecting that the World Championships would be like Christmas. What I told the reporter in the telephone interview was that I felt it was unfortunate that some people in Vail had higher expectations for the World Championships in terms of crowds than they should have and that we never expected it would be as big as Christmas. Over the past few months in my reports to the Council and in monthly reports to the Council by Bob Krohn of the Vail Valley Foundation, we have emphasized that we did not expect there would be people here on a destination basis of more than 90 percent of what we experience at Christmas and New Year's. However, we planned for larger crowds because we did not want to be accused of not having parking, transportation, and security work for this event. The greatest criticisms heard of ski events from the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid through the last two World Championships and the Winter Olympics in Calgary, was that transportation did not work. We wanted the experience in Vail to be positive from a logistical standpoint. That is why we over-planned for transportation, parking, and security. The following quote from an article in Ski Racing magazine, November, 1988, may illustrate the point as well as anything: "If things are going well, Phillips says you can chalk it up to planning. The Vail championships have been planned, pre-planned, and rehearsed in annual World Cup and American Ski Classic events for several years. For Vail, throngs of visitors are not a rarity, they're a way of life, and even though a good crowd is N ~. Mr. Charles R. Crowley February 21, 1989 Page 2 expected for the Worlds, the valley will actually host fewer guests than it does during a busy Christmas week. Still, nothing is being taken for granted. Vail's municipal transportation system is being beefed up with healthy vehicular donations from Greyhound. The local police force will be backed by 50 state troopers, thanks to extra money appropriated by the state legislature. Even the state highway department is on line and ready to pitch in when the snow flies. So is the Department of Defense, which is donating manpower and additional snow removal equipment. To accommodate the expected influx of cars in the area, the town has even provided several large outlying parking areas which will be linked to the existing transportation network." I hope that this article illustrates for you our intentions in knowing we were not going to have destination visitors in the numbers that we have during certain peak periods during the ski season, but we also wanted to be prepared for a major influx of day visitors to watch certain events. I believe the World Alpine Ski Championships was an incredibly positive event for Vail and Beaver Creek. Because of planning beyond the actual needs, we were able to accommodate transportation and parking needs of everyone involved without a hitch. All we have heard is positive feedback concerning those logistical factors. I do regret, however, that some expectations for crowds during the event were higher than we realized. Most of us who were involved in the planning and carrying out of the event were very pleased with the results because, except for the men's downhill, we experienced larger crowds and higher occupancy rates than were experienced in Crans-Montana, Switzerland for the World Championships in 1987. That is fairly significant since skiing is the number one sport in Switzerland and is not in the United States. It is unfortunate the Denver Post reporter noted my comments as being critical of any Vail businesses, because it was not stated or intended in that way. I certainly apologize to you for this misunderstanding that you felt I was being directly critical of Vail business owners. Sincerely, Rondal 1 U/.

Frontage Road West Vail, CO 81657 Dear Ron, I caas dismayed, to say the least, to note that you Caere quoted in the February 8th issue of The Denver Post as "criticizing merchants and restaurant workers in the Fail Valley for expecting that this (The World Championships) would be Christmas". I caon't dispute the fact that some merchants might have had expectations that business might be fairly significant during the World Championships. However, the fact that the hype for the last few years, and the fact that the Town of Vail certainly- prepared for "Christmas" business by preparing additional parking lots, renting and borrowing buses, and doing caho knows what else extra for the. Championships, (basically a lot more than :during "Christmas") might be the .reason that some people felt that business might be a little better than usual. At any rate, for you to criticize the business people of Vail br.any of your employers, is in_my mind, an inappropriate thing to do for a person in your position. Some day, .you may find out where the butter comes from for your bread... .Sincerely, ~ ~ ~-~'~ ~ w Charles R. Crowley LION SQUARE LODGE AND CONFERENCE CENTER 660 W. LIONSHEAD PLACE VAIL.

ISSUE ~ Is the District's liability increased by charg' g a fee for the use of the cross country ski trail? CONCLUSION Liability to members of the general public using the cross country ski trail for a fee does not -increase the District's liability in and of itself. However, perhaps a higher degree of care is necessary in the maintenance of the trail because negligence, as always, causes liability to attach. DISCUSSION The mere fact of charging for the use of the cross country ski trail (presuming, for the sake of this memo, that an effective means of enforcement can be found), does not in and of itself increase the District's liability. However, a higher degree of care may arguably attach in the maintenance of the trail> Under old common law, once the fee was charged the skiers would be invitees, and a higher duty of care may arguably be expected to those individuals. That distinction has now been abolished, but a duty may still be owed. For example, it might be expected that a portion of the fee would be used for maintenance of the trail, and thus make it reasonably safe for a skier. Overall, the District can expect to incur no more liability for charging a fee for use of this trail than they would for one paying to use the golf course, a swimming pool or a tennis court. Placement of appropriate signage indicating that the skiers were proceeding at their own risk and that the area was not patrolled (if that is the case) would forewarn users of their obligation to exercise reasonable care themselveso COLLINS AND COCSREL, P.C.

Fowler RE: Abstention from Voting DATE: February 14, 1989 ~' _~v ISSUE What is a Board member's obligation to vot~e~ "yea" or "nay" on matters coming before the Board, and when can a Board member abstain (assuming that there is no conflict of interest problem)? CONCLUSION In most instances, a Board member cannot be compelled to vote. DISCUSSION There is no readily ascertainable statutory or case law directive as to when an elected official, including a board member of a special district, must vote. While it seems inherent that having run for office and representing the constituents of his district would necessitate positive or negative votes on issues coming before the board, the best, and perhaps only, remedy would be for the constituents to demand recall of the official if he does not exercise his obligations as their elected official, including voting. Argument can be made that the non-voting or abstaining director may be deemed to have abandoned his office if he does not exercise the duties inherent therein. Recall remains the only good option, absent other extenuating circumstances, of encouraging the elected official to positively or negatively reflect his vote. ~ ,. TIMOTHY M. O'BRIEN, C.P.A.

For these same reasons, resort towns also have a different financial relationship with the state of Colorado than do other communities. This report is an attempt to characterize the unique qualities of resort communities as they relate to a town's ability to generate revenues for the State of Colorado and thereby provide improved understanding for local and state officials wrestling with policy and financial issues affecting the state's resort towns. ~.Il~g~~gfl®n5 This analysis focuses on the amount and nature of state revenues generated within Colorado's ski communities. Such an analysis is complicated by the variety and complexity of the tourism industry. For example, it is recognized that a large portion of skiing related expenditures occur outside of local resort towns (e.g., at Stapleton Airport or in the City of Denver) and that these visitor expenditures are not accounted for in this type of analysis. Further, in many instances the state does not maintain data on revenue generation by town or county, thus, certain assumptions are required to develop the level of detail desired. Finally, it is acknowledged that there exists within the CAST membership, and within the broad base of communities that support Colorado's tourism economy, tremendous diversity in the nature of services provided and the types and level of revenues generated. By necessity, this analysis is supported by general resort characteristics. Findings are broadly representative of all resort communities but should be applied carefully in specific situations or to other industries. Ac~n®`vletlgetnenfs BBC wishes to extend its appreciation to the CAST representatives who oversaw this analysis including Mr. Gary Martinez, Breckenridge Town Manager; Mr. Ron Phillips, Vail Town Manager; Ms. Flo Raitano, Mayor Town of Dillon; and Mr. Daryl Shrum, Winter Park Town Manager. Our appreciation is also extended to Mr. Tom Dunn of the Colorado Department of Revenue who helped in identifying data sources and limitations saving us many hours of unnecessary research. ~~ This report was prepared by Browne, Bortz & Coddington, Inc. (BBC) and authored by Ford Frick and Scott Schroeder. 2 IF~~CI1'I'IVE ~I.TI~d1i~A12~' Colorado's resort communities have a variety of unusual economic and demographic characteristics that influence the relationship between state and local governments particularly the degree to which the state experiences fiscal benefits and costs from resort community operations. 'T'his summary reviews key findings from the following analysis of the economic relationship of resort towns and state General Fund revenues. ~®nclusg®ns ~ . A typical dest8nat1On resort community generates 55 percent more state revenue per resadent than occurs on a statewide average. Colorado's General Fund collects approximately $2.4 billion annually, principally from personal income and sales taxes. On a per capita basis, a typical resort area will generate 55 percent more tax receipts than statewide averages: FIGURE I. RESORT COMMUNITIES AND STATE REVENUES, COLORADO GENERAL FUND PERSQNAL SALES ANO IfdCOaE TAX USE TAX OTF~R II 1400 4200 (31139 1000 0 0 ~ B00 n; 1736 U ~ 600 a a ~ 400 a 200 0 RESORT STATENIDE CObIITIES pyERp~ 3 As noted above, Colorado's resort communities contribute approximately $1,140 per capita toward the state's General Fund account. This compares with statewide per capita receipts of approximately $736. 2. IF'or certain key revenue sources, such as state sales tax receipts, per capita revenue generation in Colorado resorts is nearly three tunes statewide averages. Colorado's resort communities are prolific generators of sales tax receipts as well as strong generators of income tax revenues: Corporate taxes are the only significant .revenue sources where resort area contributions lag behind statewide averages. 3 . Colorado `s resort towns have unusual demographic and economic characteristics that tend to reduce state service demands and enhance state revenue .generation. 4 Resort communities have fewer school aged children and fewer elderly residents than other Colorado communities. A large portion of the population is in the work force thus community income and productivity is high. The tourism business is retail and service oriented and thus generates a high level of sales and business taxes, particularly in comparison with the state as a whole. Colorado's destination tourism business draws visitors from outside the state thus generating new, or basic, income and employment. All of these factors combine to enhance tax generation and reduce service demands. Despite their revenue generation characteristics, Colorado's resort towns do not require a disproportionate share of state services. In fact, for two of the state's largest expenditure categories -public education and social services - resort communities receive very modest state reimbursements in comparison with statewide average. With the possible exception of certain programs within the Department of Local Affairs and the Department of 1Vatural Resources, local resort communities place modest demands on state services and receive few disproportionate reimbursements. It should also be recognized that Colorado's resort towns are not the only recipients of visitor expenditures. Past research conducted for the Colorado ski industry estimated the Denver Metropolitan Area received nearly $250 million annually in retail sales as a result of its role as regional service center for the Colorado ski industry. ~ . despite relatively low wage scales, per capita income tax generation in resort areas is slightly higher than statewide averages. Colorado realizes approximately 57 percent of its General Pund revenues from state income tax and is therefore very sensitive to trends in per capita income. Tourist towns are often associated with lower paying retail and service jobs and with pronounced employment seasonality. These perceptions are accurate (average income per worker in resort areas is roughly 20-25 percent or below statewide averages), yet other economic characteristics combine to enhance income tax generation: multiple job holding is commonplace; the concentration of population between the ages of 18 and 35 result in very high percentage of the population participating in the labor force; 5 unemployment rates have traditionally remained below statewide averages. As a result, these factors combine to produce unusually high income tax receipts on a per capita basis. Atypical county with destination resort based economy will generate $455 per capita in state income tax receipts, which compares with $425 per capita statewide. 5. PZesort areas receive very modest state school equalization funds -~ the largest single expenditure for the state. A typical resort area will receive less than one third the per pupil allocation distributed statewide. Resort areas are characterized by high property valuations which results in strong property tax revenues. Thus, school related local property tax revenues are high and demand for service low because of fewer school aged children. This combination reduces the burden on the State of Colorado for participating in local school finance: State School Il)istrict Funding, ll987 Percent of State Dollars Per Average Total School School District Daily Attendance Entitlement District Funding Statewide Average $1,820 37.2% Eagle County $504 6.6% Pitkin County 347 4.7 Summit County 350 4.4 School funding is the single most expensive service provided by the state. Data for 1988, which would reflect new distribution formulas and recent reallocations, are unavailable although it is believed that the above relationships have not changed significantly. The ~'olorado Association of Ski Towns The resort area revenue study was sponsored by The Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST). CAST represents 17 municipalities where the local economy is largely dependent upon skiing and tourism. CAST was formed in part in recognition that ski towns and tourist service communities face unique . ~ . ~. ~ 6 challenges in providing municipal services to residents and visitors alike. The membership of CAST represents a diverse collection of municipalities. Certain communities are almost exclusively dependent upon skiing and tourism for their economic well being. Other communities have broadly mixed economies with mining, agriculture or other influences sharing the economic base with skiing and tourism. Table S-1 details the CAST membership. This report summarizes a larger analysis of the fiscal relationship of resort communities and state government prepared by Browne, Bortz & Coddington, Inc. (BBC) in December 1988.

As a homeowner at Garmisch Drive, I would like to inform you of a situation which I feel may affect our property values. There has been a proposal submitted of rezoning and/®w variance of the Primary/Secondary Lots 11 and 12, Block G, Vail Das Schone Filing 2, 2338 and 2358 Garmisch Drive, to a higher density of more than 2 units per lot for the construction of a 28 unit Employee Housing Project. The astetic value of the surrounding landscape and views would be decreased just as the values of neighboring properties through the burden of additional traffic, required parking space, trash removal, etc. Certainly there are larger tracts available throughout the Valley which are more suitable for a 28 unit-complex with its necessary facilities. I see no need trying to squeeze a project of this size into two small Primary/Secondary lots located in an established residential area. I am urging you to contact the City Council and express your concern. A petition, signed by many concerned property owners of West Vail, opposing any rezoning for the purpose of tinis project has been submitted to the City Council.
