Following the last board meeting we researched the issue of determining what ages to set for the definition of a senior citizen. The Following facts are submitted for your review. and analysis. -Presently VMRD senior ages are 65 men and 62 women. -Jim Collins recommends we set the age the same for males and females. He seriously doubts a discrimination suit could ever be won having different ages, but concurs that the social security ages may not be applicable for recreation fees. -The following parks and recreation departments and Vail Associates uses the following ages to define a senior. Vail Associates 65-69 years - discount $28; 70-free Aurora Parks & Rec 55 years North Jeffco Metro 62 years Greeley Parks and Rec 50 years South Suburban 65 years Denver Parks and Rec 65 years The following parks and recreation departments do not offer senior citizen discounts: Durango, Longmont, Colorado Springs 2. I recommend we set our senior age determination at 65 years for both males and females. Justification follows: -It is the age set in the Vail Valley by Vail Associates -The two largest parks and recreation departments in Colorado use this age. -The VMRD male age is already set at 65 -As the Vail Community retirement population continues to grow, there will be an increasing number of potential customers who qualify for the senior discount rate. Setting the age any lower will have a negative impact on our revenue producing potential.

He has been a seasonal employee, starting normally in mid April and finishing around the first of November each year. In the early years, he worked for Vail Associates on the Mid Vail Gondola during the winter, later he was employed by Manor Vail as houseman and security, a job he continued to do part time during the summer while working on the golf course. Bill's main job on the golf course was mowing roughs, although he had many other duties in the early and later part of the season, including mechanic's helper, cart repair, greens aerifying, clean up, etc. On Thursday, the 4th of October, Bill strained his back while helping Steve Jaramillo, our mechanic, move a piece of equipment. He didn't mention any problem that day nor the next, but Saturday, he could hardly get out of bed. He visited a Dr. Martin at Valley View Hospital on Saturday and then I believe another doctor on Monday the 8th, with x-rays, etc., showing damage to the back. The doctor stated much of the back problem has been happening over the years from sitting all day on the tractor mowing roughs and that the actual moving or lifting of the equipment on the 4th of October only aggravated the condition. Bill could have an operation to repair the damage but his sister (or close relative) has had something similar and the operation on her hasn't helped so he feels he'd rather not go through with it. Since the 6th of October, Bill has not been able to work because of the pain and he was told not to lift or do other activities that would increase the damage. He had been working at Manor Vail until recently doing light tasks but this also was getting painful. Bill Serna Letter Page Two Bill has received workmen's compensation for the nonaal period that he would have worked for the golf course, to the 2nd of November, and also has been paid by the VMRD the difference not covered by workman's compensation, plus some days extra. The last visit to the doctor stated Bill should be on total disability. He has applied for Social Security benefits which should start in the next few months. I don't know if Workman's Compensation is planning to cover payments until that time. Bill and his wife Nina live at the Avon Trailer Park, she is working at one of the motels in Vail as a miad. Bill, who is 62 years old, and Nina have 12 children, mostly all grown and working. They plan to move to Colorado Springs in late March, where they own a trailer and a lot. They also plan to sell their present trailer in Avon to one of their daughters. Bill has been the most ideal employee any employer could have. Always on time, rarely missed a day, a very loyal person and dedicated worker. He was very proud of his work and would come in anytime needed and would stay until the job was finished. Always friendly, always a big smile on his face, always willing to help any one in need. His leaving will be a big loss to the golf course maintenance staff. I believe it will take two workers to match Bill's output this coming season. Bill has been included in the Town pension plan for four or five years, same as full time employees. Since Bill will be leaving the area before long, I feel it appropriate to have a retirement or going away party for Bill, especially since he has been such a loyal and dedicated employee for over 23 years. Possibly plan for the end of February at the Clubhouse Restaurant, similar to other going away parties. A gift or gifts, bonus or other reward would be in order. Possibly Rob and the Board could have a session to discuss this further. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration.

Cl1 S l'~~~91 ~3 TO: Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: January 21, 1991 SUBJECT: Reorganization of Budget and Process for Zoning Code Revision Project Staff is recommending that the process for the Zoning Code Project be revised to use more efficiently and effectively the funding Council has allocated to the project. Staff has found that the project is taking much longer than originally intended. Over the past seven months, we have accomplished the following: 1. Revised GRFA and site coverage definitions for low density residential development have been completed. 2. Amendments to the pay-in-lieu parking program were approved at first reading, but have been "sent back" to the Task Force because of our concerns over what was being proposed. 3. SDDs are 90% complete and will be ready for formal review after an analysis of employee generation is completed. 4. Proposals have been set forth to amend GRFA and site coverage for multi-family and commercial buildings. 5. A comprehensive rewrite of CCI is 90% complete. 6. A preliminary proposal for amendments to the Administration, Variance and Conditional Use Chapters has been completed. 7. Recommendations for CCII amendments are 50% complete. 8. An inventory of issues in the Parking Chapter has been completed. If we continue on with the approach we have been using, how long will it take to compete the project, and how much will it cost? The answer: forever and a lot. The task at hand is to restructure the process to give the Town a solid product and at the same time, put some cap on spending. We strongly support the community's involvement in the process, and appreciate the Council's and Task Force's time spent working closely with the staff. However, our opinion is that public input could be used more effectively if it was focused on policy direction for the Code amendments. The staff would then take this direction and work on the "nuts and bolts" implementation of the policy direction. We propose that the following work be completed by the end of May, 1991: A. Amendment to 250 ordinance* B. Amendment to Parking Pay in Lieu program* C. Amendment to SDD for affordable housing and revised SDD process for standard SDDs* D. Amendment to GRFA and site coverage for multi-family zone districts* E. A complete summary of the remaining zoning code changes, which would include pointing out problems with each section of the code, proposed wording, and the necessary cross- references with other sections of the Code. F. A newsletter summarizing this approach and proposed changes for items listed in A, B, C, D, and E above to the community. * Assumes proposed amendments ~6 not involve'protracted public review. Staff believes ,that this approach will result in the most critical sections of the Code being amended in a timely manner. The summary of Code changes which remain will be used by the staff, and possibly a consultant, in the future to implement. Our suggestion is to implement this second tier of changes in one amendment process. This approach has the potential 1) to insure better cross-referencing among all the sections of the Code, 2) to encourage big picture thinking by the staff, task force, PEC and Council, and 3) to encourage compromise and resolution of amendments in a timely manner. Below is a budget summary for the project: $55,000 - Total Budget -32,603 - Spent in 1990 for Tom Braun's Contract 22,397 - Roll Forward to 1991 Budget + 3.500 - 1991 Budgeted Amount for DRB Guidelines 25,397 + 3.500 - 1991 Budgeted Amount for VA/Town of Vail Trails Map 28,897 - 2.500 - Nolan Rosall Contract for Housing Segment of SDD Amendment 26,397 - Approximate Amount for Tom Braun's contract to end of May, 1991. The budget above would cover Tom Braun's work up to the end of May, 1991. His work program would essentially include the points outlined above (A-E). This approach also allows for Nolan Rosall to complete the housing statistics for the SDD ordinance. His data will be used to determine actual numbers of employees per square foot of various types of uses. This information will then be used by the staff to determine the amount of affordable housing that should be required for a Special Development District. Our department considers this project to be extremely important. We would like to also accomplish the Design Review Board guidelines in 1991. However, it appears that it would be more beneficial to focus our efforts on the zoning code amendment process. Instead of asking for additional funds, staff wishes to reallocate the $3,500 originally designated for the design guidelines, and $3,500 designated for the VA Town of Vail Trails Map to this project. If in April it appears that we will not need the $3,500 originally designated for the Trails map, the map project can be implemented. If the $3,500 is needed for the zoning project, staff suggests that the existing Trails map be reprinted.
