1:45 Council's Role
Is Council's role one of enforcement and regulation or
facilitator? Free rein versus autocracy should be
discussed. Regarding complaints, Council should be prepared
to cite specific occurrences so everyone may understand the
complaint. Are the issues cited "policy" issues with boards
and staff when these entities are carrying out Council
directives? Discuss the concept that "it used to be better
because it was easier." Because construction was down 1984-
1988 and we have seen incredible construction increases in
the past eighteen months to two years, the system has become
deluged with processing applications. Does this account for
some of the public frustration? How do we compare with
other communities, such as Aspen? Can we do a better job
through improved communications? (Comments gleaned from
Council work sessions.)

TOWN OF VAIL
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT/PLANNING
FIVE YEAR OPERATING AND
CAPITAL BUDGET FORECAST
AND STAFF FINANCIAL OPINION
February 14, 1991
PURPOSE
The broad purpose of this forecast is to estimate the level of
revenues and expenditures for the Town of Vail through 1996 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 five year
budget forecast will be updated annually in order to continually
monitor the trends affecting the Town's financial situation.
METHODOLOGY
This document is divided into four sections:
Section I: Assumptions. Briefly outlines and justifies
the major assumptions behind the forecast.
Section II: Findings. Lists the significant findings of
the forecast.
Section III: Conclusions and Recommendations. Presents ~
staff opinion on the Town's current and
future financial position.
Section IV: The actual spreadsheets used to make the
forecast.
1
SECTION I. ASSUMPTIONS
Given the fact that accurately predicting the annual ups and
downs of future years is a nearly impossible task, the estimates
used in this report show a high degree of constancy. For
example, even though annual sales tax increases are likely to
vary considerably, this report is based upon the assumption of
constant 5~ increases for the years 1992-1996. In this way the
forecasts contained herein may be considered to be "plain
vanilla" while the real world is likely to be another flavor
altogether.
Does this mean that the forecasts, being inherently inaccurate,
are worthless? No. What it instead means is that the forecasts
should be used to highlight and understand likely trends in the
Town's future finances. That is, if the world behaves in a
fashion reasonably consistent with our past experiences, the
findings noted below in Section II, can be considered as
reasonable expectations.
The following items summarize the major assumptions included in
this report.
A. REVENUE
1. Sales Tax. The Town's sales tax revenue has increased at an
average annual rate of 9.1~ from 1984-1990. An estimate of
5~ annual growth in future sales tax revenues is assumed.

1990 (est) 6.1~ 4.3~ <1.8~>
*Figures adjusted to correct for annexation issues regarding West
Vail.

2. Property Tax. No increase in property tax revenues is
assumed except for those increases due to new construction
and the expected annexation of remaining Intermountain
properties in 1991.
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 or some other combination of these factors.
4. Parking revenues are assumed to increase 7$ in 1992 and 5$
per year thereafter due to increased demand and minor rate
increases.
5. Real Estate Transfer Tax revenues are assumed to average
$1.2 million per year. This is slightly below the average
tax receipts received since 1980.
6. An economic climate of moderate growth and 5~ inflation, as
measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPIj, has been
assumed.
7. A sale or financing of part or all of the Berry Creek 5th
Filing in order to raise $1 million for the General Fund has
been assumed.
B. EXPENDITURES
1. Many expenditure estimates in this study are driven by
detailed plans for areas such as fleet replacement, capital
improvements, street repair and maintenance, building repair
and maintenance and employee compensation.
2. Salaries and wages, and all benefits except health insurance
for current employees increased 3.8~ in 1988, 2.6~ in 1989,
5$ in 1990, and 6.7$ in 1991. An estimated 6~ increase in
this item is used for 1992 and 1993 and 5$ thereafter. As
the Colorado economy has begun to pull out of the very slow
growth of recent years, we have experienced increased wage
competition.
3. Health insurance premiums are expected to continue
increasing at a rate substantially higher than the general
inflation rate. A 16$ growth rate has been used in this
study. Town employees are expected to share in paying for
future health insurance increases.
4. New positions have been added at a rate of $30,000 per year.
This assumption is based upon the necessity of meeting
increased service demands.

SECTION II. FINDINGS
The following findings arise from the assumptions listed above.
A. Four recent occurrences have combined to notably alter the
outlook for the Town's financial condition in the next few
years.
• The budget for rebuilding and maintaining Vail's streets
has increased by a total of $2.4 million for the years
1992-1996.
• Over $500,000 of new General Fund services were included
in the 1991 budget.
• Sales tax revenue growth has decreased dramatically in
recent months. Sales tax growth for the past six months
was only 1.8$ versus an average of 9.1~ for the past
seven years. Furthermore, the outlook for sales tax
gains in 1991 are uncertain due to the national recession
and the war.
• The 1991 budget included lease/purchases for buses and
land which have added over $300,000 to the 1992 and 1993
budgets.
The effect of these four changes is that this budget projection
now shows significant shortfalls in the capital budget for the
years 1992-1994. Please see page eight for details.
B. Approximately 75$-80$ of the Town's total revenue stream can
be categorized as "elastic" revenue. That is, it varies in
direct relation to the level of economic activity in town.
This proportion of elastic revenue is considerably higher
than is normally found in most American municipalities and
has the effect of increasing the impacts (both positive and
negative) of changes in the local economy. Given the
assumptions of this study, the Town's reliance upon elastic
revenue sources will continue to grow slightly each year.

SECTION III. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS -
The high sales tax growth in past years has helped to create a
very desirable financial situation for the Town of Vail. We have
been able to increase General Fund Services, fund a major parking
project, defease all outstanding Real Estate Transfer Tax
warrants, and plan for early retirement of some of our existing
debt without a tax increase. Furthermore, the Town has done an
excellent job of funding the maintenance and replacement of its
major capital assets and has been able to begin a program of
park, landscaping, and recreation path improvements to meet the
demands of residents.
Now that the sales tax growth rate has slackened (hopefully only
temporarily) we can no longer expect to increase service levels
and capital expenditures through the painless process of relying
upon sales tax revenue growth which continually outpaces
inflation. It appears that we have followed that course as far
as we can. From 1992 through 1995 it is likely that new services
and capital expenditures will be possible only through
reallocation of current resources and/or new revenue sources.
RECOMMENDATION I
The Town of Vail has not adjusted its property tax rate to
account for inflation since 1985. This practice has resulted in
a decrease in real dollar property taxes paid by Vail property
owners of 27~ since 1985. Looked at another way, Vail property
owners have been given a tax cut of $500,000 in 1991 due to this
practice. The cumulative revenue loss to the Town of Vail since
1986 is nearly $1.4 million dollars and now continues to accrue
at a rate of $500,000 per year.
Town staff recommends that this practice be discontinued for the
years 1992-1995.
RECOMMENDATION II
The latest cost increases in the Town's multi-year street
reconstruction budget are likely to preclude the possibility of
funding other needed capital maintenance and replacement items.
Town staff recommends that the street reconstruction budget be
decreased in the years 1992-1995 to a level more consistent with
the Town's funding capabilities.
6
RECOMMENDATION III
The current five year capital project list includes $460,000 per
year for debt service on a new building to house the Vail Police
Department.
Given the current outlook for the Town of Vail's finances, Town
staff recommends that the new Police building be paid for through
a tax increase.

Dear Vail Resident or Guest:
In an attempt to maintain the quality of life in Vail and to
ensure the beauty of our community, we are taking several
proactive steps to deal with the ongoing problem of trash. The
Town of Vail, through its Code Enforcement Officers employed by
the Police Department, will monitor the trash situation and
supplement the activities of the Animal Control Officer. This
is necessary in that roaming animals can often be directly
linked to strewn trash.
The solution to the problem, therefore, requires that all of us
work together. The Town of Vail requires all trash which is
placed outside for collection to be placed in containers
:equipped with tight fitting lids. This prevents the garbage
from being spread by animals (dogs, birds, squirrels, etc.),
which can easily destroy plastic bags. A certain amount of
discretion may be used during periods where one has large
amounts of garbage; i.e. guests, holidays, etc., but the rule
should generally be that all trash should be in containers while
placed out for collection. If you do not currently have garbage
cans or those you do have need replacement, you are encouraged
to make the arrangements necessary to get proper containers.
Should your trash company be BFI, they can provide you with a
wheeled container fora minimal monthly fee.
This letter is being left with you because your trash was
observed as being improperly contained prior to collection. .
This courtesy letter serves as a warning notice requesting your
y, future voluntary compliance with our Municipal Code. Future
code violations could result in a summons requiring your
;,:appearance in the Municipal Court.
We are looking forward to your cooperation in this effort to
enhance the appearance of our community. Should you. have any
questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me
at 479-2138.
Sincerely,
Su an Scanlan
Environmental Health Officer
