Town of Vail and Vail Associates
1NTRODUCTION
In order to best serve the community (including residents, visitors and businesses) in the future,
the Town of Vail and Vail Associates have created a plan to manage growth. This plan will be
implemented to aid each segment of the community in remaining economically healthy while
maintaining Vail's quality of life. Although the needs and goals differ for each group within the
community, Vail Associates and the Town of Vail have begun to identify key issues that will be
necessary for the continued success of Vail.
Events in the last 24 months have provided a unique opportunity for the Town of Vail and
Vail Associates to discuss issues relating to growth and the future. New ownership and
management of VA, changes in the community, planning for the 1999 World Alpine Ski
Championships and a renewed focus on growth issues on a local, regional and statewide
basis have all made this an opportune time to refocus the vision for the future.
During Vail Mountain's first year of operation the company recorded 61,000 skier days. In
the 1993-94 ski season, Vail Mountain hosted 1,527,698 skier days. No one can dispute the
success and growth of the ski area and the Town of Vail. However, that success and growth
bring with them concerns about the future of Vail.
0 Are skier visits too concentrated in certain times of the season?
o How can Town and mountain infrastructure stresses be minimized?
0 Is the quality of life for residents being compromised by the growing popularity of the
resort?
o Which organization is best suited to address these issues?
With this in mind, Vail Associates and the Vail Town Council have made a great effort to
come together on planning, organizational and strategic projects. The two organizations began
this work at a time when there was a great deal of mutual mistrust due to a breakdown of
communications. This is no longer true. TOV and VA are striving to coordinate efforts to ensure
consistent quality since the guest sees Vail as a seamless entity, with no distinction among the
mountain operations, lodging, restaurants, parking and bus service. The community must
maintain strategic positioning as a world renowned resort dedicated to quality while
maintaining its current market share within the resort industry. This must remain the
objective of the Town, VA and the community as a whole.
PRIORITIES AND GOALS
The overall goal is to preserve the quality of the experience for both guests and residents of
Vail. In conceiving the plan for "continued success," members of the Vail Town Council and
management of Vail Associates set out to establish common priorities. Those priorities
include, but are not limited to, the following:
' o management of peak and non-peak skier periods
o transportation and circulation
o housing
• open space preservation
o coordinating long-range capital planning
After formulating the above mentioned priorities, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates
identified some of the short term and long term needs and issues facing the community on a
year round basis. Although this is not a complete list of all issues that Vail faces, it is a start
at establishing goals for looking ahead. Listed below are components that will contribute to
the future managed success of Vail:
o managed growth needed for vitality and preservation of the characteristics that have made
Vail a success
o ambiance and pedestrian character of Vail Village and Lionshead
o variety and caliber of shops, restaurants and lodging
a circulation through town (including street projects, recreational path improvements and
roundabout projects)
o access to Vail: air and ground transportation
o efficient use of parking and introduction of regional transportation (including park and ride
sites for employees and skiers and encouraging carpooling)
• ease of access to the mountain
o loading and delivery system to enhance the pedestrian character
o quality of the environment (including air and water)
o year round marketing
• ability to continue to attract and maintain quality work force and the quality of life for the
work force
o maintain high service standards throughout Vail
o fundamental change in how guests spend their vacation time and money
o enhance the skiing on Vail Mountain (including the completion of the front side
improvements, base area redevelopment and Category III)
RESEARCH
Since 1979, Rosall, Remmen and Cares, (RRC) the Boulder based research firm has consulted
with both the TOV and VA. They have assisted VA in determining the level of guest support for
a variety of capital improvements. This effort was conducted to assist management in updating
the existing Vail Mountain Master Plan, which led to the installation of the seven new detachable
quad lifts, expansion into China Bowl, the Two Elk restaurant and expanded Mid-Vail facility. In
citizen focus groups and town-sponsored community surveys for 1993 and 1994, Vail residents
gave high importance ratings to the priorities listed above. The surveys reflect a desire for
controlled growth in Vail that maintains the quality of life of the existing residents and the
environment.
THE AGREEMENT
As part of an ongoing process, the Town of Vail and Vail Associates have developed a
proposed agreement, designed to proactively manage growth issues in our community. This
2
' plan recognizes that continued economic prosperity must not adversely impact the mountain
and town infrastructures. It commits to further enhancing the quality of the Vail experience,
recognized as a key component to our mutual success. From the beginning, it was evident
that the process must be two-fold, addressing both marketing and infrastructure. The
document reflects extensive discussions between representatives of the Vail Town Council
and Vail Associates; its action items were formulated after considerable study, analysis and
debate. Nonetheless, the success of this agreement will require greater participation of other
parties within the community.
The agreement focuses on balancing visitor numbers throughout the ski season - instead of
the ups and downs currently experienced. The main goal is to protect against overutilization
during busy times and the underutilization during less busy times. By balancing the
utilization, service needs can be predicted and addressed and staffing / employee
opportunities can become consistent.
The agreement addresses ways to manage `peak periods' and `non-peak periods'. Peak
periods are identified as the week between Christmas and New Years and weekends from
President's Weekend through the end of March. Frequently, the peak periods are
accompanied by high influxes of cars, traffic and parking problems - all of which compromise
the quality of the Vail experience. Non-peak periods are identified as all times outside of the
`peak periods', including the early ski season, Thanksgiving, the pre-Christmas period, the
January to mid-February period and the late ski season. During these periods of low to
moderate use, the infrastructure, employment base, and economic opportunities of the
community are underutilized. The agreement seeks to minimize the stresses of peak periods
and recognizes opportunities to increase skier visits during non-peak times.
Strategies for non-peak periods include:
m Aggressive and targeted marketing by VA, including promotional incentives with an
International and Front Range focus
o Cooperative programs with lodges to create packages
o Value pricing programs
o Cooperative marketing efforts with the resort associations, chambers of commerce,
lodging associations and others
• Creation of parking incentives, hosting of special events, and more cooperation with the
community and merchant groups
o Implementation of additional intermediate and early season terrain, i.e. Category III
o Implementation of additional early season terrain through enhanced snowmaking
Strategies for peak periods include:
o Limiting promotional ticket incentives and marketing campaigns
o Extending mountain operation hours
• Increased emphasis on public transportation use
o Adjusting parking and season ski pass policies
• Staggering employee work hours
o Recognition that peaks also occur in the summer season. Proper management of non-ski
related events is critical to ensuring the quality of the Vail experience.
3
- o Continue Holiday Management Plan, adopted in 1993 and successfully implemented in
1993 and 1994, to reduce employee traffic by offering parking incentives to those who
car pool and free bus passes for riders during the Christmas peak
Out of this process, infrastructure improvements such as Category III and roundabouts at
Main Vail and West Vail have been recognized as items which will help to implement the
strategies. All major infrastructure improvements are intended to enhance the quality of life for
residents and the quality of the experience for guests.
Category III is the third phase in Vail Associates' 1986 Master Development Plan. Over
50% of Vail's skiers are classified as intermediates with this trend on the rise. Currently,
Vail Mountain provides 35% of its terrain for intermediate skiing. The Category III area has
high elevation, north-facing, gladed and open bowls and is not expected to significantly
increase the number of skiers on peak days. It will provide intermediate and advanced bowl
skiing opportunities during the early and late season and greatly improve skier distribution
throughout the ski season. The Category III approval process with the United States Forest
Service began in 1984 parts of Category III were in the original permitted ski area. Through
the public scoping process, there have been 5 public hearings hosted by the USFS and Vail
Associates and numerous other public sessions, discussions and tours. The socio-economic
issues raised through public input have been intensely studied over the past two years and
addressed through this agreement.
The roundabout concept has emerged from a long list of possible solutions as a viable and
cost effective solution to safety, congestion, geometric and circulation problems experienced
at the Main Vail and West Vail intersections. The modern roundabout achieves high capacity
in a compact space, largely because of entry flare. Unlike a signalized intersection, in which
only one or two movements occur at the same time, a roundabout allows all entries to work
simultaneously with no lost time between movements. It is anticipated that the roundabout
will more efficiently absorb current loads at the Main Vail interchange. Both TOV and VA
are certain that the current situation must be improved upon and believe that the roundabout
is the solution best suited for Vail.
The Assessment Committee (made up of representatives of TOV and VA) and the extensive
monitoring program set up in the agreement will consider the effects and impacts of the non-
peak and peak period programs. The Assessment Committee will provide general advice
regarding ways in which the community can maintain and preserve its position as a premier
resort. Constant re-evaluation will be a key part of the committee's work, gaining input from
the community and via the Town Council to assure that the goals of the agreement are
reached as we move forward.
TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION
Transportation and circulation are critical to managing peak and non-peak periods, as the
number of skiers on the mountain directly affects the traffic conditions during the day.
However, other circumstances in town (weather, commuters, special events) not directly
related to on-mountain activities affect transportation and circulation. TOV and VA have
developed methods to reduce the likelihood of traffic congestion through the following
programs:
4
` o Since 1966, there has been a lift tax in existence. The lift ticket tax provides a
partnership unique in the ski industry and has enabled TOV to provide such
transportation amenities as its free bus service. TOV and VA acknowledge that
alternative future transportation needs are substantial. Accordingly, other local, state and
federal revenues will be required to supplement lift tax revenues. TOV and VA agree
that as the creation of additional lift tax revenues, transportation grants and VA revenue
sources allow transportation revenues to exceed in any given year the cost associated
with TOV's bus services, such supplemental revenues will be available for use by TOV
for other priority transportation needs.
o TOV construction of roundabouts or similar alternatives to the Main Vail four-way stop
will facilitate the flow of traffic to and from town. VA has pledged $500,000 toward this
project. VA will also cooperated to make the project more cost effective. This
contribution represents VA's commitment toward solving what research has identified as
the main traffic and circulation problem in Vail.
o Vail Associates has agreed to assist the Town in obtaining state and federal funding for
the West Vail roundabout.
• Golden Peak redevelopment will provide a more viable portal to the mountain. The TOV
supports Vail Associates' conceptual ideas for the redevelopment which presents an
opportunity to improve guest services and the circulation of pedestrian and vehicular
traffic benefiting the community. The joint efforts by VA and TOV will facilitate
achieving the goals presented in the Streetscape Master Plan and Transportation Master
Plan.
o Vail Associates and Town of Vail agree that if any future efforts of Vail Associates to modify
its USFS permit on Vail Mountain result in increasing the allowable SAOT (skiers at one
time), Vail Associates will participate on a fair share basis in the addition of needed parking
structures. At the same time, the Town of Vail will continue to explore ways to improve the
existing winter parking situation.
HOUSING
Affordable housing is an issue in all Colorado resort towns. TOV and VA are committed to
maintaining and expanding resident housing particularly within the Town of Vail. TOV and
VA have begun or are pursuing the following programs:
VA Programs
o Currently provides over 650 affordable housing spaces for its employees in Lake Creek
Villas, Eagle Bend, Eagle Bend III, The Tarnes, Timber Ridge and Sunbird Lodge (275
within the Town of Vail)
o Participation with other public and private groups in the development of Lake Creek,
Eagle Bend and Eagle Bend III
o Development of second-mortgage program to promote first-home purchases by
employees
o VA commitment to participate in the Vail Commons development
6
' TOV Programs
o Goal is to create permanent deed restricted quality units for residents and employees
o Vail Housing Authority, formed in 1991, to assist in exploring available options for
employee housing
o Employee housing ordinance, established in 1992, providing incentives for the creation of
units ranging from 300 to 1,200 square feet. As a result, as of February 1995, 29 units have
been created and another 66 approved.
o Purchase of Vail Commons site in 1993, with construction anticipated in 1996, for future
affordable housing location (minimum of 60 units) with a mixed use.
o Approval of $300,000 grant from Colorado Department of Local Affairs to be used for public
improvements associated with a housing development (Vail Commons)
o Implementation of Mortgage Guarantee Program
o Purchase of 900 sq. feet employee housing unit at 770 Potato Patch Drive.
o Four lots adjacent to Town Manager's residence in West Vail are under review as potential
construction sites.
o Public Works facility master plan identifies several employee housing units to be constructed
on town-owned property.
OPEN SPACE
As demonstrated by recent community surveys, the residents of Vail feel strongly about the
preservation of open space. VA has agreed to deed to TOV several parcels of green space
and stream tract land that should remain permanent open space within the Town of Vail.
LONG-RANGE CAPITAL PLANNING
Realizing that capital improvements on the mountain or in town have far-reaching effects,
TOV and VA have tried to coordinate their plans in order to maximize the benefits of each
project. Emphasis is placed on developing capital projects that will help address the above
issues. Nonetheless, these plans may change due to the development of new priorities.
OPTION A:
The major focus of Vail Assoicates' five year capital plan is on mountain circulation. This will
include upgrading some of the older lifts to high speed quads and upgrading restaurant facilities,
improving skier migrations through expanded snow making and base area redevelopment. In
addition, pending Forest Service approvals, VA will concentrate efforts on the construction of
Category III over a three to five year period. Meanwhile, TOV's capital focus is on
transportation and circulation issues. In addition, expenditures such as heavy equipment
replacement, bus shelter replacement and major maintenance projects will be ongoing. These
include resurfacing of streets, roundabout construction at the Main Vail and later at the West
Vail intersections and augmentation to the bus fleet, to name a few. (skip to conclusion)
OlPTION B:
VA has created the following schedule:
Vf1 capital plan, 1995
The primary focus for 1995 is to complete the planning and approval process
for base area and skier circulation improvements. The current proposals include
the replacement of Chair 3 with a high speed lift. Also, VA will upgrade the Mid-
Vail restaurants to accommodate current skier pressures on the mountain. Water
7
' augmentation will allow VA to begin a three year snowmaking expansion to
guarantee early season skiing . VA will continue preparation for base area
redevelopment at Golden Peak, including replacing Chair 6 with a high speed
detachable quad which is slated to occur in 1996.
VE1 capital plan, 1996
VA will begin a proposed redevelopment of the Golden Peak base area and will
replace Chair 6 with a high speed quad. The Golden Peak redevelopment is
designed to alleviate the pressures experienced in the mornings at Vail Village.
Pending Forest Service approvals, VA proposes to begin the first of four years of
work in Category III. VA will also enhance its teaching areas and lift
infrastructure for beginning children and adults.
VA capital plan, 1997
Category III is proposed to be the major focus for 1997 with the construction of a
lift in Tea Cup Bowl and the start of construction of the Ridge and Super Bowl lifts.
VA intends to finish the snowmaking project on the upper areas of the mountain and
will also begin the proposed redevelopment of the Eagle's Nest building in conjunction
with the potential redevelopment of the Lionshead gondola building.
VA capital plan, 1998
1998 will mark the culmination of two important improvements on Vail
Mountain: Category III and Eagle's Nest. Category III is intended to have two
of its three lifts and most of its trails completed. The Lionshead gondola is
planned to be replaced with a low profile, high speed gondola as part of the
upgrade of the Eagle's Nest facility.
VA capital pl;tn, 1999
To ensure early season skiing and to better distribute skiers on the mountain,
Category III is planned to be taken to build out with the completion of Pete's Lift
and construction of trails in that area. The major focus on the front side of the
mountain will be the completion of the Lionshead gondola building
redevelopment.
TOV spends a significant portion of its revenues each year on capital improvements. In
addition to ongoing expenditures such as heavy equipment replacement, bus shelter
replacement and major maintenance projects, there are numerous one time major
construction projects. Highlights of the five year capital plan are as follows:
TOV capital projects, 1995
o Construction of the Main Vail Roundabout. This project will reduce delays
at the Main Vail Four Way and will significantly increase the carrying capacity of the
intersection. The addition of sidewalks will improve pedestrian safety. It will also
improve the aesthetic and enhance the visual appearance of Vail's "front door".
o The Covered Bridge will be removed and new supports installed. Portions of the bridge
suffering from decay will be replaced. Rock abutments and new lighting will help improve
the visual appearance of this area.
o Eight low floor buses will be purchased for use on the in town shuttle. The low floor
buses will reduce loading time and significantly increase the capacity of the in town
system.
8
' 0 Pulis Bridge (golf course entrance) replacement. This bridge is functionally obsolete and
will be replaced with a new, wider bridge.
o Matterhorn streets will be completely reconstructed.
o The streets in the golf course area will be completely reconstructed.
o The Town will begin revising the Land Use Plan and begin work on revising the Master
Plan for the Lionshead area. Additionally, design guidelines for Lionshead will be
prepared.
TOV capital projects, 1996
o Replacement of buses for the Town bus systems.
o Streets in Lionsridge area will be reconstructed.
o Additional street lights will be added in the Village and Lionshead areas. This project was
originally identified in the Streetscape Master Plan in this area.
o Increase the size of the fleet maintenance area in order to maintain the longer, higher
capacity buses.
0 Reconstruction of the East Lionshead bus stop. Emphasis will be placed on
pedestrian safety and improvement of skier drop off as well as aesthetic improvements.
TOV capital projects, 1997
o Reconstruction of Vail Valley Drive
0 Construction of improvements at the West Vail interchange
0 Construction of a fire station in the West Vail area
o Remodel of the Vail Transportation Center
'Il'OV clpital projects, 1998
0 Reconstruction of a portion of the streets in the East Vail area
0 Construction of streetscape improvements on West Meadow Drive
o Addition of new street lights in the Village and Lionshead
0 Landscaping improvement on Gore Creek Drive (in Vail Village)
TOV capital projects, 1999
0 Completion of the street construction project in East Vail
o Major renovation to the public works facility
CONCLUSION
The main objective of the agreement and the joint efforts of the Town and Vail Associates has
been to create systems to better manage growth issues in the community while working toward
balancing the utilization of the Town and the mountain during the ski season. Town of Vail and
Vail Associates recognize that their joint work does not address all of the issues facing the Vail
community now and in the future, but feel that their joint efforts have opened up avenues for
discussion and have established some attainable goals for the future.

DATE: February 28, 1995
RE: Resolution Adopting the Program to Nianage Peak Periods
It has been agreed that the provisions previously contained in a letter from Andy Daly to the Town
which identified their agreement to, among oYher items, contribute $500,000.00 to the construction
of the Roundabouts, transfer ownership of certain parcels to the Town, etc. will be incorporated
into and made an integral part of the document which is known as the Program to Manage Peak
Periods. As of February 25th, this document was not yet completed and I have not had an
opportunity to review it. The provisions of the document should appear the same as they were
in the letter and this assures equal binding affect to all provisions.
The item concerning the merchant passes has been deleted and Vail Associates is unwiiling to
make reference to the future merchant passes or any price structuring within the agreement.
They firmfy believe that it is within their organization's obligation and priority to set ticket prices
and do not wish to create the appearance of outside entities participating in that process.
I participated in the final drafting of the document known as Strategies for the Future. I believe
this document adequately reflects the process and the overall identification ofi issues and
strategies for the future. V1/hile it includes reference to the Agreement, Category III and the
Roundabouts, its scope is more extensive and provides a complete overview of future issues and
projects.
I have also drafted and attached a Resolution which is intended to express Council's support and
authority to move fonbard with a program to manage peak periods. The Resoiution also
specifically supports Category III which is of critical importance to Vail Associates. The intention
was for this document to grant the legal authority to enter into the Agreement while not competing
with either of the previously mentioned documents:
I look fonward to your comments.
Thanks.

Dr. Mark R. Stephens
2547-A Arosa Drive
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Dr. Stephens,
I have been directed to respond to your letter of January 13, 1995
addressed to our Town Council regarding the construction of a fire station at the
west end of Vail.
There is too much information and data that has triggered the Fire
Department's reconimendation to Town Council for an additional station at the
west end of town to put into letter form. Therefore, I will atteinpt to list a few
reasons justifying our request for that additional resource.
The Departrrient has not increased in personnel since 1982. We all kiiow
that the Town and businesses, as well as the ski inountain, have not stopped
growing. Obvious to all, the traffic on the Interstate is overwhelming. The reason
I point this out is that we have gone from 809 emergency responses in 1982 to
2,368 in 1994. This, of course, does not include tiine spent on all the other jobs
that are required, such as training, apparatus and equipment maintenance,
building maintenance, fire prevention, fire education, non-emergency responses,
and so on.
In the past couple years, we also experienced many days where we ran
multiple alarms with two engine companies unable to handle them in a timely
manner, which has continued to affect our response times.
We feel that with a manned fire station located at the west end of town, we
will be able to deploy equipment and personnel, maintaining an adequate
response time to all areas of Vail.
I have enclosed a copy of our emergency response data for your review and
a copy of a fire service master plan that was prepared in 1990.
~
I would like the opportunity to meet with you and anyone else who might
be interested in learning about the Fire Departrtient's operation as well as why we
have recoinmended an additional fire station.
Thank you for your interest. I can be reached almost anytime to arrange
a meeting.

Council members present: Johnston, Lapin, Navas, Osterfoss, Shearer, Steinberg
--Site visit to Lions Square Lodge
The Council reviewed a proposal for site coverage and parking variances and an
exterior lobby addition at Lions Square Lodge in preparation for the evening meeting.
--Planning and Environmental Commission Interviews
Three applicants were interviewed for three open positions on the PEC. The
applicants, Kevin Deighan, Greg Moffet and Henry Pratt, were later appointed at the
evening meeting.
--Art In Public Places (AIPP) Interviews The Council completed interviews it be.gan on Feb. 7 for four at-large openings on the
AIPP Board. There were six applicants: Jim Cotter, Lolita Higbie, Kathy Langenwalter,
Marianne McTighe, Ken Robbins and Karen Smith. Council appointments occurred at
the evening meeting.
--Housing Authority Interviews
Two applicants, Dick Cleveland and Kyle Webb, were interviewed for one open position
on the Vail Housing Authority. The appointment was made at the evening meeting.
--Overview of Eagle River iVianagement Plan
In reviewing a draft of the Eagle River Management Plan, the Council expressed
support for the purpose and objectives stated in the plan. However, Merv Lapin and
several other Council members cited conflicts between this plan and other objectives
throughout the county. Affordable housing, for example, could become more difficult
under the river management plan due to increased tap fees, Lapin said. The Council
suggested identifying other conflicts and implications before reviewing the document

with other entities. The Eagle River IVlanagement Plan is being drafted to develop a
common philosophy for managing and protecting the river. Two key issues addressed
in the plan include protecting sensitive vegetation around waterways and ensuring
development does not surpass the carrying capacity of the Eagle River. Participants
have included recreational interest groups, developers, water districts, federal, state,
county and local agencies. For a copy of the draft, or for more information, contact
Environmental Planner Russell Forrest in the Community Development Department at
479-2138.
--Discussion of Lease Policy and Tent Sale Regulations
. The Council voted 6-0 to reverse an earlier decision on deck lease increases.
Yesterday's action established a$4 per square foot rate; plus the Denver-Boulder
consumer price index (beginning in 1996), for a five-year.term. An earlier Council
decision had called for the deck lease rate on town-owned property to increase to $10
per square foot plus inflation by the year 1998. But after hearing from three of those
affected previously and new arguments yesterday from I-iermann Stauffer of the
Tyrolean Inn and Ross Davis, representing Bart & Yetis, the Council agreed to cantinue
the $4 rate. In the meantime, staff was directed to do additional research before other
town deck leases are due for renewal. Also yesterday, Bart & Yetis voluntarily agreed
to add inflation to its previously-signed lease at the $4 rate. This means all deck
leases are now being covered by the same terms. For more information, contact Town
Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107.
A discussion on tent sale regulations was postponed.
--Revision of Town of Vail Fireplace Regulations
The Council heard an update on a new solid fuel burning device which, if used
improperly, violates requirements established by the Ern/ironmental Protection Agency.
The Council asked staff to monitor for compliance of the new masonry fireplace units,
which sell for.approximately $10,000. If the units become a problem, the town could
take steps to further regulate, or ban the models. For more information, contact Paul
Reeves in the Community Development Department at 479-2138.
--Council Reports
Tom Steinberg said the Feb. 14 transportation summit was helpful in creating a
dialogue between the various entities interested in regional transportation. He said the
group would meet again in April.
Sybill Navas, a member of the Special Events Committee, said Tom Britz of Vertical
Marketing is asking for financial assistance and some in-kind help from the town in
hosting the International Celtic Festival to be held in Vail this September. Sponsors
say the event will draw as many as 40,000 spectators.

--Citizen Participation
6Cit Williams, representing the East Vail residents affected by the state's new chain-up
area along I-70, appeared before the Town Council to ask for support in sending a
letter to federal and state agencies putting them on notice that legal action might be
taken by the residents if the problems aren't resolved. The Council asked Williams to
continue working with the town staff to use other avenues to negotiate a solution before
attempting litigation. Town fVianager Bob fVicLaurin said he would be meeting with a
representative from the.Colorado Department of Transportation on the matter next
week. Neighbors say the chain-up area is causing health problems for residents, in
addition to other nuisances For more information, contact McLaurin at 479-2105 or
Russell Forrest, environmentai planner in the Community Development Department, at
479-2138.
--Rlext, Vail resident Elaine Kelton expressed concern that Vail is no longer user-
friendly to tourists. Citing some positive customer-contact examples from several other
resort communities, Kelton suggested it was time for Vail to reinvent itself. She
recommended creating an "unadvertised, random act of kindness." One possible
scenario, she said, would be to have residents greet those exiting the parking structure,
thank them for their loyalty in visiting Vail and letting them know their parking tab for the
day would be free. Council members reacted favorably to the concept and asked
Kelton to work with Town Manager Bob McLaurin in more detail. McLaurin may be
reached at 479-2105.
--Girl Scouts' Be Your Best Day
The Council welcomed a group of girl scouts to the meeting and unanimously approved
a mayoral proclamation declaring March 14 as Girl Scouts' Be Your Best Day in Vail.
For a copy of the proclamation, call the Community Information Office at 479-2115.
--Amendment of 1992 Bond Refinancing Documents
The Council voted 6-0 on first reading to approve an ordinance, described as a
housekeeping matter, to alter the town's 1992 bond refinancing documents. Council
members were advised the adjustment would have no impact on bondholders. For.
details, contact Town Attorney Tom Moorhead at 479-2107.

-=Lions Square Lodge Interior and Exterior Lobby Addition
The Council voted 5 to 1(Steinberg against) #o approve plans for an interior and exterior lobby addition at Lions Square Lodge, upholding approval by the Planning and
Environmental Commission on Feb. 13. Council members said they remained hopeful the exterior remodel could be reworked to become less contemporary looking. The
project now goes before the Design Review Board.
--Helipad
The Council voted 5 to 0 with Johnston abstaining to modify a conditional use permit
approved by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) for a helipad to be
temporarily located at Ford Park. Although the Council's action eliminates several
conditions placed by the PEC, the Council agreed with the PEC decision to discontinue
the Ford Park helipad site after May 1. Following the May 1 deadline, the Council last
night authorized use of the former helipad site, west of the Municipal Complex, until a
permanent site can be created at the hospital. If the hospital is unable to accommodate
the helipad on-site, the Municipal Complex site will be designated as the permanent
location. The Council also authorized several minor improvements to the helipad site at the Municipal Complex in preparation for the May transition. A staff-supported site at
the Public Works facility north of the Golf Course was turned down by the Council due
to lack of proximity to the hospital. Officials have been working to find a permanent site
for the helipad for the past two years. For additional details, contact Andy Knudtsen in
the Community Development Department at 479-2138.

February 13, 1995
Peggy Osterfoss, Mayor
Town of Vail
75 South Frontage Road West
Vail, CO 81620
Dear Mayor Osterfoss:
I've been mearung to write to you for a long time regarding an exceptional experience I had with
one of your "off-duty" employees two years ago.
My family was staying at a condo in Vail for the weekend, and we decided to have my wife and
two teenage boys ski the Shrine Pass trail from Vail Pass to Redcliff. I dropped them off, with
plans to drive out to the trailliead at Redcliff and ski towards them. I saw only two cars at the
water tank outside of town and continued down the road, expecting to see many more cars at
the actual trailhead. I began to notice that the road had become like a snowy mller coaster, with
my Taurus wagon scraping the bottom when I got going too fast and started to bounce. As I
was reflecting that the road now seemed more suited to skimobiles than cars I heard the familiar
buzz of a herd of snowmobilers coming toward me from up the trail. I moved to the right to
make sure they had plenty of room and felt my car sink into the snow at the shoulder. As it
turns out, the trailhead was at the water tower a mile back. The gate marking the end of the
road and beginning of the trail vvas open wide, and the sign usually on the gate had fallen off.
I was in trouble. A later group of snowmobilers stopped when I flagged them down, but there
was no way any number of people could have pushed me out - my car was high-centered and
tilted off to the right in the shoulder. They gave me a ride to the edge of town where I
approached Leonard Sandoval and his father for help, since they were working outside at the
time. I asked to use his phone and he told me that a tow truck would be very reluctant to drive
a mile in on the snowmobile trail to pull me out since a rig that heavy would surely get stuck
in the soft snow before it could get to me. He loaned me a shovel and said he'd bring out his
mini-pickup shortly to try to pull me out. He lifted one corner of my Taurus three times using
a handyman jack and each time pushed it back a little more on the road. He was then able to
pull me back on the road the rest of the way with his truck using a long rope or nylon strap he
had with him. Then he stuck close to me while he made sure I was able to back out to the
trailhead without getting stuck again. To have a towing cornpany come get me out of there
would have cost me a fortune, if they could have helped me at all. I offered Leonard $20 or
$40 cash and he politely, but firflnly refused, even when I insisted. He said I should express my
thanks by coming back to visit Vail - his employer.
Leonard worked in your Public Works Departanent at the time, and for your sake and for
residents and visitors to Vail, I hope he still dcses. Leonard is an exemplary public servant -
a.
,
~
you should be proud to have him. While I've taken a long time to write this letter, I've thought
back on his generosity, expertise and helpfulness on many occasions, and will never forget his
help in a time of need. Those are important qualities in any employee or human being, but for
a town whose lifeblood depends on giving tourists an experience that makes them want to come
back for more, I would think having an employee like Mr. 5andoval is even more unportant.
I'll be back to Vail often - I owe ya!
Sincerely,
Eric Durland

Dear Representative McInnis:
Thank you again for your help and support in assisting the Town of Vail and the Town of iaos to
obtain federal funds for the bus sharing program. As a result of your efforts last year, $2 million in .
FY95 Section III bus funding has been earmarked for this project. We would like to take this
opportunity to update you on progress with implementation of this prob am and to express our concern
that budgetary pressures and the reported intention of the new majority to achieve signific: r.t cut-
backs in federal expenditures might well lead to a situation whereby the funding for this innovative
project is threatened.
Recently two Town of Vail transportation staff went to Taos to consult regarding imp?ementation of
their transportation system and to help complete the application to the State of New Mexico for state
funding. That funding request has been ranked number one in northern New Mexico by the RPO for
Section 18 funding.
The Town of Taos will be included in the Section III grant application to the Fe,a.eral Transit
Administration for federally funded buses submitted by the Town of Vail. Although long tern: fiznding
is a concern to the Town of Taos, Taos is continuing to work on that issue and strong support exists
for funding through an increase in the lodgers tax if the State Legislature approves that mechanism.
The Town of Vail is committed to working with the Town of Taos in any way necessary to facilitate
the implementation. of a transit system in Taos, including supplying buses for a possible experimental
program as early as this summer.
The Vail Town Manager and transit officials in Vail have had numerous meetings wi+h the Federal
Transit Administration to finalize our grant application for this bus sharing program as soon as
possible. The Town Manager of Vail will also be meeting very soon with Don Cover, the Director of
Program Operations for the Federal Transit Authority in Region IX, to complete the formal
applications necessary to receive these funds. The application is nearly complete and i± wiii ir.dicate
• that at such time as Taos is ready to take delivery buses will be made available to them. As we
discussed, the buses will be utilized by the Town of Vai] during the winter seasor. and by t'r.e Town
of Taos during the summer months.
Once again, thank you for your continued support and assistance. We know it is crucial to maintain
our funding at a time when budget cuts are important, and we believe this bus sharing program
effectively leverages tax payer dollars in an innovative and responsible way. This sharng project will
be the first in the nation. Officials of the two towns have worked many hours to develop this project
smoothly, and its success can have implications beyond our two areas.
We therefore are requesting your additional assistance in ensuring that budget or appropriations
cutbacks do not threaten the funding for this project, which we truly believe should be a model for
transportation assistance to rural and small communities with seasonal employment patterns. We
will keep you advised on our progress with respect to this issue. If you have questions or need
additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Peggy Osterfoss; Vail Town Manager, Bob
McLaurin, at 303/479-2105; and Fred Peralta in Taos at 505/751-2022.
