U n ` * . . Vail Village Merchant Association PO Bo. 2135, Vail, CO 81658 October 10, 1996 The following is a proposal to the Vail Town Council regarding the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau, the Vail Valley Marketing Board and the Business License Fee. The hope is that these long term goals can be reached by the 1998 budget year with some interim steps achieved during the course of the next 14z months. 1. The name of the VVTCB be changed to the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau (VTCB) or a return to the former VRA. - 2. The name of the Vail Valley Marketing Board be changed , to the•Vail Marketing Board (VMB). 3. All activities of the VTCB be focused on the Town of ' Vail. 4. All marketing by the VMB be tocused on the Town of Vail. 5. Al1 seats on the VMB be filled by Vail business owners or their representatives. 6. Their is no intention to replace the staff at either the VTCB or the VMB. 7. The VTCB shall retain its role as administrators of the VMB and be responsible for the implementation of the changed focus. ' 8. Business license-fees .,,vill. support-the _changPd=.marl-,eting effort. 9. The funding contribution made by the Town of Vail will continue or be increased. 10.An appeal --crili be macle to. Vail. Ass.ociates to continuQ their support. If pro-rated on the current estimates, that would be 65% of their current funding. 11. An appeal will be made to the business community, ie. the lodging community, to increase their support when- ever possible. r ~ ' We would suggest that there are several reasons to pursue this line of reasoning, not the least of which is that the current approach does not seem to fall within the original definition of the ordinance. 'i'he ordinance clearly states the funds to be used for".... the purpose of marketing and promoting the Town of Vail and its environs....". Environs as defined by Webster's New Y7orld Dictionary is the districts surrounding a city, its suburbs. It is 3ifficult to imagine that either Avon or Beaver CreE:k would qualify as a suburb of Vail or that they wou:.d agree to such a label. Bt.t more to the point is our necessity at this time to now simply focus in a new but actually old direction. It is an attempt to bring the center of our ati:ention back to Vail so that the funds raised in our c:ommunity and by our bus-i- nesses go to promote otLr community and our businesses. We urge the Town CoL.ncil to make the decisior? now for the d:irection to be taken for 1998. Ii: the decision `.S marE: now, the TOV, the'`VVTCB, the VVMB and the business commu- nity will have the next 141/2 months within which to achieve a smooth transition of both philosophy and personnel. In the interim, the suggestion would be: l. To redefine the assignment of Board of Director seats on the Vail Valley Marketing Board. It is our recommendation ' that the seats be filled by area in direct proportion to the funds collected from that area. For example:l seat for every $50,000.00 in contribution. BCRA $181,000 4 seats Avon $50 , 000 1 seat..; VA $116,000 2 seats . Vail $191,000 4 seats Business Lic. $345,000 7 seats y The Business License •sea~ts'Yshould .b.e .f.urfher '.broken'.down to reflect the areas in.which they were collected_ - 2. ~o rewrite the Business L•icense fee ordinance so that the funds no longer are automatically allocated to the VVTCB and the VVMB. This would provide a good faith gesture to the merchants and at the same.tinie solve any conflict with the ordinance. This would require a simultaneous commitment to leave the funds in place for 1997. The objective of this exercise is to remove the Business Li- cense Fee from a mandated funding source to a voluntary contribution until the change over takes place. 3. To distribute a portion of those funds to the Vail Village Merchants' Association for the following purposes: $30,000 to fund Turn It Up! Vail 97 in conjunction with the Lionshead Merchants $15,000 to fund a shopping guide also in conjunction with the Lionshead Merchants.

These uses, which take place almost exclusively during the 5 month period of May to September, include outdoor recreation, softball fieids, tennis courts, soccer fie/ds, concerts and other performances, a/pine gardens, an historical school house, nature center, walking paths, picnic pavillion, playground, administrative offices, park user and skier parking, special events, loading and delivery, trash removal, bicycling, fishing , and white water sports. No comprehensive decision-making framework currently exists for evaluating present or future management and park use issues, which results in an arbitrary and inconsistent management process. How will the Town of Vail manage multiple, and sometimes conflicting uses, within or improvements to Ford Park and its infrastructure in a manner consistent with ownership and stewardship responsibilities? FORD PARK MA NA GEMEN T PLAN FPR~COJECT GIVENS o The Town of Vail is the owner of Ford Park. As owner,- the Town must manage its assets responsibly. o Assuming responsibility means managing the park in a way that fulfills our moral, ethical, legal, financial, and safety obligations. Our mora/ obligation involves good conduct and behavior; our ethical obligation involves our princip/es and standards; our financia/ obligation involves our management of revenue, costs and other resources; our legal obligation involves statutes and contractural commitments; and our safety obligation in vol ves freedom from risk, danger, or in jury to the public and the town's employees. o The Vail Town Council will be responsib/e for making . the fina/ decision on the Ford Park Management P/an. o There are existing legal interests affecting the use of Ford Park. Current interests are held by VVF, VAG, VRD, utility company easements, CDOT and other rights-of-way. o All ideas for use and management of the park will be considered. o CDOT approva/ will be required for all alternatives in vol ving frontage road access. FORD PARK MANAGEMENT PLAN GOALS AND OBJECTIVES o Creating a/ong-term vision for the park. o Determing the "carrying capacity" of the park. o Crafting solutions to specific site problems. How do we... ...provide sufficient parking to accommodate uses and activities? ...get people from the village to the park? ...allow for acceptable internal circulation of pedestrian, service, and emergency vehicles ? resol ve conflicts between users ? ...meet CDOT requirements for highway access? o Defining re/ationships between stake ho/ders and the genera/ public with the TO V as /andlord, TO V as facilitator, and TOV as steward. o Developing a decision-making framework for evaluating present and future management and park use issues. o Defining financial obligations and opportunities. r FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN PROCESS TIMELINE October 15, 1996 Conceptua/ Review of preliminary plan framework by Vail To wn Council.

Section 2. Public and Municiaal Puraoses. The Town Council hereby declares that the public and municipa/ purposes compelling the determination to acquire the property described in Section 1 by condemnation are as follows: a. for park and greenbelt purposes, b. to preserve the natural and physical character of the area to be condemned, c. for bicycle, equestrian and hiking trails, d. for children's playgrounds, e for performing arts and civic center, f, for. a ski lift and related facilities, g. for picnic areas, h. for recreational facilities such as tennis courts, swimming poo/s, gymnasium, ice skating rink, i. for theatre and assembly halls, convention center, public schools, j. for possible exchange or trade of condemned /and, or a portion thereof, with other property which may more exactly meet the needs of the town, k. to construct and maintain water works, transportation systems, and other public utilities relating to public health, safety, and welfare. FORD PARK - MA NA GEMENT PLAN Wha t was said.... About Open Space.... -"Improve quality of green space.., underground potential for the park and municipa/ services. " -"Are we trying to cram too much into a given area?" -"We're providing everything for everybody reduce . uses and take advantage of the park's natural aspects." - "Fabulous asset as is. " -"Responsible stewardship, Don't screw it up!" -"Leave the park as is. Don't ruin it. Take our stewardship seriously. " -"Ensure that the "whims" of a future group(s) will not _ erode the original intent for the park. " -"How do we reconcile current uses with the original intent?" -"Maintain open space, remain as is. Keep Central Park theme and protection. " - "Don't loose any green space. " - "Origina! 1970's vision still applies. " -"Rezone currently undeve/oped portion which then becomes sacrosanct. " FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN What was said.... About access..... -"There is no real entrance, where is the front door?" -"Entrance off of the Frontage Road is hideous. " -"Must complete the streamwalk and advertise it. It should run from the park to Lionshead.. " No new roads in the park. More paths are ok. " -"Must be accessible to everyone and to all venues. " -"It is great not to have a front door, access through a variety of ways is wonderful, " . -"Access is more the issue than parking. " - "Must incentivize alternative access opportunities." - "Each entrance should be attractive." -"Exp/ore better connections to the park. " -"There are conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. " FORD PARK J MANAGEMENTPLAN What was said..... About the Education Center..... -"EC is a good addition if done right- underground, not too big. " -"l have no strong feelings about the EC. The garden is a show place. " -"No additiona/ surface structures- new structures lead to expanded uses. " -"Has anyone considered using the o/d schoo/ house?" -"What is the anticipated number of visitors? I'm concerned about the edifice complex. The nature center and the EC seem like a nice tie in. "I -"Venues that are integrated should be together. Across the road defeats the purpose." -"What is the A/pine Garden's philosophy on the EC? What are they trying to accomplish -"This is proposal number one, what's next?" -"Underground EC in garden is good and is the oniy opportunity that exists for deve/opment in the park. " FORD PARK MANAGEMENTPLAN What was said.......... About Parking... - "Parking is an ongoing issue/prob/em. " - "A structure should be invisible ..underground." -"Let athletes wa/k and reserve parking for concert goers. " -"Existing parking lot access is all messed up, ratty, don't know where to turn. " -"This group is not saying a parking structure is a must, but good access is. " - "Only surface skier parking.. is an existing use. " -"The gra vel lot is ugl y---go vertical in to the hill. " -"No idea on location, just underground parking that works. " -"Use of the VTC and stream walk is wiser than spending $12 million on a structure." -"Is the parking issue the number of spaces or proximity to the park?" FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN WHAT WE HEARD..... 1. Open and green space was why the park was bought and is still an important function of the park and the town shou/dn't "screw it up" by over deve/oping it. The character of the park is fine the way it is. None of the current uses should be discarded. 2. The multiple access points and means into the park are a good thing. However, they are not as convenient, easy to use, easy to find, or attractive as they could be. Circulation within the park is also inconvenient and reduces the best use of the park. Non -vehicular means of access should be promoted such as mass transit and wa/k paths. 3. Consistent with the urging to "not screw it up" by over developing the park, comments regarding the proposed A/pine Gardens education center related to the impacts on the park. Many of the comments were actually questions indicating the concept was not well understood. Some thought the education center was a duplication of, or at least consistent with, the function of the Nature Center. Most agreed if the education center is going to exist, it must be adjacent to or within the gardens. 4. Parking is a serious problem at the park. The so/ution probably in vo/ ves more than one aspect. lmproving bus service and the wa/king connections are part of the solution. On-site parking, if expanded, shou/d be underground with green space on top. The probab/e best location for this structure is the existing gravel lot. The town should not be financially responsib/e for providing day skier parking while VA sells spaces at Go/den Peak. Winter parking use should be compatible with winter activities within the park, and / or emp/oyee parking. FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN PLAN FRAMEWORK lA. reservation nes. Delineate areas within Ford Park with particular aesthetic or environmental significance as preservation zones where no further development may occur. Change zoning of these areas to most restrictive zone district/classification possible. B. Draft legislation which establishes: 1. Allowable uses within the park. 2. Design guidelines and minimum construction standards. 3. Set maximum sizes for projects or buildings that could be allowed. III. Facilit O erations A. Loading and Delivery. Lessee's operating facilities within Ford Park are required to minimize vehicular intrusions into the park. All deliveries and loading will be scheduled to occur between the hours of 6 am and 9 am. All vehicles must be out of the park areas by 9 am. All lessee's will provide adequate space within their facility to accommodate storage requirements. B. Trash Removal. Lessee's operating facilities within Ford Park are required to utilize a centralized trash/refuse collection and pickup facility. No individual trash dumpsters will be allowed. All outdoor trash or recycling receptacles will be of an approved animal proof desian. r FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN . PLAN FRAMEWORK (contd) C. Maintenance. Primary access routes to all buildings, structures, and facilities are to be swept, cleared of snow and ice, and repaired on a routine basis. Primary access routes are to be designated by the Director of Public Works and Transportation. All buildings, structures, and facilities are to recei ve routine maintenance to include painting, staining, . cleaning, debris removal, landscape maintenance, etc. to ensure they remain in a safe, serviceab/e, and useable condition. D. Coordination and scheduling. All events and activities programmed by the Town of Vail or the lessee's will be based on a master schedule prepared by the Director of Public Works and Transportation (PW/T). Overlapping events which create parking demands whic exceed space and transit service capacities wili not be allowed. Requests for scheduling will be made to the Director of PW/T no /ess than one month and no more than 12 months prior to the requested date. The Town Council will establish priorities if there are conflicts. ti a FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN PLAN FRAMEWORK (contd) lll. Financial Responsibilities A. Stakeho/ders will continue to be responsible for the financing of repair, maintenance, and improvements to their existing facilities. B. The Town of Vail will continue to provide existing municipal services to the park. C. Public and private partnerships will be formed to finance an y future impro vemen ts to the park that are currently or will be shared by multiple users. , D. For improvement related projects, the initiating organization will be responsible for all costs relating to the construction, operations, and mitigation of the project. r FORD PARK k MANAGEMENT PLAN /SSUES A. ;;;P~~~~ 1, Mixed commen ts on this issue - Remove all parking. - Build structure under fie/ds and /et VA pay for them. - Make the bus from the VTC the easiest way to get to the park. - Improve the existing surface /ot on/y, - Build a structure under the existing /ot and use it for emp/oyee parking. 2. So/utions to the parking issue may involve more than one aspect. - Reduce demand for parking by making it easier to use the bus, by making it easier to wa/k, and by coordinating schedu/es to eliminate overlapping events. - Reconfigure existing parking areas, possibly expand existing parking areas somewhat to maximize the potentiai number of spaces. Remember that Frontage Road improvements require approval from CDOT and the loss of some parking spaces. 3. The primary issue becomes the number of spaces to be pro vided. - VA has requested that the option of a day skier parking facility option be left open. - Public comment was mixed as to whether day skier parking was appropriate. Several thought VA shou/d pay for it if it is to be built. - Most agreed that if a parking structure is to be built it shou/d go under the existing gravel lot ~ FORD PARK MANAGEMENTPLAN ISSUES (CONT'D) 1. Mixed comments on this issue as well. - Don't build anything more or new in the park. - Earth covered center in the park is ok. - Put in soccer fie/d parking lot and bury it. - Combine with Nature center or use another existing facility in the park. - It is important that the education center be adjacent or connected to the existing gardens. 2. A framework for decision making must be put into place #o deal with this, as well as future develoment proposals. These run the range frvm a referendum required for all future buildings, structures or facilities, to restricted zoning, to Town Council decision making as being the appropriate method(s) to protect and preserve the park. r FORD PARK MA NA GEMENT PLAN PRELIMINARY ACTION PLAN PROPOSED /MPROVEMENTS o Improve shuttle bus service. o Improve existing Streamwalk by: . - lighting - landscaping - grade improvement - signage o Improve the other 4 existing entries. o Design and construct new central access route into the park.

A handfu( of the iocals housing units will be ready for occupancy within the next two weeks, while the City Market grocery store component of the development will open in mid-to-late February. Several Council members inquired about the status of finding a day care provider to operate on the site (ads are currently being run by City Market in local newspapers to solicit proposals). In addition, Councilman Paul Johnston stressed the need to provide infant care at the facility. John Caldwell of City Market said feedback from providers, thus far, hasn't been positive about providing infant care, due to the profit margin. He said he'll share the day care proposals with the town once the deadline for proposals has passed. --Site Visit to Wall Street Fire Scene During a walk-through of the fire-ravaged Wall Street Building with members of the Fire Department, Council members saw where the fire originated and inspected the building's damage. The fire caused structural damage to the second and third floors. In addition, retailers on the first floor lost 100% of their stock. Fire Chief Dick Duran said the Sept. 27 fire (alarm was at 7:27 a.m.) occurred during a shift change of crew members, which allowed twice the number of firefighters to respond to the scene. Fire Marshal Mike McGee said the building burned three times faster than usual because of the presence of plastic ski boots and flammable liquid near where the fire began. He said the incident serves as a reminder of the importance in knowing the types of materials that are stored in each of the buildings. After expressing their appreciation to those involved in extinguishing and investigating the fire, Council members turned their attention to reconstruction scenarios, pedestrian access on Wall Street and staging operations. There are 15 different owners involved with the building, firefighters said. (more) ~,5~ RECYCLEDPAPER ~ ' Add 1lTOV Council Highlights --Information Update Public Works Director Larry Grafel presented an update on the Vail Village Club (Serrano's). He said the construction project is currently on schedule. The contractor is approved to work on the project from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays. Council members are keeping a close watch on the construction to minimize impacts during ski season. Grafel also indicated a call for artists has been prepared by the Arts In Public Places Board for the Seibert Circle project. The proposals will be sent out next week, with responses due January 6. Selection will occur on January 21 with construction beginning in the spring of 1998 and completed July 4, 1998. The town has set aside $300,000 for the project. Jim Lamont of the East Village Homeowners Association said his group fully supported moving ahead with the solicitation, but suggested refining the finai design to accommodate emergency response vehicles and loading and delivery interests through the area. In addition, Mike Rose, transit manager, and Todd Scholl, fleet manager, are attending the American Public Transportation annual meeting, Grafel said. One of the town's new 40-ft. buses is on display at the meeting. Also, the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority has agreed to lease an over-the-road coach to use on the system during ski season. Grafel also announced that 10 members from the Wyoming Department of Transportation are in Vail this week to learn more about the Main Vaii roundabouts. Lastly, it was announced Vail Valley Medical Center has authorized an appropriation of $8,000 to upgrade the helipad just west of the Vail Municipal Building along South Frontage Road. Work will begin Oct. 14 and will be completed within two weeks. During the construction period, the helipad location will be moved temporarily to the east end of Ford Park in the parking lot. SPECIAL NOTE: As of 2:30 P.M. today, Tawn staff has just learned the access permit to allow this upgrade must be approved by a special commission meeting for CDOT to be held Thursday, October 17th. Assuming approval, the project will begin the following day. Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer said representatives from the World Wide Church of God had expressed their thanks for a great convention in Vail. She said construction at the entrance of Dobson Arena and the Vail Library did not appear to negatively impact the group's convention activities. --Discuss Changing the Date for the Regular Municipal Election The Council voted 7-0 to create an ordinance to authorize a ballot issue for the next municipal election to allow voters to determine if they wish to amend the Vail Charter to (more) t Add 2lTOV Council Highlights align the date of Vail's municipal election with election dates for the county and state. Currently, the county and state elections are held the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. However, Vail's municipal election is held the first Tuesday after the third Monday (in odd years). Mayor Bob Armour, who suggested consideration of the change, noted the confusion and costs associated with the current election schedule. While the original intent was well-founded in giving consideration to those who may have been out of town before the start of ski season, Armour said, the community--and technology--have changed to the point that the extra two weeks might not be as much a factor these days. Council members agreed the matter doesn't warrant a special election. The question will be added to the next scheduled municipal election in November 1997, unless other issues necessitate a special election prior to next fall. --More Information Update The Council authorized public distribution of expanded council meeting agendas which provide background rationale, staff recommendations and an estimated length of time for discussion of each item. Council members asked the disclaimer indicating the approximation of times (on the agenda are subject to change), be prominently posted, so members of the public will know to use the timetable as a guide, not as an absolute schedule for timing appearances before the Council. --Council Reports Sybill Navas, the Council's representative on the Special Events Commission, suggested formalizing the entity by creating terms and membership for the Commission, much like the Arts In Public Places Board. Council members expressed interest in discussing a proposal. Paul Johnston, the Council's representative on the Eagle County Recreation Authority (Berry Creek 5th), gave an update on the last meeting and expressed frustration in advancing Vail's housing interests with the remaining partners. The Town of Vail holds 60 percent ownership of the property. Wondering how practical it is for the town to continue to hang on to its ownership percentage, Rod Ford suggested the town take a proactive role in determining how it might sell its ownership interest to another entity. He said the Town of Vail was instrumental in protecting the property from development when the land was purchased. He said now it's time for other parties to take responsibility for the property and to bring the money back to Vail. Town Attorney Tom Moorhead was asked to research the town's options. Paul Johnston also told of a company that uses a new technology of light-weight concrete systems in fabrication of buildings and was Iooking to establish a presence in the U.S., perhaps in Vail. He wondered if the technology could be explored for a locals housing development.

Armour also attended a 1999 World Alpine Ski Championship organizing committee meeting.

Town Councilman Vail Mayor VAIL TOWN COUNCIL EXTENDS COMMUNITY OUTREACH WITH TWICE-A-MONTH DAILY GRIND APPEARANCES (Vail)--On the first and third Tuesday of each month, a representative from the Vail Town Council will be on hand from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Daily Grind on Bridge Street in Vail Village to hear what you think about town-related matters. The new outreach program, which begins next Tuesday (10-15), is the idea of Councilman Rob Ford. "We all want to keep in touch with members of the community and this is one small thing we can do to reach out," Ford said. "We've all been doing this on our own to some extent, but now it makes some sense to commit to having a regular presence on the morning of our evening Council meetings." That way, if someone has a question about an agenda item to be discussed later in the day, the issues can be addressed, Ford said. The Council's outreach this year has also included a 24-hour voice-mail phone number, 479-1860, in which messages can be left any time of day, and a commitment to involving citizens in the town's decision-making, such as the West Vail Interchange project. Mayor Bob Armour applauded Ford's initiative. "We really want to know how people feel about issues," Armour said. "And this is one way we can do that." # # # , RECYCLEDPAPER CML RECEIvEO9cr 7 1996 1660 Lincoln Street, Suite 2100 • Denver, Colorado 80264-2101 • Phone (303) 831-6411, FAX (303) 860-8175 TO: (1) Mayors; (2) Managers (or Clerks in Municipalities without Managers); (3) Municipal Attorneys; (4) CML Executive Board; (5) CML Municipal Caucus Members; (6) Members of CML's Ballot Issues Committee; (7) COG Directors; (8) DOLA Field Reps FROM: Ken Bueche, Executive Director SUBJECT: November Statewide Ballot Issues Affecting Municipalities DATE: October 2, 1996 Introduction On November 5, voters will cast their ballots on four referred and eight initiated statewide issues.

CML's greatest concem is with Amendment 13, the so-called "Petition Rights" Amendment. This amendment is also sometimes referred to as "Son of 12," because it is patterned after Amendment 12, which was rejected by voters in 1994.

RECEIVED OCT 15 October 10, 1996 Bob McLaurin, Town Manager Bob Armour, Mayor Vail Town Council Members: Sybill Navas, Paul Johnston, Ludwig Kurz, .Kevin Foley, Michael Jewett, Rob Ford Larry Grafel, Director of Public Works Nancy Sweeney, Coordinator of Art in Public.Places This morning, October 10, I was informed that Siebert Circle was discussed at last Tuesday's Town Council meeting and further more that a review committee was appointed to oversee Siebert Circle issues. Given the amount of property that I personally own bordering Siebert Circle, how impactive the ultimate design can be on that property, and my prior demonstrated level of interests, I am upset that somehow I have been left out of the loop. I have attended every meeting on Siebert Circle that I had knowledge of. I was the only concerned citizen to appear at the Design Review Board meeting when Winston Associates made their presentation to narrow the options to present to the Town Council in an effort to get final approval during the winter of , `95. Previously I had offered to provide the required space, at no charge, to house the boiler` equipment if a water feature was deemed desirable. I was never consulted as to whether or not I wished to serve on this committee or who I might suggest to serve. In short, I very much wish to be involved on this issue to ensure that the very best design is adopted for this unique location. _ Ron Riley RR/co 228 Bnidge stveet, Vail, Colorado 81657 ~ 303-476-3 1 09/4150
