Specifically these executive session items will include a discussion of labor rates in the valley and wage adjustments. We also need to discuss the issue of additional property acquisition for housing and/or a new fire station. Once we complete the executive session, we will be prepared to begin a discussion of the major issues facing this budget. Obviously, one of the biggest issues facing us is the decision about how you wish to proceed with addressing fire service. For your information I have included the most recent fire station analysis which was conducted by Bill Gay, a nationally known fire expert. If you wish to see the studies which were conducted in 1985 and 1974 on this matter, please let me know and I will provide them for you. As indicated on the agenda, you will meet the Planning & Environmental Commission at noon for a lunch at Michael's American Bistro. The purpose of this discussion expectations for reviewing the Lionshead Master Plan and future SDD proposals. At 1:30 we will return to the Council Chambers and continue the Work Session. Following the PEC/DRB report we will resume the budget work session and discuss the revenue and the expenditure issues. We also wish to discuss with you strategies to address the situation. As requested, we have included three year histories of the various departmental budgets for your review and will present additional information as soon as it is complete.

The town is protected by two fire stations. The east Vail station is located approximately 1.5 miles from the eastern border of the town while the main Vail station is located iri the center of the town at mile marker 176. It is slightly over four miles from the main Vail fire station to the western border of the town. The two station are 4.5 miles apart. The current alignment of stations has led to a service gap in the west Vail' area. The gap has become more pronounced as west Vail has developed in recent years. The schematic map below illustrates the location of the fire stations relative to the I-70 mile markers. MAP 1 CURRENT LOCATION OF FIRE STATIONS IN VAIL M= Main station E= East Station Current Situation - 2 Stations 1.5 mi radius 1.5 mi radius 1 1 1 1 M 1 1 E 1 7 7 7 7 7 1 7 7 7 8 8 8 1 2 3 4 5 7 7 8 9 0 1 2 6 Strategy - View fire/emergency medical station response areas in terms of the life safety risks (commercial structures and dwellings) to determine the extent to which the current and proposed stations meet basic performance criteria. Performance Measure - Insurance Service Office (ISO) standard of having all . areas of a community within 1.5 miles of a fire/EMS station. This is the highest , level of coverage recognized by ISO. The ISO standard conforms to pre-hospital emergency medical recommendations for a four minute response time. Town of Vail, Colorudo Study Approach - Quantify the location of building lots and buildings, as depicted on the town's base map, to determine the distribution of buildings in the community. There are approximately 2,240 lots in the study area. • County lots in the Intermountain area were counted in the analysis because the fire department provides fire service to this area on a fee basis. • The study methodology does not take into consideration multiple structures and units in condominiums and hotel complexes. Performance Analysis • Review how the number of buildings or lots meeting the 1.5 mile performance criteria change as the number and location of fire stations are changed. • Review how average response times change as the number and location of fire stations are changed Exhibit 1 displays information about the number of lots in each of the nine maps contained in the town's 1" = 300' map set. The town not only stretches along the I-70 corridor but also has varying numbers of lots in each map segment on the north and south side of the highway. • S1 (Main Vail) and S2 (East Vail) indicate the map pages in which the fire stations are located. 0 The nuznber of lots on each map page was computed by counting the number of 4-digit parcels and any individual buildings that were displayed on the map. • Map 2 contains some lots in the county that are served by the Vail fire department. • A larger portion of the 2,2401ots are on the south side of the valley (I-70) (1,5061ots - 67%) although the north side has been developing in recent ° years (734 lots - 33%).

Separator - Map 4 with 1341ots. Buffehr Creek Road area (661ots) is primarily accessible from West Vail. 0 Central Vail - Maps 4 through 6- Savoy Village to the town's water treatment plant. The main Vail fire station is located on Map 5 at the main Vail interchange on I-70. The station is located 4.4 miles from the western border of the town and 4.5 miles from the East Vail fire station. The main station serves a 6.5 mile corridor from the western boundary of the town to the water treatment plant. 71 % of the lots in the town are in the primary service area of the main station. Separator - Map 7 with 77 lots. Area is primarily golf course. Western portion is only reasonably accessible from the main fire station and the eastern portion is only reasonably accessible from the east station. • East Vail - Maps 7 through 10. Bald Mountain townhouses to the eastern boundary. 81% of the lots are on the south side of I-70. The station is 1.5 miles from the eastern boundary of the town and 4.5 miles from the main fire station. The station serves a 3.5 mile corridor from the water treatment plant to the eastern boundary of the town. Exhibit 2 displays information about the number of lots and the number of fire/EMS calls in the western, central and eastern sections of Vail. The main Vail fire station is responsible for the calls in central and west Vail. Rez,iew Draft March 19, 1997 Pnge 4 Town of Vail, Colorado EXHIBIT 2 DISTRIBUTION OF LOTS AND FIRE/EMS CALLS .

Disadvantages • The relocation would move the station from the built up center of its primary response area to the less developed western side of its response area. • The relocation would substantially reduce the number of lots that fall within the 1.5 mile travel distance from the station • The relocation would increase the average travel time for service in east Vail from 4.0 minutes to 5.1 manutes - an increase of 28%.

This change will have little impact on response times to the station's main service area. • Exhibit 4 illustrates the number of lots that meet and exceed the 1.5 mile response standard. 57% of the lots served by the station are outside the 1.5 mile coverage standard. These lots are primarily west of mile marker 174.5. Advantages • Moving the station would enable the town to build a larger facility. The current station is too small for the apparatus and personnel assigned to the station. • Moving the station to the north side of I-70 would enable the town to construct a station in a less congested area. • Moving the station to the north side of I-70 will enable the town to substitute low cost for high cost property. • Moving the station to the north side of I-70 will have virtually no impact on the number of lots that fall within the 1.5 mile coverage area. Some lots on the south of I-70 will have slightly longer response times while some lots on the north side of I-70 will have slightly shorter response times. .

The area has experienced considerable commercial and residential development in recent years. A location for a station has been tentatively identified on the north side of I-70 on Chamonix Road. Thirty-six percent of the , towns' lots would be covered by this station. Advantages • A west Vail station would improve coverage to this area of the town. The proposed location would enable the town to meet the highest ISO criteria. Nearly all of the lots from central Vail west would be within the ISO's 1.5 mile coverage area. • A location near the west Vail interchange would enable the station to serve both the north and south sides of I-70. • The fire department would be able to provide coverage to the Buffehr Creek area without having to backtrack. Exhibit 5 illustrates the performance characteristics of the proposed west Vail fire station. A larger number of lots will fall within the 1.5 mile standard and the average travel time to locations in west Vail will drop from 6.7 to 2.3 minutes. - a decrease of 66%.

IA TOWN OF VAIL Department of Community Development • • , . 75 South Frontage Road i/ail, Colorado 81657 . 970-479-2138 FAX 970-479-2452 TM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development DATE: October 13, 9998 SUBJECT: Overview of Community Development projects Staff: Russ Forrest 1. Purpose The purpose of this worksession is to obtain the Town Council's input on projects that should be included in the 1999 & 2000 work-plan and budget for Community Development. Attached is a summary of projects that over the course o# the las# year either have been identified by Cauncil, Planning and Environmental Commission, or staff for action. Most of the listed projects do not involve additional resources outside of staff time. Several projects such as an economic development ptan and cammunity facilities plan would require consulting fees. Estimated costs are provided in the attached matrix where there may be consulting fees (see column project/estimated cost). . 2. Staffing Capacity for Projects Please take an opportunity ta review the projects and determine what pro}ects you feel should be addressed and which ones should not. For those actions that you feel should be included in the Community Development work p{an, please indicate whether you feel it is a high, medium, or low priority. As a point of reference, Community Development can comfortably manage 2 major community projects at a time (i.e., Common Gcound, Lionshead). Each Senior Planner can effectively handle 1 long-range project at a time (i.e. Austria House, GRFA code revision) along with a full case-load of development review projects. We currently have 2 Senior Planners and a Chief of Planning. The Environmental Health Specialist can comfortably manage 1-2 major projects at a time (Green Star Program, Waste Management). The Housing program is already relatively defined by the Common Ground process. . However, the Council's input on housing recommendations identified by the public as part of the recent common ground , discussions would be very hefpful. L~ RECYCLEDPAPER The attached list includes space to mark whether you feei an action is a prinrity for _ action. At the Tuesday worksession, staff will briefly review each project in a power poirrt presentation. Staff will then ask Council to identify high priority actions. 3. Recommendations On September 28, 1998 the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the Department's project list and made recommendations on high priority actions. The high . priority recommendations include: • • Economic Development Plan " • Community Facility Siting • Revise EHU policy and improve enforcement • Review parking pay in lieu policy • Continue improving development process (Development Review Improvement Process) - provide an intemet connection for applications • Codify staff interpretations • Improve water quality protection standards (erosion control, stormwater management) • Compfete So1id Waste Pian • Update Design Guidelines after Lionshead Master Plan is complete • Evaluate covering I-70 and identify mitigation for interstate noise and air quality impacts The Community Development staff fully supports the Town Managers Budget, which proposes funding for an economic development plan and a community facility plan within the Planning Division. We feel these to be the most critical planning needs that neesi funding at this time. The Manager's budget also funds the first tier actions for Cnmmon Ground and the proposed environmental projects. Staff also feels an evaluation of , performance building codes would be very useful to improve building safety and allow additional creativity in design.

Continue research on financial incentives such as creation of Downtown Development Authoriry and taking advantage of Tax Increment Financing. Design Guidelines Rework/overhaul of the general design ($60,000) guidelines which effect properties Town wide. This has been budgeted for several years and pushed back due to other Council priorities. Parking & The parking requirements in the core Parking Pay-in-lieu areas and in other areas of town may not reflect the real needs. The current parking requirements are based upon urban area models which do not take into account mass transit, pedestrianization, and skiing. A complete analysis needs to be performed to understand the true impacts of retail area expansion, addition of hotel rooms, and other uses. This should also be included as a necessary activity for implementation of the Lionshead Master Plan. SDD process Develop a revised process for SDD _ revisions proposals. Council has expressed concerns about how SDD projects are processed. It was identified that the Council input is needed earlier in the process. The entire regulation needs to be reviewed to develop and consistent and reliable process. ; .0 . DRIP - Standards Completion and adoption of DRIP standards phase 1.

Three Mile Plan Develop a three-mile plan per State ($40,000-$80,000) Statute for the Vail area. This would allow Vail to have more control over activities within 3 miles of the boundary, including, potentially, Vail Mtn. Community Facility Through the Common Ground process, Needs Assessment the community identified the RV parking ($40, 000 - Currently area and the Golf Course Club house as Budgeted) possible sites for communiry facilities.

Includes potential revisions for West Vail businesses that have received variances over the years for signs. Revision would place code in matrix form. Staff Reduce the number of these by Interpretations codification or elimination. Notebook Code Enforcement Numerous violations are occurring with respect to construction without building permits or DRB approval, signs, parking and vehicle storage, dumpsters, etc. There is a need to be an ongoing commitment to enforcing the Zoning and Sign Codes.

Water Quality Council requested staff to review Program ($10,000- standards for erosion control, storm currently budgeted) water management, and stream setbacks. In addition, the Town has had an active partnership with the Water District and VA to monitor water quality and the biological health of Gore Creek. Tree Ordinance As part of Pathways to Performance, Com Dev staff identified becoming a tree city USA as an important action. Next step - would be to determine if Council is interested.

VAIL POLICE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: Bob McLaurin, Town Manager FROM: Greg Morrison, Chief of Police DATE: October 9, 1998 REF: Ski Club Vail A request has been made by Ski Club Vail to upgrade the shoulder of Vail Valley Drive and allow loading and unloading between Golden Peak and the Ski Club Vail facility. After reviewing this request with my staff, I want to express my very strong opposition to this request due to it's negative impact on pedestrian safety, traffic flow and especially our bus system in that area. Since the redevelopment of Golden Peak, cars stopping on the shoulder of Vail Valley Drive, or pulling up onto the sidewalks, have caused traffic delays in the area. From personal experience I can attest that once just one car pulls to the side of the road and stops to unload, immediately many other cars do exactly the same. The car doors fly open and suddenly adults and children are stepping into the traffic lane causing others cars to come to a stop. The result is an immediate traffic jam on Vail Valley Drive which often times backs traffic up all the way out to the frontage road. Town of Vail busses get caught in the jam which then slows down the entire in- town route. Evening loading creates the same problems as cars pull off to the side and wait for skiers to wallc to their cars, or often time parents leave their cars and go in search of their children. During holidays and busy weekends police officers and CEOs have been stationed in the area to keep traffic moving. On numerous occasions though, every on-duty police officer and CEO have been required to respond to the area. Our most effective traffic management strategy has been to prevent any cars from stopping on the side of the road to unload. This results in the free movement of traffic and the greatest safety for pedestrians. Allowing Ski Club Vail to establish a loading and unloading zone on the roadside will only result in once again having significant traffic jams on Vail Valley Drive. The number of Ski Club Vail members arriving at the same time in the morning will far exceed the number of spaces on the side of the road. By the time a Slci Club Vail driver gets to the proposed unloading zone, he/she will have passed the unloading zones at Golden Peak. Seeing the SCV unloading zone full, a driver will most likely pull to the side of the road outside the unloading zone, stop in the traffic lane to wait for a space to become available, unload while double parking in the street or make a U-turn in the roadway to return to Golden Peak. All of these actions negatively effect traffic flow and safety in the area. Additionally drivers not affiliated with Ski Club Vail, will be attracted to the unloading zone and further compound the problems. I would, however, strongly support the placement of a cement sidewalk between Golden Peak and Ski Club Vail, on the South side of Vail Valley Drive. Such a sidewalk would greatly increase pedestrian safety in the area, especially for SCV children, while SCV utilized the unloading zones at Golden Peak. i ~ TO: Town Council FROM: Andy Knudtsen Kris Widlak RE: Amendment to the Town of Vail Employee Housing Guidelines - DATE: October 13, 1998 The first resale at Vail Commons is underway. The Employee Housing Guidelines set forth the procedures for resale. The basic eligibility, as stated in the current guidelines require applicants for deed restricted housing be first-time homebuyers. This standard has been effective for the initial sales of Vail Commons and Red Sandstone; however, it does not a11ow owners of existing deed restricted homes to bid on other deed restricted homes that become available. The existing guidelines have been provided in the Council packet. The proposed modified language for Section IV is in Italics as follows: IV. RESALE LOTTERY CRITERIA A. There are five basic eligibility requirements which must be met prior to an individual submitting a bid to purchase an employee housing unit. 1. The applicant must intend to use the unit as his/her primary residence and maintain it as his/her primary residence in the future. 2. The applicant must be currently employed at a business located within Eagle County which holds a business license with the appropriate jurisdiction (Town of Vail, Town of Avon, etc.), must be employed an average of 30 hours each week on an annual basis, and must maintain this level of employment for as long as he - or she owns the unit. 3. The applicant may not own residential real estate in Eagle County at the time of application, except where that rea/ estate is deed restricted as a Town of Vail employee housing unit with a resa/e appreciation cap. 4. The applicant must be prequalified with a mortgage lender. 5. For the three bedroom units at Vail Commons and Red Sandstone, the applicant must have a household size of 3 or more persons. For the purposes of determining household size, applicants may include all persons related to the applicant by blood, marriage, or + adoption. If the applicant plans to include dependents, they must be listed on federal income tax torms and reside in the household at least six months and one day out of every 12 month period of time. Y B. Once basic eligibility has been met, the qualified person(s) submitting the highest bid price (not to exceed the maximum bid price) during a bidding period shall have the first right to negotiate purchase of the unit. If two or more qualified bids are submitted at the highest bid price, they shall receive preference and be prioritized for selection as the top bidder based on their status within the following trers: First Tier Persons living in and owning another deed-restricted, appreciation-capped unit within the same complex. . Second Tier Persons living in and owning another deed-restricted, - appreciation-capped unit within the Town of Vail. ThirrJ Tier Any persons who meet the five basic eligibility requirements as described in Section /V, Paragraph A of the Town of Vail Emp/oyee Housing Guidelines. If finro or more qualified bids are submitted at the highest bid price, AND the bidders fall into the same tier, they shall receive preference and be prioritized for selection as the top bidder based on the highest score using the criteria listed below. Each year of residency and employment in Eagle County will count as one point in determining the total score. Additional points will be determined as follows: 1. Current and consecutive years of employment in Vail shall be weighted at 3:1 over consecutive years of employment elsewhere in Eagle County and historical employment in Vail immediately preceding consecutive employment elsewhere in Eagle County. 2. Current and consecutive year of residence in Vail shall be weighted at 3:1 over consecutive years of residence elsewhere in Eagle County and historical residence in Vail immediatety preceding consecutive residence elsewhere in Eagle County. Staff recommends that the Town Council adopt these Town of Vail Housing Guidelines as proposed. These modifications will create an opportunity for owners within Town of Vail local's housing developments to "move up" without having to "move out" to free market developments. This is particularly important as financial and family situations change. Staff believes that providing a priority status for existing owners to purchase other deed- . restricted units as they become available will strengthen the Town's housing program. , THE TOWN OF VAIL EMPLOYEE HOUSING GUIDELINES 10-13-98 Town of Vail Employee Housing Guidelines Page 1 of 10 I. PURPOSE The purpose of the Employee Housing Guidelines (Guidelines) is to set forth the occupancy requireinents, re-sale procedures, and resale price limitations for the Town of Vail deed restricted for-sale employee housing. Additional information pertaining to Employee Housing Unit deed restrictions can be found in the applicable Master Deed Restriction Agreement (Master. Deed Restriction) for the occupancy and resale of certain projects such as Vail Commons. Prior to closing on a employee housing unit, the owner must sign an individual deed restriction which references the Guidelines and the Master Deed Restriction whichwill be recorded at the closing, . and which will run with the property in perpetuity. - II. MAXIMUM RESALE PRICE An owner may desire to sell a deed-restricted Employee Housing Unit provided that the resale price and prospective purchaser meet the standards of the Guidelines and the Master Deed Restriction. Resale price may not exceed: A. The original price plus B. An increment equal to 3% per annum of the original purchase price from the date of purchase (prorated at the rate of 0.25% for each whole month of any part of any year) plus C. The value of capital improvements (including professional architect's fees) made to the Employee Housing Unit not exceeding 10% of the original purchase price. For every ten years from the date of original purchase and deed restriction, another ten percent of the purchase price may be added to the value of the property for capital improvements plus D. The value of any special assessments made by a homeowner's association or by a local government that have been paid by the owner. Additional details regarding resale value as well as calculation methods are provided in the deed restriction. III. RESALE PROCEDURES The deed-restricted unit must be listed for sale with the Town of Vail. A. Listing the Unit with the Town of Vail: Staff Duties 1. An owner of an affordable housing unit desiring to sell should consult with Town staff (Housing Division) and review the individual deed restriction and the Master Deed Restriction covering the unit to determine the _ maximum sales price permitted and other applicable provisions concerning ToNN n of Vail Employec: Housing Guidelines Page 2 of 11 a sale. Unless otherwise provided in the Master Deed Restriction, the unit must be listed for sale with the Town and the Town staff or its designee will administer the sale in accordance with the Guidelines in effect at the time of listing. There shall be a minimum listing period of three months before a unit's price can be readjusted. Any tertnination in the listing may require the payment of administrative and advertising costs. The'/ percent of the sales price required to be deposited with Town staff at time of listing will be forfeited. Costs exceeding the amount of the deposit shall be paid by the owner. ' 2. The Guidelines are intended to assure that ALL pwchasers and ALL sellers will be treated fairly and impartially. Questions will be answered and help provided to any potential purchasers or sellers equally in accordance with the current Guidelines. Listings, sales contracts, extensions to contracts and closing documents will be prepared and all actions necessary to consummate the sale shall be undertaken. 3. In pursuit of the above, the staff will be acting on behalf of the Town. It should be clearly understood by and between all parties to a sales transaction that the staff inembers are not acting as licensed brokers to the transaction, but as representatives of the Town and its interests. They shall nevertheless attempt to help both parties consl.unmate a fair and equitable sale in accordance with the then current Guidelines. • 4. All purchasers and sellers are advised to consult legal counsel regarding examination of title and all contracts, agreements and title documents. The retention of such counsel, licensed real estate brokers, or such related services, shall be at purchaser's or seller's own expense. The fees paid to the Town are to be paid regardless of any actions or services that the - pwchaser or seller may undertake or acquire. B. Advertising the Sale: Bid Periods 1. After a unit is listed for sale with the Town, the Town will arrange to advertise the unit for sale in two consecutive Friday editions of the Vail Daily and the Vail Trail. When a unit is first listed, there is an initial two- week bid period during which the unit will be advertised with two open house dates when the unit may be viewed by interested parties. The initial two-week bid period ends on the Friday after the second week of advertising. If no bids are received during the initial bid period, there will follow consecutive one-week bid periods, ending on Friday, until the unit is sold. 'ToNN n of Vail Employee Housine Guidelines Page 3 of 11 ~ 2. If more than one bid is received during any bid period, the bids shall be prioritized according to the criteria of the then-current Guidelines. If more than one bid is in top priority, a lottery will be held and the winner will be notified. If the winner of the lotterydoes not proceed to contract within five business days after notification, the next in line will be notified and so on, until the unit is under contract for purchase. Back-up contracts in the priority order set forth in the lottery will be accepted. Prospective purchasers must be pre-qualified by a4ender prior to submitting a bid for affordable housing. Names of authorized lenders are available from the Town. Town staff will be available to assist interested parties with the purchase procedures and to answer any questions about the process. C. Sales and Other Fees: 1. Unless otherwise set forth in the Master Deed Restriction covering the unit, at the closing of the sale, the seller will pay the Town a sales fee equal to two (2) percent of the sales price. The Town may instruct the title company to pay said fees to the Town out of the funds held for the seller at the closing. Unless otherwise specified in the Master Deed Restriction, a one-half percent (1/2%) fee is paid by the Seller at the time of listing, which is applied to the total sales fee payable at closing. In the event that the seller fails to perform under the listing contract, rejects all offers at maximum price in cash or cash-equivalent terms, or should withdraw the listing after advertising has commenced, that portion of the fee will not be refunded. In the event that the seller withdraws for failure of any bids to be received at maximum price or with acceptable terms, the advertising and administrative costs incurred by the Town shall be deducted from the fee, with the balance credited to the owner's sales fee when the property is sold. 2. Conventional-type financing provisions (i.e. FNMA) are those which provide, among other things, for the removal of the Master Deed Restriction on the unit upon foreclosure of the mortgage if the Town does not exercise its option to purchase the unit within a specified time following foreclosure. Unless otherwise set forth in the Deed Restriction covering the unit, upon the initial sale, resale or refinancing of units where conventional-type financing provisions are used (the use of which shall be at the sole discretion of the Town) there may be a fee charged by the Town. The fee shall be paid by the mortgagor; shall be based on the amount of the mortgage; shall be paid for each mortgage transaction; and Co~% n of Vail ErTployoe f luusing Guidelines Page 4 of 11 shall be deposited in the Town mortgage reserve fund account. If the fee is paid on a unit and the unit is subsequently refinanced, the fee shall only apply to that amount of the refinanced mortgage greater than the initial mortgage upon which the fee was initially collected. The amount and adequacy of the fee ana the mortgage reserve fand shall be reviewed annually as part of the review of the Guidelines. D. Deed Restriction: The purchaser must execute, in a form satisfactory to the Town and for recording with the Eagle County Clerk concurrent with the closing of the sale, a document acknowledging the purchaser's agreement to be bound by (1) the recorded Master Deed Restriction covering the sale unit and (2) the then-current Guidelines. IV. RESALE LOTTERY CRITERIA A. There are five basic eligibility requirements which must be met prior to an individual submitting a bid to purchase an employee housing unit. 1. The applicant must intend to use the unit as his/her primary residence and maintain it as his/her primary residence in the future. 2. The applicant must be currently employed at a business located within Eagle County which holds a business license with the appropriate jurisdiction (Town of Vail, Town of Avon, etc.), must be employed an average of 30 hours each week on an annual basis, and must maintain this level of employment for as long as he or she owns the unit. 3. The applicant may not own residential real estate in Eagle County at the rime of application, except wher-e that r•eal estate is deed r-estricted as a Town of Vail emplovee housing tinit with a resale appreciation cap. 4. The applicant must be prequalified with a mortgage lender. 5. For the three bedroom units at Vaii Commons and Red Sandstone, the applicant must have a household size of 3 or more persons. For the purposes of determining household size, applicants may rt Town of Vail Employc.~ Housine Guidelines Page 5 of 11 include all persons related to the applicant by btood, marriage, or adoption. If the applicant plans to include dependents, they must be listed on federal income tax forms and reside in the household at least six months and one day out of every 12 month period of time. B.

This week, the update relates to the housing site adjacent to the Lionshead parking structure. Resolution 10, Series 1998 included creating a set of opportunities for interested community members to shape the future development program for specific sites. The first two sites for the community to consider are the West Vail and Lionshead sites. The community discussions for West Vail begin Monday, October 12. The discussions for Lionshead will begin Monday, October 19. U. Purpose The purpose of the next step is to create development parameters that can be included in RFP's (Request for Proposals). Due to the complexity of the Lionshead site, the schedule far reaching specific development parameters must be coordinated with the discussions about a potential community center and the approval of the Lionshead Master plan. III. Schedule For the discussions that begin next week, staff is proposing 1. Site visits • Monday, October 19, 5-7 PM and Tuesday, October 20, 10 - noon Purpose:, To see examples of existing seasonal housing solutions with tours of Buzzard Park and River Edge as well as to walk the sites in Lionshead with development potential for both housing and community facilities. Tours begin and end from the West Vail Lodge. Community Dialogue Wednesday, October 21, 5 -7 Purpose: To provide an update regarding the Common Ground and Lionshead Master Plan processes and to provide a time to record the needs and concerns of neighborhood residents and business owners about seasonal housing adjacent to the Lionshead parking structure. Meeting will be held at the West Vail Lodge. 3. Future meetings will continue in December and January when they can be coordinated with the community facilities dialogue. The Open House listed in previous agendas and scheduled for the week of November 9th is canceled. IV.

This year's title is "WORLD CLASS: How to Team Up for Success Wherever You Live and Work." School of Professional Studies - Mesa State College is honored to host our local gathering and, in cooperation with FORTLTNE magazine, there's even more to get excited about! As a special bonus to the day- long event, you and your team can also interact with Jack Welch, Chairman and CEO of General Electric, and Herb Kelleher, Chauman, CEO, and President of Southwest Airlines. In this lively 75-minute exchange, you'll experience the latest insights and strategies for success from these inspiring "world-class" leaders. "World-class" is indeed a term that no one can afford to ignore. It's no longer just a catch-all phrase for excellence, it's the standard for everybody everwhere. And, with the world as our classroom, who better to help us celebrate and perpetuate world-class performance than: Dr. Stephen Covey the world's number one author on personal and professional development, whose book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has sold more than 12 million copies in 28 countries. Time magazine recognized him as one of the 25 most influential people in America. Dr. Ken Blanchar3 the wo:ld's :aum.be: one advocate for merging proven human values with strong business practice. He's the first to have four books on Business Week's Top 15 best-seller list simultaneously (One Minute Manager, Raving Fans, Empowerment Takes More Than a Minute, and Everyone's a Coach in 1996). Mission Possible and Gung Ho! made it in 1997 and 1998. Dr. Tom Peters the world's number one all-time best-selling business author, with books such as In Search of Excellence and The Circle of Innovation. Tom Peters is also ranked "number one in awazeness and credibility of business leaders" by Siegel & Gale/Roper Starch Worldwide. And the Los Angeles Times recognizes Peters as "the father of the post modern corporation." T'he "Worldwide Lessons in Leadership Series" will provide solid answers to your most pressing questions. As global competition mushrooms, and change accelerates before our eyes, the need for cooperation and connection by people at all levels is the winning edge. P.O. Box 2647 • Grand Junction • Colorado • 81502-2647 r The winning edge is what Drs. Covey, Blanchard, and Peters will give you. They'll teach you how to team up to achieve bigger results and greater success, mutual trust and respect between employees and management, more positive attitudes, and superior communication. In other words, they'll show you how to be less frustrated, less anxious, less "busy" and more effective team members. Leadership is only as great as teams are effective. Think hack to those times when you felt "gung ho" about getting the job done when it wasn't a task, but a joy. Most likely, you were part of a great team. It might have been in sports or with a work group or social club. Regardless, when people function as a single unit with a common goal, there's a special thrill of belonging. Most of us will spend the rest of our liv-es trying to recapture that feeling. That same great feeling is what Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchazd, and Tom Peters can help you and your co- . workers grab onto. They'ie sunply the best at instilling in everyone an "I take caze of myself" attitude that problems are never solved by looking for someone to blame... that managers as well as employees need praise that courtesy and cooperation aze two-way streets, where you get what you give..., that negative attitudes, petty politics, and gossip aze out and that trustworthy, cooperative people are in! The perfect moderator, for this unique event on November 18 is Linda Ellerbee, Emmy award-winning journalist and best-selling author. During the interactive question/answer session, she will challenge Drs. Covey, Blanchazd, and Peters with questions provided by you over the Internet. Since Covey, Blanchazd, and Peters are known worldwide for their up-to-the-minute awazeness, it's impossible to predict all the new material they'll cover on November 18. But expect to learn: How to count on hazd work as the only way to lead by example How everyone can build a climate of trust and openness How to help everyone around you fmd their hidden strengths and put them to work How to grow your mental toughness and competence How to develop a healthy sense of urgency How to see "the big picture°" by acting like a"business person" How to learn from and earn from past experience How to catch your boss "doing things right" and have the boss do the same with you! In addition to presentations by The Big Three l~us the FORTUNE session with Jack Welch and Herb Kelleher you'll get another bonus: Each person you bring will receive a free hazdcover edition of Lessons in Leadership From YOUR Neighborhood (517 pages, $29.95 retail value). This book will not be available to the general public until its release in 1999. Imagine the time constraints and the monetary lunits that make it impossible to access all the books, tapes, lectures, and articles on leadership today. But most of these insights aze found in the works of Stephen Covey, Ken Blanchard, and Tom Peters and you'll get them on November 18! If you were to travel to three different locations and manage to get a seat for each of the razely available presentations by Covey, Blanchard, and Peters, your ticket prices alone would exceed $1,100. However, register for the third annual "Worldwide Lessons in Leadership Series" by November 16, and you will experience it all for only $149 (with group discounts) to $199 less than 20 percent of the normai price. That also covers your book, program materials, light meal and of course, the special FORTUNE session. To get world-class effort from your team, co-workers, or employees, it's so important that this event reach every person. The days of looking to a single leader to "figure it all out" are days long gone. Now it takes enthusiasm and commitment at every level. Make it possible for everyone to spend a day with The Big Three, and you can count on a deep understanding and momentum that will carry faz beyond November 18. You and your co-workers can learn together and return together to the workplace re-energized. f /4 Whether you're in management or on the front line, whether your organization is lazge or small manufacturing, government, sales, the military, communications, health care, transportation, utilities, non- profit or another area, you'll increase your understanding of why every person is vital to your future. This is the first chance to get the latest insights of Ken Blanchazd, Stephen Covey, and Tom Peters at such a low price, but the incredible value doesn't end there. Just one small portion of this presentation could retum your investment countless times over when it is revealed how every organization can capitalize on "opportunity number one."

Those discussions, beginning with site visits on Oct. 12 and 13, will mark the second stage of the Common Ground citizen involvement process in which 17 sites have been identified in three phases for housing, open space, parks and community facilities. A portion of the West Vail site is among 11 parcels recommended for housing and the first of three housing sites identified for implementation in phase one. In accepting the Common Ground site re.commendations for housing, Vail Town Council members have pledged that the town will work with surrounding neighborhoods on a site-by-site basis to address compatibility issues such as density, architectural design and site planning. "Just as in the first phase of this process, the people who get involved are the ones who will have a direct hand in the ultimate outcome," said Mayor Rob Ford. "If you care about these sites, now's the time to join in these important discussions." In the case of the West Vail site, discussions during October and November will determine various programming elements for the new park, such as swing sets, picnic tables and other uses, as well as specific parameters for the housing component, including architectural (more) L~ RECYCLEDPAPER ; i West Vail Site/Add 1 character, site coverage, parking requirements and the number of for-sale units, among other . things. "We're coming to the neighborhood with a blank sheet of paper as far as the housing and park elements go," said Andy Knudtsen, project manager. "We're anticipating a lot of creativity and flexibility on the part of the design." The town has hired Jerry Seracuse, a design consultant from Denver, as well as five other . architects and designers from the local community to assist with the discussions. Their role will be to translate the ideas and concepts that are generated during the discussions into visual illustrations. "Once we've worked with folks in the neighborhood to come up with specific parameters for the park and housing components, the Town of Vail will list these in a request for proposals process that will be used to hire a development team for the site," Knudtsen said. "From there, the project will undergo a public development review process required of all projects." There will be four opportunities for citizen participation during the West Vail site discussions in October and November. The first, a visit to the West Vail site and a tour of the Vail Commons development, will be used to probe general opinions and preferences about the future development. The site visit will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 12 and will be repeated from 10 a.m. to noon on Oct. 13. Participants are asked to meet at the Inn at West Vail to begin the tour. Then, from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 14, residents are encouraged to attend a meeting at the Inn at West Vail to work with the town's design facilitators in making recommendations about density and architectural characteristics as well as site planning for the park and housing components. From there, ideas generated at the Oct. 14 meeting will be refined and displayed at an open house from Nov. 2-6 in the atrium of the Vail Public Library. Next, from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 5, a community meeting will take place at the Library to review the work from the open house and to generate additional comments and suggestions. The result of that work, in the form of recommended development parameters for the site, will (more) s West Vail Site/Add 2 be presented to the Vail Town Council on Nov. 17. Approval of the development parameters would then trigger a process to solicit and hire a development team with construction of the housing and tlie park possibly beginning next summer. Housing developed on the site will be deed restricted and will be sold only to full-time employees working at local businesses, Knudtsen said. However, the town will retain ownership of the land through an arrangement similar to the Vail Commons development. Although the West Vail parcel is one of three sites targeted by lawsuits attempting to stop development on the sites, Vail Town Council members have asked to move forward with the neighborhood discussions in the spirit of compromise, flexibility and understanding. For more information on the West Vail site planning meetings, including free child care arrangements provided by the Vail Recreation District, contact Knudtsen at 479-2440. The town will launch a similar planning process for a second housing site identified in the Common Ground plan beginning Oct. 19. Those discussions will focus on the south side of the Lionshead parking structure, which is recommended for a seasonal affordable housing development. # # # • ~ About the West Vail Site... The West Vail site is a 5.9-acre parcel located at the intersection of Arosa Dr. and Garmisch. This property is also known as the "town manager's lots" because it is located just east of the town-owned property that houses the town manager and his family. The West Vail property was obtained during two transactions. First, in 1990, 3.9 acres were purchased by the Town of Vail for $218,000. This acquisition was purchased with funds from the Real Estate Transfer Tax. In the minutes from the Town Council meeting in which the purchase was approved, the mayor stated that the "eventual use of the land was not determined yet, but there is a possibility of using it for recreation, open space or for employee housing." The _ RETT fund was reimbursed for the purchase of the West Vail site with payments firom the - Town's general fund starting immediately following acquisition. Then in 1997, the Town ' acquired a 2-acre parcel adjacent to this property during a land exchange with the U.S. Forest Service. This portion of the property currently remains outside the town's boundaries. It will require annexation and zoning. The remainder of the land is platted as four lots zoned primary/secondary. Current zoning would permit development of 8 residential units on the site. The West Vail site has been discussed as a viable site for affordable housing by the Vail Housing Authority and the Vail Town Council since 1990. The West Vail and Matterhorn neighborhoods have identified the greatest need for a neighborhood park, according to results from the 1998 Town of Vail Community Survey. The Common Ground recommendation for this site is development of a neighborhood park as well as owner-occupied affordable housing.

They have ad layouts and also some great tags for abandoned vehicles for us to use in our adopted neighborhoods and anywhere else we see fit. . My thanks go out to Sgt Wright, who took this idea (impound sales leftovers) to staff and to Pam Brandmeyer for hearing me out and supporting the concept.

Thomas Moorhead, Town Attorney, / , DATE: October 7, 1998 SUBJECT: Update to Snowcat Realignment Project As you are aware, Vail Associates and the Town of Vail have been working in cooperation with one another to develop a route to access Vail Mountain by the snowcats that would not include Forest Road. The most feasible route would be to cross Gore Creek in the area of the Old Town Shop lots and create a new trail that would intersect with Westin Ho above the Glen Lion Subdivision. This effort has been hampered by the inability to change covenants which pertain to Glen Lyon Subdivision and use of property which is owned by the Town of Vail. As a final effort to explain the community benefits and advantages to be gained by such snowcat access to the mountain, the services of Palmer Communications Group have been engaged. Ross Palmer will be working with the Town and Vail Associates to communicate the goals and objectives of this program to the private property owners to secure signatures from individuals representing 75% of the Glen Lyon Subdivision that will allow for a covenant amendment and thereby begin the approval process that would be required. Myself and Suzanne Silverthorn will continue to coordinate the efforts on behalf of the Town of Vail with Vail Associates and the Palmer Communications Group. Thank you.

Andy Knudtsen Town of Vail E*Mail: Aknudtsen@ci.vail.co.us Dear Mr. Knudtsen: ~ I received your letter of September 18 as my wife and I own a condominium at The Lodge at Lionshead. We fully support employee housing and believe that it is essential for the Town of Vail to address the current shortage. However, we do not believe that the iproblem should be solved by creating another problem * ignoring annlicable zoning laws and density considerations. IJsing space in front of the Lionshead parking structure is too expedient a solution. What is worse is what I understand to be the attitude of the Town Council * that zoning laws which regulate the conduct of the taxpayers do not apply to the Town. There is little available ground in front of the parking structure and building retail space at ground level and housing on top can not possibly meet the setback limits and other zoning rules, not to mention how it will change the . appearance of that area. This will do nothing more than make East Lionshead Circle even more congested, which can not be in keeping with the Lionshead Master Plan that is still being developed. If the plan were ~ to build behind the structure or even on top with the parking and entrance on Frontage Koad, there would bt uu bucu uujCL«,,:.. other hand, to take a small piece of open space and fill it with additional " construction is not acceptable.

That was supposed to be the goal of the Lionshead Master Plan. While we strongly suppnrt affordable employee housing within the Town limits, we object to a plan that downgrades the appearance and atmasphere of Lionshead. C„u,cruction should be done with an eye to I keeping Vail attractive; not making it less so. Vail would not exist in its r,urrent state and be rated une of the premier resorts in the world were it not for the substantial investment we condomin;-- awvers make. By rnaintaining or up,grading our properties, we have helped to make Vail the ,up Lated ski area in the United States. Although condominium owners are only part*time residents, the Town of Vail would not be in the strong . financial position it is were it not-for the desirable rental properties that attract tourists who are able to afford what Vail offers. To undertake a project that is detrimental to property values, ambiance and the feeling of being in a mountain town, is certainly a move in the wrong direction. is idea makes Lionshead less appealing and does not make sense to us and to many others. I would be happy to discuss this further or to enter into further dialogue as to what would make sense but I fiimly believe that this.idea does not. While I hope that other ideas are possible, please know that I have advised the manager of our building that we will support litigation to enforce the local zoning rules. Please try to come up with an alternative, even if the parking structure is involved, which does not detract from Lionshead and our properties. We need to work together, within the intent and spirit of the law, to come up with solutions that will solve this problem. Very truly yours, Robert J.

Drafted by the consulting firm Design Workshop, the draft plan contains a series of policies and design principles that have been discussed extensively throughout the process, including view corridors, future land uses, pedestrian corridors, traffic circulation, building height, densities, architectural design guidelines, build-to lines, building step-back parameters and other development standards. During a work session yesterday (10-6), the Vail Town Council approved a month-long public review schedule to complete the project: The schedule will provide opportunities for the public, Town Council, Planning and Environmenta! Commission and Design Review Board to review and comment on the plan during October and November. Final consideration of the plan by the Town Council is tentatively scheduled to take place at the Nov. 17 evening meeting. This would follow a public hearing on the draft during the Nov. 3 evening Council meeting. Meanwhile; three distribution outlets have been created to give citizens easy access to the draft document. Beginning Oct. 21, copies will be available for pick up at the Vail Public Library and the Vail Municipal Building. Copies also will be mailed upon request. In addition, a text of the draft plan will be posted on the Town of Vail Web Site (www.vail.neUtov) beginning Oct. 21 (more) ~4M, RECYCLEDPAPER a .

The public review process will also feature an overview of the draft presented by Ethan Moore of Design Workshop from 5:15 to 7 p.m. Oct. 22 in the community room at the Vail Public Library. Anyone who wishes to learn more about development of the master plan is encouraged to attend. The presentation will include a question and answer session from the audience. It will be videotaped by Channel 5 and rebroadcast on the local access television station. Key components of the draft Lionshead Master Plan include: • A maximum building height of 82.5 ft. and an average height of 71 ft. for Lionshead's core area • Five protected public view corridors • Improved public corridors and plazas • Development standards to control density, square footage, as well as identification of build-to lines and specific step-back parameters • Density incentives for development of hotel units and fractional fee units • Design review standards to ensure compatibility with the overall vision for Lionshead's redevelopment • Carrying capacity analysis Citizen comments on the draft may be forwarded to the Vail Town Council in various forms: in person at the Nov. 3 public hearing; by letter to the Town of Vail offices, 75 S.

Once approved, the Lionshead Master Plan will serve as a framework for decision-making on specific development and redevelopment proposals within the 154-acre Lionshead study area. An interest by Vail Associates to redevelop the former gondola building and the adjacent Sunbird Lodge, known as the "core site," had served as a catalyst in the Town Council's decision to move forward with a master plan for the Lionshead area. Since then, the Antler's at Vail, Marriott, and Montaneros have indicated interest in redevelopment opportunities.

In voting to uphold the PEC decision, the five Councilmembers found the proposed development plan was a substantial departure from a development plan approved by the FEC earlier this year due to an increase in site coverage, which Councilmembers said would have the potential to cause a detrimental effect to the site and surrounding uses. The applicant, Greg Amsden, had sought approval to construct two single family units plus one _ duplex structure (4 dwelling units) on the. property, while the previously approved development plan had proposed the construction of one multi-family structure with six dwelling units. For more information, contact Dominic Mauriello in the Community Development Department at 479-2148. --Update of Checkpoint Charlie Upgrades Nancy Sweeney, administrator of the town's Art in Public Places (AIPP) program, provided an update on AIPP's involvement in a temporary upgrade at "Checkpoint Charlie," the booth used to monitor vehicle access to Vail Village at the intersection of Vail Valley Dr. and Willow Rd. near the Lodge at Vail. AIPP held a local competition that attracted proposals from four artists, according to Sweeney. The winning design proposes a decorative finish with a Swiss architecture theme, including bi-fold shutters. The proposal will be presented to the Design Review Board this week for final approval. If approved, the work will begin in two weeks. Eventually, Sweeney said the town intends to replace Checkpoint Charlie with a new structure.

Town Manager Bob McLaurin presented an overview of the budgeting process for the 1999- 2000 biennial budget and described a different approach than what's been done in the past. Rather than hammer out a balanced budget with department directors behind the scenes, the Council will play a hands-on role in reviewing the full budget requests from departments before any significant decisions are made. As it stands currently, operational requests for 1999 are ° $400,000 more than projected revenues for the year. And a 10-year financial projection for the town's general fund, developed by McLaurin and Finance Director Steve Thompson, shows a continued pattern of sluggish revenues unable to meet growing expenses. The problem is exacerbated in the year 2001 when operating costs for a new West Vail fire station are inc(uded in the model. While not an immediate crisis, McLaurin said the problem, described as a"worst- case scenario," must be dealt with now so as not to jeopardize the town's future financial health. McLaurin cited two factors which have contributed to the increase in operating costs: 1) the valley's labor shortage which has caused wages to increase; and 2) service level increases caused by the addition of more bike paths, additional landscaping areas, more street lights, additional bus routes, etc. McLaurin offered two alternative strategies for dealing with the issue: reducing operating costs and/or increasing revenues. Councilmembers expressed interest in exploring both strategies. Those discussions will begin next Tuesday at 9 a.m. during a Council budget workshop. Councilman Bob Armour was first to offer comments yesterday. Sooner or later, he said the town will have to consider an increase in its property taxes to maintain the character and quality of the town. Armour suggested exploring the possibility of a tax increase to fund a West Vail fire station and a replacement station for the Main Vail fire station. He also cited the impact of the Council's affordable housing initiative and the "Park Free After 3" program on the budget. Armour said he couldn't support a reallocation of the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) for expanded uses. However, a reallocation of a portion of the capital projects fund into the general operating fund could have some merit, he said. Councilmember Sybill Navas said she feared a reduction in service levels would have a negative impact on sales tax collections. She also said she would be opposed to using any of the town's fund balances for general operating support. Putting the Vail library on its own mill levy also was suggested as a possibility, as well as soliciting private sector bids for selected TOV services. Councilman Michael Jewetf suggested expanding the town's 5-year capital improvements plan to a 10-year model. He also expressed surprise that a$5 million West Vail fire station had been added to the capital improvements list, rather than a two-station scenario discussed in July. In addition, Jewett said he would be opposed to any form of tax increase. Councilman Kevin Foley suggested a review of departmental spending for the past three years to identify which services are growing. Councilman Ludwig Kurz said he would prefer a focus on increasing efficiencies rather than service reductions. Kurz also said it may be time to look at a potential mill levy increase, as well as exploring an expanded use of the Real Estate Transfer Tax. In addition to driving down the cost of doing business, Councilman Michael Arnett said he favored exploring new revenue sources, including a mechanism to claim sales taxes from enterprises on Vail Mountain. Arnett's suggestion was echoed by comments from Foley and Kurz. For more a copy of McLaurin's presentation materials released yesterday, call 479-2115. --Council Reports Kevin Foley said the next Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority meeting would be held in Basalt. Ludwig Kurz announced that the Vail Valley Arts Council has a new president. (more) ~ ~ Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/10-6-98 Sybill Navas said the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments has hired a new executive director who specializes in facilitation and advocacy. Also, Navas said grassroots discussions have been resurrected regarding Vail's community facilities needs. Bob Armour attended a Vail 99 Celebration Committee.meeting. He said the events and venues are coming together nicely. --Other . • Michael Arnett said he enjoyed Friday's Seibert Circle street party. He complimented those who helped to organize it. Upon hearing that the town will not be able to initiate construction of new housing at the A-frame site on Arosa Dr. this fall (and will rent the housing for another season), Bob Armour suggested the town check on the building's pipes in case they've been drained. Sybill Navas asked for help from the Vail 99 Organizing Committee to incorporate dedication of a sister cities sculpture from Mt. Buller within the championship's schedule of events. Bob Armour inquired about the status of a letter he'd suggested regarding the town's position on use of the Eagle County landfill for dumping construction waste hauled in by businesses from outside Eagle County. Michael Jewett asked to receive a drawing of the proposed I-70 Main Vail roundabout bypass leg. The town is currently awaiting approval from the Federal Highway Administration. Jewett also asked for a break-out of costs associated with Common Ground and Vail Tomorrow, and asked that copies of presentation materials from the site visit at the Vail Valley Tourism & Convention Bureau offices be made available for the public at the evening meeting. In addition, Jewett asked that an approach be established by the town that would enable public disclosure of executive sessions to be more descriptive to prevent public officials from straying from the subject. He also asked for consideration of a process to disclose details of negotiations and other executive session-type discussions, such as land purchases, once the proprietary nature of the discussions is no longer needed. Jewett said this would create an ability for the town to be more up-front with the public. Kevin Foley inquired about the status of the East Vail chain-up station lights (they're undergoing a 10-day test period), the status of the horse stables (owner is negotiating to sell the franchise) and shared positive feedback he's had regarding the town's community newsletter. He also noted that a guardrail requested by Michael Jewett on behalf of a constituent had been installed along the Frontage Road by the Cascade Club. However, Michael Jewett said the guardrail had been installed in the wrong place. Jewett asked the town to send a letter to the Colorado Department of Transportation encouraging CDOT to authorize widening the shoulder of the road near the "Ruins" so the guardrail can be extended to prevent cars from sliding off into the creek. In reference to concerns expressed by Diana Donovan about the town's interest in selling its Ptarmigan property acquired through the recent land exchange with the U.S. Forest Service, Kevin Foley said he supports the town's position. The town is attempting to sell development rights on the property to adjacent property owners, which in turn would be conveyed to the Eagle Valley Land Trust to protect the property as open space.

Commissioner, introduced himself to the Council and the television audience. In response to a question posed by Councilman Michael Jewett, Stone identified housing as one of the top issues of the three-way race. Stone said he supports creating reasonable opportunities for people to pwn a home in Eagle County. --Supplemental Appropriation The Council voted 7-0 on second reading to approve an ordinance supplementing the 1998 budget by $2 million. The appropriation represents projects previously approved by Council (but not yet funded) and expenditures reimbursed by other agencies, such as the Dotsero-to-Vail bus route. For more information, contact Finance Director Steve Thompson at 479-2116. --Mayoral Proclamation: Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10 The Council voted 7-0 to approve a mayoral proclamation in recognition of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10. Vail Fire Chief Dick Duran said the national recognition originated from the Chicago fire of 1871. His staff has been presenting fire prevention programs in the local schools all week. --Discussion of Vail First Request: Business License Fee , After hearing testimony on both sides of the issue, the Council voted 4-3 (Navas, Armour, Kurz) to table a decision on a request by the Vail 1 st merchant group to redirect most of the town's $300,000 annual business license fee collections away from regional summer marketing and used instead for a Vail-focused marketing campaign. The 1999 budget request was tabled after most Councilmembers agreed that efforts should be made to try to accommodate funding requests from both groups--the Vail Valley Marketing Board and Vail 1 st--with a"win-win" decision made no later than Nov. 1. After reviewing the requests, Councilman Michael Arnett said the shortfall between the two requests is about $126,000. Given the town's projected budget shortfall, however (see work session briefs), Councilman Bob Armour expressed concerns about finding additional funds to support the two efforts. Armour also expressed . concern that merchants in West Vail might not benefit from the Vail 1 st proposal. But Mayor Rob Ford and Councilmembers Kevin Foley, Michael Jewett and Michael Arnett voted to table the issue to allow time for additional compromises to be reached between the two groups. Councilmembers Ludwig Kurz and Sybill Navas each stressed the successful track record of the 10-year-old regional marketing program and expressed concerns that a fragmentation of the program would have negative consequences for future summer business in Vail. Earlier in the evening, the Council heard from 11 citizens, including Vail Valley Marketing Board Chairman Ross Boyle, who said a reduction in funding by Vail would trigger fair share reductions by the other funding partners, eventually putting the voluntary board out of business. Boyle asked for funding support from the Town of Vail for two more years while the group works on a campaign to approve a 1.5 percent lodging tax from Vail to Edwards to be used for regional marketing. Those speaking in support of the Vail 1 st proposal yesterday, including merchants Jonathan Staufer (who also spoke on behalf of his father, Joe) and Steve Rosenthal, said they fully support regional marketing, but not with Vail business license fees. The two urged the _ Marketing Board to collect contributions from Edwards, in particular, for increased equity.

RECFIIIF~ OCT 9 P.~.. 19% ANTLER AT NIL October 8, 1998 Vail Town Council Friends, I know you're probably tired of hearing about the business license fee and the marketing fund, and I am sure that you know my point of view, but there are just a couple of additional points I'd like to make. 1. Some opponents of the status quo have represented that the business license fee was originally just meant to market Vail, not "down-valley". That's hogwash. I was heavily involved in getting the program put in place initially, and I know for a fact that the original intent was "regional cooperation". For goodness sake, there were two representatives appointed by the Avon Town Council on the original marketing board! If that doesn't indicate the true intention of the program, I don't know what does. 2. The Town and the Marketing Board have bent over backwards to accommodate and compromise with Vail First. In the three years since they started asking for "their" $300,000 back the council has started to fund the Turn It Up program, and the merchants Guide. The marketing board has included representation from both merchants' associations to insure that they have a say in how "their" money is spent. The funding for special events has grown and through the special events commission, a significant amount has been funneled back to the Vail Village Merchants Association (disproportionately more so than to the Lionshead group, but that's another matter). All of these efforts have brought us to the point where the $300,000 needed is down to roughlv $150,000. Seems to me that's a pretty fair compromise, but is it enough for the Vaii First group? No, they want it all. 3. Kay Ferry has repeatedly accused the council of "making promises" over the past three years when she has demanded the redirection of the business license fee. She claims that her group was somehow promised changes in the future, based on some sort of perFormance criteria. I attended most, if not all, of those meetings. The council has never assured her that there would be anv changes in the future. The most that could be said is that the council agreed to listen to her/their wishes again the following year. Fine that's happened (as if there were an alternative). Just because someone has the tenacity to continue asking for something, doesn't make that something any more worthy. I am reminded of Douglas Bruce and TABOR. He tried to get it passed, but failed three times before the political atmosphere was just right for it in 1991. Now we're stuck with it. It would seem that un-doing these regretful decisions is somehow harder than making them in the first place. Please don't let that happen in this case. 680 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 81657 (970) 476-2471 Fax (970) 476-4146 antlers@csn.net 4. Lastly and most importantly, there's really only one issue that matters. Even if Vail First were to spend the entire business license fee bringing people to our town (although that's not their intention), which one benefits the Town of Vail more a million dollars spent marketing "Vail Valley" or $500,000 spent marketing "Vail"? Anyone who thinks that we're better off with the latter is nuts. Thanks again for your time, your consideration and above all your patience. We probably don't say it often enough, but believe me, we really do appreciate your efforts. Regards, ad.

Denver, Co. 80235 e-mail-JDSch2@aol.com Rob Ford, Mayor October 6, 1998 Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Rd. - Vail, Co. 81657 - - Dear Rob: I am writing to encourage the participation of Vail in the funding needs of the Colorado Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution (CARTS) for the balance of 1998 and in setting your budget for 1999. This organization is the creation of you and your fellow municipalities along and near the I-70 corridor. You have succeeded in getting the state legislature to validate the need for an agency to develop the technical criteria and planning for a fixed guideway solution to the growing transportation problems from the metro area to the mountains. CARTS remains a critical need if a consensus is to be built that such a solution can be user friendly and economically viable. We hope to be the educational group that can provide answers to concerns about the social, technical, environmental, and funding questions of the public. Everyone agrees that highway improvements need to be made in the near term, but that adding additional lanes of pavement as a long term solution is unacceptable. Your community will be impacted if we can not make the case for a rapid transit answer to the long term problem. The Colorado Intertnountain Fixed Guideway Authority (CIFGA) which was created by the legislature wil.l only look at counties for its funding while we are expected to receive our funding from municipalities. I am enclosing the past year's contributions to CARTS, the Mission Statement and Goals recently approved by the board of directors, and the reasons for membership. I ask that vou look carefully at these and contribute as soon as possible to continue our efforts. Please call me with any questions or if you would like me to make a presentation to your town council. Sincerely, Jim Scherer ' F.xecutive Director 1 ~ w Mission Statement and Goals for the Corridor Alliance for a Rapid Transit Solution Mission Statement CARTS and its members are committed to address public concerns and to be a communications link between the general public and transportation, funding, legislative and administration officials to assure implementation of the Cotorado , Department of Transportation MIS recommendations for the I-70 corridor.

Frontage Road Vail, CO 81657 Dear Mayor Ford and Council Members: Several years ago my son and I were invited to a round table discussion sponsored by the Town of Vail as to how to enhance the pedestrian link between Vail Village and Lionshead. Many initiatives were discussed including additional landscaping to benefit the pedestrian experience and create more of a visual link between the Village and Lionshead. Therefore, it was with great surprise that I learned of the proposed employee housing type of development being proposed for the area which is presently green space on the south side of the Lionshead parking structure. As a property owner in Vail Village and Lionshead, I find this to be a most inappropriate use of this site. I urge you to observe the large number of visitors who do walk between Lionshead the library, ice arena, and Vail Village. Surely by having a wall of development is not going to enhance their Vail Experience. I urge you to consider other options including the area east of the parking structure or on top on the existing building. Yours truly, Dictated by Glen E. Wood and Sent in his absence to avoid delay Glen E.

Elizabeth St Bldg. 12, Unit 12 Denver, CO 80210 Vail, CO 81657 October 9, 1998 - Vail Town Council Members . 75 South Frontage Road West Vail, CO 81657 Dear Council Members: [k?e are wri:ting regarding issues related to the 'employee/affordable . housing controversy. Especially in Vail, where space is limited - by the natural lay of the land, open space is a vital and important asset to hold onto and preserve, for aesthetic as well as financial reasons. It is why we live in Vail and why tourists comE here. It is w'ny people will continue to come to Vail, unless we spoil it. To diminish and/or give up open space for affordable or employee or any other kind of housing is regrettable if not painful to contemplate. The consequences of such a decision are permanent and detract from and directly cut into what people come to Vail for - the beauty of the land and environment. Secondly we feel that neither taxpayers' funds nor publicly owned lands should be used to build housing for any reason; more specifically they should not be used to solve employee housing problems. Perhaps employers and employees should be encouraged to work this out. Our understanding is that in Aspen employers must provide housing for their employees. The town of Telluride lost nearly $100,000 in unpaid rent for their employee housing units at the end of last ski season. It seems an unwise and poor financial investment for the Town of Vail to put our taxpayer dollars into. Some other solutions to the housing problems might include: 1) use of privately owned land and private funds for housing, 2) higher salaries to employees in order that they can provide for their housing, 3) expansion of and/-or improvements to existing bus routes to allow for better commuting from areas or towns outside of Vail. In summary, we strongly request that you do not vote to give up existing open space, common ground, or public funds for housing. Sincerely yours,r Elizabeth & Johri Betts ~ RECEIVFD OCT 1 ~ 19% 7 c~ BETTE F. STEIN Shepardslane ~ Sands Point, New York 11050 October 1, 1998 Town of Vail - Department of Community Developmerit . 75 South Frontage Road Vail, Colorado 81657 Attn: Andy Knudsen Senior Housing Policy Planner Dear Sir: I just received notice that you are planning to put some housing across from my condo unit, The Lodge at Vail, Phase 3, Unit #8. , This whole area is an extremely busy area. I object strenuously to any housing you might be proposing on top of the garage area north of our unit. Yes, I do understand that it is very necessary for the Town of Vail to provide housing for the working force that is and does maintain Vail and all of its properties. There are many many open spaces available within a ten-mile radius of Vail that would be far more suitable than one directly opposite our housing. We have paid a great deal of money for our unit, and by putting housing across the street, you will be lowering the value of our real estate. I agree that some people are going as far as fifty miles a day to work in Vail but, certainly, they can drive ten miles a day, and there should be many sites where you can put this kind of housing up. It does not have to be in the center of the Village of Lionshead where it will 'depress all real estate for those of us who have spent a great deal of money on our units. Since I only use my condo in the winter and some parts of the summer, I will not be able to be at one of your meetings, but this letter will serve as my objection to the site across from The Lodge at Lionshead. Very truly yours, Litt) / . Bette F. Stein BFS:Emk Cc: Jeff Bailey, The Lodge at Lionshead Mayor - Town of Vail I`
