Eagle County is charging approximately four times less than Pitkin County for this material, and in turn the waste coming from Pitkin county is causing our landfill space to shrink at an accelerated rate that was not anticipated when the landfill was designed. We feel that this is unacceptable and immediate action must be taken to extend the life of our existing landfill. The Town of Vail strongly urges Eagle County to raise the tipping fees for all out of county construction and demolition material. If fees are not raised, the taxpayers of Eagle County will be stuck paying the bill for construction of a new landfill. We do realize that determining where a waste truck comes from may be difficult. If this is an issue that the County is concerned about, than we would also support raising tipping fees for all construction and demolition materiai regardless of what county it originated in. VVe would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter and keeping us informed of plans to address this issue. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, 4Roberrt E.

McLaurin, Town Manager DATE: October 22, 1998 RE: Budget Work Session - October 27, 1998 We have scheduled four hours to discuss the 1999 TOV budget. We expect to spend the first 45 minutes concluding our discussion about compensation for FY 1999. We will also be discussing the capital projects, RETT and housing budgets. Finally, we will need to determine how you wish to proceed with the general fund operating budget. If this discussion does not take the full four hours we will adjourn to lunch early. Please feel free to call me over the weekend if you have questions or need additional information regarding the budget. RWM/aw L~~ RECYCLED PAPER MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FR: Bob McLaurin DT: October 21, 1998 RE: 1998 Budget Attached to this memorandum are the budgets for Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) and the Housing Funds. We included all budget information from the last meeting. General Fund Operating Budget When we last discussed the General Fund Budget, there was a deficit of $328,000 and a projected fund balance of $5.3 million. During this discussion, some Council members were uncomfortable with the deficit. There was also some discussion about the Town Manager identifying cuts to reduce this deficit. We also discussed asking Department Heads to identify cuts in their respective departments. Upon further reflection, I have made a decision to recommend approval of the 1999 budget as it is currently prepared including a revenue deficit of $328.000. If a 6% merit is approved, this amount will be reduced. I believe our General Fund Balance ($5.3 million) is adequate to absorb this for one year. Additionally, of the $328,000 deficit, $237,000 is for one-time expenditures, leaving $91,000 to fund on going operations. Capital Projects Fund The Five Year Capital Projects budget funds a major street project every other year. It also funds the design of a new fire station, and the construction of a new two company station in the year 2000. Other projects funded in this budget include the lease payment for the new radio system, and the purchase of a PBX switch for the TOV telephone system. Finally I have included money for the purchase of undesignated land for the housing program. RETT Budget In the 1999 budget we increased the funding for parks, paths and landscape maintenance. We will be using RETT funds to pay for the maintenance of the TOV flower program. Additionally, I have funded the construction of a park in West Vail and an upgrade of the Bufferh Creek Park. Housing Budget The Housing budget shows revenues from the various housing projects, as well as a $30,000 transfer from the General Fund Operating Budget. 1999 expenditures include funds for the West Vail Housing Project, buy downs ($100,000), and maintenance on existing housing projects. Fiscal Year 2000 Budget As we have discussed, we must correct the structural financial problems in the 2000 budget. Not to do so would seriously undermine our financial health. I believe we need approximately one million dollars annually to correct this problem. At this time it is my feeling we need to look to increase general fund revenues by $750,000; and to reduce general fund expenditures by $250,000. It is my intention to begin the process of identifying the required cuts and new revenues in March 1999. This would give us time to give this issue thoughtful consideration and to make these changes in the least impactful manner.

' - ~ 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 vour 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 agencv to develop the technical critena and planning for a fixed guideway solution to the growing transportation probiems 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, environmentat, 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. Yow community will be impacted if we can not make the case for a rapid transit ansNver to the long term problem. 7he Colorado Intermountain Fixed Guideway Authority (CIFGA) which was created by the }evisiature will only look at counties for its funding while we are expected to receive our fundine 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 presentaiion to your tow-n council.

Purpose The purpose of this worksession is to obtain the Town Council's input on projeds that should be included in the 1999 & 2000 work-ptan and budget for Community Development. Attached is a summary of projects that over the course of the last year either have been identified by Council, 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 plan and community 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 to review the projects and determine what projects you feel should be addressed and which ones should not. For those actions that you feeJ should be included in the Community Development work plan, please indicate whether you feel it is a high, medium, or low priority. As a point of reference, Community Developmeni can comfortably manage 2 major community projects at a time (i.e., Common Ground, Lionshead). Each Senior Planner can effectively handle 9 long-range projer.i at a time (i.e. Austria House, GRFA code revision) along with a full case-load of development review projects. We currentJy 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 identffjed by the public as part of the recent common ground discussions would be very helpful. C~ RECYCLEDPAPER u The attached Iist includes space to mark whether you feel an action is a priority for action. At the Tuesday worksession, staff will briefly review each project in a4.ower point presentation. Staff will then ask Council to identify high priority actions. 3. Recommendations On September 28, 1998 the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed the DepartmenYs 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) • Complete Solid Waste Plan • Update Design Guidelines after Lionshead Master Plan is complete • Evaluate covering I-70 and identify mitigation for interstate noise and air quality impac#s The Community Development staff fully supports the Town Managers Budget, which proposes funding for an economic development plan and a community facility plan vyithin the Planning Division. We feel thess to be the most critical planning needs that need funding at this time. The Manager's budget also funds the first tier actions for Common 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 advanta e of Tax Increment Financin . Design Guidelines Rework/overhaul of the general design ($30,000) guidelines which affect properties Town wide. This has been budgeted for several years and pushed-back due to other Council riorities. 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 (Couldbe done with parking requirements are based upon a technical urban area models which do not take into assistance grant account mass transit, pedestrianization, from NWCCOG) 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 a consistent and reliable process. 1 Y Communit Develo ment Pro'ects Project/ Description Yes/No Priority: High, Estimated Cost Medium, Low DRIP-Standards Completion and adoption of DRIP standards phase 7.

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. This is a planning tool that is needed for annexations. Community Facility Through the Common Ground process, Design the community identified the RV parking ($40,000-Currenfly area and the Golf Course Club house as Budgeted) possible sites for community facilities. A list of community needs has been identified. A design charete/brain storming process wili occur in early November. Staff recommends developing a number of alternative preliminary designs for the civic center site in Lionshead after the November charete is complete. 2 .

Land Use Plan The Land Use Plan was adopted in 1986. This plan contains many policies which ($50,000-$75,000) the Zoning Regulations reference when reviewing development projects. These policies may or may not reflect current thinking by the Town Council. Additionally, the Land Use Map identifies areas inconsistently with the current zoning (i.e., the Valley is shown as all open space). The plan needs to be updated to reflect current conditions. , : :PF ; >:>;::;:::::::~?~:.Mt~d... _C~tt~i~~. ~~rE~...~... _ ~ Ski Storage Define commercial ski storage and Definitions basement area in order to clarify re ulation.

A: In the early morning hours on Monday, October 19, 1998. - Q: What was affected by fire damage? , A: The fires damaged three buildings and the tops of four lifts. Two Elk Restaurant, Patrol Headquarters (PHQ) and Camp Orie Shelter all were lost in the fires. To replace these facilities, Vail Resorts has already ordered temporary structures, including yurts (round, tent-like structures), a 6,000 square- foot tent-like building which will seat 400 at the Two Elk site, and several modular buildings. All of the services reqularly available at each /ocation ji.e, food service, ski patro/ service, restrooms, etc.) will be availab/e this season. The Mountain Top Express Lift (#4), the Northwoods Express Lift (#11) and the Sourdough Lift (#14) all sustained minor damage, and will be ful/y operational by the time they wou/d normally be oQen. The High Noon Lift (#5), which will require more work to repair, will be operational before Christmas. Meanwhile, as soon as we have adequate snow, more than 2,000 of bow/ skiing wil/ be availab/e in Sun Up, Tea Cup, China, Siberia, Inner Monqolia and Outer Mongolia bow/s via the Sun U,p Lift (#17J and the Orient Express Lift (#21) which were unaffected, Only Sun Down Bowl will be affected and only for a very short period of time prior to the holidays. Q: Will Vail Mountain's opening date be pushed back because of the fires? A: No. The Mountain will open as scheduled on November 6 with no impact on the opening day guest experience. Q: How will this affect the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships? A: It won't. The race courses are more than two miles from the areas that were affected, and all of the lifts will be operating and all of the temporary facilities will be in place long before the Championships begin on January 30. I Ludi Kurfz - Faq.doc Page 2 ` Q: Were there any injuries? A: None of the structures were occupied at the time of the fires and the only injury was to a firefighter who suffered a minor knee injury during fire suppression efforts. Q: Were the trees on Vail Mountain burned in the fires? A: No. Only the buildings and lift shacks mentioned above were damaged-nothing else was involved in the fire. Q: Will the dining experience on Vail Mountain be negatively impacted by the fires? A. The onlv change will be in the type of dining availab/e at the Two E/k location. Vail Mountain has 17 other restaurants, and the resort is designed so that the dozens of restaurants in Vail Village, Lionshead are easily accessible from the mountain for lunch. We will have temporary facilities at the Two Elk and PHQ locations. Two Elk will be replaced by several modular buildings housing kitchen facilities and restrooms as well as an enormous tent-like structure that will seat 400 for lunch. The limited indoor seating that was available at PHQ will be replaced by a round, domed tent called a yurt. Q: Will Ski Patrol still be able to service the mountain without its headquarters? A: Yes! In fact, not only are the Ski Patrol facilities at PHQ being replaced with a modular building, but we're adding another Ski Patrol post at Wildwood which will allow even better service to the Wildwood Express, Game Creek Bowl and Avanti Express areas than ever before. Q: What caused the fires? A: As of Friday, Octaber 23, the authorities investigating the fires had determined the cause of the fires to have been arson. SECURITY: Ludi Kurtz - Faq.doc Page 3 ~ Q: Has Vail Associates increased security precautions in the wake of the fires? A: Even though authorities believe the fires are an isolated instance, Vail Associates has increased security as a precaution. We had already developed an extensive security plan, customized for Vail, for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships in February, and we have been able to extend that plan to begin now. Without going into detail, we have enlisted the support of some of the most' . experienced security professionals, and we have put into place a plan that provides increased security for the guests and facilities of Vail Mountain without impacting the fun atmosphere or the incredible natural environment tha# our guests so dearly enjoy. Q: How do you know that my family will be safe at Vail this winter? A: Even though authorities believe the fires are an isolated instance, Vail Associates has increased security as a precaution. We had already developed an extensive security plan, customized for Vail, for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships in February, and we have been able to extend that plan to begin now. Without going into detail, we have enlisted the support of some of the most experienced security professiona(s, and we have put into place a plan that provides increased security for the guests and facilities of Vail Mountain without impacting the fun, family atmosphere or the incredible natural environment that our guests so dearly enjoy. Q: Has media coverage of the fires affected bookings for this coming ski season? A: No. RUMORS: Q: Is it true that explosives were used to set the fires and that the Ski Patrol's cache of avalanche-control explosives were broken into? ~x A: The origin of the fires has not been determined. The avalanche-control explosives cache on Vail Mountain was not broken into. Ludi Kurtz - Faq.doc Rage 4 ~ Q: I heard that Eagle's Nest and the Gondola were involved in the fires. Is that true? A: No. The media reported that inaccurately on Monday morning. The nearest fire was miles away from Eagle's Nest and the Eagle Bahn Gondola. Q: I heard that there was a bomb or something at Mid-Vail but it didn't go off. Is that true? A: No. There was no attempt to damage Mid-Vail, and there was no bomb. Q: I heard that the Back Bowls won't be open all season. Is that true? A: No. More than 2,000 acres of bowl skiing will be available in Sun Down, Tea Cup, China, Siberia, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia Bowls via the Sun Up Lift (#17) and the Orient Express Lift (#21 ) as soon as adequate snow is available. Only Sun Down Bowl, which is serviced by the High Noon Lift (#5) will be delayed, and it will be open before Christmas. CATEGORY III: Q: I heard that Vail plans to clear cut 885 acres in Category III. Is that true? A: No. The total skiable terrain in Category III will be 885 acres. This includes terrain that is naturally free of trees, terrain that will be left as "gladed," tree-skiing, terrain where the trees will be thinned, and terrain where trees will be removed to create runs or lift lines. OTHER: Q: Has the incident had any effect on Vail Resorts stock prices?. A: So far there has been no adverse impact that can be attributed to the fires. The company's stock closed up 1.5 points as of close of trading on Tuesday, Oct. 20.

Subject: Common Ground: Next Steps Date: October 22,1998 . . pver the past tvvo weelcs, staff has comgleted the neighborhood bus tours and design sessions for the first two sites of the Cammon Grcound pla.n - the West Vail sitte and the Lionshead parkin$ structure site. The purpose of this memo is to briefly summatize the response and to discuas the remaining schedule. Generally speakimg, there coirtinues to be a large segment from the West vail area that . fundamesrtally disagrees with the dual goal of park and housing for the site and would like to see "mo density." However, there were some participants who believe the two uses can vr?ark and/or requested "additional information" about the site's development potential. With this in mind, there wil.l be three different designs presented for a community open house during the first week of November. Conceming the Lioashead site, there was a smaller tucnout and Farticipants focused on design and programming issues_ At this time, there does not appear to be fundamental disagreement from those that attended regarding the Town's housing gaals or the site selection - with the caveat that there be high quality solutions for axchiteeiure, tandscaping, property management, traffic reductioq etc. . The remaining schedule is as follows: . west vau open house Three designs wif l be an display in the Vail Libretry atrium during the week of Navember 2 - 6_ Open hvuse Staff, designers and interested Cou-ocil membexs will be available to answer questions the evening of November S, from 5:00 to ?:00 pm in the Vail i.ibrary community room.

As a property owner at the Lodge at Lionshead, I am greatly concerned that you would even consider building this type of complex in the midst of an area that is so dependent the ability to present itself as a first class area for tourist rentals. The addition of 480 transient people to this quaint area will stress the infrastructure. The additional noise from parties, additional trash, cars parked on the street while people wait for tenants to come out, additional need to enforce parking at the surrounding lodges, the additional traffic flow and congestion will all distract from the image that the property owners have worked so hard to develop. As the old adage goes the three most important things in purchasing real estate are location, location, and location. The addition of subsidized housing to an area can do nothing but depreciate the value of the existing real estate in the proximity. The people that pay the taxes in our community deserve better from their elected officials. It is my understanding that the council is trying to fast track the decision to build this atrocity. I truly do not believe that the council meant for its ability to circumvent the set back requirements and other zaning ordinances on the "Common Ground" to be used for subsidized housing on a piece of property like this particular one. Loak at the space. There is no more room for this type of project an this tiny piece of property than there is between the bus stop and the island at Lionshead. If a private development similar to the one you propose was attempting to build on this site the city council would be fighting it with all its official power. Zoning ordinances and parameters are set far the betterment of the entire community and it is the responsibility of the council to ensure that these ordinances are complied with. This means the city should lead by example and not by special exemption. It is my understanding that if a restaurant or other retail establishment in Lionshead wants ta increase their capacity that the city requires them to provide the city with additional parking. Once again, this project ignores its oum requirements. I ask you to look inside your conscience and tell the community that this is right. When was the last time one of you taured one of the subsidized housing complexes and said I want to live here or by it? How many of you will be living next to this project? It becomes a very easy decision to apprave this project and jam it down other people's throats if it has no effect on you or y4ur property. Believe me, this project will only have a negative effect on the value to the surrounding properiy and as a property owner I truly resent the callous approach the council has used with this project. I find it hard to believe there are no other places in the Vail Valley or Lionshead that would bath better accommodate the type of project you are planning for this "Common Ground" and would not disrupt the surrounding real estate. I have driven down the valley many times and have seen large parcels of land that would be better suited for this type of project. By providing public transportation to a more remote location would solve many problems. I do not buy the arguments that if people move down the valley, they will find jobs down the valley. First of a11 there are na where near enough jobs down the valley. Most of the jobs are in the cities. In addition , people in the subsidized housing are not doing work for the city or whoever is paying the subsidy, then they should not be allowed to stay in the subsidized housing complex. Is there not enough space along the frontage road on the other side of the parking lot where the information turnaround area is. There are no other properties < < that will be adversely effected on the other side of the parking lot. "Common Ground" properties should be for the benefit of the tax payers that support the community and not for a special interest group such as transient employees that have no reason to take care of property. If the master plan has other plans for the property on the other side of the parking structure, then maybe the master plan needs to be redone. I truly recognize the problern the Vail Valley has in finding housing for the "locals". However, forcing a project onto a parcel property of this nature does not seem like an appropriate salution regardless of the location. I truly hope that you will reconsider your decision to convert from a"Common Ground" green space to a multi-story apartment complex. If you have any questions regarding any of the issues I have discussed in this letter, please feel free to contact me at the phone number at the top of this letter. Sincerely, . ~ L.

For the second year in a row, organizers are encouraging neighbors to turn their lights on and sponsor trick or treating activities in their own neighborhood. The effort is an outgrowth of the Vail Tomorrow project where residents have recognized the value of improving Vail's sense of community. In this case, residents in the two neighborhoods are asked to attach an orange party flier to their door--and to leave the porch light on--to signify participation in the trick or treat activities this Saturday (10-31). Neighborhood children will be going door-to-door from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Then, a potluck dinner, games and other activities for kids of all ages will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Shasta Place cul-de-sac. Representatives from the Vail Police Department will be on hand during the event to meet the children and to promote safety tips for trick or treating. As many as 45 children--all under the age of 8--live in the two neighborhoods, according to block party organizers. The Matterhorn and Highland Meadows area is located on the south side of I-70 between Cascade Village and the West Vail roundabout. Families from all Vail neighborhoods are welcome.
