Communiry Development Department Published June 11, 1999 in the Vail Trail 2 MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development DATE: Novernber 5, 1996 SUBJECT: Potential revisions to the Employee Housing regulations, the Primary/Secondary_ - - and Two-Family Zones Districts, and the Nonconforming Use chapter of the " Zoning Regulations. Additionally, the proposed new Affordable Housing zone district. Staff: Dominic Mauriello As part of the Vail Tomorrow and Common Ground processes the community stated that the Town needed to improve its incentives for private developers to create Employee Housing Units (EHUs). Staff has identified some areas of the Zoning Regulations that may need to be modified in order to ensure that the Zoning Regulations are truly "promoting" employee housing rather than acting more as a disincentive. The intent of presenting this is to gauge whether the Town Council agrees that there may be areas that need to be addressed in the code and if staff should work to resolve these issues. The following is a list of what we believe to be disincentives to providing EHUs: • Requiring garage space for an EHU, where code does not require garage space for other dwelling units • Restricting the sale of a Type I EHU and requiring that it be a rental property • Taking away the right to do a 250 on older homes if an EHU GRFA credit is used ~ On smaller lots, not allowing enough site coverage to build the EHU • Not providing GRFA credits for multiple-family EHUs (Type III) • Counting Type III EHUs as an impact on density This memo attempts to identify certain policies that could be modified to promote development of EHUs. Also included is a proposed "Affordable Housing" zone district. Discussion of this proposal is included below, as well as proposed language for such a district. Page 1 of 5 F:~EVERYONE\COUNCIUMEMOS\99\ehuZ.doc TOWNO *YAA , Summary of Potential Zoning.Text Changes Chapter 13, Employee Housing 1. Deed Restrictions/Enforcement This proposal adds a provision requiring that EHUs be rented and not remain vacant for a period of 4 consecutive months. The existing compliance language is being removed so that violations of this chapter can be processed like any oiher zoning violation. The • current compliance statement provides for "publication" of the violation with the Housing . Authority. The proposed language will aid in the enforcement of EHUs by establishing that they must be rented and allowing the Town to cite the owner when they are not meeting these requirements. The current regulations are unclear as to the occupancy requirements. Additionally, the current reporting requirement provides that the owner provide a report of . rental activity. This proposal requires a sworn affidavit from ihe owner. This will aid with the enforcement of EHUs. Deed restrictions are also being added for new Type V/ EHU which are units similar to the Vail Commons units and Red Sandstone, where the appreciation on the unit is capped. 2. Development Standards This proposal includes an amendment to the development standards allowing a Type I EHU (those allowed on lots less ihan 15,000 sq. ft.) which is less than 500 sq. ft. to be detached from ihe main structure if constructed in conjunction with a two car garage. Staff believes this gives flexibility with design on smaller lots without compromising the overall quality of devetopment. 3. Application Procedure This section is proposed to be amended to allow existing dwelling units to be deed _ restricted administratively. Additionally, this section would allow illegal or nonconforming units to be deed restricted as long as they otherwise conform to the Building Code and can meet the Town's parking requirements. This will allow EHUs to be created without going through a lengthy process and helps encourage the legalization of substandard dwelling units/lock-offs. 4. Changes by EHU Type A. Type I(2nd unit allowed on duplex lots less than 15,000 sq. ft.) • Allowed to be sold separately from main residence (currently, both units on lot must be deed restricted to allow sale) • Allowed an additional 500 sq. ft. of GRFA (currently only allowed 250 sq. ft.) • Units allowed to apply for 250s regardless of EHU presence • Site coverage increased 5% and landscape area reduced 5% for lots with an EHU • Removal of age limitations and number of inhabitants • Removal of requirement that 50% of the parking be enclosed Page 2 of 5 F:\E V ERYONE\CO[JNCILUvIEMOS\99\ehu2.doc B. Type II (3Id unit allowed on duplex lots 15,000 sq. ft. A rental unit) • Allowed as a permitted use (currently, requires a conditional use permit) • Units allowed to apply for 250s regardless of EHU presence • Maximum size increased to 1,200 sq. ft. (currently 900 sq. ft. limit) • Removal of age limitations and number of inhabitants (inhabitants regulated by Zoning Regs. and Building Code) • Removal of requirement that 50% of the parking be enclosed C. Type III (rental unit in multiple-family, residential cluster) • Provides a 500 sq: ft. GRFA credit (no credit currently exists) • Parking simplified to meet Chapter 10 requirements, but no less than 2 per unit •Modified to include Type IV EHUs (Type IV category being removed) • Min./Max. sq. ft. modified to allow 300 sq. ft. minimum and 1,200 sq. ft. maximum for dwelling unit or 500 sq. ft. maximum for a dormitory style building • Proposed to not count as density (currently count as 0.5 of a dwelling unit and Type IV as 0.333 of a dwelling unit) • Removal of age limitations and number of inhabitants D. Type IV (multiple family, dormitory) • Eliminated as a category but rolled into Type III • None exist today F. Type V(Hillside Residential - Spraddle Creek) • Removal of requirement that 50% of the parking be enclosed G. Type VI (New Type for projects like Vail Commons and Red Sandstone) • Allowed as permitted use in Single/Two-Family/P/S zone districts, Agriculture and Open Space and conditional use in all other districts • EHUs must be sold separately (they are for sale units, not rental) • Site Coverage, garage area, and GRFA to be determined by the PEC • Density in single/two-family per zoning and determined by PEC in other zone disfricts Chapter 6(C and D) - Primary Secondary and Two-Family Residential Zone Districts Minimum Lot Size Requirement The minimum lot size requirement in the Primary/Secondary and Two-Family Residential Zone districts of 15,000 sq. ft. has an impact on the number of EHUs property owners are willing to develop and an impact on redevelopment and upgrading of these units. The 15,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size requirement dates back to 1973 with the first full-scale re- codification of the Zoning Code (the 1969 Zoning Code required only 10,000 sq. ft. lots). That minimum lot size was applicable to platting occurring mostly in the Vail Village and Vail Valley filings. When the west Vail areas (1986 - 87) and the east Vail (1974) areas were annexed, the Town's zoning was applied to lots platted in Eagle County without regard for the County's lot size requirements of the time. Page 3 of 5 F:\EV E RY ON E\COLJNC I LUME MOS\99\eh u 2. doc , ~ There have only been 20 Type I EHUs created in the Town. Property owners that currently have lots less than 15,000 sq. ft. with a nonconforming second dwelling unit are not allowed to add square footage unless they deed restrict the second unit on the property. Many people are not willing to deed restrict their already existing unit and therefore the EHU is not created and generally speaking the properties are not upgraded. Another problem is that on several of these smaller lots, two units exist on the lot by separate owners. They.face the same deed restriction problem. What are the potential solutions? - 1. Lower the minimum lot size requirement in the Two-Family and Primary/Secondary zone ~districts to a level that includes the majority of lots. This will allow lots to construct 2 dwelling units on a property and a Type II EHU. We believe the result, in the long run, will be more EHUs created. Staff needs to study this option further to understand all potential implications. 2. Keep the minimum lot size requirement, but allow lots to be developed as a single-family home (no change), one dwelling unit plus a Type I EHU (no change), or two dwelling units with a re uired Type II EHU (new). These changes, we believe, will result in a net increase in the number of EHUs and just as importantly, result in redevelopment of older properties. 3. In addition to the above, allow lots with 2 existing units that were legally deeded to separate parties to add allowable square footage without deed restrictions required. This would essentially promote the nonconformity an allow it to continue. By allowing #2 above, the deed restriction dilemma could be resolved by one of the owners providing an EHU, so that - option could help resolve this unique problem. Another solution to this problem could also be utilizing our variance process and allow a variance in these situations and allow residents to expand their homes. This would require acceptance that having two owners of such a property is a hardship warranting the issuance of a variance. Staff believes this to be a viable solution.

Page 4 of 5 F:\EV ERYONE\COLJNCILVv1EMOS\99\ehu2.doc !Affordable Housing Zone District Staff has drafted a framework for a new zone district targeted at employee housing. The proposal would be to establish a zone district that could be applied to properties ensuring that once developed, they remain as employee housing in perpetuity. This could be applied to existing projects (i.e., Red Sandstone) as well as future projects (i.e., Mt. Bell site). The proposed district was modeled after the General Use zone district which lists all uses as conditional uses and requiring the PEC to set the development standards for the project. Therefore, all projects would be subject to review and approval through a Town review process. , _ . The proposed framework is attached. - Page 5 of5 F:\E VERYONE\COUNCILVvIEMOS\99\ehu 2.doc Revised June 3, 1999 CHAPTER 13 EMPLOYEE HOUSING SECTION: 12-13-1: Purpose 12-13-2: Applicability 12-13-3: General Requirements 12-13-4: Requirements by Employee Housing Unit (EHU) Type 12-13-1: Purpose.

Brandmey<,Assistant Town Manager 'DATE: June 11, 1999 RE: UPCOMING JOINT WORK SESSION W/COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (See Work Session Item #9, Executive Session - Negotiations) The County Commissioners have scheduled a joint work session w/you at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday, June 22nd. Although they have not asked for a list of questions to help frame the discussion at this time, staff this morning brain-stormed some issues we believe would provide some enlightening discussion. I have scheduled a ten minute item for this upcoming Tuesday's work session to discuss whether these, along w/others you may wish to add (or some you may wish to delete!), should be forwarded to the Commissioners prior to this joint session. The Town of Vail currently returns to the County annually: , $3.4M = 1 % county sales tax $3.OM = Property tax (less the road and bridge share) $1.9M = 1/2% ECO transportation tax 35% of the 1% county sales tax is (according to County Resolution 81-33) "deposited immediately upon being received or collected into a special fund hereby created entitled the 'County of Eagle, Colorado, Sales Tax Capital Improvement Fund,' which Fund shall be kept separate from the general funds of the County and which Fund shall be used solely to provide capital improvements for the County. Upon deposit of said thirty-five percent (35%) of such Sales Tax proceeds into said Fund, said Sales Tax revenue so deposited shall thereafter not be available to be pledged or expended for any general county purpose." 6~ RECYCLEDPAPER 1) In other words, what projects on the eastern end of the County have been paid for through this 35% collection? 2) What does the TOV get for the above County Sales Tax and Property Tax? 3) ECO generates $19M annually, 10% of which is to be used directly for the county-wide trails system, 90%, for county-wide transportation. Although we recognize the County's contribution to Dowd Junction of $200,000 +$250,000 of ECO dollars, over the past many years we have not seen contributions of this magnitude (e.g., in the 80's the County contributed to such items as the Master Transportation Plan and the aborted 4 wa~ signal . plan - but did not contribute to the West Vail Roundabout, although half of that project is within the County boundaries). 4) The TOV lost almost $100,000 from the Road and Bridge fund when the County mill levy was recalculated. How will the County provide an adjustment for this lost TOV revenue? 5) In re: to the County 1% sales tax that is generated on Vail Mountain, the TOV provides infrastructure and services. The.County does not. Would the County consider allocating a portion of these on-mountain sales revenues to the town? 6) We have been informed the countywide GIS mapping, originally scheduled to proceed from east to west, has now been changed to concentrate on the unincorporated areas of the county, proceeding west to east. Further, direction was given to county staff to not deal w/the municipalities, but again, to focus on the unincorporated areas of the county. This feature is being financed largely by sales tax revenues generated through the municipalities. We would like this process re-directed. The Town of Vail is prepared to begin using the information immediately. It should also be noted that the geographic and permit data bases that the Town maintains are used regularly by the County Assessor's Office to update valuations. 7) When will the 800 megahertz system be complete? Not only has the town already been assessed a fee to produce it, but we continue to pay for its use. This is inequitable and is double billing. 8) Has the County considered calling for and helping to implement a consolidation of fire services to include the current 6 districts? PAB/aw TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 1999 An Overview ofResults,for the Vail Town Council Review Session - June, 1999 iNTaonuc'rIoN For the twelfth consecutive year, the Town of Vail conducted a survey of Town residents and absentee property owners and business owners to evaluate opinions on a variety of issues. RRC Associates was again retained to assist in this effort. The purpose of the survey program was to evaluate respondents' level of satisfaction with respect to a full range of community services, and to gather opinions on selected issues currently facing the Vail community. This year, for the first time, the survey was conducted over the telephone, and it was also made available over the Internet via the Town of Vail's web site. The 1999 surveys were designed to parallel previous surveys in terms of a number of questions related to household demographic profiles, as well as ratings of services and facilities. This year the survey was shortened slightly in order to permit completion of calls over the telephone. A telephone survey was fielded this year in part because of declining response rates to the annual mailback survey. A total of 600 phone interviews were completed over the telephone in the following proportions: 300 interviews with Town of Vail residents, 200 interviews with absentee owners of property (second homeowners), and 100 interviews with business owners or managers. In addition to the telephone survey Program described above, a second survey was conducted this year using the Town's web site. The Internet survey was put in service on April 15, 1999 and over about a seven week period through the first week of June a total of 56 surveys were completed. Although the sample is small it is interesting to note that ratings from the Internet survey are closely paralleling telephone survey responses. RRC Associates has entered the results from both surveys, Telephone and Internet, and transcribed the oren-ended comments for interpretation ancl presentation. A sampling of typical statements from the open-encled comments are provided with this report. A complete summary of a sample of responses to open-ended questions and sets of yuantitative tables, in addition to the Internet survey results, will be provided in separate documents and will be available through the Town of Vail Community Infonnation of'fice on June 15. This report is an overview summary of the results of the 1999 study. Following the Town Council review session, a comple[e report will be presented summarizing the results from the 1999 Community Survey. Tlie results of the Teleplione Survey are presented in two sections. The first section is the "Summary of Results" that liiglilights selected findings from this year's research. In addition, a brief summary of RRC ASSOCIATES ~ TOWN Of VAIL ('OMMUNITY SIiRVEY I9W ' Internet survey results is provided. The second section, titled "Detailed Survey Results" consists of a copy of the original questionnaire with the response frequencies (given in percentages) and average (mean) scores provided where appropriate for each question. The number of responses to questions are also indicated by the symbol "n=" on the survey fonn. Several graphs are provided to summarize the results of ratings questions where appropriate. . SUMMARY OF RESULTS - PROF=ILI: OF RESPONDENTS _ The survey has once again drawn participation from throughout the community. Response rates by sub-area are similar to past surveys although more participants reported living in the West Vail area this year. Not surprisingly, the absentee respondents are somewhat different from residents; they are 'more clustered in neighborhoods with more second homes such as East Vail, Vail Village and Lionshead. West Vail and East Vail are most often identitied as the neighborhoods of residents responding to the survey, as illustrated by the Table below. TABi_E 1 WHERE IS YOUR RESIDENCE WITHIN THE TOWN OF VAIL LOCATED?

However, the overall protile is presented below with percentage responses from residents and absentee owners compared. Note that several demographic questions were deleted from the telephone survey, including the age and income of respondents. In general, response patterns are similar to past years although the survey had more responses from renter households. ln addition, the survey had more responses from persons that are not registered to vote in Vail. Similarly, the lnternet survey reached a segment of the community that is relatively unlikely to be registered to vote with 38 percent reporting they are not registered. These results suggest that there may be opportunities to use the Internet to encourage voter registration and to reach segments of the community that may be otherwise excluded from communications. The telephone and lnternet approach apparently reached a broader cross section of the community than the mailback survey of last year, which was dominated by long-time owners. kkc nssoc•inTEs 2 TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNfTY SURVEY 1999 TnBi.e 2 TOWN OF VAIL RESIDENT AND ABSENTEE PROPERTY OWNER PROFILE OF RESPONDENTS OWNIRENT RESIDENCE 1999 1998 1997 RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE Own 68 99 76 100 66 97 Rent 31 1 23 - 31 3 Other 1 - 1 - 3 - OWNIOPERATE A BUSINESS WITHIN THE TOWN OF VAIL 1999 1998 1997 RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE ' Yes 37 2 33 4 32 4 No 63 98 67 96 68 96 TENURE WITHIN TOWN OF VAIL (OR LENGTH OF TIME OWNED PROPERTY IF NON-RESIDENT) 1999 1998 1997 RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE Less than 1 year 5 1 5 5 6 5 1-5 years 28 18 20 22 25 24 6-15 years 30 33 35 40 34 37 More than 15 years 32 47 41 33 35 34 MARITAL STATUS 1999 1998 1997 RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENTEE RESIDENT ABSENiEE Single, no children 41 6 38 7 40 9 Couple, no children 17 13 22 14 20 13 Household with children 24 46 23 32 26 33 Empty nester 19 36 19 41 14 45 (children no longer at home) THF: TWO BIGGFST ISSUGS FACING TFIE TOWN As in receiit years, the survey contained an "open-ended" question asking respondents the "two biggest issues in order of priority" facing the Town. This is a question that was asked the past two years in iclentical fonnat; this year's results closely resemble last years' findings. Again this year, the dominant issue has been "affordable housing." No other category was mentioned as frequently as the top priority. The results concerning the "Top Issues" this year are portrayed by the graphs below.

These results are very similar to 1998 when growth issues began to dominate the comments of the absentee homeowners. On the following pages verbatim comments are summarized. The lists provide a more complete illustration of the types of comments redetined and they also provide an indication of the pairs of comments that were provided. For example, one respondent identified "Balancing local needs and tourism" as a top priority with "Air pollution-woodburning" as the second priority. A review of the lists suggests the breadth ot=citizen interest and concern. The comments indicate that _ residents and absentee owners alike view housing, growth and open space issues to remain top priorities, ,just as they have been over the past year.

Results from this year's survey again indicate that residents and absentee property owners are generally satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Town and are also satisfied with the attitudes of Town employees. In general, absentee owners are more positive than residents, but both groups are typically positive. As summarized by the foldout graph on rage 2 and 3 of the attached survey summary form, ratings are almost uniformly up this year from last year. Among the categories that were up Sharply were The Art in Public Places Commission, The Design Review Board, Animal Control, Community Development and Police (in general), ancl the Bus Service. Pricing of parking was the most negatively rated category overall, and it slipped somewhat from 1998. The Town Council also received slightly lower marks on the scale where the choices were "gotten worse" "stayed the same" and "gotten better." The survey results suggest that the declines in Town Council ratings may be attributed in part to some differences in responses by geographic response from within the Town. For example, contrasting East Vail responses with West,Vail, 13 percent of East Vail felt Council had "gouen worse" compared to 21 percent of West Vail respondents. Matterhorn and intermountain residents were also relatively negative. The single exception is in the ratings of the Town Council where a slight decline in ratings is evident. "TOO LITTLG" OR "TOO MUCH" ATTGNTION A series of questions asked respondents to indicate whether services/facilities in the Town receive "too little" or "too much" attention. Results indicate that most respondents are satist7ed with the levels of attention being given to services. RRC ASSOCIATI:S - R , TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 1999 ~ Services/Facilities Receiving Too Much or Too Little Expenditure: Resident Comments Services/facilities receiving too much attention • Betty Ford Alpine Gardens receive too much money • Budget for police is extraordinary • Bus receives too much money, town employs too many people in general and spends far too . much • Sanding roads too much • Spending too much on traffic enforcement • Too many locals got ticketed during worlds • Too much administration • Too much art in public places • Too much attention to public works, bus, parking, library • Too much gravel used in snow maintenance • Too much into surveys • Too much on art • Town council "tests" too much • Vail controls town services too much .

Resident respondents. in particular, feel the "sense of community" within the Town of Vail has "gotten worse" over the past several years (43 percent compared to 25 percent of the absentee owners). Interestingly, the responses to the Internet survey showed an identical 43 percent in the "gotten worse" category. THE LOCAL ECONOMY - ' A series of questions addressed opinion concerning whether, "The TOV needs to take action to improve tiie community's economic vitality (retail quality and variety, keeping businesses in Vail) in commercial areas." Results suggest that there is strong support for this direction among residents and absentee owners with 60 percent reporting "yes" and 33 percent "no." About 7 percent are "uncertain." Residents are significantly more likely to support action (65 percent compared to 50 percent of absentee respondents) with about 10 percent of the absentee group having "no opinion." Regarding the importance of various actions, the single most identified action item for local residents was to "expand summer marketing" followed by improve retail quality. THE INTERNET AND COMMUNICATIONS As noted previously, the survey response rates declined this year suggesting that there might be a need to investigate other alternatives ro solicit community input. One of the clear possibilities is the Internet, which has seen tremendous growth over tiie past year. Last year's survey showed that 64 percent of residents hacl access to the Internet; this year the tigure is at 73 percent. Residents access to the Internet now exceeds that of absentee owners (currently 63 percent). Overall, 1999 lnternet access is at 73 percent. IN'1'ERNET UISCUSSION THE IN'I'ERNG"T' SIIRVEY As described above, the Internet Survey was designed to compliment tiie Telephone Survey and to provide a means of encouraging participation from a segment of local residents or absentee owners that may not have been selected to respond to tiie Phone Survey. Because the results from the Internet Survey were based on "self selection" we have not combined them with the random sample that composed the Telephone Survey. However, they do provide an additional source of input and they are rich in comments and suggestions as respondents took advantage of the e-mail capabilities of the lnternet to record detailed written comments. Findings include: • 79 percent of the 58 respondents report a Vail address with 70 percent indicating they are year round residents of Vail. The remaining group are either absentee or business owners. • Among Internet respondents 56 percent completed the survey "at home", 32 percent at work, and 5 percent at tiie library. • The geographic distribution of web survey responses was generally similar to the resident's version of the Telephone Survey with East Vail and West Vail neighborhoods most represented in the responses. RRC ASSOCfATES ~ ~ TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 1999 ~ • Overall, the responses on the Internet Survey closely track with those received through the Telephone Survey. For example, Internet respondents are especially likely to feel that the "sense of community" has "gotten worse" (43 percent) and that the Vail economic vitality "needs to be improved." Similarly, the ratings obtained through the Internet Survey are similar to those obtained through the random telephone technique. In conclusion, we believe that the lnternet represents a viable means of soliciting community input at modest cost. While it should not replace the mail or telephone methods at this time, the Internet can be viewed as an increasingly viable and cost effective method for gathering input. • Finally, one of the benetits of the Internet is the detailed written comments that are . received. The summary below represents a sampling ofi comments from Internet respondents. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR SUGGESTIONS ? Continue to work to build a sense of community as the TOV has done in recent years. Everyone will acknowledge the importance of the resort to our survival, however, it is the nature of the community that keeps people here and will continue to attract families and committed individuals in the future. ? It is the community that gives soul to the place. ? I think the TOV ought to do what municipalities should be doing and not get involved in all the side issues that belong in free market. Like commercial businesses, like housing, like real estate, like redevelopment, etc. I think the current council is way off base. No private business could operate the way they are...why is it ok to do so with taxpayer's money? It is not town government's _job to take care of everyone's tinancial health. Give it up! ? In light of the recent news that TOV tax revenues are down it would only make sense for the town to halt any more plans for building employee-housing units. There appears to be a smug attitude from down valley residents about the Town of Vail and its desire to serve their needs. Mind you they seem_to be proud of what they have in the way of commercial areas but there needs to be a concerted effort made to win over the "down val.ley" crowd and get them back in town for dinner and such. The retail shopping in Vail is not very appealing at this juncture so it is easy to see why folks aren't enthused about staying in town to sliop and dine. Another things 1 have noticed is that the Parking/code enforcement people really do their job with a vengeance; it seems there needs to be a little friendlier attitude towards individuals who need to pick up or drop off children in town. On two occasions I have gotten ticketed at times when there are no people in town and 1 was parked in a loading zone in front of my office. ? The TOV needs to take less responsibility for the welfare of inerchants, etc. in the TOV. The free market will take care of the merchants who can't seem to make it. Let's quit coddling everyone at the tax payers expense. Charge fior parking until the structure is paid for. The housing "problem" should be handled by the private sector totally and should be regarded as a regional issue. I am continually dismayed at how the TOV talks about wanting more locals living within the TOV, but then treats the locals who do live here as secondary citizens. The guy who is "might" come here is always more importan[ than [he guy who "is" here. TOV cloesn't represent the thinking of the RRC ASSOCIATBS 12 s TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 1999 , people who live in the TOV. TOV has its own agenda...rather 1 think it is someone else's agenda being implemented through the TOV. Get rid of Bob McLaurin...he adds nothing to the town. Restore honesty and integrity to TOV. The Common Ground process has destroyed the Town's credibility with its citizens. Vail needs to concentrate. Vail has no after ski gathering place that is big enough for everybody, like Copper's base lodge bar or deck. Trail's End in Lionshead is the closest thing. Both Vail and Lionshead need some kind of "base lodge" type gathering place. - Apres-ski entertainment in Vail is not commensurate with Vail's big reputation. Entertainment and retail could use better town management or support; that is, a committee to offer suggestions to " businesses on how to improve themselves, keep current, and offer more excitement aiid newness.- The town must care about its businesses. How about a suggestion box, electronic or otherwise, so that front rangers or others can make suggestions on entertainment they have seen in Denver that they like; or of shoPs they would like to see; or of inerchandise they would like to see available in Vail. If you really care how Vailites feel, put more issues to a vote and stop wasting your time and ours with hyped up planning devices such as this survey. It is bogus. The council has tackled too much and is doing a very bad job. You are in your own little world patting yourselves on the back, but totally out of touch with the people who live here and care about Vail. You are pawns of certain special interest groups and the rest of Vail is looking for places to move to that are not so money oriented as you've made Vail. ? Please be conservative in additions of convention space when °redoing Lionshead". Do not even think about changing the library!!! ? I feel it is important to not just focus on the one issue of low employee housing. We need to look at the big picture from all sides salaries, benetits, what solutions are there that don't require new buildings? ? Offer more opportunities for people to come into the village. The free evening concerts during the championships drew a lot of people, which brought a lot of business to the merchants. Mix them up so so?ne are in the day and others are in the evenings. Vail First is the most incredibly seltish group I've ever witnessed. Bus service is excellent. Make town web site more visible through marketing. ? I have spent more time out of Vail in the last year and I can't believe all the people who have said . they will not come back because the service and quality was so bad in Vail it is not cheap there so the experience should be great and it is often not. ? Keep up the good work. This type of survey (e-mail) is very user-friendly and is an excellent means of getting broad feedback! ? Loosen Up. Look ro the future, be creative and fun! TOV has lost the energy of where it's at! Think about the "old" days- FAC, Ford lnvitational, No Name Golf Tourney, Mountain Man marathon, even the 4th of July Parade was blah. TOV needs to be proactive in the regional issues - help with the down valley and stop alienating the locals who have worked very hard in giving all they've got to the area, people are fed up with the high costs of being associated with Vail and the attitude that goes with the upkeep of TOV Look at the Eclwards area and realize the locals have found a new lively, fun, and sense of community due to the kick in the pants shove Vail has given to locals, their friends, family and children of this community to move on out and down valley. Reme?nber the old days, when you knew everyone in town, you supported the restaurants, the RR(' ASSOCIATES 13 r TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 1999 . shops and the events (even helped make them happen) because TOV was the community--TOV even helped down valley locals to success, and received the help in return we love Vail, please try to keep growth within limits so our grandchildren will be able to use Vail. More summer activities seem needed. World Cup did not seem to improve anything, .just a distraction. ? Vail needs to prornote more hi-tech year round businesses in order to increase the number of full- time residents and therefore strengthen the community. DETAILED SURVEY RESULTS . , .

Using the term discretion in reference to the issuing of a Complaint causes me some concern and I believe may be an issue for discussion with Council tonight. I have developed the following language to hopefully address the same issues regarding proper operation of alarm without using the "D" word. Let me know what you think. Thanks Suggested language for 4-9-3, Performance Standards, A-4: If there is reason to believe that any alarm system is not being used or maintained in a manner that insures proper operation and suppresses false alarms, the Fire Department may require a conference with an Alatm Agent, an Alarm Company, an Alarm System Owner and/or a responsible party and any other individual or association responsible for maintenance of the alann system to review the circumstances of each false alarm, to identify the cause of the false alarms, and identify, initiate and complete mitigation steps to assure the future compliance with the requirements of this Chapter.

WHEREAS, the Vail Town Council recognizes the need to effectively address wildfire protection and related services on a County-wide basis. , NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Town Council of the Town of Vail, Colorado: 1. The Town Manager is hereby authorized to enter into the 1999 Eagle County Annual Fire Protection Plan, attached as Exhibit A, and the Intergovernmental Mutual Aid Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B. 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage. INTRODUCED, READ, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this day of June, 1999. Robert E. Ford, Mayor ATTEST: Lorelei Donaldson, Town Clerk " C:\RESOLU99.7- EAGLE COUNTY ANNU:AL FIRE PROTECTION PLAN 1999 4%30/99 PURPOSE The purpose of this plan is to set forth the means of implementing the Eagle County Agreement for Cooperative Fire Protection, executed by the County and this of 1999, as per Mutual Aid Agreement. This plan outlines policies and responsibilities of the cooperating agencies in order to respond to ' fires in a safe, prompt, and effective manner. A. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES . Responsibility for fire suppression in an area out of a fire protection district is shazed jointly by the county and the various fire protection districts or fire departments. Reimbursable costs shall be covered as mutually agreed upon by the county and district or department involved per the Intergovernmental Ageement. Maps appended to this operating plan show boundaries delineating federal, state, county • (private land) and fire district/department areas of mutual responsibility. (See Appendix I.) B. MOBILIZATION PLAN L Initial Attack/LJnified Command/ICS The Incident Command System (ICS) will be utilized on all fires. ICS is a standazdized methoa of managing emergency incidents. It is based on: - A common oreanizational structure Common terminology (Appendix II) Common operating procedures Known qualifications of emergency personnel ICS does not infi-inge on the daily routine, responsibilities or authority given each agency by statute. But, if a transfer of authority is necessarv as conditions change, ICS smoothes out the transition since organizational structure and lines of authority are clearly identified. INITIAL ACTION on any fire occurring on the areas covered by this agreement shall be taken by the fire organization that first arrives at the scene of the fire, irrespective of jurisdictional boundaries, but the agency taking initial action shall report the fire 1 Exhibit A .f immediately to the jurisdictional agency. In the event the assisting agency arrives first, the officer in charge of its forces shall serve as Acting Incident Commander until the arrival of the suppression forces, or appropriate officer, of the jurisdictional agency, who shall then take charge of the fire as Incident Commander. The agency taking initial action on any fire shall remain on the fire until the fire is completely controlled and out, or until relieved by an assisting agency or the jurisdictional agency. This includes the release of the agency's manpower and equipment in so far as the relieving agency's manpower and tools are available to . replace them. • If a fire crosses jurisdictional boundaries and becomes a multi-agency fire, a LJNIFIED COMMAND will be formed. The purpose of the Unified Command will be to meet as a group and identify policies and direction resulting in one common set of objectives for implementation by the suppression forces. The Unified Command will consist of representatives of the following agencies that have responded to that incident: - Eagle County - Sheriff or his designee . - Colorado State Forest Service - District Forester or his designee - Federal Land Agency involved - Forest Supervisor (USFS) or designee, District Manager (BLM) or designee - Fire DistricUDepartment Chief or designee If the fire continues to escalate the Unified Command Group will consider enacting the EOC. 2. Resources Available Each agency will keep all others informed, throughout the fire season, of fire danQer (calculated by USFS), suppression activities, and changes in location of manpower and equipment. 3. Additional Suppression Resources All requests for non-federal agency fire forces will be made through the applicable agency representative. All requests for state or federal agency fire forces will be made through the applicable agency representative. 2 v 4. State Emergency Fire Fund (EFF) Eagle Counry is a member of the State EFF Agreement. The purpose of this fund is to provide funds to cover costs associated with a large fire on private or state lands that the resources of the COUNTY cannot handle. Implementation of the Emergency Fire Fund can only be done by the State Forester of Colorado upon the recommendation of the local CSFS District Forester following a_ request from the County. For this reason, it is important that the CSFS District Forester or his designee be notified immediately of major fires on, private or state lands within the ~ . - County- ' ~ - Should the fire suipass, or threaten to surpass, the ability of County resources to contain it, EFF implementation can only occur with a CSFS representative on the scene of the fire. When a fire "goes EFF" CSFS assumes full responsibility and authority for all suppression activity until the fire is returned to County responsibility. The State Forester will designate a Line Officer who will assume the CSFS position on the Unified Command Group. C. AIR OPERATIONS 1. Use and Ordering of Air Support Requests for air attack will be made only by a responsible official of the jurisdictional agency. Air attack will be handled by qualified personnel of either the BLM or USFS in accordance with the agency's regulations. Costs and Payment Responsibilities See Air Agreement, County, 1992. _ D. REIMBURSEMENTS 1. Costs Reimbursable REIMBURSABLE MANPOWER AND EQUIpMENT - Reimbursable manpower and equipment use should be recorded on the appropriate forms within seven days of said fire. 3 : 2. Rates EQUIPMENT USE R.ATES. Current rates are established in section 4.5 of the Intergovemmental Ageement. FIRE EQUIPMENT RENTAL not covered in the Appendix will not receive reimbursement expenses from jurisdictional agencies requiring them unless rates are mutually agreed to, in writing, and said equipment is requested by the _ jurisdictional agency. PERSONNEL - The wages of personnel shall be at the rate as established by the . cooperating agency as outlined in section 4.5 of the Intergovernmental ageement. CHARGE PERIOD. Rates will be computed hourly after the initial as established in 4.5 of the Intergovernmental Agreement. E. OTHER PROCEDURES 1. Burning Permits . Standard operating procedures for BURNING PERMITS FOR PRESCRIBED BURNS will be adhered to. The jurisdictional agency will follow agency prescribed burning policy and procedures and NOTIFY COOPERATING AGENCIES OF BURNING PROJECTS. Such notification should include the location, timing, and nature of prescribed burns and should be given well in advance of the burn and prior to ignition on the day of the burn. 2. Burning Restrictions REQLTESTS FOR CLOSURES PROHIBITING OPEN FIItES during hazardous periods . will be made to include private, state, BLM and USFS lands. These requests will be made by jurisdictional agency with notification given to cooperating agencies. Requests - should be submitted in writing to the respective granting authority. 3. Maintenance and Access Roads - Use of roads on Forest Service and BLM lands presently closed to vehicular travel (outside of wilderness areas) is hereby authorized to all parties to this Annual Operating Plan. Suppression within designated wilderness and/or "roadless" areas will not be conducted through express orders from USFS. 4 4. Wildfire Prevention Activities DISTRIBUTION OF FIRE PREVENTION MATERIALS will be handled bv the jurisdictional agencies in Eagle County. Distribution should cover schools and commercial establishments within the County. The CSFS will supply the County Sheriff and fire districts with CFFP (Smokey Bear) materials for distribution on request by the department. - Each agency will prepare and release FIRE PREVENTION MATERIAL AND RADIO/TV PRESENTATIONS according to their own prevention• plans. Coordination ` with cooperating agencies should be followed in order to prevent a conflict in released material. Where pertinent, all new releases for fire prevention will carry USFS, CSFS, fire district or County Sheriff by-line. 5. Law Enforcement Actions For the purpose of fire law enforcement, the jurisdictional fire agencies and Eagle County will follow appropriate LAW ENFORCEMENT REGIJLATIONS. Traffic control will be provided by the responsible law enforcement, upon request, to expedite the routing of vehicles and personnel to and from major fires and to exclude unauthorized personnel from the fire area. It will be the responsibility of the agency upon whose land the fire originates to take law enforcement action. When initial attack is made by another agency, the assisting agency will immediately gather and preserve information and evidence pertaining to the cause of the fire for the jurisdictional agency. In the case of any restrictions on burning or public movements because of extreme fire danger, either by Governor's proclamation or by local issue, the County will be responsible for enforcement on all lands. 6. Fire Investigation and Iricident Final Reports The cooperating agencies will take what steps necessary to gather EVIDENCE OF FIRE CAUSE as outlined in the jurisdictional agency's fire control procedures. CIVIL AND CRIMINAL FOLLOW-UP ACTION will be taken by the jurisdictional agency. Fire districts will file incident reports with Eagle County Sheriffs Office on forms provided for reporting to NFIRS following conclusion of each incident. 5 v F. WILDFIRE DETECTION Cooperating agencies will keep each other informed throughout the fire season of lightning activity and will forward any reports of wildfire received to the Vail Communications Dispatcher who will notify all agencies through routine procedures. G. FIlZE DANGER M.ONITORING & INFORMATION The local offices of the USFS will monitor local fire danger levels and will notify the - ECSO af any significant changes in level. National Weather Service in Denver periodically issues "RED-FLAG" watches and warning bulletins to USFS Regional Office and to CSFS State Office. These offices notify respective local contacts who, in turn, will ensure all local agencies are informed. H. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDLiRES The primary purpose of this operating plan is to ensure prompt suppression of fires. Any inter-agency dispute arising from these procedures will be resolved on-site by the Unified Command Group. When necessary, following the conclusion of the fire incident, a panel of agency representatives, other than the participants in the incident, will review and resolve the dispute. This plan will remain in effect until superseded. Participating agencies will meet prior to April 1 st each year to review and update the plan for official approval. 6 : EAGLE COUNTY COOPER.ATIVE COUNTY WILDFIRE 1999 ANNUAL OPERATING PLAN Agencies approving the continuation of this agreement through the 1999 fire season: Eagle County Sheriff Date B.O.C.C.

Today's reopening follows a deer migration study that ran from May 14-June 10 with the help of 40 early-morning volunteers. The volunteers worked shifts from 5 to 9 a.m. with wildlife biologist Bill Alldredge to evaluate the deer's response to bicyclists and pedestrians who were strategically placed along the trail as the deer descended from the north side of I-70, through a wildlife tunnel and then past the path. Alldredge also tested a screen mechanism that shielded the path from the deers' line of site. Once complete, the study will make recommendations to shorten, expand, eliminate or maintain the length of future closures, as needed. The report is being funded by the Town of Vail. Previously, spring and fall wildlife migration closures had been required by the Colorado Division of Wildlife as a condition of the recreation path's approval.

The $5 special event parking at the Ford Park and soccer field parking lots was introduced a year ago to help ease parking and traffic congestion around the park and to improve pedestrian safety. ` The Vail Village parking structure will remain free this summer with 10-minute bus service to the park during special events. Pedestrian paths also are in place, providing 10-minute access to the park for those who prefer to walk from the structure. In addition, Ford Park drop-off lanes #or private vehicles will be accessible from the South Frontage Rd. during peak days. .Attendants wi)I be on-site to manage the drop=off spaces and to assist users with a maximum 10-minute unloading time. ' Promotion of multiple access points to the park is one of several initiatives sponsored by the Ford Park Management Committee. The group, with representation from the Town of Vail, Vail Valley Foundation, Vail Recreation District, Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and Vail Alpine Garden Foundation, has seen the number of special events at the town-owned park double in the last two years. As a result, the Committee has been working year-round to coordinate (more) RECYCLED PAPER r ~ 0 : Add 1/Ford Park Summer schedules and activities, says Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer. "Ford Park is a community treasure that gets an amazing amount of use each summer from locals and guests alike," she said. "With the addition of WestFest this year as well as other new programming, iYs all the more critical that we coordinate schedules to make sure we don't overextend the park's capacity." ~ . The close-in paid parking program will be offered on a first-come first-served basis during the 39 peak days, including the Hot Summer Nights concert series on Tuesdays. Last year, the free • concert series was exempt from the paid parking program, which prompted several user groups to raise fairness concerns. "This year, our criteria for paid parking has been based upon multiple venues and consistent hours and treatment for all user groups," said Brandmeyer. "We're applying those standards to all our users in an equitable fashion." The parking program will again be managed by Mountain Valet, a private company, under a contract with the town. Variable message signs will be used to alert event-goers of the paid parking option. Close-in parking fees will be collected from 4 to 7 p.m. on most peak days, with the exception of July 4 and Sept. 4-6 when paid parking will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The Ford Park lot has 200 close-in parking spaces, while the soccer field lot has 57-spaces. Free parking will continue to be offered at the lots during non-peak days. The Ford Park Management Committee and the Vail Town Council have each embraced the summer program and are asking for the public's help in implementing the plan, Brandmeyer said. "We know the addition of the Tuesday night concert series will be a disappointment for some people," she said. "But we've all come to realize that providing equal accessibility to all park venues is our highest priority. Users will continue to have a variety of options and choices about how they access the park." Ford Park is Vail's largest recreational facility at 39 acres. It contains the Betty Ford Alpine (more) ~ ~ Add 2/Ford Park Summer Gardens, the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, the Vail Nature Center, three softball fields, eight tennis courts, a soccer field, bike paths, picnic tables, a children's playground and numerous other recreational uses.

The plan, effective June 14, includes the promotion of Greg Hall to Public Works director/town engineer and the elimination of 10 full-time equivalent positions. McLaurin said the cuts are being handled through a combination of attrition and job reassignments. "I'm relieved that we've been able to complete the restructuring with minimal employee impact," he said. "Once again, this organization has shown its ability to step forward and meet the challenge. Our employees are TOV's greatest asset and we're workirg hard to create an environment that brings out the best in all of us for the benefit of our residents and guests." McLaurin says the rebrganization will help ensure a sound financial future for the town. "These changes are intended to reduce costs in areas and in ways that impact customer service as little as possible, while focusing our resources in the areas of guest services, technology and infrastructure. Our goal has been to produce a government that works better and costs less through sound decision-making." The restructuring is most visible in the Public Works Department, where Greg Hall, formerly the department's acting director and town engineer, has been promoted to head the department. Hafl, a 10-year employee, was selected from a field of 150 candidates from across the country. (more) R6'CYCLED PAPER r . TOV Reorganization/Add 1 McLaurin says Hall's leadership has been impressive. "Since his appointment as acting director four months ago, Greg has led the department with confidence," McLaurin said. "His commitment to excellence and this community is outstanding." During Hall's tenure with the town, he's been responsible for construction of the Main Vail and West Vail roundabouts, acquisition of state and federal funding for critical bridge replacements and the Dowd Junction recreation trail, among others. Prior to his employment with the Town of Vail, Hall served as civil engineer for the City of Lakewood. He says he's looking forward to the challenge. "It is a joy to work for a group of committed employees who every day are continually looking for ways to improve our services that directly impact the community," he said. Hall and his wife Michelle live in West Vail with their 3-year-old daughter, Heddie. • Another change in the Public Works Department is a reduction in the number of divisions from seven to four. The four divisions are: 1) Projects; 2) Infrastructure and Public Facilities; 3) Transit and Parking; and 4) Fleet Maintenance. While the Transit/Parking and Fleet divisions will function as they have in the past, McLaurin has consolidated the functions of three other divisions--the former Facilities Maintenance, Streets and Parks divisions--into a new division called Infrastructure and Public Facilities. This new division will be headed by Larry Pardee, former streets superintendent, and will be comprised of labor services, trades and crafts, and streets and roads. The fourth new division, Projects, combines some functions of the former Administrative Services, Engineering and Parks divisions. Other organizational changes announced by McLaurin include: --consolidation of the Public Works director and town engineer position --elimination of 1 planning/mapping position in the Community Development Department --elimination of an assistant in the Human Resources Department --elimination of a receptionist in the Administrative Services Department --elimination of a transit operations supervisar position --elimination of a Public Works administrative position --elimination of three part-time parking attendants via automated parking operations --elimination of a seasonal cashier in the Finance Department (more) r TOV Reorganization/Add 2 --elimination of an engineering tech position funded in fiscal year 2000 --elimination of a parts assistant funded in fiscal year 2000 --reduction of a full-time position to part-time at the Library In addition, McLaurin said adjustments may be forthcoming in the Police and Fire departments following completion of a public safety study later in the summer. Although painful at times, McLaurin said the three-month organizational assessment process . has been invaluable in repositioning the town's focus. "We concentrated on maintaining and improving our service levels first and foremost," he said. "From there, we looked at ways to create more shared decision-making throughout the organization. This created opportunities for consolidation of some of our middle management positions. It also opened up additional professional development opportunities throughout the organization." A projected $1 million budget shortfall in 2003 has served as the catalyst in the process, which began with an internal review of operational cuis and will end later this fall with decisions by the Vail Town Council regarding ongoing revenue enhancements of as much as $500,000. "Although the budget shortfall triggered this process, I'm a strong believer in ongoing efforts to assess and fine-tune our operations during both good times and bad times," McLaurin said. "I'm especially grateful to our employees who exhibited a great deal of selflessness in this evaluation. This process has been especially difficult for our employees because of its uncertainty. Now that we have closure, we can all move forward in a productive manner." Since 1996, McLaurin has warned of potential financial problems for the town if not addressed proactively. The $1 million shortfall had been projected over the next five years due to a trend in sagging sales tax collections. Sales tax revenues account for more than half of the town's $30.6 million budget. If the trends continue to worsen, McLaurin says the town will have no choice but to make substantial cuts in municipal services next year unless additional revenue sources are identified. "At that point, residents will have some difficult choices to make," he said. "Either to (more) i a TOV Reorganization/Add 3 accept a reduction in services or to consider some form of revenue enhancement to maintain our quality of life and the quality of municipal services." The town employs approximately 200 full-time workers, as well as additional winter and summer seasonal workers as needed.

Community Information Office ' UAIL TOWN COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS FOR JUNE 8 Work Session Briefs Council members present: Armour, Arnett, Ford, Jewett', Kurz *Jewett was excused from the meeting prior to adjournment --Site Visit and Discussion of Proposed Marriott Redevelopment Following a site visit, the Council offered conceptual support for a redevelopment proposal that would "re-skin" the exterior of Marriott's Mountain Resort in Lionshead as well as construction of 66 interval ownership club units on top of the existing parking structure. The proposal also includes conversion of the "Windows" restaurant to four condominium units and the conversion of existing ski storage/retail area to six employee housing units. The proposal is among the first to be considered under the guidelines of the newly approved Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. During discussion, Councilmembers applauded the developer for modifying the project based on concerns expressed by the Design Review Board, the Planning and Environmental Commission and the adjoining neighborhood. Additional refinements suggested yesterday by the Council included: additional loading and delivery improvements; an increase in the multiplier for the employee housing component; additional architectural treatments on the east and south sides of the Gore Creek Club; breaking up the west elevation of the Gore Creek Club; and additional discussions to determine an equitable formula for impact fees associated with improvements to the Frontage Road. After spending two-and-a-half years developing the Lionshead Master Plan, Mayor Rob Ford said he's "pleased to see this kind of project come through." The Council will formally consider the proposal for first reading at the July 6 evening meeting. For more information, contact George Ruther in the Community Development Department at 479-2145. --Vail Marketing Ballot Issue Representing a coalition that includes Vail-based lodges, restaurants and Lionshead merchants, Rob LeVine presented the Council with a request to ask Vail voters to consider a 1.4 percent lodging tax in November. The percentage would keep the total tax in Vail under 10 percent, he said. LeVine, the general manager of the Antlers, also said the group prefers to use Vail's boundaries as a local marketing district for the tax as specified by state legislation. He said the local marketing district would give the lodging community security in that the $1.6 million generated annually would be spent on marketing rather than diverted to other uses. In addition, he said the Council could choose to expand the district if circumstances change in the future. Support for the lodging tax, he said, is contingent on the town's continuation of its current funding levels for marketing, which includes $318,000 funding from the business license fee, plus $183,000 from the general fund, as well as $170,000 for special events and $110,000 for operation of the information centers. Although LeVine said the lodges have suggested an increase in the business license fee to create more equity from those who will benefit from increased marketing, they've agreed to set the discussion aside until after the election. Also (more) ta4W*0* RECYCLED PAPER t Add 1/TOV Council Highlights/6-8-99 speaking yesterday was Ross Boyle, chairman of the Vail Valley Marketing Board, who said the voluntary board had agreed to develop a Vail-only marketing plan for 2000 based on a$2 million budget, assuming the lodging tax is approved in November. He said the plan would be presented to Council the first week in August and could be used as part of an informational campaign for the election. Next to speak was Kaye Ferry of the Vail Village Merchants Association, who said her organization would be meeting later this week to discuss the lodging tax proposal. Also yesterday, the Council heard from Joe Staufer, representing 30 members of a new organization called the Vail Community Chamber of Commerce. The former owner of the Vail Village Inn said : the group supports a 1.4 percent lodging tax under a home rule.ballot proposal rather than the _ local marketing district. He said a home rule approach would eliminate the possibility of a ' - valleywide marketing effort down the road. Staufer has been a proponent of Vail-only marketing. - Next to speak was Carol Alleman, manager of the Galatyn Lodge, who urged the Council to maintain the town's current funding level for marketing. Without it, she said support of the lodging tax will diminish. Stan Cope, manager of the Lodge Tower and Vail Athletic Club, reminded the Council that a 2.5 percent credit card fee will cost Vail lodges approximately $40,000 out of pocket to collect the 1.4 percent lodging tax and that 70 percent of the tax will be collected from winter guests. Gary Fries, general manager of the Cascade Club and chairman of the Vail Valley Tourism and Convention Bureau, offered the membership's 100 percent support for the 1.4 percent lodging tax proposal advocated by LeVine. Council reaction included remarks by Michael Arnett who said he wasn't comfortable with a request to maintain the town's funding levels for marketing, given the town's latest efforts to cut its operational budget. Arnett also asked the group to consider a specific sunset clause in the ballot issue. Mayor Rob Ford said he was encouraged to see the business community step forward to champion the effort. As the Council awaits presentation of a local marketing district petition, Ford suggested the groups continue to discuss contribution ideas that would create participation equity throughout the community. For more information, contact Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer at 479-2113. --Discussion of False Fire Alarm Ordinance The Council reviewed a draft false fire alarm ordinance in preparation for first reading at the June 15 evening meeting. In developing the ordinance, Fire Chief Dick Duran said the department met with various property owners and contractors to incorporate their suggestions and concerns. Overall, Duran said the business community has been supportive of the proposed legislation, which is aimed at reducing the number of false fire alarms in Vail by 30 percent. This would be handled by citing repeat offenders to Municipal Court, where penalties could range from a fine of up to $999 and/or incarceration of up to 180 days in jail. Currently, the department uses a siz- month process to work with property owners. Fire Marshal Mike McGee has said the process is tedious and ineffective in bringing about a quick remedy. As a result of feedback from the business community, the proposed legislation includes a mitigation clause that gives fire officials the discretion to waive the issuance of a summons to Municipal Court, provided the owner takes reasonable steps to mitigate the cause of the false alarm within a reasonable time period. Chief Duran has said previously the court action would be used as a last resort for a small group of violators. During discussion, Councilman Bob Armour, a longtime proponent of a false alarm ordinance, wondered if the legislation "shows enough teeth." Armour suggested consideration of structured fines rather than leaving the penalty up to the discretion of the Municipal Judge. Town Manager Bob McLaurin said the staff would continue to research the possibility of structured fines with a discussion to occur prior to second reading of the ordinance. Last December, Councilmembers reviewed statistics that showed 2,823 false alarms at 302 properties in Vail within a two-and-a-half year period. Since those discussions began, Chief Duran says his department has already seen a reduction in the number of false alarms. For more information, contact Duran at 479-2252. (more) ~ Add 2/TOV Council Highlights/6-8-99 --Discussion of a New Housing Zone District and Potential Changes to Employee Housing Chapter This discussion was tabled to the June 15 work session to enable Councilmembers to attend the Vail Tomorrow Community BBQ. --Information Update Assistant Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer announced that more than 800 rooms have already been donated by the lodging community to assist with the West Fest event over Labor Day . weekend. Organizers have asked for a donation of 950 rooms. Other announcements included: - the Colorado Department of Transportation has received permission from th.e Town of.Vail Community Development Department to construct a berm at the East Vail parking lot on Fall Line Drive; and paver repairs will be occurring in Slifer Plaza beginning Wednesday and will last the remainder of the week along East Meadow Drive. Bus service will be maintained throughout the project. --Council Reports 'There were no council reports. --Other At the suggestion of Mayor Rob Ford, Councilmembers agreed to establish a three-minute limit for constituents appearing before the Town Council under the citizen participation agenda heading for increased efficiencies during Council meetings. Bob Armour said he had asked Town Attorney Tom Moorhead for clarification regarding Council call-up of Design Review Board and Planning and Environmental Commission decisions. Armour has questioned whether the action should be considered an appeal, which requires notification of adjacent property owners.

Having grown up in South Florida and witnessing first hand what growth and high rises can do to a community, I know that bigger does not make for better. Quite the contrary. To add vitality and business to Vail, perhaps we should consider reserving some open space for more pocket parks, niches for benches, grass for picnics and any means to allow visitors to enjoy our natural beauty without necessarily spending inoney. By increasing their enjoyment and a desire to linger will result in spending money here rather than elsewhere. Our existing means of monitoring and controlling growth lies in our Planning & Environmental Commission, your review and public input. All serve as an excellent way to stay on top of what happens to our town. Please give serious consideration to the long-term affect of your carte blanche decision. Thank you and thank you for the time and effort you devote to our Town.

TOV Environmental Health Specialist TOV RECOMMENDS PINE BEETLE PREVENTIVE SPRAYING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY NOW THROUGH MID-JULY '(Vail)--Although the mountain pine beetle appears to have won the battle on Forest Service land, private property owners are being encouraged to fight back this season through use of a. preventive spray. According to Patrick Hamel, Vail's environmental health specialist, spraying should be done in the next four weeks before the pine beetles emerge from their current batch of host trees. The chemical to use is called carbaryl (trade name Sevin) and should be applied by a licensed sprayer, said Hamel. Its use should be limited to lodgepole pines six inches or larger in diameter. Trees smaller than six inches are not commonly attacked by the pine beetle, Hamel said. The pesticide is applied to the trunk of the live trees which are most susceptible to the pine beetles. One application of chemical is usually good for two years of protection. The chemical is toxic to fish, birds and other insects, especially bees, and should be handled carefully and used only to protect high value landscape trees, Hamel said. Trees which have turned orange-brown in color are already dead and pose no further danger of infecting other trees, according to Hamel. Infested trees, however, need to be cut down and covered with plastic, peeled of bark, or hauled off to a safe site before the beetles fly this summer, he said. The Town of Vail will continue to spray its high value trees in parks, along the streamtract and (more) L4m~ RECYCLED PAPER s Add 1/Pine Beetle Protection on the grounds of its other municipal facilities. This activity will begin in the next two weeks based on availability of the contractor. Most of the work will be done in the very early morning, Hamel said. The mountain pine beetle outbreak is approaching year three of a four-year cycle, which cause the pines to lose their water supply, eventually killing them. Moce than 13,000 lodgepole pines. from East Vail to Eagle-Vail have been killed in the past two years. As a result, full-scale forest protection is neither practical nor desired because of the risks, Hamel said. The list of area licensed sprayers for private property owners is as follows: Tim Bartol and Dave Redler Tree & Turf, Inc. Silverthorne Jim Baumgartner JB Enterprises Breckenridge Gary Batchelder Classic Cuttings Copper Mountain Ruben Cashler All West Tree Services Copper Mountain Colorado State Forest Service Dillon Don Donohue Mountain Valley Venture, Inc.

I would like to thank you for taldng the time last TVesday during the site visit to the Mazriott to view the Marrlott fram some of the Vail Spa units. 'tTnfomunately, due to time constraints, we were only able to view the Marriott from two units that will be primarily impaeted by the consttuction of the Gore Creek Club. Z would Iike to extend an invitation to you to retuln to the Vail Spa to view the Marriott from additional units that will be impacted if tbe landmark featum on top of Phase II of the Marriott is consavcted. The units on the top floor to the east wing would be Ynost affected by the landmark feature as they would have views of the entire mass of the proposed pyramid structure. You could also aecess other units to view the effect af the proposed Gare Creek Club from a variety of perspectives.

Results also show an increase in satisfaction levels of many of the town's basic services. Key findings of the 23-question survey were presented to the Vail Town Council this evening (6-15) by Chris Cares, principal of RRC Associates, a Boulder-based research firm which has conducted the annual survey for the past seven years. When asked to identify the two biggest issues facing the town, approximately 40 percent of the 1999 survey respondents listed affordable housing as the top concern. The second most identified issue is controlled growth/development with 23 percent, followed by open space/environment with 6 percent. The 1999 results closely resemble last years' findings when 34 percent listed affordable housing as the top concern, followed by controlled growth/development with 12 percent and open space/environment with 10 percent. For the first time in the survey's 12-year history, the town used a random telephone poll and an Internet survey to evaluate town services and citizen priorities. Results are based on opinions of more than 600 residents, second homeowners and business owners with a margin of error of (more) 4WW %10* RECYCLEDPAPER :J ~ Add 1/TOV Community Survey Results plus or minus 4 percent. The survey was conducted during the months of March and April. Previous surveys have relied on a mail-back technique, which has shown declining response rates. In summarizing the 1999 survey, RRC Associates has compared results with the previous year. The findings are as follows: . Services provided by Fire, Police and Transit received the highest department ratings, while the Community Development Department and Animal Control Services received the most .improved ratings from a year ago. Also showing improvement were the responsiveness ratings for the Art In Public Places Board, the Design Review Board and the town staff. The Vail Town Council received slightly lower marks than in 1998, while pricing of parking was the most negatively rated category overall with a rating of 2.8 out of a possible 5.0. In addition, 65 percent of respondents offered support for involvement by the town to improve the community's economic vitality, down from a support level of 76 percent last year. Expanded summer marketing was listed as the single most important action, followed by improvement of Vail's retail quality and increased lodging occupancy. There remains a general concern with a lack of "sense of community," although results are largely unchanged from last year. While 20 percent of the respondents noted improvement, 38 percent said it has gotten worse. Another 39 percent said it has stayed the same. Continued growth in access to the Internet was documented by the survey, with 73 percent of the survey respondents indicating such access, up from 64 percent the year before. While the number of responses on the Internet version of the survey was relatively low with 56 participants, results of the Internet survey closely paralleled responses from the telephone version. This, according to researchers, suggests new opportunities to use the Internet for communications about community issues and events.
