RE: Capital Projects Discussion
DT: February 24, 2000
As indicated on the agenda, we have scheduled time at the February 29'" Work Session
to discuss Capital and RETT Projects. I have included in the packet a list of the five-
year Capital and RETT budgets to show you what is currently programmed for the five-
year period. The purpose of this memo is to provide an overview of current fiscal
issues. I do not expect that we will get into the larger budget discussion on Tuesday,
but I wanted you to keep this in mind when you discuss capital projects.
Since 1992 flattening sales tax revenues and increasing operating costs has forced us
to look at our priorities more carefully.
We continue to have increasing demands for municipal services. Since 1994 we have
added the following programs and/or services (to name a few) without adding revenue.
• Internet Access at the Library
• Free after Three Parking Program
• TOV Website
• TOV Intranet
• Assumed maintenance for the Main Vail and West Vail roundabouts
• Created and funded an Affordable Housing division within Community Development
• Maintenance for additional bike paths and sidewalks
• AIPP
Additionally, we anticipate the following capital and operating needs over the next few
years.
• New fire station ($5 million plus $250,000 in estimated operating costs)
• Community Facilities at Donovon Park ($10 million)
• Development of Lionshead Hub Site
• Lionshead Redevelopment Public Infrastructure (parking deck, public plazas, etc)
• Buffehr Creek Park and Ellefson Park
Given that once constructed these facilities will increase our operating costs, it is
necessary to identify how you wish to address this problem. There are four ways to
deal with the anticipated operating deficit. These include:
Reduced Operatina Expenditures
This involves additional cuts to the general fund budget. Because of the budget
reductions in FY 2000 (10.5FTES and $485,000.00), additional fund expenditures
would mean service reduction in areas selected by Town Council.
Additional Revenue Sources
The State Constitution and the Town of Vail Charter dictate the options for additional
revenue sources. The most practical additional revenue source would be an increase in
the mill levy for the Town of Vail. The Town currently assesses 4.047 mills, which is
very low for our level of service.
Modifv RETT Revenue Allocation
This alternative involves reallocating a portion of the RETT revenue ( which the Council
can do by Ordinance) to the General and or Capital Projects Fund. Obviously, this is an
intensely controversial issue. However, this is the only town revenue source which is
filling significant revenue growth.
Modifv Capital Proiects Fund Allocation
This alternative involves reallocating the sales tax between Capital Projects and the
General Fund. This split is approximately 50/50 at this point. Changing this formula
would allocate more dollars to the General Fund and less to the Capital Projects. It
should be noted that in FY2000 we increased the split to the General Fund by
$250,000.
In summary, what I am trying to convey is that we have significant capital and operating
needs and limited resources (i.e., huge appetite and small pocketbook). Decisions you
make today regarding capital improvements will have long term implications as far as
our ability to pay for the maintenance and operating costs in the future.
I look forward to our discussion Tuesday. If you have questions or need additional
information, please call me at home (476-7388) this weekend and I will provide it for
you.

RE: RETT and Capital Project Budgets
Enclosed are the proposed amendments to the RETT and Capital Project budgets and the
revised 5-year plans. These have been prepared to assist in the discussion of the
infrastructure critical strategy. The fund balance at 12/31/99 has been estimated to the
best of our knowledge, but will not be finalized for another two weeks.
Capital Projects Fund
The estimated fund balance at December 31, 1999, is $7.7 million. This is higher than
anticipated due to the Berry Creek 5`h proceeds of $2 million and projects under budget by
$1.3 million. Proposed amendments to the 2000 Capital Projects budget amount to $1.2
million (see attached schedule).
The healthy fund balance in this fund is deceptive, due to the following projects that may
require additional funds in the near future: West Vail fire station and/or relocation of main
Vail station; hub site costs not financed; possible shortfall in the infrastructure TIF
financing of Lionshead redevelopment; and infrastructure costs at Mountain Bell.
Additionally, there are projects already programmed in the 5 year plan.
RETT Fund
The estimated fund balance at December 31, 1999, is $4.7 million. This fund was under
budget by $1.6 million primarily due to unfinished projects. The proposed budget
amendments for 2000 and 2001 is $8.9 million, which includes $9 million in additional
funds for the lower bench of Donovan Park. Additional funds of $161,782 are also
requested for the Buffehr Creek Park expansion, and for Ellefson Park, $335,870.
As you can see in the 5-year plan the lower bench of Donovan Park can be completed for
cash of $10 million. However, some of the projects programmed from 2002 - 2004 will
need to be trimmed by $2.3 million or deleted.
The main focus of Tuesday's meeting is to review the projects and the proposed
amendments and to confirm long-term future priorities. I believe it will take other sessions
to discuss and finalize what we hope to accomplish in 2000.

Mr. Dennis Gelvin
General Manager
Eagle River Water & Sanitation District
846 Forest Road
Vail, CO 81657
Dear Dennis:
I am in receipt of your letter of February 2, 2000, offering to purchase the Old Town
Shop property for $335,000. As we have discussed on numerous occasions, it is the
Town's intention to work with the Water & Sanitation District to insure that the plant
expansion occur in an expedient manner.
I have received a copy of the appraisal that was completed by Valuation Consultants for
the District on the "Old Town Shops" property. As indicated in your letter, the appraised
value of this parcel is $335,000. They concluded the highest and best use of the site is. its
current use. While we recognize that this is not an easy property to appraise, we have
some questions as to how the value was determined.
The first assumption that is potentially questionable is in regard to the rent currently
received for the building. The appraisal assumes a continued rent of $1.00 per year for
the 3,200 square feet located on the upper level of the building. The Vail Recreation
District currently operates its gymnastics program out of the space, but there is not a
written lease for this location. With only a month-to-month lease in place, a new tenant
paying fair market rent could be occupying the space within 30 days.
Another conclusion in the appraisal is that with the General Use zoning in place on the
property the highest and best use of the site if it were redeveloped is employee housing
units. The appraisal gives a projected sales figure of $900,000 for six units each at 1200
square feet. The General Use Zone District does not have a prescribed density limit for
employee housing units and setback requirements, except the 50 feet from the middle of
the creek setback, would be determined by the Planning and Environmental Commission.
The Lionshead Master Plan, which affects the properties nearly adjacent to this site,
allows a building height of up to 72 feet. The Master Plan also states that the west end of

~AM RECYCLEDPAPER
Lionshead is appropriate for employee housing and potentially additional density to
create more units. This could quite possibly allow a 5-story building on this site, which
would increase the number of employee housing units. This site is likely more suited to a
greater number of units that are smaller in size.
Looking at redevelopment potential at the Timber Ridge site has created densities
between 21 dwelling units and 35 dwelling units per acre. At 21 dwelling units per acre,
the building is between 2 and 4-stories tall. Each of the units has 5 bedrooms and 2
bathrooms in 1225 square feet. This layout of employee housing has proven to be
successful in the local market for both the tenants and property owners. With this type of
housing in mind, the potential for the Old Town Shops site could be around 10 units
creating 50 beds for local employees. This would greatly increase the sale or rental
revenue generated by the employee housing units.
I would request that you review the appraisal while considering the above qualifications.
Once the appraisal has been revised, we can discuss this transaction.
Please give me a call if you have questions or need additional information.
Sincerely,
TOWN OF VAIL
Robert W. McLaurin

Februarv 8, 2000, Work Session Meeting Minutes
All members of Town Council were present with the exception of Ludwig Kurz.
Item No. 7 - Information Update - Tom Moorhead spoke with Council in regard to two specific
actions. The first of which was to negotiate the purchase of a potential Deed Restriction
Employee Housing Unit at the asking price of $125,000.00. A motion was made by Greg
Moffet, with a second from Kevin Foley, to negotiate a contract for the sale of this unit. A vote
was taken and the motion passed unanimously. 6-0.
The second item that Tom Moorhead brought to Council's attention was a deed restriction
currently in place and recorded on a home in the Spraddle Creek Subdivision where the Deed
Restriction is not being used for that purpose. The owner had asked for the Council to consider
the purchase of a one-bedroom unit in the Town of Vail to offset the requirement for the deed-
restricted unit. Following the discussion, the Council, with a motion from Greg Moffet and a
second from Rod Slifer approved unanimously 6-0 this ongoing negotiation. Pam Brandmeyer
requested from Council that another third action in regard to employee housing be that the
Council consider the sale of 770 Potato Patch, a unit currently rented to a Town of Vail
employee. Council agreed the appraised value of $225,000.00, plus the opportunity to acquire in
place of this unit possibly up to two additional employee housing units, made this sale a very
desirable one. Direction was given to move forward with those negotiations.

Item No. 4 - In a preliminary discussion of infrastructure to include Capital and RETT projects

and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.
2. Greg Moffet moved, with a second from Sybill Navas, to approve $336,000.00
from RETT to construct Ellefson park. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
3. Greg Moffet moved, with a second from Kevin Foley, to approve an additional
$495,000.00 from past savings in the Capital Projects Fund to fund the
reconstruction of Lupine Drive, Vail Road and West Haven Drive. A vote was
taken and the motion passed unanimously, 7-0.

All members of Town Council were present.
Item No. 1- In an initial discussion of Infrastructure/Capital and RETT Improvements, the
discussion of White Water Park located at the Gore Creek Promenade was pursued. Greg Moffet

improvements to Gore Creek for the White Water Park. A vote was taken and the motion passed
unanimously, 7-0.
Further, Council requested staff to look at having the larger boulders given to the town rather
than an outright purchase.
