IN TOV COUNCIL CHAMBERS NOTE: Times of items are approximate, subject to change, and cannot be relied upon to determine at what time Council will consider an item. 1. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION. (5 mins.) 2. CONSENT AGENDA. (5 mins.) A. First reading of Ordinance No. 15, Series of 2000; an Ordinance 12-10, Vail Town Code; with specific regard to Vail's commercial core area parking maps; and setting forth details in regard thereto. 3. 1 n Reading of Ordinance No. 16, Series 2000 - Cable Franchise Agreement. Bob McLaurin (30 mins.) Tom Moorhead Fred Lutz ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with modifications or deny Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2000 on first reading. BACKGROUND RATIONAL: The Town of Vail entered into a Cable Television Franchise Agreement with TCI on January 5, 1995. That Agreement provided that TCI rebuild the existing cable system within thirty- six months of the effective date on the Agreement. The rebuild, pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, required utilization of a "fiber optics to the service area" design in which optical fiber delivers signals from the central hub to nodes serving approximately 500 to 1,000 residences. The nodes interface the optical fiber with coaxial cables which distribute signals to cable subscribers and also serves as input-output points for connection to public buildings and businesses. Due to new technology in the area of digital compression the system has been capable of being built in a manner that the subscriber receives the same benefit of expanded services and quality of service without utilizing the amount of fiber optics contemplated in the Agreement. The system build-out has continued through lengthy review of the Franchise Agreement and the Town of Vail's cable television system. The Town has utilized the services of Enhanced Video, Voice and Data Systems Inc. as a consultant to assure that the Town of Vail is receiving the full benefit of the quality of services negotiated in the original Franchise Agreement. The attached Amendment, extensive negotiations, and a close working relationship with the cable operator has resulted in a system capable of performing and offering advantages to subscribers that were not originally contemplated. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2000, on first reading. 4. First reading of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2000, an ordinance removing George Ruther the requirement for Planning and Environmental Commission representation on the Design Review Board. (15 mins.) ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with modifications or deny Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2000, on first reading. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Chapter 4, Design Review Board, of the Municipal Code, states that "The design review board shall be composed of five (5) members. Four (4) members shall be residents of the Town, appointed by the Town Council, and the fifth member shall be a member of the Planning and Environmental Commission of the Town." RECOMMENDATION: The PEC, upon motion (7-0), has recommended that the Town Council consider making changes to the code removing the requirement for PEC representation on the DRB. The reason given for the motion was that the amount of time necessary to attend both the PEC meetings and the DRB meetings was excessive and difficult for working professionals to attend and was redundant give the role of the staff. Staff believes it is beneficial for Town Boards to have overlapping membership, so that each Board understands the interrelationship of the Boards and Commissions. Staff believes that such a system would be beneficial also for the Town Council to have voting members present at the PEC and DRB meetings for this reason. However, we understand the impacts of having volunteers in our community committing significant blocks of time to board meetings. The sizeable time commitments necessary for these Boards negatively impacts our ability to fill empty positions with qualified residents. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2000, on first reading. 5. 1' Reading of Ordinance No. 18, Series 2000 - Vail Heights Buy Down Unit. Nina Timm (15 mins.) Tom Moorhead BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Town of Vail pursuant to it's Buy- Down program purchased the unit located at 2059 Chamonix Lane Unit No. 6, Vail, Colorado on June 2, 2000. The purchase price was $129,000. The Town has conducted a lottery and has identified potential purchasers to purchase the unit at a deed-restricted price of $115,000. There has been a possibility of a special assessment incurring prior to the resale of the unit. Though we believed that the assessment would occur in July it has not happened yet. The purchasers are prepared to close on the unit immediately upon the two readings of the ordinance. This ordinance is being presented to meet the charter requirement of Section 4.8 which specifies that the sale of any real property is required to be approved by ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance authorizing the sale of unit no. 6, Vail Heights Condos. 6. Rotary International Children's Opportunity Grant - Pediatric Health Care Carolyn Cage Proclamation.

TOV Community Survey Results Suzanne Silverthorn Chris Cares Action Requested of Council: Listen to the presentation of the survey findings and ask for clarification, where needed. (45 mins.) Background Rationale: The Town of Vail conducted its traditional community survey during the first two weeks in April this year. A new feature of the survey was the addition of multiple formats: on the Internet, by mail and by phone. The results were tabulated by RRC Associates, a Boulder-based planning and market research firm. This marks the 13th consecutive year in which the town has used a citizen survey to track its performance in a variety of areas and to identify community priorities and concerns. 9.

The amount 6f the s...t is $25,000 The money is being carried as a restricted account on the books of the Vail/Eagle Valley Rotary . - Club, Treasurer Klaus Kunter Term of grant May 15, 2000 to May 15, 2001 Launch date for project: Wednesday, July 19', at the VaiWagle Valley Xotary Club First health s~xw,,ing: Dotsero, Saturday, July 29th Community Participation Many agencies have participated extensively in the design of this project, including: Eagle County Health and Human Services Eagle Care Clinic of Vail Valley Medical Center Eagle County School District Head Start l;agle County School District Child Find Catholic Charities Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Division Colorado West Mental Health Center The Literacy Project The Rotary Club of Vail Eagle Valley Screenings Within the $25,000 overall budget, $5,000 is budgeted for health screenings to reach disadvantaged children. It is estimated by the Public Health Service that three in five Fagle County children are without health insurance. Many agencies, including all of the agencies on the Task Force, provide outreach programs with care provided to uninsured clients on a sliding scale of financial ability, but limited ability is available to refer to health care professionals for more extensive diagnosis, treatment or follow-up. Acute illness is judged to be a special problem, as well as health education. It is hoped that the sr-."..ings taking place will greatly extend the "reach" of existing cfforts, many already well established. e 2 An overall aim of the present e.m..t is to reach 400 children who have no other access to health care. For the health screenings, the age group 0-5 years is being targeted, since this cohort is often not reached by pre-school screenings. (Note: At present, only two public health nurses cover all of the schools in the valley. Also note that the immunization pros, w.s offered by Public Health and other agencies are judged to have been very successful in our valley, now estimating 87% coverage for immunizations.) Screenings so far have been scheduled as follows: Dotsem Saturday, July 17'b (note no public building available) Eagle Saturday, September 16`s (with the Back-to-School Health Fair) Avon No date set Edwards No date set Initial screenings will be utilizing the "Denver II" devel-pi-.ental as well as visual screenings and technically sophisticated screening for early hearing problems. The "Denver II" exam requires about 45 minutes per child by a trained examiner, requiring a table and three chairs. We anticipate needing six Denver II examiners, all bilingual) These volunteers are cu..,&..tly being trained by Sharon Thompson of Child Find.) The visual screening takes 4ppi Vximately five minutes per child. The auditory screening, which must take place in a noise- free environment, takes an estimated five minutes. Rotary co-chairs Carolyn Cage and Carol Hymers have relied upon the extensive experience of the various existing agencies to determine priority needs for locations of screenings and structure of the voucher program. This is truly a partnership project! The Child Health Task Force is relying on the resources of the Rotary Club to implement the four scheduled screenings. Rotary has extensive know-how in conducting public events, and much help is needed. We expect that after the first screening in Dotsero (by far the most difficult site), the task will become progressively easier, and members who have participated in one s. d:: -ing can bring their experience to the next screening. Pomeher Program The remainder, $20,000, is being utilized to implement a voucher system whereby children are t.l..Vided access to medical care unavailable through other programs. The voucher system "Rotary Child Health Card" is intended to be a "payer of last resort" for medical care. It does not include hospitalization expenses or surgical expenses. Five health-professional "gatekeepers" will be implementing the vouchers and referring clients. Vouchers are numbered and a database has been established for accountability purposes, while preserving confidentiality for clients. We have much to learn lr,,,,. this program! Toucher issuance is not limited to the 0-5 age group, but is not intended not to be used after age 18. Within the voucher program a "special needs" committee of health professionals has been set up to consider cases where extensive treatment or follow-up is needed, in order for r r 3 there to be a determination how resources may be applied. This committee will meet on an as-needed basis. The Task Force anticipates needing the help of Rotary volunteers in maintaining the database, interim reports and publicity to Rotary International and the local community, as well as assistance in follow-up &.A requests. Each Task Force member, for the screenings and for work with the voucher programs, will be required to sign a pledge of confidentiality with regard to client and/or patient information before taking part in the screenings Each client of the program must sign a consent form permitting the limited distribution of personal information. For further questions or information, please call Rotary Task Force co-chairs; Carol Hymers (476- 6033) or Carolyn Cage (949-9766.)

RRC Associates of Boulder, Colorado was again retained to assist in this effort. The purpose of the survey 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, the survey was conducted using a combination ofmailback, Internet, and telephone survey techniques. A total of 1,072 survey responses were collected. The year 2000 survey was 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 memo contains a brief summary of key findings for Council review for its July 18, 2000 meeting. Included with this memo is a copy of the survey questionnaire, with survey results from both 2000 and 1999 shown on the form. A more detailed report will be provided to Town staff under separate cover, including an expanded written report, quantitative tables, and a full listing of verbatim comments collected from the open-ended questions on the survey. Importance of Issues to the Future of Vail Respondents were asked to rate the importance of a series of issues pertaining to the future of Vail, using a five-point scale where 1 = "not at all important" and 5 = "very important." As illustrated in Figure 1 on the following page, all six listed issues were considered important by a majority of respondents. Protection of environmental resources was ranked as the most important issue (mean rating of 4.4 out of 5), followed by sustaining the economic viability of businesses in Vail (mean 4.2), construction/ maintenance of public infrastructure (4.2), improvement of the sense of community (4.2), improving transportation modes around Vail (4.0), and facilitating housing for workers in Vail (4.0). The issue of facilitating housing for workers in Vail, although considered important by a majority of respondents, also received a moderate proportion of `unimportant' responses (15 percent "1" or "2"). This may be a reflection of continued controversy regarding affordable housing, although again it is apparent that the majority of respondents consider the issue to be important. Somewhat surprisingly, second homeowners rated the affordable housing issue slightly more important (mean 4.1) than did local residents (mean 3.9) (see Figure 2). Second homeowners also gave somewhat higher importance ratings for construction/maintenance of public infrastructure (mean 4.5, vs. 4.2 for residents), and for improving transportation modes around Vail (mean 4.2, vs. 4.0 for residents). Residents and second homeowners gave largely similar importance ratings for protection of environmental resources, improving the sense of RRC ASSOCIATES 1 TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 2000: OVERVIEW OF RESULTS FOR 7/18/00 COUNCIL REVIEW SESSION community, and sustaining the economic viability of businesses in Vail. Additionally, both groups ranked the six issues in largely similar order of importance.

As illustrated in the graph below, most respondents tend to feel that the Town is moderately effective in addressing the listed issues, with a majority giving responses of "2," "3," or 444." Relatively few respondents feel that that the Town is 5 - "very effective" with respect to any of the issues, but also relatively few feel that the Town is 1 - "not at all effective." Among the issues evaluated, the Town is seen as most effective with respect to improving transportation in and around Vail (58 percent "4" or "5"), construction/maintenance of public infrastructure (56 percent "4" or "5"), and to a lesser degree, protection of environmental resources (44 percent "4" or "5"). The Town is viewed as somewhat less effective in terms of improving the sense of community (33 percent "1" or "2"), facilitating housing for workers in Vail (38 percent "1" or "2"), and sustaining the economic viability of businesses in Vail (40 percent "I" or "2").

The greatest differentials are for construction/maintenance of public infrastructure, protection of environmental resources, and sustaining the economic viability of businesses in Vail. However, it is also interesting to note that the two groups rank the Town's effectiveness in addressing the issues in roughly similar order.

Respondents were asked whether the TOV government should take action to improve the community's economic vitality in commercial areas (including retail quality and variety, keeping businesses in Vail, etc.). The large majority of respondents indicated that TOV should be involved (80 percent), up from last year's 66 percent. Support for Town involvement in economic vitality issues is uniformly high among essentially all demographic subgroups, including both residents (82 percent) and second homeowners (76 percent); homeowners (80 percent) and renters (83 percent); persons with varying lengths of residence in Vail (79 - 84 percent); TOV business owners (84 percent) and non-business owners (80 percent); persons registered to vote in Vail (80 percent) and not registered in Vail (80 percent); singles, couples, families, and empty nesters (77 - 83 percent); etc. The broad base of support suggests that the Town essentially has a "mandate" to take action on the economic vitality issue. Persons who felt that the town should take action to improve the community's economic vitality were further asked to rate the importance of a list of actions that could be taken by the town, using a five-point scale where I = "not at all important" and 5 = "very important." As illustrated in Figure 5 on the following page, the steps which are viewed as most important are increasing employee housing (mean rating 4.0), improving lodging quality (4.0), increasing programs/events for visitors (4.0), improving retail mix/quality (3.9), increasing programs/events for local residents (3.9), and improving the streetscape (3.8). Steps which are seen as somewhat less important include expanding lodging capacity (3.4) and updating the sign code (3.3). Steps which are comparatively seen as least important are increasing the number of lodging beds (2.9) and increasing commercial space (2.7).

Overall, in the past 12 months, 86 percent of local residents used the TOV bus system; 72 percent hold a TOV library card; 69 percent visited, called, or emailed the library; 36 percent used the library community room; 29 percent used the Community Development Department; 25 percent had contact with Animal Control; and 13 percent utilized Fire Services. Not surprisingly, local residents tend to exhibit higher use / contact rates than second homeowners, except that both groups are about equally likely to have used the bus system and the library community room in the previous 12 months. Ratings of Selected Aspects of TOV Services / Sense of Community Figure 7, on page 9, illustrates selected ratings of TOV services and the sense of a community, specifically those aspects rated on a three-point scale. The year 2000 responses of local residents are presented next to results from second homeowners. Findings include: o Responsiveness of TOV Government: Most local residents feel that the responsiveness of town government has stayed the same over the past year (57 percent), while somewhat more feel it has improved (28 percent) than gotten worse (15 percent). Second homeowners largely feel that RRC ASSOCIATES 5 TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 2000: OVERVIEW OF RESULTS FOR 7/18/00 COUNCIL REVIEW SESSION responsiveness has remained the same (75 percent), while again more feel it has improved (20 percent) than gotten worse (5 percent). • Level of Traffic Enforcement: Most locals feel the current level of enforcement is about right (70 percent), while 17 percent consider it to be too little and 13 percent consider it to be too much. Second homeowners are even more supportive of the current level of traffic enforcement (90 percent), with 5 percent considering it to be too little and 5 percent considering it to be too much. • Parking Enforcement: While most locals consider the current level of parking enforcement to be about right (55 percent), a significant minority consider it to be too much (38 percent), while 7 percent consider it to be too little. Second homeowners are again largely satisfied with enforcement levels (78 percent), although again somewhat more consider it to be too much (14 percent) than too little (8 percent). • Code Enforcement: Both locals and second homeowners largely consider code enforcement levels to be about right (75 - 87 percent), while slightly more consider it to be too little (1 I - 15 percent) than too much (3 - 10 percent). • Leash Law Patrols: Leash law patrols are among the more controversial issues for locals, with 42 percent considering patrols to be too little, 23 percent considering them to be about right, and 36 percent considering them to be too much. Most second homeowners consider leash law patrols to be about right (63 percent), with somewhat more preferring more patrolling (25 percent) than less patrolling (13 percent). • Frequency of In-Town Shuttle: Both local residents and second homeowners largely agree that the frequency of in town shuttles is about right (85 - 89 percent), with most of the remainder considering them not frequent enough (I 1 - 13 percent), and only 0 - 2 percent considering them too fiequent. • Frequency of Outlying Bus Services: Locals and second homeowners also agree that existing service levels for outlying busses are about right (75 - 78 percent), although a somewhat greater proportion consider these services to be too infrequent (21 - 23 percent). • Sense of Community: Opinions are fairly split regarding whether the sense of community within the Town has improved, stayed the same, or declined over the past two years, with both locals and second homeowners tending on balance towards a negative assessment. The largest proportions of locals feel that the sense of community has stayed the same (39 percent) or declined (39 percent), while 14 percent feel it has improved and 7 percent don't know or have no opinion. Second homeowners are also more likely to feel the sense of community has gotten worse (25 percent) than gotten better (13 percent), while 39 percent feel it has stayed the same and 23 percent don't know or have no opinion. Ratings of TOV Government Services and Facilities The bulk of the 2000 Community Survey, as in years past, consisted of questions asking respondents to rate their satisfaction with a variety of TOV departmental services and facilities on a five-point scale, where 1 = "not at all satisfied" and 5 = "very satisfied." Figures 8A, 813, and 8C on pages 10 - 12 illustrate the average (mean) responses of local residents in 2000 vs. 1999. Figures 9A, 913, and 9C on pages 13 - 15 provide the same results for second homeowners. In both cases, instances in which there is likely to be a statistically significant difference in the results between 2000 and 1999 are called out, through a notation indicating 80+ percent, 90+ percent, 95+ percent, or 99+ percent confidence that there is a genuine difference (positive or negative) between the two years. Overall, the ratings tend to exhibit a high degree of stability between 2000 and 1999. In many cases the results are quite similar, including a similar rank order of rated items in the various departments. Based on the resident survey results, changes which appear to have occurred in the past two years include slight RRC ASSOCIATES 6 TOWN OF VAIL COMMUNITY SURVEY 2000: OVERVIEW OF RESULTS FOR 7/18/00 COUNCIL REVIEW SESSION improvements in ratings for Information Dissemination, General Administration, and certain aspects of the Community Development Department and Public Works. Slight declines appear to have occurred for certain aspects of the Police and Bus Service. In the second homeowner results, Bus Service ratings also appear to have dropped somewhat, along with the Municipal Court, General Administration, certain aspects of Public Works, and Parking. Conversely, Police ratings show some improvement in the second homeowner results. Results from the departmental ratings and other portions of the survey will be discussed in more detail at the July 18, 2000 Town Council Review Session.
