ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with conditions, or deny Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2002, on first reading. BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On May 20, 1997, recognizing the importance of visual connections, the Town Council approved the use of the existing Town of Vail view corridor ordinance to designate the first protected public view corridors in Lionshead. In order to qualify for protection under the Town's ordinance, a view corridor must meet the following criteria: a: The proposed view corridor protects and perpetuates a view from public pedestrian areas, public ways, or public spaces within the Town which fosters civic pride and is in the public interest for the Town. b. The proposed view corridor protects and enhances the Town's attraction to residents, guests, and property owners. c. The proposed view corridor protects a view which is commonly recognized and has inherent qualities which make it more valuable to the Town than other more common views. The Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan identifies five view corridors. However, it recommends that only two legally protected view corridors be established. The remaining three views are to be established as critical design parameters, not as benchmarked and F:mcaster//Tcmeet/2002/071602 surveyed corridors. Lionshead View Corridor 1 is seen from the west end of the Lionshead parking structure, standing at street level at the main pedestrian exit, looking southwest toward the gondola lift line.

Final estimate of costs MEMORANDUM TO: Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: July 16, 2002 SUBJECT: A request to proceed through the Town of Vail development review process for the proposed construction of improvements on Town of Vail property, located at 540 South Frontage Road/Unplatted (Ford Park). Applicant: Betty Ford Alpine Gardens Planner: Bill Gibson I. SUBJECT PROPERTY The subject property is Ford Park, located at 540 South Frontage Road/Unplatted. The property is zoned General Use District (GU). II. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST The Betty Ford Alpine Gardens is proposing to construct an addition and deck on the rear of the existing schoolhouse located in Ford Park. Since these improvements are proposed for property leased by the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens but owned by the Town of Vail, the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens must have permission from the Town Council, acting as the property owner, to proceed through the development review process. For your reference, please find attached conceptual drawings of the proposed improvements to the schoolhouse at Ford Park. III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department recommends that the Town Council approve this request to proceed through the development review process. Please note that an approval of this request does not constitute an approval of the proposed improvements, it simply allows the applicant to proceed through the development review process. The Council will be informed of the status of the proposal through periodic updates of the DRB meetings. L i /' i~ ~ ~ ~± +` t ~~} ~ ~ r f~ j i I ~~ ='-f r-°---~ I 1! ' 1 1 t ~~ { +..__._._ ~ ~_._.'

The office phone, in particular, will be used to confirm voter registrations with the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder. SPECIAL EVENTS BANNER POLES IN THE VILLAGE Because access to local groups wishing to hang special events banners was initially denied prior to the Fourth, staff is requesting direction from Council to install banner poles at the corner of Bridge and Gore. When not displaying special events banners, the poles will hang flags. Both placements will occur on public right-of-way. TOWN OF VAIL BENCH DEDICATION PROGRAM Attached to this report is an application for the TOV Bench Dedication Program. Rod has suggested adding the following wording to line 10..."and so on. The location of the bench will be strictly at the discretion of the Town of Vail." Staff is requesting even clearer direction on where the benches may be placed, e.g., not in front of restaurants unless written permission has been received from owner, in order to better respond to requests for purchase of these benches. All bench placements will continue to occur on public right-of-way. TOWN SHOPS REMODEL Request for Qualification Proposals from General Contractors are due Thursday, July 11th at Noon. Each Contractor will be scored according to the RFQ criteria and a "shortlist" of contractors will be determined no later than Friday, July 12th. Completed construction documents will be sent out to the shortlist contractors by that afternoon and the project will be hard bid. Bids on the project will be due by August 1st and evaluated in order to have a Contractor recommendation to Council .by August 6th. Construction is scheduled to begin near the end of August. I-70 Video Installation Over the past several months, we have worked with an independent contractor and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to explore the possibility of tapping into a live video feed from Vail Pass and other critical areas along the I-70 corridor. As envisioned, this feed would provide real-time road condition information to our residents and guests via cable Channel 19 and the town's Web site (similar to what was done in Breckenridge last season). CDOT is proposing to expand its camera system by installing three cameras on Vail Pass. Other cameras are already in place at Silverthorne, Eisenhower Tunnel, Georgetown and Idaho Springs. For our part, we need cone-time expenditure of $54,141 to cover the procurement and installation of T-1 lines and all applicable hardware to run the system to Vail. Following installation, a monthly operational fee of $3,400 is required to cover the T-1 lines from Vail to Denver. Because this project is a new service, it would be inappropriate to draw from existing operating revenues to cover this ongoing cost. Therefore, I am recommending the project pay its own way via community sponsorships that would be sold and acknowledged on the cable channel. These "sponsorships" would be undertaken by the independent contractor, Alpine Vista Productions, a1 no risk to the town. If this approach proves unsuccessful, a future option is to recommend authorization of a 50-cent per month surcharge on AT&T cable bills to cover the operational costs. As I have mentioned previously, we intend to place video monitors at the parking structures and elsewhere to assist our many guests and residents who will have the ability to utilize this service to adjust their departure schedules. If you would like to proceed with this project it would be necessary to appropriate $54,141 to fund the hardware and installation of the equipment. I also need an indication of your willingness to have this program self-funding. Please advise me as to how you 'd like me to proceed on this matter. National Recognition Vail's Premier Impressions program, the guest service recognition effort that promotes, rewards and measures customer service in Vail, is receiving national attention. The program has been named a finalist by the City-County Communications and Marketing Association in a national competition which recognizes outstanding local government achievements in communications, public sector marketing and citizen-government relationships. Premier Impressions is sponsored locally by the Town of Vail, Vail Chamber and Business Association, Vail Valley Chamber & Tourism Bureau, Vail Resorts and the Vail Daily. Since the program's inception, Vail's guest service scores have shown measurable improvement. A copy of our award entry is enclosed which outlines the program's goals and results. OUT OF THE OFFICE I plan to be out of the office from Friday, August 2, through Wednesday, August 7, 2002. During that time, Pam Brandmeyer will be acting town manager.

With more terrain and more skiers than any other mountain in North America, as well as one of the most innovative traffic management systems in the country, Vail has built a reputation as an industry leader and thriving community. So, in 1999 when Vail dropped from its long-standing No. 1 ski resort ranking to the No. 4 position, the community was stunned. Vail had been knocked out of its No. 1 position by readers of Ski Magazine. Specifically, the coveted annual survey gave Vail extremely low marks in the guest service category. Because skiing serves as Vail's largest economic engine, generating nearly 70 percent of municipal revenues, the need to better serve Vail's guests was recognized as a top priority. Acknowledging amuch-needed "kick in the pants," the community moved from one of admitted complacency to action. A goal was immediately established to return Vail to the No. 1 ranking, through a comprehensive customer service program called Premier Impressions. Now in its second full year, the program promotes, rewards and measures customer service on a community-wide basis. As such, it is the only one of its kind in the country. More importantly, Vail's guest service ratings are on the increase and are contributing to a predicted return to the No. 1 ranking in October. Program Description Following the news of Vail's decline from No. 1 to No. 4, a resort-wide partnership was formed between the Town of Vail; the operator of the ski mountain, Vail Resorts, Inc.; and the two dominant tourism and business groups, the Vail Chamber and Business Association and the Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau. Additionally, the local newspaper, the Vail Daily, joined the partnership. Together, the coordinating group established goals and developed strategies to address the decline in Vail's customer service. The strategies include three main components: 1) development of customer service standards; 2) creation of a large-scale employee recognition program; and 3) the introduction of a customer service evaluation program. Called Premier Impressions, the program. is used to inform, train, motivate, measure and reward Vail's merchants and employees. The program.is delivered to an estimated 5,000 employees who make contact with as many as 1.2 million guests during the ski season. Specific components are described as follows: • Resort-wide Customer Service Standards Guest service standards that are effective and easy to remember have been used as the basis for the Premier Impressions program components, including evaluation and recognition. These standards serve as the core curriculum in community-wide and in- house guest service training. The seven H.A.V.E.F.U.N. principles also are visible on nomination forms, advertisements, news articles and letterhead to reinforce Vail's customer service standards. Hello to everyone Friendly experiences Attitude that is positive Ultimate impressions-thank you! Value every guest No. 1 in the minds of our guests Educated, knowledgeable service Employee Recognition Program The Premier Employee Award recognizes employees who exceed customer expectations. From mid-November to late March, Vail employees are eligible to be . nominated by guests, coworkers and employers for providing outstanding guest service. Winners receive recognition in the newspaper, a $25 food gift certificate and are entered into an end-of-season drawing for grand prizes, including $5,000 cash. • Customer Service Evaluations The Secret Shopping program is used to measure Vail's overall customer service. In all, the program evaluates 350 Vail businesses during the course of the ski season. Shoppers specifically measure employees on the seven core customer service standards. In 2000-01, a benchmark measurement was set. This rating is now used to compare the level of increase from one ski season to the next. The program also offers the opportunity for individual businesses to independently arrange for additional secret shopping measurements. Project Goals Together, these three components are the backbone of the following six goals: Goal 1: Create and implement resort-wide guest service standards to deliver consistent customer service practices throughout Vail Results: Seven guest service standards were developed and serve as the basis for the Premier Impressions program components, including evaluation and recognition. They are: Hello to everyone Attitude that is positive Value every guest Educated, knowledgeable service Friendly experiences Ultimate impressions-thank you! No. 1 in the minds of our guests Since implementation of the resort-wide standards, Vail's "intent to return" customer measurement has increased from 91 percent in 2000 to 94 percent in 2001. Goal 2: , Create acommunity-wide customer service measurement. Result: The secret shopping program provided Vail with a benchmark to measure overall community-wide customer service based on the H.A.V.E.F.U.N. guest service standards. Vail received an overall rating of 66.5 percent for customer service in 2000-01. This benchmark is used to evaluate Vail's employee guest service strengths, weaknesses and areas that need improvement. (See Attachment A- 2000-01 End-of-season results) Goal 3: Create an immediate incentive for individual employees to want to make a difference in exceeding customer expectations. Results: The Premier Employee Award provides timely recognition of employees who make lasting impressions on Vail's guests.

Employees also are motivated to be consistently on their toes because of the possibility of being secretly shopped. Secret shoppers often nominate employees for the award. Together, these incentives have succeeded in generating over 330 nominations during the 2001-02 ski season; creating an environment where delivering good customer service is the norm rather than the expectation. (See Attachment B- Advertisement, Releases) . Goal 4: Use partnerships to create widespread awareness and participation. Results: With a target audience of over 5,000 employees and approximately 1.2 million guests; multiple strategies were used to create awareness and encourage participation.

Vail now has a tool that will encourage employees to develop a proud tradition of quality customer service for years to come. And, there are strong indications that Vail will reclaim its No. 1 ranking later in the year. APPENDIX Project Budget The Premier Impressions program budget for 2001-02 is $30,000.

Additional administrative assistance is provided by the Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau. 2002 3CMA Savvy Awards Competition PREMIER IMPRESSIONS PROGRAM VAIL, COLORADO Problem/ Opportunity Since the 1980s Vail, Colorado, has been considered to be the "granddaddy" of ski resorts. With more terrain and more skiers than any other mountain in North America, as well as one of the most innovative traffic management systems in the country, Vail has built a reputation as an industry leader and thriving community. So, in 1999 when Vail dropped from its long-standing No. 1 ski resort ranking to the No. 4 position, the community was stunned. Vail had been knocked out of its No. 1 position by readers of Ski Magazine. Specifically, the coveted annual survey gave Vail extremely low marks in the guest service category. Because skiing serves as Vail's largest economic engine, generating nearly 70 percent. of municipal revenues, the need to better serve Vail's guests was recognized as a top priority. Acknowledging amuch-needed"kick in the pants," the community moved from one of admitted complacency to action. A goal was immediately established to return Vail to the No. 1 ranking through a comprehensive customer service program called Premier Impressions. Now in its second full year, the program promotes, rewards and measures customer service on a community-wide basis. As such, it is the only one of its. kind in the country. More importantly, Vail's guest service ratings are on the increase and are contributing to a predicted return to the No. 1 ranking in October. Program Description Following the news of Vail's decline from No. 1 to No. 4, a resort-wide partnership was formed between the Town of Vail; the operator of the ski mountain, Vail Resorts, Inc.; and the two dominant tourism and business groups, the Vail Chamber and Business Association and the Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau. Additionally, the local newspaper, the Vail Daily, joined the partnership. Together, the coordinating group . established goals and developed strategies to address the decline in Vail's customer service. The strategies include three main components: 1) development of customer service standards; 2) creation of a large-scale employee recognition program; and 3) the introduction of a customer service evaluation program. Called Premier Impressions, the program is used to inform, train, motivate, measure and reward Vail's merchants and employees. The program is delivered to an estimated 5,000 employees. who make contact with as many as 1.2 million guests during the ski season. Specific components. are described as follows: • Resort-wide Customer Service Standards Guest service standards that are effective and easy to remember have been used as the basis for the Premier Impressions program components, including evaluation and recognition. These standards serve as the core curriculum in community-wide and in- house guest service training. The seven H.A.V.E.F.U.N. principles also are visible on nomination forms, advertisements, news articles and letterhead to reinforce Vail's customer service standards.. Hello to everyone Friendly experiences Attitude that is positive Ultimate impressions-thank you! Value every guest No. 1 in the minds of our guests Educated, knowledgeable service • Employee Recognition Program The Premier Employee Award recognizes employees who exceed customer expectations. From mid-November to late March, Vail employees are eligible to be nominated by guests, coworkers and employers for providing outstanding guest service. Winners receive recognition in the newspaper, a $25 food gift certificate and are entered into an end-of-season drawing for grand prizes, including $5,000 cash. • Customer Service Evaluations The Secret Shopping program is used to measure Vail's overall customer service. In all, the program evaluates 350 Vail businesses during the course of the ski season. Shoppers specifically measure employees on the seven core customer service standards. In 2000-01, a benchmark measurement was set. This rating is now used to compare the level of increase from one ski season to the next. The program also offers the opportunity for individual businesses to independently arrange for additional secret shopping measurements. Project Goals Together, these three components are the backbone of the following six goals: Goal 1: Create and implement resort-wide guest service standards to deliver consistent customer service practices throughout Vail. Results: Seven guest service standards were developed and serve as the basis for the Premier Impressions program components, including evaluation and recognition. They are: Hello to everyone Friendly experiences Attitude that is positive Ultimate impressions-thank you! Value every guest No. 1 in the minds of our guests Educated, knowledgeable service Since implementation of the resort-wide standards, Vail's "intent to return" customer measurement has increased from 91 percent in 2000 to 94 percent in 2001. Goal 2: Create acommunity-wide customer service measurement. Result: The secret shopping program provided Vail with a benchmark to measure overall community-wide customer service based on the H.A.V.E.F.U.N. guest service standards.
