Lionshead Mixed Use zone districts. Staff's request was in response to
recent discussions regarding the calculation of the average maximum
height from which staff has concluded that further clarification is
necessary to ensure that the intent of the regulation has been met.
Specifically, staff recognized that there are multiple methods of
measuring average maximum height and numerous questions about how
to implement the height calculation. Outlined in Section V of the Planning
and Environmental Commission memorandum, dated Jan. 13, is the
preferred and recommended method of calculation. This request was
brought to the Planning and Environmental Commission for review and
consideration, pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Vail Town Code.
On Jan. 13, following three work session meetings with the Commission
on this topic, the Commission voted unanimously to forward a
recommendation of approval of the proposed amendment to the

Zemier leaves diverse record of achievement
August 19, 2003
Page 1 of 1
Stan Zemler was described as "a bit of anon-traditional candidate" when the Boulder Chamber of Commerce selected him as
president in 1997. There was nothing wrong with that, as the past six years have shown. Zemler's unusual credentials have
been among the keys to his success as a business leader in this unusual city.
Zemler will leave the chamber, and Boulder, this fall to become town manager for the ski resort community of Vail. He'll leave
behind a diverse record of accomplishment in nonprofit environmental work, city government and the business community -
and an impressive ability to bridge the gap between the private and public sectors.
Zemler's background was "non-traditional" for a chamber president in the sense that he hadn't worked in business. In quite a
few other respects, it might have been considered ideal. He knew Boulder, having lived here for decades. He had some
background in management ftom five years as director of the Boulder Energy Conservation Center. He knew city government
well from the inside -and from the top -after serving as Boulder's director of environmental affairs, deputy city manager
and acting city manager.
The business community and city government aren't going to sing in unison all the time, regardless of who runs the chamber,
but Zemler's knowledge and skills helped to open up clearer lines of communication on major issues. He was a voice of
restraint and common sense on the city's "jobs-housing" project, and his influence was visible when the city wisely decided to
scale bads that once-grandiose exercise in planning. He was a consistent voice for regional cooperation in a variety of areas,
including transportation. And whatever his position, Zemler is incisive and direct in presenting it.
We can't deny that Zemler and Vail are a good match. The community offers an outlet for his knowledge of environmental and
economic issues, a great setting for his love of the outdoors, and a new management challenge. Whether Stan Zemler spends
the rest of his working life in Vail, moves on to another assignment or finds his way back to this area, the community will be
better off for his service. Boulder certainly is.

Vail Mayor
TOWN OF VAIL HIRES BOULDER CHAMBER DIRECTOR
AS NEW TOWN MANAGER
(Vail)-The Vail Town Council has selected the President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Boulder Chamber of Commerce to become Vail's new Town Manager. Stan Zemler,
54, will begin full-time employment with the town on Oct. 6. He will be paid. $115,000
annually. His compensation also includes use of the town manager's residence at 2507
Arosa Dr.
Zemler was selected from a field of more than 150 candidates during a national search
process that began in March following the resignation of Bob McLaurin. A 30-year
resident of Boulder, Zemler, who also has extensive city management experience, was
among five finalists interviewed by the Town Council in July, which was followed by a
site visit to Boulder organized by Mayor Ludwig Kurz. A citizen group also participated in
the interview and site visit process. Mayor Kurz said the hiring recommendation from the
Town Council and members of the citizen group have been unanimous. "His reputation
as a proven leader is impeccable," said Kurz. "He's well known and respected in Boulder
for his professionalism, integrity and relationship-building among diverse groups. Those
are the characteristics that will serve us well into the future."
Zemler has nearly 20 years of local leadership experience. As President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce, Zemler has worked to improve
Boulder's economic conditions and is recognized for enhancing and expanding local and
regional relationships involving representatives from the business community, the city
and the University of Colorado.

Prior to his appointment at the Boulder Chamber in 1997, Zemler served as Acting City
Manager for the city of Boulder during a transition period in which he helped the city
council work through a challenging budget period resulting in cuts of $1.5 million.
Zemler also served as Deputy City Manager for Boulder for five years under the
leadership of then City Manager Tim Honey and was the Executive Director of the
Boulder Urban Renewal Authority from 1995-97, where he facilitated attempts to
redevelop an aging shopping mall and orchestrated development of an urban renewal
plan in which Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is being used for a hotel project currently
under construction.
With a bachelor's degree in geography from the University of Colorado at Boulder and
an associate's degree in environmental studies from the College of Marin in Marin
California, Zemler became Director of the Office of Environmental Affairs for Policy and
Program Development for the City of Boulder in 1985. He also was an adjunct professor
at the University of Colorado College of Environmental Design from 1984-92.
Zemler says his interest in becoming Vail's town manager was heightened after reading
a candidate profile circulated by the executive search firm hired by the town. "It seems to
me that with the pending redevelopment projects in the downtown area along with the
conference center approval, Vail seems poised for its next renewal," he said. °My
background and experience seem well suited to help facilitate those opportunities."
Zemler is best known in Boulder for bringing diverse parties together to develop common
solutions that serve a larger interest. Similarly, Zemler says he's looking forward to
applying those skills to address some of Vail's challenges. "For one thing, Vail has a
great town government organization already in place. This will allow me to focus on
other opportunities, such as strengthening local and regional cooperation and improving
the overall economic conditions of Vail. These will be challenging, but exciting issues to
work on."
Bill Jensen, Chief Operating Officer for Vail Mountain, who served on the citizen advisory

panel, says Zemler will work hard to build trust within the community. "Stan brings an
ideal mix of skills to the Vail town manager position. His track record in city government
and the Boulder business community has demonstrated strong leadership skills as a
consensus builder and a reputation as someone who consistently is moving forward."
Mayor Kurz says the .announcement represents one of the most important decisions of
the current Town Council. "We've been very deliberate in this process knowing that the
long term interests of the community will be impacted by our selection. We're extremely
proud of the legacy we've created together for this community.°
Zemler says he considers it to be an "incredible honor" to be named town manager of
the premier ski resort in North America. Upon his arrival, Zemler says his first order of
business will be to listen and learn while getting to know the community.
Along the way, Zemler says he intends to take time to enjoy Vail's quality of life. An avid
skier, cyclists, fly fisherman and hiker, Zemler and his wife, Luann, have three
daughters, twins Stephanie and Lindsey, who attend high school, and Emily, a college
student at American University in Washington, D.C.
Mayor Kurz will introduce Zemler at the Aug. 19 evening Town Council meeting. A
community welcome reception for Zemler and his family will be scheduled this fall.
According to Kurz, Interim Town Manager Pam Brandmeyer will continue to manage the
day to day operations of the town during Zemler's transition. Brandmeyer, Vail's
Assistant Town Manager since 1994, as well as the entire town staff, have worked
tirelessly to keep the town running smoothly, said Kurz. "We are deeply appreciative of
their contributions and we look forward to a smooth transition," he said.
Zemler becomes Vail's sixth town manager since Vail's incorporation in 1966. The
position is one of three hired by the Vail Town Council. The Council also oversees the
hiring of the town attorney and the municipal judge. The executive search firm Wilcox
Miller and Nelson facilitated the hiring process. For additional details, contact Mayor
Kurz at 845-5973. # # #

WORLQ CHAMPIONSHIPS
VAIL I BEAVER CREED(
REQUEST FOR SUPPORT
August 19, 2003
2009 ALPINE SKI
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
VAIL 1 BEAVER CREEK
OVERVIEW:
Background: In the spring of 2002 the Vail Valley Foundation, Vail Resorts and the
United States Ski Team discussed a novel concept; hosting three World Championships
simultaneously in 2009. Throughout the summer and fall of 2002, all key government
and community groups were presented with the idea and strong support was provided in
every meeting. Groups that supported this concept include:
Eagle County Commissioners
Vail Town Council
Beaver Creek Resort Company Directors
Lodging Community
Minturn Town Council
Avon Town Council
Beaver Creek Merchants Association
Eagle Town Council
Vail Valley Tourism and Convention
Vail Chamber
On May 1, 2003 the Foundation officially submitted a bid to host the 2009 World Alpine
Ski Championships. In December of 2003, it is our intention to also submit a bid for the
2009 World Snowboard and Freestyle Championships. The voting members of the
International Ski Federation will make the selection for all hosts of 2009 World
Championships on June 5th, 2004.
Description: The World Alpine Ski Championships have been held in the Vail Valley
twice before, in 1989 and 1999. The Alpine Championships gather together the greatest
skiers from over 40 nations to compete over atwo-week period of time in every alpine
discipline. The Alpine Championships attract more than 800 athletes, 1800 members of
the media, 2000 volunteers and large international sponsors.
In comparison, both the Freestyle and Snowboard Championships are produced on a
much smaller scale. Both of the Championships attract approximately 300 athletes each
and roughly the same number of members of the media.
The Championships represents the highest level of competition. Equal to the Olympics in
many athletes' eyes, there is tremendous prestige in hosting a World Championships. To
host three World Championships together is a feat never considered by other sites and
one that would require much of the community and all partners to produce.
2009 ALPINE SK(
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
VAIL I BEAVER CREEK
ECONOMIC RESULTS FROM 1999 CHAMPIONSHIPS:
1999: In planning for the 1999 World Alpine Ski Championships organizers understood
that it would be a challenge to provide increased business for the two- week period of the
event. Efforts were placed on improving business during the event itself, but organizers
again looked toward future returns to justify the efforts of hosting a second World
Championships.
Economic Impact: In an economic impact study created the year following the 1999
Championships, the following successes were reported:
^ Lodging occupancy rates increased valley wide from an average in 1998 of 67%
to an average for the same time slot of 84% in 1999.
^ At a total event cost of $25 million, $17 million was generated from sources
outside of Colorado.
^ Of the $25 million spent on the 1999 Championships, just over $20 million was
spent in Colorado.
^ Of the $20 million spent in Colorado, $16 million was spent in the Vail Valley
^ Total economic impact to the state of Colorado was over $100 million
^ In a comparison of 1998 to 1999 for the two- week period for the Championships,
sales receipts showed a small percentage of growth. However, for the same time
period Aspen, Steamboat and Breckenridge reported a 10% drop in sales receipts.
Television Impact: Perhaps the most successful measure of the Championships came
from the television and marketing exposure received:
^ There were 22 hours of domestic coverage through the combined efforts of NBC
and ESPN
^ Twelve national television network were on site to cover the Championships live
^ Over 350 hours of programming was produced during the two weeks of the event.
^ 45 countries broadcast to an estimated 400 million people
Long Term Impact: Unfortunately the long- term benefits of hosting the 1999
Championships did not translate to an increase in international guests. In the two years
following the '99 championships the dollar was at an all time high, the snow conditions
in the valley at an all time low and the snow conditions in Europe were the best they had
seen in 7 years. It is felt that these three factor combined greatly affected the hoped for
increase in international guest visits.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
VAIL ( BEAVER CREEK
EXPECTED IMPACTS FOR 2009:
Community: As in 1999, it is expected that these championships would allow all parts of
our diverse community to come together. This has not happened since the 1999
Championships and as the community has become even more fractious over the past
three years, it is important for us to find common causes that can more tightly bind us
together. The World Championships allow us as a community to both foster that which
this community was created for and to celebrate the world's best.
Goal Line: There are many exciting projects being considered up and down the valley
corridor. A 2009 Championships provides a goal line for each community and the county
to look to complete these projects thereby presenting to the world the new face of the
Vail Valley.
Grow Future Customers: By combining the freshness and youth of snowboard and
freestyle with the traditional and strong support for alpine we can attract new customers
to snow sport and to our community. The domestic television opportunities presented
with the snowboard and freestyle championships combined with the strong international
television associated with alpine provide us with a platform in which we can present a
unified image of our community; one that is fresh yet sophisticated.
Revenue Infusion: The expected operations budget for a combined '09 effort exceeds
$36 million. Of this, it is projected that nearly $30 million will come from outside of our
community. It is also expected that much of this revenue will be spent with services and
businesses in Eagle County. In addition, the cost for the television setup, services and
production will exceed $6 million and the majority of this will be spent in the Vail
Valley.
Positioning: The image of the Vail Valley has benefited greatly by the annual support
and hosting of the World Cup. A future World Championship can only reinforce that
image of Vail as a world-class ski resort. In addition, the opportunities to present Vail as
a year round resort is abundant through television bumpers, special features and lead up
stories for the 2009 Championships.
Just six weeks ago, the International Olympic Committee selected Vancouver/Whistler
for the 2010 Olympics. By hosting three world championships in 2009, Vail and Beaver
Creek have the opportunity to take away from Whistler some of that momentum as well
as incur even greater media exposure as a "pre view" event to the Olympics.

Request For Support: The Vail Valley Foundation humbly requests from the Town of
Vail a commitment for cash and in -kind support for the 2009 World Alpine, Snowboard
and Freestyle World Championships.
If Vail/Beaver Creek are selected in June of 2004 to host the World Alpine
Championships alone, or the World Alpine along with either or both the Freestyle and
Snowboard Championships, the VVF kindly requests a cash contribution of $800,000
payable over a five year period of time. In addition, we request in- kind services support
in the form of police, public works and transportation.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Nina Timm
DATE: August 19, 2003
RE: Status of the Enforcement of Employee Housing Units within the Town of Vail
(. Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to provide information the Council has requested regarding the
number of Employee Housing Units (EHUs) that exist within the Town of Vail, and the status of
their enforcement.
II. EHU Count and Deed Restriction Types
EHU count:
As of today, there are 441 approved EHUs that have been constructed within the Town. They
break down as follows:
231 EHUs created prior to Ordinance 9 of 1992. The restrictions do not require owners to
respond to our yearly enforcement letter, nor are the-units required to be occupied.
Additionally, these restrictions are not in perpetuity.
These units include:
198 Timber Ridge units
(With the new deed restriction in place these units will remain affordable, rental
units in perpetuity and the number may increase with future redevelopment.)
33 dispersed units
(i.e. units connected to a private development such as a single family home,
duplex, or condominium complex.)
23 EHUs created between Ordinance 9 of 1992 and Ordinance 14 of 1994. The
restrictions require that owners respond to our yearly enforcement letter, however there is
no requirement that the units be occupied. These restrictions are in perpetuity.
These units include:
23 dispersed units
174 EHUs created between Ordinance 14 of 1994 and Ordinance 6 of 2000. The
restrictions require that owners respond to our yearly enforcement letter, and that the units
be occupied. These restrictions are in perpetuity.
These units include:
53 Vail Commons for-sale units
18 Vail Commons rental units
24 Buzzard Park seasonal units
18 Red Sandstone for-sale units
61 dispersed units
13 EHUs created after Ordinance 6 of 2000. The restrictions require that owners respond
to our yearly enforcement letter with a sworn affidavit, and that the units be occupied.
These restrictions are in perpetuity.)
These units include:
6 North Trail Town Homes for-sale units
7 dispersed units
II1. Current Enforcement
All owners of existing EHUs are sent yearly letters asking for information regarding the use of the
unit for the previous calendar year, regardless of whether or not the deed restriction requires a
response. Deed restrictions that include a requirement that the owner respond state that the
forms must be submitted to our office no later than February 1 of each and every year.
Enforcement letters are sent out in December and are signed by the Town Manager. In the
years 1999 - 2002, afollow-up letter signed by the Town Attorney was sent to all owners who
were required to but failed to respond. For the years 2001 and 2002, after the addition of a full-
time Code Enforcement Officer to the Community Development staff, a third letter was sent via
certified mail to all non-responding owners. This letter indicated that owners who failed to
respond would receive summonses to appear in municipal court for violating the Town Code.
The following table illustrates the responses received by restriction type (please see above for
descriptions) over the past 4 years:
1999 2000 2001 2002

*letters were not sent to Timber Ridge
**a restriction was removed with the approval of Council
**'units increased due to construction schedules (restrictions signed in 2000, CO's in 2002)
It is worth noting that the 100% response rate in 2001 was achieved only after two owners were
required to make court appearances. For 2002, 3 owners have yet to respond and enforcement
is still pending. Current deed restrictions do provide enforcement capabilities through the judicial
system.
IV. Policy Options
With the current success rate of the enforcement effort Council may choose to take no action at
this time.
Other options may include upgrades in the enforcement effort.
/ These upgrades may include actual verification of the individual renters reported
and their employment.
/ In order to make sure that the most current EHU requirements are being met
Council may choose to require that owners update their older deed restrictions to
the most current deed restriction, when a building .permit is applied for.
/ Revise the current deed restriction to provide for more stringent enforcement
efforts.
/ Encourage and publicize aggressive enforcement efforts.
V. Housing Authority Recommendations
The Housing Authority believes that increased incentives will increase the number of EHUs built
as well as increase the enforceability of the deed restriction. At this point in time the greatest
incentive appears to be additional floor area. The additional floor area provided to the EHU does
not make it worth its while with today's costs; additional floor area for the primary unit needs to be
considered.
Allowing an owner to "buy-out", at fair market value, their deed restriction may also be a valuable
tool. This would allow owners to pay a fee equal to the fair market rate of the EHU square
footage and have the deed restriction removed. This provides owners with an opportunity to rid
them of the EHU requirement which may no longer be an asset to them as well as provide the
Housing Authority with funding to create new EHUs that will be occupied appropriately. This
option will need further discussion because it may create a number of unintended consequences,
especially non-conforming units.
Revising the current deed restriction and improving the enforcement capabilities would be a first
step in maintaining the occupancy of deed restricted units. Additionally, actual verification of
residency and employment of EHU occupants would further provide the Town with accurate
information regarding the use of existing EHUs. It is important to note that in the spring of 2003
the Housing Assistant position was eliminated. A primary function of that position was
enforcement of EHUs.
The Vail Local Housing Authority would like to discuss additional incentives and changes to the
Employee Housing Unit regulations as well as commercial and residential linkage requirements.

1. Project Planning Phase
2. Infonration and Data Collection Phase
3. Analysis Phase
4. Draft Report Phase
5. Final Report Phase
Project Planning Phase
.,~.
Within flour weeks of award of contract, Mr. Ludwig will attend a kickoff meeting with the
appropriate officials from Vail Valley to:
(a) Identify the Vail Valley's critical EMS success factors and key ~agement objectiyeS
.for each task.
(b) Verify key personnel to be interviewed and determine a tentative schedule for
int®rviews, data gathering for each task.
(c) Establish a firm. project schedule to be followoed.
(d) Obtain i~pies of relevant documents surroundin the
9 operation of the EMS system
(i.e. budget, regulations, ordinances, SOPs, run data, past studies (etc,)
The Ludwig Group will coordinate with all core group members to develop a detailed plan
of action, assign tasks, and develop a schedule of events.

lnfonrtiat~on and Data Collection Phase.
After review of the information collected, Mr. Ludwig wilLtravel to the Vail Valley to duct
a comprehensive analysis, including conducting interviews, discuss statistical information,
review planning documents, and goals with the key stakeholders in Vail Valley.
The estimated time required to gather the (necessary information and data is approximately
one week or Tess.
Analysis Phase
The information collected and the findings will be analyzed and recommendations
developed. It may be necessary to request additional information from the various
emergency agencies in Vail Valley as the information is processed.
Daft Report Phaso
The ProjecirConsultarrtwlll compile the information, data analysis and recommendations
into a dra~ report for key officialsto review.
Final Report Phase
Issues addressed during the draft phase of the report will be modified in the report and the
final report will be bound and presented to the appropriate officials.
If necessary, at a later time, Mr. Ludwig will make a presentation to officials determined by
the appropriate agencies in Vail Valley,
.~
Approach to Study
As part of this analysis, The Ludwig Group will look at the history of the delivery system
and assess the current status with regard to the EMS delivery program.
The modem model for delivery of erra~rgency medical services (EMS) has been evolving
since the mid-1 COs. Throughout the country, during this 30+ year evolutionary process,

systems have developed to the point that are° cornrranly accep- sttandard~ or
benchmarks that can be used to describe EMS systems and to evaluate them, j~~sa
industry benchmarks originate in a variety of sources and. serve.:. as the conceptual
framework for this system analysis. Ali of the benchmarks in this proposal ran be fa rid, in
various forms, in the original "?5 Essential Components of art. EMS System' that wire
identified in the federal EMS legislation of 1973, and: in the new "90 EMS System
Standards" used currenthr by the U.S. Department of Transportatron (1995) to evaluate
state EMS systems. In addition, thane benchmarks can also be :found:: in the standards of
the .Commission on Acct~editatiort of Ambulance Services (1994) and- in the EMS
accreditation standards developed by tfte /ntemational Association of Fig Chiefs (1995)
and in the contracting guidelines developed by the American Ambulance Association.
Therefore here are commonly accepted benchmarks or °best practices° as they have
been laid .down as a foundation for the analysis of any EMS operation,
Key areas for evaluation will be as follows:
Organization and Management Structure
System Regulation and Policy
Analysis and Planning
Human Resources and Staffing
Quality Improvement/Quality Assu~anc~/Professionai Standanis
Public Education, Information, Resources (PIER)
Medical Oversght/Control/Direction

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Pam Brandmeyer, Interim Town Manager
RE: Town Manager's Report
DATE: August 19, 2003
CDOT'S 2030 STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
CDOT has asked NWCCOG to orchestrate 31 individual meetings with elected
officials of municipalities with populations of less than 5,000 to discuss their 2030
Statewide Transportation Plan. I have scheduled 30 minutes at the work session
on September 2nd for Gary Severson and a representative of CDOT to make this
presentation. At that time they will discuss how the plan will be put together, as
well as invite the town to participate. In your packet for this meeting, staff will
include atwo-fold brochure about the process and a list of questions that should
help solicit input about concerns this community may have.
TOV PROPERTY ACQUISITION
The Town has applied for a Treasurer's Deed to acquire 6.36 acres of land due
north of Cortina Lane. This property was designated as a high priority acquisition
in the 1994 Open Lands Plan.
VAIL PASS COMMERCIAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY INSPECTIONS
On August 4-5, members of the Colorado State Patrol Motor Carrier Safety office,
assisted by officers of the Vail Police Department, conducted two days of
commercial motor carrier safety inspections within the Vail town limits. For safety
concerns, the checkpoint was set up at the chain-up area located at milepost 178
on eastbound I-70. Here are some statistics:
29 trucks were inspected (14 level 1 and 15 level 2 inspections)
19 interstate carriers
10 intrastate carriers
Of the 10 intrastate carriers, 7 were local companies
2 drivers were placed out of service
3 vehicles were placed out of service
No "jake brake" muffler violations were observed
Level 1 inspections consist of a thorough inspection of the driver and all paperwork,
load/cargo, and a full equipment check including the undercarriage of the vehicle.
Level 2 inspections exclude the undercarriage.
Attached is a photo of the noise related signage erected at milepost 180 on
westbound I-70.
FIRE ALARM SERVICES
The council had requested that staff look into whether the current false alarm
ordinance (Ord. 15, 1999) provides sufficient penalties to allow the Fire Department
and/or Police Department to come down on parties who cause unnecessary
expense to the department and the town in responding to false alarms. Based
upon my research and discussions with the Fire Chief, it appears that the
ordinance does contain an adequate penalty provision and that it has not been
enforced to its full extent solely because of policy reasons.
More specifically, the .current ordinance provides the Fire Department with wide
latitude regarding enforcement. There are a variety of enforcement options
available to the Fire and Police Departments to deal with false alarms, including 1)
requiring recertification of the alarm system; 2)requiring confirmation and/or
verification by telephone prior to initiating emergency response; and 3) requiring a
conference with an alarm agent, company or system owner to review the cause
and circumstances of each false alarm and initiate and complete mitigation steps to
assure future compliance.
More importantly, however, the current scheme allows for the issuance of a
summons and complaint for any false alarm regardless of the type (malicious,
accidental, malfunction etc..) Upon conviction of violating the ordinance, penalties
may be assessed pursuant to applicable law. Our code would allow for penalties to
include up to 180 days in jail and a $999 fine for each violation and each violation
is held to be a separate offense each day. I also believe that the Departments
would be able to seek restitution as part of any conviction as well.
