Town Council serves the role of "property owner" for all Town of Vail
owned property. As the property owner, the Town Council must

review process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

review process. Please note that an approval of this request does
not constitute an explicit approval of the proposed improvements;
it only authorizes the applicants to proceed through the Town's
development review process.
8. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: First Reading of an Ordinance No. #2, Series of

forth details in regard thereto. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, amend, or deny
Ordinance No. #2, Series 2005, on first reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: These amendments were
requested by staff to allow the Town Manager and/or the Chief of
Police flexibility to re-route the carriages when needed due to
construction and changes in the carriage staging area. The
amendments will also increase the penalty assessment for a first
violation of this section of the Vail Town Code from $5.00 to
$50.00.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve, or approve with
amendments, Ordinance No. #2, Series 2005, on first reading.
9. Bill Gibson ITEM/TOPIC: Second reading of Ordinance No. 17, Series of
2004, an ordinance amending Special Development District #4,
Cascade Village, to allow for the creation of Development Area E,
located at Tract K, Glen Lyon Subdivision, and setting forth details
in regard thereto. (5 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Table the second reading of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2004, to
May 3, 2005.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE:
On July, 12, 2004, the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental
Commission voted 4-2 to forward a recommendation of approval,
with conditions, for the proposed amendments to Special
Development District #4, Cascade Village.
On August 3, 2004, the Town Council approved the first reading of
Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2004, with a condition requiring
resolution of issues related to the Protective Covenants of Glen
Lyon Subdivision, by a vote of 7-0. On August 17 and October 5,
2004, the Town Council tabled the second reading of Ordinance
No. 17, Series of 2004, to allow Vail Resorts additional time to
resolve the covenant issues. The outstanding covenant issues
have not yet been resolved; therefore, Vail Resorts is requesting
the second reading of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2004, again be
tabled to a future Town Council meeting.
10. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: Second Reading of Ordinance No. #23, Series
2004. An ordinance amending the Vail Town Code regarding the
jurisdiction of the Town of Vail Municipal Court and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (5 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve Ordinance No.
#23, Series 2004, on second reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: A recently decided Colorado
Supreme Court case (Town of Frisco v. Baum, 90 P. 3d 845
(Colo. 2004), appears to have expanded the jurisdiction of the
municipal court in certain home rule municipalities that have
adopted charter language granting themselves "exclusive and
original" jurisdiction. More specifically, the Supreme Court's
decision upheld the ruling of the District Court, that it lacked
jurisdiction over a C.R.C.P. Rule 106 appeal of a zoning decision
and that such cases are the jurisdiction of the municipal court.
Since the Town of Vail has also adopted such charter language
and since our belief is that the municipal court is NOT the proper
venue for these matters, Ordinance 23, 2004, operates to limit the
jurisdiction of the Town of Vail Municipal Court to handling criminal
matters.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Ordinance No. #23,
Series 2004, on second reading.
11. Lorelei DonaldsonlTEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. #1, Series 2005. (10 min.)

and Environmental Commission, Design Review Board, and other
boards, commissions, and authorities of the Town of Vail.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with
amendments or deny Resolution No. 1, Series of 2005.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Pursuant to Section 24~-
402(2)(c) of the C.R.S. as amended, provides that local public
bodies must give full and timely notice to the public of any
meetings at which the adoption of any proposed policy, position,
resolution, rule, regulation, or formal action occurs at which a
majority or quorum of the body is in attendance, or is expected to
be in attendance.

reconstruct Seibert Circle area as part of the Village Streetscape

BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Streetscape Design
Committee, assisted by Wenk Associates and Joe Kracum, set
out to develop a new design concept for Seibert Circle which
would have 4-season appeal, be a gathering and seating area,
and create a new "post card" image for the town. The Streetscape
Design Committee has developed such a concept for the inclusion
in the Village Streetscape project.
The proposed concept incorporates a European inspired feature
with the four-season attraction of water fountains and fire features
into Seibert Circle. The intent of this feature is to honor Vail's
legacy. A variety of approaches for this important honor have
been suggested including commemoration of the 10th Mountain
Division and a broader theme of honoring the history of the
community and the Vail Valley. In addition to the main feature,
warming /fire features are incorporated to promote gathering and
numerous additional seating opportunities are created with the
proposed concept.
Images of the proposed concept are attached along with the
estimated cost of relocating the Morales piece and constructing
the new concept. The estimated costs and process of
construction are further clarified with a series of phasing studies
outlining the proposed schedule of the project.

relocate the Morales art piece to a location still to be determined

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Conference Center
Advisory Committee is requesting permission to proceed through

the project is adequate.
7. Elizabeth Eckel ITEM/TOPIC: An appeal of the Design Review Board (DRB)
denial of the proposed locations and backlighting of the Vail
Happenings Signs (DRB05-0028), located at Slifer Plaza, The

Stop, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (15 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Uphold, modify, or overturn
the DRB's denial of an application for final review of proposed
locations and backlighting of the Vail Happenings Signs, located
at Slifer Plaza, The Children's Fountain, Crossroads Mall, and the
Lionshead Bus Stop.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On May 21, 2003, the DRB
approved an application submitted by the appellant to erect four
metal "public information signs" (one of which was already
erected) at the following locations; Slifer Plaza, The Children's
Fountain, Crossroads Mall, and the Lionshead Bus Stop. The
DRB approved the application with two conditions: that there be
no lighting and that the signs were temporary. On February 1,
2005, the appellant submitted an application to backlight all four
signs. Staff reviewed the Design Review Board's previous
conditions of approval and determined the proposal's lack of
compliance with the standards of Title 11, Section 11-2-1. The
Staff therefore denied the application on February 16, 2005.
Staff rescinded the denial previously issued to the appellant and
allowed the appellant to appear before the Design Review Board
on March 2, 2005. On March 2, 2005, the Design Review Board
denied the appellant's proposal to backlight the Vail Happenings
signs that are installed at the aforementioned locations on the
basis that public information signs should not be exempt from the
standards to which all other signs in the Town are held
accountable, including backlighting.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development
Department recommends that the Town Council uphold the
DRB's denial of the application for final review of proposed
locations and backlighting of the Vail Happenings Signs, located
at Slifer Plaza, The Children's Fountain, Crossroads Mall, and the
Lionshead Bus Stop.

proposed districts (which is contained in the council packets and

Gen Wright an ordinance repealing and re-enacting Ordinance No. #8, Series
of 1995, Cascade Village, amending and re-establishing the
approved development plan for the Westhaven Condominiums
site located within Area A of SDD No. 4, in accordance with
Section 12-9A-10, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of
thirteen dwelling units; and setting forth details in regard thereto.
(30 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with
modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 12, Series of 2005.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On February 8 and April 11, 2005,
the Town of Vail Planning & Environmental Commission (PEC)
held public hearings to consider a request for a major amendment
to a special development district (SDD) pursuant to Section 12-
9A-10, Amendment Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for an
amendment to Special Development District No. 4, Cascade
Village, for an approved development plan of a new condominium
building, located at 1325 Westhaven Drive /(Westhaven
Condominiums, aka, "The Ruins")/Area A, Cascade Village, and
setting forth details in regard thereto. Upon consideration of the
request, the Commission voted 6-0-1 (Viele recused) to forward a
recommendation of approval with conditions of the applicant's
request to the Vail Town Council. A copy of the staff
memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission,
dated April 11, 2005, with revised conditions has been attached
for reference.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development
Department is recommending that the Town Council approves
Ordinance No. 12, Series of 2005, upon first reading.
7. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: First reading of Ordinance #13, Series of 2005. An
ordinance providing certain amendment to Title 3, Chapter 4,
"Design Review Board," of the Municipal Code of the Town of Vail;
Changing the composition of the Design Review Board (DRB)
from five to seven members; and setting forth details in regard
thereto. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with
amendments or deny Ordinance #13, Series of 2005, on first
reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Town Council requested an
ordinance that would change the composition of the design review
board from five members to seven members.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff has reviewed this proposal
with the Design Review Board and has the following
recommendations:
1. Increasing the number of DRB members to 7 will increase the
time and complexity of the DRB review process. It will be
more difficult to come to consensus on issues to be addressed
for proposed projects subject to DRB approval. If the primary
concern is attendance, then staff would recommend
reasonably enforcing attendance. The Town Council has
latitude to remove members that have attendance issues.
2. Although the town was very fortunate to find a number of
qualified members for the last round of interviews for DRB, this
has not always been the case.
3. In considering the above mentioned issues, both the existing
DRB and staff recommend not approving Ordinance 13, Series
of 2005. Staff would recommend that regular attendance
reports are provided to the Vail Town Council and if
attendance is an issue with individual members, then the Town
Council should take appropriate action.
4. If the Town Council, chooses to approve Ordinance 13, Series
of 2005 staff would request authorizing approximately $1,900
in the next supplemental budget to pay for benefits (ski
passes, parking passes) and expenses (lunches) associated
with two additional board members.
8. Warren Campbell ITEM/TOPIC: Second Reading of Ordinance No. #10, Series of

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with
modifications, or deny Ordinance No. #10, Series of 2005, on
second reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On April 19, 2005, the Town
Council approved with modifications the first reading of
Ordinance #10, Series of 2005. Staff has revised the Ordinance
to change the time period in which the appeal's board has to
respond from ten days to two days.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development
Department, Public Works Department, and Community
Information Office recommends that the Town Council approves
Ordinance No. #10, Series of 2005, on second reading.
9. George Ruther ITEM/TOPIC: Second Reading of Ordinance No. #11, Series of
2005, an ordinance amending Section 12-14-14, Restaurants,
Bars, and Similar Uses, Vail Town Code, and setting for details in
regard thereto. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with
modifications, or deny the first reading of Ordinance No. #11,
Series of 2005.

conflicts relating to noise regulations in the Vail Town Code.
On April 19, 2005, the Vail Town Council unanimously approved
Ordinance No. #11, Series of 2005 upon first reading with no
modifications
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development

17, Series of 2004. The applicant is request that the Town
Council table the second reading of Ordinance No. #17, Series of
2004, to June 21, 2005.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On July 12, 2004 the Town of Vail
Planning and Environmental Commission voted 4-2 to forward a
recommendation of approval, with conditions, for the proposed
amendments to Special Development District #4, Cascade Village.
On August 3, 2004 by a vote of 7-0 the Town Council approved
the first reading of Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2004, with a
condition that the applicant, Vail Resorts, resolve any issues
related to the Protective Covenants of Glen Lyon Subdivision,

Town Council tabled the second reading of Ordinance No. 17,
Series of 2004, to allow the applicant additional time to resolve
issues related to the protective covenants. The outstanding

With the uncertainty of the exact parade route and the challenges
faced in staging the parade due to construction, we are hoping to

more continuously through town. Our goal is to emphasize the
after-parade experience in Ford Park with a family-friendly
afternoon of continuous entertainment culminating with a live
simulcast of the fireworks display with a regional orchestra staged
in Ford Park. We are working with the Vail Valley Foundation on
use of the Amphitheater as well. If you have any suggestions or
comments, please contact Laurie Asmussen at 376-3756.

current loan to TRAHC - 1.5% annual interest; maturity date
December 1, 2032; repayable from project revenues; subordinate
to 2003A and 2003B bonds; no penalty for early repayment

rent and increasing interest rates, The TRAHC board has

additional units, annual rental income will increase by
approximately $500,000 which the TRAHC board believes will be
sufficient to cover annual obligations.

TRAHC under the same terms and conditions as the existing
promissory note.
10. ITEM/TOPIC: Town Manager's Report (10 min.)
r Art in Public Places (AIPP) Update on Jesus Moroles' Granite
Amphitheatre
Although the artist was disappointed the town hired local
contractors to remove the sculpture, Moroles will work with AIPP
to relocate the Granite Amphitheatre. The Seibert Circle project
renovation schedule required the demolition of the area in April.
Moroles' crew was not available until September to de-install the
sculpture. Using local contractors resulted in a small cost savings.
AIPP has established a committee to examine potential sites and
set project parameters. The committee will work closely with the
artist to determine the future layout of the sculpture. The artist's
crew will provide re- installation.

should have been requested during the regular '05 Council
contribution process. Staff has already approved $1500 in kind for
previously unidentified police back up. Further, this town
sponsored event is funded by $60,000 from CSE. Staff
recommends funding this in kind request.
$4020 in kind staff recommendation.
D. Vail Mountain Rescue
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vail Mountain Rescue will be
hosting the VMRG Symposium 2005, June 15 through June 18.
An-kind request for bus transportation for participants to and from
field events (outside of TOV) has been made.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes this would set an
inpactful precedent for future conference organizers. Other
conferences that book out of district services pay charter rates
and in the case of a Vail specific conference, e.g., Future
Business Leaders of America this group paid charter rates for
additional in town service. Staff does not recommend funding.
TOV -CAPITAL PROJECTS
A. Westhaven Circle and Greenhill Court Road Project
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Originally in 2005 Westhaven
Circle and Greenhill Court were scheduled for mil and overlay.
Then major drainage issues came up. Currently there is a budget
of $700K, the estimate from B&B came in at $753K for Phase I,
which covers the majority of Westhaven Circle and no
contingency. Public Works is asking for $100K to complete Phase
I; however, pricing is good from B&B and the last phase up
through Greenhill Court will complete the project without road
repairs taking an additional summer. Public Works is requesting
$365K to do both phases in 2005, thus taking into consideration
the neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Public works is planning on
reducing Capital Street Maintenance dollars in 2007 by the
$365,000 in order to complete this project in 2005. Staff
recommends funding this project in 2005 to complete both
phases.
B. Cascade Village Metropolitan District (CVMD)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A request for additional capital
improvements for the Cascade Village Skier Bridge and the
Westhaven Drive Bridge was requested on April 19, 2005, Council
work session. At that time additional questions were asked by
council and CVMD was asked to return on June 7 with these
answers during the mid-cycle review process. Currently the Gore
Valley Trail has no easements or maintenance agreements with
the town and this was the Public Works Department initial goal
when staff contacted CVMD in March of 2003.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding this
project from RETT. The community benefits and opportunity to
partner with another organization who will be primarily subsidizing
the improvements, make this a win win situation for both parites.

existing program and design while reducing costs to a reasonable
extent possible. This step involves moving forward with the
development of the existing design and reviewing it with Town

BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The TRAHC board came to the
Vail Town Council on May 17, 2005, to request a loan of $700,000
to cover under-funded operating accounts as well as funds to
remediate 44 additional units for lease to Vail Associates. The

a Request for Proposals (RFP) be issued for sale or
redevelopment of Timber Ridge Village. The TRAHC has secured

Lodge, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (20 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with

BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On December 7, 2004, the Town
Council at a public hearing approved the second reading of Ordinance

Development District No. 38, Manor Vail Lodge. The purpose of the
new Special Development District is to facilitate the redevelopment of
the Manor Vail Lodge, located at 595 Vail Valley Drive. In the time
since this approval, a discrepancy was discovered in the lot area of
the Manor Vail development site which has rendered many of the
zoning statistics reported in Ordinance 24, Series of 2004 inaccurate.
In addition there was a typographical error found regarding the
number of attached accommodation units to be constructed.
Ordinance 14, Series of 2005 corrects these items.

Department recommends that the Vail Town Council approves
Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2005, on first reading.
11. Matt Gennett ITEM/TOPIC: First Reading of Ordinance No. #15, Series of
2005, an ordinance amending Section 12-21-14, Restrictions in

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with

BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) held public meetings to consider this request
on March 14, 2005, and on April 25, 2005, at which the PEC
forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Town Council. A

2005, meeting has been attached for reference.
12. Malcolm Murray ITEM/TOPIC: Request to approve of Resolution #9, Series of
2005 that would approve an amendment to the LionsHead Public
Facilities Development Plan. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, Approve with
modification, or deny the amendment to LionsHead Public
Facilities Development Plan.
BACKGROUND: The Vail Town Council is being requested to
approve Resolution 9, Series of 2005 and with finding that the
amendment to LionsHead Public Facilities Development Plan is
consistent with the Town of Vail's Comprehensive Plan. The
LionsHead Public Facilities Development Plan ("Plan") was
prepared by the Vail Reinvestment Authority ("VRA") and adopted
by the Vail Town Council of the Town of Vail, pursuant to the
provisions of the Urban Renewal Law of the State of Colorado,
Article 25 of Title 31, Colorado Revised Statutes on March 16,
2004. At the time of approval, sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the plan
were deleted that authorized tax increment financing. However,
the Planning and Environmental Commission reviewed and made
a favorable recommendation of the Plan with the tax increment
provisions in the Plan. The tax increment provisions were not
included in the final approval to avoid unduly limiting the bonding
capacity of this financial tool. At this time the Vail Reinvestment
Authority would request that sections 5.1 and 5.2 be reinserted
into the Plan now that construction has commenced in LionsHead.
This amendment to the Plan is considered a substantial
modification and triggers compliance with all procedural steps
required for original adoption of the Plan. On May 23, 2005, the
Planning and Environmental Commission voted 5-1 to forward a
finding to the Vail Town Council that the amendment to LionsHead
Public Facilities Development Plan conforms to the Vail
Comprehensive Plan.

,> INFORMATION BOOTH REQUIREMENT FOR AUDITED
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Staff was asked to review whether the current information booth
contract w/the Vail Valley Chamber and Tourism Bureau (VVCTB)

Control of Funds, Paragraph C, reads as follows: "The VVCTB
shall submit to the town, for its review, the VVCTB audited
financial statement by July 1, 2006. The expense of this audit
shall be paid by the VVCTB as an expense of administration."
Staff recommends the clause be included in any future contract for

afternoon, as well, and requested the meeting occur in the
evening. Please be thinking of some potential topic areas of
discussion for this joint meeting.
r MOUNTAIN RESPONSE 2005
The emergency training exercise has been completed and
participant feedback continues to be positive with many saying it
was the best exercise they've ever attended, thanks, in part, to
Vail Resorts, which provided the exercise site. The event
simulated a building collapse in LionsHead with "victims" trapped
beneath the rubble. There were more than 40 agencies involved,
including national search and rescue teams from Colorado, Utah
and Tennessee. In the past, these elite teams have responded to
large-scale incidents such as the World Trade Center disaster and
the Oklahoma City bombing. While in Vail, these urban search
and rescue teams not only trained as a unit, but also provided
hands-on training to our local responders. In addition, the exercise
provided an opportunity to test the integration of our local, state
and federal incident management plans, the ability to deliver
critical information to the public, an opportunity to track the cost of
the response, plus important disaster declaration training from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. More than 650 people
participated in the exercise, including about 60 volunteers. In
addition, the local branch of the Salvation Army arranged to
provide a canteen during the four days with assistance from the
Red Cross. Police Chief Dwight Henninger served as Exercise
Director and is preparing a full report to Council to be presented in
the next month. Please join me in recognizing Chief Henninger
and all others involved for their hard work and dedication.

Club's "Service Above Self" Public Service award on Wednesday

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review proposals,

BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail has been soliciting proposals
to operate and manage the Vail Visitor Information Centers
beginning Oct. 1, 2005, and continuing for athree-year period.
The Visitor Information Centers are currently managed by the Vail
Valley Chamber & Tourism Bureau under cone-year contract
which ends Sept. 30, 2005. In preparation for the solicitation of
proposals, a Council Visitor Information Center Committee was
established to develop recommendations and strategies for a fair
and impartial decision-making process. That process included
preparation and distribution of a Request for Proposals (RFP)
issued April 20, 2005; responses from three potential operators by
the June 1, 2005, deadline (Vail Brochure Delivery, Vail Chamber
& Business Association and Vail Valley Chamber & Tourism
Bureau); evaluation of the proposals by the committee; and a
selection recommendation forwarded to the Town Council for
consideration.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Council Visitor
Information Center Committee unanimously recommends
selection of Vail Brochure Delivery to operate the Vail Visitor
Information Centers as outlined in the corresponding
memorandum. The Committee further requests the Town Council
authorize the Town Manager to negotiate a three year operating
contract with a not to exceed amount identified by the Town

a contract with CIA to perform plan review and inspection services
for the Four Seasons Project.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: As anticipated, the Town of Vail is
experiencing an unprecedented amount of construction. The
Chief Building Official for the Town of Vail has now met with
General Contractors from the various commercial projects to
determine the time frame and quantity of inspections required for
the various commercial projects. At the same time, staff is mindful
of the direction received from Council that residential builders
should not be unduly impacted by the high level of commercial
construction. The Town has budgeted additional resources and
anticipated the need to contract resources for conducting plan
reviews. At this time, staff has concluded that the demand for
building inspections if Four Seasons or another large project
initiates construction will exceed our capacity to provide those
services. Staff obtained proposals from 4 companies that provide
inspection and plan review services in the event contract
resources would be needed. CIA provided the most qualified
staff, and had the best experience and references. They also
provided a competitive rate when compared to their competition.

the term which expires May 31, 2006.
5. Russ Forrest
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: All applicants to the LLA must be
citizens of the United States, qualified electors of the Town of Vail,
and have resided in the Town of Vail for not less than two years
preceding appointment, and shall have no direct financial interest
in any license to sell alcoholic beverages or any location having
any such license. Duties of the five-member board include review
of all Town of Vail liquor license applications.
There is currently one vacancy on the LLA. The Town received
one (1) application for the vacancy. The Council needs to
interview this applicant at the work session and then make the
appointment to the LLA at the evening meeting.
The applicant is Robert McKown.
RECOMMENDATION: Appoint one applicant to the LLA to
complete the term vacated by Rob Rothenberg.
I would also ask the Town Council to thank Rob Rothenberg for
his three (3) years of service on the LLA board.
ITEM/TOPIC: Vail Conference Center Update. (30 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: On June 7th, the Vail Town
Council authorized additional funds to continue working on the
conference center. As part of that authorization $30,000 was
budgeted for additional operational studies. The Committee would
like to retain a qualified professional to evaluate price sensitivity
for Lodging Tax and its impact on Lodging. The Committee
would like to be authorized by the Town Council to spend up
to $10,000 to evaluate this question.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On July 13th, the Conference
Center Advisory Committee met and reviewed the current
conference center ballot language. The lodging representatives
on the Committee requested that two issues be discussed with the
Town Council:
1. Complete an analysis of price sensitivity in the resort
lodging market place to increases in lodging tax.
Specifically the lodging community would like to know if
raising lodging tax will negatively impact lodging business
or if there is a threshold which should be recognized.
Currently a guest checking out of a Vail lodging property
pays an 11.8% tax (Sales and Lodging Tax).
2. Request to Council to discuss sun setting the lodging tax.
The Lodging community would be very interested in sun
setting all or a portion of the tax. This matter could be
considered more fully once a final tax increase is
determined based on a guaranteed maximum price from
Mortenson Construction which will be available in August.
6. Warren Campbell ITEM/TOPIC: First Reading of Ordinance No. #1, Series of 2005, an

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Table the First Reading of
Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2005, an ordinance establishing Special
Development District No. 39, Crossroad, to the August 2, 2005,
Council meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Staff and the applicant are requesting
that the First Reading of Ordinance No. 1, Series of 2005, an
ordinance establishing Special Development District No. #39,
Crossroad, be tabled to August 2, 2005, in order to give staff and the
applicant time to address the concerns expressed by the Town
Council at the June 21, 2005, public hearing.

Department recommends that the Vail Town Council table the First
Reading of Ordinance No. #1, Series of 2005, an ordinance
establishing Special Development District No. #39, Crossroad, to the
August 2, 2005, Council meeting.
7. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: Consideration of an Intergovernmental Agreement
("IGA") between Vail Square Metropolitan Districts 1, 2 and 3 (the
"Districts) and the Town of Vail regarding operation and
maintenance of the On-Site Streetscape Improvements and the
LionsHead Place Improvements. (5 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or approve with
amendment the IGA, via motion, at the evening meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The IGA was approved as to
form, as Exhibit D, to the Consolidated Service Plan for Vail
Square Metropolitan Districts 1, 2 and 3, which was approved by
the Town Council via Resolution No. 8, 2005, on May 3, 2005. It
was represented at that time that a final version of the IGA would
be brought back to the Town Council for review and approval prior
to its execution. No substantive changes have been made to the
IGA since the Council last saw it on May 3, 2005.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the IGA, via motion, at
the evening meeting.
8. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. #12, Series 2005, A resolution
approving the amendment to core site development agreement
(the "Amendment") among the Town of Vail (the "Town"), Vail
Reinvestment Authority (the "Authority"), and the Vail Corporation,
d/b/a Vail Associates, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Vail
Associates"), which amendment pertains to certain respective
rights and responsibilities of the Town, the Authority and Vail
Associates in relation to the core site development proposed to be
undertaken by Vail Associates and affiliates. The topic is an
Amendment to the Core Site Development Agreement ("DIA").
Because the original DIA was negotiated and adopted prior to final
design approvals, there are several housekeeping matters that
need to be amended in order to comply with certain conditions
adopted by the PEC. The main items are as follows: 1) The
Town is agreeing to various Easement Dedications subject to final
review by the Town Staff. These were anticipated by the original
DIA and the Amendment sets them out with specificity. 2) The
Town is agreeing to designate Vail Associates and its designees
(contractors and utility companies) to install the off-site
improvements. The original DIA mandated that Vail Associates do
the work. This Amendment authorizes and enables Vail
Associates to do the work. 3) The Town and Vail Associates are
agreeing as to the areas of responsibility on an ongoing basis for
utilities and off-site improvements. The original DIA did not
specify in detail these areas. 4) The Town is agreeing to give Vail
Associates a license agreement for various encroachments for
footings, etc. The original DIA called for transfer of ownership of
the property. 5) The Town is agreeing to transfer the $4,300,000
obligation for additional parking to the Core Site. The Original DIA
tied the obligation to the Gore Creek Townhomes. This is an
accounting issue which serves to properly allocate the money to
the Core Site. The condition, as before, is a personal obligation of
Vail Associates and is not conditioned upon the building of the
Core Site. This Amendment does not limit the effect of any
condition to closing under the original DIA which presently
remains unsatisfied. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or approve with
amendment Resolution No. #12, Series 2005, and/or the
underlying Amendment to Core Site Development Agreement, at
the evening meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Amended agreement will
update the original Core Site Development Agreement based
upon all current approvals as set forth above.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution #12, Series
2005, at the evening meeting.
9. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. #13, Series of 2005, a Resolution
approving the parking capital investment agreement between the
Town of Vail (The "Town") and the Vail Corporation, D/B/A Vail
Associates, Inc., A Colorado Corporation (Vail Associates") which
agreement relates to the Arrabelle at Vail Square Development by
Vail Associates. (10 min.)
10. Matt Mire
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or approve with
amendment Resolution No. 13, Series 2005, at the evening
meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Resolution No. #13, Series 2005,
operates to amend the original Parking Capital Investment
Agreement. The amended agreement will transfer the $4,300,000
obligation for additional parking to the Core Site. The obligation
was originally tied to the Gore Creek Town homes. This is an
accounting issue which serves to properly allocate the money to
the Core Site. The condition, as before, is a personal obligation of
Vail Associates and is not conditioned upon the building of the
Core Site.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. #13,
Series 2005.
ITEM/TOPIC: Resolution No. #14, Series 2005, a Resolution
approving the adoption and confirming the effect of the
intergovernmental agreement by and among the Authority, The
Vail Square Metropolitan District No.'s 1, 2, and 3, and the Vail
Corporation, D/B/A Vail Associates. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve or approve with
amendment Resolution No. #14, Series 2005, at the evening
meeting.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Resolution #14, Series 2005, is
simply an acknowledgement by the Town Council that the
condition of approval for the Consolidated Service Plan for Vail
Square Metropolitan Districts 1, 2 and 3 (the "Districts") has been
satisfied.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve Resolution No. 14,
Series 2005, at the evening meeting.
11. ITEM/TOPIC: Town Managers Report (10 min.)
r House Bill 1177, Commonly known as the `Interbasin
Compact' or the `Colorado Water for the 21St Century Act'
This bill created nine basin roundtables covering geographic areas
in Colorado. These roundtables will be the primary bodies for on-
going discussions related to needs within each basin and the
basins' interaction with each other. Caroline Bradford, Eagle River
Watershed Council, called for a quick meeting by the
municipalities on Monday, July 11. At this meeting, the following
towns were represented: Basalt, Gypsum, Eagle, Avon, Minturn
and Vail. Consensus on the municipalities' single appointment
was required by Friday, July 15, 2005. The county will also be
allowed to appoint one candidate. Unanimously, the six towns
agreed to nominate Chuck Ogilby as their collective
representative. Staff has called Chuck to notify him, although the
representative from QQ/NWCCOG indicated he'd already been
polled about serving and had stated he was willing to do so. Staff
has not yet had a confirmation from Chuck in regard to this
position.

Vail, CO 81657
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. ITEM/TOPIC: Citizen Input (10 min.)
2. ITEM/TOPIC: Meeting with County Commissioners. (60 min.)
Talking Points:
,> Ethics Policy
.> Housing Regulations
,> Land Use policies
,> Energy Efficiency Programs
.- West Vail Fire Station
3. Carmen Moyer ITEM/TOPIC: Muscular Dystrophy Fire Fighter Proclamation. (5
min.)
The Muscular Dystrophy Association along with the Town of Vail
would like to thanks the Vail Fire Department for their support of
the Fill the Boot Fundraising Program. They have continued to be
the highest raising fire department on the Western Slope. Last
year they raised almost $10,000, and this year's goal is $20,000.
In light of this, we are announcing the week of August 29th -
September 5th: Vail Fire Fighter Appreciation Week.
4. ITEM/TOPIC: Construction Update. (5 min.)
5. Russ Forrest ITEM/TOPIC: Vail Conference Center -Ballot Language and
Parking. (30 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Based on input from the
afternoon work session with representatives from the Lodging
Community, the Town Council could choose to keep the ballot
language that has been reviewed in June or it could choose to
direct staff to prepare alternative language. In addition, staff
would like to confirm how parking should be addressed in the
facility based on input from the PEC.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In July, the Town Council
approved the current format for the conference center ballot
language. At the August 2nd meeting the Town Council requested
that the Lodging Community provide any input they might have on
the proposed ballot language by the August 16th meeting.
The other item to discuss involves parking for the facility. Over the
summer months the conference center has received preliminary
reviews by both the DRB and the PEC. At the July 25th PEC
meeting, the Commission indicated that the conference center
should provide 243 spaces for parking based on the zoning code.
The Project is proposing to build 250 spaces. The parking would
be managed operated by the Town of Vail. The existing 1100
spaces and the new 250 spaces would be operated as one public
parking facility. If an event occurred on a peak ski day then there
would be the ability to segregate or reserve parking for the
conference facility. Staff proposed only segregating 125 spaces
during times when the facility is used and frontage road parking is
anticipated. Vail Resorts has committed $4.3 million for parking
under the conference center. Staff would propose that we comply
with the PEC request to provide 243 spaces. The primary
question is whether Vail Resorts funding should be accepted to
help pay for the proposed parking underneath the parking
structure. The alternative would be to increase the amount of the
project budget for the conference center an additional $4.3 million
to pay for the full total of 250 net new parking spaces.
6. Paul Smith ITEM/TOPIC: Amendment to E911 Inter-Governmental
Agreement. (5 min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Due to increased
telecommunications cost and surcharge revenue shortfalls, the
Eagle County Telephone Service Authority Board (911 Authority)
has been forced to reduce its contributions to the operating budget
of the County's 911 Center in fiscal years 2004 and 2005. This
reduction has forced a corresponding cost increase to the user
agencies within the county and required a temporary reduction in
staff in 2005. Clearly the 911 Authority's revenue short fall is now
directly impacting 911 services in Eagle County and forcing an
unnecessary financial burden on the Public Safety agencies within
the county. (10 min.)
To help resolve this issue the 911 Authority and Eagle County
have recently approached the PUC requesting a 911 surcharge
increase for Eagle County. This increase will bring the current
phone based surcharge of $.70 up to $1.25 per month per phone
line.
To assist in this matter the 911 Authority is requesting that the
Mayor of the Town of Vail endorse the attached "Second
Amendment" to the E911 Telephone Service IGA which provides
for the proposed surcharge increase.
STAFF RESPONSE: Staff recommends the signing of amended
IGA.
7. Warren Campbell ITEM/TOPIC: First Reading of Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2005,

Code, to amend the Commercial Service Center (CSC) District to

modifications, or deny Ordinance No. #16, Series of 2005 on first
reading.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: On April 25, 2005, the Town of
Vail Planning and Environmental Commission voted 6-0-0 (Gunion
absent) to forward a recommendation of approval for a proposed
text amendment to the Commercial Service Center (CSC) District
to add "bowling alley" as a conditional use and to add a definition
fora "bowling alley" to the Vail Town Code.
On August 2, 2005, the Town Council tabled the First Reading of
Ordinance No. 16, Series of 2005, without hearing any
presentation.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: This application to amend the
allowable conditional uses for the Commercial Service Center District
and to add a definition for "bowling alley", was submitted as a part of
the proposal to establish SDD No. 39, Crossroads. As you are aware
the application to establish SDD No. 39, Crossroads, has been
withdrawn. Staff believes this may be an opportunity to examine and
update the development standards for the Commercial Service Center
District in whole. Should the Town Council choose to move forward
with this application the Community Development Department
recommends that the Vail Town Council approves Ordinance No. 16,
Series of 2005, on first reading.

condominium project on the West Day Lot. The applicant intends

In addition, Vail Resorts is pursuing approval from the U.S. Forest
Service through its National Environmental Policy Act Process.
The Forest Service will require the preparation of an
Environmental Assessment which will consider the environmental
impacts of a new lift on the West side of LionsHead. The
proposed location of the West LionsHead lift would be directly
adjacent and to the west of the proposed Ritz condominium
project. Staff and Vail Resorts agree a planning process must
now be initiated in the Town of Vail to evaluate the implications
and land use issues associated with a new lift in this location.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: On September 20th, the
Town Council asked staff to develop a planning process for
evaluating a new lift proposal in West LionsHead. Staff is
requesting approval from the Town Council on a process for
developing a plan that would consider a new lift and ski portal on
the west side of LionsHead. Furthermore, staff is requesting that
the Town Council appoint two of its members to join a planning
team for creating an acceptable concept for West LionsHead. This

and potentially transit improvements, along with other public
improvements associated with the creation of a new lift. This may
result in an amendment to the LionsHead Master Redevelopment
Plan.

"timeshare estate unit," "fractional fee unit," and "timeshare license
unit" with the term "time-share unit." The sole purpose of the
proposed amendments to Title 12 is to remove conflicting
provisions from the Town Code and to better describe similar land
uses. The proposed amendments are NOT intended to alter any
existing land use or development policies. Based upon the
proposed amendments to Title 12, specifically the definition of
"time-share unit," staff is also recommending deleting outdated
sections of the Vail Town Code relating to disclosure and
registration requirements of time-share projects.
On September 12, 2005, the PEC unanimously recommended
approval of the amendments to Title 12. However, the staff needs
additional time complete Ordinance No. 24, Series 2005, which
would implement the above-referenced changes.

recommendations of the Parking Task Force and approve parking
policies for 2005 -2006.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Town Council established the
Parking Task Force to provide direction to the Vail Town Council
regarding parking operation policies for each year. The three
areas in which the task force believed attention was warranted
included the need to adjust the inequities of the shopper parking
with the rates within the structure, address the price of the value
passes to reflect the price increases from years past, and to
address the increased demand of the construction workforce this
season.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Parking Task Force
recommended the following changes to the parking policies for the
2005-2006 season. All rates remain as last year with the
exception of the following:
1. Provide two options for the shopper spaces
,> 0-2 hours for the $3 rate; or

to $14 peak
In recognition of increased demand during the week due to the
construction workforce, it is recommended the town provide a
construction company pass option. This pass would be allowed in

Environmental Inc. (45 min)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to the presentation
and direct staff regarding the recommended next steps.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Since April 2004, Hankard
Environmental Inc. has been under contract with the Town of Vail
to provide consulting services as part of a comprehensive effort to
reduce the impact of traffic noise on I-70. Hankard Environmental
will present the final report on the study and associated findings,
specifically the results of modeling different barrier types Qersey
barrier, berms, concrete walls) along the I-70 corridor, which
generally showed that your typical concrete sound walls are not
effective/recommended in all areas. Included in the report are
recommendations for quiet asphalt, continued traffic enforcement,
noise barriers and mitigation education for affected properties. In
addition, staff has begun preliminary looks at the tunneling of I-70,
met with Senator Allard to discuss possible discretionary funding
for a pilot project using "quiet" asphalt, coordinated with Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT) on future sand storage
berm locations, and worked with private property owners to
expand the sand storage berms at the Bald Mountain location.
CDOT is beginning an extensive noise study to follow up on the
work they have already done. CDOT has also committed to a
Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) mix design for the future I-70 overlay
through Vail. Research and testing conducted by CDOT and
others have shown the SMA mix to provide a 1 to 4 dBA reduction
when compared to the standard superpave mix. CDOT is also
beginning an Environmental Assessment (EA) for Vail Pass.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
,> Listen to the presentation and provide staff guidance on
the future steps and direction regarding overall I-70 noise
mitigation strategies.
4. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: An Intergovernmental Agreement between the Vail
Park and Recreation District (the "District") and the Town of Vail
(the "Town") for financing of ADA remediation for buildings owned
by the Town and operated the District. (5 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Authorize the Town
Manager to sign the Agreement on behalf of the Town.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: As a result of Agreements
between the 1) the Recreation District and the U.S. Justice
Department; and 2) the Town of Vail and U.S. Justice Department,
related to ADA compliance at Town owned and District leased
facilities, the Town and the District have agreed to jointly finance
the ADA remediation. This Agreement memorializes the previous
understanding between the District and the Town to share equally
in the total remediation cost.

5. Leslie Fordham ITEM/TOPIC: Art in Public Places Trash Cans. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Recommend the Public
Works department purchase twenty trash cans for Vail.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The Art in Public Places Board
has developed a unique, high quality, can for Vail. The prototype
can is made from 12 gauge steel, with two oversized pine cones
plasma cut into the metal side panels. It is finished with a baked
on powder coat and a protective clear coat of paint. The new trash
receptacle is approximately the same size as the can currently
made in the TOV carpenter's shop. An internal cigarette butt
receptacle can be added. The Public Works department believes
that a metal trashcan will not require as much maintenance as
wood, which currently costs the town approximately $150 per year
to repair and refinish. AIPP recommends that the Public Works
department places an initial order for twenty trash cans for Vail
village.

,> Proposed Council Retreat
To provide preparation time prior to the town-wide community
meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 12, 2006, staff
would like Council feedback on setting Friday, December 16th,
for the Council retreat. Given the timing of the election, the
subsequent "swearing in" of the newly elected Council
members on November 15th, allowing for the holidays, and
after having gathered input from the focus groups, staff
believes this will still provide an opportunity to assemble
materials and an agenda based on Council input for the

retreat outcomes will be scheduled for Council's regular work
session on Tuesday, January 3rd.

TOWN COUNCIL
EVENING SESSION AGENDA
6 P.M. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2005
VAIL TOWN COUNCIL CHAMBERS
75 S. Frontage Road W.
Vail, CO 81657
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. ITEM/TOPIC: Recognition of Diana Donovan for her years of
service as a Vail Council Member. (5 min.)
2. ITEM/TOPIC: Citizen Input (10 min.)
3. ITEM/TOPIC: Approval of 11.01.05 and 12.015.05
Evening Session Minutes. (5 min.)
4. Suzanne Silverthorn ITEM/TOPIC: Consideration of Brochure Rack Fee for Visitor
Information Centers by Vendors Who Do Not Otherwise Hold a
Valid Town of Vail Business License. (15 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review the brochure rack
fee proposal and give direction to staff regarding implementation,
modification or dismissal.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In October 2005, the Town
Council directed staff to pursue a brochure rack fee to be used in
the Visitor Information Centers to promote activities by vendors
who do not otherwise hold a valid Town of Vail business license.
The direction was given after the Council identified a larger need
to provide equity for vendors doing business in the Town of Vail.
This is because the Town of Vail business license requirement
excludes businesses located outside the town from obtaining a
Vail business license. To rectify this circumstance, Town Attorney
Matt Mire has suggested preparing a question for the November
2006 ballot to require business licenses for all vendors who
conduct business within the Town of Vail. While noting the equity
issue is much larger than the business conducted through the
Visitor Information Centers, Council has asked to pursue a vendor
brochure rack fee to provide equity for vendors represented within
the Visitor Information Centers as an interim measure. There are
currently 33 vendors doing business in the Visitor Information
Centers who do not have a Vail business license. The Town of
Vail has the authority to implement a rack fee as an administrative
action, so long as the revenues from the rack fees are used to
assist in operation of the Centers. While a vendor brochure fee
would, indeed, provide equity to those businesses that use the
Visitor Information Centers, there is the possibility that a fee would
discourage vendors from supplying their materials to the centers.
This could possibly limit the variety of activities and amenities
promoted by the Visitor Information Centers. In providing direction
to the staff, the Town Council is asked to consider the importance
of providing equity to Vail's businesses while balancing an equally
important role to promote a variety of activities and amenities to
Vail's guests.
5. Elizabeth Eckel ITEM/TOPIC: A request to proceed through the development review
process with a proposal to reconfigure private improvements on Town
of Vail property. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, approve with
modifications, or deny the applicant's request to proceed through the
development review process.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: Sweet Basil Restaurant is in the
process of undergoing design review of an application to reconfigure
the existing outdoor patio at the southeast elevation of the Gore Creek
Plaza Building. The area proposed for reconfiguration consists of
approximately eighty four (84) square feet and is located upon the
Town's right-of-way at Gore Creek Drive. Since Sweet Basil/Gore
Creek Plaza Building is proposing to alter improvements upon Town
of Vail property, the Town Council, as the property owner, must grant
the applicant permission to proceed through the development review
processes. Should the Town Council grant permission to proceed,
the applicant will submit the appropriate development review
applications for Planning and Environmental Commission and Design
Review Board review and consideration.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Community Development
Department recommends that the Town Council give Sweet
Basil/Gore Creek Plaza Building and their representative further
direction on this matter to proceed through the design review process.
6. Lorelei Donaldson ITEM/TOPIC: Election Commission Appointments for the Town
of Vail. (5 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Appoint two electors of the
Town of Vail to the election commission of the Town of Vail, for a
period of two years (November, 2005 to November, 2007).

employees or candidates or nominees for elective town office.
These two members shall be appointed by the council in the first

have charge of all activities and duties required of it by statute and
this Charter relating to the conduct of elections in the town. In any
case where election procedure is in doubt, the election
commission shall prescribe the procedure to be followed.
The commission shall provide procedures to establish proof of
residency qualification where residency is in question. Upon a
showing for good cause, the election commission may require
proof of residency by any person registered to vote or attempting
to register to vote in the Town of Vail. Said person shall not be
qualified to vote in any municipal election until the election
commission is satisfied that he has presented sufficient proof of
residency as required by law or ordinance adopted pursuant to
this Charter. The election commission shall provide for ballots and
sample ballots or voting machines, for determination of the winner
in the event of a tie vote, for canvass of returns and for the
issuance of appropriate certificates.

5. Todd Oppenheimer ITEM/TOPIC: Seibert Circle design update. (10 min.)
Please refer to the attached memorandum for additional
narrative.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review the current design
for the Seibert Circle streetscape feature as presented by Wenk
Associates and take action to approve or deny the design, or
direct staff to hire an additional design team member (WET
Design) to enhance the design for resubmittal and evaluation by
the Council.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: At the April 5, 2005, meeting, the
Town Council approved a recommendation by the streetscape
Design Committee to develop a new design concept for Seibert
Circle. The budget for the complete redesign and reconstruction
of Seibert Circle was set at $1,134,000. Subsequent to that
approval, the Moroles sculptures were removed to storage and
infrastructure and paving improvements were completed during
this past fall's construction period. The project is currently on
track with approximately $350,000 of the allocated funds available
for construction of the central feature. Further enhancement of
the feature design may add up to $75,000 to the cost of
construction.
Several design concepts have been created by the project design
team and reviewed by the Seibert Circle Design Committee before
it was disbanded following the November election. The final
direction by the Council streetscape Committee was to move
forward with a more natural design concept. The natural design
concept was to be a streetscape feature rather than an art feature.
The design concept was presented to and commented on by the
committee. The purpose of this presentation is to allow the
Council an opportunity to see the current design and respond to
the design team with comments, questions, and formal direction.
Ron Riley, owner of the commercial space within the Bridge Street
Lodge, has contacted WET Design and brought them to Vail, at
his expense, to review the site and discuss the project. WET
Design, based in Los Angeles, California, is aworld-renown water
feature design firm. Their list of projects includes the cauldron for
the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympics and the Fountains of Bellagio
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Staff strongly feels that the current design satisfies the goals of
the project. However, if the Council does not agree and wants the
Seibert feature to create even more of an impact, Wenk
Associates and WET Design have submitted a joint proposal to
the town to collaborate in the design of the Seibert feature. The
collaborative effort will add $35,000 to the cost of the conceptual
design and will provide at least three alternative designs with
estimated construction costs for each. The Council would have an
opportunity to review, discuss, and select among the alternatives.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve the current design
concept for the Seibert Circle Streetscape Feature as presented
by Wenk Associates and direct the design team to finalize the
design, proceed through the DRB process and prepare for
construction to begin in April 2006.
6. Matt Mire ITEM/TOPIC: Assignment of Option by the Metropolitan Council
of St. Paul/Minneapolis Minnesota to Purchase one 40' Low Floor
Hybrid Diesel-Electric Transit Bus for the In-town Shuttle from its
Contract with Gillig Corporation. (5 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approve, Authorize the
Town Manager to execute IGA, and award the subject bid.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: The town has been researching
options to replace the in-town shuttle buses with a quieter, cleaner
burning more fuel efficient bus. Several demonstrations of
different hybrid technologies and buses have been performed in
Vail and staff has attended hybrid bus demonstrations at other
sites to determine the type of technology and bus that would meet
our requirements for noise, emissions and serviceability. Staff
believes that the Gillig low-floor hybrid bus will provide an in-town
shuttle service that will improve the experience for our residents
and guests by reducing noise and emissions and reducing our fuel
consumption. These are the same buses that the National Park
Service purchased to operate in Yosemite National Park in
California to achieve the same results that Vail is trying to achieve.
This is the first bus of ten to be replaced on the in-town shuttle
and is included in the 2005 capital budget.

Manager to execute the IGA, and award the subject bid.
