2. George Ruther ITEMlTOPIC: PEC/DRB Update. (15 min.)
3. Russ Forrest ITEM/TOPIC: LionsHead Parking Structure RFP. (15 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
1) Review and receive direction on funding for resources to assist
in the due diligence of the LionsHead Parking Structure RFP
process;
2) Review how the project goals are, proposed to be reformatted
as criteria for a selection process; and
3) Review next steps.
BACKGROUND: On August 1St the Vail Town Council directed
staff to invite Open Hospitality Partners and East West Partners
to prepare proposals consistent with the LionsHead Parking
Structure RFP. Staff has provided a revised schedule to allow for
additional public input and consideration. In addition, the Town
Council asked that an appraisal be completed on the property and
that resources be obtained to review the financial plan and
construction plans for the proposals as part of the selection
process. The memorandum for this item includes a proposed
budget that is also included in the 2"d reading of the supplemental

4. Gregg Barrie ITEMlTOPIC: Bighorn Park Playground Improvements. (15 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: During the Work Session,
staff will be requesting the Council to choose an option for
proceeding with the Bighorn Park Playground Renovation.
Depending on the outcome of the Work Session, staff is
requesting approval of a project budget and approval for the Town
Manager to enter into a contract for construction of the project.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In February of 2006, town Staff
presented a Plan for the renovation of the Bighorn Park
Playground to the Town Council. Feedback was generally
positive and the Council informally approved the design. Only one
proposal for construction was received and it was substantially
higher than the cost estimate. Several options for proceeding with
the project are outlined in the attached memo.
As with our past several playground renovations, custom play
structures and the inclusion of artwork are the basis for the
design. The Bighorn Park proposal involves the construction of
artistic wooden sculptures, "Bloom", that would serve as play
structures. Slides, custom climbers, and bridges connect the
Blooms to each other and to the existing play structures.
The design creates a unique playground that blends with Bighorn
Park's natural setting, reuses some of the existing play structure
and site elements, and generally follows the comments we
received from the Neighborhood Open House.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Review the Alternatives outlined in
the attached memorandum and provide a recommendation to staff
for proceeding with the. project. Staff can look within existing
budgets to pay for increased costs.
5. Stan Zemler ITEM/TOPIC: Discussion and direction regarding bear ordinance.
Matt Mire (30 min.)
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In August of 2002, and in
response to a dramatic increase in human-bear conflicts, the Vait
Town Council (the "Council") adopted Ordinance No. 19, Series
2002, which amended the Vail Town Code (the "Code") to include
a Chapter regarding Wildlife Protection. The stated purpose of the
Wildlife Protection chapter was to "protect and maintain wildlife
in the Town of Vail and surrounding areas and to minimize
the risk of dangerous interaction between humans and
wildlife." On July 11, 2006, Council directed staff to prepare
amendments to current wildlife protection ordinance. On July 18,
2006, the Council passed an emergency measure which .removed
the warning requirement for first time offenders from the current
Wildlife Protection regulations and also eliminated the maximum
fine amounts set forth in the Code. Accordingly, first time
offenders of .the current Wildlife Protection regulations are now
subject to the General Penalty provision of the Code (up to $999
in fines and incarceration of up to 180 days, or both). On August
1, 2006, the council heard testimony and evidence from Town
Staff, members of the community, licensed waste haulers and the
Colorado Division of Wildlife. The Council then provided direction
to amend the current regulations.

advertising fresh and up to date, coordinate- gallery events showcasing our world class artists, and
partner with Bravo and The Symposium to bring special events to enrich our community.
As a participating business here in Vail, I also give to various charities and fundraisers to help

passionate sense of community and pride in seeing this town develop quality events and

Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for the installation of a sanitary sewer line in the Gore

Applicant: Roland and Jeanne Kjesbo
Planner: Matt Gennett
ACTION: Approved with conditions
MOTION: Cleveland SECOND: Dewitt VOTE: 6-0-1 (Kjesbo
recused)
CONDITIONS:
1. That the applicant provides the Community Development Department with an ILC of
the site following the completion of the sewer line connection work prior to the
granting of a TCO or CO in order to verify no permanent modification to the floodplain
has occurred as a result of this proposal
Matt Gennett presented the project according to the memorandum.
Anne Gunion asked if an EIR (Environmental Impact Report) had been submitted. Matt Gennett
clarified that the Public Works Department had waived that requirement due to the fact that the
applicant had already received Army Corps approval for the proposal. Shortly afterward, Doug
Cahill verified with staff that the appropriate approvals had been obtained.

30 minutes
2. A request for a final review a major exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7J-12, Major
Exterior Alterations or Modifications, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of the
Timberline Lodge, located at 1783 North Frontage Road/Lots 9-12, Buffehr Creek Subdivision,
and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC05-0080)
Applicant: Timberline Roost Lodge, LLC, represented by Mauriello Planning Group, LLC
Planner: Matt Gennett
ACTION: Approved with conditions
MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Cleveland VOTE: 7-0-0
CONDITIONS:
1. That all the public works conditions of approval, as stated in Section IX of the staff
memorandum dated August 14, 2006, be adhered to in full prior to the issuance of
a TCO for the Timberline Lodge property.
2. That the developer shall add 4" irrigation sleeves on the traffic control islands
proposed on the North Frontage Road at the time of construction of the proposed
redevelopment, should irrigation be required on their landscape plan as part of the
applicant's Design Review Board application.
Matt Gennett presented the project according to the memorandum.
Dominic Mauriello, the applicant's representative, explained the project in further detail through
story boards and a digital rendering.
Greg Beamis, a neighbor to the north, expressed continued concern about the side of the
building. He recommended that the. PEC take some time to review the new plans in detail.
Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners, expressed concern about the turn lanes, the median, the
bus stop, and the general interaction between the proposed structure and the existing Frontage
Road and I-70 corridor.
Dominic Mauriello commented that they were actually not even required to provide left turn
lanes, but were, regardless.
Jim Lamont again expressed the concern that the road may eventually carry far more traffic than
it does today.
Wendy Erb commented that she thought that the developer was moving towards a better
structure. However, she was still concerned about the bulk and mass of the structure. She
expressed further concern about the amount of shadow cast during the winter on surrounding
areas. She felt that some drainage mistakes existed on the road to the north, regardless.
Finally, Ms. Erb commented that she thought there might be an error regarding hearing dates in
the memo.
Bill Pierce asked Greg Hall how and when the Frontage Road improvements would occur. Greg
commented that the traffic impact fee could be raised, but Council approval would be required for
any change.
Anne Gunion agreed with the Staff's recommendation, but also agreed with the developer's
request to change the conditions of approval. She commented that the developer has proposed
more than should have been required as part of today's application.
Page 2
Chas Bernhardt agreed with the suggestion to modify the conditions. He commented favorably
on the modification of the bulk and mass, the changes to the fagade, ete.
Dick Cleveland asked the applicant if the for sale units would be operated under a rental
program. The applicant replied in the affirmative. He also asked if the bike would truly be a
bike/recreational path, and not simply a pedestrian path. Dominic replied that the path was
meant for "recreation". Mr. Cleveland asked if the developer was asking for an offset to the
traffic impact fee to cover the amenities proposed. The applicant replied that the offset to the
traffic impact fee would help in the construction of the proposed improvements. Dick Cleveland
said that he did not see a problem with the continuation of the bike path. He thought that the
trash shelters did not necessarily need to be combined: As large as the project is, he thought its
proximity to the Frontage Road could be tolerated.
Bill Jewitt also supported modifying conditions #20, #14, and #21. This process has shown that
the changes to the building spoke well for the ongoing review process that existed in the Town,
since the building has become substantially better. He also thanked the neighbors for their input.
Rollie Kjesbo. agreed that the developer had traveled far in the review process. He had no
issues with the changes proposed to conditions #20 and 21. He thought that condition #14
should stay active.
Doug Cahill seconded the opinions offered by his colleagues. He thought that the building
complied with the criteria for approval. He worried about the proximity of landscaping to the
roadway, but was still in favor of the project.
Dick Cleveland mentioned that Jim's comments had merit. He proposed that the Town provide
for the possible eventual construction of a median.
Chas Bernhardt asked if the continuation of the walk would contribute to the discounted impact
fee. His question was verified affirmatively.
Following the motion and second, Dominic commented that there were a number of large trees
that would likely need to be removed if the sidewalk was continued. The PEC commented that
that would be a DRB issue to resolve.
10 minutes
3. A request for a final review of floodplain modifications, pursuant to Chapter 14-6, Grading
Standards, Vail Town Code, to allow for the stabilization of the Gore Creek streambank and
modifications to the Town of Vail White Water Park, in the Gore Creek floodplain, located at
Tract I, Block 5E, Vail Village Filing. 1, (generally located east of the International Bridge on
Willow Bridge Road), and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC06-0050)
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Gregg Barrie
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Denied
MOTION: Jewitt SECOND: Kjesbo VOTE: 4-3-0 (Pierce,
Gunion, Bernhardt opposed)
(Based on the finding that the proposed structure would have a negative effect on the
environment).
Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum.
Page 3
Ro{lie Kjesbo asked if "such other factors and criteria as the commission deems applicable"
could include the facts that the proposed bladders are not a natural addition to the creek. Bill
Gibson commented in the affirmative.
Gregg Barrie commented that when the park was originally constructed, there were high hopes
regarding its future. He said that numerous analyses had been completed regarding improving
the site. He said that any additional permanent structures or boulders could impact the
floodplain. The reason the bladders are being proposed is the can be deflated at times of high
water flow to not impact the floodplain. He commented that most people who walk by will likely
not notice the bladders.
Doug Cahill asked how the floodplain would be affected by rocks within the stream. Gregg
responded that the flow would be displaced and therefore cause a floodplain issue. He
continued by saying that only a couple of inches of height could be permanently placed in the
stream without negatively effecting the flow.
Bill Jewitt questioned the original decision to construct the whitewater park in' it present location.
He quested if a different section of the creek would be more appropriate and no have the
potential floodplain impacts of the current site.
Bill Pierce did not have issue with the un-natural appearance of the bladders since the creek was
not currently a pristine environment. However, he did not support the expenditures necessary to
implement this proposal.
Anne Gunion believed that the proposal complied with the review criteria.
Chas Bernhardt commented that this proposal was similar to the terrain park on the ski
mountain. The whitewater park should be visible, easily accessed, and improved in order to
bring people to town.
Dick Cleveland stated that there is no question that this met all the floodplain issues. He did
think it was unreasonable to expect this area of the creek to be a whitewater park. The negative
impacts of the bladders would not outweigh the convenience of the higher water level.
Bill Jewitt agreed with Mr. Cleveland 'and -felt that the proposal did not- meet the criteria for
modifications to the floodplain.

4. A request for a final review of an amended final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13-12, Exemption Plat
Review Procedures, Vail Town Code, to allow for a combination of two lots into a single lot, Lots
12 and 13, Bighorn Subdivision, located at 4024 Willow Way and 4026 Lupine Drive, Bighorn
Subdivision, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC06-0051)
Applicant: Trudy Thomas
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Approved
MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Jewitt VOTE: 7-0-0
Warren Campbell presented the project according to the memorandum.
Trudy Thomas, the applicant, made herself available for questions but did not have anything to
add, but commended staff for being so helpful.
Page 4
Doug Cahill asked the applicant if she was comfortable with the concept of transforming two lots
into one.
Trudy Thomas commented that the proposal would be in better keeping with the surrounding
lots.
Bill Pierce asked if the applicant could re-subdivide into two lots in the future, Staff commented in
the affirmative.
30 minutes
5. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council of an amendment to Chapter 5,
Detailed Plan Recommendations, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, to further identify
opportunities for the future redevelopment of the Lion Square Lodge, located at 660 West
Lionshead Place/Lot 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 1, Addition 1, and setting forth details in regard
thereto. (PEC06-0056)
Applicant: Lion Square Lodge East and Vail Resorts, represented by Chip Melick
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Recommendation of Approval Forward to the Town Council
MOTION: Kjesbo SECOND: Jewitt VOTE: 7-0-0
Bill Gibson presented the project according to the memorandum.
Anne Gunion asked if Vail Resorts had agreed to the proposal, which Staff verified in the
affirmative.
Chip Melick described the application in further detail..
No public comment was proffered.
Bill Pierce noted his concern about the precedence this proposal could set for other properties.
Bill Gibson commented that a "build to" line had been contemplated, but that such a line was
better suited for streets, streetscape design, and other related projects.
Bill Jewitt commented that in a different situation, the adjacent property owner. might be badly
effected.
Bill Gibson commented that easements which allow for certain improvements are beneficial in
that they allow for legal means for an encroachment. The encumbrance would be in perpetuity,
or at least last for the duration of the existing structure, in answer to Anne Gunion's question.
Doug Cahill asked about the extension of the existing GRFA into the setback. Chip Melick
commented that the building footprint currently existed two feet (2') within the setback.
Chas Bernhardt commented that this concept was a step forward for the whole Town in
implementing the intent of the Town's regulation, rather than just the black and white. He noted
that achieving consensus between two parties was invaluable.
Dick Cleveland asked if this change was approved if this property was the only property entitled
this privilege. Bill Gibson commented that, as proposed, this would only apply to Lions Square
Lodge. Any other property would need to undergo the same process for a similar request. He
commented that the 4th paragraph of the proposed text was excessive and should be deleted.
Page 5
Bill Jewitt commented that the proposal met the intent of the setback area.
Doug Cahill asked if the building code non-conformities were being addressed through this
proposal, which Mr. Melick clarified in the affirmative. He then asked why this was not
addressed as a variance.
Bill Gibson commented that staff felt that a variance from the setbacks would not be appropriate
and the more appropriate process would be to amend the master plan.
Doug Cahill asked that the finding be added to Rollie's motion that stated the increased
conformance of the project with applicable codes. Other Commission members did not think that
such a finding would be necessary.
Bill Pierce asked if these units were not expanding if the request would be necessary. Bill
Gibson commented that the proposed additional square footage necessitated the application.
30 minutes
6. A request for a final review of a major exterior alteration, pursuant to Section 12-7H-7, Major

Chip Melick, the applicant's representative, further explained the proposal and illustrated the
nature of the Major Exterior Alteration via a 3D digital model presentation.
Doug Cahill asked if copies of what was presented in the presentation could be made available
for the public. George Ruther commented that still photo images from the model could be
provided, but not necessarily the computer files.
Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners Association, asked what the applicant's strategy was for
the final phase of redevelopment of this project.
Bill Anderson, general manager of the Lion Square Lodge, commented that the applicant was
willing to work on the landscaping near the ski yard. They were more than happy to make the
connection in that area work well

Anderson noted commented that a large portion of the parking lot was just rebuilt with the
Arrabelle project, but that the three condominium associations were working together to provide
a better transition area.

about future parking being located below grade. Overall, he was supportive of the project.
Bill Pierce expressed some concern about the parking as well. Bill Anderson expressed that
they, too, had the desire to reduce the surface parking area.. He stated that is was quite
complicated to complete the reconstruction that had been prompted by the Arrabelle
reconstruction as well. To do anything now would be prohibitive for several years.
Doug Cahill commented that is was refreshing to see a project that was not proposing
substantial new height increases, etc. He asked what public value was being added as a part of
this request. Chip Melick commented that the exterior changes to the building were likely
valuable enough.
Dick Cleveland asked that the importance of reducing visible parking be made clear to the
Associations.

3) Review next steps.
II. BACKGROUND
A. Goals
The Town of Vail owns and operates an 1150 space parking structure and an
unimproved charter bus parking lot, located at 395 South Frontage Road in Vail,
Colorado (See Section 7 of RFP). This site is 6.6 acres in size and is located in
the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan Area, one of two pedestrian retail
areas in Vail. In addition, this site is included in the Lionshead Urban Renewal
Area.
A draft master plan for the parking structure was completed during the process of
considering a conference center; the Town identified at that time, the following
needs for the site:
• The existing parking structure needs both capital and operational
improvements to maintain its effectiveness in the future,
• The Town currently needs 400-500 additional public parking spaces to
minimize overflow parking on the Frontage Road for 15 days- per winter
season,
• Redevelopment of the parking structure should include retail development
on the south side of the parking structure as called for in the Lionshead
Redevelopment Master Plan,
• Pedestrian access needs to be improved between the parking structure
and the Lionshead retail area, and
• Improve the Lionshead Information Center.
In the last year, private developers have approached the Town of Vail and
proposed redevelopment of the site to accommodate both public and private
uses. To ensure a fair and equitable process, the Vail Town Council directed
that a "Request for Proposals" be issued to solicit development proposals that
meet the project goals of the Town for this site.
The Request for Proposals seeks qualified developers who can develop the
Lionshead Parking Structure consistent with the .project goals of this Request for
Proposals stated below.
The following are project goals for any developer considering submitting a
proposal:
A. Development proposals shall comply to the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan (See
http://www.vailgov.com/docs/dl forms/lionshead master plan.pdf)) and. be
consistent with Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zoning (See
http://www.sterlingcodifiers.com/CONaiI/ for Title 12 in the Vail Town Code).
B. Development proposals consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan and the Lionshead Mixed Use 1 Zone District shall help pay for
the public improvements. A strong preference is given to uses that generate
"hot beds" such as accommodation units (hotels) and Employee Housing
Units. Parking generated by private development shall be provided and paid
for by the developer.
C. Meeting/event/conference facilities accessory to hotel and lodging uses.
D. The Town anticipates extensive improvements to the Lionshead. Parking
Structure in the near future. Creation of a new public parking structure, paid
for through the redevelopment of the site, should include a minimum of 1150
public parking spaces that would improve the operational performance of the
structure compared to current operation (See 2005 Walker Parking Study in
Attachment B). The Town is assuming that it would continue to own and
operate public parking in Lionshead.
E. Creation of new public parking in excess of the 1150 existing spaces on the
site based on circulation viability.
F. Creation of a new Lionshead Information Center with public reStrooms.
G. Redevelopment of the Lionshead Annex with consideration given to the
relocation of a Youth Recreation Center and the Colorado Mental Health
offices.
H. Improvement of the pedestrian, transit, and vehicular circulation between the
parking structure and the Lionshead retail mall.
I. Provide loading and delivery for uses created on-site which can also be used
by adjacent Lionshead retail uses.
J. Improve hotel shuttle bus circulation which currently drops guests at the
southwest corner of the Lionshead parking structure. The Town of Vail is
interested in siting a Lionshead transit facility to accommodate 5 buses for
regional bus traffic. The parking structure area is one of the locations under
consideration for that use (See Draft Master Plan for Parking Structure).
K. Creation of a retail connection along the-south side of the project site that is
consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.
L. Frontage Road Improvements consistent with the Lionshead Redevelopment
Master Plan and acceptable to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
M. Other public amenities that would augment the vitality and economic impact
of the development.
N. Use of the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Green Building Rating
System, or a comparable alternative, to guide project design.
Attachment A includes the RFP. It should be noted that proposed schedule
changes are proposed below.
B. Projected Costs for Maintaining the Lionshead parking structure and other
associated improvements.
The Lionshead parking structure was built in 1980 and is projected to have 25
years more of life before major reconstruction is required. However, significant
capital investments will be required to reach the 25 years. Necessary
improvements to the Lionshead parking structure can be placed in the following
categories:
Structural/Capital Maintenance,
• Repair all the stairs and stairways: $350,000 due next couple of years
• Ongoing expansion Joint work: $50,000/yr
• Top deck slab: re-topping within the next eight years: $2,500,000
• Salt penetration repairs: $150,000 due next couple of years
• Water infiltration repairs: $250,000 within 5 years
• Painting/lighting/system maintenance: $150,000/yr
• Parking equipment replacement: now $ 300,000, also every 5-7 years,
will request for 2007
Operational: The current structure does not function well as designed:
• Install pay on foot stations: $200,000
• Provide another exit to East Lionshead Circle: $750,000
• Convert the garage to one-way circulation and lose 100 spots: cost to
replace the 100 spots: $3,500,000
• Roadway improvements for better ingress/egress: $3,000,000
Code/regulatory: Required improvements to meet current codes will be required
with any enhancement or remodel:
• Elevator to meet ADA: $400,000 apiece
• Sprinkler and detection systems: $1,000,000
• Increase ventilation on certain levels: $350,000
• Egress and proper emergency access issues: $150,000
Enhancements: Keeping up with the customer expectations, matching the new
neighborhood and keeping the Vail experience:
• Bathrooms: $500,000
• Information Booth: $900,000
• Auxiliary Building: $1,700,000
• Heated Entry Stairs: $1,000,000 verses $300,000
• Elevators: See above
• Streetscape: $1,000,000
• New heated streetscape entry/Bus Plaza: $3,000,000
Expansion we have stated the need to expand the supply by 400 spaces
• 400 new spaces: $12,000,000
Currently, some of the structural and capital maintenance issues are budgeted
over the next 5 years (*). Operational issues are not budgeted except the
possibility of roadway improvements using TIF funds. Enhancements are not
budgeted except to use TIF funds for streetscape and entry plaza.
The conference center, if approved, would have addressed all these issues with
the exception of the topping slab, one-way circulation, the information booth and
expanded capacity by only 250 spaces verses 400 spaces. The revised capital
budgets for 2007-2010 will need to reflect increased costs to take care of the
shortcomings.

TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Department of Public Works
DATE: September 5, 2006
SUBJECT: Bighorn Park Playground Renovation
Background
In February of 2006, town staff presented a Plan for the renovation of the Bighorn Park
Playground to the Town Council. Feedback was generally positive and the Council approved
the design to move forward with construction documents and bidding.
Bids were solicited from three contractors, however, only one bid was received for the work, and
it is substantially higher than the cost estimate. Several alternatives for reducing the project
cost are described below.
Bighorn Design
As with our past several playground renovations, custom play structures and the inclusion of
artwork are the basis for the design. The Bighorn Park proposal involves the construction of
artistic wooden sculptures, "Blooms", that serve as play structures. Slides, custom climbers,
and bridges connect the Blooms to each other and to the existing play structures.
The design creates a unique playground that blends with Bighorn Park's natural setting, reuses
some of the existing play structure and site elements, relays an environmental message, and
generally follows the comments we received from the Neighborhood Open House.
Alternatives
Each of the following options will each provide an adequate and safe neighborhood playground
for Bighorn Park. Staff will look within existing budgets for possible funding sources.
Total
Project
Cost Required
Budget
Increase
Alternative 1 -Fit existing Budget $ 225,000 None
Alternative 2 -Scope Reduction 1 $ 257,000 $ 32,000
Alternative 3 -Scope Reduction 2 $ 294,000 $ 69,000
Bid Desi n $ 350,000 $ 125,000
See the following page for Alternatives details...
Alternative 1 ~ Reduce protect scope to fit the budget
• _ Eliminate the Blooms _ - __
• Reconstruct wooden "post and platform" structure for School Aged children
• Simplify playground entry and eliminate some site work
• Replace play equipment
• Construction in Spring of 2007
Advantage: Provides a safe and improved play area within existing budget
Disadvantage: Removes artistic features and play area theme, eliminates some site
improvements such as entry ramps, planters within play area, and some shaded seating.
Alternative 2: Scope Reduction 1
• Construct only two of four proposed Blooms
• Reduced site work
• Begin construction in Fall of 2006
Advantage: Provides a safe and improved play area with minimal cost increase, includes some
artistic theme for play area
Disadvantage: Reduces artistic/design impact
Alternative 3: Scope Reduction 2
• $56,000 Savings from Bid Price with little impact to play value
• Construct three of four proposed Blooms
• Reduced Site Work
• Begin construction in Fall of 2006
Advantage: Maintains artistic integrity and playground theme with little to no decrease in play
value from Bid design
Disadvantage: Increased expense
Considerations
• Since February there have been increases in construction and materials costs.
• Existing large structure was to be reused with minor modifications, however recent
inspection shows that the existing post bases are rotting and in need of replacement.
• Most reputable contractors are committed to other projects, creating a less competitive
market, and allowing contractors to charge a premium for their services.
• Re-bidding the project in the spring may solicit additional bids, but there is no insurance that
the price would decrease.
• Bighorn Park is Vail's third largest play area (behind Ford and Donovan Parks) serving the
entire East Vail neighborhood.
Schedule
With a recommendation from the Council, construction could begin in the next week or two.
Requested Council Action
Staff is requesting the following from the Council
1. Work Session: Determine the appropriate Alternative
2. Evening Session: ~) approve the project budget, and 2) direct the Town Manager to
enter into a contract for construction of the project. The amount of the contract will be
determined by the outcome of the Work Session.

DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION REGARDING
WILDLIFE PROTECTION ORDINANCE.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE: In August of 2002, and in response to a dramatic
increase in human-bear conflicts, the Vail Town Council (the "Council") adopted
Ordinance No. 19, Series 2002, which amended the Vail Town Code (the "Code") to
include a Chapter regarding Wildlife Protection. The stated purpose of the Wildlife
Protection chapter was to "protect and maintain wildlife in the Town of Vail and
surrounding areas and to minimize the risk of dangerous interaction between
humans and wildlife." On July 11, 2006,Council directed staff to prepare
amendments to current wildlife protection ordinance. On July 18, 2006, the Council
passed an emergency measure which removed the warning requirement for first time
offenders from the current Wildlife Protection regulations and also eliminated the
maximum fine amounts set forth in the Code. Accordingly, first time offenders of the
current Wildlife Protection regulations are now subject to the General Penalty provision
of the Code (up to $999 in fines and incarceration of up to 180 days, or both). On August
1, 2006, the council heard testimony and evidence from Town Staff, members of the
community, licensed waste haulers and. the Colorado Division of Wildlife. The Council
then provided direction to amend the current regulations.

VIABLE BEAR RESISTANT CONTAINERS
Pictured below are two model types of bear resistant poly containers to be
considered by the Town of Vail. Both selections below include a "push to close"
mechanism that does not require the homeowner to latch the lid shut with thumb
clips. Once the lid is shut, the container cannot be opened by a bear. These cans are
manufactured by the largest supplier of bear resistant containers in North America,
therefore supply will not be an issue. The models below were tested by the Living
With Wildlife Foundation and approved by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee
(the industry standard) as bear resistant for 90 minutes. With Vail PD response times
averaging under 5 minutes, these cans are a viable alternative to metal containers.

BEAR PROOF CONTAINERS
Pictured below are numerous model types of bear proof containers to be considered
by the Town of Vail. All of the selections below include custom powder-coating in
the price. The custom powder-coating can be matched to any color chip which
ensures that they will conform with and/or compliments the exterior of any
residence or business. The powder-coating is guaranteed not to scratch, chip, crack,
or fade. It is similar to spray on bedliners found in pickup trucks. Once ordered,
production output is up to 40 custom units per day.

VIABLE BEAR RESISTANT CONTAINERS
Pictured below are two model types of bear resistant poly containers to be
considered by the Town of Vail. Both selections below include a "push to close"
mechanism that does not require the homeowner to latch the lid shut with thumb
clips. Once the lid is shut, the container cannot be opened by a bear. These cans are
manufactured by the largest supplier of bear resistant containers in North America,
therefore supply will not be an issue. The models below were tested by the Living
With Wildlife Foundation and approved by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee
(the industry standard) as bear resistant for 90 minutes. With Vail PD response times
averaging under 5 minutes, these cans are a viable alternative to metal containers.

Re: July Sales Tax
On the reverse side please fmd the latest sales tax worksheet. I estimate I'll collect
another $50,000.00 in July sales tax to bring July collections to $1,245,048.00. If so, we
will be up 9.55% or $108,572.00 from budget and up 6.76% or $78,865.00 from July
2005.
