My wife, Paulina, recently graduated from CU Boulder Law School and works at Wear, Travers, and Perkins, P.C., in West Vail. We have lived in East Vail since May of 2002. I would like to serve on the P.E.C. because I feel a strong sense of civic duty and want to contribute positively to Vail. I believe that I am a skilled consensus builder and communicator, .and feel that these are likely the most valuable skills I can bring to the P.E.C. initially. I have worked on real estate development financing my entire career, both as a banker and as a developer. However, I humbly acknowledge that I still have a lot to learn. In that regard, I hope to gain a lot from m:y experiences on P.E.C., if I am appointed. In the long-term, I hope to put the skills I gain to use by eventually running for Town Council, among other ways. I have been considering strongly running for Town Council this November, but feel that preparation is the key to success and think that P.E.C. will help me fill gaps in my knowledge that leave me a less qualified candidate that I wish to be. That being said, I will not approach the P.E.C. selfishly or as a stepping stone. I believe the prior results of my various volunteer duties and civic responsibilities show that I am a focussed person and that I invest myself fully in activities in which I am involved. Thank you very much for your consideration Respectfully submitted, Scott Proper 970-331-1441 file:?/C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\XPgrpwise\46E7E23... 9/13/2007 + ~, y'\ 11pta'_S ~~+' August 27, 2007 Lorelei Please accept this letter as my resignation form the TOV Planning and Environmental Commission effective September 1St, 2007.

R Tate of an Rrtist r. W SP06 Feagrea.indd 30 • 2/10/06 1:14:52 PM • A mention of the monumental sculpture at 14th Street and Speer Boulevard in Denver is likely to elicit the response: "I love that bear!" The sculpture in question is DU Associate Professor Lawrence Argent's 40-foot-tall I See What You Mean, a Brobdingnagian blue beast that appears to be con- sidering the activities inside the soaring atrium of the Colorado Convention Center's new addition. Standing upright with its paws raised, the bear's aspect is quizzi- cal and friendly, as if the creature wants to attend con- vention breakout sessions. Installed last summer, the $425,000 bear-part of the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs' Public Art Program- has become something of a chamber of commerce poster child, even making a guest appearance in a Zippy the Pinhead comic. Locals, seeking an easily identifi- able meeting place downtown, now use the bear as a place to reconnoiter. And it's amassed an eclectic array of fans, from the toddlers who gambol about its feet to cranky guardians of public funds. Such fandom is rare for a piece of public sculpture. For the most part, public art is taken for granted as part of the landscape or, worse, derided as a titanic waste of resources. In his review of the piece, Westword critic Michael Paglia praised the bear for its ability to engage both the hoi polloi and the gallery set. "Almost everyone," he wrote, "is enthralled with the bear. This kind of positive response happens very rarely in the public-art realm." That the masses have embraced the whimsical bruin speaks to its accessibility and brilliance. This isn't a ferocious, flesh-eating grizzly. Rather, it is a Steiff bear writ large, a cozy Colorado icon juxtaposed against the ultra modern glass-and-steel exterior of the convention center. It also is an interesting work of art. 31U~iversity of Denver Text: Leslie Petrovski, BA'82, MA'91 and a Biq Blue Bear DU SP08 Fealures.indo 31 ~.~' 270/06 1:15:20 PM ~. ~: GU SPO6 Features.indd 32 The product of computer modeling, the ursine sculpture began life as a tiny plastic toy that Argent digitized with alaser-scanning device, giving him a computer file he could scale. Next, he employed animation software to give the figure character and the correct pose. It also enabled him to "reduce" his data, abstracting the bear into a few thousand triangular fac- ets. When he was finally satisfied with his design, he "printed" it using a machine that produces three-dimensional thermoplastic models. The resulting miniature that emerged was a brilliant, startling blue. The color delighted the artist, and though the bear's final shade evolved from that of the little prototype, from that moment on, the bear had to be blue. "This is a risky piece," Argent says. "It borders on being kitsch." Arguably, the bear straddles the line beriveen graphics and art. But put it in context and suddenly it's about the cerulean blue Colorado skies; the tension between wildlife and the built environment; nature and tech- nology; about seeing and being seen; about taking business and art a little less seriously. The bear exemplifies a conceit Argent has used before, wherein he simultaneously extrapolates and reduces simple figures. In his 2003 piece Virere, for example, he has exaggerated a clump of grass into 15- and 20-foot-tall aluminum blades that are planted in a median of living xeriscape in Englewood, Colo. Like the bear, Virere has the visual simplicity of a cartoon and the size of a colossus. Install it in a surprising context and it becomes, well, kind of funny. And intriguing. Born in England, Argent earned his BA in sculpture from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and his MFA from the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He came to DU as a profes- sor in 1993 after teaching at the Glassell School of Art in Houston, the University of California-Santa Barbara and Allan Hancock College in Santa Monica, Calif. A DU Distinguished Scholar, Argenl has shown his work all over the country, received grants and is rep- resented in Denver by the William Havu Gallery. Mary Voelz Chandler, the art and architecture critic at the Rocky Mountain News and along-time admirer of Argent's work, doesn't want to see him typecast as the guy who made the Big Blue Bear. "He is a seri- ous artist with a great gift for taking simple things, making them look different and challenging our perceptions. [hope the bear opens people's eyes to the other work he does."

Restive and hardworking, Argent has a reputation among students for being a thoughtful, if tough, critic. "1 don't sugar coat," he admits. "But teaching what I teach presents a wonderful opportunity to open people's minds to different experiences, to assist them in discovering their own possibilities. It's opening them to the possibilities that can exist and do exist." "Because he's a working artist, he brought a sense of professionalism to the classroom," observes Joshua Bemelen, BFA '98, one of Argent's former students. "He taught me a way to look at objects around me and brought forth this idea that fortes can be many things, that there's this dialogue between history and objects." The word "conversation" arises again and again regarding Argent's work. He loves the idea of art engaging people and imbues his own work with a marked what's-up-with-that factor. His pieces are, to a large extent, mammoth conversation starters. Consider his 1999 sculpture Cojones. Constructed from red street sweeper brushes and steel, the piece was comprised of two enormous glandular-shaped brushes suspended from the ceiling. What are those big, swing- ing things about? Why are those lips (Whispers, 2002) on poles near the Ritchie Center? Why is there a pile of marble pillows (Pillow Talk, 2001) at 19th and Penn? This isn't art as commodity. This is art that demands both titters and questions. By bringing art into the public sphere where birds do their business and people take notice or not, art becomes a democratic experience. "You go into a gallery," Argent says, "and there's this sense of connoisseurship, that what is inside is impor- tant. If you permit the individual to approach art in a manner that's more attuned to the self, you open up the possibilities of an experience that's not dictated by our baggage." In recent years, Argent has pursued public projects not just because they dovetail nicely with his non-elitist views, but also because they enable him to function as a parent, professor and creator. Since massive works of art are largely collaborative, the public artist, in addition to conceiving the "big idea," becomes a kind of ringmaster in the process, managing budgets, finding resources and prodding vendors in the realization of the idea. In the case of the blue bear, Argent collaborated with California-based Kreysler and Associates, which Fabricated the bear out of steel, fiberglass and concrete. The ability to dip in and out of a project during its less intense phases makes it possible, Argent says, for an artist to create, harness additional expertise and bal- ance the exigencies of modern living. With I See What You Mean now complete, Argent has moved on to other public pieces, including a commission outside the Fort Collins Museum of Contemporary Art and an installation in the median strip in old town Aurora. Once again, he is working not so much to make art For a site, but to "make the site art." ~] r~. i W SPo8 FsMUres.indd 34 i\f ~ 2/1p~08 1:18:31 PM LAWRENCE ARGENT 3014 Wyandot St. Denver, CO 80211 303 433 8263 VOICE 303 561 0585 FAX www.lawrenceargent.com Education 1979 -1983 B.

Dear Council Members, Enclosed for your review is a copy of Lawrence Argent's public art plan for Solaris. The artist will be presenting this concept to the Town Council on Tuesday evening, September 18, 2007. According to the Town of Vail Developer Agreement, Solaris must provide at least $1.1 million in public art to be located on the project site. In compliance with the process outlined in the Developer Agreement, we have included; • A narrative and visual dgscription of the proposed artwork • An itemized budget ' • The Art's resume and background information • Installation Schedule -due to the integrated nature of this design, the artwork will be installed at the time of construction which is scheduled for completion in late 2009. Should this fail to take place, the Developer has agrees to issue a bond until the work is complete. • The Solaris Metro District will be responsible for the maintenance of this public art and will follow the recommendations provided by the artist. Lawrence has suggested the sculptures be power washed every six months. The lights in the Geyser will last approximately 100,000 hours, or 10 years. At that time, the entire piece should be dismantled and a UV coating should be reapplied to the bubbles, the bronze elements should be cleaned and re-surfaced. The stone and glass blocks will also require a biannual power washing. According the Artist Contract, once the finished pieces have been realized, a detailed maintenance manual will be provided to the Developer by the artist and fabricators. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to answering any questions you may have. Sincerely, Mic el Su an TOWN PROPOSED 2008 BUDGET SEPTEMBER 18, 2007 First Reading Town of Vail Proposed 2008 Budget Table of Contents 2008 Budget Highlights This is a verbal summary of the key assumptions, changes, and results of the 2008 proposed Budget.

GENERAL FUND The General Fund supports the town's basic municipal operations. The attached General Fund budget proposal reflects revenue over expenditures of $95,806. REVENUE - $29,430,727 The General Fund's primary source of revenue is sales tax ($11.6 million) followed by property and ownership tax ($3.8 million), parking and charter bus service ($3.7 million) and lift tax ($3.1 million). Licenses and permit fees are also expected to provide significant amounts of revenue ($2.4 million) in 2008, primarily due to major redevelopment projects. Sales Tax - $11,640,000 (60%) Total sales tax is projected at $19,400,000. In this budget proposal, 60% of the town's 4% general sales tax is allocated to the General Fund. The remaining 40% is allocated to the Capital Projects Fund. By Charter, approval of this budget will require an affirmative vote by five out of seven Council Members because less than 50% of the sales tax revenue will be dedicated to capital acquisition and improvements. Sales tax revenue is impacted by many variables including: snow conditions, the number of days Vail Mountain is open; local and international travel conditions; construction activity in Vail; and the economy in general. The 2006/2007 ski season generated excellent sales tax revenue, with some revenue loss related to construction activity more than offset by strong skier days and a strong economy. We budgeted the 2008 sales tax revenue to increase approximately 14°lo from the 2007 budget and 8% higher than the 2007 projected collections. Redevelopment projects are also considered in the projections with new revenue expected from the opening of the Arrabelle, Vail Plaza Hotel and One Willow Bridge Road and a loss of revenue from former Crossroads businesses. Property and Ownership Tax - $3,843,500 Property tax is estimated based on information from the Eagle County Assessor's Office. Although final numbers are not expected until November (after the second reading of the budget in October), we have built in a reduction for successful appeals. Property tax is budgeted at $3,660,000 with ownership tax expected to contribute $183,500. Lift Tax - $3,123,852 This is a 4% tax on ski area admissions. We have budgeted an 8% increase from the 2007 budget, and a 5% increase from actual results in 2006. Licenses and Permit Fees - $2,353,950 The largest component of licenses and permits is construction permit fees, which include building, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical permits. The 2008 budget for construction permits -1- totals $1,347,000, with $746,826 coming from major redevelopment projects such as the Gorsuch building, Lionshead Inn / Fogata and the Concert Hall Plaza. Compared with the 2007 ammended budget, licenses and permit fees are down $134,000 or 10%. Plan check fees represent an additional $78~,OOO of the license and permit fee category in 2008, with design review, Planning & Environmental Commission (PEC), contractor's licenses, liquor licenses and various other categories making up the remainder. Plan check fees are down from the 2007 projected budget by approximately $305,000, or 39%. These fees are budgeted conservatively with major projects budgeted only when the submittal for plan review is received. Since many of the large development plan reviews are outsourced, the associated costs are also appropriated only when the submittal is received. EXPENDITURES - $29,334,196 Salary and Benefits Approximately 60% of the town's expenditures for municipal services are salary and benefits. The 2008 budget proposal includes aperformance-based merit increase pool averaging 5% of salaries. Staff feels this is the minimum funding needed to remain an average payer among our competitor group. Also included is a combined benefits rate of 36.8% (40.3% for full time regular employees and 9.6% for seasonal and part-time employees). Although healthcare costs continue to rise each year, we have maintained the full-time benefits rate at the same percentage of.salaries as budgeted in 2007. The town's total employment base is budgeted at 295.4 full-time, seasonal and part-time positions, up from 288 this year. As proposed, the budget puts an added emphasis on public safety while maintaining remaining municipal service levels. In particular, up to four new firefighter positions are possible next year, in consultation with the new fire chief. The positions would start mid-year, to assist in the eventual start-up of a third fire station, which is proposed to be designed in 2008 and constructed in 2009. The selection of a new fire chief will be announced this fall. Other increases include additional seasonal staffing positions for services such as summer parking hosts and additional street cleaning. A full-time equivalent (FTE) was added during 2007 for the formation of our Economic Development department, so this shows as a new FTE as compared to the origina12007 budget. Economic Development The economic activities previously managed by the Town Manager and other areas within town have bean consolidated into a new Economic Development department. Incremental funding was not required to form this department. Contributions, Marketing, and Special Events Staff has recommended funding for a new cycling event, the "International Cycle Classic," which increased expenditures by $150,000 compared with the previous draft of the town manager's budget and with last year. Without this addition, the recommended contributions increased by 6% from the prior year. Contributions and special event expenditures from the general fund total $1.1 nullion (another $280K is contributed from the Marketing Fund and $170IC from the RETT Fund). During our last discussion of the General Fund budget, we had been asked to consider additional funding for the Teva Mountain Games. USA Climbing informed Untraditional Marketing (UM) the second week of August '07 that the Climbing Wall World Cup had been awarded to Vail. -2- Originally, UM was going to ask the Commission on Special Events (CSE) for cash :funding of $110,000 ($90,000 was awarded in 2007); due to this additional award of the World Cup, UM is now requesting another $50,000, bringing the cash funding to $160,000 and in-kind of $9,500. In addition to the funding request is the need for a permanent location for a climbing wall in order to secure a longer term hosting of the Climbing Wall World Cup. The CSE heard this presentation on August 28th and endorsed the event. Staff recommends that Teva Mountain Games make a full request of $160,000 to the CSE, and encourages the CSE to consider this request for inclusion in a supplemental appropriation if they deem appropriate. Staff will continue to work with both the CSE and Vail Recreation District (VRD) to establish a. climbing wall location. Redevelopment The proposed 2008 budget includes approximately $1.5 million for outsourced building inspections under contract with SAFEbuilt Colorado (previously Colorado Inspection. Agency) for major redevelopment projects. The budget also accommodates continued redevelopment efforts by retaining 12 temporary positions to assist with building inspections, plans review and other essential duties. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND REVENUE - $8,774,227 Sales tax is a primary revenue source for capital projects. For 2008, $7,760,000 or 40% of the town's projected sales tax revenue is allocated to the Capital Projects Fund. PROJECT EXPENDITURES - $7,189,635 In addition to ongoing capital maintenance, noteworthy projects for 2008 include: • Streetscape for West and East Meadow Drive of $1,720,000 • Replacement of 1998 radios for Police, Fire and Public Works of $495,500 • Electronic imaging of all historical town documents, $350,000 • Planning and design of a third fire station, $250,000 • Planning and design of neighborhood roads and bridges, $225,000 REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX FUND REVENUE - $8,701,708 The primary revenue source for this fund is the 1 % real estate transfer tax,' accounting for $8,230,000 in projected revenue for 2008. Additional funding is .provided by the golf course lease with VRD; and recreational amenities fees assessed on new residential square footage. The transfer tax revenue projection includes $2.8 million in 2008 from large development projects including Arrabelle, Cascade Residences and continued sales within the Vail Plaza Hotel. EXPENDITURES - $8,834,656 Use of the RETT Fund is restricted by ordinance to parks, recreation, open space, and environmental sustainability. In addition to ongoing maintenance items and. park/path development, the following noteworthy items are included in the proposal: • Streetscape for West and East Meadow Drive of $1,250,000 • Frontage Road bike lanes /trails of $1,275,000 -3- • Ford Park improvements resulting from the recreational master plan, specifically looking at a left entry lane and potential parking. $1,500,000 • Anew park in Lionshead (location to be determined) $928,000 • Reconstruction of the Red Sandstone playground/park $425,000 • Forest Health /Pine beetle mitigation of $360,000 (an. increase of $110,000) • Environmental Sustainability programs such as increased recycling and a solar project $250,000 VAIL MARKETING FUND Business license fees provide the revenue for this fund, which is restricted to marketing Vail. Revenue was increased by $10,500 to estimate the effect of new businesses within the Arrabelle. Expenditures for marketing through the Commission on Special Events (CSE) remain flat at $280,000. DEBT SERVICE FUND This fund is used to manage principal and interest on the town's outstanding debt. Funds. are transferred from the Capital Projects Fund to meet annual debt service requirements and to cover the next upcoming principal and interest payments on the 1998A and 2002B bonds. HEAVY EQUIPMENT FUND This is an internal services fund that manages the maintenance and repair of town vehicles and equipment and the purchase of replacement vehicles other than buses and fire trucks. Costs are charged back to departments based on their use of the vehicles and equipment. A 5.6% increase in charges back to the departments (and a 10% increase in overall expenditures) is attributable to fluctuating fuel costs and an increase in the amount of funds being set aside for future vehicle replacements. HEALTH INSURANCE FUND This internal services fund manages the costs of providing health and short-terns disability insurance to employees. Net costs are charged to departments as employee benefits. Since the town is self-insured on these items, a sufficient fund balance is maintained to absorb extraordinary claims. In 2007, the fund balance will decrease by an estimated $448,000 due to a high level of claims experience. However, there is still an appropriate balance related to our projected maximum exposure for 2008. DISPATCH SERVICES FUND This is an enterprise fund, e.g., more than half of its revenue is from sources outside of the town, managing emergency communications for all of Eagle County. The county and 911 Board currently fund seven dispatcher positions and a systems engineer. The county offered to pay for a new position (a Radio System Engineer), however staff does not support this new FTE due to the potential impact to our healthcare exposure. -4- Town of Vail 2008 Budget Summary of Changes in Personnel From 2007 Original Budget to 2008 Budget Expanded Services: Community Development -Planning Intern Public Works -Streets: Extended cleaning Public Works -Summer Parking New fiire fighter positions for public safety Capital Projects -Document Imaging Economic Development Total FTEs related to Expanded Servcies: Adjustments: Administrative Services -Court Total Changes to FTE Count: 0.25 Seasonal 0.48 Seasonal 1.39 Seasonal 4,00 0.25 Fixed Term 1.00 7.37 0.10 7.47 -5- TOWN OF VAII, 2008 BUDGET TEN-YEAR SUMMARY OF BUDGETED POSITIONS BY DEPARTMENT Department 1999 2000 Full Time Regular Posihoav Funded by TOV 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2008 PosItioav Chang e Town Officials Administrative Services Community Development Fire Police and Communications Library Public Works, Streets & Roads, Lanc Transportation & Parking Fleet Maintenance Facility Maintenance Capital Projects Total FTE's -Full-Time Re ular 6.90 18.20 16.00 18.00 64.50 8.75 30.65 30.35 13.00 19.00 0.00 22535 6.90 16.40 15.00 18.00 63.50 .8.75 29.50 28.50 13.00 21.00 0.00 6.50 18.45 14.00 16.00 57.25 8.75 30.00 28.50 13.00 21.50 1.00 7.10 18.00 15.00 18.20 56.25 8.75 29.00 28.50 13.00 21.50 1.00 7.10 18.00 15.00 18.20 54.25 8.75 29.75 28.50 13.00 20.50 1.00 6.50 18.00 14.00 18.00 54.25 6.38 29.75 27.50 13.00 20.50 1.00 6.90 19.15 13.85 18.00 56.25 6.38 31.25 30.50 13.00 20.00 1.00 6.90 18.15 13.85 18.00 54.25 6.38 31.75 31.00 13.00 20.00 0.00 7.06 19.68 15.18 18.00 54.50 6.63 31.75 31.00 13.00 20.00 0.00 6.23 21.02 15.18 22.00 54.50 6.63 31.75 31.00 13.00 20.00 0.00 (0.83) 1.34 0.00 4.00 0.00 0:00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 220.55 214.95 216.30 214.05 208.88 216.28 213.28 216.80 221.31 481 Fixed Term andlor Externally Funded Employees Administrative Services Community Development Fire Police and Communications 2.00 Public Works, Streets & Roads, Landscaping Capital Projects Tnt91 FCYPd_To.....ic_-_~_ 1.00 1.00 1.00 2.00 2.00 4.00 4.00 7.50 8.00 0.75 - 1.00 - - 0.00 6.00 6.00 5.00 4.00 (1.00) 1.00 2.00 2.00 2.00 0.00 7.98 11.48 12.48 12.48 0.00 I.75 i.63 1.63 1.63 0.00 2.00 2.38 2.38 2.63 0.25 - -- a.vv z.vu 4.00 1.75 18.73 24.49 23.49 22.74 -6- TOWN OF VAIL 2008 BUDGET TEN-YEAR SUMMARY OF BUDGETED POSITIONS BY DEPARTMENT 2008 De arttnent Positions P 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Change Seasonal Positions -Funded bl' TOV Town Officials 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Administrative Services 0.42 0.42 0.42 0.42 0.42 0.42 0.98 1.04' 0.59 1.19 0.60 Community Development 0.48 0.48 0.96 0.96 0.96 0.48 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.25 1.25 Fire 1.40 1.40 1.40 1.51 1.68 7.20 7.20 0.00 Police and Communications 1.02 1.02 0.93 0.93 0.48 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 Library 0.93 0.93 0.93 0.93 1.09 2.48 2.48 2.48 1.70 1.70 0.00 Public Works) Streets & Roads/I,artd 8.82 9.26 10.18 10.18 9.55 7.57 8.69 8.94 11.42 11.90 0.48 Transportation & Parking 25.90 25.90 25.75 28.00 26.89 25.84 23.24 22.78 25.31 26.70 1.39 Facility Maintenance 0.83 0.83 0.83 0.83 0.83 1.33 1.33 1.36 1.38 1.38 0.00 Total Seasonal/ Part-Time 38 40 38 84 40 00 43 65 41 62 39 52 38 23 38 28 47 60 51 32 3 72 All FTE's (Foil-Time Egrrivaleuty) Town Officials 6.90 6.90 6.50 7.10 7.10 6.50 6.90 6.90 7.06 6.23 (0.83) Administrative Services 18.62 16.82 18.87 19.42 19.42 19.42 20.13 20.19 20.27 22.21 1.94 Community Development 16.48 15.48 14.96 15.96 15.96 16.48 19.85 19.85 20.18 20.43 0.25 Fire 18.00 18.00 16.00 19.60 19.60 19.40 20.51 21.68 27.20 31.20 4.00 Police and Dispatch 67.52 66.52 62.18 61.18 62.23 62.25 64.23 65.73 66.98 66.98 0.00 Library 9.68 9.68 9.68 9.68 9.84 8.86 8.86 8.86 8.33 8.33 0.00 Public Works, Streets & Roads 39.47 38.76 40.18 39.18 39.30 37.32 41.69 42.32 44.80 45.28 0.48 Transportation&Parking 56.25 54.40 54.25 56.50 55.39 53.34 53.74 53.78 56.31 57.70 1.39 Fleet Maintenance 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 13.00 0.00 Facility Maintenance 19.83 21.83 22.33 22.33 21.33 21.83 21.33 21.36 21.38 21.38 0.00 Total FTE's 1.00 1.00 1 00 265.75 261.39 258.95 264.95 264.17 1.75 3.00 2.38 2.38 2.63 0.25 260.15 273.24 276.05 287.88 295.37 7.48 ,~.

ECONOMIC A. Bravo! Colorado BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival is requesting $,175,000 to help fund travel, administration, marketing, advertising and promotional expenses for the 2008 Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic -Vail Residency prograrris. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding at $175,000 (same as 2007 Contributions). Historically, the Town of Vail has contributed funding the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra Tier 1 programs as well as another $25,000 towards Bravo! operating expenses. The town has historically paid $1,800 for advertising within the Bravo! publication, but will now receive that placement for no charge. The cultura{ benefit to the Town of Vail and the tourist attraction of this event are major factors in staff's recommendation for funding. B. Vail Farmer's Market. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vail Farmer's Market is requesting $4,000 of in-kind value to cover the cost of services provided by the Town of Vail during the events, and $6,000 of cash to cover the cost of traffic control. The Commission on Special Events funded $50,000 toward the Farmer's Market in 2007. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the in-kind request of $4,000 which will be included in the town's 2008 operating budget. Staff also recommends funding the $6,000 cash as requested. C. Vail Jazz Foundation BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Jazz Foundation is requesting $12,000 to help fund the Vail Jazz Festival's Labor Day Weekend Party September 2008. They are also requesting $6,000 of funding for the "Jazz Goes to School" program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the Labor Day Weekend Party at the same amount as 2007: $7,500. Staff does not recommend funding the jazz music education program. D. Colorado Ski Museum BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The museum is requesting total funding of $119,000 and 4 parking passes. The funding will be used as follows: $69,500 to construct new display lighting; $4,500 reduction in rent (50%); $20,000 to create a new Vail's history display; $10,000 for the final portion of a matching grant to purchase large screen & seating forthe theater; $15,000 to design the exhibit of ski and snowboard artifacts using multimedia /interactive technology. 12 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the $20,000 to create a new Vail historical display. With such high parking demand in our community, staff does not recommend parking passes (one blue pass is already granted as part of their lease). The remaining items are not recommended for funding. E. Vail Valley Partnership (WP) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The WP is requesting funding for various programs, totaling $48,850. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The Town has supported the SummerAir Program each year, and recommends funding of $12,000 at the same level as 2007. Programs not recommended for funding include: - Platinum Service Program (PSP) for Vail construction mitigation because the town fuinds internal construction mitigation programs. However, staff recommends that the town participate in PSP mystery shops as in prior years. - Platinum Service Online Program because this item is not appropriate for town funding. - Competitive Analysis Program because this duplicates internal programming at the town. - Trends Services (Lodging Occupancy report) are covered within the Vail Local Marketing District budget. - WP Events and Programs because the events and activities should be funded by chamber memberships and fundraising. F. Vail Valley Foundation (WF) BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Foundation is requesting $21,500 of in-kind funding for the use of town services during various winter events (Birds of Prey, The Session and the American Ski Classic). They are also requesting $105,750 of cash funding and $10,300 of in-kind for entertainment programs (Street Beat; Vail International Dance Festival, and Hot Summer Nights). The Vail Valley Foundation (WF) presented a proposed cycling event for 2007 that ultimately was withdrawn because major sponsorship was not secured. At that time, Council had earmarked $150,000 cash to support this event.

Criteria: The following factors shall be used to make a determination in issuance of Floodplain Permits: (1) The effects upon the efficiency or capacity of the Floodway; (2)The effects upon persons and personal property upstream, downstream and in the immediate vicinity; (3)The effects upon the one hundred year flood profile and channel stability; (4)The effects upon any tributaries to the main stream, drainage ditches and any other drainage facilities or systems; (5)The danger to life and property due to flooding or erosr"on damage; (6)The susceptibility of the proposed improvements and its contents to flood damage and the effect of such damage on the indivr'dual owner; (7)The danger that materials maybe swept onto other lands to the injury of others; (8)The compatibility of the proposed use with existing and anticipated development; Ordinance No. 28, Series of 2007 10 (9)The safety of access to the property in times of flood for ordinary and emergency vehicles; (10)The costs of providing governmental services during and after flood conditions including; maintenance and repair of streets and bridges, and public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical and wafer systems; (11)The expected heights, velocity, duration, rate of rise and sediment transport of the flood waters and the effects of wave action, if applicable, expected at the site; (12)The effect the proposed changes will have any adverse environmental effect on the watercourse, including without limitation, erosion of streambanks and streamside frees and vegetation and wildlife habitat; (13)The necessity to the facility of a waterfront location, where applicable; (14)The availability of alternative locations, not subject to flooding or erosion damage, for the proposed use; (15)The relationship of the proposed use to the comprehensive plan for that area. b. Findings: The following findings shall be made before granting of a floodplain permit: (1) Thaf the proposed use or modification adequately addresses the findings in Subsection 12-21-11E-3A, as determined by the Floodplain Administrator. ,unless the applicant can demonstrate that one or more of the standards is not applicable, or that a practical solution consistent with the public interest has been achieved. (2) That the proposed use or modification is consistent with the adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and compatible with the development objectives of the town; and (3) That the proposed use or modification is compatible with and suitable to adjacent uses and appropriate for the surrounding areas; and (4) Thaf the proposed use or modification promotes the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential community of the highest quality. 4. Permit Fees: The town council shall set a floodplain .permit schedule sufficient to cover the cost of town staff time, consultant fees, and incidenltal expense. 5. Expiration of Permit: Floodplain Permits shall expire two (2) years after its date of issuance if the permiftee has not started construction under the permit. F. Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction 1. General Standards: In all areas of special flood hazards, the following provisions are required for all new construction and substantial improvements: a. Habitable structures or improvements shall NOT be permitted to be constructed within the one-hundred year floodplain. Improvements that may be approved for construction within the one-hundred year floodplain include: (1) Temporary grading in the Floodplain approved by the Floodplain Administrator, in which the site is returned to ifs existing grade and conditions; Ordinance No. 28, Series of 2007 71 (2)Ufility construction/maintenance within the Floodplain approved by the Floodplain Administrator which is deemed to have an insignificant impact to the Floodplain; (3)Streambank stabilization within the floodplain approved by the Floodplain Administrator and is deemed to have an insignificant impact to the Floodplain; (4)Public Infrastructure construction/maintenance approved by the Floodplain Administrator including but not limited to roads, bridges, recreation paths, walks, stream drop structures, and stream erosion control measures which are deemed to have an insignificant impact to the Floodplain. b. An insignificant impact to the Floodplain shall be defined as: An improvement in the floodplain that is a public benefit that meets the criteria set out in Subsection 12-21-11F-1A and causes no negative impacts to adjacent properties and no permanent localized cumulative increase in the adopted Base Flood Elevations (BFE) greater than 0.25' vertical feet. The applicant shall apply for a conditional FIRM and floodway revision through FEMA, if applicable. c. All new structures or improvements, unless otherwise specifically provided iFor within this Chapter, shall not influence the 100-year floodplain and shall maintain a minimum clear distance from the 100-year floodplain of one (1) foot in both the horizontal and vertical directions. d. Floor plans and elevations illustrating that the lowest floor elevations includiing basement, of the new or substantially improved structure, shall be elevated i`o at least one foot (1) above the base flood elevation. e. All approved new or modified improvements shall be designed (or modified) and adequately anchored fo prevent flotation, collapse or lateral movement of the improvement resulting from hydrodynamic and hydrostatic loads, including the effects of buoyancy; f. All new approved construction or modified improvements shall be constructed by methods and practices that minimize flood damage; g. All new approved construction or modified improvements shall be constructed with materials resistant fo flood damage; h. All existing non-conforming structures located within the 100 year f/oodplairr that may require maintenance shall not negatively impact the adopted BFE's or adjacent properties in anyway, unless as provided by Subsection 12-21-11F- 1A.; and shall increase conformity and flood protection as required by the Floodplain Administrator (i.e. floodproofing, flotation prevention, flood resistant materials, etc...). i. All existing non-conforming structures that may require maintenance to operational systems that are within the floodplain shall be constructed with electrical, heating, ventilation, plumbing, and air conditioning equipment and other service facilities that are designed and/or located so as to prevent water from entering or accumulating within the components during conditions of flooding. j. All new and replacement water supply systems shall be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system; k. New and replacement sanitary sewage systems shall be designed to minimi:-e or eliminate infiltration of flood waters into the system and discharge from the systems into flood waters; and, Ordinance No. 28, Series of 2007 12 1. On-site waste disposal systems shall be located to avoid impairment to them or contamination from them during flooding. 2. Standards For Areas Of Shallow Flooding (AO/AH Zones) Located within the areas of special flood hazard established in Subsection 12-21- 116, are areas designated as shallow flooding. These areas have special flood hazards associated with base flood depths of 1 to 3 feet where a clearly defined channel does not exist and where the path of flooding is unpredictable and where velocity flow maybe evident. Such flooding is characterized by ponding or sheet flow; therefore, the following provisions apply: a. All new construction and substantial improvements of residential structures have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade of least as high as the depth number specified in feet on fh~e community's FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified). b. All new construction and substantial improvements ofnon-residential structures; have the lowest floor (including basement) elevated above the highest adjacent grade at least as high as the depth number specified in feet on the community's FIRM (at least two feet if no depth number is specified), or; together with attendant utility and sanitary facilities be designed so that below the base flood level the structure is watertight with walls substantially impermeable to the passage of water and with structural components having the capability of resisting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic loads of effects of buoyancy. c. A registered professional engineer or architect shall submit a certification fo the Floodplain Administrator that the standards of this Chapter.are satisfied. d. Require within Zones AH or AO adequate drainage paths around structures on slopes, to guide floodwaters around and away from proposed structures. 3. Floodways: Floodways -located within areas of special flood hazard established in Subsection 12-21-11B, are areas designated as floodways. Since the floodway is an extremely hazardous area due to the velocity of floodwaters which carry debris, poten#ial projectiles and erosion potential, the following provisions shall apply: . a. Encroachments are prohibited, including fill, new construction, substantial improvements and other development within the adopted regulatory floodway unless if has been demonstrated through hydrologic and hydraulic analyses performed in accordance with standard engineering practice that the proposed encroachment would not result in any increase in flood levels within the community during the occurrence of the base flood discharge. b. if Subsection 12-21-11Fabove is satisfied, all new construction and substantial improvements shall comply with all applicable flood hazard reduction provisions of Subsection 12-21-11F. c. Under the provisions of 44 CFR Chapter 1, Section 65.12, of the Alational Flood Insurance Regulations, a community may permit encroachments within the adopted regulatory floodway that would result in an increase in base flood elevations, provided that the community first applies for a conditional FIRM and floodway revision through FEMA.

Slifer, Mayor Ordinance No. 28, Series of 2007 21 MEMORANDUM TO: Vail Town Council FROM: Community Development Department DATE: September 18, 2007 SUBJECT:. Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007, a resolution to adopt the Solaris Parking Management Plan, and setting forth details in regard thereto. Applicant: Solaris Property Owner, LLC, represented by Maurielo Planning Group, LLC Planner: Warren Campbell PURPOSE The purpose of this hearing is to review Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007, a resolution to adopt the Solaris Parking Management Plan, pursuant to the requirements of the Crossroads Development Agreement dated March 22, 2006, and setting forth details in regard thereto. II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL Approve, approve with modifications, or deny Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007. III. BACKGROUND On March 22, 2006, the Town. ,Council agreed to the Crossroads Development Agreement which addressed the many public aspects of the Solaris project. One of those aspects was the management of the 81 excess parking spaces in the subterranean garage which are a portion of the public benefit to offset the deviations that were approved. The Crossroads Development Agreement required that the applicant return to the Town Council for review and approval of the parking management plan prior to submitting for a building permit. This request is being proposed to satisfy that requirement. The following is the text of the Crossroads Development Agreement which addresses Parking Management. a. Parking Management. Before applying for a building permit for the Crossroads Project, Crossroads must submit and the Town Council must approve a parking management plan (the "Parking Management Plan') which sets forth, in sufficient detail, the proposed use, operation and management of the parking facility planned in connection with the Crossroads Project (the "Parking Facility'). The Town Council. shall approve the Parking Management Plan so long as it is reasonably calculated fo (i) maximize the use and occupancy of the Parking Facility and (ii) ensure that spaces not used by owners of residential condominium units or by commercial tenants or owners are available to the general public to the greatest extent possible. Such approval shall' not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Public Works Department has reviewed the. submitted Solaris Parking Management Plan dated August 31, 2007. The Public Warks Department believes the plan will effectively function and operate in a manner to most highly utilize the excess parking within. the project and the required parking in the project. However, there are two points of concern/question with the proposed plan that require additional discussion. The first being, that it appears that users of the parking will have to pay for their parking at a "Pay-on-Foot (POF) Station" prior to exiting the garage at which point a validated. ticket would open the gate for exiting. It is unclear if the ability to pay for parking can occur at the exit gate, or will there be the possibility that a vehicle could get to the gate without a validated ticket and be unable to exit with cars stacking up behind them? The second being, that it is a little unclear how parking spaces in the residential' parking area being utilized by vehicles not associated with the. residential units, will become available when the demand for residential parking increases. How will parking demand for vehicles associated with the residential units bey addressed in the even that the needed parking is occupied by vehicles noi: associated with the residential units? IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Vail Town Council approve Resolution No. 22, Series of 2007. V. ATTACHMENTS A. Solaris Parking Management Plan dated August 31, 2007 B.

W Suite A Vail, CO 81657 • Functional Design ^ Parking Studies • Investigations ^ Structural Design Re: Solaris Parking Management Plan This document defines official parking management plan for Solaris. The goal of the Solaris Parking Operations is to maximize the availability of public parking. The Solaris parking garage is separated into three uses; public parking, residential parking and a private parking club. The lowest level (Garage Level) consists of the residential parking, parking club and public parking. Both Level 1 (Plaza Level) and Level 2 (Entry Level) are entirely dedicated to public parking. Entry/ Exit Lanes and Equipment Lane 1 (Entry Lane) a. All patrons will use this lane to enter the parking area. Control equipment will be located at this entry point; it will allow the automatic vehicle identification (AVI) patrons to enter quickly and easily vvithout having to handle or insert an access card. The gate will open when the AVI reader senses a valid card. There will also be equipment which will allow public parking patrons to receive a parking ticket and open the gate. 2. Lane 2 (Entry/Exit Lane) a. All patrons will use this lane to either enter or exit the parking area dependant on the time of day or at the discretion of the operations manager. The dual functionality of the lane is to minimize the impact of traffic during busy times, i.e., mornings during ski season or Saturday and Sunday afternoons during winter and summer seasons. The same entry equipment from Lane 1 will be utilized in addition to a Pay on Foot system. This system operates without an attendant. The patron takes the ticket to a kiosk located in appropriate egress locations before returning to their vehicle, they pay the fee and receive the ticket back. `Y/hen they arrive at the exit lane in their vehicle they insert the ticket into a ticket verifier, which then opens the gate allowing them to leave. Control equipment will also be located at this point to allow the AVI patrons to enter or exit: quickly. Lane 3 (Exit Lane) a. All patrons will use this lane to exit the parking area. During the times Lane 2 performs as an exit lane, Lane 3 will only allow AVI patrons to exit. This will minimize the wait tune at the exits for the residents and parking club patrons and eliminate congestion in the exit lanes. ~`Uhen Lane 2 performs as an entry lane, Lane 3 will return to functioning as an exit for the public patrons and AVI card holders. Exhibit A 3400 E Bayaud Avenue, Suite 300 • Denver CO 80209 • 303.35.1069 • www.parkingconsultantsllc.com a Solaris Vail July 20, 2007 Page 2 Parking Guidance System (PGS) 1. The parking guidance system (PGS) will activate illuminated signage which will indicate the number of parking spaces available by level; it will also indicate the number of parking spaces by parking bay on the Garage Level. The variable message sign at the entry of the garage will alert patrons to the availability of space on each level. Level signs will be located at the end of each bay to keep patron:; updated on the availability of spaces as they continue through the garage. This system has the capacity to publish Solaris parking availability to patrons via the Internet. 2. The illuminated signage is being update by the parking guidance system which is being fed information from directional sensors. These directional sensors count vehicles and will be utilized in the entry/exit as well as in each bay of the garage. 3. The parking guidance system will provide information to a central computer in order to monitor the usage of particular areas within the garage. Additionally, this central computer will be used to control the gates allowing access into the private and parking club areas. For example, when it is deterrnined that public parking patrons will be allowed to use the residential or parking club area of the garage, the central computer can send a signal to raise the gate. Automatic Vehicle Identification 1. Private and parking club patrons will enter and exit with AVI tags. Solaris will ensure that these tags are not shared between individuals. The AVI tags will be "tamper proof' and if they are removed from the vehicle windshield they are essentially destroyed and will not operate. Conversely, there will be parking patrons that will need an AVI card but only temporarily because some units will be rented out on a short term basis. 2. AVI reader equipment will control the gates that separate the parking club and private parking patrons from the public. These readers allow for quick and secure entry and exit and the readers will provide the central computer tracking of access by the AVI tags. As there will be times when public parking patrons will be allowed to park in the residential or parking club areas, the system will be designed to allow any vehicle to exit these areas even if they do not have an AVI tag. Residential Parking/ Parking Club To ensure that we maximize the usage of all parking spaces within the garage, Solaris will have operational measures in place to benefit the public parking patrons. We have developed a system in which the private parking areas will be open to the public on an availability basis. All residents or guests of Solaris will be required to check in with the Concierge in order to receive their temporary AVI card. After they have reported to the concierge, they will receive their AVI card. The AVI cards will be programmed in accordance with the length of their stay. This allows the management of the building to have an accurate count of how many owners and corresponding cars are and will be parked in the residential parking bays. 1~0 owner, unless a permanent resident, will have full access to the residential parking area. This operational tactic, in addition to the central computer system, will ensure the ability for public parking patrons to use both the residential parking bays and parking club when spaces are available. The following is an example of how the residential or parking club areas will work for public patrons: On the morning of a powder day, the public parking area is filling up quickly. The parking guidance system knows how many residents/guests can be accounted for within the gated residential parking bays. The system knows that 108 spots are available for residence parking but that only 30 cars are registered to park in 3400 E Bayaud Avenue, Suite 300 • Denver CO 80209. 303.355.1069 • www.parkingconsultantsllc.com d ,~, Solaris Vail July 20, 2007 Page 3 that area. Therefore when the public parking is full, the gate to the residential parking will open and allow 78 cars in before closing. The same principal will be applied to the parking club bays. This system will always be monitored by the operations manager to make certain that the interest of the residence owners as well as parking patrons are accounted for.
