(10 min.) BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail Master Deed Restriction for Vail Commons; Red Sandstone Creek, North Trail Townhomes and Pitkin Creek Park # 5-F and Vail Heights # 11 limits appreciation of these units to a maximum of 3% simple interest per year. Additionally, the recoupable Permitted Capital Improvements are also limited. The deed restriction has maintained the units as affordable to local employees. At this point in time it is prudent to expand the recoupable Permitted Capital Improvements to maintain the units at a desirable level. The goal of the suggested additional Permitted Capital Improvements is not to further the resale value of an Owner's home, but to provide some monetary relief if certain improvements are made and an Owner must sell their unit within afive-year period.

The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. The ninth item on the agenda was the Sale of 2079 Chamonix Lane # 11 and 4011 Bighorn Road # 6-H to Town of Vail employees. The Town of Vail, as an employer, recognizes that recruiting and retaining employees is; becoming more challenging. A key benefit to recruit and retain employees is housing. The Town of Vail provides certain municipal services that are critical to the overall. functionality of the entire town and if there is not adequate housing the town will not be~ able to provide critical municipal services. As stated in the minutes of the May 15, 2007, Town Council Meeting, Town Council unanimously agreed to purchase 2079 Chamonix: Lane # 11 and 4011 Bighorn Road # 6-H so "the unit(s) be included in the Town's employee housing stock." The units have been designated for "critical employees" who include: Firefighters, Police Officers, Dispatchers, Mechanics, Plow Operators, Building Maintenance Specialists, and Public Safety Systems Engineers. Two administrative actions were requested of Town Council: 1. A motion directing the Town Manager to amend the Town of Vail Master Deed Restriction for the two units mentioned above only. To require the listing of the unit upon no longer being employed by the Town of Vail in a form approved by the Town Attorney. As proposed, the amendment will require an owner of one of the above units to list the unit for sale with the Town of Vail within a specific period of time based on their length of employment with the Town of Vail and their length of ownership of the deed restricted unit. More specifically, as proposed, the subject owner would be required to list the unit in a time period equaling no greater than thirty (30) days for every year the owner has owned the unit and has been employed with the Town. Moffet moved to approve the first request of Item #10, Evening Session Meeting of the Vail Town Council on September 4, 2007, with Logan seconding. Kaye Ferry asked for clarification on the amount of time the employee could remain in a unit if he/she was not employed by the town. Mire responded, `The individual would be able to remain in the unit one month for every year employed by the town." The motion passed unanimously, 7-0. 2. A motion directing town staff to develop a policy for housing employees of the town of Vail. Staff recommends maintaining two separate employee housing programs. The Town of Vail, as an employer, needs- an employee housing program and the Town of Vail, as a government, needs a community wide employee housing plan. Recognizing that these two programs will be funded from the same pool of funds it will be important to fund each program separately. Moffet moved to approve the second request of Item #10, Evening Session Meeting of the Vail Town Council on September 4, 2007 with Logan seconding. 4 The tenth item on the agenda was the Second reading of Ordinance No. 26, Series of 2007, an ordinance approving the sale of the deed restricted property in the Town of Vail legally described as Vail Heights Condominium Unit # 11, Eagle County, Colorado with a physical address of 2079 Chamonix Lane, Vail, Colorado.

Vail Town Council Chambers The regular meeting of the Vail Town Council was called to order at approximately 6:00 P.M. by Mayor Rod Slifer. Members present: Rod Slifer, Mayor Greg Moffet Mark Gordon Kent Logan Farrow Hitt, Mayor Pro-Tem Kevin Foley Kim Newbury Staff Members: Stan Zemler, Town Manager Matt Mire, Town Attorney Pam Brandmeyer, Assistant Town Manager The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation. Bill Jewitt asked Council to call for the review of a liquor license approved for they Arrabelle at Vail Square, noting potential difficulties in communicating boundary areas tc~ guests. Town Attorney Matt Mire explained the issue had been discussed during they Local Liquor Licensing Authority meeting and Council had no authority to call up the decision. Hitt then asked if Vail Village could be licensed as a whole, similar to the circumstances occurring during the Oktoberfest event. Mire explained a single entity would need to be physically responsible for the licensed area. Logan then thanked Bill Jewitt for his longtime participation on Town Council and various town boards. Due to health reasons, Jewitt has resigned from the Planning and Environmental Commission and will move to Florida. Jewitt then received an ovation from the crowd. East Vaii homeowner Steve Tovoso asked Council for help resolving a party wall agreement. Council directed staff to contact the gentlemen and offer any information available. The second item on the agenda was a Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) Board Vacancy Appointment. There was one vacancy for the PEC and the Town Clerk's office received one fetter of interest. Council was asked to appoint one member to the PEC to complete the term vacated by Bill Jewitt, which ends March 31, 2009. Moffet moved to appoint Scott Proper to the PEC with Newbury seconding.

Planner Rachel Friede reported aweb-site developed by Visual Strategies meant to complement the Vail 20/20 visioning process would be too cost prohibitive to implement. Friede said it would cost $15,000 for a one time start-up fee. It was initially estimated to cost much less. Therefore, the town will proceed with other publication options for the 20/20 project. The fourth item on the agenda was Parking Policy and Rates Approval. Public Works Director Greg Hall reported the parking policy objectives used in years past were reviewed by the Parking Task Force. The parking plan policy objectives are: • Service Core Markets. • Skiers, shoppers, employees. • Manage the yield. • Simplify the Product. • Design project so it is revenue neutral. • Increase Safety. In addition, the Parking Task Force works with the following guidelines: • Strongly encourage the use of transit. • Recover transit enhancements costs through parking. • Parking cost increases will be borne by parking. • Encourage turnover of shopper parking spaces. • Have the rate of the shopper parking track closer to rates in the structure. • Raise the top rate to offset continued increased cost of operation. • Encourage carpooling. • Pass prices reflect a relative value received based on the daily rate (ie season cost is based on 21 week at five times per week at daily rate). • Strictly enforce parking violations. The parking task force recommended the following changes to the parking policies for the 2007-2008 season as follows: 2 - Rates and parking passes are proposed to adjust per the attached rate structure. Last year the only pass with an increase was the Gold Pass. Some pass prices have not been raised in the past five years. - Expand the use of the "free peak period areas" in West Vail during the 17 day holiday peak period from Friday, Saturday and Sunday to include all days during the peak period (12/21 - 01/06). - In recognition of significant increases in demand during the early season FOR THIS YEAR ONLY ('07-'08), allow the North Frontage Road in West Vail "free peak period area" to be used seven days a week up to the beginning of the holiday. peak period! (12/21). - Restrict the construction passes to the LionsHead Structure Monday through Thursday. New for this year - Do not allow entry to Ford Park or the Soccer Field parking area on peak days. - Recommend an increase in the maximum parking violation from $26 to an amount: closer to twice the maximum parking rate, e.g. 2 X $18 = $36 or to mirror shopper violations ($50). - If the town acquires the former Wendy's property, allow pass parking in that lot. - Enhance the shoulder of the North Frontage Road area between Wendy's and the Chamonix bus stop by leveling and providing an asphalt milling surface. - Consider Donovan Park for the early season only. - Provide enhanced transit service in the early season and during peak periods for the Wendy's lot and North. Frontage Road West Vail shoulder parking. - Enhance the summer parking management of the structures during peak periods (three additional seasonal positions have been included in the '08 budget). - This will be the last year current debit card holders can add value to cards without reapplying and verifying pass use criteria is met. In the '08-'09 season, require reverification of those wishing to purchase debit cards. - Cone off 50+ spaces in the Village Structure during peak times. Release their use in the' 9:30 A.M. time period to allow for some employees/guests to have a chance at these parking spaces. Hitt clarified a hanging placard will still be required to park in the Ford Park lot and the proposed reverification of debit card process will be publicly noticed. Moffet expressed concern that construction workers (as they arrive early in the morning) will obtain prime parking and Vail's target guest market will not be served. He then encouraged higher parking rates during peak ski times. He also emphasized, "By reducing vehicles on Friday and Saturday we can increase safety." Transit Manager Mike Rose stressed parking enforcement would be enhanced in the upcoming ski season: Hitt then encouraged enforcing length requirements on vehicles. During the citizen comment period, Randy Guerrero asked if parking at the Roost was possible. Hall responded the former hotel may be open again soon. Guerrero then asked who was able to purchase a value parking pass. He then questioned recent parking increases as they appeared to happen more frequently. Vail Village business owner Rob DeLuca said Village businesses suffered worse from parking restrictions (as their employees required parking during certain times). He expressed concern that a Gold parking pass ($2,100) was the only option for business owners to provide parking for their employees. "We have no realistic way to park." Representing the Vaif Chamber & Business Association, Kaye Ferry joined DeLuca in asking for a pass intended to serve the local business community. Moffet supported the idea as a pilot program. Village business owner Becky Magoon asked for parking availability closer to village businesses as loading and delivery was inconvenient. Moffet moved and Gordon seconded the preliminary adoption of the Parking Task Force recommendations with additional review by the Council of daily parking rates and a pilot merchant pass program at an upcoming meeting. Hall confirmed the Parking Task Force would reconvene and provide additional recommendations prior to the 07-08 ski season. Newbury suggested creation of the pilot merchant pass program for businesses that have no alternative parking. Foley and Newbury expressed concern that shopper parking rates are too low. The motion passed 6-1, with Foley opposed. The fifth item on the agenda was Resolution No. '23 Series 2007, a Resolution Approving the Development Agreement between the Town of Vail and Open Hospitality/Hillwood Capital Partners, Dated as of September 6, 2007. After nearly six months of negotiation, the town and aTexas-based development group, Open Hospitality/Hillwood Capital Partners, dba OHP Vail One, LLC ("OHP") have completed a proposed Development Improvement Agreement (the "Agreement") (DIA) for redevelopment of the LionsHead parking structure. The negotiation described above was preceded by a year-long competitive review process which included redevelopment proposals submitted by two developers, and resulted in the selection of OHP by the Council. Town staff and consultants, along with representatives from OHP, held a community meeting on September 10, 2007, to review with the public the details of the agreement. Following the background information, Gordon clarified the town would not be responsible for any operating deficits associated with the planned conference center. The operation of the conference center will be the responsibility of a metropolitan district to be formed by the developer and funded by the owners of the property. Representing OHP, Mark Masinter said he believed negotiations had been equitable. He then ensured Council that OHP was requesting flexibility, only due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e., labor shortage, terror attack, monetary crisis). When discussing potential delays, Masinter said, "It would have to just be something horrible for the project to stop...We are already going to be $40-50 million into this project." Representing the Vail Chamber & Business Association, Kaye Ferry stated, "I will always be opposed to the sale of Town of Vail land." She then spoke in opposition to spending additional dollars on a conference center as the community had voted against a conference center in 2005. Town legal representative Malcolm Murray clarified any amendments to the agreement would require formal action from the Town Council. Tom Steinberg clarified 1,450 public parking places would be replacing the 1,150 that currently exist. He then encouraged any private parking spaces included in the project be available to the public when not occupied. Masinter explained that private parking would be managed through a valet program. Steinberg then spoke of a fixed-rail system to help defer the need for additional parking in the long term. Rick Silverman questioned the financial responsibility of OHP with regard to the proposed conference center. Representing Stanwood Hotels & Resorts, George Boone announced both hotel brands (W 8~ St. Regis) were excited to be involved in the proposed development. Michael Cacioppo questioned the ability to build a conference center for the proposed $14 million amount. In response to another question by Cacioppo, Hitt stated Vail Resorts holds a deed restriction on the property. Therefore, Vail Resorts now has "a say" in the determination of the use of the property. Logan stated, `This single project is the most important project in terms of making the most progress this town has consistently identified as its two highest priorities, parking and employee housing." Logan encouraged Council to move forward with the development agreement and .categorically reject the recent housing proposal from Vail Resorts. "It is my fondest hope they (Vail Resorts) choose to work with Mark Masinter to 4 redevelop Timber Ridge." it was then discussed that the Temporary Certificate oi~ Occupancy (TCO) on the Arrabelle at Vail Square was contingent upon Vail Resorts" meeting contractual employee housing requirements. Moffet moved to adopt Resolution No. 23, Series of 2007 with the changes encompassed in the supplemental documeni~ provided. In addition, the motion added additional clarification to the document and included a request by the developer to allow one year of unilateral flexibility within they project timeline. Michael Cacioppo questioned whether Slifer and Gordon were able te~ vote due to a partner/employer relationship with Vail Resorts. Murray stated the twc~ were eligible to vote. Bill Jewitt asked that the agreement refer to a West LionsHead) location for a third parking structure development. Reid Weily questioned whether Vail Resorts could satisfy their employee housing requirement by purchasing existing units and placing a deed restriction upon them. Any such purchase would need to be in LionsHead area or area designated acceptable by the PEC. Foley reminded they audience the Ever Vail project has no town approvals. Hitt said, "I believe this project is~ premature...But the agreement gives the developer a chance to tighten up some loose. ends." Slifer expressed concern over the construction disruption that would occur in LionsHead. The motion passed 6-1, with Foley opposed. Newbury left the meeting. The sixth item on the agenda was the First Reading of the 2008 Budget Ordinance No. 29, Series 2007. During the afternoon work session, Council made no amendments to Ordinance 29, series 2007 for the 2008 Budget. However, the following comments were provided: Greg Moffet and Mark Gordon requested a presentation from Vail Valley Community TV' Channel 5 for the October 2 meeting regarding services and the franchise fee they receive from the town. Moffet also suggested that Council be included in the review of the Donovan Pavilion Management fee structure. Farrow Hitt asked about property tax revenue projections and concerns about the possibility of a limit placed on taxes by the state. Judy Camp clarified the town has legally "de-Braced" and is not limited in collection of property tax. She also explained the property tax revenue budget is based on the County Assessor's assessed value, but discounted to account for taxpayer appeals. Regarding the recent funding request for the Teva Mountain Games, the Council supported the event, and agreed the funding request should go through the Commission on Special Events. During the evening meeting, Kathleen Halloran presented the General Fund with net revenue over expenditure of $96,531 and an ending fund balance of $14.8 million (50% of revenue). Council direction is to have a 35% ratio during this period of redevelopment.

Halloran agreed to provide this for the October 2 meeting, and 2nd reading of the 2008 Budget. Moffet moved to approve the ordinance with Hitt seconding. The motion passed 5-1, Foley opposed.

Moffet moved to approve the ordinance with Gordon seconding. The motion passed 5-1, with Foley opposed. Mire stated according to Town Charter, Council Members are not to benefit from increased compensation brought about by their own vote. Subsequently, Hitt and Gordon (both with two years remaining on their terms) are not eligible to receive a salary increase during their current terms. Gordon and Hitt both said they supported the vote because they wanted individuals with economic diversity on Town Council. The ordinance increases council compensation from $500 per month to $625 per month and retains the salary for mayor at $1,000 per month, effective January 1, 1998.
