Series of 2008, an Ordinance Amending Title 1, Chapter 3,
Section 2 of the Vail Town Code by the Addition of the Definition
of the Word “Publication”; and Setting Forth Details in Regard
Thereto. (10 min.)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
: Discuss the issues raised
in the memorandum and provide direction.
BACKGROUND RATIONALE
: Section 4.10 of the Town Charter
requires publication of ordinances upon their introduction and
adoption. The Charter does not define what is required by
“publication”. In 2007, the Town spent $19,693 for publication of
its ordinances in the Vail Daily, requiring the Town Clerk to
increase the office advertising budget during the third
supplemental appropriation by an additional $12,000. In 2008, the
Town has spent $6,205 to date to meet its legal requirement for
publication of these notices. Nationwide, studies have shown that
73% of households have a computer in their home or have access
to a computer at work or at their local libraries. This percentage
increases in locations such as Vail where citizens have a higher
education rate than the national average. An estimated 70
percent of properties in Vail are owned by part-time residents. By
publishing the Town’s ordinances on its Web site (vailgov.com)
not only will all property owners have direct access to the
ordinances it is also more fiscally and environmentally
responsible.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
: Discuss the issues raised in the
memorandum and provide direction.
