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.
