MEMORANDUM
To: Vail Town Council
From: Parking Task Force: Brian McCartney and Chris Jamot - Vail Resorts,
Anne Fitz and Dan Telleen - Retail Representative, Barbara Krichbaum -
Citizen of Large, Farrow Hitt and Kevin Foley - Town Council Members.
Subject: Parking Recommendations ski season 2008-2009
Date: September 16, 2008
BACKGROUND
The Vail Parking Task Force reviewed the parking situation for the 2008-2009 ski
season, as directed by the Vail Town Council. This review looked at both the numbers
of workers in town and the number of spaces available.
Last year from November-January, there were approximately 2,100 construction workers
on projects in bothVail Village and Lionshead. The remaining months there were close
to 1,200 construction workers. The town experienced 45 days of overflow parking from
January through April. This coming season there will be approximately 1,500
construction workers in both villages for the whole season. The town saw record sales of
all parking pass products.
Based on these facts, in addition to any impacts of the Epic Pass, the Task Force
evaluated the ability to reduce demands and/or increase supply. It is always the goal to
reduce demand; however, considering the magnitude of the problem at hand and the
total number of days we experienced on the frontage road last season, an increase in
supply was determined to be necessary. The Task Force set a goal of securing an
additional 400 spaces over last year. The majority of the overflow days occur during the
peak periods.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The task forces recommendations are as follows.
Increase Parking Supply
The parking supply will be increased with the additions
Vail Village Parking Club parking 100 spaces
Use Donovan Park parking on non event days. 70-90 spaces
Arrabelle Club parking run as valet. 100 spaces
There is some loss of parking from last year
North Day lot creation of skier drop off -10 spaces
Still seeking permanent parking from Wendy's-Chamonix on the North
Frontage Road; approval required from CDOT. 30 spaces
Net gain in spaces is approximately 300 spaces
Cost impacts of the following
The cost for the CDOT parking will be $50,000-150,000
The cost of providing transportation from outlying areas will vary depending on the
number of days provided but could be in the $500-$1,000 per day per site.
Service Enhancement
The addition'of 6 designated bus stops along South Frontage road and bus service for
better overflow road management during overflow days.
$50,000 installation
$50,000 operating during peak times
Policy Changes
The other item identified, is to review the current zoning regulations to determine if there
is an easier process to allow private properties with unused parking to offer it to the
public on either a daily or monthly basis if they so desire.
Require future major construction projects to provide a parking mitigation plan for
approval prior to issuance of a building permit.
Diminish Parking Demand
The parking structure averages close to three `people per car. This is a very high
occupancy number. To offer incentives for carpooling it was thought a higher occupancy
vehicle may be a better target. The parking committee has introduced the concept of
vanpooling service through the vanpool company_VSPI into the valley. Informational
meetings were held with the business community, construction community and Town of
Vail employees.
The Task Force encourages the Town, Vail Resorts, along with other major employers
and construction projects and chamber associations to look into the use of vanpools to
transport employees to Vail. Not only is this an environmentally sound solution it will
also reduce the demand for. parking. Vanpooling fills a void with ECO during peak times
when they are at capacity or schedules do not work.
The use of incentives to encourage vanpools not only from Eagle County but other
areas, and private vanpools from the Front Range is a possibility.
Rates and Passes
The Parking Task Force uses the following policies and guidelines when rates are
discussed. "In addition, a. more significant rate increase is recommended to discouragq
single occupant use of vehicles (carpool and vanpooling) and encourage alternative
modes of transportation. The freeing up of spaces through greater availability and
turnover was agoal for both the 1 '/Z hour use and the shopper rates.
One area of concern last year was the shopper rates were much lower than the same
time period within the structure. This caused problems with feeding the meter and
required relentless enforcement to curb this habit. These rates have been aligned to
more accurately reflect rates across the board.
Cost Recovery
The Town of Vail provides a free transit system- As costs go up it is recognized by the
Task Force to recover the costs of new improvements as well as cost increases to the
transit and panting operations.. This year and next the cost of fuel has increased
$350,000 the cost of the transit operation will increase due to not receiving 1-1213 visas by
$150,000 this is in.addition to the normal increased cost in operations. The
enhancements we have proposed will require an additional $175;000.
Communications
Finally it is the goal of the task force to finalize the entire parking program to allow for a
comprehensive communications package and to leverage the message with
communications implemented by TOV, VRI; VCBA, the Vail Partnership, the contracting
community and other partners.
STAFF .RECOMMENDATION

TOWN OF VAIL PUBLIC LIBRARY
2oo7/o8 Higlights & Statistics
The library is a very service-minded amenity funded by the TOV. Increasing the library's
visibility and striving to be more positively connected with the community is one of our
major initiatives and it is an ongoing and evolving process. Outreach to our community,
and beyond, is another key initiative.
Memberships have been significantly streamlined at the Vail Library and we now have
one application for all prospective members, the new library cards with key tags are
available and most patrons may now receive a library card on-the-spot.
We are embracing new technologies and becoming proficient in them so as to enlighten
our patrons. Examples are downloadable audio & video and proprietary databases.
Positive comments - our library is both beautiful and well-stocked, new library cards are
great-most patrons want one, impressed with on-the-spot cards and fact that those
"down valley" can have one. Patrons say they'll spend more time herein future and will
pass the good news along.
26o8 budget _ $839,o62 (61% spent (July 31st) The "operating portion" of our
budget is $338,212 and our "operating" request for 2009 is $34o,650 (less than
1%)
The library generates revenue as a matter of normal day-to-day business as a result of
fines/overdues and payment for lost or damaged materials. ($6;295 in the first 6 months
of 2oo8). We also have increased our "Grant Revenue" this year by $8,270 from the
book sales (annual in July + ongoing), bake sale and miscellaneous donations to the
library, e.g., due to passing of Dean Canada.
Exempt employees fill-in for other staff who are out (vacations, illness, etc.) which is one
way in which we have been able to keep our personnel costs down (53% spent as of July
3ist as opposed to 58% spent according to our Detail Budget Report).
What have we accomplished in 20o7/o8 -
All leather furniture reupholstered or reconditioned; new tables, chairs & carpeting, for
the Community Room.. The exterior of the building is being.re-stained, we have a new
deck off the Community Room, and a new bulletin board outside the front entrance.
Enhanced PC Res./Print Mgmt. offset by Marmot rebate - $3738 vs. $6322; Millenium
Staff computers purchased as a result of Release 2007 of the software.
Computers for children
Website enhancements (one click access to "New books,-dvds, etc.")
Community Room online event calendar enhancements

programming. 104 registered-32 of these attend school in Vail)
New library cards and key tags offered on-the-spot (memberships.have evolved
considerably)
We did not close, for a week in May nor did we reduce our service hours.
All travel books as well as Reference,books are now on "standing order".

"newsletter fallout":
Number of new patrons added since June 1st, 2007 - 2740
Number of new patrons added since May Ist, 20o8 (this summer season) - 1119
- Downloadable audiobooks available (downloadable video coming soon)
Creation of a "Teen" collection
Space planning activities are underway
***As a direct result of all of the above, we have seen a dramatic increase in
our statistics-
Circulation is up 55% from last year
Jan. - Aug..2007 = 29,476 vs. Jan. - Aug. 2008 = 45,639
June `07 = 2905 vs. June '08 = 5557
July `07 = 4648.vs. July'o8 = 7640
Aug. '07 = 4790 vs. Aug. 'o8 = 6959
.
Attendance is up 40%
June'07 = 6,905 vs. June'o8 = 9,709
July'07 = 12,091 vs. July'o8 =15,774
The most popular materials circulated are dvds, followed by adult non-fiction and then
adult fiction.
Specifically, this autumn, we will be offering 25th anniversary
programming in collaboration with AIPP, Vail Symposium, Jazz Foundation,
Ski Museum. 'We are planning additional publicity and the creation of a 25th
anniversary brochure that will chronicle the library's 1st 25 years, speak to the
unique nature of our building (architecturally) and highlight our special
collections (books, quilt; artwork, etc.)
Also this autumn we will be introducing Playaways, and.offering additional
computers due to be installed for internet access (including children's .
computers) which will increase the available seating in our technology area.
We should never forget general Housekeeping activities. which are vital.
Staffing proposal for koog -
I would like to request that we take a current member of our seasonal staff and
roll her current position into a 32 hour/week FT benefited position. Salary and
benefit impact follow: r .
2oo8 - PT Seasonal position at $13.5o/hour + 9.5% benefits = $15,374
2009, - 32 hour- Fr position at $16.oo/hour + 4o% benefits = $37,274
Difference between the two positions = $21,900
This may be easily absorbed by our reductions in many lines of our operating
budget and the misc. revenue generated by the library.
Delinquent patrons
1054 are ptype 229 & they owe $24,208
