revenue at 1% above inflation

1. A request for the review of a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 12 -9C -3, Conditional
Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of active outdoor recreation areas, facilities,
and uses (lightning shelter), generally located at the #3 green of the Vail Golf Course /Tract A,
Vail Village Filing 8; and the review of a conditional use permit pursuant to Section 12 -813-3,
Conditional Uses, Vail Town Code, to allow for the construction of accessory buildings and uses
(lightning shelter), generally at the #17 green of the Vail Golf Course /Unplatted; and setting forth
details in regard thereto. (PEC100037)
Applicant: Vail Recreation District, represented by Scott O'Connell
Planner: Bill Gibson
ACTION: Approved with condition(s)
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6 -0 -0
CONDITION(S)
1. This conditional use permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town
of Vail approval for the associated design review application.
Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff memorandum. Gibson elaborated that due to a
noticing error, the lightning shelter at #3 would be re- noticed and heard at the next meeting.
Scott O'Connell, representative of the Vail Recreation District, made a presentation to outline the
reasons for lightening shelters at the Vail Golf Course. According to the master planning
process being conducted by the Vail Recreation District, the District is concerned there are not
enough lightening shelters at the Vail Golf Course.
Commissioner Pierce asked about the architectural design of the building, and asked if the
architecture would be consistent with existing architecture at the golf course.
O'Connell responded that the architecture is a Bavarian theme. The building materials would be
durable, but also tasteful to blend the commercial industrial with the mountain theme that is
carried through the golf course.
Commissioner Kurz asked if certain examples of buildings are also lightening shelters.
O'Connell suggested that the "cook shack" is not a lightening shelter, but includes a system to
Pa e 1
9/21/2Y 10
1 -2 -1
help detect lightning in the area. Kurz followed up to ask if that building would be upgraded.
O'Connell answered no.
Commissioner Rediker asked how shelter locations were determined. O'Connell responded that
a study was done to determine where people are in the afternoon on the golf course, and then
best locations were determined to figure out how to get them to safe shelter. O'Connell added
that there needs to be adequate space and adequate coverage. Existing structures could also
be used for lightening shelters, but this would not meet the Vail standard (example, using a
restroom as a shelter).
Ned Gwathmey, representing #3 adjacent property owners Johnson and McIntyre, understood
that the #3 lightning shelter would be discussed at a future Commission hearing. He commented
that his clients are not opposed to lightning shelters, but are opposed to the proposed location of
the #3 shelter which would be only 20 feet from the Johnson Residence property line. They are
concerned the shelter will be used by hikers and bikers from the recreation paths and believe the
proposed location will be too visible.
Henry Pratt clarified that Ned Gwathmey is his business partner, and that he will recuse himself
when the hole #3 shelter is discussed at the next Commission hearing.
2. A report to the Planning and Environmental Commission on the administrator's approval of an
amendment to an existing conditional use permit, pursuant to 12- 16 -10, Amendment
Procedures, Vail Town Code, to lower the approved building height of a new public building and
grounds (new fire station #3) by reducing the roof pitch from 2%2:12 to 2:12, located at 2399

3. Approval of August 23, 2010 minutes
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Pratt VOTE: 6 -0 -0
4. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on prescribed regulation amendments
to Title 11, Sign Regulations, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section 11 -3 -3, Prescribed
Regulations Amendment, Vail Town Code, to establish regulations for ski yard base area
signage, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100041)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Rachel Friede
ACTION: Tabled to September 27, 2010
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Pratt VOTE: 5 -0 -1 (Carlin recused)
Commissioner Cartin recused himself due to conflict of interest and departed the meeting.
Rachel Friede presented a summary of the proposal and the Staff memorandum.
Jeff Babb, Resort Operations Direct, Vail Resorts Inc., presented a summary of ski operations
signage needs. He expressed their desire to install permanent appearing, but mobile, signs that
are consistent with the architectural style and color themes of the individual ski mountain base
areas. He noted their desire to allow signage for on mountain businesses and activities in the ski
yards.
Commissioner Pratt asked Jeff Babb about electronic signage options.
Pa e 2
9/21 /2� 10
1 -2 -2
Jeff Babb indicated that Vail Resorts is researching video signage. He indicated that these new
technology signs are being used inside the gondola building, but they do not have a current plan
to install these signs outdoors.
Commissioner Pratt asked if some content would be conducive to electronic signs while other
content might be more appropriate for non - electronic signs. He recommends the proposed text
amendments allow flexibility for such new technologies.
Commissioner Pierce recommended that a sign program be required for each ski base instead of
drafting extensive sign regulations. He believes the ski yard bases are of a different nature than
other businesses. He recommended guidelines requiring consistency with the theme of the base
area, exempt sign regulated by state law or other requirements, and to allow signage for on-
mountain activities.
Commissioner Rediker asked what signs Vail Resorts considered to be permanent. He believes
some locations would be appropriate for year -round permanent signs, and other location may
only be appropriate for seasonal signs.
Jeff Babb agreed with Commissioner Rediker's comments and identified several examples of
signs needed for different time durations.
Rachel Friede further clarified what the Town considers to be permanent.
Commissioner Rediker asked if Vail Resorts has a plan identifying the number and type of signs
needed for the various seasons.
Jeff Babb responded that Vail Resorts could provide a season by season sign program. He
wanted the Commissioners to understand that the ski operations division is subject to changing
directives from their marketing division or head office, but they will address these issues with the
Town as soon as they occur.
Rachel Friede summarized the discussion questions from the Staff memorandum.
Commissioner Kurz recommended reviewing signs on a seasonal basis. He noted that the signs
have historically been done in good taste. He recommended not allowing a -frame signs due to
pedestrian conflicts and poor quality materials. He noted that "less is more" in signs
communicating information. He agreed with providing information about on- mountain activities
but it could affect Town tax revenue. He acknowledged the challenge in balancing signage
matching building architecture and signage matching the corporate branding of Vail.
Commissioner Pratt agreed with Commissioner Pierce that a sign program should be reviewed
each summer and winter. He recommended flexibility in the standards, but did not support a-
frame signs. He recommended mountain activities should be advertised, but competing
businesses (such as on- mountain restaurants) should not be given advantage over base area
businesses. He recommended installing fixed electronic signs.
Commissioner Scheidmann agreed with the other commissioners. He noted the need to allow
flexibility. For example, ski school signage needs will fluctuate daily or weekly.
Commissioner Rediker generally agreed with the other commissioners' comments. He noted
that electronic signs may be appropriate in winter, but may not be appropriate in the summer.
Jeff Babb noted that their permanent signage is installed in a "winter first' order of priority.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Stan Zemler, Judy Camp, Kathleen Halloran
DATE: September 15, 2010
SUBJECT: First Draft 2011 General Fund
This first look at the 2011 Town Manager's budget includes the proposed revenue and
expenditures for the General Fund, a summary of changes in personnel, a summary of
employee benefits and funding requests for Council contributions. Staff is requesting feedback
on these items as we move forward in developing the final 2011 budget.
Although the current proposal for the General Fund presents a surplus for 2011, staff
recommends that up to $400,000 be held for a potential one -time merit payout to employees at
3% of annual pay. The payout is contingent upon an increase in sales tax collections of 5%
over budget for January -April since we typically receive 53% of annual revenues in that time
period. The remaining surplus serves as a hedge against several other uncertainties, such as the
potential impact from any parking policy or rate changes, funding for the 2015 Alpine
Championships, funding for Vail's 50 celebration, and the potential passage of Proposition
101.
REVENUE
Council reviewed major revenue items back in July, and those numbers have not changed.
Total General Fund revenue of $29.1 million is 1.0% less than 2010 budget and 5.2% higher
than 2009. The variance to 2009 is due to the additional $1.0 million in sales tax revenue
moved to the Capital Projects Fund during 2009. Without that factor, 2011 revenues would be
at a 1.5% increase over 2009, and a 1.2% increase over 2008.
Sales tax for 2011 of $16.9 million is budgeted flat with 2009 (with 61% or $10.3 million going
to the General Fund). Property tax collections are estimated at $5.1 million and are based on
the most recent report from the County Assessor's office. We have assumed a 2.5% increase in
Ski Lift Tax collections, with revenue projected at $3.2 million for 2011 (currently 2010 is
tracking at a 6% increase from 2009). Parking revenue of nearly $5.0 million was budgeted flat
with 2009 actual collections and does not include any impact from the 2010/2011 parking plan
discussions. Remaining revenue items were budgeted conservatively, based on the most recent
information available.
EXPENDITURES
Total expenditures for the General Fund are proposed at $28.2 million. As a service
organization, the majority of spending relates to staffing. For 2011, this represents $17.9
million or 64% of total expenditures. The town's operations are supported by 286 full time
equivalent (FTE) positions in 2011. Since 2008, 22.3 FTEs have been eliminated from the
budget. These reductions are offset by the addition of other positions as resources have shifted
from a focus on redevelopment to a focus on core services such as fire, dispatch, environmental
1
9/21/2010

sustainability and increased bus service. With these additions, headcount is down overall by
9.25 FTEs from 2008. 2011 headcount changes include the addition of two seasonal Fire
residents and an increase in the number of resident shifts to staff the West Vail Fire station
(annual cost estimated at $86,000 as presented to Council September, 2009 during approval of
the station's construction). Headcount reductions for 2011 include the elimination of 5.5 full -
time positions, and 2 seasonal positions (1 FTE). Please refer to page 6 for summary of FTE
changes, and page 7 for a 10 -year history of the town's FTE count.
Benefits of $4.5 million have decreased slightly from 2009, despite continued increases in
healthcare costs and the impact of recent healthcare legislation. The cost impact of this
legislation to the town is estimated at 3 %. In 2011, the new legislation requires coverage be
made available for dependents up to age 26 (previously a 24 -year old dependent could be
covered if they were still in college). Also for 2011, health plan participants will no longer be
subject to a lifetime maximum payout amount, which may increase the premiums the town
pays to stop -loss insurance providers to cover our health claims over $75,000.
As a percentage of salary, benefit expenditures for 2011 are proposed at 39.98% of full -time
salaries and 9.21 % for seasonal, resulting in a total of 36.11 % overall. Please refer to page 9
for a detailed breakout of employee benefits, with comparisons to prior years.
Health claims are a significant portion of employee benefits costs and have been trending at an
annual increase of 10% per year for the last several years. In working with the town's
employee benefits focus group, staff was able to manage rising costs by sharing a portion of
these costs with employees. $300,000 will be covered by the employees from significant
changes to health plan design, including increases to employee -paid deductibles, co -pays and
out of pocket maximums. Employee monthly premiums will rise at least 25 %. The town is
also reviewing potential cost savings from changing medical networks and plans to use
$150,000 of Health Insurance Fund reserves (these reserves grow from annual contributions by
both employees and the town, with most of the current growth occurring between 2001 and
2008). The reserves are intended to protect the town from excessive claim activity
(unanticipated) in one year, and current reserve levels are more than adequate to provide this
protection.
Departmental spending of $5.9 million (also labeled as "All Other Operating" in the General
Fund statement) is $1.2 million less than 2008 spending (significant budget cuts began in
2009). This represents a 17% reduction in spending from 2008 levels despite an increase in
services and the addition of new facilities. These services and additions explain why 2011
proposed spending is more than 2009. They include new operational expenditures such as
increased snowmelt from streetscape near Solaris and the new transit area, and utilities for new
facilities including the West Vail Fire Station and Transit Center. 2011 expenditures were also
increased from costs that are outside of the town's control such as continued support of special
events, insurance premiums, bank charges, and treasurer fees from the County's collection of
property tax. We have re- budgeted for Community Development planning projects (not an
annual expenditure) such as the master planning of West Vail and the Chamonix area, a green
building code and other zoning amendments. Other items such as cinders are budgeted at an
average snowfall, which for 2011 is at a higher dollar amount than 2009 when the snowfall
started much later.

Council contributions (pages 10 -17) are currently funded at staff - recommended levels. Of the
$2.1 million in requests, $1.7 million is recommended by staff (a 3.7% increase from 2010).
Changes from last year's contributions include funding for the Colorado Ski Museum ($42,000
cash / $9,000 rent forgiveness), Vail's 50 DVD ($10,000) and an allocation of CSE funding
($75,000) to go toward the UCI 2.1 Pro - Cycling event. Both the Ski Museum and Vail's 50
DVD received funds in 2010 from off -cycle requests. All other contribution requests were
funded at similar levels as 2010.
Staff asks that Council provide feedback on this preliminary look at our 2011 General Fund
budget. We will return on October 5th with the full budget, which will include a 5 -year
General Fund outlook and the other town funds such as Capital and RETT.

2011 Contributions
Please see the attached spreadsheet to coincide with the following background and
recommendations.
ECONOMIC
A. Bravo! Colorado
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival is requesting a total of
$157,500 to help fund the 2011 Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic — Vail
Residency programs. Bravo! is requesting $75,000 for each program, and $7,500 for the Music
Matters Education and Outreach Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding at $157,500 (flat since the 10% reduction
in 2009). Historically, the Town of Vail has contributed funding to the New York Philharmonic and
the Philadelphia Orchestra Tier 1 programs. The cultural benefit to the Town of Vail and the tourist
attraction of this event are major factors in staff's recommendation for funding.
B. Bravo! Family Concert (National Repertory Orchestra)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Orchestra is requesting $1,000 to offset travel expenses
associated with their annual concert in Vail. Each season, they perform a free family concert at the
Ford Amphitheatre in conjunction with Bravo!.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding at $1,000 based on the cultural benefit to
the town and the potential increase in drive traffic from the Summit area.
C. Vail Farmer's Market
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vail Farmer's Market is requesting $4,500 of in -kind value to
cover the cost of services provided by the Town of Vail during the events, and $6,500 cash to cover
the cost of traffic control. The Commission on Special Events (CSE) funded $48,000 toward the
Farmer's Market in 2010.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the in -kind request of $4,500 which will
be included in the town's 2011 operating budget. Staff recommends consolidating the cash request
with the funding provided by the CSE, as was done for 2010.
D. Vail Jazz Foundation
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Jazz Foundation is requesting $60,000 to help fund the
Jazz at Vail Square concert series (ten concerts) from June through September 1st, the Vail Jazz
Party during Labor Day weekend (7 sessions), and ten free summer concerts at the Vail Farmers'
Market. Out of a total of 27 performances in Vail, the Foundation would propose that 20 of those be
free to the public.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding a total of $30,000 ($30,600 funded in
2009 and 2010) to support the 10 Vail Square free concerts and the Labor Day weekend Vail Jazz
9/21/20 1 1
3 -I -13
Party. Staff does not agree with an additional contribution for the Farmer's Market concerts, as
those performances should be included in the costs for the Market funded through the Commission
on Special Events.
E. Colorado Ski Museum
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The museum is requesting in -kind of $9,000 (free rent) and cash
of $51,000. The contribution will be used to help fund two new exhibits: The Colorado Ski &
Snowboard Hall of Fame and The History of Colorado Snowboarding, and to fund a part -time
Education Assistant position to help implement education programs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the in -kind request for free rent ($9,000)
and a cash contribution of $42,000 (for a total contribution of $51,000) to help fund the two new
exhibits. The town requests that the Town of Vail logo be prominent on the exhibits. The Ski
Museum is considered a valuable town asset, similar to the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, and staff
would recommend annual support at the same dollar level in future years. The museum will have a
critical role in future Vail events such as the 2015 World Championships and Vail's 50 anniversary.
F. Vail Valley Foundation (VVF)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Foundation is requesting $137,500 of cash funding and
$26,300 of in -kind for entertainment programs and winter events. (Street Beat; Vail International
Dance Festival and Hot Summer Nights, Birds of Prey, and the American Ski Classic). In addition,
the VVF has presented a proposed cycling event for 2011 and is requesting a cash contribution of
$175,000 and in -kind of $15,000 contingent upon the event coming to fruition.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the in -kind requests for the special
events, although limits the Birds of Prey in -kind to $10,000 ($13,000 requested), and those costs
will be built into the town's 2011 operating budget. Staff also recommends the same amount of
cash funding as given in 2009 & 2010: $25,650 toward Street Beat; $45,000 to the Vail
International Dance Festival; and $24,525 toward Hot Summer Nights, and $5,000 for the
American Ski Classic for a total of $100,175. Staff supports the UCI 2.1 Pro - Cycling event, and
recommends funding $100,000 from Vail Local Marketing District reserves, and $75,000 as an
allocation from the Commission on Special Events.
G. Vail Chamber & Business Association (VCBA)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The VCBA is requesting $10,000 to be used for the Premier
Impressions Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the $10,000 contingent upon
commitment from Vail Resorts, and that the Premier Impressions program is fully funded as
budgeted (attached budget under item "G ") and implemented.
H. Commission on Special Events (CSE)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The CSE is requesting funding for various events, totaling
$836,810 and an additional $50,000 to perform independent intercept surveys to assess the return
on investment of various events to the town.
9/21/20 12
3 -1 -14
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the $836,810 with $75,000 allocated to
the UCI 2.1 Pro - Cycling event and $45,000 allocated for the Teva Mountain Games World Climbing
Cup (same as prior years).
Staff supports the intercept study, but recommends funding through the Vail Local Marketing District
to study events receiving over $20,000 of CSE dollars. An additional $52,929 of staffing & related
expense is currently included in the town's 2011 operating budget. The entire CSE budget is part of
the Economic Development Department of the town.
EDUCATIONAL
I. Hoffman Outreach ( "Vail Gay Ski Week" and "Singles Ski Week ")
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Hoffman Outreach has requested $75,000 of funding for
marketing, advertising and event production goods for two events "Vail Gay Ski Week" and "Singles
Ski Week ". Hoffman Outreach puts on events on behalf of other non - profit organizations to assist
them with marketing, increasing memberships and to meet their fundraising goals.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: While increased group business is desirable, staff does not
recommend funding from Council contributions for marketing and advertising. The Vail Local
Marketing District pursues group business using lodging tax collections. Also, we recommend that
Hoffman Outreach apply for funding from the Commission on Special Events for individual events (if
applicable) that are planned during those two weeks.
J. Vail Entertainment District (VED)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: VED is requesting $40,000 (16% of total estimated project costs)
for consulting services during the launch of an entertainment district in Vail. Ultimately, VED would
like to place media platforms throughout Vail and enhance the guest experience with tourist
information and promotions.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is supportive of the study of this concept, but believes it is too
early in the process to commit funding. If this group is successful passing the concept through the
planning department, staff would ask that Council consider funding.
K. Eagle County Loan Fund (ECLF) / Home Buyer Assistance
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The ECLF is requesting $5,000 in funding to be used for down
payment assistance loans. These loans are available for employees within Eagle County to
purchase deed restricted units.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The ECLF received $5,000 from the Vail Local Housing Authority in
2009 and $15,000 in 2010. Staff recommends that the ECLF continue working with the Vail Local
Housing Authority as a more appropriate resource for those funds.
9/21/20 13
3 -I -15
L. Eagle Valley Childcare (EVC)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The EVC has requested $50,000 of funding for 2011 to subsidize
Town of Vail childcare.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Because the town is a founding partner, staff recommends funding
the same amount as 2009 and 2010 ($45,000) to be used for the Vail Childcare facility. This is the
only childcare facility in Vail that provides infant care.
M. Summit Films: Vail 50 DVD "In the Spirit of the Founders"
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Summit Films is requesting a total of $30,000 from July, 2010
through 2012 ($5,000 has already been awarded as an off -cycle contribution in 2010). These funds
would be used for the production of a two hour DVD set documenting the first fifty years of Vail. To
date approximately $195,000 has been committed to this project from other donors, including a
$150,000 commitment from Vail Resorts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding $10,000 for 2011, for a total of $25,000
over the three -year period. Because the town cannot commit funds beyond the current fiscal year,
staff requests that Summit Films apply for annual funding for the upcoming years (2012 requests will
be considered in 2011). This endeavor is the first of several celebrations that the town intends to
participate in for Vail's 50 anniversary and we look forward to the results of this project.
RECREATIONAL
N. Ski & Snowboard Club of Vail
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Ski & Snowboard Club of Vail has requested in -kind funding
of $5,285 for 4 days of ice for their annual Ski & Snowboard Swap event to be held Oct 27 — 30,
2011.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding this in -kind request for two days (out of
four requested) with appropriate approval and coordination with the Vail Recreation District. The Ski
& Snowboard Club will be responsible for hard costs for use of the Dobson Arena such as set -up,
tear -down, cleaning, and utilities. Two days are recommended at this time because the town is
currently recruiting participatory sporting events and may need to use some of our allocated free
days to offset costs for those groups. However, if there are enough available days remaining prior
to this event, staff recommends providing the full amount of days.
O. Vail Valley Medical Center Volunteer Corps (VVMC)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The VVMC is requesting in -kind funding for 300 parking vouchers
for the Spring Fashion Show & Luncheon event on Wednesday, March 23, 2011.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding this in -kind request as in prioryears. It is
included in the town's 2011 operating budget.
9/21/20 14
3 -I -16
P. Vail Junior Hockey Association
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Junior Hockey Assn. is requesting $15,391 in -kind
funding including $11,891 for 9 days of ice (3 weekends during November, 2011) and $3,500 for use
of the Donovan Pavilion in the spring of 2011 for an End of Hockey Season gathering for volunteers,
sponsors, parents, and players. In addition, they are requesting free or reduced parking in the
LionsHead Parking Structure for the 3r weekend of the tournament (scheduled for November 18 —
20) at an estimated cost of $8,625.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends providing 5 days of ice time (out of 9 requested),
subject to approval and coordination with the Vail Recreation District for the ice time. Staff
recommends waiving the fee for Donovan Pavilion, contingent upon approval and coordination with
the Donovan Management Company regarding availability. However, the Hockey Assn. will be
responsible for hard costs for use of the Dobson Arena and Donovan Pavilion such as set -up, tear -
down, cleaning, and utilities. The reduced days relate to the town's need for ice time as mentioned
in item "N ". However, if there are enough available days remaining prior to this event, staff
recommends providing the full amount of days. The parking request is estimated at a cost of
$8,625. Staff does not recommend funding this request as the budget cannot support an increase
from the prior year's contribution.
Q. Skating Club of Vail
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Skating Club of Vail has requested in -kind funding of
$11,891 for 9 days of ice for two separate competitions (30` Annual Vail Invitational Championships
and the 8th Annual Vail Mountain Fun Skating Competition) July 13 -17, 2011 and the Holiday Ice
Shows in late December, 2011).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends providing 5 days of ice time (out of 9 requested)
subject to approval and coordination with the Vail Recreation District. The Skating Club will be
responsible for hard costs for use of the Dobson Arena such as set -up, tear -down, cleaning, and
utilities. The reduced days relate to the town's need for ice time as mentioned in item "N ". However,
if there are enough available days remaining prior to this event, staff recommends providing the full
amount of days.
R. Special Olympics
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Special Olympics is requesting in -kind funding of $1,050 for
a total of 42 parking vouchers for volunteers who train the athletes on 11 Sundays spanning January
through March.

parking structure only, with one -time entry /exit coupons (total of 42).
S. Vail Valley Athlete Commission (see backup for item F)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Athlete Commission is requesting a $8,500 cash contribution
to support local athletes. The athletes are also funded by the Vail Valley Foundation ($10,000 for
2011) and Vail Resorts ($10,000 for 2011).
9/21/20
3 -I -17
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding this request at $6,000 (flat with 2009 and
2010) in support of our athletes and for the international exposure for the Town of Vail.
T. Foresight Ski Guides
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Foresight Ski Guides is requesting two parking passes for the
Vail Village parking structure for January — April 2011 and November /December 2011. Foresight
provides parking to volunteer guides, half of which drive from Denver. Local guides usually take
public transportation and /or carpool. Foresight provides challenge recreation opportunities to
visually impaired participants and guides, including the Colorado School for the Blind and soldiers
blinded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends providing two blue passes, restricted to the
LionsHead parking structure, as was approved in 2010.
U. U.S. Rafting Association (USRA)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The USRA is requesting cash funding of $15,000 to support the
Vail -based U.S. Raft Teams as they travel to national and international competitions during the 2011
season. Funding will also be used to defray general operating costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that this team approach the Vail Valley Athlete
Commission as this type of requests fits directly with the mission of that organization.
ARRANGEMENTS & AGREEMENTS
V. Vail Valley Community TV / Channel 5
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Channel 5 is requesting a portion of the franchise fee the Town of
Vail receives annually from Comcast. In 2010 this amount was budgeted at $70,000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding the franchise fee at 30 %, approximately
$70,000 based on 2011 budgeted franchise fee revenue. This recommendation is pending the
outcome of the Comcast franchise agreement with the town.

REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX FUND
W. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Alpine Garden Foundation is requesting funding of $75,000
for general operating, education programs and conservation expenses. They are also requesting for
the first time two parking passes in the Vail structure along with the two designated summer parking
spaces at Ford Park. The Garden hosts thousands of visitors per year and has achieved World -
premier status as a high altitude garden.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding operating expenses at $55,620, flat with
2009 and 2010 funding. 2009 had been reduced by 10% from 2008. Staff is concerned with the
sustainability of this organization upon review of their financial condition. A town staff member
currently sits on the board with a non - voting seat. Staff requests that the Alpine Gardens grant the
town a voting seat on the board. The Gardens will be provided Ford Park spaces for summer as in
prior years, but the budget cannot support the new request for two blue passes.
X. Eagle River Watershed
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Eagle River Watershed is requesting $90,000 of funding. Of
this request, $57,000 relates to the maintenance and monitoring of the Black Gore Creek, $18,000
for general operating support, $6,500 of public outreach /information, $6,500 for collaborative action
monitoring with other local municipalities and $2,000 for Clean Up events.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding of $87,300 (a 3% reduction). Staff also
recommends that not more than 20% go toward general operations, with the remainder for specific
projects as they are completed. In 2009, $90,000 was funded in total but only $38,000 spent
($18,000 for general operations and $20,000 on programs). Another $90,000 was authorized in
2010, and year -to -date spending totals $42,000 ($18,000 for general operations, $7,000 on
programs and $17,000 on flood damage assessment of stream banks and water quality).

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
TO: Town Council
FROM: Kent Logan and Town Staff
DATE: September 21, 2010
SUBJECT: Update on Conference Center Funds Reallocation
BACKGROUND: Kent Logan presented concepts for the highest and best use of
the $9.3 million conference center funds at the September 7, 2010 Council
meeting. These concepts came out of a process directed by Council to interview
a cross section of stakeholders with the goal of utilizing the funds to increase
overall economic vitality in the Town of Vail with the funds earmarked for capital
assets, either new or existing facilities, providing a long -term benefit to the Town
of Vail.
THEMES:
The stakeholders indicated that Vail has a lot going for it, but every world -class
resort must continue to reinvent itself. No big idea came forth for a new,
dedicated purpose building that could make a significant impact. Rather, Vail
should build on its strengths and take advantage of the opportunities and
physical assets that seem to serve the most constituents and meet the original
goal of increasing the overall economic vitality in the Town of Vail within the
parameters of the $9.3 million. Seek to leverage the $9.3 million by working on
joint projects with partners who bring additional capital investment and /or
organizational /management capability to the table. Any stimulus to economic
activity will result from a series of well thought out incremental steps that over
time will have a positive impact.

RECOMMENDATION
The physical assets identified as having the most potential to achieve the goals
of upgrading existing facilities, completing the Renaissance and putting the
"finishing touches" on the town were:
• Remodel Golf Clubhouse with the addition of an events pavilion
• Remodel and expansion of Vail Village Welcome Center to include
community space
• Town wide signage /information /guest enhancement system
• Expansion and renovation of Dobson arena to allow for more expanded
uses
• Ford Park expansion of fields to create an additional field and extend the
season
WHY NOW?
Kent Logan put forth four reasons to begin now:
• $9.3 million is an economic stimulus in and of itself creating construction
and development jobs and revenue as a result
• Construction costs are down
• There is a window of opportunity with Vail's 50 anniversary in 2012 and
the World Championships in 2015
• It is time to rally the town and get on offense by spending productively to
create economic stimulus
COUNCIL DIRECTION
Council directed the item be put on the September 21 work session agenda to
further discuss the recommended facilities /assets and next steps.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the following process for next steps:
October - November - working with our prospective partners:
1. Define clear purpose and programming for each of the five projects
2. Prepare any necessary feasibility studies to ensure viability of the projects
3. Prepare facilities project costs (hard and soft) and operating costs for each
proposed asset enhancement.
Some of the work product deliverables requires outside resources. The
various projects are in different stages of development and study today.
Staff will return October 5 with a discussion on the town wide
signage /information /guest enhancement system project.
Late December - February
4. Seek stakeholder and community input on proposed asset enhancements
5. Refine the projects as needed based on input and additional information
received.
6. Prepare any economic analysis as needed
7. Finalize projects and ballot question
March or April, 2011
8. Hold a special election
