(s)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Council approval of Plan A or Plan B.
BACKGROUND: At their meeting last Wednesday, the CSE prepared two
budgets for 2011 Special Event funding, as requested by the Town Council. Plan A
reflects the allocations with the $75,000 funding for the Quizno's Pro Challenge
included in the CSE's budget. Plan B reflects the CSE's decisions where the
$75,000 Quizno's funding is not included in their budget, but comes from another
Town of Vail fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Council approval of Plan A or Plan B.
6. ITEM /TOPIC: Council asked staff to provide information on how the TOV's
benefits compare to other agencies. Similar to our compensation analysis,
we use other Colorado mountain communities when evaluating the
competitiveness of our benefits. Our benefits philosophy matches our
compensation philosophy of being competitive in our chosen
market. Attached is a chart showing the two major and most costly benefits
(healthcare and retirement) for the TOV as compared to our comparison
group. Additionally, council requested a review of benefits as a percentage
of salary. Since each agency has it's own way of tracking and comparing
benefits, there is no standard for what is included. Making sure that an
apples -to- apples comparison is done can be extremely time consuming, so
we have requested information from Eagle County and Avon. The TOV has
an overall benefits rate of 36 %, which is favorable to both the comparison
11/16/2010
agencies. Avon's overall percentage is 36.8% for 2009, and Eagle County
has an overall figure of 44.8% (not including unemployment). (30 min.)

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Reinvestment Authority Commissioners
FROM: Judy Camp
Kathleen Halloran
DATE: November 11, 2010
RE: Vail Reinvestment Authority Budget Message
The Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA) was created on November 4, 2003, following
approval of a resolution by the Vail Town Council to create an urban renewal authority.
On December 16, 2003, the Commissioners adopted by -laws and entered into a
cooperative agreement between the Town of Vail and the VRA for administrative
services.
On June 7, 2005, tax increment financing (TIF) was authorized for the LionsHead TIF
district via an amendment to the LionsHead Public Facilities Plan. Because of
demolition activity within the TIF district in 2005, no property tax revenue was collected
by VRA in 2006. Incremental property tax revenue has been collected since 2007 as a
result of redevelopment activity within the TIF district.
The Arrabelle project established the Vail Square Metropolitan Districts, which collect
either 40 or 25 mils based on district lines. The Vail Reinvestment Authority receives
these taxes from the County, and then remits them to the Vail Square Metro Districts.
For 2011, property tax revenue is budgeted at $3,612,000 for the LionsHead TIF.
Further completion of the following redevelopment projects contributed new incremental
revenue for 2011: Ritz Carlton Residences; Landmark Condominiums, and Lions
Square Lodge North. Vail Square Metro property tax revenues are projected at
$476,647 which is passed through to the district, net of a 3% fee paid to the County
Treasurer. Revenue projections are based upon the latest information provided by
Eagle County.
On November 4, 2010, the VRA issued its Series 2010A and Series 2010B bonds in the
aggregate principal amount of $11,940,000. The 2010B taxable bonds were issued
separately to take advantage of Build America Bonds (BABs) which reduce the overall
interest cost due to a subsidy paid by the federal government. Using the BABs will save
the VRA approximately $700,000 of interest. Net interest cost to the VRA for these
bonds is 4.2 %, with the Series 2010A bonds having a final maturity of 2018 and Series
2010B bonds having a final maturity of 2030.
The bonds were issued to finance $12.0 million in capital projects:
LionsHead Welcome Center $7.8M
Surface parking at the Charter Bus Lot (LionsHead parking structure) $900,000
Library Remodel (Phase I — main level) $475,000
East LionsHead Portal $2,075,000
West LionsHead Portal $750,000

The 2011 proposed budget of $10.1 million includes first year debt service payments
totaling $676,676 and a transfer of $8.5 million to the town's Capital Projects Fund,
where the projects will be managed. The VRA is also reimbursing the town for the
annual capital maintenance of the LionsHead parking structure ($315,000 for 2011).
The 2011 Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA) budget is prepared on a modified accrual
basis.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Vail Local Marketing District
FROM: Kathleen Halloran and Kelli McDonald
SUBJECT: Vail Local Marketing District 2011 Budget
DATE: November 16, 2010
1. BACKGROUND
The mission of the Vail Local Marketing District (VLMD) is to market and promote Vail to
attract overnight guests primarily during the May — October time frame, creating
economic vitality by increasing both the visitor base and lodging sales tax revenues.
Results to date (May 1 — August 31, 2010) show an increase in event attendance,
lodging occupancy and sales tax collected over the summer of 2009 and compared to
other mountain resorts measured.
On September 21, 2010 Council approved the 2011 VLMD Operating Plan and on
November 2, 2010 Council approved the 2011 VLMD budget. There have been no
changes since that time. The marketing objectives outlined in the plan were:
• Drive incremental overnight spring, summer and fall bookings
• Increase sales tax revenue at 1% above inflation
• Continue to build long -term brand awareness that drives short -term sales
• Increase market share by widening audience reach with Destination and
International guests while maintaining loyal guest base
• Continue to position Vail as a world - class, year -round destination brand
2. BUDGET DETAIL
Revenue from lodging tax collections are estimated at $1,745,000 for 2011, flat with the
2010 budget and a 2.3% increase from 2009. The assumptions used for this projection
are consistent with the town's expected sales tax revenue for 2011. Regarding
expenditures for 2011, the attached budget proposal includes $1,999,750 for 2011
programs, with $100,000 allocated for the Quiznos Pro Challenge Bike Race as directed
by Council. Although the ending fund balance currently present for 2011 of $325,404 is
19% of annual revenues, staff is forecasting higher- than - budget lodging tax collections
for 2010 which would increase that fund balance to approximately 25% (Council's
directive is a minimum fund balance of 25 %).
As outlined in the operating plan which was approved by Council on September 21, the
following shifts were made from the 2010 budget to the 2011 budget to address
changing consumer travel behavior and economic realities:
1
11/16/2010
3 -I -1
• Destination budget doubled to $445,650 for a greater online presence,
including search engine marketing and optimization, display advertising,
mobile marketing (new) and to incorporate international guest focus in an
attempt to grow overnight visitation by destination guests
• Professional fees reduced 15% for a total savings of $58,000
• Front Range budget stayed in tact to maintain presence and share of market.
Efforts will focus both on brand building as well as tactical offers built around
lodging and events to drive overnight stays
• Group and Meeting budget stayed in tact but shifted focus to direct sales in
Colorado and additional focus on participatory sports
• PR budget stayed in tact to continue to maintain presence regionally,
nationally and internationally
• Photo /video budget increased $40,000 to continue to build assets of new
events and developments coming on line as well as ambassador videos
• Research budget increased $20,000 to include an intercept study of CSE
events as directed by Council
• Web site budget decreased 33% to reflect updates only since the new site
was built in 2010 for a total savings of $25,000
• Branding budget decreased more than 50% since VLMD now has the brand
platform and assets and will only require revisions in 2011 for a total savings
of $50,000
• Council directed $100,000 to be allocated toward the Quiznos Pro Challenge
Bike Race
The budgetary shifts reflect the goal of shifting dollars from building the brand in 2010 to
attracting more overnight guests to Vail through additional outreach and sales in 2011.
3. ACTION REQUESTED OF VAIL LOCAL MARKETING DISTRICT
Staff recommends that the Vail Local Marketing District approve Resolution No. 26,
Series 2010 approving the submitted budget and appropriating $1,999,750 for marketing
related expenditures beginning on the first day of January, 2011 and ending on the 31s

Methodology
• The data collection used for this study was based solely on "intercept surveys" using
hand -held PDA devices. Intercept surveys are randomly conducted so that all types of
visitors are equally represented in the results
• 1267 random intercept surveys were taking during the months of June, July, and August
2010 around the Vail Village and Lions head areas
• Of the surveys taken 25% were completed in June, 30% were completed in July, and 45%
were completed in August and during the Labor Day holiday weekend
• In 2005 and 2007 the Vail Resorts Marketing Insight department conducted similar studies.
This report compares the results of those studies to the data collected in 2010
Executive Summary
• In state visitors increased versus 2007; but Int'I visitors on radar

1. This conditional use permit approval is contingent upon the applicant obtaining Town
of Vail approval of the associated design review new construction application.
2. The applicant shall provide for the replacement of the parking spaces to be eliminated
as a result of this application either in a project to occur on the charter bus lot or through
another Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and Code compliant means prior to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the project.
3. Prior to the start of construction, the applicant must obtain a Town of Vail Public Way
permit and comply with the Public Works General Conditions for construction.
Warren Campbell made a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Lou Bieker, 4240 Architects, representing the applicant presented the application and
summarized the changes made in response to the Commission's previous work session hearing.
Tom Kassmel, Town of Vail Public Works Department, described the anticipated construction
schedule.
Commissioner Kurz had concerns about the architectural style, but believed the building bulk
and mass has the landmark quality needed for this location and the project improves public
safety.
Commissioner Rediker agreed with Kurz's comments that the bulk and mass meets the criteria
of the Master Plan. He asked if the roll down gates would be seen from the exterior.
Tom Kassmel clarified that the roll down gates would only be for interior spaces of the building.

Commissioner Cartin recommended preserving existing trees on the eastern side of the structure
and adding more where possible. These trees will help to soften the eastern facade.
Tom Kassmel agreed with Cartin's comments and noted that Public Works intends to transplant
the existing trees and planting new trees.
Commissioner Cartin asked about snow shed from the building roof.
Lou Bieker described the snow management systems for the roof, which included double rows of
snow guard fencing and heated panels between the gutters on the facia and the first row of snow
guard fencing.
Commissioner Cartin noted that while it was not in the Commission's purview, that an
information booth on the South Frontage Road is important for lost guests and traffic flow. He
further commented that any pan to provide expanded surface parking on the charter bus lot
needs to include a plan for the parking of large vehicles, RVs, and buses.
Commissioner Viele agreed that the bulk and mass was appropriate and complied with the
Master Plan, but agreed with his fellow Commissioners that more work is needed with the
materials and architectural details at the Design Review Board level of review.
Commissioner Pierce agreed that more discussion about the architectural style was needed with
the Design Review Board. He noted concern that the architectural may be popular today, but it
may not be a timeless architectural style. He felt the proposed structure complied with the
elements of the conditional use permit and the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan.

2. A request for the review of a final plat, pursuant to Chapter 13 -4, Minor Subdivisions, Vail Town
Code, to allow for the re- subdivision of a part of Lots A, B, and C, into a single lot, located at 1

and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC100048)
Applicant: Vail Development 09, LLC, represented by Lori Rung
Planner: Warren Campbell
ACTION: Approved
MOTION: Viele SECOND: Kurz VOTE: 5 -0 -0
Warren Campbell made a presentation per the staff memorandum. It was explained that this
request was to create a single lot out of four individual parts of Lots A, B, and C, and the
establishment of the air rights and envelopes to allow for subsequent condominium plats to be
created and recorded which was the final entitlement step for the Four Seasons project.
TJ Brink and Michael Clowdus, represented the applicant, stated that they were available for
questions.
Commissioner Pierce inquired as to the review of the plat by staff.
Warren Campbell stated that staff's role was to review the plat as to form, including the title,
notes, certificates, and easements. Staff did not perform a check of all polygons to insure they
closed as the surveyors and their teams perform that review. Furthermore, the applicant's legal
council performs highly detailed reviews.
The Commission expressed their belief that the proposed plat complied with the subdivision
requirements.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: November 16, 2010
ITEM /TOPIC: Council asked staff to provide information on how the TOV's benefits compare
to other agencies. Similar to our compensation analysis, we use other Colorado mountain
communities when evaluating the competitiveness of our benefits. Our benefits philosophy
matches our compensation philosophy of being competitive in our chosen market. Attached is
a chart showing the two major and most costly benefits (healthcare and retirement) for the
TOV as compared to our comparison group. Additionally, council requested a review of
benefits as a percentage of salary. Since each agency has it's own way of tracking and
comparing benefits, there is no standard for what is included. Making sure that an apples -to-
apples comparison is done can be extremely time consuming, so we have requested
information from Eagle County and Avon. The TOV has an overall benefits rate of 36 %, which
is favorable to both the comparison agencies. Avon's overall percentage is 36.8% for 2009,
and Eagle County has an overall figure of 44.8% (not including unemployment).

Re: 2010 Wildland Fire and Fuels Mitigation Crew Summary
The Vail Fire and Emergency Services Wildland Fire and Fuels Mitigation Crew completed its 4 th year of
mitigation work on October 28 As in the past, the role of the mitigation crew is to create and improve
defensible space in and around the Town of Vail. In addition, they play an essential role in first response
to local and regional Wildland Fires.
The 6 person crew worked 7 days a week providing fuels mitigation, hazard tree removal on town
owned land, Wildland property assessments, free chipping of trees for TOV property owners, hazard
tree assessments, and Wildland Fire protection and Suppression Services.
In addition the crew supported public education, Teva Games, sand bagging during the spring flooding
incident, tree removal from severe weather events, the 4 th of July fireworks safety plan, and Interagency
projects.
Tree cutting /mitigation work was completed in the following areas:
• East Vail Twin Bridges Project/ With USFS
• Snowshoe Lane Water Tank
• Bighorn Power Lines /Holy Cross Electric
• Vail Memorial Gardens
• East Vail Bike Path
• Vail Golf Course
• Vail Nature Center
• Gore Creek Stream Bed
• The Valley /Buffer Creek
• Tahoe Water Tank

• Intermountain Power Lines /Holy Cross
• North Trail at Davos and Red Sandstone
• Eagles Nest Communication Site /Vail P D

• Hidden Jems Wilderness Project
2010 Summary:
VFES Wildland Crews cut over 1175 trees this year, totaling nearly 100,000 board feet of timber on over
150 acres of land. Including chipping operations for approximately 350 trees for TOV property owners
and another 150 trees on TOV owned land. Over 800 slash piles were burned this spring, and another
155 piles were assembled for burning this fall. 15 home property assessments were conducted and
crews responded to six (6) Wildland Fires.
Future projects (2011) include:
• Spraddle Creek, Gore Creek
• Walking path from Ford Park to Matterhorn
• Matterhorn Hill side
• Gore Creek Trail at Golden Peak, Middle Creek, and the Dowd Junction Repeater site.
Due to losing two crew members to injuries early in the season, not all the hazard assessments were
completed, and we will continue assessments as time allows throughout the fall /winter. However,
despite a smaller crew, it was a productive, successful year and the number of hazards mitigated
increased from 2009. With a "leaner /meaner" budget in 2011, we look forward to another productive
year in Wildland hazard mitigation for the TOV.
Thank You for the privilege /opportunity to serve the community in this on -going effort.
