1.
ITEM/TOPIC: DRB/PEC update (15 min.)
PRESENTER(S): Warren Campbell
2.
ITEM/TOPIC: Fire Station 2 Renovation Discussion (30 min. )
PRESENTER(S): Mark Miller/Greg Hall/Bill Pierce from Pierce Architects
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff is requesting that Council review and
consider the information presented regarding the renovation of Main Vail Fire
Station 2, including design and programming. Information includes advantages of
moving the renovation to late 2012 in lieu of 2013 due to a variety of
operation/functional/financial issues.
BACKGROUND: The renovation of Fire Station No. 2 has been discussed and/or
deferred for many years. Station 2 is significantly beyond its useful life in regards
to basic infrastructure/systems, and in need of substantial repairs and
maintenance. There is $1.75 million in the 2013 budget as part of the five year
capital plan for renovation of Fire Station 2. Due to several significant projects
including: municipal building construction, golf course clubhouse renovation, library
renovation, etc., it has become apparent that moving the station renovation to
2012 would be prudent and advantageous for the town (see memo). As a matter
of due diligence, much research has been completed to date, including: conceptual
design/engineering, construction estimates, building structural evaluation, PEC
and DRB conceptual review, etc. to verify feasibility of the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Town staff is recommending that Council approve
moving forward with final design and engineering and eliciting bids for construction
to begin in early September, pending final approval by Council. Additionally staff is
recommending to Council:
*Approval of $100,000 to complete the design and solicit bids, with anticipated
award in August, advancing the project ahead by four months;
*Review the project plans and provide approval to seek final DRB approval (June
6th); *Provide input with regard to using the old Resident Firefighter space on the
second floor as employee housing units (or temporary office space if needed).

Bill Gibson made a presentation per the Staff memorandum. He clarified that the applicant does
not need a landscape variance for the parking lot.
Todd Oppenheimer made a presentation to provide an overview of the project, an update on
discussions with CDOT concerning a relocated helipad, and an update on the changes made
since the last hearing.
Tom Braun, the applicant’s representative, described in detail the changes made to Betty Ford
Way, the west restroom building, and the amphitheater.
Commissioner Pierce asked about the impacts of the helipad on I-70.
Todd Oppenheimer stated the frontage road would have stopped traffic for a few moments, but
interstate traffic would not be impacted.
Tom Braun discussed the delivery truck access goals.
Kurt Freisen described in detail the alignment of Betty Ford Way, the proposed guardrail design,
retaining wall designs and reasoning for the
Pedro Campos discussed the overall architectural approach to the buildings, including the
restroom, concession and storage buildings. He detailed live roofs, the amphitheater garden
overlook, amphitheater main entry and amphitheater lawn seating.
Tom Braun summarized the development review process and review criteria.
Commissioner Kurz did not have questions, but is not sure about the plants on the roof.
Commissioner Rediker asked who owns the amphitheater and how the money was allocated.
Bill Gibson clarified that the Town of Vail owns the land and the Vail Valley Foundation, Vail
Recreation District and Betty Ford Alpine Gardens were lease holders at Ford Park. He noted
that the Town Council make financial decisions about the park on behalf of the Town. Pedro
Campos further clarified that the amphitheater buildings are owned by the Vail Valley
Foundation.
Commissioner Rediker asked about drainage and storm water run-off along East Betty Ford
Way.
Kurt Freisen responded with details about the drainage plan.
Commissioner Rediker asked about grease from trucks dropping down Betty Ford Way and
further into the creek.
Tom Braun noted that mechanical filters will be installed to prevent pollution from the parking lot
run-off.
Commission Bird asked how they will keep people off of the roof of the storage/restroom building
which has a lowest roof point of 4’-6”. Pedro Campos stated the area will be heavily landscaped
with thorny plants and will have a swale to prevent people from accessing the roof.
Commissioner Bird then asked what kind of special events could occur in front of the

Todd Oppenheimer stated that the area in front of the storage building will need to be an
improved surface for access, regardless of any stages or special events in this location. He
noted that based upon recent discussion with the Special Event Coordinator and Highline
Entertainment, this will not be a location for winter concerts due to impacts to the athletic fields
and safety concerns that the snow on the fields could be compacted into ice during a concert
event.
Commissioner Bird asked about the removal of the presidential pavers with dedication names
that people donate a lot of money.
Pedro Campos responded that the pavers will be reused.
Commissioner Pratt asked how fertilizer or dirt is delivered to the alpine garden. Kurt Freisen
stated that the truck will stay near the west entrance and the apron has enough space for a truck
turnaround. Commissioner Pratt stated the west entrance is a great improvement. He said a
simple railing is not appropriate. The heli-pad location presents an opportunity to merge some
uses. He stated that closing the east gate entrance is a loss for the amphitheater and location
will be very crowded. He said the old shacks at the park are just being replaced with new
shacks.
Commissioner Cartin asked about installing removable bollards to require smaller delivery trucks
to stay on the east side of the park. Kurt Freisen stated that they will look into this.
Commissioner Cartin asked if there is a way to prevent two trucks from going to the loading dock
at once. Kurt Freisen explained the loading queue. Commissioner Cartin stated he is in favor of
the green roof and added his support for stormwater control and management. He said that this
is a good time to make sure the creek is being protected.
Todd Oppenheimer noted that a loading dock sign will likely be installed similar to Arrabelle and
the Front Door loading docks.
Commissioner Pierce asked why there is no green roof on all the proposed structures. Todd
Oppenheimer stated that they selected the storage/restroom building for its location and views.
The other structures have not been finalized and could include a green roof.
Commissioner Pierce asked if utility services would be upgraded at the same time as the
proposed construction. Todd Oppenheimer noted that utility upgrades are being discussed and
are planned to coordinate with the proposed construction.
Commissioner Pierce asked about seating on the amphitheater lawn and whether circulation
could be aligned with the posts. Pedro Campos stated the VVF does not agree with that
suggestion due to poor circulation. He said most performances are not static so the view is not
always blocked behind the poles.
Commissioner Bird asked about increasing the berm in the back of the amphitheater. Pedro
Campos explained the infill of the berm, including the transplant of all existing trees after
construction.
Commissioner Pierce asked about procedures for motions.
Bill Gibson requested that the Commission make motions for the variance and conditional use
permit as outlined in the Staff memorandum.

Upon dissent of the conditional use permit, Commissioner Pratt stated he opposed due to the
mountain contemporary architectural style of the proposed buildings. He added that there are too
many new buildings that have spread out the park uses too much, but otherwise he supports the
project.
Commissioner Rediker recognized that a lot of work has gone into the proposal and he generally
supports the project. However, he is concerned about the drainage issues and wants to let the
Town Council know that the run-off from the expanded parking lot and Betty Ford Way must be
addressed prior to construction.
There was no public comment.

3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to Section 12-3-7,
Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations amendments to Title 12, Zoning
Regulations, and Title 14, Development Standards, Vail Town Code, to require restoration of
watercourses and riparian areas, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC120011)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Rachel Dimond
ACTION: Tabled to June 11, 2012
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Cartin VOTE: 6-0-0
Rachel Dimond made a presentation per the Staff memorandum.
There was no public comment.
Commissioner Kurz asked about the status of the Eagle River Water and Sanitation District.
Rachel noted that it is still in process, and other groups are also doing plans.
Commissioner Kurz recommended continuing the one at a time approach and waiting for the
studies being completed prior to adopting public policy and statutory regulations. He asked if
there is authority to address these issues today.
Rachel Dimond indicated that the Town has authority only on public property as trespassing.
Commissioner Kurz asked what is currently enforceable and what information is needed to adopt
regulations.
Commissioner Cartin noted that many small steps are needed. We can do unlimited study or
can start making positive impact without overstepping our bounds. He noted concern about
point sources and spraying that go directly into the creek. He recommended adding studies to
justify the proposed amendments in the memos. He is curious what regulations the State of
Colorado will be imposing since they will supersede the Town regulations. He understands the
goal of reclaiming creek areas, but is concerned that the Town and Town leasees are not doing
best practices. The protection of the creek need to be comprehensive. Examples are more
paving in the villages and spraying for beetles in the Forest Service Lands.
Commissioner Rediker agreed that another presentation would be helpful. He recommended
looking at a variety of tools including taking back Town land and considering strengthening
setbacks (including the golf course) and requiring re-vegetation. If you own within x feet of Gore
Creek you can only use certain fertilizers. Point sources are easy to address, but non-point
1 - 2 - 4
6/5/2012
Page 5
source is difficult. New regulations will be un-popular. Gore Creek is no longer a gold medal
fishery and there are no fish in Gore Creek
Commissioner Kurz asked how spraying is regulated: by whom, what is sprayed, is it done
properly, etc.
Commission Cartin described the EPA regulation of spraying.
Commissioner Bird noted that many chemicals are available to homeowners and many spray
their own trees.
Commissioner Cartin noted that it’s a tricky balance for the Town to recommend what to spray to
individual property owners. He recommended balancing limited direct access to the creek while
still minimizing impacts to the creek.
Commissioner Rediker recommended incentivizing stream tract improvements with tax breaks or
other similar methods, rather than only penalizing negative behaviors.
Commissioner Cartin recommended giving priority to river birches with free tree give away.
Commissioner Pratt, owning property on the creek, does not support increasing setbacks. The
Town isn’t using best practices today. TOV doesn’t required grease and oil traps and should
install them at Ford Park. The TOV should cleanup its own act first. Education is critical. He
noted pictures of the large lawn washed away in East Vail as an example. On the east coast, the
state will plant forests on private land. The Town should provide more options to replace
willows. Property lines are in the creek in some areas, so people should have property rights to
do what they wish. Commissioner Pratt stated he likes ideas of 20-30 buffer along creek instead
of measuring the setback from the centerline of the creek. He added that he believes golf course
and CDOT run-off are more impactful.
Commissioner Rediker asked about impacts from the golf course.
Commissioner Cartin noted that golf course have changes significantly in recent years and for
fiscal reasons minimize their usage of chemical.
Commissioner Rediker finds it ironic that the State may be imposing water quality rules, yet
CDOT is dumping tons of mag-chloride on the interstate.
Commissioner Pratt reiterated the need to educate about alternatives to willows and the need for
bank stabilization in particular along the golf course.
Commissioner Cartin commented that channelization projects are needed along the creek.
Rachel Dimond summarized the Commissioners’ comments and asked for additional comment
about the first two concepts in the Staff memo.
Commissioner Bird noted her support for requiring revegetation at the time of redevelopment
applications.
Commissioner Rediker asked about property ownership along Gore Creek.
1 - 2 - 5
6/5/2012
Page 6
Rachel Dimond explained the current ownership patterns and the impacts on riparian areas.
She also described the current setback regulations and asked for comment on the existing
regulations.
Commissioner Kurz in general supported larger setbacks. He recommended an environmental
analysis.
Commissioner Pratt agreed. He used the example of a glycol risk from a heated sidewalk versus
a gravel path. He did not support retroactive punishment. He supports more public educations
and again noted the erosion along Aspen Lane as examples to help with public education.
Commissioner Cartin recommend understanding what the Town can and can’t affect. He again
noted that the broader issues must be considered such as spraying, run-off, etc. He noted that
eliminating mag-chloride is a more challenging issue. TOV can be a leader. Stephens Park, golf
course, etc. could be examples of best management practices. He agrees with Kurz that studies
are needed to help address the real issues.
Commissioner Kurz asked for additional information about the tributaries and their health. He
asked for another briefing from ERWSD. He’s concerned that setbacks may not be addressing
the real issue.
Commissioner Rediker reiterated concerns about CDOT impacts. He asked if chemical analysis
can be done in addition to only bug counts.
Commissioner Pierce emphasized the need for public education. A newspaper isn’t adequate.
Doing a sample project at the golf course creates a real story, with a visible effect, that people
will better understand and will support. He’s concerned about increasing setbacks. He prefers
the suggestion of measuring from the high water mark. He asked if the public could purchase,
obtain conservation easements, etc. to help protect what is currently private property. He noted
the need for the Town to lead by example.
Commissioner Cartin noted that Stephens Park is a good example of a successful project that
protected the creek, but maintained some public access. He believes studies and thought is
needed if setbacks are changed.
Commissioner Kurz cautioned about public relations. The public needs to understand the creek
is a resource and an important asset to the community.
There was no public comment.
4. A request for the review of conditional use permits, pursuant to Section 12-9C-3, Conditional
Uses, Vail Town Code, for a healthcare facility and a public building and grounds, to allow for the

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2012
ITEM/TOPIC: Fire Station 2 Renovation Discussion
PRESENTER(S): Mark Miller/Greg Hall/Bill Pierce from Pierce Architects
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff is requesting that Council review and consider
the information presented regarding the renovation of Main Vail Fire Station 2, including
design and programming. Information includes advantages of moving the renovation to late
2012 in lieu of 2013 due to a variety of operation/functional/financial issues.
BACKGROUND: The renovation of Fire Station No. 2 has been discussed and/or deferred for
many years. Station 2 is significantly beyond its useful life in regards to basic
infrastructure/systems, and in need of substantial repairs and maintenance. There is $1.75
million in the 2013 budget as part of the five year capital plan for renovation of Fire Station 2.
Due to several significant projects including: municipal building construction, golf course
clubhouse renovation, library renovation, etc., it has become apparent that moving the station
renovation to 2012 would be prudent and advantageous for the town (see memo). As a matter
of due diligence, much research has been completed to date, including: conceptual
design/engineering, construction estimates, building structural evaluation, PEC and DRB
conceptual review, etc. to verify feasibility of the project.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Town staff is recommending that Council approve moving
forward with final design and engineering and eliciting bids for construction to begin in early
September, pending final approval by Council. Additionally staff is recommending to Council:
*Approval of $100,000 to complete the design and solicit bids, with anticipated award in
August, advancing the project ahead by four months;
*Review the project plans and provide approval to seek final DRB approval (June 6th);
*Provide input with regard to using the old Resident Firefighter space on the second floor as
employee housing units (or temporary office space if needed).

Fire Station 2 Renovation Memorandum

To: TOV Council
From: Stan Zemler, Town Manager; Mark Miller, Fire Chief; Greg Hall, PW Director
Date: 06/05/12
Subject: Fire Station 2 (Main Vail) renovation
__________________________________________________________________________
This is an update on the renovation of the Fire Station 2 (Main Vail), including a
proposal to advance this project up in a relatively short time frame. The renovation of
Fire Station 2 is within the 2013 capital budget. The first supplemental of this year
advanced funds to move the project forward through design development and
entitlements, and to explore the potential of up to 1400 SF of temporary office space if
needed by March 2013. Included are the approximate timelines and associated benefits
for starting/completing the renovation in 2012/2013. There are substantial functional and
operational advantages to beginning the project this summer.
Fire Station 2
Construction Timeline/Response Procedure
All timelines approximate:
• If approved - Proposed construction of Fire Station 2 to begin early
September 2012 – (pending final approval by DRB, and contract award by
TOV Council in August)
Library staff is currently in the space below La Bottega and will
move out in late September/early October 2012, when Library
construction is complete.
• Fire crews will move into the La Bottega space from September through
substantial construction completion – (February 2013). Crews will respond
from La Bottega space, and deploy fire apparatus from station 2 (bay will
remain functional during most of construction phase).
• Upon completion of station 2 (March 2013) – fire crews will move back in –
TOV staff will then be moved into La Bottega space as necessary (during
construction of municipal building).
2 - 1 - 1
6/5/2012
Town of Vail Page 2
Advantages:
• Timing is ideal for this particular scenario – we have a 6-7 month “window of
opportunity” (September 2012 – March 2013) to occupy space below La Bottega
while construction is completed; and before TOV staff move in (due to muni-
building construction).
• No reduction or significant disruption in emergency response
• The La Bottega space will work nicely for fire crews during the renovation
(laundry, restrooms, office/meeting space, etc.). Fire apparatus will remain
parked in front (or inside as construction allows) of fire station 2.
• Does not conflict with golf course clubhouse renovation or municipal building
construction.
• Significant guest improvements, i.e., public restrooms – online for next year’s
farmers market (a year earlier). Information kiosk opportunity, improved aesthetic
appearance.
• Allows TOV to string together four building projects in a logical format, with no
overlap.
• If station is deferred to 2013, the workload of the municipal building construction
and the golf course clubhouse construction could delay the fire station to 2014,
and likely not be completed prior to 2015.
• The potential delay may require significant capital maintenance expenditures as
the building and its systems are beyond their intended useful life.
• The budget request change is possible without any changes to other projects.
Disadvantages:
• No substantial disadvantages other than; if we defer renovation until 2013 – none
of the above mentioned advantages will apply. Crews will have to relocate to
one of the other two fire stations (in lieu of the La Bottega space) and response
times/work efficiency will be negatively affected.
• A 2013 renovation will conflict with municipal building and golf course clubhouse
construction.
Due diligence completed:
• Design development complete
• Pre-construction estimate complete
• PEC conditional approval complete – DRB review (will defer final approval for
owner (TOV).
• Two options reviewed – “EHU” space and “white box” space in upstairs area
(formerly the Resident Firefighter dorms)
• Estimated final cost is within the $1.75 million budgeted in 2013.

Season Overview
Given the record low snow for the season and decreased lift tax numbers it would be expected once
the final skier numbers are released they would be below last years. The vast majority of the decreased
skier numbers would be expected to be made up of both local and front range visitors. These two
groups make up the majority of the all day parking patrons.
The town again operated all the public spaces in the garage available to all users this last season (no
value lots). This allowed full utilization of the public spaces on peak days. This was the first full year of
operation of the Lionshead short term drop off area. We had estimated during the 2010-2011 season
we would see 200 less cars per day during the week and 100 cars per day during the weekend due to
construction. In addition, we acknowledged the addition of 80 spaces in Solaris. Solaris operated with
more of their 300 spaces going to public parking than just the 80. The result on days the Village filled
there were 300 cars in Solaris. Some of the cars were for Solaris businesses with the majority using the
garage as a public garage. There was also increased use of Middle Creek and 7 day a week use of
Safeway. Adding to the supply was the other private lots operating last season. Vail Resorts was a plus
61 spaces over last year due to completion of the North Day lot project.
2010-2011 Revenue/Use Overviews
Passes
Pink and Value passes were the passes of choice with a drop in popularity in the higher priced pass
products. This is due to the good value of the lower priced passes and private competition and choices
for the higher priced passes.
Daily revenue
Revenue was down mainly due to the lack of snow, less drive up customers, an increase in the use of
the 2 hour period nine less days of collection and Solaris continuing to be another choice for users. In
addition, using a significant sample, the percentage of users in the initial free period increased from
46.44% to 50.25% (0-2 hour) of all transactions, the number of transactions in the 4+hour periods
decreased from 34.06% to 30.46 %, and finally increased use of value passes from both Vail and down
valley locals.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2012
ITEM/TOPIC: Vail Golf and Nordic Center Project update
PRESENTER(S): Greg Hall; Pedro Campos, Dave Kaselak & David Baum with Zehren and
Associates and Mike Ortiz with the Vail Recreation District
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review the project plans to date, review the project
cost estimates and budget, review the project schedule
BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail (TOV) initiated the Vail Golf and Clubhouse project
through the use of the Conference Center Funds. Initial design work was prepared by Pierce
Architects as a sketch plan as part of the decision to initiate the Conference Center Funds
ballot issue. The question to use Conference Center Funds was strongly supported by the Vail
electorate 80% voting in favor. The project is jointly funded project between the Town of Vail
(TOV) and the Vail Recreation District (VRD). Zehren and Associates was hired by the Town
to design the project. The two staffs and the TOV and VRD recreation subcommittee have
been working with the design team to review program and planning of the new space. The
design were estimated by RA Nelson a local general contractor to provide pre-construction
services for the project. We are in front of the Town Council to provide an update on the
plans, cost estimates and budget and project schedule.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to continue to pursue the recommended design of
5.2 and make the budget adjustments as originally planned in the 2013 budget process.

TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Greg Hall, Director of Public Works and Transportation
DATE: June 5, 2012
SUBJECT: Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse Remodel Project
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this agenda item is to present an update on the Golf and Nordic Center remodel
project and receive direction from the Town Council.
Information to be presented includes:
• Building and site design program,
• Sustainability design
• Project Cost and Budget Update
• Project schedule
• Series of next steps for advancing the project forward.
The Golf Course and Nordic Center Clubhouse remodel project is a partnership between the
Town of Vail (TOV) and the Vail Recreation District (VRD). The project envisioned a significant
remodel of the existing clubhouse and an addition to provide event space and support areas.
The project is being funded with a portion of the conference center fund ballot initiative which
received overwhelming support 80 % in favor from the electorate last fall. The event space
addition is an effort to sustain and grow Vail’s economy.
The two staffs have worked with the design team from Zehren and Associates on the project.
The project work progress has been reviewed by the TOV and VRD recreation sub committee
as well.
The project is at a point where it is appropriate to update the Town Council on the status of the
project and receive any input as the project design moves forward.
II. KEY POINTS OF THE PROJECT
• The redevelopment site includes the existing parking lot and surrounding area from
Sunburst Drive, the southern property line, and up to the driving range fence, the last
100 yards of the 18th fairway and green, and the current clubhouse.
• The project is a remodel/expansion of the current clubhouse
• The 18th hole will be reconstructed including new tee boxes and green. The green will be
relocated to the east approximately 135 yards. The design is being reviewed by the
VRD board and the project has received DRB approval. Construction is anticipated to
begin in August.
• A rezoning of the site allows the review of the project to move through the PEC approval
process properly. PEC recommended rezoning a portion of the project, the rezoning
request will be heard by the Vail Town Council

• Enhancement of the Golf and Nordic guest experience is critical
• Separation of Event/Recreation users is important
• The existing building is approximately 20,000 SF the new expanded building is
approximately 22,000 SF
• Safety of all users is critical
• Mitigation of development impacts is required as determined by the PEC
• The parking requirement/lot is assumed to increase due to the expanded space. (The
parking will be determined by the PEC).
• The Golf and Nordic operation are displaced for the duration of the redevelopment
project construction period (+/- 18 months).
• The budget presented to during conference center fund discussions was $6.8 M, the
current 2012 budget is $6,712,761, this includes use of the recreation enhancement
funds through 2012.
III. VAIL GOLF AND NORDIC CLUBHOUSE DESIGN PROGRAM
The staffs have been working with Zehren and Associates to prepare a design program for the
Golf and Nordic Clubhouse building. The starting point of this design was the work prepared by
Pierce Architects last year. To date, internal interviews have been conducted with key staff
members, service providers (Nordic and Grill) and the recreation sub committee and conceptual
studies have been completed to fully understand the current and projected spatial needs of the
project. Site plan analysis of circulation of vehicles and pedestrians for guests, users, service,
as well as the Town of Vail Bus have been conducted as well.
A summary of the program requirements follows:
• The inside event space is programmed for 200 people. The event space deck would
allow an additional 50 people. The event lawn should be sized for 200 people, this could
be the site of say a wedding ceremony and then the reception would take place inside.
• The event space should have an appropriately sized pre convene space
• The common areas of restrooms and elevator and stair circulation will be shared
however there will be separate entrances for the event space and the recreation space
• The grill/bar is sized for 40 people inside
• The kitchen is actually sized for the grill functions, a separate warming kitchen space is
provided for the event space. This will allow the use of multiple caters similar to Donovan
Pavilion.
• The Golf/Nordic pro shop and arrival should be placed at the parking lot level.
• The design provides for both a winter operation plan and a summer operation plan and
any use of the cart barn in the winter must be to a finished quality expected for Vail
guests.
• The separation and enhancement of circulation movements is important
• The golf will have a separate finish area from the start area with encouragement for
golfers to exit through the grill/pro shop.
• The remaining existing square footages will remain relatively the same or reduced due to
more efficient planning
• Two story tall (3-4 level) building.
• Uses have been arranged to make the functions more efficient than they are today.
• Reuse of as much of the exiting building structure is critical to maintain the original
project budget.
• The area of the existing 18th green is needed to make up parking lost to circulation and
any additional parking requirements as well as provide an outside event lawn area.

• The project designers and staff will meet with the adjacent property owners to
understand and provide design solutions to help address their concerns
The initial program resulted in Design 3.1 and the related conceptual site plan. During the
pricing exercise Design 3.2 and Design 5.2 evolved along with the schematic site plan. All the
plans are attached.
IV. GENERAL CONTRACTOR COST ESTIMATES, PROJECT DESIGN AND BUDGET
The budget for the work the General Contractor priced was $4.42M. RA Nelson a local general
contractor has been retained by the Town of Vail to provide preconstruction services. As a part
of the service the contractor has met with all the design disciplines and provided detailed
preliminary estimates. The contractor performed two detailed estimates for two designs which
include site work and provided a Value Engineering (VE) adjustment on a third hybrid. The
results are as follows:
Design 3.1 $ 6.10 M
Design 5.2 $ 4.65 M
Design 3.2 VE of 3.1 $ 5.35 M
Design 3.1- included almost an entire new structure even though the footprint was similar to the
other designs. It also provided the grill and event space to coexist on the same level, similar to
the original Pierce design. This was the most efficient operations plan.
Design 3.2- looked at not providing the grill and event space on the same level as well as some
additional VE items.
Design 5.2- used the as much of the current building as possible with the least amount of
remodel to the back of house functions in addition to incorporating the VE items identified
previously.
As stated the 2012 budget is at $ 6.7 M, the original overall budget was estimated at $ 6.8 M, it
was anticipated that due to the project taking place in 2013 and finishing in 2014. The recreation
enhancement fund for those years would be applied to the project to make up the shortfall
anticipated. See the attached budget worksheet. The combined 2013 and 2014 amounts
budgeted in the 5 year RETT budget is 261,440. This does add an additional $ 100,000 above
$6.8M however, beyond the building and site work there are items which are anticipated to add
costs to the project at this time specifically temporary structures and safety concerns with the
Golf finish area.
The design team and staff recommend Design 5.2 be forwarded and design alternatives be
incorporated in the bidding document to provide enhancements which could be added if the
project savings result as the project advances.
The design team did an outstanding job in providing a design which met the intent of the original
budget and still enhances the guest experience of the recreational users and provides the
programmed event space.
There was some concern, during the recreation sub committee discussion as to whether with
Design 5.2, the design does not go far enough with regard to the value of the overall project as
perceived from a voter/tax payer point of view. The discussion was the major guest areas will be
greatly enhanced and the back of house will have little change from the existing conditions.

SUMMARY OF MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS:
• More clear and intuitive arrival sequence with a central
point of entry and exit into and out of the parking lot with
no confusing choices before-hand.
• Reversed one-way circulation within parking lots to
clarify flow of vehicle traffic and minimize confli cts
between private vehicles, buses, service deliveries and
pedestrians.
• New bus turn-around movement and exit away from
primary circulation routes and coordinated with one -way
traffic pattern, while allowing the bus stop and sh elter to
remain in its existing location.
• Elimination of service drive near bus stop and sh elter,
enabling an enhanced golf staging area and reducing
conflicts with buses.
• Dedicated golf staging area with temporary check-
in parking, bag drop area, cart staging area, tourn ament
staging area. Controlled delivery access point.
• Separation of golf and events arrival minimizing overlap
between different users and programmed space, while
allowing for shared uses when necessary.
• New event parking area screened from view with
landscape elements (landscaping, berms, walls and o r
fencing) and accommodating service deliveries.
• New ‘events pavilion’ within the building, and
associated outdoor events lawn oriented toward prim ary
Gore Range eastern views.
• Pedestrian spaces, walkways, and building entries
catering to different user groups.
• Terraces and outdoor spaces maximizing views and
responding to aspect and prevailing winds.
• Screened and concealed service and trash areas.

Town of Vail Page 2
(Items marked with an eristic * are partially funded with a contribution of $2.1 M match
of Conference Center Fund dollars to fund improvements to the amphitheater
IV. FORD PARK BUDGET AND COST ESTIMATE
The Town is committed to a contribution of $2.1 M match of Conference Center Fund
dollars to fund improvements to the amphitheater. These funds are not included in the
Ford Park budget discussion outlined below.
The budget for Ford Park is as follows.
Conference Center Fund $3.8 M
RETT Fund $2.5 M
Total Budget $6.3 M
The total cost estimate for the items included in the Development Plan is $7.511 M.
This leaves a budget shortfall of $1.211 M. The source of the additional cost can be
categorized in 4 areas as follows:
1. West restroom/maintenance $556 K
a. Significant water main extension
b. Extended sanitary sewer service
c. Reconstruction of West Betty Ford
d. Concrete pavers on West Betty Ford Way
e. New park pedestrian lighting
2. Athletic field realignment $100 K
a. Subsurface drainage system
b. Additional fencing
3. East Betty Ford Way improvements $400 K
a. Concrete pavers
b. Additional wall height and length
4. Drop off and parking $155 K

The utility line extensions will serve more than the West and East Restroom buildings in
the future. These are estimated costs prepared by a General Contracting firm. Actual
costs will determined through the bidding process and may vary from the estimated
costs. Staff recommends the budget shortfall be accommodated in the following
manner.
1. There is $427 K already included in the 2012 RETT Capital Budget for Ford Park
upper bench outbuilding replacement. When combined with the current Ford
Park Conference Center fund project the total project budget is $6.7 M and the
budget shortfall is $784 K.

2. Bid the following items as Add Alternates to the Base Bid and make the final
budget determination based on actual bid amounts. These Add Alternates have
a combined estimated cost of $725 K.
a. Concrete pavers on West Betty Ford Way and concessions and bus stop
areas, $103 K
b. Concrete pavers on East Betty Ford Way, $352 K
c. New pedestrian lighting throughout the park, $270 K
3. An additional $90 K in cost reduction can be realized by operating the restroom

6/5/2012
To: Town Council
From: Sales Tax Division
Date: May 25, 2012
Subject: Xcel Energy Sales Tax and Franchise Fees Collected in Error
I. BACKGROUND
Near the end of March, we were contacted by some Bachelor Gulch residents and their
accountants concerning Vail sales tax and franchise fees appearing on their bills from
Xcel Energy. Bachelor Gulch is clearly outside the Town of Vail and not subject to
these taxes.
II. RESOLUTION
Sally Lorton contacted Xcel who confirmed they had been collecting and remitting Vail
taxes in error. They were aware of the problem and had corrected it going forward.
They had also begun making refunds to customers who contacted them. We assured
Xcel of our willingness to cooperate to make sure our Bachelor Gulch neighbors were
made whole.
As of May 25, Xcel identified 44 customers who were due refunds totaling $59,046.89,
including $43,761.43 in sales tax and $15,582.16 in franchise fees. According to Todd
Anderson, Area Manager, Community and Local Government Affairs for Xcel Energy, all
customer accounts have now been credited. Xcel Energy will reduce their next
remittances to us by the appropriate amounts.

6/5/2012
To: Vail Town Council
From: Lori A. Barnes, Town Librarian
Date: May 29, 2012
Subject: Vail Public Library Moving Schedule
I. SUMMARY
Library Staff have identified a plan for relocating library services from the “mini-library”
on the east end of Dobson Ice Arena back to the newly renovated public service space
of the library. We have been in communication with TOV Facilities, TOV IT, and the
Marmot consortium’s technology consultants to ensure a smooth transition during this
relocation so as to minimize the disruption of service to our valued patrons.
II. DISCUSSION
The relocation of Vail Public Library’s public service space will necessitate 6 days of
closure to the public (June 28 through July 3) as we must relocate all materials,
equipment and services from the Dobson “mini-library”. In addition, we must also
relocate all materials returned to the library during the past three months and which are
currently in “storage” at our Plum office space. This relocation effort will only be
focusing on those materials, equipment and services which are of a public service
nature. All administrative and technical services operations will remain at the Plum
office space until the entire renovation project is complete. We anticipate that this will
occur in the early autumn months.
III. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Staff requests the town council to authorize the closure of Vail Public Library beginning
Thursday, June 28th through Tuesday, July 3rd to enable staff to not only relocate but to
ensure that our newly renovated public service space is fully operational by the start of
business on Thursday, July 5th.

REVENUE HIGHLIGHTS
May 29, 2012
Sales Tax
Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, April collections are estimated to be
$1,152,764 down 3.3% from last year and down 0.2% compared to budget. The
ski season (November – April) are estimated to be up 3.9% from the prior ski
season. The 2011/12 ski season had the largest sales tax collection ever. Year
to date collections of $10,162,480 are up 2.3% from last year and up 9.87% from
budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was up 2.3% for
April.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT)
RETT collections through May 30th total $2,179,487 up 1.6% from this time last
year. Of current collections, approximately 16% is from major redevelopment
projects including Arrabelle, Four Seasons, Landmark, Manor Vail, Mountain
View, Ritz Carlton Residences, Solaris, and The Sebastian. Collections not
related to major redevelopment projects currently total $1,826,713, up 71% from
prior year.
Use Tax
Use tax collections currently total $608,659, exceeding the annual budget of
$515,000. The increase in activity is due to both significant home renovations as
well as a few larger commercial renovation projects.
Summary
Across all funds and revenue accounts through May 29, 2012, total revenue of
$26.2 million is up 1.4% year-to-date from budget and down 1.3% from this time
last year. We have currently received 50% of total budgeted revenues for the

MEMORANDUM
May 24, 2012
To: Vail Town Council
Stan Zemler
Pam Brandmeyer
Judy Camp
From: Sally Lorton
Re: April Sales Tax
I estimate Vail will collect another $55,000 in April sales tax to bring April
collections to $1,152,764. If so, we will be down .2% or $2,295 from budget and
down 3.3% or $38,926 from April 2011. The ski season (November – April) would
be up 3.9% or $536,785 from the prior ski season. The 11/12 ski season had the
largest sales tax collection ever.
Lift tax for April is down 22.4% or $81,628 from April 2011, the ski season
is down 3.4% or $117,553.
