and process with regard to this application.

community. He highlighted that there were no significant changes proposed for this area which
would affect the application being presented today.

could be used in the new social courtyard structure.

Commissioner Pratt asked Mr. Campos to explain the arrival sequence for a guest starting with
picking up of tickets.
Pedro Campos used an exhibit from the presentation to describe the arrival sequence.
Commissioner Cartin asked for some clarification.
Pedro Campos described the social plaza as the new lobby for the amphitheater.
Commissioner Hopkins inquired if a rain analysis had been done to predict the impacts of the top
aperture and the 14-foot openings.
Pedro Campos spoke to the thought that has gone into the design for rain, snow, and light. He
added that the structure was not designed to provide complete protection.
Commissioner Cartin inquired as tot eh color of the material and posts.
Pedro Campos spoke to the translucent nature of the cream colored fabric and the loss of the
light transmittance.
Commissioner Rediker asked why there was a hole at the top.
Pedro Campos explained that it was for light.
Commissioner Pierce inquired as to whether or not there were new restrooms. He also inquired
as to restroom access.
Pedro Campos explained that there were no new restrooms, and how they would be accessed.
Commissioner Pierce stated his difficulty in moving forward on the application when the next
item on the agenda was a request for the review and adoption of revisions to the Ford Park
Master Plan. He felt that there could be synergies found in the Master Plan revisions. He added
a concern regarding the introduction of yet another architectural style.
Commissioner Kurz spoke to his view of the application and the lower bench always being of a
cultural nature. He was supportive of the application.
Commissioner Hopkins spoke to the impacts of guests arriving for the lawn seats in advance of
performances with “stuff” and getting access to the will call window for tickets. She added that
the changes made to the amphitheater in the first phase have had a positive impact and she is
concerned that some of what is being proposed and potential negative impacts. She stated her
disagreement with staff that the proposal will have no impact to the architecture. She felt that
proposal would have a major impact to the amphitheater and the park overall.
Commissioner Cartin agreed with Commissioner Pierce’s comments regarding the timing, but he
stated his understanding of why the request was being made at this point. He pointed out that it
appears there would be three locations potentially selling food and drinks (VRD, Betty Ford
Alpine Gardens school house, and the amphitheater). He spoke to several concerns with the
architecture of the structure and its relationship to the existing structure. He asked Pedro
Campos to speak to the compatibility.
Pedro Campos spoke to the design work that had gone into the plan. He spoke to the models
that were prepared and the heavy and bulky appearance of other options using solid roofs, etc.
8/20/2013
Page 4
David Baum, Zehren and Associates, representing the applicant, spoke to the previous designs
which included tinsel structures.
Commissioner Pratt stated he felt the proposal was a huge improvement over the previous
design. It is a unique element at the entry. He added that the success of the area will be a great
landscaping plan. He feels that the restroom access has not been solved. Another element of
success will be the programming of the space when there is not an event in the amphitheater.
He feels as though the cart is before the horse with regard to the Master Plan amendments
being explored.
Commissioner Rediker stated he felt that the changes were a significant improvement. He
spoke to the Master Plan language stating that any new roof structures should not dominate the
park. He was not sold on the need to have the covered area. He stated that he felt the proposal
was in conflict with the Master Plan language.
60 minutes
3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council on the adoption of the 2013 Gerald R.
Ford Park Master Plan, an assemblage of the 1985 Ford Park Master Plan, the 1997 Ford Park
Management Plan, and the 2012 Ford Park Management Plan Amendment, located at 530, 540,
and 580 South Frontage Road East/Unplatted, and setting forth details in regard thereto.
(PEC130012)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: George Ruther
ACTION: Table to August 26, 2013
MOTION: Kurz SECOND: Rediker VOTE: 6-0-0
George Ruther gave a presentation per the staff memorandum. He highlighted the history of the
application. He spoke to the additional information that was received with regard to the Betty
Ford Alpine Garden facility preferred location.
Tom Braun, Braun and Associates, representing the applicant gave a presentation in which
responses were provided to previous questions and feedback was requested.
Commissioner Pratt offered a suggestion regarding how to amend the Master Plan language to
encourage cooperation between lease holders. He suggested that lease agreements could
include language for cooperation.
Commissioner Pierce stated that the boundaries need to disappear.
Commissioner Hopkins gave an example that the athletic concessions could be open during
amphitheater events to provide an opportunity for food.
Commissioner Cartin stated the positives of boundaries in the park. It allows for distinctive
spaces.
Jim Lamont, Vail Village Homeowners, suggested that the Master Plan include a provision
requiring multi-purpose/use structures. He suggested the tennis center be bought back by the
Town so that it cold become a multi-purpose/use structure in the future.
Commissioner Cartin asked his fellow Commissioners for their thoughts on the need for
matching architecture.
Commissioner Pratt spoke to the fact that diversity is what makes it interesting. They do not
need to all match.
8/20/2013
Page 5
Commissioner Pierce spoke to the need for a greater relationship between structures when they
are in close proximity to each other.
Commissioner Kurz spoke to the need for the Nature Center to be removed as it is an eyesore.
He added that the functions could occur elsewhere.
Commissioner Pratt believes the structure does serve a purpose and may need to be improved
or replaced and include restrooms. He added that there should be some minimal service parking
for the Nature Center.
Jim Lamont spoke to the initial intent of keeping the Nature Center and the surrounding area
natural and undeveloped. He spoke to a community center that was designed for Ford Park in
1973 or 1974. He suggested that the form proposed for the Social Courtyard may be applicable
to other locations within the park. He added a comment about the Transportation Master Plan is
the Ford Park bridge.
Commissioner Kurz spoke to the parking lot not being a great site for concerts. He suggested
that the amphitheater should be used as a winter venue. He understands the Vail Valley
Foundation does not permit access.
Jack Hunn, representing the Vail Valley Foundation, spoke to the practical difficulty of using the
amphitheater as there is no heat in the restrooms and other buildings. Additionally the lawn
would contain snow and the temperatures under the roof can be frigid.
Commissioner Hopkins suggested the use of the ball fields for special events. Are the athletic
field buildings heated?
Commissioner Rediker likes the idea of multi-use buildings ad eliminating new construction for
the lower bench. He inquired as to the space adjacent to the Wren.
Commissioner Cartin spoke to the Tennis Center being and ideal place for a larger multi-use
building. Close to parking, sense of interest, utilities available, combines multiple uses.
Commissioners Pratt and Pierce supported this concept.
Commissioner Pratt suggested that good ideas should not be precluded in the future, such as an
aquatic center, etc. He added that the parking lot should be identified as an underutilized part of
the park.
Commissioner Pierce suggested it would be beneficial to have a presentation from the VRD on
the programming of the park and the use of the Tennis Center Building. Several Commission
members felt it would be beneficial to hear from the VRD.
Jim Lamont suggested that an aquatic therapy center is what this community deserves. It would
serve the residents, guests, and medical rehabilitation.
Commissioner Hopkins asked where it would go.
Jim Lamont spoke to the need to think beyond Ford Park for some of these uses.
Commissioner Cartin spoke to the natural area preservation zone as being an ideal location for
stream improvements and enhancements.
8/20/2013
Page 6
Commissioner Rediker suggested the need for mandatory language to be included within the
goals and action statements regarding the stream health and improvement.
Tom Braun went through the goal and objective statements.
Commissioner Rediker suggested that the preservation and protection of open space should be
included in Goal 1. Encourage underdevelopment verses over development. He added that
statements encouraging the use of environmental and recycled materials should be included.
Commissioner Cartin suggested switching the order of Goals 3 and 4 as it would flow better.
Commissioner Pierce reiterated that the VRD needs to be invited to a public hearing to hear if
changes that are being proposed will work for them.
Commissioner Pratt spoke to his belief that there are incompatible uses within the park, such as
sports event noise when a concert is occurring. Don’t we want to try and improve the
relationships between uses in a goal statement.
Commissioner Cartin spoke to the need to align needs with all lease holders and the town. For
example restrooms are not needed everywhere.
Commissioner Kurz stated that Goal 6 may be the location to speak to harmony, cooperation,
maximization of programming for residents.
Commissioner Pratt agreed that Goal 6 could be common and state that we are all working
together for the benefit of all residents and guests (work together). Maybe there are no action
steps on this goal.

Vail: Colorado’s famous ski resort turns 50
“Vail is consistently ranked as one of the top five ski resorts in North
America… Unlike some resorts that appeal to the steep and deep crowd,
what makes Vail so popular seems to be that it caters to everyone –
even the non-skier.”
“Vail’s season-long celebration of its 50th anniversary kicks off today with
the launch of a 10-passenger high-speed gondola that features heated,
cushioned seats and Wi-Fi. Festivities continue with a birthday celebration
Dev. 15 and the Burton US Open Snowboarding Championships from Feb. 25
to March 2.”
“I'm 87 now, and I don't ski like I used to. But I still get my powder days, and I enjoy every turn. Every
time I go to Vail, I can't believe what I'm seeing. I never could have dreamed that Vail would become
what it is today, but Pete imagined it all along."
“It makes a lot of sense to start with Vail, Colorado, since it is the
largest resort in the country, usually the most visited US ski resort,
and generally excels at almost every element you could want in a
ski vacation…”
“ Nothing says “happy anniversary” quite like a super-speedy gondola ride. In
honor of its 50th anniversary this season, Vail is debuting One, a truly one-of-a-kind
gondola that travels at a speed of 1,200 feet per minute. The comfy ride –the cabins
seat 10 passengers, boast Wi-Fi and cushioned, heated seats –whisks skiers from Vail
Village to mid-Vail in 7 ½ minutes.”
When the United States Army veterans Pete Seibert and Earl Eaton hiked up an unnamed Colorado mountain in 1957 in search of
good ski terrain, they discovered the vast potential of what would become Vail, now one of the country’s biggest and best-
known resorts. Fifty years after first cranking up its lifts, Vail celebrates its golden anniversary this winter with a packed slate of
events…
8/20/2013
“As we look to the future progression of the US Open, I feel
that Vail offers us the ideal venue to host the event,”
Carpenter said. “Vail is an incredible mountain and has been
my snowboarding home-away-from-home for over 20
years. I have no doubt that the US Open at Vail will only grow
in its legacy as the premier rider-driven event in the world.”
“Fifty years later the resort can attract 1.7 million people to its slopes per season, and it is a
seven-and-one-half-minute ascent up the mountain in the resort’s new 10-person gondola,
equipped with heated seats and Wi-Fi access. Steps from the top of the gondola, one
dining choice of several is a restaurant in which guests exchange ski boots for slippers
before looking over a menu that includes things like hazelnut and ginger buffalo
Carpaccio and selections from a 2,200-bottle on-site wine cellar.”
“The best snowboarders in the world are gathering in Vail this week as the
Burton US Open moves west after 30 years in Vermont. Vail’s debut with the
nation’s longest-running snowboard competition features 120 athletes, from the
next-generation up-and-comers to well-known veterans.”
“But since earlier this winter, visitors to Vail, Colorado
can now ride in high-tech style and keep warm the
whole way up, thanks to a new state-of-the-art
gondola system at the heart of the resort’s sprawling
network of ski trails, which makes getting to the center of
the action a relaxing, climate-controlled ride.”
“As part of Vail’s 50thanniversary
celebration, Vail Resorts is welcoming a
new gondola. The state-of-the-art transport
system is decked out with heated seats
and Wi-Fi. Moving 1,200 feet per minute,
it’s also the fastest gondola of its
type in the world.”
“Still, a trip to Vail has few rivals, whether you spend the day
scampering over more than 5,000 skiable acres, relaxing in a dozen
spas or taking in some of the best shopping west of New York City. “ 8/20/2013

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2013
ITEM/TOPIC: Vail America Days 2013
PRESENTER(S): Sonny Kiersten, CSE Member
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to the presentation, ask questions and provide
feedback.
BACKGROUND: Town Council requested a discussion with CSE regarding Vail America
Days 2013. CSE listened to the recap from the event promoter at the August 7 meeting as well
as input from the community and a Solaris representative which are outlined in the attached
memo.
ATTACHMENTS:
VAD Memorandum
8/20/2013
To: Vail Town Council
From: Commission on Special Events
Date: August 20, 2013
Subject: 2013 Vail America Days Review
Vail America Days 2013: Summary of Event Review
Mission and Program:
The CSE’s goal in re-inventing Vail America Days was to keep people in Vail throughout the 4-
day weekend by providing a festival atmosphere of activities appealing to a large variety of
interests. The CSE recognizes that their role in this event differs from most of the others that
they support in that the Town of Vail is not just a “sponsor,” but actually owns the event.
Highline was chosen as the new producer and delivered a more professional parade, as well as
a strong program of entertainment throughout the day of July 4th, which was successful in
keeping people in town.
In addition to the parade and the fireworks, a full spate of ancillary activities was bundled in the
marketing efforts and included but was not limited to BRAVO! Vail concerts including the ever
popular Patriotic Concert on the 4th, Vail Jazz Foundation kick-off of Jazz at Vail Square on the
4th, Lacrosse, entertainment throughout the weekend in Solaris Plaza, Children’s entertainment
zones, a Pancake Breakfast at the Chapel and the Vail Farmers’ Market on Sunday.
The event was fully debriefed by the Event Review Committee (ERC), and reviewed by the CSE
at their August meeting, where public input was encouraged.
Feedback and Consensus:
3 days of programming for Vail America Days was too much. The CSE is in full agreement
that the day of the 4th of July was highly successful, but that our guests and residents prefer
to expand their activities throughout an entire weekend and enjoy the multiple activities that
Vail has to offer, including biking, hiking, shopping and “doing their own thing.”
Parade:
o 50th Theme inspired strong participation and creativity
o Best ever, strong floats, much improved flow
o Largest number of entries- (78 )- consensus that it should be capped somewhere
between 50 and 60 entries to keep the length under two hours.
o Candy still an issue, from both a safety and clean up perspective
Children’s Activity Zones in Gore Creek Promenade and the Lionshead Mall were a “hit.”
Solaris “Beer Garden” was a strong addition to the holiday, but wore thin over 3 days.
8/20/2013
Town of Vail Page 2
Fireworks: Mixed reviews on the Close Proximity type of fireworks.
o Traditional vs. intimate. Strong opinions on both sides.
o Show in the village was successful in bringing people back into the village in the evening
and enjoying the intimate atmosphere. Less viewing options and the smaller scale were
disappointing to some; others enjoyed the intimacy of the village and the intensity of
color.
o CSE members support the environmental benefits and the ability to “go on with the
show” in spite of potential fire bans.
o General agreement that the fireworks should be a bigger show, whichever type of
fireworks is chosen.
o Most expensive component of the event. The display was paid for last year, and the
contract extended to this year, they were therefore “free” to the producer and the budget
will need to account for that additional expense in 2014. (This year’s fireworks display
cost $35,000.)
Solaris Input:
Public comments from Jon Boord, Solaris Plaza Manager, who stated that he represents Solaris
management, owners and tenants, and the commercial entities that are within the Plaza. Boord
stated the following:
Fireworks were appropriate use of sound & light and there were no negative comments
from Solaris tenants.
4 days was “too much noise,” noting that the attendance got smaller and smaller over the
weekend. There were multiple complaints from owners and tenants.
Sponsor conflicts: Placement within the plaza of competing restaurants who were grilling
directly in front of Bol’s patio, as well as advertisement and banner placements from direct
competitors.
The plaza is showing a lot of “wear and tear,” and sustained a fair bit of damage over the
weekend. People were standing on every surface and climbing into the “fire pit,” damaging
the interior. He noted that the security personnel seemed to be tasked only with protecting
the alcohol barrier and that they should be more proactive in monitoring behavior that
causes actual damage.
Expressing that there were some “bumps” in the communication with Highline, they did not
know what to expect. They feel a need to know in advance what is going to be set-up.
Commenting on the over-use of the plaza, he noted that their competitors use as
advertisement, “Don’t buy there, it’s a circus!”
Solaris has put in a request to reserve July 4th as one of their “15 days” next year and
produce an event themselves in a manner that would better serve the interests of their
tenants, residents and businesses.
The Numbers:
Estimated attendance of 55,000+, based on photos, crowd estimates, parking counts,
vendor feedback and food and beverage sales.
Budget:
o Total event budget: $162,039
o CSE funds: $71,500 (includes fireworks contract carry-over from 2012)
o Profit and loss: Loss of $41,837 without an agency fee
o Funding utilization: Offset budget expenses
o Extensive in-kind sponsorship provided by Town of Vail
o Cash sponsorship: $20,846
Remarking that “Highline was the only entity in the Town of Vail that lost money on the 4th
of July,” James Deighan stated that they cannot produce the event next year unless the
8/20/2013
Town of Vail Page 3
event is fully funded. The estimated “gap” exceeds $50,000, without including the
fireworks, which were already funded from last year’s hold over contract.
Next Year:
There is consensus among the CSE that the festival concept is attractive to our guests, and
offers a strong marketing tool. Recognizing that the event was “over-programmed” this year, the
focus on the 4th of July, 2014 will be to provide a single full day of celebratory activities,
including the parade, afternoon and evening music and entertainment venue, kids activities, an
expanded fireworks display, with possibly a headliner concert on Saturday evening.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: August 20, 2013
ITEM/TOPIC: Northwest Colorado Council of Governments and the Water Quality and
Quantity Committee
PRESENTER(S): Liz Mullen and Tori Jarvis, Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
(NWCCOG)
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Listen to the presentation, ask questions and provide
feedback.

The Water Quality and Quantity Committee (QQ) comprises municipalities, counties, water and sanitation
districts, and conservancy districts in the headwaters region of Colorado located in Grand, Summit, Eagle,
Pitkin, Park and Gunnison counties. The Colorado River Conservation District is also a QQ member. The Board
is made up of elected and appointed officials from member jurisdictions.
QQ’s purpose is to facilitate and augment the efforts of member jurisdictions to protect and enhance the
region’s water quality while encouraging its responsible use for the good of Colorado citizens and the
environment.
QQ monitors water development activities and participates in legislative and administrative proceedings that
affect water quality or quantity in the basin of origin. QQ Committee meetings operate as a forum for policy
formulation and strategic decision-making by QQ Committee members.
QQ staff provides members with legislative monitoring, water quality information, litigation and rulemaking
support, transmountain diversion oversight, and related technical assistance to further intergovernmental
cooperation, and increase political clout with state and federal agencies. Day-to-day aspects of the QQ program
are administered through a contract for services staffed by Barbara Green, Lane Wyatt, and Torie Jarvis.
Together, they offer a combination of legal, public policy, lobbying and environmental engineering skills to the
membership.
CURRENT QQ PROJECTS
QQ has had several ongoing and completed projects in 2012 – 2013 that are listed below.
• Participation in the Colorado River Basin Roundtable [a result of the 2005 Water for the 21st Century
Act] and Non-consumptive Needs Subcommittee. Lane Wyatt was appointed to the Roundtable by
Summit County Municipalities. Holding their interests in mind, he also considers all headwater issues
including instream uses, recreation, the environment, and issues of transmountain diversions.
• Lobbying on legislation pertinent to QQ members and the headwaters region. This coming year will be
the tenth year QQ has had a lobbyist on staff.
• Support for the Colorado River Cooperative Agreement negotiations. The agreement resolves
longstanding legal issues between the Denver Water Board and the West Slope and sets the stage for a
new, cooperative way of approaching transbasin water issues. The idea of a cooperative approach was
first developed through the Upper Colorado Project, a long-range water resources planning project
initiated by QQ.
• Legal representation of QQ as a party in oil and gas commission rulemakings with the goal of protecting
the authority of local government in permitting oil and gas facilities.
• Technical support on a stream flow management plan, which identifies scientifically sound flow levels
to protect instream values in Grand County. The model includes stream and riparian improvement
projects that may be used as a model for other counties.
• Technical support to Grand County during the EIS process for the Windy Gap Firming Project and the
Moffat System expansion. QQ testified at the Grand County 1041 permit proceedings for the WGFP.
• Participation as a stakeholder in the development of a local alternative for the Colorado River Wild and
Scenic process, which is part of BLM’s resource management plan.

• Development of a report identifying the economic implications of maintaining stream flows in the
headwaters. Following its release, the report was utilized for outreach at a wide variety of forums. QQ is
evaluating opportunities to expand the study.
• Active involvement at the forefront of legal and technical water quality issues associated with
abandoned mines in Summit County’s Snake River watershed. As a result, a plan is in the works for
water quality remediation without National Priorities List (NPL) listing through the EPA.
• Participation of QQ as a party in the Colorado Water Quality Control Commission rulemaking on
nutrient criteria. QQ continues to track developments as this new regulation is implemented in phases.
• Coordination with the University of Arizona and the Conserve to Enhance program to establish a pilot
project in Colorado that encourages individual water conservation for the purpose of improved stream
flows or environmental enhancements.
• Preparation of the NWCCOG 208 Regional Water Quality Management Plan, approved by the
NWCCOG Board in May 2012 and currently under review by the Water Quality Control Division. The
208 Plan provides many of the legal underpinnings of QQ legal positions on water quality.
• Participation in the 1051 Water Conservation Technical Advisory Group, developed to implement
HB10-1051, which addresses water conservation data collection. QQ worked with CWCB to ensure QQ
members and smaller West Slope water providers were included in the process.
• Participation as member of the steering committee for the Water Efficiency Action Network of the
Colorado River Basin (WEAN-CRB). WEAN-CRB is a Colorado River basin-wide group of diverse
stakeholders working to advance water efficiency on a basin scale.
• Oversight of the statewide water plan effort, and the impact of such efforts on headwaters’ interests.
• Board meetings that not only address pertinent organizational business, but that offer a forum for
information sharing and education on state-wide issues For example, a recent QQ meeting sponsored a
panel on forest management for watershed protection and developed a white paper on the results of that
discussion.

What is NWCCOG?
Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) is a voluntary association of county and
municipal governments that believes in the benefits of working together on a regional basis. NWCCOG serves 27
member jurisdictions in a 5‐county region. It is located in the northwest portion Colorado just west of the Front
Range, and includes the counties of Eagle, Grand, Jackson, Pitkin and Summit. NWCCOG is the region designat‐
ed by the State of Colorado as State Planning and Management Region 12. It is in the heart of the Rocky Moun‐
tains and is characterized by its mountainous terrain and very high overall altitude.
Most of the area is located among the high peaks of the Colorado Rockies. The region is bordered in the East by
the Continental Divide, in the north by the State of Wyoming, to the west by Garfield County, and to the South
by the Elk Mountain Range in Pitkin County. The region’s economy has transformed over time from a combina‐
tion of mining and agriculture in its early history (1800’s) to tourism and outdoor recreation today. The quality of
life, the mix of local businesses, a skilled work force, a beautiful natural setting, and the international name
recognition provided by world‐class ski resorts are invaluable underpinnings unique to the region’s economy.
State of Colorado
In its 40 years, NWCCOG has evolved into an
organization that addresses a wide spectrum
of issues and opportunities of interest to indi‐
vidual member jurisdictions and the region.
NWCCOG provides services to its mem‐
bers that are more cost‐efective and
efcient when executed on a regional
basis, rather than being duplicated by
each member jurisdiction.
NWCCOG provides the "critical mass"
necessary to take advantage of various
federal programs.
NWCCOG provides a regional perspec‐
tive to local, state, and federal policy
makers.
NWCCOG promotes the concept of re‐
gional multi‐jurisdictional cooperation
for improved efciencies and efective‐
ness between multiple governmental
jurisdictions.
NWCCOG provides a regional forum for
the purpose of facilitating communica‐
tions between multiple governmental
jurisdictions regarding issues and oppor‐
tunities.
NWCCOG leverages members' dues dol‐
lars into larger amounts of financial re‐
sources.

Alpine Area Agency on Aging
The AAAA is the designated regional planning and service agency for aging services in Ea‐
gle, Grand, Jackson, Pitkin, and Summit Counties. Resources made available under the
Older Americans Act and State funds are used to finance those activities necessary to
achieve elements of a comprehensive and coordinated community based system of ser‐
vices for persons over the age of 60, especially those with the greatest social or economic
need, and their family caregivers. Services ofered by the AAAA are intended to assist old‐
er Americans to live independently and with dignity, in their own communities, by remov‐
ing barriers and providing continual care for vulnerable older adults.
NWCCOG is a federally‐designated Economic District under the auspices of the U.S. Eco‐
nomic Development Administration. The NWCCOG—Economic Development District’s
objective is to encourage collaboration among regional stakeholders in community and
economic development, and gather supporting resources to fulfill its goal of enhancing
community wealth. The NWCCOG—EDD brings together the essential partners from
both public and private sectors, to determine the most appropriate strategies to develop
and sustain the vitality of the region, maintaining it as one of the best in the nation in
which to live, work, play, and grow old.
The Elevator Inspection Program inspects and issues permits for commercial and resi‐
dential conveyances (elevators, lifts, dumbwaiters and escalators) to ensure safe convey‐
ances throughout the region. The program began in 1993. NWCCOG has entered into an
MOA with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment Division of Oil and Public
Safety as the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) under the Elevator and Escalator Certi‐
fication Act. NWCCOG member jurisdictions are invited to sign a “Letter of Agreement”
with NWCCOG, agreeing to adopt the elevator codes for conveyances. NWCCOG’s ele‐
vator inspectors work cooperatively with each jurisdiction’s building department to im‐
plement the program in that jurisdiction. The EIP now serves Clear Creek, Eagle, Gar‐
field, Grand, Jackson, Mofat, Pitkin, Routt, Summit counties which includes most of the

The Energy Management Program, also known as Weatherization, weatherizes low
and moderate income homes to reduce their fuel consumption and heating costs. Ser‐
vices include insulation, caulking, weather‐stripping, and the installation of storm win‐
dows, and new energy‐efcient furnaces and refrigerators. NWCCOG is a local admin‐
istering agency under the Weatherization Assistance Program, and is under contract to
the Colorado Governor’s Ofce Weatherization Program. Weatherization has helped
preserve afordable housing units in the region. By reducing a household’s energy con‐
sumption and heating costs, these families have more income available to spend within
their local communities. In addition to reducing energy consumption and heating costs,
the weatherization process corrects any health and safety problems found, such as gas
leaks and carbon monoxide problems. The Weatherization Program has a main ofce
in Silverthorne and a field ofce in New Castle. In addition to weatherizing homes with‐
in the NWCCOG region, NWCCOG also weatherizes homes in Chafee, Clear Creek,
Garfield, Lake, Mofat, Park, Rio Blanco, and Routt Counties.
The Northwest All‐Hazards Emergency Management Region (NWAHEMR) is a ten‐
county region located in the northwest corner of the state. It is comprised of Eagle,
Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Mesa, Mofat, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt, and Summit coun‐
ties. An Executive Board/Steering Committee, made up of each county's emergency
manager as well as discipline representatives, meets on a regular basis to develop
strategies to improve the emergency preparedness of the region through the use of
homeland security grant funds from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
NWCCOG provides fiscal management and program coordination for the NWAHEMR.
The Northwest Loan Fund specializes in financing for start up and young, expanding
small businesses that are unable to obtain conventional funding due to the high risk
associated with such businesses. The Fund focuses on projects which diversify the
economy, create and retain jobs, and provide lasting community benefits.

The Regional Transportation Coordinating Council (RTCC) was formed as a result of
Rural Resort Region's initiative ‐ Seniors in Our Mountain Communities: Challenges and
Opportunities. This project collected data on the growing senior population in our re‐
gion and identified the gaps in services. One of the priority gaps was transportation,
not just within a particular county, but in the public transportation options available to
travel across county boundaries to access healthcare facilities and other services. In
response, the RTCC was formed to be the local coordinating council for a 7‐county rural
area of northwest Colorado including Jackson, Routt, Grand, Summit, Eagle, Garfield
and Pitkin Counties.
The RTCC is working to improve transportation coordination and options for the veter‐
an, senior, disabled, and low‐income adult populations. The RTCC’s eforts are focused
on coordinating the existing public and private transit providers with other human ser‐
vices providers by promoting, enhancing and facilitating seamless access to transpor‐
tation services through a coordinated system that is easily available to customers from
anywhere in the region.
Water Quality/Quantity Committee (QQ)—”QQ” includes towns, counties, and water
and sanitation districts in the Headwaters Region of Colorado. Its purpose is to enable
members to protect and enhance the quality of the region’s waters, while facilitating
the responsible use of those resources for the good of Colorado’s citizens and environ‐
ment. QQ monitors water development activities and legislative initiatives that afect
water quality or quantity in the basin of origin. The QQ Committee meetings provide a
forum for members to formulate policies and strategies, and make decisions. The QQ
staffprovides members with legislative, informational, coordination, supportive and
technical assistance to further intergovernmental cooperation and increase members’
political clout with state and federal agencies.
Watershed Services—NWCCOG has been the designated regional water quality man‐
agement agency for the region since 1976. In that capacity, NWCCOG’s Watershed Ser‐
vices completes and implements a water quality management plan for the NWCCOG
Region, in compliance with Section 208 of the Clean Water Act. The Watershed Service
program also reviews development applications and local land use regulations to de‐
termine consistency and compliance with the 208 Plan.

2013 Highlights:
NWCCOG IS SELECTED TO SERVE AS THE NW REGIONAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK
HUB FOR THE CONNECT FOR HEALTH COLORADO (C4HCO) HEALTH INSURANCE EX‐
CHANGE
The Connect for Health Colorado (C4HCO) Assistance Network is a new program that will provide
local, in person assistance to individuals, families and small businesses looking to shop for health
care coverage through Colorado’s new health insurance marketplace and to apply for a new kind of
tax credit to reduce costs and for other insurance afordability programs. NWCCOG has been se‐
lected to serve as the regional assistance hub for the NW region, which includes the following nine
counties: Eagle, Garfield, Grand, Jackson, Mofat, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt, and Summit.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE NWCCOG REGIONAL STRATEGIC PLAN FOR BROADBAND
The Department of Local Afairs (DOLA) has awarded a $65,000 grant through the Energy and
Mineral Impact Assistance Fund (EIAF) to the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments
(NWCCOG) for the development of an eight‐county strategic plan to improve broadband access
across the region. The participating jurisdictions include Eagle, Grand, Jackson, Mofat, Pitkin, Rio
Blanco, Routt and Summit counties plus the City of Glenwood Springs and the Town of Carbon‐
dale.
RE‐ESTABLISHMENT OF NORTHWEST LOAN FUND
NWCCOG has coordinated and submitted a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) appli‐
cation to re‐capitalize the Northwest Loan Fund (NLF). The NLF provides business assistance loans
to businesses that will create and retain jobs at a ratio of 1 job per $20,000 loaned with 51% of the
jobs filled by low to moderate income individuals. Loans range from $5,000 to $100,000 (larger as
warranted).

TOV/CSE DRAFT Minutes: August 7, 2013 Page 2 of 8
1. Administrative Items
o Approval of the Minutes of the CSE Meeting of July 3, 2013
Motion to approve the Minutes of the meeting of August 7, 2013, as
presented. M/S/P: Kundolf//Davis/Unanimous
o Review Financial Status: Currently there is $32,721 remaining in the CSE
budget. No issues were raised.
o As directed by the Town Manager’s Office, $5,000 to be allocated to cover the
outsourcing contracted by the IT Department, as needed to finish the
programming for on-line permit. This item was removed, as the invoice has
already been paid.
o Navas also noted that, under consideration for funding, is $2,500 for the NORAM
Cup by Ski/Snowboard School Vail, as well as a possible increase in funding for
Vail HoliDaze, due to Vail Resorts not funding the event in 2013.
o Approve dates for Snow Daze: December 9-15, changed from the originally
approved dates of December 4-8. A vote of approval is required.
Motion to approve revised dates for Snow Daze to December 9-15, as
presented. M/S/P: Chapin / Kundolf / Unanimous
2. Event Liaison Update to the CSE: This presentation, which was included in the
packets, was limited to Q&A. Hefferren noted that Vail Farmer’s Market and Art Show had
revised all marketing materials to reflect the extended closing date. She added that
continues to meet with August, September and October event producers as their events
near.
3. CSE Strategic Plan: Board discussed and approved strategic plan as presented by
Adam Sutner at the July 3rd CSE meeting. The final recommendation will be incorporated
into the structure of the existing CSE Strategic Plan by Sybill Navas for adoption at the
September CSE meeting. Chapin suggested approving the plan as is. Kerstiens asked
the board to revisit a comment made by James Deighan regarding funding continually
versus diminishing allocations and/or for a limited block of years. He asked if CSE needs
guidance from Town Council. Kundolf shared the Farmer’s Market as a good example of
consistent level of funding from the CSE, which brings sales tax to town. Some are
seeded, others are consistently funded annually.
Navas noted that the Lacrosse Shootout is an example of multiple-year diminishing
funding, subject to budget approval each year. Events are grouped into those able to
ratchet down, those which grow into sustained funding with the baseline investment going
further based on the growth of the event. Navas used GoPro Mountain Games as an
example. The board agreed to look at each event on its own merits as experience has
shown that most events won’t stay unless without some funding.
Bank stated Council wants CSE to wind events down, but CSE doesn’t want to lose
events based on not funding them. Cassidy said it makes it much easier to get
sponsorship with funding as the sponsors see the money behind it. Davis confirmed
currently there is no concrete plan on how to gauge differential of growth versus
sustained funding. Davis suggests clarifying this prior to 2014 RFP stating that it is the
CSE’s job utilizing the ranking system as a filter. McDonald conveyed that Vail Town
Council goes through the same challenge and recently created new categories to assist in
budgeting.
8/20/2013
TOV/CSE DRAFT Minutes: August 7, 2013 Page 3 of 8
Navas will edit the strategic plan to address the ever recurring issue of whether to provide
diminishing seed funding vs. consistent and/or reduced funding and will bring back the
revised document to the CSE board on September 4, 2013 for approval. The new event
activation requirement will be woven in. It will also be noted that activation comes with
additional cost to existing events and should be accounted for in RFP application.
Motion to approve Strategic Plan, as presented.
M/S/P: Chapin/Kundolf/Unanimous
4. RFP for 2014: Review document for posting, and confirm the proposed schedule for
reviewing the funding applications and determining the allocations. Navas presented the
draft RFP, speaking directly to the highlighted areas. The CSE was asked if they have
any concerns or questions which were not addressed. Navas announced she plans to
post the 2014 RFP by the middle of next week, August 14, 2014, after any suggested
revisions are incorporated. McDonald stated that the RFP is very tactically based and
requests Navas add in the addendum line to reference the CSE strategic plan once it is
approved.
Lionshead Merchants Association representative Kit Williams requested a copy of the
strategic plan and the RFP when complete. Bank offered to email it to them and an email
was shared.
Motion to approve 2014 RFP with revisions, as presented.
M/S/David/Bank/Unanimous
5. NORAM Cup Funding $2500 Request from Ski/Snowboard Club Vail for December 15-
20, 2013: Normally this event is held in February, but has been rescheduled to December
due to the Olympics in 2014. The CSE did award $2,000 in support of the event that was
held January 31- February 5, 2013. (@ 9:10- 5 minutes).
Motion to approve $2500 funding request to NORAM Cup, as presented.
M/S/P: Davis/Chapin/Unanimous
6. Vail Holidaze: Budget Overview and Funding Issues- Davey Ratchford, Brooke Macke
from Vail Resorts; James Deighan, Highline
Ratchford began by stating that Vail Resorts has determined that their event strategy is to
drive destination business in need times and that they have therefor determined to
support 3 “official” events in the upcoming ski season; including Snow Daze, Burton US
Open Snowboarding and Spring Back to Vail. Vail Holidaze funding will be redirected to
the Burton event for marketing. He stated that they typical budget for Vail Holidaze was
approximately $200K, with only $50K coming from the CSE.
McDonald noted that the Holidaze week traditionally receives the highest NPS of the
year, which is in part fostered by the spectacular skating shows. She added that it will be
difficult and more expensive to secure performers in this Olympic year. Deighan remarked
that we have set the expectations of our guests very high with “best lifestyle events in the
world,” including Holidaze and the season framing bookends of Snow Daze and Spring
Back to Vail. Bank observed that Holidaze and Snow Daze have been historically lumped
together, but should be reviewed independently. Deighan again stressed that they will not
bear the brunt of losing dollars on an event into the future and added that Highline may
8/20/2013
TOV/CSE DRAFT Minutes: August 7, 2013 Page 4 of 8
not move ahead with New Year’s Eve, which has received a $10K allocation from the
CSE, depending on the budget.
Several possible funding reallocations between Snow Daze and Holidaze were
discussed, but without a cost proposal for Holidaze, the CSE did not feel they were
equipped to make an informed decision. Highline will come back in September with a
palate of two or three proposals to choose from.
7. Vail America Days Recap and Community Input: James Deighan stated “Mission
accomplished.” Vail put on the best Fourth in the world,” adding that Highline brought a
professional approach to both the event, and the parade. Floats were of great relevance,
many highlighting the theme of “Vail’s 50th” and were well decorated and well received.
The flow was steady and a newfound professional approach helped immensely. Although
the weekend of ambient entertainment was not as well attended as hoped, Vail America
Days offered a classy space and place for the Vail guests to gather in the heart of town
and offer a reason to stay, not only on the Fourth, but encouraged them to come back
throughout the entire weekend. Estimated attendance was 55,000+, based on photos,
crowd estimates, vendor feedback and food/beverage sales.
Deighan noted the following areas for improvement:
Increased lead time will offer more potential to secure sponsorships, but we need
to recognize that the event is still perceived as a “local” event.
Stating that “Highline was the only entity in the Town of Vail that lost money on the
4th of July”, they cannot produce the event next year unless the event is fully
funded. The estimated “gap” exceeds $50,000, without including the fireworks,
which were already funded from last year’s hold over contract.
CSE members were unanimous in their agreement that the three full days of
entertainment were too much, but that the full day of entertainment on the Fourth was
successful in keeping people in the villages for the whole day. Cassidy remarked that the
hoped for extended stays “did not happen.” Kundolf expressed that the Pancake
Breakfast at the Chapel was a “big thing!” and could be expanded upon. McDonald stated
the this is our #1 event, and that we all need to continue to work together closely, as the
Town of Vail is not a sponsor but “owns the event.”
Public comments from Jon Boord, Solaris Plaza Manager, who stated that he represents
Solaris management, owners and tenants, and the commercial entities that are within the
Plaza. Boord stated the following:
Fireworks were appropriate use of sound & light and there were no negative
comments from Solaris tenants.
4 days was “too much noise,” noting that the attendance got smaller and smaller
over the weekend. There were multiple complaints from owners and tenants.
Sponsor conflicts: Placement within the plaza of competing restaurants who were
grilling directly in front of Bol’s patio, as well as advertisement and banner
placements from direct competitors.
The plaza is showing a lot of “wear and tear,” and sustained a fair bit of damage
over the weekend. People were standing on every surface and climbing into the
“fire pit,” damaging the interior. He noted that the security personnel seemed to be
8/20/2013
TOV/CSE DRAFT Minutes: August 7, 2013 Page 5 of 8
tasked only with protecting the alcohol barrier and that they should be more
proactive in monitoring behavior that causes actual damage.
Expressing that there were some “bumps” in the communication with Highline, they
did not know what to expect. They feel a need to know in advance what is going to
be set-up.
Commenting on the over-use of the plaza, he noted that their competitors use as
advertisement, “Don’t buy there, it’s a circus!”
Boord closed by stating that Solaris would like to reserve July 4th as one of their “15 days”
next year and produce the event themselves in a manner compatible with their own
interests.
Chapin remarked that Solaris was advertised as the “new downtown, where it’s
happening” and that we need to recognize that damages occur in public spaces. He
commended Boord for coming with these complaints and stated that the CSE will address
where viable, as they seem to be. Chapin also asked if there had been complaints from
the commercial tenants. Boord replied, “No.”
Navas stated she has received comments with negative feedback on fireworks. Deighan
said if Vail is going to use the same type of fireworks, he recommends launching them
from a new location.
Deighan stated that Highline has little or no issue with suggested revisions now presented
by Boord/Solaris today; however stated the way it was delivered during the event was not
effective and put Highline out 2.5 hours during the event. He requested that if issues
between arise between a producer and the venue, they should be addressed directly to
the Town of Vail. Deighan concluded Highline welcomes feedback and leads the event
with passion.
8. Event Recaps
FEAST! Vail James Deighan, Highline
Deighan highlighted recap. He looks forward to the luxury of a year to plan 2014
with regards to sponsorship, awareness, media cache. Highline will continue to
set the bar high. Deighan has never seen such positive feedback on an event in
the history in Highline. The brand association and quality of the event was
spectacular; lack of time was the culprit.
Highlights include:
Budget: 33K loss + 20K agency fee loss
Attendance 950 participating
Weather was tremendous benefit
Deighan: Resounding opinion was laid a great foundation. Future of event
can be wonderful for town of Vail
Navas recalled opening night sold out and asked if this impacted further
participation. Deighan responded it was a comfortable setting, versus too
crowded and wanted to balance the number of people and flow. Ticket sold were
raised from ~250 to 300. In retrospect Deighan would raise the availability a little
more. There is talk of extending to upper balcony level, which could double the

number. Merchants of Solaris were happy to participate in 2013.The first year,
has to be a marketing initiative and event may take several years to hit stride.
There were very different opinions of how to market the event between VLMD
and Highline. VLMD chose 2 to 3 weeks out. Highline intends to extend this to
year round. Kundolf suggests hitting marketing spots over the year – Christmas,
President’s Day, and Spring Back to Vail. The budget for 2014 was discussed
while acknowledging the $33K loss. Deighan stated he is not certain that $85K
will be enough, more likely an additional $50K will be required, and added that
they cannot continue to produce events that are underfunded. There was also a
discussion of an umbrella brand of food and confirmation of logo approval with
Taste of Vail. Deighan advised it had been researched thoroughly and was crowd
sourced. There was a discussion of raising the ticket price for opening night.
Kundolf recommended a 2nd venue, noting Arrabelle- to which Deighan responds
that it is possible, but it will increase budget.
Cassidy: From Sonnenalp perspective, does not agree to begin marketing just 2-
3 weeks out, as it makes it difficult to market hotel packages and sell tickets.
Deighan agrees and may tackle a different marketing initiative & umbrella
culinary concept, and bring in high profile media partner. Cassidy suggests a
retail media sponsor, tying in the Veterans and half marathon components.
Whitewater Kayak Demos: Sean Glackin, Alpine Quest Sports
For the record, Navas stated that the correct name of the event is Vail
Whitewater Race Series. Board comments included “exceeded expectations”
from Davis and “we look forward to next year” from Bank. Kundolf would like to
see sponsors and partners for 2014. Glackin advised he does not have an event
producer on staff and if event continues to grow, he’ll need to increase staff and
sponsorships. Hefferren stated she advised Glackin on marketing, drawing up a
list of options. Not all were executed in 2013 due to budget and time; however
will be considered for 2014. If want to take to scale similar to GoPro Mountain
Games, the budget would be ~ 5x what it is currently.
GoPro Mountain Games: Scott Bluhm, Vail Valley Foundation (VVF)
Bluhm highlighted the stakeholder’s report and reported only seeing an upside
with GoPro as a sponsor. Strengths included expanded TV coverage, from 1
hour to three hours. VVF is continues to consider music festival-feel for daytime.
There was a discussion of returning the climbing wall to Mountain Plaza, which is
difficult and expensive due to the ground not being level. There is discussion of
using Ford Amphitheater for musical events which would help to build a physical
connection with the climbing will in its current athletic field location. VVF and
GoPro are currently discussing creating made-for-TV events being considered for
future.
Paul Abling presented highlights on media/survey numbers. Brand alignment is
spot on as 62% of this year’s attendees have attended 5+ years past. 2014 focus
will be placed on out of state and international visitation. Different athlete
strategies are being investigated to build attendance and exposure. This was the
first time in Summer Games history that a sponsor (GoPro) brought in its own
FAM group with digital PR force. Future growth is in using mobile apps to engage

with the merchants. While participation in the scavenger hunt was moderate,
VVF did learn how participants flowed through events through pings and will use
this in the future footprint planning.
Board comments included: Kerstiens “Outstanding.” Cassidy “The most fun was
being a participant and a spectator. Social media campaign was awesome. Good
for teenagers.” Kundolf inquired about a Lionshead venue, suggesting yoga or a
kids’ Slackline. Bluhm responded it’s always a consideration and noted cost of
additional venue. VVF does have several items which are currently being
considered for Lionshead placement in 2014. McDonald asked if sponsors were
happy being located in one area versus spread out. Bluhm responded, “Yes, the
sponsors want to be in the village.”
2014 dates have been set as June 5-8, 2014.
Vail Rocks!: Shannon Foley Henn, Love, Hope, Strength Foundation
Henn was unable to attend due to a previously scheduled conflict. CSE members
expressed that the event was stronger this year, and that growing the event was
an important part of their interest in continuing to fund it. All felt that the intimacy
of the hike could be maintained if the growth was managed carefully and
creatively.
Vail Arts Festival: Laurie Asmussen, Eagle Valley Events
Describing the event as “ambient,” Asmussen admitted that the rain did impact
the attendance somewhat, but that sales were strong. She described CSE
suggestions which had been integrated into the 2013 event; including a local jury,
ground entertainment and music. The jury was a success. She wants to work on
the right placement of the entertainment and music, so as to enhance merchants
versus feeling “in the way.” The most positive result, in Asmussen’s opinion, was
that a group of Lionshead merchants asked her how to grow the event.
According to a survey, guests want more walk-around food. Asmussen will work
with merchants to make this happen for 2014.
Board comments: Kundolf asked about the demographics presented as they
appeared skewed. Asmussen stated that the Arts Festival typically doesn’t draw
guests to town, but serves as an ambient event.
Kerstiens asked if the CSE board would be able to get Mtrip data of event
weekends prior to recaps. McDonald advised that the timing of CSE meeting is
not in alignment with the Mtrip reports. The full annual Mtrip report will be
received in February of 2014. CSE is able to use the 2012 report as a
benchmark.

9. Update on USA Pro Challenge (USAPC): Adam Lueck, Vail Valley Foundation
Lueck began by comparing the USAPC with the Tour of California, as the two most
important events in cycling in North America, and followed by sharing a news update with
8/20/2013
TOV/CSE DRAFT Minutes: August 7, 2013 Page 8 of 8
the biggest tour info of the year: 2013 Tour de France winner, Chris Froome, and the
complete US Sky Team are confirmed coming to US Pro Challenge. Many other
international and domestic teams are confirmed.
Lueck reviewed the presentation included in the packets, and stated that the Beaver
Creek and Vail stages are the most important of the race. He stated that the Vail Time
Trial is very important for Vail, as TV is the biggest selling point for the event, and Vail will
be featured throughout the day- rather than just with a 10 minute start and/or finish
coverage. Beyond bringing all the people into town, Vail benefits from a 2-hour
“commercial” on NBC sports. The event will be shown on NBC Sports Network and NBC.
There are multiple activation activities in Vail including the Scavenger Hunt, Ice Cream
Après at Mountain Plaza and Chromatic Challenge. The race city/expo has been
relocated from the top of the parking structure down into Village Center on Meadow Drive.
Bus service will be the same as in 2011 Pro Challenge. It will not be interrupted on the
East Vail route, but will be rerouted onto I-70. The Golf Course and Gold Peak service will
be interrupted from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Bank requested thorough communication to
locals on bus routing.
10. New Business and Community Input
Kit Williams, representing the Lionshead Merchants Association, is working with
Colorado Grand to help support the event. Williams asked the CSE board to
consider funding of $4K to increase lodging and length of event; for a cocktail
party on Monday before the events starts, and to create a coupon book for
participants (250 participants expected).
Navas interrupted Williams to clarify that the CSE board has the option to decide
if they want to review this topic in September, as a funding request was not listed
as part of the agenda for this meeting. She added that several of his requests
could be addressed as part of the Special Event permit review. Kundolf
requested Navas place the item on agenda for September review. Williams will
send a formal proposal to Navas.
Motion to adjourn at 11:38 a.m.

Vail Town Council Chambers
8/20/2013
To: Vail Town Council
From: Ron Braden, IT Director
Date: 8-20-13
Subject: 4G Cellular / Wi Fi Update
I. BACKGROUND
In accordance with the executed contract between the Town of Vail and Crown Castle,
we are presenting Council with the proposed locations and equipment to be used for the
planned cellular 4G DAS / Wi Fi network.
Attached are the locations for the 23 DAS nodes. There are only 5 new nodes
proposed … the remaining 18 will be at already existing street light / Wi Fi locations.
These locations are precise based on the extensive RF studies done by Crown Castle
and the carriers ( Verizon and AT&T ) to obtain the signal coverage needed. While we
are able to move the location of a given node a few feet in any direction, any major
deviation in location will require the entire system to be re-designed.
Crown has already met with the Community Development and Public Works
Departments regarding the project, as they ( Crown Castle ) will be required to adhere
to all design and installation requirements in which all other public utilities have to meet
being in Town of Vail right of way. This will include a standard installation baseline for
the equipment, color of nodes / cabinet, engineered power, and CDOT right of way
permits. Construction is set to begin after Labor Day with the intent of having the
Village and Lionshead core areas up and running no later than November 15th.
Also attached are mock ups of what the node sites will look like based upon existing
installations in Denver and Cherry Hills. The difference being, we will have Wi Fi gear
and an equipment cabinet. Since we will have fiber optics to all 23 cellular DAS nodes,
we are installing Wi Fi at these locations as well. Aspen Wireless will be bringing in new
Wi Fi technology to replace / augment the existing SkyPilot Wi Fi equipment installed by
CenturyLink in 2006.

Loading, Codes, and Materials
Some equipment wind areas have been applied at higher elevations than the
items will be installed. This procedure has conservatively been used to
account for expected variations in the equipment elevations at other (Network
Node) sites.
Luminaire size and shape may vary. No luminaire loading will exceed that for
the size and shape indicated above.
Not all indicated equipment will be locatetd at each network node. The
analysis conservatively applies the loading to each node to ensure that the
calculated base reactions and pole loading will not be exceeded.

To: Town Council
From: Sales Tax Division
Date: August 15, 2013
Subject: Rental by Owner
I. Summary
This memo is in response to Council’s request for an update on sales tax collection efforts in
place for properties rented by owners through the internet and other methods. Subsequent
sections of this memo describe how short-term rentals are taxed and the process we follow to
assure collection from this category.
Although some rental by owner situations will always go undetected, we believe the Town of
Vail has a good process in place to minimize those situations. We currently collect tax from 200
individual accounts identified as rental by owner. For January through June 2013, collections
from these accounts totaled $335,826 or 7.1% of the total lodging category. Growth in sales tax
from rental by owner of 12% year over year outpaced the remainder of the lodging category
which was up 10% from the prior year.
II. Taxability
All short-term rentals are taxable regardless of ownership, type of accommodation, or
frequency of rental. Short-term is defined in the Vail Town Code as less than 30 consecutive
days. Ownership of the property may be by a corporation, partnership, individual or other entity.
Although the tax applies to property within the town, the owner may be located out of town. The
property being rented may be a single family residence, condominium, hotel room, meeting
room, locker or other tangible personal property. All are taxable.
Applicable taxes include: Town of Vail 4.0%; Colorado 2.9%; Eagle County 1.5%; and Vail Local
Marketing District 1.4%.
It is the responsibility of the property owner to collect and remit tax either directly or through a
property management company or tax processing company. The owner is responsible to remit
the required tax even if he or she fails to collect it from the renter.
Taxpayers who fail to remit in a timely manner are subject to the same penalty (the greater of
10% of tax due or $15) and interest (1% per month) as any other delinquent taxpayer.
Continued delinquency could result in summons to court, garnishment of bank accounts, and/or
a lien placed against the property. All taxable transactions, including rental by owner, are
subject to audit.

III. Collection Efforts
We have had a program in place for over twelve years to specifically address collection of tax
on rentals by owner. One thing we learned from the program several years ago was that
individuals renting their property short-term and/or only occasionally were not always aware of
the requirement to pay sales tax or confused it with IRS requirements which exempt certain
rentals from income tax. As a result, we periodically publish notices in the Vail Daily with a
reminder that all short-term rentals are taxable and information on how to proceed. These
notices are timed to coincide with holidays when out-of-town owners who may not be familiar
with our taxes are likely to be here. Tax rates and other requirements are also posted on the
Town of Vail website. Finally, Town staff provides prompt response to phone call and e-mail
questions from taxpayers and personal assistance in filing tax returns.
To encourage compliance, we try to make the remittance process easy. For individual rental
units, there is no need to get a business license or pay a business license fee – only a free
sales tax license is required for our tracking and recording purposes. Forms are available on-
line or in person and sales tax personnel will help with setting up new accounts. To make the
payment process even easier in the future, the final component of our new sales tax software
will allow on-line reporting and payment.
We are also proactive in identifying and/or following up on cases of potential non-compliance.
Although earlier efforts consisted primarily of searching on-line and in newspapers for short-
term rental properties, recently our focus has been on researching properties identified by other
businesses and members of the public. Once a property has been identified as a potential
short-term rental, staff reviews our sales tax records to see if we are already receiving tax
returns for that property. Because tax returns are not necessarily linked to a physical address
and the tax may be remitted by a property management company, accountant or tax service, we
are not always able to match tax returns to the property in question. Our next step is to
determine contact information for the property owner who is responsible for paying the tax. This
information is not always readily available and may involve researching county property records
among other sources. When approaching the property owner, staff always acknowledges we
have not been able to identify a sales tax license or tax payments associated with a potential
rental property and ask for their help.
In a few cases, we are not able to contact the owner. When we do, the outcome generally falls
into three categories: the tax is being paid but we did not connect the property with the payment;
there is no tax due because the property is advertised, but there have been no rentals to date or
because the rental is long-term; or there is a taxable rental by owner situation and we collect the
tax.
We have also had success with property owners contacting us directly or as a result of
newspaper articles or conversations with other short-term renters and from working with the
state sales tax audit department.

I. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail 14th annual neighborhood picnics were held on July 23 at Donovan
Park and on Aug. 13 at Bighorn Park. The picnics were well attended and are used as a
community outreach measure to connect with residents and guests and to collect
comments and suggestions regarding community issues. The following written
comments were submitted by picnic attendees and are currently being reviewed by
staff.
II. COMMENTS COLLECTED FROM DONOVAN PARK PICNIC, JULY 23

8/20/2013
Town of Vail Page 2
• No one uses their indicator, especially in circles (total chaos)
• Vegetarian burger option at next lunch (Bighorn) – thank you!
• No cell phone personal usage by TOV employees while on the clock
• Don’t try to build on every viable green spot in TOV (F.P. structures specifically)
• Solaris “parking” sign on median is totally misleading
• Thanks for lunch!!
• Add info kiosk or connectivity to Lionshead Welcome Center from transit stop at
top

• Go forward with golf club house remodel
• Good idea for helipad on top of bank
• Dinner, dancing with wine? Thank you for nice lunch!
• Full time wildland fire jobs, please and thank you!
III. COMMENTS COLLECTED FROM BIGHORN PARK, AUG. 13
• Please increase enforcement of noise ordinance on I-70! It seems enforcement
has decreased in past couple of years, especially on steep section from mm 180
to 182
• Get noise activated cameras and issue fines
• Stock BH pond for kids to fish
• Make Gore Creek catch and release in Vail (like Silverthorne)
• Need more speed limit signs on Frontage Road from Ford Park to VMS
• Tennis courts Booth Creek – what a disgrace! Now locked. Unkept. Not Vail
image
• No to skateboard park in Booth Creek
• Consider platform tennis for replacement of Booth Creek tennis courts if tennis
courts are not going to be kept up. Pickle ball fun too!
• Please get more bus service to East Vail – at least on the half hour. We
sometimes decide not to dine or shop in the village because of only hourly
service. There is more population here now
• Request CDOT put up sound barriers on I-70. MM182 most important
• Safety Golf Course – ball flight study questionable – driving range issue NOT 19th
fairway
• Events at golf course – please advertise and inform when special
events/weddings are scheduled. Vandalism in parking lot – parking violations
• Booth Creek townhomes gifted wetlands and tennis courts to Town with
understanding that they would be maintained. Now padlocked? Why? Why not
maintained? What is going to happen?
• Amphitheater and bus stops bigger. Clean/empty trash cans more often
8/20/2013
Town of Vail Page 3
• Question # of skiers on mountain. Does forest service limit? If so, what # and
how do they control?
• Fear of current sense of greed. Has greed gotten out of control?
• Please bring back the free gondola on Fridays and or on weekends after 3pm
• One special ski run for special needs people or people over 65
• Replace Bridge Rd. bridge with kayak friendly/raft friendly bridge. East Vail has
some great moderate creeking and the bridges are by far most dangerous
element of Gore Creek.
• Take out bladders in creek at International Bridge and replace with rocks similar
to rocks at Solaris and/or amphitheater. Bladders look like trash in creek – ugly.
• East Vail – the best place to live, work and play!
• Get the clock tower working
• Make Booth Creek tennis courts a top priority
• Any chance of a berm in front of Booth Creek area?
• Put an enclosed bus stop at E. end of Spruce Way bus stop
