PRESENTER(S): Kim Langmaid, Kristen Bertuglia
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that the Vail Town Council
listen to the presentation and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND: Actively Green 2015 is an innovative community-driven program
that will transform the Vail Valley into a globally-recognized sustainable
destination. A true collaboration, Actively Green is a partnership between the
globally recognized nonprofit Sustainable Travel International, the Walking
Mountains Science Center, the Town of Vail and the Vail Valley Foundation.
The objectives of this ambitious first-of-its kind effort are to:
1) Educate and Certify at least 100 businesses in the community on a set of
internationally-recognized sustainability best practices
2) Benchmark and Report on data across key performance indicators, helping
destination decision-makers to identify successes and opportunities
3) Tell a compelling Sustainability Success Story through campaigns that touch
visitors and community members alike
The projected outcome? A generation-spanning legacy — one which will ensure
the destination inspires residents and engages visitors, while remaining vibrant
and resource-rich for the long term.
The Actively Green 2015 initiative will support the integration, adoption, and 4/15/2014
certification of sustainability best practices for at least 100 businesses across the
Vail Valley. Businesses from any sector are eligible to participate, from
accommodations and tour operator to restaurants and retail companies. Patrons
and guests are encouraged to think about being Actively Green in 2015 when
planning their World Championships Experience.
How will we accomplish our objectives?
1) Educate and Certify
- A collection of ready-to-use operational tools and resources designed to
drive efficiency for businesses across the Vail Valley
- Training sessions and workshops dedicated to building local capacity on
the implementation of best practices
- A new Actively Green Eco-Label, designed with the Vail Valley in mind.
Participating businesses can earn the label and use it with pride, by demonstrating
adherence to a set of 23 baseline criteria
- Support participation in global eco-certification programs like the
Sustainable Tourism Education Program (STEP), designed for businesses looking
to achieve higher levels of recognition
2) Benchmark and Report
- A brand-new customized online Sustainability Management System,
designed for Vail Valley businesses to measure and manage sustainability impacts
- An opportunity for the destination to manage its performance at scale,
through a community dashboard, regular progress reports and a birds-eye view of
sustainability opportunities and challenges
- Performance will be tracked across key sustainability indicators such as
energy and water usage and conservation, waste generation and recycling, and
volunteerism
We envision the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships as a catalyst of innovation
and collaboration that enhances and celebrates our mountain environment for
generations to come.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Vail Town Council continue
to support the Actively Green 2015 program.
4. ITEM/TOPIC: Zero Hero - Summer Waste Diversion Program at the Vail
Farmers' Market (15 min)
PRESENTER(S): Kim Langmaid, Melissa Kirr, Kristen Bertuglia
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that the Vail Town Council
listen to the presentation and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND: As part of the effort to achieve the adopted waste
diversion goals, the Town requires that special events in Vail participate in the
Celebrate Green! special events program, which includes recycling and
composting requirements. To facilitate the Zero Waste events in the Vail, the Town
partners with Walking Mountains Science Center to accomplish the following
objectives:
- 75% waste diversion or greater
- Public education associated with zero waste efforts including composting,
recycling, and source reduction
- Vendor and event producer education including eco-friendly purchasing, and
proper composting/recycling
- Public visibility/interface that demonstrates a commitment to sustainability in the 4/15/2014
Town of Vail through waste diversion
- Growing future leaders in sustainability through Vail Special Events
In 2013 the Town of Vail, Walking Mountains Science Center, and Colorado
Mountain College collaborated on the Zero Waste program at the Vail Farmers'
Market. Through this partnership, Walking Mountains Science Center recruits,
trains, and develops a team of young people, ages 18 and up, to support the
Farmers' Market Zero Waste events and other environmental initiatives.
Walking Mountains Science Center’s Celebrate Green! environmental internship
elevates a sense of civic leadership while building the capacity to support the
Town of Vail’s events and sense of community pride. Interns work two days per
week and all supervision, training, mentoring, and support is provided by Walking
Mountains Science Center. On Sundays the team of interns create a vibrant, fun,
positive and interactive presence in the Town of Vail while staffing the Town’s Zero
Hero recycling stations and providing education and outreach to Market guests,
residents and vendors. On Thursdays the team of interns refine their education
and outreach strategies, compile the results of surveys and feedback, train event
volunteers, and support the Town of Vail with other environmental stewardship
initiatives as needed.
The Celebrate Green! environmental internship model is an economically efficient
way to partner with the Town of Vail while supporting the Town in reaching its
goals to: grow a balanced community, improve the quality of experience, and
develop future leadership and building the capacity of the local economy including
the locally-based Walking Mountains Science Center.
Walking Mountains is contracted to conduct the Zero Hero Program at the Vail
Farmers' Markets in 2014.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Vail Town Council continue
to support to Zero Hero Summer Program.

Jonathan Spence gave a presentation per the staff memorandum.
Don Eggers, representing the applicant, made himself available for any questions.
Commissioner Rediker inquired as to other improvements that may be coming in the future and why those
components were not coming forward in conjunction with this application.
Don Eggers explained that it was largely owner driven as the owners are in different countries. The owner
of the top two condominiums would like to get started this year, which is why this application is moving
forward.
Warren Campbell, Chief of Planning, explained that there was also a difference in process for the various
forth coming applications in that the deck expansions and the building re-skin will not require Commission
review as currently understood.
Commissioner Rediker inquired about the condition regarding the replace of the pedestrian street lights with
lights which match the Town of Vail uniform street lights.
Commissioner Cleveland asked how the public benefit of replacing the pedestrian street lights would be
attributed to Phase III of the Vail Village Inn.

ITEM/TOPIC: Eagle River Water & Sanitation District (ERWSD) Wastewater Master Plan
Update
PRESENTER(S): Diane Johnson, Siri Roman, Linn Brooks, ERWSD

ERWSD Wastewater Master Plan Memorandum
4/15/2014
Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor Andy Daly and Vail Town Council
From: Siri Roman, Wastewater Manager
Diane Johnson, Communications and Public Affairs Manager
Date: April 15, 2014
Re: Eagle River Water & Sanitation District W astewater Master Plan Update
Summary: Siri Roman will provide an update about the ERWSD Wastewater Master Plan which Vail
Town Council heard in full at its January 15, 2013, meeting. She will briefly review current operations,
new wastewater effluent regulations enacted by the Colorado Water Quality Control Division (WQCD) and
the implications of the regulations – including benefits to stream health and financial impacts. The
ERWSD Board of Directors has placed two measures on the May ballot related to funding the required
wastewater improvements at the lowest possible financing cost. No action is requested from the Council.
Background: Eagle River Water and Sanitation District treats wastewater from East Vail to Cordillera,
including Minturn, at three treatment facilities. The facilities are located in Vail, Avon, and west Edwards
and are regulated by effluent discharge permits provided by the Colorado WQCD. In 2012, the WQCD
adopted more stringent nutrient regulations (Regulation 85 and Regulation 31) that will impact the
operations of the facilities. The new regulations will require that the plants discharge less phosphorus and
nitrogen (nutrients) to Gore Creek and the Eagle River. The WQCD will be working with ERWSD on a
compliance schedule to m eet the new regulations. However, it is possible that all three plants could have
to comply with the new regulations as early as 2020, which would require significant capital improvements
at each facility by that date.
In 2012, the District completed an update to its existing Wastewater Master Plan in order to determine a
preferred capital improvement plan and schedule that would meet the new regulations and future growth
through 2025. Eight alternatives were evaluated on cost, water rights issues, land av ailability, staffing,
maintenance, sustainability, permitting, layout, scheduling, and other criteria. The preferred alternative
addresses necessary increased capacity at the facilities to meet future growth, upgrades the facilities to
meet anticipatory regulatory limits, and consolidates the treatment of solids at the Edwards facility. Full
implementation of the wastewater master plan is projected to cost $95 million through 2030.
Given the significant capital improvements required, ERWSD secured funds to implement Phase 1 of the
capital plan. The District issued $28 million in revenue bonds in Dec. 2012 which will affect monthly
service rates beginning in 2015. The monthly debt service rate associated with the 2012 bonds will be
about $6 per single family equivalent (a generic residential unit, up to 3,000 square feet).
The next phase of the plan will cost approximately $23 million; the debt can be funded by issuing revenue
bonds based on sewer fees (which does not require voter approval), or by issuing general obligation (GO)
bonds, which does require voter approval. The Board is pursuing the latter as it would result in the lowest
possible interest rates, saving at least $1.8 million in interest costs. The new rate or property tax would
become effective in 2017 – when an existing District property tax will sunset.
With the release of fewer nutrients to Gore Creek and the Eagle River, the new regulations and
associated capital improvements will benefit the biological health of the streams. Downstream drinking
water facilities will also benefit due to improved source water.

ERWSD is completing the design of Phase 1 of the Capital Improvement Plan; the solids handling
improvement project at the Edwards Treatment Facility. The permitting process with the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is underway, and approval was received by
Eagle County through its 1041 process. Construction is slated to begin in this summer.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: April 15, 2014
ITEM/TOPIC: Update on the Actively Green 2015 sustainable business training program.
PRESENTER(S): Kim Langmaid, Kristen Bertuglia
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that the Vail Town Council listen to the
presentation and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND: Actively Green 2015 is an innovative community-driven program that will
transform the Vail Valley into a globally-recognized sustainable destination. A true
collaboration, Actively Green is a partnership between the globally recognized nonprofit
Sustainable Travel International, the Walking Mountains Science Center, the Town of Vail and
the Vail Valley Foundation.
The objectives of this ambitious first-of-its kind effort are to:
1) Educate and Certify at least 100 businesses in the community on a set of internationally-
recognized sustainability best practices
2) Benchmark and Report on data across key performance indicators, helping destination
decision-makers to identify successes and opportunities
3) Tell a compelling Sustainability Success Story through campaigns that touch visitors and
community members alike
The projected outcome? A generation-spanning legacy — one which will ensure the
destination inspires residents and engages visitors, while remaining vibrant and resource-rich
for the long term.
The Actively Green 2015 initiative will support the integration, adoption, and certification of
sustainability best practices for at least 100 businesses across the Vail Valley. Businesses
from any sector are eligible to participate, from accommodations and tour operator to
restaurants and retail companies. Patrons and guests are encouraged to think about being
Actively Green in 2015 when planning their World Championships Experience.
How will we accomplish our objectives?
1) Educate and Certify
- A collection of ready-to-use operational tools and resources designed to drive
efficiency for businesses across the Vail Valley
- Training sessions and workshops dedicated to building local capacity on the
implementation of best practices
- A new Actively Green Eco-Label, designed with the Vail Valley in mind. Participating
businesses can earn the label and use it with pride, by demonstrating adherence to a set of 23
baseline criteria
- Support participation in global eco-certification programs like the Sustainable Tourism
Education Program (STEP), designed for businesses looking to achieve higher levels of
recognition 4/15/2014
2) Benchmark and Report
- A brand-new customized online Sustainability Management System, designed for Vail
Valley businesses to measure and manage sustainability impacts
- An opportunity for the destination to manage its performance at scale, through a
community dashboard, regular progress reports and a birds-eye view of sustainability
opportunities and challenges
- Performance will be tracked across key sustainability indicators such as energy and
water usage and conservation, waste generation and recycling, and volunteerism
We envision the 2015 Alpine World Ski Championships as a catalyst of innovation and
collaboration that enhances and celebrates our mountain environment for generations to
come.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Vail Town Council continue to support
the Actively Green 2015 program.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: April 15, 2014
ITEM/TOPIC: Zero Hero - Summer Waste Diversion Program at the Vail Farmers' Market
PRESENTER(S): Kim Langmaid, Melissa Kirr, Kristen Bertuglia
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Staff requests that the Vail Town Council listen to the
presentation and provide feedback.
BACKGROUND: As part of the effort to achieve the adopted waste diversion goals, the
Town requires that special events in Vail participate in the Celebrate Green! special events
program, which includes recycling and composting requirements. To facilitate the Zero Waste
events in the Vail, the Town partners with Walking Mountains Science Center to accomplish
the following objectives:
- 75% waste diversion or greater
- Public education associated with zero waste efforts including composting, recycling, and
source reduction
- Vendor and event producer education including eco-friendly purchasing, and proper
composting/recycling
- Public visibility/interface that demonstrates a commitment to sustainability in the Town of Vail
through waste diversion
- Growing future leaders in sustainability through Vail Special Events
In 2013 the Town of Vail, Walking Mountains Science Center, and Colorado Mountain College
collaborated on the Zero Waste program at the Vail Farmers' Market. Through this
partnership, Walking Mountains Science Center recruits, trains, and develops a team of young
people, ages 18 and up, to support the Farmers' Market Zero Waste events and other
environmental initiatives.
Walking Mountains Science Center’s Celebrate Green! environmental internship elevates a
sense of civic leadership while building the capacity to support the Town of Vail’s events and
sense of community pride. Interns work two days per week and all supervision, training,
mentoring, and support is provided by Walking Mountains Science Center. On Sundays the
team of interns create a vibrant, fun, positive and interactive presence in the Town of Vail
while staffing the Town’s Zero Hero recycling stations and providing education and outreach to
Market guests, residents and vendors. On Thursdays the team of interns refine their education
and outreach strategies, compile the results of surveys and feedback, train event volunteers,
and support the Town of Vail with other environmental stewardship initiatives as needed.
The Celebrate Green! environmental internship model is an economically efficient way to
partner with the Town of Vail while supporting the Town in reaching its goals to: grow a
balanced community, improve the quality of experience, and develop future leadership and
building the capacity of the local economy including the locally-based Walking Mountains
Science Center.
Walking Mountains is contracted to conduct the Zero Hero Program at the Vail Farmers'
Markets in 2014.
4/15/2014
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Vail Town Council continue to support
to Zero Hero Summer Program.

KEY DRIVERS OF VAIL’S ECONOMY
Private Redevelopment
Redeveloped properties have generated more
than $12.4M in sales tax since 2007
In 2013 redeveloped properties contributed
$2.3M or 10.5% of total sales tax
Over time, the mix of properties has changed
as five-year-old properties fall off and new
properties are added
Lodging from redeveloped properties is the
largest category generating half of the sales
tax from redeveloped properties

processing applications for medical marijuana dispensaries and prohibited the
operation of medical marijuana dispensaries.
•2012 - Constitutional Amendment 64 was passed allowing the retail sale of marijuana
for recreational use.

Colorado’s Marijuana Law
MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS
1.What types of retail marijuana establishments (i.e., retail stores, cultivation facilities,
product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities, etc.)?
2.Create a licensing structure different from the state licensing structure (i.e., more
restrictive). Adopt a local licensing structure? Operations fees? Additional tax?
3.Reconsider policy on medical marijuana centers? If so, allow for dual operations (co-
location of medical and retail marijuana businesses)?
4.Impacts on tourism, image and the Vail Brand? Role of community stakeholders in the
policy process (Vail Resorts, lodging/hospitality, CSE, VLMD, guests,etc.)

CSE Chair, Barry Davis, called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m.
1. Administrative Items (10 minutes)
a. Approval of the Minutes of the CSE Meeting of March 5, 2014
Motion to approve the Minutes of the CSE Meeting of March 5, 2014, as
presented.
M/S/P: Kundolf/Whitaker/Unanimous – The motion passed 7-0.
b. Review financial status. Navas stated the spreadsheets clearly show there is no
funding remaining for 2014 and the town is “on target” paying out to event
producers. The board agreed both were valuable documents and evidences how
the CSE has been able over the years to weed out non-or-low performers.
4/15/2014
CSE Minutes April 2, 2014 Page 2 of 5
c. Update on marketing efforts for summer events, provided by Laura Waniuk.
Navas recapped Spring Back to Vail which will play over two weekends this year,
with concerts on April 11 and 12 and following the Pond Skimming on April 20th.
A “Great Race” themed event will take place on Golden Peak on the 13th, and 3
days of expo at Mountain Plaza will take place on both weekends. Vail
Whitewater will begin the 6 week Tuesday evening kayak race series at the
International Bridge on May 14, followed by Feast! Vail over Memorial Day
weekend, for which all marketing materials have been approved. Registration for
the GoPro Games is up 30% over this time last year and will provide a new
event, The Bad Ass Dash- a family oriented obstacle run starting and finishing in
Lionshead. King of the Mountain has shown a higher level of design.
2. Funding Request Reconsideration: Living Well, John Stone- Forum for Optimum
Health- reformatted request for Tier IV Category funding allocation to the Vail Living
Well Summit from $30,000 to $10,000 (10 minutes). John Stone with Living Well said
their program was evolving and they recognize they haven’t touched as many as they
should. They want to concentrate on corporate wellness in an even bigger way and
plan to invite just 20 influential corporate executives for cutting edge sessions that will
occur in multiple venues. Thus, they are now asking to reduce their funding request
from $30,000 to $10,000. Gordon said he liked the corporate push and going after
truly influential individuals, while Andrews thought this didn’t necessarily align with the
CSE goal of “heads in beds.” Whitaker also questioned how this would affect
attendance. Stone said this initial 20 person event would then turn into more
corporate wellness retreats and annual meetings. Cassidy asked how many would
initially be invited and how were they being selected in order to get that top 20. Stone
said they’d be staying in Vail, so could really see what Vail is all about. Vail will be
show-cased. Bank said this is more like a private party and Vail taxpayers would not
support it, to which Davis somewhat agreed saying he couldn’t understand how this
would benefit Vail. Whitaker also agreed, saying it would not be sanctioned by the
town. Kundolf said it didn’t feel like an actual event and she did not see how growth
would occur. Andrews said he didn’t question the educational aspect of Living Well
but it does not fall in line with CSE guidelines. Bank said it was the opposite of
building business, to which Stone replied this could become the “Davos” of health
and well being. Navas questioned using public funding for something the public
could not attend.
Motion to rescind the $30,000 originally funded.
M/S/P: Bank/Whitaker/Bank and Whitaker voting in favor, all others opposed.
The motion failed by a vote of 2-5.
Stone suggested, under discussion, that they would consider opening one segment
of the forum to the general public.
Motion to rescind the original $30,000 allocation for Living Well, as
requested by Stone, and to award funding from the Tier IV: Life Long
Learning Category in the amount of $6,000 for the proposed event, with
the directive that at least one component be added that would be open
to the general public.
M/S/P: Andrews/Bank/Unanimous- The motion passed 7-0.

CSE Minutes April 2, 2014 Page 3 of 5
3. Event Recaps (10 Minutes)
a. Vertical Express: Can Do MS, Cathy Ethington. Cathy Ethington, with the
Jimmie Heuga organization and producer of the Vertical Express: Can Do MS
said the programs were based on Jimmie’s philosophies, ending with a final
memorial ski down. Attendance was at 200 participants, which ultimately raised
$42,000. Davis said it was well received and left a very positive impression.
Navas underscored it appealed
b. Freestyle NORAM Cup: Ski and Snowboard Club Vail, Euginnia Manseau. Ski
and Snowboard Club Vail, was introduced by Euginnia Manseau, who said the
event was free to kids and had great involvement in town, with the awards
ceremonies taking place in Solaris. The $2000 funding from CSE provided great
exposure for the town. Bank said he would like to see a little more marketing as
the quality of skiing was outstanding, but few people were aware that the
competition was going on. Andrews said it was great for lodging. When asked
about the date, Manseau said the FIS sets the date and calendar so the dates
aren’t theirs to choose. Next year’s event will be January 25, 2015, right before
the 2015 Alpine Ski Championships.
4. Upcoming Event Reports: Highline (10 minutes)
a. FEAST! Vail: Missy Johnson, representing, Highline reported general support
and involvement both from local restaurants, as well as chefs from Denver. The
first night will be a “small bites” tasting, including Colorado brews and distillers.
The event runs May 23-26, but to guarantee success, they’ve booked inside
venues. They’ll concentrate on lifestyle events and will partner with local lodges
on lodging packages. Andrews asked when marketing was coming to the
lodges. Johnson said it would come in various forms, including ticketing, posters,
rack cards, social media and the event program itself. Whitaker said it will launch
when the venues are signed. Cassidy said that the veterans program will again
be beneficiaries this year, and the brunch on the final day on Gore Creek Drive
will have a kind of “mess hall” atmosphere.
b. Vail America Days: Johnson said Highline is working with the town on marketing
and coordinating with local key events, e.g., the Patriotic Concert at the
Amphitheater. Theme-wise they’re working on a “welcome to the world,” with an
Olympic focus, the 2015’s and other milestones. Andrews said they might also
consider incorporating an international theme celebrating other country’s
independence days, thus a “freedom theme.” Navas said the idea is not to limit
what people do. She mentioned Andy Daly had extended an invitation to Mikaela
Schiffrin to be the parade marshal. Bank said to remember it’s still the Fourth of
July, a local/national holiday. Kundolf suggested focusing on immigration. Bank
asked the status of the Solaris event, to which Navas replied they’ve booked the
101st Army bands and are planning an afternoon of music.
5. Strategic Planning Discussion: (60 minutes)
a. History of Funding Document. The board agreed they’d pretty thoroughly
reviewed the funding document. Navas said the CSE budget had mostly been
flat since 2009 but had done a diligent job of weeding out non-performing events.
4/15/2014
CSE Minutes April 2, 2014 Page 4 of 5
Navas explained the higher “admin” side of the budget prior to 2007, when she
became a full-time employee of the town, rather than a contract employee of the
VCBA. Andrews said the intercept survey has been requested by the town and
is important to Council consideration and ensuring a consistent philosophy going
forward. So the question is: how do you want to go forward into the future.
b. Review Draft Memo to Town Manager regarding 2015 CSE Budget issues:
Andrews said they should concentrate on what he calls ancillary funding. They
should have a broad strategy so they can efficiently spend the taxpayer’s money.
Bank said the Council made it clear they were not going to fund new events
except in a one-time capacity. Navas said the board has three options, with
respect to gathering the expected event review data: 1) Proceed as usual; 2)
Take a percentage of the total budget off the top; or 3) Place a consistent line
item allocated to funding recaps. Bank said Council doesn’t want to continue
funding surveys but they do want the data. The CSE needs to look for a better
rate to get better data. Navas agreed doing the whole program could be
beneficial. Andrews said they need to create a standardized way that promoters
can tell us how they did, which would effectively level the playing field.
Whitaker indicated they should ask for an increase. Bank said he didn’t want to
spend 10% of the budget on surveys. Navas asked, if the increase was denied,
then what? Gordon suggested taking money off the top for one year, thus
establishing good and reliable data, but Bank said none of this information shows
need. Whitaker said the survey needs to be streamlined to level the playing field
and to allow the producer to spend money on what they need to spend it on.
Navas said the promoter needs the data to get their sponsorships. Andrews said
to concentrate on how the CSE is different from other town departments in that
the CSE actually generates revenue. Kundolf said the one-time funding is
opportunity funding and there must be a give and take. Navas said the survey
puts pressure on the producer to deliver results, resulting in accountability.
Gordon stated we have to make it easier to put on events because we want them
to be successful. Andrews said we must take care of the additional requests
coming our way. Whitaker said one-time funding doesn’t address the fact that
most events take at least a couple years to prove themselves. Kundolf
suggested the VLMDAC should fund the surveys, or a percentage of tax
revenues should pay to do them. Navas said the information gathering/survey
should be a separate line item. Whitaker said they must continue to lead and not
to fall behind.
Andrews asked for a clarification on the board’s priorities: opportunities, fireworks
or post event information. Navas reminded the board the Council has stepped
up every consistently with one-time funding based on the CSE recommendation,
but Bank said that most are huge events. Kundolf said it’s imperative the town
stay ahead of the Joneses, or Breckenridge, or whomever. Andrews said the
iconic events are in place to validate the Town Council goals already set. The
CSE needs to remind Council of the good job we’ve been doing over the last ten
years. Andrews and Whitaker agreed to take another crack at the memo, which
would be shared with the rest of the CSE board for their input within the next ten
days or so. A final draft will be brought back to the board for consideration at the
May CSE meeting.
4/15/2014
CSE Minutes April 2, 2014 Page 5 of 5
c. Brand discussion: Whitaker said the CSE should discuss how different types of
events fit into the tiers in order to ensure the balance. They will then help guide
the CSE’s decisions. The categories are important. Bank suggested that the
CSE has several new members and the board needs to go through the funding
process to see how the process works before we start to change it.
d. Independent 3rd Party Survey Requirement: How best to manage allocations and
the CSE budget to maintain delivery of consistent event recap data?
6. New Business and Community Input (5 minutes)
Joe Cleary, with Resort App Vail Valley, said their application will provide a complete
vacation guide with GIS mapping on mountain and in Vail and Beaver Creek. It will
have the ability to push special events information and allow people in different parts
of Vail or the valley – find each other. It has a lot of functionality.
Motion to adjourn @ 10:40 a.m.
M/S/P: Kundolf/Cassidy/Unanimous- The motion passed 7-0.

Town Manager Report
Stan Zemler reviewed the following topics:
Golf Course Clubhouse
Vail is at a good timeline for this project. Stan will meet with architects this week.
Starting in the fall, there will be a meeting and planning with utilities, and then
bringing in temporary structures. Projected construction start spring 2015.
Stan noted that the VRD election is coming up in a few weeks for 3 seats.
Recycling
The Town Council passed mandatory recycling in the town, which goes into effect
July 1.
Marijuana Discussion
There is a continuation of our policy of no retail sales or club facilities in town. There
will be an advisory committee or working group formed to discuss on -going issues
and policies. There needs to be consideration of brand alignment with the Town of
Vail and the purchasing and usage of marijuana.
Timber Ridge
Half of the employee housing will be gone in 2015, which may impact hiring for
businesses. Two hundred pillows will be removed, residents have already been
relocated. There will be very few vacancies on the west side of the property. The
construction will take approximately 18 months. Right now there is no plan for
construction on the second half of the property.
Neighboring Business Report
Report from one lodging property, March has been their best month ever, with
predominantly international guests.
Reports show that the week of April 13-19, with Easter being late has a negative
impact. Easter is earlier next year and can extend the occupancy due to spring
break.
4/15/2014
Lodging partners are seeing last minute reservations, however, their rates are lower
too, which could be driving bookings.
Several establishments on the west end of Meadow Drive are changing ownership.
One of the retail stores in West Vail reported sales a bit down with plans to stay
open during the off season.
One of the restaurants in West Vail reported a good season. There is no directional
marketing/signage for them and this impacts their traffic.
Laurie Mullen reported a flat season. She noted if the restaurants doing well, then
the liquor store doesn’t do as well. They are also working on being “actively green”.
The store will undergo a renovation and an upgrade after the mountain closes.
Robin Litt stated she has been out selling ads for the Jazz Festival and the
businesses are very receptive.
Matt Morgan spoke with a gallery and they said that there is an upward movement in
revenue. One of the other retailers from a small shop said that the guest s seemed
more relaxed; they attributed this to the economy. The store owner mentioned that
the Epic Pass may have something to do with it; people were not stressed to ski
every minute. Matt’s restaurants had good performance so far this year.
Michael Kurz stated he thought that it would be interesting to see data of average
length of stay and number in the party. This may be an indicator of economic
growth. Chris Romer has feedback from lodging owners who state that people are
staying for shorter periods of time. Beaver Creek numbers were also good, similar
to Vail numbers.
Another factor could be the Epic Pass; people may be coming for shorter stays, but
for more frequent visits.
Rob LeVine reports that his and neighboring condominium revenue was up a little
bit, and they saw happier skiers. Their plans for summer include remodeling and
improvements. The expectation for summer business is about the same as last year,
with possibly more group business. There was also a suggestion to hold more
weddings.
Citizen Input

For Immediate Release
Vail Resorts Introduces Epic Discovery, a Summer Mountain Adventure at Vail Mountain
Vail Resorts is first to submit comprehensive new summer activities plan to U.S. Forest Service
under new legislation.
Epic Discovery at Vail Mountain to encourage “learn through play”, promoting environmental
education and forest stewardship with numerous activities across the mountain.
Vail Resorts to work with The Nature Conservancy on environmental education experiences for
guests and will contribute 1 percent of summer lift ticket and activity revenue toward forest
restoration projects.
BROOMFIELD, Colo. — July 19, 2012 — Vail Resorts, Inc. (NYSE: MTN) announced that the
Company has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Forest Service for a comprehensive summer activities
plan at Vail Mountain, the largest ski resort in the United States.
Vail’s summer activity effort, named Epic Discovery, a Summer Mountain Adventure, will encourage
“learn through play” by featuring extensive environmental educational elements interspersed between
numerous new fun activities located in already developed areas of the mountain. Vail Resorts will work
with The Nature Conservancy to bring scientific content to the eco-discovery experiences and will be
contributing 1 percent of all summer lift ticket and activity revenue toward forest restoration projects.
This substantial initiative marks the first proposal of its kind in the country following passage last fall of
the Ski Area Recreational Opportunities Enhancement Act, championed by U.S. Senator Mark Udall of
Colorado.
Epic Discovery is designed to connect kids and families with our national forests in an active, fun and
engaging way. The proposal includes a number of new activities, including zip lines, ropes courses,
mountain excursions and Forest Flyers™ with extensive environmental and interpretive programming,
offering guests a unique opportunity to try new outdoor activities, challenge themselves physically,
discover an appreciation for nature and create lasting family memories.
“Epic Discovery will allow our mountains to truly provide guests from across t he country and around the
world an experience of a lifetime in the summer. Epic Discovery will make the national forests
accessible and engaging to people of all ages and abilities and will help educate them on the unique
ecosystem and wildlife on our mountains,” said Rob Katz, chairman and CEO of Vail Resorts. “Our
proposal could not be possible without the recent passage of new legislation, but with Epic Discovery,
our Company has raised the bar even further as we teach our kids about the spectacular natural
environment that serves as backdrops to our resorts.”
Vail Resorts also announced that it will work with the leading conservation non-profit organization, The
Nature Conservancy, to assist with the creation of environmental education programming and
interpretation. In an unprecedented move, Vail Resorts has created a new program, “1% For The
Forest”, under which it will contribute 1 percent of all summer lift ticket and activity revenue to The
Nature Conservancy for forest health restoration projects on national forest lands in the West.
“When Vail Resorts, approached us with an incredible project such as this, we at The Nature
Conservancy seized on the opportunity to not only help bring more families into the national forests, but
to inspire them through nature education,” said Tim Sullivan, state director of The Nature Conservancy
in Colorado. “Then to further be able to raise funds to support forest restoration projects at such a
critical time, this is exciting and important work we’ll be doing with Vail Resorts and their guests.”

VAIL SUMMER PLAN
2-2-2
Vail Resorts hopes to begin construction on Epic Discovery activities, after U.S. Forest Service
approval, in the summer or fall of 2013. When approved, the resulting on-mountain, eco-conscious
experience will generate new jobs related to both the construction of the new facilities and the long-
term operation, and will help support a much healthier year-round economy for the local resort
community. Epic Discovery will also create a new iconic summer destination for Colorado, attracting
guests from around the world.
"As a lifelong outdoor enthusiast and instructor, I am thrilled that the ‘Ski Area Recreational
Opportunities Enhancement Act,’ which I authored, will enable mountain resorts such as Vail to
introduce Colorado’s breathtaking forests to a wider group of visitors,” Senator Mark Udall said. “The
creation of additional educational and recreational attractions during the summer months will create
jobs in our mountain communities, help boost local economies and add to the amazing quality of life
Coloradans already enjoy.”
“Home to the majestic Rocky Mountains, Colorado is already known as a year-round destination for
amazing outdoor experiences. Vail's new iconic summer experience will be an important addition to the
state’s diverse tourism offerings. The activities and educational experiences Vail plans to offer in our
national forests, all at nearly 12,000 feet, will be unlike anything else offered in the West. We look
forward to the public input on this exciting opportunity,” said Al White, director of the Colorado Tourism
Office.
Epic Discovery activities and environmental interpretive programming will be designed to be compatible
with the existing on-mountain infrastructure of lifts and trails, blending into the natural environment in an
unobtrusive manner. In addition to the activities, U.S. Forest Service Rangers will be on site to provide
eco-educational experiences for kids and families, helping them to learn more about their natural
surroundings. Following are highlights of what guests will be able to experience, discover and learn
across Vail Mountain from Adventure Ridge into Game Creek Bowl and down to the mid-Vail area,
accessed by gondolas in Lionshead and Vail Village.
Game Creek and Front Side Zip Line Tours: The ultimate outdoor experiences, these three-
hour guided tours will immerse guests in the forest habitat with a stunning array of zip lines and
aerial bridges. Guests will learn about the indigenous flora and fauna of this mountain
ecosystem while working their way through each course’s challenges.
Adventure Ridge Challenge Tour: A multi-stage tour combining zip lines, ropes swings, bridge
components and other features.
Micro-Interpretive Centers for Education: Integrated with trails and activities around the
mountain, these interpretive experiential centers will provide guests with hands-on information
and activities about forest health, wildlife and the mountain geography of the White River
National Forest.
More Hiking and Mountain Biking Trails: Comprehensive interpretive and directional signage
will be integrated to encourage more hiking and mountain biking across Vail Mountain and
descending into the villages below.
Family Forest Adventure Park: A playground of rope challenges and bridges to introduce
young children to the wonders of the forest.
Forest Flyer™: An alpine slide that runs on raised rails, the Forest Flyers™ wind their way
down the mountain, following the natural contours of the landscape through the forest.

VAIL SUMMER PLAN
3-3-3
Game Creek Deck and Lookout Tower: A panoramic viewing balcony nestled within awe-
inspiring scenery of alpine forests, meadows of wildflowers and wildlife.
Segway Trails and Tours: A unique way to enjoy a guided tour with your own cross-terrain,
self-propelled Segway.
"Creating a less-seasonal, more year-round economy -- with far more activities, events and business
opportunities in the spring, summer and fall -- is vitally important to our local communities. We applaud
Vail Resorts’ leadership in ensuring that Vail Mountain will once again set the standard in summer
activities in the same way we already have in the winter,” said Beth Slifer, chairwoman of the Vail Local
Marketing District Advisory Council.
Vail Mountain has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Forest Service that includes the above activities
and vision for Epic Discovery. Following acceptance of the proposal, the agency will begin its
comprehensive environmental review. Epic Discovery at Vail Mountain is the first installment of summer
mountain adventure plans that Vail Resorts has for each of its seven world-class resorts. Plans for
Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood will be announced and
submitted at later dates.
