The sixth item on the agenda was a review of the 2014 audited financial statements for the
Town of Vail presented by Kathleen Halloran, Finance Director and Michael Jenkins, McMahan
and Associates. Highlights of the 2014 audited financial statements were presented. The Vail

Mayor Daly asked two questions, 1) would the council need to be made aware of any
misstatements found by the auditors; Jenkins indicated there were no misstatements found in
the reports; and 2) would there be any need to convene into executive session; Jenkins
indicated there were not any reasons to meet in executive session. Mayor Daly thanked

The seventh item on the agenda was the Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse Project Update.
Project presenters included Greg Hall, Director of Public Works Town of Vail, Chris Penney,
NV5 Inc., Project Owners Representative, Tim Losa, Zehren and Associates Inc., Project
Architect. The last time an update was presented to town council was March 3. 2015. The
team shared progress made related to the 1) DRB approved plans and exterior renderings, 2)
proposed interior finishes and interior renderings, 3) project schedule and public outreach.
Chris Penney, NV5, reviewed the progress with information about design and kitchen
consultants, the Construction Management/General Contractor estimates underway, the
(CMGC) Selection and Preconstruction Services, the temporary structure status, the
design/schedule and a summary of budget status, soft and hard costs and contingency
amounts. Council had some questions and discussion ensued on several items:
1) Change order authority; it was noted the authority is only with the Town Manager / Director
of Public Works
2) The liaison who would be communicating with the neighborhood; it was noted a
representative from Evans Chaffee construction company would serve in this role
3) The status of the public outreach plan; meetings are slated for June and July
4) The status of the weekly project team meetings
Timothy Losa, Zehren and Associates reviewed the many items and outcomes included in the
project planning process referring to the site plan, summer and winter floor plans, a preview of
the exterior materials and finishes, review of the renderings and elevations. He spoke about
their needs assessment for the user groups, 1) golf course operations, F&B staff, caterers, and
retail services. Bugby asked questions about what has been done to improve the sewer system
and the parking and expressed concerns about the project overall and whether the remodel
project improves the golfer's guest experience. Next steps were identified as follows:
• Apply to Design Review Board for Temporary Clubhouse facilities approval.
• Begin FF&E selection process
• Provide public information regarding the approved design and project components.
• Host multiple public information meetings in the July timeframe regarding construction.
• Continue to update the cost estimate as design progresses and manage risk
• Complete the project construction documents.
• Submit for the necessary building and other permits for clubhouse and temporary facilities.
• Begin construction in September 2015.

Mayor Daly opened the public hearing and comments were heard:
Sam Maslack, Sunburst Drive, asked about contingency plan if a court decision was
reached preventing the town the ability to construct the golf course.
Debra Webster, Sunburst Drive, asked if the contractor knows about the litigation.
Bugby spoke about the need for revising economic projections for the project. Mayor Daly
asked council members if there was support to direct work on updating the projections and only
Bugby favored the request. There was no further discussion on this topic.
The eighth item on the agenda was the public hearing on the topic of recreational marijuana.
The purpose of this public hearing was to provide the Vail Town Council an update about the
Town Council Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2015
Page 3
7/7/2015
use of recreational marijuana throughout Colorado for the past 18 months and request input on
whether their would be interest in establishing a policy for regulating recreational marijuana
establishments within the community. George Ruther, Director of Community Development
noted their materials contained a great deal of information, some of which was a product of their
committee convened to study the topic. Rogers reminded staff she was still interested in
hearing about the retail sales experiences of Aspen and Breckenridge since they have adopted
legislation that allows these establishments. There was some discussion about "clubs" that
would allow guests/people to partake in marijuana smoking and what communities have taken
the question to a local vote of the community. It was also suggested that the lodges and
businesses may have input about what might be currently happening along with ideas about
what would be preferred. Daly opened the public hearing with a question, "should the town of
Vail allow retail marijuana in Vail?" and comments were as follows:
✓ Kevin Kelly, spoke about how guests don't have a place to smoke marijuana and suggested
the survey questions were confusing and not sure how that impacted the results.
✓ Eric Perkins, resident, wasn't sure why it should be legalized in Vail.
✓ Jason Platt, Eagle River Youth Coalition, expressed their position of limiting exposure and
access of of marijuana for our community youths.
✓ Charlie Calcaterra, Simba Run resident, supported permanent ban noting several reasons
why and mostly in terms of keeping it away from youth.
Additional discussion points included the legal ramifications of edibles, the regulation of vendors
selling vaporizers, how hotels/lodges manage the use of marijuana on their premises, and the
questions of why sell it if there is no location to smoke it, time to "ban it". Moffet moved to not
affirmatively ban marijuana, and noted since retail sales are not a permitted use per the town's
land use code, the legislation is really already on the books. There was no second to the
motion. Daly asked staff to return with proposal before the current ban expires based on further
input given and request for more information.
The ninth item on the agenda was Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2015, an Ordinance Amending
Title 5 of the Vail Town Code by the Addition of a New Chapter 13, Entitled "Stream Tract
Protection", to Prohibit Private Improvements on Stream Tract Property in the Town of Vail.
George Ruther, Director of Community Development presented the topic with the review of the
memo noting the town has already been very actively addressing the issues in the community
with mixed responses and results. He noted the ordinance provides improved contexts for
enforcing the regulations, some of which hopes to accomplish the following:
1. further protects the public health, safety, and welfare of the community by regulating
sensitive stream tract areas in the Town
2. prohibits private encroachments in stream tract areas,
3. further ensures that the stream tract areas remain natural open space and serve the
purposes for which they were intended,
4. creates a procedure by which the Town may abate an encroachment and seek
reimbursement, and
5. establishes a mandatory violation and penalty provision for failure to comply.
Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 6; Rogers seconded the motion. Daly opened public
comment at this time.
Eric Perkins, expressed support of the ordinance.

Mery Lapin, resident, expressed support for the ordinance but would prefer stronger
language related to the stream setback, the distance has to be a certain amount, and the
stream tract as it related to town owned property.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, expressed support of the legislation as well.
Ruther entered into public record email correspondence from Peter Gladkin who wrote
about his support of the ordinance.
Eagle River Water and Sanitation District presented comments to the Town Attorney about
their concern with the ordinance related to the fact that their own structures are located in
the stream tract. It was clarified the ordinance only addresses private encroachments not
public infrastructure in the stream tracts.
Bugby expressed concerns about the ordinance requesting it be tabled and requesting more
public input and notifications to property owners. Daly noted there is still time before second
reading to notify the public and as well the next meeting presents an opportunity for further
input. There was some discussion about the notification process and related timeline being too
short; whether the matter should be considered civil or criminal and that it is not too neighborly if
it is a criminal offense, and ensuring due process is granted per the language. It was suggested
staff consider some of these changes to the ordinance for next reading. The motion passed
(6-1; Bugby nay)
The tenth item on the agenda was adjournment. There being no further business to come
before the council, Moffet moved to adjourn the meeting and Bugby seconded the motion which
passed unanimously, (7-0) and the meeting adjourned 8:45 p.m.

The first item on the agenda was Citizen Participation.
Bob Armour, Vail resident, complimented the Lion's Ridge Apartment development and
hoped the remainder of the Timber Ridge Apartments on the west side of the property
would also be redeveloped in the future. Armour went on to compliment the new
recycling signs that are posted behind the community development building. Armour
would like to see the Roost Lodge site be restored to something that is appropriate
rather than be used for construction parking. Daly explained the Roost Lodge
developer withdrew his application with community development due to increase in
construction costs.

Thereto.
Moffet made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 17, Series of 2015 as read with a second
from Kurz. The motion passed (7-0)
The third item on the agenda was any action as a result of Executive Session. There
was none.
The fourth item on the agenda was Town Manager's Report Zemler informed council
he would be attending the State Transportation Commission meetings regarding
Interstate -70 underpass funding. Rogers stated she too would be attending these
meetings.
The fifth item on the agenda was Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2015, An Ordinance
Amending Title 5 of the Vail Town Code by the Addition of a New Chapter 13, Entitled
"Stream Tract Protection", to Prohibit Private Improvements on Stream Tract Property in
the Town of Vail. Community Development Director George Ruther explained to council
if this ordinance is approved the new regulation would accomplish the following five
objectives: 1) further protected the public health, safety, and welfare of the community
by regulating sensitive stream tract areas in the Town; 2) prohibit private
encroachments in stream tract areas; 3) further ensure that the stream tract areas
remain natural open space and serve the purposes for which they are intended;
4) create a procedure by which the Town may abate an encroachment and seek
reimbursement; and 5) establish a mandatory violation and penalty provision for failure
to comply. Ruther reviewed the Community Development Departments' and the Town
Attorney's office recommended changes since first reading of Ordinance No. 6, Series
of 2015. The recommended changes were as follows: Notice of violation would be
given by certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested, rather than first class U.S. mail, to
the record owner of the adjacent real property or the owner of the encroachment, if
different, at the owner's last know address; advisement to the owner the encroachment
shall be removed and the stream tract restored to its natural condition completed within
forty-five (45) days, rather than thirty (30) days, following the date of the notice; If the
owner disputes that a violation exists, the owner shall notify the Director in writing of
such dispute within twenty-one (21) days, rather than seven (7) days, of the date of the
notice; First offense in any 12 -month period: $500, rather than $100; and Second
offense in any 12 -month period: $750, rather than $200. Roger asked what would
happen if the violator would refuse the U.S. certified mail. Ruther explained the post
office would return the receipt showing the certified letter was refused and the forty-five
day count to restore the property to its natural state would begin. Daly was concerned if
a violation notice was given during the winter season, the violator would not be able to
restore the property within the forty-five days due to weather. Daly suggested giving
violators ninety days to restore the property to its natural state rather than forty-five
Town Council Meeting Minutes of June 16, 2015 Page 2
7/7/2015
days. Ruther said the property owner would have an opportunity to work with the
Community Development Department on the time frame to complete or rectify the
issues. Both Rogers and Moffet asked how the return receipt would hold up in a court of
law. Town Attorney Matt Mire said the courts will use an envelope that acknowledges
that someone had rejected or refused to sign for it as notice. Bugby suggested posting
the notice to the property owner's door. Ruther felt the U.S. certified mail with the
requested return receipt has been effective in similar Community Development
processes. Bugby reviewed his redline version of the ordinance with his suggested
modifications. Bugby explained he was not supportive of the increase in fines and that
he the ordinance was overkill without due process. Bugby made a motion to accept his
redline version of Ordinance No. 6, Series of 2015. There was no second to his motion.
Bruno felt the forty-five day to rectify the violation was appropriate. Daly asked if an
appeal would be heard by the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). Mire
explained a dispute in boundaries would be heard in District Court and that the PEC
could not dispute property lines. Mire went on to say the decision would be given to the
Director of Community Development. Ruther stated his department had sent hundreds
of letters to property owners regarding this ordinance between the first and second
reading. Moffet made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 6 with the recommended
amendments. The motion was second by Kurz. Daly asked for public comment.
Jim Lamont, Vail Homeowners Association, agreed there have been stream tract
issues prior to Town zoning and the Town has the right to enforce compliance, but
also acknowledged that how its done is a delicate matter and cannot be overbearing.
Lamont thought the Appellant process should be left in the hands of staff, but there
needs to be an appeal process that would allow council to make the ultimate
decision on more complicated properties.
Daly stated the Town has been extraordinarily patient in working with private property
owners on the stream tract issue and the Town needs to look at the quality of Gore
Creek. Bugby felt the ordinance has good intentions, but there needed to be a way to
allow a homeowner to have their day in court. Mire said all homeowners who have
been in violation have received a trespassing summons; which required the homeowner
to go before the municipal judge. Mire questioned what the appeal would be. Lamont
asked how an adverse possession would work with this ordinance. Mire explained
homeowners could do that now by going to the District court.
Tom Vucich, East Vail property owner, expressed his preference to see a
comprehensive ordinance and suggested a comprehensive public-private
coordination effort on related stream tract issues.
There was no more public input on this topic. Bruno reminded everyone the goal of the
ordinance is to achieve compliance. The motion passed (6-1; Bugby opposed).
The sixth item on the agenda was Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2015, An Ordinance
Extending the Temporary Ban on Marijuana Establishments in the Town, Pursuant to
Section 16 of Article XVIII of the Colorado Constitution (Amendment 64). Ruther
explained the three objectives this ordinance would accomplish: 1) extend the
Town Council Meeting Minutes of June 16, 2015 Page 3
7/7/2015
temporary ban on the operation of marijuana establishments at any location in the Town
from August 4, 2015 to October 6, 2015; 2) restrict the Town from accepting or
processing any applications for the operation of marijuana establishments in the Town
until a recreational marijuana policy is more formally adopted; and 3) afford the
community additional time to gather information, to review the state statutes and
forthcoming regulations and to study the impacts of marijuana establishments and the
zones districts in which they should be permitted, if at all. Moffet wanted to clarify that
since the Town doses allow this "use" in its current land use code, the Town would not
allow or accept this type of business. Mire said yes and the ordinance would prevent
someone from petitioning council. Daly asked for public comment.
Bob Armour, Vail resident, stated he did his own research and spoke with
communities that currently allow retail and medical marijuana establishments within
their town limits and with business owners who are located next to or near marijuana
establishments. Armour does not feel the Town needs to offer this type of service
and would like council to make a motion to ban retail sales permanently.
Robert Takata, Avon Resident, said Vail should consider a cannabis social club.
Takata offered council his consulting services and insight into cannabis issues.
Luc Meyer, Vail resident, said he was completely against adopting any kind of
consumption club or retail pot sales in Vail.
There was no more public comment. Moffet made a motion to approve the first reading
of Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2015 to extend the moratorium, with a second from Kurz.
The motion passed (7-0).
The seventh item on the agenda was adjournment. There being no further business to
come before the council, Moffet moved to adjourn the meeting and Kurz seconded the
motion which passed unanimously, (7-0) and the meeting adjourned 7:33 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Department of Public Works
Date: July 7, 2015
Subject: Ford Park Hillside Revegetation Project — Request to Award Contract
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this item is to request the Town Council to award the contract to complete
Phase 1 of the Ford Park Revegetation Project . In 2014 Town Council directed staff to
revegetate the hillside between the Ford Park lot and Gore Creek. This area was utilized as a
snow dump for many years which destroyed the native vegetation. The Town Council has
budgeted $100,000 to pay for the cost of the project.
BACKGROUND
Staff employed the services of Golder Associates, an international consulting firm specializing in
restoration and reclamation work, to prepare plans and procedures to successfully accomplish
the Ford Park Hillside Revegetation Project. Golder Associates recommended not disturbing
the existing ground surface by removing existing cinders and Mountain Brome vegetation. This
action would expose the large number of weed seeds present in the soil and result in
unnecessary erosion. Golder Associates recommended mowing the existing Mountain Brome,
seeding more desirable plant species and planting desirable plant material in pockets across the
hillside. The planting will be accomplished in two phases with the woody vegetation being
installed this year. During the following year, additional herbaceous plant material (wildflowers)
will be installed. The existing irrigation system will be expanded to provide water for
establishment of the seed and plantings over a period of 3 to 5 years.
III. BIDDING PROCESS
On May 29, 2015 a bid package of drawings and specifications was released to public bid for
the Ford Park Hillside Revegetation Project. Bids were submitted and opened on June 17,
2015. Four bidders submitted bids for the project. The local company SHC Nursery and
Landscape submitted the lowest qualified bid of $59,818.80.
V. SCHEDULE
Work will commence on the project immediately following Town Council award of the contract.
The Phase 1 work will be completed on or around August 31, 2015. The contractor is well
aware of the schedule of events at Ford Park and the restrictions associated with working
around the parking areas.
VI. STAFF/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Town staff recommends the Town Council award the contract for the Ford Park Hillside
Revegetation Project to SHC Nursery and Landscape in the amount of $59,818.80.

Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council

Date: July 7, 2015
Subject: Lionshead Structure Permanent Skatepark — Council Request
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this item is to request approval from the Town Council on three issues
concerning the design and construction of a permanent skatepark in the gap between the north
and south sides of the Lionshead Parking Structure. They are as follows:
Approve the final design of the permanent skatepark in Lionshead Parking Structure
as prepared by California Skateparks and selected by the skaters who participated in
the design workshops.
Award the contract for the construction portion of the Design/Build skatepark contract
to California Skateparks in the amount of $1,258,738.
Amend the overall budget by $1,468,278 for a total budget of $1,618,278 for the
skatepark
II. BACKGROUND
On April 21, 2015 the Town Council unanimously approved the gap between the north and
south sides of the Lionshead Parking Structure as the site for the permanent skatepark in Vail
and awarded the design portion of a design/build contract for the skatepark to California
Skateparks in the amount of $83,500. Staff was directed to proceed with the public process for
the final design of the skatepark and related improvements including public art components,
electrical/lighting, safety and site work. Staff employed the services of Martin and Martin
Engineering to prepare designs and engineering drawings for the related improvements. The
cost of the engineering work by Martin and Martin is $50,000.
Public Process
California Skateparks with town and VRD staff conducted 2 public skatepark design workshops
to solicit input and ideas for the final design of the permanent skatepark. These workshops
were held on May 13 and 27, 2015. People who attended the workshops included youth
skaters, parents, adult skaters, and interest non -skating citizens. The first workshop, 24 in
attendance, was to gather ideas and input regarding the styles of skatepark desired and the
types of features to be included. Using the ideas presented and discussed, California
Skateparks prepared 2 design options which were presented at the second workshop. At the
second workshop, 36 in attendance, attendees were asked to review the designs and features
and vote on the preferred types of features and their arrangement. The enthusiastic discussion
resulted in a skatepark design which met the expectations and preferences of all in attendance.
The preferences of the workshop attendees included a specific request to add a half -pipe
feature, in addition to the already proposed mini -ramp, in the space beyond the west stair tower.
The public opinion is that it provides a feature for a popular type of skating that exists in the
current skatepark and is desired to be retained.
7/7/2015
Art in Public Places
Public art is an important element in creating the identity and elevating the experience of Vail's
proposed skatepark. Artistic and design elements will visually enhance the skatepark elements
designed by CSP and extend to the surrounding walls and surfaces of the Lionshead Parking
Structure within the skatepark area. AIPP issued an RFQ which resulted in over 50 applications
by interested artists. Adhering to the artwork criteria as established by the AIPP Guidelines, four
finalists were selected to submit proposals based upon quality and innovation, timelessness,
compatibility with site, permanence, and public safety. The proposals are due July 15 with
tentative review planned for July 20. The budget for public art within the skatepark project is
$50,000.
III. SKATEPARK DESIGN
The design for the Vail Skatepark is going to be one of the most unique skate spaces in
existence. Not only does it take advantage of an otherwise forgotten space, but even within the
long, narrow corridor that will house the park, it takes every opportunity by twisting, turning,
dipping, and extending around footings, walls, and other existing site conditions. The main
stretch of the park, 5700 sq. ft., within the open air space of the Lionshead parking garage,
spans 230' and is flanked on either side by vertical walls multiple stories tall where the garage
stair circulation exists. The long narrow space allows for a large variety of street and transition
style elements and also includes a signature "vert" feature running up the wall that houses the
stairs, all of which were directly inspired by, and decided upon, by the local skate community.
There are also two additional spaces beyond the stairs, each around 40' in length, that are
going to be dedicated to transition elements — one beginner bowl and one more
intermediate/advanced halfpipe. These spaces bring the total skate park area to approximately
7700 sq. ft. Images of the overall skatepark configuration and details of select features are
attached.
IV. DRB/PEC APPROVAL
The Skatepark project is scheduled to be reviewed by the Planning and Environmental
Commission (PEC) on July 13 and Design Review Board (DRB) on July 15, 2015. The action
requested by the PEC is a modification of the existing Conditional Use Permit for a skate park at
the Lionshead Parking Structure. A work session was conducted with the DRB on May 20,
2015. The DRB recommended that the two areas, outside the skatepark area, between the
vehicular ramps crossing the gap be landscaped.
V. PROJECT BUDGET
On April 21, 2015 staff reiterated a preliminary overall budget in the range of $1,550,000. That
preliminary budget included skate park design and public process, general construction,
skatepark construction including the additional mini -ramp area, public art, engineering, and
contingency. Final costs for all construction and design have been determined and are broken
down as follows.
Skatepark design and public process $ 83,500
Skatepark and general construction complete per design $1,258,738
Integrated Public Art $ 50,000
Engineering and Code Analysis $ 50,840
Landscape and Irrigation per DRB $ 30,000
Contingency $ 145,200
Total $1,618,278
Town of Vail

The above pricing includes competitively priced subcontractor scope of work and the proposed
expansion of the skatepark area with the half -pipe feature,which if included in April would have
been proposed at $65,000, and landscaping of the areas between the existing vehicular ramps
according to the recommendations made by the Design Review Board at the initial work session
discussion.
VI. OPTION FOR SNOWMELT
There is an option available to include snowmelt in the skatepark area. The idea of including a
snowmelt system within the skate park features was suggested by attendees of the public
workshops, members of the skate park committee and California Skateparks. The benefits of
snowmelting the skate park include year-round use of the facility which provides a winter activity
that is currently unavailable to the public. The segment of the Vail guest and resident
population that are too young for the bars and clubs would have an alternate activity to occupy
their time and enhance their experience. In particular, events such as the Burton Open would
bring a large number of that demographic to the park. The existing boiler room beneath the
Lionshead Transit Building is sized to accommodate an additional boiler. This boiler is intended
to provide heating capacity for approximately 20,000 square feet around and within the
Lionshead Structure. The skatepark area would add 7,700 square feet to that area demand. If
the Council is interested in pursuing snowmelt within the skatepark, additional engineering will
be performed to determine boiler and control requirements. The cost of installation of a
snowmelt system within the skatepark will be between $20 and $25 per square foot. This would
result in a budget increase of $154,000 to $193,000. The cost of the boiler and modifications to
the existing boiler room are not included. Annual operational cost for town -wide snowmelt areas
are currently $3.00 per square foot. The cost of snowmelting the skatepark area would be
approximately $23,000 per year.
V. SCHEDULE
California Skateparks has provided a proposed schedule for the construction of the skatepark of
approximately 60 days. Construction is anticipated to begin on August 1, 2015 and be
completed in mid October 2015.
VI. STAFF/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
Town and Vail Recreation District Staff and the Skatepark Committee recommend the Town
Council take the following actions regarding the proposed skatepark.
1. Approve the final design of the permanent skatepark in Lionshead Parking Structure as
prepared by California Skateparks and selected by the skaters who participated in the
design workshops.
2. Award the contract for the construction portion of the Design/Build skatepark contract to
California Skateparks in the amount of $1,258,738.
3. Approve and amendment to the budget of $1,468,278 for a total budget of $1,618,278
for the skatepark.
4. Provide direction if the Council would like staff to further investigate the idea of
snowmelting the skatepark.

until the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the East Wing or until
construction or acquisition of the 41 parking spaces required by Section 5(c)(ii)
below, VVMC shall provide a minimum of 41 net new off-site parking spaces, to
meet the parking requirements of the Project. For purposes of this Agreement,
"net new" means spaces to which VVMC did not have access prior to March 23,
2015.
g. Snowmelt Facilities. VVMC shall install heat and snowmelt facilities,
including the heat plant and heat distribution system, required for all sidewalks on the
Property as identified in Exhibit D, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference, and shall provide for the ongoing operation and maintenance of such
facilities at VVMC's sole cost.
h. Loading Areas. The Project shall include adequate loading and delivery
facilities available, free of charge, for use by the Project. Loading and delivery facilities
may be located on private parking areas, drives, and roads located on the Project, but
not on public streets.
i. Middle Creek. On or before August 14, 2015, VVMC shall submit a plan
for cleaning and restoring the bank of Middle Creek adjacent to the Property and
proceed through the appropriate process for completion by November 1, 2015.
4. Construction and Warranty.
a. Plan. VVMC shall provide a construction management plan for review and
approval by Town staff prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the West
Wing.
b. Phasing. Public Improvements may be constructed in phases, as required
to serve the particular phase of the Project being constructed.
C. Security. Prior to site disturbance for the Project, VVMC shall furnish to
the Town either a cash escrow or an irrevocable letter of credit in an amount equal to
120% of the estimated costs of the Public Improvements required to support the phase
of development for which the site disturbance is occurring. The Town shall have the
right to draw against the security if VVMC fails to construct the Public Improvements for
such development phase in compliance with this Agreement or applicable law. The
Public Improvements for each phase of development will be set forth in a Development
Improvements Agreement, in the Town's standard form. The letter of credit shall be in a
form reasonably approved by the Town and issued by a financial institution reasonably
satisfactory to the Town. The security shall be released as construction progresses in
accordance with the Town's standard practices.
d. Construction Standards. WMC shall ensure that all construction and
improvements are performed in a workmanlike manner in accordance with Town rules,
regulations, requirements, criteria, and codes governing such construction and this
4
7/1/2015
II VWS-STORAGEI DESKTOPS$1 SBELLMI DESKTOPI DA -A070115. DOCX
7/7/2015
Agreement. The Town shall have no duty to accept the dedication of any Public
Improvement that is not constructed in compliance with this Section.
e. Damage. VVMC shall be fully responsible for the prompt repair of any
property which may be damaged during construction of the Public Improvements,
whether such property is public or private.
f. Completion. VVMC shall notify the Town when it deems a Public
Improvement to be complete.
g. Conditional Acceptance. Within 30 days of notification that the Public
Improvements are complete, the Town will review the same and deliver a written
Conditional Acceptance, or, for any that are not acceptable, specify in writing in
reasonable detail which improvements are not acceptable and the reasons they are
unacceptable.
h. Warranty. VVMC warrants and guarantees that, for two years from the
date of Conditional Acceptance, the Public Improvements: will not fail, and will be
constructed and installed in a workmanlike manner suitable for their intended uses; will
be constructed in compliance with applicable federal, state, municipal, and special
district statutes, ordinances, regulations, rules and codes; and will comply with all
applicable land use approvals.
i. Final Acceptance. Upon the expiration of the warranty period for any
particular Public Improvement, and provided any breaches of warranty have been
cured, the Town shall issue written Final Acceptance of such Public Improvement and,
thereafter, the Town will accept and maintain such improvements. Upon VVMC's
request, the Town shall confirm in writing the acceptance of such Public Improvement.
5. Fees.
a. General. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, VVMC shall
pay all permit, plan review, and other similar fees to the Town in connection with the
Project.
b. Employee Housing. The Parties recognize that the Project will generate
new employees, and as such, VVMC must mitigate the impacts on employee housing.
In mitigation of those impacts, VVMC agrees to the following:
i. Initial Payment. VVMC shall submit a cash -in -lieu payment in accordance
with this Section (the "Employee Housing Payment"). The Employee Housing
Payment shall be due upon issuance of the first building permit for the West
Wing. The amount of the Employee Housing Payment shall include both the
employees generated by the West Wing (56 employees as determined by the
PEC on May 11, 2015) and the employees anticipated to be generated by the
East Wing and all other aspects of the Project ("East Wing Estimate"). When the
final employee housing requirements are determined by the Town (during the
PEC approval process for the East Wing), the amount due will be determined,
5
7/1/2015
II VWS-STORAGEI DESKTOPS$1 SBELLMI DESKTOPI DA -A070115. DOCX
7/7/2015
under the formula in place at that time. The Employee Housing Payment shall be
retained by the Town, regardless of whether the East Wing is ever constructed.
ii. Audit. Two years following the issuance of the first certificate of
occupancy for the West Wing, the Town shall conduct an audit to determine how
many new employees were actually generated by the West Wing during that two-
year period. If that number exceeds 56, VVMC shall submit an additional cash -
in -lieu payment for the additional employees. If that number is less than 56,
VVMC may be entitled to a credit as set forth below.
iii. Credit. If a building permit is issued for the East Wing within 10 years
from the date of issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the West Wing,
the Town shall credit that portion of the Employee Housing Payment not
attributable to the West Wing against any employee housing mitigation
requirements for the East Wing.
iv. Refund. If a building permit is issued for the East Wing within 10 years
from the date of issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the West Wing,
and the East Wing Estimate exceeded the actual employee housing mitigation
requirements for the East Wing Estimate, the Town will provide a refund.
V. No Credit or Refund. If a building permit is not issued for the East Wing
within 10 years from the date of issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for
the West Wing, the entire Employee Housing Payment shall be retained by the
Town, with no credit or refund to VVMC.
C. Parking. The Parties recognize that the Project will generate increased
parking demands, and that currently, a parking deficit of 173 spaces exists (the "Parking
Deficit"). The Parties agree to address the deficit and the increased parking demands
as follows:
L Annual Payment. VVMC shall remit an annual payment to the Town to
defray the Town's expenses incurred in providing parking for VVMC during the
non -ski season months, in the amount of $5,250 (the "Annual Parking Payment").
The Annual Parking Payment shall commence upon the issuance of the first
building permit for the West Wing and continue until the first certificate of
occupancy is issued by the Town for the East Wing.
ii. Future Parking Commitment. Upon the issuance of the first certificate of
occupancy for the East Wing, VVMC shall construct or acquire ownership of a
minimum of 41 net new parking spaces on-site or within 300' of the Property. In
addition, VVMC shall construct parking or implement permanent programs or
improvements to provide alternative transportation solutions for employees that
further mitigate the Parking Deficit. Examples of such programs or
improvements include without limitation off-site or down -valley park and ride
facilities and other programs set forth in § 12-10-20 of the Vail Town Code. All
such programs are subject to review and approval by the Town pursuant to
6
7/1/2015
II VWS-STORAGEI DESKTOPS$1 SBELLMI DESKTOPI DA -A070115. DOCX
7/7/2015
applicable review procedures. Such programs shall not be altered or
discontinued without prior Town approval.
iii. Penalty. If VVMC does not obtain the first building permit for construction
of the East Wing and does not mitigate the Parking Deficit as required above
within 10 years of the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the West
Wing, then VVMC shall pay the Town a penalty of $14,980,000 (which
represents $70,000 per parking space); provided that the penalty shall be
reduced in an amount equal to the parking spaces that have been constructed,
acquired or mitigated for, in the amount of $70,000 per space. If the penalty is
imposed, in addition to the penalty, the Parties acknowledge that the Town shall
not have any obligation to act on any land use applications for the Property that
do not address the Parking Deficit.
iv. Audit. The Town shall conduct a biennial audit of the parking programs
implemented and improvements constructed by VVMC. If the audit
demonstrates that such programs and improvements have not mitigated the
Parking Deficit, the Town may require VVMC to implement new or improved
programs, or make additional improvements, subject to applicable Town review
procedures.
d. Traffic. The Parties recognize that the Project will generate traffic impacts,
and as such, requirements for mitigation of such traffic impacts. The Parties agree to
address those parking impacts as follows:
i. Payment. VVMC shall pay a traffic impact fee (the "Traffic Payment"),
upon the issuance of the first building permit for the West Wing. The amount
shall be $624,000 ($6,500 multiplied by 96, which represents the net new p.m.
peak hour trips actually generated by the West Wing and estimated to be
generated by the East Wing).
ii. Refund/Additional Payment upon Codification. The Parties recognize that
the Traffic Payment is based on the formula in place as of the Effective Date, but
that the formula was not codified on the Effective Date. When the Town codifies
the formula, the Parties agree that, should the codified formula result in a total
payment that is less than the Traffic Payment, the Town will refund the difference
to VVMC, but should the codified formula result in a total payment that is more
than the Traffic Payment, VVMC will make the additional payment to the Town;
provided, however, that the codification of the formula occurs prior to the
submittal of the first building permit application for the East Wing or within 5
years of the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy for the West Wing,
whichever occurs first. If no formula is codified within that time, no refund or
additional payment shall be due. If the Town codifies the formula and VVMC
makes an additional payment to the Town as set forth above and the Town
subsequently amends the formula to decrease the cost per trip within 5 years of
the codification, then the Town shall refund the difference to VVMC.
7
7/1/2015
II VWS-STORAGEI DESKTOPS$I SBELLMI DESKTOPI DA -A070115. DOCX
7/7/2015
iii. Refund/Additional Payment for East Wing. Upon issuance of the first
building permit for the East Wing, the number of new p.m. peak hour trips
actually generated by the East Wing shall be determined. If the number of trips
is less than the amount estimated in Section 5.d.i. above, the Town will refund
the difference to VVMC. If the number of trips is more than the amount
estimated in Section 5.d.i. above, VVMC shall make the additional payment to
the Town.
iv. Credit. The actual cost to VVMC of the initial access improvements to the
South Frontage Road and Town Hall parking lot, as set forth in Exhibit C-3,
attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, shall be credited against the
Traffic Payment, up to a maximum amount of $250,000, at such time as such
improvements are accepted by the Town.
6. Breach and Remedies
a. By the Town. If the Town defaults on any obligation under this Agreement
for any reason, VVMC may seek damages, but VVMC shall not be entitled to enforce
this Agreement through an action for specific performance.
b. By VVMC. If VVMC defaults on any obligation under this Agreement, the
Town may: seek damages; draw on the letter of credit; and/or withhold issuance of
building permits or certificates of occupancy not yet issued for any improvements on the
Property until said default has been cured or waived. In addition to the specific
remedies set forth herein, the Town shall have all other remedies available at law or
equity, and the exercise of one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other
remedy.
7. Miscellaneous.
a. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined to be void
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect any other
provision hereof, and all of the other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
b. Integration. This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior or extrinsic
agreements, understandings or negotiations shall be deemed merged herein.
C. Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be waived to any extent

agreement of the Parties.

I. SUMMARY
In Tuesday evening's session, you will be asked to approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 7,
Series 2015, a supplemental appropriation of the 2015 budget.
II. DISCUSSION
Included in this supplemental discussion are requests for funding outside of the town's normal
budget cycle, or "off -cycle contributions". The purpose of this mid -year review is to provide an
opportunity for organizations that have newly identified projects or unforeseen changes to their
budgets to come forward all at the same time and for Council to provide consistent criteria and
evaluations. Staff recommendations for these requests are attached on page 4.
General Fund
Budgeted revenue will be adjusted by an increase of $23,260 directly offset by corresponding
expenditures: $10,000 of donations raised by the Friends of the Library will be used towards
funding an annual fundraising event, "One Book One Valley" author expenses and recycling
bags for distribution under the town's environmental program; $7,500 of state grant funding from
the Department of Criminal Justice will be used to purchase listening devises for covert police
investigations; $5,760 of rental revenue for the recently -purchased Vail Heights Unit #7 will be
used to offset needed improvements to the new employee rental unit, assessments and utilities.
An overall expenditure increase of $88,951 is requested with $23,260 of that relating to the
expenditures mentioned above. Other expenditure adjustments include $25,000 for the winter
Toronto air service pledge as originally requested during the 2015 budget process. At that time,
Council directed staff to wait until later in the year so the town's funding would align with other
funding partners. The original funding request was $39,000. Also requested (and approved) in
the 2015 budget process was an increase of $11,561 for radio communication charges paid to
Eagle County. It is included in the supplemental because it was erroneously omitted from the
accounting system due to a clerical error made when the budget was entered by departments.
The off -cycle contributions are currently included in this budget request based on staff
recommendations and total $33,500. Please see page 4 for details of the contribution requests
and staff recommendations.
7/7/2015
These adjustments to the General Fund 2015 budget result in a net decrease of $74.2K, with a
resulting fund balance of $19 million by the end of 2015, or 55% of annual revenues.
Police Crimes Fund
The Police Crimes Fund is reported within the General Fund as restricted resources. These
funds are restricted for uses defined by the state and federal government for police activity.
This supplemental budget request is for the use of $2,000 of seizure funds for drug task force
activities. There is no net impact to the Police Crimes Fund.
Capital Projects Fund
Revenue will be adjusted by a total increase of $227,300 offset by corresponding expenditures.
This includes a state grant of $37,500 to offset $46,500 of expenditure for new electric car
charging stations in the parking structures. It also includes an $189,800 state grant from CDOT
which will be used to continue the Police E -ticketing system implementation.
Staff is requesting to supplement 2015 expenditures by a total of $486,300. Other than the
$236,300 relating to the items listed above, new projects or increases requested include:
$100,000 increase to capital street maintenance for an unexpected glycol spill caused by
an underground pipe leak that needed immediate attention. The spill was not covered
by our insurance.
$150,000 to be moved forward from the 2016 budget for design, surveys, and soil testing
to be completed this summer for a renovation of the East Vail Fire Station. These
monies are currently budgeted as part of the $1.5 million in the 2016 budget for this
project.
The proposed budget adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $21.8 million by
the end of 2015.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund
Budgeted revenues will increase by $1,000 to reflect a donation toward the Sole Power program
to be directly off set by corresponding expenditures for that environmental program. Revenue
will also be adjusted for the sale of the Art Pass, a new art membership program offered by the
Art in Public Places department. With the program just getting off to a start, staff is estimating
revenue and expenditures both at $5,000.
Staff has also included the off -cycle contribution request at an amount of $10,000 for the Vail
Valley Trail Connection. Pease refer to page 4 for details.
A $1.9M transfer of funds from the Conference Center Fund to the RETT Fund reflects the
remaining balance to be used to offset construction of the Vail Golf and Nordic Clubhouse.
The proposed budget adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $3.1 million by the
end of 2015.
-2-
7/7/2015
Dispatch Services
Revenue will be adjusted by $10,000 which is an estimated amount of reimbursement from
Pitkin Country for corresponding expenditures relating to an intergovernmental agreement to
supply Vail Dispatch Services staff while Pitkin County rebounds from a severe staffing
shortage. There is no net impact to the Dispatch Fund.
Conference Center Fund
Budgeted revenues will increase by a total of $10,000. This is due entirely to an increase in
estimated interest income. The increase to investment income reflects the amount of fund
balance that has remained in this fund for a large part of the year.
A transfer of $1,973,553 to the RETT Fund is proposed to offset construction of the Vail Golf
and Nordic Clubhouse as part of the original plan approved by voters. This transfer will
eliminate any remaining dollars from this fund.
Timber Ridge Enterprise Fund
Operating expenditures are reduced by $397,000 due to an accounting adjustment. During the
first budget supplemental, too high of an amount was re -appropriated for capital projects.

2015 Off -Cycle Contributions
A. Eagle Air Alliance
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Eagle Air Alliance is requesting a cash contribution of
$25,000 to add a new flight guarantee for Oakland California on Allegiant airline. As of June 26, the
Air Alliance notified us that the amount requested will decrease due to Allegiant not being able to
start service until February (original request was for December).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends funding this request due to the economic
benefit to the town driven by air service into Eagle County. Amounts requested from other
partnering organizations for this particular flight include Eagle County at $30K and Gypsum at
$25K; they also plan to request funding from Beaver Creek Resort Co. and Avon.
B. Vail Chamber & Business Association (VCBA)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The VCBA is requesting a cash contribution of $25,000 to help
offset the cost of advertising to the business partners who participate in the publication.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the purchase of advertising space within this
publication (10 pages at $850/page for total amount of $8,500) rather than a direct cash
contribution. While staff strongly agrees with the new direction this publication is heading, the
subsidy of advertising for Vail businesses does not seem appropriate for taxpayer dollars.
C. Parking for summer sporting events
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Council has delegated authority to staff for the distribution of in-
kind services, however those requests are reported to Council and the public for tracking and
transparency purposes. With the recent changes in summer managed parking out at Ford Park and
the Soccer Field parking areas, staff is proposing to document any in-kind parking allocated to
sporting events (such as Kick It Soccer) through this process. This is consistent with how we
document parking allocated to Bravo!, local area nonprofit groups, etc. A limited amount of parking
will be granted through this process each year and staff will look to the Event Review Committee to
allocate appropriately to events bringing more than 1,000 attendees/spectators. If parking needs
extend beyond the annual limit then parking fees may apply during the managed -parking days.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: No action needed.
D. Vail Valley Trail Connection
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Valley Trail Connection is requesting a cash contribution
of $15,000 to work toward the goal of being designated a Gold Medal Ride Center by the IMBA
(International Mountain Bike Assn) and for overall work to improve trails throughout the Vail Valley.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports funding from the RETT Fund at a level
commensurate with Eagle County, at $10,000. Staff has inquired about funding from Beaver
Creek;Town of Avon has pledged $15,000, Town of Eagle $7,500 and Gypsum $2,500. Private
businesses have pledged a total of $14,500.

Michael Brown, Chair Jean Alexander Jeff Shroll

Kelli McDonald Jean Alexander Jen Brown
Julie Bergsten Virginia Egger
6. Amount of contribution requested: $25,000
7. Why was this not part of the normal contribution request process for 2015 budgeting (due
June 30, 2014)?
The Air Alliance would like to request an off -cycle supplemental funding request in the
amount of $25,000 in order to secure new non-stop flight service from Oakland, California
for the upcoming winter season. This service would be two days per week on Allegiant
Airlines with an anticipated minimum revenue guarantee of $230,000 to be raised in
collaboration with other public and private partners in order to raise the necessary funds to
increase our air service.
This service would result in an estimated increase in net new passengers of 3,900 which
equates to an economic impact of $8,322,600 (source: EGE Intercept Study, RRC
Associates, winter 2014-15 guest spending).
This flight opportunity did not exist when the 2015 funding request was completed.
8. Organization fiscal year-end: December 31
9. Are your books audited? No
10. How will the contribution be used?
7/7/2015
As noted above, funds will be used to secure a new non-stop flight from Oakland, CA to
Eagle County Regional Airport for the upcoming winter 2015-16 season.
11. How does your request support item 1C of the contribution policy?
We believe it is completely aligned with the mission of the Town of Vail and that flight
service is of utmost importance to the health of our tourism economy. The airport in many
ways is the economic driver of our tourism industry, and the tourism industry is the
economic driver of small business success in Eagle County and the Town of Vail. Air service
is also an important consideration to second homeowners and prospective businesses, further
connecting the grant request to the strategic goals outlined by the Town of Vail.
Some key facts that benefit the community and support the ToV goals and mission:
• 39% of EGE visitors stay in the Town of Vail
• Average stay is 6.6 nights
• Average spend is $392 per person/per day (not including airfare) for Vail visitors
through EGE
• EGE visitors have a high income profile (60% earn over $200k per year and 25%
earn over $500k), matching Vail's demographic for destination guests
• If air service were not available to EGE and visitors had to fly into DIA
and drive to Eagle County, the impact is potentially significant on future
visitation to the area, with nearly 70 percent of travel possibly affected to one
extent or another. Most significantly, more than one in four may not visit at all if
they have to fly to DIA and then drive to the area (28 percent definitely will not
or unlikely to visit). An additional two in five respondents said they would visit,
but less often (41 percent).
• 39 percent of EGE visitors indicate that availability/ variety of nonstop flights
from EGE to out-of-state hub airports would be the single most important factor
in their decision to use EGE for future trips.
Source: EGE Intercept Study, winter 2014-15, RRC Associates
Increased air service, in this case through support for new non-stop service from a top
skier market (Oakland/Bay Area, CA), and the demographics and data of visitors who
access our community through the Eagle County Regional Airport, is clearly aligned with
the goals set forth in item 1C.
12. Who currently funds your organization (other governments, private donations, user fees,
etc.)?
EGE Air Alliance is funding by both public partners (Eagle County, Town of Gypsum,
Town of Eagle, Town of Avon, Beaver Creek Resort Company, Town of Vail) and
private partners (approximately 70 business entities throughout the valley with Vail
Resorts as the largest supporter).
13. Organization's mission statement:
The mission of the EGE Air Alliance is to create and maintain a vibrant flight program
at the Eagle County Regional Airport

Unless and until you can definitively determine that pot shops and clubs will enhance the Vail experience and make Vail
a better place to live and vacation, I urge you to ban them. I can see no benefit whatsoever to having pot shops and
clubs in Vail.

"Let's authorize more pot shops to ruin more kids lives!" Buddy Sims, Edwards, CO
Town of Vail Council & Eagle County BoCC,
Ref: "Moment of truth for medical marijuana"
A billionaire named George Soros was behind funding both ballot initiatives in Colorado
and just about every other state in America. The fun part is for $2.5 million he helped to
convince over 50% of CO voters to approve both medical and recreational marijuana. That
was a very cheap price to pay for a new industry in CO probably worth over several billion
dollars. I really don't remember any Eagle County grass root groups standing on corners
pushing pot?
And now the The Denver Post Editorial Board below has changed sides and says "Critics
have long suspected that medical claims were mostly a ruse to legalize weed." and
"states will want to revisit the extent of their support for it." Maybe the Board switched
because what was promised to the Colorado voters never came true?
It is too late for the Eagle BoCC to replace startup costs to their General Fund with more
revenue from the drug dealers in Eagle County. As the facts show Eagle County only took
in $87,141 in State Revenue and $50,000 in local permitting and license fees
in 2014. Way back at the ECPC and BoCC meetings (recorded) on marijuana in 2013, it
was stated in public that Eagle County Government would get $337,000 in tax revenues in
2014 from recreational marijuana alone. The BoCC due to poor research, poor legal
advice, and a complete lack of understanding the intent of the marijuana industry
approved these ruses. Drug dealers only care about cash not our kids or community
public safety. In the "2015 Eagle County Budget Presentation" I find it very strange and
not very reassuring that the County Government sold pot to the voters as a "growth
industry" with lots of revenue projected but medical and recreational marijuana are not
even mentioned on one slide of the 65 County Budget slides? Your pot program is not
paying for itself and appears the taxpayers covered the expenses in 2014 and projected in
2015 per your own forecast. Using County taxpayer's General Fund money to support pot
is against Federal and State Law and this account will be settled.
Town of Vail Council, it is not too late for you to vote to ban having medical and
recreational mariivana in Vail including smoke rooms at the July 7th Council
meeting. Don't you think 3 medical and 6 recreational retail stores in the "Green Mile" in
Eagle -Vail, CO will be enough to concede to the marijuana industry. Don't you also think it
is strange most of these retail pot shops are not involved with our local kid's programs or
non -profits as supporters. The obvious answer is the "target audience" to buy
medical and recreational marijuana is our kids. Never forget that. All the smoke in the
room does not conceal the fact that drug dealers want to get our kids addicted so they can
be hooked the rest of their lives and then have taxpayers pay for the social and mental
health costs to follow.
work every year with Teen Challenge, New River, AZ, a drug rehab male adult program
and this group of 60 voluntary men, all ages, say they all started on two drugs - either
10% pills from parents cabinets or 90% pot. With drug users it is all about a better high -
pot is great now with 40% THC but crystal meth, crack cocaine, heroin are cheaper and a
much better high than pot. Teen Challenge is a model drug rehab program in America,
non-profit, no government funding, with a 93% success rate turning these lives around -
success is only thru prayer, counseling, and the individual wanting to stop being used by
the drug dealers in America! If the TOV Council really wants to understand the impact of
pot on our kids in Colorado I suggest invite Dr. Chris Thurstone, Psychiatry Department at
the University of Colorado School of Medicine, running Colorado's largest youth
substance -abuse treatment clinic, to present his findings.
For many years I have written and appeared in public to attempt to stop both medical and
recreational marijuana in Eagle County. My final thought is how people of good
moral ethics and safety concerns serving the public on the TOV Council could even
consider adding more pot shops to our ski community. Pot cannot ever be compared to
alcohol - alcohol is controlled and tested by the federal government. A marijuana joint is
30% to 40% THC, 90% Hash oil in edibles, seldom tested for poisonous chemicals,
smoked odorless in 90% oil PENNvapes, and in 2014 THC contributed in taking the lives
of three local male adults and one out of state female visitor to Eagle County.
If -the TOV Council joins Eagle Town and the Eagle BoCC in supporting pot shops in Vail
fully understand that it is about the revenue and not our community public safety or
sending the correct message to our kids!

MARIJUANA
Moment of truth for medical marijuana
By The Denver Post Editorial Board.

POSTED: 06?2812015 05 00,00 PM MDT
UPDATED: 06/30/2015 08:36:05 AM MDT MEDICAL MARIJUANA PROPONENTS ARGUE THE RESULTS DON'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY BECAUSE OF FEDERAL
BARRIERS TO LEGITIMATE RESEARCH THAT MAY BE TRUE BOTH THE STATE AND FEDS SHOULD SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE MORE RESEARCH SO
DECISIONS AROUND MEDICAL POT CAN BE. GUIDED BY HIGH-QUALITY EVIDENCE
With so little scientific evidence that medical marijuana does what it is purported to do, it may be
time to retire the medical model — at least in states like Colorado where marijuana can be legally
purchased by any adult.
A recently released comprehensive review of dozens of clinical trials on medical marijuana found
scant reliable evidence to support the drug's use for all but a handful of maladies.
Medical marijuana proponents argue the results don't tell the whole story because of federal barriers
to legitimate research. That may be true. Both the state and feds should support and encourage more
research so decisions around medical pot can be guided by high-quality evidence.
Nor do we discount the sincerity of the many personal testimonials regarding medical pot across a
range of conditions.
Nonetheless, an editorial by Yale University physicians that accompanied the study in the Journal of
the American Medical Association pointed out that states have generally approved medical marijuana
use by relying on "low -quality scientific evidence, anecdotal reports, individual testimonials,
legislative initiatives and public opinion."
Imagine if other drugs were approved this way, said the editorial, observing that medical marijuana
fails to meet the standards of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for most conditions.
Critics have long suspected that medical claims were mostly a ruse to legalize weed. If that is not the
case, then medical pot should be able to prove its efficacy through the same research methods as every
other medicine.
This JAMA review of 79 trials involving nearly 6,500 patients concluded medical pot helped with
specific pain syndromes and spasticity from multiple sclerosis. But there was poor evidence it is good
for other conditions that make up most medical marijuana programs. And meanwhile, patients
suffered side effects with disturbing frequency.
Colorado is spending money on its own research. And the Obama administration has lifted some
barriers to federal studies. However, if research continues to find pot is useless for many of the
maladies for which it is used, states will want to revisit the extent of their support for it.
Colorado's Amendment 20, which legalized medical marijuana in 2000, HAS several "debilitating
medical conditions" — such as glaucoma — for which there is still apparently little or no good
evidence of a true benefit. And while it would be extremely difficult to change the measure, that
doesn't mean the possibility shouldn't be discussed.

Colorado Adult Marijuana
Use Now Almost Double
the National Average
Denver is home to the most number of marijuana stores -
and leads the state with 18.5% of adults as current users
(DENVER, CO) - A new statewide study funded by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment found that
13.6% of Colorado adults are regular users of marijuana - almost double the rate (7.4%) of the entire country, according to
recent Health and Human Services studies. 1 in 5 marijuana users in the state also reported driving after using marijuana.
"This study shows once again that legalization promotes marijuana use and worsens its consequences," stated SAM
President Kevin Sabet. "According to state estimates of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, adult use has risen in
Colorado almost 20% since 2012 (10.4% v. 12.9%). If we are to use this new, Colorado state generated data, adult use has
risen by even more than that."
"Marijuana legalization and commercialization is a failed policy and this new report details the impact on many of our
populations already impacted by alcohol and tobacco use," said Bob Doyle, Chair of Colorado SAM and a public health
professional with more than 20 years of experience in tobacco prevention.
Highlights of the survey included:
• 1 in 3 users are daily users
• Black adults in Colorado are using at almost 50% higher than the state average for adults; Hispanics have the
lowest use rates
• Low income Colorado adults are using at higher rates than the state average
• Almost a third of 18-24 year olds are using marijuana
• Almost a third of gay and lesbian adults are using marijuana - more than twice the state average for adults
• Almost 1 in five reported driving after using marijuana
"The marijuana industry is getting rich while our communities, healthcare system, employers, and families pay the costs,"
Doyle added.

Subject: Vail's ban on marijuana
Dear Town Council,
I am writing to encourage you to give final approval to the ordinance to extend the town's temporary ban on
retail marijuana sales in Vail.
This ban should stay in place to allow more information to be gathered and extensive research should be done to
study the impact marijuana sales would have in Vail. Our lodges, police department, and merchants should all
be in this research.
I am definitely against allowing the sale of marijuana in Vail as I feel it has had a negative impact in Aspen
and Breckenridge. If a person wants to purchase marijuana, there are ample stores close by that can satisfy that
purchase. We do not need it in the town of Vail!

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
MEETING DATE: July 7, 2015
ITEM/TOPIC: Ordinance No. 9, Series of 2015, First Reading, an Ordinance establishing
deadlines for the circulation and filing of candidate nomination petitions for the November 3,
2015 Regular Town Election
PRESENTER(S): Patty McKenny, Town Clerk
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
Town Council will consider an Ordinance which would revise nomination petition circulation
dates from August to September and address the mailing and receipt of ballots from active
military or overseas voters.
BACKGROUND:
Title 31 election law changes from the passage of HB 15-1130 revised the nomination petition
circulation dates to August instead of September. This ordinance, if adopted, would set forth
the original nomination petition circulation dates which were beginning on the fiftieth day prior
to election day nd ending on the thirtieth day before the election (September 14 through
October 2).
ATTACHMENTS:
2015 Election Memorandum
Ordinance No. 9, Series of 2015
7/7/2015
Memorandum
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Patty McKenny, Town Clerk
Date: July 1, 2015
Subject: November Election Administration — 2015 Legislative Update to Title 31, Municipal
Elections
In May, the Town Council decided to have a non -coordinated polling place election for the upcoming
November election. Such elections are governed by Title 31 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. On
May 27, 2015, the Governor signed HB 15-1130, which amended several sections of Title 31. The
purpose of HB 15-1130 was to provide overseas military voters with additional time to return their
ballots by mail in municipal elections.
Under HB 15-1130, the timeframe for candidate nomination petitions is far earlier. The new timeline to
circulate a petition begins August 4 and ends August 24 (between 91 and 71 days prior to the
election). The former circulation dates were September 14 through October 2 (between 50 and 30
days prior to the election).
In addition, under HB 15-1130, the Town must allow for the receipt of overseas military ballots for eight
days after Election Day, so the deadline for the canvass and certification of the election has been
moved to 10 days after Election Day, which is November 13 (formerly November 10).
The Town Council has two options: (1) take no action, so the new August petition circulation dates
would remain in place; (2) adopt an ordinance changing the petition circulation dates back to
September 14 through October 2, based on the Town's authority as a home rule municipality. The
ordinance option would not allow as much time for overseas military voters to return ballots.
To be effective in time, Ordinance No 9, Series of 2015, is presented for first reading and will be
presented again on July 21 for second reading.
