TOWN Of VA L l COMMISSION September 14, 2015, 1:00 PM
Vail Town Council
Chambers
75 S Frontage Road W - Vail, Colorado
Call to Order
Members Present: Henry Pratt, Brian Gillette, John Rediker, Webb Martin, Kirk
Hansen, John Ryan Lockman
Members Absent: Dick Cleveland
2. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for the adoption of the
Strategic Plan for Water Quality Improvements on Gore Creek. (PEC150027)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Kristen Bertuglia
Action: Table to October 12, 2015
Motion: Rediker Second: Hansen Vote: 6-0 (Cleveland absent)
Kristen Bertuglia made a presentation as per the staff memorandum. Kristen introduced
the town's water quality consultant, Seth Mason of Lotic-Hydrological.
Seth presented the draft Strategic Plan to the commission as per the information
provided in the packet.
Commissioner Gillette asked why the high priority projects were more geared toward
infiltration and not stopping the pollutants. He also asked if there was a way the town
could ban specific pesticides.
Seth clarified that there are few site specific projects as a result of the geography. To
be effective and reduce most of the impact, it is best to move from upstream to
downstream. Seth also clarified that because of the Colorado Pesticide Applicators Act
the town is limited and does not have the ability to ban specific product use. The town
can enforce the use of the pesticide to ensure that it is being applied according to the
instructions on the product. There are significant legal hurdles to clear before any type
of bans can be put into place.
Commissioner Rediker asked about the impact of some of the regulations
recommended and how do they connect to the reduction of pollutants and can this be
measured?
Seth responded that the regulations can reduce the number of pollutants being
transported and make a significant change in the health of the river.
Commissioner Hansen asked for comments on the 303D list as he attempted to access
this information online. How long has this list been in place and is the terminology
"impacted" a technical term for the list? Who compiles the list and how often is it
updated? Commissioner Hansen also asked if other mountain communities similar to
Vail are listed as well.
Seth responded that the 303(d) list is compiled through the Water Quality Assessment
Report. He did clarify that this list does list rivers/streams as "impaired" and they do use
this term as a regulatory term. The list is updated every 2 years by the Colorado
Department of Public Health & Environment. The town is on the list due to the reduction
of macro -invertebrates in the river. There are other communities similar to Vail that are
listed and have very similar problems with aquatic life degradation.
Commissioner Pratt inquired as to the time limit to remove Gore Creek from the 303(d)
list. Has the state implemented any state regulations? What are they?
Seth responded that it is expected to take 10-15 years to implement changes and
reduce impairments. This is not a list that has been in place very long which makes it
difficult to acquire this information. We recommend that the town retain local control
before the state comes in and regulates and they tell you how you should deal with the
impairments. More control locally.
Seth introduced Tambi Katieb to discuss the top 20 recommended actions of the
Strategic Plan.
Commissioner Rediker inquired as to the predevelopment planning and review process.
Are you specifically construction activity or storm water management controls after
construction of the site?
Tambi replied that this is focused more on the concept level site management pre -
development site planning.
Commissioner Hansen asked how deep each priority has been reviewed and is there a
budget in place to move forward with the recommendations.
Kristen responded that each priority has been reviewed and budget has been
recommended to the Town Council for review & adoption.
Greg Hall, Public Works Director, clarified that the budget for these projects has been
submitted through the 5 year capital and RETT programs. The Council will be reviewing
these site specific projects over the next several meetings.
Commissioner Gillette finds it hard to make a recommendation when you make very
broad statements. Asked how the commission is expected to evaluate these actions
when they are so broad?
Commissioner Pratt clarified that this is just a step in the process. The
recommendations presented are not code specific and those recommendations will
have to come back to the commission for review & recommendation.
Commissioner Gillette feels that the plan is a bit premature when the town hasn't dealt
with the pollutants yet and that this plan is addressing only half of the problem.
Tambi responded that there is a recommendation to remove the pollutants and the use
of the pollutants. These need significant review internally and legally.
Commissioner Gillette asked if the commission's job is to include additional items into
the priority list. Why is this not listed in high priority? What do we need to do to get a
legal review so we can understand why we can't ban or eliminate certain pollutants?
Kristen responded that the PEC can certainly identify other priorities within its
recommendation to the Town Council.
Commissioner Pratt commented that the plan is heavy on regulation, outreach &
management. Would like to see more mitigation of pollutant pathways, especially those
coming off of 1-70, in addition to the show projects with stream bank restoration
throughout the town.
Greg Hall clarified that some items are not on the priority list because some of the
projects are already in process. The town is working directly with CDOT regarding
some of the highway issues and the town is already beginning some of these projects
that are not on the priority list.
Commissioner Rediker asked if we are doing a full ERI review for all properties within
or adjacent to the streamtract. What guidelines are we using? State/Federal? ERI more
oriented to projects that may have a larger scale impact on the stream vs. FONSI
process for smaller projects and/or impacts on the stream.
Kristen responded that the ERI review is only currently triggered by staff. We have no
clear guidelines in our town code. We use state & federal guidelines. Will need to
review and increase.
Commissioner Gillette inquired as to what projects in town have been reviewed?
Greg Hall indicated that the Spraddle Creek Subdivision had a full environmental
review prior to approval. Some smaller projects that have been reviewed for water
quality include Solaris, WMC, Safeway, and City Market. Need to make more focused
& prescriptive regulations on water quality.
Commissioner Pratt indicated that education & outreach should have a very high
priority so land owners & developers understand what the regulations are.
Commissioner Gillette asked how the town is handling existing encroachments. Some
encroachments exist through the sale of a property and the new owner is not
responsible for creating the encroachment.
Kristen responded that each encroachment is reviewed individually for solutions. We
have worked with homeowners who have not put in the encroachments and we split the
costs of removing the encroachment or worked with them to remove the encroachment
and by not mowing the area, etc.
Commissioner Martin asked if areas throughout town are identified.
Kristen stated that all areas of town are identified and current.
Commissioner Rediker stated that education and outreach is a very important
component. How much consideration was given to prioritizing education & outreach on
the use of pesticides & herbicides. Why is that not a high priority?
Kristen stated that this is going to have to be an ongoing priority to provide this
information to our homeowners.
Commissioner Gillette asked if anyone has reviewed the use of the pesticides &
herbicides at the golf course.
Seth responded that there has been a review of golf course maintenance practices and
they certainly have the opportunity to be a large contributor to the degradation. They
are very focused on limiting the amount of chemicals they do apply to the golf course
and is part of their on-going certification. Limited opportunity for large improvements on
the golf course since they are already limiting what they are using. There are more
natural ways of controlling pests & applying fertilizer. Adds a lot to the cost of
maintenance.
Seth commented that if the town really wants to tackle this in a comprehensive way,
you will need to implement as many of the 217 action items as possible. Not just focus
on the top 20 to see measureable improvements.
Commissioner Gillette asked about the site specific projects. How many are on private
vs. public. What are the estimates on the design? Only projects that were important
over a period of time?
Greg Hall stated that $6 million is requested for storm water and $2 million for
restoration of the riparian areas. This is for all public & private projects and only for
projects that will make an impact to stream health. We are looking at a 5-8 year time
frame for completion.
Commissioner Pratt opened the meeting to public comment.
Kristy Hintz cannot see how we can have a plan that doesn't identify CDOT. How does
the highway not have an impact on the health of the stream? CDOT is asking for
enlarged chain up areas. Additionally they were a property that had encroachments and
they have been in compliance for the past 3 years. Since they have stopped trimming
the berm and weeding they have been inundated with noxious weeds. Now have to
start spraying lawn because of noxious weeds. They have asked the town for
assistance of the noxious weeds along the stream tract and the town sent someone to
spray the weeds. Not sure how much more can they be in compliance. Personal
experience within this program has not been positive.
Mary Lapin stated that he is pleased that PEC and the town are taking on this project.
He asked that the plan also consider the feeder creeks such as Middle Creek and Mill
Creek. Each one has specific problems that contribute to problems within Gore Creek.
Mil Creek running off of Vail Mountain is a huge source of problems. Also believes that
by not allowing anything to occur within the 50' of the high water mark. Regulation is
written from 50' from center line of stream. Where this is a problem is areas of Gore
Creek where the creek is over 100' wide so there is no protected area. Change this
regulation for all properties within Gore Creek & feeder creeks. We have been allowing
buildings and impervious surfaces to be built too close to the creek
Jonathan Stauffer is appalled that we have moved from a gold medal creek to an
impaired creek. I appreciate the time put into this plan and ask that the commission
move with haste to get this plan into action. It has taken some time to get here and it's
going to take a while to clean this up. If people understand what the town is doing and
why, they will get behind this. Agrees that there is a need to get Matt Mire involved
finding out what we can do to prohibit the use of specific chemicals, etc. We can just
focus on what we can't do. Suggests additional funding sources or grant program for
private property owners to come into compliance. This may allow for more expedient
clean-up.
Jim Lamont believes we are missing a step. Prioritization is one thing, sequencing is
another. When the state moved to place gore creek on the impaired list, it initially was
in East Vail. However, they did list the entire stream as impaired. How often and to
what degree the testing is completed? When we truly understand where the outfall
points are, which are point sources of pollution, move to clean these up first and adopt
policies that conform to the agreed upon remediation approach so we build support
throughout the community that we are taking steps in the most hazardous areas 1St. If
those areas bring us into compliance, than maybe no further action is required with the
exception of regulation & maintenance. Comfortable with the intensity of data provided
& believes that it is good that the town cleans up its own properties & restores its own
properties. If we go too far too fast, we will lose the authority & support from property
owners in general. Regulatory should be universal and how we reach that needs to be
flushed out. Most residents feel the highway is the source of the problem and not the
pervious infiltrations.
Commissioner Lockman stated that this was a great presentation. Asked how far does
the commission get into each of these priorities? Overall believes the rules &
regulations can be pretty effective and can have lasting impacts to community. When is
the onus on the developer? Storm water management plan in terms of predevelopment
management. Hard to get to the 20 from 217, recommend to council to approve.
Commissioner Hansen is impressed with the process and leadership provided to move
this forward. Not surprised that with the amount of activity that there have been some
problems. Specific goal is the strategic action plan and helping to formulate this plan.
The need to identify the most impactful correction elements for the 303(d) but what is
also the right thing to do. Be specific as to what the problems are, measurable & timely.
CDOT & Forest Service need to be on the action plan committee because they are part
of the problem and they need to be part of the solution.
Commissioner Rediker stated that he likes the list of priority action plans and would like
to see it modified slightly. Would like to see the list expanded from 20 to 25 items. We
have studied Gore Creek enough to understand that this is a multifaceted problem and
that there isn't a single contributor. Would like to see added to the list: addressing
pesticide/herbicide through rules & regulations or through education & outreach;
understanding that there is a study identifying point sources completed regulating
discharges/eliminating discharges; coordinating with CDOT in identifying their activities
and their impacts on Gore Creek.
Commissioner Martin thanked everyone for all of the work so far. He would like to see a
list of all projects underway and collaboration with CDOT already moving forward. This
information needs to be included with part of the education and outreach. Expand the
list a bit and add: elevate private property education/outreach. Happy to move forward
and recommend to town council.
Commissioner Gillette stated that he felt that the plan is confusing. The list should be
broader and not so specific. Without the plan we are already moving forward with
projects on public properties. Instead of site specific items, make it broader by
recommending adoption of the Public Works budget that takes care of these issues.
Best management for staff on town projects; code analysis -what is contrary to
protecting the creek and what can we add/change to protect the creek;
education/outreach; need to have legal review so we have a better understanding for
removing pollutants. Is it really impossible? If we can do something, it should be part of
this plan; testing should also be high priority. How will we know if this is effective? Get
rid of specific 20 and come back with a more broad action plan.
Commissioner Pratt agrees with attacking the low hanging fruit first. Sounds like
problem originates in East Vail and sources are highway & spraying of trees. We need
to have regular monitoring, serve to balance out flows (high/low). Add already initiated
projects to list. If we can't control the pesticide product, maybe we can control the
timing and application.
Staff will bring this plan back to the PEC with answers and adjustments to the priority
list. Staff will also look to provide more background on the pesticide use and a legal
understanding.
3. A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for an amendment to the
Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, pursuant to Section 2.8, Adoption and
Amendment of the Master Plan, Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan, to amend the
Detailed Plan Recommendations for the Evergreen Lodge at Vail, located at 250 South
Frontage Road West/Lot 2W, Block 1, Vail Lionshead Filing 2, and setting forth details
in regard thereto. (PEC140044)
Applicant: Evergreen Lodge at Vail, represented by Mauriello Planning Group
Planner: George Ruther
Action: Table to September 28, 2015
Motion: Gillette Second: Hansen Vote: 5-0 (Cleveland absent, Pratt
absent 4:20)
George Ruther made a presentation as per the staff memorandum and specifically
questions asked by the commission at the previous meeting.
George addressed that the applicant is specifically requesting changes only to Chapter
5 of the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. This chapter does get into the site
specific properties within the Master Plan area. The detailed recommendations include:
Traffic circulation & vehicular access, Pedestrian Connections, Architecture & Physical
Design, and Relationship to Surrounding Buildings, Public Transit, Service & Delivery,
and Building Height & Mass.
Dominic Mauriello and Sharon Cohn, representing the developer, reviewed specific
questions asked at a previous meeting. Review of language section by section was
reviewed as per staff memorandum.
Commission Gillette asked if it would be best to remove the modifications to section
5.19.3 as it is covered in section 4 and utilize the live bed definition
Dominic stated that the applicant would love to remove this section. However we are
willing to work with these constraints and guarantee that development of hotel rooms
will occur.
Commission Pratt feels uncomfortable with the increase in dwelling units and decrease
in accommodation units. Not comfortable with the specific numbers.
Dominic stated that the current language in the code does allow for these changes.
Commissioner Rediker asked why the language was struck regarding the live bed
definition instead of just striking the language regarding square footage. These are
radical departures from what the language states today.
Dominic stated that the applicant has no problem with adjusting the sentence to
accommodate what we are trying to do as well as guaranteeing that the provisions of
the plan are met. Also a large departure from what is allowed on the property today.
Commissioner Rediker asked if there is anywhere else that we see the GRFA listed in
other areas.
George responded that you will see reference to GRFA in the fractional fee units &
fractional fee development.
Dominic agreed that there needs to be modifications to section 5.19.3 and they will be
brought back to the commission.
Commissioner Pratt departed the meeting at 4:20pm.
Commissioner Rediker opened the floor for public comment.
Jim Lamont stated that a copy of the questions proposed at the last meeting was
provided to the board. Believes there is additional information that needs to be
provided. Urge members of the board to review the latest information from the urban
land institute on the sustainable tourism. Through this update, Jim took away that we
are not providing enough parking and that this is an extremely important opportunity not
to miss. Jim feels that the town needs to look at our current infrastructure before we
look at any modifications to this plan. We are not meeting the standard today for
sustainable tourism, how will we meet it later. We have other things to look at besides
the development potential of the Evergreen Hotel.
Commissioner Gillette would like to see more concrete information from Mr. Lamont.
He had no additional questions & comments on the presentation.
Commissioner Martin comments stand so far with pedestrian access, north south
pedestrian access is important, Lot 10 is an issue for council as to what they want to
do. Generally the language on the existing accommodation units could be changed.
Commissioner Hansen agrees with Commissioner Martins comments. Generally
acceptable to suggested recommendations.
Commissioner Lockman appreciates Mr. Lamont's comments with regard to future
developments of other sites. Preservation of accommodation units is important.
Otherwise so good so far with the modifications to the plan.
Commissioner Rediker has no major issues with most of the recommendation.
Language needs to be tweaked in section 5.19.3 to preserve unit counts. Appreciate
infrastructure comments and comments on Vail's growth and the concerns about
providing safe environment for guests. Is there a real impact on the number of cars
parked or how dangerous it is going to become should we approve this plan as it is
presented?
Commissioner Martin departed the meeting at 4:40pm. Commissioner Pratt returned to
the meeting at this time.

From: Will Hentschel —359 Design Project: TOV Municipal Building
Subject: Town of Vail Municipal Building Analysis o89263.5
The Existing Town of Vail Municipal Site includes the Community Development Building, the Town of Vail
Municipal Building, the Vail Police Department, associated parking & The Town of Vail Recycling Center.
Immediately adjacent on the West is the Vail Medical Center Helipad. The site can be accessed from South
Frontage Road at three locations — East, Central and West. All entrances access parking for the 3 buildings, with
the central location providing the largest amount of parking on the site.
The Current Community Development building is one Story , Totaling 6,326 sq ft. It currently houses the
Community Development Departments and Economic Development. In its current state it also has 2 conference
rooms.
The Existing Municipal Building is two stories totaling, 11,333 sq ft. It currently is home to the Town
Administration, Marketing, Finance, Municipal Court, Human Resources, IT and City Council Chambers. There is
also a shared conference room and an information Desk. The Municipal Building is physically connected to the
police building, providing immediate access to the Police Information Desk.
The existing police building, in all schemes is planned to remain as is.
Total Surface Parking spaces on the site total 77 Spaces. These spaces serve the current building functions.
The Analysis has focused on cataloging the existing inventory and examining/planning the existing floor plans to
accommodate a spatial program performed for the Town of Vail in 2012. This program was the result of
interviews with the then department heads to determine the required office, conference and building services
spaces for a future municipal building. The program areas were based on the GSA Best Practices for Office
Planning. These metrics are currently valid.
There are two options contemplated. Both options include vacating the existing community development
building. The existing Municipal Building would be reconfigured to accommodate the various town programs by
adding space & footprint to the building. The options can be summarized as the following:
Scheme 1
Option 1
Additional of 7,200 sq ft to the existing municipal building with 1,200 sq ft of new building footprint at 3
stories and a 3,600 sq ft addition over the existing building footprint at 2 stories. The new building
would total 18,333 sq ft.
• Existing Community Development Building future to be determined
• Council Chambers to be reconfigured within the renovated Municipal Building

DESIGN
• Initial Parking Studies have been calculated, however, additional research will need to be done to fully
determine the site capabilities to accommodate all programs and a revised function of the community
development building.
• A Street presence is defined for immediate identification from South Frontage Road for Town of Vail
Information and Services
• All departments can be contained in the renovated and additional areas of the building. Under the
previous programming, some conference and extra storage space would not be included in this design.
Option 2
• Additional of 5,400 sq ft to the existing municipal building with 1,200 sq ft of new building footprint at 3
stories and an 1,800 sq ft addition over the existing building footprint. The new building would total
16,733 sq ft.
• Existing Community Development Building future to be determined
• Council Chambers would utilize an off site location form Public Meetings
• Initial Parking Inventory should accommodate the reconfiguration of the departments, however, further
study is required.
• A Street presence is defined for immediate identification from South Frontage Road for Town of Vail
Information and Services
• All departments, except Town Council spaces can be contained in the renovated and additional areas of
the building. Under the previous programming, some conference and extra storage space would not be

Memorandum
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: September 15, 2015
SUBJECT: Draft 2016 Town Manager's Budget
I. SUMMARY
A follow up review of the 2016 Town Manager's budget proposal
II. DISCUSSION
The purpose of this review is to provide feedback to staff in preparation for the first reading of
the 2016 Budget scheduled for October 6th. Council members: please note that the
attached budget fund statements and other worksheets have not been changed since the
last meeting, so please refer to your binders from the September 1St meeting. The repeat
worksheets have been included again for public information.
The following are responses relating to Council's questions during the first look at the
budget on September 1 St:
Contributions
Council requested more information regarding the $50,000 request from Castle Peak Senior
Center to help offset increased construction costs and the impact to the finished product such
as furnishings, patio covers, nurse -call system, among other items. Representatives from
Augustana Care plan to attend the September 15 work session to address any questions or
concerns.
Council also asked for additional information on the $150,000 funding request from the Eagle
Air Alliance. Please see the attached memo from the Eagle Air Alliance which responds to
specific questions asked by Council.
The Vail Valley Foundation's request for $175,000 for an expansion of the Bird's of Prey event
into Vail (including a Legend's event at Gold Peak and a large concert at Solaris) is included as
an attachment for further discussion due to a split vote on September 1St. This event will take
place in December 2015 and is an off cycle request which would require Council's approval
prior to the budget supplemental in December.
Regarding the $150,000 funding request from Walking Mountains, Council requested more
information on the Sustainable Travel International Contract ($60K) and the marketing contract
with Vermillion ($50K). Specifically, Council wanted to learn more about the return on
investment (ROI) and a report on the participation from Vail businesses in the Actively Green
9/15/2015
program. Please see the attached presentation on the Sustainably Green program. The
remaining $40,000 of funding for the continuation of the Actively Green program for Vail
businesses is currently included in the RETT budget proposal.
The level of funding for the Education and Enrichment category of Council Contributions has
been proposed at $150,000 by the Commission on Special Events (CSE) with a staff
recommendation of $94,554 (3% increase from the prior year). Council had questions during
the initial review of the proposed budget, which were discussed at the September 2nd CSE
meeting with responses included in the attached memo from the CSE.
Capital Projects Fund
Council requested more information on the proposed Vail Interactive Map for mobile devices
and kiosks ($200K) regarding the potential for already -existing products that could be used
rather than creating on our own. While staff would put out an RFP for this project, there is a
company that has a similar offering. Joe Cleary with Resort App has a product that contains all
Vail businesses which he updates seasonally; the town would add a map feature. Resort App
did an application for the Vail Valley Foundation for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships
that was successful and well -used by guests. Other "apps" invested in by the town include a
$6,000 "test" hiking and biking map app, but that did not move forward based on results of the
product testing. Otherwise the Vail Local Marketing District participates in "m.vail.com" as the
mobile site for vail.com.
Council directed staff to come back with more information regarding the $500K contribution
requested for the Colorado Ski Museum renovation, specifically, the status of fundraising efforts
and the amount being spent on exhibits versus construction costs. Staff met with both Susie
Tjossem and Bill Jensen to talk about the project and learned that the museum has been
working with the architect and contractor to firm up design and construction costs prior to
approaching potential donors. Also, the museum is agreeable to the town's contribution being
the "last in" for dollars spent on the project, and the town's participation would only fund
improvements to the building (construction), not exhibits or interior finishes.
Council reviewed the memo from Public Works regarding the pursuit of alternative fuel methods
for the transit department and directed staff to not move forward at this time.
RETT Fund
Council directed staff to research the cost to pave Betty Ford Alpine Way with pavers rather
than the current asphalt. Currently this project has not been put out to bid but is competitively
proposed by two contractors for $700,000 and contains a 20% contingency. A 20% contingency
is included to account for uncertainty in construction costs as this is a 2016 project. This project
is currently listed on the "unfunded" projects list.

Construction of Castle Peak Senior Care Community is underway! Augustana Care is deeply
appreciative of the financial support the Town of Vail has provided to the "Making Our Community
Whole" capital campaign to build the Castle Peak Senior Care Community ("CPSCC") in Eagle,
Colorado. Because of your support and the generosity of others, Castle Peak Senior Care
Community will play an important role in the lives of Eagle County residents.
Since our last update letter to you and the Town Council, we encountered widespread rapidly
increasing construction costs as the construction contractor (the Weitz Company) was engaged and
sub -contractor bids obtained. As you are aware, Eagle County has seen these costs rise as much as
25% in the past year. Through redesigning certain aspects of the project, decreasing the overall
square footage from 62,000 to approximately 59,000, and negotiating and securing contributions
from the Weitz Company and sub -contractors we have been able to hold the increase in
construction costs to 11%.
To fund the overall increase in costs from the original budget of $22,767,000 to the revised
projected budget of $24,962,000 (please see Attachment A for Source and Use of Funds), the
following has been secured:
• the USDA Rural Development Loan Program agreed to an increase in financing of
$500,000,
• Eagle County increased its subordinated debt by $645,000, and
• Augustana Care increased its subordinated debt by $700,000.
This has left a remaining funding need of$350,000 to be raised from community sources.
This shortfall needs to be satisfied in order to completely furnish common areas, address
transportation needs, provide adequate weather protection for residents, etc. Please see Attachment
B for examples of these items. Of this amount, we have already secured $56,000 in individual
donations leaving a shortfall of $294,000. We hope the Town of Vail will consider assisting us with
an additional contribution of $50,000 to reach the funding needed.
We would welcome an opportunity to discuss this request further with you and the Town Council.
If you wish, we would like to have Mery Lapin and Lisa Pease meet with you either prior to August
24th or after September 14`h. We greatly appreciate your consideration of our request.

Attachment B - Funding Needs
July 2015
As a result of significant increases in construction costs and fees since Castle Peak's original
budget was projected, an additional $350,000 is needed to augment the experience of residents,
patients, family members and friends. The following information is provided as examples of how
these funds will make a significant difference to everyone at Castle Peak.
1. Furnishings, fixtures & equipment (FFE) budget shortfall $200,000
The FFE budget includes everything needed to make Castle Peak a welcoming community
experience. Budget items range from salt and pepper shakers to mattresses to the health care
center's nurse call system. A robust call -system costs $150,000, nearly 11% of what is
currently allocated for FFE, which also includes the following items:
a. Handicap accessible bus
$65,000
Castle Peak's primary funder, the USDA, requires that we provide consistent, easily -
accessible transportation. If adequate funding is not raised to purchase a new bus, we
may need to rent a bus or buy a used bus, which may affect the reliability of our
transportation.
b. Exercise equipment for fitness room
$15,000
Contributions are needed to equip the fitness room. The room could remain empty
until adequate funds are available.
c. Outdoor furniture for patios
$35,000
Without additional funding, furnishing the patios will be delayed indefinitely.
d. Common -area furnishings throughout Castle Peak
$14,550
Sofas, coffee tables, chairs and other furniture will be scarce in common areas
without adequate funding.
2. Weather -protection canopy for entrance to assisted living $100,000
If adequate contributions are not received, a 30 -foot canopy needed to cover the long
walkway leading from the parking area to the building entrance will not be affordable.
Without the 30 -foot canopy, residents and guests could be exposed to inclement weather
conditions and become damp or drenched when entering the building.
3. Workforce development
$50,000
We anticipate the need to hire staff with limited or no experience working with older
adults and individuals with dementia. Additional funds will enable Augustana Care to
provide more comprehensive training as we start to serve Castle Peak residents.

MEMORANDUM
To: The Vail Town Council
CC: Kathleen Halloran, Kelli McDonald
From: Michael Brown, EGE Air Alliance and Chris Romer, Vail Valley Partnership
Re: 2016 Budget Questions
The EGE Air Alliance recently submitted 2016 funding requests to our partners, including
municipalities and special districts, in our efforts to raise $700,000 to fund continued winter
service from Toronto, continued summer service from Houston, and new winter service (2016-
17) from Oakland and Charlotte. Complete details including costs and estimated ROI's are
included in the funding request.
We sincerely thank the Town of Vail for its invaluable participation in the EGE Air Alliance.
We also understand that the Town of Vail had some specific questions after initial review of the
2016 funding request. We are pleased to answer these questions below:
1. What are the existing program results?
A: Houston flight: +9% increase in load factor
2015: 3,822 total passengers, 68.6% load factor
2014: 3,505 total passengers, 62.9% load factor.
Toronto flight: 3.8% increase in load factor
2015: 1,454 total passengers, 82.1% load factor
2014: 1,430 total passengers, 79.1% load factor.
The United summer Houston flight began service in 2013 with a contractual revenue cap
of $400,000. The full amount was paid in that year. In 2014, the cap was increased to
$445,000, based in part upon the prior year performance and loss incurred by United
Airlines. However, due to improved load factor and overall performance of the Houston
flight in 2014, the Air Alliance paid $265,000 of this guaranty. For 2015, the revenue
cap was lowered to just over $384,000. Although we will not know the overall results of
the 2015 flight until October, our initial data suggests that we will hopefully pay no more
than $265,000 of the guaranty, and that we may pay less than this. For now, however, we
are projecting to pay at least $265,000 of the 2015 cap.
Regarding the Air Canada winter Toronto flight, this began in 2014 as an agreement
among Air Canada and Eagle County with financial support from the Town of Vail. At
that time, the guaranty cap was set at $125,000 (Canadian) and this amount was paid in
full in 2015. In 2015 the EGE Air Alliance agreed to work with Air Canada to negotiate
and oversee this flight in. As of this writing, we are still working with Air Canada on a
final revenue cap for the winter of 2015 and 2016. However, we believe that - due to
9/15/2015
expected, improved performance of the flight - this year's cap will be set at no more than
$86,000 Canadian, which equates to less than $70,000 US dollars.
2. Administrative cost and oversight
A: The EGE Board of Governors oversees all paid administrative partners, each of whom
provides specific business functions to and for the EGE Air Alliance. The Alliance's
primary administrative partners include:
The Vail Valley Partnership, which provides basic administrative, communication
and marketing functions.
Magellan Strategies, which provides additional marketing and community
outreach services. Magellan has also conducted annual surveys of Eagle County
residents to gauge awareness and support for the Alliance's efforts.
RRC Associates, which administers the Alliance's winter and summer intercept
studies at the Eagle County Regional Airport.
Stevens, Littman, Biddison, Tharp & Weinberg, LLC, providing legal services to
the EGE Air Alliance.
The EGE Air Alliance also works closely with other partners who provide services at no
cost to the Alliance, including Vail Resorts, the Eagle County Airport, Campbell Hill
Aviation and Marchetti & Weaver, LLC.
3. Who handles the bank account?
A: The EGE board oversees all bank accounts through its treasurer, secretary and
chairperson. Furthermore, Marchetti & Weaver, LLC monitors and reconciles all accounts
and ledger items on a monthly basis.
4. Who professionally manages the relationships with the airlines?
A: The Vail Resorts airline marketing team, Eagle County Regional Airport management,
and Campbell Hill Aviation manage airline relationships on behalf of the Alliance. Each
of these entities provides these services at no cost to the Alliance, ensuring that the vast
majority of the funding efforts are dedicated to flight service guarantees.
The EGE Air Alliance board of directors is the ultimate authority for consideration and
execution of both flight opportunities as well as all related revenue guarantees and
contracts. However, the board currently relies equally upon three partners for flight
opportunities. Campbell Hill Aviation Group, LLC, which works directly with the EGE
Regional Airport and the EGE Air Alliance, provides consulting services to both airports
and the aviation industry. Campbell Hill has developed an independent strategic plan that
the EGE Air Alliance is using to help guide our efforts. Additional research,
recommendations and duties - including direct negotiations with the various airlines - are
also performed by Greg Phillips of the Eagle County Regional Airport, as well as by
Gabe Shalley of Vail Resorts.
9/15/2015
5. Who are the guarantee checks written to?
A: Minimum Revenue Guarantee program contracts are between the Alliance and the
individual airlines. Any payout per the contract terms is made from the Alliance to the
airline. This is done only after examination and reconciliation of the results.
6. Why can't we use the Aspen model and just pay for marketing instead of flight
guarantees?
A: A variety of factors are at play here, including location and distance from Interstate -70 and
Denver International Airport, airport/airplane limitations, and our historic decision to
mitigate our risk with a minimum revenue guarantee versus pursuing a marketing
agreement where the funds are guaranteed to be spent.
7. How was the amount requested of the Town of Vail derived? Why does it differ from
amounts requested from other partners, such as Beaver Creek?
A: Our public partner funding requests for 2016 are based on the estimated economic impacts
as outlined in the intercept study. The new flight markets in the proposal (Oakland,
Charlotte) are estimated to bring in 6,240 new passengers through the Eagle County
Regional Airport. Based on the RRC Associates intercept study, the Town of Vail receives
57.5% of visitor spending ($2,134 per guest) from EGE guests. The estimated economic
impact to the Town of Vail as a direct result of the new flight markets (Oakland and
Charlotte) is estimated to equal $7,656,792. Beaver Creek receives 30% of visitor spending
from EGE guests, and all funding requests were based on a data -driven, return -on -
investment basis.
Thank you for these questions, and we hope that we have answered them to your satisfaction.
We are available to you for additional inquiries. Again, our thanks to the Town of Vail for its
invaluable support of the EGE Air Alliance.

FIS Ski World Cup 1 _
The concept of America's Opening is to plant a
stake in the ground by declaring that Vail and _
the Vail Valley are where winter begins.
In 2015, the first week of the December will be
branded and celebrated via a collection of
existing and new events and activities to
formally kick off each ski season both
domestically and internationally.
America's Opening is the brand under which
several existing and many new initiatives will
live. These events will collectively look to draw
visitors to our community at a time that is
historically quiet, and many of the events will
have both international and national appeal,
resulting in exceptional television and media
exposure - all important in messaging to the
world that the Vail Valley is open for business
and is the place where skiing and ski racing
occur.

America's Opening is a new brand specifically designed to stretch as new

first year, America's Opening will already include many, varying

A Legends of Skiing competition will be held Thursday evening December 3. 40 of the very biggest names in skiing
history will compete under the lights in Golden Peak in Vail. A major concert and festival activities will also tie into the
Thursday night competitions. This event is currently scheduled to be broadcast as a thirty minute broadcast TV show
on NBC Sports domestically and VIA syndication in Pan Europe.
On Saturday December 5, the much loved Gorsuch Tea Dance will take place in Vail alongside the Induction Ceremony
for the Legend of Honor tied to the International Ski Hall Of Fame (see next slide).
A goal of America's Opening is to become THE "place to be." One of the ways we will achieve this is by hosting a very
high-end evening at the 10th on Dec. 5 called, "Dining with the Stars; ski legends, sports celebrities and paying guests.

INTERNATIONAL SKI HALL OF
FAME
The Vail Valley Foundation is the owner of the International Ski Hall of Fame, and annually, as part of the
American Ski Classic, for the past 25 years has inducted a new member into it. However, there has never
been a physical presence of the Hall of Fame in Vail. The VVF plans to create both a physical monument as
well as a dedicated online presence. The physical monument will be erected at the base of Vail Mountain
surrounding the sculpture, "The Edge." A website will also be created with video content of each inductee
along with vibrant descriptions of VAIL and its heritage of ski racing. Vail will now be the home of the
International Ski Hall of Fame and each year the induction ceremony will take place surrounding the
monument during America's Opening. World Cup ski racing was first conceived here in Vail and it is only
right that Vail be the hometown of the most prestigious collection of ski racers to ever grace the sport.

The Vail Valley Foundation is looking to the
Town of Vail to become an annual partner in
our quest to expand and change the way we
begin our winter season. America's
Opening is created as a long-term brand

have the power and draw to reach across
the ocean, and encourage skiers near and
far to enjoy our town.
For the 2015 event, The Vail Valley
Foundation is respectfully requesting a
cash sponsorship of $175,000 from the
Town of Vail to support this collection of
events, including the creation of the

TOWN OF ffl[i
Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Commission on Special Events (CSE)
Date: September 15, 2015
Subject: Education and Enrichment Event (EEE) funding budget for 2016 recommended in the amount of
$150,000.
Educational and Enrichment Events Defined:
Goal: Promote leadership development, intellectual opportunities and health and well-being
• Shall be part of the CSE RFP process
• Potential to build the Vail Brand as an educational and well-being destination
• Local, regional, (and when appropriate) national and international media exposure
• Economic impact may be in the future: Potential to return economic benefits as participants
share their experiences to individuals and groups within their spheres of influence
What is Vail missing? Programming such as the Vail Global Energy Forum, and like minded
symposiums, as well as artistic and theatrical programming such as that offered at the Vilar Center for the
Performing Arts in Beaver Creek.
What are our peer models?
• Aspen Institute
• Banff Centre: established in 1933 as the Banff School of Drama, Motto: "Inspiring Community"
• Davos World Economic Forum
• Vilar Center
What would the additional $50,000 buy in the category? Help grow grass roots education and
enrichment programming in the community. The original budget was based on all applications received;
second year received a 1.5% increase. However, the increase in the amount requested more than
doubled to over $200,000 in one year, once the opportunity to apply was made known to the community at
large. The CSE believes that in 2016 the increase in requests will grow similarly as the program has been
incorporated into their overall RFP and is supported by the Council's commitment to "provide an
abundance of recreational, cultural and educational opportunities."
2014-2015 Funding History: The results and specific programming of events funded in 2014 and 2015,
the two years that the CSE has been responsible for allocating this type of funding, is attached. The CSE
acknowledges that this is a very small amount of funding to accomplish larger visions. The CSE is
committed to careful evaluation of all applications in order to gain the greatest benefit for the community
from the available funding.
The scorecard developed to evaluate and compare the Educational and Enrichment Event applications is
also attached. The CSE believes that this category will begin to have greater traction as the entities that
deliver this type of programming become more aware of the opportunity for support through the overall
CSE review process.

2016 Contributions
The attached spreadsheet shows the staff recommended funding levels that are included in the
first draft of the Town Manager's 2016 budget. Signature Events and Services categories did
not need to submit an application; funding is proposed at a 3% increase from 2015 budget
levels.
New grant applications are only required every other year, 2017 being the next application year,
unless the applicant is requesting new or different levels of funding.
The items below outline requests received for new or different levels of funding than
requested for 2015 and document in-kind contributions approved by staff. All requests
were considered based on how the contribution or event fits into the overall Council Goals listed
below:
• Improve economic vitality
• Grow a balanced community
• Improve the quality of the experience
• Develop future leadership
The Educational and Enrichment Events (previously known as Tier IV, or Life -Long Learning)
are required to submit applications through the Commission on Special Events (CSE), which are
due in October. Staff has proposed an overall funding amount of $150,000 based on
recommendation of the CSE based on the prior year's submissions.
SIGNATURE (VAIL BRAND EVENTS)
A. Bravo! Colorado
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival is requesting a new contribution
of $77,500, in addition to the amount awarded in 2015. The new contribution will go towards
supporting London's chamber orchestra Academy of St. Martin in the Fields for a three performance
residency (June 23 — 26).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a 3% increase on prior year's contribution
($173,400 in 2015) to the New York Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra, totaling $178,600
($89,300 each). Staff also recommends the equivalent in-kind use as awarded in 2015. This
includes the use of up to six days of Donovan for the Donavan Chamber Music Series and up to
three days use of Donavan for the Silver Oak & Twomey Series. Both will be limited to 6 hours per
day.
In addition, staff supports funding the $77,500 for the London chamber orchestra based on the
economic impact to the town.
B. Vail Jazz Foundation
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Jazz Foundation is requesting a cash contribution of
$100,000 to fund 50 performances presented in Vail over 12 weeks in the summer, including an
opening night collaboration with Bravo!, the Jazz at Vail Square concert series (9 concerts), Jazz at
the Market (10 concerts), Jazz at Sweet Basil (10 concerts), Jazz After Dark (4 concerts) following
Bravo!, and Labor Day Weekend Jazz Party at Vail Square and the Marriott (11 performances). The
additional cash contribution would help fund the expansion of a Winter Jazz series in 2016
which would include a minimum of six performance dates between December 15th and April 10tH
16
9/15/2015
The Vail Jazz foundation is also requesting in-kind donations of two half day rentals of Donovan
Pavilion, 4 half day rentals of The Grand View room, 60 discounted parking vouchers at Lionshead
Parking Structure, 250 Vail bags for Vail Jazz merchandise, and waived banner hanging fees for
the street banners at Covered Bridge, Lionshead, and one set of roundabouts.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends a 3% increase over prior year's contribution
($72,000), for a total of $74,160, consistent with the overall increase granted to town operations.
Staff recommends in-kind use of two half day rentals of Donovan Pavilion and four half day rentals
of The Grandview room, both limited to six hours per day. While this event has become more
established and successful in the past several years, staff does not support a 39% increase in
financial assistance, the addition of parking vouchers, waived banner fees, or Vail bags as
requested.
SERVICES
C. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Alpine Garden Foundation is requesting an in-kind
contribution of one blue parking pass to be used by the Executive Director in addition to the town's
annual operating support.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The town has currently included a 3% increase to the annual
operating budget for the Gardens ($69,010 for 2016). Staff does not support the addition of a
parking pass and recommends that the Gardens utilize the 8 spaces in the east section of the Ford
Park parking lot already allocated to the organization.
D. Eagle Valley Senior Life
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Eagle Valley Senior Life is the only organization in Eagle
County specifically for seniors with dementia and other disabilities and provides respite for
caregivers along with an opportunity for increased socialization and cognitive stimulation for
participants. EVSL has requested a contribution of $5,000 to support transportation for low income
participants.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not recommend funding as it is not an appropriate use of
taxpayer dollars for health & human services when the County maintains responsibility for these
services.
E. Children's Garden of Learning
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Children's Garden of Learning is requesting a cash contribution of
$3,000 to fund playground and building maintenance and repairs and continued snow plow service
for the winter (valued at $5,000).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not recommend the cash funding of $3,000, however
staff does support the equivalent in-kind contribution as awarded in 2015 for plow services.

Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Community Development Department
Date: September 15, 2015
Subject: A request to consider the Vail Local Housing Authority Review of the Progress on
Implementation of the 2008 Employee Housing Strategic Plan (EHSP) Action
Steps to date; Recommended Prioritization/Consolidation of the remaining Action
Steps and Recommendations for Actions needed to continued progress towards
the EHSP Goals & Objectives.
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this work session is to:
provide an update on the progress on implementation of the 2008 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan (EHSP) Action Steps to date;
discuss and consider Prioritization/Consolidation of the remaining Action Steps; and,
discuss Recommendations for Actions to continue progress towards the EHSP Goals &
Objectives.
The Vail Local Housing Authority (VLHA) and the Community Development Department
recommend the following discussion topics / potential actions:
1. Appoint a Town Council member as Council Representative to the Housing
Authority bi-annually with new Council Committee Assignments; This is allowed
under the CRS Housing Authority statutes and previously there had been a member
of Town Council on the Board. The Appointed Council member would act as a
Council Representative in an ex -officio position on the Housing Authority Board in
order to help keep Council more informed on housing issues and foster better two-
way communication between them. The Housing Authority feels the need to have
someone from Council actively/regularly involved with the Board to hopefully
improve the working relationship between the two bodies.
2. Provide direction on what Council would like to see emphasized — rental or for -sale
housing development or both; The Housing Authority Board is asking for direction
from Council on types of housing, the Town Council would like to pursue. The
Housing Authority is about to embark with staff on a complete review of the Housing
Programs and Policies with an eye to what the Town will be doing going forward.
Therefore, it is necessary to know what direction Town Council is thinking this effort
9/15/2015
should concentrate on or is it wide open to look at everything and anything that may
be needed.
3. Town staff should pursue financing options related to VLHA's non-profit status and
Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) authorities and arms -length status from town
government to enhance the feasibility of potential redevelopment projects;
4. Foster a climate of regional cooperation, collaboration and communication with
other jurisdictions in Eagle County, which may include participation in the
development of deed restricted employee housing outside the municipal jurisdiction
of the Town of Vail.
5. VLHA will work with the Community Development Department and outside
consultants to review current zoning regulations to investigate potential for changes
that result in the creation of more deed restricted employee housing units;
6. Provide Council Candidates with housing information prior to the upcoming election.
II. BACKGROUND
On September 2, 2008, the Vail Town Council upon the recommendations of VLHA,
the Economic Advisory Committee, the Planning and Environmental Commission
and Community Development Department approved Resolution No. 20, Series
2008, adopting the Town of Vail Employee Housing Strategic Plan (see
attachment).
The Town Council determined that no less than thirty percent (30%) of Vail's
workforce should be provided deed restricted employee housing within the Town
limits as recommended. This is just a background statement taken directly from the
Town Council Resolution adopting the Employee Housing Strategic Plan. Housing
staff is working with the Economic Development staff and Eagle County to obtain the
most current and up to date employment numbers for the Town of Vail. Anecdotally,
we know that employers are having a very hard time right now filling positions due to
housing costs, e.g. VVMC and Sweet Basil to name two.
Council determined that in order to achieve the established goal it is critical to create
an employee housing strategic plan establishing and clarifying the objectives and
action steps essential to achieve the stated goal and that the Employee Housing
Strategic Plan will direct policy and budget decisions in order to achieve the
community's stated goal.
Finally, it was stated that it is the intention of the Council and the Housing Authority
to implement the Employee Housing Strategic Plan.
Attached is a current update of the EHSP Implementation Matrix. The list of action items
from the EHSP includes items completed (i.e., requiring no further action or in place and
operational), those that require additional or continued work and those given the lowest
priority due to being less relevant today.
It is noted that the EHSP was created in 2008 based on community and Town
discussions dating from 2006. For several years prior to 2008, Vail and Eagle County
experienced significant growth in the resort markets, which rapidly increased real estate
demand and prices. This resulted in very tight rental housing conditions due to job
growth. Subsequent to the 2008 EHSP adoption, local, national and global economic
Town of Vail
Page 2
9/15/2015
conditions changed radically. This caused a significant downturn in local business
conditions. This severe recession decreased real estate demand; caused building
activity to cease; and resort market activity declined. One result was some out-
migration of local residents and falling housing demand, both renal and for -sale.
Over the past couple of years the resort market has strengthened significantly. Real
estate activity (both sales activity and new construction) has increased, and the rental
housing market is again at full occupancy. It appears that the Vail and Eagle County
market is entering a phase of very strong demand for housing of all types. Historically,
when the regional economy is in a strong growth phase Vail experiences labor
shortages due to increased competition from down -valley employers and a shortage of
housing options in the Town. Current trends suggest that housing conditions for local
residents will continue to tighten for the foreseeable future.
EHSP NEXT STEPS
This review is a prelude to a more thorough and complete review of the entire EHSP
and all TOV Housing Programs & Policies to be accomplished with an outside
consultant and Community Development Department staff assistance over the next
several months. This comprehensive review and update will include: Update Vail's
Employee Housing Strategic Plan; Update to the Economic Impact of Employee
Housing in Vail Report; Update to the 2006 Housing Generation Rate Rational Nexus
Study; Identify potential sources of revenue and funds to implement the Town's housing
program; and Recommendations for zoning and policy changes. This work will be done
with Council consent, under the direction and guidance of the VLHA in full working
cooperation with town staff. VLHA is partnering with the Town to fund this effort and
sees this as a much needed examination of where we have been, where we are and
where we need to go at a very critical time with the economic growth currently being
experienced in Vail and all of Eagle County.
III. ACTION REQUESTED OF TOWN COUNCIL
1. Appoint a Town Council member as Council Representative to the Housing Authority
bi-annually with new Council Committee Assignments; this is allowed under the CRS
Housing Authority statutes and previously there had been a member of Town Council
on the Board. The Appointed Council member would act as a Council Representative
in an ex -officio position on the Housing Authority Board in order to help keep Council
more informed on housing issues and foster better two-way communication between
them. The Housing Authority feels the need to have someone from Council
actively/regularly involved with the Board to hopefully improve the working relationship
between the two bodies.
2. Provide direction on what Council would like to see emphasized — rental or for -sale
housing development or both; The Housing Authority Board is asking for direction from
Council on types of housing, the Town Council would like to pursue. The Housing
Authority is about to embark with staff on a complete review of the Housing Programs
and Policies with an eye to what the Town will be doing going forward. Therefore, it is
necessary to know what direction Town Council is thinking this effort should

concentrate on or is it wide open to look at everything and anything that may be
needed.
3. Town staff should pursue financing options related to VLHA's non-profit status and
Colorado Revised Statutes (CRS) authorities and arms -length status from town
government to enhance the feasibility of potential redevelopment projects;
4. Foster a climate of regional cooperation, collaboration and communication with other
jurisdictions in Eagle County, which may include participation in the development of
deed restricted employee housing outside the municipal jurisdiction of the Town of Vail.
5. VLHA will work with the Community Development Department and outside consultants
to review current zoning regulations to investigate potential for changes that result in
the creation of more deed restricted employee housing units;
6. Provide Council Candidates with housing information prior to the upcoming election.
Does Town Council wish to appoint one of its members as a Representative to
the Housing Authority to foster improved communications and a better working
relationship between the two entities?
Does Town Council have a preference for using for -sale housing development
over rental projects to achieve the EHSP Goals or do they prefer to let supply and
demand and market conditions determine housing needs to pursue?
Does Town Council find that it is in the best interest of the Town to pursue
additional housing project financing options, beyond existing town resources
through the auspices of the CRS legislated powers of the Housing Authority and
their non-profit status?
Does Town Council agree that the housing issues facing the Town are regional in
nature and that cooperation with other jurisdictions could add resources both
manpower -wise and financially to the effort to find solutions?
Is it Town Council's desire to have the VLHA take an active role and to coordinate
and help guide the review of the Town's Housing Programs and Policies with staff
and consultant assistance?
Does Town Council direct staff to prepare housing information packets for
immediate distribution all certified Candidates in the up -coming Town Council
elections this fall?
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Community Development Department recommends the Town Council accept the
VLHA recommendations and act on all of the above Town Council Requested Actions.

TOWN OF VAIL
EMPLOYEE HOUSING
STRATEGIC PLAN
BACKGROUND
In 2006, through the Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future process the community
established a housing goal. It is as follows:
"The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as
infrastructure that promotes community, reduces transit needs
and keeps more employees living in the town, and will provide
enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the
workforce through policies, regulations and publicly initiated
development "
Based upon the community's work, the Vail Town Council has confirmed the
Town of Vail recognizes deed restricted employee housing as basic
infrastructure. This type of housing allows employees to live within the town,
promoting community, and improving the quality of our local workforce, thereby
supporting the local economy, and reducing regional transit needs. The
Employee Housing Strategic Plan (EHSP) seeks to meet the expectations
established by the community and confirmed by the Town Council and provide
enough deed -restricted housing for at least 30 percent of the
community's workforce to live in the Town of Vail through a variety of
policies, regulations and publicly initiated development projects.
PURPOSE
The EHSP is a decision-making guide for the implementation of employee
occupied housing programs.
The EHSP documents the Town's current approaches to ensuring employee
housing. It identifies the goal, outlines methods and defines action steps the
Town will pursue. In addition, the Appendices provide background information
on Town housing definitions, policies, and initiatives. This information is
provided as an additional resource. The EHSP also recognizes and affirms the
importance of Vail constantly serving as a regional partner in the provision of
employee housing.

Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
The EHSP is meant to lead the actions of Staff, the Vail Local Housing Authority
and the Vail Town Council in future decisions regarding funding and development
of employee housing in Vail.
PLANNING TIMEFRAME
The EHSP is based on a five -to -ten year planning horizon; it looks well into the
future anticipating the needs for employee housing over time. The EHSP also
contains identified 'action steps" targeted for a one to three year period. These
action steps will need to be evaluated annually and it is anticipated that they will
be updated at least every three years as market conditions change.
THREATS, WEAKNESSES, STRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
It is important to recognize and plan for the threats, weaknesses, strengths and
opportunities that exist in the Town of Vail as well acknowledge the broader
trends that impact Vail.
Threats
O M

OBJECTIVES
A. Provide housing to address needs generated by new development or
redevelopment.
It is documented and understood that new development will require
additional employees and a goal of the EHSP is to provide for that
housing. This goal is also referred to as " Keep Up" in the EHSP; going
forward the Town will attempt to address the increase in demand from
new employees by requiring deed -restricted housing as a condition of new
development or redevelopment. The Town will encourage developers to
provide a range of housing choices for the entire spectrum of jobs that
are being created by the new development.
B. Respond to the existing affordable housing shortfall by pursuing a
number of identified programs and development opportunities.

This goal is also referred to as 'Catch Up" in the EHSP; it describes efforts
to address deficiencies in the available housing inventory that have arisen
over a period of years.
Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
C. Call for any deed -restricted housing that is required as a condition
of development to be constructed at the time new development
occurs.
By dispersing year-round housing multiple objectives are met:
neighborhoods are occupied throughout the year enhancing security and
encouraging activity. Economies are achieved by having developers
integrate deed -restricted housing at the time they are constructing other
uses, and construction of new residences occurs at the time the demand
is first triggered.
D. Creation and maintenance of housing in Vail for emergency and key
service workers.
In Vail, where weather and the regional road system create periodic
strains, this is especially important. The Town will also work with other
businesses that provide services essential to municipal operations to
encourage they have critical employees living within the Town of Vail.
The Town will offer partnership opportunities to these types of employers.
E. Actively address affordable housing for Vail workers to ensure that
the community remains competitive in economic terms.
With the number of Down -Valley jobs continuing to increase, there will be
competition for workers; Vail will work to provide appropriate housing to
ensure that the Town remains attractive in the regional job market.
F. Increase and maintain deed -restricted housing within the Town to
encourage the efficient use of resources by placing employees
closer to their place of work.
MnOva-
10
It is understood there is a reduced need for personal automobiles and
reduced transit costs when home and work are in close proximity to one
another. Also, there may be changes in workforce demographics that
result in opportunities to reduce parking associated with affordable
housing in selected locations. To the extent these opportunities can be
realized, without negative impacts on the overall community, they will be
explored.
Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
G. Planning for new employee housing will take jobs and wages into
account.
It is recognized that wages associated with a particular job influence
housing demand. In both catch-up and keep -up programs the Town will
work toward providing a range of housing types at price points
appropriate to the varying incomes of workers in Vail. It is recognized the
free market provides limited opportunity for even the highest wage
earners to live and work in Town and it is necessary to have a full range
of employees in the community. Diverse housing opportunities for the
broadest range of employees will enhance the community.
H. Provide and plan for housing along with local and regional public
transportation.
The EHSP recognizes that these functions are intertwined and where
deed -restricted housing exists, there will be a demand for transportation
services. It is the goal of the Town to minimize overall transportation
costs by housing employees in proximity to their jobs, and to also
anticipate the projected costs of transportation (due to fuel and other
scarce resources) in the provision of deed -restricted housing elsewhere in
the region.
POLICY STATEMENTS
The Town of Vail will pursue three broadly described methods to achieve the
Town's housing goal.
MnrS A}�.. t=
11JRltl OF T�i4[d,
The Town will Impose Regulatory Requirements
• Development will be required to address a portion of its housing
demand within the Town of Vail; and
• New development and redevelopment will be required to address a
portion of its housing demand at the development site.
Development and Acquisition Initiated by the Town
• To address employee housing needs beyond the regulatory
requirements for new development; and
• To respond to the desire to promote a more diverse and vibrant local
community.
Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
Form Regional Partnerships
• These efforts will address employee housing needs beyond the
regulatory requirements by actively seeking partnerships, including:
i. Public / Private, and
ii. Multi Jurisdictional.
These broad methods are further addressed in the Action Steps that are
described in the following section.
ACTION STEPS
The Town will continue to use tools already in place including:
Regulatory Requirements:
0. t,
M 4W V?Ai
The "Linkage" or Commercial Jobs Generation Program
The Town will review the current linkage program to evaluate whether it
has been meeting the objectives of ensuring that new housing is being
created to house a portion of the employee demand that is being
generated by new commercial uses in the Town. At this time, no
immediate changes in the overall requirements of the program are
anticipated. However, the current requirement for new commercial
development to provide employee housing for at least twenty percent
(20%) of the employees generated may be reevaluated and the required
percentage may be changed as a result of the review, the areas of impact
may be modified, and the formulas for calculating job generation rates
may be further refined. Additionally, an updated Rational Nexus will need
to be completed on a periodic schedule. The Linkage Program provides
housing to "keep up" with new demand as it is generated.
Achieves Objectives A, C, E, F, and G.
The "Inclusionary" Program
The Town does not anticipate major changes to the Inclusionary Housing
program at this time. However, the current requirement to restrict 10
percent (10%) of new residential square footage in high density areas to
be employee housing with deed restrictions, may be reevaluated and the
required percentage may be changed as a result of the evaluation, and/or
12 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
the areas (zone districts) of impact may be modified. The Inclusionary
Program provides housing to "keep up" with new demand as it is
generated.
Achieves Objectives A, C, E, F, and G.
Housing District Zoning Designation
The Town currently has a 'Housing District" zoning designation. As an
action step to implement the Housing Plan, the Town will review the
requirements of this district to ensure that it is fully meeting its intended
purposes. That review will address the procedural requirements for the
Housing District, land use provisions including density, parking and design
standards, and provisions for density bonuses. The evaluation of the
Housing District will ensure the Housing District provides optimal
employee housing development.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
Town Initiatives:
�s
NY
Buy -Downs to Generate Deed -restricted Units
The Town will actively pursue purchase of attractively priced units for
imposition of an appreciation capped deed restriction, and subsequent
resale. This technique for increasing the supply of permanently affordable
housing is known as a 'buy down." It is recognized that this program will
be highly market dependent, with limited applicability when the local
residential market is surging, and becoming more attractive at times when
there is a plateauing of prices. The Town will need to increase the
allocation of funds to underwrite the costs associated with purchasing,
deed restricting and reselling for -sale units. This is an opportunity to
provide diverse housing, to serve the full spectrum of employees. It is
important to update the parameters by which buy down units are
considered so each buy down unit meets the established goals. Further, it
is expected that there will be active involvement by the Housing Authority
in overseeing this program. The Buy -Downs program provides housing to
'catch up" with existing deficiencies and reduce market leakage.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
13
Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
Employee Housing Units Exchange Program
The Town will conduct a review of the "dispersed housing units" that have
been created under the density bonus provisions allowed by Town Code
since 1982. It is estimated that 123 units were created under the existing
program, typically ranging in size from 300 to 500 square feet. It is
believed that many of these units are not being used to house employees
as anticipated by the program. Although these units are covered by
various types of deed restrictions, the requirements are not uniform and
in many cases are not meeting the objective of providing long-term
dispersed employee housing. The Town will evaluate the current program
and will consider a 'deed restriction exchange program" as a part of this
overall effort. The program would likely permit, at the initiation of the
landowner, the exchange of small rental units for a larger for -sale, price
appreciation capped employee housing unit. Guidelines for the program
will be developed. It is expected that these standards will address
recommended size of units, location, homeowner's fees and other aspects
of the program. Such a program has been recently tried in Vail. It is
believed that other dispersed employee units, not currently in use, could
be leveraged into permanently restricted units by using this technique; it
could represent an important element of this overall plan. The Units
Exchange Program is to increase the quality and the total quantity of
employee housing within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, E, F, and G.
Incentive Zoning and Density Bonuses
The Town will consider workforce housing objectives in all review
processes that permit discretion. This means that the Town will work
actively with developers as a part of the Housing District, Special
Development District review processes and requested changes in zoning
to not only meet the requirements of existing code, but to look for
opportunities to go beyond code requirements to encourage additional
workforce housing to be created. As a part of these review processes the
Town will work actively with developers to create incentives to develop
housing that exceeds the minimal requirements contained in the code.
Additional density may be granted in selected locations through the
appropriate review processes, and fee waivers and subsidies may be
considered. The Incentives Zoning and Density Bonuses help Vail to

"catch up" with existing deficiencies and add to the overall percent of
employees living within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
Review Rezoning and Vacant Land Opportunities
The Town will regularly review existing codes and the vacant land
inventory to identify opportunities to modify current programs that further
support the goals of this Plan. The Review of Rezonings and Vacant Land
provides "catch up" opportunities to address existing deficiencies and add
to the overall percent of employees living within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, and G.
Town Participation in Developments Providing Deed -Restricted
Housing
The Town is prepared to actively participate in, and will seek partners to
further the development of deed -restricted housing. Vail Commons,
Middle Creek, Buzzard Park and Miller Ranch (located near Edwards in
Eagle County) are four relatively large developments that have been
completed through active Town participation. The existing developments
serve households at different income levels. This has been, and will
continue to be an objective of the Town, to serve the broad spectrum of
need within the community rather than focusing on just a narrow category
of income or household type. The Town participation provides 'catch up"
opportunities to address existing deficiencies and add to the overall
percent of employees living within the Town of Vail.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, G, and H.
Explore Options for a Dedicated Funding Source for Employee
Housing Initiatives
The Town will explore options for a dedicated funding source to ensure
adequate and ongoing resources for employee housing initiatives. It is
recognized the Town will play an integral role in the creation of employee
housing and dedicated dollars will aid in these efforts. The Town may
pursue any of the following funding alternatives: a dedicated sales tax
increase, a dedicated mill levy increase, dedication of the Real Estate
Transfer Tax or any other funding source that may be identified. A
m4wva-' 15 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
dedicated funding source would provide "catch up" housing opportunities
for Vail workers.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, F, G, and H.
Create an Existing Residential Conditions Base Line in the Town of
Vail
Conduct a comprehensive study of current units. Identify the type of
units that exist (i.e. studio, one -bedroom, etc.), each unit's current use
(i.e. employee occupied, short-term rental, etc.), and the ownership of the
unit (i.e. owner -occupied, tenant occupied, etc.). This data will establish
the baseline against which future employee housing success will be
measured. The baseline conditions will support both "catch up" and
"keep up" efforts.
Achieves Objectives A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Monitor the Rate of Free Market Employee Occupied Homes
The Town will monitor the rate of free market homes occupied by local
workers, and deed -restricted homes, on a regular basis. Conversions of
free market residential units to second home owner units will be
considered in Vail's evaluation of progress toward the goals identified in
this Plan. This monitoring will support both "catch up" and "keep up"
efforts.
Achieves Objectives B, E, F, and G.
Conduct a Demographics Survey of Current Vail Residents
In order to better understand the current demographics of the local
population it is necessary to conduct a local survey. This will provide the
Town with back ground information to consider in future housing policy
and development decisions to ensure the Town is maintaining a character
that is as diverse as it is today. This may occur in conjunction the Annual
Community Survey. This information will support "catch up" efforts.
Achieves Objectives A, B, D, E, F, and H.
16
Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
Establish a List of Essential Service Providers in the Town of Vail
Establish a list of essential service providers in the Town of Vail to
potentially partner with to ensure critical service workers live within the
Town of Vail. This information will support "catch up" efforts.
Achieves Objective D.
Host Personal Finance and/or Home Buyer Education
To encourage home ownership and create successful home owners it is
important to provide information and educational opportunities to
potential residents. This may also provide the encouragement current
renters or existing home owners may need to take the next step in the
housing market, freeing up their existing unit to house other employees.
This education may provide additional "catch up" opportunity.
Achieves Objectives B, D, E, and F.
Annual Review
In order to ensure the EHSP is always current and is responsive to
changing conditions, the Housing Authority shall review the EHSP annually
and changes shall be periodically recommended to the Town Council. The
purpose of these reviews shall be to ensure that progress on topics
related to employee housing is being maintained and that adjustments in
Objectives, Policies and Action Steps are made in a timely and specific
manner.
Achieves Objectives A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Regional Efforts:
In order to house employees associated with existing and anticipated
jobs, workforce housing will be required throughout the County as well as
in the Town. Vail will work actively with Eagle County officials and other
municipalities to look for regional solutions to providing housing. Further,
the need to provide transit services along with housing is also identified.
When developing housing for Vail employees in Down -Valley locations, the
cost of transit services will be considered in evaluations.
17 Employee Housing
Strategic Plan
9/15/2015
While furthering regional housing is an objective of the Town, it will occur
in concert with efforts in Vail, and in -Town deed -restricted housing will be
a priority. The Town believes that there are a finite number of
opportunities within Vail and these will be explored and pursued; Down -
Valley development will not be undertaken if it results in not being able to
participate in an opportunity within the Town's boundary.
Partnering opportunities for Down -Valley development will occur through
partnerships that may include not only the County, but also the Town of
Avon, Town of Minturn, Eagle County School District, the U.S. Forest
Service, and potentially private developers. The Dowd Junction area and
the Village at Avon are identified as particular areas of interest where
development opportunities are to be explored.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Roles and Responsibilities — The provision of deed -restricted housing is viewed as
a partnership between various boards within the Town, each having important
roles and responsibilities. As such, it is imperative that communications be
established and maintained between boards to achieve the goal and objectives
that are stated in this Plan. Efforts will be made to define, and periodically
refine, the roles and associated communications between the bodies identified
below.
The Town Council shall act in accordance with Town codes and shall fulfill their
decision-making functions as identified by local ordinances. Land Use
Regulations typically stipulate the review procedures to be followed in reviewing
a proposed development. Ultimately, most reviews require an affirmative
decision by the Town Council. Therefore, the Council will be the ultimate
decision-making body for developments that require Council review.
The Planning and Environmental Commission and the Design Review
Board also play an important development review role. These two boards will
review development proposals, consistent with the requirements of codes and
ordinances, to ensure that development is in compliance.

GLOSSARY
The following definitions are applicable for the terms used in this Plan.
Area Median Income (AMI) Limits - most communities establish income limits for the
programs they administer based on the area median income (AMI) for the area according to
household size, which are adjusted annually by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). Four different income categories are defined for various programs and
policies.,
1. Extremely low-income, which is less than 30 percent of the median family income;
2. Very low-income, which is between 30 and 50 percent of the median family income;
3. Low-income, which is between 50 and 80 percent of the median family income;
4. Middle income, which is between 80 and 120 percent of the median family income; and
5. Above middle income, which is over 120 percent of the median family income.

Catch -Up Housing - Housing needed to "catch-up" to current deficient housing
conditions. In this Plan, catch-up housing needs are defined by current resident households
reporting housing problems (overcrowded, cost -burdened and/or living in substandard
housing conditions), current renters and owners looking to purchase a home and in -
commuters that would like to move to Vail. Catch-up housing is generally addressed
through local city development initiatives, non -profits and housing groups and public/private
partnerships.
Housing Continuum, The - As illustrated below, it is possible to estimate the number of
resident households in the Town of Vail at various income levels. Vail's planning is based on
addressing the needs of households of different incomes, recognizing that there is a need to
ensure housing for a diversity of households.

Inclusionary Zoning — requires a minimum percentage of residential development be
provided to serve local employees as part of new residential developments (10 percent in
Vail). Inclusionary zoning is a housing production obligation based on the community's
need for employee housing as related to many factors, including a decreasing developable
supply of land, rising home values, insufficient provision of housing affordable to residents
by the market, etc., in addition to any direct employee generation impacts of development.
Keep -Up Housing — Housing units needed to keep -up with future demand for housing. In
this Plan, keep -up housing needs focuses on new housing units needed as a result of job
growth in Vail and new employees filling those jobs. Keep -up housing is often addressed by
the existing free-market, as well as regulatory requirements or incentives to produce
housing that is needed and priced below the current market.

Levels of Homeownership —When discussing affordability of properties by Area Median
Income (AMI) level (defined above) and the types of homes households among different
AMI groups are seeking; reference is made to a couple different stages of homeownership.
This includes:
1. Entry -/eve/ ownership/first-time homebuyers: These are households typically earning in
the lower to middle income range. In Vail, these are households earning 50 to 100
percent of the AMI. These include households that currently rent (or otherwise do not
own a home) and are looking to purchase their first home.
2. Move -up buyers: These are households earning in the middle to upper income range
(about 100 to 120 percent AMI or higher) that may currently own a home and are
looking to purchase a new or different home for a variety of reasons (relocating,
growing family (e.g., having children), shrinking family (e.g., empty -nesters), etc.).
Mean —the average of a group of numbers, which is the sum of all the data values divided

Overview of the Town of Vail Employee Housing Policies and Programs
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this work session is to provide an overview of the employee housing
policies and programs adopted by the Vail Town Council. Each of the policies and
programs is aimed at achieving the Town's adopted housing goals.
In 2006, the Vail 20/20 Focus on the Future process resulted in the following housing
goal statement:
"The Town of Vail recognizes the need for housing as infrastructure that
promotes community, reduces transit needs and keeps more employees
living in the town, and will provide enough deed restricted housing for at
least 30 percent of the workforce through policies, regulations and publicly
initiated development."
In 2008, with the adoption of the Town of Vail Employee Housing Strategic Plan, the
Vail Town Council adopted the following goal for housing:
"To ensure there is deed restricted housing for at least 30% of Vail's
workforce within the Town of Vail."
2008 EMPLOYEE HOUSING STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVES
The 2008 Employee Housing Strategic Plan adopted by the Vail Town Council includes
eight objectives. The objectives are:
A. Provide housing to address needs generated by new development or
redevelopment.
B. Respond to the existing affordable housing shortfall by pursuing a number of
identified programs and development opportunities.
C. Call for any deed restricted housing that is required as a condition of
development to be constructed at the time of new development.
D. Create and maintain housing for emergency and key service workers.
9/15/2015
E. Actively address affordable housing for Vail workers to ensure that the
community remains economically competitive.
F. Increase and maintain deed restricted housing within the Town to encourage the
efficient use of resources by providing homes for employees closer to their place
of work.
G. Planning for new employees will take jobs and wages into account.
H. Provide and plan for housing along with local and regional public transportation.
III. KEEP UP AND CATCH UP STRATEGIES
There is a current shortfall in the number of deed restricted housing units needed to
achieve the Town Council's adopted goal of providing housing for at least 30% of Vail's
workforce. Two employee housing actions have been identified to achieve the adopted
goal.
1. Keep Up — ensure new development and redevelopment provides a requisite
amount of new deed restricted housing to address any incremental increase in
employee generation created by the new development or redevelopment.
2. Catch Up — pursue public initiatives (i.e. town -sponsored) to create new deed
restricted housing to address existing deficits in the deed restricted housing need
resulting from prior development and redevelopment.
IV. SUMMARY OF ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF EHUS
In March 2012, BBC Research & Consulting completed a study for the Vail Local
Housing Authority. The Economic Value of the Town of Vail's Investment in Employee
Housing (the "Study") documented the then current inventory and use of employee
housing in Vail and calculated the cost and benefits of the investment from multiple
community perspectives.
The Study assumed the following:
• Without EHUs Vail businesses would likely still attract workers, but attraction and
retention would be more expensive; employee turnover would be higher; and
employee flexibility to work irregular hours or multiple jobs would be diminished.
• The provision of affordable EHUs requires some form of public investment, which
implies that tax payers — or some subset of taxpayers — are in some degree
supporting this amenity.
• The provision of EHUs can displace other forms of development, which under
many circumstances may be of higher economic value.
• The economic value of EHUs varies depending upon the nature of the individual
business interest or taxpayer considering the issue. Similarly, the economic value
of EHUs is not consistent from year to year — it varies considerably depending
upon background economic conditions.
• EHUs enhance the Vail community's ability to provide high levels of guest
services. Deed restricted, for sale housing is particularly valuable in allowing Vail
residents to stay in Vail and participate in civic life.

The Study concluded:
Deed restricted housing is not the only component of local employee housing.
Many workers, roughly 43% of persons who live and work in Vail, live in private
rental housing or own their own homes. Nevertheless the disparity between Vail
housing costs and local salary levels makes ownership an unrealistic option for
the vast majority of residents. Many resident homeowners purchased their units
years ago and it is likely that these units will eventually be sold and transfer into
temporary occupancy use — further exacerbating the Town's housing/jobs
imbalance.
The economic value of employee housing will grow as private ownership stock is
diminished and the diversity of employee housing, including additional deed
restricted family and for sale units, expands.
From a Vail community perspective the quantifiable economic value of employee
housing lies in three areas: the costs avoided by businesses of having to induce
workers from considerable distance; the additional town retail spending by
employee -local residents; and the public costs avoided in not having to find a
local parking solution for additional commuting workers. There are additional
non -economic benefits associated with employees being housed within Vail,
ranging from lessoned seasonality to the invigoration of the community's public
life.
V. COMMERCIAL LINKAGE AND INCLUSIONARY ZONING
The Vail Town Council adopted two keep up actions in April 2007. Commercial linkage
and inclusionary zoning are two regulatory tools designed to mitigate the impacts that
new development in the Town of Vail has on the need for deed -restricted housing.
When combined, the two tools conjunctively provide deed restricted employee housing
for 30% of the workforce generated by new development in Vail. These tools are only
used in the Town's high density residential and mixed-use zone districts, typically found
in the more intensely developed commercial core areas of Vail and have not been
required in the lesser developed, lower density, residential districts.
Initial developments, following adoption of commercial linkage and inclusionary zoning,
proposed to provide their requisite employee housing off-site. Recognizing the scarcity
of available land resources to develop new employee housing in Vail, in 2008, the Vail
Town Council amended the regulations. The amended regulations require new
construction and demo/rebuild projects that result in a mitigation requirement of 438
square feet or greater, or 1.25 employees or greater, to provide at least 50% of the
required mitigation of employee housing on site.
Applies to new or an increase in net floor area, accommodation units or limited
service lodge units and GRFA.
Town of Vail
Page 3
9/15/2015
• Mitigation requirements may be met by providing newly deed restricted units, the
payment of fees in lieu, the conveyance of property off site, or a combination
thereof.
• All mitigation shall be provided within the Town of Vail.
Commercial Linkage (12-23, Vail Town Code)
Each commercial development or redevelopment shall mitigate its impacts on employee
housing by providing EHUs for twenty percent (20%) of the employees generated.
Employee generation rates, by type of commercial use, are established by the Town's
nexus study.
Commercial linkage requirements do not apply to development in the following zone
districts:
• Hillside Residential
• Single Family Residential
• Two -Family Residential
• Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential
• Residential Cluster
• Low Density Multiple Family
• Medium Density Multiple Family
• Housing
• Vail Village Townhouse
• Agricultural and Open Space
• Outdoor Recreation
• Natural Area Preservation District
Inclusionary Zoning (12-24, Vail Town Code)
Residential development and redevelopment shall be required to mitigate its direct and
secondary impacts on the town by providing employee housing at a mitigation rate of
ten percent (10%) of the total new GRFA.
Inclusionary zoning requirements do not apply to development in the following zone
districts:
• Hillside Residential
• Single Family Residential
• Two -Family Residential
• Two -Family Primary/Secondary Residential
• Residential Cluster
• Low Density Multiple Family
• Medium Density Multiple Family
• Housing
• Vail Village Townhouse

VI. METHODS OF MITIGATION
The acceptance of fees in lieu is a component of keep up strategy and a method of
mitigation for commercial linkage, inclusionary zoning, and the Town's EHU exchange
program. The fee in lieu amount is established annually by resolution of the Vail Town
Council and establishes a fee per square foot and a fee per employee to be housed.
According to the adopting legislation, the Town shall only use monies collected from
fees in lieu to provide new employee housing within the Town of Vail.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 10, Series of 2007, (the original adopting resolution), "the
proposed fee in lieu amounts accurately reflect the affordability gap between a two
person household earning 120% of the Area Median Income and the 2006 (adjusted
annually)median cost per unit. "
o The fee in lieu amount originally proposed, and subsequently rejected by the
Town Council, was calculated to reflect the gap between a two person
household earning 100% of AMI and an administrative fee of 15%, reflecting
the increased burden on the Town to use the funds to create new deed
restricted units in Vail. As stated in the March 20, 2007, staff memorandum:
"At the March 13, 2007, Town Council meeting Resolution No. 6, Series of
2007, reflected a fees -in -lieu payment of $178,695 per employee and
$325 per sq. ft. This fee was targeted at a two -person household earning
100% of Area Median Income (AMI) and an administrative fee of 15%.
The revised recommended fees -in -lieu in payment is $131,385 per
employee and $236.65 per sq. ft. The recommendation is based on a
target of two -person households earning 120% of AMI. The administration
fee has been reduced to a flat rate of $3, 000 per employee and $3.65 per
sq. ft. Staff believes that the revised fees should cover the administrative
costs the Town will incur.
The Average Square Feet of Units and the 2006 Median Price per Square
Foot was held constant. Without an abundance of land to build new units
on, staff believes that the money collected as a fees -in -lieu of developers
providing employee housing, the Town will be "buying down" existing non -
deed restricted units in the Town of Vail. The recommended fees -in -lieu
will allow the Town to have adequate funds to buy down, deed restrict and
resell or rent units at a rate affordable to local employees. "
An administrative fee, established by resolution of the Town Council, shall be added
to the amount set forth. The fee has not been changed.
Town of Vail
Page 5
9/15/2015
The current year fees in lieu amount is determined by averaging the affordability gap
with the two prior year's actual fees in lieu amounts.
o Increased predictability and reduced annually volatility.
Fees in lieu shall be due and payable prior to the issuance of a building permit for
the development.
The fees in lieu amount for inclusionary zoning is the fees in lieu amount used for
any Employee Housing Unit Exchange that pays fees in lieu.
VII. ZONING INCENTIVES
The Vail Town Code contains a chapter on Employee Housing. The written purpose of
the chapter is:
The town's economy is largely tourist based and the health of this economy is
premised on exemplary service for Vail's guests. Vail's ability to provide such
service is dependent upon a strong, high quality and consistently available work
force. To achieve such a work force, the community must work to provide quality
living and working conditions. Availability and affordability of housing plays a
critical role in creating quality living and working conditions for the community's
work force. The town recognizes a permanent, year round population plays an
important role in sustaining a healthy, viable community. Further, the town
recognizes its role in conjunction with the private sector to ensure housing is
available.
The following chart shows the zoning incentives for a private property owner to create
and EHU. The adopted incentives vary based on lot size and the zone district.

VIII. TOWN SPONSORED DEVELOPMENT'S MASTER DEED RESTRICTION — VAIL
COMMONS, RED SANDSTONE, NORTH TRAIL, AROSA DUPLEX, BUY DOWN
UNITS
Town sponsored employee housing developments are a catch up strategy. To date, the
Town has sponsored the development of for sale, deed restricted units that are priced to
be permanently affordable to local employees. The Town's master deed restriction
further enhances affordability by being Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA)
approved, allowing buyers to obtain mortgages on the secondary market.
The master deed restriction recorded for Vail Commons, Red Sandstone, North Trail,
Arosa Duplex and Buy Down Units includes:
✓ Maximum annual price appreciation of 3% per year (prorated at the rate of 0.25%
for each whole month of any part of a year).
Town of Vail
Page 7
9/15/2015
✓ Permitted Capital Improvements may be recouped and shall not exceed 15% of
the purchase price for every ten-year period.
o Increased from 10% and Permitted Capital Improvements was expanded
to include replacement flooring, appliances, etc. on a five-year
depreciation schedule.
✓ Owner shall use the unit as their permanent residence.
✓ Owner shall not own any interest in another developed residential property in
Eagle County.
o Exception made during new construction — time of construction allows
prospective purchasers to sell their free market unit prior to closing on the
Town of Vail deed restricted unit.
✓ Owner may rent the unit for a limited period of time, with Town approval, but not
as an income producing asset.
✓ Nothing precludes an owner from sharing occupancy of the unit with non -owners
on a rental basis.
✓ Units are resold through the Town.
✓ The deed restriction does not survive foreclosure.
IX. EMPLOYEE HOUSING GUIDELINES
The Town of Vail Employee Housing Guidelines is a companion document to the
recorded master deed restriction. The purpose of the Employee Housing Guidelines is
to set forth the occupancy requirements, re -sale procedures and resale price limits for
the Town sponsored for sale, deed restricted employee housing units. This document
has been amended from time to time by the Vail Town Council.
A summary of the Employee Housing Guidelines is described below:
Occupancy Requirements
✓ Must be employed an average of 30 hours each week on an annual basis, and
must maintain this level of employment for as long as he or she owns the unit.
✓ May retire in the unit when he or she is sixty years of age or older and has
worked a minimum of five years in Eagle County for an average of 30 hours per
week on an annual basis.
✓ At least 75% of his/her income and earnings are earned by working at a licensed
Eagle County business.
✓ Leave of absence may be granted for up to one year.
Resale Lottery Criteria
✓ In scoring lottery applications, years of employment and/or residency in the Town
of Vail shall be weighted at 3:1 over years of employment and/or residency in
Eagle County.
✓ Neither the applicant nor any member of the applicant's immediate family may
own residential real estate in Eagle County at the time of application, except
Town of Vail Page 8
9/15/2015
where that real estate is deed restricted as a Town of Vail employee housing unit
with a resale appreciation cap.
✓ Must have a household size of 3 or more persons for a three bedroom unit.
✓ For all resales of existing units a reserve lottery list shall be used.
o The reserve lottery list shall be created using the exact same criteria.
o The reserve lottery list shall be updated annually.
o Separate reserve lottery lists shall be created for two bedroom and three
bedroom units.
X. COMPLIANCE WITH DEED RESTRICTIONS
There are 265 deed restricted units within the Town of Vail that have been established
using zoning incentives or regulatory obligations. Based on the era in which the units
were deed restricted there are different requirements for the occupancy of the unit.
Pre -1992 deed restrictions (29 units):
• If the EHU shall be rented, it shall be rented only to tenants who are full time
employees who work in Eagle County.
• There is no reporting requirement.
1992 to 1994 deed restrictions (22 units):
• If the EHU shall be rented, it shall be rented only to tenants who are full time
employees who work in Eagle County.
Annually the owner shall submit a report setting forth evidence establishing that the
employee housing unit has been rented throughout the year, the rental rate, the
employer, and that each tenant who resides within the EHU is a full-time employee
in Eagle County.
1995 to 2000 deed restrictions (68 units):
• Annually the owner shall submit a report setting forth evidence establishing that the
employee housing unit has been rented throughout the year, the rental rate, the
employer, and that each tenant who resides within the EHU is a full-time employee
in Eagle County.
• The owner of each EHU shall rent the unit at a monthly rental rate consistent with or
lower than those market rates prevalent for similar properties in the Town of Vail.
• If the unit is not rented and is not available at the market rate it shall be determined
to be in noncompliance. In addition to any other penalties and restrictions provided
herein, a unit found to be in noncompliance shall be subject to publication as
determined by the housing authority.
Post -2000 (146 units):
• Annually the owner shall submit a sworn affidavit establishing that the employee
housing unit has been rented or owner -occupied throughout the year, the rental rate,
the employer and that the tenant who resides within the employee housing unit is a
full-time employee in Eagle County.
• The EHU shall be operated and maintained in accordance with Chapter 13, Title 12
of the Vail Town Code. Failure to do so may result in enforcement proceedings in a
Town of Vail

court of competent jurisdiction and in accordance with Chapter 3, Title 12 of the Vail
Town Code_
XI. TOWN OF VAIL AS AN EMPLOYER
The Town of Vail is not only the municipal government, it is also an employer. As an
employer, the Town has a goal of providing deed restricted housing for at least 30% of
its workforce in Vail. The benefits of doing so are:
• Improves employee recruitment and retention
• Keeps critical service employees geographically accessible
• Reduces over -time costs by enabling the Town to be more fully staffed
• Stabilizes employment costs
• Reduces employee commuting times and distances
To meet the goal the Town provides:
• Seasonal and long-term rentals
• Priority for deed restricted purchases at Red Sandstone Creek
• Down payment assistance loans and rental assistance loans
• Reduced monthly rental rates
The Town of Vail currently employs +/- 345 people. Today, 69 Town employees
20%) live in 52 Town -owned rental units.

b. Financial/Contract Overview:
There was a recommendation by McDonald and Rogers to add attendance total for
all events combined under attendance estimate column, in lieu of the average. Also
add the median numbers for all columns, instead of and/or in addition to the

totaling it. Navas mentioned that the final payment has not been released to the
GoPro Games due to outstanding sales tax owed by vendors.

Feedback on CSE's memo regarding recommendation of a Cultural/Education
Facility
Rogers talked about the CSE facility center memo discussed during the "Information
Update" portion of the Council meeting. The plan is to set up a work session with the
CSE to identify what this project entails. Rogers continued that it was important to
work on supporting evidence to provide to the Town Manager's office. Also, the
question came up about who are users, as well as frequency and type of use for a
facility. There is a need to identify consistent users and what their financial
commitment would be to the facility. McDonald stated that the Town Manager's
office would like further data that staff could compile. The project includes review of
previous reports and studies identifying Vail Valley venues and comparative analysis
of peer resort properties. Davis asked about how to proceed from the current plan.
Rogers stated that it's important to use the information provided by staff and to figure
out what is feasible. Davis stated that the CSE needs to improve the narrative in
terms of a community/multi-use facility. Andrews suggested that a 1, 3 and 5 year
plan is a good solution. Andrews stated that the CSE would like to continue to be
part of the conversation on this topic. Rogers said that Vail facility research needs to
be conscious of the scale of the town vs. other facilities and locations. Navas
referenced the history of the Ford Amphitheatre, which was reluctantly embraced by
the Town of Vail when it was first built. There was general opinion that it was too far
"out of town," and would be too expensive to maintain, etc. Today we recognize that
it is a major anchor of our summer economy, even though it is underutilized during
some of the summer months. Historical data needs to be presented, including
CSE Minutes Regular Meeting: September 2, 2015 Page 2 of 7
9/15/2015
existing facilities, such as Grand View and Donovan. Andrews mentioned that the
CSE commitment to the Educational and Enrichment Events category shouldn't be
overlooked.
g. Update on Council's input at first TOV Budget Review on September 1St
Navas provided a review of the decisions made at yesterday's Town Council Work
Session on the 2016 budget.
• America's Opening: Expanded Birds of Prey
Vail Valley Foundation (VVF) Request: $175,000
Add Concert @ Solaris and Legends Race @ Golden Peak on 1St weekend in
December (week before Snow Daze)
Council Comments:
$175K too expensive for a concert
More impact for Beaver Creek
Bruno and Bugby suggest: asking VVF to come give a pitch
Final vote 3-3 — ends up as a "NO" but may change at a future discussion
(Andy Daly was not present)
• CSE Budget: 3% Increase
Bugby comments that there are many in the community that believe we already
have more events and more crowds than we need.
Others in favor- looks like will pass.
• Education/Enrichment Event Budget Request: $150,000 (Council members still
referred to as Tier IV)Finance Director, Kathleen Halloran, explained how that
number was derived, stating that she had been criticized for the original budget
that was solely based on the amounts that were requested in year one. CSE was
asked what they would recommend.
Moffet says they would be better served to task CSE with "What would you do if
you had the amount of $$ needed to attract/create a product consistent with the
Vail Brand?" $150,000 isn't going to deliver much impact.
1. What are we missing? What are our peer models? - a "World Class Think
Tank" i.e. Aspen Institute example
2. CSE was requested to come in an explain what they have done with this
category and to include:
a. 2014 and 2015: Programming History
b. History of funding
c. Add memo on the EEE Development and Criteria
d. Identify: What can $150,000 buy?

(Tuesday, September 15- Sybill and Kelli to prep documents for submittal by
September 9th)
Rogers expressed that she was surprised at the pushback by the Council on the
Educational and Enrichment Events category programming budget at $150,000.
Rogers continued that this category has never been clearly defined in the past. The
Town of Vail Mission Statement includes educational reference and thus the town
should follow through with it. She suggested that there is a need to market the
Educational and Enrichment Event funding opportunity to get more applicants. For
the next review on the budget in October, Rogers volunteered Davis to come in and
speak to the council about clarifying the how the fund has been utilized. This will
help council to feel more comfortable with allocating $150,000 to the fund. McDonald
stated that staff has been tasked with what was funded and what was the
programming and results. Staff will pull those from the recaps from 2014 and the
ones from 2015 thus far. This reports needs to be completed in time for the
September 15 council meeting. The request is to identify peer models that the CSE
could emulate or use as an example. McDonald said that the VEAC meeting was
confusing for some of the attendees because the communication wasn't clear about
what the facility could potentially become. Rogers stated that the council delegated
to the CSE to work through some of these questions. McDonald said that it's
important to show the council the successes of the Educational and Enrichment
Events category. Rogers said that leadership is the key to the success of the
organizations that have been funded. Davis wants to review an action plan to meet
with staff to identify information needed for the next council Work Session on
September 15, between 1:00-4:OOpm. Rogers mentioned that the funding to the VVF
Birds of Prey America's Opening event for $175,000 did not get approved by the
council by a vote of 3-3. McDonald stated that the main concern of the council was
the concerts on back to back weekends when Snow Daze tried it in 2014 it split
attendance and didn't increase visitation numbers, and that Beaver Creek, as the
host community of the World Cup races, stands to gain the most benefit.
Event Liaison Marketing Update: Laura Waniuk
• Vail Valley Cup — please see presentation in the supporting documents
Event Recaps — please see documents in Laserfiche for detailed recaps.
Vail America Days- Highline, Missy Johnson
There was a strong focus on tradition for this year's event. Volvo came on board as
a sponsor. There was lots of youth involvement and relevancy with the parade
theme, anchored by the participation of Mikaela Shiffrin. Pepi and Sheika
Gramshammer were well received as Grand Marshals. Operations were enhanced
by working with the ERC closely. There is opportunity for more sponsor partnerships
for the events. Working with local retailers will be a focus next year. Gordon said he
thought that the event was great and fireworks were fabulous too. Timing of the
fireworks show was good and well-received. Gordon stated that there are some
public safety issues with candy distribution. He was concerned that the kids were
CSE Minutes Regular Meeting: September 2, 2015 Page 4 of 7
9/15/2015
going to get run over by floats because the candy was dropped or handed off the
floats. Kundolf missed the Stomp kids this year. Navas said that candy is really
tough to clean up; public works has to take care of this.
Vail Arts Festival- Eagle Valley Events, Laurie Asmussen
Asmussen was pleased with the attendance, which was up 8% over last year. They
are identifying which categories that compete too much with LH businesses, such as
fiber, and will limit that genre in future festivals. They increased the number of
artists to 95, but LH is at capacity. They want a great experience for everyone; feel
that 75 to 80 is a better number of artists at that site. New configuration of bus stop
opened up more space. Navas asked about the possibility of using part of LH Circle
towards Dobson Arena. Asmussen replied that she does not like to take the buses
out of LH, and that there are challenges with traffic accessing the condominiums
along that section of road. Andrews suggested that there might be an expansion to
the top deck of the LH parking structure. Wadey reported receiving feedback from
guests who would love to have that event time extended to later in the
afternoon/early evening. Rogers commented that she thought the improvement in
artists was great. Andrews recommended identifying the concerns with the survey.
Navas noted that since the Vail Arts Festival received just $10,000 in funding,
Asmussen's survey was not conducted by RRC, the contractor hired by the CSE to
survey all of the events that received more than $10,000 in funding. Asmussen
contracts with a different company, which explains some of the incongruities
reflected in the results. She explained that they had been conducting surveys for her
event for 5 years and didn't want to lose the continuity of the data.
Vail Leadership Institute: Applied Leadership Series
Hara gave an overview on this first year event. There are 6 events in this series with
diverse programs. They build on events that bring speaker and audience together.
Speaker perspective is to make it more of a storytelling format. There were 428
participants at the 6 events. There was some inconsistency with the survey results
as the VLI had used their own survey at a couple of the early events, and then sent
out the RRC survey for the remaining events... The questions in the RRC survey
were not targeted to the type of audience that participated, as it was almost
exclusively local residents and employees. Navas noted that in the coming year, we
may want to look at revising the survey questions for the Education/Enrichment
Events to reflect the difference in funding criteria from the Cultural, Recreation and
Community Events. Navas added that several of the Town of Vail staff attended the
events and enjoyed their experience. Local businesses are affiliated, as are CMC
and other educational organizations. Hara reviewed the marketing tactics and how
they are split between digital and traditional media. Kundolf asked about venue use
and the budget for the rentals of the venue. They held 5 events at Donovan and one
at the Grand View. These were provided at a reduced rate by Town of Vail in-kind
contributions.
Vail Valor Races- by email
Staff did not receive this recap in time for inclusion in the meeting documents.

Motion to approve the final funding disbursements for Vail America
Days and the Vail Leadership Institute: Applied Leadership Series
M/S/P: Kundof/Wadey/Unanimous The motion passed 7-0
NPS discussion
Andrews reviewed the definition of NPS and how the numbers impact the overall
perception of the event performance. NPS scores drop about 20% if the surveys are
distributed over email post -event and not in person. Andrews asked to have RRC
come discuss their process and methodology for the surveys at next month's CSE
meeting. McDonald confirmed she would request that. Valenti stated that it should
be noted when the survey switches from an in person to email survey in order to
understand methodology changes.
Review CSE procedures for evaluation of RFP's for 2016 events: Staff
• Wednesday, November 4th: 8:30am-5:30pm at the Antlers in Lionshead
• Wednesday, November 11th: 8:30am-3:30pm at the Antlers in Lionshead
Navas explained how the process works and expectations for the CSE. Scoring
sheets will need to be returned to staff by noon on Thursday, Nov. 5. The score
sheet results from Nov. 4 meeting are not final at that time, but rather will provide a
base line for sharing of opinions and debate that leads to the final decisions which
will be made on November 11th. A spreadsheet combining everyone's input will be
provided as the worksheet for that discussion. Gordon stated that the point total is
just one data point, along with subjective process and historical experience that also
contribute to the final decisions. Andrews asked if there could be time on the agenda
in October to discuss the methodology and tips for the funding process. Davis said
that it's a good idea to be polarizing when scoring RFP's in that first meeting, as it
stimulates productive discussion. Navas added that there is one application form for
both event categories and the producer will self select which category they believe
that they belong in. The CSE will have the ability to move them into a different
category if they feel the criteria is a better match, however the budget for funding
cannot be transferred between the Entertainment/Enrichment events and the
Cultural/Recreation/Community events.
Review of strategic points from VLMDAC and how to apply to the CSE's RFP
review: Staff Please see presentation provided in the meeting materials.
Navas and McDonald reviewed the marketing objectives of the VLMDAC and CSE.
McDonald explained in shift of age group to 25-54, which will also capture ages 55-
65. Kundolf stated that it's important to include information about off peak seasons
and lower ADR which could also support a multi -use facility. McDonald stated that it
shows the alignment between the CSE and VLMDAC.
New Business and Community Input
Iverson from VLI said they are expanding on the brand Vail Centre. He also asked if
the CSE could move the event from Recreation and Cultural to Education and
CSE Minutes Regular Meeting: September 2, 2015 Page 6 of 7
9/15/2015
Enrichment category. The answer is yes. The VLI 2016 event will be incubated and
be a step in between the larger event in 2017. VLI plans to focus on investor events
in the next few months and they are still interested in purchasing Treetops.

Panel Discussion on Vail Valley's Start -Up Companies
Discussion to include what business they are in; why they located here; what challenges they
face; what opportunities they see; how local businesses can help each other; what local
governments can do to facilitate these up and coming businesses

Phil Shettig, President, SYNC
Christian Avignon, Founder, 10th Mountain Whiskey and Avignon Stone, Ryan
Thompson, Founder, 10th Mountain Whiskey
Tara and Nate Picklo, Owners, Yeti's Grind and LOV Bikes
Alex Biegler, Owner and Sylvan Ellefson, VP Sales, Cirque Mountain Apparel
Zemler stated that there is an opportunity to learn more about start-ups and retaining
businesses in Vail. McDonald asked the panelists what challenges they face and what would
it take to keep their business in the Vail Valley. Gordon said that this is a good time because
a lot of organizations are coming together and spawning new businesses.
SYNC, Phil Shettig, President
Sync is performance ski wear, focused on the alpine skier. The company has been in
business for a year. Small product line, larger products line will launch this month. Everything
they do is focused on their consumer and being a mountain company works perfectly
because it's the target demographic. They looked into moving from Edwards to Denver, but
it's more cost effective to stay here. Affordable office space for start-ups does not really exist
in Denver. There is an entrepreneur community that exists in Denver, they wanted to be in
that environment, but the costs were prohibitive. They value the opportunity to live here and
reap the intangible benefits. Logistics are easier, human capital is still less expensive. Office
VEAC Meeting — September 8, 2015 Page 1 of 4 9/15/2015
is located in Pitkin Creek, easy, plenty of parking. Distribution center is in Denver. They do a
lot of business on the Front Range with partners and domestic manufacturing.
Yeti's Grind/LOV bikes - LOV: Love our Valley - Tara and Nate Picklo
The Picklos wanted to stay in the valley and created businesses to do so. Branding is
important. What is the differentiating factor of LOV bikes? Having the business based in Vail,
brings awareness and creates a culture of being in Vail. They are more boutique and have an
international following. The customers want to be a part of what's happening in Vail. They
manufacture the frames in Eagle. LOV has been in business since 2012, first product about 2
years ago. They are focused on placement in other locations/businesses, it is rolling art. They
have access to more people if the bikes are showcased in other non -bike retailers.
Everything is custom and paint work is uniquely painted for that person. There is a current
discussion about the transition from golf to cycling. That demographic wants something
customized and different. The Pro Cycling event has a great impact for their business. They
had great product placement in the VIP tent.
Yeti's started about 8.5 years ago in Eagle. There was a need in the community for a place to
hang out. They decided to focus on coffee. Coffee is roasted locally. Milk is from a dairy in
Colorado. They reach out to local businesses and support them. Four years in they thought
about a second location. They didn't really think about coming to Vail, they looked on the
Front Range, Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins. Solaris semi -recruited them for the retail space
because they were a local business. The first year was tough, but then things started to grow.
It's been a positive move for them and has also helped their Eagle location. The Solaris
space is only 900 sq. ft. They had financial help to build out the store. There are a number of
coffee shops in the area, but there are different demographics for each shop. Loaded Joe's
has more food options and serves alcohol. It's helpful that Starbucks is closed during the off
season. Yeti's is open 363 days and closes two days a year for cleaning. Yeti's is used for a
remote office by the community. In Vail Village there are mostly established businesses and
few newer businesses. Housing is a huge issue for smaller businesses. They can't bring staff
in because there is no housing for them. Many start up businesses are intertwined. Newbury
asked if events support their business. For Yeti's, events bring lots of people to their store.
Cirque Mountain Apparel, Alex Biegler, Owner and Sylvan Ellefson, VP Sales
They produce hats and other custom knits. Founded in Jackson Hole, moved the business
here. Vail is plugged into the mountain community. Office is in Eagle Vail, production is done
overseas. Vail is not seen as a young, entrepreneur location; it's seen as an older, more
established business community. They have a staff of six people here and one person in
Jackson Hole.
Levine asked about how to transition Vail into a community to welcome entrepreneurs and
come to Vail to find a career job. First step is awareness that it's already happening. People
are successful here. Moffet asked about how much flying they do, out of Eagle or Denver.
They do quite a bit of travel via car and usually fly out of Denver. They are opening 3
locations, 2 in Denver and 1 in Mall of America. They are considering a location in Vail.
VEAC Meeting — September 8, 2015 Page 2 of 4 9/15/2015
10th Mountain Whiskey - Christian Avignon, Founder, Ryan Thompson, Founder
Town employees still think there is parking in front of their retail shop. The town employees
use that area for staging while their store is open. On the event side, could other locations be
used, like Gondola One. Kellen said that it would draw people all the way through the town.
The event tents are backed up to business entryways and block them. McDonald mentioned
GoPro Games and how they spread their vendors out. They also suggested having some sort
of cover area — to provide cover from the sun and rain. There needs to be the ability to get
people in an area that is protected. Winter Park event had tents with outdoor carpet, and it
worked really well. There is an opportunity for the local brands to be showcased as sponsors,
but it is cost prohibitive. Perhaps there is a way to put together a marketing packet to promote
them as sponsors. Gordon mentioned that it could be a good topic for event producer
newsletters.
They looked in Vail for a distillery location but couldn't afford the space; they put their
distillery in Gypsum. Their tasting room is in Vail Village, small and simple. It goes back to the
mentality of the 10th Mountain Division. They were true entrepreneurs who started the
mountain lifestyle. The owners have the Gypsum plant open for tours, etc. They provide a
different spin on two ends of the valley. They attach themselves to the Vail brand, it helps sell
the product. It's important to have that mountain lifestyle brand, partnering up with the other
small business owners. It's also valuable to have a company with a historical foundation and
the 10th Mountain Division is still active. The owners also want to give back to groups like
Wounded Warriors and Vail Veterans.
Levine suggested that it's important to engage the VLMDAC and expand the Vail brand to
encourage people to come here to start up businesses. There could potentially be a benefit
for small businesses. Reitman from the VVP said a lot of things are already happening that
people just don't know about. There are many such businesses that exist. Last year they held
focus groups up and down the alley. There is a VVP website that supports the community
businesses: www.Vailvalleymeansbusiness.com
Zemler mentioned that it would be smart to look into the Boulder model. They have ads
highlighting locally owned businesses. Romer said that's it important to tell success stories
about what's going on here. Colorado loan fund helped a local Vail business. They are real
people, real businesses that have a nationwide footprint.
Small businesses appreciate great marketing through hotel packages. 101h Mountain got lots
of exposure because Antlers put together a whiskey tasting package. The Vail Daily Weekly
recently did a feature on local businesses. It's difficult as a small business to take time out of
busy schedule to promote their business. A challenge is local brand awareness; the VLMDAC
could possibly work with them. It's so important to align with the Vail brand. The locals are the
backbone of their business. They are excited and proud to be there.
Rogers stated that it might be good to have an entrepreneurial business representative
added to the VEAC. McDonald stated that it is possible and would look into it. It would bring
more awareness for their businesses and how VEAC and TOV decisions and strategies
impact them. Reitman stated that there are great VVP tools and opportunities.
VEAC Meeting — September 8, 2015 Page 3 of 4 9/15/2015
Mullen stated that she has a great relationship with the 10th Mountain whiskey. It's sold in her
store, keeping her relevant and she's supporting them by selling their product. Reitman said
that the town can stay authentic by telling all these stories. Ivy asked about how guests find
out about the businesses. How do the tourists find out their businesses? The small
businesses are a needle in a haystack here in Vail.
Rogers mentioned that it would be good to have some type of identification for the shop
windows. In Boulder they have it and it's a membership -based model. The fees may pay for
the advertising. McDonald explained the Lionshead Merchant Association exists in a similar
format. Levine spoke about financial support, staffing, recruiting and other concerns of each
of the businesses. McDonald stated that it might be a good opportunity to use the sponsor
space/tent at events that is provided to the Town by Event producers.
Financial Report
Upon receipt of all sales tax returns, July collections are estimated to be up 2.6% compared
to budget and up 5.4% from the prior year. RETT collections through August 26, total
$3,927,284 up 1 % from this time last year.
Town Manager Report
Groundbreaking for golf clubhouse is on Wednesday at 3:30pm, encourages everyone
to attend .Thursday will start demolition. Newbury said that the VRD has plans in place
to have smooth transition during construction. It's scheduled to be complete around
July -August 2016. The VRD will run the Grill; they have taken on the liquor license.
Timber Ridge is coming together; the two buildings that will soon be open are already
leased. The buildings will open in the next few weeks.
The VMMC project got underway, it's a benefit for Vail and economy. The hospital is
investing $100-$200 million. VVMC is the second largest employer outside of Vail
Resorts.
Additional Trash pick up, bus service and drivers, are in included as 2016 budget
items and are about catching up with service items.
There may be some activity on the 1-70 underpass. There will be some re -alignment,
not full construction yet. It's targeted to take 18 months to complete.
The skateboard park is under construction. It will have a potential to be year round.
Citizen Input - None
Other Business
Navas stated that the CSE will have two open spots for applications and encourage the
panelists to apply.
