agree to change the provisions of this contract, the renegotiated terms shall not be effective until this Contract is
amended/modified accordingly in writing. Provided, however, that the rates will be modified in accordance with
applicable cost accounting principles and standards (including sections 24-107-101, et seq., C.R.S. and
implementing regulations), and be based on an increase/decrease in the "allowable costs" of performing the Work.
Any such proposed renegotiation shall not be effective unless agreed to in writing by both parties in an amendment
to this contract that is properly executed and approved by the State Controller or delegee. Any such rate change
will go into effect on the first day of the first month following the amendment execution date.
B. Option Letter

maximum amount payable under this contract based upon the unit prices (rates) originally established in the
contract and the schedule of services required, as set by the terms of this contract. The State may exercise the
option by providing a fully executed option to the Local Agency, in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit
C, immediately upon signature of the State Controller or an authorized delegate. The Option Letter shall not
be deemed valid until signed by the State Controller or an authorized delegate. Any such rate change will go
into effect on the first day of the first month following the option letter execution date.
C. State Encumbrance Letter
The State may encumber the funds up to the maximum amount allowed during a given fiscal year by unilateral
execution of an encumbrance letter in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit D. The State shall provide a fully

Except as otherwise provided in this contract, any dispute concerning a question of fact arising under this contract,
which is not disposed of by agreement, will be decided by the Chief Engineer of the Department of Transportation.
The decision of the Chief Engineer will be final and conclusive unless, within 30 calendar days after the date of receipt
of a copy of such written decision, the Local Agency mails or otherwise furnishes to the State a written appeal
addressed to the Executive Director of the Department of Transportation. In connection with any appeal proceeding
under this clause, the Local Agency shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of
its appeal. Pending final decision of a dispute hereunder, the Local Agency shall proceed diligently with the
performance of the contract in accordance with the Chief Engineer's decision. The decision of the Executive Director
or his duly authorized representative for the determination of such appeals will be final and conclusive and serve as
final agency action. This dispute clause does not preclude consideration of questions of law in connection with
decisions provided for herein. Nothing in this contract, however, shall be construed as making final the decision of
any administrative official, representative, or board on a question of law.
Section 19. Does not supersede other agreements

obligations. Such performance information shall be entered into the statewide Contract Management System at
intervals established herein and a final Evaluation, Review and Rating shall be rendered within 30 days of the end of
the contract term. Local Agency shall be notified following each performance Evaluation and Review, and shall
address or correct any identified problem in a timely manner and maintain work progress.

meet the performance measures established hereunder, the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of
Personnel and Administration (Executive Director), upon request by the Department of Transportation, and showing
of good cause, may debar Local Agency and prohibit Local Agency from bidding on future contracts. Local Agency
may contest the final Evaluation, Review and Rating by: (a) filing rebuttal statements, which may result in either

Memorandum
To: Town Council
From: Greg Hall, Stan Zemler
Date: November 15, 2016
Subject: Parking Update
I. PURPOSE
To provide the Town Council with a parking update to include:
• Review a summary of the various studies conducted with regards to
expansion of parking and the previous council direction
• Discussion of the $4.3 million committed by Vail Resorts for parking
expansion and the associated obligations
• Parking and Transportation Task Force formation including representation,
tasks and timelines
11. BACKGROUND
Throughout its history, the Town of Vail has been responsible for addressing various
parking challenges. As we've learned from the past and present, parking issues are
dynamic and change over time. Today's presentation is the second in a series of
council sessions to be used to provide a summary of various parking supply
expansion studies conducted by the town over the years, a review of the committed
$4.3 million by Vail Resorts for parking expansion and steps for reinstituting the
Parking and Transportation Task Force.
Beginning in 2010 and working into 2012, the Town Council conducted various
sessions to discuss parking both short and long term. In August of 2012 the final
Strategic Parking Plan memo was produced outlining the Town Council's direction
on parking. This set Goals, Objectives and Policies as well as strategies both short
term and longer term.
In August of 2016, the Town Council and Vail Resorts senior leadership agreed to
meet with town staff to initiate joint discussions regarding parking to address
operations as well as short term and long term outcomes.

III. 2012 STRATEGIC PARKING PLAN HIGHLIGHTS
Current Goals
• 15 days of South Frontage Road winter overflow parking
• 15 days of South Frontage Road summer overflow parking
• Increase the current public supply by 400 spaces based on 2007/2008
season numbers to meet an existing deficit to maintain 15 days of winter
overflow parking.
o As of 2012, the town and private sector successfully since 2008 have
provided additional spaces to reduce the required number in 2012 to a
59 -199 public space deficit.
o Today that deficit is at 300 spaces.
• Over the next 10 years, some additional spaces are required to meet future
demand, which is predicted to be 600 additional spaces above the initial 400
spaces over a 25 year period.
• Efficiently manage the current supply of town parking spaces
Current Parking Plan Policy Objectives
• Service Core Markets
o Customers and guests of commercial villages
o Skiers
o Employees
• Manage the Yield — currently peak and non peak periods, as well as the
relative value received is only associated with parking passes and only
during the winter
• Simplify the Product
• Design Program so it is Revenue Neutral
• Increase Safety
Current Parking Plan Guidelines
• Strongly encourage the use of transit, carpooling/vanpool
• Recover transit enhancement costs through parking
• Parking cost increases will be borne by parking
• Encourage turnover of short term parking spaces
• Pass prices reflect a relative value received based on the daily rate (i.e.
season cost is based on 22 weeks at daily rate or discounted daily rate)
• Strictly enforce parking violations
Additional Parking Goals
Town of Vail Page 2
November 15, 2016 - Page 26 0
• Continue management techniques to reduce the need to invest significant
capital funds to increase the supply
• Reduce the cost of managed parking
• Create flexibility in the plan to easily adapt to changing conditions
• Efficient use of existing parking supply
• Increase the parking supply
• Supply may move but don't diminish the total number of spaces available
PARKING SUPPLY STRATEGIES
This section will focus on the previous studies reviewed by the Town Council
prior to settling on the following strategies. Attached for reference is a 2010
presentation on the various parking supply expansion opportunities reviewed by
the town council. The estimated costs are in 2010 dollars and are in the range of
20-40% higher in today dollars. The town council adopted the following strategies
based on their review and direction.
1. Secure use of the South Frontage Road for 15 days of both winter and summer
use from CDOT and FHWA long term
2. At a minimum maintain the current supply of parking spaces
• What
o Spaces and lots currently used for parking should not be lost or the
parking will need to be replaced elsewhere to maintain status quo

Arrabelle spaces for public use
3. Increase the supply of parking
Vail Resorts
• What
o Vail Resorts to provide 150-200 spaces as an early action to Ever

Ever Vail Update
Because both Vail Resorts and the Town of Vail strategies were tied to Ever Vail
being developed, a review of and the Ever Vail approvals and timing follows. The
Lionshead Master Plan was amended to include the entire Ever Vail area on
October 18, 2011 by Resolution Number 6 Series of 2011. The Ever Vail
preliminary plan approval adopted on December 18, 2012 by Resolution Number
35 Series of 2012 has the following requirements in order to take effect. Failure
to meet the final plat approval would also void Ordinance Numbers 7, 8 and 9 of
2011 which rezoned parcels to Lionshead Mixed Use 2, amended the Cascade
SSD (Glen Lyon Office building parcel) and allowed the Ever Vail parcels be
allowed to meet the core parking requirements of the Town Code.
Lionshead Redevlopment Mater Plan
Any proposed development plan submitted for approval for the Ever Vail site will
be reviewed with regard to the requirements of and insuring conformance with
the Lionshead Redevelopment Mater Plan. The changes by Resolution Number
6 Series of 2011 to the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan are highlighted
as follows:

The specific Lionshead Master Plan language on parking as it relates to Ever Vail
is as follows:
5.17.3 Parking
Ever Vail shall be developed as a commercial core that includes mixed use
development, pedestrian streets and plazas, direct access to transit options, bicycle and
pedestrian connections and access to Vail Mountain. As a commercial core, Ever Vail
should be incorporated into the Town's adopted commercial core parking areas, which
Town of Vail Page 5
November 15, 2016 - Page 29 0
allow for reduced parking requirements due to proximity to mixed use development.
Ever Vail shall meet the parking requirements of the Vail Town Code. The appropriate
parking requirements for ski lifts and other potential land uses that do not have a
specified parking requirement will be determined by the Planning and Environmental
Commission.
Section 2.4: Ground Rules for the Master Planning Process, states that there shall be
no net loss of parking spaces now existing in Lionshead. Ever Vail must include parking
spaces to offset displaced existing parking from the former gas station site and
Maintenance Yard/ Holy Cross Site in accordance with section 4.8.1. These spaces are
in addition to parking required by the Vail Town Code and any public parking spaces
provided by Ever Vail.
Without including parking spaces required for the proposed gondola, as determined by
the Planning and Environmental Commission, if any, Ever Vail shall include an
additional 400 public parking spaces, as identified in section 4.1.5: West Lionshead —
Residential/Mixed Use Hub. These spaces will address long-term public parking needs,
including the Town's goal to eliminate parking from the South Frontage Road as further
detailed in Section 4.8.3.3b of this master plan. During development and phasing of
Ever Vail, there will be periods of time when surface parking lots and staging areas may
be necessary to meet skier parking and construction needs. Surface parking lots shall
not be maintained as a long-term solution to meeting parking demand. The construction
of a portion of the additional 400 parking spaces should be explored by Vail Resorts and
the Town of Vail, within Lionshead, in conjunction with the Ever Vail development.
Skier drop-off is an essential component of a successful ski portal. Skier drop-off at
Ever Vail improves the guest's and local's experience. The transit facility in Ever Vail
should accommodate 10 to 14 short-term or skier drop-off parking spaces. Short-term
parking is a key aspect to community commercial uses, allowing customers to quickly
and conveniently patronize establishments. Outside of skier drop-off and pick-up during
peak periods, these spaces could be utilized as short-term parking serving the
commercial uses in close proximity, such as the grocery store.
Skier drop-off spaces are also envisioned in the parking structure on the west side of
Ever Vail. Approximately 50 parking spaces should be available for short-term parking
and skier drop-off when not in use for children's ski school activities, which
traditionally occur one day per week in the winter. These short-term parking spaces,
given their location approximately 500 feet from the gondola, would provide skier
dropoff capacity in the event the short-term spaces in the transit facility are displaced
due to expansion of bus activity.
Condition of Approvals
The following is the condition of Resolution Number 35 series of 2012.
Section 4. Final Plat.
a. The Final Plat for the Ever Vail Subdivision shall not be approved prior to
the relocation of the Frontage Road and compliance with all applicable
requirements of the Vail Town Code, including without limitation Section 13-3-14.
b. Because the Town Council finds and determines that a reasonable time
Town of Vail Page 6
November 15, 2016 - Page 30 0
for the relocation of the Frontage Road is eight years, the Preliminary Plan
approval set forth in Section 3 hereof shall not expire until December 31, 2020, in
lieu of the one-year expiration set forth in Section 13-3-6(A) of the Vail Town
Code . Prior to December 31, 2020, the applicant shall obtain approval of the
Final Plat for the Ever Vail Subdivision pursuant to Title 13 of the Vail Town
Code, or the Preliminary Plan approval set forth in this resolution shall expire
without any further action of the PEC or the Town Council.
c. If the Final Plat is consistent with the Preliminary Plan, the final approval
of the Final Plat shall be made by the Town Council, rather than the PEC, without
the necessity of a formal appeal by the Town Council pursuant to Section 13-3-
10 of the Vail Town Code. The Town Council's consideration of the Final Plat
shall occur at a public hearing, and no hearing before the PEC shall be required.
The criteria for approval of the Final Plat shall be as set forth in Section 13-3-7 of
the Vail Town Code.
d. If the Final Plat is inconsistent with the Preliminary Plan, the Final Plat
shall be submitted to the PEC first, pursuant to Section 13-3-9 of the Vail Town
Code, and the PEC shall make a recommendation to the Town Council. The
Town Council shall consider the Final Plat without the necessity of a formal
appeal pursuant to Section13-3-10 of the Vail Town Code. The Vail Town
Council's consideration of the Final Plat shall occur at a public hearing, and the
criteria for approval of the Final Plat shall be as set forth in Section 13-3-7 of the
Vail Town Code.
IV. VAIL RESORTS PARKING CAPITAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENT $4.3M
As part of the Vail conference center discussions of the early 2000's Vail Resorts
committed $4.3 million in exchange for taking the Vail Resorts maintenance facility
out of consideration as a site for a Vail Conference Center site. The commitment
was memorialized in 2004 with the development of the Gore Creek Townhomes and
subsequently amended to the Vail Resorts Core Site. The following is the specific
agreement language with regard to the commitment. The full agreement is attached
as well.
1. Capital Investment in Parking. Subject to the following terms and
conditions, Vail Associates agrees to make or cause the making of a capital
investment in public parking in the Town of Vail in the amount of $4,300,000, (the
"Parking Investment'). This obligation to make the Parking Investment will apply only
(i) to the establishment of new permanent public parking facilities in the Town that
are owned by the Town and that act as an increment to the inventory of public
parking facilities presently available in the Town, or alternatively (ii)to other means of
augmenting the Town's public parking supply that may be acceptable to and
approved in writing by Vail Associates in its discretion (the parking provided under
clause (i)or clause (11), as applicable, being referred to hereinafter as the "Requisite
Parking Increment'). If the Town is to provide the Requisite Parking Increment
pursuant to new permanent facilities under clause (i) above, then the schematic
design plans therefor (the "Parking Plans") will be subject to the prior written
approval of Vail Associates, not to be unreasonably withheld. Vail Associates agrees
Town of Vail Page 7
November 15, 2016 - Page 31 0
that it will fund the Parking Investment in hand to the Town within thirty (30) days
after satisfaction of the following conditions, with such satisfaction to be reasonably
substantiated to Vail Associates:
a) The Town has entered into bona fide binding construction
contracts or other agreements, made on an arm's length basis with third parties, for
the provision of the Requisite Parking Increment in accordance with the approved
Parking Plans;
b) Those applicable construction contracts or agreements expressly
establish payment and funding obligations of the Town ( the "Project Costs") in
furtherance of providing the Requisite Parking Increment in amounts that on their
face equal or exceed $4,300,000; and
c) On-site construction or other work for furnishing the Requisite Parking Increment
( the "Parking Project') has actually been commenced ("Project Commencement').
2. Diligent Completion. Following the Project Commencement and the
funding of the Parking Investment, the Town will cause the Parking Project to be
diligently prosecuted and completed in accordance with the approved Parking Plans
and the governing construction contracts or agreements, such that it maybe lawfully
used for its intended purposes
V. PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION TASK FORCE
The Vail Parking and Transportation Task Force has been instituted by various town
council's over the years to assist the town with parking and transportation
operations. It has also served as a required oversight committee regarding various
agreements as well as various Forest Service approvals for Vail Mountain over the
last 30 years.
The make-up of the task force has varied depending on the topics where input has
been sought. Generally, the advisory group has included Town Council and Senior
Vail Resorts representation, merchant and restaurant representation from both
Villages, citizen at large representation and the Town Manager's office. Other
representation has included Eagle County, CDOT and the USFS at various times.
There is staff support from the Public Works and Transportation Department, Police
Department, Community Development Department, Community Information, Vail
Resorts Operations and ECO Transit.
Typically the role of the task force has been to understand parking data, issues and
trends and to review the data and issues in depth to make recommendations to the
Town Council regarding various parking, traffic and transit operations with regard to
the winter season. Other roles over the years have included recommending physical
improvement implementation, input on significant transportation improvements as
well as providing input on master plan updates with regard to transportation.
Town of Vail Page 8
November 15, 2016 - Page 32 0
It is recommended the Parking and Transportation Task Force be reinstituted to
review and provide input and recommendations to the Vail Town Council on the
following topics: parking operations, transit operations and traffic operations focusing
on both the winter and summer winter seasons. The direction of the task force
should be to meet the goals and objectives of the parking plan as well as using the
transportation master plan as guidance with regard to recommendations put forward.
Input on the recommendations should be vetted in a public setting.
The task force is advisory while decision-making authority lies with the Vail Town
Council.
The make-up of the task force is recommended to include the following:
- -2 Vail Council members
- -2 representatives of Vail Resorts Senior Leadership Team
- -2 representatives of the restaurant community
- -2 representatives of the merchant community
- -1 representative from lodging
In selecting the above representatives, it is important to have geographical
representation from both Villages as well as West Vail
- -1 representative from community at -large
In the past, the task force appointments have been made by the mayor and staff
recommends this process continue.
Support will be provided by the above mentioned town departments, various Vail
Resorts departments, support from the Vail Chamber and Business Association,
other major large employers and large parking supply owners such as the hospital,
schools or private sector as well as ECO Transit, CDOT and USFS.
Meetings would be publicly noticed with a public input item included on all agendas.
The meetings would be chaired by one of the Town Council representatives.
Recommendations would be forwarded to the Town Council by a majority of a
quorum.
Parking Strategies identified in the 2012 Parking Strategic Plan which should be
addressed by the Parking Task Force would include the following:
4. Parking Operation policies should be reflective of both short term and long term
strategic goals Use of Parking Task Force previously worked on these issues but
was discontinued
• What
o Ensure maximum use of spaces Both structures are required to fill
before overflow situation occurs both winter and summer
Town of Vail Page 9
November 15, 2016 - Page 33 0
o Encourage carpooling and use of transit which reduces demand
During the 2015 winter season, this was encouraged and van pool
passes were issued for both construction and hospital employees
o If the demand exceeds the supply manage the demand down This
is where the situation exists today and should be implemented
o If supply exceeds the demand relax the demand but not to the
point of exceeding the supply
o The parking spaces are in demand by many interests. Balance the
use and availability of the spaces to achieve the town's desired
outcomes for each user group Do not have the tools to manage in
the summer
5. Summer parking management
• What
o Currently only Ford Park is managed
o Difficult to achieve behavior changes on a volunteer basis
o Vail Resorts announced Epic Discover Summer programs which
will put pressure on the summer demand
o Currently summer overflow exceeds winter overflow
Little interest to pursue besides this summer
6. Manage Overflow Parking situation
• What
o Manage overflow when Vail Village and Lionshead Structures fill
both winter and summer Ongoing front line meetings with Town of
Vail, Vail Resorts and special events
o Improve the overflow experience of users Town internal working
group and both management and physical improvements
suggestions
o Limit the extent of overflow supply Can't without restricting parking
after the supply is exceeded on the largest days both winter and
summer
o Determine if additional 3 day or less limited overflow areas are to
be established such as west of Donovan Park We are seeing more
extreme days each year should be reviewed above
7. Manage the oversize vehicle parking
• What
o The Lionshead oversize vehicle lot is the only area available for
larger vehicles, alternative locations may be needed in the future to

AMENDED AND RESTATED
PARKING CAPITAL INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED PARKING CPITAL INVESTMENT
AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made effective as of the day of
2005, by and between THE VAIL CORPORATION, D/B/A V IL ASSOCIA S, C., a
Colorado corporation ("Vail Associates"), and the TOWN OF VAIL, a municipal corporation
duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Colorado (the
"Town").
RECITALS
A. Vail Associates is the owner of certain real property in the Lionshead area
of the Town of Vail, Eagle County, Colorado, which is commonly referred to as the "Core" site
and which is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Core Property"). Vail
Associates has secured approvals from the Town's Planning and Environmental Commission and
other Town agencies of certain design and development plans (the "Core Design Approvals") for
the development of a mixed-use real estate project, including hotel/lodge and residential
condominium uses and certain commercial, public and recreational uses, to be located within the
Core Property, and presently intended to be developed under the trade name "Arrabelle at Vail
Square" (the "Core Project").
B. The parties mutually acknowledge and agree that as a requisite part of and
as a remaining Town requirement for the rendering of the Core Design Approvals, and as a
condition to Vail Associates' right and ability to undertake the Core Project, Vail Associates
must undertake certain obligations to make a capital investment in additional public parking
facilities for the Town of Vail, which undertaking shall be in accordance with and subject to the
terms of this Agreement. But for the making of this Agreement, Vail Associates would not be
eligible to secure the remaining building permit and other construction approvals from the Town
that are requisite to proceeding with the Core Project. This development requirement has arisen
in part because the parties have mutually determined, as a more appropriate allocation, to
attribute the parking capital investment undertaking to the Core Project in lieu of the Gore Creek
Project (as defined in the Original Agreement, which in turn is hereinafter defined). It is
mutually intended that Vail Associates' capital investment in this regard be applied efficiently to
maximize the resulting community benefit by the enhancement of public parking.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. Capital Investment in Parking. Subject to the following terms and
conditions, Vail Associates agrees to make or cause the making of a capital investment in public
parking in the Town of Vail in the amount of $4,300,000 (the "Parking Investment"). This
obligation to make the Parking Investment will apply only (i) to the establishment of new
permanent public parking facilities in the Town that are owned by the Town and that act as an
increment to the inventory of public parking facilities presently available in the Town, or
alternatively (ii) to other means of augmenting the Town's public parking supply that may be
i 1111 IIIIIUIIIIIII iIl i
November 15, 2016 - Page 36 0
acceptable to and approved in writing by Vail Associates in its discretion (the parking provided
under clause (i) or clause (ii), as applicable, being referred to hereinafter as the "Requisite
Parking Increment"). If the Town is to provide the Requisite Parking Increment pursuant to new
permanent facilities under clause (i) above, then the schematic design plans therefor (the
"Parking Plans") will be subject to the prior written approval of Vail Associates, not to be
unreasonably withheld. Vail Associates agrees that it will fund the Parking Investment in hand
to the Town within thirty (30) days after satisfaction of the following conditions, with such
satisfaction to be reasonably substantiated to Vail Associates:
(a) The Town has entered into bona fide binding construction
contracts or other agreements, made on an arm's-length basis with third parties, for the
provision of the Requisite Parking Increment in accordance with the approved Parking
Plans;
(b) Those applicable construction contracts or agreements expressly
establish payment and funding obligations of the Town (the "Project Costs") in
furtherance of providing the Requisite Parking Increment in amounts that on their face
equal or exceed $4,300,000; and
(c) On-site construction or other work for furnishing the Requisite
Parking Increment (the "Parking Project") has actually been commenced ("Project
Commencement").
Vail Associates' obligations hereunder are not conditioned upon its actual undertaking of the
Core Project.
2. Diligent Completion. Following the Project Commencement and the
funding of the Parking Investment, the Town will cause the Parking Project to be diligently
prosecuted and completed in accordance with the approved Parking Plans and the governing
construction contracts or agreements, such that it may be lawfully used for its intended purposes.
3. Remedies. This Agreement may be enforced by any remedies available at
law or equity, including, without limitation, the recovery of damages and, where appropriate,
injunctive relief to compel performance. All remedies shall be cumulative with and non-
exclusive of one another, and may be pursued successively or concurrently, and the exercise of
any one remedy shall not be construed as an election to the bar of any other remedy. However,
neither party shall be entitled to recover lost profits, or consequential or punitive damages.
4. Notices; Business Days. Any notice required or permitted under the terms
of this Agreement shall be in writing, may be given by the parties hereto or such parties'
respective legal counsel, and shall be deemed given and received (i) when hand delivered to the
intended recipient, by whatever means; (ii) three (3) business days after the same is deposited in
the United States mails, with adequate postage prepaid, and sent by registered or certified mail,
with return receipt requested; (iii) one (1) business day after the same is deposited with an
overnight courier service of national or international reputation having a delivery area
encompassing the address of the intended recipient, with the delivery charges prepaid; or

This alternative will be evaluated during the
current entitlement process
November 15, 2016 - Page 62 of 72
OPTION #1
Ford Park Surface
Pros:
• Most spaces for $ spent
• Creates more net parking
immediately
• Location — "summer" and "winter
special events"
• Can use RETT dollars
• Some $$ currently budgeted
• Fits Ford Park Master plan intent
(no new structures)
• Preserves future opportunities at
Ford Park as well as Lionshead
• Construction impacts could be
contained within off-seasons
• Could begin in April, 2011
• Lower operating costs
• Better return on investment
• Could be a guest amenity
dropping guests near the lifts
Cons:
• Location winter
• Will need frequent shuttle
schedule
• Requires relocation of tennis
facilities
• Less revenue than a full parking
garage
• May encourage/increase traffic
• Option uses CDOT property,
which will come with issues
• Changes snow removal priorities
November 15, 2016 - Page 63 of 72
OPTION #2
Lionshead Parking Structure Expansion
Pros:
• Adds to Vail standard for skier
parking.
• Able to us TIF $$$
• No CDOT issues involved
• Ability to set up a reserve of
parking at Lionshead for future
use
• Pushes guest through retail
portal
Cons:
• Winter Only — adds more of the
same (turning cars to where they
don't want to be)
• Impacts future uses
• Construction impacts are greater
— loss of summer parking and
early winter parking for one
season.
• High operational costs
• Building over 30 years old
structure that has 30 years left
• EverVail comes into play
• High construction costs
• Return on investment is poor
November 15, 2016 - Page 64 of 72
OPTION #3
West Vail Frontage Roads
Pros:
• Could be built in first
• Demonstrates progress to resolve
CDOT issues
• Net parking increases
• Makes existing spaces safer which
increases guest experience
• Buys time- allows Town to see
impacts from the completion of
construction/development projects
• Smaller investment now
• Use 7 days/week
• Potentially frees up traffic out of Main
Vail and improve 1-70 interchange
operations.
• Maybe allowed under Federal
guidelines
• Known user patterns
• W Vail marr_hantc like arlrlitinnal
Cons:
• No return on investment unless Town
charges or sells a seasonal pass
• Impacts bus service
• Adds even more "free" parking which
impacts parking revenue
• Location — Convenience —
Predictability (first come/first serve)
• Uses CDOT property for our solutions
• Gives a "truck stop" look appearance
• Loose parking during pass closures
to overflow truck parking
• Re -prioritizes snow removal
operations
• School bus stop & skier stop shared —
increases this use 7 days a week vs
non school days
November 15, 2016 - Page 65 of 72
Recommendation
Frontage Roads West Vail and Middle Creek and
Ford Park Surface Option which provides:
• Summer and winter parking
• Improvements to Ford Park
• Adds or formalizes up to 528 spaces for $ 19.6 million
• Could be a mix of revenue and non revenue spaces
• Less operational costs to the Town
• Flexibility, preserves sites for future uses
• Evervail to be reviewed on its on merits
• Preserves 317 overflow spaces closer in
• Concentrates frontage road parking away from village entrances
• Financially achievable
November 15, 2016 - Page 66 of 72
Next Steps
• Evaluate tennis center relocation/golf course options -August
• Evaluate the various Ford Park surface options and review impacts,
phasing and enhancements for the park- August
• Conduct Public input for each of the segment of the solution, Ford Park,
Vail Golf Course and West Vail Frontage Roads- August
• Meet with CDOT and FHWA to discuss options at Ford Park and West Vail
Frontage Roads- July
• Undertake a financial analysis of options -July
• Refine options at Ford Park once new location of the tennis center is
determined - September
• Amend Ford Park Master Plan if needed - Fall
• Document the work and recommendations into a Final Parking Master
Plan and strategic actions steps- Fall

TOWN OF VAIN:
Memorandum
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: November 15, 2016
SUBJECT: Mill Levy Ordinance
I. SUMMARY
Authorization for the collection of property taxes in 2017
II. DISCUSSION
You will be asked to approve the attached mill levy ordinance upon first reading on Tuesday
evening. This ordinance authorizes the collection of property taxes in 2017 based upon 2016
assessed valuations of property within the town's boundaries. Eagle County is responsible for
assessing values and for collecting property taxes on our behalf. The town is required by
Colorado state law to certify the mill levy by December 15 of each year. Since two readings of
an ordinance are required, we will bring the first reading on Tuesday and the second reading on
December 6th to enable us to meet the December 15 date. The attached ordinance is based on
preliminary assessed valuations from the county (as of August, 2016).
The town's base mill levy as shown in the ordinance is 4.69 mills and the abatement levy is .015
mils. Abatement results when a taxpayer protests an assessed valuation after the normal
protest period and is refunded a portion of the tax already due or paid. The abatement mill levy
allows the town to recoup the refunded amount. This abatement levy of .015 mils equates to an
additional $1.20 per year for a $1 million home.
The property tax authorized by the attached ordinance will generate $4.7 million in revenue in
2017, representing approximately 8% of the town's total revenue.

ORDINANCE NO. 32
SERIES OF 2016
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE LEVY ASSESSMENT AND COLLECTION
OF TOWN AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES DUE FOR THE 2016 TAX YEAR AND

WHEREAS, it is necessary for the Town Council to provide for the levy, assessment and

NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the Town Council of the Town of Vail,
Colorado, that:
1. For the purpose of defraying part of the operating and capital expenses of the

tax of 4.705 mills upon each dollar of the total assessed valuation of $991,749,860 for the 2016
tax year of all taxable property within the Town, which will result in a gross tax levy of
$4,666,183 calculated as follows:
Base mill levy 4.690 $4,651,307
Abatement levy .015 _ 14,876
Total mill levy 4.705 $4,666,183
Said assessment shall be duly made by the County of Eagle, State of Colorado, as directed by the
Colorado Revised Statutes (1973 as amended), and as otherwise required by law.
2. If any part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for
any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions
of this ordinance; and the Town Council hereby declares it would have passed this ordinance,
and each part, section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, regardless of the fact that
any one or more parts, sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid.
3. The Town Council hereby finds, determines, and declares that this ordinance is
necessary and proper for the health, safety, and welfare of the Town of Vail and the inhabitants
thereof.
4. The repeal or the repeal and reenactment of any provision of the Municipal Code
of the Town of Vail as provided in this ordinance shall not affect any right which has accrued,

revive any provision or any ordinance previously repealed or superseded unless expressly stated
herein.
5. All bylaws, orders, resolutions, and ordinances, or parts thereof, inconsistent
herewith are repealed to the extent only of such inconsistency. This repealer shall not be
construed to revise any bylaw, order, resolution, or ordinance, or part thereof, theretofore
repealed.

PUBLISHED ONCE IN FULL, this 15th day of November, 2016. A public hearing shall be
held hereon at 6 P.M. on the 6th day of December, 2016, at the regular meeting of the Town
