BACKGROUND: The Town of Vail community survey has been used to probe public policy issues and solicit feedback on additional topics of community interest. It has also been used to measure the town's operational performance as compared with previous years. The most recent surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2016.

ATTACHMENTS: Description Community Survey Memorandum 2018 Draft Survey 2016 Survey Results Survey Invitation Postcard February 6, 2018 - Page 10 of 7 TOWN OF VAIIL' Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From: Greg Clifton, Town Manager Suzanne Silverthorn, Communications Director Date: February 6, 2018 Subject: Discussion of 2018 Community Survey BACKGROUND The Town of Vail community survey has been used to probe public policy issues and solicit feedback on additional topics of community interest. It has also been used to measure the town's operational performance as compared with previous years. The most recent surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2016. A 2018 survey has been budgeted to coincide with the new Town Council term and to benchmark municipal service levels. The purpose of this work session is to receive direction from the Town Council related to the survey details, including a schedule, methodology and focus areas. Chris Cares of RRC Associates, the town's research contractor, will facilitate the discussion. II. SURVEY OBJECTIVES The purpose of the Town of Vail community survey is to: • Measure how the Town is performing, by types of services and departments. • Identify current needs and priorities with emphasis on policy questions identified by Town Council. • Identify future needs and goals of the community. • Solicit open-ended comments that provide an opportunity to hear verbatim suggestions and input. • Provide some background on Town initiatives that might be of interest to citizens (i.e. two-way communications on topics such as Council's long-term goals). • Maintain some consistent questions and formats over time so that results may be tracked over time. • Provide an opportunity for citizens to sign up to receive additional Town information through e -services. III. 2018 SURVEY DEVELOPMENT A copy of the 2016 community survey with a summary of results on selected questions, as well as a postcard invitation sample are included as an attachment for reference. Also included is a working draft of the 2018 survey. This draft reflects some preliminary input from town staff that resulted in suggestions to delete some questions and to potentially rework others. The blue shaded questions represent some examples of new or reworded questions designed to probe topics that may be of particular interest to Council. Staff is also prepared to explore other topics identified by Council on Feb. 6. IV. COMMUNITY SURVEY METHODOLOGY February 6, 2018 - Page 11 of 7 The proposed methodology for the 2018 survey would use two techniques: 1) A "statistically valid" survey distributed to a random sampling of approximately 4,500 households (2,500 residents and 2,000 part-time residents) using an initial postcard mailing inviting recipients to enter a password to complete the survey online. (Note, as in the past, two passwords per household would be provided to encourage broad participation). This mailing would be followed by a second postcard reminder to encourage further response. RRC has used this two -card mailing technique with success in other communities. 2) Promotion of an open invitation to complete the survey online without a password restriction. In addition, staff recommends the return of an incentive program implemented at Council's suggestion in 2016 in which a weekly drawing is promoted for one of five $100 Visa gift cards to encourage participation. The initial postcard invitation mailing would be based on a list of Vail households to be obtained through the Town or other sources. In addition, paper copies of the survey would be made available upon request as an alternative to the on-line survey; this would be described on the postcard invitation. Additionally, the survey would be available for distribution in Town of Vail buildings as a mail -back option. These techniques have been used successfully in the past in Vail. The proposed methods will permit comparability to past research and represent an inclusive outreach to citizens with several different types of invitations to participate. The results will provide a proven tool for understanding community sentiment. V. TIMELINE A proposed schedule for the Feb. 6 Afternoon Session Feb. 20 Afternoon Session Week of Feb. 27 Week of March 5 March 26 March 26 to April 16 April 18 June 2018 survey project is as follows: Review of draft survey and discussion of community issues/topics by Town Council Survey review and refinement by Town Council, if needed Finalization of survey Mailing postcards to Vail households to invite participation (includes a sampling of second homeowners and business representatives).

ATTACHMENTS: Description Memorandum February 6, 2018 - Page 38 of 7 rowN OFD } Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From: Department of Public Works Date: February 6, 2018 Subject: Discussion of a draft Ordinance regarding the operation of Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices and Electric Assisted Bicycles I. INTRODUCTION The Town Council has recently discussed changes to Section 7-4-4 of the Town Code in regards to two types of electric vehicles: Electric Assisted Bicycles (EABs) and Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices (EPAMDs), also known as Segways. The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss the proposed amendments. The first reading of a revised ordinance would occur at an upcoming evening Town Council meeting. II. BACKGROUND A. Electronic Personal Assistive Mobility Devices In 2011, the Vail Town Council passed an ordinance allowing EPAMDs on the town's paved recreation trails. In late 2017, the current Town Council raised concerns about EPAMD conflicts however, after a discussion with the owners of Vail Segway, a local business operating Segway tours, the Council generally agreed to a trial period and discussed options to better regulate their use. The attached draft ordinance recommends the following: • The town will allow one licensed EPAMD business operation in Vail • The licensed operator can only provide supervised "tours" with a maximum of six participants plus up to two guides • Unsupervised rentals of EPAMDs to individuals will not be allowed • The updated ordinance would not affect the use of personal owner -operated EPAMDs except in currently restricted areas such as playgrounds, turf areas, etc. B. Electric Assisted Bicycles In 2017, the State of Colorado revised laws regulating EABs to allow them to be operated on paved recreation trails, subject to local jurisdiction. The revised state law also creates three "classes" of EABs and defines age requirements for Class 3 EABs. At a December 2017 Council meeting, the Town Council agreed that the town ordinance should more closely follow state law. The attached draft ordinance recommends the following: February 6, 2018 - Page 39 of 7 • Defines EABs in accordance with state law • Defines three "Classes" of EABs in accordance with state law • Adds "soft surface trails" to the list of prohibited areas III.

BACKGROUND: Resolve conflicts created while reviewing and construction of new residential duplexes. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Memorandum Exhibit A Exhibit B February 6, 2018 - Page 45 of 7 TOWN OF VAIL' Memorandum To: Vail Town Council From: Town of Vail Community Development Department Building and Fire Board of Appeals Christopher "CJ" Jarecki, Chief Building Official Date: February 6, 2018 Subject: Ordinance No. 14, Series of 2015 — Amendment/Modification Summary: The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Vail Town Council regarding adoption of an amendment to the International Residential Code as recommended by the Building and Fire Board of Appeals. The members of the Building and Fire Board of Appeals making this recommendation are: • Mark J. Mueller, PE • Steve Loftus • Rollie Kjesbo • Kathy Langenwalter, RA • Kyle Webb, RA • Mark Hollenbeck • Mark Donaldson, RA Structural Engineer Mechanical Engineer General Contractor Architect Architect General Contractor Architect In order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the International Residential Code (IRC), it has become apparent that, due to the characteristics of the majority of two- family residential units within the Town of Vail, an exception to a code section is necessary. Background: In general, a typical "duplex" is regulated as a two-family dwelling unit in accordance with the IRC, with no assumed property line. As such, a permitted two-family dwelling under the IRC needs no additional protection for proposed openings (e.g.: windows and doors) and projections (e.g.: roof eaves). However, when performing design, code review, construction and subsequent inspections on these duplexes, it becomes impossible to meet the prescriptive requirements set forth within the IRC when property/lot lines dividing the dwelling units are known to exist. 12/14/2017 Page 1 February 6, 2018 - Page 46 of 7 The root of the situation stems from adding property lines along the shared wall of the two-family dwelling for financial gains. The practice of this type of subdivision has been in place for many years and continues to occur on a regular basis. When subdivision happens to existing buildings, the Building Department has no say in the matter and quite honestly, the addition of this "imaginary line" has not made the building any less safe. But, if the line is indicated on a new drawing when presented to the Building Department for review, it cannot be ignored and a majority of new designs cannot meet code requirements. The specific code section in question is R302, Fire -Resistant Construction (see Exhibit A). The section details the requirements for all fire-resistant rated construction when designing and building a residential structure. Within the section, Tables R302.1(1) and R302.1(2) deal specifically with exterior walls, projections, openings and penetrations and what is required of these construction elements in their relation to lot lines (i.e: separation distances). While examining the tables, it is easy to determine that when property/lot lines are indicated, any projections or openings that encroach upon those lines are not permitted — specifically when dealing with more modern, offset style duplexes which are commonplace here in Vail (see Exhibit B). This has backed the Building Department and the design community into a corner when trying to ensure code compliance. Opinions relating to this matter have been requested and received from numerous experts in the building code industry, including other Building Officials and the International Code Council. These opinions have varied slightly, but most came to the same conclusion: with automatic sprinkler systems and the use of section R104.11 of the IRC (Alternate Materials, Designs and Methods), each jurisdiction has the ability to ensure that the life safety intent of the code is achieved without meeting the specific, prescriptive methods. To quote the response received from the International Code Council — "...In my opinion, it is up to local jurisdictions to establish how they are going to address these issues..." The Building and Fire Board of Appeals feels that adopting the change indicated below will clarify how the Town of Vail is addressing the issue of walls, projections, openings or penetrations that occur along the lot line that divides the duplex and the platted property. Action Requested: Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny revisions to Ordinance No.14, Series of 2015 based on recommendation from the Building and Fire Board of Appeals. 12/14/2017 Page 2 February 6, 2018 - Page 47 of 7 Recommendation: The Building and Fire Board of Appeals is seeking to amend Section 302.1 of the International Residential Code with the addition of an exception to the list of current exceptions. "6. Walls, projections, openings or penetrations of two-family dwelling units with a lot line separating the units along the shared wall." Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 12/14/2017 Page 3 February 6, 2018 - Page 48 of 7 BUILDING PLANNING TOWN COUNCIL - EXHIBIT A R301.6 Roof load.

Meza and Morales were absent. The Board reviewed and approved the December 12, 2017 meeting results with a correction. MOTION: Wilkins SECOND: McDougall VOTE: 3-0 Next item for discussion was the Chamonix Vail trade selection and 2nd lottery drawing. Wilkins stated he was present at the mock lottery and the informational meeting on January 8, 2018. McDougall thanked staff for their efforts on the information session. Discussion ensued as to how the lottery will run. Staff reviewed the process with VLHA. The Board asked if new lottery applicants will have to take a homebuyer class. Staff responded yes and would allow buyers to provide certificate no later than June 30, 2018. Class options have been posted to the Chamonix Vail website and the Valley Home Store was hopeful to have a spring class. Wilkins mentioned there would be a need for flexibility since some closings are soon and new buyers may not have financing until after the closing date listed. Lindstrom wanted to discuss the housing policy memo he had previously provided other members. Clifton interjected he had not seen the memo and proceeded to review process, policies and the Housing Authority board roles. Clifton stated he believes the policy needs to originate with Town Council not appointed boards and commissions. He is concerned Lindstrom is delegating to staff and that is Clifton's prevue. Page 1 February 6, 2018 - Page 57 of 7 Lindstrom said housing policy questions were brought up at a Town Council meeting and all council members said the policies should be reviewed. Clifton thinks that was a stretch. He said beginning dialogue with Council is OK not with staff then to Council. Lindstrom pointed out items mentioned are on the books today. Clifton said it needs to be started at Council. Wilkins said the Board needs a mechanism that will allow policy change moving forward and the Board needs to be involved. The partnership with VLHA and staff has help move housing forward. Lindstrom stated Council has final vote and explained VLHA is teeing up conversation. Clifton explained the correct process is to create a meeting with Council to discuss suggestions and policies. The Board needs to act in accordance with processes. All discussions need to be transparent and all parties involved should be present. Clifton wanted to know when the employee housing unit (EHU) delayed occupancy was authorized by Council. Let Clifton know when to add VLHA items to Council agenda for discussion. He will add policy changes and delayed EHU occupancy. Let Clifton know when VLHA wants to meet with Council and he will add to agenda. Linstrom asked if VLHA could review the Housing Director job description and questioned what the Town is doing in the interim. Per Clifton, George Ruther will continue to wrap up current projects and Clifton will use Lynne Campbell and others for new things. He said the draft job description is ready and when it is ready he will send to the Board for comments. Wilkins motioned to close the regular meeting and enter into executive session per C.R.S. §24- 6-402(4)(a)(e) - to discuss the purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer, or sale of property interests; and to determine positions, develop a strategy and instruct negotiators, regarding: submitted Vail InDEED applications. MOTION: Wilkins SECOND: McDougall VOTE: 3-0 McDougall motioned to end the executive session and reopen the regular meeting. MOTION: McDougall SECOND: Wilkins VOTE: 3-0 The Board directed staff to pursue an offer for 2395 W. Bald Mountain Road per action resulting from executive session. MOTION: Linstrom SECOND: Wilkins VOTE: 3-0 Clifton told the Board to put a list together of housing items for discussion and he will put on a work session. Council wants to know what the next project is. Page 2 February 6, 2018 - Page 58 of 7 Linstrom explained the policy memo mentioned previously is to identify what they policies are and if they should be modified. He acknowledged VLHA reviews and takes to Council work session to get direction. Wilkins made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 5:00 PM.

Year to date collections of $25,591,483 are down 0.7% from prior year and up 0.2% from budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was up 2.1% for December. Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) RETT collections through December 31 total $6,231,061 down 8.4% from 2016 and up 6.5% from budget. The annual 2017 RETT budget totals $5.85 million. 2016 collections included the sale of both the Vail Cascade and the Four Seasons. During 2017 there were a total of 8 properties sold for over $10 million, 17 properties sold between $5 and $10 million and 43 properties sold between $2.5 and $5 million. These properties accounted for 62% of the total collections year to date RETT collections. January collections total $266,777. Construction Use Tax Use Tax collections through December 31 total $1,765,030 up 1.3% compared to $1,743,113 from this time last year. The annual budget totals $1,545,000. January collections total $128,120. Parking Revenue Season to date: Pass sales from November through January 31 total $1,123,038 up 25.3% from prior winter season. The significant increase in pass sales was largely due to the purchase of blue passes by Vail Health due to loss of parking during construction. Daily sales from the parking structures from November through January 31 total approximately $1,395,613, down 23.3% from the prior winter season as a result of the low snow fall in early season. February 6, 2018 - Page 68 of 7 Together, daily and pass sales from November through January 31 total $2,518,921, down 7.2% from the prior winter season. Summary Across all funds, 2017 total revenue of $59.8 million is up 0.5% from the amended budget and down 2.1% from prior year. The majority of the difference from prior year is related to decreased daily parking sales, and the Real Estate Transfer Tax received for the sale of the Four Seasons in December 2016. -2 February 6, 2018 - Page 69 of 7 VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO ITEM/TOPIC: Future Meeting Agenda Topics (proposed) ATTACHMENTS: Description Future Meeting Topics TOWN Of UAIL February 6, 2018 - Page 70 of 7 rowN OFD } Memorandum To: Mayor and Town Council From: Patty McKenny, Town Clerk Date: February 6, 2018 Subject: Proposed agenda topics for future meeting agendas The listing below reflects proposed topics to be scheduled at future Town Council meetings and is informational only.
