direction to the staff on the undergrounding projects. Based on the option
selected Town Council is asked to award the appropriate contracts and
direct staff to provide the necessary funds to be included in the second
reading of the second budget supplemental for 2108.
Background: Holy Cross Energy provides 1 percent of all energy charges
to the Town as a community enhancement fund per the franchise
agreement. The town of Vail has used the fund exclusively to underground
electric utility lines. In June of 2017, staff presented two significant projects
to council to consider for use of the funds: the Bighorn Road project and
the Intermountain S. Frontage Road project. The staff has designed, bid
and begun some of the work. The staff is returning to council with the
options for contract awards to complete the project as well as budget
recommendations to fund the projects.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends the Town Council complete the
Bighorn and Intermountain undergrounding projects in 2018 and award both
contracts to RPM excavating and direct the town manager to execute
contracts in a form approved by the town attorney. Supplement the budget
to complete the projects and direct the town manager to develop with Holy
Cross Energy on a new franchise agreement for 2019.

Memorandum
TO: Town Council
FROM: Community Development Department
DATE: July 3, 2018
SUBJECT: An update to the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan, pursuant to Section
12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code. (PEC17-0049)
Applicant: Town of Vail, represented by Braun Associates, Inc.
Planner: Chris Neubecker
I. Purpose
The purpose of this memo is to present the recommendations of the draft 2018 Open
Lands Plan Update, specifically Chapter 2, Environmentally Sensitive Lands. For a copy
of the draft 2018 Open Lands Plan Update, please select the following link:
https://www.vailgov.com/openlandsupdate
II. Environmentally Sensitive Lands
The draft 2018 Open Lands Plan Update identifies 16 parcels as Environmentally
Sensitive Lands which should be considered for either acquisition by the Town of Vail or
another form of protection. For the purposes of this plan, Environmentally Sensitive
Lands are those properties containing riparian areas, wetlands, geologic hazards, steep
slopes, wildlife habitat, or act as neighborhood buffers. Environmentally Sensitive Lands
were identified in the 1994 Comprehensive Open Lands Plan as a priority, and the
feedback from the community during the recent public planning process confirmed this
as a priority. To date, 30 of the 51 Action Items in the 1994 Plan have been completed,
or have been achieved in other ways.
The 1994 Plan also suggested the use of conservation easements or the Designated
Open Space program to protect lands. To date, the Town has used the Designated
Open Space process to protect 57 parcels, totaling 533 acres. During the planning
process, we heard support from the community for stronger methods of protection,
including more discussion on conservation easements.
During the planning process, 106 private, undeveloped properties were identified and
studied for potential protection. Of these 106 parcels, 16 are identified in the draft plan
July 3, 2018 - Page 13 of 185
for protection. Of the privately owned lands studied, those identified for acquisition or
protection include parcels that:
• Are located adjacent to Gore Creek or one of its tributaries; or
• Benefit wildlife habitat by providing movement corridors or other benefits; or
• Are inaccessible due to terrain or ownership, or where access would have
negative impacts on the land; or
• Include steep slopes or other environmental hazards.
Protection of Environmentally Sensitive Lands can take a variety of methods. In addition
to outright acquisition by the Town, other potential forms of protection might include
conservation easements to protect the land, rezoning of the property to limits its
development potential, or requiring clustering development onto one smaller portion of
the parcel leaving other parts undeveloped. Each of these scenarios would involve
discussions between the Town of Vail and the property owners to consider the best
approach for protection.
III. Recommended Action Items and Implementation Steps
Chapter 5 of the draft 2018 Open Lands Plan Update includes a list of Action Items for
consideration. These Action Items include actions that the Town should take to
implement the Plan, including acquisition of lands, acquisition of easements,
construction of trails, and/or development or use of public lands or facilities.
Action Items in the draft plan relating specifically to Environmentally Sensitive Lands
include:

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
ITEM/TOPIC: Bighorn Road and Intermountain South Frontage Road Electric Underground
Project discussion, contact award and budget modifications
PRESENTER(S): Greg Hall, Director of Public Works
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: The Town Council is being asked to provide direction
to the staff on the undergrounding projects. Based on the option selected Town Council is asked to
award the appropriate contracts and direct staff to provide the necessary funds to be included in
the second reading of the second budget supplemental for 2108.
BACKGROUND: Holy Cross Energy provides 1 percent of all energy charges to the Town as a
community enhancement fund per the franchise agreement. The town of Vail has used the fund
exclusively to underground electric utility lines. In June of 2017, staff presented two significant
projects to council to consider for use of the funds: the Bighorn Road project and the
Intermountain S. Frontage Road project. The staff has designed, bid and begun some of the work.
The staff is returning to council with the options for contract awards to complete the project as well
as budget recommendations to fund the projects.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Town Council complete the Bighorn and
Intermountain undergrounding projects in 2018 and award both contracts to RPM excavating and
direct the town manager to execute contracts in a form approved by the town attorney. Supplement
the budget to complete the projects and direct the town manager to develop with Holy Cross
Energy on a new franchise agreement for 2019.

Memorandum
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Greg Hall, Director of Public Works and Transportation
DATE: July 3, 2018
SUBJECT: Undergrounding of Holy Cross Energy overhead lines
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this meeting is to present an update on the undergrounding of Holy Cross
Energy overhead lines.
Information to be presented includes:
• Holy Cross Energy Franchise Agreement and the 1% Community Enhancement funds
• Update on construction costs for Bighorn Road and Intermountain South Frontage Road
electric line undergrounding projects
• Options to complete the work for council direction regarding the undergrounding
projects, contractor award and budget modifications
11. BACKGROUND
In 1999 Holy Cross Energy and the Town of Vail entered into a 20 year franchise agreement,
which included establishment of a community enhancement fund, collected by Holy Cross. The
utility assesses an additional 1% to customers to generate funds to be used by the Town. In this
timeframe the Town of Vail has received $ 2,682,964 of which $ 1,612,868 has been used
exclusively for the undergrounding of overhead powerlines. There are nearly 7 miles of
overhead lines remaining within the Town of Vail. The town received $ 196,407 from
community enhancement funds this past year.
The initial project was the undergrounding of power lines along the South Frontage Road from
the west vail interchange to Cascade Village. In subsequent years the town has participated
with individuals and neighborhoods to leverage funds to underground overhead lines. In 2013
as the funding was being drawn down the town identified with Holy Cross Energy 5 lines as
priorities in order to better plan over the long term the use of the community enhancement
funds. These 5 projects were estimated at the time to cost in the millions to complete.
Two of those overhead line projects were the Bighorn Road and the Intermountain South
Frontage Road.
July 3, 2018 - Page 83 of 185
III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bighorn Road Project
This project was started nearly 8 years ago and has been incrementally completed as funds and
funding partners have allowed. In this time frame, approximately 1300 linear feet of line has
been undergrounded. Town staff has been working to secure the remaining funds to complete
the remaining 3300 feet of lines. It was anticipated in 2017 the town would be able to complete
the project. See attached map for details.
Intermountain South Frontage Road Project
The town evaluated this project as part of the initial undergrounding phase. The 4200 linear feet
Intermountain underground routing Holy Cross had selected at that time was to follow the
existing line. In addition, the town could only advance up to a maximum of three years of future
payments from Holy Cross, limiting the funds available for undergrounding. This required the
town to prioritize between the two sections of South Frontage Road and it was decided to
undertake the portion from West Vail interchange to Cascade. In 2013 the town added the
remaining Intermountain portion as one of the five prioritized projects. See attached map
VI. PROJECT COSTS AND REVENUES
On June 6, 2017 the town staff presented to the Town Council update on both the Intermountain
and Bighorn Road undergrounding projects. The estimated cost of both projects was
$ 2,153,000. At that time, it was decided to move forward with engineering to pursue both
projects. The Town engaged an engineer to prepare construction documents for the two
projects. Late last year, an opportunity presented itself regarding a portion of the Intermountain
project to jointly share in some of the construction costs with ERWSD, and the Intermountain
project was split into two phases. There are two components to each project. The town is
responsible for excavating and installing the infrastructure of conduits and vaults along a Holy
Cross approved route, including all road repairs. The Town contracts to have this work
performed. The Town also contracts with Holy Cross Energy for their engineering of the system,
the supply of the conduits and vaults to be installed along with the installation of new electric
lines, transformers and switch gears as well as the removal of the old lines and poles. In
addition, to the work required to have the main power line undergrounded, secondary services
are also required to be underground from overhead transformers on poles to ground set
transformers to the service meter. Holy Cross Energy does not perform any work for the
secondary services. The work required of secondary services requires an electrician, excavator,
and electrical plan and permits.
The Town entered into agreements with Holy Cross Electric on April 3 of this year, for each
project for the entire portion of the Holy Cross work. On May 1, of this year the town entered
into an intergovernmental agreement with ERWSD to jointly fund the eastern phase of the
Intermountain project infrastructure installation. On June 2, the Town received two bids for the
infrastructure installation projects for Bighorn Road as well as the western phase of the
Intermountain project. Having the complete costs defined by contractors and bids, the town of
Vail was able to discuss with Holy Cross a prudent way to complete these projects over the next
two years. The following is being proposed for council consideration.

VII. PROJECT OPTIONS
1. The Town could follow through with the Bighorn Project this year and rebid the western
half of Intermountain next year.
or
2. The town could provide additional funds this year and negotiate with Holy Cross to have
the Town's advancement be included in any pay back and complete all the excavation
and infrastructure installation this year.
or
3. The town could loan itself the funding gap to complete the two projects now. The town
would then pay itself back with enhancement funds as they are provided by Holy Cross
Energy over the next 5 years.
The town will enter into a new franchise agreement with Holy Cross in 2019 to fund the work to
be completed in 2019 and pay back the town for funds expended in 2018 beyond the allocated
funds available.
VIII. ACTION REQUESTED
The Town Council is being asked to provide direction to the staff on the options presented to
complete the undergrounding projects. Based on the option selected, Town Council is asked to
then award the appropriate contracts and direct staff to provide the necessary funds to be
included in the second reading of the second budget supplemental for 2109.

TOWN OF VAIL:
Memorandum
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: July 3, 2018
SUBJECT: 2018 Supplemental Appropriation
I. SUMMARY
On Tuesday evening you will be asked to approve Ordinance 11, second supplemental
appropriation of 2018 upon second reading.
This proposed budget supplemental request will adjust the budget to reflect $4,125,650
of additional revenue and proposes an increase of $6,338,871 to expenditures across
all funds. The fund statements are also attached.
II. DISCUSSION
Responses to Council Mid -Year Funding Inquiries
The following reflects information requested by Council during the first reading on June
19th regarding the mid -year funding requests. Staff recommendations for these requests
are included as Attachment A.
• During the 2018 Annual Council Contribution process Vail International Dance
Festival requested $65,000 of funding, a 33% increase from 2017 to assist with
continued growth of the event but based on 2018 operating budget guidelines,
signature events were not awarded increases in funding. Council contributed
$48,962 to Vail Dance in 2018, flat with 2017. This mid cycle request from Vail
Dance is an additional $5,800 of funding for a mini pod cast series,
"Conversations with Dance". Staff has recommended funding $4,600 due to
anticipated ticket sales of $1,200.
• Per Council's request, Shipstead Entertainment has provided information
regarding the Vail HolidaysTM Ice Skating Festival marketing plan as well as the
estimated economic impact of the event. Please see Attachment B from
Shipstead Entertainment.
July 3, 2018 - Page 92 of 185
Changes from first reading
The following items reflect updates and additional requests since the first reading:
General Fund
Budgeted revenue is requested to be adjusted by a $170,286 reimbursement for
deployments to eight separate wildfires, including the Summit County Buffalo Fire, the
416 Fire in Durango, and Mallard Fire in Texas. $136,293 of the reimbursement will be
directly offset by personnel and travel expenditures for those incidents. The additional
$33,993 is payment for the use of the town vehicles and equipment during wildfire
deployment.
Additionally, staff is requesting to increase budgeted expenditures by $25,300 related to
town owned housing units. $4,500 is requested for monthly condo association dues
and utilities for the new Altair Vail unit. The remaining $20,800 is the town's portion for
special homeowner association assessments to replace the original roof at Vail Heights
($14,800) and to replace water heaters at the Gore Range Condos ($6,000).
A late mid-cycle funding request was submitted from Highline for $270,000 to revitalize
the early winter Snow Daze event already approved for funding ($30,000) by the
Commission on Special Events (CSE). Combined with some sponsorship funding and
in partnership with Vail Resorts ($200K), the estimated expanded event budget of
$630,000 would include 4 days of in -town activation and 2 free concerts
(Friday/Saturday) in Ford Park. The town, Vail Resorts and Highline Entertainment will
work together with local lodging properties to promote extended lodging stays (greatly
reduced pricing for Thursday or Sunday night stays, for example). Please see
Attachment C for Highline's application for funding.
The addition of the above adjustments to the General Fund 2018 budget will result in a
net deficit of $1,726,006 with a resulting fund balance of $27.6M by the end of 2018, or
70% of revenues.
Capital Projects Fund
Budgeted revenue will be adjusted by an interagency reimbursement of $260,302 for
the county -wide radio purchase coordinated by the town. While the total cost of the
radio purchase of $860,305 was already carried over from the 2017 budget, the revenue
should carry over as well.
Staff is requesting $12,000 to replace 40 body worn cameras (BWC). The current
cameras, purchased in January 2016 and beyond the warranty date, are failing to hold a
battery charge through a shift and continually need to be repaired. The manufacturer is
offering the town new cameras with an extended warranty at a reduced cost. Staff
believes this is the best option for keeping the BWC system operable.

July 3, 2018 - Page 93 of 185
Relating to a presentation on July 3rd to Council, staff is requesting $2,066,938 to
contract for a two-year project to underground utilities in the Bighorn and Intermountain
neighborhoods. The project will be reimbursed by the Holy Cross Community
Enhancement Fund over a 4 year span. The Enhancement Fund has an available
balance of $1.1 million to date. The town would use that amount, plus provide up front
funding for the remainder as an "advance" on future enhancement fund collections.
Staff estimates an annual collection of $250K per the franchise agreement with the
town.
Dispatch Services Fund
Budgeted revenue is requested to be adjusted by an increase of $4,981 to be directly
offset by personnel expenditures for deployment to the Bocco Wildfire in Wolcott, CO.
Timber Ridge Fund
The Timber Ridge Operating Committee is requesting $8,000 to perform a rockfall
hazard and mitigation study, similar to what was done for the LionsRidge Apartments.
Pending the outcome, any potential capital improvements would be requested as part of
the 2019 budget process. Timber Ridge is projected to have net income of $179,130 in
2018, with a fund balance of $1.2 million.

2018 Off -Cycle Contributions
A. Vail Recreation District/ Eagle Vail Metro District
Attachment A
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Recreation District in coordination with the Eagle Vail Metro
District is requesting $4,000 to refurbish the Eagle Vail fields. The need for this funding is to ensure a
quality product for Town of Vail supported events that use the fields with most of these events receiving
Commission on Special Events (CSE) funding. Size and growth of tournaments has put heavy use on the
fields and has caused considerable stress on the turf. The funding will be used to aerate, top dress,
fertilize, and sod the fields.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends one time funding of $4,000 to refurbish the Eagle Vail fields. Staff also recommends
collaborating with the Vail Recreation District and the Eagle Vail Metro District to determine a permanent
funding mechanism to keep the fields at a quality level to meet the demands of VRD tournament event
needs.
B. Vail Valley Foundation- Vail Dance Festival
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vail Dance is requesting $5,800 for a mini podcast series forum filmed
in Vail called "Conversations with Dance". The funding would directly support festival forum costs
including host stipends, travel, and lodging along with marketing and rental fees of Manor Vail Lodge. The
total cost of the series is $5,800 with expected revenue from the forums of $1,200 from ticket sales. The
podcasts debuted during the 2017 festival and were a success with nearly 120,000 listens to date.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends funding $4,600 for the Vail Dance festival forum, "Conversation with Dance". The total
funding recommended is the total cost of the event ($5,800) less the expected revenue from ticket sales
($1,200). This event supports an enrichment activity for Vail visitors as well as speaking to a younger
generation and international audience through the internet.
C. Shipstead Entertainment- Vail Holidays TM ice skating festival
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Shipstead Entertainment is requesting $20,000 cash funding for Vail Holidays TM ice skating festival. The
funding will go towards adding additional activation around town with some paid and free activities
including two free shows; one at Solaris and one at the Arrabelle. The skate festival events will include
elite performers and coaches for shows and skating clinics. Shipstead Entertainment is also requesting in-
kind funding of two days at Dobson arena (Dec 15th and 16th) for a show and a two day clinic. Shipstead
Entertainment was unaware of Town of Vail funding until February 2018. For 2019 event funding, they will
go through the Commission on Special Events contribution process.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends a cash contribution of $20,000 for the Vail Holidays TM ice skating festival. This event
supports the joint goal of Town of Vail and Vail Resorts by providing robust off -mountain entertainment
opportunities during the low demand early winter season time period. Staff also recommends funding the
in-kind request for two days at Dobson with the appropriate approval and coordination with the Vail
Recreation District. Shipstead Entertainment will be responsible for hard costs for use of the Dobson
Arena such as set-up, tear -down, cleaning and utilities. The Commission on Special Events endorses this
event and has formally shown its support in a memo included with the attached application.

Organization fiscal year-end: : 2018-12-31
Are your books audited? : Yes
Type of Funding Requested : Cash Funding Only
Amount of Contribution Requested : $4,000
Why was this not part of the annual contribution request process for 2018 (Due June 30th)? :
This is a recent request from Eagle Vail, as their field gets heavily used by tournaments that the TOV
funds through CSE, due to the tournaments growth in size and the lack of fields in the Town Of Vail,
these tournament put considerable stress on the turf especially the Lacrosse Tournaments.
How will the contribution be used? : Up to a maximum of $4000wiII be used to refurbish the fields
post tournament use. The fields will be aerified, topdressed, fertilized and sodded in goal creases as
necessary. This will ensure a quality product that tournament directors expect year in and year out.
How does your request support item 1C of the Contribution Policy (See above) : Events have
become a vital part of enhancing Town of Vail's sales tax revenue. These events fill hotels,
restaurants and shops and help to make summer in the Town of Vail very vibrant. The Town does
not have the necessary infrastructure field wise to host these growing tournaments in their entirety,
and Eagle Vail is a viable and great option due to its location, lack of hotels , and very limited
shopping and dining options. Eagle Vail has been a great partner for years but will not be able to
July 3, 2018 - Page 126 of 185
sustain a quality filed product with out the support of the Town of Vail. Without support they will likely
shut down the fields to outside entities.

Organization Mission Statement : The Vail Dance Festival is a project of the Vail Valley
Foundation (VVF), a nonprofit organization committed to enhancing and sustaining the quality of life
in our rural, mountain resort community through arts, athletics, and education. Since 1981, we have
both hosted and inspired world-class events in our valley through the Vilar Performing Arts Center,
GoPro Mountain Games, and World Cup Ski Racing. But more importantly, VVF has interwoven
educational opportunities into every song, dance, race and run. For generations, VVF has connected
our valley to the world, and the world to our valley, most notably through the inventive golden thread
of the Vail Dance Festival.
Organization fiscal year-end: : 2018-05-31
Are your books audited? : Yes
Type of Funding Requested : Cash Funding Only
Amount of Contribution Requested : $5,800
Why was this not part of the annual contribution request process for 2018 (Due June 30th)? :
From July 28 to August 11, the Vail Dance Festival will celebrate its 30th year.
https://www. nyti mes.com/2018/02/02/arts/dance/vail-dance-fest-to-celebrate-its-30th-
anniversary.html. The festival has put innovative artists like Claudia Schreier and Lil Buck on the
map, while also providing important next steps for artists from across the spectrum of dance and
music. With nearly 23,000 attendees in 2017, the Festival has worked especially hard to provide a
platform for the creation of new works, the exploration of cross -genre collaborations, and to make
Vail the epicenter of the dance world. In an effort to reach a broader audience, bring a deeper
understanding of the creative process and influence Vail has had on 21st Century dance, VDF
piloted mini-podcasts, called Conversations on Dance, last year. Since 2017 festival, these episodes
recorded in Vail have racked up nearly 120,000 listens to date, allowing enthusiasts the chance to
enjoy the festival and its artists long after it had ended. Due to the surprise success of this initial
project, we decided in March to fully launch these Festival Forums as an auxillary component of the
July 3, 2018 - Page 131 of 185
Festival this summer, and we are requesting Town of Vail's mid-term support for this new expansion.
Understanding that we are requesting this funding outside the normal funding period we appreciate
your consideration for this funding request.
How will the contribution be used? : Online with exposure to an international audience, these
dialogues will focus on the legacy elements of the Vail Dance Festival as it celebrates three decades
in Vail, while also providing a space for choreographers and artists to explore their creative process,
debuts, collaboration, and relationships with and within the Festival. The incredible line-up is as
follows: • On Tuesday, July 31 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., the Forum dials into the "Collaborative Spirit in
Vail" with a conversation uniting choreographer Justin Peck and composer Caroline Shaw to explore
the possibilities of such collaboration, from the first moments of mutual inspiration to bringing the
premiere to the stage. • On Thursday, August 2 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., Francesca Hayward and
Marcelino Sambe, dancers with the Royal Ballet, answer the question, "What's Special About Vail?"
This conversation will dive into the unique allure and feeling of the Vail Dance Festival, what
separates it from other work outside the Royal Ballet, the intercompany and interdisciplinary
collaborative spirit present at Vail, and how this experience enriches their work back at home. • On
Friday, August 3 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., a panel of esteemed guests will celebrate the centennial of
Merce Cunningham, one of the greatest and most influential choreographers of the 20th century.
Dancers of his works from past and present along with relevant scholars will explore Cunningham's
work methods, his collaborations with artists like John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg, and his
broad influence in the avant-garde, in dance and beyond. • On Saturday, August 4 from 9:30 to
10:30 a.m. Roman Mejia will share about the pressures of being thrust into the spotlight so soon into
his career, how he prepares for these challenges, and how coming from a ballet family has prepared
him in his career. Roman Mejia is one of the newest members of the New York City Ballet, having
burst onto the scene at the Vail Dance Festival fresh out of the School of American Ballet. In just his
first year at the company, he's garnered critical acclaim for numerous solo roles, and is quickly
gathering momentum as a dancer to be seen. • On Sunday, August 5 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., the
director of Ballet Hispanico, Eduardo Vilaro, will join Claudia Schreir in conversation about the
choreographic process, building a positive relationship between choreographers and companies,
and how VDF nurtures these artistic offerings. • On Monday, August 6 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., Tiler
Peck will discuss what spurred her artistic choice and how her life's influences, from her time on
broadway, to her work with a wide range of choreographers, to her oft-noted exquisite sense of
musicality, come together to impact her first work as choreographer. This mid-year contribution
would directly support Festival Forum costs including hosts' stipends, travel, lodging, and stipend
along with marketing-related expenses and rental fees for Manor Lodge Vail. Hosts Rebecca King
Ferraro and Michael Sean Breeden bring a high-level of experience and expertise to both the
Festival and these in-depth, inspirational, and thought-provoking conversations. Rebecca King
Ferraro has worked with many of today's most sought-after choreographers including Justin Peck,
Alexei Ratmansky, Liam Scarlett, and Christopher Wheeldon. She has danced in the majority of
MCB's Balanchine repertoire, as well as classical full-length ballets and contemporary works. From
2010-2016, she served as a Company Representative on behalf of the dancers, a role similar to a
union representative. In 2010, she founded a dance blog, TendusUnderAPalmTree.com, which has
enabled her to reach out to dancers and audience members from around the globe. King is currently
a member of the guest faculty of The Dance Academy of Stuart in Stuart, FL. Ferraro is joined by co-
host Michael Sean Breeden, who joined Miami City Ballet as an apprentice in 2006 and was
promoted to the corps de ballet in 2008. Since joining the company, he has performed in the works
of George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Frederick Ashton, Antony Tudor, Twyla Tharp, Paul Taylor,
Alexei Ratmansky and Liam Scarlett. Mr. Breeden has joined Miami City Ballet on acclaimed tours to
New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Paris. Since January 2014, Michael has given interactive
pre-performance talks for the Miami City Ballet that broadens the audience's knowledge of the
ballets programmed and allows them to directly question the artists involved. Michael has also
danced for Boston Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Oregon Ballet Theatre and Suzanne Farrell Ballet.
Mr. Breeden most recently worked as Ballet Master for Troy Schumacher's, BalletCollective. The
Vail Dance Festival will utilize two forms of evaluation to measure the impact of the Festival Forums.
July 3, 2018 - Page 132 of 185
The first is traditional market research through a third party research company, Intercept Insight,
LLC. The goal is to better understand attendee details, intent to return, quantify recommendations,
evaluate event performance, estimate attendee spending habits, estimate revenue generation,
obtain demographical and geographical data, determine economic impact and related indicators.
This year we will also develop more summative impact evaluation through participatory evaluations
and key artist interviews, in order to strategically grow and strengthen our outreach and program
deliveries. This will include a Ripple Effect Mapping (REM) activity with community stakeholders,
VDF artists, and all participants. Over the last 30 years, dozens of dancers, choreographers, and
musicians have launched from the festival stage. This strategy will help us better understand the
effect of the VDF on our wider community as well as dancers, choreographers, musicians, and
students. We welcome participation in this activity from the Vail Town Council.
How does your request support item 1C of the Contribution Policy (See above) : The Town of
Vail intertwines within all the Festival Forums as the birth-place and vital center of our world-renown
festival; our 30th anniversary is shared with Vail. The interactive events will take place at Manor Vail
Lodge, and will be open to the public (https://vaildance.org/festival-forums/) thus embracing the
Town' goal to provide recreational, cultural and educational opportunities. Moreover, this special
component of VDF provides an innovative online connection with future visitors. Last year, 63
percent of our website visitors were new, including engagements from more than 10 countries. This
opportunity compliments our ongoing contribution to the Town of Vail's "future health": last year, our
in-person attendance was 22,768, a 40 percent increase since 2011. Independent surveys on
destination visitation last year revealed that 92% of attendees came to Vail specifically for the
festival.

In- Kind Request : Two days of building rental of Dobson Arena for a show and two day clinic (Dec.
15 & 16, 2018) that will incorporate not only the local skaters, but many front range skaters that will
want to be a part of this amazing festival.
Why was this not part of the annual contribution request process for 2018 (Due June 30th)? :
I was not aware of these opportunities until after my February 23rd meeting with Laura Waniuk. In
2011, 2012, and 2013 our shows were produced by another entertainment company, but directed by
my company, so we were not aware of this amazing town funding. We want this to be an annual
event for the visitors and residents of Vail. We will follow all application policies for 2019 funding as
requested by the town.
How will the contribution be used? : For Vail's Skating Festival we will be adding additional
activation around town with some paid and free activities for the guests and residents of Vail. US
Figure Skating museum pieces at the Vail Library and two free shows at Solaris and the Arabelle.
There will be fees associated with the Skating Camp/Clinic for all local, guest, and front range
skaters. The show at Dobson will have admission to help pay for the elite performers. Expenses for
all of these events will include housing for the star skaters, housing for the elite coaching staff from
Colorado Springs for the clinic at Dobson Arena, rehearsal time in Colorado Springs for the free
events, lighting for the free shows (2 spot lights), US Figure Skating Sanction, staff for spot lights,
rental fee for two outdoor rinks, trucking fee for lighting, skater fees, event insurance, pre-recorded
announcements, additional advertising, flyers for all major competitions in the Colorado area
(Broadmoor Open, Vail Invitational, Colorado Championships, Cup of Colorado, and Colorado
Springs Invitational).
July 3, 2018 - Page 140 of 185
How does your request support item 1C of the Contribution Policy (See above) : The events
brought to Vail by Shipstad Skating Instruction INC/Shipstad Entertainment incorporate activities for
all ages that the local and front range skating community, residents of Vail, and guests of Vail will
love to be a part of. Vail is known for being the best for not only the amazing mountain and town
experiences, but also the world level entertainment and activities. The ice show, skating clinic, free
shows, and memorabilia from US Figure Skating Headquarters continues Vail's tradition of bringing
the best to the residents and guests of Vail. I believe the events surrounding our festival go hand in
hand with the Vail's abundance of recreational, cultural, and educational experiences.

II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
In order to implement the regulations and to align the Vail Town Code with state and
federal requirements, the Town has requested the adoption of a new chapter within Title
12 of the Vail Town Code. The proposed request is to amend Title 12 of the Vail Town
Code by adding a new Chapter 27, Wireless Service Facilities. The proposed ordinance
is not a change in policy, but is required in order to ensure that the Town's regulations
are consistent with state and federal law, including the Telecommunications Act of
1996, the Spectrum Act, and House Bill 17-1193.
III. BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Wireless Service Facilities Ordinance is to align the Vail Town Code
with state and federal requirements. These regulations will continue to allow the location
of wireless service facilities in the Town while protecting the public health, safety, and
general welfare of the community. These regulations will also require the Town to
continue to act on applications for the location of wireless service facilities within a
reasonable time, will continue to encourage co -location of wireless service facilities, and
will continue to prevent unreasonable discrimination among providers of functionally
equivalent services.
The Town of Vail Community Development Department has continued to work with
Town Attorney and collaborated with industry partners to develop a comprehensive
ordinance in conjunction with the most recent state and federal regulations, which are
summarized below.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Federal)
In accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act"), local governments
are authorized to regulate the placement, construction and modification of personal
wireless service facilities, provided that any such regulation does not unreasonably
discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services, or prohibit, or have the
effect of prohibiting the provisions of personal wireless services.
The Spectrum Act (Federal)
Section 6409 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (commonly
referred to as the "Spectrum Act"), requires a local government to approve any eligible
request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not
"substantially change" the physical dimensions of such tower or base station. Section
6409 also imposes new rules on a local government's review of applications for the
modification of existing towers and base stations. Section 6409 does not apply to
applications for new towers or base stations, but rather, modifications of existing towers
and base stations.
Town of Vail Page 2
July 3, 2018 - Page 146 of 185
House Bill 17-1193 (State)
The Colorado General Assembly passed House Bill 17-1193, which also provides
certain mandatory procedural requirements and regulations for installation of small cell
facilities within public rights-of-way. HB 17-1193 provides that telecommunications
provider has the right to locate or collocate small cell facilities and small cell networks
on local government entity's light poles, traffic signals, or utility poles in rights-of-way
owned by local government, subject applicable law. HB 17-1193 clarifies that the
expedited permitting process established for broadband facilities applies to small cell
facilities and small cell networks.
IV. PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION ACTION
On March 26, 2018, the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) voted 7-0 to
recommend that the Vail Town Council approve Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2018. This
recommendation was based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V of the
March 26, 2018 memorandum to the PEC (Attachment C) and the evidence and
testimony presented. Please see the PEC minutes from March 26, 2018 (Attachment D)
for additional detail.
V. ACTION REQUESTED OF THE VAIL TOWN COUNCIL
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2018 upon
second reading, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council
passes the following motion:
"The Vail Town Council approves, on second reading, Ordinance No. 8,
Series of 2018, an ordinance for a Prescribed Regulation Amendment,
pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Title
12 of the Vail Town Code by the addition of a new Chapter 27 of Title 12,
concerning Wireless Service Facilities, and setting forth details in regard
thereto."
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 8, Series of 2018 on
second reading, the Planning and Environmental Commission recommends the Council
makes the following findings:
"Based upon the review of the criteria outlined in Section V of the Staff
memorandum to the Planning and Environmental Commission dated March 26,
2018 and the evidence and testimony presented, the Vail Town Council finds:
1. That the amendment is consistent with the applicable elements of the
adopted goals, objectives and policies outlined in the Vail
Comprehensive Plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the Town; and
Town of Vail Page 3
July 3, 2018 - Page 147 of 185
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the
Zoning Regulations outlined in Section 12-1-2, Purpose, Vail Town
Code; and
3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the Town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious
development of the Town in a manner that conserves and enhances its
natural environment and its established character as a resort and
residential community of the highest quality."

Memorandum
To: Planning and Environmental Commission
From: Community Development Department
Date: March 26, 2018
Subject: A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council for a prescribed
regulations amendment pursuant to Section 12-3-7 Amendment, Vail Town
Code, to amend Title 12 of the Vail Town Code to add a new Chapter 27,
Wireless Service Facilities, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (PEC18-
0010)
Applicant: Town of Vail
Planner: Justin Lightfield
I. SUMMARY
The applicant, the Town of Vail, requests the review of a prescribed regulations
amendment, pursuant to Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, to amend Title
12 of the Vail Town Code to add a new Chapter 27, Wireless Service Facilities, and
setting forth details in regard thereto.
The Planning and Environmental Commission's role in the review of the Code language
is to make a recommendation on the language that should be incorporated into the
Town Code to allow for an implementable Wireless Service Facilities section. The final
determination will be made by Town Council.
Based upon staff's review of the criteria outlined in Section V of this memorandum and
the evidence and testimony presented, the Community Development Department
recommends the Planning and Environmental Commission forward a recommendation
of approval to the Vail Town Council for the proposed prescribed regulations
amendment, subject to the findings noted in Section VI of this memorandum.
II. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST
In order to implement the regulations and to align the Vail Town Code with state and
federal requirements, the Town Council has requested the adoption of a new chapter
within Title 12 of the Vail Town Code. The proposed request is to amend Title 12 of the
Vail Town Code by adding a new Chapter 27, Wireless Service Facilities. The proposed
ordinance is not a change in policy, but is required in order to ensure that the Town's
July 3, 2018 - Page 171 of 185
regulations are consistent with state and federal law, including the Telecommunications
Act of 1996, the Spectrum Act, and House Bill 17-1193.
III. BACKGROUND
The purpose of the Wireless Service Facilities Ordinance is to align the Vail Town Code
with state and federal requirements. These regulations will continue to allow the location
of wireless service facilities in the Town while protecting the public health, safety, and
general welfare of the community. These regulations will also require the Town to
continue to act on applications for the location of wireless service facilities within a
reasonable time, will continue to encourage co -location of wireless service facilities, and
will continue to prevent unreasonable discrimination among providers of functionally
equivalent services.
The Town of Vail Community Development Department worked with Town Attorney to
develop a comprehensive ordinance in conjunction with the most recent state and
federal regulations, which are summarized below.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 (Federal)
In accordance with the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "Act"), local governments
are authorized to regulate the placement, construction and modification of personal
wireless service facilities, provided that any such regulation does not unreasonably
discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent services, or prohibit, or have the
effect of prohibiting the provisions of personal wireless services.
The Spectrum Act (Federal)
Section 6409 of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 (commonly
referred to as the "Spectrum Act"), requires a local government to approve any eligible
request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not
"substantially change" the physical dimensions of such tower or base station. Section
6409 also imposes new rules on a local government's review of applications for the
modification of existing towers and base stations. Section 6409 does not apply to
applications for new towers or base stations, but rather, modifications of existing towers
and base stations.
House Bill 17-1193 (State)
The Colorado General Assembly passed House Bill 17-1193, which also provides
certain mandatory procedural requirements and regulations for installation of small cell
facilities within public rights-of-way. HB 17-1193 provides that telecommunications
provider has the right to locate or collocate small cell facilities and small cell networks
on local government entity's light poles, traffic signals, or utility poles in rights-of-way
owned by local government, subject applicable law. HB 17-1193 clarifies that the
expedited permitting process established for broadband facilities applies to small cell
facilities and small cell networks.

5. Presentations / Discussion
5.1. Ford Park 2018 Summer Ford Park Parking Calendar
Presenter(s): Greg Hall, director of Public Works and Transportation
Action Requested of Council: Request input and approval on the 2018 Ford Park Summer
Parking Calendar as prepared by staff and the Ford Park Users Group.
Background: Each Spring the summer activities and events calendar is reviewed b the Ford
Park User Groups, including representatives from Town of Vail. Vail Recreation District, Vail
Valley Foundation,(Gerald R Ford Amphitheater), Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, Bravo! Vail and
Walking Mountains Science Center (as operators of Vail Nature Center). The group's proposed
2018 managed and paid parking program is attached. Similar transit service will be provided.
New this year will be the ability to provide parking vouchers for users of facilities not associated
with the special event on a space available basis for a period of 2 hours. This will require those
users to obtain validation from the appropriate venue (such as tennis center, BFAG education
center classes, etc.)
Greg Hall presented the topic with some highlights as follows:
• TOV will offer a voucher program to those users in the park who visit VRD and BFAG.
• TOV will offer 2 free days of parking with the lacrosse tournament because those days do
not have evening functions
• The AEG concert series, if booked, would likely convert to paid or managed parking
• TOV would keep the entry fee at $10for events
• TOV would continue to run free bus service frequently to Ford Park
Foley moved to approve the Ford Park 2018 summer calendar; Moffet seconded the motion and
it passed (7-0).
