Eagle River Youth Coalition
Town of Vail Council Update
August 7, 2018
Review of 2018 Collaborative Efforts
We would like to thank the Town of Vail for partnering with the Eagle River Youth Coalition (ERYC) for the following
efforts:
• Burton Youth Safe Zone: Vail Police Department and ERYC work with the parking structure and the Burton Open
event coordinators to create a youth safe zone for youth to get out of the cold, have a safe place to be dropped
off and picked up, and have a safe place to go to if they want to get away from the crowds or behaviors that
they don't want to be near. This was the first offering of its kind and while it was not utilized by many youth, it
was a great start to looking examining youth safe spaces during times when crowd behavior may not promote
positive youth behavior.
• Vail Teen Marketing Focus Group: Vail Marketing Department and Kristin Yantis coordinated with ERYC an
opportunity to bring local youth together to provide feedback and input regarding youth activities and
opportunities within the Town of Vail. Follow-up process is occurring with focus group attendees. We thank the
Town for wanting to hear from the youth community and including their voice in planning efforts.
• Valley -wide youth recreation committee/council: ERYC lead an initial meeting with Vail Recreation District,
Avon Department of Recreation, and WECMRD to discuss the formation of a youth recreation committee that
would serve all recreation providers in the community and inform youth offerings valley -wide. The impetus of
this meeting came out of the Youth Leaders Council meeting with a goal of creating more youth -led and
coordinated enrichment and recreation activities for youth and connecting them with those opportunities. Next
stages in the process will be to identify a group of youth interested in forming this committee, doing an
assessment of current youth opportunities and awareness of these opportunities, and identifying initial projects
to focus on.
• Youth Master Plan participation: We would like to thank Craig Westering and Cricket Pylman for their
involvement in the youth master plan process (outlined below) and representing the interests of Town of Vail in
this process. We would also like to thank Greg Clifton for his time in reviewing the Town's strategic plan and
reviewing opportunities to incorporate more language related to supporting local youth.
Eagle River Valley Youth Master Plan
In January 2018, the Eagle River Youth Coalition initiated a process to create a community -wide youth master plan that
supports the community in identifying a shared vision and goals, aligning existing and overlapping goals and outcomes,
sharing resources to strengthen existing efforts, and examining gaps in services and how to overcome them. A part of
the process is to ensure that all youth in the Eagle River Valley are afforded the same opportunities and supports and
that all local entities share in this goal.
The intent is that all current efforts and plans related to youth roll up into one master plan so that entities are aware of
different goals and strategies and can better work together to reach the broad needs of youth and families in the
community. Through this process, gaps in services and supports will also be identified in order to locate or leverage
resources to address. A goal of the process is that community members will look to the plan first to see what efforts are
occurring before determining if they can join current efforts or pursue new efforts.

• Youth are competent in skills needed to be successful in school and life and confident to apply those skills
• Promote and instill positive health behaviors, approaches and outcomes in youth and families
• Increase opportunities for prosocial involvement across families, schools and community
• Educators' and professionals' quality, support and training
• Youth -centered, high -performing systems designed to deliver excellence for all
• Sense of place and connection with community, nature, and meaningful opportunities
• Increase opportunities for youth leadership and recognizing and rewarding their involvement
Opportunities to support substance use reduction efforts:
Eagle County Public Health and Youth Leaders from the Eagle River Youth Coalition are working to educate Town
Councils and community members about a policy to reduce youth access to tobacco products. Eagle County youth have
reported an increase in tobacco product use on the 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey and report great ease of access
in being able to purchase these products themselves. Therefore, we would like to educate the Vail Town Council on
policy other communities have adopted related to changing the age of point of sale to 21 years old for tobacco products.
Provided below is a quick overview of why this policy is important, we would be happy to schedule another time to
provide a full presentation regarding this policy.
T21 Starts With TRL
Tobacco is still the leading cause of preventable death in Colorado and the US.
• 95% of current smokers started before they were 21 (90% before 18).
■ Having the first cigarette by age 18 makes it twice as likely to become a lifelong smoker
■ Cigarette smoking is on the rise among high school students in our valley
■ 39% of high school students in our valley used a vape product in the past month
■ 23% of middle school students in our valley have tried a vape product
Colorado teen vaping is twice the national average according to survey results from 37 states.
Colorado communities with local licensing policies have successfully reduced illegal sales to minors by 76%.
T21: tobacco 21, or raising the minimum sales age for tobacco products to 21
Works to reduce youth initiation because social access is impacted. 15-17 year olds are highest impact group, because
they socialize with 18-19 year olds, much less likely to socialize with 21-22 year olds.
Institute of Medicine report (2015), sale age increase to 21 could reduce initiation among 15-17 year olds by 25%.
Massachusetts just became the sixth state to pass T21; over 330 municipalities and counties across the US have done so.
Tobacco control leader at the local public health department is poised to assist with further education and resources
in this process.

BACKGROUND: Following two years of low snow starts to the winter ski season in Vail, Highline,

TOWN OF VAIL'
Memorandum
To: Town Council
From: Mia Vlaar, Economic Development Director
Date: August 1, 2018
Subject: 2018 Snow Days Request for Additional Funding
Summary
Following two years of low snow starts to the winter ski season in Vail, Highline, Vail
Resorts, community partners, and town staff have come together to propose a large
scale community wide event — a reconcepted Snow Days, to stimulate demand and
drive visitation in Vail from December 13 — 17, 2018.
The four day event would feature live music, concerts, lodging deals, merchant and
restaurant activation in town, and music, specials, and additional activation on
mountain.
The concerts would be held at Ford Park parking lot and draw visitors from Colorado
and beyond, in addition, the activation in Vail would ensure visitors and the community
would celebrate winter regardless of snow conditions on the mountain.
Lodging packages would be built to provide substantially lower nightly rates than are
normally offered during early December, rewarding guests for longer stays. In addition,
the merchant and restaurant communities would come together to support Snow Days
with activation on premises and special offers to enhance the overall value proposition.
The event would be combined with elements of Vail Holidays events, including tree
lighting, Kris Kringle market and skating shows at Dobson Ice Arena, expanding the
target audience well beyond the younger concert goers to dynamic families in the front
range of Colorado and beyond.
Background
Highline, Vail Resorts, and the lodging and merchant communities believe that by
working together to create a robust, community wide event with two nights of major free
concerts in Ford Park plus activation throughout the villages, guests will commit to
coming to Vail December 13 -18 — even if snow conditions are less than expected.
August 7, 2018 - Page 37 of 17�
Economic Considerations
December occupancy has decreased from 58% in 2011 to 49% in 2017; while a number
of factors contributed to this decline, low snowfall is a major factor, and current
reservations on the books seem to be reflecting a 'snow hangover' — guests are
reluctant to commit to an early season visit without confidence in good snow
accumulation. In fact, current occupancy reports, while on a much smaller base, show
decreases from last year for most of the month of December, including the early
holidays.
Snow Days funding from Town Council via the Commission on Special Events has
averaged $44,167 annually for the past 7 years.
2018 funding approved by the Commission on Special Events is $30,000.
As funding has decreased, so has attendance at the events.
Competition has increased as resorts work to attract guests during the early December
period, offering visitors more options on where to travel.
Highline, as event producer, is requesting additional funding to create a bigger event
with better talent, bringing more visitors to Vail over a four day period during a low
demand time frame.
Action Requested
Highline requests $270,000 ($30,000 has been already been allocated by the
Commission on Special Events for 2018 Snow Days) from the Town Council, in addition
to the funding committed by Vail Resorts ($200,000) and additional sponsors, for a four
day event budget totaling $544,300.

Eagle County's Labor Force: Conditions Continue to Improve
After relatively high unemployment rates in 2009-2012, unemployment saw a solid decline in
2013 and that has continued through the current year. In 2017, the Eagle County
unemployment rate was 2.3%, which is below the state rate of 2.8%. The current local
unemployment rate is lower than the previous low point in 2007, which was at 2.8%. At the
same time, the size of the labor force continues to grow. After a relatively flat period between
2010 and 2014, the number in the labor force increased 8.3% between 2014 and 2017 to
35,052.
The county's population continues to grow at a slow and steady pace. The State Demographer
estimates that the population grew by 3.6% between 2010 and 2016. The population is
currently estimated at 53,320, which represents a 1.1% increase over the previous year. School
enrollment has seen growth of 6.3% in the past five years in grades Pre K — 12, which was
6,931 in fall of 2017.

Unemployment Rate
Eagle County Labor Force EON Eagle County Unemployment Colorado Unemployment
As a rural resort county, employment is disproportionally comprised of the accommodation and
food services; retail trade; arts, entertainment and recreation; and construction. Almost a
quarter (24%) of the County's employees work in accommodations and food services, another
11% in retail trade and 12% in arts, entertainment and recreation. Construction employs about
10% of the workforce. Additionally, many residents are challenged to find suitable employment
to carve out a sustainable living in the county since the average wage is lower than in Denver,
yet the cost -of -of living is high. The cost for housing is especially high, ranging from about two

times the national average in the Gypsum and Eagle area and increasing dramatically as one
gets closer to the prestigious ski areas of Vail and Beaver Creek.
Eagle County has 32,043 housing units and 19,853 households. Almost 2 in 5 homes (38%) in
the county are classified as "vacant," primarily second homes. While median household income
in the county is higher than the statewide average ($78,763 compared to $62,520), weekly
wages are low: $866 a week in Eagle County compared to $1,095 per week average statewide.
It's against this backdrop of an economy continuing to gain strength that we take a look at what
employers in Eagle County are saying about business and workforce.
12th Annual Workforce Survey
Vail Valley Economic Development (formerly The Economic Council of Eagle County) has been
conducting a workforce survey in Eagle County since 2006-07. Although there has been some
variation in items and response choices across administration years, core items on the current
version of the survey have been collected since 2007-08 and ask employers about their
business outlook, their employees, and their forecasts for the future. Additional items this year
ask about business retention and expansion. Prior survey results can be found at
www.vailvalleymeansbusiness.com. In 2017-18, 88 businesses responded to the Workforce
Survey, which is somewhat lower than the previous year. This summary report compares those
responses with data from prior surveys.
Hiring New Employees and Workforce Conditions
The chart on the next page shows that the experience with finding new employees has recently
gotten worse in the County. In 2008-09, 52% percent indicated that finding new employees was
"Good" or "Excellent. " While this percentage has trended up and down over the past 10 years,
reaching a high point in 2009-10, it has come down dramatically over the past year from 53% in
2016-17 to 38% in 2017-18. At the same time, those that indicate it was "Terrible" or "Poor" has
remained relatively stable since 2014-15, however, the use of the "Fair" category has come up
substantially after seeing a decline between 2014-15 and 2016-17.

As seen in the chart below, in 2017-18 43% of businesses report that they can fill positions
within 4 weeks, a 15% decrease over the previous year and a 28% decrease from 2015-16.
Those that indicated it took more than a month increased to 58%. The overall hiring results
show that the days of easy hiring peaked in 2010-11, but are currently facing challenges.

The charts on the next two pages show the results of questions that were added to the current
version of the survey and historical benchmarks are not available for these items. Overall,
employers indicate that unfilled positions are largely stable, although about one out of three
respondents say it is increasing. While about half of employers are not anticipating significant
changes in their workforce, 25% indicate they are replacing employees and another 25% say
they are hiring new employees.

More than two out of three businesses surveyed (68%) indicate that they are experiencing
recruitment problems with specific employee positions or skills. The specific problems that
employers described are shown below.
Bilingual and post certified Police Officers, more bilingual administrative staff would be
wonderful.
Sales.
- Seasonal was harder to fill than normal but by increasing the wage we have a great
workforce for this summer.
- Fleet Maintenance / Auto Body positions are always hard to fill.
Qualified Tile Installers
Engineering, culinary
We have found interim solutions to these challenges - however, recruiting qualified seasonal
housekeeping, maintenance and culinary staff is very difficult
Attention to detail
Leadership, customer service, laborer
Spending a lot of time and dollars on ads, career fairs and such. Responses are few. Need
experienced electricians.
Not us, but many other companies we work with have sub -par bookkeepers internally and
cannot accurately track what they need to track (if they wanted to track it)
Sales, management, customer service
Project Managers
Superintendents
Preconstruction Managers
Trade positions (HVAC and electric) and finance roles have currently been difficult to find
quality applicants.
We are often looking for motivated and positive skilled labor and have a hard time finding
operators that have a good attitude and requisite skills. Oftentimes, we end up hiring for
attitude and teaching the skills. As our more tenured operators continue to retire and we have
less experienced operators on staff, we will likely have to hire at a higher level of skill and
won't have this option to start from scratch with a willing new operator.
Part time, on-call customer service positions with clean background.
Skilled and non -skilled position in Food & Beverage, intermediate positions in Maintenance
and Lodging
It takes time to find the proper person
Being on time and leaving early - no sense of business, communication skills, basic embrace
where you work skills i.e., take out the trash, clean your desk etc.... If you don't ask they don't
do.
Finding skilled employees in Eagle County continues to be an issue.
Nurses, OR Techs
Our talent base for trades is shrinking and aging resulting with hiring young people and
training them
Vail Valley Economic Development - Workforce Report 2018

August 7, 2018 - Page 49 of 17:
Lifeguards, Gymnastics
Housing!
For manager positions...thankfully our team is set for next year with past employees but when
we need to look elsewhere for managers people who are hustlers, move quickly, and are
detailed / task oriented can be a tough find.
Difficult to find quality employees with great customer service skill set.
Over Qualified applicants for entry positions.
Language and driver's license issues.
Fire, sprinkler certs
We were experiencing trouble recruiting for 4 year college degrees for Interior Designers.
Cad operators
We are experiencing recruitment issues for all positions.
Guest Service skills. Many local, native, ski bum, hippie types that hate tourists.
Maintenance, trades, guest service
Finding the right person for a management level position in either our kitchens or our dining
rooms has been challenging.
Bilingual skills
Front line more entry level positions
Word of mouth seems to be the best way to get a position filled
Yes, the outgoing and customer service orientated position is the hardest to fill as well as the
bi-lingual supervisor position
Development
new applicants who don't have housing or transportation
Admin
Optician - certifications, experience in the optical field.
Hospitality professionals
RNs, Certified Medical Assistants
Sometimes- applicants can be over or under qualified and always want to be paid at much
higher levels when coming from out of state
Maintenance is a tough position to fill unless we're paying an exorbitant amount of money.
Gymnastics Coaches and Lifeguards are tough to find as well. It is a very focused position.
Front desk
IT skills, fundraising skills
Facilities maintenance and culinary are the most challenging
Professionalism, Dress Code, entitlement and lack of proper communication skills, following
procedures and guidelines
Hard to find employees willing to do labor jobs
Usable past experience; IE have worked in hotels before
We have difficulty in recruiting highly technical faculty positions in fields such an emergency
medicine, nursing, automotive, etc., etc.

Employee Experiences and Key Issues for Employers
Perception of employees' experiences in finding reliable transportation and housing continue to
change. Transportation saw a sizable decline over the previous year, with 46% of employers
saying their employees' experience finding reliable transportation to and from work is "excellent"
or "pretty good" and 34% giving a negative rating. Frustration with housing continues to grow,
with nearly two-thirds of employers indicating "major frustration" and another 28% saying "it
could be better." Only 5% don't feel that housing is much of an issue. The 2017-18 results
regarding housing are the most negative they have been in the history of collecting this
information.

• Negatively
Neutral • Positively
As seen in the chart above, the effect of housing on the ability of businesses to attract, hire and
retain employees declined substantially from the previous year and is also at an all-time low.
Specific comments made in this area include:
This is a problem for new employees. Many times we are able to retain them when they are in our
employee housing but then we lose them if they need to move out. It is a desire of many employees
to live closer to where they work and to live in the community they work.
For those who have lived here long enough to have stable housing, it is not an easy. For those who
have recently moved here, rent, or have changes in housing circumstances, housing is a major source
of frustration that ultimately forces employees to ask if they really belong here and want to belong
here. We are losing one person that experienced housing frustrations and may be losing a second
because the options aren't great and what people are asking for rentals is ridiculous.
Current housing prices are difficult for young associates to purchase. Rentals were difficult for
associates to find in the middle of peak season.
The short answer is no, they can't. Most can usually find it (often couch surfing or room sharing), but
it diminishes their quality of life because of the cost and environment. We do lose some employees
due to lack of decent available housing.
Moving way out side of work areas to find affordable. Or living with multiple people to survive. The
conditions that some people are renting out are hidden and inexcusable.
Causes other major costs with vehicle expenses.
We offer a very progressive and comprehensive housing program to help employees find long term
solutions for housing. That being said, it is still very difficult for employees to find affordable housing
on the free market if they are looking to own.

We have a very young workforce that are primarily renters. They need to find multiple roommates
that they potentially have never met just to stay in this area.
Incredibly difficult to find affordable housing that meets our employee's needs.
availability and affordability
Last year we turned our rental townhome into employee housing. We are currently using 2 of the 4
bedrooms for employee housing at a discounted rate in order to retain employees.
Many of us are home owners. Mostly down valley.
Our employees are in long term, stable housing situations generally.
Like I mentioned above, our valley is greatly lacking in affordable housing options for our workers.
We offer a lot of housing for seasonal employees, so that helps.
I had two of our best employees quit and move out of state because of the price of owning a home.
It is not a problem with our current employees but has been in the past
Current employees are all fine with housing.
Items parallel to the transportation and housing issues were added to the survey the past two
years. In 2016-17, items were added regarding availability of affordable child care and in
2017-18 items were added regarding affordable health care. As seen in the chart below, 56%
of employers felt that health care is a problematic issue for their employees and 54% felt that
child care is a problematic issue. However, the percentage of employers using the "Major
Frustration" category was higher for health care than for child care. At the same time, 32% of
employers used the positive end of the scale to describe the health care of experience for
their employees, reflecting the fact that a number of businesses provide comprehensive
coverage. This was not seen for child care, with only 12% of employers using the positive end
of the scale.

The two charts below present the overall mean ratings on the four key issues presented to
employers: reliable transportation, affordable child care, affordable health care, and affordable
housing. These charts show that employee experiences are rated as lowest for housing,
followed by child care, then health care, and transportation is rated as highest. All issues
moved in a negative direction from 2016-17 and 2017-18 (note that the health care items were
new to the 2017-18 version of the survey). In terms of the impact of these issues on the ability
to attract, hire and retain employees, housing was rated as significantly more problematic than
child care or health care (the impact of transportation on hiring and retaining employees was
not included on the survey).

Businesses were asked to allocate $100 across 11 key issues in Eagle County. Not
surprising and as shown in the chart below, housing received the highest mean dollar
allocation at over double the amount of the next highest item. Health care, talent attraction,
and talent retention also received relatively high mean allocations.

Pay, Training and Benefits
The survey asked employers about their pay scale, job training and professional development,
and about benefits they provide. The cart below shows that 99% of employers provide job
training and professional development to new employees as well as those who have been there
more than 6 months. Not surprising, new employees get more training than those that have
been there more than 6 months. Additionally, nearly two out of three employers indicated that
investment in employee training is increasing at their company any only about 1% say is it
decreasing.

The Economy
As shown in the two charts on the next page, business owners and managers continue to feel
pretty good about the Eagle County Economy in general as well as their own business health.
However, perception of the Eagle County economy in general has been moving in a negative
direction since 2013-14. Perception of one's own business health declined from the previous
year, but is about the same as it was in 2015-16. Longer-term trends on perception of one's
own business health shows 2013-14 to be the most positive year, with a decline in most years
thereafter.

Comments from survey respondents regarding their own business health are as follows:
We have been able to grow tremendously in the past year due to additional funds from foundations
and state government grants. This growth however, may not be sustainable after a few years when
grant cycles end.
As a private lodging club that has long tenured team and strong real estate market position, we are
somewhat removed from the significant challenges Lodging, Dining and Retail businesses are
experiencing. We anticipate lower visitation numbers from our homeowners - that does not affect the
financial health of this association, though. Long-term it is important keep our valley attractive to and
desirable for our homeowners. This is where strategic economic growth throughout the valley comes
in.
The low snowfall did have a negative effect on sales.
I credit some of that to joining VVP and improving my marketing strategy, and some of that to
employers who have healthy budgets for training and consulting.
We had a downturn from last year to this year, but we are making changes and adapting and plans to
grow this year
As a government entity, we are very stable even with a low snow pack year.
Revenues are down slightly
Due to snow conditions last winter we had a worse year as a business.
With new leadership and direction, we are much better than last year.
The situation will become worse if the Gallagher amendment forces another loss of funds.

Predicting the Future
After several years of decline, the outlook for finding and retaining employees is held relatively
stable over the last two survey cycles. About 24% of respondents say finding and keeping
employees will be worse next year, a 5% decrease from the prior year. About 11% predict it will
improve, which is a 2% decline from the prior year.

general, the percent indicating "worse" increased from 7% to 14% and those that say "better"

health, that that indicated worse increased from 2% to 3%. More importantly, those that

Current Business Growth and Expansion
Almost two out of three businesses surveyed indicate that they expect to expand in the next
three years. About 24% of businesses say they are considering expanding or diversifying into a
different service sector, a 1% increase from the previous year and a 5% increase over 2015-16.
At the same time, 86% of businesses say there are barriers to growth in this community and
38% say that they the anticipate federal state, or local legislation changes that will adversely
affect their business in the next five years. The anticipated changes in legislation are shown in
the table below, while comments regarding barriers to growth are shown in the table starting on
page 22. Additional resources that would be beneficial to the businesses surveyed are listed in
the table starting on page 25.
Adverse Legislation Anticipated in the Next 5 Years:
Changes in ACA or other legislation may impact health care as an industry. Outcomes
unknown currently.
Changes to FLSA could have significant budget impacts.
Continued favoritism for online retailers who avoid collecting and paying sales tax, rising
minimum wage, rising health care costs
Current administration's standpoint on immigration and non-immigrant visas is already having
a damaging effect on our ability to attract talent.
Every time the state legislature is in session we fear they will mess up school funding and
damage our ability to serve students.
FCC is in the process of changing ownership rules that could make the radio landscape quite
different from today.
Federal changes to Medicaid and Medicare appear likely.
Federal government/incompetent president
From a recruiting & employee retention standpoint; 1) Drug Testing 2) Hiring Applicants
Legally Authorized to work in the United States 3) Affordable Housing 4) Affordable Medical,
Work Comp insurance for small local businesses
Health insurance legislation
I hope that something is done to control health care, child care and housing
Impacts of Gallagher Amendment increasing commercial property taxes
Loss of Federal tax credit for solar
Not 100%
Wish THC testing was in-place prior to legalizing.
Hopefully more tax dollars going to teacher's wages.
Our organization is subject to changing state and federal regulations from the EPA, CDPHE
and other regulatory agencies.
Political climate surrounding Mexico, immigration, possible wall could definitely negatively
affect our business both on the employee side as well as potential fallout from some of our
Mexican and South American clientele, depending on how all of this gets resolved.

Possible the ACA, items are pending
Potential immigration law changes affecting the status of work visa programs, including J1's &
H2B's, continue to be an area we are keeping a close eye on
Presidential elections and a change in party/delegation typically will impact our organization.
This is due to the economic stability around this time as well as changes in federal and state
laws as a result of the election.
REGULATIONS ON LENDING. INCREASED INTEREST RATES. RESTRICTIONS ON
RENTALS.
State legislation continues to change. Some positive and some negative. Mostly concerned
about continued competition from grocery and convenience stores.
TABOR/Gallagher since we are partially funded via property taxes and are a special district
Tariffs have had and may continue to add cost to our projects which may impact the
affordable and in some cases tank projects due to excessive cost.
Tariffs on cost of construction is driving prices higher
Tariffs on newsprint, legal advertising not required in local paper of record
Tax reform will have an impact on our smaller donors forcing us to depend more on larger
donors and reworking our approach to attracting smaller donors.
TBD: Keeping an eye on CAM censure, Transportation, tax laws, health insurance, second
homeowner voting rights,
The banking industry is highly regulated, very dependent on who is elected
The retail liquor laws pertaining to grocery stores/box stores offering beer/wine will have some
effects on our business.
There may be some changes to the States Early College High School program which may
impact how students move from high school to CMC. There is also the Gallagher act that may
substantially impact the funding the College receives to service a growing population.
Trump Administrations anti-government, lack of commitment to public services, lack of funding
of infrastructure, lack of commitment to the environment, the new tax law each have
significant negative consequences
Who knows in this crazy political environment...tariffs could affect things significantly
Barriers to Growth in the Community:
- The housing crisis in this valley is a HUGE challenge. Lack of affordable housing (rentals
and to buy) makes growth difficult because we can't keep good people long enough.
- There is a lot of competition just within our small valley of other pet supply stores, not to
mention the big box stores (Wal-Mart, Costco, and the Petcos in Silverthorne & Glenwood)
1. Qualified Labor 2. People wanting to be trained in a trade 3. Affordable Housing 4. Local/
between town valley public transit that times work for construction trades people 5. People
looking for the deal not necessarily doing what is legal or honest. 6. legalized marijuana
without testing methods for employers.
Affordability to stay and live. There is a split between, workers, owners vs lodging vs AR& B
VROB, health insurance cost, parking and of course the ever rising cost of the epic pass and
much more. There needs to be a solution to keep this community together for the long term.

but for many professionals looking to relocate to the area, the affordable housing options do

Clients do not have large enough budgets to allow us to garner true Brand Marketing results.

Workforce
Additional resources that would be beneficial:
A lower cost of living, or at least more options, with regard to housing, transit and health care
Advocating for health care and employee housing.
Affordable and desirable housing (not everyone wants to live in a condo) more housing
developments like the miller ranch area.
A strong and affordable health insurance offering in eagle county
Affordable housing for employees. The ability to own in Eagle county for first time home
buyers and single income
Affordable housing, affordable and available daycare, more pet friendly housing, free
overnight town parking (the overnight charge is making it really tough for our night staff to park
in town without getting charged)
Affordable housing, DACA resolution, work permits for temporary workers
Ban all short term rentals. This affects the work force, community, business community i.e.
lodging and full time residents and true 2nd homeowners. It's just a snowball effect
Better employee recruitment
Better regulatory enforcement of safety and quality work practices. Either parking or
transportation. More thought to the VO Tech class offerings in schools.
Businesses need to work together to attract talent to our valley. The hospitality industry in
general could do a better job at sharing best practices, collaborative recruiting efforts,

Emphasis on shopping locally and supporting each other.
Employee housing that is available and affordable.
Employee Retention, new ideas and creative solutions for keeping young professionals in the
area.
Endorsements of my business and services by my clients, and introductions to prospective
clients.
health care for employees
Housing assistance for employees relocating to the Vail Valley with hopes of starting a career
and life here.
Housing at a reasonable price, after school programs
I really like the forums you offer. Generally they attract high level management. It would be
great to explain the same topics to mid-level staff. So they understand we are all working
together on solutions.
Investment funding and portfolio management for nonprofit entities.
Job boards or other tools, Seems like it's the Vail Daily classified or nothing
More affordable health and housing
Dual language learning possibilities
More data on local economic trends
more detailed information on market makeup, especially visitors
More employer partnership with Colorado Mountain College particularly for trades. More
housing options that are not just solely employer driven. More opportunities and forums for
employers to collaborate to solve workforce challenges- the more we collaborate rather than
compete, the better we are as a community.
More options for employees parking and more options for public transportation.
More Skilled Tradesmen / labor pool
n/a
Networking
One valley wide salary survey, not just including ranges but actual wages paid.
Open communication from the partnership on how the Gallagher amendment will affect all
services provided to businesses that are critical to both their own business operations, and
their ability to attract employees.
Options for smaller businesses to participate in employee housing programs. Ability to learn
more about heath care options such as self-funded vs. traditional. Access to employee
assistance programs that do not cost an arm and a leg (we are too large for small group and
not large enough for large group to be financially sustainable.)
Regional Housing Network / Authority
Sales and customer service training.
Small business financing and managerial talent
That Vail, Eagle County and Vail Resorts market to the correct demographic
Valley -wide economic growth think tank or council that can develop a strategic, wide -reaching
economic and infrastructure plan that the government resources and business resources will
collaborate on implementing.
A comprehensive and targeted public relations resource/plan for the whole valley to
specifically address the destination's stigma of a bad snow year - think visitors, second

homeowners, seasonal/migrant staff....
Valley wide recruiting efforts...Midwest, Puerto Rico. Valley wide rent stabilization....
Housing rates are increasing far greater than the wages.
VVP Sponsored health plans
We need multiemployer pooling for health insurance. Another hospital in the Valley would
create competition which would lower health care rates.
Survey Methodology
Vail Valley Economic Development invited employers to participate in this research by sending
them an email link to an online survey. Staff then placed follow-up "invitation to participate
calls" to those companies and other entities that had not yet completed the survey, but were
considered highly representative of the local business climate. The Vail Valley Partnership and
its member associations included information and the survey link in their online newsletters, and
area non-profit organizations were invited to weigh in.
The survey was designed and tested by research staff, and distributed through Survey Monkey,
an internet-based survey tool. Data was tabulated and analyzed using SPSS, the Statistical
Package for Social Sciences.
This was an opt -in rather than a random sample or census survey, so a margin of error cannot
be calculated. However, survey respondents represented small and large businesses of
different types employing a large number of workers throughout the valley, and results can be
used to assess trends in the Eagle County workforce.

Conclusions
Some conclusions from the 2017-18 Workforce Survey:
✓ Business owners and managers as a whole predict a negative change in the economy in
general for the upcoming year. This was also true for the vitality of one's own business,
but the magnitude of the negative trend was smaller. Similarly, a modest decline was
seen among respondents in terms of opinions regarding current economic conditions in
the County in general and current views on the health of their own business also moved
in a negative direction.
✓ After 5 years of declines, predictions about the ability to hire and retain employees in the
upcoming year held relatively steady in the current survey year.
✓ Frustration with housing continues to grow and moved in a negative direction from 2017-
18. Negative opinions about housing are higher than ever found in the history of
conducting the survey. More than 3 out 4 businesses feel that the housing situation
negatively impacts their ability to hire and retain employees and this issue was
mentioned frequently when asked about barriers to growing their business in the
community.
✓ Over half of the businesses feel that their employees have a negative opinion of the
availability of affordable child care, an issue that was introduced to the survey for the first
time in 2016-17. About 1 out of 4 businesses feel that lack of child care negatively
impacts their ability to hire and retain employees.
✓ Over half of the businesses feel that their employees have a negative opinion of the
availability of affordable health care, an issue that was introduced to the survey for the
first time this year. Over 1 out of 3 businesses feel that lack of affordable health care
negatively impacts their ability to hire and retain employees. However, a number of the
businesses provide comprehensive coverage and 31 % of respondents say their
employees have a positive experience on this issue.
✓ Almost 2 out of 3 businesses surveyed indicate that they expect to expand in the next
three years and about 1 out of 4 say they are considering expanding or diversifying into
a different service sector. Businesses that report plans to expand or diversify into a
different service industry remains at a 5 -year high point.

PRESENTER(S): Kathleen Halloran, Finance Director and Johannah Richards, Sales Tax and

August 7, 2018 - Page 105 of 17
TOWN OF VAIL'
Memorandum
TO: Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: July 17, 2018
SUBJECT: Update on Short Term Rentals
I. SUMMARY
In December 2017 Town Council approved Ordinance No. 15, Series 2017 which established
regulations surrounding short term rental properties. The purpose of this update is to report
back to Council on the number of licensed properties as well as compliance efforts.
11. BACKGROUND
Prior to adopting Ordinance No, 15, Series 2017, the town hired research consultants to help
identify community issues and concerns, and provide analysis of similar regulations in peer
resort areas. Multiple public meetings were hosted, and a large amount of public input was
gathered and reported back to Council. Below is a quick recap of initial findings and peer
resort comparison, along with recommendations from the consultants.
A summary of results from the short term rental survey indicated the following:
• 51 % of respondents "strongly support" an increase in regulations of short term rentals, with
21% "strongly opposed".
• 66% of survey respondents listed the licensing, application, and tax remittance regulations
as a priority area to increase regulation.
• 64% of survey respondents listed that enforcement is a priority area to increase regulation.
• 64% of survey respondents listed that areas under quality of life and community impacts are
a priority area to increase regulation.
• 62% of survey respondents listed that life safety is a priority area to increase regulation.
• 61% of survey respondents listed that the effect of short-term rentals on long-term
housing is a priority area.
• 69% of respondents feel that short-term rentals offer community benefits, by allowing Vail to
provide diverse lodging options for guests, increase the tax base, and provide additional
income for homeowners.
August 7, 2018 - Page 106 of 17
• 53% of respondents have reported that they are currently negatively impacted by the short-
term rental of a residential property. The most impactful impacts were identified as parking,
traffic, noise and trash.
The peer resort comparison identified the Town of Vail as "passive" on the level of
regulations. Communities such as Durango, South Lake Tahoe, Jackson and Park City not
only have individual licensing and permits, but have implemented caps on the number of
rentals allowed, zoning restrictions, require land use applications and local contacts for each
property. Jackson, Park City and South Lake Tahoe require building and fire code
compliance and physical inspections of units for life safety measures. Crested Butte is
another example of more aggressive regulations, with caps on the number of rentals, zoning
restrictions, owner affidavit, $750 per year license fee, physical inspection of the unit and
parking, and recently implemented a 5% excise tax on vacation rentals.
Town of Vail new regulations remain passive compared to these peer resort communities
in that the town did not implement caps on the number of rentals, zoning, land use
applications, or physical life safety inspections.
Recommendations provided by the consultant in 2017 stated "the current state of
licensing does not allow for a quick summary or quantification of residential short-term
rentals, nor does it provide the ability to quantify, identify, or summarize the licensing
data for use by town staff and departments. The rent -by -owner versus professionally
managed licensing revealed overlaps between the two categories and does not provide a
comprehensive list of units. The town does not have an automated or streamlined
licensing process."
Town of Vail Regulations
Utilizing all of this information, analyzing best practices for regulatory compliance, and with
additional input during Town Council meetings, Ordinance No. 15, Series 2017 was
approved. The ordinance requires owners wishing to short term rent their property to obtain
an STR license at an annual cost of $150. Other provisions of the regulation include:
• Designation of a local agent that resides within a 60 minute distance of the STR
property and is available 24/7. The named agent must provide proof of distance
through a driver's license, property tax record or voting record. The named agent may
designate the 24/7 duties to an "on call" person if they also reside within 60 minutes.
• Property owner must provide a notarized affidavit that they have specified safety
measures in place such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire
extinguishers and that advertised occupancy limits comply with town code. The
affidavit also validates the owner's agreement to comply with all town regulations and
specifically mentions trash, parking, lighting and noise.

• The Property owner must identify who is designated for remitting sales & lodging
taxes.
• The property owner must provide proof of written notice to an adjoining residential
dwelling unit if the rental is located within a duplex.
• Signed acknowledgment of "Good Neighbor Guidelines".
• Advertisements of the rental must include the STR license number immediately
following the rental description.
• All sales and lodging taxes must be remitted timely, for each property (not on a lump
sum basis).
• Complaints (such as noise, trash, parking, etc.) will be directed to the local
agent. The agent must resolve the issue within 60 minutes (30 minutes between
11 pm and 7am). The town's code enforcement or police may become involved if not
resolved and a formal complaint can then be submitted to the town by the
complainant.
• Three verified formal complaints may result in revocation of the STR license for
that property. Once revoked, the license may not be renewed for two years. If a
duplex unit, written consent from the neighboring unit must be obtained prior to
renewing after revocation.
III. IMPLEMENTATION
Public education and outreach efforts have been effective, with 87% of respondents taking
part in the 2018 Town of Vail Community Survey indicating that they were aware of the
town's new regulations on short term rentals. Despite the community outreach, the town
estimates there is 56% compliance with the licensing of identified short term rentals. To date,
the town has licensed 569 properties for short term rental. Based on our short term rental
software, we estimate 442 unlicensed properties. In addition, the software estimates another
890 units being advertised that have not been confirmed as licensed or not.
The town has collected approximately $965,000 in sales tax and $337,750 in lodging tax from
currently licensed short term rentals by owner. This is not necessarily incremental "new"
collections, as many of these properties were already remitting sales and lodging taxes prior
to the new regulations.
As expected, town staff has experienced some growing pains with the implementation of this
new regulation. A new software program was implemented to enable the town to identify
unlicensed rentals and provide a system to track complaints and violations. Software
implementation has gone smoothly, but complications in tying back property addresses to
county assessor records needed resolution. This problem was resolved July 1st
Utilizing the new "STR Helper" software program, staff is able to identify unlicensed units
being advertised online. Once identified, staff follows the below process for enforcing
compliance with the STR regulations:
- 3
August 7, 2018 - Page 108 of 17
• A letter is sent to the property owner restating the requirement for a license and
remittance of sales and lodging taxes, and informing the owner that a complete
application must be turned into the town within 14 days or they may receive a
summons to court.
• If the owner does not obtain a license within the 14 day window, a summons will be
served requiring a court appearance in Municipal Court. The town allows a mail -in
option if the defendant pleads guilty and the court will notify them of fines assessed by
the judge.
A phased approach to enforcement is necessary due to the volume and time spent on each
case. In June, 175 non-compliant properties were sent a notification from the town stating
that they were operating without a license. Of those, 108 have since come into compliance,
or have been determined to be exempt. The remainder may be summoned to court charged
with operating without a license and nonpayment of sales and lodging taxes. Five summons
have been issued so far. The process of issuing summons has proven to be a challenge as
well, with time -intensive research to track down LLC or trust ownership and hurdles to serving
a summons out of state (or country). Staff is concerned that these barriers to enforcement
will not improve compliance in a timely manner.
IV. FEEDBACK
As with any new regulation, staff has been fielding many questions. The most common
questions have centered on the exemption stated in the ordinance. This exemption was
intended to reduce impacts to the established lodges and "condo-tels" that hold a lodging
business license and are serviced by a full time onsite manager / front desk operation.
"Serviced by" is interpreted to mean that rentals are exclusively booked through and sales
taxes remitted by the lodge/condo-tel. Any rental advertisements or bookings outside of that
lodge/condo-tel license holder would require a unique STR license.
Due to the myriad of property types in Vail, this has caused confusion and disagreement.
Staff has been actively meeting one-on-one with homeowners and property managers to help
explain requirements of the ordinance.
Below is a summary of issues raised by some of the property managers (and staff
responses). For more detail on the feedback from this group, please refer to Attachment A
which provides emails that were sent to Council in the previous month.
• Property Management companies have voiced they are being double -licensed by the
town requiring a business license for their property management operation and a short
term rental license in the property owner's name for each unit rented. Prior to March
1, 2018 STR properties were not required to have a license. A property management
business license is a license for the business they are conducting, not the individual
rentals they manage. The units rented through a property management company may
change often, which makes it difficult to track. A unique license for each STR
-4-
August 7, 2018 - Page 109 of 17
enables the town to track a variety of data: the short term rental impact on town -
wide housing stock; tracking complaints and town code violations for individual rental
units that may ultimately lead to revocation of that license; life safety affidavits by unit
and acknowledgment of good neighbor guidelines; and the tracking of sales tax
collections by unit to enable town staff to audit reported revenue.
Property managers have suggested reporting the listing of rented units (a changing
inventory) and sales tax collections on a worksheet so a tax return can be remitted
"lump sum". This would create a manual process of tracking via excel spreadsheets
when the town has a system that is built to collect, track and analyze revenues by
license. The remittance of tax returns is an online process. While currently it requires
individual payments for each return, the town is underway with implementation of a
new sales tax software that would allow multiple tax returns to be paid with one
transaction.
• Under the same topic of concern, property managers wanted to understand why
properties licensed as a "lodge" were different from properties they managed. Based
on the advice of our town attorney, the ordinance states that units qualifying for
exemption are defined as units "serviced by a full time onsite property manager".
"Serviced by" includes typical lodging services such as a front desk, but it also
includes the remittance of sales and lodging taxes. The "onsite" term is also of
importance in determining exempt status.
V. COMPLAINTS
To date, there have been 16 complaints logged through the town's STR Hotline (6 for trash, 4
for noise, 2 for parking, 1 for life safety and 3 for pet waste). As tracked through the town's
emergency dispatch services, an additional 30 complaints have been made by calling the
non -emergency number (22 for parking issues, 5 for noise and 3 for trash violations). We
have one logged formal complaint, regarding a life safety violation.
The next phase of enforcement will include violation notices sent to property owners. No
properties are currently at risk for revocation of their license.
VI. NEXT STEPS
Staff plans to continue enforcement of STR regulations. This involves the identification of
advertised rentals for license compliance, pursuing compliance for those units and tracking of
complaints / violations of town code.
A request has been made by some property managers for Council to have additional
dialogue on specific items. Does Council wish to have a discussion at a future meeting?

Subject: Lodging Community request for meeting with Vail Town Council
Dear Council;
As a follow up to earlier emails concerning our dismay with the STR Licensing Ordinance and its enforcement, a group
of Property Managers has gathered to discuss this matter and how it has negatively affected our business and
ultimately our community. Our meeting was attended by a group of Property Managers representing approximately
2500 beds in Vail mostly in prime locations which were designed to be resort properties. The number of Property
Managers who have expressed interest in joining our coalition will substantially increase that number . As we think
you realize at this point, there is great angst among local Property Managers and we would like to address the Council
on this matter.
This Ordinance as interpreted by the Town and staff is causing undue hardship on Property Managers and angering
property owners. Without a modification, local Property Managers of vacation rentals (which are vital to Vail) will have
to make significant changes to how we manage our businesses due to the unrealistic administrative burdens of this
Ordinance. Those changes will most certainly affect our visitors to Vail in a negative way.
The ski industry is unique in that the lodging business -model of every noteworthy ski resort in the USA is for the
majority of the beds for destination tourists are provided by privately -owned condominiums and homes. This type of
lodging provides a more viable and affordable option for many visitors to Vail and especially families. This lodging
option is made possible by the private investment of second homeowners. The reason is that the seasonality of ski
resorts is generally unfavorable to a hotel operation. Thus Property Managers who provide the services that enable
non-resident property owners to rent their homes is vital to Vail. Without these properties, the bed -base in Vail would
not be able to sustain this community. Yet while property managers have been providing a valuable service to
property owners and our community; we have been slighted, ignored and mistreated by the Town of Vail in the
adoption and implementation of this Ordinance as it currently exists.
We all share the feeling of being blindsided by this Ordinance as none of us ever imagined that the guidelines to rein
in irresponsible and non-compliant self -renting property owners would ever extend to a bona fide property
management operation. This Ordinance is biased against Property Managers and has alienated Property Managers
and the owners we represent alike. Both of which have been playing by the rules for years!
At our meeting, we discussed the implications of the STR Ordinance, Licensing and enforcement and learned that we
are getting inconsistent and contradictory information from the TOV staff with regard to this Ordinance. (To be fair to
the staff, we have to admit that this all has to be a bit overwhelming for them as well.) As our discussion evolved, it
seemed clear to us that the Council and the staff do not seem to understand our business or the vital services we
provide. In fact, the Ordinance actually discourages Property Managers, which is unfortunate as we believe that
Property Managers provide the primary solution to the issues that the Town was seeking to address.
Noting all of the above, we want to be part of the solution to help the Town achieve the goals intended by the STR
Ordinance yet still being able to provide the best experience for tourists and property owners who make their homes
available for guests. The impact of this Ordinance on Property Managers is significant and immediate. As such, this
matter is of great urgency to us. Having this revisited next year or somewhere down the road is not acceptable. This
needs to be addressed now as we all need to make decisions now to prepare for the winter.
2
August 7, 2018 - Page 111 of 17
We are seeking to (1) amend the Ordinance such that Property Management companies be added to the excepted
categories which presently include lodging services in hotels, motels, lodges or bed and breakfast establishments.; or (2)
have the Council issue a directive to the Staff to delay enforcement against Property Managers and the property
owners represented by legitimate Property Managers until such time that this matter can be adequately re -addressed
with modifications that are acceptable to everyone concerned. It is our hope that we would be included in the
discussion to amend the Ordinance.
Our objective is to seek a meeting with the Council to address this matter as soon as possible. We are all now making
plans for the winter including staff, therefore timing is of the essence. Thank you for your consideration.

Subject: RE: Lodging Community request for meeting with Vail Town Council
Vail Town Council Members:
I am adding Triumph Mountain Properties to the voices in support of Bart Cuomo's email, and requesting that the Council
address, sooner rather than later, the challenges in the STR ordinance that we as professional property management and
vacation rental companies are working through.
It is important to emphasize that we recognize the need for regulation of STR activity, and we appreciate the Town's desire to
level the playing field in terms of having all rental properties collecting and remitting tax as well as having some baseline guest
servicing guidelines.
To Bart's point, we all have agency agreements with the owners of the properties we manage and rent. By definition, we are the
part of the STR marketplace that has long been in compliance with the main goals of the ordinance. But as it is written, the
ordinance creates no allowances for our past compliance and in several ways totally ignores the agency relationship we have
with property owners.
We would appreciate the opportunity to work with Council to improve the ordinance in ways that reflect the reality of what we
do and how we do it, while contributing to having it accomplish the Town's goals.
We look forward to working together constructively to achieve these goals.

MEMORANDUM
To: Vail Town Council
From: Vail Local Housing Authority
Date: August 7, 2018
Re: Short Term Rental Position Statement
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward the position statement of the Vail Local Housing
Authority on the matter of short term rental in the Vail community. It is understood that the Vail Town
Council recently adopted policies and passed short term rental regulations for residential properties in
the Town of Vail. The negative affects and unintended consequences of short term rental on the
availability and cost of housing are well documented. Outlined below is the position statement of the
Vail Local Housing Authority on short term rentals:
Short Term Rental
The short term rental of existing residential housing units has become a prevalent and increasing form
of lodging in the Town of Vail. While the Vail Local Housing Authority recognizes short term rental
provides additional lodging options for the Town's guest, we believe this trend adversely impacts the
availability and affordability of long term rental units and home purchases for the Town's local residents.
The Town of Vail should take proactive steps to mitigate the adverse impacts of short term rental. To
mitigate the adverse impacts the Vail Local Housing Authority recommends the following:
• Appropriate financial means and implement strategic methods which mitigate the adverse
impacts to the availability and affordability of long term rental housing markets and
homeownership caused by the practice of short term rentals.
• Ensure the Town's cost to administer the mitigation measures is included in any fee structure
adopted to permit, license, register, enforce, inspect, etc. short term rental businesses.
• Maintain a database of all residential dwelling units in the Town of Vail to establish a baseline
and then continually monitor and project trends adversely impacting the availability and
affordability of long term rental units and affects on homeownership.

ApplicantTown of Vail
Planner: Jonathan Spence
Spence presented an update on the topic of commercial ski storage, and
some background on how the Town arrived at its current recommendation.
Purpose is to look at what is considered ski storage, and what is not. Staff
met with Jeff Babb (Vail Resorts) and Alison Wadey (Vail Chamber and
Business Association). He read the proposed language in the text
amendment. This approach has been slimmed down and simplified from the
previous approach. Staff updated the Town Council on this topic several
5 min.
20 min.
August 7, 2018 - Page 126 of 17
weeks ago.
Perez — Please tell me how you got to this simplified approach. There are
many issues in the PEC minutes from past meetings that were discussed by
the task force that are not addressed in this new approach. For example, the
hours of operation for ski storage.
Spence — Some of the issues that were not addressed have not been a
problem. For example, we have not had problems with the hours of
operation. Also, on easements, there is so much variety, and we will need to
review each easement separately.
Gillette — What are the problems that were identified?
Spence — Mostly some merchants had identified other merchants that were
seen as possibly not following the rules. This text amendment will clarify what
is defined as ski storage.
Kurz — Interested to hear from Jeff. Thanked Jeff Babb and Alison Wadey
for their views. I would like to hear the buy in from the general merchants.
Public Comment —
Jeff Babb, Vail Resorts — Commended the staff for the time they have put
into this issue. This is a problem that is not really a problem. There were
several businesses that identified other businesses not in conformance with
rules. We needed to go back to the original intent, which is to unencumber
our guests from their equipment as soon as possible. We want to make this
as convenient for the guest as possible, and make sure its on -brand with
Vail. There was no opposition that I am aware of from other merchants. We
think this is resolving the issues.
Perez — There is no definition with The Vail Brand. Is this the Town of Vail or
Vail Resorts? It's capitalized.
Spence — The Vail brand is a term we frequently used in general in our
discussions.
Stockmar — This term is used in general. Suggest removing the capital on
Vail Brand, to lower case "b".
Perez — Just want to be clear if this is related to Town of Vail or Vail Resorts.
Please change the capital B to lower case b.
Stockmar — This is a complex issue. Appreciate simplifying the issue. Agree
with the need to keep up the Vail brand. This seems like a reasonable
approach to the issue.
Kurz — Timing of this is way better than what we have done in the past. In
the past we addressed these issues in November. It's now July, and a much
better time in advance of the ski season.
Perez — Asked about skis that have been rented or recently serviced. Did
you consider that these skis should be stored in the basement?
Babb — We came to agreement that a ski in the shop rented to a guest that
is returned to the rental shop used to go back in the same spot; but when it's
August 7, 2018 - Page 127 of 17
rented, they can put the ski in another location more convenient to the
customer.
Perez — Was there discussion that this will increase the number of skis
displayed outside?
Spence — If we prohibit rented skis outdoors, they will be filled by other skis.
It's related more to the availability of space outdoors. If you have land
outside to have outdoor display, that is a reality of the cost of leasing the
space.
Stockmar — There is a need to create a sense of vibrancy. Skis can be
displayed on any level that does not interrupt the guest experience.
Public Comment — None
Kjesbo — Seems better, more clear cut, and better definitions
Gillette — Agreed
Perez — My questions have been addressed
Stockmar — This to me is an ad hoc situation with some but little teeth. It's
not hard to remember that this Town only exists because of the mountain,
both summer and winter. This is a solution to a problem that is minor.
Ludwig Kurz moved to approve. Brian Gillette seconded the motion and it
passed (5-0).

3.3. 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 Section 12-10-17, Leasing of Parking Spaces, Vail Town
Code, to amend Section 12-10-17, Leasing of Parking Spaces, in order to
facilitate the short term leasing of parking spaces, and setting forth details in
regard thereto. (PEC18-0028)
Applicant:Town of Vail
Planner: Chris Neubecker
Neubecker introduced the topic to the commission including a recap of the
existing parking regulations. He provided the commission with a map
showing where leasing of parking is currently permitted. Neubecker
introduced Shelly Jarnot, who is interested in providing a website/web
application to facilitate the leasing of unused parking spaces.
Neubecker discussed the issues regarding the leasing of parking spaces in
different parts of the community. He spoke to the questions raised in the
staff report.
Gillette asked, what would be the Town's response if someone complained
about parking on private property?
Stockmar relayed an experience where the Town recommended that he call
a tow truck to remove the vehicle in his space.
Neubecker mentioned that a recommendation is not requested at this time
75 min.
August 7, 2018 - Page 128 of 17
but rather a discussion of the issues. He mentioned that other sections of the
code may need to be amended as a result of this proposed change.
Gillette recommended that we remove the leasing language and regulations
altogether, and not regulate. Then see what problems might arise, if any.
Stockmar agrees and wonders if we are making too big of an issue out of
this. May need to further empower the Police Department.
Gillette- This is already occurring on Mill Creek.
Perez -Worried about liability issues from her experience as an HOA
representative, and unintended consequences.
Stockmar-I agree, but that is where empowering the Police Department
comes in.
Perez- Should not be the responsibility of the Police. They have better
things to do.
Neubecker brought up the challenges perhaps with additional vehicle booting
and towing, and the impact on the Vail brand.
Stockmar spoke to a number of issues that may arise from a program such
as this.
Perez spoke to the problems of vehicles in places where they shouldn't be or
people not know where they are going.
Gillette -Let it go and then see what problems may arise.
Neubecker spoke to the issues within the short term parking in the villages,
and vehicle access over pedestrian malls.
Commissioners spoke to support of this prohibition of accessing over
pedestrian malls.
Gillette- Asked for clarification with the Police Department about what
happens when someone is parked in your spot.
Stockmar spoke on demand reduction, as well as supply.
Perez asked about the Red Sandstone garage coming online and the plan
for that parking.
Neubecker provided an answer regarding current Ford Park parking lot
users, many of whom will relocate to Red Sandstone.
Kurz- This is a creative solution, but how much more traffic are we going to
create within town with this program? There will be unintended
consequences. In the past we have spoken about reducing the number of
cars and traffic.
Perez-Bustang?
Shelly Jarnot-Need to think about what we are trying to solve. We have a
parking shortage. Ideally someone will know where they are supposed to
August 7, 2018 - Page 129 of 17
park before they arrive. Spoke to market forces determining prices. Spoke
to the guest experience and the problems with frontage road parking.
Kjesbo spoke to the underutilized parking at Vail Mountain School and other
locations.
Neubecker asked for additional feedback from the commission as far as
direction or additional information needed.
Gillette -Eliminate current regulations, restrict in pedestrian areas, and see
how it goes.
Kjesbo-Agree with Gillette. Less regulation, the better.
Kurz- Not sure we should remove existing regulations. Not sure we should
open it wide.
Perez- Likes the current regulations which require a utilization study. Not
sure of the impacts without a study. Need to know more.
Stockmar- A lot we don't know, but the solution may not be in front of us.
Should address current regulations. Needs more study. Would love to get
cars out of the core.
Neubecker walked the Commissioners through the current regulations in the
Town Code. He spoke of the Parking Task Force and bringing this item
before them.
Jarnot- Spoke on the idea of building more parking vs. using existing
parking. Cautioned against over regulation.
Stockmar- Agrees, but there are other issues that may need to be
addressed.
Neubecker recommended tabling this item to August 27, 2018.
Stockmar discussed the task force.

Pierce, Margaret Rogers. Kara Woods
AIPP Board members absent: None
Others present: Molly Eppard, AIPP Coordinator, Chad Salli — TOV engineer, Rachel Hill — project manager,
TAB Associates — architect for RSE garage, presenting finalists artists.
1. Swearing in of AIPP Board member for a two year term: Kara Woods
2. Seibert Memorial location review — Bill Rey, Seibert Committee.
Two locations are presented for the placement of the Pete Seibert Memorial Sculpture. The presented
locations are on TOV property — the Southwest planter on the International Bridge and an open green area
across from the shoe store on the Gore Creek Promenade. Bill Rey clarifies it is not where the ice sculptures
are placed. These locations were sent to the Board for consideration in scaled images, as directed by the AIPP
Board at the April meeting. Bill Rey asks the Board for their thoughts on these proposed locations. Molly
reminds the Board that today's discussion is only about location. He comments people will want to approach
the sculpture for photos, so ground level is more appealing. He thinks the planter is a bit crowded, but the TOV
can always move the sculpture in the future if they deem it necessary. He thinks the location by Pirate Ship
Park is too busy. He understands as time evolves the TOV may find a more appropriate location in the future.
Julie asks about the backside of the planter and if it is steep. Kara asks the Board if they are ready to make a
motion, as time is limited. Margaret would like to discuss it further. Kathy questions the activities around the
creek and if the sculpture would get in the way. Margaret asks if other sites are available. Bill Rey comments
the TOV presented the Pirate Ship location and the Bridge. He mentions the planter by Squash Blossom as
well. He thinks it should be in a visible location. Molly comments it is TOV property, but Pete would not be
gesturing towards the mountain. Margaret asks about the Roger Staub Park. Bill Rey remarks there is no
public exposure. Molly mentions we looked at the site with the Diana Donovan, but the feedback was it is too
far out of the way. Margaret would like to have further discussion. He mentions Susie Tjossem also suggested
having it in front of the ski museum. Susan moves that the Board more carefully looks at these sites and
discuss at the next meeting. Julie seconds the motion made by Susan. Kathy discusses the past several
weeks of looking at locations and many which have been dismissed as possibilities. Molly asks Bill Rey if he
would be able to attend the May 30th meeting.
3. Approval of minutes from April 2nd meeting. Correction is addressed for attendance.
4. No citizen input.
5. Lawrence Weiner installation review.
Molly informs the Board that we have gone through much iteration, as far as scale, height, and orientation of
the installation. We have looked at the landscape plan as well in relation to the installation. Molly shows the
digital rendering as approved by the studio and the Logan's. The height of the letters is 18 inches. She also
passes around the color pantone 299 which was selected by the studio. Molly reminds the Board that the scale
August 7, 2018 - Page 133 of 17
of this wall is very large, so the installation was sited in relation to the scale of the wall. She reminds the Board
that this is also being installed on the curved wall, so the visibility has been taken into consideration with the
curvature of the wall. The text will drop exactly as it is on the Logan's old home. The landscape plan will hide
some of the imperfections on the wall. Molly informs the Board that Kent Logan is going to pay the costs of
over $28,000 for the installation of the work. AIPP will pay approximately $5,000 in some additional costs. We
would also have a plaque created. We will have ShipArt come to template the wall prior to the installation, so
that is when any tweaking might happen. The next step is for the Board to approve the proposed installation,
enter into a contract with Kent & Vicki Logan, and get an installation time -line. Molly comments we should look
at a dedication ceremony. The Board unanimously approves the installation of the Lawrence Weiner work as
presented.
6. Artist Presentations for Red Sandstone Elementary Garage Project
• John Fleming
Writing a collective story inspired by aspen tree carvings of herder Pacomio Chacon.
(18) 20' tall x 12" wide steel blades — kinetic. % plate mild steel which is welded to get the height. The
light color will not be susceptible to fading. He is interested in the way the rust will bleed over time. It is
not corten steel. The white part is an industrial paint.
• Marsh Scott
Mountain Markings — Steel wildlife inspired cut-outs to be affixed to exterior wall of structure.
• Mario Miguel Echevarria
Ice flowers and snow crystals — three dimensional sculptures or two dimensional murals.
• Demiurge
Crystallofolia — an amalgamation of ice flowers in a sculptural installation of three towering ice flowers
blossoms.
The Board discusses the presentations narrows their focus on the art concept presented by John Fleming.
They liked how he wants to engage the students and community in the final design. They also like the kinetic
nature of this installation, so it will not be static and more interactive. Another appealing element was the lack
of necessary maintenance for his proposed work and its visibility. Kara comments that the streaking of the
trees may look unmaintained, so we should discuss his method of application a bit more. Molly comments we
would want an anti -graffiti application, so extra "lines" are not added to the work. Trish asks if we should ask to
Town of Vail Page 2
August 7, 2018 - Page 134 of 17
see other options of material application and more variation than the stratified black and white. Margaret
comments that it evokes the concept of an aspen. Susan comments that it is peaceful. Margaret would like to
explore lighting for the installation. Molly will request to see an itemized budget prior to officially accepting the
work. Julie comments that the Board should stay out of directing Fleming with design elements in discussing
materials with him. If benches are to be included we would need to work with the architects and TOV public
works. They would also like to select his proposed location of the path for his aspen inspired installation.
Margaret motions to award the contract to John Fleming for the public art at the RSE Garage project. The
Board unanimously approves the public art as presented by John Fleming.
7. Coordinator Updates
Molly informs the board at this time we are exploring the relocation of the Tobolowsky Chinese Wall from the
International Bridge, as it has always felt unbalanced in the one planter. There is a possibility to relocate it to
the new landscaped area for the bus lanes in front of the Village parking structure. Molly shows the plan
created by Gregg Barrie for the location of the Tobolowsky. The Board unanimously approves the relocation of
the work by Tobolowsky.
Molly reminds the Board of the Patrick Dougherty photography exhibit at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
Education Center.
Meeting adjourned.

2. Citizen input.
3. Seibert Memorial location review — Bill Rey, Seibert Committee.
Molly shows the images of the proposed locations to the board which they have viewed in person since the last
meeting. The locations are the northwest planter on the International Bridge and the Gore Creek Promenade
across from Wishes. Margaret comments that either location is fine, but prefers the location by the creek. Julie
and Bill P. also prefer the spot along the creek. Kathy comments that the location is tucked away on the Gore
Creek and has a nice backdrop. The board motions and approves unanimously the work be sited at the Gore
Creek location.
4. Lawrence Weiner installation review & timeline.
Molly reviews the status and timeline of the installation. The mock-up was reviewed on site May 22 with minor
adjustments. She sent a press announcement to the Vail Daily on May 28. She will follow-up as it has not yet
been published in the paper. Gregg Barrie has a developed landscape plan for the area which will happen the
week of June 25. The height of the plants will grow to cover the imperfections of the lower portion of the wall.
Molly sent a letter to the Solaris HOA board of directors advising them of the installation and information on the
artist. The installation itself will take place on June 18 — 19. Molly asks the board for direction on a
reception/dedication for the donation. The board thinks later in July/early-August would work well since there
are so many events. They want to make sure it is not lost in all of the events. They would like to look at July 31,
August 1 or 2nd. It can also happen during Dance —just earlier in the evening. The board would like to have a
reception on the deck of La Tour. Molly will reach out to the Logan's. The board would like to invite the artist to
join.
5. Patrick Dougherty installation logistics review & timeline.
Molly updates the board on the status of the willow harvesting for the installation. She will have a staging area
east of the Moroles for the willow storage during the installation. We will have barricades and a sandwich board
sign indicating what is happening. The Leadville willows were harvested May 22 — 25 & to be delivered
Tuesday May 29. The Sylvan Lake State Park willows were harvested starting May 29 with a delivery
happening by the 1st. Molly is coordinating all documentation of the installation including, photography, time
lapse, & a video of installation and talk. She ordered underground locates on May 29. Today the public works
crews are cleaning willows at shops which we felled from the Red Sandstone Garage project and will be
delivered on June 4th. The public works crews did a run to Home Depot to gather supplies & bins. The
Installation build begins June 4 at 7 a.m. when the scaffold, fence, and auger/skid steer is to be delivered in
morning. The 6 inch drill is so we can dig the 100 holes for the larger structural pieces. The 3 structural stems
August 7, 2018 - Page 136 of 17
are 2 - 3 inches and placed in the holes. This is about 20% of the overall materials. The volunteers will begin at
8:00 a.m. on June 4th. We now have over 50 volunteers participating. Molly has organized the volunteer
schedule into two daily shifts — 8:00 — noon and 1:00 — 5:00 p.m. There will be approximately 5 volunteers per
shift. We have volunteers coming from all over the state including someone flying in from Utah and a couple
from New Hampshire extending their vacation in Vail to participate. We have tee shirts ordered for all of the
volunteers. We will see Patrick's design concepts when he arrives on Monday. He uses rope to outline the
footprint of the installation. From there he determines where the structural pieces will be located. It is also
decided as a result of the underground locates. The books will arrive this week for the artist talk and lecture on
June 18 at Donovan. Doors will open at 5:30 with the talk starting at 6:00. Alpine Arts Center will have a class
at BFAG on June 19 making birdhouses from some of the willow scraps. Molly is giving a private tour to the
CML participants on June 21. Molly informs the board the ribbon cutting will take place on June 22. Kara
explains that we will have it onsite unless we have bad weather. There will be finger food to limit waste. Molly
thinks a family -friendly picnic style opening may be best. The board decides a 4:00 — 6:00 p.m. opening time
frame for the opening. Molly will also have waivers onsite for any volunteer who may not have submitted the
signed form. The volunteers will likely be stripping leaves the first couple of days. Patrick directs the volunteers
for their duties and tasks. Molly confirms that all supplies — including gloves, sunblock, clippers, etc. will all be
at the installation for the volunteers. The board thanks Molly for her work on this project.
6. Coordinator updates
The board asks about any updates for John Fleming's installation. Molly comments we are looking at the
contract now. She comments we will want to see an example of the material. Kathy agrees.
Meeting adjourned.

1. Review and Approve June 12, 2018 Meeting Results, approved with changes.
Motion: Morales Second: Meza Vote: 5-0
2. Resolution No. 12 Series of 2018, Second Amendment to the Development Agreement between the
Town of Vail, the Vail Local Housing Authority and Sonnenalp Properties, Inc.
Ruther presented an update on the Solar Vail development agreement. The number of Town rental
restricted units has increased from 16 to 17 in exchange for restructuring the agreement. Funding
was not increased per Ruther.
McDougall asked what the changed in the financial structure.
Ruther stated the previously approved funding would be placed in a certificate of deposit which will
be held until project completion.
Morales said agreement doesn't say what happens with the 17 units. Should it?
No per Ruther.
Wilkins moved to approve Resolution 12, Series 2018 Second Amendment to the Development
Agreement between the Town of Vail, the Vail Local Housing Authority and Sonnenalp Properties,
Inc.

Motion: Wilkins
Second: Morales Vote: 5-0
3. Employee Housing Unit Deed Restriction Exchange Request located at 44 Vail Road Unit 3/
44 Willow Place
Morales said the board would approval subject to deed in front of loan.
What happens to the extra square footage they are supplying? The Town will keep track of any
additional square footage. The Town code doesn't allow a square footage credit so Town gained on
this exchange.
The applicant wants to present to Council that there is no incentive to exchange as exchange
square footage will be greater or lesser than the square footage needed to meet in the exchange.
The Town needs to look at EHU as an asset vs. a cost.
Looking at this request, Lindstrom said, this has nothing to do with land banking. The Board is
being asked to make a recommendation.
Morales said deed should be recorded prior to loan documents.
Ruther said this doesn't apply to the exchange program.
Morales and McDougall asked if it matters if the Town is not in first position.
Per Ruther there is no obligation with an exchange to put deed restriction in first position.
McDougall sees since exchange is going from underperforming to a performing deed restriction so
perhaps that is the argument to not being in first position.
The exchange EHU is currently an under performing unit moving to a performing unit as it has to
resident occupied.
McDougall made a motion to approve a recommendation to Council for the proposed exchange.
Motion: McDougall Second: Meza Vote: 5-0
4. Lionshead Temporary Housing Proposal
Eric Schmidt and Steve Sendor, representatives for Kim Hughes owner of Concert Hall Plaza, were
present to answer questions.
Ruther explained the proposal concept. There is an opportunity to convert existing space to
housing. If built the developer and owner would like it to be deed restricted at their will. Meaning at
some time the EHUs could go away for instance, if redevelopment occurs there could be potential
housing obligation.
Current deed restrictions are allowed per the Town code but not temporary uses. Code would need
to be amended or amend the deed restriction. If amend the deed restriction wouldn't have to amend
Town Code.
Believe it is the best use of the space. Eric and Steve see it is an opportunity. The location specified
is mid level of the building located under Moe's BBQ.
Wilkins asked if it is dorm style.
Vail Local Housing Authority Meeting Results Page 2 06/26/2018
August 7, 2018 - Page 142 of 17
Per Eric and Steve, they are looking to do a master lease. Vail Resorts has some interest in this
concept. No parking and feel the location removes need for parking. Parking is the employer's
parking.
What is requested of the Board?
Representatives want a Board recommendation.
What is the underlying zoning? LMU1, residential units are allowed in this zoning. Deed restriction
is what is wanted by only temporary use.
Ruther said the goal is to have the Board review request and if they have a position share it now.
Lindstrom asked to remind why this type use is not used now.
Ruther said the library used this concept and took back EHUs when space was needed.
Meza asked if the owner was looking for a specific time frame.
Per representatives they are still working on economics and time frame for use.
Wilkins asked who does the finish work. Representatives will finish out prior to renting.
Doesn't meet current deed restriction need. There is a benefit to use.
Morales supports as the Town is not putting funding toward the project.
Lindstrom said the residents will meet deed restriction.
Ruther said only change is to limit the duration to the discretion of the developer.
Cohen asked if the units were rented to seasonal employees and Vail Resorts lease for year does
that meet the EHU requirements.
Ruther said yes.
All Board members are in support of moving discussion forward.
Next up was a discussion of the 6 West project and deed restriction acquisitions recommendation
Craig Cohen attended on behalf of Vail Health.
Ruther provided a memo from Gore Creek Partners describing the current 6 West Apartment
project in Edwards. 120 rental apartments are being built of which 70% are deed restricted leaving
36 non -deed restricted. Units are expected to finish early January 2019. Steve Spessard has
approached the Town to see if there is interest in deed restricting 36 units. The Town would
purchase deed restrictions not property with Vail employees have first rights to rental. Ruther stated
the Town needs to look down valley for housing opportunities.
This approach does not involve Town development processes or the Town participating. Ruther
stated the Board would need to provide Council and citizens will want some assurance the EHUs
meet the Town's restriction criteria. Spessard's letter outlines a few options. Spessard has also
approached the hospital as well.

August 7, 2018 - Page 143 of 17
Craig Cohen with Vail Health said there is interest in a master lease of 6 West.
No pricing restrictions for EC units same for TOV. If someone takes on master lease should get
some kind of discount per Cohen.
Ruther said quick, volume and strategically from Council view down valley opportunities.
Wilkins asked who is doing financing. Cohen wasn't sure and could get information. Cohen said
Spessard didn't get any credits from County.
Mary asked if the Town was doing master leasing. No, per Ruther, we would set up a structure for
inquiries.
Mary suggested the hospital and TOV both do master leases and instead of an either or scenario.
6 West would be rented to Vail employees first similar to Solar Vail agreement.
Ruther said the Town is getting little risk, didn't get involved in project development it's simply buy
deed restrictions. It's a win for Council.
Mary asked if the money comes from Vail InDEED program. Ruther doesn't have an answer for that
at this time. Some funding could come from Vail InDEED and could come elsewhere in budget.
How does enforceability work?
Ruther said we'll need to work with our partners. He sees a violation could be not a civil rather a
criminal action where county is bypassed.
This type project makes the units local rentals vs. seasonal or second home rentals.
How do Vail employees/employers know about 6 West type properties?
Lease duration will be set by master lease, similar to Solar Vail.
6 West Apartments project is on Council agenda July 3, 2018 seeking Council direction if the
Housing department should continue.
5. Housing Policies
Ruther reviewed past meeting notes. He updated the formatting based on the Board and Council
feedback. He added a catch phase for each policy statement.
1) Change wording and add "active pursuit of"
2) Make 2 number 1
3) Lindstrom thinks still too passive. Make more of statement similar to no. 2. Modify to "A
proactive and a solution oriented environment promotes private sector investment in deed
restricted homes."
4) Change catch phrase> leverage financial strength
a. The town will use its financial strength and acumen to acquire deed restrictions.
5) "will align", comma after goal
6) Funds create deed restriction, deed restrictions are homes
7) The Town ensures opportunity and access to its housing programs and initiatives through a
clear, equitable and easy to administer process for housing.

August 7, 2018 - Page 144 of 17
8) The town supports a no net loss of residential occupied deed restrictions policy.
9) No issues
10) Listen to audio council meeting
A recommendation to approve updated housing policies and further housing policies every other
year.
Ruther wants to create a policy document to highlight some of the policies. He will bring back to
council to approve/adopt by resolution.
6. Vail Local Housing Authority Webpage Development

policies programs, etc.

TOWN OF 1 X41

TOWN OF VAIL'
Memorandum
To: Vail Town Council
From: Department of Public Works
Date: August 7, 2018
Subject: Town Council Update — Slifer Fountain Repair
I. BACKGROUND
On February 20, 2018 staff presented the breakdown of the cost of construction for various
portions of work connected with improvements to the Slifer Square area. Included in the
breakdown was a bid alternate of $1.2 M to fully redesign and reconstruct the Slifer Square
Fountain. The Town Council determined it was not appropriate to proceed with the full
redesign and reconstruction of the fountain and directed staff to evaluate means of repairing
the fountain to correct the leaks which exist.
Staff prepared and issued a Request for Proposals for design/build services to firms
specializing in fountain construction on May 3, 2018. Two proposals were received and
evaluated and neither were responsible. Staff has gathered information in regards to the
proper method to repair the fountain. The method involves removal of the stone cobble and
wall veneer from the fountain basins and walls; repairing cracks and defects in the concrete;
installing new waterproofing system; and installing new flagstone basin floors and wall veneer
to match the surrounding walls in the area.
Staff is finalizing a negotiated price with Icon Inc., the contractor performing the remainder of
the work in Slifer Square, to implement the above mentioned process. The price will be
available at the time of the Town Council update. There are sufficient funds in the Slifer
Square capital budget to complete the fountain repairs. Staff and contractor are prepared to
perform the work this fall.
II. PUBLIC SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
While designed for aesthetic enhancement, Slifer Fountain has also become a popular
destination for locals and visitors who engage in wading and water play activities. These
activities include visitors climbing and jumping from boulders into the water basins. Due to these
increased activities, and for our concern for public safety, signs have been installed on the
fountain perimeter which prohibit, playing, climbing and wading in the fountain.
Currently, staff is proceeding in the direction indicated by the Town Council on February 20, 2018
to repair the fountain without redesign or removal of the large boulders. A change to the current
direction will postpone the repairs to the Slifer Fountain until the spring 2019 construction
season and increase the scope of work to be performed.
August 7, 2018 - Page 167 of 17
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Prior to proceeding staff wanted to make the Town Council aware of the concerns relating to
the project. The staff recommendation is to continue with the use of signage to restrict
activities in the fountain.
