TOV/CSE -6- 2007 Application for Funds Memo HORTONLANT&OW 222 Dexter Avenue North Seattle, WA 98109 Phone: 206-223-W55 Fax. 206-223-WS HL2.com Vail Summer Guest Profile Front Rance: The Front Range guest is a middle-aged adult (average age is 44), and half have children under the age of 12. They are married, and primarily come from dual income families (72% work full time), resulting in a relatively high household income of $123,000. They take 2 summer mountain trips a year, but-they are usually modest in scope-about 2 nights, with an average per diem of $280. Despite the high household income, these are working families who are still very budget conscious. They come to the mountains to relax and enjoy the outdoors with their family, and consequently prefer low-key activities like hiking, going to the spa, wildlife viewing, and concerts or events like Oktoberfest. Because the mountains are so accessible, they can plan quick day L.'r? to engage in active mountain sports like biking or rafting. For this group, taking family trips is a priority, but romantic getaways are also desired, if less frequently taken. DQaL..ation Markets: The Active Affluent is a middle-aged adult (average age is 44) ? Dallas or Chicago; half have children under the age of 17. They are married and primarily come from dual income families (760/a are employed full time), with an average household income of $142,000. They take a family-oriented summer mountain trip every 3 years. These trips are typically the "big vacation" of the summer-they stay for 4-7 days and an average of $425 per day. Because they come fi.,... areas where mountains are not readily accessible, they want to take advantage of as many traditional mountain activities as possible-hiking, backpacking, swimming, wildlife viewing, and horseback riding. They still want to relax (and will visit the spay but the goal is to have a true mountain -.,,t,;,. xence. Price is a concern, but the Active Affluent is also concerned with logistical details such as booking a hotel and planning activities. Most trips are family trips, but romantic getaways are also iq,,.Jing, though more infrequently taken. 1 Vail Local Marketing District Target Audience Profile: Front Range and Destination "Active Affluents" September 21, 2M HEMISPHERES Criteria: Front IIbuM • Live witIft the Denver DMA Front Range aps: Colorado Springs, Deriver, f3ardder, Greeley, and Fort Collins • Do not Gee at Vail or surrounding not a seasonal resident ¦ 25 years or older • Household C ,..- ?.:.

The goal of the FHWA is to continually improve bdghway sgifety by reducing highway fatalities and injuries by 20 percent in ten years. Ensuring safe travel on bigbmays is the guiding principle thr ughout the FHWA. Pedestrian fatalities account far about 12 percent of all traffic fatalities and are one of & )ow areas of the Safety Office. FHWA bas taken the position that walking and bicycling are legitimate modes of transportation. There is no question that conditions for bicycling and walking need to be improved in every community in the United States; it is no longer acceptable that over 5,000 pedestrians and bicyclists are killed in traffic every year, tbat people with disabilities cannot travel withomt encountering barriers, and that two desirable and efficient modes of travel have been made d#cult and unca.,gi„ able. Every transportation agengy has the responsibility and the opportunity to make a ddf `err a in the bicycle friendliness and walkability of our communities. The desdgn information to accommodate bdcycldatt and pedestrians is available, as is the funding. The USDOT [United States Department of Transportation] is committed to doing all it can to improve condition for bicycling and walking and to make them safer ways to travel PROPOSED DATES 2007 - Wednesday, September 19 LOCATION To be determined by the Town of Vail Timr- To be determined - can be a morning, afternoon, or evening workshop (approximately 4 hrs in length) -10- cobrado walks Town Of Vaai spon,J---1.:r 7r- J FEE. $5,000.00.

FAOUTATORS Gay Page; President of Colorado Walks Mike Turner, Se.?_.?ry of Colorado Walks PURPOSE The purpose of the Active Community Environment (ACE) Workshop is to develop a community, approach to identifying and solving the potential problems that affect pedestrians and bicyclists. 'If citizens are to increase their physical activity through everyday activities such as nonmotorized transportation; then communities must address community design issues and develop policies that make travel by foot or bicycle safe. and inviting. The workshop will generate awareness of the issues, a commitment to "do something about them," and. structure a plan of action specific to the needs of the community. just as one-person r-nnot solve the obesity epidemic in America, any one-person cannot solve the pedestrian. and bicycle safety problems; we need the collective effort of the community if we are to succeed THE PROBLEM A pedestrian is killed or injured about every six minutes. The 2001 Traffic Safety Facts report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicated that: 4,882 Pedestrians were killed; • 78,000 Pedestrians were injured; . • 728 Bicyclists were killed; and • 45,000 Bicyclists were injured in traffic crashes in the United States.

Par 2 STAl t OF THE TOWN ?., REPORI TOWN O 1'A r _ Prepared for Annual Community Meeting • Hosted by Vail Town Council & Staff • January 9, 2007 Building Upon our Success from Past to Present A Message from Vail's Mayor To the Stakeholders of Vail, In my 44 years as a resident of Vail, having served on the Town Council from 1978 to 1985 and nearly ready to complete another eight years on this board, I've never been more proud of this community than I am today. New leadership is emerging that is helping to rekindle the passion and excitement we had when this community was in its infancy. The respect and admiration for Vail's early entrepreneurs is evident as discussions turn to honoring Vail's past, preserving its unique character, taking risks and recognizing that we must never take our success for granted. Being named the No. 1 ski resort in North America this season for the 14th time in 19 years is incredible and a tribute to Vail Resorts and all the residents of Vail. This, coming amid our record redevelopment, provides the perfect backdrop to continue our efforts to keep Vail in the forefront as the premier destination resort, which, in turn, strengthens our commu- nity qualities. There's much work to be done, however, as this Town Council has discovered over the past year. The issues of workforce housing and public parking are among our top priorities. They also reflect the concerns of many community members who participated -in the town's 20/20 strategic planning meetings in August. In 2007 we're committed to adopting new housing regulations that will help us maintain our goal to accommodate 30 percent of our workforce in Vail. The ?regulatioris will apply to both commerci`aI and residential ueveiopment wirn few, if any, exceptions. Also high on our list is a plan for redevelopment of the 10-acre Timber Ridge property owned by the town. Timber Ridge is the largest workforce housing complex in our community with 198 units and is at the end of its life cycle. Through redevelopment, we have an opportunity to design a completely new neighborhood to meet Vail's future needs. We're also committed to finding a solution to add 400 or more public parking spaces to the town's current inventory of 2,500 spaces. Several options are being explored, including redevelopment of the LionsHead parking struc- ture. In addition, Vail Resorts continues to honor its earlier offer to contribute $4.3 million for additional parking in Vail. These are opportunities that must be fully examined. Concerns for the health of our natural environment also are prevalent in the community. As the mountain pine beetle works to transform the forest one lodgepole at a time, the ensuing fire danger is recognized as a public safety issue. Consequently, the town has joined with the U.S. Forest Service in removing diseased trees to create defensible spaces in areas most at risk. We also must use our environ- mental stewardship to work to improve the overall health of the forest for the enjoyment of future generations. Our accomplishments for 2006 are plentiful and are included within this report. These projects range from the purchase of wind power, the delivery of Vail's first hybrid bus, installation of free broadband wireless internet service, creation of the Vail Economic Advisory Council and a renewed partnership with the Vail Recreation District as we finalize a comprehensive parks and recreation master plan. In addition, we're working with Vail Resorts on several projects and issues. We feel a cooperative effort between us will serve the community very well in the future. In looking ahead to the new year, we should take the=advice of the planning experts-from-the-Urban-Land-Institute-who-recently-visited-our-area-Ti.cy . encouraged us to quit studying our issues and just "do it." On behalf of the Vail Town Council, I invite each of you to join us as we look to make significant progress on our community priorities during 2007 that will continue to make us all proud we're here. 6170,,< Rodney Slifer, Mayor Vail State of the Town FINANCIAL OVERVIEW Although it is too early to have final financial information for 2006, the town's amended budget is a good indicator of financial performance for the year. The 2006 amended budget reflects a General Fund surplus for the year of over $1 million based on revenue of $26.9 million and expenditures of $25.9 million. By comparison, the original 2006 budget included $24.4 million in revenue and $24.7 million in expenditures with a resulting use of fund balance of $264,656. Although many factors contributed to the amended numbers, the most significant increases in revenue were due to incremental construction permit fees and plan check fees and the most significant expenditure increases were due to contracted professional services to support the related plan review and inspection processes. Original estimates of parking revenue and ski lift tax were also increased based on actual _ performance through November. The General Fund tracks most of the town's operational expenses. The town's 2006 amended budget also includes $25 million for capital projects with $17.5 million funded from the Capital Projects Fund and $7.5 million funded from the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund. The RETT Fund also supports $1.6 million in operational costs for landscaping, maintenance, project management and administration. Both funds will rely upon accumulated reserves as well as current year revenue to support the budgeted projects. Streetscape projects account for almost 30 percent of 2006 spending from these two funds, a total of $8.2 million of expenditures with $5.9 million from Capital and $2.3 million from RETT. While the General Fund financial results for 2006 are encouraging and fund balances at year-end are healthy, three areas of financial concern have been identified for the long term: ,w The town's ability to provide a premier level of existing and new services with the revenue available from existing sources. nr The town's ability to attract and retain employees in an increasingly competitive market. v The town's ability to continue to maintain and upgrade the town's capital assets with the revenue available from existing sources. The Vail Economic Advisory Council, a citizen panel, was formed during the year to examine trends and to help develop a five-year economic plan. The goal is to create a diverse year-round economy with sustainable revenue sources to meet the town's capital and operational needs. This work is currently in its initial stages. TOWN OF VAIL • STATE OF THE TOWN REPORT An overview of the town's current financial health is presented below: MAJOR REVENUES Sales Tax Sales tax outpaced projections in 2006 with an estimated $17.2 million in collections, up 4.3 percent from the previous high in 2005. These back-to-back records are attributed to a recovering economy, good snow in the 2005-06 season; a late April closing of the mountain in 2006; and the town's ability to mitigate the impacts of construction. Also of note is the relatively strong performance in the LionsHead area during the summer construction season, where sales tax collections were up 7.6 percent from the prior summer. Sales tax is the town's largest single revenue source and is impacted by many variables including the weather, local and international travel conditions and the economy in general.

For example: .?w Sales tax growth has been inconsistent over the past 10 years and has not kept pace with inflation, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), for that period. v Winter collections still account for more than 70 percent of the revenue. •iw The fastest-growing sector for the past three years has been "Utilities and Other," largely as a result of increases in energy prices. " 4, Healthy growth exhibited by the lodging sector during the past three years has not been shared by the retail or food and beverage sector. yr A higher percentage of sales tax is used to support the town's operational budget than the 50-50 funding split outlined in the Town Charter in which half of the revenues are to be directed toward capital improvements. The split in the original 2006 budget was 60 percent General Fund.and 40 percent Capital Projects with a recent revision to 54-46. Any deviation from the 50-50 split requires a super majority vote of the Town Council for approval. The last time the town budgeted a 50-50 sales tax split was prior to 1989. Looking ahead, sales tax projections for 2007 are budgeted to be essentially flat with 2006 at $17.05 million; based upon a more typical snow, year than 2005-06. Real Estate Transfer Tax The one percent Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) is the next largest of the town's revenues after sales tax. In 2006, the tax is expected to generate an estimated $5.5 million. This is down from the record-setting $6.2 million generated in 2005 because several major, redevelopment projects changed ownership in 2005 and this activity was not repeated in 2006. Looking ahead, RETT projections for 2007 are budgeted at $8.2 million, an increase of $2.7 million due to major development projects including the Arrabelle at Vail Square, Forest Place, One Willow Bridge Road, Vail Plaza Hotel and Westhaven Condominiums. Tax about 3.5 percent of the total RETT budget. The Council gave final Sales taxis the Town of Vail's largest single revenue source, accounting for 39 percent approval of the RETT funding change at its first meeting in January. The of the total revenue collections, followed by the Real Estate Transfer Tax at 19 percent. transfer tax has been in place since 1980 and is the fastest growing of the town's revenues due to a combination of the town's Billion Dollar Renewal and a generally strong real estate market.

The 2007 budget directs $250,000 of the $7 million RETT fund expenditure for environmental programs and services, representing ski Ll Property Tax Property taxes in Vail generate just six percent of the town's overall revenue, $2.8 million in 2006 and $2.9 million in 2007. The town's base mil levy of 4.69 mils represents approximately 10 percent of an average Vail taxpayer's property tax with the remainder going to the School District, Eagle County, Colorado Mountain College and other entities. Assessed valuations have increased 3.2 percent for 2007 over 2006, primarily as a result of new construction. Other Major Revenue Sources The town's two public parking structures generate approximately eight percent of total revenue, a projected $3.6 million in 2007. A four percent tax applied to ski area lift tickets generates approximately the same amount as the property tax - six percent of total revenue or $2.9 million in 2007. Construction permit fees, which include building, mechanical, plumbing and electrical permits, have contributed a larger than usual portion of revenues since 2005 because of major redevelopment projects. Revenue from this source is projected at $2.1 million in 2006 and $1.1 million in 2007 and includes the following projects: Arrabelle, Forest Place, Front Door, Gore Creek Place, Manor Vail, Mountain View, One Willow Bridge Road, Sonnenalp, Vail Plaza Hotel and Westhaven Condominiums. TOWN OF VAIL DEBT The town's current debt is $12.1 million and will be paid off by 2012. This debt is low by municipal standards, which has contributed to a favorable credit rating. FUND BALANCES Vail has healthy fund reserves of over $30 million. The General Fund balance of $12.7 million projected for year-end 2006 represents 47 percent of its $26.9 million revenue budget for the current year. The town's stated guideline is to carry a minimum fund balance of 35 percent during redevelopment. The Conference Center Fund will have an estimated balance of $8.5 million by the end of 2006. Use of these funds will be determined by an elec- tion in November 2007. A series of meetings were held last spring to discuss potential uses of the fiinds with community members. No single idea had overwhelming community support at that time. Further input is expected as a result of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the Vail 20120 process currently underway. A timetable and process for developing a ballot question will be determined by the Town Council in early 2007. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF TOWN FACILITIES 4 The Vail Village and LionsHead parking structures provide 2,500 public parking spaces and generate approximately $3.6 million in parking revenue. Rental of office and retail space in the structures generate an additional $95,000. The town is currently evaluating proposals for the possible redevelopment of the LionsHead parking structure which would include expanded parking and new community uses plus hotel rooms and retail space. IN TOW'N' OF VAIL • STATE OF THE TOWN REPORT L 4 Timber Ridge Village Apartments, the 198-unit complex purchased by the town in 2003 to preserve affordable housing, has undergone complete mold remediation and all units will be in service by the end of 2006. Excluding the cost of remediation, which was funded in part by the town, the project began generating positive cash flow from operations in 2006. Timber Ridge Affordable Housing Corporation's outstanding debt is $22 million. Efforts are currently underway to explore redevelopment options for the property that would recover the town's debt and increase the number of workforce housing units on the.site. ,w Donovan Pavilion, the community gathering space completed in fall of 2003, has exceeded projections since its inception. Bookings in 2006 will generate approximately $227,000 of revenue and $211,000 of direct operating expenditures, thereby achieving the town's goal of revenues exceeding expenses.. rr The Visitor Information Centers in Vail Village and LionsHead booked 1,486 room nights totaling $494,202 during the 2005-06 contract year. A Town Council policy decision to eliminate commissions from the centers returned an estimated $75,000 to the lodging community. Approximately 95,000 visitors were served during the annual contract period. The town spent $196,205 in 2006 and has budgeted $198,500 in 2007 to contract with the independent operator Vail Info. Inc. to manage the centers on its behalf. TOURISM & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Economic development initiatives are becoming increasingly important as the town looks to sustain a vibrant economy. Major program areas include the following: 4 Since 2000, Vail has collected a 1.4 percent lodging tax to be used to market Vail during the summer and shoulder seasons, while Vail Resorts, Inc., leads a winter marketing campaign. Guided by the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council 2500 and an annual operating budget of between $1.5 and $1.8 million, the summer marketing program has contributed to increases in sales tax revenue from the lodging segment in each 2000- of the last four summers. v v v v tr Special events are considered to be among the most effective o 1500- of the town's economic development activities.

Since 1988, the town has collected an annual business license fee which generates an estimated $300,000 each year. These revenues are restricted for marketing and promotion of the town's principal industry, tourism, and provide about half of the funding for the special events mentioned above. The town also makes annual contributions to cultural events including Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival, Hot Summer Nights, Street Beat, International Dance Festival and Vail Jazz Foundation. Funding for these events is $242,500 in 2006 and $253,250 in 2007. The town also supports the Air Service Council's program to guarantee flights into Eagle airport, plus the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens . and the highly successful VaiI Farmers' Market. Additionally, the town manager's 2007 budget includes $100,000 for economic development initiatives, $25,000 for construction mitiga- tion programs and $26,000 for staff support of economic vitality. Redevelopment investments have contributed to record breaking construction activity in 2005 and 2006. Once completed, the projects will add 450 new lodging units and an additional 100,000 square feet of retail space. The redevelopment is projected to increase taxes returned to the town by an estimated $2 million annually by the year 2011. ,w The town's $18.5 million investment in streetscape over the past three years provides an attractive venue for guests and residents. MUNICIPAL SERVICES Municipal services account for approximately two-thirds of the town's annual expenditures, with the remainder going to capital expenditures and debt service. To facilitate ongoing redevelopment, temporary staffing and contract resources have been added to the budget each year since 2005. Although the costs related to redevelopment will decrease as major projects are completed, additional operating costs for new services and amenities, such as streetscape heat and the West Vail fire station staffing and operations, are anticipated in the near future. Rising costs of utilities and health insurance as well as the Where the Money Goes Town of Vail Municipal Services 2007 Budget $30.0 Million Contributions, Marketing & Special Events Facilities and Fleet Town Officials nistrative Services Risk Management town's ability to remain competitive in recruiting and retaining personnel ;Development. will put additional pressure on the town's cost structure.

Major projects sourced from the Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund in 2006 and 2007 include streetscape, open space land acquisition, Seibert Circle, Katsos Ranch bike path, forest health management, a skate park, a Timber Ridge/Buffehr Creek road separation, landscape medians in the frontage road near Crossroads, Booth Creek playground and environmental sustainability. While the town spends considerably more on capital improvements than most communities of its size, Vail's list of needed improvements for the next 15 years far exceeds its current ability to pay. The unfunded projects include an underpass near Simba Run, a variety of improvements to the frontage roads, municipal building renovations or replacement, workforce housing, major reconstruction of neighborhood roads, library remodel and improvements to Dobson Arena and the Golf Course Clubhouse, among others. This shortfall has been identified as an important concern by the Town Council. Vail Reinvestment Authority Additional capital funding will be available in future years through the Vail Reinvestment Authority (VRA). VRA is an urban renewal authority with the power to collect incremental property taxes from new construction through tax increment financing (TIF). A TIF district was created in the LionsHead area in 2004; however, significant revenue is not anticipated until 2009 - the year following completion of the Arrabelle. R TOWN OF VAIL 9 STATE OF THE TOWN REPORT Town of Vail Summer Sales Tax Collections 2006 Year-End Review - continued C A private fundraising effort led by local businessman Ron Riley and Alan Kosloff of the Vail Village Homeowners Association helped turn the proposed Seibert Circle project into reality. The men agreed to raise $125,000 toward the cost of a $675,000 fire and water feature for the public plaza. In addition to the private fund-raising, which is nearly complete, $200,000 will be contributed by Vail Resorts' Front Door project. The feature will be constructed in the spring and was designed by the firm whose work includes the Olympic Cauldron for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and the Fountains of Bellagio in Las Vegas. :MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS v With the help of $1.3 million in federal grant money, the town upgraded its transit fleet by replacing six older buses with six new diesels. The delivery completed an eight-year-long effort to ensure all 32 of Vail's in-service buses are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. w Street improvements completed during the year included maintenance overlays on portions of roads in East Vail, plus drainage improvements and an asphalt overlay on Arosa Drive, Davos Trail, Garmisch Drive and a portion of Chamonix Lane. The work also included an asphalt overlay on the South Frontage Road west of the West Vail Roundabout. 4w Customer service improvements were announced in October to help streamline the development review process for smaller projects. The Community Development Department established a one-stop service on Thursdays to expedite project approvals that need only 30 to 60 minutes of review. ,w Renovation of the Bighorn Park playground began during the year. The improvements include shaded seating areas, fencing to separate the play area from the dog park and custom play structures made of beetle-killed lodgepole pines formed into inverted cone structures called "blooms." A community stone that encompasses the handprints of local children sand-blasted into a large boulder salvaged from Gore Creek is also being installed. The art pieces are projects of the town's Art in Public Places program. 4 In addition to the annual return of the goats, additional efforts were activated to control weeds along the town's rights-of-way and recreation paths as well as parks and open areas. The process involved chemical spraying in areas where weeds were out-pacing other management methods. Hand-pulling and clipping of weeds were also done, where possible. i t` - The newly renovated Bighorn Park playground will include a play structure made of beetle-killed lodgepole pines formed into inverted cone structures called "blooms." v Free noise audits were offered to residents impacted by I-70 noise. The property owners received tips on how to reduce noise inside and outside their home, where feasible. The town also produced a companion brochure containing a variety of soundproofing techniques. yr The Vail Library announced availability of new technology services, including downloadable audio books for card holders, the availability of MP3 players for check out and many new ebooks that can be read or printed from computers anywhere in the world. ,w The Vail Ice Dome was sold to eager skating enthusiasts in Cranston, Rhode Island. The inflatable ice facility had previously been used-as a second ice sheet in Vail, but its use was discontinued after three seasons due to expanded ice programs in Eagle and the ongoing costs of setting up and taking down the temporary structure. Efforts to sell the "bubble" had been underway since 2004 following an initial invest- ment of nearly $1 million in 2000. Cranston, a hockey community, predicts its $225,000 investment could pay for itsclf within two years, a win-win for both communities. PEOPLE v The community joined the nation in honoring the life of former President Gerald R. Ford who was a fixture in Vail for nearly four decades. Speaking at a local tribute, Mayor Rod Slifer spoke of the. community's endearing friendship with Vail's "First Family," noting the president's ties to Vail will forever be remembered. v 4 v Twenty citizens were newly-appointed or reappointed to Vail town boards throughout the year: Dick Cleveland, Anne Fehlner-Gunion, Roland Kjesbo and William Pierce to the Planning and Environmental Commission; Mike Dantas, Peter Dunning and Margaret Garvey-Rogers to the Design Review Board; Dorothy Browning and Nancy Sweeney to the Art In Public Places Board; Mark Ristow to the Vail Local Housing Authority; Kaye Ferry and Robert McKown to the Vail President Gerald R. Ford Local Licensing Authority; Ian Arthur, Bob Llewellyn, Laurie Mullen, Beth Slifer and Pam Stenmark 1913 - 2006 to the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council; and Dave Chapin, Meggen Kirkham and Heather Trub to the Commission on Special Events. The Vail Economic Advisory Council was formed with the following citizen volunteers: Mark Gordon and Greg Moffet, Vail Town Council members; Dick Cleveland, Rick Scalpello, Robin Litt and Sally Hanlon, representing the community-at-large; Bill Jensen, COO, of Vail Mountain, representing Vail Resorts, Inc.;.Rob Levine, Pam Stenmark and Mark Cervantes, lodging representatives; Matt Morgan and Steve Kaufman, food and beverage representatives; Tori Franks, Rayla Kundolf, Bob McNichols and Bob Boselli, retail representatives; and Alan Kosloff and M. Joseph McHugh, part-time homeowners. Numerous citizen recognitions were extended during the year. George Lamb was recognized for his 18 years of public service on town boards, most recently with the Planning and Environmental Commission. Outgoing Vail Resorts Chief Operating Officer Adam Aron was honored by the Town Council with a proclamation praising Aron's accomplishments and contributions to the community. Helen Fritch was recognized by the Town Council for her many contributions to the community, including creation of the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens. Proclamations honoring Olympic and ParaOlympic athletes Toby Dawson, Lindsey Kildow, Sarah Schleper, Sandy Dukat and Ralph Green were awarded. Also, Rick Scalpello was recognized by the Town Council for his efforts in organizing and developing the Vail Farmers' Market into one of Vail's most successful events. 4? Receiving recognition by the Colorado Association of Chiefs of Police was Gilda Kaplan, who was named Citizen Volunteer of the Year for her tireless service to the Vail Police Department and community. ,w Town employee Jim Hervert was recognized as the recipient of the Colorado Insurance Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA) Safety Champion Award. Hervert, a heavy equipment operator, was nominated for his demonstrated commitment to safety. 4r' Vail Valley Youth Recognition Awards were presented to Battle Mountain High School student Kimberley Anne Corwin and Vail Mountain School student Leilani Bruntz, each of whom earned $1,000 college scholarships.

What follows are the town's most significant events during 2006: FACILITATING VAIL'S REDEVELOPMENT 4 A three-year trend of record breaking construction activity continued in 2006, with the town issuing $366.8 million in permit valuations by mid- December. The number represents a 49 percent increase over Vail's previous record of $245.5 million set in 2005, which was a 58 percent increase over the record set in 2004. With the record construction activity underway, the town also received welcome news that Vail had been named the No. 1 ski resort by readers of SKI Magazine for the 14th time in 19 years. v v o t e project, now ca e o arcs, wi egin in t e sprang. New cobbled walkways, water features, fire pits and public art pieces .fir The town's review process produced additional redevelopment approvals, including Mountain are included in the Vail Village streetscape finishes which were View, formerly a part of the Apollo Park Lodge, and the Roost Lodge which will be renamed completed a year ahead of schedule. the Timberline Lodge and become a 101-room Marriott Residence Inn. In addition, a new Special Development District to facilitate the redevelopment of The Willows Condominiums was approved. Completion of the Village.Streetscape project at Bridge and Gore topped the list of construction milestones schedule„which allowed crews to begin the first phase of streetscape on East Meadow Drive, also ahead of schedule. Several private projects celebrated completion during the year, including the Tivoli Lodge, the Sonnenalp expansion, Gore Creek Place, Lodge Tower and renovations to Sweet Basil, Alpenrose and La Bottega restaurants. In total, 100 new lodging units and 9,000 square feet of additional retail space came online during the year. Voters went to the polls in record numbers during a special election in July to determine the fate of the proposed Crossroads project. Built in 1968 and long overdue for redevelop- ment, a Special Development District (SDD) for the property had received town approval. However, a citizens' group brought the issue to a public vote after collecting 380 petition signatures. Voters approved the redevelopment by a 70 to 30 percent margin. Construction f h I1dS1 ' 'llb ' : h 4. Vail's Billion Dollar Renewal earned national attention when the town was featured at the annual conference of the American Public Works Association International Congress and Exposition, where Public Works Director Greg Hall and construction coordinators Scott Bluhm and Leonard Sandoval provided an overview of the town's coordination of more than a dozen major public and private construction projects. Vail's tPov-WA unprecedented renewal was also featured in numerous high-profile publications across the country. Regional, national and international groups have sent representatives to see the successes first-hand as Vail continues its reign as North America's top ski resort. . NEW INITIATIVES v Free broadband wireless Internet service was launched through a partnership with CenturyTel. Once installation is complete, the Vail Wi-Fi service will be available most anywhere in town and is thought to be the first of its kind at a North American ski resort. • Vail's first hybrid bus was put into service. If the bus performs favorably, nine additional hybrids will be added over the next four years to bring the total to 10 by 2010. Think Wi•Fi. ,w An Economic Advisory Council was appointed by Town Manager Stan Zemler during the year. Current initiatives of the 18-member group include reviewing the town's sign code and assisting in creation of a five-year strategic plan that coincides with the Vail 20/20 Community Plan. COMMUNITY PLANNING v n9mrp LC-ALWAJI a a? Community workshops were held to mark the beginning of the "Vail 20/20: Focus on the Future" strategic planning process. High on the list of community priorities identified during the August meetings were actions to increase Vail's environmental stewardship, including forest health, renewable energy, recycling and green building standards. Transportation issues also captured the public's attention with suggestions for developing an innovative people-mover system, a request for more public parking and an emphasis on addressing the impacts from I-70. A third priority identified by the community was increasing the supply of employee housing in Vail to sustain the local economy. A diversity of indoor and outdoor recreational amenities, a year- round economy and an increased sense of community were also identified as important priorities. A draft of the strategic plan will be circulated in early 2007, and a public meeting will be held in March 2007 to prioritize actions from the plan. Once adopted the 20/20 plan will serve as the basis for ongoing budgeting A?L and prioritization decisions. vv Master planning processes for West LionsHead and West Vail continued during the year to create a framework for future redevelopment. Both plans have incorporated results from an updated Priorities identified during community transportation study that predicts increases in traffic and travel times. The study lists recommen- workshops in August are helping to shape a long-range action plan for Vail. dations for phased improvements, including the Simba Run underpass and traffic lights and/or The draft plan will be.circulated for roundabouts to facilitate left hand turns onto South Frontage Road. In addition, 400 new public public comment in the coming weeks parking spaces were recommended as well as enhanced transit service. 4 The Town Council joined its counterparts from the Vail Recreation District in jointly funding the development of a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the community. The plan identifies the need for a wide variety of recreation resources and opportunities; the need for clarification of agreements between the two entities; the need for improvements to existing facilities; increased public involvement and feedback regarding recreational funds; increased community awareness and marketing of recreation programs; and a need for improved parking options at recreation facilities. Also identified was a need to improve the Vail Golf Course and Clubhouse and to improve or expand individual recreational offerings in Vail, as well as a need for a wellness/recreation center and a need for an aquatic center/swimming pool facility. The plan will be completed in early 2007. HOUSING INITIATIVES 4 r Workforce housing dominated much of the town's focus during the year. After learning that future development is projected to create 1,395 new jobs, the Council set a goal to house 30 percent of Vail's workforce within the town limits. An emergency ordinance was then passed announcing the Council's intent to adopt new housing regulations, meaning all immediate and future development applications submitted to the town will be subject to the pending regulations in whatever form they are adopted. The Council intends to complete the process on or before April 15, 2007. Currently there are an estimated 9,100 jobs filled by 6,300 employees in Vail, with about 30 percent - `s of those employees living, in Vail. ` ,V In the fall, arrangements were made to remediate the last of the Timber Ridge housing units that had been affected by i9 mold. By mid-December; all 198 units within the town-owned complex had been renovated and occupancy was at 100 percent for the first time in three years. _ After contemplating a redevelopment model for Timber Ridge which would have created a split of 61 percent market rate , - - a, . housing and only 39 percent affordable housing, the Council voted late in the year to formally terminate its relationship Creation of additional workforce with Corum Real Estate Group, which had been selected through a request for proposal (RFP) process to explore a mixed housing through redevelopment Timber Ridge is a Town Council priority. use development for the property. By formally terminating the RFP process, Council members indicated the need to read- dress goals for the property, given its commitment to increase the supply of workforce housing. Possible next steps include an application to create zoning for the site, which will determine density, height and mass characteristics. ,w A one-bedroom unit in the Vail das Schone building was purchased for $295,000 by the town as part of its buy-down program which places a deed-restriction on the property to keep the unit affordable for future buyers. Since 1999, the town has purchased six such units. TOWN OF VAIL • STATE OF THE TOWN REPORT . The project finished one year ahead of A comprehensive: Parks and Recreation Master Plan was initiated during the year which, upon completion, will create a roadmap for facilities and programming upgrades. 2006 Year-End Review - continued r 3 . .t WILDFIRE PROTECTION ,r With the threat of wildfire on the minds of many residents, Vail Fire and Emergency Services continued its work with the U.S. Forest Service to create a defensible space between the town's boundary and the forest. The most visible of the $336,000 in projects occurred in October when a helicopter was used to remove more than 2,100 lodgepole pines from nine acres of town land and seven acres of Forest Service land in the Matterhorn neighborhood. The trees, all casualties of the mountain pine beetle, were cut and removed to reduce the fire danger. Since 2001, the town and the Forest Service have collectively spent $595,000 on forest health projects. The work has included removal of dead trees, regeneration of aspen tree stands and controlled burns in targeted areas. ,w Another step to help protect Vail from the threat of a wildfire is a ban on wood shingles which is being readied for town approval. Proposed text amendments requiring fire-resistant roofing materials have been reviewed by the Planning and Environmental Commission which has forwarded its recommendation of support to the Town Council. v' Free "FireWise" inspections were offered to residents throughout the year in which crews from the Fire Department offered tips on creating a defensible space. Property owners taking advantage of the ongoing service add additional protection to the town's wildland-urban interface. PUBLIC SAFETY ,w The euthanization by the Colorado Division of Wildlife of two bears who had been entering homes for their food served as a call to action during the summer with the Town Council exploring stricter ways to regulate the disposal of trash. In July, an emergency ordinance was passed that increased the penalties for violators by removing a provision requiring warnings to be issued to first-time offenders.
