Memo Vail Childcare Provider Updates
October 1, 2019 - Page 4 of 84
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: October 1, 2019
SUBJECT: Childcare Provider presentations
I. SUMMARY
During the September 3rd Draft Budget presentation, Town Council requested a brief update
from the two childcare providers in Vail.
II. BACKGROUND
Eagle Valley Childcare Association manages the Vail Child Care Center above City Market.
It was founded in response to the vast need for early childhood services for working families and
is the only infant care provider in Vail. Town of Vail, as a part of the original development
agreement, established the space used for the childcare center. The town provides annual
support of approximately $55,000 (2020 proposed), which in turn ensures the availability of
infant care in the Vail community. In addition, EVCCA provides priority waitlist and a discount to
town employees.
The Children’s Garden of Learning (CGOL) is located in a building owned by the Town of
Vail, as part of the development agreement for Middle Creek Housing. The town leases the
space to the CGOL at $1 per year, and provides snow plowing in-kind services. Over the last
several years the town has also approved capital requests such as new boilers and fencing.
The lease is up for renewal October 31st. CGOL has recommended that the town include a
prioritization for town employees within the lease.
III. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Both childcare organizations have requested funding in the proposed 2020 Town Manager’s
budget under the “Council Contributions” process. On September 3rd, Town Council had
suggested incorporating town support as an operating expenditure in future budgets rather than
asking the organizations to request funding each year as a “contribution”. Does Council wish
to change the current process of funding?

To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Vail Guest Experience Advisory Group (Town of Vail and Vail Mountain)
Date: October 1, 2019
Subject: Town of Vail and Vail Mountain Guest Experience Initiatives Update
1. SUMMARY
The planning committee for the Town of Vail and Vail Mountain Guest Experience Initiative
is poised to launch the first phase of programming. The presentation from the group will first
highlight the Early Season Guest Experience, which includes Vail Mountain’s Snowmaking
Project, Thanksgiving Week Reimagined, and Vail Après. The group will then provide an
update on the Community Guest Service Training and the Employee Engagement
programming, finishing with the communications plan.
2. ACTION REQUESTED
The Town Council is asked to provide any final feedback about the schedule, content, and
community launch of each component of the initiative.
3. BACKGROUND
The Guest Experience collaboration between the Town and Vail Mountain identified a series
of far-reaching partner initiatives that will form the foundation for ongoing resort-community
programs and activities. The goal is to align town and mountain to provide a world-class
experience for our collective vacationing guests and progress the tourism economy forward,
focusing first on the winter season with year-round implementation to follow. Since the
August 2018 Town Council and Vail Resorts retreat, the Vail Guest Experience
Collaborative Advisory Committee (Patty McKenny, Suzanne Silverthorn, Mia Vlaar, Yann
Benjamin and Kristin Kenney Williams) has met weekly to create, alongside Alison Wadey,
Krista Miller and Jen Law, a customer service training program, an employee engagement
curriculum, and a strategy to create new traditions to bolster the early winter season period
and re-imagine the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving Week Reimagined: A celebration of early season November 22nd-30th, 2019
The goal of the reimagined Thanksgiving is to create guest experiences featuring early
season traditions to ensure strong visitation year-over-year, both on- and off-mountain. The
2019 event is intended to create a first year foundation upon which to build the brand, the
concept and the activation. The components of the 2019 celebration include:
• Ice Skating Events (Arrabelle and Solaris)
• Music in the Garden: music and sculpture lighting at the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens
• The Lighting of Vail – Sculptures, Trees, and Merchants culminating with holiday tree
• Gingerbread House Competition in hotels and lodges
• Holiday Cuisine Cooking Classes for all ages featuring early winter specialties
• 10th Mountain Parade to commemorate and celebrate Vail’s Legacy
• Vail Festive European Market: Roasted nuts, Gluhwein, forged Bells
The committee commissioned Markit Creative agency to present ideas on the naming and
brand for the reimagined Thanksgiving and through a deliberate selection process came to a
name to reflect the concept, Revely Vail…..Vail’s Welcome to the Brilliance of Winter.
Revely is inspired by the references, phonetic and literal of the words Reveille, Revelry, and
Revel, each signifying a start, beginning, and also having association to celebration by
dance and festivities. Revely Vail – is our start to winter, celebrated by on and off-mountain
experiences and festivities, and symbolic of a season of brilliance.
Vail Apres - A New Tradition
The goal of Vail Après is to celebrate Vail’s European alpine heritage with a unique and
ownable resort ritual that enhances the village experience and creates an emotional
connection with our guests. A daily ringing of the bells at 3pm will announce the beginning of
Vail Après. While bells ring across Vail Mountain the clock towers and bells in the villages
will chime in unison, celebrating the legacy of Vail and symbolizing the beginning of an
elevated Vail Après experience. The committee is initiating Vail Après with a two phased
approach:
Community Enablement
• Coordination with community on landmark bell structures
• Three standard bell specs at discounted pricing with Vail Logo
• Scalable solution with single vendor and standardized ordering process
• Vail Mountain team adoption with ~65 locations
Community Support & Awareness
• Vision statement & purpose
• Merchant recommendations and ideation
• Vail.com content curation & promotion
• Partner communication plan

Community Guest Service Training: Content & Curriculum
The goal of the customer service training program is to create a seamless community-wide
guest experience by training all employees in the town in a common philosophy, language
and manner to interact with our guests. Employees will learn how to connect with guest
emotions to enhance guest service, while trainers share tips and tools to engage the guest
to create a lasting impression. The committee agreed it was critical to brand the Guest
Experience training and so engaged Markit Creative to identify a Program Name, Logo &
Branding.
Guest Service Curriculum (October - January)
• Train the Trainer Sessions
• Collaboration with VCBA on an integrated calendar of programs
• Re-branding and content revisions
Employee Engagement Programming (October - March)
The goal of the employee engagement program is to draw upon the foundational work of the
Vail Chamber and Business Association’s ambassador program, which supports and
encourage community among employees, focusing on education, social opportunities and
employee recognition and rewards.
• Employee education – Community Tour & Vail History Seminar
• Employee social events
• Recognition program
Community Awareness Campaign
The goal of the communications plan is to raise awareness and encourage engagement with
each element of the Guest Service Initiative. The initial phase focuses on community
awareness and includes:
• Press Release
• Partner communication outlets – VCBA, TOV, Vail Mtn, etc.
• Paid placements – Newspaper and Radio
• VEAC & VLMD Sessions
• Annual meetings & season kick-offs

TOWN OF VAIL SIGNATURE EVENT
EXPOSURE
The Mountain Games is revered by the Outdoor Industry, Resort Industry and Adventure Sports world as the
most accomplished event of its kind, with crossover appeal as evidenced by mainstream PR coverage. It has
helped Vail establish itself as a center of outdoor recreation not just in the winter, but in the summer as well. The
imagery, content and media coverage resulting from GMGG showcases Vail as a premium hub of outdoor
recreation
HIGHLY REGARDED EVENT IN THE OUTDOOR, RESORT & ADVENTURE SPORT INDUSTRIES
With Vail integrated into the overall event mark, Vail reaps the global media exposure that the GoPro Mountain
Games produce to the tune of billions of meaningful impressions over the years. The only other partner who sees
equal exposure is GoPro, our title sponsor through 2021, who invests between $600,000 & $800,000 annually
across sponsorship fee, activation costs, and marketing efforts.
GLOBAL MEDIA REACH

For 2020, VVF is working on the following changes, additions and improvements: The Golden Peak venue and
possible return of free ride MTB, adjustments to the climbing competition, cause related efforts, continued focus on
appropriate music/entertainment programming, global growth, added kids/family activities, a limited and elevated
VIP opportunity for key partners.
INCREASED FUNDING REQUEST
CONTINUED GROWTH / NEW OPPORTUNITIES
CONTINUOUS EVENT & EXPERIENCE IMPROVEMENTS
In order to continuously improve the project and keep it at the forefront of Adventure Sports and Mountain
lifestyle, costs are continuously increasing. VVF has kept the project free to attend and prefers it remain that way,
making funding from sponsors/partners critical to fund the $3 million dollar overall GMG operating budget.
STEADY GROWTH FOR 18 YEARS
CONTENT
Multiple lead up marketing & content campaigns starting in January as well as post event recap content and a
professionally produced TV Show generate millions of impressions year round for Vail. As one example, the Ultimate
Mountain Dog contest generated 5.7M impressions from March through May 2019. Growing our content engagement
and impressions via key partnerships and paid media initiatives is a key objective and one that highly benefits TOV.
MORE THAN A FOUR DAY EVENT
QUALITY VS QUANTITY & EXTENDED STAYS
Mountain Games brings a very attractive guest to Vail and VVF continually keeps this in mind when booking
music/entertainment & competition programming as well as with the sponsors we align with. We see an opportunity
for growth on Thursday & Sunday, generating longer stays and more economic impact for the Town of Vail.
FOCUS ON STORYTELLING
The stories & characters that come out of the event help generate significant media and content value. VVF sees
PR/Storytelling as a key objective for continued content and media growth.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH
While the Vail Valley Foundation is and always will be
the primary nonprofit beneficiary of the Mountain
Games, we are speaking to other regional
organizations about a Mental Health Focused
Mountain Games event/activity/benefit concert in
2020.
Additional kids demo and competition
opportunities. For 2020, we are exploring a more
robust youth climbing competition which we hope
to implement in 2020 or 2021 as well as additional
youth waves to applicable events.
Create unique global partnership to showcase
Mountain Games content.
With the departure of all dog events to Lionshead two years
ago, Golden Peak is a venue that we see as an opportunity.
We are exploring numerous ideas as to how we can make
Golden Peak a more dynamic venue.
Continued expansion of live music throughout the day on
numerous small stages, leading into the nightly headliner
concerts at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater.

Description
Recommendation for Housing Fund Allocation Memorandum
October 1, 2019 - Page 48 of 84
To: Vail Town Council
From: George Ruther, Housing Director
Date: October 1, 2019
Subject: Recommendation for Housing Fund Allocation
1. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to forward a recommendation and seek authorization from
the Vail Town Council to reinvest certain existing and projected town revenues into the Town’s
Housing Fund.
2. BACKGROUND
In 2018, the Town of Vail initiated an organizational restructuring which resulted in the creation
of a stand alone Housing Department. Prior to this restructuring the responsibilities for
addressing the housing needs of the Vail community was under the umbrella of the Town’s
Community Development Department.
A Housing Fund was established to fund the operations and programs of the new Housing
Department. The majority of the funds required were reallocated from the existing Community
Development Department budget, though additional funds were added to further support
housing programs. The 2019 Total Housing Department Budget, including funding for the Vail
InDEED Program is $8,246,766 (i.e., Solar Vail agreement, housing mitigation funds, buydown)
Sources of funding for housing initiatives and programs have been an ongoing challenge in
addressing the housing needs in the Vail community. To that end, the Vail Town Council has
identified implementing a permanent, predictable, and long term source of funding for housing
as a critical action if the Town of Vail is to realize its housing goal. With that in mind, most
recently, the Vail Town Council authorized the sale of its interest in the town-owned commercial
space in Phase V of the Vail Village Inn as well as instructed staff to take the steps necessary to
facilitate the sale of a vacant, developable parcel of land within the Chamonix Vail
neighborhood. In doing so, the intent was for the net proceeds from these sales to help fund
future housing programs and initiatives. The understanding being that the town was not
dissolving its interest in real estate per se, but instead, reallocating its interest from commercial
real estate and vacant land to residential real estate. Over the years the Town has successfully
demonstrated its compelling public benefit in owning residential real estate for the specific
purpose of increasing housing stock for local residents and employees.
October 1, 2019 - Page 49 of 84
3. RECOMMENDATION
The Town staff recommends the Vail Town Council instructs town staff to allocate the net real
estate sales proceeds to the Town’s Housing Fund. This allocation supports the Town’s historic
policy of not dissolving its interest in real estate in general and provides a temporary source of
funding for housing programs and initiatives.
The Town staff further recommends that the net proceeds received from the prior sale of
Commercial Unit #2, Vail Village Inn, Phase V and any future proceeds received from the sale
of the vacant parcel at Chamonix Vail be allocated to the Town’s Housing Fund with the
understanding that said funds shall be used to acquire net new deed restrictions in furtherance
of the Town’s housing goal. Given the specific use of the funds, it is further recommended that
any remaining fund balance at the end of 2019 rollover into 2020. The rollover is only
applicable to the Housing Fund.
4. ACTION REQUESTED
Does the Vail Town Council support the recommendation to allocate the net proceeds
received of $1,525,000 from the sale of Commercial Unit #2, Vail Village Inn, Phase V and
any future proceeds received (est +/- $900K) from the sale of the vacant parcel at
Chamonix Vail neighborhood to the Town’s Housing Fund? If so, staff will include the
appropriation in the upcoming budget supplemental scheduled for December.
Does the Vail Town Council support the recommendation to adopt a permanent Housing
Fund Reinvestment Policy which would allocate all proceeds of future sales of town-
owned real estate to the Housing Fund?

2.Main Agenda
2.1.A request for the review of a variance from Section 12-14-17, Setback from
Watercourse, Vail Town Code, in accordance with the provisions of Section
12-17, Variances, Vail Town Code, to allow for the on-site relocation of a
natural seasonal stream channel, located at 5002 Snowshoe Lane/Lot 23,
Vail Meadows Filing 1, and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C19-
0042)
20 min.
Applicant:Peregrine Group Development L L C, represented by Krueger
Architecture
Planner:J onathan Spence
1. Approval of this variance is contingent upon the applicant obtaining
Town of Vail design review approval for this proposal.
2. Prior to submitting for a building permit, the applicant shall provide the
Community Development Department all required approvals from the
US Army Corps of Engineers (US A C E) related to the project, to be
reviewed and approved by the Town Engineer.
Planner Spence: I ntroduced the project by showing its location and
describing previous approvals. The applicant observed a small seasonal
stream after project approval, which was not previously known. The variance
process helped to create a plan for this development that is supported by the
Public W orks department and Environmental Sustainability department.
Chairman Stockmar: Clarified the difference between watercourses
identified by the Town and a seasonal stream.
Spence: Stated that these seasonal streams are not identified by the town.
Pavan Krueger: W orked with Kathy of C E RE S and S GM to understand the
landscaping and water flows on site. The capacity of the waterway may
increase to 1.5x its current size through this design. After this variance, the
applicant will have to work with the Army Corps of Engineers for this
mitigation. There may have been an informal diversion for this stream at one
point.
Stockmar: I s this stream itself a diversion from its original course?
Krueger: Stated it was likely, but there is no record of when this might have
happened.
October 1, 2019 - Page 60 of 84
Commissioner Hopkins: Asked where the proposed diversion will go.
Krueger: The stream will be moved into the side setback and will be directed
to a culvert under the driveway. I t will exit into the neighbor ’s property.
Stockmar: Asked if there would be any increase of flow.
Krueger: Stated there would be none.
Commissioner Perez: Asked if the neighbor was notified.
Planner Neubecker: Stated the neighbor to the north had received the
notice, and they came into the Community Development department to ask
about the variance. He stated that the neighbor was in support, as long as
the stream enters the neighbor ’s property in the same location.
Krueger: They will not be creating a concrete culvert, but it will be a rock-
lined channel. I t will be better than the existing culvert. She stated they will
also do drainage studies.
Public Comment: None
Commissioner Kjesbo: I n support, felt that this was the right way to deal with
this situation.
Commissioner Gillette: I n support, warned about paying attention to
maintenance.
The remaining commissioners stated that they agreed with the variance.

language removed form codes or moved.

2.3.A request for a recommendation to the Vail Town Council, pursuant to
Section 12-3-7, Amendment, Vail Town Code, for prescribed regulations
amendments to Title 12, Zoning Regulations, and Title 14, Development
Standards, Vail Town Code, to amend the regulations on building design and
landscaping in the W ildland Urban I nterface to reduce the risk of wildfire,
and setting forth details in regard thereto. (P E C18-0035)
45 min.
Applicant:Town of Vail
Planner:Chris Neubecker
Planner Neubecker: I ntroduced the application by talking about the changes
requested by the Commission at the previous meeting, and how changes
were incorporated into the amendment proposal. These included changing
some “shall” language to “should,” consistent lowercase use of “the town,”
and changing “occupants” to “tenants.” Asked for any direct questions or
feedback from the Commission.
Commissioner Hopkins: Asked how this regulation might apply to
condominium association exterior renovations.
Paul Cada: Answered by stating that they wanted to start with an amendment
that would help push the town at the right direction. Wanted to start with new
construction and additions. Even at this level they feel that this pushes the
town in the right direction.
Neubecker: Stated that a lot of new construction in Vail is already using
these noncombustible materials, with heavy timbers and other materials that
meet this regulation. Rather than proposing a regulation that is heavy
handed, we are starting with regulations that can be supported by the
community.
Chairman Stockmar: Stated that the impression he had been getting is that
while spacing is important, using the right materials for building is key for
preventing fire from spreading in town.
Commissioner Gillette: Stated that it’s hard to find materials that you couldn’t
use from the materials list. I t might have been easier to tell what someone
what they can’t use instead of what they can.
Hopkins: Asked about the 100 foot radius, regarding defensible space. I s
that for trees?
Gillette: Stated that Commissioner Kjesbo had previously asked about the
recommendation to trim the first 8 feet of trees at the last meeting, and this
had not been addressed. Code still says “should” not “shall”. Has concerns
about meeting code when new trees are planed at time of permit issuance.
Cada: Stated that the intent is to have this rule apply only to mature trees,
not newly planted trees. He explained the language in the landscaping guide,
which is geared toward trimming established trees.
October 1, 2019 - Page 62 of 84
Gillette: Pointing to Section 14-10-8, wanted clarification for the
recommendation to trim the first 8 feet or to trim one-third or less of the tree.
Then pointed to a picture that is listed as an example of good compliant
landscaping, and showed that one of the trees was not pruned in the picture.
He stated that the landscaping looks good because it is out of proposed
compliance. He is worried about requiring applicants to trim 2 feet of
branches off of a new 6 foot tree.
Cada: Stated that the intention is, as written, to only apply this provision for
established trees.
Stockmar: Stated that the referenced guidelines are not law as they can be
changed by the Fire Department without P E C approval.
Chief Novak: Clarified that this gives the Fire Department the ability to make
a determination on whether a tree should be pruned based on the
surrounding landscaping. A tree over an irrigated lawn would need less
trimming than a tree over high bushes or shrubs.
Gillette: W orried that this trimming based on context would result in removing
screening. Also, mentioned the issue of many trees being on a property line.
Stockmar: This puts a lot of burden on the Fire department and wants to
make sure the department has capacity for this.
Cada: Stated that they already do a lot of this review. Planning already does
landscaping inspections, so they can do the final review that includes the
Fire department requirements.
Novak: Stated that changes to landscaping standards do not go to Town
Council. Talked about an example where the standards were amended
administratively for streamside landscaping.
Perez: Clarified that these guidelines may change depending on
circumstance.
Gillette: Stated he had a problem with this. Does this mean that today we are
talking about whatever guidelines get put in place at any given time in the
future?
Neubecker: Yes
Gillette: Stated he was not comfortable with this and he couldn’t vote for
something if he didn’t even know what it is.
Neubecker: Mentioned that if Gillette is not comfortable with these
regulations, in this form, he could vote against it. Also, he could make a
recommendation that something in the regulations be changed.
Gillette: W anted the current guidelines to be codified and they can be
amended as needed. Wants to incorporate the guidelines by name and date.
Kjesbo: Asked a question clarifying when and where these guidelines would
apply.
No public comment.

Avon is considering waiving 1% of transfer tax if owners rent long term vs short term.
The subcommittee wanted to see some ideas how the Town can be creative with
incentives ideas. Minturn has a set amount to credit and must have lived in Minturn for a
year prior to short term rental. Wildridge disallows short term rentals via a community
home owner association.
Morales: Use a tier system based on application, number of years renting long term and
receive some sore of incentive.
Lindstrom: Short term rentals are a part of the resort environment.
The Town’s goal is to incentivize long term rentals.
Wilkins will have examples of long term rental vs. short term benefits ready for the
October 3rd subcommittee meeting.

Description
Vail InDeed Update
October 1, 2019 - Page 79 of 84
To: Vail Town Council
From: Vail Local Housing Authority
Date: October 1, 2019
Subject: Vail InDEED Program Fund Balance Update
1. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to share a Vail InDEED Program fund balance update from
the Vail Local Housing Authority with the Vail Town Council.
2. BACKGROUND
The Vail InDEED Program was established through a collaborative effort between the Vail Town
Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority in 2018. Since inception, the program has
resulted in the Town’s acquisition of more than 130 net new deed restrictions within the Town of
Vail and down valley. Total investment to date is approximately $8M of both housing mitigation
and Vail InDEED Program funds.
Through the adoption of the 2019 Town of Vail Budget a total of $2.5M was appropriated to the
Vail InDEED Program. Based upon the number of applications pending and the remaining Vail
InDEED Program fund balance, a number of the current applications and any additional
application requests received in the fourth quarter of 2019 can not be approved due to the lack
of adequate funding.
3. NEXT STEPS
All Vail InDEED applications received at this time have been reviewed by the Vail Local Housing
Authority. The Vail Local Housing Authority has extended deed restriction purchase offers to a
portion of the applicants in an amount not to exceed the adopted $2.5M total fund balance.
Additional offers may be extended by the Authority pending the availability of program funds. In
no instance will offers extended exceed the total fund balance appropriated for 2019 with prior
authorization.
