they have moved forward with booking all venues within the Town of Vail, and are prepared to
accept the $10,000 allocation towards marketing efforts that was apyw ved by the CSE on June
27, subject to the event being held in Vail. The event is scheduled to take place September 1-3,
in a slightly scaled back mode due to the lack of availability of the Dobson Arena. They

Event Final Reports: No actions taken.
• Spring Back to Vail: Jeff Brausch from Highline Sports and Entertainment distributed
an overview and budget recap of the event and opened his comments by announcing that
Ski Magazine has named the event the #1 Ski Party in North America. He stated that the
event's goals are to get people to Vail to spend money and that the. event has exceeded all
expectations. April sales tax is up over 33% (even over the last time that Easter was in
April) and Vail Resorts estimates 150,000 additional visitors over the 12 days due to the
Spring Back to Vail activities. Attendance at the event is conservatively estimated at
about 24,000 people, contributing over $6M in in.,.Q?ental spending. He acknowledged
the difficulties caused by the inability to book the music talent early and stated that they
have already taken steps with Snow Daze to keep this from occurring again. Jeff closed
by stating that we have taken the #1 title from Whistler, and now we have to keep it.
• TEVA Mountain Games: Joe Blair from Untraditional Marketing presented a
PowerPoint overview of the event, noting in particular the extraordinary level of media
coverage generated by the event and stated that they have been successful in achieving all
of the goals set for the event which include:
o Build the largest outdoor adventure event in the country
o Bring energy to the Town of Vail during an otherwise slow period
• o Assist TEVA in building brand recognition for their kayaking and rafting
products
o Build a positive business atmosphere for outdoor retailers and manufacturers
Joe stated that they are excited that the Town Council has given approval for the
development of new "adjustable" features in the Whitewater Park. Additionally, TEVA
has signed another 3 year sponsorship agreement, Prana has come on board as a partner
in the climbing divisions and most other partners have resigned. Untraditional Marketing
has some concerns with the loss of the Crossroads venue during the redevel.a,.uent phase
and noted that they will be seeking an alternative site for the climbing activities. Stephen
Connolly requested that a actual event budget be submitted.
• King of the Mountain Volleyball: Moved to the August agenda at the request of Leon
Fell.
Event Debrief/America Days: Laurie Asmussen nzt...Yted that Western Entz-F-ses had
scheduled 300 fireworks shows on July 4, and ours was one of only 3 that was cancelled.
Although labor costs for set-up and tear-down of the event will not be recoverable, the shells are
now in storage in Oklahoma and can be used to augment the New Year's Eve display.
Approve 2007 Funding Request Presentation for Council: CSE members discussed the draft
proposal of the budget request and recommended changes. Sybill will e-mail a draft to all
members for comments and will submit the final document to the Town on Friday.
• New Business: CSE members at,t„.ved by consensus the following suggestions from Diane
Moudy with regard to the Buskers in Lionshead:
CSE/srn . Minutes: 07/25/2006 Page 2 of 3
• Use the roving Buskers within the Arts Festival venue to entice people to go further into
the mall. The stationary performances will remain within the mall area.
• Change the Busker schedule from Thursday afternoons to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to
2:00 p.m, due to the small number of people wandering in the mall midweek. This will
only affect the first 2 weeks in August, as after that time the schedule only includes
Friday and Saturday afternoons.
Motion to adjourn at 11:30 a.m.

AGENDA:
Chairman Dave Chapin called the meeting to order at 9:05 a.m.
Motion to approve the-minutes of the meeting of May 23, 2006 and of the special meeting of
June 19, 2006, as presented.
MIS/P: Stephen Connolly, Clint Huber, Unanimous
Coordinator Report: Sybill reminded the CSE members of the Town of Vail Barbeque at
Donovan Park from 11:30-1:30 today and presented the following information:
• Financial Report: Sybill reviewed the ,jp.,adsheet outlining the current status of the 2006
budget, which presently shows $1750 in unallocated funds, not including the $30,000
which has been returned to the account due to the Taste of Vail/Summer cancellation.
• A recap of the decision made at the Special Meeting on June 19 to rescind funding for
the Taste of Vail/Summer event and events leading up to the cancellation of the event in
2006. This circumstance adds $30,000 to the unallocated funds balance.
• Approve an amendment to the contract with the Town of Avon to release the CSE's
$8000 allocation of Town of Vail funds directly to Premier Event Management for the
purpose of managing the Avon to Vail Triathlon. This item was withdrawn, as Sybill
reported that the event will likely be cancelled for 2006. She informed the.CSE that she
and Danita Chirichillo, Town of Avon Event Coordinator, had met yesterday with Bill
Burke of Premier Event Management and that he had ,Ajy,,essed concerns about
producing a successful event within the limited time remaining, especially given the
complexity of a point to point race with two transition areas, as well as the fact that little
promotion has been put forward and therefore there are no registrations to date. Danita
will recommend to the Town of Avon manager's office that the 2006 event be cancelled.
• Convergence Festival: Sybill distributed an e-mail update received from John Zaring on
Monday, June 26, outlining their progress to date. Although no title sponsor has yet been
committed, John remains optimistic and has received endorsements from several key
companies and individuals.
Event Final Reports: Vail Valley Foundation
The Session: Terry Brady distributed an overview of both The Session and the American Ski
Classic and stated that the attendance at The Session had increased to almost 15,000 people,
primarily due to excellent up-front promotion, exposure on the Salomon web-site, Trans World
Magazine coverage and Front Range advertising. The bigger venue featured a slope style course
CSE/sn Minutes: 06/27/2006 Page 1 of 5
that competitors rated the best in the US this year. He emphasized that in addition to the
significant media exposure for the Vail brand on both OLN and RSN, the local economic
benefits are ,L.,..g, in large part because all of the athletes pay for their own lodging.
Stating that snowboarding is stepping into the mainstream culture with the Olympic
awareness of Shaun White, he announced that next year the event will be held Thursday-Monday
of Martin Luther King weekend, and will be taking a quantum leap forward with a full network
broadcast on NBC on January 21. As a result they will be further upgrading the venue and the
social events in Vail Village and hope to int.6.ate the Town of Vail business community. He
added that there is an opportunity to create a "commercial" for Vail that could be used as part of
the broadcast and emphasized that this is a very significant promotional opportunity.
American Ski Classic: Citing the event as a "traditional celebration of skiing," Terry Brady
reviewed the highlights of this year's event which featured the Gin Blossoms in concert at Gold
Peak with over 3500 attendees. He noted that next year will be the 25'h anniversary of the Ski
Classic and that they hope to be able to honor Gerald Ford as a legend of skiing. He stated that
the event has raised over $150,000 for local early childhood education and that media interest in
the event offers strong Vail branding opportunities. He added that the Vail Valley Foundation
"-'has taken steps to make the event more accessible to the community by creating a large "demo"
area where sponsors Y.. vrided give-aways to the public, and that they expect to expand this
successful c., ,onent next year. In closing, Terry stated that the event has a long history, and is
an "iconic" event which c..-L.butes real economic benefits to the community.
Bike event update: John Dakin distributed a handout describing the proposed "2007 Colorado
International Cycle Classic" which the Vail Valley Foundation has been working towards
bringing to the Vail Valley next September 6-9, 2007. RefQ.,...cing the strong legacy of cycling
events within the Vail Valley, including two World Mountain Bike Championships and the
Coors Classic series, he stated that they will be advised this September as to whether the event
will be officially sanctioned by USA Cycling and Union Cycliste Internationale. The plan
includes hosting top professional teams, including some UCI Pro Tour Teams, and he indicated
that there is significant excitement within the sport about the addition of a Yd major road race in
the United States, which would compliment the major tours in California and Georgia. The Vail
Valley Foundation will decide whether to move forward by September 1, and will use the next
couple of months to ascertain the level of financial, community and media support that will be
available and to secure a title sponsor. Terry Brady added that their intent is to create a major
event right out of the blocks. Based on the level of support requested for the '01 World Mountain
Bike Championships, he estimated that the request of support fig,... the Town and the CSE
combined would be in the area of $150,000, plus an additional $25,000 in in-kind support, but he
cautioned that they have not yet formalized their numbers. CSE members asked about whether
the event would recur in 2008 and beyond, and John responded that they are confident that they
will be able to secure the same dates moving on into the future.
Dave Chapin left the meeting at 10:45 a.m., for a previously scheduled commitment.
Lionshead Oktoberfest Venue Update: Bryan Rooney informed the CSE that they have
received permission from Vail Resorts to use the North Day Lot as the main music and game
venue for the event. There will be 4 beer sales sites: 2 up by the stage and 2 within the mall.
Subject to space restrictions and Fire Department at,r.., ,ials, they intend to stage some risers
within the Sundial Plaza for small scale live entertainment, which will be augmented by recorded
music on loops throughout the mall. Food sales within the mall will be limited to Lionshead
businesses due to space constraints, and there will be additional food sales at the main tent. He
CSE/sn Minutes: 06/27/2006 Page 2 of 5
added that there may be some cross-over allowed for the Vail Village event, subject to space
availability.
The hours for the Lionshead event are cu.. Qtly scheduled as follows:
Friday: September 8: 5pm-9pm (last call at 9:45pm)
Saturday, September 9: 11 am-9pm (last call at 9:45pm)
Sunday, S,rt:..Y.ber 10: 12noon- 6pm (last call at 6:45pm)
Vail Film Festival/Final Report: Sean and Scott Cross distributed a final event
- -revenue/;;.yr:,:.wbudget-and list of media exposure to CSE members and then presented a
PowerPoint overview of the event held last spring. They stated that they are very h.,,, ,y and
p..,ad of the event's rapid devek,t,..,ent and recognition as a major film event in the coi....Ly and
stressed that the goal of the festival remains not only the "screening of flics," but to help. aspiring
filmmakers. They reinforced their commitment to remain an advocate for independent films; this
year's festival featured 74 independent films. They added however that the inclusion of a
"studio'*' film (this year "American Dreamz") offers an important Hollywood connection which
enhances the image of the Festival. They pointed out that the music showcase has become an
important component of the event as it helps to create a network with soundtrack creators. In
response to a question regarding the potential closing of most of the theaters within the town,
they responded that this was not a concern, that they had solved the attendance issues and that
their most successful venue this last year was in the Lodge at Vail ballrooms. They stated that
they can accommodate as many attendees as Vail will hold, and stressed that the festival is as
much about sponsorships, partnerships and the film industry as it is the screenings.
Request for Funds/VCBA: Kaye Ferry, r: ,-:renting the Vail Chamber and Business
Association presented a request for funding in the amount of $5,340 to offset their expected
deficit in bringing the Circus Chimera to Ford Park September 8-10. She stated that the VCBA's
role as a sponsor, in exchange for receiving a percentage R.. ticket sales, is to pay the local
costs- the .,.Ld of the fields in Ford Park being the most significant. She described the event as a
"poor man's Cirque de Soleil, " with no "animal stigma," and informed the CSE that the VCBA
has sponsored the circus twice before; and although the attendance was good, the costs are
prohibitive, with the result being that they lost money the first time and broke even the second
time. There was some discussion regarding a potential conflict with Lionshead Oktoberfest on
the same weekend, but there was general consensus that the activities could be complimentary,
creating an additional diversion for families that might encourage them to extend their stay in
town.
? Motion to approve an allocation of $5340 to the Vail Chamber and Business Association
for the purpose of supporting their sponsorship of the Circus Chimera on September 8,
9 and 10, 2006.
US/P: Robert Aikens, Clint Huber, Unanimous
Consideration of event proposals: The CSE is offering up to $30,000 to support a
destination event to be held on a date between Aug. 18 and Sept. 4, 2006. Event promoters
are encouraged to present proposals for consideration. A formalized allocation meeting will
be scheduled within 2 weeks if any of the ideas are considered viable under the CSE's
criteria No formal application is required at this time.
Sybill stated that interest had been ?Al essed from Laurie Asmussen and Jeff with
Highline Sports, but both felt that the time was too short to put together a strong event.
Carlos Caravalho and Jason Field, of Inyodo Martial Arts, then presented their idea to
host Vail's First Annual Festival of Martial Arts over Labor Day weekend, which would bring
CSE/sn Minutes: 06/27/2006 Page 3 of 5
together martial arts experts, students, enthusiasts and their families from all over the country
and provide three days of expert marital art training clinics, seminars, consumer shows and an
open style marital arts invitational championship in the Dobson Arena on Sunday, September 3.
Carlos ref,..,..ced the success of the Ring of Fire, a martial arts event which he produced in
March at the Dobson Arena and will be c F..sing on July 29, as well as the strong local
enrollment in their school and their affiliation with over 20 other martial arts academies in
several su..r.unding states and stated that they are confident that with Vail's prestigious image
and location (high altitude training), they can create a destination event for 600-700 families
whose children are involved in martial arts, even given the short time frame available for
planning and marketing. They estimate that their request will be ary... dinately $11 K, to support
the costs related to the rental of Dobson arena and paying referees.
Diane Moudy informed the CSE that she had been working with the Vail Valley
Foundation and that they had expressed an interest in partnering to create a world music event
with vendors, etc. in the amphitheater. She stated that the risk factor in booking a high level
concert is high, in part because of all of the "free" music that is available within the area and also
because Red Rocks falls within the 100 mile contract clause and both Aspen and Telluride put
blocks on their contracts which prohibit their performers firm... booking additional concerts within
the region. CSE memL:..., felt that a concert in the amphitheater for 3000 people, which would
cater mostly to locals, did not fit the "destination" criteria that they were hoping to achieve, but
that if something larger could be done on the softball fields that might host up to 8000 people,
there would be interest in supporting the idea. Diane stated that the Foundation's primary
interest is filling the amphitheater, and that she could not be sure that they would be interested if
the event were to be held outside it.
Sybill was asked to schedule a meeting on Thursday, July 6 for the CSE to review f....al
applications. Due to the shortness of time for planning and permitting, the CSE agreed to
consider proposals for any time up to the end of September that would meet the "destination"
event criteria. Carlos and Jason were encouraged to submit a formal proposal.
Work Session: Development of the 2007 Funding Request from Council
Elements to consider might include:
• Direct Event Funding
• Determination of events that qualify for multi-year contracts
• Administrative funding
• Surveys and Event Research
• Special Event Handbook
• In-kind services
Ian Anderson highlighted the difficulty presented by the fact that the CSE's budget request is
due in July, but the funding y..,1,osals p.:,..'t seen until later in the fall. There was discussion
regarding the criteria for choosing which events should be offered multi-year contracts and the
pros and cons of doing so. Joe Blair emphasized not under-estimating the weight that the
Town's sponsorship lends to their credibility with other sponsors and the impact of their
requi.:,...ent to please all sponsors in year three. It was agreed that these c.,..L,.cts should be
limited to signature events that the Town of Vail does not "own" or those that might have an
opportunity to move to another community, presently including the TEVA Mountain Games, the
Lacrosse Shootout, Kick-It 3v3 Soccer, the Vail Film Festival and The Session.
CSE members agreed by consensus to include the following items in the proposal:
• Special Event Handbook devel„,,.u.ent
• Event Research and Evaluation
• Itemization of major events and 1,.,jp.sed funding commitment
CSE/sn Minutes: 06/27/2006 Page 4 of 5
• New Events: VVF Bicycle Event and Convergence Festival
• Last year's budget and allocation list
• Incorporate Construction Mitigation funds
• Increase in event allocations in line with the current Town of Vail revenue
projections
New Business:
Sybill informed the CSE of her concerns regarding a number of late permitting
difficulties and last minute requests from the King of the Mountain Volleyball event and stated
that she will follow up with a letter to Leon Fell. CSE members suggested that a category
reflecting permitting and staff impacts be added to the criteria sheet for grading RFP submittals.
Stephen Connolly informed the other CSE members that the Vail Recreation District has
c..L.cted him to perform an evaluation of their facilities. Additionally, he stated that he is
considering submitting a ,..,,,,sal to the CSE to produce the web-based Special Event Handbook
that has been under discussion over the last few months. He added that he has checked with Matt
Mire regarding possible conflict of interest implications, and that Matt's opinion was that this
would be considered an administrative contract which would not be in conflict with the state's
statutes.

Stoughton and Chairman Dave Chapin CSE Member Absent: Richard tenBraak
Others Present. Carlos Caravalho, Jason Field and Sybill Navas
AGENDA:
CSE members will consider funding in an amount up to $30,000 for a destination event to
be scheduled within the time frame from August 18- September 2006. Formal applications
must be submitted to Town of Vail, Commission on Special Events at 75 S Frontage Rd. in
Vail no later than 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 5.
Chairman Dave Chapin called the meeting to order at 9:10 a.m.
. CSE members discussed the application submitted by Inyodo Martial Arts, proposing an
event titled Vail's First Annual Festival of Martial Arts, Sept 1-4, 2006. This was the only
submittal received within the deadline. Jason Field and Carlos Caravalho presented their idea
"to host Vail's' Annual Festival of Martial Arts, bringing together marital arts experts, students,
enthusiasts and their families from all over the country. To provide three days of expertise
martial art training clinics, seminars, consumer shows and an open style martial arts invitational
championship." They stressed that martialarts emphasizes tradition, education, physical skills
development, and a healthy lifestyle for both girls and boys from age 5 up. The purpose of the
event will be a celebration of martial arts and the amenities/activities that Vail has to offer. Both
Carlos and Jason stressed that their affiliations with 25 "sister" schools in several neighboring
states, a student enrollment in Edwards upwards of 250 students and strong connections with
martial arts gyms in Denver and along the Front Range would provide more than enough
enthusiasts to support a successful event, even with the short planning time frame. Vail's athletic
image and high altitude location, as well as it's location in the geographic center of the states
having affiliated schools provide an excellent opportunity to develop a strong annual event that
will attract families with children involved in martial arts schools from Californian, Florida,
Texas, Arizona, Oregon and New Mexico.
The event schedule as proposed would include:
• Friday: 9am- 2pm registration. Dinner and ring style kick-boxing event in the evening.
• - Friday and Saturday: Individual clinics with noted martial arts experts and coaches
• Saturday evening: Premiere of a Martial Arts film, produced by Jason Field
• Sunday: All day tournament
CSE members expressed concern over whether the event could be successfully marketed and
pulled off with only 2 months to plan, and suggested that Carlos and Jason resubmit their
application in the fall for a 2007 event. Jason and Carlos indicated that they would do so, but that
they would still work towards producing a somewhat scaled down version of the event this year.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 by a motion from Robert Aikens, seconded by Stephen
CSE/sn Minutes: Special Meeting 07/06/2006 Pa(Ye 1 of 2
Connolly and passed unanimously. Jason and Carlos left. After a brief conversation, CSE
members agreed by consensus to reconsider their decision and Chairman Dave Chapin
reconvened the meeting at 10:07 a.m. Scott Stoughton spoke convincingly of the passion,
professionalism and experience that Jason and Carlos seem to bring to their concept and stated
that he felt confident that they could pull the event off within the 6 week time frame. He added
that there has been an expansion of interest in martial arts, that it r,,j,.,,sents.a healthy lifestyle
and that the parents are usually of a high income demographic. Ian Anderson added that it is very
much in line with the format of two of Vail's most successful events, the Kick-It 30 Soccer
Tournament and the Vail Lacrosse Shoot-out.
? Motion to allocate $10,000 to Inyodo Martial Arts to be directed towards targeted
marketing for the purpose of generating maximum attendance at Van's First Annual
Festival of Martial Arts, Sept 14, 2006. MIS: Ian Anderson, Robert Aikens. The motion
passed with Dave Chapin, Ian Anderson, Scott Stoughton and Robert Aikens voting in favor.
Clint Huber voted in opposition. Stephen Connolly abstained, citing a potential conflict of
interest, as he intends to submit a t,..I,osal for the remaining dollars in the budget for the
devel.,t,...ent of a 0 quality, web-based "Special Event Handbook, " which has been
discussed by the CSE over the last year.
New Business: Sybill distributed a draft agenda for the upcoming CSE meeting on July 25.

TOV/CSE -6- DRAFT. 2007 Application for Funds
PROPOSAL
Proposal to Produce
An Online Handbook for Special Events in the Town of Vail
July 25, 2006
Background:
There is a need for a comprehensive resource that would help event
organizers with the process of producing events within the Town of Vail.
Such a resource could also serve as a marketing tool to help attract special
events to Vail.
The Commission for Special Events has discussed producing a Special
Events Handbook since May 24, 2005. The idea was explored and
endorsed during the Special Events Approval Process meeting on June 16,
2005. Based on the need identified by the CSE and the endorsement by
SEAP Committee, the handbook was included in the funding request made
to Town Council for 2006 activities. Budgetary constraints ultimately lead
the CSE to fund events and only essential administrative services. Council
endorsed the idea of a Handbook during a presentation by CSE in the
spring of 2006.
Due to several events approved for funding not being produced, there are
currently funds remaining in the 2006 budget. The Handbook project can
now be funded and produced.
Implementation:
The Handbook will be comprised of two major components and titled
"Vail's Special Event Guide & Application". It will be available online and
downloadable from the Town of Vail website. It will contain four color
photography and diagrams in PDF format. Interactive fields will be used
where applicable. The Town will retain all rights pertaining to the
publication.

The Guide portion of the online handbook will contain information on

Connolly. Joanne Morgan Graphic Design will handle layout and graphic
design. Work would begin immediately with a finished-product available
online by the end of the 2006.

Dear Members of the Special Events Commission,
I wanted to thank you for so generously welcoming the Washington
Prep High School Marching Band on July 4th. They were so thrilled
to be in Vail and to experience such a different environment than what
they're used to in South Central Los Angeles.
Your hospitality was wonderful. Thank you for providing them with
the opportunity to be a part of Vail's 4d' of July parade again: It's only
with people like you, that we're able to pull together such a wonderful
visit for them.
On behalf of the Vail Jazz Foundation and the kids from Washington
Prep, thank you for welcoming them and making their stay such a
success. We know this is a life-changing experience for many of them
and we thank you for being an integral part of that!
They'll be coming back again next year, and we'll talk to you about
continuing the tradition.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Robin Litt

Today, the Teva Mountain Games is the country's largest adventure sports, art, and music
festival. From May 31-June 4, you can experience intense competition, thrilling victories,
terrifying crashes, the latest and greatest in outdoor gear, killer live music, dancing until
dawn, spectacular outdoor photography and film, canine craziness, and much, much more.
Despite its exponential growth, we believe the Games still capture the purity and soul of
mountain life. We're proud to give thousands of talented adventure athletes-young and old,
pro and amateur-a place to compete, learn about, and celebrate the outdoors.
Inside these pages you'll find all the details you need to know to make the most of your Teva
Mountain Games experience in Vail. For updated schedules, results, and even more details,

' 2006 Spring Back to Vail Recap Report
TOV Commission on Special Events
The #1 Spring Party in North America - Skiing Magazine
' EVENT OVERVIEW - STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
The overriding goal of 2006 Spring Back to Vail was to get visitors to Vail to spend money
during the typically slow time of April. Overall, the event was a phenomenal success with
' greatly increased skier days, lodge bookings and packed restaurants and shops. In fact, overall
April sales taxes collected for the Town of Vail increased 33.1 %.
• Marketing and PR campaigns were extremely successful - major coverage
• Two National television specials with MTV
• Two free concerts in Vail Village - Cracker and Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
• Three concerts at Ford Park - G. Love, Hoobastank and POD
• Estimated attendance/visitors to Vail during the two weeks of Spring Back to Vail: 150,000
• Apres parties took place on six nights during the week in town. Additional parties and
special promotions, which were not part of the official SBTV schedule, were held in town
after each concert.
• On-mountain events included World Pond Skimming Championships, Malay Day and Mid-
Vail concerts
• 46% of visitors were from out of State
• 17% of visitors were from outside the U.S.
• Skier visits were up over 30% YOY.
• Lift ticket, ski school and mountain dining revenue were all significantly up YOY.
• Even taking Vail Resorts budgeted figures for the year (where Easter is factored into the
equation), Spring Back to Vail drove increases in budgets to actuals with a 37% increase over
expectations.
The primary weakness to Spring Back 2006 was the late nature in which the talent was secured.
Pond tear actually worked out in our favor due to the amazing weather on Sunday.
