AT TAC H ME N TS: Description Community Wide Recycling Program Update Memo Community Wide Recycling Program Update Presentation April 7, 2020 - Page 26 of 184 To: Vail Town Council From: Community Development Department Date: April 7, 2020 Subject: Community Wide Recycling Update I. Purpose This presentation provides an update to the Vail Town Council on the Community Wide Recycling Ordinance adopted in 2014. A brief update on the status of waste diversion in Eagle County is also included. II. Background In support of the Vail Town Council’s value of environmental stewardship and strategic focus on sustainability, the town’s adopted Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan established the following waste diversion goal: Goal #1, Solid Waste Stream Reduction and Recycling, Reduce the amount of Town of Vail landfill contributions by 10% within 5 years and 25% within 10 years (2019). The 2010 baseline studies show area diversion rates as follows: • Town of Vail: 9% (residential) and 19% (commercial) • Eagle County: 14.7% • National Average: 34.5% The 2014 community-wide recycling ordinance added a new chapter to Title 5 of the Vail Town Code establishing the following: 1. Recycling rates embedded with trash hauling rates 2. Residential volume-based pricing (Pay as You Throw) 3. Prohibition on recyclable materials discarded as trash 4. Waste hauler registration and data reporting 5. On-site recycling requirement 6. Equal service rate requirement (residential recycling collected as frequent as trash) April 7, 2020 - Page 27 of 184 Town of Vail Page 2 III. Recycling Program Outreach and Initiatives Since the 201 8 Town Council recycling update, several new outreach efforts and recycling initiatives have been implemented. These include partnering with Vail Honeywagon and Ever Green Zero Waste to offer composting services, implementing a Pay As You Throw small cart exchange program, providing the Business Recycling Challenge, educating Town of Vail staff on recycling, participating in a town clean -up day with Red Sandstone Elementary Students, and commissioning a recycled art installation. • Composting Program: Town of Vail partnered with Vail Honeywagon to offer a residential subscription composting program. Vail Honeywagon and EverG reen Zero Waste also began providing commercial, municipal and special event composting opportunities. In 2019, 350 tons of organic material was diverted from the landfill. • Business Recycling Challenge: In 2018, seven Vail businesses participated in the challenge. Each received a weekly waste audit and worked with Town of Vail and Walking Mountains Science Center staff to identify ways to improve recycling and waste diversion. At the end of the month -long challenge, participating businesses averaged a 57% recycling rate, an 8% increase from the start. • Climate Action Collaborative: Town of Vail has partnered with the Climate Action Collaborative Materials Management Task Force for county- wide waste diversion initiatives including deployment of the Waste Wizard app, promotion of the bi-annual recycling education campaigns, and efforts to improve construction and demolition diversion. April 7, 2020 - Page 28 of 184 Town of Vail Page 3 • Education and Outreach: Recycling education to Town of Vail staff ramped up in 2019 with recycling presentations to parking and library staff, and a field trip with 18 town employees to the Eagle County HHW, MRF, and Landfill facilities. Town of Vail partnered with Vail Resorts and Vail Honeywagon to provide recycling education and a town clean up event with 80 Red Sandstone Elementary students. Staff collaborated with Walking Mountains Science Center to co-present on recycling in Eagle County at the November 2019 Lunch with the Locals. Special events like the Spring Hard to Recycle event and America Recycles Day collection events diverted over 14 tons of material in 2019. • Small Cart Exchange Program: Through a Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity (RREO) mini-grant from CDPHE, the town distributed 40 wildlife resistant, 32-gallon trash bins to increase participation in the Pay As You Throw program while reducing the amount of waste entering the landfill. Recipients were given the option of a recycling sticker to repurpose their larger trash carts into a recycling container or to exchange their larger trash cart. The smaller carts in service have the potential to reduce the amount of trash produced by 28 tons annually. • Recycled Art Installation: The Environmental Sustainability Department worked with AIPP to commission a temporary art installation to educate the public about the importance of waste diversion (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as it relates to climate change and impacts on the mountain ecosystem. Artist Jenna Oppenheimer was selected to design and construct a trout and mayfly sculpture built from 100% repurposed materials. April 7, 2020 - Page 29 of 184 Town of Vail Page 4 IV. Community Recycling Rates Recycling rates throughout the Town of Vail have steadily increased since adoption of the 2014 ordinance. In 2019, the Town achieved a combined 25% recycling rate and a 27% recycling rate with compost tonnages factored in (Figure 1). This data includes municipal solid waste (MSW) or material that is collected on regular residential and commercial routes, recycling, and organic material diverted through composting. It does not include materials generated through construction and demolition activities. These numbers are an aggregate of hauler data submittals collected through sampling periods over the course of the year. Collecting data from haulers in 2019 proved to be very difficult for a variety of reasons. Please note that audit data from one hauler was collected four times only during the 4th quarter of the year rather than throughout the year due to operational and staff changes. Therefore, 2019 data is not as representative of the full year as it has been over the past few years. Figure 1. Town of Vail Recycling Rates Residential participation in 2018 was 73% (Figure 2). Data from waste haulers and a set out survey conducted in 2019 indicate residential participation was 83% on average. Participation rates are the number of people setting out both recycling and trash on a given collection week. Data from 2018 indicate multi-family and commercial properties tend to have higher participation rates at 99% and 84% respectively. These data were not provided by haulers in 2019. Figure 2. 201 9 Residential Recycling Participation Rate 83% 17% 2019 TOV Residential Recycling Participation Rate Trash and Recycling Curbside Trash Only *Data from hauler submittals April 7, 2020 - Page 30 of 184 Town of Vail Page 5 2019 Diversion Rates with Construction and Demolition Debris In 2019, construction and demolition debris (C & D) data were available. When factored in with municipal solid waste, the overall diversion rate dropped to 23% (Figure 3). Based on 2019 hauler data, approximately 19% of landfill bound waste from Vail is construction and demolition debris. Currently only 3.7% of all C & D debris created in Vail is diverted from the landfill. Figure 3. 2019 Diversion Rates with Construction and Demolition Municipal Operations Town of Vail municipal operations continue to divert material through single stream recycling, composting, Hard to Recycle events and other waste diversion practices. Data from 2018 and 2019 are included below (Figure 4). Seven percent of all waste diverted in 2019 was due to municipal operations. Figure 4. Municipal Waste Diversion Operations Zero Waste Events The Town of Vail partners with Walking Mountains Science Center to provide Zero Waste services at the weekly Farmer’s Markets throughout the summer. In addition, eight other town events utilized Walking Mountains Science Center to provide Zero Waste services in 2019, including the Burton Open, Taste of Vail, GoPro Mountains Games, and Gourmet on Gore. The average diversion rate for these events in 2019 was 80.4% (Figure 5).

Moving forward the Event Review Committee (ERC) will also require any event receiving funding from the Commission on Special Events to provide Zero Waste services regardless of event size and will require they report waste diversion data during the post event debrief. ERC will also review the current standard for zero waste requirements established in the Celebrate Green events checklist for all other events and tighten the standard to ensure more events are providing Zero Waste services. Figure 5. Zero Waste Diversion Rates for 2019 Events V. Eagle County Update The Climate Action Collaborative’s Materials Management Task Force continues to make progress on waste diversion efforts in Eagle County. They have implemented bi-annual recycling education campaigns to help clarify how to recycle correctly, launched the Waste Wizard app that allows any resident to find out how to best recycle or dispose of any items, and hosted a construction and demolition (C & D) debris roundtable with contractors, haulers, and municipalities to determine how to improve upon diversion of C & D debris from the landfill. The Construction and Demolition Pilot Program at the Eagle County Landfill was initiated in 201 8 and accepts clean dimensional lumbar, concrete with rebar, and concrete without rebar. In 2018, 3,000 tons of material was received, much of which was from the Vail Health construction project. In 2019, 1,500 tons was received. Tipping fees at the C & D site are $15/ton, versus $47.45/ton tipping fee at the landfill. The lower fees are to incentivize use of the site. Eagle County waste diversion and recycling rates peaked in 2015, experienced a decline in the following two years, and showed improvement again in 2018. Recycling and diversion rates for 2019 are not yet available. In 2018, the county was matched with the Town of Vail at a 26% recycling rate, including composting. (Figure 6). In 2019, the Town of Vail increased the recycling rate with organics to 27%. 2019 Zero Waste Event Data Pounds Tons Landfill 12,940.5 6.5 Recycling 34,752.7 17.4 Compost 12,145.8 6.1 2019 Total Collection 59,839.0 29.9 Average Diversion Rate 80.40% April 7, 2020 - Page 32 of 184 Town of Vail Page 7 Figure 6. Eagle County Waste Diversion Rates VI. Discussion The Town of Vail adopted goal of 25% waste reduction by the end of 2019 has been achieved. In 2019, Town of Vail achieved a 27% recycling rate including organics being composted. The 2019 State of Recycling Report indicates that Vail has the third highest recycling rate of Colorado mountain communities, behind Durango and Aspen. The Town of Vail is well ahead of the statewide recycling rate of 17.2%; however, underperforming when compared to the national recycling rate of 35%. As a national and global leader in sustainability, the Town of Vail should match or surpass the national average. Currently, the 2009 Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan is in the process of being updated and more ambitious zero-waste goals are being discussed by the community. In order to continue improving upon our current recycling rate and to achieve future zero waste goals, additional work is required. Outlined below are initiatives the Environmental Sustainability Department is planning to implement in 2020, followed by other initiatives for Town Council to discuss and consider. Currently Planned Initiatives for 2020: A. Dedicated annual funding for waste reduction education In 2020, Staff plans to re-invigorate the Love Vail recycling and waste reduction campaign and provide outreach and materials to residents, visitors, and businesses. With the assistance of summer interns, the Environmental Sustainability Department will take inventory of residential, multi-family, and commercial recycling compliance and provide hangtags to identify how entities can improve recycling and reduce April 7, 2020 - Page 33 of 184 Town of Vail Page 8 contamination. Additional outreach will be provided to identified entities experiencing challenges with recycling. B. Curbside compost pilot program Based on the 2017 Northwest Colorado Waste Diversion Study, 37% of all waste entering the Eagle County Landfill is comprised of organics, 30% of which is food waste. Anaerobic decomposition of organic material in a landfill contributes to the release of methane gas, which is approximately 84% more potent of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. Diverting organics from the landfill through composting is one critical step to increasing waste diversion while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Eagle County Climate Action Plan, which is supported by Town of Vail, aims to reduce organics from the landfill 30% by 2030. In 2019, composted organics comprised 2% of waste diverted from the landfill in Vail, which helped increase the recycling rate from 25% to 27%. Implementation of a curbside compost pilot program in 2020 will provide insight into the effectiveness of curbside composting in Vail and inform potential composting requirements or incentives to residents and businesses. C. Improve Celebrate Green zero waste requirements and infrastructure As outlined above, the Event Review Committee will make Zero Waste requirements more stringent at events in Vail as well update resources for event producers to aid in compliance. In addition, the Economic Development and Environmental Sustainability departments have been collaborating to identify options to incorporate a mobile washing station at events. This would allow durable service-ware to be employed rather than single use items. Staff has been in communication with Reduce Waste Solutions, a promising entrepreneurial business working to research, design, and secure capital for a mobile washing station that would fit the needs of Vail and Eagle County events. D. Consistent trash and recycling labels/signage across Eagle County The Eagle County Climate Action Collaborative’s Materials Management Task Force is working on consistent labeling for all trash and recycling receptacles utilizing Recycle Across America labels. Recycle Across America labels are simple and have shown to be effective around the United States on improving recycling rates and decreasing contamination in public areas. Town of Vail can consider updating signage on trash and recycling receptacles throughout town to utilize Recycle Across America signage. Eagle County and Edwards have currently adopted this signage and other local communities are considering it. Staff is currently investigating cost and potential effectiveness of this initiative in helping achieve waste diversion goals. E. Continue monitoring state legislation The Town of Vail supported the 2020 bill to remove the state-wide pre -emption on plastic bans, allowing for consideration of bans on single-use plastics and polystyrene. The bill was not passed out of committee but may return in the future. At that time, staff will consider pursuing discussions on bans on single use plastics, including polystyrene. For Council Discussion and Consideration: While these efforts will help improve the town’s recycling rate, additional measures must be considered in order to really move the needle on waste diversion efforts, allowing Vail to move forward as a national leader in waste diversion. The Environmental Sustainability Department is seeking Town Council direction on the following: F. Increased enforcement of current regulations April 7, 2020 - Page 34 of 184 Town of Vail Page 9 Since the implementation of the recycling ordinance in 2014, little enforcement has occurred beyond outreach and one on one discussions with businesses not in compliance. As currently written the ordinance can be enforced with a court summons and determination by the Judge. Providing warnings, court summons, and potential fines up to $1,000 to residents and businesses will send a message that the Town of Vail takes waste diversion seriously and will improve participation rates and compliance. Ideally, enforcement will mirror that related to wildlife resistant canister compliance efforts. G. Construction and demolition waste diversion standards Based on the 2017 Northwest Colorado Waste Diversion Study, approximately 13% of all waste entering the landfill is construction and demolition debris (C & D). Vail’s average is higher with approximately 19% of landfill bound waste being comprised of C & D debris (based on 2019 hauler data). Currently, only 3.7% of all C & D debris created in Vail is diverted from the landfill. Given the new C & D recycling site at the landfill, there is an opportunity to divert additional waste from the landfill. If amenable by Council, Staff will return with additional information on C&D waste diversion standards for construction projects in the Town of Vail. H. Single Hauler Municipal Contract Staff requests Town Council consider the option of adopting a single hauler municipal contract. Currently, there is an open market for waste hauling with requirements through the recycling ordinance under Title 5 of the Town Code in Vail with three waste haulers registering and operating- Vail Honeywagon, Waste Management, and Vail Valley Waste. In the current environment, trash and recycling trucks from these three different companies are on the streets of Vail six days a week servicing residential, multi-family, and commercial entities. Each hauler is required to report data at least bi-annually for all municipal solid waste collected, including recycling broken down by residential and commercial waste. Historically, accurate bi-annual data collection has been a challenge for haulers, so Staff worked with each hauler to allow for data to be submitted through quarterly audits. In 2019, tracking down data from the quarterly data proved to be even more difficult due to operational and staff changes for at least one of three haulers. State legislation allows communities to enable a single hauler system for residential waste services for properties with fewer than eight units. Through this process the town would select one hauler through a Request for Proposals (RFP) procurement process to provide curbside trash, recycling, and potentially compost service. Moving to an organized single hauler system is one effective tool to help communities achieve higher waste diversion goals and is in place in Eagle, Minturn, Carbondale, Rifle, New Castle, Fruita, Telluride, Louisville, Superior, Manitou Springs, Golden, and several more. Studies support that organized single hauler systems often result in positive outcomes, including: Environmental Impact • Increased residential waste diversion and recycling rates on average of 13% over recycling rates prior to implementing a single hauler contract. • Increased recycling and possible composting options could reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to landfilling municipal solid waste. • Consolidated number of collection days for residential services reduces number of trucks on the roads resulting in reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas April 7, 2020 - Page 35 of 184 Town of Vail Page 10 emissions. A study conducted in Arvada, Colorado indicate moving to a single hauler contract can reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to trash and recycling service up to 33%. • Improved data collection as the municipality can require specific reporting requirements, including on-truck scales to accurately measure municipal solid waste, recycling, and compost collected. In addition, there are fewer haulers to from which to track residential data, reducing staff time and inaccuracies/inconsistencies in reporting. • Reduced contamination in recycling with streamlined recycling messaging. • Reduced dumping of residential municipal solid waste in public areas, including parks and the recycling drop site, in turn reducing burden on Staff removing illegally dumped waste from these areas. • Potentially less exposure of trash and wildlife to trash can with fewer days of service per week. Health, Safety, and Aesthetics • Reduced number of trash and recycling trucks on the road improves safety on the roads for pedestrians in residential areas. • Reduced trucks on the road reduces emissions, leading to improved air quality and reduced odor and noise. • A single hauler schedule limits number of days containers are set out throughout the week in different neighborhoods. • Ease of code enforcement with one hauler as it streamlines monitoring of wildlife resistant canisters and compliance issues. • Increased service level, including cleanliness and appearance of trucks. Rates, Service, and Communication • Reduced cost to residents for municipal solid waste and recycling hauling services between 12% and 42%. Free -Market MSW collection systems typically have higher household costs than competitively-bid, contracted systems. • Increased accountability and level of service making it easier to resolve on-going issues and complaints. • Streamlined communications from the town regarding waste and recycling services, including established collection days and consistent messaging and education on recycling. While a single hauler contract limits free market hauler services in the residential sector, commercial entities and multi-family residences with eight or more units would still choose a waste hauler of their choice, providing opportunity for all three waste haulers to continue business operations in Vail. Residents would still have the opportunity to choose level of service and cart sizes in terms of the Pay as You Throw program. Pricing is reflective of cart sizing and a variety of billing options can be explored, from billing in house through the Finance department to requiring the contracted hauler to continue billing. Given the Town of Vail’s current recycling ordinance and requirements, the town is well poised to shift to a single hauler system as many necessary requirements and infrastructure for a successful single hauler program are already in place. A single hauler system can be an effective tool to help the Town of Vail achieve sustainability goals including increased waste diversion and reduced greenhouse gas emission goals, while providing a higher level of waste hauling service to residents. April 7, 2020 - Page 36 of 184 Town of Vail Page 11 VII. Staff Recommendations Based on potential effectiveness to increase waste diversion in the Town of Vail, while supporting other sustainability goals such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, staff recommends prioritization of pursuing a single hauler municipal contract, including the following steps: • Work with town attorney to identify legal questions • Establish program objectives and identify components to include • Gather community input through public meeting process, online comment portal, and general outreach • Gather hauler input through individual stakeholder meetings • Develop an RFP Staff also recommends implementing improved enforcement efforts and development of C & D waste diversion standards and will bring additional information forward for further discussion. ____________________________________________________________________________ Single Hauler Resources: City of Lakewood Sustainability Division. 2019 Lakewood Residential Trash Collection Report.

PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum, alongside the accompanying white paper, is to present a high-level approach to a stream corridor protection ordinance . Staff is seeking a Council directive on the following: Does the Vail Town Council support staff moving forward with the research and development, of a stream corridor protection ordinance including the elements as presented? II. BACKGROUND The Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan was adopted by Resolution 9, Series of 2016 on March 15, 2016. The Strategic Plan identifies the “loss of riparian vegetation and habitat” as one of the three main causes of the declining health of Gore Creek . Additionally, town-led efforts to reduce the use of pesticides near waterways have resulted in modest but consistent improvements in aquatic macroinvertebrate numbers. Because of the widespread nature of the degradation of riparian habitat along Gore Creek in Vail, the efforts to restore Gore Creek must also be widespread and diverse and will require the engagement of all creekfront land managers. The desired outcome of a stream corridor protection ordinance is the restoration and/or preservation of streambank habitat to the highest environment al standards by both private and public property owners. III. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The over-arching goal of a stream corridor protection ordinance would be to establish best practices on private property that, when implemented, contribute to removal of Gore Creek from the 303d list of impaired waterways. Objectives: 1. Create a clear set of requirements for establishment and maintenance of riparian setbacks 2. Limit turfgrass and hardscape and deter excessive chemical use within delineated buffer zone 3. Engage all property owners and managers in the Restore the Gore effort 4. Educate property owners and managers about how to implement best management practices in riparian restoration 5. Raise awareness of the importance of riparian buffers on private property 6. Incentivize creek-friendly landscaping practices by assisting private property owners with project design and implementation April 7, 2020 - Page 62 of 184 Town of Vail Page 2 IV. STREAM CORRIDOR PROTECTION ORDINANCE To be effective and in-line with best management practices, any stream corridor protection ordinance in Vail should include restrictions on removal of vegetation, construction and hardscape to successfully achieve the goals and objectives above. In addition, efforts to deter excessive landscape chemical use should be pursued to the extent possible under current state law. To be appropriate for Vail the ordinance would need to establish exceptions and exemptions for existing structures and hardscap es, chemical use in the control of invasive weeds, and removal of dead and hazardous vegetation. First, the ordinance should establish a clear and easily measured setback in which specific activities are limited or prohibited. These adopted setbacks could be adapted from the recommendations in the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) “Aquatic Buffer Model Ordinance,” but will be modified to take into account the nature of existing development in the Town of Vail. Exemptions could be made, for example, if the property owner obtains a permit by providing clear and convincing evidence to the Design Review Board or Vail Fire Department that one or more of the following criteria is met : • In cases where existing structures fall within the new setback, the inner buffer zone would extend a percentage of the distance measured from OHM to the structure. • Vegetation removal would be permitted in cases where trees pose a threat to people, structures, or property or have been identified by Vail Fire Department as potential fuel sources or are recommended for removal a s part of the establishment of defensible space around a structure in accordance with Vail Fire -Resistant Landscaping guidelines. V. IMPLEMENTATION While town staff already provides high level technical assistance to homeowners, a successful stream corridor protection ordinance should be accompanied by additional outreach, education and support for private property owners and managers. Such support could include native plant giveaways, assistance with design and plant selection, assessments of buffer zones a nd free consultations from town staff. VI. NEXT STEPS Should the Town Council decide to move forward with a stream corridor protection ordinance, staff will return with a draft ordinance in May. VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Vail Town Council support development of a stream corridor protection ordinance that includes; 1. A two-tiered setback from the high-water mark that limits removal of vegetation, establishment of hardscapes, and construction. 2. Exemptions for specific cases (existing structure, requirements for fire protection, fuels reduction and hazardous vegetation removal). 3. At a later date, if and when the opportunity becomes available, implement pesticide restrictions within the buffer zone established by thi s ordinance. VIII.

The Gore Creek Strategic Plan (GSP), adopted by the Vail Town Council in 2016, identifies three main causes of Gore Creek’s impairment: • Pollutants from land-use activities • Drainage from impervious surfaces and, • The loss of riparian and streamside vegetation The plan recommends 219 individual actions to address and correct the causes of Gore Creek’s impairment. These actions fit into five categories. Up to this time, Restore the Gore programs and initiatives have largely focused on the categories of Education and Outreach, Best Management Practices, Data Collection and Research, and Site Specific Projects. Impressive progress has been made in all four of these focus areas including completion of several enormous stormwater treatment projects, more than 10,000 native plants introduced in riparian areas, and the development of popular education series and programs that have resulted in greater awareness and water quality literacy in the community. Among the high priority actions that remain largely unaddressed are several that fall into the category of Rules and Regulations. These include: • Update stream setback, riparian zone, vegetative buffer zone and other water quality objective definitions and maps (title 12 review and amendments). • Consider the legal ramifications of partially or fully restricting commercial application of pesticides near streams and rivers. • Delineate Stream Protection Overlay/Hazard Zones adjacent to waterbodies. Restrict land uses in near-stream zones to maintain and/or restore water quality buffer characteristics. Since adoption of the GSP in 2016, the TOV has undertaken a dedicated and targeted effort to reverse the declining macroinvertebrate populations in Gore Creek. The Town has overseen the planting of thousands of native plants along more than 4 miles of town-owned stream tract. (previously stated so just shortening it). Major stormwater filtration projects involving a combination of custom infiltration systems, manufactured water treatment vaults, natural vegetation, and man-made wetlands have been completed at the East Vail highway interchange, TOV Public Works yard and the TOV snow dump. Major stormwater projects are also planned for Westhaven Drive and the West Vail Roundabout.. (these may not happen this year) Steady, incremental progress toward the recovery of aquatic insect populations has been documented as a result of these efforts to restore riparian habitat on town-owned parcels and update stormwater infrastructure for which TOV is responsible. Educational initiatives have raised awareness of the threats to Gore Creek. Community awareness and concern are high as has been consistently reflected in the town’s bi-annual surveys. Thirty-five to forty April 7, 2020 - Page 113 of 184 private landscapers and property managers participate in an annual workshop showcasing the town’s own shift to an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for maintaining town-owned landscapes. This landscaping strategy advocates a holistic approach that prioritizes proper plant care, diverse plant species, thoughtful plant selection, and the use of alternative methods of pest control; reserving chemical treatments as a last resort. The Town has demonstrated that beautiful landscaping can be maintained using the IPM method and without the use of foliar-applied pesticides, but more work is needed to educate private landscapers and property managers to follow through on this approach. Project Re-Wild, a public-private cost-share program designed to encourage private property owners to restore riparian buffers and stream setbacks along Gore Creek, was unveiled in 2017. Initially, the program provided 75% funding for the design of such projects, but property owners were responsible for the entire cost of construction, implementation and management. Under this model, five projects were designed but only one was constructed. Thanks to grant funding from the Eagle River Watershed council and design funds from Project Re-Wild, this project was completed at no cost to the HOA or homeowners. In the winter of 2018-19, following a report on the slow progress made toward restoring riparian buffers on private property under the public-private cost-share program called Project-Re-Wild, Town Council directed staff to use remaining funds allocated for the program to complete the five projects that had already been designed. Two major projects including nearly 1,000 native plants and the restoration of a floodplain wetland were completed in East Vail in the summer of 2019. These projects were made possible by an additional $15,000 in funding from the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) and again were completed with very modest investments from the property owners. A third bank stabilization and riparian restoration project in East Vail is very likely to move forward in the summer of 2020 with approximately 25% funding from Project Re-Wild. In response to the high average cost the town was incurring for the relatively small number of projects Project Re-Wild was managing to incentivize, the lack of riparian restoration projects occurring on private property and the demonstrated need to restore riparian habitat, Town Council directed staff to research and recommend code changes that would require private property owners to address the root causes of Gore Creek’s impairment by: • Encouraging private property owners and managers to re-establish riparian buffers • Reducing impervious surfaces on private property • Discouraging the use of landscaping chemicals, especially pesticides, and encouraging adoption of IPM strategies Numerous Colorado municipalities have successfully addressed similar challenges impacting their local waterways through code changes restricting land use activities adjacent to streams and wetlands, by establishing stream setback zones, and by limiting the application of pesticides and other activities in the setback through a Source Water Protection Ordinance (SWPO). Current Status of Town Code Concerning Stream Setbacks and Vegetated Buffers April 7, 2020 - Page 114 of 184 The Town of Vail currently has two regulations that address the construction of improvements in proximity to watercourses. The first is a setback requirement that is measured from the centerline of the watercourse: 12-14-17: SETBACK FROM WATERCOURSE: Minimum setback from a creek or stream shall be not less than thirty feet (30’) from the center of the established creek or stream channel as defined by the town comprehensive plan base maps; provided, however, that the setback from Gore Creek shall be fifty feet (50'). Natural creek or stream channels may not be rechanneled or changed. Additionally, Town of Vail prohibits improvements within any flood hazard zones: 12-21-10: DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTED: A. No structure shall be built in any flood hazard zone or red avalanche hazard area. No structure shall be built on a slope of forty percent (40%) or greater except in single -family residential, two-family residential, or two-family primary/secondary residential zone districts. The term "structure" as used in this section does not include recreational structures that are intended for seasonal use, not including residential use. At this time, the Town of Vail code of ordinances prohibits removal of vegetation without obtaining a permit but does not restrict mowing or pesticide use within a riparian, or creekside, zone. 12-11-3: DESIGN APPROVAL: A. Scope: No person shall commence removal of vegetation, site preparation, building construction or demolition, dumping of material upon a site, sign erection, exterior alteration or enlargement of an existing structure, paving, fencing or other improvements of open space within the corporate limits of the town unless design approval has been granted as prescribed in this chapter. The addition of plant materials to existing landscaping, gardening and landscape maintenance shall be exempt from this provision. Why undertake code changes? The GSP, adopted by Council in 2016, recommends that the town develop rules and regulations to govern activities in delineated “Stream Protection Overlay/Hazard Zones adjacent to water bodies,” and “Restrict land uses in near-stream zones to maintain and/or restore water quality buffer characteristics.” Chemical Use Currently, pesticide use is regulated by the State of Colorado and the label on the pesticide container is the law. Municipalities have not had the authority to regulate pesticides within their jurisdictions since 2005. While Town of Vail does not currently regulate chemical use on private property, town staff has altered pesticide application methods on town-owned trees. The adjustment eliminated all foliar applications in 2015 and reduced the total number of trees being treated by systemic insecticides from a peak of 2,400 to less than 100 in 2019. This was accomplished by evaluating trees prior to applying April 7, 2020 - Page 115 of 184 insecticides. Private property owner and pesticide applicators have been encouraged to adopt this method however only a few have changed their operations. The largest improvements in Gore Creek macroinvertebrate scores achieved so far have occurred following the town’s policy change. While the town has educated and encouraged professional landscape contractors, arborists and residents to follow the town’s example, foliar applied pesticides are still in wide use in Vail and examples of irresponsible and excessive application of pesticides has been observed. In a survey of actions taken in response to mountain pine beetle, the number of Vail residents who reported “spraying trees with chemicals” jumped from 35% in 2007 to nearly 50% in 2018 (Hua, Sanders Prentice & Vickery, Mountain Pine Beetles and Colorado Forests: Vail community re-survey report, University of Missouri-Columbia and University of Colorado Boulder). The survey did not ask a follow up question about what motivated this rise in prevalence of tree spraying in the decade from 2007 but it was likely related to ongoing concern about pine beetle infestations, in spite of education and outreach efforts informing both residents and landscape professionals that new infestations of mountain pine beetle have become exceedingly rare in Vail since about 2015. There appears to be a lag between the end of the pine beetle epidemic and public recognition that the beetle is not much of a threat to their trees at this time. As of the end of March 2020, a bill lifting the preemption on local control of pesticide regulations was stalled in the state senate. A hearing before the Senate Agriculture Committee had been scheduled in early March, but the legislative session was suspended due to concerns about Covid-19. Barring the passage of this or a similar bill in the future, Source Water Protection is the only justification municipalities can use to exercise the power to regulate pesticide use at the local level. Town of Vail staff were working closely with Eagle River Water & Sanitation District to develop a Source Water Protection Plan (SWPP), but this effort has also been temporarily suspended due to the impacts of Covid-19. Riparian Buffer Restoration Riparian habitat is crucial to a healthy waterway. Riparian plants prevent erosion and sedimentation, filter runoff, and provide shade, food and shelter for aquatic animals. While riparian areas makeup only 2% of wild land in Colorado, 95% of Colorado animal species depend on riparian areas at some point in their lifecycle. Vail is fortunate to own nearly 40% of the stream front along Gore Creek. The restoration of riparian habitat on this town-owned stream tract has resulted in a measurable improvement in Gore Creek macroinvertebrate populations. However, restoration of riparian habitat on private property has been very limited despite financial incentives, education and training offered by the town. The restoration and sustainability of healthy water quality for aquatic life such as fish and macroinvertebrates in Gore Creek will depend on the establishment of a continuous, interconnected corridor of riparian habitat along most of the length the stream. If Gore Creek is to make a full recovery, private property owners need to follow the town’s lead in restoring native vegetation in the riparian corridor. Effectiveness of Existing Regulations in Achieving Water Quality Goals April 7, 2020 - Page 116 of 184 Under current code language the setback from a watercourse in Vail is determined based on the centerline of the creek. This method for determining a setback is problematic for several reasons and can be cause for confusion and discrepancy. Most communities have moved away from using centerline to determine setback for these reasons. First, there are places on Gore Creek where 50 feet from the centerline is still inside the stream channel, or even still in the water. This means that there is effectively no setback on properties adjacent to those wide portions of stream. On braided reaches of creek, where the stream splits into multiple channels, it can be difficult or even subjective to ascertain which is the primary channel and where the centerline should be established. Additionally, centerline is difficult to measure and fluctuates more radically and frequently than the top of bank or ordinary highwater mark (OHM). A measurement from top of bank or OHM can be taken on the property where the setback is being determined with a single measurement and without the need to wade in the creek or enter an adjacent property. Determining centerline requires measurements be taken across the stream channel with a surveyor entering the water and entering at least one property on the other side of the creek. Centerline is also not an effective way to establish setbacks from ponds or wetlands. Establishing setbacks from top of bank or OHM creates continuity among setback regulations around all water bodies and wetlands. Finally, using centerline to determine the setback requirements often does not achieve the objectives of establishing riparian buffers on private property or even ensuring development does not creep too close to waterways. This method creates inequitable setbacks on properties adjacent to wide portions of creek as compared to those adjacent to narrower reaches. Stream Corridor Protection Codes from around the State The GSP, adopted by the Town Council in 2016, recommends a bold series of legislative options designed to protect riparian habitat and restore water quality in Gore Creek. While Vail has taken an innovative and active approach to restoring its main water body, Vail is not the first to consider an ordinance to achieve its goals of stream restoration. Many Colorado communities, faced with declining water quality and dwindling populations of fish and aquatic invertebrates, have seen the need to establish regulations to halt and reverse those downward trends. These communities are our peers in many ways, whether they are mountain resort communities, rural communities or strive to be leaders in environmental stewardship. Their water protection regulations fall into two categories: those designed for the protection of in-stream water quality and aquatic ecosystems, and those designed for the protection of drinking water sources. However, all are effective in establishing protections for in stream water quality and aquatic life. Collbran Collbran is a small, rural community on the Grand Mesa in western Colorado. The Source Water Protection Ordinance adopted by Collbran is primarily focused on protecting the community’s drinking water sources from contamination. Its stated purpose is to “protect the Town’s watershed and April 7, 2020 - Page 117 of 184 waterworks from damage, harm or injury and preventing pollution of the town’s water supply.” While primarily focused on the protection of the watershed and water supply for human health, the ordinance also has the effect of providing protection for aquatic ecosystems and wetlands. Collbran is a rural community where agricultural, mining and forestry all take place. As such, their ordinance bans surface and subsurface mining within the watershed, the use of restricted-use pesticides (pesticides not available to the general public that can only be applied by state-certified applicators) within 100 feet of a waterway and removal of trees or vegetation in excess of 0.5 acres. As is the case with most SWPOs, the jurisdiction of the ordinance applies to a blanket district extending 5 miles upstream of all the town’s drinking water source points (including wells and intakes). The area of jurisdiction is defined in a publicly available map that was established as part of the ordinance. Larimer County The regulations Larimer County has adopted are for the purpose of wetland more than stream protection but can be informative in their methods of protecting those aquatic and semi -aquatic habitats with a tiered series of buffer zones, similar to those established in Boulder’s stream protection regulations. The Larimer County regulations express their goals as protecting water quality, wildlife habitat, flood protection and other critical environmental functions. The regulations establish a list of activities that are prohibited in wetlands and establish minimum buffer zones based on the size of the wetlands (50 feet for wetlands smaller than one acre, 100 feet for wetlands larger than an acre). The ordinance establishes a comprehensive map of wetlands as well as a process for challenging the boundaries of a wetland. While the Army Corps of Engineers establishes national regulations governing the modification, development and destruction of wetlands, Larimer County has established a broader definition of what qualifies as a wetland and created a comprehensive map of qualifying wetlands within the county. Buena Vista Like Collbran, Buena Vista adopted a source water protection ordinance with the primary stated intention of protecting the community’s drinking water supply. The adopted regulations apply to a blanket area extending 5 miles upstream of all drinking water intakes. This zone is outlined in a map that was established at the time the ordinance was passed and is publicly available upon request to the town clerk’s office. Activities requiring a permit from the town include commercial application of landscaping chemicals, mining, drilling, timber harvesting and use or storage of toxic waste materials, among others. Steamboat The ordinance Steamboat has in place is primarily a drinking water protection ordinance, similar to those established by Buena Vista and Collbran. Like those other source water protection ordinances, it establishes a jurisdiction extending 5 miles upstream from all drinking water intakes. The ordinance dictates that a permit is required for a suite of activities including use of any restricted use pesticide, removal of vegetation in excess of 0.5 acres, removal of vegetation within 100 feet of a waterway and mining. April 7, 2020 - Page 118 of 184 Glenwood Springs Glenwood Springs is in the process of adopting code changes designed to protect waterways, stream channels and riparian habitat for the benefit of water quality and aquatic species. The proposed code language would establish a 50-foot setback from the Ordinary Highwater Mark (OHM). This is a designation recognized and defined by the Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed changes would prohibit building, grading, excavation, backfill, dumping, vegetation removal (in excess of 10% on a property), and chemical treatments (with exceptions made for noxious weed control). Boulder The ordinance that the City of Boulder adopted to protect waterways and wetlands makes specific reference to the fact that non-point source impacts to waterways were historically of little concern throughout most of the City’s development. This is true of many Colorado communities, Vail included. The Boulder ordinance offers a detailed explanation of its legislative intent, indicating that waterways are “indispensable and fragile natural resources” and that “it is necessary for the city to ensure protection by discouraging development activities in streams, wetlands and water bodies and those activities at adjacent sites that may adversely affect the visibility and functional values of these resources.” To that end, Boulder adopted a suite of regulations that establish a tiered series of zones including the water bodies themselves, an inner buffer and an outer buffer. Within those zones, activities are characterized as Exempted, Conditional Use, Standard Permit Review, Prohibited Activities or Allowed with Notice. This strategy allowed the city to create a single set of standards, made available and easily understood through a chart that appropriately limits, discourages or bans various activities that have an adverse impact on the water resources within the city based on the proximity of those activities to valuable water resources. For example, construction of new or expansion of existing impervious surfaces (such as pathways and driveways) are prohibited within the wetland or waterbody itself, and subject to standard permit review in both the inner and outer buffer zones. Legislation can help us achieve our goal of permanently removing Gore Creek from the 303d list In 2018, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) amended the formula it used to calculate macroinvertebrate scores in Gore Creek (MMI v4). When applied to all macroinvertebrate samples taken from Gore Creek since 2009, all but one site in one year (2011) failed to meet the standards set with this new formula. This policy change essentially revised Gore Creek scores down. While still showing that steady, if modest, improvements have been made in recent years due to Restore the Gore initiatives, Gore Creek is farther from reaching its goal of removal from the state’s 153d list than it was under the previous formulation (MMI v3). Fig. 1 Gore Creek MMI Scores, September 2018 April 7, 2020 - Page 119 of 184 Setback overlay zone The most effective buffer zone ordinances delineate at least two separate areas of influence along creeks, streams, wetlands and ponds. Setbacks are measured from top of bank or OHM, which can be established objectively and easily measured. Within a narrow, inner buffer land use activities are tightly restricted. Mowing, vegetation removal, chemical use and establishment of impervious surfaces are prohibited with only few exceptions for control of invasive weeds. Beyond that an outer zone establishes less stringent restrictions on land use and landscaping activities but still provides a level of protection for water quality by limiting or prohibiting high impact activities such as construction of hardscapes, development and storage of materials, even if vegetation removal and landscape maintenance are permitted within this outer zone. The existence of multiple zones also allows for exceptions to be made for properties where existing buildings are very close to the top of bank. In such places, municipalities sometimes choose to only apply a strict inner buffer, allowing property owners to manage areas outside that buffer as they always have. Exemptions should be made for certain permitted activities within even the inner buffer. For example, if the use of pesticides becomes prohibited within an inner buffer, opportunities need to exist for property owners to obtain a permit to manage an infestation of noxious weeds like Canada thistle, which are nearly impossible to maintain without the use of herbicide. There also needs to be a mechanism through which removal of dead vegetation, such as hazard trees and potential fuel sources, can be permitted. April 7, 2020 - Page 120 of 184 Conclusion A stream corridor protection ordinance, while recommended by the GSP, has not yet been adopted in the town of Vail. While steady, modest progress has been made in recovering aquatic macroinvertebrate numbers in Gore Creek, full recovery is unlikely to occur without the widespread restoration of riparian buffers on both public and private property. Adoption of a well -thought-out ordinance that regulates vegetation removal, construction, pesticide use and other activities within a near stream zone has enormous potential to help Town of Vail achieve its goal of permanently removing Gore Creek from the state’s 303d list of impaired waterways.

PURPOSE The purpose of this item is to:  Provide information on the Public Works Shop Project regarding design progression, cost estimates, schedule, and work product to date  Receive Town Council direction regarding project budget and related design, contractor selection and schedule II. BACKGROUND On July 7, 2019 the Town Council provided direction on the shop master plan project. This direction included the following: Phase 1 Priorities  Construction of a standalone Streets building 24,000 +/- SF with a two-level mezzanine along one end providing an additional 3200 SF of interior second floor space. The building is to be designed to allow for vertical expansion as well as replacement of displaced and required parking of the desired building expansion. This direction provides the most flexibility for future expansions. The initial design will handle the associated loads. The roof of the building is essentially a concrete parking deck. The estimated cost of the building is $9.8M.  Relocate the greenhouse,  A new cinder bin,  Construct the back-retaining wall to expand the shop yard area. Budget  Adjusting the budgets to allow for the prioritization selected Procurement  Approve entering into a contract negotiation with Victor Mark Donaldson Architects for design of Phase 1  Approve entering a Construction Manager/General Contractor selection process for Phase 1 Project  Approve soliciting bids for the back-retaining wall portion of the project for Fall 2019 construction April 7, 2020 - Page 123 of 184 Town of Vail Page 2 II. PROGRESS TO DATE The following have occurred since the last Town Council presentation.  The town completed a contract agreement with VMDA for Phase 1 design components.  Solicited Construction Manager/General Contractor for the project and selected Hyder Construction to assist with preconstruction services as well the retaining wall project.  Solicited contractors for the back-retaining wall. Hyder, through a competitive process, selected Coggins and Sons as the shoring/retaining wall contractor. This was done in anticipation of constructing the back wall last fall as a design/build.  Advanced the wall design and utility package.  A PEC application was submitted in July 2019 for a hearing on August 26, 2019. The project was delayed while an environmental report was prepared, as requested by the PEC. The entitlement process duration required any construction to be put off until spring 2020.  PEC Conditional Use permit granted by the PEC on January 13, 2020. In reviewing the master plan concepts prior to submitting the design for a Conditional Use permit, it became apparent the stand-alone Streets building concept with moving the cinder bin and greenhouse resulted in significant construction phasing logistical issues as well as site design constraints. The application and resulting Conditional Use permit granted by the PEC in January 2020 has the new Streets building connected to the existing shop building. This allows opportunities for the streets and parks employees to be in close proximity to their workspaces, including check-in area, bathrooms, lockers and break areas. This scenario also allows improvements to the existing shop building. Savings realized by not moving the greenhouse and cinder bin were used to provide a more complete Streets building and make necessary improvements to the existing shop building. The project team has advanced the building design to include four structural options as well as the pricing associated with each. With completion of the entitlement process and further refined designs from the master plan level budgets, the project team has updated pricing through Hyder Construction on these options to allow the council to review the project and modify the direction if desired. This is a critical step prior to beginning preparation of the construction documents of the Streets building anticipated for construction in 2021. Design Program The new attached Streets building includes an equipment storage garage of 18,900 SF which allows for structural reinforcement for one level of parking and two levels of development above the parking level, and a two-story addition, which replaced the previous interior mezzanine with a floor footprint of 3800 SF for a total of 7600 SF or 26,500 SF of new construction. In addition, a 4850 SF remodel of the existing upstairs break room offices, kitchen and restrooms has been designed and priced. All pricing options include the above features of the Streets building, besides Option 1 which also includes the bridge and cold storage building and connecting podium. Option 1 was priced to evaluate the cost magnitude from a building standpoint to access the Streets building roof in the future. April 7, 2020 - Page 124 of 184 Town of Vail Page 3 Option 1 is the new Streets building as described above and includes a bridge building connecting to a cold storage building and podium all identified as a future phase of the master plan. The completion of this work is required to access the parking level of the Streets building. Both the streets storage garage and the future podium are designed to accommodate one layer of parking and two additional levels of development. Option 2 is the option selected by council in July which provides structural reinforcement of the vehicle storage garage to allow one layer of parking and two additional levels of development. In the interim the parking deck will allow solar. Option 3 is the same program as Option 2 but is only reinforced to allow parking and solar and no future development levels. Option 4 is the same program as Option 2 and 3 but structurally is only designed for solar. This was the non-structural option reviewed in July. The staff had been working on these various options prior to the current events, and as a budget check to ensure that the revised Streets building configuration and remodeled space were within the budget established last July. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 it is even more relevant to review the project prior to proceeding to final design. Retaining Wall and Utilities The back-retaining wall and associated site and utility improvements are currently designed to a 70% level and pricing has been updated based on this design. The retaining wall is approximately 950’ long and up to 22 feet high. The space gained from building the wall provides nearly an acre of additional yard space. One item required as part of the PEC process was for a rock fall berm to protect the entire site. Utility upgrades are now a major improvement required either as part of this first phase or planning for future phases. The utility upgrades include:  A 1,250 feet water line extension and 3 additional fire hydrants looping along the entire back of the shop building. This design has been reviewed by the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, Vail Fire and Vail Public Works and priced.  Drainage improvements to protect the retaining wall from above and additional improvements below the wall to collect and treat the water from the new surface yard areas created by the wall construction are included. These improvements have been designed, staff reviewed and priced.  Public works shop electric service modifications. This is not related to the bus charging electric service but the town shop only. The service will be modified as the wall interferes with the current location. This has been priced.  Two utilities which need to be upgraded and budgetary estimates are being carried at this time include gas service which requires excavating to the intersection of Sunburst Drive and Vail Valley Drive. This improvement is required at this time and is being engineered by Xcel energy.  In the future, the sewer line needs to be enlarged from the current 6 inch diameter line to an 8 inch diameter line from the future housing components to the shop lift station April 7, 2020 - Page 125 of 184 Town of Vail Page 4 located on the curve of Vail Valley Drive just south of the ponds of golf holes number 1 and 2. Because this alignment follows the same path as the upgraded gas line, there are savings to install both improvements at this time to avoid increased costs in the future. Once these improvements are designed more detailed pricing will be provided and compared to the budgetary estimates being carried. III. PROJECT SCHEDULE UPDATE Key factors related to the updated schedule are outlined below. The Public Works shop project based on PEC requirements is a two-year process. Critical components are the timeline placed on the project work related to the retaining wall and rockfall berm. Construction is allowed in the June to November timeframe. A second critical component of the project is removing the Streets portion of the shop building in the spring of 2021 and being able to occupy the building by fall of 2021. Keeping the snow removal equipment in heated storage during the winter season is critical to the success of town operations. Another component of the schedule is establishing room on the site before the streets building is removed as operations during the spring, summer and fall will need to compete with construction staging. In order to meet these requirements, starting the construction of the back wall in the summer of 2020 with completion in the fall of 2020 accomplishes this. The team is also requesting Hyder Construction, the CM/GC, to solicit final bids for the summer of 2020 work, once the construction documents are completed. The project team will return in May to the Town Council for the project contract award of the retaining wall and utility portion of the project. The contract award will maintain the schedule as presented below and meet the construction schedule restrictions placed by the PEC on the site improvements.

PROJECT BUDGET AND COSTS The budget for Public Works Project over a two-year period is at $21.1 M as was provided in the first supplemental reading. This will be reduced to $ 19.7 M with the second reading. In addition, $7 M would be left in the 2020 budget with the Streets building and related costs moving to 2021. The four building pricing options are provided for comparing the alternatives being considered. Option 1 - $14 M is the Streets building along with the bridge and cold storage building to the north against the berm. These future components of the bridge and cold storage are reinforced to allow parking and two levels of future expansion This option is being provided for two reasons. First, the team had not considered occupied space other than parking spaces on the future podium due to rockfall hazards. Now that the rockfall berm is being constructed, this future podium can now allow occupied development. Second, the future bridge and cold storage addition would have to be constructed at some point to access the Streets building parking podium. The bridge and cold storage addition are not in the current budget. The bridge and cold storage building provide a 16,800 SF podium for future expansion. The impact to the budget is the difference in building costs and currently carried contingencies. This is a premium or add of $3.6 M, this is the minimum needed to allow access to the Streets building reinforced parking deck in the future. Option 2 - $10.825 M is the option selected by the Town Council in July and is in the budget presented above. The building provides for an 18,900 SF podium, this allows for a level of parking and two levels of development above the parking. Comparing the cost in July to the cost now is in the July version demolition of the existing building was carried in a separate line item but is now part of the building cost. No adjustment to the budget is required. If the Public Works Administration building were removed for additional housing, replacing it on top of this option is easily accomplished. Option 3 - $10.0 M this was not presented to council; however, the design team felt an option that allowed for additional parking is prudent if there is any vertical expansion on the future bridge and cold storage addition to the north. The potential of 33,600 SF of future development may require more parking than what could be provided on the bridge and cold storage podium. This is a reversal of the previous planning which provided development to the south and parking to the north. The deduction of only allowing parking including currently carried contingencies is $ 0.96 M Option 4 - $9.14 M is the non-reinforced structural option. This is being provided if there is a desire to not have any ability to expand on top of the existing Streets building. The deduction of only allowing solar including currently carried contingencies is $ 1.85 M. The cost of the retaining wall, rockfall berm, and utility upgrades is $ 5.5 M with contingencies. April 7, 2020 - Page 127 of 184 Town of Vail Page 6 The project budget not only covers the hard construction costs, but the soft costs of design, design team construction administration, town of Vail construction management, testing, permits and fees, Furnishings, Fixtures and Equipment (FFE), and project contingencies for design and procurement processes. as well as an owner’s contingency once construction starts for unforeseen circumstances rounds out the budget. The structural option selected by Town Council in July of 2019 is on budget in the current $19.7M being carried forward. Budget Structural Option Summary Option 1 will be required in the future allowing access to the parking level on the Streets building $3.6M add Option 2 council July 2019 direction allows one level of parking and two levels of development. $ 0 no change Option 3 allows only one level of parking no development $ 0.96 reduction Option 4 non-structural reinforcement allows only solar $ 1.85 M reduction V.

SUMMARY The purpose of this memo is to provide a summary of impacts to revenue projections and corresponding budget reductions. Total revenues for the town are projected to decrease by a total of nearly $10M, or 13.5% of annual revenue streams. Of that total, sales tax represents a majority of the decrease, or $7.2M. Sales tax is projected to drop 27% from prior year. II. BACKGROUND In an attempt to forecast revenue in this unprecedented time, this first round of estimates includes significant impacts to local business. We assume the major impact begins around March 8th, or 25% of the month with “normal” business. Collections in both April and May are projected with an 75-80% reduction; June at a 60% reduction and July a 25% reduction. The rest of the summer is projected down 20%. November and December have been reduced by 10% and may be adjusted again later in the year. Overall this forecast results in an estimated decrease in sales tax collections of $7.15M, or 27% from 2019 and a decrease of 25% from the original budget. Staff will continue to monitor economic indicators, as news changes daily.

Total revenue reductions of $9,998,000 equates to a 13.5% decrease in revenue. RECESSION PLAN: During the 2020 Budget process, Council reviewed and approved a high-level recession plan. There are multiple stages of this recession plan, with each stage representing escalating impacts to revenue streams. Based on the 13% reduction in the General Fund, we land at the “Significant” recession plan level. 1. Minor: Impacts to revenues are minor, such as a 1-5% reduction. Staff recommends maintaining service levels while making minor cuts to operating expenditures. Utilize reserves where necessary. 2. Moderate: Impacts to revenue are moderate, such as a 5-10% reduction. Staff recommends maintaining service levels while making larger cuts to operating expenditures. Reduce annual merit increases for employees. Defer capital projects unless already in process. Utilize reserves where necessary. 3. Significant: Impacts to revenue are significant, such as a 10-15% reduction. Staff recommends limited service reductions (“unseen” services to be reduced first), manage staffing vacancies and deferring capital projects. Utilize reserves where necessary. Potential merit deferral / freeze in wages. 4. Major: Impacts to revenue are major, such as a 15-20% reduction. Staff recommends service reductions, merit deferral / freeze in wages, potential reduction in staff and deferring capital projects. Utilize reserves. 5. Crisis: Impacts to revenue are at a crisis level such as over 20% reductions to revenues. Staff recommends significant reductions in service levels, reduction in staff, merit deferral / freeze in wages and deferring capital projects. Utilize reserves. III. BUDGET REDUCTIONS In response to the revenue impacts, staff proposes budget reductions to the General Fund, Capital Projects Fund, Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund, Dispatch Services Fund and the Heavy Equipment Fund. All of these reductions will be reflected in the second reading of Ordinance No. 1, Series 2020 adjusting the budget in the evening council meeting. April 7, 2020 - Page 145 of 184 - 3 - Balancing the General Fund Budget: Revenue impact to the General fund totals $6.4 million. Staff proposes the following actions to balance the annual budget:  Utilize fund balance to help offset the expenditure cuts. 2019 resulted in a surplus of $4.0M going to the General Fund reserves from both a combination of revenues exceeding budget ($2.6M) and savings in operating expenditures ($1.5M). Applying this amount against the loss of $6.4M would reduce the “need” to $2.4M.  Refrain from any future merit increases for the remainder of the year, unless the local economy and revenue expectations turn around. Staff will re-assess late summer. This will save approximately $730,000, or 31% of the cost reduction “need” being funded by employees. Recognize savings from staffing vacancies or service reductions that may be implemented.  Reduce operating expenditures 10% (excluding staffing). This includes Dispatch Services and Heavy Equipment Fund (fleet operations). Examples of operating expenditures that may be cut include professional development, contract labor, travel, meals, supplies, etc. This will save $1.2M in the General Fund. Capital Projects Fund and RETT Fund: Staff recommends both recognizing permanent savings as well as deferring larger capital projects for a year. Combined project savings and deferrals total $18.3M and are listed below. Permanent Savings- $3.1M  Recognize 2019 savings in various projects ($1.3M)  Public Works Remodel ($1.4M)  Hybrid Bus Battery Replacements ($388.7K)  Short-Term Rental and Sales Tax Software ($50.5K)  Fire Equipment ($7K) Deferred Project Savings-$15.2M  Public Works Remodel ($12.7M)  Parking Structure Cameras ($1.0M)  Lupine & Nugget Lane Bridge Reconstructions- ($750K)  East Vail Interchange Underpass Sidewalk ($500K)  Fire safety equipment ($32.0K)  Fire Station Alert System ($198.0K) Separately, there are projects that due to timing or benefit to local economy staff is proposing to move forward in the next 90 days. These projects include:  PW Shops: moving forward with retaining wall and utility infrastructure for 2020  Electric bus infrastructure  Electric car charging infrastructure in the Lionshead parking structure  Air handling units in Police Department building  Remodel of Community Development front office for pubic access and safety issues April 7, 2020 - Page 146 of 184 - 4 - IV. NEXT STEPS The supplemental budget ordinance in the evening council meeting will reflect these proposed changes in the town’s budget. Staff will continue to monitor and assess additional financial impacts over time. While dramatic economic impacts have been anticipated, this initial round of budget reductions are intended to have minimal changes to services visible by guests and citizens of Vail. Should the town’s revenue be further impacted as we analyze changing economic indicators, the next phase in the recession plan may be activated (“Major category) and corresponding actions such as service reductions will be considered.

SUMMARY The purpose of this memorandum is to forward the recommendation of the Vail Local Housing Authority on possible amendments to the Town’s adopted out of town housing mitigation policy. This request is in specific reference to a policy amendment proposed which would allow developers to propose to meet inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage obligations out of the town for consideration. On February 11, 2020, the Vail Local Housing Authority heard a request by representatives of Vail Health proposing possible amendments to the Town adopted out of town housing mitigation policy. The Vail Local Housing Authority voted unanimously 4-0 to forward a recommendation of support for further consideration of the policy amendments. 2. BACKGROUND The Vail Town Council adopted inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage as two primary means of mitigating the increased need for workforce housing resulting from new residential and commercial development in Vail. In doing so, three methods of mitigation were adopted and include: 1) deed restricting dwellings units, both on-site and off-site 2) remitting a fee in lieu payment, and 3) conveyance of vacant property into a land bank. More specifically, however, when providing deed-restricted dwelling units off-site, said units “may be provided off site within the Town of Vail.” This adopted code provision prohibits an applicant from proposing mitigation of their workforce housing obligation outside the Town of Vail municipal boundaries. The Vail Town Council is the policy making body of the Town of Vail. The applicant’s request to expand the methods of mitigation to include out of town deed-restricted homes is a change in policy. As such, proposed changes in policy should first be considered by the Vail Town Council. If the Town Council determines a change in policy warrants further consideration, policy making direction can be provided and the town staff will prepare options for policy implementation to be presented to the Town’s Planning and Environmental Commission for April 7, 2020 - Page 149 of 184 Town of Vail Page 2 evaluation. The Planning and Environmental Commission will then be charged with forwarding a policy implementation recommendation to the Vail Town Council for consideration and adoption. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS The Vail Local Housing Authority, acting in an advisory role to the Vail Town Council, has reviewed the applicant’s request to amend the out of town method of mitigation policy. As a result, the Vail Local Housing Authority unanimously recommends that the Vail Town Council directs the town staff to prepare policy implement options which expand methods of mitigation for inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage to include out of town options. In forwarding a recommendation of approval, the Vail Local Housing Authority recommends the following factors be included in policy implementation options: 1) Discretion for allowing out of town mitigation shall remain with the decision-making board, subject to demonstrated compliance with prescribed criteria for review, 2) Considerations should be included to address the unintended consequence of increased need for transportation to get employees Vail, 3) Increased mitigation rates (1.5 or 2x) should be included for out of town mitigation, and 4) Measures should be included to respond to non-compliance and enforcement issues outside the Town’s jurisdiction. 5) Terms of the deed restriction should be amended to ensure the town’s desired objectives are achieved. 4. NEXT STEPS If instructed to do so, the town staff will collaborate with representatives from Vail Health and similar stakeholders and potentially affected parties to develop policy implementation options and land use regulation amendments. Said options and amendments will be presented to the Planning and Environmental Commission and the Vail Local Housing Authority for feedback and comment. In the end, the town staff will return to the Vail Town Council for final decision making on this policy matter. It is estimated this process will require approximately 90 days to complete. 5. ACTION REQUESTED Does the Vail Town Council support the recommendation of the Vail Local Housing Authority to further explore options for expanding the methods of mitigation for inclusionary zoning and commercial linkage to include out of town mitigation? If yes, what, if any, specific policy direction does the Vail Town Council have for the town staff and the Planning and Environmental Commission as they develop policy implementation options and land use regulation amendments for further consideration and adoption?

This letter has been prepared on behalf of Vail Health. Amendments to be discussed pertain specifically to the methods of mitigating housing requirements. We look forward to initiating this conversation at the Authority’s meeting on February 11th. The Need for these Amendments Over the past many years, the Town’s efforts to address our housing issues have been robust. By the development of projects like Vail Commons, Buzzard Park and Chamonix, or by the Vail InDeed program, or by the Inclusionary Zoning and Commercial Linkage housing regulations, the Town’s efforts have dramatically increased the Vail’s inventory of attainable/workforce housing. In addition to providing housing for our local workforce, these housing units have had a very direct impact on the Town’s goal of increasing local population in Vail and in doing so strengthen our sense of “community”. Notwithstanding the success of these initiatives, land available for the development of new housing in Vail is severely limited and ultimately there is a limit to the number of units that can be realized by the Vail InDeed program. Currently Town regulations require housing mitigation to be provided within the Town boundaries. The reality is that it is increasingly difficult, and is expected to become more difficult, to provide housing mitigation within the Town of Vail. The purpose of proposed amendments to the Town’s housing regulations is to allow for housing mitigation to be provided outside of Town boundaries. April 7, 2020 - Page 151 of 184 The idea of providing housing down valley is not a new concept. In the 1990’s Vail owned the 5th Filing of Berry Creek Subdivision in Edwards and prior to selling the land to Eagle County, the Town actively considered the development of a workforce housing project on this land. This past year the Town acquired deed restrictions on rental units in the 6 West Apartments in Edwards. Resolution No. 30 of 2018 outlines the Town’s housing policies and includes Policy #2 “we use public/private partnerships and actively pursue local and regional solutions to increase the supply of deed-restricted homes”. Finally, the 2018 community survey found that 70% of respondents were very supportive or supportive of “allowing developers to meet their deed-restricted housing requirements outside of town boundaries”. The idea of providing housing mitigation outside of town boundaries is clearly supported these considerations. The Proposal The Town’s Inclusionary Zoning and Commercial Linkage ordinances generally stipulate that a minimum of 50% of required housing mitigation be provided “on-site” with the balance being provided either by payment of cash-in-lieu or by providing deed restrictions on off-site units “within the town”. The idea behind this amendment proposal is to modify these regulations to allow for required housing mitigation to be provided down-valley, or outside of Town boundaries. While in concept this is a simple change, there are many nuances that would need further evaluation. Examples of these include considerations such as: Location – Allowing for mitigation outside of Town boundaries will need to be defined. While mitigation outside of town boundaries presumes down valley within Eagle County (and not Summit County), further limitations on where mitigation may be appropriate. For example, mitigation in Minturn, Avon or Edwards may be acceptable, while housing in Bond or McCoy may not. Transportation and Parking – A consequence of providing housing mitigation down valley could be worsening traffic and parking conditions within Vail. In evaluating the suitability of down valley locations, consideration should be given to a site’s proximity to regional transit and/or the potential for employee shuttles to provide transport to and from Vail. For Sale or Rental Units – Should down valley mitigation be allowed for both rental unit and for- sale housing units? Mitigation Ratio – Would providing housing mitigation down valley prompt a need to change or increase mitigation rates? Discretionary or By-Right – Parameters or standards specific to down valley mitigation will certainly be necessary. Once such parameters or standards are established, a question to be addressed is whether down valley mitigation requires review and approval by the Town or whether down valley mitigation is permissible “by-right” subject to a proposal conforming with such standards. April 7, 2020 - Page 152 of 184 If it is decided to pursue the idea of allowing down valley mitigation, these and other considerations would be evaluated during the process of drafting amendments to existing regulations. Benefits of Proposed Amendments It is acknowledged that for many reasons housing mitigation provided within the Town is the preferred option. That said, providing mitigation within the Town is fraught with challenges and there are a number of benefits that would be realized by down valley housing: • Proposed amendments are a direct response to the reality of Vail’s limited land resources and the finite availability of homes for the Vail Indeed program. • Allowing for down valley mitigation may result in the construction of new workforce housing, increasing the inventory of restricted housing units is a positive outcome. • The shortage of workforce housing is a problem for Vail, it is also a problem for all of Eagle County. The creation of new housing stock, be it in Vail or outside of Vail, is a benefit toward addressing what is a regional problem. • Down valley housing units can provide housing for employees who work in Vail, and in doing so help address the acute employee shortages that currently affect many Vail employers. • The amendments directly address elements of the Town’s 2018 Housing Policies and are supported by the 2018 Town Survey. • Down valley units provide an alternative for those who want to work in Vail but may not want to live in Vail. We look forward to our upcoming discussion on February 11th. Regards Thomas A.

For the record (though not news to my former Council colleagues) I have been working on solving Vail’s housing challenges in one form or another since my appointment to the Vail PEC in 1995, reviewing and/or providing impetus for projects from Buzzard Park, the Sandstone Critical Housing Townhomes (the “burrito grease” Townhomes for those of you w/ long memories), to Middle Creek development, the Timber Ridge purchase, Vail InDeed, and the Hud Wirth/Chamonix Townhomes purchase and evolution. Throughout I’ve focused on finding a balance between maintaining a front line workforce and making sure we retain community that we want to live in. Additionally, and no surprise to most of you, I have also advocated for housing at the County where I continue to serve on, and chair, the Planning Commission, as well as during my 4 year tenure on the State Land Board where we worked on affordable housing in furtherance of the mandated mission of serving Colorado’s school kids. I have attended the national Grounded Solutions Conference and am actively involved in developing a alternative mortgage product channel focused exclusively on protecting “jurisdictional equity” in affordable/subsidized for-sale housing. I am familiar w/ the role of the VLHA having advocated for its evolution from a sleepy backwater to it’s current active role in addressing the Town’s most pressing challenge. In short, while I’m not “all housing all of the time”, I’m pretty close, but you guys know that already. Thank you for your consideration of my application. I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve this community that I love.

Year to date collections of $7,994,079 are down 2.7% from prior year and down 0.3% from amended budget. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index was up 2.3% for February. During today’s budget supplemental discussion, staff is recommending to reduce budgeted sales tax collections by $7.15M, or 25.1%. The 2020 amended budget will total $21,374,000 compared to 2019 collections of $29,250,698. Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) RETT collections through March 31 total $1,531,069 down 2.1% from the prior year. The 2020 annual RETT budget totals $6,300,000, down 12.8% from 2019 collections. Construction Use Tax Use Tax collections through March 31 total $252,129 compared to $230,943 from this time last year. The 2020 budget totals $2,220,000, down 11.2% from 2019 collections. Parking Revenue Season to date: Pass sales from November through March 14th (date of closing) total $1,764,343 up $84,442 or 7.8% from prior winter season. The majority of the increase in pass sales was largely due to purchases by local businesses and increased interest in value passes. Daily sales from the parking structures from November through March 14th total approximately $2,496,489 down $909,457 or 20.6% from the prior winter season through the end of March. Using the assumption that the parking structures will remain closed for remainder of the season, daily parking sales will be down $1,304,824 or 27.1% from the prior winter season. Combined pass and daily sales for the 2019/2020 season total $5,276,605, down $1,220,381 or 18.8% from prior year.
