RESOURCES THROUGH AN INCREASED MILL LEVY
WHEREAS, the Colorado River Water Conservation District (Colorado River District) is
a public entity with a mission to lead protection, conservation, use and development of the
water resources of the Colorado River Basin for the welfare its residents and to safeguard for
Colorado all the waters of the Colorado River to which the State of Colorado is entitled;
WHEREAS, the Town works closely with the Colorado River District on both intrastate
and interstate water matters of interest;
WHEREAS, it is critical to the people of Western Colorado that the Colorado River
District continue to be a strong and effective voice on water matters affecting Western
Colorado water users;
WHEREAS, the Colorado River District’s revenues are declining due to reduced energy
production and prices, impacts of the Gallagher Amendment and the revenue limitations in
the Taxpayers Bill of Rights;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Colorado River District has certified and
directed that the following ballot question (7A) be placed in the November 2020 election
across the District’s 15 counties:
Shall Colorado River Water Conservation District, also known as the Colorado River
District, taxes be increased by an amount up to $4,969,041 in 2021 (which increases amounts
to approximately $1.90 in 2021 for every $100,000 in residential property value), and such
amounts as are generated annually thereafter from an additional property tax levy of .248
mills (for a total mill levy of 0.5 mills) to enable the Colorado River District to protect and
safeguard Western Colorado by:
o Fighting to keep water on the Western Slope;
o Protecting adequate water supplies for West Slope Farmers and Ranchers;
o Protecting sustainable drinking water supplies for West Slope communities; and
o Protecting fish, wildlife, and recreation by maintaining river levels and water quantity;
Provided that the District will not utilize these additional funds for the purpose of paying
to fallow irrigated agriculture; with such expenditures reported to the public in an annually
October 6, 2020 - Page 6 of 99
published independent financial audit; and shall all revenues received by the District in 2021
and each subsequent year be collected retained and spent notwithstanding any limits
provided by law?;
WHEREAS, we believe that the revenues that will be raised if the above ballot
question is approved by the voters are critical to the Colorado River District being able to
continue its mission and be a strong and effective advocate on issues and importance to
water users on the Western Slope of Colorado;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN
OF VAIL, COLORADO THAT:
The Vail Town Council strongly supports the Colorado Rover District’s ballot question set

To: Town Council
From: Town Manager’s Office
Date: October 6, 2020
Subject: Update on Children’s Garden of Learning temporary location – Lionshead Site
Over the past several months, staff has undertaken a significant amount of due diligence to identify a
viable temporary location for the Children’s Garden of Learning (CGL) facility. As you know the need
for a temporary and future permanent location for CGL is necessitated by the fact that the Town has
identified Middle Creek Lot 3, as a town-owned parcel that is critical for the Town to meet its deed-
restricted housing goals. Our primary focus has been on the concept of remodeling the Community
Development municipal building to allow for both childcare use and a small number of town staff such
as our Building officials who have daily interaction with the public. In addition to the fact the site is
owned by the town, the site also was appealing due to the fact the municipal site is appropriately
zoned for early childcare purposes, and that most town staff in the building could be re-located for
multiple years in privately owned office space in close proximity to Town Hall.
Through work by staff and a contracted architectural firm, it has been determined that total
costs for a remodel of the Community Development building and the relocation of town staff
offices to accommodate a temporary CGL facility will be in excess of $5.0 million. Those costs
include:
• Interior and exterior modifications of the Com Dev Building
• 1,000 sq. ft. expansion of current building to meet CGL-specific requests
• Creation of required outdoor play space
• Reconfiguration and improvement of parking, drop-off and access to the S. Frontage Rd.
• Lease of private office space for TOV staff displaced by CGL in the Com Dev building
• Cost of interior finishes of new private space to accommodate TOV staff
• Relocation of the community recycling center (new feasible site not yet identified)
In addition to the significant public cost of relocating CGL to the municipal building, staff and our
contracted design and construction consultants have determined that it will be unlikely to have the
municipal building ready for CGL occupancy by the desired date of August 2021 to coincide with the
typical start of school year. The design team has committed to ensure occupancy by no later than
September 15, 2021.
In an effort to find temporary space for CGL that would be more fiscally responsible of tax-payer
dollars and in closer proximity to key amenities and necessary parking, and continue to meet the
needs of CGL,Town staff undertook a parallel analysis of the town-owned Charter Bus Lot
adjacent to the Lionshead Parking Structure. The lot is comparable in size to the current CGL lot
and by utilizing a “design-build” process, the Town will be able to deliver a high-quality temporary
facility and outdoor play space to CGL by August 2021. Equally important, the town would be able
to develop the facility at Lionshead at a cost significantly less than $5M based on preliminary
estimates. Costs would include all CGL facility requirements and outdoor play spaces necessary to
October 6, 2020 - Page 30 of 99
Town of Vail Page 2
meet State licensing and all adopted building and zoning code requirements for early childcare
facilities. Advantages of the Lionshead site over the Municipal Building site include:
• Ability to be ready for CGL occupancy by August 2021
• The programmatic, design and spatial needs and desires articulated by Children of Garden
Learning faculty and board representatives can more than be accommodated in the building.
• Entirely new construction
• Improved traffic circulation for pick up and drop off compared to the Municipal Site
• Easy access S. Frontage Road without the need for turn lane improvements
• The site is centrally located in Vail with excellent vehicular access, circulation and drop-off.
• The site is within safe, convenient and easy pedestrian access to Lionshead Village and Vail
Village
• The site is in a sunny, south-facing location, similar to the existing Children’s Garden of
Learning.
• The site is located on a highly used and frequently serviced public transit route.
• No conflict with the future roundabout construction planned adjacent to Vail Health on the S.
Frontage Road
• Close proximity to Library (450’), Dobson Arena, Gore Creek Trail and walkability to Village
play areas and transit stops
• Cost effectiveness
• Highly flexible design opportunity to meet CGL and Design Review Board requirements
• Does not displace current town staff and necessitate the public to visit additional buildings for
public services
• Water and sewer tap already paid
• Availability of covered parking for CGL teachers in the Lionshead parking structure
• Childcare is a use allowed by zoning, subject to the issuance of a conditional use permit
• TIF funds may possibly be used to fund the construction
It was been a challenge to find a temporary site for CGL that can meet the programmatic and space
needs of the CGL staff and students and we appreciate CGL’s patience and input as we’ve gone
through this process. The due diligence we’ve all undertaken to both identify and eliminate a range of
site alternatives has been an important process to go through with CGL and we are excited that the
town-owned Lionshead site has risen to the top as a viable site that clearly has advantages over the
other alternatives pursued. We at the Town of Vail look forward to working closely with CGL over the
coming months to design and construct the Lionshead site for your organization and the families who
utilize CGL,and appreciate your ongoing collaborative spirit in this initiative.

SUBJECT: Parking and Transportation Task Force Recommended Winter 2020-2021 Parking
Program
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to:
Provide Town Council the Parking and Transportation Task Force (PATTF)
recommendation for Winter 2020-2021 Parking Program
Request Town Council approve the Winter 2020-2021 Parking Program
II. BACKGROUND
The Parking & Transportation Task Force met via Zoom on September 17, 2020 to review
statistics from the winter 2020 - 2021 season as well as make recommendations for Winter
2020 – 2021 Parking Program.
The Parking & Transportation Task Force was formed in 1999 in an advisory capacity and
has been enacted through the years at the direction of the Vail Town Council. In reinstating
the Task Force, the role of the 12-member group is to provide advisory input and
recommendations on parking, transit and traffic operations. Representatives are as
follows:
Representing the retail community - Meg Hanlon and Hugh Paine
Representing the restaurant community - Bill Suarez
Representing the lodging community - Brian Butts
Representing the community-at-large - Kent Johnson, Andrew Lanes and Don
Marks
Representing Vail Valley Medical Center - Darryl Flores (Cheryl Cannataro Alt.)
Representing Vail Resorts – Beth Howard and Jeff Babb
Representing the Vail Town Council - Mayor Dave Chapin and Jen Mason
The Task Force is chaired by Mayor Chapin and supported by various departments and
agencies to assist with technical expertise.

The adopted goal of the Town of Vail for parking during the winter is to provide a parking
program in which all but 15 days of overflow parking occur. This past winter there were 25
days of overflow parking up until the season ended on March 15. The previous season
there were 34 days of overflow parking to March 15. Same period transactions were down
4, however daily revenue was down 15%.
III. TASK FORCE DISCUSSIONS | WINTER 2020-2021
The Parking and Transportation Task Force for the Winter 2020-2021 reviewed:
Vail Health’s full parking supply is anticipated for availability beginning November 20, to
coincide with the opening of ski season and the beginning of managed parking. This alone
will help with the parking situation. The campus will have a total of 558 parking spaces for
visitors and staff this coming season, that is up from the 70 they have operated with the
last two season. In addition, the number of on-site construction workers will be drastically
reduced by winter season.
Covid-19 ramifications and Vail Resorts upcoming season operations were discussed.
Concerns of a drive market and hesitancy of some of the population to use ridesharing,
transit and shuttles puts pressure on the parking supply. Reservations caps should
decrease the largest peak days. The demand for getting into the outdoors to partake in
activities this summer has shown how popular places like Vail are during the pandemic.
Skiing appears to fit well into this pattern for the winter. Winter hampers Vail residents
ability to use other modes of mobility such as walking and biking to travel and this was
confirmed by the recent Citizen Survey and Climate Action committee surveys. At this time
there are many variables as to what may or may not happen. Planning for a winter with the
October 6, 2020 - Page 43 of 99
3
usual demand on parking and if need be making modifications is more prudent than trying
to back track.
One significant issue brought up which Vail Resorts and Town staff are meeting now on is
the need to spread the demand at the base areas out more evenly. This is very important
to the Vail Resorts plan to operate this winter. This means making sure the Gold Peak
base area has more transportation options to more evenly spread demand. Staff is looking
at how to increase bus service to Gold Peak, more directly, this could be similar to the
DEVO express while also greatly enhancing the pedestrian connections between the Vail
Village base and Gold Peak base.
The PATTF discussed the following items.
Supply
The Red Sandstone Parking Garage will provide 120 additional spaces every day and up
to 160 spaces during non-school days. It was recommended to continue this season with
the garage being available to Value Passes as was allowed mid-season last year. On Non-
peak days Vail Value pass holders would be charged $ 5 and Eagle County Value pass
holders would be charged $ 10. On peak days Vail Value pass holders would be charged $
10 and Eagle County Value pass holders would be charged $ 15.
Rates
The PATTF reviewed the rates and recommend the rates stay the same for the upcoming
season. It was discussed because there is so much in play as to how the season will
unfold, if modifications are needed to be made, the council can and should act quickly to
changing conditions.
Season Parking Passes
The PATTF reviewed the parking passes and recommend the pass stay the same, with
one exception. The Green employee pass was discussed to be removed for this year.
Nearly half of the passes were bought for employees on the Vail Health campus. This
coming season, Vail Health will have the full extent of spaces available. The remaining
users are likely employees working in Lionshead. These employees can be served by the
Red Sandstone Parking Garage for a lessor value.
There was also acknowledgement this year we should have no loss of parking at either
Ford Park, or the Soccer Field to stage special events due to Covid restrictions.
Looking Ahead
There was a breif discussion looking to the future as the Town Council reviews the capital
budget and potential replacement of the current parking system in 2021. There is an
opportunity to create a paradigm shift in how the town manages parking and consider a
more holistic approach to mobility. If the parking system is budgeted for replacement, there
will be more Parking and Transportation Task Force meetings to further evaluate
October 6, 2020 - Page 44 of 99
4
opportunities, discuss the concepts of mobility management and refine programs moving
forward.
IV. RECOMMENDED WINTER 2020-2021 PARKING PROGRAM
The Task Force makes the following recommendations when considering all the variables,
policies and dynamics of the Vail parking program: reducing demand, the desire to
encourage transit and carpooling use, discourage driving, align parking policies with our
environmental policies, while recognizing the need to cover costs of increased parking
operations and transit and other alternative enhancements.
Winter 2020-2021 objectives and recommendations
Require construction projects to have an employee transportation and parking plan
Continue to work with ECO Transit to support service. Work with Tanya Allen the
new ECO director, who was able to attend the meeting. The Eagle County Transit
Hub was discussed and is up and running which can be accessed through the
following link transithub.com.
Develop a marketing and messaging plan with an emphasis of COVID around the
following to reach 15-day overflow goal:
o Walking
o Don’t rent a car
o Environmental effects of driving
o Healthy lifestyles
o Reduce congestion
o Work from home, and stay in Vail to attend on-line classes or zoom meetings
verses driving during peak commuter patterns on I-70
o Promote transit use
o Ridesharing (Uber, Lyft)
o Carpooling
o Employee van pools
o Biking
o Continue to investigate first and last mile solutions
Overnight storage of cars, there was discussion that during this summer, hotels and
short-term rentals saw a larger number of cars on site due to limited air travel,
limited shuttle service, and with less group business and more of a drive market.
This will be monitored to see if the trend continues to the winter.
VI. ACTION REQUESTED
Approve or approve with modifications the Winter 2020-2021 Parking Program as
recommended by the Parking and Transportation Task Force. Approving the program is
required prior to pass sales which begin on October 26th.

SERIES OF 2020
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING TOWN OF VAIL BALLOT ISSUE 2G REGARDING
GALLAGHER STABILIZATION
WHEREAS, the Gallagher Amendment was referred to Colorado voters by the Colorado
General Assembly in 1982 in response to concerns about rising residential property taxes as a
result of the state’s rapid population growth in the 1970’s;
WHEREAS, in 1982, residential property in Colorado constituted approximately 45% of
total property value in the state, with other classes of property such as commercial property,
agriculture land, vacant land, industrial property and public utilities making u p the other 55%;
WHEREAS, the Gallagher Amendment proposed to freeze the ratio of the total value of
residential property (45%) to the total value of non-residential property (55%) in perpetuity;
WHEREAS, since 1982, the growth of residential prope rty values has outpaced the
growth of the value of non-residential property in the state, to the point residential property
currently makes up 90% of the total assessed value of all property in Vail;
WHEREAS, given the Gallagher Amendment requires residential property constitute 45%
of total statewide valuation, the Colorado General Assembly has been required to reduce the
property tax “assessment rate” on residential property from 21% in 1982 to 7.15% in 2020;
WHEREAS, it is expected continued residential growth in the State of Colorado will force
the Colorado General Assembly to further reduce the residential assessment rate from 7.15% to
approximately 5.88% in 2021;
WHEREAS, the Gallagher Amendment’s continued erosion of the residential prop erty tax
assessment rate has resulted in an almost 300% increase in the shift of the property tax burden
from homeowners to business owners;
WHEREAS, the Gallagher Amendment has eroded the property tax base which funds all
local public services;
WHEREAS, the reduction in in the assessment rate from 7.15% to approximately 5.88%
is expected to result in a revenue loss to the Town of Vail in the amount of approximately
$1,400,000 in 2022;
WHEREAS, if the Gallagher Amendment Repeal Measure passes, Senate Bill 20-223 of
the Colorado General Assembly will take effect freezing property tax assessment rates at the
current rates (7.15% for residential property and 29% for non -residential property);
WHEREAS, the Vail Town Council has placed Ballot Issue 2G on the ballot in the
November 3, 2020, Eagle County, Colorado General Mail Ballot Election , which would
authorize, but not require, the Vail Town Council to adjust Vail’s mill levy rate for the sole
purpose of maintaining revenues that may otherwise result from the G allagher Amendment or
other state imposed reductions in the ratio of assessed property tax valuations in order to avoid
the continued erosion of funding of Town of Vail services;
WHEREAS, the Colorado Fair Campaign P ractices Act authorizes local governmen ts to
October 6, 2020 - Page 48 of 99
Resolution No. 42, Series of 2020 Page 2
adopt resolutions in support of or opposition to ballot issues, and it is the desire of Vail Town
Council to express its overwhelming and strongest possible support of the Gallagher
Amendment Repeal Measure, Town of Vail Ballot Issue 2G and
WHEREAS, the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act also authorizes local
governments to distribute in normal fashion an adopted resolution regarding any ballot issue of
importance to that local government.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
VAIL, COLORADO:
Section 1. Recitals Incorporated. The above and foregoing recitals are incorporated by

Town of Vail “Gallagher” Property Tax Stabilization
Ballot Question 2G
What would a “Yes” Vote do? A “Yes” vote would allow the Town of Vail to keep the
residential assessment rate FLAT for property taxes. It does NOT increase taxes.
Who is impacted by a “Yes” vote? By voting “yes”, residents will give up a future reduction in
property taxes of $30 per year on a home valued at $500,000. Based on total residential values in Vail,
23% of values are owned by primary residents and 77% of values are second homeowners. Commercial
property owners will not be impacted.

October 6, 2020 - Page 53 of 99
How has the Gallagher Amendment impacted the Town of Vail? The Gallagher
Amendment has reduced property tax collections by $9.2 million over a 10 year period.
Why does that matter? As new residences are built or remodeled, and existing property values
increase, more demand is placed on town services such as public safety, snowplowing, free bus service,
parking and town facilities. The town is stretched to meet the demands with reduced revenue.
How would the Town of Vail benefit from the passage of 2G?
The Town of Vail has always worked hard to be fiscally prudent and good stewards of taxpayer’s
money. This ballot measure is only being considered in order to stabilize property tax collections and
the town’s general budget. It is important to know this ballot measure does not raise property taxes. It
will only help the Town maintain existing essential services as we all work towards a healthy economic
recovery.
Over a 10-year span, the Town of Vail’s revenue from residential property taxes declined by $9.2
million because of unanticipated consequences of an amendment to the state constitution called the
“Gallagher Amendment”. The Gallagher Amendment lowers the amount of residential property taxes
that a town like Vail can collect from residential property owners based on the amount of commercial
property taxes collected, rather than on the assessed value of the residential properties.

10 Year Loss of Property Tax Revenue (000s)
October 6, 2020 - Page 54 of 99
The continual loss of millions of dollars in residential property tax revenue to the town in future
years will eventually have a negative impact on the essential services provided to you and the Vail
community. These negative impacts will include reductions in funding for local police, fire and
emergency services, public works, snowplowing and ongoing road maintenance. The loss of revenue
could also impact public library services and the town’s free bus service.
Why doesn’t the town just cut their budget rather than ask for more money?
The Town Council is asking this ballot question because of the significant drop in sales tax
revenue due to the coronavirus. If approved, the ballot measure would significantly help stabilize the
town’s overall revenue without raising taxes and prevent an eventual reduction in quantity and quality
of town’s services. The town has already cut 10% of operating budgets ($4.5 million), used reserves of
$6.3 million, and deferred $18M in capital projects due to the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Why is Vail asking for this when the State of Colorado is also asking voters to
repeal the Gallagher Amendment? Wouldn’t it accomplish the same goal?
Yes, if the state ballot measure passes, the same goal of stabilizing property tax collections is
achieved. However, the Town of Vail is asking voters to keep control with their local government should
the state’s ballot question fail.
Who else has asked to “de-Gallagherize” property taxes?
There have been a number of local and regional entities that have been successful in this same
ballot question as more and more residents are understanding the problems created by the
unanticipated consequences of the Gallagher Amendment to the State Constitution. Local entities that
have been successful include Vail Recreation District, Colorado Mountain College, Greater Eagle Fire,
and Eagle County Paramedic Service. For this year’s November 2020 ballot, Vail voters will also see this
from Eagle County and the State of Colorado.

asked that Town Council look into the ability of the Town to administrate
eviction notice timeframes. This specific issue is not a consideration for the

October 6, 2020 - Page 68 of 99
Town of Vail Page 3
Land Use and Development Goal #3
• Develop a streamlined design review process and include in regulation updates.
VII. CRITERIA FOR REVIEW
1. The extent to which the text amendment furthers the general and specific
purposes of the zoning regulations; and
The general purposes of the zoning regulations are for “promoting the health, safety,
morals, and general welfare of the town, and to promote the coordinated and harmonious
development of the town in a manner that will conserve and enhance its natural
environment and its established character as a resort and re sidential community of high
quality”. This text amendment is intended to advance these purposes by providing clear
standards in the zoning code that is consistent and less ambiguous.
2. The extent to which the text amendment would better implement and better
achieve the applicable elements of the adopted goals, objectives, and policies
outlined in the Vail comprehensive plan and is compatible with the development
objectives of the town; and
The proposed text amendment will provide staff, as well as anyone who references the
code, clear standards for planning and development review that can be applied
consistently.. The clarification of this section will help better implement and better
achieve the adopted goals, objectives and policies in Vail.
3. The text amendment demonstrates how conditions have substantially changed
since the adoption of the subject regulation and how the existing regulation is no
longer appropriate or is inapplicable; and
The PA Zone District section of the code was changed in 1999, but the table was never
corrected to match. The correction is necessary to have consistent application of the code
and matching regulations.
4. The extent to which the text amendment provides a harmonious, convenient,
workable relationship among land use regulations consistent with municipal
development objectives; and
By increasing transparency in the zoning code, the proposed text amendment would

consistent with municipal development objectives. The text amendment does not conflict
with other existing land use documents or municipal development objectives.

Subject:Proposed Text Amendment for Minor SDD amendments
Hi Greg:
I noticed the proposed changes being proposed by staff related to Minor SDD notice. I think that it is great that staff is
updating the code where it finds issues with the code language.
I have a couple of comments and questions about the proposed.
1. Why would you limit the change to just the minor amendment process and not also include this change for the
Major Amendment process as well? There have been instances in the past where a notice mistake was made
because the notice requirements for SDD were slightly different than those for any other quasi-judicial
application and it would seem to make sense to update that section as well.
2. It seems cumbersome of have notice provisions for SDDs embedded in that chapter when most people refer to
the administration chapter to understand notice requirements. I’d recommend you move the SDD notice
provisions into the administration chapter so that all notice provisions are consolidated in one place.
Thank you for considering my input and please share with the PEC and Town Council.

B AC K G RO UND: Construction activity throughout Eagle County is continuing its upward trend,
even throughout the pandemic, and remains to be a critical economic driver within the region. Due
to an overall shortage of local skilled labor, homeowners, developers, and designers are seeing
assistance from contractors located outside of the region - even out of state. This ordinance will
ensure that all contractors, local or otherwise, that request to perform work within the Town of Vail
are duly qualified to complete such work.

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING AND REENACTING CHAPTER 7 OF TITLE 4 OF
THE VAIL TOWN CODE, RELATING TO CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION, AND
ENACTING A NEW SECTION 10-1-14 OF THE VAIL TOWN CODE, RELATING
TO THE BOARD OF APPEALS
Summary:
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Vail Town Council
regarding adoption of an Ordinance that will amend the Town Municipal Code as
recommended by Community Development and the Building and Fire Code Appeals
Board. The members of the Board making this recommendation are:
• Mark J. Mueller, PE Structural Engineer
• Kathy Langenwalter, RA Architect
• Mark Hollenbeck General Contractor
• Steve Loftus Mechanical Engineer/Contractor
• Rollie Kjesbo General Contractor
• Kyle Webb, RA Architect
• Mark Donaldson, RA Architect
In order to ensure contractors intending to perform construction work within the Town of
Vail are duly qualified to complete such work, it has become apparent that the existing
code language and processes involved with contractor registration are insufficient.
This ordinance will require that all contractors be licensed and/or hold certification within
their trade to perform construction work within the Town of Vail. This will ensure that
the residents of the Town of Vail, and the general public, are receiving the services of
qualified contractors.

Background:
Currently, even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town of Vail and all
municipalities located in the Eagle/Vail Valley are experiencing an upward trend in
construction activity. During the week of Sept. 14 thru 18 alone, Community
Development received a total of seventy-three (73) permit applications. The sheer
volume of this activity is forcing developers, builders and homeowners alike to seek
assistance from outside of our local communities. Thus, a lot of the applications being
receiving are from companies located throughout Colorado, along the front range, as
well as out of state.
Unfortunately, the State of Colorado only regulates licensing requirements for a handful
of contractors: Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Alarm and Fire Suppression. Thus, there is no
mechanism in place to ensure that any other type of contractor, local or otherwise,
possesses the knowledge and experience essential to perform the tasks required of
them. Furthermore, it has been discovered that the other municipalities within the
Valley are experiencing the same trend.
The proposed ordinance and subsequent change to the Municipal Code would allow
Vail the opportunity to take the lead and set a standard that can be followed throughout
the Valley. The municipalities that are located within the Roaring Fork Valley already
have a contractor certification program in place that works very well for them. This
ordinance provides for a similar style of certification and registration system.
With it, when contractors register with the Town, they will be required to provide proof of
successful completion of a National Standard Contractor Certification Exam. These
exams are intended to ascertain the knowledge that an individual possesses in relation
to the codes and actual constructability of projects.
The International Code Council – developers and publishers of the International Codes
that the Town has adopted – provide such exams. The Town would also accept proof
of a passing score of any other equivalent contractor exam. This could include the
Roaring Fork Valley B.E.S.T. certification, certification or licensing from another state
that regulates contractors, or any other certification deemed equivalent. This alone will
provide the necessary information needed to ensure that the contractors performing
work in Vail are qualified to do so.
Electrical, plumbing, fire alarm and fire suppression contractors will be exempt from this
requirement as they are already regulated by the State and are required to provide their
State license number when registering with the Town.
This ordinance also ensures that the duties and procedures of the Building and Fire
Code Appeals Board, and the language associated with the Board, is located within the
proper Title, Chapter and Section(s) of the Town of Vail Municipal Code.

Community Development and the Building and Fire Code Appeals Board, in a
unanimous vote of 7-0, feel that the adoption of this ordinance is necessary to ensure
that every project within the Town is being performed by capable, knowledgeable
contractors. This also clarifies how the Town of Vail can verify the qualifications of
contractors requesting to perform construction work. As mentioned, Vail’s neighboring
municipalities are very interested in this and eager to follow suit. We propose that Vail
takes the lead.
Proposed adoption date: May 1, 2021 – This will allow for 6 months of outreach and
education to all contractors. Also, it will allow for 18 months prior to affecting any
currently registered contractor.
Action Requested:
Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No.__,
Series of 2020 based on the recommendation from Community Development and the
Building and Fire Code Appeals Board.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
