6. Town Manager Report
Robson congratulated the community for its leadership in climate action efforts upon being
given an A-list rating, one of only 88 cities in the world to receive the designation from an
industry group. Robson reviewed the current health crisis starting with the executive order he
signed on November 23, 2020 limiting private gatherings to a single household stating the
message was we wanted to avoid being placed in Red category by the state. The town had
been very busy since the mountain had opened and compliance with Vail's mask mandate was
very high. Police would respond to complaints. Transit operations continued to be a challenge
due to varying guidance communicated by the state. Capacity had been reduced by 50% on the
buses. Extra buses are in use on busy routes. Masks are mandated on the bus and at bus
stops. Robson stated there was significant support for a 5 Star Program to be implemented in
Eagle County. The 5 Star Program was initiated in Mesa County and it allowed for higher
occupancy for restaurants and other businesses based on safety protocols. Robson noted
Bruno had been coordinating the town's efforts and had involved leadership from Avon, Eagle
and Gypsum. Robson shared there had been some discussion about the possibility of bringing
in food trucks to help provide additional services for guests.

Funding Memo - Ambient Entertainment
January 19, 2021 - Page 21 of 66
To: Vail Town Council
From: Economic Development Department
Date: 11/14/2021
Subject: Event Funding Agreement for Ambient Entertainment
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memo is to provide information on the 2021 Ambient Family and
Music Entertainment Program and to request that Council authorize the Town Manager
to enter into an agreement with Resort Entertainment Group for Ambient Entertainment.
BACKGROUND
In the summer of 2020, the Vail Town Council approved an event funding request for a
village entertainment program. The program consisted of pop up concerts produced by
High Altitude Entertainment occurring in Vail Village, Lionshead and at Ford Park Lower
Bench. The program was well received and subsequently the CSE received proposals
from High Altitude Entertainment and Resort Entertainment Group to continue this type
of programming in 2021. The two proposals received were larger in scale and cost than
deemed appropriate based on budget, public health guidelines and the goals of the
town. Town staff subsequently worked with Resort Entertainment Group and High
Altitude Entertainment to modify their proposals to fit within the stated goals and
approved budget.
Diane Moudy from Resort Entertainment Group and Scott Rednor from High Altitude
Entertainment were asked to collaborate on a 2021 program that would address the
goals of the town. The two parties agreed that Resort Entertainment Group would be
the primary producer of the winter programming running from January 1 through Vail
Mountain closing day. The talent available through Resort Entertainment Group is
diverse and adaptable to performing and entertaining in a winter environment and
strolling setting.
The successful program that was piloted from opening day through the new year’s
holiday, includes a strolling musician or duo in each village as well as family themed
characters such as the dancing trees, snowman, penguin, snow princess, etc.
Entertainment is being booked three days per week on non-holiday weeks and up to 7
days per week during peak periods. Entertainers are in the village from approximately
1:00 – 4:00 pm. The strolling and mobile entertainers are able to adapt to the changing
traffic patterns in the villages to both create space when needed for public health and
create a positive guest experience by moving to certain areas at other times.
January 19, 2021 - Page 22 of 66
Town of Vail Page 2
Town staff will continue to work with both groups to identify the goals, budget, schedule,
and entertainment for the summer months. A new contract will be created for summer
programming. A similar approach will be taken for the early winter programming of the
2021/2022 season.
The total amount of funding approved for the Ambient Entertainment Program for the
2021 Fiscal Year is $300,000, of which $120,000 is being allocated for the winter
program running through 4/15/2021. The summer program and early winter program will
be contracted closer to the season in order to best design the programming to take
public health orders into account. The subsequent contracts and event plans will be
brought to council prior to execution.
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement with Resort Entertainment
Group, on a form approved by the Town Attorney, to produce the winter ambient
entertainment program, in an amount not to exceed $120,000.

Memo
January 19, 2021 - Page 24 of 66
To: Town Council
From: Tom Kassmel, Town Engineer
Date: 1/19/21
Subject: Children’s Garden of Learning Modular Vender Award
I. SUMMARY
The Town of Vail issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) this past fall for a modular
vender to construct modular buildings for the temporary relocation of the Children’s
Garden of Learning (CGL) from Middle Creek Lot 3 to the Lionshead Parking Structure’s
“Charter Bus Lot”. The RFP included two conceptual options for the venders to
price/evaluate and encouraged venders to provide additional alternates that would
potentially be more cost effective and still meet the program goals and intent.
The Town received 8 proposals with varying options ranging from $500k to $1.6M.
After a thorough review of each proposal, including interviews, town staff identified
Palomar Modular Buildings (Palomar) as the preferred vender. Since that time the
Design Team, Pierce Austin Architects, CGL, Palomar, and staff, have refined the
modular design and worked to define a contract price.
The contract price is based on the January 11th PEC approved plans and includes five
modular buildings with interior finishes and the necessary mechanical, electrical,
plumbing, and fire protection systems. The site and utility work along with the
architectural exterior and roofing design elements will be by separate contract and
completed by a General Contractor.
The anticipated final contract price is expected not to exceed $760,000; with the an
optional deduct of $29,494 to include Vinyl Coated Gypsum (VCG-a standard modular
finish) in lieu of typical drywall, paint and texture.
Staff recommends awarding the CGL modular building contract to Palomar Modular
Buildings in an amount not to exceed $760,000; and to not pursue the VCG deduct
option in consideration of the overall quality and design of the building, and the efforts
the town is taking to make sure it does not look or feel like a modular building. This
contract amount is within the total construction budget of $2M.

Town of Vail Page 2
II. NEXT STEPS
The project is anticipating a DRB approval on January 20th, which will allow the project
to continue to move forward into final design and final construction documents. Once
final design is complete town staff will issue a public Request For Bids from General
Contractors for the remaining architectural and site work on or about February 15th, with
a Bid Opening on March 8th, and a Council Contract Award on March 16th.
The project will continue at an accelerated pace to keep on a very tight timeline which is
scheduled as follows;
Modular construction by Palomar:
Award Modular Contract January 2021
Modular shop drawings & Approval (4 weeks) February 2021
State modular plan review and permitting (6 weeks) March/April 2021
Construction of modular buildings (4 weeks) April/May 2021
Delivery & Installation (4-6 weeks) May/June 2021
Architectural & Site Construction by General Contractor (TBD):
Award General Contractor Contract March 2021
Site prep & Utilities April/May 2021
Architectural design elements & Grading June/July 2021
Project Completion & CGL Move-In August 2021
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Town Council direct the Town manager to enter into a contract,
approved by the Town attorney, with Palomar Modular Buildings in an amount not to
exceed $760,000.

Subject: EC Alert Changes
PURPOSE
To present information to the council about upcoming changes to the EC Alert format that will
change the way Vail residents and guests receive non-emergency messaging such as road and area
alerts.
BACKGROUND
Everbridge was selected as the messaging vendor by the E911 Authority Board in 2014, chosen to
replace the previously used ‘Roam Secure’ software. This contract is renewed annually and paid for
by the E-911 Board at roughly $28,000/year. This contract and billing model is set to change with
our contract renewal in March 2021, we must change our messaging practices to avoid an
approximate tripling of that cost.
Since the cost increase is due to the sheer volume of SMS messaging that the communication center
sends out, the simplest and most efficient way to make these changes is to use the Everbridge App
which allows us to send the same volume of messaging as we do currently through the app, with no
added cost.
DISCUSSION
Since the cost increase is due to the sheer volume of SMS messaging that the communication center
sends out, the simplest and most efficient way to make these changes is to use the Everbridge App
which allows us to send the same volume of messaging as we do currently through the app, with no
added cost.
Key benefits are:
• Longer messages will be received in the app in their entirety, as text messages we are character
limited and when we go over the limit, the subscriber has to click a link to see the whole
message.
• Messages displayed through the app can include images & hyperlinks
• All notifications show up in one feed without cluttering your text message feed.
• Users can manage their account from the app. Update your subscriptions,
profile information & contact methods.

Vail Town Council
RE: Pre housing development agreement
There is no creativeness in this document It reads as though the
default developer wrote it over a few beers with the many housing
special interests. The owner of the land, which was hastily rezoned
without addressing the herd of bighorn sheep that call that land
home, has not been involved. The default developer has
development rights to a parcel he does not own. It would probably
behove the town to buy off these two parties and start work free of
those limiting factors. The town could then think outside the box.
The Children’s Garden of Learning (CGL), a premier early childhood
education center, now located on Lot 3 in Vail, does not have to move
from this perfect location. I believe they serve more than 60 families
so that the parents can go to work. That replaces an entire housing
project! The parents are ideal employees who already have housing
so you get a two for one benefit for the town at a hugely lower price.
The qualities this site provides for CGL can not be duplicated in Vail:
sunny exposure, just off roundabout, immediate access to natural
area, plenty of parking exclusively for them and a safe, charming
building. Council members have stated the building does not meet
code but that is true of all of our homes and even the council
chambers. The state licenses childcare and they determine if the
building is safe or they close it down. Council members have stated
the relocation of CGL to the east end of the Lionshead Parking
structure is enthusiastically welcomed by CGL but that is only in the
face of threats to just throw them out of their current location if they
oppose the move. The town will build a temporary modular structure
but CGL has to cover all the moving costs. I believe this valuable
asset will be forced to leave Vail in five years. Instead the town could
leave them in their current location and add a small amount to the
existing structure so CGL can accommodate a few more children
thus freeing even more people who already have housing to work.
Moving CGL is a huge expense to the Vail taxpayer and terrible for
January 19, 2021 - Page 49 of 66
the families and children it serves. The current proposal defies
common sense.
The East end of the Lionshead Parking structure would better serve
the town as employee housing.
The reason providing housing is so difficult in the Gore Valley is the
ridiculous value of land in the Gore Valley because it is so limited.
The redevelopment of the East phase of Timber Ridge with so much
surface parking and so few units because they didn’t have the money
to “do it right” was inexcusable. The West phase must be done right
and could be the final housing project to be built by government in
Vail . Structured parking must start below the level of the frontage
road and the height could be what is necessary to meet the housing
need. Modular building blocks are probably not appropriate. It must
be put out to bid. We need more creativity than has recently been
shown and a panel of citizens and council must be included. That
panel would bring a proposal, based on a list of goals from council,
to the town’s process. We don’t want another barracks looking
building on the north side of our valley.
At this point, the bighorn sheep are not protected at all and the Town
of Vail is covering almost all of the immediate costs of improving their
habitat.
In summary, buy out those involved in Booth Heights, leave CGL on
Lot 3 and add a little square footage, form a citizen’s panel to oversee
the maximum redevelopment of the west side of Timber Ridge which
must be put out to bid. Each of these steps will accommodate more
employees for Vail at reduced costs while the Town retains the land.
Plus it would protect our open spaces from being rezoned for
housing.
Always available for more discussion which has been missing in this
entire process.

Subject: Response to Letter of January 17, 2021
Good Morning –
The Town is in receipt of your letter of January 17, 2021, expressing your feedback on the pre‐development agreement
by and between the Town and Triumph Development. Thank you for sharing and participating in the discussions.
For more than a year the Vail Town Council has made it a priority to achieve the Town’s adopted housing and
environmental stewardship goals, especially as the two relate to development of the Booth Heights Parcel. The strategy
in doing so has been to ensure a win/win/win outcome for the Vail community, Triumph Development, and Vail
Resorts. Only recently did Vail Resorts announce that they needed to step aside from the partnership to focus 100% of
their resources on safely and effectively operating Vail Mountain this winter season. However, prior to making this
announcement, the needs of Vail Resorts were articulated and well understood.
The pre‐development agreement takes the needs of Vail Resorts into consideration. Should Vail Resorts decide to re‐
engage in the discussions at a later, the Vail Town Council has assured that opportunity is not lost and insisted upon
provisions within the development agreement that could be used to satisfy Vail Resorts’ needs. The Vail Town Council
has been community‐minded, progressive, and forward‐thinking in this regard and left a door wide open for a
January 19, 2021 - Page 51 of 66
2
partnership with Vail Resorts. The Town’s interest in acquiring the title, through a collaborative partnership, is well
understood.
The Town staff has worked closely with the Board and parent group of the Children’s Garden of Learning. A temporary
site for the early childhood education center was selected and a new building designed with the Board and parent’s
involvement all along the way. At the direction of the Vail Town Council, the town staff has worked to ensure that not
only does the Children’s Garden of Learning have a future in Vail, but also that other early childhood educations centers
can be accommodated in Town to meet the existing and growing demand for quality early childhood education. The Vail
Town Council very much understands and values the importance of early childhood education in Vail and their actions
demonstrate that understanding. The Vail Town Council has consistently shared their position on this matter publicly.
Thank you for your recognition of the need for creativity. The lack of creativity of the past has contributed to the
circumstances the Town currently faces and it is creativity that will likely move the community forward. The Vail InDEED
Program is a great example of useful creativity. The Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority thought far
outside the box and took the risks and bold actions to try something new. In doing so, they devised a uniquely different
program unheard of anywhere else in the country and have been recognized for their leadership ever since. The
creativity in the involvement of Triumph Development and Vail Resorts in the Vail Town Council’s Alternate Housing
Sites Initiative, through a collaborative partnership which seeks a win/win/win outcome, is likely the answer and the
leadership needed.
Again, the Town is in receipt of your letter of January 17, 2021.
Enjoy your day,

Dear Town Council:
Thanks so much for moving ahead with an imaginative proposal to protect our herd of Bighorn sheep.
But I would strongly suggest securing all rights to this property in the exchange, not just the “development rights”.
Otherwise this could leave future interpretations up to lawyers, just as Congress does when they pass vaguely written
legislation.
Thanks,

Hello Town Council Members:
Thank you for all your hard work on this. Seems we are almost there.
The point of permanency is important. Hopefully you will initiate a purchase agreement for the property and it will
become a permanent part of Vail Open Space! That would complete this effort and leave a legacy for Vail!
Sincerely,
Lynn and John Gottlieb

So happy we have a win‐win on sheep protection and employee housing close to town and not impacting bus schedule.
I would also like to comment on charging any fee to nbsee the Magic Lights in Ford Park. I am not alone in feeling it
should be free, offering a Covid safe activity during this time. I think it would be beneficial to Vail Resorts & TOV “good
will“ reputation to be able to do offer this because of Covid financial impacts.
Thank you for offering a platform to comment, Judy Rodriguez East Vail resident (since 1976)
