PROCLAMATION NO. 2, SERIES OF 2021
IN RECOGNITION OF VAIL’S TRAILBLAZER AWARD RECIPIENTS
SALLY AND BILL HANLON
WHEREAS, the Town of Vail celebrated its 50th birthday of incorporation as a municipality
on August 23, 2016 with numerous festivities taking place, including the debut of the Vail
Trailblazer Award Program, a civic recognition whereby the Vail Town Council acknowledges an
individual/s that exemplifies the spirit and fortitude in making Vail a great community through
selfless contributions of time and talent which have made a lasting impact; and
WHEREAS, newlyweds Bill and Sally Hanlon moved from Boston to Crested Butte to Vail
Colorado, in pursuit of their ski town dream, arriving in November 1966 to open the Nu Gnu
nightclub in the lowest level of Vail’s Clock Tower Building; while hosting at the busy Clock
Tower Restaurant, and then opened The Emporium gift shop in 1968, and by 1970, their first
shop had evolved to become Wild Bill’s Emporium (now in its 53rd year on Wall Street), and in
coming years, Bill and Sally also opened Vail Village Travel Agency (established in 1976, still
operating as Talbot Travel), then Vail Boot and Shoe (opened 1982, still operating in its original
Meadow Drive location) and Bridge Street Antiques (1982-85); and
WHEREAS, one of the Hanlon’s early priorities was taking action on their vision and
commitment to education and the establishment of schools in Vail to accommodate the growing
community, while Sally joined with Joe Staufer to lobby and help lead the charge to open a
school in Vail, persuading the community and Eagle County School District to support a
neighborhood school with the opening of Red Sandstone Elementary in 1976, and both
continued their commitment to education by spending a combined 22 years as members of the
board of a second Vail school, Vail Mountain School; and
WHEREAS, the Hanlon’s were also very dedicated to civic and community involvement;
Sally’s leadership served both local government and with the ski company, when she served 10
years on the Vail town liquor licensing authority and on the board of the first Vail Local
Marketing District, as well as serving as a member of the Vail Resort Association. Bill served on
the Vail’s Planning Commission and Design Review boards for several years in the 1970s and
March 16, 2021 - Page 7 of 172
supported the creation of a pedestrian core, and returned to serve the board in the 2000s; his
talents and leadership were also seen with his role on the first Vail Religious Foundation which
built the Interfaith Chapel; and he was an active supporter of the Vail Jazz Foundation helping to
recruit the inner-city Washington Prep High School Jazz and Marching band from south LA to
perform at Vail’s America Days; and finally, Bill was an instrumental organizer of the Jerry Ford
Invitational golf tournament, an event that provided a great opportunity to share the town they
love with Betty and Jerry Ford, with whom they became close friends; and
WHEREAS, the Hanlons have never been tempted to leave their treasured Vail Village
home, one where they have raised their family, daughter Meg and son Joe, and enjoy their
grandchildren, and have often shared with newcomers to Vail, as the couple’s style and charm,
integrity and steadfast pioneering effort over the decades has helped create Vail as the “finest
ski town in the world”; the Hanlons were the early believers and investors in the Vail community
and over fifty years later have become long-time prominent business owners and amazing
alpine skiing ambassadors, a beloved couple who is admired by many who have met them
along the way; and
NOW, THEREFORE, be it proclaimed by the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Vail,
that the sixth recipients of the Vail Trailblazer Award are Sally and Bill Hanlon, two pioneers of
early Vail who have demonstrated over the past 50 years their courage, leadership, vision and
commitment to enhance Vail’s social, recreational, cultural, educational and environmental
values that define this community, this is our tribute to both of you as we extend our sincerest
appreciation for your passion and contributions to the betterment of the Town of Vail and
broader community.
Dated this 16th day of March 2021.

session.

Booth Heights project and the Middle Creek Lot 3 project legally the citizens cannot speak to the
Booth Heights project anymore.

agreement stating the agreement was setting up Vail Resorts the opportunity to still continue to
build on their Booth Heights parcel.

partner with the town and community. He stated the Booth Heights plans would stay with the
company.

Resorts to come back to the table for negotiations. She stated more public comment would be
allowed during drafting of development agreement.

comments heard this evening, including Section 4.
Langmaid would be more comfortable setting the pre-development agreement aside for two
weeks to address some of the community concerns and re-build community trust.
Coggin suggested issues raised this evening could be addressed in a development agreement
with additional public comment. He supported moving forward with approval of the resolution.
Mason would like to take two weeks for refinements.
Chapin preferred to move forward and spend more time in working out the development
agreement.

To: Town Council
From: Public Works Department
Date: March 16, 2021
Subject: Resolution No. 14 Series of 2021 - Amendment to the Vail Transportation Master
Plan’s Access Management Plan
I. SUMMARY
The Town of Vail, in conjunction with the Colorado Department of Transportation,
completed the Vail Transportation Master Plan (VTMP), adopted by the Town Council in
2009 by Resolution No. 12 Series of 2009.
The VTMP included an Access Management Plan (AMP) for the Frontage Roads in
Appendix I. The AMP was created cooperatively with CDOT to identify current and
potential future access points along the Frontage Roads, thus becoming the guideline
for all access points along the Frontage Roads.
As a result of the design and approval of the Vail South Frontage Road Roundabout
Project, the AMP needs to be updated to reflect the proposed improvements. CDOT
and the Town of Vail have approved the improvements which will add a roundabout and
four (4) right-in/right-out access points, and have also conceptually agreed to one (1)
additional future right-in/right-out access point at the western end of the Evergreen
Lodge Property (See attached plan). Since the AMP is a part of the VTMP, an
amendment to the VTMP by Resolution is necessary.

welfare of the Town and conserves the Town’s natural environment and its established

Subject: Booth Lake Trailhead Parking Lot
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this session is to provide the Vail Town Council with the pros and cons of closing
the Booth Lake Trailhead parking lot for trial period during the summer hiking season of 2021.
II. BACKGROUND
In the fall of 2020 after experiencing a significant increase in trail usage, Council directed staff to
work in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service to reduce the impacts of overcrowding at the
Booth Lake Trail including resource degradation, parking congestion, diminishing guest
experience, trash, and traffic. Since then, staff has met three times with the USFS, in meetings
facilitated by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Volpe Center, to discuss the overuse issues
at the East Vail trailheads. At the February 2 Council meeting staff was asked to provide the pros
and cons of closing the Booth Lake Trailhead parking.
III. STATUS
To meet the objective of reducing vehicle trips on Booth Falls Road for summer 2021, staff
proposes the following strategies:
• Reduce parking issues
• Reduce traffic and congestion
• Reduce speeds
• Reduce / disperse trail use
• Enhance pedestrian safety
Based on Council’s request, Town staff is recommending the following actions to safely close the
Booth Lake Trailhead parking lot which is on Town property for a trial period during the summer
of 2021 hiking season.
• Close parking lot on the last day of Vail Mountain School, currently scheduled for June 2nd
• Close Booth Falls Road to Shuttle vehicles by signage prohibiting use
• Allow shuttle and concierge drop-off at TOV bus turn -around on North Frontage Road
• Place signage and temporary partial barriers on each side of Booth Falls Road to
discourage hikers from driving north.
March 16, 2021 - Page 44 of 172
Town of Vail Page 2
• $25,000 Education campaign to notify potential hikers of lot closure and alternatives,
including use of TOV buses from Village Transportation Center. Promote the use of
HikeVail.Net to encourage use of other trails not located in the Wilderness areas. Continue
to work with the Hiking Project and AllTrails app to de-prioritize Booth Lake Trail on their
sites.
• Add signage to Mann’s Ranch Road prohibiting hiker parking
• Evaluate the outcomes of trial period prior to the opening of Vail Mountain School on
August 9th, which would be the August 3rd Council meeting. This may be too brief a trial
period as hiker numbers are high through October.
• Vail Mountain School is open to having hikers park in their lot, although they expect to
lease out their building and parking lot to several events this summer.
Pros of closing Booth Lake Trailhead Parking:
• Reduce traffic on Booth Falls Road
• Enhance pedestrian safety with less vehicles on road
• Reduce parking and congestion issues for residents
• Slower average speeds of vehicles are to be expected as it will be primarily only residents
and their guests using the roadway.
Cons of closing trailhead parking:
• Reduced customer service perception by hikers
• Frustrations by citizens that drive from their homes in Vail to the trailhead.
• Dogs are not allowed on TOV buses (due to federal regulations), so they would not be
able to use this trail, unless utilizing available parking at Vail Mountain School.
• Limited ability to communicate with hikers from out of town, who are primarily driven to
site by social media platforms.
• Might cause an increase in (illegal) parking pressures in other areas of Town and on
Frontage Road.
Alternative Strategy:
Parking would still be eliminated, and a turnaround painted in the lot to allow for shuttle
and passenger vehicle drop-offs in what had been parking spaces and the driveway, see diagram
of proposed turnaround areas (Attachment A). This would not reduce traffic congestions as much
as closing the lot and could increase the potential for illegal parking in the old trailhead lot. There
maybe an increased perception of customer service, but would still require a long shuttle for the
drivers of passengers vehicles.
Additional Near-Term Strategies planned for spring/summer 2021:
• Post Trail Hosts at top and bottom of Booth Falls Road on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
to assist hikers with parking, or to direct them to the Village parking structure or another
hiking opportunity.
• Traffic calming – add striping on each side of Booth Falls Road like other residential areas,
to slow traffic and provide a walking path for hikers accessing the trailhead.
• Advertise that buses and hotel shuttles are available to access trailheads.
• Add Vail Mountain School lot availability to the Vail Parking on-line Calendar.
• Improve the information signs at Booth Falls Road (currently too much info in small font).
• Add no trail parking signs on Manns Ranch Road.
• Add bike racks at trail head
• Support Friends of the Eagles Nest Wilderness to have staffed information tables and
trash bags at the trailheads this summer ($1,000).
March 16, 2021 - Page 45 of 172
Town of Vail Page 3
• Increase social media attention to the Leave No Trace principles.
• Implement an additional trail clean-up program as needed, as was done in 2020.
• Conduct training and education for Concierges at lodging properties.
• Add Leave No Trace principles to reprint of TOV Hiking map.
• Continue to support the educational efforts of the Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance
through volunteer promotion, financial and media support.
• Submit a letter of request to the USFS to begin the first stages of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). This would begin evaluation and review of the current
wilderness management capacity designation. Management tools to be evaluated would
include appropriateness and feasibility of a permit system to regulate the numbers of
hikers and additional controls at the Booth Falls and other East Vail trailheads, as well as
appropriate winter closure opportunities for wildlife.
Future Strategies:
• Improve bus turnaround at VMS to better accommodate for hotel shuttles.
• VMS might be willing to install a gate at their parking lot in the future.
• Budget for a permanent restroom in 2022 budget.
• Install bus turnaround at Main Gore Drive / Bighorn Road – for future “Trail Bus.”
• Limiting the number of parking spots available at VMS (perhaps paired with a reservation
system) during the summer/when school is not in session
IV. NEXT STEPS
Town staff intends to implement the near-term strategies beginning in the spring / summer of
2021, and to evaluate the potential for future strategies through the fall. Based on Council direction
today staff is prepared to conduct a trial closure of the Booth Lake Trailhead parking lot, for the
summer 2021 hiking season starting June 3, 2021. Staff is prepared to begin implementing this
experiment immediately.

Dear Council Members. I am the Chair of the Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance, formerly known as
the Friends of the Eagles Nest Wilderness. ESWA is a local, all volunteer nonprofit that works with
the local USFS to help protect and preserve the Eagles Nest Wilderness and the other Wilderness
Areas in Eagle and Summit Counties.
I am writing to support your staff’s recent recommendations on ways to help relieve the increasing
congestion on the Booth Lake Trail and parking area. Among your staff’s recommendations is to
March 16, 2021 - Page 48 of 172
provide ESWA $1000 to support its trailhead hosting program. This program provides trailhead hosts
at the Booth Lake trailhead, other popular trailheads in East Vail, and elsewhere in Eagle County.
Our trailhead hosts greet visitors, answer questions, promote Leave No Trace principles, and
educate visitors about the Wilderness Area they are about to enter. We believe our trailhead host
program is both effective and appreciated by the Wilderness visitors, many of whom have never
been in a Wilderness Area before.
We also support your staff’s recommendation to request that the USFS begin a NEPA process to
evaluate the development of a permit system for the Booth Lake trail, and perhaps other East Trail
trails. The Booth Lake trail is spectacular, but is being loved to death. We are very fortunate to have
the Eagles Nest Wilderness in our backyard, but with ever-increasing visitor use, we must take care
not to destroy the very Wilderness values that attract us.
ESWA looks forward to being a partner with the Town to help protect and preserve the wild places
that we all love.
Warm regards,
Mike Browning

As a Vail resident I am in favor of limiting the number of cars and hikers at Booth Falls. It is sad that I
have to avoid one of my favorite trails all summer long because of vacationers flocking to the area. I
love this proposal to limit use.

As a full-time Vail resident, I think this is a great idea to force respect of our trails by limiting access.
As far as reducing the number of dogs on the trails because of no dogs allowed on buses, that’s just fine! Too many
dog owners think they don’t need to follow the posted signs of leashing or picking up their dog’s waste, as outlined
in the Eagle County Animal Services ordinances. And why not? Very few people correct others’ wrong doing.
Trail stewards is a great idea. Maybe those incremental fines will affect change.
I was real tired of the fake “I’m sorry”, from owners who think everyone will love their dog to approach others last
year, and was incensed at witnessing people feed the goats and marmots at the lake.
Reducing trail capacity and making access a little more difficult will reduce erosion, littering/pollution, and
harassment of wildlife by both humans and their pets.
I’m for it!
I do not authorize my comments to be published except anonymously.

Presentation
March 16, 2021 - Page 119 of 172
TO: Vail Town Council
FROM: Finance Department
DATE: March 16, 2021
SUBJECT: 2020 Results and 2021 Supplemental Appropriation
I. SUMMARY
The completion of the 2020 financials sets the stage for this supplemental appropriation of 2021
with the identification of capital projects that span more than one year and need to have funding
re-appropriated to the current year. In Tuesday evening’s session, you will be asked to approve
the first reading of Ordinance No. 5 making supplemental appropriations and adjustments to the
2020 budget.
II. DISCUSSION
With stay at home orders and business closures taking place in March, Town Council
immediately implemented the town’s 6-level recession plan in anticipation of a decline in sales
tax collections, the town’s largest revenue source. The budget was adjusted to the third level,
“Significant” in March based on a projected 14.5% decrease in revenues, or nearly $10 million
less than the 2020 original budget. By June, Town Council directed staff to move to the fourth
level “Crisis,” anticipating a 21% decrease in revenues, or $15.3 million. Each level included a
combination of expenditure cuts and use of reserves to offset revenue impacts.
Through cost-saving measures of $3.2 million, sales tax exceeding expectations by $2.5 million,
and support from the federal CARES Act of $2.8 million, the town was able offset revenue
losses of $5.3 million while providing $2.7 million in relief to the community and local
businesses. At the end of the day, the town was able to get through this challenging year
without dipping into reserves for operations.
2020 RESULTS
Across all funds, total revenue of $73.9 million was down 8%, or $6.3 million, from the prior
year, but up 3.5%, or $2.5 million from budget, mainly due to sales tax collections of $25.0
million, down 15% from 2019 and up 11.0% from budget. After a steady start to the year,
sales tax collections were hit hardest in March and April. Combined, these months were down
$3 million or approximately 53% from 2019. May and June lagged, with collections down 35%.
With outdoor music activations and a strong drive market, July saw improvement, down 16%.
By September, the town experienced record sales with each month through November up 10%
March 16, 2021 - Page 120 of 172
- 2 -
or more from the prior year. Due to increased cases of the virus during the winter impacting
visitation, December sales tax showed a 19% decrease from 2019. In total, sales tax collections
for 2020 experienced a 15% reduction, or $4.3 million decline from 2019. This is a similar
impact as the Great Recession when sales tax collections were down 14% in 2009, yet a
marked improvement from 2020 budgeted expectations of a 23% decline in sales tax.
Real Estate Transfer Tax collections surpassed all expectations with a record number of real
estate purchases. RETT collections for 2020 total $10.3 million, an increase of 43% from 2019.
A total of 432 properties were sold, with 66% of the real estate sales were priced over $2.5
million.
Construction Use Tax collections of $2.1 million were down 16%, or $390,000 from 2019.
Other construction related revenues of $1.9 million in 2020 were down 23%, or $593.000 from
2019. The majority of construction activity was related to residential projects totaling 880,
compared to 91 commercial or mixed-use projects.
Lift tax collections of $4.1 million were down 21%, or $1.1 million from 2019.
Parking revenues totaled $4.1 million during 2020, down 23%, or $1.2 million from 2019.
Daily parking sales in the parking structures were down 24%, while pass sales were down 37%.
2020 net expenditures totaled $62.0 million compared to $93.4 million budgeted. Of the
$31.4 million variance, $21.3 million is requested for re-appropriation for capital projects
currently underway in the Capital, RETT, Dispatch, and Heavy Equipment Funds. The
remaining savings of $10.1 million was a result of savings from capital projects ($4.6), town-
wide staffing vacancies ($800K), delay of the Civic Center Master Plan ($200K), a decrease in
special event allocations due to the pandemic ($503K), COVID economic Development
programs such as the commercial rent relief and winter tenting programs ($606.4) and reduced
general operating expenditures of $1.7 million such as professional fees, supplies, cinders, and
snowmelt/loading delivery shared costs.
At the end of the day, the town was able to get through this year without dipping into reserves.
At the end of 2020 reserves are projected to be $116.1 million. Available reserves remain
healthy at a projected 90.3 million at the end of 2020, up 16% from 2019. During 2021 town
is projected to use $30.0 million of reserves for capital projects.

2021 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION
The main purpose of this supplemental is to re-appropriate funds for capital projects that were
started in 2020 and are continuing into this year, or projects that did not begin as planned.
There are also adjustments needed to reflect events or decisions that have occurred since the
2021 budget was finalized.
2021 Original Budget
The original 2021 budget was passed with the “crisis” recession plan in place, with a 24%
decrease in sales tax collections from 2019 and a 10% decrease from where we ended in 2020.
2021 operating expenses in the General Fund are also budgeted at the “crisis” level, saving
$613,000, or 7.5% from original 2020 budget. Those savings will continue into 2021. Relief
programs for both the community and local businesses remain budgeted at a combined
$630,000.
Compensation
The town saved $1.9 million in staffing expenditures across all funds during 2020. A
majority of the savings ($1.1M) was due to wage and hiring freezes implemented as part of the
recession plan. Another $800,000 was saved in both salaries and benefits from vacancies.
With the pandemic impacts continuing during the 2021 Budget hearings, Town Council built in a
3% merit increase for employees with the caveat that no increases would occur until after first
quarter. Based on financial results of 2020 and comparative data from peer resort communities,
staff is requesting to bring back the original 2020 budgeted merit rate (4% plus 0.5% market
adjustment) for 2021. The net increase of 1.5% equates to $204K in expense for 2021.
Another request is for $544,000 to catchup the 4% merit of 2020 for the employees with a wage
freeze in 2020. While they will not earn the retroactive amount of the 2020 4% merit back to
their anniversary date, implementing the 2020 merit in 2021 will help to equalize the pay rate
disparity between employees that received merit in 2020 and those that did not. Combined,
these requests will help the town keep compensation on target among our peer organizations
rather than slip further behind. In total, these new requests would add $748,000 across all
funds.
At the time the recession plan was implemented, the town was planning for a crisis-level
reduction in revenues. 2020 actual results came in much better than anticipated with revenues
over budget and significant savings in operating expenditures. Town reserves were increased
in 2020 rather than drawn upon. In light of this updated information, as well as peer comparison
data, staff is requesting to lessen the cost saving measures in personnel expenditures that were
implemented in 2020 and continued into the original 2021 budget.
General Fund
Budgeted revenues will increase by $2,120,040 in grant reimbursements. The majority of this
increase ($1,789,613) is a Federal Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental
Appropriations Act (CRRSAA) transit grant. The total amount of this grant is $3,579,226 and will
reimburse the town for eligible transit operating and administrative costs between January 2020
and December 2023. Staff recommends allocating 50% of the total grant in 2021, 30% in 2022,
and 20% in 2023. The remaining $330,427 of the increase reflects CARES grant
reimbursements awarded in 2020 reimbursing the town for transit costs ($200,000) and other
COVID-19 related expenses ($130,427) in 2021.
March 16, 2021 - Page 122 of 172
- 4 -
General Fund expenditures are proposed to increase by $1,032,846. This includes:
$15,000 personnel costs for the Transit Host Program (January – March)
$17,000 increase in water expenses based on rate increases by Eagle River Water and
Sanitation District.
$30,000 for new COVID-19 signage in the villages.
$75,000 for a spring “Work from Vail’ marketing campaign to incentivize mid-week travel.
This total cost includes $45,000 for a Feb 5th- April 9th digital marketing campaign and
$25,000 for gift cards (1,000 X$25.00) with an additional $5,000 for the Vail Valley
Partnership to administer the gift card program.
$61,000 for enhancements to village warming and seating areas. This includes $6,000
for dome decorations and maintenance, $20,000 for propane and gas for fire pits to be
used in the winter months (Jan, Feb, Oct, Nov, Dec), $5,000 for Adirondack chairs for
additional summer seating, and $20,000 for added seasonal lighting in November and
December.
$544,907 relating to the compensation request above
$8,000 to be used towards tuition assistance for town of Vail employees at the Children’s
Garden of Learning (CGL) as part of the CGL Council Contribution lease agreement
previously budgeted in the Capital Projects Fund.
$172,149 to continue the West Vail Master Plan.
$25,000 to support the SummerVail Art Workshop Legacy Program. The mission of this
program is to support, document, archive, inspire, and demonstrate the impact of the
SummerVail Art Program workshop held in Vail between 1970 and 1984. In its 14-year
span, SummerVail Art Workshop served over 9,000 students taught by 500
internationally prominent visiting artists through 850 different workshops and symposia.
This funding will go towards catalog and archiving inventory, a documentary film, a
development and marketing campaign, and a round table and discussion event. The
town’s contribution will be matched by a private donation.
$12,000 contribution to the Vail Valley Partnership’s “Vail Valley Works’ program. This
will be transferred to the Vail Marketing Fund to be funded by the Education and
Enrichment event category.
$79,790 transfer to the Marketing Fund to reflect funding paid in 2020 for the
Powabunga event that was cancelled and extended to winter 2021.
$5,000 for additional Town of Vail masks to be distributed to guests at the Welcome
Center
The above adjustments to the General Fund 2021 budget result an estimated fund balance of
$38.3 million by the end of 2020, or 87% of annual revenues in a normal year.
Staff also requests to increase the Employee Housing Ownership Program (EHOP) available
balance by $33,500 to reflect the 2020 equity earnings. This increase is not part of the budget
appropriation; however, this is reflected at the bottom of the Fund Statement to show that these
funds are restricted and unavailable for spending.
Capital Projects Fund
During the 2020 budget process, Council approved to move forward with financing the Public
Works shops building. The 2020 original budget included a placeholder of $15.0 million of debt
proceeds and $1.2 million for annual principal and interest payments. In February, a lease
purchase agreement was finalized. This supplemental reflects a true-up of the actual proceeds
and financing expenses. This includes an additional $190,000 of debt proceeds directly offset by
March 16, 2021 - Page 123 of 172
- 5 -
$190,000 of debt issuance costs and a decrease of $44,095 in annual principal and interest
payments.
Budgeted revenues will be adjusted by $2,826,299. Of this, $1,965,287 is for grants and
revenue reimbursements originally budgeted and awarded in prior years but were delayed due
to project timing. This includes a $525,287 CDOT bus replacement grant, $1,090,000 FASTER
grant for the electric bus charging infrastructure at Public Works, a $350,000 CDOT grant to be
used toward a new transit management system, a $30,291 reimbursement from the Vail
Reinvestment Authority (VRA) for landscape improvements at the Lionhead Transit Center
($30,291). The remaining $640,721 increase in revenue includes an additional $229,721 VRA
reimbursement for a new westbound bus stop at the Lionshead Transit Center and both a
$60,000 reimbursement from Vail Health and a $351,000 reimbursement from Eagle River
Water and Sanitation District for the roundabout and Frontage Road Improvements project.
These reimbursements will be offset by project expenditure re-appropriations listed below.
Staff is requesting to supplement 2021 expenditures by a total of $12.9 million, of which $11.8
million represents projects budgeted in 2020 but not yet completed such as the expansion of the
Public Works streets building, upgrades to Donovan Pavilion, bus replacements ordered in 2020
but delivered in 2021, a new parking management system, the continuation of electric bus
infrastructure, and software upgrades to Seibert Fountain. Please see the Capital Projects Fund
fund statement for a full list of all re-appropriations.
New requests/adjustments include the following:
$40,000 for a new police detective take-home vehicle; this vehicle is not on the current
replacement list as staff was using a left-over vehicle.
$6,594 to replace police handheld devices with in-car computers utilized by patrol for the
electronic summons and penalty software. The current handheld devices were
$125,000 annual maintenance for data center equipment (Dell VXRail system). The
original purchase included a three-year maintenance, ending in 2020.
$25,000 to reconfigure the Community Development cubicles to accommodate both
existing and incoming employees. This includes privacy panels, standup desks, and
mobile glass boards to create separate workstations.
$8,000 decrease in the CGL council contribution budget for employee tuition assistance
to be paid from out of the General Fund. See increasing offset in the General Fund
Staff is also requesting to transfer $690,000 to the Housing Fund for the Middle Creek
Development Fees (See the Housing Fund narrative for more information) and $20,000 to the
Real Estate Transfer Tax Fund to integrate the Love Vail website onto the new Town of Vail
website framework.
All of the above adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $23.5 million by the end
of 2021.
March 16, 2021 - Page 124 of 172
- 6 -
Housing Fund
Budgeted revenue will increase by $970,000. $280,000 of this is for the sale of a 1-bedroom unit
at Altair Vail in East Vail. Proceeds from the sale of this unit will be place held for future buy-
down housing opportunities. The remaining $690,000 reflects a transfer from the Capital
Projects Fund directly offset by expenditures for the Middle Creek Developments Fees. This
includes $300,000 management fee and $390,000 in design and planning costs. This does not
reflect the town’s in-kind contribution of waived building permit fees due to the town being a co-
applicant on the project. The value of the in-kind contribution is yet to be determined.
Staff is also requesting to supplement budgeted expenditures by $6,269,475 of which
$5,299,475 represents re-appropriations of the town’s housing programs. This includes
A carryforward of $4,633,186 allocated to the INDEED program.
$34,612 to go towards future Town of Vail rental inventory
$382,513 carryforward balance in the Buy Down Housing program.
$249,164 from the sale of the Homestead Peak unit in 2020 to go toward buy-down
housing projects.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund
Budgeted revenues will be adjusted by $343,649. $335,782 of this is for grant and revenue
reimbursements originally budgeted and awarded in prior years but were delayed due to project
timing. These revenues will be directly offset by re-appropriated project expenditures. This
includes:
$300,000 from Eagle River Water and Sanitation District for the re-stabilization of Dowd
Junction retaining wall and bike path.
$37,544 donation from East West Partners to continue the design and planning of a Ford
Park art space.
Staff is also requesting to increase revenue by $7,867 to recognize paper bag fee collections to
be used towards recycled banner swag.
Staff is requesting to supplement expenditures by a total of $4.8 million, of which $3.9 million
represents projects budgeted in 2020 but not yet completed such as “story station” signage
along Gore Creek, planning and design for a new nature center, planning and design for the re-
alignment of the Gore Valley Trail, landscaping at East Vail interchange, rehabilitation of the
Pocket Park bridge, and the re-stabilization of the Dowd Junction retaining wall and bike path.
Please see the Real Estate Transfer Tax fund statement for a full list of all re-appropriations.
New requests/adjustments include the following:
$15,000 for a new Environment Waste Reduction intern.
$13,000 for the annual five-week Vail Business Recycling Challenge. This includes an
initial waste and education session, recycling best practices, and random weekly audits.

IV. BACKGROUND
Currently, “Pet Shops” are only permitted as a conditional use in the Commercial Core 3
(CC3), Commercial Service Center (CSC), and Arterial Business (ABD) Districts. As a
conditional use, any new pet shop wishing to locate within the town would go through
the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application process in accordance with Chapter 12-
16 Conditional Use Permits. Through the CUP process and in conjunction with this
proposed ordinance, there will be sufficient ability to ensure the responsible operation of
pet shops within the Town of Vail.
V. RECOMMENDED MOTION
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 4, Series of 2021, upon
second reading, the Community Development Department recommends the Council
pass the following motion:
“The Vail Town Council approves, on second reading, Ordinance No. 4, Series
of 2021, an ordinance amending Title 6 of the Vail Town Code by the addition of
a new Chapter 4b regarding the sale of dogs and cats born or raised in
inhumane commercial breeding facilities, Vail Town Code, pursuant to Section
12-3-7, Amendment, to outlaw the sale of dogs and cats from puppy and kitten
mills as it is an unwholesome business practice and not in the best interest of
the public welfare of the Town, and setting forth details in regard thereto.”
Should the Vail Town Council choose to approve Ordinance No. 4 Series of 2021, the
Community Development Department recommends the Council m ake the following
findings:
“The Vail Town Council finds:
1. That the amendment is consistent with 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;
2. That the amendment furthers the general and specific purposes of the
zoning regulations; and,
3. That the amendment promotes the health, safety, morals, and general
welfare of the town and promotes the coordinated and harmonious
development of the town in a manner that conserves and enhances its
natural environment and its established character as a resort and residential
community of the highest quality.”
