4. Main Agenda
4.1. Housing Vision - Ballot Initiative
Presenter: Scott Robson, Town Manager
Robson, Town Manager, Council passed ballot initiative 2A to be placed on the
November ballot. Sales taxes have not increased since 1974. The increase is .05%
and will be dedicated for affordable housing both in Vail and potentially down valley.
Realistically the focus will be on Vail's closer neighbor: Minturn, Eagle Vail,Avon.
Estimated to be raised is between 3-5 million dollars for housing. The Town had
discussion meetings with various groups in Town. The poll done by Magellan
indicated there was 54% positive support for the tax increase.A week from now
Robson wants Ruther and Gennett, Community Development Director to provide an
update to Council on projects in the works. Some of the community question if there
are enough projects to warrant a tax increase.
Moffet, suggested Robson remind Council about the West Vail Master Plan as well as
the State Land Board parcel in Eagle Valley. He noted that funds spent down valley
will create a Vail infrastructure problem. Current county transportation doesn't cover
existing needs.
Robson mentioned potential of a regional housing authority as potential option to
work together for housing.
Lindstrom asked if the housing funds will continue building in reserves until such time
they are needed and the if the use of other Town funds if needed will not precluded
larger need for projects if needed. Correct per Robson and other Town funds are not
precluded. Lind
Council put sunset of 30 years on this.After 1 sc day the Town won't be able to bond
for 30 years. Do you see this fund as part of repaying bonds?Yes, per Robson. The
tax is excluded on home consumed food, will be to fund housing initiatives,
development and
Housing programs inside and outside the Town.
Moffet said in the past the Town has charged up to 15% to manage these types of
funds. Is there a way to ensure funds collected are for the stated purpose and monies
are not moved to the general fund for management purposes? Robson said this has
not been discussed with Council at this time.
Lindstrom asked what campaign rules are for the Housing Authority members.
Robson does recommend discussing with Town attorney for clarity.
4.2. Short Term Rental Study
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Ruther asked the Authority to weigh in on EPS' short term rental scope of work. It was
directed by the Council to study impacts of STRs. He asked if housing data should be
part of the scope.
The members agree to including housing data as part of the study.
By including housing data, the Town could get a handle of homes that have
transferred from long term rentals to registered short term and gain understanding of
the impact STRs have had on cost of housing.
Per Ruther, South Lake Tahoe prohibited any STR being issued short term licenses.
They had the highest resale costs per home value since the pandemic. The question
asked is how are they loosing housing if no new short term licenses are being issued.
If the Authority has additional thoughts Ruther will pass along.
Include in the EPS study what is the change in occupancy of homes (owner vs.
rental) and what is the change in ownership.
What are the impacts of other town services, i.e., police, fire, etc.
Once info in hand how will help town address services needs and how to handle STR
in Vail.
Has EPS done similar studies in other communities? Per Ruther yes EPS is reviewing
the same topics in Mountain Valley, Breckenridge and Summit county.
Will the data be an ongoing updated or just for this review? Per Ruther it would be
shortsighted to do study once versus continue.
Finance is the department who currently tracks and manages short term rentals.
Morales asked how detailed does the Town want to get?Ask do you short term your
home during the year or how many weeks per year do you short term rent. Ruther
noted there is a lot of uncovering to occur to gain understanding.
4.3. Deed Restriction Compliance and Enforcement Policies Recommendation
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director and Lynne Campbell, Housing
Coordinator
The housing staff discussed recommendations to allow the Town to charge every
EHU owner a compliance submittal fee of$250 which will be waived if owners submit
by or before the February 1 deadline. Summonses will continue to be issued to non-
compliant owners who may be charged up to $2,650 plus incarceration time per Town
Code Section 1-4-1: GENERAL PENALTY.
Authority believes there should be strong administrative and punitive fees.
Review the administrative fee after the first year and adjust as needed.
Discussion ensued with the Authority in favor of as strong enforcement actions
required for 100% compliance plus adding an administrative fee and recommending
approval to the Vail Town Council.
MOTION: MOFFET SECOND: MORALES VOTE: 5-0 APPROVED
