DATE: May 3, 2022
SUBJECT: Presentation for Ordinance 8, Series of 2022 – Title 10 Building & Fire Code
Update
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum and associated presentation is to provide information
to Town Council regarding the adoption of the most recent building and fire code
editions. This will allow the Town to maintain an updated and appropriate set of
standards for the built environment.
The building and fire codes adopted by the Town are intended to provide minimum
requirements for a reasonable level of safety, health and general welfare to the citizens
of the Town.
II. BACKGROUND
The series of building and fire codes are updated on a three-year cycle after an
extensive, 3-step code development process in which all interested and affected parties
may participate. This allows for the codes to stay current with continually changing
laws, practices and technology that affect the construction industry.
As the published codes are updated, Town staff and the Building and Fire Code
Appeals Board (BFCAB) examine all the significant changes through a series of publicly
held meetings and develop amendments to the codes that pertain to our mountain
community.
III. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Town staff and the BFCAB encourage Council members to support Ordinance 8, Series
of 2022 regarding the repeal and reenactment of Title 10 to the Vail Town Code.
With that, we are also asking Council members to make two specific decisions – one
pertaining to the Wildland Urban Interface Code amendment that staff has proposed
May 3, 2022 - Page 5 of 65
Town of Vail Page 2
and the other pertaining to the package of “above” or “stretch-code” items presented to
you today.
With first reading of the Ordinance scheduled for this evening, any direction given by
Council regarding the amendments in question will be incorporated into the Ordinance
prior to second reading.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Subject: Proposed Amendments to Code for Reduction of Wildfire Hazards
I. Background
The wildfire situation in the Western US is continuing to grow worse, fueled by climate
change, community development and excessive fuel loading. Contemporary scientific
studies have pointed to expanded risks to higher elevation communities such as Vail.
Since 2001 fires above 8000ft in elevation have nearly tripled in frequency and acres
burned. Another study pointed to a near doubling of moderate and high intensity fires
during that same period leading to significantly higher damage to ecosystems and the
communities that are built within them.
This intensification of wildfire events has also led to a steep increase in impacts on
communities throughout Colorado and the west. Fires such as December’s Marshall
Fire, burning in areas previously not thought of as “at risk” from wildfires are sustaining
significant loss. These losses have led to a growing body of research on what is
causing both individual and community losses from wildfire. Two studies released in
late 2021 point to spatial arrangement of homes (distance between homes) and home
hardening and fuels modification in the home ignition zone (within 100 feet of the
building) as the two greatest predictors of home survivability. Homes that have been
hardened and have good defensible space are statistically much more likely to survive,
however this protection is significantly diminished if nearby structures (less than 30 feet
separation) catch fire.
In 2019 Vail Town Council voted to amend Title 10, 12 and 14 of the town code to
incorporate best practices for the use of ignition resistant building materials and
landscaping in new projects. These amendments were implemented in the spring of
2020 and have been incorporated into all new construction and significant additions
since that point. While significant, these code amendments are only applicable to a
relatively small portion of projects within the town. At the current pace it would take an
estimated 50 years for the current code to apply to all structures within the community.
At the June 1st, 2021 Vail Town Council meeting Vail Fire presented a strategy to
accelerate implementation of the Vail Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP),
measurably reducing wildfire risk to the entire community. During this meeting Vail
May 3, 2022 - Page 20 of 65
Town of Vail Page 2
Town Council conceptually supported amending codes to increase protection of homes
built within the Wildland Urban Interface.
II. Current Situation
The Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) code amendments incorporated into Title 10, 12
and Title 14 define applicability and specific building code requirements to conform with
the adopted code. These titles reference each other with respect to scope of the code
requirements. At the May 3rd Vail Town Council is presented with Ordinance 8 which
includes amendments to Title 10 relating to the WUI code. Vail Town Council will be
presented with an Ordinance amending Title 14 at a future meeting which are
complimentary to the Title 10 amendments presented in this ordinance.
Vail Fire proposes that the Town of Vail adopt additional amendments to Title 10 and
Title 14 of the municipal code to expand the effectiveness of the codes. These
amendments:
1. Eliminate existing exemption for additions of less than 500 square feet (Title 10,
Section 7A01.1 and Title 12 Chapter 11-3)
2. Require projects repairing or replacing 26% or more of a structures exterior
siding to comply with ignition resistant materials standards (Title 10, Section
7A01.1)
3. Expand ignition resistant landscape standards to all landscaping within the
defined limits of construction related disturbance (Title 14, not covered in this
Ordinance)
4. Define all portions of a mansard roof as “roof” and therefore shall be treated as a
roof and subject to the requirement for class A roofing materials (Title 14, not
covered in this Ordinance)
These code amendments were presented to the Building and Fire Appeals Board
(BFCAB) at their meeting on 12/8/2021. The BFCAB did not have significant concerns
over the proposed amendments, citing that most projects were already compliant with
the proposal. On January 19th, 2022 the Design Review Board (DRB) was presented
the same information. The DRB similarly did not have any major concerns regarding
the proposed code amendments to Title 14.
At the February 14th, 2022 Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC) meeting a
similar presentation was made. PEC heard the information presented and engaged in
conversation regarding the implications of the proposed code amendments. PEC voted
to recommend adoption of all code amendments except for the removal of the existing
exemption for additions less than 500 square feet. PEC felt that removing this
exemption would put excess burden on projects that were only adding a small addition.
During the meeting staff from both the Fire Department and Community Development
staff highlighted that most projects today are already meeting the requirements of the
proposed code amendments and that these code amendments add very little to no
additional costs to the overall projects. Additionally, these changes would make it easier
to understand code requirements for proposed projects in Vail. Under the existing and
May 3, 2022 - Page 21 of 65
Town of Vail Page 3
proposed code, the only the portion of a structure that is being added or changed needs
to meet the adopted WUI code. Staff recommends that Town Council accept the staff
recommendation that the 500 square foot exemption be eliminated.
The codes as presented in Ordinance 8 are consistent the recommendations of the
PEC. Vail Fire is recommending that Town Council consider the staff recommendation
to remove the exemption for additions of less than 500 square feet. Making these minor
changes to applicability of code helps to expedite the goal of building and maintaining
homes which resist ignition from wildfire as stated in the Vail CWPP.
III. Staff Recommendation
Approve the following amendments to Ordinance 8 Title 10 Section 7A01.1:
1. Eliminate existing exemption for additions of less than 500 square feet
2. Require projects repairing or replacing 26% or more of a structures exterior
siding to comply with ignition resistant materials standards

Subject: Early Childhood Education Initiatives and Funding Proposal
I. SUMMARY
The Town Council is asked to review staff recommendations for supporting local early childhood
education programs.
II. BACKGROUND
As part of the action plan focus area noted as Community, the Vail Town Council has
recognized the importance of quality Early Childhood Education programs for the Vail
community and workforce. Historically the council has provided capital and in-kind support for
the childcare facilities and direct financial support for infant care.
In the 2022 budget, the Town Council designated $250,000 of the tobacco tax revenues to
support early childhood education. Town staff have researched and worked with the two early
childhood education centers in Vail to review the current needs of the facilities and propose
some program and grant options for funding allocations.
III. DRAFT FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
The recommendations outlined below proposed using the initial funding in four focus areas for
Early Childhood Education support: Workforce Retention, Vail Community Tuition Assistance,
Expansion and Sustainability of ECE programs, and Capital Needs.
Workforce Retention Grant
As with most employers in the Vail Valley, the competition for talent has increased dramatically
and early childhood education programs are uniquely challenged with rising wages. Primary
revenue sources for teacher wages comes from the tuition families pay. Raising tuition and fees
substantially on short notice creates a hardship for many of Vail’s families.
Recent grants related to the pandemic have allowed our local centers to provide short-term
incentives for ECE teachers. These grants are expiring, and tuition increases are not enough to
provide wages at competitive levels that local employers are implementing. A 2022 survey by
Eagle County showed starting wages for ECE teachers at $16 to $18 per hour.
May 3, 2022 - Page 24 of 65
Town of Vail Page 2
If the town provides support in workforce retention grants, this will provide time for the local
centers to raise revenues to pay livable wages for the teacher workforce. These programs
could include:
Workforce Retention Staff Recommendation
Teacher Assistance $50,000 ECE teachers are some of the lowest
paying positions in the community creating
challenges to keep childcare spaces open
for local families
- Currently there are an estimated 25-30
people employed in ECE in Vail-based
centers (CGL & VCC)
Workforce Housing 0 Future consideration for priority in new
projects (IE: Residences at Main Vail,
Timberridge, etc.)
Vail Community Tuition Assistance Grant
National guidelines from the Department of Health and Human Services recommend families
spend no more than 7 to 10% of income on childcare. The average cost in Eagle County for
one child in care full-time is more than $15,000 annually, thus a family earning $150,000 or less
may be cost-burdened according to these guidelines even if they only have one child in care.
State programs and other grants provide financial assistance for families earning up to 300% of
federal poverty level (FPL) (approx. $80,000 for a family of 4). Middle income families in our
local community are often challenged in affording childcare that enables them to work,
especially when considering other high costs in our community (housing, transportation, etc.).
These recommendations include tuition assistance for families that live or work in Vail under a
sliding scale to catch families between 300% and 400% of federal poverty level (up to 100% of
local AMI). In addition, recipients of the assistance must be employed at a business that is
licensed or primarily provides service in Vail. If funding allows, staff recommends increasing this
to allow income up to 500% of FPL for families with multiple children in ECE programs.
Tuition Assistance Staff Recommendation
Vail Tuition Assistance $50,000 Recommend starting with up to 400% of
FPL ($110k for family of 4, 100%AMI local)
It is estimated that 20 families could be
supported by this amount at a discount of
$250 per month.
Expanding and Sustaining ECE Programs
The primary recommendation in this focus area addresses sustaining and possibly expanding
infant care in Vail. The Vail Town Council has long recognized the importance of having infant
care in the local community. Currently only one infant classroom exists in Vail and is licensed
May 3, 2022 - Page 25 of 65
Town of Vail Page 3
for 8 infants. The typical wait time for infant care in Vail exceeds 18 months and by that time
children are eligible for toddler age classrooms. Infant care is the most expensive care due to
the low teacher to child ratios. Continuing this care in Vail is not sustainable without support
from the town.
Additionally, local childcare centers run at capacity (as staffing levels allow) and operate with
long waitlists. This shows the need for more ECE spaces to support local working families.
Expanding current centers or new ECE programs should be a priority. Starting a new facility or
in-home care has many costs such as: insurance, cribs, highchairs, toys, books, licensing fees,
etc. This fund could help offset some of the startup costs or study options for a new facility.
Expansion and Sustaining
Programs
Staff Recommendation
Infant Care $60,000 This would continue the Council
contribution at Vail’s only infant care room
which started in 1999. Most infant care
rooms, operate on a possible loss of
$50,000 per room due to having the
highest costs and the lowest teacher/child
ratios.
Expansion of ECE programs $10,000 This funding could support a new in-home
program for startup costs or a study of new
facility options (such as Timberridge site).
Immediate Health & Safety $10,000 Since centers typically operate on slim
margins, unexpected costs can be
challenging to fund without advance
notice. This can be things like broken
equipment, immediate licensing concerns,
etc.
In Kind Support Continue Continuation of in kind support such as
snow removal, utilities, playground
inspection, facility management, etc.
Capital Needs
The town has been supporting ECE facilities in Vail with capital program or in-kind support via
the council contributions process. Staff recommends this continue with funding identified in this
program. In addition, future consideration may be appropriate for larger capital needs of a new
facility. If council supports, additional monies from the tobacco tax could be set aside for this
purpose in future years.

Town of Vail Page 4
Capital Needs Staff Recommendation
Capital Requests $25,000 The Town Council has previously funded
$20,000-$25,000 in capital requests for local
ECE programs through Council
Contributions. Recommend a matching
grant for capital needs (playground repairs,
equipment, appliances, etc.)
Long-term Capital Support
(new facilities)
0 Future Consideration
During Governor Polis’ recent visit to Vail, staff learned about potential state grant funding for
municipalities for ECE programs. Staff is currently researching these options and will apply for
state grant funding if appropriate.
The programs outlined above allow a focused effort to support ECE programs and would have
allocation separately from the Council Contributions. In addition, the TOV employee discounts
would be transitioned for allocation internally through the benefits programs.
In comparing the Town of Vail Early Childhood Education program support to other
communities, please see the attached chart which outlines similar programs in the mountain
region. It is also noted that another useful resource on this topic is the 2021 NWCCG report on
“Regional Assessment of Child Care Industry”.
IV. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Council feedback is requested on the proposed programs outlined.
Does Council have feedback on the identified focus areas?
Do the draft funding amounts in the focus areas provide the level of support Council
desires?
Are there additional areas that Council would like staff to explore?
If the Town Council supports the identified initiatives, staff will work with local centers on
implementation of the grants as outlined above.

Coming to Vail in 75' and having to find housing over the early years i know the
struggles of the local work force, young families coming to Vail to as well as
individuals. I have always helped first time home buyers since my early years in
the business and still do. I have a passion to see our Town of Vail work force
rebuild itself and be strong to keep Town Vail vibrant and operating as it should.
Having to help locals, families and new work force find housing is a passion my
boys and I share and are constantly trying to find ways to help them. I feel I have
the experience, the history and knowledge to help be creative in trying to solve
this ongoing problem we've had ever since I came to Vail and I'd like the
opportunity to give back to the Village I love and have worked in for 47 years now.
As a broker, developer of homes over the years in the Town of Vail I've been thru
the trials and tribulations of the community building, negotiating, legal and
architectural process. I feel with my years here with my real estate business,
development and sales knowledge I can offer some insight and perspective the
might be lacking.
The Vail Local Housing Authority meets twice monthly on the second and fourth
Tuesday’s of each month from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

I have and control my own schedule completely to attend these meetings, in
person and remotely, whichever the Authority wishes to do.
The Vail Local Housing Authority relies upon deed restrictions as the tool to
achieve home availability for year-round and seasonal Vail residents. They do this
through implementing programs, initiatives and developments.

Presently I feel they have formulated a good road map. If anything more and more
involvement of the local brokerage to fully understand the process as many of my
peers are not that familiar with process and intricacies, nor do they focus enough
on it. Right now with our current market conditions (pricing) it is a very difficult
time, and if I could suggest one thing it would be to acquire where applicable more
projects with First Right of Refusal (I know this does exist) yet a more concerted
effort put forth. It's all dependent in the end on finances and where we find the
funds to acquire and/or convince more "local" residents to take advantage of
monetary incentives to become a deed restricted property. This is a tough
question and needs more thinking and creative input - which I hope I can come up
with once involved and know more from the current group.
The Vail Local Housing Authority, through the Vail Town Council, implements
policies and strategies believed to best serve the Town in acquiring deed
restrictions.
5000 Characters Max
The main idea has to be the increase education of our current community
members and owners in the Town of Vail. Many employers are buying properties
for their employees, yet I do not know if they utilizing the mechanism in place to
have their purchase be "deed restricted". Maybe they are, I would like to know it
that is so or not.
I think one on one communication and as I've already said and will ask the
question do we have the support of the real estate brokerage community who is
the front line with buyers and owners. We need more support and engagement by
them on a personal and passionate basis and not a monetary one for them. The
real estate community has to step up on this.
By creation, the Vail Local Housing Authority serves to advocate for solutions to the
Town’s decades long housing challenges.

I think I've mentioned throughout here my value. My longevity and knowing the
long term struggle we've had since living here. I think my knowledge of
transactional complexities, the struggle of buyers to navigate, find and obtain a
property as well as my long time experience with financing options and
connections over the years.
Simply my experience as a broker and developer over the years here is
something the Authority to my knowledge doesn't have someone currently sitting
on it. If I'm mistaken, I stand corrected.
I don't wish to just talk about things I want solutions and I want to be part of it as
I'm extremely concerned for our Town, our business's here and people in general.

4.1. Swearing in of new Authority member Kristin Kenney-Williams to a partial term on the Vail Local Housing Authority expiring May 31, 2023.
Presenter: Stephanie Bibbens, Deputy Town Clerk
Stephanie Bibbens, Deputy Town Clerk swore in Williams for a partial term beginning
March 22, 2022 through May 31, 2023.
4.2. Housing Policy Legislative Initiatives.
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Conversation ensued around the legislative and policy efforts that Town Council has
been working on regarding short term rentals in the Town of Vail, and the opportunity
to impose caps and additional fees to offset housing impacts. A recommendation was
made for the VLHA to issue a recommendation to Town Council with the desire to
seek additional funds for housing initiatives, and to have a conversation with EPS
regarding ideas on how to shift fees from being seen as penalties to potential
partnerships. The opportunity to use EPS’s data for a housing inventory will also be
discussed in the following VLHA meeting.
Moffet shared concern about House Bill 22-1137. The bill affects the way HOA’s
operate and HOA’s ability to levy penalties and fines and puts a limitation of $500 on
the amount that can be collected in total for a contract violation. Recommendation
was made to follow this bill closely since the terms of this bill may not be suitable for
our community.
Ruther will follow up with Eagle County Housing Director on the County
Commissioners’ availability to meet with the VLHA. Topics to be discussed include
suggestions on how to use the proceeds from sale of properties, the use of available
state funding and short-term rentals.
4.3. Review for recommendation of a purchase of the Vail daily building to replace some of the underperforming deed units as part of the amendment to the Four Seasons SDD.
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director
Four Seasons had discussions with the owner of the Vail Daily building in Eagle-Vail
with the intent to purchase some units and deed restrict them to meet their out-of-
town housing obligations. Four Seasons presented this proposal to the Planning and
Environmental Commission and received and unanimous decision of denial due to
noncompliance with zoning regulations. Previously, the VLHA made a
recommendation in support of Four Seasons finding properties outside of the
boundaries of the Town of Vail to replace some of their underperforming housing
units. The VLHA will review the materials that the application puts together and will
discuss internally. A r ecommendation was made to present this topic to Town Council
to see if deciders are willing to accept trades out of the Town of Vail jurisdiction and
get a reading on that.

Construction Use Tax
Use Tax collections through April 26 total $476,250 compared to $1,213,371 from

from prior winter season. Parking pass sales are down $(406,442) or (23.0)% from
the 2019/20 season. The majority of the decrease in pass sales is due to fewer

approximately $6,185,768, up $981,923, or 18.9% from this time last year. Daily

amended budget and up 25.3% from prior year, mainly due to an increase in sales
tax collections. Excluding the new 0.5% housing fund sales tax, total revenue is up
18.4% compared to prior year. The positive variance from budget is due to higher
than anticipated sales tax, lift tax, real estate transfer tax, and paid parking
revenues.
