Description
V L MD and House Bill 1117 Memo
June 7, 2022 - Page 6 of 123
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Mia Vlaar, Economic Development Department Director
Date: June 7, 2022
Subject: VLMD and House Bill 1117
1. SUMMARY
On March 31, 2022, Governor Polis signed into law House Bill 22 -1117 ("HB 1117")
concerning the use of local marketing tax revenue. This memorandum explains the
expanded allowed uses of marketing tax revenue and how the Vail Local Marketing District
(the "VLMD") can implement these expanded uses. HB 1117 will go into effect on A ugust
10, 2022.
2. BACKGROUND
The Vail Local Market District was created by ordinance and sets forth the requirements for
drafting an annual operating plan which empowers the VMLD to provide the following
services:
I. Organization, promotion, marketing and management of public events,
ii. Activities in support of business recruitment, management and development, and
iii. Coordinating tourism promotion activities.
3. IMPACTS OF HOUSE BILL 1117
Process for modifying permitted of uses of marketing district tax revenue
If the VLMD would like to use the tax revenue for the new services outlined in HB 1117, the
Vail Local Marketing District must approve an ordinance authorizing such uses. Additionally,
the VLMD's operating plan for 2023 should specify the new services the VMLD will be
providing and detail how funds will be spent to furnish those services . The VLMD is
authorized to furnish services generally and is therefore not required to pose a new ballot
question to voters that authorizes additional uses of the tax revenue.
Additional Uses of Local Marketing District Tax Revenue
HB 1117 allows a local marketing district to expand it use of the proceeds of its marketing
and promotion tax for 1) capital housing projects, and 2) childcare, that supports the
tourism-related workforce. Additionally, such tax proceeds may be used to "facilitate and
enhance visitor experiences”, these may include investments in recreational infrastructure,
such as trails, signage, parking, or other facilities.
June 7, 2022 - Page 7 of 123
Town of Vail Page 2
If the VLMD elects to allow an expanded use of the existing marketing tax, at least 10% of
the revenue collected must still be used for the purposes that were pr eviously allowed. No
more than 90% of the revenue can go to housing and childcare for the tourism -related
workforce or facilitating and enhancing visitor experiences.
4. ACTION REQUESTED
The Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council will return to town council in July with its
recommendation for additional uses of the local marketing district tax revenues. The Town
Council is asked to provide any feedback to the legislative changes presented.

I. SUMMARY
The Town of Vail has budgeted for dozens of capital projects this year and many are
well under way. The following is a highlight of the on-going capital projects.
2022 CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
PROJECTS IN PROGRESS
South Frontage Road Roundabout Project
The project includes construction of a new two-lane roundabout just west of the Vail
municipal building and Vail Health. It will also extend the existing four-lane roadway
section with landscape medians and sidewalks from the municipal building west to the
Lionshead parking structure. All access in and out of Vail Health and the Vail Municipal
Center are now right-in and right-out only. Access to Vail Health is from the east via the
new roundabout and access to the Municipal Center is from the west via the Vail Town
Center Roundabout.
The project has resumed and is expected to be substantially complete by the end
of June. Final landscape work will likely continue through the summer
The concrete pan across the main access to the Town Municipal Building parking
lot is being installed and well be complete by June 10.
The recycle center along with the parking area behind the Community
Development Building is anticipated to be closed for construction the week of
June 6 and June 13 but open over the weekends.
For additional information, visit www.vailgov.com/roundaboutproject The contractor is
United Companies.
Ford Park Nature Center (Amphitheater) Bridge Renovation
This project includes the removal and replacement of the existing timber bridge deck
with a concrete deck. The existing railing will be removed to facilitate construction of the
new deck and then replaced. Project start date was April 18 and is substantially
June 7, 2022 - Page 10 of 123
Town of Vail Page 2
complete and open to the public. Additional work will occur when necessary parts
arrive. Contractor is Hallmark Inc.
Ford Park West Betty Ford Way Pavers
This project includes the removal of the existing asphalt pavement and steel guardrail
and installation of concrete unit pavers and timber guardrail from the west entrance gate
to the playground restroom area. Project start date was April 18 and Phase I is
complete. Phase II is the installation of the brick pavers overtop the concrete that was
installed in Phase I. Phase II will be done in the fall season. Contractor is Hallmark Inc.
Booth Lake Trailhead Restrooms
The parking lot has reopened for drop off/pick-up only. No unattended parking allowed,
and violators will be towed. Phase 2 of the project will occur in August when the
restroom facility will be placed on the foundation. Portable restroom facilities will be in
place at the trailhead during the summer. For details, visit www.hikevail.net.
Parking Equipment Replacement
The ticketing and gate equipment is currently being updated and replaced within the
Vail Village, Lionshead, and Sandstone parking structures, and at the Ford Park surface
lots. Completion is anticipated in the next few weeks.
2022 Vail Asphalt Resurfacing Project
Crews hired by the Town of Vail have completed asphalt milling and repaving Vail
Valley Drive and Cortina Lane. Repaving of Davos Trail followed by Garmisch Drive and
finally Arosa Drive have been scheduled. The work will be taking place from 8 a.m. to 7
p.m. Monday-Friday with a project completion date of June 17. Traffic will be reduced to
a single lane with flaggers during work hours. Streets included in the 2022 resurfacing
project include Arosa Drive, Davos Trail, Cortina Lane, Garmisch Drive and Vail Valley
Drive from Golden Peak to Ptarmigan Road.
2022 Vail Street Slurry Seal Project
The Town of Vail has contracted with A-1 Chipseal of Denver to complete the 2022
Slurry Seal Project. Work will begin Monday, June 13. Slurry seal creates a new
wearing surface and seals the asphalt to prevent the damaging effects of water intrusion
into the pavement. Roads will be slurried one lane at a time to allow for single-lane
traffic to be maintained at all times; however, motorists should expect delays. Traffic will
be allowed to return to the new surface after it dries, typically after two hours. Roads in
the Intermountain and Matterhorn neighborhoods are scheduled to receive the slurry
treatment this year.
The Residences at Main Vail, 129 N. Frontage Road
Vertical construction on the new 72-unit housing development has begun and is
anticipated to be complete by August of 2023. Currently the general contractor, Shaw
Construction, is placing the concrete foundation for the building. Triumph Development
West LLC is the developer.
Public Works Shop
June 7, 2022 - Page 11 of 123
Town of Vail Page 3
This project is substantially complete an occupied. Hyder Construction is completing
the installation of the large garage doors, which were delayed due to supply issues.
Final paving will take place the second week of June. A Council site visit is planned for
June 21.
Mayors Park Sandstone Paving
The sandstone walkways within Mayors Park were replaced as the 30-year-old paving
had deteriorated. In addition, the Mayors’ Rock was updated to reflect the end of Dave
Chapin’s term and the start of Kim Langmaid’s term as mayor.
Riparian Planting Projects
Crews hired by the town installed nearly 1000 new plants in multiple locations along
Gore Creek as part of the multi-year effort to enhance the creek’s vegetative buffers and
improve water quality. Additional plants will be installed during July once runoff has
finished. This brings the total number of plants installed over the past five years to over
20,000.
Ellefson Park/Town Manager Residence Turf Reduction
This project includes removal of approximately 50% of the turf grass in Ellefson Park
and the TM’s residence with native grasses, repair of concrete sidewalks and flagstone
paving, native plantings and boulder walls. The Contractor is Rocky Mountain Custom
Landscapes. The work is 50% complete and the scheduled completion date is June 30,
2022.
Structural Repair of the Lionshead Parking Structure
Work started at the end of the ski season and will be ongoing for most of the summer.
Painting of All Painted Surfaces on the Top Deck of the Village Parking Structure.
Started in early May and will continue through the summer and may have to be
complete next spring.
Electric Boiler Install of the Concert Hall Plaza Snowmelt System.
This project began last fall and will be completed in June or July.
PENDING CONSTRUCTION
Dowd Junction Gore Valley Trail Retaining Wall Stabilization Project
This project is a joint Town of Vail and Eagle River Water and Sanitation District Project.
The project will stabilize the existing walls and rock slopes that exist supporting the
Gore Valley Trail and the sanitary sewer main that is beneath it. The project was bid
out in 2019 and awarded but has been delayed until now due to property agreements
and COVID. The design team is re-finalizing permitting with the Army Core of
Engineers and Eagle County. Staff will re-present the awarded contract on June 21st to
confirm that Council would like to move forward with the project in consideration of
escalating pricing since 2019.
West Vail Roundabout Water Quality and Streambank Stabilization Project
June 7, 2022 - Page 12 of 123
Town of Vail Page 4
This project installs a new water quality unit in the south West Vail Roundabout and
provides scour protection to the West Vail Roundabout bridge over Gore Creek. The
project was scheduled to be completed this fall, however no construction bids were
received. Staff will re-bid at a more opportune time in the future.
West Vail Pedestrian Crossing at Safeway
This project constructs a new narrowed pedestrian crossing with Rapid Flashing
Intermittent Beacons across the North Frontage Road near Safeway. The existing
crosswalk crosses four lanes of traffic and a parking area. It was determined that only
installing RFIB’s at the existing back of curb and sidewalk would not be beneficial. The
crossing would be too long and the signage would be too far from the vehicle travel
lanes. The goal is to narrow the crossing to three lanes by adding bump outs. This will
shorten the pedestrian crossing and bring the RFIB’s closer to the travel lanes, making
it a much safer crossing. Design is underway, with anticipated construction this fall,
budget and contractor availability pending.
East Vail Drainage Phase II
This project includes the second phase of drainage improvements in East Vail. Phase I
was completed last year. Final design is currently being completed. This project may
be delayed until 2023, pending easement approvals and availability of contractors.
Vail Resorts Maintenance Area Parking Lot
This project includes the construction of ~80 parking spaces and ~10 oversize (30’)
vehicle parking spaces located within the CDOT ROW in between I-70 and the Vail
Resorts Maintenance yard. This project was waiting for the outcome of the recent Ever
Vail discussions. The current lot concept does not meet the larger RV’s or those
oversized lot users with trailers. A plan is attached.
Vail Village & Lionshead Snowmelt Replacement
This project includes the replacement of portions of the VV and LH snowmelt system
mains and laterals to limit exposures to leaks. This project has been delayed until a
more thorough assessment can be made the system and the appropriate public
outreach can be had.
Gore Creek Promenade Renovation
This project involves an updated design and renovation of the Gore Creek Promenade
area. The project design is scheduled to begin later this year with construction in the
fall of 2023. As an interim repair the main lawn area was resodded in May and will be
open for use prior to the GoPro Mountain Games in June.
Stucco Patching and Painting of the West Façade and south Facia of the Muni
Building.
Schedule to be determined.
Exterior Staining and Exterior Window Painting of the Vail Public Library.
Schedule to be determined.
June 7, 2022 - Page 13 of 123

Remodel of the Muni Building Common Areas
Will begin in the fall. Final start date to be determined.
Replacement of PD Roof top Units.
This is the third year of a four-year project of replacing the outdated HVAC units at PD.
This fall we will replace two of the units.
CAPITAL PLANNING PROJECTS
Vail Mobility & Transportation Master Plan
This master plan effort has just begun, and the public engagement process will begin
this summer. The master plan will specifically address all modes of transportation and
associated networks and facilities. The Master Plan will include evaluating existing
conditions and safety, determining future growth projections, developing and analyzing
opportunities for improvement, and recommending improvements for vehicular, transit,
parking, pedestrian, and bicycle infrastructure. In addition, the Master Plan will provide
updates on other past transportation related topics and studies such as traffic calming
and safety, loading & delivery, special event logistics, I-70 noise, future I-70 AGS/rail
impacts, and the future potential for tunneling and/or capping of I-70. This Master Plan
will be required to specifically focus on integrating all modes of travel recommendations
with new and emerging technologies so that all mobility and transportation experiences
throughout Vail are prepared for the future.
Ford Park Master Plan Update
This project includes an update to the current 2013 Ford Park Master Plan document.
Staff issued an RFP for the update in February 2022 and received 3 proposals on
March 17, 2022. Two firms were interviewed, and the team selected to conduct the
Master Plan Update was WRT from Denver and San Francisco. The final scope of work
and fee are being negotiated. Staff will request award of a consultant contract in June
2022.
AIPP Strategic Plan
This project includes updating the existing AIPP Strategic Plan and Program Policies
and Guidelines to reflect the current and future culture of the Town, our guests, and our
community. As the Town of Vail continues to grow as an international destination and
year-round community, so will the diversity and breadth of the AIPP permanent art
collection and programs.

I. BACKGROUND
The Town of Vail Community Survey is a key measurement used by the Town Council and
staff to probe public policy issues and solicit feedback on other topics of community interest.
It is also used to measure the town's operational performance. Conducted every other year, the
2022 survey was fielded starting on March 18 with responses collected through April 1. The
purpose of today’s session is to provide a high-level overview of the survey results as well as
an introduction in how to access and sort the more than 11,000 written comments forwarded to
the town. A narrative overview is provided containing benchmark comparisons, community
priorities, as well as preferences and themes related to the Town Council areas of focus.
II. SURVEY METHODOLOGY
The 2022 survey was fielded using two techniques. The primary method of distribution was
through a postcard mailed to all identified postal addresses in the Town of Vail using a list
obtained from a combination of sources including registered voters and a commercial vendor.
All known part-time resident owners that were not trusts or business holdings were also sent
cards using a list from the Eagle County Assessor. The postcards, followed by a reminder
mailing, invited recipients to enter one of two unique passwords shown on the postcards to
complete the survey online. Also, residents that had a password but requested (by telephone)
to complete the survey using a paper form were provided a survey and a postage paid return
envelope.
The secondary method of survey distribution was based on the promotion of an “open” version
of the survey designed to gather input from interested individuals that had not received the
password protected invitation. The promotion of this version of the survey was designed to
reach a larger cross section of the community including employees and business owners that
live outside town, and residents and part-time residents that had not responded to the invitation
version. Together, these two methods resulted in 1,467 fully or partially completed surveys
(672 from the Invitation sample and 799 from the “open link”). The overall response was up
from 2020 by 9%. The improved participation is attributed in part to promotional efforts by the
town including advertisements and using the ever-growing town email contact list. The town
continues to grow these lists. New this year was the giveaway of a free e-bike as well as $100
prize drawings of returned surveys as in previous years.

Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 1
INTRODUCTION
This Overview provides a summary of selected survey results from the 2022 Vail Community
Survey. The 2022 Town of Vail Community Survey represented the most recent outreach by the
town to stakeholders using methods virtually identical to those used for more than a decade
(2020, 2018, 2016, 2014, 2012 and 2010). As in past studies, the 2022 program resulted in
statistical findings as well as an extensive set of open-ended comments. The survey presents
numerous opportunities for community members to comment and to explain survey responses,
the comments are compiled in total and presented verbatim. They represent thousands of
specific words and statements shared by stakeholders. The comments can be accessed using
the Comments Tool provided in an Appendix to this Overview.
In 2022 the surveys were fielded using two techniques. The primary method of distribution was
through a postcard inviting all identified full-time households to participate, along with a
sample of part-time (seasonal/second home) residents to complete a password-protected
online “invitation” survey. The Invitation survey mailing list was created using voter
registration, commercial vendor, and Eagle County Assessor lists. Only one postcard was
mailed per address, but the postcards provided two unique passwords, allowing up to two
household members to complete the survey online. An opportunity to complete the survey
using a paper form was also provided, residents could request a paper survey by telephone
although only 10 residents requested this method of participating.
The secondary method was the promotion of an “open” version of the survey designed to
gather input from interested individuals that had not received the password-protected
invitation. These subsets of respondents are referred to as the “Invitation” and “Open Link”
groups. Together, these two response methods resulted in 1,471 surveys, 672 from the
Invitation survey and 799 from the Open Link survey. The total response was up about 9% this
year (from 1,348 responses in 2020). The gain is from the Open version and is attributable in
part to continued efforts by the town to promote the survey. This year, in addition to offering
periodic drawings for one of 10 $100 gift cards, a grand prize drawing of an E-bike was included
as an incentive to participate.
Over time participation in the survey program has grown, for example in 2018 there were 1,071
participants and in 2016 there were 917 responses. The survey represents an important
method for reaching the Vail community and it provides a means for interested constituents to
express a diversity of opinions and ideas.

RRC Associates 2
The timeline for the survey has remained similar over the years. Survey invitations are sent
during the latter part of the winter season and the surveying extends through the closing of Vail
Mountain. This year the first wave of postcards was received in Vail on March 18, and a second
round of reminder postcards was sent to residents and seasonal residents to arrive two weeks
later (April 1). In addition, the Open Link survey was advertised as available for completion
starting on April 4th. Through various ads, the public was invited to complete that version of the
survey online but without a password. Both the Invitation and Open Link versions of the survey
were closed on May 2nd.
KEY FINDINGS FROM THE 2022 COMMUNITY SURVEY
This Overview report is divided into two major sections: Ratings of Facilities and Services, and
Policies and Priorities. As described above, survey responses were obtained using the Invite
and Open Link methods. All results from returned surveys were analyzed. This report focuses
primarily on the Invite responses in order to systematically compare responses year over year.
However, it should be noted that the Invite and Open samples are very similar, and that a set of
all responses have been provided to staff, that information has been used for departmental
reviews of findings.
A Profile of Respondents
The profile of survey respondents in 2022 is generally similar to results from 2020. As in past
years, the survey contained demographic questions that provide a snapshot of Vail residents.
Note that the Invite version of the survey is directed only at residents, both full-time and
seasonal that live or own property in the town. Demographic results from the Invitation sample
are generally similar to those recorded in 2020 including whether respondents own or rent
their residence, household composition, gender, voter registration, and where the respondent
is employed. The percentage of responses from seasonal residents in 2022 is identical to the
figure in 2020, 41%. There was some variation in the percentage of responses obtained from
the various neighborhoods in Vail, for example, East Vail responses declined to 21% of the total,
down from 30% in 2020 when the Booth Heights housing proposal was a particular concern.
(Note that this topic has reemerged with controversy in recent months, but this was after the
2022 survey had closed.) Responses to demographic questions are used to analyze input from
subgroups of respondents through crosstabulations (for example segmenting responses by age,
time living in Vail, etc.) Comparisons of responses from full time residents to the seasonal
segment were also made.

Ratings of Facilities and Services
There are notable differences in the survey responses this year on topics related to
performance of the town with an overall pattern of decline in ratings of town direction,
facilities and services. In an attempt to understand and explain the changes in ratings, the
impacts of COVID-19 are first addressed. The 2020 survey was fielded in March and April at the
very time that the pandemic was ramping up. In contrast, during the March/April period in
2022 many of the restrictions and health impacts of COVID had declined - face masks and
restaurant restrictions and other requirements had wound down. In 2022 the survey contained
questions that asked about how the TOV “Handled COVID precautions and information by
providing programs and assistance to address:
• The health and emotional needs of the community
o Avg. rating 4.0 on a 5 pt. scale (1=poor, 5=excellent) and 73% calling town
efforts a 4 or 5 on the scale
• The economic needs of the community”
o Avg/ rating 3.6 on 5 pt. scale and 61% rating it a 4/5.
Overall, a majority of respondents rated the efforts of the town favorably; however, for
between 10% and 15% of respondents the COVID efforts were perceived to be negative. This
sentiment from a significant segment of the community should be acknowledged, COVID
undoubtedly has had impacts that likely contributed to the lower ratings this year.
Based on the important question that has traditionally been asked early in the survey, and is
used to measure overall sentiment, more respondents think Vail is on the “wrong track” this
year than in previous years. As in past surveys, respondents began by indicating their opinions
regarding the general state of Vail. This question, tracked for over a decade, asked, “Would you
say that things in the Town of Vail are going in the right direction, or have they gotten off on
the wrong track?” This year, 37% indicated Vail is on the “wrong track,” up from 24% in 2020.
About 44% of Invitation respondents said the TOV is going in the “right direction” (down from
57% in 2020 and 61% in 2018). Clearly, there is different community sentiment being expressed
by a significant block of respondents this year.
The overall survey responses were segmented to look at the sources of “right” and “wrong
track” opinions in statistical terms. Results show that wrong track respondents are especially
likely to be more negative in their ratings of town government including and services in general;
as well as toward parking, bus crowding, the impacts of tourism.

Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 4
The open-ended comments that followed the ratings question on right/wrong track also helps
to explain some of the increase in wrong track sentiment. For a significant number of
respondents, housing and parking concerns were the most prominently mentioned comment,
especially among those saying the town direction is on the wrong track. Next most identified
was Vail Resorts as a source of problems and concern. Together these three categories were
relatively frequently noted in the 1,096 comments: Housing - 376 comments (34%), Parking –
203 (19%), and Vail Resorts – 120 comments (11%), and they were especially likely to be
mentioned by those saying the town is headed in the “wrong direction.” Other responses
included mention of short-term rentals, too many people, and various specific “needs.” Clearly,
strong feelings about these topics are accounting for a significant portion of current negativity.
An extensive review of the comments was conducted, and these results have been presented
under separate cover.
As noted in 2020, there is also a segment of both full-time and seasonal resident respondents
(about 20%) that say they “don’t know” on the question of town direction. Some of these
respondents commented that things are going in the “right direction in some ways and are on
the wrong track in others”. The fact that about one in five respondents don’t have enough
knowledge suggests that the local issues are complex, but it also signals those efforts by the
town to encourage participation and understanding of local issues is important and
appropriate.
Organizing Themes and Findings from the Open-Ended Comments
With help from town staff, many of the open-ended comments were carefully reviewed, and
the input has been organized in several different ways. In addition to a Comments Tool that
has been provided to access all comments, the following general groupings were created based
on repeating themes that were found in comments throughout the survey responses:
• Housing
• Parking
• Relationship with Vail Resorts
• Too much emphasis on guests, too
little emphasis on locals
• Crowding
• Worker shortage
• Short-term rentals
• Environmental topics
• Government overreach
• Fiscal responsibility
• Development
• Social Equity
Examples of some of the repeating comments and themes within the categories are provided in
the Appendix to this memo.
The open-ended comments also included an opportunity to provide the town with “One

Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 5
forward thinking idea you would suggest Town Council act on to ensure Vail’s future.” With
970 comments on this question alone, the input was extensive. Many respondents chose to
complain in response to the question, but others had practical and interesting ideas worthy of
consideration.
The Town of Vail local government was rated in terms of four categories of governance.
These ratings were also down consistently, with “Being collaborative in the decision-making
process” the lowest rated category, at 3.4 this year down from an average of 3.6 in 2020.
Ratings of Services and Facilities are generally down across all departments this year for the
first time. As with past surveys, individual TOV departments were rated across a number of
categories using questions that probe services in detail. The questions rated satisfaction using
a 5-point scale with 1 indicating “not at all satisfied” and 5 representing “very satisfied.” This
question was then followed by an open-ended opportunity to further comment on
performance by town departments.
In general, results were down consistently between .1 and .5 of a point on the five-point scale.
The relative strengths and weaknesses remained the same within departments but the
constancy of the decline in ratings is notable. The graphic summary of survey responses that
accompanies this overview illustrates these findings. Much of the decline is occurring from
respondents that are more likely to rate services and facilities a 3 or 4 than in past years, with
fewer choosing to use the highest level of 5 – “very satisfied.” Upon examination, the
percentage of 5-point ratings are down across virtually all categories rated this year. Deeper
investigation finds that the lower ratings are being driven in part by the larger percentage of
respondents that feel Vail is on the “wrong track.” That segment is generally rating most of the
categories of service ratings about a 1 full point lower than those that feel Vail is on the “right
June 7, 2022 - Page 25 of 123
Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 6
track.” The ratings have been shared with town departments and both ratings and open-ended
comments are being considered by staff.
As in past years, there are some variations in ratings by department. Fire and the Library again
showed the highest ratings, but Public Works and the Police Department were also rated
relatively positively. Community Development, Bus, and Parking services show relatively lower
ratings than other departments. Bus and Parking services were particularly impacted by COVID
restrictions, and “level of crowding on buses” was the lowest rated category of bus ratings.
Clearly, the pandemic created challenges that affected the public perception of services this
year.
The lowest rated single category in the satisfaction ratings for Parking was for the Frontage
Road, both in terms of “convenience/ease of access” (2.7) and “safety” (2.6). Both of these
categories were down sharply from 2020 when they were rated about 3.2. “Overall parking
fees/parking structure,” which was the lowest rated category in the 2020 survey, remained at a
relatively low 3.2, the only survey category that did not show a decline in ratings this year.
Policies and Priorities
Collaboration with Vail Resorts receives strong support from community members. One of the first
questions in the Policy and Priorities section of the survey addressed:
“How important is it to you to encourage collaboration between the Town of Vail and Vail
Resorts in the following areas?” This was a question suggested by Town Council at a work session
on the survey contents and it was designed to evaluate the priorities of respondents toward
working collaboratively with Vail Resorts. In general, there was strong consensus that the two
entities should be working together in all areas addressed. Marketing, while rated lower in terms
of importance of working together, still garnered over 58% of respondents calling it a 4/5 in terms
of importance. These findings are summarized below.
June 7, 2022 - Page 26 of 123
Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 7
Clearly, the opportunity to collaborate on workforce housing and parking are top priorities for
collaboration in terms of survey support. However, as noted above, Vail Resorts was relatively
frequently mentioned in negative terms in open-ended comments associated with the right
track/wrong track question. The recent disagreements between TOV and Vail Resorts on the
future of the Booth Heights property in East Vail has occurred after the survey closed, and it is
unclear how the responses on collaboration would look at this time, but it is notable that there
were already significant concerns for the Town/VR relationship prior to the most recent
controversy.
The “other” category on priorities for collaboration also drew strong support with respondents
indicating in their own words what they wanted in terms of collaboration. Some of the
comments shared under “other” included:
•Crowding, capacity issues, and the
perceived impacts of the Epic Pass
•Livable wages
•Events
•Vision for the future
There is broad support for the idea of a Visioning Plan for Vail. The idea of a “visioning plan” for
Vail also received support in another survey question that asked, “What is your priority on
undertaking a community visioning plan to better determine Vail’s future?” Overall, 71% of
respondents rated this idea a high priority (4/5 on a five-point scale). And only 4% said it was
“not a priority.” As suggested in the open comments, a visioning plan effort might be a part of
new initiatives by the TOV and Vail Resorts to collaborate in areas of mutual benefit.
Survey respondents provided input on a series of potential priorities that the Town Council
had identified for evaluation. These categories were rated individually on a one to five scale in
terms of “Low” to “High Priority.” The ratings were grouped into sub- categories of:
June 7, 2022 - Page 27 of 123
Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 8
Environmental Sustainability, Town Services, Town Infrastructure, and Economic Health.
Illustrated below, all of the actions listed are considered to be priorities by survey respondents
with 59% or more giving every category a 4 or 5 rating. As in 2020, the single highest rated
priority in terms of average score was given to “Actions to protect and enhance Gore Creek,”
followed by “Actions to protect wildlife habitat.”
A follow-up question asked about, “Which two actions from the previous question are your
Respondents chose their top two priorities from the list above. When asked in this way, a
distinctive hierarchy emerges with “Housing for resident occupied households” at the top of the
list, followed by “Actions to protect wildlife habitat” and “Actions to protect and enhance Gore
Creek.” The graph below shows only the top eight categories from the list, these received the
highest priority ratings. Where a category is not shown in 2020 it was because that priority
action wasn’t called out in the previous survey. Note that the percentages have changed
because of new categories, particularly the inclusion of “Short term rentals” but the general
prioritization of top priorities remain similar. There is a distinct drop off after “Defining
comprehensive parking management policies” as shown. The eight second tier categories not
shown all received between 2% and 7% priority ratings.
June 7, 2022 - Page 28 of 123
Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 9
This question was then further evaluated by whether respondents were year-round or seasonal
residents. Using this breakdown, there are distinctly different opinions by the two groups. Full
time residents are especially likely to consider housing for deed-restricted households and
impacts of short-term rentals important. Seasonal residents were relatively likely to identify
actions to protect Gore Creek, comprehensive parking management policies, and providing an
economic development focus on events.
Housing Questions
Housing related topics received attention in the 2022 survey with a several questions related
to the current direction of housing policies and priorities. The survey asked about the overall
direction of housing programs and there was no change in ratings from 2020. Results show
continued and consistent support for the current program by a segment of the community;
however, negativity continues to be expressed by about one fourth of respondents, and there
remains a significant part of the community that is unsure about the direction of housing policy.
“Do you think the Town of Vail and the Vail Local Housing Authority’s mission and goals to address
housing for year-round residents is headed in the right direction or do you feel they are off
on the wrong track?”
2022 2020
Headed the right direction 42% 42%
Off on the wrong track 27% 29%
Unsure/no opinion 31% 29%
The survey asked specifically about a series of potential changes that might be used to increase
opportunities for housing using a one to four point scale of support for alternatives (“Not at all
supportive to Very supportive”). Based on these questions, there was strongest support for
“Acquiring and setting aside land for future resident-occupied housing opportunities.” Adopting

RRC Associates 10
“residential linkage regulations accessing a fee requirement for all residential development in the
town” received weakest response; however, it still garnered majority support with 60% of
respondents rating it a 3 or 4.
The Destination Stewardship Plan and Opinions about Tourism
Strong support for the elements of the Stewardship Plan is evident in Survey responses. Five
major elements of the planning process were evaluated by survey respondents and all were
identified to be important. In rank order, the Environment was felt to be most important (80%
4/5 on scale), followed by the Economy and Culture (both 69%), Social (49%) and Mental
(52%). These elements will receive continued attention and evaluation in the Stewardship
planning effort.
There are differences of opinion on the impact of tourism on residents’ quality of life. While
approximately twice as many respondents say they believe tourism benefits their household’s
quality of life than those who think it detracts, there is a segment of the community (23%) that
is expressing concern. Interestingly, when this question is coupled with responses from
residents who think Vail is on the “wrong track,” perceptions of tourism help to explain some of
the negativity – 16% of respondents who said Vail is on the wrong track also said “tourism
greatly detracts” while only 3% of those who think Vail is on the right track feel that way. These
results were further borne out in questions on tourism impacts by season. Those who think Vail
is on the “wrong track” are especially likely to indicate that visitation impacts them during
summer and winter. These varying opinions are likely to be expressed in the Stewardship
planning process, and there will likely be input suggesting a more balanced approach to
reconciling economic opportunities with environmental challenges.

Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 11
Events Related Questions
Most respondents think Vail has the “right number of events” (66%) but this percentage has
declined from 2020 when the figure was 76%. This year 23% said there are too many events,
up from 17% in 2020. Respondents also generally support the economic development strategy
of Vail’s investing in events although here again there is some decline in support as shown
below.
These shifts should be noted, they signal concerns for too many people by some in the
community and they reinforce the findings on tourism and quality of life as described above;
however, they are offset by continued high ratings of satisfaction for the overall quality of
events, the overall quality of specific elements of events, and small events with 70% to 80%
expressing high satisfaction levels (4 or 5 on the scale). Vail events programs continue to
receive strong support overall, and efforts to review and move away from large events (Burton,
June 7, 2022 - Page 31 of 123
Town of Vail Community Survey 2022 – Overview of Results
RRC Associates 12
Snow Days and Spring Back) and move to smaller events are clearly supported based on survey
responses including open-ended comments.
Vail Recreation District Questions
There is mixed support for new recreation facilities. New questions this year addressed several
topics of interest to the Vail Recreation District. Overall, just over half (55%) of respondents
indicated that they thought “an indoor fitness and recreation facility” was very or somewhat
important, but 27% rated it a 1 or 2 in importance. There was less support for “other recreation
facilities,” and significantly lower support for an “indoor pickleball/tennis facility.” These
questions were followed by a question that asked about “likelihood to support each type of
improvement with an increase in your property taxes.” About 48% indicated they would
potentially support an indoor fitness/recreation facility, but only 31% showed support for other
facilities, and 25% indicated willingness to support indoor pickleball/tennis with increased
property taxes. While these results don’t indicate strong current support, there may be
opportunities to further evaluate these types of recreation facilities and to create a proposal
that could garner support – there is a significant segment (55%) of respondents that are
indicating interest for some type of indoor facilities.
Civic Area Plan
The 2020 survey contained multiple questions that addressed aspects of the Civic Area Master
Plan. In 2022 reference to the Plan was included in the question that addressed Community
Priorities. Based on responses, Implementation of the Plan received an average rating of 3.7
with 60% of respondents indicating that it is a high priority (4 or 5 on the scale) and 13% calling
it a low priority. However, only 5% of respondents placed it in their top two action priorities
when asked to rate choices.

AT TAC H ME N TS:
Description
Project Re-W ild: A Public-Private Cost Share to Restore Riparian Habitat
June 7, 2022 - Page 78 of 123
To: Vail Town Council
From: Environmental Sustainability Department
Date: June 7, 2022
Subject: Project Re-Wild: A Public-Private Cost-Share Program to Restore Gore Creek Riparian
Habitat
I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide details regarding the revival of Project Re-Wild,
a public-private cost-share program to restore riparian habitat on private property in Vail.
II. BACKGROUND
The Restore the Gore Strategic Plan was adopted by Resolution 9, Series of 2016 on March 15,
2016. The Strategic Plan identifies the “loss of riparian vegetation and habitat” as one of the
three main causes of the declining health of Gore Creek. Item number 15 of the High-Priority
Plan Actions is to “develop and implement a public-private cost-share program to facilitate
restoration of important vegetated buffers on private property.” Project Re-Wild was initially
developed in 2017 to encourage private property owners, homeowner’s associations (HOAs), or
their agents, to restore riparian and upland habitat in the Gore Creek watershed to the highest
environmental standards by providing informational resources, consultation and monitoring, and
financial assistance for town-approved projects occurring on private land. The original program
included stipulations that Town funds only be used for design of projects (not construction or
purchase of materials) and limited funding to $7500 per project. While five projects were
designed using this model, none were implemented until the funding cap and stipulations on
how the funds could be used were lifted. Four of the five projects were completed between 2018
and 2020, some with additional funding from grants from the State of Colorado.
In anticipation of the adoption of Vail’s Stream Corridor Protection Ordinance (Ordinance
Number 6, Series of 2022) the Vail Town Council budgeted $150,000 in 2022 to assist stream
front property owners in achieving compliance with the requirements of new ordinance. While
the new stream setbacks will not take effect until 2023, it is in the Town’s interest to encourage
stream front property owners to plan ahead and assist them in complying with the new
regulations. In some cases, supplemental funding from the town may encourage stream front
property owners to voluntarily extend riparian habitat beyond the 10 feet required by the
ordinance.
III. PROJECT RE-WILD - A PUBLIC-PRIVATE COST-SHARE
Considering the typical cost of designing, permitting, and implementing a bank stabilization
project in Vail, staff has developed the following structure for awarding Project Re-Wild funds to
high priority projects and limiting the quantity and proportion of funding the Town will provide.
Project Re-Wild will support two types of projects:
June 7, 2022 - Page 79 of 123
Town of Vail Page 2
1. Streambank restoration and stabilization (engineered/structural projects)
2. Riparian revegetation (plants, seeding, soil amendments, etc., no structural
work required)
Objective: Reduce sediment and pollution loads in Gore Creek and its tributaries by:
1. Establishing native vegetation buffers
2. Stabilizing streambanks
3. Reducing use of landscaping chemicals by promoting native landscaping
over turfgrass or ornamentals
4. Reducing runoff by promoting efficient irrigation
Program Goals
• Promote compliance with the requirements of the Stream Corridor Protection Ordinance.
• Provide private homeowners, HOAs, or their agents with the information, and financial
and technical resources to restore floodplains and streambanks on their property using
Best Management Practices (BMPs).
• Reduce sediment loads in Gore Creek by encouraging private homeowners, HOAs, or
their agents to prevent erosion along streambanks with both bank stabilization structures
and native vegetation.
• Reduce impervious surfaces, promote native landscaping and efficient water use in
upland landscaping.
Funding Parameters
The Town of Vail will provide partial funding to riparian restoration and native landscaping
projects that reduce sediment and pollution loads in Gore Creek and its tributaries by (1)
establishing native vegetation buffers, (2) stabilizing stream banks, (3) reducing impervious
surfaces or (4) filtering or reducing runoff. The Town will provide up to 50% funding (not to
exceed $25,000 for single family residences or duplexes and not to exceed $50,000 for multi-
family HOAs) to projects that a multi-departmental review committee including Town Planners,
Landscape Architects, Town Engineers, and Environmental Staff determine best serve one or
more of the four aforementioned goals.
Eligibility
Project Re-Wild will provide rebates and technical assistance to private homeowners, HOAs, or
their agents who wish to restore streambank on private property abutting Gore Creek or its
tributaries. Funds may be applied to the following expenses incurred:
• Design and engineering
• Plants and seed
• Structural streambank stabilization materials
• Rain gardens, filtration systems and bioswales
• Labor and installation
• Turf or hard surface removal
• Water-saving irrigation systems
Application Process
Applicants must contact the Town to schedule a pre-project assessment at which time Town
staff will be able to document the initial condition of the property and provide guidance and
feedback to the homeowner. Once the project is completed a second assessment will be
performed to determine what level of reimbursement the project warrants. After completing the
project, applicants must submit a completed Project Re-Wild application form to file for
reimbursement.
June 7, 2022 - Page 80 of 123
Town of Vail Page 3
Priority will be given to projects which:
• Restore native riparian vegetation
• Prevent erosion or reduce sediment loading in the creek
• Remove impervious surfaces
• Rehabilitate or create wetlands or floodplains
• Reduce water use for irrigation
• Incorporate BMPs in their design
• Improve in-stream habitat (pool/riffle complexes, meanders, etc.)
• Occur in high priority areas (areas of highest concern based on MMI scores)
• Have the greatest potential to add value to the restoration of Gore Creek
Monitoring and Documentation
Monitoring of Project Re-Wild restoration projects will be conducted according to project type,
identifying successful implementation based on health of vegetation, structural integrity of
stabilization method applied, estimated reduction in water use for irrigation and/ or area of
impervious surfaces removed.
Upon completion of the project, staff will document:
• Total area (square feet) restored
• Linear feet of stream bank restored
• Number of native trees and shrubs planted
• Area (square feet) of native grasses added
• Impervious surfaces removed
• Area (square feet) of turf grass removed
• Before and after photos of the project
• Bank stability pre/post project
• Pre/post project landscaping practices (lawn care treatment, pesticides applied, etc.)
• BMPs applied
• Structural integrity of stabilization system (if applicable)
IV. NEXT STEPS
• Project Re-Wild program launch – June 2022
o Outreach to known property owners with project potential identified in the Gore
Creek Strategic Plan

Description
Business Compost Pilot Program Update Memorandum
June 7, 2022 - Page 82 of 123
To: Vail Town Council
From: Environmental Sustainability Department
Date: June 7, 2022
Subject: Business Compost Pilot Program
I. Purpose
This memorandum provides an information update to the Vail Town Council on the
implementation plan for the Business Compost Pilot program.
II. Background
Based on the 2017 Northwest Colorado Waste Diversion Study, 37% of all waste entering the
Eagle County Landfill is comprised of organics, 30% of which is food waste. Anaerobic
decomposition of organic material in a landfill contributes to the release of methane gas, which
accounts for 20% of global emissions and is at least 25% more potent of a greenhouse gas than
carbon dioxide, according to the Environmental Protection Agency 1. Diverting organics from the
landfill through composting is one critical step to increasing waste diversion while reducing
greenhouse gas emissions.
Town of Vail adopted the goals of the Climate Action Plan for Eagle County in 2017 and
adopted the updated goals in 2021, which establish the following greenhouse gas reduction and
waste diversion goals:
Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the 2014 baseline 25% by 2025, 50% by 2030
and 80% by 2050.
In one effort to achieve these emissions reductions, the Climate Action Plan includes a waste
diversion goal to divert 80% of organics from the landfill by 2030.
In 2021, Vail achieved a 35% recycling rate, however only 319 tons of organic material, or
compost, was diverted from the landfill. This accounts for 3% of total waste generated in Vail.
Figure 1 below lists the methods and tonnages from each method in which organic material is
currently diverted. To achieve the adopted goal of diverting 80% of organics by 2030 additional
strategies will need to be implemented.

III. Business Compost Pilot Program
Town Council approved $30,000 in the 2022 annual budget to implement a business compost
pilot program. Currently, compost service is available commercially through Vail Honeywagon
and EverGreen Zero Waste. Approximately 20 commercial businesses provide compost
services in Vail which diverted 223.8 tons of organic waste in 2021.
The business compost pilot program will encourage local businesses, especially those that
generate significant organic waste to start a compost program. Businesses may contract with
any local hauler. Town of Vail will offer a rebate program for businesses who begin a
composting program in 2022 or improve upon an existing composting program that has been in
place prior to 2022.
The business will complete a rebate form, including a narrative on how participating in the pilot
compost program will help to improve waste diversion and sustainability in their business and
make their compost program sustainable into the future. They must also include their plan to
educate employees and patrons. Staff will be available to assist in this training as needed.
Businesses will be required to submit associated receipts with the rebate application and will
also be required to submit a follow up report six months after receiving the rebate.
Rebate Rules:
1. Businesses located in Town of Vail including the Vail Village, Lionshead Village, West
Vail and East Vail.
2. Rebates cover infrastructure (compost bins and/or compost hauling containers), training,
educational material, compostable serviceware, hauling fees, and signage.
3. Managers may apply for the rebate on behalf of the business owner but must be signed
by business owner,
4. Issued on a first-come first-served basis.
5. Within 6 months of receiving rebates businesses must submit progress report to
Environmental Sustainability Department, including tonnages, challenges and
successes.

or post-marked by this date. All purchases must take place in 2022.
Rebate Levels:
NEW Programs: Businesses starting new compost programs during 2022 may apply for 75% of
costs in approved costs up to $2,000.
IMPROVING Existing Programs: Businesses who have been composting prior to January 1,
2022 and are making improvements to their existing compost program may apply for 50% of
approved costs up to $1,000 spent during 2022.
EXISTING Programs: Early adopters of commercial composting prior to January 1, 2022, and
not making improvements to their program may apply for 25% of approved costs up to $500.
Funding is available on a first come, first served basis and all applications will be reviewed by
Staff to determine the appropriate level of funding. Staff anticipates the business compost pilot
program will support 10 new businesses starting a compost program and providing some level
of support to businesses who have existing compost programs.

VAIL, COLORADO
The Town of Vail, Colorado, is a
premier international ski and resort
destination, one of Colorado’s
crown jewels, and a spectacularly
beautiful mountain town that
many have called home since its
founding. Nestled in a pristine,
aspen-lined valley along the
banks of Gore Creek in the White
River National Forest, Vail (pop.
5,479, area 8.3 sq mi, elev. 8.150
ft) is prized the world over for its
excellence, sophistication, and
commitment to its core values,
such as environmental stewardship,
conservation, and sustainability.
Even though the daytime population
swells to 35,000 in-season, the town
maintains a friendly, small-town feel.
Vail’s founders have ties to the 10th
Mountain Division during World
War II. After years of carefully
searching for the perfect location,
they opened a ski resort on Vail
Mountain in 1962. Residents
quickly incorporated the town in
1966. From the beginning, Vail’s
founders dedicated themselves to
quality and service and envisioned
a series of highly ambitious goals
for the resort and the town.
Through committed hard work
over time, they met and exceeded
all of these goals. For example,
Vail has hosted the FIS Alpine
World Ski Championships three
times and has established itself
as one of the premier mountain
resort communities in the world.
Vail is the first certified sustainable
destination in the United States
(Global Sustainable Tourism
Council). St. Moritz, Switzerland;
St. Anton, Austria; and San Miguel
de Allende, Mexico are sister cities.
Today, Vail is a true community
and a thriving alpine town, full of
world-class culture, diverse shops
and restaurants, and abundant
amenities, including public art.
Residents and visitors enjoy a
high quality of life, ample town-
owned open space, 5,289 skiable
acres, outdoor recreation in every
season, 17 miles of recreation
paths including the Gore Valley
Trail, special events year-round,
an outdoor amphitheater named
for Vail’s most famous resident,
President Gerald R. Ford, and the
Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, the
highest botanical gardens in the
world. The Vail Recreation District
manages area parks, the John A.
Dobson Ice Arena, and the Vail
Golf Course (18 holes). The Vail
Interfaith Chapel serves many
denominations, and the Vail Public
Library is a community treasure.
Located 97 miles west of Denver
along I-70, Vail is about two hours
from Denver International Airport.
The Eagle County Regional Airport
serves the town. Major employers
and stakeholders include Vail
Resorts, Vail Health Hospital, the
U.S. Forest Service, the Colorado
Department of Transportation,
Eagle County, the Vail Chamber and
Business Association, and the Vail
Valley Foundation, among others.
The Steadman Clinic provides elite
sports medicine treatment.

TOWN ORGANIZATION
Vail operates under a home-rule
charter (1972) and a council-
manager form of government,
including a seven-member town
council. Citizens vote on a majority
of town council (four council
members) every two years, with
the top three vote-getters winning
four-year terms, and the fourth-
highest winning a two-year term.
All are limited to eight consecutive
years of service. Council members
then elect the mayor and the
mayor pro tem from within their
number every two years. Held in
November of odd-numbered years,
elections are nonpartisan. Several
council members have parents or
grandparents, who either served on
town council themselves, or played
a role in founding the town.

Municipal services include police
and fire protection, public works,
community development, economic
development, library, housing, and
the town bus service, one of the
largest free transportation systems
in the country. The FY 2022 Budget
is $81.2 million ($57.7M municipal
services, $21.1M capital, and $2.4M
debt service), supporting 350 FTE.
Boards, commissions, and advisory
groups, such as the Vail Economic
Advisory Council, the Vail Local
Housing Authority, Vail Local
Marketing District Advisory Council,
the Planning and Environmental
Commission, and many others all
play an important role in the town.
Nuanced and complex issues
facing the town include continuing
to navigate the post-pandemic
environment, completion of
the Residences at Main Vail
project, balancing growth with
environmental stewardship
through creation of a Destination
Stewardship Plan, affordable
and workforce housing, carrying
capacity, employee recruitment
and retention, the Civic Area Plan,
the West Vail Master Plan and the
potential formation of a regional
transportation authority. Vail is
taking proactive steps to mitigate
risks in the natural environment,
such as wildfire and threats to
wildlife. Last, strengthening the
town’s relationship with Vail Resorts
is a critical need and continues
to be challenging – the town
recently announced its intent to
condemn property owned by the
ski company.
TOWN MANAGER POSITION
The mayor, all council members,
the acting town manager, and
the town’s leadership team
collaborated on the preparation of
this document. Since 1966, Vail has
had only six town managers.
Working at the direction of the town
council, the town manager is the
chief executive and administrative
officer of the town, responsible for
the proper administration of the
town’s affairs day-to-day and for
carrying out her or his duties as set
forth in the town charter.
A four-year degree in a relevant
field of study, preferably in
public administration, business
administration, or a related field; at
least five to ten years of progressively
responsible experience in local
government, including at least five
as a municipal manager, deputy,
assistant, or major department head;
or any equivalent combination of

residents, who routinely study town
council meeting packets in depth.
A strong work ethic, integrity,
and a commitment to ethics and
transparency are required.
The ideal candidate has well-
developed interpersonal skills,
including the sophistication and
courage to navigate and balance the
passionate personalities on the town
council, and the ability to guide the
council as a group. This includes
being politically astute but apolitical,
and the courage to say “no” when
called for, firmly but politely.
The successful candidate
builds bridges and thrives on
collaboration. The next town
manager is skilled at creating and
maintaining effective relationships
in every context: with state and
local and partners, the town’s resort,
hospitality, and small business
communities, environmental groups,
founding families, new residents,
and the visitors and patrons, who
are the lifeblood of the town.
The ideal candidate has expert-
level inward- and outward-facing
communication and presentation
skills, and the ability to relate to
persons from every walk of life.
Because Vail was built on exceptional
guest service and insistence on
quality, the next town manager
must have a proven track record in
these areas. She or he must help
maintain the dynamic equilibrium
between the resort experience and
community well-being, both of which
are important, and interconnected.
The ideal candidate has
considerable experience in public
sector finance, budget development
and management, and grants, as
well as good business sense and
effective negotiation skills. He or
she will manage a flexible, post-
Covid workplace.
The successful candidate is an
effective manager, who ensures
staff provides town council with all
information needed to make timely,
informed decisions, and the best
choices based on all reasonable
options. She or he is an effective
leader, who inspires the leadership
team and maximizes cross-
departmental functionality and
collaboration. The ideal candidate
is proactive, results-oriented, and
fully engaged, a problem-solver.
To be successful, the town manager
must be level-headed, empathetic,
patient, and free of ego, fully
embracing the public service nature
of this role. She or he is quietly
confident and listens actively. The
ideal candidate has a sense of humor
and avoids micromanagement.

RE: Investment Report
Enclosed is the investment report with balances as of March 31, 2022.
The estimated average yield for the pooled cash fund is 0.21%. As of 03/31/2022
the Treasury yield curves for 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year are 0.52%, 1.06%,
and 1.63% respectively.
US Treasury yields have dramatically increased due to the Feds increasing rates
to combat inflation. In March, the Fed approved a 25 basis-point increase (.25%).
Another increase of 50 basis point (.50%) was approved in early May 2022, with more
rate hikes anticipated for June. With these increases, the Fed hopes to slow borrowing
and "cool the economy".
Our investment mix follows the policy objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield in that order.
There were no changes to investment products or banking institutions.
Please call me if you have any questions.

George provided additional background regarding the property owners. They are a
longtime local family that has lived here for more than 25 years and raised a family in the
home. The family felt that a deed restriction was the right thing to do for a community
like Vail that has supported them over the years. The TOV is often not aware of how the

proceeds of the purchase will be used. In this case, the family will use the monies to pay
off a small balance due on of the mortgage and the rest to be invested for other family
and community needs that they are going to share. The community aspect came along
with this particular deed restriction.
5. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members
5.1. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members
Presenter: Steve Lindstrom, Chairman
The Vail Resorts and Booth Heights Condemnation was mentioned. As it heats
up, it appears that Council is getting ready to take action and some of them are
asking if the VLHA has any input. The condemnation would take it out of the
housing world only but it doesn’t replace the housing. VLHA could urge the Town
Council to consider where the additional housing locations are available should
they proceed with taking down this site. One option to consider to move on right
now is West Middle Creek. It surfaced a year or more ago and it did not get
administration or serious council support at the initial stage. It is another place to
consider two sides of that action. Steve suggestions presenting a short memo to
that affect. Wilkins agrees with the McDougall agrees there may not be others
that are more ready.
McDougall mentions that the May 24th meeting will be her last meeting. George
states that there are a few members with interest in filling Mary’s partial term but
the team will work through the vacancy for now.
George shared that the TOV closed on three property purchases last week and a
4th property is under contract. Two of the purchased homes (#16 at Vail East
Lodging and #4 at Buffehr Creek Condos) are planned to stay with the Town of
Vail internal housing pool and to and two additional (Pitkin Creek residences) will
be available for Town of Vail employees to purchase with the same restrictions
we’ve used for Homestake in Vail Heights. If we don’t have buyers then we will go
out to the free market using that traditional buy-down approach that the VLHA
has discussed in the past. There is a 5th property, that if we are successful with
the offer, we would potentially close the early part of June. It is pivoting around
the Vail InDEED program making the TOV the cash buyer and making the
circumstance available for locals looking for a home ownership opportunity.
