4.1. Work session in preparation of the proposed 2022 work plan and amended Vail Town Council action plan.
Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director and Steve Lindstrom, Chairman
Discussion ensued around the items that will be presented to To wn Council on the
semi-annual update. Items to be discussed include presenting statistics on housing
initiatives performance in 2021, describing current community issues, discussion on
sustainability as it related to housing and presenting current housing opportunities.
The housing opportunities to be discussed with Town Council include the CDOT
parcel, the public works facility, the middle creek west parcel, the civic area plan, the
cascade tennis court site, timber ridge and the commercial district development.
Ruther provided highlights of the timber ridge update presented to Town Council.
Discussion ensued around housing programs, including, Vail Indeed, the home buyer
assistance program, the Town of Vail internal housing program, long term rental
property owner incentives and EHU Exchanges.
There was discussion on housing initiatives, particularly, a discussion on Fannie Mae
rejecting our deed restriction because our deed restriction places an occupancy
obligation on businesses within the community versus placing it on just ourselves;
this issue impacts any county that uses deed restricted properties to protect and
preserve housing for local residents. There is opportunity for the Town of Vail to
partner with other affected communities on this issue.
Moffet discussed the possibility that the Housing Authority may be able to issue tax
exempt bonds backed by mortgages on deed restricted properties.
