I am a 20-year resident of Vail, and I currently live in West Vail at the Innsbruck Meadows Planned Unit Development. As an HOA board member, I have a complete understanding of most types of special purpose developments, I monitor closely how the PEC efforts to review and meet Town goals related to the environment, housing, and town code, and subsequently feel that I will have a short learning curve to becoming an active member of the commission. In 2007 I founded and own Vail Village Rentals which is a division of my company, Vail Real Estate Center, both of which are currently the primary focus of my day-to- day business operations. In 2016 I purchased the Stowe Motel, soon after I learned Vail Resorts was buying the mountain in my hometown of Stowe, VT. My partner, Stowe, is my onsite representative. My government experience includes being chairman of Vail's liquor board as well as being a current member of Foothills II Metropolitan District in Grand Junction. In summary, while I, like you, am very busy, I do have the time to serve the community I love and bring my expertise to the PEC. I appreciate the opportunity you have created to bring a new and passionate voice to the table. I appreciate all that you do for the Town of Vail and I hope to be able to further serve your efforts, as well. Sincerely, Ted Steers 5000 Characters Max In 2012 I purchased and remodeled a single-family house on Garmisch Drive that included an EHU, As a realtor, I have sold multiple residences using the Vail InDeed program and am completely familiar with all types of EHU status levels. In 2015 I worked with my partners to develop 182-184 West Meadow Drive, which was a very forward-looking project, whereas Meadow Drive was still an active hospital access road. The PEC meets on the second and fourth Mondays of each month. Meetings begin at 1:00 pm and typically adjourn by 5:00 pm. PEC members shall be appointed to a 2 year term.

Please describe your availability to attend PEC meetings for the duration of your term and identify any conflicts of interest that may arise as a result of your employment, personal and/or professional relationships or financial interests in the Town of Vail.* Vail is a small community and everyone seems to know each other in one form or another. Please describe your abilities to act in a quasi-judicial role and provide at least one example where you had to make and unpopular decision on an issued based upon a set of criteria or other certain considerations.* Resume (optional) Letter of Interest (optional) 5000 Characters Max In 2019 I began work developing the world's fastest and most automated indoor modular home factory. This dream project is nearing reality as we are in the final phase of fundraising. My company Mosaic-Housing currently owns a small modular home factory in Houston, TX that builds single-family homes for rent. Workforce and Attainable housing are a passion of mine to use my expertise to bring homes to fruition. I am currently a partner in a project to build 308 workforce housing apartments in Grand Junction. The PEC is often asked to act in a quasi-judicial (like a judge) on development applications. Decision making is guided by review criteria and findings of fact. The review criteria are prescribed by the Vail Town Code. 5000 Characters Max I dont' have anything specific to add to the judicial roles or experiences. I am more of a deal maker, trying to find common good and creative approaches to issues. I know I would be very good as it relates to the legislative duties of the board. I am a very good listener and always open minded.
