Subject:A concerned manager regarding changes to Vail parking structure hours
Date:Friday, August 26, 2022 11:27:13 AM
Hi Council,
My name is Joshua Wages and I currently work as the restaurant manager at Slope Room. I
have also been a local here in Vail for 10 years now and recently heard of the possible changes
to the 2-hour free parking as well as the "free after 3pm" parking regulations. My
understanding is the free parking will start after 5pm if these new rules are voted into effect.
As a manager working with staff and scheduling, the hours at which the parking structure
allows for free parking dictates the in-times of our employees (typically 3:15 for evening
workers across most dinner spots in town). My question/concern is this; will the Town of Vail
be giving local businesses parking structure cards/access to the structure at a reasonable hour?
We all have a large amount of employees coming from Avon, Edwards, and even
eagle/gypsum. Given the hours of operation, some of these people don't have the option of
taking an ECO bus home at 12:30am.
Hoping this falls on open ears, and that some kind of compromise can be made for the
employees necessary for Vail Village to stay operational.

Best regards,
Joshua Wages

To those concerned,
Please stop thinking about ways to increase revenue without thinking about those that help
increase revenue. The people that wait the tables, clean the rooms, sell the clothes with our
logo, turn our lifts etc. etc. are being displaced and need to drive and park within reason to
their places of work. Their hours haven’t changed and only get longer. Most can’t afford to
live here, every business in every industry already struggles to hire people, this plan will only
make that harder and in the end you are devaluing the product we live on by dwindling an
already stressed hiring environment. Rethink this plan as best you can, please!

Date:Wednesday, August 31, 2022 12:13:14 PM
Greetings,
It has come to my attention a plan change from 4pm to 5 PM for free parking this winter.
I’m writing to discourage this change as it will continue to stress the limited hospitality
service workers in Vail. Normally our start times range from 3:30 to 4:30 and with the
mountain closing there is ample parking between guest leaving and workers arriving making
it a convenient situation.
Please consider maintaining the 3 PM free parking unless ample plans are made to
accommodate hospitality industry workers whose job requires them to be in the village
before 5 PM.
Please do not change the free parking time to 5 PM from 3 PM. I along with many others
think this is a very bad idea.

Date:Wednesday, August 31, 2022 10:21:14 AM
To whom it may concern,
It has come to my attention that the town council is considering moving free parking from
3pm to 5pm, or perhaps moving to a number of hours free after 3 model. For myself and my
colleagues in the service industry, this would be horrible. I personally cannot take the bus
because I finish work after bus service ends. I need to be at work before 5pm. In the summer
(when this isn't an issue) I can ride a bike, but in the winter that's not a possibility. I can't
afford to buy an expensive parking pass. Please keep our free after 3 parking. Its a small thing
that makes a huge difference in my own and many of my friend's lives.
Thank You,

Subject:Free parking time change
Date:Wednesday, August 31, 2022 2:09:03 PM
I am writing in to express that changing the time of free parking from 3pm to 5pm will only
negatively impact already struggling locals. The fast majority of service workers who work
PM shifts arrive to work before 5 pm. Forcing locals to pay for parking will only negatively
impact the community and its view of the current council members.
The discussion of raising the cost of employee parking permits is also very unsettling. In a
time of record inflation, astronomical cost of living expenses, rising rent cost and ever
increasing scarcity of housing, raising costs on the locals that keep this town running is the last
thing the town council should be addressing.
It is incredibly troubling that the council is even considering measures that will further make
living here even more difficult than it already is. If you wish to gain support from residents,
these measures will surely have the opposite effect.

Good afternoon,
My name is Garrett Cosgrove, I have been a vail resident for 10 years and am a loyal worker in the hospitality
industry in Vail. I have heard that the free after 3pm in the parking lot may change to 5pm in the upcoming winter
season. I just want to share my concern and disbelief of this as a large majority of our working force is in the
hospitality industry. Many of us have shifts that start at 3-330pm and desperately depend on the free parking after
3pm. We as a community need to realize the importance of our work force as the sustaining entity that keeps much
of this wonderful valley flourishing.
If we change this time to 5pm you are negatively impacting a huge amount of employees, myself included. We as
a community would greatly appreciate empathy in this decision to not change the free after 3pm rule. It would cost
many of us more money that we can spend and cause a larger negative impact on the community.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Garrett Cosgrove

Council Members,
I have heard there are considerations in
place to move the free parking start-time to
5pm for the winter season in Vail Village and
Lionshead. As a Vail local who works in Vail
Village at 3pm every day, I rely on the free
parking to get to work. The in-time at my
restaurant is structured around allowing
employees to utilize free parking. Requiring
someone to pay for parking every day just to
get to work is anti-local and will only worsen
our workforce availability.
Please, consider the locals and those who
work in the village as you work to change
parking rules in TOV. I am in complete
support of tourist visitors subsidizing our
free bus system, but locals should not be
part of those affected.
Thank you,
David

Hello,
I am a service/hospitality industry worker employed in the Vail Village. Changing the free parking time from 3-5pm
would make everyone (almost all locals) who works in the village have to spend more money just to WORK and
also will create problems for businesses. This is obscene and just further degradation to an already beat-down local
population. Businesses can barely staff up properly in the village, and we should be empowering local workers not
ripping them off.
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE CURRENT PARKING PRICES AND TIMES. They are already restrictive as
is.
Thank you.

Subject:Paid parking after five pm.
Date:Thursday, September 1, 2022 11:41:04 AM
To whom it may concern,
I have been in this valley for 6 years. The Vail councils discussion to consider making the Vail parking structure
paid until 5pm is disastrous, greedy, and short sighted. Allow me to elaborate.
Disastrous= The Vail valley is going through one of the worst labor shortages I have ever seen in 20 years as a
hiring manager. The town of Vail has been hit the hardest as very few people that work in hospitality can afford to
live there. This make committing by car one of the only options. Taking parking way from hospitality workers is
shows that the council views them as second class citizens. But without us, the TOV would be nothing.
Greedy= The councils estimated revenue from parking is 6.6 million dollars. Is that not enough? I also see the TOV
will have a reserve of 86 million by the end of 2022. Why do you feel the need to charge the lowest paid citizens in
our community?
Short Sighted= This plan does not consider Vails most important resource. It’s people. If the council implements
this plan it takes another step towards making Vail unlivable to the people the operate it. This short term financial
gain will have long term negative affects on Vails business, the community, and the experience that people from all
over the world come to Vail to get.
Don’t make this mistake.
Sincerely,
Cody Cunningham

Date:Thursday, September 1, 2022 11:12:00 AM
To whom it may concern,
I have been informed of the possible changes for paid parking after three pm moving forward.
I’m a vail valley resident and part of the hospitality work force. I lived in the valley for 6 years and I’m one of the
many witnesses to the changes that have taken place that don’t necessarily help the workers in this beautiful valley.
We are important, we need to be considered.
Changing the parking paid format will create an unreasonable stress for the many who work in the vail village and
especially for those who commute from other towns, relying on their car for transportation and who work until late
evening/night 5 to 6 days a week. The parking structure already makes millions of dollars per month in peak season.
This change is not taking into account Local peoples lives and contributions to this community.
Please do not negatively affect the hospitality workers in the valley by removing the free parking after three pm.

Hello Council (:
I unfortunately will not be able to attend the meeting tomorrow to provide public opinion, but
I felt compelled to write asking you all to consider the frustration of a small business owner if
you choose to raise the price of our parking passes.
From a fiscal perspective I understand how lucrative this option may seem, However, it is so
important that you think of our small businesses that bring the character & charm to this town.
Right now I am sure that revenue is up for lodging & maybe restaurants, T-shirt stores & other
places that have been part of what VR has been acquiring…. For most of the small mom &
pops, we can not say the same.
Perhaps there is a way to look at keeping parking basses for business owners as is while
finding other ways to raise prices for people not coming in to town to provide service &
experience…?
Thank you, I trust that you will all make the right choice.
Best,
Ramsey Cotter

Hi there,
I was notified that their is a consideration of changing free parking to later in teh day in the
winter time. I wanted to send a note discouraging this and stating that I do not agree wtih this.
For workers in vail having free parking at 3pm is a necessity. Furthermore locals who do not
work in Vail Village want the ability to head to the mountain for free for an after work skin,
yoga, coffee you name it and not have to worry about paying for parking. It seems entirely
silly as no one seems to have complained that lives in vail of this free parking being so early.
Please don't do this, it seems unnecessary and I wish our town council would focus on more
pressing issues like our housing crisis.

Dear town of vail, it is very hard for me to write without getting angry regarding the proposal that you wrote about
parking. I work in the village and the steps you are said you were taking would affect me and my coworkers
grandly. I don’t understand where this greediness is coming from, and how you could disregard your workers well-
being. I live in eagle vail, and finish work around 3:30 every night, not only I don’t have a bus, but now I’m losing
money while I’m working. It has come to the attention of many locals that when you are making decisions we are
probably the last people you are thinking about taking care of. It’s insulting, and over what? So rich people can
park? It is fucked up and somebody should do something about it. You are still in time in revoking this terrible
proposal and I hope that if enough people write to you, we can actually get you to think in locals for once. We are
not happy with you way of treating people and asking for better treatment and consideration. Let us also have a little
bit of joy and enjoy the mountain, stop being so greedy, stop making decisions only looking on profit. This
mountain wouldn’t work without its workers. Can you get that into your heads?
Seriously though, it shouldn’t get to this

Dear Town Council:
We all realize parking is a problem but I hope that locals will not be penalized by going
from 2 hours to .5 hour free. One certainly cannot have lunch or make even the briefest of
shopping in a half hour! (And on top of 9% tax this is a deal breaker.) And if locals are getting
in a few early runs then they are long gone by 11:00 when the structure starts to fill up. From
my observation many skiers purposely show up around 11:00 so they can park on the road and
save the fees.
So please retain the two hour free parking as it has minimal effect, if any, on the frontage road

Subject:Parking Changes
Date:Friday, September 2, 2022 11:56:01 PM
It has come to my attention the proposed changes to the upcoming season parking situation and fees. It has been
communicated that these changes are to limit flow and frontage road parking/increase safety. It is assumed that this
proposal is in response to last years peak flow numbers, caused by an increase in visitation due to recent covid
limitations being relaxed, resulting in people traveling more than usual; and due to VR marketing, pass price, and
overselling of season/day passes. I am vehemently against these changes, reasons of which I will outline below. VR,
STRs, and slumlords are doing enough to run this town and its locals into the ground, without the town itself also
contributing.
-Last years tourist flow numbers were an anomaly, due to the reasons already mentioned above. Summer numbers
were already down to pre-civid status. Season pass prices have raised to normal status. Gas prices and inflation are
also a factor that will contribute to travel decisions. Decisions like this should not be made on anomaly numbers.
-Charging for frontage road parking is not a good look. In any shape for form. I can’t believe this is even an option.
Especially considering when employees, trying to get to work in town, have to park there when the garage is full,
don’t even have the option of moving their car until they are done with their shift. So this is already an issue for
them moving their car by the time limit, much less having to pay for it. How the crap is charging for frontage
parking supposed to make people use garages more, when those garages are already full and frontage parking isn’t
even allowed until those garages are full. That doesn’t even make sense.
-Its already hard enough for service employees to afford to live here, without not only raising the prices on them for
parking, but removing free parking after 3pm. This would be a DEVASTATING CHANGE to our locals for SO
MANY REASONS. So much for dinner shift employees not having to literally give up a good portion of their
earnings for the night just to be able to get to work. So much for them getting in a lap or 2 before work also, and
enjoying the main reason they live here. This is so out of touch and short sighted.
-Local businesses and their employees are already struggling due to such fluctuating numbers from covid and
housing issues, sure lets limit the paying customers and their money by charging them to pay to park when the
mountain is almost closed when they just want to go eat or shop and spend their money IN THIS TOWN THAT
SUPPORTS US ALL. In addition to this point, raising the cost of these businesses being able to get passes for their
employees(which isn’t very sufficient to begin with) and further their struggle. Not everyone is blessed to be able to
live in town on the free bus line, or where a bus is convenient at all. Its bad enough that gold and silver passes are
given priority over employee passes, and employees are turned away when there are available spots in the garage.
-Pretty sure using safety as a reason to limit frontage road parking, when we know what happened last year in the
garage, is not valid. Not to mention theft, assault, and damage to cars as a safety issue in the garages as there is no
video surveillance. Lest we not forget 2 cars being stolen right out of the garage last year as well.
It is fairly obvious this is a money grab by the city, and not actually trying to help anything or anybody,
ESPECIALLY not locals and employees. If it was, the prices affecting them directly would not also be increasing,
and more care would be given to alleviate for them, while figuring out how to mainly take money from the tourists.
Gouging the locals and employees is NOT the answer. We are struggling enough here already with lack of housing,
skyrocketing rent costs, and near inability to purchase a starter home- so this can be more of a COMMUNITY, and
not just a place for transient living. Many of us call the home and live here full time for years and would like to be a
contributing part of this community. Looking at what the city has done with booth heights and is going to do with
Evervail, this is just another kick in the teeth to employees. This path is unsustainable.
PRIORITIZE LOCALS.

Hello town council members.
First, thank you for your service.
I’d like to support keeping Town of Vail free parking after 3pm year round. Removing
such will further diminish the vibrancy of our villages beyond the mountain hours. Those
coming into town are 100% coming to engage with our businesses - both as a consumer and as
staff which serve consumers. Distinct from daytime where guests may come into town to ski,
eat or shop, the evening hours remove the mountain from the equation. Our community needs
the vibrancy and the revenue.
Additionally keeping hospitality staff in mind… if the restaurant/bars close beyond the free
bus system or ECO bus, how will they get home? If you’d like to encourage safe after dark,
sustainability of transit and financial viability, keeping the structures free after 3pm is the
responsible decision.
I hope you got outside today!

Hi,
I am reaching out in regards to the proposed 30 minute limit to free parking in the winter. I get your intentions and do hope to see more people take the bus. My concern is that 30 minutes is really not enough time for a family that wants to go ice skating at Dobson, visit the library for story time or spend time at imagination station. Please take this into account. If my family is skiing we 100% take the bus but for accessing these other town offerings driving is honesty the best option for most families, especially when only planning to spend an hour or two in town.
On a side note, I live in vail commons and I implore you to come look at our parking lots. We have been told for 2 years that it would be fixed. We’re heading into winter and have seen zero progress. It is only getting worse we now bars are sticking out from the concrete. I’m honesty not sure that one day someone won’t go straight through into city market. I have attached just one picture of how bad it has gotten. Anything your team can do to help get these repairs going would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

To whom it may concern,
On behalf of the many industry employees who do not have reliable access to public transit
in this valley, I strongly recommend you continue to allow free parking to begin at 3pm.
This is what allows a great number of hospitality employees to arrive to work with ample
time to prepare for their evening’s work in order to better deliver service to our guests in this
valley. Putting employees in a scenario where they have to arrive later to make use of free
parking will force them to unnecessarily scramble as soon as they arrive at work and likely
compromise their ability to deliver good service.
Of course employees could arrive earlier and pay for parking but no employee wants to
sacrifice their hard earned money in exchange for parking so they can continue to work. I
would not be surprised if the decision to allow free parking after 5pm results in another
departure of labor forces from the valley. We are already understaffed and it’s decisions
such as this that give employees (especially permanent non-transient ones) less incentive to
remain in this valley with their experience and skill sets.
Instead, you are forced to rely on a rotating workforce of J1s who may or may not even be
trained properly for their roles. Maybe I’m wrong but after 14 years of continuous
experience in hospitality I can tell you that an untrained and understaffed workforce does
not deliver the kind of service that attracts guests to this valley.
With that being said, if you don’t want to see the skilled hospitality workforce have more
reasons to depart the valley than they already do, I recommend you retain free parking
starting at 3pm.
Kindest regards

Subject:This parking debate.
Date:Wednesday, August 31, 2022 5:50:40 PM
I just want to express my feelings towards the suggestions surrounding the parking issues in Vail.
In my honest opinion changing the free parking time from 2 hours to 30 minutes and extending paid parking to 5 pm
will have a disproportionate negative affect on the local population. Though living in the valley is a choice for most
of us, it seems unfair to punish the locals for the hordes of visitors that flood our valley at more and more frequent
intervals.
Perhaps if VR didn’t run its resorts with the goal of never ending growth we wouldn’t have this problem in the first
place. But, we gotta keep those stockholders happy. No point in investing in a company that is just content with the
way things are. This is the land of growth-at-all-cost after all.
I’m all for sharing the beauty of the mountains. But let’s do it in a sustainable way that gives some appreciation to
the people that make this place function. Making it harder for people to get to their jobs, or taking away their ability
to go a for couple runs at the resort without spending a bunch of money seems a little silly.
Here a few suggestions; Advocate for better transportation options, both within our valley and for those coming
from the front range. Build more parking. Tell VR to stop trying to draw more and more people up here.
Our community is stretched thin as it is.

Council Members,
I have heard there are considerations in place to move the free parking start-time to 5pm for the winter season in
Vail Village and Lionshead. As a Vail local who works in Vail Village at 3pm every day, I rely on the free parking
to get to work. The in-time at my restaurant is structured around allowing employees to utilize free parking.
Requiring someone to pay for parking every day just to get to work is anti-local and will only worsen our workforce
availability.
Please, consider the locals and those who work in the village as you work to change parking rules in TOV. I am in
complete support of tourist visitors subsidizing our free bus system, but locals should not be part of those affected.
Thanks,
Nathan

We have all heard about the proposal to change the free parking start time in Vail and
Lionshead for the winter season.
As a long time employee in Vail I rely on the free parking to get on time to work 5 maybe 6
times a week.
The fees would affect the workers like me most because we go to the village regularly and
the charges would only drive up the cost of living in the county and of course, hurt the pockets
of the people that can afford the least.
I hear coworkers and friends every day how difficult it is to find housing and to live in the
Vail valley so please don't drag the chains on the asphalt, they cause fires.
My family and I are asking to reconsider this proposal and find a better solution for the
parking situation.
Thank you

Please do not change the free parking time from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. It will hurt those in the service industry
tremendously as we come in for work at 3:15 specifically so we can park for free. It is greatly needed for hospitality
workers to keep this great operation moving. This will only deter people from apres and not change ticket or skier
visits as there is only 1 hour until the mountain closes from when free parking starts.

Date:Friday, August 26, 2022 3:09:01 PM
Hello Council,
My name is Thøger Petry and I am the Wine Director for the Slope Room Restaurant in Vail
Colorado.
I was informed recently of the proposed change to the Parking Schedule for the winter and
have concerns of the consequence to our employee's who rely on the 3pm allowance in the
Parking Structure.
As a manager working with staff and scheduling, the hours at which the parking structure
allows for free parking dictates the in-times of our employees (typically 3:15 for evening
workers across most dinner spots in town).
Given that some staff do not have convenient access or scheduling in line with the bus system,
this added charge and necessary for turnaround for restaurant employees may result in an even
further lack of interest in working in the Vail and Lionshead restaurants and shops, an Issue
which you know is already a huge problem given our local housing constraints.
I understand the many challenges you face in these decisions and hope that some kind of
compromise can be made for the employees necessary for Vail Village to stay operational.
Cheers,
T

Council members,
As a long time local I have seen many changes in our community. The free after three parking
is a nessacary park for many members of the work force in our community. Many people
including myself will not be able to afford the daily parking fees inorder to work my job. With
the the already tight staffing issues this is a stress we do not need to add to our businesses.
Increase in price for peak ski hours can help subsidize our free buses for the town. The parking
lots begin to empty after 2:30 and have never been an issue for locals to park in the structure
and not on the street. This amendment to the parking structure is a big hit to the local work
force and something the businesses will not be able to afford. Not only with people quiting
over the parking but an extra stress on the bus system as well. I do not believe this is a good
idea for the town to put into action and that the negative outcomes far outway the positive.
Concerned local,

Since the beginning of Vail, the priority of every Town Council has been fiscal responsibility.
As elected officials, we made decisions for our community that helped keep Vail financially
secure for future generations.
We urge the current Vail Town Council to practice strong financial discipline
concerning the Booth Heights condemnation. The rumored “no price is too high”
philosophy jeopardizes the financial well-being of the town. The residents of Vail
deserve transparency regarding expenditures of this magnitude.
We are asking the sitting Vail Town Council to follow the historic fiscal precedent that
has helped preserve the financial strength of the Town of Vail. Thoughtful,
conservative annual budgets and capital expenditures are essential for the continued
success of Vail. We respectfully request you continue this legacy.

the thoughtful letter i just wrote disappeared. I can not take time to redo.
1. Spot zoning is wrong and opens the door for our “special” developers to ask for the same. You can not tell them
no because of the precedent you would set.
2. Timber Ridge must be maximized meaning start at Frontage Rd level and go up. No partners. Town in full
control for eternity. No free market and no seasonal. Wait til you have funding if you have to. This is the last piece
of public land Vail has that is appropriate for a housing project that will actually make a difference.
RETT. Has been used as a slush fund for decades and has gotten away with it. Maybe. You need to clean those uses
up and then you can borrow against RETT with confidence. Many of the RETT funded projects are unnecessary and
get funded only because it is easy money.
It is time for the council to really meet the intent of regulations and funding snd then the town and community will
be good

fervently hope you’re successful in your endeavors. I’m thrilled with the new leadership of the Council.
While you’re at it, please pressure VR to release their daily numbers on the mountain. This new “restriction” of
daily passes is a non-starter. They are blowing smoke and effectively trying to increase Epic Pass sales while NOT
controlling the numbers on the mountain. The safety on the mountain has been severely compromised over the last

Dear; Mayor and council members,
I urge you all to vote for condemning
the property where the Booth Heights is proposed.
There are many reasons to do this such as: Loss of habitat for wildlife. Increased pollution from storm water flows
into Gore creek. Disruption of the land for rockfall mitigation and redirecting seasonal streams above this massive
complex. Poor location for seasonal workers who rely on public transportation to access stores for staples. Just to
name a few problems with this flawed project.
In contrast, leaving this land as open space will prevent these problems occurring and add tremendous value to our
community now and in the future.
I know there will be a cost to procure this land, however, it will become an asset to the community.
As a resident, property owner, and voter, I support protecting this site by condemning this property and encourage
the council to vote to condemn this land.
Respectfully

The acquisition of the booth heights property will be an invaluable asset for Vail, our community members and
visitors. The ecological and financial cost inflicted by not preserving this property will be a burden for generations
to come. Short term financial gains for only Vail Resorts will cost the Town of Vail and residents far more than
purchasing this property into open space.
You have my unwavering support in proceeding with the condemnation and purchase of the Booth Heights property.
Along with Vail’s iconic bighorn sheep habitat, this area is vital to the ecology and safety of our neighborhood. The
proposed project will interfere with natural waterfalls and creeks, polluting our waterways on and surrounding the
property, create drought conditions and increase fire danger to our family and neighbors.

Date:Thursday, August 25, 2022 7:39:17 AM
Mike Budd and Vail Town Council,
Mike’s comments in The Vail Daily today are interesting but the Big Horn herd can’t read and Vail Resorts left the
table two years ago.
I am a real estate agent and realtor in Vail and I also am in favor of providing housing at reasonable cost to workers
in Vail also. My own background includes a few years as a trustee on a management board of public housing in
Sherman Texas in the 1970s. Favoring such housing seems to be true of most of the people I have come into contact
with during my efforts to stop Booth Heights. Vail Resorts seemingly in good faith entered into discussions to find
a replacement for Booth Heights. In fact a replacement is now being built but Vail Resorts backed out during the
negotiations. A majority of Town Council was elected to protect the Vail Big Horn herd that depends on this parcel
in winter during the worst winter conditions for the herd. A Vail Resorts’ middle management employee was the
deciding vote of the Town Commission that approved the project. Mayor Chapin was the deciding vote of the Town
Council that did not throw out that decision which was appealed to the next level and the appeal was lost, and then
during the worst of Covid not appealed to the next court level. At the Town Council meeting that approved the
Commission’s decision, a majority of the Council then immediately moved to enter into discussion (including the
then Mayor) with Vail Resorts to purchase the property and also find replacement. It is beyond belief that Vail
Resorts and previous owners of the business (Vail Corp, The Corporation) lost track that they owned this parcel and
did not pay taxes on it for 50 years give or take. If an affidavit was required by the tax authorities, someone with
The Corporation probably had to lie to pay the few years taxes that was necessary to comply with Colorado state law
for people who were found to own property where ownership was truly lost. Their hands are not clean on this
property ownership and for their behavior during negotiations for replacement housing. If it was just about the
housing for employees, The Corporation would not be trying to be making money off of this development on units
that will be sold for profit without any restrictions on their use. It is just a corporate money maker with a little bone
for employee housing. At every step of the way when they have developed other property, they have delayed and
put off building or supplying the replacement housing for employees (Arrabelle and others). Other employers in
Vail other than Vail Resorts and prior owners have done more buying and developing housing for their employees
than Vail Resorts. The Town itself was created after The Corporation to do the things that The Corporation would
and could not do. The Corporation has milked it to the max. Notwithstanding this, we all benefit from The
Corporation and our location here in this still wonderful place. It is regrettable, but condemnation and payment of a
ton of money to The Corporation is what may be necessary. The Corporation wants to make money on property it
didn’t know it owned for more than 50 years, ha ha, give me a break. They did not pay a dime for it (it couldn’t
have been part of negations on price from one owner to the next if they did not know they owned it) and only have
development costs and legal fees. Total BS on their supposed care and concern for the environment. It’s all about
the shareholders dividends, the board of directors fees, and the CEO bonus. Recent law suits about employee
complaints show The Corporations lack of concern for its employees. Still not paying a living wage under current
employee housing conditions in this mountain town shows The Corporations lack of concern for the employees. The
Vail Town Council has been more patient with Vail Resorts on this than the Justice Department has been with
former President Trump on his crime of taking government property to Mar-a-Lago. Booth Heights isn’t doable
because of the Big Horn herd. Vail Resorts left the table.
It’s a beautiful day in Colorado,

Residential Property Known as Vail Heights, Unit 10, Phase III, 2059 Chamonix Lane, Vail,
Colorado 81657
Background: The availability of housing for its employees remains an ongoing need for the
Town of Vail municipal government. As the fourth largest employer in Vail, the Town of Vail too
is challenged by the need for housing for its workforce. As the FTE count for the Town grows
so does it’s need to support housing for the employees. Over the years the Town has taken a
wide range of approaches to addressing its employee housing needs, including “buying down”
homes for purchase by Town of Vail employees.
Staff Recommendation: Authorize the Town Manager to enter into an agreement, in a form
approved by the Town Attorney, the purchase of Vail Heights, Unit 10, 2059 Chamonix Lane,
Vail, Colorado, in the amount of, and not to exceed, $548,000, plus closing costs.
Coggin made a motion to approve Resolution No. 36, Series of 2022; Foley seconded motion

5. Action Items
5.1. Resolution No. 35, Series of 2022, Ballot Language Regarding the 0.5% Sales Tax
Collected for Housing Initiatives, Housing Developments, and Housing Programs
Presenter(s): Carlie Smith, Finance Director
Action Requested of Council: Approve, Approve with Amendments, or Deny Resolution No. 35,
Series 2022.
Background: Please see attached memo.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, Approve with Amendments, or Deny Resolution No. 35,
Series 2022.
Smith explained that there had been no changes to the draft ballot issue regarding the retention
of the additional revenues collected in the first year of the 0.5% sales tax collected for housing
initiatives, housing developments, and housing programs since it was presented on the July 19,
2022, meeting.
Coggin clarified the word “refund” in the ballot language did not mean a discount or money
back, but that the town would not collect the tax for a certain amount of time to balance out the
excess amount that had been collected.
Smith confirmed that was correct.
Foley stated the ballot is asking to retain the additional funds.
Coggin agreed with Foley but wanted to make sure the voters understood the ballot issue; if the
ballot issue did not pass, there would be a brief reprieve from paying the 0.5% sales tax; should
the voters decide to pass the ballot to retain the excess funds, Council could purchase more
housing units to help with the housing crisis.
Foley also stated that this would be the only year that this issue would be brought to the voters.
With TABOR (Taxpayers Bill of Rights), it is only within the first year that municipalities must
zero in on the amount collected. After the first year, there is no set amount.
Public comment was called.
Douglas Smith, a Vail resident, suggested there be some sort of organized campaign to make
sure voters understand the ballot language and what the voter is being asked to vote on.
There was no other public comment.

5.2. Ordinance 15, Series of 2022, first reading Amending Title 7 of the Vail Town Code
by the Addition of New Regulations for Pedestrian Mall Areas in the Town
Presenter(s): Commander Ryan Kenney, Vail Police
Action Requested of Council: Approve, approve with amendments or deny Ordinance 15, Series
of 2022.
Background: The Town desires to increase the safety of pedestrian traffic, improve the guest
experience, reduce environmental impacts, and provide for the delivery of goods in Vail Village
and Lionshead; as well as reduce pollution, congestion, and the related health concerns created
through the delivery of commercial goods, especially when concentrated in a particular area;
provide a higher-quality experience for all businesses and customers located in the Village
Core; and the Town finds that a coordinated delivery system will address such concerns and
provide for the coordinated and efficient delivery of commercial goods in pedestrian mall areas.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, approve with amendments or deny Ordinance 15, Series of
2022.
Kenney explained changes were made to both the maps and the Ordinance based off feedback
Council gave at the previous meeting.
Changes included:
no maps in the ordinance
kept the 9:00am to 11:00am timeframe that business owners would still be able to go
into the village and unload in front of their stores
Ski tuning was changed to 5:00am to 8:00am and 5:00pm to 6:00om each day
E-Vail courier was changed to “Town Approved Contractor”
Courier Zone was changed to High Volume Commercial Carrier (HVCC) Zone
Foley thought 8:00am to 10:00am would be a more appropriate time for business owners to
unload in front of their stores but agreed to monitor it for a year and make tweaks later if
necessary.
Changes to the Ordinance included:
The definition of High Volume Commercial Carrier (HVCC) changed to add “and a
variety of commercial goods”
The Loading and Delivery billing section was removed
The words “and subsequent violations” were added to the penalty section to cover any
violations after a third violation.
Kenney explained FedEx, UPS, USPS, and trash collection would be exempted from the
ordinance and program and would continue to deliver in Vail Village and Lionshead without any
changes.
Kenney addressed concerns regarding cold storage, fee structure and why the Town of Vail has
implemented the loading and delivery program.
54
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 2, 2022 Page 5
Adam Pena, a Lionshead business owner asked about the courier system during peak season
in Lionshead and if the exemption included FedEx Freight.
Kenney responded no changes had been made to deliveries to the Lionshead Village and the
exemption did include FedEx Freight.
There was no other public comment.
Coggin made a motion to approve first reading of Ordinance 13; Davis seconded motion passed
(7-0).
6. Public Hearings
6.1. An appeal hearing, pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Appeals, Vail Town Code, to
address four (4) separate appeals of the final decision and conditions of approval of the
Town of Vail Design Review Board on May 18, 2022, approving a Change to Approved
Plans application to amend the design of a proposed residential development on the real
property located at 3700 North Frontage Road East/Lot 1, Vail, Colorado, known as the
East Vail Workforce Housing Subdivision
Presenter(s): Greg Roy, Senior Planner
Action Requested of Council: Pursuant to Section 12-3-3, Vail Town Code, the Vail Town
Council must uphold, uphold with modifications, or overturn the Design review Board’s May 18,
2022, decision. The Town Council must act by motion, with such motion to be approved by a
majority of those present.
Background: Vail Corp the Fixed Assets Department, represented by OZ Architecture,
requested the final review of a design review board “Change to Approved” application, pursuant
to Section 12-11 Design Review, Vail Town Code, for a new housing development located at
3700 North Frontage Road East/Lot 1, East Vail Workforce Housing Subdivision (the “Booth
Heights Neighborhood”). On May 18, 2022, the Design Review Board held a public hearing on
the Change to Approved Plans application and voted 4-1 (Middleton opposed) to approve the
application.
Langmaid reviewed the rules of procedure for the appeal hearing regarding the Booth Heights
Development that was passed on July 5, 2022, through Resolution.
Roy briefly recapped the Design Review Board’s decision.
Council had no questions or comments regarding the recap.
Tony Ryerson, an approved proxy for the appellant Debbie King Ford of 2765 Bald Mountain
Road, Vail, CO, stated the use of cedar siding is unacceptable and increased the wildfire
danger. Ryerson sited Fire Free Five, Vail Community Wildfire Protection Plan, the Booth Creek
Fuels Reduction Plan and Vail Wildland Urban Interface Plan to support the concern. Ryerson
also stated the use of cedar siding would require treatment that is considered toxic and emits
volatile organic compounds. Ryerson listed many reasons why the cedar siding was an
inappropriate building material for the project.
55
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 2, 2022 Page 6
Appellants John Reimers and Regina Grisafi were called up next. Reimers stated his concerns
with the added light and noise pollution introduced to the area due to the lights on walking
paths, open windows and parking lots, as well as residents and guests up at all hours of the
night. Reimers also expressed his concerns for Gore Creek due to the way the drainage was set
up. He explained that the water from rain and snow would drain into storm drains where
pollutants and toxins are collected from fertilizers and automobiles. Water going into storm
drains instead of on site, will make the ground and at risk for fire. Reimers last concern was the
layout for the parking lot was problematic for snow removal and would require extra work for the
shaded areas as well as the use of more mag-chloride to help melt the snow.
Appellants Jill and Robert Rutledge did not attend.
Betsey Kiehl- Village Condos East Vail Resident, addressed her concerns by citing:
• 14.10.5 Building Materials and Design; the application was changed to include more non
fire rated materials and went against the town’s movement away from flammable
products, the current proposed cedar siding would increase the threat of fire.
• 14.10.7 Outdoor Lighting- the application does not take into consideration the Town of
Vail’s dark sky lighting requirements and the light pollution the project would have an
irreversible impact on the wildlife in that area and destroy the parcel of land that has
provided dark skies to the town.
• 10-14-8 Landscaping- the current plan did not include landscaping on the potion of
CDOT’s right of way easement.
Kiehl also stated she had other concerns about inadequate proposed parking spaces which
included lack of space designated for electric vehicles.
Kiehl ended her dialog by stating the project would have a negative impact on East Vail and the
application has been pushed through loopholes, issues have not been resolved and Council
needed to take a better look and overturn the DRB decision.
Sarah Kellner, attorney from Faegre, Drinker, Biddle and Reath LLP, represented Vail Resorts
for the hearing. Kellner went over the phases of the entitlement process the property has gone
through and stated that Vail Resorts was on the last phase. Kellner explained how the East Vail
Workforce Housing Subdivision aligned with the town’s design standards and met the conditions
that were included on the original application that the DRB requested. Kellner also stated that
many of the appellant’s concerns were not valid as the parking, lights, and noise had already
been approved and complied with the DRB guidelines. She further stated that in the last DRB
meeting where the application was approved, all DRB members stated Vail Resorts met every
request put in front of them and there was no public comment made at either of the DRB
hearings when these plans were presented.
Rebecca Stone, project architect from Oz Architects, explained how the firm worked with the
DRB to refine the previously approved plan. Refinements she discussed included amending the
undulations within the rockfall wall, increased landscaping, provided a tree preservation
program, added more landscape screening, added a new bus stop that met Town of Vail
requirements, complied with the elevation conditions outlined by the DRB, and complied with
the ADA and Life Safety conditions.
Stone responded to some of the appellant’s concerns, and stated the lights were from the
original proposal and met the dark scattering requirements, the windows would have blinds, the
56
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 2, 2022 Page 7
cedar siding was approved, but could be changed to a noncombustible material that would look
similar to the cedar, electric charging stations were included and more could be added, and the
trees could be left to help with the noise.
Kellner ended the discussion by showing a completed DRB check list for the project and asked
Council to uphold the decision made by the Design Review Board.
Langmaid asked if any of the appellants would like to respond to what the applicants presented.
Appellant Regina Grisafi expressed the DRB should re-evaluate the criteria that was approved
in prior years due to it being outdated and did not reflect the current fire mitigation program and
the Gore Creek Restoration program the Town has been implementing.
Roy returned to the podium and stated he had no comments to add but procedure allowed for
him to answer any questions.
Foley had questions regarding the lack of detailed DRB May 18th, 2022, meeting minutes.
Roy explained that there were no detailed meeting minutes for DRB, they are only required to
maintain results and video.
Staufer had questions regarding the height of the rockfall mitigation berm, the landscaping plan,
if the lighting was dark sky compliant and the percentage of combustible siding.
Roy provided a rough idea of the berm height, explained the landscaping plan was compliant,
he also explained the town does not require dark sky compliance. The town required the lights
would need to be full cut-off and the design submitted reflected the full cut-off lighting. Roy also
stated the application was submitted prior to changes that were made to the code and the
applicant would not be required to meet the updated code.
Seibert asked if compliance to the new code could be made a condition.
Mire explained Council was able to modify the DRB’s decision and if that was the vote, Council
should remand the application to the DRB.
Public comment was called.
Robin Burch, resident of East Vail, stated she worried about combustible material proposed in
the project and asked if the walking paths would have snowmelt as they could become
hazardous in the winter without it.
Jenn Bruno- stated DRB followed the code and Council shouldn’t undermine the boards
authority.
Steve Connelly- asked Council to uphold the DRB’s decision.
Kirsty Hintz- Stated there needed to be another traffic study due to the previous study being
inadequate.
57
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 2, 2022 Page 8
Mark Gordon, a Vail Resident, stated DRB did their job, the project matched the criteria and
Council should leave the process as is.
Tom Vucich, a Vail Resident, asked Council to put their confidence in their board members.
Cindy Ryerson, a Vail Resident, proposed the town consider conducting a new traffic study to
include Vail Mountain School and Vail Pass closures.
Robyn Smith, a West Vail Resident, asked to let the project fail on the other issues, not on a
technicality.
Foley clarified the DRB does not require traffic studies. He stated that would fall under the
Planning and Environmental Commission’s jurisdiction.
Council stated they believed the Design Review Board did their job.
Foley made a motion that the Town Council uphold the May 18, 2022, decision of the Design
Review Board, because the DRB properly determined that the Change to Approved application
complies with the following sections of Title 14, Chapter 10, of the Vail Town Code:14-10-3;
SITE PLANNING; 2. 14-10-4: ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTIONS, DECKS, BALCONIES,
STEPS; BAY WINDOWS, ETC; 3. 14-10-5: BUILDING MATERIALS AND DESIGN; 4. 14-10-6:
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT; 5. 14-10-7: OUTDOOR LIGHTING; 6. 14-10-8:
LANDSCAPING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION CONTROL;
Mason wanted to uphold the decision, but with the condition that the applicant used more
noncombustible materials instead of the cedar boards.
Foley declined to amend his original motion. Coggin seconded original motion passed (7-0).

past PEC Board members that felt council was usurping the Special Development District
process and not using the property the way it was intended to be used.

in favor of the ordinance because she thought it would be a benefit to the employees.
Mason explained that this was an opportunity to help with the housing crisis.

Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 2, 2022 Page 10
Background: The Booth Heights Property contains significant natural and wildlife resources and
provides critical habitat for a Colorado bighorn sheep herd. The Town is seeking to acquire the
Booth Heights Property as open space, and thereafter to maintain the Booth Heights Property
as open space pursuant to Section 13.11 of the Town's Home Rule Charter. The current owner
of the Booth Heights Property, Vail Resorts, has declined the Town's offers to purchase the
Booth Heights Property for fair market value, the Town is now seeking to acquire the fee interest
in the Booth Heights Property by condemnation.
Staff Recommendation: Approve, approve with amendments or deny Ordinance No. 16, Series
of 2022
Mire explained the purpose of the ordinance was to be consistent with the Resolution that
council passed earlier in the year to acquire open space.
Public comment was called.
Sarah Kellner, attorney from Faegre, Drinker, Biddle and Reath LLP, represented Vail Resorts,
explained council received a letter from Bill Rock earlier in the day, which expressed Vail
Resort’s concerns regarding the proposed emergency ordinance. Kellner also stated the
emergency ordinance was drastic, unprecedented, and lacked due process.
Michael Browning, an East Vail resident, expressed his belief that applying for permits would be
a waste of time and money since the issues would be resolved through the pending
condemnation.
Steven Connolly, a Vail resident, stated the real emergency was affordable housing.
Regina Grisafi, an East Vail resident, spoke in support of the emergency ordinance.
Maryanne Bachelder, ecology consultant, stated that soils testing permit filed by Vail Resorts

60
Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 2, 2022 Page 11
Foley commented that during the appeal portion of the meeting, Vail Resort representatives
referenced the Planning Commission and that they had left out the “E” which stood for
environment, which Foley stated was part of the Town of Vail’s heritage. Foley couldn’t
understand that anyone who was concerned about the environment wouldn’t want to save the
bighorn sheep.
Davis explained he believed Council was overreaching with the emergency ordinance, and he
would not vote in favor of its passage.
Mason stated after understanding some geological activities could disrupt the herd and due to
the unsuccessful collaboration with Vail Resorts concerning the property, she would support the
ordinance.
Langmaid also stated she would support the ordinance and explained the herd had been
migrating lower during the summer months and would not want issuance of permits to disrupt
the herd.
Seibert expressed his disappointment with Vail Resorts and stated Residences at Main Vail was
being built with the understanding that Booth Heights would be left for the sheep and explained
Council cannot listen to what Vail Resort has told them. He stated Council could only observe
what Vail Resorts has shown them. Seibert stated due to the fish kill in Mill Creek and the recent
activity that happened in Keystone he did not think it would be responsible for the council to
leave the parcel to Vail Resorts. Seibert stated he would be voting in favor of the ordinance.
Coggin stated he was not in favor of condemnation but would support the emergency ordinance.
Foley made a motion to approve the emergency ordinance suspending the issuance of permits
for the Booth Heights Property, Staufer seconded motion passed (6-1*Davis against).
There being no further business to come before the council, Foley moved to adjourn the
meeting; Davis seconded motion to adjourn passed (7-0).

Town Council Meeting Minutes of August 16, 2022 Page 4
Presenter(s): Greg Hall, Director of Public Works and Transportation
Background: The purpose of this item is to provide Town Council with an update on the Parking
and Mobility Task Force (PAMTF) discussions regarding mobility and winter parking, provide
recommendations for winter 2022-2023 and request Town Council direction regarding next
steps.
Staff Recommendation: Provide direction to the staff and the PAMTF on the information
presented as well as provide feedback on the issues regarding any additional information which
would be useful from the Task Force as the Town Council will be asked to decide on the winter
2022-2023 parking and mobility program in September.
Hall reviewed prior years’ winter parking and explained the upcoming winter season goals of
Parking and Mobility which was to provide and manage parking that would meet the 15-day goal
of overflow parking on South Frontage Road for summer and winter, provide sufficient close in
parking spaces on all but peak overflow days for guests, and to manage parking to supply
parking 90% of the season.
Hall went on to explain the Parking and Mobility Task Force had discussed a peak and non-
peak pricing scenario that would result in 50 peak days and 114 non-peak days for the winter
season. Rates would vary during peak and non-peak days which would depend on segmented
user groups, which were identified as Employee, Vail Local, Eagle County Local, and Colorado
Local. $40.00 was proposed for peak days for the upcoming winter and $30.00 for non-peak
days.
Hall proposed working with CDOT on a paid system for the Frontage Road overflow parking
with the intent to push vehicles to use parking garages because it would be safer. Hall also
proposed a $500.00 employee pass and possible carpool or ride matching services program.
Hall also presented the recommended parking pass prices for the upcoming winter season:
Mobility Passes Existing Proposed
Premium $3,300 $4,125
Business Premium $2,000 $2,750
Employee $ 350 $ 500
Local $ 25 $ 50
Eagle County $ 25 $ 50

parking proposals, testing the new equipment, and returning to Council on September 20, 2022,
with final recommendations for the winter parking season.

used to be the Silver Pass.
Foley stated he would like to see employees continued to be accommodated with the free after
3:00pm in the parking structures.

Langmaid agreed with Davis and stated it would be beneficial to simplify the programs and
communicate them effectively.
Public comment was called.
Ali Kelkenberg, a Vail resident, asked if data from pre-COVID years had been reviewed to
determine the recommended peak and non-peak dates.

Scope of Work – Software Integration
A control system will be provided to activate many necessary user needs. This greatly reduces the complexities of operating an
integrated A/V system and facilitates greater system utilization and an enhanced meeting experience.
User Experience
Developing a unique system based upon the end users’ needs and an understanding of how the space will be utilized has led
AVI-SPL to identify three styles of user and room interactions: Autopilot, Co-Pilot, and Pilot. These styles range from the user
who wants to use technology transparently, to the person who wants to control every aspect of collaboration. Based on the
design requirements, AVI-SPL has selected the following user experience for this room:
Autopilot
This is a highly automated room experience. User interaction is plug-and-play with little or no interaction requirements. Use and
function for this experience commonly includes pre-schedule meeting spaces and public meeting spaces without an interface.
While a touch interface is not required, if one is present, it will reflect the current state of the room.
The goal of this automation level is for end users to be able to begin their meeting with ease, quickly sharing content or having
calls automatically answered.
For more specific information about the chosen automation design and use cases, please refer to the User Experiences section
of the AVI-SPL Programming Functionality Statements document.
User Interface
A user interface will facilitate advanced system operation. The following user interface(s) will be used for this system:
• The touch screen graphical user interface will be a custom solution specifically for this project. This custom solution will require
coordination meetings with AVI-SPL to design, submit and approve prior to completing all control code creation. Please reference
the Custom User Interface scope of work document for specific details on this option.
o AVI-SPL will provide the layout and the functionality of each button for each user page of the touch screen to the Customer
prior to implementation for client input and final client approval.
• All specified equipment in the proposal will be incorporated into the control system.
As part of the programming process, AVI-SPL will provide the layout and the functionality of each button to the Customer prior
to implementation for input and final approval.
System Events
As part of the control system programming, many system level events can be monitored and acted upon. The following system
events will be included in this system:
Mute Synchronization
It is often necessary to synchronize the state of many devices. The control system will be utilized to synchronize the mute states
between the conference system(s) and the microphones. If the microphone has visual indicators, such as an LED, those
indicators will change to reflect mute state.
For more specific information about the chosen system events, please refer to the System Events section of the AVI-SPL
Programming Functionality Statements document.

The minimum acceptable site conditions of the project site for the installation of electronic equipment are as follows.
• The rooms and directly adjacent areas into which the equipment will be installed must be dust-free with floor, ceiling, and wall
finishes to be completely installed in the rooms affected by the equipment.
• The rooms into which the equipment will be installed must be secure.
• All Electrical power, conduit systems, HVAC systems, IT requirements (wired or wireless services), communication circuits, and or
other services required by the systems and equipment should be fully installed, energized, and configured for use.
• All furniture into which components of the equipment will be installed shall be present at the time of staging and/or installation.
• All telephone, POTS, VOIP, modem, PRI, data, LAN, and telecommunications connections are installed, fully tested, and active.
• Configuration of OFE networks, applications, servers, and services to provide interoperation with installed systems.
• Coordination and timely IT support and documentation (such as providing IP addresses or account credentials).
Software Licenses and Service Accounts
Supervised or direct access to systems must be provided as needed for a properly provisioned and licensed account where

SPL will be unable to fully test the system before receiving sign-off for the installation. All system components will be tested
individually to ensure proper stand-alone function, and project sign-off will be requested before technicians leave site.
• If AVI-SPL is unable to properly commission and test the system at the time of installation due to issues with access, an additional
site visit may be required. Any additional visits will be billed at the standard contracted labor rate, provided Customer is at fault and
approves additional cost in advanced and in writing, scheduling will be done on a best effort basis.
Training
• AVI-SPL shall provide a system familiarization training and power-user training, limited to a total of 4 hours.
• End user, employee training on Teams or Teams Rooms is not included with this quote but can be quoted separately based on the

General Terms and Conditions
1. Applicability of Terms
1.1 These General Terms and Conditions (together with any addenda attached
hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, the “Terms and Conditions”) and
the accompanying Audiovisual Solutions Proposal (the “Proposal”) are the only
terms and conditions which govern the sale of the equipment and any related
software (the “Products”) and services (the “Services”) specified in the Proposal by
AVI-SPL LLC (“Seller”) to the buyer/customer identified in the Proposal (“Buyer”).
Seller and Buyer may be individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively as
“Parties.”
1.2 The Terms and Conditions and the Proposal (collectively, the “Agreement”)
comprise the entire agreement between the parties, and supersede all prior or
contemporaneous understandings, agreements, negotiations, representations and
warranties, and communications, both written and oral. In the event of a conflict or
inconsistency between the General Terms and Conditions and any addendum, the
addendum shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency. In the event
of a conflict between the Terms and Conditions and the Proposal, the Terms and
Conditions shall prevail to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a master services agreement
signed by both Parties is in effect covering the sale of the Products and Services that
are the subject of the Proposal, the terms and conditions of said agreement shall
prevail to the extent they conflict or are inconsistent with these Terms and
Conditions.
2. Acceptance and Modification of Terms
2.1 This Agreement shall not be binding upon Seller until accepted by Buyer as set
forth in this sub-Section 2.1 and the earlier of Seller’s confirmation in writing of
Buyer’s order and Seller’s performance under the applicable Proposal. Buyer’s
signed acceptance of the Agreement, issuance of order against the Agreement,
payment for any of the Products or Services contained in the Agreement, or receipt
of the Products or Services contained in the Agreement, whichever occurs first, shall
constitute Buyer’s acceptance of this Agreement.
2.2 Any modification, addition to, or waiver of any of this Agreement shall not be
effective unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Seller, and
any different or conflicting terms appearing in Buyer’s purchase order or other
documents are expressly rejected by Seller. No relaxation, forbearance or
indulgence by a Party in enforcing any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
or the granting of any time to the other Party shall prejudice or restrict the rights
and powers of a Party hereunder, nor shall waiver of any breach hereof operate as
a waiver of any subsequent or continuing breach hereof.
3. Delivery
3.1 Seller will use its best efforts to deliver the Products in accordance with the
Buyer requested delivery date, subject to receipt of all necessary information from
Buyer and Buyer’s compliance with Seller’s reasonable instructions for site
readiness. Shipping and installation dates are approximate only, and Seller shall not
be liable for failures of or delays in manufacture, delivery or installation resulting
from any cause or causes beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or
negligence.
3.2 Any delay due to causes beyond Seller’s reasonable control and without Seller’s
fault or negligence shall extend delivery and installation dates to the extent caused
thereby. Seller will use reasonable efforts to timely notify Buyer in the event of a
delay. Buyer shall reimburse the Seller its reasonable additional expenses resulting
from any Buyer-caused delay. When delivery of the Products is delayed at the
request of the Buyer and the Products have already been shipped by Seller’s vendor,
Seller will place the Products in storage and invoice Buyer the price of such Products,
which will be promptly paid. Seller shall not be liable, and the Buyer shall have no
right to cancel or rescind this Agreement, in the event of any delay due to causes
beyond Seller’s reasonable control and without Seller’s fault or negligence, and
Buyer shall accept such delayed performance by Seller. The Buyer’s receipt of the
Products shall constitute a waiver of any claims for delay.
4. Billing and Payment Terms
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller in the Proposal, the total
Proposal price, excluding the price for Stand-alone Services (as defined in this
section), shall be billed as follows, subject to continuing credit approval: 50% down
payment at time of order, 40% upon delivery at Seller; 10% upon project completion
and Buyer sign-off or first beneficial use, whichever occurs first, payable net 30 from
Buyer’s receipt of invoice. For purposes of this Agreement, “Stand-alone Services”
means any Services not attached to an installation project. Unless otherwise
specified in the Proposal, Products are sold F.O.B. origin-Buyer to pay all shipping
charges. If this Proposal covers Products or Services for more than one system,
room, suite, or location, for purposes of payment in accordance with payment terms
stated on the face hereof each room, suite, or location shall be treated as if the
subject of a separate sale and payment made accordingly. Unless otherwise
specified in the Proposal, all pricing and amounts are in US Dollars and all billing and
payment shall be made in US Dollars.
5. Buyer in Arrears or Default
In the event Buyer is in arrears with any payment due from it to Seller at any time,
whether in respect of the Proposal price or any other amount due from the Buyer
to the Seller under the terms of this Agreement, the amount in arrears shall bear
interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law, whichever is less, as from the date each amount falls due, pending actual
payment thereof in full, without prejudice to any relief or remedy available to Seller.
Upon notice to Buyer and without waiving any other rights or remedies to which it
may be entitled, Seller shall have the right to suspend or terminate performance of
the Services or delivery of the Products until payment of the amount in arrears is
received, decide not to fulfill additional orders from Buyer and/or seek collection of
all amounts due. Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any such suspension or
termination. In the event of any action by Seller to collect any amount not paid when
due, Buyer will reimburse Seller for its costs of collection (including, without
limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees). In the event of Buyer’s default, Seller
may also, without notice, peaceably enter any premises in which the Products are
located and remove, hold and sell them in accordance with applicable law, to satisfy
in whole or in part Buyer’s obligations.

preparation and installation issues. Buyer shall provide the Seller with free access to
the installation site for the purpose of preparation for installation.
8.2 Buyer shall obtain at its expense and keep effective all permissions, licenses, and
permits whenever required in connection with the installation and/or use of the

12. Taxes
12.1 Any and all taxes levied or based on the prices in this Agreement, or the
Products being sold hereunder, exclusive of any taxes based on net income, shall be
added to the purchase prices set forth in the Proposal, except to the extent the
Buyer provides the Seller with a valid tax exemption certificate approved by Seller.
12.2 All payments to be made hereunder shall be made in cleared funds, without
any deduction or set-off and free and clear of and without deduction for or on
account of any taxes, levies, imports, duties, charges, fees and withholdings of any
nature now or hereafter imposed by any governmental, fiscal or other authority
save as required by law. If Buyer is compelled to make any such deduction, it will
pay to Seller such additional amounts as are necessary to ensure receipt by Seller of
the full amount which Seller would have received but for the deduction.
13. Confidentiality
13.1 Each Party may from time to time during the Agreement, in the course of
discussions or dealings with each other, receive or learn, orally, visually or through
any tangible medium, certain information regarding the other Party’s business,
including but not limited to, its products, inventions, operations, methodologies,
systems, processes, product development plans or intentions, know-how, designs,
trade secrets, market opportunities, business or financial affairs, and technical,
marketing, financial, employees, planning, intellectual property and other
confidential or proprietary information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential
Information does not include, and the restrictions in this Agreement shall not apply
with respect to, information (i) possessed by or independently developed by the
receiving Party prior to any disclosure, (ii) obtained from sources other than the
disclosing Party, which sources had no obligation of confidentiality to disclosing
Party with respect to the Confidential Information, or (iii) which is within the public
domain when disclosed or becomes part of the public domain after disclosed to the
receiving Party without fault on the part of the receiving Party. Seller’s Confidential
Information also includes the terms of this Agreement.
13.2 The Confidential Information of a Party belongs to that Party. The receiving
Party will not disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party to any
third party without the disclosing Party’s prior written consent. The receiving Party
will not use the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party for any purpose not
expressly permitted by this Agreement or to carry out the Services or the sale of
Products, and will disclose the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party only
to the employees or contractors of the receiving Party who have a need to know
such Confidential Information for purposes of carrying out the Services or the sale
of Products and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the
receiving Party’s duty hereunder. Receiving Party will protect the disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same
manner as the receiving Party protects its own confidential or proprietary
information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care.
13.3 Receiving Party will, upon completion or termination of this Agreement or
promptly upon request from the disclosing Party, return or destroy all Confidential
Information of the disclosing Party, including any documents or materials that
contain any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the receiving Party (i) may retain one (1)
copy of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for archival, audit,
disaster recovery, legal or regulatory purposes and (ii) will not be required to search
archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for the disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information in order to purge the disclosing Party’s Confidential
Information from its archived files; provided, however, that the receiving Party must
(i) maintain its confidentiality under this Agreement as if it were still in effect, and
(ii) not use the retained Confidential Information of the disclosing Party for any
other purpose.
13.4 The Parties recognize that a violation of this Section 13 can cause irreparable
harm to the business of the disclosing Party that could not be adequately
compensated by the payment of money damages and agree that the disclosing Party
may seek injunctive relief against any actual or threatened breach of this Section 13
in addition to any other available legal and equitable remedies. The prevailing Party
in any action to enforce this Section 13 shall be entitled to recover from the non-
prevailing Party reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to other relief granted in such
action.
14. Force Majeure
Except for payment for amounts due under the Agreement, neither Party will be
liable to the other for delays or failures to perform occasioned by causes beyond its
reasonable control and without its fault or negligence. Such acts or events shall
include but not be limited to, acts of God, civil or military authority, civil disturbance,
riot, fire, strikes, lockouts or slowdowns, factory or labor conditions, inability to
obtain necessary labor, materials or manufacturing facilities, and delayed issuance
of export control licenses. In the event of such delays or failures to perform, any
dates or times by which either Party is otherwise scheduled to perform shall be
extended automatically for a period of time equal in duration to the additional time
required because of the delay or failure to perform. The Party claiming force
majeure shall promptly inform the other Party of any event of force majeure, and
its expected duration and cessation. The Party claiming force majeure shall use its
best efforts to mitigate such effects to the extent reasonably practicable.
15. Return/Cancellation Policy
In the event Buyer wishes to return, cancel, exchange or terminate any Products
based on reasons outside of Seller’s control, including but not limited to Buyer’s
cancellation or termination of this Agreement or any portion thereof for its
convenience, Buyer agrees, in addition to any other amounts due under this
Agreement, to reimburse Seller at cost for (i) any and all third party
cancellation/restocking fees incurred by Seller and (ii) where applicable, return
shipping costs. Buyer understands and agrees that Seller may be unable to return
certain Products to the manufacturer for a full refund or payment of a
cancellation/restocking fee, including but not limited to Products that are custom
or semi-custom, Products that have been removed from their original packaging and
Products that have been in the possession of Buyer or stored by Seller for Buyer for
an extended period of time. If Buyer wishes to return, cancel, exchange or terminate
a Product due to reasons outside of Seller’s reasonable control and Seller is unable
to return the Product to the manufacturer for refund of full Product price or
payment of a cancellation/restocking fee, Buyer shall be responsible for paying
Seller the full Product price. If the non-returnable Product is in Seller’s possession
or is in transit from Seller’s manufacturer, Seller will, if requested by Buyer within
ten (10) days of Buyer’s notice of return/cancellation/exchange/termination, deliver
the Product to Buyer within a reasonable period of time following Buyer’s payment
of the full Product price and shipping costs.
16. Termination
16.1 Seller may, without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to Seller under
this Agreement, at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement immediately for cause
in the event Buyer breaches a material term of this Agreement (it being understood
that Buyer’s payment obligations shall constitute a material term) and such breach
is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof. Seller may also,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies available to Seller under this Agreement,
at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement immediately for cause upon written

indemnitor hereunder, the indemnitee shall promptly notify the indemnitor of the
existence of such a claim and shall give the indemnitor reasonable opportunity to
defend and to settle the claim at its own expense and with counsel of its own
selection. The indemnitee shall cooperate with the indemnitor, shall at all times

reasonable efforts to keep Buyer apprised of anticipated delivery timelines and delays. Should Buyer elect to purchase equipment immediately
upon placement of order to mitigate delays, Seller will immediately bill Buyer upon placement of such order and Buyer shall pay for such
equipment within the payment terms (e.g. net 30) specified herein, regardless of any other agreed upon billing terms or billing terms specified
herein. AVI-SPL will store such equipment in its warehouse until delivery to Buyer. Warranty on such equipment shall commence upon delivery
of the equipment to AVI-SPL’s warehouse, notwithstanding any other agreed upon warranty terms or warranty terms specified herein.

Subject:Letter to President Biden – Support of CORE Act and Camp Hale National
Monument
I.Purpose
At the Council’s request, staff is providing the background for a proposed letter to President
Biden urging support of the CORE Act and the designation of Camp Hale and the Tenmile
Range as a National Monument.
II.Background
For more than a decade, Vail and communities across Colorado have worked to advance the
Colorado Outdoor Recreation and Economy (CORE) Act – that will bring permanent protections
to over 400,000 acres of vital public lands in Colorado. This legislation has been built from the
ground up with years of dedicated stakeholder engagement and enjoys bipartisan support.
Regrettably, progress in Congress has stalled despite strong support in Colorado.
Secretary Vilsack’s recent visit to Colorado to see Camp Hale emphasized the overwhelming
support expressed at the meeting and throughout the years from local elected leaders,
conservation stakeholders, sportsmen, ranchers, business leaders, veterans and the 10th
Mountain Division Foundation it is clear that Coloradans across the state support the
conservation and preservation of these landscapes for future generations.
The proposed letter which has the support of Eagle County, Colorado Association of Ski Towns
(CAST), and communities across the state, will urge the President to use his authorities to
swiftly protect Colorado’s public lands within the CORE Act, and specifically urging action under
the Antiquities Act to designate Colorado's Camp Hale and the Tenmile Range as the Camp
Hale - Continental Divide National Monument.

The Honorable Joseph R. Biden
President
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave, NW
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Biden,
The Colorado Association of Ski Towns (CAST) represents 41 municipalities and counties that drive the ski industry and
mountain tourism economy in Colorado and other western states. We write to you to urge your use of your Presidential
authorities, including the Antiquities Act, to protect many of the landscapes included in the Colorado Outdoor
Recreation & Economy (CORE) Act. In particular, we request that you designate Colorado's Camp Hale and the Ten Mile
Range as the Camp Hale - Continental Divide National Monument, that protection is off ered on Colorado’s Thompson
Divide through a mineral withdrawal, and that protections are put in place on the Grand Mesa Uncompahgre and
Gunnison National Forests as identified in the CORE Act.
CAST has followed the CORE Act with great interest. CAST members that have formally supported the CORE Act include
the municipalities of Ouray, Crested Butte, Glenwood Springs, Telluride, Basalt, Breckenridge, Mountain Village, Vail,
Snowmass, Mt Crested Butte, Frisco, and Dillon along with the counties of Gunnison, Eagle, and Summit.
With strong bi-partisan support across local governments as well as a broad group of additional stakeholders, it is
unfortunate that the Act has not found a path through the U.S. Senate. The economies of CAST communities are largely
dependent on the adjacent public lands, and the protection of these natural places is key to maintaining our tourism-
based economies. CAST respectfully asks for your attention to this request to bring permanent protection to over
400,000 acres of vital public lands in Colorado.
Respectfully submitted,
Dara MacDonald, President, CAST

Subject:GO Vail 2045 - Vail Mobility & Transportation Master Plan Update
I.SUMMARY
The GO Vail 2045 team have been busy engaging with the public as a first step in the
Vail Mobility & Transportation Master Plan. An initial survey was given via the
Engagevail.com platform and we received 275 responses. The goal of the survey was
to confirm, update, and/or change the Transportation Vision for Vail based on the 2007
Vail 20/20 plan and to receive initial feedback on mobility in Vail. Staff will present the
results of the of the survey and review the suggested changes for Vail’s Transportation
Vision.
The GO Vail 2045 plan will ultimately update traffic, transit, and parking projections and
provide implementation recommendations for each; as well as provide updates on other
past transportation related topics such as traffic speeds and traffic calming, noise,
loading & delivery, special event logistics, AGS/rail, and tunneling/capping I-70. The
new master plan will specifically focus on all modes of mobility and explore emerging
technologies that will enhance mobility and transportation experiences throughout Vail.
II.TRANSPORTATION VISION
In 2007 the Town of Vail completed the Vail 20/20 plan, a plan to provide direction for
the town’s future with regards to multiple strategic areas including transportation. At
that time the town adopted the following transportation vision statement.
Vail is recognized as having a comprehensive transportation system and through continued
redevelopment, has reinforced its transit-oriented lifestyle. Transit, walking and biking are the
major modes of travel along with extensive, multimodal connections between major
destinations. Those who choose to drive are welcomed with a well-maintained roadway system
directing vehicles to Vail’s managed parking areas. Goods and service delivery are distributed
through the town’s dispersed loading and delivery system. Getting to and from Vail is safe and
efficient. Connections throughout the intermountain area are seamless and a big factor in Vail’s
quality of life. Workers enjoy a one-hour commute from the Denver Metro area or Glenwood
Springs in a reliable and environmentally friendly method, while residents and guests enjoy the
108
Town of Vail Page 2
same commute to Denver for work or visits to the many cultural venues and events. Convenient
connections to the nearby airports make year-round travel to Vail easy from anywhere in the
world.
The initial task of the Transportation and Mobility Master Plan is to revisit this vision and
confirm it is still accurate, update it where needed, and/or change it if deemed
necessary. Based on the public input from this most recent GO Vail 2045 survey, the
most recent Vail Community Survey, and the vision and goals from previous plans, the
consultant team and staff believe the 2007 20/20 vision is generally still valid but needs
some additions and refinements. An updated version of the vision has been drafted for
review. This draft vision will guide the master planning effort, but it is anticipated that it
will evolve over the planning process and will be finalized with the final adoption of the
master plan. Several key changes to the vision statement are highlighted below.
Vail is recognized as having a comprehensive multimodal transportation system and, through
continued redevelopment and investments, has enhanced and well-integrated alternative
transportation options. The transportation network provides equitable access to economic,
recreational, and other opportunities. Vail's transportation system is designed to support the
sustainability of the natural environment and contribute to the Town’s Climate Action goals
through deploying emerging mobilities and technologies. Transit, walking, and biking are
comfortable, affordable, reliable, and convenient, as supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure
as well as education and outreach programs. Those who choose to drive are welcomed with a
well-maintained roadway system and clear direction for locating Vail’s managed parking areas
and electric vehicle charging stations. Loading of goods, services, and passengers is efficient
and clearly designated through the town’s dispersed loading and delivery system. Traveling
between Vail and regional destinations within the intermountain area and the Front Range is
reliable, convenient, safe and seamless by public transit or private vehicle. Convenient
connections to the nearby airports make year-round travel to Vail easy from anywhere in the
world.
The updated vision statement will be posted on the GO Vail 2045 www.engagevail.com site for
review and feedback from the public. There will also be on-going opportunity for comment on
the project site using an interactive map and project forum.
III.RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council take public comment on these recommended vision updates
and provide feedback. The draft vision statement and goals will be the guiding
principles for the GO Vail 2045 Transportation and Mobility Master Plan as we move
through the process over the next 18 months. Prior to final adoption of the plan, we
may find that the draft vision statement may need additional refinement, based on the
feedback we hear and the ultimate recommendations for mobility and transportation that
evolve through the process.

Subject:Resolution No. 42 Series of 2022 Eagle Valley Transportation Authority ballot
question
I.SUMMARY
Resolution No. 42 series of 2022 is presented for Council approval. Resolution No. 42
Series of 2022 refers a ballot question on the formation of the Eagle Valley
Transportation Authority to the Vail electorate. The ballot question combines both the
formation of the Transportation Authority along with a TABOR tax increase question to
impose a ½ cent sales tax to support expanded transit service. This is the last meeting to
take action to refer this ballot question.
II.BACKGROUND
On 5/17/21, the Vail Town Council approved Resolution Number 25 of 2022 authorizing
execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement, authorizing the eight jurisdictions to
determine and then place on the ballot a question to each jurisdiction elector requesting
approval to establish and fund the Eagle River Transportation Authority as a Regional
Transportation Authority
.
The RTA Formation Committee is composed of one representative of Eagle County and
each municipality in Eagle County (not including Basalt) as well as the addition of Beaver
Creek Metro District. Barry Davis has been the Town of Vail’s representative on the
formation committee.
The government entities involved as well as the business community and nonprofit
partners have joined together to agree to the formation of a Regional Transportation
Authority to enhance and expand transit and transportation services for our residents,
businesses and visitors. An RTA is a public entity that allows local governments—
including counties, cities, towns and metro districts—to work together to address regional
transportation issues. RTAs are governed by a board of appointed elected officials
representing the partner governments and must follow open meeting and fiscal
accountability and transparency laws. RTAs must seek voter approval to collect tax
revenue to provide transportation services, which may include transit, air, roadway and
other services.

on various costs and revenues, provide input and seek community stakeholder input, and
ultimately provide direction on an RTA to be referred to voters.
As part of the formal process of setting up an RTA as defined by state statues, the local
governments involved in establishing the RTA must work together to create an IGA. The
IGA is a legal document that sets forth the governance, service goals, and other key
operating provisions of the RTA. The IGA must be agreed upon by the elected Councils
and Boards in each community, which each has done. Ultimately, voters must agree to
the formation of the RTA and any taxing or bonding requests made to provide funding for
the RTA’s services and operations.
Based on the due diligence of the RTA formation and technical committee as well as
work provided by various consultants and outreach efforts. The RTA Formation
Committee has recommended at its August 11 meeting that each entity place the
question on the ballot to ask voters approval to form and fund a regional transportation
authority. All parties to the IGA have indicated that they either have, or intend to take
action to refer the ballot question.
As was stated in May, the IGA approved then has been slightly modified as additional
detail became available, specifically will including the ballot language as well as the
transition plan.

the ECRTA Transition Period, and on eventual transition to employment by the Authority,
as further described in the Transition Plan (defined in Section 8.03).
(g)Local Service. The Authority may fund services that operate solely within the
boundaries of a single Member (as distinguished from regional services) but, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, only pursuant to an agreement to which such Member
pays the Authority for the services provided on the same fully allocated cost basis used to
determine costs of Authority services throughout the Authority’s service area.
(h)Transportation Related Infrastructure. The Authority may assume the maintenance

(k)Roadway Improvements. In recognition of the proposed EGE Airport Interchange’s
benefit to countywide transportation and its location as a potential future statewide multimodal
transportation hub, the Authority shall provide financial support for the construction of an EGE
Airport interchange, including the commitment of at least $12 million in funds, subject to
appropriation and/or voter approval of other funding mechanisms therefor in the discretion of the
Board of the Authority. Such funds are to be combined with local matching funds in support of the
pursuit of state and federal grant funds. The Authority’s contribution of such funds shall be
conditioned upon the interchange sponsors first securing all other required funds for construction
of the EGE Airport Interchange from available federal, state, and local funding sources, and the
Gypsum Question first being approved by the electors of the Town of Gypsum. The Authority’s
role with regard to the EGE Airport Interchange would be limited to providing funds for
construction as described in this Section.
Limitations on Powers of the Authority. Notwithstanding Sections 6.01 and 6.02
of this Agreement, the powers of the Authority shall be limited as follows:
(a)no action to establish or increase a tax or to create a multiple fiscal year debt or
other financial obligation that is subject to Section 20(4)(h) of Article X of the State Constitution
shall take effect unless first submitted to a vote in accordance with Section 612 of the Act;
(b)the Board shall deliver notice of any proposal to establish, increase or decrease any
tax to any County, Municipality or special district Member where the proposed tax or fee would
be imposed in accordance with Section 613 of the Act; and

Bonds shall be sent to the Division of Local Government and shall be filed with the State Auditor
and the State Transportation Commission in accordance with Section 614 of the Act.
Limitations. If any portion of the Regional Transportation System alters the
physical structure of or negatively impacts the safe operation of any state or local transportation
improvement, the Authority shall, upon the request of the Governing Body of the jurisdiction
impacted by the transportation improvement, in order to ensure coordinated transportation
planning, efficient allocation of resources, and the equitable sharing of costs, enter into an
155
15
intergovernmental agreement between the Authority and such jurisdiction concerning the
applicable portion of the Regional Transportation System before commencing physical
construction of that particular improvement.
FUNDING THE AUTHORITY
Baseline Funding. The baseline funding of the Authority shall be provided from
the following sources:
(a)Initial Authority Sales Tax. Subject to Section 2.05(b) of this Agreement, in the
event of and upon approval by the registered electors of the Ballot Question for such Member, a
sales tax of one-half percent (0.5%) shall be imposed in all areas within the boundaries of such
Member.
(b)Existing Eagle County 0.5% Transportation Sales Tax. Section 611(b) of the Act
authorizes any county, municipality, or special district that is a Member to pledge any legally
available funds to the Authority to assist in the financing, construction, operation, or maintenance
of a regional transportation system by the Authority. Pursuant to this authorization, Eagle County
shall pay to the Authority a proportion of the proceeds of the existing Eagle County 0.5%
Transportation Sales Tax (the “Existing ECO Transit Tax”), previously authorized by the voters to
finance, construct, operate or maintain a mass transportation system within Eagle County and
currently allocated to ECRTA operations, that is accrued on and after January 1 of the year
following the Effective Date of this Agreement, exclusive of all amounts collected in the areas of
Eagle County that are within the boundaries of the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority. The
proportion of the Existing ECO Transit Tax that is to be paid to the Authority shall be no less than
85% and no more than 90% of the total sum collected in Eagle County, in order to allow Eagle
County to continue to meet its obligations to the ECO Trails program. To the extent required by
law, the obligation of Eagle County to make such payments may be subject to annual appropriation
by the Board of County Commissioners of Eagle County. The Authority shall apply revenues that
it receives pursuant to this pledge solely for the financing, construction, operation, or maintenance
of mass transportation systems within Eagle County, and such revenues shall not be used for air-
service related purposes. The pledge of such revenues by Eagle County shall be a contribution of
funds in support of services provided by the Authority and shall not be deemed to be a contract for
the provision of mass transportation services.
Discretionary Member Contributions. A Member may, at its sole discretion,
offer to make cash contributions to the Authority, provide in-kind services to the Authority, or pay
costs that otherwise would have been paid by the Authority (referred to as a “Discretionary
Member Contribution”). If a Member offers to make a Discretionary Member Contribution, the
Authority may, subject to Board approval on a case-by-case basis in its discretion, provide
additional transportation services within the boundaries of such Member with a value, or grant
such Member a credit against other contributions or contract service payments to the Authority by
or on behalf of such Member, in an amount equivalent to the Discretionary Member Contribution.
156
16
Pursuit of Grants. The Authority shall actively pursue grants to support its
activities, including grants for offsetting operating and capital costs, long range planning and
environmental review, and major capital improvements. The Authority shall also cooperate and
assist Members in their pursuit of grants for transportation projects.
Capital Projects and Bonds. The Authority may fund capital projects by the
issuance of Authority Bonds pursuant to Section 609 of the Act if voter approval is obtained for
the issuance of such Bonds as required by Section 612(2) of the Act; through lease-purchase
agreements or other arrangements permitted by, and subject to compliance with the applicable
provisions of, State and federal law; or through one or more agreements with one or more
Members. Bond issuances by any Regional Transportation Enterprise formed by the Board
pursuant to Section 606 of the Act do not require voter approval.
No Implied Limits on Powers. Except as otherwise specifically provided, no
provision of this Article 7 shall limit the Authority’s powers under the Act.
REORGANIZATION
Reorganization Plan. The Authority and Eagle County will undertake best efforts
to transfer all assets and liabilities of ECRTA that are to be transferred to the Authority in
accordance with this Article 8 and the Transition Plan within a 24-month period from the date of
the Election authorizing establishment of the Authority (the “ECRTA Transition Period.”).
ECRTA Transition Period.During the ECRTA Transition Period, the Authority
will undertake the following:
(a)The Authority will assume responsibility for the services provided by ECRTA and
will begin receipt of transfers of the operating revenues of ECRTA (as distinguished from the
contributions to the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority by its members) from Eagle County no
later than January 1 of the year following formation of the Authority in accordance with Section
7.01(b) of this Agreement and the Transition Plan; provided, however, that the Authority may not
allocate such revenues to any purpose other than funding of services provided by ECRTA,
including payments under any contract with Eagle County referred to herein for services of
employees or other assets of ECTRA, in order to ensure continuity of ECO Transit services during
the ECRTA Transition Period as the provision of such services, and the transfer of assets and
liabilities, transition from Eagle County to the Authority over such period.
(b)For the purpose of continuity, the existing ECRTA Advisory Board shall be
constituted as an Advisory Committee pursuant to Article 4 of this Agreement for the purpose of
advising the Authority’s initial Board with respect to the transition of ECRTA services throughout
the ECRTA Transition Period. The Authority Board may add or remove members of the ECRTA
Advisory Board as provided for in this Agreement.
(c)Either directly or by contract with Eagle County or others, the Authority shall use
best efforts to:
157
17
(i)maintain continuity of the existing ECO Transit regional transit services
provided by ECRTA within the Authority Boundaries and to neighboring jurisdictions,
without any significant changes in routes, schedules, or equipment, during the ECRTA
Transition Period, except as provided for in the Transition Plan;
(ii)continue ongoing transportation planning efforts;
(iii)enter into or assume contracts for transit services ECRTA currently provides
to other Eagle County departments or entities no later than the end of the ECRTA Transition
Period; and
(iv)accommodate Member requests for additional or new local services on the
same fully allocated cost basis used to determine the cost of Authority services throughout
the Authority service area;
(d)The Authority will assist Eagle County to cause all relevant Eagle County assets,
liabilities, personnel, contracts, and operations to be formally transferred and assigned to the
Authority, and to enter into any required intergovernmental agreement, leases, or other contractual
arrangements to enable such transfers or assignments, prior to the conclusion of the ECRTA
Transition Period; and
(e)The ECRTA Transition Period will be deemed concluded when all issues set forth
in the Transition Plan (defined in Section 8.03) have been addressed to the satisfaction of the Board
and Eagle County.
Transition Plan.
(a)The Authority and Eagle County shall use their best efforts to implement a
“Transition Plan,” substantially consistent with the framework set forth in the Transition Plan
Framework attached hereto and incorporated herein as Appendix D, in order to implement the
provisions of this Article 8. The Transition Plan will specify how merger issues, including those
related to human resources, employee benefits, insurance, transfer of ECRTA assets, contractual
relationships (e.g. with the Town of Vail and the Town of Avon), and matters concerning the
allocation of operating and capital costs and resources will be resolved. The Transition Plan will
be approved, and may be subsequently amended, by mutual agreement of the Authority and Eagle
County, which approval and modifications shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement
and may be approved by the Authority Board as provided for under Section 3.11(a).
Maintenance of Effort.It is the intent of Eagle County that the Authority continue
to maintain countywide transit services following the completion of the Transition Period using
the revenues generated by the Existing ECO Transit Tax. Any significant reduction to the
geographic coverage of service or service standards, as compared to the services provided by ECO
Transit during the Transition Period, shall require the prior consent of Eagle County.

APPENDIX C
Initial Service Goals
182
C-1
Eagle Valley Transportation Authority
Regional Transportation Service Goals
The newly established Eagle Valley Transportation Authority, (“Authority”), shall use reasonable
efforts to achieve the following:
1. Assume Responsibility for Existing ECO Transit Service
The Authority shall assume responsibility for existing transit service as currently provided
by the Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority, (“ECO Transit”), as of January 1
of the year following RTA formation, as further detailed in the Transition Plan.
Within 12 months of RTA formation, the Authority shall develop and implement a fare-
free transit zone with expanded service, to include portions of Avon, Vail, Minturn and
Beaver Creek, as a replacement for ECO’s existing Vail/Beaver Creek Express service.
2. Increase Service on Current ECO Routes
The Authority shall begin planning for one or more of the following enhancements, to be
introduced as soon as equipment, staffing, and facilities allow:
● Increased capacity and/or service frequency on Highway 6.
● Increased all-day service frequency on Valley Route, including additional daily
connections to Doster.
● Increased service to/from Leadville.
3. Develop and Implement New Transit Routes
Develop and implement new transit service no later than December 31, 2024, to meet
needs identified during the Authority formation process, including but not limited to:
1) Eagle-Gypsum Circulator
Regular transit service connecting the Towns of Eagle and Gypsum that promotes
increased circulation in/between these communities and provides efficient connection
to other regional routes.
2) Limited Stop Express Service
Additional rush hour express service targeting peak workforce commute hours.
3) Airport Express Service
Additional service connecting Eagle County Airport to Avon, Beaver Creek, and Vail
In addition, the Authority may explore the feasibility of offering additional regional transit
services as needs are identified in future Transit Development plans.
183
C-2
4. Accelerate Conversion of Fleet and Facilities to Zero-Emission Operations
The Authority shall take the following steps toward zero-emission operations:
1) Conversion of ECO’s existing Highway 6 bus service to a zero-emission platform, on
a timeframe that evaluates available grant funds, anticipated increases in range and
performance capacity of zero-emission buses, and allocation of available Authority
funds to other expenditures which may increase ridership.
2) Development of zero-emission plans, timelines, and budgets for additional routes
and facilities as outlined in an initial RTA Transit Development Plan, to be created
following RTA formation.
5. Invest in Transit-Related Facilities and Infrastructure
The Authority shall allocate a portion of available revenues to upgrade existing facilities
to support planned service expansion. In addition, funds will be set aside in a capital
improvement fund to support fleet replacement and future construction of essential
transit-related and transit-supportive facilities. Uses of these funds may include:
1) Expansion of the existing Swift Gulch or MSC facilities to support additional
operations and/or dedicated staff housing.
2) Construction and/or expansion of additional facilities as identified in the initial Transit
Development Plan (TDP).
6. Support Local Air Service
The Authority will pledge funding to support expanded year round air service for
residents and visitors of Eagle County.
7. Regional Transportation System Planning
The Authority shall embark on a 5-year Transit Development Plan (TDP) as one of its
first tasks upon formation. This plan should be completed within 12-18 months of the
appointment of the initial Authority Executive Director.
184
APPENDIX D
Transition Plan Framework
185
D-1
Eagle Valley Transportation Authority Transition Plan Framework
Eagle County’s pledge of a portion of the Countywide .5% Mass Transportation sales tax
and transfer of associated assets is contingent upon the interim RTA Board and Eagle
County mutually agreeing to a Transition Plan following voter approval of the RTA.
Transfer of funding will require completion of specific required elements as outlined in
that Transition Plan. This document outlines Eagle County’s expectations regarding the
minimum administrative, legal, accounting, and financial procedures that must be
established by the RTA in order to transfer responsibility for the operation of current ECO
Transit services.
Continuity of Service:
The RTA is expected to take on the responsibility for providing current ECO Transit service
while simultaneously pursuing additional improvements and economies of scale with new
funding generated by the RTA sales tax. A portion of Eagle County’s existing 0.5% sales
tax is expected to fund current ECO Transit service or its functional equivalent in terms of
hours, frequency, and geographic coverage. This equates to target ECO Transit seasonal
service levels during the Transition Period and beyond equivalent to at least 85% of the
Winter 2021/2022 and Summer 2022 scheduled service hours below:
Route Daily Service Hours - Winter
Season
Daily Service Hours -
Summer Season
Valley 75.4 69.79
Highway 6 132.12 107.33
Leadville 11.15 9.38
Minturn 13.5 10.5
Vail-BC Express 13.33 0
Total 245.5 197
Any significant reduction to the geographic coverage of service or service standards must
be recommended by the RTA Board and approved by the Board of County
Commissioners, unless a different arrangement is agreed to by both parties. This
requirement applies to service that has traditionally been provided by ECO Transit only.
Expansion, enhancement, or reduction of services initiated by the RTA remain the sole
responsibility of the RTA Board. This service equivalency requirement does not preclude
186
D-2
the reasonable restructuring or realignment of these routes in the future by the RTA,
provided geographic coverage equivalent to the above routes is maintained and the
impetus for specific route changes is to create operational efficiencies and leverage new
economies of scale.
Phased Transition of Current Operations:
The RTA will assume responsibility for ECO Transit operations in several phases as the
relevant administrative and management capacity can be developed. Transition of
various aspects of ECO Transit operations to the RTA will not occur until specific
administrative, financial, and legal requirements have been met. Full transition will require
the transfer of revenue, assets, personnel, and existing contractual agreements, as well
as the creation of new agreements and/or other mechanisms for providing legal,
administrative, IT, financial, and other services that are currently provided by other County
Departments. The cost of these services is partially reflected by the $600k/year
administrative fee included in ECO Transit’s annual budget, but actual costs for these
services may differ depending on how the RTA chooses to staff or contract for these
elements. A minimum of $750,000/year should be included in the initial RTA budget to
compensate the County for administrative services that may continue to be performed on
behalf of the RTA during the transition period.
Management of the transition process and ongoing RTA liaison activities will require one
Eagle County FTE. This position will be expected to manage the revenue transfer
process, any future contracts between the County and RTA, and coordinate ECG’s
ongoing County-specific involvement in transit/transportation issues County-wide.
Proposed transition phases include:
Phase 1: Administrative Establishment
As a new legal entity, the RTA will need to establish a minimum administrative structure
before hiring permanent staff and assuming responsibility for current or future operations.
Administrative establishment procedures will begin as soon as reasonably possible upon
approval of the ballot measures.
Administrative establishment procedures will include:
Establishing the RTA Board;
Establishing a regular RTA Board meeting schedule and Board procedures;
187
D-3
Identifying and contracting an Interim Executive Director (ED) to facilitate the
administrative start-up process;
Contracting for Interim Legal Services;
Identifying and staffing subcommittees, if desired, to assist with administrative
tasks;
Developing a proposed RTA start up budget; and
Developing and issuing consultant/vendor RFPs to support the RTA during the
Transition Period.
Phase 1 elements are expected to take up to 12 months.
Phase 2a: Further Development of Administrative Policies and
Procedures
Once Board processes have been established and legal counsel is on board the interim
ED will work with the board to establish additional administrative policies and procedures
to allow for the hiring of permanent personnel, including a permanent Executive Director,
and executing appropriate additional contracts and agreements for service.
Phase 2b: Transition of Revenues and Financial Operations
Transition of revenues and financial operations may begin once Phase 1 Administrative
establishment procedures have been completed, but are expected to begin by January
1, 2024. Specific activities in this area should include:
Establishment of an administrative mechanism for recurring transfers of the
relevant portion of the County’s existing 0.5% mass transportation sales tax to the
RTA;
Full transfer of all responsibilities related to on-board and advanced pass sale
revenue collection, including accounting and auditing procedures;
Full transfer of Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable functions to RTA
staff or contractors; and
Establishment of appropriate permanent financial accounting and audit
procedures.
Revenue Transfer:
Current ECO Transit operations are funded by a Countywide sales tax for mass
transportation of 0.5%, along with fare sales and advertising revenues. A minimum of
188
D-4
10% of this mass transportation tax is used to fund ECO Trails. Portions of this tax
collected in the Roaring Fork Valley are used to pay Eagle County’s RFTA transit/trails
contributions.
Recurring Sales Tax Collections
Eagle County will retain a minimum of 10% to a maximum of 15% of the county mass transit
tax annually to cover salaries, construction, maintenance and debt service payments
related to the Eagle Valley Trail.
The current expectation is for Eagle County to operate and maintain the Eagle Valley Trail
through completion of all remaining trail segments as identified in the Eagle Valley Trails
Plan. Eagle County may transfer trail ownership and maintenance to the RTA, along with
revenues that exceed the debt service payment obligations of Eagle County, after
December 31, 2024, subject to with BoCC and RTA Board approval. Planning activities
for this transition, if agreed, may occur during the Transition Period.
Eagle County will also continue to retain the portions of this tax currently allocated to
RFTA for transit and trail activities in the Roaring Fork Valley portion of Eagle County.
These funds will continue to be transferred to RFTA as has been done in the past.
During the transition period, funds transferred will be net of all transit-related costs
including any costs related to administrative, maintenance, or operations activities the
County continues to perform on behalf of the RTA, including salaries and benefits of ECO
Transit personnel who are providing RTA services. At the conclusion of the transition
period, funds transferred will continue to be net of any payments for leases or services
Eagle County provides to the RTA under IGAs, leases, or other relevant agreements
between the two entities.
Farebox and Pass Sales
The RTA will establish a separate contract for Financial and Accounting services as soon
as possible, with the expectation this contract will be in place by December 31, 2023.
Eagle County will continue to collect and process farebox revenues according to
established procedures pending the completion of the Phase 1 Administrative
Establishment procedures. The RTA will assume responsibilities as soon as possible but
no later than December 31, 2024.
189
D-5
Advertising Revenue
Any outstanding contracts for advertising that generate revenue will be terminated by
Eagle County in accordance with the prevailing contract terms and renegotiated and
reprocured by the RTA unless otherwise agreed between Eagle County and the RTA.
Current Account Balances and Other Accruals
ECO Transit Fund Balance
ECO Transit’s existing fund balance will remain with Eagle County to be used for
transportation purposes consistent with the provisions of the existing sales tax. Portions
of this fund balance may be transferred to the RTA on a case-by-case basis to support
capital investments by request of the RTA Board and with the approval of the Board of
County Commissioners.
Accrued Interest
Any interest accrued on the ECO Transit Fund Balance will remain with the County and
not be included in regular revenue transfers.
Interdepartmental Transfer Revenue
ECO Transit operates service on behalf of other County Departments (Healthy Aging,
MIRA). These contracts and operations will be transferred to the RTA no later than
December 31, 2024. All other annual service contracts will be renegotiated by the RTA at
its discretion, with the expectation that the RTA will be fully responsible for all of these
services by December 31, 2024.
Phase 3: Transfer of Rolling Stock and Facilities
Rolling Stock:
All vehicles titled to ECG will be transferred to the new entity and titled/insured by
December 31, 2024. A list of current ECO Transit vehicles is included as Attachment A.
This includes transfer of any grant liabilities or CDOT liens, which are also identified in
Attachment A.
Vehicle ownership will be transferred on a rolling basis to allow for continuity of operations
while required administrative processing takes place, beginning in April 2024, following
the conclusion of the Winter season. A maximum of 10 vehicles will be pulled out of
service at any given time to undergo administrative processing. As a vehicle is registered
and returned to service, another vehicle will enter the transfer process. Vehicles will be
190
D-6
transferred to the RTA as expeditiously as possible, with the expectation that all vehicles
will be registered to the RTA and enter RTA service by the start of the Winter 2024 season
in late November. The RTA and Eagle County will enter into appropriate agreements to
allow for continued operations by the other party, as applicable, following the transfer of
ownership, until the full transition of operations to the RTA is complete. It is expected that
the operating party will responsible for all legal liabilities, provision of insurance, and
similar requirements associated with vehicle operations.
Three Avon Transit vehicles will be transferred to the RTA on a no-cost basis, to serve
routes previously operated by Avon Transit that are being incorporated into the RTA. If
necessary, this transfer will include the transfer of all grant liabilities or CDOT liens. These
vehicles will be transferred together at the conclusion of Avon’s Winter 2023-2024
season.
No vehicles owned by Vail Transit or Beaver Creek Transit are currently expected to
transfer to the RTA.
Any future vehicle transfers will be governed by terms set by the RTA and the relevant
jurisdiction.
Transit Facilities:
ECO Transit currently operates out of multiple facilities. These include County-owned
facilities such as the Maintenance Service Center (MSC) in Gypsum, the Leadville Bus
Barn, bus shelters, and park and rides; Avon’s Swift Gulch facility; and the Vail
Transportation Center (VTC). Some of these facilities will be transferred to the RTA while
others will continue to host operations and/or maintenance under new IGAs with mutually
negotiated provisions.
County-owned Facilities
Gypsum MSC
ECO Transit occupies a portion of this County owned facility. Accommodations will be
made over the short term for the RTA to continue operating out of this facility via an IGA
or other appropriate lease/agreement. It is Eagle County’s expectation that the terms of
this facility use agreement will be equivalent to terms offered by Avon, Vail, or any other
member jurisdiction that may house RTA facilities in the future.
191
D-7
At the outset, the IGA will include all areas currently included in ECO Transit’s existing
space allocation, i.e. the bus barn/storage area, and ECO Transit staff offices in buildings
A and B.
Note that this facility is on Airport owned land and is subject to FAA lease/operating terms.
Lease rates will be calculated based on fair market value rates in the area. Lease terms
will not exceed the maximum years allowed by FAA regulations.
Leadville Bus Barn
The County owns a bus barn in Leadville. ECO Transit currently bases two vehicles at
this facility and rents remaining space to Summit Stage. The County will continue to own
and maintain this facility, renting the currently occupied space to the RTA at cost. The
County will continue to rent space to Summit Stage at its discretion.
Bus Shelters and Park and Rides
The RTA will assume responsibility for planning, construction, and maintenance of
shelters and Park and Rides by December 31, 2024. Eagle County will retain ownership
of all land and right of way, unless and until transferred to the RTA. All necessary
easements shall be in place by December 31, 2024, and include appropriate liability
insurance policies. A list of these assets is included in Attachment A.
Avon-owned Facilities
Avon Regional Transit Facility (Swift Gulch)
The Avon Regional Transit Facility was built just over 10 years ago with assistance of
Federal TIGER grant funding. The facility was always envisioned to serve as the up-valley
hub to support regional transit in addition to serving Avon’s transit. Swift Gulch serves as
a secondary base for vehicles storage and maintenance. It is anticipated that this facility
will increase in importance as a mid-Valley operating base for the RTA.
Operations out of this facility are currently governed by an IGA. Under current terms, ECO
Transit pays a per-bay fee plus a proportional share of Capital, Operations and
Maintenance ("O&M"), and Asset Management costs. Capital and Asset Management
charges are fixed for the term of the Agreement. O&M Costs are audited each year and
subject to change upon written notice by the Town of Avon no later than June 1 of any
given year, with any changes effective by January 1 of the succeeding year. Maintenance
and fueling activities performed by Avon/Swift Gulch staff are charged an hourly rate plus
materials at a 15% markup. ECO Transit currently rents 9 spaces under this agreement.

Avon and the RTA will conclude a new IGA to take effect no later than January 1, 2024.
The terms of the new IGA will, at a minimum, be similar to the terms of the existing IGA
between Eagle County and the Town of Avon, included as Attachment B.
Going forward, Avon has begun a design process to construct a new Public Works facility
with the intent to move all Operations, Engineering and Building and Facilities personnel
and operations out of the Avon Regional Transit Facility. The target date for this move is
2025, after which the Avon Regional Transit Facility footprint could be expanded to
support the RTA’s regional transit operations. Avon has already begun seeking potential
design and construction grants to expand the Avon Regional Transit Facility in
anticipation of this future need.
Vail-owned Facilities
Vail Transportation Center
ECO Transit has an IGA with the Town of Vail for use of the Customer Service Booth and
to operate out of the facility, included as Attachment C. This IGA will be renegotiated
between the RTA and Town of Vail, with a new IGA to take effect no later than January
1, 2024. The terms of the new IGA will, at a minimum, be similar to the terms of the
existing IGA between Eagle County and the Town of Vail.
The Town of Vail is currently developing plans to expand and upgrade the Vail
Transportation Center facility into a full-scale mobility hub. This work includes the
expansion of the capacity of the facility to handle the increased use for all transit providers
including ECO/RTA as they expand, and to provide charging capabilities for electric
transit vehicles as the fleets transition. This is the busiest stop in the entire ECO Transit
system. This project is currently in the CDOT 10-year plan at a value of $15.0M and was
the number one transit project in the Intermountain planning region. The town recently
applied for a $1.5M Multimodal Options Fund (MMOF) expenditure which the town is
providing half as a match and the MMOF Grant the other half to begin design work for
this facility.
ECO Transit current operations benefit from operating out of this facility which provides
heated waiting areas, bathrooms, as well as transit bays, and the Town of Vail has paid
for all operations, maintenance and capital investments over the years. It is expected the
RTA will continue to operate out of the facility on the same terms as ECO Transit’s current
use of the facility.
193

Lionshead Transit Center
ECO Transit’s current operations benefit from operating out of this facility which provides
heated waiting areas, bathrooms, as well as transit bays and the town has paid for all
operations, maintenance and capital investments over the years. It is expected the RTA
would continue to operate out of the facility on the same terms as ECO Transit’s current
use of the facility.
Other Facilities
Lake Creek Village
ECO Transit operations at this facility are currently authorized under an encroachment
license with the property owner. This encroachment license will be transferred to the RTA
as soon as possible, but no later than December 31, 2024.
Phase 4: Transfer of Administrative Responsibilities and Personnel
During the transition period, the RTA will make specific decisions regarding the number
of direct-hire staff needed and what, if any, administrative and technical functions may
be contracted out. ECO Transit is only partially staffed with respect to these
organizational functions and as a result pays an annual “administrative service fee” to
the County for providing these services. This fee is based on a percentage of ECO’s
budget and varies from year to year, but it is generally around $600k. Contracts for
functions that must be stood up independently such as Legal, Finance, and HR are
expected to be executed during Phase 1 of the transition prior to any transfer of revenues
or other responsibilities.
As staffing decisions are made, existing ECO Transit personnel with satisfactory
performance records and relevant qualifications may be transitioned from the County to
the RTA. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the County will retain sufficient
revenue pledged to the RTA to offset the costs of all of its personnel until they transition
to the RTA, or other arrangements are made. All decisions regarding the transition of
administrative personnel shall be made by January 1, 2024. The RTA and County will use
best efforts to minimize disruptions to retained personnel during the transfer period.
Administrative personnel will be eligible to be transitioned once Eagle County confirms
adequate administrative and financial procedures are in place. Staff positions that may
be impacted during an initial round of transitions are:

Some specific considerations have already been identified with respect to Information
Technology (IT) and the assumption of responsibility for State and Federal grant
agreements. These are outlined below.
Specific Needs Related to Information Technology:
ECO Transit uses technology software and hardware that to a large extent are a part of
the overall Eagle County IT ecosystem. The implementation of this technology ecosystem
was never designed with any thought towards breaking off the ECO Transit components
and operating them independently. Note that of the technology software and hardware
specific to ECO Transit, much of it is legacy technology that is currently under review for
both right-sizing and potential transition to a cloud-based model, whether or not RTA
formation is successful.
Standing up a sustainable and independent technology function within 24 months of RTA
formation may be impractical and cost prohibitive due to the lead time and resources
necessary. RTA and Eagle County may determine to enter into an IGA for technology
services until the RTA stands up its own capacity.
Some specific technology functions that should be addressed and related considerations
include:
Backend Hardware: Server instances are highly virtualized and both server and storage
hardware is shared across all departments. Actual individual hardware components
involved are fairly minimal in number, with system redundancy considerations being a
195
D-11
significant element of overall design. It would be difficult to separate single pieces of
hardware from one another and still have acceptable system redundancy (for both Eagle
County and / or the RTA). Provisions for shared access to this hardware should be
included in a future IGA until the RTA no longer operates at the Gypsum MSC or makes
other arrangements for servers/storage.
Backend Software: Eagle County IT provides ECO Transit with both Enterprise software
that is common to all Eagle County departments, as well as Line of Business (LOB)
software unique to ECO's specific operating needs. Regarding the Enterprise software
(Financials, HR / Payroll, Office Productivity, etc.), the RTA should select and implement
their own systems based upon perceived needs and costs. The RTA should begin the
process of identifying and contracting vendors for this process during the Phase 1
Administrative Establishment period.
In general, LOB software can be transferred to the RTA. The main issue centers on the
highly complex Clever Devices CleverWorks solution which forms the backbone of ECO’s
vehicle location, communication, and data collection systems. ECO Transit currently has
a vision of replacing CleverWorks with a more fit for purpose system. Assuming the short
term outlook for this application, it would likely not make sense to invest in the required
technology hardware and personnel resources necessary to port this system over to the
RTA. Arrangements should be made within the IGA for Eagle County IT to continue
providing support to this function until a new software system is identified and
implemented, ideally by December 21, 2024.
Eagle County’s Fleet Department currently maintains all official maintenance records
related to transit vehicles owned by Eagle County. Provisions should be made for the
eventual transfer of these records prior to the initiation of any vehicle transfers.
Networking Hardware / Software: The Gypsum MSC is one of ECO’s primary operating
locations and is expected to remain so during and after the transition to an RTA. The
MSC also provides office space and facilities for a combination of other Eagle County
departments which all depend on Eagle County networking services in order to utilize
their various software applications. In general, all networking equipment located at the
MSC will continue to be necessary to support ongoing Eagle County department
operations, and therefore cannot be transferred to the RTA. Where there are exceptions,
such as the fixed outdoor wireless antennas used to communicate data between buses
and CleverWorks, these items may be transferred at cost. Additionally, transferring over
any maintenance agreement aspects related to the networking hardware and software
may or may not be viable. Arrangements should be made within the IGA for Eagle County
IT to continue providing support for these functions indefinitely. This arrangement would
196
D-12
require the RTA and associated users to comply with all Eagle County requirements
regarding network security or forfeit access to the system.
Personal Computers: Personal computers assigned to ECO Transit staff can be
physically transferred to the RTA if desired by both parties. Potential issues that may arise
are associated with the privacy considerations (data on the PC) as well as software
licensing. Prior to any transfer Eagle County IT will format the PC hard drives, wiping all
data and rebuilding with software licensed by RTA. Any equipment transferred will be
transferred at cost.
Peripheral Equipment: Printers / scanners, etc. County owned devices can simply be
physically transferred over to the RTA. Multi function printers may require contractual
amendments in order
to move over any applicable maintenance function. Any equipment transferred will be
transferred at cost.
Software Licenses: 1) Vendor licensing pertaining to LOB software can likely be
transferred to the RTA given requisite contracting amendments are implemented. 2)
Enterprise software licensing will likely require new purchases / agreements 3) Windows
Operating System licenses likely can not be transferred and will have to be purchased as
well.
Voice Services: County provided cellular phones can be transferred if the RTA wants to
provide such a service to their staff. Traditional voice phone service will require the RTA
to implement its own voice system.
State and Federal Grant Agreements:
ECO Transit accesses state and federal grant dollars for administrative and operating
costs, rolling stock replacement, as well as other capital and/or planning projects. All
ongoing capital grants and related reporting requirements will transfer to the RTA at the
beginning of CDOT’s 2025 fiscal year (July 1, 2024).
The RTA will apply for state capital and operating grants as a separate entity from CDOT’s
FY 2025 onwards, with the expectation that all of these elements will be fully transitioned
by the beginning of CDOT’s 2025 fiscal year (July 1, 2024).
197
D-13
Phase 5a: Transfer of Vehicle Maintenance Responsibilities and
Personnel
ECO Transit Fleet vehicles are currently maintained by Eagle County’s Fleet Department,
with some services performed by the Town of Avon under an IGA. There are 2.5 Fleet Care
Technicians/Transit Vehicle Detailers that are current employees of the ECO Transit
department, along with one Fleet Asset Supervisor.
Fleet Maintenance:
Costs for maintenance, fueling, lubricants, parts, etc. are budgeted in the ECO Transit
fund and paid via departmental transfer. Estimated costs are based on estimated (budget)
and actual service hours. Upon RTA formation, it is assumed that Eagle County’s fleet
department will continue to provide these services for the RTA via an IGA with specified
hours and costs, on terms similar to those contained in the sample IGAs included as
Attachment D. The RTA will not be under any long term obligation to continue to utilize
Eagle County’s fleet department.
The Town of Avon performs fueling and limited maintenance for ECO Transit vehicles
housed at the Swift Gulch facility via an IGA. Service is performed at the Fleet
Maintenance Facility adjacent to the Avon Regional Transit Facility. Approximately 65-
70% of the operations are fleet maintenance for vehicles and rolling stock for other public
entities. Beaver Creek and ECO Transit buses are a substantial portion of this other local
government maintenance work. Avon intends to continue offering fleet maintenance
service at cost. Specific provisions for fleet maintenance performed at this facility will be
included in the new IGA between the RTA and the Town of Avon referenced elsewhere
in the Transition Plan. A sample of this IGA is included as Attachment B.
Eagle County’s Fleet Department currently maintains all official maintenance records
related to transit vehicles owned by Eagle County. Provisions should be made for the
eventual transfer of these records prior to the initiation of any vehicle transfers.
Transit Fleet Care Team:
ECO Transit currently employs one Fleet Asset Supervisor, two full-time year-round
Transit Fleet Care Technicians, and one winter seasonal Fleet Care Technician.
As staffing decisions are made, existing ECO Transit personnel with satisfactory
performance records and relevant qualifications may be transitioned from the County to
the RTA. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the County will retain sufficient
198
D-14
revenue pledged to the RTA to offset the costs of all of its personnel until they transition
to the RTA or other arrangements are made. All decisions regarding the transition of Fleet
Care personnel shall be made by April 30, 2024. The RTA and County will use best efforts
to minimize disruptions to retained personnel during the transition period.
Staff positions that may be impacted during this round of transitions include:
Position Associated FTE

Phase 5a: Transfer of Transit Facility Maintenance Responsibilities and
Personnel
Trail and Facility Maintenance Personnel:
ECO Transit and ECO Trails currently share 3 FTE with combined responsibilities for
Transit and Trails maintenance. One of these three positions is currently funded by ECO
Trails.
As staffing decisions are made, existing ECO Transit personnel with satisfactory
performance records and relevant qualifications may be transitioned from the County to
the RTA.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the County will retain sufficient revenue
pledged to the RTA to offset the costs of all of its personnel until they transition to the
RTA or other arrangements are made. All decisions regarding the transition of
Transit/Trails Maintenance personnel shall be made by April 30, 2024. The RTA and
County will use best efforts to minimize disruptions to retained personnel during the
transition period.
Staff positions that may be impacted during an initial round of transitions are:
199
D-15
Position
Associated FTE

Total Impacted FTE 3
Eagle County may also choose to retain the FTE position currently funded by trails and/or
add additional personnel to be paid in the future out of the Trails budget. Maintenance
responsibilities related to the existing Eagle Valley Trail could also be included as a
component of the future IGA for services between Eagle County and the RTA. Costs
associated with any maintenance agreement(s) will be subtracted from the RTA’s
obligations to Eagle County.
Phase 6: Full Transfer of Operational Responsibilities and Personnel
Full transfer of operational responsibilities and personnel will take place during the last
stage of transition, with the expectation the RTA will be responsible for either direct
operation or contract administration related to all functions by the start of the 2024 Winter
season in November.
Operations Personnel:
As staffing decisions are made, existing ECO Transit personnel with satisfactory
performance records and relevant qualifications may be transitioned from the County to
the RTA. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the County will retain sufficient
revenue pledged to the RTA to offset the costs of all of its personnel until they transition
to the RTA or other arrangements are made. All decisions regarding the transition of
Operations personnel shall be made but no later than July 31, 2024. The RTA and County
will use best efforts to minimize disruptions to retained personnel during the transition
period.

Subject:Please Vote Yes to Put RTA on the Ballot
Date:Tuesday, September 6, 2022 5:50:39 PM
Hello Town Council,
Nothing like last minute but wanted to send a quick note regarding your decision tonight and
putting the RTA on the Vail ballot. Please do just that. Vote yes, vote to help our workers,
vote to help retain our workers who are having to move farther and farther away from their
place of work. Many on this Town Council say that we need to look downvalley for projects to
house our workers. Okay, how do they get to work then? We don't want them to have cars as
part of our sustainability efforts, and hey, we don't really have any place for them to park
anyway. So how will we ever retain workers if we don't start investing and creating
infrastructure to our valley wide transportation system.
It seems like a no brainer to me and the rest of the business community. Let's get a win that is
pro-business so our community knows that its Town Council really does care about them and
their future in Vail and Eagle County.
Sincerest regards,
Alison

To: Vail Town Council
From: Paul Cada, Wildland Program Manager
Date: September 6th, 2022
Subject: Update on Voluntary Fire Free Five Implementation
I. Background
In the spring of 2022 Vail Fire and Emergency Services made several presentations to
council regarding the implementation of defensible space throughout the community.
While defensible space across the entire property is important new research released in
2022 highlights the critical need to have high quality defensible space within the first five
feet of the building (Fire Free Five). While council chose to table proposed code
amendments, staff was directed to implement voluntary programs throughout the
community to improve defensible space especially within the fire free five. Council
authorized $150,000 in funding for the Fire Free Five Community Assistance Program
as well as $150,000 in funding to implement fire free five around all town owned
buildings.
II. Current Situation
Vail Fire and Emergency Services has been very actively engaged in fire free five
implementation in 2022. The department is taking a multi-pronged approach to
voluntary compliance with best practices. Through a combination of community
outreach, financial assistance and additional programs positive progress is being seen
throughout the community.
As with all programs community outreach has been the center of all the department is
doing. Wildland Division staff has met with more than 100 property owners this year to
discuss fire free five. A specific page was developed on the department webpage and
the information was also presented during the community meeting and picnics.
Following the approval of funding the department launched the Fire Free Five
Community Assistance Program (FFFCAP) on May 22nd. This program has provided
financial assistance to 51 participates so far in 2022. All available funding was
committed on August 18th and the department has been receiving additional requests
for funding from the community. Of the 51 participants there where 21 single family
properties, 13 duplexes, 15 multifamily and 0 commercial properties. Participants have
been using the funding for tree pruning, replacement of combustible mulch, and removal
of shrubs and some trees.
231
Town of Vail Page 2
The department has also been boosting efforts through the free curbside chipping
program and new Community Work Days. Curbside chipping is a service that the
department has been providing since 2007 and is popular throughout the community.
Requests this year have far exceeded annual averages with over 235 tons of materials
chipped so far in 2022. It is projected that we will double the material chipped in 2021 by
the end of the season. Most community members use the service to dispose of limbs
and small materials from their property. Some residents use the service to offset costs
when hiring trees services to perform mitigation work.
2022 was the launch of the Community Work Days program. This program provides up
to 30 minutes of free labor to community members to assist with fire mitigation around
the property. The department dedicated 4 days to this program and assisted 29
property owners with fuels reduction work. Wildland Division Staff worked alongside
community members to prune trees, remove flammable debris, knock down tall grass
and other small jobs. This unique program was greatly appreciated by community
members and was featured in a news story by 9 News.
The department has also been working with Public Works staff to implement fire free
five around all town buildings. To date every building has been evaluated and a plan for
implementation developed. Public works has released requests for proposals for tree
work and landscape modification with the intention of completion that work in the fall of
2022. Some landscape redesign will occur over the winter and new compliant
landscaping will be installed in the spring/ summer of 2022.
Vail Fire and Emergency Services is seeing positive movement towards implementation
of fire free five in the community. Cost share programs and free community services
are reaching our engaged community and are helping to drive action. Some portions of
the community, especially commercial properties, have not participated in the available
programs and in general are slow to adopt change. Through these voluntary efforts we
have also identified some areas where mixed messages may be perceived by the
community. Legacy landscaping practices and the lack of regulation on installing
landscaping is counter to the effort it can take to remove landscaping. Vail Fire and
Emergency Services and Community Development are actively working on direction to
reduce these perceived conflicts.
Vail Fire is proud of positive work being accomplished in the community. The voluntary
programs are making a positive difference. These programs so far have been utilized
by the engaged community members. While good progress is being made it is also
recognized that some community members are either apathetic or resistant to the
changes. Reducing the community risk to wildfire will require action by all property
members. Vail Fire and Emergency Services looks forward to continued engagement
with Council, other town department and most importantly the community on Fire Free
Five.
III. Questions for Council

Fire Free Five-Things to Consider
Town of Vail | www.vailgov.com/fire |
•Fire Free Five does have an aesthetic change on a property compared to legacy landscaping practices. Through
appropriate design and landscape maintenance it is possible to have attractive landscaping while reducing
wildfire risk.
•Some tree removal is a necessary part of creating fire free five. While pruning trees from the ground and away
from buildings are an option this may create unhealthy/ unstable trees. Many properties in the community are
over-landscaped with trees.
•Thought should be given in consideration of which and how many trees should be retained as well as
whether it is possible and/or desirable to start new trees in better planting spaces.
•Some town code and development direction may send mixed messages to the community regarding landscaping.
Duplex lots in particular, present the largest challenge to consistent implementation of Fire Free Five.
•Voluntary efforts towards implementation are going well. Many full time and engaged part time community
members are taking steps to reduce wildfire risk. Engagement has been very low with commercial properties.

To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Economic Development Department
Date: 9/6/2022
Subject: Repeal Town Code Section Title 3, Chapter 6, Commission on Special Events
I. SUMMARY
The purpose of this memorandum is to explain the need to repeal the current section of Town
Code regarding the Commission on Special Events.
II. BACKGROUND
In 2004, the Town of Vail established by ordinance the Commission on Special Events (CSE).
The CSE has effectively reviewed proposals and made funding recommendations for special
events over the last 18 years, contributing to a robust and diverse calendar of events to support
the tourism and economic development goals of the town. During this time, as the town’s
staffing, finance, and operations have evolved, the roles and functions of the CSE have also
evolved, necessitating an update to the town code.
The stated mission of the CSE is to “support the Town Council’s goals and objectives and align
its mission with the Town Council’s marketing direction.” While the mission has not changed, the
codified functions of the CSE are no longer relevant and have not been in practice for over 7
years. In addition, as outlined in § 3-6-7 FUNCTIONS OF THE CSE (B) below, “Qualifying
cultural events” (also known as council funded events) are “exempt from the purview and
funding of the CSE”. For over three years, CSE has reviewed pre and post event presentations
and released funding for council funded events.
§ 3-6-7 FUNCTIONS OF THE CSE.
(A) The CSE shall support the Town Council’s goals and objectives and align its
mission with the Town Council’s marketing direction. The functions and/or duties of CSE
shall include, but are not limited to: hiring and overseeing a Director and/or staff, as well
as event producers and/or promoters; creating, funding and seeking special events for
the Town of Vail; evaluating event applications and event success; submitting an annual
budget for operations and events; coordinating the community calendar for special
events; seeking out additional funding for special events through sponsorships and
donations; evaluating and executing contracts for special events; and all other functions
as directed by the Town Council.
(B) Qualifying cultural events shall be exempt from the purview and funding of the
CSE. However, coordination and timing of qualifying cultural events shall be considered
by the CSE and included in the CSE master calendar.
(Ord. 30(2004) § 7)
248
Town of Vail Page 2
The current roles and responsibilities of the CSE are to allocate funding for special events in the
Cultural Recreation and Community, and Education and Enrichment categories, review pre and
post event presentations for town funded events, and release payment for events based on
successful execution of the event. Town code currently includes outdated functions such as
hiring staff, submitting annual budgets, and evaluating and executing contracts.
Over the last six months the special event funding model and process has been evaluated by
CSE, staff and an outside consultant. Changes have been recommended to provide:
1. A streamlined application process for all event producers requesting sponsorship
2. Improved alignment between event sponsorship request and the goals of the town
3. Tangible valuation calculations for special event sponsorships based on industry standards
4. Greater oversight to the CSE of all events, not just those recommended by CSE.
This process has been reviewed by the Town Council and the CSE and effectively replaces the
current process without the need for a codified commission.
III. RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending that the Town Council repeal the Town Code Title 3, chapter 6,
Commission on Special Events. The Commission on Special events would continue forward as
the Committee on Special Events, as an advisory council appointed by Town Council,
structured similar to the Vail Local Marketing District Advisory Council and Vail Economic
Advisory Council. The Current CSE members would continue their roles, with the following
responsibilities:
• Review bi-annual Special Event Sponsorship Request for Proposal, recommending
target need periods, visitor demographics, event types, and other goals of the town.
• Score event sponsorship requests and recommend a sponsorship amount.
• Review post event recap reports and recommend approval, modification or denial of final
funding payment.
• A representative of the CSE may be appointed to the Event Funding Committee by
Town Council to participate in the quantitative evaluation of sponsorship proposals.
Based on the recommended changes to the Special Event Funding Model as presented on
August 16, 2022, the CSE would review sponsorship requests for all town events, merging the
process of events previously funded by council and the CSE. Town Council would retain final
approval of all event sponsorships.
IV. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Approve, approve with amendments, or deny Ordinance No. 17, Series of 2022 on First
Reading.
