Purpose The purpose of this memorandum is to receive direction from the Vail Town Council on the redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. This worksession is intended to be the first of many meetings with the Vail Town Council, the Vail Local Housing Authority, and the Vail community as the Housing Department and Triumph Development West begin breaking what will be a long list of topics for discussion and decision-making. This action facilitates achieving the Town’s adopted housing goal and continues to provide housing solutions to the #1 most critical issue facing the Vail community – the lack of the availability of homes for year-round and seasonal residents. II. Timber Ridge Village Apartments Redevelopment A. Redevelopment Goals and Objectives The following redevelopment goals and objectives were adopted by the Vail Town Council and will be used to guide future decision-making: Seize the full opportunity - The redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments will serve an integral role in strengthening the supply of deed- restricted homes in Vail by providing for a minimum of 200 dwelling units. Deed-restricted homes are the highest priority - 100% of the new homes shall be deed-restricted for resident occupancy with preference granted to employees working at businesses in the Town of Vail. 7 2 Optimize this housing opportunity - Given the scarcity of developable land for deed-restricted homes in Vail, the density, height, and scale of the redevelopment shall be optimized within the parameters of the Town’s adopted land use regulations, building and fire codes, and other applicable code provisions. Minimize the impacts of the short-term loss of homes- Construction of the redevelopment project shall not begin prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Residences at Main Vail to minimize the negative impacts of vacating the Timber Ridge Village Apartments during construction. A market study shall drive the program and design - Timber Ridge Village Apartments shall be redeveloped to meet the current and future housing needs of year-round and seasonal Vail residents based upon the findings and conclusions of an updated housing needs and demand market study. Environmental stewardship is a community value – Environmental sustainability best practices shall be incorporated into the design, construction, and future operations of the new buildings including 100% electrification, solar array installation, car share program, beyond energy conservation code construction, water conservation measures, high efficiency systems, durable materials, etc. Cost is a key consideration - Financial sustainability and fiscal responsibility are key considerations of the long-term affordability of the homes and operational/maintenance needs of the property owner. Time is of the essence - Understanding the critical housing needs of the Vail community and Eagle River Valley as well as the importance of meeting the growing demands, the redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments shall be completed within 24 months of its demolition. Prioritize homes over cars - Due to its convenient location to the West Vail community commercial area and ease of access to the primary employment centers in Vail via public transit, emphasis shall be placed on optimizing the number of residential homes rather than maximizing the number of vehicles parking spaces. Lead by example – The process and outcome of the redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments shall exemplify leadership in delivering on housing and shall align with Vail’s place amongst leaders in the mountain resort communities. B. The redevelopment of Timber Ridge is characterized by five foundational topics requiring direction and decision making at this time. Each of these topics includes a list of sub-topics and issues which need to be addressed. The five foundational topics include: Transportation policy and infrastructure Programming and uses Development deal structure Funding, financing, and existing debt Displacement and relocation of residents 8 3 Timing and scheduling Transportation Current transportation policies and infrastructure of the Town of Vail are driving the potential outcome of the Timber Ridge Village Apartment redevelopment. As adopted, and codified in the Town’s Zoning Regulations, transportation needs of Vail residents are presumed to be met by the use of the private vehicle. For that reason, the Town Code prescribes minimum standards for the number of private vehicle parking spaces required per residential dwelling unit. While residents will always have the need for transportation, the means by which the needs are met can be changed. The Housing (H) District affords opportunities for applicants to deviate from the prescribed standards. For various reasons, however, to date, requests for deviations have yet to be fully supported. Alternate means of transportation include public transit, walking, biking, private shuttles, rideshare, etc. Programs like car sharing (Zipcar and Turo) and bike sharing exist to accommodate these alternate means. In the absence of changes to the Town’s transportation policies, the redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments will be limited by the number of private vehicle parking spaces that can be accommodated and/or financially supported on the site. The Vail Town Council needs to decide between optimizing residential density through infrastructure and supported alternate means of transportation or complying with the prescribed parking requirements of the Town Code. Programming and uses The programming and uses on the site need to be determined. Several possible redevelopment scenarios have been prepared for consideration. The scenarios will be further analyzed for their ability to achieve the adopted development goals and objectives and to address certain needs within the housing market. It is unlikely that there is only one option. Instead, there is an option that is most appropriate given the circumstances, at this time. Currently, a +/- 7,000 square foot amenities building is shown on the sketch plan. The future use(s) of the building will have an impact on what can be developed on the site. For instance, any use of the building which generates additional parking and site circulation demand is likely to have an impact on the amount of area to develop homes on the site. Conversely, a use which is accessory to the residential use, and therefore does not increase the demand for parking and vehicle circulation, preserves more of the site to build homes. The Vail Town Council needs to decide on programming and uses to advance the design process forward. 9 4 Development deal A development partner in Triumph Development West has been selected by prior agreement of the Vail Town Council. A final deal structure with Triumph has yet to be determined and requires further clarifications. What is clear, however, is that the Vail Town Council made a strategic decision to partner with Triumph Development West on the redevelopment of Timber Ridge. The Vail Town Council will need to articulate their expectations of a deal structure and negotiate a development agreement with Triumph Development West. A primary consideration of the deal structure is a determination of how much control the Town needs to maintain in the design and development of the new homes and the future operations and management of the new homes to achieves its development goals and objectives. Funding The redevelopment of Timber Ridge is likely to cost $90 - $100M, or more, in total. Sources of funding, development financing, and addressing approximately $5M of existing debt have yet to be communicated or discussed with the Town Council or the public. A number of key funding and financing considerations need to be decided in the near future to keep the redevelopment project progressing forward. Town staff will return to the Town Council with funding and financing options at future meetings. Currently, the Town staff is exploring potential state and federal funding sources for housing and infrastructure to facilitate the redevelopment of Timber Ridge. Displacement and relocation More than 225 Vail residents currently reside in the Timber Ridge Village Apartments. A strategic plan for the displacement and relocation of residents during redevelopment has yet to be discussed or determined. The Residences at Main Vail is likely to accommodate a portion, though not all the displaced residents. Factors such as existing vs. proposed cost of leases, home sizes, master leases, parking spaces, existing deficit of housing, etc. are likely to complicate the efforts to address displacement and relocation. What role could West Middle Creek serve in a greater displacement and relocation plan? The Vail Town Council will need to adopt a strategic relocation and displacement plan for the residents living at Timber Ridge prior to committing to a development schedule. Schedule Prior discussions regarding the timing and scheduling of construction suggested the demolition of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments beginning in September/October of 2023. This schedule anticipates an on-time delivery and occupancy of the Residences at Main Vail. While achievable through shared commitment to the schedule and alignment around the goal, a substantial amount of work and decision making is needed between now and September, 2023. It is more reasonable to presume an April, 2024 start date to afford adequate time for contracting, design development, entitlements and 10 5 approvals, and the avoidance of displacement of 225-plus residents for two winter seasons. A draft development schedule has been prepared to illustrate a proposed path forward. (See attached) A division of tasks is needed to be successful. Tasks include leadership in the following areas: Design development and deal structure (Housing Department) Funding and financing, and (Finance) Entitlements and approvals (Community Development) C.Direction and Decision Making The Housing Department and Triumph Development have been taking steps to advance the redevelopment of Timber Ridge. Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the parties have initiated and completed the first of two phases of market demand study. In sum, the demand for housing within the region is so significant and under-addressed that, generally speaking, no matter what gets developed on the site, it will fill a niche in the housing market. The second phase of the market study is to evaluate two or three different potential development scenarios and determine to what degree they leverage and/or address the housing needs of the Vail community. The second phase of the study is intended to better inform the Vail Town Council’s and community’s decision- making processes. Discussion, direction, and decision-making are needed in the following areas: What is the transportation needs of the future residents? Providing parking spaces for private vehicles is a transportation policy in and of itself. As a policy, it suggests the people are to rely upon their own vehicles to get them where they need to go. Conversely, a circumstance whereby people rely upon alternate means and modes of transportation rather than a private vehicle, is a second form of transportation policy. In the second example, fewer parking spaces are needed because fewer people need to rely on private vehicles to get around. An unintended consequence, however, in the absence of adequate infrastructure, cars are often parked illegally, displaced to public parking structures, or left stored in neighboring residential areas. Understanding how the transportation needs of the residents will be met will help the Town Council determine which transportation policy and plan is best for the redevelopment of Timber Ridge. For comparative purposes, a home to parking ratio for other deed restricted developments in Vail has been provided. (See options A & B) What is the intended demographic to be served? While all segments of the market face a need, it is anticipated that the apartment development is best suited to serve the 18 – 35 year old demographic of persons employed at businesses located within the Town of Vail. That said, the larger sized homes are also conducive to the needs of families or potential purchase opportunities for employers to then rent to their employees. The first phase of the updated market 11 6 study concluded that the 18 – 35 year old demographic is the underserved in the current market. Future development possibilities such as West Middle Creek, East Vail CDOT Parcel, Cascade Tennis Court site, Eagle-Vail State Land Board Parcel, etc. should be explored to diversify the home product type (i.e. for sale) to create a variety of home types and opportunities for individual homeownership. What is the appropriate building height, mass, scale, etc?The development site is uniquely located to accommodate a significant number of homes. Given its location in the Housing (H) District, flexibility is afforded in the determination of building height, site coverage, number of homes, mass, and configuration. Sketch designs and renderings have been prepared to indicate three and four- story tall structures as well as an arrangement of four, five and six-story tall buildings. Consideration should be given to economies of scale and cost to acquire and develop additional land. The Vail Town Council will need to determine the appropriate building height, mass, and scale to propose in its redevelopment application. (See conceptual options A & B) What is the appropriate number of homes to be built on the site? The development goals and objectives indicate a minimum of 200 homes on the site. Sketch plans have been prepared which demonstrate that more than 300 homes can be accommodated depending upon unit type, transportation policies, height of the buildings, and cost considerations. (See conceptual options A & B) What is the desired unit type and unit mix? As presented, it is anticipated the homes will be a mix of studio, one, two, and three bedroom, for-rent apartments. For efficiency purposes and demands expressed within the market, a significant number of studio-style apartments are illustrated for consideration. As presented, for-sale homes are not weighted heavily in the sketch plans. What are the appropriate on-site amenities required (ie. laundry, outdoor space, community space, child-care, indoor recreation, manager’s/leasing office, package delivery, etc.)? A +/- 7,000 amenity building is illustrated on the sketch plan. The building could serve numerous community purposes. Regardless of the use determined, consideration should be given for what impacts, intended and otherwise, the use may have on the efficient development of the site for residential homes. For instance, while early childhood care facilities are desperately needed in the community, the use should be evaluated for unintended consequences towards the development goals and objectives. There may be other locations better suited to provide child-care facilities. To what extent is electrification and collaboration with utility providers expected? (i.e. level of sustainability, Willits development in Basalt) Though still in the earliest sketch planning stages, expectations around electrification and sustainability should be articulated very early in the design process to achieve the best results. How will the relocation and displacement of the existing residents be addressed?The Vail Town Council will need to adopt a strategic relocation and displacement plan for the residents living at Timber Ridge prior to committing to a development schedule. Is there support for a joint meeting of the Vail Town Council, Planning & Environmental Commission and Design Review Board? History has 12 7 demonstrated that the success of projects of significant community importance is grounded in communication, understanding of roles and responsibilities, and alignment around a shared objective of getting to yes. Like the replacement of the four-way stop signs at the intersection of Vail Road and the South Frontage Road, the Vail underpass, or the $2.5B Vail’s New Dawn initiative, failure to reach a resolution was not an option and not a good outcome for the community. The redevelopment of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments is of equal community importance. A joint meeting prior to the onset of Vail’s New Dawn proved valuable to the success of that initiative. Similarly, a joint meeting prior to the onset of the Timber Ridge Village Apartments, is likely to be equally successful. 13 Timber Ridge Village Apartments Redevelopment Worksession Presentation 09/06/22 Timber Ridge Village Apartments Redevelopment Worksession Presentation 09/06/22 PRESENTATION BY George Ruther, Housing Director Michael O’Connor & Mike Foster, Triumph Development West 14 PURPOSE Town of Vail | Timber Ridge Redevelopment | vailgov.com •Redevelopment Goals & Objectives •Questions for Direction & Decision-making 15 REDEVELOPMENT GOALS & OBJECTIVES • Seize the full opportunity • Deed-restricted homes are the highest priority • Optimize this housing opportunity • Minimize the impacts of the short-term loss of homes • A market study shall drive the program and design • Environmental stewardship is a community value • Cost is a key consideration • Time is of the essence • Prioritize homes over cars • Lead by example Town of Vail | Timber Ridge Redevelopment | vailgov.com 16 INITIAL TOPICS FOR DIRECTION & DECISION-MAKING • Transportation policy and infrastructure • Programming and uses • Development deal structure • Funding, financing and existing debt • Timing and schedule Town of Vail | Timber Ridge Redevelopment | vailgov.com 17 HIGH COST OF PARKING Town of Vail | Timber Ridge Redevelopment | vailgov.com 18 DIRECTION Town of Vail | Timber Ridge Redevelopment | vailgov.com • How will the transportation need of the future residents be addressed? • What is the intended demographic to be served? • What is the appropriate building height, mass, scale, etc.? • What is the appropriate number of homes to be built on the site? • What is the desired unit type and unit mix? • What are the appropriate on-site amenities required?

Tie occupancy to TOV business license and/or sales tax license. Do not allow digital nomads to move in and displace the front line employee. Number One Priority - work for a brick and mortar shop/restaurant (or combination of shops) in Vail for 30 hours or more. Sole proprietor, LLC, work at home, service based business license must be in place for three (3) years before non-sales tax biz employee can qualify. Tie deed restrictions to rental units not just for sale units. Audit management on a regular basis. Consider how much a front line worker makes (@ $20/hour???) and determine income guidelines. Make them grow and stretch, but not too loose to begin with. The last thing you want to do is get a frontliner in place for a few years (what is the right amount of time?) and then boot them out of deed restricted housing because they start to get established and only have to work two jobs instead of three. Maybe it’s like rent control. Prioritize people over cars. And pets. Sorry. This is employee housing. People with roommates are ingenious people when it comes to transportation or the lack there of. Pets are not a necessity. Housing for the front line is. Family units do not need to have guest rooms. And families work on the brick and mortar front lines. And why stick with studio, 1 ,2 ,3 bedroom designs? The term “dormitories” always comes up in these discussions. Cinder block walls and bunk beds. Not. What about 4 or 5 En Suite rooms (each big enough for a bed, simple desk, chest of drawers, stick of furniture, bathroom) opening to an open space kitchen/living area? Maybe even round instead of building blocks? Individual homeownership should NOT be a factor with Timber Ridge. Front line employees need a place to live. Thriving and community comes later. Before it goes too far, lets talk about design. The last go round we all thought the drawings were for placement only. Just because it is big does not mean it can’t be interesting to the eye. If it must be a bunch of big boxes, add an AIPP component. The roof lines of Middle Creek might not be inviting, but at least they are not boring. Please see the attached photos.

SUBMITTED BY:Kristen Bertuglia, Environmental Sustainability ITEM TYPE:Presentation/Discussion AGENDA SECTION:Presentation/Discussion SUBJECT:Statewide Plastic Bag Process Update SUGGESTED ACTION:Listen to presentation and provide feedback. PRESENTER(S):Kristen Bertuglia, Environmental Sustainability Director VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: Plastic and Styrofoam ban 090622.pdf Plastic Pollution Prevention Act TC 090622.pdf public comment.pdf 48 To: Vail Town Council From: Environmental Sustainability Department Date: September 6, 2022 Subject: Colorado HB21-1162, Plastic Pollution Reduction Act (PPRA) I. Purpose The purpose of this discussion is to provide the details on HB21-1162, Plastic Pollution Reduction Act signed into law in 2021 and outline the process to implement the requirements in Vail. II. Background Plastic Pollution Reduction Act Plastic production has exploded from 2 million tons annually in 1950 to more than 440 million tons in 2015 and it is expected to quadruple in the next 30 years. Humans have created 8.3 billion metric tons of plastic, of which 6.3 billion metric tons in now plastic waste in our oceans, littering landscapes and floating in our rivers or sitting in our landfills. Only 9% of the plastic that has ever been produced has been recycled. If this trend is not broken, it is estimated that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by weight.1 On July 6, 2021, Governor Jared Polis signed HB21-1162, the Plastic Pollution Reduction Act (PPRA) into law, the second most comprehensive law in the country. Prior to HB21-1162s passage, 10 states had plastic bag bans and 7 states had polystyrene foam bans. With the signing of this bill, Colorado becomes the first state in the U.S. to strike a state plastics preemption law, restoring the right of local municipalities to enact their own plastic regulations. There are four main components to the PPRA highlighted below. January 1, 2023: Plastic and Paper Bag Fee • $0.10 fee on all plastic and paper bags will go into effect (municipality may raise fee higher by resolution or ordinance) • During this time, retailers can still give out plastic bags, but are required to charge ● Affects large grocery and retail stores ● Restaurants and small Colorado-only stores with 3 or fewer locations excluded 1 Presentation by Randy Moorman, Legislative and Community Campaigns Director of EcoCycle, January 19, 2022. 49 Town of Vail Page 2 ● Retailer keeps $0.04 to implement the program (if fee is higher, retailer retains 40%) ● Municipalities and Counties (unincorporated) receive $0.06 (or if fee is higher, 60%) to implement program, enforce the law, fund recycling, composting, waste diversion programs, and education. ● Does not apply to customers with federal or state food assistance programs ● Fee on plastic bags ends Jan. 1, 2024 January 1, 2024: Plastic Bag Ban • Ban on plastic carryout bags goes into effect. • Affects large grocery and retail stores • Restaurants and small Colorado-only stores with 3 or fewer locations excluded • Stores can use up any remaining stock of bags until June 1, 2024 as long as they were purchased by Jan. 1, 2024 January 1, 2024 – Ban on polystyrene food containers and cups ● Ban on polystyrene to-go food containers and cups goes into effect ● Affects all restaurants and schools ● Retail food establishments can use up any polystyrene containers purchased by Jan. 1, 2024 until they are gone July 1, 2024: Local government pre-emption on plastic bans is lifted ● Municipalities and counties can enact, implement and enforce more stringent laws ● Local governments can enact and enforce laws that prohibit, restrict or mandate the use or sale of plastic materials, containers, packaging or labeling ● Exempts packaging for medical products including drugs, medical devices or dietary supplements Enforcement of the PPRA is left to the municipalities. Details on requirements and exemptions can be found in Appendix A. Vail’s Current Kick the Bag Habit Program In 2015, Town of Vail implemented the Kick the Bag Habit program and Ordinance No. 2 Series of 2015 was passed. This ordinance instituted a plastic bag ban at grocers 4,000 square feet and larger and imposed a $0.10 fee on disposable paper bags. Requirements can be found in Title 5, Chapter 13 of the Town of Vail Code. The $0.10/bag fee is returned to the Town of Vail to fund recycling and waste diversion programs and initiatives, such as the two annual Hard to Recycle events held for Vail residents, employees, and property owners free of charge. Prior to the ordinance going into effect, the two largest grocery stores in Vail gave away 4.5 million bags annually on average. In 2021, these grocery stores sold just over 430,000 paper bags, up from 315,470 bags in 2020 (Figure 7). Year Fee Collected Number of Paper Bags Sold 2021 $43,047 430,473 2020 $31,547 315,470 2019 $32,923 329,230 2018 $33,381 333,810 2017 $31,920 319,200 Figure 7. Paper Bags distributed and annual fees collected by Town of Vail 50 Town of Vail Page 3 Prior to the January 1, 2023, state-mandated bag fee going into effect, staff will provide an education and awareness campaign to businesses that will be impacted. In addition, staff will need direction from Town Council to determine how the current $0.10 fee structure will change. Options include keeping the bag fee the same and allowing required businesses to keep $0.04/bag sold or the bag fee can be increased, with the required business keeping 40% per bag sold and remitting 60% to the Town. To date, 17 communities in Colorado have already implemented similar bag bans and/or bag fees (Appendix B). These are current structures, and many will need to shift in structure to comply with the required 40% / 60% split of the $0.10 or higher fee per bag. III. Staff Recommendations Staff intends to create a committee of Vail business owners and representative organizations to discuss the implementation of the law and possible changes to the Vail Town Code. The first meeting will be held on September 16th. In anticipation of this meeting, general direction from Council is requested on the following: 1. Does the Town Council agree with the process outlined, to create a committee of stakeholders to develop recommendations for moving forward? Staff will then return to the Town Council with a set of recommendations. 2. Does the Town Council support staff exploring with the committee an increase to the existing bag fee in order to further incentivize the use of reusable bags and maintain the contribution to the waste diversion program? 3.

VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: CouncilMemo9-6-22.docx Bighorn_turnaround_7-15-22.pdf 65 To:Vail Town Council From:Public Works Department Date:September 6, 2022 Subject:Bighorn Road Oversize Vehicle Turnaround I.SUMMARY Town staff has been vetting options to provide an oversize vehicle and bus turnaround at the end of Bighorn Road to accommodate “lost” large interstate semi-trucks and accommodate a more efficient Bus Service. The need for this turnaround has been apparent for a long time, particularly in association with Vail Pass Closures. When Vail Pass closes eastbound, all traffic is held in Vail or west of Vail. Some vehicles disregard signage and bypass checkpoints in hopes of circumventing the closure by attempting to use “old highway 6” via Bighorn Road in East Vail. This is a dead-end route and only leads to multiple dead end residential streets which cannot accommodate large trucks turning around. Several times a year the Town of Vail Public Works crews must assist large semi-trucks by using heavy equipment front-end loaders to get the trucks turned around heading back west to Vail to wait out the closure. A turnaround at this dead-end location would alleviate this problem. The turnaround would also benefit Vail Transit, allowing the town to run additional express and piggyback buses to East Vail efficiently. It also provides for the ability to run an efficient “Hikers Shuttle” to East Vail, if it becomes necessary to limit trailhead parking at other trailheads than Booth Falls and expand upon direct bus service that serves each trailhead. After review of available sites, town staff is proposing to construct a new asphalt vehicle turnaround at the intersection of Bighorn Road and Main Gore Drive within CDOT I-70 Right of Way. CDOT has reviewed the project and recognizes the benefit, particularly during Vail Pass closures, and has given the town approval to construct the project. If Town Council agrees, town staff is prepared to receive bids for this project and begin construction at the end of September with a completion date of the end of October. It is estimated that this project will cost approximately $200,000. This project could be funded by the town through this year’s savings in the Capital Street Maintenance budget. 66 II.RECOMMENDATION Direct town staff to proceed with receiving bids for the project, notifying the public and adjacent homeowners, and return to Council on September 20th with a potential contract award.

The new structure was created to better evaluate special events funding and the value proposition for the Town. Question were posed at the August 16th meeting which will be addressed here. BACKGROUND 73 SPECIAL EVENT FUNDING MODEL UPDATE Town of Vail | Name of Presentation | vailgov.com •A new RFP and application process has been created to better define the goals of the Town Council and CSE, and collect more actionable and quantitative data for the decision making process. •A new committee is being created to evaluate the funding model in collaboration with the CSE, led by staff, to evaluate the tangible value of the sponsorship benefits being provided. This administrative function could occur concurrently with the CSE review. •New scorecards have been created to simply the review process, removing redundant questions, combining scorecard elements, and adjusting the scores weights, to better evaluate proposals on current goals of the town. •A single process for all events sponsored by the town, to ensure that all events are delivering on the goals of the town and being held accountable for benefits provided. Highlights of the changes to the funding model 74 SPECIAL EVENT FUNDING MODEL UPDATE Town of Vail | Name of Presentation | vailgov.com •How will the process help attract and recruit the right events? •The simplified RFP with more quantitative data, two application cycles per year (September/October and March/April), and input from the new CSE on the goals, need periods, and target demographics should allow the town to proactively invite new event producers and event concepts to apply. •How will the recaps be different and how will event producers be held accountable? •The funding agreement will be updated with our town attorney to ensure that the right data is required in a recap, and that an audit can be triggered if needed. The recap template will also be updated to require the event producer to provide proof of performance for the marketing benefits that were specifically identified in the proposal. If an event does not provide adequate benefit, in breach of contract, money may be held back from the event producer. With the new tangible valuation tool, we will have some more quantifiable value to punitively withhold.

SUMMARY The purpose of this memorandum is to present the plan for special events during the winter of 22/23. At the end of this memo, staff is requesting feedback from Town Council on the plan and direction for the proposed winter special events. II. BACKGROUND During the winter season, the Town of Vail traditionally hosts special events and activities that enhance the experience of the guests in town primarily for skiing and snowboarding, and support the goal of building loyalty to Vail as a destination. These events and activations have included Revely Vail, Vail Holidays, Snow Days and Spring Back to Vail, and the Taste of Vail. Coming out of the pandemic, the Town adjusted event plans in 2022 to address issues that were experienced across town and mountain including dynamic visitation patterns, staffing challenges, and supply chain issues to focus on guest experience. The changes included temporarily suspending large scale ford park concerts and instead creating a seven-week activation of smaller, more frequent intimate events in the villages to enhance the guest experience. For the 2022/2023 season, the event Request for Proposal aims to attract events that achieve several key objectives: • Celebrate the 60th anniversary of Vail Mountain. • Enhance the guest experience of all visitors to Vail by creating a fun, lively and festive atmosphere throughout town. • Promote visitation during the lower demand periods throughout the season by providing reliable and predictable entertainment programming. The town and Vail Mountain continue to meet on a regular basis to align on goals for winter season events and entertainment. 60th Anniversary Vail Mountain and the town of Vail are celebrating Vail’s 60th anniversary this winter. Vail Resorts is leading the planning with a variety of events and activities throughout the season to celebrate the 60th. The theme of the birthday celebration is ‘modern vintage’ – celebrating Vail’s colorful history and character with a modern, fun, and hip look and feel. Events include a season 91 Town of Vail Page 2 kick off cocktail competition, a December birthday bash, and ongoing music and parties on the mountain. These elements are designed to drive brand affinity, memorability through the guest experience. Early Winter Opening until January 3 The activation plan for Early winter will focus on creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for Vail guests with elements throughout town to surprise and delight. Revely Vail and Vail Holidays are returning with enhanced lighting throughout town, weekly music, and activities for guests in the villages, tree lightings, and more. Vail Beaver Creek Restaurant week will also occur from November 11-23, drawing more guests into Vail’s restaurants and Revely activations. Revely will feature live music during Thanksgiving weekend on the International Bridge, in a format similar to the employee concert and celebration hosted last April. The stage would remain through Monday, November 28, to host a locals and employees season kickoff party; an opportunity to gather old friends and new neighbors to build excitement for the season. To celebrate Vail Mountains 60th Anniversary during this early season period, the town and Mountain are collaborating on an RFP to produce on-mountain parties, village concerts, and signature culinary events from December 15-18, 2022. The Town is not recommending a large-scale Ford Park concerts in December, rather turning to April as a better opportunity to reach a younger demographic during a lower demand period with milder outdoor conditions. A large-scale Ford Park style concert is contemplated in the later winter event plan and will be included in the Request for Proposal to be published on September 8. Mid-Season – January 4 until March 1 The midseason period from approximately January 4 through March will focus on the skiing experience with on mountain activities celebrating the 60th anniversary. Vail Resorts plans include DJ’s and live music at on mountain restaurants, ice bar, vintage apparel revitalizing the original Vail logo and much more. During this period, the National Brotherhood of Skiers will be hosting their 50th anniversary event in Vail, potentially bringing over 2,000 guests to town as part of their national celebration. During the weeklong gathering, NBS will host a variety of activities for their members including parades and parties. Staff is working with the group and Vail Resorts to align on a proposed public concert in the village, which will be presented to town council at a later date. The winter events plan includes small, intimate concerts in the village in November and December, modeled on best practices and lessons learned from the Vail Après Spring Series. These concerts are proposed to continue monthly through the ski season. Spring Season March 1 – Closing Day The goal of late season activations is to ensure an enhanced guest experience in Vail, whether during a busy spring break week or a less busy early April week. Traditional key components are part of the plan. 92 Town of Vail Page 3 • Taste of Vail will be returning April 5-8, 2023, with crowd favorite events on the mountain and in the villages. • Employee Celebrations: The end of season employee concert celebration hosted in 2022 on the International Bridge was greatly appreciated across the business community and by locals and employees and will return in 2023. The end of season concert celebration will be finalized with a similar model to the 2022 event, with dates selected once Vail Mountain operating dates are finalized. Vail Après Spring Series: New last spring, the Vail Après Spring Series brought frequent music and parties to Vail Mountain and both villages throughout March and April. Staff and the event producer, along with Vail Mountain will continue to refine the model to provide high quality, scheduled predictable activations throughout Vail during the spring period. Spring Large Scale Concert: Staff is recommending that an RFP is published for an end of season large scale concert. A budget will be identified, and an RFP developed to find a production partner to execute a concert with the right balance of talent, marketing and experience to reach the defined audience during a defined time period and achieve goals as stated. III. ACTION REQUESTED Provide feedback and direction to staff on the winter events plan. 93 To: Mayor and Town Council From: Town Managers Office and Economic Development Department Date: 9/6/2022 Subject: Review of Special Event Sponsorship Evaluation Model and Decision- Making Structure I. PURPOSE/SUMMARY To present an update to the Town Council, addressing questions posed during the August 16th Town Council Meeting on the proposed changes to the Special Event Sponsorship Evaluation Model and Decision-Making Structure. II. BACKGROUND Economic Development Department staff and consultant Bruce Erley from Creative Strategies Group presented a proposed update to the Special Events Funding Model and decision-making structure at the August 16, Town Council Meeting. The new structure was created to better evaluate special events funding and the value proposition for the Town. To facilitate the new sponsorship funding structure, some changes are recommended to the decision-making structure. The following are highlights of the changes: • A new RFP and application process has been created to better define the goals of the Town Council and CSE, and collect more actionable and quantitative data for the decision-making process. • A new committee is being created to evaluate the funding model in collaboration with the CSE, led by staff, to evaluate the tangible value of the sponsorship benefits being provided. This administrative function would occur concurrently with the CSE review. • New scorecards have been created to simply the review process, removing redundant questions, combining scorecard elements, and adjusting the scores weights, to better evaluate proposals. • A single process for all events sponsored by the town, to ensure that all events are delivery on the goals of the town and being held accountable for benefits provided. Summary of the process: The Request for Event Sponsorships will be published in early September. At the CSE meeting on September 7th, goals for event types, need periods, and target markets will be discussed and added to the RFP. The RFP will be updated and published as soon as possible after the meeting. The event sponsorship requests will be submitted in early October with presentations to the CSE scheduled the 3rd week of October. CSE will score the events and recommend a funding amount as they have in the past. Concurrent to the CSE scoring, staff will prepare a score and funding recommendation based on the new “tangible valuation” tool created by Bruce Erley. The new tool puts a dollar value on the market benefits provided to the town as part of the sponsorship package. The new event funding committee, consisting of the Town Managers 94 Town of Vail Page 2 Office, Economic Development, Finance, and a CSE representative, will recommend the final funding amount based on the CSE recommendation, tangible valuation tool, additional negotiation with the event producer if necessary, and the expected ROI to the town. Town Council will then be presented with the final funding recommendations as has previously occurred. With the updated process, event producers and CSE will mainly notice the changes made to the application form, information requested for the sponsorship proposal, and accountability to data about the events performance. The changes to the sponsorship request process are designed to make the sponsorship allocations more predictable and transparent by tying more of the valuation to real tangible benefits. III. DISCUSSION The following questions were asked of staff at the August 16th Town Council meeting. Responses are included below, and staff is prepared to provide additional context if needed. • How will the process help attract and recruit the right events? • The simplified RFP with more quantitative data, two application cycles per year (September/October and March/April), and input from the CSE on the goals, need periods, and target demographics should allow the town to proactively invite new event producers and event concepts to apply. • How will the recaps be different and how will event producers be held accountable? • The funding agreement will be updated with our town attorney to ensure that the right data is required in a recap, and that an audit can be enforced if needed. The recap template will also be updated to require the event producer to provide proof of performance for the marketing benefits that were specifically identified in the proposal. If an event does not provide adequate benefit, in breach of contract, money may be held back from the event producer. With the new tangible valuation tool, we will have some more quantifiable value to punitively withhold. • Will a member of the CSE be included in the Event Funding Committee review? • We welcome the input from Town Council on this and will happily include a member if desired. The main concern from staff on inclusion of a volunteer CSE member in this committee is the time commitment which is part of why the tasks associated with the EFC review were assigned to staff. • CSE volunteers have been a valuable pipeline for future Town Council members. Will changing the structure affect that? • The role and responsibility of the CSE is not changing significantly. The members are still reviewing, recommending, and evaluating special events in a very similar manner. Additionally, the change from the codified Commission on Special Events to the Committee on Special Events may open up more individuals to participate. IV.

For Vail to achieve alignment among its stakeholders, it will be critically important to address a housing crisis that threatens to strangle the health of its tourism economy. Since Vail's inception, residents have worked long, hard hours to make it, but never has the chance to have a home been so out of reach for so many. 103 Residents of Vail and Down Valley share highly similar concerns. Despite very different demographics, Housing ranked as the far-and-away top concern. Both rated Parking Pressures as the second-most concerning issue, followed by Crowding and Damage to Trails. Their fifth-ranked concern -- "Loss of a Sense of Community" –was at nearly the same level of intensity. This commonality of interests points to the potential for regional collaboration to address concerns that are at the top of the list for everyone in Eagle County. 104 Down Valley residents' view of parking pressures may be different from Vail residents.' Many Vail residents are critical of relaxing limits on Frontage Road parking, while Down Valley residents' concerns focus more on access to parking. These attitudes point to a need to re-envision Vail's parking strategy. Key questions to address: Whether parking policy can be shaped to manage Vail’s capacity for visitors and whether a reservation system is viable. 105 Not only long-time Vail residents yearn for the days when Vail was more fun and everyone was in it together. A persistent theme was a longing for a Vail where people feel more connected --both to the community and with each other. All recognize how challenging this is for a town built as a resort. New community-focused facilities are seen as possibilities for bringing people together. Others believe community can happen in simple ways -- through neighborhood potlucks or by reviving some of the wacky traditions of early Vail. 106 Opportunity abounds for young entrepreneurs in Vail, but it's hard for a new business owner to get a foothold. Younger locals say business opportunities are ‘unlimited,’ but the cost of rent, start up costs and required approvals are challenges for success. Making things easier for fledgling entrepreneurs could help build the town's next generation of leaders, introduce more diversity into food and retail offerings, send more tourist dollars to local pockets, and give locals more places to enjoy. 107 By promoting Vail as a charming, upscale destination that also is welcoming, inclusive and focused on sustainability, Vail could improve its competitive standing, carve out a unique position for travelers, and satisfy locals. The SMARInsights study showed that Vail could create a differentiating strategy to drive future visitation --and attract more sustainable travelers --by focusing its messaging on several current strengths. These include high-quality attractions, appealing events, a unique vacation experience travelers can't get anywhere else, and Vail’s exceptional work in protecting its natural resources. This approach could be shared in a way that doesn't detract from Vail's image as an upscale/exclusive destination. 108 Although Vail is recognized among the world’s most sustainable destinations, consumers aren’t aware. The SMARInsights study found consumers ranking Vail's care for its natural resources well below many other destinations, including Lake Tahoe, Jackson Hole, Whistler, and Park City. Vail has a chance to gain awareness and recognition about its considerable accomplishments to build a stronger reputation among visitors who make traveling sustainably a priority. 109 Vail and Down Valley residents strongly agree: Vail should provide a high level of customer service. Many believe Vail's commitment to delivering a world- class experience begins with customer experience. Many express concern that workforce shortages threaten to erode Vail's image for first-class service. Vail's most recent winter trip survey found 16 percent of visitors believed service levels had declined, with 5 percent calling it "much worse." 110 Vail bears an outsized risk from climate impacts and other stressors on its natural environment. Vail's appeal is founded on its extraordinary natural resources, especially its premier ski mountain. Climate change, overuse of trails, threats to water quality, and stress on wildlife habitat all threaten the Vail experience. 111 Five Pillars & Supporting Objectives 112 1)Better Together Embrace local and regional collaboration and partnerships 2) Manage World-Class Experiences Enhance the Vail experience for all while managing use of key assets 3) Restore Vail's Soul Restore and rebuild a sense of community 4) Steward Vail as a Global Model Position Vail locally and internationally as a leading environmental steward 5) Embrace Values-Based Marketing Realign Vail marketing to reflect shared community values 113 1) Do Better Together Embrace local and regional collaboration and both public and private partnerships a.Take action on housing development both in Vail and Down Valley b.Foster countywide collaboration for workforce development and entrepreneurship c.Align Vail housing and transit with countywide strategies d.Support a countywide childcare strategy to support Vail workers e.Develop and take action on regional environmental strategies and climate solutions f.Identify and act on a shared agenda with Vail Resorts/ business community 114 2) Enhance World-Class Experiences Elevate the Vail experience for all while managing use of key assets a.Foster collaboration around agreed usage •Develop and manage trails for optimal outcomes •Manage parking policies to address shared goals •Consider revisiting ‘Program to Manage Peak Periods’ between Town of Vail, Vail Associates, Inc. and US Forest Service b.Embrace strategies to increase equitable access c.Re-define Vail’s “World-Class Experience” to further differentiate Vail d.Map strategies for moderating peaks in visitation e.Build the arts and creative economy 115 3) Reinvigorate Vail’s Spirit Restore and rebuild a sense of community a.Create new ways for Vail residents, workers and visitors to gather •Explore creating a new community center or cultural center b.Mitigate barriers to entry for new locally and regionally owned businesses c.Enhance Vail’s sense of place by engaging the community in re-examining policies for Vail’s cultural heritage, architecture and green space 116 4) Steward Vail as a Global Model Position Vail locally and internationally as a leading environmental steward a.Protect and ‘Restore the Gore’ b.Protect and restore Vail's habitats and biodiversity c.Make Climate Action central to Vail’s tourism economy d.Demonstrate leadership in Destination Stewardship --Model thought leadership for mountain resort towns globally a.Focus on projects that mitigate highest impacts 117 5) Embrace Values-Based Marketing Realign Vail marketing to reflect shared community values a.Differentiate Vail as a welcoming, charming destination focused on sustainability •Leverage Vail’s unique attributes to capture growing sustainable traveler segment b.Connect everyone with Vail's outdoor ethics c.Increase Vail’s appeal for diverse traveler segments d.Leverage innovative local residents as the face of Vail 118 Thank you Questions? 119 TO: Town Council FROM: Mia Vlaar, Economic Development Director DATE: September 6, 2022 SUBJECT: Steward Vail Destination Stewardship Plan Update: Situation Analysis Insights, Five Pillars and Objectives I. SUMMARY In early 2022, the Town of Vail (TOV) embarked on an innovative path to guide how it manages an economy founded 60 years ago almost entirely on tourism. Vail's choice signals a forward-thinking commitment to a holistic planning approach that engages the entire community in addressing challenges and finding new opportunities for their globally known and treasured community and destination. The Steward Vail consultant team has been engaged to develop a best-in-class strategy, guided by principles of sustainability, to create a shared vision for a thriving tourism economy that supports quality of life and quality of experience for all those who care about Vail. The plan has included extensive public engagement to inform plan priorities. The draft plan will be developed and presented to town council, with an aim for final approval in December 2022. II. BACKGROUND On August 16th at its afternoon meeting, town council heard a progress report on the Steward Vail destination stewardship plan as well as results of community surveys. On August 18th, the consulting team shared a proposed framework for the Steward Vail destination stewardship plan at a half-day visioning session. About 25 community leaders and Town of Vail directors were invited to share their thinking on five proposed Pillars, each of which describes a major goal for the Steward Vail plan. By the end of the day, the Pillars were validated and revised as follows: • Do Better Together • Enhance the 'World-Class Experience' • Reinvigorate Vail's Spirit • Steward Vail as a Global Example • Embrace Values-Based Marketing Each Pillar was supported by possible objectives. As part of the five-hour planning session, each participant was provided with 10 dots to indicate which proposed 120 Town of Vail Page 2 objectives were their highest priority items. The highest priorities emerging from this exercise were: • Create resident housing in Vail and Down Valley (21 dots) • Mitigate barriers to entry for new locally and regionally owned businesses (20) • Create new ways for Vail and Eagle residents, workers and visitors to gather (18) • Differentiate Vail as a welcoming, charming luxurious resort focused on sustainability (18) • Embrace strategies to increase equitable access (17) Other top priorities included: • Center Climate Action in Vail’s tourism economy (15) • Connect everyone with Vail's outdoor ethics (14) • Build the arts and creative economy (14) • Demonstrate leadership in Destination Stewardship (14) • Prioritize projects that mitigate biggest negative impacts (14) The Pillars stemmed from Key Takeaways drawn from a range of stakeholder engagement tactics, including two sets of public engagement sessions, 30 1:1 interviews, 12 focus groups, resident surveys, and a consumer brand perception and segmentation survey. The Key Takeaways were shared in a Situation Analysis included in the Town Council's packet on August 16. III.

She introduces Cathy Ritter the President and CEO of Better Destinations, a consulting firm on the project. Cathy Ritter gives a presentation. She introduces destination stewardship. She talks about the process to this point. Lipnick asks if there is a point of too much growth in tourism. Ritter says it is addressed in the plan and relates to the management of parking, trails, and so forth.

August 8, 2022 PEC Meeting Results.pdf John Rediker made a motion to Approve ; Brian Gillette seconded the motion Passed (6 - 0). 3 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of August 22, 2022 128 Perez asks about the timeline and if the outreach included the winter stakeholders and community. Ritter says the project started in February, there were seasonal residents included in the surveys. Jensen asks about the input from down-valley residents in the survey. Ritter details the results of the surveys. Bertuglia says the intent of including down-valley respondents was to be responsive and inclusive, there are folks included in Vail’s economy who live elsewhere; however, these were also broken out in the survey. Ritter reiterates that the survey results were separated between these groups. She compares some results between Vail residents and down-valley residents. Gillette says getting different opinions is important, but it is Council’s job to realize they work for the residents. He says there is a difference between building workforce housing down- valley and building workforce housing in Vail concerning a sense of community. Ritter talks about the demographics of the survey. Jensen says Vail has evolved to a higher volume business model for various reasons. The Town needs to figure out a way to handle it sustainably, but it won’t go away. The number of ski tourists will continue to grow. How will the Town adjust to handle this change? Gillette thinks the Town would want to make policies to reduce the volume. Jensen says Vail Resorts’ strategy is volume, which has been shown in other places. The question facing the Town is do we want to take steps to control volume or adapt to deal with the volume. Gillette says the Town does have tools to regulate this. Lipnick asks how the Town can get Vail Resorts to be a better partner with the Town of Vail. Jensen says their business model has evolved; Vail is no longer the most visited resort; it doesn’t have the same significance as in the past. Eight months a year, other things are creating volume in the Town. What is the Town’s strategy moving forward concerning volume? Perez says a two-pronged approach is needed. The Town of Vail getting this certification ignores that Vail is part of a larger community in the valley. We’re not talking to neighboring towns to develop a comprehensive strategy. This is a good first step, but the Town needs to think about working with neighbors down-valley regarding housing, transportation, and parking. She says we need to look at this as a bigger problem with a bigger solution. Rediker echoes Perez’s concerns and says some of that has been addressed in this process. Ritter says there were indications regarding the potential for regional collaboration. She talks about the takeaways from the community outreach. 4 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of August 22, 2022 129 Jensen says transportation across the valley is a critical piece of this. Gillette and Jensen speculate on Park and Rides down-valley. Perez says many people must commute across the valley for school. We have to look at these issues together. Ritter continues with the takeaways. Gillette says recreation centers would help. Perez agrees. Lipnick suggests a gym in the civic space. People have spread out since the founding of the Town, there is now competition between Vail and neighboring towns regarding tourism. Gillette praises the Town’s efforts to address housing shortages. People moved down-valley because it was more affordable. Jensen says Eagle is working hard to build a sense of community. He says the retail options in Vail have evolved with the volume. Perez says seasonal workers struggle to live, work, and play in Vail; it is unsustainable. Ritter talks about the challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurs in Vail. Commissioners expressed interest in the idea of a market tailored to help entrepreneurs. Pratt says the Town is geographically constrained, where are these ideas located? Gillette asks if the Town’s regulations are overly cumbersome. Planning Manager Spence says it is hard to determine what respondents are referring to, but the Town’s review times are the shortest in the valley. Bertuglia says the biggest barrier is the cost in these cases. Ritter talks about potential marketing strategy for the Town based on findings. Vail could create a differentiating strategy by focusing on current strengths. Jensen asks if the strategy is to protect or grow the Town’s market position. He says locals would welcome a calmer offseason, but the recent strategy has been to grow the offseason. Gillette says Vail has it pretty good compared to similar communities. More growth would exacerbate traffic issues. Lipnick asks about how Vail can differentiate itself, especially concerning climate change and shorter winters. Where does the community want to go in addressing this? The Town is in a great place and should not lose sight of that. Ritter says locals have a desire for visitors who respect the place and the landscape. This marketing strategy could create a unique position for Vail. Jensen says the business community also has to have a voice in this. The volume approach 5 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of August 22, 2022 130 has changed the community but has also provided a lot of jobs and economic growth. How do we figure out who the Town will be in the next couple of decades? Ritter says Vail can promote its accomplishments regarding successful sustainability efforts. Residents also believe Vail should provide a high level of customer service. Bertuglia thanks the commissioners and says their input is valued. Gillette asks if this plan will get to the level of zoning changes. Bertuglia says it will be a high-level plan but should be compatible with other plans and supplemented by more specific plans. Gillette reiterates comments about the civic area plan and says it should be less about drawing visitors and more about addressing the sense of community. Rediker says the PEC has been focused on planning matters and the public would like to see it focus more on environmental matters as well. Moving forward the PEC will be receiving updates on efforts regarding Colorado Communities for Climate Action, Mountain Towns 2030, and considering ordinances on environmental issues. Gillette says the efficiency of irrigation systems is something to look at. 5.Adjournment Destination Stewardship Plan memo 082222.pdf PEC Update 08222022.pdf Steward Vail Visioning Session Agenda.docx Steward Vail Situation Analysis.pdf Brian Gillette made a motion to Adjourn ; Bobby Lipnick seconded the motion Passed (6 - 0). 6 Planning and Environmental Commission Meeting Minutes of August 22, 2022 131 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.1 Item Cover Page DATE:September 6, 2022 SUBMITTED BY:Molly Eppard, Public Works ITEM TYPE:Information Update AGENDA SECTION:Information Update SUBJECT:AIPP August 1, 2022 Minutes SUGGESTED ACTION: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: August_1__2022__Minutes.pdf 132 Public Notice - Art in Public Places Board Meeting Minutes Monday, August 1, 2022 AIPP Board members present: Susanne Graf, Tracy Gordon, Kathy Langenwalter, Lindsea Stowe AIPP Board members absent: Courtney St. John Others present: Molly Eppard, AIPP Coordinator 1.

(Present from VLHA were Steve Lindstrom, Chair, Kristin Kenney Williams and Dan Godec, Members. Further discussion including the full VLHA and Members, Craig Denton and James Wilkins occurred at the Aug. 9 VLHA meeting, followed by approval of this memorandum at the Aug. 23 VLHA meeting.) Action requested: At the conclusion of this memorandum are proposed action items for the VLHA; the VLHA requests any further feedback from Vail Town Council. Key Takeaways: The 3Ps: Progression Partnership Prioritization - A theme that summarizes the work session input. In thinking how to the VLHA may recommend spending the $3.5-4M of dedicated housing funds: - Create deed-restricted homes while waiting for the “big” project/next “Miller Ranch” - Depending on project, prefer using general fund vs. bonding - Look to shovel-ready projects with developers - Land-banking far less a priority - In looking outside Vail, look to EagleVail, Avon, Minturn – partnerships key (Eagle County Schools, Habitat for Humanity, private developers) - Deed-restricted housing within Town of Vail remains top priority In thinking how to the VLHA may educate Town of Vail constituents and small business owners about homeownership opportunities: 139 Town of Vail Page 2 - Educate constituency better on available product/unit types, and funding availability – show how one might “progress” through their housing journey (looking to Habitat family- assistance model; what Mary McDougall (former VLHA member) used to do with mortgage education; any high school education for those graduating and staying in the valley) - Anything with the Vail InDEED program that needs tightening-up to ensure deed- restrictions stay with the property? o Revolving loans for first-time homebuyers (for properties that already have a deed restriction?) Other - In addition to affordability, wildlife, environment, transit must also be kept in mind - In looking at the redevelopment of Timber Ridge: Very little parking should be required (parking for for-sale units, yes); create bike- and car-share opportunities. Perfect for funding/development partner opportunities. Opportunities to prioritize Vail’s small businesses to master lease. Make sure to include town manager and finance director in vetting ideas. - In looking at any proposed improvements to the entitlement process: Tighten up residential linkage; embrace creative ideas; what can be done with older Vail homes?; explore an amnesty program for non-compliant homes; how create housing that creates more housing (ie. Residences at Main Vail is an investment in new housing that will create cash flow.) - VLHA should bring back “structures” for potential partnerships; ideas to ensure homebuyers after the initial deed-restriction continue to build community - Having a pulse on financing options key - B2B opportunities: A business that buys and deed-restricts homes – when they go to sell, any way to prioritize trying to sell to another Vail business first? - Be on the lookout for more Miller Ranch opportunities – show progression opportunities of housing types o Eagle County must be a 50/50 partner with Town of Vail - Is there an interest rate buy-down opportunity? Revolving loan fund? - In exploring the appetite for a rental assistance program specific to the incremental funds raised that will be on the November ballot: Perhaps helping with first, last, security; hardship-based. Concerns are setting expectations beyond one year of program; abuse by property owners; would need to be a payback. More interested in gaining assets than rental assistance. Proposed action items for VLHA: - Enhanced community communications: Create a “tool kit” of information; formalize communications strategies and platforms, including presenting to other Vail stakeholder meetings (ie. the Vail Economic & Advisory Council, PrimaVail, Vail Chamber & Business Assoc.) and coordination with Town PIO. - Meet with Eagle County Housing & Development Authority for an update on Vail efforts and potential ways to collaborate – so that when the next “Miller Ranch” opportunity is up for exploration, we’re able to hit the ground running. - Explore current once-in-a-generation grant funding and other financing options. - Create a housing progression map: from rental opportunities to homeownership, how you can stay working and living in Vail/the Vail Valley. - Update the Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan to include additional benchmarks. https://www.vaildaily.com/news/how-will-vail-use-funds-from-its-new-housing-sales-tax/ 140 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.4 Item Cover Page DATE:September 6, 2022 SUBMITTED BY:Missy Johnson, Housing ITEM TYPE:Information Update AGENDA SECTION:Information Update SUBJECT:VLHA August 9, 2022 Minutes SUGGESTED ACTION: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: 2022-08-09 VLHA Minutes (2).pdf 141 Vail Local Housing Authority Minutes August 9, 2022 3:00 PM Town Council Chambers and Hybrid on Zoom 75 S.

Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director and Steve Lindstrom, VLHA Chairman Williams reviewed topline topics and comments that were discussed in the positive meeting on Tuesday, August 2 where the VLHA presented a list of questions to the Council. 142 Priority topics included: • VLHA can better educate the mapping of the progression of housing to the community • Continuation of the Vail InDEED program while all collectively looking for bigger projects • Prioritize obtaining deed restrictions in TOV but there is also an openness to looking at land in Minturn, EagleVail, Avon and possibly as far as Edwards. Consider land usage projects and partnerships. Potential for Timber Ridge, parking usage and mixture of offerings to help with parking requirements • Godec agreed it was a productive meeting commenting it was a great discussion about how the VLHA works with Council. The council does not want to micromanage but is interested in hearing suggestions and is open to a variety of projects, land use and suggestions. The Council was also responsive to possible programs that will offer more down payment assistance support from the banking community • The 3Ps: Progression Partnership Prioritization 4.2. Communicating Housing Matters with the Community 15 Min. Presenter: George Ruther, Housing Director and Steve Lindstrom, VLHA Chairman • Conversation around the many ways the VLHA and TOV Housing Staff can work together to provide more communication to the public about housing programs, Vail InDEED, upcoming meetings, where to find more information and more. • Website, email blasts, brokerage community information, infographics for social media, one-sheets to collaborative partnership groups, presentations, seminar series and more • TOV Housing Department is collaborating with Prima Vail in late October for a presentation aimed at locals and first time homebuyers through collaborative community efforts and presenters 4.3. Housing Lottery Application and Process 15 Min. Presenter: Martha Anderson and Missy Johnson, Housing Coordinators • Review of the Public Housing Lottery Housing Application Process Memo which highlighted key components around a Town of Vail Local Housing Lottery process to include eligibility, lottery process, deed restriction terms, sales price determination, recent lottery summary and application revision from key learnings • Recent lottery summary highlighted the outcomes from the lottery of a Chamonix townhome and Pitkin Creek Park condo with the desire to streamline the process. • The goal is to reformat the application and required documentation so that all items are quickly and easily verifiable without a doubt • We suggest moving away from the inclusions of items that are not a necessary part of the lottery process • Revisit the requirement and timing of the first-time homebuyer class • The TOV staff seeks feedback from the VLHA as we continue to improve this process and consider changing the ticketing format for the future • Further action to be presented at a future meeting and presented to Town Council 5. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Member 143 5.1. Matters from the Chairman and Authority Members Presenter: Steve Lindstrom, Chairman • Ruther spoke about his speaker role at a recent conference in Cape Cod and including some of the questions and feedback he receives. Largely the appeal starts around the Vail InDEED program. Several communities don’t have the opportunity for an Authority to work closely with a Town Council like we experience in Vail. The Vail Housing 2027 Strategic Plan changed the use of “workforce housing or employee housing” to what it is “community housing or homes for residents.” The enabling legislation that is set up in Colorado allow the VLHA to set up as a separate authority. It is very unique and it is often overlooked. We are very fortunate to work together to support the issues. The questions are typically around the mechanics around Vail InDEED, AMI, and the team involved to get the work done. • Lindstrom and Anderson recapped the presentation from Dylan Roberts that took place at the Avon Public Library last week. • Anderson invited the VLHA to participate in the Difference Makers Build Day on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022, 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. through Habitat for Humanity.

Town Council had questions during the last meeting specific to the construction being done to create the new “Chasing Rabbits” entertainment venue. II.BACKGROUND Town Council approved an amendment to the Solaris Development Agreement in September 2020. The amendment changed the term “Movie Theater” to “Entertainment Venue” and included the following: Required public amenities include one bowling alley and one “entertainment venue”. The entertainment venue must include two movie screens and at least one other amenity with a primary purpose to provide for the entertainment of customers and invitees of the entertainment venue, including a nightclub, music venue, restaurant, movie screen, performance art facility, or indoor recreational facility. Should Solaris/”Crossroads” want to permanently discontinue the operation of either required public amenity, they need to provide 90 days written notice and good faith efforts to negotiate an amendment to the agreement. The amendment would replace one or more other public amenities. Should Solaris/”Crossroads” deliberately cease to operate the required public amenities for more than 120 days, they will pay the town $5,000 per day that amenity is not operated. The required public amenities must be operated year-round. If closed for more than 30 consecutive days during off-season (or more than 40 of 60 off-season days), the town will be paid a $5,000 per day penalty for each day the amenity is closed. Off season is defined as any time period when Vail Mountain lifts are not in operation. Renovations were to be completed by November 30, 2021, defined in the agreement as the “Entertainment Venue Deadline”.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST At the August 16, 2022, Town Council meeting, an update from staff was requested on the status of the West Middle Creek applications. II. BACKGROUND/UPDATE The proposed development requires three separate applications to the Planning and Environmental Commission (PEC). x Land Use designation change from Open Space to High Density Multiple Family and Public/Semi-Public x Minor Subdivision to create two new lots, housing development and early childhood education center. x Zone District Boundary Amendment to change from Natural Area Preservation to Housing and General Use from General Use to Natural Area Preservation. Town Council will be the final decision maker for the land use designation and zoning amendments following a recommendation from the PEC. Since the scope of the project has changed with the addition of a new parcel, the public notice was redone. The applications are scheduled to be heard by the PEC on September 26, 2022. An illustration of the proposed zone change is included below to provide a general orientation of the project. 167 168 III.

SUMMARY: Staff was asked to provide an update on the rezoning application for the recently purchased home located at 5137 Black Gore Drive in East Vail. The intent of the update is to present an analysis of zoning options and to explore an appropriate zoning framework. 171 Town of Vail Page 2 II. BACKGROUND The Town acquired 5137 Black Gore Drive on July 30, 2021. The existing residence consisting of a single family home, a Type 1 EHU and possibly an additional unit is zoned Two-Family Residential. The lot is approximately one third of an acre, or 13,287 square feet in size. To maximize the use of the property while maintaining the character of the neighborhood, staff reviewed various zoning options that may be appropriate for the area. III. ZONING OPTION UPDATE Four different zone districts were explored as possibilities for the site. Two-Family Residential is the current zoning on the site and Residential Cluster, Low Density Multiple-Family and Housing were the other districts considered. On April 19, 2022, Town Staff provided the Town Council with an analysis of these options. The Housing District was not considered appropriate as it requires a twenty (20) foot setback from the perimeter of the zone district. As the rezoning would only affect the subject parcel, the required setback is not compatible with the current structure. Due to a staff oversight, it has become apparent that the recommended Residential Cluster Zone District is not an appropriate zoning for the subject property. The Residential Cluster Zone District has a minimum lot size requirement of 15,000 square feet whereas the subject property is only 13,287 square feet. The Vail Town Code (Sec. 12-3-8 Zoning Changes; Town Property) requires that town property undergoing a rezoning must be in full compliance with the standards of the new zone district. Community Development will continue discussions with Housing and other departments on possible future zoning scenarios for this property. 172 AGENDA ITEM NO. 5.10 Item Cover Page DATE:September 6, 2022 SUBMITTED BY:Pete Wadden, Environmental Sustainability ITEM TYPE:Information Update AGENDA SECTION:Information Update SUBJECT:Letter to Vail Resorts regarding September 2021 discharge to Mill Creek and Gore Creek SUGGESTED ACTION: VAIL TOWN COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM REPORT ATTACHMENTS: LettertoVR_CDPHE_USFS.docx 173 Kirsten Lynch 390 Interlocken Cres. Broomfield, CO September 1, 2022 RE: September 2021 discharge to Mill Creek and Gore Creek Dear Kirsten Lynch, In 2012, Colorado Department of Health and Environment (CDPHE) added Gore Creek to the 303(d) list of impaired waterways due to low aquatic life. This came as alarming news to a local community that counts environmental stewardship among its core values and had taken pride in Gore Creek as a renowned destination for anglers and whitewater enthusiasts. Even before Gore Creek’s 303(d) listing, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, Town of Vail and other partners had begun a multi-year study to determine the causes of declining insect populations in the primary waterway that runs through town. This study resulted in the publication of the Gore Creek Water Quality Improvement Plan, followed by the Gore Creek Strategic Action Plan which was adopted by the Vail Town Council on March 15, 2016. The plan lists three main causes of impairment in Gore Creek: Pollutants from land use activities Drainage from impervious surfaces The loss of riparian vegetation The Plan goes on to list eleven “pollutants of primary concern” in Gore Creek. Among those eleven, four are “Pesticides, Fertilizers, Herbicides, and Insecticides.” As a result, education about wise use of landscaping chemicals became a major focus of Restore the Gore efforts. Town of Vail hosts free annual trainings for landscapers and property managers, created an award-winning video series on sustainable landscape management, and has eliminated the use of foliar-applied pesticides in its own landscape management. The Town of Vail has budgeted approximately $1 million per year each year since 2016 to address the causes of impairment in Gore Creek. This has included efforts to educate the community about the problems Gore Creek is facing and what can be done to address them, stormwater treatment projects (several with the support of grant funds from CDPHE and the Colorado Department of Transportation), and the planting of more than 20,000 native trees and shrubs on town property along Gore Creek. As a result, the community saw steady progress in restoring aquatic insect populations in Gore Creek and some of its impaired tributaries each year from 2017 to 2020. The discharge that occurred on Mill Creek in September 2021 devastated aquatic insect populations on both Mill Creek and Gore Creek for more than a mile downstream. Insect surveys completed in the days following the spill showed that the combined number of species of mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies dropped from 25 above the culvert where the spill originated on Mill Creek, to two species at the confluence of Mill Creek and Gore Creek. Mayfly 174 Town of Vail Page 2 species were particularly hard hit. On Gore Creek, Baetis mayflies were found in densities of nearly 4,500 insects per square meter above the culvert on Mill Creek where the discharge originated. Density of Baetis mayflies dropped to less than 100 insects per square meter below Mill Creek and essentially zero insects per square meter several hundred yards downstream near the International Bridge. Baetis densities remained degraded 1.4 miles downstream at the Forest Road Bridge (the farthest downstream that was surveyed) where their numbers had recovered to about 1,400 per square meter; less than one third of what they were above the confluence with Mill Creek. While Town of Vail acknowledges that mistakes happen, mistakes also have consequences. In this case, the consequences were a major setback to a multi-year, multi-million-dollar effort to restore a cherished natural resource. Gore Creek restoration has consistently scored as one of the two highest priorities for Vail residents on community surveys in the past six years. This is a community that cares about its central waterway and has shown its willingness to invest in its restoration and preservation. It is our understanding that CDPHE has already worked with Vail Resorts to establish protocols and procedures that are designed to prevent such a spill from occurring again. However, as CDPHE and other state agencies continue their investigation into this discharge and its causes, Town of Vail would like to respectfully ask that the costs and consequences to the local community and local ecosystem be taken into consideration.
