Background: Chief Henninger has served as the President of
the International Association of Chiefs of Police for the past

disasters that left our country reeling. With those challenges in
mind, Chief Henninger made it his priority to the building and
rebuilding of community trust. Chief Henninger has said,
“building and rebuilding trust in our communities and around
the world, is something so critical that we cannot lose focus on
it as our primary objective”. He has spent the last year
travelling the globe taking this message to police leaders.
Chief Henninger has been an excellent model for law
enforcement leaders to follow and an outstanding
representation of the Town of Vail.

Subject:Support local ecosystems
Date:Tuesday, November 1, 2022 5:43:29 PM
Thanks to the Town of Vail leaders for their continued efforts to protect a local ecosystem. In "The Book of Hope" by Jane Goodall, the leading
conservationist describes what gives her hope for our natural world and its biodiversity. Her hope lies with individuals and communities.
Communities like ours who recognize that millions of smaller ecosystems saved, protect and create larger ecosystems.
When referring to Vail Resort's desire to develop an important local ecosystem, Mr. Bill Rock is quoted as saying this desire is not about
money. I will argue, for the following reasons, that the location of that development is all about money.
First, Vail Resorts owns "the eyesore", as the property in west Lionshead has been referred to over the decades. It is the perfect place for VR
to house employees. The location is safe with a low environmental footprint, as it is walkable to all amenities. The east Vail property is 5 miles
from town, unsafe for walking and requires a 14 mile round trip by car to amenities; in addition to destroying a hillside that was once thought to
have been open space. Differing property values between these two locations is why the conflict is all about money. Vail Resorts could beautify
"the eyesore" for employee housing.
Additionally, the current iteration of Vail Resort's management demonstrates little concern or respect for our environment. Within the last year
alone, VR dumped millions of gallons of treated snowmaking water into Gore and Mill creeks over 3 days causing a significant fish kill. The
corporation has bulldozed an unauthorized road through alpine tundra, filled a wetland with logs and has vowed to sue the Town of Vail in order to
effect the demise of a native sheep herd. When Mr. Rock claims, without proof and against multiple wildlife experts, that he can build at that
location without effecting much, I don't believe it since actions speak louder than words and this is about money.
Last month, the World Wildlife Fund published the Living Planet report for 2022 which demonstrated a nearly 70% decline in wildlife
populations within the last 50 years. (*) The proximate cause for this decline is land development. Vail Resorts is doing its part to contribute to
that statistic by suing our community, as an out of town company, in order to raze finite resources with no concern for community wishes or
future generations. It is all about money!

Award Nomination
This nomination is for the Outstanding Government or Nonprofit Diversion Program award, and
is to recognize the partnership between an outstanding government and nonprofit: the Town of
Vail and Walking Mountains Science Center. This partnership, which began in 2013, has
propelled waste diversion efforts in Eagle County through zero waste events, policy,
sustainability workforce creation, increased access and infrastructure, education and outreach,
and more. It has created a model and lessons learned for a partnership between a local
government and a nonprofit organization while advancing local waste diversion and climate
action goals, which includes 30% overall waste diversion, 80% organics diversion, and 100% of
recoverable construction & demolition waste diversion, all by 2030.
The Town of Vail has been a leader in sustainability and waste diversion throughout the Eagle
County community and beyond. Vail is a Sustainable Destination through the Mountain IDEAL
certification and Town staff create innovative programming and policy guided by Vail’s
Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan. Walking Mountains is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that
focuses on natural science education, and the Sustainability Programs Department acts as the
sustainability hub for the Eagle County community. The Sustainability Programs department
runs a variety of initiatives throughout the community, including Waste Reduction & Diversion
programs and facilitation of the Climate Action Collaborative. The partnership has drawn on the
tools and resources of both a local government and nonprofit organization to attack waste
diversion from different angles.
In 2014, the Town of Vail implemented a mandatory recycling ordinance. Having that policy in
place not only significantly increased recycling in the Town, from a 9% recycling rate in 2014 to
35% today, but also provided a foundation and a catalyst for waste diversion to be at the
forefront of programming and future policy. In 2013, the Town of Vail and Walking Mountains
started the zero waste events program with the Vail Farmers Market. Friendly volunteers
through Walking Mountains set up zero waste stations every Sunday and helped folks to divert
their waste from the landfill. Since then the program has grown well beyond the Farmers
Market. The capacity has increased - moving from volunteers to part-time interns, and now
today, full-time, paid sustainability interns who help to staff not only the Vail Farmers Market, but
over 100 zero waste event days throughout Eagle County annually. Events include GoPro
Mountain Games, which in 2022 saw 84% (10,710lb) of waste diverted through recycling and
composting in the five days of activation. Since 2013, over 200,000lb of waste has been
diverted from the landfill from zero waste events in the Town of Vail. In 2021, there was an 82%
diversion rate across all events.
Beyond the diversion numbers, the zero waste events program and overall partnership have
proven to have significant co-benefits. From the policy side, through the success of the events
we have seen where the challenges and gaps are, and have continued to improve and address
those, for example, the need for increased vendor education and compliance to close the loop
between waste brought into the event and what can be diverted. Without vendors and event
organizers bringing in divertable serviceware, the zero waste team cannot successfully divert
waste from the landfills. That led to the creation of the Celebrate Green event resources and the
Zero Waste Vendor Guidelines that event organizers must abide by in order to not only contract
the Walking Mountains zero waste team, but also to receive their event permits from the Town.
This partnership also helps to develop the next generation of sustainability professionals. Over
80 paid interns have gone through this program, many of whom have stayed working in the
community and/or in the field of sustainability. The partnership also allows for direct, on-the-
9
ground, community education in waste diversion. By having staff and interns work the zero
waste events, we are able to teach people in real time what is compostable and recyclable, how
waste relates to climate action, what folks can and cannot divert at home, and how to make
everyday choices to lessen one’s impact on the environment. Over 200,000 people come
through Town of Vail events annually, and through this partnership we are able to educate
locals and tourists alike about waste diversion and climate action in Vail, Eagle County,
Colorado, and beyond.
The partnership extends beyond events, for example with the Business Recycling Challenge, a
friendly annual competition to see what business in town is the best at recycling. Through
weekly waste audits conducted at participating businesses, the business with the best diversion
rate at the end of the Challenge wins, and along the way all businesses are coached and helped
to divert more waste, recycle right, and troubleshoot challenges with the experts. This initiative
taps into the Eagle Valley’s inherent sense of competitiveness, but is also used as an
opportunity to engage the business community in waste diversion, enforce the recycling
ordinance, and attack and address contamination.
Additional waste-related initiatives through this partnership include:
• Hard-to-Recycle events to collect organics, e-waste, and hazardous materials
from the community. Two annual events are held in the Town of Vail, paid for by
the Town's bag fee. Walking Mountains helps to staff the event and provide
additional education to community members attending the events. Since 2016,
85 tons of hard-to-recycle material has been collected through the events.
• Walking Mountains sends interns to the County’s free recycling drop sites,
including the Town of Vail’s, to provide direct education and outreach around
waste and climate action and to collect data about dropsite participation and
contamination.
• The Town of Vail started the first residential curbside composting pilot program in
the Eagle Valley with Vail Honeywagon, with Walking Mountains assisting with
outreach. In the first year there are 56 participants including one HOA with 22
units in the West Vail neighborhood, and will expand to East Vail in late summer
2022. The Town will also be starting a commercial composting curbside pilot
program in 2022, which will be a focal point in the Business Recycling
Challenge.

in the valley to understand and address issues facing
wildlife populations. Together we will identify a shared
vision and realistic actions to protect regional wildlife,
while also ensuring that these actions are supported by
the community as a whole. We want to leverage diverse
values, creativity, and resources to move toward
positive action and enduring solutions to the complex
wildlife issues in Eagle County.
The vision of the Eagle County Community Wildlife
Roundtable is that wildlife is thriving, our community
embraces the value of a diverse wildlife population and
takes action to protect and enhance wildlife and their
habitat for future generations.
