3.Main Agenda
3.1 Prepare for VailHomePartners Meeting on February 6 with the Vail Town
Council
This Authoritymeeting is in prep of the Joint Session withTown Council on Tuesday,
February 6. Th Authorityagreed to cancel the Authoritymeeting currently scheduled for
February 13.
Lindstrom spoke about the history of the creation of Vail Home Partners and the 10
Housing Policies which can be found at vail.gov/housing under the Housing Documents
section.
Conversation ensued around the possibility of future capabilitiesfor the Vail Home
Partners and variety of roles specific to the West Middle Creek Project. This body of Vail
Home Partners is a commonly used name when referencing the two organizations working
in tandem together, but it is not a legal entity.
The Authorityseeks togather input from the Town Council on the housing Authority’s role
in financing to be a better partner to the Council (grant funding, issuer of bonds and
anything in between).
1.Lindstrom referenced a 2022 memo and previous discussion items:
What is the Vail Town Council’s vision for the future of housing in Vail? What role does
partnering in housing solutions down valley play and how is it best to address the
unintended consequences? What does a down valley partnership look like?
2.From a housing perspective, what is going to be different 5 to 7 years from now? What
progress has the Town made towards achieving the housing goal? How have the
conditions changed?
3. There has been great progress towards the goal of 1,000 additional deed restrictions
based on the 2027 Strategic Housing Plan. Where do we want this to go in the future,
in town, out of town, for sale and for rent in determining the emphasis of dollars spent.
4. Additional Strategic Ideas from the Authority to consider in the final work session
memo were discussed and a few documents may be used as a reference and/or to
provide to new council members.
Martha will provide the Town of Vail Stewardship Plan to the Authority, which
includes a housing element.
Consider using the 2019 Economic Value of Housing as an inclusion in the packet
for Council and show the value, economic sense, and ROI to further community
housing projects.
5. Outcomes that the Authority seeks:
What is the preferred role for the Authority in communications regionally with fellow
public partners or future projects such as West Middle Creek?
Shall the Authority discuss future project locations in larger terms in preparation for
the future?
Shall we have future conversations around re-allocation of funding or future
acquisition planning once Timber Ridge II residences are sold?
Discussion around housing decision making, future Housing Policy Statements
and where does the Council sit regarding future housing projects outside the Town
limits?
