There was a presentation by staff who presented a review of the role of welcome centers in the
economic place of Vail, staff presented a guest services vision which was adopted in 2011, and
highlighted goals for future operation of the Welcome Centers/Host Program. Suggestions were
developed by the Town’s partner agencies. Zemler requested permission to proceed with the
RFP that would direct future operations of the centers and he then recommended a role for town
council in terms of interviewing the finalist; the following steps were proposed, as follows:
 May 17, 2016 – Request for Proposals issued

There was support to proceed with the proposed RFP process.
Mayor Chapin asked for public comment.
Michael Kurz, VEAC, commented about the need for centers representing the “brand front”
with the suggestion that the positions are permanent and highly professional representatives.
He suggested they make a paradigm shift to a “retail brand outlet” with a review of the mission
and look for a strategic partner that can help keep the customer instead of sending them
elsewhere for the information.
Stephen Connolly, supported a review of all town facilities operations, supported current
center operator, be realistic about the mission of the facilities.
Zemler suggested no action be taken at this time on the specific scope of the proposal so staff
could evaluate the input in order to make further revisions. Staff would return for final approval

through the impacts and challenges
 There would need to be participation and decisions made by VRD and BFAG and
Nature Center before any final decision would be made
 This may serve as an iconic event for Vail
 Proposal deserves a thorough vetting identifying problems and potentials and most did
not support the need for a decision by June 10, requested an eight week delay

6) Drafted an rfp is in the packet w/ a timetable
The amended RFP document was reviewed and the town council would still serve as the
selection committee throughout the process. There were comments that the scope of the
RFP should allow the vendor to explain “what they will be doing for the town” and not what the
town wants the vendor to do. Moffet moved to approve the RFP amended document and
evaluation process to include Town Council as the selection committee. Bruno seconded the
motion and it passed (7-0).
6.2. Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2016, First Reading, An Ordinance Amending Chapter 7 of
Title 5 of the Vail Town Code Concerning the Liability for Costs Associated with the Town's
Provision of Fire Protection Services to Properties Located Outside Town Boundaries
Presenter(s): Mark Novak, Fire Chief
Action Requested of Council: Approve, amend or deny Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2016 on
first reading.
Background: This ordinance will amend existing Town Code to clarify specific issues related to
providing emergency services to parties outside the municipal limits of the Town of Vail.
Chief Novak noted the following changes to Chapter 7 of Title 5 of the Town of Vail Code
proposed in Ordinance No. 10 are:
 5-7-2 (A) Clarifies that requests for service in areas outside the municipal limits of the Town
of Vail do not necessarily originate with the Eagle County Sheriff
 5-7-2 (D) Clarifies billing procedures and liability for payment for response to properties
outside the municipal limits of the Town of Vail.
He also suggested staff would submit a separate resolution amending the current fee structure
for response to properties out of the municipal boundaries of the Town of Vail at the June 7,
2016 Town Council meeting. There was some discussion about the need to codify this topic,
the suggestion to change “shall to may” on the first page, 5-7-2 A, the liability section of the
ordinance, and the possibility of seeking funding from USFS since these homes are outside of
town boundaries.
Moffet moved to approve Ordinance No. 10, Series of 2016, First Reading, An Ordinance
Amending Chapter 7 of Title 5 of the Vail Town Code Concerning the Liability for Costs
Associated with the Town's Provision of Fire Protection Services to Properties Located
Outside Town Boundaries, with a revision to include “may” instead of “shall” in Section 5-7-2
A. Bruno seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). There was no public input.
6.3. The owner of the multi-use Vista Bahn Building, located at 298 Hanson Ranch Road,
requests permission to proceed through the Conditional Use Permit process for an outdoor
patio on Town of Vail property in the Commercial Core I (CC1) Zone District. The Vail Town
Code refers to outdoor dining/seating as "Outdoor Patio" in reference to permitted and
conditional uses in the Commercial Core I (CC1) Zone District.
Presenter(s): Jonathan Spence, Planner
Town Council Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2016
Page 6
July 5, 2016 - Page 16 of 68
Action Requested of Council: The Community Development Department requests that the
Town Council evaluate the proposal to utilize Town of Vail property for the purposes of an
outdoor patio. This utilization of Town of Vail property would be subject to the terms of a
revocable ROW permit and lease agreement and could be discontinued and removed if
required to do so.
Background: The Vail Village Design Considerations recognize outdoor patios as a potential
positive contributing factor in the creation of a strong streetscape framework.
Chris Neubecker, Planning Manager, presented the business request on behalf of the property
owner. After some discussion about the process and likely outcome of a “lease agreement” with
the property owner, it was determined there have been these kinds of requests in the past and
there was support of the request. It was noted there would be ample room for emergency
personnel and equipment to access this area if turned into an extended patio space.
Moffet moved to direct staff to sign the application to proceed through the Conditional Use
Permit process for an outdoor patio on Town of Vail property in the Commercial Core I (CC1)
Zone District. The Vail Town Code refers to outdoor dining/seating as "Outdoor Patio" in
reference to permitted and conditional uses in the Commercial Core I (CC1) Zone District.
Foley seconded the motion and it passed (7-0). There was no public input.

Public Hearings
7.1. The applicant Karja LLC, represented by Bill Nutkins, AIA, NDG Architects, Inc, requests an
appeal of the final decision of the Town of Vail Planning and Environmental Commission
denying a request for a variance to allow for the construction of a trash enclosure within the
front setback for the property located at 265 Forest Road
Presenter(s): Matt Panfil, Planner
Action Requested of Council: Uphold, uphold with modifications, or overturn the Planning and
Environmental Commission decision.
Background: Based on the existing topography of the site and the lack of a reasonable
alternative location for a trash enclosure, the applicant requests an appeal of the Planning and
Environment Commission decision.
The public hearing was opened by Chapin. Staff presented the application request for a trash
enclosure within the front setback of the property located at 265 Forest Road which was denied
by PEC. Rick Fields, landscape architect, and Bill Nutkins, architect, presented on behalf of the
property owner. There was some discussion about the owners preference to place the trash
cans in between the buttress areas of the wall and requested an appeal to the PEC decision.
Public comments were invited at this time; there were no comments. The public hearing for
public input was closed. There were no further comments from the representatives of the
appellate. There was some discussion about whether the applicant met the criteria established
when granting such a variance; there did not seem to be any hardship identified.
Moffet moved to uphold the decision of the Planning and Environmental Commission to deny
the application for a variance request for the construction of a trash enclosure within the front
setback located at 265 Forest Road / Lot 21, Block 7, Vail Village Filing 1”, with the following
findings: “The Vail Town Code was properly applied in regard to the Planning and
Town Council Meeting Minutes of May 17, 2016

Environmental Commission denial of the requested variance associated with application

PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to:
 Provide Town Council an update on work prepared by TOV team
 Propose project schedule
 Request Town Council direction regarding supplementing the budget in July 2016 to make
necessary improvements
II.
BACKGROUND
The Town Council, citizens and staff have identified improving pedestrian safety along the frontage
roads of Vail as a priority. Specifically the concerns have dealt with improving pedestrian safety on
the frontage road during overflow parking days. The summer of 2015 experienced 20 overflow
days and this last ski season there were 29 overflow days. Additional concerns were raised
regarding the existing designated crossings of the frontage road and roundabouts. The Town of
Vail staff established a large all-inclusive internal working group representing the police
department, fire department, community development department, as well as risk management,
transit, parking, streets, engineering, landscape architects, public information and participation of
the Town Manger and specific department directors. The purpose was to brainstorm ideas and
issues from all levels of the organization. A complete list of ideas and issues is attached as
background on continuing efforts with regard to pedestrian safety town wide.
III.
CURRENT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ACTIVITIES
The outcome of the planning sessions regarding pedestrian safety resulted in three improvement
approaches. The first will be changes to operations during overflow parking days. This included, an
operations manual being prepared to ensure all team members are accountable for consistency
and improvement of safety. The operations manual will be written to address various levels of
overflow parking intensity. The operations review includes further collaborated planning and
anticipation of potential overflow incidents. One example of an operational change is in the use of
town variable message boards to include the message “Pedestrians Present Speed Limit 25”.
The second area of focus is a list of capital projects to be funded over time in making
improvements for pedestrians. A matrix is attached listing various levels of improvements. This
allows for further evaluation and phasing. The most significant initial installation is flashing
crosswalk signs at the major pedestrian crossings of the frontage road and roundabouts as well as
enhanced lighting at these crossings. The use of flashing signs is a shift in direction from past town
1
July 5, 2016 - Page 22 of 68
councils. Attached is a map of the proposed locations, as well as photos of the proposed signs.
The staff has prioritized the locations with regard to phasing the improvements over two to three
years.
Another initial improvement requires approval from the Colorado Department of Transportation.
The town has had discussions with Colorado Department of Transportation traffic engineers
regarding the use of variable speed limits when overflow parking exists. In addition to the use of
variable speed limits, the town would implement portable (pole mounted) “your speed is” and
flashing warning signs to educate and warn traffic of the prudent speed during frontage road
overflow parking days. All of these policies and improvements will require CDOT final approval.
Additional staff work is required to address the list of concerns and issues regarding pedestrian
safety throughout town. This work will continue through this year and additional updates to the
Town Council will be provided.
IV.

installation this fall totaling $410,000. The staff will request additional funds through the 2107
budget process for the remaining phases. The additional improvements will be requested to be
phased over the next two to three years.
Funding
The staff recommends using Capital and VRA funds when eligible to fund the pedestrian safety
improvements. Staff will also seek possible grant funds from various CDOT funding sources for the
2

SUBJECT:
2016 Budget Supplemental Appropriation
I.
SUMMARY
In Tuesday evening’s session, you will be asked to approve the first reading of Ordinance No.
15, Series 2016, a supplemental appropriation of the 2016 budget.
II.
DISCUSSION
Included in this supplemental discussion are requests for funding outside of the town’s normal
budget cycle, or “off-cycle contributions”. The purpose of this mid-year review is to provide an
opportunity for organizations that have newly identified projects or unforeseen changes to their
budgets to come forward all at the same time and for Council to provide consistent criteria and
evaluations. Staff recommendations for these requests are attached on page 4.
General Fund
Budgeted revenue will be adjusted by an increase of $20,784 directly offset by corresponding
expenditures of $9,000 of donations raised by the Friends of the Library that will be used
towards funding a media display in the Galleria and $11,784 of state funding for the Northwest
Incident Management Team training exercise that occurred May 4th-6th in Winterpark, CO.
An overall expenditure increase of $60,277 is requested with $20,784 of that relating to the
expenditures mentioned above. Other proposed expenditure adjustments include $5,000 for
employees to participate in the Sole Power program, a valley-wide “green community” program.
The dollars would be used for an employee incentive program ($0.25/mile bonus for green
commuting) to reach the TOV’s goal of 20,000 miles. The incentive is capped at $500 for
individuals. In addition, staff is requesting $23,493 for town’s portion of a special assessment by
Vail Village Inn’s homeowner association; and $10,000 for the Western Land Group (WLG) to
examine eleven Federal land parcels adjacent to the town and determine the feasibility of the
Town acquiring any of these parcels. This study is in response to Council’s priority to address
the need of affordable housing in the community. WLG will provide a report summarizing their
findings including recommendations, costs, and timetables. The report is scheduled to be
completed August 30th, 2016. Also requested is $11,700 to contract with Eagle County to
manage the town’s housing lottery and sales through The Valley Home Store. This service was
1
July 5, 2016 - Page 38 of 68
previously managed by the town by a now vacant position. This expense will be directly offset
by salary savings from this position and will have no net impact to the General Fund.
The off-cycle contributions are included in this budget request based on staff recommendations
however no off-cycle funding requests are recommended at this time. Please see page 4 for
details of the contribution requests and staff recommendations.
These adjustments to the General Fund 2016 budget result in a net surplus of $16,773, with a
resulting fund balance of $23.6 million by the end of 2016, or 64% of annual revenues.
Capital Projects Fund
Staff is requesting to supplement 2016 expenditures by a total of $2,305,447. New projects and
increases requested include:
 $330,000 of previously approved funding for public art of the I-70 underpass to be
moved forward from the 2018 budget.
 $1,950,000 increase for the East Vail Fire Station renovation for a total project budget of
$3.6M based on Council’s approval on
 $25,447 increase of buy-down funds to be used to renovate the East Vail Fire Station
housing units. Renovation of the existing unit will total $227,094 and will be funded with
the current buy-down funds budget of $201,647 plus the additional $25,447
supplemental request. A new employee housing unit will also be constructed at an
estimated cost of $209,025, and will be funded by budgeted housing fee-in-lieu funds.
The total construction and renovation of the new and existing units will total $436,119
with a net budget effect of $25,447.
The proposed budget adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $16.3 million by
the end of 2016.
Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT) Fund
Budgeted revenues will increase by $6,000 to reflect a donation toward the Sole Power program
from Volvo ($5K) and First Bank ($1K) to be directly off set by corresponding expenditures to
fund the Sole Power program.
The proposed budget adjustments will result in an estimated fund balance of $4.6 million by the
end of 2016.
Dispatch Services
Revenue will be adjusted by a $9,085 reimbursement from Pitkin Country for corresponding
expenditures relating to an intergovernmental agreement to supply Vail Dispatch Services staff
while Pitkin County rebounds from a severe staffing shortage. There is no net impact to the
Dispatch Fund.
Timber Ridge Enterprise Fund
Staff is requesting $49,000 additional capital dollars for the renovation of the 18 units masterleased by Vail Resorts. Over a three year span, the town will invest just over $700,000 to
renovate all 54 master-leased units. The town will re-coup this capital investment over a five
year period through increased rental rates. The renovations include carpet/linoleum
2
July 5, 2016 - Page 39 of 68
replacement, drywall repairs, interior paint, new front entry doors and trim, and remaining
bathroom remodels.
Vail Marketing Fund
Budgeted revenue will be adjusted by an increase of $46,000 for additional business license
collections relating to the new “Rental By Owner” ordinance requiring a business license. As a
result corresponding management fee expenditures paid to the General Fund will need to
increase by $2,300, 5% of the incremental change in business license revenue.

July 5, 2016 - Page 40 of 68
2016 Off-Cycle Contributions
A. Vail Centre
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Centre is requesting $1,500,000 to finance the development of
a dedicated lifelong learning facility at the Treetops building in Lionshead.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not recommend funding based on the fact that the request is
outside council contributions policies for education and enrichment funding. Specifically, it is not within the
policy to fund capital assets but rather to fund programs and events. The only examples of the town
contributing to capital improvements of outside agencies is a $500K contribution to the Betty Ford Alpine
Gardens, which is located within Ford Park and on town land. The other example is a $500K contribution
for construction elements (not finishes or fixtures) of a major renovation of the Colorado Ski Museum.
The Ski Museum is improving a town-owned building. Both of those facilities would most likely be
operated by the town if the entities ever ceased to exist. Assisting with the purchase of a building, the
improvements or operations for an external entity is not appropriate for funding with taxpayer dollars.
B. Vail Valley Foundation
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Valley Foundation is requesting $50,000 for the expansion of
the America’s Winter Opening Festival which would involve of the rollup of Snow Daze and the Birds of
Prey events under the America’s Winter Festival umbrella. The expended event would include beer tents,
awards/bib draws, athlete signings, legend focused events, and public participatory events such as snow
shoeing.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The town is currently contributing $40,000 and in-kind services to the
Snow Daze event; staff believes that a discussion between Council and the Vail Valley Foundation is
necessary in order to make a funding decision.
C. Vail Valley Foundation dba Vail International Dance Festival
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Vail Valley Foundation is requesting $15,000 to fund the new
Community Art Access Program launching summer 2016. The contribution would be used to provide
complimentary access to experience live preforming arts to community members who otherwise would not
have the opportunity.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff does not recommend funding with taxpayer dollars. Council is
currently funding the International Dance Festival at the appropriate level of $47,000 and hopes that a
portion of this funding can be used to contribute to the Community Arts Access Program.
D. Vail Valley Charitable Fund
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Vail Valley Charitable Fund is requesting $25,000 for the Unveiled
Calendar Fundraising event to support their Direct Aid Grant Program.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: While staff greatly respects this organization and the service they provide
to the community, it is not recommended for funding because it does not fit the criteria for Council
contributions. It has been Council’s policy to not support fundraising events in that it is not an appropriate
use of taxpayer dollars.

the International Plumbing Code was the 2102 Edition. Since that time, however, the
International Code Council has published the 2015 Edition of the International Plumbing Code.
The newly published edition of the International Plumbing Code has been adopted by the State
of Colorado. This is more commonly referred to as the “Colorado Plumbing Code”. Plumbing
contractors and similar plumbing-related professionals are licensed by the State of Colorado. As
an obligation of their licensure, plumbing contractors are required to complete their work in
compliance with the Colorado Plumbing Code.
III.
Examples of Changes
The International Code Council (ICC) is responsible for the formulation of the International
Codes (i.e., plumbing code, building code, mechanical code, fuel gas code, etc.). Upon
publishing updated editions of the respective codes, ICC also publishes a reference document
entitled, “Significant Changes to the International Plumbing Code”. The purpose of this
document is to highlight the additions, modifications and clarifications to the code requirements.

In the case of the 2015 Edition of the International Plumbing Code, no significant changes exist,
and therefore, no local amendments are being proposed. Examples of changes include:
•
•
•
•
Floor drains are now considered waste receptors.
Water coolers or water dispensers are now substitutable for a drinking fountain.
Fat, Oil, and Grease Disposal Systems are now an additional form of grease interceptor
that can be used.
Required Public Toilet Facilities are no longer required for small businesses where quick
transactions, such as take out, pick up and drop off occurs.
In summary, the majority of the changes and modifications broaden or further expand the
means and methods whereby a plumbing contractor can comply with the requirements of the
code and makes the use of newly developed technology and plumbing materials permissible.
III.
Action Requested
The Vail Town Council shall approve, approve with modifications, or deny Ordinance No. 12,
Series of 2106 on second reading.
