Financial Implications:
The transfer of ownership application fees have been submitted to the Town of Avon and the State fees

Findings:
A background investigation has been completed by the Avon Police Department and the report indicates
Lana Sweaney was a passenger in a vehicle on 9/1/15, the driver was arrested for DUI, Lana Sweaney was
too intoxicated to care for herself and was taken to Detox as she would not cooperate with Officers in
releasing her to a sober party. On 09/05/2015, Lana Sweaney was arrested and released on Summons for
Driving while alcohol impaired and driving without headlights. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation show a
driving under the influence charge December 24, 2004 for Lana Sweaney.
The reports indicate no concerns with Daniel Goldberg’s background.
Action Options:
Requests for licenses may be denied for various reasons such as the applicant is not of good moral
character, the applicant’s character, record, or reputation is unsatisfactory, or the proposed outlet is
within 500 feet of any school.
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve or deny the Transfer of Ownership Liquor License for 3 Dragons, LLC d/b/a China

PROPERTY TAXES
Total assessed values of the Town fell by 32% in the four years following the great recession.
Although assessed values have gained back some of those values this year, total values for
2015 remain at more than 20% below those in 2010. 2010 and 2012 were Assessed Valuation
re-evaluation years.
Avon’s Net Assessed Valuation was at its greatest in 2010; in 2015 the Assessed Valuation is
$50,500,000 below the 2010 value
Avon’s mill levy rate has remained constant since 2005
Avon’s mill rate represents 13.8% of the overlapping jurisdictions property tax rate in 2015; a
reduction from 15.7% in 2010
Town operating revenues have been reduced by a total of $1,866,416 over that same four
year period. However, the level of municipal services has not changed.
In 1998, the voters of Avon approved a ballot question that removed the constitutional
restrictions of property tax revenue growth placed upon it by TABOR. However, decreases in
assessed values cannot be made up for by increases in mill rate without an election
Due to TABOR, any reduction to the Town’s operating mill rate would be of a permanent nature
and could not be later increased without an election, unless the Town allowed a temporary mill
levy rate reduction with re-imposition.

REAL ESTATE TRANFER TAXES (RETT)
The Town approved a 1% RETT in 1978. The rate was increased to 2% to 1987. While not
limited to capital, the fund is utilized exclusively for the Town’s capital improvements,
including the support of debt from existing revenue.
Since 2001, the Town has collected $32,829,891 in RETT. This amount, along with various
other grants and fees, has allowed the Town to invest almost $70 million in its infrastructure,
road and streets, facilities, parks and trails, technology and development.
The uses of the monies are shown in the graph below.
In equivalent rates it would, on average, require either a 1.81% sales tax increase or a 13.01
property tax mill rate increase to offset the loss of the Town’s real estate transfer tax based
on historical averages.

II.FUND BALANCE RESERVES
Purpose of the Reserve: To ensure the Town has adequate funds for cash flow purposes, to
address unforeseen reductions in operating revenues or increases in expenditures, economic
downturns, and the effects of natural disasters
The Town is required by TABOR to have 3% of the General Fund operating expenditures as a
reserve
The Town’s policy requires a 25% reserve, based upon the General Fund operating expenditures
The graph below illustrates that from 2005 through 2014 the Town has exceeded its 25% reserve
policy by having greater reserves on hand than required
The Town was able to retain greater reserves than required even during the recession period of
2008 – 2013, indicating that the Town is fiscally capable of new expenditures even during a long
period of global or national economic downturn or through a catastrophic local event

III.TOWN DEBT HISTORY & CURRENT OBLIGATIONS
Debt-financing allows the Town to pay for a high cost physical asset over a period of time, up
to its useful life (generally not less than 10 years), which cannot be funded through pay-as-
you-go collections.
The use of municipal debt is a financially responsible practice for certain types of capital
improvements within appropriate limitations and at appropriate interest rates.
The Town follows GFOA Best Practices in its issuance and management of debt to ensure
that the maturity structure and estimated debt service match the anticipated flow of
revenues available for debt service in a manner that will not raise credit concerns and will not
unduly contribute to unfavorable market reception.
Town general obligation debt is at its lowest level in over twenty years.
The Town’s legal debt limit (constitutional debt, i.e. general obligation and revenue bonds) is
$41,683,695. There is no limit on Certificates of Participation or capital leases.
Total Town debt service represents only 7% of total Town expenditures for 2016.
Two debt issues have either been retired or will be in 2016. The Town’s debt service mill rate
of 2.809 will expire at that time.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From: Town Engineer Justin Hildreth
Date: December 3, 2015
Agenda Topic: Request for Funding – Contribution to Eaglebend Affordable Housing Landscaping
BACKGROUND: The EagleBend Affordable Housing Corporation (EagleBend) is requesting the Town participate in
improving the landscaping along Eaglebend Drive in the amount of $28,041.10. The total project cost is estimated at
$56,082.20 and includes the installation of trees and native shrubs between the paved trail and parking lot.
Approximately half of the landscaping will be installed in the Eaglebend Drive Right-of-Way and the other half on
EagleBend property.
EagleBend is requesting the Town participate in the project because most of the original landscaping was removed
in 2007 by the Town during construction of the paved asphalt trail along Hurd Lane. There used to be numerous
trees and bushes between the parking lot and EagleBend Drive that provided a visual barrier between the parking
lot and road. The Town reseeded the area but did not replace any of the landscaping in 2007 because of budget
constraints.
EagleBend will provide the landscape design, manage the construction, provide irrigation and maintain the
landscaping improvements. Town Staff recommends Council appropriate the $28,041.10 for the project in the 2016
Capital budget.
Financials, as requested by Council are attached.

originally designed with the vehicle in mind with little attention to other modes of transportation. The
Town initiated a walkability audit this past summer to identify how to improve pedestrian and bicycle
safety and methods to incentivize economic vitality and social connections by addressing obstacles to
walkability.
The Town’s comprehensive street assessment has rated West Beaver Creek Boulevard for major
improvement in 2016, due to its deteriorated condition.
Planning the street comprehensively now is an appropriate and timely step in anticipation of
future Lot B and Sheraton phased expansion.
The walkability audit recommended, as a priority project, redesign of East and West Beaver Creek
Blvd.
The project includes modification of the street section, potential mini-roundabouts at Sun Road
and Beaver Creek Place, modifications to the existing Avon Road roundabout, on-street parking,
bicycle lanes, improved sidewalks, storm water quality treatment, lighting, wayfinding signage
and landscaping. Schematic level evaluation of on-street parking on Mikaela Way is included.
th
Note: During the November 10 discussion of the project, Councilor Jake Wolf asked about the potential
for a sidewalk to be included in the project traveling along West Beaver Creek Boulevard from Lake Street
to US 6. Exhibit A summarizes the background for the improvement and staff recommendation.
Review of Blue Zones Walkability Report:
Blue Zones, a leading company land use planning firm focused on walkability and community health, was
contracted by the Town in the summer of 2015. Work was led by national walkability expert Dan Burden,
who conducted a collaborative “Walkshop.”
About 25 key stakeholders from the Town, including the Mayor, several Town Council members,
staff, Planning Commission members, residents, businesses and property owners took to their
feet during a walking audit and collaborated during interactive sessions to identify the Town’s
assets and opportunities.

The primary goal of the Walkshop was to engage the community in transportation decision-
making by walking together to evaluate existing conditions. Together, Walkshop participants
determined next steps for encouraging active living and improving the quality of life through
more walkable streets.
Dan Burden’s presentation during the Walkshop highlighted several examples of walkability
improvements across the United States and their lasting effects.
For example, La Jolla Boulevard in San Diego (See Exhibit B – Case Study) was
transformed when a string of five roundabouts allowed the city to reduce the road from
five vehicle lanes to two.
The changes resulted in less travel time, added on-street parking, and new businesses
were attracted.
The changes still carried the original 23,000 vehicles a day.
The number of people walking went up, and the increase in walking, bicycling and street
life is bringing new business to retailers.
Beaver Creek Boulevard was showcased in the final Blue Zones report as a priority candidate for a
modified streetscape design with added on-street parking, bicycle lanes, and potential “modern”
roundabouts at Sun Road and Beaver Creek Place.
Dan Burden, from his experience stated, “Walkability is a cornerstone of what we refer to as a
sustainable community, one that has staying power.” When reflecting upon the sticker shock
often associated with funding larger streetscape projects, Dan explained that “the big cost is not
having access to bicycling, walking, and good social interaction. It’s not a matter of convincing
people. It’s a matter of preparing for what the market is already demanding.”
Public Outreach:
In recent weeks the abutting property owners/managers on Beaver Creek Boulevard were contacted to
discuss the project. Some were involved with the Blue Zones “Walkshop” in July and were pleased to
hear about the prospect of this work moving forward. Matt Pielsticker, Planning Director, reached out to
all of the properties and made direct contact with the following:
Sheraton: David Weiss, General Manager
Avon Center: Steve MacDonald, Avon Center Association
Avon Center: Mike Brumbaugh, Venture Sports
Alpine Bank: Brian Nestor, Vice President/Branch Manager
FirstBank: Adina Dean, Executive Vice President – Eagle County
Christie Lodge: Lisa Siegert-Free, Managing Director/General Manager
Junction Building: Doug Jimenez, Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate
Boat Building: Collin Baugh, Vin48
There was widespread support from everyone for the plan to revitalize Beaver Creek Boulevard with
pedestrian and streetscape improvements.
The Blue Zones report shows a comprehensive vision for a narrowed roadway, with more clearly
defined spaces for the automobile and pedestrians; and, explains the potential for commercial
renewal opportunities for the adjacent properties.
The overall sense of excitement and support was overwhelming from the property
representatives, when discussing the goals of the project.
Learning that they must be actively involved, the representatives were eager to join in and to
evaluate how to protect/enhance/relocate their entrances.
PSA for Beaver Creek Boulevard
Page 2 of 3
In addition, support for improvements and investments east of Avon Road were shared by
multiple property owners acknowledging that there has been less Town investment in recent
years in the east Avon core.
Specific comments, which exemplify the property representatives’ responses are:
“We love the concept for continuous, safe, sidewalks and real bike lanes. The lanes that were
painted this year do not feel safe…”
“This clearly adds value to the neighboring properties in terms of redevelopment.”
“It’s going to be great, we can’t wait to be a part of it!”
Long Range Planning Support
In addition to the Blue Zone planning report, Avon’s Comprehensive Plan and adopted Transportation Plan
support the walkability and safety concepts proposed for Beaver Creek Boulevard. Exhibit C provides
specific excerpts from the plans.
Staff Recommendation:
The high rating by the Town’s street assessment is an important criterion in looking to implementing the
proposed walkability program on West Beaver Creek Boulevard. Transportation planners and designers
have made a significant shift in their approach to the design and intended function of streets.
Conventional transportation planning was concerned primarily with the safe and efficient movement of
cars. The existing design and layout of Beaver Creek Boulevard was a direct result of inflated traffic
projections, prioritizing the automobile over other modes of travel, and minimizing the perceived
congestion that can be confused with slower traffic speeds.
Today, transportation planners are working with land-use experts and urban designers to create what has
been termed “complete streets”. Complete Streets promote healthy communities by offering viable
alternatives to driving. Not only do complete streets provide safe and accessible routes for all user
groups, but they have been found to create marketable value for abutting private property.
For the reasons of needed upgrade, planned future development and the opportunity to advance
walkability and economic incentives, staff recommends full planning and bidding of the project in 2016,
with construction planned for 2017, either as a complete project or in phases depending on the cost. We
recommend Council authorize the Design Workshop Team to proceed with Tasks 1 thru 3; Project Start-
Up, Development of a Preliminary Plan, and Public Outreach, which are provided as Attachment A. A
more thorough understanding of project scope and construction cost would be gained, prior to
completion of the remaining tasks: Design Development, Development of Construction Documents, and
finally Construction.
Recommended Motion:
I move to authorize issuance of PSA for Design Services for the 2016 Beaver Creek Boulevard
Reconstruction Project to Design Workshop for Tasks 1 thru 3 in the amount of $74,000, as described fully
in Attachment A.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council
From:Justin Hildreth, TownEngineer
Date: December 3, 2015
Agenda Topic: West Beaver Creek Blvd sidewalk from Avon Elementary School to Lake Street
Background: Currently, West Beaver Creek Blvd from Avon Elementary School to Lake Street has 2-12 FT
wide lanes and a 8-FT wide bike/pedestrian lane on the south side of the road. The 8-FT wide bike/ped
lane was constructed in 2007 as part of the asphalt road overlay. In 2007, Town Council’s direction was to
improve safety with the 8-FT wide lane for pedestrian’s and bicyclists. Town Council did not recommend
constructing a sidewalk because pedestrians can use the path system in the park.
Discussion: The West Beaver Creek Blvd right-of-way is 80-Ft wide and is adequate to accommodate the
construction of a 5-Ft wide sidewalk and the associated 2.5-Ft wide curb and gutter. The construction of
the sidewalk may have an impact on some private landscaping located in the right-of-way. The leg from
Avon Elementary School to Lake Street is 3,091 feet long and a preliminary cost estimate for the
construction of the sidewalk is $945,000. The total project cost is estimated to be $1.2M which includes
surveying, design fees and a contingency.
The proposed 2016 capital project budget includes $150,000 to apply a surry seal on West Beaver Creek
Blvd from US6 to Lake Street. The project includes a Walkability report recommendation to re-strip the
road to include 6-Ft wide bike lanes on each side and not to strip the double yellow lines in the center
from the railroad to Lake Street. The segment from US6 to the railroad will keep it’s current stiping
configuration which includes bike lanes in each direction. The intent is to create a east-west bicyle
corridor on East and West Beaver Creek Blvd. from US6 to Post Blvd.

The Transportation Plan supports the reduction of lanes on Beaver Creek Boulevard, while maintaining
acceptable Level of Service. After lane reductions, the additional corridor width “could be used for
streetscape improvements, pedestrian enhancements, and traffic calming measures.”
The Transportation Plan contains these recommendations to support changes to Beaver Creek
Boulevard:
On-street parking should be considered to help reduce the off-street parking supply in the West Town
Center.
Traffic calming along West Beaver Creek Boulevard approaching Sun Road would help improve
pedestrian safety.
Pedestrian crosswalk on West Beaver Creek Boulevard just northwest of the Sun Road
o
intersection. This crosswalk would consist of texture/patterned pavement to give motorists
a visual as well as tactile signal to slow down.
By reducing the number of lanes and narrowing the existing lanes on West Beaver Creek
o
Boulevard, a raised center island could be installed to split the crossing into two stages.
Streetscape improvements along West Beaver Creek Boulevard. Landscaping and street
o
furniture would enhance the pedestrian interest and experiences in this area. Similar road
narrowing along East Beaver Creek Boulevard would improve the pedestrian environment
and allow for streetscape enhancements and potential traffic calming measures.
Collector roads should contain detached sidewalks, bike lanes, and reduced (11’) travel lanes.

Topics: Agenda Item 5.3: Review and Recommended Action to Set a Maximum Building
Square Footage and Budget for the Police Department’s Relocation to the Public
Safety Facility at Lot 1B, Buck Creek Subdivision, and Preferred Option of Certificates
of Participation for Funding, subject to Voter Approval on May 3, 2106
Agenda Item 5.4: Review and Recommended Action on the Second Amendment to
the Intergovern- mental Agreement for a Joint Fire-Police Station Facility to Update
the Design Schedule, to set the Methodology for the Land Purchase at Lot 1B Buck
Creek Subdivision and the Conveyance Parcel, and to allow for a 2016 Construction
Start Date
BACKGROUND
On November 10, 2015, Town Council tabled action a Second Amendment for a Joint Fire-Police
Station Facility. Since that meeting, the following actions have occurred:
Price of Land: Eagle River Fire Protection District (ERFPD) agreed to a purchase price of $852,042.
The price was calculated based upon a review of methodologies for a schematic design completed
th
for the November 10 Council meeting, and most importantly, at the Town’s direction, without
including financing costs for Lot 1A and adding the land calculation for the conveyance parcel to the
total land area and value.
Changes to the ERFPD Regional Facility Program:The ERFPD is evaluating reducing its current
th
program to eliminate the 4 fire bay, and move some storage and office demands to other facilities.
The reduction of one fire bay and the smaller building size would free up a portion of the site,
thereby allowing 10 to 14 additional surface parking spaces, which could be used for the Police
Department needs. These proposed changes have allowed the Town the opportunity to revisit the
schematic program layout developed to date.
Efforts to Reduce the Price of the Avon Police Department Facility: The Council, during the
th
November 10 meeting, also voiced concerns about the size and cost of the project. The existing
space needs assessment of the Police Department at Town build-out anticipates a staff of 28
employees, an increase from the current 22 police department employees. The assessment
projected a need of 12,545 SF for the Police Department and 4,346 SF of shared space with the fire
district. The shared spaces includes stairwells, elevator, mechanical and electrical room, lobby, 30-
Page 1 of 6
seat conference room and workout area. Total parking at build out is projected at 32 vehicles, either
in garage or surface parking.
To meet the objective of reducing the scope and cost of the Police Department, other police stations
were surveyed in mountain communities and the Breckenridge Police Station was found to be the
most comparable having a current staff of 29. The Breckenridge station was constructed in 1996 and
is 11,240 square feet. All vehicle parking is outdoors, with patrol cars provided canopy outdoor
parking. A review of the Breckenridge space program meets or exceeds all the programmatic needs
identified for a new Avon Police Department.
ERFPD, Town of Avon, Davis Partnership Work Session
st
A work session was held on December 1 to review the changes described above for the design of
the facility. The work group decided:
1.Davis Partnership, architect, and Evans Chaffee, General Contractor, should develop
respective prices to update the schematic design based upon the proposed Fire District
changes and Town’s direction to construct a Police Station of not more than 11,300 square
feet.
2.The cost per square foot for the Town’s 11,300 square feet of building will not exceed
$350/square foot including contingencies.
3.Davis Partnership will develop a new schedule to meet a July 1, 2016, ground break, as
follows:
a.If the Town and ERFPD approve the additional cost for schematic design changes,
the redesign will be completed by December 22, 2015, and address whether the
proposed changes can fit on the land and meet the needs of both parties.
b.A go-no-go decision will be made at that time for a full revision of the schematic
th
design to be completed by January 25, and submitted to the contractor for pricing.
c.The contractor requires three weeks to price the schematic design and is expected
th
to be completed by February 15, 2016.
d.The pricing will be presented to Town Council for action not later than March 4,
2016, should Council wish to pursue a May 3, 2016, ballot question.
th
4.The Town and ERFPD understood that being ready for the March 4ballot question
deadline, will result in the full schematic redesign and pricing to be the best estimate of
costs for ballot questions. The group understood, however, that Evans Chaffee’s level of
pricing is much closer to development design pricing, and therefore, will be a reliable cost
not to exceed.
Updated Police Department Building Design Fees, Building Cost Estimate and Land Purchase Price
Building Design Fees: In response to the fee update request, Davis Partnership has provided a total
revised fee of $91,054 for the Schematic Plan Redesign. The existing Town share is governed by the
Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Cost Sharing for Programming, Design and Pre-Construction
Management of a Joint Fire-Police Station Facility between the Town of Avon and the Eagle River Fire
Protection District dated June 9, 2015.
Applying the formula in the MOU, total fees for the Town of Avon are now estimated to be:
Page 2
Schematic Plan Redesign $ 59, 455
Plus Original Fees 290,435
Total Fees $349,890
It must be noted the MOU states the apportionment amounts are subject to change, “…when the
actual designs for the Joint Public Safety Facility indicate a different square footage and different
ratio of shared space, police department and fire department space”. Staff does believe the fees
will change – and, most likely be somewhat higher. That number will not be known until after the
Schematic Plan Redesign is completed.
At Tuesday’s meeting, to move forward, Council will need to approve $59,455 in new fees for the
Schematic Plan Redesign.
In addition to Davis Partnership’s redesign fee, Evans Chaffee provided an additional fee for pricing
the Schematic Plan Redesign totaling $8,500, Town share $4,250. These monies would be needed
after the Schematic Plan Redesign is completed.
st
Building and Parking Cost Estimate: At the December 1 Work Session, the architect and contractor
gave a preliminary and initial indication that the maximum square feet needed for the Police
Department of 11,300 can be achieved and, without reservation, that $350/square foot is a reliable
top estimate for construction cost. Police Chief Bob Ticer has asked if surface parking is best option
to control costs, that covered canopy parking and secure fencing be provided for Police Department
vehicles. In terms of staying within the 11,300 maximum square foot limit, the Chief Ticer will be
working closely with the architect to meet that objective.
With further thought after the work session. Town Engineer recommended that the Town use a cost
per square foot of $315, with a 10% contingency. This approach provides $40,000 in less funding, but
allows the Town a better approach to design development.
Surface parking costs are estimated based upon the original Schematic Design estimates.
Land Purchase Price: It is anticipated that, based upon the methodology to reach an agreed land
price of $852,000, with schematic design changes, the Town’s cost of land will be less. This,
nd
however, cannot be calculated until the December 22 schematic update is completed. For now, the
estimated price remains at $852,000.
Based upon those parameters, the updated budget for the Police Department at Buck Creek is as
follows:

Updated Financing Options
As shown in the table above, design fees are being funded currently from revenues in the Capital
Projects Fund. Staff recommends these fees remain cash funded rather than being rolled into the
debt issue needed for the balance of the project costs. (Funds needed beyond the current budget of
$320,000, should first be considered from the contingency, then as a subsequent appropriation, if
needed). As a result, funding in the amount of $5,186,516 will be needed for the project.
Two options for financing a bond issue are:
Real Estate Transfer Taxes – The Capital Projects Fund has shown its ability to finance debt
up to $450,000 per year. The use of RETT, therefore, does not require a tax increase. The
Council may or may not seek voter approval. Voter approval may be placed before the voters
at any time.
Page 4
Property Taxes – Either as a General Obligation debt issue or future exchange of RETT for
property taxes, voter approval is needed and can only be presented at a November election.
Annual Debt Service for the two options, with a range of terms, is as follows. The shaded cells
indicate debt service which meets a maximum $450,000 annual payment, which can be supported by
RETT.

TOWN COUNCIL COVER REPORT
To: Mayor and Town Council
From: Willey Gray, Chief Building Official
Matt Pielsticker, Planning Director
Date: November 30, 2015
Agenda Topic: Second Reading and Public Hearing of Ordinance 15-09
Adopting the 2015 International Building Codes including the Wildland Urban Interface
Code, and Implementing an Exterior Energy Offset Program
Summary
The attached Ordinance 15-09 adopts the 2015 International Building Codes(2015), including the
Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Code for fire preparedness. Additionally, an amendment to Title
15: Building Code, Avon Municipal Code, is included to implement a new Exterior Energy Offset
Program(EEOP) to balance the high energy use demands of additional snowmelt systems, hot
tubs, and pools in Town. This report is intended to provide Council with a summary of what is
involved, what stays the same, what changes to expect, and staff’s proposed adoptions and
exclusionsto the codes.
th
First Reading
October 27
First reading of Ordinance 15-09 took place at the October 27, 2015 meeting, where direction
was provided to delay second reading until December 8, 2015 and perform additional outreach
to the building community. Staff targeted residential and commercial contractors who have
worked or are currently working in Town including RA Nelson, Evans Chaffee, and others. There
were few concerns with the new code adoption, however, there was general consensus that
continuous insulation (ci) requirements could add approximately 7% to framing costs, and the
payback for this modified insulation assembly could take several years to payback the upfront
costs.
Since this requirement is not a fire and life safety issue, Staff is proposing to leave the
construction detail for continuous insulation as anoptionto residential contractors. Both The
Town of Eagle and Vail have provided the same exceptionin their code adoptions. This is the
only change to Ordinance 15-09 since first ready; please refer to Section 3.D. of the Ordinance in
red text for added language.
International Building Code
The International Building Codes (IBC) are revised every three years. The Town of Avon adopts
the most current edition of the International Building Codes every six (6) years. Currently, the
Town of Avon utilizes the 2009 edition. A large portion of the IBCdeals with fire prevention. It
differs from the related International Fire Code in that the IBC addresses fire prevention in regard
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 1
to construction and design;the fire code addresses fire prevention with respect to the operation
of completed and occupied buildings. For example, the building code sets criteria for the
number, size and location of exits in the design of a building while the fire code requires the exits
of a completed and occupied building to be open and not blocked in any way. The building code
also deals with access for the disabled and structural stability. The IBC applies to all structures in
areas where it is adopted, except for one and two family dwellings (see International Residential
Code).
Parts of the IBC reference other codes including the International Plumbing Code, the
International Mechanical Code, the National Electric Code, and various National Fire Protection
Association standards. Therefore, when the Town of Avon adopts the 2015 IBC, it also adopts
those parts of other codes referenced by the IBC. New to Avon for 2015 is the WUI code that will
implement fire mitigation strategies for new construction.
Codes
The 2015 Building Codes includes the following components:
Building Code
Fire Code
Fuel Gas Code
Mechanical Code
Plumbing Code
Existing Building Code (new to Avon)
Energy Code
Residential Code
Wildland-Urban Interface Code (new to Avon)
Latest edition of the International Electrical Code (IEC)
Why does the Town update the IBC every six (6) years?
To ensure the public’s safety
To keep current with recent studies, industry standards, new technologies and materials
To maintain reasonable insurance rates in the vicinity
Adopting the new code updates every three (3) years would provide unnecessary burden
on the Town’s limited staff resources. Many of the code changes will be refined in each
edition and, any major changes that occur in an edition that is not in the code cycle are
adopted by ordinance without having to adopt that entire edition thus keeping up with
major changes without having to go through a re-write of the Town Code.
Committee Analysis of the 2015 IBC
The Town’s Building Official has participated in joint meetings with builders, Architects,
engineers, building inspectors, and building officials. The meetings were held to go over the
changes within the IBC and any proposed changes that may be added or changed for local
jurisdictions. It is necessary to reach out to the build community in the process of code adoption
to bring as many interested parties to the table to better inform them as to what is coming their
way in any new code edition. In conversations with Martin Haeberle, Building Official for the
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 2
Town of Vail, the committee came to the conclusion that a joint effort to conduct meetings and
bring stake holders to the table would be the best way to proceed. The adoption of the 2015 IBC
marks the first time that all local jurisdictions are aligned and on the same edition of the building
code. In the past, each town and Eagle County tended to be on a different cycle of building code
adoption, which created confusion among the building contractors in the valley. Minturn may
be the only local jurisdiction not prepared for this new edition of the IBC.
Meetings were held starting in the last half of 2014 to covereach of the different codes and the
changes/amendments to consider locally. Some of the local amendments would be things that
are unique to a specific area such as snow loads, wind, seismic and flooding requirements.
Meetings were held in Vail and Avon with invitations to all other jurisdictions with the hope that
the 2015 codes could be adopted either mid 2015 or not later than the first of the 2016. At
present, both Vail and Avon are on track to adopt in 2015; Eagle County may be in early 2016,
and Eagle not far behind.
Other Municipalities Adopting the 2015 IBC
Town of Estes Park – expected by end of the year
Town of Vail – recently approved, effective 1/1/16
Eagle County – expected early 2016
Town of Eagle – expected in 2016
Changes and Proposed exceptions toIBC
: Every community has a growing number of older buildings that
1.NEW, Existing Buildings
were built to the most current code when they were built. These buildings may not meet
the newer codes and yet are still viable and have many more years of service. It was
determined by the code council that there must be a way to deal with the additions,
alterations and change in occupancy of these buildings. The Building Code contained
Chapter 34, which dealt with existing buildings, however, it was determined that the
growing number of existing buildings represented a larger amount of the permits issued
and there needed to be a more unified way to address these structures in a standalone
code.
There are several ways to look at existing buildings and bring them into compliance. The
first way is a prescriptive method which looks at structural design and materials, making
sure the building are structurally safe and can continue to be of service. Along with the
structural elements, the Fire Code is used to bring life safety elements into compliance to
further make these buildings compliant. The second way is a performance method which
uses Chapter 14 in the existing building code, whereby the building information is put into
formulas and a final score is given to the building based on Fire Safety, Means of Egress,
and General Safety. A lower score would prompt upgrades in any or all of these
categories. All elements of the code are applied with respect to not only life safety items
but energy, mechanical, and ADA requirements.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt as drafted.
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 3
: Added in 2012, outside of the
2.NEW, Residential Efficiency and Continuous Insulation
Town’s adoption cycle, there are changes to Chapter 11 (Energy Efficiency) in the
Residential Code. Specifically, Table R402.1.2., requires a continuous insulation barrier
while maintaining the same R value for the cavity requirements. Although the insulation,
or R values, for cavity insulation did not go up, a continuous insulation barrier is now
required. This was optional in the 2009 code as stated with “or” language. In the 2012
edition of the IBC the continuous insulation was required but only 5 or 10 R value
depending on the cavity value. The 2015 code now requires the standard R 20 for cavity
insulation plus an R 5 of continuous insulation either on the inside or exterior of the
building.
Continuous insulation (ci) is the only way to block thermal bridging. Wrapping the
exterior wall in a continuous layer of rigid foam or other products protectsthe cavity and
the stud, thereby providing a higherR-value in several ways:
Continuous insulation minimizes the temperature differential
between the cavity and the stud, reducing heat loss and
increasing the effective R-value of the wall system
With continuous insulation, the dew point moves from inside
the cavity to the exterior wall, preventing mold and mildew
accumulation inside the wall
When combined with a drainage plane and moisture barrier,
continuous insulation provides better protection against water
intrusion, reduces material degradation and extends the service
life of the home or building
Cavity insulation(or batt insulation) limits thermal protection to the wall cavity and
creates a thermal bridge (thermal shorts) for heattransfer through framing studs.
Exterior walls with their inherent thermal bridging from the wood framing contribute to
1
17% of the total heat loss of the house
This thermal bridging encourages condensation and moisture build-up between gypsum
or conventional wood sheathing and batt insulation. Condensation compromises the wall
assembly by:
Reducing the R-value of cavity batts
Encouraging mold and mildew
Shortening the service life of the wall assembly
Continuous insulation (ci) offers excellent performance.

Simulation of the Required Heating Loads” - Ohio State University Department of Mechanical Engineering Environmental Control
Group
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 4
Higher R-value: Building experts consider continuous insulation a best practice.
Using closed-cell foam insulation provides a very high level of rated R-value per
inch and the highest level of effective R-value per inch.
Thinner wall profile: With roughly twice as much R-value per inch as traditional
batt, closed-cell foam insulation maximizes thermal performance while minimizing
wall thickness. Continuous insulation is now a prescriptive ASHRAE 90.1-2007
standard for above-grade, steel-frame commercial buildings in six out of eight U.S.
climate zones (including Avon). In residential construction, continuous insulation is
a very cost-effective option in climate zones where R-20 or R-13+R-5 is mandated
under the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
Less waste: Products such as high-performance foam insulation provide durability,
moisture resistance, and the highest available R-values per inch – three qualities
that help buildings last longer and send less waste to landfills.
Staff Recommendation: Provide the option in 2015 code adoption with continuous or
traditional insulation design.
3.EXISTING CODE BUT NEVER ADOPTED,Sprinklers for new Residential (R3)–In the 2006
Residential Code a provision was put into the code that required new single-family,
duplex, triplex, and fourplex residential buildings to be fire sprinkled. These fire sprinkler
systems were new to the code and did not need to be either 13 R or 13 D design (the
common approved designs for fire sprinkler systems);they instead,were a newer hybrid
design that usesthe building’s water distribution system to supply the fire sprinklers.
These systems are not designed to protect the structure, but only to give more time to
get out of the building.
There was great concern by the Fire representatives at the code hearings that lives could
be saved with the addition of residential fire sprinkler systems and it was therefore voted
into the code. Not all jurisdictions believed that there was a large loss of life in residential
fires and the newer systems were simply an added cost that resulted in no measurable
increase in safety. In 2009, the Town of Avon deleted this section in the Residential Code
and fire sprinkler systems are not currently required for 1-4 unit residential buildings. It
should be noted that subdivisions such as Mountain Star that have a longer response time
for the fire district are required by subdivision agreements to have fire sprinklers in their
homes. Multifamily apartments and similar buildings are still required by the Building
Code to have fire sprinklers.
Staff Recommendation: Continue this code exception with the 2015 code adoption.
4.EXISTING CODE BUT NEVER ADOPTED,Wildfire Urban Interface Code
Adopting the WUI code is the first step in addressing the fire danger to homes and brings
the Town into alignment with Eagle County and other mountain jurisdictions. Thiscode
has been available since 2012 but not adopted in Avon.The WUI Code sets the minimum
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 5
requirements for mitigation of fire in the wildland-urban interface and is set to be
adopted with this Ordinance. This code is designed to bridge the gap between
enforcement of the building codes and the fire code by mitigating the hazard of wildfires
through regulations, which safeguard the public health and safety in the community.
Requirements within this code include design and installation requirements for exterior
elements of homes such as walls, doors, roofs and eaves; it also extends to other
elements such as vegetation and clearance around structures.
The WUI code requires the Town to set the “Interface Area” where the regulations will
apply. Staff has concluded that the applicable areas that meet the required findings
include: Wildridge, Mt. Star, area South of Hwy 6 including Assent and Folson properties,
and upper Village at Avon residential.
For the purpose of this code, minimum requirements for emergency vehicle access and
water supply for buildings and structures located within the WUI area will be established.
Of note, most of the existing buildings in Mt. Star meet these requirements because fire
hydrants and residential sprinklers are in place.
Items that are considered in the building of new homes are:
Roofing
Exterior Walls/Siding
Glazing, doors
Vents
Under floor enclosures
Landscaping
These requirements can generally be met with fire retardant wood products, heavy
timber or other ignition resistant construction. Landscaping requirements for creating
defensible space will be triggered and cross-referenced with the Development Code.
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 6
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the WUI code as drafted and defined herein.
NEW ENERGY PROGRAM, NOT IBC, Exterior Energy Offset Program
4.
The concept for an Exterior Energy Offset Program (EEOP) was recently proposed by
Walking Mountains Science School to members of Town staff and Councilor Smith-Hymes
as a way to balance the high energy output systems with energy improvements
elsewhere in Town. The collective group felt that the program had merit and should be
pursued in Avon. The EEOP is a model that can be applied valley-wide and is intended to
offset the energy produced by snowmelt systems and heated pools/spas which tend to
consume proportionately large amounts of energy.
If a property owner decided to install these types of outdoor improvements (and could
not offset at least 50% of the power consumption needs of these outdoor improvements
with alternative energy sources) a fee would be applied and collected at the time of
building permit. Fees are are based on square footage of the system. For example, the
Wyndham project includes a heated plaza entry and garage ramp totaling 9,454 square
feet. The applicable fee would have been calculated as follows: 9,454–200=9,254 x
$16/per sq. ft.= $148,064. The initial design drawings for the joint public safety facility
included 11,772 sq. ft. of snowmelt, thereby requiring a $185,152 fee if on-site power
generation (i.e. geothermal) equal to 50% of the energy needs of the snowmelt area
could not be met on-site.
Wyndham
Fees would then be collected by the Town and could be diverted to the Walking
Mountains Energy Smart Program to save energy on other properties through education,
energy audits, incentives, and “quick fix” items installed by Walking Mountains trained
staff or local contractors. While there would be flexibility with how the funds could be
utilized, Walking Mountains has proposed the following allocation:
Ordinance 15-09 International Building Codes Page | 7
Residential Energy Assessments = 25% (paid to local contractors)
Residential Quick Fix Materials = 5% (installed during assessments: LED bulbs,
weather stripping, water heater blankets, programmable thermostats etc.)
Residential Rebates = 25% ($500 annual max is current amount: solar, energy
efficiency, radon mitigation)
Commercial Rebates = 20% ($1200 annual max is current amount)
Energy Coaching/Education/Outreach/Marketing = 20% (Energy Smart staff time,
seasonal marketing campaigns/ads/Avon specific materials)
Avon Town Staff Admin = 5% with a maximum not to exceed
These priorities could be adjusted based on the needs of the community. For example,
the Town Council could determine that solar energy systems should receive a higher
priority, or low-income housing improvements.As drafted, low-income and affordable
housing incentives are already prioritized.
Staff Recommendation
Approve Ordinance 15-09 on Second Reading, thereby adopting the 2015 IBC and Exterior Energy
Offset Program.
Proposed Motion
“I move to approve Ordinance 15-09 on Second Reading, approving the adoption of the 2015
International Building Codes, including the Wildland Urban Interface Code; and approving an
Exterior Energy Offset Program for the Town of Avon.”

in our climate. Fees are exempted if renewable energy system(s) are installed on-site prior to
completion of the amenity which generate the equivalent of 50% of the energy needed for the
exterior energy use. Any partial renewable offsets and/or energy efficiency rebates earned may be
credited accordingly. System design, calculations, and field inspection are required and must be
verified by the Building Official.
(b)The following EEOP fees shall apply at the time of Building Permit:
(1)Snowmelt over 200 square feet:$16 per square foot
(2)Spa/hot tub over 64 square feet:$176 per square foot
(3)Exterior pool:$136 per square foot
For example, if 500 square feet of snowmelt was proposed on a residential property, where
200 is exempt, 300 x $16 per square foot = $4,800.
(c)EEOP Fund Created

Re: Red House - Vested Rights Extension
Dear Town Council:
The owner of this property would like to request that the second reading of the ordinance
approving an extension of vested rights be continued until the Town Council meeting scheduled for
January 12, 2016.
The owner has discovered, and staff has verified, that Lot 2 of the Riverside Subdivision is NOT
zoned open space as previously represented but is in fact zoned for development within the
Riverside PUD approved in 1989. The Riverside PUD contains three parcels of land. Lot 1 (2.5
acres) is developed with Phase 3 of the Eaglebend Apartments, Tract A (6.4 acres) is designated as
open space, and Lot 2 (0.3711 acres) is designated as a development parcel allowing 8 condominium
units.
At the hearing on November 17, the Town Council asked that the owner and the Town staff draft
an agreement to allow an access easement across Lot 2. It has also been suggested to us that the
owner fund the construction of a path on Lot 2 in addition to the grant of this easement in
exchange for nothing more than a grant of more time to develop the project.
Because these requests have come to us recently and given the need to analyze the impacts of the
request on the rights inherent in the property, the owner would like more time to evaluate the
property.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with the Town on this issue and hope to have some
resolution before January 12, 2016.
Sincerely,
Dominic F. Mauriello, AICP

TO: Honorable Mayor Fancher and Town Council members
FROM: Eric J. Heil, Town Attorney
RE: Ordinance No. 15-14 Qualifications of Council member and Planning and Zoning
Commission members
DATE: December 3, 2015
Summary: Ordinance No. 15-14 is presented to Council for second and final reading. Council passed
Ord. No. 15-14 on first reading on November 17, 2015. Ord. 15-14 enacts qualifications for Council
members and Planning and Zoning Commission members to not permit employment relationships. This
ordinance is a follow-up and supplement to Ordinance No. 15-05 which amended the Town Code of Ethics
this summer. Council previously provided direction to have an ordinance prepared which would prohibit
Council members and Planning and Zoning Commission members from serving on Council and the
Planning and Zoning Commission when an employment relationship exists.
The ordinance would enact a new Chapter 2.34 in the Avon Municipal Code. The authority, reasoning and
definition of disqualification for employment relationships are set forth in the ordinance and are not
repeated in this memorandum.
Employment relationship is defined as the traditional employer and employee relationship as well as direct
supervisor and subordinate. This would not include Officials who are employees in the same organization
but do not have a direct supervisor and subordinate relationship. I have also included language to address
agents, consultants and contractors who are not ÅemployeesÆ as defined for federal tax purposes but do
have an economic relationship where one person compensates and directs another person. I am
suggesting a 10% total compensation formula so as not to include non-substantive business relationships.
For example, one member of Council hires another Council member who is a painting contractor for a
painting job à this should not result in both Council members to be disqualified. However, if one Council
member owns a painting company and hires another Council member as an Åindependent contractorÆ for
significant work (defined as exceeding 10% gross revenues) and to avoid the ÅemployeeÆ status, then such
relationship would meet the employment relationship test.
I have found no examples in Colorado or nationally of qualifications that prohibit employment relationships,
so I am not able to offer additional information on how such qualifications have worked in other
communities.
Council is required to conduct a public hearing on second reading per thehome rule charter.
Proposed Motion: ÅI move to approve Ordinance No. 15-14 An Ordinance Enacting Chapter 2.34
Qualifications of Council Members and Planning and Zoning Commission Members of the Avon
Municipal Code on second and final reading.Æ
Thank you, Eric

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT

From: Director of Festivals & Special Events Danita Dempsey
Town Manager Virginia Egger
Date: December 3, 2015
Agenda Topic: Request for Funding – Creative Writing Event – Labor Day Weekend 2016
Harry A. Nottingham Park & Performance Pavilion
BACKGROUND:
To further the Town of Avon’s economic development strategy, which calls for the Town to seed events with a goal
of developing signature events for the Town, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was issued to producers and
promoters covering music, dance, theatre, art and writer’s conference, for activation at Avon’s prominent venue –
the Harry A. Nottingham Park & Performance Pavilion.
PROPOSAL FOR USE OF THE AVON PERFORMANCE PAVILION & NOTTINGHAM PARK MAIN ATHLETIC FIELD:
Mr. Don Donahue, owner of Donahue Entertainment LLC, a multifaceted music and event production company has
responded to the RFQ with a proposal to produce the Avon Creative Writing Event, which will feature a broad scope
of writing to include fiction, poetry, songwriting, screenwriting and storytelling. The event includes teaching
seminars, evening concerts and readings.

Request for Funding – Creative Writing Event

PRODUCER QUALIFICATIONS:
Mr. Donahue is a 25-year veteran of the music and destination event production industry. His achievements and creative
approach to high-end destination events has earned him awards and the respect of his peers and artists across the globe.
Mr. Donahue’s alliances and partners include AEG, Ticketmaster, NARAS (Grammys), BE Entertainment, Amy Grant and
Live Nation to mention a few. He has developed and implemented events ranging in size from 100,000 (Taste of Addison,
TX) to the Ritz Carlton Exceptional Experience weekends for 500 and Lauderdale Live for 4,000.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT:
Donahue Entertainment is asking for $75,000 in direct financial support in its first year. To conduct a return on investment
analysis over three years, an ROI Assumptions Demonstration is provided in the attached Exhibit B. The resulting net
unrecovered investment demonstrate that an event of this type and intimate scale can take more than three years before
the Town begins to recover an investment.
Seed funds year one = $75,000 Net Recovered/Unrecovered Investment = ($60,217)
Seed funds year two = $60,000 Net Recovered/Unrecovered Investment = ($32,029)
Seed funds year three = $50,000 Net Recovered/Unrecovered Investment = ($5,736)
The proposal also asks for an in-kind commitment for banner installation/removal, delivery/removal of event assets
and staff assistance of up to $5,000 in year one.These expenses are covered through ticket fee revenue or in the
internal budgets of the department.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Special events are integral and a key component in a resort community economy of which a mix and variety brings
interest, culture, liveliness, creates a sense of place and community for residents. The Town has experienced
success with seeding music, in particular, with WinterWonderGrass, Avon Live! and, the special one-time production
of Après Avon. Recently, Council also funded the CoverStock Music Festival. The proposed Creative Writing Event
provides the opportunity to further shape a diversity of cultural offerings, with the addition of a literary weekend.
The Creative Writing Event program delivers a diverse array of writings, seminars/teachings, author one-on-one,
intimate musician interaction, and concerts. The event provides the community an opportunity to participate in an
exchange of ideas, literary learning sessions and conversations, which can enrich, challenge and inspire. The
natural beauty and surroundings in Avon will provide the perfect background for a literary event, which are most
often offered through universities or urban settings. In addition, seeding an event on Labor Day Weekend is highly
valued.
The need to secure desirable “anchor talent” that will attract a paying audience is a high risk and competitive
venture. Donahue Entertainment has the experience, passion and financial resources to, in part, take on this level
risk. Creating the level of cultural experience and return on investment to which Avon aspires, with a niche field of
attendees, will require producer expertise, resourcefulness and patience. It is important to note that the three-year
model of seeding the Town has been using as a “base model”, most likely will not be met. A longer horizon, with
falling financial support should be expected.
The proposed list of anchor talent is impressive of which the final selection will be the foundation of the event and
largely determine the overall success. The Town Manager will work closely with the producer throughout the
talent selection process to assure the highest quality of content. Furthermore, the final installment of financial
support will be released upon mutual approval of talent.
Staff believes the Creative Writing Event meets the Town’s desire to seed and support a concept that will provide
literary stimulation for the community, bring notoriety, enhance the cultural fabric and add diversity to the festival
and event line up. We find that the producer has the business capability, forward and creative thinking, industry
connections and partnerships as well as background and passion to initiate and grow the event.
Request for Funding – Creative Writing Event
2
The in-kind services contribution of $5,000 is commensurate with the size of the expected attendance and type of
production. The request of $75,000 for talent acquisition in the first year, and forecasted unrecovered investment
of $60,217 is felt to be realistic for launching the event requiring thoughtful consideration to the long-term
investment to build a signature event.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
If Council concurs, the recommended motion would be:
I move to approve funding up to $75,000 for talent acquisition to Donahue Entertainment, LLC, producer of the
event. Funding is will be from the 2016 General Fund Special Events Assigned Fund Balance. In addition, I move to
approve up to $5,000 of in-kind services.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Town Council
From: Robert L. Ticer, Chief of Police
th
, 2015
Date: December 8
Agenda Topic: Intergovernmental Agreement for Eagle County Animal Control Services (Renewal)
Summary:
The Avon Police Department is recommending approval of the attached IGA to allow Eagle County Animal
Control Services to continue to serve the Town of Avon.
Previous Council Action:
The Avon Town Council previously approved an IGA with Animal Control Services for Calendar Year 2015.
This renewal IGA is for Calendar Year 2016, and has no substantive changes from the current and existing
contract.
Background:
The Avon Police Department does not employ an Animal Control Officer or maintain facilities to manage the
intake or safekeeping of domestic animals. This IGA will continue to allow Eagle County Animal Control
Services to serve the Town of Avon and provide the following:
Twenty-four hours per day emergency on call service.
Animal shelter service.
Investigation and reporting of animal bite incidents.
Enforcement of the leash law by citing violators into the Municipal Court.
Response to calls from the Police Department or from citizens.
The following activity has been recorded by the Eagle County Animal Control in the Town limits of Avon:
2014 2015 through October
8 Bites to persons
12 Bites to persons
8 Field Enforcements
11 Field Enforcements (total animal related
5 Seizures, (owners in custody)
calls for service)
37 Strays or At-large cases
3 Seizures, (owners in custody)
10 Animal Surrenders
50 Stray or At-large cases
1 Cruelty/Neglect investigation
21 Animal Surrenders
5 Cruelty/Neglect Investigation
Discussion:
Eagle County Animal Control Services will respond to calls; however, they do not provide routine patrol in
Avon. Due to budget savings plans in 2011, the Avon Police Department eliminated the Police Service Officer
(PSO) position. A portion of the PSO duties included enforcement of the leash law ordinance. Due to the
staffing reduction, pro-active patrol for animal ordinance violations is conducted by Avon Police Officers.
This Agreement is effective January 1, 2016, and shall end on the 31st day of December 2016. The Agreement
shall run yearly from January 1, to December 31, each year, with a review by each party in August of that
year. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with or without cause at any time by
giving the other party thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination.
Obligations of the Town and the County, respectively, after the current fiscal year, are contingent upon
funds for the purpose set forth in this Agreement being appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made
available.
The contract is $800.00 per month under this IGA, which has been budgeted for in the 2016 Police
Department Budget. Additionally, the County shall bill the Town for On-Call Emergency Services at the rate
of $50.00 per hour in the case of a call-out after hours.
If the IGA is not approved, the Avon Police Department will be required to provide animal control service to
the community, which may reduce patrol coverage and law enforcement response times to active law
enforcement incidents.
Staff Recommendation:
It is recommended that the attached IGA with Eagle County for Animal Control Services be approved.
Recommended Motion:
“I move to approve the Intergovernmental Agreement between the County Of Eagle, State Of Colorado
and the Town of Avon, as presented.”

Tri-AnnualReporting of Crime and Traffic Statistics:
The Avon Police Department is committed to reducing crime and improving traffic/community safety through community
partnerships, education, and by enforcement of laws. The Department has been capturing known data since 1997, which is available
for analysis and is used for strategic planning. Additionally, the data is used to identify when and where crimes and crashes are
occurring and to efficiently and effectively deploy officersto further deter/reduce crime and improve traffic safety. Some crime is
random, but utilizing data and identifying areas of concern allow the most efficient use of personnel to improve community safety.
This document contains year-to-year historical crime reporting and traffic data, which highlights highs and lows in activity. There are
many variablesthat contribute to crime and traffic crashes: such as weather, staffing, philosophy, prioritization, special events,
population, economy, etc. Secondly, this memorandum contains current 2015 January-Septembercrime/traffic dataas compared to
January-Septemberof 2013 and 2014. Lastly, additional programs and community projects that the Police Department is working on
is documented.
Year-to-Year Crime/Traffic Reporting
The Police Department captures a wide variety of data and statistics for a variety of reasons. First, crime data is sent to the FBI for
documentationin the Uniformed Crime Report (UCR). The FBI uses this information to produce a crime index for each community
that voluntarily submits crime information. The latest index available is from 2013and lists the Avon UCR Index at99.1, which is
lessthan a thirdof the national average of 294.7.The 2013 UCR in Avon is the second lowest in the town over the last 13 years (2010
had an index of 81.8). This is an excellent indicator of low crime rates in the Town of Avon. Between 2009 and through the current
data available, Avon has had the lowest UCR indexes dating back to 2001. Additionally, the Police Department compares statistical
data against the Annual Benchmark Cities Survey, which is anearly two decade long comparative police performance analytics.
Twenty-nine(29)law enforcement agencies from throughout the country participatein this survey including Boulder, Ft. Collins, and
Lakewood, Colorado. The latest available annual data for this national survey is 2014.http://www.opkansas.org/maps-and-
stats/benchmark-cities-survey/
The yellow and red highlights in the table below indicate high and low ranges of the historical period. The larceny category includes
shoplifting cases and has shifted year-to-year depending upon staffing of safety and loss departments at local retailers. Reporting
procedures changed in 2004,therefore,data for total reports and calls for service are most accurate for comparison purposes moving
forward to today’s data.

Crime/Traffic Statisticsand Calls for Service:
During January through Septemberof 2015, Vail Public Safety Communication Center dispatched 3,369calls for service to the Avon
Police Department. In addition to these calls, officers logged 8,178self-initiated calls for service, whichinclude traffic stops, building
checks,foot patrols, extra patrols as requested by community members, community contacts, etc.
The Benchmark Cities Survey shows that the average number of annual calls for service per 1,000 citizens is 457.8. Calls forservice
in Avon have been significantly higher over the last three years at 691 in 2012, 619 in 2013, and 652 in 2014. This indicates that the
Avon Police Department is busier than the average law enforcement agency in response requests, which may be an indicator of public
trust. Community members call when they need assistance, whether emergent or not.
The Police Department, as part of the annual performance matrix, measures response times to calls for service. These times are
documented and calculated through the Vail Public Safety Communications Center. Calls for service are brokeninto four priorities,
which are:
Priority 1:Life or property in immediate threat or just occurred.Unitsrespond immediately, lights and sirens.
Priority 2:Respond promptly, no lights and sirens necessary.
Priority 3:Normal everyday calls for service, needs to be handled in a timely manner.
Priority 4: Calls can be held for a period of time.
The Annual Benchmark Cities Survey indicates thatthe average response time for Priority 1 responses is 5.61minutes for the twenty-
nine (29)agencies surveyed. The survey does not break down Priority 1 or 2 as does the Vail Public Safety Communications Center;
however, the Avon Police Department’s response times for emergency calls (Priority 1 and 2) are significantlyless than the survey
average.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Avon Town Council
From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager
Date: November 30, 2015
Agenda Topic: Nottingham Blacksmith Shop
Summary
Staff continues to evaluate the potential to move and further preserve the Nottingham Blacksmith
Shop log structure, currently located at 2000 Hurd Lane on private land. The property where the
structure is located was sold earlier this year to Cory Phillips, who plans to redevelop the property
in a few years. The building will likely get demolished if it is not relocated. Staff, Council and
citizen representatives recently visited the site to evaluate the structural integrity and potential to
move the structure. The findings and next steps are highlighted below. The relocation of this
structure, if possible, is listed as a Tier 2 priority in the 2016-17 Strategic Plan.
Site Visit
On November 23, 2015, a site visit was conducted to further evaluate the current condition of the
structure and to determine if moving it was feasible. Members of Council (Buz Reynolds, Sarah
Smith-Hymes), Tamra Underwood, Willey Gray, and Matt Pielsticker visited the property and were
granted access to view the interior. The following points summarize our site visit:
The structure is in good shape for its age.
Walls appear to be true and straight.
Slab foundation and a functioning roof have helped to preserve the log siding.
A combination of hand-sewn and logs compose the siding.
What appears to be the original door was found next to the building and brought inside.
Roof is minimally designed (i.e. no truss beam) and would need alterations for safety.
Metal tools were found inside, believed to be constructed by the original forge.
Historic Significance
According to the Nottingham Blacksmith Shop Historical Background and Field Analysis, provided by
Tatanka Historical Associates – dated November 10, 2008, the structure is estimated to be over 100
years old, and acknowledges it has been modified and moved at least twice over the years which
inhibit some of its historical integrity. With that being said, the Analysis recommends preservation
based on its “restorable condition,” rare nature being one of only a few remaining structures from
Avon’s past, Nottingham family history, and interpretive opportunities if a new location can be
identified.
Next Steps
Staff will obtain cost estimates for moving the structure and explore potential sites for relocation.
Findings will be presented to Council in early 2016.

Agenda Topic: Request for Funding – Mountain Star Water Storage Tank
BACKGROUND: The Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority (UERWA) is requesting $56,250 from the Town to
proceed with design work for a water storage tank above the Mountain Star Subdivision (Exhibit A). Previously, the
Town and the Mountain Star developer, Mountain Star LLC, contributed $20,000 each to fund the schematic design
of the water tank. As part of that work, the projected cost of the tank was reduced from $2.5M to $1.5M. The
UERWA is requesting the funds to complete the final design of the tank so the project will be ready for a spring
2016 construction start date. An additional $56,250 is also being requested from Mountain Star LLC.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the funds be appropriated in the 2015 water fund budget
with the following conditions:
All the parties acknowledge that this contribution comes from the Town of Avon Mountain Star
water tap fees dedicated to this project
Mountain Star LLC also contributes $56,250 to the design to acknowledge the partnership that is
required to complete the project

Re: Mountain Star Water Storage Tank Funding Request
Dear Virginia,
Thank you for taking the time to meet earlier this month to discuss the progress onthe Mountain Star
Water Storage Tank(WST)project. I sincerely appreciate the Town of Avon’ssupport of the projectthus
far.As we discussedat the meeting, the Authority’s goalis to be in position to construct the tank in the
summer of 2016.
In order to achieve that goal, the Authority Board of Directors has authorized the use of analternative
delivery method known as Construction Manager/General Contractor At-Risk (CMAR) contracting forthis
project. This delivery method involves a contractor during the design, which will allow the Authority to find
the best value approach to building the tank, particularly with respect to the deep foundation system,
which carries the greatest cost risk to the project.We recently published a solicitation for a Construction
Manager/General Contractorto participate in the design and construction of the project, and received
proposals from sixqualified general contractors. After careful consideration of the responses, our
selection committee has determined thatAslan Construction, Inc. was the most qualified general
contractor for the project based upon their excellent qualifications, references,and experience in WST
construction and alternative delivery methods.The Authority willnegotiatea guaranteed maximum price
(GMP) contract with the general contractor during the design phase, in advance of construction. Thiswill
preclude the project from a formal bidding processafter design documents are completed, which furthers
our goal of constructing the project in 2016.I am anticipating that we will receive a GMPproposal from
the contractor at the end of January, 2016 whichthe Town of Avon and the Mountain Star HOA can use
to finalizefinancing arrangements for theproject.As the design progresses, Iwillwork with the contractor
and design team tocontinue to refine construction costsand will provide regular updatesto the Town and
HOA.I have prepared and attached a proposed project schedule for your information. Based upon an
anticipated start of construction of April 19, 2016, financing for the project should be secured by March
15, 2016 in order to finalize the GMP contract.
The design team hascompleted the 30%designof the tank using the $20,000 in funds contributed from
the Mountain Star Tap Fee fund and the matching contribution of $20,000 from Mountain Star, LLC.I am
anticipating that the construction contract for the tank should not exceed $1,250,000 based on a
conceptual estimate that has been providedby Aslan Construction, and recommend that number be used
for the budget.I have attached Aslan’sconceptual construction estimate for your review. Ialso
recommend that the budgetinclude a 5% contingency to cover any unanticipated fluctuations in material
or labor costs. This brings put the total estimated project costs atapproximately $1,552,190, including all
other anticipated designandconsulting fees.I have also attachedatotal project budget estimate for your
review.
This total represents a significant decreasein costs from the conservative planning level estimates that
had beenpreviously providedto the Town. In light of this informationand our goal to construct the tank in
2016, I am requestingthat the Town make an additionalcommitment of funds from the Mountain Star

water tap feefundso that the Authoritymay complete the design of the tank. Based upon the design
proposals that I have received, I anticipate the needfor additionaldesign fundstotaling$112,520. I
understand that the Town’spreference isto release 50% of this total from the collected Mountain Star tap
fee fund with the pledge of a matching contribution from MountainStar, LLC, thus the requested
contribution from the tap fee fundand Mountain Star, LLCis$56,260each.
Thank you again for your support of the project and for the Town’s assistance in moving this important
project forward. If you have any questionsor need any additional information to provide to yourTown
Council, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Jason Cowles, P.E.
