Vote Yes on 1A: Keep Locals Local Paid for by Vail Valley Partnership, VailValleyPartnership.com Vote “YES” on 1A: Keep locals…local Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) Issue 1A outlines a multi-pronged strategy to the creation of new affordable homes in towns and communities throughout Eagle County. Passage of Issue 1A will help keep locals local by allowing individuals and families in stay in Eagle County through improved access to housing. Q: Why do we need a funding source for affordable workforce housing? A: We have a significant housing problem. We need 4.500 housing units today and will need a total of 12,000 by 2025 to house our workforce. (source: Eagle County Housing Assessment). As housing prices increase far faster than area wages, our resort brands create an international demand for limited housing stock, and high land prices make free-market development of affordable units financially unviable to developers. Q: What is the definition of affordable housing and whom will it serve? A. Housing is considered affordable to a household if it costs no more than 30% of a household's income. Household income is typically shown as a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI). At 100% of AMI, our current affordability gap is $234,310; even at 140% of AMI, our affordability gap is $97,600. As a result, affordable housing will serve a large portion of our working class population. Q: How much will this cost? How much will it raise? A: 1A is asking for approval for a 3/10 sales tax – that’s $0.03 sales tax on every $10 purchase (exempting groceries). It is estimated to raise $5,400,000 per year to help address our housing issues. Q: Who will this benefit? A: We are all touched by Eagle County’s affordable workforce housing crisis. Affordable workforce housing benefits the entire community. Businesses benefit through increased employee retention and recruiting. Employees benefit through more affordable living situations. Individuals benefit through home ownership tax credits. Communities benefit through the creation of year-round residents and the ability to have police, fire fighters, teachers, nurses, and other professionals live closer to work. Q: Why is this a problem now? A: Housing costs threaten our business community. In fact, 69% of business operators indicate that the housing situation negatively impacts their ability to hire and retain employees and this issue is mentioned frequently when asked about additional resources that are needed. (Source: 2016 Eagle County Workforce Study). There is a point at which our Vote Yes on 1A: Keep Locals Local Paid for by Vail Valley Partnership, VailValleyPartnership.com businesses will be unable to expand because they will not be able to fill the jobs needed to grow. There is a cost to not building workforce housing. Q: How will this money be used? A: There’s no silver bullet solution to our housing crisis; as a result, 1A will allow for a variety of uses including new construction of deed restricted housing for owners (i.e., Miller Ranch), deed restricted housing housing for renters, down payment assistance programs, public-private partnerships with developers, unit buy-downs and adding deed restrictions to existing properties, land banking, and more. We need to find any tool we can use to put more units into the long-term housing pool. Q: What are current vacancy rates? A: Apartment vacancy rates are near zero (source: Polar Star Properties) and the affordability gap on free-market homes exceeds $234,000 for a standard family at 100% of the area median income (Eagle County Housing Assessment). Q: How do our current taxes compare to the national average? A: 1A would increase our sales tax by 0.03% (three cents on ten dollars, exempting groceries). Five states do not have statewide sales tax. The lowest non-zero state-level sales tax is in Colorado, at 2.9%. All other states have higher state sales taxes. Combining state and local taxes, Colorado’s average sales tax is 7.5%, ranking 16th in the nation. Eagle County’s average sales tax is lower (and will remain lower with the passage of 1A) than other mountain resort communities including Grand, Gunnison, and Pitkin and is slightly higher than Summit and Route County. Q: Won’t this just increase our cost of living, increasing the cost to live in Eagle County? A: A sales tax of three cents on every ten dollars is estimated to cost the average family approximately $150 per year ($35-50 per person) and exempts grocery sales. Of course, much of our sales tax is collected from visitors and second homeowners. Local wages have increased, but not at the same level as real estate appreciation, leading to increased affordability gap in home prices. 1A creates an opportunity to keep locals local, and create more workforce to fill local jobs. Q: Who is in charge of the funds? A: As a county-wide sales tax, the ultimate authority for use of the funds lies with the elected Board of County Commissioners. This is similar to the Eco-Transit/Eco-Trails and Open Space funding models, both of which utilize a citizen advisory board to provide guidance and feedback to the elected officials. Vote Yes on 1A: Keep Locals Local Paid for by Vail Valley Partnership, VailValleyPartnership.com Q: What are other resort communities doing? A: A lot! Aspen, Boulder, Mountain Village, Summit County, and Telluride all have sales taxes in place for affordable workforce housing. Boulder also has a property tax and development excise. Aspen also has a real estate transfer tax, and numerous counties and cities have additional housing impact fees. Eagle County Housing – Possible Uses of Affordable Housing Tax Funds Why do we need affordable housing? • Eagle County has a significant housing problem. We need 4,466 housing units today and will need a total of 11,960 by 2025 to house our workforce. • 50% of homeowners and 46% of renters pay too much towards their mortgages and rent. • People move out of Eagle County when they reach their early 30’s and don’t stop leaving until their early 60’s. We are losing people in their peak earning years. Many attribute this, in part, to a lack of housing affordable to these employees. Losing employees costs local businesses a lot of money. • Shelter is a basic need. The success of families, children in school, and employees is greatly improved when they have a safe, warm place to call home. What is needed to help reduce the problem? How can we make it happen? New Construction of Deed Restricted Housing for Owners • Increase the availability of deed restricted ownership housing in the community (example of Miller Ranch) • Partner with private and other public entities • Strategic land acquisition – in locations where workforce housing development is appropriate based upon proximity to jobs and transportation as well as community desires • Create incentives for developers to build affordable units New Construction of Deed Restricted Housing for Renters • Increase the availability of deed restricted rental housing in the community (example of Lake Creek Village Apartments) • Long term leases to workforce, seniors, and special needs populations • Partner with private and other public entities • Strategic land acquisition – in locations where workforce housing development is appropriate based upon proximity to jobs and transportation as well as community desires • Create incentives for developers to build affordable units Better Utilize Current Stock of Developed Real Estate • Improve the quality and affordability of housing in Eagle County • Acknowledging that land in Eagle County is limited, acquire and renovate existing properties to be converted into workforce housing • Purchase deed restrictions for existing properties • Unit buy-downs to keep units affordable to employees within the county • Preservation of existing deed restrictions • Short term rental buy-backs Down Payment Assistance Loans • Leverage dollars to make housing purchases and monthly payments more affordable to our workforce • Work with real estate agents and lenders to ensure widespread knowledge and usage of program Education • Home buyer education • Renter and homeowner education • Education of lenders, appraisers, real estate agents and others regarding housing programs • Credit counseling and foreclosure prevention counseling 36% 26% 22% 14% 2% Possible Uses of Housing Tax Funds New Construction of Deed Restricted Housing for Owners New Construction of Deed Restricted Housing for Renters Better Utilize Current Stock of Developed Real Estate Down Payment Assistance Loans Education TOWN COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Jennie Fancher and Town Council From: Virginia C. Egger, Town Manager Meeting Date: October 11, 2016 Agenda Topic: Resolution 16-25, in Support of Open Space, Rivers, Wildlife & Trails – Issue 1B ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL Town Council is being asked to provide support for Ballot Issue 1B, by passing attached Resolution 16-25. One or more soft trail advocates will present the ballot issue and answer questions. RECOMMENDED MOTION “I move to approve Resolution 16-25, A Resolution of the Avon Town Council of Avon, Colorado, in Support of Open Space, Rivers, Wildlife & Trails Ballot Issue 1B.” ATTACHMENTS Resolution No. 16 -25 Yes on 1B PowerPoint Ballot Language for 1B TOWN OF AVON, COLORADO RESOLUTION NO. 16-25 A RESOLUTION OF THE AVON TOWN COUNCIL OF AVON, COLORADO, IN SUPPORT OF OPEN SPACE, RIVERS, WILDLIFE & TRAILS BALLOT ISSUE 1B WHEREAS, during the last 14 years, since the passage of the Open Space program in 2002, the Eagle County Open Space program has protected our natural beauty and scenic vistas. WHEREAS, the Open Space program has retained Eagle County’s rich history, culture, and agricultural uses; preserved critical wildlife habitat; curbed sprawl in the face of extreme development pressure; and has provided access to our public lands, improving opportunities for high-quality dispersed outdoor recreation. WHEREAS, on August 30th, by unanimous vote, the Eagle County Board of Commissioners referred an extension and augmentation of the Eagle County Open Space program to the ballot, known as Issue 1B. WHEREAS, passage of Ballot Issue 1B will continue the Open Space program as described above. WHEREAS, Issue 1B will enable bonding authority to complete the Eagle Valley Trail in approximately seven years instead of the 40 plus years under the current funding mechanism and will dedicate a portion of the mill levy for debt service to pay bond interest without increasing taxes. WHEREAS, open lands, rivers, and wetlands are critical pieces of the environment in Eagle County. The use of open space funds to protect and enhance our water quality, protect wildlife habitat, conserve our open and beautiful views, and enhance recreation opportunities are vital to our quality of life, and keep our recreation and tourism economies strong. WHEREAS, with hundreds of miles of soft trails in Eagle County, on county and federal lands, effective trail stewardship is vital. Issue 1B will dedicate funds toward the sustainable maintenance of our current soft trails and may, in time, be used for the creation of new, environmentally responsible trails, all of which enables residents and visitors alike to partake in all the exceptional outdoor experiences that Eagle County has to offer. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF AVON, COLORADO ADOPTED this 11th day of October, 2016. AVON TOWN COUNCIL By:______________________________ Attest:________________________ Jennie Fancher, Mayor Debbie Hoppe, Town Clerk Presentation to Town of Avon Town Council October 11, 2016 Open-Space Background •2002 Open Space tax approved •1.5 mill property tax •Permanently protects and conserves valuable lands and waters throughout Eagle County •Over 11,000 acres purchased through Open Space program over 14 years •High degree of oversight since implementation Ballot Issue 1B – Open Space, Rivers, & Trails WITHOUT INCREASING TAXES, a YES vote protects the Colorado, Eagle, and Roaring Fork rivers; preserves wildlife habitat and wetlands; conserves our open space and beautiful views; and provides more recreation opportunities. In the face of rapid growth, this measure will continue to protect critical wildlife habitat and wetlands throughout Eagle County so that future generations can enjoy them. We live here because of the opportunities for rafting, biking, hiking, fishing, and other outdoor activities; whether it’s finishing the Eagle Valley Trail, improving soft trails and access points, this measure will increase recreation opportunities, county wide. Land conservation gives private landowners a voluntary way to keep water in rivers like the Eagle, Colorado, and Frying Pan.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Mayor Jennie Fancher and Avon Town Council From: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer Meeting Date: October 11, 2016 Agenda Topic: Notice of Award for the Nottingham Park Restroom Remodel Project ACTION BEFORE COUNCIL Authorize staff to issue the Notice of Award for construction of the Nottingham Park Restroom Remodel Project to Hess Contracting in the amount of $271,689. PROPOSED MOTION I move to authorize issuance of the Notice of Award for the Nottingham Park Restroom Remodel Project contract to Hess Contracting, Inc. in the amount of $271,689. DISCUSSION The Nottingham Park Restroom Remodel Project will update the restrooms that were constructed in 1983 and are due for an update. The project includes replacing the exterior siding and roof, updating the fixtures, adjusting the stalls so that they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, skim coating the CMU block walls and adding a picnic shelter to the west facing the proposed playground. Staff advertised the Nottingham Park Restroom Remodel Project for three weeks beginning on September 01, 2016 and the bid opening occurred on September 22, 2016. Only one bid was received from Hess Contracting in the amount of $271,689. When the project was bid out, the bid package was sent to several contractors that the Town has done business with and they declined to bid on the project because they are booked up for the remainder of the year. The upturn in construction in the valley and the lack of labor is the likely reason for the lack of interest in a relatively small project. Construction will begin right after the Notice of Award and will be completed by the end of the year. BUDGET The Project is funded through the Town of Avon 2016 Capital Projects Fund with a current budget of $260,400 which also includes $30,000 in architectural fees. The project budget will have to be amended in the next budget amendment to $315,000 to cover construction and any potential change orders.
