Due to the existing COVID-19 Public Health Orders and uncertainty of pandemic conditions, availability of a vaccine, and Public Health Orders that may (or may not) be in effect next summer, Staff has prepared two options: Option A which assumes the current Public Health Order conditions and Option B which assumes no Public Health Orders are in effect as we can return to unrestricted public event gatherings. Staff is not requesting Council to select Option A or Option B at this time. Rather, Staff recommends Option B as an appropriate complete calendar of community-based events in a post COVID-19 economy with the acknowledgement that Avon may be limited to the smaller gathering sizes of Option A or some other variation. Staff anticipates under any scenario where Public Health Orders continue; Staff will have to be responsive and nimble to changes in conditions and may need to modify or cancel events as appropriate. MANAGER’S COMMENTS: Option B implements the many ideas and strategies identified by the CASE Committee since early 2019. This includes a diverse and full calendar throughout the summer visitor season with a strong focus on community friendly events. The calendar is strategically arranged to include field rest days between events while providing steady and consistent activation in Nottingham Park for both residents and visitors. The proposed events are intended to keep Avon competitive with the summer season offerings of our peer mountain resort communities. Two new significant events are proposed for 2021 which are intended to be signature events that would frame the summer season, including “Best of the West” in mid-June and the “Heart and Soul Festival” in mid-September. These events are intended to “stake Avon’s claim” to those weekends, develop strong and unique signature identity for Avon, and grow over the course of 3-6 years in a manner similar to Eagle’s Block Party. These two new events along with Salute to the USA and AvonLIVE! may only be permitted if existing Public Health Orders change considerably or terminate. If we can return to a local economy with no business restrictions or gathering restrictions, then the Option B schedule is intended to expedite Avon’s economic recovery. DESCRIPTION OF OPTIONS A & B: Some of the key differences between the Option A and Option B budgets are outlined below and a complete budget comparison is discussed in the Financial Considerations section and attached as Exhibit A 1. Option A Budget a. Assumes that Public Health Order (“PHO”) restrictions will be in place through the summer event season and therefore, large scale events that draw crowds are not planned. And, envisions multiple groups of 175 or more will be allowed. b. The event line up is the same as the 2020 event line up i. No Salute to the USA. ii. Considers AvonLIVE! (11 concerts) and Lakeside Cinema (9 shows) will complete full series. c. Includes contingency funds should new opportunities present themselves. Page 2 of 5 d. Includes temporary and/or permanent art installations. e. Includes one part-time seasonal staff person mid-May through early October for up to 28 hours per week; and, Seating Attendants. Not reflected in number presented in Exhibit A. f. Includes limited revenue projection and net recovery. 2. Option B Budget a. Assumes that there will no longer be PHO restrictions limiting gathering or that the gathering restrictions will allow for multiple groups. b. Envisions a robust event season beginning Memorial Weekend and extending through mid - October consisting mainly of Town produced events. c. Includes contingency funds should new opportunities present themselves. d. Includes funds to support local businesses adding live music and/or sponsorship opportunities e. Includes temporary and/or permanent art installations. f. Includes two full-time season staff mid-May through mid-October up to 40 hours per week; and, part time bar managers and bar tenders. Not reflected in numbers present in Exhibit A. g. Includes optimistic revenue projection and net recovery. BACKGROUND: During the Joint Work Session in January 2020, the CASE Committee supported some additional event concepts believed to fit the Avon community, adopted Avon brand and designed to grow into solid “signature” events uniquely recognized and associated with Avon. As a refresher and update, the events and concepts reviewed are provided below; noting that in 2020 Sunset LIVE! was realized; and, due to the PHO and related restrictions others were not. Additionally, Staff has identified event names replacing the “working title” presented in January 2020. 1. Best of the West Fest: This event concept was proposed in January 2020 as an addition in 2021. a. Concept: Best of the West Fest is intended to support and celebrate up and coming Colorado based bands. A non-ticketed two-day event featuring multiple Colorado based bands on the Pavilion Stage and on a second stage at Possibilities Plaza. The Town would coordinate with local bars to promote and schedule after-hours performances and jams. The Town will establish a process for submissions and band selections process. Bands must feature primarily original works. The event is contemplated to include and accommodate songwriting and musician workshops. The event would include food vendors and kid’s activations. Town would provide alcohol sales. Alma, CO has successfully enjoyed a similar event called “Festival in the Clouds” for over 22 years. b. Dates: Friday and Saturday, June 11th and 12th OR 18th and 19th c. Venue: Avon Performance Pavilion, Possibilities Plaza, and Local Bars for After-Hours d. Time: Friday 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. and Saturday 2:00 to 9:00 p.m. e. Attendance: 2,000 to 3,000 per day f. Budget: $32,571 2. Pose & Paddle Battle (Splash Fest at the Lake was the 2020 working title): a. Concept: In partnership with SUP Colorado, Xterra Mountain Championships and the Xterra SUP brand which would lend credibility to launching a SUP race, increase marketing and Page 3 of 5 promotional reach and potentially support synergies with Beaver Creek Resort Company and the friends/families supporting the Xterra athletes. A fee-based individual and/or team SUP competition, community yoga, kid’s activations, DJ music, food concessions, BYOB, etc. b. Dates: Saturday, July 17th c. Venue: Nottingham Lake, Beach and Terrace d. Time: 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. e. Attendance: 1,000 f. Budget: $12,445 3. Sunset SUP Race (Splash Fest at the Lake was the 2020 working title): Staff was able to research, speak with subject matter experts and witness this year’s USAT Open Water Swim Championship and has determined that hosting a Stand Up Board (“SUP”) competition on the same day as the USAT Open Water Swim Championship was not the best approach. This decision was made due to the anticipated audience for SUP competitions do not compliment the audience for swim competitions and may detract from the swim competition; and, the required amount of set-up time and logistics for a competitive SUP course are difficult while hosting the USAT. Although Staff does believe hosting a SUP competition with some live music on the Terrace on the Friday evening of the USAT Open Water Championship is ideal. a. Concept: In partnership with SUP Colorado, a fee-based individual and/or team SUP competition partnered with live music on the Event Terrace. b. Dates: Saturday, August 6th c. Venue: Nottingham Lake, Beach and Terrace d. Time: 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. e. Attendance: 700 f. Budget: $3,820 4. Summer’s End at the Northshore (SUP-BYOB Party on the Lake was the 2020 working title) a. Concept: Live music on the Terrace (primarily local bands), Cardboard Regatta, ambient and kids’ activities (on and off water), food and beverage concessions, etc. b. Dates: Saturday, September 4th or Sunday, September 5th of Labor Day Week-End c. Venue: Nottingham Lake, Beach and Terrace d. Time: noon to 8:00 p.m. e. Attendance: 2,000 to 3,000 f. Budget: $13,689 5. Heart & Soul Festival (Same working title): This event concept was proposed in January 2020 as an addition in 2021 as either a single day ticketed event. Page 4 of 5 a. Concept: Heart and Soul Festival is presented as a ticketed live music event produced by Town that would include a talent budget for 2-3 nationally recognized acts. This event is contemplated to start as a single day ticketed event with the goal that it would expand to two or three days within five years. The event would include food vendors and Town provided alcohol concessions. Talent budget intended to secure a band with strong national name recognition, second headlining mid-tier band also with national name recognition and additional supporting bands with regional appeal and recognition. The intent is to establish a signature event over 3- 5 years to bookend the event season. The timing and band selection are intended to appeal to the community as well as draw festival goers in the region, front-range college students and visitors who are travelling to view the color changes. Another goal of the Heart & Soul Festival is to demonstrate success and functionality of a ticketed event at Nottingham Park with the hope that this will gain the interest of private event producers for other events. b. Date: Saturday, September 11th, 17th or 25th c. Venue: Avon Performance Pavilion d. Time: 2:00 to 10:00 p.m. e. Attendance: 3,000 – 5,000 f. Budget: $228,810 – see the full budget attached as Exhibit B The Special Events Calendar attached as Exhibit C provides a calendar view of both option A (pg.1) and option B (pg. 2) budget scenarios, proposed Recreation Department programming such as Open Water Swim, Dunk-n-Dash, etc.; and proposed field maintenance days. The legend at the top of the calendar provides a visual key as to the type of event (music, arts, athletic, etc.) and assumes the venue is Nottingham Park and/or Lake unless identified in bright pink which indicates the event takes place on the Mains Street Mall (MSM). Additionally, there are many instances where we have multiple events and/or venues activated at the same time. In which case, there are two or more colors with overlapping triangles of colors. An example of which is June 23rd with AvonLIVE! (music = green), Weekly Art Expo (blue triangle = arts; pink = MSM) and Vail Valley Lacrosse Tournament (orange triangle = athletic). It is important to note that this calendar is for internal scheduling purposes and will not be publicly distributed. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: As detailed on the attached Exhibit A, there is considerable difference in expense and revenue projection between Option A and B. The numbers provided in Exhibit A do not include personnel costs, general operations (cell phones, meeting expense, dues and memberships, etc.) and capital outlay (computers, furniture, etc.) Additionally, both budget options reflect providing cash funding to producers that were granted funding in the 2020 Approved Budget (except for the Beaver Creek Rodeo) should the producers have the desire; ability and the PHO restrictions allow. Staff does not believe there will a need to solicit proposed funding request in the Town’s traditional format. Also, included in both options is a contingency balance of $50,000 should Town Staff be presented with a unique opportunity from a third-party producer and/or identify another Town produced event which is desirable. Option A projected revenues assumes that due to PHO restrictions, we will not offer food and beverage concessions and access to sponsor funding support may be minimal. The net cost of option A is $337,585. Page 5 of 5 Option B projected revenues are nearly 36% of the expense and are optimistic with most of the revenue generated through alcohol sales at approximately 41% of total revenue; and approximately 34% of revenue generated through ticket sales; and, approximately 13% from sponsorship. The remaining 12% in other special event fee’s and/or rentals. The net cost of Option B is $596,240.60, which is $4,714.40 less than the Approved 2020 Budget of $600,955 (not including personnel costs). RECOMMENDATION: Staff believes there is a strong desire in the Avon community for a full and diverse calendar of events which utilize our natural and built resources to engage, entertain and add vibrancy to our community. A well timed, planned and executed strategic line up keeping Avon competitive is critical to our success. The need to begin this work in January of 2021 is real, specifically as it relates to the Option B budget scenario. Since we are budgeting in un-known environment as it relates to the PHO and the live events and entertainment industry, having the funds secured and adopted through the proper budget process to plan and execute option B accordingly, would remove the need to request additional funding and approval from Council and not slow the timeline. Furthermore, should the PHO restrictions continue the Town would realize any savings with event cancellations. Staff recommends approval of the Option B budget. REQUESTED DIRECTION: Council may provide direction to proceed with Option A, Option B, or other variation as deemed appropriate.

Thank you! ddempsey@avon.org 970.748.4045 jhildreth@avon.org 970.748.4055 swright@avon.org TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council FROM: Town Engineer Justin Hildreth and Finance Director Scott Wright RE: Capital Improvements Projects DATE: October 1, 2020 SUMMARY: This is the second of two work sessions to review the long-range Capital Improvements Projects Plan (“CIP Plan”). The first work session occurred on September 8, 2020. This report describes the available revenues, CIP Plan policies, proposed projects and options for Council. The draft CIP Plan for this work session shows only projects for 2021 and 2022. The focus of the presentation will be on items either not discussed previously or items for which Council requested additional information. REQUESTED COUNCIL DIRECTION: This is the second work session on updating the Town’s five-year CIP Plan. Council direction, or confirmation, is requested for three proposed project areas in Nottingham Park, including West Nottingham Park Improvements, North Nottingham Park Beach, Parking and Restroom Improvements, and East Nottingham Park Restroom Improvements. Staff presentation will focus on these three project areas. Staff will be prepared to discuss any project on the proposed 2021 CIP Plan list. The five-year CIP Plan will be included in the draft 2021 Budget which is planned to be prepared and made available to Council and public by October 15, 2021. There are many new projects, including several projects that require initial design before there is a more accurate estimate of project costs. Any Council questions or requests for more detail or potential options on projects are welcome. Ultimately, Council direction is desired to prioritize projects in the CIP Plan as part of the complete 2021 Budget. AVAILABLE REVENUE: Council has the following identified revenue sources that can be used for capital improvement projects in 2021: Real Estate Transfer Tax ($2.5M base level less debt service and engineering) $1,203,302 Real Estate Transfer Tax interest earnings $50,000 Avon Urban Renewal Authority $700,000 TOTAL Projected Revenues $2,073,302 Projected Fund Balance (Not Including a $1,000,000 reserve policy) $6,264,983 TOTAL AVAILABLE FUNDS for 2021 $8,218,285 Proposed CIP Expenditures in 2021 $5,674,840 CIP Policies and Restrictions on Various Fund Sources: The following policies have been used for the CIP fund: • Town strives to maintain a minimum $1,000,000 fund balance in the CIP fund for emergencies and unforeseen capital improvement expenditures. Page 2 of 7 • The projected RETT revenue base of $2.5 million is conservative. Revenues which exceed the annual budget projection carry-over in the fund balance to the next budget year. • The additional RETT from initial sales at the Wyndham project are included in the $2.5 million base level for 2021. YTD through July Wyndham has paid $338,306.in RETT and is expected to wind down additional RETT revenues in 2022. • The Avon Urban Renewal Area currently has $700,000 available for capital improvements within the West Avon Investment Plan area (west of Avon Road, north of Eagle River, east of Avon Elementary School, and north to the Medical office building on north side of I-70. The West Avon Urban Renewal Plan broadly authorizes expenditure of URA funds on Town properties and Town public infrastructure in this area. Capital Projects: The cost of capital improvement projects is most effectively reduced with thorough planning and design prior to bidding for construction. Due to the construction season cycles and the high demand for construction work, an effective process to manage costs requires planning and design in the first year for a new project, and then bidding and construction the following year. SPECIFIC CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS: NOTTINGHAM PARK There are numerous park improvements that Staff has broken into 3 areas, west, north, and east. Attachment B includes a park vicinity map and maps of each of the three areas. West Nottingham Park Improvements: Council approved designs for the West Nottingham Park Improvements, which includes a comprehensive approach to landscaping, entry improvements and replacement of the softball field with a soccer field. These improvements tie into the recreation path, which is currently deteriorated. Improvements of the recreation path in this area has been accelerated to 2021 to coordinate with this project. Additional projects include: Nottingham Park Path Replacement: This project is accelerated to 2021 so that it is coordinated with the West Nottingham Park improvements. Nottingham Park Light Upgrade, Phase II: This project will complete upgrades to the lighting in Nottingham Park and will be installed as part of the park path replacement project. Resurface Pickleball and Tennis Courts: This project was deferred to 2021 and includes resurfacing both the pickle ball courts and adjacent tennis courts to address concerns over the current conditions and configuration. West Nottingham Park Improvements $ 280,000 West Nottingham Park Path Replacement $ 520,000 Nottingham Park Light Upgrade, Phase II $ 190,000 Resurface Pickleball and Tennis Courts $ 100,000 TOTAL $ 1,090,000 Page 3 of 7 North Nottingham Park Improvements: Several projects have been discussed for the north shore of the lake to improve the guest experience at the popular beach area. Staff is requesting direction from Council regarding these proposed improvements. West Beaver Creek Blvd. On Street Parking Improvements: Beach guests have been allowed to park in the West Beaver Creek Blvd. bike lane. People have expressed concerns about the safety of families entering and exiting their vehicles and the potential conflicts with bicyclists and vehicles. These options are based on widening 1,600-FT of the Blvd where the vehicles currently park. Further widening is not recommended because the distance to the beach would become longer than the walk from the Recreation Center parking lot which does not fill up in the summer. There are 2 options to improve the guest experience and road safety: a. The north shoulder can be widened 10-FT and pave the surface with asphalt millings (recycled asphalt) allowing vehicles to park outside of the bike lane. This is the most cost-effective solution and preliminary estimated to cost $520,000 and provide 66 parking spaces. b. The north shoulder can be widened by 18-FT and designed similar to the West Benchmark Road parking project with diagonal parking outside of the bike lane. This solution is estimated to cost $1,000,000 and provide 122 parking spaces. Lot 16, Nottingham Beach Restrooms: Public restroom are proposed near the north parking lot, also known as Lot 16. The restroom location is recommended because of the proximity of water and sewer mains. Locations closer to the beach will significantly increase the cost since the utilities will have to be extended from the parking lot. $50,000 is proposed for design in 2021 and $450,000 for construction occurring in 2022. This is a very conceptual estimate and will be refined during the scoping and design process. Beach Expansion and Dock Relocation: Attachment C is a memo from Recreation Director John Curutchet that provides and overview of the need and benefit of expanding the beach area. The existing beach is very popular in the summer and Staff is proposing to expand it to the west. The dock will be moved from the southeast corner, by the stage, to the northside at the beach. Moving the dock includes installing a new anchoring system and 100-FT paved path which is required by the American with Disabilities Act. A new smaller, seasonal dock would be installed on the south side using the existing dock anchors and would be removed during the winter to not conflict with potential Nottingham Lake Ice Skating. West Beaver Creek Blvd. Parking $ 520,000 Nottingham Beach Restrooms $ 500,000 Beach Expansion and Dock Relocation $ 170,000 TOTAL $ 1,190,000 Page 4 of 7 East Nottingham Park Improvements The east Nottingham Park improvements focus on the redevelopment of the former Town Hall site and neighboring facilities. The following projects are envisioned for this area: Old Town Hall Demolition: Council has provided direction to proceed with bidding the demolition of the old Town Hall building which will be bid out later this year. Demolition of the Old Town Hall will allow for the construction of public restrooms and other improvements on the site. New Public Restrooms for Nottingham Park: Council has provided direction that additional public restrooms for Nottingham Park are desired to support events of 1,500 to 2,000 persons. The location of the new public restrooms would be on the old Town Hall site. The public restroom building is expected to include some additional storage space to support special events and may include other uses depending on the community design process and available funds. This project also includes improvements to the existing patio on the east side of the old Town Hall and replacement and upgrade of the retaining/seating wall along the recreation path. The project will be designed in 2021 for 2022 construction. Powerline Undergrounding: The power line on the south side of Nottingham Park is planned to be undergrounded as part of the redevelopment of the old Town Hall site. The project will be funded from the Holy Cross Community Enhancement Fund and will occur in conjunction with the public restroom project in 2022. Old Town Hall Demolition $ 525,000 Public Restrooms/Special Events Storage $ 935,000 Retaining Wall Replacement $ 150,000 Patio landscaping $ 100,000 Powerline Undergrounding $ 120,000 TOTAL $ 1,680,000 Cabin Remodel: This project includes a complete restoration and remodel of the Nottingham Park cabin. The remodel would provide an additional green room for the Avon Performance Pavilion that would include an ADA accessible bathroom with shower and a kitchen sink and refrigerator. The cabin would still be used by the Recreation Center for summer programs. The remodeled cabin would be available as a small community meeting space. The cabin has been modified over the years to the extent that any restoration is not eligible for state or federal historic preservation funds. The extent of deterioration of some logs and posts and general condition of the cabin means that a complete restoration and remodel will be the equivalent cost of building a new Page 5 of 7 structure. Staff believes the current size and location is ideal for a multi-use space for the Recreation Center programs, an additional green room for the Avon pavilion and potential public meeting or private event rental space. At the September 8th Council meeting, there was concern about the cost of the project. Staff is recommending we start with an analysis of the potential uses and remodel costs of the building. An architect will be retained with experience in remodeling historical structures to develop options and costs and then present to Council for direction. Town Hall 2nd and 3rd Floor Wall Changes: Use of Town Hall space and proposed adjustments have been discussed with Town Hall Staff since May 2019. This project was deferred by Council direction last spring; however, Council also provided direction to consider employee spacing for COVID-19 safety. Staff is recommending these adjustments to be completed before May 2021 because they will likely require three weeks of work which can be performed with the least disruption while we have more employees working remotely. The proposed design maximizes the reuse of the existing walls. The cost estimate of $100,000 is a place holder. Public Safety Building Parking Lot Canopy: Design of a canopy for a portion of parking at the public safety building is included. Fleet Facility Roof Membrane Replacement: Staff proposes this project as non-discretionary because the current roof membrane is leaking and has reached its useful life. This project was deferred from 2020 to 2021. Fleet Solar Panels: Staff is researching information on costs and benefits of installing solar panels and will present additional details at a future Council work session. East Beaver Creek Blvd Bus Stop near Piedmont Apartments: The Piedmont Apartment developers did not want a bus stop on the street fronting this apartment project. A permanent bus stop is contemplated to occur immediately to the west when East Beaver Creek Blvd is further improved. The closest bus stop is at Traer Creek Plaza. The buses only travel eastbound and Staff is exploring the placement of signage to the west of Piedmont Apartments to serve this residential population when they move in this fall as shown below. Page 6 of 7 Proposed Bus Stop Location Mobility Center Ice Mitigation Project: The north side of the building collects significant amounts of ice in the winter which blocks the emergency exits creating a safety hazard. Work includes roof modifications to direct the snow away from the exits and repairs roof leaks. Recreation Center HVAC Upgrade: The current HVAC system has reached its useful life and requires replacement. Recreation Center Phase 2 Design: This project as listed as a future effort. The Health and Recreation Committee is intended to provide guidance and assist with providing recommendations on community preferences for improvements and/or expansion of the Avon Recreation Center. Recreation Center ADA Parking: This project will move the location of all ADA parking to the west lot because of the winter icing issues at the current location. The project will require new ramps, sidewalks, pavement markings and signage. Planning West Main Street Mall: This project was deferred from 2019. It is anticipated to coordinate with development of the Lot B hotel site which has not yet pulled a building permit. The development of the Lot B hotel site has been deferred. Staff proposes deferring the planning work to 2021. Wildfire Mitigation: Staff is including a line item to work with private property owners in Wildridge for additional wildfire mitigation. O’Neil Spur Park Parking Lot Rebuild: This is planned for 2021. Staff recommends this project be completed in 2021. Avon Rd./ I-70 Overpass Pedestrian Safety Improvements: Design is currently in progress on this project and is expected to go out to bid in early 2021. Council previously approved this project. Page 7 of 7 Nottingham and Swift Gulch Retaining Wall Repairs: Staff recommends that this project be completed in 2021. Metcalf Road Retaining Wall Stabilization: Staff recommends that this project be completed in 2022. Annual Guard Rail Repair: This is an on-going project to replace guardrails which are 40 years old and do not meet current specifications. Buck Creek Road Repairs: This project has increased from $300,000 to $800,000 due to geotechnical analysis conducted this summer and resulting recommendations. Mikaela Way: Mikaela Way needs to be resurfaced. The deterioration is clearly visible and the project is proposed for 2021. Hurd Lane/Riverfront Lane Intersection Improvements and Study: Staff is researching potential options and developing cost estimates for presentation to Council on. West Beaver Creek Road: Hwy 6 to Avon Elementary: Staff recommends repaving this stretch of road in 2022. US Hwy 6 Crossing: Council has supported pedestrian crossing improvements near the Stone Creek Bridge bus stops on Hwy 6. USFS Road 779 Trailhead: This project is listed as TBD after Council reviews and discusses the Wildridge Community Survey. Project THOR: This project is listed as occurring in the future. Currently, the next round of Project Thor participation is not determined. Fiber – CDOT to Public Safety Facility: This project will improve telecommunications infrastructure that is related to Project Thor capacity and broadband improvements. Rail Road Bridge and Neighborhood LED Message Boards: This project installs LED message boards at various locations in Town. The last Community Survey and the recent Wildridge Community Survey indicate that message boards are the 2nd highest means of the community receiving information (2nd to the Vail Daily). The LED boards allow for greater flexibility than the current variable message boards. REQUESTED DIRECTION: Council direction is requested on this list of Capital Improvements Projects and whether there are other items that should be included on the list.

The Town of Avon Recreation Department opened Nottingham Beach May of 2014. The beach has increased in popularity each year since opening and has grown into a family friendly spot for Avon residents as well as a destination activity for visitors. This summer we experienced a significant increase in residents and visitors enjoying the beach due in part to increased demand for outdoor gathering areas caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the change to the Avon’s alcohol policy to permit the general public to bring their own alcohol to Nottingham Park. The beach area often exceeded capacity with social distancing requirements. The Recreation Department has considered expansion of the beach area in the past, but it seems that the positive notoriety of Nottingham Beach more than tripled this summer and there is now strong public recognition that Nottingham Beach is a go to place to visit in the summer. This unique and special amenity that Avon is able to offer benefits our residents, draws many Eagle County residents to Avon, and is an important attraction for visitors in Avon’s lodging. Expanding the beach area would reinforce this amenity as well as Avon’s brand as a family friendly and outdoor oriented community. Included in the discussion of beach expansion is boat dock relocation. Currently, the boat dock resides on the south side of the lake. The boat dock is designed for the paddle boats and was previously used to stage paddle boat rentals before moving the rental location to the beach area on the other side of the lake. Relocating the boat dock to the north side will produce year-round benefits and significantly enhance summer rental operations. Staff proposes that a smaller seasonal dock should be installed at the current boat dock location. BACKGROUND: In the summer of 2015 the Recreation Department transitioned from operating pedal boat rentals from Nottingham cabin to a partnership with a third-party stand up paddle board rental company. That move increased our net revenue from $4,532 in 2014 to $8,669 the following summer. 2016 moved rental operations from the cabin to the beach, increasing net revenue to $15,725. Revenues and visitation continue to grow, but opportunities to further increase visitation and rental volume become challenging without beach expansion and relocation of the dock. Boat Dock with Paddle Boats - 2015 ATTACHMENT C 970.748.4059 jcurutchet@avon.org ANALYSIS: Approving capital funds for beach expansion and dock relocation will produce many positive benefits for the Town. Benefits include but are not limited to the following: •Increased surface area of sand for more to enjoy the beach experience •Increased swim area in front of the expanded beach area •Replacing failed wetlands with sand enhances the overall look of the north shore •A more professional presentation of paddle boat and SUP rentals with a boat dock •Increased visitation to the beach area increases exposure potential to all the Town of Avon has to offer, (park, rec center, events, library, retail, bars, restaurants, etc.) •Ability to operate the beach during the Open Water Swim Championship •Ability to keep SUPs and boat rentals on the dock and freeing up sand space •Relocation of boat dock decreases conflicts with winter ice skating programs on the south side of Nottingham Lake FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The cost of the beach expansion and boat dock relocation is presented in the Capital Improvements Project Plan report. The improvement and increased capacity of Nottingham Beach is expected to have a direct benefit to Avon’s residents as well as reinforce this unique amenity as another attraction for Avon’s lodging. The indirect financial benefits are difficult to measure. It is reasonable to expect an increase of 10-20% in paddleboat and SUP rental revenues with a 50% expansion of the beach area [increase of $5,500 to $11,000]. Below is a Recreation Department financial report of historical rental operations from beach opening in 2014 to end of summer operations 2020. YEAR EXPENSE: REVENUE: NET REVENUE 2014 $23,028 $27,028 $4,532 2015 $0 $8,669 $8,669 2016 $0 $15,725 $15,725 2017 $0 $22,618 $22,618 2018 $0 $30,888 $30,888 2019 $0 $30,799 $30,799 2020 $0 $55,034 $55,034 ATTACHMENT C 970.748.4059 jcurutchet@avon.org RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends Council approve Capital Funds for the expansion of Nottingham Beach and the relocation and repurposing of the boat dock to the north side of Nottingham Lake. MANAGER’S COMMENTS: A Nottingham Park Plan formal document was adopted in 2008. Since that time Avon has embarked on substantial capital investments and policy changes to truly transfer Nottingham Park into a prized amenity for the Avon community. A series of planned, intentional and coordinated improvements are presented for the 2021 and 2022 which will bring Nottingham Park into its full maturity as the community amenity that was envisioned over a decade ago. The current beach is approximately 300’ in length. The beach expansion would be approximately 150’, or a 50% increase, in the beach area. Along with the Lot 16 public restrooms and parking improvements, the beach expansion will utilize this area for its potential and will be able to serve the Avon community for decades to come. The 2021 and 2022 Capital Improvements to Nottingham Park would bring the park to its full maturity, meaning that there is neither physical room nor identified community need for additional improvements.

BACKGROUND: As a general matter, the District leads in the protection, conservation, use, and development of the water resources of the Colorado River basin for the welfare of the communities within the District, and to safeguard for Colorado all waters of the Colorado River to which the state is entitled. Recently, the District placed Ballot Issue 7A on the November 3, 2020 ballot. The District is seeking authorization to increase its current property tax mill levy .248 mills for a total mill levy of 0.5 mills. The new mill levy would raise about $4.9 million more annually for the District throughout its 15-county boundaries. About $4.2 million would be dedicated to partnership projects across the District in one or more of the following five categories laid out in the plan: productive agriculture, infrastructure, healthy rivers, watershed health and water quality, conservation and efficiency. The remaining funds would address budgetary reductions caused by the Gallagher and TABOR amendments. No new staff positions would be created with the new funds. As a general matter, the Fair Campaign Practices Act prohibits the Town from expending funds to urge voters to voter for or against any ballot measure. However, pursuant to Section 1-45-117(1)(b)(III)(A) of the Fair Campaign Practices Act, Town Council is permitted to pass a resolution advocating for the passage of Ballot Issue 7A and publishing passage of such resolution “through established, customary means.” FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Resolution 20-27 does not create any financial obligation for the Town. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 20-27. PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution 20-27 thereby expressing Town Council’s support for the passage of Colorado River Water Conservation District Ballot Issue 7A.” Thank you, Paul Wisor ATTACHMENTS: Resolution 20-27. Res 20-27 Supporting Colorado River Water Conservation District Ballot Issue 7A Page 1 of 2 RESOLUTION 20-27 ADVOCATING FOR THE PASSAGE OF THE COLORADO RIVER WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT BALLOT ISSUE 7A WHEREAS, the Colorado River Water Conservation District is a public entity with a mission to lead in the protection, conservation, use and development of the water resources of the Colorado River Basin for the welfare its residents and to safeguard for Colorado all the waters of the Colorado River to which the State of Colorado is entitled; and WHEREAS, it is critical to the people of Western Colorado that the Colorado River District continue to be a strong and effective voice on water matters affecting Western Colorado water users, and WHEREAS, the Colorado River District’s revenues are declining due to reduced energy production and prices, impacts of the Gallagher Amendment and the revenue limitations in the Taxpayers Bill of Rights, and WHEREAS, it is important to provide for sufficient funding for necessary water projects to protect the quality of life in Eagle County and on the Western Slope WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Colorado River District has certified and directed that Ballot Issue 7A be placed in the November 2020 election across the District’s 15 counties: Shall Colorado River Water Conservation District, also known as the Colorado River District, taxes be increased by an amount up to $4,969,041 in 2021 (which increases amounts to approximately $1.90 in 2021 for every $100,000 in residential property value), and such amounts as are generated annually thereafter from an additional property tax levy of .248 mills (for a total mill levy of 0.5 mills) to enable the Colorado River District to protect and safeguard Western Colorado by: •Fighting to keep water on the Western Slope; •Protecting adequate water supplies for West Slope Farmers and Ranchers; •Protecting sustainable drinking water supplies for West Slope communities; and •Protecting fish, wildlife, and recreation by maintaining river levels and water quantity; Provided that the District will not utilize these additional funds for the purpose of paying to fallow irrigated agriculture; with such expenditures reported to the public in an annually published independent financial audit; and shall all revenues received by the District in 2021 and each subsequent year be collected retained and spent notwithstanding any limits provided by law? WHEREAS, Avon Town Council believes the revenues that will be raised if Ballot Issue 7A is approved by the voters are critical to the Colorado River Water Conservation District being able to continue its mission and be a strong and effective advocate on issues and importance to water users on the Western Slope of Colorado. WHEREAS, the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act authorizes local governments to adopt resolutions in support of or opposition to ballot issues, and it is the desire of Avon Town Council to Res 20-27 Supporting Colorado River Water Conservation District Ballot Issue 7A Page 2 of 2 express its overwhelming and strongest possible support the Colorado River Water Conservation District’s Ballot Issue 7A; and WHEREAS, the Colorado Fair Campaign Practices Act also authorizes local governments to distribute in normal fashion an adopted resolution regarding any ballot issue of importance to that local government.

The above and foregoing recitals are incorporated by reference and adopted as findings and determinations of the Town Council. Section 2. Ballot Issue 7A. The Avon Town Council affirmatively supports the Colorado River Water Conservation District and urges qualified electors to vote YES on Ballot Issue 7A. ADOPTED this 6th day of October 2020. AVON TOWN COUNCIL By: __________________________________ Sarah Smith-Hymes, Mayor Attest: ________________________________ Brenda Torres, Town Clerk 970.748.4413 mpielsticker@avon.org TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Matt Pielsticker, Planning Director RE: Full-time Permit Technician Position in Community Development DATE: September 30, 2020 SUMMARY: The Community Development Department’s part-time Planning and Permit Technician position was recently vacated. This vacancy has forced Community Development to evaluate the current workload and job duties of employees to determine if additional staff time or expertise is warranted given the current and anticipated construction trends in Town. A full-time Certified Permit Technician is now warranted for consideration in order to continue a high level of professional service with all facets of building permit administration. The purpose of this report is to summarize the duties and responsibilities related to this position. Permit revenue and expenditures related to the Building Division of Community Development are included to demonstrate full coverage of this position’s projected salary and benefits. Finally, this report includes a recommendation to move forward with solicitation, budgeting, and hiring of this modified position. BACKGROUND: Since originally filling this position in early 2019, construction projects and associated work volume have steadily increased. The Town’s Building Official has been working almost exclusively with building inspection services with little time for regular Building Official work or special projects. The Town’s outgoing Permit and Planning Technician has worked exclusively with building duties without ability to assist with planning work. It has become clear that the ability to acquire Certified Permit Technician status, while employed part-time and performing routine duties, is not possible. DUTIES: A Building Permit Technician performs routine and complex administrative work in performing the daily operations of contractor licensing, building permit administration, and official records maintenance. This position would be advertised for Certified Permit Technician status, as designated by the International Code Council. This certification carries additional professional knowledge related to the international building codes, with particular attention to the administrative provisions and code enforcement. Certified Permit Technicians are well-versed in building permit and plan intake and initial review. The position would be advertised for consideration of certified status, typically with 2 years of experience, and nonexempt status. BUILDING DIVISON EXPENSES & REVENUES: The Town’s Building Division expenses include all personnel costs and benefits associated with the Building Official and the Planning and Permit Technician. Additionally, expenses include customary office operating costs and maintenance of one hybrid vehicle. Revenue include all Permit Plan Review fees, Building Permit fees, and Contractor License fees. The chart demonstrates fluctuations in permit fees and full coverage of building expenses year over year. 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Est 2021 Proposed Expenses 131,509$ 141,694$ 145,487$ 150,462$ 180,662$ 185,515$ - Revenues 377,685$ 254,908$ 315,915$ 353,719$ 1,060,540$ 345,000$ 330,000.00$ Page 2 of 2 SALARY RANGE: Current (2020) budget for the part-time Permit and Planning Technician is $35,500. This chart shows the salary ranges from our primary comparator communities and the average of these salary ranges as the recommended salary range for this proposed full-time position (highlighted in green). This approach is in accordance with the Town of Avon Employee Policies. FINANCIAL: Personnel cost is roughly salary time plus 45% of salary when adding the cost of health insurance, retirement matching and other benefits. The range of total cost to Town would be $68,000 to $93,000, or a net increase of $32,500 to $57,500. OPTIONS: Council may request additional information, deny this request, or approve the request with motion and vote. TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: I support expanding the Building Permit Technician position to a full-time position with certification as a minimum qualification. It is important that Avon provide professional building inspection services to our community. Avon’s building department is small compared to our neighboring and peer communities and our building permit revenues are projected to consistently support this added expense. The current volume and pace of construction projects is sufficient to keep a full-time Building Permit Technician busy and this position can assist with code enforcement under the Avon Development Code as an additional duty.

UPDATES: We hosted a virtual meeting on Wednesday September 30th to further discuss winter restaurant operations and invited all restaurant owners to join. Six restaurant owners and representatives attended the meeting. We then scheduled follow up visits with all restaurants that expressed interest in a tent. Visits are scheduled for October 1, 2, 5 & 6. We will provide an update to Council at the October 6 meeting. We continue to gather data on tent costs, options for custom tents, and forced air heating costs. We understand that some restaurants may want to construct more durable and permanent seating additions that they will desire remain in place for 2 years or more and which would encroach on Town plaza and/or right-of-way areas in some cases. It is clear that each restaurant has very different needs and physical conditions. Town Staff contacted Mr. Alex Bolla, who provides the infrared heating pad options. Mr. Bolla confirmed he will have a test tent up in front of Bob’s Place starting Tuesday October 6 to test tent heating through heat film and waterproof coating. With this technology there are many different options for floor covering including indoor/outdoor carpet, floating wood floor or rubber coating. The demo in front of Bob’s will be imbedded into the rubber so people can see it. This technology does not add moisture and a carbon footprint the way propane does. APPROVAL PROCESS: Avon Municipal Code Section 7.24.080 allows for approval of temporary uses, but requires Planning and Zoning Commission approval for temporary structures that exceed 30 days in a calendar year. The Planning and Zoning Commission is authorized to grant a temporary use permit for up to three years. We are working with Community Development to coordinate any Town approval process for building inspection and permits to waive permit fees and do our best to explain application requirements and expedite review and approval of tents and temporary structures. We are also gathering information on programs by other communities to assist restaurants and businesses for the winter season. Thank you, Eric & Ineke 970.748.4004 eric@avon.org TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: Terrace Concessionaire Request for Proposal DATE: October 2, 2020 SUMMARY: The Terrace behind the Avon Pavilion Stage has been rarely used since its construction in 2015. This summer we experienced great success with the Sunset LIVE! local music series. We also experienced substantial increase in daily public usage of the Terrace this summer due in part to COVID-19 pandemic, public health orders, and a general preference by the public to use outdoor spaces. One consequence of increased usage of the Terrace and Nottingham Lake in general was constant diving off the Terrace railing into Nottingham Lake. After multiple attempts to increase enforcement and oversight of the Terrace which were not effective, the Terrace was closed to the public use except during Sunset LIVE! when Town Staff was present to provide oversight. We have received interest from a local business and resident in serving food and alcohol at the Terrace during the summer, perhaps four days per week. Licensing a concessionaire for the summer would provide an amenity for the public to purchase alcohol, quick foods and snacks in the park, provide oversight of the Terrace while open to the public, increase activation of Nottingham Park and Nottingham Lake, ability to expand local musician opportunities, and increase exposure and opportunity of the Terrace as a potential small scale live performance venue. TERMS FOR TERRACE CONSESSIONAIRE: A Request for Proposal process is proposed to solicit interest for concessionaires to operate the Terrace. Any concessionaire licensee would be required to comply with COVID-19 Public Health Orders along with all other application health and safety regulations. COVID-19 Public Health Orders may restrict operations to the point where they are not feasible in 2021. The minimum terms for a concessionaire Request for Proposal would include (but not be limited to): 1. License term would be for one season, from Memorial Day week-end through the end of September. 2. Open to the general public when operating. The concessionaire would not be able to exclude public to only paying customers. As a liquor serving area, the general public would not be able to bring their own alcohol onto the Terrace while the Terrace is open. There may be exceptions for private events and ticketed music performances. 3. Priority preference would be given for Avon businesses or Avon residents that submit a proposal. 4. Scheduled hour of operations and consistent commitment to hours of operations. 5. Description of training for customer service to meet Avon’s expectations and TIPS training for alcohol service. 6. Description of menu and pricing, which a preference for locally sourced foods and beverages and reasonable prices. 7. Requirements and expectations to meet minimum standards of customer service and providing information as operators at a Town facility. Page 2 of 3 8. Requirement to meet all of Avon’s sustainability standards and criteria which are applicable to all vendors for all Avon events. 9. Ability of Town to restrict any employees of concessionaire from working on Terrace if there are behavior concerns. 10. Ability of Town to schedule special events, ticketed events and private events with or without service by the concessionaire. 11. Commitment of concessionaire to support live music performance opportunities on two or more evenings per week or such other times as may be determined appropriate, which support meets minimum defined standards. 12. Ability of the Town to own all logos, branding and trademarks associated with the Terrace and events at the Terrace. 13. Appropriate commercial liability insurance and indemnification of the Town. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: It is not a primary goal to lease the Terrace area for profit. Rather, the primary goals are to provide a high quality and consistent concessionaire service that reflects well, and never poorly, on the Town of Avon, to provide on-site presence and oversight of the Terrace so that it can remain open to the public without enforcement concerns over diving, and to provide lakeside opportunities for local live music performances at minimal or no cost to Town, while preserving the Town’s ability to be flexible with other potential events. LIQUOR LICENSE: I am currently reviewing options for liquor licensing with Town Attorney Paul Wisor and CASE Manager Danita Dempsey. Options include a concessionaire operating under the Town’s optional premise license or the Town could modify the Town’s optional premise license to allow a third party to hold a separate liquor license on the Town’s property. The Town is not permitted to sell alcohol within a designated area for consumption and allow bring your own beverage within the same consumption area. ADDITIONAL DETAILS: There are additional details, such as provision of porta-lets, access and use of green room, clean-up, Avon tent set-up, configuration and responsibility of seating furniture on the Terrace, trash management, etc. I expect to work with CASE Manager Danita Dempsey to identify these details. I also expect that an interested concessionaire may be REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL: I am working on the form of a Request for Proposal with Staff which would be issued by October 9 and would be open until November 10. OPTIONS: Council has the following options: (1) Council can delegate to Town Manager to conduct Request for Proposal process, select a concessionaire, and enter into a license agreement for the 2021 summer season with Town Attorney review and approval (I would include at least two other members of Staff in the RFP and review process); (2) same as (1) but appoint two Council members to participate with Staff in reviewing concessionaire proposals and license document; Page 3 of 3 (3) Council can provide direction to bring a proposed concessionaire back to Council for approval or could provide direction to review all concessionaire proposals; (4) Council can provide direction that providing a license agreement for the Terrace area is not appropriate; or (5) Council can request additional information and schedule a future Council meeting for more discussion and consideration. COUNCIL ACTION: Council direction is requested. PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to direct the Town Manager to conduct a Request for Proposal for concessionaires for the Lakeside Terrace for the summer of 2021 and to provide a license agreement to the selected concessionaire with review and approval of the Town Attorney.” Thank you, Eric 970-748-4045 jhildreth@avon.org TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer RE: Resolution No. 20-28, Approving Holy Cross Energy Underground Right-Of-Way Easement and Trench, Conduit, and Vault Agreement for the Nottingham Park Utility Improvements Project DATE: September 30, 2020 SUMMARY: Review and approve Resolution No. 20-28, approving Holy Cross Energy Underground Right- Of-Way Easement and Trench, Conduit, and Vault Agreement for the Nottingham Park Utility Improvements Project.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED: Brenda Torres, Town Clerk APPROVED: Sarah Smith Hymes ___________________________________ Amy Phillips Jake Wolf Chico Thuon Jennie Fancher Scott Prince Tamra Underwood 970.748.4005/970.471.6621 ljrichards@avon.org TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Lance J Richards, Human Resources Director RE: Updates to Employee Policies DATE: September 30, 2020 SUMMARY: This report provides an overview of updates to the Town of Avon Employee Policies. During the 2020 Colorado Legislative session the Colorado legislature passed two Acts which impact the Town’s Employee Policies, including the designation of Frances Xavier Cabrini Day in lieu of Columbus Day and the adoption of the Colorado Healthy Family and Workplaces Act. No action by Council is requested. CABRINI DAY: HB 20-1031 Concerning the Establishment of a New State Holiday in Place of Columbus Day, was passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Polis on March 20, 2020. This law replaces Columbus Day with Cabrini Day as a State Holiday. This holiday is named in honor of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. Mother Cabrini, a Catholic nun, founded an orphanage and a retreat in Colorado, and became known as the ‘saint of the immigrants” for her work across our country. She was made a Saint by Pope Pius XII in 1946. A copy of HB 20-1031 is attached which includes additional recitals for the reason to observe Frances Xavier Cabrini day. Generally, it has been the policy of the Town to observe the holidays observed by the State of Colorado as set forth in Colorado Revised Statutes Sec. 24-11-101 – Legal Holidays. The Avon Town Council directed the Town Manager in 2020 to implement an alternative to observing Columbus Day due to controversies associated with this day. The Employee Policies were amended to provide a floating holiday in lieu of observing Columbus Day. Due to passage of HB 20-1031, the Employee Policies will be updated to observe Cabrini Day along with the other recognized State Holidays. ADOPTION OF HFWA: SB 20-205 Concerning the Requirement that Employers Offer Sick Leave to Their Employees, and, in Connection Therewith, Making and Appropriation, was passed by the Colorado legislature and signed by Governor Polis. This bill takes effect on January 1, 2021 on the assumption that the Families First Coronavirus Relief Act (“FFCRA”), the federal legislation passed last spring in response to the COVID pandemic, will sunset as scheduled on Dec 31st, 2021. This bill enacts the Colorado Healthy Family and Workplaces Act (“HFWA”). FFCRA provides COVID-related paid sick leave to employees working for businesses with under 500 employees. HFWA mandates that the emergency paid sick leave provisions in FFCRA apply to all employers in Colorado, regardless of employer size, after FFCRA sunsets. Beginning January 1, 2020, all Colorado employers with more than 15 employees will be required to accrue a paid sick leave bank for all employees, based on one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a total of 48 hours (or six 8-hour days). This new mandate exceeds the Town’s current policies, which do not provide paid sick leave for part-time or seasonal employees. This will apply to the Town effective January 1st. The Town of Avon Employee Policies will be amended to include these two laws. It is not clear yet how HFWA will work if FFCRA were to be amended or extended because HFWA adoption is tied to the original provisions of FFCRA. At this time, the Town must proceed on the assumption that FFCRA will sunset on Dec 31st as scheduled, and HFWA will take effect on Jan 1st with current FFCRA provisions applying to all Colorado employees. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: This will not create an incremental cost to the Town, per se, as the accrued sick time is not payable upon termination, and there are limits to annual accrual. Paid sick leave, when used, of course, does represent a loss of manpower, and incurs resulting labor-cost inefficiency. Thank you, Lance ATTACHMENT: House Bill 20-1031 HOUSE BILL 20-1031 BY REPRESENTATIVE(S) Benavidez and Mullica, Buckner, Caraveo, Coleman, Cutter, Duran, Exum, Garnett, Gonzales-Gutierrez, Herod, Hooton, Jackson, Jaquez Lewis, Kipp, Melton, Michaelson Jenet, Singer, Snyder, Tipper, Weissman, Woodrow; also SENATOR(S) Williams A. and Hansen, Fenberg, Fields, Foote, Gonzales. CONCERNING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW STATE HOLIDAY IN PLACE OF COLUMBUS DAY. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Colorado: SECTION 1. Legislative declaration. (1) The general assembly hereby finds and declares that: (a) State holidays are intended to honor prominent figures in United States history and acknowledge other civic events and celebrations in Colorado. (b) Although Christopher Columbus is recognized as a voyager who arrived in what is now known as the Caribbean Sea, he never traveled to or entered the territory that became the United States. He had no knowledge NOTE: This bill has been prepared for the signatures of the appropriate legislative officers and the Governor. To determine whether the Governor has signed the bill or taken other action on it, please consult the legislative status sheet, the legislative history, or the Session Laws. ________ Capital letters or bold & italic numbers indicate new material added to existing law; dashes through words or numbers indicate deletions from existing law and such material is not part of the act. of or contact with the area now known as the state of Colorado, providing no rationale for a Colorado state holiday in his name. In 1492, he was welcomed by the indigenous Taino people to their homeland on the island of Quiqueya, which Columbus renamed Hispaniola. Fifty years later, the Taino people had been nearly exterminated by Columbus and his successors. (c) Frances Xavier Cabrini was a humanitarian champion of immigrants and children in the United States. Cabrini first came to Colorado in 1902. In 1905, she opened the Queen of Heaven Orphanage for girls in a residence in north Denver. (d) In her lifetime, Cabrini was responsible for founding sixty-seven institutions, including schools, hospitals, and orphanages throughout the United States and in South and Central America. (e) In 1909, Cabrini negotiated the purchase of a rural property to serve as a summer camp for the girls living in the orphanage. The land was on the eastern slope of Lookout Mountain in Golden and had no reliable source of water. (f) During Cabrini's last visit to Colorado in 1912, while staying at the mountain camp, she directed the girls to dig under a specific rock where they found a spring of fresh water. That spring continues to provide water to the property today. (g) The land upon which Cabrini established her orphanage and camp is the traditional territory and homeland of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute indigenous nations. Those indigenous peoples, and all indigenous peoples, have a special, sacred relationship with water, similar to that of Cabrini. (h) Cabrini was naturalized as a United States citizen in October 1909. Recognizing the first Monday in October as Frances Xavier Cabrini Day in recognition of Cabrini's contributions to the state of Colorado creates an opportunity to promote an appreciation, tolerance, and understanding of the different cultures that make up our state. (2) Therefore, in order to preserve the number of state holidays while commemorating the contributions of Cabrini to Colorado and the PAGE 2-HOUSE BILL 20-1031 United States, the general assembly hereby replaces Columbus day with Frances Xavier Cabrini day as a legal state holiday. SECTION 2. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 24-11-101, amend (1) as follows: 24-11-101. Legal holidays - effect. (1) The following days, viz: The first day of January, commonly called New Year's day; the third Monday in January, which shall be observed as the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; the third Monday in February, commonly called Washington-Lincoln day; the last Monday in May, commonly called Memorial day; the fourth day of July, commonly called Independence day; the first Monday in September, commonly called Labor day; the second FIRST Monday in October, commonly called Columbus FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI day; the eleventh day of November, commonly called Veterans' day; the fourth Thursday in November, commonly called Thanksgiving day; the twenty-fifth day of December, commonly called Christmas day; and any day appointed or recommended by the governor of this state or the president of the United States as a day of fasting or prayer or thanksgiving, are hereby declared to be legal holidays and shall, for all purposes whatsoever, as regards the presenting for payment or acceptance and the protesting and giving notice of the dishonor of bills of exchange, drafts, bank checks, promissory notes, or other negotiable instruments and also for the holding of courts, be treated and considered as is the first day of the week commonly called Sunday. SECTION 3. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 5-1-301, amend (6) as follows: 5-1-301. General definitions. In addition to definitions appearing in subsequent articles, as used in this code, unless the context otherwise requires: (6) "Business day" means any calendar day except Sunday, New Year's day, the third Monday in January observed as the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington-Lincoln day, Memorial day, Independence day, Labor day, Columbus FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI day, Veterans' day, Thanksgiving day, and Christmas day. SECTION 4. In Colorado Revised Statutes, 6-1-102, amend (2.5) PAGE 3-HOUSE BILL 20-1031 as follows: 6-1-102. Definitions. As used in this article 1, unless the context otherwise requires: (2.5) "Business day" means any calendar day except Sunday, New Year's day, the third Monday in January observed as the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington-Lincoln day, Memorial day, Independence day, Labor day, Columbus FRANCES XAVIER CABRINI day, Veterans' day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. SECTION 5. Act subject to petition - effective date. This act takes effect at 12:01 a.m. on the day following the expiration of the ninety-day period after final adjournment of the general assembly (August 5, 2020, if adjournment sine die is on May 6, 2020); except that, if a referendum petition is filed pursuant to section 1 (3) of article V of the state constitution against this act or an item, section, or part of this act within such period, then the act, item, section, or part will not take effect unless approved by the people at the general election to be held in November 2020 PAGE 4-HOUSE BILL 20-1031 and, in such case, will take effect on the date of the official declaration of the vote thereon by the governor. ____________________________ ____________________________ KC Becker Leroy M.

At Avon Elementary School, during PwrHrs Summer Camp, the Hope Center clinician provided clinical support in group sessions for 35 students.

Thank you, Elizabeth 970.748.4040 gdalyl@avon.org TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Greg Daly, Chief of Police RE: Town Core Parking Enforcement Update DATE: September 30, 2020 SUMMARY: This report provides an overview of parking enforcement in the Town Core area for the 2020- 2021 winter season. Avon Police Department will actively enforce parking time limits within the Town Core effective October 26. We are starting earlier than usual, before the snow flies, to (re)familiarize our residents and guests with the time limits in parking areas around the Town Core. In general, parking is not an issue during the summer, except during special events, but can become an issue during the winter months. This will also assist with ensuring retail related parking to occur with access to core shopping stores. BACKGROUND: Parking enforcement, is generally a reactive activity for our police department, based on when we receive specific parking complaints. There is considerable use of currently available all-day parking around Old Town Hall and on Lake Street, mainly from construction sub-contractors working on the Westin expansion. This will be the case for the foreseeable future. As luck would have it, due to online virtual university learning, we will have our part-time Community Response Officer (“CRO”) Rose Martinez available for 4 hours per day to address those vehicles that are exceeding limits or are parking in prohibited areas. CRO Martinez has worked during holidays last year but we have an expanded availability this year. As is the general philosophy of the Police Department, the first violation will receive a warning and the second violation will receive a citation. The Town of Avon has created some desirable parking on Benchmark Road with a three-hour parking limit. In order to allow residents and guests to be able to use these spaces equitably, we will enforce the three- hour limit. In addition, we will address Mikaela Way library two-hour parking spaces, Avon Recreation Center patron two-hour parking only, three-hour time limited parking at the Wyndham and on West Beaver Creek Boulevard. We will provide two weeks of advance notice by posting through our social media outlets and also directly advise the Westin, Wyndham, and Westin construction site of the upcoming parking enforcement. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: We are employing our part-time Community Response Officer at 28 hours per week and at 40 hours per week between December 11 to January 11. TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: The Town will reinstitute the week-end Avon resident parking passes to park at the Town Hall parking lot. We definitely need enforcement for the Recreation Center Parking Lot and the parking by the Avon Library.
