TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Sarah Smith Hymes and Avon Town Council
From: Greg Daly, Chief of Police
Meeting Date: October 28, 2021
Agenda Topic: RECOGNITION OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS/ORGANIZATIONS/ AND BUSINESSES FOR SUPPORT
OF THE 2021 NATIONAL NIGHT OUT
SUMMARY
Honorable Mayor and Council, we are delighted to have the opportunity to present Chiefs Community
Partnership award to community members, organizations and businesses for their phenomenal support
of our annual National Night Out activities in August.
BACKGROUND
Over the last fifteen (15) years, the Avon Police Department has participated annually in National Night
Out with the Avon community on the first Tuesday of every August (Except for COVID 2020) This year,
the department continued to host the community parties in three neighborhoods; The Aspen’s Mobile
Home Park, Eaglebend Apartments and O’Neil Spur Park in Wildridge. Avon PD leads the county in the
number of community parties that we host. This event is significant in continuing to strengthen
relationships between the Town of Avon, the Avon Police Department and our community. It is also an
opportunity to interact with neighbors, friends and area first responders.
National Night Out was developed with an emphasis on the vital importance of police-community
partnerships and citizen involvement to reduce crime and improve neighborhood safety.
The Avon Police Department has been successful in our National Night Out activities because of the
generous giving of local businesses and community members. This year, Chief Daly and his team are
honored to recognize several businesses and community members in front of the Avon Town Council for
their continued support and/or significant giving over the last 15 years. Many other members of the
community have supported National Night Out and our staff at the Avon Police Department wishes to
thank them as well.
Tonight, we honor the following individuals and organizations. Not all the mentioned individuals or
organizations can attend tonight but we will ensure that they receive an Avon Police Department
community appreciation certificate on behalf of the Town of Avon. .

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Town Council members FROM: Scott Wright, Asst Town Manager / Finance Director
RE: 2022 Proposed Budget and Public Hearing
DATE: October 15, 2021
SUMMARY: This is an information-only report - no action is required from Council at this time. A budget
hearing will be held on October 26 and November 9 for the final amended 2021 budget and the proposed
2022 budget. Final action on the budgets, as well as property tax levies, will be taken on December 14.
GENERAL FUND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS: General Fund expenditures ($22,115,698) are budgeted to
exceed projected revenues ($21,718,893) by $396,805. The General Fund beginning of year estimated
Fund Balance is $12,150,542 and the end of the year estimated Fund Balance is $11,753,737. The Town
maintains a healthy unreserved fund balance of $5,020,349 and meets Financial Policy guidelines that
requires setting aside reserves in the amount of 27% of Operations and 3% for Emergencies.
General Fund Revenues: Total tax revenues for 2022 are projected to increase from $17,016,013 in 2021
to $17,881,275, an increase of $865,262. Charges for Services is projected to increase from $1,290,694 to
$1,423,493, or an increase of $132,799 for 2022, which is primarily due to projected increases in Avon
Recreation Center admissions.
General Fund Expenditures: After significant belt-tightening in both 2020 and the original 2021 budget,
2022 expenditures have increased by a total of $3,158,695. A Town wide Salary Freeze was implemented
in March, 2020 and has been carried through 2021. Many equipment and operating supplies and contract
services were eliminated where possible and equipment replacement charges were eliminated.
Personnel cost highlights include a merit based overall salary cost increase of 4% at January 1 and market
rate salary range increases of 4% on July 1 at an estimated cost of $610,000. New proposed full-time
positions include a Grant Administrator, Special Events coordinator, Public Works operator I, and a Public
Works Director.
In addition to personnel, there are several one-time purchases included in the 2022 budget. These include
a Vactor truck ($419,890) in Roads and Bridges, holdover Fleet vehicle purchases ($436,283), and
increases in Equipment Replacement Charges of $1,137,033.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: It is important to present a sustainable operating budget. Although the budget is
presented as annual general fund expenses exceeding annual revenues, the Operating Revenues ($21,718,893)
exceed the Operating Expenditures ($20,265,698) by $1,453,195. and expenses are balance. The purchase of
vehicles with cash rather than lease purchase payments and the reconciling of “hold-over” vehicles has increased
expenditures by over $2 million in 2022.
Salary Cost Increases: We are transitioning from a Step Salary system to Merit Based Salary Increases which
would follow annual performance evaluations. We have shifted our performance evaluations from the anniversary
of an Employee’s start date to a unified schedule in the fall. This common schedule allows for training of Directors
and Supervisors to conduct performance evaluations and the ability to include the cost of salary increase
recommendations into the budget before final adoption in December of each year. Generally, the range would be
0% to 4% increase with the ability to consider increases above 4%.
Page 2 of 2
I intend to propose an increase in merit based salary increase in the 2022 budget from 4% to 5.5% to establish an
adequate budget for salary adjustments. Avon will need to consider a larger salary increase adjustment for January
1, 2022 to remain competitive because we have lagged behind our peer communities with ending the COVID-19
based salary freezes. NOTE: Salary increases will be determined on an individual basis based on our newly
adopted system of performance evaluations and merit based increases. The percentage increase is a budget
amount that is estimated to cover the cumulative cost of salary increase, not an indication of individual salary
increases. More information will be presented at the November 9, 2021 public hearing.
Training: Training expenses across all Departments has increased. The Employee Pulse Survey in early 2021
indicated a desire for more training. I am a supporter and believer in training and consider essential to (1) maintain
best skills and (2) expose employees to perspectives and ideas beyond our local region.
Town Manager Budget: The Town Manager budget consists of the Town Manager, General Government
Manager, Grant Administrator, and the General Government Intern. Program 131 – Town Manager will be retitled
as “Administrative” and the Department Narrative will better explain the positions in Program 131.
Special Events: Please note that the Special Events budget has not been revised to incorporate Council direction
to not include fireworks for Salute to the USA. The $361,044 increase will be less in the revised budget.
Thank you, Scott

businesses and guests about the impacts of waste on the Town's environmental health, the importance of
reducing the number of disposable bags entering the waste stream, and the impact of disposable bags on
the Town's waterways and the environment; (3) creating public educational campaigns to raise awareness
about waste reduction and recycling; (4) funding programs and infrastructure that allows the Avon
community to reduce waste and recycle; (5) purchasing and installing equipment designed to minimize

Mobility will continue to support the Regional Transit Authority formation effort. Unfortunately, COVID-19 will continue to
impact transit service into 2022. While bus capacity limits have been removed, protective personnel equipment is still
required. The Level of Service for the Skier Express and Restaurant shuttle will return to normal operations. In addition,
Mobility is looking forward to the arrival of two new, all-electric, transit buses. We will continue to partner with
stakeholders for a regional ebikeshare program. CDOT will be expanding its Bustang service with a new Pegasus line.
Pegasus is a weekend transit service provided by smaller vans that can use the Mountain Express Lanes. Service will
be from Avon Station to Denver Union Station and their vans will be housed in the ARTF. A significant milestone was
reached with the Revitalizing Main Street grant award in support of safer pedestrian mobility on US6. The design and
construction of the Stonebridge Dr. Roundabout and three (3) pedestrian crossings on US6 will be underway.

SEE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND PROJECT DETAIL
BUDGET SUMMARY: CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
The Capital Projects Fund is primarily funded with a 2% real estate transfer tax (RETT). Projected RETT revenues reflect historic
collection trends and the best information available regarding the local real estate market. In addition to RETT revenues, the
General Fund also makes transfers to the Capital Projects Fund, after achieving a balanced budget, and with all reserves fully
funded. Certain other Town funds also occasionally contribute to capital infrastructure depending on the project, such as the
Water Fund and the Community Enhancement Fund. Capital projects are selected based on several criteria including, but not
limited to, the need for new streets, road and facility development, major maintenance of the Town’s existing facilities and
infrastructure, investments in economic development, and projects identified that have high priorities in meeting adopted planning
document objectives such as the the Town Comprehensive Plan, Nottingham Park Master Plan and the Recreation Trails Master
Plan. A five-year Capital Improvements Program, required by the Town Charter and necessary to the long-term planning of
infrastructure development and maintenance is also prepared and adopted annually.
ADMINISTRATION OF THE FUND
The Capital Projects Fund is administered by the Town Engineer. The three engineers in the Engineering Department spend a
significant portion of each position's time on planning and implementation of the Fund and Five-Year Program. Proportional
monies for the engineer's salary are transferred to the General Fund.

The General Government Department includes the legislative, general administrative services, legal, municipal court, culture, arts,
special events, communications and marketing, community grants and economic development functions of the Town. These
functions are performed by the Council, Town Manager, Town Clerk, Town Attorney, Municipal Court Judge, and various Town
Staff.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS YEAR
The Special Events Coordinator position was vacated mid-year in 2020, this position was subsequently replaced with two full-time
seasonal coordinators to assist with the 2021 summer events season. That staffing model did not work out and we are proposing
to reinstate one year-round Special Events Coordinator position in 2022. In addition we are proposing one full-time year-round
public works operator 1 which will report to Public Works half of the year and which will report to Special Events in the summer
time. In administration, we are proposing a new Grants Administrator position which will spend the majority of his/her time on
writing & administering grants and which will be supplemented with admin work where possible. We propose the Clerk's Office to
get 12hrs/week support from the adinistrative services officer to help with covering the clerk's office 9 hours a day. This position is
paid 70% by Avon PD and 30% out of the Town Clerk budget. The recreation marketing expenses were moved from the
Recreation budget to the Community Relations budget.
BUDGET SUMMARY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT
ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Town Manager is the Chief Executive and Administrative Officer for the Town of Avon and oversees all operations and
activities of the Town. The expenditures for the Town Manager are accounted for entirely in General Government and not
dispersed proportionately among departments and funds.

ADMINISTRATION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Police Department is lead by the Police Chief, a Deputy Chief and six (6) Sergeants. The Police Chief spends 80%
in general administration with 20% contributed to the oversight of community policing programs, including time on law
enforcement committees and community organizations. The Deputy Chief provides general administration
approximately 95% of time, including time on law enforcement committees and community organizations with the
balance spent in the field. Each of the four Patrol Sergeant's oversees three (3) police officers (when at full staffing)
while the Detective Sergeant supervises a detective and major programs such as police training. There is a part time
(.75) sergeant who assists with patrol firearms training, virtual simulator, SWAT training, patrol coverage, special events,
employment background investigations, reserve police academy, extra duty requests and other assigned projects.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS YEAR
BUDGET SUMMARY: POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Avon Police Department is a full service municipal law enforcement agency responsible for 24/7 police protection in
the Town of Avon for over 40 years. Avon police employees strive to meet the Department’s Mission Statement of “We
serve to better our community” and to fulfill our motto of "Count on Us!", employing community policing strategies on a
day-to-day basis to ensure the safety and security of our residents and guests in Avon.
DEPARTMENT EXPENDITURES BY CATEGORY
The most significant changes to the 2022 budget relate to reinstating some COVID related cuts from the 2020 and 2021
budgets. The most significant are town wide merit increases for staff after no merit increases for the last two years.
There is a request to purchase two new patrol vehicles to replace the holdover/retired vehicles that we have been using
for two of our sergeants and to put the vehicles on a replacement schedule.
The COVID/economy related budget reductions in the 2021 budget included deferring the replacement of police radios
for a second year, deferring the replacement of radars for a second year, not sending two officers to Police Memorial
Week in Washington D.C., deferring $6k in ballistic shields, $2.5k for a patrol bike, $1.5k in audio visual repair and $25k
for overtime support to the Vail PD/ Eagle County Sheriff’s Office GRANITE drug task force. We have requested
reinstatement of the majority of these cuts back into 2022 to include a modest increase in the radio and radar budgets to
catch back up with the capital replacement cycle over the next four years. Additionally, we are requesting a modest
increase to the training budget, comparatively to other agencies, our budget is quite low, we rely on state grants that
have reduced over the last few years and also due to increased training requirements derived from Senate Bill 2020-
217.
Finally, we are proposing purchasing a new less lethal handheld restraint tool called a Bola Wrap, which emits an eight-
foot Kevlar tether that warps around a person’s legs or arms. This is in an ongoing effort to try and resolve use of force
incidents with a minimum of injury to the subject and officers involved.

Mobility will continue to support the Regional Transit Authority formation effort. Unfortunately, COVID-19 will continue to
impact transit service into 2022. While bus capacity limits have been removed, protective personnel equipment is still
required. The Level of Service for the Skier Express and Restaurant shuttle will return to normal operations. In addition,
Mobility is looking forward to the arrival of two new, all-electric, transit buses. We will continue to partner with
stakeholders for a regional ebikeshare program. CDOT will be expanding its Bustang service with a new Pegasus line.
Pegasus is a weekend transit service provided by smaller vans that can use the Mountain Express Lanes. Service will
be from Avon Station to Denver Union Station and their vans will be housed in the ARTF. A significant milestone was
reached with the Revitalizing Main Street grant award in support of safer pedestrian mobility on US6. The design and
construction of the Stonebridge Dr. Roundabout and three (3) pedestrian crossings on US6 will be underway.

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Scott Wright, Assistant Town Manager and Finance Director
RE: Ordinance 21-11: Community Housing Short-term Rental Tax
DATE: October 18, 2021
SUMMARY: Ordinance 21-11 - Community Housing Short-term Rental Tax was passed at first reading by
Town Council on September 14. On September 28 the ordinance was presented for second reading and a
public hearing was opened. Upon the Town Manager's suggestion, the public hearing and action on
second reading was continued to October 26 in order for the new Town Attorney to have time to review the
ordinance.
Since first reading there have been revisions to the new Chapter 3.29 as originally presented. For
comparison purposes a red-line version of the new Chapter 3.29 has been included in this report as
Attachment B. Staff believes these revisions are non-substantive and administrative in nature.
The ordinance codifies a 2% Short-term Rental Tax as a dedicated funding source for Community Housing.
The Tax would be applicable to short-term rentals of less than 30 days for any property that is not
assessed as commercial property.
The ordinance would be effective January 1, 2022 provided that the ballot question referred to the Eagle
County Clerk and Recorder by the Avon Town Council on August 24 is approved by Avon voters at the
general election on November 2, 2021.
BACKGROUND: The 2018 Town of Avon Community Housing Plan states a goal to secure additional
local funds for housing and to seek opportunities for new funding sources.
The Town of Avon does not currently have a dedicated funding source for Community Housing. The Avon
Town Council took action in 2020 to allow transfers of up to 10% of the Real Estate Transfer Tax each year
towards Community Housing. The Town of Avon is experiencing a shortage of community housing units. A
consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic is a significant influx of urban remote workers who are able to
afford higher real estate prices than local residents and Eagle County employees, which has increased real
estate prices dramatically over the last 18 months.
ANALYSIS: The detailed provisions included in the ordinance provide the administrative processes
necessary as to the collection of the Community Housing Short-term Rental Tax. As stated above, the Tax
would not apply to hotel units, accommodations or short-term rental units classified as commercial property
by the Eagle County Assessor. The Tax is in addition to other taxes that pertain to the rental of short-term
accommodations of less than 30 days.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: A two percent Short-Term Rental Excise Tax is estimated to generate
approximately $1.5 million annually and would be used exclusively for housing initiatives including housing
developments and housing programs and related activities.
PROPOSED MOTION: "Move to approve Ordinance 21-11, an ordinance amending Chapter 3 of the Avon
Municipal Code by the addition of a new Chapter 3.29 implementing voter approval by the Town of Avon
electorate of the Community Housing Short-term Rental Tax."
Thank you, Scott

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager
RE: Frontgate Avon Condominiums and Townhomes 38460 Highway 6 Development Agreement Amendments
DATE: October 12, 2021
SUMMARY: The attached Development Agreement (“Attachment A”) encompasses obligations and
expectations for a potential project (Plans LINK) (Elevations LINK) located at 36460 Highway 6. The
Development Agreement would be between prospective new owners, BGV Avon, LLC, and the Town of
Avon. It updates a previous agreement, and incorporates Council’s comments from the September 28,
2021 review.
OVERVIEW OF CHANGES: Interim Town Attorney Karl Hanlon reviewed the Development Agreement and
assisted with revisions. The following changes and notes were incorporated to respond to Council
comments.
• References to timeshares were deleted throughout. Zoning does not allow timeshares so this
language seemed to confuse more than clarify.
• Association Governing Documents definition revised to clarify they are recorded and run with the
land.
• Development Plan definition revised to better reference exact document.
• Phase 1 and Phase 2 better defined throughout.
• Clarified 3.1 Term.
• Added 4.2 Security for Public Improvements.
• Clarified 4.3 Timing of Public Improvements.
• Clarified that 5.1 Water Rights/Cash in Lieu Payment is for Water rights.
• Added 5.5. to state that water limitations survive any termination of the Agreement.
• Clarified requirements of 7.2 Community Housing Units.
• Clarified the timing of 8.3 Return of Funds.
• Better defined a variety of provisions in Article X – Association Matters.
OPTIONS: The Town Council can take any of the following actions:
• Approve Development Agreement as drafted; or
• Approved with modifications; or
• Continue to future meeting.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to approve the Development Agreement amendments for Frontgate
Avon Condominiums and Townhomes.”
Thank you, Eric

use such funds to cover the costs of any required restoration work. The Town shall maintain
an accounting of such costs and once restoration work is completed, the Town shall return
any remaining funds along with such accounting. If the funds are insufficient to perform the
restoration work, the Owner, upon demand from the Town, shall deposit additional required
funds as determined by the Town. If the Owner fails to provide such funds, the Town’s
costs of restoration over the amount of funds current held, shall be a lien upon the Property
to be collected in the same manner as property tax and the Town may certify such amount to
the County Assessor for collection, including an additional 10% imposed by the Town for
costs of collection.

Development, the Town shall refund 50% of the restoration funds to the Owner. After the

EXHIBIT A
AMENITY FEES
Amenities Fee.
Commencing as of a first-time sale and conveyance of a Fractional Interest to a third-party
purchaser and continuing in perpetuity with respect to such Fractional Interest, the Owner or
property owner's association for any Fractional Interest Ownership subdivision within the
Colorado World Resorts condominium project ("Association") is obligated to collect from each
Fractional Interest Owner and remit to the Town on a semi-annual basis an Amenities Fee in the
initial amount of $39.30 per year per Fractional Interest or the equivalent if conveyed in some
Fractional Interest other than a one-week period.
The Owner is exempt from the obligation for the Amenities Fee until the first-time sale of a
Fractional Interest. The provisions for the obligation for each Fractional Interest Owner to pay
shall be a covenant running with the land and reflected accordingly on the Resubdivision Plat and
Association covenants. Prior to the assignment of this Agreement to an Association, the Owner
shall be obligated to collect and remit any and all Amenities Fees.
The amount of the semi-annual payments will be calculated according to the following formula:
Number of existing or newly deeded fractional interests per semiannual period (January-
June, calculated as of June 1, and July-December calculated as of December 1), multiplied by an
amount equivalent to $39.30 per weekly interest (as adjusted by CPI-U, as defined below), divided
by 2.
The due dates for the semiannual payment are August 20 and February 20 for the previous
semiannual calculation period.
On January 1, 2020, and on the first day of each year thereafter, the amount of the fee shall
be increased, but not decreased, by the percentage increase from the prior year average consumer
price index for All Urban Consumers for the Denver-Boulder-Greeley metropolitan area as
published semiannually and appearing in the January and July issues of the CPI Detailed. Report
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "CPI-U"). In the event that the CPI-U remains the
same as the prior year or decreases from the prior year, the amount of the fee shall not be adjusted
for that year.
It shall be the duty of the Association to keep and preserve such records as are necessary to
determine the amount of fees due hereunder. Such records shall be preserved for a period of three
years and shall be open for inspection by representatives of the Town during regular business
hours. Prior to the formation of the Association, the Owner shall have the above-referenced
obligation to keep and preserve such records.
If a remittance to the Town is delinquent, or the remittance is less than the full amount due, the
Town shall make a written demand of the amount due and deliver or mail the same to the office of
the Association. The amount properly determined to be owing shall bear interest from the due date
ATTACHMENT B: Frontgate COMPARISON
Development Agreement: BGV Avon LLC – Town of Avon

of the remittance at the rate of one and one-half percent per month until paid. Prior to formation
of the Association such written demand will be delivered to the Owner.

BACKGROUND: The concept for housing at Swift Gulch originated in a 2015 planning effort where multiple Town
properties and facilities were being studied. The Swift Gulch Master Plan Update identified the “upper bench” of Swift
Gulch as a candidate for housing. In 2018, the Town-Owned Properties Plan the Community Housing Plan solidified
interest and direction in pursuing a project on this parcel.
On July 30, 2021, a RFP was posted to bidnet direct to solicit interested firms and teams with experience planning
and designing Community Housing projects. Of the proposals received, staff narrowed the field to four (4) firms to
interview. An interview and selection committee was established, including: Councilor Lindsay Hardy, Town
Manager Eric Heil, Town Engineer Justin Hildreth, Planning Director Matt Pielsticker, and Eagle County Resiliency
Director Tori Franks.
The range of relevant experience, creative expertise and ability to work successfully in a public process to
develop the site varied across the firms. 2757 Design Co (and assembled team) was selected as the
preferred firm based on approach, depth of experience and programming expertise housing projects. Of
particular interest was their recent local experience assisting the Eagle County School District through a
similar process and project. Staff then worked with the firm to modify the services to contemplate a front-
loaded design process to develop block diagrams and density study to better understand the Swift Gulch
capacity. After the initial site design alternatives are developed (December), the potential public partnerships
will reconvene in early 2022 to analyze and confirm project direction.
SCHEDULE: The design process is expected to take approximately six months. As mentioned, we
envision a pause once enough material is provided to fully understand potential size and scale of a project,
so that stakeholders have the chance to ‘buy in’ and the Town can execute any contemporaneous
agreements. Upon completion of the design services, a presentation will be made to Town Council for
approval and then construction documentation can proceed under a separate contract.
PROJECT FUNDING: While partnerships are in the infancy stage, it is anticipated that other agencies will
be interested and able to contribute to a project based upon agreed to terms and inventory after
construction. Staff will begin modeling financing mechanisms, expected revenue, and a complete
construction proforma as data is available. The Federal Recovery Funds will be evaluated for potential
use, in particular for front end utility work that would be necessary to connect the site with nearby facilities.

PROJECT SITE: The project site measures approximately 2 acres. Surrounding the site is open space to
the west, north, and east. The regional transportation facility and fleet maintenance building are nearby to
the south. Various public works functions originate in the vicinity: cinder storage, covered equipment
storage, parking, etc. The site may be reduced on the south side to allow for construction of additional
Public Works facilities and improvements, which may include covered or indoor garage storage for snow
plows and covered storage for cinders.
SCOPE OF SERVICES: Services are detailed in Exhibit A to the PSA, and generally include:
(a) Site Planning & Charrette: Site driveway access, parking, Public Works vehicle storage, cinder
storage, and site/building programming for the intended uses.
(b) Civil Engineering: Utility design and opinion of probable cost for utility extensions for full build
out of the site. JVA provides these professional services.
(c) Concept Plans & 3D Modeling: Graphic studies and concept plans for full buildout and
potential phasing of the construction. Concept Plans will include building footprints, building
elevations, preliminary site layout including parking, grading, utilities, drainage and retaining
walls, 3-D studies, and site cross sections.

employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Contractor will take affirmative action
to ensure applicants are employed, and employees are treated during employment without regard to their
race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to the following:
employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination;
rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship.
9.4 Binding Effect. The Parties agree that this Agreement, by its terms, shall be binding upon the

a contractual relationship with, cause of action in favor of, or claim for relief for, any third party, including
any agent, sub-consultant or sub-contractor of Contractor. Absolutely no third-party beneficiaries are
intended by this Agreement. Any third-party receiving a benefit from this Agreement is an incidental and

and requirements of TABOR by the execution of this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that this
Agreement does not create a multi-fiscal year direct or indirect debt or obligation within the meaning of
TABOR and, therefore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all payment obligations
of the Town are expressly dependent and conditioned upon the continuing availability of funds beyond the
term of the Town's current fiscal period ending upon the next succeeding December 31. Financial
obligations of the Town payable after the current fiscal year are contingent upon funds for that purpose
being appropriated, budgeted, and otherwise made available in accordance with the rules, regulations, and
resolutions of the Town, and other applicable law. Upon the failure to appropriate such funds, this
Agreement shall be terminated.
9.7 Governing Law, Venue, and Enforcement. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted
according to the law of the State of Colorado. Venue for any action arising under this Agreement shall be
in the appropriate court for Eagle County, Colorado and the parties consent and agree to the jurisdiction of
such courts. To reduce the cost of dispute resolution and to expedite the resolution of disputes under this
Agreement, the Parties hereby waive any and all right either may have to request a jury trial in any civil
action relating primarily to the enforcement of this Agreement. The Parties agree the rule providing
ambiguities in a contract are to be construed against the drafting party shall not apply to the interpretation
of this Agreement. If there is any conflict between the language of this Agreement and any exhibit or
attachment, the language of this Agreement shall govern.
9.8 Survival of Terms and Conditions. The Parties understand and agree that all terms and
conditions of the Agreement that require continued performance, compliance, or effect beyond the
termination date of the Agreement shall survive such termination date and shall be enforceable in the event
of a failure to perform or comply.
9.9 Assignment and Release. All or part of the rights, duties, obligations, responsibilities, or benefits
set forth in this Agreement shall not be assigned by Contractor without the express written consent of the
Town Council. Any written assignment shall expressly refer to this Agreement, specify the particular rights,
duties, obligations, responsibilities, or benefits so assigned, and shall not be effective unless approved by
resolution or motion of the Town Council. No assignment shall release the Applicant from performance of
PSA-Two Seven Inc. dba: 2757 design co. Oct 26, 2021 Page 11 of 14

not knowingly employ or contract with an illegal alien who will perform work under the public contract for
services and that the Contractor will participate in the e-verify program or department program in order to
confirm the employment eligibility of all employees who are newly hired for employment to perform work
under the public contract for services. The Contractor is prohibited from using either the e-verify program
or the department program procedures to undertake pre-employment screening of job applicants while this
Agreement is being performed. If the Contractor obtains actual knowledge that a subcontractor performing
work under this Agreement knowingly employs or contracts with an illegal alien, the Contractor shall be
required to notify the subcontractor and the Town within three (3) days that the Contractor has actual
knowledge that a subcontractor is employing or contracting with an illegal alien. The Contractor shall
terminate the subcontract if the subcontractor does not stop employing or contracting with the illegal alien
within three (3) days of receiving the notice regarding Contractor’s actual knowledge. The Contractor shall
not terminate the subcontract if, during such three days, the subcontractor provides information to establish
that the subcontractor has not knowingly employed or contracted with an illegal alien. The Contractor is
required to comply with any reasonable request made by the Department of Labor and Employment made
in the course of an investigation undertaken to determine compliance with this provision and applicable
state law. If the Contractor violates this provision, the Town may terminate this Agreement, and the

9.16 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor shall indemnify and defend the Town,
its members, affiliates, officers, directors, partners, employees, and agents (collectively referred to as the
“Town” for the purposes of this Section 9.16) from and against all claims, damages, losses and expenses,
including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees (collectively referred to “Losses”), arising out of the

negligent act or omission of (i) Contractor, (ii) anyone directly or indirectly employed by Contractor or (iii)
anyone for whose acts Contractor may be liable; and (b) such indemnification shall not apply to the extent

attributable to the Contractor or the Contractor's agents, representatives, subcontractors, or suppliers. If
the Contractor is a person or entity providing architectural, engineering, surveying, or other design services,

Recommendation
TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council
FROM: Matt Pielsticker, Planning Director
RE: PUBLIC HEARING and Second Reading of Ordinance 21-13
Adopting the 2021 Avon Community Housing Plan
DATE: October 14, 2021
SUMMARY: The Avon Community Housing Plan (“Plan”) was adopted by Avon Town Council (“Council”)
with passage of Ordinance 18-07 Adopting the Avon Community Housing Plan on August 28, 2018.
Since adoption, several housing related efforts have taken place. Those activities are summarized below. The
purpose of the Plan amendments is to update the Town’s policy direction moving forward with Community
Housing projects. Council initiated the process to update and revise the Avon Community Housing Plan as
part of adopting Department goals for 2021.
Additional revisions were based on Town Council’s review on October 12, 2021 for first reading. Ordinance
21-13 (“Attachment A”, which includes a clean version of the updated Plan) is drafted to approve the Plan
amendments. A redline (“Attachment B”) of the Plan are also attached for Council review and final
consideration. All changes to the Plan since first reading are tracked and incorporated in both attachments.
NOTE: Staff will add representative pictures and graphics to the Plan document in the 30-day period after
adoption, before posting.
ACTION ACTIONS:
• Approve 2nd Reading of Ordinance 21-13, as drafted; or
• Approve 2nd Reading of Ordinance 21-13, with modifications; or
• Continue PUBLIC HEARING and 2nd Reading of Ordinance 21-13 to November 9, 2021.
RECOMMENDATION: The attached Plan amendments have been vetted and updated based upon
Planning and Zoning Commission (“PZC”), Town Council, and staff reviews. I find that the changes bring
the document up to speed with current policy directives. The amendments provide clear direction moving
forward, while being broad enough to explore new ideas and opportunities in the future. I recommend
approval of second reading and adoption of the amended Plan.
PROCESS: The Plan is defined as a supplement to the Avon Comprehensive Plan. Procedures for
amendments to the Avon Comprehensive Plan include a public hearing and recommendation from PZC to
the Town Council. The PZC conducted a number of work sessions and held a public hearing on October 5,
2021. They made a recommendation for approval at the October 5, 2021 meeting, and their findings for
such recommendation have been incorporated into the Ordinance. The Town Council shall render the final
decision after two readings of an Ordinance and conducting a published public hearing.

Page 2 of 3
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The following policies and projects have been completed or are currently in
process:
• Tax and Fee Waiver Ordinance approved by Town Council for Community Housing projects
• Mi Casa Deed Restriction Purchase Program, with 19 units to date.
• Wildwood Housing Plan Work Session with public input
• Wildridge Survey / Wildwood & Firehouse with Public input
• Inclusionary Housing Regulations and Fee in Lieu Resolution
• Completed Reserve Study for Wildwood South Deed Restricted Units. Council approved a
Resolution to waive sales tax and fees related to eventual roofing and siding project.
• Amendments to Light Industrial Zone District to permit and promote Community Housing
REVIEW CRITERIA: According to Section §7.16.030(c) of the Development Code, the following criteria are
to be used when evaluating the Plan:
(1) The surrounding area is compatible with the land use proposed in the plan amendment
or the proposed land use provides an essential public benefit and other locations are not
feasible or practical;
(2) Transportation services and infrastructure have adequate current capacity, or planned
capacity, to serve potential traffic demands of the land use proposed in the plan
amendment;
(3) Public services and facilities have adequate current capacity, or planned capacity, to
serve the land use proposed in the plan amendment;
(4) The proposed land use in the plan amendment will result in a better location or form of
development for the Town, even if the current plan designation is still considered
appropriate;
(5) Strict adherence to the current plan would result in a situation neither intended nor in
keeping with other key elements and policies of the plan;
(6) The proposed plan amendment will promote the purposes stated in this Development
Code; and,
(7) The proposed plan amendment will promote the health, safety or welfare of the Avon
Community and will be consistent with the general goals and policies of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan.
CRITERIA RESPONSE: Since adoption of the Plan in 2018, the implementation of housing policies have
yielded new employee units and secured restrictions on existing free market units through the Mi Casa
program. The Plan amendments respond to further changes in the market, an d also seek to shift focus to
addressing other land use impacts (i.e. progression toward more short term rental properties) that have
been emerging. Not only have housing construction and ownership costs been escalating quicker than
ever, rental rates and inventory have not kept pace with the demand as new residents and guests continue
to seek out the experience of mountain life in Avon.
Review Criteria (1) through (5) are not applicable as this is not a change in land use(s), per se. The Plan
promotes the health, safety and welfare of the Avon Community with a concerted effort toward new housing
opportunities and maintaining existing affordable stock. The Plan complies with the purpose statements of
the Development Code, including but not limited to Development Code Section 7.04.030 (n): “Achieve a
Page 3 of 3
diverse range of attainable housing which meets the housing needs created by jobs in the Town, provides a
range of housing types and price points to serve a complete range of life stages and promotes a balanced,
diverse and stable full time residential community which is balanced with the visitor economy;”
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: Council identified Short Term Rentals as an important influence on
Community Housing. Language has been added to provide a str uctured approach to revisit Avon’s current
Short Term Rental Overlay District and consider revisions to these regulations.
Revisions to the Investment Guidelines include additional language to better frame these considerations as
guidelines along with acknowledgement that it is rare for any specific property to squarely meet all the
guidelines.
Overall, the work completed since 2018 has been significant and has laid the foundation for the Town of
Avon to take larger steps forward over the next three years to increase Community Housing opportunities in
Avon.
Thank you, Matt

2021 Avon Community Housing Plan
“Avon’s vision is to provide a high quality of life, today and in the
future, for a diverse population; and to promote their ability to live,
work, visit, and recreate in the community.”
- TOWN OF AVON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, MAY 2017
INTRODUCTION: The Town of Avon seeks to build upon its long history as a high amenity year-round resort
community through the adoption of the 2021 Avon Community Housing Plan and implementation of the
strategies within. The Comprehensive Plan sets a vision for diverse opportunities for residents, businesses,
and visitors. The current housing market, which offers very few affordable opportunities for year-round
residents to put down roots in Avon, poses a challenge to this vision.
The potential community benefits of increasing Community Housing efforts include:
•More housing choices;
•Increased economic stability and a more active year-round economy for local residents and
businesses;
•Greater ability to retain individuals and families throughout life and career phases, strengthening the
sense of community, opportunity, and quality of life;
•Increase Community Housing supply for job recruitment purposes;
•Create Community Housing in closer proximity to job centers with pedestrian connections and
availability of transit, in alignment with the Climate Action Plan goals; and
•More full time residents to sustain arts and culture activities.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: The Comprehensive Plan sets two housing goals (each with numerous
supporting policies):
•Achieve a diverse range of housing densities, styles, and types, including rental and for sale, to serve
all segments of the population.
•Coordinate with neighboring communities to provide an attainable housing program that incorporates
both rental and ownership opportunities, affordable for local working families.
Goals and Objectives of this Housing Plan are as follows:
•Support the establishment of a dedicated funding source to sustain the Community Housing Fund;
•Focus on increasing deed restricted homeownership opportunities for households making
equivalent of 140% or less of the Area Median Income (“AMI”). A household of three earning
140% AMI is expected to be able to afford a home price of $571,000 in 2021.
2021 Avon Community Housing Plan Adopted August 24, 2018 Updated and Re-Adopted October 26, 2021 Page 2 of 10
•Grow the inventory of homeownership and “missing middle” inventory, in place of additional rental
housing stock, to create a more balanced portfolio with a long-term goal of more home ownership
opportunities;
•When considering new rental housing, prioritize price point, quality and amenities attractive to “step
up” renters and seniors looking to downsize, focusing on the 80-120% AMI level;
•Stabilize or increase the percentage of owner-occupied year-round residents; currently 56.5% of all
dwelling units in Avon are owner-occupied by year-round residents;
•Stabilize or increase the percentage of Qualified Employees residing in Avon;
•Seek to add deed restricted units to the inventory through the Mi Casa program and other
mechanisms;
•Partner with other communities and entities (i.e. Habitat for Humanity, Vail, Eagle County), and
private employers to combine buying power and construct new housing units:
•As sites redevelop, strive for “no net loss” of units in the 80-120% AMI range, and when possible,
increase housing serving the local year-round population; and
•Re-evaluate goals and objectives on an annual basis, including the ongoing monitoring of new
projects and housing stock in the mid-valley; appendices may be updated by Community
Development Department pending updated information.
The challenges with regard to housing needs are significant. With this Plan, the Town of Avon is setting goals,
objectives, and action steps to respond. The Town’s resources include land, funding, staff time, and policy
making. Recognizing that the Town of Avon alone cannot address the housing need, these resources will be
used to leverage opportunities and create partnerships.
COMMUNITY HOUSING DEMAND: Since 2010, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, unfilled job openings
and population have been increasing much more rapidly than housing inventory, creating many challenges:
•Employers facing unfilled positions, turnover, higher training costs, and lost productivity;
•Precipitous increases in home prices, well beyond the means of most local residents;
•Loss of historically affordable purchase options to short term rental (STR) use;
•Extremely low vacancy rates, resulting in limited choices and rising costs for renters;
•Negative impacts on individuals and families, who are spending a disproportionate amount of their
income on housing, commuting long distances, and living in locations or situations that are not
sustainable for the long term; and
•Difficulty for growing families seeking permanent housing or upsizing due to escalating costs.
It is important to review the availability of properties that are attainable for local and evaluate the percentage
of homes purchased for primary residency in these neighborhoods. The median price for all dwelling units
sold in Avon in 2020 was $575,000. Condominiums accounted for 72% of these sales, with a median price
of $575,000. The median price for single family dwellings, duplexes and townhomes was $987,500. A family

of three with a median income makes approximately $90,000 per year. This income cannot support mortgage
payments for any median price dwelling units in Avon.
The rental market is similarly challenging for local residents. Vacancy rates have been approaching zero,
and since 2007, average rental rates have risen 48% across the Eagle River Valley. Recent rental projects
have experienced an accelerated cost as compared to increases in the consumer index. Projects completed
in 2021 have included rental rates between $1,320 for a studio to over $3,000 per month for a 3-bedroom
unit.
To meet the needs of local employees in the Eagle River Valley, it is estimated that over 5,900 additional
dwelling units will be required by 2025.1 In the “mid-valley”, which includes Eagle-Vail, Avon, and Edwards,
1,500 dwelling units will be needed to accommodate a growing population. It is anticipated that subsidies or
public/private partnerships will be required to make it financially feasible to construct a majority of these
dwelling units.
Avon and the rest of the “mid-valley” are highly desired locations for local residents. In a 2018 survey of Eagle
River Valley households, 40% of renters and 39% of owners selected “mid-valley” as their first choice for
where they want to live.2
STRENGTHS AND ASSETS: Avon can build upon existing assets and previous housing initiatives, including:
• Adoption of the Mi Casa Avon deed restriction purchase program, with 19 deed restricted units in
the first year.
• Several large-scale Town-sponsored rental projects in the 1990s and 2000s, resulting in an
inventory of 544 price-controlled units,
• 63 deed restricted for sale units that were a result of successful PUD negotiations;
• A Community Housing Fund balance of $1,150,000. As the Community Housing Fund increases,
the additional funds should be leveraged to meet the goals of the plan;
• Community Housing mitigation requirements for new multi-family and commercial development;
• History of regional collaboration with public sector, non-profit and private sector on housing issues;
• Significant opportunities for development and redevelopment, with water rights, transit access, and
existing available density on vacant and underutilized public and private parcels;
• Codified Community Housing tax and fee waiver incentives;
• Allowing increased deed-restricted residential density on commercially zoned land that may also
be appropriate for residential development; and
• Adopted Comprehensive Plan, which sets housing as a top policy priority.

TOOLS AND STRATEGIES: The following tools and strategies are identified as means to achieve the stated
goals and objectives. Tools and strategies are organized into three categories: Housing Policy, Community
Housing Development and Retention, and Funding. Appendix C includes an updated inventory of all policy
and related Community Housing strategies implemented since this Plan was originally adopted.
Housing Policy
The Town of Avon seeks to use both incentives and regulations to create a policy environment that is
favorable for local housing. The Town has a strong track record in including Community Housing in PUD
approvals. The Town will continue to require community housing mitigation for new planning approvals.
Initiatives to update and strengthen housing policies will include the regular review of existing code provisions
for opportunities to increase the year-round occupancy of the existing housing stock, including consideration
of short term rentals, accessory dwelling units, and lock-off incentives and regulations. Exploring the
regulation of accessory dwelling units in the Wildridge Subdivision may result in additional housing options.
Additionally, the Mi Casa program must be reviewed routinely to determine its effectiveness and whether
changes to the parameters of the program are necessary given the rapidly changing market conditions.
Exploring buy down of free market units to be included in Mi Casa can be evaluated.
Short Term Rentals
Short Term Rentals have grown in popularity nationwide and have the potential to adversely impact the
availability of residential housing for long-term rental opportunities. The Town of Avon has a mixture of
neighborhoods which do not allow Short Term Rentals (i.e. Wildridge) along with neighborhoods where Short
Term Rentals were planned and permitted before the adoption of the Short Term Rental Overlay District. A
top priority is to evaluate Short Term Rentals and consider revisions to the existing Short Term Rental
regulations, including but not limited to:
• Evaluation of properties which operate as a condo-hotel or timeshare; have traditionally hosted
Short Term Rentals; provide amenities that are visitor oriented; or are in close proximity to Avon’s
commercial core.
• Evaluation of residential properties that have traditionally not had a significant number of Short
Term Rental licenses or units; or are in proximity to community anchors, such as the Avon
elementary school, which are more oriented for full-time resident use.
• Reconsideration of the existing boundaries of the Short Term Rental Overlay District.
• Consideration of a second tier Short Term Rental Overlay that requires owner occupancy of the
residence while allowing Short Term Rental of a portion of the residence to defray housing costs.
• Consideration of minimum standards for operation and maintenance of Short Term Rental units.
• Review of Short Term Rental regulations adopted by other mountain resort communities, including
a cap on licenses.
Community Housing Development and Retention
2021 Avon Community Housing Plan Adopted August 24, 2018 Updated and Re-Adopted October 26, 2021 Page 5 of 10
Cultivating additional public/private partnerships with Eagle County, other municipalities, and local
employers are imperative when fostering new opportunities for housing development and retention. Given
the lack of available land and escalating construction prices, bold measures must be taken with these
partners to make a measurable impact on housing stock. Collaborative partnerships must include land
acquisition and producing shovel ready plans in the short term. Leveraging partnerships with state and
federal housing assistance money and grants will be imperative.
A top priority is pursuing housing development on Town owned land. Development of housing on the Swift
Gulch property is the best opportunity to build new housing product on Town owned land. The Town of Avon
Properties Plan identified development of Swift Gulch as a priority and it continues to be viewed as a prime
property for new housing development.
Preliminary site and design analysis for Swift Gulch takes place in 2021 and 2022, and will include a detailed
financial analysis and exploration of public/private partnerships.
To preserve attainable housing that is currently at risk of being lost to locals through rapid price increases
and/or redevelopment two strategies are identified. One strategy is to “buy-down” market rate units and
preserve their affordability by reducing the resale price and adding permanent deed restriction. Mi Casa will
continue to grow and evolve as the primary source of new deed restricted Community Housing stock
preserved for local residents.
Another strategy is to explore zoning protections or development incentives that will maintain affordability of
our mobile home community, to preserve properties that currently house locals. Zoning protections could
include a special zoning category to be applied so that redevelopment for other uses is barred. Or in the
event of redevelopment, density and affordability are maintained.
Investing in maintenance of current inventory of deed restricted housing is an important component of
housing development and retention. Much of the affordable rental housing inventory has recently been
renovated, however, the homeownership inventory needs capital planning and reinvestment. The Town can
assist our deed restricted multi-family projects by coordinating capital needs assessments and making a plan
for funding and implementing capital improvements. This effort is anticipated to begin in 2022.
Funding
Local funding is a key ingredient to building and maintaining housing units. Investing (or “leveraging”) local
funds is essential to attracting the outside funding sources such as grants, loans, tax credits and private
investments that, when combined, make housing development financially feasible.. It is anticipated that the
Avon Community Housing Fund will be invested in the efforts outlined in this Plan, and that additional funds
will be needed moving forward.
A two-step process is envisioned to secure additional local funds for housing. The first step will be to
review current revenue streams and determine if additional funds can be directed to housing efforts through
the annual budgeting process. In order to build upon the strength of an increased Avon Community Housing
Fund, the Town must then seek opportunities for new funding sources, which could include approaches
2021 Avon Community Housing Plan Adopted August 24, 2018 Updated and Re-Adopted October 26, 2021 Page 6 of 10
such as increased linkage fees, use tax on construction materials, regional collaboration, and/or support for
a local ballot initiative. Potential revenue from a use tax, for the sole purpose of supplying the Community
Housing Fund, were modeled and presented to Planning and Zoning Commission and the Finance
Committee for consideration in 2021. Public/private partnerships are also a funding strategy, generating
potential access to grants, below market loans, and resources such as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit.
The Town of Avon understands the regional nature of housing, transportation and employment in the Eagle
River Valley. In pursuit of local year-round housing, the Town will continue to participate in regional studies,
seek opportunities to participate in regionally significant housing developments beyond Town boundaries,
and participate in employer forums, and be an advocate for other regional initiatives including the
establishment of a regional transit authority.
INVESTMENT GUIDELINES: The Town must invest limited financial resources wisely to meet the goals of
this Community Housing Plan. The Town recognizes that Community Housing development opportunities
are often specific and unique to an available property, potential partnerships, and financial guidelines for
state and federal funding; therefore, differences are expected between ideal projects that clearly meet all
guidelines and possible projects. Community Housing programs and projects are not expected to meet all
guidelines described below. Rather, the following guidelines are intended to assist with the evaluation of
proposed programs and projects. These guidelines are not intended to be exhaustive and additional
considerations may be relevant.
• The program, policy or project meets the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan and this
Community Housing Plan;
• The investment bridges a financial gap between free market conditions and Community Housing
economics that enables a potential program or project to proceed;
• The program or project encourages or incorporates resource conservation, energy efficiency,
sustainable development and climate action goals to the extent financially feasible;
• The location of the program or project has reasonable access to public services and amenities that
support full-time residential use, including schools, parks, trails, transit, multi-modal transportation
options, job centers, neighborhood commercial businesses, and public services;
• The program or project attracts and utilizes the financial participation of partners, including other
local governments, state and federal funding, non-profits, and private investors; and,
• The program or project results in positive leveraging of the Town of Avon’s financial investment.

Dedicated Funding
Source
Funding is a core component of building housing and
running successful housing programs. Few programs
begin with funding; rather finding funding is an
incremental process that goes hand in hand with creating
goals and objectives, developing policies, securing
appropriate land for housing, and moving forward with
public/private partnerships. Dedicated funding sources
take many forms including grants, fee in lieu payments,
taxes, voluntary assessments, proceeds from rents or
sales.

Affordable purchase prices were calculated assuming that a household would have 5% for a
down payment, and would qualify for a loan at 30% of their monthly income. HOA, property
taxes and insurance of 20% were included in loan amount. The maximum mortgage assumes
an interest rate of 5%, which is about half point higher than prevailing rates for 30-year fixed
rate mortgages. Interest rates are rising, however, and will have a profound impact on housing
affordability. A one-point increase in the rate, as occurred in 2013, would drop the affordable
purchase price for a median income household by $30,000 to $35,000.

2021 Avon Community Housing Plan
“Avon’s vision is to provide a high quality of life, today and in the
future, for a diverse population; and to promote their ability to live,
work, visit, and recreate in the community.”
- TOWN OF AVON COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, MAY 2017
Introduction
The Town of Avon seeks to build upon its long history as a high amenity year-round resort
community through the adoption of the Avon Community Housing Plan and implementation of the
strategies within. The Comprehensive Plan sets a vision for diverse opportunities for residents,
businesses, and visitors. The current housing market, which offers very few affordable
opportunities for year-round residents to put down roots in Avon, poses a challenge to this vision.
The potential community benefits of increasing Community Housing efforts include:
• More housing choices;
• Increased economic stability and a more active year-round economy for local residents
and businesses;
• Greater ability to retain individuals and families throughout life and career phases,
strengthening the sense of community, opportunity, and quality of life;
• Increase Community Housing supply for job recruitment purposes;
• Create Community Housing in closer proximity to job centers with pedestrian connections
and availability of transit, in alignment with the Climate Action Plan goals; and
• More full time residents to sustain arts and culture activities.
Goals and Objectives
The Comprehensive Plan sets two housing goals (each with numerous supporting policies):
• Achieve a diverse range of housing densities, styles, and types, including rental and for
sale, to serve all segments of the population.
• Coordinate with neighboring communities to provide an attainable housing program that
incorporates both rental and ownership opportunities, affordable for local working families.
Goals and Objectives of this Housing Plan are as follows:
• Support the establishment of a dedicated funding source to sustain the Community
Housing Fund;
• Focus on increasing deed restricted homeownership opportunities for households making
equivalent of 140% or less of the Area Median Income (“AMI”). A household of three is
expected to be able to afford a home price of $477,000 in 2021.
• Grow the inventory of homeownership and “missing middle” inventory, in place of
additional rental housing stock, to create a more balanced portfolio with a long-term goal
more home ownership opportunities
• When considering new rental housing, prioritize price point, quality and amenities
attractive to “step up” renters and seniors looking to downsize, focusing on the 80-120%
AMI level;

• Stabilize or increase the percentage of owner-occupied year-round residents; currently
56.5% of all dwelling units in Avon are owner-occupied by year-round residents;
• Stabilize or increase the percentage of Qualified Employees residing in Avon;
• Seek to add deed restricted units to the inventory through the Mi Casa program and other
mechanisms;
• Partner with other communities and entities (i.e. Habitat for Humanity, Vail, Eagle County),
and private employers to combine buying power and construct new housing units:
• As sites redevelop, strive for “no net loss” of units in the 80-120% AMI range, and when
possible, increase housing serving the local year-round population; and
• Re-evaluate goals and objectives on an annual basis, including the ongoing monitoring of
new projects and housing stock in the mid-valley; appendices may be updated by by
Community Development Department pending updated information.
The challenges with regard to housing needs are significant. With this Plan, the Town of Avon is
setting goals, objectives, and action steps to respond. The Town’s resources include land,
funding, staff time, and policy making. Recognizing that the Town of Avon alone cannot address
the housing need, these resources will be used to leverage opportunities and create partnerships.
The Need
Since 2010, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, unfilled job openings and population have been
increasing much more rapidly than housing inventory, creating many challenges:
• Employers facing unfilled positions, turnover, higher training costs, and lost productivity;
• Precipitous increases in home prices, well beyond the means of most local residents;
• Loss of historically affordable purchase options to short term rental (STR) use;
• Extremely low vacancy rates, resulting in limited choices and rising costs for renters;
• Negative impacts on individuals and families, who are spending a disproportionate amount
of their income on housing, commuting long distances, and living in locations or situations
that are not sustainable for the long term; and
• Difficulty for growing families seeking permanent housing or upsizing due to escalating
costs.
It is important to review the availability of properties that are attainable for local workers and
evaluate the percentage of homes purchased for primary residency in these neighborhoods. The
median price for all dwelling units sold in Avon in 2020 was $575,000. Condominiums accounted
for 72% of these sales, with a median price of $575,000. The median price for single family
dwellings, duplexes and townhomes was $987,500. A family of three with a median income makes
approximately $90,000 per year. This income cannot support mortgage payments for any median
price dwelling units in Avon..
The rental market is similarly challenging for local residents. Vacancy rates have been
approaching zero, and since 2007, average rental rates have risen 48% across the Eagle River
Valley. Recent rental projects have experienced an accelerated cost as compared to increases
in the consumer index. Projects completed in 2021 have included rental rates between $1,320
for a studio, to over $3,000 per month for a 3-bedroom unit.

To meet the needs of local employees in the Eagle River Valley, it is estimated thatover 5,900
additional dwelling units will be required by 2025.1 In “mid-valley”, which includes Eagle-Vail,
Avon, and Edwards, 1,500 dwelling units will be needed to accommodate a growing population.
It is anticipated that subsidies or public/private partnerships will be required to make it financially
feasible to construct a majority of these dwelling units.
Avon and the rest of the “mid-valley” are highly desired locations for local residents. In a 2018
survey of Eagle River Valley households, 40% of renters and 39% of owners selected “mid-valley”
as their first choice for where they want to live.2
Strengths and Assets
Avon can build upon existing assets and previous housing initiatives, including:
• Adoption of the Mi Casa Avon deed restriction purchase program, with 19 deed
restricted units in the first year.
• Several large scale Town sponsored rental projects in the 1990s and 2000s, resulting
in an inventory of 544 price-controlled housing units.
• 63 deed restricted for sale units that were a result of successful PUD negotiations;
• A Community Housing Fund balance of $1,150,000. As the Community Housing Fund
increases, the additional funds should be leveraged to meet the goals of the plan;
• Community Housing mitigation requirements for new multi-family and commercial
development;
• History of regional collaboration with public sector, non-profit and private sector on
housing issues;
• Significant opportunities for development and redevelopment, with water rights, transit
access, and existing available density on vacant and underutilized public and private
parcels;
• Codified Community Housing tax and fee waiver incentives;
• Allowing increased deed-restricted residential density on commercially zoned land that
may also be appropriate for residential development; and
• Adopted Comprehensive Plan, which sets housing as a top policy priority.
Tools and Strategies
In order to achieve these goals and objectives, the following tools and strategies should be
pursued. Tools and strategies are organized into three categories: Housing Policy, Community
Housing Development and Retention, and Funding. Appendix C includes an updated inventory of
all policy and related Community Housing strategies implemented since this Plan was originally
adopted.
Housing Policy

Housing in PUD approvals. The Town will continue to require community housing mitigation for
new planning approvals.
Initiatives to update and strengthen housing policies will include theregular review of existing code
provisions for opportunities to increase the year-round occupancy of the existing housing stock,
including consideration of short term rental, accessory dwelling units, and lock-off incentives
and regulations. Exploring the regulation of accessory dwelling units in the Wildridge subdivision
may result in additional housing options. Additionally, the Mi Casa program must be reviewed
routinely to determine its effectiveness and whether changes to the parameters of the program
are necessary given the rapidly changing market conditions. Exploring buy down of free market
units to be included in Mi Casa can be evaluated.
Short Term Rentals have grown in popularity nationwide and have the potential to adversely
impact the availability of residential housing for long-term rental opportunities. The Town of Avon
has a mixture of neighborhoods which do not allow Short Term Rentals (Wildridge) along with
neighborhoods where Short Term Rentals were planned and permitted before the adoption of the
Short Term Rental Overlay District. A top priority is to evaluate Short Term Rentals and consider
revisions to the existing Short Term Rental regulations, including but not limited to:
• Evaluation of properties which operate as a condo-hotel or timeshare; have traditionally
hosted Short Term Rentals; provide amenities that are visitor oriented; or are in close
proximity to Avon’s commercial core.
• Evaluation of residential properties that have traditionally not had a significant number of
Short Term Rental licenses or units; or are in proximity to community anchors, such as
the Avon elementary school, which are more oriented for full-time resident use.
• Reconsideration of the existing boundaries of the Short Term Rental Overlay District.
• Consideration of a second tier Short Term Rental Overlay that requires owner occupancy
of the residence while allowing Short Term Rental of a portion of the residence to defray
housing costs.
• Consideration of minimum standards for operation and maintenance of Short Term
Rental units.
• Review of Short Term Rental regulations adopted by other mountain resort communities,
including a cap on licenses.
Community Housing Development and Retention
Cultivating additional public/private partnerships with Eagle County, other municipalities, and
local employers are imperative when fostering new opportunities for housing development and
retention. Given the lack of available land and escalating construction prices, bold measures must
be taken with these partners to make a measurable impact on housing stock. Collaborative
partnerships must include land acquisition and producing shovel ready plans in the short term.
Leveraging partnerships with state and federal housing assistance money and grants will be
imperative.
A top priority is pursuing housing development on Town owned land. Development of housing
on the Swift Gulch property is the best opportunity to build new housing product on Town owned
land. The Town of Avon Properties Plan identified development of Swift Gulch as a priority and it
continues to be viewed as a prime property for new housing development.

Preliminary site and design analysis for Swift Gulch takes place in 2021 and 2022, and will include
a detailed financial analysis and exploration of public/private partnerships.
To preserve attainable housing that is currently at risk of being lost to locals through rapid price
increases and/or redevelopment two strategies are identified. One strategy is to “buy-down”
market rate units and preserve their affordability by reducing the resale price and adding a
permanent deed restriction. Mi Casa will continue to grow and evolve as the primary source of
new deed restricted Community Housing stock preserved for local residents.
Another strategy is to explore zoning protections or development incentives that will maintain
affordability of our mobile home community , to preserve properties that currently house locals.
. Zoning protections could include a special zoning category to be applied so that redevelopment
for other uses is barred. Or in the event of redevelopment, density and affordability are
maintained.
Investing in maintenance of current inventory of deed restricted housing is an important
component of housing development and retention. Much of the affordable rental housing inventory
has recently been renovated, however, the homeownership inventory needs capital planning and
reinvestment. The Town can assist our deed restricted multi-family projects by coordinatingcapital
needs assessments and making a plan for funding and implementing capital improvements. This
effort is anticipated to begin in 2022.
Funding
Local funding is a key ingredient to building and maintaining housing units. Investing (or
“leveraging”) local funds is essential to attracting the outside funding sources such as grants,
loans, tax credits and private investments that, when combined, make housing development
financially feasible.. It is anticipated that the Avon Community Housing Fund will be invested in
the efforts outlined in this Plan, and that additional funds will be needed moving forward.
A two-step process is envisioned to secure additional local funds for housing. The first step
will be to review current revenue streams and determine if additional funds can be directed to
housing efforts through the annual budgeting process. In order to build upon the strength of an
increased Avon Community Housing Fund, the Town must then seek opportunities for new
funding sources, which could include approaches such as increased linkage fees, use tax on
construction materials, regional collaboration, and/or support for a local ballot initiative. Potential
revenue from a use tax, for the sole purpose of supplying the Community Housing Fund, were
modeled and presented to Planning and Zoning Commission and the Finance Committee for
consideration in 2021. Public/private partnerships are also a funding strategy, generating potential
access to grants, below market loans, and resources such as the Low Income Housing Tax Credit.
The Town of Avon understands the regional nature of housing, transportation and employment in
the Eagle River Valley. In pursuit of local year-round housing, the Town will continue to participate
in regional studies, seek opportunities to participate in regionally significant housing
developments beyond Town boundaries, and participate in employer forums, and be an advocate
for other regional initiatives including the establishment of a regional transit authority.

The Town must invest limited financial resources wisely to meet the goals of this Community
Housing Plan. The Town recognizes that Community Housing development opportunities are
often specific and unique to an available property, potential partnerships, and financial guidelines
for state and federal funding; therefore, differences are expected between ideal projects that
clearly meet all guidelines and possible projects. Community Housing programs and projects are
not expected to meet all guidelines described below. Rather, the following guidelines are intended
to assist with the evaluation of proposed programs and projects. These guidelines are not
intended to be exhaustive and additional considerations may be relevant.
• The program, policy or project meets the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan
and this Community Housing Plan;
• The investment bridges a financial gap between free market conditions and Community
Housing economics that enables a potential program or project to proceed;
• The program or project encourages or incorporates resource conservation, energy
efficiency, sustainable development And climate action goals;
• The location of the program or project has reasonable access to public services and
amenities that support full-time residential use, including schools, parks, trails, transit,
multi-modal transportation options, job centers, neighborhood commercial businesses,
and public services;
• The program or project attracts and utilizes the financial participation of partners, including
other local governments, state and federal funding, non-profits, and private investors; and,
• The program or project results in positive leveraging of the Town of Avon’s financial
investment.

Affordable Rent $675 $1,350 $2,250 $3,150 $4,500
Affordable purchase prices were calculated assuming that a household would have 5% for a
down payment, and would qualify for a loan at 30% of their monthly income. HOA, property
taxes and insurance of 20% were included in loan amount. The maximum mortgage assumes
an interest rate of 5%, which is about half point higher than prevailing rates for 30-year fixed
rate mortgages. Interest rates are rising, however, and will have a profound impact on housing
affordability. A one-point increase in the rate, as occurred in 2013, would drop the affordable
purchase price for a median income household by $30,000 to $35,000.

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager
RE: Ord 21-12 Department Consolidation DATE: October 8, 2021
SUMMARY: This report presents Ordinance No. 21-12 to consolidate departments. Specifically, this
Ordinance will result in consolidating Public Works, Engineering, Mobility and Fleet into one Public Works
Department. Public Operations, Engineering, Mobility and Fleet would become divisions under the Public
Works Department. Council approved first reading on October 12, 2021.
My overall recommendation as the Town Manager is to consolidate from 10 Departments to 5 Departments
and create two high level leadership positions – Public Works Director and Deputy Town Manager. The
transition from existing 10 Departments to 5 Departments is proposed to be implemented in two phases,
with the first phase occurring in 2022 to consolidate Public Works, Engineering, Mobility and Fleet into one
Public Works Department. The second phase to consolidate General Government, Finance and Human
Resources is proposed for consideration in 2023 when circumstances can be evaluated during the 2023
budget process. Please see ATTACHMENT B for Phase I and Phase II Organization Charts.
BACKGROUND: Council has recognized that the number of existing Departments and direct reports to the
Town Manager is not ideal or efficient. Exploration of department re-organization to consolidate
Departments and reduce the number of direct reports has been an identified goal for 2½ years. Department
consolidation has been actively researched and discussed internally with current Department Directors.
Avon has amended Departments several times in the past 20 years. This is a chronology of the changes:
2002 Established 9 Departments: Administrative Services, Finance, Human Resources, Community
Development, Engineering, Public Works, Police, Recreation and Transportation. Ord 02-04
(NOTE: Human Resources did not have a department director from 2008 through 2015. Patty
McKenny served as Town Clerk and Director of Administrative Services and oversaw Human
Resources).
2013 Established 8 Departments; created Parks and Recreation Department and eliminated Human
Resources Department: Administrative Services, Finance, Community Development,
Engineering, Public Works, Police, Parks and Recreation and Transportation. Ord. 13-04
2015 Established 10 Departments, added Human Resources and Fleet: General Government
(formerly Administrative Services), Finance, Human Resources, Community Development,
Engineering, Public Works, Fleet, Police, Parks and Recreation and Transportation. Ord 15-08
2017 Changed the name of Transportation Department to Mobility Department. Ord. 17-21
POLICY CONSIDERATION: The goals of department consolidation include:
1. Improve strategic leadership, improve implementation of Council direction and goals, and extend our
forward thinking into meeting the needs of a growing community.
2. Improve coordination across existing Departments, especially coordination of design of new public
infrastructure with efficient operations and maintenance of such infrastructure.
Page 2 of 5
3. Reduce the number of direct reports to the Town Manager to improve the ability of the Town
Manager to provide strategic guidance and direction, allow the Town Manager to effectively allocate
time towards regional issues and partnerships, and allow greater attention towards advancing a
culture of excellence in the organization.
4. Create Town Manager succession positions. Both the Public Works Director position and a future
Deputy Town Manager Position should possess credentials that would establish these positions as
succession candidates for the Town Manager position in the future.
SPAN OF CONTROL: “Span of Control” is the term used in executive management structures to describe
the number of director reports to any one manager. A variety of management articles and
recommendations suggest a range of 5 to 9 direct reports and recognize 7 as a decent number.
“Around five direct reports seems to be the optimum number, according to Mark
and Alison, although there are some scenarios where up to nine can work.
When it comes to the senior team in a company, however, too many people
reporting directly to the owner manager can really hold the business back. Alison
recalls working with someone who had 13 people reporting directly to her. ‘She
had to do 13 appraisals at the end of every year!’ she says. ‘It simply wasn’t an
effective use of her time. She was a superb client-facing leader and developing
client relationships was where she needed to focus to grow her business.’” People
Puzzles - I've got too many direct reports!
A larger number of direct reports is appropriate for organizations which have routine, re-occurring
operations while a smaller number of direct reports is recommended for organizations with a high level of
innovation and implementation of new programs and policies.
“Dynamic environment
The final element in determining the ideal ratio of direct reports to managers is to
evaluate how dynamic the work or market environment is. As a rough rule, the
more dynamic things are, the narrower the span of control should be. For
example, if you operate in the tech industry, where new products are coming out
monthly or even weekly, you risk overloading your managers by having too many
people reporting to them. The opposite is true, of course, if you work in a very
predictable and stable environment.” Inc. How Many Direct Reports Should You Have?
The proposal to consolidate Departments from 10 Departments to 5 Departments is in response to a clear
desire by Council for Avon to innovate, rapidly implement new programs and projects, and advance a
culture of excellence.
NEAR TERM AND LONG TERM GOALS: A question was posed to me if it is better to propose a
reorganization structure that best fits the talent and experience of existing Department Directors or if it is
better to propose a structure that is the most effective for the Avon community over the long run. The
answer is that it is best to meet both goals. It is the intention of this reorganization plan to create a more
nimble organizational structure that can improve and implement best practices and advance a culture of
excellence in Town government WHILE implementing these reorganization changes at a pace that is the
Page 3 of 5
least disruptive to the current structure AND continuing to utilize the existing Department Director talent and
leadership that Avon enjoys. It is my intention and hope that this reorganization will create an efficient and
effective leadership structure that will function best for the Town of Avon for the next ten years and beyond.
INTERNAL REVIEW: The goal to implement department consolidation was introduced to the existing
Department Directors and the larger Leadership team in fall of 2020. The goal was raised again in early
2021. I asked Department Directors to meet as a team without to discuss Department consolidation and
present their perspective and recommendations. The Department Directors presented a reorganization plan
that created a consolidated Public Works Department consisting of Public Works, Engineering and Fleet
and a Deputy Town Manager position overseeing a consolidated General Government and Human
Resources Department. As proposed by the Department Directors, Finance and Mobility would continue as
separate Departments.
I appreciate the proposal by Department Directors and agree with several elements of the proposal;
however, I believe Mobility should become part of a consolidated Public Works Department to best
coordinate transit and multi-modal planning with future development and construction and believe that
Finance should become part of a consolidated General Government Department to better implement long-
range financial planning. Another important consideration for me is that both of the Department Director
positions for consolidated departments benefit from overseeing the scope of Town functions as potential
Town Manager succession candidates.
PEER COMMUNITY REVIEW: The department organization or our peer communities is as follows;
Breckenridge: 7 Departments – Administration, Community Development, Finance, Golf, Public Safety,
Public Works, Recreation. NOTE: Breckenridge currently has a consolidated Public Works
Department that is similar to the Phase I Department consolidation proposal presented in
this report.
Frisco: 6 Departments – Community Development, Finance, Public Works, Police, Marketing &
Communications, Recreation and Culture.
Silverthorne: 5 Departments – Administration, Community Development, Public Works, Police,
Recreation & Culture. NOTE: Silverthorne has a very similar structure as proposed for
Phase I and Phase II Department consolidation.
Snowmass: 10 Departments – Administration, Finance, Community Development, Public Safety,
Housing, Transportation, Tourism, Parks & Recreation, Public Works, Human Resources.
Telluride: 9 Departments – Administrative, Finance, Town Clerk, Marshall, Rental Housing, Public
Works, Parks & Recreation, Planning & Building, Historic Preservation. NOTE: Telluride
currently has a consolidated Public Works Department that is similar to the Phase I
Department consolidation proposal presented in this report.
Vail: 13 Departments – Police, Fire, Public Works/Transportation, Community Development,
Library, Town Clerk, Human Resources, Communications, Finance, Housing, Information
Technology, Economic Development, Environmental Sustainability. NOTE: Vail currently
has a consolidated Public Works Department that is similar to the Phase I Department
consolidation proposal presented in this report.
Page 4 of 5
Please see ATTACHMENT C for Peer Community Organization Charts. Breckenridge, Frisco, Silverthorne,
Telluride and Vail all have Public Works Departments that are similar to this Phase I Department
Consolidation proposal.
ENGAGEMENT PRACTICES: Consolidating departments and reducing the number of direct reports can
have the potential for reducing engagement from the Town Manager. I practice different forms of
engagement with different size groups. The reduction of direct reports is not intended nor expected to
reduce engagement. In other words, I have no intention, nor do I think it is appropriate or effective, to limit
and isolate my engagement to 5 Department Directors. See ATTACHMENT D for Engagement Chart.
INCREASED STAFF WORKLOAD: Avon staff has experienced an increased workload over the last two
years which directly impacts most Departments. New streetscape and landscaping improvements, the
introduction of ice skating, dramatic increase of public usage in Harry A. Nottingham Park and full calendar
of Special Events has increased the workload for Public Works. Construction of public improvements and
facilities has increased the workload for Engineering. The implementation and increase of Town’s
marketing activities for Town produced Special Events, implementation of Mi Casa Avon housing program,
community survey, and climate action collaborative participation have all increased the workload for
General Government and Finance. COVID-19 safety protocols and the increased rate of employee turn-
over throughout Town has increased the workload for Human Resources. Execution of the 2021
Department Goals along with the increase of general activity in Avon has kept all Department Directors
plenty busy. Due to the increase in workload over the last two years, I would not recommend eliminating or
reducing any existing Department Director positions with regard to current job descriptions and salary
ranges. The Department Reorganization will result in changes to titles and changes to the chain of
command and reporting, but will not result in any significant changes to job descriptions, duties and
responsibilities of existing Department Directors.
PHASED APPROACH: A phased approach was suggested to me, which I believe is appropriate and
practical. The higher priority is consolidating the Public Works Department and recruiting a new Public
Works Director that could ideally commence employment in the 1st quarter of 2022. A phased approach
allows for re-assessment of Town’s needs and financial position during the 2023 budget cycle. A phased
approach also minimizes disruption and staggers the administrative logistics of implementing a new
position.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Council expressed a preference to not increase the cost of executive
level personnel as part of a department consolidation. A direct comparison of “before and after” is difficult
because there are many variables and changes over the last two years. It seems most appropriate to use a
comparison of the salary of Directors that existed in fall of 2019 to this Phase I reorganization proposal. As
of this fall, the General Government Director position and the Fleet Director position are vacant and the
Recreation Director position is filled with an interim position. The ‘hold’ on filling any existing vacancies was
intentional to allow opportunity for implementation of department consolidation. At this time, executive level
expenditure is $247,045 less than in fall of 2019. The addition of a Public Works Director position to
oversee a consolidated Public Works Department would result in $87,045 less expenditures than in fall of 2019. The proposed allocation of this salary is 60% General Fund and 40% CIP Fund, which would
result in a net expenditure to the General Fund that is $151,045 less than fall of 2019.
Page 5 of 5
In comparison to fall of 2019, Phase II Department Consolidation to implement a Deputy Town Manager
position would result in a net expenditure increase to the General Fund that is $9,000 more than fall of
2019.
RECRUITMENT PROCESS: Recruitment of a new Public Works Director position would include updating
our executive recruitment brochure and Avon profile, advertisement across multiple local government
publications for leadership level positions, and involvement of stakeholder committees to review resumés
and participate in interviews. I believe it is appropriate and beneficial to include two or more Council
members in this process because this position is expected to attend all Council meetings as well as serve
an active leadership role in implementing Council goals and policy decisions.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of Ordinance No. 21-12 Amending Avon Municipal Code
Section 2.02.010 – Departments Enumerated in order to implement Phase I of Department Consolidation.
PROPOSD MOTION: “I move to approve Ordinance No. 21-12 Amending Avon Municipal Code Section

Government
The Town of Breckenridge is a political subdivision of the State of Colorado organized as a Home Rule
Municipality with a Council-Manager form of government. The Town's legislative authority is vested in
an elected seven-member Town Council, which includes the Mayor. The council shall determine policies,
enact local legislation, adopt budgets and appoint the Town Manager. The Town Manager shall execute
the laws and administer the town government.
Advisory Boards, Panels, and Commissions
In addition to the Town Council, there are volunteer Citizen Advisory boards, committees, and panels
that advise the Town Council on the proper course of action on any number of subjects. Through this
system, civic-minded citizens can get involved in Town government. The Town, in turn, benefits from
citizen knowledge, experience, and expertise.
Breckenridge Open Space Advisory Commission (BOSAC): A Town Council-appointed advisory body that
helps oversee the Town’s Open Space program. The Town’s Open Space program was established in
1997 when Town voters approved a 0.5% sales tax to be dedicated exclusively to open space acquisition
and management. BOSAC is responsible for reviewing open space activities including property
purchases, forest management, trail construction and maintenance, natural area research, and more.
BOSAC develops and approves annual work plans and provides budgetary recommendations for Town
Council consideration. BOSAC members are appointed for two-year terms by Town Council.
Liquor & Marijuana Licensing Authority: Conducts public hearings for consideration of all applications
relating to new alcohol beverage and marijuana licenses; the consideration of a change of location for a
current license; alleged violations of the Colorado Liquor and Beer Codes; and controversial issues
pertaining to the liquor/marijuana licensing process and/or laws.

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Emily Myler, General Government Intern
RE: Vehicle Idling Prevention
DATE: 10/12/2021
SUMMARY: While an individual car waiting motionless with its propulsion engine on at a drive-thru or
school pickup line may not appear to cause much harm to the environment, the impact of vehicle idling on a
population scale is enough to warrant efforts against it. The U.S. Dept. of Energy reports that idling wastes
nearly 6 billion gallons of fuel and generates 30 tons of CO2 nationally each year, with about half of that
coming from personal vehicles [Attachment 1]. Idling also attributes to noise pollution and exposes
passengers and passers-by to harmful exhaust. Several home-rule municipalities in Colorado have taken
steps to reduce idling by increasing awareness of its detriments, limiting areas where idling happens or
outlawing it altogether. Based on Avon’s commitment to sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction goals,
as well as care for public health and the quiet environment of a small town, it would be in the Avon’s best
interest to reduce emissions from vehicle idling using one or more of the measures examined in this report.
BACKGROUND: In 2011, Colorado passed House Bill 11-1275, which sets a state-wide idling limit of five
minutes in one hour and allows local municipalities to set their own limits [Attachment 2]. HB11-1275 has
exemptions for:
• Drivers stuck in traffic out of their control
• Stopping at a traffic control device such as a stop light
• Stopping at the direction of a law enforcement officer
• When heating or cooling systems must be operated for safety, not just the comfort of the
passengers
• Vehicles used to respond to an emergency or train for an emergency
• When required for maintenance, service, repairs or inspections
• If necessary for operating work-related equipment such as a crane or food truck
• Armored vehicles when someone is inside to guard contents or during loading/unloading
• Passenger busses when non-driving passengers are on board
• Semi-trailer sleeper berths at a designated rest area or parking spot
• Increased idling up to 20 minutes is allowed when the temperature is less than 10 degrees.
Later, House Bill 16-1122 declared that vehicles cannot be left unattended while idling for any length of
time, but vehicles started remotely are allowed if the owner takes measures to prevent theft such as
keeping the doors locked.
ANALYSIS: The Environmental Protection Agency produced a study which estimates how much
greenhouse gas an idling vehicle emits [Attachment 3]. According to the Eagle County Department of
Motor Vehicles, there are 6,588 personal cars registered in Avon. Based on the EPA’s numbers, these
vehicles alone have the potential to contribute up to 1034.47 pounds of carbon monoxide gas to the
atmosphere in one hour of idling along with multiple other pollutants and toxins. Idling serves very little
purpose for anyone and can be costly to individuals as even just 10 seconds wastes more fuel and wears
on a vehicle’s engine more than turning it off and on again. Therefore, reducing idling often has widespread
benefits for many stakeholders. Even so, the habit can be difficult to break, prompting the need for
preventative measures or an outright ban.
Page 2 of 4
Education: It can be difficult for a single individual to quantify the effect of a few seconds
extraneous idling on the environment, their wallet, their vehicle and their health. On top of the
emissions impact described above, the Dept. of Energy report states that most modern cars don’t
need to idle to warm up and in fact most manuals recommend against it. Instead, driving slowly for
about 30 seconds is the best way to help the engine reach ideal operating temperatures.
Additionally, the average driver can save about one tank of gas per year by not idling. Finally, the
EPA finds that cars at a standstill leak toxic gasses into the cabin as well as into the air to be
inhaled by passers-by. These gasses can contribute to a variety of lung ailments. An educational
campaign can raise awareness and combat the idea that idling is necessary in a drive-thru or
beneficial on a chilly morning. Tools may include informational signage, a page online, a public
pledge against idling and partnerships with local schools.
Idling Prevention: An effective way to combat idling is to prevent drivers from entering
situations where they might be tempted to do so. Situations where Avon drivers may idle their
vehicles include but are not limited to:
• Traffic congestion
• Looking for parking
• Using the device charging or media capabilities of the car (e.g., listening to music)
• Drive-thrus or cubside pickup
• Warming up the engine/scraping snow and ice
• Picking up children from school
For example, Avon has already installed roundabouts in its major intersections, eliminating the
need to stop and wait at a traffic light. There are other creative solutions the Town might consider,
such as partnering with owners of private parking lots and drive-thrus, directing the public to buy
magnetic windshield covers that eliminate the need to scrape ice and snow, and making
parking easier to find.
Town Fleet: Town employees set the example for the rest of the public. The nature of municipal
employees’ work often supports idling as drivers may go out daily and make several short stops on
a route. While the City of Fort Collins doesn’t have an anti-idling ordinance, it does have an
employee policy that prevents idling in its fleet [Attachment 4]. Even though Avon has long-term
plans to eliminate petrol vehicles from its fleet, this type of measure can reduce emissions in the
meantime. The Town can also provide windshield covers for vehicles so that scraping snow and
ice is unnecessary.
Anti-Idling Ordinance: The main tool in Avon’s pocket would be to institute an outright ban of
idling in town, entombed in the Municipal Code and enforced by Police. Several municipalities have
done this, the most comparable to Avon being Aspen, Vail and Winter Park [Attachment 5]. An
ordinance would make idling for more than a set length of time unlawful. Time limits in peer
communities range from five minutes in Aspen (the shortest time allowed by the State of Colorado)
to 20 minutes in Vail. The ordinance is usually housed under noise reduction or environmental
health portions of the municipality’s code.
Enforcing such an ordinance is the largest obstacle to overcome. This report considers the insight
of Avon Police Chief Greg Daly as well as experience from representatives at the City of Aspen.
Page 3 of 4
Chief Daly brought up several items for Council to consider:
• Whether to allow remote starting and how to ascertain that an idling vehicle has been
started remotely
• Whether to focus on only unlocked idling vehicles, how to ascertain a vehicle is unlocked
and how to prevent theft
• How the ordinance extends to hybrid and electric vehicles
• How to determine the vehicle has been idling longer than the time limit
He envisioned a program which starts with education followed by a period when the public is given
warnings only when caught idling. After that, officers can begin to issue citations to those who
continue to break the law.
Peer Community Interviews: A representative from the City of Aspen’s police department reported
that enforcing their idling ordinance can be challenging, especially with visitors arriving frequently
with little knowledge of local rules or opportunity to learn. Most enforcement is triggered by civilian
complaints, and the first action is usually to try to contact the vehicle’s owner and request that they
turn it off. If there is no contact or the owner does not comply, then a ticket is issued. The
Department of Environmental Health does occasional patrols with the aim to reward people for not
idling or educate idlers about the detriments of their behavior, and the School District partners to
post signage and raise awareness. A representative from the Environmental Health Department
said that police and staff rarely have the time to truly enforce the ordinance. It is easier to enforce
the State’s unattended idling rules since there is no need to wait five minutes before ticketing. They
suggested Avon look closely at where idling happens and connect with target groups individually,
such as taxi and delivery companies, HOA’s and schools. Positive reinforcement for not idling and
appealing to individual and community values like saving money are important tools to change
behaviors.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that Council establish an idling ordinance in Avon only if they would
like to set different time limits than the State already sets. Any action should be based in a strong
educational and awareness campaign that promotes self-enforcement due to the challenges I believe
Police will face upholding the new law. I also recommend the Town consider tactics to reduce idling
opportunities during future strategic planning processes and implement policies that disincentivize
employees from engaging in this behavior in fleet vehicles.
OPTIONS:
1. Do not act to reduce idling in Avon
2. Launch an education campaign to raise awareness
3. Focus on preventing idling situations
4. Implement an employee idling policy
5. Establish an ordinance to outlaw idling
6. Design a program which implements some or all the above actions

5. BUSINESS ITEMS
5.1. JOINT MEETING OF CULTURAL ARTS AND SPECIAL EVENTS WITH COUNCIL (CASE MANAGER DANITA DEMPSEY)
Video Start Time: 00:11:19 Part One
CASE Manager Danita Dempsey and Town Manager Eric Heil presented and answered questions from
Council. CASE members present were Chair member Lisa Mattis, and committee members Chris
Cofelice and Kathy Ryan. Present virtually were committee members Justin Chesney and Ruth
Stanley. Committee member Pedro Campos joined in person at 5:20 p.m.
Council and CASE members talked about the 2021 season. CASE Manager Danita Dempsey said the
2021 event season was a huge success. Lisa Mattis said one of the decisions to make tonight is to
decide if the 2021 season should be replicated in 2022. Councilor Underwood said her favorite event
was the art walk and asked to separate a blanket zone and a chair zone at the next park event.
Councilor Prince asked to keep the stage doors open during events and at the next Salute event he
requested to close the south side area of the stage near the dock when it is time to set up for the
event and not all day. Councilor Hardy said her favorite event was Pride in the Park and said she
would love to see fireworks in January, and it does not have to be a long display. She asked the
committee to find the right piece of art for the roundabout. Mayor Smith Hymes mentioned some
friends of hers told her that the Sunset Live events are the best addition to the Valley ever made,
and she suggested to watch the quality and variety of alcohol offered in the events. Mayor Pro Tem
Phillips said she supports the idea of adding a new public works staffmember for the events.
Town Manager Eric Heil said CASE is not recommending doing the fireworks this year and asked
Council for direction whether this should be done this January or not. Councilor Underwood said she
loves the fireworks, but she will go with CASE recommendation and mentioned to think in a more
sustainable way. CASE Manager Danita Dempsey supported this idea and explained costs. Councilor
Thuon suggested to do a drone show and requested CASE to look into this financially. Councilor
Andrade said Avon could be the first ones with a drone show, so he supported this idea. After Council
input, majority supported to not have fireworks in January 2022 and agreed Council should rethink
fireworks in July 2022 and years beyond.
After Council discussion, majority supported for music on Labor Day Monday, but no need to
replicate a big act and agreed to have a more local flavor with local bands. Councilor Underwood
suggested to have more events not only music, but poetry, writing, storytelling, etc. There will be a

Kathleen Walsh commented in-person. She expressed the Town should be thinking of new ideas and
offer local things outside of just music events. She said the cinema events on Fridays were great, but
it was a lot of money, and the Town should be able to come up with a better solution than having a
company from the front range drive up for this every Friday, like owning the equipment. She
suggested a Cinco de Mayo event.

Councilor Hardy raised the idea of a temporary dog park at the lot across from the Piedmont apartments.
She said she wanted to talk about housing again as rents exceed mortgages and there was a recent listing
in Eagle County Classifieds social media group for a 1BR apartment in Vail at $3,900/month, just to
mention. She expressed it is unrealistic to afford this rent, even with a professional career and a 5-year
degree. She said Beaver Creek should be the ski resort and Avon be the community. She said Council
needs to really dive into short-term rentals regulations and that housing goes hand in hand with climate
action and mental health.
Mayor Smith Hymes then read the rental rates at Buffalo Ridge and the importance of those non-profit
organizations in our community. Councilor Hardy clarified there is an approximated one-year waiting list.
Mayor Pro Tem Phillips wanted to bring up ADU's (Accessory Dwelling Units) in Wildridge and that
Council should perhaps re-open that discussion.
Mayor Smith Hymes talked about the time limit for public comments and that all 3-minute comments
typically get extended to 4-minutes. She is suggesting to only allow 3 minutes from now on and not to
allow the additional minute. She took a poll from Council and the majority of Council wanted to keep the
benefit of 1 additional minute in place. Council agreed to be more disciplined in providing the additional
minute, add a timer to give a warning at 2:30 minutes mark, and deny the extra minute if they think it is
not necessary.
Councilor Thuon got disconnected at 9:49 p.m.
Councilor Underwood reminded the public that election day is November 2nd and to please be sure to
vote. She mentioned that the 24-hr Ballot box next to Avon Liquors is open. General Government

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Kristin Martinez, Accountant
RE: 3rd Quarter RETT Sales and Exemption Report
DATE: October 13, 2021
SUMMARY: The 3rd quarter of 2021 has generated less RETT revenues compared to prior years. While
there has been a significant amount of revenues generated through RETT, nine primary exemptions were
applied for in the 3rd quarter of 2021. There were six Mi Casa applications approved in the 3rd quarter of
2021.
BACKGROUND: Prior to 2020, section 17 and 18 were the only primary residence exemptions available to
buyers in Avon. On November 12th, 2019, Council adopted Ordinance 19-05 which provides a 3rd primary
residence RETT exemption. Under this new exemption, purchasers may apply for an exemption up to
$240,000 of consideration paid, or up to $4,800 in RETT Relief. There are new conditions which must be
met in order to qualify for section 19, which are highlighted Attachment A, SUMMARY OF PRIMARY
RESIDENCE RETT EXEMPTIONS. In 2020, Mi Casa was approved to provide $650,000 in funds to
qualifying participants. Of the $650,000 approved, $464,760 was contributed by the Town for 8 properties.
In 2021, Council approved $900,000 in funds for Mi Casa with the goal to provide financial assistance for
12-16 homebuyers in 2021, this is an increase of $250,000, compared to 2020.
ANALYSIS:
RETT Exemptions Granted 2019 – 2021
In 2021, nine primary residence exemptions were granted in the 3rd quarter. This is a decrease of 8
exemptions granted in the 3rd quarter of 2019 and a decrease of 11 exemptions granted in the 3rd quarter
of 2020. In the 3rd quarter of 2021, $28,800 was granted in RETT Relief, which is $43,150 less than 2020,
which granted $71,950 and $23,987 less than 2019, which granted $52,787.

TO: Honorable Mayor Smith Hymes and Council members FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager
RE: Quarterly Update on 2021 Department Goals
DATE: October 18, 2021
SUMMARY: During the two January Council meetings, we presented an overview of the many goals and
plans of the Town of Avon Departments. This list of Department Goals presents an ambitious and full list of
intended activities in addition to the regular function of each Department. An update on progress and/or
completion will be presented quarterly. Council will have the opportunity to review progress and ask
questions, make comments and provide further direction if desired, including additional, removal or re-
prioritization of goals. Q1 updates. Q2 updates. Q3 updates.
THIRD QUARTER UPDATE: GENERAL GOVERNMENT
1. Establish a “State of Town” Document or Video: Avon will create a “State of the Town”
presentation that will review highlights from 2020 and provide an overview and outlook for significant
projects in 2021. State of the Town video presentation is scheduled to be presented to Council
at the April 27, 2021 Council meeting. Staff prepared a comprehensive presentation for the
spring Avon Business community outreach which was presented at the Westin on May 26,
2021. [Here is a link to the presentation] COMPLETED.
2. Holy Cross Electric Franchise Agreement Renewal: The Holy Cross Electric Franchise
Agreement is required to be renewed. This is a twenty-year agreement that expires on February 28,
2021 and needs to be renewed. A report and draft ordinance for first reading will be presented in
January to Council. COMPLETED.
3. Implement Bang the Table Community Engagement Platform: Council approved the “Bang the
Table” Community Engagement Platform in fall of 2020. Staff is preparing a variety of Town projects
to post on this new platform. The goal is post approximately nine separate projects by the beginning
of February and then review performance, functionality and usage with Council in April. First phase
is completed with 5 projects published. Community Survey and Harry A. Nottingham Park
East Design Project is planned to be published by mid-April. Presentation to Council was provided on March 23, 2021, along with review of performance and usage. Follow-up on
review of performance and usage is planned to occur during the 3rd quarter. No update. This
is continuous and a total of 9 projects are published. The 2021 Avon Community Survey was
executed through this platform during the 3rd quarter. Our contract with Bang the Table will
not be renewed past January 3, 2022 and a Council report with more details will be coming in
Q4.
Page 2 of 22
4. Update Procurement Code: The existing Procurement Code was adopted in 2010. Staff has a
working draft of a revised and updated Procurement Code to present to Council at the end of
February. Adoption of the revised Procurement Code would occur by Resolution. Updates the Procurement Code are planned to be presented to Council at the May 11, 2021 Council
meeting. This project has been deferred and is planned to be presented to Council at the
August 10th Council meeting. The project has been deferred until Q4 when we have a new
interim Town Attorney hired.
5. Update Avon Brand Guidelines: Avon adopted Brand Guidelines in 2016 which establishes colors,
fonts and standards for use of the Town logo. Since its adoption, Avon has not used some color
formats, has integrated other colors, has returned to the “Heart of the Valley” tag line and has
established the Heartbeat Newsletter. The update to the Avon Brand Guidelines document will
incorporate current practices for marketing, communications and documents and will bring the
document in-house so that it can be updated more easily. Brand guidelines were updated in
February and a written report was presented to Council. There were some questions raised
during presentation to Council. Council direction is requested on whether to bring the Avon
Brand Guidelines back for further review and discussion. No update.
6. Update Contract Archive Procedures: All contracts are public documents and are required to be
archived by the Town Clerk. Avon has not established written or uniform procedures for transmitting
contracts to the Town Clerk’s office. Staff is currently creating a transmittal letter and uniform process
for all Departments to transmit executed contracts to the Town Clerk’s office. We are also exploring
placing all Town contracts in a designated folder under public records that can be accessible on the Town’s website. General Government has updated is procedures for contract archiving
and is in the process of implementing with all departments. A written report from Town Clerk
Brenda Torres was sent to Council for the May 11, 2021 Council meeting. COMPLETED.
7. Promote Recycling for Multi-Family and Accommodations Buildings in the Town Core: The
West Town Center area has the highest concentration of multi-family and accommodations buildings.
Staff will develop a contact list, determine existing practices, organize open house meetings with the
building managers, and identify opportunities to promote recycling for these properties. Staff is in
the process of contacting existing multi-family buildings and is scheduled to present a report
to Council on May 11, 2021. This project is deferred to late summer. General Government staff
resources were re-allocated to support Special Events when we were not able to fill both full-
time seasonal Event Coordinator positions. Now that the event season has concluded, this
project will be picked up in Q4.
8. Collect Residential Sales Data: Currently, approximately 50% of residences in Avon are occupied
by full-time residents as their primary residence. The Avon Community Housing Plan states the goal
to preserve this ratio of at least 50% primary residence occupancy of residential properties. In order
to monitor and track compliance with this goal, residential sales data should be collected each year
to determine the loss or gain in primary residence occupancy as well as to track real estate prices in
relationship to affordable and accessible housing. Staff is scheduled to determine the process to collect residential sales data and present to Council at the April 27, 2021 Council meeting.
This project is deferred to the 3rd quarter. Now that the event season has concluded, this
project will be picked up in Q4.
Page 3 of 22
9. Adopt Recall Procedures by Ordinance: Avon Home Rule Charter states that Avon may adopt
Recall Procedures by ordinance. Avon has not adopted Recall Procedures. Other municipalities have
adopted Recall Procedures which typically include forms and instructions which are more accessible
to the public. This goal is on hold until the Eagle County District Court rules on the pending
recall declaratory judgment action. The Eagle County District Court ruled on the declaratory
judgment action on June 23. The Appeal of this judgment may take several months, so this
project is deferred until further notice. This project will be delayed until after the November
election.
10. Establish a Climate Action Investment Matrix: Avon appropriates and invests funds every year to
implement greenhouse gas reduction and advance climate action goals. Establishment of an
investment matrix is a carry-over project from 2020. The intent is to summarize various climate action
projects, the financial investment for each project, the reduction of greenhouse gas and then provide
a comparison of return on investment for various projects. Staff is scheduling time in April to
gather data from each Department on greenhouse gas emissions and how to present this
information in an investment matrix. We have scheduled to present information to Council at
the May 11, 2021 Council meeting. This project is deferred to fall due to several Department Director and re-prioritizing to support continuity of daily operations. Now that the event
season has concluded, this project will be picked up in Q4.
11. Research Net Zero Communities: Avon endorses the Net Zero Mountain Town 2030 goals of
reducing community greenhouse gas emissions to a “net zero” level. This goal involves researching
and presenting the actions, economy and lifestyle of communities that have achieved net zero
greenhouse gas emissions. Staff is compiling research and information on net zero
communities and provide a presentation to Council in work session during the 4th quarter
2021. This project is deferred to fall due to re-allocation of resources to support Special
Events during the summer. Now that the event season has concluded, this project will be
picked up in Q4.
12. Comcast Franchise Renewal: The current Comcast Franchise Agreement expires at the end of
2022. A cable franchise agreement renewal process typically requires a year. The goal is to review
the process and then commence by the end of 2021 and conduct the majority of the renewal process
in 2022. This goal is planned to start in the 4th quarter of 2021. No update. No update.
13. Trademark Logos and Names: Identify various logos, marks, event names and tag lines used for
Avon’s brand and file appropriate action to trademark and protect this branding and marketing
intellectual property. This goal is planned to start in the 2nd quarter of 2021. A written report is
scheduled to be provided to Council in the 3rd quarter of 2021. No update. No update.
14. Art in Avon: Art in Avon will solicit artists to create outdoor art works that can be displayed in various
locations in Avon for a year and then would be replaced each year with new artwork. Artists receive a
modest commission to assist with material costs and the artwork is displayed for potential sale. It
would be featured each year and would be promoted with self-guided walking tours. This goal is
substantially underway. A written report was provided to Council on February 23, 2021. A
follow-up work session is scheduled for June 22, 2021. Sculptures were selected and
installed. Avon’s inaugural Art Walk was held on Friday, June 11, 2021. COMPLETED.
Page 4 of 22
15. Recreation Center Mural: The Avon Recreation Center has three large blank cinder block walls on
the south side of the building facing the Avon Main Street Mall. This area was identified for
installation of mural art in a manner similar to Lettuce Shed Lane. This goal is substantially underway. A diverse review committee has been established to review over 25 mural
submissions. This project is on track to be implemented in early summer. An artist was
selected, and the Recreation Center Mural was installed in June 2021. COMPLETED.
16. Conduct 2021 Community Survey: A biennial survey would be conducted in the late spring to
solicit input on Town services and pending policy questions. The community survey will be sent to
residents, property owners and business owners in Avon. Staff is in the process of working with
the CASE Committee and Health and Recreation Committee on various survey questions. The
2021 Community Survey was reviewed at two Council work sessions and is currently live
through July 30th. The community survey results were presented to Council on September 14
and the reports are available on the website. Staff has been instructed to reference/include
survey results in staff memos where appropriate over the next 24 months. COMPLETED.
17. Conduct Long Range Avon Vision Process to Replace Former Strategic Plan: A vision
document will be created that describes how the Avon community desires to see Avon in 10 to 20
years along with strategic policies to achieve this vision. This goal will start in the 3rd Quarter after
the results of the Community Survey have been compiled. No update. No update.
18. Establish Winter Marketing Plan for 2021-2022 Ski Season: A winter marketing plan will be
created which reflects the values of the Avon community and seeks to attract visitors during the
winter which are compatible with Avon’s community values. This goal will start in the 3rd Quarter in
preparation for the 2021-2022 Winter Season. No update. No update.
19. Update discoveravon.org website: The Discover Avon Website will be updated to establish a more
attractive and user-friendly destination marketing website ready to serve the Town’s future marketing
plan. Updates to Discover Avon Website are nearly finished and this marketing website will be
presented to Council at a work session in the 2nd Quarter. Discover Avon went live in Q2 and
was presented to Council at the May 25, 2021 meting. COMPLETED.
20. Research Home Office Licenses: A business license is required for residents working from their
home office in Avon. Staff will research best practices in peer communities. A written report will be
presented to Council on the April 13, 2021 Council packet and a work session for review and
direction will be scheduled in the 2nd Quarter. This report was submitted to Council on April
13, 2021. Council did not provide direction to take any further action. COMPLETED.

THIRD QUARTER UPDATE: FINANCE
1. Implement Tyler Incode ERP System: The Finance Department proceeded with the Tyler
Technologies software upgrades to replace Sungard and PowerPlan in the fall of 2020. All of the
Town’s accounts will be transferred over and entered into the Tyler Technologies software platform
and Staff will be trained on using this new platform for all budgeting and financial matters. An
overview of the new platform and functionality will be presented to Council in early 2021. Finance
staff has been involved with the implementation of the new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
system since the first quarter of 2020 when the planning process with Tyler began. The
implementation has been done entirely remotely which I believe was a first for Tyler.
Planning. The planning phase consisted of sharing information with Tyler in order for them to begin the
task of setting up our new systems with the Town’s chart of accounts, vendors, banking information, personnel files, payroll data, budget, general ledger balances, fixed asset records, forms and much
more. Amy Greer, Robert McKenner, and I held biweekly project planning meetings with our Tyler
project manager through the end of the year.
Implementation. Beginning November 1, we began configuration meetings with our implementation consultant. These meetings ran 4 days per week for 4-6 hours per day for several weeks through the
end of December. These meetings involved various staff based on the module being implemented and
included administrative setup and security, user setup, establishment of internal processes, review of
converted data, reporting, etc. This also included two parallel payroll runs at the end of December and
beginning of January. A parallel run involves preparing and running the Town’s entire payroll on the old
SunGard system as well as on the new Tyler Incode ERP system in order to make sure all payroll totals,
taxes, benefits, and deductions match each other.
Go Live. The Town went live with the general ledger in Incode on January 4, the first workday of the new
year. Since then we have gone live with all modules with the exception of Accounts Receivable. This includes cashiering, purchasing, accounts payable, personnel management, payroll administration,
fixed assets, project accounting, and bank reconciliations. The position budgeting module and the
budget portion of general ledger have been implemented but not really used yet. The Go Live process
ran 1–5 days for each module averaging 4–6 hours per day over several weeks with staff working
through remote screensharing with our Tyler Go Live consultant. Shortly after each module went live for
Finance, the Finance staff then trained departments to utilize various components including creating requisitions, approving requisitions, viewing and managing purchase orders, and invoice entry.
As Finance continues to use and better learn the Incode system and the myriad of reports available, we
will assist end users in setting up and customizing their dashboards. We will train on and begin using
the position budgeting module and budget as we get closer to budget season this summer. The 2020
year-end audit is a hybrid of two systems and may be a little challenging as only general ledger balances
from SunGard (not detailed transactions) were migrated into Tyler. Reporting and system integration is
Page 6 of 22
significantly improved and should enhance end user’s experience and efficiency in gathering management data.
With the exception of position budgeting and budget input, the implementation of the initial ERP system
is complete. On July 14, finance staff and staff from other departments will demo three additional
software modules: Executime Timekeeping, HR Onboarding, and Content Management. Position
budgeting and budget input have been implemented and are currently in use in preparing the 2022
budget. Executive will be implemented during the laset quarter of 2021.
2. Implement ClearGov Budget Platform: Council approved the Clear Gov Budget website platform to
improve the public’s ability to review and understand the Town’s budget. A presentation to Council will
be scheduled in early 2021. A demonstration of the platform is scheduled for the April 27 Town Council
meeting. For the 2022 budget year we plan to add information regarding capital projects, maps, project
descriptions, budgets, and more detail. This platform is very dynamic and the Town can upload
additional information to the Transparency platform at any time. COMPLETED.
3. Create a Public Real Estate Transfer Tax Analysis Document: Questions concerning the Town’s
real estate transfer tax arise periodically. A comprehensive analysis of the Town’s real estate transfer
tax will be prepared and presented to Council in early 2021. A follow-up with the Town Manager is
needed to decide next steps, if any. COMPLETED.
4. Broadband Planning Project: Town has contracted with HR Green to conduct a Broadband planning
analysis, which will include conducting a market assessment, determining community preferences, and
analyzing the broadband activities of our peer mountain resort communities.
Phase 1 – Public Outreach
Task 1 – Community Needs Assessment March - April

Task 2 – Develop Financial Feasibility Model June – July
Task 3 – Complete Broadband Master Plan & Executive Summary July - August
Meeting – Final Report & Presentation August 2021
A kick-off meeting with HR Green was held in late February. Tasks for the projects and completions
dates were agreed on (See task list below). A residential/business broadband survey has been
published on the Engage website. The survey closes April 30. Participation in the survey so far has
Page 7 of 22
been very limited. An advertising plan to increase survey participation as been implemented. Next, HR Green will be scheduling individual and group meetings with key anchor institution.
All tasks in phase 1 are complete except Task 6. Task 6 requires Council’s input to establish a vision.
This is a two-step process. The first step would be to have a working session with Town Council and HR
Green. The meeting would focus on gaining direction from council through question and answers. The
second step would be providing a written report and a Council presentation. A Council presentation is
scheduled for November.
5. Research Sales Tax on Vehicle Purchases and Leases: Staff will research the total sales tax paid
for vehicle purchases in the Town of Avon in order to present information on the potential financial
incentive for sales tax waivers for electric vehicle purchases. No update. COMPLETED
6. Refresh Financial and Budgetary Policies: The Town’s budget includes Financial and Budgetary
Policies which are re-adopted each year. Staff will review and present proposed revisions to the
Financial and Budgetary Policies to the Finance Committee for inclusion in the draft budget for 2022.
This will begin in August during the 2022 budget process. Financial and Budgetary Policies have been
reviewed and have been revised within the various fund narratives. Final versions of policies will be
included in the ClearGov Digital Budget Book that will be published in early January.
7. Update Financial Comparison of Peer Communities: Town conducted comprehensive comparisons
of the Town’s tax structure with neighboring communities in Eagle County. Staff will update those
comparisons and expand to include our primary comparator communities of Breckenridge, Frisco,
Silverthorne, Snowmass, Steamboat Springs, Telluride and Vail. &
8. Research Portion of Avon’s Revenues from Visitor Economy: Staff will conduct an analysis to
determine the share of the Town’s revenues that are derived from the visitor economy. For goals 7 & 8
Staff has held a meeting with EPS, the firm that did the original Fiscal Analysis and Peer Community
Comparison of Revenues, Budgets and Services and Assessment of Real Estate Transfer Tax Impacts.
EPS has submitted a proposal which is currently under review by the Town Manager. No update.
9. Establish Long-Range Planning Projection per Budget Policies: The Budget Policies state that
long-range planning projections should be established. Staff will prepare long-range planning
projections for presentation and review by the Finance Committee. This will begin in late July during the
2022 budget process. This has been delayed and will begin in November 2021 and continue into the 2022
budget year.
10. Establish Improved Public Involvement Process and Budget Schedule: Staff will establish and
execute an improved budget schedule for public involvement for the 2022 budget process. The first
step of drafting a list of vision and strategy ideas is set to begin in early July. This has been delayed and
will begin in November 2021 and continue into the 2022 budget year.
11. Establish Improved Assessment of Revenues and Costs for Identified Activities: Staff will utilize
the Tyler Technology platform to identify activity areas, such as Recreation Center, Transit, Fleet
operations, and Special Events, and present revenues and expenses with those activity areas to
promote understanding of cost and financial goals to balance revenues and expenses in specific
activity areas where possible. This will begin in August during the 2022 budget process. A presentation
was given to the Finance Committee regarding the Town's projections of revenues, particularly sales
Page 8 of 22
and accommodation taxes. The committee seemed satisfied that the Finance Dept's projections were data-driven, conservation, and appropriate. COMPLETED.
12. Present Legal and Financial Analysis of Use Tax: Staff will prepare an overview of sales and use
tax as commonly used throughout Colorado, potential revenues, potential dedication of such revenues
for designated purposes such as capital improvements or community housing, and present that
information to the Finance Committee. Staff will be presenting a report and PowerPoint presentation
regarding construction materials use tax at the July 13 Town Council meeting. The purpose of this
presentation is to encourage Council to move forward with a ballot question in November to approve a
construction materials use tax. A use tax presentation was given to Town Council on two separate
occasions in August. The Town Council decided to not pursue a ballot question at this time. Town staff
will regroup and develop a work plan for construction use tax ballot question for the 2022 elections.
13. Research Marijuana Tax: Staff will research this opportunity and prepare a report and present that
information to the Town Council. No update. Finance will provide tax information from Eagle County for
a report from Community Development.
14. Research & Implement Blended Virtual/In-Person Format: Council indicated they would like to offer
virtual participation as an option once/after Council goes back to meeting in-person in Council
Chambers. Staff will research and implement the technology to host such a “blended” meeting. On April
1 and 2 JK Perry and Robert McKenner tested a hybrid solution. On April 5 JK and Robert are
presenting the recommended solution to the Town Manager, Mayor and Mayor Pro Temp. If the solution
is acceptable a budget will need to be developed to modify the audio/visual system in Council chambers.
COMPLETED.
OTHER PROJECTS NOT INCLUDED IN TOWN COUNCIL GOALS
Online Travel Company (OTC) setup: Pursuant to the Town’s recent sales tax and accommodation tax
ordinances Finance staff has been communicating and setting up licenses for marketplace retailers to
collect and remit taxes to the Town. Ongoing.
Purchasing Card Systems: As of 4/1/2021 we have completed the migration to a new purchasing card
system with UMB Bank and are no longer using First Bank debit cards. The new purchasing cards allow
users to upload receipts and coding electronically and allow finance to upload and post transactions
electronically to our general ledger. This is a much more efficient process for Finance, and will eliminate
the need for most petty cash checks. COMPLETED.
Annual Audit: The final draft of the audit report will be presented to Town Council for acceptance on
July 13. COMPLETED.
Page 9 of 22
THIRD QUARTER UPDATE: HUMAN RESOURCES
1. Comparison of Benefits in Peer Communities: Staff will conduct a comprehensive review of
employee benefits offered in our peer communities, including our primary comparator communities.
This research was completed in 1Q21. In addition, we completed a separate review of how
our comparators (and other communities of interest) have treated merit increases and range
adjustments in 2020 and for 2021. An updated report for Council is being prepared, and will
be delivered in mid-August. Report was submitted as a written report in the August 25th
Council Packet.
2. Implementation of Customer Service Training Program: Staff will establish and implement a
customer service training program that provides uniform training and sets uniform expectations for
how Town Staff interacts with the general public. The first draft of this has been reviewed with
the Town Manager, and will be rolled out in early Fall. Final draft was provided to the Town
Manager.
3. Implementation of Performance Evaluation Training Program: Staff will establish a training
program for Directors and Supervisors to conduct performance evaluations with the updated
performance evaluation criteria. This initiative has moved into the Summer as we adjusted the

Evaluation process is underway; workshops for supervisors were held, and all forms have
been distributed. We expect to complete this according to the schedule provided.
4. Implementation of Annual or Semi-Annual Pulse Survey: Staff will establish and implement a
‘pulse survey’ to be sent to all Town employees to gather input on working conditions, concerns, and
recommendations for improved practices. A Pulse survey for fulltime employees was completed
in in 1Q21. The results were reviewed with the Town Manager, and a communication to employees is being developed. Results may drive some additional initiatives for the year. No
update.
5. Update American with Disabilities Act Coordinator: The Town adopted by resolution designations
and processes for an American with Disabilities Act Coordinator in 1993. Staff will update this
document in 2021. An initial review of what other towns are doing has been completed. The next step is to draft a new resolution to comply with ADA and ADAAA, appoint a Coordinator,
and implement. No update.
6. Assess Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS): Staff will assess the utility, functionality,
costs and benefits for a Human Resources Information System in 2021 and propose options and

demo’s with a number of providers. Tyler Incode had been reviewed in 2019, and had
Page 10 of 22
insufficient functionality, but has enhanced their system over the last two years. Finance, IT and HR will be reviewing a deeper demo into Tyler Incode in mid-July. Our current goal is to
complete the review process quickly, and get a system installed prior to the end of the
calendar year. This project is ongoing. We have conducted online demonstrations of four
HRIS solutions, and two more are scheduled in October. We will narrow this further to two
targets. IT and Finance are closely involved in this process. This project is ongoing.
THIRD QUARTER UPDATE: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

were produced, following input from the Leadership Team members who directly interact with
Nottingham Park. In addition to CASE and PZC involvement, public engagement included
AvonLIVE! concerts in the summer and some utilization of Engage Avon. The 3rd Quarter
included schematic design development. Final programming and design will be completed in
Q4.
9. Implement Historic Monument Project: Staff will oversee installation of historic photo monuments
around Avon and assist with the creation of a walking tour document. Danita Dempsey led the
coordination of the Historic Monument Project’s sign content. Sign designer produced initial
layout for signage. Design should be completed in Q4.
10. Early Education Capacity Research: Staff will research child care needs for the Avon Community
and capacity of local early education providers. Regional meetings were launched by Eagle County to explore this issue valley wide. Initial meetings commenced with an interested party
would could develop a facility.
11. Customer Service Survey: Staff will establish a customer service survey that can be provided to
development applicants each year to gauge the Town’s customer service and solicit input on
recommendations for improvement. A survey was provided in January to all planning application applicants. Overall, positive remarks were received all around. This survey tool
will be expanded in scope to include building permit applicants, with increased frequency (i.e.
quarterly) to garner a better response rate and capture all “customers” of our Department.
COMPLETED.

Other Identified Projects:
1. Emergency Notification Planning: Following Council direction at a recent meeting, Community
Development will lead a comprehensive review of emergency notification tactics for the Mountain
Star, Wildwood and Wildridge communities. Initial analysis of the northern hillside
communities has been coordinated with Police, Engineering. The Mountain Star community
has indicated they are interested in reviewing alternatives. Findings from study will be
posted to Engage and community input will be brought to PZC, before returning to Council
in Q4.
2. Dark Sky Ordinance: Council expressed interest at the June 22, 2021 meeting to explore
updates to the Dark Sky Ordinance to address interior lighting. This was prompted in part by
comments received related to the new Piedmont Apartment Project. The Building Official has
been working with Piedmont property management to mitigate installed garage structure
lights and stair core lighting. Studying the Dark Sky Ordinance and reviewing how other
communities address outdoor (and interior) lighting has not commenced.
3. Marijuana Zoning: After Amendment 64 was approved by Colorado voters in 2013 the Town
Council adopted a moratorium while considering a local Ordinance to permit the cultivation,
processing and retail sales of Marijuana. After a thorough analysis and presentation to Council in
2014 (here.) retail and other commercial uses were prohibited indefinitely. Direction is being
sought on this work item, which is expected to consume multiple departments’ attention.
The 1,000’ buffer analysis from Public Park Parcels with the current Zoning/PUD prohibition
(notably, Village at Avon), is included here to demonstrate the small number of parcels potentially availing themselves to the discussion. The map demonstrates that in order to
permit marijuana from a zoning standpoint, the following actions would be necessary:
1) Amend the Village at Avon PUD. The map demonstrates that if the PUD were
amended, the area north of Interstate 70, referred to as “Planning Area J”, could
meet federal distancing requirements and be a potential area for sales; or
2)Amend Municipal Code for Shopping Center and Neighborhood Zone Districts. An
Ordinance approving the designation of retail marijuana in the Shopping Center (SC)
and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) districts could result in retail sales taking place on the parcels surrounding the main Avon Road Interstate 70 exit, Avon Plaza, 51
Beaver Creek Place, and the City Market property; and/or
3) Amend the Chapel Square PUD. An Ordinance could permit sales in the entire
Chapel Square complex. Chapel Square PUD and the Village PUD are the only PUD
zoned properties that are commercial in nature and outside the 1000’ buffer
requirement.
The Finance Department is reviewing other municipalities and counties to understand
financial impacts where this use has been licensed and regulated. The results from that
study will be presented to Town Council when available.

determined. COMPLETED.
6. US 6 Pedestrian Crossing Solution: Staff will continue to pursue pedestrian crossing
improvements for US Highway 6 between Avon Road and Stonebridge. The Council Work Session
on April 27, 2021, with Legislators, CDOT, Eagle County, and EagleVail decided to pursue the CDOT
Revitalizing Main Street grant to construct a roundabout at Stonebridge Bridge Dr and slow the
prevailing speed on US6 to permit pedestrian crossings at transit stops. Staff submitted a grant
application for the round-about at Stone Bridge and US Highway 6 intersection and three
pedestrian crossings for US Highway 6. The “Revitalizing Main Street” grant award
announcement is scheduled for July 2021. The next steps will be determined once we receive
news of the grant award. The Town of Avon received the $2M CDOT Revitalizing Main Street
Grant for the US6 Multimodal Safety and Mobility Improvements project. Staff is working on
completing the CDOT Grant Agreement which is needed prior to the start of any reimbursable
work. Once the Agreement is executed, preliminary engineering will begin, starting with a
land survey of the project sites.
7. Create Transit Plan for the Village (at Avon): Staff will create a transit plan for the Village (at Avon)
that is comparable to the transit service provided in the West Town Center and East Town Center
areas. Staff is preparing the Transit Plan for the Village (at Avon). The presentation to the
Council will be scheduled for the 3rd Quarter, 2021. The presentation to the Council is

policies, and positions for the Avon community. The Surface Transportation Board (STB) denied
Colorado Midland and Pacific Rail Company’s (CMPC) request to operate train service through the
expedited Class Exemption process due to the complexity of their proposal and the required
environmental impact review. Staff will continue to look for opportunities to use the UPRR ROW
for the benefit of Avon citizens. No update.
Page 22 of 22
THIRD QUARTER UPDATE: FLEET
1. Develop Plan to Balance Expenses with Revenues by End of 2022: Staff will continue efforts to
balance operational revenues with expenses in the Fleet Department and will establish a plan to
achieve break-even financial status by the end of 2022 (i.e. for the 2023 budget). Staff is reviewing
expenses and revenues along with implications for potential reorganization or merging with
another Department to achieve operation cost savings. Fleet Staff is also exploring
opportunities to enhance Avon’s third-party customer base. Fleet Staff has contacted all
existing customers to assure our customers of our commitment to quality service. Fleet has
experienced an increase in Beaver Creek maintenance requests and is currently in
discussions to provide fleet maintenance services for two other public entities in our immediate area. Fleet did acquire two new entities to add to our workload during the last
quarter: Eagle River Water and Sanitation, and Turtle Bus. Fleet also gained back business
from three customers: Town of Minturn, Peak1 and Bachelor Gulch. At the start of the 2nd
quarter Fleet was short two employees, and since have hired one, with an add out for another.
Being fully staffed will allow us to keep up with the bigger work load, helping to reach this
goal.
2. Update Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Fund: Staff will work with the Finance Department to
update the vehicle and equipment replacement fund to reflect current conditions. Staff expects to
update the vehicle and equipment replacement fund in the 2nd Quarter prior to the start of the
annual budget process. This work has been started and expected to be completed in July.
The updates will improve the format and presentation of information so that it includes all
vehicles owned by Avon and provides additional description on each vehicle and piece of
equipment. Fleet is working with all Department to identify hold-over vehicles which are not needed and can be disposed and which vehicles need to be recognized as part of the fleet
and included in the budget for replacement purposes. COMPLETED.
3. Track and Update Vehicle Emissions: Staff will continue to track and update vehicle emissions
from Avon’s vehicle fleet. Staff is reviewing and updating vehicle emissions information as well
as reviewing vehicle purchasing guidelines that incorporate review of emissions. Information is scheduled to be presented to Council by the end of the 2nd Quarter. Fleet staff has
developed a tracking spreadsheet and is compiling information for past years. Information for
past years is not complete and not accurate due to past practice of not entering accurate
vehicle mileage when fueling. Fleet has implemented procedures at the Avon fuel pump to
require all vehicle users to enter mileage when fueling so that we will have an accurate data
base going forward of fuel used per mileage. Fleet continues to work on getting accurate
data for this goal, with the correct mileage now being tracked it is only a matter of time before
this reporting will be effective. We are already seeing the cost difference and effectiveness of
the new vehicle acquisitions in Police Department with the Hybrid Interceptors.

RE: Update – Metcalf Road Culvert Repair Project
DATE: October 19, 2021
SUMMARY: Town Council approved a Notice of Award on August 5, 2021, to American West Construction
(AWC) for the Metcalf Road Culvert Repair Project contract. The 130-FT long pipe in Metcalf Gulch, 25-FT
below Metcalf Road, has a collapsed section that must be repaired. The recommended in-place repair
system that did not require excavating Metcalf Road is now no longer feasible. Some additional
deformation of the culvert and debris from the rupture above are preventing use of the sliplining – inserting
a smaller diameter pipe into the existing larger culvert – method that was planned. Staff is postponing this
project until Spring 2022 because of the challenges of working in the winter and to allow time to develop a
different approach.
Site location Map
DISCUSSION: The Metcalf Road Culvert Repair Project consists of repairing a 60-FT long section of 7-FT
diameter corrugated metal pipe (CMP) located by the upper exit of the Metcalf Lofts while minimizing
disruption to utilities, traffic, and Wildridge / Wildwood residents. Since slipelining is no longer feasible, the
current plan is to replace 60-FT of culvert on the southern end. Replacement of the culvert requires a large
excavator to remove earthen material above the CMP and installing a temporary retaining wall to keep the
soil stable. Once the damaged pipe is exposed, new 7-FT diameter CMP will be connected to the existing
culvert and the hillside will be restored to its existing condition. Ancillary activities include traffic control
using signage, flaggers and shifting traffic on the road about ten feet, rip rap, spoils disposal, and
revegetation seeding. Below is a current picture of the CMP.
Page 2 of 2
October 2021 photo of the damaged culvert under Metcalf Road looking from the Southern end.
This previously approved project budget was $237,466 funded from the Capital Projects Fund. A revised
Notice of Award will be presented to Council in January after Staff and the contractor finalize the new project
scope and cost. It is expected the new project scope will cost approximately $400,000 - $500,000.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE: The proposed work is scheduled to start around April 1, 2022 and be
completed by May 31, 2022.

RE: Nottingham and Metcalf Rd Transit Service Analysis
DATE: October 4, 2021
SUMMARY: Avon Town Council requested information on the costs and feasibility of operating transit on
Metcalf and Nottingham Rd when results of the 2020 Wildridge survey showed interest in transit service. A
route from Wildwood to Avon Station was proposed.
Providing full transit service, 6:30 am to 10 pm, between Avon Station and Wildwood is estimated to cost
$470,000. At a lower Level of Service (LOS), operating between 6:30 am to 6 pm, the cost is estimated at
$350,000. Infrastructure improvements and bus drivers will be needed to expand transit services.
Currently, hiring new bus drivers is unlikely.
BACKGROUND: In 2017, with a budget of $50K, a winter pilot transit service from Avon Station to
Wildridge operated between Feb 2 to April 16, 2017. The fixed-route service (8 am – 9 am and 3:30p –
4:30 pm) provided 32 trips over 22 days. Due to the low ridership, the service was changed to an On-
Request service. A 24-hr notice reservation was required. The On-Request service provided 19 trips over
11 days. With the low ridership, the pilot winter transit service was discontinued.
The Night Rider, an extension of transit service into the evening, proved to be very successful. The Night
Rider connected all the core residential communities to amenities like Walmart and City Market as well as
to Avon Station, a critical connection to our regional transit service, ECO Transit. The Night Rider route
was adopted permanently after providing an average of 49 trips/day over a 4-hr. period for a duration of 67
days. In 2019, Avon provided 50,000 trips on the Night Rider, our highest ridership per hour route.

In the September 2020 Wildridge Survey, 54% of respondents supported trying another transit pilot
program based on a ride-hailing service to/from Wildridge during ski season. 13% of the respondents said
they would use it at least once a week. 80% said they would be willing to pay a $5 fare.
In 2020, Jared Barnes, Avon Planning Commissioner, conducted a Case Study on Transportation Solutions
for Rural-Resor communities. He concluded that Wildridge, similar to suburban neighborhoods, lacks the
population density to support fix-route transit service.
SERVICE ANALYSIS: The roundtrip, 5-mile, loop from the Wildwood Bus Stop to Avon Station would take
approximately 20-25 minutes. A 30-minute headway schedule is recommended. There are 281 residential
units along the new route includes. With the anticipated lower ridership, the smaller, cutaway buses with a
capacity of 20 passengers, would be used for the route. Various cost scenarios are presented below.
There are several challenges to operating the new route. Infrastructure improvements will be needed for
safe operations. The steep grade at the turn-around loop on Wildridge Rd will be a challenge, especially
during inclement weather. The Wildwood bus stop area will provide limited space for a Park & Ride. There
are existing paved areas for bus pullouts at the Metcalf Lofts. Stops on lower Metcalf Rd and Nottingham
Rd will have to be on the roadway with traffic stoppage and potential traffic congestion.
Currently, there is sufficient fleet inventory to support the proposed route. A minimum of two full-time
drivers would be needed to operate this route 7days a week. There are no drivers available for this route
and new hires for bus drivers are not likely this year.
FINANCIAL: The 2019 transit operating budget was approximately $2,100,000. Expanded transit service
will require additional support from the General Fund.

RE: Emergency Planning for Northern Hillside Communities
DATE: October 11, 2021
SUMMARY: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on emergency response planning for the
“northern hillside” communities. The northern hillside includes Mountain Star, Wildwood, and Wildridge. A
comprehensive mass notification system, as well as evacuation route planning, continue to progress as
new information becomes available. This report discusses the difference between a traditional siren
system, like that installed at the top of Wildridge, and a newer technology approach through a series of
High Powered Speaker Array (“HPSA”) devices. Lastly, an update on the emergency vehicular route
between Wildridge and Singletree is included.
EXISTING SIREN: The current siren system stemmed from feedback received during prior evacuation drills
in Wildridge. Specifically, several occupants at home for evacuation drills did not receive the phone alert
and were unaware of drills taking place. Chief Daly pursued a siren, like the one in Bachelor Gulch, to
provide effective communication to the greatest number of residents.
Staff approved a Minor Development Plan application for the design and location of the siren on Town
owned property. The system was installed in Spring 2021 on Tract J, Wildridge Subdivision. It is located
next to existing radio equipment and water storage infrastructure. The coverage map provided by the
manufacturer, Sentry Sirens, estimated a consistent spread (see map on next page) across the
subdivision.
The 2021 test during the wildfire evacuation drill determined that the siren could be heard throughout
Wildridge, but was diminished in volume in lower elevations. This has prompted not only the exploration of
additional sirens (or other devices) in lower portions of Wildridge, but other locations throughout the
northern hillside communities so that all residents and guests in this high-risk area of Town can be promptly
notified in the event of an emergency.
Computer Generated Coverage for existing siren Siren in Wildridge
Page 2 of 6
NEW TECHNOLOGY: The HPSA approach to emergency notification is quickly becoming accepted as a
more flexible, cost effective, user friendly alternative to traditional siren systems. These systems are easier
to deploy and have the added benefit of being able to provide text-to-speech messaging. HPSA and siren
technology carry their own strengths and weaknesses. While a hybrid system (Siren(s) + HPSA
combination) may be the ultimate solution for our northern hillside communities, the pros and cons of each
system are included here for consideration:
Sirens
Pros: Proven mechanical technology with effective range. This technology is long life (20-25
years), and typically few installations necessary to serve a large area. Low to no maintenance
required other than occasional testing.
Cons: High Power demand = higher installation cost per unit. Less possible locations due to size
of pole and power. No spoken word or variations in tone is possible.
(Additional 10V units estimated at $20K/per)
HPSA
Pros: Low profile design that can be mounted closer to the ground. Spoken word announcements
in addition to siren tones. Can be mounted to existing infrastructure (i.e. building), with less power
demand. These systems are easier to deploy. Claimed to be maintenance free.
Cons: More units are necessary to cover the same area as a siren system. Shorter life span per
unit, estimated at 10-15 years. Intelligibility of spoken word announcements is highly variable
depending on location.
(Estimated at $23K/per)
ELECTRICAL SERVICE: Given the high cost in running new electric service to the existing Siren location,
and other contemplated areas, proximity to existing power infrastructure is key when evaluating different
system types and resultant implementation cost. The HPSA systems requires 120v power, as opposed to
240v, and therefore the cost to site a system is less in upfront costs. The existing siren on Tract J,
Wildridge, currently does not have permanent power and is running on a generator system. The decision
to hold off on running power was based on the estimated cost ($50,000) to run power to the facility and to
finally determine if this is the best location for the infrastructure to be placed.
O’Neal Spur Pocket park, the Wildridge Fire house, and the Avon Annex locations all have electric service.
Other locations (Mountain Star) will likely require new service ($5,000-$10,000), with escalating costs the
further from the road the facility is located. The Tract J service cost is high given the length of the run up
the hill to the location.
COVERAGE: The inclusion of additional (smaller) sirens at O’Neal Spur Park and the former Wildridge
Fire Station site would support a more consistent siren volume throughout Wildridge. HPSAs installed at
O’Neal Spur Park and the former Wildridge Fire Station may be equally effective for this subdivision. The
Wildwood subdivision can be accommodated by a single HPSA (or siren) located at the Town’s Annex
property. Mountain Star has been surveyed by Sentry Siren company, and two general locations were
identified for testing purposes.

WILDRIDGE EMERGENCY EGRESS ROUTE: The Wildridge subdivision contains one point of vehicular
egress with Metcalf Road. This results in the potential for the primary evacuation route to become
obstructed in the event of a disaster. The annual Wildridge Wildfire Evacuation drill recognizes this
limitation and includes practicing a physical exit out the west side of Wildridge on a secondary unpaved
route. The drill includes vehicles traveling out June Creek Point Road, through access easement to United
States Forest Service (“USFS”) boundary and Road 717.1B (aka June Creek Spur), USFS 717 (aka June
Creek), USFS 717.1A, to USFS 774 to exit through the Edwards trailhead at Berry Creek Road. The route
requires high clearance vehicles, steep elevation profiles, and excessive time. This extensive route also
travels west toward other potential hazard locations.
The concept to evaluate an egress route directly from Wildridge to the Singletree community has been
discussed for years. Physical obstructions (rocks) and narrow platform make this route unsafe, especially
for the last stretch before meeting Singletree Road. Staff met with members of Berry Creek Metro District
and Singletree Community, Avon Police, Engineering Department, Community Development, and Eagle
River Fire Protection District to walk the route and determine feasibility this past spring. It was decided to
survey the last stretch before Singletree subdivision to come up with a formal design and plan to evaluate
further. A survey was completed in July. The survey confirms the narrower width of tread and the exact
location of the existing pedestrian and bicycle only alignment. The survey also reveals the proximity to
June Creek drainage.
Page 4 of 6
Staff engaged Yarnell Consulting & Civil Design, LLC, to design a safe road platform design for
consideration by the Singletree community. The design (see next page) indicates that an import of
materials to make a wider driving surface is warranted. Retaining wall(s) may be necessary to avoid
disturbance in the riparian setback of June Creek. Lastly, the plan would include removing the boulders at
either end of the route and replacing with emergency-only gate features.
DRAFT grading plan from Singletree Road to existing drivable surface

Evacuation Route/Emergency Access Route between Singletree and Wildridge
Page 6 of 6
NEXT STEPS FOR AUDIBLE EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS: The evaluation process continues to
proceed as follows:
1. Test HPSA unit(s) in northern hillside areas in Fall 2021, and document effectiveness.
2. Publish plan and background information on Engage Avon and other outlets for feedback.
3. Refine plan with siren(s) and HPSA unit(s) and present to Planning and Zoning Commission
(“PZC”) for referral and recommendation.
4. Return to Town Council will summary and description of recommended proposal, costs, and public
comments received.
NEXT STEPS FOR EMERGENCY EGRESS:
1. Complete engineering drawings, confirm necessity or not for floodplain permits.
2. Notify and consult with adjacent landowners the proposed plans.
3. Survey route as it travels from June Creek Trail to USFS boundary to confirm confinement in
access easement.
4. Meet with Singletree Property Owners Association (“SPOA”) and Berry Creek Metropolitan
District..
5. Eagle County application for variance to work within stream setback, if necessary.
6. Update to Town Council, and next steps outlined.

RE: 2022 Community Grant Program
DATE: October 8, 2021
SUMMARY: On July 26 2021, the application materials for the 2022 Town of Avon Community Grant
Program, found as Attachment A, were published on the Town website and advertised for a thirty-five (35)
day period. In addition to posting on the Town’s website, a press release was submitted on July 26, 2021
announcing the availability of application materials. Regular social media posts were published on the
Town of Avon Government Facebook page. Over the course of soliciting funding requests, the Town
received seventeen (17) funding applications.
The Avon Town Manager and Finance Director provided direction to set $92,000 as the maximum amount
of money for the 2022 Community Grant Program funding that the Ad Hoc Review Committee’s funding
recommendations shall not exceed.
The Ad Hoc Review Committee met on October 5, 2021 to review the submitted applications. The review
focused on the Application Review Guidelines included in the application materials. Committee members
considered proposals that provided the most public benefit to Avon residents and visitors in the areas of
arts, culture, education, environment, health, heritage, human services and recreation in the Town of Avon.
Past funding levels, available funds, potential for on-going requests, filling a funding or service gap and
general priorities for all applications were also considered in the funding level recommendation, which has
been provided in this packet for Council consideration.
The Ad Hoc Review Committee reviewed seventeen (17) applications for funding in 2022, totaling $92,700
in cash requests and $1,084 for in-kind contributions. The Committee has recommended funding in the
total amount of $88,950 in cash and $1,084 for in-kind contributions. The committee set aside a
recommended amount of $3,050 as a contingency for unforeseen contributions. The contingency amount,
combined with the recommended cash funding amount, equals $92,000. The recommended contingency
amount is approximately 3% of the approved maximum amount. Community Grant Program cash funding in
2021 equaled $99,400.

It would be helpful to know how many people from Avon participate in the walk. The walk occurs in Eagle, and they contribute $1,000. Their budget does not show any other municipal support. For future applications, the Ad Hoc Committee would like to know how much of the money raised at the event goes to the local community vs the national organization.

According to their application, there is a large year‐over‐year deficit. They currently get front range support and are looking to be more self sufficient. We will give a gentle nudge to ask for more funding in future years.EAGLE VALLEY LAND TRUST$6,000 $5,000 $5,000 $1,500 $1,000 YESStewardship & Outreach ‐ Future Conservationists program, Community Land Connection Series, Weed Warriors.$6,000.00The committee expressed concern that we are billed for trail management and oversight as a Town ‐ but that program is through Vail Valley Mountain Trails Alliance. The Land Trust does not receive any separate funding for trail maintenance and oversight. In the future, we would like to see an Executive Summary (as requested) in order to better understand the organization's mission and purpose. The committee would also like to see more specificity in reporting of who is participating in these programs, when they occur, and a unit of measurement of how many weeds are being pulled. Town leadership will discuss whether this organization should become a community partner instead of a grant.ATTACHMENT 2 ‐ 2022 COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FUNDING SUMMARYTOTAL AWARDED IN 2021 = $99,4002022 NOT‐TO‐EXCEED AMOUNT = $92,000

In addition, their proposed budget only allocates $7,500 in Town funding. The committee would like to see the remaining $2,500 go to equity in STEM education as proposed in the application. HOPE CENTER OF THE EAGLE RIVER VALLEY$10,000The Hope Center just launched as a separate 501(c)3; thus, the agency Mental health clinicians at Avon Elementary School offering free clinical behavioral health support.$10,000.00The Hope Center also receives $19,500 in funding from Avon PD as part of their crisis contract. The Community Grant funding is completely separate from the crisis contract and specific to funding a full‐time clinician at Avon Elementary School.LOAVES AND FISHES CAFÉ ‐ EAGLE RIVER PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH$3,000 $0 $0 $0 $0 NOWednesday Night Dinners at Eagle River Presbyterian Church.$3,000.00The committee would like to see data tracking the people served through these dinners and recommended working with the United Way to understand where people live and who is being served. The committee recommended using the TOA grant funding as a match for individual contributions because their budget is not sustainable. Use our funding as an incentive to increase additional sources. In addition, more detailed financials for this specific program would be helpful. The committee expressed concern over the $2k spend on advertising.MOUNTAIN YOUTH$5,000Four (4) 5‐punch ARC cards valid at $216$5,000 $5,000 $3,500 $2,500 YESOutreach programming including Eat Chat Parent family behavioral health series; Aprendiendo Juntos, Families in Action, Communities that Care.$5,000.00Four (4) 5‐punch ARC cards valid at $216The committee noted that TOA is the highest municipal funder.

It would be helpful to share direct results of program and how their programming is positively impacting their participants.SOS OUTREACH$8,500 $4,000 $7,500 $4,000 $2,000 YESOutdoor mentor‐based programs for Eagle County Youth ‐ four year program that matches peer group with positive adult mentor.$8,500.00The committee noted that this is a large organization operating outside of Eagle County and some members have worked directly with them. It was also noted that $900k annually go to salaries and no other local municipalities support them financially but they get huge in‐kind donations from Vail Resorts. They are not able to serve people with physical disabilities. A large portion of the population they serve is Latino.
SPEAKUP REACHOUT$5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 YESSuicide prevention and stigma reduction project ‐ includes formal training programs for suicide prevention ‐ including Unlocking Behavioral Health in Eagle County course. In addition, they are funding a mural art installation.$5,000.00There were several questions about he mural project including where it will be located and whether the Town has a recommended location for the mural. Based on the budget presented, Avon is funding 1/3 of entire project budget. If mural falls through, the committee would like the funds to be reallocated to another area of SURO and would rather have all funding go towards suicide prevention training programs. The lack of funding from a diverse group is concerning. Funding will require clarification on the mural so funds go to suicide prevention programs. UNITED WAY OF EAGLE RIVER VALLEY$5,000 YESYouth Closet & Toy Chest ‐ provides free clothing, school supplies, diapers and wipes and case management to caregivers of infants and youth.$5,000.00This was a first‐time application from this organization, who does not get any funding from other municipalities. It was started last summer in response to COVID and the cancellation of the annual rummage sale. They may lose the operating space in the next year and the committee asked whether Avon has any in kind space to use. VAIL MOUNTAINEER HOCKEY CLUB$3,000One (1) 10‐punch ARC card valued at $74$0 $3,000 YESProgram of Excellence ‐ Scholarship fund for families who cannot financially afford to support their children to play club hockey.$2,000.00One (1) 10‐punch ARC card valued at $74Although the application disclosed that there are 22 players from Avon, next year the committee would like to see more detail on who receives the scholarships, including whether they are serving a diverse population through that fund. The committee would like to know what funds are needed to sponsor one Avon player and the income level of scholarship recipients.VAIL VALLEY ART GUILD$5,000 $2,500 $6,000 $4,000 $4,400 YESArt the Valley ‐ Promote awareness and growth in the visual arts in the community.

RE: Mud Flow Future Mitigation Actions
DATE: October 21, 2021
SUMMARY: On July 22, 2021, an intense thunderstorm dropped 0.8 to 2.0-inches of rain within an hour on
the hillside north of I70 in Avon. The subsequent runoff caused the largest water and mud flows seen in
decades. The runoff and debris clogged storm drainage infrastructure and damaged 7 residential
properties. This memo summarizes the steps for future mitigation actions.
STORM EVENT: At 3 pm on Thursday, July 22, 2021, a large thunderstorm tracked over Avon dumping
between 0.8 to 2.0-inches of rain. The closest rain gage, operated by the United States Geologic Survey
(USGS) at the Avon Wastewater Treatment Plant, measured 0.85-Inches of rainfall between 3 and 4pm.
The regional National Weather Service radar indicated that the center of the storm was located over the
hills north of Nottingham and Swift Gulch Roads and dropped upwards of 2 inches. We estimate the storm
was a 20-year event or has a 5 percent probability of occurring in a year. For reference, a 100-year rain
event drops 2.8” of rain and has a 1 percent probability of occurring in a given year.
RAIN AND MUD IMPACTS: The hillside north of Nottingham and Swift Gulch Roads is very steep and
poorly vegetated. As a result, the rain runoff occurs quickly and contains significant debris, rocks and mud.
The debris quickly clogged the drainage pipes under Nottingham and Swift Gulch Roads. Water and mud
flowed from Swift Gulch Road onto Avon Road and eventually to the Eagle River causing traffic disruptions.
Runoff also went through the pipes under I70 where possible but near the 600 block of Nottingham Road,
the I70 drainage pipe was blocked and debris ran over the interstate, causing a temporary closure (shown
below). Flow continued to Nottingham Park and over West Beaver Creek Blvd. toward the residential units
and lake.

Nottingham and Swift Gulch Roads historically encounter mud and debris flows during large thunderstorms
and the Public Works crews clean up the debris and unclog drainage pipes after each event. This runoff
flooded several units at the Sonnen Halde and Beaver Bench Condominium developments. These two
complexes have experienced flooding during past rainfall events, although this was the largest that the
residents recall.
MITIGATION STEPS: The most effective solution to fully mitigate mud and debris flow is to construct large
sediment basins but this in not practical because there is not enough land available north of Nottingham
and Swift Gulch Roads to accommodate them. Sediment detention basins have been constructed above
Buffalo Ridge Apartments and have successfully mitigated mud and debris flows. The two ponds have 40-
foot tall dams and retain 102,800 and 375,616 cubic feet respectively.

Staff is working with contractors to complete the following tasks to mitigate damage from future events:
1. Analyze available rainfall information to better understand the magnitude of the storm and potential
frequency of it re-occurring. The rain gage at the sewer plant measured 0.8” of rainfall, while the
NEXRAD radar showed over 2” of rainfall. Determining the rainfall is important first step to verify
the accuracy of rainfall values in the Stormwater Master Plan. Accurate rainfall projections dictate
the runoff and flows which are used to size drainage and infrastructure improvements. This
analysis shall include an assessment of future rainfall events as a result of climate change.
2. Develop recommendations for site specific mitigation measures for the Beaver Bench and Sonnen
Halde Home Owner Associations to implement. The report outlining the recommendations should
be completed in 30-days.

3. The high amount of mud and debris generated from the rainfall events can always be expected to
result in clogging of drainage pipes. TetraTech will assess the existing drainage pipe infrastructure
and develop surface routes when feasible – rather than pipes – to reduce risks from clogging and
subsequent flooding damage.
4. Develop regional mitigation measures along Nottingham Road, Swift Gulch Road and West Beaver
Creek Blvd. to reduce future damage to private developments and public infrastructure including
Avon Road. These projects will take at least a year to design and implement. Additional drainage
easements on private property will likely be required depending on final project designs.
5. Explore Federal and State grant opportunities available for funding mitigation projects such as the
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant. The first grant cycle deadline is
December 1st. They require a cost share of 25% with the Federal portion being 75% plus
preparation and management costs.
