TO: Honorable Mayor Phillips and Avon Town Council members FROM: Greg Daly, Chief of Police RE: Avon Police Department Chiefs Community Partnership Awards for the 2022 Shop with a Cop DATE: March 14, 2023
SUMMARY Honorable Mayor and Council, we are delighted to have the opportunity to present Chiefs Community Partnership Awards to community members, organizations, and businesses for their phenomenal support of our annual “Shop with a Cop” event that occurred on December 7, 2022. BACKGROUND For many years, the Avon Police Department has participated annually in Shop with a Cop with our other partner law enforcement agencies. In 2020 due to COVID and then in 2021 we decided to go it alone concentrating our efforts on our Avon children, picked by Principal Dana Harrison and Staff at the Avon Elementary School. Vail PD and a collaboration of Eagle PD, Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and the Colorado State Patrol had their own individual events in their jurisdictions. It just made more sense to bring our Avon children to Walmart and then back to the Town of Avon Council Chambers, all in the Town of Avon. Shop with a Cop is an amazing community event, allowing the Avon Police Department/ Town of Avon another opportunity to serve our community and bring enormous joy to twenty-nine children and their families. It is another opportunity to foster trust relationships between our community and the men and women whose mission it is, to protect and serve. It takes a village, and the leader of that village was School Resource Officer Colleen Gaspard. Officer Gaspard wanted to outdo her colleagues on previous “Shop with a Cop” events, and she certainly did. She raised nearly $10,000 in cash donations as well gift cards, sponsorship, and in-kind services from community members. Additionally, she organized a bus from Avon Transit/ Mobility. She worked closely with Dana Harrison, Principal, and her Staff at Avon Elementary School. Avon PD Officers picked up and transported with the assistance of Avon Transit, the twenty-nine Avon Elementary children. The kids under the supervision of a Police Officer, PD Staff member or a Firefighter from Eagle River Fire Avon Engine 7, got to spend $125 dollars on presents for their families and perhaps one for themselves. We have to remind the kids to buy at least one for themselves. After successful purchases, we drove over to the Council Chambers. The kids had pizza donated by Gondola Pizza and desserts donated by Foods of Vail. Home Depot supplied the decorations to festively lighten up the chambers. We then had a surprise visit from Santa Claus. In addition, each family received a card containing a $125.00 gift card to Walmart (for Christmas dinner), $25.00 gift card to Dominos and an Avon Police Department Christmas card.

Multiple parents have reached out to say how much fun their child had, how special they felt and how
amazing the Officers were.
The Avon Police Department has been successful in our “Shop with a Cop” activities because of the generous giving of local businesses and community members. This year, Chief Daly and his team are honored to recognize community members and several businesses in front of the Avon Town Council for their continued support and/or significant giving to our “Shop with a Cop” event. 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 Chiefs Partnership Award on behalf of the Town of Avon; CFSI Loan Management Keely and Brian Mingham Avon Liquors Vail Lights P. Furniture Warehouse Liquors Holy Cross Veterans of Foreign Wars Holy Cross Energy Gondola Pizza- Pizza Home Depot- Christmas decorations other supplies Foods of Vail- treats We also recognize all of Avon PD Volunteer Coordinator Patty Peterson’s volunteers/neighbors that came and helped wrap presents with the children. Thank you, Chief Greg Daly

TO: Honorable Mayor Phillips and Avon Town Council Members FROM: Chief Greg Daly and Deputy Chief Coby Cosper RE: Proposal for eight static Automatic License Plate Recognition Cameras on public streets entering into the Town of Avon DATE: March 14, 2023
SUMMARY: Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), also commonly referred to as License Plate Reader (LPR), is a force multiplier that can be a very effective community public safety defense tool. ALPR cameras can detect stolen vehicles, stolen license plates, associated arrest warrants, suspected illegal narcotic transportation vehicles, AMBER (missing, abducted, or endangered child) alerts, SILVER (missing at risk senior citizen) alerts, MEDINA (hit and run vehicle) alerts, Missing Indigenous Persons Alerts and other critical information assisting the Avon Police Department (APD) in taking proactive measures to protect our community and also provide for enhanced officer safety. PROPOSAL/ DECISION: We are proposing that the Town of Avon rent eight (8) static ALPR cameras from Flock Safety, who will install them adjacent to our four inbound off ramps at Mile Marker (MM) 167, MM 168 and at the four (4) entrances into Avon, off U.S. Highway 6 at West Beaver Creek Boulevard, Avon Road, Stonebridge Drive, and Post Boulevard in order to create a virtual fence to protect our town. The current annual subscription cost is $2,500 per camera per year and an initial $350 installation charge per camera. The annual charge is increasing to $3,000 as of April 1. Flock Safety does all of the installation and assist with permit requests to the Colorado Department of Transportation (if in their right of way) Total Y2023 cost would be $22,800 (including installation charge) with an annual recurring subscription fee of $24,000 per year (for 8 cameras x $3,000). Flock Safety will stand over the $2,500 fee if we contract for one year to three years (if we sign before April 1). The Avon Police Department has applied for a grant through the 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG). The deadline for the grant was Thursday March 9th at 3:00 pm. If the grant application is successful, the grant would pay for the first-year subscription. If not successful, we would request $22,800 for year 1 with a recurring fee of between $20,000 (if $2,500 per camera per year) or $24,000 (if $3,000 per camera per year). BACKGROUND: License plate recognition technology has been successfully used in the United States for many years. ALPR technology allows for the following:
1. Can alert to criminal activity i.e., stolen vehicles, stolen plates, Report Every Drunk Driver Immediately (REDDI) reports, Be on The Look Out (BOLO) alerts 2. Can be a deterrent to vandalism and drug distribution 3. Can alert to individuals on terrorist watch lists 4. Can notify of Amber (abducted child or endangered), Medina (hit and run vehicle) and Silver (missing senior) alerts and Missing Indigenous Persons Alert 5. Can track criminal activity, where a criminal actor is entering into an area, and on what frequency 6. Using vehicle fingerprint technology, identify a vehicle based on some basic vehicle descriptors where officers can rapidly identify the vehicle and or routes of suspects
Page 2 of 5
7. The Town of Avon experienced 10 stolen vehicles in 2019, 10 in 2020, 11 in 2021 and 7 in 2022.
There are a variety of ALPR vendors, but industry leader Flock Safety is offering a particularly attractive product for the following reasons:
Annual cost of $2,500 plus installation fee of $350 is economical for this level of technology (current pricing).
Can contract for a minimum of 12 months out to 36 months, paying on an annual basis.
Communicates by LTE mobile phone technology.
The individual ALPR cameras can be independently powered by solar panels or connected to existing power sources on existing lamp posts. Flock Safety did an initial evaluation of our eight entrances, and we could mount the cameras on existing Town of Avon lamp poles and possibly tap into the existing power within the poles. Further discussion between flock installers and our facilities/ electrician would need to occur.
Provides accesses to National and State criminal information databases.
It is connected nationwide and shares information among other law enforcement agencies using Flock Safety technology.
“Vehicle fingerprinting” technology allows for instances where no license plate information is available. The high-definition cameras can search for vehicles based on witness identified physical vehicle characteristics, i.e., red truck with stickers on driver side rear window or blue sedan with roof rack. This technology may identify a vehicle leaving the scene of a crime, based on limited vehicle descriptors or limited numbers from a license plate.
Can rapidly be accessed from officer’s cellular phones or in vehicle computers during instances of a child abduction.
Can interface with our current Axon in-car camera ALPR technology and have a wider base of vehicle information. Avon Police Patrol vehicles have license plate recognition built into our Axon Fleet 3 in-car camera systems. There is an excellent potential synergy between the static cameras and the in-car cameras in locating suspect vehicles, person alerts etc.
Flock Safety comes with proprietary software for installation on patrol vehicle mobile data terminal (MDT) and cellular phones.
Flock Safety software already integrates with our existing Axon Evidence.com evidence/camera software
In line with privacy, Flock is an industry leader with a retention period of 30 days only. The following Colorado jurisdictions have either installed, are in the process of installing or have signed a memorandum of understanding with Flock Safety to include: Prowers County SO, Boulder PD, Montrose PD, Northglenn PD, Keenesburg PD, Thornton PD, Hudson PD, Town of Lyons, City of Castle Pines, Broomfield PD, Castle Rock PD, Elizabeth PD, Douglas County SO, Cherry Hills Village PD, Columbine Valley PD, Lafayette PD, Louisville PD, Glenwood Springs PD, Erie PD, Golden PD, Boulder County SO, Montezuma County SO, Dolores County SO, Hotchkiss Town PD, Kremmling PD, Routt County SO, Larimer County SO, Mountain Village PD, Colorado State Patrol, Arapahoe County SO, Denver PD, Jefferson County SO, Colorado Springs PD, Fort Morgan PD, Vail PD, Fort Collins PD, Lone Tree PD, Colorado State Parks, Town of Superior, University of Colorado PD, Thornton PD, Craig PD, Steamboat Springs PD, Littleton PD, Loveland PD, Westminster PD, Johnstown PD, Simla PD, El Paso County SO, Pueblo PD, Morgan County SO, and Telluride Marshals Dept. Commander Ryan Kenney of Vail PD said that Vail is currently exploring the addition of 12 Flock Safety ALPR cameras as a potential project in 2023. Over two thousand cities/towns nationwide are protected by Flock Safety LPR/cameras.
Page 3 of 5
In speaking with Commander Todd Brown with Castlerock PD (CPD). He said that CPD has experienced huge successes since they initially piloted Flock Safety in March of 2021. They started with 10 cameras, went to 20 and now are installing up to 30 cameras at all their ingress points into Castlerock. They are also adding some cameras for municipal parking lot security. Castlerock has enjoyed a 44% reduction in motor vehicle thefts since installing Flock Security LPR cameras. Glenwood Springs PD installed 10 cameras on December 17th, 2022. Chief J. Deras referred to their initial experience as “Outstanding”. He had experience from a previous jurisdiction where homicides had been solved using Flock Safety LPR technology. He said that that the Flock Safety cameras have contributed to solving the following criminal incidents in Glenwood Springs;
• Vehicular homicide vehicle (this suspect was at large for several months. Within a few weeks of the camera system, Glenwood Springs PD located him and took him into custody)
• A robbery vehicle from the metro area
• An armed and dangerous vehicle from the metro area
• Four (4) stolen vehicle recoveries.
• Armed home invasion suspect vehicle.
• Stolen plate
• Several wanted persons associated with the plates and present in vehicles.
• A parolee/sex registrant who was in violation.
• Evading suspect vehicle (He fled several times – eventually officers identified him, caught up with him and he was arrested.
• Assisted an up-valley police department by verifying that a stolen high-end trailer did not transit through Glenwood Springs. There are some similar competitors in this space, but we are recommending Flock Safety as a sole source /preference partner for the following reasons:
One of the most prominent ALPR vendors in the United States with over 2,500 clients.
Have many customers in Colorado and expanding.
Intelligence link to their cameras and information from other jurisdictions across the nation
Reasonable cost per camera on a subscription basis.
Vehicle identification/Fingerprinting technology
Collaboration integration with Axon technology (provider for our in-car and body cameras).
Has National NCIC and State CCIC databases
PRIVACY CONCERNS: The Flock Safety system only collects high quality 4k still photo images (not video), taking only photos of the rear of vehicles (not collecting image of occupants faces), protecting the privacy of occupants with NO facial recognition and with NO speed or redlight violation detection capabilities. The system is NOT tied to Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and not used for traffic enforcement. There is a built-in audit trail. Information is not shared with private entities like Carfax, tow companies, etc. Information is only shared with other law enforcement agencies. This system is placed along publicly travelled roadways. There is a 30 day only retention period. There would be an addition to our current ALPR department policy to include static ALPR cameras. This system is designed as a defensive crime prevention/investigative tool, not big brother.
Page 4 of 5
Part of the rationale for an LPR defensive ring around Avon, is to detect stolen vehicles coming into town, as they are the main mode of travel for criminal actors who may be planning on stealing motor vehicles in Avon. Receiving that intelligence in a contemporaneous way, will allow Avon Police Officers to interdict/ intervene in the criminal actors plans to commit crimes in Avon. Some information regarding Colorado Auto Theft.
Colorado continues to lead the nation in motor vehicle theft. Ranked #1 in America in 2021, in the first 6 months of 2022 (January – June), the motor vehicle theft rate increased another 17.2%.
At the current rate of 4,007 thefts per month, motor vehicle thefts are on pace to exceed 48,000 for the year—an all-time high. The estimated total value of these stolen vehicles is between $468.1M and $848.3M, on the road to nearly $1B.
Arrests are not keeping pace with theft. The arrest rate per motor vehicle theft is 9.4%, down from 15.5% in 2019.
Cars are being stolen from those who can least afford it.
o 85.6% of vehicle thefts are vehicles valued at $24,999 or less.
o 63.5% of vehicle thefts are vehicles valued at $14,999 or less.
As of September 8, 2022, four Colorado cities rank in the top ten in the United States for motor vehicle thefts (out of 185 cities), including Denver (2), Aurora (3), Westminster (8), and Pueblo (9). These four cities combined, account for 53.3% of the vehicles stolen statewide in the first quarter of 2022.
According to Commander Mike Greenwell with Colorado Metropolitan Auto Theft Task Force (C-MATT), “97 percent of the people who have been arrested in the last three years for auto theft have multiple arrests for auto theft.”
The number of secondary offenses related to motor vehicle theft has increased more than six-fold since 2008. Drug crimes involving motor vehicle theft have increased 1,110%, violent crimes involving motor vehicle theft 521%, and property crimes involving motor vehicle theft 583%.
More motor vehicles are stolen from Denver International Airport than any other location in Colorado and account for nearly 3% of all motor vehicles stolen statewide. https://commonsenseinstituteco.org/on-the-road-to-1-billion-in-vehicles-stolen-the-data-trends-behind-colorados-motor-vehicle-theft-crisis/ “Auto thefts continue to explode in Colorado” Denver 7, Jan 9, 2023 https://www.denver7.com/news/crime/auto-thefts-continue-to-explode-in-colorado FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
$2,500 subscription fee per camera/solar panel per year with an initial $350 installation fee. Flock Safety completes the installation.
The $2,500 annual subscription is increasing to $3,000 as of April 1, 2023. If we sign before April 1, we avail of the $2,500 for the first year or more.
Initial agreement can be for 12 months or up to 36 months. The benefit of contracting beyond the 12 months would be the $2,500 per year rate versus the $3,000 rate.
Page 5 of 5
As previously stated, the Avon Police Department has applied for a grant through the 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG). If successful the grant would pay for the first year subscription. If not successful, we request $22,800 for year 1 with a recurring fee of between $20,000 (if $2,500 per camera per year) or $24,000 (if $3,000 per camera per year). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that the Avon Town Council authorize the purchase/subscription of eight (8) automated license plate recognition cameras from Flock Safety in an amount of $22,800. By going to a subscription-based platform, the maintenance, upgrades, and replacement of the equipment will be included in the annual subscription, making the cameras more cost effective over time. After a year of evaluation, findings on the pilot program can be provided to the Avon Town Council for discussion on continuation or modification of the number of cameras. Town Attorney Karl Hanlon has reviewed the Flock Safety contract agreement and his changes have been accepted by Flock Safety. MANAGERS COMMENTS: I support this proposal. It will bring Avon in line with similar automatic license plater readers and is the fastest method of notifying Avon PD of vehicles on alert. I am confident that these readers will be used throughout the year to identify vehicles with warrants. I further recommend that Council approve the three year subscription to save $4,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Thank you, Chief Greg Daly and Deputy Chief Coby Cosper

TO: Honorable Mayor Phillips and Avon Town Council Members FROM: Chief Greg Daly and Deputy Chief Coby Cosper RE: Avon Police Departments Notice of Intent/ Request to use Facial Recognition Services in accordance with Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) 24-18-302 DATE: March 14, 2023
SUMMARY: Facial Identification/ facial recognition has evolved into a cutting-edge crime fighting investigative tool. Generally, there are two uses of facial recognition- “live view” at some airports for example, where faces on live security cameras are compared against an active database, or the more widely used, post incident/event facial identification comparison of “still” photographs against a photo database of known offenders (typically from arrest booking photographs). This report centers around “still photograph” facial identification and not live surveillance. The comparison of a still photographic image can provide a selection of possible investigative lead photographs that an investigator can compare with and analyze against. The investigator then builds his/her case with other independent evidence. Importantly, while facial recognition service ("FRS") results are valuable, the results of an FRS comparison cannot serve as the sole basis to establish probable cause in a criminal investigation. In June 2022, the Colorado State legislature passed Senate Bill 22-113 (SB113), which enacted C.R.S. §§ 24-18-301 through 24-18-309 imposing new requirements on local government agencies, including law enforcement, related to the use of facial recognition services. For purposes of the statute, FRS is defined as, “technology that analyzes facial features to facilitate the identification, verification, or persistent tracking of individuals in still or video images.” (C.R.S. § 24-18-301(5)(a)). The statute provides very limited exceptions for FRS used to open an electronic device (i.e., Apple’s Face ID feature) and for redaction of video recordings to protect privacy interests (e.g., redaction of body worn camera footage).
Investigative uses of FRS by law enforcement are subject to the statute, C.R.S. § 24-18-301, et seq. SB113 requires that a municipal police department that wishes to use or to continue to use an FRS for investigative purposes must file with its city council a “Notice of Intent” and thereafter an “Accountability Report” related to its proposed use of FRS.
Pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-18-302(1), this memorandum serves as the Avon Police Department’s Notice of Intent to Town Council that it will move forward with meeting the requirements of SB113 in order to utilize FRS in appropriate criminal investigations. BACKGROUND: The Avon Police Department has the potential availability of three facial recognition services (FRS).
The Colorado Department of Revenue- Division of Motor Vehicles, utilizing its database of driver’s license photographs.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation, utilizing post arrest booking “mugshot” photographs from Sheriff’s Offices primarily in the Denver metro area and from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Page 2 of 4
The Colorado Information Sharing Consortium (CISC) Regional Data Warehouse utilizing the Lexis Nexis/ Lumen information exchange IT platform. CISC is a consortium of eighty-seven (87) Colorado law enforcement agencies. The mission statement of CISC is “Making data-driven crime solutions available to all Colorado law enforcement agencies.” The database comprises of post arrest booking “mugshot” photographs from all of the Colorado member agencies that submit their booking photographs to the consortium (https://cisc.colorado.gov/).
Facial recognition technology must only be used for legitimate law enforcement purposes. Authorized uses of facial recognition technology are limited to the following: 1. To identify an individual when there is a basis to believe that such individual has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime; 2. To identify an individual when there is a basis to believe that such individual is a missing person, crime victim, or witness to criminal activity; 3. To identify a deceased person; 4. To identify a person who is incapacitated or otherwise unable to identify themselves; 5. To identify an individual who is under arrest and does not possess valid identification, is not forthcoming with valid identification, or who appears to be using someone else’s identification, or a false identification; or 6. To mitigate an imminent threat to health or public safety (e.g., to thwart an active terrorism scheme or plot). Senate Bill 22-113 was passed with an intent to regulate the use of and ensure adherence to many privacy concerns expressed by the legislature at that time. A law enforcement agency shall not apply a facial recognition service to any individual based on the individual's religious, political, social views or activities; participation in a particular noncriminal organization or lawful event; or actual or perceived race, ethnicity, citizenship, place of origin, immigration status, age, disability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation, or other characteristic protected by law. The purpose of this written report is to comply with requirements of Colorado Senate Bill (SB) 22-113 Artificial Intelligence Facial Recognition by firstly, providing a notice of intent, requesting approval from the Avon Town Council to use this technology for legitimate investigative purposes and secondly, to detail the required steps, we will take to ensure compliance with SB 22-113. After filing the notice of intent, and prior to finalizing an accountability report, an agency shall: (a) allow for a public review and comment period (open a comment section on our website); (b) hold at least three public meetings to obtain feedback from communities; and (c) consider the issues raised by the public through the public meetings. At least ninety days before an agency puts a facial recognition service into operational use, the agency shall post the final adopted accountability report on the agency's public website and submit it to the agency's reporting authority (Avon Town Council). The reporting authority shall post the most recent version of each submitted accountability report on its public website. An agency shall update its final accountability report and submit the updated accountability report to the agency's reporting authority at least every two years.
Another major point for consideration from this legislation is that any suspect candidates who are identified by a facial recognition solution are viewed “only” as an investigative lead and should not be viewed as the

sole basis for probable cause in a criminal investigation. The results are to be used by officers or detectives merely as possible leads in identifying a suspect in a criminal investigation. The officers and detectives will ensure that their decisions are subject to meaningful human review before proceeding with the investigation in accordance with C.R.S. § 24-18-303. Use of FRS will be in compliance with state law, and the limitations of C.R.S. § 24-18-307 will be respected.
The act prohibits an agency from using an FRS to engage in ongoing surveillance (like at an airport); conduct real-time or near real-time identification; or start persistent tracking unless the law enforcement agency (LEA) obtains a warrant authorizing such use, such use is necessary to develop leads in an investigation, the LEA has established probable cause for such use, or the LEA obtains a court order authorizing the use of the service for the sole purpose of locating or identifying a missing person or identifying a deceased person. Avon PD does not have any internal resources that would allow for real-time surveillance using FRS, but if we were to request that resource from an outside agency, we would obtain a search warrant per the statue. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 24-18-306, an agency must maintain records that are sufficient to facilitate public reporting and auditing of compliance with the agency's facial recognition policies. Accordingly, Avon PD will create an internal database to track when officers submit a photograph to any outside agency for facial recognition, tracking the requesting officers name, the case or event number for the inquiry, the type of investigation, the outside FRS agency that we are requesting to conduct a facial recognition search and if the facial recognition comparison led to any outcomes. This information will be incorporated into a statistical biannual accountability report for the Town Council. PRIVACY CONCERNS: As discussed, Senate Bill 22-113 was specifically created to ensure that privacy concerns are met by statewide law enforcement agencies. The Avon Police Department will adhere to the criteria set out by this bill. This system is designed as a crime prevention/investigative tool, to aid officers/ detectives in solving crimes against Avon citizens resident and guests and to bring justice for victims of crimes. TRAINING: Avon PD will provide periodic training to its officers educating them on the statutory requirements regarding the use of facial recognition services, the capabilities and limitations, image comparison principles, the procedures for using FRS, ensuring meaningful human review and the method of logging the FRS search on the department official FRS record keeping database. We have explored training through Ideal Innovations Incorporated for facial identification training courses. The basic four-hour introductory course costs $150 per officer and the more advanced 24-hour course will provide the participant with a system-agnostic foundation to Facial Examination. Participants will have the opportunity to conduct comparisons; learn key definitions, the stability of facial features, and contributions to facial uniqueness. Challenges within the discipline and agencies/organizations that are influencing the discipline are discussed. The 24-hour training costs $550 per officer. We intend that all officers will complete the four-hour course and the Department's two detectives will complete the 24-hour courses. Officers who use the FRS will consult with a detective on the images before they use the information as investigative leads. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: There is no cost to use FRS though Colorado Department of Motor Vehicles or the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. The Avon Police Department is a member of CISC, and we pay a subscription of $2,163 per year to use the Lexis/Nexus Lumen database (cost is already included in our budget). This covers our 21 commissioned officers. The LexisNexis/Lumen investigative tool covers many investigative database resources and within these resources is their facial recognition service.
Page 4 of 4
Nineteen officers will complete the four-hour course and two detectives will complete the 24-hour course, 19 x $150= $2,850 and 2 x $550= $1,100 for a total of $3,950 (to be taken out of professional development/training budget). STAFF RECOMMENDATION: We recommend that the Avon Town Council authorize the Avon Police Department’s use of the facial recognition services as an investigation tool, with the clear understanding that the Avon Police department will comply with the requirements of SB 22-113, open up an online comment section on our website to allow for a public review and comment period, conduct three public information/ listening sessions, complete the final accountability report with all of the required information and continue to operate under the Colorado Senate Bill 22-113, the related Colorado Revised Statutes, Avon PD policy, and create a database for FRS use sufficient to facilitate public reporting and auditing of compliance with the agencies use and data management. Finally, the Avon Police Department will complete a biannual Facial Recognition Service accountability report to the Avon Town Council.

TO: Honorable Mayor Phillips and Council members FROM: Elizabeth Wood, Communications Manager RE: 2023 E-Bike Work Session DATE: March 8, 2023
SUMMARY: In January staff provided a status update on the Avon E-Bike Rebate Program that has been
in place since November 2021. Staff then recommended to bring this back in a work session with Council to
potentially revisit the eligibility criteria and rebate objectives to make the program more accessible in
summer 2023.
BACKGROUND: In November of 2021, Council directed staff to create and launch an E-bike purchase
incentive program for full-time Avon residents. The goal of the program is to help Avon residents seek
alternative ways to run errands, commute to work, reduce carbon emissions, and get some exercise. The
program launched later that month, offering a $200 rebate to full-time Avon residents who purchased an e-
bike after November 20, 2021 with a minimum purchase price of $1,000. A $100 rebate is also available on
used e-bikes with a minimum purchase price of $500.
In December of 2021, the Avon Town Council elected to modify the program to require the e-bike be
purchased from a retailer in Eagle County. Furthermore, in May 2022, Town Manager Eric Heil amended
the requirements for Town of Avon employees, who were eligible for a rebate between May 1 and July 31,
2022 even if they live outside Town boundaries or purchased the e-bike from a retailer outside Eagle
County.
In 2022, Town Staff have received 47 E-bike rebate applications. Twenty-three were accepted and fully
processed. Twenty-four applications were denied, fourteen because the applicant was not an Avon
resident, eight because the bike was purchased outside Eagle County, and two because the applicant was
not an Avon resident and the bike was purchased outside Eagle County.
Applications Received Applications Approved Applications Denied
47 non-employee 23 24
BUDGET: The 2022 budget for the E-Bike Rebate program was $25,000. Of that, $4,600 was used on non-
employee rebate applications and $800 was used on employee rebate applications. In 2023, the budget for
E-Bike Rebates is $5,000 plus the rollover funds from 2022.
2022 Total Budget 2022 Used Budget 2022 Remaining Budget 2023 Budget
$25,000 $5,400 $19,600 $5,000
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends Council look at the program through a sustainability
lens rather than an economic development lens, and remove the requirement to purchase the E-bike in
Eagle County for bikes purchased on or after January 1, 2023. This will make the program more accessible
for all Avon residents and mirrors the E-bike purchase program for Town of Avon employees outlined in the
Sustainable Transportation Policy.
Page 2 of 2
SAMPLE MOTION: “I move to revise the eligibility criteria for the Town of Avon E-Bike Rebate program and remove the requirement to purchase the E-bike in Eagle County for bikes purchased on or after January 1, 2023” AVAILABLE ACTIONS:
1. Approve the sample motion as drafted.
2. Approve the sample motion, with modifications.
3. Continue to March 28, 2023, or other meeting defined by Town Council.

TO: Honorable Mayor Phillips and Council FROM: Ineke de Jong, General Government Manager RE: Council Consideration to Support Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Sign-on Letter DATE: March 8, 2023
SUMMARY: At the February 28 Regular Town Council Meeting, Council discussed the Mountain Pact’s request to sign onto the Colorado-specific letter (Attachment A) addressed to Doug Vilsak, Colorado's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) state director, urging the BLM to take action to protect more lands through tools they already have at their disposal. Council had several questions and staff was asked to bring back more information. BACKGROUND: The Town of Avon was contacted by Anna Peterson, who is the Executive Director of The Mountain Pact. This group is asking about Avon's support to sign onto the Colorado-specific letter (Attachment A) addressed to Doug Vilsak, Colorado's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) state director, urging the BLM to take action to protect more lands through tools they already have at their disposal. This letter will be open through mid-April at least. Individual officials (and former) can sign on though they'd love full councils/commissions to sign on. 55 Colorado local elected have signed on as of March 8. Communities that have signed up so far include all Eagle County commissioners as well as full councils of Aspen and Basalt. The current list of letter signers as of the date of this memo can be seen on pages 2 and 3 of Attachment B. Anna’s email (Attachment C) and more background information (Attachment D&E) are attached for Council review. If council is interested in supporting this effort, staff will work with the Mountain Pact to sign onto the letter to express Avon’s support.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: I recommend Council approve signing onto the letter as the Council or as individual Council members. Signing onto this letter is only a general statement to value natural resource and recreational uses. It does not create any commitments on behalf of the Town of Avon or impact any pending or future project. Participating in coalitions like Mountain Pact is an important avenue to have a more influential voice on federal land matters.
SAMPLE MOTION: “I move to direct staff to sign-on to the Colorado-specific letter in Attachment A to express Avon’s support in urging the BLM to take action to protect more lands through tools they already have at their disposal.“ AVAILABLE ACTIONS:
1. Approve the sample motion as drafted.
2. Approve the sample motion, with modifications.
3. Continue to March 28, 2023, or other meeting defined by Town Council.
4. Reject the motion if council is not interested in considering support.
Thank you, Ineke

Doug Vilsack, State Director
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Colorado State Office

Lakewood, Colorado 80215
Dear State Director Vilsack,
Colorado’s public lands are deeply valued by its people because they provide important health and economic benefits.
The 8.3 million acres of federal public lands within Colorado that are overseen by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
are particularly important. These lands support a diverse array of outdoor recreation activities and create jobs through
the tourism sector that are the backbone of many of our communities. They also provide important wildlife habitat and
corridors, which are integral to an intact ecosystem that make it easier for species to adapt to climate change.
As local elected officials in Colorado, we would like to express our commitment to protecting these landscapes which
provide so much to our communities. We commend BLM on recent agency guidance that prioritizes the health of public
lands and encourage the BLM to continue to place conservation at the forefront of the rulemaking that will occur in
2023.
These incredible public lands represent just a sliver of the many places within the BLM lands in Colorado that need to be
protected. This is why we were excited to see that rules for the designation of Areas of Critical Environmental Concern
(ACEC)have been clarified so that this type of designation may be prioritized during land use planning processes. The
designation of ACECs is an important step in ensuring critical ecosystems within our public lands are protected,since
they can help at-risk and endangered species recover, help clean watersheds, and preserve Indigenous culture.
Interconnected landscapes that allow species to reach new habitat areas is another important aspect of preserving
ecosystems. We would therefore also like to express our appreciation for the BLM’s recent guidance related to Habitat
Connectivity on Public Lands.
As the ancestral home of many Indigenous communities, Colorado’s public lands can especially benefit from
management that incorporates the knowledge and perspectives of native Tribes. Because of this, we support the BLM’s
commitment to incorporate co-stewardship between the federal and tribal governments into the management practices
overseeing these lands. We believe that this is not only good for the conservation and sustainability of Colorado
landscapes, but will also benefit our communities by bringing more, underrepresented voices to the table.
Finally, in addition to the conservation efforts we’ve highlighted above, we also strongly encourage the BLM to use other
existing tools to protect public lands across the state. In particular, we call your attention to designating new Wilderness
Study Areas (WSAs). The BLM has the authority to ensure that lands with wilderness character are administratively
protected as WSAs. These areas are often the first to be identified by our congressional leaders for legislative designation
as wilderness and for many of our communities these are the iconic landscapes that define our state.
The BLM’s mission is “to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment
of present and future generations.” For years BLM has prioritized extractive uses like oil and gas development
while largely overlooking sustaining the health and diversity of BLM lands.
As 2023 progresses, we look forward to the BLM prioritizing the conservation of our shared public lands. With
this in mind, we strongly encourage that the BLM rulemaking emphasizes ecological integrity, preservation of
vulnerable resources, and maintaining access to outdoor recreation. These efforts at the national level will
positively impact BLM lands in our communities and across Colorado.
Sincerely,

Subject: Re: Please sign by end of March - Re: Colorado BLM Sign On Letter
Thank you - this is incredibly helpful. I'll ask folks too, but here is some more background information as
well as the webinar we hosted in February that covered much of this and gives more background.
And yes, as Eric said, we make change through numbers! We send our letters to the administration and
congressional offices so the more folks we have signed onto letters, the better and more impactful we
are. See the current list of letter signers attached - the full Eagle County commissioner as well as full
councils in Aspen and Basalt have signed on.
Here is a map of BLM lands near Avon: https://blm-

Attached is more information on what ACECs, WSAs, etc. are. As the largest land manager in the
nation, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has a critical role to play in helping states like
Colorado combat the growing pressures we are managing by ensuring that we protect and conserve more of our nation’s lands and waters. The BLM manages 245 million acres of land largely spread across 12 western states. Note that recently the Durango Herald, Albuquerque
Journal, and New York Times have editorialized on this issue calling on the Biden administration and Interior Secretary Haaland to direct the BLM across the West to bring the agency’s mission (Multiple Use/Sustained Yield) into balance by focusing more on conservation.
Our nation’s public lands are tremendous assets to the American people, particularly here in Colorado. The state’s tourist, outdoor, and agricultural economies; as well as our local
communities’ health, land, water, and air quality all depend on having great federal land
management partners that ensure a balanced approach to resource management. Climate change is increasingly leaving communities across the state and the West struggling to manage
the devastating impacts from wildfires, floods, mudslides, drought, and heatwaves.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages 8.3 million acres in Colorado including three
national conservation areas, 54 wilderness study areas (WSAs), five wilderness areas, and
two national monuments. The agency also manages a national historic trail, a national scenic
trail, two congressionally designated management areas, five historic landmarks, a national
historic district with 56,333 cultural resource sites and two national natural landmarks.
These public lands are critical to
the state’s recreation and outdoor
economy, with $37 billion in annual
consumer spending, and are home
to hundreds of thousands of world-
renowned trail systems and remote
backcountry areas. These lands are
vital to Colorado’s big game and
wildlife populations with 700
species of fish and wildlife and
145 special-status plants and
animals. These lands also play a
critical role for farming and
ranching communities by ensuring
water resources and healthy
rangelands.
Yet, despite the important role BLM public lands play for communities across the state, only
16% are durably protected and 7% of these “protected” areas have pre-existing
development. Given the growing pressures and societal costs we’ve already seen from
climate change, the BLM needs to do more to ensure these special places are protected and
bring these lands into balance with our needs. Fortunately, there are some immediate
actions the agency can take, including:

Wilderness Study Areas: The BLM has identified nearly 2 million acres of Lands with
Wilderness Characteristics (LWCs) in Colorado. Many of these lands could be protected as
Wilderness Study Areas or otherwise managed to protect their outstanding wilderness
resources through the agency’s ongoing planning processes, such as the Colorado River
Valley and Grand Junction Field Office Supplemental EIS, and the statewide Colorado Big
Game Resource Management Plan Amendment, the Eastern Colorado Resource
Management Plan Revision and the upcoming Uncompahgre Resource Management Plan
Amendment.
New WSA designation or expanding existing WSAs in Colorado could be used to increase
conservation management for inventoried wilderness quality lands such as Castle Peak and
other wildlands along the Upper Colorado River, the Vermillion Basin and BLM wildlands
near Dinosaur National Monument, as well as wildlands in the Dolores River Canyon
Country.
Areas of Environmental Concerns: The BLM also manages over 700,000 acres of Areas
of Critical Environmental Concerns (ACEC) across the state. These are areas where BLM has
determined that special management attention is needed to protect important historic,
cultural, scenic or biological values. Unfortunately, these
are often areas of critical environmental concern in
name only. In Colorado, BLM has designated 92
ACECs to protect important resources such as cultural
sites, rare plant assemblages, scenic areas,
paleontological sites, and riparian habitats. While the
agency has identified these critical resources as
deserving of protection as ACECs, they are often not
managed as such.
BLM is correctly refocusing its attention on highlighting
the importance of ACECs in fulfilling BLM’s multiple use
and sustained yield mission while providing additional
clarifications to guide how BLM designates and
manages ACECs going forward. This renewed emphasis
will lead to new durable protections for critical
resources, but only if BLM acts swiftly to evaluate existing ACEC nominations and prescribe
meaningful protections for the resources therein.
ACECs are already used to help protect irreplaceable cultural sites and unique, fragile
habitats in places like the Dolores River Canyon Country in Western Colorado. Expanded
use of this under-utilized tool could protect wildlife habitats, riparian areas, cultural and
historical sites, plant species and stunning scenery broadly on Colorado’s BLM public lands.

Colorado Supports BLM Conservation
Lawmakers, businesses, and Coloradans across the state want to see more administrative
protections by the BLM. Senators Bennet and Hickenlooper, along with other western
Senators, sent the Administration a letter encouraging them to do more to protect more lands
managed by the BLM; and similarly, Representative DeGette also submitted comments to the
BLM encouraging them to protect more WSAs as part of the Grand Junction/Colorado River
Valley Resource Management Plan echoing similar calls for conservation in the region by the
Outdoor Recreation Coalition of Grand Valley.
In addition to our congressional leaders, and businesses, local elected officials who live in
communities that depend upon BLM lands have also called for greater protections. In May
of 2022, 57 Colorado elected officials joined more than 70 of their western peers on a
letter calling for greater BLM conservation, and Eagle and Pitkin counties joined the cities of
Aspen and Glenwood Springs on a letter
to the BLM state director calling for more
conservation on BLM lands around their
communities. Organizations also recently
urged the BLM to manage these lands to
maintain, improve, conserve, & restore
degraded fish and wildlife habitat to
increase habitat connectivity.
There is growing momentum across
Colorado and around the West for bold
conservation action by the BLM. This
action will be critical to ensure the
economic and environmental future of
communities across the state. As the
Grand Junction Sentinel pointed out in an
editorial, the BLM has done a great job
managing for multiple uses but they
need to do more to prioritize the
conservation part of their mission.
Similarly, The Durango Herald
editorialized in January 2023 saying,
“we’re calling on the Biden
administration and Interior Secretary
Debra Haaland to provide direction to
BLM in Colorado on using conservation
tools to protect the delicate, otherworldly places here in our backyard.”

Must Take Bold Action
For the Nation to Reach its Conservation Goals

Introduction
Western communities are experiencing many challenges that come with the ever-increasing
popularity of our public lands and growing infrastructure needs on top of devastating and
expensive climate impacts from wildfires, floods, mudslides, drought, and heatwaves. All of
these negatively impact tourist, outdoor, and agricultural economies; as well as the west’s
health, land, water, and air quality.
Scientific research
warns that if we are
going to stave off the
worst impacts of the
climate and
biodiversity crisis we
have to take bold
action. The Biden
administration has
made significant
commitments towards
addressing these
challenges. A part of
that work must include
aggressively using the
tools they have
already at their
disposal to durably
protect public lands.
As the largest land manager in the
nation, the BLM has a critical role to
play in helping the nation meet its
conservation goals. The BLM’s mission
is “to sustain the health, diversity, and
productivity of public lands for the
use and enjoyment of present and
future generations.” For years BLM
has prioritized oil and gas
development and grazing while
largely overlooking sustaining the
health and diversity of BLM lands.

With the growing need to take action on climate change and its increasing impact on the
land, BLM has to do more to bring its mission into balance. Done right, this is a huge
opportunity for to address the
climate crisis and ensure the health
of public lands into the future.
Protecting and sustaining these
lands in their natural, undeveloped
condition is crucial to combating the
effects of climate change as well
as providing continued
opportunities for outdoor
recreation, equitable access to
nature, and ultimately ensuring a
thriving and livable planet.
Across the West, BLM lands provide real, quantifiable carbon sequestration and climate
adaptation benefits and serve to conserve scarce water resources. These lands also serve as
critical climate refugia for wildlife species and play a vital role in ensuring habitat
connectivity across the West. In short, conserving Bureau of Land Management lands needs to
be at the heart of the Biden administration’s America the Beautiful initiative and
administrative actions, like those listed below, should be prioritized in efforts to protect,
conserve, and restore more of our nation’s lands and waters.

BLM Lands Are Vitally Important - Here’s Why
Our nation’s public lands are tremendous assets to the American people and in particular to
Western communities and economies. The 245 million acres of lands managed by the BLM,
largely spread across 12 western states, are also the connective tissue between our forests,
rivers, parks, and communities. BLM lands make up 10.5 percent of all lands in the country
and many of these remain in their natural state, ensuring wildlife habitat connectivity; clean
air and water for communities; as well as providing outstanding opportunities for outdoor
recreation. These lands include traditional homelands of Indigenous populations and
safeguard thousands of cultural and historic sites.
BLM lands are critical for
wildlife connectivity across
the West. Researchers have
concluded that our existing
national parks and other
protected areas are not
big enough to sustain native
wildlife. It is critical that
core protected areas be
connected by corridors –
natural areas that connect
vital habitats – to allow
animals and plants to move
freely across the landscape.
Across the West, these vital
habitat corridors are found
predominantly on lands
managed by the BLM - this
includes lands identified as
“Lands with Wilderness Characteristics” (LWC) and “Areas of Critical Environmental Concern”
(ACECs).
It's no secret that the West is suffering from a climate change driven drought that has made
water resources a critical issue for everyone. Here again, lands managed by the BLM have a
critical role to play in ensuring water across the west. Millions of Americans depend on waters
that flow through lands managed by the BLM and the agency acknowledges that ensuring
water quality for these populations is critical. In 2015 the BLM adopted a “Water Program
Great Bend of the Gila, Arizona.

Strategy” that was designed to make it a leader in “protecting water resources.” The only
clear way for the BLM to meet this commitment is by protecting watersheds - and that means
protecting more lands to prevent vegetation loss and soil disturbances, thus ensuring water
quality.
In addition to the
conservation value of these
lands, they also provide
critical economic certainty
for rural and gateway
communities, so long-term
investments can be made
to develop local economies
and infrastructure. Outdoor
recreation is a significant
economic driver in the
United States each year

Conservation Requires Action
The BLM Has The Tools, They Need To Use Them
The BLM has the existing tools and authorities to meet this moment. They must begin using
these more widely across the West to accelerate the scope and pace of conservation. Guided
by the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA),
these policies and regulations
enable the agency to better
restore, conserve, and protect
national public lands. Two of
the most important tools
available to the BLM under
FLPMA are Wilderness Study
Areas (WSAs) and ACECs.
Alone, fully using these tools
will make real progress to
help address the climate and
biodiversity crisis.
WSAs are BLM’s most durable and important administrative designation. The designation
ensures wilderness character is maintained on identified public lands, protecting the agency’s
wildest places, irreplaceable cultural resources, native species, and world class recreation.
There are more than 29 million acres of BLM-identified LWCs in the lower 48 states that are
eligible for WSA designation and millions more acres of community-identified LWCs that
should be considered for designation. To truly address the climate and biodiversity crisis and
protect our water resources, the BLM must embrace and use this tool to protect more public
lands.
ACECs are perhaps the most
versatile tool the BLM has at its
disposal. FLPMA directs the BLM to
give priority to the designation
and protection of ACECs. These
are places where special
management attention is required
to protect and prevent irreparable
damage to important historic,
cultural, or scenic values, fish and
wildlife resources, or other natural
systems or processes. For decades,

this designation has gone largely unrealized, with inconsistent identification, designation, and
management. To this day there are no national standards or regulations that define what
protection means for individual ACECs leading to poor management that in many instances
renders the designation meaningless. BLM should address these problems by implementing
clear regulations that ensure ACECs are truly protected. There are currently over 1,000
ACECs comprising over 20 million acres in the United States and many deserving places
waiting in the wings. FLPMA requires the BLM to prioritize the protection and designation of
ACECs as part of their planning processes and if the administration is going to reach its
conservation goals, BLM should be directed to meet this requirement.
In addition to WSAs and ACECs, BLM’s toolbox is full of other useful management tools that
should also be more frequently used to meet the conservation goals set by the Biden
administration. Other key conservation tools the administration could use through the
administrative process include:
► Backcountry Conservation Areas (BCAs) can be managed to conserve intact
wildlife habitats and support high quality wildlife-dependent recreation.
► Wildlife Migration Corridors can be established through coordination with states to
enhance and improve the quality of big-game winter range and migration corridor
habitat on Federal lands in a way that recognizes state authority to conserve and
manage big-game species and respects private property rights.
► Wild and Scenic Rivers can be identified by the BLM as eligible and suitable for
further protection through the Resource Management Planning (RMP) process.

There is Strong Support for More BLM Conservation
The Navajo Utah Commission, U.S. Senators, and congressional representatives have called
on the BLM to use these administrative protections. Many Western Senators have called on
the Secretary of Interior to push for more BLM conservation. They joined other Senate
conservation champions from around the country in calling for administrative action.
Additionally, Oregon senators
have called for more BLM
conservation and noted that
“protecting lands managed by the
BLM is the single biggest
opportunity the administration has
to make conservation progress.”
They were joined by Sen. Padilla
and Rep. Huffman who also wrote
a letter to the California BLM
State Director calling for more
BLM administrative protections as
part of planning processes.
In addition to Tribal and congressional leaders, local elected officials who live in communities
that depend upon BLM lands have also called for greater protections. In May of 2022, over
120 western local elected officials sent a letter to Interior Secretary Haaland calling for
greater BLM conservation as well.
Additionally, businesses, Latino communities, and conservation organizations have repeatedly
and overwhelmingly urged the BLM to take bold conservation action. These calls have been
highlighted frequently in media coverage. These actions will be critical to ensure the economic
and environmental future of communities across the region. As a New York Times piece
recently noted, lands managed by the BLM may be the administration’s biggest opportunity
to bring the agency’s mission into balance by focusing on doing more to conserve wildlife
habitat, access to nature, recreational opportunities and economic stability for rural
communities as well as the protection of watersheds and fresh water.

TO: Honorable Mayor Amy Phillips and Council Members FROM: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer RE: Work Session East Park Improvements, Interim Site Options Harry A. Nottinghmam Park DATE: March 10, 2023
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting direction for interim development options for the East Park Improvements, located at the former Town Hall site in Harry A. Nottingham Park. The East Park Improvement Project is a proposed development of the former Town Hall site and consists of a 41-stall restroom building, consession stand, park plaza, seating wall, picnic area, placing electric power lines underground and relocating electrical infrastructure. The former Town Hall was demolished in 2021 and the site currently is graded from the park recreation trail down to the south parking lot and is reseeded with native grass vegetation. The East Park Improvements were designed in 2021 and approved by Council in January 2022. The project was bid out in November and only one bid was received from A.D. Miller Services Inc. in the amount of $8,516,384. The estimated total project cost for the East Park Improvement Project is $10,460,535, which is $7,610,535 more than the $2,850,000 budgeted for this project. Council decided not to move forward with the project as designed and requested Staff to present options for the interim development of the site. Staff will present options to Town Council on April 13, 2023 to discuss the long-range development options and financial scenarios for both the East Park Improvements and North Restrooms.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Capital Improvements Program Budget currently includes $2,850,000 for the East Park Improvements. There is $2,527,000 remaining in the project budget. Previous incurred expenses include design fees, surveying, geotechnical exploration and testing, foundation design, site grading, revegetation, and utility exploration.
SCHEDULE: Upon receipt of Council direction, the landscape plans and bid documents can be prepared in 60-days. Zehren, the landscape architect for the East Park Improvement Project, can prepare the new landscape and grading plans for $29,500. The new plans require a re-design of the site and grading plans and revisions to the material plans, planting plans, plant schedule, graphic keys, and bid forms. The project can be bid out and contractor selected in 60-days. Construction can commence in mid-September after the summer events season. The excavation and grading can be completed in 2023 and the landscaping installed in May/June 2024 prior to the 2024 summer event season.
COUNCIL DIRECTION: Staff is requesting Council direction to move forward with development of an interim site plan for the East Park Improvements site, formally the Town Hall site. If Council decides to move forward, there are 10 additional components that can be included in the project.
TOWN MANAGER RECOMMENDATION: I recommend moving forward with all the elements described above (i.e. 1 through 12). This work is part of the restroom and park area improvement plans and needs to be done regardless of a redesigned restroom. A redesigned restroom can be built in the planned location without impacting the work described in this report.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to direct Staff to develop an interim site plan for the East Park Improvements site and to include the following components in the design (specifiy desired items 2 through
11).”

TO: Honorable Mayor Amy Phillips and Council Members FROM: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer RE: Resolution 23-03 Revising Fee Schedule for Construction Work Within the Public Right-of-Way DATE: March 9, 2023
SUMMARY: Council is being asked to consider Resolution No. 23-03 (Attachment A), Revising Fee Schedule for Construction Work Within the Public Right-of-Way (ROW). Staff reviewed the ROW fee schedule that was updated in 2013 and recommends several changes to reflect the Staff time required to manage the ROW permit program and reimburse the Town for related expenses.
DISCUSSION: The Fee Schedule for Construction Work within the Public ROW was last revised on April 9, 2013, via Resolution No. 13-12. Fees are intended to cover the cost of Staff time for administration, plan review and inspection of construction work within Town ROW by parties other than Town of Avon employees or its agents. For 2023, the Engineering Department is taking over administration of ROW Permits from Operations. The Town receives approximately (45) ROW Permit Applications in a typical year for construction work, mostly utility connections, upgrades and repairs related to water, sewer, gas, electric and communications. Construction work within the Town’s ROW is only permitted between April 15th and November 1st. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Engineering department reviewed current ROW Permit fee schedules for Eagle County and the Towns of Eagle and Vail. The proposed revisions to fees generally align with those in the County and neighboring Towns and include provisions for purchasing the Town’s preferred fiber optic conduit when installation is required as a condition of the permit. Staff is recommending the following 2 changes to the fee schedule:
• The boring fees are increased to $6/square foot of disturbed area in landscaped areas, $10/square foot in paved areas, $2/square foot in native grass and a linear bore length fee of $1/foot. The existing fee for boring is $50 per location. The increased fee is recommended because considerable Staff resources are required for boring projects in order to repair and locate landscaping, irrigation and electrical services.
• New fees are recommended for the installation of fiber optic conduit. Previously, Council updated the municipal code to require the installation of fiber optic conduit in road cuts. The new fees will reimburse the Town for providing the conduit and pull boxes to the permittee. The Town collected approximately $42,000 through permit fees in 2022. Engineering Staff will compare revenue vs expense at the end of 2023 and revise the fee schedule accordingly in the future. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests Council approve Resolution 23-03, revising the fee schedule for construction work within the public right-of-way.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution 23-03, revising the fee schedule for construction work within the public right-of-way.”

TO: Honorable Mayor Amy Phillips and Council Members FROM: Tim Thompson, Project Engineer RE: Notice of Award - Nottingham-Puder Ditch 2023 Repair Project DATE: March 10, 2023
SUMMARY: Staff requests Council authorization to issue a Notice of Award for the Nottingham-Puder Ditch 2023 Repair Project to Mocon Pacific, Inc. This repair is for the non-piped section from the head gate located under the I-70 bridge over the Eagle River down to the Village (at Avon) near Home Depot. Currently, the ditch does not provide a reliable source of non-potable water because it leaks approximately 2 cubic feet per second; enough to fill Benchmark Lake in Harry A. Nottingham Park every year. The project will reinforce the ditch and stop water from infiltrating into the soil. The project includes clearing the ditch of excess vegetation, grading it to a constant slope, installation of a new flume and the HDPE Trapezoidal Ditch Liner System. DISCUSSION: The Nottingham-Puder Ditch diverts water from the Eagle River under Eagle-Vail I-70 interchange and terminates at Buck Creek near the Public Safety Facility. The ditch provides irrigation water to Post Blvd, East Beaver Creek Blvd, the Public Safety Facility, as well as Benchmark Lake in Harry A. Nottingham Park. It will eventually provide water to future park facilities in the Village (at Avon) development.
MAP: Nottingham-Puder Ditch. - Segment Due for Repairs is in Red
970-748-4078 tthompson@avon.org
The ditch is partially piped through developed portions of the Village (at Avon). The section requiring repair starts at the head gate down to Nottingham Ranch Road near the Eagle River Presbyterian Church. This section leaks approximately 2 cubic feet per second when operating, or 357 acre-feet per year, approximately the size of Benchmark Lake in Harry A. Nottingham Park. This project will clear the ditch of excess vegetation, grade it to a constant slope and install 2,160’ of HDPE trapezoidal liner to stop the water loss. Below is a typical section of the Intelliditch lining system that will prevent the water from leaking.

The Traer Creek Metro District (TCMD) maintains the park located between Home Depot and Wal-Mart and owns the water rights in Nottingham-Puder Ditch required to maintain the park. TCMD is aware of the project and fully supports it. The Nottingham-Puder Ditch should be operational by May 16th for the Town to irrigate the Post Blvd. landscaping and for TCMD to irrigate the park and operate the water feature in the Wal-Mart park. The Nottingham-Puder ditch crosses lands owned by Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Union Pacific Railroad and the Eagle River Presbyterian Church. Town Staff is negotiating a Temporary Construction Easement Agreement for a portion of church land for equipment staging. The contractor will be required to obtain a Union Pacific Railroad Right-of-Entry permit, and Colorado Department of Transportation Special Use Permit. In addition to these agreements, the contractor is required to obtain an Eagle County grading permit. The project was bid out last month on BidNet Direct and three bids were received. In addition to the Base Bid, four (4) Bid Alternates were requested: demo and removal of the concrete channel, a concrete tie-in between the headgate and ditch liner, backfill (only if suitable backfill is unavailable on site), and ditch liner granular bedding. The engineering design firm Wright Water Engineers, Inc., prepared a Cost Estimate of $365,900 and $110,000 for the four bid alternates. Staff is recommending Mocon Pacific, Inc., the contractor with the lowest Base Bid. Mocon Pacific, Inc. is an experienced western slope contractor, currently finishing up the Metcalf Road Culvert Repair Project. Below are the bidders and the Base Bid amounts: 1) Mocon Pacific, Inc. $ 744,134 2) Meridiam Partners, LLC $ 757,799 3) Frontier Environmental Services, LLC $ 781,978 The Bid Alternates for Mocon Pacific totaled $220,270. Bid Alternate Items will only be approved by the Director of Public Works if site conditions require them. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE: The construction performance period is 9 weeks beginning late March until May 26, 2023. If the ditch is not open by May 16, 2023, the contractor will have to bypass pump 1.0 cfs to provide water to TCMD and the Town for irrigation. The contractor will provide the water into the ditch at Nottingham Ranch Road by pumping water from the Eagle River or providing a water tanker truck. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The CIP budget includes $818,750 for engineering design and construction for the Nottingham-Puder ditch repairs. For budgeting purposes using the Base Bid of Mocon Pacific, $744,134 plus their Total Alternative Bid, $220,270, equals the Total Base Bid and Alternate of $964,404 shown in the table below:
970-748-4078 tthompson@avon.org

which Skinner responded in the affirmative. She then asked which reference guide the Town will be
selecting, Plant Select or Colorado Native Plant Society. Skinner explained this reference will be
included in the Town’s guide but not in the Ordinance itself. Skinner added that it will be Colorado
Native Plant Society because it has specific content for these mountains. Councilor Thuon asked if
there has been any public input and Skinner answered not much, other than some positive
responses. Councilor Thuon added he is surprised that no negative feedback was received, and

Video Start Time: 00:18:58
Cultural Arts and Special Events Manager Danita Dempsey delivered her presentation related to the
approval of Resolution 23-01. Councilor Hardy asked how often noise complaints come from special
events. Dempsey said not often, and she can only think of maybe two. Town Manager Heil stated
he can only think of one, a resident of Nottingham lake who complains of noise often over the
course of the summer. Councilor Andrade asked logistical questions related to retaining special
events approval in the hands of Council instead of relinquishing it to administrative approval. He
added he prefers to give approval separately to each individual event, to allow for the public to be
aware and voice their opinions on special events. Heil explained that individual approvals would be
labor intensive. Councilor Andrade said he is sometimes bothered by sound from special events.
Councilor Hardy said she is not. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood said she understands Councilor
Andrade’s point of view. She then said these approvals are for recurring special events. Mayor
Phillips asked if decibel readings have been taken at these events. Heil responded that a decibel
reader has now been purchased but not yet used at these events. Heil added that based on the
number of residents that surround the space for these special events, complaints have not been an
issue.
There were further deliberations related to damage deposits for special events, past and projected
attendance numbers, costs, profits, impacts to the neighborhood, in-kind services, economic impact
measurement, and use of intercept surveys and neighborhood surveys. Councilor Carroll suggested
there be a local’s discount for tickets to promote their attendance.
Councilor Stanley added that these recurring special events are what the town has been working
toward and waiting for. She added it is a great opportunity even though she understands the
concerns raised. She asked what attendance and complaints the Winter Wonder Grass festival
brought. Dempsey said attendance was approximately 4,200 for the largest day (Saturday), and
complaints were related to snowfall in early in September that inconvenienced attendants.

Councilor Stanley asked if there is a possibility that tickets won’t sell out, and Dempsey responded
that it is highly unlikely based on the talent involved in these productions. Councilor Stanley
expressed her support.
Councilor Andrade added to his concern that the Town is not thinking things through. Councilor
Hardy expressed support and excitement for the public’s and talent’s interest in this Town.
Councilor Thuon voiced his support and suggested doing it for not one or the other but for a couple
of weekends in a row. Mayor Phillips said all these events can be executed well and echoed support
for Councilor Carroll’s request that there be a discounted ticket price for locals, because events this
big in the park intrude on locals. She added that she thinks two nights in a row of concerts would
really help the economy and occupancy of hotels stating this will bring a big boom.
No public comments were made. Councilor Carroll presented a motion to approve Resolution 23-
01. Councilor Hardy seconded the motion. It was approved with a 6-1 vote, with Councilor Andrade
voting nay.
5.4. Resolution 23-02 Supporting the grant application for the completion of the Eaglebend Pocket Park
(Deputy Town Manager Patty McKenny)
Video Start Time: 00:56:50
Deputy Town Manager McKenny delivered her presentation related to Resolution 23-02. Additional
discussion ensued related to adjusting figures in the Resolution. McKenny explained if Council is
supportive of the Resolution, they may consider including an amendment to it with two changes: to
increase GOCO Funding Level at $375,000 (an increase of $50,000) and increase Town Contributions
to $175,000 cash and $45,000 in-kind contributions (an increase of $25,000), based on the
encouragement of the GOCO rep. Town Manager Heil added it represents a focused strategy to
become more aggressive at applying for grants. He explained there is a need to redo this park, with
or without a grant, stating both McKenny and Recreation Director Michael Labagh made a
competitive application. He ended his remarks explaining that the increase in numbers originates
from the concern of the GOCO rep to ensure that if the grant is awarded, the project will be
completed and have a successful outcome. Councilor Stanley thanked them for their work, as did
Councilor Andrade who expressed agreement on this topic. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood referred
staff to page 114 and a picture of daffodils and a town sign, saying the picture is of the railroad
corridor and not the park expansion and needs a correction. Councilor Thuon stated the numbers
looked lean and he supported the increase in funding for this project and thanked McKenny for her
work.
No public comments were made. Councilor Stanley presented a motion to approve this Resolution,
as amended. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood seconded the motion. It was approved with a 7-0
unanimous vote.

requested updates to the January Appointments to Avon’s Boards and Commissions. Among the
updates discussed, Mayor Pro Tem Underwood proposed that Mayor Phillips be the primary
member of CAST. For Health and Rec, there was no alternate who volunteered and Councilor
Andrade remained primary in this position without an alternate. For the I-70 Coalition, Public Works
Director Eva Wilson was designated primary and Town Manager Eric Heil her alternate. For
NWCCOG, Councilor Thuon replaced Mayor Pro Tem Underwood as primary and Senior Planner
Jenna Skinner his alternate. For UERWA, Heil was designated first alternate, and Councilor Carroll
was designated second alternate. For the EGE Air Alliance, Mayor Phillips became primary and
Councilor Carroll her alternate.
No public comments were made. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood presented a motion to approve these
updated appointments. Councilor Hardy seconded the motion. It was approved with a 7-0
unanimous vote.

Accountants (Finance Director Scott Wright)

5.7. Discussion on Council Support for Colorado Bureau of Land Management Sign-On Letter (General
Government Manager Ineke de Jong)
Video Start Time: 01:28:00
Town Manager Eric Heil delivered an introduction to the discussion. Councilor Carroll said he has
concerns and lacks understanding to support the letter he is being asked to vote on and would like
more information. Councilor Andrade expressed the same concern, as did Councilors Thuon and
Stanley. Heil suggested this discussion be continued to invite BLM to answer Council questions.
5.8. Work Session: Capital Improvement Plan (Town Engineer Justin Hildreth)
Video Start Time: 01:39:00
Town Engineer Justin Hildreth delivered his presentation. After deliberations, Town Manager Heil
stated the list included in the CIP presentation has many unknowns on figures because estimates
will vary greatly. He added all items won’t fit in the budget so more discussions will be needed on
the long-term vision of the Town’s expenditure. He encouraged Council to study this topic ahead of
the June retreat that will focus on long term planning, adding there are challenges for understanding
the needs of the coming decade and how they get financed. Mayor Phillips asked if Council wants
to edit the list. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood stated her preference is for the list to conform with the
priorities list, with community housing at the top instead of the bottom. Councilor Andrade raised
questions related to the roundabout’s funding. Councilor Carroll raised questions related to the lake
liner’s 20-year replacement schedule and added that he would like the Finance Committee to get
involved in it all. Heil detailed that Hildreth has worked carefully to create an inventory of Town
infrastructure and a replacement schedule for it. Councilor Carroll asked questions related to how
the Town obtains bids and estimates, and Heil suggested this topic be included in a work session.

Mayor Pro Tem Underwood asked questions related to the CIP presentation. Councilor Thuon
wondered at which point it makes sense for the Town to invest in its own paving equipment. He
added he has placed sets of plans for the park bathrooms in the hands of some contractors and he
thinks something positive may come from that. No public comment was made which concluded
deliberations.
5.9. Large Ticketed Event Opportunity (CASE Manager Danita Dempsey and Town Manager Eric Heil)
Video Start Time: 02:15:05
Councilor Hardy asked Mayor Phillips to remind the public that ample discussion on special events
was had during deliberations for Item 5.3. related to Resolution 23-01. Thereafter, Councilor Stanley
presented a motion in support of this opportunity. Councilor Hardy seconded the motion. It was
approved with a 6-1 vote, with Councilor Andrade voting nay because the promoter for the event
was not present to discuss it.
5.10. Waiver Conflict of Interest Employment with the Town (Town Manager Eric Heil)
Video Start Time: 02:17:51
Town Manager Eric Heil delivered his presentation on the topic. Councilor Andrade expressed
concern on the waiver and added it sets bad precedent. Councilor Stanley asked if former Mayor
Sarah Smith Hymes reached out to the Town, and Heil explained on the contrary, he did because of
her knowledge and experience which are valuable to the Town.
A recess took place at 7:23 p.m. due to technical difficulties and the internet being down, disallowing
broadcast and public comment. Broadcast issues resolved at 7:38 p.m. (Video Start Time 2:22:45) at which
time Council reconvened. Zoom did not work at this time, precluding additional public comment by Zoom.
Councilor Hardy asked if former Mayor Smith Hymes wanted to work alongside Sustainability
Coordinator Charlotte Lin. Heil answered in the affirmative and added both would be direct reports
to General Government Manager Ineke de Jong. She then stated she understands the views of
Councilor Andrade but is torn in her decision because 6 months aren’t a long wait. She also added
there’s not a lot of financial gain for the former Mayor and the work-load is important. Mayor Pro
Tem Underwood asked the Town Attorney to read the provisions related to Councilor conflicts of
interest. She then added she doesn't think this sets bad precedent. Councilor Carroll agreed with
Tamra that in this instance, it doesn't set a bad precedent because it’s good for the Town and
waiting 3 more months to hire her doesn’t make sense. Mayor Phillips added the reason for this
exception is because it is mutually beneficial as opposed to different situations in the past where
the only benefit was for a former councilor and not the Town, so she expressed support for the
waiver. Councilor Thuon also expressed his support.
Councilor Thuon presented a motion in support of this waiver. Councilor Carroll seconded the
motion. It was approved with a 6-1 vote, with Councilor Andrade voting nay.

Town Attorney Karl Hanlon delivered his presentation to Council and recommended they approve
the release. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood reminded Councilors that the Town was the sponsor of the
initial bonds for Eaglebend Dowd to do business as Kayak Crossing, which is why it has a role in this
process given that the sponsor has to approve the refinancing. She then asked that the motion
specify it refers to Eaglebend Dowd. With no public comment, Councilor Thuon presented a motion
to approve the release. Mayor Pro Tem underwood seconded the motion. It was approved with a
7-0 unanimous vote.
5.12 Monthly Financials (Senior Accountant Dean Stockdale) [Formerly Written Report 7.1.]
Video Start Time: 02:34:33
Councilor Carroll noted the accommodations tax included in the financials for 2022 is down. He
asked if 2021 was anomaly. Town Manager Eric Heil expressed what 2021 saw a huge return to
traveling so accommodations were busting at the seams. He added revenue for businesses was
better than ever, but brought more anxiety than ever and overwhelmed some. He explained that
this demand has tapered off or disbursed to other locations so the accommodations tax reduction
is to be expected. Councilor Andrade added that international travel opened up around the world
which has also caused this reduction. Councilor Andrade noted the one consistent increase is in the
cigarette tax. Heil noted the increase in Avon residents may be the cause.

Video Start Time: 02:40:40
Councilor Thuon raised a question related to the HR process to qualify to drive a Town vehicle. He
then expressed concern that Eagle is per-capita the leading County for teen suicide. He wondered
if there is a way to figure it out and added he was troubled because a friend of his children said
they planned to kill themselves. He invited the public to call 988, the suicide prevention hotline, if
they feel the need to.
Councilor Carroll thanked Public Works Director Eva Wilson, her staff and the contractors involved
in the ongoing road work on Metcalf Road because they are putting up road work signs when they
are there in the day and putting them away at night so that you can’t see them.

Mayor Pro Tem Underwood spoke of the UERWA meeting she attended where the Colorado River
District made a presentation on the Colorado River, also known as the big river, and offered to
share that outstanding presentation and materials to her fellow Councilors. She then asked her
fellow Councilors to think about whether their Town-provided iPads work well for them to use in
fulfillment of their duties. She acknowledged iPads can make it hard to nav igate materials and
added that if anyone wants to trade their iPad for a laptop, they can do so by reaching out to the
Town Manger’s office.
Mayor Phillips stated that the Mayor-Manager meeting on February 17th was positive and brought
an interesting discussion about what different Towns are doing about diversity, equity and
inclusion. She then added the Town of Vail, Eagle County and Avon are working together to
quantify housing stock in construction-phase to get an understanding of all projects and the
countywide housing deficit. She then added there are ongoing conversations around mitigating
Glenwood Canyon road-closures. Town Attorney Hanlon added that C-DOT will loosen criteria used
in preemptive shutdowns related to possible flooding this spring and summer which should lessen
closures.

Demonstration gardens Eric Heil said the Town of Avon is installing demonstration gardens and has applied for a grant with the Colorado Water Conservation Board.
Quarterly financial report Jim Cannava discussed the report and noted operating revenue was below budget projections due to decreased water use during irrigation season.
EPA Interim Health Advisory for PFAS and Public Notification
Brad Zachman and Kailey Rosema reported on voluntary sampling for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). They said results from several
facilities in the Authority and District’s water systems detected levels above the 2022 EPA interim lifetime health advisories, which were greatly reduced
from the 2016 health advisory levels to below what analytical methods can detect. Account holders will be directly notified per CDPHE requirements.
Proposed “Do Not Flush” Wipes Legislation
Kristin Moseley said the District is working with state legislators to introduce legislation requiring “Do Not Flush” labeling on certain types of disposable
wipes sold in Colorado. The legislation has received support from wastewater agencies; and the House and Senate bills will be introduced by
bipartisan co-prime sponsors.
Conditional water rights deadlines Kristin Moseley discussed upcoming diligence deadlines on several of the Authority’s conditional water rights.
House Bill 23-1023 Kathryn Winn discussed legislation introduced in the Colorado House of Representatives that would raise the threshold on contract costs requiring public bids on special district construction projects.

review to the Minturn Town Council, the ERWSD board, and UERWA board at their respective February meetings.
The following is a summary of items discussed at the Jan. 26, 2023, Joint Meeting with the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District board of directors.
UERWA Directors present and acting were Chair George Gregory, Treasurer Geoff Dreyer, Kevin Hillgren, and Mick Woodworth.
Water Conservation Program Siri Roman introduced a proposed water conservation program and said the program will result in greater water use reductions compared to water budgeting. David Norris said a conservation billing structure would eliminate the single family equivalent (SFE) multiplier being applied to water use tiers, which would result in more equity between low and high SFE properties. Diane Johnson said the program will include communication campaigns aimed at
informing and motivating customers to make water use changes. The board unanimously supported the strategy as presented, including tabling water budgeting rate structures, adopting the water conservation program, and eliminating the SFE multiplier for water use on single family residential and duplex accounts. The board further directed staff to move forward with implementing the program under a one-year timeline and to repurpose an
existing full-time employee to hire a Water Conservation Supervisor. Irrigation account rates will also be evaluated in the coming months.

3. MINUTES
Committee Member Doug Jimenez motioned to approve the minutes from January 19, 2023. Committee Member Calyn
Rieger seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.
4. STAFF UPDATE
CASE Manager Dempsey provided background to the strategic plan and 10-year vision and explained that these will be brought to the CASE Council Joint Work Session in April. The 10-year vision and strategic plans are included in the
committee packet (available at Avon.org).
CASE Manager Dempsey went through the 10-year vision and explained what was added and removed since the last time (February 2022) it was worked on. For signature events, Ultimate Après Avon and Triple Bypass were added and the Circus was taken off. For activation events, Egg Hunt, Winter Fireworks, Holiday Tree Lighting, Vail Valley Brew Au’ and Ice Skating on Nottingham Lake were added. The Weekly Art Expo was removed, and Art Pop Ups were added as there is room to add more art type events to our portfolio in different venues such as Main Street Mall.
Town Manager Eric Heil then gave the background of the 10-year vision and stated it is in its fourth revision and was developed by himself and CASE Manager Danita Dempsey. He shared that there has been a shift from multi-day ticketed festivals and 3rd party producer events bringing in visitors to more community focused events. The purpose of the document is to look at the next 10 years compared to where we are today and decide should we stay, or should we develop more? We know the town is growing and that it is important that we provide a competitive visitor experience from other mountain towns. When people come here and live here there are a certain number of experiences they expect, and events are one of them. Looking at the town growing, we will be having more development that is above and beyond what the original document stated, the 500 additional units is low. With the amount of development and growth planned for the future, it will provide a bigger base for events. That being said, the field can only hold so many events over the year. For example, after the Circus it took the field 2-4 weeks to heal, and it shows that the field must have rest days.
CASE Manager Dempsey asked the question, “at what point does the expense outweigh the revenue from a lodging, dining, retail expense due to build out”. Town Manager Heil stated it would be another 40 years and detailed out the zones that were undeveloped to help the committee better understand the available space in Avon.

CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES, 16 FEBRUARY 2023 PAGE 2 | 5
Town Manger Heil continued saying, compared to what we are doing and what is the maximum potential, there is not a whole lot of room in between. Currently, July and August are already full, and we don’t need to do a large event in the middle of summer. Early June and after Labor Day, the town is not full and those are the areas this group should focus on. Those time frames would include Best of the West in June and a large ticketed multi-day event in mid-September. In September we go up against Oktoberfest, but Heil believes we have plenty of clientele to do both events at the same time. He continued, stating these two events would add two additional signature events, but he does not see a lot of room besides that. The council is concerned about visitor numbers, the community around the park, too much music, the price tag, etc. He explained that the bids for the restroom building were rejected but that there is still time to drill down to what we really want to see for that structure. He finished by stating we are in a really good place.
CASE Manager Dempsey wrapped up with stating at a staff level, we think the 10-year vision is a great roadmap to help
plan the future. At a committee level, you need to tell us what you think of the new additions to the 10-year vision. She further explained that it is a living document and will need continual updating.
The Committee commented/inquired:
A. Parking is an issue everywhere and throwing out an idea of paid parking near the park (Old Town Hall Site)
B. Do we need to revise the 10-year plan? Are the bigger events still on the table in that plan?
C. I believe there is room for Best of the West and Heart and Soul. It seems like we would be going backward if we did
not implement those. We worked hard to put these events in place, and they fit our goals. I would like to stay with
the course and follow through with what we identified. D. Does Block Party change our strategic plan for mid-August?
Town Manager Heil responded that one of the options for the Old Town Hall Site is parking. We looked at paid parking, it
was approved but the council then they ended up not wanting to move forward with it. There are concept plans to build a
parking structure next to the Rec Center with 300 spaces and a parking lot on Lot B but it is very expensive.
CASE Manager Dempsey continued explaining that we are on the right track for bringing in bigger talent. We have learned
in spades we need a more recognizable level of talent to stay competitive with our peer communities and currently we are
not at that level. If we want to start to show gains and growth, we need to start bringing in bands with equity. We are currently recognized as a potential venue that could host large bands and ticketed events and need to further identify what works in our schedule and staffing.
Strategic Plan: Strategic Events
CASE Manager Dempsey went through the events in the 10-year vision starting with Best of the West. She went into detail about the Best of the West event and what it would entail including that it would take place on the third weekend in June as no one else has equity in that weekend in the Vail Valley.
The longer-term goal for AvonLIVE! is twelve shows, and we are currently at eleven and started the series with just four. We are now known for Wednesdays and that is what CASE set out to do. She also said that the team added sponsorship to the 10-year vision for additional revenue sources to the event. Town Manager Heil stated that with increases in pricing and competitive set out there, we need to add $5,000 to each of the local bands and $10,000 to national acts.
The Salute to the USA budget was increased due to costs going up (security, fencing, portlets, staffing). Triple Bypass is back this year and explained it was in Vail the last couple of years, but the organizers decided it would like to be back in
CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2023 HYBRID FORMAT IN PERSON AT AVON TOWN HALL AND VIRTUALLY ON ZOOM
CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES, 16 FEBRUARY 2023 PAGE 3 | 5
Avon and council supported. Avon Arts Celebration started in 2020 and has proven to be a great fit and we expect that event to continue to grow. For Dancing in the Park, over time we would like to see an increase in guests.
For Signature Events in Avon, August may have room for one or two opportunities for additional programming including XTERRA, which is not on the 10-year vision because it is not guaranteed we will get the USA Championship, however we will always host the swim portion of the Mountain Championship as will Beaver Creek. Eventually, it is going to come with a price tag like $50,000 to get it here but may be worth the investment as it is on a world stage vs. regional stage. Labor Day weekend’s signature series is Summer’s End. We got great traction the first year, this past year, the band was not enough draw to pull from other events and activities over the weekend. The concert was strategically on Monday of LDW and for the community and those they may have worked over the holiday weekend.
To round out Avon Signature Events, Heart & Soul is a ticketed multi-day event in September. Dempsey explained, it is rare to launch a ticketed event and make money the first year, we will need to gauge council’s appetite for loss if we decide to go this route as it can take 3 years to start making revenue. It takes time to build a brand but could potentially turn into the biggest thing we do.
Town Manager Heil said for Heart & Soul to work, we need to load up with incredible talent and make a ticket value that is worthwhile and cap it at 10,000 guests. He explained there is a lot of risk with weather and day of sales. CASE Manager Dempsey jumped in saying that you can never hang your hat on ticket sales, it is bars, merch, lodging, etc. that the revenue comes from. She also explained that the expectation from guests when it comes to a ticketed environment is the entire culture and vibe of the event not just the music. People are looking for immersive experiences above and beyond seeing a band on stage, and immersive art experiences come with a hefty price tag.
The Committee commented/inquired:
A. Best of the West would compete against Telluride Bluegrass Festival, but it could play into helping us with routing.
B. The opener and the headliner for AvonLIVE! works well for us, it is longer than one act and offers flexibility for
families and guests.
C. The vendors we had at AvonLIVE! were great but can we get more?
D. Look at bringing in “Soul” food to Heart & Soul, add in culture in addition to music.
E. Video walls and screens were a game changer, and we should continue to invest in this for our shows.
Special Events Coordinator Chelsea Van Winkle explained the balance of vendors is tricky and we are still seeing that
industry bounce back from COVID, but our goal is to add more at our events.
10-Year Vision: Activation Events
CASE Manager Dempsey went through the Activation Events on the 10-year vision included in the committee packet
(available at Avon.org). She explained that for the Art Around Avon sculpture program the walking tour piece has been
pulled out for now, but it is possible it will be brought back in the future when there is more equity in the program. The Art
Pop Experiences (used to be Weekly Art Expo) may not be the right fit but could eventually help weave in art and culture to our other experiences and give opportunities to collaborate with stakeholders. In the plan there are 6-10 ticketed Terrace Shows and she declared that the Terrace is unique to Avon and capitalizing on it is key to the strategic plan. Lakeside
Cinema has the opportunity for additional elements to help grow the event to see if it has longevity. Vail Valley Brew Au’ is
CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2023 HYBRID FORMAT IN PERSON AT AVON TOWN HALL AND VIRTUALLY ON ZOOM
CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES, 16 FEBRUARY 2023 PAGE 4 | 5
not in the signature event section as it may have less opportunity for growth due to the sheer number of beer festivals
happening throughout the state in the summer.
CASE Manager Dempsey then detailed out potential winter, art, and culture activations stating there could be storytelling at
Lettuce Shed Lane, Holiday Tree Lighting, Thanksgiving activation, Icing in the Park which could be ambient in style and
include ice skating on Nottingham Lake with live music. For the winter, the original premise for Fireworks in Avon was if we
don’t launch fireworks in July, that we launch them in the winter. She stated that it is hard to launch a brand if it is a moving
target and considers always having fireworks over MLK weekend and that the length and capacity of the show changes
based on July 3rd fireworks. Fire and Ice is another event concept that could be a month-long activation and include a giant
bonfire and event at the end of the month. Spring break may potentially allow for that window of time.
A key component in adding additional events in the summer or winter is the need for additional staff.
The Committee commented/inquired:
A. I like the idea of the Holiday Tree Lighting with some type of “sledding” around the lake.
B. Vail Resorts is really wanting to open earlier and earlier so there are more people here around Thanksgiving time.
C. It is a lower time in lodging around Thanksgiving so it would be more focused on community before the holidays.
D. It is a tricky time with Beaver Creek opening.
E. When are the holiday lights on in Avon?
F. It would be hard to pull off a whole week of Holiday Tree Lighting, but I like the idea of opening and closing events. G. I like having a week as it gives everyone an opportunity to attend. It would make it more accessible.
H. I have seen it; it is incredible what the small team is doing. They deserve to get another staff member.
I. The Fireworks in January had an amazing impact.
J. Consider the simulcast for Fireworks in January.
K. Have a hard time separating Fireworks in January and Fire and Ice. Meld the two together and fireworks kick off
Fire and Ice.
L. Do like the idea of ice sculptures on the mall. M. January and February are the coldest times for ice sculptures.
Town Manager Heil acknowledged that Avon does not have the same walkability as other towns, so it makes it hard to bring
a holiday shopping experience. We may also want to look at an opening and closing day celebration that book ends the ski
season. He thought that maybe a bigger name band at Ultimate Après Avon would draw away from closing weekend and be
able to be our “book end”. He said to strike the idea of a Thanksgiving event or activation due to timing. He also explained
that making an investment in ice skating makes him nervous because it is rolling the dice. He stated he heard that we do
winter fireworks every year and agreed. Our holiday lights are timed with the Beaver Creek ski season (Late November).
CASE Manager Dempsey elected not to do the simulcast at the January Fireworks due to operations and cost. We learned
that the barricade was not enough to keep people out of the exposed area so we need chain link fencing for 2024 which will
increase cost.
5. CLOSING COMMENTS
Town Manager Eric Heil suggested we commission an art piece for Roundabout #4 and stated that an additional mural
seems appropriate. He explained that we do not need to reference the URA, the language is out of date.

The Committee commented/inquired:
A. Some of the items in the Long-Term plan under Placemaking, we are already doing. Do we need to move those into short term?
CASE Committee Danita Dempsey commented that she feels although we have completed some of the Long-Term goals,
they are not full to completion yet so she would like to leave them in the Long-Term.
