Relationship between EVTA and ECO
Transit
•ECO Transit, as the county’s current regional transportation provider, will form the backbone of
the EVTA service.
•For the immediate future, current ECO Transit services and routes will be maintained using existing funding
from a previous voter-approved half-penny sales tax that is collected County-wide.
•ECO Transit services will not be impacted to communities—including Gypsum, Leadville and Lake
County—that are not currently EVTA member jurisdictions.
•Other local transit services—including Avon, Vail and Beaver Creek—will continue to run as
before, but there will be a higher level of coordination with EVTA.
•EVTA and ECO Transit have begun the process of transferring existing ECO Transit operations,
equipment and funding into the new authority. This process will happen over the next two years.

EVTA’s Challenges
Three areas of focus critical to building up EVTA’s capabilities:
1.Creating appropriate mechanisms to make organizational decisions and collect,
allocate, and account for sales tax and financial resources.
2.Developing short-, medium- and long-term operational plans that match EVTA’s
goals and the ballot language
3.Transitioning from ECO to EVTA while meeting staffing and equipment needs for
EVTA to operate an expanded transit system
Eagle Valley
Transportation Authority
EagleValleyRTA.org
ECO Transit Transition
•Top priority is transitioning ECO Transit from the county to EVTA.
•Includes moving staff, vehicles, facilities and other assets from county ownership to EVTA ownership.
•Also includes development of an independent technology platform to support general administrative and
transit-specific technology needs such as vehicle location, communication, and passenger counting
systems.
•EVTA working with county on intergovernmental agreements to address the many components of
transition.
•EVTA needs to put in place benefits, insurance and other HR processes before existing ECO Transit
employees can transition over.
•Eagle County will continue to operate ECO Transit until transition elements are finalized.
•We expect the full transition of operations from ECO to EVTA to take place in 2024.
•Current ECO Transit routes will provide the backbone for future EVTA expansion.
Eagle Valley
Transportation Authority
EagleValleyRTA.org
Progress on Future Planning
∙Fehr & Peers is finalizing recommendations regarding implementation of a Fare Free
Zone. This plan will consider costs, resource needs, and implementation timing and be
used to develop an action plan.
∙Preparing the RFP to begin a long-term (10 year) transit development and capital plan.
∙This is a companion piece to the fare free zone implementation plan, which is focused on
delivering that service as soon as feasible.
∙Developing 2024 organizational budget to include budgeting for additional service
enhancements.
Eagle Valley
Transportation Authority
EagleValleyRTA.org
Staffing
∙EVTA is a new organization that needs to be staffed up appropriately to deliver services.∙This includes building capacity or contracting for services previously provided to ECO
Transit by other parts of Eagle County.∙EVTA, like many other employers in this region, dealing with challenges with attracting
and retaining employees.
o To deliver on the promises we're making, we need to build the best possible workforce.
o As the EVTA, we are working on an integrated hiring and housing strategy.
o Not something that can be accomplished overnight. Issues being considered on housing
strategy include the level of funding to invest and how to build EVTA’s inventory: purchasing
existing units, partnering to build new units, or, most likely, a combination of the two.
o Housing is likely not a “silver bullet” solution, but remains an important component of our
overall staffing and retention strategy.
Eagle Valley
Transportation Authority
EagleValleyRTA.org
Equipment
•Currently working to upgrade ECO Transit's aging vehicle fleet and
expand to meet future needs.
•ECO has 4 new buses on order and expected to arrive in late 2023 or early 2024.
Grant funding for a 5th bus has recently been allocated.
•New and existing ECO vehicles will be transferred to the EVTA as part of the
transition process
•Continuing to apply for grant opportunities to replace vehicles and expand the
fleet.
•Purchasing grant-funded transit vehicles takes time, often up to three years between the time EVTA
applies for a grant and the time that vehicle is delivered.
•As we work to make the most of available grant opportunities also exploring other ways to increase the
number of reliable vehicles in service with funds that are now available.

Equipment, continued
∙ECO Transit has received a Federal Transit Administration grant
pending to upgrade existing bus barn in Gypsum to zero-emission
geothermal heat.
o EVTA is expected to continue operating vehicles out of this bus barn as
operations transition to the EVTA.
o ECO Transit received a Congressionally Directed Spending award to make
safety improvements to existing Lake Creek Village stop and install en-route
electrical charging infrastructure. Currently working toward finalizing design
and looking ahead to construction in 2024.
o EVTA has targeted the existing Highway 6 route for zero-emission operation as
soon as possible.

ATTACHMENT A: Rent Support Agreement
TO: Honorable Mayor Amy Phillips and Council members FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: Vail Valley Art Guild Seasons Rent Proposal DATE: August 3, 2023
SUMMARY: The Vail Valley Art Guild has approached the Seasons commercial owner to explore the opportunity to rent the vacant space on the west side of Kai restaurant, fronting the Main Street Pedestrian Mall. This report presents an overview of a potential partnership opportunity to support the Vail Valley Art Guild locating its office on the Main Street Pedestrian Mall.
GOALS: The goal of partnering with Vail Valley Art Guild is to support local artists, expand the Town of Avon’s art offerings in the community, and help this non-profit organization expand its capacity to potentially transition to a larger and more prominent art center at the Old Fire Station side. Other mountain town communities with a strong community art center often have a history of a non-profit organization building capacity and financial support which preceded the investment, construction and operation of a community art center. The proposed lease partnership between VVAG, Town of Avon and the Seasons commercial owner would be to take this next step with the goal that in 5-7 years there may be capacity and financial support to proceed with a community art center. The term “community art center” is used loosely as there are only very general ideas at this point. I do believe it is possible, and likely appropriate, that a community art center could support arts offerings while also providing a community meeting space to meet community needs, including senior activities, library events programming,
LEASE TERMS: The Seasons commercial owner, GAC Avon LP, LLC (“Landlord”) has proposed lease terms of 4 years, at $18.00 per square foot, with a commercial area maintenance cost fee of $14,50 per square foot. The Landlord would provide $20,800 to the tenant with $10,400 to be used for tenant finishes and $10,400 to be used at tenants discretion, along with additional contributions to tenant of $8,000 per year. Landlord also agreed to put a door on the north side to allow direct access onto the Main Street Pedestrian Mall.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: VVAG has indicated that can afford to contribute $500 per month. The requested financial commitment by the Town of Avon would be approximately $1,500 per month or $18,000 per year. Total lease costs are expected to increase by 3.5% per year.
CONSIDERATIONS: The following considerations are raised for Council.
1.Is there potential grant funding? Should Town of Avon and VVAG pursuit this grant funding to supplementthe lease costs? As an option, Town of Avon could proceed with lease partnership now and pursue grantfunding for years 2-4.
2.What is the VVAG commitment to activate and program this lease space?
3.What is are the goals, process and schedule for VVAG and Town of Avon to work towards expandingcapacity, raising funding, and conducting conceptual planning for a community art center.
4.Should TOA request one or two seats on the VVAG Board of Directors to facilitate capacity building andcoordination with future art facility planning?
5.Should there be a discussion of re-branding Vail Valley Art Guild to something that recognizes support byTown of Avon and location in Town of Avon?
REQUESTED DIRECTION: I am requesting direction on whether Avon Town Council desires to pursue a partnership with Vail Valley Art Guild to assist with the cost of leasing space in the Seasons building.
Thank you, Eric

ATTACHMENT B: Aug 3, 2023 Report
Vail Valley Art Guild - May 2023
VVAG SPACE AT THE SEASONS
The VVAG is interested in leasing space for five years at The Seasons in Avon for an Art
Center. We envision using the space as a nucleus for developing an Art Core within the town of
Avon. Our leased space would be used for community art workshops, art group meetings, art
exhibition space, and studio space for local painters, ceramic artists, and photographers.
The long term vision would be to see enough interest, growth, and foundation set with this entry
level space, to expand into additional space at the Seasons or beyond. We envision enlisting
the interest of other creative industry organizations to join us in building a creative hub, right
here in Avon.
With Eagle County currently lacking a nonprofit community arts center, the VVAG having an
“Arts Center” at the Seasons could turn both The Seasons Building and the Avon core into a
lively cultural hub for the arts, attracting new visitors including both locals and tourists. Because
of its central location, tradition of inclusivity, past generous history of supporting the arts, and
financial resources, we believe Avon is an ideal location. Creating an “arts & culture center”
would also be a fantastic addition to Avon’s growing state “Arts District” qualifications. This
qualification would open The Town of Avon up to myriad opportunities for grants and recognition
that would benefit our entire community.
Established as a 501c3 in 2014, the Vail Valley Art Guild is the only active member-based
visual arts nonprofit in the Eagle Valley.
● We currently have approximately 150 to 200 artist and photographer members.
● We have a regular history of partnering with Colorado Mountain College on various
projects and art exhibitions.
● Our current gallery is located in the Old Town Hall building in Historic Downtown Eagle,
where we participate in the monthly EagleARTS ARTwalk events, are current members
of the Eagle Chamber of Commerce, and host member events on a regular basis.
● In our recent past we have enjoyed a few different gallery homes around the Valley,
including a cute little gallery in Minturn and originally 2 locations in Avon.
● With these experiences, we have demonstrated that we have a solid and active
membership, we work well with Town administrations, and that we have created efficient
organizational systems to manage the gallery locations.
● Along with monthly exhibitions at our gallery location, we also have ongoing displays of
our art and photography at all of the Eagle County libraries and the Eagle County Jet
Center.
● In the past few years we have been establishing a nice tradition of working with our local
high school art students, sponsoring exhibition events, fundraisers, and speaking with
them about creative career opportunities.
ATTACHMENT AATTACHMENT B: Aug 3, 2023 Report
● We love to collaborate with other local charitable organizations, and host an annual
affordable art fair.
● We host a myriad of other art and photography activities for our members.
● Our new website is worth a visit for more details.www.vvagco.org
One of our favorite programs is our very popular art workshop series…
● Potential workshops for the Seasons space run the gamut from technical painting
seminars from nationally known artist instructors, to teen programs, to therapeutic art
sessions for interested groups within our community.
● We currently have over 5 intermediate and professional level workshops scheduled and
sold out for this summer. These workshops will be held at various locations around the
Valley.
● We would love to have one consistent central location to hold these types of workshops,
alleviating the myriad logistics involved with organizing several different workshop
location spaces.
Our monthly member meetings are pretty popular too…
● Our group meetings include monthly photography group sessions, monthly art member
sessions, along with committee and board meetings.
● We have regular speakers and demos by members and guest artists.
● These meetings foster community connection and open our artists up to new mediums
and technical skills, not to mention building important friendships.
Having this space would open up all sorts of opportunities
● To host more workshops, meetings, events, and exhibitions within the said space and
also potential for expanding out into the public spaces inside and outside the Seasons
building(with consent of course).
● In warm weather, with the consent of Seasons management, we envision outdoor
pop-up exhibits, mini-art fairs, and artwalk events. In cooler weather, again with the
consent of management, we could use indoor hallway space for the exhibition events..
● We envision art exhibitions, benefits, and even artwalk style events that would not only
enhance the Vail Valley Art Guild’s presence, but bring attention and activation to Avon’s
core promenade, where the community and our guests will also enjoy the businesses
and restaurants, sculptures, mural work, and beautiful landscaping adorning the Heart of
the Valley.
ATTACHMENT B: Aug 3, 2023 Report
FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS
The VVAG cannot afford the space without significant subsidization from the Town of Avon.
While we are financially stable with a growing asset base and have been in operation for more
than ten years, with the exception of one part time employee, we are a volunteer organization.
At this time the VVAG Board has budgeted $500. monthly for the lease of the space.
We are hoping that the Seasons can see the upside of our occupancy and work with the Town
of Avon to subsidize the rent as a contribution towards the promotion of community arts.

TO: Honorable Mayor Amy Phillips and Council Members FROM: Eric Heil, Town Manager Miguel Jauregui Casanueva, Town Clerk RE: DDA Board Appointments, revised. DATE: September 25, 2023
SUMMARY: The purpose of the report is to facilitate Council’s appointment of between five (5) and eleven
(11) board members to fill all vacancies of the Avon Downtown Development Authority (“Avon DDA”).
BACKGROUND: The Town Council referred the formation of Avon DDA ballot question to eligible voters at
the June 27, 2023, Council Meeting by approving Ordinance 23-02. A special election on August 29, 2023,
was conducted by the Town Clerk’s office as an independent mail ballot election. Town Hall served as the
voter service center on Election Day. The final election results included 51 votes in favor of the establishment
of the Avon DDA and 13 votes not in favor of the referred question.
• The Town Clerk’s Office posted a notice soliciting letters of interest to serve on the newly formed
Avon DDA and sent out a press release. The deadline for receiving letters of interest and a resume
was extended to Friday, September 22, 2023. 13 applications were received. 12 applicants were
eligible, and one was disqualified based on lack of eligibility. A majority of eligible applicants did not
indicate a specific request for a term-limit, so we propose their terms be assigned by drawing names
out of a hat, with the first names drawn serving the 4-year terms and the last names drawn serving
the 1-year term.
• Rules for the formation of the Board of Directors of the Avon DDA include:
1. Its composition will include at least one (1) Councilor and ten (10) Directors. CO Rev Stat § 31-
25-805(1)
2. To be eligible, Directors must reside, be a business lessee, or own real property in the Avon
DDA. CO Rev Stat § 31-25-806(1), provided that a majority of Directors must own or reside
within the Avon DDA boundaries. CO Rev Stat § 31-25-805(1)
3. The terms of the initial members of the Avon DDA Board of Directors are staggered per statute
such that two Directors shall have terms expiring on June 30, 2024, two Directors shall have
terms expiring on June 30, 2025, two Directors shall have terms expiring June 30, 2026, and the
remaining Directors shall have terms expiring on June 30, 2027. CO Rev Stat § 31-25-805(2)
• Interviews for applicants and appointments to the Avon DDA will be conducted at the September 26
Council Meeting. At that time, Council will interview those interested in serving on the Avon DDA
Board and take formal action to make the appointments of Directors that evening.
• The first Avon DDA meeting is scheduled for Monday October 2, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. The meetings
will likely occur quarterly or on an as needed basis.
• During the first meeting:
1. Board Directors of the Avon DDA Board will be sworn-in CO Rev Stat § 31-25-806(2); and,
2. the Avon DDA Board shall adopt rules governing its procedure. CO Rev Stat § 31-25-806(3).
• All Meetings of the Avon DDA Board will be open to the public except those dealing with land
acquisition or sales, personnel matters, or legal matters.

and (2) What improvements do you think are most important for Avon over the next 5-10 years? All applicants
will remain in the room while the interview process takes place.
APPOINTMENT FORMAT: Council will be provided a work sheet for notes and voting sheet to be completed during interviews. At the end of the interviews, the Town Clerk and Deputy Town Manager will collect the voting sheets and will tabulate the votes by each Council member. Once the results are tabulated, the Town Clerk will announce the 10 applicants who have been appointed to the Avon Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors. The Town Clerk will then provide a hat with the names of the 10 Directors and the Town Manager will draw names from the hat to randomly appoint those Directors to the 4-year, 3-year, 2-year and 1-year terms. After the names are drawn to assign terms to each Director, Council will entertain a motion for the record to appoint the 10 Directors and designate their respective terms of office.
COUNCIL SEAT: A Council vote to appoint a Council Member to the Avon DDA Board, along with their alternate,
2-year appointment through January 2025. A vote among Councilors will be taken.

If I may please submit this LeƩer of Interest with resume for the Avon Downtown Development Authority Board
Vacancy. I respecƞully request to serve the term expiring either 2026 or 2027 so I may place necessary effort and Ɵme
to support the Authority if selected. I am enthusiasƟc by this Authority. An instrumental cause has been looked at in a
textbook perfect manner if I may respecƞully say so. I am surprised how rare “Tax Increment Financing” is today.
I hope the resume will show, I’ve spent the past nine years working in Saudi Arabia, effecƟvely combining financial
transacƟons and profit with public policy. I’ve spent great Ɵme studying economic development fields such as medical,
aviaƟon, solar, traffic studies, educaƟon, and housing, which I agree is the prime issue here. Every economic ‘silo’
thrives with community reinvestment, and this is what I see with this Authority. To get started, I believe I will be able to
support the bond‐offering process. Then, as the Authority develops, I have some thoughts to enhance Ɵmelines etc., but
let me pause here please to learn more of the Authority, perhaps over Ɵme.
If I may please be allowed to help serve the conƟnuous enhancement of Avon, I would certainly like to do so and this
manner seems an excepƟonal opportunity to truly make a difference.
I welcome any chance to discuss and learn more.
With very best regards,

RE: EV Charging Update
DATE: September 20, 2023
SUMMARY: This report provides an overview of Avon’s Chargepoint EV charging system and
contemplates a restructuring of the fee schedule. Offering free EV charging is a great incentive for people
making the switch from combustion engines to electric vehicles. EV adoption is growing and that incentive
may no longer be necessary. Use of our EV charging system is growing exponentially as are our overall
costs. Moving into 2024, it may be time to start charging a fee for our dispensers. Many of our peer
communities have already moved to this model.
BACKGROUND: Avon currently has 18 charging ports throughout town. Sixteen are Level 2 chargers (6
kWh/hr) and the other two are DC Fast Chargers (60kWh/hr). The level 2 chargers are currently free while
we charge $0.25/kWh to use the DC Fast Chargers. Energy cost are $0.07/kWh off-peak and $0.25/kWh
during peak periods (4:00pm-9:00pm).
As demand increases, the costs that the Town of Avon bears also increases. September 2022-August
2023 usage is 2.5X greater than the same period from 2021-2022. I expect demand to increase at that rate
moving forward.
2023 EXPENSE ESTIMATES: Costs of our ChargePoint network can be broken down into fixed costs and
actual cost of electricity. Fixed costs are Cloud Services fees and Warranty Fees. For our current system,
total yearly fixed costs are $18,068.00 per year.
The 2023 estimated variable costs of electricity is based on actual usage of the DC chargers and charging
trends. The cost of electricity during off-peak hours is $.07/ kWh, while the cost during peak hours (4pm-
9pm) is $.25/kWh. In the last 12 months, 31% of all charging was done during those peak hours. At this
level the average cost of a kWh across the system is $0.126. Using those numbers and the current
charging trend of approximately 2.5 X more use than 12 months ago, the total cost to Avon for 2023 is
$33,250.72.
2023 REVENUES: Revenues through August total $5336.04 and should total approximately $9000.00 for
the year. Avon’s deficit for the year will be approximately $33,250.72-$9,000.00= $ 24,250.76 This does
not include the upfront cost of equipment.
970-748-4114 jshoun@avon.org
Page 2 of 6
2024 ESTIMATES: As demand increases the overall cost per kWh will go down. Raising peak costs
would also lower costs by driving consumers to use the chargers during off-peak times. The 2024 estimates
below assume total demand to double and a reduction in peak usage from 31% to 10%. Charging $0.10
over the cost of energy ($0.17 off-peak and $0.35 peak) and would be one example of a break-even
scenario for 2024.
The price points are very competitive compared to gas automobiles. The Town’s Volkswagen ID.4s get 3.1
miles per kWh. At $0.17/ kWh, that is the equivalent of a similar gas vehicle getting 73 mpg and at
$0.35/kWh, the equivalent of 35 mpg, cost wise.
PEER COMMUNITY FEES: Most of our nearby peer communities charge for EV charging. The proposed
fee schedule would put Avon in the middle of the range of those peers.
970-748-4114 jshoun@avon.org
Page 3 of 6
OPTIONS: Staff have prepared three options for Council consideration:
OPTION A: Raise fees to $0.17/kWh off-peak and $0.35/kWh peak.
OPTION B: Keep fees as is. L2 chargers free and DC chargers at $0.25/kWh.
OPTION C: Request more information and continue discussion.
REQUESTED DIRECTION: Staff requests direction from the Town Council regarding EV charging pricing
policies.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends increasing EV charging pricing outlined in Option A. We also
recommend charging an overstay fee of $0,25/ minute after a 30 minute grace period to encourage
turnover. I propose that staff monitor ongoing usage trends and provide a follow-up report to Town Council
in the Spring.
Thank you, Jim

RE: Ordinance 23-05 Amending Title 10 Of the Avon Municipal Code to Adopt Paid
Parking Regulations
DATE: September 21, 2023
SUMMARY: This report presents Ordinance 23-05 to Council for first reading. Ordinance 23-05 would
adopt Paid Parking Regulations as a component of implementing parking management in Avon. Avon
Town Council (“Council”) previously directed Staff to proceed with a paid parking program. Avon Police
Department hired two code enforcement officers, purchased a hybrid vehicle, ordered a license plate
reader (LPR), and engaged T2 Systems to provide paid parking technology, including “pay to park”
services and payment options.
The Town Attorney provided guidance that an amendment to the Avon Municipal Code to expressly
authorize paid parking regulations would be preferrable to relying on Avon’s existing parking regulations.
Ordinance 23-05 is presented for 1st reading on September 26, 2023 and 2nd reading on October 10, 2023.
The effective date of Ordinance 23-05 would be November 9th if adopted on final reading on October 10,
2023.
BACKGROUND: Council has pondered and debated the parking issues in the Avon Commercial Core
(ACC) over many years. There is a consensus that we must find a balance between accommodating Avon
residents, Avon businesses, Eagle County Residents, and our guests, with a balanced approach for free
parking for our local employees. It is a fine balance, but the current parking management plan is a
compromise, and we can evaluate and change if needed after this coming winter season.
The proposal as discussed is to provide free three-hour parking in on-street Town owned parking bays on
East Benchmark, West Benchmark, Riverfront Lane, Lake Street, West Beaver Creek Boulevard and
Mikaela Way. Residents and guests will be required to pay a per hour rate for any hour after the initial
three free hours. The initial proposed fee is $1 per hour. The parking will be regulated between 8am and
5pm seven days a week, 365 days a year. There will continue to be no overnight parking unless it has
been approved by the police department.
There are five parking lot areas that are impacted, which are described as follows:
Old Town Hall Municipal lot: This lot will remain free parking all day (aimed at local employees
and Harry A. Nottingham Park guests)
Avon Recreation Center parking lots: Three-hour free parking for patrons only. If the vehicle has
not been validated or exceeds three hours, it will be subject to a parking ticket. Exceptions will be
recreation center staff and library staff.
North Parking Lot (Lot 16): 10 minutes drop off and three-hour parking. No paid parking beyond
these limits.
Avon Elementary School: School staff, parents, and school business parking while school is in
session. Summer parking will be free three-hour parking and paid parking beyond three hours.
Page 2 of 2
Town Hall Parking lot: Town employees or people conducting town business in Town hall. Electric
vehicles charging within the charging limits. Those people conducting business will be provided
with validation. Pick up and drop off for the kindergarten allowed. Any other parking will be subject
to violation.
The Avon Police Department evaluated three reputable parking management companies and chose T2
Systems. T2 Systems provide parking management solutions to the City of Aspen and Telluride. We will
mount a license plate reader system on a retired police vehicle (while we await the arrival of a Hybrid truck
which will be ordered for 2024). Our two code enforcement officers will enforce the parking management
plan between 0800 and 1700, seven days a week (except for vacation or sick days).
The proposed amendments to our current parking regulations:
Allow code enforcement officers to issue parking tickets
Allow Town of Avon to establish paid parking and enforcement in designated areas
ORDINANCE 23-05: Ord. 23-05 deletes references to the “town core” and adopts a new section 10.10.050
that would expressly establish “Paid Parking Regulations”. The proposed fine would remain the same
amount of $35. The reduced parking fine of $15 for parking violations outside the “town core” are
eliminated, the reference to “town core” in the parking regulations is deleted, and the universe parking fine
amount throughout Town, including on private property if Avon is asked to enforce, is $35.
The term “town core” is used in the Avon development code for design review and short term rental
regulation purposes and is not applicable to parking fines so this reference creates confusion. Parking
fines which are not paid within 45 days increases by $50 from $35 to $85. A default judgement is entered
is entered and Avon may refer to a collection agency.
The Ordinance allows for the Town Manager to administratively set parking hours and parking fee amounts.
The intent is that proposed hours and fees would be presented to Council for approval and direction but
that the adoption of an ordinance or resolution is not required.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Council approved the hiring of two code enforcement officers, purchase
of the License plate reader technology and the software in the recent budget supplement. The 2024 Avon
Police Department proposed budget includes the purchase of a Code Enforcement Hybrid F-150 truck for
code enforcement operations. We will use a retired Patrol vehicle in the interim.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of Ordinance 23-05 adopting paid parking regulations.
MANAGER’S COMMENTS: I recommend that the initial implementation of the paid parking program
include a modest hourly payment of $1 per hour after the first three (free) hours and that parking is free
after 5pm. The initial implementation of parking management is the most complicated and most disruptive
for communities that have enjoyed free parking. Once the program is in place and we can evaluate parking
habits, then it is very easy to change the hourly parking fee.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve the first reading of Ordinance 23-05 Amending Title 10 of the
Avon Municipal Code to Adopt Paid Parking Regulations.”
Thank you, Chief Greg Daly

Draft Long-Range CIP. Deliberations from Council covered the topics of the Nottingham Park Rec
Improvements Grant applications for the Skate Coalition, and potential for an additional DOLA
Grant for the Skate Park. Here, Councilor Hardy expressed she still objects to the placement of the
skate park at the old Town Hall location, and said it is manipulation to use the DOLA grant to tie it
to that location. Mayor Pro Tem Underwood noted she does not see manipulation since adding a
skate park is a social element required essential to the application of that DOLA Grant. Town
Manager Eric Heil reminded Council the budget includes the ability to build prefabricated
bathrooms and more park space at the old Town Hall location, while the skate coalition grant can
be used elsewhere and securing the award of the DOLA grant is not guaranteed.
Comments from Councilors on discretionary projects included those from Councilor Carroll who
noted this is an ambitious workload. He asked staff to add the presentation to the Town’s website
and to email it to Councilors. There were deliberations of what is covered here versus the budget

conversation around Avon’s sponsorship of the Mountain Towns 2030 Conference. Mayor Pro Tem
Underwood noted nothing was a surprise and it works well to make these budget amendments that

Community Development Senior Planner Jena Skinner delivered a presentation related to a
proposal for revised Housing Guidelines. Questions from Council included discussion on the forms
to be approved by Council as part of the guidelines. Councilor Carroll noted that under the
definitions section, it is unclear if income refers to gross income. He further inquired on the
objective behind allowing trusts to hold this type of housing and was advised it is to mitigate capital
gains and be more efficient in estate planning situations, adding that eligibility requirements and
deed restrictions do not change even if property is put in a trust. Mayoral comments included that
all topics covered under Chapter 4, Section D will be addressed in a separate work session.
Deliberations among Councilors also included the topic of requiring inspectors to be licensed.
Additionally, the pros and cons for Council to review appeals, which they elected not to based on
the administrative nature of this process.
During public comment, Maria de Simone, resident of Wildwood Townhomes North, a Deed
Restricted property, took the podium. She was joined by her neighbor Genie Le Sasso. They stated
that valuations of Wildwood Townhomes are low, and the price cap makes ordinary maintenance
and repairs for the property almost impossible to keep up with.
Senior Planner Skinner noted she is aware of this type of ongoing issue with existing deed restricted
programs where there are challenges of maintenance and upkeep versus property values. Town
Manager Eric Heil proposed for the Town to work on a voluntary deed replacement for old deed
restrictions, where they need to be willing to apply for the replacement deed restriction. He stated
this is a next step which can be included in future conversations and added the form of deed
restriction needs to get approved first, before the Town can revisit existing deed restrictions that
need updating.

Ms. Robyn Syphers, resident of Wildwood Townhomes North, took the podium and said she cannot
move because value of her home is so low. She asked for something to change in her home’s
valuation to stay comparable to other newer deed restricted properties.
Mayor Pro Tem Underwood asked for a self-imposed deadline to review Chapter 4, Section D, and
asked staff to bring a form proposal back to the October 24 Council Meeting. She noted this is a
complex policy decision and they need to weigh different options.
Mr. Dick Hanney, resident of Wildwood Townhomes North, asked who he can give his suggestions
to on how to address the deed restrictions at his HOA, and was directed to Senior Planner Skinner
to communicate his suggestions.
Councilor Carroll noted there are 21 owners at Wildwood Townhomes and asked Town staff to
work together with them to receive their valuable input.
No other public comment was made in person nor on Zoom.
After deliberations, Councilor Carroll made a motion to approve Resolution 23-19, with the
exclusion of Chapter 4, Section D, Page 14 of the Housing Guidelines which will get further reviewed

Recreation Direction Michael Labagh provided the Committee an update on the busy summer and admissions numbers.
July was an extremely busy month with visitors in town and lots of special events. The Avon Recreation Center will be
closing for a maintenance shutdown the first week of October. This has been communicated to members via email and
memberships have already been prorated. Upcoming events include the Pumpkin Fun Run on October 21, School’s
Out Camps and Kid’s Swim Night Out the second Friday of every month starting November 10. This is an opportunity
for parents to have a date night and have the kids swim, complete crafts, watch a movie and socialize. Drop-in Sports
begin October 16. Recreation Director Michael Labagh shared the schedules for upcoming Pickleball, Volleyball, Futsal
and Basketball.
Next he provided a general update for Aquatics. Now that summer is over our swim teams are absorbing Eagle-
Vail swimmers into our Recreational team. Swim Lessons are well attended on Tuesday/Thursday evenings and
Saturday mornings. First Aid/CPR/AED classes on September 26, October 24 and November 5. A Lifeguard class
coming up November 10-12 and a Babysitter’s Training is scheduled for October 9, hoping to fill all 10 spots. In
general, Recreation staff are staying busy and there is not really an “off-season” anymore.

5.2 La Zona Planning Project Update
Recreation Director Michael Labagh provided an update about La Zona options 1, 2 and 4. The initial estimated cost
was $15.3 million dollars, but with amended conceptual designs brought the cost down to $11.1 million dollars. The
new spa would go where the patio is currently, the new weight room is a little smaller and building on top of the new
weight room would be a functional fitness area, a small office, an ADA compliant single stall restroom, and storage
closet. The spin bikes would move upstairs, and the Spin room would become office space and meeting area for
administrative staff. The multi-use child area will look different requiring a small restroom, and furniture that can be
moved out of the way so the room can be used for programs and meetings during the day.
The Town is working on prioritizing the Capital Improvement Plans this evening, Tuesday September 12, 2023, at
the Town Council meeting. Another project for Aquatics is to replace the concrete pool deck, which ideally would be
paired up with the addition of the new spa.
The Committee had no questions or comments.

Recreation Director Michael Labagh provided an update on the Eaglebend Pocket Park, the small park at the end of

and that updates can be found on the website under current Town initiatives.

TO: Honorable Mayor Amy Phillips and Council Members FROM: Paul Redmond, Finance Director RE: Administrator for Avon Urban Renewable Authority Fund DATE: September 20, 2023
SUMMARY: Allowing former Finance Director Scott Wright to continue to serve as the COLOTRUST Designee tor the Avon Urban Renewal Authority. This memorandum is for information only and there is no action required by the Town Council.
BACKGROUND: As you may know, Scott has served as a trustee on the Board of the COLOTRUST local government investment pools since 2000, and he has served as Chairman of the Board for the past 5 years. COLOTRUST is a local government investment pools (LGIP) with over 1600 Colorado local government participants and over $15 billion in deposits. It is the largest LGIP in Colorado and one of the largest in the Country.
In his capacity as President of the Board and as trustee, Scott has represented the Town of Avon. However, because the Urban Renewal Authority is a separate legal entity, both the Town of Avon and the Avon Urban Renewal Authority have COLOTRUST accounts and Scott has been the COLOTRSUT designee for both accounts. Serving as the Town’s designee gives Scott the authority to vote in COLOTRUST elections for its board members, and to serve on the Board.
Effective with Scott’s retirement, he has transferred the Town designee authority to me as the new Finance Director. The Town Manager has approved Scott to remain on as the designee for the URA so that he may remain on the COLOTRUST Board. Scott will not have any signatory authority over the funds held in the URA account.
In addition, the COLOTRUST Board has approved Scott to change entity types and Dee Wisor, the attorney for COLOTRUST, has provided a letter to the COLOTRUST Board stating that this is allowable under the COLOTRUST bylaws.
Thank you, Paul
