WORK SESSION: JOINT MEETING WITH BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS (Town Manager Eric Heil) • Water Conservation • Regional Housing Authority Video Start Time: 00:05:20 Mayor Underwood introduced the Work Session and requested that everyone on the round table introduce themselves. Town Manager Eric Heil steered the Joint Meeting with the Board of County Commissioners and delivered a presentation to those present. The topics discussed were: a) Eagle County Cohort E-bikes Countywide Update Deputy County Manager Regina O'Brien alongside representatives from various agencies and municipalities have convened to collaborate on community education regarding e-bikes. The group’s primary focus is based on feedback from a recent countywide survey, rather than current regulations. An educational campaign is being developed to provide clear safety guidelines and trail-use protocols for e-bike riders, addressing the complexity and confusion often associated with e-biking. The goal is to create a single, consistent source of information that can be shared across the County. Participating organizations include Vail Health, local schools, Mountain Youth, municipalities, and county representatives. While future discussions may explore unified enforcement regulations at the county or even state level, the current emphasis is on education. Messaging will target both traditional bicyclists and e-bike users. b) Regional Housing Authority Avon Town Manager Eric Heil opened the discussion with a slide presentation covering: (i) the rationale for pursuing a regional housing authority, (ii) financial analysis and revenue projections from potential new funding streams, (iii) a breakdown of revenue collection across countywide jurisdictions, and (iv) a proposed structure, functions, and services a regional housing authority could provide to county residents. The group discussed the geographic boundaries of the authority, potential tax increase options, an inventory of upcoming development projects, the importance of stakeholder engagement, and the need for caution when determining timelines for ballot questions. It was agreed that staff from both jurisdictions will meet to develop proposed

3
structures and revenue models, which will be reviewed at a joint meeting scheduled for January 2026 at the County Offices. c) Water Conservation Planning Manager Jena Skinner provided an update on landscaping code amendments under consideration by Avon Town Council. The agenda report for the evening meeting highlights a Code Text Amendment (CTA) application to modify and update specific provisions of the Avon Municipal Code to comply with Colorado State Bill SB24-005. Avon Planning Manager Skinner noted that the current Code does not address the use of artificial turf; the proposed amendment would ensure full compliance with the bill upon adoption. Additional minor changes include updates to Section 7.28.050 on wildfire mitigation and new definitions in Section 7.08.10 (General Definitions) related to turf, as recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC). Eagle County Staff also shared that its update to an older Land Use Code is expected to be adopted in spring 2026, incorporating language on landscaping sustainability. Mayor Underwood opened the floor to public comment, and no public comment was received in person or virtually. As this was a work session, no motion was made. Staff received unanimous support to continue their work as directed. At 6:33 p.m., a recess of 10 minutes was declared a to allow Councilors to regain their seats at the dais. At 6:43 p.m. the Council Meeting resumed. 6.2. PUBLIC HEARING: Draft 2026 Budget (Chief Financial Officer Paul Redmond) Video Start Time: 01:32:10 Chief Financial Officer Paul Redmond presented the Draft 2026 Budget, noting that revenues, staffing levels, and compensation are expected to remain relatively flat compared to 2025. Councilors raised several questions regarding the Energy Conference, Court revenue, Code Enforcement program cost, and employee carpool travel reimbursements. Representatives from the Eagle County Conservation District (Ryan Vlaar and board member Lynn Brooks) provided details on the “Beyond Lawn Program,” a rebate initiative for participants. Council requested refinements to the program’s eligibility criteria and approved the inclusion of ECCD’s $25,000 funding request in the budget. The final public hearing is scheduled for December 9, when Council will adopt the 2026 budget and mill levy. Mayor Underwood opened the floor of the Public Hearing to public comment, and no other public comment was received in person or online. 6.3. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDINANCE 25-19 Second Reading: Landscaping Code Update to comply with SB24-005 (Planning Manager Jena Skinner) Video Start Time: 02:04:05 Planning Manager Jena Skinner presented the Second Reading of Ordinance 25-19: Landscaping Code Update to comply with SB24-005. Council previously adopted the first reading of Ordinance 25-19 on November 11, 2025. While Section 7.28.050 (Landscaping) is largely compliant, the Code does not currently address artificial turf. The proposed amendment ensures full compliance upon adoption. Additional minor changes include updates to Section 7.28.050 on wildfire mitigation and new definitions in Section 7.08.10 (General Definitions) related to turf, as recommended by the

Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC). Mayor Underwood opened the floor of the Public Hearing to public comment, and no public comment was received in person or virtually. Mayor Underwood asked for a period to be added after “5+ feet from a residence” at the bottom of page 165 of the packet. She added she likes the inclusion of why this updating is happening. She asked Town Manager Heil to expand on what the Town is doing to remove Kentucky Blue Grass in any area of Town property that still has nonfunctional turf, clarifying that Nottingham park is functional turf. Councilor Hardy added she would like to see the turf on Roundabout 3 soon removed to add wildflowers and hollyhocks around the horse sculptures and she is willing to volunteer to help so that it is soon improved. Councilor Brooks mentioned Community resources that may help with the concept of demonstration gardens at Nottingham Park and in other areas. Councilor Hyatt motioned to approve Ordinance 25-19, as presented on second reading with the correction indicated by Mayor Underwood. Councilor Brooks seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously with a 5-0 vote of those present. 6. WRITTEN REPORTS
7.1. November 10th PZC Meeting Minutes (Development Coordinator Emily Block) 7.2. Monthly Financials (Senior Accountant Dean Stockdale) 8. MAYOR AND COUNCIL COMMENTS & MEETING UPDATES Video Start Time: 02:20:20 Councilor Hyatt spoke about the Black Friday Sale for Recreation Center passes during Thanksgiving weekend along with the Avon Turkey Trot coming up, adding costumes are promoted as well as the use of public transport to participate. Mayor Pro Tem Caroll indicated CORE transit passed the 2026 budget and the mission allowed them to buy electric buses which will need upgrades to be able to travel on the highway. Also, there is a leveling out in ridership. Councilor Hardy indicated that the Development Code says that when a tree is removed, it shall be replaced with two more trees elsewhere. However, consistent compliance is needed and a lot of HOAs and properties and the Town of Avon are not complying with this element which makes her concerned. She added the cumulative impact is real and it would be prudent to enforce this Code because she is concerned and frustrated with lack of proactive enforcement. Mayor Underwood asked staff where to file Code Enforcement Complaints, and the public was invited to file tree felling and other Code Enforcement complaints at avon.org/codeenforcement 9. ADJOURN There being no further business before Council, Mayor Underwood moved to adjourn the regular meeting. The time was 7:41 p.m.

TO: Honorable Mayor Underwood and Council members FROM: Patti Liermann, Housing Planner RE: Avon Community Housing Plan Update DATE: November 6, 2025
SUMMARY: This report requests action by Avon Town Council (“Council”) to authorize preparing an update to the Avon Community Housing Plan. The Avon Community Housing Plan (“Housing Plan”) was adopted in 2018, and updated most recently in 2021. The document is an extension of the Avon Comprehensive Plan and is intended to provide more strategic direction for Avon’s housing initiatives. Council intended to update the Housing Plan periodically to keep the document current with market conditions. This update will incorporate data from the Regional Housing Needs Assessment and propose strategies to guide Community Housing in Avon over the next few years. Council may initial amendments to the Avon Comprehensive Plan, including the Housing Plan, pursuant to the Avon Development Code, §7.16.030. Community Development Department Goals for 2026 include updating the Avon Community Housing Plan. The Comprehensive Plan Amendment process requires review by the Planning and Zoning Commission after conducting a public hearing before providing a recommendation to Council. BACKGROUND: Council determined workforce housing is a top priority. The Housing Plan was created as a separate document from the Avon Comprehensive Plan. The Housing Plan identifies demand factors related to housing, sets goals and objectives to address those demand factors, and establishes tools and strategies to accomplish those goals and objectives. Updated data provided in the recent Regional Housing Needs Assessment, including Area Median Income, for sale and rental housing costs, and unfilled jobs numbers, will be used to revise the demand factors. Council will review the existing two (2) goals and objectives and determine whether to revise or change them. Existing tools and strategies will be reviewed to determine if they remain relevant, recommendations for new tools and strategies will be provided by Staff. RECOMMENDATION: I recommend Council authorize Staff to proceed with updates to the Housing Plan. RECOMMENDED MOTION: “I move to authorize the processing of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment application to update the Avon Community Housing Plan.”
Thank you, Patti

TO: Honorable Mayor Tamra N. Underwood and Council members FROM: Paul Redmond, Finance Director Eric Heil, Town Manager RE: 2025 Final Revised Budget and 2026 Proposed Budget DATE: December 3, 2025
SUMMARY: This report is presented to Council for review and adoption of the final revised 2025 Operating, and Capital Project budgets, adoption of the proposed 2026 operating funds and capital projects fund budgets and long-range capital improvements program and property tax levies for the Avon General Improvement District No.1.and for Town of Avon general operation purposes.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS: Avon’s finances are healthy, and the budget supports the basic year-to-year municipal operations. Budget challenges for 2026 are primarily a flattening of sales tax and accommodations tax revenues and the response is to present equally flat expenses with municipal services. Expenses increase year to year even without any additions to Staff, programs or projects because (1) there are many reoccurring supply and equipment costs which increase by inflation, (2) personnel costs increase to remain competitive to support recruitment and retention to avoid the high cost of employee turn-over, and (3) health care costs continue to increase. Staff have been very conservative with expenses across Departments to maintain current staffing levels and current levels of service.
Fund balances remain very strong, which is a result of conservative budgeting practices in past years. The CIP Fund includes many projects that serve as an investment in our community. We continue to prioritize and adjust capital improvements projects to balance our financial resources with realistic schedules and reasonable workloads.
We want to thank all the Department Directors and Division Managers for their work in preparing the budget.
BACKGROUND: As required by Town Charter, Public Hearings have previously been held regarding the proposed 2026 budget on November 11 and November 18, 2025. On December 9, 2025 a final public hearing will be held for members of the public to comment on the proposed 2026 budget as well as the final supplemental amendment to the 2025 budget. Local government budgets must be adopted by December 15 and filed with the Division of Local Governments no later than January 31.
BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS:
2025 Final Revised Budgets
Resolutions No. 25-15 and 25-16 present the Town’s final revised operating budgets and capital project fund budget for 2025 and are submitted for adoption by the Avon Town Council. Below is a summary of the proposed budget revisions and the estimated impacts to fund balance.
General Fund Expense: A total increase of $52,000 is proposed to the General Fund to implement pending programs, respond to changed circumstances, and include expenditures not identified and included during the 2025 Budget process last fall. The following are proposed revisions to expenditure appropriations in the General Fund.
(970) 748-4088 predmond@avon.org
1. Retirement Advisory Services: Increase of $44,000 for retirement advisory services. This expense has been paid by retirement forfeitures in the past. This was not budgeted in the original 2025 budget. We will continue to use the retirement forfeitures to pay for the retirement advisory services as they become available.
2. Telephone and Internet: Add $8,000 for increased telephone and internet costs.
Capital Projects Fund: Increase of $171,102 for additional scope on projects:
1. Main Street Mall: $127,314 increase includes subsurface utility engineering, drainage design for parking lots, structural design for retaining walls, lighting and electrical work for parking lots and landscaping.
2. Powerline Undergrounding: $137,345 Holy Cross contribution not accounted for in original budget. Contractor’s scope was reduced by $96,000 for a net increase of $35,028.
3. Council Chambers Microphones: Add $8,756 for new microphones. 2026 Proposed Budgets
Resolutions No. 25-17 and 25-18 present the Town’s proposed Operating Budgets and Capital Project Fund budgets and long-range capital improvements program for 2026 and are submitted for consideration and adoption by the Avon Town Council. The Town Manager and staff presented the proposed budgets at a Council budget retreat held on October 21 and subsequent public hearings on November 11 and November 18. Final revisions to the 2026 proposed budgets are based on discussion and feedback after these hearings are identified as follows:
General Fund
• Increase in Community Partnership Financial Contributions and Donations by $25,000 to include the Eagle County Conservations Districts Beyond Lawn Program.
Discussion during the November 18th Council meeting a couple of follow up questions were required from Staff. The Town’s carpool reimbursements are an employee benefit. The program reduces thousands of vehicle miles annually by five to six consistent groups. This is a significant part of our overall greenhouse gas reduction and climate action strategy. The program supports long-distance commuters and has become essential for employees traveling from Buena Vista, Leadville and other locations in Eagle County such as Gypsum and Eagle. It significantly helps staff cut fuel and vehicle maintenance expenses. The program also encourages collaboration and connection among employees.
Council requested additional information on Code Enforcement. Code Enforcement is an integral part of the Avon Police Department. Their duties include, but are not limited to parking enforcement, motor vehicle collisions, traffic control, patrolling Nottingham Park, animal control and school and community safety. Additional duties provided by the Towns Code Enforcement may be found in Attachment J.
(970) 748-4088 predmond@avon.org
Community Enhancement Fund
• Decrease by $20,000 for the Building Electrification Conference, also known as the Net Zero Building Expo. The Town will not be hosting this event in 2026.
2025 Property Tax Mill Levies
Resolutions No. 25-21 and 25-25 levying property taxes for the Avon General Improvement District No. 1 and for Town of Avon general operating purposes are submitted for adoption. The property tax mill rates will be levied as follows:
• General operating purposes - 8.956 mills, no change from the previous year
• Avon General Improvement District No. 1 - 15.640 mills, no change from the previous year
According to State Statute, because the Town levies a property tax, the budget must be adopted by December 15 and filed with the Division of Local Governments no later than January 31. This budget meets this and all other legal requirements for submission.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend the Town Council adopt the resolutions discussed above as presented. PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolutions 25-15 through 25-18 and Resolutions 25-21 and 25-25 as listed on the Town Council meeting agenda for December 9, 2025, adopting the final revised 2025 operating funds and capital projects fund budgets, adopting the proposed 2026 operating funds and capital

This report describes the scope of services, scope of refurbishment, preliminary schedule and next
approval by Council once a guaranteed maximum price for the refurbishment is determined.
BACKGROUND:
Avon Recreation Center. In 1993, the Town received voter approval to issue general obligation bonds or
sales tax revenue bonds in the amount of $3,900,000 to construct a new recreation facility with a swimming
pool. The Avon Recreation Center (“Rec Ctr”) was built in 1995 and was constructed for a cost of $6
million. This capital project was funded using the 2% real estate transfer tax.
La Zona. In 2023, the Town coordinated the La Zona Design Concepts initiative with the goals to
determine: (1) The appropriate redevelopment and re-use of the 351 Benchmark property, (2) The
appropriate plans for future expansion of the Avon Recreation Center, and (3) The appropriate conceptual
designs for extending the Main Street Mall from Lettuce Shed Lane to Harry A. Nottingham Park. These
three goals were grouped because each goal influences and impacts the other concerning site planning,
parking, and pedestrian connections. A secondary goal for the project was to promote a cohesive design
that visually connects Avon’s past public investments from the Westin Gondola Plaza to West Nottingham
Park.
Comprehensive public outreach was incorporated throughout the La Zona Design Concepts. Staff
referenced all feedback received to prioritize Recreation Center facility improvements. Top priorities
included: expanded weight room, expanded cardio/circuit training, additional multi-use studio space,
optimized office space, enhanced lobby passive use space, new hot tub and aquatics area infrastructure
updates. Within the last two years, the Town has been able to prioritize improvements and complete
projects in-house for the lobby, staff break room and additional office space.
Hot Tub. In May 2021 staff closed the hot tub for several months, due to the identification of daily
significant water loss in the pool. Staff worked with the Facilities division and multiple pool contractors to
determine the location of the leak. Staff were able to reopen the pool in November 2021 by rerouting the
main water circulation through the intact, hot tub jets plumbing line. The hot tub has been operational,
without additional circulating jets since November 2021. Staff determined that interim repair of the affected
plumbing lines was not feasible since it would require significant excavation of the pool deck.
Slide. Like the Recreation Center, the waterslide is 30 years old and has served the community well. The
waterslide has been refurbished several times over its lifespan and is now at a point where it is no longer
serviceable, due to its condition. Aquatics industry operating and safety standards have also changed over
the last 30 years, and our waterslide is no longer in compliance. In addition to meeting industry standards
Page 2 of 3
and compliance, a new water slide will provide an enhanced user experience and improve safety and
management of the Aquatics area.
PROJECT SCOPING:
The Health and Recreation Committee (“HRC”) met regularly during the course of the La Zona Design
Concepts initiative in 2023. Three design output options (1,2 and 4) were identified of interest to Rec Ctr
improvements.
In October 2023, the Town published a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), seeking professional services to
address Rec Ctr aquatics issues identified by the La Zona Design Concepts initiative (specifically Option 4)
and public priorities as gathered by Staff throughout that process.
RFQs were received and evaluated by Town Engineering Staff. AD Miller, a Centennial based, mid-sized
commercial general contractor with extensive design-build experience with spas and aquatics throughout
the Rocky Mountains was identified as the preferred applicant.
In May 2024, a Professional Services Agreement (“PSA-1”) was drawn up and executed with AD Miller to
review existing documentation, visit existing facilities, assess high-level compliance and provide preliminary
budget pricing for a Base Scope and several options. Progress was regularly reported to Council during
Capital Improvement Project reports by Engineering Staff in 2024.
In June 2025, a second PSA (“PSA-2”), essentially an extension to PSA-1 was executed with AD Miller,
focused on some closer details of scope options identified and to update a preliminary budget for design
and construction costs and commence schematic design for the Aquatics Renovation proposed.
DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT:
The scope identified through PSA-1 and PSA-2 can be summarized as:
Design and Construction of improvements to existing aquatics facility at Avon Recreation Center, to include
but not limited to:
1. Pool deck, coping, and drainage replacement
2. Removal and replacement of existing water slide and stairs, reusing existing structural support where
possible
3. Modification of leisure pools and various fixtures
4. Construction of new extension and outdoor patio to aquatics facility in the south-west corner of the
building
5. Removal of existing hot tub. Build new hot tub within new extension to facility
6. All associated civil, structural, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, electrical and lighting improvements, as
required.
Because the exact condition of some of these existing components is not known, a Design-Build contract
was recommended which allows a greater degree of flexibility with what components get designed and
subsequently built.
AD Miller, the Design-Builder selected, chooses a specialist team of consultants to help with the design of
particular elements of the scope. Elements that do not need replaced can be saved, representing a cost-
saving to the Town.
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) standard form of agreement for a progressive Design-Build
Project (AIA141_PDB-2024) was selected as a base document and is currently being reviewed by Town
legal and Engineering.
Based on preliminary budget work conducted during PSA-1 and 2, a preliminary budget of $ 7,600,000 has
been selected to include design and construction costs.
The format of the Contract allows the Town to work closely with the Design-Builder throughout the process,
developing the design, assessing risk and revaluating construction cost estimates. The design phase
formally ends when the Design-Builder presents a proposal for construction which will include a
Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP). During the Construction Phase, Town recompenses the Design-
Builder the Contract Sum, which includes the actual Cost of the Work plus the Design-Builder’s fee – but
cannot exceed the GMP.
It is important to note that the Town is not committed to accept the GMP at any stage of the agreement.
A draft preliminary schedule is attached.
AD Miller has completed schematic design and will move on to investigative work and start detailed design
before the end of 2025.
Their GMP proposal is scheduled for the end of March 2026, with construction starting before the end of
April to coincide with the end of the Ski Season in the valley.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The Capital Improvements Fund includes the estimated amount of the costs for
refurbishment in 2026, including up to $2.4M to be transferred from the Unrestricted General Fund Reserve
to support funding this project.
TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS/RECOMMENDATION:
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approving the Design-Build Contract with A.D. Miller for the
refurbishment of the Avon Recreation Center Aquatics Center.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve the Design-Build Contract with A.D. Miller for the refurbishment
of the Avon Recreation Center aquatics subject to final review and revisions by the Town Attorney, Town
Manager and Mayor.”
Thank you, Keith

TO: Honorable Mayor Underwood and Council members FROM: Miguel Jauregui Casanueva, Town Clerk RE: ORD 25-18: Enacting Chapter 5.14 – Private Parking Lots DATE: October 29, 2025
SUMMARY: This report presents Ordinance 25-18 (“Attachment A”) for Council consideration on first reading. Ordinance 25-18 enacts Chapter 5.14 of the Avon Municipal Code, establishing a regulatory and licensing framework for private parking lots in Avon. The Ordinance aims to promote public health, safety, and welfare by setting clear requirements for signage, operations, licensing, and enforcement for private parking lot operators.
BACKGROUND: The Town of Avon, as a home rule municipality, has the authority under Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution and C.R.S. §31-15-103 and §31-15-104 to regulate businesses and enact ordinances for the safety and welfare of its residents. Recent community feedback and analysis by Town Staff highlighted concerns regarding private parking lot operations, including lack of signage clarity, fee transparency, and consumer protections. Legal review by the Avon Town Attorney confirms that while Avon has broad police powers to regulate businesses and land use, the regulation of private parking lots is a matter of mixed local and statewide concern. The ordinance is designed to be reasonable, proportional, and defensible, avoiding excessive regulation or fee capping, which could be legally challenged.
PROPOSED CHANGES: Ordinance 25-18 enacts Chapter 5.14 of the Avon Municipal Code, which includes:
•Definitions and Applicability: Establishes what constitutes a private parking lot and outlinesexemptions (e.g., repair garages, residential lots, special event lots, government-owned lots).
•Signage Requirements: Mandates clear, illuminated signage at each entrance, displaying operatorinformation, hours, rates (including maximum rates), payment instructions, and Town contactinformation for complaints.
•Operational Standards: Prohibits charging more than posted rates, improper parking practices,unauthorized vehicle use, and towing/immobilization without owner consent.
•Liability: Operators remain liable for negligence during posted business hours.
•Licensing: Requires all private parking lot operators to obtain a license from the Town Clerk, withannual renewal, non-transferability, and local representation requirements.
•Enforcement: Details grounds for license suspension or revocation, appeal procedures, andpenalties for non-compliance.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council approve the first reading of Ordinance 25-18, enacting Chapter 5.14 of the Avon Municipal Code to regulate and license private parking lots, thereby enhancing consumer protections and ensuring fair business practices.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve first reading of Ordinance 25-18, Enacting Avon Muncipal Code
Chapter 5.14 - Private Parking Lots.”
Thank you, Miguel

Page 2 of 3
• Committee member Amy Phillips provided an example of a “lesson learned” when the Fitness Court was constructed in the park without proper approval. She reiterated that a process needs to be maintained so Staff cannot deviate from the approved plan. Amy shared that she feels the responsibility of this plan should fall under the General Government Department.
• Committee member Amy Phillips shared that the narrative format of the plan makes this a digestible document, and all other Town parks need to relate to Nottingham Park. Planning Manager Jena Skinner provided additional information regarding the plan update process, confirming that what has been presented is a preliminary draft and the committee will have another opportunity for review. Jena confirmed that multiple Town departments will be involved with updating and maintaining the park plan document. She also spoke to a larger master plan effort to incorporate the Town’s other parks and open space. The committee provided additional feedback:
• Vice-Chair Lisa Post commented that the maps and graphics are more simple and easier to follow.
• Committee member Kathy Ryan feels that the lake itself should be considered its own subarea.
• Committee member Amy Phillips commented that the intention to move the Metcalf Cabin to a more prominent location in Nottingham Park would allow the Town to highlight its history more. Moving the cabin will allow for the addition of a second green room which will support improved musical show operations.
• Committee member Amy Phillips expressed that the lake should be part of Subarea 1 and shared that it should be split into two sections since there is a lot of activity in that zone.
• Committee member Amy Phillips requested that the updated park plan be written with more certainty as it is finalized; include more visionary and direct language.
• Committee member Kathy Ryan expressed concern regarding the removal of the Fitness Court since she sees people using it consistently.
• Vice-Chair Lisa Post asked who will be taking this project over since Sarah will no longer be making plan updates. Lisa also expressed the importance of obtaining all the draft documents, images, graphics, etc. to ensure a smooth transition. Recreation Director Michael Labagh provided additional information about how the Town’s Capital Improvements Plan is created and approved. He mentioned that the removal of the Fitness Court will occur when the Town is ready to construct a larger picnic shelter to replace it. He assured Committee member Kathy Ryan that Staff have reviewed alternative locations for the Fitness Court but have not been successful finding a suitable section of the park. Recreation Director Labagh confirmed that the Community Development, Public Works, Recreation and General Government Departments will be working together to finish updating the plan in 2026. Planning Manager Jena Skinner thanked the committee for their engagement and asked that any additional comments, questions or concerns can be sent directly to her or Recreation Director Michael Labagh. 5.2 Health and Recreation Committee Update Recreation Director Labagh provided the proposed 2026 Health and Recreation Committee schedule for approval. He shared the committee meetings will continue a similar schedule on the third Tuesday, every other month. Several committee members’ terms will expire in March 2026, and Recreation Director Labagh confirmed that there will be five seats available during the committee recruitment process. The committee approved the proposed

Page 3 of 3
Health and Recreation meeting schedule for 2026. 5.3 Recreation Department Update Recreation Director Michael Labagh provided a brief presentation reviewing Fall facility maintenance projects, Black Friday Seasonal Membership Sale, Avon Turkey Trot Race, Eaglebend Pocket Park construction and anticipated Recreation Center refurbishment and expansion projects. The committee commented/inquired:
• Committee member Amy Phillips confirmed that the construction fencing at Eaglebend Pocket Park was intact but that further adjustments were necessary for snow storage/removal. Amy also asked if the new picnic shelter at the park will be available to reserve.
• Committee member Kathy Ryan asked for more information about the issue of adding a portable toilet in Eaglebend Park. She inquired if the same screening could be added to the portable toilets by the fishing pier in Nottingham Park. Kathy also voiced her opposition to adding a restroom facility to the north parking lot area in Nottingham Park off West Beaver Creek Boulevard.
• Committee member Amy Phillips asked how long the pool area would be closed and if we are considering reducing admission rates.
• Committee member Kathy Ryan asked if we would be able to host competitions after the construction.
• Committee member Derek George inquired how insulating the water slide would work, since it is being proposed to be partially outside of the building. He also asked if the Town has ever considered adding a cold plunge as an amenity for guests. Recreation Director Michael Labagh provided clarification that the portable toilet and screening would not be included in the final construction at Eaglebend Park due to neighborhood concerns. He shared that the picnic shelter in Eaglebend Park will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Town staff plan to check in with the Eaglebend neighborhood after the first full summer operation of the redeveloped park to determine if any adjustments are needed. Recreation Director Labagh confirmed the pool area will be closed April - November 2026. He informed the committee that reducing rates are an option, but he is trying to partner with other aquatics facilities to ensure Avon residents have access to pools during the refurbishment project. Director Labagh reiterated that the pool shells themselves would not be changing. Although the addition of gutters to the Lap Pool is welcomed to improve water quality and bather experience, it will maintain 5 swimming lanes with a diving well. Michael Labagh provided additional information regarding insulation and design factors for the water slide. He also expressed concern about adding a cold plunge in the facility due to the high-risk nature of the amenity. 6. OTHER BUSINESS AND COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS No other business or committee member comments were received. 7. ADJOURNMENT Committee Chair Nancy Tashman asked if there was a motion to adjourn the meeting. Committee Vice Chair Lisa Post motioned to adjourn the meeting. Committee Member Amy Phillips seconded the motion. The meeting adjourned at 1:37 p.m. on November 18, 2025. Respectfully submitted by, Michael Labagh Recreation Director

2. STAFF UPDATE
Chief Cultural Officer (“CCO”) Dempsey provided a review of the staff report. It was confirmed that the bluegrass festival will
be moving forward for 2026. Due to ongoing construction, bluegrass will only be scheduled in October 2026, and we will
look to 2027 to host an additional bluegrass festival in June.
The Committee commented / inquired:
A. Does the restroom project impact any other third party or Avon produced events in 2026?
B. What is causing the delays?
CCO Dempsey stated that special events will have to rent portable restrooms for the month of June. The modular buildings
have been delayed.
Senior Special Events Coordinator (“SSEC”) Van Winkle provided a recap presentation about culture, arts, and special events programming in 2025. Avon was activated for 101 days, hosted over 38,000 guests, and had an 88% diversion rate.

CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES, 20 NOVEMBER 2025 PAGE 2 | 3
F. What’s driving the difference between budget and actuals for AvonLIVE? What about on the expense side? G. We are seeing the same trend with consumption of alcohol. We have added non-alcoholic beverages to try and
close that gap. I think that could be an option for Avon. The younger generation is not drinking as much. H. Why is the Salute budget over?
I. Have we finalized Lakeside Cinema for 2026?
SSEC Van Winkle said the Sustainability Fair will likely be at the Sun & Ski lot again. There was a decline in participation of
the clean-up portion which is why it will be separate next year.
Special Event Coordinator (“SEC”) Dennis explained the definition of a diversion rate and mentioned that Avon works
closely with the Walking Mountains zero waste team to track that information and provide zero waste services.
SSEC Van Winkle also explained that concessions at AvonLIVE! were down this year. It is an industry trend right now. We budgeted 2025 numbers based on 2024 and vendor fees have stayed flat.
CCO Dempsey mentioned that we spent less money on talent in 2025 and the booking team has directed Avon to spend a
little more for larger bands in 2026.
SSEC Van Winkle noted that the I-70 closure impacted Salute attendance, and we did not have the level of talent as we had
with Melissa Ethridge in 2024. We also could not accept as many food vendors as we relocated them to Lake Street.
CCO Dempsey stated that increased prices caused Salute to be overbudget. Talent was also more expensive. We offset some of the cost with support from our sponsors. Lakeside Cinema will not return in 2026.
SSEC Van Winkle recapped the 2025 art installation and programming.
The Committee commented / inquired:
A. Are we making postcards for all our murals?
B. Where do those postcards get distributed?
C. Congratulations to you all, the Art Guild at Avon also got voted “Best Of”. We got a lot of support from Avon this
year. The art walks got some traction, and people are really starting to check out the gallery space. D. Will you take this presentation to Council? How does that work?
CCO Dempsey mentioned that our new reusable bag design will be the new mural, Postcards from Avon. Postcards will
come later. An Art Guild at Avon update will hopefully go to council in Q1 of 2026. The Art Guild at Avon has done a great
job with increasing engagement and offerings for members and non-members. Kudos to the Art Guild and Russell.
SSEC Van Winkle noted that a written report detailing everything in this presentation has already been included in a council
packet. It also included the AvonLIVE! and Salute survey results and is linked in the CASE packet materials.
CCO Dempsey explained the committee’s history of council work sessions and that we have not had one since October
2024. There is not one scheduled for 2026, but we will have one if there is a need for policy direction.
SSEC Van Winkle reviewed the third party produced events, mentioning that the Vail Lacrosse Tournament canceled their event at the last minute. Some highlights include a slight change in venue design at Triple Bypass, Avon Arts Celebration
saw an increase in attendance, and there were weather impacts at Dancing in the Park and AVID Dance.
CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2025 IN-PERSON AT AVON TOWN HALL
CASE COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES, 20 NOVEMBER 2025 PAGE 3 | 3
The Committee commented / inquired:
A. We need to work on the Cars in the Park sound system for next year. B. Vail Valley Soccer Tournament had 217 teams, and we had every hotel and restaurant packed from Vail to
Gypsum. It’s worth looking into how much revenue that event generated in Avon.
C. Can we promote AVID Dance a little more next year?
D. Does Avon always offer the option to market for a third-party event?
E. Is Pride in the Park a fundraiser?
F. It’s interesting to see the cost per attendee for each event. I would like to see how much each person brings to the
town. If they are spending money at restaurants and businesses, then we are making money. G. Kudos to the Avon Arts Celebration. I was impressed with the variety of mediums they had this year. They had so many different offerings!
H. Man of the Cliff was a big third-party event that went away with the producer. I’m curious to see if there is an
element of that event that comes back with the bluegrass festival. I just wanted to plant that seed as you grow the
relationship!
CCO Dempsey stated that Avon gave AVID Dance cash funding to do their own marketing this year. Avon provided them
with marketing last year but that is not traditional. When it comes to funding, we do not see in-kind and cash support going
away.
Committee Chair Chesney clarified that Pride in the Park is not a fundraiser.
CCO Dempsey mentioned that the cost per attendee at Dancing in the Park is higher than for our other events but speaks to
our support of arts and culture. We used to use MuniRevs to track where event guests spent their money in Avon. It was a
was not an efficient way to track the data. Now, we use an educated guess and have plenty of spreadsheets to estimate
return on investment (“ROI”).
SSEC Van Winkle mentioned that we have the AvonLIVE! survey data as a reference, but next year we will be using Placer
AI technology to support us in collecting data.
4. CURRENT ACTIVITY / PLANNING
CCO Dempsey reviewed the CASE members whose terms are up in 2026 and provided a brief overview of the application
process.
The CASE Committee collectively decided to cancel December’s meeting and save future conversations until January 2026.
CCO Dempsy provided a brief overview of the park master plan that will be presented in January.
CCO Dempsey reviewed the 2026 meeting schedule. The committee opted to keep the monthly meeting schedule for 2026 except for June, July, and August.

since he lives in the Avon Center building also. Town Attorney Nina Williams said the board can discuss
and address these conflicts when we get to the Lot B Agenda Item.
4. PUBLIC COMMENT
No public comments were made in person nor virtually.
5. BUSINESS ITEMS
5.1 PRESENTATION: Sun Road Redevelopment Plan Update (Community Development Director
Matt Pielsticker)
Town Manager Eric Heil took the board members through an update on the Sun Road Redevelopment
Plan. The conceptual design process has officially commenced, and initial design options will be
developed in the coming weeks. Close coordination with a transportation engineering firm (Fehr &
Peers) is informing the space and layout requirements of a potential regional transportation facility in
the project. Initial meetings with stakeholders (USPS, FirstBank, Walgreens) kicked off last month and
are ongoing and staff took them through all the aspirations. All findings will be put together in a draft
and its clear that we will have to make it work for existing property owners first before we can bring
some redevelopment ideas forward.

Staff will bring conceptual design plans to the DDA in early 2026. Once the DDA and Planning and
Zoning Commission (“PZC”) provide input, the plans will go to Avon Town Council. After approval by
Council the preferred conceptual design will serve as the basis for a future Request for Proposal
(“RFP”) to solicit interest by private developers and investors to implement redevelopment of the Sun
Road Plan area.
The board had a few questions. Board member Chris Neuswanger suggested to take really good notes
on all communications with the US Postal Service. Board member Marcus Lindholm asked if staff has
been engaged with any developers. Staff confirmed not yet and we may do an open house for
interested developers and get input and questions before we go to RFP. Board member Rob Tartre
aske what the expected unit count is. Staff confirmed very rough estimates are 200-250 units, and if
there is a boutique hotel that would reduce the unit count.
5.2 PRESENTATION: Lot B – The Summit Public Amenities (Town Manager Eric Heil)
The board addressed the potential conflict of interest for DDA Board Chair Emrick and Board Member
Rob Tartre. Town Attorney Nina Williams read the Colorado Statutes and expressed there would be a
conflict of interest if these board members have a direct ownership interest or personal financial benefit
in the development or this development would benefit their property values more than other property
owners in the district. The group discussed there is no personal financial benefit to these 2 board
members as they have no direct ownership interest in the development or the lot. But many board
members own in the DDA area and development in the DDA area would benefit property values in the
DDA which would apply to these 2 board members similar as it would to other property owners in the
district.
After discussion the other board members agreed this is not a conflict of interest and that Tony Emrick
and Rob Tartre could participate in the presentation. DDA Board Chair Emrick asked once more if any
board members felt this would be a conflict. No board members spoke.
Town Manager Eric Heil then took the DDA board members through the presentation of Lot B – located
between the Avon Center building and Avon Town Hall. Staff has negotiated with the developer of Lot
B to include several public amenities which are unique to this property due to its location. This
development is proposing to offer 4 amenities.
1. A community Workshop/Coffee Shop
2. Pedestrian Path Connection
3. Town Hall Civic Plaza
4. Expansion of Lettuce Shed Plaza

Town Manager Eric Heil asked the group, is this an attractive group of amenities for this lot? If so, staff
can start working and analyze the financial impact.
The board discussed both hesitations and reasons to favor these amenities, in particular the
Community Workshop/Coffee Shop. The board did agree that if a non-residential use doesn’t work, it
can always still be turned into residential in the future. After discussion, the board members said they
are generally favorable and agree it is worth looking into further.
Town Manager Eric Heil thanked the board for their feedback and expressed that figuring out what
goes in this space may be a year-long community process. During the pedestrian mall process, we
heard feedback for more activation on the mall. This is the last chance of any community facing
development on the mall. He said the TIFF generated from this development would be used to pay for
this. This will likely get to PZC in December, to Council in January and then probably come back to the
DDA at the February 2 board meeting.
6. MINUTES
Board Member Lisa Mattis motioned to approve the Minutes from Avon DDA Board Meeting held
November 3rd, 2025. Board Member Chris Neuswanger seconded the motion. The motion passed
unanimously by those present.
7. EXECUTIVE SESSION

purchase, acquisition, lease, transfer or sale of real estate pursuant to CRS 24-6-402(4)(a) and for the
purpose of determining negotiating positions, developing strategy for negotiations, and instructing
negotiators pursuant to CRS 24-6-402(4)(e)(i) concerning development of real property.

TO: Honorable Mayor Phillips and Council members FROM: Patty McKenny, Deputy Town Manager RE: Grants Program Update DATE: December 3, 2025
SUMMARY: The purpose of the written report is to provide an update about the town’s grant program and show the status of activity since June 2025 when the last report was submitted. The program worksheet has been updated and is summarized in Attachment A. The climate for both state and federal grant funding opportunities and awards has been somewhat unpredeictable this year. Town staff continue to seek opportunities for funding and track current grant awards for funding changes. This is submitted as a written report and no action by Council is requested.
BACKGROUND: The Town Manager’s Office has established a formal grant administration program to secure funding for town projects. The Town of Avon works with Sustainable Strategies (S2) for grant search and writing services. Staff meet with S2 regularly to assess opportunities based on priorities and competitiveness.
STATE AND FEDERAL GRANT PROGRAMS: Town staff are actively seeking state and federal grants with S2 to support the CIP plan. Grant funding remains highly competitive and unstable due to federal freezes and state budget constraints, creating uncertainty for local governments. Some programs are resuming, but delays persist, and the Town expects opportunities in areas like transportation electrification and affordable housing to decrease.
AVON’S GRANT PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS: Please see Attachment A for the status of the Town’s grant funded programs. The list of approved grants shows two active grant applications, a number of completed projects with grant funding, and of course projects that are ongoing. Grant funding of most projects is based on a reimbursement basis.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: The 2026 budget includes funds to continue supporting the retainer arrangement with S2 for their advocacy and grant writing services. Project teams for grant submittals and administration typically include the points of contact from the department, the town manager’s office, and a finance staff member. Staff will present updates to the budget as grant funds are awarded.
TOWN MANAGER RECOMMENDATION OR COMMENTS:
PROPOSED MOTION: No motion is required as this is a written report only.
Thank you, Patty
