TO: Chairperson Tony Emrick and DDA Board Members FROM: Paul Redmond, Chief Finance Officer
RE: Resolution 26-02 Tax Increment IGA (Avon Station, URA and DDA)
DATE: June 22, 2026
SUMMARY: This agreement establishes how tax increment revenue generated from Lot B, the only Avon
Station property located within the Downtown Development Authority (“DDA”) boundaries, will be allocated
among the Avon Urban Renewal Authority (“URA”), the DDA, and Avon Station. The agreement is intended
to provide clarity, avoid future disputes, and ensure that revenue is handled consistently as authority
transitions from the URA Plan period to the DDA Plan period and ultimately back to Avon Station.
Under the agreement, Lot B tax increment revenue is treated differently depending on the applicable plan
period and the source of the mill levy. During the term of the URA Plan, the URA retains all Lot B tax
increment revenue generated from both Avon Station’s debt service mill levy and operating mill levy,
including related specific ownership taxes.
After the URA Plan terminates, while the DDA Plan remains in effect, the agreement distinguishes between
debt service-related and operating-related revenue. Debt service-related Lot B tax increment revenue must
be remitted by the DDA to Confluence, on behalf of Avon Station, to support obligations under the District
IGA and the 2021 pledge agreements. Operating-related Lot B tax increment revenue may be retained by
the DDA and used for purposes authorized under the DDA Plan.
Upon termination of the DDA Plan, all Lot B tax increment revenue from both levy types will flow directly to
Avon Station, and neither the URA nor the DDA will retain any further rights to that revenue. The
agreement also includes annual reporting requirements, and a requirement that the URA and DDA provide
at least 180 days’ notice before their respective plan termination dates, with final accounting.
For the DDA Board, the primary policy consideration is that the agreement preserves the intended use of
Lot B tax increment revenue during each applicable plan period while providing transparency,
accountability, and a clear framework for revenue administration as the URA and DDA plans expire.
RECOMMENDATION: We recommend approval of the tax increment revenue remittance agreement. This
will be a great use of DDA funds and benefit our community by adding much needed activation spaces to
serve the Avon community. Attachment A, is the IGA Tax Increment Agreement.
PROPOSED MOTION: “I move to approve Resolution 26-02 Adopting the Intergovernmental Agreement Between
the Avon Urban Renewal Authority, the Avon Downtown Development Authority and Avon Station Metropolitan
District Concerning the Remittance of Tax Increment Revenues until 2054.”
Thank you, Paul

5. Business Items
5.1 DDA BOARD POSITIONS EXPIRING (Chief Finance Officer Paul Redmond)
Paul Redmond discussed two expiring board positions. The positions are currently held by Lisa Mattis
and Scott Tarbet. Paul discussed the procedures for applying for the two positions.
5.2 RESOLUTION 26-01 IGA BETWEEN TOWN OF AVON AND AVON DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY (Town Manager Eric Heil)
Town Manager Eric Heil presented the proposed Lot B development and related public amenities. The
development includes 16 deed-restricted units and community space. He also reviewed the history of the
Main Street concept, noting prior planning efforts in 2008 before the recession interrupted progress, and
discussed the current proposal and background for the community space component.
1. The board asked whether the Town would own the community space.
2. The board asked about the estimated cost breakdown, including housing, community space, and
outdoor amenities.
3. The board asked about the revenue side of the proposed investment and how funds would be
handled before construction is complete.
Paul Redmond reviewed valuation assumptions and expected tax revenue. Eric Heil discussed how
future tax revenue could offset debt service on a loan from Alpine Bank. The board also raised concerns
about the cost of debt and the operational responsibilities associated with the community space. Eric Heil
acknowledged those concerns, described the project as a significant step forward, and said he was
confident Town staff could manage the new space.
1. The board raised concerns about rental rates declining due to additional inventory at this location
and other developments.
2. The board asked what was included in the commercial space estimate and what level of finish was
assumed.
3. The board asked about key project risks and the timing of this project related to the Sun Road
Redevelopment.
4. The board asked whether the 16 housing units could be sold rather than rented and expressed
concerns about a rental-only structure rather than potential ownership opportunities.
5. The board asked whether other financing options could be explored and whether the Finance
Committee should review alternatives.
6. The board also discussed rental housing, AMI levels, and whether the 100% AMI target is negotiable.
7. The board asked for confirmation regarding the effect of the proposed motion.
Eric Heil responded that ownership of this property was not an option because the developer is not
interested. He also referenced other future ownership opportunities, including Sun Road, 91 Beaver
Creek Place, and new Village at Avon units. Eric Heil explained the 100% AMI target is already down
from the original 120% and that lowering it further would increase project cost.
Eric Heil explained that the action would allow the DDA to pledge TIF revenue from this project toward
debt service. DDA Board Chair Emrick then made a motion to approve Resolution 26-01 adopting the
intergovernmental agreement between the Town of Avon and the Avon Downtown Development
Authority, concerning the remittance of tax increment revenues until 2054. Gregg Cooper seconded the
motion. The motion passed 7 to 1 with Rob Tarte voting no.
5.3 PRESENTATION: VAA Phase 1 and 2 Revenue Projections (Chief Finance Officer Paul
Redmond)
Paul Redmond presented revenue projections for VAA Phases 1 and 2 and discussed the different
parcels and their expected revenue impacts for the Town and VAA. During this discussion, Board
Member Rob Tartre left the meeting at 4:22 p.m. The board suggested doing an
aggressive/average/conservative revenue projection for each project. No action was taken as this was a
presentation.
5.4 PRESENTATION: Transit-Oriented Neighborhood Pilot Program Update (Town Manager Eric
Heil)
Eric Heil provided an update on the Transit-Oriented Neighborhood Pilot Program and the related
legislation. He explained that the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) would identify rural communities
eligible for these funds in 2027. The board asked about the potential for Eagle County investment in the
Sun Road transit center, and Eric Heil discussed the expenses and operational challenges already facing
Core Transit. Board Member Marcus Lindholm left the meeting at 4:44 p.m.
6. Minutes
Board Chair Tony Emrick motioned to approve the minutes from the last meeting. Board Member Lisa
Mattis seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously with the members present.
