TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Rich Carroll and Avon Town Council
From: Brian Garner, Town Planner
Date: July 15, 2014 Town Council Meeting Agenda Topic: Nottingham Park Pavilion (Stage) Update
The H.A. Nottingham Park Stage Design Team has been busy working with VAg Architects to take the conceptual design into the preliminary engineering stages of the project. Submitted for consideration by
the Planning & Zoning Commission (PZC) for the July 15, 2014 public hearing meeting is the formal
application for the proposed H.A. Nottingham Park Pavilion (Stage) consisting of a Major Development Plan and Location, Character & Extent application as required by the Avon Development Code. Brian
Judge of VAg Architects will present a brief overview of the project to Council just prior to the PZC
meeting Tuesday where the PZC will take formal action on the project.
The proposed Stage will be a cultural and entertainment venue for the community to enjoy music festivals
and concerts, art exhibitions, theater performances, educational events and private functions in both summer and winter. As designed, the stage has a 25’ x 45’ performance space and is large enough to accommodate a 60-piece orchestra as well as bands that typically perform at events such as
WinterWonderGrass. The Pump House will remain as Nottingham Lake’s irrigation pump system, with the exterior remodeled for continuity with the stage. The existing Pump House deck will be removed in favor of a new larger cantilevered deck over the Lake as the back deck to the new stage. A “Green
Room” will be connected to the stage, with adequate space for theater performances. The Green Room will also serve as a small kitchen for events, which can include weddings, receptions and private
gatherings.
Investing in the development of the proposed Pavilion and Stage furthers the goal of building the cultural
vitality of Avon’s central core. Already in 2014, the Town of Avon is hosting summer concerts with
Bravo-Vail! in Nottingham Park, expanding the Reds, Whites and Brews Festival to a larger single day event, providing seed money for Flavors of Color, a culinary and arts event, and expanding a small film
series as well as having partnered with the producers of WinterWonderGrass in February. Please contact me or Virginia should you wish to see the full staff report for these applications being
presented to PZC or have any questions. Thank you,

FINAL EASY LOOP TRAIL DESIGN DETERMINATION
PAGE 1 OF 2
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Avon Town Council
From: Virginia C. Egger, Town Manager
Date: July 11, 2014
Agenda Topic: Final Determination of Easy Loop Trail in the West Avon Parcel
Summary
At Town Council’s May 13th, 2014, regular meeting, Council unanimously approved a Professional
Services Agreement with Momentum Trail Concepts for construction of hiking/mountain biking
trails in Wildridge and the West Avon Preserve. One trail, Easy Loop, was approved with direction
for meeting with neighborhood residents to evaluate changes to the layout to increase distance
from the trail to the homes. Since that time, three site walks have been held on-site at Beaver
Creek Point to walk potential Easy Loop routes. Neighbors and interested mountain bikers have
joined Mayor Rich Carroll at the on-site sessions.
The last session was held July 10th, at 5:30 p.m., with approximately 15 persons in attendance.
Mayor Pro Tem Jennie Fancher and Councilor Matt Gennett joined the Mayor at the site. The
meeting was noticed that a quorum of Council could be in attendance and was not limited to
adjoining neighbors.
Prior the meeting an email was sent out the neighborhood group and mountain bikers who had
participated in the previous site walks. A map was provided and the group was informed the Easy
Loop route had been ribboned. Mayor Carroll, Lee Rimel, Peter Sherowski, Jim Horan, Matt
Pielsticker and Casey Wyse all participated in the route design for the 36” wide trail. General
features of the 36” wide route, included:
• A low trail grade averaging 2%, with no grade exceeding 6%
• Placement of the trail in lower areas of terrain to reduce cut visibility on higher slopes
• Increased distance from homes
• One entrance point from the Beaver Creek Point Parking Lot
• Distance of the trail – 1.0 mile.
Using the attached map, the meeting yielded general consensus that:
1) From the parking lot, the proposed single trail entrance should be changed to start
from parking lot’s southwest corner, a more direct access to the loop.
2) Traveling counterclockwise on the map, the route traverse was good with
approximately 50’ separating homes from the trail as the path turned west. All
neighbors asked, as construction adjustments are made in the field, greater distance be
provided away from the homes rather than an adjustment being shifted closer to any
home. There was agreement to this “rule” for on-site construction adjustments.
FINAL EASY LOOP TRAIL DESIGN DETERMINATION
PAGE 2 OF 2
3) Retain an arborist familiar with aspen groves of the type on the proposed Easy Loop
Trail to assess if the trail is cut through the grove what might be the effect on the top
of the grove and impacts on wildlife. Momentum’s Matt Thompson should join the
arborist to explain cut depth and areas of expected switchbacks.
It may not be possible to have a professional arborist’s opinion by Tuesday’s meeting, but after
taking public comment and reviewing written comments received prior to the meeting, Mayor
Carroll will ask Council to review this preferred option and decide on the route, with the condition
that a final decision on the trail ‘at the aspen grove’ be finalized once the arborist’s information has
been received and reviewed.
With all other approved trails in the West Avon Preserve expected to be completed in ten (10)
days, this will allow the trail to commence construction during the aspen grove section review.

We will be attending the meeting at the Easy Loop Bike Trail up in Wildridge. We
hope that the meeting will be moderated in such a fashion as to not insult anyone but
be listeners and try to include everyone's concerns and thoughts. The last meeting
was awful, considering the contractor, hired by Avon, was not asked to control his
black dog (without collar or license or leash who acted aggressively toward two
leashed dogs and they took their dogs home) and insulted one of our neighbors to the
point where he and his wife left the meeting. Nothing was said to this contractor
about his manners or the way he was insulting to many of us.
Please make a point of keeping this meeting respectful of everyone's opinions and
letting people speak without being interrupted or insulted.
Thank you,
Lisa and Doug Currey

July 7, 2014 Town of Avon Council Dear Council Members, Our family has resided for 21 years at 2150 Long Spur in Wildridge, in close proximity to the parcel of land Avon recently acquired from the Forest Service. We applaud the Council for its foresight in pursuing ownership of this land as an important amenity to all of the residents of Avon and have been pleased to see the progress on the trails system through this area. We are writing to address the recent controversy over trails in the vicinity of Beaver Creek Point. We strongly support this portion of the overall trails and access plan because it provides an entry point to the recreational area for young riders and casual walkers of all ages, supporting the Town’s vision of connecting the community to recreational opportunities and the open spaces that make Avon a great place to live. The Town has provided off-street parking on Beaver Creek Point to minimize the impact of the modest increase in traffic the trails access will cause. Every public project will have impacts to specific neighborhoods, but it’s our opinion that the benefits of this trails project, as designed and thoughtfully modified, far outweigh the impacts.

Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2014 8:36 AM To: Rich Carroll Cc: O'Leary, Prentice ; Virginia Egger; Matt Pielsticker Subject: O'Leary Concerns: Mayor Rich Carroll Update on Easy Loop Design for July 10th meeting
Dear Rich, We are writing to you on a matter of personal concern.
Arriving home from a short trip, we found this email and reviewed the flags marking Easy Loop Trail. We
are writing to express great distress.
The considerations that were made to move the loop away from others have not been taken in regard to
our home:
1. The current placement of the trail leading from the Beaver Creek Point parking lot to Easy Loop
Trail creates a direct line of sight to our home. It will be obvious to anyone riding/walking down
which lights are on and off, who is gardening, whether our cars are in the garage, if there is a
package on the porch, etc. This exposure, which is more direct than from the street, is not
acceptable. When this route (an immediate left turn from the lot) was suggested (by one person at the first meeting held on the Point), we said we wanted it to turn west further to the north. We thought we had been heard. 2. The easternmost point of the trail (on the southeast arc) is closer to our home than any point on
the Loop is to any other home. This needs to be moved to the west.
In this new layout, accommodations were made for all other homeowners. Ours is the only home with a
direct line of sight to our personal activities. We have been supportive consensus builders throughout this
entire process. We ask that you modify the layout to address our concerns.
Thank you,
Paula and Prentice O’Leary

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
DRAFT FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY DRAFT
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
From: Virginia Egger, Town Manager
Date: July 7, 2014
Re: WinterWonderGrass – 3 Day Music Festival – February 20-22, 2015
BACKGROUND
The Town Council provided first year “seed” funding of $50,000 to WONDERGRASS, LLC, producer Mr. Scotty
Stoughton, for the WinterWonderGrass (WWG) Festival in Nottingham Park last February 21-23. An additional
$25,000 was allocated for in-kind services for police, bus transportation operations and snow removal. WWG
utilized $23,678 of the allotted in-kind services.
While no agreement committing the Town to additional funding could be approved, the concept of three-years’
financial and in-kind support to assist WWG in becoming financially profitably and a signature event of the Town
of Avon was discussed and the basis for first-year funding.
At the time of the WWG request, the Council took two additional actions in regard to supporting events in
Avon:
• Council passed new legislation for a $2.00 per day/per ticket fee for all ticketed special events to help
pay for in-kind services, if needed, purchase equipment and/or build a reserve for the funding of
equipment for special events. WWG collected the fee as required.
• Council appropriated funds for new tax collection software which can measure individual daily sales
and lodging taxes when events occur (MuniRev/Tourism Tracker).
2014 WWG EVENT
The three-day February event was a unique, boutique winter music and beer festival, highlighting bluegrass and
roots music. Grammy award winning musicians, plus some of the most recognizable names in bluegrass music
with well-received “performers on the rise” were contracted with by producer Scotty Stoughton. This
exceptional line-up, for its first-year in Avon, attracted ticket sales exceeding the producer’s early estimates.
With stage performances ending early each evening, music was moved into Avon’s bars for a successful
partnership of park performance in support of restaurateurs and retailors.
Paid attendance for the event: Friday – 2,900; Saturday – 3,100; Sunday – 2,800.
There were no arrests during the weekend, no citizen complaints and all lodging in Avon sold out.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT
At the time of first year funding for WWG, Town Council considered the ROI Assumptions Demonstration
provided in the following Table 1. The results exemplified the “difficulty” in recouping $50,000 in tax support
from an event with a small population of attendees, even under ambitious assumptions. Unfortunately,
Muni/Rev and Tourism Tracker were not operational in time to track the daily receipts of WWG sales and
Page 2
lodging tax activity. Monthly gains of February 2014 over February 2013, however, have been added into
Table 1, to quantify total lodging taxes and sales taxes for the “most likely commodities expected to be
purchased while in Avon by a bluegrass festival attendee”, Groceries, Health and Specialty Foods, Liquor,
Sporting Good Retail/Rentals and Restaurant/Bar purchases.
While it is not possible to isolate how much of the net increase is attributable to WWG, February 2014 over
February 2013 indicates gains just about equal to the taxes estimated in the ROI Assumptions Demonstration in
all categories.
When compared to January and March 2014-2013 sales for the lodging and the same commodities in Table 1,
January saw a net tax increase of $7,142 ($230/day) and March an increase of $54,013 ($1,742/day).

In addition to tax revenue expected from WWG, the producer collected $17,670 in admission fees at
$2/day/ticket.
If one were to assume all net tax gains for lodging and commodities measured came from WWG plus admission
fees, the result would show Avon received $53,315 in new revenue from the event. This is probably not the
case, but clearly February 2014 was more successful than one year earlier.
The demonstration did indicate that as the event grows over time, it can be expected that revenue in future
years can eliminate the need for tax support (Table 2).
RETURN ON OBJECTIVES
WWG, in its first year in Nottingham Park, exemplified how development of a signature music event, with Town
support, can be launched. It is remarkable that the event, in its first year in Nottingham Park, attracted such
high daily attendance, and received media attention, with this kind of accolade, “This homegrown festival has
earned the right to be in the same ring as the Rocky Grass and Telluride Bluegrass Festivals. The ‘only in
Colorado’ element of hosting this event in February, in the mountains, and outdoors only adds to the mystique.
Sure I wore long johns each day, but that was a small price to pay for this utterly original experience. I can
definitely say I’m already thinking about next year."
The event met Avon’s brand with the entrepreneurial producer providing a community and family-minded
event that respected and celebrated the natural world, added a cultural amenity in the ski season, and brought
new business into Town.
In many regards the event set a high bar for Nottingham Park events, including a zero waste ethic, appropriate
event size for the infrastructure and Town business capacities, attention to neighborhood quality of life during
the event, top tier music and performance art matched with a well-produced setting.
Festival Survey results found 73.1% of attendees were from outside of the Vail Valley, with 44.4% staying in
vacation rentals. 50.6% stayed 2 or 3 nights, with 93.9% finding that WWG was a great value. 70% of attendees
had a bachelor or advanced degrees.
2014 WWG FUNDING AND IN-KIND REQUEST
Producer Scotty Stoughton has requested an increase in paid tickets to not exceed 4,800 per day,
funding of $50,000 and in-kind support of $25,000. He will be present at the Council meeting. Please see
his attached PowerPoint, which he will go through at the meeting.
Relying on the same assumptions in the ROI Assumptions Demonstration, Table 2 indicates WWG would
generate $50,900 in lodging and sales tax revenue. An estimated $25,500 in admissions would be yielded
with an average daily paid ticket count of 4,800 persons per day.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: WWG was a resounding success on any level – the site was well designed
and managed, the music was comprised of well-known and lauded musicians with groups at the vanguard
of the craft, there were no off-site impacts. In many respects, WWG set the bar and expectations for new
events in Nottingham Park in Avon. Revenues for February were up year-over-year and the return on
objectives met the Town’s brand.
In our view, WinterWonderGrass LLC has earned the opportunity for continuing financial support as a
signature event in Avon. The in-kind services requested are logical and can be off-set by a Special Event
Ticket Fee. The request of $50,000, however, does not account for the new stage being constructed,
which will reduce operational costs; and, new ticket revenue from increasing the attendee limit. We do
recognize, however, that this event is not yet fully established, and financial risk-sharing is important in its
second year in Avon. The expectation for quality and leading-edge music is the basis, in our view, for
funding. The understanding at the time of Year One 2013 budget funding was that “funding will diminish
in Years 2 and 3”. Staff, therefore, recommends Council consider a commitment of $40,000 for Year Two
support.
MOTION: If Council wishes to proceed, a motion should be made and include one of the more of the
following:
• Approval of event dates: February 2o, 21, 22, 2015
• Approval of in-kind up to $25,000
• Approval of $40,000 in musician support to be paid from the General Fund Special Event Reserve
(Balance is $139,000.)
• Approval of ticket sales not to exceed 4,800 per day
Page 5
• Approval of the Town Manager to sign an agreement for production, including but not limited to
all planning and producer performance dates, insurance, indemnification, deposits, marketing
plan, security and law enforcement plan, demographic data collection and other metrics as may
be determined, and reporting requirements
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT

Date: July 11, 2014
Re: Notice of Bids for Avon Road, Pedestrian Mall, Post Blvd and Funding Options
Four major projects are before Council for funding decisions at Tuesday’s meeting. Three projects – the
Pedestrian Mall, Avon Road Improvements and Post Boulevard Landscape Improvements have been designed,
bid and negotiated for contractor awards. All three of the projects, have come in considerably over the
architect’s bid estimate, provided in May of this year, and, therefore, are over budgeted amounts in the Capital
Projects Fund.
Since receiving the bids, staff has reviewed the projects in detail and negotiated with the respective
contractors’ on project costs. These negotiations, in our view, have resulted in better projects at reduced costs
through changing some sub-contractors, reducing over-engineered features, being more discerning in amounts
and types of vegetation and in utilizing town staff, where available, for traffic management. The following
table summarizes the progression of the projects.

At current negotiations, the funding shortfall for these projects is $525,000 ($3,056,000 – 2,531,000).
NOTTINGHAM PARK PAVILION (STAGE)
With architectural and structural design work progressing, another project, the Nottingham Pavilion (Stage) is
now projected to cost significantly more than in the current 2014 budget. Monies planned of $930,000 are now
expected to be more likely in the range for construction of $1, 500,00o to $1,700,000 for construction, for a
project total with design and contract management fee added of $1,900,000.
FUNDING OPTIONS
The following table provides three options for setting capital project priorities. The most successful option,
from the standpoint of moving forward with all projects, is the financing of the Nottingham Park Pavilion
(Stage) with Certificates of Participation (Option 1). Attachments A & B describe the use of COP money and
Page 2
terms. Option 2 delays the stage, due to increased cost, allowing Capital Project Funds to accumulate for this
major expenditure as a pay-as-you-go project. Support for this option would allow greater time for design,
including pre-construction contractor assistance. The project could be constructed in 2015, with other projects,
including the playground ($700,000) being lowered in priority and allowed time to seek grants.
Option 3 sets the Nottingham Park Pavilion (Stage) as the most important project for 2014, and finds the extra
funding through the delay or phasing of the other three projects discussed above.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends Option 1 for the following reasons:
• In working on the financing options, it becomes clear that major project funding on a pay-as-you-go
basis cannot be funded in a timely manner at current RETT collection rates.
• The Pavilion is expected to have a useful life of 15 – 20 years. These types of expenditures are
appropriate of debt financing.
• Interest rates remain highly favorable for debt issue.
• In working with contractors on the projects, all indicated that costs are expected to keep rising in the
next year due to supply demand and an improving economy. No contractor believed delaying the
projects will yield better prices in a year.
• All the projects identified this year for improvement are economic development investments and
envisioned as important infrastructure for the changes now proceeding in Avon, including East Avon
redevelopment, special event production and attraction, and critical elements for the Creative Art
District. The opportunity of having the projects completed prior to the 2015 AWSC, is thought to have
value.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Rich Carroll and Avon Town Council
From: Scott Wright, Asst. Town Manager P. Jonathan Heroux, Managing Director, Piper Jaffrey
Date: July 10, 2014
Re: Nottingham Park Stage Financing and CIP Long-range Plan
This memo is intended to inform the Town Council as to its options regarding how to finance the
construction of the Nottingham Park Stage and the impacts to the Capital Projects Fund.
The Town has 4 options absent the desire to go to the voters to ask for a debt authorization:
• Option 1 – Certificates of Participation
• Option 2 – Delay construction
• Option 3 – Reduce or eliminate other projects
• Option 4 – Finance with operating transfers from other Town funds
Option 1: COPs
COPs are not deemed to be debt under Tabor, but rather are considered annual appropriations
where the issuer has the choice to not appropriate in the future. The result of not appropriating is
the loss of the asset pledged as collateral for a specific financing. In general, issuers pledge the
asset being financed as the collateral. In other situations an unrelated asset may be pledged that
is deemed to be “essential” to the issuer. In general this collateral pledged needs to have a value similar to the total cost of the financing.
• Pros:
– Frequently used form of financing
– Market acceptance of COPs
– Town’s past experience with form of financing
– Quickly access capital markets
– Ability to non-appropriation of future debt
• Cons:
– Assets (with essentiality to the issuer) needs to be pledged as collateral
– Potential loss of asset if non-appropriation
Page 2
Option 2: Delay construction
If financing cannot be secured or Council is not interested in incurring debt for this project, the next option would be to delay construction on the Stage until such time that additional funds can be secured
for the cost of construction. This would allow other projects planned in the 2014 Capital Projects
Fund, which are designed and bid to go forward without having to either eliminate or drastically
reduce the scale of such projects.
Option 3: Reduce or eliminate other projects
If neither of the first two options are viable the next option would be to reduce and/or eliminate
current projects that are scheduled to being in 2014. The total amount of reductions necessary is
approximately $1.5 million. Projects on the list could include one or more of the following: the 2014 Avon Road Streetscape Update, the 2014 Mall Improvements project, annual paving and road
improvements, Post Blvd. Landscaping Improvements, and the Recreation Center Water Slide
replacement and restroom remodel.
Option 4: Operating transfers from other Town funds
Options 3 and 4 are similar in that approximately $1.3 million in resources are required to maintain the
current schedule of capital projects. Option 4 requires that a portion of this amount be transferred
from other funds of the Town. In the most recent supplemental budget for the Capital Projects Fund,
an operating transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $700,000 was included. This leaves the General Fund with only $615,828 in discretionary fund balances over the 25% minimum reserve
requirement. These discretionary funds are intended to be used to help smooth out budgetary
fluctuations in operating budgets, assist with implementing new programs, such as the Town’s
economic development program, new special events, and the Town’s pay step program. In addition,
the Town will be preparing a biennial budget, which may require the use of discretionary funds in the second year if revenue estimates do not pan out.
The Town has had strong, above budget collections through May for the current fiscal year for sales
and accommodation taxes as well as RETT. While we are entering the strong seasonal months for
these types of revenues, use of these funds should be considered only to fill a gap of some conservative amount for the capital projects. Strong year-end surpluses in these revenues, with an
adopted 2015 budget could yield monies for capital projects in the future, but at this time it is
premature to forecast with any certainty.
Recommendation
It is staff’s recommendation, along with Piper Jaffrey, that the Town could finance the
Nottingham Park Stage with COPs this calendar year. The current interest rate market is
favorable (relatively low interest rates), and the Town’s current credit rating on its other COP
issue is very good. In addition, the attached Draft Timetable indicates that the financing could be accomplished within a 6-week timeframe.
The Town would probably use the current Town Hall as collateral for the debt, but would have
call provisions available should a new Town Hall be purchased or constructed and the old Town
Page 3
Hall need to be demolished. Based on preliminary information, current market interest rates
would approximate a 3% coupon rate with annual debt service ranging from $176,750 to 241,500
depending on the term.

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Rich Carroll and Avon Town Council
From: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer
Date: July 9, 2014
Agenda Topic: Notice of Award for Avon Road Streetscape Project to R.A. Nelson
The Avon Road streetscape has not been updated since the construction of the roundabouts in 1998 and
is need of attention. The current scope for the Avon Road Streetscape Project is to update Avon Road
by replacing the median landscaping with native bushes and flowers, landscaping roundabouts 1 and 2
to present a new vision at Avon’s front door, replacing the irrigation system with newer, more efficient
fixtures, installing a variable message board near Walgreens, improving the monument sign in
roundabout 3, and painting the light poles and street furnishings olive green.
Discussion
The project was advertised for bid on May 1st, 8th and 15th in the Vail Daily and was posted on the Town’s
website starting May 1st, 2014. The pre-bid meeting was held on May 29th and the bid opening was on
June 5th, 2014. No bids were received so the project was modified by separating it from the Mall
Improvement Project and then re-advertised in the Denver Post and Grand Junction Sentential. Also
the bid opening was extended to June 26, 2014 and only one bid was submitted by RA Nelson for
$1,252,092.41 which is significantly higher than the project budget of $300,000.
Since the bid opening, Staff has met with R.A. Nelson several times to reduce the project cost. The
project cost has been reduced to $718,167, and still achieves the projects goals. The entire project
budget, including consultant fees and expenses for some tasks Avon Staff will self-perform, will need to
be $825,000 in order to complete the project. If Town Council would like to move forward with the
project, Town Council will have to direct Staff to revise project budget in the next Capital Improvement
Program budget amendment to $825,000.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff requests Council authorization to award the Avon Road Streetscape Project, to R.A. Nelson in the
amount of $ 718,167.
The notice allows the Town Manager or designee to sign the contractor’s agreement, subject to Town
Attorney review.

Agenda Topic: Notice of Award for Mall Improvement Project to Evans Chaffee Construction Group
The major goals of the Mall Improvement Project is to energize the West Town Center neighborhood by
creative place-making with streetscape and landscape elements and creating new spaces within the mall
for special events, children and family games and activities. Special consideration is given to
incorporation of existing West Town Center urban design and streetscape elements. Also, the landscape
and identity ideas coincide with the Avon Road Streetscape project to achieve a consistent and cohesive
image and strong sense of place for the entire Town Center of Avon.
Discussion
The project was advertised for bid on May 1st, 8th and 15th in the Vail Daily and was posted on the Town’s
website starting May 1st, 2014. The pre-bid meeting was held on May 29th and the bid opening was on
June 5th, 2014. No bids were received so the project was modified by separating it from the Avon Road
Streetscape Improvement Project and then re-advertised in the Denver Post and Grand Junction
Sentential. The bid opening was extended to June 26, 2014 and the following three bids were
submitted.
2014 Mall Improvement Project Bids
Contractor Amount
Evans Chaffee Construction Group $ 1,866,708.88
R.A. Nelson $ 2,179,772.89
Ewing Trucking and Construction $ 2,113,528.69
The project budget is $ 1,900,000 and after taking into account design fees ($300,000) and the children
play feature which is being procured separately ($120,000) there is $1,480,000 remaining for
construction. After the bid opening, Staff initiated negotiations with the Evans Chaffee Construction
Group (ECCG) to bring the project within the budget. The project has been negotiated down to
$1,469,356.33, of which approximately $35,000 will be reimbursed by the Wyndham development. This
leaves $45,643.67 or 3% for a project contingency which is a small contingency for a project of this
complexity.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff requests Council authorization to award the Mall Improvement Project, to Evans Chaffee
Construction Group in the amount of $ 1,469,356.33.
The notice allows the Town Manager or designee to sign the contractor’s agreement, subject to Town
Attorney review.
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor Rich Carroll and Avon Town Council
From: Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer
Date: July 9, 2014
Agenda Topic: Notice of Award for Post Boulevard Landscaping Improvements to Clark and Company
Town of Avon began receiving a 0.75% Public Improvement Fee (PIF) on November 1, 2013, on retail
sales in the Village (at Avon). A total of $317,000 has been collected through April, 2014, yielding a
monthly average of $52,000 (rounded). The PIF, through lawsuit settlement negotiations, provides
funding for operation and maintenance costs for services provided by the Town in the Village, as well as
maintenance funds for the roadway and landscaping of Post Boulevard and other right-of-ways in the
Traer Creek Metro District (TCMD). These improvements will be transferred into Town ownership once
settlement is implemented.
In anticipation of Post Blvd. being transferred to the Town, a refurbishment program was developed and
bid out for installation this year. Also, the landscaping for the Avon Regional Transportation Facility
(ARTF) was included with the project to gain economies of scale.
Description of Design
Pedro Campos, Zehren and Associates, was retained to design the landscaping refurbishment program.
Pedro completed the original landscaping design for TCMD in 2003, and therefore is knowledgeable of
the improvements as constructed and the TCMD design guidelines that govern the areas.
The original 2003 Post Boulevard landscape design is being used as basis for the landscape
improvements with appropriate plant substitutions and alternate design treatments where necessary.
Key goals of the design are to create a regionally appropriate landscape that is attractive while reducing
the overall consumption of water, energy and resources for operation, upkeep and maintenance. The
plans calls for cleaning up the existing landscaping, re-using the cobble ground cover, and using
ornamental grasses and drought tolerant trees, shrubs, and perennials to match the new landscape
installation on Avon Road.
Discussion
The project was advertised for bid on June 16th, 17th and 18th and was posted on the Town’s website
starting on June 13, 2014. The pre-bid meeting was held on June 19th and the bid opening was on July 2,
2014. Bids were received from Clark and Company and Neils-Lunceford for $497,334.87 and $691,229
respectively.
Town Council appropriated $331,000 for the Post Blvd Landscaping Project which also includes design
fees and painting the railings on Yoder Ave and Post Blvd. As a result $280,000 is available for the Post
Blvd Landscaping installation after taking into account these two items. The low bid by Clark and
Company for Post Blvd Landscaping portion of the project was $460,756 which is $180,756 over budget.
Page 2
Staff negotiated with Clark & Co. to remove several non-essential items to bring the project within
budget including not replacing the entire irrigation system, keeping the living Aspen trees and only
replacing dead Aspen trees on Post Blvd., and not removing and replacing the topsoil. The proposed
scope will bring Post Blvd up to the standard it was originally intended. Clark and Co. has not fully
accessed the condition of the irrigation system on Post Blvd so there is the risk that the cost to repair
the irrigation system may increase. If the cost of the irrigation repairs increase, the landscape
component may have to be modified or phased to keep the project within the $280,000 budget.
$56,760 is budgeted for landscaping in the ARTF project budget and the bid came in at $36,576 so is
$20,184 below budget.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Staff requests Council authorization to award the Post Blvd Landscaping Improvements, including ARTF
landscaping, to Clark & Company in the amount of $316,576.
The notice allows the Town Manager or designee to sign the contractor’s agreement, subject to Town
Attorney review.

and 4 of the Eagle Valley trail tentatively scheduled to be constructed in 2015. This section of
the EVT is partially funded with a Colorado of Transportation grant in the amount of
$653,000 and as a result acquiring these easements has followed the federal Uniform
Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act and all relevant regulations
promulgated thereto, and Colorado Revised Statues 24-56-101 through 121.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:

TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council
From: Virginia Egger, Town Manager
Date: July 9, 2014
Re: Ordinance 14-13 Revocable Encroachment License for Public Parking Lot
BACKGROUND
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the design for development of a public parking lot west of
Christy Sports at its April 24, 2014, meeting. The proposed site is Town-owned land, currently planted in grasses
with several trees on the lot. Staff recommended the change as a better use of the land considering location
near at the core of East Avon and onto Avon Road.
PROJECT SUMMARY
The parking lot would be developed by Hoffmann Commercial Properties at its cost.
• 30 +/- spaces would be provided
• Parking would remain open to the public
REVOCABLE ENCROACHMENT LICENSE
Staff Recommendation: Attached is Ordinance 14-13, which would grant a Revocable Encroachment License to
Hoffmann Commercial Properties to install, construct and maintain the parking lot. This is first reading.
• Initial term would be a minimum of 10 years, with a six month notice for termination thereafter.
• Use would be for public parking
• Hoffmann Commercial Properties could limit parking time, such as a 2-hour parking limit; no overnight
parking would be allowed
Term of Franchise Requested by HCRE: Jon White, President, Hoffmann Commercial Real Estate, has
requested the term of the lease be 99 years instead of the terms currently described in the License. In working
with Town Attorney Eric Heil, we concluded that a 99-year lease should still include a six-month notice for
termination; hence, the 99-year term seemed unnecessary. Jon is expected to join the Council meeting for this
agenda item.
REQUESTED BALLOT ISSUE FOR SALE OF THE PROPERTY: HCRE is also interested in acquiring the property
from the Town through the required voter approval at the ballot. Council should provide direction as to
whether this is a voter question you would support placing on the November 4, 2014, ballot. If so, the following
steps would need to be completed by August 5th:
• Appraisal completed by HCRE
• Covenant prepared for use as a short-term parking lot
• Draft ballot language prepared by Town Attorney
Council would review these materials at its August 12th meeting; and decide whether to move forward with a
sale question. Action on the ballot question would be August 26th.
MOTION: If Council wishes to proceed with the License and second reading, the recommended motion is:
I move to approve Ordinance 14-13 on first reading and refer the Ordinance to a public hearing for second
reading on July 22, 2014.

TO: Honorable Mayor Carroll and Town Council Members
FROM: Eric Heil, Town Attorney
RE: Revised to Add-On PIF Collection Services Agreement
DATE: July 10, 2014
Summary: Council previously approved an Add-On Retail Sales Fee Collection Services Agreement by Resolution
13-13 in spring of 2013. Since that time, the Commercial and Mixed-Use Public Improvement Companies (“PICs”)
desire revisions to conform the definitions of in the Collection Services Agreement and to expand the agreement to
include PIF Revenues that exceed the Add-On Retail Sales Fee amount and/or include Add-On PIFs that are
assessed on accommodations and real estate transfers. The majority of the revisions include changing the phrase
“Add-On Retail Sales Fee” to “Add-On PIF” and adding language to include within the scope of the Collection
Services Agreement applying an Add-On PIF to accommodations and to real estate transfers.
Collection Services Agreement: The Collection Services Agreement is the agreement whereby the PICs and the
Town retain Special District Management Services (“SDMS”) to perform the mechanical operation of assessing the
Add-On RSF (.75% on retail transactions) and remit that amount to the Town, or on behalf of the Town in the case of
the Asphalt Overlay Payments, as one of the essential terms of the overall settlement. There are three documents
that establish and implement the Town’s right to the .75% retail sales fee, including (1) the Development Agreement,
(2) the revisions to the Commercial and Mixed Use Declarations state Town’s right to enforce the imposition of the
Add-On Retail Sales Fee on vendors, and (3) the Collection Services Agreement whereby an agent is retained to
perform the function of imposing, collecting and remitting the Add-On Retail Sales Fee. To the extent that the PICs
may impose an Add-On PIF on retail sales greater than .75%, on accommodations or on real estate transfers, then
this Collection Services Agreement will govern SDMS’s obligations to impose, collect and remit those additional
amounts also. No additional Add-On PIF in excess of the .75% Add-On Retail Sales Fee is contemplated at this
time.
Substantive Changes: The only substantive change in these revisions is in Section 3.5 which addresses payment
of costs for SDMS’s services and which includes language that states costs related to Add-On PIF revenues which
are not part of the Municipal Payments to Town are to be paid by the non-Municipal Payment portion of revenues,
and where such costs cannot be attributed then the costs are to be paid on a pro-rata basis. SMDS’s charges are a
very small percentage of the overall revenues (less than 1%) and the proposed language is fair and technically
appropriate. The other substantive change was to add Section 3.8 which states that there are no third party
beneficiaries, which is a good general drafting clause to include in contracts. There are no other substantive
changes and it is my opinion that all the revisions are acceptable and the revised Collection Services Agreement is
consistent with the requirements for an Add-On Retail Service Fee in the Development Agreement.
Requested Town Council Action: Approve Resolution No. 14-15 “A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ADD-ON
PIF FEE COLLECTION SERVICES AGREEMENT.”

COLLECTION SERVICES AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, on October 7, 2011 the Town of Avon and other parties entered into the Settlement
Term Sheet (“Settlement Term Sheet”) in an effort to resolve pending litigation No. 2008 CV
385 and 2010 CV 316, Eagle County District Court;
WHEREAS, as partial implementation of the Settlement Term Sheet, the Avon Town Council
approved the Consolidated, Amended and Restated Annexation and Development Agreement
(“CARADA”) by Ordinance No. 12-10 which set forth obligations in section 6.5 of the
CARADA for the PICs to collect, or cause the Add-On RSF Collection Agent to collect the
Add-On RSF Revenues for the purpose of remitting such revenues to Asphalt Overlay Account
and to the Town as Municipal Payments (as the terms “PIC,” “Add-On RSF Collection Agent,”
“Add-On RSF Revenues,” “Asphalt Overlay Account,” and “Municipal Payments” are defined
in the CARADA);
WHEREAS, the Avon Town Council previously approved an Add-On Retail Service Fee
Collection Services Agreement (“Collection Services Agreement”) by Resolution No. 13-13;
however, certain revisions made by Village (at Avon) Commercial Public Improvement
Company and the Village (at Avon) Commercial Public Improvement Company which were not
substantive to the Town’s rights to the Add-On Retail Service Fee under the CARADA were
desired to conform the definitions in the Collection Services Agreement to various bond
documents and to allow for the potential to impose an Add-On PIF in excess of the Add-On RSF
and/or an Add-On PIF applicable to accommodations and real estate transfers, thereby requiring
the Town to re-approve the Collection Services Agreement as amended; and,
WHEREAS, the Avon Town Council approved the Receipt and Escrow Agreement Pertaining
to The Village (at Avon) Settlement Implementation by Ordinance No. 12-10 which set forth
various terms concerning the execution and deposit of documents and agreements into escrow
and the effectiveness or voiding of such documents and agreements.

OF AVON, that the Add-On PIF Collection Services Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A,
is hereby approved by the Town of Avon subject to the terms and conditions of the Receipt and

Exhibit A
8
1305311.1
on information supplied to it by the PICs and the Director of Finance, and will coordinate with
the PICs and the Director of Finance to update all Information and relevant forms prior to
distributing them to PIF Obligors. If the PICs change such reporting forms, procedures or other
instructions, the PICs promptly will communicate such changes to SDMS and the Town, and
SDMS will provide notice thereof to all PIF Obligors then listed on the PIF Obligor List. It is
the intent of the Parties hereto that all forms, reports and instructions will be substantially similar
in form to those used or required by the Town for remittance of Sales Taxes, Public
Accommodations Taxes and Real Estate Transfer Taxes, as applicable. SDMS will function as
the primary contact for PIF Obligors with respect to Information and other forms, procedures and
instructions pertinent to collection and remittance of Add-On PIF Revenues, and will coordinate
with the PICs and the Town with respect thereto.
2.6. Delinquency Notices to PIF Obligors.
(a) First Delinquency Notices. Not later than the 15th day following the
applicable Fee Remittance Date, SDMS will send a first delinquency notice by certified
mail to any PIF Obligor that: (i) fails to remit Add-On PIF Revenues during the
immediately preceding or any other prior Reporting Period; or (ii) SDMS has reasonably
determined based solely on information contained in the PIF Obligor’s Add-On PIF
Reporting Form, without obligation to investigate or independently verify the accuracy of
such information, to have remitted an incorrect amount for any prior Reporting Period.
In making any such delinquency determination, SDMS will coordinate with the Director
of Finance as reasonably necessary. Such delinquency notice will state that Delinquency
Costs (as defined in the Commercial Declaration or Mixed-Use Declaration, as
applicable) apply. SDMS will send copies of all first delinquency notices (together with
a report listing the name of each PIF Obligor to whom a first delinquency notice was
sent, the amount of such delinquency, and the period for which such PIF Obligors are
delinquent) to (i) the PICs; and (ii) until the occurrence of the Tax Credit Termination,
the Town with respect to only delinquent Add-On PIF Revenues that comprise any
portion of the Municipal Payments.
(b) Second Delinquency Notices. Not later than the 15th day following
SDMS’ issuance of the first delinquency notice as required by Section 2.6(a), SDMS will
send a second delinquency notice by certified mail to any PIF Obligor that has not paid
any delinquent amount of Add-On PIF Revenues as specified in the first delinquency
notice. SDMS will send copies of such second delinquency notices (together with a
report listing the name of each PIF Obligor to whom a second delinquency notice was
sent, the amount of such delinquency, and the period for which such PIF Obligors are
delinquent) to (i) the PICs; and (ii) until the occurrence of the Tax Credit Termination,
the Town with respect to only delinquent Add-On PIF Revenues that comprise any
portion of the Municipal Payments. SDMS will not be obligated to distribute additional
delinquency notices to any Add-On PIF Obligor after the second delinquency notice.
(c) Other Actions. In addition to the first and second delinquency notices
provided for in Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(b), SDMS will, upon receipt of a written request
therefor by, as applicable, the Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC or the Town (only to
the extent such Person was entitled to receive a copy of the delinquency notices described
Exhibit A
9
1305311.1
in Sections 2.6(b) and 2.6(c)), send a written notice to any PIF Obligor whom the
Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC or the Town, as applicable, believes has not fully
complied with its obligations under the Commercial Declaration or Mixed-Use
Declaration, as applicable, specifying the nature and extent of such PIF Obligor’s
non-compliance and requesting that such PIF Obligor immediately remedy such
non-compliance. The requesting Person will provide SDMS with information sufficient
to enable SDMS to prepare and send such notice, and SDMS will provide a copy of all
such notices to the PICs and the Town. In sending the notice required by this
Section 2.6(c), SDMS may rely upon the information furnished by the Person requesting
the notice without any obligation to investigate or independently verify such information.
Other than the obligation to send the notices provided for in Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(b)
and this Section 2.6(c), SDMS will have no obligation to undertake any enforcement
action of any nature.
2.7. Confidentiality of Add-On PIF Reporting Forms. Except to the extent
required to be included in any report or to be made available for review and audit as required or
permitted under the terms of this Agreement, SDMS will maintain in confidence all reports,
information or data concerning Taxable Transactions; Real Estate Transfers; the renting, letting
or provision of Accommodations/Lodging Rooms; or Add-On PIF Revenues received by SDMS
from PIF Obligors unless otherwise required to be made public by law. All such information
will be used only for purposes of collecting the Add-On PIF Revenues, enforcing PIF Obligors’
obligations under the Commercial Declaration and Mixed-Use Declaration, as applicable,
monitoring compliance with the provisions of the Commercial Declaration and Mixed-Use
Declaration, complying with SDMS’ reporting obligations under this Agreement to the PICs and
the Town or as otherwise may be authorized under the Commercial Declaration or Mixed-Use
Declaration.
2.8. Audits. Within 30 calendar days after the end of each calendar year, SDMS will
prepare and deliver to an auditor approved in writing by the PICs all materials necessary for
preparation of an audit of SDMS’ accounting of all Add-On PIF Revenues received and
disbursed in the immediately preceding calendar year, which audit procedures are generally
described in Exhibit D. SDMS will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
auditor to provide to SDMS an annual audited report setting forth the Add-On PIF Revenues
received and disbursed by SDMS for the preceding calendar year for delivery, within 90 calendar
days after the end of the preceding calendar year, to the PICs and the Town (until the occurrence
of the Tax Credit Termination and with respect to only Add-On PIF Revenues comprising any
portion of the Municipal Payments). In compiling the information to be provided for the audit,
SDMS may rely on information provided as required or permitted under this Agreement without
any further obligation to investigate or independently verify the accuracy of such information.
SDMS’ reasonable costs and expenses incurred in performing and delivering the annual audit,
which reimbursement amount is a Collection Expense, will be paid from Add-On PIF Revenues
(the Municipal Payments are net of Collection Expenses as provided in paragraph 33 of
Exhibit A). At reasonable times during regular business hours, (i) the PICs are hereby
authorized to audit, or cause audits to be conducted of, SDMS’ books and records with respect to
the collection and disbursement of Add-On PIF Revenues; and (ii) the Town is hereby authorized
to audit, or cause audits to be conducted of, SDMS’ books and records with respect to the
collection and disbursement of Add-On PIF Revenues generated from Taxable Transactions. If
Exhibit A
10
1305311.1
an independent audit uncovers any deficiency in SDMS’ performance of its obligations under
this Agreement, SDMS will promptly cure such deficiency and, to the extent such deficiency
consists of SDMS’ failure to disburse Add-On PIF Revenues to the Commercial PIC, the Mixed-
Use PIC and/or the Town, as applicable, due to the negligence or misconduct of SDMS, SDMS
will, within 10 days after notice from the Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town,
as applicable, deposit the full amount of such deficiency into the Asphalt Overlay Account,
Town Account and/or PIC Account, as applicable, together with interest thereon at a rate equal
to 2% above the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of discovery of such
deficiency and notice thereof to SDMS. The Party(ies) performing any such audit will bear the
full costs and expense of performing such audit. SDMS’ reasonable costs and expenses incurred
in connection therewith, which amount is a Collection Expense, will be paid from Add-On PIF
Revenues (the Municipal Payments are net of Collection Expenses as provided in paragraph 33
of Exhibit A); provided, however, that SDMS will be responsible for all costs and expenses of
any audit which discloses a material deficiency in SDMS’ performance of its obligations under
this Agreement to the extent such deficiency is due to the negligence or misconduct of SDMS.

Add-On PIF is a charge imposed pursuant to the Commercial Declaration and the Mixed-Use
Exhibit A
11
1305311.1
Declaration for the benefit of the Commercial PIC and the Mixed-Use PIC, respectively, and
other beneficiaries specified therein and not through the exercise of any power by the Town;

derived through this Agreement and is limited by and will be exercised only in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
3.3. Bankruptcy of Add-On RSF Obligors. If any Party receives actual notice in
writing with respect to any action in the bankruptcy of any PIF Obligor, such Party will, as soon
as practicable, give notice or convey copies of such notice which it received to the other Parties.
3.4. Limitation of SDMS Duties. The duties and responsibilities of SDMS are
limited to those expressly and specifically stated in this Agreement. SDMS will not be liable or
responsible for any loss resulting from any investment or reinvestment made pursuant to this
Agreement and made in compliance with the provisions hereof. SDMS will not be personally
liable or responsible for any act which it may do or omit to do hereunder, while acting with
commercially reasonable care, except for duties expressly imposed upon SDMS hereunder or as
otherwise expressly provided herein. SDMS will neither be under any obligation to inquire into
or be in any way responsible for the performance or nonperformance by the Commercial PIC, the
Mixed-Use PIC or the Town of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, the
Annexation and Development Agreement, the Commercial Declaration or the Mixed-Use
Declaration, nor will SDMS be responsible in any manner for the recitals, statements or
provisions contained in this Agreement, the Annexation and Development Agreement, the
Commercial Declaration or the Mixed-Use Declaration, or in any proceedings taken in
connection therewith, such recitals, statements and provisions being made solely by the
Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC and the Town, as applicable. Nothing in this Agreement
creates any obligation or liability on the part of SDMS to anyone other than the PICs, the Town
and TCMD.
3.5. Compensation. In consideration of SDMS’ performance of services under this
Agreement, SDMS will receive the Collection Expenses as determined by the Parties and
described in Exhibit E and elsewhere in this Agreement. The rates described in Exhibit E will be
subject to annual adjustment by the written mutual consent of the PICs and, until the occurrence
of the Tax Credit Termination, the Town, which adjustment will not require an amendment to
this Agreement. No new fee schedule will become effective until 30 days after SDMS has given
the PICs and, until the occurrence of the Tax Credit Termination, the Town, written notice
thereof. Except with respect to specific matters expressly addressed in other provisions of this
Agreement to the contrary, all Collection Expenses will be paid from Add-On PIF Revenues (the
Municipal Payments are net of Collection Expenses as provided in paragraph 33 of Exhibit A).
No later than the 20th day of each calendar month, SDMS will submit to the PICs and, until the
occurrence of the Tax Credit Termination, the Town, a billing statement of the total Collection
Expenses incurred by SDMS during the prior calendar month (each, a “Monthly Fee
Statement”), which will include a calculation of the portion of the Collection Expenses
attributable to (i) the collection of the Add-On PIF Revenues comprising the Municipal
Payments; and (ii) the portion of the Add-On PIF Revenues not comprising the Municipal
Exhibit A
12
1305311.1
Payments. Any general Collection Expenses that are not reasonably capable of being attributed
to either clause (i) or clause (ii) above (i.e., general collection and deposit of Add-On PIF
Revenues, production and distribution of Monthly Add-On PIF Reports, etc.) will be attributed to
clauses (i) and (ii) above prorata based on the amount of Add-On PIF Revenues comprising
clause (i) and comprising clause (ii) as a percentage of the total amount of Add-On PIF Revenues
collected. The PICs and, as applicable, the Town, will have 20 days from receipt of the
applicable Monthly Fee Statement to approve, reject or approve in part and reject in part the
Monthly Fee Statement in writing to SDMS. If the PICs and, as applicable, the Town, both fail
to provide such written notice to SDMS on or before the expiration of such 20-day period, the
Monthly Fee Statement will be deemed approved by both the PICs and, as applicable, the Town.
If the PICs and, as applicable, the Town, approve the applicable Monthly Fee Statement, SDMS
may deduct, and is hereby expressly authorized to deduct from Add-On PIF Revenues the
applicable Collection Expense as set forth in such approved Monthly Fee Statement. If the
Commercial PIC, Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town, as applicable, approve in whole or in part the
applicable Monthly Fee Statement, SDMS may deduct, and is hereby expressly authorized to
deduct from Add-On PIF Revenues the portion of the Collection Expenses set forth in such
Monthly Fee Statement approved by the PICs and, as applicable, the Town, if any. With respect
to resolution of any Collection Expenses rejected in whole or in part by the Commercial PIC,
Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town, the applicable Parties will proceed pursuant to Section 3.20.
Without limitation of the foregoing:
(a) The Town will be solely responsible for payment of SDMS’ Collection
Expenses for administration of the portion of the Add-On PIF Revenues comprising the
Municipal Payments pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) The PICs will be solely responsible for payment of SDMS’ Collection
Expenses for administration of the portion of the Add-On PIF Revenues not comprising
the Municipal Payments pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) The PICs will be solely responsible for payment of SDMS’ reasonable
costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred prior to execution of this
Agreement for negotiation of this Agreement and for activities in furtherance of entering
into this Agreement, such payment to be made within 30 days after receipt of SDMS’
invoice therefor.
3.6. Resignation; Removal.
(a) General. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Agreement, SDMS’ obligation to remit to the PICs and the Town any and all Add-On PIF
Revenues received by SDMS pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement will
survive any resignation or removal of SDMS pursuant to this Section 3.6 until all such
Add-On PIF Revenues have been remitted to the PICs or the Town, as applicable, or
control over such funds has been transferred to a successor Add-On PIF Collection
Agent. No resignation or removal of SDMS will take effect until a successor Add-On
PIF Collection Agent has been appointed by the PICs, with the consent of the Town;
provided, however, if no successor is appointed by the end of 90 days after delivery of
Exhibit A
13
1305311.1
written notice to SDMS of such removal, SDMS may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor.
(b) SDMS Resignation. SDMS may resign as the PICs’ and the Town’s
agent under this Agreement by submitting a written notice of resignation to the PICs and
the Town, given not less than 90 days before the date upon which such resignation is
intended to take effect. SDMS’ resignation will be effective on the resignation date set
forth in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the event the Commercial
PIC, Mixed-Use PIC and/or the Town have rejected Monthly Fee Statements in whole or
in part pursuant to Section 3.5, if SDMS’ Collection Expenses have not been paid for a
period of two consecutive months, SDMS may resign as the PICs’ and the Town’s agent
under this agreement by submitting a written notice of resignation to the PICs and the
Town, given not less than 30 days before the date upon which such resignation is
intended to take effect and SDMS’ resignation will be effective on the resignation date
set forth in such notice; provided, however, if the Commercial PIC, Mixed-Use PIC
and/or the Town cure such default within such 30-day period, SDMS’ written notice of
resignation will be deemed null and void and of no further force or effect.
(c) SDMS Removal. The PICs, with prior written consent of the Town prior
to occurrence of the Tax Credit Termination, may remove SDMS as the PICs’ and the
Town’s agent for collection of the Add-On PIF Revenues at any time with or without
cause. Any such removal action will be effective immediately upon delivery of written
notice by the PICs of such removal to SDMS unless the notice specifies a later removal
date.
3.7. Assignment; Binding Effect. Except for the collateral assignment of this
Agreement by the Commercial PIC and/or the Mixed-Use PIC to any secured lender of the
Commercial PIC or the Mixed-Use PIC, as applicable, which assignment will not require the
consent of any other Party, this Agreement will not be assigned by any Party for any reason other
than to a successor by operation of law or with the prior written consent of the other Parties.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon the Parties and their duly
authorized successors and assigns. Whenever in this Agreement the Commercial PIC, the
Mixed-Use PIC, the Town or SDMS is named or is referred to, such provision is deemed to
include any successor of the Commercial PIC, the Mixed-Use PIC, the Town or SDMS,
respectively, immediate or intermediate, whether so expressed or not. Any corporation or other
legal entity into which a Party may be merged or converted or with which a Party may be
consolidated or any corporation or other legal entity resulting from any merger, conversion, sale,
consolidation or transfer to which that Party may be a party or any corporation or other legal
entity to which a Party may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets will be the
successor to such Party without the execution or filing of any document or any further act,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. All of the stipulations, obligations, and

a reduction of 0.25% in the rate of the Add-On PIF on Taxable Transactions (i.e., the revenue

Monthly Add-On PIF Reports relating to the renting, letting or provision of
Accommodations/Lodging Rooms or relating to Real Estate Transfers).

Taxable Transactions is 0.75%. The net proceeds, after adjustment for (deduction of) the
Collection Expenses related or attributable to such portion of the Add-On PIF Revenues and

forth in the Annexation and Development Agreement, of the Add-On RSFPIF Revenues resulting
from imposition of the 0.75% rate to Add-On RSF Retail Activities transactionsTaxable
Transactions occurring within the Property will constitute the Municipal Payments. If the Town
increases the Sales Tax rate on Add-On RSF Retail Activities transactions above 4.0% during any
period for which Municipal Payments are to be remitted to the Town, the portion of the Add-On
RSFPIF Revenues which will be construed to be Municipal Payments will be reduced in the
same degree as any Sales Tax rate on Add-On RSF Retail Activities transactions increase above
4.0%. For example, if the Town increases its Sales Tax rate on Add-On RSF Retail Activities
transactions by 0.25% (from 4.0% to 4.25%), the portion of the Add-On RSFPIF Revenues
construed to be Municipal Payments will be that amount equivalent to a reduction of 0.25% in
the rate of the Add-On Retail Sales FeePIF on Taxable Transactions (i.e., the revenue realized
from a rate of 0.50% rather than the revenue realized from a rate of 0.75%).

RECREATIONAL TRAILS ADVISORY GROUP FORMATION – WORK SESSION
PAGE 1 OF 1
TOWN COUNCIL REPORT
To: Honorable Mayor and Avon Town Council
From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager
Date: July 3, 2014
Agenda Topic: Review of Recommended Process for Trails Committee Solicitation and Appointment
Summary
During Open Houses, which were held in May for the proposed trails on the West Avon Preserve, it
was discussed that a formal trails’ advisory committee could be formed. This trails advisory committee
is found in the Town of Avon Recreational Trails Master Plan (2009). The Town of Avon Recreational
Trails Master Plan, or “Trails Master Plan,” is an advisory document that is a sub-plan of the Avon
Comprehensive Plan. It recommends the formation of a Recreational Trails Advisory Group to “direct
trail planning, design, construction, and maintenance.” The Trails Plan goes on to recommend the
make-up of the Advisory Group and their general functions. An excerpt from the Trails Master Plan is
attached hereto (Attachment A).
This Memorandum summarizes Town staff’s recommended process for solicitation and Council
appointment of a Recreational Trails Advisory Group.
Recommendations
1. July 15th – Council reviews and affirms the need for the Recreational Trails Advisory Group,
number (5) and duties as described in the Trails Master Plan and sets August 12th as the date
to take action on a resolution establishing the Recreational Trails Advisory Group. Two-
year staggered terms are recommended.
2. Town Staff solicits through the Vail Daily newspaper a five (5) member, volunteer
Recreational Trails Advisory Group composed of the following:
a. One (1) full-time resident of the Wildridge Community
b. One (1) full-time resident of the Mountain Star Community
c. One (1) full-time resident of the Singletree Community
d. Two (2) full-time residents from the Town of Avon
3. Interested applicants should provide a letter of interest and statement of residency by not
later than August 5th, 5:00 p.m.
4. Town Council interviews applicants at its August 12th meeting; appointing the top three
applicants to two-year terms; and two applicants to one-year terms. Thereafter, all
Recreational Trails Advisory Group members will be appointed to a two-year term.
5. Recreational Trails Advisory Group, assisted by Community Development staff, begin
meeting and develop work plan to carry out duties.

Vision Statement
The vision guiding the Town of Avon’s Recreational Trails Master Plan was developed from input
provided through public consultations held in August 2006 and August 2008. At a general level, the
vision expresses what people agree needs to be protected or retained and what may be accomplished. The vision for the Town of Avon is fundamentally one of sustainability – of respecting natural systems and
managing uses of the trails in ways that enhance the resident and guest experiences and protect the ability
of future generations to enjoy this wonderful endowment.
By adopting an approach that protects the local ecology while providing recreational, social and health
benefits, the local trail system can become a model of sustainable recreational trails management. At the heart of achieving this vision is a commitment to balancing environmental protection with recreational
uses and activity. This commitment will be shared by all who are responsible for this asset – individuals
using the area, partnering government agencies, surrounding private land owners, and other stakeholders. Common, sustainable strategies should emphasize awareness, education, safety and stewardship.
Management approaches will be shaped by a desire to minimize negative impacts on the environment and
local residents, while maximizing opportunities for positive outcomes such as community partnerships, education, habitat protection, or other opportunities.
The Town has a collaborative and systematic vision for implementing this new Recreational Trails Program. An Avon Recreational Trails Advisory Group should be formed to direct trail planning, design,
construction, and maintenance. This Group should consist of five members, with at least one full-time resident from Wildridge and one from Mountain Star participating. Participants who are not on Town staff should be nominated or self-volunteered and be confirmed by the Planning and Zoning Commission
or the Town Council. The Trails Advisory Group will have the key responsibility to develop and manage a volunteer program for trail construction and maintenance. The Trails Advisory Group will also be
responsible for updating this Recreational Trails Master Plan periodically (e.g. every 2-3 years) and
presenting the update to Town leadership for formal adoption. Town staff will lead project implementation activities (including development of mapping and design details, review of deliverables
from consultants, annual budget planning, bidding and assignment of trail construction contracts), public
relations, and communications with outside stakeholders (e.g. USDA Forest Service, Singletree HOA, Eagle County).
Statement of Principles
The principles listed below were developed in conjunction with the vision statement, with input provided from Town of Avon staff and through the public consultation process. The principles express the range of
basic concepts which are crucial to the development of a successful recreational trails management
program and the realization of the vision.
1. Sustainable Planning Framework
The mountain environment is important asset requiring careful management to preserve and sustain it for future generations. This requires a framework that supports a harmonious balance between long-term
social, economic, and environmental values. Balancing the biophysical and physical capacity of the area
to accommodate recreational use is a key consideration.
2. Public Health, Safety and Risk Management
To enhance the healthy outdoor lifestyles found on the western slope, users require a challenging, yet safe and maintained outdoor mountain recreational trail system within a risk management framework that
includes standards and regulations for trail use. Risks of use should be clearly communicated to trail
