Ticer, Chief of Police Date: November 11, 2014 Agenda Topic: Saved by the Belt Presentation to Mr. Brent Stone It is my honor and privilege to present Mr. Brent Stone with the Avon Police Department Saved by the Belt Award for surviving a significant car crash that he was involved in on September 4, 2014 on Interstate 70 in the Town limits of Avon. The Saved by the Belt Program is designed to recognize survivors of car crashes who are not at fault and their injuries are significantly reduced as a result of properly wearing their safety belt. On the date of the crash, Mr. Stone was driving westbound on Interstate 70 when a westbound delivery box truck decelerated rapidly before turning illegally into a median turn-around causing Mr. Stone’s vehicle to strike the heavy metal lift gate of the truck. This collision caused significant damage to the front of Mr. Stone’s vehicle and to the driver’s side A post/door, and windshield. Mr. Stone told investigating officer Tyler Churches at the scene that he may have been killed if he were not properly buckled up. Investigating officers reached the same conclusion. Mr. Stone walked away from this collision that day after being treated and released at the scene for minor injuries. On behalf of the Avon Police Department we thank Mr. Stone for properly buckling up, as his decision resulted in significantly lesser injuries in this vehicle crash. Attachments: PowerPoint Presentation Respectfully Submitted, Robert L. Ticer Chief of Police Brent Stone  AVON POLICE DEPARTMENT Saved by the Belt On September 4, 2014, I investigated a motor vehicle accident that occurred on Interstate 70 westbound at MM 166. Brent Stone was traveling in the right lane when a delivery box truck that was traveling in front of him attempted to turn into an emergency turnaround from the right lane. Brent made contact with a metal lift gate. The lift gate caused extreme damage to the driver side of Brent’s vehicle. Brent’s vehicle deployed both airbags. Brent was wearing his seat belt. Brent made a comment that without his seatbelt he probably would have received severe injuries. Brent had only minor scrapes as a result of him wearing his seatbelt. After the investigation it was determined that Brent was not at fault for the accident. Brent was traveling at the posted speed limit and he was in the appropriate lane of travel when not passing. I would like to nominate Brent Stone for the Saved by the Belt Award  Saved by the Belt  Saved by the Belt  Saved by the Belt  Saved by the Belt  Saved by the Belt  Saved by the Belt TOWN COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Mayor Rich Carroll and Town Council From: Robert L. Ticer, Chief of Police Date: November 11, 2014 Agenda Topic: Intergovernmental Agreement for Eagle County Animal Control Services (Renewal) Summary: The Avon Police Department is recommending approval of the attached IGA to allow Eagle County Animal Control Services to continue to serve the Town of Avon. Previous Council Action: The Avon Town Council previously approved an IGA with Animal Control Services for Calendar Year 2014. This renewal IGA is for Calendar Year 2015, and has no substantive changes from the current and existing contract. Background: The Avon Police Department does not employ an Animal Control Officer or maintain facilities to manage the intake or safekeeping of domestic animals. This IGA will continue to allow Eagle County Animal Control Services to serve the Town of Avon and provide the following: • Twenty-four hours per day emergency on call service. • Animal shelter service. • Investigation and reporting of animal bite incidents. • Enforcement of the leash law by citing violators into the Municipal Court. • Response to calls from the Police Department or from citizens. The following activity has been recorded by the Eagle County Animal Control in the Town Limits of Avon: 2013 23 Bites to persons 73 Field Enforcements (total animal related calls for service) 2 Seizures, (owners in custody) 54 Stray or At-large cases 1 Animal Surrenders 8 Cruelty/Neglect Investigation 2014 through September 7 Bites to persons 63 Field Enforcements 2 Seizures, (owners in custody) 40 Strays or At-large cases 2 Animal Surrenders 4 Cruelty/Neglect investigation Discussion: Eagle County Animal Control Services will respond to calls; however, they do not provide routine patrol in Avon. Due to budget savings plans in 2011, the Avon Police Department eliminated the Police Service Officer (PSO) position. A portion of the PSO duties included enforcement of the leash law ordinance. Due to the staffing reduction, pro-active patrol for animal ordinance violations is conducted by Avon Police Officers. This Agreement is effective January 1, 2015, and shall end on the 31st day of December 2015. The Agreement shall run yearly from January 1, to December 31, each year, with a review by each party in August of that year. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with or without cause at any time by giving the other party thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination. Obligations of the Town and the County, respectively, after the current fiscal year, are contingent upon funds for the purpose set forth in this Agreement being appropriated, budgeted and otherwise made available. Financial Implications: The contract is $800.00 per month under this IGA, which has been budgeted for in the 2015 Police Department Budget. Additionally, the County shall bill the Town for On-Call Emergency Services at the rate of $50.00 per hour in the case of a call-out after hours. Staff Recommendation: It is recommended that the attached IGA with Eagle County for Animal Control Services be approved. Alternatives: If the IGA is not approved, the Avon Police Department will be required to provide animal control service to the community, which may reduce patrol coverage and law enforcement response times to active law enforcement incidents. Recommended Motion: “I move to approve the renewal of the Eagle County Animal Control Services IGA for Calendar Year 2015.” Town Manager Comments: Attachments: 2015 Eagle County Animal Control IGA with the Town of Avon INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF EAGLE, STATE OF COLORADO AND THE TOWN OF AVON This Agreement made this ______ day of __________________, 2014 by and between the County of Eagle, State of Colorado, a body corporate and politic (the "County") and the Town of Avon, a municipal corporation (the "Town").

Egger, Town Manager Date: November 11, 2014 Agenda Topic: Grand Opening of Possibility Plaza, the Main Street Mall & Après Avon Inaugural Event BACKGROUND All improvements to Avon Road, including the construction of the Roundabout 4 AWSC element, new street lights and pedestrian crossing signalization will be completed later this month, with the Main Street Mall and Possibility Plaza finishing up this week. Mayor Pro tem Jennie Fancher raised the idea to have a grand opening to commemorate the improvements and celebrate the official opening of the public space.

Bringing the grand opening, World Cup weekend and Après Avon concepts together has led to the development of an event concept for December 5th at Possibility Plaza. EVENT CONCEPT The December 5th event, titled for now Après Avon, A Grand Opening, includes: • Live music, food, alcohol, nonalcoholic drinks, performance art and free hot chocolate (while supplies last) from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. • A best effort will be made to create Avon’s first evening winter market with local businesses during the event. The event will be on a smaller scale than any of the planned Après Avon afternoons, but with similar elements of Après Avon planned during the 2015 AWSC. The rationale is to celebrate the opening of the plaza and mall while giving a test run of the larger production planned for February 2015. Town Manager Virginia Egger has negotiated a Professional Services Agreement with Scotty Stoughton, producer of Après Avon, to produce the one day event on Friday, December 5, subject to Council concept and funding approval. EVENT BUDGET Costs estimates for the event include deposits for talent, hotel, lodging, equipment and other related expenses, including stage rental, heat, electricity, etc., for a total budget of $18,600. The table below summarizes the estimated expenditures. Of importance is the budget for higher tier band and guest performer for the event, which adds about $3,000 to the cost of the musicians, and associated expenses. Bringing better music to the event is recommended to provide a remarkable evening with greater attendance than could be expected from a more known local band.  Page 2 Grand Opening of Possibility Plaza, the Main Street Mall & Après Avon Inaugural Event Funding is available from 2014 unexpended line items, including Icing on Park, an event which does not attract a large enough gathering to be cost effective. The Town is working closely with the Vail Valley Foundation, producers of the Birds of Prey World Cup, to find opportunities to cross promote the event. BUDGET GRAND OPENING OF THE MALL & APRÈS AVON Hotel for Musicians $600 Airline Fee/Ground Transportation for musical guest $900 Talent - Band $3,500 Site Ops - Prepay on services and infrastructure $6,300 Production expenses – backline, stage, etc. $2,100 Marketing $1,000 Creative $500 Performance Art $2,000 Subtotal $16,900 Contingency funds – unforeseen event related expenses $1,700 Producer Request $18,600 Staff Funding Recommendation - Staff has reviewed the concept, production budget, and talent proposal and recommends approval, with the proposed budget being adequate and appropriate for the caliber of the event. Council Action – If Council would like to move forward with the event, a recommended motion is: “I approve the Grand Opening of Possibility Plaza, the Main Street Mall & Après Avon Inaugural Event concept, title, date and funding”. ORDINANCE 14-19, TITLE 6, ANIMALS, & CHAPTER 9.40, PUBLIC PARKS, AMC – LEASH LAWS ON WEST AVON PRESERVE PAGE 1 OF 2 TOWN COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Avon Town Council From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager Date: October 20, 2014 Agenda Topic: PUBLIC HEARING: 2nd Reading of Ordinance 14-19, an Ordinance Amending Title 6, Animals, AMC & Chapter 9.40, Public Parks, AMC Regulations affecting Leash Laws on the West Avon Preserve Summary Attached to this report is Ordinance 14-19, an Ordinance amending Title 6, Animals, Avon Municipal Code (“AMC”), and Chapter 9.40, Public Parks, AMC. First and foremost, this Ordinance provides added flexibility to pet owners who use the West Avon Preserve (“the Preserve”) who wish to walk pets off leash. Currently, all animals in the Town of Avon must be leashed at all times. This code change stems from the recent acquisition of the Preserve and the enforcement duties assigned to the Town through a Conservation Easement and Town Code. Through the process of public open houses for new trail discussion, and discussing the content of signage for the Preserve with residents and trail users, the topic of walking dogs came to light. Council will consider 2nd Reading and Public Hearing Ordinance 14-19 at the November 11th, 2014 meeting. Context The Preserve is a 478 acre property that was acquired in May, 2013, with significant conservation values. The Preserve serves as wildlife habitat and scenic open space, with recently renowned recreational values that are realized by significant trail construction in 2014. Residents have historically used the Preserve for the casual enjoyment of walking pets to “Beaver Creek Point” and some of the other social trails. Since the Preserve was acquired in 2013 and technically subject to all aspects of the AMC, including Title 6, Animals, no changes to the enforcement of pets off leash has resulted. Ordinance 14-19 would allow pets off leash, under voice control. Additionally, authority would be granted to the Town Manager to provide additional management discretion (i.e. seasonal closures) to help protect the conservation values. Ordinance Highlights • Pets would be allowed off-leash on West Avon Preserve, including trails on adjacent open space tracts (i.e. portions of Tract P) part of the WIldridge Subdivision. • Pets must be under voice control, as defined, and owners must carry leashes. o If dog causes injury, damage or trespass then dog is not under voice control and in violation of code. • Changes to Chapter 9.40, Public Parks, have been incorporated since first reading to reinforce Town Manager authority for managing trail closures and animal control for all open space as well as parks. • Park definition added so that Town Manager authority applies to open space as well as parks (i.e. drones, camping, fires, etc).

ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: __________________________ ____________________________ Debbie Hoppe, Town Clerk Eric Heil, Town Attorney TOWN COUNCIL REPORT To: Honorable Mayor and Town Council From: Matt Pielsticker, AICP, Planning Manager Date: November 5, 2014 Re: Revocable Encroachment License for Private Improvements on Public Property located on Lot 65-A, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Summary Before Council for action is a revocable License Agreement for a private sign on public property located adjacent to the commercial building located at 182 Avon Road. The sign was installed without permits or approval at or about August 15, 2014. The sign is located next to the Christy Sports tenant space on Lot 65-A, Block 2, Benchmark at Beaver Creek Subdivision. Lot 65-A is a triangle parcel which encompasses an the area between Christy Sports and the Annex Building to the north. This property contains on-street parking, the roadway connecting Avon Road to Chapel Square, as well as private parking for the Annex property. PZC Design Approval The Planning and Zoning Commission (“PZC”) approved a design application for signs at the Christ y Sports property, now known as “The Crossing,” at their September 23rd meeting. The design approval included the subject freestanding monument sign (see attached design), which includes tenant panels and building identification component. PZC’s approval was conditional based on the following: Finding - Monument sign design conforms to review criteria #1, The suitability of the improvement, including materials with which the sign is to be constructed and the site upon which it is to be located; the monument sign is found to be suitable on Lot 65-A (public property), and is the appropriate location as it creates uniformity amongst other freestanding signs in the vicinity. Condition - The monument sign is located on Town of Avon property (Lot 65-A). This approval is for design only; final approval must be obtained from the Avon Town Council, or sign must be relocated to location within Lot 21 and approved by Staff. The PZC discussed the unique nature of The Crossing building, sitting almost flush with the Lot 65-A property line. There was discussion about the lack of other suitable locations for such sign type, and PZC ultimately approved the location based on the fact that tenants further from the property line have scarce visibility and the sign orientation and location was consistent with other recent approvals in the area. Public Parking Lot Council recently approved an Ordinance and License Agreement for the construction of public parking and landscaping on the adjacent Avon Road Right-of-Way property. This particular License Agreement requires that the parking be accessible and open to the parking by the general public without charge and signed accordingly. The parking was not been constructed this year due to time constraints, however, the agreement allows for the parking lot to be built before November 15, 2015. Construction of the parking is expected next year.  Page 2 It is staff’s recommendation to require that a sign panel reading “Public Parking” be added to the monument sign as a condition to the attached draft License Agreement when the parking lot is constructed, providing a a direct, tangible, public purpose for the commercial sign in Town right-of-way. Available Actions • Approve License Agreement as drafted. • Approve modified License Agreement. • Continue action on License Agreement to future meeting.

Heil, Town Attorney RE: Ordinance No. 14-18 Approving Acquisition of Tract S DATE: November 6, 2014 Summary: Ordinance No. 14-18 is presented to Council for consideration for second and final reading. Ordinance No. 14-18 would authorize the acquisition of Tract S from the Twin Bears Townhomes Common Area. During the construction of the recreational trails on the West Avon Preserve, the preferred alignment of one trail encroached slightly on the Twin Bears Townhomes common area. Town has worked closely with the Twin Bears Townhomes owners to address this trail encroachment. Tract S is .015 acres, or 652 square feet. The consideration for the acquisition would be $8,000 ($12.2 per square foot), which Town staff believes is a reasonable and market based price considering the circumstances. Acquisition of a fee simple interest by the Town was determined to be preferred over a license agreement or permanent easement because the Town’s liability and maintenance responsibility for the trail would be more clear and would be consistent with Town property management as a Town property. A formal purchase agreement has not been prepared due to the small amount of property involved and modest amount of consideration proposed. Town staff has negotiated the acquisition price and agreed to pay the costs of preparing a subdivision plat to create Tract S for conveyance. Approval of the subdivision plat to create Tract S would be administrative and would be finalized only after Council approves Ordinance 14-18 on second and final reading.

In 2006 a separate fund was established for the Community Enhancement monies. A transfer from the General Fund in the amount of $235,309 was made to establish the new Community Enhancement Fund. Because of an oversight, the amount transferred was $2,000 more than the actual amounts received from 2001 -2005. 2) In 2007, the Town budgeted $60,000 for purchasing wind power. It was subsequently learned that the use of Community Enhancement funds was not allowed for this purpose. Subsequently, $26,252 was used for an energy audit of the Town's facilities. 3) The Nottingham Park Pavilion project for which Community Enhancment funds were approved in the amount of $200,000, was subsequently removed from the Town's long-range CIP program due to the cost of the project and lack of Town funds available. A total of $40,000 in Community Enhancement funds was used for the design cost, with the remained turned back as unused.

From the direction provided at that meeting, you will find an updated process below as a recommendation for the next Council to consider. As was stated by Virginia Egger at the October 14 meeting, Avon Town staff has successfully managed numerous and varied construction projects to a successful conclusion; on time and on budget. The new Town Hall or Skier Building is high profile and an important project to the continued revitalization and vibrancy of Avon. Combined with the lessons learned from the Nottingham Pavilion project, the following outline is presented for the new Council to review and consider: Step 1: Rough Programming and Design - general thinking and ideas can be provided by a combination of: - Town Staff - Council - Public Conceptual ideas on are given for what is on Ground Floor, Second Floor, Third Floor. Work Sessions could be conducted with Council to review concepts and give input. Does it make sense to identify the full range of desired functionality, and then hire a designer to begin with comprehensive direction of desired functionality? Topics such as meeting rooms, public restrooms, the Main St. Mall, kitchen facilities, public spaces, security, etc. will be reviewed. Step 2: Develop an RFQ, then an RFP. Or do just an RFP. The purpose of the RFQ and/or RFP will be for Architect/Interior Designer/Contractor/Cost Estimator/Value Engineering services. The Cost Estimator and Value Engineering contractor will contract directly with Avon. Based on the previous Council discussion, it is believed that an architect is needed. It is crucial the RFP accurately describe the skill set(s) needed and provide a method for evaluation. The RFP should include the following: - References and a track record of bringing projects in on budget and on time - The proper level of collaborative performance - Skill in listening and designing to fit the requirements and budget - Price estimation so the designs stay within budget - Experience with successful government projects - Other Step 3: Conduct RFP - Council to review, provide input, approve the appropriate RFPs, interview and select Architect/Designer/Price Estimator. Step 4: Complete designs along with interior furnishing specifications - Council to review and approve. Step 5: Solicit bids: Council to review and approve bids. Council to award contract and approve contract with a Guaranteed Maximum Price. The interior finish will be within budget. Step 6: Construction of Interior Finish: Change Orders over a certain dollar threshold require Council approval [Few if any Change Orders should be required]. The level of Council involvement described above is outside the norm. While more Council involvement may make for a project that is paced differently, i.e. slower; there is value given the high profile nature of the new Town Hall.
