ITEM/TOPIC:   November 2020 Ballot Initiative Polling Discussion – Long-Term Funding for Housing and Similar Efforts in Support of Economic Recovery

PRESENTER(S):   George Ruther, Housing Director, David Flaherty, Magellan Strategies, Scott Robson, Town Manager

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:   Provide direction on whether to pursue a second community polling survey on long-term funding for housing and/or similar efforts in support of Vail's  economic recovery 

BACKGROUND:   Prior to the onset of the Covid-19 global pandemic the Vail Town Council and the Vail Local Housing Authority had been collaborating and discussing the pursuit of a long-term source of funding for housing in the Vail community.  Given the onset of the pandemic circumstances have changed and it is appropriate to revisit this topic at this time.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:  

The town staff recommends the Vail Town Council provide answers to the following questions:

 

Should the town staff continue forward with a second community polling survey on the topic of establishing a dedicated, long-term source of funding for deed-restricted housing programs and developments in Vail, and should the polling include questions about broader additional economic stimulus initiatives aimed at financially supporting Vail’s economic recovery.
