Vail Town Council to take final action on Conference Center Fund ballot question
The Vail Town Council will take final action in setting a November ballot question for reallocation of the Conference Center Fund at its regular evening meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 16. The item, Resolution No. 12, is second on the agenda and public comments will be taken. The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the Vail Town Council Chambers, 75 S. Frontage Rd.
Tuesday's discussion follows an earlier review of the proposed ballot question on Aug. 2 in which the council made a slight modification. The revised wording for the Nov. 8 ballot question is as follows:
Ballot Question No. 1
Without increasing taxes, shall the Town of Vail use the remainder of the one and one-half percent lodging tax revenues and one-half percent sales tax revenues collected from January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2005 to fund the following projects that will promote recreation, promote tourism and support the economy in the Town of Vail:
Expansion and improvement of the clubhouse at the Vail Golf Course and Nordic Center, including multi-use community space;
Field expansion and restroom renovation at the Ford Park Sports Complex; and
Ford Amphitheater improvements, including outdoor seating and restroom improvements?
Yes ______ No ______
Key findings from a telephone survey in July found that a solid majority of Vail voters who took part in the survey are supportive of using the already collected tax dollars for the three improvements identified in the proposed ballot question. Specifically, 67 percent indicated they would vote “yes” in support of a ballot measure, while 27 percent said they would vote “no.” The margin of error is plus-or-minus eight percent. The survey findings are available in their entirety on the town's website.
