CALL TO ACTION
Extremely Important Town Council Public Hearing.
6 pm, Tuesday, August 3, 2021
The
TOV Town Council has resumed in-person meetings.
This is an important public hearing concerning the potential
overturning by the Town Council of a rejection by the Design Review
Board of the architectural character of the Town of Vail’s proposed
Residence at Main Vail. The DRB says that the design of the project
does not present an image compatible with the main tourism access to
the Vail Town Center.
In-person appearance at the Town Council meeting is an important
statement of your concern about how the Town of Vail is conducting
its resident housing program in a manner that is undermining the
design standards of the community. Double standards for Town owned
projects are a threat to the aesthetic principles embraced and
highly valued by the community.
VHA Letter to Town of Vail Town Council.
Send letters of concern to the
Vail Town Council

CALL TO ACTION
Extremely Important Town Council Public Hearings,
July 21 & August 4
On these dates there will be
important public hearings concerning protection of the bighorn sheep
and preservation of TOV open space. Both meetings will begin at 6
p.m. and while COVID-19 rules will be in place, you will be able to
appear before the Council and make your views and opinions known.
This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT because the Council does respond to
public input.
VHA Editor’s Note - 07/16/20.
Based on the record as it existed at the time, we incorrectly
identified the Vail Local Housing Authority as the proponent of the
Alternative Housing Sites Initiative. Since then we have learned
that the Initiative is the work product of the Town Council. That
was not apparent earlier since the Town Council’s work was done in
executive session.

______________________________
Robert W. Galvin
1922 - 2011
It is
with great regret that the Vail Homeowners Association informs our
membership and the Vail community on the passing of our founding
President, Robert W. Galvin.
Bob Galvin was
responsible for the founding of the Vail Homeowners Association in
1991. He served as its President for its first decade.
His legacy can be seen in
the emergence of the Vail Renaissance, which his extraordinary
vision of Vail’s future helped inspire and nurture. Bob dearly
loved the Vail community, its wonderful mountain and the people who
collaborate to make it what it has and will become.
Our heart felt
condolences to his wife Mary and family.
