PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE: Banker, teacher, coach, umpire, referee, ran city softball,

adult baseball leagues for 3 years in Laramie, WY., retail

APPLICABLE COMMUNITY ACTIVITIESA/OLUNTEER WORK:

I was a park and rec employee for 5 years in Laramie, WY. In addition to softball, I also managed

the youth and adult basketball programs. I also coordinated and ran weekend softball

tournaments for the city and for Triple Crown.

2.5

SPECIAL QUALIFICATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE BOARD/COMMISSION:

I'm passionate about recreation and participation by all ages. In addition to softball and

basketball, I'm also an avid mountain biker, skier, (all types of skiing) and whitewater kayaker. I'm

at the point in life where I want to give back and make it possible for others to be healthy and

active. Steamboat opportunities are amazing and I am looking forward to not only being involved

in my new community, but also to being a volunteer and a part of the planning.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE Parks and Rec Board(Board or commission applying for)

Volunteerism is important to me and to my employer, and this opportunity is right up my alley.

With my vast sports and recreational background, and perhaps a bit of a different perception

being new to town, I think I can bring a lot of enthusiasm and ideas to the commission.

2.6


Funding; opportunities for participation for all ages, focusing on youth; and sustainability

OTHER COMMENTS: I would be a good candidate for this position based on my past

experience, love of sports and outdoor recreation, and a passion for

worked for the Yampa Valley Bank since 2009. My husband and I have

spent a lot of recreational time in Steamboat, going back to the 1960s.

I'm very happy and proud to now call this beautiful valley my home.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A RESIDENT OF STEAMBOAT SPRINGS?_21 months

CURRENT OCCUPATION/EMPLOYER: Retired US Air Force officer

PREVIOUS WORK EXPERIENCE:I was commissioned as a 2d Lieutenant in 1990 and worked as a Space Operations officer in a

variety of locations, including remote overseas stations. I retired from the Air Force in 2010 after

completing a 2-year tour as a deputy group commander in Colorado Springs following a squadron

command assignment where we brought a new space-based sensor system to full operation.

APPLICABLE COWHVIUNITY ACTIVITIES/VOLUNTEERWORK:

i am currently the newest officer on the board of the Longview Park Owners association, as a

member-at-large. My husband and I are active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter

Day Saints (LDS), and 1 am part of the presidency for the Young Women's organization in our

church, mentoring girls ages 12 to 18 in spiritual development and preparation for their adult

lives. I wil! be supervising them during Girl's Camp in June, when we combine with Young

Women's organizations from alt of Northwest Colorado for a week of outdoors education and

worship. I also served as the Secretary for the Relief Society in the local LDS community, prior

to being asked to assist with the young women. The Relief Society includes all adult women in

the church, and organizes social events, gospel education, individual outreach, and community

service.

2.8


I realize any public endeavor requires balancing the available resources against existing

maintenance requirements and desired improvements, just as my Air Force career required me to

balance mission needs against the personnel and equipment t was given to accomplish that

mission. Especially when fielding new equipment and developing training programs, I was forced

to make tough decisions about which items were vital and which were merely "nice to have". I

have also lived in a number of locations with various levels of recreation services and which

approached community needs with different views, from Alaska to Hawaii and California to

Florida, as well as Australia. I feel my wide ranging experiences will provide a broader

perspective when assessing our options and possible solutions.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE Parks & Recreation CommissiSn(Board or commission applying for)

My husband and I moved to Steamboat Springs in August 2013 after he completed graduate

school and are glad to be back in Colorado! I grew up in Divide, attended the US Air Force

Academy and was able to spend almost half my military career in Colorado. We love the

outdoors and came to Steamboat for the great recreation and sports available year round. 1 want

to be part of where we live, and contribute to the community by representing the residents of

Steamboat Springs and deciding how to best meet their needs and desires, in cooperation with

the Parks and Recreation staff. I was raised in a ruraf area of central Colorado and could only

have dreamed of everything available to us here! We are very impressed by the wide variety of

services and amenities available in Steamboat Springs, and I want to help ensure that the city is

able to continue providing quality recreation for all community members.

2.9


1. How to sustain the existing amenities and programs at the current level of excellence, in the

face of reduced funding and increasing demand. 1 think many families have changed their

spending habits as their incomes have been affected, and turned towards city programs for

recreation and entertainment to reduce their own costs. This increases the load on city facilities

and programs, and requires us to assess which items are the most beneficial to the largest

number of users.

2. Planning for future facilities and programs based on the expressed desires of users and

residents, possibly through cutting back on areas which may be historically important but

becoming less relevant as tastes and activities evolve. The development of Yampa Street may

add to the Parks workload significantly and wilt need careful planning and implementation.

3. Determining what the core mission is of Parks and Recreation and ensuring the staff is

structured and funded to accomplish that core mission. This may mean moving some efforts to

other departments which are more appropriate, even if traditionally accomplished by Parks

personnel.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ON THE PARKS AND RECREATIONCOMMISSION?

I am passionate about our Park systems. I feel our community parks add a greatdeal to our community and need to be protected and maintained for theenjoyment of the citizens

BRIEFLY, WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE ARE THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUESFACING THE STEAMBOAT SPRINGS COMMUNITY AT THIS TIME, AND HOW DOYOU BELIEVE THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMIVHSSION CAN PLAY A ROLEIN ADDRESSING EACH ISSUE?

Maintenance of infrastructure: The Parks and Recreation commission makesrecommendations to the city. Currently parks need more money directed atmaintaining parks we own before acquiring additional properties.

Reduction in bus service, and lack of sidewalks in downtown neighborhoods andconnecting trails. Improved bus service/ additional sidewalks/ trails wouldimprove and promote our community as pedestrian friendly and reduce trafficcongestion. Parks and Rec can recommend priority areas for trails and sidewalkconnections to improve pedestrian use.

Lack of affordable housing and childcare to keep our community economicallydiverse and keep young families within the city : the city can continue to offerafter school and summer recreation programs, assessing the cost to keep itaffordable and possible subsidizing low income families.

OTHER COMMENTS:

I want to live in Steamboat for many years to come. Steamboat is a gemthat I'm fortunate to have been transferred too. It's not surprising that somany people move from elsewhere to live in Steamboat. I'm lookingforward to friends and family coming to visit to see how great it really is.

Many friends of mine from South Florida don't know whereSteamboat Springs is. They know where Vail, Aspen and Breckenridge are.But I constantly have to describe where Steamboat is. And maybe that's bydesign and it's something I will learn about. Its probably the reason why Ilike Steamboat so much.. its not those ptaces!

Growing up in a hospitality family in Fort Lauderdale FL. I think I'velearned about what it takes for a city to plan for successful comprehensivegrowth in tourism while keeping its cultural sense.

It's exciting to live in a city that really is special. I'm looking forwardto growing with it and being more a part of this great community.

AGENDA ITEM #4.


FROM: Stuart King, Community Development Engineer

THROUGH: Chuck Anderson, Public Works Director Tyler Gibbs, Director of Planning & Community Development DATE: June 2, 2015

ITEM: Information: School Master Plan ___ DIRECTION _X_ INFORMATION ___ ORDINANCE ___ MOTION ___ RESOLUTION

I. REQUEST/ISSUE & BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The purpose of this report is to brief city council regarding the Steamboat Springs School Board update of the School Facilities Master Plan as presented to the City Technical Advisory Committee on May 26, 2015. Background The Steamboat Springs School District is in the process of updating the School Facilities Master Plan, with the objective of identifying the best long term solution for the community. The School District has engaged Jeff Chamberlin with the firm RLH to lead the process and act as owners representative. The Facilities Master Plan is a strategic plan which incorporates four major considerations:

Demographics- enrollment growth

Facility condition capital renewal

4.1

Educational programming- shift toward STEM / STEAM (Science,

Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), small group and project based

learning

Cost/Affordability

The process identified four options each with a different impact on educational programming objectives. Each option includes new construction and/or various upgrades to existing school buildings as well as options for future use and/or disposal of existing facilities. There have been several public outreach meetings and presentations to Rotary Club, City TAC, County Commission, and open house meetings for the community. The design team reports that school administration and staff prefer a new High School (Option C) primarily from the educational programming perspective. The district owns two vacant sites which could accommodate new buildings in addition to the existing school facilities at Strawberry Park, Soda Creek, the High School and the 7th Street campus. Site A, Whistler Park is 9.2 acres. The site for Options B & C is 35 acres adjacent to the Steamboat II neighborhood. Comments / Discussion Points- Option A

Option A New 67,000 square foot pre-kindergarten through fifth grade school

on the Whistler Park site.

Renovations and additions would occur at the existing elementary, middle school

and high school locations.

Water and Wastewater would be served by the Mt. Werner Water and Sanitation District. Fire flows for sites within the city limits are generally good, fire flow code requirements will be verified at the time of building plan review. City Transit operates the green route with service on Whistler Lane, the closest stop is at the Whistler/Skyview intersection. This route operates all year. City Engineering commented that the school districts concept plan shows an access road crossing Walton Creek to connect with US Route 40 directly west of their site. The Citys roadway plan shows a future connection being an extension of Stone Lane which is just north of the school site. Development is currently ongoing on the west side of the creek which is based on the future extension of Stone Lane. The school district proposed connection to 40 is not compatible with the Citys planned right-of-way extension and current property ownership west of the creek. A transportation study is needed to determine needed road facility additions and upgrades.

4.2

Comments / Discussion Points- Option B

Option B New 90,000 square foot pre-kindergarten through eighth grade

school on the Steamboat II site.

Renovations and additions would occur at the existing elementary and middle

school locations.

The Steamboat II site would derive water distribution and waste water collection services from Steamboat II Metro District. Steamboat II would then convey the wastewater to the Citys wastewater treatment plant. The City Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is sized for the current city limit and special district service areas. The capacity of the City WWTP does not automatically accommodate areas outside of the city limit or outside of the special district service areas. The manager of Steamboat II Metro District encouraged the school design team to contact him to discuss water and sewer issues soon, since costs for WWTP plant upgrades, collection system upgrades, and treated water availability could affect the school decision. Fire Department requested fire flow information for the Steamboat II site. City Transit commented that transit services do not extend westward to Steamboat II and that there is no current plan or funding to do so. However, there would likely be a perception/expectation that the City should serve the area if the school were located there. City Engineering commented that a transportation study is needed to evaluate roadway facility upgrades such as auxiliary turn lanes and the almost certain need for a signal at the intersection of CR 42 at US 40. The study also needs to include evaluation of redistribution of traffic due to the changes proposed at the other school sites. The concept level sketches appear optimistic with respect to the achievable density of buildings, sports fields and parking given that significant topography, grading and retaining walls must be considered. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as neighborhood connections to Steamboat II, a perimeter trail and core trail extension would be expected in order to provide great healthy options to the on-street transportation system. However, pedestrian and bicycle connections are not indicated in the school districts current concept plans and have no current funding. Comments / Discussion Points- Option C

4.3

Option C- New 198,297 square foot high school on property adjacent to

Steamboat II which is approximately 5 miles west of the current high school.

Former High School would become the Middle School and District Administrative

offices.

The sports stadium would remain at former High School site.

The middle school would be moved to the current high school facilities.

Renovations and additions would occur at the existing elementary and middle

school locations.

The Steamboat II site would derive water distribution and waste water collection services from Steamboat II Metro District. Steamboat II would then convey the wastewater to the Citys wastewater treatment plant. The city Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) is sized for the current city limit and special district service areas. The capacity of the city WWTP does not automatically accommodate areas outside of the city limit or outside of the special district service areas. The manager of Steamboat II Metro District encouraged the school design team to contact him to discuss water and sewer issues soon, since costs for WWTP plant upgrades, collection system upgrades, and treated water availability could affect the school decision. Fire Department requested fire flow information for the Steamboat II site. City Transit commented that transit services do not extend westward to Steamboat II and that there is no current plan or funding to do so. However, there would likely be a perception/expectation that the City should serve the area if the school were located there. City Engineering commented that a transportation study is needed to evaluate roadway facility upgrades such as auxiliary turn lanes and the almost certain need for a signal at the intersection of CR 42 at US 40. The study also needs to include evaluation of redistribution of traffic due to the changes proposed at the other school sites. The concept level sketches appear optimistic with respect to the achievable density of buildings, sports fields and parking given that significant topography, grading and retaining walls must be considered. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as neighborhood connections to Steamboat II, a perimeter trail and core trail extension would be expected in order to provide great healthy options to the on-street transportation system. However, pedestrian and bicycle connections are not indicated in the school districts current concept plans and have no current funding.

4.4

New Option The School District is investigating the possibility of locating a new High School on a larger site closer to downtown. This site would address a recurring comment from stakeholders regarding the transportation issues for families, students and the district associated with the Option C- Steamboat II site. Other possible benefits of a larger site include locating a new sports stadium facility adjacent to the new High School, reserving land for future school district expansion and additional land available for potential partnerships. Comments / Discussion Points- Option D

Option D- Purchase Heritage Christian School and use as either: Pre-

Kindergarten through fifth grade, Pre-kindergarten through eighth, or as district

offices.

The Heritage Christian School site currently receives water and waste water collection services from Steamboat II Metro District. Waste water is conveyed by Steamboat II to the City of Steamboat Springs WWTP. Depending on the proposed use and modifications to this building, water and waste water fees will apply. Fire Department will need fire flow information for the Heritage Christian School site. City transit services do not extend westward to Heritage Christian School and that there is no current plan or funding to do so. However, depending on the proposed new use of the Heritage Christian School site, there would likely be a perception/expectation that city transit should serve the area. City Engineering commented that a transportation study is needed to determine needed road facility upgrades such as auxiliary turn lanes and the almost certain need for a signalized intersection. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities such as a perimeter trail and core trail extension would be expected in order to provide great healthy options to the on-street transportation system. Summary City Staff appreciates the opportunity to comment on plans for developing new school infrastructure. Staff is in favor of sustainable low cost alternatives in both the short term and the long term. Staff encourages decisions that allow and encourage multiple choices for mobility and transportation.

4.5

Constructing a new High School on a site closer to town may provide value in several ways:

Infrastructure Availability: The cost to provide waste water treatment is lower for sites within the city limit. Transportation: Save time and money for families and the district, as well as highway maintenance over the life of the school. In addition, a closer west side site would be more cost effective to serve with public transit. Athletic Fields: Larger site could allow partnerships for athletic fields with city Parks Department or future recreation district and maintain high schools sports facilities on campus. Community Accessibility: Closer proximity to city resources such as Howelsen Hill, the Library, City Parks and local eateries. Mobility: Location closer to more students would favor decisions to bike or walk to school. Environment: Shorter, in-town travel distance for some students who choose to use motor vehicle.

AGENDA ITEM #5.


FROM: Tyler Gibbs, Director of Planning Services THROUGH: Deb Hinsvark, City Manager DATE: June 2, 2015 ITEM: West End Village Townhomes Affordable Housing

Deed Restrictions. (Gibbs)

ORDINANCE RESOLUTION MOTION X DIRECTION X INFORMATION

I. REQUEST OR ISSUE: The owners of several units in the West End Village Townhome subdivision have requested the City to release affordable housing deed restrictions encumbering their units. II. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Current Townhome Deed Restrictions At the time of development the West End Village Townhomes were provided a subsidy in the form of fee and tax waivers. These included Building Permit Fees, Plan Review Fees, 50% refund of Development Permit Fees, Use Tax and Tap Fees. A breakdown of fees waived per unit is displayed in the chart below.

5.1

The following deed restrictions were instituted for the townhomes with the City as the beneficiary in consideration of the fee reductions. Purchaser must:

Work in Routt County (40hrs/week or 1800hrs/yr. whichever is less)

Earn no more than 120% of Area Medium Income (120% = $93,600/family of

four in 2015)

Spend no more than 30% of monthly income on mortgage

Have a net worth no greater than $250,000 (annual CPI adjustment from 2006 =

$293,400 in 2015)

No appreciation cap

During the first 5 years of ownership there was to be a penalty for resale. After 5 years the penalty was terminated but the deed restrictions continued. Contrast with other Deed Restricted Properties In contrast, the single-family properties in West End Village had similar deed restrictions but a different financial benefit. Purchasers of single-family property were offered preferential subordinate financing comprising $15,000 in low interest down payment assistance. In 2011, the City and YVHA (joint beneficiaries in this program) agreed to remove restrictions on maximum income and net worth restrictions on the single-family properties in consideration of repayment of the original financing plus interest calculated upon the difference between the historic average interest rate and the actual

5.2

interest rate received on the subordinate financing. Local employment and residency requirements were retained. The deed restrictions that council removed at Sunray Meadows did include appreciation caps in return for substantial discounts to the purchaser. Removal of those restrictions required repayment of a percentage of the original subsidies which ranged from $61,000 to $165,500. Recent Consideration for Release of Townhome Deed Restrictions Since 2012, the City had received several requests for the release of deed restrictions on the townhomes. The following factors were considered:

There are few multi-family units of similar size and desirability in the affordable housing program. It has been considered important to retain these properties in the program.

While the City has the authority to make this decision, YVHA has opposed the removal of deed restrictions in principle due to the shortage of 3 bedroom units that can accommodate families.

The specifics of this program differ from other deed restricted properties in the community and therefore the approaches applied to remove other deed restriction are not directly applicable.

City Council indicated a preference to no longer hear individual requests for elimination of deed restrictions.

Therefore, individual requests for removal of the townhome deed restrictions were not brought to council. Policy Considerations The City will soon be reconsidering affordable housing policies given the prospect of increasing affordability pressures as the local economy continues to improve. Removal of properties from the existing program may be perceived as exacerbating a situation for which we may soon be seeking new alternative approaches. The existing deed restrictions are primarily intended to make residential opportunities available to the local work force. They do not include appreciation caps. Reconsideration of income and net-worth caps may be warranted to ensure that the desired market is being served without removing local residency and/or work requirements.

5.3

III. OPTIONS Council may consider the following options:

1. Maintain the West End Townhomes in the inventory of attainable housing in Steamboat Springs by retaining the existing deed restrictions.

2. Relax the deed restrictions by removing limitations on maximum percentage of monthly income that can go toward mortgage payments, maximum annual income and net worth while retaining residency and employment requirements.

3. Remove the units entirely from the attainable housing inventory by removing all deed restrictions in consideration of repayment of original financial assistance.

IV. LEGAL ISSUES. None.

V. FISCAL IMPACTS. Subsidy reimbursement funds paid to the City as condition of releasing deed restrictions would go to the Housing Fund. VII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION. Staff recommends Option 1 or Option 2. Both City and YVHA staff believe that the West End Village Townhomes provide a unique housing product that, due to their size and configuration, provides a very desirable option for attainable local workforce housing.

Yampa Valley Data Partners Triple Crown Economic Impact Study 05/2015 Page 2 of 11

Executive Summary Yampa Valley Data Partners, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, provides unbiased, accurate, timely and relevant data to governments, businesses and nonprofits in the Northwest Colorado region. Our mission is to stengthen our communities by providing this data as a foundational piece to facilitate discussion, collaboration and the best possible decision making.

This assessment of the direct and indirect economic impacts of Triple Crown includes the following estimates:

x Triple Crown visitors bring about $8.5 million in taxable dollars directly into the Steamboat Springs economy annually, based on summer 2014 figures. This amount equals roughly 6.5% of the approximately $131 million in taxable dollars that the city reported for the June-July-August period in 2014.

x Its estimated that 43% of this $8.5 million is spent on Lodging and 27% is spent on Food and Beverage.

x In terms of money directly spent by Triple Crown visitors, Triple Crown generates approximately $340,000 in sales-tax revenue for the city. This amount equals roughly 6.5% of the approximately $5.23 million in sales-tax dollars that the city reported for the June-July-August period in 2014.

x When various additional direct and indirect impacts also are considered, Triple Crown generates approximately $404,773 in sales-tax revenue for the city. This amount equals roughly 7.7% of the approximately $5.23 million in sales-tax dollars that the city reported for the June-July-August period in 2014.

Introduction Yampa Valley Data Partners, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, provides unbiased, accurate, timely and relevant data to governments, businesses and nonprofits in the Northwest Colorado region. Our mission is to stengthen our communities by providing this data as a foundational piece to facilitate discussion, collaboration and the best possible decision making.

This assessment estimates the direct and indirect economic impacts of Triple Crown in terms household Income by industry sector; job gains on a Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) basis; sales taxes generated by industry sector; and sales-tax collections by taxing entity. Economic impacts of Triple Crown are estimated using the following steps:

x Total estimated spending by Triple Crown visitors x Visitor spending by category x Tax revenue by spending category and tax funds x Impact on local household income due to visitor spending and local vendor support x Job creation x Estimate of local spending and sales tax collections due to local household spending x Estimated indirect impact by industry sector of households local spending x Aggregation of sales tax collections by taxing entity from visitors and locals

These steps comprise an economic impact model developed by Yampa Valley Data Partners and represent our organizations best effort to account for direct and indirect economic impacts to the community without understating or overstating any of these impacts. In a couple of the steps, 100% local spending was assumed, rather than figuring in a leakage factor. Reasoning behind this is noted in the individual step where it occurs, and there is no instance in which the lack of this leakage calculation significantly alters overall big picture results of this economic impact assessment.

Data sources utilized include the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, BizStats, City of Steamboat Springs financial reports, research by RRC Associates, and chamber lodging data.

6.22


Step 1 - Total estimated spending Direct total spending associated with Triple Crown visitors in the summer of 2014 is estimated to have been $8.5 million. Lodging data and summer 2014 research conducted in Steamboat Springs by RRC Associates, a Boulder-based firm that has conducted numerous studies in Steamboat and other Colorado towns and resort areas, were utilized to come up with this initial overall dollar amount. Estimated amount Methodology $8.5 million 16,200 guests x daily per-person expenditure of $104.39.

Spending per guest for 5 days/nights is $521.95. At 16,200 guests, total is $8,455,590.

Step 2 Spending by category This step takes the overall dollar value from Step 1 and divides the amount into primary spending categories. Category Percentage Amount Methodology Lodging 43% $3,655,000 Spending per

category as identified in 2014 RRC summer research

Food and Drink 27% $2,295,000 Retail 14% $1,190,000 Recreation, Entertainment & Misc. 16% $1,360,000 Total 100% $8,500,000

6.23


Step 3 Tax revenue by spending category and tax fund Amounts from Step 2 are looked at here in terms of taxes raised per spending category and revenues realized by each taxing entity. Triple Crown generated approximately $340,000 in sales-tax revenue for the city in 2014. This amount equals roughly 6.5% of the approximately $5.23 million in sales-tax dollars that the city reported for the June-July-August 2014 period. As shown in the table of 2014 figures below, Triple Crown also generates estimated sales-tax revenues for the state ($246,500), Routt County ($85,000), the Local Marketing District ($73,100), Steamboat schools ($42,500), the lodging-tax fund ($36,550) and the air-service support program ($21,250).

The tax-collecting entity totals will increase by an overall total of 15.6% when additional impacts are aggregated into the tax-collection figures in Step 8B (page 10).

6.24


Step 4 Direct impact on household income due to visitor spending and support services by local vendors This steps looks at direct impacts on local household income in terms of direct visitor spending and wages paid by local vendors to local workers. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) customary to the Lodging, Food Services, Retail and Entertainment industries were factored into the calculations to arrive at figures representing vendor usage.

Vendor usage was considered to be entirely local, which does overstate local economic impact; however, reliable data to the contrary was not available. It was then assumed that of the fees collected by local vendors, half was spent on local labor. Again, this calculation may slightly overstate local economic impact but was considered the best estimate to use in lieu of reliable data to the contrary.

6.25


Step 5 - Estimate of job creation by category due to direct household income (as a result of Triple Crown visitor spending) This step produces an estimate of the jobs created as a direct result of Triple Crown spending. Jobs are measured on an FTE (full-time equivalent) basis. The FTE calculation is done by taking the average wage for the industry sector directly impacted and dividing it into the average annual wage. Quarterly data from Q4- 2013 through Q3-2014 was used.

Since wages are shown before taxes, the value of taxes needs to be deducted to calculate disposable income. However, in this study the wages/salaries are low enough that it is estimated that the employees have no tax liability and in some cases are even eligible for Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs). This estimate is based on BLS Consumer Expenditure Data for incomes between $20,000 and $30,000.

6.26


Step 6 - Estimate of local spending and sales-tax collections as a result of direct local household spending This estimate is based on BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey Data for households with earnings between $20,000 and $30,000. This step also calculates the anticipated sales-tax collections by taxing entity as a result of increased direct household spending. In this step, it was assumed that the households would spend 100% of their disposable income locally (with the exception of any Pensions and Social Security spending). This assumption likely overstates the value for example, if even modest leakage was accounted for by taking 80% of the $2,138,973 total, that calculation would bring this figure down to $1,711,178. However, with the impacted households being largely in low-income occupations, it was reasoned that a larger-than-customary percentage of disposable household income would be spent locally. For example, it stands to reason that a fair proportion of these households likely are renters paying a local landlord, as opposed to homeowners paying an out-of-town mortgage company.

Category Amount spent

Shelter (Mortgage/Rent) $493,953

Utilities $216,803

Food (groceries) $205,627

Health care $203,392

Subtotal $1,119,775

Other $1,019,198

Total $2,138,973

80% of total (account for modest leakage)

$1,711,178

6.27


Step 7 - Estimated indirect impact by industry sector of direct households' local spending This step uses the calculations in Step 6 to estimate the indirect impacts by industry that are due to direct household spending as a result of Triple Crown. The indirect spending associated with this step sometimes is best understood by referring to it as the first turn of the direct impact. The purpose of this step is to calculate the indirect spending by industry sector and the resulting indirect wages created by increased spending by direct households. For Triple Crown, this step results in adding another 4.8 full-time equivalents to the local job market. Addition of the 4.8 FTEs in this step brings the FTE total impact to 86.2 FTEs.

The 86.2 FTEs directly and indirectly supported by Triple Crown are predominantly in Accommodations, Food Service, Retail, Entertainment and Recreation industry sectors. Aggregated annualized wage for these jobs is estimated to average $25,632. Average annual wage in Routt County as a whole is estimated to be $41,964.

6.28


Step 8A - Sales tax factor as a result of indirect household spending In this step the estimated sales tax is calculated for each of the taxing entities based on the spending by indirect households. Again it was assumed that 100% of the spending by indirect households is spent locally.

Step 8B - Aggregation of sales- tax collections by taxing entity from Triple Crown visitors and locals This step aggregates sales-tax collections due to spending directly associated with Triple Crown visitors and both direct and indirect household spending. This step raises Triple Crown-related tax-revenue amounts listed in Step 3 by amounts ranging from $64,773 for the city to $4,048 for the air-service support program. Overall increase in sales-tax collections from Step 3 is 15.6%.

6.29


Summary By generating roughly $8.5 million in visitor spending in 2014, Triple Crown directly accounted for about 6.5% of the June-through-August taxable dollars in Steamboat, as well as 6.5% of June-through-August city sales-tax revenues. Largest shares of the $8.5 million were spent on Lodging (43%) and Food & Beverage (27%). When direct and indirect economic impacts are considered, it can be reasonably estimated that Triple Crown generates approximately $404,773 in sales-tax revenue for the city. This amount equals roughly 7.7% of the approximately $5.23 million in sales-tax dollars that the city reported for the June-July-August period in 2014. Direct and indirect economic impacts associated with Triple Crown support a little better than 86 FTE (full-time equivalent) jobs in the lodging, food/ beverage, retail, and entertainment/recreation industry sectors, with these jobs paying an aggregated annualized average wage of $25,632. Average annual wage in Routt County as a whole is estimated to be $41,964.
