portion of the project to begin construction in 2018. Phase II will include 132 market rate units with rents at 80%or
below of AMI. ECHDA will partner as a Special Limited Partner in the tax credit partnership, who will provide tax
exemption and a subordinate loan of$500,000 to be repaid with interest.
Ms. Bell Williams provided some background and introduced Gerry Flynn with Polar Star Properties. The
Spring Creek Apartment project would be constructed in two phases. Completion was estimated to be in 2019.
The Housing Authority had been asked to partner in two ways, by providing a tax exemption and a $500,000
subordinate loan to be repaid back at a 3% interest rate over a five-year period. This funding was essential to
closing the funding gap for the overall project.
Gerry Flynn spoke about the other partnerships. The project received tremendous community support
throughout the predevelopment process. The Town of Gypsum had been very supportive in the planning process.

Certificate of Designation - Vail Honeywagon Class III Composting Facility
1. Certificate of Designation to Vail Honeywagon for a Composting Site at the Ute Creek Storage PUD
Ray Merry,Environmental Health
Executive Summary: For its Class Ill, Composting Facility, Vail Honeywagon Enterprises LLC must obtain a
Certificate of Designation from the governing body having jurisdiction, which in this case is the Board of County
Commissioners for Eagle County. The Colorado Department of Public Health&Environment(CDPHE),
Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division reviewed Vail Honeywagon's Engineering Design and
Operations Plan (EDOP)to verify that the solid waste facility will be designed and operated in compliance with
State solid waste regulations. CDPHE approved Vail Honeywagon's EDOP and recommended approval with
conditions to Eagle County. At this public hearing, Eagle County, as the governing body having jurisdiction, now
must review the proposed Certificate of Designation and take action to approve or deny such request for
a Certificate of Designation with conditions for the Vail Honeywagon Class III Composting Facility.
Mr. Merry stated that he would be presenting on behalf of the applicant, Vail Honeywagon. He thanked
staff for its work on the presentation. The State's role was to review and determine that a solid waste site and
facility could be operated in accordance with its rules and regulations. The Board of County Commissioners,
having jurisdiction,would look at the site for its proper location. The Certificate of Designation may be subject to
conditions, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment reviewed the application and prepared
a letter that had a number of conditions. Vail Honeywagon wished to operate a composting facility, and in order to
do so, Eagle County was required to review the request and issue a recommendation. Any modifications would be
reviewed by the State. The technical conditions were incorporated into the Certificate of Designation, and the
proposed certificate required compliance with the Engineering Design and Operation Plan and conditions as
approved. The certificate can be temporarily suspended or revoked for failure to comply. The original cost
estimate must be revised every five years unless otherwise required by the Colorado Department of Public Health &
Environment.
Chairman Chandler-Henry opened public comment.
Joanne Rock expressed support for the composting concept but thought the financial plan should include a
payback of grant money.
Chairman Chandler-Henry closed public comment.
Shawn Bruckman, Director of Sustainability for Vail Honeywagon stated that the collaboration started with
a grant from Eagle County and the return on investment was a reduction in greenhouse gases.

facility. It was not a private facility.

Department for doing the due diligence.

Class III Composting Facility based upon statutory considerations.
Chairman Chandler-Henry seconded the motion. Of the two voting Commissioners, the vote was declared
unanimous.
