COLORADO
On August 5, the Vail Town Council will receive a presentation on the development of a Single-Use Plastic Reduction Ordinance, including stakeholder engagement results, policy recommendations, and proposed implementation approaches. The Council will also consider a resolution to submit a ballot measure regarding short-term rentals for the November 4, 2025, election. This measure stems from a 2024 Council goal to have short-term rentals contribute financially to housing. Following a voter survey that showed strong support for a dedicated STR tax for housing programs, the Council directed staff to draft the resolution.
