Business owners say mandate has done its job. Author: Scott Miller (Vail Daily) Published: 3:50 PM MDT April 8, 2021 Updated: 3:50 PM MDT April 8, 2021
VAIL, Colo. Thank you, mask mandate. Now it’s time to ride into the sunset.
After a successful winter, all things considered, Vail officials are expected to lift the town’s outdoor mask mandate as of April 19, the day after Vail Mountain closes.
The council in November 2020 imposed the outdoor mandate, which requires people to wear face coverings outdoors in the town’s resort villages. The town passed an emergency ordinance to impose the mandate, and can’t repeal the ordinance until its April 20 regular meeting. In the meantime, the council has instructed Town Manager Scott Robson to stop enforcement of the ordinance as of April 19.

Virtually every Vail Town Council meeting agenda in recent memory has included notice of an executive session a session held out of public view. Some residents say the council is over-using this common tool.
Vail Homeowners Association Executive Director Jim Lamont, a longtime Vail government watcher, said the council is “definitely” over-using executive sessions. Many other residents are making the same argument, particularly when it comes to the Booth Heights property and a pending development agreement with Triumph Development for Lot 3 of the Middle Creek subdivision.
“There’s a lot of public policy being made inappropriately that rightfully belongs in the public arena,” Lamont said.
