General Facts

1. Employee housing is subsidized by CME. This means that CME actually absorbs a portion of the rental cost so that it can provide housing to its employees at a competitive rate. Housing is contingent upon an employee being employed full time with CME. If a person does not make it through the training regimen, does not work full time, or is terminated for cause, he or she must vacate employee housing within 72 hours.

2. Designated parking lots are provided for personal vehicles at all of our housing complexes in Vail Valley, Silverthorne and Glenwood Springs. Parking permits are required at Kayak Crossing and Buffalo Ridge. These can be picked up at the Polar Star Property Management Office in Eagle Vail. (949-9417) Vehicle registration data and a driver’s license will be required to get a permit.

3. CME pays for the rental furniture that is provided for the housing. This includes: beds (typically twins or fulls), night stands, dressers and lamps for the bedrooms; A micro wave, an oven with burners, a disposal and a refrigerator for the kitchen; Sofas, a coffee table, end tables, lamps, a TV stand (not the TV) and a basic cable hookup for regular TV channels in the living room; A dining table and chairs for the dining area.

4. New TV’s can be purchased at the local Wal-Mart for around $300. Used TV’s are available at local thrift stores for around $100.

5. Other than phone and internet services, CME pays for gas, electric, water and sewer, trash removal, snow removal, etc.

6. CME is not responsible for providing bed linens, tableware, glassware, utensils, pots and pans. These can be purchased new at the local Wal-Mart or bought used at the local thrift stores. It is better to wait to see what size bed you will have before buying linen.

7. Housing rates range from $525 to $645 per bedroom. ($525-five bedroom, $565-four bedroom, $605 three bedroom, $645-two bedroom. A shared bedroom will cost $475 per person. These are limited in number.

8. The first and last months rent are prorated based on when a tenant occupies and vacates his or her unit.

9. In order to be guaranteed employee housing, an employee will be required to pay in advance a $300 security deposit and a partial first months rent payment of $300. These funds need to be sent along with the Housing Deposit/Partial 1st Months Rent Form to CME, Attn: Jeaniene Whitman, PO Box 580, Vail CO, 81658.

10. Check-in packets are available the day of an employee’s scheduled arrival. Normal check-in is between 10:00am and 5:00pm Monday through Friday. Special arrangements for check-ins can be made after hours or over the weekend by contacting Paul Golden at 970-926-9800 ext.6105

11. If an employee has a special request for certain room mates or a particular apartment, we will try to place that employee as requested. However, there is no guarantee. Contact Paul Golden by e-mail at paulg@cmex.com to make such a request.

12. Maintenance issues related to an employee’s unit will be processed through a work order system. The procedure will be explained at orientation.

13. Upon vacating a unit at the end of the season, the unit will need to be cleaned. If we determine the unit is not cleaned thoroughly enough, we will have it cleaned professionally. This typically will cost one hundred dollars per roommate for a general clean and a carpet clean.

14. Roommates will share in paying expenses for damages to their apartments.

15. The balance of an employee’s security deposit will be refunded after expenses for cleaning and damages are deducted from the total. The refund will be returned to an employee within 60 days after the unit is vacated.
