3. GUIDANCE FROM THE CITY CLERK’S OFFICE - SUE (10 MINUTES)
The City Clerk’s Office is trying to make Board and Commission practices more
uniform across the city. You will be hearing more about this. At a recent training, two
things were clarified that affect this board:
• Best way to send communications to City Council is to provide a memo to
Sarah Kane in the City Manager’s Office who will distribute to City Council
members.
• When finalizing the language for a board recommendation that one member
is asked to memorialize, it is okay to circulate a draft for comments, but board
members cannot reply all but rather must reply to the author only. Also, group
documents, such as a google doc, cannot be used because more than two
Board members could be using at once and that violates rules related to
notice.
Board Action: FYI and Discussion
4. OPEN BOARD DISCUSSION / BOARD IDEAS – ALL BOARD MEMBERS (40
MINUTES)
This in an opportunity for Board members to drive the conversation. Bring topics you
would like the board to discuss.
BOARD BUSINESS:
• Meeting Logistics – Board Discussion, as needed. Remote meetings seem to
work best for most. March will be the first of 3 or 4 in- person meetings in 2023.
April and May meetings will be remote.
• Member terms update –
o Each board member’s term has been decided by City Council when they
appointed you. They are of different lengths to stagger board membership.
Still, all board members can serve up to 8 years upon application and
reappointment by City Council.
o All terms expire in December. Here are the current term expiration dates:
▪ Stefanie 2026
▪ Jennifer 2023
▪ Kristin 2023
▪ Sheila 2024
▪ John 2024
▪ Bob 2025
▪ Ed 2023
• Contact with Council Liaison –

o Last visit January 2023
• Project Certification –

• Ideas for future meetings: Housing Agency panel of providers; Water Issues in
Colorado (Mayor Arndt); Eviction and Foreclosure Prevention (Kelly Evans);
County Housing Work (Alea Rodriguez); Murphy Center update and plans for the
future (Homeward Alliance); Grant Opportunities; The Affordable City book;
Displacement Mitigation Mapping Project (maybe early 202 3); How to Support
Mobile Home Park conversions; How to keep locals in housing; and Volunteer

5. NEW BUSINESS
A. Rental Program and Occupancy – Marcy Yoder, Neighborhood Services
• During First Reading of the Rental Housing Program before Cit Council in January,
Council requested a work session on February 28. A registration program with a robust
complaint-based rental inspection outline and the budget will be included in the work
session presentation.
• There is a tentative work session scheduled for April 25 to discuss Occupancy. At this
work session, they plan to bring the following to Council to discuss:
• Removing family definitions from occupancy and changing the language to
identify adults in their dependents.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
02/02 /202 3 – M I N U TES Page 2
• Altering the number of adults and dependents outlined in the current
Occupancy Limit.
• Altering Extra Occupancy Processes by recommending an Extra Occupancy
Process that covers all city areas, regardless of what zone someone lives in.
This would also change the process from a development review process (which
is lengthy and costly) to an administrative process where the permit would be
specific to the owner and the property it is issued to. This permit would then be
tied back into a rental inspection of the property to ensure the unit had legally
conforming spaces with egress.
• DISCUSSION:
• What concerns does the community have about the Rental Program?
There are concerns about new regulations for landlords, affordable housing,
and what data is available to demonstrate the scope of this issue. We want to
be clear that this isn’t an affordable housing strategy, this program is about
rental protection and ensuring safe units for Fort Collins residents. As far as
scope, we won’t know what the scope is until we do proactive inspections
because we won’t see all units come through using a complaint-based system.
• How much will the Rental Program cost?
There were many assumptions made about the cost of this program before the
fee schedule had been published. Many rental inspection programs use third-
party inspectors, which is expensive. That is why we are instead recommending
that inspections be performed by City-employed inspectors. The cost of the
program was calculated by taking program fees and dividing that out by the
number of properties and units identified in the City. Using a hybrid formula,
75% of the cost is a per property fee and the remaining 25% is a per-unit fee. If
Council approves a registration-only program, the fee will have to be
recalculated, but it won’t be that different from what it is now.
• Would affordable housing companies have to adhere to the regulations of the
Rental Program?
The proposal we took to Council stated that any properties subject to HUD
inspections would be exempt from being inspected by a City inspector. If
Council moves forward with a registration program, we’ll also identify what
types of third-party inspections are already being conducted that could be
exempt from the proactive inspection process if they meet the criteria that has
been established by the City.
• Was this the program recommended by the Rental Housing Task Force?
No, the Rental Housing Task Force recommended registration and complaint-
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
02/02 /202 3 – M I N U TES Page 3
based inspections, not proactive inspections.
• How does the Rental Housing Program address tenant protections and rights?
Under either program, our intent was to develop a multitude of resources for
tenants. We want to start by creating a one-page list of resources that is
available to tenants that will have website links to Neighbor to Neighbor, the
complaint-based City Rental Inspection Program, awareness of the Eviction
Legal Fund, and mediation resources. Although this informs tenants, it doesn’t
address the power dynamic that exists between tenants and landlords. If a
proactive inspection program is enacted, this would take the onus off tenants
since the City would be responsible for ensuring the health and safety of rental
units.
• How will Neighborhood Services ensure landlords follow new regulations put
forth by the Rental Housing Program?
We would first make sure we have a list of all landlords in Fort Collins by cross-
referencing using the County Assessors Database, information from the City’s
Utility data, and any other public websites where we can cross-reference
address and property ownership. This is how we would track and hold people
accountable for following the new regulations.
• Could professional management companies choose to have their own third-
party inspector?
This will depend on if Council decides to enact this program differently than we
originally proposed. Overall, third-party inspections are more expensive for the
end user and are harder to ensure consistency.
• How often will inspections on rental units be done?
Every five years.
• How is the Rental Housing Program different from municipalities that require all
rental homes to be up to code?
Our current complaint-based system has building inspectors inspect properties
rather than rental inspectors. This is because the intent with rental inspections
is not to examine whether a house is up to code, but rather to ensure that it
meets the property maintenance code compliance. We have been having this
conversation with our chief building official because there are many questions
about what minimum health and safety is and how we will look at units to
assess if something needs to be worked on or not. We have also discussed the
difference between “deferred maintenance” versus something that’s been put
off long enough to be considered hazardous. This is an unintended
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
02/02 /202 3 – M I N U TES Page 4
consequence that was discovered in our research, and we are going to have to
continue to monitor things like this and see what resources could be available
to landlords.
• Can the Occupancy Program do anything about over-occupancy in homes due
to drug-related activities?
This issue would fall under public nuisance. A new public nuisance order holds
property owners accountable for nuisance activities that occur on their property
and drug-related activities are on that list.
• How is the public nuisance policy enforced?
It starts with a notification letter and if the issue gets resolved, the process is
complete. If not, a fine is issued to the landlord. If the landlord accrues up to
three unpaid fines, they can be charged with a criminal misdemeanor and the
City can sue the property owner in a civil suit. Voluntary compliance is always
the City’s first goal.
• What is the purpose of the current occupancy limit if the city has other
regulations in place to account for nuisance, noise, etc.?
The Occupancy Limit was originally designed to increase livability in
neighborhoods by controlling the number of people who lived in a house. The
goal of occupancy at this point is to look at how to right-size the housing stock
to the number of people living in Fort Collins and it is a policy decision that
Council will need to decide.
• Were occupancy limits created with safe egress from a home in mind?
Not necessarily. Occupancy limits don’t always address the issue of safe
egress because this has more to do with the safety of the unit and building code
regulations than it does occupancy.
B. Housing Strategic Plan – Meaghan Overton, SSD
• Meaghan asked if the Board had any questions about the Rental Housing Program or
the Land Development Code repeal.
• DISCUSSION:
• Why does Fort Collins have such a long wait for Section 8 Housing compared
to other states/markets?
In many places (not just Fort Collins), there isn’t enough funding for the number
of vouchers needed. There’s also the challenge of housing vacancy. In Fort
Collins the vacancy rate has been well below 5% for years. So even if you get a
voucher, you must find an available unit where the rent is set appropriately for
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING
02/02 /202 3 – M I N U TES Page 5
that voucher. There is also a certain length of time in which you must use the
voucher, so if you can’t find anything in the specified amount of time, it goes to
someone else.
• What’s coming up in housing that we should be aware of?
Sustainable Funding, which is dedicated revenue for affordable housing. We
are also tracking legislation around land use.
C. Board Member Ideas – Bob suggested inviting Alea Rodriguez, Larimer County’s Housing
Stability Program Manager, to speak with the board sometime this year.
6. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS – None.
