Memorandum
To: Mayor Hutchinson and City Council Members
From: Economic Advisory Commission (EAC)
Christophe Febvre, Chair
CC: Darin Atteberry, City Manager
Mike Freeman, Chief Financial Officer
Date: November 22, 2010
Subject: Recommendation on Economic Health Budget for 2011 and 2012
The Economic Advisory Commission (EAC) recommends to City Council that the funding
for the bicycle safety program ($50,000) be restored to the 2011 and 2012 budget. The
EAC believes the bicycling culture and environment that has been developed in Fort
Collins has had a positive impact on the City’s economy and the quality-of-life that is a
valuable element of the economy. The EAC feels that bicycle safety, and its coordination
and promotion, is an important component of the City’s bike-friendly environment which
is worth funding.
