The Economic Advisory Commission (EAC) held a special meeting on March 12, 2010 to hear a
presentation by Mike Freeman on "Resourcing our Future." During the course of the meeting,
the EAC had the opportunity to ask in depth questions and had extensive
discussions surrounding the economic trade-offs and the issues presented by
current City Revenue and the various needs around the City. In light of the
presentation and discussions, the EAC makes the following recommendation to
Council:
The EAC unanimously recommends that the long term needs of Police Services, Poudre
Fire Authority, Parks and Recreation, and Streets Maintenance are important to the
viability and economic health of Fort Collins, and we urge City Council to support the need
to raise revenues.
Thank you for considering this recommendation.
