UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. None 04/17/2025 DRAFT UNAPPROVED MINUTES Page 2 of 5 8. NEW BUSINESS a. STAFF REPORTS i. Financial Monthly Report Senior Financial Analyst Jen Authier answered commissioners’ questions. Discussion Highlights: Commissioners commented on or inquired about various related topics including the 21% over budget figure for Stormwater Fund operating revenues on the bar chart (Ms. Authier responded that staff budgets conservatively on operating revenues as well as on development items). ii. Water Resources Quarterly Report Water Resources Engineer Michael Neale answered commissioners’ questions. Discussion Highlights: Commissioners commented on or inquired about various related topics including the raw water rentals process, how it relates to agricultural interests (Mr. Neale responded that the City rents water to agriculture primarily through its shares in North Poudre Irrigation Company [NPIC] and Water Supply and Storage Company [WSSC] and that any excess is available to rent via a lottery system if conditions are favorable; if condition are not favorable, the water is retained for City use in summer. He referred commissioners to the chart showing remaining supply (Colorado-Big Thompson Project water through NPIC). Conditions are quite good this year, therefore Water Resources Division staff has decided to allow rentals. Other topics included the Water Shortage Action Plan; water supply and demand; whether the City has an option to cancel deliveries if necessary (Mr. Neale replied that once water is rented, it’s gone and longer available for City use); irrigation uses; other local ditch companies; augmentation and lease agreements; revenue from raw water rentals (Mr. Neale responded that Utilities receives roughly $1 million revenue from rentals, which covers about half of the total assessments). iii. Presentation & Discussion: Fort Collins’ Utilities Approach to Addressing PFAS Senior Environmental Regulatory Specialist Jesse Schla m presented information on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (known as PFAS). Fort Collins Utilities is committed to protecting public health and the environment. Mr. Schlam addressed current state and efforts to address PFAS (“forever” chemicals) in our water systems. Our drinking water is safe, and there are ways customers can reduce exposure to PFAS, namely through buying personal care and other products that do not contain PFAS. Discussion Highlights: Commissioners expressed appreciation for the 04/17/2025 DRAFT UNAPPROVED MINUTES Page 3 of 5 presentation, and inquired or commented on various related topics, including evolving treatment options; whether there are any cities treating for PFAS (Mr. Schlam responded there are various treatments for PFAS that combine and condense but can’t destroy the chemicals (most incinerators can’t reach the temperatures required) and that some communities between Colorado Springs and Pueblo are indeed using these methods; resulting materials are considered hazardous materials; everyone who works in water collection is seeing PFAS especially in industrial areas; PFAS exists in some fire retardant chemicals (Mr. Schlam clarified that Fort Collins uses fire suppression chemicals that do not contain PFAS, while some fire departments especially those at airports do use PFAS-containing fire suppression chemicals; Poudre Fire Authority stopped using PFAS-containing fire suppression foam years ago). b. Regular Items i. Michigan Ditch Forest Health and Pre-Fire Mitigation Project: Phase 2 The City owns Michigan Ditch, a critical water supply infrastructure located near Cameron Pass within Colorado State Forest State Park. Watershed Program staff along with regional partners from the Colorado State Forest Service and Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently completed a multi-phase Michigan Ditch Pre-Fire Mitigation Plan. The plan identifies forest thinning treatments that will help reduce the risk to the Michigan Ditch infrastructure and water supply from future large-scale wildfires. The Watershed Program was recently awarded a $1 million grant from the Colorado Department of Natural Resources to implement the project’s Phase 2 (scheduled for 2026-2028), which will include up to an additional 180 acres of targeted forest treatments designed to create fuels breaks and reduce the risk of future large-scale wildfires reaching the ditch from the north and west. Watershed Program Manager Richard Thorp presented the project’s Phase 1 to the Water Commission last year. He returned to provide an overview of Phase 2 including the Forest Health and Pre -Fire Mitigation Project, and request a recommendation from Water Commission that City Council approve accepting the grant and entering into an intergovernmental agreement regarding the project’s Phase 2 services. The project is in strategic alignment with City Plan’s Environmental Health Outcome and the City Council Priority to “protect community water systems in an integrated way to ensure resilient water resources and healthy watersheds.” Discussion Highlights: Commissioners commented on or inquired about various related topics including clarifying the grant is already 04/17/2025 DRAFT UNAPPROVED MINUTES Page 4 of 5 approved; expense of hauling out timber (Mr. Thorp responded that the goal is to reduce fuel); a match of $317,000 from the watershed protection budget (from the Water Fund’s Utilities capital improvement fund); staff plans to apply for another grant this fall that if awarded would mean the Water Fund would not have to be used; clarifying that no other cities or other water providers are contributing money to the project; the observation that one state entity is giving a grant, and staff is processing it and giving that money to another state agency; whether the U.S. Forest Service is doing similar work (Mr. Thorp replied that they’re not as it relates to this project, which is part of a larger landscape-level effort; Watershed Specialist Jared Heath presented the wildfire readiness project to the Water Commission last year). Commissioner Herman moved for Water Commission to recommend that City Council formally approve of the City entering into the Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Michigan Ditch Forest Health and Pre-Fire Mitigation Project Phase-2 Services through the Colorado State Forest Service and accepting the Colorado Department of Natural Resources’ Colorado Strategic Wildfire Program Grant. Commissioner Ng seconded the motion Vote on the motion: it passed unanimously, 7-0 9. OTHER BUSINESS a. Commissioner Reports i. Commissioner Steed shared that he attended the Colorado Rural Water Association conference in Loveland that featured many exhibits and interesting information on technologies of the day. ii. Commissioner Kahn shared an update on a presentation by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) on the greenback cutthroat recovery program at the headwaters of the Poudre River that the project will begin in August in Grand Ditch and its tributaries above Long Draw Reservoir in Poudre Canyon, and that CPW and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will formally notify the City soon. iii. A commissioner inquired about whether the City was impacted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s recent termination of the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant programs. Staff Liaison Jill Oropeza responded that the City’s Environmental Planning Department received a large BRIC grant for nature-based stormwater solutions; staff received assurance that the project can continue. b. Officer Elections at May 15 regular meeting i. Chair and Vice Chair 04/17/2025 DRAFT UNAPPROVED MINUTES Page 5 of 5 A. Chairperson Radin asked commissioners to consider volunteering for chair or vice chair, and encouraged them to contact him and Commissioner Herman who has served as vice chair in the past with any questions about these roles. Staff and the two officers meet one week before the monthly regular meeting. He shared that he’s found it to be a very fulfilling role, and that staff provides a lot of support. 10. ADJOURNMENT a. 6:33 PM Minutes will be approved by the Chair and a vote of the Water Commission on May 15, 2025. 1745 Hoffman Mill Road PO Box 580, Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 1 MEMORANDUM Date: May 15, 2025 To: Water Commission Through: Katie Donahue, Natural Areas Director From: Julia Feder, Conservation and Stewardship Planning Manager Subject: Water Commission Recommendation of Natural Areas Strategic Framework Summary The Natural Areas Strategic Framework serves as a systemwide guide for Natural Areas planning and management over the next 10-20 years. It updates the vision, values, and goals that provide the foundation for tactical and action-oriented planning that occurs through Management Zone Updates, while aligning with the City’s broader values and strategic policies. As a follow up to the February 20, 2025 Water Commission meeting, this memo provides an overview of feedback received on the draft plan and summarizes changes made to the final plan. Suggested Motion for Water Commission I move that the Water Commission recommends City Council adopt the 2025 Natural Areas Strategic Framework. The Water Commission has been engaged throughout the Strategic Framework planning process and believes this plan will be a sound guide to support Natural Areas and citywide planning for the decade to come. Overview of Draft Plan Engagement The Natural Areas Strategic Framework draft was available for public comment from February 18-March 31, 2025. The public could access and comment on the plan via the Our City website. Staff also promoted public review through the Natural Areas e-news, via social media, and participation in community events such as Winter Bike to Work Day. In addition, staff gathered targeted feedback from boards and commissions including the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board, Water Commission, Natural Resource Advisory Board, Air Quality Advisory Board, and the Active Modes Advisory Board. Staff notified all community members that supported previous engagement efforts, including focus group and technical advisory committee members, as well as representatives from partner City departments, regional agencies, and aligned partner organizations. These efforts resulted in: • More than 1,200 visits to the Natural Areas Strategic Framework webpage on Our City • More than 500 clicks to view the Strategic Framework • Approximately 50 detailed comments and suggestions 2 Feedback Themes Overall, commenters expressed strong support for the draft, describing it as comprehensive, engaging, and reflective of the department’s priorities and vision. Feedback broadly addressed key themes such as conservation values, the balance between resource protection and visitor use, and how the framework would inform future planning and project work. The table below summarizes major themes and how staff addressed them in the final plan: Feedback Theme Updates to final plan grammar updates Edits to wording made Desire to see more actionable items described in plan Conservation and Stewardship planning process clarify the role of the Strategic Framework and other NAD plans measurable outcomes track progress and project plans other City priorities and plans City priorities and plans Requests for specificity around conservation values drive conservation work including habitat protection, cultural resources, agriculture, and access “recreation” appear more frequently in the framework language related to trail connectivity and human access to reflect a focus on connecting the community with nature Next Steps Water Commission may make a recommendation to City Council in advance of the July 1, 2025, City Council meeting to adopt the Natural Areas Strategic Framework. cc: Jill Oropeza, Staff Liaison to the Water Commission and Senior Director of Integrated Water Sciences and Planning Nicole Poncelet-Johnson, One Water Executive Director Headline Copy Goes Here Conservation and Stewardship Planning Manager Natural Areas Department Julia Feder Natural Areas Strategic Framework: Water Commission Recommendation 05.15.2025 Headline Copy Goes HereSuggested Motion: Water Commission Recommendation 2 I move that the Water Commission recommends City Council adopt the 2025 Natural Areas Strategic Framework.

Payroll correcting entry was not completed in April. Upon payroll correcting entry, personnel expected to be overbudget based on Assumed Vacancy factor applied city-wide. Supplies under $25 that is attributed to lower demand for Chemicals, offset by higher costs in vehicle/equipment and health/safety supplies. Overspend continues to be associated with 2024 Street and Bridge Services, Traffic Control Services, and Sand and Gravel Supplies that hit in Q1 2025. Considering the significant $amount that should have been accrued back to 2024 overspend expected to continue. Addition of 2025 watermain breaks was offset by underspend in Fuel by $11 and Tools by $19. Professional technical services under $79, associated with consulting services being under offset by high legal services. High legal services in Q1 and April in response to trial preparation. Based on trial now projected for 2026, legal costs will slow through year, with future costs anticipated to be within total 2025 annual budget. Water Assessment charges over ($193) due to Q1 charge hitting in April. Overage in Water Assessments offset by smaller underspend in other cost categories. Legal Services over ($34) for the Open International lawsuit, with appeal filed by defendant pending outcome. PILOTs (Payment In Lieu Of Taxes) are 6% of operating revenues that are paid to the General Fund.
