7. NEW BUSINESS
a. Discussion with Mayor Pro Tem Emily Francis, HRC Council Liaison
(**Secretary’s Note: This item occurred first in the agenda.)
Commission member Prieto asked Mayor Pro Tem Francis about the impacts
8/14/25 – MINUTES
to the City of recent federal regulatory and other actions. Mayor Pro Tem
Francis stated the biggest risk to the City as an organization is loss of funding,
with the largest part being transit. She noted that the City is still moving
forward with how it has always handled DEI initiatives. In terms of the
community overall, there is a great deal of fear, instability, and uncertainty.
Mayor Pro Tem Francis commented on the importance of intentionally
rebuilding community, particularly after the pandemic.
Chair Jaeger asked how the State’s budget cuts will impact the City. Mayor
Pro Tem Francis replied that it is uncertain and noted the City also has an $11
million shortfall.
Chair Jaeger asked how decisions about cuts will be made. Mayor Pro Tem
Francis replied that has yet to come before Council but noted all budget
decisions are made in a thoughtful manner.
Commission member Prieto asked about the reasons for the City’s budget
shortfall. Mayor Pro Tem Francis replied it is due to declining sales tax
revenue. Additionally, Fort Collins is shifting to an older demographic and
older adults spend less.
Commission member Brossus asked about how Council prioritizes
engagement of different types of populations. Mayor Pro Tem Francis outlined
the recommendation of the Community Impact Committee to create the Equity
Office and stated Council has leaned into that Office as the experts and its
staff have helped engage communities that were previously not contacted.
Commission member Brossus asked what types of populations are being
recommended for engagement by the Equity Office. Messenger replied there
will be an update to the Equity Indicators Dashboard in the next few weeks,
and that will help identify where there are populations that are not being
reached and where improvements need to be made. She noted the HRC is
viewed as an extension of the Equity Office and will help to further the reach of
staff. She stated the events sponsored by the HRC are hitting target
audiences. However, Messenger noted staff are watching federal guidance
and case law extremely carefully in order to insulate the City and community.
She also noted DEI is not used in hiring or firing decisions and is only used for
educational purposes.
Messenger stated staff will continue to meet the priorities of Council to reach
vulnerable populations and remove barriers. She stated educating the
community with the equity indicators will bring more conversation to the topic.
Chair Jaeger asked how the community will be made aware of the dashboard
updates. Messenger replied it will be done through storytelling and perhaps
some information sessions. She noted there has been work done to get all the
City’s dashboards on the same platform to provide consistency. She also
commented on the Equity Plan, which is due for a refresh in 2026, and three
equity goals.
Mayor Pro Tem Francis noted the City is focusing on removing barriers for
8/14/25 – MINUTES
unengaged populations.
A member asked if the City is partnering with other cities or the County to help
bridge scarce resources when considering community building. Mayor Pro
Tem Francis replied the City is getting more intentional about the resources
piece and commented on the Cost of Change program with the City, County,
Poudre School District, UC Health, CSU, and others regarding federal and
state cuts. She noted the City has historically not done much intentional
community building.
Messenger commented on a temporary project out of the City Manager’s
Office around public engagement as a whole. She stated the hope is to learn
more about how community connections can be improved.
Commission member Cribelli asked about the Governor’s executive order
withholding $280 million until communities in Colorado show they are working
on affordable housing. Mayor Pro Tem Francis replied the issue relates to not
prioritizing grant funding for cities that are not in compliance with state law,
including things like allowing accessory dwelling units, removing parking
minimums, and completing a housing needs assessment and a housing
opportunity index. She noted some municipalities are refusing to come into
compliance; however, Fort Collins is in compliance.
A member asked about ICE activity within the Fort Collins area. Messenger
replied Police Chief Swoboda has indicated increased visibility of ICE in the
community. She noted members of the immigrant community are not coming
out as a result.
Commission member Prieto asked how community and community building
are defined. Mayor Pro Tem Francis replied everyone has different
communities within the overall community and stated community building has
historically not been a focus of the City, though what cities focus on changes
over time. She stated community building is an area the City can facilitate and
commented on Fort Collins not having activities that do not focus on traditional
families or drinking. She stated she would like to see a Council priority around
non-drinking community events and creating opportunities for people to
connect and engage.
A member asked if the Equity Office is having conversations about how to
connect community members who are intentionally not attending community
events. Messenger replied there is a Community Connectors group, which is
an all-Spanish language group, meets monthly now online. She stated
providing alternatives to typical meetings is a place that can help further build
that community; however, it will be a challenge until there is more safety and
security for those individuals.
Mayor Pro Tem Francis commended the Commission on its events and focus
on the community.
Chair Jaeger outlined the HRC’s upcoming events and commented on the
joint meeting with other Boards and Commissions.
8/14/25 – MINUTES
b. Follow-up: July 16th NoCo Community Connections and Belonging
picnic and collaboration with the JEDI Coalition
Vice Chair Kistler noted 135 people attended the event and she thanked
everyone for their help, including Fatima Prieto who gathered and summarized
the table conversation comments.
Fatima Prieto, Larimer County Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Advisory Board,
provided a summary of the conversations, including defining belonging,
highlighting the importance of acceptance and safety, authenticity, connection
and shared purpose, participation and recognition, inclusive spaces, open
communication, empathy and absence of judgment, accessible and
welcoming spaces, and active removal of barriers. She stated indicators of not
belonging included feeling lonely, isolated, anxious, and frustrated.
Additionally, she commented on the conversations around ways to strengthen
belonging, including language justice, universal design, childcare,
transportation, affordable housing, community engagement with more free and
cultural events, volunteer opportunities, and visible support.
Prieto went on to discuss what people mentioned they are doing for self-care,
including wellness and mindfulness, exercise, creative hobbies, journaling,
therapy, quality time with friends and family, volunteering, and limiting
technology use.
Vice Chair Kistler noted the Commission had made a commitment to share the
information with the County EDI Advisory Board and JEDI Coalition as well as
with the City and County leadership and Mayor Pro Tem Francis. She asked
members if they were still comfortable with sharing the summarized
comments. Chair Jaeger replied in the affirmative given that was the intention.
She asked what the goals are in terms of sharing the information. Vice Chair
Kistler replied it was meant to be shared for event planning purposes,
particularly the JEDI Coalition’s event with the CSU Symposium around
belonging.
Commission member Wilford suggested adding data information in terms of
who attended and specific numbers of who replied with what responses.
Vice Chair Kistler noted the previous report was sent out in hard copy and
electronically.
Commission member Brossus suggested it could be appropriate or impactful
to use the data to make recommendations related to the importance of
belonging to members of the community.
Commission member Prieto commented on the importance of highlighting the
value of the information and how it can assist in certain areas.
Messenger commented on the importance of properly wording things given
current DOJ recommendations.
8/14/25 – MINUTES
Vice Chair Kistler will work with Commission member Wilford and Prieto to
create a draft version of the report that will be brought before the Commission
at September’s meeting.
Chair Jaeger summarized the discussion to this point and thanked
Commission member Wilford, Vice Chair Kistler, Fatima Prieto, and other
partners.
Vice Chair Kistler noted one of the event’s participants asked if the City would
consider looking into becoming part of WelcomingAmerica.org, which is a
dues-paying organization communities can opt into. She stated their work
relates to creating belonging and a sense of well-being in communities.
Messenger replied it is unlikely the City would join on given it requires dues.
c. Update: September Boards and Commissions Joint Meeting
Chair Jaeger stated the next joint meeting between the HRC, Disability
Advisory Board, Women and Gender Equity Advisory Board, and Senior
Advisory Board will be at the end of September. She noted it was
recommended that Davina Lau from the City Clerk’s Office be invited to that
meeting as training Board and Commission members will be discussed.
d. Update: 2026 Human Library Program
Chair Jaeger stated she and Vice Chair Kistler will be meeting with partners at
the Museum on August 20th, though she did not yet know if the County grant
was received for the Program. Additionally, the Museum wants to discuss a
program (“Handwriting the Constitution”) it is considering sponsoring next year
related to observing the United States 250th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th
anniversary.
8. OLD BUSINESS
a. Committee Reports
• Community Recognition: Update re: December 11, 2025, Human
Relations Awards
Commission member Bryan noted nomination forms are not due until
October 31st and requested members share the call for nominations
memo with their personal and professional networks by August 31st.
She stated program planning will begin in September and noted the
large format email will go out from the Commission at the end of
August.
• Educational Outreach: Update re: October 23rd Neurodiversity
Educational Program
Commission member Brossus noted the communications timeline for
the neurodiversity event has been updated. He stated he and
8/14/25 – MINUTES
Commission member Cribelli met to confirm the panelists for the
event and noted a caregiver is still being sought.
Messenger noted the Equity Office has just put together a packet
about how to make presentations accessible and stated it will be
updated based on revised information.
Commission member Brossus asked if there have been any updates
from City Give or the City Attorney’s Office about donations for
events. Messenger replied that the HRC can accept food donations
and other contributions, but she recommended having donations go
to the Equity Office given the limits an individual Commission
member can receive.
Chair Jaeger asked Commission member Brossus when he will work
with CPIO to get the RSVP registration put together. Commission
member Brossus replied the first communication will go out in late
September, though fliers will be completed before that.
• Government Relations: Update
Commission member Prieto commented on the State’s $1.2 billion
budget shortfall and noted there will be a special session of the
General Assembly beginning August 21st that will focus on how to
address the shortfall. She stated the reason for the shortfall is that
Colorado attaches its taxation to federal taxation, and the recently
passed “Big Beautiful Bill” provides tax cuts for corporations and
individuals which is then rippling down to the State. She stated it is
unclear what the cuts will mean for community services and
programs.
Members discussed the two conflicting November ballot measures
related to the Hughes Stadium property.
• Executive: Update
Chair Jaeger noted the DAB awards nomination period ends
tomorrow.
9. ANNOUNCEMENTS
Fatima Prieto stated the Larimer County Commissioners have decided to rename the
County EDI Advisory Board to possibly the Human Rights Advisory Board or Human
Relations Advisory Board.
Messenger noted the County receives much more federal funding than the City and
clarified Fort Collins is not a sanctuary city.
Messenger noted Claudia Menendez will be attending the September meeting as the
liaison. She urged members to look at the Equity Indicators Dashboard prior to it
being updated.
8/14/25 – MINUTES
Messenger also noted the Mayor would like to attend a Commission meeting prior to
December. Members discussed inviting her to the October meeting.
