(2) Siphon bridge install next month, will keep the Board updated on installation date. (3) HVAC Systems Updates: Collindale needed added ventilation in the basement to avoid hydrogen gas build up. Because the HVAC system for the whole building is tied together the upstairs was redesigned as well. The kitchen renovation is scheduled to start in January, which will cause a 10-day closure of CB & Potts. Southridge will also need it’s HVAC system updated. (4) Work is being done to acquire water for Southridge. There are shared sites with Poudre School District where some water shares could be acquired.

A liner will be installed in this pipe to seal and prevent further damage. • Discussed revenue year over year and the effect of the City Park 9 chemical application error had on revenue. • Working towards installing golf cart paths on courses to allow golf carts to be used even when there is a weather event that would normally prevent the carts from being able to go out. • Currently doing a study at Collindale with autonomous mowers.

Since that time, the CMT has served the parks and recreation teams throughout the year with support in several areas of communications, marketing, event planning, public engagement outreach and more. Highlighted below are a few key takeaways from work completed in 2025: • Digital Transformation: As the City is working towards the launch of an exciting new website this month, the CMT has been evaluating and completing the transfer of information on webpages for all of Parks and Recreation. This process, which started earlier this year, has included a robust evaluation of current content, several rounds of editing/rewriting, updating photography and many 1x1 meetings with teams and content managers to ensure accuracy and improved efficiency. This City-wide project is being led by our Communications and Public Involvement Office, but has required a large chunk of our team’s time and efforts throughout the year. The anticipated launch date of the new website is December 10 and will be found at the updated URL: www.fortcollins.gov. • Innovation and Expansion on Social Media: With the addition of another team member earlier this year, the CMT has focused some work on expanding our social media reach through the increased use of video, integration of a more playful tone/voice, and higher frequency of posting. We have already seen an increase in our overall impressions on several reels, events and posts. This strategy is intentional in working to grow our audience (both in reach and demographics) by utilizing a mix of video/static photos, aligning to the Council priority of making government more fun and accessible. • Cultivating Community Through Events: We’re excited to look back on another year full of fun events! A few highlights include our day of July 4 activities, a month-long celebration of National Park & Recreation Month, a refreshed Kids in the Park format, (our family-fave) Treatsylvania, and most recently – the Downtown Holiday Lighting Ceremony. While not finalized, we estimate the Downtown Holiday Lighting Ceremony event alone saw more than 10K people in attendance. These events take a great amount of planning and coordination amongst our internal City partners, as well as our sponsors and local businesses. The overall impact of events like these continue to elevate the Fort Collins experience, and the CMT is proud to be an integral part of these planning efforts. • Input and Action With Public Engagement: The CMT has supported public engagement efforts on several projects this year. Utilizing tactics such as the Our City engagement platform, in person meetings, social media tools, and online surveys/questionnaires, we have obtained valuable community input to help guide the work of our teams. A few current projects in the public engagement area that are still active include the Southeast Community Center, gate access discussions at EPIC, Landings Park updates, and upcoming improvements at Soft Gold park. Additionally, I sit on the City’s core team for the public engagement assessment that is underway and nearing completion. This exciting work is expected to inform and guide public engagement strategies for the City in the future. Looking Ahead Exciting work is on the horizon for Parks and Recreation after another year full of accomplishments and impressive milestones. With the passage of the Community Capital Improvement Program (CCIP) renewal, as well as the ongoing investment of the 2050 tax, there is no shortage of exciting projects in the queue that will require ongoing communication, marketing and public engagement. On a personal note, I would like to share that December 12 is my last day working with the City of Fort Collins. My family is making a cross-country move to Grand Rapids, Michigan to be closer to our parents and extended relatives. That being said, a transition plan is in place for the immediate needs of the Communications and Marketing team to ensure continuity of work. Please accept my sincere thanks for your support over the years, and all the ways you collectively invest in Parks and Recreation in Fort Collins.
