There was a slide presentation from Brian Woodruff of the Natural

From this information, the Board will be asked to give their input on this
plan as it is going to a City Council Work Session in November.
Highlights of the presentation were:
Four Main Parts of the Plan
1. Goal Statement - To continuously improve Fort Collins' air
quality as the city grows.
2. Priorities - Which pollutants are most important?
3. Objectives - Work in progress - Draft in October
- Used to measure effectiveness of
strategies.
- Auto objectives, Transportation planning
targets.
Main Points
1. Not just Carbon Monoxide
2. Community chosen objectives
Mr. Woodruff distributed a hand out showing the Transportation Strategy
Rating chart and explained how to read it.
4. SHORT TERM COMMITTEE - DISCUSSION OF NEATS PROJECT
The short term committee was not able to meet to discuss the NEATS
project, so their report has been deferred until the October meeting.
Board Member Valentine had a comment on bikelanes and the need to have a
bike route on College which is not included in the plan. There was
discussion about the NEATS alternatives and the inclusion of bikelanes in
them. There will be more discussion on this at the next Short Term
Committee meeting.
Board Member Reidhead expressed his interest in speaking to the Board at
a future meeting about a conference that he facilitated with the EPA, AAA
and 200 automobile executives to educate automobile technicians about
maintaining automobiles with the long range goal to improve air quality.
Board Member Lemesany confirmed that there will be a Short Term Committee
meeting soon. He will contact the Board Secretary, Cindy Scott, with that
information.
