City Council Work Session
March 23, 2021
(After the Adjourned Council meeting, which begins at 6:00 p.m.)
CALL TO ORDER.
1. Connexion Update. (staff: Erin Shanley, Ginny Sawyer; 15 minute presentation; 15 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide Council and the public with an overview and update of the
Connexion municipal fiber buildout.
2. Municipal Immigration Legal Fund. (staff: JC Ward, Leo Escalante, Caryn Champine; 20 minute
presentation; 60 minute discussion)
The purpose of this work session item is to provide Council with information requested on the need for
immigration legal services in Fort Collins, existing municipal immigration legal fund implementation
and funding models, and alignment of potential solutions with our community-specific needs.
3. Wastewater Utility Overview. (staff: Theresa Connor; 20 minute presentation; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide an overview of the Fort Collins Wastewater Utility. Wastewater
Utility collects, treats, and either discharges or reuses the effluent from approximately one-third of the
city’s residents and businesses. On average, 14 million gallons of sewage is treated every day.
Treatment exceeds standards required for discharge back into the Cache la Poudre River or Fossil
Creek Reservoir Inlet Ditch. This represents one of the largest investments the City makes in
City of Fort Collins Page 2
Environmental Health and Public Health outcomes for the city. The system is in relatively good shape,
however, investment in the aging sewer system and the treatment plants to meet increased
environmental regulations will be needed in future years. It should be noted that the Clean Water
Industry as well as Utilities staff continue to see this service as less “waste” and more of a resource
recovery opportunity. This overview will cover how the Utility is recovering nutrients, energy and water
(ReNEW) from the raw sewage. In the near future, it is expected that these services will be referred
to as the “ReNEWal Utility” or “Resource Recovery Utility”.
4. Staff Report: Winter Storm Xylia Impacts on Water Supply and Quality (staff: Matt Zoccali)
Presentation to be provided as a read-before memo.
