City Council
STAFF
Elizabeth Blythe, Senior Public Engagement Coordinator
Carrie Daggett, City Attorney
Delynn Coldiron, City Clerk
SUBJECT
Resolution 2021-058 Discontinuing the City's Leadership Committee with Colorado State University.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to discontinue the City/CSU Leadership Committee.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
In 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution 1998-159, authorizing the formation of a liaison committee with
CSU to facilitate on-going, close communication among the policy makers and administrative staff of the City
and the administration, faculty and students of CSU.
In 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 2014-118, establishing a new City of Fort Collins/CSU
Leadership Committee comprised of leadership from both entities, intended to facilitate high -level
communications between the two entities.
Resolution 2014-118 also modified the City/CSU Liaison Committee so it is comprised of staff of the two
entities, with the intent that it continue meeting on a quarterly basis to discuss operational issues, resulting in
improved understanding of and cooperation in resolving student/neighborhood issues.
Although Council made initial appointments to the City/CSU Leadership Committee, the committee structure
did not prove to be a suitable means for fostering ongoing communications and coordination by organization
leaders.
Council desires to discontinue the City/CSU Leadership Committee and to instead emphasize less formal
efforts to coordinate and collaborate with CUS leaders.
