STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The purpose of this item is to provide Council with the opportunity to select a new Mayor Pro Tem. In the past,
this has been done by Councilmembers indicating their interest in the role, followed by motions and voting until
a majority of Council has selected a new Mayor Pro Tem.
This item also allows Council to appoint replacements for former Mayor Pro Tem Kristin Stephens to the
Poudre Fire Authority Board, the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization Planning Council, the
General Employees’ Retirement Committee and the Ad-Hoc Strategic Housing Committee. These were
determined to be critical appointments that needed to be filled as soon as possible either due to the need to
have an experienced Councilmember in the role and/or due to pressing projects/workload that are underway.
The majority of these appointments were made on May 21, 2019 through Resolution 2019-065. (Attachment
1) Mayor Pro Tem Stephens submitted a letter of resignation on November 30, 2020, effective at the end of
December 2020, after she was elected to serve on the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners,
beginning on January 12, 2021.
The remaining vacancies in various board and commission liaison assignments, Council committees and other
representative roles will be determined once a new Councilmember has been appointed to fill the District 4
vacancy. A separate Resolution will be presented to Council for these appointments.
The Resolution attached includes blanks for each appointment that will need to be filled in with the name of the
