City Council Work Session
October 26, 2021
6:00 PM
• CALL TO ORDER.
1. Recovery Plan Overview. (staff: SeonAh Kendall; 15 minute presentation; 60 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide an overview of the Fort Collins Recovery Plan (The Plan) and
provide additional context of the American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund
(ARPA).
While our primary focus continues to be protecting the health and safety of our community, a return to
“business as usual” is not the goal of recovery. The Plan works to address the trauma that the COVID-
19 pandemic has had on our community, reduce future shocks, and focus on the inclusion and well-
being of our community to increase resilience and move toward a vibrant future.
As many communities begin to structure their recovery plans on ARPA expenditures, the City’s intent
is to be transformational vs transactional in recovery. The past 22+ months has shone a light on the
vast inequities and disparities in our community, but also sparked innovation and regional collaboration
to respond to the ever-changing health and economic circumstances.
A bottom-up community engagement approach is being utilized to inform the Plan. ARPA funds are
one tool to help the community achieve our vision that “Fort Collins residents and businesses are able
to participate in a resilient, vibrant and inclusive future.” The Plan seeks to leverage this historic
opportunity to make bold, long-term investments for recovery.
