Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent Calendar consists of: ● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine; ● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine; ● Those of no perceived controversy; ● Routine administrative actions. If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled Consent Items:   (1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading “Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.” (2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda. (3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote. (4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items. 1.

City of Fort Collins Page 8 16. Items Related to the Conveyance of a Restrictive Notice on Portions of Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area in Connection with Remediation of Environmental Contamination at the Larimer County Landfill. A. Resolution 2021-103 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and The Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado Related to Restrictive Notice Reporting Requirements. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 159, 2021 Authorizing Conveyance of Notices of Environmental Use Restrictions to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on Portions of Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area in Connection with Remediation of Groundwater Contamination from the Larimer County Landfill. The purpose of this item is to authorize conveyance of two Restrictive Notices to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”): one applicable to parcels located in Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area (“CFP Natural Area”) owned solely by Fort Collins (the “Fort Collins Restrictive Notice”) and one applicable to parcels located in CFP Natural Area owned jointly by Fort Collins and Larimer County (the “Joint Restrictive Notice”). The parcels are located near the Larimer County Landfill and are impacted by contaminated groundwater emanating from the Landfill. The Restrictive Notices are requested by Larimer County in connection with its remediation of the Landfill environmental contamination. They prohibit certain activities and uses that could create exposure to contaminants from groundwater and are intended to protect public health while permitting CDPHE to apply less stringent cleanup standards for two (but not all) contaminants of concern, likely reducing the cost of the remediation. While the Restrictive Notices will limit uses and activities on portions of CFP Natural Area, such restrictions will only encumber a relatively small portion of CFP Natural Area. Further, the Natural Areas Department has determined that the restrictions will not significantly impact the use, operation, and management of the CFP Natural Area. The Restrictive Notices require annual compliance reporting to CDPHE. Because Larimer County has requested the Restrictive Notices and will be on the Fort Collins Parcels (as well as the other parcels), conducting testing and remediation activities, the Resolution approves an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) with Larimer County under which Larimer County agrees to certify to Fort Collins that the County has complied with the Restrictive Notice while on the Fort Collins Parcels, will be responsible for any non-compliance and will pay any applicable fees imposed by CDPHE in connection with the annual compliance reporting requirements. Important Note: Larimer County, in cooperation with CDPHE, has posted the Restrictive Notices for a 30-day public comment period. CDPHE will review any public comment received and may request changes to the Restrictive Notices based on that comment. Any such changes will be presented to Council at second reading. 17.
