SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 067, 2022, Making Supplemental Appropriation and Authorizing Transfers fr om
the General Fund of the State Historical Fund Grant to Produce a Historic Context Report of Civil Rights in Fort
Collins.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $86,600 in grant funding received from the State Historical Fund,
awarded by History Colorado on March 7, 2022, and $7,530 in required matching funds from the 2022 Historic
Preservation Division survey grants budget to produce a history of civil rights in Fort Collins, a preliminary list
of associated, significant properties for planning purposes, and a prioritized list of related future projects.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
This project prepares a context report on the history of civil rights activities in Fort Collins. This thematic
context will outline the specific movements in support of civil rights of underrepresented groups and provide an
intersectional understanding of how they relate to each other and to the broader history of the com munity. The
project will also identify related historic resources that warrant future intensive -level surveys to determine their
relative importance to Fort Collins' history. That list will form the basis for educational tours and other
opportunities, including landmark designation. A list of related future projects that will serve the goal
recognizing the stories of historically excluded groups in Fort Collins will also be included for planning
purposes.
This project directly implements portions of the City Strategic Plan by promoting the Equity, Inclusion and
Diversity goals, “of cultivating a safe and welcoming community focusing on equitable engagement, outcomes
and service delivery for all, leading with race.”
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance will appropriate a total of $94,130 in the General Fund to prepare a historic context report on
the history of civil rights in Fort Collins. These funds include $86,600 in grant funds awarded on March 7, 2022 ,
from the State Historical Fund of History Colorado, and $7,530 from the survey grants matching funds line in
the Historic Preservation Division's 2022 Budget in the General Fund. Because the project includes a final
phase of prioritized recommendations from consultants and community members, it will pro vide a tool for
targeting meaningful future offshoot projects that will allow the City to maximize any further investment of
funds.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
Grant application preparation in 2020 and 2021 included outreach to targeted stakeholder community groups
and individuals (BIack, Latinx, LGBTQIA, Jewish, AAPI, and Women's groups) to gauge interest in the project,

Ten individuals have agreed to serve on the committee and act as community connectors for the project to

FCMOD, and other entities is also on board for the project.
