Councilmember Martinez moved approval of the February 16, 2016 minutes and Councilmember Cunniff seconded. Minutes were adopted without amendment. Chief Demint provided information on HB16-1088, which was amended to reflect compromise between stakeholders. He stated that the Colorado Municipal League is supportive of the amended language. HB16-1088 is a bill that would allow a Fire Protection District Impact Fee on New Development. LRC amended its position to adopt a support position. Chief Demint also shared a copy of HB16-1283 for LRC consideration. This bill is intended to Decrease Water Loss from Domestic Water Suppliers and is a concern for Poudre Fire. LRC asked that staff circulate the bill for comment and consideration at the next LRC meeting. Dan reviewed bills from the General Assembly. He shared that to date nearly 470 bills have been introduced. HB16-1078 is a proposal that would provide Local Gov Employee Whistleblower Protection. This bill was briefly discussed and LRC agreed this is impeding on the city’s sovereignty. LRC adopted an oppose position as more information is gathered. HB16-1114 would Repeal Duplicate Reporting Requirements. LRC decided this is a low priority for the city. LRC adopted a monitor position. HB16-1155 provides Controlled-access Highway As County Primary Road. Dan explained that this would give counties the authority to grant or deny access to the highway; and the placement of all traffic control signals, unless the municipality obtains the county’s approval in writing. LRC adopted an oppose position. HB16-1231 pertains to Restricting The Use Of Red Light Cameras. LRC discussed that this bill amends existing law on the use of red light cameras, and agreed that this legislation would have no impact on the city. LRC adopted a monitor position. 2  HB16-1262 would permit a Law Enforcement Backg'd Check Employment Waiver. This bill will allow the candidate’s previous law enforcement agency employers to disclose all files pertaining to the applicant. LRC adopted a support position.  HB16-1263 would enact a Racial Profiling Prohibition. Racial profiling by a peace officer, under current law, is already prohibited; this bill updates the previously used language. LRC adopted a monitor position.  HB16-1264 would Ban Law Enforcement Use Of Chokehold. Fort Collins Police Services has already banned the use of chokeholds by peace officers. LRC adopted a monitor position.  HB16-1265 is endeavoring to Expunge Arrest Records Based On Mistaken Identity. This bill would require law enforcement agencies to file a petition to expunge the arrest record of a person who was arrested as a result of mistaken identity. LRC adopted a monitor position.  SB16-067 creates a Broadband Personal Property Tax Exemption. Dan explained that this bill does not specify new equipment or expansion of existing service. LRC adopted an oppose position.  SB16-080 creates Marijuana Grows Enclosed Space Requirements. This bill applies the same legal definition of “enclosed, locked space” growing requirement used for recreational marijuana for medical marijuana. LRC adopted a support position.  SB16-129 would permit more Neutral Oversight Of Oil And Gas Activities. This bill would change the language of a task force created by the Governor. LRC adopted a support position. Dan was asked to reach out to City staff to ensure that they provide feedback on bills for LRC to consider. This point was very important to members as there were several bills discussed without staff comments. LRC expressed a desire for more information from City staff. LRC provided feedback on the February 19 legislative meeting. Comments included:  Time of year was better - February works better than December  Format was good  Productive meeting  Room layout was good – it was nice to see all participants  By meeting in General Assembly session it was good chance to “fact check” and respond to bills  In the future, it would be helpful for LRC to determine the top 3-5 topics for discussion and better control the discussion. Use the time for City priorities. LRC briefly discussed the National League of Cities, Congressional Conference occurring in March 6-9. The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 pm.
