CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
6:00 PM
A) CALL MEETING TO ORDER
B) ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Council Meeting Rules of Procedure Update.
The purpose of this item is to consider updates to the Council Meeting Rules of Procedure that
ensure the public has the opportunity to speak on all agenda items, provide general public
comment, and allow the Council to effectively execute the business of the City.
2. 2024 Legislative Wrap-Up.
The purpose of this item is to provide a high-level review of bills that passed during the 2024
legislative session with particular focus on impacts to the City. The PowerPoint and agenda item
summary highlight bills that will require staff and/or Council action. The attachment provides these
and other bills and their descriptions.
3. Traffic Safety Initiative – Automated Vehicle Identification System (AVIS) Corridors.
The purpose of this item is to recommend a proposal from Police Services and Planning,
Development and Transportation (PDT), supported by the City Attorney's Office (CAO), and
Municipal Court. This proposal stems from recent changes to Colorado law related to the expanded
use of unmanned speed enforcement with Automated Vehicle Identification Systems (AVIS), on
sections of roadways designated by the Council as speed corridors. The initiative's primary goal is
to promote traffic safety through speed enforcement and supports Vision Zero, the Council's goal
of eliminating Fort Collins roadway fatalities and reducing injury crashes.
A fundamental portion of the recommended changes are to municipal codes 1106 and 615. If
approved, this will result in Council being able to identify "speed corridors" based on complaints,
citations and crash data provided by City staff. If Council identifies speed corridors, Police Services
can utilize photo speed enforcement (AVIS), in the designated speed corridors. Without a speed
corridor designation, updated State law limits the use of AVIS on roadways described as
construction zones, school zones, neighborhoods, and roadways adjacent to city parks.

Based on preliminary data collected for the proposed corridors and if all red-light cameras are also
adopted as corridors, the system will increase the number of citations issued and increases the
AVIS fund balance. The increase of citations will generate additional work for the City Attorney's
office and Municipal Court. To offset this impact, a budgeting for outcomes (BFO) offer, funded
entirely by this program, will be submitted to increase personnel at the CAO, Municipal Court, and
PDT.
