The proposed timeline will also be discussed. GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED 1. What feedback do Councilmembers have regarding the process for filling the District 6 vacancy? 2. Do Councilmembers have any concerns with the proposed timeline? 3. What feedback do Councilmembers have about the process and timeline for selecting a new Mayor Pro Tem? BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Council has filled six vacancies since 1992. The process used has differed over time as noted in the more detailed background information shown below. In contrast to most other Council appointment processes, there are some important Charter requirements that govern the process for filling this vacancy. Revised requirements were approved by the voters at the recent November 4 election and provide, in part, that: a. If a district Councilmember office becomes vacant, the vacancy will be publicly and promptly announced on the City’s website; and b. If a district Councilmember office becomes vacant, Council then has 35 business days to choose a new member; and c. The office that has been vacated will appear on the next regular municipal election ballot for which the process requirements can be met. In this case, the date of the vacancy will be January 13, 2026, the day Mayor Pro Tem Francis will be sworn in as Mayor. This gives Council until March 5, 2026 to fill the vacancy since there are two City holidays within that timeframe. Page 3 Item 1. City Council Work Session Agenda Item Summary – City of Fort Collins Page 2 of 7 Timeline: This timeline reflects the goal of having a Councilmember appointed and sworn in prior to the Council retreat proposed to start the weekend of January 23rd.

The purpose of this item is to annex an enclave of approximately 35.036 acres located in southeast Fort Collins. The Initiating Resolution 2018-110 was adopted on consent, November 20, 2018. The property abuts Kechter Road to the south and is bisected by Strauss Cabin Road. The parcels consist primarily of single-family residences with related agricultural outbuilding and a place of worship known as Crossroads Church. City of Fort Collins Page 14 Page 23 Item 1. January 15, 2019 John Hatfield opposed the annexation stating it will not benefit the City or current residents of the area. He requested Council oppose the annexation and presented a petition from other neighbors opposed to the annexation. Mayor Troxell requested staff address this action. Ted Shepard, Chief Planner, replied state.statute allows municipalities to conduct enclave annexations per their requirements._ He noted these properties have been enclaved since 2009 and the City has made it a practice to annex enclaves as they become eligible. He stated these annexations are a growth management technique in that they allow municipalities to govern with consistent services. Councilmember Martinez asked why this would benefit the City. Shepard replied City Police would not respond to these properties in the case they do not become annexed and police response times are less than Larimer County Sheriff's Department. Additionally, this will prevent competing regulations from occurring within the same geographic area. City Manager Atteberry noted the annexation is consistent with the City's intergovernmental agreement with Larimer County. Shepard stated the intergovernmental agreement states properties eligible for annexation should be developed to an urban level of standards. Councilmember Stephens thanked Mr.. Hatfield for his comments and asked if farming uses could be affected by the annexation. Shepard replied whatever use is being conducted on the property that is legal in Larimer County at the time of annexation can be grandfathered in as long as it is not discontinued for 24 consecutive months. Councilmember Cunniff asked about the status of County Road 7. Shepard replied the full width of the road will be annexed and there will be clear distinction as to who is responsible for long- term maintenance. Councilmember Cunniff noted road maintenance will likely be improved. Mayor Pro Tern Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to adopt Ordinance No. 009, 2019, on First Reading. Mayor Pro Tern Horak stated not annexing enclaves leads to poor planning; however, it is reasonable to review the process and history of these annexations. Councilmember Cunniff stated he would support the motion but acknowledged there can be issues around annexations for the residents. However, this annexation fits the policy.

January 15, 2019 The purpose of this item is to authorize conveyance of a transmission line easement to Roundhouse Renewable Energy, LLC on the City of Fort Collins' Wastewater Utility owned Meadow Springs Ranch and the right of access to the transmission line from County Roads 5 and 92 and private drives. The Roundhouse Renewable Energy Project will include an above ground 230 kilovolt transmission line from a wind energy facility in Wyoming to Platte River Power Authority's Rawhide Energy Station. Platte River Power Authority plans to deliver 150 megawatts (MW) of new wind power to its owner cities of Fort Collins; Loveland, Longmont and Estes Park. The 150-foot wide easement will run across 9.7 miles of Meadow Springs Ranch totaling an approximate 176.4 acres. Jason Graham, Water Reclamation and Biosolids Manager, stated this item authorizes the conveyance of a transmission line easement on Meadow Springs Ranch to Roundhouse Renewable Energy, LLC. The project connects a wind farm in Wyoming and the Rawhide Energy Station over the Meadow Springs Ranch property on a recommended route deemed to have the least impact on wildlife and vegetation, as it parallels 98% of existing infrastructure. Comments from open houses and boards were supportive of the easement. Graham noted Council requested more information on the burrowing owls in the area and staff found no studies that address the issue of the presence or avoidance of the owls due to transmission lines. Routes east of 1-25 would have more considerable impacts on vegetation as the route would not align with existing infrastructure to the same extent. Lucia Liley, attorney for Roundhouse Energy, LLC, stated the route selected is the best possible given circumstance's and noted there will be appropriate mitigation and restoration provisions. She stated the Fort Collins Partners for Clean Energy has endorsed the project. Fred Kirsch, Fort Collins Partners for Clean Energy, expressed support for the project as being a key" element in achieving the 100% renewable energy by 2030 goal. The chosen alignment minimizes the negative impacts of this project and noted four of the City's boards support the project. Peggy LaPoint supported the goal of obtaining electricity from renewable sources; however, she expressed concern about the impact of human activities on birds and stated she would rather electricity be generated using solar panels. She acknowledged the wind turbine electricity is cheaper and expressed support for the project. Pete Eberle, Colorado Renewable Energy Society, supported the project citing its positive impact on renewable energy goals. Joe Piesman discussed the wildlife and vegetation value of Meadow Springs Ranch and stated that while this project will cause ecological damage, addressing climate change is vital. He stated maximizing mitigation will be an important part of the project. Councilmember Cunniff suggested staff follow-up with information on the proposed route following 98% of existing infrastructure. City of Fort Collins Page 16 Page 25 Item 1. January 15, 2019 Mayor Pro Tern Horak made a motion;. seconded by Councilmember Martinez, to adopt Ordinance No. 004, 2019, on First Reading. Councilmember Cunniff stated this is a competing values issue and he would like to see additional research on the eastern route prior to expressing support for this route. He complimented staff on the ecological analysis of the property. Mayor Pro Tern Horak stated he would support the motion and commended the thorough analysis on minimizing impacts without escalating the project cost. Councilmember Stephens stated she would support the motion but acknowledged there are competing values. She commended the evaluation of alternative routes. Mayor Troxell stated he would support the motion and thanked all involved in work on the project. Councilmember Martinez stated he would support the motion citing the economic value and positive effect on quality of life. Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted one of the biggest limitations to getting renewable energy is the existence of transmission lines. Councilmember Summers stated negative impacts are being mitigated to the greatest extent possible in order for the project to realize the greatest benefit.
