WORK SESSION
March 24, 2009
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Update from Poudre River Public Library District, Including Current Funding, Strategic
Planning, Facility Planning and Impact Fee Continuation. (1 hour discussion)
The Poudre River Public Library District, f.k.a. the Fort Collins Regional Library
District, provides library services to approximately 170,000 residents of northern Larimer
County — 90% of which reside within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area. Funding is
primarily provided by a property tax rate of 3 mills and a portion of the City's sales tax
approved for the Building on Basics agenda. For 2009, total revenue is forecast to be
$8.4 million and the approved expenditure budget is $8 million.
Since 1996, the City has imposed an impact fee on residential building permits as a
means for growth to fund the increased demand for library services required by a
growing community. The construction of the new Council Tree Library was
substantially funded from the accumulation of these impact fees. The Intergovernmental
Agreement between the City and the District provided that the impact fees would
continue until the completion and payment for the costs of constructing this library.
3. Review of the 2008 Community Scorecard. (1 hour discussion)
The City of Fort Collins has implemented a broad ranging performance measurement
program in the last three years. One element of the program that is now being developed
is the Community Scorecard. The Scorecard outlines and provides information on the
City's organizational and community performance for the prior fiscal year, in this case,
2008. The Community Scorecard will be developed each year and discussed and shared
with City Council and the community to stimulate discussion about the City's
performance and priorities.
The Scorecard is a compilation of performance indicators that were indentified for each
key outcome in the City's Budgeting for Outcomes process. These indicators were
identified as being important in assessing performance related to the seven key outcomes
which include:
1. Economic Health
2. Environmental Health
3. Neighborhood Quality
4. Community Safety
5. Cultural and Recreational Opportunities
6. Transportation
7. High Performing Government
The Scorecard will present data and insight into how well the City performed in
implementing and advancing the concepts and vision around the key outcomes.
4. Other Business.
5. Adjournment.
