The Windy Gap Firming Project (WGFP) is a regional project to provide water storage
capacity for various Northern Front Range water providers that own a portion of the
original Windy Gap Project. Although the City of Fort Collins is not a WGFP participant,
it receives Windy Gap water from Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) under an
agreement that has been in place since 1978. Representatives from Northern Colorado
Water Conservancy District, PRPA and the City of Fort Collins will give a presentation
about the project and answer any related questions.
3. Mountain Vista Subarea Plan Update. (1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this work session item is to seek comments.from City Council on the
update of the Mountain Vista Subarea Plan (Plan) prior to formal Council consideration
on September 15, 2009. This discussion is a follow-up to the previous Council work
session held on June 9, 2009. The project team has provided additional information per
Council's request.
Over the ten years since the existing 1999 Plan was adopted, a handful of issues have
created the need for the Plan update. As part of the update process, a number of
adjustments to the Framework Plan map are proposed in a 2009 Framework Plan map.
This proposed Framework Plan map represents a refinement of the currently adopted
Framework Plan. Proposed adjustments include modest shifts in land use designations
and an updated street network.
The update planning process has included extensive public participation beginning in
March 2008, and continuing through July 2009. Public outreach has included numerous
property owner and neighborhood meetings, regular updates to boards and commissions,
three Council work sessions, four open house meetings, and regular project updates on
the project web page.
4. Update on the City Manager's 2010-2011 Recommended Budget. (30 minute discussion)

and available to the public on September 4, 2009. This work session will review the
economic assumptions that are being incorporated into the City Manager's 2010-2011
Recommended Budget and provide an overview of the work that has been completed to
