RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of this Resolution. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Adoption of this Resolution changes the composition of the Airport Steering Committee from six members (two City Mayors, two City Managers, the Airport Manager and the Airport Liaison) to four members(two City Mayors and the two City Managers) and adds a liaison for each City to be appointed by the respective City Manager. BACKGROUND The current intergovernmental agreement between Fort Collins and Loveland provides for a six- member Airport Steering Committee to facilitate communication between the two Cities and advising the Councils of each City concerning Airport issues. Because of the makeup of this Committee,it has been difficult to efficiently schedule and conduct meetings. Reducing the Steering Committee to just the two City Mayors and the two City Managers(four persons),with the Airport Manager and two (instead of one) City liaisons providing staff support to the Committee would increase the efficiency of the Steering Committee process.
