AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 21
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 133, 2012, Amending Section 2-500 of the City Code Pertaining to a City Service Area.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City’s Charter provides that service areas are provided by ordinance upon the recommendation of the City
Manager. This Ordinance amends the City Code, per the City Manager’s recommendation, to create a Planning,
Development, and Transportation Service Area, reflecting changes in roles and reporting relationships.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City’s Charter provides that service areas are to be established by ordinance upon the recommendation of the
City Manager. The City Code was amended in 2011 to establish a Policy, Planning, and Transportation (PPT) Service
Area comprised of the Planning, Development, and Transportation (PDT) Service Unit and the Policy and Project
Manager. Deputy City Manager Jones oversees the PPT service area. The current City organizational structure is
reflected in Attachment 1.
As Deputy City Manager Jones’ roles and responsibilities change, PDT, led by Director Karen Cumbo, will become
a direct report to City Manager Darin Atteberry. As a result, it is necessary to amend the existing City Code provisions
to reflect the new Planning, Development and Transportation Service Area name and to remove the policy, special
projects and strategic planning from the responsibilities of the service area. Deputy City Manager Jones will retain
supervision of those functions, as well as supervision of the City Clerk’s Office.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
