4. City Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Decision-Making Process. (staff: Bruce Hendee,
Lucinda Smith, Brian Varrella, Bonnie Pierce; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this work session is to seek City Council feedback on interim plans to
provide “Triple-Bottom Line” assessments of items coming to Council for work
sessions. The City of Fort Collins Utilities began using a Triple Bottom Line Analysis
Map (TBLAM) in 2008 to internally evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of projects
from the economic, environmental and social (community and workforce) perspectives.
Since 2010, Utilities have been assisting departments across the entire City organization
in completing the TBLAM brainstorming process. This year, City Council has requested
that more information about the TBL aspects of projects be provided during the Council
review process. Starting in October 2013, staff will complete a TBLAM and Synthesis
for major projects coming to City Council for work sessions. This is viewed as an
interim approach allowing the City to gain more experience with the TBLAM and the
Council to evaluate the utility of the information provided. Staff has submitted a 2014
budget offer to further develop a robust TBL Decision-Making Framework, a list of
qualitative and quantitative tools, and guidance about when to apply which tools.
5. Other Business.
