WORK SESSION
October 29, 2013
6 p.m.
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Joint Meeting between the City Council and the Board of Directors of the Poudre Valley Fire
Protection District. (staff: Tom DeMint, PFA Fire Chief, Darin Atteberry, City Manager; 90 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this work session is to further develop the relationship between the two entities
which created the Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) —the City of Fort Collins and Poudre Valley Fire
Protection District (PVFPD) and provide historical context for the original establishment of the
agreement between PFA and the City.
For over 30 years, the Poudre Fire Authority has provided fire protection, emergency medical and
rescue services to both the City of Fort Collins and the PVFPD through an intergovernmental
agreement. The two “parent” entities jointly govern PFA through representation on the PFA Board
of Directors. This joint meeting will provide an opportunity to all members of each partner to the
IGA to discuss issues of mutual concern and develop a common understanding of the history of
PFA.
3. Southeast Community Recreation and Art Center Feasibility Study. (staff: Bob Adams, 45 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to review the Southeast Community Recreation and Art Center
Feasibility Study.
October 29, 2013
This Feasibility Study includes a needs assessment, programming and conceptual design,
financial pro forma, and site location review. Staff will present the results of this study to City
Council. The report summarizes the process and illustrates how the Southeast Community
Recreation and Arts Center aims to provide the greatest value while exceeding the expectations of
the community.
4. West Nile Virus Management Policy and Response Plan Review. (staff: Mike Calhoon, Kelly
DiMartino, Dan Weinheimer; 1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this discussion is to review the activities from the 2013 West Nile season and
gather initial Council input regarding the Program Response Guidelines review that will occur this
winter/spring.
The City’s West Nile Virus (WNV) Management Policy was adopted July 1, 2008 and the Policy
and Program Response Guidelines were last updated in March 2013. The latter part of the
summer of 2013 was a challenging and quickly evolving period for West Nile virus activity. Despite
larval control efforts, the risk of West Nile virus was deemed extremely high and the Larimer
County Department of Health and Environment made a formal recommendation to perform adult
mosquito control (adulticiding). The recommendation was considered per the Policy and Program
Response Guidelines, and adulticiding occurred on August 14/15 and August 19/20.
