2. First Reading of Ordinance No. 097, 2016, Calling a Special Municipal Election to be Held in
Conjunction with the November 8, 2016 Larimer County General Election.
The purpose of this item is to call a Special Municipal Election to be held in conjunction with the
November 8, 2016 Larimer County General Election, and preserves the opportunity for Council to
place Council-initiated or referred issues on the November ballot. If Council decides to place any

does not take action by ordinance or resolution before the statutory deadline (September 9) to certify
ballot language to Larimer County, the election will be cancelled and the provisions of this Ordinance
will be of no further force and effect.
This Ordinance does not submit a specific measure to the November 8, 2016 ballot. Adoption of this
Ordinance is a required step in preserving the option for City Council to submit any ballot measures
that Council may desire, at the November 8, 2016 General Election.

efficiency programs in 2016, as outlined in the draft 2020 Climate Action Plan (CAP) Strategic Plan.

CALL TO ORDER.
1. Short Term Rentals (STRs). (staff: Ginny Sawyer; 10 minute staff presentation; 45 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to review draft regulatory concepts and public feedback regarding short-
term rentals (STRs.) Council and staff have been studying STRs, including potential impacts,

2. Recommendations for the Development of Critical Behavioral Health Services in Larimer County.
(staff: Beth Sowder, Mike Beckstead; 5 minute presentation; Carol Plock and Laurie Stolen (Larimer
County)-10 minutes; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide information about the recommendations for the development of
critical behavioral health services in Larimer County. The Community Mental Health and Substance
Abuse Partnership of Larimer County recently commissioned a study to quantify the gaps in
treatment for mental health and substance use disorders locally. The study identified major gaps in
critical behavioral health services, offering recommendations in what services are most needed, at
what levels, and for what cost. Because these gaps have a significant impact on local citizens and
their families, government, health, and social services, this is an educational presentation to share
the findings.
Carol Plock, Executive Director, Health District of Northern Larimer County, will present information
on the study findings. Laurie Stolen, Director, Larimer County Alternative Sentencing Department,
will present information on the possible solution.
