CALL TO ORDER.
1. Economic Health Strategic Plan Update. (Josh Birks, Bruce Hendee; 1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this agenda item is to review a proposed update to the Economic Health Strategic
Plan approved by City Council on June 26, 2012 (Resolution 2012-044; Vote: 7-0 in favor). The
update responds to a City Council request to evaluate changes to the existing strategic plan and
seeks alignment with the objectives of the Sustainability Service Area (formed in 2012). The update
introduces five themes around which to organize the City’s economic health activities:
Embracing the Climate Economy
Shared Prosperity
Grow Our Own
Think Regionally
Place Matters.
2. Homelessness in Fort Collins. (staff: Beth Sowder, Bruce Hendee; 1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this work session item is to provide City Council with an update of actions, programs,
and processes to address the issue of homelessness in Fort Collins. This item includes the current
state of homelessness, best practices proven to address homelessness, what other communities are
doing to address homelessness, the role of the City as it relates to homelessness, and potential
recommendations or options for Council consideration. Historically and currently, the City has
pursued the policy of fund, facilitate, and convene without entering into direct provision of services.

3. Social Sustainability Department Strategic Plan Update. (staff: Beth Sowder, Bruce Hendee; 1
hour discussion)
The purpose of this work session item is to provide City Council with an update on the development
of the Social Sustainability Department Strategic Plan, as well as to receive input from City Council
on the work done to date. Based on feedback received including a need to simplify, the plan is still in
the early stages of refinement. It engages a prioritized alignment with the City’s Strategic Plan,
deeper integration with the triple bottom line, and clearer alignment with the role of the Social
Sustainability Department. It strives to address emerging challenges, including physical and mental
health, increased housing costs and poverty, and increased homelessness. The City has assumed
the role of funder, facilitator, and convener without entering into direct provision of services.
4. Renewal of the Community Capital and Street Maintenance Program Taxes. (staff: Ginny Sawyer,
Darin Atteberry; 1 hour discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide materials and recommendations for Council to consider as the
¼ cent tax renewals move forward.
