CALL TO ORDER.
1. Broadband Strategic Plan Update. (staff: Jessica Ping-Small, Mike Beckstead; 10 minute staff
presentation; 20 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide City Council with an overview of the Broadband Strategic Plan
project which was funded though the 2015-2016 Budgeting for Outcomes process. As the demand
for more advanced, reliable and affordable broadband service rises, the City must define its ongoing
role in ensuring access is provided. Staff has begun a phased approach which includes gathering
market and benchmark data, assessing feasibility and engaging the citizenry to frame the
Community Vision for Broadband Service in Fort Collins.
2. Advanced Metering Infrastructure Update. (staff: Kraig Bader, Kevin Gertig, Dennis Sumner; 15
minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide Council with an update on the Advanced Meter Fort Collins
Project. The installation of advanced metering technology has and will provide a foundation that will
enable Fort Collins Light & Power to support, inform and empower our community by providing
energy choices while maintaining the same level of quality service and high reliability provided to
customers today. This update will share lessons learned and how the some expected benefits of the
project are already being realized.

45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to request feedback from Council on standards for regulating Addition of
Permitted Use (APU) applications. Several refinements have been made to the APU standards

Zoning Board to consider adding uses, on a case-by-case basis, within zone districts where they are
not listed as permitted uses.
4. End of Term Council Report. (Darin Atteberry: 45 minute presentation and discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide an update to City Council and to the community on the City

direction this Council has provided during the last two years.
