CALL TO ORDER.
1. 2015 Climate Action Plan Framework - Implementation Update. (staff: Lucinda Smith, Jeff
Mihelich, Laurie Kadrich, Kevin Gertig, Mike Beckstead; 30 minute staff presentation; 30 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to provide an update on the implementation progress of the Climate
Action Plan Framework (CAP) and to seek feedback from Council on future direction. In March
2015, City Council unanimously adopted some of the most aggressive goals in the nation to reduce
community greenhouse gas emissions: 20 percent below 2005 by 2020, 80 percent by 2030, and
carbon neutral by 2050. Council adopted the goals after four work sessions, multiple public forums
and nine months of work with a Citizen Advisory Committee. The accompanying 2015 Climate Action
Plan Framework lays out a number of high level strategies in the areas of Buildings, Mobility, Energy
Supply and Waste Reduction that will put Fort Collins on a path to meet the goals. Since March
2015, the City has continued to implement actions to reduce emissions and begin more in-depth
planning of future implementation strategies.
2. Safe Routes to Everywhere Prioritization. staff: Rob Mosbey, Rick Richter, Paul Sizemore, Kurt
Ravenschlag; 20 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to review prioritization of three key components, Pedestrian Sidewalks,
Bicycle Infrastructure, and Bus Stop Improvements, regarding the extension of the City’s sales and
use tax “Building on Basics” (BOB 2.0) capital projects program. Safe Routes to Everywhere will be
coordinated with Engineering, FC Moves and Safe Routes to School, Transfort, the Streets
Maintenance Program (SMP), and Capital Projects to coordinate construction and adjust project
timing to complement and enhance the effectiveness of projects. It is imperative that staff have
methodology to identify critical projects given the extent of infrastructure needs throughout the
City of Fort Collins Page 2

design.
