1. Resolution 2014-082, Directing the Interim City Attorney and the City's Special Counsel to File an
Appeal with the Colorado Court of Appeals in the Colorado Oil and Gas Association v. City of Fort
Collins Lawsuit. (staff: Laurie Kadrich; 5 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to request Council’s direction to file an appeal with the Colorado Court
of Appeals regarding the District Court’s recent decision in the Colorado Oil and Gas
Association’s (COGA) lawsuit against the City. That decision declared the voter-approved five-
year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing to be preempted by state law. This item also asks the
Council for direction to file with the District Court, and the Court of Appeals if necessary, a motion
to “stay” the effect of the Order pending the outcome of the appeal.

This Ordinance, adopted on September 2, 2014, by a vote of 5-1 (Nays: Overbeck; Poppaw

Bellvue Pipeline Project. Greeley has requested easements for its project across a strip of
property owned by the City’s Utility Department extending south from the Poudre River. The
property lies outside City limits and is the location of the City Ditch. The Larimer County Canal
No. 2 Irrigating Company utilizes this ditch through an existing easement agreement with the City.
The easements requested by Greeley include a .19 acre (8,265 square feet) permanent waterline
easement, a .133 acre (5,808 square feet) temporary construction easement, and an access
easement across the existing ditch access road.
