City Council Work Session

After the Adjourned Meeting, Which Begins at 6:00 p.m.
CALL TO ORDER.
1. City Plan - Vision & Big Ideas. (staff: Cameron Gloss; 15 minute staff presentation; 45 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to update Council on the main ideas and concepts proposed in the 2019
City Plan update. Staff will focus primarily on the draft policy elements that are new, revised, or
reemphasized in the document compared to the current iteration of City Plan. Staff will outline the key
implementation actions and strategies recommended to support the proposed policy direction. Staff
will also share an update on ongoing targeted outreach held since the last Council Work Session in
December 2018.
2. Regional Wasteshed Intergovernmental Agreement and Ordinance for Construction Debris Recycling.
(staff: Honore Depew; 15 minute staff presentation; 45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to discuss an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Larimer County and
other regional partners for solid waste infrastructure proposed in a 2018-adopted Larimer County
Master Plan, and to review an ordinance directing all mixed loads of construction and demolition debris
to a future County-owned sorting facility.
The Solid Waste Infrastructure Master Plan lays out a road map that can help Fort Collins meet its
adopted landfill reduction goals. The Larimer County Solid Waste Enterprise Fund has the financial
ability to build more than $50 million worth of new facilities without tax revenue or financial contributions
from Fort Collins.

The IGA outlines how participating communities can work together to enable infrastructure
development by adopting policies and programs in support of waste material recovery facilities.
3. Pilot Program Allowing E-bikes on Paved Trails. (staff: Tessa Greegor, Paul Sizemore; 15 minute
staff presentation; 45 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to seek direction from Council on a proposal to implement a one-year pilot
period to allow Class 1 and Class 2 electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes) on City paved trails. This
proposal was initiated by recommendations from the City’s Transportation Board and Bicycle Advisory
Committee in response to the growing popularity of e-bikes and their potential benefits, and
Colorado’s adoption of new e-bike regulations in 2017, which allow Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes on
bicycle and pedestrian paths unless otherwise prohibited by the local jurisdiction (currently the case
in Fort Collins). Most other Colorado jurisdictions now allow e-bikes on their trail systems.
Following the recommendations from the Transportation Board and Bicycle Advisory Committee, staff
formed a cross-departmental team to investigate the relevant issues, determine how other cities are
managing e-bikes, develop a proposed framework for an e-bike pilot program, and gain input from
associated boards and commissions. The proposed pilot program was presented to nine City boards,
commissions and committees; seven have passed recommendations in favor of the implementation
of a one-year pilot program to allow e-bikes on paved trails, and the remaining two are expected to
take action in early February.
