EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is for Council to consider making assignments to the Platte River Power Authority Board and the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority Board. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION Pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement establishing the Platte River Power Authority (PRPA), the City is entitled to representation on the eight-member Board of Directors of PRPA by its Mayor and a second appointee to be designated by City Council. Pursuant to an intergovernmental agreement establishing the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority (“BBRSA”), the City is entitled to appoint one representative to the five-member BBRSA Board of Directors, and to jointly appoint with Larimer County a second representative. Currently, Mayor Pro Tem Horak has been appointed to serve as the representative on both of these Boards. With the swearing in of new Councilmember Emily Gorgol to the District 6 Council seat, the term of office for Mayor Pro Tem Horak will end and, according to Resolution 2017-049, the PRPA assignment will pass on to the new Councilmember elected unless Council acts to make a new appointment. This item gives Council the opportunity to discuss and determine whether to make appointments to these two board positions, until such time as Council considers and adopts new, updated appointments to outside boards and commissions. -1- RESOLUTION 2019-054 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE PLATTE RIVER POWER AUTHORITY BOARD AND THE BOXELDER BASIN REGIONAL STORMWATER AUTHORITY BOARD WHEREAS, pursuant to the intergovernmental agreement establishing the Platte River Power Authority (“PRPA”), the City is entitled to representation on the eight-member Board of Directors of PRPA by its mayor and a second appointee, to be designated by the City Council; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the intergovernmental agreement establishing the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority (“BBRSA”), the City is entitled to appoint one representative to the five-member BBRSA Board of Directors, and to jointly appoint with Larimer County a second representative; and WHEREAS, the City Council has previously designated former Mayor Pro Tem Gerry Horak to serve as the City’s appointed representative to the PRPA Board; and WHEREAS, the City Council has also previously designated former Mayor Pro Tem Gerry Horak to serve as the City’s representative on the BBRSA Board; and WHEREAS, with the swearing in of new Councilmember Emily Gorgol to the District 6 Council seat, the term of office of Gerry Horak on the City Council has ended; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution 2017-049, making Council appointments during the past two-year Council term (including the appointment of Gerry Horak to the PRPA Board), “[i]n the event any individual appointee leaves office before Council acts to make a new appointment, the new incumbent in that individual Council seat shall be deemed to have assumed his or her predecessor’s appointments;” and WHEREAS, until such time as Council considers and adopts new, updated appointments to outside boards and commissions, the Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the City to make intentional designations to these two board positions; and WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, the Council has determined to make the appointments set forth below, effective immediately, until such time as the Council takes new action on appointments to these Board positions.
