CALL TO ORDER.
1. Update on Regional Economic Collaboration. (staff: Josh Birks, 15 minute presentation: 30 minute
discussion)
The purpose of this item is to update City Council on the Economic Health Office's (EHO) increased
efforts to collaborate with regional economic partners. This update directly ties to the City's Strategic
Plan, specifically Economic Health 3.1 - Facilitate government and local partners to form an effective
regional economic health group. In addition, this effort ties directly to the Economic Health Strategic
Plan, specifically in the Think Regionally theme that envisions a region that partners to address
economic issues which extend beyond municipal boundaries. EHO staff will present material that was
developed collaboratively and was shared with the councils of the City of Greeley, City of Loveland,
and numerous others in the region. As a result, the presentation does not follow traditional City of Fort
Collins brand guidelines.
2. Halligan Water Supply Project Update. (staff: Eileen Dornfest, Carol Webb , Donnie Dustin; 15
minute presentation; 60 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to update City Council on the current status of the Halligan Water Supply
Project (Project), including key milestones and activities planned for 2019. The City has been in the
formal federal permitting process for this project since 2006.
The Project is needed to meet treated water demands of future Utilities customers and will provide
added reliability for all Utilities customers, in case of prolonged drought and uncertainties such as
wildfires or infrastructure failures.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) plans to release the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) this year as the Project reaches a key milestone in the federal permitting process. At the same
time the City will release a Conceptual Mitigation Plan for the Project and an Operations Plan for the
Enlarged Halligan Reservoir. Release of these documents marks a key milestone when the public will
be able to review and comment on the project.
