AGENDA REVIEW: CITY MANAGER
City Manager Review of Agenda.
Consent Calendar Review
This Review provides an opportunity for Council and citizens to pull items from the Consent
Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar be “pulled” off the Consent Calendar and
considered separately.
o Council-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered before Discussion Items.
o Citizen-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered after Discussion Items.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Individuals may comment regarding items scheduled on the Consent Calendar and items not specifically
scheduled on the agenda. Comments regarding land use projects for which a development application

Those who wish to speak are asked to sign in at the table in the lobby (for recordkeeping
purposes).
All speakers will be asked by the presiding officer to identify themselves by raising their hand,
and then will be asked to move to one of the two lines of speakers (or to a seat nearby, for those
who are not able to stand while waiting).
The presiding officer will determine and announce the length of time allowed for each speaker.
Each speaker will be asked to state his or her name and general address for the record, and to
keep comments brief. Any written comments or materials intended for the Council should be
provided to the City Clerk.

PUBLIC COMMENT FOLLOW-UP
City of Fort Collins Page 4
Consent Calendar
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow the City Council to spend its time and energy on the important
items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request
an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda
items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items
remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent
Calendar consists of:
● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine;
● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;
● Those of no perceived controversy;
● Routine administrative actions.
If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens
is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer
may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled
Consent Items:
(1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading
“Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.”
(2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all
of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda.
(3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled
Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council
will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote.
(4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will
then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items.
1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the June 2 and June 16, 2020 Regular Council Meetings,
the June 9 and June 23, 2020 Adjourned Council Meetings and the July 14, 2020 Special Meeting.
The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes from the June 2 and June 16, 2020 Regular Council

Meeting.
2. First Reading of Ordinance No. 085, 2020, Making Supplemental Appropriations for the Restorative
Justice Services Program.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate grant revenue to fund Restorative Justice Services within
Community Development and Neighborhood Services (CDNS). A grant in the amount of $67,612 has
been received from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) Juvenile Diversion fund for the
continued operation of Restorative Justice Services, which includes the RESTORE program for

The purpose of this item is to appropriate $37,000 in grant funds from Bloomberg Philanthropies, as
part of the Bloomberg Mayor’s Challenge, from the Fort Collins Utilities Light and Power Fund to be
expended to pay a sub-grant to Colorado State University (CSU) for the indoor environmental quality
(IEQ) study of Utilities’ Epic Homes Program. It also authorizes and approves the Services Agreement
the City and CSU have entered into for the IEQ Study. The Bloomberg Philanthropies funds come from
the second tranche of the 2020 grant installment.
City of Fort Collins Page 5
This item is presented to Council because the appropriation of these grant funds is necessary to enable
Utilities, in collaboration with CSU, to move forward with the IEQ study for the Bloomberg Mayors
Challenge grant project (the Epic Homes program). Epic Homes is a streamlined, affordable approach
for single-family home and rental property energy efficiency upgrades to improve comfort, health and
efficiency in Fort Collins.
The City Manager recommends this appropriation and has determined that the funds are available and

revenues to be received in that fund during this year.
