MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 10, 2021
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Delynn Coldiron, City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Jeni Arndt, Mayor Pro Tem Emily Gorgol, City Manager Darin Atteberry, Deputy City Manager Kelly
DiMartino, Deputy City Manager Kyle Stannert, City Attorney Carrie Daggett, and City Clerk Delynn Coldiron met
on Monday, May 10, and the following summarizes the discussions that began at 7:00 a.m.
May 11, 2021 Work Session:
Agenda items for the meeting were reviewed.
• This Council work session will be remote. As is customary for work sessions, no public participation for
the meeting will be available. Spanish translation will be available.
Councilmembers will discuss in-person versus remote meetings as part of their retreat follow-up
meeting, which is anticipated to be scheduled in June.
May 18, 2021 Regular Meeting:
Draft agenda items for this meeting were reviewed.
• Fort Fund Grant Disbursements – A memo was included in Thursday packets related to this item. Staff is
asked to do further analysis for a future discussion on resulting impacts if public entities were no longer
eligible to receive Fort Fund or other competitive funding, including CDBG and utility grants.
• Council Liaison Assignments – A list of Council’s agreed to liaison assignments, based on the discussion
that occurred at Council’s retreat on May 8, is attached. This information will be used to create the
resolution that Council will consider on May 18.
• Hickory Park Funding Commitment – It was noted that the residents of the Hickory Park community
have made an offer to purchase the park and are awaiting word on whether or not their offer has been
accepted. There are two other mobile home parks in the area that are considering moving forward in
the same fashion, and there was discussion about the precedent that might be set if funding was
approved for Hickory Park. In addition, the recently approved Housing Plan strategy about resident
owned communities is not limited to mobile home parks. Staff will monitor the status of the Hickory
purchase, and if a funding commitment Resolution is no longer relevant for May 18, staff will be
prepared with a discussion to share context of the strategies in the Housing Plan and potential next
steps to support Resident Owned Communities (ROC).

Deputy City Manager Kyle Stannert:
• Noted staff is working on next steps related to creating a resolution for an Indigenous People’s Day.
Outreach with stakeholders from the indigenous community is planned to ensure we understand the
ask. He added that staff will discuss next steps with stakeholders to ensure expectations are well
understood. Staff will provide more detail in an upcoming memo.
Deputy City Manager DiMartino:
• Reported that all drop-off sites for branches have now been closed. She added that there was a great
community response to this service. Hageman’s received 8,352 cubic yards of material. 8,634 vehicles
visited the Hughes site.
• Noted that 712 vehicles participated in the free mulch event.
City Manager Atteberry:
• Noted the great conversation and facilitation that occurred at the Council retreat. He thanked all who
participated. The Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem also offered their thanks and look forward to reconvening
to finalize priorities.
• Noted the Colorado State University (CSU) Board of Governors met and released a statement related to
the Hughes Stadium property. The statement notes that CSU will protect their interests if the City
moves forward with a moratorium on SPAR processes. He added that CSU is open to selling the
property outright assuming they have workable alternatives for its affordable housing project. The two
biggest questions for Council will be the price of the property (estimated to be somewhere between
$10M and $14M) and the funding sources that would be used for the purchase.
Mayor Pro Tem Gorgol:
• Requested that staff move towards having buffet-style meals, as soon as allowed under COVID
restrictions with an interest in reducing food and container waste and to use local vendors where
possible. She wants Council to continue to model waste reduction and supporting local business.
• Asked about whether there were any updates on dais modifications that would enable Councilmembers
to more effectively stand during meetings. Staff is working on options and will report back once more
information is available.
Meeting adjourned at 9:11 a.m.

**The City gets to appoint one representative and then the City and County get to appoint and additional joint representative. Councilmembers do not
serve as a liaison but instead perhaps selecting members to be on a “selection committee” is more appropriate.
