City of Fort Collins Page 2 A municipal immigration legal fund would provide local access to immigration legal services for Fort Collins residents seeking a legal pathway to citizenship or lawful presence. As a new effort, the potential program would be considered a pilot endeavor of 12-18 months. Grant funds would be awarded to legal service providers based on a competitive process and will be dedicated to program administration, education, and outreach; providing defense for people at risk of deportation; children seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status; and for community members seeking pathways to citizenship and lawful presence also known as Affirmative Cases. 3. Water Supply Requirements and Allotments. (staff: Abbye Neel, Leisel Hans; 15 minute presentation; 30 minute discussion) The purpose of this work session is to discuss a proposal to update the methodology for calculating the Fort Collins Utilities (Utilities) Water Supply Requirements (WSR). WSRs are a dedication of water rights or cash-in-lieu of water rights (cash-in-lieu) to ensure adequate water supplies and associated infrastructure are available to serve both new development and re-development in the Utilities water service area. For non-residential customers, the WSRs are translated into an annual water allotment (allotment), with an Excess Water Use surcharge (surcharge) applied to water use that exceeds the allotment. Goals of this update include increasing accuracy and equity of the calculations and encouraging water efficient designs in development. Staff will present the drivers for the proposal, how the proposed calculations compare to the current system and other water providers' systems, impacts to the community, and opportunities for future improvements.  ANNOUNCEMENTS.  ADJOURNMENT.
