Noted the need and value for this position.

Fire Authority, Dispatch, and Utilities coordinated late night. It was noted that this helpful practice for
emergency management planning is taking place within the City.
• Met on Friday with Martin Lind, the Loveland City Manager, and their legal team regarding airport matters. It
was a productive meeting, and the next steps are for the Loveland City Manager to put in writing what he is
asking for.
Councilmember Shirley Peel
• Noted that when trying to find the golf class the Mayor spoke of on the Golf website, she only saw a listing of
2022 classes. It was noted the calendar of events did have the class and that staff would remove outdated
references.
• Regarding Skyview GID #15, there is confusion around this topic, noting a split among the community about
keeping it or not keeping it. Are we going to be better at communicating about this subject in the community?
Will discuss further with City Manager Kelly DiMartino in one-on-one meeting.
