November 4, 2024 Regular Meeting
• Item 9 - Discovery Air Lease: It was noted that Councilor Ohlson had a question related to this at the
October 15 meeting. Francis Robbins, Acting Airport Director, sent a response. Staff will make sure
that the response was sent out to Council.
• Item 26 – NOCOBiz Connect (NBC): It was noted that this expansion allows Larimer County to
access the program and allow Larimer County businesses outside of Fort Collins to join the
sustainable business program. This will result in NBC being a single, consistent presence in the
region for businesses interested in sustainable business programming.

that the new meeting space at the Fort Collins Visitor’s Center was used for some of the sessions.
The space is beautiful and worked well in tandem with the Elizabeth Hotel. She thanked Mayor Arndt
and City Manager DiMartino for kicking off the conference as well as Rachel Barrett, a City Human
