City Clerk Delynn Coldiron • Staff provided education to 160 people about ranked voting at the weekend Farmers Market. • A citizen has reached out about a possible initiative related to reducing parking and traffic fines and eliminating enforcement by red light cameras. Deputy City Manager Tyler Marr • No items. City Attorney Carrie Daggett • No items. City Manager Kelly DiMartino • CARE Housing had problems last year meeting its fund raising commitment for a childcare facility that the City committed $800K of ARPA money towards. The deadline was extended to June 1, 2025. The City has been informed that CARE Housing will not be able to meet the extended deadline. Since the funds are ARPA monies and need to be spent to avoid losing them, it is being proposed to shift these funds to an Affordable Housing Landbank that meets related requirements and supports Council’s priorities. • Emily Land has joined the City as the new Director of Philanthropy and Strategic Partnerships. She starts today and will be working with Nina Bodenhamer over the next few weeks to help with the transition. Ms. Bodenhamer will be leaving the City in early July. Ms. Land most recently served as an Assistant Director of Development at CSU’s College of Agricultural Services and connected alumni, industry partners, and passionate people to make a philanthropic impact on students, programs and research. She will be a great addition to the City’s team. Mayor Jeni Arndt • Noted the noise ordinance items passing 7-0. She appreciates the confidence that Police inspire in Council and the Community. • Shared some concern about the recent Foothills Metro District public hearing. She asked for further discussion about process. • Noted the Urban Renewal Authority continues to go well and that the Citizen Advisory Group for the North Fort Collins Business Association wants to get more involved and collaborate with the City as they continue meeting. • Provided a shout out to the local public health office for doing such a great job. • Complimented Fort Collins staff for their thoughtful planning and project management resulting in great service to the Community despite the budgetary challenges we are currently facing. She noted various challenges the Denver area is facing and noted the contrast in approach. Meeting adjourned at 8:12 am.
