Additionally, leases that are less than twenty years in term could be approved by resolution, rather than ordinance. Council will consider an ordinance making various amendments to the Land Use Code under Consent Agenda Item #13. These changes have been vetted by the Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Board and the Thursday packet contained a memo providing information on the Addition of a Permitted Use (APU) process. Between first and second reading, the P&Z Board will be asked to make a recommendation about the proposed change concerning vested rights. City Attorney Roy will be sending a memo to Council regarding Consent Agenda Item #17 Amended and Restated IGA establishing the Poudre Fire Authority. An amendment to the West Nile Virus (WNV) Management Policy will the first item on the Discussion Agenda (#21). Two options were presented in the agenda materials: Option A includes the continuation of the WNV Advisory Panel (which assists the City Manager in reaching determinations regarding the WNV Program and communicates information back to respective groups/organizations), and Option B which does not include the Panel. Staff is recommending Option B because, as the policy becomes more prescriptive, staff believes there is less of a need for the Panel. However, the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) (made up of community members and those representing the fields of health care and science) will remain in place to provide best-practice recommendations to the City Manager. For this discussion, staff is asked to present additional options – one that includes the use of human cases as a trigger for spraying and one that does not. Six Month Calendar A discussion will be held regarding a possible tax on Recreational Marijuana at the June 24 Work Session. Staff is asked to provide a list of the fees being charged for retail marijuana business applications. City Attorney Roy will be providing a memo to Council on this subject.
