MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 29, 2014
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Wanda Nelson, City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Karen Weitkunat, Mayor Pro Tem Gerry Horak, Deputy City Manager Jeff Mihelich, Senior Assistant
City Attorney Ingrid Decker, Assistant City Attorney Jenny Lopez Filkins, Chief Deputy City Clerk Rita Knoll,
and City Clerk Wanda Nelson met on Monday, December 29, and the following summarizes the discussions
that began at 12:04 p.m.
January 6 Regular Meeting
Charter Amendments will be the first item on the Discussion Agenda. Initially City Clerk staff proposed to
change the amount of time to examine an initiative petition from five working days to fifteen calendar days;
however, this additional time would negatively impact other election-related deadlines and is no longer
being recommended.
The City’s Structure Plan Map and East Mulberry Corridor Plan Map are being amended by the Capstone
Cottages Plan. The Planning and Zoning Board voted on December 11 to support the amendment. Three
neighborhood meetings were held for this item and most of the comments focused on traffic impacts. The
summary of each neighborhood meeting will be included with the agenda materials.
Six Month Calendar
For the January 13 Adjourned Meeting, staff is asked to provide a memo outlining the process that will be
followed for the City Attorney finalist list.
The January 13 Work Session item Business Incubation Strategy will be replaced with a discussion on future
population growth and land use.
Staff is asked to find specific dates for the Unscheduled Items CSU Stadium IGA (Work Session and Regular
Meeting) and proposed Police Training Facility (Work Session).
City Clerk Nelson revealed a draft of the new Six Month Calendar that includes the purpose of the agenda
item. Where applicable, the agenda item will include a link where additional information can be found.
Other Discussion Items:
Deputy City Manager Mihelich reported on:
1. Recent snow removal efforts. There were several problems with the equipment and challenges on
the sidewalks at Horsetooth and Lemay.
2. Catholic Charities stated the homeless shelters are not at capacity.

and ongoing collections.
4. The Martin Marietta Asphalt Plant received their permit from the State. The deadline for the
initiative petition regarding the asphalt plant is January 30.
5. A Lincoln Avenue stakeholders’ meeting will be held January 12.
Staff is asked to explain the following:
1. An e-Lab report was included in the December 24 packet. Where are we headed and what are the
next steps?
2. How will residents and Transfort users be notified of policy or procedural changes regarding Max
and bicycles?
3. Now that most of the homes with restrictive covenants are in compliance in Provincetown, what
mechanisms are in place to ensure continued compliance?
4. What are the next steps with the former Crossroads Safehouse facility? Deputy City Manager
Mihelich reported that a review is taking place with the planning staff to determine if the facility
should remain as one building or split into two structures, an RFP will be issued for non-profit
providers to indicate their interest in using the facility, and additional neighborhood meetings will
be held to provide information and solicit feedback.
The discussion ended at 12:58 p.m.
