MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 21, 2015
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Wanda Winkelmann, City Clerk
RE: Leadership Planning Team (LPT) Meeting
Mayor Wade Troxell, Mayor Pro Tem Gerry Horak, City Manager Darin Atteberry, Deputy City Manager
Jeff Mihelich, PDT Director Laurie Kadrich, City Attorney Carrie Daggett, and City Clerk Wanda
Winkelmann met on Monday, December 21, and the following summarizes the discussions that began at
7:37 a.m.
January 5, 2016 Regular Meeting
On the Consent Agenda will be an ordinance establishing an offense for underage possession and
consumption of alcohol (which currently exists in State statute and will now be codified locally). In the
agenda materials, staff is asked to provide data on the numbers of citations issued for these offenses.
Per the direction given at the December 15 Regular Meeting, staff will be presenting a code amendment
as a discussion item that permits retail marijuana establishments to remain open until 8:00 p.m.
(presently the closing time is 7:00 p.m.).
Due to the light agenda, a Work Session will follow the Regular Meeting for the topic Fort Collins Light
and Power Reliability Update (originally scheduled for a January 12 Work Session).
Six Month Planning Calendar
The LPT discussed the January 12 Work Session topic Election Procedural Issues. Because the Council ad
hoc Committee has been reviewing the proposed amendments related to the election code, a Work
Session is no longer needed. Once the work of the Committee is complete (next meeting is January 4),
staff is asked to provide a report to the full Council which, in turn, can then provide feedback if a Work
Session is needed, or if the proposed amendments can be presented at a Regular Council Meeting. City
Clerk Winkelmann reported staff will be meeting with the HRC and COD in January to garner their
feedback regarding a proposed amendment that would clarify if a Council can accept a lower wage than
the amount outlined in the code.
The Community Recycling Ordinance will be presented at the January 19 Regular Meeting. The LPT
discussed the fact that there is still work to be done in terms of the handling of green waste and food
waste, and the overall topic of waste to energy.
The joint meeting with the Town of Windsor to discuss the I-25/392 corridor will be held on Monday,
February 1. City Manager Atteberry and Windsor Town Manager Kelly Arnold will prepare the agenda.

PDT Director Kadrich reviewed the planning efforts between the joint staff teams (as noted in the
Thursday packet memo). Staff is asked to provide maps at the February 1 meeting so that attendees can
clearly see the area being discussed.
Dust prevention and control will be discussed at the February 9 Work Session.
Staff outlined a schedule for the Social Host ordinance – April 12 for Work Session, and May 3 for
Council consideration at a Regular Meeting. It was determined that a Work Session is not needed for
this item; however, staff is asked to provide the feedback from ASCSU on this topic in the agenda
materials and ensure that any Council discussions on the topic be held when CSU is in session.
The March 8 Work Session has been moved to Thursday, March 10. Topics for this Work Session include
Climate Action Plan (CAP), Old Town Planning Projects, and West Elizabeth Enhanced Travel Corridor
Plan.
Other Discussion Items:
City Manager Atteberry:
1. Stated staff has been meeting with the stakeholders interested in the formation of a Business
Improvement District (BID) in midtown. They are targeting a November 2016 election.
2. Reported that the Construction Defects Ordinance discussion is scheduled for the January 26
Work Session and a SAR is forthcoming on the topic.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak commented on the following items from the December 17 Thursday packet:
1. Social Sustainability as a Key Outcome Area. Appreciated staff’s work on this.
2. E-bikes on Trails. It was suggested that more needs to be done to inform the public that
individuals with disabilities can use motorized devices on trails.
3. Kudos for the memos on FOP Benefits and I-25 Improvements.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak received a letter from Healthy Headwaters. Staff is asked to review the letter and
provide context.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak appreciated the email from City Manager Atteberry about the S&P report on
PRPA.
Mayor Troxell discussed the following:
1. Denial of Train Horn Noise Waiver. What are the next steps and how will the FRA working group
assist with efforts for our request to be reconsidered?
2. NRAB Annual Report. He appreciated the report.
3. LID Roundtable Discussion. Thanks for the update.
The meeting adjourned at 8:38 a.m.
