Staff is asked to confirm the numbers presented in the table on packet page 7 regarding the comparison and analysis of options (the percentages listed for diversion impacts do not total 100 percent). Also, staff is asked to be prepared to discuss food scraps and how the collection of organics could impact the Road to Zero Waste (RTZW) goal. In a Read-before memo, staff is asked to address the following items regarding the Southeast Community Park (Work Session Item #2): 1. Did Council approve the design? 2. What is the process or policy that drives the amenities included in a park? In the presentation for Resourcing Police Services in a Growing Community (the third Work Session item), staff is asked to be prepared to respond to the following: 1. In addition to the methodologies explained in the agenda materials, it was suggested that a model that looks at geographic areas vs. density would be helpful in terms of determining the level of service needed. 2. During the summer months, where and how are School Resource Officers (SROs) utilized? City Manager Atteberry described the concern expressed by some Councilmembers about the lack of police presence and the quality of some neighborhoods in Fort Collins. It was noted the community policing approach (specifically bike patrols) is included at the back of the Six Month Calendar in the new “City Council Initiative Dashboard” (under the Safe Community Outcome). July 5 Regular Meeting The LPT reviewed the draft agenda for the July 5 meeting. At 6:00 p.m., the Council will meet as the Wastewater Utility Enterprise Board to discuss revenue refunding bonds. The Regular Council meeting will begin after adjournment of the Enterprise Board. Leadership Planning Team Meeting June 27, 2016 Page 2 of 3 The Discussion Items will be presented in the following order: 1. Authorization for Eminent Domain at the Prospect/College Intersection. For this item, staff is asked to clearly articulate that the purpose of this item is to authorize eminent domain for the impacted properties. 2. Outdoor Vendor Requirements. 3. Coy Farmstead Designation. 4. Climate Action Plan (CAP) Appropriation. Regarding the appropriation for the Southeast Community Park, staff is asked to delay this item (at least until the July 19 meeting) to ensure there is time to incorporate feedback from tomorrow night’s Work Session into the agenda materials. Once this appropriation is brought forward for Council’s consideration, it will be placed on the Discussion Agenda. The July 5 meeting will be adjourned to July 12 for consideration of the 320 Maple Appeal. After the appeal, a Work Session will be held on for an update on Homeless Programs and Short Term Rentals. Six Month Calendar Additional staff work is needed on the Natural Areas proposed Hageman Land Sale, so this item has been moved from July 19 to August 16. This item is not time-sensitive. The Utility Rate Ordinance will be discussed at the October 18 Regular Meeting. As a result of the downtown hotel project being delayed several months, the discussion regarding the hotel parking structure financing has been pushed to the second quarter of 2017. When new information is provided on the City Council Initiative Dashboard, staff is asked to highlight the changes to make them distinguishable. Also, staff is asked to include the date when revisions are made to the Dashboard. Other Discussion Items: City Clerk Winkelmann reported a correction to last week’s LPT minutes: Assistant City Manager Wendy Williams will serve as Acting Cultural Services Director (not Creative Service Director). Assistant City Manager DiMartino noted: 1. She is serving on a stakeholder committee that Larimer County has convened that is working on a master plan for the Ranch. The committee will be in place for about 18 months to help create a vision for the next 10 years. 2. Staff has received feedback from some Councilmembers regarding the advertising used to promote Council Listening Sessions. A memo summarizing the feedback and next steps will be forthcoming in a Thursday packet. Deputy City Manager Mihelich informed the LPT that a future neighborhood meeting will be held to discuss the proposed fence around Laurel Elementary (that will be installed by PSD for security reasons). City staff has been working with PSD on this issue as a city park adjoins the school. Staff is asked to provide a future written update and include maps that show the school, the park, and the proposed fence. It was suggested that the Leadership Planning Team Meeting June 27, 2016 Page 3 of 3 overall topic of coordination of projects (that impact both PSD and the City) be discussed at the next liaison meeting. On a related note, staff is asked to describe the coordination between irrigation and mowing of PSD/City properties. City Attorney Daggett stated: 1. She has hired a new paralegal (Jeanne Sanford) who started last Monday. 2. Her office will review the information shared at last week’s CML Conference to determine if any changes need to be made to our municipal codes. Several topics discussed include panhandling and sign codes. City Manager Atteberry noted: 1. Positive feedback was received on the CML session that he facilitated on Broadband. He highlighted the steps Fort Collins is taking in this effort. 2. He received an email from Gary Wockner, requesting permission to attend the staff meetings held with Northern to discuss NISP. Mr. Atteberry informed Mr. Wockner that these meetings are not open to the public. 3. Staff is working on the proposal from Lamar to discuss outdoor advertising. 4. He will be providing to Council (and the Land Conservation Stewardship Board) the recommended names for four new properties that have been acquired for Natural Areas. Mayor Pro Tem Horak commented on the following items from the June 23 Thursday packet: 1. Police Services Memo. He gave kudos to Assistant Chief Schiager for his follow-up with the concerned citizens and looks forward to the next update. 2. Leaf Blowers. Due to the amount of noise, carbon, energy etc. from leaf blowers, is it necessary to use them when other via methods (such as sweeping up clippings with a broom) are available? Can the City require its contractors to use electric (vs. gas powered) equipment? Mayor Troxell discussed the following: 1. The CML Executive Board voted to oppose Amendment 69, which is a citizen initiative to create a state health insurance provider called ColoradoCare. The Finance Committee will discuss Amendment 69 at their July meeting. In addition to this amendment, CML Director Sam Mamet reviewed the 2016 Statewide Ballot Initiatives at the 8:30 a.m. conference session on Friday, June 24. 2. A Legislative Breakfast will be held on Friday at 8:00 a.m. at City Hall. At tomorrow’s LRC meeting, the agenda for the breakfast will be discussed. It was suggested that it would be helpful for staff to reach out to our legislators to inform them about the issues of interest to Fort Collins, such as homelessness, transportation, etc. The meeting adjourned at 9:04 a.m.
