MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 12, 2016
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, Assistant City Manager Kelly DiMartino, City Attorney Carrie Daggett, and City Clerk Wanda
Winkelmann met on Monday, September 12, and the following summarizes the discussions that began at 7:44
a.m.
September 13 Work Session
A review of the 2017-18 Recommended Budget will be conducted, with the outcome areas Environmental
Health, Economic Health, and High Performing Government presented. A conversation ensued about the
Community Dashboard and how the BFO process drives results. The LPT discussed the importance of including a
slide in the presentation about results (in the context of where we’ve been, where we are now, and where we
are headed). Additionally, as part of the future work, a session will be scheduled with the Finance Committee to
discuss the City’s approach to measuring the effectiveness of the budget offers in supporting the Strategic
Objectives.
September 20 Regular Meeting
The LPT reviewed the draft agenda for September 20. Second reading of the Community Recycling Ordinance
will be on the Consent Agenda. As was noted during first reading, staff was commended for the work on this
item and it was requested that a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) process be conducted so that positive examples can
be provided of an effort that went well.
Six Month Planning Calendar
A resolution supporting the KFCG sales and use tax ballot question will be added to the October 4 Regular
Meeting.
Staff is asked to determine when Wildlife Management Guidelines will be scheduled for Council’s consideration
at a Regular Meeting.
Due to meetings being held about the Baldrige Site Visit, the LPT meeting for September 26 will be canceled and
will be held on September 25. An email will be going to Council in preparation for the site visit. It was suggested
that staff provide examples of ordinances that have changed during the process of Council adoption as one way
to illustrate Council’s commitment to listening to customers.

Other Discussion Items:
City Clerk Winkelmann discussed the Work Session Summary on Entertainment Districts and asked for LPT’s
preference to bring forward a proposed framework now or wait until an application for an Entertainment
District has been received. The LPT requested a framework be brought forward now; however, it was stressed
that staff provide more basic information about Entertainment Districts – what they are, the attributes of
Entertainments Districts to the community, etc. so that a higher level policy discussion can occur.
Deputy City Manager Mihelich reported that interviews for the Cultural Resources Director are occurring over
the next several weeks.
City Manager Atteberry stated the 9/11 event hosted by Poudre Fire Authority was excellent.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak commented on the following items from the Thursday, September 8 packet:
1. Land Stewardship Board memo. He plans to meet with the Chair of the Board to discuss the conclusions
in the memo.
2. Open Streets Event. Prior to scheduling these events, staff is asked to ensure that the Councilmember
whose districts the event is occurring will be in town and available to participate.
3. Transfort Memo. Staff is asked to use the City’s “standard” memo format to ensure branding is
consistent throughout the organization.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak stressed the importance of involving the impacted neighborhoods regarding discussions
about the new stadium and parking on game days, events, etc.
Mayor Troxell:
1. Met with Wellington Mayor Jack Brinkhoff and Commissioner Tom Donnelly to talk about transit in
Wellington. Mayor Troxell suggested a meeting with the Wellington town manager and City Manager
Atteberry to explore this further.
