During the staff presentation, an overview will be provided (“Metro Districts 101”) that describes the purpose of metro districts. The applicants will speak to their respective metro district when the Mayor calls for citizen comment on the agenda item. A review of the following areas will be conducted during the Work Session budget discussion: 1. Safe Community; 2. Transportation; 3. Culture and Recreation. During the September 20 Budget Hearing, many residents expressed their support to have the BFO offer funded for Sunday Transfort (bus) service. Staff is asked to be prepared to talk about the factors that weighed into this offer falling below the line and, for a future memo, outline the offers that could be cut if Council elected to fund Sunday bus service. October 4 Regular Meeting The LPT reviewed the draft agenda for October 4. The second public hearing for the budget will be held. Also on the Discussion Agenda is a resolution supporting the City’s ballot question regarding KFCG Sales and Use Tax. Staff is asked to consider if there are any Staff Reports that could be added to the October 4 agenda (presently there are only two discussion items scheduled). Six Month Planning Calendar City Manager Atteberry reported the Economic Health Office (EHO) has been working with a Japanese based venture firm, Future Venture Capital (FVC) regarding a statement of collaboration between the City and FVC. During a recent meeting with FVC, it was mentioned that Council, represented by the Mayor, might like to Leadership Planning Team Meeting September 26, 2016 Page 2 of 3 recognize this statement of collaboration in some way. For the October 4 meeting, the LPT requested staff prepare a resolution acknowledging the statement of collaboration. City Attorney Daggett reported that the Legislative Review Committee (LRC) has requested Council address the issues with taxing requirements for water rebates (no such requirement exists for electric rebates). Staff will add this discussion to the October 18 Regular Meeting. The LRC is watching the progress of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement and may request that staff add it to the Calendar for future discussion. Other Discussion Items: Assistant City Manager DiMartino reported: 1. Staff will be providing an updated matrix to Council that captures the latest budget recommendations from boards and commissions. 2. A memo was included in the Thursday packet about Short Term Rentals. The LPT commended staff for the graphics included with the memo and requested that this topic be added to the December 20 Regular Meeting. City Manager Atteberry noted: 1. He had a conversation with Kelly Giddens, who is leading the effort for the Scientific and Cultural District tax effort, to explore the financial ramifications to the City if the tax passes. Ms. Giddens reported that the City would not be eligible to receive any of the tax. The City Attorney’s Office will review the issue further and provide an analysis to Council. 2. Baldrige examiners will be onsite Monday - Thursday. A kick-off meeting is being held with a presentation in the morning, followed by team meetings. The examiners hope to meet with half the workforce. Mayor Pro Tem Horak commented on the following items from the Thursday, September 22 packet: 1. Council Initiatives Dashboard. Staff was commended for the information included. 2. Board and Commission Work Plans. In a memo for the Thursday packet, staff is asked to outline the next steps when a Work Plan is received (what action is required of Council?). 3. Ozone Update. The update was appreciated. Mayor Pro Tem Horak discussed: 1. As a future process improvement, when a board or commission provides a budget recommendation, it would be helpful for them to prioritize their recommendations. When the recommendation is for an offer that is not included in the City Manager’s recommended budget, what offer(s) should be cut so that their recommendation could be funded? 2. In an emergency, such as when the SWAT Team is deployed, it was requested that staff proactively monitor social media sites and respond to neighbor inquiries, particularly on Next Door. Mayor Troxell attended: 1. CML’s Mayor’s Summit last week and gave a presentation on Council relationships. John Suthers from Colorado Springs presented information on his community’s efforts to address transient-related and homelessness issues.
