MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 17, 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, City Attorney Carrie Daggett, and City Clerk Wanda Winkelmann met on Monday, October 17, and the
following summarizes the discussions that began at 7:32 a.m.
October 18 Regular Meeting
Regarding the first discussion item (intersection improvement project at Prospect Road and College Avenue),
Mayor Troxell reported he had a discussion with property owner Kevin Harper about sidewalks.
The second discussion item is the Stormwater Easement at the Gardens on Spring Creek. Deputy City Manager
Mihelich stated the landscape plan was included with the agenda materials, and a neighborhood meeting will be
scheduled.
Six Month Planning Calendar
The LPT discussed the schedule for the evaluations of the City Manager, City Attorney, and Municipal Judge. The
evaluations will be held at an Adjourned Meeting on November 29, and the November 8 meeting will be
cancelled.
The January 10 Work Session includes the topic Electric Capacity Fees. For a future Thursday packet memo, staff
is asked to state if onsite capacity (such as solar) would reduce the need for electric capacity. This item is not
scheduled for discussion with the Council Finance Committee prior to the Work Session.
The LPT requested that the February 7 topic Sign Code Update be discussed at Work Session first.
Staff is asked to review the Work Sessions for October 25 and November 22 since only two topics are scheduled
for both of those evenings.
For the November 22 Work Session topic Council Appeal Process Amendments, City Clerk Winkelmann
suggested a different format for the discussion. Similar to the format followed when the Council Election Code
Committee discusses possible amendments, staff will present a change, turn it over for Council
questions/comments, and then the next change will be presented. This format helps avoid redundancy and
provides clear direction to staff.

Other Discussion Items:
Deputy City Manager Mihelich:
1. Stated that the NLC is requesting a proxy for their Annual Business Meeting in November. In accordance
with past practice, a resolution will be brought forward at the November 1 meeting to designate the
Mayor as proxy, and Mayor Pro Tem as alternate.
2. Reported that the Northern Colorado Aids Project has requested the installation of sharps containers at
parks and Natural Areas. Staff will provide a memo that outlines the issues involved in this request.
Provided an update on NISP and staff will provide a memo for further discussion.
City Manager Atteberry noted the Campus West Police Station is moving forward.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak discussed the following items from the October 13 Thursday packet:
1. City Manager’s Update:
a. On page 4, the Sales and Use Tax Collection gives a 2% year-to-date increase over the prior year.
What was the original projection and what is the amount in dollars?
b. Also on page 4, an update is given on the Pedestrian Access project. Is there an online map
showing the work being done? Are the items in blue hotlinks?
c. Vine and Lemay BNSF Improvements are given on page 8. Is a neighborhood meeting scheduled
in the near future to discuss the work in that neighborhood?
d. Regarding the summary of PFA responses (which start on page 14), it was suggested a
condensed version could be provided that highlights significant events.
2. Marijuana Updates. The LPT requested that the staff recommendations be brought forward (the
amendments regarding testing provisions and transporter licenses).
3. Road to 2020. It was suggested that the interim brand of “Road to 2020” contain a “+” after 2020 to
indicate this is an effort beyond 2020. It would have been helpful if the report contained the projected
cost savings (not just the benefits), the growth that has occurred in wind/solar, and the impacts of
Transfort, MAX, and Bustang to reduce greenhouse gas from ground transportation.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak discussed the following:
1. Performance Measures. It was suggested that staff could work with the Alliance for Innovation, NLC,
and CML to host a conference in Fort Collins on performance measures and outcomes.
2. Next Door. Staff was commended for posting updates on Next Door regarding police actions. The PFA
has done an excellent job with proactive postings.
Mayor Troxell:
1. Discussed the Colorado Governors Fellowship Program. This program seeks to encourage mid-level
career executives to increase their understanding of civic leadership.
2. Visited the Kosher Bistro at CSU.
3. Attended the 41st Anniversary Open House of Fineprint Imaging.
4. Participated in the Alliance of National Heritage Areas event.
5. Noted the 100th Anniversary of Community of Christ Church.
The meeting adjourned at 9:24 a.m.
