Fort Collins City Council
300 LaPorte Ave.
Fort Collins, CO 80521
Dear Mayor Troxell, Mayor-Pro Tem Horak and Council Members Campana,
Cunniff, Martinez, Overbeck, and Stephens;
The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce encourages Council to adopt the
resolution directing city staff to engage in discussions and negotiations with
Northern Water regarding the Northern Integrated Supply Project – NISP.
The approach proposed by staff does not change the City’s position. It is a tactical
shift giving staff greater flexibility in negotiating the best outcomes for Fort
Collins. Those best outcomes include:
• A reduction of adverse impacts to water quality, wastewater treatment
facilities and ecology on the Poudre River.
• A reduction of adverse impacts due to storm and flood waters.
• Improvements to recreational and aesthetic aspects of the Poudre River
through Fort Collins including peak and base flows.
We encourage you to take advantage of a win-win opportunity and to vote Yes on
Resolution 2017-024
Sincerely,
Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
David L. May
President & CEO
