(staff: Lindsay Ex, Jeff Mihelich, Jackie Kozak-Thiel, Amanda King; 15 minute staff presentation; 45 minute discussion) The purpose of this Work Session is three-fold:  Provide an update on the implementation of the City’s Climate Action goals, including updated projections from funded initiatives and additional initiatives identified, highlights from funded initiatives, and future directions for this work;  Focus on the transition from planning to implementation and the associated language, including branding, the City has developed to increase community engagement to achieve the goals; and  Review the overall next steps, including the process for finalizing the 2020 roadmap and messaging and engagement strategies around climate action. 2. Residential Electric Time of Use Pilot Study. (staff: Lance Smith, Randy Reuscher; 15 minute staff presentation; 45 minute discussion) The purpose of this item is to present the results of the 12-month residential electric time of use (TOU) pilot study. The study showed that when compared to the current tiered rate structure both TOU rate structures reduced energy use by 2.5% and load was shifted from the on peak periods to the off peak periods, thereby reducing our community’s contribution to the Platte River Power Authority’s (PRPA) coincident peak. The additional complexity of the tiered TOU rate over the basic TOU rate did not provide any statistically significant difference from the basic TOU. Based on the City of Fort Collins Page 2 pilot staff is recommending that Council consider adopting a TOU rate without the tier for all residential customers. 3. City Foundation Creation. (Nalo Johnson, Mike Beckstead; 10 minute staff presentation; 20 minute discussion) The purpose of this item is to provide an update to City Council as to establishing a City of Fort Collins Foundation (City Fund) through the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, as advised by the Council Finance Committee. The update provides an operational recommendation as to how the City Fund will be implemented and seeks Council input on the planned implementation. Residents may currently donate directly to the City as well as to city-related non-profits, such as the Friends of the Gardens on Spring Creek or the Lincoln Center Support League. Creation of the City Fund offers people another option by which they may donate to the City. The City Fund seeks to enhance City-related projects and should not be viewed as a replacement for the City budget. The City Fund will be governed by an Advisory Committee similar to the ways in which Community Fund Committees are structured at the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado. The City Fund will be structured as a portfolio of funds to encompass both organic funding needs (project ideas generated by the Advisory Committee, Council, City staff and/or community members themselves) and strategic funding needs (projects that are related to a specific City priority or initiative).  OTHER BUSINESS.  ADJOURNMENT.
