The amended IGA clarifies that the 2018 financial commitment is subject to appropriation by City Council and removes penalty language in the event of a termination due to non-appropriation. Consent Agenda Item #16 concerning the Josh Ames Water Certificates will be postponed to March 21 so that the Water Board (which meets on March 16) can provide their recommendation to Council. For the item approving the Charter of the Regional Water Collaboration Steering Committee (Consent Item #17), Councilmember Overbeck requested (and the LPT supported) the addition of language to the resolution that the meetings will comply with the Open Meeting Law. This amendment will be included in Council’s Read-before packet. The item related to the Boxelder Basin Regional Stormwater Authority (BBRSA) settlement (Consent Agenda Item #18) has been withdrawn from the agenda. The Town of Wellington is not in agreement with the payment obligation outlined in the agreement. The second Discussion Item is Regulating Use of Public Facilities. Citizen Lynn Thompson sent an email to Council with questions about the amount of personal belongings, such as a person who has three suitcases. A response from staff will be included in the Read-before packet. The LPT requested an amendment to the ordinance that requires the City Manager to report back in one year with an update and any suggested amendments. Discussion Item #31 brings forward a licensing structure for Short Term Rentals. In addition to the seven changes proposed by the Neighborhood Action Coalition, staff will be prepared to address an amendment that includes home owners living in an adjacent lot to an STR to be considered primary. Also, the LPT discussed the possibility of amending the ordinance to remove required inspections by the City and instead have STRs be self- regulating. Removing the required inspection would mean lower City fees for STR owners. Leadership Planning Team Meeting March 6, 2017 Page 2 of 3 Six Month Calendar The LPT made several changes to the Calendar: 1. Move the staff report “Upper Poudre Watershed Collaborative Water Quality Monitoring Program” to the Work Session on April 25. Staff is requested to expand the scope of the presentation by discussing topics such as water quality, Halligan, vulnerability study, fire recovery efforts, and the concern about future fires. 2. A bigger discussion is requested for “Community Behavioral Health” by adding it to the May 9 Work Session. Where are we now, where are we headed, and how can we work with Larimer County on this issue? 3. In advance of the April 18 staff report on Outreach Fort Collins, staff is asked to provide an update on the status of the Homeless Management Information Database. Staff will reach out to Mayor Troxell and Mayor Pro Tem Horak to discuss their expectations for the Organized Energy Markets Work Session on June 13. Other Discussion Items Assistant City Manager DiMartino stated staff was exploring venue options for the Friday portion of the Council retreat. The LPT suggested using the Innosphere for both sessions (Friday and Saturday). City Manager Atteberry reported: 1. The Downtown ban on smoking has been directly enforced the past two weekends, with over fifty citations issued. 2. He will provide updates to Council in his 1:1’s regarding a letter from the Town of Timnath to CDOT about the interchange at Prospect and I-25. 3. The City’s internal employee program “One Planet” was recognized by Harvard’s “Innovation in American Government Bright Ideas” program. The One Planet program engages employees in creating a culture of sustainability, including support of Climate Action Plan goals. Mayor Pro Tem Horak discussed the following items from the March 2 Thursday packet: 1. Memo from the HRC and Letter from Marina Poling Regarding Appropriate Use of Public Space. It was requested that staff provide written responses to these correspondence. 2. Homeless Resource Guide. It was requested that staff place this information on the table in the lobby in advance of tomorrow night’s Council meeting. 3. Bike Patrol Activity. Kudos for the work! 4. CSU Renewable Pledge. Thank you for the information. 5. Science Advisory Committee for NISP. Appreciated the memo and staff’s analysis. Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted: 1. At his Listening Session, a citizen stated that commuter permits are cheaper than parking permits for CSU. Staff is asked to respond in a SAR. 2. He congratulated Street Superintendent Larry Schneider for posting Mountain Avenue construction updates on NextDoor. Leadership Planning Team Meeting March 6, 2017 Page 3 of 3 City Attorney Daggett noted staff is exploring a process to determine which topics require additional time for public feedback on a proposed ordinance (such as was done recently for Short Term Rentals). One option is for staff to utilize the “Anticipated Level of Controversy” score generated by the public engagement plan outline to determine which ordinances need additional time. Mayor Troxell requested information on the next steps for the public nudity lawsuit. It was requested that staff find a time on March 16, 17, or 20 for City Council to hold a Special Meeting and consider adjourning to Executive Session to receive legal advice. The meeting adjourned at 9:48 a.m.
