MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 15, 2017
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, Assistant City Manager Kelly DiMartino, City Attorney Carrie Daggett, and City Clerk Wanda
Winkelmann met on Monday, May 15, and the following summarizes the discussions that began at 6:32 a.m.
May 16 Regular Meeting
After Roll Call, the Mayor will recognize City Employee awards for public service recognition week.
The first Discussion Item (#12) concerns the naming of streets. In a Read-before memo, staff is to indicate if
street names can only come from the list of approved names.
City Manager Atteberry stated Councilmember Summers would like to address the City’s West Nile Virus (WNV)
policy under “Other Business.” The LPT requested that this be added to the May 16 Agenda.
Also added to the May 16 Agenda is an adjournment to May 23 for Council to discuss their assignments to
various boards, committees, and authorities.
Emails have been sent to Council about a “Community Trust” ordinance that citizens may discuss under “Citizen
Participation.” A Spanish interpreter will be at the meeting.
Six Month Calendar
As noted above, an Adjourned Meeting will be held on May 23 prior to the Work Session.
Deputy City Manager Mihelich noted staff’s request for a July 25 Work Session and August 15 Regular Meeting
regarding NISP. The purpose of the Work Session is to provide an update on staff’s discussions with Northern,
and the Regular Meeting is to take associated action with state’s mitigation plan. In the Thursday packet, staff is
asked to provide a memo that provides an update on the activities thus far, the timelines going forward, and
describes the public engagement process that will be followed. Also, the LPT requested that the agenda
materials be provided as soon as possible in advance of the Work Session/Regular Meeting.
The staff team working on Broadband has suggested the following schedule:
1. July 11 – Work Session to provide an update.
2. First week in August – first reading of ordinance submitting ballot language.
3. August 15 – second reading of ordinance.

Since a Council meeting won’t be held on August 2 due to Neighborhood Night out, staff is asked to poll Council
which days would work that week to hold a Regular Council Meeting.
Staff is asked to determine a date to bring forward the Hageman request to purchase certain property at
Running Deer Natural Area for consideration. As noted previously, the LPT stated the two options are either to
sell the property to the Hagemans or continue the lease.
Other Discussion Items
Deputy City Manager Mihelich stated:
1. The City has received the 2017 Playful City USA Designation.
2. Staff will be meeting with the Prairie Dog Coalition to discuss recent expansions by prairie dogs into
adjacent areas. An update will be sent to Council following the meeting.
3. Staff will provide a memo for the Thursday packet that discusses proposed landmark designations for
four City-owned properties. Designating these properties may provide grant opportunities for major
rehabilitations.
4. Social Sustainability Director Beth Sowder will be attending a conference on supportive housing on May
24-26 (as noted in CML’s newsletter).
City Manager Atteberry reported:
1. A ground breaking for the Maple Hill Park will be held on May 22. Staff is recommending that the park
be named Crescent Park. There will be more to come on this item.

bargaining agreement.
City Attorney Daggett stated a white paper on Short Term Rentals (STR) will be in this Thursday’s packet.

1. Comment on the Biennial Budget – Abbreviated Version included in last Thursday’s packet. In future
reports, it is suggested that graphs list rates from lowest to highest. Values listed in pie charts should be
arranged from highest to lowest in a clockwise manner. It would be helpful to provide a flow chart that
depicts the entire BFO process.
2. He provided two documents from the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
that will be copied for Thursday’s packet (Project Status Updates and Newsletter).
