questions.
Regarding Discussion Item #20 about Capital Expansion Fees (CEF), staff is asked to provide a Read-before memo
that discusses two options for Council’s consideration regarding the timing of when CEFs are applied.
Six Month Calendar
As noted last week, CSU Game Day Operations will be discussed at the June 13 Work Session. In the
presentation, staff is asked to discuss the plan to address pre-and post-game activities, noise, and parties. What
efforts are being made to increase awareness to the City’s party registration program?
The Work Session item Time of Use Electric Rates will be moved to July 11 to accommodate the number of items
on June 13.
A discussion on Short Term Rentals (STRs) has been added to the July 11 Work Session. Staff will be providing a
memo in advance with options for Council to consider regarding issues that are emerging with implementation
of the current licensing regulations.
Utilities Raw Water Requirements will be discussed at the August 15 Regular Meeting. Staff is asked to bring this
item forward separately (rather than rolled into an overall fee discussion) due to the need to address these
requirements now.

2. The progress that is being made in resolving issues at Police Services. This fall, a community
conversation will occur regarding the use of force.
3. A recruiter has been hired to coordinate the recruitment process for the new Police Chief. Mr.
Atteberry will hold meetings/listening sessions to ensure the hiring process includes community
engagement.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted:
1. The Open Streets event held this weekend was well done. He suggested a more directed Council
outreach during this event, such as Councilmembers being at the City’s booth throughout the day to
address current or upcoming issues.
2. During his recent listening session, citizen Eric Sutherland expressed concern regarding the City’s
compliance with Urban Renewal Authority statutes and specifically the URA’s budget. Staff is asked to

Thursday packet.

1. Eminent Domain. He was interviewed by consultant Lyman Ho and looks forward to Mr. Ho’s report on
the condemnation practices of the City of Fort Collins.
2. Imminent Danger. A clear definition will be created (and how and when the term is applied) early in
2018.
3. Climate Action Plan: May Update. A statistically valid survey will be sent to the community to
determine what messaging would encourage broad participation.
4. Multi-Use Path Project Update. Due to an article that appeared in The Coloradoan, this memo from
January 2017 was resent at the request of LPT. In future updates, it is requested that all sources of
funding and partnerships be identified. CDOT and the NFRMPO provided funding and recommendations
for this project.
