process that will be used to select the Mayor Pro Tem. If no alternative is approved by majority vote, the
Mayor’s proposed process is used.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council proceed with this item.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
There is a conflict in the City Charter between when the terms for new Councilmembers begins and when a
Mayor Pro Tem shall be elected.
Under Article II, Section 1(d), the Charter states that the terms of the Mayor and other members of the Council
shall begin when they take the oath of office, which shall occur as the first order of business at the first regular
or special Council meeting following the final certification of election results and after expiration of the recount
period, or their appointment.
Agenda Item 27
Item #27 Page 2
The recent election was certified on April 12. An individual has five days after this date to file a request for a
recount; until 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17 in this case. The next regular or special meeting following this
date is April 23, 2019, which is the date set aside to swear-in the new Council.
Under Article II, Section 4, the Charter states that at the first regular or special meeting after final certification of
a City election, the Council shall elect a Mayor Pro Tem for a two (2) year term from among the members of the
Council to act as Mayor during the absence or disability of the Mayor.
The suggested form of motion to accomplish this action is as follows:
“I move that the Council elect _________________ to serve as Mayor Pro Tem.”
Staff plans to suggest a change to this section to fix the discrepancy during the next round of Charter changes
that are sent to voters.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no expected financial impacts to the City organization.

the enforcement and administration of the IFC within the City. PFA routinely reviews new codes,
proposes local amendments, and seeks adoption of the IFC changes by the City Council. The

related to mobile food vendors, higher education laboratories, plant material processing and extraction
(cannabis), mobile fueling service, energy systems and the retroactive installation of fire suppression
systems in eating and drinking establishments with an occupant load in excess of 299. A proposed
City Code amendment mandates at least one means of egress (stairs) be provided in buildings under

Colorado Department of Transportation awarded the County a Federal Highway Safety Improvement

that the City contribute 100 percent of its incremental property tax revenue and 50 percent of the net
new incremental sales tax revenue associated with the current general fund rate of 2.25 percent.
However, this sales tax increment will be reduced by $405,000 to take into account that a nearby
grocery store is to be relocated to the Plan area. The amount of this reduction is an average of the
annual sales tax the City collects from the grocery stores and super-centers in the City.

prevents the Municipal Judge and temporary judge from hearing a particular Municipal Court case.
This agreement is intended to replace an existing 2017 IGA between Fort Collins, Loveland and
Greeley. The City of Greeley is not included in this IGA due to residency requirements that Greeley
currently has in place; however, the Resolution would approve adding Greeley to the IGA if its
residency requirements change in the near future.

22. Items Relating to Electrical Assisted Bicycles. (staff: Paul Sizemore; no staff presentation; 10 minute
discussion)
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2019, Enacting a Temporary Exemption from Certain
Restrictions in Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Allow Electrical Assisted
Bicycles on Paved Trails in City Natural Area and Recreation Areas.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2019, Amending Section 2106(2)(d) of the Fort Collins
Traffic Code Relating to Electrical Assisted Bicycles.
Ordinance No. 045, 2019, adopted on First Reading on March 19, 2019 by a vote of 6-1 (Nays:
Cunniff) implements a one-year pilot period to allow Class 1 and Class 2 electrical assisted bicycles
(e-bikes) on City paved trails. Ordinance No. 041, 2019, unanimously adopted on First Reading,
updates the City Traffic Code to remove the outdated term “motorized bicycle”.
In response to the growing popularity of e-bikes across the country, and the benefits e-bikes can
provide to individuals and communities in terms of health, mobility, and environmental sustainability,
staff recommends adoption of Ordinances allowing the use of Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes on paved
trails through a one-year pilot program. E-bikes are allowed on paved trails in most Colorado
communities, including neighboring jurisdictions of Larimer County, Boulder County, Loveland,
Longmont and Boulder. Eight Fort Collins City boards and commissions have voted in favor of a pilot
program to allow e-bikes on paved trails in Fort Collins.

23. Items Relating to Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements. (staff: Honore Depew,
Jacki Kozak-Thiel; 10 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion)
A. Resolution 2019-047 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid
Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2019 Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Direct
Mixed Construction and Demolition Materials to the Future Larimer County Construction and
Demolition Waste Processing Facility, Upon Its Completion.
The purpose of this item is to consider joining an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Larimer
County and other Regional Wasteshed Coalition partners for solid waste infrastructure proposed in a
2018 Larimer County Master Plan (Resolution 2019-047), and consider an ordinance directing all
mixed loads of construction and demolition waste to a future County-owned sorting facility, once that
facility is built (Ordinance No. 063, 2019).
The proposed intergovernmental agreement with Larimer County provides a framework for
collaboration between the parties that can lead to future infrastructure development. The agreement
does not obligate the City to enact any specific policies and consideration of local diversion measures
will be based on established principles of stakeholder engagement for innovation. Larimer County is
obligated under the IGA to fund and construct new facilities if enough recyclable/compostable material
is expected to reach them. Adopting the recommended building code changes would cause Larimer
County to begin development of a sorting/recycling facility for construction and demolition waste.
24. Items relating to the Adoption of City Plan and the Transit Master Plan. (staff: Cameron Gloss; 10
minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion)
A. Resolution 2019-048 Adopting an Updated City Plan, the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
B. Resolution 2019-049 Adopting the Transit Master Plan.
The purpose of this item is to request adoption for two important community vision and policy
documents: City Plan and the Transit Master Plan. City Plan is Fort Collins’ comprehensive and
transportation master plan, illustrating the community’s vision for the future and providing policy and
implementation recommendations to guide development and transportation over the next twenty
years. The Transit Master Plan was developed alongside City Plan and provides more specific
information on the long-range vision and strategy for transit service in Fort Collins.
Staff will provide highlights from both plans including what is new, revised, or reemphasized as
compared to the existing version of City Plan adopted in 2011. Staff will also outline key implementation
actions and strategies recommended to support the proposed policy direction in both plans.
25. Public Hearing and Resolution 2019-050 Approving the Consolidated Service Plan for the Mulberry
Metropolitan District Nos. 1-6. (staff: Josh Birks; 10 minute staff presentation; 15 minute applicant
presentation; 30 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider approval of the Mulberry Metropolitan District

to the Service Plan.
27. Consideration of a Motion to Elect a Mayor Pro Tem.

The proposed process for electing the Mayor Pro Tem is as follows:
1. Mayor describes the responsibilities of the Mayor Pro Tem:
