Deputy City Manager Mihelich: • Noted that staff is working with the Poudre School District (PSD) to adjust a few of the Transfort routes to accommodate the changing time for school starts. There was discussion about students who use Transfort to get to school and about how the proposed changes might impact other Transfort riders on these routes. Staff is asked to provide a memo to Council describing what is occurring, student usage, and illustrating the partnership the City has with PSD and others related to this. • Noted that the greenhouse gas inventory update is nearing completion and shows that the City is slightly behind on projected reductions. There was discussion about whether there are concerns about this information being provided in the same timeframe as the climate emergency resolution Council will consider. There were no concerns. The City is doing a lot of work to address climate concerns, has a coherent plan to address things and will end up being ahead of projected reductions as planned improvements come online. • Noted that staff met with representatives from the Boxelder Sanitation District regarding the northeast planning area. The City will be recommending some compromises that may help efforts move forward. If they agree, an IGA will be prepared for Council to discuss at an upcoming work session. Mayor Pro Tem Stephens: • Attended a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) meeting where they discussed STBG, TA and CMAQ funding and the methods used to identify and score projects. There was discussion about the need to give the highest priority to regional improvements. A request was made to the MPO that they initiate a project to re-evaluate the way projects are ranked and the criteria used to score. More information on this item will be provided as it becomes available.
