RE: Revised CSU Intergovernmental Agreement
Bottomline: In 2015, the City and CSU entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) to
address the construction and opening of the new stadium. The 5-year term of this agreement
concluded this year and both parties agreed to a new 5-year IGA. The fundamental structure and
intention of the new IGA is the same as the previous version, with the purpose of the original
agreement to ensure the stadium experience continues to be of benefit to the community. We
wanted to provide an update on the process moving forward to finalize this agreement.
The IGA was finalized after a collaborative process between City staff and CSU
representatives.
A formal letter will be sent to the Stadium Advisory Group communicating this group will
be dissolved and thanking them for their service.
The revised IGA will go before Council as a resolution on the consent agenda.
Background: The City and CSU came together in a collaborative approach to review and discuss
the previous IGA. This process included virtual brainstorming, wordsmithing and research into
other college towns with stadiums, resulting in multiple iterations of the IGA. These drafts were
reviewed with engagement from other City departments including Transfort, Parking, Traffic
Operations, and Neighborhood Services. Since the last update to council, additional reviews and
refinement of the draft IGA have taken place by both CSU and the City. Key changes were:
CSU and the City both agree to a continued partnership to ensure mutually beneficial
outcomes during major events, such as football home games.
Most of the updates are to reflect post-construction of the stadium and existing operation
agreements and coordination efforts between CSU and City agencies and neighborhoods.
The most substantive changes to the IGA are related to public transportation services, the
Stadium Advisory Group, and the Good Neighbor Fund.
