ROLL CALL
City of Fort Collins Page 3
1. Emergency Ordinance No. 126, 2020 Suspending Certain Provisions of the City’s Land Use Code to
Permit Temporary Use of the Property at 1709 West Elizabeth Street as Day Shelter.
The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider approving an emergency ordinance to allow a
temporary day shelter at Westminster Presbyterian Church, located at 1709 West Elizabeth Street.
Westminster Presbyterian Church has agreed to provide space for Homeward Alliance to operate an
inclement weather day shelter on its property beginning as soon as possible through no later than May
31, 2021. The church property is located in a low density residential (R-L) zone, and day shelters are
not an expressly permitted use, so this emergency ordinance is necessary to allow such use of the
property immediately. Emergency ordinances are authorized under the Charter in emergency
circumstances and require the affirmative vote of at least five (5) members of the Council for passage.
OTHER BUSINESS
A. Consideration of a motion to enter into an executive session to discuss issues related to the Larimer
County Landfill.

Specific legal questions related to potential litigation regarding environmental remediation of
conditions at the Larimer County Landfill and related obligations; and the manner in which the
particular policies, practices or regulations of the City related to environmental conditions at the
