Public participation for the meeting will be available in four ways: in person, by phone, online through Zoom and by email. There will be Spanish interpretation. • Item 11 is the resolution in support of Medicare for all. Mayor Arndt expressed concern with language in the resolution title that expresses “support for improved Medicare for all as a national or state health care system.” It was requested to remove the reference to a potential state run health care system, as the intent was to support Medicare for All at the federal level. The Agenda Item Summary and Resolution will be updated to reflect that and distributed via the read before packet ahead of tomorrow’s meeting. • Item 12 is the second reading of Ordinance No. 020, 2022 supporting temporary Fort Colins Housing Permits for victims of the Marshall/Boulder County Fire. The item has an amendment pre-drafted and included with the Agenda Item Summary for Council consideration regarding tenants being allowed to take advantage of these provisions with the property owner’s consent. If Council wishes to include the language from the amendment in the ordinance, it can be moved with the amendment, or moved and then amended. • Under Other Business, Council is scheduled to adjourn the meeting until the end of an electric enterprise board meeting. The Council will come to order and act on an enterprise board ordinance on its separate agenda. Then after completing the enterprise board meeting and Leadership Planning Team Meeting February 28, 2022 Page 2 of 3 adjourning that meeting, the Council meeting will resume and continue with additional items under Other Business. • There will be two executive session items. It was noted there have been questions from some members of Council about what is expected as part of the consideration of these items. Council members received confidential memos regarding both topics last Thursday. On the first executive session item, it is a proposed settlement for Council to consider. For the second item regarding the Thornton Water Pipeline Project, legal background about recent discussions will be the topic. 6-Month Calendar: • Upcoming meetings were reviewed with particular attention to newly added items indicated by red text. • A new time for the March URA board meeting has been set for March 31 to accommodate the schedule for the City Manager recruitment process. • Mayor Pro Tem Francis asked if there were plans to add anything to the 5th Tuesday in March. As of now, there is not anything scheduled, although City Attorney Daggett noted there is not yet a time scheduled for the vote identifying a city manager candidate to negotiate a contract with. Mayor Arndt shared there will be a meeting of the ad hoc committee working on the manager selection process this week where this timing could be tentatively discussed. The desire to minimize scheduling Council meetings for executive sessions outside of the normal meeting cadence was discussed. City Clerk Hollingshead: • No additional items. Deputy City Manager Stannert: • Noted today will be a meeting of the Election Code Committee, and the first opportunity for City Clerk Hollingshead to meet with that committee as they shape recommendations for the upcoming work session on potential shifts to election timing and administration. • Shared there will be a meeting with staff and Outreach Fort Collins again today in support of coordinating public safety concerns near Library Park. City Attorney Daggett: • No additional items. Leadership Planning Team Meeting February 28, 2022 Page 3 of 3 Interim City Manager DiMartino: • Shared she and Councilmember Peel will be meeting with Linden Street businesses this week regarding their concerns around access during construction. • Noted staff is following up with the homeowners who wrote to the Council about the challenges they have had with obtaining a certificate of occupancy for a newly constructed home. (Note: Following the meeting, the Chief Building Official was able to confirm that a temporary certificate of occupancy was issued to the homeowner last week). Mayor Pro Tem Francis: • Talked to Housing Catalyst about electric vehicle charging implications. There is a potential incurred cost from the charges associated with charging, and a question about whether it is even possible to associate specific costs for charging to specific tenants. Housing Catalyst expressed concern that they would be impacted based on their model of providing housing in multi-dwelling units if the costs cannot be charged back to individual units. • Noted a request from some community members for a resolution to support Ukraine at Tuesday’s meeting. There was some discussion around determining which issues on the national and international stage to engage on as a local government. It was decided the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem will discuss this further and the Mayor will follow up about this ahead of the meeting on a direction. Mayor Arndt: • Shared some of the thoughts the discussions of installation of charging stations for electric vehicles are bringing up, including the expanding use of public dollars in setting up public stations. There will need to be shifts to electric service delivery and collaboration to accommodate these new models and changes. Meeting adjourned at 8:38 a.m. NOTE: Next week’s LPT meeting will occur on Tuesday, March 8, at 9 a.m. to accommodate the employee forum with city manager candidates on Monday.
