OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
CORRECTING AN ERROR IN ORDINANCE NO.046,2023,
REGARDING FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
BY DELETING OBSOLETE SECTION 2-638
A.Article VIII of Chapter 2 of the City Code describes financial disclosure
requirements for certain City officers and employees.
B.The provisions of Article VIII have been in place for over 50 years,with a
few limited updates over the years.
C.Section 2-636 of the City Code specifies when financial disclosures are
required.
D.In April 2023,the City Council adopted Ordinance No.046,2023,updating
Section 2-636 and providing new timing and consolidating the language addressing initial
disclosures with those addressing ongoing annual financial disclosure updates,and
changing the date for annual reporting to January 10.
E.Section 2-636 as amended also describes in detail the process for filing
financial disclosures both initially and for ongoing updates.
F.When Section 2-636 was amended to address requirements for annual
updates,Section 2-638 was intended to be deleted,as the provisions of Section 2-638
regarding annual updates are in conflict with the updated requirements set out in Section
2-636 as it was amended in 2023 and so are obsolete.
G.Council desires to correct this error by deleting Section 2-638,which will
ensure the financial disclosure requirements are clear and consistent with Council’s
action and intent in 2023.
In light of the foregoing recitals,which the Council hereby makes and adopts as
determinations and findings,BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that,consistent the changes to annual financial disclosure requirements
enacted in Ordinance No.046,2023,Section 2-638 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins,
entitled Amended Statement,is hereby deleted.
Introduced,considered favorably on first reading on June 17,2025,and approved
on second reading for final passage on July 1,2025.
