OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
DISCONTINUING THE CITY'S LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE
WITH COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY
WHEREAS, the City and Colorado State University ("CSU") have historically dealt with
a number of issues of mutual interest, including land use, utility and transportation services, the
enforcement of municipal ordinances, human rights,and a wide variety of other topics; and
WHEREAS, the need for close cooperation and collaboration between the City and CSU
with regard to these kinds of issues is an ongoing one; and
WHEREAS, in 1998, the City Council adopted Resolution 1998-159, authorizing the
formation of a liaison committee with CSU to facilitate on-going,close communication among the
policy makers and administrative staff of the City and the administration, faculty and students of
CSU; and
WHEREAS, in 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 2014-118, establishing a new
City of Fort Collins/CSU Leadership Committee comprised of leadership from both entities,
intended to facilitate high-level communications between the two entities; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 2014-118 also modified the City/CSU Liaison Committee so it is
comprised of staff of the two entities, with the intent that it continue meeting on a quarterly basis
to discuss operational issues, resulting in improved understanding of and cooperation in resolving
student/neighborhood issues; and
WHEREAS, although Council made initial appointments to the City/CSU Leadership
Committee, the committee structure did not prove to be a suitable means for fostering ongoing
communications and coordination by organization leaders; and
WHEREAS, accordingly, Council desires to discontinue the City/CSU Leadership
Committee and to instead emphasize less formal efforts to coordinate and collaborate with CUS
leaders.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS that the City/CSU Leadership Committee is hereby discontinued.
