OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING THE FORMATION OF A LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE
WITH COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY
AND MODIFYING THE COMPOSITION OF
THE PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED CITY/CSU
LIAISON COMMITTEE
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, the City/CSU Liaison Committee has been meeting on a quarterly basis to
discuss operational issues, resulting in improved understanding of and cooperation in resolving
student/neighborhood issues; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the citizens of the City that representatives of the
City and CSU form a leadership committee to facilitate ongoing communication about strategy,
policy and long range planning issues that impact both CSU and the community; and
WHEREAS, in light of the formation of a new leadership committee, the previously
established liaison committee is being modified to remove the City Councilmember and City
Manager participation, so as to provide for a more administrative focus of that committee's
efforts.
