EMERGENCY RULES AND REGULATIONS No. 2020-16
To all persons take notice:
That for the protection of life, health, safety and property as affected by reason of the Novel
Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), which resulted in my declaration of a “local emergency” under
the authority of Chapter 2, Article IX of the Code of the City of Fort Collins, (the “City”) and
which declaration of local emergency was filed with the City Clerk and with the Colorado
Division of Emergency Management on March 13, 2020 and extended by City Council adoption
of Resolution 2020-030 on March 20, 2020, I have hereby established, under the authority of
City Code Section 2-671(a)(6)a, the following rules and regulations:
1. Commencing upon the date signed below, and until further notice, the requirement set
forth in City Code Section 2-183(4) that proposed uses of Community Development
Block Grant funds received from the Department of Housing and Urban Development be
submitted to the Community Development Block Grant Commission (“CDBG
Commission”) so the CDBG Commission may make recommendations to City Council
regarding the use of said funds, shall not apply to proposed expenditures of special
Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (“CDBG-CV”) funds.
2. In lieu of submission of the proposed use of CDBG-CV funds to the CDBG Commission,
the Director of Social Sustainability (“Director”) or their designee shall consult with
appropriate City staff regarding the effective use of the CDBG-CV funds consistent with
the CDBG-CV program objectives and then submit recommendations to City Council for
consideration.
3. I find that this emergency rule and regulation is reasonable and necessary to more quickly
and efficiently identify priority needs and uses of this critical funding to assist with the
response for, and recovery of, those in the community who have been negatively
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This emergency rule and regulation promotes the
health, safety and welfare of the public because it will provide an expedited way for the
City to fund CDBG-eligible uses, including assisting low- and moderate-income persons
with immediate financial assistance.
