veracity), as much an indictment of ethical failure as anything else. No mention of City Charter
requirements for residency, etc. Even the circulation - noted at the bottom - is insufficient to rise above
any standard of ethics. Obviously, this document was intended to be shared with two individuals and
buried in the City Clerk's office where even the inquries of a motivated citizen were unable to unearth it.
Last Thursday, at the joint meeting in Loveland, you heard Commisioner Lew Gaiter 111 express his
philosophy that he and others govern with the consent of the governed. I have had the opportunity to
listen and talk to Mr. Gaiter enough times to believe that he really thinks this way and it informs what he
does as an elected official. I had the feeling that he might as well have been talking in a foreign
language when addressing you.

Darin Atteberry, City Manager
It is nearly impossiple to suspend disbelief and accept Wanda's explanation that she was asked for this
information this morning and put two and two together. I spent an hour in the City Clerk's office
yesterday requesting and examining documents pertaining to financial disclousures pertaining to the
office of City Manager. As Wanda will tell you, my examinations were thorough enough to reveal
certain deficiencies in the public record which were corrected before I left.
It is s0000 very easy to forge such documents.
This is why we disclose significant financial interests in matters coming before elected officials as
publicly as the important details of the decisions themselves. This standard of ethics is considered basic,
primordial. No public institution of government can feign ignorance of such a standard. It is part and
parcel of public life in this country. It is the reason we enjoy such abundant prosperity from the results
of our collective enterprises. It is one of the most important building blocks of our society. Without
such standards of ethics, it would be impossible for the governors to govern with the consent of the
governed.
There are places that suffer from failure to observe such common sense practices. I'd like to ensure that
Fort Collins does not join them. This is why I am unreserved in stating that you lack the understanding
of ethics necessary for your position. You are feigning ignorance of the efficacy and necessity of the
most basic rule of ethics imaginable.
Kelly did not seem so very pleased the other day when applying this standard to a member of the P&Z.
It was a nearly identical situation, but somehow there' seems to be a different interpretation in this case.
Do you have any financial ties to CSURF? Campus Crest? Rocky Mountain Innosphere? Even a
cursory examination of recent events would lead anyone to speculate that you do. Leading witnesses in
land use appeals. Celebrating obvious breaches of ethics that have severed the public from thier
treasure. Instructing staff to obtain certain outcomes that are counter -purposeful to rule of law -Our
Law- regardless of the impacts to the quality of this community.
The disclosure ( attached) only came to my attention after multiple inquiries, all of which could have
been answered with a simple yes or no. It took over 24 hours to obtain.
The disclosure is deficient in that it does not accurately correlate a successful outcome to a public
process to the financial interests of the public official who purportedly authored it. It is, (assuming its
