fcgov.com/council-meeting-participation-signup/

• All speakers will be called to speak by the presiding officer from the list of those signed up. After everyone signed up is called on, the presiding officer may ask others wishing to speak to identify themselves by raising their hand (in person or using the Raise Hand option on Zoom), and if in person then will be asked to move to one of the two lines of speakers (or to a seat nearby, for those who are not able to stand while waiting).
• The presiding officer will determine and announce the length of time allowed for each speaker.
• Each speaker will be asked to state their name and general address for the record, and, if their comments relate to a particular agenda item, to identify the agenda item number. Any written comments or materials intended for the Council should be provided to the City Clerk.
• A timer will beep one time and turn yellow to indicate that 30 seconds of speaking time remain and will beep again and turn red when a speaker’s time has ended.
[**For questions about the development review process or the status of any particular development, consult the City's Development Review Center page at fcgov.com/developmentreview, or contact the Development Review Center at 970.221.6760.]
CONSENT CALENDAR
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow Council to spend its time and energy on the important items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar by either Council or the City Manager will be considered separately under their own Section, titled “Consideration of Items Removed from Consent Calendar for Individual Discussion.” Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by Council with one vote. The Consent Calendar consists of:
• Ordinances on First Reading that are routine;
• Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;
• Those of no perceived controversy;
• Routine administrative actions.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 16, 2025, establishes the 2026 compensation of the Chief Judge. Council met in executive session on November 25, 2025, to conduct the performance review of Chief Judge Jill Hueser and to review the salary market analysis for this position.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 16, 2025, amends City Code to establish the 2026 salary of the City Manager. Council met in executive session on November 25, 2025, to conduct the performance review of City Manager Kelly DiMartino and to review the salary market analysis for this position.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 16, 2025, amends City Code to establish the 2026 compensation of the City Attorney. Council met in executive session on November 25, 2025, to conduct the performance review of City Attorney Carrie Daggett and to review the salary market analysis for this position.
The purpose of this item is to stay the operation of Ordinance No. 201, 2025, Ordinance No. 211, 2025 (Building Code), Ordinance No. 212, 2025 (Energy Conservation Code), Ordinance No. 213, 2025 (Residential Code), Ordinance No. 214, 2025 (Existing Building Code), Ordinance No. 215, 2025 (Swimming Pool & Spa Code), Ordinance No. 216, 2025 (Property Maintenance Code), Ordinance No. 217, 2025 (Mechanical Code), Ordinance No. 218, 2025 (Fuel Gas Code), Ordinance No. 219, 2025 (Plumbing Code), and Ordinance No. 221, 2025 (National Electrical Code), until April 1, 2026 to clarify Council’s intent that the previously adopted building codes remain in effect until that time.
The purpose of this item is to approve two agreements regarding the use of the City’s shares in the Water Supply and Storage Company (“WSSC”). The City’s WSSC shares are needed to provide water service to the City’s Water Utility customers.
The “Agreement Between the Water Supply and Storage Company and the Municipal Entity Stockholders” describes the framework for planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and funding of modifications to the WSSC system needed to ensure reliable water delivery to all shareholders (“WSSC System Modifications”).
The “Cost Allocation Agreement for WSSC System Modifications” describes how the water provider shareholders, including the City, will share the costs related to the WSSC System Modifications. The City’s share of such costs is approximately 6%. Both of these agreements are necessary for the City Water Utility to be able to fully utilize its WSSC shares for the benefit of the rate payers of the City Water Utility and the residents of Fort Collins.
The purpose of this item is to consider a resolution to direct staff to evaluate and propose arrangements for reorganizing the administration of Municipal Court. The primary objective is to enhance operational efficiency and improve customer service by moving business operations under the City Manager’s Office.
