title
Subcommittee to Study Utility Advisory Board Code Provisions (B)
recommendation
Discuss as subcommittee deems appropriate.
explanation
On November 28, 2017, at a joint meeting of the City Commission and the Utility Advisory Board (UAB), both boards expressed interest in creating a subcommittee, consisting of two members from each board, to further discuss the City Code provisions that govern the UAB and determine what Code changes, if any, should be made. When the subcommittee has completed its discussions, it will then report its recommendations to the UAB and City Commission. At its meeting on December 14, 2017, the UAB approved creation of the subcommittee and appointed UAB members Michael Selvester and Mary Alford to the subcommittee. At its meeting on January 4, 2018, the City Commission approved creation of the subcommittee and appointed Commissioners Budd and Ward to the subcommittee.
At this first meeting of the subcommittee, the subcommittee may wish to select a member to serve as chair of the meetings. The subcommittee may also wish to discuss how it will focus its discussions. To assist in that regard, attached as back-up to this agenda item are the following documents: a copy of the City Charter, the City Code sections regarding the UAB, a draft Independent Utility Board ordinance prepared by UAB Member Michael Selvester, and the Fort Collins Energy Policy and Energy Board model provided by citizen Nancy Deren.
