[1:01:54]

[1:02:15] Does anything materially change for users of the road ?

[1:02:19] To properly evaluate the proposal,

[1:02:20] the following questions should be asked, which I just

[1:02:23] did The standard operating procedures While there may be

[1:02:27] no immediate fiscal impact associated with accepting

[1:02:30] this roadway, the long term financial implications

[1:02:33] are significant.

[1:02:35] Ownership would transfer ongoing future costs to the town.

[1:02:39] Routine maintenance and repairs.

[1:02:42] Snow removal seasonal upkeep.

[1:02:44] Drainage infrastructure signage and safety improvements.

[1:02:47] We have to police it major resurfacing

[1:02:51] and eventual reconstruction.

[1:02:52] These costs would be borne by Johnstown taxpayers

[1:02:55] and over the long term A comprehensive, long term

[1:02:58] fiscal analysis is necessary before any decision is made.

[1:03:03] This should include projected costs over ten, 20 30 years,

[1:03:07] not just short term budget impacts.

[1:03:10] It's important to recognize that while acquisition

[1:03:12] may be free today ownership will not be free in the future.

[1:03:16] We learned that with Water and Storm water at this time,

[1:03:20] I can't support accepting the roadway

[1:03:22] without a clear and compelling benefit to the town.

[1:03:25] The decision should not be based on solely on opportune duty

[1:03:28] to assume ownership, but rather on a demonstrated public benefit

[1:03:32] that justifies the long term taxpayer

[1:03:35] obligation Before proceeding, I recommend

[1:03:38] that we we obtain a detailed long term fiscal impact

[1:03:42] analysis a clear explanation of the purpose and benefit

[1:03:46] of the transfer and a formal assessment of the consequences

[1:03:50] of the decline of declining the proposal Until these questions

[1:03:54] are fully addressed, I believe the town should proceed

[1:03:56] with caution and avoid assuming unnecessary long term

[1:04:00] infrastructure obligations as set out.

[1:04:04] Proposing just getting rid of the fringe road

[1:04:06] and not maintain at all.

[1:04:07] Or there just.

[1:04:08] Hey you guys want to take it over kind of a deal

[1:04:10] because that makes a difference because a lot of residential

[1:04:12] developments, the access that.

[1:04:14] Yeah, I mean so so if you look at the different access points

[1:04:19] that have been permitted I think see that has given us

[1:04:23] a lot of leniency with those because

[1:04:25] of the fact of anticipation of us take ownership

[1:04:29] of those roadways I would also note any time we annex property.

[1:04:36] We take the right of way right.

[1:04:41] So we end up maintaining those Those are our obligations.

[1:04:46] You can't just take the land You don't get the good

[1:04:51] but not the challenges that come with it to say that we haven't

[1:04:58] received a lot of economic benefit from this roadway I

[1:05:03] I'd I'd respectfully disagree between Wright John's and corner

[1:05:10] access on Ronald Reagan as a result

[1:05:14] the new developments that have come in over there you look

[1:05:17] at Toms River ranch the Outlook apartments

[1:05:21] the new commercial buildings that are getting ready to be

[1:05:26] constructed over there.

[1:05:27] We're seeing some we benefit as a result

[1:05:32] of our our decision from a from a land development standpoint.

[1:05:41] You know, we wouldn't have been able to put

[1:05:45] the artwork at 402 at all.

[1:05:51] That would have been denied by c dot.

[1:05:55] They did not want to support that We have leveraged that

[1:06:01] relationship with c dot to put in the type of community that we

[1:06:07] want there by putting artwork in there by allowing subdivisions

[1:06:11] and commercial development to occur and they have trusted that

[1:06:16] we are going to reciprocate by taking this this roadway which

[1:06:21] has been part of a a commitment by the town over Eight years

[1:06:28] ago, had we not done this and made that commitment,

[1:06:33] then they probably wouldn't have done all the improvements on 4O2

[1:06:38] either that they did So the thing that we don't receive

[1:06:42] economic development and financial benefit

[1:06:46] that comes from that partnership is

[1:06:52] is probably not fully accurate.

[1:06:54] So speaking of that, so the if we were

[1:06:57] to take over that frontage road those businesses that you just

[1:07:01] talked about that are opening, is that something

[1:07:03] that they paid towards the town Because that what that's opening

[1:07:06] the businesses, the commercial buildings that you talked about

[1:07:08] in all the different things is that something that they're

[1:07:12] taxed on a little bit to where they

[1:07:14] actually help and contribute to the town for that access?

[1:07:19] Just like road maintenance type of fees.

[1:07:22] They certainly pay transportation impact fees.

[1:07:26] Absolutely.

[1:07:27] Residential development does commercial development

[1:07:30] does based on commercial does based on the square footage.

[1:07:36] So us owning it for a benefit in that way

[1:07:38] versus not owning it because then they don't that feet

[1:07:42] is a problem They be less access and less interested

[1:07:47] businesses that would come out as a result.

[1:07:50] I think that we probably have to take down the well.

[1:07:52] Yeah, I think the way I look at this is I can understand

[1:07:56] both sides, but this has been I do eight year relationship

[1:07:59] building that's allowed us John's town to progress further

[1:08:02] to build and, you know, take out some

[1:08:05] of those easements and roads.

[1:08:06] And when you're looking at business,

[1:08:08] relationships are important.

[1:08:09] And if you don't develop, and establish those relationships

[1:08:11] over a eight year time span, you wouldn't be afforded

[1:08:14] this opportunity for a project.

[1:08:16] And who's to say that we don't annex land further along a 25

[1:08:20] or an 925 You know, these relationships

[1:08:24] are going to be important by taking on 3.9 miles.

[1:08:27] It could make us 40 $50 million later down the road is

[1:08:31] kind of the way I look at it.

[1:08:32] I'm one for annexation.

[1:08:34] If we have a opportunity in front of us

[1:08:36] to expand John's town and we do it, I look at back in 1999,

[1:08:41] there was a former Mayor Martinez,

[1:08:43] who proposed the 2534 annexation in to buy it People

[1:08:47] looked at him like he was crazy.

[1:08:49] And they recalled him.

[1:08:50] And you know, he was voted out of office.

[1:08:52] But those folks today now enjoy 25, 34 and all the amenities

[1:08:57] and establishments in the tax dollars that

[1:08:59] come into this community So sometimes I

[1:09:01] think we got to look at the future versus the right now.

[1:09:05] And I think this is a future opportunity

[1:09:08] and I'm going to push forward on this one.

[1:09:11] I'm with the staff approval on this.

[1:09:14] Well in part of that agreement to

[1:09:16] was when we looked at the realignment of the frontage road

[1:09:20] that they took away the existing front of Frontage

[1:09:23] Road up Highway 60, exit and moved

[1:09:27] that back to the to that major intersection to the east.

[1:09:32] So that that whole area would see that realignment Then

[1:09:37] as part of that conceptual plan any further deliberation

[1:09:44] from counsel before I open it up to public comment

[1:09:49] if I could add just one point.

[1:09:50] Sure.

[1:09:51] The 90 days also is pursuant to state statute, which requires

[1:09:55] that within 90 days of their approval of the relinquishment

[1:09:59] that we actually accept the roadway.

[1:10:01] So if you were to continue this for additional studies,

[1:10:05] we would be well past the 90 days

[1:10:07] from when they actually approved the relinquishment.

[1:10:10] So it's not a simple extension it's not just 90 days

[1:10:14] for the IGA, the IGA, for some reason

[1:10:17] they want it approved by ordinance.

[1:10:18] But really the ordinance also applies to us accepting

[1:10:21] the roadway within 90 days.

[1:10:23] Thank you.

[1:10:24] You.

[1:10:25] With that, I'll go ahead and open up to public comment.

[1:10:28] I don't have any slips, but as anybody who like to speak

[1:10:31] or against the application nothing.

[1:10:34] Heard anything on line no more.

[1:10:36] All right.

[1:10:36] We'll close out the public comment with Council

[1:10:39] like to further deliberate on this

[1:10:40] before I close out the public hearing

[1:10:42] and put it to vote All right.

[1:10:45] Nothing heard We'll go ahead and close

[1:10:47] out the public hearing meeting.

[1:10:48] Can you please read the ordinance Total 2020 6-297

[1:11:58] by myself Let's go and put it to voice vote All in favor, please

[1:12:02] say i.

[1:12:02] I all oppose I. I serve it.

[1:12:07] Motion carries with that will go ahead and open

[1:12:09] the public hearing for the Johnstown downtown development

[1:12:13] Authority Plan of Development Go and get staff report,

[1:12:15] please Agree to Good evening, Mayor and council.

[1:12:35] I'm here to present the plan of development

[1:12:38] on behalf of the Downtown Development authority.

[1:12:40] I think it's always helpful to provide some timeline

[1:12:43] on how we got here.

[1:12:44] And what we've been working on over the last couple of years

[1:12:46] when it comes to our downtown area So about a year ago,

[1:12:49] actually in August, Town Council,

[1:12:51] you all approved the downtown master Plan project, which

[1:12:54] really outlined how we went downtown to continue

[1:12:57] to be an economically healthy area

[1:12:59] and corridor in our community, but also expand thoughtfully

[1:13:03] We quickly moved in to what we called a downtown feasibility

[1:13:07] study after the adoption of that downtown master plan

[1:13:10] And what that project did was explore the different types

[1:13:13] of special districts that exist in Colorado in which One

[1:13:16] of these districts would be most beneficial

[1:13:18] and actually making that downtown master plan reality.

[1:13:21] We launched that project in August

[1:13:23] and went through several phases.

[1:13:24] The last phase was an election in April

[1:13:27] which saw the approval and creation of the Downtown

[1:13:30] Development authority, as well as access to tax increment

[1:13:33] financing This slide here shows you

[1:13:37] an exhibit of that downtown Development Authority

[1:13:41] and their district boundaries It also had qualifies the Downtown

[1:13:46] Development authority as like as a quasi governmental entity,

[1:13:49] which means they are governed by several state statutes

[1:13:52] and they have yearly budgets that

[1:13:54] also need to come in front of council for approval as well.

[1:13:58] Since the April election, the town

[1:14:00] council appointed a DDA board.

[1:14:02] We've had several board meetings with them.

[1:14:04] And we are happy to announce that this week, we're reviewing

[1:14:07] executive directors for the DDA And so they're making progress

[1:14:11] and moving things along.

[1:14:12] But one of the items that they need to also ensure that they

[1:14:15] adopt or that gets adopted this year is the plan of development.

[1:14:19] We brought forward the plan of development

[1:14:21] to the planning and Zoning Commission last week

[1:14:23] and they did recommend approval to the town council.

[1:14:28] This here just provides that state statue on how that plan

[1:14:31] of development gets approved.

[1:14:33] So I mentioned that there is a process to it.

[1:14:35] The first of it being going over it going in front

[1:14:38] of the planning and Zoning commission then ultimately

[1:14:40] in front of town council for consideration

[1:14:43] So what is a plan of development Well,

[1:14:45] what is required by state statute

[1:14:47] for a downtown Development Authority to have one,

[1:14:49] It essentially governs and guides

[1:14:51] how a Downtown Development authority acts

[1:14:53] and the different focuses and priorities that they have.

[1:14:57] If the downtown development Authority Board at some point

[1:14:59] decided to make substantial changes to this document

[1:15:03] before you all for approval So the John Sounds DDA planted

[1:15:10] development is really guided and informed

[1:15:12] by the downtown master plan.

[1:15:13] And what it does is it takes a visionary document

[1:15:17] like the Master plan and actually provides actions

[1:15:19] steps and goals of how to realize that vision And so what

[1:15:22] you see in the plan to develop and for John Sound is really

[1:15:25] providing steps behind how to make that master plan a reality

[1:15:31] for some historical context.

[1:15:32] We spent about a year getting community input for the Downtown

[1:15:36] Master plan to really help inform us

[1:15:39] what are the prior things that stakeholders want to see

[1:15:41] in our downtown And so this gives you here an idea of some

[1:15:44] of the improvements and priorities

[1:15:46] that we have for historical downtown core, but also areas

[1:15:50] for potential expansion of our downtown

[1:15:54] So when we look at the plan of development

[1:15:56] it really takes those priorities again

[1:15:58] and rings them into actionable steps The plan of development

[1:16:01] itself is divided into four chapters,

[1:16:04] the first being just background on the project

[1:16:06] and how we got here.

[1:16:08] The second really outlining the DDA, its areas, sub areas and

[1:16:12] potential areas for expansion.

[1:16:15] Chapter three and Chapter 4 really

[1:16:16] are the meat of the docket meant where you see the work

[1:16:19] plan in actual implementation behind these goals There was

[1:16:24] also a mission that was created for the plan

[1:16:26] of development This mission was created

[1:16:28] by the DDA working group.

[1:16:30] And this DDA working group was really the folks boots

[1:16:33] on the ground when we were working

[1:16:34] on the election for this project and then talking to stakeholders

[1:16:39] and electors within the downtown boundary They worked together

[1:16:44] with our consultants Puma, to develop this mission and really

[1:16:47] and set really set some guiding principles for how we want

[1:16:50] the DDA to operate the plan of development

[1:16:55] also focuses a lot on dDA structure.

[1:16:58] What the board makeup looks like,

[1:17:00] how we want to ensure that we're involving the stakeholders

[1:17:02] and community when it comes to the downtown area

[1:17:06] and then as well, it also has priorities, which are informed

[1:17:10] by the priorities that we see in the downtown master plan Lastly,

[1:17:15] the plan of Development also has a two year action plan

[1:17:18] And so this really outlines some quick wins for the DDA board.

[1:17:21] And most of these we're working on as we speak

[1:17:24] and really setting priorities from a budget standpoint.

[1:17:27] So that we can start making some of these action items a reality

[1:17:33] That was a really quick presentation.

[1:17:34] I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

[1:17:37] That's perfect I don't have any questions I'll defer to council.

[1:17:43] No, nothing heard.

[1:17:44] Thank you, sir.

[1:17:46] Is there anybody or an open up public hearing?

[1:17:48] Is anybody for or against this application All right.

[1:17:52] Nothing.

[1:17:53] Heard anything on line No online comments All right.

[1:17:56] We'll go and close out public comment

[1:17:58] before I close the public hearing

[1:17:59] I would counsel like to deliberate further All right.

[1:18:02] Nothing heard.

[1:18:03] We'll go and close out the public hearing.

[1:18:05] And with that, I'll go and ask the pleasure

[1:18:07] of the council I move to approve resolution 2026.

[1:18:11] DoorDash three nine is presented I'll

[1:18:14] second that motion by Council member Molnar,

[1:18:17] seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Young.

[1:18:19] Let's go and put it to voice vote in favor.

[1:18:21] Say i i.

[1:18:22] I'll oppose I have a motion carries with that, we're going

[1:18:26] to move into council reports and comments will start off down

[1:18:29] there with council member in a couple items

[1:18:33] that we had a quarterly housing authority meeting

[1:18:37] and we made housing laws because of the problems with the doorway

[1:18:40] Is access, make it easier for residents going in in at night

[1:18:44] and stuff, which is good.

[1:18:47] The meeting room.

[1:18:48] I think will have member is reason the center building is

[1:18:50] the meeting room has been all remodeled that's pretty basic

[1:18:52] improvements to do some things.

[1:18:54] And in some ways Cody room looks really good.

[1:18:56] It's nice rooms of new furniture and all the residents

[1:18:59] like something that came up, things

[1:19:02] that have been in the past.

[1:19:03] But I'll come up again Private activity bonds.

[1:19:07] I think that was One funding source that we talked about

[1:19:10] and there was no deadline But like

[1:19:12] a sunsetting on that because am I talking

[1:19:14] about the correct thing?

[1:19:16] Yeah I think the oldest year of payables

[1:19:22] that we have or are coming up and do.

[1:19:26] There's there's a high probability that we'll probably

[1:19:28] just turn them over to chapel since we

[1:19:30] don't have the potential for issuance

[1:19:33] here before we turn them over.

[1:19:35] Is there a possibility it can only

[1:19:38] be used for new projects or new building,

[1:19:40] or can it be used for improvements of the current

[1:19:43] Because we have there are some projects coming up that have

[1:19:46] been and need to be done.

[1:19:47] So I'm going to ask Sara to come up and speak about this.

[1:19:51] Yes, sir So private activity bonds

[1:19:53] can be utilized for new or existing project

[1:19:56] but they have to be an affordable housing project.

[1:19:58] So deed restricted So it is an affordable housing project.

[1:20:02] So it can be used Yes.

[1:20:04] Go to Matt's point are 2023 private activity bonds

[1:20:08] If we were to utilize them this year,

[1:20:09] we would have to issue them by September OK.

[1:20:12] We don't have a viable project at this time Okay next year?

[1:20:18] Yeah.

[1:20:18] I mean Right.

[1:20:20] So.

[1:20:21] So you can have up to a running for Four years

[1:20:24] where the is on the books.

[1:20:27] So this 2023 would go off if we have a project that

[1:20:32] is meaningful and makes good sense,

[1:20:34] then those would be available 24, 25 26 and 27.

[1:20:39] Good So, so big projects.

[1:20:41] I mean, that's good.

[1:20:42] It's when you're ready and the projects

[1:20:45] ripe right kind of thing.

[1:20:47] So there's a lot of footwork ahead of time.

[1:20:49] But Tumores moving that trash in closer with the dumpster

[1:20:51] is that's right next to a building

[1:20:53] needs to be moved away because the fire hazard

[1:20:56] and then it has an upgraded fire alarm system.

[1:20:58] But there is no fire sprinkler system in the two buildings.

[1:21:01] So it's something it's a retrofit.

[1:21:03] It's costly but something looking at possibly

[1:21:06] doing before the new buildings built.

[1:21:08] So that's all plan c Thank you.

[1:21:14] Thank you, Councilmember Molnar Council

[1:21:16] member and Happy birthday.

[1:21:18] Yeah, Happy birthday.

[1:21:19] 21st birthday.

[1:21:20] Yeah Like I said, the 50th anniversary of my 21st birthday,

[1:21:26] we had the behavioral health quarterly meeting last Monday,

[1:21:30] and we have kind of a little snafu because Fort Collins

[1:21:35] doesn't have anyone who can attend the meetings because when

[1:21:39] they are held they're held at 8:00 in the morning on a Monday

[1:21:43] And so they have made a request with the board of county

[1:21:46] commissioners, the Larimer County Board of County

[1:21:49] Commissioners to have the deputy town

[1:21:53] manager sit on the board in stead of Fort

[1:21:59] Collins elected official.

[1:22:00] And I kind of had a problem with that

[1:22:02] because those seats are meant for elected officials only.

[1:22:06] And I went back and forth with the director of the Behavioral

[1:22:10] Health Center and basically it's,

[1:22:12] you know a short term solution And but I just i don't want it

[1:22:18] to become, well, if somebody can't come then

[1:22:21] we just send a staff member and that's good enough

[1:22:24] because, I mean, Gary Hall drives down

[1:22:26] from Estes for these meetings.

[1:22:28] I mean, it seems like Fort Collins could come to Fort

[1:22:31] Collins but that's neither here nor there They

[1:22:36] are getting ready to award their grants that they

[1:22:40] have accepted applications for.

[1:22:43] They have $3 million this year to award in grants.

[1:22:47] And this is a tax of a tax.

[1:22:50] And Larimer County tax And it's going

[1:22:53] to be sunsetting fairly soon.

[1:22:55] So they're going to be putting it back

[1:22:57] on the ballot in Larimer County for to pay

[1:23:01] for this gorgeous facility.

[1:23:03] They have for mental health and they've just opened the youth

[1:23:06] facility They opened that in December

[1:23:08] and it's a beautiful building.

[1:23:11] And they have excellent care for people

[1:23:13] who are in crisis mental health crisis

[1:23:16] and a very necessary part of the Larimer County community

[1:23:21] So that's all I have Thank you.

[1:23:25] Council member , Council member so nothing at this time.

[1:23:30] Thank you.

[1:23:31] Council Member Berg Council Member

[1:23:34] Morris I'm going to do that.

[1:23:39] Congresswoman.

[1:23:40] I'm sorry, I was confused.

[1:23:43] So first of all, I've got a couple

[1:23:45] of things I'd like to address.

[1:23:46] The comments read by Toni Anderson tonight First,

[1:23:49] I asked Pat Marie for the updates.

[1:23:52] So that we could keep the lines of communication open

[1:23:54] This is exactly what the Why Council liaison seat

[1:23:57] is intended to do maintain communication

[1:24:00] between the Y and the town.

[1:24:01] It is not intended to tell me what to think

[1:24:04] or how to vote as requested I do have an update for tonight,

[1:24:08] which was sent to me by Britney a while executive at my request

[1:24:12] and I do have to ask when will this

[1:24:14] constant accusation and misleading

[1:24:16] information in in school?

[1:24:18] I can even speak it insinuations of wrongdoing stop

[1:24:22] simply because I or other council members

[1:24:24] do not vote the same way as Miss Anderson would like us to vote.

[1:24:28] Disagreement with a council member

[1:24:29] does not mean that there was wrongdoing.

[1:24:31] Suggesting otherwise without the facts

[1:24:33] to support those insinuations is neither fair nor productive.

[1:24:38] So with that, for full transparency,

[1:24:41] this report, which I was requested to do.

[1:24:44] And I've been trying to get a regular date.

[1:24:49] So it will always be the second meeting.

[1:24:51] And just for full transparency, I

[1:24:53] asked the why, what this information

[1:24:55] is because they're the ones that have the information.

[1:24:58] So I'm just here to report it So I'll

[1:25:02] go ahead and do that report.

[1:25:04] If you guys are all okay with it.

[1:25:06] So membership just these are some highlights

[1:25:09] and any other questions you guys have, We can go into deeper.

[1:25:12] I just kind of highlighted some staff membership units is 2904.

[1:25:18] I thought it was interesting because it was there were 138

[1:25:23] individuals that were 55 and older,

[1:25:25] 65 and older with insurance was 1065 members

[1:25:30] in July they had 13,167 visits.

[1:25:36] In July, their swim lesson enrollment was 154.

[1:25:40] August was 137.

[1:25:42] It could have had a little delay or a little lag

[1:25:44] there because of the repair on the slide.

[1:25:47] And such just in child care, summer camp,

[1:25:51] school age kids that attended were 822 preschool pool

[1:25:57] and things like that.

[1:26:00] summer youth sports enrollment was 93.

[1:29:21] Councilmember Morris.

[1:29:22] Councilmember Bass About a week and a half ago,

[1:29:27] I attended the in our f MPO meeting.

[1:29:30] The North Front Range, Metropolitan Planning

[1:29:32] organization meeting up in eaton and on the agenda

[1:29:37] at this meeting was a lot about how the wildfire smoke

[1:29:41] this year has really had a bad impact for our ozone levels

[1:29:46] and we have not met attainment pretty

[1:29:48] much at all So could be some additional regulations

[1:29:53] and things coming down from the government based on that.

[1:29:56] So we'll see what comes from there.

[1:29:58] Also, Heather, from c Dot came and gave a presentation, talked

[1:30:02] about the highway 34 corridor and how important that corridor

[1:30:07] is but also how see that will not

[1:30:10] have enough money to do all of the stuff they

[1:30:12] want to do to that road.

[1:30:14] So the tempo and of course all of the surrounding communities

[1:30:18] will have to band together to help that road in the future,

[1:30:24] at least in the 2055 plan.

[1:30:26] The goal is Six lanes pretty much all the way to Greeley

[1:30:31] We are in an idea with cDot based on that

[1:30:36] to help keep the ride away.

[1:30:39] So helping to make sure that as that road gets developed

[1:30:43] and part of the plans that they showed is pretty much all of 34

[1:30:47] gets developed in the future to make sure that we don't build

[1:30:51] too close to the road, leaving enough room

[1:30:53] so that that expansion to six lanes

[1:30:55] can happen without having to take things down.

[1:31:00] So all in all, good meeting and Yeah,

[1:31:03] look forward to the next one.

[1:31:05] Thank you.
