PREFATORY SYNOPSIS
The Charter Convention of the City of Aspen, Colorado, herewith submit[s] to the voters of the City
the Home Rule Charter which we have framed in conformity with Article XX of the Colorado Constitution.
Since its organizational meeting of March 26, 1970, the Convention has worked long and hard to
achieve a simple and direct form of local government based on sound principles of public administration and
tailored to the political needs of the electorate of the City of Aspen.
Under provisions of this Charter, a basic council-manager form of government is established. The
council is composed of seven (7) members which include the mayor who is elected at large for a two-year
term. The mayor also presides at council meetings and possess[es] full voting powers of a councilman. The
other six (6) councilmen are elected at large for four-year over-lapping terms. A majority of the council
(three (3) councilmen and the mayor) are elected every two (2) years, thereby ensuring continuity of govern-
ment with maximum political responsiveness to the voters.
The council is the policy-determining body of the municipal government and vested with full legisl a-
tive powers. The executive power is vested in the city manager who is appointed by and serves at the pleas-
ure of the council.
The biennial municipal election is set on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May with the first
election under this Charter to be held on May 4, 1971. The Charter provides that all elections are to be non-
partisan. An Election Commission is established to insure that fair elections are conducted in accordance with
the Colorado Municipal Election Law.
Additional matters covered in this Charter for the future framework of Aspen municipal government re-
late to general council procedures, initiative and referendum powers of the people, city administration
guidelines, legal and judiciary appointments, municipal boards and commissions, city finances, municipal
borrowing procedures, public utilities, taxation powers, miscellaneous legal provisions and transition proce-
dures.
The Charter vests the people of Aspen with every political power permitted to any home rule communi-
ty under the Constitution of the State of Colorado. We believe this Charter provides a structure for quality
government in Aspen which will endure for many years to come.
PREAMBLE
We, the people of the City of Aspen, Colorado, under the authority of the Constitution of the State of
Colorado and in order to exercise the rights, privileges and responsibilities of self-government granted to us
by the said constitution, do ordain and establish this Home Rule Charter for the City of Aspen, Colorado.

A public hearing on the proposed budget and proposed capital program shall be held by the council on
any date at least fif teen (15) days prior to the final day established by law for the certification of the ensuing
36
year's tax levy to the county. Notice of the time and place of such hearing shall be published one time at least
seven (7) days prior to the hearing.
Section 9.7. Council amendments.
After the public hearing, the council may adopt the budget with or without amendment. In amending

except expenditures required by law or for debt service or for estimated cash deficit.
Section 9.8. Council adoption.
The council shall adopt the budget by resolution on or before the final day established by law for the
certification of the ensuing year's tax levy to the county. If it fails to adopt the budget by this date, the
amounts appropriated for the current operation for the current fiscal year shall be deemed adopted for the
ensuing fiscal year on a month-to-month basis, with all items in it pro-rated accordingly, until such time as the
council adopts the budget for the ensuing fiscal year.
Section 9.9. Property tax levy.
Adoption of the budget by council shall constitute appropriations of the amoun ts specified therein as
expenditures from the funds indicated and shall constitute a levy of the property tax therein proposed.
Council shall cause the same to be certified to the county as required by law.
Section 9.10. Contingencies.
The budget may include an item for contingencies. Except in those cases where there is no logical ac-
count to which an expenditure can be charged, expenditures shall not be charged directly to contingencies; but
instead, the necessary part of the appropriation for contingencies shall be transferred to the logical account,
and the expenditure charged to such account. No such transfer shall be made without the express approval of
the council, and then only for expenditures which could not readily be foreseen at the time the budget was
adopted.
Section 9.11. Public records.
Copies of the budget and the capital program as adopted shall be public records and shall be made
available to the public in the municipal building.
Section 9.12. Amendments after adoption.
(a) Supplemental appropriations. If during the fiscal year the manager certifies that there are avail a-
ble for appropriation revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget, the council by ord inance may make
supplemental appropriations for the year up to the amount of such excess.
(b) Emergency appropriations. To meet a public emergency affecting life, health, property or the pub-
lic peace, the council may make emergency appropriations. Such appropriations may be made by emergency
ordinance in accordance with provisions of Section 4.11. To the extent that there are no available unappropri-
ated revenues to meet such appropriations, the council may by emergency ordinance authorize the issuance of
emergency notes, which may be renewed from time to time, but the emergency notes and renewals of any
fiscal year shall be paid not later than the last day of the fiscal year next succeeding that in which the emer-
gency appropriation was made.
37
(c) Reduction of appropriations. If at any time during the fiscal year it appears probable to the man-
ager that the revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount appropriated, he shall report to the
council without delay, indicating the estimated amount of the deficit, any remedial action taken by him and
his recommendation as to any other steps to be taken. The council shall then take such further action as it
deems necessary to prevent or minimize any deficit and for that purpose it may by ordinance reduce one or
more appropriations.
(d) Transfer of appropriations. Any time during the fiscal year the manager may transfer part or all of
any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department, office or agency and, upon
written request by the manager, the council may by resolution transfer part or all of any unencumbered
appropriation balance from one department, office, agency, or object to another.
(e) Limitation. Effective date. No appropriation for debt service may be reduced or tran sferred, and
no appropriation may be reduced below any amount required by law to be appropriated or by more than the
amount of the unencumbered balance thereof. The supplemental and emergency appropriation and reduction
or transfer of appropriations authorized by this section may be made effective immediately upon adoption.
Section 9.13. Administration of budget.
(a) Work programs and allotments. The manager may require each department, office or agency to
submit work programs for the ensuing fiscal year showing the requested allotment of its appropriation by
periods within the year. The manager shall review and authorize such allotments with or without revision as
early as possible in the fiscal year. He may revise such allotments during the year if he deems it desirable and
shall revise them to accord with any supplemental, emergency, reduced or transferred appropriation made
pursuant to Section 9.12.
(b) Payments and obligations prohibited. No payments shall be made or obligation incurred against any
allotment or appropriation except in accordance with appropriations duly made and unless the manager first
certifies that there is a sufficient unencumbered balance in such allotment or appropriation and that sufficient
funds therefrom are or will be available to cover the claim or meet the obligation when it becomes due and
payable. Any authorization of payment or incurring of obligation in violation of the provisions of this Charter
shall be void and any payment so made illegal; such action shall be cause for removal of any officer who
knowingly authorized or made such payment or incurred such obligation, and he shall also be liable to the city
for any amount so paid. However, except where prohibited by law, nothing in this Charter shall be construed
to prevent the making or authorizing of payments or making of contracts for capital improvements to be
financed wholly or partly by the issuance of bonds, or to prevent the making of any contract or lease provi d-
ing for payments beyond the end of the fiscal year, provided that such act was made or approved by ordi-
nance.
(c) Monthly budget report. The city manager shall submit to the council a list of budget accounts,
bank reconciliations, the status of each budget account, and such other budgetary information as may be
required by council in the form of a monthly budget report.
Section 9.14. Independent audit.
An independent audit shall be made of all city accounts at least annually, and more frequently if
deemed necessary by the council. Such audit shall be made by certified or registered public accountants,
experienced in municipal accounting, selected by the council. Copies of such audit shall be made availabl e
for public inspection at the municipal building.

money without an election in anticipation of the collection of taxes or other revenues and to issue short -term
notes to evidence the amount so borrowed. Any such short-term notes shall mature before the close of the
fiscal year in which the money is borrowed.
Section 10.3. General obligation bonds.
No bonds or other evidence of indebtedness payable in whole or in part from t he proceeds of general
property taxes or to which the full faith and credit of the City are pledged, shall be issued, except in pursuance
of an ordinance, nor until the question of their issuance shall, at a special or general election, be submitted to a
vote of the electors and approved by a majority of those voting on the question; qualified electors of the City
shall mean those duly qualified to vote at a general or special election in the City of Aspen unless the city
council for sufficient reason shall by ordinance calling the election, restrict or limit such classification of
electors to taxpaying electors as may be defined by ordinance adopted by the city council, provided, however,
that such securities issued for acquiring utilities and rights thereto, or acquiring improving or extending any
municipal utility system, or any combination of such purposes, may be so issued without an election.
Section 10.4. Limitation of indebtedness.
The City shall not become indebted for any purpose or in any manner in an amount which, including
existing indebtedness, shall exceed twenty (20) percent of the assessed valuation of the taxable property
within the City, as shown by the last preceding assessment for City purposes; provided, however, that in
determining the limitation of the City's power to incur indebtedness there shall not be included bonds issued
for the acquisition or extension of a water system or public utilities; or bonds or other obligations issued for
the acquisition or extension of enterprises, works or ways from which the City will derive a revenue in
accordance with Section 10.5 of this article.
Section 10.5. Revenue bonds.
The City may borrow money, issue bonds, or otherwise extend its credit for purchasing, constructing,
condemning, otherwise acquiring, extending, or improving a water, electric, gas or sewer system, or other
public utility or income-producing project provided that the bonds or other obligations shall be made payable
from the net revenues derived from the operation of such system, utility or project, and providing further that
any two (2) or more of such systems, utilities, and projects may be combined, operated, and maintained as
39
joint municipal systems, utilities, or projects in which case such bonds or other obligations shall be made
payable out of the net revenue derived from the operation of such joint systems, utilities or projects. Such
bonds shall not be considered a debt or general obligation of the City for the purposes of determining any debt
limitation thereof.
The City shall, in addition, have the authority to issue revenue bonds payable from the revenue or i n-
come of the system, utility or project to be constructed or installed with the proceeds of the bond issue, or
payable in whole or in part from the proceeds received by the City from the imposition of a sales or use tax by
the State of Colorado, or any agency thereof.
Such bonds shall not be considered a debt or general obligation of the City, and shall not be included as
part of the indebtedness of the City for the purposes of determining any debt limitation thereof. The City
shall further have the opportunity to issue revenue bonds for such purpose or purposes as may be more
particularly set forth by an ordinance or ordinances of the City, the bonds to be payable in whole or in part
from the proceeds of the Real Estate Transfer Tax imposed by the City. Such bonds shall not be considered a
debt or a general obligation of the City, and shall not be included as part of the indebtedness of the City for
purposes of determining any debt limitation thereof. Such Real Estate Transfer Tax shall not be considered a
sales or use tax within the meaning of any provisions of this Charter relating to sales and use tax revenue
bonds.
No revenue bonds shall be issued until the question of their issuance shall have been approved by a ma-
jority of the electors voting on the question at a regular or special election; provided, however, that revenue
bonds payable solely from the proceeds of the Real Estate Transfer Tax may be issued without an election;
and provided further, however, that industrial development revenue bonds may be issued pursuant to the
provisions of the County and Municipal Development Revenue Bond Act and without an el ection. (Referen-
dum of 4-6-71; Ord. No. 48-1980)
Section 10.6. Refunding bonds.
The council may authorize, by ordinance, without an election, issuance of refunding bonds or other like
securities for the purpose of refunding and providing for the payment of the outstanding bonds or other like
securities of the City of the same nature, or in advance of maturity by means of an escrow or otherwise.
Section 10.7. Special or local improvement district bonds.
The City shall have the power to create local improvement districts and to assess the cost of the con-
struction or installation of special or local improvements of every character against benefited property within
designated districts in the City by:
(a) Order of council, subject, however, to protest by the owners of a majority of all property ben-
efited and constituting the basis of assessment as the council may determine.
(b) On a petition by the owners of more than fifty (50) percent of the area of the proposed district,
provided that such majority shall include not less than fifty (50) percent of the landowners residing in
the territory.
In either event, a public hearing shall be held at which all interested parties may appear and be heard.
Right to protest and notice of public hearing shall be given as provided by council by ordinance. Such
improvements shall confer special benefits to the real property within said district and general benefits to the
City at large. The council shall have the power by ordinance without an election to prescribe the method of
making such improvements, of assessing the cost thereof, and of issuing bonds for cost of constructing or
installing such improvements including the costs incidental thereto.
40
Where all outstanding bonds of a special or local improvement district have been paid and any monies
remain to the credit of the district, they shall be transferred to a special surplus and deficiency fund and
whenever there is a deficiency in any special or local improvement district fund to meet the payments of
outstanding bonds and interest due thereon, the deficiency shall be paid out of said surplus and deficiency
fund. Whenever a special or local improvement district has paid and cancelled three-fourths of its bonds
issued, and for any reason the remaining assessments are not paid in time to take up the remaining bonds of
the district and the interest due thereon, and there is not sufficient monies in the special surplus and deficiency
fund, then the City shall pay said bonds when due and the interest due thereon, and reimburse itself by
collecting the unpaid assessments due said district.
In consideration of general benefits conferred on the City at large from the construction or installation
of improvements in improvement districts, the Council may levy annual taxes on all taxable property within
the City at a rate not exceeding four (4) mills in any one year, to be disbursed as determined by the Council
for the purpose of paying for such benefits, for the payment of any assessment levied against the City itself in
connection with bonds issued for improvement districts, or for the purpose of advancing monies to maintain
current payments of interest and equal annual payments of the principal amount of bonds issued for any
improvement district hereinafter created. The proceeds of such taxes shall be placed in a special fund and
shall be disbursed only for the purposes specified herein, provided that in lieu of such tax levies, the Council
may annually transfer to such special fund any available monies of the City, but in no event shall the amount
transferred in any one year exceed the amount which would result from a tax levied in such year as herein
limited.
Section 10.8. Long term installment contracts, rentals and leaseholds.
In order to provide necessary land, buildings, equipment and other property for governmental or proprietary
purposes, the City is hereby authorized to enter into long term installment purchase contracts and ren tal or
leasehold agreements. Such agreements may include an option or options to purchase and acquire title to
such property within a period not exceeding the useful life of such property, and in no case exceeding forty
(40) years. Each such agreement and the terms thereof shall be approved by an ordinance duly enacted by the
City. The city council is authorized and empowered to provide for the payment of said payments or rentals
from a general levy i mposed upon both personal and real property included within the boundaries of the City,
or by imposing rates, tolls and service charges for the use of such property or any part thereof by others, or
from any other available municipal income, or from any one or more of the above sources. Provided, that
nothing herein shall be construed to eliminate the necessity of voter approval of a tax or levy if otherwise
required by this Charter. The obligation to make any payments or pay any rentals shall constitute an indeb t-
edness of the City within the meaning of the Charter limitation on indebtedness. Property acquired or
occupied pursuant to this Charter shall be exempt from taxation so long as used for authorized governmental
or proprietary functions of the City. (Ord. No. 12-1975)

DISCUSSION:The matrix identifies five categories describing the work a municipal
government performs. These five categories are intended to be broad, yet descriptive, of
the strategic areas staff should be spending time and resources in implementing the
community and Council’s priorities. While these categories have not been through a
vetting process in Aspen, they are used in several municipalities and are consistent
among high performing local governments. The categories are:
Smart, Customer-Focused Government
Economic Vitality
49
Fiscal Health
Safe and Livable Community of Choice
Community Engagement
If a project does not fit one of these categories, then there should be a strong argument
about why the local government should be involved. In the case of this workplan, all
projects fit these five categories.
Secondly, the projects are prioritized into levels of importance using the common
language of:
Must Do – projects with high priority due to urgency, Council’s direction, regulatory
environment, or financial risk
Should Do – important work that has benefits from focused attention in 2019
Could Do – if there is capacity in specific departments, these projects can advance
Complete for 2019 as of Feb. 1, 2019 – staff views the projects or top 9 goal as
completed and are not intending to spend more time beyond what has rolled into
the day-to-day operations
Pause until 2020 - project that staff recognizes need completing, but are large
enough in scale to require additional resources and planning. These should come
forward in the 2020 budget development process for Council’s direction.
Lastly, all projects are color coded. Those projects in blue indicate a top nine goal. Those
projects in yellow indicate a matter that will require policy work by the City Council through
regular meetings and work sessions. The projects in white will advance within the
guidance provided previously by Council. Council may see these projects on future 2019
agendas only for approvals, if necessary.
In addition to these projects, staff will advance a few internal organizational development
activities that are already funded and as capacity allows.
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: Most of these projects are already funded through
the adopted 2019 Operating and Capital Budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Information only. The attached work plan represents
where staff’s time and City resources will be focused for the remainder of the year. If
Council members have any questions or wish for a work session to review the plan,
please don’t hesitate to contact me.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Shirley Ritter, Director Kids First
THROUGH Sara Ott, Assistant City Manager
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2019
RE: Kids First Advisory Board work session with City
Council
REQUEST OF COUNCIL: This memo is to provide information about Kids First
Advisory Board purpose and function; and seek direction from council for next steps in
addressing the community need for high quality childcare.
SUMMARY: Kids First Advisory Board (KFAB) will provide updates on the current state
of programming, funding, community needs, and future planning.
KFAB is appointed by Aspen City Council and may have no fewer than 3 and no more
than 12 members. Actions require a concurring vote of a simple majority of members
present. Members are recommended by the Kids First Advisory Board and submitted to
City Council for formal approval. Members serve a 3-year term, with the option to serve
additional terms or rotate off. Kids First Advisory Board members are:
Beth Cashdan, Linda Consuegra, Margaret Clement, Rebecca Paschal, Chad Schmit,
Kristin Tullar, Matt Zubrod; and Sue Way & Stefan Reveal are Co-Chairs.
Kids First Advisory Board has guidelines that define their role and responsibility:
· To be an advocate of Kids First and its’ programs.
· To develop annual and long-term goals which further the mission of Kids First.
· To develop and implement projects, programs, and funding to further the mission
of Kids First.
· To attend monthly scheduled meetings and assist in the collaborative efforts of
these meetings which promote the goals of Kids First.
· To assist in the process of obtaining new board members.
Kids First Mission: Promote the availability of quality, affordable early childhood care &
education; Provide access to early childhood information and resources.
Kids First Community Goals:
1. Increase the quality of early childhood education and care.
2. Maintain affordability of programs and provide information regarding the true
cost of childcare.
P2
I.
58
3. Increase and maintain the availability of childcare programs.
4. Increase public education and awareness about the importance of early
childhood education.
5. Increase knowledge of early childhood development and parenting for
families with young children.
BACKGROUND: Kids First was originally established in 1990 as a result of Ordinance
81 series of 1989, imposing a sales tax of .45% for affordable housing and childcare for
10 years. The sales tax was renewed in 1998 for 10 more years, and again in 2008 for
30 years. Aspen City Council, and voters understood the direct connection between the
need for workforce housing and the need for childcare in our community.
Early childhood concerns and intentional solutions tend to be grouped in 3 overall
buckets – Capacity, Quality, and Affordability. Kids First budget and programming
reflect this, with public awareness and parent education goals included to broaden our
ability to engage a broader base of the community in these 3 areas. Our community
continues to grow and change; we are fortunate to have dedicated funding that can be
used to address current issues and anticipate future needs.
Over 60% of the Kids First expenditures annually are direct contributions in the form of
grants and incentives; direct services - nurse consulting, resource teacher, quality
improvement coaching; and financial aid on behalf of qualifying families.
The Yellow Brick Building accounts for 9% of Revenue and about 11% of expenditures
for the Kids First fund.
Affordability is addressed primarily by our childcare financial aid program. The cost of
childcare for one child provided year-round averages about $68 a day or $17,000 a
year; many families have two children in care at one time, so that cost can be as high as
$34,000.
Kids First works closely with other funding sources like Colorado Childcare Assistance
Program (CCCAP) administered through Pitkin County, and Colorado Preschool
Program (CPP) administered through the Aspen School District. Kids First financial aid
bridges the gap between the maximum income for families to qualify for CCCAP and the
income that is self-sufficient. This is a standard set by the Colorado Center on law and
Policy, as well as the Economic Policy Institute. Kids First uses a calculator that
considers household income, number in the family, number of children in care, number
of days children are cared for, and the cost of that care. Much like the FAFSA form used
to determine need for college financial aid, we identify the amount a family can afford to
pay and the amount that is needed. This allows families to choose childcare based on
their needs and program quality, not only based on cost. This also supports childcare
programs by allowing them to charge tuition closer to the amount that allows them to
pay early childhood staff a livable wage. Kids First Advisory Board works with staff
annually to make any needed adjustments to guidelines and to stay within budget. We
typically serve 40 to 50 families, and 55 to 65 children, at any time.
P3
I.
59
Kids First financial aid is based on family need and paid to the childcare program, to be
used as a credit against their tuition cost. Awards are reviewed and paid quarterly; new
families may apply every quarter and all families must re-apply annually with new
financial and tax information. Applications are reviewed by a community based, Kids
First financial aid committee.
Financial aid for childcare is budgeted for $379,750 to be awarded in scholarships in
2019. This is one part of the budget that is considered direct contributions.
Outcomes: Kids First Financial aid for childcare serves an average of 50 families and
over 60 children, at any given time; and has since 2001. By working closely with CPP
and CCCAP, Kids First has ensured that working families can access high quality
childcare. This supports the current workforce as well as preparing nearly 100% of
children in our community for success in school.
Quality is a goal that we address in a variety of ways. There is a wealth of research,
most notably from the Heckman Equation, and other long-term studies, that shows high
quality childcare produces long-lasting social, economic, education and health
outcomes for children. Our approach has been to use funding to incentivize specific,
positive outcomes. All our quality improvement funding has eligibility requirements and
is voluntary.
⇒ Quality improvement grants to childcare programs that participate in Colorado
Shines, the state quality rating and improvement system (QRIS). Our funding
aligns with the areas linked to increased quality: the classroom environment,
staff-child interaction, staff qualifications, family engagement, management and
leadership, and child health for example.
⇒ Staff incentives for increasing their skills by taking on-going college level
education. We have aligned our individual incentives with the state’s professional
development and information system (PDIS). This provides a credential level and
shows a clear path to improve educational understanding of early childhood.
⇒ Kids First also offers an incentive to childcare staff for successfully completing
quality improvement goals in their classroom. They choose goals, receive
coaching and training, and annually can earn an individual incentive, much like
the city’s goals and outcomes, for improving quality in specific ways.
⇒ Assessment and coaching is provided to childcare programs using valid and
reliable assessment tools including Environmental Rating Scales, Program
Administration Scales, Pyramid Plus Model, the Classroom Assessment Scoring
System (CLASS), and the Devereaux Early Learning Assessment (DECA). Kids
First two quality improvement coaches are certified in these tools, so they can
provide continuous support for classrooms making improvements. Coaches
outline how they will work with each program and classroom by using an
agreement that meets the program’s needs and quantitatively improves quality.
⇒ Professional development funding is available through a grants process for
childcare staff to gain early childhood teacher and director qualifications, access
early childhood conferences, or work toward a college degree. Additionally, Kids
First provides an annual in-service training to all 100+ Pitkin County early
P4
I.
60
childhood staff and offers many early childhood trainings to increase knowledge
and skills for teachers, directors and board members.
⇒ The Kids First resource teacher is available as a highly qualified substitute
teacher for the childcare centers. This assures correct ratios are maintained and
offers an opportunity to model best practice in the classroom. Childcare
programs pay a subsidized rate for this person; and she is nearly always booked
well in advance.
⇒ Nurse Consulting is offered to childcare programs to help them meet the state
rules concerning child health. The Kids First nurse offers training in 1st Aid, CPR,
Standard Precautions, and Medication Administration. She also provides regular
consulting to meet state requirements for childcare centers, and delivers hearing,
vision, and dental screenings to all the children in the programs. This is a
community collaboration with the Lion’s Club, the Dental Alliance, and the Aspen
School District. Kids First nurse maintains records to track immunizations as
required by the state and offers trainings to staff and families on many health-
related topics. Engaging families and incorporating health in early childhood is
recognized as an important element that produces quality outcomes for children.
⇒ Kids First contracts with a licensed mental health counselor to provide consulting
and training to childcare staff and to families to support social and emotional
development in young children. Intervention by a mental health specialist
increases teacher’s skills and reduces the likelihood that inappropriate behavior
would result in a child being expelled from childcare. In the US, it’s 3 times more
likely that you will be expelled from school at age 4 than at any other age.
Outcomes: With Kids First support over 60% of childcare programs in Pitkin County
participate in Colorado Shines; the state’s voluntary quality improvement system.
Programs receive outside evaluation every 3 years and are rated in 5 areas: workforce
qualifications, family partnerships, leadership and administration, learning environment,
and child health. Programs receive Kids First coaching, training, and support in these
areas to reinforce the continuous quality improvement.
Kids First staff offers over 150 training opportunities each year for childcare staff; as
well as providing scholarships and incentives to over 40 early childhood educators.
Capacity and Availability is our third primary community goal. Availability of childcare for
our workforce has always played an important role. In recent years, with Kids First
support, we have seen programs add classrooms, move into new and bigger spaces,
and change their use of space to accommodate changing community needs. We are
however, still seeing more need than current programs can accommodate.
⇒ Kids First has provided funding to equip new classrooms; staff provides technical
assistance to programs and their governing boards to plan for expansion, as well
as planning for ensuring their current capacity is not reduced.
⇒ Infant toddler operational funding directly addresses the need for care of these
ages, in classrooms that are extremely costly to provide. Required ratios in these
rooms is about half of what is allowed in preschool rooms, for example 4 babies
for each teacher, compared to 8 4-year-olds for each teacher. This and the
increased qualifications required for infant/toddler rooms, makes it much costlier
P5
I.
61
to provide this much needed care. This is the second largest single cost in the
Kids First contribution budget.
⇒ Kids First convened a community group to begin to work on the solution to the
larger capacity need. As housing is developed and businesses grow, more
families need childcare to be a productive part of our community. This groups
includes representation from the City, County, AVH, ASC, ASD, ACRA, CMC and
the Kids First Advisory Board. We plan to find partnerships that benefit children,
families and the larger community.
Outcomes: In 2017 Kids First and others, supported 3 new classrooms (including 2
infant rooms) at Growing Years, the re-opening of Woody Creek Kids at the Community
School location, and a new classroom at the Aspen School District.
Kids First funding supports 3 programs that offer infant care and 7 programs that offer
toddler care. This helps provide care for over 110 babies every day!
Challenges to increasing capacity to meet the current and anticipated need include:
⇒ The financial limitations of the Kids First fund to provide operational support at
the current levels to an additional 8 or so classrooms. The Kids First Advisory
Board is developing a plan to accommodate these changes to avoid a structural
deficit in out years in the fund.
⇒ Limited available space or land to use for childcare. The Kids First Advisory
Board will return later in 2019 with a recommendation to city council about
possible use of city-owned land.
⇒ The need for partnerships and capital funding. The Kids First fund is not able to
provide capital funding and maintain operational supports to childcare programs
and to families, so additional funding would be required.
DISCUSSION:
Regionally, Kids First staff have played an active role in the Rocky Mountain Early
Childhood Council, attacking state and federal funding to support childcare quality
improvement efforts. This has also been an effective avenue to communicate with state
elected officials about the various needs in early childhood. Kids First staff also
participates in the Basalt Early Childhood Coalition. This group was awarded $90,000
from the Town of Basalt, and about $220,000 from Eagle County for early childhood
work in the mid-valley area. As part of this partnership, the Town of Basalt has
conceptual plans for additional childcare space in the Willets Town Center.
Development in this area, and data from childcare providers and businesses, show an
even greater need for childcare spaces in this area.
Snowmass Village and Little Red Schoolhouse also have conceptual plans to increase
capacity for childcare in Snowmass Village.
Kids First Advisory Board discussion points for City Council to consider:
⇒ Determining the correct level of capacity needed for the working families in
Aspen. We plan to get updated survey information from employees and
P6
I.
62
community members about the current and expected need for childcare; we also
plan to hold community meetings with stakeholders.
⇒ Kids First will continue to work with the finance department and the manager’s
office to plan for fiscal feasibility.
⇒ Kids First will continue to work with the asset department and the manager’s
office to begin to analyze building sites and costs.
⇒ Kids First will re-convene the business/employer capacity committee to explore
capital funding opportunities and public-private partnerships.
⇒ Kids First Advisory Board will return in 2019 with recommendations to Aspen City
Council to address childcare capacity.
FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: Any expansion of childcare capacity would impact the
Kids First fund. Kids First Advisory Board has begun to consider what changes could be
made in several areas, balancing funding that is effective at reaching our goals with
ways to include additional classrooms and families. The first programs to be looked at
are the financial aid and infant/toddler operational support expenditures, since they
account for the largest sums of funding. Kids First has reviewed data trends and will
hold stakeholder meetings to generate ways to use existing funding and still achieve
intended results. Kids First will also do a detailed analysis of the cost to run a quality
infant classroom to determine appropriate levels of funding, and to see if efficiencies
may exist in the current system.
This information will be included in our report back to council later in 2019.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: We recognize that any future increase in capacity
carries an impact, and this has been a part of the conversation with the larger
community group as they have considered locations that are in Aspen, or out of town
(but in the urban growth boundary); whether there is access to public transportation,
even conceptually about building planning to minimize environmental impacts. This will
continue to be an integral part of the discussion.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direction for the Kids First Advisory Board to use
existing data, gather additional data, and work collaboratively to plan for expansion of
childcare spaces, especially for infant care, to meet current and anticipated community
need.
ALTERNATIVES: Kids First staff is already working across the region because we
know it is a bigger issue and cannot be solved by City of Aspen alone. Kids First
Advisory Board could do nothing to expand capacity; this would have an enormous
negative impact on our community, employers, and families. Kids First Advisory Board
could consider other options for additional childcare space

90% to be filled. Spaces are often one-off days that cannot be booked, or the gap between when one child leaves
and another starts. Childcare programs are not really allowed to “overbook”.

What we know about the gap – These are births to people who live in Pitkin County.
2017 as an example, we know that 134 babies were born. Using state data, we can assume that at least
62% of those babies have all parents working, that would give us 83 babies needing care. We currently
have 30 licensed spaces per day for infants; that leaves 53 babies not in licensed care, every year. Parents
may work part-time, they may find friends or neighbors to use for childcare, or they may leave their jobs,
possibly even leaving the community. These figures lead us to believe that the need is for 7 to 8
additional classrooms.
*This does not account for families that work in Aspen and use childcare in Aspen, but the children are
not born to Pitkin residents. Currently, we estimate about 18-20% of children served are part of a family
that lives outside Pitkin County.
**There are external factors that could change this – new facilities could be built in neighboring
communities, existing programs could reduce spaces or change the use of their space, an economic
downturn could impact the need for workers and childcare.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Liz Chapman, Environmental Health and Sustainability
THRU: CJ Oliver, Environmental Health and Sustainability Director
DATE OF MEMO: January 12, 2018
MEETING DATE: January 16. 2018
RE: Phase 2 of the Solid Waste Assessment Report
REQUEST OF COUNCIL: Staff is requesting City Council direction to pursue certain
recommendations of the Waste Diversion Study - Phase 2. Specifically, staff requests direction
to move forward with amending the Solid Waste chapter of the Municipal Code and to propose
options for increasing the diversion of organic material at future Council meetings.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Aspen City Council approved partnering with Pitkin
County to conduct both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Waste Diversion Plan. The City of Aspen
contributed $44,500 as part of the 2015 fall supplemental budget and has committed to paying
half of the costs for the second phase (approximately $37,000). Waste reduction efforts were first
incorporated into the Solid Waste portion of the Municipal Code in 2005 which required haulers
to include recycling fees in the base rate for trash service. The 2015 Construction Mitigation
Plan approved by Council included reporting requirements for construction and demolition
waste, but required no specific actions to divert material. In 2008, Council evaluated and rejected
instituting a Solid Waste Fee to be collected with building permitting fees. Council amended the
code to include waste diversion through composting in 2011.
BACKGROUND: The Pitkin County Solid Waste Center (landfill) is intended to be the primary
location for disposing of waste from the City of Aspen. The landfill is estimated to have less than
8 years left at the current rate of deposition and diversion. The waste composition analysis done
as part of Phase 1 revealed that over 50% of the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) could be diverted
through recycling or composting. Although 80% of the material arriving at the Pitkin County Solid
Waste Center (landfill) is attributed to construction and demolition (C&D) activities, 47% of that
material was diverted from burial in 2015. This resulted in a ratio of 41% MSW and 59% C&D
material buried at the landfill in 2016. In 2016, the reported diversion rate for MSW hauled out of
Aspen was 16%, with 1% of that being compost diversion. This is a reduction from the highest
diversion rate of 30% in 2012.

DISCUSSION: Phase 2 of Waste Diversion Plan (Attachment A) examined the results of Phase
1, challenges and opportunities of our local waste infrastructure, and successful waste diversion
programs in other communities. The primary recommendations of the plan are to evaluate the
policies and infrastructure needed to divert more of the construction and demolition (C&D) waste
from being buried, to create programs and/or polices to increase food waste going to the landfill
compost operations, and to revise the waste ordinances in Aspen and Pitkin County to be in
alignment and encourage diversion activities. These recommendations also factored in feasibility,
costs, and greenhouse gas (ghg) savings. The Climate Action Plan (Attachment B) released by the
City of Aspen includes many of the same recommendations.
The current waste ordinances in Pitkin County and the City of Aspen differ in ways that creates
confusion for both waste haulers and their customers. The Aspen ordinance requires curbside trash
and recycling services to be bundled as a single price, bi-annual reporting from waste haulers of
waste quantities, and bans yard waste from disposal into the landfill, while the Pitkin County
ordinance does not contain these elements. In following the recommendations of Phase 2, not only
will the two ordinances be more closely aligned, but there is an opportunity to improve compliance,
diversion, and measuring progress in these areas. Aspen has seen the recycling diversion rate
decline in the past 5 years and changes to the Solid Waste chapter of the Municipal Code have the
potential to reverse that trend. Aligning waste ordinances and increasing compliance with
diversion goals are two of the actions listed in the Climate Action Plan to reduce ghg emissions
from waste disposal.
Although food and paper waste (organics) diversion has steadily increased over the past 5 years,
it remains far below the 36% potential diversion Phase 1 identified (less than 1% of organics were
diverted in 2012 to over 2% diverted in 2016). New residential and business customers are being
added each week, but these additions are not keeping pace with the organic material being buried
in the landfill. Creating a mandatory policy or providing incentives to capture the food waste being
discarded by the large generators in town would have a significant impact on the diversion rate
while also implementing one of the objectives of the Climate Action Plan.
The Climate Action Plan and the Waste Diversion Plan both emphasize the need to reduce the
amount of C&D waste. The Pitkin County landfill has established diversion programs for rock,
soil, concrete, metal, and asphalt, but almost half of the remaining C&D waste is buried. Visual
audits of these mixed waste loads were conducted in 2016 (during the building moratorium in
Aspen) and indicated a substantial amount of material could have been diverted with existing
programs. City and County staff, along with the consultants, solicited feedback from various
stakeholders in the development community to determine what the barriers were to increased
diversion. The responses pointed to limiting factors of time, space, and markets. The City of Aspen
has been encouraging diversion as part of the Construction Mitigation Plan, but this voluntary
program has not resulted in a notable increase in diversion during construction or demolition. The
County has increased the cost for disposing of trash and C&D loads by $20/ton in 2018 as part of
their effort to encourage diversion. Further audits of the composition of mixed C&D loads, reaction
to increased fees, and more work with the development community in Aspen are needed to
determine the most effective and feasible process for the City of Aspen to stimulate more diversion
of C&D waste. Both the Waste Diversion Plan and the Climate Action Plan recommend moving
material to market, so it will take cooperation with the business community to realize these actions.

FINANCIAL/BUDGET IMPACTS: None at this time. Depending on the policies Council
chooses to implement, there may be financial costs associated with increased staff or facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
If Council pursues any of the recommendations of the Phase 2 report (and Climate Action Plan -
Waste section), there will be positive impacts on the environment.
Sustainability initiative Yes
Outcome area affected: Air, Waste
Key metric affected: Air- Levels of particulate matter; Waste – Waste diversion rate;
Amount of landfill space available; Number of miles waste travels
for processing
By reducing the amount of material sent to be buried in the landfill and finding ways to reuse,
resources are conserved. It also extends the life of the raw materials sources. Composting organic
materials is the most cost-effective method for reducing the material going into the landfill,
developing a saleable product produced in our area, and reducing the greenhouse gas emissions
associated with landfills. The embodied energy and carbon emissions of manufacturing
construction materials from virgin resources would be reduced if materials are reused and recycled.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Staff requests Council act on some of the recommendations of
the Waste Diversion Plan – Phase 2 by directing staff to return with revisions to the Solid Waste
chapter of the Municipal Code. Additionally, Council is asked to direct staff to develop programs
and policies to increase diverting organics to compost for Council consideration.
ALTERNATIVES: If Council does not approve pursuing some of these recommendations, then
it is expected that diversion will not increase and may possibly decrease from present levels.
Further, without these actions, significant components of the Climate Action Plan will not have
the support of the City of Aspen.

APPENDIX A
POTENTIAL HAULER POLICY MECHANSIMS – PROS & CONS
Component Pros Cons
Curbside Recycling Service
Mandate
(trash hauler required to provide
recycling service to all residential
& commercial customers)
x Increased convenience for &
diversion by generator
x Increased hauler efficiency (fees
will likely be less than
separately adding recycling to
trash service)
x Increased business for haulers
x Implemented as mandatory fee
program but no requirement
for actual recycling
x Increased container
requirements
x Increased fees for trash-only
customers
x Challenging in congested
commercial areas (there is
inadequate space for multiple
containers)
x Can be expensive in remote
areas
Single-Stream Recycling
(all haulers except one currently
provide to all customers)
x Minimized customer confusion
between dual-/single-stream
option (especially for visitors
used to single-stream programs)
x Increased convenience &
diversion
x New containers & messaging
for customers with dual-stream
x Policies in most communities
do not specify level of
commingling
Set Minimum Quantity for
Recyclables Collection
(to be provided for same fee/fee
portion regardless of quantity)
x Increased diversion by ensuring
minimum container sizing
x May need additional recyclable
containers
x Makes setting recycling portion
of total fee difficult if maximum
size is not set
Recyclables Collection on Same
Day/Frequency as Trash
(part of existing Aspen & Pitkin
County code)
x Increased convenience &
diversion
x Less confusion
x Discouragement of frequent
trash collections
x May require re-routing by
haulers
x Increased cost
Variable Trash Rates Based on
Equivalent 32-Gallon Unit
(may not initially require specific
containers or 32-gallon service)
x Proven incentive to increase
diversion
x No initial requirement for
haulers/ customers to change
containers
x Eventual need for new trash
container sizes & recycling
containers for some customers
x New pricing structure from
some haulers
x Initial confusion for customers
Bundled Trash & Recycling Fees
(dual service priced as one fee
based on trash quantity –
recycling service is mandatory)
x Some haulers already bundle
x Proven incentive for making
recycling more attractive to
generators
x Facilitates unlimited recycling
requirements
x New pricing & accounting
structure for some haulers
x Some customers don’t realize
they pay for recycling service
x Is not transparent & can create
inaccurate impression that
recycling is “free”
Limitation on Surcharges
(to increase billing consistency
throughout the valley)
x Increased billing consistency
x Itemizing on customer bills
provides transparency
x Some haulers feel their lack of
these charges differentiates
them

A-2
Maximum Allowable Recyclables
Contamination
(allows haulers to not collect
contaminated recyclables or to
manage as trash)
x Generator/haulers are used to a
contamination limit in Aspen
x Contamination levels measured
in 2015 were only <10% 1
x Increased recyclable quality
through generator separation
x Decreased rejection/fines for
recyclables delivered to Front
Range processors
x Consistent rate must be
established - Aspen (15%) &
county (25%) currently have
different rates
Customer Notification
(service options & diversion
guidelines)
x Reduced generator confusion &
increase awareness
x Encourages participation
x Additional hauler requirement
(but can be supported with
city/county outreach materials)
x When haulers fail to comply,
customer communications
suffer
No Trash Overflows
(needed to support variable trash
pricing)
x Increased diversion if
recyclables contamination limit
is enforced
x Common component in other
community policies
x Requires haulers to notify
customers & establish penalty
(skip collection, assess
additional fees, etc.)
Annual Business
License/Renewal
(fleet & insurance data, annual
reporting)
x Common approach throughout
Colorado
x Facilitates reporting as part of
license renewal process
x Increased reporting
requirements
x Renewal fee (expected to
remain nominal)
Reporting, Recordkeeping &
Auditing
(report material quantities,
services, routing & pricing)
x Submit as part of license
renewal
x User-friendly reporting form
x Audits verify acceptable self-
reporting procedures
x Provide data for measuring
diversion progress
x Annual can be adequate if data
collection is effective
x Haulers feel data is proprietary
& will be skeptical of
city/county’s ability to maintain
confidentiality
x Bi-annual creates more hauler
costs
1 This included measurements of Rio Grande drop-site and curbside recyclables delivered to the PCSWC.

APPENDIX B
OTHER HAULER POLICY CONSIDERATIONS

Weaver Consultants Group
F:\ADMIN\PITKIN LF\SOLID WASTE\WASTE DIVERSION\WD PLAN PH II\APPENDIX B.DOCX
B-1
APPENDIX B
OTHER HAULER POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
Implementation Flexibility
To facilitate effective policies that are fair to local haulers, the following exemptions,
delayed effective dates of other implementation options can be considered:
x Delay the effective date for moving all customers to single-stream for one year
for existing haulers.
x Allow the effective date for adding recycling to trash accounts in a formal service
contract (e.g., homeowner associations) to be delayed until the current term
expires (but no more than two years).
x Allow a recyclables curbside exemption in communities (especially those low-
densities areas located farther from Highway 82) where cost would be excessive;
consider replacing with drop site collection provided directly by haulers
providing trash service (or paid for by haulers and their customers if operated by
the local government).
x Allow haulers and customers to determine what type and size of containers to
meet equivalent requirements including pre-paid disposable trash bags, plastic
garbage cans, or automated carts.
x Allow haulers to collect recyclables every other week (regardless of trash
frequency) if a 96-gallon or larger service is provided (on same day as trash
collection).
x Allow haulers to reject or charge the equivalent trash fee for recyclables with
more than 15% contamination.
x Delay the effective date for requiring 32-gallon equivalent service for up to three
years but still require pricing based on 32-gallon base size.
x Allow fixed fees in addition to variable fees where disposable bags are used to
offset routing costs and where uncontrollable factors affect costs (e.g., fuel
costs, recyclables market pricing), but set fee limits.
Enforcement Considerations
It is expected that only part-time enforcement staff will be required to help enforce the
new hauler policy in both the city and county. This will represent new costs, however.
There are several opportunities for leveraging these enforcement resources:
x Enforcement staff could also conduct field investigations of residential and
commercial containers on collection day to assist the haulers by giving
customers “gentle reminders” about trash overflows and recyclables
contamination.
134
Weaver Consultants Group
F:\ADMIN\PITKIN LF\SOLID WASTE\WASTE DIVERSION\WD PLAN PH II\APPENDIX B.DOCX
B-2
x The city and county could potentially share code enforcement personnel to
reduce costs and encourage consistency.
x Aspen could expand hauler policy enforcement to include the city’s yard waste
disposal ban.
x There could be overlapping with enforcement of wildlife-resistant containers
and/or enclosures.
x Pitkin County may add new field inspection staff for its future C&D debris
diversion program, as discussed in Section 5 of the Phase II Plan, which could
also overlap with hauler policy enforcement.
Public Outreach Considerations
Providing clear messaging that the city and county could help haulers in developing that
will ease haulers’ customer communication efforts and increase consistency:
x Create a sample customer notification letter for new and ongoing services and
prices (for haulers’ ultimate distribution and ongoing communications) including
a description of services, recyclables, and trash containers options and pricing,
accepted recyclables, and education guidelines.
x Generate a sample bill statement reminder that recycling service is not optional
(even if this service is called out separately from trash).
x Provide graphics of acceptable recyclables and separation guidelines (suitable for
hauler use on websites, bills and containers).
x Design a customer violation notice (like Aspen’s audit card) that haulers can use
for trash overflows and contaminated recyclables.
Possible Actions for Second Half of Planning Period
The core policy components —if done with full enforcement and public outreach
support—represent significant changes for haulers, their customers, and the city and
county. As the planning period advances, there are several additional activities that
could and should be considered to further advance the hauler policy and regional waste
diversion goals:
x Re-evaluate resource allocation for local recycling drop sites, reallocating to
other services (such as enforcement and public outreach) where possible.
x Work with the towns of Snowmass Village, Basalt, and Carbondale to adopt
similar hauler policy such that there are universal collection practices, pricing,
messaging, and incentives throughout the Roaring Fork Valley.
x Conduct waste audits every 3 years to compare recyclable diversion levels to the
content of recyclables and organics still being disposed in landfill trash at PCSWC
and re-align public outreach messaging to address materials with lower recovery
levels.
135

x Based on waste composition results, consider a cardboard disposal ban or other
policy needed to create incentives around materials with lagging diversion
successes. For example, the top three recyclables measured in the 2015 waste
composition study trash were cardboard, glass and plastic film.
x Enforce the Aspen yard waste disposal ban and consider expanding throughout
the valley.
x Support beyond-the-valley regional efforts for a western slope single-stream
processing facility that would reduce transportation costs and improve the
economics of recycling for haulers and local governments.

December 12, 2017To the Aspen community and our visitors,It is our pleasure to introduce Aspen’s new Climate Action Plan (CAP), which sets the stage for continuing and growing Aspen’s legacy of climate that a stable climate is foundational to the Aspen that we know and love, Opportunities to reduce emissions are more practical, abundant and economical than they ever have been. To accelerate our movement in the right direction, the CAP maintains Aspen’s ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) community can rise to the challenge of meeting these goals, based on our past work and forward thinking, committed community, policy makers, and businesses.One of Aspen’s hopes in becoming an early leader was that other communities would take notice. Today, local governments acting on climate is a global phenomenon. In 2007, few cities had adopted formal commitments. Today, thousands of communities around the world, hundreds around the country and dozens in Colorado have committed to climate action. Collectively, these commitments embody the potential for reducing global GHG emissions at the volumes necessary to maintain a livable planet.There has never been a better time to turn commitment into action. As history has shown, Aspen has a civic responsibility to act on behalf of its constituents, a moral imperative to take the steps necessary to meet the challenge of climate change, and the potential to be a catalyst for meaningful and effective action around the state, country and world. Implementing this CAP refocuses Aspen’s commitment to its future and will usher in the next phase of local climate leadership.Aspen’s 2017 City Council is proud to continue and expand the community’s legacy of climate leadership.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Mayor and City Council
FROM:Sara Ott, Interim City Manager
DATE:June 28, 2019
RE:Affordable Housing Framework Recommendation
SUMMARY: This memorandum presents a possible framework for approaching several
matters of the City Council related to affordable housing.
BACKGROUND: On June 11, 2019 City Council took an in depth look at the currently
scheduled housing development projects and conducted a round table discussion
regarding affordable housing viewpoints. In that conversation a wide range of housing
policy, financing, and operating matters were raised, including, but not limited to:
1. Energy management mandates for new construction
2. Capital reserves
3. Home owner association relations
4. Expiration of deed restrictions
5. Cash funding v. borrowing
6. Future land use acquisition
7. Desired/demanded unit mix by category and bedroom count
8. Density
9. At-risk/special needs population housing
10.Downsizing incentives
11.Development mitigation rates
12.Development mitigation exemptions
13.Repair/replacement of aging or deteriorating city-owned and private deed
restricted rental units
14.Desire for senior care facilities
15.Exploration of new partnerships
16.Unit construction methods – modular/stick/new methods
17.Housing inventory system modernization and data
18.Fee in lieu rates
City staff committed to bringing to Council a possible framework for orchestrating and
prioritizing these policy matters for Council consideration.
152
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:At a high level, I recommend City Council consider
advancing housing with a three-pronged approach.
#1: Use the City’s Finance Advisory Board: The common element in each policy
direction is funding. Refer an in-depth review of housing revenues, debt considerations,
long range financial planning and coordination with the City’s financial advisors to the
City’s Finance Advisory Board (FAB).
The Board has been inactive for several years, however, its members are highly skilled
financial executives in our community. The FAB could be charged with working with staff
and reporting to City Council with an analysis on debt financing v. cash funding, advise
staff on assumptions related to revenue constraints and opportunities, and aid in
developing a robust financial plan for implementation of Council’s policy priorities.
#2: Continue Advancing Development of New Housing in the Pipeline: Utilize city
staff and consultant teams to advance community engagement, design and entitlement
processes, and construction for projects which have already begun. Also, seek site
evaluations for potential new projects, and evaluation of aging rental units. Focus should
continue on Truscott II, Burlingame III, Lumberyard, Water Place and the Aspen Housing
Partnership sites. Staff would report regularly on the progress.
#3: Prioritize City Council’s Initial Policy Time:Consider focusing on mitigation,
energy management mandates and density questions that are significantly within City
Council’s purview. Secondly, identify topics that the Council would like to request
APCHA’s new board to evaluate as part of APCHA’s 2020 workplan. These might include
the at-risk/special needs evaluation, home owner association relationships, downsizing
incentives, and housing inventory modernization. Third, identify one or two issues that
could be advanced through coordination with partner(s). Once the policy areas are
prioritized, Council can direct staff to prepare more detailed information and options in
approaching these policy decisions and community member involvement.
Overall, this approach creates a more clearly defined roadmap for your decision making
and provides the Council an alternative to reach consensus on how to approach housing
priorities for the community. Your feedback is desired.
