Fort Collins delays vote on Housing Action Plan grant transfer

·Fort Collins·Larimer County

From the Fort Collins City Council meeting of

The Fort Collins City Council on Tuesday delayed Item 15, a planned transfer of grant funds tied to a state award for development of a new Fort Collins Housing Action Plan.

The Fort Collins City Council on Tuesday delayed Item 15, a planned transfer of grant funds tied to a state award for development of a new Fort Collins Housing Action Plan.

City staff announced during agenda review that the item would not be taken up because several councilmembers were absent, with both planned absences and an unplanned illness affecting attendance. No new date for the Housing Action Plan item was announced Tuesday.

The postponed item would have authorized transfer of already appropriated grant funds for the DOLA grant award supporting the housing-planning effort. The delay was announced alongside another schedule change: Item 17, concerning FLOC retention and data sharing, was withdrawn and postponed to June 16 so it could be considered with the full council present.

Mayor Emily Francis presided over the meeting. During the agenda review, a city staff member said the Housing Action Plan grant-transfer item was being delayed "due to the fact that we have some absences from council," including both planned and unplanned absences.

Item 15 was listed as the DOLA-grant transfer for development of a new Housing Action Plan. The action mattered because it involved moving grant funds already appropriated in connection with the state's housing-planning award.
