[bouldercouncilhotline] Hotline: Question for Aug. 2 agenda

Crystal,

The only one of those cities that has a utilities board is Fort Collins.  Longmont doesn't have a board and Colorado Springs' charter provides that the council is the utilities governing board.  The Fort Collins municipal code has the following provision for appointment:

(a) The Board shall consist of seven (7) members appointed by the City Council.
(b) Each member shall serve without compensation for a term of four (4) years, except that members may be appointed by the City Council for a shorter term in order to achieve overlapping tenure. Appointments shall specify the term of office of each individual. All members shall be subject to removal by the City Council. If a vacancy occurs on the Board, it shall be filled by the City Council for the remaining unexpired portion of the term. No member shall serve more than two (2) consecutive terms. For the purposes of this provision, a "term" shall include the balance of an unexpired term served by a person appointed to fill a vacancy if such unexpired term exceeds twenty-four (24) months.

I am attaching a document that includes a summary and relevant charter and code provisions from the three cities.

Tom

Staff:  Regarding  Item 5C -Matters related to the creation of a municipal light and power utility.  Can you please survey the nearby local electrical municipal utilities (Ft. Collins, Longmont, Colorado Springs, etc ) and let us know if they have a Utility Board that governs their municipal light and power.  If they do can you ask the size of the board, who appoints, terms and do they have representation of their various customer bases (residential, commercial and industrial).
Thanks,
Crystal
