Subject:Littleton’s Municipal Broadband Roadmap
Presented By: Ken Price, Information Services Director; Dave Zelenok, ManagerLocal Government Services, HR Green
BACKGROUND:
At its June 13, 2017 study session, staff presented information and had a conversation with council aboutSmart Cities. The discussion explained that a smart digital infrastructure (municipal broadband) includesbelow and above ground physical assets such as conduit, fiber, and poles; as well as software, hardware anddata. Staff concluded that "A smart city needs to ensure that there is ample broadband available, affordable, andaccessible throughout its jurisdiction. Broadband is the new conduit that makes Smart Cities possible andserves as the backbone of all other smart city initiatives."
During this study session, staff and its consultant will further explore municipal broadband by sharinginformation on its benefits including:
1. Why would the City of Littleton want it?2. What is it?3. How do we implement it?
Staff will also update council on potential future next steps.

Overview Remember why a smart city?
Remember what is a smart city? Components of a “smarter” city?
Potential digital infrastructure initiatives?
Source: “Smart city” definition from Wikipedia. (10 April 2017). Retrieved April 12, 2017 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_city.
Major technological, economic and environmental changes have
generated interest in smart cities - aging populations -
- urban population growth - - pressures on public finances -
- economic restructuring - - online retail and entertainment -
- climate change -
A smart city is a community vision to integrate data and technology to improve the efficiency
of services and manage city assets
What makes smart cities smart? Collect data (facts, truth, evidence) – real-time
Analyze data (automation) – real-time Modify service delivery – real-time
Real-time data-driven decision making!

Six Components found in most Smart Cities - Smarter Transportation -
- Smart Digital Infrastructure - - Citizen Engagement - Smart & Big Data - - Data Visualization - Leadership & Vision -
Potential Digital Infrastructure Initiatives
One of the key economic benefits of broadband is the ability to compete

Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
What Is Driving Broadband Changes?
• Demand for bandwidth = 25% annual growth rate • The technologies are there to support demand • Incumbents are unwilling to invest in upgrades • So what’s changed since 2010?
• Enter GoogleFiber • Broadband now discussed as the 4th Utility
TV HDTV 4K 8K
2G 3G 4G LTE 5G

Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
Some Bits & Bytes Background – Broadband • 25 mbps is current FCC definition
• Most Americans have < 50 mbps • 10% of America unserved • In rural America…
• It’s tragic: 39% are unserved • Even where available, buffering often
deliberately induced to deny streaming valuable video content
• Speed Check Site: www.speedtest.net
8
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
What can you do with a gig? • “Cut the cord” – “Content”
• 80 mbps+ streaming HD – “Buffering” • Soon: 4K TV • Any HD program/language
• High Tech Businesses • Entrepreneurs • Economic Development • Property Values • Home sale prices –
• Studies: 3% increase in Home Prices (~$10,000) • Cost to install fiber/broadband ~ $2,000 - $3,000

Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
Colorado Legal Concerns… Nearly 20 states restrict local governments from providing broadband In Colorado – SB-152 prohibits local governments from providing cable television
service, telecommunications service, or advanced service Example: wi-fi in parks, libraries, public places not permitted Partnerships with private sector: highly restricted
Cities can re-establish the right taken away by SB-152 Exemptions obtained –
2011: 1st Major City: Longmont (Gov’t model) 2013: 2nd Major City: Centennial (P3 model) Nov 2, 2015: ~13 cities & counties Nov 3, 2015: ~ 60 cities & counties & 3 districts Today: 100+ Municipalities

Community Fiber – You ARE already partly “pre-positioned” • Plenty of existing public fiber
• SCADA - Utility Control Systems • Intelligent Transportation Systems • AMR/AMI - Utility / Automatic Meter
Reading • Street Lights • Schools, hospitals, public safety
• Benefit • Focus on building infrastructure • Low cost entry point - “piggybacking”
• How • Develop “Fiber Friendly Policies” • Innovative Permitting, IGA’s and P3’s • Grant & Other funding sources
• Risks • Not community “broadband” service • Slow path
14
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
• Do you own pipes in the ground? • Do you control how they are
placed? • NEW – Room in Electrical
Conduit for fiber optics! • Important to understand:
• Complex inter-relationships • Revenue opportunities • How the commercial
“fiber game” is really played • What’s really valuable, what’s not
Repurposing Your Digital Infrastructure
15
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
Costs • $20/month typical per light • Power < $4/month (100 watt HPS) • $16/month – “PROFIT” (maintenance, etc.) • LED’s – reduce power expenses by 50%+ • BUT - Power is often < 20% of total expenses
Colorado cities now municipalizing lighting • Paying separately for energy • Up-front capital & conversion costs • Littleton one of four cities exploring alternatives
R.O.I. ~ 5-7 years Millions in cost savings possible
Better yet, Re-purpose street light systems: Traffic signals, utilities and public broadband!

Envision Plan Design Operate
The Broadband Roadmap
Build
Albert Einstein once said that if he was given an hour to solve a problem, he'd spend the
first 55 minutes thinking about it and 5 minutes coming up with solutions
Avoid an expensive initial feasibility study, instead: Envision & Implement!

Primary “Types” of Broadband Services: 3 Service “Models” explored today
1. Regional/Cooperative Network (Multiple agencies/communities)
2. Community Fiber Network (Utilities, Streets, Facilities)
3. Community Broadband Service (Retail service to home & business)
Each option has unique benefits and risks
20
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
Regional/Cooperative Network • What
• Regional buildout focused on “Aggregating” - reducing cost of services
• Benefit • Significant ongoing savings • Can make “community fiber” or • A “broadband build” feasible
• How • Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) –
LPS, CHV, Library, etc • Risks
• Complexity of multiple partners • Ongoing management of resources
21
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
Sharing Existing & Low-cost New Fiber • Integrate Public Works,
Public Safety and community needs
• Advance broader community goals
• Reduce: cost & duplicate fiber
• High Priority: Develop new “fiber friendly” policies
• Goal: “Smart City”

32
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
Your Feasibility Study will say: Your community will want: • Better broadband (Goal: 1,000 mbps) • A choice of competing carriers • Streaming HD content • At half price • …Right Now Your city will likely find: • Financial feasibility > ~ 28% “Take Rate” • You have more access to fiber than you thought • You have powers you never knew • You can easily create millions in new fiber • It’s hard / You’ll need experience to put it all together …
Chances are: it IS ALL feasible. But – you’ll need a vision…
33
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
• Integrate public works, public safety and community needs
• Reduce: cost and duplicate fiber
• Recapitalize street lights
• Integrate / interconnect traffic signals, street lights, utilities, and anchor institutions – “SMART CITIES”
• Re-purpose assets (e.g., abandoned pipe as conduit, etc.)
• High Priority: Implement new “fiber friendly” policies
• Consider SB-152 EXEMPTION – 100/100 since ‘09
Key Takeaways
34
Creating a Municipal Broadband Network in Your Community
The Way Ahead
Identify all fiber-related assets: GIS layers, records, conduits, strands, agreements, splice
points, vaults, etc. Look for extra capacity – even abandoned infrastructure
Estimate excess capacity and capabilities Explore telecom cost reductions by interconnecting city facilities Develop partnering agreements - other governments, LPS, Library Explore street cut & pavement degradation fee exemptions Create strategic plan & agree on courses of action

Agenda Date: 07/11/2017
Subject:Review of Council Priorities
Presented By: Mark Relph, City Manager
BACKGROUND:
The city council completed a retreat on April 28th and identified seven priorities they wished to pursue over thebalance of the year. The intent coming out of the retreat was for staff to prepare an action plan for each of thegoals. The meeting on July 11th is an opportunity for council to confirm the intent of each goal, the action stepsnecessary to achieve the intent and the schedule for each goal. The seven goals include:
1. Deciding the direction for an excess of TABOR revenues2. Conducting district public meetings3. Fire service options4. Development design guidelines5. Bellevue corridor plan6. Strategy for long-term capital funding7. A process for developing a “voice of the community”
The confirmation of the goals and accompanying documents will in effect set a “work plan” for staff to focusthe resources of the organization as a first priority when compared to other issues. It is understood there areother issues the organization is currently pursuing and others that will be added as a priority, but this work planallows the council to make conscience decisions with intent and schedule as time and conditions dictate.
The schedules for some of these goals had to begin shortly after the April retreat, or were already in progress;e.g. TABOR revenue decisions and fire service options, respectively. Such items have already been beforecouncil at study sessions to confirm direction.
One of the more significant goals, and perhaps less defined coming out of the retreat, was deciding an actionplan for the “voice of the community”. What was largely discussed at the retreat was a series of tactics forgaining a wider, broader public engagement process that would allow more feedback from citizens on theissues and priorities within the city. This information could be used to not only inform the council on shorterterm decisions (e.g. budget process), but perhaps lead to longer term processes and direction.
Staff is proposing a deeper definition of the “voice of the community” goal that could include a formalvisioning process, leading to an update to the city’s comprehensive plan and finally updating the zoning anddevelopment codes. The success of such an effort will be dependent upon how the opportunity is defined andthe design of citizen engagement. Staff will discuss with council options for how we might approach such aneffort.

The attachments for this staff communication include the following documents:
· Attachment 1 - The session report by retreat facilitator after the conclusion of the April 28th retreat.
· Attachment 2 - list of the priorities with a description of the goal and a list of actions steps with dates.
· Attachment 3 - A detailed schedule, which provides a deeper view of the steps necessary to completeeach goal.
· Attachment 4 - draft tentative council calendar that takes the major decision points from the previousattachment and places them at the appropriate study session and regular council meeting. Thisattachment allows the council to see what is scheduled over the next several months and decide if theschedule is not only appropriate, but to also decide if there are other issues the council wishes to add,postpone or remove from their overall work plan.
· Attachment 5 - A list of the policy questions council approved for 2017 and their status to completion.This is intended as reference material for council in confirming the priorities for the next severalmonths.
· Attachment 6 - copy of the PowerPoint presentation for the Study Session
FISCAL IMPACT:
Some of the council goals will require additional resources in order to complete and some can be completedwith existing resources. Staff has provided an estimate for those goals requiring additional resources basedupon staff’s understanding of the issue. Council’s confirmation of the work plan will allow staff be refine theestimates and decide if additional appropriation is necessary for 2017 and/or funds proposed for the 2018budget. Below is a summary of the estimates:
1. Deciding the direction for an excess of TABOR revenuesFunding: in-house staff time.
2. Conducting district public meetingsFunding: in-house staff time.
3. Fire service optionsFunding: Contract with CPSM at estimated $50,000
4. Development design guidelinesFunding: Estimated contract at $75,000
5. Bellevue corridor planFunding: Estimated contract at $50,000
6. Strategy for long-term capital fundingFunding: in-house staff time.
7. A process for developing a “voice of the community”Funding: Depending upon the scope, but an estimate of $250,000 over a couple of years is
probable.

The Goal
Understand Councils Perspectives on Current Issues and Key
Objectives
7/6/2017 3 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Interview Themes
1. Perceived lack of accountability and consequences when Council members do not
follow through on their commitments and demonstrate willingness to work as a team.
2. Lack of strategy and clear strategic focus. (Structure & Leadership)
3. Anchored in the past transgressions mindset. Polarization and resentment.
4. Closed communication channel. Council is not communicating effectively as a unified
team. Passive aggressive and unprofessional behavior in meetings.
5. Perceived lack of alignment and focus on common goals.
6. Passive aggressive behaviors are demonstrated in Council member interactions. Bad
behaviors are allowed and not addressed in a way that produces sustainable change
in behavior.
7. Trust is relatively low among Council overall.
7/6/2017 4 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Interview Themes
8. Council is not cohesive. Focused on optimizing their agendas. Does not have an
integrated plan or vision for the City.
9. Inability to reach closure on past/present festering issues and interpersonal
roadblocks/baggage.
10. Lack of ability to work together as a Council strategically with a focus on doing the
leadership work to set direction, address important issues, and demonstrate
commitment to decisions.
7/6/2017 5 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Common Ground
1. Want to figure out how to get the community to come together and define the future of
the City (Strategic Plan).
2. Set expectations for Council member standards of behavior and hold each other
accountable going forward.
3. Need to set aside agendas and work on the behalf of the community. Existing polarity
between community coalitions needs be overcome (Item 1 above).
4. Need to get a City Manager and City Attorney in place.
5. All have other jobs/lives. Not full-time Council members and compensation is
inadequate.
6. Polarization and distrust exist among Council members.
7. Inability to reach agreement on the important qualifications of the next City Manager
and City Attorney as well as the compensation package.
8. Silo mentality. Focus on own constituents rather than finding common ground.
7/6/2017 6 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Common Ground
9. City infrastructure issues need to be addressed.
10. Revenue shortfall needs to be addressed.
11. Police service, emergency services, museum, parks, and library are all pluses for the
city and are done well.
12. Need to engage the business community and get them more involved.
13. Need to attract more of the “right” business to the City.
14. Mixed perspectives on the zoning and code issue. Perspectives range from a need
to prioritize code/zoning changes to code/zoning changes are part of individual
community member’s agendas. Lack of uniform application of code.
7/6/2017 7 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Interview Themes - Objectives
1. New staff and new blood. Many staff have been around for decades. Need to
leadership. Need new ideas.
2. Littleton a divided city Don’t build vs. build. Need someone that is middle of the road
and balanced between the two extremes.
3. Address revenue issues and why we need to do certain things to address revenues
and expenses.
4. Need to build up Littleton Blvd to get people to the heart of the city. Was going to
have a study for 7 companies to do a study on Littleton Blvd. Need to work with the
restaurants to drive ideas. FOCUS ON LITTLETON BLVD.
5. Should look at four areas (Mobility/Transportation – Streets and roads, Economics,
Housing, Infrastructure – protecting what we have) – each should have its own vision
6. Need to protect what we have and plan for the future.
7/6/2017 9 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Interview Themes - Objectives
7. There needs to be a strategic plan/10 year plan for each of the four areas.
8. Need to create a work culture/value around strategic planning. Take the mystery out of it and have it be part of the thought process.
9. Streets have taken a beating over the last 8 years. Also have not invested in training in that time. New people with ideas have to recreate the wheel.
10. Finding ways to encourage people to maintain or improve their properties. Making sure they are the kinds of places someone would buy (code enforcement)
11. There are certain parts of the city that would benefit from some improvement. Not in the councils direct control. Make sure every place in the city is attractive for either businesses or residents. Could be done through code enforcement and other ways. The overall revenue issue.
12. Ensure that we continue to have a healthy tree canopy public and private. In the top tier of the number of trees per capita. Tree city USA list for the number of trees and the variety of trees. City has a tree sell every year. Arborists consults to people to make sure the trees thrive. Ensure a variety of trees so that disease.
7/6/2017 10 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Interview Themes - Objectives
13. Need to find a way to accommodate parking needs downtown. Merchants rely on
people having parking available. Throughout the city as well.
14. Social outreach activities that will help breakdown the divisiveness in the city. People
are trying to say things but can’t be heard. Need to identify ways to break down
perceived images and barriers that prevent people from being heard or listened to.
15. Need to have a zoning long-term plan. Convert to a thoughtful planning model it will
be the right thing for Littleton.
16. City should work on what do we want Littleton to look like in 20 to 30 years then
design it toward that instead of letting it be designed.
17. The Cities priorities should be on improving Public Safety, Civil Rights, Privacy,
Decent Jobs, Use Development, Library, Museum, Parks and Open Space.
18. Ensure the city has financial integrity and sustainability. Be smart about how we are
spending the city’s money. Need to anticipate a local match if funding is provided.
7/6/2017 11 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
Interview Themes - Objectives
19. Have some challenging intersections and transition points. Traffic flow indicates there
will be problems in the future. People speeding through neighborhoods as transition
points.
20. Need to have a real conversation and bring integrity in the code and zoning
conversation.
21. Find congestion relief in the short-term. People stuck in neighborhoods in the
morning and afternoon.
22. Input from business and partnership with business.
23. Maintain public safety.

7/6/2017 28 COL Council & Transformation Point Confidential 2017
2017 City Council Priorities and Workplan The Littleton City Council held a facilitated workshop on April 28, 2017 to understand council’s perspectives on current issues and key objectives for the next five months. Working with a facilitator and the executive team, the council agreed on seven priorities:
1. The TABOR issue, refund versus investment in infrastructure. 2. Change how council meets with the public, holding district meetings once per quarter. 3. Fire department unification decision or redesign of current system including dispatch. 4. Address design guidelines for impact to community culture. 5. Prioritize corridor study for Belleview Avenue. 6. Ensure maintenance of the public infrastructure, decide on an infrastructure approach and
develop a funding source to support it. 7. Develop process to determine the Voice of the Community.
The material that follows includes a statement of the issue or opportunity with action steps for accomplishing the issue. Accompanying this work plan is a schedule that includes dates for significant milestones and decision points for council. This schedule then updates the council’s tentative calendar for future study sessions and regular meetings. The appropriate departments will be involved depending on the issue. Priority 1 – The TABOR issue, refund versus investment in infrastructure. Preliminary financial estimates indicate an estimated excess of $1.9 million over the TABOR cap for 2016. Council will determine whether to refund this amount to citizens or place a question on the ballot asking whether the city can spend the funds on specific issues; e.g. capital projects. Staff is developing a list of potential capital projects for council to consider. Council must decide on a refund method regardless of whether a TABOR election is scheduled or approved by voters so that staff is prepared to deliver a refund by the end of the year. There are two proposed tracks for pursuing this issue, depending upon the council’s decision for a refund or an election. 1a. Refund Action Steps 1. Staff prepare options and recommendations on refund methods 6/26. 2. Council review all options at study session 7/25. 3. Resolution on decision to refund and methodology 8/1. 4. First reading if property tax mill levy reduction 10/3. 5. Second reading if property tax mill levy reduction 10/17. 1b. Election Action Steps 1. Staff deadline to narrow list of projects by 6/26. 2. Council review all options at study session 7/25 plus draft ballot language. 3. Resolution at regular meeting 8/1. 4. Intent to coordinate election with county clerks 7/28. 5. Solicit public input for Blue Book 8/2. 7. Deadline for IGAs to counties 8/29. 8. Deadline for TABOR information for October issues of the Littleton Report 9/1.
9. Certify ballot by 9/8. 10. Pro/con statements for Blue Book 9/22. 11. Election 11/7. Priority 2 – Change how council meets with the public, holding district meetings once per quarter. Council expressed interest in holding quarterly meetings targeted to each of the four districts of the city. These district meetings would be held quarterly from September to May at the Littleton Center in the evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. with refreshments. The meetings would include a brief overview of current issues and lead to an open and transparent community dialog focusing on the immediate and future needs of the city as well as untapped opportunities. This is an option to become the venue for Littleton Listens, the continuing process to engage the community. Action Steps 1. Study session 7/11. 2. Set dates (September 9, November 9, January 18, March 14) 3. Mail invitations 4. Write overview script on current issues. Utilize Systematic Development of Informed
Consent and Appreciative Inquiry to engage community members in discussing specific issues facing Littleton.
5. Report and build upon results.
Priority 3 – Fire department unification discussion or redesign of current system including dispatch. Littleton Fire Rescue (LFR) was approached by South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) to discuss the potential for unification of the departments. Littleton and its fire partners along with Cunningham Fire and South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) boards and councils agreed to discuss and evaluate the feasibility of unifying the three departments. The first draft of the written proposal was presented to the four policy making boards and council in early May, 2017. Feedback indicated that the proposal lacked depth for the policy makers to make a decision as to the feasibility of the proposal. Additional information is being developed to ensure the proposal is comprehensive. Lastly, the City of Littleton (COL) and its fire partners (Highlands Ranch Metro District and the Littleton Fire Protection District) originally agreed to hire a consultant, the Center for Public Safety Management (CPSM), as a ‘neutral’ third party to evaluate the proposal and list the pros and cons comparing services and costs. As of late May, the fire partners agreed to stop the work of CPSM. The COL is to pursue a separate contract with CPSM for the evaluation of the revised proposal. The fire partners may or may not use CPSM collectively for the review of the revised proposal. COL and its partners did consider a separate contract for dispatch services. The city council did not approve an IGA for dispatch on June 27th; therefore, the dispatch service will remain as a COL operation.
It is anticipated the COL will pursue over the balance of the year a discussion with our fire partners multiple options for improving the existing relationship. The existing fire partner relationship would be the priority for review, but staff would continue to discuss and evaluate options with South Metro Fire Rescue. Staff would provide periodic updates to all policy makers as conditions require. 3a. Dispatch Action Steps 1. Council study session 3/28/17. 2. Council study session 5/19/17. 3. Ordinance on first reading at regular meeting 6/6/17. 4. Ordinance on second reading at regular meeting 6/27/17 - Not approved.
3b. Unification Action Steps 1. First draft of proposal submitted to four policy making boards and council 5/1/17. 2. LFR partners review committee monthly discussion 5/12/17. 3. CPSM stops work on the evaluation. The other two fire partners submit issues to South
Metro for consideration in a revised proposal 5/30/17. 4. CPSM attends council study session to develop issues for South Metro consideration for
a revised proposal 6/13/17. 5. LFR partners review committee monthly discussion 6/13/17. 6. LFR partners review committee monthly discussion 7/11/17. 8. Continued discussion with the fire partners and possibly South Metro - present to
12/29/2017 9. Updates to council and other policy makers as conditions require - TBD Priority 4 – Address design guidelines for impact to community culture. Council identified a priority to address design guidelines for future development and redevelopment to ensure the community’s character is maintained and enhanced over time. The city has adopted design guidelines for the Santa Fe Corridor and for Downtown Littleton. The design guidelines for Downtown Littleton and the design guidelines for Historic Preservation are in need of a thorough review and to consider some design updates. Staff recommends the review of the Downtown Littleton and Historic Preservation design guidelines first, and then identify a prioritized list of other areas for application of design guidelines. Action Steps 1. Define problem or opportunity. Hold study session with council on concept and public
process 8/22/17. 2. Field trip with Planning Commission and Historical Preservation Board to other local,
similar-size communities to tour historic areas and alleyways (Louisville, Longmont, Arvada) September 2017.
3. RFP for design professional team to assist staff - August to October 2017. 4. Conduct public process November 2017 to April 2018.
5. Draft the city’s downtown design guidelines/historic guidelines 5/1/18. 6. Establish updated document and move forward for adoption by Planning Commission
5/14/18. 7. Establish updated document and move forward for city council adoption 6/5/18. 8. Future next step-identify list of other areas of city in need of design guidelines July
2018. Priority 5 – Prioritize corridor study for Belleview Avenue. Council identified a priority to establish a corridor plan for Belleview Avenue, between Lowell and Santa Fe, to ensure future development and redevelopment of this area of the city happens in a manner consistent with the neighborhood it serves. In the 2017 budget, an update to the Santa Fe Corridor Plan was to be done, and it included adding the Belleview corridor. With city staff initiating a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study to get underway in coordination with CDOT and other jurisdictions to the north, it appears appropriate to start with Belleview and to consider the Santa Fe corridor and any updates to that plan, once the PEL is further along as it will influence the Santa Fe plan. Action Steps 1. Planning Commission to brainstorm ideas on corridor plan for Belleview - 5/22/17. 2. Define problem or opportunity. Hold study session with council on concept and public
process - 7/11/17. 3. Hire contractor/consultant help to develop the plan - August 2017. 4. Conduct public process August-October 2017. 5. Establish plan and move forward for adoption - Planning Commission 10/24/17, Council
11/21/17. 6. Future action step-establish a priority list for creating additional corridor plans for city’s
main corridor areas - November 2017. Priority 6 – Long-term capital funding strategy. Ensure maintenance of public infrastructure, decide on an infrastructure approach, and develop a funding source to support it. Action Steps 1. Define the problem or opportunity – 8/28/17.
i. Update a draft of the fiscally constrained 5-year Capital Projects Plan. ii. Define the problem; consider the outcome from TABOR election.
iii. Provide revenue options menu – short-term and long-term (borrow, sales or lodging tax election, reserve policy, etc.).
2. Present to council as part of the budget process - 9/11/17 (budget meeting). 3. Study session to evaluate the funding options relative to the TABOR vote outcome.
Provide direction on which options to move forward and timeline – 11/14/17. 4. If something moves forward, study session to review the public process (e.g. district
meetings, open houses, newsletter, citizen committee) and if voter approval is necessary, review schedule for a possible ballot measure– 1/23/2018.
5. Implement public process - first and second quarter 2018.
6. Council study session to confirm if something moves forward – 07/10/18. Priority 7 – Develop Process to Determine Voice of the Community The Voice of the Community is an opportunity to gain both short-term feedback from the community, as well as a broad, long-term approach on defining the needs and direction of the city. This priority is an opportunity to define the values of the community and create a lasting vision that can then be used to create policy direction for updating the city’s comprehensive plan and codes. This process could also establish a foundation for developing a broader strategic plan for the city. This priority would include utilizing the services of a professional firm to assist with a process.
The shorter term aspect could allow for periodic council feedback at specific points in time, thereby informing annual efforts such as goal setting and the budget process. One such example is “Littleton Listens,” which is for a project or area-specific approach. The first Littleton Listens are scheduled for 6/22 and 6/24.
There are two additional aspects the council could consider: hearing from other local cities that have addressed a similar goal (i.e. vision to ComPlan to code update); and a city- sponsored “speaker series” where subject matter experts are invited to present on such topics as economic development, changing character of retail development, and public processes that balance neighborhood character with long-term redevelopment opportunities. The former provides the council and community some understanding of what other local communities learned with such an effort. The speaker series is an opportunity for a community-wide discussion on a series of topics which the city will likely address through formal policy action (e.g. Vision, ComPlan and code updates). Action Steps 1) Other local jurisdictions sharing their experience with Vision, ComPlan and code update –
study session 8/22/17. 2) Review Scope of Service for “Voice of the Community” and outline of concept for speaker
series – study session 9/26/17. 3) Publish Vision RFP 10/6/17. 4) Deadline for response to RFP 11/7/17. 5) Study session to review RFP 12/12/17. 6) Award contract for RFP at regular meeting 1/16/18. 7) Vision process begins 2/1/18. 8) Draft Vision due in council packet 12/4/18. 9) Study session to review Vision document 12/11/18 - Decision: Short and long-term priorities
- ComPlan, Strategic Plan, code changes, master plans. 10) Adopt Vision at regular meeting 1/15/19.
OTHER PROJECTS Zoning/Subdivision/Land Use Code Updates – Community Development and Public Works Community Development has updated Chapter 9 of the Subdivision Code and plans to work with Public Works to complete revision of the Subdivision Code this year. This also includes Public
Works completing Transportation Engineering Design Standards (TEDS). If city council decides to undertake a visioning process, it may make sense for larger policy items (such as review of the zone districts) in the zoning code to be addressed after the visioning is complete. If that is the direction council wants to proceed, Community Development and Public Works have put together a prioritization list of performance standards in the land use codes to be addressed now. Additionally, previously the city had started to review the zoning code use table, and it was put on hold during the transition to a new city manager. Staff will bring this to council for discussion. Two study sessions are scheduled later this fall on these items. Mineral Station Master Plan – Community Development This project will be restarted and a draft plan, titled “Mineral Station Action Plan” is scheduled to be reviewed by the planning commission and city council in a joint session on 9/26/17. Prior to that, the steering committee will provide input. After the joint study session, a community-wide input session and opportunity will be scheduled. From there, the plan will be before planning commission and council for formal consideration. Downtown Area Light Rail Master Plan – Community Development Community Development is starting this process with the June Littleton Listens meetings which will be followed by a month long Open Littleton process culminating in recommendations and direction for this item. Community Development will use that information to identify the problem or opportunity, and define a scope of work to be reviewed at the 10/10/17 study session. Next step would be to conduct the public process and create a draft plan, November to June. A draft plan would be presented to council on 6/26/18. Note: this project must be started by the end of 2017 to retain the grant funding. Traffic – Public Works 10/24/2017 ADA Transition Plan – Public Works 10/24/2017
