2023 Community Engagement

Crafting a policy that reflects our local circumstances isn’t something City staff can do alone. We need community involvement to co-create this policy and assure proposed compliance pathways accommodate the various functions, sizes, and occupancy types of local commercial and multifamily buildings.

Throughout 2023, a BPS Task Force comprised of local stakeholders met monthly to draft policy recommendations. A Technical Committee with knowledge of local building stock and building science best practices supported the Task Force and continues to met to determine how those recommendations can be put into practice in Fort Collins.

Staff also work with the Climate Equity Committee (CEC) to assess how policy recommendation outcomes may impact people and organizations who:

• Have historically not been given the opportunity to participate in policy development
• May stand to experience disproportionately negative impacts as a result of policy implementation

This team will reconvene after BPS are in place to identify any specific negative impacts and discuss how to address them. 

If you aren't a part of the Task Force, Technical or Equity Committees, but still have input on local BPS or want to participate in the process, we want to hear from you.
