City Council Meeting Minutes July 3, 2018 Page 7 of 11 Director Zuccaro asked for Council feedback on this broad directional model and clarification on when and what model should be run. The Marginal Average Hybrid Model is usually done with smaller developments. The Marginal Cost Model has been used for area planning, general development plans and broader planning efforts. The intent is to use this when it adds value to the criteria being considered; is the City able to continue to provide adequate services to the community. He presented a draft table showing which model would be used according to the application type. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton asked if developers know we are reducing their suggested value by 80% won't developers game the system. Director Zuccaro stated staff would not blindly move forward if the numbers seem out of context. Scenarios could be run to true it 'up. Public Comments — None. Councilmember Maloney stated this really is a directional model to help with policy decisions. He noted the importance of when the model is used and the model assumptions. This is the product of work with the Finance Committee and many of the numbers were changed from the original model to be more accurate. He was very comfortable moving forward with this and felt this is much more accurate than the old model. Mayor Muckle supported the staff recommendation for use. Councilmember Loo asked if the chart could be clearer when there is no need to include a fiscal model. Councilmember Leh asked if the policy statement made that clear. Mayor Muckle noted staff could take a look and see if there was a need to adjust the table for clarity on that issue. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION - CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATION IN COLORADO COMMUNITIES FOR CLIMATE ACTION Mayor Muckle stated he is asking for Council's consideration of joining the Colorado Communities for Climate Action (CC4CA), a statewide coalition representing local governments (5 counties and 9 municipalities) in advancing state and federal actions to reduce climate -changing emissions. CC4CA works to bring the local government perspective into discussions around new climate actions, and to prevent the roll -back of important climate protections that impact local communities. Mayor Muckle stated their policy agenda is very much in alignment with our policy agenda and with our sustainability goals. The primary purpose is to lobby federal and state on local issues and not impede local efforts on climate action. This is another way for us to successfully collaborate with other entities on a variety of issues.
