Jeffrey L. Durbin • Established a Sustainability Plan which resulted in disposable bag fees, electric vehicle charging stations and development of a trash and recycling pay as you throw drop off facility. • Implemented a new multijurisdictional public transit system (The Lift) which is funded via a 1 % dedicated sales tax levy which was approved by Fraser voters in 2015. • Implemented a wide variety of Intergovernmental Agreements to provide more cost-effective services with entities including the East Grand Fire Protection District, the East Grand School District, the Fraser Valley Recreation District, the Town of Winter Park, the Town of Granby, Grand County, and others. • Established the Fraser Housing Authority along with implementation of a new Fraser Deed Restriction Program. Attainable housing is one of Fraser's most significant challenges. • Implementation of medical/recreational marijuana regulations pursuant to voter approved amendments to the Colorado Constitution and a trademark battle over the slogan "Icebox of the Nation" with International Falls, MN were among my most unusual professional challenges. • The most unique initiative was a two-year cooperative study with the Town of Winter Park to consider the consolidation of the two communities. During my tenure as Town Manager, I've also served the community and the public in the following roles: • Board member on the Grand County E911 Authority Board. This Board is responsible for the collection of telephone surcharges for 911 and underwrites Grand County dispatch operations. I successfully led an effort to overhaul dispatch funding allocations among service providers. • Board member (Vice Chair) for the Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency (CIRSA), a self-insurance pool that covers over 270 municipalities and public entities. Relevant recent experience includes the following: • Gettysburg Leadership Institute. Annually, the International City Managers Association offers the opportunity for Credentialed Managers to study the leadership lessons of Gettysburg in a unique exploration of personal leadership, organizational effectiveness, and the lessons of history. • The Institute for Participatory Management and Planning, Systematic Development of Informed Consent. 2020 Marks the fifth year of taking teams to this program. Fraser, Colorado Community Development Director 2000-2003 In 2000, the Town of Fraser was just embarking into the world of significant development. Until that time, annual construction activity was minimal. My role was to prepare the community for dramatic change and to implement systems and procedures that could add capacity and increase effectiveness. • Prepared a new Comprehensive Plan for the community (the last such effort was over 20 years prior). Implemented a geographic information system (GIS) and a complete overhaul of the Town's development codes and administrative procedures. • Established new administrative procedures to provide for consistent and clear expectations. • Responsible for Planning Department and management of contractual relationships with the Grand County Building Department, Town Engineer, and other consulting teams.
