Foothills Rotary Bulletin

Friends,
 
Hope you enjoyed the tour and presentation of the Rawhide Energy Station.  I thought it was fantastic.  Thank you to Celeste Nigh for coordinating the lunch.
 
Look forward to seeing many of you today and tomorrow at the Embassy Suites for our annual District Conference. We will certainly be paying attention to the details of hosting this conference since our club is responsible for putting it on next year!
 
Our speaker on Tuesday will be:
Ginny Sawyer, City Mgr.'s Office Policy/Projects
City of Fort Collins Capital Tax Renewal

The City has a long-standing ¼ cent sales tax that is dedicated to numerous capital projects and community amenities. This tax sunsets every 10 years at which point the City creates a new package to put before the voters. This sales tax renewal will be on the November 2025 ballot. Ginny will give details on the projects being considered by the City council to be funded by the tax.
