Transportation planning agency terminates executive director

FORT COLLINS — The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization has removed its executive director and put a Larimer County employee with MPO experience in an interim leadership role.

The governing council, composed of representatives of the cities and counties of Northern Colorado, voted 8-3 Nov. 27 to place Terri Blackmore on paid administrative leave pending an investigation of reports presented to the board. After hearing the results of that investigation at the December meeting, the council voted unanimously Jan. 4 to terminate Blackmore and negotiate an exit agreement.
