Colorado city council member faces recall bid accused of following a U.N. agenda, not a local one.

A Fort Collins man is trying to recall City Councilwoman Lisa Poppaw, claiming her allegiance is to the United Nations and its environmental agenda, not to the people in her district.

"The people in District 2 expect to be represented by a councilor who will honor the United States Constitution, serve the people's best interest, and who will say 'no' to special-interest lobbying groups and foreign organizations," resident William Flinn said in his statement of recall filed against Poppaw.

The city clerk approved the recall forms last week, and now Flinn has until June 18 to collect 1,086 signatures from registered voters in the district to initiate a recall process.

Flinn is confident he will get the signatures. "Otherwise I wouldn't have done this," he said.

City officials said if the signatures are approved, this could be the first City Council recall attempt in recent history.

Poppaw couldn't be reached for comment Monday. She told residents of her district in a written response to the recall attempt that she "ran for this position to represent you, keep Fort Collins one of America's best places to live and to protect our quality of life. I have kept my oath of office and the pledges I have made to my constituents."

Flinn said Poppaw votes consistently in favor of the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives — what he calls a "foreign organization" — which offers support to local cities for environmental sustainability.

Flinn says ICLEI wants to "transform local government, restrict business development and growth, eliminate personal-vehicle use, control population and equalize incomes worldwide."

Flinn said Poppaw's votes in favor of things such as parking-space removal for bike racks and creating parking spaces for fuel-efficient vehicles also indicate her allegiance to the U.N. Climate Action Plan.

"This plan has prevented local elected officials from making local decisions," he said.

Poppaw said she has voted against pay raises for top city management, voted to retain consumer choice for trash hauling and balanced city budgets, and cut millions from the city budget while retaining essential services.

She also voted for a resolution against uranium-mining operations in nearby Nunn and voted with a unanimous City Council to support the Climate Action Plan.
