Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar by either Council or the City Manager will be considered separately under their own Section, titled “Consideration of Items Removed from Consent Calendar for Individual Discussion.” Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by Council with one vote.

City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 11 2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2025, Reappropriating Funds Previously Appropriated in 2024 But Not Expended and Not Encumbered in 2024. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2025, reappropriates monies in 2025 that were previously authorized by City Council for expenditures in 2024 for various purposes. The authorized expenditures were not spent or could not be encumbered in 2024 because: • There was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2024 and therefore, there was no known vendor or binding contract as required to expend or encumber the monies; or • The project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not be completed during 2024 and reappropriation of those dollars is necessary for completion of the project in 2025. Additionally, there may have been sufficient unspent dollars previously appropriated in 2024 to carry on programs, services, and facility improvements in 2025 for those specific purposes. In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into individual fund balances at the end of 2024 and reflect no change in Council policies. 3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 042, 2025, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Authorizing Transfers Related to 49 U.S.C. § 5339(b) Program Funding for Accessibility Enhancements to the Transit System.

Transfort secured $2,411,550 in competitive grant funding from the FTA to enhance accessibility and improve transit infrastructure, ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) throughout the Transfort system.

This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2025, repeals the 2021 International Fire Code and adopts the 2024 International Fire Code (IFC) with local amendments.

As a result, staff is requesting that Council move to amend the Ordinance on Second Reading to maintain the Building Review Commission as the Fire Board of Appeals and to repeal Section 9-3 in the manner described below.
