City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 9
miscellaneous gifts to various City departments support a variety of programs and services and
are aligned with both the City’s strategic priorities and the respective donors’ designation.
In 2019, City Give, a formalized enterprise-wide initiative was launched to create a transparent,
non-partisan governance structure for the acceptance and appropriations of charitable gifts.

Federal Emergency Management Administration’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and
Communities Program Grant Funds and Authorizing Transfers for the Nature-Based
Solutions Plan and Stormwater Park Concept Plan Project.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on May 6, 2025, enables the City to
receive and expend federal funds for the Nature-Based Solutions Plan and Stormwater Park
Concept Plan Project (Project). The Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency
Management, through the Colorado Department of Public Safety (CDPS), awarded the City of
Fort Collins $398,431 of unanticipated revenue to develop the Project. This award is part of the
Federal Emergency Management Administration’s (FEMA’s) Building Resilient Infrastructure and
Communities (BRIC) 2023 program, with the $398,431 awarded to the City being federal funds.
The City has a required cost share of $245,641 that will be met through City staff time. City staff
time will be used through the life of the grant funded Project, from 2025 through October 23, 2027.
Based on City staff time being part of annual ongoing fund budgets, the City will utilize budgets
as appropriated by City Council each annual fiscal year associated with such City staff time to
meet the required cost share requirement of this grant.
Grant funds will enable the City in developing plans to support developers who seek to utilize
nature-based solutions and natural habitat design standards in their neighborhood developments
in Fort Collins. The purpose of this item is to support development of the Project by:
Appropriating $398,431 of unanticipated revenue awarded through FEMA’s BRIC program;
Utilizing matching funds in the amount of $85,378 from existing 2025 appropriations in the
Community Development and Neighborhood Services operating budget in the General fund into
this grant Project for staff time;
Utilizing matching funds in the amount of $11,841 from existing 2025 appropriations in the
Stormwater Engineering operating budget in the Stormwater fund into this grant Project for staff
time.
Utilizing matching funds in the amount of $5,957 from existing 2025 appropriations in the
Communications and Public Involvement operating budget in the General Fund into this grant
Project for staff time.
This item authorizes the Mayor to accept the grant funds and to commit the City to comply with
the terms and conditions of the intergovernmental grant agreement.

5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 077, 2025, Replacing Ordinance No. 040, 2025, and
Approving the Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and the Fort
Collins, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority Governing the Use of a Line of Credit
for the Financing of Downtown Development Authority Projects and Programs and
Delegating to the Downtown Development Authority Thereunder the Power to Incur Debt
in Relation Thereto as Authorized by State Law.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on May 6, 2025, approves an ordinance
to authorize the Mayor to sign an intergovernmental agreement between the City and Downtown
Development Authority (DDA) that will govern the processes for administering a line of credit for
financing DDA projects and programs for a six-year term from 2025 through 2030 and a maximum
pre-draw limit of $5 million. This item was previously approved by Ordinance No. 040, 2025;
however, the Exhibits A, B, and C-1 to C-5 attached to and part of the intergovernmental
agreement were not included in the meeting packet on March 18, 2025, for the second
reading of the Ordinance. The only changes on this item for its approval and replacement
of Ordinance No. 040, 2025, other than updating the dates, are the inclusion of the
intergovernmental agreement attachments.
The current Line of Credit (LOC) established in 2012 and renewed in 2018 by the City on behalf
of the DDA expired at the end of 2024. The City and DDA began taking steps in early 2024 to
renew this debt instrument with First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO) for another six-year term,
as it will be needed by the DDA to execute its projects and programs beginning in budget year
2025 and continuing through 2030. The renewal of the bank authorized Line of Credit is needed
by the DDA to satisfy compliance with C.R.S. § 31- 25-807(3)(a)( II).
On November 6, 2024, the Council Finance Committee reviewed the purpose and approach for
bringing forth a third IGA to accommodate the DDA’s authorization to use a Line of Credit and
satisfy compliance with C.R.S. § 31- 25-807(3)(a)( II). The Council Finance Committee was
supportive of advancement of the IGA to Council.
On February 13, 2025, the DDA Board adopted Resolution 2025-02 authorizing the DDA’s
approval of the IGA and the line of credit promissory note from First National Bank of Omaha.
The IGA is now advanced to Council and pursuant to the DDA Act requires adoption by ordinance.

Light & Power Fund for use in Broadband’s (herein referred to as “Connexion”) efforts to continue
new customer installations, including building out to multi-dwelling units (MDU’s) and mobile home
parks, and providing for asset management. These funds from Light & Power provide a significant

Fund, including interest, from the cash flows generated by Connexion operations.

The International Code Council (ICC) publishes code updates every three years. The Poudre Fire

and Restated Service Plan for Foothills Metropolitan District.
Per the City’s Financial Management Policy 10 – Metro Districts (the “Policy”), authorized by
Resolution 2021-045, the procedures for conducting a hearing on metropolitan district service
plan or plan amendment will be in accordance with the Council’s adopted procedures and Section

City of Fort Collins Page 8 of 9
8. Motion, discussion and vote by City Council.
In 2012, the District was organized to redevelop the then existing Foothills Mall (approval of the
formation of the District and its original Service Plan by City Council was by Resolution 2012-
084). Council approved the current Amended and Restated Service Plan for the Foothills
Metropolitan District (the “District”) on May 7, 2013 (Resolution 2013-044).
Since the District’s formation and redevelopment, some of the planned activation has been
successful. However, several factors have affected the commercial leasing of all property, which
has impacted the revenues dedicated for debt service payment. To address the underperforming
aspects, MXD Fort Collins, LLC (the “Current Developer”) is currently designing a new
redevelopment plan. The First Amendment supports this new approach to redevelopment by:
1. Increasing the maximum amount of debt the District can have outstanding.
2. Extending the length of the debt the District is allowed to incur and clarifying refunding.
3. Making other changes to ensure consistency with the new redevelopment plan.
The First Amendment expands the list of eligible improvements but does not expand the list of
eligible improvements for which the City or the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority (the
“Authority”) are obligated to participate in or contribute revenues to finance. This item is related
to another item on the agenda, Resolution 2025-060, Approving a Development Agreement to
Secure Public Benefits for Foothills Mall Redevelopment, which, if adopted, would approve a
Public Benefits Agreement that would be effective upon the effective date of this Resolution 2025-
059.
16. Resolution 2025-060 Approving the Development Agreement to Secure Public Benefits for
the Foothills Mall Redevelopment.
The purpose of this item is to seek approval of a Development Agreement to Secure Public
Benefits for Foothills Mall Redevelopment. This item is related to another item on the agenda,
Resolution 2025-059 Approving a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Service Plan
for Foothills Metropolitan District.
