This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 4, 2025, supports the Gardens

• Appropriating $9,800 of unanticipated grant revenue awarded by the Colorado Department of
Agriculture (CDA)) and
• Utilizing matching funds in the amount of $9,800 from existing 2025 appropriations into these
new grant projects.
In January 2025 the CDA awarded the City a total of $9,800 under the CDA’s Agricultural
Workforce Development Grant Program (AWDP). The Garden’s Internship Program aligns with
the objective of the AWDP in addressing the shortage of skilled agricultural workers in Colorado
by providing training and support through internships. The City will be providing an additional
$9,800 in required matching funds. The award funds and City’s matching funds will support hiring
two interns for the Garden’s’ summer 2025 internship program.
The $9,800 in funds through the CDA’s Agricultural Workforce Development Grant Program are
state funds and are pursuant to two separate State of Colorado purchase orders, with
corresponding terms and conditions. Each award/purchase order provides up to $4,900 for each
paid internship provided through the Garden’s summer 2025 internship program. There is no
requirement that the City sign an agreement for either award. Rather, upon the City submitting
the first request for reimbursement under each award/purchase order to CDA, the City agrees to
all terms and conditions of the award.
Adopted on Second Reading.

These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 4, 2025, help fund the Victim
Services Unit of Fort Collins Police Services for victim advocacy services which are required under
the Colorado Victim Rights Amendment for victims of crime and their family members.
The Victim Services Unit has been awarded a $70,000 VALE grant for the period from January 1,
2025, to December 31, 2025. The VALE grant is awarded through the Eighth Judicial District
Victim Assistance and Law Enforcement (VALE) Board to help fund services provided by the
Victim Services team. This grant will fund 75% of the salary for a full-time contractual 40-hour per
week victim advocate.
The Victim Services Unit has also been awarded a 12-month grant in the amount of $17,505 for
the period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, by the Colorado Division of Criminal
Justice under the Federal Victim of Crime Act (VOCA). This grant will help fund services provided
by the Victim Services Unit. These funds will be used to pay 25% of the salary for the victim
advocate who provides crisis intervention services for sexual assault victims between the school
ages of kindergarten through 12th grade.
Both Ordinances Adopted on Second Reading.
7. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 040, 2025, Approving an 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 March 4, 2025, approves an ordinance
to approve and 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 per-draw limit of $5 million.
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 the City 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 the City Council and pursuant to the DDA Act requires adoption by
ordinance.
Adopted on Second Reading.
8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2025, Reappropriating Funds Previously Appropriated
in 2024 But Not Expended and Not Encumbered in 2024.
City of Fort Collins Page 5 of 12
The purpose of this item is to reappropriate 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.
Adopted on First Reading.
9. First 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.
The purpose of this item is to support Transfort in enhancing accessibility throughout the Transfort

Transit Administration (FTA);

Improvements to the Transit Service Fund where it will serve as local match for federal grant
funding; and
• Appropriating a development contribution to construction of $193,000 from CSU’s Alternative
Transportation Fee Advisory Board (ATFAB) to serve as local match for federal grant funding.
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. These improvements align with the City’s
commitment to providing equitable, accessible, and inclusive transit services for all community
members.
Adopted on First Reading.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2025, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and
Unanticipated Philanthropic Revenue Received Through City Give for Various Programs
and Services as Designated by the Donors.
The purpose of this item is to request an appropriation of $26,632 in philanthropic revenue
received by City Give. These 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.

by:

amended.
Since the City's adoption of and amendments to the 2021 IFC are being repealed in their entirety
and replaced with adoption of and amendments to the 2024 IFC, all highlights and strikethrough
formatting in the Ordinance show changes from the way the language appears in the 2024 IFC,

Removed from Consent.
19. First Reading of Ordinance No. 052, 2025, Amending the Boundary of the Willard and
Gladys Eddy House and Shared Barn, 509 Remington Street, Fort Collins, Colorado, a Fort

The purpose of this item is to seek an amendment, as requested by the property owners of 509
Remington Street, to the Landmark boundary listed in the designation ordinance of the property
to more accurately reflect its legal description. The lot line modification was recorded with Larimer
County in 2024. After review and consideration of the proposal at their February 19, 2025 hearing,
the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) recommended through HPC Resolution 1, 2025,
that Council approve the Ordinance amending the Landmark boundary.
Removed from Consent.
20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 053, 2025, Amending the Boundary and Landmark Name of
the Fred W. Stover House and Garage, 515 Remington Street, Fort Collins, Colorado, a Fort

Remington Street, a City Landmark designated in 1997, to the Landmark boundary and title listed
City of Fort Collins Page 9 of 12
in the designation ordinance of their property to more accurately reflect its legal description. The
lot line modification was recorded with Larimer County in 2024, and the barn that was shared
between 515 and 509 Remington Street was relocated entirely within the 509 Remington Street
parcel. After review and consideration of the proposal at their February 19, 2025, hearing, the
Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) recommended through HPC Resolution 1, 2025, that
Council approve the Ordinance amending the boundary and the name of the Landmark.
Adopted on First Reading.
21. Resolution 2025-017 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement and Grant Agreement
with Larimer County for a Grant From the City’s Digital Inclusion Program.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement and
Grant Agreement with Larimer County for a Digital Inclusion grant made to the Larimer County
Economic and Workforce Development to support the “Digital Roots” bilingual program.
Resolution Adopted.
22. Resolution 2025-018 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement and Grant Agreement
with Poudre School District for a Grant from the City’s Digital Inclusion Program.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement and
Grant Agreement with Poudre School District (PSD) for a grant from the City’s Digital Inclusion
Program for the PSD Digital Literacy Liaison, who will support the technological literacy of PSD
Family Liaisons, as well as the families and students that they serve.
Resolution Adopted.
23. Resolution 2025-019 Approving the First Amendment to the “Agreement to Secure Public
Benefits for Mulberry Development as Provided in Service Plan for Mulberry Metropolitan
District Nos. 1 Through 6.”
The purpose of this item is to consider the First Amendment to the “Agreement to Secure Public
Benefits for Mulberry Development as Provided in Service Plan for Mulberry Metropolitan District
Nos. 1 Through 6” (the “First Amendment”). The “Agreement to Secure Public Benefits for
Mulberry Development as Provided in Service Plan for Mulberry Metropolitan District Nos.1
Through 6” (the “Public Benefits Agreement” or “PBA”) requires alley access to the garages of at
least 40% of the total dwelling units. This First Amendment would require 45% of the total dwelling
units to have non-street facing garages rather than the current requirement of 40% of total
dwelling units being served by alley loaded garages. Alleys limit design flexibility for multi-unit
buildings, and this First Amendment would meet the intent of the Public Benefits Agreement by
ensuring garages do not dominate the streetscape within the Mulberry Metropolitan Districts 1
through 6 (the “Metro District”).
Clarifying this PBA requirement has become critical to reviewing development plans for the many
phases of the planned unit development (“Bloom PUD”), while working to achieve the overall
intent of providing more active and engaging streetscapes that are dominated by homes and front
porches instead of driveways and garage doors.
Resolution Adopted.
