H) PUBLIC COMMENT FOLLOW-UP
I) COUNCILMEMBER REMOVAL OF ITEMS FROM CONSENT CALENDAR FOR DISCUSSION
CONSENT CALENDAR
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow Council to spend its time and energy on the important
items on a lengthy agenda. Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Agenda items pulled

their own Section, titled “Consideration of Items Removed from Consent Calendar for Individual

• Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine;

City of Fort Collins Page 3 of 10
1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the October 21, 2025, Regular meeting.
The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes of the October 21, 2025, Regular meeting.
2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 163, 2025, Appropriating Unanticipated Philanthropic
Revenue Received Through City Give and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 21, 2025, requests an
appropriation of $16,325 in philanthropic revenue received through 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.
3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 164, 2025, Making a Supplemental Appropriation for
2025 Transfort Operational Expenses.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 21, 2025, makes a
supplemental appropriation for 2025 Transfort operational expenses. The post-pandemic Transit
industry has experienced unprecedented levels of cost increases resulting in estimated operating
cost increases of 50%-70% across the industry for 2025. Transfort is experiencing similar
expense impacts with significant cost increases across the three largest segments of its budget:
personnel, vehicle repair services, and contracted transportation services. Compounding the
impact of Transfort specific expense overruns are citywide fiscal pressures that require a
reduction in the previously allocated General Fund support of the Transit Fund. As a result,
Transfort is requesting a supplemental appropriation of $2.8M from the 2050 T ax Parks Rec
Transit OCF Fund (“2050 Transit Tax”) to support Transfort’s 2025 operational expenses.
4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 165, 2025, Declaring Certain City-Owned Property at
Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area as Right-of-Way.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 21, 2025, declares
approximately 0.2 acres of Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area as Right -of-Way for the Trilby
Road Bridge Replacement project.
The Trilby Road Bridge Replacement project is one element of Utilities’ comprehensive stream
rehabilitation along Fossil and Stanton Creeks. This portion of the project will facilitate the
installation of a replacement bridge and culvert and permit future bicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure. The existing culvert is structurally deficient and blocks fish passage and stream
habitat connectivity. The bridge replacement will restore passage for native fish and
macroinvertebrates and connect a soon-to-be restored reach of Fossil Creek (slated for Fall
2025/early-2026) to an upstream reach slated for restoration in the next few years. This portion
of the project will also support future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. The additional right -
of-way proposed for the bridge replacement encompasses 8,890.61 square feet or 0.2 acres.

ordinances that provide five tree policies for potential adoption in City Municipal and Land Use
Codes, including an ordinance for tree spacing and Code maintenance. The five policies intend
to update best management practices around tree preservation and mitigation, thus improving
predictability and simplification of the current code.
Associated Ordinances Nos. 172 and 174 are on Discussion due to a split vote.
6. First Reading of Ordinance No. 176, 2025, Being the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for
the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority Relating to the Annual Appropriations
for the Fiscal Year 2026 and Fixing the Mill Levy for the Downtown Development Authority
for Fiscal Year 2026.

City of Fort Collins Page 5 of 10
The purpose of this item is to propose 2026 Utility Rates for Council consideration, which align
with the 2026 City Manager’s Recommended Budget. Monthly utility rates are proposed to
increase 6% for electric customers, 9% for water customers, 8% for wastewater customers, and
6% for stormwater customers.
Staff attended the October 14 Council Work Session to discuss 2026 Rates and Fees prior to
bringing forward the following rate ordinances for adoption.
8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 181, 2025, Adopting the 2026 Classified Employee Pay Plan.
The purpose of this item is to recommend the 2026 Classified Employee Pay Plan. Classified jobs
are grouped according to job functions, a business practice commonly used by both the public
and private sectors. Pay ranges are developed by career group (management, professional,
administrative, operations and trades) and level for each job function. The result of this work is a
Classified Employee Pay Plan which sets the minimum, midpoint and maximum pay ranges for
the level within each career group and function. Actual employee pay increases are awarded
through a separate administrative process in accordance with the budgeted amount approved by
Council.
9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 182, 2025, Adopting the 2026 Larimer County Regional
Transportation Capital Expansion Fee Schedule.
The purpose of this item is to adopt the 2026 Larimer County Regional Transportation Capital
Expansion Fee Schedule.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 183, 2025, Amending Section 26-149 of the Code of the City
of Fort Collins Regarding Annual Water Allotments for Nonresidential Water Services with
Permits Issued Before March 1, 1984.
The purpose of this item is to seek approval for revising the methodology for how annual water
allotments for nonresidential customers with permits issued before March 1, 1984, are calculated
prior to applying excess water use surcharges (surcharges) for these customers on December 1,
2025. Annual water allotments (allotments) are a volume of water measured from December 1 to
November 30 each year.
Nonresidential customers that received a tap prior to March 1, 1984, were not initially assigned
an allotment, even after the City began assigning new nonresidential customers with allotments
on March 1, 1984. Per Ordinance 152, 2024, allotments were assigned to these customers on
December 1, 2024, using a hybrid methodology that assigned the greater of either the tap credit
or average annual water use (based on historical use from years 2019 through 2023). Surcharges
were not to be applied until December 1, 2025, allowing affected customers time to adjust water
use to their allotment, if needed. It also allowed time for customers to ask questions and provide
input to staff. After receiving and discussing feedback, staff is recommending revising the hybrid
methodology in City Code Section 26-149 (e) to assign allotments based on the greater of the tap
credit or average historical use increased by one-half of a standard deviation to account for
variability in weather, patronage, revolving tenants, or other factors.
11. Items Relating to E-Ticket and E-Crash Systems Projects Grant.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 184, 2025, Making Supplemental Appropriations and
Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations for the Colorado Department of Transportation E-Ticket
and E-Crash Systems Projects Grant.
City of Fort Collins Page 6 of 10
B. Resolution 2025-091 Approving an Exception to the Competitive Process for the Purchase of
an Enhanced E-Ticket and E-Crash System from Tyler Technologies.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $171,613 of unanticipated grant revenue from the
Colorado Department of Transportation’s Section 405C Grant Program and $45,737 from Police
Admin General Funds for the Enhancing E-Ticket and E-Crash Systems Project.
This item also requests an exception to the competitive bid process for the purchase of an
enhanced E-ticket and E-crash system from Tyler Technologies. Approval of this exception may
be used as authorized in City Code Section 8-161(d)(4) as the basis for the City Manager and the
Purchasing Agent to negotiate and agree to the additional purchase of Software as a Service
(SaaS) and related services from Tyler Technologies without further Council approval. This
additional work would be added to an existing contract and would expand on an existing system,
using compatible technology available from the current vendor.
Exception to Competitive Bidding Rationale: Code Section 8-161(d)(1)(c). A particular material or
service is required to maintain interchangeability or compatibility as part of an existing integrated
system.

Assistance Fund (EIAF) Grant funds through the Colorado Department of Local Affairs (DOLA)
for the Front Range Passenger Rail Planning Study.
The funds will be used to conduct a planning study for a proposed Front Range Passenger Rail
system in alignment with the Service Plan Development work being conducted by the Front Range
Passenger Rail District. If approved, the two resolutions and ordinance will: 1) authorize the City
Manager to execute an intergovernmental agreement for the planning study with the City of
Loveland, 2) authorize City staff to accept an intergovernmental grant agreement from the State
of Colorado Department of Local Affairs, and 3) appropriate $200,000 in EIAF grant funds,
$125,000 in City of Fort Collins match, and $75,000 in City of Loveland match for a total of
$400,000 to the project.
13. Resolution 2025-094 Approving Revised Fees for Fort Collins Police Services’ Criminal
Justice Records.
The purpose of this item is to request an increase in fees for criminal justice records for Police
Services. The current fee schedule has been in effect since 2017, and the proposed adjustments
are necessary to keep up with the change in technology and staff expenses. Pursuant to
C.R.S.Section 24-72-306(1), fees proposed by the criminal justice agency shall be established by
the governing body of the municipality.

of Fort Collins to Update the Capital Expansion Fees and the Transportation Expansion
Fees.
This Ordinance, adopted on First Reading on October 21, 2025, by 5-1 (Nay: Francis), proposes
revisions to the methodologies of calculating the capital expansion fees for updated fees that
are set in better alignment with City land use laws and policy, phasing in fee increases over a

adoption of the revised fees to be effective January 1, 2026:
1. Fees with continued, inflation-only adjustments (“Status Quo Option” or “Option #1”);
2. Fees as proposed September 9, 2025 (“Proposed Option” or “Option #2”);
3. Fees that are a phased-in implementation of the Proposed Option – two versions (“Phased-In
Option” or “Option #3”); and
4. Fees that are a fractional implementation of the Proposed Option – three versions (“Fractional
Option” or “Option #4”).
One additional change has been made to Ordinance No. 168, 2025, for Second Reading:
Recital “I” has been updated to provide Council determinations relating to the two-year
phase-in. In the clean copy of the second reading ordinance, recital “I.” is highlighted

Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Establishing a Three-Year Establishment Period
for Street Trees.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 174, 2025, Amending Article 5, Section 10 of the Land Use

access considerations, and to address this, language has been added to Section 3 of
Ordinance No. 174, 2025, limiting the use of a double row of street trees to only situations
where compatible with emergency access.
City of Fort Collins Page 9 of 10
