Ordinance No. 144, 1991,
Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to
Enter into an Agreement for Financing
by Lease -Purchase of Vehicles and
Equipment, Adopted on First Reading
The following is staff's memorandum on this item.
"FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount to be lease -purchased is $810,900. Payments at the 6.6715%
interest rate will not exceed $230,O00 in 1992. Money for the 1992 lease -
purchase payments is appropriated in the 1992 Budget. The effect on the debt
position of the City will. be to raise it one-half of one percent to 12.1%.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1
Proposals were received on December 10, 1991, from ten firms to provide lease -
purchase financing for the City's current vehicle, equipment and cable
requirements. The proposal meeting all City requirements and offering the lowest
net effective interest rate of 6.6715% was received from the Public Finance Group
Inc.
All of the equipment to be 'replaced complies with the City's equipment
replacement policy. This lease-pu--hase financing is consistent with the '
99
1
December 17, 1991
financial policies of the City of Fort Collins, which provides for lease -
purchase financing for certain rolling stock and equipment. Lease -purchase
financing has been used successfully by the City since 1980.
BACKGROUND:
Vehicles, Equipment and Cable Requirements:
The replacement and acquisition of equipment and vehicles listed in this Agenda
Summary comply with the City's "Vehicle and Equipment Acquisition Policy," as
set forth in the Administrative Services Policies, and are in accordance with
the goal of optimizing City resources without impacting service to the community.
An "Equipment Request" justifying the replacement of each vehicle or piece of
equipment is on file with Equipment Services. The fleet manager has researched
each request, and has approved these requests based on current and projected
maintenance costs, fuel economy, downtime, and relevant safety factors. Each
department has also justified to the fleet manager all requests for new vehicles
or equipment.
The Information and Communications Systems Division has determined that in order
to continue to provide quality video production services in a timely manner to
internal customers, and to the community, additional equipment is necessary.
Several items in this lease -purchase package will be used by the cable
communications program.
All vehicle, equipment and cable equipment will be purchased following the City's
purchasing ordinances and procedures to ensure that the City realizes all cost
savings.
Lease -Purchase Financing:
The following information on the City's lease -purchase policy is from the City's
Financial and Management Policies:
"The City of Fort Collins uses lease -purchase financing for the provision of new
and replacement equipment, vehicles and rolling stock in order to ensure the
timely replacement of equipment and vehicles. This method may also be used to
acquire real property. Members of the management staff have developed an
equipment needs schedule for rolling stock which encompasses the demands of
operating departments. This schedule is used to project equipment needs for each
budget year.
The type of lease that the City uses is termed a conditional sales lease, in
effect a purchase rather than a rental of property. The City pays for the asset
in installments according to a fixed payment schedule. Each installment includes
principal and interest and the City builds equity and assumes risk in the asset
100
December 17, 1991
lease. The annual installments areappropriated b '
over the term of the 1eY the
Council each year.
Advantages of the lease -purchase financing over the traditional cash method of
financing are:
* Decreasing the impact of inflation on the purchase of new and
replacement equipment.
* Resolving the problem of capital replacement needs backlog.
* Conserving operating reserves.
* Reducing the initial impact of the cost to user. departments by
enabling acquisition costs to be spread over the useful life of the
equipment.
* Safeguarding the opportunity to use cash assets to earn higher
interest than the interest cost of lease -purchasing.
It should be noted that the City is able to discontinue the equipment leases at
its discretion so that future City Councils will have the option to continue or
discontinue the policy of lease -purchasing City equipment.
According to the State of Colorado House Bill 90-1164, local governments are '
required to identify as part of their budgets: 1) The total expenditures during
the ensuing fiscal year for all lease purchase agreements involving real and
personal property; 2) The total maximum payment liability under all lease
purchase agreements over the entire terms of the agreements, including all
optional renewal terms.
We recognize that the State does not include lease -purchase in the legal
definition of debt, however rating agencies include lease- purchase financing
in calculating the City's debt burden."
Vehicles, Equipment and Cable Equipment to be Purchased:
The proposed Ordinance authorizes the lease -purchase financing of the vehicles
and equipment:

Ordinance No. 142, 1991,
Amending Chapter 29 of the
Code of the City by the Addition
of Provisions Pertaining to Solar Orientation
For Residential Lots Adopted on Second Reading.
The following is staff's memorandum on this item.
"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Revision of the Land Development Guidance System with regard to solar orientation
is a City Council Goal for 1989-1991. Council has directed staff to examine
options for encouraging and/or requiring developers to consider in their plans
the orientation of lots and buildings to enable the lots and buildings to best '
receive solar radiation for energy conservation purposes. On May 7, 1991, the
Council adopted Resolution 491-72 which directed staff to develop new
requirements for solar orientation.
This Ordinance, which was adopted as amended by a 4-3 vote on First Reading on
December 3, adds a new solar orientation standard to the LDGS and Subdivision
regulations. There is a new density bonus incentive for planned unit
developments for developers who exceed the figure. Other recommended Code
changes include adopting definitions of a "solar oriented lot"; requiring that
developers provide solar oriented lot statistics on site plans and plats, and;
amending the criteria in the Subdivision Regulations to permit more flexibility
on the part of the Planning and Zoning Board in granting variances to the solar
regulations.
This Ordinance was amended on First Reading to require 65% of new single family
lots be "solar oriented". It was also amended to require an audit after 350 lots
receive preliminary approval. It
Councilmember Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Fromme, to adopt
Ordinance No. 142, 1991 on Second Reading.
Dan Jensen, President of Jensen Homes, urged defeat of the ordinance stating it
was not ethical for Council to legislate solar orientation.
105
December 17, 1991
Bruce Lockhart, 2500 E. Harmony Road, opposed the ordinance and disputed
Council's decision mandating solar orientation.
Bob Tueting, 916 Cheyenne Drive, stated he opposed the ordinance and said Council
should not impose its personal views on Fort Collins citizens.
Councilmember Edwards opposed the ordinance stating in the absence of a
comprehensive energy policy it would be presumptuous to mandate this type of
requirement.
The vote on Councilmember Horak's motion was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers
Fromme, Horak, Kirkpatrick and Winokur. Nays: Councilmembers Azari, Edwards
and Maxey.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Items Relating to the 1992 City of
Fort Collins Total Compensation Pay Plan, Adopted Option C
The following is staff's memorandum on this item.
"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 91-170 Reducing by 2.1% the Amount to be Expended in 1992 for
Personal Services.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 135, 1991, Adopting the 1992 City of Fort
Collins Total Compensation Pay Plan. (Options A, B and Q
On November 19, 1991, the City Council adopted the 1992 Budget and appropriated
funds for use in 1992 through the adoption of the Annual Appropriation Ordinance.
The appropriations adopted by the Council included funding for 1992 personal
services in accordance with the 1992 Financial and Management Policies adopted
by Resolution 91-138 on October 15, 1991.
The Total Compensation Pay Plan is designed to meet the City's goal as an
employer to attract and retain quality employees and also to recognize and reward
quality performance by establishing a goal of compensating employees who are
performing at the top of their range at the 70th percentile of the relevant labor
market. The Plan, if approved by the Council, would fix the salaries of the
City's classified employees, as required by Section 2-566 of the City Code. It
does not address the amount of compensation paid to the unclassified employees
of the City.
Ordinance No. 135, 1991, adopting the Plan for 1992, was approved by the Council
on First Reading by a 5-2 vote on,November 19. When the Ordinance adopting the
Plan was presented on Second Reading on December 3, two changes were approved
by the Council. First, the City Manager was directed to reduce the City's total
106
December 17, 1991
persona) services cost from 6.1% to 4%. Secondly, the effective date of the Plan
was changed from the second full pay period of February 1992 to the first full
pay period of January 1992. After the Ordinance was passed in its amended form,
the vote approving the Plan was reconsidered by the Council, and Ordinance No.
135 was tabled to this date for further consideration.
Resolution 91-170 is being presented to the Council at this meeting in response
to Council's direction to reduce personal services costs by 2.1%.
Three versions of Ordinance No. 135 are presented. Option A is the ordinance
as amended on second reading making the effective date of the Plan January 6,
1992. Option B would delay the implementation of the Total Compensation Pay Plan
until it can be reviewed in the context of a 2.1% personal services reduction.
Option C would implement the Total Compensation Pay Plan in February, 1992, as
originally proposed. The version to be adopted by Council would depend upon
whether the resolution approving a 2.1% reduction in personal services is
adopted.
If the resolution is adopted, staff recommends that Option B of the ordinance
be adopted. This would leave the 1991 Pay Plan in place pending further review
of the new Plan by the City Manager. The purpose of the review would be to
determine the extent to which the 2.1% reduction in personal costs should be
reflected in the Plan. When the Plan is returned to the Council, it would
include a provision to make its application retroactive. '
If the resolution is defeated by the Council, then staff recommends adoption of
Option C of the ordinance. This option changes the effective date of the Plan
back to February 17, 1992, and includes a provision which leaves the 1991 Plan
in place until that date. (Option C, rather than Option A, is the recommended
way of "reinstating" the Pay Plan as originally presented to Council; it not only
has the original effective date of February 17, but it also includes a provision
that leaves in place the 1991 Pay Plan until the 1992 Plan becomes effective.)"
City Manager Steve Burkett gave a presentation on this item outlining the
options.
Councilmember Fromme made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Horak, to adopt
Resolution 91-170.
Councilmember Fromme offered an amendment in the third WHEREAS paragraph after
the number "(4)" adding the following: "(5) unclassified employees."
Councilmember Horak accepted the amendment as a friendly amendment to the
original motion.
Cathy Everitt, representing the Commission on the Status of Women, expressed
concerns regarding employees at the lower end of the pay scale and urged Council
to defeat the resolution.
