New hardware will be purchased and will create a LAN system providing faster and more reliable service to Lincoln Center customers. The replacement and upgrading of the Box Office system will give the Center the opportunity to network the PCS in the entire facility. A network within the Center would provide the basis for potential benefits which could include electronic marquee displays, public access, etc. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 18, 1995, appropriates $32,723 from the Cultural Services & Facilities Fund Unreserved Fund balance.

Second Reading of Ordinance No 100 1995 Vacating the Street Right -of -Way for Daemian ' Drive as Platted with the Indian Hills Village P.U.D. The Owner of the Indian Hills Village P.U.D. has requested that the City vacate right-of-way for Daemian Drive dedicated with the P.U.D. plat. Since the time the original plat was recorded, the Owner has received approval for a replat of the P.U.D. which includes the area originally dedicated as right-of-way for Daemian Drive. Before the replat can be recorded, it is necessary to vacate the right-of-way for Daemian Drive. The street has not been constructed and, due to the replat, it is no longer necessary to retain the right-of-way. All utility agencies and the Poudre Fire Authority have been notified of the right-of-way vacation request and report no objection. Ordinance No. 100, 1995, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 18, 1995. Easement15. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 101, 1995 Vacating Portions of Street Right -of -Way fo West Street Between Vine Drive and Arthur Ditch and Retainina a Portion of the Same fo Utility a n• It has been brought to the City's attention that the house at the southwest corner of Vine Drive and West Street (1037 West Vine Drive) is encroaching into the public right-of-way for West Street. The owner of the home has requested that the City vacate the platted street right-of- way from beneath the house to eliminate the encroachment. The nature of how the ' encroachment occurred is not known. Records show the house was constructed in 1894 and . the street right-of-way was platted in 1904. It is not known whether the house was moved to the site or originally constructed in its present location. In any case, the owner cannot obtain title insurance for the property due to the encroachment. The City's current standard right-of-way width for residential streets is 48 feet. The excess right-of-way is not necessary to accommodate the existing street and utilities. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the right-of-way width to eliminate the encroachment by vacating the excess right-of-way. All property owners adjacent to West Street between Vine Drive and Arthur's Ditch have been notified of the proposed vacation and report no objection. In addition, all utility agencies, the Poudre Fire Authority, and the Arthur's Ditch Irrigation Company have been notified of the request and report no objection. A portion of the street right-of-way on the west side is being retained as a utility easement for the existing water line. Ordinance No. 101, 1995, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on July 18. •- ` � '—U—` .- --' I_ of ..._ �WIMIMAM6 u• 14 237 August 1, 1995 ' In its 1995 legislative session, the Colorado General Assembly adopted Senate Bill 95-164 which amended provisions of C.R.S. 42-4-236 concerning the use of child restraint systems and seat belts in motor vehicles. Prior to these amendments, only drivers of privately owned noncommercial motor vehicles were required, with some exceptions, to provide a child restraint system for every child in the vehicle who was under four (4) years of age and weighing under forty (40) pounds. There was no seat belt requirement for any child in the vehicle over four (4) years of age unless the child was seated in the front seat of the vehicle. As a result of these amendments, all drivers of privately owned noncommercial motor vehicles and of motor vehicles operated by a child care center are now required, with some exceptions, to provide a child restraint system for every child in the vehicle under four (4) years of age and weighing under forty (40) pounds and a seat belt for every child in the vehicle who is at least four (4) years of age but less than sixteen (16) years of age or who is less than four (4) years of age and weighs forty (40) pounds or more, regardless of where they are seated in the motor vehicle. Currently, Sec. 20-18 of the City's Model Traffic Code sets forth the provisions of C.R.S. 42- 4-236 as they existed prior to these 1995 amendments. Consequently, if an individual is ' stopped by a Fort Collins police officer for speeding and it is discovered that any child in the vehicles is not in a required child restraint system or seat belt, the officer must now write the ticket for the child restraint violation into County Court and the speeding ticket into Municipal Court. In doing so, the officer is issuing "split tickets", where the defendant is required to appear on two separate dates in two separate courts. In amending Sec. 20-18 of the City's Model Traffic Code by adopting this Ordinance, both tickets could be written into Municipal Court. In addition, Police Services believes strongly in the aggressive enforcement of the child restraint and seat belt laws and feels that this is a matter of serious local concern. 17.

Resolution 95-109 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Snyder Annexation. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 106, 1995, Annexing Property Known as the Snyder Annexation. C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 107, 1995, Amending the Zoning District Mapex Contained in Chapter 20 of the Code and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the Snyder Annexation to the City of Fort Collins. This is a request to annex and zone approximately 4.01 acres located at the northeast corner of the intersection of West Vine Drive and North Shields Street. The zoning petition states , that the applicant requested that the entire property be zoned C, Commercial with a condition that the permitted uses be limited to gas stations and those uses permitted in the B-L, Limited Business Zoning District. However, the applicants have agreed to support the staff and Planning and Zoning Board recommendation that the northern 2.28 acres be zoned R-L, Low Density Residential (no P.U.D. condition) and that the southern 1.73 acres be zoned C, Commercial with a P.U.D. condition. The western .94 acres of the southern 1.73 acres is owned by Gallagher Oil Corporation and is the current location of the Gas -A -Mat gas and convenience store. The eastern .79 acres of the southern 1.73 acres is owned by Ben Snyder and is the current location of a building occupied by Apex Gutter Company and a mobile home. The northern 2.28 acres is owned by Rosemarie Snyder and is presently undeveloped, but the applicant plans to construct a single-family home on the site. The property is currently zoned C, Commercial in the County, which does allow each of the existing and proposed uses. However, the entire 4.01 acres has never been "subdivided" which must occur before the applicants can build a single-family home on the northern 2.28 acres. Since the property is located within the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area and is eligible for annexation to the City of Fort Collins, the County will not review a subdivision request for this property. The property must first be annexed into the City before City staff can review a subdivision request. All signage must be in compliance with the City Sign Code within five years of the date of annexation. All portable signage must be removed from the site within ten days after the date of annexation. 239 August 1, 1995 ' 19. First Reading of Ordinance No 108 1995 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Easement Agreement in Favor of the Colorado Department of Transportation. As part of the North College Bridge Project negotiations, CDOT sold Parks and Recreation a parcel adjacent to the northeast corner of the bridge to be used as open space. Prior to the City's purchase from CDOT, there was an existing easement on the property. CDOT did not retain this easement on the Warranty Deed. This easement is needed by CDOT for access and maintenance of a drainage pipe, highway slope and subjacent road support for the new North College Bridge. Parks and Recreation staff has reviewed this request and does not believe this easement will interfere with its use. 1 Reading of Ordinance No.19, 1995. Amending•• of •. Increase the Membership l of 1. •• •1 Board, At the May 30 adjourned meeting of the Council, Councilmember Will Smith requested that the membership of the Transportation Board be increased from 9 members to 11 members to address the increasing workload of the Board. This Ordinance will increase the membership of the Transportation Board from 9 members ' to 11 members. Applications were recently solicited for the Transportation Board and these additional seats on the Board could be appointed following Second Reading of this Ordinance on August 15, 1995. AgreementServices u The City of Fort Collins Water Utilities ("Utility") currently charges Symbios Logic Inc. ("SLI") for water service based on the rate schedule for non-residential customers, as established in Sec. 26-127 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins. Utility staff recently collected and analyzed water usage data for SLI. The analysis, which included developing estimates of maximum daily and hourly water usage, suggests that SLI should be assessed a lower volume charge. SLI exhibits significantly lower maximum daily and hourly service requirements than other non-residential customers with 3-inch meters. The proposed rate is based on actual water consumption patterns in accordance with the Utility's cost of service approach to determining rates. The Water Board reviewed this item at its July 21, 1995 meeting and voted to recommend that City Council authorize entering into a special water service agreement with SLI. ' 22. Resolution 95-110 Authorizing a One -Year Lease of City -Owned Propert,at 945 East Prospect Road- 240 August 1, 1995 The City purchased this house and lot as part of the Prospect/Lemay Choices '95 Intersection ' Improvement Project. This house will be affected by the right -turn lane that is to be added turning south on Lemay Avenue from Prospect Road. Construction of this right -turn lane has been delayed due to negotiations with the Texaco station on the corner. The owner of the Texaco station has considered redeveloping his property, and if that redevelopment occurs, the construction of the right turn lane can be accomplished at a more affordable price. Until the construction begins at this comer, staff believes it is better to rent the house and have the tenant responsible for maintenance and utilities. Staff does not expect this property to be needed for improvements to Prospect Road until early 1997 at the earliest. 23. Resolution 95-111 Authorizing Additional Vacation Days as Compensation for the Interim City Manager, The adoption of the Resolution would authorize five (5) additional days of paid vacation leave for Diane Jones, Interim City Manager. 24. • .n Making Appointmentsto the Art.

The National Biological Service is currently based in Fort Collins and employs about 150 people locally. The NBS works in cooperation with Colorado State University and makes a significant economic contribution to Larimer County and Fort Collins. The Resolution would encourage the Colorado Congressional delegation to support retaining the National Biological Service base in Fort Collins. ' 241 August 1, 1995 26. Routine Easements. A.

"Executive Summary On May 5-7, 1995, City Council held a retreat with the City Manager and Executive Lead Team to begin development of its 1995-97 Council Policy Agenda. Since that time, Council has also conducted three Study Sessions to develop and refine the Theme Areas and projects that will become part of the Agenda. As a part of this process, the Executive Lead Team has worked with department staff members to develop projects that will implement the policy direction provided by the Council. Approximately 50 projects in 7 Theme Areas are part of the proposed Policy Agenda. Staff is requesting that Council adopt the 1995-97 Council Policy Agenda that provides the framework for the policy program for the next two years. The proposed Agenda includes 7 theme areas in which staff will concentrate its efforts during the next two years. The Theme Areas include the following items: • Ensuring a Vital and Sustainable Local Economy ' • Integrated Planning far the Future of Our Community • Working with Other Governmental Agencies to Achieve Common Goals • Recognizing Youth as a Vital Part of the Community • Protecting our Long-term Financial Position • Building Deliberative Democracy • Promoting Affordable Housing The Executive Lead Team is currently preparing individual Project Sheets regarding each of the projects that will be used to implement the Policy Theme Areas. These Project Sheets will contain the "meat" of the Policy Agenda, and demonstrate the actions that will be taken to implement the Agenda, as well as timelines for their completion. The ELT plans to provide the fast edition of these Project Sheets to City Council within the next two weeks. These Project Sheets will be updated for City Council on a quarterly basis so that Council will be kept up-to-date on progress of all projects." Interim City Manager Jones stated preparation of this policy agenda document has been a joint effort between the Council and staff. She stated the foundation of the policy agenda work was the Council retreat held in May. The discussion and idea sharing set the themes and direction. The policy agenda is a framework for the policy items staff will be working on over the next two years and it represents the key and significant policy items that Council wants addressed over the two year 245 August 1, 1995 period. She reminded that the policy agenda does not preclude the identification of other policy matters that will arise and will be worked on. Council Policy Manager Ann Tumquist gave the staff presentation. She described the seven theme areas the Council policy agenda falls into and a total of 50 projects in the seven theme areas. The theme areas cover a wide range of issues and reflect the interests of Council. Councilmember McCluskey made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Apt, to adopt Resolution 95-113. Councilmember Janett spoke of the list of goals developed earlier and suggested they be included as a part of the policy agenda.

Ordinance No.102,1995, Authorizing a Rebate of Fees Associated with the Construction and Development of a New Building for Advanced Energy Industries, Inc., Adopted on Second Reading. The following is staff's memorandum on this item. ' 246 August 1, 1995 'Executive Summary In August 1994, City Council adopted Ordinance No.123, 1994 which amended Article VII Chapter 5 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins so as to permit the rebate of fees for the purpose of economic development. Prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 123, 1994, City Council had authorized a development fee waiver program for consideration on a case -by -case basis. The rebate modification was suggested by staff in order to further protect the City by linking the payment of an incentive to the performance of the company requesting the incentive. The last incentive offered to a basic industrial company was an approximate $70,000 development fee waiver extended to Summit Biotechnology in early 1993 in conjunction with the construction of its new facility located at the Center for Advanced Technology. That waiver has since been repaid to the General Fund through the collection of tax revenues from Summit. Ordinance No. 102, 1995, was adopted 5-0 (Councilmember Kneeland withdrew) as amended on First Reading on July 18, 1995, and authorizes a rebate of fees to Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. for construction and development of its new building." Councilmember Kneeland withdrew from the discussion and vote on this item. Councilmember Smith made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Wanner, to adopt Ordinance No. 102, 1995, on Second Reading. The vote was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Apt, Azari, I Janett, McCluskey, Smith and Wanner. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Janett spoke of the Linden Street ribbon cutting ceremony held at 3:30 p.m. today. She spoke of the thriving downtown and stated it is the envy of downtowns all over. Councilmember Janett made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Kneeland, to formally commend City staff and the contractor, Lawson Construction, for completing the Linden Street project on -time and under budget. The vote was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Apt, Azari, Janett, Kneeland, McCluskey Smith and Wanner. Nays: None. Councilmember Apt asked that special effort be made to get the policy agenda out to the public.
