$4,050,000. The proceeds of the issue will be used to cover project
construction costs, fund a debt service reserve, and cover the costs of
issuing the debt.
This Ordinance contains certain rules and regulations regarding the -..use of
the City's Cultural, Library, and Recreational Services facilities. Upon

' 11. Hearing and First Readinq of Ordinance No. 89, 1992. Authorizina the Sale
During May, June and July 1991, officers from Fort Collins Police
Services' Special Investigations Unit conducted an investigation
concerning the sale of a controlled substance by the primary resident of
the residence located at 420 N. Loomis. Three purchases of cocaine were
made at the residence, and additional purchases were made from the same
individual at other City locations. A search warrant was also executed at
the residence which produced drug paraphernalia and drug records.
Thereafter, the primary resident was charged with and convicted of four
felonies and is currently serving a six -year prison sentence.
In conjunction with the criminal investigation, the residence was declared
a class 1 public nuisance by the Larimer County District Court. As a
result, the primary resident's title interest in the residence was awarded
by the Court to the City of Fort Collins for the benefit of Fort Collins
Police Services. The City now owns a one-half (1/2) interest in the
residence. The primary resident's former husband owns the other one-half
(1/2) interest in the residence.
Fort Collins Police Services is now recommending that the City Council
' approve the sale of the residence to the Fort Collins Housing Authority.
In selling this residence, as proposed, the City's share of equity in the
residence will be donated to the Housing Authority. Police Services
believes that this is an appropriate disposition for this property in that
it serves the public purpose of providing additional low-cost housing to
the community.

This waiver request pertains to the Replat of Cameron Estates PUD, which
is a request to create 12 additional single family lots on a 3.9 acre
site. There is an existing residence on the site. The site is located at
the southeast corner of Country Club Road and Lake View Drive and is zoned
R- Residential. Of the four Urban Growth Area Phasing Criteria, the
proposed replat meets the requirements for public water capacity, public
sewer capacity and contiguity to existing development. A waiver is being
requested for the public street capacity requirement. The site is not
eligible for annexation.

Ordinance No. 87, 1992, Authorizing the
Issuance of Highway User Tax Revenue Bonds
for the Purpose of Acquiring Land and Constructing
a Street Maintenance Facility, Adopted on First Reading
The following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The estimated
revenue obligations
amount of the bond
payable from Highway
issue is $4,050,000. The bonds are special
User Tax revenue received from the State
'
of Colorado.
The total debt
service over the 20 year period will be
approximately
$6,850,000. The
interest rate on the transaction will be
approximately
6.1%. The bonds are
not general obligations of the City. The
bonds are not
payable in whole or
in part from the proceeds of general property
taxes, nor is
the full faith and
credit of the City pledged to pay the bonds.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On August 4, 1992, City Council passed Resolution Nos. 92-126 and 92-127,
directing staff to proceed with the acquisition of land located at 725 East Vine
Drive for a Streets Department facility, and to finance a portion of the total
development costs through debt financing. This Ordinance authorizes the issuance
of Highway User Tax Bonds to finance a portion of the project. The amount of the
issue will be approximately $4,050,000. The proceeds of the issue will be used
to cover project construction costs, fund a debt service reserve, and cover the
costs of issuing the debt.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past few years, several issues have developed which have underscored the
need to invest in a new facility for the Streets Department. These include
protecting the City's capital equipment, ensuring full -cost accounting for
Streets Department operations, and providing better customer service. In
' December 1990, City Council passed a resolution authorizing the City Manager to
39
August 18, 1992 '
complete the planning for a Streets facility, submit the project to the Planning
and Zoning Board for review, have an environmental audit of the property
conducted, involve the neighbors in planning the project, and detail the project
costs. After completing all of the requirements set forth in the resolution, the
City Manager was directed to return the project and proposed purchase of the
property to Council for further review and decision.
All of the requirements set forth in the December resolution have been fulfilled.
Consequently, on August 4, 1992, Council passed Resolution 92-126, authorizing
the purchase of land located at 725 East Vine Drive for a Streets Department
facility; and Resolution 92-127, authorizing City Staff to proceed with debt
financing for the development of the 725 East Vine Drive Streets Department
facility.
The estimated total cost of purchasing and developing the site is $8 million,
with Phase I costing $5.6 million. Phase I includes the renovation and necessary
construction of facilities for equipment and material storage, shop space, and
crew and administration area, as well as the site improvements needed to allow
the Streets Department to be fully operational for at least 20 years. The
remaining $2.4 million needed to complete Phase II is programmed for improvements
that would enhance the efficiency of operations. Ordinance No. , 1992 is for
debt financing a portion of Phase I. Items programmed for Phase II would be
developed on a pay-as-you-go basis.
The estimated project costs included: '
Phase I Phase II
Land Purchase $ 950,000
Site Improvements
and Landscaping 1,000,000 $ 840,000
Renovate & Construct
Paint Storage and
Wash Bays 160,000 490,000

40
Other 1.650.000 420.000 August 18, 1992
TOTAL $5,600,000 $2,400,000
Of the $5.6 million needed for Phase 1, $3.6 million wi11 be debt financed. The
remaining $2 million will come from Streets Department reserves that have been
set aside in a capital project account over the past several years.
Highway Users Tax Fund Bond Proceeds
Of the $5.6 million needed for Phase I improvements, $3.6 will come from the debt
financing. The total debt financing amount of $4,050,200 includes additional
monies to cover the cost of setting up the reserve fund and the costs of issuing
the bonds. The sources and uses of the bond proceeds are itemized below:
Sources of Funds
Par amount of Bonds Issued $4,035,000
Interest Earned on the Bonds from _
Date of Sale to Date of Closing 15,200
Total Sources $4,050,200

Interest Due on the Bonds from
Date of Sale to Date of Closing 15,200
Project Construction Account 3,600,000
Contingency 3,495
Total Uses $4,050,200
The Highway User Tax bonds are not a general obligation of the City. They will
be structured to be special revenue obligations. The City is precluded from
using monies from the collection of property tax as payments on the bonds.
The bond ordinance requires the application of all amounts of Highway User Tax
Revenues distributed to the City from the State. Monies will be used to pay
principal and interest on the bonds. Once the bond payment has been provided
for, then the City may use the remaining revenues for other Street Department
services."
' Councilmember Maxey made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Azari, to adopt
41
August 18, 1992 '
Ordinance No. 87, 1992 on First Reading.
Councilmember Winokur asked why a maximum net effective interest rate of 15% is
included in the ordinance.
Finance Director Alan Krcmarik replied including an interest rate the City won't
exceed is an industry convention.
Councilmember Winokur inquired about the underlying security for the bondholders.
Krcmarik replied the pledged revenues for this transaction are State Highway User
Tax Revenues placed in the Transportation Fund.
Councilmember Winokur inquired about recourse for the bondholders if the State
funds were not sufficient.
Krcmarik replied that other City monies, except funds from property tax, could
be appropriated.
Councilmember Winokur clarified the property is not the underlying security.
He asked about repercussions if the State funds were inadequate and the City
doesn't supplement to meet the debt service.
Krcmarik replied that staff would recommend using other resources to ensure the '
credit of the City wouldn't come into question.
Councilmember Winokur asked if consideration had been given to restructuring the
ordinance to include a backup pledge of sales and use tax revenue in order to get
a higher rating and lower interest rate.
Krcmarik replied that the bonds are rated A and a contingent pledge on the sales
tax would not be enough to get to the Al status. The rating committee suggested
restructuring the bonds to change the covenant to 2 to 1 coverage which might
increase the City's rating on this issue to Al.
Councilmember Winokur asked how much the rating agencies receive for review of
this issue.
Krcmarik replied about $6,500.
Councilmember Winokur inquired about structuring the issue with a sales and use
tax pledge and issuing the bonds as non -rated.
Krcmarik replied that a non -rated bond would cost $150,000-$180,000 more over the
life of the bond. He stated backing with sales tax might improve the rate; but
in order to sell the bonds by September 1, the structure needs to be set soon.
Mike Cavanaugh, Dain Bosworth, stated that the differential between an A -rated
Highway User Tax bond issue and a non -rated issue would be about $200,000 and, '
42
August 18, 1992
' because of market demand, delaying the transaction a couple of weeks could result
in loss of the small deferential between A and Al.
Krcmarik clarified that by pledging sales tax on the issue, the City would be
putting up something not necessary to obtain the same deal.
Councilmember Winokur supported the Ordinance.

Ordinance No. 87, 1992 on First
Azari, Edwards, Fromme, Horak,
Ordinance No. 88, 1992, Adopting Rules and Regulations
Governing the Use of City Cultural, Library, and
Recreational Services Facilities. Adopted on First Reading
The following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Ordinance contains certain rules and regulations regarding the use of the
' City's Cultural, Library, and Recreational Services facilities. Upon adoption,
such rules and regulations will apply to areas within the defined confines of the
facilities administered by the Director of Cultural, Library, and Recreational
Services (CLRS). The Ordinance provides that it is unlawful for any person to
knowingly violate any provision of such rules and regulations.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this Ordinance is to define rules and regulations to govern the
use and enjoyment of the following City facilities: Edora Pool Ice Center, Fort
Collins Community Pool, Northside Aztlan Community Center, Downtown Community
Center, City Park Center, Pottery Studio, Senior Center, Lincoln Center and
adjacent Sculpture Garden, Library, Museum, buildings and grounds of the City -
owned golf courses, as well as the fenced confines of City Park Pool, Rolland
Moore Racquet Complex, and the Farm at Lee Martinez Park.
Ordinance No. 62, 1988 (Attachment 1) addresses rules and regulations governing
the use of parks, open space, and trails. Ordinance No. 88, 1992 complements
that ordinance, providing general rules and regulations for the use and enjoyment
by the public of the facilities under the administration of the CLRS Director.
By delegation from the City Manager, the CLRS Director can then create reasonable
rules and regulations to address such issues as First Amendment activities to
prevent interference with the normal use of a facility by the public. Due to the
diversity of activities and events which occur in the CLRS facilities, these
rules would most likely vary from facility to facility. For example, petition-
143
August 18, 1992
signing at EPIC or at the golf courses would be limited to certain specified
areas within the confines of those facilities.
In informing the public of the rules, regulations, and orders which apply to CLRS
facilities in publicly -distributed materials, staff will notify the public not
only of the rules and regulations adopted by Council and the administrative
orders adopted by the CLRS Director, but also of other provisions of the City
Code which prohibit certain conduct, such as criminal mischief or posting
advertisements and signs improperly.
The proposed rules and regulations have been discussed by the Parks and
Recreation Board, the Cultural Resources Board, the Library Board, and the Senior
Advisory Board. The Parks and Recreation Board voted unanimously to support
adoption of these rules and regulations. The Senior Advisory Board agreed by
informal consensus to support the adoption of them. The Cultural Resources Board
and the Library Board were made aware of the Ordinance and had no major concerns
with its adoption. Due to the timing of board meetings, the Golf Board will be
reviewing these rules and regulations at its August meeting and its
recommendation will be included at the time of the Ordinance's second reading on
September 1, 1992."
Councilmember Azari made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Winokur, to adopt
Ordinance No. 88, 1992 on First Reading.
Bruce Lockhart, 2500 E. Harmony Road, expressed concerns about permits for I
gathering signatures.
Councilmember Fromme asked for further clarification on the permits.
Recreation Manager Jean Helburg explained the process for identifying areas where
certain activities will be allowed.
Assistant City Attorney Marty Heffernan clarified that prohibiting the gathering
of signatures based on content is unconstitutional.
Councilmember Horak spoke in favor of consistency in the rules and protection
of first amendment rights.
The vote on Councilmember Azari's motion to adopt Ordinance No. 88, 1992 was as
follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Azari, Edwards, Fromme, Horak, Kirkpatrick, Maxey,

be provided current information.
Councilmember Azari reported there have been 70 applications for the Diversity
Task Force and each applicant will be interviewed. She stated the
recommendations will be made on September 2 and forwarded to the originators of
the Task Force.
Public Hearing and Resolution 92-130 Approving the
Americans with Disabilities Act Transition Plans for Facilities,
Trans it/Paratransit. and Employment. Hearing Held and Resolution Adopted
The following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"FINANCIAL IMPACT:
' This Resolution provides policy guidance for Council and City staff for
determining appropriate use of resources for compliance to the ADA regulations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The ADA Transition Plans are required of the City to delineate the steps it will
take to ensure it is not discriminating against persons with disabilities. Two
key points of the Act are:
1. under the ADA, responsibility for accommodating persons with
disabilities is placed on the service provider; and,
2. no funds are provided for meeting the ADA requirements, although the
Act and regulations do recognize the substantial costs which may be
associated with some aspect of the ADA.
With these points in mind, the ADA does provide phase -in periods for each
transition plan - Facilities has three (3) years and Transit has five (5) years.
This phasing provides flexibility for planning. As an example, the Transit
Transition Plan has to be resubmitted each year until ADA compliance is attained.
Each plan can be changed to meet the current priorities and resources. Approving
these transition plans does not prevent the City from changing future plans.
45
BACKGROUND:
August 18, 1992 '
The ADA is a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination against
individuals with disabilities. The ADA prohibits the City from excluding persons
with disabilities from participating in or denying them the benefits of the
City's services, programs, or activities. The Act became effective on January
26, 1992.
A person is disabled under the ADA if they have an impairment which substantially
limits a major life activity. Major life activities include speaking, hearing,
seeing, breathing, caring for oneself, learning, working, or performing manual
tasks. A physical impairment is defined as any physiological disorder or
condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or more body
systems. Mental impairment is defined as any mental or psychological disorder,
emotional or mental illness and learning disabilities.
The ADA, in addition to its general prohibition against discrimination on the
basis of disability, requires the City to do the following:
A. Self -Evaluation. The City must conduct a comprehensive self -
evaluation of its current services, policies, and practices to
determine whether or not they meet the requirements of the Act.
This evaluation must include:
1. Public transportation; '
2. City facilities;
3. City program and services (including communications);
and
4. City employment practices.
B. Transition Plan. The City must develop a transition plan for its
facilities (buildings, walkways/curbs, parking), and transit
services that delineates the steps the City will take to ensure it
is not discriminating against persons with disabilities.
C. Notice. The ADA requires the City to disseminate sufficient
information to inform interested persons of the rights and
protection afforded by the ADA.
D. Grievance Procedure. The ADA requires the City to establish
grievance procedures for resolving complaints regarding alleged
violations by the City of the ADA.
E. Responsible Individuals. The ADA requires the City to designate at
least one (1) employee to coordinate its efforts to comply with the
requirements of the Act and to investigate any complaints of
discrimination on the basis of disability.
The City has until January 26, 1993 to complete its employment and
program/communication self -evaluations. The transition plans for facilities and '
46
August 18, 1992
transit were due July 26, 1992. The plans were scheduled for the July 21 Council
meeting, but were delayed until the August 18th meeting in order to get
additional input from the Commission on Disabilities.
The General Services Department has been working closely with the Commission on
Disabilities evaluating the City's buildings and transit/paratransit service for
compliance with ADA requirements. The attached transition plans are the result
of many committee meetings and two (2) public meetings, and they represent the
recommendation from the Commission and staff to bring the City into compliance
with the ADA.
TRANSITION PLANS
1. TRANSIT/PARATRANSIT. This plan is the most detailed because the
requirements For submission were written by the Department of Transportation
following the same format used for Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
and they are very complex. The ADA requirements state transit service to the
community must be equally accessible to persons with disabilities. If the
transit system is not fully accessible, or a disabled individual cannot use the
system, the fixed route provider must offer paratransit service. This is the
single biggest change from the "504" requirements - the City is fully
responsible, as the fixed route operator, for providing transportation in the
Fort Collins urban area for qualified disabled individuals.
' The plan is phased over five (5) years to achieve full compliance. The initial
phase is most critical because it identifies the importance of working with Care -
A -Van and its funding sources to establish levels of support and confirmation of
service priorities to the disabled. These discussions will help generate the
solutions on "how" transportation will be provided for the disabled, "who" will
provide it, and "how much" it will cost.
The three (3) most significant issues with the transit/paratransit transition
plan are:
A. FARES - should fares be charged to the user's of Care -A -Van?
Currently, Care -A -Van takes donations, but does not charge fares. If fares were
charged, some of the funding requests may be reduced. The difficulties with
fares are some of Care -A -Van funding sources do not permit fares, many of the
riders are low income, and additional expenses would be incurred for equipment
to collect the money. This will be one of the first items in the transition plan
to be determined, and it is expected to be controversial.
B. ADA PARATRANSIT ELIGIBLE - the Act states in order to be eligible to
ride paratransit you must have a disability and you must not be able to ride the
fixed route bus. Under past and current contracts with Care -A -Van, individuals
with disabilities and those 60 years old and older (non -disabled) can utilize
Care -A -Van, and the Commission on Disabilities is recommending the criteria stay
the same. However, if the City cannot meet service demands, the ADA gives the
' disabled priority over those 60+ (non -disabled). This may be a problem now, but
47
August 18, 1992
there is not enough data available to accurately assess the magnitude of the '
problem. Staff will work with Care -A -Van and its funding sources to quantify the
situation. If this is a problem, one solution is to increase Care-A-Van's
service, and that scenario is projected in the transition plan's budget.
C. HOURS AND DAYS OF SERVICE - many requests have been made to increase
the service of Transfort, and if the fixed route service is increased, the Act
requires paratransit service to increase. These service increases are part of
the Transit development Program (TOP). The decision on the level of transit
service to provide for the City is part of the Transportation Plan and needs to
be considered with all the other transportation needs.
For 1993, Transfort will need an additional $17,000 to comply with the Act. This
includes costs for bus stop improvements, specialized training, and production
of bus schedules and other literature for the disabled. In addition, $55,000 may
be needed if it is determined the Act requires an increase in paratransit. This
should be known by October.
2. FACILITIES
A. BUILDINGS. The transition plan for the buildings calls for the City
to work with a committee representing the interests of the disabled to survey the
public/program areas of City buildings for the purpose of identifying
deficiencies relating to program accessibility. The staff and Committee will
prioritize and estimate costs of the deficiencies and recommend a plan to the
Council to correct the deficiencies. There were 109 buildings surveyed and
deficiencies were noted. Because of the large number of buildings, this plan had
to be phased. The Committee categorized the 109 buildings into a level of
importance - high, medium, and low. Criteria for this classification was based
on a) amount of public use, b) necessity of use, and c) disabled employee(s) at
the building(s). The Committee further prioritized the deficiencies as they
related to parking and exterior route to the building, entrance, program area and
interior route to those program areas, restrooms, miscellaneous (drinking
fountains, pay telephones), and stairs. From this rating the phases were formed:
Phase 1 - primarily high priority buildings; and Phase 2 - the remainder of the
high priority buildings and the medium and low priority buildings. Phase I is
projected to be completed by September and Phase 2 by April 1993.
B. PARKING SERVICES. The plan is to review the off-street public
parking facilities in downtown, make the changes required in each lot, and
prepare an accessible downtown public parking map. Parking has completed the
review and the changes will be made by August 1993. Funding for the changes will
be from Parking's operating budget.
C. STREETS AND WALKS. Engineering wi71 complete an inventory for making
all public streets and walks accessible, with the associated cost estimates, by
the summer of 1993. Engineering will also prioritize needs and research
alternatives by January 1994 and identify annual improvement needs and funding
by the spring of 1994. Engineering has been focusing on correcting these '
48
August 18, 1992
' deficiencies since 1985 and has budgeted $20,000 annually to provide barrier -free
access at pedestrian street crossings and public walkways.
3. EMPLOYMENT. Employee Development initiated a plan in November 1991 for the
City to comply with the requirements of ADA. The basic plan is to educate all
the City departments to the ADA requirements regarding employment policies and
practices. Each department will be responsible for implementing the necessary
changes. The Act does not require a transition plan for employment, but Employee
Development completed a plan because it is very helpful in assisting each
department in completing its program self -evaluations."
Councilmember Winokur made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Azari, to adopt

Resolution 92-131 Adopting a Financial and Management
Policy Regarding Human Resource Management and
The following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Financial and Management Policies are used to establish guidelines for the 1993
Annual Budget and long range financial plans. The Human Resource Management and
Productivity Policies represent the final policy which remains to be adopted for
the 1993 Budget process.
BACKGROUND• 7.
At the July 7, 1992 City Council meeting, Council reviewed the Total Compensation
Financial Policy as a part of the adoption of the Financial Policies which were
to be used for the 1993 Budget process. At that time, Council expressed a number
of concerns regarding the policy and other human resource management issues. At
the Council meeting and in subsequent discussions with Councilmembers, the
following issues were raised:
1. Sick leave: There is continuing concern about the fact that sick leave is
not included in the surveys which determine the compensation adjustments
under the Total Compensation policy. Though no method of providing a
standard comparison between the benefits provided by other employers and
the City has been found in the past, there continues to be concern on the
part of Council about this issue.
2. Market Survey: Concerns were raised about the survey instrument which is
used to collect the data. Concerns were specifically around the extent of
local private sector data available through the Longmont Survey.
3. Effectiveness of the 70th Percentile: Questions were raised about whether
the 70th Percentile is the appropriate target for the Total Compensation
51
August 18, 1992
policy. What are the performance indicators which prove that the 70th '
percentile is the correct target level?
Employee Performance: What data would show that employees are performing
at a level which warrants compensation being set above the median of the
market place? How does employee performance compare to that in other
organizations? How could the employees demonstrate additional value added
to the community through activities such as volunteerism?
Contingency Work Force: The City employs a large number of employees on
an hourly, as -needed basis for work in the parks and recreation
departments, at the Lincoln Center, on construction and maintenance crews
and in special, short term projects. How does the City's pay philosophy
apply to this hourly, seasonal and contingency work force?
Human Resource Management and Productivity Policies: Questions were
raised about whether the Total Compensation Policy could be made into a
portion of a larger policy which addresses the productivity and customer
service expectations which the City has for its employees. Such a policy
should measure the quality and quantity of services provided, and be
understandable to the community in terms of its values and goals for city
services.
In order to address these issues, staff has developed the attached work plan
(Attachment 1) and presents a resolution adopting Human Resource Management and '
Productivity Policies (Exhibit A). The financial policy is intended to provide
a framework within which staff can work to develop a comprehensive Human
Resources and Productivity program within the City. Such a program would be a
combination of many of the current management practices, but would also give a
context in which the many human resource, productivity and quality practices can
be considered.
Before implementing any of the administrative changes proposed in the short-term
portion of the work plan, significant work must be done with employees to develop
a specific action plan to meet the goals set out by the work plan. Employee
involvement in both the short-term and long-term portions of the plan must be
taken into account regarding the specific alternatives which will be considered
and implemented.
Staff is currently working on finalizing alternatives for employees to review
regarding the planned changes in the medical insurance portion of the total
compensation package for 1993. Staff plans to begin working with employees on
September 1 regarding these changes. With this deadline in mind, staff asks that
Council adopted the attached resolution at the August 18, 1992 meeting."
Councilmember Azari made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Edwards, to adopt
Resolution 92-131.
52
A
August 18, 1992
Employee Development Director Jaime Mares outlined the changes to the policy made
in response to Council concerns.
Councilmember Maxey questioned the salary survey in relation to the relevant
labor market.
Mares replied the goal is to survey the local, private labor market on certain
applicable positions.
Councilmember Winokur asked where the pool of applicants for the recent
firefighter positions was drawn from.
Mares replied that applicants came from across the country.
Councilmember Winokur asked how 70th percentile compared with median + 3 +
benefits.
City Manager Burkett stated the significant difference is the inclusion of total
compensation.
Councilmember Horak asked about the dollar difference between the 70th and 50th
percentile.
Mares replied the difference is close to $900,000 city-wide each year.
Councilmember Horak asked about the criteria used for comparison purposes.
Mares replied the criteria are location in northern Colorado and municipalities
of equal size and service. He stated that in one year there will be a
significant difference in number of private sector companies used in the survey.
Mayor Kirkpatrick asked about the effect of where the City advertises.
Mares replied that the intent is not to advertise outside Colorado.
Mayor Kirkpatrick asked about the level of participation in the salary survey by
private sector companies.
Mares replied the response from private sector companies is not enthusiastic
because completing the in-depth survey is time-consuming and the City is a
competitor for employees. He stated that the Mountain States Employers Council
survey does not go into as much depth but will provide information on salary
alone.
Councilmember Fromme asked if 600 applicants for a firefighter job is common in
other cities in the country.
Mares stated 200-600 applicants are common for police officer and firefighter
' jobs in Loveland, Greeley, or Longmont.
53
August 18, 1992
Councilmember Fromme asked if that number was common for other positions in other
cities.
Mares replied that it was common since cities are seen as good employers.
Councilmember Fromme asked about employee satisfaction after reaching the 70th
percentile.
Burkett stated that compensation is only one part of job satisfaction.
Councilmember Fromme asked about salary increases in relation to performance.
Mares stated that employees receive annual evaluations and the salary system is
performance based.
Councilmember Fromme asked about the 65% of employees who are at the top of their
salary range.
Mares stated that in some cases, employee salaries have gone down based on
performance evaluations.
Councilmember Winokur
added that layoffs
and early retirement in private
companies don't affect
salaries reported in
surveys and that the perceived job
security in government
is an intangible benefit.
Evelyn Clark, a 20-year
resident of Fort
Collins, spoke of her concerns on
I
secretarial salaries,
the salary survey and
employee benefits.
Ray Martinez, representing the Fort Collins Police Association, recommended
relying on Personnel Board expertise and paying at the 70th percentile.
Councilmember Azari supported efforts to address Council concerns through a human
resource management and productivity policy and supported above -average
compensation for a quality work force.
Councilmember Maxey supported further refinement of the present program with
better explanation of comparisons.
Councilmember Edwards supported the motion and maintenance of the status quo.
Councilmember Fromme complimented City employees on performance, but spoke of her
questions on insurance, sick leave and the definition of relevant labor market.
Councilmember Horak supported paying the minimum amount to get the best employees
possible and complained about the lack of comprehensive data and tracking on the
compensation levels.
54
August 18, 1992
Mayor Kirkpatrick stated that the City has gone from a pay policy to a
compensation policy tied to performance measures and outcomes and supported fair
pay -

Councilmembers Fromme, Horak and Winokur.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Resolution 92-132 Establishing Direction for
The following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Resolution provides policy guidance to City staff for the use of City
resources.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Energy Policy
resolution that it
team is submitting for Councils review and adoption a
believes will accomplish the Council work plan item titled
'
"consider adoption
of a Comprehensive Energy Policy"
Based on information and
input from Councilmembers, boards and commissions and
staff, the Energy Policy
Team believes this
resolution meets Council's needs
and expectations. This
concludes a process
that began in the fall of 1991.
Council previously received and reviewed the report dated December, 1991,
explaining the current policy and tabulating the City's current efforts related
to energy efficiency. Although the original project scope required the task
force to identify specific targets for future energy improvements, the subject
was found to be extremely broad with numerous subtopics. Thus, it was difficult
to identify three or four measurable outcomes that would cover the full range of
a comprehensive energy policy.
With help from boards and commissions and Council, a resolution was structured
that first, formalizes broad policy guidance in three major City
responsibilities: as a user of energy; as a supplier of electrical energy; and
as a community leader through its role as educator, promoter and regulator.
Secondly, the resolution directs "comprehensive energy thinking" by asking the
City organization and boards and commissions to use this policy to guide
development of annual work plans. It also provides direction for operational
decisions. For example, this policy clearly encourages experimentation with
alternative fuel vehicles, even if there may be an additional front end cost.
The policy requires the development of specific, measurable projects with
' accompanying implementation plans on a yearly basis. It also requires periodic
55
August 18, 1992
reporting on energy efficiency as part of the Environmental Report to the '
Community.
REVIEW BY BOARDS & COMMISSIONS:
In addition to review by the City organization, this policy has been discussed
by advisory boards and commissions including the Air Quality Task Force, the
Planning and Zoning Board, the Electric Board, the Natural Resources Board, and
the Building Review Board. Suggestions for improvement have been incorporated
into the policy resolution.
Electric Board
The Electric Board reviewed the draft policy on July 15, 1992 (minutes attached).
"The Electric Board appreciates Council's consideration of an Energy Policy and
feels that such a policy is helpful to the Board. The Board feels that we can
work with staff in developing annual goals consistent with the policy, with two
suggestions:
1. Section 1. a): In developing strategies, cost-effectiveness
should be considered.
2. Section 2, c): Wording should be changed to "seriously evaluate
reduction of fossil fuels, but not necessarily
mandate reduction of fossil fuels." ,
The Electric Board was concerned that the policy might erroneously be interpreted
to favor hydro or nuclear power over coal for electricity generation.
These changes were made in the proposed resolution.
Building Review Board
The Building Review Board discussed the Energy Policy resolution at its meeting
on May 28. Boardmembers had no major issues with the language in the resolution.
Air Quality Task Force
The Air Quality Task Force reviewed the draft policy on May 13, 1992 (minutes
attached). "The Task Force is pleased that Council is considering an energy
policy, and they support it as a positive forward step." The Task Force believes
a citizen advisory board should be given the assignment to work on energy issues
on a continuing basis. In Section 2, the phrase attempt to should be deleted to
read "that future work plans shall identify specific measurable objectives
whenever possible."
The recommended wording change was incorporated into the proposed resolution.
The proposed resolution directs several Boards and Commissions to work on energy
issues on a continuing basis, as energy efficiency overlaps their ongoing areas '
56
' of concern or expertise. August 18, 1992
The Task Force also suggested several specific actions: as energy user, reduce
the amount of street lighting; as energy supplier, use the most efficient
methods of energy production and consider using alternative sources like solar
and wind energy; as community leader, consider taxing energy use.
Staff will consider these suggestions and seek further input from Boards and
Commissions as we develop future work plans.
Natural Resources Advisory Board
The Natural Resources Advisory Board reviewed the proposed policy on May 6 and
August 5 (minutes attached). The Board had a vigorous discussion about the
merits of the proposed resolution. On August 5, the Board voted 6-1 to recommend
that Council adopt the proposed resolution if the title is changed to read as
follows, "Resolution Establishing Guidelines for a Comprehensive Energy Policy
for the City of Fort Collins." This proposal reflected the Board's opinion that
the proposed policy did not go far enough in setting measurable objectives, or
in requiring specific actions to be taken by the City.
The Board also expressed concern about ensuring accountability for implementing
the proposed policies. They recommended that either a staff team or a citizen's
advisory board be assigned responsibility for ongoing implementation.
' In response to the Board's comments, the staff team proposed changing the title
of the policy to "Resolution Establishing Direction for Energy Efficiency
Activities by the City of Fort Collins." This title accurately reflects the
intent of the policy. To address the question of accountability and oversight,
a new Section 4 was added to direct staff to include a section on energy
efficiency in the Community Environmental Report. Finally, staff plans to form
an interdepartmental guidance team to ensure coordinated implementation of the
policies.
Plannino and Zonino Board
The Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the policy at a worksession and comments
from members were supportive of the current direction of establishing annual,
measurable, work plans.
POLICY IMPACT 6 IMPLICATIONS:
Staff has incorporated energy efficiency into several already -planned work items
for 1992 and 1993. There are several opportunities for "comprehensive energy
thinking" identified. Examples of these opportunities include:
Review, revision and adoption of the Model Energy Code as part of
the update to the Uniform Building Code;
' 0 Integration of energy aspects into the Framework for Environmental
57
August 18, 1992
Action. This integration will provide for an annual energy audit of '
City departments. Energy information and measurement data will be
included in the Community Environmental Report. Suitable energy
indicators will be developed and measured to assist City departments
in designing work programs and to track community progress on energy
efficiency.
0 An update of energy credit criteria of the Land Development Guidance
system was completed this year.
0 Review of LOGS policy assumptions will include checking whether
energy incentives have been effective. The review will also cover
assumptions regarding mixed -use and higher -density development, both
issues which have indirect energy implications.
0 A brochure describing the Solar Orientation Ordinance, with tips for
solar energy users will be published.
0 Further implementation of the Alternative Fuels Program for City
vehicles.
0 Explore options for a program which promotes air pollution reduction
and energy efficiency through lighting fixture retrofit.
To ensure coordinated implementation of the proposed policy, staff proposes to ,
form an Energy Guidance Team, similar to the existing Transportation Guidance
Team and River and Open Lands Guidance Team. The Energy Guidance Team will
include representatives from key departments whose missions affect energy
efficiency and energy planning."
Councilmember Fromme made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Edwards, to adopt
Resolution 92-132.
Director of Utility Services Rich Shannon made a presentation on this item.
Bruce Lockhart, 2500 E. Harmony Road, spoke of his concern about the language
contained in the Resolution and whether energy conservation concerns are valid.
Councilmember Horak spoke in favor of integration between the Energy Guidance
Team and affected boards.
Councilmember Azari supported the Resolution and an integrated approach with all
elements of the City.
Councilmember Fromme supported the Resolution but expressed disappointment that
it did not contain an overall framework plan with goals and objectives and an
annual review.
Councilmember Winokur supported the Resolution as a beginning. '
58
August 18, 1992
' Mayor Kirkpatrick spoke in favor of this item as a reasonable start toward a more
comprehensive energy policy.
The vote on Councilmember Fromme's motion to adopt Resolution 92-132 was as
follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Azari, Edwards, Fromme, Horak, Kirkpatrick, Maxey,
and Winokur. Nays: None.

Councilmember Winokur suggested that, due to the lateness of the hour, some of
the remaining items be postponed for consideration to the next meeting.
Councilmember Edwards noted he would not be able to attend a meeting the
following week.
Resolution 92-133 Adopting a Human Services
Policy for the City of Fort Collins, Adopted
The following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Resolution provides policy guidance to City Council and City staff for
■ determining the appropriate use of City resources for the provision of human
services.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
City Council adopted, as part of its 1991-93 work plan, a goal to strengthen the
community commitment to human services by developing a comprehensive policy
statement to define the City's role and responsibilities with respect to human
and social services in the City.
A team, comprised of representatives from various City departments currently
involved in administering City programs that fall within the realm of human
services, was formed to work on the policy. The Human Services Policy Team's
previous communications with City Council on this subject include a Human
Services Report presenting a comprehensive picture of the City's current
involvement in the provision of human services including a "de facto" policy, and
a draft policy which was presented to City Council at a work session in May.
Additionally, the community, local human service agencies and City boards and
commissions were involved in a citizen participation process during the
development of this policy.
The general policy statement maintains that the City of Fort Collins desires to
continue its development as a city where all of the people of the community will
have an opportunity to live in a safe and healthy environment. This environment
' includes the provision of essential and diverse public services to safeguard the
59
August 18, 1992
community's human resources. The City of Fort Collins considers meeting the '
basic human needs of families and individual citizens as part of its purpose and
therefore declares that is does have an appropriate role in the provision of
human. services to the citizens of Fort Collins. The City will from time to time
undertake actions to safeguard the community's human resources by identifying and
supporting those human services which confer a direct benefit of reasonably
general character upon a significant segment of the City's population.
Policy Impact and Implications
Simply put, local government is often the easiest point of contact for citizens
in need and, without argument, there are human service needs in the Fort Collins
community. Although some citizens and government managers do not consider human
services to be a core function of government, like police and fire protection,
the importance of a more comprehensive safeguarding of the community's human
resources drives local government to consider the basic human needs of families
and individuals as part of its obligation to provide essential public services.
Opportunities for the City to engage in human service leadership continue to
emerge because local government is the focal point of action on many issues and
problems. When pressing human concerns affect a piece of the community, those
who want action often turn to the City for a solution. In the past, federal
block grants and other funding mechanisms have afforded the City an opportunity
to approach human services more comprehensively. The City is also involved in
human services in an indirect manner, such as using governance powers to assist '
a population in need or otherwise help people.
Traditionally state and federal leadership and resources were the predominant
sources of sponsorship of major programs in human and social services and
typically these units of government or private agencies provide these services.
People who need human services often look to the City when they have unmet needs.
The development of a Human Services Policy represents a recognition of this
leadership role and a paradigm shift with respect to the City's involvement in
human services.
The policy provides guidance to the community, City Council and City staff for
determining the appropriate use of City resources for the provision of human
services. For example, the policy provides, but is not limited to, the following
criteria for reviewing programs and services:
o does the service or program address a basic human need,
o is the need demonstrated using data,
o does it focus on prevention versus intervention,
o has it been reviewed by the appropriate City board or commission,
and/or
60 '
r.
August 18, 1992
' o can existing City or community assets be utilized.
The policy also directs City staff to develop measurement criteria to determine
policy effectiveness. For example,
o periodically the Human Services Report can be updated to provide a
"snapshot" in time of the status of City programs related to human
services,
o community quality of life indicators can be developed as a subset of
Fort Collins Trends.
The City can use data and criteria to evaluate existing human service programs
and other basic City services to determine opportunities for improvement, as well
as to review proposed new programs. The opportunities to initiate improvements
include: the budget process, City Council workplan development, department policy
development, and boards and commissions workplan development.
Additionally the policy advocates that the City react to the transportation needs
of the community, incorporate human service needs when the City does facilities
planning, and establish or strengthen relationships with other human service
providers."
' Councilmember Fromme made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Winokur, to adopt
Resolution 92-133.
Assistant to the Director of Administrative Services Debra Kaestner explained the
process used to develop the human services policy and gave an overview on the
policy.

Agency Directors, expressed concerns about responsibility for implementation of
the policy and the current basic human needs which need to be met.
Gary Karnes, Chair of the Human Resource Grant Committee, thanked the Council for
considering the policy.
Marge Walsh, Director of Care -A -Van, complimented the results of the partnership
between the City and Care -A -Van, a private non-profit agency.
