Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"On July 6, 1979, bids for the Depository Contract of the
City of Fort Collins were opened. First National Bank and
the United Bank of Fort Collins submitted bids.
Both the First National Bank and the United Bank of Fort Cdl-
lins will provide the requested services at no charge. Both
banks offered additional services at no charges. An evalua-
tion of the additional services offered has shown no measurable
differences upon which the depository contract can be awarded.
In addition to the proposal evaluation, the banks were evalu-
ated using the following criteria and found to be equally
capable:
(1) The ability, capacity and skill of the bidder to per-
form the contract or provide the services required.
(2) Whether the bidder can perform the contract or provide
the service promptly and within the time specified
without delay or interference.
(3) The character, integrity, reputation, judgment, ex-
perience and efficiency of the bidder.
(4) The quality of performance of previous contracts or
services.
(5) The previous and existing compliance by the bidder
with laws and ordinances relating to the contract
or service.
(6) The sufficiency of the financial resources and ability
of the bidder to perform the contract or provide the
service.
(7) The quality, availability and adaptability of the
product, supplies, or contractural services to the
particular use required.

August 7, 1979
(8) The ability of the bidder to provide future main-
tenance and service for the use of the subject of

(9) The number and scope of conditions attached to the
bid.
Section 2-58, H of the Code states that when 2 or more bids
are received for the same total amount or unit price, the low
bidder shall be determined by drawing lots in public."
Mayor Bowling requested these bids be submitted to the Council

Golf Fee Surcharge for 1979 Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"At the July 31 work session the Golf Board made a recom-
mendation not to add a surcharge to golf fees for 1979 but
to increase green fees in 1980.
Council requested that at this meeting they take action to
immediately institute a surcharge for those who do not
currently have a golf membership but pay green fees only.
Based on 1978 records of play for the months of August-De-
cembbr, revenues received from surcharge on green fees for
both golf courses would be as follows for the remainder of
1979:
9 hole rounds - 6,958 x 25� _ $1,739.50
18 hole rounds - 4,469 x 50Q = 2,234.50
TOTAL = $3,974.00
If all estimated rounds were assessed 25Q only, the total
amount would be $2,856.75."
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Reeves, to approve the Golf Fee Surcharge for 1979, at 25¢
for nine holes and 50¢ for 18 holes, for those not having
membership fees and that the funds be earmarked for new
construction. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Kross,
Reeves, St. Croix and Wilkinson. Nays: Councilman Wilmarth.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Resolution Changing the Name of a
Portion of Mason Street to McClelland Drive
Tabled for Two Weeks
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The new Mason Street adjacent to the C & S railroad tracks,
was recently completed and now provides a connection between
Drake and Horsetooth Roads. The city presently has a second
Mason Street which is located north of Horsetooth Road to
Monroe Drive, approximately one block to the east of the
newly constructed Mason Street. This duplication of street
names is causing some problems for emergency vehicles and
services.
It is the staff's recommendation to change the name of the
two block portion of Old Mason Street to McClelland Drive
-36-
August 7, 1979
to correspond with McClelland Drive south of Horsetooth
Road. McClelland Drive will, in the future, connect Horse -
tooth and Harmony Roads."
Chief Planner, Curt Smith, identified the area in question.
Mr. John Archer, 3500 South Mason, expressed concern that
there are no parties presently affected on either the pro-
posed McClelland Drive, south of Horsetooth, nor the new
Mason Street by the railroad tracks. However, in the pro-
posed area to be changed, there are numerous businesses
that will increase added expense in changing stationery
business cards, and their advertising.
Mr. Ed Eckland, owner at 3524 South Mason, also spoke in
opposition to the renaming.
Councilman Wilkinson suggested that McClelland Drive, south
of Horsetooth, be renamed South Mason, and Mason Street,
from Horsetooth to Drake be renamed McClelland.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
St. Croix, to table this item for two weeks and clear this
with the subdivisions to the south between Horsetooth and
Harmony. Yeas: Councimembers Bowling, Gray, Kross, Reeves,
St. Croix, Wilkinson and Wilmarth. Nays: None.

(C). Mr. Larry Wall, representing the Transportation committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, presented the following
letter:
The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce has been informed that monies for the
Fort Collins Expressway have been deleted from the 1979-1980 State Highway construction
year budget. In fact, there are no monies included in the Highway Department five-year
plan for the Expressway.
VVe feel that this action must be corrected. Both the City Council and the County Com-
missioners need to lobby to reinstate the funding for this project. white modifications
can be made on the east end, it is imperative that the west end, the Laporte Bypass, be
started as soon as possible.
we encourage the City and the County to develop a cooperative plan, one agreed upon by
both bodies, and to take this plan to the next Ilighway Commissioners meeting,
Laporte needs the Bypass and we need to work towards this end. Again, we ask you to
be on the agenda at the next highway Commissioner meeting to be held Thursday, August
16, 1979, 8:30 a. m. , at the IIighway Department headquarters, 4201 East Arkansas
Avenue, Denver.
The Chamber is committed to this project and will assist you iu correcting this error.
Sincerely, /
Bill Lauer, Chairman
Transportation Committee

Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Final plans and specifications for the computerized system
have been submitted to the State, and they are in the process
of printing the bid documents. The State indicated that a
tentative schedule for advertising for bidding is the second
week in August.
This project involves the modernization of traffic signals
and the installation of a computer to control the City's
traffic signals. The majority of the funding of this project
is from the Urban Systems Funds, and the State normally han-
dles the inspection and administrative duties associated with
August 7, 1979
this type of funding. Since the desired level of expertise
for installation and inspection is not available at the State
level, the City received permission to acquire outside ex-
pertise to assist us in handling this project. We requested
proposals from six firms with the necessary qualifications
and received proposals from two firms: Transplan Associates
and CH2M Hill. Staff unanimously felt that Transplan Associ-
ates had the necessary expertise for construction management
and implementation of the computerized traffic signal con-
trol system.
The fee for this work will be distributed as

Zoning the Horsetooth-Timberline Annexation
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"On July 9, the Planning and Zoning Board held a public
hearing on this zoning request and unanimously recommended
approval subject to the following conditions:
B-P Zoning - 15.5 acres
1. P.U.D. application on the entire site.
R-P Zoning - 53 + acres
1. Maximum number of dwelling units of 400 total on
whole site.
2. P.U.D. application only
3. Total maximum average of 8 DU/AC for whole site
4. No additional commercial through the use of the
commercial allotment of the P.U.D. ordinance.
Planning staff feels that of the two alternatives proposed,
the better location for the B-P area would be the immediate
intersection of Horsetooth and Timberline since it would
offer better service and pedestrian access.
They further recommend that the remaining 53+ acres be zoned
R-L-P as there is no justification for the higher density
obtainable in the requested R-P zoning."

Ordinance Adopted on Second Reading
Creating and Organizing Street Improvement
District No. 74, Also Known as Consolidated
Street Improvement District No. 74
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This ordinance was adopted on first reading at the July 17
meeting by a 5-2 vote and establishes Street Improvement
District No, 74.
The staff is proceeding as quickly as possible attempting
to get construction started this fall and soon enough to
complete the drainage, pavement, curb and gutter construction
before winter sets in. However, a strong possibility exists
that weather or right-of-way problems will delay the con-
struction.
Right-of-way negotiations have started for the parcels at
the intersection of Mulberry with Taft Hill. Appraisals of
the parcels are under way at the request of several owners,
and to determine fair market value for the remainder of the
parcels. Condemnation of several of the parcels is a pos-
sibility, which would delay completion of the project until
late summer of 1980.
The scheduled date for accepting bids is September 10, 1979,
-47-
August 7, 1979
with the award of the contract taking place at September 13
Council meeting. Construction is scheduled to begin by the
28th of September. If permanent paving cannot be installed
this fall, it will be necessary either to place temporary
pavement or close the street to through traffic for the
winter.
Every attempt will be made to not let right-of-way acquisition
delay the project. This may include special provisions that
will limit construction until 1980 when right-of-way must be
condemned."
Councilman St. Croix made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Wilkinson, to adopt Ordinance 88, 1979, on second reading.

(B). City Manager Arnold called Council's attention to a
memorandum from Chief Building Inspector, Bill Waldo,
regarding questions on roof damage repair. The memo-
randum is incorporated and made a part hereof:
"The Building Inspection office has been deluged by calls from homeowners'.
contractors, and insurance agents in regard to roofing damage created by
the 'recent hailstorm.
The calls that have been the most disturbing are from homeowners and in-
surance agents who have been given the following kinds of information from
roofing contractors:
1. Building Inspection has ruled that if' there is one hole in the plywood
sheathing the whole sheet of plywood must be replaced.
2. City Council passed an ordinance that if' there are more than two holes
in the roof the whole roof' must be replaced.
3. And on and on.
Other complaints that are disturbing are cumplai.nts by homeowners alleging
that Building InspecLion is Laking advantage of l.hc :::i.tuaLi.on by requiring
permits for re -roofing.
Flaving responded to all of the calls and :inquires I contacted KCOL and the
Coloradoan by telephone and asked them to please relay the. following infor-
mation to the public.
1. City Council has not passed any ordinance relative to roof repairs or
re -roofing brought about by hail damage.
2. Building Inspection does not require the replacing of whole sheets of
plywood :.heathing unless t.l,c sheet it dam,jted beyond re;i,-.n:l,le re-
pair. We have stated that. aril he l •r.; could l,e repair d by covering
with galvanized metal - more severe damage by beel'in;, up underneath the
sheathing with 1" nominal Lhickness lumhor or by replacing smallsec-
tions which cuuld be supported on headers. we are only euncerned that
the integrity of the sheathing is, maintained to a point that i-t will
perform the function intcm.lcd.
3. The Coda requires permit.. Pnr re-rool'i.ng and roof repairs. The permits
are a safeguard for the property owners.

Some of the things we look al. before issuino. a permit are.:

t
B. Is the pitch of the roof adequate For shingles? If the pitch is too low,
we urge the owners to look at alternate roof coverings.
C. Is the roof damaged to the extent that it will allow water to penetrate?
If so we require a felt underlayment.
D. Urge property owners to make sure their contractor is .licensed by the
City arid has a permit and if they have any questions to please contact
the Building Inspection office.
E. The average cost of $15.00 for a re -roofing permit assures the owner of
an inspection by competent people and a lot of free technical advise.
We presently have one man devoting full time answering roofing questions.
(C). City Manager Arnold then reported that an Arts Facility
Manager had been hired for the Lincoln Community Center.
His name is Dave Siever.

responsibility to hire the outside auditor, and Council
