Russell.
Ordinance adopted on first reading amending Article I of
Chapter 112 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins relating
to the City water utility and rates for service from such
utility
Councilman Fead stated he wished to make a couple of comments regarding the
cover memo relating to this ordinance.
"The memorandum implies that the ordinance would provide a decrease in the
flat rate for single family residences, and it was not quite true; as
proposed, the ordinance carries an 30 to 40% increase for the average single
family residence, and about 30% increase for duplex; with meters the
increase for commercial is about 50 to 65%; for a single family and duplex
it approximates about 30% again; for trailers the average use is
quoted on the data given. The charge for trailers is from a decrease of
20% to an increase.of 20%, depending on the rate of usage and for apart-
ments, it is a decrease from 12% to 30%". Further, Councilman Fead
stated "it should be pointed out that the City is selling water which is
treated and transported, etc., for something less than 10¢ a ton, which is
a cheap commodity; it is less than four hundredth of a cent per gallon
and one of the things that we need to be careful of is that if we fail to
provide for future use, the cost of the water will be much more." It
is Councilman Fead's opinion that "two to three million dollars it
would.take for meters at this time, would be far better spent for new
sources of water".
Another item of concern expressed by Councilman Fead was that renters should
be well aware that although there are increases in the water, these are
off -set by changes in the tax rates and this should not be an excuse for
increasing rents. In closing, he did not feel that single family residences
were getting a big break.
Councilwoman Gray stated she hoped Council members would reconsider going
to a pure cost of service. Councilman Bowling spoke to the 15% reserve
provided by the single family residences.
Councilman Lopez inquired if the ordinance reflected the alternate as
recommended by the Water Board.
City Attorney March stated that the ordinance was drawn on.the alternate -
as.recommended by the Eater Board.
Mr. Gary Eaton, 427 Garfield, appeared before Council and spoke in favor
of the alternate as recommended by the Water Board.

Fead, Gray, Lopez, Preble, Reeves and Russell. Nays: None.
City Attorney March stated he would like to have clarification of previous
Q action of the Council on this subje;:t. It was his understanding that the.
ordinance, as drain, would not adjust the rate to the Kcst Fort Collins .
Eater District to reflect the 15% reduction, outlined for single family
flat rate users. It was the consensus of the Council that this was
correct.
City Manager Brunton stated there was an error of 1% in the (Vest Fort
Collins rate, as originally it was understood that the water meters in
the district were owned and maintained by the City. This was an error;
.hence the I� per thousand gallon reduction.
First -reading adopted amending Section 18-22 of the Code of
the City of Fort Collins relating to amendments to the
zoning ordinance
City Attorney March stated that this was awned at stream lining the
process of doing away with one resolution and put the matter tothe
administration to handle. The City Clerk will automatically give
notice, once she received notice from the Planning and Zoning Board,

Resolution adopted acceptinc the recommendation from the
Direct6r of Public forks regarding the initiation of a
special improvement district and directing the City
Engineer to prepare and present to the -City Council the
necessary information for formation of District No. 70
Director of Community Development, Roy- Bingman, stated this would be
the paving of Shields Street between Prospect Street and Swallow Road.
If approved, the Administration anticipated bringing the report back
to the City Council for Part 11 approximately one month after Part I
because of the amount of engineering and estimating involved to com-
plete report for Part 1.
City Manager Brunton state(: that this would be a difficult district,
mainly because CSU was one of the large property oamers in the area;
CSU has budgeted money for this project. Also, included in this
project would be the improvement of the street for the pedestrians to.
Rocky Mountain High School. The City of Fort Collins, as a property ,
owner in the area, will also be a contributor to the district, and there
are funds available in the budget for this improvement.

Cresap, Paget and McCormick Fleet Plan for Police Department
52 accepted and adopted
A two hearing on the above subject: was initiated by. the City Manager's.
summary as follows:
The consultant's report summarized the fleet plan in seven pages of a comprehensive
report. -Listed below is a summary of the six major advantages of
the fleet plan:
1. To increase the number of police units available to respond to the scene of
reporting crimes or other urgent calls for assistance,
2. To increase the visibility of presence, and display to citizens -that there are
police ready to respond when needed, thereby contributing to their peace of mind.
3. To enhance the Police Department's ability to summon off -duty policemen in
emergencies and have them report in equipped police cars directly to the site where
they are needed.
4. To improve the maintenance and reliability of police cars by placing the respon-
sibility for personal care of each car on an individual policeman,
S. To allow patrol officers coming on duty to place the relieved patrolman in the
assigned zone without having to report to the station to change cars.
6. To provide by the presence of additional marked cars on the streets an added
incentive for motorists to obey traffic laws.
i
These advantages do not include the fringe -benefit affect to the patrol officers of
the fleet plan which is an added factor. Since the most costly part of the Police
Department operation is for personal services, and the major portion of the addi-
tional trained personnel in the Police Department is the 2/3+ not on duty, the main
justification for the fleet plan is that it utilizes this off -duty personnel,,
The major:disadvantages are:
1. The high initial capital cost,
If the City's bid is accepted, the initial capital cost to the City
would be �136,487 including the refurbishing of cars from other departments to be
assigned to the Police Department and the cost of the replacement compact cars.
However, according to the analysis of the vehicles' purchase policy of the CMP
report, tile net increased cost to the City over the next six years would be
$2,281 per year in vehicles and $5,950 per year in specialized police equipment,
or a total of $8,231 per year.
2. The increased yearly operating expense. Our estimates are based on the extra
annual canital cost from the CMP report of $2,281 per year for extra vehicles and
$5,950 per year for police equipment. Under the assumptions in I -like DiTullio's
report, the extra costs for operating the vehicles (based on 1973 prices) would
be $18,150 per year and the extra insurance costs would be $4,800 per year.
(There might be some difficulty obtaining the necessary insurance.) Tills means,
based on the CPIP report and our assumed additional usages under the 1973 prices,
the total additional cost to the City would be $31,181 per year. Also, we would
use an additional 16,500 gallons of gasoline per year.

3. The difficulty of establishing control. Exhibit C is a policy statement we
recently prepared which includes sections on (a) the purpose of the one-to-one
car plan, (b) general regulations covering the use of City -owned vehicles, and
(c) maintenance regulations covering the use of City -own vehicles. Pith this in
mind, we believe controls could be adequately established,
4. The problem of having a new system or dichotomy in our vehicle plan. At the
present time we are trying to limit the number of City vehicles that are token
home. Many cars are essentially taken home because of the onergencv nature of
pp the work of many of our de;artment personnel. However, when possible, we are
00 asking that the cars be left at the office and encouraging that car Pools be used
either with City. or private cars. The duel system might create some problems try-
7
ing to enforce our vehicle policies. However, we believe this can be worked out..
5. The attitude of the public towards this program. Perhaps the most important
factor to evaluate is the attitude of the public towards this program. 15e should
determine how the public perceives this program. If a large percentage of the
people feel this is wasteful, they sill, therefore, formulate this policy as a
general feeling towards the City. However, if they feel this program gives them
added protection, it would be a plus value.
Recommendation: There are Problens that have to ` — worked out regardless which way
the Councilecides. Such questions such as local purchase versus state purchase
of vehicles still exists. The whole question of what types and standards should
be used for the purchase of compact cars is of equal importance under either
system. Pie need to have quick delivery of some co,,pact cars to implement the
transfer plan outlined in Mike DiTullio's recommendation.
As stated before, the main decision to be made by the Council is whether or not the
$30,000+ is worth the advantages of the fleet plan as outlined in the various
reports. To a certain degree, this is a subjective decision, The Administration
can and will work with either system decided on by the Council to malco it as
workable as possible.
Council members next had an opportwiity to ask questions.
The following citizens spoke in opposition to the plan:
1. Mr. Paul Moore, 2723 Stanford
2. Mr. Rollen Dixon, Belivue
3. Mr. Gary Eaton, 427 Garfield
4. Mr. Steve Smith, 1109 hest Magnolia
5.' Mir. David Bye, 119 North Shields
6. Ms. Betty Jarzyna, 601 E. Plum

their entirety.

2. Mr. Jack Peverly, 1001 McHugh Street
3. Mr. Jan Scarboro, 2740 Alexander Court
Mr. Bill. Evans reviewed the basic reasons why this plan was recommended and
then responded to questions raised.
City Manager Brunton stated regulations had been worked out in advance
should Council adopt this plan.
Questions and continents by Council members
1. Councilman Bowling stated lie had expected the study to show the need for
substantial increases in the Police Department;, upon studying the report and
going through it, he felt it could help the City and that the study 'showed
the City could do _something rather than just increasing the manpower.
2. Councilman Fead stated this was only one facit of a complicated study
and he felt the Police had given -in a number of areas i.here they were not
that happy about giving, that we felt that because they too had confidence
in the consultant, that this would lealto a more efficient operation, they
were willing to try this. Therefore., he felt that this particular part
of the recouanendation could also be adopted.
3. Councilwoman Gray stated she did .not see in the regulations, where
jolice officers would be paying for their own gasoline. City Manager
Brunton stated this had been discussed by the Council but not voted on;
it was the widerstanding of the Administration that they would not.
4. Councilman Lopez inquired what effect this plan would have on over-
time pay, adding he felt it would be unfair to the Police officers to have
them come in without additional overtime pay. Councilman Lopez stated
he made this comment "because much of the discussion would lead the
ordinary citizen to believe that we are going into something that would be
much more economical and therefore, we are not going to have to be raising
the budget of the Police Department in the next year or two and I would
hate to come up another year from now and raise the budget for the Police
Department and say, well, we thought we wouldn't have to raise it at all,
this was going to solve it, and I changed my mind, it did'nt solve it."
City Manager Brunton stated there would be increases, but it was hoped
they would be minimal.
Council Lopez stated he had received 25 calls on the subject; 21 had indi-
cated they were opposed; 4 stated they were in favor. Some of the calls
indicated preferential treatment would be given one department while
others felt it would be poor public relations. In closing, Councilman
Lopez stated he was pessimistic about this and would rather spend the maney
on another project to help the Police Department.

S. Mayor Preble stated she agreed there had been a lot of misinformation
about the plan and she felt it would improve the public relations of the
Police Department.
6. Councilwoman Reeves stated the majority of her calls had been inquiries
some related to the costs. Only one of her calls had been negative.
Further, the Police Dopartment had implemented the plan including the items
they dial not especially favor, and now when it was time to give them a
fringe benefit, the plan should be tried and see ho,,, it works out. The
humanizing effect of seeing Police officers with their families was also
addressed by Councilwoman Reeves.
OC7. Councilman Russell stated he was very much in favor of the fleet plan,
Oc economically as well as for protection for the people. Where are some
(� areas of concern, but he felt they could be worked out. `1'he,cails he had.
received here six for and one against.

the Fleet Plan and adopt it. Yeas: Council members Bowl'ing,.Pead, Gray,

Electical rate increase referred to City Attorney
City Manager Brunton states the Administration, in looking for direction on
how to proceed on the rate -proposal and rate study, based on notification
from the Platte River Paver Authority, on their rate increases: As a folloc•r
up to the Council work session on .January 10,.1974, Director of Utilities, Stan
Case; reviewed the alternatives he had given at this meeting: (1) Continuing
present rates (no increase), (2) No raise now - cost -of -service rate adjust-
ments in 1975,(3) Increase now to reflect Imoim costs and cost -of -service study
as 'basis- for 1975 and I977 adjustments.
77ne recommendation of the Administration was that. Council adopt Alternative
3 to reflect the known costs and cost of service study as basis for 1975 and
1977 adjustments.

flatening of rate.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Lopez, to direct the

session.
Councilman Bowling spoke to the letter from the Steering Committee of
D1' which stated in part:

inflation, make it imperative that consideration be given to some addi-
tional staff so that these programs can be moved ahead."

tration felt that the resolution had served its intended purpose, at
that time the Administration mentioned that the City coi.ld either (a)
extend this period of the resolution, (b) recommend a new resolution for �.

_Minor changes in Pay Plan approved
City Manager Brunton stated the administration was recommcnding that the
Lieutenants' position be in range ld rather than 1S. The competitive
salary system is based on base positions from our salary study and the
relationship of position within and between the various departments of the
City.
Councilman Lopez stated.he felt we were creating a bad precedent when we
fill positions in this manner; further he felt: we should consider na;nning
these positions on a temporary basis and that these positions be temporary
9� or if not the positions, the salary be. temporary, so that they become
open by that department for competitive cxaudnation.
JO
City Manager Brunton stated there were six openings and only six that were
eligible. ]'here were nice Sergeantseligible and three preferred to stay'in
their present.positions.
Councilman Lopez stated he felt Council should have an opportunity to look
over the personnel rules and make continents.
Councilman Bowling inquired if all six candidates were qualified. City
Manager Bruntoir responded that onty one did not meet the tti%o year re-
quirement in rank; the Personnel Board ruled to mako an exception in this
case. The Administrative Staff had argued for a promotional. examination
and the Police Dopartment had argued for the automatic promotion because
of the extra ordinary conditions.
Councilman Lopez felt all six positions should have been filled by com-
petitive examination.
Councilman Russell stated Council should have the information before hand.
City Attorney March cautioned Council on the Charter provision of not
interferring with the Administrative Service. Councilman Fead stated he
did not know of any military organization that fills their positions by com-
petitive examination.
Mr. Chris Ferguson, 530 East Swallow Road, spoke in opposition . to going
outside the department for supervisory personel , terming it detrimental
to morales.
Councilwoman Reeves made amotion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray, to approve
the changes in the pay plan. Yeas: Council members Bowling; Fead,
Gray, Lopez, Preble, Reeves and Russell. Nays: None.
Purchase of three buses approved
Councilman Bowling stated this issue had been discussed many times. In
discussion with the consultants at the afternoon work session, it had
been recommended that the City purchase two buses with one backup.
57
- .5S
Councilman Russell addressed the method of how the City is planning to use
the busses in the beginning; that is the demand system; this would mean
the City had two busses with one backup with no established routes; only
by call does this respond. Councilman Russell stated he would like to have
established routes first and check the feasibility of that before going to
a demand system. Councilman Fead expressed the same reservations expressed
by Councilman Russell.
City Manager Brunton stated his concern of Council authorized buying all of
the busses, we might not qualify for federal funds.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Lopez, to place
an order, three Mercedes Benz mini busses with 1.5 to 20 seating capacity
with authomatic transmission. Yeas: Council members Bowling, Fead,
Gray, Lopez, Preble, Reeves and Russell. Nays:None.
Resolution authorized approving an agreement with
International Investment Company
City Attorney March stated on the Spring Creek property, the City had
correspondences going back more than a year on the matter relating to
furnishing raw water to that land. The question of whether the City
would accept the water was before the Rater Board and the Council and the
determination had been made by the Council not to accept the water.
Upon review of the situation, negotiations had been held with the devel-
opers, out of which came the recommendation to the Council that the devel-
.opers pay the fees required in lieu of water rights with a contract saying
that if within an 18 month period the matter.was resolved so that the City
would accept the Arthur Ditch water, then the City would refund the money
for an equivalent amount of water. If the policy did not change within the
18 month period, the City would keep the money.
City Attorney March stated one other item that might be germain to this
was a meeting with the Southside Ditches, discussed by the Rater Board
at an afternoon meeting held today, and on the basis of their recommendation,
he would write the ditch company Directors and advise them that with or with-
out a meeting with them, the City would make a determination on March 1,"
1974.

an agreement with International Investment Co. as outlined. Yeas:

ment the:tree planting program.

bids.
City Manager Brunton stated Council had had a consensus that if the
difference in cost between the local dealers and the state bids was more
than $500 the bid would be given to the state. The only problem was
that the City was going to state bid on the basis of assimiption that the .
same thing would hold on the intermediate cars and go. just tg_state bid.on
,- intermediates. There was a difference of aMttt $11,000 on 20 ca'rgs
