Amendment to Contract with Black and Veatch
for Water Treatment Plant No. 1 Anproved
City Manager Robert L. Brunton stated the contract with Black and Veatch for
major remodeling work at Water Treatment Plant No. 1 had been entered into in
1972. Black andItatch is now working on several major small projects and it
is now necessary to amend the contract to reflect this work.
Councilman Bowling inquired into the estimated amount of the contract. City
Manager Brunton stated it would be approximately 20 to 30 thousand dollars
which would be based on engineering curves relating to these kinds of projects.
Water and Sewer Director Roger Rrempel addressed the basis on which the curve
would be applied. Further, Mr. Riempel stated the administration did not
desire to tie this small miscellaneous work into the other contract, due to
the fact that prevailing wages would have to be paid.
City Manager Brunton stated the curve that is proposed is the normal way that
negotiations would be made with other engineering firms.
59
s
sQ
Council then discussed the possibility of Black and Veatch being paid at the
lower of either two basis;' if the proposed curve for this contract, plus the
other curve, with the other contract is lowest, that combination could be _
used.
Mr. Carl Houck of Black and Veatch stated the contract proposed is what he
feels is the fairest arrangement.
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to approve
the amendment to the contract for Engineering Services with Black and Veatch
and authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute the amendment on
behalf of the City.
Councilman Bowling made a motion to amend the motion to have the contract
reflect that Black and Veatch would be paid at the lower of two basis.
This motion died for a lack of a second.
The Mayor.:put the motion with the following vote. Yeas: Councilmembers
Gray, Reeves and Russell. Nays: Councilmembers Bowling and Wilkinson.
Appointment of Members to Various Larimer-Weld
Council of Governments' Committees Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item.
Richard D. MacRavey, Director of the Larimer-Weld COG, has requested that
Fort Collins officially appoint members to the Land Use and Transportation
Planning Committee'and the Regional Human Resources Committee.
Roy Bingman, Engineering Services Director, served as our representative on
the Land Use and Transportation Planning Committee in 1975, and Peggy Reeves,
Councilwoman, served as our representative on the Human Resources Committee.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council reappoint
Roy Bingman to the Land Use and Transportation Planning Committee and Peggy
Reeves to the Human Resources Committee.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to reappoint
Roy Bingman to the Land Use and Transportation Planning Committee and Council-
woman Reeves to the Human Resources Committee. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling,
Gray, Reeves; Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Creation of Temporary Storm Drainage Board
Approved

At the January 27, 1976 work session the City Council discussed the storm
drainage problem and the recommendation to create a Storm Drainage Board
to assist the City Council and Administration in this area. 'To be effective,
the Board 'should consist of persons who are knowledgeable and experienced
in storm drainage and finance.
After discussing a suggested storm drainage ordinance including the creation
of a Storm Drainage Board, it was tentatively decided to initially create a
temporary Storm Drainage Board whose job it would be first to review and
modify the proposed ordinance. It was further recommended that, if this
course of action was taken, the Storm Drainage Board be charged with the
responsibility of coming back to the Council with a recommended ordinance
within ninety days after their appointment. It is hoped that the same members
would be considered and serve on the foremost Drainage Board. The recommenda-
tion was that this Board consist of five members.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council authorize
e temporary appointment of a 5-person Storm Drainage Board. The purpose of
this Board would be to review and analyze the storm drainage ordinance to the
City Council within ninety days after its creation.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray that Council
authorize a temporary Storm Drainage Board. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray,
Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Acceptance of Utility Agreement at the
Fort Collins -Loveland Airport Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item.
The Public Service Company has requested a utility easement along the easterly
ten feet of the Fort Collins -Loveland Airport. This agreement is needed to
provide gas.service to the trailer park to the north. A waiver was signed
allowing that the Fort Collins -Loveland Airport or any of its present or.
future users on the Airport site would not have to pay any pro-rata cost of
this line. They will also take care of any crop damages.
This Utility Easement Agreement has already been executed, however, in discussion
with our City Attorney, it was decided that it would be better if the Agreement
was officially confirmed by the City Council.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to accept the
utility easement agreement. Yeas: Councilmembers'Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell,
and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Resolution Adopted Approving An Agreement to be
Entered into with the Board of County Commissioners
of Larimer County Regarding Library Facilities _
Following;is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
The Larimer County Library Board and system was created in 1939. At that time
the County library books were located in the basement of the City library.
Fifty percent of the directors' salaries and fifty percent of various employees,
salaries were charged both to the City and to the County. In 1967, the County'
library was dissolved and merged with the City library. However, the County
Library Board.was kept to coordinate the library facilities in the county.
In the original 1967 agreement, the City received $13,500 to maintain a book-
mobile for the County and $10,500 to pay for free library service for people
in Larimer County wanting to use the library facilities. The amount of money
that the City received is based on a formula worked out by the County Library
Board of which Larry Webber acts as the County Librarian. Initially, the
County Commissioners determine how much can be allocated for library services
in a fiscal year: From this amount, money is deducted for the bookmobile,
for the operation of the Red Feather Lakes Library, and for Board expenses.
The remaining money is divided on a formula basis as follows: S.
Fort Collins 50%
Loveland 30%
Estes Park 128"
Berthoud 86
Initially, the Larimer County Library Board made a request of $1.00 per capita
or $118,000. This amount was later lowered to $100,000. This latter figure
was the one used in projecting our 1976 revenue. Listed below is a summary
of the allocations for 1974 and 1975 and the two requests and final allocation
for 1976:
1st Req. 2nd Req. Final
1974 1975 1976 1976' 1976

Total
$42,298
$50,700
$71,580
'$66,080
$50,700
The $66,080 figure was used for estimating and projecting the 1976 revenue.
We will, therefore, have a $15,380 less revenue in 1976. I think that this year
we should talk with the County Library Board and County Commissioners about the
additional cost of library service.
Recommendation: The Administration reluctantly recommends that the City Council
adopt the aforementioned resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign
the agreement with Larimer County on behalf of the City.

Councilmembers expressed their desire to work out a better agreement with
the County so that the County would pay their fair share for -the services.
The possibility of establishing branch libraries at City facilities and
returning the Bookmobile to the County was discussed.
These items will be addressed at the pre -budget work sessions this year.
Councilwoman Reeves.made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to adopt
the resolution and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to sign the
agreement with Larimer County on behalf of the City. Yeas: Councilmembers
Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Cedarwood Subdivision is located on the north side of Prospect Street west
of Taft Hill Road. The third filing consists of three single-family lots on
a �-acre tract located on the southwest corner of West Lake Street on Cedar -
wood Drive. The Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of this
subdivision plat.
In connection with the development of this subdivision, it is necessary to
connect Lake Street to the east. The developer has not been able to acquire
the necessary right-of-way. He has, however, signed an agreement authorizing
the City to use its powers of eminent domain to acquire the property. The
developer will reimburse the City for all expenses incurred in connection with
the right-of-way acquisition. This agreement has been signed and the Administra-
tion will recommend that the City Council by resolution accept the referenced
Agreement and authorize us to proceed with the acquisition of the property.

Resolution Adopted Approving Management Agreement
With the Fort Collins Housing Authority
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
e .
The Housing Authority of the City of Fort Collins was created in 1971. Members
are appointed by the City Council, but the Authority functions as an autonomous
group. From its inception, the City has provided administrative and planning
services to the Authority. Initially, the secretary of the group was our
former Planning Director, Donald Reynolds. Later, some functions were
assumed by Freeman Rader, Senior Planner. For the past several years, John
McGraw, our Human Resources Director, has been acting as Executive Director
of the Housing Authority. The City has been reimbursed for some of these
services.
On May 2, 1974, the City approved a Management Agreement between the City of
Fort Collins and the Housing Authority. At that time, the City approved a
lease for a piece of land in City Park located on Mountain Avenue for the con-
struction of administrative headquarters and community building for the Authority.
After many years of work, the first tenants will move into the units. It was
decided that we should have a more formal Management Contract between the City
and the Authority. John McGraw has submitted a memorandum summarizing the
terms and conditions of the Management Agreement. Part of the Agreement is that
our Human Resources staff will be headquartered in the new facility and perform
both services at the same.time. At the present time, approximately $8,400
is provided each year for administrative services. The Authority is working
on several projects including the Low -Rent Housing Project and may possibly
act as a tenant screening agency for another HUD project. All of these pro-
grams • will add to the financing of the administration costs. We hope that at
some stage in the future, the Housing Authority will hire its own independent
and separate Executive -Director. -The additional revenue sources are needed.
Councilwoman Gray inquired where the support staff was in screening applicants.
John McGraw stated they were screening applicants as units became available;
there are about ISO applicants now. Councilwoman Reeves inquired into the cost
accounting provisions. John McGraw and the City Manager stated these problems
are being worked out with the assistance of the Finance Department.
Councilman Wilkinson addressed the program regarding sub -standard housing, and
the possibility that some people might move out of sub -standard housing and
others move in, compounding the problem. City Manager.Brunton stated the
rehabilitation program and housing code would be reported at the February 24th
work session.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to adopt the
resolution approving the Management Agreement with the Housing Authority.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Airport Master Plan - 6500 Foot Runway
Reaffirmed
City Manager Brunton stated the length of the runway has been a point of
contention for some time. The Airport Board and the Loveland City Council
desired that an 8,500 foot runway be included in the master plan.
Initially, it was felt that a compromise had been reached wherein the City
of Loveland would accept the 6,500 foot runway providing Larimer County
could provide restrictive zoning for 8,500 feet and funding would not be
altered by the FAA. City Manager Brunton stated the FAAofficials are
requesting a final decision on the length of the runway so they can close
out their grant for this project.

with executive session. He had advised Council that the petitions were not
timely filed to be a referendum petition, however they do represent a position
of some interested members of the citizenry. The City Attorney reviewed his
suggestions that would further define those areas of concern as follows:
1. "Personnel matters restricted to the following areas:
"A. Matters involving the employment, appointment, dismissal, promotion,
demotion, assignment, and discipline of City personnel.
"B.. Consideration of complaints or charges against City personnel.

employee groups, including unions, and other matters connected with

limited to consideration of appraisals and other value estimates of the
