You will recall that this ordinance was originally drafted in 1975 but was not finally presented to the Council until 1976. Between the time of the original draft and the time when it was presented to Council, the City adopted the ordinance creating the Cultural Resources Board. hhen the ordinance creating this Board was codified, the codifiers assigned it section numbers which conflicted with Ordinance No. 2. We failed to note this in preparing the final draft to correct this, it is necessary to adopt the enclosed ordinance which will renumber the sections relating to the Cultural Resources Board so that there is no conflict. Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to adopt Ordinance No. 30, 1976 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson.

The Council did not adopt that ordinance apparently feeling that the requirements made on pawn- brokers were too great. However, the Police Department has strong feelings that changes are needed in the ordinance to enable them to keep track of pawned articles in connection with their investigations. At its April 13, 1976, meeting the City Council reviewed the modified Ordinance No. 31, 1976. Deputy Chiefs Seib and Kelly were there to discuss this matter with the Council. At the present time, we have only one pawnbroker in the City. Although we have a good relationship and cooperation with him, we still believe such an ordinance is needed to improve our present police activities and to safeguard against any possible future problems. Councilman Russell inquired in Section 4 relating to "personal property." Assistant Chief Seib also addressed the provision for one location. Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to amend the ordinance by deleting in the fourth line of the indented matter the words "of personal property" and the last three words of the paragraph "of such ' Property."

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Amending Section 112-66 of the Code Relatine to the Water Utility Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: Section 112-66 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins requires the proposed developer to furnish water to the City. In the event the property owner requesting water service will not be able or is unwilling to furnish water rights required, the City will accept a cash payment in lieu of the water rights. At the present time we are accepting cash in lieu of water at the rate of $350 for each acre foot. The cost of water has been going up rapidly. The going rate is in excess of $S00 per acre foot and varies upon various situations. The staff recommended that this cash in lieu of water be increased to $S00 per acre foot. The Water Board reviewed this analysis and recommended that the $500 rate be adopted. They further recommended that this fee be reviewed annually. 233 Councilman Russell inquired if this ordinance would affect the value of Josh Ames Certificates --City Attorney March responded that he did antici- pate that with this change in price, the City will see more water rights satisfied through the use of Josh Ames Certificates than previously.

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Relating to Plant Investment Fees for the Water Utili Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item Following an in-depth study in 1973, the City of Fort Collins made a sizeable adjustment in the water utility's plant investment fees. At that time it was agreed that the fees would be adjusted annually based on certain nationally published indexes. This year an analysis has been made of the indexes weighed by that portion of the utility capital expenditures for the various utility improvements. This analysis indicates an adjustment of 13% for water plant investment fees. These adiustments have been discussed with representatives of developers and contractors. At their April 9, 1976, meeting the Water Board recommended for approval of the rate increase. The City Council also discussed this matter at their April 13, 1976, work session. City Attorney March advised the Council that the tap charges had been omitted in the ordinance;in order to include them in the ordinance a motion was necessary to include them.

At that time Council indicated a desire to broaden the scope of the district by including sidewalk improve- ments on the north side of Stuart Street. The Engineering Department has attempted to comply with this request, but it appears that the difficulties inherent in installing sidewalk on the north side will not permit this to be accomplished in this construction season. As indicated in the memos from the Engineering Department and the City Attorney, if the Council desires to go ahead with sidewalk improvements during this year, the improvements will have to be omitted from Elie north side of Stuart Street.

Checklist for Non -Federally Coordinated Action in Regard to Airport Development Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: At a special meeting on September 22, 1974, the City Council approved a pre - application for federal assistance for construction of additional aircraft parking apron and reconstruction of part of the existing parking apron. Because of the lack of federal, funds, this project has been delayed for some time. Apparently, the Federal Aviation Administration is now in a position to fund this project. We were informed that the funds could not be transferred to resur- facing the runways, which is badly needed. The estimated cost of the project is $288,452 with a local share of $60,518. In connection with this application for a federal grant, we received the request to have approval of the checklist for non -federally coordinated action and the negative environmental statement that has been approved by the State COG and the FAA. It is required that the mayors of the two cities sign the checklist. Mayor Jean Gaines of Loveland has already signed on behalf of the City of Loveland. 245 Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to approve the checklist and authorize the Mayor to sign it on behalf of the City. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Recruitment of Full -Time Assistant City Attorney Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: For several years we have been talking about the eventual need for a full-time City Attorney and legal staff. However, because of the diversity and complexity of many issues facing the City, we did not think the time for making a change was opportune. Also, there was a space problem since City Hall has no space available for an attorney, and we recognized that the new system would increase the budget. Several things have happened recently that have altered the timetable. First, John -David Sullivan, one of our part-time Assistant City Attorneys and partner of our City Attorney, Arthur E. March, Jr., was appointed a District Judge. This reduces the personnel available to handle the legal work. Secondly, the staff legal assistance has increased tremendously in recent years. Lastly, we now have considerably more litigation involving the City. Therefore, the need and recommendation from the City Attorney and City Manager is to proceed with the hiring of a full-time Assistant Citv Attornev. The amount of expenditures for legal services in Fort Collins are considerably lower than other comparable cities in Colorado. Exhibit A gives a summary of legal staffs, salaries, and total budget for several comparable Colorado cities. Our 1976 budget is $55,781 and our revised estimated 1975 population was 62,100. For comparison purposes, listed below is the estimated per capita cost for legal services in the aforementioned cities: Cit,_ Per Capita Cost Aurora $1.74 Lakewood 1.79 Englewood 2.69 Littleton 1.64 Arvada 1.24 Boulder 2.07 Greelev 1.07 Fort Collins 0.90 It is my personal feeling that the level of our legal services has been better than the average city listed above. Also, the scope of our municipal activities and demand for legal services is greater than the cities listed above. Our 1976 approved budget for City Attorney is as follows: 246 Personal Services $42,061 Contractual Services 13,720 Total $SS,781 The legal staff consists of four part-time persons with retainer fees as follows: City Attorney $16,000 Assistant City Attorney kl 10,200 Assistant City Attorney @2 7,800 Assistant City Attorney #3 4,200 It is difficult to determine what level of full-time Assistant City Attorney we can recruit. The person hired would have to be a graduate of a law school and eligible to take the Colorado Bar examination. It would be desirable if that person had passed the Colorado Bar and had some municipal law experience. We are estimating that the annual salary range would be $18,000-$22,000. This could be less if we recruited a person with little or no experience. There would also be other expenses for fringe benefits, secretarial help, contractual, and commodity expenditures and capital expenditures for office furniture and law publications. The salary previously paid to John -David Sullivan would continue to be paid to March, March $ Sullivan as an additional retainer until the n ew Assistant City Attorney is on the payroll and then that additional retainer would be discontinued. We are estimating and hoping that we can make the transition on July 1, 1976. Listed below is the estimated increase in the annual budget and the budget for the last six months of 1976: Last 6 Months ' Annual Budget 1976 Personal Services Assistant City Attorney $20,000 Secretary 6,000 Fringe Benefits 3,900 Total Personal Services $29,900 $14,950 Contractual Services 3,000 1,500 _ Commodities 2,000 1,000 Capital 2,000 2,000 Subtotal $36,900 $19,450 Less Assistant City Attorney's Salary-10.200 -5,100 TOTAL $26,700 $14,350 According to the Charter, the City Attorney is appointed by the City Council, and Assistant City Attorneys are appointed by the City Attorney. However, most of the legal activities of the full-time Assistant will be on staff or administrative assignments. We propose that the City Attorney still handle practically all Citv Council matters and most of the law suits. Also, one of the present Assistants will be our prosecuting attorney and the rest of the present part-time staff would be assigned to the Water Board, Downtown Redevelop- ' ment Commission, and Liquor Licensing Authority. Our full-time Attorney 247 would be assigned to the Planning and Zoning Board, Building Board of Appeals, Zoning Board of Appeals, etc. All of these and other assignments are tenta- tive and should be kept flexible. At some time the City Council might want to appoint this full-time Assistant or some other attorney as full-time City Attorney. This situation should be reviewed annually at budget time. However, we do not feel that any additional transition should be made until at least 1978. Both the City Manager and City Attorney feel that the full- time assistant City Attorney should be selected and appointed jointly by them and confirmed by the City Council. The Assistant City Attorney will be on the City Attorney's staff, but assigned to the City Manager for work assignments. As indicated before, this transition will take flexibility and adjustment. In conclusion, it is obvious that Fort Collins has been fortunate to have an extremely capable City Attorney and staff at a reasonable price. The quality of service should continue, but the change means the costs will continue to increase. Council questions regarding the duties of the Assistant, the recruitment process, how assistants will be appointed, and the lines of responsibility for the assistant were aired. Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to authorize the City Manager and City Attorney to proceed to recruit an Assistant City Attorney. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Citizen Participation A. Andy Anderson, 1421 Skyline Drive, inquired into a number of items relating to the Seven Year Capital Improvements Program. B. Mr. Fred Whitaker, 920 South Taft Hill Road, requested clarification of an abstention vote of the Council. City Attorney March stated that by the Charter an abstention is recorded as a "yes" vote. Mayor Wilkinson announced the following proclamations: A. Proclamation for Respect for Law Week. B. Proclamation for National Secretaries Week. C. Proclamation for Arbor Week. City Pension Funds Scheduled for Future Work Session Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: At the April 13, 1976, work session, Councilman Arvid Bloom requested an item on the April 20th agenda pertaining to City pension funds. When Jack Russell was Mayor and served as Chairman of both the Police and Fire Pension Fund Boards, he expressed concern about the funding and actuarial soundness of all 248 of the pension funds and requested that we discuss this matter at a City Council meeting. Prior to these requests, we had deferred any action on this matter because the funding for 1976 from the General Fund had been committed. We believe that this item should be discussed at the prebudget work sessions. We are pleased that the City Council is concerned about the protection of the City employees' pension rights and also its effect on the total cost of operating the City of Fort Collins. In the fall of 1975 we were fortunate to obtain the services of Tom McComb, a local, competent actuarial consultant to work with our Pension Boards and the City Administration on a continual basis. Copies of his actuarial evaluation reports were given to the City Council earlier this year. Enclosed are copies of the minutes of the three Board meetings pertaining to these reports. We have requested that Mr. McComb and members of the three boards including the employee representatives be present at the Council meeting. Most municipal pensions are not in good financial condition. In most cases they are better than Social Security but have not made provisions for the long term funding and actuarial soundness. This has been especially true with the large increases in personnel and salaries during the past decade. Also enclosed is a copy of the summary of the eligibility funding and bene- fits for the three funds. Our Fire Pension Fund is probably in the worst shape primarily because the retirement age is 50. Although the Policemen's Pension Fund only required the City and the employee to pay 20 into the fund until several years ago, this fund is in better shape because the minimum retirement age is 55. The general City's Retirement Fund is in , the best condition because the minimum retirement age is 60, 62, or 65 with limited benefits. This fund is supplemented with Social Security.._ We propose that we have a special work session on this subject in the near future as one of the first items for the 1977 budget. We should discuss whether or not we want to increase the employees' or employer's funding level and also if we should take steps to work towards increased state funding of the Police and Fire Pension Finds. With the general City Retire- ment Fund there are possibly three alternatives: (1) to increase benefits; (2) to consider the State PERA Pension Fund; and (3) to have our own private pension fund with the withdrawal from Social Security. Councilman Bloom presented a breakdown of unfunded liabilities of about four million dollars. With an escalator clause, the potential liability reaches almost six million dollars. Councilman Bloom recommended that the City of Fort Collins' staff and City -Council contact the Colorado Municipal League and ask that they study all pension funds throughout the state and that corrective steps be taken. Mr. Tom McComb, Actuary, addressed the recommendations on each fund which indicated that corrective actions should be taken. Don Botteron, President of the Employees Association, expressed the employee's appreciation for concern being expressed by the Council regarding the employee's benefits. 249 City Manager Brunton acknowledged a letter with recommendations by 1 Glenn Walter, Trustee of the Firemen's Pension Board. Mayor Wilkinson stated this would again be addressed at a prebudget work session. Ordinance Defeated on First Reading Relating to Hyder Rezoning Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to remove this item from the table for consideration. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Councilman Suinn requested staff review prior to Council discussion. Planning Director Lester Kaplan presented the history of the rezoning petition. The zoning alternatives of East Elizabeth-Lemay-Riverside vicinity were presented by Senior Planner Paul Deibel. The staff and Planning and Zoning Board have recommended denial of the Hyder Rezoning. Mayor Wilkinson read the following petition into the record: IApril 9, 1976 The Honorable Mayer Wilkinson Fort Collins City Council In answer to the petition by residents in the 700 800 block we the undersigned, living for many years in the goo 1000 block have a strong desire to see the Hyder petition for rezoning pass. Since being forced into tt.c Gi;.j iur. , 'r, ,:i no ouner residf:nt❑ move into the neighborhood. A Big apartment and a Resthome across from our homes and investment property on our street has made 9lr 2S0 hu;aes dJ}:J ttl in value. .(j of them are houses that were moved into the area in the 40's -------- not built here.) � L Q utc) %b loos/,QGe 'xr The following persons addressed the rezoning issue: 1. Don Hyder, 1008 Elizabeth, petitioner, spoke to the R-L panhandle and previous Council actions relating to this area, and requested approval of the petition for rezoning. 2. Ron Heard, 620 Colorado, stated he is working with the Redevelopment Task Force of the Comprehensive Planning Task Force. The Planning and Zoning Board had requested the Task Force to make recommendations in this area; they had recommended a park in the Laurel School area and had recommended for denial of the Hyder Rezoning Petition. Mr. Heard, as an individual, recommended the rezoning not be granted. 3. Sanford Kern, 804 E. Elizabeth, presented slides of the area in question and requested that Council deny the rezoning request and adopt the recom- mendations of the Planning and Zoning Staff. 251 4. Mrs. Bernice Reid, 624 South Shields and former realtor, stated the Hyder property could not be sold as a single family house. 1 5. Dr. Stuart Patterson, representing 908 East Elizabeth, stated he felt the above property was hopeless in R-L zoning and that it is deterioating. 6. Sam Cala, 814 E. Elizabeth, presented a petition in opposition to the rezoning request containing 36 names. 7. Charles Mabry, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Board, spoke to the deliberations had by the Board and the recommendation for alterna- tives for East Elizabeth. 8. Donald McMillan, 900 E. Elizabeth, spoke to the area selected for a park and the alternatives recommended. Mayor Wilkinson clarified for the audience that Council would only be acting on the Rezoning Petition this evening. The second question would be discussed at a future work session. Councilwoman Gray made a motion to adopt Ordinance No. 89, 1975 on first reading. Mayor Wilkinson declared the motion lost for a lack of a second. ' Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to defeat Ordinance No. 89, 1975 on first reading.

Nays: Councilman Wilkinson. 252 -.1 Request to Reconsider Remington Bypass Scheduled for Work Session ' Following is the City Manager's recommendation on this item: After completion of the Barton-Aschman report on the downtown, the City Council conducted extensive public hearings at the School Administration building which related almost entirely to the auestion of the location of the bypass recommended in the report. At the conclusion of the hearings, the Council unanimously adopted the recommendation in the report that the bypass be on Remington Street. Since that decision, the Downtown Redevelopment Commission has been formed, and JJ$R and L=DAW were employed as the design architects for the downtown project. Both groups have accepted as one of the criteria for their efforts the previous decision to locate the bypass on Remington Street. Work has progressed with this decision being taken by all as a basic premise. In addition, the Downtown Redevelopment Commission recently gave some attention to this question and passed the enclosed resolution reaffirming their confi- dence in the decision to locate the bypass on Remington Street. The enclosed request to re -open this decision has been received. Council may or may not desire to re -open this question; however, in any event, it would not appear proper to go into This matter in depth at this meeting. A recon- sideration of the question should only be after all interested parties have had notice of the hearing at which the matter will be reconsidered. , Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Council first decide if t ii� s issue is to be reconsidered. If the decision is made to re -open the question, then it is further recommended that a hearing be scheduled for the Council wort: session on April 27 on this question. In any case, we would like to schedule a session with the Downtown Redevelonment Commission on April 27. Attorney Arnaud Newton read the petition heading to be submitted as follows: "The undersigned respectfully objects to the motion passed by the City Council on April 23, 1975, to adopt Remington Street as a by-pass route and any assessment that would be levied against business and/or property owners to contruct same. We hereby request that this motion be rescinded by the City Council." Mr. Newcon stated the petition contained 184 signatures of business and property owners; 77 on College Avenue, 44 on Mountain Avenue, 22 on Linden, 17 on Walnut, 12 on Jefferson, S on Mason, 4 on.Olive, 1 on Remington, 2 on Pine and 1 on Oak. Further the priorities for parking and the inability to deter- mine costs were items of concern expressed. Councilman Russell stated he wished to disqualify himself from discussion because of an obvious conflict of interest. 253 Mayor Wilkinson expressed his disappointment at having III merchants express ' their dissatisfaction to the Remington Street bypass. City Attorney March stated he has been involved with the Downtown Commission and the consultants and was present when the Council held hearings and made their decision. The next step was to form the Downtown Commission to hire implementing architects to implement the plan and Council had directed the Commission to implement the plan including the specifics of the beautifica- tion, the specifics on parking, the specifics of the parking mall, the specifics of the relocation and the specifics of the financing. This last step has not been completed. The Commission will ultimately make a report and recommendations to the Council. One thing that has been relied on is that the Barton-Aschman concept was what the Council authorized and that is what the Commission has been working to develop. If that is stopped, then obviously everything that has been done will have to be started all over again. City Attorney March stated that in light of the above, the petition and request was premature. Bill Osborn, S20 South Loomis, spoke to the concerns of the downtown merchants concerning parking. Downtown Redevelopment Director Bob Ferluga identified the proposed areas for parking. Mr. Osborn stated he knew of no businessman who was in favor of the bypass. City Attorney March clarified, for the record, that there are three different ' things which had been discussed and that they served three different purposes: one, is the Timberline Bypass which has been talked about as a truck bypass to ease the long range truck traffic between cities; two, the Fort Collins expressway which is intended to be a Highway 14 cut-off; and three,; the Remington Street bypass which is entirely for a different purpose. Downtown Redevelopment Commission Chairman, Jerry Soukup, spoke to the work of the Commission to date adding that the final report is just weeks away. Mayor Wilkinson proposed a public hearing be held in the next two to four weeks and that the meeting be held in the Poudre R-I School Administration building to allow adequate room for all desiring to be involved. City Manager Brunton stated that once the Commission makes its recommendations to the Council, the Council will either accept or reject the recommendations. If Council accepis the recommnendations, then it would have to go through the process of public hearings and if the majority are against it as a concrete project, it will not go. Mr. Don McMillen, 146 N. College, stated what was said on the petition was one thing only and that is that the Remington Street bypass is not wanted. Ms. Martha Trimble, owner on North College, stated the majority of the property owners and businessmen were in favor of the beautification and the project in general; and that there was a lack of communication andthat 2S4 this would eventually go to a public vote. Captain Thomas World of the Salvation Army stated one of the things that ' happens with a bypass is that it cuts people off from the downtown area and that he had not heard of any plans to provide relocation to those persons who live in the downtown area. Mr. Don Shannon, a member of the Downtown Redevelopment Commission, stated the Commission stated that they welcomed input from the members of the downtown area. Mr. Andy Anderson, 1421 Skyline Drive spoke to the funding in the Capital Improvement Program for this project. Ms. Betty Peterson, 1315 Remington, stated when the bypass issue had been approved by the City Council she had assumed that parking would be allowed on Walnut Street, that the parking lot at Linden and Walnut would remain intact and that parking from Mountain to Magnolia would also be left intact. Things have changed since that time. Mayor Wilkinson again stated a work session on this item would be held in about four weeks. Street Closure at Linden and Walnut Approved Director of Engineering Services Roy A. Bingman stated there was a request , from some of the merchants on Linden and Walnut requesting the intersection of Linden and Walnut be closed to traffic from 11:00 a.m. through 5:30 p.m. on May 1, 1976 for an Old Town Fair. The traffic committee had considered this request and had recommended that the closure be limited to Linden Street because of safety access to the area. Mr. Patrick Steenberge, 234 N. Roosevelt, spoke to the proposal for the fair. Councilman Suinn made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell to support the complete closure of both streets from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on May 1, 1976. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. Citizen Questionnaire Approved Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: At the April 13, 1976 work session, the Fort,Cdllins City Council reviewed the Citizen Questionnaire. There were several, suggestions and'requests for additions to this questionnaire. Hopefully, all the desired changes and additions have been made. Enclosed is the revised Citizen Questionnaire. ■ We plan to have it distributed in the next week to 10 days. 2SS Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council approve the Cii�Questionnaire as amended and authorize the Mayor to sign the ' letter on behalf of the City. Council took no formal action on the recommendation; it was the understanding of the Council that the questionnaire would be sent out and Mayor Wilkinson would sign the letter on behalf of the City. Other Business Councilwoman Reeves stated the resolution from the Human Resources Group of the COG was not on the agenda; she did wish to take action on the application form in order that the agencies meet budget deadlines. Mayor Wilkinson inquired if there was any disagreement with the forms. Hearing none it was determined the Council would move ahead with the forms. 1 Adjournment Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to adjourn.
