Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins held this 7th day of October, A.D. 1971. /s/ Karl E. Carson Mayor ATTEST: /s/ John Bartel City Clerk The City Manager commented on the cooperation of the department heads and as a result of this have a more realistic budget. Mayor Carson stated that the mill levy, reduced three years ago from 1S% to 10%, was not raised. Councilman Lopez moved that the original request of the Library for text books, be approved. The motion died for lack of a second. Don Webber of the School District, was present and spoke at length regarding street crossing guards, especially for the children at schools and mentioned the busy intersection of Shields and Mulberry. Mayor Carson suggested that the traffic stop completely for the pedestrians. Sue Babcock., a member of the Parents Advisory Committee, was present, stating she would like to see something on a permanent basis, that the City has a good safety record , that all agencies work together, speaking in favor of guards at crossings and that the speed limit needs to be lowered. . Councilman Lopez said the City has a responsibility of monotoring the schools, that the police should be considered as a friend and not just as an enforcement officer. Councilman Fead also said that safety on the streets is the City's responsibility, varying speed limits, more enforcement of traffic laws an hat the City Administration and City Attorney get together with the School Board and comRith an alternative and in his opinion the City should face up to it and do something about this matter. Mr. Webber stated that the school children have supervision at school, but away from the school ground, we do need guards at crossings., that the City has done a good job, that we have the greatest City and ahead in public schools, but think we can do even better, stating that the School District will pay one half of the approximate cost of $S,S40 for guards if the City will pay one half. Bill Weddel, representing the Parents Advisory Committee, was present, stating the Committee had discussed safety on our streets at their last meeting and that much had been done by the City, but more study should be made. He stated he hoped to have this .study done by January of 1972, and that they will be glad to meet with the City on this matter. lie read a letter requesting seven street crossing guards. The City Manager said he would go along with the study, that when a speed limit is set below what people usually travel, it is harder to enforce. He said that Boulder furnishes officers on certain crossings and suggested that at Prospect and Shields, the Barnesdance signals could be initiated on a 90 second cycle, is set for 60 seconds now, and could be initiated at Shields and Mulberry, but would throw all the signals off. He stated that the City has spent $3S,000 putting in signals at schools and $2,850.00 main- taining these signals every year, and understood that if we put up these signals where the schooldistrict asked, the Board would stand the cost of guards. He said that maybe we can worksomething out with the study and would welcome it. Motion was made by Councilman Fead, to instruct the City Administration to meet with Poudre R-1 School Board and also the Parents Advisory Committee to study this matter and report to the Council the results of this study. This was seconded by Councilman Lopez. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative. Guy Palmes was present asking about depreciation and the transfer of water funds to the Recreation Department. The City Attorney advised him that depreciation was not permitted and that the transfer of water funds was a loan for the golf course which would be paid back with interest. Motion was made by Councilman Fead, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, that the resolution on the Budget be adopted. Upon a roll call, all members of the Council voted in the affirmative. 04 October 7, 1971.

The City Manager said that it goes back into the General Fund, stating that if a person has a good evaluation, he will get a 6% increases in wa.es. fie said that if a man is on the job every day, that he will probably get a raise; that very few in the Public Works Department that will not get merit raises. Councilman Lopez asked if these are merit raises or some increment raises, and that they should be called as such.

They hope to be in a position to bid future vaults after the completion of K-Mart. Kiefer Concrete expressed no interest in the vaults because of their heavy construction schedule. They may bid on future requirements depending on other construction commit- ments. /s/ Bob Kest The City Mamager stated that due to the increase in cost of these vaults, that the City may have to get some forms and go into the construction business for themselves. Mr. Liquin suggested that the City go ahead and approve these four vaults, as bid, then if they want to go into it themselves, they can.

Upon.a roll call, all members of the C -incil voted in the affirmf AGENDA ITEM 6D IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT FOR NEW SIDEWALKS No. 3 City Engineer's report: The City Council has directed the Engineering Department to prepare a report for the formation of a Sidewalk Improvement District for the installation of new sidewalks. The locations to be included in such a district are as shown on the attached map. The plans for the construction of said sidewalks are enclosed herewith. The specifications for the installation of the walks are the Standard Specifications for the Construction of Sidewalks, Curb and Gutter of the City of Fort Collins, which have been adopted by the City Council. The cost estimated for the district is as follows: Total assessable frontage 10,797.23 ft. Footage for City expense (alleys, corner lots) 1,600.00 ft. Total footage of sidewalk 12,397.23 ft. The estimated assessable construction cost for sidewalks (not including 17% administration) $3.75/ft. The estimated assessable construction cost for sidewalks, curb and gutter (not including 17% administration) $6.75/ft. Total estimated construction cost $3.75 x 12,169.23 ft. $45,634.61 $6.75 x 228 ft. 1,539.00 Total $47,173.61 Total estimated City expense $3.75 x 1,600.00 ft. $ 69000.00 — -- — - - -- --- --- October. 7, 1971 The City expense will cover the cost of sidewalk at alleys and at corner properties. Tne City does not normally pay for the cost of sidewalks at corner lots; in this case, however, there is no other equitable way to handle the distribution of cost. We would normally distribute the cost of the corner walks throughout the block, but with some owners installing their own, this will be impossible. The only reasonable method of handling the problem would be for the City to pay for the corners and then the assessment will be for the frontage that each owner has. The estimated cost per foot for sidewalk construction is somewhat on the high side, because of the nature of the project. It has been our experience in previous years on the sidewalk repair program that contractors will bid quite high when they will run into such problems as the removal of tree roots, the replacement of topsoil after removing forms, etc. On this improvement district the contractor will encounter such items as sod removal, tree roots, removal of shrubs and other related items. The contractors bidding on this will probably bid somewhat higher than is normal to cover such items that they may encounter. Because of this problem I recommend that the property owners be given time in which to have their sidewalks constructed individually, since this would give them further opportunity to obtain the lowest possible cost. I recommend that the construction of sidewalk, curb and gutter be delayed until May 1, 1972, to give ample opportunity to individuals to have the proposed work done privately. I propose to include a letter with the Notice of the District to the property owners to inform them of the opportunity to have the walks constructed individually. Those persons that have not constructed sidewalks will be notified of inclusion in the district, even though they may have a contract to have walks installed. It would be extremely difficult to check each contract to determine inclusion in a district. The final construction cost for the district will be less than the estimated cost, since some owners will have constructed their sidewalks individually. This will not affect the rate per foot, however, as each property owner will be assessed only for the walk constructed adjacent to his property. The south side of West Prospect Street, just east of Shields Street, does not have curb and gutter and that section of needed curb and gutter is included in this Sidewalk Improvement District. It is also necessary to provide for the administrative expense of processing the district. The following are recommended percentages of the total cost to cover each portion of the expense: Engineering 6% Legal and publication 2% Interest during construction 4% Collection and certification to county 5% TOTAL 17% In addition, the Council must set forth the period over which the cost of the improvement may be paid and the rate of interest which will be carried with the installments. It is recommended that these be ten years and 6 percent. Respectfully submitted, 1ply.M0.vo Roy A. Bingman City Engineer Councilman Lopez urged that all the people involved in this district be notified by registered mail and if not home, to hand deliver them. Motion was made by Councilman Fead, seconded by Councilman Peterson, that the report of the City Engineer be accepted. The City Manager stated that the district will be formed May 1, 1972, and if the side- walks are not installed by that time, they will be included in the district, and a 17% cost be assessed.

Location: 140 feet south of Crestmore Place, bounded by City Park Avenue on the east and the New Mercer Ditch on the west. Petitioner: Reid D. Pope Recommendation:The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at its October 4, 1971 meeting and recommends approval. Rick Cisar /s/ Acting Secretary After discussion, motion was made by Councilman Peterson, seconded by Councilman Lopez, that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board be approved and the matter be referred to the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution and Notice of Hearing. AGENDA ITEM 7B PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT Item 124-71. Consider replat of Lots 1 through 5 of Block 1, of Westgate First Filing. Developer: Foothills West Development Corp.; Alvin L. Miller, President Location; Bounded by Azalea Drive extended on the south, Banyan Drive on the west, and South Overland Trail on the east. Recommendation: The Planning and Zoning Board considered this item at its October 4, 1971 meeting and recommends approval. /s/ Rick Cisar Acting Secretary Councilman Lopez asked if Mr. Miller will develop according to the original plan, or will he depart from it, and asked the fee for filing plats. Don Reynolds, the Planning Director, said a total fee of $25.00 was charged for filing and recording, that they pro- bably make more on small -parcels, than on one large one.
