ordinance adopted on second reading
establishing funds
Mr. Alvin Kruchten, Auditor, stated the Ordinance would accomplish many
of the things mentioned in their letter of internal control. The
ordinance will have some effect on the audit which is being worked on.
Further, Mr. Kruchten stated the Ordinance will accomplish everything the
auditors had recommended with the exceptions, which will not require a
change itl the Ordinance. Not mentioned in the Ordinance was what would
be done with the Cemetery Fund, the Golf Fund or the Warehouse Fund;
this could be accomplished by direction to the Administration.
City Manager Brunton stated if Council desired special accounts, the
City would have to transfer, each year from the general fund, to the
various funds to make up the difference.
Councilman Bowling inquired if Mr. Kruchten, as Auditor for the City,
had recommendations concerning the funds. Mr. Kruchten stated these
were policy matters and lie would not have a firm recommendation.
Mr. Kruchten further informed the Council that Director of Finance,
Charlie Cain, will close the City's books by February 1, 1975 and have
financial statements prepared February 22, 1975, thereby allowing the
auditors to prepare the audit prior to March 1, 197S.
Councilman Bowling again requested a recommendation from Mr. Kruchten as
to the funds from an accounting standpoint.
City Attorney March stated the intent, in drawing the Ordinance, was to
put all the enterprises discussed in the general fund in such a way to
only require direction from the Council to do it differently and it can
be accomplished under the Ordinance.
Councilwoman Reeves inquired into the Golf Fund. Mr. Kruchten stated
there should be separate accounting for it, but it should not require a
separate fund.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves, to
adopt Ordinance No. 67, 1974 on second reading. Teas: Council members
Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Ordinance adopted. on second reading
amending the Zoning Ordinance relating
to R-M, Medium Density Residential
District Zoning
Associate Planner, Paul Deibel, and Director of Coriminity Development, Roy
Bingman, spoke to the foliowing Planning and Zoning report:
21
Z2
This proposed. change to the R-M_zone would allow
churches to be used as places for public assembly with incidental office- ,
space not to exceed 20% of floor area." The proposal is being made by Mercy
Chapel, current owners of the church on the southeast corner of Olive and
Whedbee streets to allow the Port Collins Board of Realtors to use the church
building for their office and meetings.
Evidently there is some urgency to the matter and it was brought before the
n City Council at its December 19 meeting. The Council passed the ordinance
on first reading and referred it Co the Board for a recommendation prior
to second reading on January 7. A letter of notification was sent to residents
of the Olive and Whedbee area.
Staff Recommendation:
The staff recommendation is favorable to allowing a use for old churches
that are too small.for use by most present-day congregations. We strongly
feel, however, that such "auditoriums or places of public assembly and inci-
dvntal office space" should be restricted to use on a non-profit basis to
maintain the consistency of the R-M zone which allows no commercial uses
and to avoid an every -night commercial rental auditorium situation in a
residential neighborhood. In the absence of this restriction we would recom-
mend denial.
Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation: Denial
After considerable discussion the Planning and Zoning Board considered this '
proposal at the meeting last night and voted 4 to 2 to recommend denial_
for the following three reasons:
1. The amendment would undermine the integrity of the R-M zone by allow-
ing commercial uses in what is now a strictly residential zone.
This could undermine the stability of existing R-M neighborhoods, many
of which are of fragile stability at present.
2. The amendment seems to be a special purpose ordinance designed
primarily in response to a specific request.
7. In practice, conversion of older churches or houses to office -
auditoriums would require additional variances to the zoning
ordinance in every case.
Council addressed the question of not allowing use of the church which would
cause it to deteriorate. Mayor Fead stated, as he understood it, variances
will be before the Zoning Board of Appeals.
City Attorney March spoke to the Planning and Zoning Board's concerns and
stated a good point had been made; that being that Council should go back
and draw, a definition of what is a place of. "Public Assembly", and try'
to'restrict it as much as possible. He would work with the P1anning.Staff ,
and bring it back as an amendment.

Funding of Community Education Program
Approved
City Manager Brunton addressed part of the following memorandum to the Council
on this subject:
In September, 1974 the Community Education Advisory Council asked the City
of Fort Collins for $10,000 to operate its Community Education Center in 1975.
This request was submitted too late to be coordinated by the Larimer County
Human Resources Committee. .Several discussions were held on this program. On
J� December 19, 1974 the Fort Collins City Council tentatively reserved $10,000
for community education in 1975, providing an acceptable plan for utilization of
Wthe money were received. On December 31, 1974 we received a working plan for
W community education submitted by the Community Education Advisory Council..
This plan calls for a joint coordinating council consisting of three persons
appointed by the School District and three persons appointed by the City Council.
Under the proposal the City of Fort Collins would act as the fiscal agent for
this project, except for the operating and maintenance costs at Laurel School.
This arrangement would be similar to the one that the City now has with the
Airport Board. It should be clearly understood that we would not spend more
than the $10,000 for direct or indirect costs, or whatever amount the Council
designates. To assure that this project gets off the ground, I could act as
Treasurer for the group, similar to my capacity with the Airport Board. En-
closed for you information is a copy of the working plan together wits a memo
I received earlier in December from four of our staff members on this program.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council authorize
a sum not to exceed $10,000 for its contribution to the Community Education
Pro Aram in 1975. This money w-uld he placed in a :special trust account in t ie
City of Fort Collins and be audited accordingly. We have a list of suggested
appointees to this joint council. It is hoped that we can have an Executive
Session on January 7, 1975 to discuss the three City appointments to this council.
Mayor Fead inquired who had drafted the "Working Plan for Community Education",
adding that he would have liked to have seen the names an the report accept-
ing responsibility for it.
Councilwomen Gray and Preble supported the concept. Councilmen Wilkinson,
Bowling and Fead expressed their concern with the funding and suggested the
committee seek outside funding, especially with the possibility- of not again
receiving Revenue Sharing Funds.
Councilman Russell expressed concern over who would have control. over the
Supervisor -Coordinator and the possible loss of fringe benefits to this
person working under the joint Council. City 0rnager Brunton stated this
is an area of concern and if this person were on the City payroll, he/she
' would receive S10,000 total pay with the fringe benefits. Council would
make this decision.

It was clarified that Council would be approving the working plan. City

report were: Tom Fraiser, Charles Porter, Jean Sutherland, and Gilbert
Carbajal.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, to approve

Buckingham Street.
The Board's reasons for choosing Buckingham Street over East Cherry Street
were first to identify the street with the area, and second to avoid any
confusion with Cherry Street.

Citizen Participation
1. Lou Stitzel from Neighbor to Neighbor, read the following communication:
To: City Council of Fort Collins
From: Designing 'Tomorrow Today and Neighbor to tiei_hbor, Inc.
Subject: Suggested membership in Ha?ion 5 Citizens Council, Inc., at a
membership fee of y4CD per year

Although the City Council has not hod time to designevte the Citizens
Perticipation or;-enizetion ns required by the Housing end Community Development
r Act of 1974, there in a need for the city to officially join now two FUD-
recognized Citizens Participation oraz.nizotions - the iagion b Citizens Council
and the _:etional ^.itizene Council. The cost of thin membership is d400 per year.
There are two questions that need answering:
1. Why join t,:e Aeeion a Citizens Council and National Citizans
Council, and
2. Why join. row?
' Let's consider the reasons for ioininr
1) As already indicated, the uoasing and Com-:unit: Development Act of
1974, requires a work-,ble Citizens F_rticipntion pr;F:.izetion. i. •.aor'rable

with the technical and hi_hly o»:ceaiorol povls of the Com.:cunity Dcvelop,sent
and Plsnning offieo. Joining the F.e,,ion 5 Citizens Council end i.etionul Citizens
Council would enable the Citizens 'articicetion or;aninztion to be designated by
the City Council to have specific technical nrid prureasional input to mr:tch the
stature of the City of Fort Collins Community Development and Flnnning depart -
tents. This would increese the affectivenesa oud coordination -cooperation of the
Citizens Fcrticipation group with local nlannin.- tad development.
2) The Reg,ior. 8 end ^.';.tionei Citizens Council not only provide independent
sources of techn.icol assistance anal nro"essional training to Citizens Froupc but
also supply resource3 of infor-crtion even HUD flocs not hove. A useful library,
including s veriety of via:usl rids in slso ,,veileble. e,ll are geared to essist
Citizen's oresnizstions to be of better service to their local government end
community.
3) The input from the .iq lon 6 end Xationil Citi.cna Councils Ere deoi; ned
and capable of worki:,g with exictin, orycnL,utzons, each La, Dr2, Cu.iz,

City Manager Brunton stated he wanied to introduce the new City Planner, Mr.
Les Kaplan, who was conversant with Community Development Act. Mr. Brunton
stated he and Mr. Kaplan would be attending a meeting on the Act, sponsored
by HUD and the Colorado Municipal League. Mr. Kaplan made comments on the
formulas provided for in the Act.
City Manager Brunton stated this item would again be discussed at the Work
Session on January 14, 1.975. No further action was taken on this item.
2. Mr. Charles Hagemeister introduced Mr. John Hughes, a member of the
heritage Committee of the local Centennial -Bicentennial Commission, who
presented plans to build a select replica of the Fort, established after Camp
Collins was closed in August 1864..
Mr. Hughes introduced Mr. Art Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Sundberg and Merta
Cook of the Committee. Mr. Hughes said plans for the reconstruction include I
six buildings; financing is expected to include federal and state aid to
match "local participation from citizens,
The land was first designated by the Council as a historical site on
November 13, 1969; the group is not seeking City funding, only that the
Council agree to set aside the City -owned land at the old City dump,
adjacent to the Poudre River for this project.
City Attorney March stated, if Council desired, all that was required
was
a motion to endorse the concept and authorize the use of the land for
that
purpose.
Councilman Russell made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling, to
endorse
the concept and authorize the use of the land. Yeas: Council members

Request of the Concerned Citizens for
Choice City Government Committee
Mr. Andy Anderson appeared before Council and requested that Council
recon-
sider its action on the Library site selection and that this item be
placed
on the ballot for the City's General Election in April, 1975.
Following are salient comments on this subject:
Councilwoman Preble stated .'II am opposed to putting it on the ballot because ,
of our decision was made on the basis of many reports setting relationships
of all the factors in the Capital Improvement program, discussion with con-
sultants and other people and the voters have not had the chance to have'all
this information and would not be voting on the facts. It is not a matter of
32
two equal choices; there are advantages and disadvantages to each one. Even
' the choice of these two sites was a matter of some study and decision making
before we reached that point. If it were to be voted on, I have had people
say they would like to be able to have a choice of some other sites in town;
for instance, Spring Creek Park, which is more where the center of population
is. And so we get into that whole issue. It includes many things involving
value judgements and so there is no clearcut answer, my values are never
going to completely coincide with someone else's, but they are going to affect
my knowledge and intelligence and my decision. I think that since this is
a value decision in many ways, if everyone, all the electorate , could study
as many things as we have, we would come up with the same kind of vote as
we did on the Council, and all it would prove is that it was a_difficult,
LM controversial decision and that half the people would lose the vote and
we would all lose many months of escalating construction costs. I feel
U
I was elected to make decisions after careful study of the facts, and it
W would be improper to turn this responsibility over whenever there was a
W difficult decision to make. I do not think that it is a matter of one
question, but many. Do you want to help renew the downtown area by keep-
ing the library downtown? Do. you want to have an art museum? Do you want
to tear down. the old library? Do you want parks in the older part of town?
Do you want to be able to expand the Pioneer Museum, the library and the
art museum? Do you want to assist economically disadvantaged parts of
town? And so forth. So it is not a matter of one question that you could
ask people to vote yes or no on, I think that it is up to the Council to
consider the total needs of the City and the best use of all the buildings,
' parks, etc., and it was still a very difficult decision for us to make, and
certainly not a clear cut one, but I do not think we would get anything
different by voting on it, and we would just lose time.
Councilwoman Gray stated: "I would like to respond to Andy. ' I think
he did ask two things; would the Council reconsider and would they place it
on the ballot? I think that if any Council person is asked to reconsider,
we will, if by that you mean vote again, either reaffinn, or if anyone wants'
to change their minds; I suppose they do have that right. I feel that it
was a difficult vote, and speaking for myself, six months ago, I would have
voted for the former site. In all honesty, most of the people who have
contacted me and most of the people who have sent letters, and most of the
people that I have run into casually said " where do you want to keep the
library:", or "where do you want to put the library?" they will say,
"keep it where it is." I will admit that, I think though that we have had to
make this decision, not on what what was popular or what was unpopular.
I think that there was a lot of soul searching on everyone°s part, to vote
for the present site, or for Washington Park. I do not bunk it was the
best decision, that either place was the best decision; but we had to made
a decision within a certain framework. What is and winat will be the long
tern result, how much money do we have to spend, and how can we tie it into
the entire City. We had to think of the effect of downtown redevelopment,
we had to talk about what does indeed happen to Lincoln Park when people
called me, and I mist say that the calls have really subsided over the last
couple of weeks, and I have had an opportunity to talk to a lot of people
about this, usually at Steele's -- oh, no commercials -- ar the supermarket
or in the shopping center or downtown at the Shfeway, or King Sooper's,
and it is very curious, because almost everyone said they .,anted to keep the
library where it was. I say, "Well, ,hat do you mean you want to keep
the library where it is?Fnd I'll get all kinds of replies. 'Nell, it is a
33
3.A
real waste of money to tear down That old building, let's use it as it is."
Then I will say, "You don't want a new library?" "No, not at all." Or '
someone will say "Let's put the library on those grounds." And I will say,
"l^Aiat do you do about the old library?" "Well, tear the ugly old thing
down." And then- you talk to someone else and they say, "How about that
beautiful library building, keep it there, build anew library, but don't
destroy that." Someone else will say, on the other hand, "Who needs that?
Who needs a new library? Build an addition, only use brownstone." And they
you say, "But what about room for the Pioneer Museum?" " Forget that old
dump, we dori't need that, tear down the Pioneer Museum." So what I am saying,
Andy, I think that you are right; I think that this is an issue that is
tearing the City apart. I think that all of us could use some more informa-
tion, but I think you are wrong when you say putting it on the ballot will
resolve the issue, because when you want to see hair stand on end.like
that, try resolving the problem then of what to do about that area.
I am not saying that the reason I voted for the Washington Park site was
to really avoid that problem, because I think we have an opportunity now for
two good areas. We have got a good, usable Lincoln Park, attractive, unique
across the state, a park that is used, a building that is structurally
sound, and will .be used, and I don't know if Mr. Wilkinson remembers this
or, not, but in Houston we had a conversation, and I can remember one of the
things he saidthe important thing, when we were discussing this, is that we
have got to have a good ink inative, useful library, and I don't think that
there is anyone on this Council that thinks otherwise. But, no, I would
vote against putting it on the ballot, because I don't think that the
citizens would be able to really express themselves on how they felt in '
that way. Of course, if the citizens initiate it, we are bound by it. But
I will have no part of putting it there; because I think it is a cop out."
Andy Anderson stated: 'Madame Gray, you know if this goes, if the citizens
have to go and petition to put this question on the ballot, and if this
question wins, this in effect is a vote of confidence, against the four
that voted for this site, and are now voting, possible voting not to put
it on the ballot. This in itself will be a vote of confidence from the
citizens, the voters, as to how they feel about how the Council's actions
are. I believe only two of you will remain on the Council unless Dr. Fead
and Madame Preble runs for re-election. I would like to ask this: "Since
this, in effect, will be a vote of confidence, will the other two of you
resign if this library site wins?"
Councilwoman Gray stated: "Under .no circumstances. I am afraid that I
am one of those tough cookies that will have to be thrown out. I mean that
quite seriously. I really think we were given the responsibility of this
decision, and in my own mind, after a lot of soul searching, this is what
I voted for. One of the papers said something to the effect, or a letter
to the editor said, " This is an ego trip." And I am not above having ego
trips because we all need then once in a while. I don't need ego trips like
this very often though. But seriously, I think that everyone on this
Council made a. decision with their hearts and souls."
Councilman Bowling stated: Mr. Mayor, I would like to answer part of that, '
and 1 would like to speak to the fact that I did and I was a part of the
minority vote on this particular .issue, and I would first of all like to
take great exception'to what Mr. Anderson has said, because Mr. Anderson
has not only intimidated this person on the Ca.ncil, but me too. And
Mr. Anderson, you know that I will not stand for intimidation from you or
from anybody else:

Andy Anderson stated: "Well, I don't think that I am trying to intimidate
you, sir."
Councilman Bowling: "T am not finished Mr. Anderson. I think that type of
a comment is totally uncalled for, that this is a vote of confidence for this
or that. Decisions are made and predicated upon facts; people read and soe
and understand facts differently. I was one of those people who still
understand the facts that were presented in a little different light than
which the majority voted, and I still hold with that. But I will hold with
that decision because those decisions were predicated on particular facts on
which I had the change to vote. The Council did vote, and I would tell
you that it is, I feel the right of the people, if they wish to take it
to the ballot by referendum, that is the right and the right should never be
taken from the people, because, if you take that right, you destroy repre-
sentative government. But for you to come here and to say that it is a vote
of confidence on this Council, I think is totally wrong, because then, I
think you are destroying the very issue that we are looking at, and that is
the proper site for Council. And so I take issue with you Mr. Anderson, and
I tell you that you are wrong."
Anderson: Anytime, Mr. Bowling, that the people feel that this Council has
acted against their will, you can bet it is the American way to see that that.
Council is removed. Now, if a question goes on the ballot, that questions
the actions of. this Council, and it is affirmed by the voters, don't tell me
that is not a vote of confidence. And irregardless of the way the people,
the voters feel, you are bound and determined that you are going to set there.
Am I correct in interpreting it that way? Regardless of how the voters
feel on this issue, or any action."
Councilwoman Preble: Who are you talking about as the voters? Do you know
what everyone in this community would vote on this, is that what you are saying?"
Councilwoman Reeves: "I would not resign either Andy. If I had voted
irresponsibly, I think that is one thing. But this is just one isolated
issue, and I would not resign on that. I think it would be irresponsible on
my part to resign over just one issue. If I had been doing a'consistently
terrible job of representing the people on many, many issues, I think that is
another thing."
Mayor Fead: "I would like to connnent on this for moment, since I am the
other one that voted in favor of the site. I would like to point out that
the decision was reached after careful study, it was by no means arbitrary
as has been implied by many of the publications. Basically, it is a three
part decision; the first part was, it was decided that the library should go
on City owned land, which restricted us very much as to choice of location.
The second part was, that it should be located in the downtown area to help
bolster the downtown area. And the third part of the decision was then
that it should be in Washington Park, as opposed to Lincoln Park and in
favor of that particular decision, we had a master plan by our former City
Planner, Bill Kane, we had a report from the Barton-Aschman Consulting
Finn, we had staff studies, we had a recommendation from a committee -of
DTT, and we had a request from the Landmark Commission that we not alter or
destroy the current building. On the other hand, we had a recommendation
from the Library Board offered before any of the studies or facts were
presented to them, that it stay where it is. We have a library, that has been
in the same place for 70 years. It is not at all surprising that therc.is
35
456
a lot of sentiment for keeping it there. But I think, if you take a look
at it, you will understand that there is more than just: a book depository
contemplated for the new library. It is going to be a cultural center which '
will generate much more traffic by 1979, it estimated that the staff will
more than double, the library consultants, not the planning consultants or
anybody else, but the library consultants said that the economies of scale
were with a single central library up to a population of 75,000 which we
have not reached as yet. At 75,000, they recommend that we consider branch
libraries. If the economies of scale are with us up to that point, then the
traffic should be expected to increase more than the staff. So we would
expect more than double the amount of traffic, hopefully it will be greater
than that if the cultural aspects of the center are as successful as we hope
they will be. So the perimeter parking that is available in the vicinity
of Lincoln Park is not sufficient, no way. And that means that we have to
take a look at where we put the parking; the City budget is very limited.
The City budget for next year is going to be much more limited than it is
for this year. To acquire commercial property is very difficult, and
expensive, and if we limit ourselves to that, it is going to be even more
so. To acquire residential property in that area is going to displace
people from housing, for which even if they get a fair appraised price, they
will not be able to replace it. And there are a lot of retired people living
over in that area who will end up being forced into one of the retirement
communities or one of the rest homes if we do this. I, p.+ersonal.lv,, don't
feel comfortable with that sort of decision. We have also received a
communication from the Fort Collins Friends of the Library which says in
part: "We support the Washington Park site approved by the City Council at
their December 12th meeting: There was ample opportunity for citizen input '
regarding the site selection prior to the Council's decision. DDT sponsored
a series of informational meetings, two poorly attended public forums were
held, and tbe�Council discussed the issue at several meetings. Ile, there-
fore urge the City to proceed with construction without delay." We are by
no means simply sitting here arbitrarily making a decision. Now, I think
if the matter is to go on the referendum, that I should eery much like to see
the public review all three parts of that decision. Because it has been
pointed out to me by a number of citizens that perhaps the library should be
much closer to the corner of Prospect and College than the downtown area,
because that is closer to the growing area of Fort Collins. The Foothills
Fashion Mall has been suggested as a nice location. I think all of the
things should be considered by the public. I don't think- it should just
be the one decision between Lincoln Park and Washington Park. And I feel
very strongly that, personally, that what the Council has decided on all
three counts is in the best interests of the City."
Library Board President, Sarah Bennett, suggested that a ccnsnittee be formed
to study all of the reports made on the library and to discuss ary recom-
mendations for both sites were made.
Messers Watrous and Shepardson also spoke to the subject.
Ordinance adopted on second reading are*idiing
the Code relating to rates for the ln'ater Utility
Mr. Neal Morehart, 220 Ridgelawn Drive, requested that Council review the '
rates being charged to water customers on City lines outside the City limits,
adding the present rates for country metered customers are disproportionately
high.

Mr. M Mara Hansen, Water Resources Consultant, inquired what percentage of
the increase would be used to pay for new growth. City Manager Brunton
responded to the inquiry, stating that at the time the Water Board made
their recommendation to the Council on the increases, it was based on the
Black and Veatch Rate Study.
City Attorney March stated there had also been an increase in the Plant
Investment Fee which was designed to require that growth pay for the
cost of gronath.
Councilwoman Gray. inquired into the status of the water meter report. City
Manager Brunton stated this item would be addressed at the work session.

Vacation of Utility Easements in the Extension
of K-Mart Plaza Subdivision approved
Director of Community Development, Roy Bingman, stated this. is a request
for a vacation of a utility casement in conjtoiotion with the K-Mart site;
the easement involved is in an area previously requested and approved by the
Council of the ;Market building at the north end of the building.

45
The request'is for a vacation where the addition will be. The complicating
factor is that Albertson's has concluded an agreement with Naradel, the
utilities are in place and Albertson's want to know that the easement will be
vacated before theygo ahead with their building permit. A further com-
plication is that Council has expressed concern about the landscaping that
has not been installed as agreed upon. Naradel has agreed to post a $20,000
bond to assure that this will be taken care of.
City Attorney March stated the Council, at this meeting, was not being asked
to vacate the easement, they are being asked to commit'to 'vacate it when
the conditions are met. He had reviewed the bond, and it is not in satis-
factory form at this time. He. therefore, recommended that, if Council
u� desired, they agree that they will vacate the utility easement upon a
satisfactory bond being filed and upon the existing utilities being relocated.
WMr. Jack Williams of the First National Bank explained that Albertson's
problem was a matter of timing.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell, to agree
to vacate the utility easement at such time as a bond satisfactory to the
City Attorney's office is filed and the utilities are relocated in 'a new
easement satisfactory to the departments concerned. Yeas: Council
members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson.

' Airport Master Plan referred to DT2
Airport Committee
City Manager Brunton read the following letter from the City of Loveland:
Dear Mayor Fead and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Council:
Reference is made to the proposed Airport Master Plan
and related Environmental Impact Assessment for the Fort -
Collins -Loveland Municipal Airport.;
The Loveland City Council_ discussed this matter at
their January 6, 1975 study session.' Based on this dis-
cussion the Council directed me to _provide you with their
initial position on this matter:
The overall objective of the Loveland Council is to
maintain the existing airport in as strong a position
as possible in order to protect the existing investment
of the two cities in the facilitv.'`Thus, the Council
does not see the Master. Plan as an ultimate goal in it-
self, but as a guide for the development of the airport
if and when the need dictates.
Within this framework, the Council feels that the
following factors should be used as, goals and objectives
for the airport:
45
4 CG:
.V
1. The airport should be expanded to meet the nor-
mal growth needs of general aviation for the two
cities. -
2. The airport should be expanded to eliminate ex-
isting safety problems.
3.-.Additional industrial development, if any, should
pay its fair share of any improvements that are
required beyond the normal growth and'safety
needs.
4. Zoning and land use protection should be initiated
immediately by Larimer County.
5. Other than small comawter air service, the air-
port should not be developed as a full service
commercial jet passenger facility.
Finally, the Council definitely feels that the two
city councils should meet in the near future in an attempt
to arrive at a mutually acceptable decision. However,
they were also aware of the fact that you would be
discussing this matter at your January 7, 1975 meeting.
Thus, they Wanted me to make you acaare of their position.
Sincerely yours,
(CITY OF LOVELAND
Don W. Hataway
;City Manager.
City INta_nager Brunton also inquired how Council washed to proceed with the Airport
Committee of DT2:
Mayor Fead commented on statements made by Council members and added that
the cities need a master plan, the letter from Loveland indicated some basis
for an agreement. He would like to receive the continents from the Airport
DTZ Committee and the Airport Board.
Councilman Wilkinson stated that if. Council requested input from DTZ Airport
Committee, that they -should give them some guidance.
City Manager Brunton suggested that the DT2 group should meet with the Council
and get direction and the City Councils of Loveland and Fort Collins should
meet.

Agreements with Architectural Firms
UJ for various public buildings approved
W
1. Library Everett and Zeigel, Boulder, Colorado.
City Manager Brunton stated that since the Library and the City Hall will.
be in the same block, it is essential that there be a master plan. Everett
and Zeigel will work with Robb and Brenner.
The City Attorney's recommendation is as follows:
Library Building. This agreement is also on the standard AIA form. The
compensation to the architect is set forth on page 2 and provides for a fee,
that is either fixed at $125,000.00 or based on time plus direct expenses,
as set forth in Article 14. Additional services are to be paid for on a
time plus direct expense basis, except that a maximum fee for some additional.
services is set forth. I was also furnished an alternate which would set
the fee on a percentage of construction cost of time plus expense charge,
whichever is less. In both cases you should review the additional services
listed under 1.3 since these would be in addition to the, hase fee under
either the percentage of construction costs method or the fixed fee method.
I would further recommend that the same changes that were made to the basic
form on the Colorado Building agreement be made to this agreement, also, it
should be noted that the Everett-Zeigel agreement on the library anticipates
possible site difficulties with the presently selected site and provides
that the percentage fee is not to be adjusted if the site is changed prior
to the completion of the schematic design phase.
Councilwoman Preble made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson. to
approve the contract with Everett and Zeigel for architectural services for
the library with the changes recommended by the City Attorney. Yeas:
Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson.
Nays: None.
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling, to
' approve the following recommendation:
The Library Board should be designated as the primary advisory group in work-
ing with the architect on the function, programs and design of the new build-
ing. A great deal of the work has been done by Gibson and Rohlf, the
Library consultants. The final preliminary design should be reviewed by
010
the Library Board and recommendation made to the City Council. Yeas: '
Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson.
Nays: None.
2. City }fall remodeling and addition Robb and Brenner.
City Attorney's comments:
Municipal Building Agreement. The fee proposed is based on a
percentage of the construction cost as set forth on page 2 of the agreement.
We prepared this agreement using the basic AIA form. Amendments sere made
on the standard form striking from additional services matters pertaining
to investigation of the existing facility to be remodeled, since it appears
this should be part of the basic services. In reviewing this you should
note particularly the items listed under paragraph 1.3 which are classified
as additional services and for which the Architect will be paid additional
compensation over the percentage of construction cost. We also made a
change in the basic form so that it would be clear that the multiplier
to be used in computing pay for additional services is to be based upon
the employees' salary without consideration of cost of other employee
benefits. We also changed the agreement to provide that the work product
is to be the property of the City; however, the City would not be able to
use this product without the written agreement of the Architect.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, to '
approve the contract with Robb and Brenner for the City Hall remodeling and
addition. Yeas: Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves,
Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
3. Fire Station or Stations and 'Draining Facilities -- Jim Cox, Fort Collins,
Colorado.
City Manager Brunton and the City Attorney spoke to the subject.
Folowing are the City Attorney's comment:
Training Facility for Fire Department. This agreement also
.provides for compensation based on a multiplier of principals' and
employees' time. There is no top figure on this agreement and if one
is intended, it should be added. I would recommend that the same changes
be made to this agreement as were made to the agreement with Robb $ Brenner
on the Colora.dean Building.
Fire Station "A". The Architect's compensation under this agree-
ment is to be a flat fee plus expenses based upon applying a rau'_tiplier to
salaries. You should note that the multiplier is more for additi.caal
services than for basic services and you should therefore review care+:ugly
the items set forth under 1.3 to determine if any of these should b
reclassified as basic services. You should also note on page 2 thaa the
agreement contemplates completion within eight months. This may be a '
reasonable time frame; however, we would recommend that a longer time
s0
5 1::.
be used so thatit is not necessary to renegotiate the agreement. Under
' the City Charter we can have personal service agreements up to two years
without renegotiation. Again, you should note that there is no top figure
for the total payment to the Architect. We would recommend that the same
changes be made to this agreement as were made to the Robb $ Brenner
agreement on the Coloradoan Building.
Fire Station "B". The same comments made with regard to the
Fire Station "A" agreement are applicable.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Russell, to
approve the architectural agreement with James A. Cox for Fire Station or
00 Stations and Training facilities with the changes recommended by the City
.••a Attorney. Yeas: Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves,
C.j Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
W
4. Auditorium -- Stearns -Rogers, Denver, Colorado.
City Attorney March stated the only comment he
had made was the basic
owner-
ship of the documents.
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by
C".uicilwoman Gray, to
approve
the agreement iith Stearns -Rogers for the auditorium
with the change
recom-
mended by the City Attorney. Yeas: Council
members Bowling, Fead,
Gray,
Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays:
None.
5. Remodeling Coloradoan Building -Robb and
Brenner, Fort Collins,
Colorado.
Councilman Russell stated he would like to "make another statement concerning
the use of the Coloradoan (Building). I would like to give you some reasons
why I feel the Coloradoan is a good location and building for the Police
Department. I accept the design as not being efficient for a Police Station.
I do not accept the premise that it can't be remodeled into a very efficient
station. I accept the fact that it has 22,800'square feet, which is -more
than required in,,the report. I also say to you as Bob has mentioned that
within 6 to 8 months, according to Art and Judge Miller, we will have to
have a new City Court, and that this is a prime location for the City Court
in the Police Station
I question the location of a Parks and Recreation facility there using the
same premise that the Library is not good for *_fiat area. then neither would
the Recreation Department complex be good for that area. I also suggest to
you that the Parks and Recreation is desperately in need or'a building, but
it. is not necessarily that building. That perhaps a better building would
be the Number 2 Fire Station which we have the possibility of abandoning,
which is next and near by the park facilities. That oTould be a better loca-
tion than the Coloradoan Building for uses which are listed, fun -time, for
instance, we could take out of their program.
' The other point I ti;,antod.to make is that while the memorandum suggests that
there is.a weakness of parking in the area, the Police Department would use
less park -big than recreation, and of an entirely different nature. Then
if we proceed with making Remington Street a through street, I should not
think we would encourage parking along that area. I also want to suggest
51
O Z,
that that alleyway is a very unique alleyway because it goes north and south
and it also goes east and west. It makes a "T" type alley and talking, with
some of the merchantsin the area, if we close the top half of the "T", therefore '
making it an "D' alley, we would gain considerable parking for either Parks
and Recreation or a Police Station. I think there is some valuable space to
be picked up there. In relation to the possibility that we have a Criminal
.Justice Center of combined facilities with the City and the County, I think
you are talking so many years ahead of the time we may not be ready for it. I
think you are probably reading the County right when you are hearing from
them, that there is no great objection to a combined jail with the City, and
perhaps combined communications. I think that you are failing to realize
that the other connection is quite a long way off. That is all I have to
say about it, except one more thing I almost forgot. If you move the Police
Station from City Hall, and the Police Station is in trouble now because
they are in real bad cramped quarters, we are paying rent across the street
of how much, Charlie? $500.00 a month to ease them along. If you would
take the Police Station out of this building, then you will come up with 'T'
amount of square footage to be used by the City's Administration. And, in
truth, there will be a great deal of remodeling cost there, but it is still,
in my opinion, cheaper than considering the new City Hall, or whatever!'
Councilman Bowling spoke to the parking area, adding he did not feel a Police
building,_ on that site would generate revenue, as would the Parks and Recrea-
tion Department.
City Manager Brunton also addressed the possibility of using the Fire Station
sites for Parks and Recreation areas. ,
Councilman Wilkinson spoke to the possible use of the old power plant site
and how it will be utilized.
City :Manager Brunton also addressed the Remington Street question.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray, to establish
that the Col.oradoan Building will be used for Parks and Recreation purposes.
Yeas: Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble and Reed=es. Nays:
Council members Russell and Wilkinson.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Preble, to
approve the architectural agreement with Robb and Brenner, Fort Collins,
Colorado, for remodeling the Coloradoan Building. Yeas: Council members
Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
b. Addition to Pioneer i:usewm -- Robb and Bremer, Fort Collins, Colorado,
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Counci mwu Wilkinson, to approve
the architectural agreement with Robb and Brenner for the additinn to the
Pioneer Muse'xn and that the Pioneer i,fuseuun Board be designated to work with
the architects. Yeas: Council members B�vlling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves,
Russell and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves, to author- '
ize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute all of the agreements. Yeas:
Council members Bowling, Fead, Gray, Preble, Reeves, Russell and Wilkinson,
Nays: None.

Other Business
Councilman Russell stated he wanted to make a suggestion to the Council, that
an acquisition of park land; a policy be established, wherein the developer
would bring the plans to the Conceptual Review Committee, then to H. R.
Phillips to determine the feasibility of a park in the area, thus allowing
the City to determine whether they wish to purchase at that time.
City Manager Brunton stated H. R. Phillips would be brought more completely
into the Conceptual Review Committee.
No further action was taken on this item.
