The following memo from the City Attorney was presented and read at length: Febru2ry.3, 1969 MEMO TO CITY COUNCIL FROM CITY ATTORNEYS OFFICE Gentlemen: The general city election will be held in April of 1969. At this election it will be proper to submit for a vote of the people any proposed amendments to the Charter of the City of Fort Collins. In this connection, the members of the Council have indicated thatythey would like to consider the amendment of provisions of the Charter regarding the following: 1. Article XIX, Section 1 of the Charter provides for the Planning and Zoning Board to consist of five members with the City Manager and the Mayor to serve as ex officio members. As ex officio members of this Board the City Manager and the Mayor have had the right to vote on all matters before the Board. It has been suggested that the provision making the City Manager and the Mayor ex officio members of the Board be deleted and that the appointe membership of the Board be increased to seven members. Attached hereto is a proposed ordinance which would accomplish this. 2. Article II, Section 4 of the Charter provides that the Mayor and the Assistant Mayor shall be elected from the Council for a term of two years. It has been suggested that this term be reduced to a period of one year. An appropriate ordinance to accomplish thisis attached hereto 3. Dawson, Nagel, Sherman_ and Howard, Bond Attorneys, in Denver, have reviewed the Charter with relation to the provisions affecting bonds. They have made many suggestions of changes which might be made. These may be summarized as follows: .(a) Amend the Charter so as to reduce the period required for sale of bonds. (b) Add provision making it clear that the 15 mill limitation does not apply to levies for bond purposes. (c) Amend the Charter to permit the issuance of a wider variety of revenue bonds without an election. (d) Amend the Charter so as to delete the provision prohibiting issuance of refunding bonds less favorable to the City than the original issue without an election. (6) Amend the Charter regarding final maturity of bond issues so as to eliminate any inconsistency between the Gtate constitution and the Charter provision. (f) Amend the Charter regarding additional security for special assessment 256 February 6_,_l969 (g) Amend the Charter so as to permit calling a bond election other than at the..regular bi-annual election. 11 (h) Amend the Charter regarding the requirements for prior redemption of bonds. (i) Amend the Charter - amend the definition of elector. Attached hereto is a copy of the letter fromsuch bond attorneys. In view of the fact that both the liquor issue and the sales tax issue will be on the ballot at this election, it is our recommendation that no attempt be made at this time to amend the provisions of the Charter regarding the issuance of bonds. It is felt that although these may not be entirely satisfactory, there is nothing which is so unworkable as to absolutely necessitate a change. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Arthur E. March, Jr. Assistant City Attorney After discussion, the following ordinance was presented on first reading: 0 a� ORDINANCE NO. 10, 1969 BEING AN ORDINANCE SUBMITTING TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS THE QUESTION OF AMENDING SECTION 1 of ARTICLE XIX OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS Motion was made by Councilman Kruchten, seconded by Councilman Kissock, that Ordinance No. 10, 1969, be considered favorably on first reading and ordered published this 6th day of February, A.

Hartwell in Loveland, Colorado. Said attorneys reviewed the contract which has been proposed by Earnest G. Hartwell to be enterer into betweai all of the cities and to replace the contract previously signed by some of the cities. Various changes were made in the contract and it is the opinion of all of the attorneys who were present at said meetag that the contract as revised should be entered into by the cities. It was also the opinion of the attorneys at the meeting that the Six City Water Committee should be specifically charged with the obligation to furnish a report to the councils of the cities involved making recommendations concerning certain matters which either are of concern right now or will be of concern in the future. These matters upon which the attorneys felt a recommendation should be made by the committee are as follows: 1. It must be determined as soon as possible what vehicle will beused by the 258 Fe.b.r_uar_y 6_,_19.6-9 cities to develop and hold any water rights to be acquired. Particularly, determination should be made whether or not to form a subdistrict under the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District or to form a mutual water company or to do every thing in the name of one city or one individual with contracts from the cities or to obtain nes enabling legis- lation and form a new district. In addition, a time table should be developed setting forth the appropriate time for formation of such entities as may be desirable. 2. Definite recommendations should be made by the committee regarding the shar- ing of,costs in any project under contemplation and the sharingof any water to be develop e 3. The committee should investigate and made recommendations concerning the feasibility and methods to be used for financing. Consideration of this point will involve consideration of item one above. Also, it should be determined whether it is advisable to issue bonds either revenue or based on taxing abilities and whether appli- cation should be made to the Federal Government for assistance in any project. 4. The possiblity of other projects to be considered. 5. A specific time table should be recommended for the Windy Gap project. 6.
