May 5, 1964 The Fort Collins City Council Fort Collins, Colorado Gentlemen: In accordance with our conference of April 29 with the Fort Coliins City Council, I have been instructed by the Library Board to request that the existing rental contract between the City and the -Fort Collins Women's Club, which provides for the rental of the Library Auditorium, be terminated. As you know, this agreement, which was executed in 1958, was to run for a period of ten years, but provided for cancellation by the City of Fort Collins at any time the area was needed for public use. Because the library is in urgent need of more space, and because the auditorium comprises almost one-fourth of our building, the board had concluded that this area should be remodeled and used for library purposes. Although our request is made with considerable reluctance, since our relationship with the Women's Club and the other groups using the auditorium has been a long and pleasant one, rapidly increasing demand for library services and the resulting necessity for more work space leaves us no alternative. Yours sincerely, THE FORT COLLINS LIBRARY BOARD /s/ Ronald H. Strahle Mrs'. V. 0. Coffin, Chairman of the Library Board, spoke in reference to the nec- essity of additional room in the Library and requested the Council to act upon the revoca- tion of the rental as stated above. After discussion, motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Guyer, that the request of the Library Boa rd be approved and the City Attorney notify the Fort Collins Women's Club that the rental contract would be terminated, July 1, 1964. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Guyer and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.

The following communication was presented and read at length: May 4, 1964 To:' Mayor and City Council From: R. F. Bood, City Manager Subject: Walnut Hotel Parking The letter of Mrs. Hazel Swartz requesting parking privileges for transient guests .on Walnut Street in front of the Walnut Hotel between the hours of 2 A.M. and 6 A.M., pre- sented to and discussed by the City Council at their meeting of April 23rd, 1964, was referr Ito the City Manager for investigation. The City Ordinance providing for no parking between the hours of 2 A.M. and 6 A.M. to facilitate street cleaning and snow removal operations has been in effect for some time. The Ordinance is now being actively enforced and it is our intent to improve both street cleaning and snow removal operations in the down -town area. It would be neither legal nor proper to allow.parking privileges fora particular business under the ordinance: The ordinance could be changed to place the regulation into effect on alternate sides of the street, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. This would not seriously affect street cleaning operations but would significantly handicap snow removal operations. Such a policy would be generally more confusing in that people would have to exercise more care to observe on which side of a particular street parking was permitted any particular day. If ouch a change were made, the estimated cost of additional signs would be approximately $300.00 In view of the fact that there may be a signaficant change in down -town on -street parking in the near future as a result of studies currently under -way, it is suggested that there be no change in this parking regulation at this time. Respectfullyy-submitted, /sl R. F. Boos, City Manager Motion was made by Councilman Guyer, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the recommendation of the City Manager be approved and the parking hours remain as they are at Ithe present time.

We have a 6 inch main in this area, which is the same size as 80% of our City sanitary sewer mains. The grade of the pipe is 1%, which is trice the requirement of our minimum standards. We have found no indication of tree roots or broken tile in this area. The sewer main is 9 feet -deep his location. The problem aeises when persons flush rags, disposable diapers, etc., down the sewer, and thses items settle in the line and consequently plug the main. The sewer service into Mr. Holmes basement is almost the same level as the sewer main, and -any stoppage of the main bac into his basement immediately. Our sewer maintenance crews are checking and flushing this area now as part of our preventa- tive maintenance program. I would recommend that Mr. Holmes install a check valve on the drain in his basement, so that sewage will not backflow into his home. Yours very truly, /s/ G. J. Weiss Public Works Director.

Boos, City Manager City of Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Sir: The City Council on February 6, 1964, approved a 90 day trial period for no park- ing on the North side of the West half of the 100 Block East Prospect. I would recommend that this become a permanent part of our -Ordinance. The City Council on the same date ordered the removal of the 2 hour parking signs in the 200 block South Howes Street, except for the area on the east side from the alley South to Olive. I would recommend that our Ordinance be amended to remove the 2 hour park- ing restriction for the entire block. On April 9, 1964, a delegation from the Holy Family Church School appeared before the City Council and requested that the stop sign be placed at their corner requiring Cherry to stop for Whitcomb. Traffic counts taken at this intersection show the following vehicles per day coming into the intersection. Cherry East bound 750 V.P.D. Cherry West bound 950 it Whitcomb North bound 275 Whitcomb South bound 150 I would recommend that no change be made at this intersection until after our Traffic Consultant has had a change to study the problem. When our Code of Ordinances was last revised, Roverside Avenue was omitted from Section 23-177, which prohibits parking at all times on certain streets. I would recommend that the Ordinance be amended to include this revision. Very truly yours, /s/ G. J. Weiss, City Engineer.

The following report was presented and read at length: FIRE DEPARTMENT Ft. Collins, Colo. May 6, 1964 To: Robert Boos, City Manager City of Ft. Collins, Colo. REFERENCE: East Side Lumber Co., Fire Recommendations Dear Sir: The following report is submitted for your information. 'The records of fires and responses were taken from our daily logs and fire tickets. Recommendations for water to assist in fire fighting has been given at various times. Fire cisterns in various locations throughout the area would be feasable. There is, at present, one approved burner for the entire area, however the North end of the lumber co. burns on the 'open ground, which is a serious threat to the entire operation. Sawdust, scrap lumber, and trash is allowed to accumulate, therefore increasing the fire hazard. Finished and Semi- finished lumber is atacked too close together to allow fire fighters to contain it to a definite area. Part of the railroad right of way andr'ditches become filled with sawdust and scrap lumber, and it is practically impossible to burn weeds along either one of these 1 locations, thereby increasing the fire danger. In summarizing the situation, it is a serious threat to its own operation, this proven by the number of fires in the past few years. It is also a hazard to the new growth of the city and its residential area . It is the Fire Departments recommendation that steps be taken to provide adequate water supply either in the form of fire cisterns or wells, and the entire area be cleaned up and maintained in that order. That inspections, in the future showing any fire hazard, will be promptly taken care of by the owners. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Chief, C. R. Carpenter Fire Department 11 1 May 7, 1964 TheCity Attorney advised the Council and recommended that a clause be necessitatec with the Fort Collins Fire Protective District that any one in the district refusing to comply with the Fire Department's requirements, will -not be able to get fire protection until the„fire preventive recommendations have been complied with. The City Attorney advised the Council that bids were opened on copper wire on Wednesday, May 6, 1964.
