FORT COLLINS
November 7, 1963 BUILDING CORPORATION
City Council
City of Fort Collins
Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Council Members:
We would like to submit for your consideration the following facts and figures concerning
our electrical needs and uses in our building complex to be constructed in the area bounded
by Canyon, Oak and Meldrum Streets. The following computations are based on primary meter-
ing of individual tenants:
Savings to the City:
Capital expenditures-
39 meters & sockets @ $30 ea . ................... $ 1,170.00
Installation of above @$5 ea. ................... 195.00
3 transformers @ $"1,500 ea. (incl. conn.)........ ,500.00
Total capital expenditure savings ............................. 5,865.00
Maintenance costs (per annum)
39 meters @ $5 per meter 195.00
Meter reading & accounting (39 meters) 240.00
201
November 7, 1963
Total maintenance cost savings .............................. $ 4-35.00
Savings for Owner:
Capital expenditures -
Distribution costs (40 separate wiring
systems as opposed to one system)........., $ 9,138.55
Branch circuit distribution- Six floors @
$1,462.50 (1st floor fixed) ............ 8,775.00
Total .capital expenditure savings ......................... $$17,913.55
Contingent costs -
Remodeling of space (Based on vacancy of 15%)
$1.10 per ft. on secondary $6,600.00
.35 " " " primary 2,100.00
Difference between systems ............. 4,500,00
Space savings-
15 s4. ft. per floor @ $$3.65 X 6 floors 328.50
Total annual savings ..................................... $a 4,828.50
In addition to the above, we beg of you to bear in mind two very important factors;
1. We do not consider that we are in any way selling electrical energy because:
a. In 60% of the leases already negotiated we were requested to bid the space
at a figure that included electricity.
b. With a majority of the remaining leases, we were ask6d to quote a lease
figure that included electricity to avoid the indefiniteness of fixed opera-
ting costs (which is the manner in which almost all office space is leased
in other cities).
2. With an investment of this proportion, flexibility of the building is of prime
importance. With today's building costs, the difference between a return on the
investment or a loss is, in many instances, the vacancy rate. We have been advise(
by good authority that the best way to hold our vacancy to a minimum is to build it
a high degree of flexibility by using a flexible electrical system, moveable parti-
tions, etc. We must be in a position to expand or contract our space to the need:
of our tenant's or prospective tenants.
It is our most sincere wish that the Council look favorably upon granting a rate for pri-
mary electricity that in our humble opinion can be done without a loss in income, taking
the above calculations into consideration. By so doing, we may use an electrical distribu-
tion system that will allow the all-important flexibility be built into the building-- a
flexibility that we feel could be the difference between the building being an asset or a
liability.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Gale E. Heiman
Executive Vice President
City Manager Boos advised the Council that the above request would involve a
change of policy in service connections before an agreement, as requested, could be made.
During discussion of the matter, Councilman McMillan recommended that a study be made in
order that requests of the future of like nature could be handled if such -a policy -and rate
would be feasible. After further discussion, motion was made by Councilman Johnson,
seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the above request be denied but that the City proceed
to make a study for future policies and rates of this type. Roll was called resulting as
follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Honstein and Councilwoman Quinn.
Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.

November 7, 1963
City Council of Fort Collins
Attention: Harvey Johnson, Mayor
948 West Mountain Avenue
ort Collins, Colorado
ear Mr. Johnson:
Strict enforcement of parking control ordinances are essential if we are to gain the maximum
benefit from our street parking on metered and controlled areas. Enforcement becomes even
more important at those seasons which traditionally draw a largenumbers of people to shoppin,
areas to make purchases. Such a shopping season comes during November and December.
The Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce Urban Improvement Committee and Retain Counci
rge the City of Fort Collins to renew its efforts to provide a strict enforeement program
t thhis time. The enforcement program should discourage parkers who occupy metered space
or long periods of time. We feel that a meter parker should be limited to -two hours on any
ne space. Stricter enforcement may require more personnel and we urge that this move be

approved it it is required.
The Chamber of Commerce plans.• to launch a campaign to encourage employees to park away
from the reatricted and metered areas.
Thank you for ,your att ention to this request.

Mr. Robert F. Boos, City Manager
City of Fort Collins, Colorado
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to a request by Mr. Ghent, Mr. Owen and Mr. Carpenter, for in-
stallation of Parking Meters in the 100 Block LaPorte Avenue and the 200 Block North Colleg
Avenue.
I would recommend that the meters be installed, under the following conditions.
(1) That the existing unused curb cuts be removed and have t he curb and
gutter replaced to permit public parking in these spaces.
(2) That the parking in the 100 Block LaPorte Avenue be revased to confo
to the attached Plan A. This plan will eliminate many of the safety
hazards now existing in this area and will permit a faster traffic
movement
Yours very truly,
/s/ G. J. Weiss
City Engineer.
Motion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the
Council approve the recommendations of the City Engineer presented above. Roll was called
resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Honstein and Council-
woman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declaredt he motion adopted.
The City Attorney advised the Council that the letter from the Hospital in refer -
be
ences to the changes to/made for patients as indicated in the letter of October 24, 1963,
needed more study and recommended that he.and the City Manager be allowed more time for
report on same. This was approved.
The City Attorney advised the Council that the contract for the erection of Soldif
Canyon Reservoir No. 2 by the Van Winkle Construction Company was ready for approval and tha
bond had been furnished and asked if they were ready for a resolution approving the executic
of said contract. The Mayor advised the Council that Mr. Van Winkle and the Engineer's
would be present for discussion of this contract around 4:00 P.M. and suggested that the
matter be tabled until after said meeting.
Mr. Gene E. Fischer of 1201 Westward Drive appeared before the Council protest-
ing the street light that was in the program for the lighting of Westward Drive which would
be placed immediately in his front yard corner and a very short distance of his master bed-
room. No action was taken to the protest at this time as the district has not been created.
The City Manager presented a report on the lighting for North College Avenue.
It appears that the petitioner for the light district on North College Avenue wished the
there
light to be placed along the curb. The City Engineer reported that inasmuch as/was no
curb and gutter on North College Avenue, that the placing of street lights would have to be
protected in some way from the traffic. He suggested street lighting in the center of the
207
street with median strips to divide the traffic and presented a plan showing the proposed
system. There was consider able discussion between certain -citizens present as to the
cuts in the median strips and the necessity for U-turns at these intersections. After
considerable discussion, motion was made by Councilman McMillan., seconded by Councilwoman
Quinn that the matter be tabled for two weeks for further study. Roll was called resulting
as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Ho m tein and Councilwoman Quinn.

The City Manager advised the Council that the proposed change in the Telephone

The Van Winkle Construction Company and the Engineer's on the water reservoir,

the Council and upon arrival, discussion between themselves, the Contractor, the Engineer
and the City Council proceeded. At 6:00 o'clock P.M., motion was made by Councilwoman

the Council Chambers in the City Hall.
The Council returned from recess at 3:00 o'clock P.M. November 8, 1963. All mem-
