Mr. James Cooper, a member of the Urban Improvement Committee and Fort Collins
Chamber of Commerce, was present and presented the following resolution:
RESOLUTION
The Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce believes that a vital growing core area is necessary to
ll
the health of our city. Securing the welfare of the core area is a job requiring the continu-
ous action of the City Government as well as private development agencies. Our Chamber of
Commerce has studied the core area needs forthe oast two years and developed recommendations
which are appropriate for an action program. These actions will solve many problems exist-
ing in the core business area.
The sort Collins Chamber of Commerce recommends that the City Government move forward immed-
iately on two projects.
1. Adopt an ordinance which will allow the creation of a Core Area Improvement
District. The Governing Board of the District should have power to gain taxed
income from within the District for buying, selling and managing of parking pro-
perties within the District as well as conceiving and implementing beautificatic
ideas.
2. Authorize a traffic study to implement the routing of thru traffic off College
Avenue within the designated core area. The study would recommend pvper street
alteration and signing devices to insure maximum effectiveness.
The Chamber of Commerce proposes to continue its effortst oward:
1. Effecting the support necessary for formation of the District.
2. Creating a proper beautification and off street parking plan which will b e
implemented by the District upon its formation.
The Chamber of Commerce strongly urges that the Fort Collins City Council proceed on these
recommendations without delay so that t he plan can be implemented by June 1, 1964.
Adopted this 19th day of November, 1963.

/sl James W. Cooper, Acting Chairman
In support of the interurban Improvement Committee, the following resolution was
presented by the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce:
RESOLUTION
The Urban Improvement Committee of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce has diligently and
effectively studied the problem of core area renewal in Fort Collins. The men and women of
the Committee deserve high commendation fort heir efforts.
The recommendations of the Committee deserve immediate consideration and high priority for
accomplishment by the appropriate private and government agencies.
The Board of Directors of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce do heartily and without
reservation endorse the resolution passed by the Urban Improvement Committee on November
19, 1963, and do hereby commit the resources of the organization to the accomplishment of
these recommendations.

The Mayor replied to the committee present as follows:
This Chamber of Commerce suggestion is well taken. It surely shows you have
given tits extensive studying and is well prepared, and we are sure it has taken months of
time.
By the same token, we will need some time to go into your recommendations. First
things must come first. A traffic planner experienced in this field will be necessary.
Contacts will need to be made with the.Colorado Highway Department and C & S Railroad.
We are glad to accept this. recommendation and assure that they will not be pig-
eoned-holed indefinately.
As you are well aware, we have put into operation a good number of projects for
Port Collins in the short time we have been in office.
1"ort Collins is fortunate to have such men as you to give your time for our city.

Ivan Hubka
140 West Mountsin
Ft. Collins, Colo.
Re: Ben Olds Office Addition
200 West Prospect
Dear Mr. Hubka:
In reference tothe job listed above, there are four major discreptancies.
1. No permit was issued from this office.
2. No inspection was called for at any time on completion of this job.
3. Romex_was used where.the Electrical Ordinance calls for thinwall or rigid con
duit.
4. Your or your legal agent was informed of the necessity of an additional elec-
trical meter for each additional business or office added.
It is for the first three reasons that as of the date November 27, 1963, ,your Cit,
Master Electricians License is revoked until the City Council of the City of Fort Collins,
Colorado advised me to reinstate it.
Very truly yours,
Ken Christensen
Chief Electrical Inspector.
Mr. Christensen was present and presented the following letter which is to be
imailed to Mr. Ben -Olds, the contractor of the building where the Fort Collins Electrical
Company was the contractor doing the electrical work:
November 29, 1963
Ben Olds
P. 0. Box 72
Ft. Collins, Colo.
Dear Sir:
A permit was issued for an ad& tion on to your existing building at 200 West Pros-
pect on June 27, 1963, Permit No. 7030. This permit listed Fort Collins Electic as doing th
Electrical Work. An inspection was made on this addition on Friday, November 22, 1963.
These are three visable short comings in the electrical work, namely:
1.
One meter is
serving
power to more
than one business.
2.
Incoming power lines
are rubbing on
a metallic louver.
3.
The addition
is wired
in romex when
the Electrical Code calls for conduit.
Above and beyond this, no inspection was called for prior to covering the ceiling
framing.
We are calling for the above infractions to be corrected by not later than Decem-
229
November 27.�963
ber 11, 1963, or our only alternative will be to have your power discontinued until the
above provisions ate met.
Very truly yours,

vocation of the license. After discussion, motion was made by Councilman McMillan, second-
