Anderson. The Mayor called upon Mr. Allen to present what he had for the Council to consider. Mr. Allen showed the Council a proposed subdivision plat for lots for which Mr. Anderson wished to build duplex houses. The minimum size of these lots would be 8000 squire feet. He present a pencil copy of lots of 6000 square feet area which would be necessary if they built one - family residence. This property, being very irregular and triangle shape, does not lend itself to a one -family development due to the necessity of the irregular shaped lot to com- ply with the shape of the area. Mr. Allen presented the information that there was an apartment house in the immediate neighborhood and two or three duplex' also, and he felt that the few residences in the neighborhood who protested he rezoning were some what pre- judiced to to the fact of multiple residence in the immediate area.

As reported in the newspaper it was further stated that there was only resident on this street and that this resident had requested the change in name. My address is 1900 Navajo and we are in fact the only people now living on the street and we did not request the name change. This letter is to register an objection to the proposed change. I have just gone through the somewhat tedious process of changing numerous records and addresses to reflect the act that I live on Navajo. I would hope f that I will not have to repeat the process. In addition, it happens that I prefer Navajo to Chippewa and believe that it is much more appropriate in terms of the other names in the vie inity. Respectfully submitted, Isl Herbert A. Smith 1900 Navajo Drive After discussion by the Uouncil, motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that this request to change the name to Chippewa Drive be denied for the a reason that it, might set/precedent for some other property owner in the City.

Boos Re: Request of Clifford Ingraham and ty Manager James Odle for outside water taps in Dean Acres Second Filing. Attached is a request of the above developers of Dean Acres Second filing for ter taps on the 7mainder of the lots in their subdivision. 262 In February 1964, the Council granted a water tap on Lot 1 of the development. Although only the individual tap was granted, there were at least two indications that all lots of the subdivision would eventually be served from the City system, First, as a con- dition for granting the tap, a release was obtained fr3m the West Fort Collins Water Asso- ciation for the entire area of the subdivision. Second, the tap to t he City main was a 6" tap and a T was installed in the fine from he main to the property being served at the location of the intersecting street of the subdivision. At the present time the developer's wish to construct houses on l)ts 3 and 4. It is their intention to eventually construct houses on all of the 23 lots of the subdivision. They request, therefore, that Council grant watertaps on the entire subdivision and that they be permitted to obtain the permits and pay the necessary fees as construction progresses. It should be noted that an error appears in the description which was used in the agreement granting the tap for lot 1. The corrected description should read: Beginning at a point which, from the SW corner of Section 4, Township 7 North, Range West of the 6th Principal Meridian, bears North 1,067.00 feet, and again North 89056T East 616.41 feet, said Tract is then contained within boundary lines, which from the above point run thence North 16°15' East 442.04 feet along an exist ing fence, thence North 45°201 West 108.83 feet, thence North 27021f3O" West 199.0 feet to t he P.C. of a 360 foot radius curve to the left, thence along the long chord of said curve South 68°251 East 51.27 feet to the P.T. of said curve, thence South 72030f East 119.55 feet to the SE corner of the Dean Acres §ubdivision, thence South 70032140" East 31.76 feet to the PC of a 82.07 foot radius curvato the left, thence along the long chord of said curve South 70027130" East 55.17 feet tot he P.T. of said curve, thence North 89°561 East 431.42 feet, thence South 00004' East 594.45 feet to an existing fence line, thence following said fence line South 89056, West 631.47 feet to the point of beginning. Isl C. Adam Fischer Director of Public Works. The following letter was presented and read at length: Hill and Coyte Attorneys at Law May 19, 1965 City Council City of Fort Collins Fort Collins, Colorado ntlemen: During the time that the West Fort Collins Water District was being organized, I called either the City Engineer or the City Manager and told them that I represented Mrs. Dean, Elsie Ramos and bdro Ramos, and stated that the Fort Collins water line ran through their property and asked if we could expect mervice from the Fort Collins water limewith the new district going in around. I was advised that he City would serve the unplatted land of Mrs, Dean provided the land was not included in the West Fort Collins Water District. Acting on this advice, I petitioned the District Court to exclude her property from the West Fort Collins Water District and the property has been excluded, and her land should I would think be served by the City of Fort Collins., Mr. James Odle has purchased a small parcel of the Dean land. I understand that now the City Council advises that they have to have some kind of a letter from the West Fort Collins Water Listrict. This was certainly not my understanding when we excluded from the District and I was advised definitely that the City of Fort Collins would serve all of the unplatted ground providing it was not,in the water district. Very truly yours, /sl Ralph H. Coyte During the discussion between the City Council and Mr. Clifford R. Ingraham, one of the developers, the matter of water rights to be presented to the City for purchase, was discussed. It appears that there has not been any water rights attached to this property during the past five years. The City Attorney explained to Mr. Ingraham the ordinance in reference to the requirements for water rights, also the necessity of an agreement to annex to the City when annexation is possible. The Mayor explained the Water Board's recommenda- tion to accept the petition for outside water taps by water rights of 2 acre feet for each acre of land and that it might be possible for the developers to buy some Horsetooth, Pleasant Valley, Lake Canal or North Poudre water to offer the City in order to comply with the above requirements. Motion was made by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the matter of water rights and an agreement for annexation be referred tot he City Attorney in order that Mr. Ingraham and Mr. Odle could seek to obtain the necessary water to offer the City. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None.

Roper was present and briefl explained the various secions of the report and what t hey covered in order that the Counci , in studying the report would have some advise to just what each section meant. At the end of Mr. Hoper's explanation of his written report, motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman McMillan, that the report be accepted for study. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted. The following communication was presented and read at length: JOHN J. TOBIN May 12, 1965 MEMORANDUM TO: THE CITY COJNCIL City of Fort Collins 1. Within the past few days I have had several conferences with Mr. Boos and Chief Hollady relative to t he possibility of obtaining additional clerical help for the Municipal Court and Police Department. The great increase in volume of Court has necessi- tated the use of Mrs. Charles as an assistant Court clerk for several hours each week, and has resulted in her being unable to keep up with the volume of work in the Traffic Viola- tions Bureau and handling the Parking Tickets. It has also become impossible for Mrs. Hutchi son to keep up with the Clerk's duties relative to Court affairs without her taking work home on Saturdays and Sundays and wotking extra hours during the week. It now appears that the Court and the Police Depart and 4 enthoucoulds per shareday one full lolicetime Dclerk- rtment. tYPist, to work 4 hours per day for the The current budget of the Police Department is such that that Department can absorb one-half Of the cost of this additional help, but there is no provision in the budget for additional help for the Court. I would therefore, respectfully request that the Council approve the hirin7 of a clerk -typist with her duties to be divided as herein set forth, and with one- half of her salary to be charged to the Court, and to be paid from general funds to augment the Court budget. 2. The conferences which we have had have also brought to attention the fact that F rt Collins is the only m ajor City in Colorado that continues to charge 5V for over - the recommendation of the Court that commencing June 15, time parking violations. It is 1965, or July 1, 1965, the charge for over -time parking be increased to1.00 with the oharE Ito be increased if not paid within 24 hours. It is my opinion that no formal Council action istrequired tobe d,increase and it these is discretionarycharges Withthat the ordinances provide the maximum penalty with the Court as to the amount of fines to be assessed; however, I would not wish to take this action in that it is related to the Parking Meter removal, without the Council being aware of the same. APPROVED: Respectfully submitted, Isl John J. Tobin Judge - Municipal Court %s Roy E. Hollady Chief of Police The City Manager explained that he had checked the first item and found that the report of Judge Tobin of the necessity of an additional Clerk -Typist of the Court and the Police benartment was warranty of consideration and that the Police "epartment budget would be able to absorb one-half of the additional salary and that the court budget would have to be an exchange of appropriations between departments.at the close of Of necessity/reltbursed by the year but that the overall budget of 1965, would not be exceeded. Motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Carson, that the recommendation for an additional Clerk -Typist be approved. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted. of the increase of overtime parking fines which is within the maximum The matter Penalty by the ordinance, does not require Council approval, however, since this has been brought on by the removal of the parking meters, the Municipal Judge felt that the Council Should be aware of the intention to increase the fines for overtime parking. Motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Carson, that the proposed action of the 261 20, 1 Municipal Judge be approved. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilman Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.' The City Attorney reported on the matter of the request of Harold Flinn for an outside of the City water tap, that there was not any water line available for this lot, however, Mr. Ed Miller sold 8 shares of Arthur Ditch water to t he City which would be sufficient water to cover the request of Mr. Harold Flinn, who is a son-in-law of Mr. Ed Miller. Motion was made by Councilman rbnett, seconded by Councilman Carson, that the peti- tion of Mr. Harold Flinn for an outside water tap be granted under the water rights sold to the City by Mr. Ed Miller. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared t he motion adopted. A report of the bids received for a pick-up truck for the Filter Plant was present d. Bids received were as follows: Northern Colorado Equipment Co.

The following reports were presented and read at length: May 5, 1965 TO: Mr. Robert Boos, City Manager FROM: Roy E. Hollady SUBJECT: Need for Parking Enfordement Vehicles Sir: The vehicle presently being used by the recently employed parking enforcement officer is not adequate forthe job. St is necessary for the battery to be charged twice during the day to insure its availability. After the officerst first round in the mor ping , which takes approximately two hours, the machine must be brought back to the City Hall for recharging purposes. At 1:00 P.M. the parking enforcement officer picks up the machine and makes another round at whicht ime it again must be brought back to the City Hall for recharging. The first recharge during the day is inadequate and the machine can only go about two hours before it runs out of elec- tricity. It takes all W'7ht for the charger to sufficiently energize the battery for the machine to run the following morning. This arrangement holds up our parking enforcement efforts conside ably. At least three hours of the day the parking enforcement officer must walk his rounds and consequently cc erage is not as good as it should be. It is suggested t hat this department be allowed to purchase a Cushman three -wheel parking enforcement vehicle for parking enforcement purposes. I think that in view of the urgent nature of the enforcement problems in the downtown area, this purchase should be made as soon as possible. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Roy E. Hollday Chief of Police May 18, 1965 TO: Mr. Robert Boos, City Manager FROM: Roy M. Hollady SUBJECT: Cost of Cushman Parking Enforcement Vehicle Sir: At 11:45•, this date, this officer contacted a salesman at Golf Carts, Inc., 219 Vallejo, Denver, Colorado, regarding the estimated cost of a three -wheeled Cushman parking enforce- ment vehicle. The salesman informed me that the type of vehicle which we would be interested in would �I have a base cost of $1500. The salesman assured this officer that the machine would be quite adequate for our purposes. 265 May 20, 1965 The $2300 cost of the machine which we were shown last year reporesents a vehicle which had several extras on it plus a police radio. That accounts for the high cost. It is not intended that this vehicle, if purchased, would have a police radio or the extras which were on the other machine. A salesman from Golf Carts, Inc., will contact this officer either this date or tomorrow for further discussions. Respectfully submitted, /a/ Roy E. Hollady Chief of Police The City Manager advised the Council that the report on the cost of the Cushman vehicle was mainly for information and that if the request of the Police Department for purchase of the vehicle was approved, that bids would be called for after preparing d'peci- fications. Motion was made by Councilman Bennett, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the purchase of an additional parking enforcement vehicle be approved, subject to bids received on same. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes- None. The President declared the motion ado p ted. The following report was presented and read at length: May 18, 1965 TO: Mr. Robert Boos, City Manager FROM: Roy E. Hollady SUBJECT: Additional Department Automobile Sir: This Departmert definitely has need for an additional unmarked automobile. Since the Juve- nile Officer has been added to the Departmental structure one more car is needed for his use on a twenty-four hour basis. At present unit #10, originally assigned to this officer, has been re -assigned to the Juvenile Officer for this purpose. In addition, the Detective Division now has two men who share one car. This physical re- striction slows down investigations. There would be no reason to have two investigators if they have to use the same automobile. Parenthetically, it should be stated that the case load in both offices have significantly increased making the additional automobile necessary At present the two unmarked vehicles that we have are being used by five police officers - myself, the Ass't Chief, the two detectives and one juvenile officer. Ass't Chief Howe and myself find it necessary to use personal vehicles to conduct Department af%irs. We have been paying Ass't Chief Howe mileage when he uses his vehicle. As you know we have found it necessary to use vehicles quite often from other Departments. It is not convenient to do so regularly. I have found it particularly uncomfortable to be with out an automobile. I feel that it is necessary that we have an additional vehicle of the unmarked variety which can also be used for patrol purposes if necessary. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Roy E. Hollady Chief of Police The matter of the 2-wheel motorcycle in the Police Department which had 'very little use, was discussed, and it was the opinion of the mem hers of the Council that this vehicle sho�ild be sold or traded for an additional pDlice car if they were to purchase same as requested. Motion was made by Councilman Carson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the matter of the sale of the 2-wheel motor cycle or the tradein value on a new car be considered and investigated and a report made to the City Council on the matter. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Carson, McMillan, Bennett and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted. The City Attorney reported that the Union Pacific Railroad Company had finally Presented an a greemant covering a private roadway on and along a right-of-way of the rail- road east of Fort C l.li.ns, being an extension of Riverside Drive, and a plank and asphalt crossing on the right-of-way created by this agreement.

The following communication was presented and read at length: 1028 Cragmore Drive Fort Collins, Colors 18 May 1965 City Council, City of Fort Collins P.O. Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado Gentlemen: This letter concerns the subject of garbage and trash collection within the city of Fort Collins. It is my understanding that I pay a fee for garbage and trash disposal. I am a resident of the above address, and have lived here for the past 9 months. Since I must pay a private contractor to pick up my garbage & trash, and I burn most tissh myself, I am wondering what the garbage & trash disposal fee which pay entails. This is the first town in the United States that I have lived in that does not have a city-wide garbage & trash collection service; that is, a home pickup service. Incidently I have also lived in Japan which is considered rather primitive insofar as sanitation by American standards, and yet most places there had periodic garbage & trash collection: In fact, even if I elected t not pay a private garbage collector and would instead drive to t he city dump, I would still have to pay for the privilege of leaving my garbage there. This must be rather irksome to some persons who never the less do this and are concerned enough to drive 5 miles at a legal location and still have to pay for this. This is a very pleasant town and is growing at a fast rate. My reasons for wanting a fre- quent garbage and trash collection pickup for all homes located within the city are as follows: 1. Most people here have a monthly pickup of garbage by a private contractor. Otters who own trucks dump their own. The garbage that waits 8r a monthly Pic Lip creates a very unhealthy situation. Not only is there an odor problem when these contain trs/not emptied frequently, but also an insect and rodent problem is created. are 267 20, 1 2. Trash remaining for long periods in barrels is likely to be strewn the neighborhood by the windy weather which we experience here. 3. Many items disposed of in these containers are dangerous to young children (medicines, chemicals, etc.). 4. The trash burners which we all must have are unsightly and more importantly they contaminate the air with smoke and filth. I am sure also hat the first department agrees that they create a real fire hazard. 5. As an added thought, it seems that City Park is becoming a large trash heap, with broken bottles and litter everywhere. Is this a reflection of the gerwa lack of sanitation exhibited in this city? I certainly hope that you will give t his matter your consideration and that you will take active steps to correct t he highly undersirable situation that now prevails in Fort Collins in regard to garbage and trash collection. Cordially yours, I/a/ Robert P. Kwapien, D.V.M. This matter was referred to the City Manager. Mrs. Curtis of 1827 Remington Street, again appeared before the Council in refer- ence to the broadcasting of music, etc., of the Rauch Motor Company. After discussion, with the Council, the Mayor suggested that she meet with the City Attorney and prepare and sign a complaint against the Motor Company which will be filed in the Municipal Court in (reference therein.
