9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 164, 2001, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent
Domain Proceedings of Certain Lands for a Natural Area Along Spring Creek on a Portion
of Lot 1 of Shadowbrook P.U.D.
Over the past several years the Brookhaven Homeowner's Association has approached the
City inquiring whether the City was interested in purchasing land along Spring Creek as the
creek moves through its Planned Unit Development. In June of this year, the Association
presented a formal proposal to sell 2.484 acres of land along Spring Creek to the Natural
Resources Department for $10,000. Staff has reviewed and approves the proposal.
However, due to the restrictive nature of the Associations' Condominium Declaration for the
conveyance of property, the Associations' Board of Directors has requested the City acquire
the property through eminent domain. Without eminent domain, all Brookhaven
Homeowners (approximately 50 homeowners) in the Association and any lending
institutions holding deeds of trust on each condominium would need to execute the
conveyance document pursuant to the Bylaws of the Association. Ordinance No. 164, 2001,
which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2001, authorizes the use
of eminent domain proceedings to acquire the property.
10. Items Relating to Appropriation of Grant Revenues for Police Services.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 198, 2001, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in
the General Fund for Police Services and Authorizing the Transfer of Matching
Funds Previously Appropriated in the Police Services Operating Budget to the Grant
Project.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 199, 2001, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant

awarded a grant under the U.S. Department of Justice, Local Law Enforcement Block Grant
(LLEBG) program in the amount of $75,275 for the procurement of equipment and
technology relating to basic law enforcement functions. A local cash match of $8,364 is
required and will be met by the existing Police Services budget. The grant funds will be
used to purchase computer, video, and photo imaging equipment, as well as a flexible
articulating borescope for SWAT use.
11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 200 2001 Appropriating Prior Year Use Tax CALryover
Reserves for the Manufacturer's Use Tax Rebate Program.
In March 1996, City Council approved a temporary rebate program for use tax paid on
manufacturing equipment. The program was amended in February 1999 to include several
changes suggested by staff and the manufacturing community. The goal of the program is
City of Fort Collins 0n;
PAGE 4
to maintain the local economic base by providing modest tax relief to manufacturing
concerns located in Fort Collins. During 2000, the City of Fort Collins received $3,438,535
in use tax receipts from eligible companies within the Standard Industrial Code classification
for manufacturers. This constitutes 65% of all use tax paid by local businesses in 2000.
12. First Reading of Ordinance No 201 2001 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves Designated
for Community Park Improvements in the Capital Improvement Expansion Fund and
Neighborhood Parkland Fund Prior Year Reserves for Transfer to the Building Community
Choices Capital Projects Fund Fossil Creek Community Park Capital Project for Use With
Existing Appropriations to Construct a Maintenance Facility.
Neighborhood and community park impact fees are assessed on new residential dwellings
and these fees are used to build new neighborhood and community park improvements
described in the current approved plan. The current Parks and Recreation Policy Plan
identifies the need for central maintenance facilities for these neighborhood and community
parks. Fossil Creek Community Park will have a maintenance facility that will be used to
maintain that park, and will also be used to maintain a future 50-acre community park and
seven neighborhood parks in the southeast area of the city. Funding for Fossil Creek
Community Park cannot be use to pay for the maintenance facilities for the other parks
because this funding was approved by the voters for Fossil Creek Park. The neighborhood
and community park impact fees for maintenance facilities will be used to enlarge the
maintenance facility at Fossil Creek Park. The larger facility will provide adequate space
to store equipment and materials for the other southeast parks and to accommodate the needs
of the crews that will maintain those parks. Enlarging the Fossil Creek maintenance facility
is the most efficient, cost-effective way to provide maintenance facilities for these southeast
parks.
13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 202, 2001. Authorizing the Conveyance of Non -Exclusive
Utility. Drainage and Temporary Construction Easements at Fort Collins -Loveland
Municipal Airoort for the Loveland -Fort Collins Industrial Airrpark 9th Subdivision
The Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland each own a 50% share of the Fort Collins -Loveland
Municipal Airport. Centre Point LLC has received approval of the Loveland -Fort Collins
Industrial Airpark 9th Subdivision from the Loveland Planning Commission, but is required
to obtain the proposed utility, drainage and temporary construction easements in order to
develop the Subdivision. Centre Point has agreed to improve the Airport retention pond by
increasing its size. The improvements to be constructed in the easements will also be
beneficial for the Airport.
Section 23-111 of the City Code provides that the City Council must authorize the sale, or
conveyance of real property owned by the City following a determination that to do so is in
the best interest of the City.

of two easements: (1) an easement for the new location of the Sherwood Lateral Ditch,
which will be moved from its current location; and (2) an emergency access easement for
Poudre Fire Authority. The Community Horticulture Center project is currently in (Type 1)
development review and a public hearing date has been set for December 5, 2001. The
anticipated construction start date for the project is expected to be late February of 2002.
15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 204, 2001, Making Various Amendments to the City of Fort
Collins Land Use Code.
Staff has identified a variety of proposed changes, additions and clarifications in the Fall
biannual update of the Land Use Code. The Planning and Zoning Board will consider the
proposed changes at its November 15, 2001 meeting. The Board's recommendation will be
provided under separate cover.
16. First Reading of Ordinance No. 206, 2001, Amending Section 2-575 of the City Code
Relating to Councilmember Compensation.
Article II, Section 3 of the City Charter provides that the compensation of Councilmembers
shall be adjusted annually for inflation in accordance with the Denver/Boulder Consumer
Price Index. In 2001, Councilmembers were compensated $550 per month, and the Mayor
received $825 per month.
This Ordinance amends Section 2-575 of the City Code to set the 2002 compensation of
Councilmembers at $575 and the compensation of the Mayor at $860.
17. First Reading of Ordinance No. 207, 2001, Amending Section 2-474 ofthe Code of the City
of Fort Collins to Increase from Seven to Nine the Number of Commissioners of the Fort
Collins Housing Authority.
The Fort Collins Housing Authority has been established by the Fort Collins City Council,
pursuant to the provisions of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S.) for the purpose of
providing affordable, safe and sanitary housing for low income families in our community.
C.R.S. §29-4-205(3)(a), allows for as many as nine members ofthe Board of Commissioners
of the Housing Authority. The current Commissioners respectfully request a revision to City
Code to allow for the appointment of nine Commissioners. The Commissioners believe that
the addition of two Commissioners will allow for more expertise in the areas of development
and financing of affordable housing.

18. First Readine of Ordinance No. 208, 2001, Amendinc Section 13-23 of the City Code
Concerning Appeals to the Human Relations Commission.
Section 13-16 of the City Code provides that the Human Relations Commission ("HRC")
will hear appeals from decisions of the City Manager that find no probable cause related to
an alleged violation of the Human Rights Code. As currently worded, Section 13-23 of the
City Code requires the HRC to conduct an appeal hearing within 30 days of the filing of the
appeal with the City Manager's Office. Over the past couple of years, this 30-day time limit
has been difficult to meet because the HRC's regular meetings are monthly and obtaining a
quorum for a special meeting is sometimes difficult to achieve.
The HRC has requested that the 30-day time limit be extended to 50 days. This request takes
the following into consideration: there are sometimes as many as 35 days between regular
meetings of the HRC; the parties to the appeal hearing need time to prepare for the hearing
(a minimum of 10 days is usually necessary); and it generally takes several days from the
filing of an appeal to coordinate the hearing date and location among the appealing parties,
City support staff, and the 9 members of the HRC. When these factors are considered, the
30-day time limit can be difficult to meet. The additional time would allow for more
scheduling flexibility while still ensuring a reasonably, timely hearing.
The Ordinance also adds a sentence which allows the HRC to adopt additional procedures
for the conduct of the appeal hearing (such as those regulating the appeal notices,
documentary evidence, witness statements, pre -hearing procedures, burden ofproof, hearing
procedures, decision of the commission on the merits, notification of decision, as long as
those procedures do not conflict with the City Code or Charter). The procedures are intended
to help ensure a fair yet efficient process for the conduct of the hearing.
19. Resolution 2001-156 Approvine. the Execution of an Agreement to Modify and Amend an
Intergovernmental Agreement Concerning the Implementation of an "E911" Emergency
Telephone Service.
The City of Fort Collins is a party to an Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") dated
November 14, 1990 which established a separate legal entity called the Larimer Emergency
Telephone Authority ("LETA"). LETA is responsible for administering the operation of the
emergency telephone service program (911) and defining the manner in which each of the
parties will participate in the authority.
On July 16, 2001, the LETA Board of Directors approved an agreement to modify and
amend the original IGA. The proposed modification will add the towns of Windsor and
Johnstown as signatories to the IGA with regard to those portions of Larimer County now
included within the respective boundaries of those municipalities. It also provides for
representation for Windsor and Johnstown on the Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority
(LETA) Board through the members designated in the IGA as representatives of the small
towns in Larimer County that are signatories to the IGA. The Council approved similar

changes in 1999, which added the Windsor-Severence Fire Protection District and Colorado
State University as signatories to the IGA.
20. Resolution 2001-157 Adoptingthe e City of Fort Collins General Employees' Retirement Plan
as Amended and Restated Effective December 31, 2001.
The City of Fort Collins General Employees' Retirement Plan (the Plan) provides retirement
benefits for approximately 117 retirees and beneficiaries. The Plan has 407 active members
and 114 former Members that have vested benefits as of the last valuation report.
Over the past few years the General Employees' Retirement Committee (the Committee),
with assistance from the Plan's actuary and special legal counsel, identified and studied a
number of changes to the Plan. The changes clarify, explain, and redefine some of the
provisions of the Plan to conform to Internal Revenue Code changes, provisions of the
Colorado Revised Statutes, and otherwise incorporate certain administrative practices. This
is the first Plan restatement since 1992. Since that time, there have been several changes in
the Internal Revenue Code however, the deadline for their implementation has been
extended. Earlier this year, the Internal Revenue Service determined that, to remain tax -
qualified, plans such as the City's should have the Plan changes made by the end of 2001.
The Resolution also amends the Plan for a change to the definition of Eligible Retirement
Plan to include rollover distributions to other types of Plans and IRAs upon the employee's
termination of employment. Under the IRS guidelines, this change cannot go into effect
until 2002.
21. Resolution 2001-158 Expressing the City Council's Endorsement of the Larimer County
Open Lands Master Plan and Urging the Approval of Said Plan by the Board of County
Commissioners of Larimer County.
The development of the Larimer County Open Lands Master Plan has been a year -long
citizen driven process. Considerable time and effort have been expended to ensure that
County residents including City of Fort Collins residents had ample opportunity to give input
and receive information about the master plan. This effort is reflected in the large amount
of public participation received throughout the planning process.
22. Resolution 2001-159 Amending the Transfort Service Plan.
The Transfort Strategic Plan is a plan for the development of transit services from 2002
through 2010. On June 19, 2001 Council adopted the Transfort Service Plan as an Element
of the Transfort Strategic Operating Plan. Staff is requesting that City Council amend the
Service Plan Element to include transit services on the fixed route system of routes 9 and 14
and to include evening service on the paratransit system. Both of these changes are included
in Transfort's proposed 2002-2003 budget and the implementation of these changes are
contingent on City Council's adoption of the City's proposed 2002-2003 budget.

Collins by Changing the Zonine Classification for That Certain Property Known as the
Johnson Property Rezoning_

the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins to rezone approximately 217 acres of property
located on the northeast comer of Timberline and Drake Roads. The property is currently

29. Resolution 2001-160 Adopting the Northern Colorado Regional Communities I-25 Corridor
Plan.
Eight regional communities have joined together to prepare the Northern Colorado Regional
Communities I-25 Corridor Plan (the "Plan"). The Corridor encompasses an area roughly
1 mile on either side of the I-25 right-of-way for a distance of 32 miles from 2 miles south
of Highway 56 (Berthoud exit) to County Road 58 just north of Fort Collins. This Plan
establishes a framework for the communities to work together on issues of regional
significance including unified quality of development, a local network of future multi -modal
transportation improvements, and protection of significant natural areas and open lands
within the Corridor. If adopted, the Plan will become an element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
30. Resolution 2001-161 Repealing Resolution 99-46 and Adopting an Amendment to the
Financial Management Policies.
For budget planning purposes, the City's services are categorized in one of three categories:
primary, secondary and support. In recent discussions, City Council expressed a desire to
consider "transportation" as a primary service.
The proposed Resolution amends the Financial Management Policies so that the list of
primary services shown in paragraph D thereof includes the term "transportation" rather than
"streets", and so that "Transfort" is eliminated from the list of secondary services shown in
paragraph E; and repeals Resolution 99-46, since the principles for budget planning set forth
in Resolution 99-46 are incorporated in the Financial Management Policies and future
amendments to the principles for budget planning need only be made to the Financial
Management Policies themselves. In effect, this new Resolution categorizes "transportation"
as a primary service.

39. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 191, 2001. Amending the City Code to Adjust the Capital
Improvement Expansion, Neighborhood Parkland and Street Oversizing Fees for Increases
Due to Increases in the Cost of Construction and Raw Water.
This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 6, 2001,
increases the fee schedules for the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees and Neighborhood
Parkland Fee by the change in the 2000 Denver -Boulder -Greeley Consumer Price Index.
Costs in the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees ("CIEF") Study and the fee schedule for
the Neighborhood Parkland Fees were calculated using costs from 1995. The relevant
governing provisions of the City Code call for increases to keep up with annual inflation, and
the fees were last adjusted in late 2000. This Ordinance also increases the CIEF and the
neighborhood parkland fees by the projected increase in the CPI-U of 4.91%. For the
