CONSENT CALENDAR
7. Second Reading_ of Ordinance No. 148, 2001, Amending Chanter 7 of the City Code
Relating to Election Campaigns.
This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 16, 2001,
amends Article V of Chapter 7 of the City Code relating to campaign practices in local
elections. The majority of the changes proposed are intended to provide clarification of
existing provisions.
8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 154, 2001, Amending Chanter 20, Article II of the
City Code Regarding Noise.
As part of an effort to improve noise enforcement, the City Manager initiated review of
the City's noise control ordinance (codified in Chapter 20, Article II of the City Code),
which was originally implemented in 1981. A staff team reviewed the ordinance and
proposed modest amendments to bring it up-to-date. The Council Health and Safety
Committee reviewed the proposed amendments and made some changes. Ordinance No.
154, 2001, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 16, 2001.

funds, and authorizes the transfer of appropriated amounts between funds. The City
Charter permits the City Council to provide by ordinance for payment of any expense
from prior year reserves. The Charter also permits the City Council to appropriate
unanticipated revenue received as a result of rate or fee increases or new revenue sources.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 156, 2001, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter
into an Agreement for the Financing by Lease -Purchase of Vehicles and Equipment.
Ordinance No. 156, 2001, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October
16, 2001, authorizes the Purchasing Agent to enter into a lease -purchase financing
agreement with Koch Financial Corporation at 4.533% interest rate. The agreement shall
be for an original term from the execution date of the agreements to the end of the current
fiscal year. The agreement shall provide for renewable one-year terms thereafter, to a
total term of five (5) years, subject to annual appropriation of funds needed for lease
payments.
11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 157, 2001, Amending Sections 13-23 and 13-24 of the
City Code Concerning the Enforcement and Conciliation of Human Rights Violations.
The City's Human Rights Code (Chapter 13 of the City Code) previously limited
conciliation efforts by the City Manager. The City Manager has delegated his role under
the Human Rights Code to the City's Human Rights Resource and Education Office.
Conciliation is only authorized after the City Manager makes a finding of probable cause
and any conciliation effort must be completed within 90-days of the filing of the
complaint by a citizen alleging discrimination.
Ordinance No. 157, 2001, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October
16, 2001, allows conciliation to occur at an earlier point in the complaint process (upon
the filing of a complaint instead of upon completion of the investigation and a finding of
probable cause) and will remove the 90-day time limit on reaching a conciliation.
12. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 158, 2001, Amending Sections 23-82 and 23-83 of the
City Code Pertaining to Encroachments.
Ordinance No. 158, 2001, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 16,
2001. At the time of First Reading, Councilmember Hamrick asked whether the
previously proposed waiver of an encroachment permit fee for news racks should apply
to all kinds of publications which might be offered on the news racks, regardless of
whether they contain traditional speech, such as the Coloradoan or the Denver Post, or
more commercial speech, such as the Thrifty Nickel. The proposed fee waiver has been
eliminated. Ordinance No. 158, 2001, has been amended between First and Second
Reading to set the fee for news racks and other constitutionally protected speech at the
nominal amount of $10 so as to avoid any prior constraint concerns.

13. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 160, 2001, Approving the Terms of the Sublease by
the City of a Portion of Rivendell School Property for a Community Recycling Drop-off
Facility.
The City Manager has executed a sublease agreement by which the City will sublease
from the executive board of Rivendell School a portion of the school's paved surface area
as the location for a community recycling collection facility ("drop-off site"), for an
initial period through the end of the current calendar year with up to 10 one-year
renewals.
This Ordinance which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 16, 2001,
allows the City to submit the Agreement to the County in order to remove a one -acre
portion of the Rivendell School site from the property tax rolls.
14. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 161, 2001 Repealiniz Ordinance No 2 2001 and
Designating the Deines Bam and Twin Silos as a Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of
the City Code.
This is a housekeeping item. The Deines Barn and Twin Silos were originally designated
as a Landmark by Ordinance No. 2, 2001. When staff was preparing the final documents
for recordation, it was discovered that there was an invalid signature on the application.
The question of ownership of the Deines Barn and Twin Silos has since been resolved.
The legal owner, the Shenandoah Owners' Association, has expressed its desire that the
structures be designated. Staff, in consultation with the City Attorney's Office,
determined that the best course of action would be to repeal the original ordinance
adopted by Council, and treat the owner's request as a new designation action.
Ordinance No. 161, 2001, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 16,
2001.
15. Items Relating to the Law Enforcement Assistance Fund (LEAF ) Contract with the
Colorado Department of Transportation Providing Funds for the Fort Collins Police
Services Drunk Driving Enforcement Program.
A. Resolution 2001-136 Approving and Authorizing the Mayor to Execute the Drunk
Driving Enforcement Grant Contract #L-31-02 Between the City and the

overtime compensation for Fort Collins Police Officers who are involved in operations,
which focus on the detection and arrest of drunk drivers.
16. First Reading of Ordinance No. 163, 2001, Authorizing an Option to Lease and a
Subsequent Lease of, City -Owned Property at City Park North Ballfield to Cricket
Colorado Property Company, for the Location of Antenna Equipment and Related
Facilities, Along With Associated Easements.
Cricket Colorado Property Company, a division of Cricket Communication ("Cricket")
contacted the Parks Division to discuss the possible lease of land for an antenna and
related equipment to enhance its cellular phone service. The property to be leased and a
related utility easement are located in City Park, north of the ballfields. Council has
approved similar leases for Sprint and Voice Stream in the same area. Through a series
of negotiations, staff has developed a proposed Site Lease with Option that meet the
needs of the City and Cricket.
17. First 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 I 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 dollars. Staff has reviewed and approves
the proposal.
However, due to the restrictive nature of the Association's Condominium Declaration for
the conveyance of property, the Association's 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. Staff recommends
adoption of this Ordinance on First Reading to authorize the use of eminent domain
proceedings to acquire the property.
18. Resolution 2001-137 Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation
Proceedings for the Paradigm Annexation.
The applicant, Hattman Associates, on behalf of the property owner, Paradigm
Properties, LLC, has submitted a written petition requesting annexation of 16.29 acres
located south of East Prospect Road, west of McLaughlin Lane, and east of Interstate 25.
The property is largely undeveloped except for the Fort Collins Motorsport retail
operation (motorcycles, ATV's, snowmobiles, and ski-doos) at the southwest corner of

PAGE 6
the site. The requested zoning for this annexation is C — Commercial. The surrounding
properties are zoned C - Commercial in Larimer County to the south and east and C —
Commercial in the City to the west and the north.
The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the
Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the
annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the
time of First Reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances. Not less than thirty days
of prior notice is required by State law.
19. Resolution 2001-138 Establishing a Two -Person Transportation Funding Committee to
Formulate Recommendations Regarding the Fundine of the City's Long -Term
Transportation Needs.
The City's 10-year capital needs related to transportation are extensive. Unfunded
transportation capital needs amount to over $415 million for this 10-year period. At
present, there is no identifiable, stable funding source to ensure that the transportation
capital needs will be constructed. Because transportation is such an integral element to
the health and vitality of the community, City Council wants to:
• review the long-term transportation capital needs of the City
• develop a funding strategy related to the long-term transportation capital needs
• determine if any transportation capital projects should be placed on the ballot for
consideration by City voters at the November 2002 election.
To facilitate this work, this resolution will establish a two -member Council committee to
work with the City Manager in preparing recommendations related to the City's
transportation capital needs and will appoint Mayor Pro Tem Bill Bertschy and
Councilmember Kurt Kastein to the Committee.
20. Routine Easement.

Collins to Adjust the Capital Improvement Expansion, Neighborhood Parkland and Street
Oversizing Fees for Increases Due to Increases in the Cost of Construction and Raw

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 increases the CIEF and the neighborhood parkland fees by the projected
increase in the CPI-U of 4.91%. For the Neighborhood Parkland and Community
Parkland fees, the fee levels are increased by $75.00 and $126.58, respectively to cover

The RAF is to be set annually based upon a percentage of sales and use tax revenues
(excluding dedicated sales and use tax revenues that must be spent on specific projects)
and a portion of the operating mill levy of the City's property tax. Article X, Section 20
of the State Constitution limits the rate of growth to a combination of the Denver -
Boulder Consumer Price Index and additions to the local property tax base primarily due
to construction and annexation. Although voters passed a ballot measure in November,
1997 allowing the City to retain excess revenues over the growth limits imposed by
Article X, Section 20, the RAF is still reviewed annually and proportionately reduced, if
necessary, if City revenues exceed the estimated annual percentage increase in revenues
that the City would be permitted to retain under Article X, Section 20.
