FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: November 21, 2000
FROM: Gary Diede
SUBJECT:
Postponement of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 165, 2000, Approving the Restated and
Amended Parking Agreement and Amendment to the Downtown Development Authority
Agreement Regarding the Opera Galleria.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adoption of the Consent Agenda will postpone Second Reading of this Ordinance until
December 19, 2000.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 1994 the City of Fort Collins entered into an agreement with the Opera Galleria property
owner that entitled the Opera Galleria to purchase a number of parking permits in the Laporte-
America Lot adjacent to the property, as well as the Block 31 Lot and the Old Town Parking
Structure. The current owner of the Opera Galleria, Ed Orr of Opera Galleria, LLC, requested
that the City of Fort Collins amend and restate the original agreement to reflect that the Laporte
10 America Lot was replaced by the Civic Center Parking Structure and that the Block 31 Lot is no
longer available for permit customers, and to allow for monthly payment for the permits (rather
than annual).
Ordinance No. 165, 2000, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 7, 2000.
Since that time further negotiations on the agreement have continued but have not yet been
completed. Consequently, Second Reading of this Ordinance is being postponed until December
19, 2000 to allow additional time to complete negotiations.
