$925,000 which the City currently has available for this program. In addition to cash

Development Authority (DDA) through the issuance of$11,380,000 of revenue refunding
bonds. When issued, the bonds carried an interest rate of about 6.5%, very favorable

a majority of the bonds are now eligible for refunding. The 2006 maturity bonds were issued
on a non-callable basis and will not be included in this refunding. The 2001-2004 and 2007
bonds are subject to early call and will be refunded. Ordinance No. 50, 2001, was

Some of the funds will be used by Police Services for special purchases of training, services,
and commodities to enhance the quality of customer service. The remainder will be used in
partnership with a variety of community groups to fund prevention programs for youth, anti-
violence, and diversity issues.
Nearly 100 years ago, Colorado law created a process for the seizure of illegal contraband
used in or gained from criminal activity. The intent is to deter crime and to have criminals
help defray the costs of policing.
State statutes specify that the proceeds from such seizures are to be used for law enforcement
purposes, and require that the governing body (City Council) of the seizing agency (Police
City of Fort Collins
PAGE 5
Services)appropriate these proceeds to supplement the seizing agency's budget or forfeit the
proceeds to the general fund of the State of Colorado. The Colorado Supreme Court and
United States Supreme Court have consistently upheld the constitutionality of these statutes.

Drainage Fund by the City Council as part of the 2001 annual appropriation ordinance. This
Ordinance appropriates the remainder of the proceeds.
It is anticipated that the Bonds will be sold on April 17. This Ordinance will be amended
prior to Second Reading to reflect the actual principal amount.

Drainage Fund Old Town Basin Project.

20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 57, 2001, Authorizing the Conveyance of an Easement to
Wig Interstate Company for Construction of a 36-inch Gas Pipeline
Wyoming Interstate Company proposes to build a new gas pipeline from Douglas,Wyoming
to a station south of Cheyenne, Wyoming as part of the Medicine Bow lateral to increase
transportation capacity of its current system in Colorado and Wyoming. A portion of this
proposed pipeline crosses City-owned Meadow Springs Ranch. This easement will parallel
an existing easement granted by the City in May 1999. This project has been determined to
be "in the public interest" and has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission.The Company's offer is consistent with those made to adjacent landowners.An
environmental assessment has been done for the proposed route.
21. First Reading of Ordinance No. 58, 2001, Authorizing the Conveyance of an Easement to
the Platte River Power Authority for Construction of a 24-inch Gas Pipeline.
Platte River Power Authority proposes to build a new gas pipeline from Rockport,Wyoming
to the Rawhide Energy Station to provide fuel for three new gas fired combustion turbines at
the station. A portion of this proposed pipeline crosses City-owned Meadow Springs Ranch.

done for the proposed route.
22. First Reading of Ordinance No. 59, 2001, Rescinding the Designation of the Gill/Nelson
Garage, 5529 South Timberline Road, as a Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City
Code.

Gill/Nelson Farm as a landmark. The farm is comprised of a house, a milkhouse, and a
garage. The owners of the property, Jeff Nowak and Rayno and Patty Seaser, have initiated
this request for the rescission of the garage's landmark designation. Due to an existing access
easement, the Gill/Nelson Garage must be moved from its current location. As there is no
other location on the farm site where the garage could be placed that would not have a
significant detrimental effect on the integrity of the remaining historic structures, the
Landmark Preservation Commission has determined that the best course of action is the
demolition of the garage.
23. First Reading of Ordinance No. 60, 2001, Authorizing the Issuance of Variable Rate
Economic Development Revenue Refunding Bonds for the Comridge Project.
In 1984,the City of Fort Collins issued$3.5 million of industrial revenue development bonds
for the Comridge Partnership Project. The project consisted of a 50,000 square-foot office
and light manufacturing building. The project has been the home of Comlinear Corporation,
a maker of high-tech electronic equipment. Under the laws and regulations that govern
City of Fort Collins 00 ".V0.4yp

private activity bonds, they may be refinanced by the issuer to achieve interest payment
savings. By adoption of this Ordinance, the $2.7 million of outstanding bonds will be

29. Resolution 2001-61 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement
Concerning Standardization of Street Naming Protocol Within the Municipalities and
Unincorporated Areas of Larimer County and Certain Adjacent Areas
This is a request to authorize the Mayor to execute, on behalf of the City, an
intergovernmental agreement, where the City agrees to use a new County-wide data-base
system for preventing duplication of street names. The system also includes protocol,or rules
to follow, in the selection of street names. The protocol include rules for selecting suffixes,
such as "Court," "Drive," etc., and standards for street names.
Larimer County staff developed the system. Its development was funded by a grant from the
Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority (LETA). The system is internet-based, available
to all participating cities and towns, the County, and available to citizens. Use of the system
assures that the street names will be clear and not be duplicated.
Use of this system assures no duplicate street names in all new developments. However, it
does not change what has already been done. Existing problems with duplicate street names
will need to be addressed on an individual basis.

that the published notice required by State law be given of the Council's hearing to consider
the needed annexation ordinance. The hearing will be held at the time of First Reading of the
annexation and zoning ordinances on June 5, 2001. Not less than 30 days prior, published

C. On January 16,Council adopted Ordinance No.5,2001 on second reading authorizing
the acquisition by eminent domain of certain easements needed for drainage
improvements to Spring Creek at Lemay Avenue made necessary by the flood of
1997. At the time of second reading, staff conveyed to Council that it was the City's
intention to continue good faith negotiations in order to obtain the easements on a
willing seller basis. This has been accomplished as staff has negotiated the necessary
easements for the consideration of$13,155.00. As a result, staff is recommending
that Council accept the Grant of Utility,Access and Construction Easements from The
Living Center-Rocky Mountain, Inc., a Nevada corporation, formerly known as
Geriatrics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, doing business as Spring Creek Health Care
Center, "Grantor". As part of the project design, a private access bridge crossing
Spring Creek will be removed in order to reduce the diversion of flood flows;
therefore the access and utility easements will also be shared by Dona L. Hahn, her
heirs, grantees, legal representatives, and assigns. Staff: Ron Mills.

Agreements.
In April, 1998, the City of Fort Collins and Thompson and Poudre School Districts entered
into Intergovernmental Agreements regarding land dedication for new developments,
including a provision for fees in lieu of land dedication. This system of land dedication and
fees-in-lieu of dedication has been in place for 2.5 years, and is now in need of review. The
school districts have asked that the amount of the fees be increased to reflect both the
increasing cost of land and revised school site standards.
