28, First Readine of Ordinance No. 192, 2000, Authorizingthe he City of Fort Collins to Enter into
a Livestock Grazing Lease Agreement for Meadow Springs Ranch with Natural Fort Grazing
Ltd.
Meadow Springs Ranch ("MSR") was purchased in late 1990. The grazing lease for the 1991
season was entered into with Natural Fort Grazing Ltd. ("NFG") at a rate of $9 per animal
unit month. In 1992, a two-year lease was awarded that emphasized both economic and
environmental issues. NFG, through its right of first refusal clause in the original purchase
agreement, was awarded the lease for $11 per animal unit month. Prior to its expiration in
May 1994 the lease was extended through the 1994 grazing season at the same rate with the
intent of going to bid for the 1995 season. In January 1995, staff issued a request for
proposals ("RFP") for a six -year livestock grazing lease structured similarly to the 1992 lease
that would coincide with the six -year demonstration phase of the MSR biosolids research
management plan. This lease was awarded to Natural Fort Grazing for $12.50 per animal
unit month. This lease has expired.
In October 2000, a new RFP was issued for a livestock grazing lease with a ten-year term.
Two lease proposals were reviewed. NFG's proposal was selected at a lease rate of $13 per
month for the first five years and $13.50 per animal unit month for the second five years. The
lease includes a commitment to long-term range management and a proven performance
record while increasing lease revenue to the City by 8%. NFG's proposal went a step further
to address multi- use concepts such as envisioning the Ranch as an outdoor classroom in
cooperation with CSU and Poudre School District R-1 on managed ecosystems and included
ideas on expanding both the rotational grazing and noxious plant management practices.
Their proposal includes the formation of a technical advisory group made up of City and
NFG representatives to create a ten-year improvement plan to enhance both communications
as well as Ranch facilities.
29. First Reading of Ordinance No. 193, 2000, Authorizing an Option to Lease, and a,
Subsequent Lease. of City -owned Property at City Park North Ballfield to Voicestream PCS
11, for the Location of Antenna Equipment Along With Associated Easements
Voicestream PCS I[[ Corporation ("Voicestream") contacted the Parks Division to discuss the
possible lease of land for an antenna to enhance its cellular phone service. The pole on
which the antenna would be located and a related utility and access easement are located in
City Park. Through a series of negotiations, staff has developed an option and lease
agreement that meets the needs of the City and Voicestream.
The agreement gives Voicestream the right to lease the subject property once it completes
testing of the site to confirm its suitability for Voicestream's purposes.

30. Resolution 2000-149 Approving the Purchase of Convention and Visitor Services from the
Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau. Inc.. as an Exception to the Competitive
Procurement Process.
The Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc. (the "CVB") has been performing
services related to tourism, convention and visitor activities for over ten Years. The current
agreement was negotiated in 1996 with four one year renewal options through 12/31/00.
The City and the CVB are jointly having an economic impact study performed with a
completion date expected in the next month. After that study is finished a request for
proposal will be issued and a new five-year agreement negotiated with the successful
proposer. Staff is requesting a three month extension of the current contract in order to have
adequate time to select and negotiate the new contract. A competitive process for these
services will be completed and a new contract in place by March 31, 2001.
31. Resolution 2000-150 Establishine Affordable Housing as the Highest Priority in the Use of
the City's Year 2001 Private Activity Bond Allocation.
Under Sections 103 and 141 of the Internal Revenue Code, the City may issue tax exempt
private activity revenue bonds for certain purposes. One of the qualified uses for private
activity bonds is for projects that will provide affordable housing for low and moderate
income individuals and families. The Colorado General Assembly established the Colorado
Private Activity Bond allocation program to provide for the allocation of the States PAB
ceiling under the federal Tax Reform Act of 1986.
The result of the federal and state laws is that the City of Fort Collins has a private activity
bond allocation of $2,837,700 for the year 2001. Based on recommendations in the City's
Priority Affordable Housing Needs and Strategies Report (the "Report") and the review and
recommendation of the Council Finance Committee, the proposed Resolution would set
affordable housing projects as the top priority use for the City's year 2001 private activity
bond allocation. In the event that no affordable housing applications are received, the City
may assign the allocation to other projects consistent with the City's and policies and
guidelines for private activity bonds.
32. Resolution 2000-151 Authorizingthe e Mayor to Enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement

2001.
This Resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement with
Larimer County for the purpose of providing social and human services to the City of Fort
Collins for the 2001 calendar year. The intergovernmental agreement allocates funds
appropriated in the 2000-2001 budget for these purposes. Since 1981, the City has
contracted with Larimer County to allocate and administer the distribution of human services
via the Health and Human Services Community Partnerships Program administered by the

part of the Four Corners Project, this artwork will create a consistent corridor effect in the
new Civic Center Area. The light pole enhancement sculpture designs will reflect the
designs of Andrew Dufford's bronze pavers, already created and partially installed in the
sidewalks along the corridor. In addition to the positive aesthetic impact the artwork will
have on the streetscape, it will speak to the history of Fort Collins and the activities in each
of the new Civic Center Structures: Civic, Judicial, Transportation, and Commerce.
