CONSENT CALENDAR
7. Postponement of Second Reading of Ordinance No. 199, 1999, Authorizing the Lease of
Portions of the Resource Recovery Farm to LaFarge Corooration for Sand and Gravel Mining
in Order to Protect Sensitive Natural Habitats Along the Cache la Poudre River. to March
7, 2000.
Ordinance No. 199, 1999, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on December
7, 1999, enables implementation of a unique natural area conservation project involving the
City of Fort Collins, LaFarge Corporation, Flatiron Companies, and Colorado State
University. The collaborative project will save from sand and gravel mining approximately
40 acres of meadow and mature riparian forest along the Cache la Poudre River that
represents some of the most unique and valuable wildlife habitat in the Fort Collins area. In
exchange for not mining these sensitive natural habitats, approximately 106 acres of much
less sensitive agricultural land on the City's Resource Recovery Farm will instead be mined.
Reclamation of the mined area on the Resource Recovery Farm will enhance the wildlife
habitat diversity and overall value of the natural areas along this reach of the Cache la Poudre
River. This area will enhance the City's efforts to protect and enhance the wildlife habitat,
aesthetic, and recreational values of this section of the Poudre River consistent with the
City's Natural Areas Policies and will also enhance programs at CSU's Environmental
Leaming Center.
Second Reading of this Ordinance was postponed to February 15, 2000 to allow additional
time to finalize the necessary lease and contractual documents with LaFarge, Flatiron, and
Colorado State University. Another postponement is needed until March 7, 2000.

8. Items Related to the Issuance of City of Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority
Subordinate Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2000.
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 9,2000,Authorizing the Issuance of City of Fort
Collins, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority Subordinate Tax Increment
Revenue Bonds,Series 2000A,Dated their Delivery Date,in the Aggregate Principal
Amount of$608,000 for the Purpose of Financing Certain Capital Improvements and
Capital Projects; and Providing for the Pledge of Certain Incremental Ad Valorem
Tax Revenues to Pay the Principal of, Interest on and any Premium Due in
Connection with the Redemption of the Bonds.
On February 4,2000,the City accepted bids from financial institutions interested in buying
the bonds. The lowest cost offer to buy the bonds was submitted by Key Bank. Key Bank
bid a rate of 5.775%which will reset as the prime rate changes. City staff has evaluated the
Key Bank offer to buy and has found it to be in the City's best interest to accept the offer to
buy the bonds. The Ordinance has been revised to reflect the variable interest rate of the
bonds and the appropriate amounts.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 10, 2000, Appropriating Proceeds from the
Issuance of City of Fort Collins, Colorado, Downtown Development Authority
Taxable Subordinate Tax Increment Revenue Bonds,Series 2000,for the Purpose of
Making Certain Capital Improvements in the Downtown Area of Fort Collins,
Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations Between Funds and Appropriating
Expenditures from the DDA Debt Service Fund to Make the 2000 Payment on the
Bonds.
Ordinance No.10, 2000, has been revised. The project managers met on February 4, 2000,
and decided that money for the Four Comers and Walnut Street projects would have more
flexibility if the amounts of money for the projects were transferred to the City capital
projects fund. This helps the project managers because the appropriation does not lapse at
year-end. Due to the need to coordinate these projects with several other downtown area
improvements, there is some possibility that these two projects may not be completed by
December 31,2000. This ordinance has also been revised to lower the estimated 2000 debt
service costs from$80,000 to$50,000. Annual debt service payments for ensuing years will
be included in the annual appropriations ordinance.
C. First Reading of Ordinance No. 23,2000,Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in
the Capital Projects Fund for the Purpose of Constructing Improvements in the
Downtown Area Consistent with the Mission of the Downtown Development
Authority.
The Budget Office has prepared a new appropriations ordinance, Ordinance No. 23, 2000,
which appropriates the transferred bond proceeds in the capital projects fund. This
City of Fort Collins 1;�<9 printed on recycled paper

Ordinance is being presented on First Reading. Second Reading will occur on March 7,
2000. This timeline fits the project manager's plan to begin the improvements in early 2000.

Garage and Shed, 321-323 East Laurel Street,as a Local Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14

Collins.
Debra Applin and Polly Puleston, owners of property in the proposed Sheely Drive
Neighborhood District, are initiating this request for Local Landmark designation for the
above properties.The Sheely Drive District is eligible for designation as a Fort Collins Local
Landmark District, for its innovative architecture, for its historical association with several
prominent Fort Collins business and civic leaders, and for its portrayal of the social,
economic, and technological changes occurring in Fort Collins and Colorado following
World War II. The first of Fort Collins'post-World War II affluent neighborhoods, Sheely
Drive is among Fort Collins' best representations of the suburban lifestyle emerging in the
United States during the 1950s. Ordinance No. 12,2000 was unanimously adopted on First
Reading on February 1, 2000.
11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 13,2000,Amending Chanter 7.5 of the Ci1y Code b e
Addition of a New Article V Pertainine to the Imposition of Certain Regional Capital
Improvement Expansion Fees.
In November 1998, Larimer County Commissioners approved new Development Impact
Fees that will apply to new construction in the County. These fees included a regional road
fee and a regional park fee. Larimer County has asked the City to consider implementing a
regional road fee for development within the City limits. The fee would be implemented in
addition to existing City and School District fees. As funds accumulate from the collection
of fees in both the City and the County,the two governments will work together to determine
how and when those funds will be expended to improve the five regional roads. Ordinance
No. 13, 2000, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 1, 2000,
amends the City Code to include certain Regional Capital Improvement Expansion fees.

12. Second Reading. of Ordinance No. 14, 2000 Authorizing the Conveyance of High School
Park to Colorado State University Research Foundation In Exchange for the 18 Acre
Community Horticulture Center Site.
Since May 1998,City Council has,on three occasions,studied and considered possible sites
for the Community Horticulture Center. The result has been a narrowing of preference by
Council for the CSURF site. Most recently, in March 1999,the City Council directed staff
to prepare the legal documents to complete a land exchange deal with Colorado State
University Research Foundation(CSURF)to secure a site for the Community Horticulture
Center. Ordinance No. 14, 2000, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on
February 1, 2000, completes the transaction for transfer of the High School Park site to
CSURF in exchange for the CSURF site.
13. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 15, 2000, Authorizing the City Manager to Enter Into
Long-Term Leases of the McKee Property and Longview Farm with Harold Sauer for
Drvland Farming and Grazing,
The Natural Resources Department purchased the McKee property in 1997 for open space
and the Natural Areas Program is responsible for managing this property. This open space
has yet to be officially named. The property is approximately 970 acres, with 840 acres of
dryland farm and 130 acres of pasture.The original farm tenant terminated the farming lease
about six months ago, stating that it was no longer economical to farm the property. The
terms of this lease will hopefully make it economical for Mr.Sauer to farm and maintain this
property. Ordinance No. 15,2000,was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February
1, 2000.
14. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 16, 2000 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves.
Ordinance No. 16, 2000, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 1,
2000, reappropriates approximately $9.2 million of 1999 monies for the same uses or
purposes in 2000 as originally approved by Council in 1999.
15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 17,2000,Amending Portions of the City Code Concerning
the Citizen Review Board Subcommittees.
The current provisions of the City Code concerning the Citizen Review Board(CRB)require
that the CRB maintain the confidentiality of all internal investigation files and all
information and evidence received which are related to personnel matters(§2-140(h)). This
provision is consistent with the need to maintain the confidentiality of personnel files and
internal investigation files,but is not consistent with other provisions of the City Code which
allow police and community service officers who may be the subject of the investigation to
request that the review sessions of the CRB subcommittees be open to the public. The
proposed changes set forth in this ordinance would allow the CRB review subcommittees to
City of Fort Collins '�:3 printed on recycled paper

maintain the confidentiality of those portions of the subcommittee review sessions that do
not directly relate to the officer's personnel interest.
16. First Reading of Ordinance No. 18, 2000, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into
an Agreement for the Financing by Lease-Purchase of a Computer Aided Dispatch and
Records Management System (CAD/RMS).

agreement with the selected company at the lowest interest rate offered. The agreement will
be for an original term from the execution date of the agreements to the end of the current
fiscal year. The agreement provides for renewable one-year terms thereafter,for a total term
of five (5) years, subject to annual appropriation of funds needed for lease payments. The
total lease terms,including the original and all renewal terms,will not exceed the useful life
of the property. This lease-purchase financing is consistent with the financial policies of the
City of Fort Collins.
17. First Reading of Ordinance No. 19, 2000,Approving the Terms of the Lease for the Citv's
Lease of Building 15, Old Town Square.
In order for this property to become tax exempt, state law requires that the Council approve
the terms of the lease by Ordinance.
Since February 1996, the City has been leasing space in Old Town Square for the Police
Services District One office. Police staff and the Old Town Square have been working
together to find a new space in Old Town to replace their basement location. A new space
became available and the City entered into a new Lease Agreement dated December 12,
1999,with a term of five years that commenced January 1,2000,following a month of tenant
finish work. The tenant finish work was paid for with contributions from the Landlord
(Progressive Old Town Square,LLC),the former tenant,and the City. The new location has
2,075 square feet of office space and is located in the 200 block of Walnut Street. District
One houses a Police Museum and office space for officers. The base rental for the first year
of the lease is $18,675, or $9 per square foot, which will be adjusted annually by the
Consumer Price Index. In addition to the base rental,the City will also pay the Landlord for
the common area maintenance,its insurance and utilities. These costs total$3.76 per square
foot,bringing the total price per square foot to $12.76. The only other expense paid by the
City is the janitorial expense. The base rent will increase to $11 per square foot at the
commencement of the third year of the lease.

Since December 1994,the City has been leasing the building at 405 Canyon Avenue(2,577
square feet) for the Human Rights Office and the Neighborhood Resources Office. The
previously approved lease expired November 30, 1999. Staff has renegotiated the lease to
continue for an additional five years. The Lease Agreement commenced on January 1,2000
and continues for successive annual terms through December 31,2004,with the City having
the option to terminate at each anniversary date if sufficient funds are not budgeted. The
rental for this facility is$2,630 per month,which equates to$12.75/square foot. This rental
will be in effect for the first two years of the lease. Each of the remaining renewals terms
will be increased by the annual Consumer Price Index. The City will be responsible for the
utilities, custodial and carpet services, snow removal, and insurance. The Landlord is
responsible for major building maintenance and ground maintenance.
19. Resolution 2000-29 Authorizing One or More Intergovernmental Agreements with Poudre
School District and Approving the Project List for the Building Community Choices
City/School District Capital Projects.
In August, 1999, the City/Poudre School District Liaison Committee supported a
recommendation to expend funds from Building Community Choices (BCC) on several
capital projects that will benefit the City, the Poudre School District (PSD), and the
community. City and PSD staff conducted outreach this past fall, and found widespread
support for the projects.
On January 24, 2000, the Board of Education voted to support the Liaison Committee's
recommended projects, which include the following: (1)develop a softball field at Poudre
High School,Rocky Mountain High School, and Preston Junior High School; (2) renovate
existing softball/baseball fields at Blevins and Webber Junior High Schools; (3) move a
soccer field at Rocky Mountain High School; (4) build an in-line hockey rink and a skate
park at Edora Park; and (5) renovate the skate park at the Northside Aztlan Community
Center.
20. Resolution 2000-30 Approving the Purchase of a Wirtgen W2000 Rotomill from Faris
Machinery as an Exception to the City's Competitive Purchasing Requirements.
The Streets Department has been using Wirtgen profilers (rotomills) since 1992. The
machines have proven to be reliable and effective for removing roadway asphalt in
maintenance operations. Streets considers this machine to be superior to competitive units
because it has a four-track drive system, is heavier, more powerful, uses a strike-off plate,
and has a well designed milling drum.
Due to the design advantages of the Wirtgen W2000 and the lack of suitable substitutes,the
Purchasing Agent has determined that a competitive process cannot reasonably be used and,
if used would result in a substantially higher cost to the City and may result in the
impairment of the City's delivery of services to the public.

21. Resolution 2000-31 Approving the Purchase of 800MHz Communications System
Equipment as an Exception to the City's Competitive Purchasing Requirements.
Over the next several years the City will be migrating all radio equipment to 800MHz
technology. Currently, City departments, including Police Services, use UHF radio
frequencies which are incompatible with surrounding agencies. The State of Colorado,
Poudre School District, Loveland, and Greeley are using or transitioning to 800MHz
technology using the Motorola infrastructure, as described below.
Motorola is already the primary supplier of radio equipment to the City. Realizing the extent
of the migration to 800MHz technology and the need for various public safety agencies to
be able to cooperate with one another,Motorola designed and set up the basic infrastructure
for an area-wide 800MHz system. The term"infrastructure" means the antennas,which are
located throughout the local area, transmitter and receiver sites, along with the computer
hardware and software to make the system work. Motorola has created the basic structure
of the system. What the City will be purchasing is a share of the components,along with the
vehicle and locally sited radio equipment.
22. Resolution 2000-32 Setting Forth the Intention of the City to Issue Multi-Family Housing
Revenue Bonds for the National Healthcare Associates Residence at Oakridge Assisted
Living Proiect and Authorizing the Execution ofanAssignmentAgreement and aDelegation
Agreement with Larimer County.
In late December 1999, Mr. Robert Mattrazo, a representative of the National Healthcare
Associates Project (the "Project"), contacted staff members of the Advance Planning and
Finance Departments. The organization has requested the City consider issuing private
activity bonds for the purpose of acquiring property,constructing and equipping an assisted
living multifamily housing project in the southeast part Fort Collins. The Project would
qualify as a low-income rental housing project.
The project is located along McMurray Drive in Oakridge Business Park. Forty-four units
(58 beds) will be included in the project. Of the total, 50% of the units (beds)will be
affordable to persons whose incomes do not exceed 60%of the Area Median Income. The
remaining units will be leased at market rental rates.
Passage of this Resolution will allow the City to issue up to $4.5 million in tax-exempt
private activity bonds for the purpose of constructing the project. The issuance is contingent
on the Project receiving an additional allocation from the Statewide Balance or the Colorado
Housing Finance Authority. The Resolution also authorizes the execution of an Assignment
Agreement and a Delegation Agreement with the County, which would carry out the
proposed assignment of the County's allocation to the City. The execution of those
agreements is made contingent upon the receipt of the necessary additional allocations for
City of Fort Collins 1�;3 printed on recycled paper
PAGE 9
the Project. The proposal is consistent with the City's adopted policies regarding the
issuance of multi-family rental housing bonds.
Staff finds that the project is consistent with Council's goal of increasing the quality of
affordable housing in the City. The project also serves a special niche in the housing market,
that of low-income seniors that require some assistance in the course of their daily lives. The
project proponent has prepared and submitted an application to secure an the additional
Private Activity Bond Allocation from the Statewide Balance of private activity bonds.
Based on Council's action on the resolution,the City will support the project proponent in
its application to Larimer County and the competitive statewide balance. The deadline for
applications for allocations is January 21, 2000.
23. Resolution 2000-33 Adopting a Process and Procedure for Amending City Plan and the
Elements Thereof.
This Resolution adopts a process and procedure for amending City Plan and the
Comprehensive Plan Elements thereof. A description of this process, procedure and types
of amendments will be incorporated into the appendix of City Plan. In addition, City Plan
Growth Management Principles and Policies will be revised to describe the amendment
process including frequency,scope,types of amendments,consistency and decision-making
body.

27. Resolution 2000-37 Adopting the Recommendation of the Cultural Resources Board
Regarding Fort Fund Disbursements.
The Cultural Resources Board is authorized by the City Code to review proposals for funding
from the Cultural Programming Account and the Tourism Programming Account, and to
submit recommendations to the City Council regarding such proposals for approval. The
Cultural Development and Programming Account is used to support cultural development
and programming activities. The Tourism Programming Account is used for funding of
tourist-related special events,because it is generated from the portion of the lodging tax that
is designated for the promotion of convention and visitor activities. Both of these funds are
used to fund grants through the Fort Fund program.
28. Resolution 2000-38 Extending the Time Period for the Housing Authority to Exercise a
Right of First Refusal to Acquire Certain City Propea.
On November 2, 1999, Council adopted Resolution 99-133 approving the acquisition of
approximately 168 acres of land from Willing Acres Company,the majority of which is to
be utilized by the City as the Hazaleus Natural Area. Resolution 99-133 also authorized the
future sale of a portion of the property for affordable housing development and granted the
Fort Collins Housing Authority a first right of refusal, through February 29, 2000, on the
development parcel. This Resolution extends the time period for one year for the Housing
Authority to enter into a binding agreement with the City. This additional time is needed for

29. Resolution 2000-39 Authorizing the Lease of 304 and 304Y2 North Howes Street.
The City has entered into an agreement to purchase Lot 15 Block 33 with a scheduled closing
date of February 28, 2000. The lot is being purchased as part of the Civic Center Master
Plan,and is the only parcel on Block 33 that is not currently owned by the City. Currently,
there are two leases in effect on the property. One is a residence lease of 304 North Howes
Street and one is a business lease for the structure at 304'/z North Howes Street.
The City's use of this block is still being planned;therefore,staff would like to continue the
lease with the current residential tenant and negotiate a new lease for the business space for
a period of up to two years, with the City having the option to terminate at any time with a
sixty-day notice to the tenants. The lease term would remain as it currently is for the
residence at $775 per month and lease the business for at least $750 per month. The
proposed lease agreements would be ready to be signed and become effective at the closing
for the purchase of the land.
30. Resolution 2000-40 Stating the City's Intent to Not Act as a Reviewing Entity for the
Colorado Historic Preservation Income Tax Credit for Qualifying Historic Rehabilitation
Projects Under Colorado House Bill 90-1033 (CRS 39-22-514).
As a Certified Local Government,Fort Collins has the opportunity each year to choose to be
a reviewing entity for the Colorado Historic Preservation Income Tax Credit during the next
calendar year. The City Council must adopt a resolution stating whether or not it intends to
take on this responsibility in the next year.
Fort Collins became a Certified Local Government in 1991 when the Colorado Income Tax
Credit was instituted,but didn't take on the reviewing entity function for this program until
1995. For three years,the Landmark Preservation Commission was the reviewing entity and
performed design review on qualifying historic rehabilitation projects for the Colorado
Income Tax Credit. They declined the review in 1998 and 1999.
31. Resolution 2000-41 Making Appointments to the Affordable Housing Board and the Golf

32. Resolution 2000-42 Approving_a Stipulated Determination of Vested Rights Between the
City and Sollenberger Development Corporation.
Ordinance No. 161, 1996,(the"Ordinance")established certain rules for transitioning from
the Land Development Guidance System into the new Land Use Code. When the Ordinance
was passed by the Council, it included a vested rights determination procedure in order to
prevent manifest injustice in cases where the application of the transition rules would work
an undue hardship.
Sollenberger Development Corporation(the"Applicant")owns atract of land located within
the Oak/Cottonwood Farm Overall Development Plan (the "ODP"). The ODP, consisting
of over 100 acres,was approved by the City under the Land Development Guidance System

37. First Reading of Ordinance No. 21, 2000, Amending Chapter 3 and 16 of the City Code
Desisinatina the Municipal Judge as the Liquor and Massage Licensing Authori1y.
Currently all liquor and massage licensing matters are heard by the Liquor and Massage
Licensing Authority. Council appoints 7 volunteers to serve on this quasi-judicial board.
Each Authority member can serve up to two 4 year terms.
On December 9, 1999,the Health&Safety Committee discussed the liquor licensing process
and various alternatives in designating an Authority. The Committee requested that a draft
ordinance establishing the Municipal Court Judge as the Liquor Licensing Authority be
prepared for discussion at the January 20, 2000 Health and Safety Committee meeting.
Staff presented the draft ordinance to the Health and Safety Committee on January 20,2000.
The Committee briefly discussed the Ordinance, made no substantive changes, and
recommended it be brought to Council for formal consideration.
38. First Readine.of Ordinance No. 22, 2000, Amending Article XV of Chapter 15 of the City
Code Regarding Solid Waste Collection and Recycling Services by Adding Provisions
Pertaining to Procedural Requirements and Adding a Document Retention Requirement.
The existing Code provisions require trash hauling companies to charge variable rates (the
more you throw away,the more you pay)to residential single-family households, a system
that creates financial incentive for households to accomplish greater levels ofwaste reduction
and recycling. Currently,only a surveillance approach would allow the City to conclusively
establish compliance with this requirement. Through review of certain records(i.e.,haulers'
daily routing sheets),the City would be able to monitor compliance with the PAYT system.
The Ordinance was developed as a follow-up assignment to the study session in August 1999
when Council expressed interest in continuing to improve recycling in the community. After
evaluating the 1995 PAYT provisions, staff determined that the City would need to specify
this new record-keeping requirement in order to ensure that variable rates are being applied,
and would be better able to monitor and enforce compliance with the Code provisions
through the addition of the suggested procedural requirements and mechanisms.

the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Section 8 Management Assessment Program(SEMAP)was established to objectively
measure public housing agency performance in key Section 8 tenant-based assistance
program areas. SEMAP is intended to enable HUD to ensure program integrity and
accountability by identifying management capabilities and deficiencies.
Housing Authorities(HAs)must submit the HUD-required SEMAP certification form within
60 calendar days after the end of its fiscal years. The certification must be approved by
Housing Authority Board resolution and be signed by the board of commissioners'
chairperson and by the executive director.
7. Resolution No. 27 Revising the Policy Regarding the Capitalization of Assets.
The existing policy regarding the capitalization of assets states that all items having a value
above $100 and a useful life of more than three years be capitalized. During the audit of the
1998 fiscal year, the auditors, Bondi and Associates, recommended that the capitalization
threshold be changed to $5,000 in order to conform with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP). The Resolution approves that change in policy and also lowers the
useful life threshold to one year.
