10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 081, 2004, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the

The Fort Collins Housing Authority("Authority")made a payment to the City from its 2004
budget for the sum of $10,682 as a "Payment in Lieu of Taxes" ("PILOT") for public
services and facilities. The Authority annually requests that the City refund the money to
fund sorely needed affordable housing related activities and to attend to the low-income
housing needs of Fort Collins residents.
Resolution 1992-093 reinstated the requirement that the Authority make annual PILOT
payments to the City. The City may spend the PILOT revenues as it deems appropriate in
accordance with law,including remitting the funds to the Authority if the Council determines
that such remittal serves a valid public purpose. The Council has remitted the PILOT

of the lease has been conducted by Airport staff, City staff including attorneys and the
Airport master plan consultant. The recommendations from this review have been
incorporated into the new agreement.

The guidelines for the Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism Programming

is to present three or more public events annually. These groups may apply for funding from
Tier#1 each April. Tier#2 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier#1 support to
apply for funding of events that are not fund-raising in nature and do not generate more than
$5,000 in proceeds after expenses. Tier#3 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier
41 support to apply for funding of events that generate more than $5,000 in proceeds after
