First Reading of Ordinance No. 82, 2000, Amending Ordinance No. 118, 1999 Which Provided for the Issuance of $8,890,000 of Private Activity Bonds for the Dry Creek Apartments Project and Authorizing the Execution of Certain Related Documents and Instruments.

Ordinance No. 118, 1999 provided for temporary financing that would be converted to permanent financing within one year.

First Readine of Ordinance No. 83, 2000,Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain Proceedines of Certain Lands for the Locust Street Outfall Project. The construction of the Locust Street Outfall is scheduled to start this summer. As part of the design process, an application was submitted to OmniTRAX, Inc., a holding company for the Great Western Railroad, for the crossing of the railroad tracks via a tunnel/bore. OmniTRAX indicated that it would allow the crossing of the tracks, but the City needed to pay$1,500 per year or a lump sum of$37,000 for the crossing. These fees are considerably higher than the City has historically paid for crossing licenses. Staff has attempted to negotiate with the Railway Company,without success. Staff recommends commencing the eminent domain process to obtain an easement across the railroad right-of-way. 18.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 87,2000,Calling a Special Municipal Election to Be Held in Conjunction with the November 7, 2000 Larimer County General Election. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 88, 2000, Submitting to a Vote of the Registered Electors of the City of Fort Collins Proposed Amendments to Articles IX and X of the City Charter, Pertaining to Petition Circulators. C. First Reading of Ordinance No. 89, 2000, Submitting to a Vote of the Registered Electors of the City of Fort Collins a Proposed Amendment to Article IV of the City Charter, Pertaining to Residency Requirements. Ordinance No. 87, 2000, calls a Special Municipal Election to be held in conjunction with the November 7,2000 Larimer County General Election. The remaining Ordinances place individual Charter amendments on the November 7, 2000 Special Election ballot. The proposed Charter amendments were considered by the Council Governance Committee,and discussed by the Council at its June 27 study session. 21. First Reading of Ordinance No. 90, 2000, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Deed Establishing and Limiting Rights of Access Along a Certain Portion of State Highway 68 (Harmony Road), and Accepting a Quit Claim from the Colorado Department of Transportation to the City Eliminating Existing Rights and Limitations of Access. The Preston Center at Wild Wood Business Park First Filing (the "Development") was approved by the City early in 1999 and included in its approval the dedication to the City of a new street to be known as Gifford Court, which street will intersect with East Harmony Road. The Development approval also included certain other City-required improvements to Harmony Road along that portion of Harmony Road abutting the Development. The developer has completed the construction of Gifford Court in accordance with the approved utility plans but has not connected Gifford Court to Harmony Road because the connection to Harmony Road cannot be allowed until the access line ("A-Line") as previously established by the Colorado Department of Transportation("CDOT")and the City has been amended to make accommodation for Gifford Court and for the other improvements. The A-Line is an "imaginary" line established by CDOT and agreed upon by the property owners adjacent to the A-Line establishing the rights and limitations on access to the state highway. CDOT has developed a system whereby the A-Line is established through deeds so as to protect CDOT from subsequent arguments by adjacent property owners that they may own a real property interest in access to the highway. Therefore, the A-Line was originally established by deeds to CDOT both limiting and granting access to Harmony City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper PAGE 7 Road. In order to modify the A-Line, CDOT has prepared and executed a quit claim deed to the City and the other adjacent property owners quit claiming CDOT's interest in the presently existing A-Line. However,CDOT will not deliver the quit claim deed eliminating the present A-Line unless all of the adjacent property owners grant to CDOT a new warranty deed establishing the new access points and new limitations and other improvements. The City becomes involved in this because of its ownership of the right-of-way for Gifford Court. Since the City already has recorded the development plat, it owns the right-of-way for Gifford Court and becomes an adjacent property owner along that stretch of Harmony Road. 22. Resolution 2000-90 Amending the City of Fort Collins Firefighters' Pension Plan. In 1991,the City of Fort Collins authorized active members of the Firefighters'Pension Plan to convert to a money purchase defined contribution pension plan. The total assets of the Plan were divided among the active members and the remaining retirees and beneficiaries. Since the active members left this Plan,the remaining assets of the Plan have been invested in order to provide ongoing monthly payments to the retirees and beneficiaries of the Plan. This Resolution provides the authorization for the City to acquire annuities for the retirees and beneficiaries. The annuities will include a"catch-up"cost of living adjustment for all retirees and beneficiaries. Due to the recent rise in interest rates,the assets of the Plan were sufficient to also include an annual cost of living adjustment of 1% per year, the first of which is to occur on September 1,2001. Once the annuities are purchased,the Plan will be terminated. 23. Resolution 2000-91 Adopting the Recommendation of the Cultural Resources Board Regarding Fort Fund Disbursements. On November 30, 1998 revised guidelines for the Cultural Development and Programming and Tourism accounts (Fort Fund)were adopted and approved through the City Manager's office. These newly adopted guidelines created a three-tiered funding system for organizations that apply for grants from Fort Fund. Tier#1 was established as an annual programming fund for organizations whose primary purpose 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 $2,500 in proceeds after expenses. Tier#3 allows organizations that are not eligible for Tier#1 support to apply for funding of events that generate more than $2,500 in proceeds after expenses and are fund- raising in nature. Applications for support from Tier #2 and Tier #3 are accepted each January and June. City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper PAGE 8 24.

The authority is to consist of commissioners selected by the City Council. Ordinance No. 72, 2000, which was adopted on June 20, 2000, increased the number of commissioners from five to seven. Pursuant to state statute the commissioners will serve terms that are staggered from the date of their appointment so that,to the extent possible,the terms of an equal number of commissioners will end each year. Thereafter,the term of office shall be five years. Several meetings were held to discuss the qualities needed by successful commissioners,a list was generated and the recommended people were contacted. These people all expressed City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper PAGE 9 great interest and enthusiasm. On June 20,2000,Council adopted Resolution 2000-83 which appointed six members to the Housing Authority Board.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 84, 2000,Amending Ordinance No. 40, 2000,Authorizing Acquisition by Eminent Domain Proceedings of Certain Easements for the Locust Street Outfall Proiect. The construction of the Locust Street Outfall project is currently scheduled for the summer and fall of 2000.

Additional inlets,necessary curb and gutter replacement,and asphalt replacement will also be replaced with a 27-inch sanitary sewer, roughly following the route of the proposed storm sewer. In April 2000,City Council adopted Ordinance No.40,2000,authorizing the use of eminent domain if necessary to obtain the needed easements. After adoption of Ordinance No. 40, 2000, the legal description for the temporary construction easement for one of the parcels needed for the Project changed. Staff has contacted the property owner affected by this change, and with this amendment, believes a willing seller agreement can be reached with the property owner. However, in order for the eminent domain authority granted by the City Council in April to conform to City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper PAGE 11 the most current project plans, staff is asking that Council approve this Ordinance revising the legal description for the required temporary construction easement. 31.
