Second Reading of Ordinance No. 145, 1999 Appropriating Federal Grant Revenue and Authorizin¢the Transfer of Appropriations Between Projects in the Transportation Services Fund for the Operation of the North Front Range Transportation & Air Quality Planning Council's 1999-2000 Metropolitan Planning Organization Administration Program Year. The North Front Range Transportation&Air Quality Planning Council(NFRT&AQPC)is the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization. The administration/program budget for the NFRT&AQPC is funded with federal transportation program dollars administered by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) based on the federal fiscal and program year of October 1, 1999 to September 30, 2000. This period does not correspond to the City's calendar year appropriation time frame, and this time differential causes some accounting and budget management problems. Ordinance No. 145, 1999, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on September 7, 1999, enables staff to more consistently manage and track the NFRT&AQPC's budget and expenditures. 10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 1999, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Transportation Services Fund and Authorizing the Transfer ofAppropriations for the Purpose of Updating Access Control Plans For South College Avenue and Harmony Road The purpose of this project is to update the Access Control Plans(ACPs)for South College (US287)and Harmony Road(SH68). These ACPs were originally completed in 1988/1989 and need to be updated to reflect the land use and transportation changes experienced in these areas over the last 10 years. The Plans also need to be brought into conformance with the new State Highway Access Code categories designated for these corridors. The updated Plans will be developed jointly by the City and Colorado Department of Transportation staff. The work effort will include analysis of the current and projected traffic data and landuse changes/development activity trends. Staff will also work directly with property owners along each of the corridors as well as hold public open house meetings to address the concerns of area residents and business owners. As part of this project,the City and CDOT will be required to amend their existing Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) related to these Access Control Plans in order to reflect the necessary revisions/updates. Staff anticipates bringing the updated ACPs and amended IGAs to City Council in the spring of 2000. 11. Resolution 99-114 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Grant Agreement with the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regarding the Rehabilitation of Runway 15/33. In 1995 the Airport began work to rehabilitate its primary runway, 15/33. In 1995 the center section of the runway was milled away and crowned to provide adequate runway drainage. In 1997 the shoulders of the runway were milled and paved to complement and complete the 1995 runway project. This project,paving,grooving and painting the runway,completes the projects necessary to bring the runway up to FAA standards. City of Fort Collins printed on recycled paper PAGE This FAA entitlement grant would fund 90% of the project with the Airport providing the remaining 10% (City of Fort Collins [5%]) and City of Loveland [5%]). This project was identified(as"Maintain Airfield Pavements")in the Airport Master Plan,the Joint Planning Conference (a meeting of the Airport Manager, Airport users and FAA personnel that identified and prioritized grant projects)and the Airport Operations and Development Policy adopted by the Fort Collins and Loveland City Councils in July of 1994. The sponsors' share(Fort Collins-5%,Loveland-5%)has been earmarked and included in the 1999 Airport Budget. 12. Resolution 99-115 Approving an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation Providing for the Operation and Maintenance of Traffic Control Devices that are on State Highways Within or Adjacent to the City. The State of Colorado currently reimburses the City of Fort Collins for the operation and maintenance of 49 traffic signals, 89 crosswalks, stop bars, and 7.4 miles of signs and pavement markings. The contract amount has been increased from $2906.52 to $3,000 annually per traffic signal and from $887.70 to $960 annually per mile for signing and striping. During the five year contract period, traffic signals, crosswalks and stop bars can be added to the contract by submitting a Bilateral Change Order Letter. For the efficiency of travel flow and the safety and convenience of the public, the City of Fort Collins maintains and operates CDOT's traffic signals within the Urban Growth Area. The traffic signals are connected to the City's VMS Master Computer System. A review of the costs has shown that the reimbursement rate from CDOT is consistent with the City's costs. 13. Resolution 99-116 Finalizing the City's Decision with Regard to a Pronosed Minor Amendment to the Greens at Collindale PUD and Making Findings of Fact in Sunnort of Said Decision. On July, 15, 1999, an appeal of the July 1, 1999 final decision of the Planning and Zoning Board to deny a referred Minor Amendment for the Greens at Collindale PUD was filed by the Bill Watson of Landsource, LLC. After hearing the appeal on September 7, 1999, the City Council entertained a motion to uphold the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board,and the vote on that motion resulted in a 3-3 tie. No other motion was made. Accordingly, the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board stands. In order to complete the record regarding this appeal, the Council should adopt a resolution making findings of fact and finalizing the appeal.
