The additional outparcel is included to correct a previously approved Latimer County Minor Land Division right of way dedication (Staley/Poudre School MLD 00-S 1535).

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 028 2002,Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Matching Funds Previously Appropriated in the Advance Planning Budget for the Buckingham. Alta Vista, and Andersonville Neighborhoods Survey Grant Project. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2002, appropriates grant funds so that an intensive-level historic survey of approximately 150 properties, and the preparation of three historic contexts, on the sugar beet industry, the Germans from Russia in Fort Collins, and the Hispanics in Fort Collins can be conducted. 11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 029 2002, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Capital Projects Fund and the Capital Improvement Expansion Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations Between Funds for the Purpose of Constructing Improvements at Sheldon Lake in CityP ark. Staff has determined that growth of population in the general service area of City Park has resulted and will continue to result in increased use of City Park,including increased demand for footpaths and pedestrian access around Sheldon Lake. In order to accommodate this increasing demand for pedestrian walkways, and to absorb the increased pedestrian traffic around and in the vicinity of Sheldon Lake in City Park, certain improvements around the perimeter of Sheldon Lake are necessary. Consequently, staff proposed that funds in the amount of $125,000 be appropriated from current year revenues received in the Capital Improvement Expansion Fee Fund for Community Park Improvements, to be used for boardwalk and shoreline improvements around Sheldon Lake. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2002, appropriates the $175,000 donation from the Wilkins Trust for this project. hiogd Oa geyeMd yp� City of Fort Collins PAGE 4 12. Second Reading of Ordinance No 030 2002 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves Designated for Community Park Improvements in the Capital Improvement Expansion Fund for Transfer to the Capital Projects Fund Webster Community Park Capital Project and the Kechter Road Improvements Proiect for the Purpose of Acquiring Land from Poudre School District for the Webster Community Park Site and for the Construction of Improvements to Kechter Road. The Parks and Recreation Policy Plan,which was adopted by City Council in 1996,plans for community parks to be developed throughout the City. The southeast section of the community will need to be served by a 50 to 60 acre community park based on the projected density of residential development. Poudre School District and the City have looked at the Webster Site as a joint location for the new 2004 high school and a community park. The District purchased the 160-acre site in 2001. It is cost effective to develop Kechter Road along the park boundary in conjunction with the construction of roads and infrastructure for the new high school. Building the road now also benefits the students and Poudre School District by improving access to the new high school. Ordinance No.030,2002,was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19,2002. 13.

The City of Fort Collins and the Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT)along with the City's consulting team have been working to finalize the conceptual design plan for the City of Fort Collins ® niRd nn nnyoMdvw PAGE 6 first phase of the North College Improvement Project. The first phase of this project includes the portion of North College Avenue(US287)from the Jefferson Street(SH 14)/Maple Street intersection on the south to Vine Drive on the north. The conceptual design plan has been developed in accordance with the North College Avenue/US 287 Access Management Plan. This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2002. 18. First Reading of Ordinance No 039 2002 Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund for the Fort Collins Public Library.

First Reading of Ordinance No 040 2002 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Street Oversizing Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations from the Street Oversizing Fund to the Capital Protects Fund for the Shields Street, Stuart Street to Hobbit Drive, Project. This is a joint project between the City's Street Oversizing Program and the City's Pavement Management Program to rehabilitate and improve Shields Street from the Stuart Street intersection, north to the Shields and Prospect intersection, including repaving of the Shields/Prospect intersection to correct rutting of the pavement. This portion of Shields Street was scheduled for routine maintenance, including concrete curb and gutter repairs and milling and re-paving of the asphalt surface. The intersection of Shields and Prospect was included due to substantial rutting of the pavement in the intersection and all approach lanes. There is an undeveloped property on the east side of Shields Street between Stuart Street and Hobbit Drive. The owners of the property are actively marketing it for development and are preparing for submittal. The Street Oversizing Program worked with the developer of the property to finalize the design plans for Shields Street ahead of the development to include the improvements into the City's Pavement Management Program for this year. It seemed more cost effective to complete the improvements at this time with the currently proposed rehabilitation project. This also places the financial responsibility for this segment on the development through the Street Oversizing Program, and conserves the City's pavement maintenance dollars. The developer of the property will be required to reimburse the fund for the local street portion of the improvements to be constructed associated with that property. The improvements will include completing the curb and gutter along the east side, construction of a pull out bus stop with benches and shelter, sidewalks, crosswalks and ramps, streetscape landscaping, and milling and re-paving of the asphalt surface course.
