Second Reading of Ordinance No. 217,2001,Amending the Zoning Map of the City of Fort Collins by Changing the Zoning Classification for That Certain Property Known as the Front Range Rezoning. Ordinance No. 217, 2001, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 18,2001,amends the Zoning Map by the changing zoning classification for the Front Range Rezoning. 12. Resolution 2002-001 Approving the Purchase of Two Elgin Eagle Series F Street Sweeper Bodies from Faris Machinery as an Exception to the Competitive Procurement Process. The Streets Department switched to using Elgin truck-mounted sweepers in the mid-nineties. Sweeping costs in 1995,prior to the switch,were$28.75 per lane mile. In 2001 that cost had fallen to$23.01 per lane mile. The reduction in costs are due to several factors. The sweeper unit is powered by a separate diesel engine and is totally independent of the truck power plant. This makes for a more flexible application and less stress on the sweeper systems, minimizing breakdown and repair. Fleet Service stocks those parts which are most often needed to maintain the machines but does not need to stock parts for other, dissimilar sweepers. Mechanic and operator training is focused on a single machine, leveraging the City's investment in this pool of experience. The two units to be purchased are to replace machines reaching the end of their service life. Previous Elgin Eagles have been procured using State or other public entity bids. No such bids have been awarded recently enough to be used for this purchase. In addition, because of the solid performance and superior service provided by the Eagle sweepers, staff would like to continue to standardize on this type of machine for the foreseeable future. Section 8-161 of the Code states that any exemption to the use of competitive bidding in excess of$100,000 must be approved by the City Council. This Resolution will authorize the purchase of two Elgin Eagle Series F street sweeper bodies as an exemption to the use of competitive bid or proposal as provided in Section 8-161(d)(4). 13. Resolution 2002-002 Approving the Purchase of Special Rotary ydrated Lime from Mississippi Lime Liquid Aluminum Sulfate from General Chemical Cationic Polymer from Aqua Ben and 60%Calcium Carbonate/40%Magnesium Hydroxide from ACM Corporation as Exceptions to the Competitive Procurement Process. The Fort Collins Water Treatment Facility (FCWTF) is requesting to purchase from Mississippi Lime, special rotary hydrated (SRH) lime for alkalinity addition or pH adjustment. Mississippi Lime has been the vendor in the past and is an excellent vendor. Pricing of this product has changed little in the last four years. The SRH lime is a food grade City of Fort Collins PAGE 5 lime that mixes with the water to achieve the correct pH faster and causes less sludge at the bottom of the mixing tanks. Other types of lime require more product to attain the necessary pH and require the mixing tanks to be cleaned more often due to the faster accumulation of non-mixed lime sludge. The FCWTF has also experienced performance problems with the lime feeder. Through experimentation of different brands, purity, and density of lime, the WTF found that the SRH lime significantly reduced the feeder performance problems by eliminating deposits of lime on all interior surfaces of the mix tanks. A mixture of lime and carbon dioxide is used in the water stabilization program to inhibit corrosion in the water distribution plumbing. To this date,the City has not been able to find another company that makes special rotary hydrated lime. The Fort Collins Water Treatment Facility (FCWTF) is also requesting to purchase liquid aluminum sulfate(Alum)from General Chemical for use as the primary coagulant. Delivery of alum is required within 24-hours after order placement;therefore proximity of the supply source is a primary concern. General Chemical has been the City's vendor in the past and is an excellent vendor. Pricing of this product has not changed in the last three years. The proximity of the manufacturing facility in Denver assures continuity of supply that cannot be attained from other sources; also, weight of the product in liquid form causes transportation cost to be a major cost factor. Fort Collins Water Reclamation is also requesting approval to purchase from Aqua Ben our cationic polymer for dewatering the centrifuge and dissolved air floatation processes. To date, the 686N polymer is the only one tested extensively in our centrifuges and approved with satisfactory results. This product is stored in close proximity to our site and available within 24 hours between order and delivery. Aqua Ben has provided consistent performance,timely delivery, and consistent product characteristics. Fort Collins Water Reclamation is also requesting approval to purchase from ACM Corporation the 60%Calcium Carbonate/40%Magnesium Hydroxide product for pH control. The 60/40 Nutracite is a dry,mined product that works very well in the secondary system for PH elevation. Due to the extra cost of hauling water, we are migrating to the dry product. This vendor is the only one that supplies this product. This product is also much safer to handle than other chemicals (i.e. sodium hydroxide) and is not as hydroscopic as other dry alternatives. Section 8-161 of the Code states that any exemption to the use of competitive processes in excess of$100,000 must be approved by the City Council. The Resolution will authorize the purchase of these chemicals as an exemption to the use of competitive bid or proposal as provided in Section 8-161(d)(4). City of Fort Collins PAGE 6 14. Resolution 2002-003 Setting Forth the Intention of the City to Assign its Year 2002 Private Activity Bond Allocation to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority to Finance Multi- Family Housing Revenue Bonds for the Caribou Apartments Project. In early December 2001, Mr. Marc Hendricks and Mr. Rodger Hara, representatives of the Caribou Apartments Project (the "Project"), contacted staff members of the Advance Planning and Finance Departments. They have requested the City consider assigning its annual allocation of private activity bonds to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority ("CHFA")for the purpose of acquiring property,constructing and equipping a multi-family housing project in the northeast part Fort Collins. This development would qualify as an Affordable Housing Project. The project is located near the corner of the intersection of Timberline and Caribou Roads. A total of 192 dwelling units will be included in the project. Of the total, 87 (45%) of the units will be affordable to persons whose incomes do not exceed 60%of the Area Median Income,which include 14 units reserved for families whose incomes do not exceed 50%of the AMI. The remaining units will be leased at market rental rates. Adoption of this Resolution would allow CHFA to issue up to $16 million in tax-exempt private activity bonds for the purpose of constructing the project. The issuance is contingent on the Project using an additional allocation from CHFA. The proposal is consistent with the City's adopted policies regarding the issuance of multi-family rental housing bonds. The Affordable Housing Board reviewed the project at its meeting on January 3, 2002. The Board supports the proposal. 15. Resolution 2002-004 Stating the Intent of the City of Fort Collins to Annex Certain Property and Initiating Annexation Proceedings for Such Property to be Known as Fossil Lake Annexation No. 1.

The property is located within the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan. 18. Resolution 2002-007 Making_Amendments to the Boards and Commissions Manual. The City Clerk's Office annually prepares a manual for members of boards and commissions which includes membership lists, descriptions of each board and commission, meeting schedules, conflict of interest guidelines, appeal procedures, and general information regarding membership limitations, attendance policies and other responsibilities. On February 20, 2001, Council adopted Resolution 2001-26, adopting the 2001 Boards and Commissions Manual. A subsection entitled "Conduct of Meetings" was inadvertently omitted from the 2001 Boards and Commissions Manual. Also,clarification regarding quorums has been requested by several boards and commissions. Two new subsections are being added to the"Meeting Responsibilities" section of the Manual to correct the omission and to provide a policy regarding meeting quorums. 19. First Reading of Ordinance No. 001 2002, Clarifying the Description of Ditch and Pipe Line Rights-of-Way Previously Abandoned by the City in Accordance with Ordinance No. 25, 1999. In 1999,the City Council formally recognized the abandonment of certain rights-of-way that had been granted to the City 1882, as of 1906. The City then disclaimed its interest in the underlying property,subject to two water line easements for existing water pipelines on that property. Since that time, the owner of the property has discovered an error in the legal description used to quiet his title in the property in 1999. As a result, a new quiet title action has been initiated, based on the corrected legal description of that property. In order to confirm that the 1882 rights on the property as correctly described were abandoned by the City as of 1906, subject to correction of the 1999 water line easements if necessary, this Ordinance expressly acknowledges that abandonment by reference to the corrected legal description. Upon completion of the Ordinance, the City will disclaim its interest in the subject 1882 rights-of-way on the newly described property in the quiet title action that has been filed by the property owner.

The City of Fort Collins is recognized by the Colorado Historical Society as a Certified Local Government,and as such,is eligible once a year for grants financed in part by Federal funds from the National Historic Preservation Act. The Advance Planning Department submitted an application that resulted in the award of a $2,970 grant, with no local match required, for the purpose of Landmark Preservation Commission and staff education and training. The grant funds will be used to send Commission members and staff to Colorado Preservation, Inc.'s statewide "SAVING PLACES 2002: Preserving Public Places" conference in Denver, January 30—February 2.

CSU provides employment evaluation,training, and placement assistance while the ARO program provides evaluation and transition into recreational pursuits. This process helps address the needs of the"whole"person rather than focusing on a specific area. By addressing a variety of areas,the individual is well rounded and is better able to fully integrate into the community. The City will be reimbursed through CSU, the primary grant recipient, in the amount of $123,742,during the three-year grant period,for the City's share of the expenses associated with the Recreation Works Project.

(Rape Aggression Defense) Self-Defense program. The Victim Services Team spent a great deal of time researching different types of self defense programs which could be offered to female victims of crime,as well as other community members,once there we had adequate numbers of instructors. In light of the recent serial sexual assault cases,the requests made to Police Services for self defense training were more than it could handle. The donor wishes the monies to be used to train additional certified self-defense instructors (members of the Victim Services Team and/or law enforcement officers), purchase additional equipment needed for the training, and to compensate certified instructors with the Victim Services Team for its time spent teaching these classes. Victims and Law Enforcement (V.A.L.E.)

These funds will be used to compensate a part-time paid victim advocate who provides crisis intervention services during weekday hours and is housed in the Victim Services office, as well as to pay for some of the operational expenses needed to provide services to victims of crime in our community. Previous V.A.L.E. grant awards received were $19,500 in 1998, and $19,000 for 1999, 2000, and 2001. Corporate Grant: The Fort Collins Police Crime Prevention Unit has been awarded a Community Involvement Grant in the amount of$1,000 from the Target Foundation.

First Reading of Ordinance No 011 2002 Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue for the Epic Studio Ice Rink Project and Authorizing the Project to Proceed. In 1997,the voters approved Ordinance No. 31, 1997,which provided for a Studio Ice Rink at the Edora Pool & Ice Center as part of the Building Community Choices (BCC) capital improvements program. The Ordinance required a public/private partnership for this project, City of Fort Collins PAGE 12 by making the project contingent upon the private sector providing funding or in-kind contributions for at least 22%of the estimated cost of the project,as determined by the City Council. Under this formula,78%of the project costs would be provided through BCC tax revenues. In November 2001, the City Council adopted the 2002 annual budget, which includes $3,273,801 from Building Community Choices tax revenues for this project. Based on the competitive purchasing process for the project, staff has estimated that the Studio Ice Rink project will cost $3,932,435 (including $3,370,674 for design/build and $561,761 for equipment/furnishings), unless project quality is enhanced through additional funding. If additional private contributions are raised prior to completion of Final Design for the project (approximately July 2002)City staff will return to the City Council to request that additional private donations be appropriated for this project, and to request that the City Council approve the increased project cost and the expenditure of the additional $206,502 that has already been appropriated as part of the 2002 Budget. This would enhance the quality of the project using the balance of BCC funds to match the private donations. Given the currently estimated total project cost, this Ordinance appropriates the existing private sector cash contributions in the amount of $836,636, together with in-kind contributions valued at $28,500 (which are being appropriated to allow for more complete accounting of the total project cost) for a total appropriation of$865,136, or 22% of the estimated project cost. The Ordinance also authorizes the project to proceed. 32. Items Relating to the Traffic Signal Replacement Program. A. Resolution 2002-008 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation Regarding the Installation of a Fiber Optic Communication System for the New Traffic Signal System. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 012, 2002, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the Capital Projects Fund Traffic Signal Timing System Project to Be Used for Installation of the Fiber Optic Communication System for the New Traffic Signal System. The City of Fort Collins has been awarded a Federal Intelligent Transportation System grant in the total sum of$1,984,036. The grant is a 50150 matching grant where the Federal and local portions are each $992,018. The grant has been specified for use on installing and integrating a fiber optic communication system for the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The first phase of installation will be the College Avenue Corridor from Mulberry to Harmony and on Harmony Road from Mason Street to Ziegler Road. Portions of the conduit along the College Avenue Corridor were installed during the summer of 2000. City of Fort Collins ® ""aa......r.l.avw. PAGE 13 The existing communication is based entirely on leased phone lines. The current failure rate of the communication system is approximately 30% resulting in un-coordinated traffic signals at any given time of the day. During the system analysis phase of the ATMS project, a decision was made to use fiber optics as the principle mode of communication between the on-street controllers and the master traffic signal system. Fiber optics is the most reliable form of communication medium in today's market. 33. Resolution 2002-009 Adopting the City's 2002 Legislative Policy Agenda.
