EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Funds were appropriated in 1999 by City Council for specific purposes as described below,
but not spent. The unspent funds were added to fund reserves at the end of 1999.
Appropriations were typically not spent because:
• There was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 1999 and thus there was no
known vendor or binding contract to encumber the funds for expenditure in 2000.
DATE: February 1, 2000 2 ITEM NUMBER: 20
• The project for which the funds were originally appropriated could not be completed
during 1999 and,therefore,appropriation of those funds is necessary for completion
of the project in 2000.
This ordinance reappropriates approximately$9.2 million of 1999 monies for the same uses
or purposes in 2000 as originally approved by Council in 1999. Of the total, the amount
requested by the utilities amounts to slightly over$3.7 million to be used for purposes such
as the Harmony Substation expansion, Light and Power undergrounding projects, and for
Art-in-Public Places projects that were delayed or are multi-year projects. Over.$2.0 million
is requested for reappropriation by the Open Lands Fund for several anticipated acquisitions
that did not close during 1999 but are anticipated to close in 2000. Of the General Fund
request,$853,000 is for lease purchase payments and other expenditures associated with the
J. D. Edwards Financial System.
Following is the amount,and an explanation of why reappropriation of 1999 approved funds
for 2000 is requested for each item included in this Ordinance:
GENERAL FUND
CommunityOpportunity Investments- $63,891 The Community Opportunity Investments
funds are appropriated to address potential projects and needs that were discussed during the
budget process and other projects that may be identified during the year that might be of
benefit to the City. During 1999,$393,756 was appropriated for potential needs. At the end
of 1999 there are one-time funds in the amount of$63,891 that have not been spent or
included in the 2000 budget. This item reappropriates the remaining one-time funds for
potential projects and needs in 2000.
Camera Radar and Red-Light Camera Systems - $246,571 In 1999, $418,794 of estimated
ticket revenue was appropriated for camera radar and red-light camera programs.
Appropriations in the amount of$246,571 have not been spent or encumbered in 1999.
These appropriations were set aside to pay any additional costs which City departments
might incur related to the use of camera radar and red-light camera systems or related to
other programs intended to address the City's current traffic problems. This item
reappropriates the $246,571 for the camera radar program and related expenses in 2000.
Police Seizure Funds - $33,152 In 1999, $65,685 was appropriated for Fort Collins Police
Services seizure. In 1999 the Larimer County Drug Task Force instituted a new seizure
disbursement program to make the distribution process more equitable for all agencies
involved. Revenue in 1999 totaled $36,154 compared to $65,685 in 1998. In anticipation
of an initial decrease in revenue, Police Services limited seizure expenditures to ensure
enough resources for 2000. This item reappropriates$33,152 in seizure funds for the Police
seizure activities in 2000.
Police Copy Machine Rental-$22.101 In the 1999 Clean Up ordinance$27,447 from police
report fees was appropriated to pay for 2000 copier rental. Historically Police Records
encumbers funds in November of the previous year for copier rental for the next year.
Increased pricing and equipment issues caused Fort Collins Police to re-evaluate their current
vendor and pricing. Police Services is currently working with the City's Purchasing division
to be released from current contract obligations. Due to the uncertainty of the vendor,
DATE: February 1, 2000 3 ITEM NUMBER: 20
i
purchase orders were not entered at the end of the year. These funds are requested for
reappropriation to enable Police to pay for copier rental and maintenance for 2000.
Police Laptop Computer Purchase-$101,000 On November 24, 1999,a purchase requisition
was entered for 55 Fujitsu laptop computers--to be installed in police cars. After installing
5 units,the systems unit discovered a problem. Police Services purchased these units with
the understanding that the"bridge battery"feature would supply a constant power source to
the laptop. Research from the vendor revealed that the battery was not designed to perform
as originally represented,causing the computer to re-boot every time the car was started. The
requisition was canceled and a comparable product could not be found in time to meet year-
end deadlines. This money is reappropriated to fund the purchase of laptop computers which
meet the minimum standards for the new CAD system.
CMAO Proiects - $18,872 In 1999, Ordinance No. 124, 1999, appropriated $24,500 of
Natural Resources Department funds to be used as the City's matching contribution on two
CMAQ(Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality)projects,the Hi-Emitter project and"Cars,
Cures,Culture"project. Due to contractual problems with CDOT,the agency administering
the CMAQ funds,Natural Resources was not allowed to spend all of the$24,500. This item
reappropriates the balance of$18,872 not spent in 1999 to implement the City's matching
component of the same two CMAQ projects in 2000.
Visibility Data - $17,390 In-1999, the Natural Resources Department planned to hire a
consultant to analyze the City's existing visibility data. Due to delays in the procurement
process, a consultant was not selected in time to prepare a purchase order with 1999 funds.
Therefore,$17,390 needs to be reappropriated to cover the City's contract with Air Resource
Specialists (ARS). During 2000, ARS will conduct an analysis of the City's visibility data
and evaluate the effectiveness of City air quality programs in improving visibility.
J.D.Edwards Financial System-$853,739 The Finance Department had approximately$1.5
million appropriated in 1999 for expenditures related to the implementation of a new
financial system. The funds are used for lease purchase payments for the J.D. Edwards
Financial System and associated consulting costs. This is an ongoing project to be completed
in 2002. This item reappropriates the unspent project funds in the amount of$853,739 to
continue the project payments in 2000.
Landmark Rehabilitation Grant Program- $41,677 In 1999, $54,124 was appropriated for
the City's Landmark Rehabilitation Grant Program. Applicants have until March 2000 to
complete their projects,therefore, some of the projects have not yet been completed. This
item reappropriates the remaining $41,677 for grant applicants who will complete their
projects in 2000.
City Plan Revision-$118,091 During 1999,$555,106 was appropriated for the development
of subarea plans under City Plan. The following plans are currently underway: Northern
Colorado Communities Regional I-25 Plan, the I-25 Subarea Plan, and the Campus West
Subarea Plan. Work will continue on these plans during 2000. This item reappropriates the
remaining funds of$118,091 to complete these plans.
Historic Preservation-$78,739 Historic Preservation receives ongoing funds for the Design
Assistance Program and other historic preservation projects. Funding has been awarded to
DATE: February 1,2000 4 ITEM NUMBER: 20
applicants for various projects which should be completed in 2000. The remaining funds of
$78,739 need to be reappropriated to complete these projects.
Larimer County Outreach Services-$17,762 Latimer County contributed$29,835 in 1999
to the Fort Collins Library for Outreach Services to residents living in rural areas of the
County. Of this amount$17,762 was unspent at year-end. The library strives each year to
have a remainder to be reappropriated in order to cover salary and vehicle expenses until a
new contract is negotiated and the first payment is received, generally in mid year.
Therefore,$17,762 is available in 1999 reserves and needs to be reappropriated to continue
Library Outreach Services in Latimer County.
Lease Purchase of Equipment=$228,651 All lease purchase money appropriated in 1999 was
not spent or encumbered as of December 31, 1999. Ordinance No. 36, adopted in March
1999,and Ordinance No. 153,adopted in November 1999,authorized the lease purchase of
City vehicles and equipment. However,vendors had not been identified by year-end for all
lease purchase vehicles and equipment and thus,purchase orders could not be created. This
item reappropriates $228,651 to complete the purchases of vehicles and equipment.
Parks Maintenance Life cycle-$32,852 Each year life cycle funds are budgeted to cover the
cost of upgrades,repair and replacement of assets within the parks system. These funds were
not spent or encumbered because the City did not retain a slurry contractor in 1999 and
because staff was not able to complete all projects by year end. This money will be used in
2000 for parking lot slurry work and for a new backstop and fencing at Landings Park.
Community Park Improvements-$30.830 In 1999,$100,000 was budgeted for community
park improvements. Parks is currently waiting for approval from Union Pacific Railroad to
relocate a portion of the disc golf course at Edora Park onto the railroad easement. This
move will help alleviate over crowding in the park. A new picnic shelter was completed last
fall at Edora Park and expanded parking will be finished in 2000 to accommodate the shelter
use. This item reappropriates $25,000 to relocate the disc golf course at Edora Park and
$5,830 to expand the parking at Edora Park.
Cable and Video Graphics Equipment-$14,000-The Cable and Video Production program
had $14,000 appropriated for the replacement of a character generator and graphics
equipment used for the City's Channel 27 productions. Bids received in late December came
in over budget. The purchase was delayed until additional fimds were available from the
2000 budget. This item reappropriates the$14,000 to help purchase the equipment in 2000.
Cable and Video Technical Review- $5,000 - The Cable and Video Production program
requests a reappropriation of$5,000 from 1999 to complete a technical review of the AT&T
Cable Services upgrade. The upgrade was not completed until after December 17, and
because of the holidays and other commitments by the contractor, the inspection was not
completed in 1999. This item reappropriates the $5,000 to complete the inspection.
Network Security Firewall Replacement - $60,000 - The Data Network program requests
reappropriation of$60,000 from 1999 to complete a project to replace the City's network
security firewall. The Request for Proposal was issued late in 1999, and the bid award was
delayed until after the end of that year. As the City prepares to enhance it's presence on the
DATE: February 1, 2000 5 ITEM NUMBER: 20
Intemet,this equipment is vital to protect the City's valuable data and computer assets. This
item reappropriates the $60,000 for the firewall replacement project.
Fiber Optic Network Expansion - $15,000 The Information Technology Department, in
partnership with the Utility Service Area, issued a Request for Proposal for consulting
services for planning and designing the City's fiber optic network expansion. This project
makes use of the fiber made available from the PRPA fiber optic network, and will result in
a plan to connect City facilities to enhance communication capabilities and reduce the cost
of phone and other lease services. This item reappropriates the $15,000 for this project.
Intemet Server and Software Upgrade - $18,000 The City's Internet presence is currently
hosted on a server over three years old. In June 1999, $18,000 was appropriated from the IT
Department's General Fund Equipment Replacement reserves to purchase an upgraded
internet server and related software. This investment is needed to provide a more reliable
and secure hardware platform, and to enable new Intemet capabilities desired by the City.
A planning process is underway to determine the specific needs and requirements for an
upgraded Internet server and software. This process was not completed in 1999 so the
planned purchase was not made. IT staff intends to finalize the requirements and complete
the purchase of the above components in the first half of 2000.
Dedicated Circuit for Internet Access - $11,940 A charge of$11,940 was recently paid to
Quest,Inc. for the City's dedicated internet access line in 2000. This charge was to be paid
out of the 1999 budget, but due to ongoing negotiations with the vendor it was paid out of i
. the 2000 budget. This request is to reappropriate these funds from the 1999 budget to the
2000 budget to cover this expense.
i
Additional Web Development Labor-$15,000 In 1999,$30,000 was appropriated from the
IT Department's Savings Incentive reserves to hire a contractor to assist with the heavy
workload in the applications development and support area. Approximately half of these
funds were expended in 1999, and this request is to reappropriate the remaining half for
additional labor to meet the high demand for web applications development in 2000. '
CPES Network File Server-$15,000 CPES Administration had$15,000 of savings incentive
reserves appropriated in 1999 to replace the service area's network file server. Because of
delays in adopting the Information Technology Strategic Plan,CPES has not completed this
project. This item reappropriates the$15,000 to allow completion of this project in the year
2000.
Develonment Tracking System Data Entry - $25,000 The Current Planning Department is
requesting$25,000 from the 1999 budget to be carried over to the 2000 budget. These funds
were appropriated for an hourly position to enter historic files into the Development Tracking
System. Staff felt it would be best if the department waited until the new Sierra System is
up and running to enter old project files into the system. The Current Planning Department
will be on-line with the new Sierra System in 2000 and will be hiring someone at that time
to enter the historic information into the system.
Contractual Legal Services- $21,500 The City Attorney's Office had$23,400 appropriated
in 1999 for hourly salaries for contractual legal services. Several projects were identified in
1999 which could be funded by this appropriation,including special litigation projects,legal

research projects,and possible City Code review. A research assistant was hired late in 1999
to undertake these projects, and time did not permit completion of the assigned projects by
year-end. This item reappropriates the remaining $21,500 in 2000 to allow the research
assistant to continue and complete these assignments.
Equipment Loan Pool - $503,935 Each year funds are appropriated to provide a revolving
loan pool for the timely replacement of operating equipment (vehicles, machinery, and
computer systems). Operating managers may borrow from this loan pool to bridge the period
of time when the equipment is needed and the next available lease purchase package. At the
end of 1999 $503,935 remains in the equipment loan pool. This amount is requested for
reappropriation to provide an equipment loan pool for 2000.
Visitor and Environmental Center Project - $231,434 The 1999 budget included funds for
the City's portion of a multi-use Visitor and Environmental Center. This project is the result
of a partnership with CSU Environmental Learning Center and Colorado State Parks. All
of these funds were not spent in 1999 while the final negotiations continue. This item
reappropriates the $231,935 for tourism capital in 2000.
CEMETERY FUND
Lease Purchase- $23,548 Ordinance No. 153, 1999 was adopted by Council in November
1999, authorizing the lease purchase of City equipment. However, vendors had not been

created. Funds in the amount of$23,548 need to be reappropriated in the Cemetery Fund to
complete the purchases of equipment in 2000.
COMMUNICATIONS FUND
Fiber Optic Network Expansion - $15,000 The Information Technology Department, in
partnership with the Utility Service Area, issued a Request for Proposal for consulting

Fund for this project.
