Implications of grocery tax and/or other potential ballot measures BACKGROUND On September 14 staff and City Council met in a study session to discuss the Building on Basics 2005 capital improvement program. Previous Study Sessions regarding this program were held in December 2003, March 2004, and May 2004. At the September Study Session, Council provided staff with direction on a variety of issues, including the following direction: • Proceed with plans to place a 1/4 cent extension on the April ballot for the Pavement Management Program • Proceed with plans to place a 1/4 cent extension on the April ballot for Community Enhancements • Continue citizen outreach to identify projects for the Community Enhancements package 4> Not including anew Downtown Civic Center Library q> Not including a new Performing Arts Center November 30, 2004 Page 2 'b Conduct a statistically valid citizen survey to provide Council with additional information • Consider a new 1/4 cent sales tax for a future election, possibly November 2005 • Include Operations and Maintenance costs in the funding strategy for the program Since the September Study Session, staff has worked on developing its recommendations to Council regarding how to proceed with the Building on Basics program. Staff has developed several options for Council consideration for capital projects and Operations and Maintenance costs. The focus of this study session will be to address several issues: 1. Does Council have questions about the staff recommendation? Staff has developed several options for Council's consideration. Staff recommends renewal of the Pavement Management Program tax at the April 2005 election. Also, for the capital items, Option A includes a project list for the Community Enhancements program, includes 14 capital projects and Operation and Maintenance funding within the 1/4 cent renewal package. Option B includes the same 14 projects plus the North College Improvements, and a separate, additional tax for O&M costs. Staff recommends selecting either Option A or B, as both are viable funding strategies. Option C includes projects that staff recommends should be considered if a new tax were proposed, in addition to the renewals. A more full discussion of the staff recommendations is included below. 2. What term should be proposed for the renewal of the Pavement Management Program? Council has previously directed staff to assume that the Pavement Management Program tax renewal will be placed on the April Municipal Election ballot. This funding method has been in place since 1984, with renewals to the funding in 1989 and 1997. The program and its 1/4 cent sales tax funding source could either be renewed for a short term (8-10 years), a long- term renewal such as 20 years, or a permanent renewal. Staff suggests that City Council consider a term of 20-25 years for this renewal. Such a long-term renewal would acknowledge that the Pavement Management Program is an on-going need, with no other funding source at this level ($5-6 million/year) available. 3. Priority Setting: Staff has compiled Council feedback on priorities from the priority setting exercise and is providing that information to Council as Attachment B. Based on the summary of this feedback, do some projects emerge for Council as areas of agreement for inclusion? Does Council agree on some projects that should be excluded from further consideration? Are there any additional projects not on the list which should be considered? Staff has scheduled a statistically valid survey of voters to be conducted in December. The purpose of the survey will be to seek citizen input on support or opposition to the renewal, support of specific projects, and willingness of voters to support various options under consideration. Are there specific projects that Council would like to have feedback on November 30, 2004 Page 3 from a citizen survey? Are there other specific questions that Council would like information regarding, such as the timing of the election? Staff has also presented some options for addressing the Operations and Maintenance Costs created by any new projects funding through the BOB taxes. Options A and B in the attached recommendations represent two different approaches to funding these costs: one includes the O&M costs within the 1/4 cent, the other includes a new tax for funding the O&M. The result is, in Option B, an additional $8 million project is included. Does Council have any reactions to or direction regarding these O&M funding strategies? 4. Does Council wish to consider an additional 1/4 cent tax, or defer any consideration of a tax increase until at least the November 2005 election? Option C in the staff recommendation provides an option for consideration if a new 1/4 cent tax were placed on the ballot. Such a package could be placed on the April ballot, or deferred until at least the November 2005 election. Such a tax could be considered for additional high priority capital projects from a variety of service areas, or it could be allocated to one large project, such as a new Performing Arts Center or Downtown Main Library. 5. Does City Council have any concerns about the timing of placing the tax renewals on the April ballot, considering the grocery tax repeal measure that is already on the ballot? STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Since the September Study Session, staff has worked on developing its recommendations to Council regarding how to proceed with the Building on Basics program. Staff has specifically focused on workable options for the capital program and the issue of funding Operations and Maintenance costs, and has developed several options for Council consideration. City Council and the community have been considering a narrowed list of 32 proposed capital projects for the Building on Basics 2005 capital program. With an unfunded cost of these 32 projects totaling nearly $150 million, and approximately $5.5 million per year of revenue from a 1/4 cent sales tax, the list of projects to take for voter approval must now be narrowed. The full list is included as Attachment A-4. Staff recommends that Council place the Pavement Management Program on the ballot as a renewal of the full 1/4 cent BCC tax that is currently dedicated to Pavement Management and other Transportation projects. This should yield approximately $5.5 million per year for the street maintenance program. In addition, staff has developed three optional packages of capital projects for City Council's consideration. Staff recommends placing either Option A or B on the ballot as a package of community enhancement capital projects. (See Attachments A-1 and A-2) These options represent a renewal of the Community Enhancement BCC 1/4 cent tax and each addresses the issue of funding new Operations and Maintenance costs. Option C represents an additional 1/4 November 30, 2004 Page 4 cent sales tax package of community enhancements, beyond the renewal of the two taxes set to expire in 2005. (Attachment A-3) Staff does not recommend placing the Option C package on the ballot at the April 2005 election because of the other tax issues scheduled to appear on that ballot. Option A: A package of 14 projects, totaling $47 million in capital construction. The 14 projects cover several community services, including Transportation multi-modal projects, bike and pedestrian projects, parks, library, police and natural areas projects. A mix of projects provides some progress on a variety of needs and an attractive package to a variety of voters. (Attachment A-1) This package includes O&M as part of the 1/4 cent; therefore no tax increase would be required to cover the on-going costs of the capital projects. Voters could be asked to make the O&M portion of the tax (0.037%) an on-going part of the City's sales tax. 0.215% Renewal of BCC tax with sunset provision +0.035% On-going tax for O&M 0.250% Total tax renewal Pros: Cons: • An attractive package to a variety of • Fewer projects can be accomplished if voters 10 years of O&M costs are included in the package • Addresses basic needs in several • Leaves many high priority needs categories unfunded • Incorporates O&M costs within the • A mixture of projects within one scope of the '/a cent renewal package may be criticized for "bundling" • Addresses some critical deficiencies • Funding O&M with dedicated revenues reduces flexibility in future years Option B: A package of 15 projects, totaling $55 million in capital construction. This option includes the same projects as Option A, plus the North College Improvements project. This package would require an additional, earmarked sales tax or other funding source for O&M costs. If voters were asked to approve both a 1/4 cent capital tax and the on-going O&M tax of .0375%, the total tax amount for the package would be 0.2875%. (Attachment A-2) 0.25% Renewal of BCC tax +0.036% New tax for O&M 0.286% Total New BOB tax (or round to 0.29%) November 30, 2004 Page 5 Pros: Cons: • An attractive package to a variety of • A tax increase for O&M may be more voters difficult to pass • Addresses basic needs in several • Leaves many high priority needs categories unfunded • Addresses critical deficiencies • A mixture of projects within one package may be criticized for "bundling" • Adds North College Improvements to • Funding O&M with dedicated revenues the package reduces flexibility in future years Option C: This option proposes an additional 1/4 cent sales tax to accomplish 14 additional projects, substantially in the Transportation Services categories. By including the New Transit Vehicles project, the package would lead to significant new O&M costs ($1.2 million per year). Staff is not recommending this option because of the other items on the April 2005 ballot. (Attachment A-3) Pros: Cons: • Provides many more high priority • A tax increase may be difficult to pass capital needs in a variety of service areas • Addresses basic needs and some • A mixture of projects within one "quality of life" projects package may be criticized for "bundling" • Addresses more critical deficiencies • Higher O&M cost projects are included in this package • Packages could be split so that similar • Some may object to funding transit projects are together services through such a ballot measure Changes in Project Scope from Proposed Projects to Staff Recommendation: In order to develop a package of projects that could be funded by a 1/4 cent tax over a 10 year period, the scope of several projects has been adjusted in the staff recommendations. Changes include: ❖ Pedestrian Plan was reduced from $5.28 million to $3.4 million ❖ Intersection Improvements and Traffic Signal Pool was reduced from $16 million to $10 million ($1 million per year) ❖ River Habitat Restoration was proposed at $10 million for the full scope of the project. It was reduced to $5 million for the short list and then cut to $2.5 million to accomplish just November 30, 2004 Page 6 the downtown (Lincoln to Linden) portion of the project and not the area around the Pickle Plant Bike Program Plan implementation was reduced from$7.1 million to $3.75 million ❖ Southeast Branch Library operation and maintenance funding of$705,000 was requested, but that amount was reduced to $323,000 in Options A and B. The library would be opened as a reduced service branch, but additional funding would allow a more complete facility. ❖ At City Council's direction, the New Downtown Main Library and Performing Arts Center projects were not included in the recommendations. By reducing the scope of several projects, some progress can be made on more projects. Additional needs within the reduced packages (e.g. intersection improvements, etc.) might then be addressed if City revenues and the local economy improve in future years. Timing of Ballot Measures: The City has two options for seeking renewal of the Building Community Choices sales taxes prior to their expiration. A November Election or the April 2005 Municipal Election are the only options available under TABOR restrictions. Capital sales taxes have generally been placed on Municipal Election ballots because voters tend to focus more on local issues at that time. Seeking renewal at that time would also allow the City to consider a different renewal measure at the November election, if an April measure were to fail. Though April elections have been used in the past, the uncertainty created by the inclusion of the grocery tax repeal may raise questions about the timing of the Building on Basics renewals. Issues to consider may include: • Would a repeal measure and a renewal tax measure confuse voters? • Will the grocery tax measure bring a disproportionate number of anti-tax voters to the polls? • Would the inclusion of renewal taxes on the ballot suggest that the City can afford to forego the grocery tax revenues? • Would postponing either renewal just postpone funding of critical needs?

These funds will cover maintenance contracts and upgrades of computers, servers, and software; funding for technology training, online databases, and OCLC subscriptions. Funding will include a technology replacement fund so that we may replace our automated library system in 6 years. Project Location: Main Library and Harmony Library Why is this Project Needed? Library technology is essential to maintain our current service level. Funding was provided in 1997 through Building Community Choices for library technology through the year 2004. This funding allows for replacement of the automated system in 2005, but does not provide the library long-range funding for technology. Other Related Projects: This project will directly impact the new Main Library project. Technology will be an essential piece of the new Main Library, existing and future branches. Technology must be funded to operate the libraries.

This branch, in combination with a new Civic Center Library of approximately 100,000 square feet , and the Harmony Library, will provide space for library services to the community through 2020. Project Location: In the area of Harmony and Timberline. Why is this Project Needed? Currently Fort Collins is below the Colorado average for libraries in respect to collection size, number of staff to provide services and space for the community to meet, utilize the collection and do research. According to the Colorado State Research Service report for the top 12 libraries with a budget greater than $675,000 in 2000, Fort Collins ranked 9th in staff per 1,000 served, loth in volumes per capita, but 3rd in the number of materials circulated. These numbers illustrate the existing need for expanded library facilities. This branch will • provide neighborhood access for a large number of families, educational opportunities for children, and self-directed lifelong learning for adults. The public library standard for branch libraries is to provide facilities that require no more than 15 minutes to travel from one library to another. In attaining this standard, Fort Collins will provide vital library services to a large segment of the population in their neighborhood.

The Museum has made great strides in improving its current facility to make the best use of existing space. However, the Museum is unable to meet the needs of the community. Attendance continues to increase, summer programs are filled to capacity within days of registration, galleries are too small to accommodate national traveling exhibits or display more than a fraction of the 35,000 object collection, and the facility lacks educational classrooms, or program space. The expansion of the Museum would enrich the community and enhance economic development, servicng as a destination for downtown. Benefits also include increased partnership opportunities with schools, community groups, and tourism. • The expanded Museum would be able to fulfill its role as a gathering place, an educational resource, a cultural experience, and provide the community with a sense of identity and belonging. The new construction consists of a two-story, 10,000 square foot addition over the east parking lot and a centralized entrance off the newly renovated Heritage Courtyard. The interior will contain a new 4,000 square food gallery, large enough to acccomodate nationally traaveling exxhibitions, educational programming and classroom space, exhibit preparation and loading areas, bathrooms, staircae and freight elevator. The two buildings will be tied together by a glassatrium and pass through area, so as not to disturb the historic integrity or site lines of the existing historic building. Other Related Projects: In order for this project to be completely in its entirety, it is directly linked to the public library relocating from 201 Peterson Street to a new downtown location and the 201 Peterson facility becoming a part of the Museum expansion project. Also related is a new storage facility for the Museum, which would allow the Museum to relocate much of the on-site artifact storage off-site.

Project Location: To Be Determined Why is this Project Needed? One third of the old Trolley Car Barn (Cherry& Howes Streets) was retrofitted into Museum storage in 1995. The 3,000 square foot space has been expanded through the construction of a mezzanine. When the 30,000 objects were re-housed into this space, it became apparent that the space was too small to accommodate the existing collection. The addition of a mezzanine has not relieved the overcrowding. The collection will continue to grow as the Museum fulfills its mission to preserve the heritage of the city. The Trolley Car Barn as an historic structure itself also offers unique difficulties in trying to create a climate-controlled environment, free of pests,pollutants, and water. A new storage building will be designed to more appropriately house the artifact collection, provide a more stable environment, and is require less maintenance. Other Related Projects: The facilities Department has also been considering developing a new storage facility. The two needs could be addressed on the same property. However, the Museum Storage requires strict access, high-level security, and regulated humidity and temperature climate controls, requirements not generally needed for facilities storage.

Aging parks need to be upgraded and enhanced to keep them useful, enjoyable and attractive. This project includes a redevelopment of City Park that includes: creating a pedestrian friendly plaza near the outdoor pool; adds sidewalks to connect the neighborhoods to the north (neighbors now must walk in the street) adds much needed parking near the golf course, as well as a restroom, and a basketball court; renovates the tennis courts; and improves the old-time feel of the park with more moss-rock walls and entry features. Improvements to the other community parks include new ball field lights; more places to picnic or read a book, more parking, better shelters,more walking paths, facilities for people with disabilities and creek habitat restoration. Project Location: City Park, Edora Park, Lee Martinez Park and Rolland Moore Park. Why is this Project Needed? This project is needed to upgrade aging community park facilities that are deteriorating and to provide much needed improvements that will greatly enhance the City's community parks. The parks will be safer, more useful and more attractive.

The building would total 25,000-30,000 square feet. The lower level would house a pottery and arts/craft studio, including classrooms, electric kiln room, storage, outdoor gas kiln courtyard, and support space. The upper level would house a workout room with cardio and weight equipment and exercise rooms. The parking structure would accommodate up to 150 vehicles. Project Location: Two and one-half acres of land southwest of the current senior center were purchased in 1993 with the intent of expanding the senior center to accommodate additional services requested by senior citizens. Why is this Project Needed? The current senior center does not have much space dedicated to cardio-vascular equipment (i.e., treadmills,bicycles) or weight equipment. When the current center was built, a • conscious decision was made to develop as much space as possible for multiple uses, instead of tying up many spaces for single uses. This precluded dedicating space specifically for weight and exercise equipment. As the "baby boomers" (that large population group bona between 1946 and 1964) continue to turn 50 in record numbers, demand for additional adult services continues to escalate, especially for fitness and wellness activities. The younger senior citizens who have been active all their lives are a burgeoning market for these activities, and they cannot be adequately provided for at the current center. The current pottery studio continues to deteriorate each year and most of the use is limited to the first floor, as the facility does not have an elevator. Ventilation and lighting are poor, classrooms are cramped, and access to the building is limited to on-street parking around the park and in the neighborhood. Moving this operation to a location adjacent to the senior center is an opportunity to modernize and expand the facility, improve the safety features required of this type of operation, and consolidate the arts/crafts activities already offered at the senior center.

Funding to build these parks comes from new housing construction,but we lack a funding source to upgrade and improve aging parks. Management plans have been developed for each neighborhood park. The plans identify needed improvements such as new basketball courts,picnic shelters, new playground equipment, better access for people with disabilities, and numerous other enhancements needed to keep our parks useful, enjoyable and attractive. Project Location: Neighborhood parks are located throughout the entire Fort Collins community. Why is this Project Needed? This project is needed to upgrade aging neighborhood park facilities that are deteriorating and to provide much needed improvements that will significantly enhance the City's neighborhood park system. These improvement will make our parks safer, more useful and more attractive. 4Vther Related Projects: All Construction,Planning and Associated Costs (X$1,000) Line Item: Prior Years 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Post 2012 Total 350 350 700 Total: 350 350 ___. _._ 700 Annual Operation&Maintenance Costs (X$1,000) Line Item: Prior Years 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Post 2012 Total 55 55 55 55 55 55 330 Total: 55 55 55 55 55 55 330 .day,November 08,2004 Section D-2 Unfunded Project Detail Page 29 of 82 31 tl Project Information Summary 41030 Recreation Center at Fossil Creek Unfunded Community Park Cultural, Library and Recreational Dept./Program: Parks and Recreation Services Project Description: This project includes a new multi-generational recreation center built on city-owned land in Fossil Creek Community Park (located west of SouthRidge Golf Course). This 60,000 square- foot facility would include a lap/leisure pool, a three-court gymnasium, exercise/weight equipment room, locker rooms and family change area, classrooms, kitchen, reception area/lobby, offices, outdoor shallow-water leisure pool with water slides and sundeck, and parking. Activities would include educational and enrichment classes, youth and adult sports programs, trips and special events, swimming and ice skating activities, and drop-in activities for all ages. Project Location: Fossil Creek Community Park Why is this Project Needed? The City does not have any public indoor recreation facilities in the southern part of the community. EPIC, opened in 1987 at Riverside and Prospect, and the Senior Center, opened in 1995 at Shields and Drake, are the most recently-built recreation facilities. The City also leases a facility for youth and teen activities at 415 East Monroe.None of these facilities is in the southern part of the city. In the past 5 years, the majority of the growth in Fort Collins has occurred south of Horsetooth Road. From all current indications, the majority of the growth will continue toward the south. The Parks and Recreation Policy Plan shows Fort Collins is lacking in indoor recreation facilities compared to other Front Range communities. Other Related Projects: This facility is part of the Fossil Creek Community Park Master Plan. Issues concerning access, drainage, electrical, and other needs for this facility have been factored into the planning and site work for the park.

Project Location: Roselawn Cemetery Why is this Project Needed? Roselawn Cemetery currently does not provide a restroom for customers or staff. The office area is only for staff and not suitable for dealing with customers. By 2025, Roselawn will be the primary cemetery used in Fort Collins. At that time, the cemetery office staff will need to move to the Roselawn Cemetery to work more efficiently with customers. A restroom is needed as soon as possible to serve both customers and staff. An automatic irrigation system is needed to cut down on the amount of water wasted with above ground manual piping. Irrigation needs to be performed at night to diminish evaporative loss. �ther Related Projects: This project is not linked to any other City project.

Costs for the river restoration in the downtown area have been estimated to be approximately$10,000,000. The project can be completed in phases and additional funding can be gained by partnering with private property owners, the Downtown Development Authority or the Downtown Business Authority. A significant initial phase,perhaps near the old Pickle Factory could cost approximately$5,000,000. Project Location: Degraded riverbanks and river channel from North College to East Mulberry Why is this Project Needed? The Cache la Poudre River Habitat Restoration project was identified as one of the high priority projects in the Downtown River Corridor Implementation Program, adopted by City Council in July, 2000. Within the "downtown" section of the Poudre River, the riverbed and riverbanks are in poor condition. A significant amount of concrete debris and other trash has been dumped along the riverbanks and within the river channel. There are areas of inappropriate public access to the river. In addition, weedy and non-native species exist throughout the river corridor. These problems have degraded the habitat and aesthetic qualities of the river. This project involves restoring and enhancing the banks of the Cache la Poudre River, improving the wildlife movement corridor, enhancing aquatic habitat, and improving the riparian habitat along the river corridor. Much of the restoration is anticipated to take place through the implementation of projects on lands adjacent to the river. Other Related Projects: This project is closely related to, and should be integrated with, four other projects included in the Downtown River Corridor Implementation Program: (1)recreational river channel enhancements feasibility study, (2)oxbow acquisition for public use, (3)bank stabilization, and (4) Cache la Poudre river trail amenities.

Project Location: On West Drake Road, approximately 0.2 miles west of College Avenue (US Hwy 287). Why is this Project Needed? This project is important for public safety and congestion mitigation. Drake Road is a primary east-west corridor at the geometric center of the City, and is a heavily traveled 4-lane arterial street. The BNSF RR tracks bisect the City north-to-south, and all street crossings over these tracks (in Fort Collins) are at-grade. Consequently, the trains that pass through the City approximately 6 to 8 times per day can cause significant delays for vehicles on the east- west streets. Drake is also a primary route to Poudre Valley Hospital. The project will reduce potential conflicts between trains and automobiles, and provide great congestion mitigation and air quality benefits. This project is on the adopted City Master Street Plan as well as the MPO's Regional Transportation Plan. The BNSF RR line is a regionally significant rail corridor. Other Related Projects: This project is supportive of alternate modes of transportation and in particular the Mason Transportation Corridor. It will be important to connect the bike lanes and sidewalks on Drake Road to the Mason Trail.

This is a high priority Street Oversizing project that needs a City Capital funding element to pay for gaps at the Front Range Community College campus and at County out-parcels. The total project length is approximately 1.6 miles. Project Location: West Harmony Road, from Seneca Street on the west to the BNSF RR tracks on the east, approaching the College Avenue intersection. Why is this Project Needed? City capital funding is needed to assist the funding of a Street Oversizing project through the non-SO contributing sections of this street. This project is extremely important due to the existing congestion and safety problems in this area. The Harmony— Shields intersection has the highest accident rate in the City, so this project is absolutely necessary for public safety. Air quality will also be enhanced by reducing congestion. This project is on the adopted City Master Street Plan as well as the MPO's Regional Transportation Plan. Other Related Projects: The BNSF RR crossing will need to be upgraded and widened in conjunction with this project. Also, future plans for the Mason Transportation Corridor will need to be incorporated. As with all major projects of this nature, extensive coordination with other agencies (Utilities, FRCC, etc.)will insure that the project is constructed in the most efficient manner.

This project includes a grade-separated (overpass or underpass) crossing of the BNSF RR tracks adjacent to existing Vine Drive. It also anticipates the relocation of the Vine Drive intersection to a point approximately V4-mile to the north of its current location. The realignment of this segment of Lemay is to the east, and is needed to bypass and preserve the integrity of the historic Andersonville and Alta Vista neighborhoods. Project Location: North Lemay Avenue between Lincoln Avenue and Conifer Street. Why is this Project Needed? This project is needed for public safety, to reduce conflicts with the existing at-grade RR crossing. The new grade-separated RR crossing will improve traffic flow, relieve congestion and improve air quality. It will also improve the efficiency of RR operations at the North Yard switching area. The project is also extremely important for preservation of two historic neighborhoods, Andersonville and Alta Vista. • This project is indicated on the City's Master Street Plan and is included in the Capital Improvement Program of the Transportation Master Plan. The RR grade-separation is also a part of the MPO's Regional Transportation Plan in the Rail category, since this is a regionally significant rail corridor. Other Related Projects: The Dry Creek Diversion (Stormwater)project will be an important consideration based on the floodplain issues that are present in that area today.

This project would also implement the recommendations of the North College Avenue (US-287)Access Management Plan. The scope of this project does not anticipate realignment of the Conifer-Hickory intersection, although that is indicated on the Master Street Plan and may become important in the future. The project scope would need to account for future realignment of the Vine Drive intersection, to Pinon Street. Project Location: North College Avenue (US-287) from the existing Vine Drive (Poudre River) to the existing Conifer Street. Why is this Project Needed? This project is necessary due to the extremely hazardous conditions that presently exist along the North College corridor. This area has an accident rate that is higher than the statewide average for this type of roadway facility. Many of the reported accidents (over 80%) could be attributed to access-related problems. It is also necessary for the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists,because facilities for alternate travel modes are either non-existent or extremely sub-standard. The proposed improvements will also allow this corridor to maintain an acceptable Level of Service (LOS) for vehicular traffic, thus reducing congestion and improving air quality. This project is indicated on the City's Master Street Plan and is included in the Capital Improvement Program of the Transportation Master Plan. The project is also included in the MPO's Regional Transportation Plan and CDOT's Access Management Plan. Other Related Projects: This project will require extensive coordination with Utilities, particularly Stormwater and the Dry Creek diversion project. Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will also be heavily involved since this is part of US Highway 287 and State Highway 14.

This project includes a grade- separated (overpass or underpass) crossing of Vine Drive and the BNSF RR tracks adjacent to Vine Drive. It also anticipates the realignment of a portion of Timberline at Vine, and urban interchange type connections between Timberline and Vine. The realignment of this segment of Timberline is to the east, and is needed in order to avoid impacts to the historic Plummer Schoolhouse. Project Location: On Timberline Road,north of Mulberry Street (SH-14) to Mountain Vista Drive. Why is this Project Needed? This project is needed for public safety, to reduce conflicts with the existing at-grade RR crossing. The new grade-separated RR crossing, coupled with the widening of Timberline Road, will improve traffic flow, relieve congestion and improve air quality. This will be especially important as the Mountain Vista area continues to develop. The project is also extremely important for preservation of the historic Plummer Schoolhouse. This project is indicated on the City's Master Street Plan and is included in the Capital Improvement Program of the Transportation Master Plan. The RR grade-separation is also a part of the MPO's Regional Transportation Plan in the Rail category, since this is a regionally significant rail corridor. Other Related Projects: Railroad operations and work within the RR right-of-way will present challenges.

This includes fourteen (14)mini-buses, one (8) full size coaches and four(4) service vehicles. Project Location: Why is this Project Needed? This project will continue an uninterrupted adequate level of capital equipment support for on- going transit service in Fort Collins. The replacement vehicles will incorporate the newest technology to improve operating costs and efficiencies. Transit Staff will be looking to implement an alternative fuels option for the replacement vehicles. The replacement buses will provide for a higher level of safety. All Transfort buses are equipped with bicycle racks and provide multi-modal enhancement by creating many more travel options for travelers (especially pedestrians and bicyclists). New buses, compared with aging buses, improve the environmental/air quality conditions in Fort Collins by reducing engine emissions and creating an environment which attracts additional riders to the bus system. The City of Fort Collins has a history of matching all federal/state grants for transit related capital • acquisitions. The implementability of this project is extremely good. This project will continue a high level of reliable transit service creating a positive economic impact for those employers which rely on their workers productivity including "timeliness." Other Related Projects: If the replacements were to use alternative fuels, this project would be linked with the Fleet Maintenance's project for an Alternative Fuel Filling Station.

Project Location: Why is this Project Needed? Transfort plans to increase frequency on Routes IB,1C,2,3,4,5,6 and 22. New service will be added along Harmony to Ziegler. This service is an integral part of City Plan, Transportation Master Plan, and the North Front Range Regional Transportation Plan. In order to provide these additional services, ten (10)new vehicles must be purchased. The new vehicles will provide a large seating capacity thereby providing congestion mitigation. Transfort fixed route buses carried an average of 27.6 passengers per hour of operation in 1999. These buses will provide an enhanced service level by increasing productivity and visibility. All Transfort buses are equipped with bicycle racks and provide multi-modal enhancement by creating many more travel options for travelers(especially pedestrians and bicyclists). With this significant service frequency improvement Transfort will provide greater opportunities for people to leave their cars at home or in park and ride areas. This will improve the environmental/air quality conditions in the area by reducing engine emissions and creating an environment which attracts additional riders which reduces VMT through shared ride travel. It should be noted that significant gains must be made in the urban areas to reduce auto travel for the region to realize its overall goals. The City of Fort Collins has a strong history of matching all federal/state grants for transit related operating assistance and capital acquisition. The implementability of this project is extremely good. This project will provide a high level of reliable transit service within the city creating a positive economic impact for those workers which rely on transit to traverse the city to their jobs and employers who rely on their workers productivity including timeliness. Other Related Projects: The Mason Street Corridor is linked to the service frequency along College Avenue.

Implementation of this plan has been very gradual since 1995 with a few key projects completed using grant funding from the North Front Range Transportation &Air Quality Planning Council. This regional bikeway funding opportunity is being substantially reduced in the future. Therefore, Fort Collins will need to rely substantially on local funding for bikeway improvements in order to carry out the remaining projects identified by the community in the Fort Collins Bicycle Program Plan. These projects are very important in terms of safety improvements as well as vehicle miles traveled reductions and improved air quality. Potential updates to schedule and priority for implementation will be addressed through the Transportation Master Plan update presently underway. Project Location: Throughout the community. Why is this Project Needed? These bicycle improvements are critical safety improvement projects and will help achieve the City's goals for increasing the use of alternative modes, reducing traffic congestion, and improving air quality. These projects are consistent with the City of Fort Collins Master Transportation Plan, Bicycle Program Plan, Master Street Plan, and the goals of the Land Use, Transportation & Air Quality committee. Other Related Projects: Other City roadway projects could be linked to the bikeway improvement projects as funded plus additional funding may be available from the NFRT&AQPC. This is not the full list of projects presented by the Fort Collins'Bikeway Plan; additional projects should also be considered in the future- this is just the high priority list at this time.

Numerous projects have been completed using funding from Building Community Choices, as well as general funds for sidewalk maintenance programs and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On-going programs and construction projects build with BCC funding include Safe Routes to School and Safe Walk Fort Collins programs as well as the installation of missing or incomplete sidewalks, grade separations, or pedestrian bridges throughout the City. The BCC funds are also used to address inadequacies in the pedestrian network that arise as the rest of the City's transportation system is slowly built out. It is this flexibility that allows Transportation Services staff to tackle new unsafe pedestrian conditions as travel patterns and behaviors change with new transportation facilities. General funds are utilized to eliminate hazards and remove pedestrian obstacles, as well as install pedestrian access ramps, and make minor connections where no walk currently exists to bring the City into ADA compliance. BCC funding will end in 2005 and the City will need to find an additional funding source to • carry out the remaining projects identified in the Pedestrian Plan Update portion of the Transportation Master Plan. The dollar amounts below account for all pedestrian projects identified on the Transportation Board's recommended Capital Projects Priority List and the annual general funds used for ADA compliance and sidewalk maintenance. Project Location: Throughout the community Why is this Project Needed?

The need,priority and schedule has been evaluated during MTC final design and the Transportation Master Plan update and this project is one of the top priority elements that is needed to complete the MTC Bike/Ped trail. Project Location: The project is located at Troutman Parkway from Tanager Road to South Mason Street. Why is this Project Needed? East to west bike and pedestrian connections are necessary for the Mason Transportation Corridor to join commuters to activity centers. This underpass is a critical connection for the Troutman Neighborhood because this segment of the Corridor is the only mile stretch that does not have an east/west connection at the half-mile. This neighborhood has a large group of potential transit users who could be discouraged from using the Corridor without this connection to the transitway. It would also allow bicyclists and pedestrians to safely access on-street bikeways and sidewalks east of Mason Street. They would connect to the retail • shops and restaurants along Troutman Parkway. It will make an important improvement to traffic flow on Harmony and Horsetooth Roads by offering a viable option to automobile use. Other Related Projects: The project is linked to the Mason Street Transportation Corridor.

The Center would also include classrooms and arts education spaces. Project Location: Block 31 Why is this Project Needed? The Lincoln Center Performance Hall and Mini Theatre are booked to capacity. The current stage in the Performance Hall is not big enough to accommodate sets for many touring shows. The recent downtown strategic plan study shows that a new and expanded performing arts center would dramatically improve the old town area and stimulate economic growth in Fort Collins. Funding for the purchase of land was approved through Building Community Choices and the south half of Block 31 was purchased for the new facility. The new center is essential to the cultural and artistic life of Fort Collins.

It will provide space to double the existing collection, triple reader seating, and for community meeting rooms to accommodate larger storytimes, classes, speakers, and extensive programming. Project Location: Site of Poudre Valley Creamery at Howes and Laporte. Why is this Project Needed? Currently Fort Collins is below the Colorado average for libraries in respect to collection size, number of staff to provide services, and space for the community to meet, utilize the collection, and do research. The new library will provide the entire community with an equal opportunity to access information that is vital to their success, intellectual development and personal enjoyment, thereby enriching the life of the community, one person at a time. The new library will also create community by bringing people together through events, activities, lectures, readings and programs.

Council generally agreed that it wants to consider O&M costs as it decides which projects to include in the ballot package. City Staff has developed several O&M funding options for Council to consider as it reviews proposals for the Building on Basics 2005 capital sales tax renewal. The cost of O&M on newly constructed capital projects could be substantial,depending on the projects that are included in the capital program. O&M costs for the projects currently under consideration range from $3,000 per year to over$2.3 million per year. The projected O& M cost of the projects on the current project list is included as Attachment D. O&M funding options include: Options Needing Voter Approval: Non-Tax alternatives: 1. Companion tax for O&M 8. Continue funding new O&M costs through revenue growth StatusQuo) 2. Include O&M as art of the '/4 cent 9. T ortation Maintenance Fee • 3. Mill levy increase 10.

Sales tax increase on the ongoing rate; dedicated to two categories of operations and maintenance: Public Safety and Capital O&M 7. Occupational Privilege Tax (Employment Tax O&M Options Needin¢Voter Aooroval: Staff has explored several funding options that would require voter approval for implementation. Sales tax,property tax or other tax increases all require voter approval. • Option 1: Companion tax for O&M(i.e. renew '/4 cent taxes,plus a new 0.10 cent tax for O&M)(1/10 cent=$2.1 Million year) Voters could be asked to approve an earmarked sales tax of approximately 0.10 cent for capital project O&M, either as an on-going measure or for a defined time period. By asking for an additional tax for O&M, a full '/4 cent renewal could be used for capital construction. A vote for the '/4 cent for capital projects could • include the 1/1 Os'cent tax increase for O&M, or they could be separate votes. 71 City Council Members Building on Basics 2005 Update Study Session September 8,2004 Page 2 Pros: Cons: Complete package Risk that O&M could fail while capital tax passes True picture of actual costs Earmarked funding sources for O&M limit future flexibility Assures ability of the City to fund May be difficult to receive voter O&M approval Allows more projects to be A tax increase,rather than a renewal constructed with the Y4 cent tax revenue Portion of funding comes from visitors and regional shoppers Voters know exactly where earmarked money is spent • Option 2: Include O&M as part of the '/4 cent(i.e. .15 cent for capital, .10 cent for O&M) The current quarter cent sales taxes are devoted exclusively to capital design and construction,with no funding provided for O&M costs. By splitting the renewal between capital and O&M, fewer projects would be constructed. There are three options for how the '/4 cent could be split: 1. Capital for a limited time, O&M limited time 2. Capital for a limited time, O&M on-going 3. Endowment for O&M (i.e. 0.10 x 10 years equals endowment of$21 million) Pros: Cons: Complete package Limits funding for needed construction; fewer projects True picture of actual costs Favors low O&M cost projects re azdless of voter desires Assures ability of the City to fund Endowment very expensive O&M Predictable source of funding Earmarked funding sources for O&M limit fixture flexibility Not a tax increase Limited ability to shift dollars If O&M is funded for a limited time, the lon -term roblem is only postponed • Option 3: Mill levy increase(1 mill=$1.3 million per year) 72 City Council Members Building on Basics 2005 Update Study Session September 8, 2004 • Page 3 The City's current Property Tax mill levy rate is 9.797 mills. This generates approximately$12.7 million per year,with the revenue primarily committed to operations of the Poudre Fire Authority. Voters could be asked to increase the mill levy rate to provide additional funding for other on-going operations and maintenance. The City Charter limits the City's mill levy rate to 15 mills. Pros: Cons: Predictable and stable revenue May be a regressive tax because it is stream based on the current value of property, not on income or spending Complete package More impact on older citizens with appreciated ro erty values True picture of actual costs if Impact on businesses revenues are dedicated to O&M Assures ability of the City to fund Doesn't apply to visitors and regional O&M shoppers/employees Voters may be confused about the two separate taxes • Option 4: Increase to General Fund sales tax rate • The City's current General Fund sales tax rate is 2.25%. This tax is on-going and does not sunset. Revenue from the general sales tax are the primary source of revenue for the General Fund. Voters could be asked to increase the on-going sales and use tax for general purposes, with the expectation that new projects could be funded through these revenues. Pros: Cons: Recognizes the on-going nature of May be difficult to receive voter O&M approval Current sales tax rate relatively Voters may be skeptical if money is not low compared to other Colo. cities earmarked Portion of funding comes from visitors and regional shoppers Flexible funding source that wouldn't need to be earmarked to specific projects • Option 5: Excise tax on restaurant food and liquor Voters could be asked to approve an excise tax on restaurant food and liquor sales. The City of Boulder has a food services tax of.15%,which raises approximately$375,000 per year. • 73 City Council Members Building on Basics 2005 Update Study Session September 8, 2004 Page 4 Pros: Cons: Portion of funding comes from May be difficult to receive voter visitors and regional shoppers approval Flexible funding source that Limited revenue potential wouldn't need to be earmarked to specific projects • Option 6: Sales tax increase on the ongoing rate; dedicated to two categories of operations and maintenance: Public Safety and Capital O&M Voters could be asked to approve a more substantial increase to the City's general sales tax rate, with revenues earmarked for operations and maintenance of programs such as Public Safety and capital improvements. Pros: Cons: May make sales tax increase more May be difficult to receive voter attractive to voters approval Assures ability of the City to fund May be confusing or look like a bait and O&M switch • Option 7: Occupational Privilege Tax (Employment Tax) Voters could be asked to approve an Occupation Privilege Tax or Employment tax. The tax could be charged for every employee within the community, and administered through employers. A flat dollar amount could be charged per employee who works in Fort Collins. The City of Denver imposes a flat tax amount for all employees within the city, with portions paid by the employee and portions paid by the employer. The purpose of Denver's Employee and Business Occupational Privilege Tax is to generate funds for City facilities and municipal services to Denver citizens and businesses. Denver's current tax is $9.75 per month and raises approximately$20 million per year. The Cities of Aurora and Greenwood Village have a similar tax. Pros: Cons: Portion of funding comes from May be difficult to receive voter regional employees approval Flexible funding source that New concept that may be difficult for wouldn't need to be earmarked to people to understand and/or accept specific projects Used in other communities for Possible negative impact on employers/ many years Denver,Aurora, businesses 74 City Council Members Building on Basics 2005 Update Study Session September 8, 2004 Page 5 • Greenwood Village) May be tax deductible to Regressive tax if charged to employees employees and businesses directly because it is a flat tax, unrelated to earnings People paying have the ability to a Non-Tax alternatives: Staff has explored several funding options that would not require voter approval for implementation. By identifying options that would not require voter approval, the City could be more assured of the feasibility of implementation of the options. • Option 8: Continue funding new O&M costs through revenue growth(Status Quo) Currently, additional O&M costs for capital projects from programs such as Building Community Choices have been funded through existing revenue sources. The O&M cost for new facilities have been forecasted in the 10 Year Budget Outlook, and funding has been allocated from revenue growth during the budget year when the new facility becomes operational. Examples from BCC include the new Fossil Creek Community Park, Gardens on Spring Creek,the future new . Northside Community Center, etc. New road project maintenance has been funded by revenue growth in the Street Maintenance Program, funded primarily by a BCC sales tax. Pros: Cons: Does not require separate voter Limited growth in general sales tax consideration revenues create uncertainty about funding availabilit Capital projects compete with other operational needs Favors projects with small annual O&M costs T 0-Year Budget Outlook already rojects revenue shortfalls in future ears • Option 9: Transportation Maintenance Fee City Council has previously discussed the option of creating a Transportation Maintenance Fee for businesses and residences in the community. The purpose of the fee would be to maintain the City's transportation system, including streets, sidewalks,bike ways, medians, etc. The fee would be calculated based on trip generation data, and would vary based upon the use of properties. • 75 City Council Members Building on Basics 2005 Update Study Session September 8,2004 Page 6 Pros: Cons: Already have court approval of Billing/calculation issues concept Frees up General Fund revenues Impact on businesses for other uses Revenue source tied closely to cost Citizen resistance to other fees of service • Option 10: Renegotiate natural gas franchise fee(Approximately$800,000/year) The City has a flat gas franchise fee which yields approximately$445,000 per year. A fee of 3%of gross revenues would yield$1.2-1.5 million per year, or an addition$755,000—$1 million per year. City Council would need to approve any change to the franchise agreement. This General Fund revenue could be allocated to operations and maintenance needs. Pros: Cons: Could be enacted by City Council Fee passed on to gas customers Predictable revenue source Most Colorado cities have one Favored by natural gas industry A 15-20 year franchise agreement would provide a long-term revenue source • Option 11: Park Maintenance Fee A Park Maintenance Fee, similar to the Transportation Maintenance Fee could be established by City Council. This fee would be assessed to all residences in the community and based on the City's current level of service. It would be calculated based on the actual cost of maintaining the City's park system, including grounds and facility maintenance, mowing, materials, full-time and seasonal staffing, equipment, etc. Pros: Cons: Revenue source closely tied to cost Citizen resistance to additional fees of service Predictable revenue source Billing/calculation issues Frees up General Fund revenues for other uses • Option 12: Library Authority 76 City Council Members Building on Basics 2005 Update Study Session September 8,2004 Page 7 • Voters could be asked to create a Library Authority to fund library services regionally. Two or more local governments(cities and/or counties)would need to mutually agree to create the authority, and ask voters to approve the Authority. The Authority could then ask voters to tax themselves for library services, through property and/or sales taxes. The revenue from the Authority could be used to fund existing library facilities or to expand those services through additional facilities. Pros: Cons: Ability to assess regional users for Requires cooperation with other cities Library services Could cover future library projects Must be voter-approved by residents O&M throughout the district New legislation is there—no legal barrier • • 77 Attachment G • Additional Citizen, Board and Commission Input Building on Basics 2005 September-November 2004 • Bul in on a s 1 s • 79 Ann Turnquist-Capital Projects Ranking.doc Page 1 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Bruce Henderson,Chair Transportation Board DATE: November 18,2004 RE: Capital Improvement Projects This memo was originally sent to John Fischbach on March 8,2004. It is being re- sent for you November 30 Study Session. This will hopefully refresh you memory on the Transportation Board's thoughts about Capital Projects. At the request of the City Manager,the Transportation Advisory Board has completed a review of the Capital Improvement Projects listed in the recently updated Transportation Master Plan. We have prioritized a collection of projects across all modes that we feel are the best candidates to be included in a new tax initiative, perhaps as an extension of the Building Community Choices. As the Council is aware,we are seriously short of transportation capital funding in the city of Fort Collins. Continued shortfalls in capital investment in the transportation infrastructure will impact quality of life and may inhibit economic recovery. The Board supports the idea to secure additional funding. All of the projects listed in the Transportation Master Plan,which includes projects beyond the City's existing ten year capital inventory,have merit.In fact,it was difficult to pick the best of many needed improvements. The following comments share some of our thinking behind the choices made. • The Board strongly supports a multi-modal approach to funding our capital projects. Many of our transportation needs cannot be resolved by adding traffic lanes,especially in the more congested older sections of the city. • In establishing the distribution of projects between modes,the Board was guided by the distribution of projects in the overall Transportation Master Plan. The modal breakdown of our list approximately reflects the total share of capital need by mode. If further refinement of the enclosed list is necessary,we recommend a continuation of that distribution. ADD Tumquist-Capital Projects Ranking.doc Page 2' • Many projects on the overall capital needs list, like widening Lemay,are worthy but come at too high an opportunity cost relative to other needs. • Funding for the Bus Rapid Transit feature of the Mason Transportation Corridor project is not included in the priority list.We feel the size of the local share of that project is large enough to skew the percent too heavily toward transit. This project should be the topic of its own separate initiative. • The Transit projects included in our list provide for new and replacement vehicles only.In recommending this,we assume at least one route will be added to the current TransFort service: Harmony Road east to I-25 including service to the medical campus at Timberline and the Park&Ride at I-25. Funding for additional routes is,of course,not a capital item. We recommend the Council actively encourage the City Staff to aggressively seek opportunities to use modern Roundabouts at appropriate intersections throughout the city.Roundabouts result in a more efficient use of our constrained capital dollars than do conventional intersections,and can move more traffic with fewer lanes. The Council should further encourage the City Staff to explore ALL potential alternative sources for funding that are not currently being used. At it's December meeting,the Transportation Board will be working to further refine the attached list of transportation capital projects.

Fort Collins Museum Storage Facility. 6. Cache La Poudre River Habitat Restoration conditional upon"Open Space, Yes"tax revenues being considered as the first source of funds to make up any shortfall because of reallocation of total tax revenues or should the project cost more than budgeted. Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority this 9s'day of September, 2004. wvv / Kim Jordan, Chair Atte • J ~Meadors, Secretary 83 Mayor City of Fort Collins MEMORANDUM DATE: October 20, 2004 TO: Reginald Herin, Senior Advisory Board FROM: Ray Martinez, Mayor -(Y RE: Senior Center Expansion/�� This memorandum addresses concerns and questions you raised during our meeting on October 20,2004. I. Yes, the Senior Center Expansion project is still on the list of projects that will be considered by the City Council for the Building on Basics (BOB)capital campaign. The cost of projects still being considered far exceeds the revenues anticipated from the BOB vote. Consequently, many projects under consideration will not make it on the ballot. The City Council will decide the final project list. 2. Yes,City Council did receive the Senior Center petition and letter noting the multiple requests for expansion. It went to City Council on September 14, 2004 with an additional petition that Council received on October 7, 2004. 3. Your concerns about more baby boomers in the community needing more workout facilities are certainly part of the consideration for the expansion. 4_ The Senior Center building was not designed for expansion. The City purchased two acres of land southwest of the Senior Center building when it purchased the site for the Senior Center. It was a package deal. This land can be used to expand the Senior Center by building a separate building on it. This is the project included in the BOB project list. 5. The request for more parking for the Senior Center is included as part of the Senior Center expansion project proposed for the BOB campaign. If this project makes it on the ballot and if the ballot is approved by the voters, additional parking will be included with the new annex building. Also, the property in front of the Senior Center along Shields Street may be purchased to provide additional parking as well, if it is still for sale. 300 LaPorte Avenue • PO.Box 580• Fort Collins,CO 80522-0580B11(970)221-6505 • FAX(970)224-6107 • TDD(970)224-6001 www-fcgov com September 8, 2004 • TO: City Council REC�/VED FROM: Senior Advisory Board Sf P 1 .7 2004 City of Fort Col/ins SUBJECT: Building on Basics: Senior Center Expansion Data from a survey completed in the late 1980's indicated a need for a 60,000 square foot building. A 40,000 square foot facility was built. The Center was near capacity the day it opened in 1995. An average of 1,000 participants a day use the Center and participate in an average of 60+ programs a day. Many city residents are not aware of the age range and diversity of participants who use the Center. From the beginning the facility and programming was for adults 18 and older. However, special attention was and continues to be given to the 50 and older adults in our city. Participants range in age from late teens to early 90's, a range of approximately 70 years. Older people, people with disabilities and special needs, at all age levels, • participate in classes, recreational programs and activities at the Center. Eventually disabilities and special needs become part of the aging process for many of us. The City of Fort Collins can, and does, take considerable pride in addressing and meeting the needs of all residents. City officials have worked very hard to insure that facilities are physically accessible and programs and activities are financially accessible to everyone who wishes to participate. The current facility is too small to adequately serve the people it was intended to serve. Overcrowding has become increasingly difficult to manage. Storage is inadequate, in short supply, and poorly designed to meet the needs of participants and instructors A larger facility is needed. There is a need for better designed rooms and activity centers, new equipment, much more storage, and better ventilation for some activities. As a Board we are trying to look ahead, with a sense of urgency, to meeting the needs of the fastest growing segment of i our city. • 85 Cultural, Library, and Recreational Services Recreation Division/Fort Collins Senior Center Qty of Fort Collins September 2, 2004 Fort Collins City Council 300 LaPorte Avenue Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Dear Council Members: The City of Fort Collins Senior Advisory Board is vitally concerned with maintaining the quality of life for aging adults. We believe that it is very important to support the Senior Center as a focal point for programs and services for these citizens. In order for this resource to remain viable,it must be visible and accessible. We have been presented with information from time to time over the past few years about prospective projects to be constructed on the northwest comer of Shields Street and Raintree Drive. We are very concerned that any project on this property will limit the visibility of the Senior Center from a main thoroughfare. Additionally we are concerned that such a project may attract more traffic than can be accommodated easily on that site. We are also aware that such construction would mean that additional parking spaces would have to be eliminated from the Senior Center lot to accommodate access. We do not believe that this would be beneficial to the Center or its participants. The Fort Collins Senior Center,located at 1200 Raintree Drive,has been open since June of 1995. The facility averages approximately 1000 participants each day. The parking lot has 103 spaces, 14 reserved for special needs(10 handicapped, 4 reserved for those with special needs). There are certainly times when all parking spaces are used including all available street parking. We believe that this parking limitation impacts business and participation at the Center. For those who are unable to walk long distances,particularly in inclement weather,it is definitely a deterrent to use. If there were additional spaces, it would allow more to be converted to special needs use. I strongly encourage the City to include the Senior Center Expansion Project which would include acquisition of the property mentioned above to be developed for additional parking in the BOB. Sincerely, R"dA. )Henn Senior Advisory Board RECUUMN-its for life! 1200 Raintree Drive • Fort COMM CO 80526 • (970)221-6644 Ca7Y ( 'oUwu IJA In the early 19908 I was a member of the Building Team that worked with the architect in planning for the new Senior Center. Two things were left undone or changed, in my opinion. 1 . Although we convinced the planners to move the stage from its original site to its present site, there has always been a need for a "Green Room" - a room where performers could change costumes and/or wait for their entrance onstage. The nearby restrooms are not suitable for either, especially as audiences have increased in numbers. The Slightly Older Adult Players (SOAP) Troupe believes that an addition at the west (window) end of the stage would serve this purpose nicely, and without need for blackout curtains. A Green Room at this spot would be ideal. There has been, and is, such demand for space in the Senior Center that the stage is used by other groups and classes between shows. An ample, properly planned, Green Room addition could be used also to store props temporarily and securely when other groups need the stage between shows. • 2. During the planning phases, the Building Team planned for a large well-stocked library. We knew that most seniors are readers. Study groups such as the Front Range Forum hoped to have shelf space for books related to their course work. Reference and other books related to writing as well as recreational reading needed shelf space, too. Unfortunately, square footage area for the library was cut before the Senior Center opened, and computers have taken up a lot of the space that was left. Reading, and writing, are activities that have returned and are encouraged for people of all ages nationwide.local programs as "ReadOn Fort Such Collins " ReadColorado S and considered "Writing Life Stories" are ongoing , examples. Has the City that this library/media center, if expanded could serve the surrounding community as a branch library?

Marjorie Mc agga a rcrc etary Fort Collins enior Advisory Board, • 87 September 8, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Senior Advisory Board C SUBJECT: Building on Basics: Senior Center Expansion This letter is in reference to the Arts and Crafts classes, programs and activities sponsored by the Senior Center staff and volunteers. Quilting, crafts, photography, cartooning, sewing, calligraphy, scrap booking, spinning, felt making,jewelry making, basketry, acrylic, water colors, candle making, book making, ceramics, stained glass, rock cutting and polishing, open shop, and minor repairs are generally taught in Activity Rooms #'s 1 & 2, wet crafts room, or the studio/shop area. The stage and Activity Room #3 are used on occasion due to scheduling conflicts. Scheduling, at is best, is sometimes difficult, frustrating, and a real headache. There simply are not enough classrooms to meet the current needs during peak periods. Setting up equipment, and taking it down and storing it, takes time and energy and detracts from the instruction and class times. Storage of materials, supplies, molds for ceramics, and other materials is a horrendous problem. Storage is compounded by having to also store display units, props, and equipment used for special activities at the Center. The wet crafts room and the studio/shop have dust and toxic vapors which have to be monitored closely for some classes. The dust collection system in the studio (which also serves as the wood shop)was added after the building was completed. The ventilation system, for removal of heat from the kilns and toxic vapors from painting, finishing, and ceramics, needs to be included in the basic design of a new facility On occasion the two-activity rooms, wet crafts room, and studio/shop are used to store chairs from other parts of the building. The activity rooms may also be used for foot care. Y 88 September 8, 2004 TO: City Council FROM: Senior Advisory Board C. L't'L., �Zj� SUBJECT: Building on Basics: Senior Center Expansion This letter is in reference to the current exercise/fitness/wellness programs and activities provided at the Senior Center. There is a second floor elevator landing and lobby which contains five (5) pieces of exercise equipment. Participants have to walk through the lobby to enter an adjacent activity room #3. There is a lot of foot traffic passing through the lobby to reach the activity room and the indoor track. At times it resemble exercising in a public area. Activity room #3 is for fitness and wellness classes and exercising. The room contains free weights, wall weights and exercise mats. The • equipment is not available when educational classes are in session or the room is being used for foot care. The four corners of the indoor track contain nine (9)pieces of exercise equipment. The equipment reduces the width of the track considerably at the corners, which in turn creates a hazard if six (6) to ten (10)people are using the track at the same time. (The new shock absorbing material on the track is excellent!) Most of the exercise equipment has been donated. Some of the equipment is considerably outdated. The important aspect of exercising, socializing, and visiting is curtailed greatly with the scattering of equipment and foot traffic through he lobby and on the track. Exercising alone is much less desirable and successful than exercising and Visiting with other people. • 89 9-'4-04; 5;33PM;SENIOR CENTER ;970 224 6072 F 2/ 18 Support for Fort Collins Senior Center Expansion We the undersigned support the expansion of the Fort Collins Senior Center and parking lot as defined in the Building on Basics initiative that will go to the public for approval in April 2005.

This number was based on national guidelines based on population and the results of a number of surveys and needs assessment studies conducted at the time. Although we were able to build a wonderful older adult center, funding allowed for only 40,000 square feet. The building has been programmed at capacity since the day we opened. The additional land and the way the building was designed was done so to accommodate growth as we could afford to do so. We have not lost sight of the need to add to the existing facility. The parking facilities are quite limited. The lot accommodates approximately 160 vehicles. The building accommodates approximately 65 events each day which attracts approximately 1000 participants each day. Most of those individuals drive themselves. There is a severe shortage of storage space in the Senior Center. Currently most storage is maintained in a series of sheds on the property. Currently there are six sheds and these do not hold all the necessary materials. Additionally, it is not practical to put tables, chairs, fitness mats and other like materials because it is inaccessible and difficult to get things in and out of these sheds. Due to space and funding limitations we were not able to build an appropriate kind of facility for fitness(such as for cardio-vascular equipment, strength building equipment, etc.), computer programming, arts programming. There is great demand for programs and services in these areas and we are not able to meet that demand in the current space. The population of citizens age 65 and older is estimated to increase five (5) fold in the next twenty years. In order to adequately meet the demand for services, we need to plan now. We urge City Council to consider expansion of the Fort Collins Senior Center to meet this need. 98 Ann Tumquist- Renewal of tax Page 1 From: "Linda Hopkins"<lindah@frii.com> • To: <djones@fcgov.com>, <datteberry@fcgov.com>,"Kurt Kastein" <kkastein@fcgov.com>,"Eric Hamrick"<ehamrick@fcgov.com>, "David Roy"<droy@fcgov.com>,"Ray Martinez" <ramartinez@fcgov.com>, "Karen Weitkunat"<kweitkunat@fcgov.com>, "Bill Bertschy" <Bbeschy@fcgov.com>, "Marty Tharp" <mtharp@fcgov.com> Date: 9/15/04 4:29AM Subject: Renewal of tax Council members and staff--Since the early 70's I've prided myself on being involved in the community's capital improvement planning process (DT2)...well as they say, "pride cometh before the fall" so perhaps I should not be surprised that listening to council and the staff presentation I was sorely disappointed that community comments were"assumed"to support a simple continuation of the street maintenance tax. I for one--and apparently and perhaps, just one--certainly brought up (and rather emphatically)at the city presentation to LLAC, the notion of the basic City sales taxes set at a rate that would pay for basic services, INCLUDING street maintenance. I believe that option should have been an opportunity for public discussion. Despite our seemingly insatiable appetite for first class services that keeps ratcheting the budget demands higher and higher, I believe basic services including street maintenance should NOT be funded by a periodically citizen approved special taxes.And I will adamantly reiterate my concerns. Clearly my comments were either misunderstood or dismissed. I also had this same rather pointed discussion with Eric H. at his coffee klatch meetings. Basic taxes should pay for the basic services. "Special taxes pay for special Cl projects." • This notion of"BOB" is not building ON basics, in many ways it is simply "Building Basics" with continuously renewed taxes. Though it doesn't make quite as clever of an acronym,"BUB" —Building UPON Basics,would be more truthful and perhaps more exciting. Assuming the basics were provided within existing tax rates, additional capital improvements or special projects desired by many citizens and the requisite new and periodically renewed taxes would be consistent with citizen desire,demands and votes. "hey, BUB could you spare a dime?? would be our new campaign theme. ---------------------- Linda Hopkins The Group Inc.

This seems like a back door manner to replace the 'grocery sales tax'if defeated in November. I do not approve of back door politics. Be up front and say that it is to replace the lost revenue from the defeated (if, in fact, it is defeated)grocery sales tax. I am finding it more and more difficult to vote for ANY new tax the City offers. This is based on several recent offerings. The one that is hardest for me to swallow is the 25 year Open Spaces tax where the money is being spent on property faraway from Ft. Collins. I thought that these funds were to be used in the immediate 'belt'area of Ft. Collins. I propose that any tax, no matter what it is, is for a maximum of five(5)years. In this manner • we have an option to"kill'a tax, if renewal is aftemted, if it is not benefical to the majority of City citizens. Regards.

The Ft. Collins museum is a disgrace&should not be funded until they do a decent job with what they have. The renovation was horrible. • • 103 Pag 811 Anri Turngwst-City busses _ From: "Barbara Nichols"<Babnic2Qcomcast.net> To: "Brenda Speake"<bspeake@fcgov.com>,"Kelly DiMartino"<kdimartino@fcgov.com>, "Ann Turnquist" <aturnquist@fcgov.com> Date: 10/16/04 5:16PM Subject: City busses I have lived all over the world,all over the USA, and have ridden on most every kind of transportation there is. I can truthfully say I DETEST city busses more than I can tell you. Busses mess up traffic,their exhaust is stiffing,and they don't take you where you really want to go. They are misserable hinderences to traffic and dangerous! I believe rail is less constricting to traffic, more reliable,and can be put up over or under existing roads out of the way. I would never vote for more busses and would discourage anyone I talked with about it to veto using more of the same. B. Nichols 104 Ann Turnquist- Fwd: Re: Building on Basics Funding proposals Page 1 From: Darin Atteberry • To: Ann Turnquist; Diane Jones; Marty Heffernan Date: 10/31/04 3:13PM Subject: Fwd: Re: Building on Basics Funding proposals FYI... Darin >>>David Roy 10/29/04 8:54:31 PM >>> Good evening Katherine; thank you for sending me your e-mail. I have also forwarded it to the rest of City Council. Thank you for your interest in the future of Fort Collins. Please contact me again for any reason. David Roy City Council, District 6 Fort Collins, CO >>>"Katherine Lindgren"<klind7ahotmail.com> 10/29/04 08:44PM >>> The purpose of this letter is to urge you to include funding for both Technology equipment and materials for the Fort Collins Public Library in the"Building on Basics" item to appear on the April ballot.The loss of this funding with the end of the Building Community Choices funding would be a critical loss to this community. • It has been my experience that if library needs are clearly stated on a ballot issue the public will suport it. 1 spent 3 years and 3000 volunteer hours of my time working with 800 other volunteers to provide leadership to organize elementary school libraries in the PR1 School district in the 1960's. Therefore, 1 recognize the public needs to be educated about tasks and equipment required besides books to operate a successful library system. Keeping current materials coming is vital even though it means storing books at another location. Free public libraries are libararies for a free society. Reliable information is not free, has never been free, and never will be free as you know if you subscribe to an on-line information supplier. It must be selected, obtained and organized. Other public cultural entities have means of obtaining additional revenue as an itegiral part of their programs. Museums, orchestras, and athletic events all sell tickets in addtion to their public funding and volunteers. Libraries cannot do so. As the late John Eastlick, Head of Denver Public Library, used to say, "Libraries are the public's universities". People read, listen to tapes,watch vidieos,view pictures and study maps for myriad reasons.To find information, relax,escape, be entertained and to learn to do things. My father was a mechanic not a carpenter. He was determined to live the American dream and have a house of our own so in 1929 he went to the public library and borrowed a government document on how to build a house and wire it for electricity. He built it from foundation to roof and wired it. It still stands and appears to be in good repair.A tribute to the good use of a public library.
