Resolution 2008-095 Respondingto o the Town of Timnath's Resolution #19• Series 2008 Proposing a Program of Cooperation with the City of Fort Collins Regarding the Riverwalk Proiect. On September 17, 2008, the Timnath Town Board adopted a Resolution proposing cooperation with Fort Collins regarding a property known as "Riverwalk" and requested a response from Fort Collins within 30 days. Riverwalk, which is located at the southwest comer of Harmony and I-25, lies within Fort Collins' Growth Management Area (GMA) which is identified in an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Larimer County. The IGA was established in 1980 and Riverwalk was incorporated into Fort Collins' GMA at that time. On September 24, Timnath initiated an annexation of Riverwalk. On October 1, Timnath Council had its first reading of the annexation ordinance; the second reading is scheduled for October 29. Fort Collins' staff has prepared Resolution No.095, 2008, as a response to Timnath's September 17 Resolution. The Resolution describes the City's longstanding willingness I to cooperate with Timnath on mutually acceptable development and revenue sharing approaches for Riverwalk and other I-25 properties of mutual interest and concern. The Resolution also describes the City's unwillingness to fund various infrastructure improvements that have been proposed by Timnath and states that the annexation by Timnath into the approved GMA of the City is not in the spirit of cooperation, but rather in the spirit of competition. Due to these, and other undesirable consequences associated with Timnath's annexation into Fort Collins' GMA, the Resolution states that if Timnath were willing to discontinue its annexation of Riverwalk, the City would be willing to enter into an IGA with Timnath that establishes 1-25 as the boundary between the two communities. The City also would consider the possibility of revenue sharing between the two communities and various other kinds of cooperative undertakings. Lastly, the Resolution states that if Timnath proceeds with its annexation into Fort Collins, funding for various infrastructure improvements and access associated with Riverwalk will be the responsibility of Timnath and/or the owners and developers of the property. 4.
