The fees are collected when building permits are issued for projects. The decreases in all of these fees are due to the expectation that residential building permits, on which these fees are based, will be lower in 2009 than they were in 2007 and the estimates for 2008. At year-end of 2008, staff estimates that the total available balance in the Capital Improvement Expansion Fund will be approximately $19.2 million. The Neighborhood Parkland Fund will have about$8.0 million. The Street Oversizing Fund is estimated to have nearly $3.8 million at the end of the year.

The purpose of the fees is t ave ne deve p pay roportionate share of the capital improvements and equipment w' ec to provi services to the development. The Code provisions approved by the Ordinance provide for the annual adjustment of the fees to keep up with inflation,using the Denver-Boulder(now Denver-Boulder-Greeley)Consumer Price Index. The City has imposed a Parkland fee for neighborhood parks since 1968. In August 1996,Council adopted Ordinance No. 105, 1996,which conformed the Neighborhood Parkland fee to the housing size differentials in the Capital Improvement Expansion fee ordinance,and updated the fee schedule to reflect pre-1996 inflation. The Neighborhood Parkland fees were adjusted for inflation in 1997- 2007,along with the Capital Improvement Expansion fees. Based on the Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers,the inflation level since the last annual adjustment is an increase of 3.70% for 2008. This Ordinance adjusts the fee schedules in Chapter 7.5 and Chapter 23 of the City Code to account for inflation. In the Ordinance, all amounts for the capital improvement expansion fees have been rounded to the nearest dollar. in 0 C 0 1 '1' Y COPY - I ORDINANCE NO. 110, 2008 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS AMENDING THE CODE OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS TO INCREASE THE AMOUNTS OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT EXPANSION FEES CONTAINED IN CHAPTER 7.5 OF THE CODE SO AS TO REFLECT INFLATION IN ASSOCIATED COSTS OF SERVICES WHEREAS, the City is a home rule municipality having the full right of self-government in local and municipal matters under the provisions of Article XX, Section 6 of the Colorado Constitution; and WHEREAS, among the home rule powers of the City is the power to regulate, as a matter of purely local concern, the development of real property within the City; and WHEREAS, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan shows that the rate of future growth and development in Fort Collins will require a substantial expansion in library, community park, police, fire, and general government facilities, and related capital equipment, if its level of service standards for such facilities are to be maintained; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that new development should contribute its proportionate share of providing such capital improvements; and WHEREAS,the City Council has broad legislative discretion in determining the appropriate funding mechanisms for financing the construction of public facilities in the City; and WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 051, 1996, establishing certain capital improvement expansion fees; and WHEREAS, City Code Section 75-18 provides for annual fee increases in the capital improvement expansion fees corresponding to the increases in the Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers; and WHEREAS, in September 1968, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 038, 1968, which established the original Neighborhood Parkland Fee to fund the acquisition and development of parkland, which ordinance has since been amended on several occasions to adjust the fee and to refine related procedures and requirements; and WHEREAS, with the adoption in August 1993, of Ordinance No. 082, 1993, the City Council directed the City Manager to annually review the Neighborhood Parkland Fee and submit to the Council proposed inflation-related increases based on the Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index; and I WHEREAS, the City Code and ordinances of the City authorize the annual adjustment of all Capital Improvement Expansion Fees, including the Neighborhood Parkland Fee, for inflation; and WHEREAS, based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics most recent Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers, staff anticipates that the Index will reflect an inflation increase of 3.70 percent since the last annual adjustment of the fees in 2008, effective January 1, 2009; and WHEREAS, based on the Engineering News Record, the cost of constructing street improvements has increased 6.30 percent since the last adjustment of the Street Oversizing Capital Improvement Expansion fee; and WHEREAS, additional funds are necessary to recover costs for outparcel right-of-way needed for roadway widenings; and WHEREAS, for the foregoing reasons,the City Council has determined that it is necessary, in the interests of the protection of the public health, safety and welfare, that the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees, including the Neighborhood Parkland Fee and the Street Oversizing Fee, be increased.
