increases the City's wastewater rates by 5% effective January 1, 2006. The increase is
applied "across the board" for all customers. With the proposed rate, a typical single family
residential customer's monthly bill will increase from $17.87 to $18.76 or 89 cents per
PAGE 5
month. This is based on a system average 5,200 gallons per month winter quarter water use.

14. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 138, 2005, Amending the City Code to Increase the
Capital Improvement Expansion Fee, Street Oversizing Fee and Neighborhood Parkland Fee

increases the fee schedules for the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees and Neighborhood
Parkland Fee by the actual 2004 and estimated 2005 changes in the Denver -Boulder -Greeley
Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Given that the 2004 CPI was 0.20% and that fees are
adjusted by whole dollars, a significant portion of the individual fees would not have
changed during 2005. Therefore, the 2004 CPI of 0.20% and the 2005 CPI of 1.90% have
been combined, resulting in a cumulative change of 2.10%.
Costs in the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees ("CIEF") Study and the fee schedule for
the Neighborhood Parkland Fees were calculated using costs from 1995. The fees were last
adjusted in 2003. This Ordinance increases the CIEF and the neighborhood parkland fees
by the combined increase in the CPI of 2.10%, and the Street Oversizing fees by 1.61%,
which reflects the projected increase reported in the Engineering News Record.

Reserves for the Temporary Manufacturing Equipment Use Tax Rebate Program.
In March 1996, City Council approved a Manufacturing Equipment Use Tax Rebate Program
("Rebate Program") for use tax paid on manufacturing equipment. The goal of the program
was to maintain the local economic base by providing modest tax relief to manufacturers
located in Fort Collins. The Rebate Program has provided rebates to manufacturers for the
calendar years 1996 through 2001. The Rebate Program was suspended for calendar year
2002 due to economic conditions. Council reinstated the program in January of 2004 for a
two year period to coincide with the biennial budget. Under the Rebate Program, the rebate
payments are paid by the City during the year following the year in which the use tax was
remitted by the vendor. This is a rebate of taxes paid in 2004 and not a tax exemption.
Twelve companies have filed applications this year for a total of $168,000 in rebates. The
source of funding for the Rebate Program is the sales and use tax fund, specifically the use
tax carry-over reserve.
17. First Reading of Ordinance No. 144, 2005, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue and
Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund for the Restorative Justice Youth Conferencing
Program.
A grant in the amount of $20,000 has been received from the Colorado Division of Criminal
Justice for salaries associated with the continued operation of the Restorative Justice Youth
Conferencing Program. Restorative justice is an alternative method of holding a young
offender accountable by facilitating a meeting with the youth, the victim and members of the
community to determine the harm done by the crime, and what should be done to repair the
harm. By learning to understand the impact of their actions on the victim and community,
criminal justice officials are optimistic that repeat offenses by these youth will be reduced.
A $2,222 cash match is required and will be met by appropriating previously collected
project income from users of this program. The cash match is currently in General Fund
prior year reserves for Police Services.
The grant period is from October 1, 2005 to September 30, 2006.

this house will be affected by the right -turn lane that is to be added turning south on Lemay
Avenue from Prospect Road. The construction of this right -turn lane can be accomplished

responsible for all utility expenses and site clean-up.

Tim LaBaw, to remain on the property. Staff has enjoyed and appreciated Mr. LaBaw's
residency on the site since Mrs. Udall moved from this area in September 2002. Mr. LaBaw

responsible tenant. He appreciates the intent of the Natural Areas Program to restore the
area, decline public access for the time, and eventually develop an educational center on the
site. Entering into this lease with Mr. LaBaw will benefit the Natural Area. Mr. LaBaw will
be the only tenant on the site and will continue to expel trespassers, keep the gate leading to
the Udall Addition closed and generally watch over the property.

the applicant, who was not present at the hearing on October 4, Council, at its October 18
meeting, voted to rescind its October 4 decision and scheduled a new hearing at this meeting.
