As part of this project,the City of Greeley is constructing a portion of the new waterline across the Dry Creek Stormwater Wetland located south of Vine Drive and east of North Lemay Avenue. Greeley has requested a 50-foot permanent easement and a 75-foot temporary construction easement from the Natural Areas Program. The area to be impacted by this project consists of 0.449 acres PAGE 3 within the permanent easement and another 0.656 within the temporary easement. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on September 16, 2008, authorizes the conveyance of the permanent waterline easement and the temporary construction easement. 8.

Items Relating to the 2009 Downtown Development Authority Budget. A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 114,2008,Appropriating Downtown Development Authority Operating Funds and Fixing the Mill Levy for Fiscal Year 2009. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 115,2008,Appropriating Revenue in the Downtown Development Authority Debt Service Fund For Payment of Debt Service for Fiscal Year 2009. The Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors (the `Board") adopted its proposed budget for 2009 totaling $48,730,577 on September 11, 2008. The Board determined the mill levy necessary to provide for payment of administrative costs incurred by the DDA at its regular meeting of September 11, 2008. Ordinance No. 114, 2008, appropriates the DDA and Beet Street operating funds for 2009 and sets the mill levy at 5.00 mills,unchanged since 2002 for the 2003 budget. PAGE 4 Ordinance No. 115,2008,appropriates funds for 2009 DDA debt service payments from the tax increment received by the City. 11. First Reading of Ordinance No 116 2008 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Unanticipated Revenue in Various City Funds and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated Amounts Between Funds or Projects. The purpose of this annual "clean-up" Ordinance is to combine dedicated revenues or reserves that need to be appropriated before the end of the year to cover the related expenses that were not anticipated and,therefore,not included in the 2008 budget. The unanticipated revenue is primarily from fees, charges,rents, contributions and grants that have been paid to City departments to offset specific expenses. Prior year reserves are primarily being appropriated for unanticipated operation expenses from reserves that are set aside for that purpose. This Ordinance appropriates prior year reserves and unanticipated revenue in various City funds,and authorizes the transfer of appropriated amounts between funds. The City Charter permits the City Council to provide by ordinance for payment of any expense from prior year reserves. The Charter also permits the City Council to appropriate unanticipated revenue received as a result of rate or fee increases or new revenue sources. Additionally, it authorizes the City Council to transfer any unexpended appropriated amounts from one fund to another upon recommendation of the City Manager,provided that the purpose for which the transferred funds are to be expended remains unchanged;the purpose for which they were initially appropriated no longer exists; or the proposed transfer is from a fund or capital project account in which the amount appropriated exceeds the amount needed to accomplish the purpose specified in the appropriation ordinance. If these appropriations are not approved, the City will have to reduce expenditures even though revenue and reimbursements have been received to cover those expenditures. 12. First Reading of Ordinance No 117 2008 Appropriating Proceeds from the Issuance of City of Fort Collins Colorado Water Utility Entemrise,Water Revenue Refunding Bonds,Series 2008 in the Maximum Aggregate Principal Amount of$19 000 000 in the Water Utility Fund. After the regular Council meeting tonight, the Board of the Water Utility Enterprise will consider an ordinance which authorizes the issuance of City of Fort Collins Colorado,Water Utility Enterprise, Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2008, in the Maximum Aggregate Principal Amount of$19,000,000. The Bonds will be issued to refund,pay and discharge all of the outstanding Water Revenue Refunding Bonds and Improvement Bonds, Series 1998. The City will be paying off higher cost bonds with new bonds that will have lower interest rates. The passage of Amendment 1 (the TABOR Amendment) by the Colorado voters in 1992, required the City to form enterprises in order for its utilities to be able to issue municipal bonds without an election. Since that time, all utility bonds have been issued by the appropriate utility enterprise. However, the City Charter grants only the Council the power to appropriate the funds. Therefore,this action by the Council is necessary in order PAGE 5 to appropriate the bond proceeds for the Water Utility. Authorizing the issuance of the bonds and appropriating the proceeds are both necessary to complete the bond transaction. The final rates will be determined by selling the bonds at a competitive sale later this year. 13. Items Relating to the Mason Corridor/MAX Bus Rapid Transit Project-Phase 1. A. Resolution 2008-090 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins and the Colorado Department of Transportation for Funding of Phase 1 Improvements of the Mason Corridor/MAX Bus Rapid Transit Project.

These funding contracts between the City and CDOT and the City and DDA will allow for work to advance on the Phase I of the Mason Corridor/MAX Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. This funding will be used for final design/engineering, construction, and vehicle acquisition.The design/engineering and construction improvements will include all elements of the MAX BRT service, including passenger stations, pedestrian access improvements, traffic signalization related to the BRT operations, signage/wayfinding, and converting Mason and Howes streets to two-way operation. The MAX BRT vehicles will be 60-foot articulated transit vehicles,designed to allow for low-floor boarding and will use alternative fuel. Subsequent funding contracts will be submitted to the City from CDOT and the Federal Transit Administration later this year and in 2009 to provide funding for the full corridor improvements from the Downtown Transit Center to the new South Transit Center,south of Harmony Road. 14. First Reading of Ordinance No 119 2008 Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenues in the General Fund for the Restorative Justice Program and Authorizing the Transfer of Matching Funds Previously Appropriated in the Police Services Operating Budget. A grant in the amount of$19,513 has been received from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice (DCJ) for salaries associated with the continued operation of Restorative Justice Services. A$2,168 cash match is required and will be met by appropriating funds from the police operating budget. Restorative Justice is an alternative method of holding a young offender accountable by facilitating a meeting with the young offender, the victim/victim representative and members of the community to determine the harm done by the crime,and what should be done to repair the harm. By identifying and repairing the harm caused by the crime,criminal justice officials are optimistic repeat offenses by these youth will be reduced and the needs and concerns of the victims and affected community will be addressed. Restorative Justice Services includes the RESTORE Program for shoplifting offenses, and Restorative Justice Conferencing Program (RJCP)for all other offenses. The grant period is from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2009. PAGE 6 15. First Reading of Ordinance No 120 2008 Amending Section 2.9.3(B)of the Land Use Code Modifvine the Procedure for Initiating a Text Amendment. There are two sub-sections to Section 2.9.3.

Presently, amending the text of the Land Use Code may be proposed by City Council, the Planning and Zoning Board, the Director, any resident of the city, or any owner or person having an interest in land located within the municipal boundaries of the city. The change would delete the ability to propose a text amendment to the Land Use Code by any resident of the city,or any owner or person having an interest in land located within the municipal boundaries of the city. Residents and owners are not prohibited from proposing text amendments. Instead of a direct application, however, a request would be subject to established City Council policy which requires that proposed changes would need to be supported by the City Manager,the Leadership Team, or three Councilmembers. 16. First Readine of Ordinance No 121 2008 Amending Section 2-119 of the City Code Pertaining to the Functions of the Building Review Board.

The new transmission line, referred to as the Harmony-Portner-Boyd 230kV i PAGE 7 transmission line, will cross a portion of the Fossil Creek Wetlands Natural Area. The transmission line will be constructed using a direct drilling procedure that will not result in any surface disturbance within the permanent easement.

Surface disturbance and subsequent restoration activities will occur within the temporary easement. 19. First Reading of Ordinance No 124 2008 Authorizingthe a Acquisition by Eminent Domain Proceedings of Certain Lands Necessary for the Construction of Public Trail Improvements in Connection with the Mason Corridor Trail Proiect.
