DATE: November 6,2001
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF:
Alan Krcmarik
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 191, 2001, Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to
Adjust the Capital Improvement Expansion, Neighborhood Parkland and Street Oversizing Fees
for Increases Due to Increases in the Cost of Construction and Raw Water.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Ordinance increases the fee schedules for the Capital Improvement Expansion Fees and
Neighborhood Parkland Fee by the change in the 2000 Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price
Index. 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 relevant
governing provisions of the City Code call for increases to keep up with annual inflation, and the
fees were last adjusted in late 2000. This Ordinance increases the CIEF and the neighborhood
parkland fees by the projected increase in the CPI-U of 4.91%. For the Neighborhood Parkland
and Community Parkland fees, the fee levels are increased by $75.00 and $126.58, respectively
to cover the increase in the raw water cost. The Street Oversizing fees are being increased by
5.96%, the increase in the cost of construction as reported in the Engineering News Record.
BACKGROUND:
In May of 1996, Council adopted Ordinance No. 51, 1996, which established capital
improvement expansion fees for Library, Community Parkland, Police, Fire, and General
Government services. The purpose of the fees is to have new development pay a proportionate
share of the capital improvements and equipment that will be necessary to provide 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 of 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 1997-2000, 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 4.91%. This Ordinance adjusts the fee schedules in
Chapter 7.5 and Chapter 23 of the Code to this level of inflation. For the Community Parkland

fee and the Neighborhood Parkland fee, the fee level includes an adjustment for the increase of
the raw water cost. For the Community Parkland fee, this increase amounts to $126.58. For the
Neighborhood Parkland fee, this increase amounts to $75.00. In the Ordinance, all amounts for
this capital improvement expansion fees have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
For the Street Oversizing fees, the inflation index is the 5.96% based on the increase in
construction costs as reported in the Engineering News Record.
