PAGE 6
23. First Reading of Ordinance No. 027, 2006, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves.
City Council authorized expenditures in 2005 for various purposes. The authorized
expenditures were not spent or could not be encumbered in 2005 because:
• There was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2005 and therefore,there was
no known vendor or binding contract as required to expend or encumber the monies;
• The project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not
be completed during 2005 and reappropriation of those dollars is necessary for
completion of the project in 2006; or
• The programs,services,and facility improvements for which funds were appropriated
in 2005 will continue into 2006.
In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into
individual fund balances at the end of 2005.

program known as Building on Basics("BOB"). The proceeds from the BOB package were

not known at the time of Council's consideration of the Budget ordinances. This ordinance
appropriates funds from the Sales and Use Tax Fund allocation for BOB to the projects
which will receive funding in 2006.

Telecommunication Customer Service Standards - Cable Television.
The purpose of the Fort Collins Telecommunications Customer Service Standards - Cable
Television(the"Standards")is to establish requirements for the quality of service provided
by cable operators to their customers in Fort Collins. Minimum Customer Service
Obligations were established by the Federal Communications Commission(the "FCC') at
Section 76.309, April, 1993. The FCC allows cities to adopt their own more stringent
standards.
The proposed Standards are incorporated by reference in the Franchise Agreement between
the City of Fort Collins and Comcast Cable of Colorado/California, LLC. The same
Standards will apply to any other cable television operator doing business in Fort Collins.
28. First Reading of Ordinance No. 032, 2006, Amending Section 2-203 of the City Code
Regarding the Functions of the Cultural Resources Board.
The purpose of the Ordinance is to correct an error in the City Code. The Cultural Resources
Board, as one of its functions under the City Code, makes recommendations to the City
Council regarding funding proposals submitted through the Fort Fund program. Before
1997, the Fort Fund Program only allocated funds from the Cultural Development and
Programming Account. In 1997, the Council passed Ordinance No. 074, 1997, amending
Section 2-203 of the Code regarding the functions of the Cultural Resources Board, and
Resolution 1997-060, amending the Fort Fund Guidelines,to allow the Fort Fund Program
to also allocate funds from the Tourism Programming Account. In 1999,Ordinance No.023,
1999 was passed by the Council to add a new function of the Cultural Resources Board to
Section 2-203 of the Code. Unfortunately,when the 1999 Ordinance was drafted,it did not
include the changes made to Section 2-203 in 1997, and by approval of the 1999 Ordinance,
the words "Tourism Programming Account'were unintentionally deleted from Section 2-
203. This error was just recently discovered. Approval of this Ordinance would amend
Section 2-203 of the Code to clearly authorize the Cultural Resources Board to disburse both
Cultural Development and Programming Account and Tourism Programming Account funds.

Use Code so that it coincides with the effective date of the City's new occupancy limit,which

30. First Reading of Ordinance No. 034 2006, Amending the City Code with Regard to the
Posting of Public Notice of the Meetings of the City Council.Committees of the Council and
City Boards and Commissions.

of public notice of meetings of the City Council,committees of the Council and City boards
and commissions, to reflect a change in the location of the place of posting, and to clarify
existing language about the types of meetings that need to be posted.
31. First Reading of Ordinance No. 035,2006,Amending Chapter 23 of the City Code Relating
to the Conveyance of Easements Required to Obtain Utility Service.
Generally, utility services such as electrical service from Public Service Company of
Colorado in areas located outside of the city limits, or natural gas service, are governed by
tariffs that have been approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Such tariffs
require that the customer's receipt of service be deemed to create a utility easement for the
installation of service lines and other infrastructure necessary for the service.
The Code requirement that utility easements must be approved by ordinance creates a
substantial impediment to City staff's ability to arrange for utility services for City facilities
and improvements.
To provide a more efficient mechanism for arranging for utility services, staff is requesting
that the City Council amend the City Code to allow the Purchasing Agent,with the approval
of the City Manager, to contract for utility services and grant utility such rights-of-way as
may be required in connection with those services.

45. Items Relating to Street Naming, (5 minute staff presentation- 1/2 hour discussion)
A. Resolution 2006-024 Updating the List For Arterial and Collector Street Names.
B. Resolution 2006-025 Renaming Cambridge Avenue and the Segment of Trilby Road
Lying East of Ziegler Road.
Section 24-91 of the City Code requires that all new arterials and collectors be named from
the official list of street names approved by the City Council. The list is adopted by the City
Council and names can be added only by resolution of the City Council. This Resolution
PAGE 13
represents an update to the official list of eligible street names in order to add a significant
number of new names and delete names that have been selected since the last update in
September of 2005.
Cambridge Avenue has been totally incorporated into the City as a result of four annexations
between 1993 and 2004. The name "Cambridge"Avenue, however, is a duplicate with an
existing "Cambridge" Drive located in the Cottonwood Subdivision east of Stover Street
between Columbia Road and Drake Road. The Resolution offers Council an opportunity to
remove this duplication by selecting a new name for Cambridge Avenue, and to that segment
of Trilby Road lying east of Ziegler Road.

investment fees to be used for city-wide capital improvements and no longer restricts funding
capital projects in the basin in which the plant investment fees are collected.

4. Resolution No. 003 of the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority Appointing an Ad Hoc
Committee to Make Recommendations to the URA Board of Commissioners Regarding
Implementation of the North College Avenue Urban Renewal Plan
In 1982, the City Council created the Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority (URA) and
appointed its own members to serve as the Board of Commissioners of the Authority. There
are a number of issues that have arisen during the start-up phase of the Authority and with
the North College Urban Renewal Plan in particular, that needs Board attention and
direction. In the past, the Council has used ad hoc committees composed of members of
Council as one means to provide early guidance to staff and to "screen" issues that may
eventually come before the full Council. Staff believes that this approach has merit for the
URA as well,and will save time and resources,for the Board,City staff,and the public. The
resolution establishes the Committee, appoints Councilmembers, and describes the duties
and functions of the committee.
