AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY DATE: February 21, 2006
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF: Jill Stilwell
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 032, 2006, Amending Section 2-203 of the City Code Regarding
the Functions of the Cultural Resources Board.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
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.
