First Reading of Ordinance No. 002, 2010, Amendinq Section 2-445 of the City Code Regarding Membership on the Youth Advisory Board. This Ordinance changes the membership of the Youth Advisory Board from its current membership of 7 to a range of 5 to 9 members. This change provides greater flexibility to accommodate fluctuating interest by young people in serving on the board. In the past, it has been difficult at times to secure and retain seven engaged board members. Currently, there are young people interested and excited about serving on the board, but no vacancies. 9. Resolution 2010-001 Approving Revised Costs and Fees for Fort Collins Municipal Court. The Fort Collins Municipal Court assesses various costs and fees, in addition to fines and other penalties. According to the City Charter, these costs and fees are enacted by Council, upon recommendation of the Judge. Various costs and fees have been approved by resolution over the years. At this time,Judge Lane recommends making some minor changes:adding a Collection Fee, revising the applicability of the Did Not Pay Fee to expand it,changing references to promissory notes to instead refer to payment plans (as they are referred to in the Court's current computer software version), and changing the title of the Short Check Fee to "Returned Check Fee" to be more descriptive. The Traffic Calming Surcharge, adopted by Council by ordinance, has also been added to the list so that all costs and fees assessed by the Court are included. 10.

Items Relating to Net Metered Electric Service and Interconnection Standards of Electric Generation Facilities to the Fort Collins Electric Distribution System. (staff: Steve Catanach; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) A. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 003, 2010, Amending Chapter 26, Article VI of the City Code Relating to Net Metered Electric Service. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 004, 2010, Adopting Standards for Interconnection of Electric Generation Facilities to the Fort Collins Electric Distribution System. The proposed net metering rate and interconnection standards have been developed with the goal of establishing rates and standards that encourage and facilitate the installation of renewable generation within our community. As requested, staff is proposing net metering language that establishes limits similar to those established by the Colorado Legislature through Colorado Revised Statute §40-2-124, and subsequently by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission(PUC)forcustomers served by investor owned utilities.The PUC has established net metering limits at 120%of annual consumption. The PUC also enacted language limiting the installation to the capacity of the service entrance. The proposed interconnection standards have been developed to support the adoption of a net metering rate that enables customers to install renewable generation capable of supplying up to 120% of their annual kilowatt-hour consumption. The standards define the requirements of the connection between the utility and the customer's generator to insure a safe connection that protects the distribution system, adjacent customers, the generator and the customer. 15.
