Anyone may request an item on this Calendar be “pulled” off the Consent Calendar and considered separately.

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 002, 2010, Amending Section 2-445 of the City Code Regarding Membership on the Youth Advisory Board. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 19, 2010, 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. Individuals who wish to make comments regarding items scheduled on the Consent Calendar or wish to address the Council on items not specifically scheduled on the agenda must first be recognized by the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem. Before speaking, please sign in at the table in the back of the room. The timer will buzz once when there are 30 seconds left and the light will turn yellow. The timer will buzz again at the end of the speaker’s time. Each speaker is allowed 5 minutes. If there are more than 6 individuals who wish to speak, the Mayor may reduce the time allowed for each individual. ! State your name and address for the record. ! Applause, outbursts or other demonstrations by the audience are not allowed ! Keep comments brief; if available, provide a written copy of statement to City Clerk !

Items Relating to Net Metered Electric Service and Interconnection Standards of Electric Generation Facilities to the Fort Collins Electric Distribution System. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 003, 2010, Amending Chapter 26, Article VI of the City Code Relating to Net Metered Electric Service. B. Second 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. The net metering language 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) for customers 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. These Ordinances were unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 19, 2010. 9. Items Relating to the Construction of the Harmony Road and College Avenue Intersection Project. A. Resolution 2010-003 Authorizing the Mayor to Enter Into an Amendment Agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation to Add Funding for the Construction of the Harmony Road and College Avenue Intersection Project. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 005, 2010, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Capital Projects Fund for the Intersection Improvements Project for Harmony Road and College Avenue. This Resolution authorizes the City to amend a contract with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to receive State and Federal Funds designated for the construction of improvements to the Harmony Road and College Avenue intersection. The Ordinance appropriates those funds. 10. Items Relating to the Conveyance of Interests in City-Owned Property Known as Grape Street for the Benefit of the North College Marketplace Project. A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 006, 2010, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Portion of the City-Owned Property Known as Grape Street to 1908 N. College, LLC. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 007, 2010, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Temporary Construction Easement on a Portion of the City-Owned Property Known as Grape Street to 1908 N. College, LLC. The North College Marketplace Project (“Project”) is a shopping center development that will include various retail companies and will be anchored by a new King Soopers. The Project is located at the northeast corner of College Avenue and Willox Street and the north boundary is the City-owned property known as Grape Street. As part of this Project, Grape Street access will be eliminated at College Avenue and the developer has included a permanent access easement through the Project Page 4 for users of Grape Street. With this change, these conveyances have been requested by the developer of the North College Marketplace Project to enhance its development. 11. Items Relating to the Implementation of Phase Three of the Southwest Enclave Annexation. A. Resolution 2010-004 Amending the City Structure Plan Map. B. Hearing and First Reading Ordinance No. 008, 2010, Amending the Zoning District Map of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in Phase Three of the Southwest Enclave Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Phase Three of the Southwest Enclave Annexation consists of 1,080 acres.

Resolution 2010-006 Approving the North College Infrastructure Funding Plan. (staff: Clark Mapes, Pete Wray; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) The proposed Funding Plan essentially consists of a prioritized list of infrastructure projects needed in the North College Avenue corridor area, along with corresponding potential funding sources to pursue. It contains no new policy decisions, nor any obligations or commitments; rather it is an aid to implementation of previously adopted plans. The term “infrastructure projects” generally refers to construction projects that would build up a more complete system of streets and utilities in the area. These are basic public facilities needed to support long-term revitalization as envisioned. Council approval of the Funding Plan will establish a useful framework to guide work efforts and decision making on funding for projects over time. 17. Pulled Consent Items. 18. Other Business. 19.
