Unanticipated revenue in the General Fund from recording the sale of the properties ($2,088,400)
to the respective Utilities will be used to fund the appropriation needed by the General Fund to
purchase the properties to be acquired from Utilities.
September 19, 2006 -2- Item No. 21
Appropriations exist within the various Utility funds to record said transfer(purchase)of properties
for Utilities, except for $848,400 in the Water Fund for the Water Treatment Plant #1 parcel
($603,400) and the Old Water Works parcel ($245,000). These funds are available in the Water
Fund from prior year reserves.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Ordinance exchanges properties between Utilities and other non-Utilities City purposes. City
staff has identified two properties formerly used by Utilities but no longer needed for Utilities
purposes -the remaining 25-acre portion of the Wastewater Utility's Resource Recovery Farm and
the Electric Utility's Old Power Plant Building at 430 North College Avenue. In exchange for these
properties,four properties will be transferred to Utilities. The properties to be transferred to Utilities
include three sites that are, and have for years, been in use for Utilities purposes but were not
purchased with Utilities funds initially: the Water Treatment Plant #1 site (the area not in use as
Gateway Park), the Old Waterworks property on North Overland Trail, and the Mulberry
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The fourth property for possible transfer to Utilities is the Police
Annex site, Lots 36 and 37, less the north 80 feet, of Block 32 in the City of Fort Collins. This
property maybe an appropriate future location for Utilities' Customer Information Services office,
when it is relocated from 330 South College Avenue. The Charter requires Utilities to reimburse
other City funds for services received, and vice-versa. The City's Real Estate Services staff has
prepared value estimates for each of the properties and,based on those estimates,Utilities will pay
the amount of$13,400, the difference in total values, to the General Fund in order to make the
exchange an even one.
BACKGROUND
Surplus Utilities Properties
In 1979, the City's Wastewater Utility acquired approximately 350 acres of land known as the
"Resource Recovery Farm", located southwest of the intersection of Interstate 25 and Prospect
Road. The Wastewater Utility developed the Resource Recovery Farm as a beneficial reuse site for
its biosolids operation,which continued in that location until it became a less desirable location for
the purpose and all biosolids operations were relocated to Meadow Springs Ranch as of the year
2000. In 2000 and 2003, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 199, 1999, and Ordinance No.
098,2003,respectively,each of which authorized the transfer of portions of the Resource Recovery
Farm totaling approximately 325 acres to the City's Natural Areas Program in exchange for a
payment to the Utility. The Wastewater Utility has no further use for the remaining portion of the
Resource Recovery Farm,a 25-acre parcel at the northeast corner of the original Resource Recovery
Farm (the "RRF Parcel").
In the late 1930's, the City established its own municipal light and power utility. A power plant
facility was constructed on land owned by the City, located at 430 North College Avenue,
immediately to the south of the Cache La Poudre River and east of College Avenue, commonly
referred to as the "Old Power Plant". As of 1973, the City no longer generates its own electricity
and instead purchases all power from Platte River Power Authority. The City's Electric Utility has
no further use for the Old Power Plant building ("the Power Plant").
September 19, 2006 -3- Item No. 21
City staff has determined the City has other non-Utility uses and potential interest in the RRF Parcel
and the Power Plant. The RRF Parcel has been identified as the possible location for new
development to be arranged by the City consistent with City land use and economic health plans and
objectives. In recent years, the Power Plant building has been leased to Colorado State University
for its Small Engines Laboratory and it is anticipated the City will identify other similar uses of the
property in the future, working with CSU and other partner organizations.
The City's Real Estate Services staff has prepared value estimates for the RRF Parcel and the Power
Plant. Based on a review of the properties and comparable sales analysis, the value of the RRF
Parcel is estimated to be$2,000,000 and the Power Plant estimated to be $75,000.
Historic Utilities-Used Properties
In recent years, the City's Finance Department has increased its scrutiny of accounting for and
documentation of the City's general governmental infrastructure assets, including real property
assets, and has implemented new procedures for identifying and tracking such assets. As a result
of this increased scrutiny, and in response to questions regarding the source of purchase funds for
various City-owned properties, staff has reviewed the records of the City's land holdings and their
historic uses, and has determined that certain properties in use by the City's Utilities are not shown
to have been acquired using ratepayer revenues.
The properties in use by Utilities or of particular value or interest to Utilities that have not been
determined to have been purchased by Utilities are:
I. for the Water Utility, the 209-acre portion of the Water Treatment Plant#1 property
not in use for Gateway Park("WTP #1");
2. for the Water Utility,the 25-acre original waterworks property north of Fort Collins
on Overland Trail (the "Old Waterworks"); and
3. for the Wastewater Utility, the 14-acre property on which Wastewater Treatment
Plant#1, the Mulberry Plant, is located (the"Mulberry Plant").
Real Estate Services staff has prepared value estimates for WTP #1, the Old Waterworks and the
Mulberry Plant. Based on a review of the properties and comparable sales analysis, the value of
WTP #1 is estimated to be $603,400, the Old Waterworks to be $245,000, and the Mulberry Plant
to be$805,000.
Utilities Customer Information Services Office
For the past few years, Utilities has been searching for a new location for the Utilities Customer
Information Services office, currently located in facilities rented by the City at 330 South College.
A location in the Old Town area,with easy public access,is particularly desirable for this use. With
the construction of the new Police Services Building near the intersection of Timberline Road and
Drake Avenue, staff has begun the process of planning for the future use of current Police Services
facilities, including the Police Annex, a .14-acre site near the northeast corner of LaPorte Avenue
and Howes Street (the "Police Annex"). The City Manager, in consultation with the Utilities
General Manager, has determined that the Police Annex may be a desirable location for use by
September 19, 2006 -4- Item No. 21
Utilities for its Customer Information Services office,funded proportionally by each of the Utilities.
The transfer of this or some similarly valued property in the Old Town area, depending upon exact
plans and arrangements to Utilities of the Police Annex site will be necessary for future planning
and preparation for development of the Utilities Customer Information Services facilities.
Real Estate Services staff has prepared value estimates for the Police Annex,and,based on a review
of the properties and comparable sales analysis, has estimated the value of the Police Annex to be
$435,000.
Considerations in Developing the Proposed Exchange
All real property of the City is titled in the name of the City of Fort Collins. Therefore,the historical
records regarding real property acquisitions by the City do not clearly identify the source of funds
used to purchase each property, or for what functions or part of the City organization the property
was purchased. However, Section 23 of Article V of the City Charter requires that expenses
incurred by other parts of the City organization in providing services to the City's Utilities be fully
paid by the particular Utility receiving the services, and vice-versa. In addition, the Finance
Department has increased the level of detail in accounting for the City's real property assets,
including the source of purchase funds and"ownership"of City real property among enterprise and
other individual Funds. Consequently, staff has recommended the proposed transfers be completed
in order to clarify those real properties that are part of the City's Utilities systems.
Based on the value estimates completed by Real Estate Services staff, the total value of the
properties described herein to be transferred to the Utilities (the "Historic Use Properties"), as
described above, is $2,088,400, and the total value of the properties described herein to be
transferred from the Utilities(the"Surplus Utilities Properties"),as described above,is$2,075,000.
The net difference between these two totals, or $13,400, will be a net gain to the General Fund, to
balance out the exchange.
