First Reading of Ordinance No. 134, 2010, Amending Ordinance No. 111, 2010, Being the Annual Appropriation
Ordinance Relating to the Annual Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2011; Adopting the Budget for the Fiscal Years
Beginning January 1, 2011, and Ending December 31, 2012; and Fixing the Mill Levy for the Fiscal Year 2011.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The revised Annual Appropriation Ordinance is presented for First Reading. This Ordinance sets the City Budget for
the two year period(2011-2012). The approved Budget becomes the City's financial plan for the next two fiscal years.
The original Budget Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 2,2010. Also on November
2, 2010, the Fort Collins voters approved a .85% increase in the sales and use tax rate effective January 1, 2011
("26"). On Second Reading (November 16, 2010)of the original budget Ordinance(Attachment 1), the City Council
added in items(listed in yellow in Attachment 2)that were discussed at the November 9, 2010 Work Session. These
additions did not allocate all of the 26 funds. City Council further discussed how to allocate the balance of the 2B
funds in a special budget Work Session on December 11, 2010. This revised Annual Appropriation Ordinance
includes the additional recommendations that were discussed on December 11, 2010.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The budget process for 2011-2012 has been unusual in that the November 2, 2010 election included a sales and use
tax increase which passed which added $18.7 million into the budget starting in fiscal year 2011. The City's budget
was developed without including any additional funding from the 2B. Since November 2, 2010, the City Council has
discussed the details of how to allocate the funding in accordance with the ballot language.
City Council Direction Received at the December 11, 2010 Special Work Session
At the December 11, 2010 Work Session, City Council had in depth discussions about which programs and services
to fund with the 26 funding. Following is a summary of that discussion. The detail about which programs and
services are recommended for funding is attached (Attachment 2).
Environmental Health
New resources in this area will allow us to build on existing programs and make progress on key sustainability goals.
The items supported by City Council include internally focused initiatives(e.g., green purchasing and environmental
performance data management) and community focused initiatives (e.g., Climate Wise enhancements and an Eco
Industrial Center Feasibility study)
Safe Community
With new resources, both Poudre Fire Authority and Fort Collins Police Services will be able to restore most prior cuts
and add new staffing. In addition to enhancing service, Council also spoke specifically of the need to reduce the use
of overtime in Police Services.
Culture, Parks and Recreation
This has been one of the hardest hit areas in terms of budget cuts. In Second Reading of the 2011-2012 Budget, City
Council approved funding for Mulberry Pool, Northside Aztlan Center,the Senior Center and the Fort Collins Discovery
Science Museum.Also,the currently vacant Recreation Director position will be restored. The 2B resources also allow
us to restore some previous reductions in parks maintenance and continue to develop and provide maintenance for
new neighborhood parks.
December 14, 2010 -2- ITEM 3
Transportation
Transportation has also been hit hard in prior budget cuts. 2B adds $6.2 million into street maintenance, and $3.2
million into other transportation needs. These resources will fund multiple services and projects, including bridges,
implementation of the Transportation capital improvement plan,Transfort operations,the FC bikes program and more.
Projects that enhance public safety are the highest priority.
Economic Health
In recent years,we have implemented key components of the City's Economic Action Plan. New resources in this area
will be used to enhance existing successful programs, specifically the Industry Clusters, as well as update the overall
Economic Action Plan. Resources will also be used to maintain services such as downtown landscaping and
maintenance, District One crime prevention and the July 4 community celebration.
High Performing Government
The primary components of this discussion are already referenced above. Council also voiced support for energy
efficiency enhancements to City buildings,enhancements to the leadership development program,aswell as restoring
a few prior Internal Services cuts. The City Council also supported reducing the number of furlough days from two
to one.
Neighborhood Livability
On Second Reading,City Council approved funds for Party Patrol and Riot Prevention,and it restored some resources
for the Affordable Housing Fund and the Human Services Program. On Saturday,Council voiced supportfor restoring .
other services, including the Community Mediation Program and an additional $100,000 for the Affordable
Housing/Human Services Program.
Overview of Implications of.26
On July 27, City Council approved Resolution 2010-047 submitting a proposed 0.85% increase in the city's sales and
use tax rate to the voters for their consideration on the November 2, 2010 General Election Ballot which was

devoted to street maintenance. With the passage of Measure 2B,those funds are now available for other City Council
priorities. At this meeting, staff will present any modifications to the programs and services which are listed above,
as City staff and City Council believe there may be additional efficiencies that can be pursued which may lower the
cost of these programs and services. Following this special City Council budget workshop, staff will prepare a
resolution or ordinance for Council consideration that outlines in detail which programs and services will be funded
from the Measure 2B funds. Any capital improvement projects identified in this process will need to be adopted by
ordinance per City policy (i.e., bridge projects).
Note: City Council also directed staff to fund reductions that were included in the original budget to
the Museum/Discovery Science Center. The recommended reductions are to take place in 2012, so
restoring that funding does not impact the 2011Appropriations Ordinance. City Council will note that
the funding has been restored inn..20.112` in the:budget.document..
Overview of Implications of Measure 2B 11
On July 27,City Council approved Reso`tion 2010-047-submitting a proposed 0.85%increase in the City's sales and
use tax rate to the voters for their consideration on the November 2, 2010 General Election Ballot which was
subsequently approved by the voters. The tax increase includes the following provisions:
• An increase of.85% (or 8.5 cents on a $10 purchase)
• The additional revenue will be allocated in the following manner:
0 33% for street maintenance and repair
0 17% for other street and transportation needs
0 17% for police services
0 11%for fire services
0 11% for parks maintenance.and�recreation•services;ands
0 11% for other community,pnorities as/determined)by)City Council.
• The increase will commence January 1,2011 and`sun"set-after 10�years,ending at midnight on December 31,
2020. / �
• The increase will yield an estimatetl $18.7 million in the first full year of collection.
Additionally,the ballot language requires the City Manager to report annually to City Council on how the revenues are
used and the cost saving measures that were undertaken by the City each year. In continuing to communicate with
community members regarding the proposed ballot measure,City Council and staff have received questions regarding
the proposed uses for the funds reserved for"other community priorities as determined by City Council." While the
resolution does not provide details on the anticipated uses for these funds, Council expects to allocate these funds
to high priority City needs identified by City Council in the annual budget process. This portion of the sales and use
tax revenue would provide approximately$2.1 million of new resources in the first year.
The services which will receive allocated revenues based=on-th'e formula in Resolution 2010-047 include
Transportation, Police, Fire, and Parksiand Recreation.) In 201101,these programs account for 68% of the expenses
in the City's General Fund. The remaining 32%•portion of the GeneraIIFund includes such services as Economic
Development, City Planning, AfforAbi le�Housinglprograms, Cultural Services, Development Review, Code
Enforcement, Natural Resources programs, and citywide administrative costs. The General Fund does not cover the
various Utility Enterprise funds including Electric, Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater services.
Resolution 2010-047 provides additional details regarding the types of programs, activities and services which could
be funded through the approximately $2.1 million in revenue provided by the 11% allocated to "other community
priorities." Some examples of needs which the City Council could fund include:
• Economic Health Programs: Assistance program for business retention and expansion, support of the
downtown area, and system improvements for Development Review and Planning processes
• Neighborhood Programs: Code_,Compliance, Community Mediation program, various Community
Partnerships (CSU, Poudre School District, Lar�mer County) and Affordable Housing programs
• Environmental Programs: Recycling, Sustainabilit'y/Programs, and Green Building Code
• Cultural Programs: Museum and co unity arrtrts ' f
• Critical City Service and Suppo zechnology-infrastructure, facility and vehicle maintenance,
