Second Reading of Ordinance No. 026, 2013, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Unanticipated Revenue in Various City Funds and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated Amounts Between Funds for the Art in Public Places Program. In 2012, Article XII of Chapter 23 of the City Code relating to Art in Public Places (APP) was amended by Ordinance No. 078, 2012. Part of those changes included an administrative policy change to move APP art projects from lapsing to non-lapsing capital project accounts to improve the accountability and transparency of APP projects. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2013, will complete that process by moving all reserved APP funds as of December 31, 2012 to new non-lapsing capital project accounts or to a lapsing administration and maintenance account. 8. Items Relating to the North College Improvements Project - Conifer Street to Willox Lane. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 027, 2013, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain of Certain Lands Necessary to Construct Public Improvements in Connection with the North College Improvements Project – Conifer to Willox. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 029, 2013, Authorizing the Conveyance of Parcels of Real Property on North College Avenue to the Colorado Department of Transportation. The North College Improvements Project – Conifer to Willox is a multimodal improvement project that extends from Conifer Street to Willox Lane. This project will construct improvements in accordance with the City of Fort Collins North College Corridor Plan and the US 287/SH 14 Access Management Report. The project is planned to begin construction in 2014, addressing the remaining section of the North College Corridor. The project budget consists of both federal and local funds. These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2013, will enable the City to acquire certain lands adjacent to the project area. The acquisitions include both rights-of-way and permanent and temporary easements. Timely acquisition of the property is necessary to meet the anticipated construction schedule. This project is one of the highest ranked roadway projects in the City’s Capital Improvements Plan. 9. Items Relating to the Removal of Signs. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 030, 2013, Making Certain Amendments to Chapter 17, Article III, Section 17-42 of the City Code Regarding Signs in the Right-of-Way. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 031, 2013, Amending the Land Use Code Regarding the Removal of Election Signs. Ordinance No. 030, 2013, amends City Code Section 17-42 to eliminate the 24-hour notification requirement that the City must provide before removing signs that are illegally placed in the right-of- way. It also recommends providing notice to the business or entity identified on the sign after its removal, and holding the sign for ten (10) days to allow the owner the opportunity to retrieve the sign before disposal, unless the sign is insignificant in value or it advertises or promotes an event or activity that has already occurred. Also recommended is the ability for staff to immediately dispose of the sign if it is a repeat violation within a 12-month period. This section applies to all signs placed in the right-of-way. Ordinance No. 031, 2013, amends Section 3.8.7(L)(1) of the City’s Land Use Code to extend the length of time allowed to remove election signs from private property from four (4) days after an election to five (5) days after an election. This section applies only to election signs on private property. These Ordinances were unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2013. Page 4 10. Items Relating to the State Highway 14-Mulberry Pedestrian Bridge Relocation Project for the Poudre Trail. A. Resolution 2013-016 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation to Receive Funding for the State Highway 14 - Mulberry Pedestrian Bridge Relocation Project for the Poudre Trail. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 034, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue from the Colorado Department of Transportation into the Mulberry to Lemay Pedestrian Bridge-Poudre Trail project in the Capital Projects Fund. The City’s Engineering and Park Planning Departments were awarded a grant from the federally funded North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization totaling $368,000 for the relocation of two existing steel pedestrian bridges and the construction of a new concrete section of the Poudre trail. The general vicinity of the project is between Mulberry Street and Lemay Avenue, along the north side of the Poudre River. This project will build the trail, bridge abutments and piers to receive one of the relocated pedestrian bridges. Adoption of the Ordinance appropriates the grant money for the project and adoption of the Resolution authorizes the Mayor to sign the grant agreement. 11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 035, 2013, Establishing Rental Rates and Delivery Charges for the City’s Raw Water for the 2013 Irrigation Season. This Ordinance approves procedures and rates for the rental and delivery of the City’s raw water supplies. The Water Utility uses these rates to assess charges for agricultural use, for various contractual raw water obligations and for raw water deliveries to City departments and other entities. The proposed rate for each type of water is based on several factors, including market conditions and assessments charged by irrigation companies. Rentals in 2013 will be substantially limited and different than past years due to fire and drought related water supply issues. 12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 036, 2013, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into an Agreement for the Financing of Vehicles and Equipment for Various City Departments. The City of Fort Collins is lease-purchasing vehicles and equipment for various city departments. The cost of the items to be lease-purchased is $2,543,005. Payments at the 2.23% interest rate will not exceed $269,450 in 2013. Money for 2013 lease-purchase payments is included in the 2013 budget requests. The effect of the debt position for the purpose of financial rating of the City will be to raise the total City debt by 2.0%. A competitive process was used to select Pinnacle Public Finance for this lease. Staff believes acceptance of this lease rate is in the City's best interest. 13. First Reading for Ordinance No. 037, 2013 Repealing Ordinance No. 65, 1999, Resolution 96-73 and Resolution 88-81; Making Certain Amendments to the City Code and Land Use Code to Allow for the Discretionary Waiver of City Fees for Certain Kinds of Housing Authority Projects to Be Constructed in the City; and Authorizing an Agreement Between the City and the Housing Authority with Regard to Such Waivers. Colorado statutes and a City ordinance exempt projects of the Fort Collins Housing Authority (FCHA) from City taxes and fees and, for many years, the City has waived fees for such projects. For the most part, the projects have been relatively small. In 2011, the Housing Authority partnered with CARE Housing, a non-profit agency, on an affordable housing project in the Provincetown subdivision. Although the interest of the Housing Authority in the project was small (technically a .001% partner), a waiver of City fees for the CARE Housing Provincetown Project was requested and granted by the City Council. The fee waiver totaled $557,378. The magnitude of the waiver, as well as the fact that the Housing Authority held only a minor ownership interest in the project, prompted staff to examine the fee waiver policy for future Housing Authority projects. At a subsequent work session of the Council, staff was directed to provide some options for future projects, especially those in which the Housing Authority has only a minor interest. Page 5 Staff presented options and a recommendation to City Council on July 10, 2012. City Council generally supported the direction to make Fort Collins Housing Authority fee waivers optional and to limit waivers to certain kinds of project. Council also asked for some additional information and to discuss the options and recommended approach with the Economic Advisory Commission. 14. First Reading of Ordinance No. 038, 2013, Extending the Contract of the City’s Employee Wellness Program Software Provider. In 2008, the City of Fort Collins utilized a competitive bid process and contracted with the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (Mayo) to provide services associated with the assessment and management of existing and potential health risks of City employees. These services allow the City of Fort Collins Human Resources Department to collect and analyze data and support efforts to manage rising healthcare costs. Services provided by Mayo include employee health risk assessments, health information and education, support for behavior modification, and disease management. These services are an integral part of the City’s wellness and employee health benefit programs. Additionally, some organizations are integrating these services with an Onsite Employee Medical Clinic. There may be possible cost savings, efficiency and effectiveness benefits associated with this model. As the first step toward evaluating costs, benefits and options associated with a possible Onsite Employee Medical Clinic, the City will release a Request for Proposal (RFP) in the spring of 2013. Vendors will be asked to respond to the City’s interest in evaluating proposals that incorporate these services into the Clinic model. This extension will allow the City to evaluate options associated with a Clinic while continuing usage of services provided by Mayo. 15. First Reading of Ordinance No. 039, 2013 Amending the City Code and Creating a Parking Advisory Board. At the City Council meeting on January 15, 2013, several City Councilmembers indicated an interest in a possible parking commission or board as a way to continue implementation of the recently- adopted Parking Plan. This agenda item summary provides detailed information about the creation of a parking advisory board. 16. First Reading of Ordinance No. 040, 2013, Amending Section 2.2.11(C) of the Land Use Code Regarding the Period of Time that Project Development Plans and Plats for Large Base Industries Remain in Effect. This Ordinance amends Land Use Code (LUC) Section 2.2.11(c), regarding a Project Development Plan and Plat to allow for the approval of a final plan within a twenty-five (25) year period of time for a Large Base Industry to be constructed in phases and as defined in Article 5 of the LUC. 17. First Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2013, Amending the Land Use Code to Address Certain Recommendations Contained in the Student Housing Action Plan. The Student Housing Action Plan (SHAP), adopted by City Council on February 26, 2013, has identified both near-term and long-term action items to address concerns with compatibility between multi-family development and existing neighborhoods. This Ordinance will (1) improve understanding of compatibility by modifying the LUC to include good examples (photos, drawings) of what is allowed in certain zones; (2) amend MMN district development standards and LUC Sec. 3.8.30 multi-family standards to specify that no vehicular use area can be placed in the said setback from single- and two-family dwellings. Also, consider landscape requirements for this setback; and (3) better define and amend the LUC Sec. 3.8.16 (E) (2) requirement that 4+ bedroom developments need to provide additional open space, recreation areas, parking areas and public facilities as are necessary to adequately serve the development and retain the parking exemption in the TOD Overlay Zone. 18. First Reading of Ordinance No. 042, 2013, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Non-Exclusive Drainage Outfall Easement and a Temporary Construction Easement on Archery Range Natural Area to Cottonwood Land and Farms, LLC. Cottonwood Land and Farms is requesting a twenty-foot wide permanent non-exclusive drainage easement and a twenty-foot wide temporary construction easement, both approximately sixty feet in length across a small portion of Archery Range Natural Area. The purpose of the easement is to POSTPONED POSTPONED POSTPONED Page 6 install a 12-inch buried pipe to convey water from Cottonwood’s East Rigden Pit to the Cache la Poudre River. The buried outfall pipe crossing Archery Range is part of a larger 2,700 linear foot drainage outfall pipe constructed on adjacent properties. The project site is located generally on the “Rigden Pit” property and the “Port of Entry Pit” property northeast of Horsetooth Road and Ziegler Road. Alternatives to this preferred alignment proved prohibitive both from an economic and engineering standpoint. 19. First Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2013, Authorizing the Conveyance of a Non-Exclusive Drainage Easement on Salyer Natural Area to Charles Meserlian. The Hickory Commons project is a proposed live/work residential development located immediately north of Salyer Natural Area along Hemlock Street. The site is currently undeveloped, and the proposed project will include impermeable surfaces that will increase stormwater runoff from the site. Stormwater will be collected in a retention pond, and then released at a controlled rate through a buried pipeline within the existing Hemlock Street right-of-way. There will be no impacts to Salyer Natural Area; the easement only allows stormwater to cross the property to the Cache la Poudre River and does not involve construction of any improvements on NAD property. 20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 044, 2013, Authorizing the Conveyance to Woodward, Inc. of Two Non-Exclusive Permanent Drainage Easements and a Temporary Construction Easement on City- Owned Property. ITEM POSTPONED TO MARCH 18, 2013 The proposed Woodward Link-N-Greens Campus (“Woodward”) will be a master-planned campus providing the ability to retain and grow primary jobs for the community. The campus will accommodate Woodward’s continued growth of its current operations in Fort Collins. It also includes adjacent commercial services that can be used by Woodward employees and the public with close access to downtown and the Mulberry corridor. The planned campus will help to improve the river corridor through the site including restoration of the natural river corridor landscape, habitat, and appropriate recreation opportunities. The proposed use is compatible with existing and anticipated development, and supports the city’s vision for this area. Fort Collins’ City Plan (Plan Fort Collins) identifies this site in its Targeted Infill and Redevelopment Areas Map and denotes the Lincoln Avenue Area as one of its “Catalyst Project Areas”. These Areas are identified as locations in the city having potential to showcase opportunities to embrace the Plan Fort Collins vision themes of Innovate, Sustain, and Connect. They are viewed as potential places for public/private initiatives using a triple bottom line approach addressing economic, environmental, and social factors in a balanced manner. For this development, Woodward has requested that the City grant Woodward two permanent drainage easements for stormwater flows, one which would include construction of a buried drainage pipe and the other for a graded swale. In addition, a temporary construction easement is needed for grading, landscaping, and associated restoration work on City-owned property adjacent to the Poudre River. 21. Items Relating to Expanding the Boundaries of the Downtown Development Authority. A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2013, Expanding the Boundaries of the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority and Amending the Plan of Development of the Authority to Include Property Presently Known as the Max Flats Properties. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 049, 2013, Expanding the Boundaries of the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority and Amending the Plan of Development of the Authority to Include Property Presently Known as the Link-N-Greens Property. This item is a request to expand the boundaries of the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and amend the Plan of Development of the Authority to include a property in the 200 block of West Mulberry Street and a property in the 700 block of East Lincoln Avenue. The properties include the former locations of Mason Automotive and King’s Auto (southwest corner of Mulberry and Mason Streets) and the Link-N-Greens golf course. Page 7 22. Resolution 2013-017 Accepting the Proposed Donation of the Downtown Development Authority and Lisa Cameron Art in Action Sculpture. This Resolution accepts the donation of a five paneled painted steel sculpture that was created during the DDA Art in Action Project. This sculpture will become part of the City’s Art in Public Places collection. 23. Resolution 2013-018 Supporting the Grant Application for a School Play Yard Grant from the State Board of the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund for the Completion of Linton Elementary Playground. The City, in cooperation with Poudre School District, is applying for a Great Outdoors Colorado School Play Yard Grant for the completion of the playground at Linton Elementary School. The City is eligible to sponsor Poudre School District for this grant application and Great Outdoors Colorado requires this resolution expressing City Council support to be submitted as part of the grant package. No City finances are needed for this grant. 24. Resolution 2013-019 Ratifying the Appointment of Jennifer Birks to the Poudre River Public Library District Board of Trustees. On December 19, 2012, Trustee President Michael Liggett wrote a letter informing the Selection Committee of the term expiration of Michelle Kalkowski. On February 20, 2013, the Library Trustee Selection Committee, comprised of Mayor Karen Weitkunat and Councilmember Lisa Poppaw and Larimer County Commissioners Lew Gaiter and Steve Johnson, met and unanimously recommend the appointment of Jennifer Birks for a four-year term.

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 032, 2013, Amending the City Code to Impose a Ban on Oil and Gas Operations and Hydraulic Fracturing and Certain Storage of Waste Within the City (Option 1 or 2). (staff: Laurie Kadrich, Dan Weinheimer; 5 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion) On February 5, 2013 City Council directed staff to prepare City Code changes prohibiting the use of hydraulic fracturing and certain storage of waste within the city limits. Those changes are reflected in Ordinance No. 032, 2013. On February 19, 2013, Council amended Ordinance No. 032, 2013 to include a ban on oil and gas operations as well as hydraulic fracturing. The amended Ordinance was adopted on First Reading by a vote of 5-2 (nays: Kottwitz, Troxell). Council also directed staff to prepare methods to repeal Ordinance No. 145, 2012 which would remove the moratorium on the submission, acceptance, consideration and approval of all applications for City licenses, permits and other approvals in any way to oil and gas uses within the City, or at a minimum permit oil and gas operations if Council authorizes an “operator agreement” for such. 30. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 033, 2013, Making Amendments to the City of Fort Collins Land Use Code Pertaining to Implementation of the Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods Character Study. (staff: Sherry Albertson-Clark, Pete Wray; 5 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion) The Eastside and Westside Neighborhoods Character Study represents an assessment of neighborhood compatibility issues related to impacts of larger new construction projects. In comparison to the previous 2010/2011 Study, which focused on building size impacts, this Study takes a broader look at the character and context of the neighborhoods including building size and design compatibility. The discussion by Council on First Reading on February 26, 2013, focused on two options identified by staff for consideration in the Ordinance. Option A included a package of Land Use Code amendments with a revised Floor Area Ratio (FAR) formula; Option B included the same standards as A, except no change to the existing FAR. This Ordinance was adopted (with Option A) on First Reading on February 26, 2013, by a vote of 4-3 (Nays: Kottwitz, Troxell, Weitkunat). 31. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 023, 2013, Amending the City Code to Prohibit the Disposal of Cardboard in the Community's Waste Stream and to Amend Requirements for Recycling Applicable Solid Waste Collection. (staff: Susie Gordon; 5 minute staff presentation; 20 minute discussion) This Ordinance, adopted on First Reading on February 12, 2013 by a vote of 5-2 (nays: Kottwitz, Troxell), will prohibit placing corrugated cardboard boxes/packaging in trash containers for disposal Page 9 in landfills by any type of waste generator in Fort Collins, including commercial, industrial, and residential customers. 33. First Reading of Ordinance No. 047, 2013, Enacting Water Rates Adjustments for the Water Supply Shortage Response Levels Established in the Water Supply Shortage Response Plan and Amending the Plan. (staff: Donnie Dustin, Lance Smith, Lisa Rosintoski; 5 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) Based on the uncertainty of how much water supply will be available from our two main sources of supply, the Poudre River and Colorado-Big Thompson Project (CBT), which was presented to City Council as a staff report on February 5, the City Manager will declare Response Level 1 water restrictions for the City of Fort Collins on March 6 for the water restrictions to be effective on April 1, 2013. The Water Supply Shortage Response Plan, Ordinance No. 048, 2003, recommends water rate adjustments for Response Levels 2, 3 and 4. In preparing for the potential of moving to Response Level 2 or higher, Fort Collins Utilities staff has determined the amount that water rates need to be increased for each Response Level. Revising rates to be revenue neutral is consistent with the intent of the Water Supply Shortage Response Plan and how the rates were developed in 2003. The rates being proposed in this Ordinance attempt to maintain revenues at the 2013 budgeted level for each possible Response Level. The Ordinance also increases the Excess Water Use Surcharge for each Response Level beginning with Response Level 1. Ordinance No. 048, 2003 does not allow the use of water fountains for public display for any of the Response Levels. In preparation for the implementation of the Water Supply Shortage Response Plan, the City Manager has recommended that certain facilities of the City containing water features be excluded from the water restrictions set forth in the Plan so as to allow City management to evaluate their operation and use on a case-by-case basis in response to water shortage conditions. 32. First Reading of Ordinance No. 046, 2013, Amending Chapter 12 of the City Code to Establish a Disposable Bag Fee. (staff: Susie Gordon; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) At its November 27, 2012 work session, Council requested staff develop an ordinance that would apply a fee on single-use grocery shopping bags. This Ordinance establishes a 10-cent fee on both plastic bags and paper sacks that are used in the community’s grocery (food) stores. 34. First Reading of Ordinance No. 048, 2013, Amending Chapter 10 of the City Code Relating to Development in the Poudre River Floodplain. (staff: Jon Haukaas, Ken Sampley, Marsha Hilmes- Robinson, Brian Varrella; 10 minute staff presentation; 1 hour discussion) The final component of the Stormwater Repurposing program is to review the level of regulation protecting life and property for areas within the Poudre River floodplain. Staff is recommending that Council adopt revisions to the City Code that will establish a “performance-based” criteria and regulation that places more emphasis on life safety through advance warning and evacuation. The proposed Code language requires the development of a site-specific Emergency Response Preparedness Plan (ERPP) for additions, substantial improvements, change of occupancy, redevelopment and/or new development within the Poudre River 100-Year floodplain. The ERPP requires that procedures be established for evacuation a minimum of two hours in advance of when flood waters will impact the site and/or any portion of the designated evacuation routes. The Code language requires that the ERPP be reviewed and updated annually if there are substantive changes to elements of the plan. In order to facilitate the implementation of this new Code language, staff has developed the following documents: 1. A draft template that uses the requirements outlined in the proposed code language to guide the preparation of site-specific ERPP’s 2. A draft ERPP annual checklist form. The Working Committee and North Fort Collins Business Association (NFCBA) support the new approach and recommend that the proposed revisions to the Poudre River floodplain regulations be presented to City Council for adoption. The Water Board recommended approval of the proposed Page 10 revisions as an enhancement to the existing regulations, but encouraged Council consider prohibiting any new structures (i.e., development, redevelopment, etc.) in the 100-Year Floodplain. 35. Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items. 36. Other Business. a. Resolution 2013-020 Amending Resolution 2011-044 to Appoint Councilmember Gerry Horak to Serve as Alternate Representative to the North Front Range Transportation/Air Quality Planning Council - Metropolitan Planning Council for the March 7, 2013 Meeting to be Held in Evans, Colorado. The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) is an association of 15 local governments working together to improve regional transportation and air quality. Councilmember Ben Manvel is the City’s appointed representative to this organization, with Councilmember Wade Troxell as alternate. Neither Councilmember Manvel nor Councilmember Troxell is able to attend the March 7 NFRMPO meeting, and Councilmember Gerry Horak is available to attend as an alternate. The NFRMPO Articles of Association require the appointment of primary and alternate members be made in writing. This Resolution will appoint Councilmember Horak as an alternate to the NFRMPO for the March 7 meeting. 37. Adjournment. a. Motion to adjourn to 6:00 p.m., Monday, March 18, 2013. Every Council meeting will end no later than 10:30 p.m., except that: (1) any item of business commenced before 10:30 p.m. may be concluded before the meeting is adjourned and (2) the City Council may, by majority vote, extend a meeting until no later than 12:00 a.m. for the purpose of considering additional items of business.
