EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The North Front Range Transportation&Air Quality Planning Council(NFRT&AQPC),or MPO,received
additional federal funding on its 2001-2002 contracts with Colorado Department of Transportation as well
as some unanticipated State gra n 1 dgeted or appropriated for the current

used for the administration of MP to s ring its 2 1-2002 contract period.
Additionally, the funds to pay the personnel costs of non-City MPO employees, which were previously

NFRT&AQPC Fund. The Council's approval of this portion of the Ordinance ($207,625) will not
appropriate additional funds; rather, it will serve as a transfer of existing appropriations to the fund that
incurred the expenditures.
BACKGROUND:
The NFRT & AQPC is the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization. As the MPO hires new
employees, they are no longer considered to be employees of the City of Fort Collins. For that reason, the
MPO has a separate Federal Taxpayer Identification Number and therefore has to report the MPO
employee's payroll expenditures separately, thus requiring the use of the separate MPO fund on the City's
accounting system. For this reason, the existing appropriations for these people(originally budgeted in the
Transportation Services Fund) need to be transferred to the NFRT&AQPC Fund.

DATE: ITEM NUMBER: 16
Additionally,since the MPO's fiscal year closes September 30, 2002,all additional unanticipated revenues
not previously appropriated, need to be appropriated at this time so as to get the budgets/appropriations to
balance to the applicable contracts received from Colorado Department of Transportation and other State
funding agencies.
