AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 16
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 111, 2011, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Unanticipated Revenue in Various
City Funds.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following is a list of funds that make up the increase in appropriations:
General Fund
Unanticipated Revenue $ 630,881
Prior Year Reserves
Traffic Surcharge Reserve $ 93,696
Camera Radar Reserve $ 274,485
Other Reserves $ 213,807
Capital Projects Fund $ 355,000
Cultural Services and Facilities Fund $ 53,768
Neighborhood Parkland Fund $ 167,797
Recreation Fund $ 151,901
Sales & Use Tax Fund $ 502,526
Transit Services Fund $1,445,784
Transportation Services Fund $ 36,500
The purpose of this annual “clean-up” Ordinance is to combine dedicated revenues or reserves that need to be
appropriated before the end of the year to cover the related expenses that were not anticipated and, therefore, not
included in the 2011 budget. The unanticipated revenue is primarily from fees, charges, rents, contributions and grants
that have been paid to City departments to offset specific expenses. Prior year reserves are primarily being
appropriated for unanticipated operation expenses from reserves that are set aside for that purpose.
This Ordinance appropriates prior year reserves and unanticipated revenue in various City funds. The City Charter
permits the City Council to provide by ordinance for payment of any expense from prior year reserves. The Charter
also permits the City Council to appropriate unanticipated revenue received as a result of rate or fee increases or new
revenue sources.
If these appropriations are not approved, the City will have to reduce expenditures even though revenue and
reimbursements have been received to cover those expenditures.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
A. GENERAL FUND
1. Fort Collins Police Services (“FCPS”) has received revenue from various sources which needs to be
appropriated to cover the related expenditures. A listing of these items follows:
a. $34,500 - Chemical Test Fees and Driving Without Insurance Penalty Assessments - Pursuant to C.R.S.
16-11-501(2)(j), the costs of chemical tests (blood/breath tests) shall be reimbursed by the defendant to
the law enforcement agency which administered and paid for the test. The driving without insurance law
provides revenue to the law enforcement agency issuing the citation. It is projected that by the end of
2011, $34,500 will have been collected by the courts and passed on to FCPS under these provisions. This
revenue is used to directly offset the actual cost of testing for Driving Under the Influence and Driving
Under the Influence of Drugs.
September 6, 2011 -2- ITEM 16
b. $3,800 - Training Revenue - In 2011, FCPS sponsored various classes which other agencies paid tuition
to attend. The training events were sponsored by the SWAT Team. The revenue from these classes is
used to offset the cost of supplies and to fund other SWAT related supply costs.
c. $4,200 - Community Workshop Fees - FCPS conducts community education workshops for Municipal
Violation and Noise Violation offenders. Attendance is a requirement as part of their sentence. The fee
is $20 per participant. This money is used to offset the overtime incurred by those teaching the course.
d. $12,390 - Miscellaneous Overtime Reimbursement - In 2011, Police Services billed various outside entities
for overtime expenses for the following activities: DEA investigative partnership, Tour De Fat, Brew Fest
and the Regional Auto Theft Investigative Unit. The revenue collected directly offsets what was spent.
e. $38,200 - Police Report and Special Event Permit Fees - Police reports purchased by the public and
insurance agencies generate revenue of approximately $7.50 per report. Special event permits are
required if the public wishes to hold an event that will interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic or takes
place on public property. Special event permits cost $50 per event. In 2011, approximately $38,200 will
be collected from these fees. The fee revenue is used to subsidize the cost of copy machine rental.
f. $200 - Community Contributions - In 2011, FCPS received a $200 donation from a community member
for the K-9 program. The money will be used to purchase equipment for the program.
g. $93,696 - Traffic Surcharge Officer - In 2010, authorization was received to hire an additional police officer
assigned to the Traffic Unit, to be supported by the Traffic Calming Surcharge. The addition was not part
of the 2011 authorized budget. Since inception, the fund has stabilized enough to support a third officer
dedicated to traffic enforcement. This appropriation covers the 2011 salary and benefits for the officer.
h. $97,068 - Downtown Development Authority (DDA) Funded District One Officer - In 2010, the City of Fort
Collins entered into an agreement with the DDA for the DDA to provide two years of funding for an
additional officer for District One. This appropriation covers the ongoing operating expenses, salary and
benefits for 2011.
i. $13,500 – Police Service Seizure Expense - In 2011, Police Services purchased a Lexipol policy
management system. The system allows for review of the origin of all policy content, including federal and
state laws and law enforcement best practices. This system provides regular policy updates in response
to legislative mandates, case law and best practices evolution. Federal rules determine what seizure funds
can be used for and the purchase of this system is a permissible use of these funds.
j. $46,309 – In-Car DUI Officer Camera System - The old DUI car camera system was failing, beyond its
useful life and ability to be covered by a maintenance agreement. A new system by the name of
“Arbitrator” was purchased in 2011. City of Fort Collins Purchasing Guidelines were followed in the
acquisition of this system.
k. $228,176 – Patrol Car Modification Project - With the replacement of laptops scheduled at the end of the
year, modifications need to be made to the patrol cars to accommodate the new laptop. The semi rugged
laptop is at the end of its life cycle and the next ruggedized series has a different “footprint”. Docking
stations are being installed to improve connectivity to (1) exterior antennas (Wi-Fi hotspots, broadband,
GPS signals) (2) power sources (battery, alternator and distribution timers) and (3) interfacing USB devices
(cameras, voice recorders, etc.)
The docking station also provides a locking mechanism for anti-theft and a more sturdy housing than a
stand-alone computer mount. Antennas will be added for improved wireless coverage. The vehicles
center console will be modified to integrate the docking station and laptop safely and ergonomically instead
of installing separate computer mounts. New radio cabling will also be installed in anticipation of mobile
radio replacement in 2012 while the console is removed, saving labor costs on that project. In total, 147
vehicles are being equipped. It is estimated these consoles have a useful life of 10+ years.
l. $40,000 – Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) System Storage Capacity Addition - The aging CAD/RMS
(Records Management System) system required a storage upgrade in 2011. This appropriation will cover
September 6, 2011 -3- ITEM 16
the cost of replacing the RMS component of the CAD system. This will be funded by the CAD reserve
account which was established exclusively to repair/replace CAD components.
m. $6,000 - Seatbelt Enforcement Grant - In 2011, FCPS received a contract from the State of Colorado
Department of Transportation for $6,000 to be used for seatbelt compliance enforcement.
n. $6,356 – Driving while Under the Influence (DUI) Enforcement Grant - FCPS received an additional $6,356
of funding over what was originally appropriated for the 2010 DUI enforcement grant. The grant pays for
FCPS officer overtime during multi-agency checkpoints.
o. $15,335 – DUI Enforcement Grant – Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) received a grant for DUI
enforcement in 2011. The grant pays for FCPS officer overtime during multi-agency checkpoints.
p. $6,376 - Colorado Internet Crimes Against Children Grant - For late 2010 and early 2011 Fort Collins
Police was the sub-recipient of $6,376 in grant funding as part of the Colorado Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) Task Force. The Colorado Springs Police Department administered the grant and FCPS
received funds to pay for ICAC sponsored community internet safety meetings and case related overtime.
The grant also provided funds to purchase computer equipment and to attend out of state training.
q. $13,271 – Supplemental Grant Awards - Fort Collins Police Services is the administrative agency for the
Northern Colorado Drug Task Force (NCDTF). The NCDTF is the recipient of a grant from the Rocky
Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program. Occasionally, additional funding is
available to help offset the cost of illegal narcotics investigations. Supplemental funding was received for
both 2009 ($7,414) and 2010 ($5,857) grants.

Working with Parks Maintenance, Streets, and Environmental Regulatory Affairs, the Natural Resources
Department has developed a proposal to establish a fully permitted, outdoor facility that will be used for
composting landscape maintenance trimmings and fall leaves. The $105,307 in the Waste Innovation

1. Federal Transit Authority (FTA) Section 5309 State of Good Repair Funding - The City of Fort Collins is the
recipient of $1,200,000 in unanticipated 2010 FTA Section 5309 "State of Good Repair" funding. The funding
was awarded to the City to replace three heavy-duty, diesel transit buses that have exceeded their useful life.

and one 60 foot alternative fuel (compressed natural gas) articulated transit bus with the grant funding.

2. Staff is requesting that the 2011 budgeted appropriation for expenses related to Senior Alternatives in
Transportation (SAINT) services be transferred from the Transit Fund to the Transportation Fund. Historically,
through the Transfort budget, the City of Fort Collins has contributed annual funding to SAINT for the operation
of a volunteer demand-response transportation program for people 60 years old and older and people with
disabilities. This low-cost type of transportation eases the demand for more costly Dial-A-Ride services
provided by the City. A recent Federal Transit Administration procurement review identified the need to use
time consuming and expensive FTA procurement processes if the City continues to make this $36,000
appropriation through the Transfort budget. These requirements are not necessary if the appropriation is from
another fund. As the current 2011 Transfort budget contains $36,000 to be paid to SAINT, staff is requesting
that this appropriation be transferred to the Transportation Fund to pay to SAINT. This issue will be addressed
as part of the 2013-2014 Budget process to eliminate the future need for a fund transfer. This item
appropriates the $36,000 in the Transportation Fund.
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue (Transfer from Transit) $36,000
FOR: Transportation Services Fund-SAINT Expenses $36,000
E. NEIGHBORHOOD PARKLAND FUND
1. Trail Connection from Provincetown Development to Carpenter Road - The developer of Provincetown 3rd
filing was required to provide funding for the trail connection from the development to Carpenter Road for
access to Thompson Elementary School on the south side of the road. Construction of an 8-foot wide
concrete trail will be installed in 2011. The funds will be used for the construction of the trail in conjunction
with Waters Way Neighborhood Park.
September 6, 2011 -7- ITEM 16
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue $167,797
FOR: Trail Development $167,797
F. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
1. Transfort is requesting that revenue and appropriations in the amount of $350,000, be transferred from the
Building on Basics (BOB) Transit Services Fund account to the Mason Express (MAX) vehicles project in the
Capital Projects Fund. BOB funding was awarded to Transfort to serve as local match for the replacement
of transit vehicles. The funds will serve as a portion of the local match for MAX buses, which will replace older
buses. This transfer is requested to appropriately identify the funds that will be used to meet the local match
requirements for MAX transit vehicle procurement - in the Mason Corridor Capital Project in the Capital
Projects Fund.
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue $350,000
FOR: Mason Corridor Project $350,000
2. The Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund provided a $5,000 contribution from an anonymous donor for bike lane/path
improvements on Trilby Road from the railroad to Timberline Road. Currently the additional funds needed for
these improvements have not been identified. This appropriates the contribution into the BOB funded Bike
Plan project to be held until the bike improvements project can move forward.
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue $5,000
FOR: BOB – Bike Plan Implementation Project $5,000
G. CULTURAL SERVICES AND FACILITIES FUND
1. City Council approved legislation in 1995 creating an Art-in-Public Places (APP) Program. The purpose of the
program is to encourage and enhance artistic expression and appreciation adding value to the community
through acquiring, exhibiting and maintaining public art. The program is funded by setting aside 1% of all
eligible City construction projects (including Utility projects) over $250,000, as defined in the APP guidelines.
The APP Program has received unanticipated revenue for specific art projects. The following items describe
the revenue source and how the funds are to be used.
a. $3,468 is revenue from the North College Improvement Project in the Capital Projects Fund. These funds
will be used for the APP project for North College. This project is currently in the design phase and will
be brought to City Council for final review.
b. $9,800 has been received from the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) These funds will be used
for administration for the collaborative projects with the Downtown Development Authority. For the DDA
Alley Paver Project, APP produced a total of sixty pavers with drawings by local youth, to be installed in
three alley projects. The Art in Action Project had an artist working on Old Town Square during the
summer months and creating a final piece of artwork for display.
c. $40,500 has been received from the Bohemian Foundation for the “Pianos About Town”, a collaborative
project with the Bohemian Foundation and Downtown Development Authority. These funds are the
Bohemian Foundation’s contribution to the project. This appropriation funds the overall project, including
the tuning, moving, purchase, repairs and artists painting the pianos, as well as a portion of the
administration costs. There will be fourteen painted pianos about town at the end of the project.
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue $53,768
FOR: Art-in-Public Places projects $53,768
H. SALES AND USE TAX FUND
1. The revenue forecast model was updated in July 2011 with data from the first six months of the year. The net
sales and use tax revenue increase is projected to be about 2.5% over the budgeted amount. While staff does
not recommend appropriating the additional revenue at this time, the appropriations for transfers from the
Sales and Use Tax Fund to the Capital Projects Fund for the one quarter cent Building on Basics tax, and to
the Natural Areas Fund for the one quarter cent Natural Areas tax need to be increased. Transfers to the
September 6, 2011 -8- ITEM 16
General Fund, the Keep Fort Collins Great Fund, and the Transportation Services Fund are not needed
because the tax revenues are recorded directly into the appropriate fund and do not flow through the Sales
and Use Tax Fund.
This item appropriates the projected increase of $217,500 for transfer from the Sales and Use Tax Fund to
the Capital Projects fund for the Building on Basics projects and $217,500 from the Sales and Use Tax Fund
to the Natural Areas Fund. These dollars will be held in the respective fund reserves for future programs and
projects.
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue (Sales Tax) $435,000
FOR: Transfer to Capital Projects - Building on Basics $217,500
FOR: Transfer to Natural Areas Fund $217,500
2. In accordance with Chapter 25, Article II, Division 5, Manufacturing Equipment Use Tax Rebate, $67,526 was
paid out in March 2011 for the 2009 rebate program. The rebate program was established to encourage
investment in new manufacturing equipment by local manufacturing firms. Vendors have until December 31st
of the following year to file for the rebate. This item appropriates the use tax funds to cover the payment of
the rebates.
FROM: Prior Year Reserves (Sales & Use Tax Fund) $67,526
FOR: Manufacturers Rebate $67,526
FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS
This Ordinance increases total City 2011 appropriations by $3,926,145. Of that amount, this Ordinance increases
General Fund 2011 appropriations by $1,212,869. Funding for the total City appropriations is $2,593,814 from
unanticipated revenue, $942,863 from prior year reserves, and $389,468 transferred from other funds.
