Second Reading of Ordinance No. 126, 2013, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into an Agreement for the Financing by Lease-Purchase of Vehicles and Equipment. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on September 17, 2013, requests approval of an agreement for the lease-purchase of vehicles and equipment for the cost of $911,887. Payments under the agreement at the 2.28% interest rate will not exceed $193,489 in 2014. Money for 2014 lease-purchase payments is included in the 2014 budget. The effect of the debt position for the purpose of financial rating of the City will be to raise the total City debt by 0.67%. A competitive process was used to select Pinnacle Public Finance for this lease. A 2013 Finance Department analysis of current and historical equipment lease financing arrangements showed that lease- purchase is in the best interest of the City given the normal spread between lease rate and reinvestment rate. 7. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 127, 2013 Repealing Article II of Chapter 15 of the City Code in its Entirety. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on September 17, 2013, repeals Article II of Chapter 15 of the City Code in its entirety. Article II of Chapter 15 of the City Code addresses intrusion, robbery, fire and other alarm systems. This Article, last updated in 1972, is outdated due to the great advances in security systems technology over the years and needs to be repealed. 8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 129, 2013, Amending Section 5-47 of the City Code Pertaining to the International Property Maintenance Code. The purpose of this item is to propose Code amendments that will address ongoing exterior residential property maintenance issues that create a negative impact on neighboring properties and that are not currently addressed by existing codes. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on September 17, amends the International Property Maintenance Code relating to Deficient Structures and creates a Vacant & Dangerous Buildings Registry. Minor revisions have been made on Second Reading to clarify the definition of “deficient”. 9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 131, 2013, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Unanticipated Revenue in Various City Funds And Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated Amounts between Funds or Projects. The annual Clean-Up Ordinance allows for the appropriation of expenses related to unanticipated revenue, grants and unforeseen costs that had not previously been budgeted. The purpose of this annual Clean-Up Ordinance is to combine dedicated and unanticipated 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 2013 budget appropriation. 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 operational expenses. 10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 132, 2013, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue from the Institute of Museum and Library Services in the Museum Fund for “Living with Fire: A Community Responds” Grant Project. The purpose of this item is to appropriate $138,933 in grant funds awarded to Fort Collins Museum of Discovery by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. 11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 133, 2013, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Light & Power, Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Funds for the 800 MHz Radio Communication System Capital Project. The purpose of this item is to appropriate funding for the purchase and installation of an 800 MHz radio system for the Utilities Department. Conversion of the former wide-band system to a narrow- band system was completed at the beginning of 2013. The narrow-band system is not meeting the Utilities' safety and communications needs for field personnel and infrastructure protection. Page 4 12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 134, 2013, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Water Fund for Two Water Main Replacement Projects. The purpose of this item is to fund project design for the water main replacement on College Avenue and for design and construction of water main replacement on Meldrum Street. 13. Items Relating to the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District Intergovernmental Agreement. A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 135, 2013, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement with the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District Enterprise, and the City of Fort Collins Water Utility Enterprise for the Delivery of Potable Water. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 136, 2013, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Intergovernmental Agreement for Water Treatment Services with the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District Enterprise, and the City of Fort Collins Water Utility Enterprise. The purpose of this item is twofold: 1. To amend the existing Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Fort Collins Loveland Water District (FCLWD) by updating the terms of the Agreement, recognizing additional connection locations, and 2. Allowing for the sale of up to 5 million gallons per day (MGD) of Water Treatment Capacity through a second IGA with FCLWD. For the past year, Utilities staff has been negotiating with FCLWD to restructure the existing water sharing agreement and enter into a separate agreement for the sale of excess water treatment capacity. The revisions to the existing agreement, as well as entering into the second agreement, will benefit the customers of Fort Collins Utilities through incremental revenues and the customers of FCLWD by increasing the amount of water that can be delivered to them. The Water Board has reviewed the proposed amendments and new agreement and recommends approval. 14. First Reading of Ordinance No. 137, 2013, Designating 1501 Peterson Street as a Fort Collins Landmark Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the City Code.
