The unspent funds were added to fund reserves at the end of 2001. Appropriations were typically not spent because: • There was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2001 and thus there was no known vendor or binding contract to encumber the funds for expenditure in 2002. DATE: a ruary ITEM NUMBER: 18 • The project for which the funds were originally appropriated could not be completed during 2001 and, therefore, appropriation of those funds is necessary for completion of the project in 2002. This Ordinance reappropriates the 2001 funds for the same uses in 2002 as were originally approved by Council in 2001. GENERAL FUND Landmark Rehabilitation Grant Program - $24,752. Funds were awarded to various projects, under the Landmark Rehabilitation Grant program, that could not be completed in 2001. The applicants have until April, 2002 to complete these projects. This item reappropriates the $24,752 for final applications that will be received in 2002. Update City Plan - $23,993.

This item reappropriates the remaining funds of$23,993 to update City Plan. Historic Preservation Projects - $92,491. Funds were appropriated by Council for historic preservation projects that were begun in 2001 but have not yet been completed.

Staff is in the process of finalizing the grant contract, but was unable to complete it before the close of 2001. The Design Assistance Program funding was not spent in 2001 because the applicants need to complete their projects and apply for final payment. Funds were also designated for consultant services to assist City staff in reviewing redevelopment proposals for the Old Fort Collins High School. This project was initiated at the end of 2001 and staff was unable to finalize the professional services before the end of the year. Funds were included in 2001 for upgrading computer equipment for a historic preservation database. The assessment and decision of the types of equipment necessary to accommodate the database was underway in 2001, but not completed. This funding is needed in 2002 to complete the various historic preservation projects begun in 2001. Affordable Housing Land Bank - $750,000. These funds were appropriated by Council for the Affordable Housing Land Bank program. Staff searched for sites to purchase, but was not successful before the close of 2001.

Funds were allocated for various city plans in 2001 that were not completed. The 2020 Projections project was delayed because staff was working with other regional jurisdictions to expand the project to include those jurisdictions (for example, Latimer County and the NFRAQPC). For the Fort Collins/Timnath/Windsor Community Separator project, the professional services contract is underway and the remaining funds are for additional consultant services, public outreach, and other project expenses that will be required for completion of the project in 2002. The preparation of the BAVA Neighborhood Plan was delayed due to other higher priority Council policy items. The Fort Collins/Wellington Community Separator study has also been delayed due to other higher priority Council policy items. The I-25 Subarea Plan is underway, but was not completed in 2001. This item reappropriates the remaining funds of$262,771 to complete the various plans. Community Opportunity Investments - $63,843. The Community Opportunity Investments funds are appropriated to address potential projects and needs that were discussed during the budget process and other projects that may be identified during the year that might be of benefit to the City.

At the end of 2001, $281,495 of estimated ticket revenue that was appropriated for camera radar and red-light camera programs had not been spent or encumbered. These appropriations were set aside to pay any additional costs which City Departments might incur related to the use of camera radar and red-light camera systems or related to other programs intended to address the City's current traffic problems. This item reappropriates the $281,495 for the camera radar program and related expenses in 2002. Computer Aided Dispatch - $360,000. In 2001 Fort Collins Police Services purchased a new Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. After the initial installation of the system, the contract was terminated when the system failed to meet contract specifications. Fort Collins Police reverted back to the previous system and is now in the process of identifying another vendor. In 2002, Police will select a new Computer Aided Dispatch/Records Management System vendor. This item reappropriates $360,000 of the 2001 CAD funds to meet the necessary expenses for a new system in 2002. 800 MHz - $164,000. In 2001, the police dispatch budget included $350,000 in one-time funding for 800 MHz dispatch furnishings and consoles. Due to a delayed release of the newest digital 800 MHz console and lack of space, the project was not completed in 2001.

Due to bid process DATE: e ruary 5, 2UU2. 1 4 ITEM NUMBER: Is deadlines, a final vendor was not identified. These funds will be used in 2002 as part of the down payment necessary for the lease purchase of the target retrieval system. Latimer County Drug Task Force - $15,166. This money is the remaining balance from the 2001 Latimer County Drug Task Force account. The revenue source for this account is restitution received from the court for the Latimer County Drug Task Force. This is the only source of revenue for all Task Force operating expenses not paid by the Latimer County Drug Grant. Examples of these expenses are photo processing, office supplies, and clandestine lab safety equipment. Due to the nature of the revenue, annual operating budgets depend on the revenue from the preceding year. These funds need to be reappropriated to provide for task force expenses in 2002. Police Low-Rider Project- $7,842. In 2001, $10,500 was received from the Tommy Short Foundation to fund the Police Low-Rider project. The van was donated by Equipment Services and will be used as part of a youth outreach program. Of the $10,500 donation received only $2,658 was spent on the project in 2001.

In 2000, City Council approved one-time funding of $115,000, and in 2001, ongoing funding of $15,000 for the Natural Resources Department budget to establish a multi-material recycling drop-off center. Construction is underway at the Rivendell School location, and the center is anticipated to be opened in March 2002. This item reappropriates the remaining funds to be used for completion of this project. Con struction/Demolition Debris Project - $1,668. In 2000, City Council approved $20,000 to fund a pilot construction/demolition debris recycling project. The project continued into 2001, during which time the objectives of the project were to gather baseline data on construction debris waste from new home construction in Fort Collins and develop a system for separation of construction waste that can be applied to the construction industry. This item reappropriates the unspent balance to complete final outreach work on construction waste management. Recycling Center Expansion - $95,000. During the 2001 budget exception process, Council approved a $100,000 contribution to the proposed Recycling Center expansion at the landfill. Since then, Latimer County has postponed construction of the Center's expansion. The Natural Resources Department has contributed $5,000 to support the Latimer County Natural Resource Department's development of a solid waste/recycling education center at the landfill. This item reappropriates the unspent balance of$95,000 for the recycling center expansion. Clean Air Program Position - $26,864. The Natural Resources Department's 2001 budget included an approved .5 FTE Environmental Planner contractual position in the Clean Air Program, funded by the Utilities Department, to support the City's Climate Protection Program. Because of a delay in hiring, the position did not get filled until mid-year. This item reappropriates the unspent balance to continue staffing the position through the end of the contract. Carbon Monoxide Monitoring Site — $15,000. In 2001 Council approved funding to the Natural Resources Department in the amount of $15,000 to be used for a second carbon monoxide monitoring site.

This item reappropriates $7,176 needed to purchase the equipment. J.D. Edwards Financial System - $598,949. The Finance Department has appropriated funds over the past several years for expenditures related to the implementation of a new financial system. The funds are used for lease purchase payments for the J.D. Edwards Financial System, ongoing maintenance costs and associated consulting costs.

This item reappropriates $95,243 to complete the purchases of vehicles and equipment in 2002. Parks Maintenance Life Cycle - $32,920. Each year life cycle funds are budgeted to cover the cost of upgrades, repair and replacement of assets within the parks system. This money will be used to replace the lights at Lee Martinez Park tennis courts. There was not sufficient funding at the end of 2001 to replace the lights, so the $32,920 will be combined with 2002 funds to cover the entire cost of the light replacement. The project will be completed in the spring of 2002. Community Park Improvements - $17.328. This is Community Park Improvement money that was not spent or encumbered in 2001.

The Parks Division received $27,000 in 2001 for improvements to newspaper stands in the downtown area. The project was not at the stage where the money could be encumbered in 2001. The funds need to be reappropriated in 2002, so the funds can be spent on the project as intended. The project will be completed in 2002. DATE: February 5, 2002 6 ITEM NUMBER: 18 Gateway Park - $54,609. The Parks Division received funding in 2001 to open Gateway Park. Due to construction delays, the Park will not open until 2002.

Part of the GIS Strategic Plan implementation is the development of applications. For this purpose, GIS hired a contractual GIS Programmer/ Analyst. Due to other work items and a delay in the Spatial Database Engine implementation, the contract began in April 2001 instead of January 2001. Therefore, all of the funds were not spent in 2001 and $17,600 is requested for reappropriation to complete the contract in 2002. Spatial Database Engine (SDE) Implementation - $48,318. Another aspect of the GIS Strategic Plan Implementation is the development of a spatial data warehouse. This requires a migration of existing data, redesign and possible editing of existing data. Since the server hardware purchase and software installations were delayed, this project was delayed as well. Neither the in-house work, nor any bidding for consulting services was begun. GIS requests reappropriation of$48,318 to plan and implement the migration of the GIS database into SIDE. Document Management Program - $20,000. A project was initiated in the fall of 2001 to install a new enterprise document management system for the City organization. Funds were appropriated in the 2001 budget for this project, including the purchase of hardware, software and vendor consulting services. The new system implementation was successfully completed as scheduled, except for a web access software module. The reappropriation of $20,000 is needed for this software module that was originally planned for purchase in 2001, but was postponed until 2002 in order to obtain the benefits of the newest version. Promotional Campaign - $3,000. In 2001, money was allocated for a promotional campaign for Cable 27, including the purchase of advertising time on AT&T Cable. Production of the two 30- second spots took longer than anticipated, and consequently the spots were not ready to be aired by the end of the year.

Each year funds are appropriated to provide a revolving loan pool for the timely replacement of operating equipment (vehicles, machinery, and computer systems). Operating managers may borrow from the loan pool to bridge the period of time when the equipment is needed and the next available lease purchase package is started. The loan pool is paid back on approval of the lease purchase package. The balance in the Equipment Loan Pool reserve, at the end of 2001, was $400,000. This amount is requested for reappropriation to provide an equipment loan pool for 2002. Current Planning P&Z Board Training - $6,000. In 2001, Current Planning was given one-time money for training for the Planning and Zoning Board in the amount of $10,000. A reappropriation of$6,000 is requested for ongoing training.

These funds will be used to purchase a "Client" component of an Imaging System. The imaging system will be purchased by Fort Collins Police Services in 2002. This system will allow the Court to retrieve copies of accident reports and store reports from Police Services saving time for both departments. The purchase could not happen in 2001 because final decisions were not made until December 2001. These funds need to be reappropriated to purchase the "Client" component of the imaging system in 2002. CEMETERY FUND Lease Purchase - $35,527. Ordinance No. 156, 2001, was adopted by Council in November 2001, authorizing the lease purchase of City equipment.

EQUIPMENT FUND Operations Services Facility - $315,688. Plans call for Operations Services to relocate to the Wood Street Campus if and when a new performing arts center facility is constructed on Block 31. The plan would require the construction of a building to house Operations Services, currently located on Block 31.
