DATE: February 18, 2003
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL STAFF:
Doug Smith
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 034, 2003, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Reappropriating these monies does not affect the projected year-end reserve balances because, for
budgetary purposes, all appropriated monies are considered spent when estimating reserves prior
to completion of audited numbers.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
City Council authorized expenditures in 2002 for various purposes. The authorized expenditures
were not spent or could not be encumbered in 2002 because:
• There was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2002 and therefore,
there was no known vendor or binding contract as required to expend or
encumber the monies.
• The project for which the dollars were originally appropriated for by Council
could not be completed during 2002 and reappropriation of those dollars is
necessary for completion of the project in 2003.
Because of the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into
individual fund balances at the end of 2002.

system research and ammunition testing. Police will begin the RFP process this February.
Target Grant Foundation -$131. In 2002 the Fort Collins Police Crime Prevention Unit received
private contributions from the Target/Mervyn's Foundation which totaled$2,350. It was used for
community education and the KID-ID Project. The KID-ID Project provided money to purchase
portable computer equipment, which enabled officers to take digital fingerprints of children in the
community while providing"stranger danger"education. This money was originally appropriated
during the clean-up ordinance of 2002. As of the end of 2002 there was a remaining balance of
$131.
Rape Aggression Defense Education - $1,123. In 2002, the Fort Collins Police Services Victim
Services Unit received a contribution from a private foundation to conduct RAD training. Of the
original contribution of$5,000, $1,123 remains. This money needs to be reappropriated into 2003
to continue the program.
Facility Maintenance Management Software Replacement - $45,000. The current facility
maintenance management system software is obsolete.It was initially installed 15 years ago(1987)
and software support is no longer available through the vendor. An up-to-date maintenance
management software package is needed to replace the current software and to enhance the facility
maintenance operations by using the latest technology. Vendor submissions were due November
21, 2002 and the selection of 3 firms for interviews and software demonstrations was to be
completed by early December. Because interviews could not be scheduled until January 17,2003,
the award of the proposal will occur after approval of this reappropriation request.
Framework for Environmental Action Update/Sustainability Management System - $59,000.
These funds were appropriated in 2002 to address Council Policy Agenda projects. This project will
support the update to the Framework For Environmental Action through development of a
Sustainability Management System. This project will provide a systematic model for implementing
Sustainability strategies throughout the organization. The project will be managed by the Natural
Resources Department but will apply to all of Community Planning and Environmental Services
since the system will provide opportunities for integrating sustainability into operations and
policymaking striving to balance and reduce negative environmental,economic and social impacts.
A vendor was not identified in time to encumber the funds in 2002.
Building Inspectors Permit System Remote Access Project - $25,000. These funds were
appropriated from the Development Tracking System (DTS) equipment replacement reserves in
2002 to develop and implement systems to improve the building inspector's electronic access to DTS
information from the field. The project has been delayed due to difficulties encountered in
implementing other system upgrades in 2002.
Development Management System-$15,000. These funds were transferred from Current Planning
to the Development Tracking System in 2002 to be used in the creation and implementation of the
Development Management System and to provide assistance in data conversion. The Development
Management System is a database to record development review comments. The project was started
in 2002, but will continue into 2003. These funds need to be appropriated to continue the project.

needed for 2003 to operate and maintain the facility.This item reappropriates$49,176 that was set
aside pending the outcome of a CDOT audit. The funds will be used to operate and maintain the
facility.
Recycling Sustainability Inventory-$10,000. During the 2001 budget exception process,Council
approved$100,000 to be used for the proposed Recycling Center expansion at the landfill. Although
Latmer County postponed the construction of the Center's expansion,the City did provide$5,000
to support the Latimer County Natural Resources Department's development of a solid
waste/recycling education center at the landfill in 2002. Additionally, $40,000 was earmarked for
the Sustainability Inventory,and$45,000 was contributed to the Rivendell Recycling Center project
building fund. This item reappropriates the remaining balance of$10,000 which will be used for
further sustainability initiatives.
Clean Air Program-$17,524. The Natural Resources Department 2002 budget included an .5 FI'E
contractual Environmental Planner in the Clean Air Program, funded by the Utilities Department,
to support the City's Climate Protection Program. This item reappropriates the unspent balance,
resulting from an unexpected delay in hiring in 2002,to continue staffing the position through 2003.
Carbon Monoxide Monitoring Site - $5,126. During the 2001 budget exception process, Council
approved $12,000 one-time and $3,000 ongoing funds to be used for a second carbon monoxide
monitoring site. The monitoring equipment has been installed and the site is operational. This item
reappropriates the balance of$5,126 for the installation and ongoing operating expenses.

maintenance to the property.
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Project-$30,000. A Colorado Department of Transportation
audit of a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant, received by the Natural Resources
Department in 2001, resulted in a requirement that the Natural Resources Department implement
a corrective action plan titled the Route Optimization Project to comply with the audit agreement.
The project will be phased-in over two years, 2003 and 2004. The funds will be used to purchase
necessary software and/or hardware for the GIS-based technology, upgrades to computers, and
Global Positioning Systems. This item reappropriates Natural Resource appropriations designated
for the CDOT audit.
Climate Wise Program - $1,600. The Natural Resources Department has been operating the
Climate Wise program, a voluntary environmental business program, since 2000. This program
partners with local businesses to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Every year the City holds

Computers and Furniture-$11,000. In 2002, Natural Resources did not purchase four computers
($7,000)that were needed. Additionally,$4,000 that was earmarked to purchase office equipment
for two new employees was not spent. These funds were saved pending the results of a CDOT audit.
The audit results were received in early January and the full amount of appropriations set aside for
the CDOT audit is not needed. This item reappropriates$11,000 to purchase the needed computers
and furniture.
Central Workroom F4uipment-$7,176. In 2002,the Natural Resources Department reappropriated
funds budgeted in 2001 for the purchase of a work table,computer, scanner and color printer to set
up a central work room for the department. The space for the work room did not become available
until late 2002 when the maintenance crew moved to the Nix Maintenance Facility. This item
reappropriates the amount needed to purchase the equipment.
Financial/Grant Coordinator- $15,000. In 2002, the Natural Resources Department appropriated
$15,000 of one-time funding from incentive savings reserves to research potential grant
opportunities. Due to staffing constraints,this project was delayed. Approval was received in 2002
to use the funds, along with a combination of existing general funds and dedicated Natural Areas
funds, as the first year funding for a contractual Financial/Grant Coordinator position. This item
reappropriates the$15,000 for the Financial/Grant Coordinator contract.
Database Management Tools - $16,000. The Application Services Division requests a
reappropriation of $16,000 for a support contract for database management tools. Funds were
allocated in the 2002 budget from Information Technology equipment reserves for the one-time
purchase of these tools. An RFP process was used to select the tools, and the purchase was
completed in late 2002. However, no ongoing funds were approved to ensure continued vendor
support and upgrades. The installation of the system was delayed to 2003 because of other pressing
priority projects and a shortage of staff resources due to a vacant systems analyst position. The
appropriation of funds for maintenance will ensure continued vendor support, application upgrades
and fixes until the 2004 budget is in place.
Intranet Upgrade Project - $26,500. A reappropriation of $26,500 is requested to complete the
Intranet Upgrade Project. The project could not be completed in 2002 because of other project
priorities. A new server and other hardware have been purchased in preparation for the upgraded
system. The new requirements collected from various meetings with City departments indicate the
need for database applications on the Intranet. Consequently, software licenses must be purchased.
The following is a breakdown of the purchase: $15,000-Oracle licenses;$1,500-Advanced Server
Support Subscription (server operating system); and $10,000 - Oracle database software backup
system needed to provide system availability for both the Intranet and Internet servers on a 24 hours,
7 days a week basis.
Cable TV Studio - $216,681. Delays in the Cable TV studio remodeling project necessitate a re-
appropriation request in several areas. Bid and RFP prices for Phase II(remodeling existing space)
and Phase III (installing equipment, lighting grid, etc.) were over budget, causing the project to be
delayed until reductions could be identified. Cuts have been finalized,and a contract issued to begin
the final remodeling and construction activities. This funding for the Cable studio comes from the
following sources: an appropriation of $128,825 in 2002 from Cable equipment replacement
reserves, $56,681 lease/purchase proceeds, and about $31,000 included in Information Services
original 2002 budget. This reappropriation will be used for the following:

remaining equipment can be purchased. This portion of the equipment was not
ordered because of project delays. The equipment includes lighting grid,equipment
racks, and consoles.
$80,000. This item requests that $80,000 be reappropriated for the 2003 lease
purchase payments. The remaining lease purchase amounts will be requested during
the 2004/2005 budget process.
$50,000 was set aside in Information Technology's 2002 budget for the installation
of equipment in the studio and control room. Wiring, integration with existing
equipment is covered by this amount
$30,000. This amount is set aside for the project contingency should construction
problems occur outside the scope of the anticipated project. If the amount is not
needed for contingency,the funds will be used to complete the lighting portion of the
project (fixtures, curtains and other items needed for studio set).
Equipment Loan Pool-$400,000. 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 2002,was$400,000. This amount is requested for reappropriation to provide an equipment loan
pool for 2003.
Restorative Justice Youth Conferencing Program - $12,000. Municipal Court agreed to assist in
the support of the Restorative Justice Youth Conferencing (RJYC) Program again in 2003. The
Program offers an alternative to the traditional justice system by bringing together victims,offenders
and community members to heal the harms of crime. This is done through a conferencing process
and contract conditions. Municipal Court referred 62 juveniles and young adults through this
Program in 2002 for charges such as criminal mischief, trespassing, noise disturbance, disorderly
conduct and assault. Staff hopes to increase the number of referrals in 2003.
The majority of the cost to administer this Program is funded through a grant to Fort Collins Police
Services. The grant covers operating expenses and staff of 0.75 FTE. Additional funding in the
amount of$12,000 is needed to insure that the program continues at its current level of service with
staff of 1.00 FTE. Municipal Court requests that unexpended funds from 2002 be reappropriated
to support the RJYC Program in 2003.

program in 2003.
Museum Entrance Reorientation - $20,813. The Museum received contributions and donations in
2002 that were appropriated in the Museum budget in November 2002. The funds were designated
for improvements associated with the reorientation of the Museum's entrance. As the funding and
appropriation came late in 2002, the project was unable to be completed by year-end, and is
scheduled for completion in the summer of 2003. This item reappropriates $20,813 to be used to
complete the Museum improvements in 2003.
OPEN LANDS FUND
Natural Areas Acquisition Funds-$4,251,992. In 2002,the City received proceeds from the County
Help Preserve Open Space sales tax to be used for natural areas land acquisitions. These proceeds,
which have been appropriated, are recorded in the Open Lands Fund. Several anticipated
acquisitions did not close during 2002, however, staff is continuing to aggressively pursue land
acquisition and anticipates requiring these funds in 2003. This item reappropriates the remaining
balance of unspent appropriations, totaling$4,251,992,to be used for natural area land acquisition
and other purposes specified in the County's Help Preserve Open Spaces Initiative in 2003.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS:
LIGHT & POWER FUND
Dixon Creek Substation - $262,100. The Dixon Creek Substation construction is nearing
completion. This $262,100 reappropriation is needed for final site work and the installation of
remaining electrical equipment in the summer of 2003. This item reappropriates $262,100 of the
unused 2002 Dixon Creek Substation budget to cover the installation costs that will be incurred in
2003.
Station Additions - $228,700. This item appropriates $228,700 to recondition the 50 MVA
substation power transformer located at Overland Trail/Mulberry Substation. The renovated
transformer will be relocated to the new Dix Creek Substation. This work was not done in 2002
because it first required transferring the customer load from the Overland Substation to the Dixon
Creek Substation to allow the Overland transformer to be taken out of service for reconditioning.
The new Dixon Creek Substation will be energized in early 2003.
Harmony Station-$60,000. The electrical aspects of the Harmony Substation expansion project are
complete. This item reappropriates $60,000 for modification of the oil containment system and
gravel surfacing which will be completed following the installation of three substation capacitor
buildings.
Major Duct Banks and Circuits - $575,000. Two projects were not completed in 2002. The first
project is to install two new circuits along South Taft Hill Road in a newly constructed ductbank.
The second is to install new circuits along Drake from Taft Hill Road to Overland Trail. This will
allow for the transfer of load from the heavily loaded Drake Substation to the newly constructed
Dixon Creek Substation. The two projects combined are estimated at $575,000. They were not
completed in 2002 due to the workload on crews and project engineers.

Automated Distribution and Load Control-$37,800. This item reappropriates$37,800 to upgrade
the SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)equipment in order to monitor new on-site
generation by a commercial customer and for other Utilities monitoring processes. This upgrade
could not be completed in 2002 due to the customer's equipment installation schedule. The
commercial customer will reimburse the cost of the upgrade related to the on-site generation
modeling.
Eastside Substation - $604,600. Light and Power was unable to secure a site for a northeast
substation in 2002. Land availability is limited,due in part to increased residential development in
areas surrounding the proposed substation. Forecasting city load growth has also slowed as planners
continue to review the future GMA boundaries as part of the City Plan update. Still, believes it is
necessary to plan for long-term load growth in the northeast section of Fort Collins, and obtaining
a future substation site is a critical part of this planning effort. Reappropriating the $604,600 will
allow for purchasing a suitable tract of land and initial prep. work.
General Plant Additions-$600,000. The service center warehouse yard project was started in 2002
but will not be completed until 2003. In addition, the Utilities' training room is being enlarged to
meet the fire code room occupation requirements. The$600,000 reappropriation request is needed
for project management,change orders and contingencies related to the warehouse yard and training
room projects.
