DATE: June 19, 2001
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL Frank Bruno
FROM: Jim O'Neill
SUBJECT:
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 105, 2001, Authorizing the Sublease of a Portion of the
Environmental Learning CenterNisitor's Center/Welcome Center at 3545 East Prospect Road by
the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement with Colorado State University for the
Environmental Learning CenterNisitor's Center/Welcome Center in August 1999(the"IGA"). This
agreement allows the City to sublease space in the facility to an outside entity to conduct visitor
services at the Center,so long as the sublease incorporates the terms of the IGA. This sublease will
provide for use of this space by the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau ("CVB").
Ordinance No. 105, 2001, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on June 5, 2001.
The Ordinance has been amended on Second Reading, so that it includes under the sublease the
entire property available to the City under the IGA,rather than just the portion to be used by CVB
as office space. A determination that the CVB uses the entire space in an integrated manner was
made too late to modify the Ordinance on First Reading. Also,because the IGA calls for the use of
a sublease to allow CVB to use the facility,the inclusion of the entire space,even that used directly
by CVB as the Visitor's Center/Welcome Center, will track the terms of the IGA more closely.
