FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL DATE: February 6, 2001
STAFF: Alan Krcmarik
SUBJECT:
First Reading of Ordinance No. 19, 2001, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Unanticipated
Revenue in the Downtown Development Authority Operations and Maintenance Fund for
Maintenance and Repair of the Old Town Square.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This appropriation increases the 2001 annual appropriation for the DDA Operations and
Maintenance Fund by $6,551. In 2000, the City Manager approved a transfer of $6,551 from
the City's General Fund into that Fund. The Fund did not have sufficient appropriations to
expend the money for the intended purpose that was provided in the maintenance agreement
dated August 14, 2000. In addition to the $6,551 for the year 2000, this appropriation ordinance
includes a $12,500 appropriation from the DDA Operations and Maintenance Fund. This
amount will be funded from 2001 transfer from the General Fund.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This Ordinance appropriates $6,551 of prior year reserves and $12,500 of unanticipated revenue
for the year 2001. The source of these monies is transfers from the City's General Fund.
In 1993, representatives of Progressive Old Town Square Limited Liability Company, owner of
several parcels of land in the downtown area of Fort Collins, entered into an agreement to
maintain, repair and replace, certain improvements in the downtown area owned by the
Downtown Development Authority (DDA). Over the years, the annual cost of the maintenance
and repair increased and the Company requested the City of Fort Collins and the DDA assist in
the funding of the maintenance and capital improvements. In August of 2000, the Company,
DDA, and the City reached a cost sharing agreement. Under this agreement, the DDA agreed to
match (50% Owner-50% DDA) up to $12,500 of enhanced capital improvements and $12,500 of
enhanced maintenance each year. The City agreed to designate $12,500 per year to reimburse
funds spent by the Company according to the approved Enhanced Maintenance Plan. In 2000,
the Owner spent $13,100 on Enhanced Maintenance. The City transferred $6,551 to the DDA
Operations and Maintenance Fund. The Fund did not have sufficient appropriations to be used
in 2000. Under the agreement, the monies are carried forward and may be spent when an
appropriation is made. In 2001, the City and DDA expect that more maintenance and
improvements will be completed by the owner and will be eligible for reimbursement. The
