AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
FORT COLLINS CITY COUNCIL 21
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 112, 2012, Being the Annual Appropriation Ordinance Relating to the Annual
Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2013; Adopting the Budget for the Fiscal Years Beginning January 1, 2013, and
Ending December 31, 2014; and Fixing the Mill Levy for the Fiscal Year 2013.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Annual Appropriation Ordinance is presented for First Reading. This Ordinance sets the City Budget for the two-
year period (2013–14) which becomes the City’s financial plan for the next two fiscal years. This Ordinance sets the
amount of $483,445,062 to be appropriated for fiscal year 2013. Including the 2013 adopted budgets for the General
Improvement District (GID) No. 1 of $193,666 and the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) of $1,038,682 the total City
operated appropriations amount to $484,677,410.
This Ordinance also sets the 2012 City mill levy at 9.797 mills, unchanged since 1991.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
For the fifth time the City has used a budgeting process called Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO). This process is a
recommended best practice by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). It is a systematic process
driven by goals and performance, to provide information that relates budgeting to planning and results. Its purpose
is to better align the services delivered by the City with the things that are most important to the community.
The 2013-14 City Manager’s Recommended Budget was delivered to Council in August. The Recommended Budget
strengthens key services related to transportation, police, fire, parks and recreation and other community priorities
such as the environment, economic development and social sustainability, delivering on the commitment made to
voters who approved the Keep Fort Collins Great sales tax increase in 2010. The budget also and makes smart, long-
term investments in the future, with investments in the Poudre River, North College, and FortZED.
City Council reviewed the Recommended Budget during four Council Work Sessions. In addition, citizens have been
able to provide input to Councilmembers through two public hearings and an online feedback tool. From these
discussions and additional information provided by staff, City Council has provided direction and guidance for changes
to be incorporated into 1st reading of the 2013-14 Biennial Budget. The following table summarizes the Offers not
originally included in the Recommended Budget.

To fund these Offers requires a combination of funding sources. The first prudent place to evaluate is Offers that have
a lower priority and, thus, should not be funded or can have their amounts reduced. The table below lists Offers that
were eliminated or modified.
The gap between Offers funded per Council direction and Offers eliminated or modified is addressed by other funding
sources. As the table below indicates, the gap was addressed by utilizing funds available in the Sales and Use (S&U)
Tax reserves, increasing the Sales Tax forecast from 2.20% and 2.05% to 2.70% and 2.55% for 2013 and 2014
respectively, increasing the Use Tax forecasts by $500K in each year of the budget, and utilizing General Fund
reserves. Of the available $6.5M Sales and Use Tax reserve being transferred to the General Fund via the annual
Clean-up Ordinance, only $700K has been used in this budget. The increase of both the Sales and Use Tax forecasts
is based on the strong results we continue to see through the end of the third quarter of 2012 and the anticipation of
slightly higher growth rates in 2013 and 2014. Lastly, the use of General Fund reserves comes from anticipated
contribution to General Fund balance based upon actual 2012 revenue results greater than forecast.
The combination of the above table results in the following summarized changes between the recommended budget
and the amounts included in First Reading of the 2013-14 Biennial Budget. Additionally, in final preparation it was
determined that the Benefits Programs and Services Offer was originally overstated and indicated a use of Benefit fund
reserves greater than actually required. This has been recalculated and the significantly reduced expense is reflected
in the summary table below. The $1.2 million will remain in the Benefits fund reserves and has no impact on services
or other Offers.

whereby citizens could vote for the Offers for programs and services most important to them. The data from the online
tool was presented to Council for their review. Additionally, during the budget development there was a citizen on each
