the Annual Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2015; Adopting the Budget for the Fiscal Years
Beginning January 1, 2015, and Ending December 31, 2016; and Fixing the Mill levy for Fiscal year

minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to present the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for Second Reading. This
Ordinance sets the City Budget for the two-year period (2015-16) which becomes the City’s financial

Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver to the federal train horn noise rule for downtown Fort
Collins. The waiver would include several proposed City actions in order to have trains stop blowing
horns, except in emergency situations, when traveling from Laurel Street to College Avenue along

Mason Street. If Council approves, a waiver will be drafted pursuant to FRA regulations and

19. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 163, 2014, Amending the Land Use Code to Address Parking
Issues Related to the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Overlay Zone. (staff: Seth Lorson,
Laurie Kadrich, Cameron Gloss; 2 minute staff presentation; 20 minute discussion)
This Ordinance, adopted on First Reading on November 4, 2014, by a vote of 4-3 (Nays: Cunniff,
Overbeck, Poppaw) amends the Land Use Code to revise residential and commercial off-street
parking requirements as recommended by the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Parking Study,
also adopted on November 4.
20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 136, 2014, Amending Chapter 26 of the City Code Regarding
Calculation and Collection of Development Fees Imposed for the Construction of New or Modified
Electric Service Connections. (Option A or B) (staff: Steve Catanach, Lance Smith, Janet
McTague; 5 minute staff presentation; 10 minute discussion)
The purpose of this item is to revise (Option A) or clarify (Option B) the City Code provisions relating
to Electric Development Fees, in particular, Electric Capacity Fee Charges. The Ordinances clarify
that the fees due are based on the rates effective on the date of final payment, but Council is
presented with two options on how the fees are to be collected.
Option A: Option A is a timing change from current Code requirements. This option requires
that 100% of the Electric Capacity Fee (ECF) be payable prior to the Utility initiating construction
of the electric distribution system. Rates in effect at the time of payment would apply. Currently,
only 50% of the fee is payable prior to construction with the remainder due prior to the electric
system being energized. Option A also addresses how invoices issued prior to the adoption of
this ordinance would be addressed.
Option B: Option B does not change the timing of current Code requirements. It requires at
least 50% of the Electric Capacity Fee (ECF) to be paid as a deposit prior to the Utility initiating
construction of the electric distribution system. The remaining ECF (final payment) would be due
prior to the system being energized. Rates in effect at the time of final payment would apply to
the entire development. Because Option B is not a change from current practice or intent of the
current code, it would apply to all invoices issued before or after the adoption.
No changes to the Electric Development Fee amounts are proposed as part of this ordinance. The
ordinance changes the verbiage only. 2015 Electric Development Fee rate amounts are being
adjusted in Ordinance No. 155, 2014 which was approved on first reading on October 21, 2014 and
is scheduled for second reading on November 18, 2014.
21. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 2014, Revising Chapter 26 of the City Code Regarding
Payments in Lieu of Taxes and Franchise Fees, and Specifying that the Operation and Maintenance
of the Street Lighting System is an In Kind Payment by the Light & Power Fund in Lieu of Taxes and
Franchise Fees. (staff: Lance Smith, Ellen Switzer, Kevin Gertig; no staff presentation; 5 minute
discussion)
Staff is requesting postponement of Second Reading of this Ordinance to December 16, 2014 to
permit time for staff to meet with the Council Finance Committee on November 17 to discuss the
financial implications of modifying City Code as passed on First Reading of this Ordinance as
compared to other alternatives.
This Ordinance, adopted on First Reading on October 28, 2014 by a vote of 4-2 (Nays: Cunniff,
Overbeck), codifies the longstanding City policy and practice whereby the Light & Power Fund has
been responsible for providing municipal street lighting as an in-kind payment to the General Fund
as part of the Electric Utility’s payment in lieu of taxes and franchise fees. The Ordinance also
revises the language related to the Water and Wastewater Funds’ required 6% payment to the
General Fund to clarify that this is a payment in lieu of taxes and franchise fees (as opposed to just
City of Fort Collins Page 8
a payment in lieu of taxes). This change is consistent with Article V, Section 23 of the City Charter
and with the wording used in City Code to reference the same fee paid by the Light & Power Fund.
