EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this item is to present the Annual Appropriation Ordinance for First Reading. This Ordinance sets the City Budget for the two-year period (2015–16) which becomes the City’s financial plan for the next two fiscal years. This Ordinance sets the amount of $552,694,350 to be appropriated for fiscal year 2015. Including the 2015 adopted budgets for the General Improvement District (GID) #1 of $1,193,565 and General Improvement District (GID) #15 (Skyview) of $1,000 as well as the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) of $2,408,457 the total City operated appropriations amount to $556,297,372. This Ordinance also sets the 2015 City mill levy at 9.797 mills, unchanged since 1991. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of this Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION For the sixth 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 2015-16 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 reflects community needs and council priorities as identified in the 2014 Strategic Plan. 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. 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 2015-16 Biennial Budget. The following table summarizes the Offers not originally included in the Recommended Budget.

The first prudent place to evaluate is Offers that have a lower priority from Council’s perspective and, thus, should not be funded or should have the amount reduced. The table below lists Offers that were eliminated or modified. Eliminations and Modifications 2015 Amount 2016 Amount Offers Unfunded per Council Direction - 46.3 Economic Health Reserve Fund $ (50) $ (50) - 106.2 USA Pro Cycling Challenge (50) - Offers Reduced per Council Direction 17.1 - Green Street Implementation: Remington Greenway Extension (180) (500) 8.1: Paved Recreational Trail Development (95) (30) 46.17 - Fort Collins Public Access Network Expanded Support (10) (10) 47.9 - Municipal Sustainability Projects - Green to Gold (80) (30) 2.18 - Bicycle Infrastructure Investments (45) (45) 53.2: KFCG ENHANCEMENT: Telling Our Stories Strategic Video (100) (96) 63.6: ENHANCEMENT: On-Street Pay Parking 50 (750) Total Eliminations and Modifications $ (560) $ (1,511) Note: $ in thousands 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 through increased use of General Fund one-time revenue, reserves, increased 2015-16 Sales Tax projections, and a small amount of other funding. The increase of the Sales Tax forecast is based on the strong results we continue to see through the end of the third quarter of 2014 and the increased base upon which the 2015 and 2016 forecasts are based. Some of the Offers, either unfunded or modified, offset the need for additional funding.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS The Budget contains multiple offers that will have positive environmental impacts, particularly those funded by the Environmental Health Result Area. PUBLIC OUTREACH In preparation for First Reading of the 2015-16 Budget, City Council held two public hearings. Additionally, during the budget development, there were 2 citizens on each BFO Teams; as well as significant public outreach conducted to gather citizen feedback from a broad demographic of our community. During a 6-week period, over 20 community events or meetings were conducted at locations across the City. Additional input was obtained from online tools. All data was then shared with the BFO Teams to assist with their evaluation of Offers. ATTACHMENTS 1.

As you know, a lot of positive things have happened to the economy since the 2013-2014 budget cycle was approved, and we are so happy to see that City is finally in a position to have a little more money in the coffers to work with. We at the AHB are happy to see that the Council will be considering increasing the AHF by $200,000 for both 2015 and 2016, and we would like to whole heartedly support the inclusion of this item in the current budget cycle. We do, however, want to take this opportunity to suggest that as the City’s financial picture continues to improve, that Council might be well served to strive toward the goal of substantially increasing the City’s contribution to the AHF in the very near future. Furthermore, the AHB would like to suggest , that because the Fort Collins citizens identified affordable housing as their most critical issue in the 2013 Citizen Survey, we would like to encourage the Council to consider adopting a goal to meet and even exceed the 2002 level of AHF funding as soon as possible. Additionally, the Affordable Housing Board acknowledges the important work of the Social Sustainability Department and supports their on-going budget offer for current programs and services, item 48.1. Thank you for your consideration on these items. Sincerely, Troy W. Jones 1 Environmental Services 215 North Mason PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80522 970.221.6600 970.224.6177 Fax fcgov.com/environmental services MEMORANDUM DATE: July 30, 2014 TO: Budget Lead Team CC: Lawrence Pollack, Budget and Performance Measurement Manager Michael Beckstead, Chief Financial Officer Ross Cunniff, Council Liaison to AQAB FROM: Tom Moore, Chair Air Quality Advisory Board RE: 2015-2016 BFO Process and Proposed Offers The Air Quality Advisory Board (AQAB) welcomes the opportunity provided by the City Council to provide input to the Budget Lead Team and inform the development of the 2015-16 budget that the Team will propose to the Council. At our July 21, 2014 meeting, the AQAB reviewed the budget enhancement offers that we felt were the most likely offers to have an impact on air quality. The AQAB subsequently voted 6 to 0 to approve this memorandum to identify priority offers which we recommend the Budget Lead Team address and include as it develops a proposed budget. To begin with, the AQAB believes that the entire budgeting process – and not just the review of specific budget enhancement offers – should proceed with an eye toward serious, ongoing air quality issues that substantially impact the health, economic well-being, and quality of life of Fort Collins residents, businesses, and visitors. The AQAB is concerned that air quality in Colorado’s northern Front Range, including in the City of Fort Collins, currently fails to meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In particular, air quality monitors within the City limits continue to register “exceedances” of the 75 parts per billion (ppb) NAAQS for ozone pollution (aka “smog”). Although we believe City leaders are well aware of our city’s current “nonattainment” status for ozone pollution, they may not be aware that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is under a court order to decide by December 1, 2014 whether to propose revisions to the Ozone NAAQS. EPA’s decision will be informed by the findings of an independent Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC). On June 26, 2014, CASAC sent a letter to the EPA Administrator advising EPA that, “based on the scientific evidence, a level of 70 ppb provides little margin of safety for the protection of public health... Thus, our policy advice is to set the level of the standard lower than 70 ppb within a range down to 60 ppb.” 2 The AQAB recognizes that ozone pollution is a regional problem that is not entirely caused by, and cannot be completely solved by, activities that occur in Fort Collins. However, given the strong evidence that the ozone standard which our City already exceeds is not protecting public health with an adequate margin of safety, and the distinct possibility that federal regulatory requirements may be made even more stringent in the future, the AQAB feels that the City of Fort Collins should refrain to the greatest possible extent from including in its budget any public investments or expenditures that will directly or indirectly increase air pollution, particularly the types of pollution that contribute to smog (e.g., motor vehicle emissions). We recommend that the City enhance its investments in infrastructure and programs that directly or indirectly reduce air pollution. Foremost among those investments should be those that reduce emissions from the City’s own infrastructure projects, equipment, and operations. We can’t control everything, but it makes sense to control what we can. In particular, transportation- related actions which lead to fewer and cleaner motor vehicle trips will reduce ozone-forming emissions and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The AQAB also wishes to express a strong preference for direct action over additional planning activities. With those over-arching recommendations in mind, the AQAB offers its support for the following budget offers (sorted by offer #, not priority): • (8.1) Paved Recreational Trail Development: These trails encourage greater use of bicycles as a transportation alternative and thus reduce emissions. It will also enable travel that exposes riders to less vehicle exhaust. • (17.1) KFCG Green Street Implementation Project: The AQAB feels that the value of this approach is as yet unproven but is worthy of testing/demonstrating. If successful, it will encourage greater use of bicycles as a transportation alternative to vehicles and thus reduce emissions. • (25.1) Alleys Improvement Program: This program would directly reduce fugitive dust emissions in densely developed neighborhoods. • (47.4) Healthy Sustainable Homes Program Expansion: This program is a proven success and directly addresses indoor air quality, which can have even greater impacts on public health than outdoor air quality. • (47.11) Air Quality Program Support: The AQAB has first-hand experience with the unforeseeable nature of air quality programs and appreciates the need for City staff to have more resources at their disposal to address urgent, unforeseen air quality issues without detracting from important planned and ongoing work. • (47.13) KFCG Municipal Energy Efficiency Fund: The AQAB feels that this program is especially important because it can directly reduce emissions from buildings (mostly due to natural gas space heating), indirectly reduce power plant emissions by reducing electricity demand, and do so in a way that reduces the long term energy bills for City operations. 3 • (47.16) Regional Air Quality Council: Fort Collins needs to be part of regional air quality discussions. This is the forum for those discussions and we need to fund this to have a seat at the table. • (59.2) Utilities Community Renewables: This is another example of our preference for action over planning. This offer would accelerate the deployment of renewables that can indirectly reduce emissions from regional fossil fuel power plants. • (63.6) 1.0 FTE - Program Manager, On-Street Pay Parking: The AQAB feels that parking in congested parts of the City is provided as a public service but it should be paid for by users. Free parking encourages the use of vehicles for short trips that could be taken via alternative, less polluting modes of transportation. • (141.1) Transportation Air Quality Impacts Guidance Manual: This has been a high priority for the AQAB for some time. When our Board hears presentations about transportation projects, the presenters are invariably unable to discuss the expected air quality impacts in anything other than vague, qualitative terms. We believe it is essential for City staff to develop the ability to assess transportation air quality impacts in a more rigorous and (ideally) quantitative way. The items listed above were identified by the AQAB as high priority items. The Board at this time is not taking a position in support or opposition to any other budget offers. If you have any questions concerning the AQAB’s recommendations, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 970.988.4055 or tmoore@westar.org. We appreciate the opportunity from the Council to provide input to the Budget Lead Team input and look forward to continued public discussion of the City’s budget and priorities. 4 5 6 Agenda Item #1 7 8 9 The Natural Resources Advisory Board has discussed the preliminary proposals that have been submitted to the Budgeting for Outcomes process and would like to endorse the following offers: 148.2 NISP Analysis 148.4 In-stream Flow Specialist 21.1 Downtown Poudre Project 47.8 Integrated Pest Manager 47.5 Phase 2 of Integrated Recycling Facility 47.6 Regional Organics Transfer Station 47.7 Zero Waste Planning Staff 148.1 Poudre River Restoration 22.1 Trees Along Paved Recreation Trails 47.2 Climate Adaptation Planning 120.1 Sustainable Theatrical Lighting 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 !

Sincerely, Michael Short Executive Director Downtown Fort Collins Business Association -- Michael Short Downtown Fort Collins Business Association 19 Old Town Square Suite 230 Fort Collins, Colorado 80524 Phone (970)484-6500 Direct (970)419-4384 36 37 38 Old Town North HOA Board 749 Jerome Street Fort Collins, CO 80524 970-482-1014 August 15, 2014 Dear Mr. Overbeck, Madame Mayor, and Fellow City Council Members, We represent the community of Old Town North Homeowners Association, and are writing in support of the current Draft Plan for significant improvements along the Poudre River. Of particular interest to us is the section closest to our neighborhood, Reach 3 of the Draft Plan. We feel these improvements would have a major, positive impact and broad benefit to the city, the downtown area, and the residents in our area’s new and old neighborhoods. We would like to encourage the initiation of Reach 3’s first stage, the removal of the Coy Ditch diversion, narrowing and deepening the channel, as well as providing improved access to the water. These improvements will reinforce the North College Sub Area Plan by softening the perceived barrier between Old Town and the North College Area. These improvements would have the added benefit of providing flood mitigation for the area. Thankfully, our homes have survived the recent Poudre River flooding in part due to the city’s $10 million investment in the Dry Creek Drainage Improvement project. We see the proposed improvements for Reach 3 (and 4) as a continuation of the 2004 vision that spurred that investment. With the flood mitigation, the vision for an urban river park east of College between Vine and the river has potential to be realized. We understand the business owners along this reach would be willing to relocate, provided they are given alternate facilities, as the city has suggested. These river improvements would have a significant impact on commercial and residential development in the blighted North College Area. Since Old Town North’s original developer’s bankruptcy, primarily two new developers are purchasing and building on the properties in the neighborhood. FR plans to build out most of the single-family residential lots by 2015. RMH has acquired most of the commercial property and several residential lots. RMH is considering expanding commercial acquisitions beyond the property, west to College, so they 39 can develop a compatible commercial “front door” to Old Town North. The vision includes denser commercial along College and mixed use (similar to Penny Flats) along the new east/west streets as proposed in the city’s subarea plan that would connect our neighborhood to College Avenue. We are optimistic that the Reach 3 river improvements will further motivate developers to invest in North College, accelerating it’s transformation into a destination community near downtown. Lastly, the pedestrian bridge in Reach 3 would provide an important link to the Poudre trail for all the north Fort Collins bike commuters and would further support north Fort Collins development. Thank you for your time. Please let us know if we can do anything to help promote the initiation of renovations to the river, especially in Reach 3. Sincerely, OTN Homeowners Association Board of Directors Jim Beal Christine Dianni Michael Bello David Jones Todd Parker Andrew Rauch 40 - 1 - ORDINANCE NO. 153, 2014 OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS BEING THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE RELATING TO 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 2015 WHEREAS, the City Manager has, prior to the first Monday in September, 2014, submitted to the City Council a proposed budget for the next ensuing budget term, along with an explanatory and complete financial plan for each fund of the City, pursuant to the provisions of Article V, Section 2, of the City Charter; and WHEREAS, within ten days after the filing of said budget estimate, the City Council set September 23rd and October 7th, 2014, as the dates for the public hearings thereon and caused notice of such public hearings to be given by publication pursuant to Article V, Section 3, of the City Charter; and WHEREAS, the public hearings were held on those dates and persons were given the opportunity to appear and object to any or all items and estimates in the proposed budget; and WHEREAS, Article V, Section 4, of the City Charter requires that, before the last day of November of each fiscal year, the City Council adopt the budget for the ensuing term by ordinance and appropriate such sums of money as the Council deems necessary to defray all expenditures of the City during the ensuing fiscal year; and WHEREAS, Article V, Section 5, of the City Charter provides that the annual appropriation ordinance shall also fix the tax levy upon each dollar of the assessed valuation of all taxable property within the City, such levy representing the amount of taxes for City purposes necessary to provide for payment during the ensuing fiscal year for all properly authorized expenditures to be incurred by the City; and WHEREAS, Article XII, Section 6, of the City Charter permits the City Council to fix, establish, maintain, and provide for the collection of such rates, fees, or charges for water and electricity, and for other utility services furnished by the City as will produce revenues sufficient to pay into the General Fund in lieu of taxes on account of the City-owned utilities such amount as may be established by City Council.
