Second Reading of Ordinance No. 096, 2016, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund and in the Light and Power Fund for Continuation of Energy Efficiency Initiatives Associated with the 2020 Climate Action Plan (CAP) Strategic Plan and Rescinding Ordinance No. 081, 2016. (staff: John Phelan, Kevin Gertig; no staff presentation; 10 minute discussion) This Ordinance, adopted on First Reading by a vote of 4-2 (Nays: Campana, Martinez; Overbeck absent) rescinds Ordinance No. 081, 2016 (Adopted on July 19, 2016) and amends the $1,460,000 appropriated by Ordinance No. 081, 2016; appropriating from the General Fund $730,000, and $730,000 from the Electric Utility Light & Power fund, for continuation of energy efficiency programs in 2016, as outlined in the draft 2020 Climate Action Plan (CAP) Strategic Plan. Ordinance No. 081, 2016 will become effective as originally adopted and shall provide funding until this Ordinance becomes effective, i.e., funding for the Energy Efficiency Programs up to $730,000 will not be further delayed pending Second Reading of this Ordinance. 26. First Reading of Ordinance No. 104, 2016, Making Certain Amendments to Chapter 26 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Pertaining to Electric, Water and Wastewater Rates, Fees and Charges Associated with the Income Qualified Rate Pilot Study. (staff: Lisa Rosintoski, Randy Reuscher; 10 minute staff presentation; 30 minute discussion) The purpose of this item is to seek adoption of an ordinance implementing a two year Income- Qualified Rate (IQR) pilot study, effective January 1, 2017. IQR is a discount rate structure for qualified low-income households for electric, water, and wastewater utility services. The rate is designed to increase the adoption of efficiency and resource conservation practices by providing affordable utility services to income-qualified customers. In order to manage IQR administrative costs effectively and provide a convenient and accessible application process, staff recommends partnering with the state sponsored Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), locally administered by Larimer County Department of Human Services, to qualify customers for IQR. Using LEAP to qualify customers for the IQR will also increase the number of local locations at which customers may apply for assistance, from one to four. Staff has determined that adequate utility enterprise fund reserves are available to offset the revenue impact of the proposed IQR discounts during the 2017-2018 two-year pilot study, at an estimated total cost of $2,544,145 based on a 65% enrollment rate, thus no 2017 or 2018 rate increases related to IQR are proposed. If adopted, the pilot study will occur between 2017 through end of year 2018. Staff will provide City Council with a one-year evaluation memorandum in the first quarter of 2018, and a two-year evaluation in the first quarter of 2019, in order to assess the impact of the IQR, the efficacy of the IQR in serving the energy and resource conservation purposes, and determine whether the IQR should be continued. If after the pilot study, it is determined the IQR effectively serves its intended resource conservation and utility affordability purposes, staff propose adjusting rates across all classes to continually fund the IQR.  CONSIDERATION OF CITIZEN-PULLED CONSENT ITEMS City of Fort Collins Page 9  OTHER BUSINESS A. Possible consideration of the initiation of new ordinances and/or resolutions by Councilmembers (Three or more individual Councilmembers may direct the City Manager and City Attorney to initiate and move forward with development and preparation of resolutions and ordinances not originating from the Council's Policy Agenda or initiated by staff.)  ADJOURNMENT A.
