SUBJECT
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 126, 2016, Being the Annual Appropriation Ordinance Relating to the
Annual Appropriations for the Fiscal Year 2017; Adopting the Budget for the Fiscal Years Beginning January 1,
2017, and Ending December 31, 2018; and Fixing the Mill Levy for the Fiscal Year 2017. (Option 1 or Option 2)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 1, 2016, sets the City Budget for the
two-year period (2017-18) which becomes the City’s financial plan for the next two fiscal years. As requested,
two options are being brought forth for Second Reading. Option 1 is the Ordinance as adopted on First
Reading, including the amendment to not fund Side Hill Park. That Ordinance sets the amount of
$611,024,736 to be appropriated for fiscal year 2017. Option 2 is the Ordinance referenced in Option 1 along
with: (1) unfunding Offer 5.26 - CAP ENHANCEMENT - Utilities: Light & Power - Electric Distributed Battery
Pilot Program, and (2) funding Offer 7.19 - ENHANCEMENT - 1.0 FTE Utilities: Customer Service &
Administration - Program Coordinator Supervisor. The Option 2 Ordinance would set the amount of
$611,085,496 to be appropriated for fiscal year 2017.
However, these appropriated amounts do not include what is being appropriated by separate Council actions
to adopt the 2017 budget for the General Improvement District (GID) No. 1 of $68,107, the 2017 budget for
General Improvement District (GID) No. 15 (Skyview) of $1,000, the Urban Renewal Authority 2017 budget of
$8,328,759, and the Downtown Development Authority 2017 budget of $9,888,727. This Ordinance also sets
the 2017 City mill levy at 9.797 mills, unchanged since 1991.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
For the seventh 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 2017-18 City Manager’s Recommended Budget was delivered to Council on September 1. 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 2016 Strategic Plan.
City Council reviewed the Recommended Budget during three 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 First Reading of the 2017-18 Biennial Budget. The following
table summarizes the Offers not originally included in the Recommended Budget.

Agenda Item 12
Item # 12 Page 2
The Utility rate increases in the original City Manager’s Recommended Budget are included, as proposed, in
First Reading of the 2017-18 Budget as follows:
Utility 2017 2018
Electric 3.45% 1.8%
Water 5.00% 5.0%
Wastewater 3.00% 3.0%
Stormwater 5.00% -
Staff is prepared to discuss reduced increases of 3% for both Water and Stormwater rates.
This annual Appropriation Ordinance sets the amount of $612,825,136 to be appropriated for fiscal year 2017.
It does not include the 2017 adopted budgets for the General Improvement District (GID) No. 1 of $68,107, the
General Improvement District (GID) No. 15 (Skyview) of $1,000, and the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) of
$8,328,759. This results in the City’s total operating appropriations being $621,223.002 in 2017. Below is a
summary of the City’s proposed 2017-18 total operating budget:
TOTAL BUDGET (in millions)
2017 2018
Operating $541.4 $547.9
Debt $24.5 $21.8
Capital $55.3 $45.9
Total City Appropriations* $621.2 $615.6

the budget development, there were two citizens on each of the seven BFO Teams; as well as significant
public outreach conducted to gather citizen feedback from a broad demographic of the community. That latter
effort included eight events, reaching 205 people across the community. Additional input was obtained from
