City of Fort Collins Page 3 1. Items Relating to Capital Improvement Expansion Fees. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 132, 2016, Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Increase the Amounts of Capital Improvement Expansion Fees Contained in Chapter 7.5 of the City Code so as to Reflect Inflation in Associated Costs of Services. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 137, 2016, Amending Section 7.5-18 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Provide that the Street Oversizing Capital Improvement Expansion Fee will be Increased or Decreased Annually Based on the Engineering News Denver Regional Construction Cost Index Instead of the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers. These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 6, 2016, update City Code Chapter 7.5 related to the annual inflation increases in the capital improvement expansion fees and the Neighborhood Parkland Fee established in Chapter 7.5. Ordinance No. 132, 2016, revises the Community Parkland, Police, Fire Protection, General Government capital improvement expansion fees and the Neighborhood Parkland Fee to reflect a 3.0% increase based on the change in the Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index (CPI) since the last adjustment. The Street Oversizing Capital Improvement Expansion Fee is increased by 1.3% to reflect the change in the Engineering News Record Denver Regional Construction Cost Index (ENR) since the last adjustment of this fee. For Second Reading, language has been added to this Ordinance to reflect that the new fees will not apply to applications for development for which a complete application for a building permit has been submitted prior to January 1, 2017, even if the permit is issued on or after January 1, 2017. This is to accommodate applications currently in the cue in the Building Department but for which a permit will not be issued until after the new fees are in place. Ordinance No. 137, 2016, amends Code Section 7.5-18 to reflect the City Council’s past practice and intended future practice of basing the annual increases or decreases in the Street Oversizing Capital Improvement Expansion Fee on the ENR instead of the CPI, since the ENR is a better measure than the CPI of the changes in costs to construct street improvements in the City. 2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 133, 2016, Adopting the 2017 Classified Employees Pay Plan. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 6, 2016, amends the City's Classified Employee Pay Plan based on results of the annual market analysis. The City of Fort Collins utilizes a common compensation methodology to assess jobs, combine them into occupational groups and establish pay range structures. The result of this work is a Classified Employee Pay Plan which sets the minimum, midpoint and maximum of pay ranges within each occupational group. Each year, staff conducts a detailed analysis of benchmark data to determine if the market is moving sufficiently to recommend structure adjustments. Actual employee pay increases are awarded through a separate administrative process in accordance with the budgeted amount approved by Council. As a result of the market analysis, staff is recommending a 2.5% structure adjustment for all Skill Based/Step Level Jobs in the Classified Employee Pay Plan and no movement for Open Pay Range positions. 3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 134, 2016, Amending Section 2-606 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins and Setting the Compensation of the Municipal Judge. City Council met in executive session on November 29, 2016, to conduct the performance review of Municipal Judge Kathleen Lane. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 6, 2016, establishes the 2017 salary of the Municipal Judge at $117,152 and total compensation at $144,568. The effective date of the salary change has been revised to January 2 instead of January 1, as this is the first day of the first pay period of the new year. City of Fort Collins Page 4 4.

The effective date of the salary change has been revised to January 2 instead of January 1, as this is the first day of the first pay period of the new year. 5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 136, 2016. Amending Section 2-596 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins and Setting the Compensation of the City Manager. City Council met in executive session on November 29, 2016, to conduct the performance review of City Manager Darin Atteberry.

Resolution 2016-089 Stating the Intent of the City of Fort Collins to Annex Certain Property and Initiating Enclave Annexation Proceedings for Such Property to be Known as the Rennat Annexation. This is a City-initiated request to annex 57.83 acres at 6015 South Timberline Road into the City of Fort Collins. The parcel became an enclave with the annexation of the Hansen Farm Annex on May 21, 2013. As of May 21, 2016, the City is authorized to annex the enclave in accordance with State Statute 31-12-106. The Rennat Annexation is situated between the Union Pacific Railroad/Southridge Golf Course to the west and S Timberline Road to the east. The requested zoning for this annexation is Low Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood (LMN), Medium Density Mixed- Use Neighborhood (MMN) and Neighborhood Commercial (NC), which is consistent with the City of Fort Collins Structure Plan. The surrounding properties are residential, educational, and agricultural land uses. The property owner has expressed no objections to the annexation. The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the property at issue has been completely contained within the boundaries of the City for not less than three years, initiates annexation proceedings, sets a hearing date for the annexation ordinance and directs the City Clerk to publish notice. The hearing will be held at the time of first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances; not less than thirty days of prior notice is required by state law. 12.

The purpose of this item is to seek City Council approval of the Charter of the Regional Water Collaboration Steering Committee, as proposed by the Regional Water Collaboration Steering Committee (the Steering Committee). The Steering Committee is composed of members of governing boards and staff of Fort Collins Utilities, East Larimer County Water District (ELCO), and Fort Collins Loveland Water District (FCLWD). The proposed Steering Committee Charter articulates key regional water issues identified by the Steering Committee and the purpose and intended outcomes of regional water collaboration.

Resolution 2016-095 Consenting to a Request by the Anheuser-Busch Park and Recreation District to Dissolve.

Legal counsel from the District contacted the City Attorney's Office in August 2016 to seek the City's consent to the dissolution of the park and recreation district formed in 2008. The District's Board of Directors believes the benefits do not justify the overhead costs of administering the district. State statute §32-1-704(3)(b) permits special districts to dissolve without conducting an election if: (a) the City Council and District Board both consent, and (b) the district does not carry any outstanding financial obligations. Anheuser-Busch is the sole property owner within the District.

Resolution 2016-096 Adopting Amendments to the City's Financial Policies Relating to the Revenue Policy. The purpose of this item is to update Financial Policy 2 - Revenue. The Revenue and Debt Policies were last updated in 2013. No changes are recommended to the Debt Policy, but changes are recommended to the Revenue Policy. They primarily relate to Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR) and the recent need for voter approval to keep the excess revenue associated with the “Keep Fort Collins Great” sales and use tax. The related changes are meant to reduce the potential for another such election. All other changes are clarifications or removal of sections with little to no policy elements. Council Finance Committee reviewed and approved the recommended changes on November 21, 2016. 17. Resolution 2016-097 Making Appointments to Various Boards and Commissions of the City of Fort Collins. The purpose of this item is to appoint individuals to fill vacancies that currently exist on various boards, commissions, and authorities due to resignations of board members and vacancies to be created upon the expiration of terms of current members. Applications were solicited during September and October. Council teams interviewed applicants during November and December. This Resolution appoints individuals to fill current vacancies and expiring terms. City of Fort Collins Page 7 This Resolution does not fill all vacancies. Interviews are continuing, and any remaining vacancies will be advertised as needed.
