Avenue between the Poudre River Bridge and Lemay Avenue. Lincoln Corridor Improvements
Project - Phase I will construct road and intersection improvements, multimodal enhancements, utility
improvements, and access control improvements in accordance with the Lincoln Corridor Plan. The

construct these improvements, the City will need to acquire certain property interests adjacent to the
project area. The acquisitions include right-of-way, permanent easements, and temporary
easements from eleven property owners. Timely acquisition of the property is necessary to meet the

alignment with Ordinance No. 098, 2011, the scope of the Policy has expanded from past versions to
include various types of energy sources and end-uses delivered within the community, which include
electricity, natural gas and transportation fuels. The Policy update was timed to allow for coordination
with the Climate Action Plan Framework (CAP) and associated goals adopted by Council earlier in
2015. The Policy provides goals for the prioritization of decision making, programs and services
related to the quantity of use and the energy sources for electricity, thermal end-uses and

organizations.

23. Resolution 2015-117 Extending by One Year the Work-Completion Deadline Established in
Resolution 2014-005 Regarding Cooperation and a Partnership with Larimer County on the
Use of Tax Increment Financing. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to extend City staff’s work-completion deadline in Resolution 2014-103
from December 15, 2015, to December 15, 2016. Resolution 2013-045 was originally adopted by
City Council on May 7, 2013. Section 4 of that Resolution directs staff to work with Larimer County
and other northern Colorado municipalities and affected property tax levying entities to develop an
appropriate fiscal impact analysis model for evaluating financial impacts associated with the
formation of tax increment financing districts and the use of tax increment financing. Resolution
2014-005 extended the work-completion deadline set in Resolution 2013-045 from December 15,
2013, to December 15, 2014, and Resolution 2014-103 extended the work-completion deadline to
December 15, 2015.
A team made up of representatives from various municipalities and tax levying entities within the
County contracted with Economic Planning & Systems (EPS) to develop a “fiscal impact analysis
model”. Work has taken longer than anticipated and while a new quantitative direct cost impact
model and a qualitative indirect impact factors model have been developed, additional work is
required to finalize the assumptions and gain agreement across the team. The current timeline
anticipates completion summer/fall of 2016. As such, an extension to December 15, 2016 is

stated this has been value-added work and discussed the benefits of the entities meeting.
Councilmember Cunniff noted this resolution is mandated by events surrounding the Foothills
Mall agreement and asked if Poudre School District has been approached for feedback. Mike
Beckstead, Chief Financial Officer, replied the School District was invited to be a part of this
group, but declined the invitation and has not been in attendance at any of the meetings. City
Manager Atteberry noted the District Superintendent was involved in several meetings at the
beginning of the process.
