SUBJECT
Items Relating to Locker Renovations at Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC) and an Intergovernmental Agreement
with CSU Department of Campus Recreation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 150, 2015, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue for Locker
Renovation at EPIC.
B. Resolution 2015-103 Authorizing an Intergovernmental Agreement with Colorado State University
Regarding the Construction of a Locker Room at the EPIC Ice Arena.
Ordinance No. 150, 2015, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 1, 2015, appropriates $57,012
for the construction cost of a locker room at EPIC. The funding for the locker room construction was raised by
the CSU club hockey team. Resolution 2015-103 provides an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between
the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University (CSU) Department of Campus Recreation. The IGA
provides for a renewable 10-year agreement to provide a dedicated locker room for the hockey team. Because
CSU is funding the improvements, staff has proposed waiving certain maintenance costs for the new EPIC
locker room during the initial term of the IGA. However, it is expected that the University will continue to pay all
standard rental and user fees associated with reservation and use of ice time at EPIC.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading and the Resolution.

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 150, 2015, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Recreation Fund for
Locker Renovation at Edora Pool Ice Center (EPIC).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to introduce an ordinance to appropriate $57,012 for the construction cost of a
locker room at EPIC. The funding for the locker room construction was raised by the CSU club hockey team.
Staff will bring to Council for approval upon second reading of the appropriation ordinance an
intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University (CSU)
Department of Campus Recreation. The IGA is expected to provide for a renewable 10-year agreement to
provide a dedicated locker room for the hockey team. Because CSU is funding the improvements, staff has
proposed waiving certain maintenance costs for the new EPIC locker room during the initial term of the IGA.
However, it is expected that the University will continue to pay all standard rental and user fees associated with
reservation and use of ice time at EPIC.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
CSU Ram Hockey is a Club Hockey organization under the umbrella of the CSU Department of Campus
Recreation. The City’s history with the men’s team dates back to 1990, a few years after EPIC opened. The
Colorado State Rams Hockey Team plays in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 1
league and is a founding member of the Western Collegiate Hockey League (WCHL).
EPIC and CSU have maintained a positive relationship for decades. This relationship has included:
Jointly operating weekend hockey games
Tournaments
Fundraising events
Beginner/intermediate/advanced skills classes for credit in health science studies
Intercollegiate figure skating competitions.
Two years ago, the CSU Men’s club hockey team moved its home rink to the NoCo Ice Rink in Windsor. Last
year, the team and coaches requested a return to EPIC as the team’s home rink and wanted to negotiate a
long term use agreement. However, the Division 1 Western Collegiate Hockey League in which the hockey
team plays requires teams have their own locker room at their home rink.

Agenda Item 5
Item # 5 Page 2
Last year, EPIC staff identified a possible solution to the locker room issue and began plans to convert
underutilized temporary office space and a small multi use room into a locker room. The CSU team then
raised the necessary funds to remodel the space and transferred the funds to the City. The locker room
construction begins a ten-year commitment between the CSU Campus Recreation Department and the City of
Fort Collins, furthering the positive and progressive partnership between the two entities.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The construction of the new locker room creates no new financial commitment for the City of Fort Collins
beyond application of the funds generated by CSU, deposited with the City for this purpose. CSU would
continue to be entitled to the use of the locker room, assuming continued operation of the EPIC facility
generally.
Long term financial benefits for the City include:
Increased revenue for EPIC through home match ticket sales
Increased profile for EPIC and use of the facility by the CSU students attending events
Hockey Tournament ticket and concession sales
Hockey camp revenues
Reduced labor expense in the City’s Cub Hockey program as a result of volunteer involvement by CSU
team members.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reviewed and unanimously supported a draft of the agreement at its
July 22, 2015, meeting.

RESOLUTION 2015-103
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
AUTHORIZING AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT
WITH COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY REGARDING
CONSTRUCTION OF A LOCKER ROOM AT THE EPIC ICE ARENA
WHEREAS, between 1990 and 2013, the Colorado State University (“CSU”) men’s club

room remodeling and has proposed entering into an agreement with the City to facilitate
construction and dedication of the locker room for CSU Hockey during its regular hockey season
(August-April); and
WHEREAS, for the benefit of CSU Hockey, CSU separately contracts for use of one or
more ice rinks (referred to as “ice time”) at EPIC; paying such user fees as are charged for ice
time by the facility from time to time, and such separate acquisition of ice time at EPIC is likely
to continue on a year-to-year basis during the term of any such agreement in light of the
availability of a locker room meeting Division I Western Collegiate Hockey League standards,
thereby increasing the likelihood of ongoing revenues to EPIC during such time; and

of the proposed locker room improvements to be funded by CSU, CSU’s payment of user fees
for ice time at EPIC during term of the IGA, anticipated ticket and concession sales for home
CSU Hockey matches and tournaments, increased national profile for EPIC as a sports venue,
additional City hockey camp capacity through improved facilities, and reduced labor costs

WHEREAS, to the extent the IGA constitutes a “lease” as defined in City Code Section
23-110, City Council may authorize such a “lease” by resolution pursuant to Code Section 23-

are governmental entities of the State of Colorado whose liability in tort is at all times strictly
limited and controlled by the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act, CRS 24-10-101, et seq., as
now or hereafter amended (the “CGIA”), and that nothing herein is intended as a waiver of such
immunity. Without waiving such immunity, only to the extent permitted by applicable law, each
Party shall be responsible for its own negligence and the negligence of its employees, authorized
volunteers, and agents acting within the scope of their authority under this Agreement. Any
liability of the City, the University, or their officers and employees is subject to all the defenses,
immunities, and limitations of the CGIA, and to any other defenses, immunities, and limitations
to liability available under the law. It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained
in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied waiver by the University or the
City of it governmental and sovereign immunities, as an express or implied acceptance by the
University or the City of liabilities arising as a result of actions which lie in tort or could lie in
tort in excess of the liabilities allowable under the CGIA, as a pledge of the full faith and credit
the State of Colorado, or as the assumption by any of the Parties of a debt, contract or liability of
each other in violation of Article XI, Section 1 of the Constitution of Colorado
11. Relationship of Parties; Assignment. Neither Party may assign or in any way transfer
its rights under this Agreement to any other persons or non-parties. Nothing in this Agreement
shall imply any partnership, joint venture, or other association between the University and the
City. Each Party shall have sole responsibility for the content and the conduct of its activities.
Neither the University's nor the City's name shall be used by the other to suggest co-
sponsorship or endorsement of any activity without prior written approval of the other Party.
12. Acceptance of Premises. Prior to requesting the use of the EPIC Locker Room, or
any facilities and equipment therein, the University agrees that it has inspected the same and
IGA with CSU
EPIC Locker Room Page 6 of 18
accepts them in their then-present, as-is condition and shall not alter or change them without
written approval of the City, and that at the termination of the use, the same shall be returned
in the condition as received by the University, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The
University will reimburse the City for any damage to City property directly attributable to
University's use of the facilities beyond reasonable wear and tear.
13. Destruction, Loss of Use, Risk of Loss.
a. If, prior to the use date(s) provided for herein, the EPIC Locker Room
facilities or equipment are destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty or become
unavailable or unusable because of a strike, public emergency, natural disaster, or other cause
beyond the reasonable control of the City, then the City may elect to terminate this Agreement
and return any use fees previously paid by the University for future uses and have no further
obligation whatsoever hereunder, or the City may repair the EPIC Locker Room to the same
or similar condition as it was in prior to the damage or destruction, in which case the City will
refund only those use fees previously paid for dates that the EPIC Locker Room was
unavailable.
b. The City is not responsible for broken, lost or stolen property. The University
agrees that all of its property or property of others brought or permitted to be brought by it onto
City-owned property shall be at the University's risk.
14. Compliance with Laws, Rules, Regulations and Policies. Each Party agrees to
abide by all applicable laws and ordinances, including those of the City of Fort Collins and
State of Colorado, in connection with the activities under this Agreement, and with the City's
Guidelines. If in the City's sole discretion and judgment, a particular event or activity on City
property threatens or creates an unreasonable risk of harm to persons or property, or
constitutes a violation of law, a nuisance, or a hazard, the City may immediately cancel or
terminate the event without liability.
15. Subject to Annual Appropriation. All financial obligations of the City under this
Agreement are contingent upon annual appropriation, budgeting and availability of specific
funds to discharge those obligations, including advanced payment of project costs by University.
Funding beyond the current fiscal year is conditioned upon appropriation of sufficient funds to
support the activities described in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall create a
payment guaranty by the City, a debt or a multiple-fiscal year financial obligation under the
Colorado Constitution or any similar provisions of the City’s charter or ordinances. Upon notice,
the City may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part, without prejudice to any right or
remedy of City, if expected or actual funding is withdrawn, reduced, or limited in any way
16. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). City facilities are accessible to persons
with disabilities as required by federal law. The University may also have obligations
under the ADA, or other state or local laws, to ensure that University events are accessible
to persons with disabilities. Any such obligation that is unique to the University, beyond
the physical accessibility of the EPIC Locker Room, shall be the University's sole
IGA with CSU
EPIC Locker Room Page 7 of 18
responsibility.
17. Right of Entry. Facilities occupied by University shall, at all times, be under the control
of the City, and City personnel have the right to enter said facilities on official matters at any
time when so deemed necessary. At no time during the term of this Agreement shall University
alter locks or otherwise secure facilities in any manner that renders the facilities inaccessible to
City personnel.

any portion of the City's property without the City's prior written consent.
19. Signs. The University team will be allowed to have signage on door(s) and/or
windows of the EPIC Locker Room, acknowledging the locker room is the “Colorado State

personal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of both parties. It is expressly
understood and agreed that the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and all rights of action relating to such enforcement, shall be strictly reserved to the Parties.
Nothing contained in this contract shall give or allow any claim or right of action whatsoever
by any other third person. It is the express intention of the Parties that any such person or
entity, other than the Parties, receiving services or benefits under this Agreement shall be
deemed an incidental beneficiary only.
23. Amendment. No modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be valid unless it is
made in a writing signed by the authorized representatives of the parties.
24. Survival of Certain Terms. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties
understand and agree that all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the exhibits and
attachments hereto which may require continued performance, compliance, or effect beyond the
termination date of this Agreement shall survive such termination date.
25. Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach or violation of any provision of this
Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of
the same or other provision hereof.
26. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable for
any reason, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
27. Default; Termination; Dispute Resolution.
a. Default. A Party will be considered in default of its obligations under this
Agreement if such party should fail to observe, to comply with, or to perform any term,
condition, or covenant contained in this Agreement and such failure continues for 10 days after a
non-defaulting Party gives the defaulting Party written notice thereof.
b. Termination for Cause. In the event of default, a non-defaulting Party, upon
written notice to the defaulting Party, may terminate this Agreement as of the date specified in
the notice.
c. Dispute Resolution. Any dispute concerning the performance of this Agreement
that cannot be resolved by the designated representatives of the Parties shall be referred to
superior departmental management staff designated by each party (which, for University,
shall be the Vice President for University Operations, and for the City, shall be the City
Manager), whose decisions shall be made within 30 days after notice or such other period as
the Parties may agree. Failing resolution at that level, either party has the right to bring legal
action to recover only such damages and remedies as are authorized pursuant to this Agreement,
in accordance with Colorado law, and only in a court of competent jurisdiction located within the
City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, Colorado. Notwithstanding any other provision
IGA with CSU
EPIC Locker Room Page 9 of 18
contained herein, neither party shall be liable to the other for any indirect, consequential,
incidental, exemplary (punitive), or special damages. In the event of any default or dispute, each
party shall be solely responsible for its own attorneys' fees.
d. Disputes over Payments. In the event the University disputes any amount invoiced
by the City during the term of this Agreement, the University shall timely remit payment of all
undisputed amounts on that invoice, and, together with such payment, provide a written
objection to the disputed amounts and the reasons for such dispute. The Parties will cooperate
and communicate promptly, in good faith, exchange all pertinent information, investigate the
circumstances, and otherwise use all reasonable means to resolve the disputed items as soon as
possible thereafter. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute, the University will remit the
disputed payment, but such amount shall be considered paid under protest, and the University
will retain the right to seek redress under subsection c. of this Section 27.
28. Counterparts and Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed with any number of
counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered will constitute an original, but all such
counterparts will constitute one and the same instrument.

by Colorado law to be contained in every state contract of the state of Colorado, and are hereby
