Programming Not Included in the 2019 Adopted City Budget.

support commercial-scale waterwise transformations in partnership with homeowners’ associations

2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 022, 2019, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue from
the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) in the Transit Services Fund and Appropriating Prior
Year Reserves in the Transit Services Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriations
from the Transit Services Fund to the Capital Project Fund for the Accessible Infrastructure
Enhancement Project and Transferring Appropriations from the Capital Project Fund to the
Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for the Art in Public Places Program. (Adopted)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019, appropriates
unanticipated grant revenue awarded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to upgrade bus
stops throughout the Transfort service area. This infrastructure enhancement project will use FTA
grant funds in the amount of $1,520,344 with a local match of $380,086 derived from Community
Capital Improvement Program (CCIP) funds. This project will repair or replace concrete pads at bus
stops and purchase amenities, such as shelters, over the next two to three years.
3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 023, 2019, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in
the General Fund to Purchase Electric Lawn and Garden Equipment for the Parks Department
and Authorizing the Transfer of Previously Appropriated Funds in the Environmental Services
Department Operating Budget. (Adopted)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019, appropriates
unanticipated grant revenue in the amount of $19,998 in the General Fund for the purchase of electric
commercial lawn and garden equipment for municipal operations. The grant is provided by the
Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) and directly supports local efforts to reduce ozone causing
pollutants from gas and diesel powered equipment. A local match of $34,616 is required. Lawn and
garden equipment purchases appropriated and expended in 2018 are eligible to be applied towards
matching funds ($14,616), and the remaining $20,000 is appropriated and unexpended in the 2019
Environmental Services operating budget.
4. Items Relating to Non-Exclusive Utility Easement Agreements with Colorado State University
and Colorado State University Research Foundation. (Adopted)
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 024, 2019, Approving a Non-Exclusive Utility Easement
Agreement for City Storm Sewer Lines on Colorado State University Property, Including Vacation
of Easements Granted in 1966 Right-of-Way Agreement.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 025, 2019, Approving a Non-Exclusive Utility Easement
Agreement for City Storm Sewer Lines on Colorado State University Research Foundation
Property, Including Vacation of Easements Granted in 1966 Right-of-Way Agreement.
These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019, vacate a 1966 storm
sewer easement on Colorado State University’s (CSU) Main Campus, portions of which are now
owned by the Colorado State Research Foundation (CSURF), and approve a new Utility Easement
Agreement in its place. The existing storm sewer main is generally not located in the center of the
existing right-of-way and in some places is not within the right-of-way at all. These Ordinances will
abandon the 1966 right-of-way and replace it with a new easement that is centered on the existing
storm sewer main.
5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 026, 2019, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into
Contracts for Services, Professional Services and/or Construction in Excess of Five Years for
the Proposed Enlargement of Halligan Reservoir. (Adopted)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019, authorizes the
Purchasing Agent, pursuant to City Code Section 8-186(a), to enter into contracts greater than five
years in length for services, professional services, and/or construction of the proposed enlargement of
Halligan Reservoir. Contracts authorized under the proposed ordinance could be extended up to the
life of the project. Preliminary design of an enlarged Halligan Reservoir will likely begin in late 2019,
and construction could begin four years later. Construction is anticipated to last approximately two
years. Under this scenario and without this proposed ordinance, the design contract would expire

6. Items Relating to Revisions to Municipal Code Chapter 14 (Landmark Preservation) and to Land
Use Code Section 3.4.7 (Historic and Cultural Resources). (Adopted)
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 034, 2019, Amending Chapter 14 of the Code of the City of
Fort Collins Regarding Landmark Preservation.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 035, 2019, Amending Land Use Code Sections 3.4.7 and 5.1.2
Pertaining to Historic and Cultural Resources.
These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019, amend City Code
and Land Use Code to implement recommendations for improvements to codes that apply to historic
buildings, sites, structures or objects (“historic resources”). These revisions are a result of the 2017-
2018 Historic Preservation Codes and Processes Review. The objectives of this review were to provide
greater clarity and predictability in all regulations governing historic resources and to improve
standards for reviewing the design compatibility of new construction with historic resources.
7. First Reading of Ordinance No. 036, 2019, Reappropriating Funds Previously Appropriated in
2018 But Not Expended and Not Encumbered in 2018. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to reappropriate monies in 2019 that were previously authorized by City
Council for various expenditures in 2018 for various purposes. The authorized expenditures were not
spent or could not be encumbered in 2018 because:
• there was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2018 and therefore, there was no known
vendor or binding contract as required to expend or encumber the monies,
• the project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not be completed
during 2018 and reappropriation of those dollars is necessary for completion of the project in 2019,
or
• to carry on programs, services, and facility improvements in 2019 with unspent dollars previously
appropriated in 2018
In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into individual fund
balances at the end of 2018 and reflect no change in Council policies.
8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 037, 2019, Making Amendments to the Land Use Code Planned
Unit Development Regulations. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to adopt changes to the Land Use Code Planned Unit Development (PUD)
regulations to clarify the vested rights process and who is eligible to seek an amendment to an
approved PUD Master Plan.
9. First Reading of Ordinance No, 038, 2019, Authorizing the Mayor to Execute the First
Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement for Water Treatment Service Capacity
Between the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, and the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District.
(Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to amend the existing agreement signed in 2013 (the “2013 Agreement”)
between the City and the Fort Collins–Loveland Water District (FCLWD) concerning FCLWD’s
acquisition of 5 million gallons per day (MGD) of water treatment capacity at the City’s Water Treatment
Facility. The proposed amendment to the 2013 Agreement will allow for FCLWD to make an early
payment of the entire outstanding principal associated with the financing of the Plant Investment Fee
(PIF).

The City, FCLWD, and their respective enterprises were all parties to the 2013 Agreement. The
amendment thus likewise must be approved by both City Council and the City of Fort Collins Water
Utility Enterprise Board. The FCLWD Board and the FCLWD Enterprise Board approved the proposed
amendment on Tuesday, February 19, 2019.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 039, 2019, Authorizing the Sale of Seven Water Taps and One
Sewer Tap Owned by the City's Natural Areas Department. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to seek Council approval to sell seven water taps and one sewer tap. The
taps were acquired with various parcels purchased by the City’s Natural Areas Department over the
last decade or so. The Department has no use for the taps and recommends selling them and using
the proceeds for land conservation. Additionally, the taps have monthly fees costing the Department
approximately $1,425 per year. The Department checked with the Affordable Housing Land Bank to
ascertain its interest prior to placing the taps on the market. The Affordable Housing Land Bank does
not have a use for the taps at this time.
11. Resolution 2019-031 Setting for April 16, 2019, a Noticed Public Hearing for the City Council's
Consideration of a Resolution to Approve the Drake & College Urban Renewal Plan and the
Authorization of the Use of Eminent Domain to Acquire Property Within the Drake & College
Urban Renewal Plan Area. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to discuss setting the public hearing for April 16, 2019, for adoption of an
Urban Renewal Plan area at the vicinity of Drake Road and College Avenue and to authorize the Urban
Renewal Authority’s future exercise of eminent domain if needed under the Plan. Project
improvements funded by the Urban Renewal Authority (URA) will be used to remedy blight findings,
finance developer gaps and support area improvements as outlined in the agreements with each taxing
body. The Urban Renewal Plan Area must be formally adopted by City Council before the URA can
provide any financial support. Setting the public hearing is the first step towards formal City Council
adoption of the Urban Renewal Plan Area.
12. Resolution 2019-032 Making Appointments to the Building Review Board, Downtown
Development Authority, and the Natural Resources Advisory Board of the City of Fort Collins.
(Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to appoint individuals to fill vacancies that currently exist on the Building
Review Board, the Downtown Development Authority and the Natural Resources Advisory Board.
During the annual fall recruitment, a vacancy remained on the Building Review Board. The vacancy
on the Downtown Development Authority is due to the death of Justin Larson. The vacancy on the
Natural Resources Board is due to the resignation of Ling Wang.

14. Consideration of Two Appeals of the Administrative Hearing Officer Decision to Approve the
Hansen Farm Project Development Plan PDP170036. (Hearing Officer Decision Upheld)
The purpose of this item is to consider two appeals of the December 13, 2018, Administrative Hearing
Officer decision to approve the Hansen Farm Project Development Plan, PDP170036 (the “Decision”).
On December 20, 2018, an appeal by Thomas Barlow was filed challenging the Decision (Appeal No.
1). On December 27, 2018, a second appeal by Christopher McElroy was filed challenging the
Decision (Appeal No. 2).
Appeal No. 1 - Thomas Barlow
Appeal No. 1 includes the following ground for appeal:
Failure to properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land Use Code, more specifically:
• Failure to properly interpret and apply Policy FC-LUF-5 of the Fossil Creek Reservoir Area Plan
(“FCR Area Plan”), as adopted under Resolution 98-54 and amended by the Fort Collins City
Council.
Appeal No. 2 - Christopher McElroy
Appeal No. 2 includes the following grounds for appeal:
1. The Hearing Officer failed to conduct a fair hearing, in that:
• The Hearing Officer considered evidence relevant to its findings, which was substantially false or
grossly misleading.
2. Failure to properly interpret and apply relevant provisions of the Land Use Code, more specifically:
• Failure to properly interpret and apply Policy FC-LUF-5 of the FCR Area Plan, as adopted under
Resolution 98-54 and amended by the Fort Collins City Council.
It is noted that the Applicant is represented by Carolynne White and her law firm, Brownstein Hyatt
Farber and Schreck (BHFS). BHFS and Ms. White are also Council to the Fort Collins Urban Renewal
Authority and its Board, which includes all seven members of the City Council and two additional
members.
Mayor Troxell outlined the hearing process.

Councilmember Summers stated he has filed a conflict of interest on this item as his house is in
close proximity to the new development.
Mayor Troxell noted Carolynne White and her firm, Brownstein, Hyatt, Farber and Shreck, are
representing the applicant in these appeals. Ms. White also represents the Fort Collins Urban
Renewal Authority; however, Mayor Troxell stated her participation in this proceeding does not
create any bias.
Councilmember Cunniff stated that, while he is not happy about the situation, he does not feel it
impacts his ability to be objective in this matter and consider the appeal strictly on its merits.
City Attorney Daggett stated this item is a hearing of two appeals filed by parties-in-interest
seeking Council review of an administrative hearing officer decision that approved the project
development plan for Hansen Farm under the Land Use Code. She outlined the grounds of appeal
for both appeals.
Chris McElroy identified himself as an appellant.
Tom Barlow identified himself as an appellant.
Carolynne White identified herself as counsel representing the applicant and introduced Jeff Mark,
principal of the applicant's entity.
Mayor Troxell stated he is consolidating both appeals for this hearing and outlined the time
allocation for each party.
Tom Leeson, Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director, discussed the
location of the project, noting it is the first phase of a multi-phase project. As approved, the low-
density, mixed-use project contains 178 single-family units and associated infrastructure with
primary access from South Timberline. Leeson discussed the appeal allegations and noted the
project complies with the LMN zoning standards and applicable general development standards in
the Land Use Code and is consistent with the related policies in the Fossil Creek Area Plan and
City Plan.
Mr. McElroy stated he has concerns with Ms. White's representation but noted it has been
addressed by Council.
Mr. Barlow stated Ms. White has attorney/client privilege with Council as well as with the
applicant.
City Attorney Daggett clarified the Urban Renewal Authority, which is represented by Ms. White,
is a separate governmental body from the City of Fort Collins and Councilmembers would not
have had any dialogue with Ms. White regarding this matter.
Ms. White stated she consulted with ethics and conflicts counsel prior to undertaking this
representation and confirmed the analysis that because the URA is a separate legal entity from the
City, there is no legal conflict. Additionally, she has not had any conversations in public or private
about this project with any members of Council.

Mayor Troxell discussed the policy relating to the admittance of new evidence and noted Mr.
McElroy submitted new evidence to the City Clerk related to his fair hearing allegation.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to allow the new
evidence in order to ensure Council has as much information as possible.
Ms. White stated she would not object to the inclusion of the new evidence, but she would like to
ensure the new evidence is not being offered in support of a new basis for appeal and requested
the Willow Springs site plan be acknowledged as the official record of measurements rather than
the Google Earth measurements provided by the appellants.
Mr. McElroy noted their measurements were provided partially by engineers.
The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Horak, Troxell, Cunniff, Gutowsky, Stephens and
Martinez. Nays: none.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
(Secretary's Note: The Council took a brief recess at this point in the meeting.)
Mr. Barlow stated he has marked the areas on the Willow Springs site plan that have been replatted
subsequent to the site plan dates. Ms. White offered no objection to the inclusion of this
information.
Mr. McElroy objected to Ms. White being counsel for the developer.
APPELLANT PRESENTATION
Mr. McElroy stated his intention is not to stop this development, but rather to ensure its compliance
with appropriate Codes. He requested Council send the PDP back for further review given the
abrupt transition between Willow Springs and the proposed project. One of his points of
contention with the Hansen Farms development is the claim by City staff that the Land Use Code
overrides everything from the Fossil Creek Area Plan.
Mr. McElroy noted the hearing officer had eight comments and questions about compatibility in
the verbatim transcript; however, none of those were mentioned in the staff summary.
Mr. Barlow stated the focus of his appeal is the Fossil Creek Area Plan section relating to a new
development complimenting the established patterns of buildings and outdoor spaces along the
edge of the existing development with no drastic and abrupt increase in the size of buildings or
intensity of building coverage. He also noted if the provisions of the Land Use Code conflict with
any other resolution, the more specific standard, limitation, or requirement shall govern or prevail
to the extent of the conflict; therefore, the provisions of the Fossil Creek Area Plan should take
priority as they are more specific.
Mr. Barlow stated Mr. Wray acknowledges in his comments that the Fossil Creek Area Plan is
more specific policy direction and continues to state the Land Use Code provides the regulatory
basis for plan compliance; however, he failed to acknowledge the Land Use Code calls for the
more specific regulations to apply.

Mr. Barlow noted the hearing officer stated she finds it impossible to know whether the building
sizes and coverages are compatible because they have yet to be submitted to the City. He requested
Council reverse the hearing officer's decision and remand it for further review.
APPLICANT PRESENTATION
Ms. White requested Council deny the appeals and uphold the hearing officer's decision. She
stated the PDP conforms with the Fossil Creek Area Plan, the hearing officer did not grant too
much authority to staff, and the applicant provided accurate and appropriate information during
the approval process. She noted the approval contains conditions requiring staff to address whether
the next stages are in conformance with the Fossil Creek Area Plan.
Ms. White described the project and noted it contains 10 acres of natural habitat buffer with
extensive landscaping and open space. She stated the projects should be compared as a whole and
not simply based only on the edges and noted the Land Use Code does not require specific home
size information at the PDP stage.
Ms. White discussed the similarities of Willow Springs and the proposed Hansen Farms
development noting compatibility does not mean “the same as” and discussed the development of
the site plan to place higher densities away from the Willow Springs site in response to residents’
concerns.
Ms. White stated the appellants have not met their burden in demonstrating that the hearing officer
acted improperly and requested Council uphold the hearing officer's decision and allow the Hansen
Farms project to proceed to the next step in the process, at which it will be determined whether or
not compatibility exists based on those additional conditions imposed by the hearing officer.
APPELLANT REBUTTAL
Mr. McElroy stated the vicinity maps provided by Ms. White were incorrect.
Mr. Barlow stated the project should not only be required to meet the Land Use Code, but the
Fossil Creek Area Plan in addition, and any conflict between the two should be resolved by
applying the Area Plan. He stated a wall of homes is being created by the development and Willow
Springs does not want a wall on its border.
APPLICANT REBUTTAL
Ms. White clarified the definition of density noting it is calculated on a per acre basis throughout
the entire project. She stated the development complies with the Code and the hearing officer's
decision should be upheld.
(Secretary's Note: The Council took a brief recess at this point in the meeting.)
COUNCIL DISCUSSION
Councilmember Cunniff noted the PDP is part of an overall set of development steps and asked
for a summary of those steps. Leeson replied projects of this magnitude go through a project
development plan, which is a land use approval process involving a complete review by staff of
certain required documents for compatibility with City Plan and the Land Use Code. Staff then

makes a recommendation to the decision maker. If approved by the decision maker, the applicant
would submit a final development plan which is much more technical and detailed and is approved
administratively with no appeal process. The next step would be review of building permits for
individual lots, which are also reviewed administratively for compliance with zoning and setback
standards.
Councilmember Cunniff asked when the condition regarding compatibility with the Fossil Creek
Area Plan would be considered. Leeson replied it would be considered at the time of the final
development plan during which the subdivision would be reviewed for consistency with the
zoning.
Councilmember Cunniff asked how long the area has been zoned LMN. Pete Wray, Senior
Planner, replied the Hansen Farm property was annexed in 2013 and zoned a combination of LMN,
MMN, and Neighborhood Commercial.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if it would be highly unlikely any new development would be
zoned RL. Leeson replied in the affirmative.
Councilmember Martinez requested clarification as to who makes the recommendation to the
decision maker. Leeson replied it is a collective process of many City staff who review a project
relative to underlying standards. Leeson stated a resulting staff report is written by a planner,
reviewed by the development review manager and himself, and forwarded to the decision maker.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, that the Hearing
Officer conducted a fair hearing in her consideration of the Hansen Farm PDP #170036 and did
not consider evidence relevant to her decision that was substantially false or grossly misleading,
and further, that based on the evidence in the record and presented at this hearing, the allegation
in the McElroy appeal that the officer did not conduct a fair hearing is thereby found to be without
merit and is denied.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would support the motion as he did not see any indication that
the information that was considered was outside the bounds of what was necessary to make the
decision.
Councilmember Stephens stated the zoning allows for what has been proposed and there was
adequate public input to which the developer responded.

These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019, appropriate the
lease financing proceeds received from the Certificates of Participation for the I-25/Prospect
Interchange and Police Regional Training Campus, respectively.
Travis Storin, Accounting Director, stated there has been a staff-recommended increase in the
appropriation of $103,600, which results in a lower overall borrowing cost for the City.
City Attorney read the resulting changes of both ordinances.

16. Items Relating to Outdoor Residential Wood Burning. (Adopted as Amended on First Reading)
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 042, 2019, Amending Chapter 20 of the Code of the City of Fort
Collins Pertaining to Nuisances.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2019, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund
to Increase Staffing for Outdoor Residential Wood Burning Program Support.
The purpose of this item is to modify the current air pollution nuisance Code provision to make it more
enforceable for smoke impacts from outdoor residential wood fires. Changes proposed include
decriminalization, a midnight curfew and a property line setback for outdoor wood burning. Additionally,
resources in the form of an 0.25 FTE increase, are being requested to support education, outreach
and compliance with the code.
Jeff Mihelich, Deputy City Manager, stated staff is recommending the adoption of ordinances to
address outdoor residential burning. Ordinance No. 042, 2019, provides much more specificity in
the Code that will allow enforcement of outdoor residential burning and Ordinance No. 043, 2019,
allows for the enactment of a very aggressive pilot program with a heavy emphasis on education.
Cassie Archuleta, Environmental Sustainability Manager, discussed the public engagement efforts
and noted smoke is particle pollution, which is an air quality and nuisance concern. The current
air pollution nuisance code speaks to smoke, comfort, health, and enjoyment of property; however,
it is difficult to enforce. Proposed updates that would help with enforcement include
decriminalizing the offense which lowers the burden of proof and operational requirements such
as a midnight curfew and 15-foot property line setback.
Archuleta discussed the proposed educational aspects and providing resources to help facilitate
neighbor-to-neighbor conversations. The first year will be used as a pilot for evaluation. The Air
Quality Advisory Board and Natural Resources Advisory Board both supported the proposed
changes but asked staff to consider air quality advisory day bans.
Adam Eggleston expressed concern this ordinance would not be enforceable.
Margit Henstchel thanked staff for working on this issue. She stated her preference would be a
ban on outdoor burning, but suggested a 9 PM curfew at the latest, a complaint response and
enforcement that is appropriately staffed across nights and weekends, and to not use a counting of
the number of complaints, but rather science, to measure the issue.
Michelle Haefele stated the ordinance, as proposed, still prioritizes the recreational activity over
health concerns. She stated nighttime enforcement should occur, the 15-foot setback will not
address smoke, and agreed an earlier curfew would be preferable. She also suggested particulates
rather than complaints should be measured and opposed a permit system.
Aaron Fodge stated residential wood smoke code enforcement should protect all neighbors and
their right to breath clean air on their property. He encouraged a stronger ordinance.

Mike Knowles questioned the ability of the City to enforce this ordinance if staff is not available
to actually witness a violation of the ordinance.
Councilmember Martinez asked how staff arrived at the midnight curfew. Mihelich replied staff
felt that was a reasonable standard knowing Council would want to have additional conversations
on the issue.
Councilmember Stephens asked what time the City's noise ordinance begins. Jody Hurst, Assistant
City Attorney, replied there is no specific time and the noise ordinance is enforced based on the
time of day; however, there are certain zones where construction and decibel-related noises are
time limited.
Councilmember Cunniff asked about the origin of the 15-foot setback. Mihelich replied that is
consistent with the fire code for setbacks from combustibles.
Councilmember Cunniff asked about high pollution advisory days in the summer. Archuleta
replied staff is unaware of any community with a fire pit ban on summer high pollution advisory
days.
Councilmember Cunniff requested a cost estimate for night and weekend code compliance staff
prior to Second Reading. City Manager Atteberry replied he would provide the information;
however, there is an argument to be made that this type of enforcement is not appropriate for a
code compliance officer.
Councilmember Gutowsky stated citizens are concerned about being able to open their windows
in the evening and stated a 9 PM curfew would provide a good compromise to address that issue
and supported the idea of a co-responding team of a code enforcement officer and police officer.
Councilmember Gutowsky suggested the education component should include information as to
what materials are appropriate to burn.
Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Horak, to adopt Ordinance
No. 042, 2019, on First Reading, as amended to change references from City staff to City Council,
to change the curfew hours to 9 PM through 7AM, and to change the setback to 25 feet rather than
15 feet.
Councilmember Martinez asked how staff will ensure a ticket is issued to the proper resident. City
Attorney Daggett replied that will be examined prior to Second Reading; however, staff does not
want to defeat the purpose of the ordinance by making it unintentionally more difficult to enforce.
Councilmember Martinez stated he did not support the 9 PM curfew, but could support 10 PM.
Councilmember Cunniff replied that would allow windows to be opened earlier for residents
without air conditioning allowing for better sleep.
Councilmember Martinez made a motion to amend, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to
change the curfew time to 10 PM.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak stated he would support the amendment noting a great deal of data will be
collected over the next year.

• PUBLIC COMMENT FOLLOW-UP
Mayor Troxell summarized the citizen comments.
Councilmember Martinez requested staff address Mr. Wangsvick’s concerns and review the
documents he referenced for conflicting information. City Attorney Daggett stated the City
Charter has a prohibition on City employees and other entities directly or indirectly contributing
to assisting in the election or defeat of any candidate. Additionally, there is a personnel policy that
helps interpret this provision for employees. She noted there are First Amendment protections for
political speech and activities; however, there are cases supporting the ability of employers to
restrict those activities in order to protect the interests of the employer.
City Manager Atteberry noted these restrictions are in place in order to ensure the highest level of
credibility for municipal elections but are not meant to take away the rights of employees.
Councilmember Cunniff noted the employer is not just the City of Fort Collins, but rather the
citizens of Fort Collins.
Mayor Troxell requested follow-up regarding the implementation of the water allotment
management program. Liesel Hans, Water Conservation Manager, replied staff has been working
on the roll-out of the program and has been pursuing grant funding to supplement the proposed
funding. This year will be the application year, with waivers beginning next year for up to three
years moving forward, depending on the proposed project.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked if staff is working with large entities such as Columbine Health.
Hans replied staff has worked with Columbine over the years. Abbye Neel, Water Conservation
Specialist, stated she has communicated with a number of customers and, while the focus has been
on HOAs, there are a number of businesses with large irrigated areas that have received the same
outreach and information as the HOAs.
Councilmember Martinez clarified the Keep Fort Collins Great tax measure is not an increase
above existing taxes.
Councilmember Stephens thanked Mr. Cutcher for his thoughtful comments.

1. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 036, 2019, Reappropriating Funds Previously Appropriated
in 2018 But Not Expended and Not Encumbered in 2018. (Adopted)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 5, 2019, reappropriates monies in
2019 that were previously authorized by City Council for various expenditures in 2018 for various
purposes. The authorized expenditures were not spent or could not be encumbered in 2018 because:
• there was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2018 and therefore, there was no known vendor
or binding contract as required to expend or encumber the monies,
• the project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not be completed
during 2018 and reappropriation of those dollars is necessary for completion of the project in 2019,
or
• to carry on programs, services, and facility improvements in 2019 with unspent dollars previously
appropriated in 2018
In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into individual fund
balances at the end of 2018 and reflect no change in Council policies.
2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 037, 2019, Making Amendments to the Land Use Code

water taps and one sewer tap. The taps were acquired with various parcels purchased by the City’s
Natural Areas Department over the last decade or so. The Department has no use for the taps and
recommends selling them and using the proceeds for land conservation. Additionally, the taps have
monthly fees costing the Department approximately $1,425 per year. The Department checked with

Affordable Housing Land Bank does not have a use for the taps at this time.

amended. Poudre Fire Authority (“PFA”) is responsible for the enforcement and administration of the
IFC within the City. PFA routinely reviews new codes, proposes local amendments, and seeks
adoption of the IFC changes by the City Council. The proposed amendments, developed in
conjunction with the local Fire Code Review Committee, include several changes to the City Code.
There were a few significant changes to the IFC, including provisions related to mobile food vendors,
higher education laboratories, plant material processing and extraction (cannabis), mobile fueling
service, energy systems and the retroactive installation of fire suppression systems in eating and
drinking establishments with an occupant load in excess of 299. A proposed City Code amendment
mandates at least one means of egress (stairs) be provided in buildings under construction that exceed
one story in height.
6. Items Relating to the Affordable Housing Board and the Community Development Block Grant
Commission. (Withdrawn)
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 048, 2019, Amending Chapter 2, Article III, Division 11 of the Code

as the membership requirements and authorized duties and functions of the Affordable Housing Board.
These Code updates will specifically address the advisory roles of the CDBG Commission and

would be renamed to the Social Investment Commission, and its authority to make funding
recommendations would be modernized to include the diverse funding sources within its grant making
purview. The Affordable Housing Board’s membership requirements would be amended to express a
preference for having at least one member who lives or has lived in affordable housing.

Qualifying Customers in Limited Circumstances. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to consider an Ordinance that gives discretion to the Utilities Executive
Director to provide qualified customers a temporary waiver from Excess Water Use (EWU) surcharges
for up to three years, provided the customer participates in the proposed Allotment Management
Program (AMP) to implement a project that permanently reduces the customer’s water use by
managing landscape water use to an existing allotment. The Ordinance and supporting program create

rounds short of that goal this year, the program was still able to put $70,000 in reserves. He
discussed a survey of golfers at each of the three courses, finding respondents’ views of course
conditions to be good to excellent and a good value.
Calhoon discussed involvement with Audubon, International and stated the City has three of only
36 courses in Colorado that are certified as Audubon-cooperative sanctuaries. This requires the
courses to have a high degree of environmental quality in seven different areas, including
fertilization and water conservation. The fertilization program is 70% organic and each course
contains weather monitoring stations which provide data allowing for optimal water conservation.

Calhoon stated a Golf Manager will be reinstated in 2019 as a result of the budgeting process and
a regional marketing campaign with Greeley and Loveland will be launched. Additionally, the
irrigation systems at City Park Nine and Southridge will be redesigned in 2019.
Councilmember Martinez asked which of the City's courses has the heaviest associated costs.
Calhoon replied Southridge has the heaviest burden of cost due to its antiquated irrigation system.
Councilmember Stephens asked about outreach to community members who may not usually have
the opportunity to play golf. Calhoon replied staff has been working with Poudre School District
on a “5
th
grade plays free” program. There is also a golf program for children through the
Recreation Department and the reduced rate program applies to that.
Councilmember Gutowsky asked if there are ways to mitigate the presence of geese. Calhoon
replied geese are a federally protected species; therefore, permission from Colorado Parks and
Wildlife and the City's Police Chief is required to do hazing on the geese with dogs and coyote
decoys.
B. Staff report: Human Services Grant Process Improvements (staff: Adam Molzer)
Adam Molzer, City Grants and Community Partnerships Coordinator stated the competitive
human services grant process is administered annually to award grant funding to human services
and affordable housing programs in Fort Collins. Molzer discussed improvements and efficiencies
that have been applied to the grant process including the implementation of a scorecard for the
CDBG Commission to evaluate and rank grant proposals and the suspension of in-person
presentations.
Councilmember Summers commended the improvement goal of determining priorities and asked
about the process for determining those priorities. Molzer replied the current priorities are
established in the Social Sustainability strategic plan. Moving forward, there is a goal to create a
Human Services strategic plan that would involve Council and community engagement.
Councilmember Summers suggested programs addressing substance abuse in the community
would be well-advised.
Councilmember Stephens thanked staff for bringing this item forward and noted the decisions
made by the CDBG Commission are difficult. She supported the improvements.
Councilmember Cunniff commended the improvement efforts and thanked the CDBG
Commission for its work. He stated the process should be more intentional as needs continue to
grow. He requested future follow-up regarding conflict of interest guidelines for CDBG
Commission members.
Mayor Troxell commended the improvement efforts.
City Manager Atteberry stated the clearer Council is about its priorities, the easier proper
alignment of outcomes will occur.

• DISCUSSION ITEMS
13. Items Relating to Regulating Electric Scooters and Other Shared and/or Portable Mobility
Devices. (Adopted on Second Reading)
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No, 028, 2019, Amending Chapter 24 of the Code of the City of
Fort Collins to Add a New Article VI Related to the Parking of Shared Mobility Devices.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 029, 2019, Amending Sections 1410 and 2106 of the Fort
Collins Traffic Code to Allow for Signage Designating an Area in the City as a “Dismount Zone”
for Any Form of Conveyance.
Ordinance No. 028, 2019, adopted on First Reading on February 19, 2019 by a vote of 6-1 (nays:
Summers) amends City Code relating to the regulation of electric scooters and other shared and/or
portable mobility devices. Ordinance No. 029, 2019, unanimously adopted on First Reading on
February 19, 2019, amends Traffic Code to allow for signage designating areas of the city as a
dismount zone for all forms of conveyance, including e-scooters.
When discussing this item on March 5, Councilmembers requested that staff forward an amendment
to City Traffic Code to require operators of shared mobility devices including e-scooters to dismount
their conveyances at crosswalks regardless of whether there is a traffic control device requiring them
to do so, which is the only situation under which an operator must dismount under current City Traffic
Code.
To make this amendment, Council will need to move to amend Ordinance No. 029, 2019, to add the
following to the end of Section 3:
“A person riding a shared mobility device or toy vehicle shall dismount before entering any
crosswalk.”
Paul Sizemore, FC Moves Manager, stated these two ordinances, on Second Reading, are the first
step in the process of developing a framework for shared mobility E-scooters, along with a parallel
process to develop a request for proposal.

14. Items Relating to Electrical Assisted Bicycles. (Adopted on First Reading)
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2019, Enacting a Temporary Exemption from Certain
Restrictions in Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Allow Electrical Assisted
Bicycles on Paved Trails in City Natural Area and Recreation Areas.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2019, Amending Section 2106(2)(d) of the Fort Collins Traffic
Code Relating to Electrical Assisted Bicycles.
The purpose of this item is to present two Ordinances for Council consideration to implement a one-
year pilot period to allow Class 1 and Class 2 electrical assisted bicycles (“e-bikes”) on City paved
trails. In response to the growing popularity of e-bikes across the country, and the benefits e-bikes
can provide to individuals and communities in terms of health, mobility, and environmental
sustainability, staff recommends adoption of Ordinances allowing the use of Class 1 and Class 2 e-
bikes on paved trails through a one-year pilot program. E-bikes are allowed on paved trails in most
Colorado communities, including neighboring jurisdictions of Larimer County, Boulder County,
Loveland, Longmont and Boulder. Eight Fort Collins City boards and commissions have voted in favor
of a pilot program to allow e-bikes on paved trails in Fort Collins. In addition to the two Ordinances
relating to the e-bike pilot program, an Ordinance is presented to update the City Traffic Code to
remove the outdated term “motorized bicycle”.
Paul Sizemore, FC Moves Director, stated this item would launch a one-year pilot program to
allow electric-assist bicycles on paved trails within the city.
Tessa Greegor, FC Bikes Program Manager, stated the first ordinance under consideration relates
to the proposed E-bike pilot program allowing Class I and II E-bikes on paved trails for a one-year
pilot program. The second ordinance would replace the term “motorized bicycle” with the term
“low-power scooter” in the City's Traffic Code.
Greegor stated Class I and II E-bikes provide electric assistance up to 20 miles per hour. Class I
E-bikes require the rider to be pedaling to get the assist where as class II E-bikes do not have that
requirement. Most Colorado municipalities allow E-bikes on paved trails and discussed the
recommendation made by the Bicycle Advisory Committee and Transportation Board.
Additionally, all other boards and commissions which have evaluated the proposal have
recommended support for the pilot project, with the exception of the Land Conservation and
Stewardship Board which suggested the pilot program only apply to class I E-bikes and not on
trails in Natural Areas and the Commission on Disability which did not support the pilot.
Greegor discussed the planned evaluation methods and stated staff would return with a summary
of that data prior to the expiration of the trial period.
Josh Kerson stated he builds E-bikes and discussed their recent rise in popularity, noting they are
available in some form at nearly every bike shop in town. The City needs to embrace these
emerging technologies and supported the ordinances.
Rich Stave questioned various aspects of E-bike use including the lack of insurance and license
requirements and the lack of reporting locations for negative interactions. He stated the allowed
speed is too high.
Councilmember Gutowsky asked how fast a regular cyclist can go. Greegor replied the average
speed is 12 miles per hour; however, a cyclist can go much faster than that on a regular bike.

Councilmember Gutowsky asked if the E-bikes would top out at 20 miles per hour. Greegor
replied that is the miles per hour at which the electric assistance ceases, though they can go faster.
She stated staff is planning to utilize speed snapshots of traditional bike users and E-bike users
during the pilot project.
Councilmember Gutowsky expressed concern about the speeds and asked if the E-bikes make
noise. Greegor replied they are typically relatively quiet.
Councilmember Martinez stated he uses an electric bike and traditional bikes pass him all the time.
He stated the majority of users seem to be older riders who use the electric assist to get up hills.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to adopt Ordinance
No. 045, 2019, as amended to remove class II E-bikes, on First Reading.
Councilmember Martinez stated he would not support the motion excluding class II.
Councilmember Cunniff stated any user who must have assistance can already use a class II E-
bike. He stated it would be easier to start the pilot smaller and expand.
Councilmember Stephens asked if someone has to prove a disability. Sizemore replied verbal
statements from riders are accepted.
Councilmember Martinez asked if there have been issues with crashes in other communities.
Greegor replied other communities that conducted pilot programs did not have crashes reported.
Councilmember Summers asked how class I E-bikes can be differentiated from class II. Greegor
replied they are required to be labeled; however, that may be difficult to see. It could be obvious
if someone is not pedaling and is still receiving electric assistance.
Councilmember Summers stated he did not see the need for an ordinance and supported allowing
both types of E-bikes.
Councilmember Martinez made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Summers, to amend the
motion to include class II E-bikes.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted not all accidents may get reported and discussed the already crowded
trails. He questioned the plan to collect pre-data based on the fact the ordinance would not go into
effect until April 26 and the pilot is to start May 1.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would not support the amendment and questioned support of
the original motion as individuals who need the E-bikes can already use them.
Mayor Troxell stated he would support the amendment and stated bike safety and etiquette are
more important than the kind of bike.
Councilmember Stephens expressed concern individuals may not necessarily have a disability but
may need the electric assistance and asked if data regarding buyers' ages exists. Greegor replied
she would need to collect that data.
Councilmember Martinez opposed rangers asking riders if they are disabled.

The vote on the amendment was as follows: Yeas: Gutowsky, Stephens, Martinez, Summers and
Troxell. Nays: Cunniff and Horak.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would not support the motion with class II E-bikes included and
expressed concern about adding an increasing number of motorized vehicles to the trail system,
which was adopted as a recreational system.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted all E-bikes can be used on streets. He asked why there has not been
an online survey prior to the pilot. Greegor replied the primary instrument proposed to be used
prior to the implementation of the pilot are trail intercept surveys. She stated an online survey
could be utilized.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak questioned how data collected during the pilot project could be usefully
compared to data collected prior to the pilot. Greegor replied the trail intercept survey is designed
to be the more robust survey with data being collected at key locations prior to the pilot project
and again during the pilot project at the same locations. She stated the online survey during the
pilot is intended to be brief.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted the Commission on Disability was opposed to this and expressed
concern about the number of people on trails and the speeds.

These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 5, 2019, modify the current air
pollution nuisance Code provision to make it more enforceable for smoke impacts from outdoor
residential wood fires. Code changes proposed include decriminalization, a curfew and a property line
setback for outdoor wood burning. Between First and Second Reading, staff reviewed and revised the
wording of the new Code language and clarifying changes are noted in the Ordinance. Additionally,
resources in the form of an 0.25 FTE increase, are being requested to support education, outreach
and compliance with the Code.
Deputy City Manager Jeff Mihelich stated this item, if adopted on Second Reading, would allow
the decriminalization of outdoor nuisance burning, instate a 25-foot property line setback, and
establish a 10 PM curfew.
Cassie Archuleta, Environmental Services, detailed the proposed property line setback and
possible options for 24-hour response, including a fire and police response and after-hours code
compliance staff.
Penny Laviolette objected to the 10 PM curfew, stating outdoor evening fires provide valuable
experiences.
Rich Stave stated the 25-foot setback could be too restrictive and questioned why there are not
similar restrictions on barbeques.
Adam Eggleston stated anecdotal evidence he has heard involves not changing regulations and
increasing communication. He questioned what type of dialogue has occurred with police and fire
regarding possible code violation response.
Margit Hentschel discussed the Fort Collins air quality forum during which wood smoke statistics
were discussed and indicated exposure to one campfire for an hour is equivalent to inhaling 600
cigarettes. She requested a minimum 15-foot setback, a ban on burning during high-pollution
days, and 24-hour enforcement.
Councilmember Cunniff asked about the status of the high-pollution day issue. Archuleta replied
this would be more related to a particle pollution day, and the proposal is to offer outreach for
voluntary compliance.
Councilmember Martinez expressed concern that the 25-foot setback is too restrictive and stated
an 11 PM curfew is more reasonable.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to adopt Ordinance
No. 042, 2019, as amended to change the 25-foot setback to 15 feet, on Second Reading.
Councilmember Cunniff stated the rights of people to enjoy outdoor fires do not trump the rights
of residents to enjoy their property smoke-free. An earlier curfew makes sense in order to allow
residents without air conditioning to open windows. He supported option 2.
Councilmember Martinez asked how many complaints were issued in 2018. Archuleta replied
there were approximately 120.
Councilmember Martinez asked what time of day most fires were dealt with by the Poudre Fire
Authority. Tom DeMint, Poudre Fire Authority Chief, replied most are at night, anecdotally;
however, he did not have exact data.

Councilmember Stephens stated she supported the 15-foot setback due to the map showing 25-
foot setbacks are restrictive.
Councilmember Stephens asked if there are some City resources for neighbor mitigation.
Archuleta replied there is a free neighborhood mediation service, which is part of the outreach for
this issue.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted this is about ensuring the residents who are not burning solid wood
are not adversely affected and the voluntary system has not worked.

17. Resolution 2019-037 Setting a Time Frame and Giving Policy Direction Regarding the
Consideration of Digital Billboard Regulations. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to establish a time frame for City Council to hear an ordinance regarding
Digital Billboard Regulations.
Tom Leeson, Community Development and Neighborhood Services Director, stated this
Resolution sets a time frame and policy direction regarding digital billboards.
Noah Beals, Senior City Planner, detailed the contents of the Resolution and noted digital billboard
regulations were separated from the Sign Code update in order to allow additional consideration
of those regulations. The proposed time frame would place an ordinance before Council on digital
billboard regulations by September 3
rd
, and within that time, public outreach would occur. The
ordinance would include a replacement ratio and identify a public process for reviewing a digital
billboard application.
Rich Stave discussed the size of digital billboards and stated there should be a limit on brightness
intensity and motion.
Sarah Mercer, counsel for Lamar Advertising, thanked staff for working on this project and
supported the Resolution.
John Walker questioned who determines what static billboards are being removed and whether
they have to be completely down prior to digital billboards being constructed. He also questioned
how billboard leases are being dealt with.
Councilmember Gutowsky stated this appears to be rushed and requested information as to the
history of the item.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak replied Council has been dealing with this issue for eight years. The City
purchasing billboards has been the only way they have been eliminated and that is an expensive
undertaking.
Councilmember Martinez requested staff take Mr. Walker's comments into account in their
research.
Councilmember Cunniff expressed concern about the directive to bring back an ordinance given
the new Council will want to create its own work plan.

The purpose of this item is to consider a City-initiated request to rezone 467 acres into an expanded
Downtown (D) zone district and to amend interrelated Land Use Code sections that together address
design standards for Downtown and the Neighborhood Conservation Buffer (“NCB”) transition areas
that interface between downtown and the predominantly single-family housing within the Old Town
Neighborhoods.
Cameron Gloss, Long-Range Planning Manager, stated these two actions would help implement
the 2017 Downtown and Old Town Neighborhoods Plans. The first expands the footprint of the
Downtown (D) District to coincide closely with the Downtown Development Authority boundary.
There are currently three sub-districts within the Downtown and the expanded area will have nine
sub-districts that reflect unique character in each area. The character of the streets themselves
crosses the boundaries of all sub-districts.
Gloss discussed the public process and board and commissions input. One of the main points of
contention was building heights. He detailed the proposed building heights and contextual step
backs.
Gloss discussed the proposed changes for the Neighborhood Conservation Buffer (NCB) District
which provides the transition between the Downtown and single-family portions of Old Town
neighborhoods.
Mayor Troxell noted part of this item is quasi-judicial and will be considered per those
requirements.
City Attorney Daggett suggested Council could opt to suspend the rules and move straight to the
normal process for taking public testimony and moving forward.
Mayor Troxell did not receive any objection from Councilmembers to move forward as normal.
Eric Sutherland discussed various aspects of the development review process and stated it does
not work for the people who live here.
Mark Williams, Downtown Development Authority Board of Directors, supported the proposed
changes.
Matt Robenault, Downtown Development Authority Executive Director, supported the proposed
changes and thanked City leadership and staff for providing a community engagement process
during the development of these amendments.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Martinez, to adopt Ordinance
No. 057, 2019, on First Reading.

Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement for Water Treatment Service Capacity
Between the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, and the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District.
(Adopted on Second Reading)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 5, 2019, amends the existing
agreement signed in 2013 between the City and the Fort Collins–Loveland Water District (FCLWD)
concerning FCLWD’s acquisition of 5 million gallons per day of water treatment capacity at the City’s
Water Treatment Facility. The proposed amendment to the 2013 Agreement will allow for FCLWD to
make an early payment of the entire outstanding principal associated with the financing of the Plant
Investment Fee.
The City, FCLWD, and their respective enterprises were all parties to the 2013 Agreement. The
amendment thus likewise must be approved by both City Council and the City of Fort Collins Water
Utility Enterprise Board. The FCLWD Board and the FCLWD Enterprise Board approved the proposed
amendment on Tuesday, February 19, 2019.

purchasing process for the purchase of video content licensing and services, as needed for delivery
of video services by Fort Collins Connexion. To provide video services, Fort Collins Connexion must

No. 051, 2019, on First Reading.

correct and bundled service is key.

Adjourned Meeting – 6:00 PM
• ROLL CALL

Staff Present: Atteberry, Daggett, Coldiron
1. Resolution 2019-039 Approving a Construction and Purchase Agreement for Condominium
Units Consisting of Two Floors of a New Water Laboratory Building to be Constructed by RMI2
Properties, LLC at the Innosphere Site on East Vine Drive. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to request approval of a Construction and Purchase Agreement (“C&P
Agreement”) pursuant to which the City’s Water and Wastewater Utilities will acquire condominium
units consisting of two floors containing approximately 17,600 gross square feet (the “City Units”) of a
new water laboratory building containing approximately 26,764 gross square feet (the “new building”)
to be constructed by RMI2 Properties, LLC (“RMI2” or “Developer”) at the RMI2 site located at 320
East Vine Drive (“Innosphere”).
Utilities currently operates two separate laboratories which are in separate buildings and which have
not been significantly renovated since the 1980s. Costs associated with construction and acquisition
of the new City Units are currently estimated based on conceptual plans at approximately $11.5 million,
plus equipment for the City Units and decommissioning cost for a total of $13.5 million, to be split
evenly between the Water Fund and the Wastewater Fund.
The proposal for the New Building in partnership with RMI2 stems from the completion of a laboratory
master plan funded in the 2017/2018 Budgeting for Outcomes (“BFO”) process. Construction of a new
facility is currently included in the Utilities Capital Improvement Plan (“CIP”). Funding for preliminary
design of the facility is included in the 2019/2020 City Council adopted budget.
Carol Webb, Water Resources and Treatment Director, stated this project involves a state-of-the-
art lab facility to be constructed in partnership with RMI2, or Innosphere. The project involves
future funding appropriations of approximately $10.5 million from the water and wastewater
funds. The project is located at 320 East Vine on a parcel just west of the current Innosphere
facility.
Webb stated a master plan completed in 2018 concluded a new facility was needed to meet City
objectives for laboratory space and a partnership with Innosphere met all objectives at a lower
cost. The partnership is in the form of a construction and purchase agreement to design and
construct a facility with three separate condominium units with the City's units on the first and
second floors. The City has the option to purchase the third unit in eight years.
Eric Sutherland stated this does not comply with the City Charter in terms of competitive bidding;
sub-contracting is not what was intended to be competitive per that provision. He opposed the
initial City participation in the Innosphere project.
Rich Stave discussed the Water Board's dialogue related to this item and brought up questions
asked by Boardmembers.

Councilmember Martinez asked how the lease would end. Webb replied this is an ownership
model; therefore, the City will own its two units once a certificate of occupancy is issued. The
City could sell its two units in the future.
Councilmember Cunniff requested a staff response to the Water Board questions. Webb replied
one of the questions was related to the location of the facility compared to the two treatment
facilities. She noted this laboratory primarily focuses on finish water testing and this location
provides better access to sample sites. Demolition costs are part of the estimates.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if the funds are currently available in reserves. Webb replied in
the affirmative.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if there is a scheduling advantage to working with Innospere.
Webb replied in the affirmative.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak asked about the Charter provision mentioned by Mr. Sutherland. Judy
Schmidt, Senior Assistant City Attorney, replied the Charter provision is intended to cover
provisions in which the City hires a contractor to build a city improvement; this will not be a city
improvement until the units are purchased.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested the inclusion of a whereas clause to address the issue. City
Attorney Daggett replied staff may want to return April 16 with a resolution addressing the
$400,000 obligation.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he cannot support this item.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to adopt Resolution
2019-039.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted this provides a timing advantage and monetary savings. He expressed
concern about parking but supported the project overall.
Councilmember Stephens stated this is the best option for the cost and therefore the best option for
rate payers.
Councilmember Gutowsky stated she will support the motion given the cost effectiveness of the
project and ability to include the City's goals in construction.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he does not completely trust the cost/benefit analysis and expressed
concern this has been rushed. City Manager Atteberry replied the need for this facility has been
documented for several years; however, there has been some need to move forward due to work
that has already occurred on Innosphere's part.
Councilmember Cunniff agreed with the master plan and benefits of owning a lab; however, he
suggested a short-term program could be utilized while other alternatives are considered.
City Manager Atteberry stated the partnership and collaboration aspects are important.

4. Possible Motion Directing the City Attorney on Next Steps Related to Litigation Regarding the
City’s Public Nudity Ordinance. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is for Council to provide possible direction to the City Attorney on the next
steps she should take related to pending litigation challenging the City’s public nudity ordinance.
Rich Stave questioned recreational aspects of nudity and stated freedom of assembly is important
to preserve.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to authorize and
direct the City Attorney to take initial steps to preserve the City's right to seek review by the U.S.
Supreme Court of the U.S. 10
th
Circuit Court of Appeals recent decision on the City's public nudity
litigation while also exploring settlement of the litigation and continuing with the litigation if no
settlement is reached.
Councilmember Martinez stated he would support the motion despite his opinion this is postponing
an issue this Council should be addressing.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak disagreed and stated this is keeping options open for the next Council.
Councilmember Stephens stated she would not support the motion as she does not want to spend
City funds to further pursue litigation.
Councilmember Summers commented there are several states under the 10
th
Circuit Court of
Appeals; therefore, this decision will have far reaching impacts.
Councilmember Gutowsky supported taking extra time to consider options.

Mayor Troxell reintroduced the item per the motion to table.
City Attorney Daggett presented new Resolution language which documents Council's concern
about the procurement process, that the agreement requires the developer to use competitive
bidding for sub-contracts and materials, discusses the relationship of the Charter to the larger real

process.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak and Councilmember Stephens accepted the language as part of the main

20. Resolution 2019-044 Approving a Cooperation Agreement Between the City and the Fort
Collins Urban Renewal Authority for Sharing the City's Property and sales tax Increment Under
the College & Drake Urban Renewal Plan. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to present a Cooperation Agreement to City Council describing the City’s
incremental property and sales tax revenue contribution to be allocated to the proposed Drake and
College Urban Renewal Plan. The Agreement provides the terms and conditions associated with the
City contributing incremental revenue to achieve the objectives of the Plan. It is proposed for this Plan
that the City contribute 100 percent of its incremental property tax revenue and 50 percent of the net
new incremental sales tax revenue associated with the current general fund rate of 2.25 percent.
However, this sales tax increment will be reduced by $405,000 to take into account that a nearby
grocery store is to be relocated to the Plan area. The amount of this reduction is an average of the
annual sales tax the City collects from the grocery stores and super-centers in the City.

• DISCUSSION ITEMS
21. Items Relating to Electrical Assisted Bicycles. (Adopted on Second Reading)
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2019, Enacting a Temporary Exemption from Certain
Restrictions in Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Allow Electrical Assisted
Bicycles on Paved Trails in City Natural Area and Recreation Areas.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2019, Amending Section 2106(2)(d) of the Fort Collins
Traffic Code Relating to Electrical Assisted Bicycles.
Ordinance No. 045, 2019, adopted on First Reading on March 19, 2019 by a vote of 6-1 (Nays:
Cunniff) implements a one-year pilot period to allow Class 1 and Class 2 electrical assisted bicycles
(e-bikes) on City paved trails. Ordinance No. 041, 2019, unanimously adopted on First Reading,
updates the City Traffic Code to remove the outdated term “motorized bicycle”.
In response to the growing popularity of e-bikes across the country, and the benefits e-bikes can
provide to individuals and communities in terms of health, mobility, and environmental sustainability,
staff recommends adoption of Ordinances allowing the use of Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes on paved
trails through a one-year pilot program. E-bikes are allowed on paved trails in most Colorado
communities, including neighboring jurisdictions of Larimer County, Boulder County, Loveland,
Longmont and Boulder. Eight Fort Collins City boards and commissions have voted in favor of a pilot
program to allow e-bikes on paved trails in Fort Collins.
Eric Sutherland stated Councilmembers continuously fail to abide by laws as members of Council.
Rich Stave thanked Councilmembers for their service and expressed concern relating to there being
no age limits, demonstration of competence, or liability requirements for E-bike users. E-bikes
already have the use of bike lanes and public streets.
Councilmember Cunniff stated no members of Council have violated the law. Mr. Sutherland's
assertions of lawlessness are baseless.
Councilmember Martinez made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Summers, to adopt
Ordinance No. 045, 2019, on Second Reading.

22. Items Relating to Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements. (Adopted on
First Reading)
A. Resolution 2019-047 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid
Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2019 Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Direct
Mixed Construction and Demolition Materials to the Future Larimer County Construction and
Demolition Waste Processing Facility, Upon Its Completion.
The purpose of this item is to consider joining an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Larimer
County and other Regional Wasteshed Coalition partners for solid waste infrastructure proposed in a
2018 Larimer County Master Plan (Resolution 2019-047), and consider an ordinance directing all
mixed loads of construction and demolition waste to a future County-owned sorting facility, once that
facility is built (Ordinance No. 063, 2019).
The proposed intergovernmental agreement with Larimer County provides a framework for
collaboration between the parties that can lead to future infrastructure development. The agreement
does not obligate the City to enact any specific policies and consideration of local diversion measures
will be based on established principles of stakeholder engagement for innovation. Larimer County is
obligated under the IGA to fund and construct new facilities if enough recyclable/compostable material
is expected to reach them. Adopting the recommended building code changes would cause Larimer
County to begin development of a sorting/recycling facility for construction and demolition waste.
Jackie Kozak-Thiel, Chief Sustainability Officer, stated this item represents three years of work
on the regional wasteshed effort, which began with the impending closure of the only publicly-
owned landfill in northern Colorado. She thanked Mayor Troxell and Councilmember Cunniff for
their work on the Policy Advisory Committee.
Kozak-Thiel stated there are two items for Council consideration: a resolution that would execute
the intergovernmental agreement which represents the final product of this process and a policy
that would direct mixed loads of construction and demolition debris to a future facility to be built
by Larimer County.

Honoré Depew, Project Manager, discussed the process that has resulted in a master plan for solid
waste infrastructure that was adopted by Larimer County last December. He stated five facilities
are recommended in the first tier of the master plan: a new County landfill to be located in the
north part of the County, a central transfer station to continue receiving trash from residents and
businesses, composting facilities for yard trimmings and food scraps, and a construction and
demolition waste processing and sorting facility.
Depew detailed the action items before Council. He noted the Building Code relating to
construction and demolition debris would change now; however, it would not become effective
until the facility is open. The regulation would apply to the same size of projects as does the
current Building Code requiring the separation of four recyclable materials: metal, wood,
cardboard, and aggregates. The new system would be an all-in-one bin approach which is expected
to lower net costs for builders.
Depew noted Larimer County and the City of Loveland have adopted the intergovernmental
agreement (IGA), Estes Park is considering it next week, and Wellington is anticipating
considering it in the future. He outlined the public involvement process and stated all boards and
commissions that provided feedback endorsed the changes. Depew noted all private collection
services in the community are critical partners for future solutions and stated seven meetings were
held exclusively with haulers to work through their concerns, including future impacts of transfer
truck traffic and a suggestion to continue using the current landfill with an expansion to the south.
Depew stated the City's traffic engineers have assessed the proposed travel routes and determined
the increased traffic to be nominal and there are various reasons the current landfill cannot continue
to be used.
Alan Braslau, Fort Collins Sustainability Group, supported adoption of these items citing their
importance in moving toward the City's climate action goals.
Rich Stave expressed concern about extra truck traffic.
Nancy DuTeau supported adoption of these items.
Victoria Halligan supported adoption of these items as important steps to achieve the 2020 goal of
75% diversion.
Kevin Henry, Fort Collins Sustainability Group, commended Mayor Pro Tem Horak on his service
and supported adoption of these items.
Nancy York supported adoption of these items.
Dave Nebble supported adoption of these items noting there is no capital expenditure for the City.
Brian Woodruff supported adoption of these items.
Kevin Cross acknowledged Mayor Pro Tem Horak and Councilmember Martinez for their service
and supported adoption of these items.
Mayor Troxell stated the meeting requested by trash haulers was related to basic concerns about
truck traffic and some assumptions built in to the current landfill. Questions were answered and
he noted the haulers are supportive of the City's goals. Councilmember Cunniff concurred.

Councilmember Summers stated the city's haulers are committed to environmental concerns and
some of their concerns were related to changes not being in the best interest of the environment.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to adopt Resolution
2019-047.
Councilmember Martinez asked why the City's truck estimates varied from the haulers' estimates.
Depew replied the impacts were overstated in terms of the context of the other traffic trips along
those roads.
Councilmember Martinez asked if the haulers' concerns were alleviated. Kozak-Thiel replied there
may be concerns that persist around some of the elements of policies that could come later;
however, many issues were clarified and the haulers were satisfied with the outcome related to the
transfer truck routes.
Councilmember Summers asked about the plan to evaluate the effectiveness of these changes.
Deputy City Manager Mihelich replied the information is currently based on projections; however,
excellent data will be garnered once the facilities are open as all materials will be weighed.
Councilmember Gutowsky asked about the difference between demolition and deconstruction.
Depew replied deconstruction is a slower, more intentional process that leads to greater
preservation of materials.
Councilmember Gutowsky asked if there are plans to market what is gained. Depew replied the
materials that would move through the facilities will be marketed under the Larimer County Solid
Waste Enterprise Fund.
Councilmember Cunniff noted homeowner's associations have the ability to contract with a single
provider for these services.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak noted a number of the proposed routes are going through residential
neighborhoods and encouraged the use of I-25. He recognized Stephen Gilette and other County
staff for setting up an appropriate rate structure that has created a fund balance able to fund this
project.
Councilmember Stephens commented on traffic on Trilby Road and requested that is considered

23. Items relating to the Adoption of City Plan and the Transit Master Plan. (Adopted)
A. Resolution 2019-048 Adopting an Updated City Plan, the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
B. Resolution 2019-049 Adopting the Transit Master Plan.
The purpose of this item is to request adoption for two important community vision and policy
documents: City Plan and the Transit Master Plan. City Plan is Fort Collins’ comprehensive and
transportation master plan, illustrating the community’s vision for the future and providing policy and
implementation recommendations to guide development and transportation over the next twenty
years. The Transit Master Plan was developed alongside City Plan and provides more specific
information on the long-range vision and strategy for transit service in Fort Collins.
Staff will provide highlights from both plans including what is new, revised, or reemphasized as
compared to the existing version of City Plan adopted in 2011. Staff will also outline key implementation
actions and strategies recommended to support the proposed policy direction in both plans.
Laurie Kadrich, Planning, Development, and Transportation Director, thanked Council and the
community for input and support and commended staff team on its work.
Cameron Gloss, Planning Director, noted these changes eliminate the Transportation Master Plan
from being a stand-alone document, combines it with the traditional Comprehensive Plan, and
adds a companion document specifically for transit, the Transit Master Plan. He noted the number
of policies in the document was cut in half while still increasing the scope.
Gloss detailed the results of the public outreach process, stating it included a greater emphasis on
social aspects of the community. He noted two changes to the Environmental Health section:
moving Natural Areas into the category and recognizing Dark Skies protection within the category.
Gloss commended the City Plan team on its work.

Kevin Jones, Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce, recommended Council adopt City Plan
but without the recently added section on Dark Skies. He expressed concern about adding the
section without it receiving full vetting.
Cari Brown, ARC of Larimer County, a community partner in the City Plan effort, thanked Council
and staff and expressed support for the adoption of City Plan.
Nancy DuTeau commended the document and requested it be used as a roadmap to assist in making
difficult decisions related to limited resources.
Councilmember Cunniff thanked staff and the community and noted Council unanimously adopted
a resolution in 2016 expressing support for the Night Sky Initiative. He asked if that resolution
was the basis for the Dark Skies addition. Gloss replied it helped inform the policy language.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he has heard some concerns about wording being left out that might
imply a hard and fast commitment to something that is not implied. He noted the Dark Skies
certification was intended to be for natural areas only and he would be fine changing the language
as appropriate to reflect that. Gloss noted changes to the language to use words such as 'consider'
have been made.
Councilmember Martinez asked if Night Skies was always part of the City Plan discussion. Gloss
replied it was mentioned in a limited fashion in earlier drafts; however, this particular section was
only added recently.
Councilmember Martinez stated citizens have expressed concerns related to this issue and do not
think is has been vetted equally with the rest of the Plan. He suggested perhaps it should be
considered as a stand alone item as it is not a true representation of what was fully vetted.
Councilmember Stephens stated Council has discussed Night Skies and there is a web page on it.
She suggested language deemed too prescriptive could be adjusted, but she did not oppose leaving
the topic in the Plan.
Councilmember Summers stated he does not have an issue with the inclusion of the topic with
certain language changes.
Councilmember Cunniff stated changes of this scale has occurred between each of the Plan drafts
and he agreed with Councilmember Summers suggestion to strike 9D.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak discussed the equity in transportation issue and discrepancies among some
of the provided information. Paul Sizemore, FC Moves, replied the Transit Plan is very focused
on access to fixed-route and high-frequency transit and the broader City Plan discussion of equity
draws on other sources, including the 2014 Social Sustainability Gaps Analysis that looks at broad
access to transportation options and the way that can disproportionately impact vulnerable
communities. He suggested the topics could be reconciled by adding language in City Plan to refer
to the data point in the Transit Master Plan and acknowledging the high levels of access to fixed-
route and high-frequency transit in comparison to the general population.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak stated that is a good start; however, he still had issues with the discrepancy
and suggested goals need to be included rather than just generalities.

Councilmember Cunniff stated he is comfortable with the changes suggested.
Councilmember Martinez asked if the goal is to increase headway for Transfort. Aaron Iverson,
Senior Transportation Planner, replied the goal is for all routes to have headways less than 30
minutes.
Councilmember Summers asked about the affordable housing item related to zero percent of the
median income. Councilmember Cunniff replied the Housing Catalyst administers the federal
housing voucher program which can provide housing to individuals with zero income.
Councilmember Summers suggested there may be a better way to itemize the income requirement
categories. Councilmember Cunniff agreed the language could be clarified.
Gloss suggested some language changes for the income categories.
Councilmember Martinez asked about the projected cost of the three new routes. City Manager
Atteberry stated Fort Collins does develop aspirational plans without fully-funded solutions.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak suggested costs should be associated with the different levels of service.
City Manager Atteberry suggested possibly including short, mid, and long-term goals rather than
goals with specific timelines.
City Manager Atteberry stated he would like to see Council move forward with the caveat the
language is tightened up in regard to what has been discussed.
Councilmember Cunniff made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Summers, to adopt
Resolution 2019-048, adding a direction to the City Manager to make the following changes:
modifying the income qualifications on page 36, incorporating the charts from the Transit Master
Plan and adjusting the language to make it clear what the current situation is and what the actual
gaps are in Fort Collins on page 198, modifying page 237 to strike policy 9D, updating 9F to say
'consider updates to the Land Use Code,' adding 'consider pursuit of Natural Areas certification
from an independent body' and striking International Dark Sky Association or other entities, and
including the log of changes provided by staff.
Councilmember Gutowsky complimented staff and Council on their work and recognized former
Councilmember Overbeck for his work.
Councilmember Martinez stated he would support the motion but with the clear understanding he
objects to the Night Sky item being included as he feels the rest of the document is outstanding.
Councilmember Stephens thanked staff for their work and commended the ambassadors and
community partners for their assistance.
Mayor Troxell commended staff on their work and commended Council on their work this
evening.
Councilmember Cunniff commended the formation of the document.
Mayor Troxell congratulated City Manager Atteberry and the City team.

24. Public Hearing and Resolution 2019-050 Approving the Consolidated Service Plan for the
Mulberry Metropolitan District Nos. 1-6. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider approval of the Mulberry Metropolitan District
Nos. 1 through 6 Consolidated Service Plan (the “Service Plan”). The developer of the proposed
Mulberry Development has submitted the Service Plan to support the proposed development of
approximately 226 acres located in the northeast portion of the Fort Collins community near I-25 on
the Mulberry Corridor. The development is anticipated to include 1,600 residential units, up to 80,000
square feet of office, and up to 160,000 square feet of retail. The project has committed to provide 15
percent of housing units in a mix of for rent and for sale affordable housing. A mill levy capped at 50.00
mills has been proposed to support the funding of certain public improvements for the project.
As per the Council’s Metro District Policy, proceedings for a public hearing for a Metro District public
hearing are as follows:
1. Announcement of item;
2. Consideration of procedural issues (if any);
3. Explanation of the application by City staff;
4. Presentation by the applicant (15 minutes);
5. Public testimony regarding the application;
6. Rebuttal testimony by the applicant;
7. Councilmember questions of City staff and the applicant; and
8. Motion, discussion and vote by City Council.
Mayor Troxell outlined the hearing process.
Landon Hoover introduced himself as the applicant.
Josh Birks, Economic Health Director, introduced Rachel Rogers as a new member of Economic
Health. He discussed the timeline of this metro district application, noting the election for this
metro district will not occur until November. The metro district will have over 1,600 residential
units and is expected to take nine or ten years to fully develop out. The applicant has committed

to providing 15% affordable units, 40 of which will be for sale and 200 of which will be apartments
for rent, and a certain amount of solar.
Birks discussed the public benefits of the project, including a non-potable water system and
landscape design to encourage pollinator quarters. He stated the City's policy includes two major
protections for City citizens: that no debt mill can be used until a development agreement or
intergovernmental agreement is approved by City Council that secures the public benefits
described in the service plan and, if that agreement is not reached within three years, Council may,
at its choice, begin the proceedings to dissolve the district, requiring the process to start over. Birks
stated staff recommends adoption of this resolution.
Mr. Hoover, Hartford Homes, supported the City's efforts to annex the East Mulberry corridor and
stated his project can provide a gateway and set a standard for redevelopment along the corridor.
He discussed the other projects his company has completed in the area noting his goal is to use
innovation to attain affordability; however, he stated his company is struggling to deliver this
project at 100% AMI and a significant shift to the cost structure is necessary to make the
development affordable. He stated the metro district helps accomplish this.
Councilmember Cunniff commended the changes made resulting from the Finance Committee's
evaluation. He asked if the median mil levy cost is approximately $100 a month. Birks replied in
the affirmative and stated there are monthly costs ranging from just over $30 a month to
approximately $150 a month. He noted affordable units are priced to include all principal, interest,
taxes and insurance; therefore, the maximum sales price inside a metro district is lower than it
would be outside a metro district.
Councilmember Cunniff asked if the Habitat for Humanity participation is unique. Birks replied
other metro districts have not had an agreement with Habitat secured at the time of service plan
approval.
Councilmember Cunniff expressed concern about the 50 mils and asked about options that include
a contract for land bank reservation of acreage. Birks replied a sale to the land bank requires its
use for affordable housing unless Council makes an exception. He also noted those questions must
have firmer answers prior to the development agreement coming before Council.
Mr. Hoover noted this property is in a qualified census tract for HUD financing, which allows for
tax credits. The property is also an opportunity zone that can spur investment dollars and noted
the intent is to provide the affordable units through a private party using those opportunities.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he will have a standing concern related to the assurance of
delivering on affordable housing outcomes.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stephens, to adopt Resolution
2019-050.
Councilmember Stephens thanked the Finance Committee for increasing the affordable component
to 15%. She stated a metro district that is helping achieve housing affordability goals is important.
Councilmember Martinez agreed.
Mayor Troxell thanked Mr. Hoover and stated the project will be impactful for the Mulberry
corridor and affordable housing in the community.

25. Resolution 2019-051 Approving a Development Agreement to Secure Public Benefits for
Development of the Waterfield Fourth Filing. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to approve the Waterfield Development Agreement to Secure Public
Benefits (the “Development Agreement”), in accordance with the Consolidated Service Plan for
Waterfield Metropolitan Districts Nos. 1-3, approved by City Council on September 18, 2018 (the
“Service Plan”). Staff has completed its review of the Development Agreement to ensure it conforms
to the Service Plan.
Josh Birks, Economic Health Director, stated this item relates to a development agreement that
would secure the public benefits described in the Waterfield service plan that was approved by
Council last September. He stated the project is near Timberline and Vine, consists of 500 units
with 50 affordable units, and various community benefits. He stated the development agreement
has limitations on when permits can be issued and when certificates of occupancy can be issued
based on the performance of the developer against the items that were promised in the service plan.
Birks stated the development agreement conforms with the public benefits that were outlined in
the service plan and adopted last September; therefore, staff is recommending adoption of the
resolution.
Lucia Liley, Waterfield counsel, requested support of the resolution.
Eric Sutherland questioned how the terms of the development agreement are enforceable.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak requested staff respond to Mr. Sutherland's question. John Duvall, Deputy
City Attorney, replied the development agreement is constructed so that there are triggers for
satisfying requirements before a certain number of permits would be granted.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Martinez, to adopt Resolution
2019-051.
Councilmember Cunniff asked about legally enforceable reservation of lots. Duvall replied
building permits will not be issued unless requirements can be satisfied relating to affordable units
being affordable.

Councilmember Cunniff expressed concern a number of lots could be set aside resulting in zero
affordable units. Birks replied that is not staff's intent, nor the developer's intent and noted the lots
will have to be developed at some point in the future as affordable.
Councilmember Martinez requested Ms. Liley make a clarifying point. Ms. Liley replied the main
intention is for the developer to actually develop these lots; however, this is an attempt to provide
some alternative arrangements as affordable housing is difficult. The intent of the restrictive
covenant is to ensure these lots are developed only as affordable housing when the timing is
appropriate.

of Fort Collins to Add an Exception to the Competitive Purchasing Process for Purchases of
Video Content Licensing. (Adopted on Second Reading)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 19, 2019, amends City Code to
create a limited exception to the competitive bid and purchasing process for the purchase of video
content licensing and services, as needed for delivery of video services by Fort Collins Connexion. To
provide video services, Fort Collins Connexion must secure license agreements with local channels,
national networks, and independent content producers. While most video content will be acquired
through membership in the National Cable Television Cooperative (NCTC), there are some channels,
groups of channels, and networks that will require direct individual license negotiations.
Eric Sutherland questioned the City's marketing efforts for Connexion stating cost is the most
important aspect. He questioned why private label video content services are being considered.

No. 051, 2019, on Second Reading.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $667,926, of which $240,792 is proposed for 2019 Cultural
Development and Programming Activities (Fort Fund), $28,558 is proposed for 2019 Tourism Programming (Fort

Unanticipated Revenue (Lodging Tax) and Prior Year Reserves (unspent appropriations) in the General Fund
Lodging Tax Reserves.
Lodging taxes are annually collected by the City of Fort Collins for Cultural Development and Tourism
programming activities. Anticipated revenue is projected through each Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) cycle
and then adjusted annually as needed based on actual collections. Lodging tax revenue collected in 2018 was
$569,394 above projected collections.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Section 25-44 of the City Code requires that 75% of the total lodging tax receipts be used for the promotion of
convention and visitor activities in the City and 25% of receipts be used for cultural development and
programming activities in the City. Actual revenue collected is appropriated based on this allocation formula and
any excess revenue and budget savings are reserved for these activities in the General Fund.
Pursuant to a contract with the Fort Collins Convention and Visitors Bureau (FCCVB), the City has paid a portion
of lodging tax receipts to the FCCVB since 2011 for delivery of convention and visitors programming services in
furtherance of the City Code requirement. The amount due for convention and visitors programming is
appropriated based on prior year receipts and paid annually to FCCVB after the close of the prior tax year.
When actual lodging tax receipts exceed the anticipated amount appropriated for cultural development and
programming activities, the City also appropriates additional funds and adjusts the amount allocated for those
activities in the year following the year in which the tax is collected. Appropriated lodging tax revenues remaining
unspent at the end of the tax year lapse into the General Fund and may be appropriated the following year for
the same purposes as they were originally appropriated.

Item # 11 Page 2
The actual tax revenue collected during the 2018 tax year, as determined March 2019, was $569,394 more than
the Lodging tax revenue anticipated and appropriated for expenditure in 2018. Accordingly, upward adjustments
to the 2019 appropriations under Section 25-44 of the City Code are required. In addition, Budget staff has
recommended unspent appropriations for convention and visitor activities and cultural development and
programming activities that lapsed into the General Fund in 2018 be re-appropriated in 2019 for the same
purposes as originally appropriated. These appropriation adjustments are described below.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 060, 2019, Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations
for the Suniga Road Improvements Project and Related Art in Public Places.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $170,550 into the Capital Project Fund for the Suniga Road
Improvements Project. The City collected these funds as payment in lieu for a development’s local street
frontage improvements associated with Suniga Road. In addition, this item will authorize the transfer of $1,705,
one percent of the appropriated funds, from the Capital Project Fund to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund
for Art in Public Places.
This project will construct Suniga Road to the City’s four-lane arterial roadway standards between North College
Avenue and Blondel Street as identified on the City’s Master Street Plan. Improvements include raised,
protected bike lanes, pedestrian facilities, transit facilities, utility infrastructure, roadway improvements, and
landscaped medians and parkways. The project will complement the existing section of Suniga Road, providing
connectivity for surrounding developments from North College Avenue to Redwood Street. This project was
approved during the 2017/2018 Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process and will be constructed this year.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Suniga Road Improvements Project was initiated in 2017 as a result of receiving community support and
funding as part of the 2017/2018 BFO process. This project will extend the existing segment of Suniga Road
from Blondel Street to North College Avenue, providing significant multimodal and vehicular connectivity to the
City’s roadway network. Planned improvements include:
Raised, protected bike lanes
Pedestrian facilities
Landscaped parkways
Two lanes of travel in both directions
Raised, landscaped medians
Utility infrastructure improvements
Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring 2019, and completed in late summer 2019.
The total project budget is $3.8M, with $2.2M being awarded through the 2017/2018 Budgeting for Outcomes
(BFO) process. An additional $1.5M of Transportation Capital Expansion Fund (TCEF) and Transportation

Reserves was appropriated as part of Ordinance No. 079, 2018. The use of TCEF funds to support this project
is appropriate as the project will increase the vehicular and multimodal capacity within the North Fort Collins
area.
In certain cases, the City will have an opportunity to partner with development to construct roadway segments
benefitting both the City and the developer. If the City has a planned project which will improve a development’s
frontage, the City will collect a payment in lieu of construction from the developer. The amount collected is the
anticipated cost to construct the local street frontage. This item will appropriate $170,550 in unanticipated
revenue, collected as payment in lieu from the Crowne at Old Town North development for its local street
frontage within the project limits.
Per City Code Section 23-304, all appropriations for construction projects estimated to cost over $250,000 shall
include an amount equal to one percent of the estimated cost for works of art. The total Art in Public Places
funds to be appropriated is $1,705. This item will transfer $1,330 of the TCEF appropriations to the Art in Public
Places Program. Staff has identified the Transportation Reserves as a means to provide the additional $375
needed to provide long-term maintenance for the art.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This action will appropriate $170,550 into the Capital Projects Fund-Suniga Road Improvements Project. In
addition, $1,705 will be transferred from the Capital Projects Fund into the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund
for Art in Public Places.
The following is a summary of funds to be appropriated with this action:
Prior Appropriated Funds
2017/2018 Budgeting for Outcomes

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The Downtown River District (River District) encompasses an area bordered by Jefferson Street to the west,
North College Avenue to the southwest, Lincoln Street to the southeast, and the Poudre River to the northeast.
The River District can be described as the historic center of Fort Collins, with the original Fort Collins military
post established near Linden Street and Willow Street in 1864. At the same time, the River District serves as a
culturally significant link to Old Town and the Poudre River for various housing, retail, and mixed-use
developments.
In 2009, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) awarded the City federal funds to design, acquire
rights-of-way, and possibly construct improvements along Jefferson Street between North College Avenue and
the Jefferson Street/Mountain Avenue intersection. Recognizing a partnering opportunity to improve the River
District, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) allocated an additional $500,000 toward the project. The
DDA funds were specific to the River District and were intended for constructing improvements. The City
completed preliminary engineering plans in 2018, utilizing only $65,000 of the DDA funds.
The City, utilizing $245,000 of new DDA funds, initiated the Willow Street Improvements Project’s conceptual
design phase in 2014. Shortly thereafter, the project was awarded $3,432,000 through the City’s Community
Capital Improvements Program (CCIP) tax initiative. To further support the project, the DDA expressed
interested in repositioning the $435,000 allocated to the Jefferson Street Improvements to the Willow Street

Improvements. This item will appropriate the previously committed $435,000 of DDA funds to the Willow Street
Improvements Project (the “Developer Contributions”).
Several parcels along Willow Street have either developed or initiated development. Per the Municipal Code, a
Developer is responsible for the local street access frontage adjacent to his or her parcel. If the City has a
planned project which will improve frontages in advance of development, the City will collect a payment in lieu
of construction from the Developer. The amount collected is the anticipated cost to construct the local street
frontage. This item will also appropriate $40,364 from Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) Reserves,
previously collected from developments within the project limits, as payments in lieu for local street access
frontages.
Staff has nearly completed the design, hired a General Contractor through an alternate project delivery process,
and anticipates construction to begin in summer, 2019. The total project budget is $4.3M; including the DDA
and Developer Contributions to be appropriated as part of this action. Planned improvements include:
On-street parking
Significant urban design, landscaping, and public art improvements
10-foot sidewalk
5-foot amenity zone dedicated to bike racks, pedestrian scale lighting, and street lights
Two travel lanes
Dedicated bike lanes
Dedicated transit stops
Pedestrian plaza at the northern corner of Willow Street and Linden Street.
Per City Code Section 24-304, all appropriations for construction projects estimated to cost over $250,000 shall
include an amount equal to one percent of the estimated cost for works of art. The total Art in Public Places
funds to be appropriated is $4,755. This item will transfer $316 of the TCEF appropriations to the Art in Public
Places Program. The additional $4,439 will be funded through Transportation Reserves; providing the full art
contribution of $4,350 for the DDA funds and the remaining contribution of $89 for the TCEF funds.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This action will appropriate $479,803 into the Capital Projects Fund - Willow Street Improvements Project. In
addition, $4,755 will be transferred from the Capital Projects Fund into the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund
for Art in Public Places.
The following is a summary of funds to be appropriated with this action:

First Reading of Ordinance No. 062, 2019, Amending Chapter 2 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to
Establish Council Expectations Regarding Action by Boards and Commissions and Member Participation.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to provide guidelines on board or commission member participation that require
members not to abstain in items they are participating in; an abstain vote will be treated as a yes vote. Conflict
of Interest guidelines continue as they currently exist.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Over the past few months, there have been occasions where members who were participating in regular
business of a board or commission chose to abstain at the time the formal vote was taken on specific items
being considered by that board or commission.
The proposed Code language has been written to ensure that each board or commission conducts its business
in accordance with the Charter, the Code, other policies that may be established by City Council, and the bylaws
duly approved by such board or commission. The Ordinance requires that a record be made of each vote by
which a board or commission takes formal action. It requires that each member of such board or commission
who is present to vote. If a member fails to vote, and is present, he or she shall be recorded as voting in the
affirmative.
A member who has declared a conflict of interest in a decision or is otherwise trying to avoid an appearance of
undue influence in the decision, or who in a quasi-judicial proceeding has recused himself or herself due to bias
or partiality in the particular proceeding, shall not be present for or participate in the portion of any meeting during
which such decision or proceeding is under consideration.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no expected financial impacts to the City organization.

Items Relating to Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2019-047 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid Waste
Programming and Infrastructure Improvements.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 063, 2019 Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Direct Mixed
Construction and Demolition Materials to the Future Larimer County Construction and Demolition Waste
Processing Facility, Upon Its Completion.
The purpose of this item is to consider joining an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Larimer County and
other Regional Wasteshed Coalition partners for solid waste infrastructure proposed in a 2018 Larimer County
Master Plan (Resolution 2019-047), and consider an ordinance directing all mixed loads of construction and
demolition waste to a future County-owned sorting facility, once that facility is built (Ordinance No. 063, 2019).
The proposed intergovernmental agreement with Larimer County provides a framework for collaboration
between the parties that can lead to future infrastructure development. The agreement does not obligate the City
to enact any specific policies and consideration of local diversion measures will be based on established
principles of stakeholder engagement for innovation. Larimer County is obligated under the IGA to fund and
construct new facilities if enough recyclable/compostable material is expected to reach them. Adopting the
recommended building code changes would cause Larimer County to begin development of a sorting/recycling
facility for construction and demolition waste.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution and Ordinance on First Reading.

Item # 23 Page 2
At the January 15, 2019 regular meeting Council approved a resolution supporting the Integrated Solid Waste
Master Plan and directing staff to develop an intergovernmental agreement and specific code changes for review
(Attachment 3).
During the February 12, 2019 work session Council expressed project support and gave direction to prepare a
resolution to adopt a Solid Waste Intergovernmental Agreement and an ordinance to amend the Fort Collins
building codes to increase landfill diversion of construction and demolition waste.
Larimer County Board of County Commissioners and Loveland City Council both unanimously adopted the
Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements at their respective
meetings on March 19, 2019. Estes Park Town Board will be considering the IGA April 23rd.
Fort Collins City Council has been represented on the Policy Advisory Committee of the Wasteshed Coalition
since 2016 by Mayor Troxell and Councilmember Cunniff.
Master Plan
On December 19, 2018 the Larimer County Planning Commission unanimously approved a Solid Waste
Infrastructure Master Plan (Master Plan) that establishes a road-map for creating recycling and waste diversion
facilities, fully funded by Larimer County without requiring financial investment from the City of Fort Collins. The
Master Plan is the result of a three-year regional collaboration to plan for what comes after the Larimer County
landfill reaches capacity (2024) and to improve the local waste and recycling system, providing strategic
implementation opportunities for Fort Collins’ Zero Waste goals.
The Master Plan proposes new solid waste facilities and infrastructure (funded by Larimer County) and
supportive policies (considered by the parties). While Larimer County has the funding to build new resource
recovery facilities, municipal partnerships and policies are needed to make sure there is enough material
generated to make these regional assets work.
The Master Plan includes analysis of the following facilities:
Tier 1: to be constructed in the
near term
Central Transfer Station
New County Landfill
Yard Waste Composting Facility
Food Waste Composting Facility *
Construction and Demolition Recycling Facility *
Tier 2: to be assessed annually for
feasibility
Clean Material Recovery Facility for Single Stream Recyclables *
Anaerobic Digestion for Food Scraps
Tier 3: for future consideration Waste to Energy
Refuse Derived Fuel Processing
* requires policy/programs directing materials to the facility for construction to commence
Resolution - Intergovernmental Agreement
The Intergovernmental Agreement for Solid Waste Programming and Infrastructure Improvements (IGA) outlines
how the communities can work together to trigger infrastructure development through a combination of code
changes and programs to send waste materials to resource recovery facilities. The IGA does not commit the
parties to take specific actions; it is left up to each community to consider appropriate, local diversion policy.
Larimer County will wait to initiate development of the food scrap composting facility, construction and demolition
waste sorting facility, and the recycling center upgrade until it is clear that each facility will receive enough waste
material to be viable.
Obligations of Larimer County
The County has the bulk of the substantive obligations under the IGA. The County agrees to:

Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 3
o fund, construct, own, and manage new Tier 1 Facilities, including Central Transfer Station, New
County landfill, and Yard Waste Composting Facility, to be operational prior to the closure of the
current Larimer County Landfill
o if minimum thresholds for anticipated waste material are met, initiate construction of the Food
Waste Composting Facility, Construction and Demolition Waste Processing Facility, (Tier 1
Facilities) and Recycling Center Upgrade (Tier 2 Facility).
Obligations of All Parties
o operate and maintain respective solid waste management facilities – including Estes Park
Transfer Station, Fort Collins Timberline Recycling Center and Crushing Operations Facility,
Loveland collection vehicles and Recycling Center, and the Larimer County Solid Waste
Infrastructure System (including rural convenience centers)
o look at local waste diversion policies that may be adopted to support the new Tier 1 resource
recovery facilities
o participate in a County-led solid waste Policy Council
including one elected official and one additional appointee per party
review and consider Tier 2 and Tier 3 facilities at least annually, including waste-to-
energy innovations
o provide services of one or more employees for technical staff support to the Policy Council
o implement hauler licensing programs meeting minimum requirements and manage/enforce
them with reasonable diligence
o coordinate data collection and public outreach
Under the Resolution, Fort Collins consents to the Town of Wellington as an additional party to the IGA if it
so chooses (Town has indicated its intent to join).
The City of Fort Collins’ obligations under the IGA include only the following policies or actions, many of
which are already standard practice or required in Fort Collins:
o hauler licensing
minimum standards in the IGA are consistent with City’s current requirements;
o hauler licensing includes a curbside recycling collection requirement
Fort Collins already requires licensed haulers to provide curbside recycling;
Fort Collins does not direct recycling to a specific recycling facility and the IGA does
not require it to do so;
o encourage segregation of yard waste from landfill disposal
Fort Collins’ licensed residential haulers are all required to offer optional yard waste
collection service upon customer request;
o manage and enforce its own hauler licensing requirements;
o coordinate data tracking of material collected in Fort Collins with other jurisdictions;
o public education and outreach
IGA requires cooperation and use of a jointly-created toolkit;
o participate in the Policy Council
two members – one appointed member, one elected official;
o making one or more of the City’s employees available to serve as the Technical Staff to the
Policy Council;
o operate and maintain its Timberline Recycling Center and Hoffman Mill Crushing Facility for
the term of the Agreement
The City may independently relocate, replace, and/or modify its facilities so long as
not detrimental to the overall operation of the Integrated Solid Waste Management
System.
The possible policies to support new Tier 1 and 2 resource recovery facilities, which may be adopted by the
parties, include measures to direct specific waste materials to certain facilities (i.e., flow control). The IGA only
requires parties to look at such policies – whether or not to enact a flow control ordinance is within the discretion
of each jurisdiction with public and stakeholder input.

Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 4
If a jurisdiction adopts such a policy that will provide the reasonably anticipated minimum of materials, then that
triggers the County’s obligation to construct the relevant facility. Not all communities must adopt flow control for
each material to trigger this obligation with respect to the corresponding facility. Loveland’s agreement to direct
all of its yard waste to the future County facility meets the minimum to compel the County to construct that facility
(both obligations are already included in the IGA for this reason).
The following table explains what is needed for each facility to be developed:

Flow control for single

Not recommended due to
adverse market conditions
Due to the amount of construction and demolition waste generated by projects in Fort Collins, adopting the
Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Code Change set forth in the Ordinance would meet the
“reasonably anticipated minimum” in the IGA and trigger the County’s obligation to develop the construction and
demolition sorting facility. Staff from Loveland and Larimer County intend to bring forth to their boards flow control
policies for mixed construction and demolition waste in the future.
Ordinance No. 063, 2019 - Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Code Change
One of the policy opportunities outlined in the Master Plan would be enacted through this ordinance to amend
Fort Collins building codes. Flow control is a legal requirement that all material of a certain type be taken to a
specific facility. In this case, the changes to the Fort Collins building codes would direct all mixed loads of
construction and demolition waste to a future County-owned sorting facility, once that facility is built. Diverting
this portion of the waste stream from landfill would amount to a third of the progress needed to reach Fort Collins’
2025 Zero Waste goal.
Current Situation
The Fort Collins building code currently requires the recycling of four materials (wood, aggregates, metal, and
cardboard) documented through an official construction waste management plan. This means that building sites
often have as many as five separate bins to manage waste (the four recyclable materials and one for trash).
Proposed Policy
6.1
Packet Pg. 112
Attachment: First Reading Agenda Item Summary, April 16, 2019 (w/o attachments) (7955 : SR 063 Wasteshed)
Agenda Item 23
Item # 23 Page 5
Flow control for this material would direct all mixed loads of construction and demolition (C&D) debris, including
recyclable and non-recyclable materials, to the County-owned C&D sorting facility. The policy would only come
into effect once the Construction and Demolition Debris Sorting Facility is constructed and would be in place for
a period of 10 years. The primary goal of the policy is to significantly increase landfill waste diversion by ensuring
enough material is delivered to the C&D sorting facility for it to become a viable regional asset with enough
output to kick-start regional end markets.
Because the IGA states that having minimum volumes of waste material will trigger the construction of a new
sorting facility, this one policy change in Fort Collins alone (which is reasonably anticipated to meet the minimum
volume) can initiate and move the C&D sorting facility to the “build list”.
The existing system would remain an option for builders because flow control would not apply to recyclables
sorted on site (as is the practice currently), but it would allow “all-in-one-bin” service for collection of mixed loads
of trash and recyclables from building sites that prefer that option.
Key takeaways for C&D flow control policy
All co-mingled loads of C&D debris would have to be directed to a specific, County-owned facility
Although the building code would change now, the requirement would only be triggered by Larimer County’s
construction of an operational facility (by 2023)
Requirement would be in effect for ten years from when the new facility begins accepting materials
Code change would apply to the same sizes and types of construction projects as current recycling
requirements
New system would provide the convenience of “all-in-one-bin” collection service
Status quo options would remain; separating recyclables on site would be permissible under code
amendments
Comparable Regional Policy
Under the IGA, Loveland has committed the yard waste materials from its collection and drop-off services to be
delivered to a County-owned composting facility, once it is operational. By meeting the minimum threshold for
yard waste Loveland has triggered construction of the Tier 1 Yard Waste Composting Facility, which will provide
regional infrastructure for Fort Collins residents and businesses to utilize.
Additional Relevant Analysis
A Triple-Bottom Line Scan of the proposed project outcomes was conducted in 2018. See Wasteshed TBL-Scan
Summary (Attachment 4) for results.
A “waste characterization” study of material accepted for disposal at the Larimer County Landfill was conducted
in 2016 (Attachment 5). A major finding was that organics (yard trimmings and food scraps), as well as
construction and demolition materials, offer a significant opportunity for waste diversion from landfill. Using 2017
totals, diverting compostable/recyclable material from the C&D portion of the waste stream represents a third of
the progress needed to meet Fort Collins’ Zero Waste goal for 2025 (90% landfill diversion rate).
In response to hauler concerns about increased transfer truck traffic through Fort Collins from the Central
Transfer Station to the New County Landfill, City traffic engineers reviewed the data and provided the following
conclusions:
Arterial roadways, state highways, and interstate
o Current peak vehicular volumes for impacted intersections of 2,500-4,000 vehicles/hour
o Impact of additional truck traffic off-peak – 0.5% to 1.0% increase in traffic (considered nominal)
o During peak volumes – 0.25% to 0.4% (considered nominal)
College Avenue & Trilby intersection has greatest potential impact
o Current design improvements are underway, increasing turn lanes and capacity within the next

two years
Conclusions are based on 50 truck loads per day (100 trips); even doubling that number of trips would not
increase the results above a nominal impact.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Regional collaboration for solid waste planning, spurred by the Larimer County Landfill nearing capacity (in
2024), has resulted in a master plan for infrastructure that will divert significant waste from landfills without capital
investment from the City of Fort Collins. Council Finance Committee discussed the project on July 16, 2018.
(Attachment 6)
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Natural Resources and Air Quality Advisory Boards expressed support for adopting a regional
Intergovernmental Agreement for solid waste in letters to Mayor and City Council Members dated November 28
and December 28, 2018. (Attachment 7)
At its February 28, 2019 meeting, the Building Review Board voted unanimously to recommend for adoption
the proposed building code amendments to require mixed loads of construction and demolition waste be
directed to the future Larimer County sorting facility, as presented. (Attachment 10)
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A Stakeholder Advisory Group met seven times between May 2017 and September 2018 to provide input
and review technical and policy information produced by coalition staff.
o Over 50 stakeholders were invited to participate from key sectors, including the business
community, academia, regional governments, waste haulers and recyclers, boards and
commissions, state agencies, and advocacy groups.
Coalition staff met directly with local hauling companies throughout the project, both individually and as a
group, to discuss impacts on their operations. Hauler meetings were held in May, July, and December of
2018. (Attachment 8)
o A special meeting of the Policy Advisory Committee was held on April 4, 2019 to review specific
concerns expressed by members of a hauling company. (Attachment 11)
Staff presented updates to the Local Legislative Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in January,
April, and November 2018.
Staff solicited targeted feedback on the building code changes from key stakeholders in the building and
hauling sectors during the summer 2018.
Four public meetings in an open house format were held in May 2018 throughout the County and an
informational webpage has been maintained at www.fcgov.com/wasteshed.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 7, 2019
City Council
STAFF
Barb Brock, Natural Areas Financial Coordinator
John Stokes, Natural Resources Director
Jody Hurst, Legal
SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 064, 2019, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves for Natural Areas Programming
Not Included in the 2019 Adopted City Budget.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $10,215,000 in prior year reserves and unanticipated revenues in
the Natural Areas Fund. These appropriations are for land conservation and restoration of wildlife habitat,
as well as other Natural Areas Department programs to benefit the citizens of Fort Collins.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Appropriated funds for the Natural Areas Department (NAD) for purposes other than capital projects lapse at
the end of each year if not spent. Unspent funds need to be appropriated into the following year’s budget
before they can be used. Of the total appropriation, $9,100,000 will be used for land conservation. Over
$6,000,000 in land acquisitions are under negotiation; there is a reasonable likelihood that most of these funds
will be spent in 2019.
In addition to prior year reserves and unspent 2018 appropriations, NAD received $1,400,878 in
unanticipated revenues; $580,000 of these funds are being appropriated for the purpose of providing Natural
Areas programming not included in the 2019 adopted City Budget.
NOTE: Of the $1,400,878 in unanticipated revenues, $580,000 is being appropriated in this Ordinance for
current project needs and the remainder will be appropriated in the future as needed.
The funds for NAD come from the following designated sources of revenue: the City - Open Space Yes! ¼
cent sales tax; the Larimer County - Help Preserve Open Space ¼ cent sales tax; and miscellaneous
anticipated and unanticipated revenues. All of these funds are restricted to the purposes of the Natural Areas
Department, including unanticipated revenues which consist generally of income from sales tax revenues,
easements, leases or grants.
The prior year reserve funds being appropriated in this Ordinance are more specifically described as:
$ 9,635,000 Unspent 2018 Budgeted Funds - being re-appropriated for same purpose
$ 580,000 Unanticipated Revenues
$10,215,000 Prior Year 2018 Reserves

Packet Pg. 121
Agenda Item 7
Item # 7 Page 2
The anticipated use of these funds is as follows:
Land Conservation - $9,100,000 in unspent land conservation funds will fund land conservation efforts per
the Natural Areas Master Plan.
Rangers - $30,000 for a new Ranger vehicle. The existing 10-year-old Ford Escape (hybrid) Ranger vehicle,
which is no longer meeting the Ranger’s needs, is being repurposed to replace a leased 10-year-old Prius.
Resource Management
• $200,000 in unspent 2018 restoration project funds will fund the completion of the restoration at Kingfisher
Natural Area and other restoration projects.
• $150,000 for the first phase of infrastructure required to implement a recently completed water
augmentation plan associated with numerous ponds on the Cache la Poudre River.
Facility Operations - $330,000 to fund the remodel of the Field Services office building, refinish the floors in
the shop and vehicle storage building to increase safety, and a portion of NAD costs for a fueling station to be
shared with other departments at the Crushing Operations Facility.
Trails and Visitor Amenities - $405,000 in unspent 2018 trails and visitor amenities project funds will fund a
variety of trail and visitor amenity projects.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
This Ordinance increases 2019 appropriations in the City’s Natural Areas Fund by $10,215,000. The requested
total appropriation of $10,215,000 in the Natural Areas Fund represents 2018 appropriations that were unspent
and unencumbered at year-end 2018 and unanticipated revenues. These funds are restricted to the purposes
of the Natural Areas Department.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 17, 2019 meeting, the Land Conservation and Stewardship Board voted unanimously to
recommend that City Council approve the appropriation.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Natural Areas Funds will be spent in alignment with the Natural Areas Master Plan, which was extensively
reviewed by the public prior to its adoption in October 2014.

Minutes Excerpt:
Annual Appropriation of Prior Year Reserves, John Stokes, Director reported
on the memo he distributed and the appropriation amount of $10M. Most of the
appropriation is for land conservation along with another handful of items but is
typical for the last few years. John would like to take the appropriation to City
Council the first part of May for approval.
Kelly inquired about the $1M in unanticipated revenues. John explained those
funds were from the County and City sales tax. Most of those funds are from the
County Sales Tax. Part of the reason for that is City Finance tells us what we’re
going to receive for city generated revenues, but NAD generates our own
estimate of county revenues and we do that conservatively on purpose.
Joe asked about all the new hires and conversions. John reported we have 8
conversions. Six of those positions were in Field Services, one was the GIS
position that was converted to full time position and the Environmental Planner
position (Nature in the City) that is still open.
David Tweedale made a motion that City Council approve the proposed 2019
Appropriation of Prior Year Reserves for the Natural Areas Department.
Edward Reifsnyder seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously
approved 9-0

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 065, 2019, Vacating Portions of Hobbit Street Right-of-Way East of Shields
Street.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to vacate a portion of the Hobbit Street right-of-way that was originally intended to
be built in connection with the Young’s Creek development plan (Young’s Creek). Young’s Creek would have
extended Hobbit Street from its current termination north into its development but was never constructed and
has since expired. With the approval of the Landmark Apartments Expansion project in place of Young’s
Creek, the constructed portion of Hobbit Street (which is not being vacated) will be terminated into a cul-de-sac
at its current location.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Hobbit Street is an existing public street east of Shields Street that was constructed in the 1980s in conjunction
with the Landmark Apartments development (on file as Landmark PUD). In 2004 the City approved Young’s
Creek directly east of Landmark Apartments which dedicated right-of-way with the intent of extending Hobbit
Street north into the development plan. Young’s Creek never proceeded with construction and the right to
develop the plan expired. While the development plan expired, the right-of-way dedicated for Hobbit Street
remained as right-of-way and did not terminate when the development plan expired.
The Landmark Apartments Expansion development plan was submitted to the City in 2016 on the expired
Young’s Creek property. Landmark Apartments Expansion’s development plan does not extend Hobbit Street
into the project and terminates the existing Hobbit Street constructed with Landmark Apartments into a cul-de-
sac. The remainder of the Hobbit Street right-of-way as dedicated with Young’s Creek is no longer needed for
the Landmark Apartments Expansion, which was approved by the Planning and Zoning Board on November
10, 2016, with the condition that subsequent vacation of Hobbit Street right-of-way on the property be
approved by City Council. Additionally, Resolution 2017-011 of the City Council adopted findings of fact and
conclusions regarding the appeal of the Planning and Zoning Board decision approving the Landmark
Apartments Expansion, which allows Landmark Apartments Expansion to move forward with a final plan.
Vacations of public right-of-way are governed by City Code Section 23-115, which provides for an application
and review process prior to submission to the City Council for formal consideration. The process includes
review by potentially affected utility agencies, City staff, emergency service providers, and affected property
owners in the vicinity of the right-of-way proposed to be vacated. This review process was followed in
conjunction with review of the Landmark Apartments Expansion final plan and based on comments received,
the Planning Development and Transportation Director recommended that the vacation be approved. With the
8
Packet Pg. 126
Agenda Item 8
Item # 8 Page 2
proposed vacation, an easement for utilities and drainage will be reserved across a small portion of the
vacated right-of-way, which preserves the right to utilize the vacated portion for this purpose and is consistent
with the Landmark Apartments Expansion development plan for utility facilities. Approval of the plat for
Landmark Apartments Expansion will dedicate a blanket utility and drainage easement outside of the building
envelopes.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The termination of Hobbit Street into a cul-de-sac instead of extending it into Landmark Apartments Expansion
reduces the overall roadway maintenance liability to the City.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
A memorandum requesting input was sent to the abutting property owners and utility providers.

SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-055 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement Between the City of Fort Collins,
the East Larimer County Water District, the Fort Collins-Loveland Water District, and the North Weld County
Water District Regarding a Study Related to a Temporary Shutdown of the Horsetooth Reservoir Soldier
Canyon Outlet.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to execute an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Fort Collins and
the Tri-Districts (Fort-Collins Loveland, East Larimer County, and North Weld County water districts) to
evaluate alternate water supplies and risk mitigation strategies during an October 2020 planned 45-day
shutdown of the Soldier Canyon Dam water supply line from Horsetooth Reservoir to the two drinking water
treatment plants serving the City of Fort Collins and surrounding areas.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Northern Water, which operates the 54-inch Soldier Canyon pipeline from Horsetooth Reservoir to the Fort
Collins Water and the Soldier Canyon Water Treatment Plants, is planning to perform necessary maintenance
on the water line in October 2020. This maintenance will require a full shutdown of the line for up to 45 days,
which will result in both treatment plants relying on the Cache la Poudre River as the sole water source for the
City and the Tri-Districts service areas. Historically, the Poudre River has been a reliable source of high-quality
water, but it can be susceptible to water quality impairing incidents such as forest fires, vehicle crashes,
chemical spills, and other incidents that may cause the Plants to shut off the water intakes from the River. If
one or more of these such incidents were to occur during the planned shutdown, the City and the Tri-Districts
would be at risk of a drinking water shortage.
To mitigate this potential risk, the City and the Tri-Districts have agreed to study alternative water supply
strategies that could range from short term conservation measures, up to building physical improvements such
as pump stations. The alternatives may also include a public outreach plan detailing voluntary water
conservation measures before and during the shutdown period. A full range of mitigation strategies will be
analyzed and an alternative, or a suite of alternatives will be selected that will best mitigate the potential water
shortage should an issue occur in the Poudre River during the shutdown period. The design, construction, and
cost sharing of any proposed physical improvements would be covered under a separate City Council
approved IGA with the Tri-Districts.

Item # 9 Page 2
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The cost of the analyses will be reviewed and approved by all parties and shared between the City and the Tri-
Districts per the terms of the IGA. Existing Fort Collins Utilities O&M or Minor Capital funds will be used for the
City portion of the project costs. The scope of the work will be limited to a maximum price to be decided by the
participants. Fort Collins Loveland Water District has limited its project share to $20,000. It is anticipated that
the City's share will also be in this funding range.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 18, 2019 meeting, the Water Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the IGA.
(Attachment 1)
PUBLIC OUTREACH
No public outreach has been performed at this time. Based on the outcomes of the alternative’s analysis, a
public outreach plan will be prepared detailing the City's and the Tri-Districts efforts to communicate potential
water saving and risk mitigation strategies during the planned shutdown.

Presentation Summary:
• Water Production Manager, Mark Kempton, gave some background
information to explain the need of an Inter-Governmental Agreement
(IGA). The Water Treatment Facility has two primary drinking water
sources (Horsetooth Reservoir (HT) and Poudre River). Northern Water
did work on the line and found two issues with valves and the trash racks
on the inlet, inside the reservoir, that needs to be replaced. This means
that the HT pipeline will need to be shut down for 45 days. Since all
dependency will fall on the Poudre River during this time, it requires staff
to mitigate risks associated with the plan (forest fires, vehicles in the river,
tanker trucks in the river, etc.). The proposal is to enter an IGA with the
Tri-Districts to look at risk mitigation strategies and possibly to structure
temporary water supplies during the 45 days. Some preliminary ideas
have been discussed, such asking CDOT to restrict truck traffic in Poudre
Canyon during the 45 days. The final plan alternatives will be selected in
the late summer of 2019. The line would be shut down in October of 2020.
Discussion Summary:
• Board members commented on and inquired about various related topics
including what HT’s water level would be brought down to (The level will
be brought down to around 100 feet, a typical Fall level), how the 45-day-
timeline was chosen (Mr. Kempton said the original plan was for 60 days,
but they were able to bring down to the current projection with work
planned seven days a week. Coating of the pipeline alone takes 7-10
days before water can be ran through the line), the reason for the October
2020 shut down (October is the best month because demands drop-off
and it is also when Northern Water requested the shut-down to take
place), anticipated costs of the project (possibly 20,000-30,000 in
engineering fees), and clarification on the risk (The risk isn’t the water
supply, but the immediate acute risk of something happening and the
water can’t be treated).
Board Member Bovee moved that the Water Board recommend to City Council
the adoption of an Inter-Governmental Agreement with the Tri-Districts

SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-056 Supporting the Grant Application by Fort Collins Utilities for the United States Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Grant and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute
Agreements Regarding Such a Grant.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to request City Council support to pursue a United States Bureau of Reclamation
WaterSMART Grant: Small Scale Water Efficiency Projects for Fiscal Year 2019. If awarded, Fort Collins
Utilities, through its Water Conservation Division, would use the funds to support commercial-scale waterwise
transformations in partnership with homeowners’ associations (“HOAs”) and commercial customers.
Reclamation requires a resolution of City Council support be submitted as part of the grant application
package. The Resolution demonstrates that the applicant has support from its governing board to carry out the
grant agreement, if awarded.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Water Conservation is seeing an increasing need for support and education around commercial-scale
waterwise landscape transformation projects (e.g., turf-to-native grass or other low-water-use landscape) due
to: (1) increases in the excess water use surcharge, (2) community interest, and (3) the need for more
drought- and heat-tolerant landscapes in the face of climate change.
About 7 percent of Utilities water customers are commercial accounts (including all irrigation-related accounts),
yet they use 40 percent of the treated water. Up to 60-70 percent of this is used to irrigate. The Water
Efficiency Plan, adopted by City Council in 2016, identifies the great opportunity to achieve long-term water
savings by working with commercial customers on reducing outdoor water use. From research, surveys, and
focus-groups, staff has identified that funding and educational/technical resources are two main barriers to
customers completing these types of projects.
In the 2019-20 Budgeting for Outcomes process, staff applied for funds to support a commercial-scale
landscape program similar to the already funded single-family residential Xeriscape Incentive Program (XIP);
this was supported by the Water Board but did not ultimately receive funding. Water Conservation does not
currently have sufficient funds to support landscape transformation incentive program for commercial-scale
landscapes.
10
Packet Pg. 150
Agenda Item 10
Item # 10 Page 2
To address this gap, staff applied for a $70,000 grant through the Colorado Water Conservation Board
(CWCB) to support HOA and commercial landscape transformation projects. Awardees will be notified in May
2019. To increase the number of customers and projects staff can support and/or secure funds if the CWCB
grant is not successful, Water Conservation is also applying for $75,0000 from the WaterSMART Grant.
(Attachment 1)
If awarded, staff anticipates being able to provide between $5-15k per project and support about 10-15 Fort
Collins Utilities water customers. The number of supported projects can be doubled if Utilities is awarded both
the CWCB and WaterSMART Grant.
All applicants for the WaterSMART Grants are required to include an official resolution from their governing
board within 30 days of the application due date that verifies:
• The identity of the official with legal authority to enter into an agreement;
• Support of the application and use of grant funds;
• The capability of the applicant to provide the amount of funding and in-kind contributions for the grant; and
• The applicant is committed to work with USBR to meet all established deadlines.
If awarded, Water Conservation is expected to submit financial and performance reports on at least an annual
basis that include information on project progress and cost.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
Obtaining this grant would enable Water Conservation to support a much needed HOA and commercial
landscape transformation program. Reclamation requires a 50% match of the total project cost with cash or in-
kind services. The funds necessary to meet the match requirement are already appropriated.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At its April 18, 2019 meeting, the Water Board unanimously approved staff pursuing this opportunity.

Presentation Summary
• Water Conservation Specialist, Abbye Neel, and Water Conservation
Manager, Liesel Hans asked the board if they would support the Water
Conservation Staff in their application for the United States Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation) WaterSMART grant. Water Conservation
is applying for a Reclamation WaterSMART grant to be able to provide
financial incentives to support waterwise transformation of Home
Owner Associations (HOAs) and commercial landscapes. All grant
applicants are required to include an official resolution adopted by City
Council that commits the applicant to the legal and financial
requirements, if awarded, as outlined by the Reclamation. If awarded,
the grant will fund commercial-scale landscape transformation projects
that expand upon the already successful residential Xeriscape
Incentive Program. These funds could also support participants,
potentially in 2019, in the proposed Allotment Management Program
(AMP), if AMP is approved.
Discussion Summary
• Board members commented on and inquired about various related
topics including whether the grant allows activities such as putting in
sprinklers (Ms. Neel confirmed;funding will be available for such
requests)’ if funding could be available to take action in 2019 (Council
passed the purposed Allotment Management Program in the context
that a waiver could be applied for this year and funding would be
received early next year), and what work is being done for City
departments, like Planning and Utilities, to better support each other
(Water Resources, Water Conservation, Finance, Planning, and
Zoning are working on changing ordinances within the departments).
Board Member Bovee moved that the Water Board support Water Conservation Staff in

Executive Summary
April 24, 2019
Fort Collins Utilities
Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado
Fort Collins Utilities proposes expanding the successful single-family residential Xeriscape
Incentive Program (XIP) to commercial-scale landscapes. Funds will be used to provide
financial incentives for business and homeowner associations (HOAs) to undertake large
landscape transformations that reduce long-term seasonal water demands and increase
resilience to current and future climate conditions. This expansion was identified based on our
Water Efficiency Plan as well as local factors that are driving unprecedented interest and need
for commercial landscape change. Based on XIP projects from 2016-18, we estimate average
annual savings of 13 gallons per square foot transformed. If the funds are awarded, about 12
projects could be supported with a minimum savings of 3.1 million gallons per year. The results
are expected to be greater as some customers will implement larger projects than the minimum
of 20,000 sq. ft.
Fort Collins Utilities requests $75,000 from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to expand the
existing program. Utilities currently has a pending grant with the Colorado Water Conservation
Board (CWCB) for $70,000. Utilities will match up to $81,646 dollars of cash and in-kind

services for a total program cost of $226,646. If all funding is granted $165,000 will be used to
rebate landscape projects. The remaining $61,646 will cover materials and in-kind salaries and
wages.
Fort Collins Utilities anticipates starting initial program preparation in July 2019, with
implementation of landscape projects starting in spring of 2020. All projects should be fully
installed by October 2021.
The project is not located on a Federal facility.
Background Data
Fort Collins Utilities (Utilities) is a municipally owned utility primarily supplied by two surface
water sources: the Cache la Poudre River (Poudre River) and the Colorado-Big Thompson (C-
BT) Project. Combined, Utilities delivers an average of 26,000 acre-feet of treated water for
municipal uses. Specifically, the primary components of the Utilities’ water rights portfolio are:
x Poudre River Senior Direct Flow Decrees: Utilities has five senior direct flow rights that
allow Utilities to divert an average of 12,600 per acre-feet. These rights are usually
available unless there is a severe dry period.
x Poudre River Junior Direct Flow Decrees: The Utilities’ junior rights (1955 appropriation
date) are only in priority during peak runoff periods. Annual yield can range from zero to
5,400 acre-feet depending on the year.
x C-BT Water: Utilities owns about 18,855 units of C-BT water. Deliveries depend on the
annual quota set by Norther Water each year. Quotas can range from annual yields of
9,400 acre-feet to 18,800 acre-feet.
An average year yields 75,245 acre-feet of water, if all rights were fully usable; however, due to
legal and capacity constraints, present yield available for municipal use is much less. Utilities is
actively trying to address these issues; however, the lack of storage capacity is the greatest
water supply vulnerability.
Utilities serves approximately 35,500 water accounts and 133,000 people. Eighty-two percent of
accounts are single family residential customers, 11 percent are duplex or multifamily accounts,
and 7 percent are commercial (including irrigation accounts). The Utilities’ current planning level
is 150 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), however Utilities also has an efficiency goal of 130
gpcd by 2030. The population within the service area is expected to increase by 35,000
residents in the next 30 years (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Projected Treated Water Demand and Population
Throughout the Utilities’ distribution area there are 544 miles of water mainlines. There are four
finished water storage reservoirs: two can store 14 million gallons (MG), one can store 3.8 MG,
and one can store 1.5 MG. The distribution system is gravity fed, however there are two finished
water pumping stations at the treatment plant to serve a single pressure zone. One station can
pump about 4,500 gallons per minute (gpm) and the other can pump about 8,300 gpm. Pumping
rates vary significantly throughout the day and year.
There are no current relationships with the Bureau of Reclamation.
Project Location
The City of Fort Collins (City) is located 65 miles north of Denver in Larimer County. The Fort
Collins Utilities service area boundaries for water do not perfectly match the City limits. Figure 2
shows the Fort Collins Utilities service area relative to other water district service areas and City
limits. Fort Collins Utilities currently serves about 75% of Fort Collins’ residents and businesses.
The Xeriscape Incentive Program Expansion is located in Fort Collins Utilities service area in
Fort Collins, Colorado USA. The project latitude is 40°35’N and the longitude is 105°5’W. The
weather and climate conditions in this semi-arid region mean that nearly all landscapes require
irrigation to survive.

Technical project description and milestones
Technical Project Description – Utilities requests funds to expand our current single-family-
residential Xeriscape Incentive Program (XIP) to include commercial-scale landscapes on
Homeowners Association (HOA) and commercial properties. XIP started in 2016 and has
successfully grown almost 3-fold from 16 projects to 47 projects in 2018. Nearly 120,000 square
feet have been converted through this education-focused incentive program. We estimate 1.7
million gallons of annual savings from previously completed XIP projects.
XIP provides a rebate for transforming high-water use landscape to low- or no-water-use
landscaping or hardscaping. Participants are required to provide “before” photos, a landscape
plan, irrigation plan, and a narrative describing the proposed project. Participants can attend
optional 1:1 consultation and have a required end-of-project final inspection and evaluation.

Utilities does not currently have sufficient funds to expand XIP to commercial customers. In lieu
of funds, Utilities created “no-cost” services like the Landscape Water Budget (LWB) program
for commercial-scale landscapes; LWB combines a customer’s water use with information about
their landscape area and type in order to show a simple comparison of actual water use to
efficient water use. These reports are sent on a monthly basis and are used as a tool among
Utilities staff, the customer, and their landscape contractor to identify opportunities to more
efficiently manage their landscape, water use and ultimately their water bills. We estimate this
service helped 15 customers save 22 million gallons in 2018. Learn more at
fcgov.com/commercial-irrigation.
Purpose: The purpose of this funding request is to expand the successful structure of XIP to
commercial customers, in conjunction with the LWB program, to achieve significant peak-
season water savings by lowering landscape irrigation need. A complementary long-term goal is
to increase the resiliency and drought tolerance of our community’s landscapes. Fort Collins is
already a semi-arid climate; rises in temperature and changes in precipitation patterns are
expected to have a significant impact on our future water supplies and demands. Transforming
landscapes now will help prepare our community for future droughts while protecting our
community’s vibrancy and livability.
Challenges: Most HOAs and business parks were built with large areas of unused turfgrass
that require a lot of water. Only 7 percent of Utilities’ water accounts are commercial customers,
which include irrigation accounts for HOAs, yet they use over 40 percent of treated water each
year. Water demand increases for these customers by 60-70 percent in the summer months
due to irrigation.
Through surveys, focus-groups, and research, commercial customers have identified two key
barriers to successfully implementing projects:
Challenge Solution
Cost of commercial-scale
landscape change
Expand XIP program to provide financial support for
commercial-scale landscape change, while leveraging
LWB program to provide educational opportunities to
create community support and awareness for projects.
Successful establishment and
management of new
landscapes
Use XIP’s requirements (photos, a landscape plan,
irrigation plan, and a narrative describing proposed project)
to ensure project success. Adapt to address needs of
commercial-scale landscapes including landscape
contracts, establishment protocols, and maintenance
plans.
Leverage LWB and require milestone check-ins with
project contact and landscape contractor to maintain
progress and course-correct as issues arise.

Residential XIP projects are more often completed by the homeowner. Commercial-scale
projects are larger, more expensive, and require professional contractors. As we scale up to
provide a commercial program offering, most requirements in the current XIP structure will be
adjusted to require a more comprehensive and professional grade design, installation, and
maintenance plan. Utilities staff will require more frequent milestone check-ins, especially as
some projects may span more than one year. Project awards will be based on the size of the
project as well as projected water savings.
The City has a series of other programs that utilize a common application software that is
familiar to the community; this will be used to expand XIP to commercial properties. Complete
program timeline and requirements are included in the Program Overview and Project
Implementation sections.
Expected Results - Utilities will offer between $5,000 and $15,000 per project; we anticipate
funding about 12 projects utilizing Utilities’ existing cash of $20,000 plus the Reclamation
portion of $75,000. This will transform a minimum of 200,000 square feet, saving about 3.1
million gallons of water (9.6 acre-feet of water) per year.
Utilities applied for a Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) grant requesting $70,000 for
use in 2019 and 2020. If awarded (notifications to be sent in May 2019), Utilities proposes using
the CWCB grant funding as the match funding. If not awarded, Utilities will provide match
funding from the Water Conservation budgets over 2020 and 2021.
If both grants are awarded, Utilities will have a total of $165,000 available for project rebates, or
estimated funding for up to 21 projects. At this level of funding, we estimate transforming a
minimum 420,000 square feet with the potential to save about 5.5 million gallons (16.6 acre-
feet) of water per year.
Program Overview - The phases of the program expansion are as follows:
1. Participant Coordination and Call for Applications (July – October 2019):
x Set-up administration processes through existing City software; finalize any internal
administrative processes.
x Advertise Call for Applications and work with individual participants to field questions
and generate a set of high-quality applications.
x Host educational events, conduct meetings with interested customers, partner with
customers to facilitation information events for interested business or HOA.
2. Application Review and Project Selection (August 2019 – February 2020):

and review all project documentation, engage in customer and community outreach,
provide final funding as applicable. Participants are required to submit copies of
receipts, invoices, proof of payment, and a W-9 tax form.
x Initial analyses will be conducted after the first year of installation and after all project
installations are complete; however, Utilities will continue to monitor water use and
success of the landscapes beyond the timeline, budget and scope of this grant
proposal. Staff will share results, lessons learned, and other findings as applicable
through industry and community groups (e.g. webinars, conferences, local events,
etc.). This effort will extend through 2022 and beyond, given the nature of landscape
establishment and interest in understanding long-term impacts.
Participant requirements:

E.1. Evaluation criteria
E.1.1. Evaluation Criterion A - Project Benefits (35 Points)
Water Savings - Initial analysis of the residential-scale program demonstrates annual savings
of about 13 gallons per square foot transformed. Average project size is about 1,175 square feet
resulting in over 15 thousand gallons saved per participant per year. A recent study by the
Alliance for Water Efficiency evaluated landscape transformation programs across the country
and found that participants save between 7 and 39 percent, with savings increasing over time
and greater savings from programs with an education component, like our program. By funding
approximately 12 commercial-scale projects, we estimate saving at least 3.1 million gallons per
year, or 9.6 acre-feet per year, if participants simply transform the minimum project size of half
an acre. Savings will be larger if participants transform more area. Reducing demand for treated

10
water, especially during peak irrigation season, will also reduce energy required for treating and
delivering water.
Water supply delivery system: This project will reduce demand on the surface water supply
delivery system, which will help avoid or delay costs associated with increasing water supplies.
Utilities anticipates needing to acquire approximately $25.5 million worth of additional water
rights, some of which can be avoided through cost-effective conservation projects. By reducing
irrigation needs, the project will also reduce peak season and peak day demands. A lower peak
demand will delay and/or reduces the size and cost of future expansions to treatment and
delivery infrastructure.
Water supply reliability: Landscape changes improve resiliency to drought and climate
change. Participants will proactively establish more tolerant landscapes that require less water
long-term, allowing communities and Utilities to navigate future shortages and warmer, drier
climate conditions with fewer impacts. There is a potential for a Compact Call on the Colorado
River, which could impact Utilities’ water supplies from the Colorado-Big Thompson project.
Reducing long-term demand reduces reliance on this potentially less reliable water supply.
Geographic scope of benefits (local, sub-basin, basin): The program will include landscape
transformation projects in the Cache la Poudre sub-basin of the South Platter River basin. By
reducing overall water use, the program will reduce demands on water supplies in both the
South Platte River basin as well as the Colorado River Basin (Colorado-Big Thompson project).
Increased collaboration: Results and other information will be shared through a variety of
venues. Utilities is a member of the Rocky Mountain Section of American Water Works
Association (AWWA) Conservation Committee, where conservation professionals regularly
meet to discuss topics like water efficiency programs, landscape change, drought planning and
more. Utilities partners with other water service providers and managers in the immediate Fort
Collins area and meets regularly with City Planners to discuss how to address water needs and
develop land wisely given high projected population growth. Utilities is a member of Colorado
WaterWise, a regional organization focused on connecting urban water efficiency stakeholders;
information can be shared through their newsletter and/or through their webinar series. Utilities
regularly attends and presents at regional and national conferences. We anticipate presenting
the results of this program at future conferences.
Benefits to local sectors and economies: Due to the scope of commercial projects, all
participants are expected to utilize professional design, irrigation, hardscaping, and/or
landscaping companies. Participants and their contractors will utilize local and regional vendors
and nurseries that specialize in high-efficiency irrigation equipment, and drought tolerant and
waterwise plant materials. In the 2018 season of XIP, total rebates paid were $31,533, while
total project costs equaled $190,882. This suggests that every $1 of rebate incentive generates
just over $6 worth of economic activity in our local green industry. Furthermore, the future

11
maintenance and management of the new landscapes will support local landscape
management companies, which is not captured in this value.
Additional benefits: These transformation projects will demonstrate attractive low-water-use
landscapes, which can boost local support for water efficiency programs and serve as examples
for other HOAs or businesses who are contemplating landscape changes. They will help to
improve familiarity and comfort with low-water and native landscapes. The program will improve
water literacy in the community by educating participants and relevant stakeholders on water
use, climate change, water rates, the cost/value of water service, drought planning, water
supply planning, and more. These “additional” benefits are significant as many Fort Collins
residents are transplants from other parts of the country and are unfamiliar with climate and
water resources challenges in this region.
NRCS: This program does not coincide with or require coordination with NRCS.
E.1.2. Evaluation Criterion B - Planning Efforts Supporting the Project (35 Points)
Fort Collins Utilities has a long-standing Water Conservation Program (since 1977) and has
been proactively planning since the early 1990s. The first Water Demand Management Plan
was created in 1992 and has evolved over the years to what is now two documents: the Water
Supply and Demand Management Policy (WSDMP) and our Water Efficiency Plan (WEP). The
original 1992 plan stated that “water is a limited and vital resource which must be used
efficiently and wisely…the implementation of additional water conservation practices will benefit
the City of Fort Collins by helping to assure continued reliable short- and long-term supplies…”.
The WSDMP directs staff to develop strategies to ensure certain levels of service, one being to
meet demands in a 1-in-50 year drought. As drought is expected to become more frequent
and/or severe, Utilities needs to take on new strategies to prepare our community for a
changing climate.
The WEP, approved by the Colorado Water Conservation Board and City of Fort Collins City
Council in 2016, outlines five critical strategies to achieve the overall goal of reducing our
service area’s water use to 130 gallons per capita per day. This requires an 11 percent
reduction from 2015 use. This program directly addresses four (shown in bold text) of the five
critical strategies and will inform the remaining strategy focused on new development:
1. Leverage Advanced Meter Fort Collins data and capabilities
2. Promote and support greater outdoor water efficiency
3. Encourage greater integration of water efficiency into land use planning and building
codes
4. Expand commercial and industrial strategies
5. Increase community water literacy
The proposal to expand XIP to commercial-scale landscapes is a direct result of our work to
address outdoor water use (2) and work more with commercial customers (4). The results of

Attachment: Exhibit A (7941 : USBR WaterSMART grant RESO)
12
the proposed program will extend beyond the immediate participants by serving as
demonstrations and resources to help others adapt Western landscapes to a changing climate,
increasing community water literacy (5). As noted in the Project Benefits Evaluation Criteria,
commercial-scale landscape transformations have the potential to save 3.1 million gallons, or
9.6 acre-feet of water per year. Savings will be higher if participants take on projects larger than
the minimum requirement (20,000 sq. ft.). Savings will also be greater if we are awarded both
grants, as described in the Expected Results section. Advanced Metering Data (1) in
conjunction with the Landscape Water Budget program will provide water-savings data specific
to each account. Learn more and read the entire Water Efficiency Plan here: fcgov.com/water-
efficiency-plan.
While we have a portfolio of other water conservation and efficiency programs, customers are
currently very interested in pursuing landscape change due to a recent rate increase that is
driving customers to address commercial landscape irrigation. The rate increase is associated
with the projected cost of acquiring additional water resources in an increasingly water-scarce
region of the West. The Colorado Front Range is one of the fastest growing regions and
population growth is putting pressure on water supplies. The rate heavily impacts irrigation
accounts and other commercial accounts that have an annual water allotment - when the
customer uses more than their allotment in a calendar year, they face a hefty surcharge for all
water used for the remainder of the year. The allotment is based on the amount of water
provided for that account at the time of development; when customers go over, Utilities needs to
collect revenue to acquire additional water resources to meet their demand. Reducing customer
water demand benefits both the customer and Utilities - the customer reduces their bill while
Utilities reduces the need to acquire additional water resources. As a result, we are seeking all
opportunities to resource programs and services that will help implement successful
commercial-scale landscape transformation projects to address this timely need.
This proposal aligns with other local planning efforts across the City of Fort Collins. Fort Collins
has an ambitious Climate Action Plan. While emissions related to water plays a relatively small
role in mitigating climate change (our system is nearly all gravity fed and requires little
pumping), we know that addressing water use will be critical in adapting to climate change.
Utilities is conducting a vulnerability study to understand how various vulnerabilities, like climate
change or an impact to infrastructure, will affect water supplies and demand. The results of this
are expected to show that a hotter, drier future requires the community to move toward more
drought-resilient and heat-tolerant landscapes.
The City of Fort Collins just overhauled its comprehensive plan known as “City Plan”. A core
value is sustainability, meaning “Fort Collins is resilient and forward thinking” and that we
manage our water resources for a changing climate. Several policies within City Plan identify
the need to address water efficiency and conservation, including the need to promote reductions
in outdoor water use.

Permits, Engineering, Policies, and Environmental Compliance - Utilities does not
anticipate any permit requirements as all work will be completed on private property on
landscapes and irrigation systems. Utilities does not expect any engineering or design work on
its own behalf. Participants may utilize designers for projects. No new policies or modifications
to existing policies are required to implement this program, other than the Fort Collins City
Council’s approval and execution of the grant agreement with Reclamation. No environmental
compliance plans or estimates are needed.
E.1.4. Evaluation Criterion D - Nexus to Reclamation (10 Points)
Approximately half of Fort Collins Utilities’ water supplies are from the Colorado-Big Thompson
(C-BT) project. Northern Water and Reclamation jointly operate and maintain the C-BT project.
The City owns about 18,855 units of C-BT water. Deliveries depend on the annual quota set by
Norther Water each year. Quotas can range from annual yields of 9,400 acre-feet to 18,800
acre-feet. This grant proposal will help to make more efficient use of the water provided through
the C-BT project; it aligns with Reclamation’s emphasis on leveraging water conservation to
address the competing needs for our limited water resources. Northern Colorado is a fast-
growing region experiencing a transition from agricultural/rural to urban/municipal – both in
terms of our economy and in how our water is used. We need strategies that help support a
growing population and protect our way of life. Reducing demands on our water resources can
free up water to be rented for local agriculture and provide additional water for the environment.
The proposed program is aligned with Reclamation’s Drought Response Program, which
“supports a proactive approach to drought”, as it is designed to improve long-term resiliency to
drought in Fort Collins.
E.1.5. Evaluation Criterion E – Department of Interior Priorities (10 Points)
This proposal supports the DOI priority to Create a conservation stewardship legacy second
only to Teddy Roosevelt. As stated on page 18 of the 2018-2022 DOI Strategic Plan, “The
Western U.S. is one of the fastest growing regions of the county, and urbanization has created
significant demands for water use and service. Stretching existing water supplies for multiple
uses are among the many significant challenges facing Reclamation…Water conservation
programs increase the available water supply and contribute to DOI’s broader objective of
achieving a more sustainable, secure water supply.” Our proposal and its projected water
savings directly contribute to the DOI goal of achieving 1,392,000 acre-feet of water
conservation capacity to address drought by 2022. The results of the proposed program will

extend beyond the immediate participants by serving as demonstrations and resources to help
others adapt Western landscapes to a changing climate.
D.2.2.5. Project Budget
Funding Plan
Utilities requests $75,000 from the Bureau of Reclamation. The total cost of expanding the
Xeriscape Incentive Program is $226,646. If all funding is granted, $165,000 will be used for
landscape project rebates. The remaining $61,646 will cover materials and in-kind salaries and
wages.
x The Utilities commits to providing $34,700 in cash from budgeted department funds and
$46,946 of in-kind services for a total amount of $81,646 to pursue this program expansion
with funds available immediately.
x Utilities has submitted a grant application to the Colorado Water Conservation Board
(CWCB), requesting $70,000. Award announcements will be made in May 2019 with funds
made available in late 2019.
o If CWCB funding is denied, the scale of this program will be downsized by
reducing the amount of rebate dollars available to applicants from $165,000 to
$95,000 and in-kind services reducing to $38,066 due to fewer site visits and
meetings with participants. A letter of commitment is provided in Attachment 2.

D.2.2.6. Environmental and cultural resources compliance
Project impact to surrounding environment - All work will be completed on private property
landscapes and irrigation systems. Some earth-disturbing work will include watered and
maintained turf-grasses being replaced with low- or no-water-use landscaping, as well as
modifying or replacing irrigation systems to accommodate new low-water use landscapes.
Project Impact to threatened or endangered species - While there is no critical habitat in the
project’s area, areas along the Poudre River, one of our two primary sources of water, is a
critical habitat for the Preble’s Meadow Jumping Mouse. Decreasing demand along reaches of
the river may have indirect habitat benefits for the mouse.
Project Impact on wetlands and surface waters - Horsetooth Reservoir and the Poudre River
both fall under CWA jurisdiction as “Waters of the United States.” While the project will occur on
private property, there may be indirect benefits of by reducing long-term demand on these
surface water sources.
When was the water delivery system constructed? - The first waterworks was built in 1883.
A Public Works water department was established in the early 1900s, after obtaining senior
water rights on the Poudre River, expanding the system. In 1938 the Department of Utilities was
created, and the delivery system has continued to grow to meet the population’s demand as
needed.
Project Impact on irrigation systems - Depending on the project, modifications to private
property irrigation systems will be needed to accommodate the new low- or no-water-use
landscaping. There are no planned modifications to the Utilities’ water system.
Project Impact on Historic Places - There are multiple buildings and sites registered on the
National Register of Historic Places within the Utilities’ service area, however projects will not
impact these sites.

Project Impact on Known Archeological Sites - There are no known archeological sites in
the project area.
Project Impact on Low Income or Minority Populations - The project will be open to any
Utilities’ customer and will not have any disproportionately high and adverse effect on low
income or minority populations
Project Impact on Sacred Site or Tribal Lands - The project will have no impact on Indian
sacred sites or tribal lands.
Project Impact on the spread of noxious weeds or non-native invasive species - The
project will only allow installation of regionally adapted or native plants. Spread of noxious
weeds and non-native invasive species is prohibited by Fort Collins Land-Use Code and will be
further enforced through project Monitoring Plans, and project design (e.g. mulching).
D.2.2.7. Required permits or approvals
Utilities does not anticipate any permit requirements as all work will be completed on private
property on landscapes and irrigation systems. No new policies or modifications to existing
policies are required to implement this program, other than the Fort Collins City Council’s
approval and execution of the grant agreement with Reclamation.
Letters of project support

Dear Mr. Reichert and the United States Bureau of Reclamation Grant Board Members,
I fully support the City of Fort Collins’s application for a United States Bureau of Reclamation small
water efficiency grant to support a commercial landscape conversion program. In my current position,
working for Colorado State University Extension in Larimer County as the horticulture agent, I work in
a collaborative nature with the City of Fort Collins and their water conservation efforts. One of
Extension’s outreach efforts is a program called “Lawncheck” which offers on-site turf diagnostics.
This program targets both homeowners and homeowner associations (HOAs). In my experience,
most HOAs and larger multi-family complexes are trying to find ways to reduce water consumption on
their properties and common areas, whether it be replacing irrigation heads, adjusting irrigation
cycles, or changing current plant material to waterwise options. Colorado was the seventh fastest
growing state in 2018 and the increased population means there are increased pressures on available
water.
The City’s proposal to reduce water use through landscape conversions or irrigation technology
upgrades would allow HOAs to apply for funding to assist with these changes. While many HOAs are
interested in conversion options, they are often faced with the inability to make these changes due to
budget restrictions. Further, the projects funded by this grant would require the communities to
demonstrate water savings through follow-up assessments. The goal of these conversions is to
increase water literacy in the City, as well as support other program efforts, such as Nature in the City,
whose goal is to create and enhance additional natural spaces while providing residents access to
nature.
Urban green space is a key part of all communities and the benefits of landscapes are numerous.
Most residents are interested in water conservation but become discouraged when they crunch the
numbers and factor in costs, labor, and maintenance. Supporting this grant effort would help alleviate
some of the budgeting constraints and allow the HOAs to pursue these options. Another similar grant
program, funded by the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, will increase the distribution of
funds and projects throughout the northern Colorado region. As these projects come into fruition, they
can become “models” of what other communities can consider doing to do their part to support water
conservation.
The City of Fort Collins has always been a leader for water conservation and supporting their grant
will continue the positive impacts they have had on the community and reducing water use.
Sincerely,

To become involved in helping the City move forward with our environmental stewardship for our community. I
want to help ensure and improve the quality of life for our community and that of future generations by helping
meet existing City goals (such as those identified in the Climate Action Plan) and help provide guidance for fu-
ture goals.
Very interesting and informative but I wanted to be able to provide my expertise and experience. I feel my
real world experience in the environmental field will be very beneficial to the group. Not only do I have experi-
ence in navigating regulatory processes but I also have passion for taking on tough projects and seeing
them through.
I have a degree in Environmental Engineering and I am a Professional Engineer in Colorado and Wyoming. I
am an ASCE member. I have a strong background in remediation, pollution prevention (air, soil and water),
waste management (hazardous, industrial, commercial and residential) and the oil and gas industry. I also
have interest and experience in sustainability, energy reduction and waste reduction (many of the items identi-
fied in the Fort Collins CAP) and actively help our office participate in Climate Wise. Also a member of Fort

Greenhouse gas reduction and items affecting the Climate Action Plan. The board can help discuss and vet items
to bring to the city council or city departments that can help us meet our climate action goals. Recommendations
from this board may include possible new ordinances, recommendations the city can put toward the community,
such as the recent rebate program for gas powered yard equipment, and recommendations the city can put in
place for Climate Wise, Efficiency Works and other community organizations. Having real world experience within
remediation and Climate Wise practices, i believe i can add more ideas.
The Road to Zero Waste initiative to help the city gain momentum on our road to zero waste. A study by Larimer
County reported that average person in our area generates 7 pounds of waste per day, compared to 4 pounds per day
for the United States. EPA reports that on average, there is a 35 percent recycling rate (recycling and composting).
We need to help our community members lower our waste generation rate and increase our recycling rate. We should
be setting the standard for the US and I believe this board is a good place to start. We can start making recommenda-
tions for how we can accomplish this, such as looking at incentive programs or getting our community members (both
residential and business) more active in setting and striving for personal goals. Climate Wise has a decent start to this
that may be able to transition into other areas of our community.
Water quality and water resources including surface and groundwater quality, water use, and conservation. Water
quality and water use is an important issue in our region, especially with the expected growth of our area in the fu-
ture. We want to have a voice in making sure we have water for our future generations and that the water quality in
our area continues to be better than the standards. Reviewing monitoring reports for local rivers and creeks is
good but we should also be discussing the options to improve the water quality where appropriate. With my exten-
sive background in water quality monitoring, reporting and repediation, I will be a vital asset to help interpret these
reports, analyze the results, explain the findings to others and make recommendations.

Briefly explain what you believe are the three most important issues facing this board or commission, and how do you
believe this board or commission should address each issue?
1) The changing and ever-expanding population of older adults in Fort Collins. Along with this rapidly
increasing demographic comes the need for services, transportation, social needs and creating a community
that is age-friendly and supports these older adults. I believe a data-driven approach is an important
piece, as well as taking care to connect with residents to create sustainable, financially prudent plans
and forecasts of the changing needs.
2) Provide outreach, access and equitable services to all, including unserved and underserved populations,
minorities, Spanish-speaking older adults, disabled persons, lower-income persons, mentally dis-empowered
and disadvantaged. I believe this would require strong local leadership, and a means to achieve outstanding
collaboration and interaction among all area agencies and networks - each understanding (and not duplicating)
services, educational outreach and funding.
3) Address food and housing challenges among those within this expanding demographic and connecting services
to those in need. I believe to address these would mean very strategic assessments, collaboration with
partners, prioritizing needs, working within the values of the mission and planning.

I don't believe this would be a conflict in either direction for UCHealth - but is something we should

1) Gender fluidity: how sex and gender are ever evolving in today's day and age. It is important to
tackle these issues with the community in mind, taking in feedback and applying it, additionally offering
educational opportunities for community members, organizations, and businesses.
2) Income disparities: In my six years in Fort Collins I have seen much growth. The concerns I often hear
in the community are around housing affordability, opportunities for employment, and the middle class
is being pushed out of the City of Fort Collins. I believe it is important to collaborate with local
businesses and organizations to ensure the community has opportunities for growth.
3) Education: In a world where our community has increased instances of mental health impairments, physical,
and intellectual disabilities it is import we consider and evaluate how our education systems are addressing
the needs of an ever-changing community. I believe that this can be addressed through data collection,
research, and evaluation of how our community's needs are being addressed through the educational
system. Looking at clubs, courses, community connections, and employment opportunities.

SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-058 Naming Three Downtown Alleys Within the Block Bounded by South College Avenue,
West Oak Street, South Mason Street and West Mountain Avenue and Renaming a Local Street.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to name three downtown alleys that have recently been improved by the Downtown
Development Authority. The three alleys are located within the block bounded by South College Avenue, West
Oak Street, South Mason Street and West Mountain Avenue. Additionally, staff requests that Pinon Street, a
local street, be renamed to West Suniga Road. The proposed alley names are Beardmore Alley, Godinez
Alley and Reidhead Alley.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Three Newly Renovated Downtown Alleys
Downtown alleys are public rights-of-way. As such, they can only be named by City Council. The Downtown
Development Authority has recently improved several alleys over the years and continues to advise that newly
renovated alleys be named to establish wayfinding, emergency response capability and contribute to a unique
sense of place. Improved downtown alleys that have been named are Harper Goff Alley, Seckner Alley,
Montezuma Fuller Alley, Old Firehouse Alley, Tenney Court, Whitton Court and Trimble Court. Improved
alleys in Campus North (Music District) that have been improved and named are Dalzell Alley, Wattles Alley
and Corbin Alley.
Three additional downtown alleys are in the process of being fully renovated. Construction is mostly complete.
These alleys are located interior to the block bounded by South College Avenue, West Oak Street, South
Mason Street and West Mountain Avenue. Staff recommends naming these alleys in recognition of two
prominent citizens and one notable family who were influential in preserving Downtown’s historic character and
contributing to a vibrant Downtown culture over several decades.
Recommended New Names for the Three Newly Renovated Downtown Alleys
The three new names recommended for the renovated alleys are:
• Beardmore. Dick Beardmore was a passionate historic preservationist and structural / preservation
engineer who made significant contributions to the restoration and renovation of many historic structures in
Fort Collins and throughout Colorado. He taught classes at Colorado State University and helped create
the Center for the Stabilization and Re-Use of Important Structures.

Item # 12 Page 2
• Godinez. For three generations, the Godinez family have owned and operated El Burrito Restaurant at 404
Linden Street, also known to the locals as Sam’s Place. Founded in 1960 by family members, and relying
on the recipes of the matriarch, Augustina Godinez, her sons Jesse, Guillermo and their wives, Dorothy
and Joann, all have collectively contributed to both the culinary and cultural vibrancy of Downtown.
• Reidhead. Jim Reidhead was a local businessman who helped found The Cupboard and who started
restoring Downtown historic buildings in the 1970’s and went on to participate in the original Old Town
Square project. He helped form the Downtown General Improvement District and the Downtown
Development Authority. At Colorado State University, he began a program of technical building
preservation and community development where he worked with cities and towns throughout the state. In
1997, he started the Rural Land Use Center in Larimer County, an innovative conservation-oriented land
development program.
A map indicating the specific alley for each name and the full biographies are attached. (Attachments 1 and
2)
Other Action Required - Renaming Pinon Street
At this time, an additional minor action is required and included in the Resolution. Pinon Street, a local street,
needs to be renamed in order to avoid a name break across College Avenue from Suniga Road. Since this
street is dedicated as public right-of-way, only City Council can rename it.
This is an existing street, only one block long, that intersects North College Avenue approximately 1,700 feet
north of the Poudre River bridge. It is only on the west side of North College Avenue and does not extend
east. As an east-west street, it aligns with the future extension of Suniga Road (arterial) on the east side of
North College Avenue. Suniga Road will be extended this summer from Blondel Street to North College
Avenue. The recommendation is that Pinon Street be renamed to West Suniga Road to not have a name
break at the intersection. (Exhibit B to Resolution 2019-058)
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There is no direct financial cost to selecting three names for the downtown Alleys or renaming Pinon Street.
As with all existing local street and alley names, the cost of installing the new street signs will be borne by the
City of Fort Collins Streets Department and is expected to be negligible.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The selection of the three proposed alley names was assisted by members of the Women’s Commission,
members of the Landmark Preservation Commission, the City of Fort Collins Discovery Science Museum
Archivist, local historians and other interested citizens all of whom participated in an ad hoc resident advisory
committee.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
The ideas for the two names (Beardmore and Reidhead) were initiated by interested residents who observed
the construction activity and then forwarded the names to the Downtown Development Authority. The idea for
the family name (Godinez) was initiated by the Downtown Development Authority.
Based on the precedent for naming upgraded alleys, and the public benefit derived from improved way-finding,
these three names were then forwarded to the CDNS Planning Division for implementation by City Council
Resolution.
All three proposed names were selected from the official List of Names for Arterials and Collectors Streets per
Section 24-91 of the City Code. While alley names are not required to be selected from this List of Names, the
12
Packet Pg. 216
Agenda Item 12
Item # 12 Page 3
establishment the List has proved to be a valuable source for names over the years for naming local streets
and alleys that are not arterial and collector streets.
This List was last updated and approved by City Council in May 2017 by Resolution 2017-048. Public
outreach in 2017 included an open house event, post card mailing, social media outreach, City webpage, and
press release carried in the Fort Collins Coloradoan. In addition, public outreach for the three alley names
included discussion and ratification by an ad hoc resident advisory committee as these names not only are on
the existing List, and therefore found to meet the criteria of City Code Section 24-91 but are also highly
contextual and contribute to creating a unique sense of place. This is the same outreach process as for the
three alley names in the Campus North - Music District (Resolution 2012-100).
All property owners within the affected downtown block have been notified. There is only one affected property
owner on Pinon Street who has also been notified of the pending name change.

Obituary for Dick Beardmore
Richard “Dick” Beardmore, 64, of Fort Collins, CO, died
peacefully at his home July 24, 2013, surrounded in love by
his family. Dick was caring, kind, gentle, and always a
positive person, with a keen sense of humor. A memorial
service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, August 3, 2013 at
Christ United Methodist Church, 301 East Drake Road, Fort Collins, Colorado. Dick was born
January 14, 1949 in Lancaster, Ohio to Charles and Louella Beardmore. His early life was spent
on the family farm just outside of Bremen, Ohio. During his teen years they moved into town.
Dick graduated from Fairfield Union High School in 1967. His education continued at the
University of Cincinnati, obtaining Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Civil/Structural
Engineering. On September 6, 1970, he married his high school sweetheart, and true love,
Sandy Fahrer. They were blessed to have a son Brett Alexander, and shared 42 wonderful
years together. Dick’s professional career as a structural/preservation engineer began in
Cincinnati, Ohio with McClurg, Smith & Associates. The firm was restructured into A-E Design
Associates, and in 1980 Dick became the Colorado Branch Manager. In April of 1987 he
purchased A-E Design, became president and reorganized the firm with a special emphasis on
preservation of historic buildings. He taught classes at CSU in the Construction Management
Department and helped create the Center for the Stabilization and Reuse of Important
Structures. Preservation became Dick’s legacy and life’s passion. His contributions are evident
throughout Old Town Fort Collins, and all around Colorado, helping many communities preserve
and restore historic structures.

Dick Beardmore – Nomination for Urban Design Award
Dick Beardmore is one of the most experienced and qualified preservationist in the
State of Colorado. By profession he is a structural and civil engineer, but his knowledge
of building systems, architectural styles, history and movements have served the
profession well. Since 1987, when he opened his firm A-E Design Associates, he has
embraced the unique challenges inherent in the restoration, rehabilitation and
preservation of historic buildings and structures. His firm’s projects are as diverse as
Colorado’s geography. From small towns on the eastern plains to thriving resort
communities in the mountains, Dick works with local leaders and concerned citizens to
develop a project plan specific to a community’s needs, and more specifically, a plan
that protects and preserves the integrity of the historic building.
Dick’s belief that “the building is the client” has led him to be a minimalist in the
preservation of buildings. He utilizes his knowledge of the Secretary of Interior
Standards and building code provisions to educate owners, building officials,
contractors, and other architects and engineers on how to implement modern codes and
integrate contemporary systems into a historic building, while preserving the historic
fabric, character and integrity of the building.
He often speaks about how a historic building has withstood the test of time and that its
systems are failing due to age, not because of structural or material deficiencies. Thus,
his approach is very unique. He views each and every building as if it is a gem in the
rough and only needs tender loving care and attention to bring it back to its former glory.
He prides himself on restoring the structural integrity of a building. He does this by
restoring its historic materials and only installing new matching materials when the
historic is beyond repair or restoration. This approach has allowed him to preserve over
300 buildings and structures in the State of Colorado!
Dick’s commitment to preservation is not limited to his projects. He has spent his career
educating his peers, building officials, clients and communities about his unique
minimalist approach to preservation. He began early in his career by founding and co-
directing the Center for the Stabilization and Reuse of Important Structures at Colorado
State University and assisting in the development of the Institute for the Built
Environment (now one of the country’s leaders in green building technology), and the
Colorado Applied Preservation Initiative for Training and Leadership (CAPITAL).
As a professor at CSU, he taught students how to complete historic research, grant
writing and the preparation of National Register Nominations. He currently serves on
the Advisory Committee to the Colorado Mountain College Historic Preservation
programs and has been a professor at the college for the past 3 years. Dick also
regularly presents at conferences in subjects ranging from how to rehabilitate an historic
steam heating system to the application of minimalistic engineering solutions. His
presentations are always unique, informative and above all educational.
12.2

Attachment: Biographies (7932 : Naming Three Downtown Alleys)
Dick’s volunteer achievements have been equally impressive. He served on the board
of the National Association of Preservation Commissions, was a founding member of
Colorado Preservation Inc., served eight years on the Fort Collins Landmark
Preservation Commission as its Chairman and was a member of the Poudre Landmarks
Foundation Board.
Since 1987, Dick has been responsible for the repair, restoration, stabilization,
conservation, grant procurement and preservation master planning of over 5,100,000
square feet of Colorado’s heritage – much of it in Fort Collins. A first project was the
restoration and rehabilitation of the Kissock Block on East Mountain Avenue, done so
well that the National Advisory Council for Historic Preservation could not distinguish the
historic and after pictures apart.
He assisted in the Old Town Square Redevelopment project, rehabilitations of the
Opera Galleria and the Starry Nights Café building, the Linden Hotel, the
Trimble/Barkley Blocks, Silver Grill, Robertson/Haynes Block, First Baptist Church,
Armstrong Hotel, 1884 Waterworks, 1907 Streetcar Barn, Avery House & Carriage
House, the Coy Barn and Silos, the Northern Hotel, Colorado & Southern Freight
Deport, Old Corner Bookstore, the massive Avery Block, and more. In short, he has
had a hand in just about every restoration and rehabilitation in Fort Collins.
It is an honor to nominate Dick for this special award. All who have known and worked
with him have benefitted immeasurably from his technical expertise and minimalist
approach. Through his passion for his work, and his true humility in its execution, Dick
Beardmore truly epitomizes the spirit of the Urban Design Award and is eminently
worthy of this recognition.

Augustina Ayala Godinez
Source: Exhibit Research from Fort Collins Museum, 2006
The transition of Fort Collins from a frontier settlement into a developing city is
rooted in the hard work of countless individuals. Early local history books provide
numerous accounts of the men who “founded” Fort Collins, but rarely do they
mention the role of women. The women of Fort Collins were visionaries, business
leaders, community builders, free spirits, mothers, and more—they helped turn
Fort Collins into the civic and business minded community that it is today.
One such woman was Augustina Ayala Godinez. Augustita Ayala was born in
La Varca, Jalisco, Mexico in 1908. At the age of eight she moved, by train, with
her parents and 18 siblings to Fort Collins to work in the agricultural fields.
Augustina taught herself how to read, write, and speak both Spanish and
English. As a young child, Augustina learned how to cook from her elders, and by
the time she was 11 years old she was cooking for her entire family.
Augustina Ayala married Jesse Godinez Sr. in 1926. Together they raised six
boys. In 1941, while Jesse was working in the fields, a sunstroke took his life at
the age of 33. Augustina and her family not only continued to work in the fields
and orchards but also began selling burritos and soda pop to the field workers
out of their 1929 Chevy. In 1944, Augustina expanded her business into the first
Mexican café in Fort Collins, the Sinaloa Restaurant. She managed the café for
five years before switching to a catering business.
Augustina eventually closed her catering business, but two of her sons continued
in the food industry. Inspired by their mother’s culinary talents and authentic
recipes, Jesse Jr. and Guillermo Godinez opened El Burrito Restaurant at 404
Linden Street on September 23, 1960. Augustina was given the title of head chef
and was once again cooking up the family’s secret recipes for green chili,
tortillas, taco shells, and sopapillas.
Augustina died in 1991 at the age of 83 but her family is still cooking the recipes
that Augustina’s elders taught her in La Varca, Jalisco, Mexico.

Godinez, Jesse
Local Hispanic business owner who founded El Burrito and mentored youth
through employment. Served in the United States Military.
Obituary for Jesse A. Godinez
Jesse A. Godinez, 82, of Ft. Collins and founder of the El Burrito
Restaurant died February 22, 2017. Jesse was the fifth son born to Jesus
Godinez and Agustina Ayala Godinez in a house on Cherry Street, in Fort
Collins, CO., on February 15, 1935.
He was preceded in death by Jesus(Father), Agustina (Mother), Nick(brother), Joe(brother)and
Ariana (granddaughter).
Survived by Dorothy Flores Godinez(wife), Daughters: Christi Godinez (Gary Gabaldon); Mona
Godinez (Tony Ortiz); Connie Godinez (Phil Campbell); Gigi Godinez, and Jessi Hoodak.
Grandchildren Anthony Ortiz (Janet), Isabella Cordova, Amanda Hoodak, Samantha Hoodak,
Alison Hoodak and Great grandchildren Anthony Ortiz, Jr., Theresa Ortiz, Catrina Manchego,
Jolene Ortiz, and Christopher Ortiz.
Jesse was born in the middle of the Great Depression and at a time of extreme racism but that
never stopped him from attaining his goals. At the age of four his father passed away and he
remembers not being able to attend his fathers' funeral because he didn't have shoes. In the
early days, with his widowed mother, he would help dole out burritos to the migrant farm
workers for a small fee.
When he began school, he only knew Spanish but was only allowed to speak English. For fear
of corporal punishment, he quickly learned English. Jesse graduated from Fort Collins High
school and married his high school sweetheart Dorothy, in 1957. He went on to finish two years
of College and was drafted in between semesters. He served twice and was very proud of
serving his country.
After serving the first tour, he returned home at the young age of 23, missing his Mom's
cooking, he put his entrepreneurial skills to the test. With the help and encouragement from his
wife, Dorothy(co-owner); mother, Agustina (Chef 1960-1986); brothers, Joe (logo artist),
Guillermo (partner 1960-1981); Augie (manager 1960-1991); and sister in-laws, JoAnn and
Rose, on September 23, 1960, El Burrito Cafe (Sam's Place) was born.
In business, he was the man behind the scenes, running the show incognito. He loved being in
business. He referred to El Burrito as his "baby." Walking the perimeter each morning and
making mental notes. Throughout the last 57 years, there have been numerous people who
have helped fulfill and continue to fulfill his dream and legacy. His stubborn and optimistic view
helped accomplish anything he set his focus on. As a worker bee, he wore many hats...and
wouldn't have had it any other way. At any given time, he oversaw and physically labored as
chef, accountant, manager, and maintained the upkeep of his business.
Family was very important to this man whenever anyone needed help he was there. He was
there for anyone, really. He didn't realize how much of an impact he had on the community.
12.2
Packet Pg. 223
Attachment: Biographies (7932 : Naming Three Downtown Alleys)
Throughout the years, he helped so many young people through employment and advice. He
was always ready and willing to help anyone who wanted to fulfill their own entrepreneurial
dreams, clear to the end of his life. His "baby" is Celebrating 57 years with the same family at
the same location. It was and still is a family affair, his bond runs deep. Now operated by the
3rd, 4th and 5th generations of Godinez's and their extended family.
Jesse was a very generous man (especially with advice). He was a kind man, a true
entrepreneur, and most of all he was a Great Dad. If his body would have allowed, he would still
be walking the perimeter of El Burrito Restaurant "Sam's," and making mental to do notes. Rest
in peace Jess, Dad, friend, entrepreneur, good citizen, and mentor. A big grateful thanks to
everyone who consoled and helped during this trying time. Those of you who knew him stop by
El Burrito and share your stories, the Family would love to hear them.

Reidhead, James (Jim)
Local businessperson and preservationist who helped start The Cupboard
and many Downtown Fort Collins initiatives.
Obituary for James D. Reidhead
Jim Reidhead, 67, of Fort Collins, died at home in the early hours of
November 1, 2016, from complications of treatment for leukemia.
Jim was born on April 19, 1949, in West Palm Beach, Florida, to Paris and
Marjorie Reidhead. He grew up in Florida, New Jersey, and on a farm in
Catskill Mountains of New York. He graduated from Cornell University in 1971 with a degree in
General Agriculture. He and his wife, Donna, were married before their senior year at Cornell.
After graduation, Jim and Donna moved to Colorado where Jim built turkey barns while Donna
went to graduate school.
In 1972 Jim started The Cupboard with his partner Carey Hewitt. It remains a mainstay on
College Avenue in Old Town today. Jim went on to restore several buildings in Old Town,
including one at 235 Linden Street where he and Donna lived upstairs for several years.
Jim was part of the original Old Town Square project working with Gene Mitchell to bring this
area of Fort Collins to a new life. He helped to form the Downtown General Improvement District
and the Downtown Development Authority. To celebrate the opening of the first downtown
parking garage, he made an appearance as Captain Renovator, along with General Parking
(the late Dick Beardmore). Jim was also called the Old Town Busy-body by some…
Jim worked as the Director of Land Planning and Marketing at Phantom Canyon Ranch, helping
to preserve over 10,000 acres of land, including one of the last remaining road-less canyons in
Colorado.
At Colorado State University, Jim began a program of technical building preservation and
community development where he worked with cities and towns throughout the state.
In 1997 Jim started the Rural Land Use Center in Larimer County, an innovative conservation-
oriented land development program.
In 2007 Jim was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. He underwent chemotherapy at
Poudre Valley Hospital, and then a stem cell transplant at Presbyterian St. Luke’s Hospital in
Denver in 2008. These treatments saved his life but left him with complications of Graft Versus
Host Disease and other medical adventures that filled file cabinets with records (and bills!).
Many doctors and medical staff in Fort Collins and Denver worked very hard to allow Jim to live
more than nine years from his original diagnosis. We would especially like to thank Dr. Miho
Scott, Oncologist; Dr. Christie Reimer, Internal Medicine; Dr. Jacob Ong, Infectious Diseases;
Jessica Goodwin, Nurse; all from University of Colorado Health; Dr. Peter McSweeney,
Transplant Specialist; and Sarah Meissner, Transplant Nurse Coordinator; from the Colorado
Blood Cancer Institute.

Jim Reidhead was a man of many talents. He was a self-taught maker of furniture, and he died
in the bed he made by hand for his new marriage. He and his wife enjoyed backpacking in
Colorado and canoeing in wilderness areas of Ontario, Canada. Jim loved to undertake difficult
problems and to bring diverse people together. Until his last days he was planting ideas in the
minds of his friends to tackle issues like land planning, the urban-wildlife interface, and
downtown parking troubles, along with other philosophical, germane, or silly topics. He was a
founding member of No Holds Barred, the Tuesday Night Beer-swilling Group (at
Coopersmith’s), and the No Expectations Philosophy Club.
Jim was a kind and gentle person, a loving husband, and an amazing father. He is survived by
his wife of 46 years, Donna Reidhead; two sons: Ben Reidhead and his wife Erin, their three
daughters Caroline, Annelise, and Lydia, all of Cleveland Heights, Ohio; and Chris Reidhead
and his fiancée Taylor Dittman of Fort Collins. Also surviving are his mother, Marjorie Nash
Reidhead of Ohio; two brothers, Paris Reidhead of New York and David Reidhead of Delaware;
and two sisters, Ginny Teit of Ohio and Julia Reidhead of New York City. His father, Paris
Reidhead and one sister, Sarah Armstrong, preceded him in death.
All through his life, Jim worked to make things better – in Fort Collins, in Larimer County, in
Colorado – for the cities, for the land and for the people he met. He will be greatly missed by
many.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY May 7, 2019
City Council
STAFF
Ted Shepard, Chief Planner
Brad Yatabe, Legal
SUBJECT
Resolution 2019-059 Revising the List of Names for Arterial and Collector Streets.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to update the list of names for arterial and collector streets in accordance with City
Code Section 24-91.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Recommended New Names to be Added to the List
Staff recommends 40 new names be added to the list. Two years ago, during City Council discussion of the
naming Cordova Street and Harper Goff Alley and adding nine new names to the List of Names, City Council
directed staff to consider additional names that would specifically address the gender imbalance of the current
list of names. These recommended new names are a response to that request. This item also includes the
deletion of six names. The revised list that includes existing names, proposed names and deleted names is
attached. (Attachment 1)
Updating the List of Names Per City Code Section 24-91
City Code Section 24-91 requires that the names of arterial and collector streets be selected by City Council by
Resolution from the list of names for arterial and collector streets. The list of street names may also be
amended by Council to add additional names for consideration. Per City Code:
“The list of street names shall be composed of names of natural areas, natural features,
historic and/or well-known places, citizens of the City or Growth Management Area whom the
City Council would like to honor posthumously, and such other names of places, things or
deceased persons as the City Council may approve. With respect to citizens of the City whom
the City Council desires to honor posthumously, such citizens must have devoted much time
and effort to the City either as a former City officer or employee, a former Colorado State
University officer or employee, a person important in the founding of the City or a former
citizen of exemplary character deserving of special recognition.”
The list of names is updated by City Council Resolution periodically as needed in order to name new streets,
rename existing streets add new names and delete names already selected or found to be duplicates or
phonetic sound-alikes within Larimer County.

Last Update - May 2017
On May 16, 2017, City Council adopted Resolution 2017-048 which accomplished the following:
• Named a new collector street in northeast Fort Collins “Cordova Street” in honor the contributions to our
community of six generations of the Cordova family.
• Named an improved downtown alley between Pine Street and Jefferson Street “Harper Goff Alley” in honor
of Harper Goff, a Fort Collins native, who, as a set designer for Walt Disney, used Downtown as a model
for Disneyland’s Main Street USA.
• Updated the List by adding the following nine names:
o Steely, William
o Isabelle Gavaldon (Name to be Isabelle at family’s request)
o Godinez
o Gallegos, Edward
o Sanchez, Tony
o Apodoca, Barney
o Beardmore, Dick
o Everitt, Robert
o Reidhead, Jim
• Deleted two names
o Suniga, Lee (selected)
o Glover, George (duplicate)
Other Action Required - Deleting Selected Names
In keeping the list of names properly updated, the Resolution includes deleting names that have been selected
or have been found to be duplicates or phonetic sound-alikes. (Note: emergency providers also respond to
building names.)
• Harper Goff - selected as public downtown alley.
• William Steely - selected as a local public local street in the Northfield Subdivision.
• Clara Hatton - duplicates a CSU building name at 200 E. Lake Street.
• Guy Palmes - duplicates an existing street name.
• Lawrence Durrell - duplicates the Durrell Center on CSU campus.
• Teller Ammons - duplicates Ammons Hall on CSU Campus.
Street Naming Background
The List of Names for Arterial and Collector Streets was first formed in 1985. The original list consisted of
names suggested only by the City of Fort Collins and Colorado State University and there is no evidence of
any public outreach. The list lay dormant for years and was not utilized until 1999. Since 1999, it has been
updated by Council Resolution 11 times. Staff anticipates that continuous updates will be forwarded to Council
as the City continues to see development of large tracts of land such as Montava and Hughes Stadium and
annexations into the Growth Management Area, including the East Mulberry Corridor. A chronology of street
naming from 1999 to 2017 is attached. (Attachment 2 )
No Streets to be Named at this Time
There are no arterial or collector streets to be named at this time. (Three downtown alleys are to be named by
separate Resolution.) This action enriches the List of Names and will provide City Council a more diverse
selection process at the next naming opportunity. Council will be informed of any pending arterial or collector
street naming ahead of the agenda item summary in order to allow input and comment on the selection

Agenda Item 13
Item # 13 Page 3
process. Local streets in subdivisions under review may select a name from the List without Council action but
only as long as the street is not existing public right-of-way.
“Cherryhurst” is being added back on to the List. It was selected for use in the Waterfield Third Filing
Subdivision, but the name is being replaced by an extension of an existing street, “Turnberry Road” as a result
of an amendment to the Master Street Plan in conjunction with Waterfield Fourth Filing Subdivision.
(Attachment 3)
The standards for street naming are attached for reference. (Attachment 4)
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
There are no financial impacts in updated the List.
BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
In May 2017, City Council directed staff to reach out to the Women’s Commission to assist in the brainstorming
of new names. Members of the Women’s Commission participated in this latest effort as did members of the
Landmark Preservation Commission. The League of Women Voters also submitted names for the List.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Public outreach for this round of new names consisted primarily of an ad hoc resident advisory committee
consisting of knowledgeable and interested individuals. As noted, City Council expressed that an emphasis be
placed on addressing the gender imbalance on The List. A variety of expertise and interests were represented
including members of the Women’s Commission and the Landmark Preservation Commission. Also included
were the current and former Fort Collins Discovery Science Museum Archivists as well as the CSU Vice
President for Diversity. Other members included local historians, historic preservation planners and current
and former city planners. With the challenge of addressing the gender imbalance, the committee researched
and discussed a number of new names as well as evaluating for compliance with City Code Section 24-91.
Input was also received from the League of Women Voters.
An advisory committee was also used in 2006 when the number of names was significantly reduced after an
analysis for duplicates and phonetic sound-alikes. This committee brainstormed the addition of 41 new
names; the last significant update to the List.
The new recommended names are being forwarded for inclusion based on solid research with individuals
having ties to the community, historic significance, exemplary character and for their contributions to public
service.

RESOLUTION 2019-059
OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
REVISING THE LIST OF NAMES FOR ARTERIAL AND COLLECTOR STREETS
WHEREAS, Section 24-91 of the City Code provides for the City Council to name
arterial and collector streets from a list of names selected by the City Council by resolution,
which list of names shall be composed of names of natural areas, natural features, historic and/or
well-known places, citizens of the City or growth management area whom the City Council
would like to honor posthumously, and such other names of places, things or deceased persons as
the City Council may approve; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the names “Harper Goff,” “William
Steely,” “Clara Hatton,” “Guy Palmes,” “Lawrence Durrell,” and “Teller Ammons” should be
removed from the City’s list of names for arterial and collector streets because such names have
already been used for alleys, non-arterial and collector streets, and buildings within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has further determined that the forty names listed in
Exhibit “A,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, qualify for inclusion on
the list of arterial and collector street names in accordance with Section 24-91 and should be
included.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS as follows:
Section 1. That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and
findings contained in the recitals set forth above.
Section 2. That the list of names for arterial and collector streets be revised by the
removal of the names “Harper Goff,” “William Steely,” “Clara Hatton,” “Guy Palmes,”
“Lawrence Durrell,” and “Teller Ammons.”
Section 3. That the list of names for arterial and collector streets be revised by the
addition of the forty names listed in Exhibit “A”, and that the full list of names shown on Exhibit
“B” attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference shall be the approved arterial and
collector street names.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins this 7th
day of May, A.D. 2019.
