Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent Calendar consists of: ● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine; ● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine; ● Those of no perceived controversy; ● Routine administrative actions. 1. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 105, 2018, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for Lincoln Center Improvements. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, appropriates funds set aside by the Lincoln Center into reserves to replace aisle lighting in the Performance Hall as part of the seat replacement project. 2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 106, 2018, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue from the Colorado Energy Office in the Light and Power Fund for the HOME Efficiency Loan Program/On-Bill Financing Program. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, appropriates $200,000 in grant revenues from the Colorado Energy Office in the Fort Collins Utilities Light and Power fund for the purposes of developing and capitalizing Utilities On-Bill Financing (OBF) program. The program will provide utility bill serviced loans for energy efficiency and renewable energy, with a focus on efficiency in rental properties for low- to moderate-income households. 3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 107, 2018, Amending Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Regarding Model Rocketry. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, amends City Code to allow model rocketry activities under a permit issued by the Parks Department. Model rocketry is currently allowed by City Code in areas that are signed for the use. There are no areas currently signed for this use. This change would allow for the development of an internal policy for the safe and appropriate use of model rockets in the parks system and issuance of a permit for that use. 4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 108, 2018, Amending Chapter 12, Article X, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Remove the Small Scale Source Definition and Warning Requirements for Fugitive Dust. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, amends the City Code, Chapter 12, Article X, to remove small source written warning requirements for violations, and instead applies the City’s standard citation procedure for civil infractions, which allows the option for written warnings. This simplifies education, outreach and enforcement related to fugitive dust. 5. Items Relating to Adequate Public Facilities for Transportation. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 109, 2018, Amending Article 3 of the Land Use Code Regarding Adequate Public Facilities Standards for Transportation Levels of Service. B.

City of Fort Collins Page 4 These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, amends the Land Use Code (“LUC”) and the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards (“LCUASS”) as they relate to Adequate Public Facilities (“APF”) standards for transportation levels of service. The changes will make the standards current and consistent and provide for Alternative Mitigation Strategies in cases where typical improvements are not feasible, not proportional to impact, or not desired by the City. 6. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 111, 2018 Authorizing the Lease of, and the Grant of an Option to Purchase City-Owned Property at 317 and 321 South Sherwood Street to Faith Family Hospitality of Fort Collins, Inc.

This facility will allow FFH to expand its program to include transitional housing. FFH is requesting a less than market lease rate of $25 per month for a period of up to 25 years, including an option to purchase said property between the third year and fifteenth year of the lease at a purchase price of $700,000. This purchase price was supported by the Council Finance Committee. 7. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 112, 2018, Declaring Certain City-Owned Property on North College Avenue as Road Right-of-Way for Suniga Road. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, declares property owned by the City as road right-of-way to be constructed and used for Suniga Road at College Avenue. The City owns a parcel of property located at 1000 North College Avenue. In 2018, the City Engineering Department designed improvements for the Suniga Road and College Avenue connection across the City’s property. The project will construct a new arterial roadway between College Avenue and Blondel Street. Improvements include construction of a complete arterial street which includes 4 travel lanes, protected bike lanes, landscaped parkways, medians, sidewalks and utility improvements. This Ordinance officially declares this City owned parcel needed for Suniga Road as road right-of-way. 8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 113, 2018, Amending Chapter 7 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Amend Requirements and Procedures Related to Campaigns and Campaign Finance in City Election. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, amends the City’s election campaign code provisions that will raise the threshold requirement for reporting of independent expenditures, ensure that the campaign violation complaint process applies to reporting of independent expenditures, and require “paid for by” disclaimers on campaign communications. There are also various clean-up items that provide changes for added clarity and to reconcile conflicts created by the proposed amendments. Minor edits have been made to the Ordinance between First and Second Reading to refine language in three places as shown in the Ordinance. 9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 114, 2018, Amending Article 3 of the Land Use Code Regarding Buffering Requirements for Development in Relation to Oil and Gas Facility Locations. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on August 21, 2018, amends the Land Use Code related to buffering new development from existing oil and gas wells. The amendments include the following Code changes: 1. Increase buffer for residential development near existing oil and gas operations from 350 feet to 500 feet. 2. Add a new 1000-foot buffer requirement for high occupancy buildings near oil and gas operations. 3. Allow a reduced setback (150 feet minimum) near plugged and abandoned wells if specific requirements and performance standards are met. City of Fort Collins Page 5 4. Create an additional means of disclosure to future property owners as part of any required recorded declaration. Staff proposes additional language relating the measurement of buffers around oil and gas wells. Based on new information received between first and second reading from the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC), staff determined that an additional revision would be necessary to align the proposed ordinance with the original intent for the code changes, which was to match any changes to COGCC regulations that would result in more protective buffers. 10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 115, 2018, Amending Section 2-636 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Conform to Recently Amended Section 7-133 The purpose of this item is to amend Section 2-636 of the City Code relating to financial disclosure statements to conform the language to Section 7-133 of the City Code relating to the timely filing of financial disclosure statements by candidates for a mayoral or Council seat. 11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 116, 2018, Amending Chapter 26 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Extend Tiered Electric Rates Into 2019 for Customers Enrolled in Manually-Read Metering Services. The purpose of this item is to request an extension of the tiered Residential Energy Rate for a subset of customers who have manually-read electric meters. City Electric Utility personnel have just learned that the expected order of electric meters necessary to implement the time-of-day (TOD) rate for customers who have manually-read meters will not arrive in time to appropriately implement the TOD rate for those customers on schedule. Implementation of the TOD rate for all other applicable customer classes starts on October 1, 2018.
