Items Relating to the Fire Protection Capital Expansion Fee. A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 086, 2018, Amending Section 7.5-30 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Relating to the Adjustment of the Fire Protection Capital Expansion Fee. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 087, 2018, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves from the Fire Protection Capital Expansion Fee Account Within the Capital Expansion Fee Fund to Reimburse Building Permit Applicants for Overpayment of the Fire Protection Capital Expansion Fee. The purpose of this item is to adjust the Fire Protection Capital Expansion Fee (Fire CEF) consistent with correct calculations and to appropriate funds from the Fire CEF Account in the Capital Expansion Fee Fund to reimburse fee payers for overpayments back to October 1, 2017. Consulting firm Duncan City of Fort Collins Page 5 Associates discovered there was a cell reference error in their formula used for the City’s 2017 Capital Expansion Fee Study. This error caused the Fire CEF to be overstated by 19%. The City Council approved 75% of the proposed fee increases in the City’s Capital Expansion Fees (CEFs), which went into effect October 1, 2017. Due to the error in the Fire CEF calculation, the Fire CEF was set at 90% instead of 75% of the 2017 proposed fee level. The estimated total refund due to fee payers is approximately $130,000. 8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 088, 2018, Amending Section 2-31 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Concerning Executive Sessions Pertaining to Telecommunication Facilities and Services. The purpose of this item is to update City Code consistent with the November 7, 2017 voter-approved Charter amendment providing for telecommunication facilities and services (broadband) as part of the City’s Electric Utility. The Charter amendment also authorized the Council and any board or commission established under the Charter amendment to go into executive session to consider issues of competition in providing telecommunication facilities and services. The proposed Ordinance amends City Code Section 2-31 to permit executive sessions for such purposes. 9. Resolution 2018-068 Approving the 2018 Certification to the Larimer County Assessor Pursuant to C.R.S. Section 31-25-807(3)(a)(IV)(B) for the Downtown Development Authority Property Tax Increment.
