Items Relating to the Adoption and Amendment of the International Codes Relating to Buildings and Building Regulations. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 150, 2018, Amending Chapter 5, Article II, Division 2, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Repealing the 2015 Energy Conservation Code and Adopting the 2018 International Energy Conservation Code, with Amendments. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 152, 2018, Amending Chapter 5, Article II, Division 2, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Adopting the 2018 International Existing Building Code, with Amendments. C. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 153, 2018, Amending Chapter 5, Article II, Division 2, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Adopting the 2018 International Pool and Spa Code, with Amendments. D. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 154, 2018, Amending Chapter 5, Article II, Division 3, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Amending the 2006 International Property Maintenance Code. E. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 155, 2018, Amending Chapter 5, Article IV, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Repealing the 2015 Mechanical Code and Adopting the 2018 International Mechanical Code, with Amendments. F. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 156, 2018, Amending Chapter 5, Article IV, of the Code of the City of Fort Collins for the Purpose of Repealing the 2015 International Fuel Gas and Adopting the 2018 International Fuel Gas Code, with Amendments. These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 18, 2018, adopt the most up- to-date, comprehensive, and fully integrated body of codes, the 2018 International Codes (2018 I- Codes), regulating building construction and systems using prescriptive and performance-related provisions. The purpose of these Codes is to establish the minimum construction requirements to safeguard the public health, safety and general welfare by regulating structural strength and stability, sanitation, light and ventilation, energy conservation, and property protection from hazards attributed to the built environment within the City of Fort Collins. With factoring in local amendment costs, it is estimated the overall cost increase to build under the 2018 codes is less than 1%. Note to Council: Please note that unlike ordinances normally adopted on Second Reading, the attached Ordinances still contain strikeouts and new language to clearly reflect the modifications made by local amendment to the various uniform Codes being adopted. Each Ordinance authorizes the City Attorney and the City Clerk to modify the formatting and to make such other amendments to the Ordinances as necessary to facilitate publication in the Fort Collins Municipal Code, so long as such modifications and amendments do not change the substance of the Code provisions.

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 173, 2018 Submitting a Citizen-Initiated Charter Amendment Relating to Council Compensation to a Vote of the Registered Electors of the City at the Regular Municipal Election on April 2, 2019. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 18, 2018, sets the ballot title for a citizen-initiated Charter amendment relating to Council compensation. 3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 175, 2018, Amending Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Related to Funding of Art in Public Places Contributions for Connexion and the Expenditure of Utilities Art in Public Places Funds and Rescinding Funds Provisionally Appropriated for Such Contributions. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 18, 2018, authorizes a delayed payment in early 2023 based on the 2022 operating revenue of Connexion, along with an ongoing Art in Public Places (APP) obligation going forward, consistent with the principles of the APP program (treating Connexion as separate from the Light and Power Fund). This Ordinance also adds back into the APP provisions of the City Code language that was inadvertently omitted in 2012, when the APP Code provisions were rewritten. At the Council’s request, the Ordinance is being amended on Second Reading to make clear that any future changes to the APP Code provisions will also apply to Connexion. 4.

The purpose of this item is to approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the City and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for the City to maintain traffic control devices (signals, signs, and markings) on state highways within the City's Growth Management Area with reimbursement from CDOT. This is the continuation of a long-standing agreement that benefits both parties as City control allows the City to best serve residents and CDOT has fewer maintenance responsibilities. The IGA is for a five-year period and covers fiscal years 2019-2023. This IGA reflects updated costs from the previous long-term agreement. City of Fort Collins Page 5 6. Resolution 2019-002 Authorizing the Mayor to Execute a Renewal of an Intergovernmental Agreement with Larimer County to Continue Support for the Larimer County Conservation Corps Water and Energy Program. The purpose of this item is to seek City Council approval of a renewed intergovernmental agreement (IGA) between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County for funding of the Larimer County Conservation Corp (LCCC) Water and Energy Program. The IGA allows for four further annual renewals for a total of five years, based on budget appropriations. The City of Fort Collins Utilities has partnered with the LCCC since 2010 with tremendous success. LCCC crews have supported local resource conservation by providing home efficiency assessments to customers of Fort Collins Utilities and Loveland Water and Power. Home efficiency assessments include an on-site assessment, energy and water saving retrofits and customer education. By the end of the 2018 spring season, LCCC crews have assessed over 3,200 homes in Fort Collins and enabled these customers to save on their utility bills. Due to its success, the Program is now part of the City’s Utilities Affordability Portfolio, which provides a mechanism for low to moderate income customers to control their energy use and costs for the benefit of all City electric and water utility customers. 7. Resolution 2019-003 Approving a Waiver of the 2017 PILOT for Housing Catalyst. The purpose of this item is to approve a waiver of the 2017 PILOT of $9,638 for Housing Catalyst per the 1971 Cooperative Agreement. 8.
