Items Relating to the Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) Concerning the Police Regional Training Campus.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2019-028 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the City of Loveland for the Construction, Ownership, Operation, Maintenance, and Management of a
Regional Training Campus.
B. Resolution 2019-029 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between the City and
the City of Loveland for the Use of Certain Real Property at the Northern Colorado Regional Airport for a
Regional Training Campus.
The purpose of this item is to consider two resolutions related to the Police Regional Training Campus joint
venture with the City of Loveland.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Resolutions.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Police Regional Training Campus
In 2014, the City of Fort Collins and City of Loveland held a joint Council session to discuss the possibility of a
police training facility (Training Campus) to be shared between the two agencies and to act as a regional
resource for our neighbors. The Training Campus would be located on a portion of the Northern Colorado
Regional Airport. There were needs and benefits identified to provide a better facility for training of both
agencies. Some of the benefits identified were:
• Ensure a highly trained, efficient world class operation
• Develop a center that allows for current and future growth
• Ability to train together with multiple jurisdictions (many high-profile incidents are multi-jurisdictional)
• Provide members of law enforcement, fire, government, and private entities a venue for training
• Fulfill Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) training requirements
In 2017, Fort Collins and Loveland City Councils entered into an IGA that jointly approved design work to begin
on the facility. There were some assumptions made as part of the partnership: Facility was to be jointly owned
and operated and costs are split 50/50; Loveland will take the lead on contracts for design and construction
administration with Fort Collins reimbursing Loveland for its share of the costs. The second IGA (presented for
Council’s consideration here) will address construction, ownership, operation, maintenance, and management

Item # 18 Page 2
of the facility. Operations agreements will be resolved before the construction bid process. The third IGA (also
presented for Council consideration here) will establish an agreement between the Cities to use a certain
portion of Airport real property for the Training Campus to comply with a Federal Aviation Administration
requirement.
Staff at the two Cities have been working with the design firm SEH to design a facility that meets the scope,
budget, and building requirements for both organizations. Based on updated requirements from the Airport and
surveys of the land, adjustments have been made to the design to stay within the project budget and the
scoped needs of both agencies. The facility is set to include:
• 50-yard, 21 lane indoor pistol range
• 6,000 sq. ft. administration space, including - 2 classrooms and office space
• Driving skid pad
• 1.4-mile driving pursuit/speed track
• Room to add on and grow in the future, including - Street grid and tactical village, 100-yard range, shoot
house, EVOC maintenance facility and fuel station, ATV and off-road driving course.
Police Regional Training Campus IGA-Resolution 2019-028
Staff is proposing Fort Collins and Loveland enter into an IGA for the construction, ownership, operation,
maintenance and management of the Training Campus. The IGA establishes the facility will be designed and
constructed using the construction manager at risk delivery (CMAR) delivery method, in which Loveland will
contract with a construction manager to provide input during the design phase on estimating, scheduling,
constructability, and budget. The intent is the parties will develop a guaranteed maximum price for the
construction of the facility, and subject to the parties’ mutual agreement, the construction manager would
continue to be prime contractor on the project. Loveland will be primarily responsible for contracting and
procurement matters arising from the design and construction of the facility.
Under the IGA, the Cities would agree that the total cost of the Training Campus will not exceed $18.5 million,
and each City will be responsible for appropriating one half of that amount ($9.25 million). Upon execution of
the CMAR contract, Fort Collins will pay Loveland $1.5 million to ensure Loveland remains cash positive during
the term of the CMAR contract. Also, after execution of the CMAR contract, project staff from both Cities will
produce a payment schedule tied to project milestones, which will establish a timeline for when Loveland will
invoice Fort Collins for its 50% share of construction costs. The intent is that Loveland will have sufficient
funds on hand, contributed equally by both Cities, to meet all payment requirements for the project. Loveland
will hold payments from Fort Collins in a designated account, and any interest earned on said funds will be for
the benefit of the project.
The facility will be designed to meet the highest LEED certification practical for the administration and
classroom buildings, rather than the entire site, as approved by City Council in Resolution 2018-124. The
remainder of the facility will be designed to include as many green building practices as will provide, in the
Cities’ reasonable discretion, a good return on investment, but without any requirement for LEED certification
for the entire site.
Management of the facility will be vested in the Cities’ respective Chiefs of Police, with day-to-day operations
matters assigned to a Training Campus Manager, who will be a Loveland employee. The overall operation of
the facility will be guided by an Operation Plan, which will be created by the Chiefs or their designees and
appropriate Cities’ staff. The Operation Plan will be reviewed and revised as necessary on an annual basis, at
the same time the Cities consider future budget requirements, usage scheduling, updating rates for third-
parties to use the facility, and similar matters.
Each City will make an annual contribution of one half of the annual operating costs of the facility, less any
budgeted revenues from the facility. Loveland will act as the fiscal agent for the Training Campus, and it will
keep a Dedicated Fund for benefit of the Training Campus. The Dedicated Fund will be split into two separate
funds: one for capital improvement expenses, and the other for annual expenses like administration, operation
Agenda Item 18
Item # 18 Page 3
and maintenance. The Dedicated Fund will be owned equally by both Cities, but Loveland, as the fiscal agent,
will hold it in trust for Fort Collins.
The Cities’ staff intend for the Training Campus to be rented to other law enforcement agencies in the region
for training purposes. Revenue from such rentals will be kept in the Dedicated Fund, and that revenue will be
used to offset the following years’ annual operating costs.
Land Lease IGA-Resolution 2019-029
Staff is proposing that Fort Collins and Loveland also enter into an IGA regarding the use of a portion of the
Airport property for the Training Campus. In 2015, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released a
portion of the Airport property from the requirement that it be used for aeronautical purposes, and also
released it from the conditions, reservations, and restrictions identified in certain federal grant agreements
applicable to the Airport. The FAA released the property by executing an Instrument of Release from
Aeronautical Use, which includes the requirement that Fort Collins and Loveland lease the released property at
fair market value with the proceeds to be reinvested into the maintenance and operation of the Airport.
The Cities intend to use the released property for the Training Campus, which they will jointly own and operate.
Because the Cities both jointly own the Airport property, rather than lease the released property to themselves
for the Training Campus, staff from both the Cities have negotiated and are seeking approval to execute an
IGA that will govern the use the released property for the Training Campus in accordance with the
requirements of the FAA Instrument of Release. The IGA establishes a fair market value rental rate, of which
each City will contribute fifty percent (50%) to the Airport. The Cities worked with the Airport Director in
determining the appropriate fair market value rental rate. The revenue from the rental rate will be dedicated to
the maintenance and operation of the Airport, in accordance with the FAA Instrument of Release.
Representatives from the FAA have reviewed the IGA and stated it is compliant with FAA requirements.

Econ Health Offer 41.10
BFO Offer 41.10 Northern Colorado Regional Airport Operational Support
Funding this offer provides $177,500 in ongoing support for the operations of the Northern Colorado Regional Airport (FNL).
The Airport's mission is to provide a safe and efficient air transportation facility to the general public and aviation community by
providing airport facilities that meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety standards and to implement a plan that ensures
the efficient development of the airport to meet the needs of the Fort Collins and Loveland communities. Ongoing maintenance and
operation of the airport to the federal regulatory standards as required for being a commercially certified airport includes: finance
and administration, airport operations, security, airfield maintenance, regulatory compliance, safety, security, planning, construction
management, environmental, legislative affairs, marketing and communications, and air service development.
In 2017, the annual operating budget for the airport totaled $2,592,332 and was funded from airport-generated revenues
($672,730), contributions from the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland ($520,000), and State and Federal grants ($1,055,556).
Historically, the City of Fort Collins' required contribution (50% of the local match) has been $85,000 and funded from General Fund
ongoing revenue. Between 2013 and 2018, an additional $92,500 was funded from General Fund reserves. The increase was
necessitated by the change in air service and the resulting decrease in federal funding of operations and capital/maintenance
projects.

responsibility to negotiate and execute an agreement for the use of the real property
underlying the Training Campus consistent with the scope and purpose of this
Agreement, and said use agreement shall be approved by the Cities’ respective
governing bodies.
3. Construction of the Training Campus. Loveland shall engage a vendor through a
competitive sealed proposal process, pursuant to Loveland’s municipal code and
Loveland’s administrative procurement regulations, to construct the Training
3
Campus, utilizing the Construction Manager at Risk (“CMAR”) delivery method,
subject to the approval of Fort Collins. Fort Collins shall participate equally in the
vendor selection process. The Cities agree that the Training Campus shall, at a
minimum, contain a driving track, a firearms range, a skills pad, and adequate
classroom space as detailed in the design document, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
Loveland shall be the party issuing the agreement to the selected CMAR and
agreements to other contractors necessary to complete the project. The Training
Campus shall be constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Loveland
Municipal Code. The Cities agree that Loveland shall be the sole signatory for
purchasing, consulting, and other contracts necessary to complete the construction of
the Training Campus as contemplated by the Cities. Loveland must provide Fort
Collins an opportunity to review and comment on all such agreements, and Loveland
must receive written approval from Fort Collins prior to executing any such
agreements. Loveland shall provide Fort Collins the opportunity to review and
approve any change order in excess of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) and any invoice,
pay application or billing from any contractor prior to approving and issuing any such
change order or payment to a contractor. Fort Collins shall have seventy-two (72)
hours from receipt of a change order, invoice, pay application or billing to consent or
object, and Fort Collins’ failure to timely respond shall be considered consent.
a. Cost. Loveland and Fort Collins mutually agree that the total cost of the Training
Campus shall not exceed $18,518,782.00 dollars and that each City shall be
responsible for appropriating an equal share of the cost ($9,259,391.00). Fort
Collins agrees to submit proof of appropriation to Loveland mentioned in the
immediately preceding sentence as soon as practicable upon the appropriation
being authorized by the Fort Collins City Council. Proof may be in the form of an
executed ordinance or other legal instrument which demonstrates an authorization
to expend the Fort Collins equal share on the Training Campus.
b. Payments. Loveland shall invoice Fort Collins for Fort Collins’ fifty percent
(50%) share of CMAR and construction costs in accordance with a mutually
agreeable payment schedule (the “Payment Schedule”). The Cities shall produce
the aforementioned Payment Schedule within thirty (30) days of the execution of
the CMAR contract, which Payment Schedule is subject to change based on
changes to the project schedule and milestones as mutually agreed by the Parties.
Upon execution of the CMAR contract, Loveland will invoice Fort Collins and
Fort Collins shall remit $1,500,000.00 to Loveland within thirty (30) days of
receipt of the invoice to ensure Loveland remains in a positive cash position
throughout the term of the CMAR contract; provided however, in no event shall
Fort Collins be required to remit the $1,500,000.00 until after Fort Collins receives
the proceeds from its financing for this project. Thereafter, Loveland shall invoice
Fort Collins for fifty percent (50%) of each project milestone at least sixty (60)
days before the anticipated milestone date in accordance with the Payment
Schedule as may be revised from time to time by the Parties. Fort Collins shall
pay amounts owed to Loveland within thirty (30) days of receipt of said invoices.
The Cities agree that it is their mutual intent that Loveland have sufficient funds
4
on hand, contributed equally by the Cities, to meet all payment requirements for
the project. Loveland shall keep payments received from Fort Collins in a
designated account, and any interest earned on said fund shall remain in said
account for the benefit of the Training Campus.
c. Sustainability Requirements.
i. LEED Certification. The Cities agree that the administration and
classroom building portion of the Training Campus shall be designed,
constructed, and certified to the highest LEED certification practical. The
cost of attaining that standard and certification shall be shared equally by
both Cities, because each recognize the significant efficiencies that will
reduce future operational and maintenance costs for the Training Campus.
ii. Photovoltaic System. Both Cities agree to include in the design and
construction of the Training Campus a solar photovoltaic (“PV”) system
and infrastructure required for a PV system, which PV system to have an
estimated return on investment of ten (10) years or less and an expected
life of twenty-five (25) years or more. The PV system must be sufficiently
sized to achieve the renewable energy credits necessary to meet the highest
LEED certification practical.
iii. Energy Efficiencies. The remaining portions of the Training Campus not
identified in subsection (i) above shall be designed and constructed to
include as many green building principles as will provide a reasonably
good return on investment, including but not limited to, high efficiency
mechanical and electrical systems, but without any requirement for LEED
certification of the entire Training Campus site. Loveland will provide
the Training Campus with non-carbon tariff rate electricity to offset any
renewable energy deficiency remaining from the LEED standard achieved
to make the Training Campus a noncarbon electrical facility. Loveland
shall use a regularly accepted methodology to calculate the non-carbon
tariff rate electricity needed to close the aforementioned deficiency.
d. Americans with Disabilities. The Training Campus shall be designed and
construction to comply with all federal, state and local laws, including the
requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”).
e. Construction Grants. Any grants received by the Cities for the benefit of the
construction of the Training Campus, shall be utilized toward making facility
improvements by awarding bid alternates in the contract documents or any other
improvements agreed to by both Cities. Any grants received shall not be included
in the total not-to-exceed amount specified in Subsection (a) of this Section 3.
4. Joint Training Campus Operation and Maintenance. The operation and maintenance
of the Training Campus is a joint venture between the Cities, with full management
and policy-making authority vested equally in both Cities. “Policy Issues” shall
5
include, but shall not be limited to, participation in federal and state grant agreements,
construction of capital projects, and approval of the annual contributions to the
Training Campus Dedicated Funds (defined below in Section 10). Policy Issues shall
require the approval of each City’s City Councils.
5. Facility Management. Management of the Training Campus shall be vested in each
City’s Chief of Police or his or her designee. The Chiefs of Police shall be
responsible for approving an Operation Plan that will serve as the principal
document by which the Training Campus will be utilized and maintained by the
Cities. The Operation Plan shall reflect that each City shall have an opportunity
for equal access to the Training Campus to meet, at a minimum, each City’s basic
training needs. The annual schedule for use of the Training Campus by the Cities
and by third parties shall be determined by mutual agreement of the Chiefs of Police
or their designees and set forth in the Operation Plan; provided, however, the
Campus Manager shall have certain authority with respect to adjustment of the
annual schedule for the Cities and third parties as providing in Section 9(c) herein.
The Operation Plan will also address the use of the Training Campus by third
parties including proposed fees for such use, and the manner in which each City
may provide Administrative Services (defined below in Section 7) to benefit the
Training Campus. In addition, the Operation Plan may include rules and regulations

the Operations Fund. The Dedicated Fund shall be equally owned by both Cities
but will be held in trust by Loveland acting as the fiscal agent. The Dedicated Fund

12. Grants. Any and all grants received by a City in connection with the Training
Campus shall be shared equally by the Cities and deposited in the appropriate
Dedicated Fund for purposes that are mutually agreed between the Cities.
13. Training Campus Expenses: The net annual operating costs (“Net Annual
Operating Costs”) for the operation and maintenance of the Training Campus will
be funded by the Operations Fund and shared equally on a 50% basis for each City.
The Net Annual Operating Costs shall be calculated by subtracting the budgeted
annual fees, charges and other revenue from the budgeted annual operating costs.
On December 15
th
each year, Loveland shall invoice Fort Collins for fifty percent
(50%) of the budgeted Net Annual Operating Costs to be paid by Fort Collins to
Loveland within thirty (30) days of issuance. By September 1
st
of each year, the
10
Cities shall identify any shortfall in the then current annual Operations Fund and
seek supplemental budget and appropriation of an equal share of the additional
funds necessary to satisfy the Net Annual Operating Costs from their respective
City Councils.

Campus project pursuant to Section 4 of the Initial IGA, of which the Cities
acknowledge receipt thereof.
15. Construction Excess Funds: The Cities agree that any excess funds remaining after
the completion of the design and construction of the Training Campus will be
returned to the Cities equally.
16. Status as Governmental Entities. The parties are governmental entities; therefore,
all direct and indirect financial obligations of each party under this Agreement shall
be subject to annual appropriations pursuant to Article X, Section 20 of the
Colorado Constitution, the parties' respective charters and ordinances, and
applicable law. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder do not
constitute a multi-year fiscal obligation and are expressly contingent upon the
parties' respective governing bodies budgeting and appropriating the funds
necessary to fulfill the parties' respective obligations. If a party does not appropriate
funds sufficient to meet its obligations under this Agreement, such non-
appropriation will constitute a termination by such party, effective on January 1 of
the party’s fiscal year for which the funds are not appropriated regardless of any
notice period required under this Agreement. The non-appropriating party shall
give written notice of such non-appropriation of funds to the other party not later
than thirty (30) days after the non-appropriating governing body approves its annual
appropriations ordinance for any calendar year for which the ordinance does not
include funding to meets its financial obligations for the ensuing fiscal year. Such
termination shall be subject to the provisions of Section 18(b) below.
17. Dispute Resolution.
a. Informal Resolution. Should Loveland or Fort Collins not agree on any matter
arising out of or related to this Agreement or the ownership, use, expansion,
remodel, operation or other matter pertaining to the Training Campus, the Cities
shall use best efforts to meet and seek to resolve their disagreement informally
through discussions between the Police Chiefs. If the Police Chiefs cannot
11
resolve the dispute, the parties shall bring the dispute to the City Managers for
discussion and decision.
b. Mediator or Arbitrator Selection. In the event Loveland or Fort Collins mutually
agree to binding or nonbinding arbitration or mediation, Loveland and Fort
Collins shall each select an arbitrator or mediator. The arbitrators and mediators
selected by each City shall then select a single arbitrator or mediator to hear and
decide the dispute. Costs of any arbitration or mediator shall be shared
equally by the Cities.
c. Formal Resolution. Should Loveland or Fort Collins, despite best efforts, be
unable to reach agreement, either City may seek to have the dispute resolved by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
18. Termination. If, after the Cities are unable to reach a resolution pursuant to Section 17
of this Agreement through informal resolution, arbitration, or mediation, then if either
City fails to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, the non-
defaulting City may provide the defaulting City with written notice of the nature and
extent of the default. If the default remains uncorrected after thirty (30) days from the
date the notice is received, then the non-defaulting City may elect to bring an action
for specific performance, or to pursue any other remedies provided for in this
Agreement, or remedies available at law or equity.
a. If the parties fail to reach agreement upon any decision which must be reached by
mutual agreement under this Agreement, either party may terminate this
Agreement upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.
Each party will equally share and be obligated to pay any financial costs related
to this Agreement that have incurred up to the date of termination.
b. Upon termination, the non-defaulting City, or the City not seeking termination
under the immediately preceding Section 18(a) of the Agreement, (“Purchasing
City”) possesses a right of first refusal to acquire the other City’s interest in the
Training Campus. The Purchasing City shall pay an amount not to exceed
$9,259,391.00 dollars for the other City’s interest in the Training Campus. The
Purchasing City may select an appraiser who shall provide an appraisal to both
Cities using industry standard methodology for valuing a one-half interest in the
Training Campus, without considering anticipated revenues or the land upon
which the Training Campus is constructed. The Purchasing City may then acquire
the other City’s interest by payment to the other City of the amount determined by
Purchasing City’s appraiser (not to exceed $9,259,391.00 dollars). The Purchasing
City will also possess an option to pay the aforementioned determined appraised
value over a three (3) year period in equal installments.
i. Should the Purchasing City decline the right of first refusal, the other City
may only sell its interest in the Training Campus to a political subdivision
of the state of Colorado, a city, or a town, which also manages a law
12
enforcement agency in Larimer County or Weld County subject to the
approval of the City retaining an interest in the Training Campus, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The purchase price may then be
negotiated between the City seeking to sell its interest and the interested
third party political subdivision of the state of Colorado, city, or town,
which also manages a law enforcement agency in Larimer County or Weld
County, Colorado. Any such qualifying entity acquiring an interest in the
Training Campus shall be bound to this Agreement, and any, then existing
amendments, and such qualifying entity shall be substituted in place of the
City no longer retaining an interest in the Training Campus. Alternatively,
at the Purchasing City’s sole discretion, the qualifying entity and the
Purchasing City may negotiate new terms upon the qualifying entity
acquiring an interest in the Training Campus.
ii. Under no circumstances shall either City be permitted to sell, sublease,
transfer or otherwise assign any interest other than a one-half interest in
the Training Campus.
19. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, consent, or approval, or other communication
required or permitted hereunder, shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been

said airspace; (3) the right to use said airspace for landing on, taking off from, or operating
on the Airport. No use shall be permitted on the Released Property that otherwise
constitutes an airport hazard.
3. Fair Market Value Rental Rate.
A. As the fair market value referenced in the FAA Release, the Cities agree that the
rental rate shall be $0.186 per square foot per year, in the total amount of Three Hundred
Fifty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Seven Dollars and 26/100 ($354,677.26), fifty
percent (50%) of which ($177,338.63) shall be paid to the Airport by each City in equal
payments on a quarterly basis no later than March 31, June 30, September 30, and
December 31 annually, subject to the escalator provided in subsection B of this Section 3.
B. Commencing on the first day of the month following the first anniversary of the
Effective Date (defined below), and each year thereafter during the remainder of the term,
the annual rent shall be adjusted by multiplying the annual rent payable in the next
preceding year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the C.P.I., as hereinafter
defined, published for the previous month of December and the denominator of which shall
be the C.P.I. published for the month of December which preceded the month used as the
numerator. The term “C.P.I.’ as used herein shall mean the Consumer Price Index for all
Urban Consumers (CPI_U), All Items, for Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO as published by
the Bureaus of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, 1982-84 base =
4
100. In the event the base year is changed, the C.P.I. shall be converted to the equivalent
of the base year 1982-84 = 100. In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics ceases to
publish the C.P.I., an equivalent or comparable economic index shall be used.
C. In addition to any other remedies provided in this Agreement, in the event that a
City does not pay its contribution to the Airport within ten (10) days of the due date, that
City agrees to pay a late charge of $50.00 for each such late payment, and default interest
shall accrue on such payment from the date the payment was due, at a rate of twelve (12%)
per annum.
D. The rent, and any late charges and interest, shall be applied to the maintenance and
operation of the Airport. This payment shall be separate from, and in addition to, any other
funding obligations the Cities may have under the Airport IGA, as amended. The Cities
intend that this Agreement and the Cities’ payment of the rent to the Airport for its use
shall be in accordance with and satisfy the FAA Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use
of Airport Revenue and the Airport’s FAA Grant Assurances (less the aeronautical use
requirements), to the extent applicable.
4. Term of Agreement; Modification, Extension. This Agreement shall take effect at 12:01
a.m. on the date last signed below (the “Effective Date”) and expire at 11:59 p.m. on the
last date of the calendar month in which occurs the day immediately preceding the fiftieth
(50
th
) anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated as provided herein. This
Agreement may be modified only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. If the
Cities desire to continue to use the Released Property for the Training Campus at the
expiration of the initial term, the Cities may execute a new agreement of no more than fifty
(50) years.
5. Termination for Aviation Development Purposes. The Cities agree that, in the event the
Released Property shall be needed for aviation development purposes as contemplated in
the FAA Release, the Cities shall terminate this Agreement, and all aeronautical terms,
conditions, reservations and restrictions identified in FAA Grant Agreements numbered
FAAP 9-05-016-801 and 9-05-038-C501, ADAP 7-08-0023-01 and 5-08-0023-02 through
5-08-0023-05, and AIP 3-08-0023-01 through AIP 3-08-0023-34 shall be reinstated.
6. Status as Governmental Entities. The parties are governmental entities; therefore, all direct
and indirect financial obligations of each party under this Agreement shall be subject to

expressly contingent upon the parties’ respective governing bodies budgeting and
5
appropriating the funds necessary to fulfill the parties’ respective obligations. If a party

non-appropriation will constitute a termination by such party, effective on January 1 of the
party’s fiscal year for which the funds are not appropriated regardless of any notice period
required under this Agreement. The non-appropriating party shall give written notice of
such non-appropriation of funds to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after the
non-appropriating governing body approves its annual appropriation ordinance for any
calendar year for which the ordinance does not include funding to meets its financial
obligations for the ensuing fiscal year.
