Consent Calendar Review
This Review provides an opportunity for Council and citizens to pull items from the
Consent Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar be “pulled” off the
Consent Calendar and considered separately.
o Council-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered before Discussion
Items.
o Citizen-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered after Discussion
Items.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
Individuals may comment regarding items scheduled on the Consent Calendar and items not
specifically scheduled on the agenda. Comments regarding land use projects for which a development
application has been filed should be submitted in the development review process** and not to the
Council.
Those who wish to speak are asked to sign in at the table in the lobby (for recordkeeping
purposes).
All speakers will be asked by the presiding officer to identify themselves by raising their hand,
and then will be asked to move to one of the two lines of speakers (or to a seat nearby, for
those who are not able to stand while waiting).
The presiding officer will determine and announce the length of time allowed for each speaker.
Each speaker will be asked to state his or her name and general address for the record, and to
keep comments brief. Any written comments or materials intended for the Council should be
provided to the City Clerk.
A timer will beep once and the timer light will turn yellow to indicate that 30 seconds of
speaking time remain, and will beep again and turn red when a speaker’s time to speak has
ended.
[**For questions about the development review process or the status of any particular development,
citizens should consult the Development Review Center page on the City’s website at
fcgov.com/developmentreview, or contact the Development Review Center at 221-6750.]

1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the September 19, 2017 Regular Council Meeting.
The purpose of this item is to consider and approve the minutes from the September 19, 2017
Regular Council meeting.
2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 130, 2017, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Unanticipated
Revenue in Various City Funds and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated Amounts Between
Funds or Projects.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 3, 2017, combines dedicated
and unanticipated revenues or reserves that need to be appropriated before the end of the year to
cover the related expenses that were not anticipated and, therefore, not included in the 2017 annual
budget appropriation. The unanticipated revenue is primarily from fees, charges, rents, contributions
and grants that have been paid to City departments to offset specific expenses.
3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 131, 2017, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General
Fund to Reimburse Avago Wireless Technologies (USA) Manufacturing, LLC for Use Taxes and
Business Property Taxes as Provided in Business Investment Agreements.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 3, 2017, appropriates $397,716
of prior year reserves from the General Fund for a rebate to Avago Technologies Wireless (U.S.A.)
Mfg., LLC. (“Avago”) for use tax and business personal property tax rebates under two business
investment agreements. The agreements provide business investment assistance to Avago for
the expansion and retrofit of Avago’s Building 4 for a wafer fabrication facility in 2012 and for a
FBAR clean room facility in 2013. These two projects were required to create an additional 227
primary jobs in the City, and net 617 full time equivalents.
4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 132, 2017, Amending Chapter 7.5 of the Code of the City of Fort
Collins Regarding the Imposition of Capital Expansion Fees Adopted in Ordinance No. 049, 2017.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 3, 2017, amends Section 7.5-19
of the City Code related to the imposition, computation and collection of fees for development
projects that had an approved Project Development Plan prior to the adoption date of Ordinance No.
049, 2017.
5. First Reading of Ordinance No. 133, 2017, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the
General Fund for Electric Lawn and Garden Equipment Procurement.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate unanticipated grant revenue in the amount of $15,000 in
the General Fund for the purchase of electric lawn and garden equipment for the Parks Department.
The Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC) granted these funds to assist municipalities in purchasing
new low-emission commercial lawn and garden equipment. The grant directly supports efforts to lead
by example in reducing air quality impacts from municipal lawn and garden equipment fleet.
6. First Reading of Ordinance No. 134, 2017, Amending Chapter 3, Article III, Section 3-76 of the Code
of the City of Fort Collins to Set the Occupation Tax Rate for New Categories of Liquor Licenses.
The purpose of this item is to add the new license types and corresponding tax to the occupation tax
schedule. The Colorado General Assembly has added three new types of liquor licenses. The City
has an occupation tax for the liquor license categories established by the State.
7. First Reading of Ordinance No. 135, 2017, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain
Proceedings of Certain Lands as Part of the Fossil Creek Trail System.
The purpose of this item is to obtain authorization from City Council to use eminent domain to
acquire a tract of land owned by the Clarendon Hills Homeowners’ Association (CHHA) that is being
used as part of the Fossil Creek Trail. In the 1990s, the Fossil Creek Trail (FCT) was constructed
from Cathy Fromme Prairie at Taft Hill Road to the underpass at Shields Street. As the FCT comes
to the east side of Shields Street, it crosses a portion of Tract D, Clarendon Hills Fourth Filing. This
City of Fort Collins Page 4
tract is currently owned by CHHA. CHHA supports conveyance of a portion of Tract D to the City for
the FCT. Due to restrictions in the Declaration of Covenants for Clarendon Hills, CHHA asked the
City to use eminent domain procedures to accomplish this acquisition.

Water Treatment Facility Annexation No. 1.
