items on a lengthy agenda. 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:

2018 City Council Regular Meetings and the December 27, 2017 Council Special Meeting.

2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 005, 2018, Authorizing the Acquisition by Eminent Domain of
Certain Lands Necessary to Construct Public Improvements in Connection with the Suniga Road
Improvements Project.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 2, 2018, authorizes the use of
eminent domain, if deemed necessary, to acquire property interests needed to construct improvements
to Suniga Road Improvements Project. The project will construct a new arterial roadway between
College Avenue and Blondel Street. Improvements include construction of a complete arterial street
which includes four travel lanes, protected bike lanes, landscaped parkways, medians, sidewalks and
utility improvements.
In order for the City to construct these improvements, the City will need to acquire certain property
interests adjacent to the project area. The project will affect seven properties. Acquisitions will include
fee purchase right-of-way, permanent utility and drainage easements and temporary construction
easements. Staff has had contact with all affected property owners. Timely acquisition of the property
is necessary to meet the anticipated construction schedule. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith
with the affected owners and is optimistic that all property negotiations can be completed prior to the
start of the Project. Staff is requesting authorization of eminent domain for all property acquisitions for
the Project only if such action is deemed necessary.
3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 012, 2018, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Transit
Services Fund for Contractual Paratransit Services for the City of Loveland Transit (COLT) and Transit
Manager Services Pursuant to Two Intergovernmental Agreements with Loveland.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 16, 2018, appropriates funds to
cover the costs of entering into two intergovernmental agreements (IGA) with Loveland, which costs
will be reimbursed by Loveland. The first IGA provides paratransit service for COLT under the current
Dial-A-Ride contract (the Paratransit IGA), the costs of which will be reimbursed monthly to the City of
Fort Collins by the City of Loveland, COLT. The second IGA supplies a contractual employee to
COLT to act as the COLT Transit Operations Manager under the supervision of the City of Fort Collins,
Transfort (the Transit Management IGA). The costs will be reimbursed to the City of Fort Collins by
the City of Loveland monthly.
4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 013, 2018, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the
General Fund for the Environmental Services Radon Program and Authorizing the Transfer of
Matching Funds Previously Appropriated in the Environmental Services Department Operating
Budget.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 16, 2018, appropriates
unanticipated grant revenue in the General Fund for the Environmental Services Radon Program. This
appropriation includes $7,961 of grant revenues provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment (CDPHE) to support radon testing and mitigation programs. The grant directly
supports radon activities identified in the Environmental Services Department’s core budget offer, and
requires a local match of $5,307. Matching funds are appropriated and unexpended in the 2018
Environmental Services operating budget, and will be transferred to the Environmental Services radon
program.
5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 014, 2018, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Data and
Communications Fund for the Enterprise Document Management System and Electronic Record
Search Project.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 16, 2018, appropriates $833,840
from the Data and Communications reserve to fund the Enterprise Document Management System
and Electronic Record Search (EDMS) project. The funds will be used to replace the current enterprise
document management system known as SIRE that currently manages the City’s documents and
images. This project was approved through the Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process for use in
2017. However, the procurement process will not be completed until early February 2018, requiring
the IT Department to submit this request ahead of the reappropriation process in order to enter into a
contract with a vendor to avoid additional costs and delays.

6. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 016, 2018 Amending Article 5, Section 23-140 of the Code of the
City of Fort Collins to Add a Definition of "Facilities".
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 16, 2018, amend Sections 23-140
of the City Code to add a definition of "Facilities" which includes buildings, structures, vehicles, buses,
and public parking areas. This amendment will grant express authority to the City Manager to set
administrative policy related to conduct on Transfort buses and other transit facilities.
7. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 017, 2018, Amending the City of Fort Collins District-Precinct Map
to Reflect Changes in County Precinct Boundaries and Waiving the Redistricting Requirement of
Section 7-87(d) of the City Code.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 16, 2018, aligns City precinct
boundaries with County precinct boundaries as required by Section 7-66 of the City Code. None of
the divided precincts affect Council district boundaries.
8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 019, 2018, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Natural Areas
Fund for a 2017 Unanticipated Donation for Fish Ladder Design.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate a $50,000 donation from Noosa Yoghurt, LLC. into the
Natural Areas Department’s 2018 budget to fund a river health related project. In October 2017,
Noosa Yoghurt, LLC. donated $50,000 to the Natural Areas department with a specific request that it
be applied toward development of fish passage on the Watson Lake diversion structure. This structure
is owned by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) and located on the Cache la Poudre River at the
Watson Lake Fish Hatchery in Bellvue. Natural Areas staff is familiar with the design process, has
managed the design process for two similar projects and has agreed to manage this design process
and collaborate with CPW to facilitate this project.
9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 020, 2018, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund for
Security Screening for Fort Collins Municipal Court.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $201,578 of prior year reserves in the General Fund for the
cost of adding security screening for those attending hearings in Fort Collins Municipal Court. The
Court is located on the first floor of the City’s Administrative Building at 215 North Mason Street. Access
for those hearings would be limited to the north door of the building, the access point currently used
for the Community Room. Those proceeding past the Community Room and entering the Court’s
space would go through a magnetometer (metal detector) and have their belongings checked by
contract security personnel prior to gaining access to the Court’s space. City employees working in
the building and the public accessing other offices in the building, including the Court Clerks’ Office for
non-hearing related business, would still have unscreened access through the east and west
entrances. Employees would also continue to have fob access to the building through the southwest
entrance. The changes included in this request are necessary due to increasing safety and security
concerns for employees working in and citizens utilizing City services in that building.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 021, 2018, Adopting the 2018 Classified Employees Pay Plan.
The purpose of this item is to recommend the 2018 City Classified Employee Pay Plan. The Pay Plan
has been redesigned to align with the City’s new job architecture system. The seven occupational
groups have been replaced by job functions. Classified jobs are grouped according to job functions, a
business practice commonly used by both the public and private sectors. Pay ranges are developed
by career group (management, professional, administrative, operations and trades) and level for each
job function. The result of this work is a City Classified Employee Pay Plan which sets the minimum,
midpoint and maximum of pay ranges for the levels, within each career group and function. The 2018
City Classified Employee Pay Plan also includes the results of the market analysis conducted as
defined in the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of Fort Collins and the Northern
Colorado Lodge #3 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). Actual employee pay increases are
awarded through a separate administrative process in accordance with the budgeted amount approved
by Council.

the City of Fort Collins to Clarify the City Manager's Authority Concerning the Administrative Branch
of the City.
The purpose of this item is to amend various sections in Article V, Division 3 of Chapter 2 of the City

authority as well as duties and functions to the services of the City administrative organization.
