SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 088, 2020, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund
and Authorizing a Transfer of Existing Appropriations for a Contextual Report on the Work of Architect William
Robb.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to appropriate $15,588 in grant funding received from the State Historical Fund,
awarded by History Colorado. This grant requires a City match of $6,000 which was appropriated and
unexpended in the 2020 budget. The grant funds a historic context report of local architect William “Bill” Robb
and the projects he and his firm, now known as RB+B, designed in Fort Collins. Notable projects of Robb’s
include the 1957 Municipal Building (Operations Services building), Key Bank at Drake and College, several
churches, local residences and many schools for the Poudre R-1 School District.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
This project will result in the preparation of a historic context on the life and work of significant local architect
William B. “Bill” Robb. A native Coloradan, Robb came to Fort Collins as a graduate of the prestigious
Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s School of Architecture. He established his firm in 1953 and along with
his partners, created a large body of work in Fort Collins. Robb’s best-known work was in designing schools,
churches and commercial buildings, often using architectural styles popular during the Modern Movement in
the 1950s - 1970s.
This context will also identify historic resources that warrant future intensive-level surveys to determine their
relative importance to Fort Collins' history, and will form the basis for tours and other educational opportunities
around Robb's work. The identification, protection and enhancement of historic resources is a principle of City
Plan, as well as a strategy to promote neighborhood livability and social health in the City’s Strategic Plan.
CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The Ordinance appropriates $21,588 in the General Fund to prepare a historic contextual report on Fort Collins
architect William "Bill" Robb. These funds include $15,588 received as a State Historical Fund grant from
History Colorado, and $6,000 of funding from the Historic Preservation Division's 2020 Budget.
