SUBJECT
Items Pertaining to Annual Adjustment Ordinance.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 117, 2020, Appropriating Additional Revenue and Authorizing Transfers
of Appropriations in Various City Funds.
B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 118, 2020, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Authorizing
Transfers of Appropriations in Various City Funds.
These Ordinances, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 6, 2020, combine dedicated and
additional revenues or prior-year 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 2020 annual budget
appropriation. The additional revenue is primarily from fees, charges, rents, contributions, donations and
grants that have been paid to City departments to offset specific expenses.
Between First and Second Reading of Ordinance No. 117, 2020, its recitals and Section 2.F.1. have been
revised to clarify that the $1.4 million transfer in the Transportation Capital Expansion Fee Fund from lapsing to
non-lapsing business units will be used to reimburse the developers of two different projects who installed the
following transportation improvements identified in the City’s Master Street Plan: (i) Mountain’s Edge
development constructing a sidewalk and new right turn and merging lane at Drake Road and Overland Trail
Road, and (ii) Crowne at Old Town North development constructing portions of Suniga Road and Jerome
Street and oversizing a sidewalk on Conifer Street.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.

Items Pertaining to Annual Adjustment Ordinance.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 117, 2020, Appropriating Additional Revenue and Authorizing Transfers of
Appropriations in Various City Funds.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 118, 2020, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Authorizing Transfers of
Appropriations in Various City Funds.
The purpose of these Annual Adjustment Ordinances is to combine dedicated and additional revenues or prior-
year 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 2020 annual budget appropriation. The additional revenue is
primarily from fees, charges, rents, contributions, donations and grants that have been paid to City departments
to offset specific expenses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
These Ordinances appropriate additional revenue and prior year reserves in various City funds and authorize
the transfer of appropriated amounts between funds and/or projects. The City Charter permits Council to
appropriate additional revenue received as a result of rate or fee increases or new revenue sources, such as
grants and reimbursements. The City Charter also permits Council to provide, by ordinance, for payment of any
expense from prior year reserves. Additionally, it authorizes Council to transfer any unexpended appropriated
amounts from one fund to another upon recommendation of the City Manager, provided that the purpose for
which the transferred funds are to be expended remains unchanged; the purpose for which they were initially
appropriated no longer exists; or the proposed transfer is from a fund or capital project account in which the
amount appropriated exceeds the amount needed to accomplish the purpose specified in the appropriation
ordinance.
The City Manager is recommending all of the proposed appropriations in these Ordinances and has determined
that they are available and previously unappropriated from their respective funds and will not cause the total
amount appropriated from such funds to exceed the current estimate of actual and anticipated revenues to be
received in each such fund during this fiscal year.

Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 2
The City Manager is also recommending the proposed transfers in these Ordinances and has determined that
the purposes for which these transferred funds are to be expended remains unchanged.
If these appropriations are not approved, the City will have to reduce expenditures even though revenue and
reimbursements have been received to cover those expenditures.
The table below is a summary of the expenses in each fund that make up the increase in requested
appropriations. Also included are transfers between funds and/or projects which do not increase net
appropriations, but per the City Charter, require Council approval to make the transfer. A table with the specific
use of prior year reserves appears at the end of this Agenda Item Summary.

a state funded grant for overtime for officers to reduce auto theft and bring those who steal automobiles
to justice. This grant pays for overtime on a reimbursable basis. This grant also includes the expenses
for the purchase and installation of an automatic license plate reader (ALPR).

from the Colorado Department of Transportation to pay for officers to work overtime to conduct

d. $19,061 - Police Reimbursement from City of Loveland for CRISP project software - As a part of the
Colorado Regional Information Sharing Program (CRISP) upgrade project some additional software for

restitution that is collected by FCPS is additionally passed along to the NCDTF.
h. $133,490 - Police Overtime Reimbursement - Police Services help schedule security and traffic control
for large events. Since these events are staffed by officers outside of their normal duties, officers are
paid overtime. The organization who requested officer presence is billed for the costs of the officers'
overtime. FCPS partners with Larimer County to staff events at The Ranch. Police receives
reimbursement from Larimer County for officers’ hours worked at Ranch events.

marketing and public relations campaign to encourage community members to support local, especially the

FOR: ‘For Fort Collins’ Campaign to Encourage Local Business Support $5,000

home radon exposure. This appropriation would recover kit-sales for the purpose of restocking radon test
kits.
FROM: Additional Revenue (Radon Test Kit Sales) $1,554
FOR: Radon Test Kit Purchases $1,554
8. Title: Urban Sustainability Directors Network - Transforming Climate Planning and Practice Grant
In 2019, the City, along with 10 other U.S. cities, was awarded a grant from the Urban Sustainability Directors
Network to develop a framework for how to transform climate planning and practice to be centered in equity.
While the total grant is $89,500, per the award letter, the majority of the grant was to be paid directly to Arup
and Movement Strategy Center for payment of their services for the project. This portion ($8,500) was
awarded to the City to fund part of the City's contractual position's salary to advance this work through the
remainder of 2020. The development of this framework is intended to scale to the over 220 cities and
counties across U.S. and Canada who are members of USDN and who are centering their climate efforts in
equity. This work is aligned with the City's Our Climate Future efforts, the combined update to the Energy
Policy, Road to Zero Waste, and Climate Action Plans.
FROM: Additional Revenue (Grant) $8,500
FOR: Portion of Contractual Position to Develop Framework $8,500
9. Title: Municipal Industrial Waste Opportunities Analysis
Funds for the Municipal Industrial Waste Opportunities Analysis were allocated in 2019 after being
recommended by the interdepartmental Waste Innovation Program, but the project would not be completed
until 2020. With the restriction on PO carryforwards, we elected to have the allocation return to the reserves
to be reallocated in 2020 once the project was completed. This Program has identified current reuse or
recycle waste programs that could be at risk, but has also identified opportunities for additional reuse and
recycling.
FROM: Prior Year Reserves (Waste Innovation) $29,155
FOR: Waste Innovation Program $29,155
Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 5
10. Title: Land Bank Operational Expenses
This request is intended to cover expenses related to the land bank property maintenance needs for 2020.
As expenses vary from year-to-year, funding is requested annually mid-year to cover these costs. Expenses
for 2020 include general maintenance of properties, raw water and sewer expenses, electricity, and other
as applicable.
FROM: Prior Year Reserves (Land Bank) $18,600
FOR: Land Bank Expenses $18,600
11. Title: Restorative Justice Services Additional Grant Funding
Restorative Justice (RJ) Services received $7,800 in additional grant funds to add to an already active grant
from CO Dept. of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Justice Juvenile Diversion grant # 2021-DV-21-30008-
08. The grant will pay for additional hours for the half-time supervisor of Mediation and Restorative Justice
to provide additional support for RJ programming. Providing RJ services virtually is requiring more than
100% more staff time than delivering in person services. This will add an additional 5 hours per week of the
supervisor's time from October 2020 through June 2021.
FROM: Additional Revenue (Grant) $7,800
FOR: Restorative Justice Services Program $7,800
12. Title: 2020 DTS and Finance Charges
This item is administrative in nature; it will not increase expenses to the City as expenses exist today. In past
years, fees to finance and IT for support services provided to the Development Review Center were not
properly classified as expenses to the Development Review Center, but rather as direct revenue from the
customer. This practice was out of compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
During 2020, journal entries have been posted monthly to ensure GAAP compliance for revenue/expense.
As this was corrected during 2020, no expense budget was in existence for these items. These entries and
the needed budget reflect no change in cash flows for the City. In 2021, the budget has been adjusted to
ensure appropriate accounting standards are being followed for revenue recognition.
FROM: Previously Acknowledged Additional Revenue (Development Review) $ 441,000
FOR: Development Review Center Expenses (IT Support) $ 350,000
FOR: Development Review Center Expenses (Finance Support) $ 91,000
13. Title: Community Economic Development Support - Platte River Power Authority
Since 1982, Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) has granted funds annually to support municipalities'
economic development efforts. This year, the City will receive $36,226. In accordance with PRPA
Resolution No. 32-12, payments will be directed to help support the Small Business Capital Access Loan
Program.
FROM: Additional Revenue (Grant) $36,226
FOR: Small Business Capital Access Loan Program $36,226
B. CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND
1. Title: Gardens on Spring Creek Capital Project donation through City Give
The Gardens on Spring Creek received an additional $15,800 from the Friends of the Gardens on Spring
Creek to help with remaining expenditures from the capital project to complete the Master Plan of the
Gardens.
FROM: Additional Revenue (City Give Donation) $15,800
Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 6
FOR: Master Plan of the Gardens on Spring Creek $15,800
2. Title: Engineering Payment In Lieu for Projects (see item #F4 for additional information)
Occasionally, when a development comes into the City, a major capital project is already planned along the
development's Right of Way (ROW) frontage. Typically, in the City's process, the developer is required to
put in amenities along the ROW (such as curb/gutter/sidewalk). When a major capital project is planned,
instead of having the developer build their frontage, the City collects a Payment in Lieu (PIL) and applies
that toward the Capital Project. This request appropriates PILs that have previously been collected for 2
projects: One along Laporte Ave and one at the major intersection of College and Trilby.
FROM: Transfer from Transportation Services Fund $23,650
FOR: College and Trilby Intersection $19,250
FOR: Laporte Ave $ 4,400
C. EQUIPMENT FUND
1. Title: State CNG vehicle and Electric Charging infrastructure Grants
This revenue is from the Alt Fuels Colorado ($330,376) and Charge Ahead ($17,211) grant programs
administered by the State Energy Office and the Regional Air Quality Council. Alt Fuels Colorado provides
80% reimbursement on the incremental cost of Natural Gas vehicles, while the Charge Ahead provides
infrastructure for vehicle charging stations.
FROM: Additional Revenue (Grants) $347,587
FOR: Natural Gas Vehicles & Charging Stations $347,587
D. KEEP FORT COLLINS GREAT FUND
1. Title: KFCG Reserve for Fire (PFA)
Requesting the Keep Fort Collins Great Reserve for Fire to pay for two FC911 Dispatch Consoles ($40,000)
and for equipment (hydrafusion pump, chain saw and accessories, and a Stearns ice suit) for the new Heavy
Rescue Apparatus ($12,335).
FROM: Prior Year Reserves (Fire and Emergency Services) $52,335
FOR: Dispatch Consoles and Equipment $52,335
E. TRANSIT SERVICES FUND
1. Title: Purchase of Cutaways Hardware to be reimbursed by CSU
Purchase of 3 Intelligent Vehicle Network (IVN) Retrofits from Clever Devices for Cutaway Buses. Hardware
will provide ridership data for CSU. CSU has agreed to reimburse the City for this purchase.
FROM: Additional Revenue (CSU Reimbursement) $53,670
FOR: IVN Retrofits for Ridership Data $53,670
F. TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FUND
1. Title: FC Moves City Give FONDO Foundation Philanthropic donation
This is a donation from an organization who normally puts on an event every year to help benefit the Safe
Routes to School (SRTS) program. Even though they were not able to put on their event this year, they
were still able to raise and provide money to the City to help further the reach of the program. These dollars
go toward supplies and programming costs for the Safe Routes to School work that is done annually.
Agenda Item 9
Item # 9 Page 7
FROM: Unanticipated Revenue (City Give Donation) $1,843
FOR: Safe Routes to School Program $1,843
2. Title: Snow & Ice Removal
The 2020 snow budget has been consumed due to large snow storms in February and March. The total
annual budget is $1.5 million and YTD spending is $1.9 million. Extremely cold temperatures require more
deicer material to keep the roads safe, which drives up the cost of snow operations significantly. Ice cutting
can be required due to the weather pattern where daytime thawing and nighttime freezing occur. Additional
funding of $1.3 million is requested to provide snow removal services from September through December
2020.
FROM: Prior Year Reserves $1,300,000
FOR: Snow and Ice Removal $1,300,000
3. Title: 243 North College Sidewalk Improvements
The previous tenant of 243 North College Avenue never completed their obligated sidewalk improvement
work. The City still held the cash escrow from the previous tenant. The building was sold and vacated before
work was complete. With the new tenant moving in, additional work was required and the City partnered
with the new tenant to complete the sidewalk improvements that were needed. The money the City used
was from the prior tenant's escrow (which has already been recognized as revenue). Work was completed
in the spring.
FROM: Additional Revenue (Forfeited Escrow) $3,656
FOR: Sidewalk Improvements $3,656
4. Title: Engineering Payment In Lieu for Projects (see item #B2 for additional information)
Occasionally, when a development comes into the City, a major capital project is already planned along the
development’s Right of Way (ROW) frontage. Typically, in the City’s process, the developer is required to
put in amenities along the ROW (such as curb/gutter/sidewalk). When a major capital project is planned,
instead of having the developer build their frontage, the City collects a Payment in Lieu (PIL) and applies
that toward the Capital Project. This request appropriates PILs that have previously been collected for two
projects: One along Laporte Ave and one at the major intersection of College and Trilby.
FROM: Prior Year Reserves $23,650
FOR: Transfer to Capital Projects Fund $23,650
G. TRANSPORTATION CAPITAL EXPANSION FEE FUND
1. Title: Transportation Capital Expansion Developer Reimbursements (transfer to Non-lapsing)
The Transportation Capital Expansion Fee (TCEF) Program reimburses development for eligible
improvements after they are constructed and accepted by the City. In the past, reimbursements were always
budgeted in lapsing funds, but this did not adequately portray the financial position of the overall TCEF Fund.
For major projects that are under construction, appropriating the estimated reimbursement amounts into
non-lapsing business units ensures that the City accounts for the financial liability that has already been
incurred.
FROM: Previously Appropriated Expenses (Lapsing Business Unit) $1,400,000
FOR: Transfer to Projects (Non-Lapsing Business Units in TCEF Fund) $1,400,000
