Resolution 2010-029 Approving an Agreement Between the City and Hewlett Packard Company to Provide Business Investment Assistance for the Building 6 Annex Expansion, Adopted The following is staff s memorandum for this item. "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Hewlett-Packard Company is expanding operations at its Harmony Road facility. The expansion plan includes constructing an Engineering Focused Lab by retrofitting 40, 000 square feet ►W101 May 18, 2010 of the Building 6 Annex. The additional operations will create over 100 jobs, with an annual average wages of $90, 000. The expansion will include two phases totaling $64.4 million in construction and equipment investment. The City proposes offering a Business Investment Agreement, including two performance based investments: (1) a one-time use tax rebate on the lab equipment purchased at installation, and (2) a personal property tax rebate on the same lab equipment for ten years. Both investments relate to revenues the City would not otherwise collect if the expansion did not occur. The total investment package has a value of $1.6 million over ten years. During the same time period, the City will receive $2.0 million in revenues, net of the investments made. BA CKGRO UND/DISCUSSION In 2005, the Economic Action Plan was adopted to provide staff focus and direction regarding efforts to enhance the local economy. The Action Plan contains four key strategies: (])job creation through business retention, expansion, incubation, and attraction, (2) be proactive on economic issues, (3) build partnerships, and (4) diversify the economy. Furthermore, Council has given consistent and clear direction that all investment agreements be performance based. The Business Investment Agreement being offered to the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) is consistent with both the Action Plan strategies and City Council direction. Performance Based Agreement Council has consistently requested performance based business investment agreements. The proposed Business Investment Agreement relates to revenues generated by the project; without the project these revenues would not be received by the City. The level of investment corresponds to the level of investment made by HP with maximum amounts set for both use and personal property tax rebates. Therefore, the City expends revenue out of the General Fund that is directly generated by the project only. Business Retention and Expansion The Economic Action Plan identifies both business retention and expansion as the two primary goals for the City's job creation efforts over business attraction. Attraction efforts were recommended to be focused on identified Target Industry Clusters. The proposed expansion of HP supports this goal and recommendation by focusing investments on existing business expansion. Diversify the Economy • The Economic Action Plan called for the completion of a Target Industry Cluster study. The study identified six key target clusters. HP is a strong member of the mature Chip Design cluster. P: May 18, 2010 The Targetlndustry Cluster study recommended supporting the Chip Design cluster through retention efforts and to encourage expansion when possible. • The proposed expansion of HP� with the additional Engineering Focused Laboratory supports this goal and recommendation. PROJECT DESCRIPTION HP plans to expand operations at the Harmony Road facility located at 3404 East Harmony Road, shown in Attachment]. The expansion plan includes constructing an Engineering Focused Lab by retrofitting 40, 000 square feet of the Building 6 Annex, as shown in Attachment 2. The project will develop in two phases including: Phase 1 - $34.4 million in retrofit of the existing building Phase 2 - $30.0 million in equipment. As a result of the expansion, the HPproperty will require additional water and power above existing usage. This additional usage includes: • 8.0 million gallons in annual water use • 10.67 megawatts of electric capacity. The retrofit project will create several key aspects, including: • A 40, 000 square foot Engineering Focused Laboratory • A "sustainable data center "for technology testing • Energy Efficiency improvements • Office space for researchers. The proposed expansion will add over 100 jobs to the community, with approximately 50 percent relocated from out-of-state, earning an average wage of $90, 000. BUSINESS INVESTMENT AGREEMENT The City of Fort Collins uses a variety of customized investments to assist primary employers with expansion efforts. The City does not employ a "one size fits all' approach to developing investment packages. Instead, the City chooses to work collaboratively with each primary employer and build a package that is specific to the individual needs. This approach typically results in a better outcome for all parties. The Business Investment Agreement contains two aspects contingent upon City Council approval including: (1) a one-time use tax rebate on the lab equipment purchased at installation and (2) a personal property tax rebate on the same lab equipment for ten years. Both investments relate to revenues the City would not otherwise collect if the expansion did not occur. The complete Business Investment Agreement includes the following items: ►. May 18, 2010 Items That Require City Council Approval • A maximum of $600,000 in the form of a one-time eligible equipment use tax rebate on the initial lab equipment purchased at installation of the project; and A maximum of $1.0 million in personal property ta,C rebate on the same lab equipment over a 10 year period. Available without City Council Approval $400, 000 in Colorado FIRST Customized Job Training Funds; and Expedited review and commitment by City staff to HP's desired timeline. When compared against forecast City revenues for a ten-year period, the value of the expansion exceeds the cost of the proposed investment package, generating net revenue to the City of approximately $2.0 million. " Councilmember Poppaw withdrew from the discussion of Resolution 2010-029 Approving an Agreement Between the City and Hewlett Packard Company to Provide Business Investment Assistance for the Building 6 Annex Expansion due to a conflict of interest. City Manager Atteberry stated this is a good news item which will encourage primary job growth. Josh Birks, Economic Advisor, stated this investment package will encourage job retention through business expansion and will help diversify the economy. The agreement is performance -based in that the pledged revenues would not otherwise exist unless the project occurred. The use tax rebate and personal property tax rebate are directly associated with the amount and level of investment in the project. The project is a 40,000 square foot retrofit of an existing building to include a sustainable data center and energy efficiency improvements. The maximum investment is about $1.6 million. Revenues would not exist at all without the project moving forward. Birks discussed the social, economic, and environmental benefits of the project. Glen Colton, 625 Hinsdale Drive, asked about the rationale for financial assistance. Carrie Gillis, 2213 Timber Creek Drive, supported the business investment agreement and noted Hewlett Packard and its employees play a large role in the community. Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, asked about a lack of input from the Economic Advisory Commission. Bruce Lockhart, 2500 East Harmony, opposed the business investment agreement. Nancy York, 130 South Whitcomb, questioned the business investment agreement and whether Hewlett Packard would actually leave the community without the investment. 289 May 18, 2010 Gordon Thibedeau, Larimer County United Way President, thanked Hewlett Packard for its support of United Way and noted half of the "Make a Difference Day" volunteer hours were provided by Hewlett Packard employees. Bill Tucker, 2409 Marquette Street, stated Hewlett Packard should contribute on a smaller, more local level to the community. David May, Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce President, stated the types of jobs provided by Hewlett Packard are difficult to attract and he supported the business investment agreement. Mayor Hutchinson clarified $1.6 million of the $3.6 million that would be paid to the City over the next ten years will be rebated; therefore the City will still receive $2 million as part of this project. City Manager Atteberry confirmed that information and stated this investment by Hewlett Packard could have taken place in a number of locations. Information shared in negotiations for locations is often proprietary; therefore, it is not recommended that a citizen group be given the opportunity to review these types of proposals. Councilmember Manvel thanked the citizens who spoke regarding the item and asked about the scale of use tax and building permit fee revenue. Birks replied the use tax from construction is expected to be $620,000. Real property tax is approximately $88,000 and personal property tax is about $200,000. Half of will go to the City and half to Hewlett Packard as part of the business investment agreement. There is no rebate of use tax on subsequent investments, such as future equipment replacement. Councilmember Roy asked for a real life estimate of 8 million gallons of water. Brian Janonis, Utilities Executive Director, replied it is about 22,000 gallons per day and about 1/10 of one percent of the City's overall demand. Councilmember Manvel asked about the retrofit cost of the building, which he estimated to be about $10,000 per square foot. Birks replied the retrofit will include construction of the space for the data center. The mechanical and energy components are likely the largest piece of the investment. Councilmember Roy asked about the 6.2 million kilowatt hours figure presented by staff. Steve Catanach, Light and Power Director, replied 6.2 million kilowatt hours will be, which is a relatively small amount compared to the amount of energy used by Hewlett Packard each year. Hewlett Packard is anticipating an increase of 10.6 megawatts in its demand for electricity, due to the server farm. Platte River Power Authority would not need to add additional generation for that amount. Councilmember Ohlson asked for a timeframe regarding the 6.2 million kilowatt hours of savings. Birks replied the savings is an annual energy efficiency amount. Councilmember Ohlson asked if additional capacity would be needed. Catanach replied no additional capacity improvements are needed. M011 May Is, 2010 Councilmember Ohlson asked if the project has started through the City development review process, and if construction has begun. Birks replied some initial retrofit on the building has begun. A building permit has been pulled. Councilmember Ohlson asked how staff plans on tracking, monitoring, and reporting how many current residents obtain the anticipated jobs. Birks replied approximately half of the roughly 100 jobs expected to be created are planned to be hired locally, with the remaining jobs requiring specific skill sets that may not be available here. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to specifically audit or track job creation. Mayor Hutchinson noted it is quite expensive, in terms of relocation costs, for any company to hire individuals from outside the community. Councilmember Troxell asked how this expansion project fits into the City's innovation economy model. Birks replied it meets the City's goal of keeping and growing local companies. Councilmember Troxell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Manvel to adopt Resolution 2010-029. Councilmember Ohlson stated he would not support the motion as the project may happen regardless of the business investment agreement. He thanked Hewlett Packard for its contribution to the community. Councilmember Manvel stated he would support the motion as the agreement is a small incentive for a major benefit. Councilmember Troxell stated he would support the motion as the incentives are performance -based and offer a net benefit to the community. Councilmember Roy stated he would support the motion but noted it is difficult to be certain the incentives would actually secure the project for Fort Collins. Councilmember Ohlson stated Fort Collins provides incentives to locate here in terms of quality of life, reliability and quality of water and electricity, and quality of workforce. Mayor Hutchinson discussed the importance of these types of incentives for the economic health of Fort Collins. The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Roy and Troxell. Nays: Ohlson. THE MOTION CARRIED. ("Secretary's note: The Council took a brief recess at this point in the meeting.) 291 May 18, 2010 Items Relating to the Platte River Power Authority Contracts, Adopted on First Reading The following is staff s memorandum for this item. "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The staff of Platte River and the Municipalities initiated an effort to revise and extend the Organic Contract and the powersupply agreements between Platte River and the Municipalities in late 2007. The goals of this process included: (1) extending the term of the Organic Contract and the power supply agreements through 2050; (2) the elimination of the Facilities Agreements between Platte River and each of the Municipalities and the incorporation of the relevant provisions into the new power supply agreements; (3) the creation of a limited exception to the all -requirements nature of the power supply agreements so that the Municipalities could pursue local energy generation options; and (4) general editorial updating. . BA CKGR O UND/DIS C USSION Estes Park and Longmont approved the updated agreements during July and September of 2008. Fort Collins held a work session on the updated agreements during October of 2008, which led to the inclusion of additional language addressing Platte River's environmental commitment. The. updated agreements with language added by Fort Collins were adopted by the Fort Collins Council in March 2009. The Loveland Utility Commission expressed concerns about ambiguity in the language added by Fort Collins and recommended approval of the updated agreements in theform previously approved by Estes Park and Longmont. Loveland approved the updated agreements without the Fort Collins revisions during June of 2009. During the December 8, 2009 Work Session, Fort Collins Councilmembers indicated that the language that had initially been suggested for the organic and power supply contracts might be further simplified. Alternative language was suggested and the City Attorney's office was asked to work with PRPA staff to make the proposed revisions prior to the Platte River Board meeting on December 10, 2009, so the Mayor could get feedback from Longmont, Loveland and Estes Park. After the direction from the December Work Session indicating that simplified language would be acceptable, the Loveland Utilities Commission proposed further revisions. These revisions eliminated some ofthe environmental languageproposed by Fort Collins, butpreserved the central concept that the powerprovided by Platte River must be reliable; cost-effective and environmentally responsible in the Purposes section of the Organic Contract. The Loveland Utilities Commission also accepted the language that requires Platte River to meet to discuss additional generation if the one percent threshold is met as well as the net metering language added by Fort Collins. 292 May 18, 2010 The proposed revisions were reviewed and recommended for approval by the Electric Board on March 10, 2010. The Agreements were scheduled for review by the Fort Collins City Council on April 6, 2010, but were pulled from the agenda due to concerns about the changes suggested by the Loveland Utilities Commission. On April 20, 2010, representatives of Fort Collins and Loveland met to discuss compromise language. The language contained in the agreements beingpresented was the result ofthis meeting. All of the language added by Fort Collins after the December 2009 study session is contained in the present drafts. The only language change resulting from the April 20 meeting involved removal of the phrase "demand side resources " and the substitution of more descriptive language. " Brian Janonis, Utilities Executive Director, stated Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) is the wholesale power provider to Fort Collins and the power supply agreement is between Fort Collins and PRPA and the Organic Contract is between the four cities'involved: Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland, and Estes Park. Brian Moeck, Platte River Power Authority General Manager, discussed changes made to the contracts since late 2007. PRPA is not a party to the Organic Contract as it is between the four municipalities; the power supply agreement is between Fort Collins and PRPA. Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, discussed the importance of intergovernmental relationships with other municipalities and expressed concern that Fort Collins may have been at fault for the contract process taking as long as it did. Bruce Lockhart, 2500 East Harmony Road, expressed concern that renewable resources may be unreliable and disagreed with the contract length. Councilmember Roy asked if allowing Directors to participate in any meeting through electronic teleconferencing would interfere with the spirit of the laws. City Attorney Roy replied Fort Collins operates under open meeting laws in City Code and the PRPA Board operates under the state statute. Joe Wilson, Platte River Power Authority General Counsel, replied there is a state statute allowing entities such as PRPA to conduct meetings at which attendees may participate via conference call. Specifically it deals with the issuance of revenue bonds and generally addresses a situation in which there may be time sensitivity. There are no regulations which would prohibit teleconferencing in other instances. Councilmember Roy asked what the timeframe might be in the case of bond issues. Mr. Wilson replied there have been two instances of calling special meetings to authorize bond issuances with approximately a 48-hour notice. Councilmember Ohlson asked ifthe teleconferencing provision could be narrowed in scope between First and Second Reading to prevent abuse in the future. Mr. Moeck replied all meetings still require public notification and the building is still open for the public to attend. 293 May 18, 2010 Councilmember Poppaw asked if meeting minutes note when a member has participated via teleconference. Mr. Moeck replied in the affirmative. Councilmember Troxell asked why Sections d, f, and g were added to the Power Supply Agreement. Mr. Wilson replied the language, primarily dealing with planning, was originally part of the Transmission Facilities Agreement, which will no longer be in effect. The Transmission Facilities Agreements date back to the 1970s. When Platte River Power Authority was founded, it did not have any assets, so it relied on some of the municipal transmission assets. PRPA has since developed many of its own transmission facilities making many of the facilities aspects of the agreements irrelevant. The planning function sections referenced have now been included in the Power Supply Agreement. Councilmember Troxell asked if the agreement allows for transmission to be provided to the City of Fort Collins by an entity other than PRPA. Mr. Moeck replied PRPA does not own the entire transmission grid serving the municipalities. PRPA is not required to be the sole constructor of the transmission line. PRPA will provide the City with transmission and generation services. Councilmember Troxell asked if the agreement allows for Fort Collins Utilities to provide for ancillary services back to PRPA. Mr. Moeck replied ancillary services are currently purchased by PRPA and could be purchased from Fort Collins, or other municipalities. Councilmember Troxell asked about rate scheduling. Mr. Moeck replied PRPA has one wholesale tariff now, but several other tariffs have developed over the years. The agreement does not preclude additional tariffs to be developed in cooperation with the City. Councilmember Troxell asked what would be required to change the agreement, if necessary, in the future. Mr. Wilson replied the agreements have historically been modified every ten years but there is nothing preventing Council from requesting a modification at any time. An amended Power Supply Agreement would require approval by both City Council and the PRPA Board of Directors. Councilmember Roy made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt Ordinance No. 061, 2010, on First Reading. Councilmember Manvel asked if Fort Collins was the first of the four municipalities involved to approve the agreement. Mr. Moeck replied in the affirmative. Councilmember Ohlson stated he would support the motion and asked if PRPA would be reporting to Council on a regular basis regarding progress with the Climate Action Plan. Councilmember Roy stated he would support the motion and noted the language inclusions regarding environmental and sustainability policies. The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. 294 May 18, 2010 Councilmember Roy made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to -adopt Ordinance No. 062, 2010, on First Reading. Councilmember Troxell suggested a scheduled review time for the contract. Mr. Moeck noted the City's Electric Board will be reviewing the contract on an annual basis and will be able to make recommendations to Council. The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Items Relating to the Smart Grid Investment Project, Adopted on Second Reading The following is staff s memorandum for this item. "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2010, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue and Electric Revenue Bond Proceeds for the Smart Grid Investment Grant Project in the Light and Power Fund and for Bond Issuance Costs. B. Resolution 2010-030 Authorizing a Grant Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy and Intergovernmental Project Agreements with Cities of Longmont, Loveland, and Fountain to Receive Grant Funds for Installation and Deployment ofSmart Grid Technology Through the Smart Grid Investment Grant program. Fort Collins Utilities (FCU) has been selected by the Department of Energy (DOE) for a Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) award. The proposal and award included participation from the Cities of Loveland, Longmont and Fountain for a total award of $36, 202,527. The collaboration with the other cities was done to improve the chances of being selected by DOE as FCU was advised DOE wanted collaborative projects that included larger geographic areas and integrated funding. Ordinance No. 043, 2010, adopted on First Reading on April 20, 2010 by a vote of 6-1 (Nays: Kottwitz) appropriates $18,101,264 in unanticipated grant revenues and $16, 788, 863 in proceeds from the sale of Electric Revenue Bonds proposed to be issued in Ordinance No. 001 of the Board of the Electric Utility Enterprise, for the purpose offunding the Smart Grid project. Any funds not utilized by the project, will be applied to debt service on the bonds. This ordinance also appropriates $211,137for bond issuance costs. These appropriations are all in the Light and Power Fund. Resolution 2010-030 authorizes the City Manager to execute the agreement with the Department of Energy and enter into intergovernmental agreements with the Cities of Longmont, Loveland and Fountain. The DOE grant provides Fort Collins Utilities with an opportunity to install an AMI system, accelerate the implementation of its long range IT needs and to begin the modernization of its electrical distribution system. 295 May 18, 2010 BA CKGR O UND/DISC USSION The project applicant and grant administrator is the City of Fort Collins. The City of Fort Collins project focus is in four primary areas. • Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and Meter Data Management System • Grid Automation • Cyber Security • Enhanced Demand Response Programs and Customer Engagement. The City of Fountain is pursuing a citywide Advanced Metering Infrastructure system; the City of Longmont is installing upgraded relaying in some of its substations; and the City of Loveland is piloting Advanced Metering. The intergovernmental agreements establish a cooperative agreement between the Cities that ensures that the other Cities agree to comply with the requirement detailed with the grant agreement between the City of Fort Collins and the Department of Energy. " Steve Catanach, Light and Power Director, discussed the changes made to the Ordinance since First Reading and noted ratepayers will see benefits from the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System, including improved reliability. Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, stated this technology does not make it any easier to save energy, but rather makes it more expensive. Councilmember Ohlson asked about benefits of the project for ratepayers. Catanach replied the system will provide for more efficient utility operation, including labor cost reductions, and an increased ability to detect outages. Councilmember Ohlson asked how much of the project is being funded by a federal grant. Catanach replied the grant is paying $15.7 million, or half of the cost of the project. Councilmember Troxell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt Ordinance No. 043, 2010, on Second Reading. Councilmember Roy stated he would support the motion. Councilmember Manvel thanked staff and noted real-time feedback regarding electrical use should have. an impact on usage reduction. Councilmember Troxell stated he would support the motion. Catanach noted any information collected via the meters will go only to the customer. r Mayor Hutchinson noted security issues will be closely regulated. 296 May 18, 2010 The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Roy made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt Resolution 2010-030. Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Ordinance No. 057, 2010, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the General Fund for the Restoration of the Coca-Cola and Angell's Delicatessen Sip-n Located on Mountain Avenue, Adopted on First Reading The following is staff s memorandum for this item. �I �h�xrYlylrl %�CYI1�[��/Ri1 This Ordinance will appropriate unanticipated revenue in the amount of $44, 694 for the restoration of the Coca-Cola and Angell 's Delicatessen sign on the J L. Hohnstein Block, 220 East Mountain Avenue. The City offort Collins was awarded a $22, 200 State Historical Fund (SHF) grant in 2009 by the Colorado Historical Society to restore the deteriorating historic 1958 sign. Matching funds in the amount of $22, 494 will be provided by the Downtown DevelopmentAuthority, the City of Fort Collins, the building's owner, Progressive Old Town Square, LLC, and the Fort Collins Historical Society. The City of Fort Collins will be responsible for managing the project and receiving and administering the grant and cash match funds. BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION In September 2009, Carol Tunner, a former City Preservation Planner, was asked to be a consultant on the project and secured the remaining cash match funds. The sole -source contractors are Evergreene Painting Studios, Inc. of New York/Chicago and Empire Carpentry of Fort Collins. These experienced contractors come highly recommended by the State Historical Fund. The detailed scope of work includes documentation, surface preparation and consolidation, paint analysis, mortar analysis, mortar repointing, repainting the sign, a railingprotection, outreach and education activities, interpretive signage, and a maintenance plan. State Historical Fund grants are available to private entities if a public entity serves as the applicant for their projects. This project will have a significant impact on the historical character of the surrounding Historic Old Town Fort Collins neighborhood. Therefore, the City agreed to be the applicant for the grant, and the building owner was the co -applicant. " Bruce Lockhart, 2500 East Harmony Road, expressed concern that the sign may violate the Sign Code and promote a still existing company. 297 May 18, 2010 Councilmember Ohlson expressed concern that making the sign look brand new would not accurately preserve history. Karen McWilliams, Historic Preservation Planner, replied the amount of degradation of the sign, even in the last five years, is dramatic. If left untreated, it will disappear. The decision to either repaint the sign to make it look new or repaint the sign to make it look older has not been made. The decision will be made by the property owners, Downtown Development Authority, City officials, and Coca-Cola, as it has the original color palette. Councilmember Ohlson asked that Council consider postponing the item to work through some of the concerns. Mayor Hutchinson expressed concern regarding repainting the sign to make it appear new. Councilmember Troxell asked about the historical significance of the sign. McWilliams replied the sign is on the national, state, and local landmark registries. Part of reconstructing the sign will involve reconstructing the building wall. Councilmember Troxell asked if Coca-Cola has made any financial contribution for the project. McWilliams replied the City has applied for grants from Coca-Cola but has not yet received confirmation regarding financial commitments. Mayor Hutchinson asked that options be prepared for Second Reading. Councilmember Manvel supported the idea of clear coating over the existing painting. Councilmember Roy asked about the possibility this sign violates the Sign Code. Steve Dush, Current Planning Director, replied the Sign Code provides exemptions for signs with landmark designations. Councilmember Roy made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Manvel, to adopt Ordinance No. 057, 2010, on First Reading. McWilliams stated the Landmark Preservation Commission, State Historic Fund, and National Park Service should provide input. City Manager Atteberry suggested postponing Second Reading until June 15, 2010. The suggestion was incorporated as an amendment to the original motion by-Councilmembers Roy and Manvel. Councilmember Roy stated the sign should be preserved. Councilmember Ohlson stated he would support the motion but would be unlikely to support anything other than protecting the sign as is. City Manager Atteberry noted staff does not recommend restoring the sign to appear new. May 18, 2010 Councilmember Poppaw stated she would support preserving the sign as is. The vote on the motion was as follows: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Ordinance No. 059, 2010, Amending Chapter 23 of the City Code Pertaining to Excavations, Obstructions and Encroachments, Adopted on First Reading The following is staff s memorandum for this item. "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Ordinance willaccomplish three things: 1. Section 23-20 of the Code will be amended to require anyone with an excavation permit to restore an excavated area to its original condition when the excavation is complete. 2. Sections 23-61 through 23-67 of the Code pertaining to the obstruction permit will be amended to allow the permit to be issued for non -construction -related purposes. 3. A housekeeping change to Section 23-81 of the Code clarifies the circumstances for issuance of the special event permit, the obstruction permit, and the encroachment permit. BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION 1. Excavations - Section 23-20 This amendment to the Code was requested by the Downtown Development Authority (DDA). The DDA is implementing an alley improvement project in the Downtown area that will add significant improvement to the Montezuma Fuller Alley and the Old Firehouse Alley. Other alleys have been improved in the past and other alleys may be improved in the future. These improvements make the alleys more attractive, safe, inviting, pedestrian friendly, and usable. The improvements involve enhanced infrastructure, and includes improvements such as pavers, flagstone, lighting, art -work, flower beds or planters, canopies, and similar elements. This amendment to the Code is needed to ensure these improvements are replaced or restored with the same kind, quality, color, serviceability and material composition in the event the improvements are damaged or disturbed in the future by a contractor or developer, unless the City expressly agrees otherwise in writing. 2. Obstruction permits - Section 23-61 through Section 23-67 In the current City Code, the obstruction permit allows the permit holder to use an on -street parking space (or spaces) in the public right-of-way for construction -related activity, such as staging KUM May 18, 2010 equipment, materials, tools, dumpsters, or other items needed to construct, remodel or otherwise improve a building. Currently, the obstruction permit may not be used for non -construction -related activities, but there is an occasional need to do so (examples are given below) This ordinance amends the Code to define the conditions and process under which staff may issue a permit for the use of on -street parking spaces for non -construction -related activities, and clarifies the conditions and process of issuing a permit for use of on -street parking spaces for construction -related purposes. Many of these activities have a public benefit and help to create the unique character of the downtown area. Examples of when a non -construction -related permit might be needed are listed here (note -- some of these are actual requests that have not been accommodated due to current limitations in the Code): • The Health Services District requests up to four spaces to place a lengthy medical services vehicle at the curb to offer flu shoots, medical exams, or other medical services. • The Downtown Business Association needs to use a space in excess of the allowed time limits to park a support vehicle for Santa Claus during the holiday season. • A downtown restaurant wants to use four spaces to offer temporary valet parking services to visiting national journalists who are writing articles about Fort Collins. • A downtown business would like three spaces in front of its store for a two or three-day promotional event. • Beet Street would like to use a few spaces for a "special event launch. " • The Greek Festival needs four spaces for a refrigerated truck. • A charter school wants to use some spaces in connection with a fund-raiser. • A bicycle race committee wants to stage a kiosk and judging platform in some on -street parking spaces next to Old Town Square. • A wedding party wants to parka limo in front of a reception hall. In many respects, the justification for allowing permit applicants to use on -street parking spaces for activities like those listed above is the same as the justification for allowing restaurants to use portions of the sidewalk for extra seating during the summer season. The genesis for both uses is a private business occupyingpublicspacefora businesspurpose thatadds character, ambiance and "atmosphere " to the downtown area in a way that contributes to the qualities that make downtown unique and attractive. The public benefit of making this Code change is the contribution it makes toward keeping downtown as the crown jewel of Fort Collins, the "heart and soul " of the City that can be enjoyed by every citizen and their guests and visitors. In order to ensure that this proposed new use of an obstruction permit is reasonable and in the public interest, several new regulatory elements are beingproposedfor the non -construction -related permit as part of this ordinance. NOTE: The existing regulatory elements that apply to the construction -related permit will remain in place. The bullets below are changes that apply to the non -construction -related permit. Handicap spaces cannot be obstructed. A permit cannot be issued for more than four days. 300 May 18, 2010 • An applicant may only receive two permits per year, and they may not be for consecutive time periods (in other words, they cannot be issued "back-to-back.) • The obstruction cannot be "overnight. " • The parking space that is to be obstructed must be adjacent to (i.e., in front ofi the property of the applicant, or the adjacent property owner's consent must be obtained. • The City will retain the final authority to increase or decrease the number ofspaces that can be used, and ensure that the use is in the public interest, and may do so even in situations where an adjacent property owner may not grant consent. • Proof of insurance will be required to limit the City's liability. • Fees for the permit will be determined by the City Manager, and will include an application fee, and a daily use fee. The fees will recover the City's costs to administer the permit and provide an incentive to return the parking spaces to service. Staffrecommends the following fee structure: ' 0 Application fee $25 (includes one day of use for first space) o Use fee for additional days for first space $25/day 0 Use fee for 2nd or more spaces $10/day 0 NOTE: The fees above also apply to a construction -related permit for the first four days. Beginning on day five, the use fee for construction -related spaces is $2/space/day for the remaining term of the permit.) o Fees may be waived or reduced for governmental entities or if the City Manager or his designee determines that it is in the public interest to do so. • Permits may be denied or revoked if the terms of the permit are not met. • Permit holders must clean up after themselves and return the parking space to its original condition when the use of the permit is completed. 3. Encroachment permits - Section 23-81 These amendments to the Code are minor housekeeping amendments. In the past, there has been confusion about the use of three different permits -- the special event permit, the obstruction permit, and the encroachment permit. This Code change makes the following distinctions: The special event permit will be used for large events that involves street closures, like New West Fest or a parade. The obstruction permit will be used when the applicant wants to use parking spaces in the public right-of-way. The encroachment permit will be used when the applicant wants to use public propertyfor any purpose not covered by the special event permit or the obstruction permit. For example, if a restaurant wants to use a portion of the sidewalk in front of its business for expanded seating, an encroachment permit would be required. " Councilmember Roy asked if downtown parking spaces were valued at $300,000 per space, in terms of revenue generation. City Manager Atteberry confirmed the figure. Councilmember Roy expressed concern that the proposed fee structure for renting spaces for special events is not accurate. 301 May 18, 2010 City Attorney Roy stated the value issue can be addressed between First and Second Reading but the primary reason for the item is to clarify confusion regarding permit types. Councilmember Ohlson noted the issues regarding parking spaces for construction seem valid; however, allotting parking spaces for other activities may need further consideration. Councilmember Troxell stated Council and staff need to have a comprehensive understanding of the parking policy and possible variances. Councilmember Manvel made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Ohlson, to adopt Ordinance No. 059, 2010, on First Reading. City Attorney Roy asked for clarification regarding specific issues which need to be addressed prior to Second Reading, including the rate structure and more detail regarding potential uses for parking spaces other than construction. Councilmember Manvel asked for clarification regarding the issue of recovering costs for the City. Councilmember Troxell stated he would not support the motion as there is a lack of a comprehensive parking policy. City Manager Atteberry stated the parking policy would be part of a work session agenda in late summer. He noted the eco-friendly vehicle parking space sign has been removed from downtown. Mayor Hutchinson asked for inclusion of overall parking policy discussions in Plan Fort Collins. The vote on the motion was as follows: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson and Poppaw. Nays: Roy and Troxell. THE MOTION CARRIED. Motion to Ad,Lourn Councilmember Ohlson made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Roy, to adjourn until the conclusion of the Urban Renewal Authority meeting and then reconvene for the purpose of considering a motion to go into Executive Session. Councilmember Roy asked for clarification regarding returning to Electric Utility Enterprise and Urban Renewal Authority business following Executive Sessions. City Attorney Roy replied Council's Rules of Procedure, adopted by Resolution, do not apply to meetings of Boards of the other Authorities and Entities. Those Boards could adopt similar Rules of Procedure, but have not. Adequate notice of the meetings has occurred and meetings are appropriately open to the public. The vote on the motion was as follows: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. 302 May 18, 2010 THE MOTION CARRIED. ("Council adjourned until the end of the Urban Renewal Authority Meeting and reconvened at 11:25 p.m.) Councilmember Manvel made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Roy, to extend the meeting past 10:30 p.m. Yeas: Hutchinson, Manvel, Ohlson, Poppaw, Roy and Troxell. Nays: none. THE MOTION CARRIED. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 11:30 p.m. Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk 303
