The 1982 General Fund budget has a capital reserve of $1,347,900 for
the design and construction of capital projects. All capital projects
with a completed conceptual design were rated using the Capital

Second Reading of Ordinance No. 49, 1982, Appropriating Unanticipated
Revenue in the General Fund.
The City has a contractual arrangement with First Interstate Bank
whereby citizens may pay City utility bills at the bank.
This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on
April 20, appropriates the $2,100 in computer rental income from First
Interstate Bank to offset the expense of providing an additional
computer terminal and an Optical Character Reader for the bank's
use.
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 50, 1982, Appropriating Prior Year
Reserves and Unanticipated Revenue in the Pension Reserve Fund.
This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 20
and authorizes the transfer of $263,195 from the Pension Reserve Fund
to the General Fund. Future General Fund pension unfunded liability
expenses will be financed from General Fund revenue. Failure to
transfer these resources would require budgeted General Fund resources
to cover this expense in 1982 and maintain the Pension Reserve Fund
which is no longer necessary.
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 51, 1982, Rezoning Property Known As
air roo e.
This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 20
and is a request to rezone 35.9-ac, located south of Prospect Street
and approximately 1/2-mile west of Taft Hill Road. The property is
presently zoned T-Transitional (since 1978), a zoning district which
has no permitted land uses. Applicants are requesting the R-P,
Planned Residential, zoning designation for the property.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 52, 1982, Rezoning Property Known as
Oak Ridge.
This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 20
and is a staff -initiated rezoning request to eliminate certain condi-
tions placed on the R-P zoned area located on the southeast corner of
the intersection of Harmony Road and Lemay Avenue. The requested
change of zoning is to eliminate the conditions placed on the R-P
portion (155-ac) pursuant to Ordinance No. 112-80, restricting the use
of the property to a maximum of eight dwelling units per acre and
requiring that the commercial allotment not be allowed in this zone.

May 4, 1982
11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 53, 1982, Rezoning Property Known As
3820 South County Road
This ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on April 20
and would rezone a 2.62-ac parcel of land from its existing T-Transi-
tion zone to R-L-P, Low Density Planned Residential. The site is
located at 3820 South County Road 11 (Timberline Road).
12. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 55, 1982, Relating to
Retail Electric Rates or ervice.
The proposed Ordinance is presented pursuant to Council direction at
the April 13, 1982 work session.
The rate tariffs incorporated in this ordinance are designed to
increase revenues from each rate class by 9.5%. This increase is
required to partially off -set a 39.1% increase in purchased power
rates experienced January 1, 1982.
13. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 56, 1982, Adopting by '
e erence t o o e ra is Code,Edition.
At the April 13th Work Session, Council received detailed background
material recommending the adoption of the Model Traffic Code for
Colorado Municipalities, 1977 Edition.
The attached Ordinance adopts that Code by reference and makes the
amendments suggested to Council by the Police Department, the Traffic
Engineering staff, and the City Attorney's office. The amendments set
out in the Ordinance enact provisions not covered by the Model Traffic
Code.
14. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 57, 1982, Amending Section
o t e ode a ating to t o nnua eview o ees or treet
Oversizing.
Ordinance #112-1979 requires that the Street Oversizing Fee be eval-
uated and adjusted, if necessary, on a quarterly basis. The last
adjustment was adopted by the City Council on February 16, 1982. The
fees presently are:
Residential
$ 246.00
D.U.
Business & Commercial
$3,500.00
Gross Acre
Industrial
$ 500.00

May 4, 1982
Our recent check with local construction firms indicates a general
trend of no increased prices during the coming construction season
(the one firm indicating an increase of 8% will probably back down if
their competitor does not increase prices).
We therefore recommend that the Street Oversizing Fee Schedule adopted
in February be continued with no change. Staff believes that an
annual evaluation and adjustment of fees would be adequate in most
instances. If circumstances change, then review of the 'fee structure
could be made at more frequent intervals.
15. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 58, 1982, Decreasing the
Amount or Payment In -Lieu -of Water Rig is from $ 00 to $ 0 .
In January, the City's in -lieu -of water rights cash rate was reduced
from $1900 to $1700. The price of CBT water has continued to decline,
indicating a need to again adjust the cash rate. The prevailing price
for CBT water is approximately $1500.
As directed by Council, the Water Utility staff and the Water Board
'
has continued to monitor the situation. Both recommend at this time
that the in -lieu -of cash rate be adjusted downward to $1500 per
acre-foot, in order to bring it into line with current CBT prices.
16. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 59, 1982, Amending a
ection o e astewater ti ity Ordinance.
In January, Council adopted the Wastewater Utility Ordinance. During
the implementation of this Ordinance, staff noted the need for a
housekeeping amendment to one section of the Ordinance relating to the
determination of charges.
The new Ordinance sets July 1 as the reporting date for the recommen-
dation on user rates, to be in effect from January 1 to December 31 of
the following year. This is a minor housekeeping change to bring the
reporting and review dates into compliance with actual practice.
17. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 60, 1982, Appropriating
Unanticipated Revenue in the UMTA-Section 8 Grant Fun .
Resolution 81-128 authorized the City Manager to file an application
with the Department of Transportation for a technical studies grant to
address some major issues regarding Transfort operation.
Grant approval has been received from the Department of Transportation
' in the amount of $24,000 for this program. The City of Fort Collins'
matching share of $6,000 will be in -kind City employee work hours.

The Auntie Stone Quester group of Fort Collins received a $500 grant
from its state organization to finance preservation and rehabilitation
work on the Elizabeth Stone house in the courtyard of the Fort Collins
Museum. The funds have been donated to the Museum for carpentry and
application of a preservative to the cabin exterior.
This Ordinance appropriates $500 in the General Fund to carry out this
project.
19. Resolution adopting Minimum Standards and Requirements for Tenants at
the Fort Col ins -Love and Airport.
On March 9th, the Airport Ad Hoc Committee held a public meeting in '
the Loveland City Hall to hear public input on the Minimum Standards
and Requirements. This document is now being considered by the
Councils of both Fort Collins and Loveland. In addition to those
individuals or companies who lease land, buildings, facilities, and/or
hangar space, this document provides the requirements for all persons
who are engaged in a profitable business and utilizing the Airport,
and all temporary uses of the Airport, such as air shows and fly -ins.
20. Resolution Approving a Microwave Linkage Agreement with Larimer County
for the Deadman Mountain Radio Site in Connection with Joe Wright
Reservoir.
The attached Resolution approves an agreement with Larimer County for
use of the County's communications site on top of Deadman Mountain and
the microwave link with the courthouse. The County Commissioners have
approved the agreement. On April 20th, Council adopted a resolution
approving the lease of land from the Colorado State Land Board for
this site. The agreement with the County is the final intergovern-
mental agreement needed in connection with the radio system.
21. Resolution Approving Name of Fossil Creek Community Park.
The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met on March 23rd and endorsed
the name of "Fossil Creek Community Park" for the new park site south
of the city. The site covers 100 acres, including Portner Reservoir, '
and will be developed as a community park facility.

Councilmember Reeves asked the record to show she did not vote or partici-
pate in the discussion of this item.

Ordinance Relating to Retail Electric Rates for Service,
Adopted on First Readina
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"The proposed Ordinance is presented pursuant to Council direction at the
April 13, 1982 work session.
The rate tariffs incorporated in this ordinance are designed to increase
revenues from each rate class by 9.5%. This increase is required to
partially off -set a 39.1% increase in purchased power rates experienced
January 1, 1982.
Paragraph (6), "Controlled Water Heater Service", of Schedules R, RD, and
RT defines the terms under which a residential electric customer may
receive an annual rebate by voluntarily allowing the Utility to control
water heating service at times of electrical system emergencies and periods
of anticipated peak loads. This program is commonly called "HOT SHOT" and
was authorized by Council at the January 12, 1982 work session."
Councilmember Reeves noted that although this item had been discussed at a
work session, she felt it should have individual consideration rather than
appearing on the Consent calendar.
Light and Power General Manager, Bill Carnahan, summarized the materials
that had been presented at the work session and reviewed the assumptions
presented in September of 1981.
He noted the major factors in the proposed 9.5% increase to all rate
classes were:
-200-
May 4, 1982
1. Platte River Power Authority increase in cost of wholesale pur-
chased power.
2. Reduced capital expenditures.
3. Reduced reserve levels.
4. Operation and maintenance reductions.
He added this ordinance would change the tariffs to allow for a water
heater load control program with a rebate of $50 rather than $20 formerly
allowed for load interruption.
Councilmember Horak expressed concern about the next rate increase in
January of 1983. fie asked if anything could be done to minimize that
increase.
Carnahan replied that a close look would be taken to determine if any
increase from Platte River Power Authority would be passed along to the
consumers and that staff was aware that recent rate increases have been
substantial so would do everything possible to attempt to minimize future
increases.
Councilmember Wilmarth questioned Platte River Power Authority's need for
another staff attorney and asked about the newspaper article he had read
referring to the possibility of the town of Lyons joining Platte River
Power Authority. He asked if those two events would impact the projected
0% increases.
Carnahan replied that the town of Lyons had made a request to join Platte
River Power Authority but the Board had not discussed the matter at all.
Mayor Cassell noted that the rationale presented was that the new staff
attorney was needed due to the present work load of Brian Blakely.
Councilmember Wilmarth made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Reeves,
to adopt Ordinance No. 55, 1982 on First Reading. Yeas: Councilmembers
Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Reeves and Wilmarth. Nays:
None.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Adopting by Reference the Model Traffic
Code, 1977 Edition, Adopted on First Reading
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
-201-
May 4, 1982
"At the April 13th Work Session, Council received detailed background
material recommending the adoption of the Model Traffic Code for Colorado
Municipalities, 1977 Edition.
The attached Ordinance adopts that Code by reference and makes the amend-
ments suggested to Council by the Police Department, the Traffic Engineer-
ing staff, and the City Attorney's office. The amendments set out in the
Ordinance enact provisions not covered by the Model Traffic Code.
The Model Traffic Code, combined with the minor amendments as set out in
the adopting Ordinance, provides a comprehensive code for the regulation
of traffic in Fort Collins. In addition, adoption of this Code, which is
published by the Colorado State Department of Highways, will expedite the
approval by the State of the City's traffic ordinances to be enforced on
State highways in the City."
City Attorney Huisjen noted the Charter requires a hearing on Codes adopted
by reference and asked that public input be solicited.
Mayor Cassell asked if anyone was present in the audience who wanted to
discuss this Code. Seeing no one, Mayor Cassell declared the public
hearing closed.
Councilmember Knezovich asked staff to investigate the problem of joggers
and bicyclists wearing stereo headphones that reduce their ability to hear
horns, etc.
Councilmember Wilmarth made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Clarke,
to adopt Ordinance No. 56, 1982 on First Reading. Yeas: Councilmembers

None.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Decreasing the Amount for Payment
In -Lieu -of Water Rights from $1700 to $1500
Adopted on First Reading
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"In January, the City's in -lieu -of water rights cash rate was reduced from
$1900 to $1700. As shown on the attached graph, the price of CBT water has
continued to decline, indicating a need to again adjust the cash rate.
The prevailing price for CBT water is approximately $1500.
-202-
May 4, 1982
As directed by Council, the Water Utility staff and the Water Board has
continued to monitor the situation. They recommend at this time that
the in -lieu -of cash rate be adjusted downward to $1500 per acre-foot, in
order to bring it into line with current CBT prices.
Lowering the rate to be more consistent with current prices should have the
effect of encouraging developers to turn in more cash, which will in turn
allow the City to build and improve our facilities to utilize the water
that is turned in to the City. In 1981, only about 1% of the water rights
requirements were satisfied with cash, as compared with an average of about
20% during the previous five years.
The cash in -lieu -of water rights rate will be reviewed frequently to
determine the need for any adjustments."
Councilmember Clarke asked when the fee had been reduced to the $1,900
level.
City Manager Arnold replied the fee had been reduced from $2,200 to $1,900 '
in mid-1981.
Councilmember Clarke made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Reeves,
to adopt Ordinance No. 58, 1982 on First Reading. Yeas: Councilmembers
Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Reeves and Wilmarth. Nays:
None.

Ordinance Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue
in the UMTA-Section 8 Grant Fund,
Adopted on First Reading
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"Resolution 81-128 authorized the City Manager to file an application with
the Department of Transportation for a technical studies grant to address
some major issues regarding Transfort operation. Tasks to be performed
under the grant are:
1. Identify and develop specific transit funding sources to meet
future Transfort budget requirements.
2. Develop and evaluate an improved route structure which will maxi-
mizeItransit system productivity and effectiveness.
-203-
May 4, 1982
3. Develop a bus facility design and a master vehicle maintenance
program for the coordinated Transfort and CARE -A -VAN transit
system.
Grant approval has been received from the Department of Transportation in
the amount of $24,000 for this program. The City of Fort Collins' matching
share of $6,000 will be in -kind City employee work hours.
This Ordinance appropriates the federal grant monies totalling $24,000 in
the UMTA-Section 8 Fund."
Councilmember Wilmarth asked what the "in -kind City employee work hours"
would consist of and who will be performing them and secondly what role
Council will play prior to the report on the technical study.
City Manager Arnold replied a draft document would be presented at a work
session for Council's review and comments.
Director of Care -A -Van and Transfort, Marj Walsh, noted staff will be
' working with the two consulting firms chosen and those staff hours will be
assigned to that project to make up the local share with personal effort
rather than dollars.
Councilmember Wilmarth asked why outside consultants were needed when it
seemed City staff could perform these tasks and were more familiar with
local needs and problems.
Walsh replied that she felt this area was highly specialized and needed the
wider view and expertise provided by the consultants.
Councilmember Knezovich noted he was opposed to the spending of govern-
mental funds, either local or federal, to address a major issue and added
he felt that it was not the best use of funds.
Councilmember Clarke made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Elliott,
to adopt Ordinance No. 60, 1982 on First Reading. Yeas: Councilmembers
Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, and Reeves. Nays: Councilmembers Knezo-
vich and Wilmarth.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinances Relating to Campaign Contributions
and Disclosure Provisions
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
-204-
May 4, 1982 ,
A. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 43, 1982, Relating to
Campaign Contributions.
B. Nearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 62, 1982, Adopting Dis-
closure Provisions for the City of Fort Collins.
C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 63, 1982, Adopting Dis-
closure Provisions for the City of Fort Collins.
D. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 64, 1982, Adopting Dis-
closure Provisions for the City of Fort Collins.
Attached are four ordinances relative to the issue of campaign contribu-
tions. The first is an ordinance repealing and reenacting Chapter 9,
Article VI, Section 15 of the City Code. This ordinance, originally
presented at the meeting of April 6th, was drafted in response to a recent
decision of the United States Supreme Court rendering the City's existing
provision unconstitutional in part. On April 6th, the City Council tabled
consideration of this ordinance to May 4th in order to allow sufficient
time to investigate alternatives.
The remaining three ordinances have been drafted in response to City '
Council's consideration of this issue. Each of these three ordinances
deals with campaign disclosure provisions. The first of the three (B) is
an ordinance containing general provisions governing disclosure, whereas
the remaining two (C & D) deal with specific questions which arose during
Council's consideration of disclosure provisions at its work session of
April 27, 1982.
While the first two ordinances under consideration (A & B) are not contin-
gent upon one another for passage, the remaining two ordinances (C & D) can
serve most appropriately only as addenda to the general disclosure ordi-
nance. Therefore, the remaining two ordinances (C & D) pertaining to
disclosure, should only be considered for passage upon Council's approval
of the general ordinance (B)."
Councilmember Elliott noted he had problems with the concept of all four
ordinances since they attempt to limit how much an individual wishes to
contribute to a certain cause. He suggested the dollar level in Ordinance
No. 43, 1982, be raised from the proposed $100 limit.
Mayor Cassell asked if the ordinance limits an individual who decides to
totally finance his own campaign to spending $100.
City Attorney Huisjen replied he felt it would not limit a person who was
self -financed to the $100 but would only limit contributions from others to '
$100.
-205-
May 4, 1982
Barbara Rutstein, representing the League of Women Voters, noted her
organization was in support of all four proposed ordinances.
Wayne Ude, 931 Vanderbilt Court, Chairman of Fort Collins Common Cause,
pointed out the forms required to be filed were not at all complicated or
difficult to fill out and submit. He added his group supported the $100
limit.
Mayor Cassell noted he felt the state law was adequate and that this
ordinance might discourage persons from entering the political arena for
the first time.
Councilmember Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Knezovich,
to adopt Ordinance No. 43, 1982 on First Reading. Yeas: Councilmembers
Horak, Knezovich and Reeves. Nays: Councilmembers Elliott, Wilmarth,
Cassell, and Clarke.
THE MOTION FAILED.
' Mayor Cassell announced that this item would be concluded after the dinner
break and the Citizen Participation portion of the meeting had been com-
pleted.

Tony Giacopelli, 3701 Post Road, Laporte, appeared to ask Council if it
would be possible to place a sign stating "Worship at a church of your
choice" on vacant bus benches. He noted his contract prohibited political,
' alcohol, tobacco or religious advertising on the back of a bench.

"Last July, the Airport Ad Hoc Committee and staff began the process to
develop and write the Minimum Standards and Requirements for Tenants of the
Fort Collins -Loveland Airport. In addition to those individuals or
companies who lease land, buildings, facilities, and/or hangar space, this
document provides the requirements for all persons who are engaged in a
profitable business and utilizing the Airport, and all temporary uses of
the Airport, such as air shows and fly -ins.
On March 9th, the Airport Ad Hoc Committee held a public meeting in the I
Loveland City Hall to hear public input on the Minimum Standards and
Requirements.
With the construction of the new development area beginning and a marketing
program underway to find new aviation businesses and corporate aircraft
tenants for the Airport, the approval of the Minimum Standards and Require-
ments is very important.
Copies of the proposed Minimum Standards and Requirements are being sent to
Council under separate cover."
Mayor Cassell asked if anyone was present to discuss this item. Seeing
none, he declared the public hearing closed.
Councilmember Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Elliott,
to adopt the Resolution. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott,
Horak, Knezovich, Reeves and Wilmarth. Nays: None.

Appeal of the Planning and Zoning Board Decision
on Fox Meadows Business Park Master Plan,
Planning and Zoning Board Decision Upheld
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"Nature of Review
Article V (Planning and Zoning Board Authority) of Chapter 2 of the Code of
the City of Fort Collins authorizes the Board to take final action on all
planning items and, furthermore, sets forth the procedure for appealing of
decision of the Planning and Zoning Board to the City Council. The appeal
procedure requires the appellant to submit written notice to the City Clerk
and provides for the City Clerk to send written notice of the appeal to
all interested parties. The City Council considers the appeal based upon '
the transcript of the proceedings of the initial hearing (attached), all
exhibits received by the Planning and Zoning Board (attached), and any new
evidence submitted.
Description
The applicant is seeking Master Plan approval for a 12.27-ac site consist-
ing of recreational, office, manufacturing, and warehousing uses. The
project is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Horse -
tooth Road and Timberline Road. The site is zoned R-M-P, Medium Density
Planned Residential, and is improved with a single-family home and several
outbuildings. The surrounding zoning and land uses are as follows:
North: B-P; vacant (proposed neighborhood shopping area in the Greenfield
Village master plan).
South: T; existing single-family home.
East: R-L-P; existing single-family homes (Fox Meadows Subdivision).
West: R-H; vacant (proposed office/industrial/warehouse uses in the
Horsetooth/Timberline Office Park PUD).

1. Relationship To Adopted Official Plans: Horsetooth and Timberline
Roads are arterial streets as designated on the Master Street Plan.
2. Utilities: Utilities are available at the site.
3. Background: The property was originally zoned T-Transition and annexed
on December 5, 1978 as part of a larger property known as the Fox
Meadows Annexation. On May 8, 1980, the property was rezoned from
T-Transition to R-M-P, Medium Density Planned Residential.
Planning and Zoninq Board Recommendation
At their March 22, 1982 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board voted 6-1
(Stoner voting no) to approve the Fox Meadows master plan application. A
number of property owners in the Fox Meadows neighborhood opposing the
request were present at the hearing (refer to the attached minutes and
letters from the public). It was the Planning and Zoning Board's opinion
that the location of the site at the corner of two busy arterial streets,
and given the type of development being planned on the other corners, makes
the development of the project for residential purposes very unlikely.
Furthermore, the types of impacts that the neighborhood groups were con-
cerned about, for instance, noise, odor, unsightliness, drainage, etc. can
be more appropriately addressed at the time the property is being planned
and specific uses are known.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the master plan for Fox Meadows Business Park.
Given the extent of public input at the Planning and Zoning Board's hear-
ing, the Chief Planner will require the applicant to participate in a
' meeting with the neighborhood to present and discuss their development
plans for the property prior to formal submittal of preliminary plan
application to the Planning and Zoning Board.

May 4, 1982
Mayor Cassell noted the material presented by the Fox Meadows Homeowners
Association had been reviewed by the City Attorney and had been determined
to be a summation of the arguments already presented and technically not
new evidence.
The following persons spoke in opposition to the approval of the master
plan for Fox Meadows Business Park:
1. David Ross, 2221 Antelope Road
2. Jackie Ross, 2221 Antelope Road
3. Jim Clayton, 2208 Antelope Road
Acting Planning Director Ken Waido cited several examples where industrial
development is adjacent to low density residential development.
Councilmember Clarke commented on the philosophy of the Land Development
Guidance System that says all land uses are compatible with proper buf-
fering and mitigation. He added that, because of increased traffic volume
at the intersection of Horsetooth and Timberline, it would be a wise land '
use decision to allow some type of commercial/industrial use there. He
noted the project would still have to be looked at in terms of how it is
designed prior to approval of the preliminary plan.
Councilmember Knezovich asked Council to weigh strongly the negative vote
of Planning and Zoning Boardmember Stoner when making their decision.
Councilmember Wilmarth made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Clarke,
to uphold the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board with the provision
that the Chief Planner require the applicant to participate in a meeting
with the neighborhood to present and discuss their development plans for
the property prior to formal submittal of preliminary plan application to
the Planning and Zoning Board. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke,
Elliott, Horak, Reeves and Wilmarth. Nays: Councilmember Knezovich.

Resolution Awarding Foothills Water System
Contract for Design to M & I, Inc., Adopted
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"The higher topographic region on the west edge of the City has his-
torically had lower quality service than the balance of the City. Three '
years ago a phased program was initiated to improve water pressures and
-211-
IMay 4, 1982
system reliability in this zone in order to provide adequate fire protec-
tion and meet peak day demands. The first phase included construction of
an inline temporary pump station to improve pressures. The second phase
includes construction of a water reservoir and 3 miles of pipeline. The
third phase includes a permanent pump station and 2 112 miles of pipeline.
Budgeting for these improvements has been approved by Council as follows:
1982 $ 230,850
Proposed 1983 2,333,850
Proposed 1984 375,200
The Phase 3 portion of the 1983 work may be delayed until 1984 or 1985 in
an effort to minimize rate increases. However, it is imperative that we
proceed with Phase 2 of this project in order to provide system reliability
and adequate fire protection.
Most of the design of Phase 2 and Phase 3 is to be performed by an engi-
neering consultant. Funds for this purpose are included in the 1982
budget. An advertisement was placed in the Fort Collins Coloradoan on
February 7, 1982, requesting responses from interested firms b�ebruary
17. We received statements of qualifications and interest from 21 firms.
The selection committee reduced this list to the six most responsive
firms.
Cornell Consulting Co.
Hydro -Triad
M&I, Inc.
James M. Montgomery
Simons, Li Associates
Taranto Stanton and Tagge
These six firms were asked to submit a more detailed proposal by March 24.
The committee evaluated these six and selected two for interviews.
M&I, Inc.
James M. Montgomery
After the interviews on March 20, the committee strongly recommended en-
tering into a design agreement with M&I, Inc.
The cost for the engineering services which includes site evaluation,
design, surveying, legal descriptions, coordination with CSU, construction
plans and specifications are:
Basic Services: $182,000
Alternative 1*: $ 18,200
Estimate Expenses: $ 10,872
-212-
I
May 4, 1982
* Alternative 1 includes final design of a potential energy savings
item should the feasibility study, included in the basic service,
show the alternative to be practical. The initial contract will be
for $192,872 which includes the basic services and estimated
expenses.
The final proposal has been reviewed by Water Utility and legal staff. The
proposal is thorough, the fees appropriate. It is, therefore, recommended
that we enter into agreement with M&I, Inc. for these services. Funds are
budgeted and available."
Councilmember Wilmarth withdrew from vote or discussion of this item since
M & I, Inc. is a client of his law firm.
City Manager Arnold recommended the award of this contract to M & I,
Inc.
Councilmember Horak asked if the price of the contract was negotiated after
the selection was made.
Water and Sewer Utility Director Mike Smith replied that there was a '
preliminary price given with the proposals but the actual negotiated price
was done after the selection in accordance with the task the engineer would
do.
Councilmember Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Clarke,
to adopt the Resolution and to direct staff to report on the energy feasi-
bility study alternative once completed. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell,
Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich and Reeves. Nays: None (Wilmarth

Settlement of $410,000 with Green
Construction for all claims on Joe Wright
Dam Construction, authorized
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"SUMMARY
Joe Aright Dam and Reservoir is a project begun in 1972 with actual con-
struction beginning in 1977. The City's representative as design engineer,
construction manager, and project engineer has always been McCall -Ellingson
and its legal successors. The contractor was Green Construction.
-213-
May 4, 1982
Problems occurred during construction, including weather, labor problems,
and a massive landslide. The original construction bid was $5,225,336, but
that increased to a final cost with this settlement of $9,119,874.35.
Negotiations and court actions were entered as soon as completion occurred
in 1979. Claims for extra cost from the contractor, Green Construction,
totalled $3,590,253.97. Had we accepted all claims the total cost would
have been $12,300,128.32. The City would not honor or accept those. So
we negotiated. Finally Council authorized going to court. Many staff
hours have been expended the past two years.
The last pay estimate of $149,875.83 has been due Green for the past 19
months. The interest amount due at 8% per the contract amounts to $18,984.
This then makes the final construction cost plus interest amount to
$9,119,874.35.
We now have agreement to settle those claims for $410,000.
' BACKGROUND
Most of the increased costs were caused by the slide. Everyone agrees the
cause of the slide was a one -inch "lens" of greasy clay lying on a diagonal
plane below the surface on the south side of the dam. Everyone also agrees
there is no technology that could have been applied that would have iden-
tified that lens without some other evidence to make the designers look for
it.
There are two categorical changes to cost allowed by the contract: "changed
conditions" that could not be anticipated and "changed quantities" that
designers under -estimated.
Cleaning up and stabilizing after the slide cost an additional $3,237,583.
Normal cost increases due to "changed quantities" amounted to $227,941.35.
The $410,000 settlement for "changed conditions" brings the non -slide cost
increase to $637,941.35.
CLAIMS
In most construction projects extra cost items are "claimed" to be owed by
the owner to the contractor. Green Construction has made a number of
claims for extra cost; these deal with such as the. following:
' (1) Winter standby equipment cost, for $1,275,125.41
(2) Financing charges, for $337,384.16
-214-
May 4, 1982
(3) Economic adjustment cost, for $1,011,036.67
(4) Other Miscellaneous claims, for $966,707.73
Some of the claims of the contractor we believe we should not pay.
We look at all such claims very hard to protect the City's interest.
In agreeing to settle the $3,590,253.97 for $410,000, we reasoned with the
contractor and agreed that there was much more difficult excavation than
anticipated due to conditions unknown at the time of bidding. The addi-
tional amounts of excavation caused higher cost due to the acceleration of
effort necessary to meet a winter shut -down schedule. These items caused
much higher contractor cost in the cutoff trench, in the old creek channel,
and under the outlet conduit and control tower. In addition, the consul-
tant was very conservative in approving additional quantities paid for, so
a small amount of the claim settlement is paying for some disputed quantity
amounts.
FUNDS
Council has authorized increases as needed during hte progress of the
project, so most of the funds have been provided.
Available balance in project account
Payments due to Green Construction:
-Final pay estimate request submitted
by Green Construction (10/31/80)

Current Water Fund appropriations of $270,000 are available and sufficient
to cover the S258,514.43 needed due to the delay of the garage at Water
Treatment Plant #1 and Bingham Hill Reservoir design costs. No new appro-
priation of funds is needed.
-215-
May 4, 1982
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends settling these claims for $410,000 and concluding the cost
at $ 9,119,874.35. A Council motion to settle.is necessary.
CONCLUSION
It's unusual for a city government to build a dam. The complexity of such
a project usually requires vast specialist bureaucracies like the Federal
Bureau of Reclamation. But the people of Fort Collins can be pleased that
they did it; several City Councils and Mayors can also be proud; the Water
Board was intimately involved and needs to be recognized for it. The dam
will serve well for generations."
Assistant City Attorney Greg Denton gave a summary of the Joe Wright
dam project from 1972 to present. He noted he had received a letter from
Green's attorney indicating they had accepted the settlement sum of
$410,000. He then asked for a motion authorizing the settlement of the
matter.
Councilmember Wilmarth noted many things had gone wrong during this project
and noted the City had taken positive steps to insure this type of problem
would not occur again.
Councilmember Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Knezovich,
to settle the claims of Green Construction for $410,000. Yeas: Council -
members Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Reeves and Wilmarth.

Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Enter
Into a Sludge Management Facilities Contract for
Engineering Services During Construction, Adopted
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"It is recommended that the City enter into a contract with Black & Veatch,
Consulting Engineers, for the amount of $455,137 for professional engineer-
ing and inspection services during construction of the Sludge Management
Facilities. These services include the following:
Construction Phase Services $279,588
Preparation of 0&M Manual $ 11,460
Start-up Services $ 46,089
Resident Inspection Services $118,000
Total $455,137
A more detailed description of the scope of services is included in the
attached exhibit "A". Approximately 75% to 85% of the contract cost will I
be funded by the EPA. Funds for the City's share of the contract cost are
budgeted and available.

May 4, 1982
Black & Veatch was initially selected to design the Wastewater Treatment
Plant No. 2 expansion back in the early 1970's. As a continuation of that
project, Black & Veatch was selected to develop the City's sludge manage-
ment plan in 1977 with the intent to have them later design the facilities
and to provide engineering services during the construction of the project.
To have one engineering firm provide all the engineering services for a
project from the planning stage thru construction is a well established
and accepted practice, besides being cost effective.
Design of the project started in early 1981 and was recently completed.
The services provided in this proposed contract will complete the contract
engineering services with Black & Veatch required for the sludge disposal
project.
The staff is extremely pleased with the overall quality of Black & Veatch's
work during the past years and recommends approval of the proposed con-
tract."
' Councilmember Wilmarth asked if the $455,137 figure represented a fair
competitive price.
Water and Sewer Director Mike Smith replied that staff feels it is a
competitive price. He added it was a "not to exceed" price and the City
would only pay for services rendered. He noted since this was an EPA
project, the paperwork involved adds to the cost of administering the
contract.
Councilmember Horak suggested that in future situations of this type other
proposals be solicited to determine if other firms would be willing to
assume the responsibility/risk involved with providing engineering ser-
vices for a project they did not design.
