The vacation is necessary as a result of a redesign and a change to the positioning of the buildings on Tract J. This part of the utility easement is no longer necessary. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 9, 1983, Relating to Approval by the Planning and Zoning Board of Enlargement of a Building Containing a Non -Con ormino Use. In 1979, the City Council delegated final authority to the Planning and Zoning Board in consideration. of N6n-Conforming Uses. This was one of a series of delegations giving the Board final authority over Planned Unit Developments, subdivisions, and R-H Conversions, subject to appeal to City Council. However, one section of the Code relating to enlargement of a building containing a Non -Conforming Use was over- looked, although the intent was that all planning items except zon- ings, rezonings, and annexations were to be under the authority of the Planning and Zoning Board, subject to appeal to City Council. The Ordinance which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 18, accomplishes the intended change relating to enlargement of buildings containing a Non -Conforming Use. 7.

The credits are to be distributed to Mrs. Rose L. Miller, $864.03, and Edward Thai, $1,502.10. Mrs. Miller had existing curb and gutter and Mr. Thai had existing curb, gutter and sidewalk. In addition to these two credits, staff is recommending a change in ownership on one property from Norman Graham to Stephen Englehardt. To accomplish these revisions, an amending ordinance has been pre- pared.

Resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Renewal Rider for Union Pacific Agreement CD 2 9-I. In September 1947, the City of Fort Collins entered into an agreement with the Union Pacific Railroad which covered the powerline on and across the railroad right of way located at Jefferson and Linden Streets. The latest extension of this agreement expired on September 18, 1982. Since the powerline is still in use, the Light and Power Utility requests that this agreement be renewed. Union Pacific has prepared the Renewal Rider which extends this agreement until Septem- ber 18, 1992. There is no charge for this extension of the agreement. The overhead line will remain in use until the area it serves is redeveloped, at which time, the line will be converted to an under- ground installation. 14. Routine Powerline Easement. The City has acquired a routine powerline easement from Collins Park Venture, located at the southwest corner of Timberline and Horsetooth I Roads in the South Collins Tech Center, 1st Filing.

' THE MOTION CARRIED. -64- February 1, 1983 Resolution Authorizing Contributions To Larimer County For Funding Various Non -Profit Agencies For Social Services, Adopted Following is the staff's memorandum on this item: "In 1981 the City of Fort Collins turned over the responsibility for admin- istering the Human Resource agencies to the Larimer County Department of Human Development. In the past, individual contracts between the various agencies and the City of Fort Collins were initiated and the City had the responsibility for paying each individual agency while actual monitoring of the agency's performance was done by the County's Department of Human Development. This Resolution would change the former process. Now, rather than maintaining individual contracts with each of the Human Resource agencies, the City will enter into a single contract with Larimer County to distribute, administer, and monitor the Human Resource agencies. Thus, at the beginning of each year, a lump sum payment will be made to Larimer County instead of numerous monthly payments to each agency. For 1983, the lump sum payment totals $126,861 which represents 15.6% of the City's $811,234 Revenue Sharing allocation. This funding amount does not include the additional $11,000 identified with the 3/40 sales tax." Councilmember Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to adopt the Resolution. Councilmember Wilmarth asked if the City had any input into how the $126,861 was spent and if the City monitored the use of the funds. City Manager Arnold replied the City had allocated the money based on discussions during the budget process and it had been broken down agency by agency. The money would be given to the County in a lump sum rather than on a monthly basis. He presented an alternate Resolution that specified each agency allocation and read the breakdown of the funds. Councilmember Wilmarth suggested adopting the alternate Resolution that showed the breakdown of each agency allocation. Councilmembers Horak and Miller aoreed to the consideration of the substi- tute Resolution. - The vote on Councilmember Horak's motion to adopt the alternate Resolution specifying each agency allocation was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Horak, Knezovich, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. -65- 1 February 1, 1983 Resolution Authorizing the Expenditure of Funds, Staff, and Supplies for the Dissemination of Information Regarding the Proposed Citizen Initiated Charter Amendment Providing Resolutions Shall be Subject to the Procedure for Initiatives, Adopted Following is the staff's memorandum on this item: "During the discussions on the public information program on the sales tax, Council gave direction to prepare a Resolution finding the proposed citizen initiated Charter amendment to be a matter of official concern and autho- rizing the expenditure of fund and/or the use of City staff and supplies for the dissemination of information relative to the amendment. The attached Resolution accomplishes that directive. Staff has not as yet developed a specific public information program as was prepared on the. sales tax issue. Methods to keep track of costs and to report them accord- ing to the Campaign Reform Act are in place and staff is seeking further Council direction on how to proceed." Councilmember Knezovich made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Wilmarth, to adopt the Resolution. Councilmember Knezovich stated that in the interests of complying with the Campaign Reform Act, it was necessary to adopt the Resolution to give staff and Council the right to respond to requests for information or disseminate information on the issue. City Attorney Huisjen stated the Resolution was needed for the protection of staff and Council so they may answer and respond to questions or to present any materials Council wants presented. Councilmember Wilmarth expressed concern with Section 2 of the Resolution and suggested a specific dollar amount be inserted to define the term "reasonable and prudent". He felt Council should provide staff with more definite guidelines. Mayor Cassell noted there were no specific plans to expend funds in connec- tion with this issue. This Resolution is for the protection of those involved and to declare the issue a matter of official concern to the Council. Councilmember Knezovich agreed with Councilmember Wilmarth that reasonable and prudent could use a better definition. He added he expected the City would spend no more than $1,000 in "in -kind" contributions. February 1, 1983 ' Councilmember Knezovich made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Wilmarth, to amend the Resolution to insert "not to exceed $1,000" after the words "reasonable and prudent" in Section 2 of the Resolution. Ronald Wemple, 1204 Green, questioned the term "general information" and asked if the persons who proposed this amendment would be involved in the preparation of any written material relating to the issue. Mayor Cassell replied the informational material would be prepared in much the same manner as materials for the sales tax brochure were handled although nothing that elaborate was envisioned. Councilmember Horak pointed out the City had not taken a position on this issue. City Manager Arnold suggested the nuestion might be scheduled for the February 8th work session to determine if Council wishes to take a position on the issue. The vote on Councilmember Knezovich's motion to amend his original motion -by inserting the phrase "not to exceed $1,000" was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Miller, and ' Wilmarth. Nays: done. THE MOTION CARRIED. The vote on Councilmember Knezovich's motion to adopt the Resolution as amended was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Resolution Authorizing the Mayor to Take Certain Action Relative to Burlington Northern Railroad's Proposed Rate to Platte River Power Authority for Transporting of Coal to Rawhide One. Adooted Following is Mayor Cassell's memorandum on this item: "Attached is aresolution which Platte River Power Authority has requested to support its. position with Burlington Northern. John Huisjen has reviewed the resolution and I have asked that it be placed on the Agenda. Please feel free to discuss it with me prior to the meeting. Platte River I will have someone present at the meeting to answer questions." -67- IFebruary 1, 1983 Councilmember Clarke made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Elliott, to adopt the Resolution. Mayor Cassell elaborated on the issue, noting that Platte River was a captive shipper and the rate charged to them by Burlington Northern for the 242 mile trip between Antelope Mine to Rawhide had been expected to be between $3-4 per ton mile and was now being proposed at $7.40 per ton mile. Platte River feels the $7.40 per ton mile is excessive and is asking each of the four cities that make up PRPA to take a position supporting PRPA in their negotiations with Burlington Northern. The vote on Councilmember Clarke's motion to adopt the Resolution was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Resolution Making Appointments to Two Boards and Commissions Following is the staff's memorandum on this item: "Council teams have interviewed applicants for the vacancies on the Plan- ning and Zoning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals. These vacancies were created with the resignations of Barbara Purvis from the Planning and Zoning Board and Eva Lieser from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The recommendations of the interview teams are being forwarded under separate cover." Mayor Cassell noted Eva Lieser had contacted the City Clerk's office stating she would not be leaving the city and asking that she remain on the Zoning Board of Appeals. He added an alternate Resolution addressing only the Planning and Zoning Board vacancy had been prepared if Council desires to allow Mrs. Lieser to continue to serve on the Zoning Board of Appeals. Councilmember Clarke made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Horak, to propose the name of Ingrid Simpson as the regular member of the Planning and Zoning Board. Councilmember Knezovich made a motion to propose the name of Randall Larsen as the regular member of the Planning and Zoning Board. ' THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. February 1, 1983 Councilmember Knezovich noted he had offered the name of Randall Larsen as the regular member of the Planning and Zoning Board since he felt it was in the best interest of the City to have residents of the City of Fort Collins appointed to that particular board. Councilmember Horak felt the Planning and Zoning Board should have a broad perspective and that residency should not be used as a criterion in deter- mining the make up of the Board. He supported the appointment of Mrs. Simpson. Councilmember Clarke pointed out a member of the Urban Growth Area outside the C i ty limits was in a good position to make decisions in the area of County referrals. The vote on Councilmember Clarke's motion to.appoint Ingrid Simpson to the Planning and Zoning Board was as follows: Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: Councilmember Knezo- vich. THE MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to propose Randall Larsen as the alternate to the Planning and Zoning Board. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Miller, and Wil- marth. Nays: Councilmember Knezovich. THE MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Knezovich stated that while he supported Mr. Larsen on the Planning and Zoning Board, he was opposed to alternates serving on boards and commissions. Councilmember Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Miller, to adopt Resolution 83-29 inserting the names of Ingrid Simpson and Randall Larsen. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: Councilmember Knezovich. THE MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Cassell again stated Eva Lieser would remain on the Zoning Board of Appeals due to her changed circumstances. Citizen Participation A. Proclamation Naming February 14 as Human Relations Day was accepted by Reverend Roy Jones and three other members o Together", a group -69- IFebruary 1, 1983 formed to promote a climate in Fort Collins where persons can under- stand one another across cultures, religions, nationalities, and other backgrounds. Items Associated with the Plaster Agreement between the City and Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated Following is the staff's memorandum on this item: "A. Resolution approving a Modification Agreement to the Master Agreement. B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 17, 1983, Authorizing the Issuance of a Bond Anticipation Note in the Principal Amount of not more than $25,000,000. C. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 18, 1983, Appropriating Bond Anticipation Note Proceeds and Later Bond Proceeds in the Capital Projects Fund. D. Resolution Providing a Commitment for the Issuance of Pollution Control and Sewage and Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (Anheuser- Busch, Incorporated Project) in a Principal Amount not to exceed $60,000,000. E. Resolution Providing for the Issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Anheuser-Busch, Incorporated Project) in a Principal Amount not to exceed $1,000,000. The accompanying memorandum from City Attorney, John Huisjen, explains the Modification Agreement to the Master Agreement. The Bond Anticipation Note (BAN) Ordinance (Item B) enacts provisions of the Master Agreement. The BAN is being established to provide interim financing prior to notice to proceed from Anheuser-Busch (A-B), between notice to proceed and closing on long-term financing, and to provide a revenue source to allow appropriations for public improvements related to the location of an A-B brewery in Fort Collins. The BAN has been structured in two tiers. The first tier of $5,000,000 is the maximum we expect will be drawn. The second tier of $20,000,000, referred to as a backstop, provides the balance of our revenue source for appropriation and is not expected to be drawn. I Monies are only drawn, against the BAN, to meet allowable expenditures when they become due. The allowable expenditures prior to A-B's notice to -70- February 1, 1983 proceed include issuance costs; commitment fees, related to the two tiers described above; and interest. After notice to proceed and prior to long-term financing, the BAN can be drawn against for the acquisition and construction of projects described in the Master Agreement. The costs associated with the BAN will be either included in long-term financing or recovered from A-B through the Supplemental User Fee in the Master Agreement. The BAN is being issued to Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. Morgan Guaranty has agreed to participate in part of the BAN with First Interstate Bank of Fort Collins and United Bank of Fort Collins. The Appropriation Ordinance (Item C) appropriates the BAN and later bond proceeds in the Capital Projects Fund for the costs of these improvements described in the Master Agreement: Electric Substation $ 1,200,000 Wastewater Treatment Facilities 5,800,000 Water Rights 5,709,000 Water Transmission Main 2,500,000 Optional Water Treatment Facilities 2,575,000 Storm Drainage 250,000 Streets and Interchange 6,500,000 Other (Bond Issuance Costs, etc.) 466,000 $25,000,000 The Resolution on Pollution Control Bonds (Item D) is in accordance with the Master Agreement. The amount requested was set on the high side, so hopefully a subsequent request will not be necessary, while also providing sufficient funds for the most expensive of the alternatives A-B is evalu- ating. Exhibit B to the Resolution lists the major components of the proposed Project that are presently contemplated. Two scenarios have been developed for the total requirements of the Pollution Control Bonds: 1. 50% Land Application and 50% Sewage Treatment. Pollution Control Facilities $ 9,100,000 Sewage and Solid Waste Disposal Facilities 28,000,000 Contingency 2,900,000 $40,000,000 -71- February 1, 1983 2. 100% Sewage Treatment. Pollution Control Facilities 9,100,000 Sewage and Solid Waste Disposal Facilities 40,000,000 Contingency 9,900,000 $60,000,000 A-B is currently evaluating year-round land application in a cold climate area northeast of the City. The Resolution contains a provision that, unless extended, A-B has three years to close on the bonds. The Resolution on Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Item E) is a new item that A-B has requested. The IDRB's will be part of the plant itself. There are also two changes made in the Master Agreement that serve to offset adding this IDRB issue. These are: 1) the change from annual to semi-annual Supplemental User Fee payments; and 2) the removal of the $100,000 deposit for commitment fees on the line of credit -- which were to be paid out of the City's interest earnings on A-B-related taxes -- with its refund when the brewery is 50% complete. We have significant cash flow savings or direct monetary savings related to these changes. Additionally, the City will collect its fee for issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds. None of these actions puts the City at risk for re -payment. All payments on all of these actions will be made by A-B. There will be no cost to the City of issuing these instruments or of re -payment, except for the staff time consumed in making the arrangements and preparing and reviewing the documents." City Attorney Huisjen read amendments to the Master Agreement that had been made since Council received copies of the Agreement. He stated that on page 6, the word "business" should be inserted after the figure (10), making the phrase read "ten (10) business days" and on page 14, in the first paragraph, the phrase "three days after having been" should be inserted in place of "the date it is". Barbara Rutstein, 2917 Oxford Court, asked several questions about the modification agreement. City Attorney Huisjen noted the amendments to pages 7 and 10 of Ordinance No. 17, 1983 (Item B) noting the figure $1,000,000 should be changed to -72- February 1, 1983 $50,000 on both those pages and that the last sentence of Section 3 on page 7 should be deleted. Councilmember Wilmarth made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Horak to adopt Ordinance No. 17, 1983 on First Reading including the amendments described by the City Attorney. Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED.

Yeas: Councilmembers Cassell, Clarke, Elliott, Horak, Knezovich, Miller, and Wilmarth. Nays: None. THE MOTION CARRIED. Councilmember Wilmarth asked staff for an explanation of the appropriate- ness of this proposed action. City Manager Arnold replied the City Attorney had reviewed the item and it met the letter of the law. Anheuser-Busch had indicated the proceeds would be used for part of the plant, the brew kettles and mash cookers. Finance Director Ron Wood stated that although the City had not formally reviewed the use of IDRB's against the policy guidelines, the project was consistent with those policies and guidelines. Councilmember Horak expressed concern that the City had not reviewed an application and gone through the normal process used for any IDRB's. Finance Director Ron 'Wood noted there had not been time to review through the normal process. He suggested staff provide a memorandum with the staff recommendation in terms of the project and how it meets the policies and guidelines set forth. He expressed confidence the transaction was consis- tent with those policies and guidelines and the staff recommendation would be positive. -73- February 1, 1983 Councilmember Horak asked if this action could be postponed until February 15th. City Manager Arnold replied that closely with Anheuser-Busch in to the community that they fel would be positive. Secondly, this type of a situation where entire-$400,000,000 plant. He guidelines if Council were more it could but noted the staff had worked so terms of knowing the costs and the benefits t the results of going through the process the guidelines were not really written for staff knows $1,000,000 will not build the stated staff would go back and apply the comfortable. Councilmember Wilmarth felt it was important not to bend the City rules and regulations with regard to this matter in view of the concern of certain citizens that the City is giving preferential treatment to A-B.
