Larimer County is proposing roadway improvements to County Road 32
(Windsor Road) through a County Special Improvement District. The
State Statutes require that the City of Fort Collins consent by
Ordinance to the construction of the improvements which lie within the
City limits.
Passage of this Ordinance does not obligate the City to participate in
any of the costs of street improvements within the district.
Upon receiving this consent, Larimer County will begin the formal
process to create the County Road 32 Special Improvement District to
finance the costs of the improvements.

of the City of Fort Collins concerning the organization of City
government. The Code sections which are repealed are replaced by

Council approved Resolution 86-20 accepting the petition of property
owners for the Arbor Special Improvement District No. 88 at its
February 4, 1986 meeting. Since that time, the petitioners for the
district have changed. On July 1, Council adopted Resolution 86-113
accepting the new petitioners and repealing Resolution 86-20.
The proposed Arbor Plaza Special Improvement District is located at
the Southwest corner of Harmony Road and College Avenue. The proposed
improvements include curb, gutter, asphalt pavement, sidewalk,
landscaped streetscapes and medians, gravel base, earthwork grading,
traffic signals, water distribution system, sanitary sewer collection
system, and storm drainage. Streets to be improved include Harmony
Road from College Avenue to the Burlington Northern Railroad, Mason
Street from Kensington drive to College Avenue, and College Avenue
from the intersection improvements at Harmony Road to Mason Street.
The Ordinance provides for the issuance of Special Assessment Bonds in
the Principal Amount of $1,085,000 for the construction of street,
water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage improvements.
On April 17, 1986, the Colorado legislature passed House Bill No.
1184. This new law makes changes to the Colorado Revised Statutes
concerning special assessment districts. In order to take advantage
of some of the new provisions in the bill, certain sections of the
Fort Collins Code, Article 16, need to be amended.
To date, $225,000 has been appropriated in the Capital Projects Fund
for the Outdoor Pool Concession/Bathhouse and Chemical Storage
project. Based on final design, the project estimated cost is
$388,317. Therefore, an' additional, $163,317 is needed to proceed.
Currently, the 1/4 cent tax -supported Capital Projects Fund has an
unobligated balance of $347,976, and Staff recommends appropriating
$163,317 from the unobligated balance to the Capital Projects Fund to
complete the construction of the Outdoor Pool Concession/Bathhouse.
For comparison purposes, Budget has prepared two reports.

During the review of the Street Design Criteria and Construction
Standards, staff discovered a discrepancy between the 1981 Standards
and Section 129 of the City Code relating to guarantee of sidewalks,
driveways, curbs and gutters.
The City Engineering staff and a committee representing the private
sector (contractors, designers and developers) have been meeting
weekly since October, 1985, to revise the City's Street Design
Criteria and Construction Standards. These documents were last
reviewed in 1981. Revisions varied from minor grammatical corrections
to the addition of a completely new section on street patching. Over
fifty items were either revised or added for the new edition.
The Fossil Creek Community Park Request for Proposals (RFP #P-151)
asked for the preparation of a preliminary park master plan along with
engineering documents (drawings and specifications) for the
rehabilitation of Portner Dam, which is located at the park site.
This approach insures that the dam rehabilitation work is compatible
with, and incorporated into the park master planning effort. Eighteen
consultants responded to the RFP with Resource Consultants, Inc. of
Fort Collins being selected for the project through the review panel
and interview process. Resource Consultants, Inc.'s fee is proposed
not to exceed $53,300. The preliminary master plan is scheduled for
completion in October 1986, and the engineering documents for the dam
rehabilitation should be approved by the state engineer by May 1987.
On September 1, 1981, Council appointed Bill D. Carnahan as the City's
representative on the Board of Directors of the Platte River Power
Authority to fill the unexpired term of Stan Case and reappointed Mr.
Carnahan on December 18, 1984 with a term to expire on December 31,
1988. Mr. Carnahan has resigned his employment with the City of Fort
Collins and has therefore resigned his position on the Board of
Directors' of'Platte River Power Authority.
This Resolution appoints Richard Shannon, the City's new Director of
Utility Services, as the City's representative to the PRPA Board for
-436-

the remainder of the unexpired term of Bill Carnahan. He will serve
on the Board along with the Mayor's appointed representative Barbara
Rutstein.

The Larimer County Community Action Board is an advisory body to the
Larimer County Department of Human Development. The City has been
represented on the Community Action Board since 1979. Carol Osborne
was appointed as the City's representative in 1984 but has now
tendered her resignation from the Board.
Staff recommends Linda Hopkins be appointed to represent the City on
the Board.
On July 1, Council announced appointments to the 11 positions on the
Charter Review Committee and tabled the Resolution to July 15 to allow
time for public input, in keeping with current policy. This
Resolution makes appointments to the Committee and defines issues on
which the Committee will focus its review, sets a timeframe for making
recommendations to Council, and establishes guidelines concerning
staffing and the meeting schedule of the Committee.
The applicant's appeal of the Planning and Zoning Board approval was
for the purpose of requesting a waiver of the requirements for on -site
street improvements. After further consideration, the applicant has
agreed to the required on -site street improvements and therefore has
withdrawn the appeal. Staff recommends that Council accept the
withdrawal of this appeal.
Routine Easements for Prospect Street Bridge Across Spring Creek
Two routine easements have been obtained for the Prospect Street
Bridge across Spring Creek'in the Seven Lakes Business Park: a Grant
of Slope Easement from the' Neenan Building Partnership and a Grant of

Ordinance No. 105, 1986, Appropriating Prior '
Year Reserves in the Capital Projects Fund for
Use on the Outdoor Pool Concession/Bathhouse and
Chemical Storage Project, Adopted on First Reading
Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"Executive Summary
To date, $225,000 has been appropriated in the Capital Projects Fund for
the Outdoor Pool Concession/Bathhouse and Chemical Storage project. Based
on final design, the project estimated cost is $388,317. Therefore, an
additional $163,317 is needed to proceed. Currently, the 1/4 cent
tax -supported Capital Projects Fund has an unobligated balance of $347,976,
and Staff recommends appropriating $163,317 from the unobligated balance to
the Capital Projects Fund to complete the construction of the Outdoor Pool
Concession/Bathhouse. For comparison purposes, Budget has prepared two
reports. Attachment #1 shows the effect of this additional appropriation
request to the Capital Projects Fund. Attachment #2 shows the status of
the Capital Projects Fund without this additional appropriation.
Background
In early 1983, the Larimer County Health Department would not allow the
existing facility to open because of many health and safety code '
violations. In March, 1983, City Council appropriated $40,000 to be used
as a "stop -gap" measure to correct a minimal number of these violations in
order to open for the 1983 swimming season. At that time, the City of Fort
Collins and the Larimer County Health Department came to a verbal agreement
that the existing facility would be replaced within five years or by 1987.
The original project budget estimate of $225,000 was established in early
1983 based on a 2,000 square foot facility. Due to a short time frame for
estimating, the Larimer County Health Department and the Parks and
Recreation Department were not contacted for their design considerations.
The conceptual cost was determined by estimating the construction at
$100/square foot plus contingency of $25,000.
During the development phases of this* project, extensive research was
conducted by the design team through numerous meetings with the Parks and
Recreation staff, the Larimer County''Health Department, and contractors.
The final result is a facility, consisting of 3,497 square feet, that is a
functionally -programmed facility. The new facility will provide lighting
and ventilation to the standards required by the Larimer County Health
Codes. Keeping in mind the high use of this facility, the locker rooms and
the concession area floors are to be a synthetic finish and all building
finishes will be constructed utilizing low maintenance materials.
Additionally, at the request of the Poudre Fire Authority, a new chemical '
storage building is included to store toxic chlorine which is currently
stored in the City Park Center.
-439-
July 15, 1986
' In general, the increased square footage and additional required funds of
$163,317 can be identified as follows:
• Increase the Public Toilet Facilities - These need to be
increased by 200% as required by the Larimer County Health
Department.
• Men's and Women's Guards Room - The employees currently
utilize space on the first floor and restrooms on the second
floor of City Park Center. These areas are substandard for
this purpose.
• Storage Area and Custodial Room - This is required to promote
daily maintenance.
• Additional Site Work - This was not planned for in the
conceptual stage.
• Chemical Storage Building - The Poudre Fire Authority has
requested that the toxic pool chemicals be removed from the
City Park Center. This facility is used by the public for
other rentals and the danger is too high to continue storing
the chemicals there.
' This increase in budget is due to planning this highly used facility in an
economical, sensible manner to meet today's needs and the needs of the
future."
Councilmember Rutstein made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Stoner, to
adopt Ordinance No. 105, 1986 on First Reading.
Bruce Lockhart, 2500 East Harmony Road, questioned whether the additional
costs were necessary for this project.
General Services Director Tom Frazier explained that the increases were due
to requirements of the Health Department and the need for an area for
staff.
Councilmember Horak commented on the long-standing need for major
renovation at the outdoor pool and stated he strongly supported the
ordinance.

Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"Executive Summary
The City Engineering staff and a committee representing the private sector

pavement, a requirement for full -depth asphalt or portland cement concrete '
on arterial streets, more on -site soils testing, more materials testing at

by Motor Vehicle. Adopted on Second Reading
Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"This Ordinance was adopted as amended 6-0 on First Reading on July 1 and ,
would add Chapter 58 to the Code of the City of Fort Collins, "Hazardous
and Radioactive Materials Transportation." The regulations contained in the
chapter are intended to reduce the possibility of a hazardous or a
-443-
July 15, 1986
' radioactive materials incident occurring in the City by limiting the
transportation of such materials by motor vehicle to pick-ups or deliveries
within the City with few exceptions. The Ordinance adopts various sections
of the Code of Federal Regulations and also contains provisions for the
safe operation of such vehicles in the City. To minimize the impact on
commerce, the Ordinance allows for granting exemptions for transporters who
have no practicable alternative, as well as some farm machinery and some
vehicles transporting gasoline or diesel fuel. Exempt transporters would,
however, be required to adhere to other provisions of the Ordinance. The
Ordinance has been amended since First Reading to add a provision to allow
such transportation within the City on a route designated by the Chief of
Police and to allow the Chief of Police or his designee to make decisions
regarding blanket exemptions or suspension of operations due to weather or
other hazardous conditions."

Liza Daly, 400 South Grant, thanked Council for taking a strong stand on
this issue and commended their leadership in dealing with the issue.
Councilmember Estrada stated he would be in favor of tabling the ordinance
to delineate Table I and Table II hazardous materials commodities.
Mayor Ohlson indicated he 'would not•: support a motion to table the
ordinance, noting the ordinance'would not'take effect until October 1 and
would therefore allow Council adequate •time to pursue Councilmember

Resolution 86-123 Providing an Accelerated
Early Retirement Option for
Eligible Employees. Adopted as Amended
Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"Executive Summary
This resolution is presented as part of the budget reduction strategies.
It creates a positive way to accelerate attrition and decrease our
personnel. The program provides a severance pay amount based on years of
service and current monthly salary and the choice of an increased monthly
retirement benefit check for the rest of the retiree's life, or medical
insurance coverage until age 65. These increased benefits will only be
available until August 30, 1986.
Background
The City is in a budget cutback position. The most significant cost
savings would result from reducing the workforce. There are 44 employees
who are currently eligible for retirement. They are over age 55 and have
vesting in the City's retirement program.
Although we don't know at this time how many employees will take advantage
of this plan, we are projecting savings of $336,732 city-wide based on the
experience private industry has had with similar programs. These savings
do not include Police and Fire. Upon approval of the resolution, a similar
plan will be developed for these groups. A different plan will be needed
because they are in different retirement systems."
City Manager Burkett summarized the Early Retirement Option being proposed.
Director of Employee Development Mike Powers reviewed the proposed program
and answered questions from Council about specifics of the program.
Councilmember Estrada made a motion, seconded by Councilmember liebler, to

Councilmember Stoner made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Rutstein, to
amend Resolution 86-123 to the effect that a savings of at least $150,000
to the General Fund be realized before the City Manager authorizes the
program to continue, with anything less that $150,000 being reviewed by the

Resolution.
Councilmember Horak indicated he felt there was not enough comparative
information on savings to justify the early retirement program.
Councilmember Estrada stated he had confidence in staff to work out a plan
that will save the City money.

The General Employees Pension Plan is a defined"benefit retirement plan. '
While the employee works for the City, money is paid into this system.
When the employee retires, the retiree begins drawing a monthly check until
death. The amount of money contributed'may or may not equal the amount
Mli►A
July 15, 1986
paid out. Defined benefit
plans
are like Social Security. Ours, like
Social Security, has an
unfunded
liability because actuarial studies
project the money owed to employees
at retirement will be greater than the
money that will actually be
in the
fund when these employees retire. The
City has been contributing
$227,000 per year to pay off this unfunded
liability.
The ICMA Pension Plan is a defined contribution retirement system. This
means that money is paid into an account in the employee's name. When the
employee retires the amount of money in the fund is paid out. The pay out
cannot exceed the amount of money contributed. This money can also be
taken out when she/he quits the City.
There are eight Department Heads who have opted to have their retirement
contribution go to the ICMA account. They are also a liability to the
General Pension Plan due to previous contributions and vesting in the plan.
This resolution will transfer $94,005.35 into the ICMA accounts of these
eight Department Heads based on the contributions previously made to the
General Pension Plan. This will eliminate their liability to the plan.
Additionally, there are other former staff members who have vested benefits
under both the ICMA and General Employees Pension Plan. We are researching
the impact of transferring their contributions to the ICMA plan also.
' By making this transfer, the unfunded liability will be paid off in
December 1985 rather than December 1987, and the operating costs can be
reduced from 4.385% to 3.553% while maintaining the same benefit to the
employee. This will produce a net savings to the City of $33,648 in 1986
and $336,568 in 1987 and $109,568 in each succeeding year.
This proposed transfer of monies from one type of pension fund to another
does not deprive the employee of any vested rights since it is to be done
with the employee's consent. Neither does it violate provisions of the
City Charter, since it merely authorizes a transfer within a single budget
category (and even transfers from one budget category to another are
permitted by the Charter)."
Director of Employee Development Mike Powers explained the current
financial position of the General Employees Pension Fund, how the Fund
operates, and how the proposed changes will benefit the Fund.

Resolution 86-119 Declaring the Intent to I
Withdraw Police Personnel from the Fire
and Police Pension Association (FPPA), Adopted
Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"Executive Summary
Fire and Police Department personnel hired on or after April 8, 1978, are
required to belong to the State Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA)
for their retirement benefits unless a money purchase plan is in place. In
order for the members to withdraw from the Association and establish a
money purchase plan, one of the first steps which must be taken is the
adoption of a resolution by the City Council stating the intent to withdraw
from the FPPA. The adoption of this resolution meets the FPPA regulations
for filing intent to withdraw and keeps the City's options open with regard
to establishing a money purchase plan for such police personnel.
Background
Fire and Police Pension Association
Fire and Police department personnel hired on or after April 8, 1978, are
required to belong to the state Fire and Police Pension Association (FPPA)
for their retirement benefits unless a money purchase plan is in place. '
The FPPA system is a defined benefit plan. When you retire, you receive a
benefit for life based on age, years of service and average salary. The
amount contributed may or may not equal the benefits paid out. The money
purchase plan is a defined contribution plan. The amount paid into the
plan plus earnings is the benefit that can be paid.
Section 31-30-1003(2)(b)(I), C.R.S., provides that members may withdraw
from the FPPA upon establishment of a money purchase plan.
In order for the members to withdraw from the association, the following
steps must be taken:
Adoption of a resolution' by ther:City Council stating the
intent to withdraw from the FPPA:,.
The members must hold an election at which sixty-five percent
of the members must approve the withdrawal and the
alternative pension plan.
The resolution must be filed with the FPPA' no later than
December 31, 1986 to be effective January 1, 1988. This year
will give the members time to investigate various Money
Purchase Plans. '
-449-
July 15, 1986
Advantages of a Money Purchase Plan
There are several advantages of a money purchase plan:
Employees have more say in the investment of their retirement
dollars.
No unfunded liabilities exist in a money purchase plan.
FPPA was created legislatively to assist financially troubled
plans in larger Colorado Cities. Fort Collins' pensions
which covers Police and Fire personnel hired prior to April
8, 1978 were sound. Thus the monies contributed by both the
City and employees hired on or after April 8, 1978, are being
placed in a retirement fund that is less sound than a money
purchase plan. The contribution of the City of Fort Collins
and those of these employees are being used in part to pay
off the unfunded liabilities of other Cities.
4. FPPA has the ability to change the benefits and the
contribution rate for both the City and the employee.
Because of the unfunded liability in this system, one or both
are likely to change.
5. The Police Department sometimes has employees who would like
to make a career change but if they leave the Police force
they lose their retirement benefit. With a money purchase
plan, they can make this change and retain the benefit.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of the attached resolution providing the Police
Department with the opportunity to withdraw from the FPPA and research a
money purchase plan for affected Police personnel. The adoption of this
resolution meets the FPPA regulations for filing intent to withdraw. If
the City or the affected employees decide, following the investigation of
the money purchase option, that FPPA is the better system, they can stay in
that system even with the passage of this resolution. This resolution will
keep the options open."

Items Relating to the
Fort Collins -Lovel°and Airport Authority
S
Following is staff's memorandum on ifis item::
"Executive Summary
' A. Resolution 86-125 Authorizing
Intergovernmental Agreement with the
Collins -Loveland Airport Authority.
the Mayor to . Enter Into an
City of Loveland- and the Fort
-452-
July 15, 1986
B. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 110, 1986, Amending Chapter '
2 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Regarding the Airport
Authority.
Staff recommends certain changes to better protect the commissioners and
employees of the Airport Authority from civil liability. These changes
would insure that any such liability would become the responsibility of the
Cities of Fort Collins and Loveland.
Background
On June 11, 1986, the commissioners of the Fort Collins -Loveland Airport
Authority adopted a resolution requesting that the City Councils of Fort
Collins and Loveland "take action to protect the commissioners in lieu of
insurance or to take other action to allow the Airport Authority to be able
to obtain sufficient insurance coverage as the Authority deems necessary."
The nature of the liability problem is this: the Airport Authority has
been unable to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance
coverage, although general liability insurance and property damage
insurance have been obtained. Such directors' and officers' liability
insurance coverage would provide insurance coverage for errors and
omissions of the commissioners and employees of the Airport Authority.
Absent this insurance, employees of the Authority are somewhat at risk. ,
Judgments against an employee are generally recoverable from the employer,
so long as the employee's actions are not willful and wanton and are within
the scope of employment. With regard to satisfying such judgments,
however, only the two cities have the ability to levy an ad valorem tax in
order to pay judgments for which they don't have sufficient funds on hand.
The Airport Authority does not have such taxing ability, and it is possible
that the commissioners or employees would have nowhere to turn for
reimbursement.
Staff's recommendation to address the Authority's liability concerns is to
amend the ordinances of the respective cities which created the Airport
Authority to clearly make the commissioners "public employees" of their
respective cities, for purposes of obligating the cities to pay judgments
which might be entered against them as explained above. In addition, staff
recommends passage of a resolution authorizing an intergovernmental
agreement with Loveland& and. the Airport Authority which will provide for
payment by the two cities of'costs of defense and judgments entered against
its commissioners and employei4s",`>to the extent permitted by law."

Resolution 86-126 Endorsing Larimer County's
Intent to Issue Multi -Family Revenue Bonds
for the Robinson Piersal Project Adopted
Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
"Executive Summary
On June 5, 1986 the Larimer County Commissioners passed Resolution 86-70,
setting forth the intention of the county to issue multi -family housing
revenue bonds for Wheeler Management Group. The project for which the
bonds are to be issued is the Robinson Piersal project consisting of
approximately 67 apartment units for the elderly to be constructed on the
northeast corner of Mulberry Street and College Avenue in Fort Collins.
There is also a retail and office phase of the project, but no bond monies
will be used for this phase.
' Following passage of the resolution, the City Manager received a request
from the County's Finance Director, Bob Grewell, that the City work with
the applicant and give their application the same review, analysis and
consideration that we would have done if the City were the issuer. The
County Commissioners also requested that the City Council officially act on
the application and provide a resolution indicating whether or not the
County should give favorable consideration to the applicants request for
final approval and in what amount. This resolution would provide the
County Commissioners with the information which they have requested.
Background
According to past City and County policy, projects within the City limits
which are to be financed through a tax exempt financing mechanism, such as
Multi -Family Revenue Bonds, are to go through the City for the issuance of
bonds. Under normal circumstances the Robinson Piersal project's
Multi -Family Revenue Bonds would have been issued through the City.
However, due to timing and state allocation availability the normal
process could not occur.
On May 8, 1986, the Colorado Legislature passed Senate Bill No. 160
altering the existing legislation with regard to "Private Activity Bonds",
(Multi -Family Revenue Bonds, Industrial Development Revenue Bonds and so
forth). Under the new legislation all cities in Colorado received an
initial allocation from which they could
issue Private
Activity Bonds
of
'
$71 per capita. Fort Collins received an
allocation of
$ 5,021,191.
The
allocation was available to Fort Collins
until May 31,
at which time
the
-454-
July 15, 1986
allocation reverted to the County for
seven days. Any
remaining allocation
'
reverted to the State pool on June
8. Once into
the State pool, any
requests for Private Activity Bonds
compete with all
other requests on a
first -come -first -served basis, as of
July 8 there were
no funds available
in the Statewide Balance and there were $30,000,000 in
projects waiting for
an allocation.
In addition to changes in the timing on allocation availability, Senate
Bill No. 160 included in the Private Activity Bond cap certain classes of
tax exempt bonds which had not previously been subject to the cap. The end
result is a much lower amount of funds available - in 1985 the State issued
over $2 billion in tax exempt bonds which would come under the current cap.
Allocations available for these uses in 1986 total approximately $530
million.
The applicant, John Wheeler, was not able to get the required documents to
City staff in time to meet the May 31 cut-off. At that point the option
remained to either go through the County for an inducement on the bonds
during the one week period when the County had the balance of the City's
allocation, or to wait and go through the City to request an allocation
from the Statewide balance. Due to the scarcity of funds in the Statewide
balance, the applicant requested that the City permit the request to go
through the County. Staff approved the request and the County favorably
considered the inducement resolution for the issuance of Multi -Family
Revenue Bonds in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000.
Following the passage of the inducement resolution, Larimer County Finance
'
Director, Bob Grewell, on behalf of the County Commissioners, asked the
City to complete its review of the project as if the bonds were to be
issued by the City and pass a resolution endorsing the County's intent to
induce the bonds. It was also requested that the City Council recommend
the amount of bonds which should be induced.
Pursuant to City of Fort Collins Resolution 84-179, there are five
requirements which must be met before the City would consider issuing bonds
on a multi -family housing project. These are the requirements which would
be applicable to an issue that is not being done by the City. All other
requirements are specific to a Fort Collins issue.
1. 20% of the units in the project must be rented to families at or
below 70% of the existing median income of the community as established by
HUD. As of July 7, the median income for a family of four in this area is
$28,400. Using this as a base, the 70% of median income requirement is as
follows:
Family
Median
70% of
Size
Income
Median
1
$19,880
$13,916

28,400
19,880
,
5
30,175
21,122
-455-
July 15, 1986
The applicant has agreed to reserve at least 30% of the units (20 units)
for elderly individuals whowould meet these income requirements.
2. Base rents for the 20% restricted units will be set at 30% of 70%
of median income. This would place monthly the rents at the following
levels:
Family
70% of
Maximum
Size
Median
Rent

19,880

5
21,122
528
The above rents reflect the requirements set forth in Resolution 84-179 for
moderate to low-income housing. The restricted units in this project will
be further reduced pursuant to Housing Authority requirements for
low-income housing. (See attached memo from David Herrera.)
3. The project must have received final approval by the Planning and
Zoning Board. The project has received Planning and Zoning Board approval,
(see attached memo from Tom Peterson, Planning Director).
' 4. The amenities in the restricted units will be the same as those
provided in the non -restricted units. The applicant has agreed to this
stipulation.
5. All other federal and state requirements for multi -family revenue
bonds must be met. Bond Counsel has been employed by the applicant to
assure that this requirement is met.
In addition to these requirements, staff typically does an analysis of the
financial feasibility of the project. This has been done, and staff
recommends that the project can support the financing requested (an amount
not to exceed $2,100,000). An independent financial feasibility study has
been completed by Anderson & Whitney, PC, CPAs. The study was requested by
the County and is attached.
The housing portion of the project is being designed in conjunction with
the Fort Collins Housing Authority. Upon completion, the project will be
leased to and managed by the Authority. A letter from David Herrera,
Director of the Fort Collins Housing Authority, is attached explaining the
arrangements between the applicant and the Authority.
Finally, the project is located within the boundaries of the Downtown
Development Authority. The project has been endorsed by the DDA, as
discussed at the Council's July 8 worksession. A letter from Robert
' Steiner, Executive Director of the DDA is attached.
-456-
July 15, 1986
Given the support for the project by the Housing Authority
and the
Downtown
Development Authority, the need for this type
of project,
and the
satisfaction of requirements normally placed by the
City for this
type of
financing, staff recommends that City Council
endorse the
County's
intention to issue Multi -Family Revenue Bonds for
the Robinson-Piersal
project."
