memberships is to provide a trained source of individuals for perma-
nent appointments to Boards and Commissions when vacancies occur.

voting when serving in the absence of a regular member. This for-
malizes the present policy of allowing alternates to vote under these
circumstances.

has increased by $15,000 to $60,828. In order to complete the project
as originally planned, a transfer from Seven Year Capital to the
Capital Projects Fund needs to be completed so that the total project
is budgeted in one place.

Obligation Bonds issued to finance community park projects.
This Resolution authorizes issuance of $3,000,000 to finance construc-
tion through 1982. The debt service in 1982 is estimated to be $350,
000 which is the equivalent of .1.4 mils of Ad Valorem Property Tax.

thern Colorado Water Conservancy District for 3 Acre -Feet of CBT
Water.

THE MOTION CARRIED.
Contract Approved with Transplan
Associates for the Mason/Howes
One -Way Couplet Design
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item: '
"The award of a Professional Services contract in excess of $20,000 re-
quires approval by Council under the CPM/CS guidelines. This contract is
required to initiate the final design of the Mason/Howes One -Way Couplet
project which Council directed City staff to proceed with on September 2,
1980, Resolution 80-108.
The consultant selection process for the Mason/Howes One -Way Couplet has
been completed. Proposals for the design and construction management for
this project were received from four firms. Three firms --Centennial
Engineering; Leigh, Scott, Cleary; and Transplan Associates --were inter-
viewed. The selection committee determined that Transplan of Boulder,
Colorado, was the most qualified for the overall project. They were
selected for the design and the construction management phases of this
project.
Staff recommends approval of this contract. The $28,000 is included in the
Department of Public Works 1981 Capital Budget to cover the design of this
project. However, construction costs of approximately S250,000 for imple-
mentation of the one-way couplet are not part of the 3-year Bonded Capital
Improvement Projects and must be funded from other sources. This project
will improve the traffic patterns and increase our existing street capa-
cities in the downtown area.
Based on National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, benefits to '
the City would be through an estimated 20% decrease in traffic accidents on
265
both College Avenue and Mason/Howes couplet. A reduction of three acci-
dents per month with an estimated cost of $775 per accident amounts
to an annual savings of $27,900 a year.
The implementation of the one-way couplet is estimated to save 7% in fuel
consumption through increased travel speeds and improved signal system
computer coordination of traffic flow on these streets. A 7% decrease in
fuel consumption in this corridor would amount to 98 gallons per weekday
usage. Using $1.35 a gallon for gasoline, the resulting yearly fuel
savings would amount to $33,075. The decrease in accidents and fuel
consumption credited to this project would amount to a yearly savings of
$60,975."
Councilmember Cassell questioned whether it was appropriate to spend
$28,000 at this time without knowing what the funding sources will be.
City Manager, John Arnold, replied that the question of the one-way couplet
had been debated for at least 3 1/2 years and that the design was necessary
to determine if the City wanted to go further with the project.
Mayor Wilmarth noted he was not certain that in terms of dollars spent for
capital projects, that this project was high enough on the priority list to
' justify spending the money at this time.
Councilmember Elliott made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Reeves,
to approve this contract with Transplan. Yeas: Councilmembers Elliott,
Knezovich, Kross, and Reeves. Nays: Cassell and Wilmarth.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Adopted as Amended on Second Reading
Relating to the Creation and Organization
of the South Mason Street and Utility
Improvement District No. 75
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"This Ordinance was adopted unanimously (4-0) on First Reading on June
16.
The improvement district consists of the construction of the storm sewer,
water and sanitary sewer lines, street, curb, gutter and sidewalk for South
Mason Street from Creger Drive south to Boardwalk Drive. The four property
owners previously petitioned City Council for the improvement district and
resolution 81-41 was adopted March 17, 1981 initiating the district and
' directing the Director of Public Works to proceed with the final design.
Council's approval of the final design report will allow construction to
begin.
�..
There has, however, been one amendment to the attached Ordinance since its
passage on First Reading June 16, 1981. The parenthetical phrase contained
within Section 3 of the attached Ordinance includes the clause "... and
excepting interest during construction not to exceed 15%)" This clause
had been omitted in the Ordinance which was adopted on first reading. The
omission of this clause would result in inconsistencies with earlier
recitals in the Ordinance. Therefore, the City Council should amend the
parenthetical phrase contained within Section 3 of the original Ordinance
to read as follows:
"(in the estimated amount of Eighty Thousand Four Hundred and Nine Dollars,
and not to exceed Twenty -Seven percent of the actual construction or
acquisition cost, and excepting interest during construction not to exceed
15%)"
Councilmember Cassell asked that the record show he did not vote or parti-
cipate in the discussion of this item because of a possible conflict of
interest.
Councilmember Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilman Elliott,
to adopt Ordinance No. 86, 1981, as amended on Second Reading. Yeas: I
Councilmembers Elliott, Knezovich, Kross, Reeves, and Wilmarth. Nays:
None. (Cassell withdrawn).

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Authorizing the City Manager to Enter
into an Agreement for the Lease/Purchase
of Vehicles and Equipment
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"The adopted 1981 Budget includes approximately $200,000 to finance the
lease/purchase of approximately $800,000 of equipment needs. Lease/
Purchase financing was recommended by staff during Council budget work
sessions as an alternative to the City's past method of providing for
equipment needs. Staff continues to recommend lease/purchase as a viable
alternative.
The City solicited lease/purchasing financing proposals from approximately
30 firms. After an evaluation of the interest rates submitted, Merit
Financial Corporation offered the most competitive rate of 10.179%.
The City proposes in this Ordinance to lease/purchase: I

' The terms of the agreement with Merit Financial Corporation provide for
quarterly payments at a fixed interest rate of 10.179Y."
Councilmember Knezovich asked for a review of the proposal that was de-
feated on the April ballot.
City Attorney Liley stated that the proposal would have authorized the
City, as a home rule city, to enter into any kind of a lease/purchase
agreement whether it involved equipment or real property. The reason was
to clarify a potential legal problem if a pending Supreme Court case turned
out negatively in terms of a city's ability to lease/purchase. A home rule
city could by Charter establish provisions such as the one that was drafted
and continue to use the lease/purchase technique.
Councilmember Cassell made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Reeves,
to adopt Ordinance No. 92, 1981, on First Reading. Yeas: Councilmembers
Cassell, Elliott, Knezovich, Kross, Reeves, and Wilmarth. Nays: None.

Revised Contractor Licensing Ordinance
and Resolution Approving By-laws for
Building Contractor Licensing Board, Adopted
' Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"A. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 93, 1981, Relating to
Building Contractor Licensing.
B. Resolution Approving By-laws and Rules of Procedure of the Building
Contractor Licensing Board.
At the June 9, 1981 Council Work Session, this item was presented for
discussion with a summary of pertinent background data.
During the drafting process, some alternatives considered were:
A) Not changing the existing ordinance.
B) Elimination of contractor licensing altogether.
C) Requiring surety bonds in lieu of or in conjunction with licenses.(see
memorandum from the City Attorney)
This process spelled out the need for a more flexible, enforceable, and
equitable licensing structure. Based on numerous meetings with the
contractor community, a draft ordinance was prepared and subsequently
endorsed by the Licensing Board on May 14, 1981.
On the basis of Council direction given at the June 9, 1981 work session,
job superintendent certification was included in this recommended Ordi-
nance. That addition was reviewed and approved by the Licensing Board.

Councilmember Cassell stated that he still had a problem with Section C
which entitles the Chief Building Official to close down a project for 15
days. He added that persons who contacted him felt the Chief Building
Official presently has a great deal of power and that this section is too
subjective.
Mayor Wilmarth asked if there was a recommendation as to how the public
could be warned that the City does not require any kind of bonding and that
the fact that a contractor has a license does not mean he is financially
responsible.
City Manager, John Arnold, replied that there was no effective way the
public could be warned but that staff was aware of the problem.
City Attorney Liley noted that the concern of the Contractor Licensing
' Board was that the contractor have enough money to carry on a business, not
that he necessarily can pay any damages if a job is not performed properly.

Resolution Authorizing the City Manager
to Enter into a Contract Concerning Excavation
Work at the Michigan Ditch, Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Purchasing ordinances provide that the formal bid procedure need not be
followed when special circumstances, as set forth in Section 2-60 of the
Code of the City of Fort Collins, exist. In this case, the excavation '
services under consideration are not readily available without increased
cost, therefore, the formal bid process need not be followed. However,
Council approval is required for a service contract greater than $20,000.
We have pipe purchased, and construction plans made to install 8000 ft. of
pipe on the Agnes Creek Extension of the Michigan Ditch. Past experience
has shown us that the most cost effective way to do this type of work in
this very difficult location is by using City forces and contracting on an
hourly basis for special equipment requirements. The installation of this
pipe requires a dozer with ripper that is larger than any the City owns.
Several times in the past we have contracted for dozer work on the ditch
and one operator has proven that he is far more productive than all the
rest, including those hired by contractors working in that area.
The operator is presently working for McCoy Construction Co. of Greeley,
Colorado. They have given us a quote of $75/hour which is very much in
line with the other quotes we have received for dozer/operator combina-
tions. They also have an identical tractor available as a backup in the
event that the first one breaks down. That is a definite advantage. In
past years, we have lost a lot of valuable time during the already too
short construction season.
In an effort to save money by cutting down on contractor move in costs, we
have deferred this dozer work for the past 2 years and made ready this long '
section of ditch for the contracted dozer work. That ,is why it appears
to be such a large amount.
271
' We hope to start laying pipe as soon as possible and will try to have this
portion complete by the time winter sets in. We are requesting a blanket
order for $50,000 worth of dozer work but that is somewhat optimistic
that we will be able to work late into the fall.
The advantages to proceeding this way rather than by formal contract
are:
1. We pay for only the actual hours worked.
2. The pace of work is directly controlled by the City.
3. It eliminates the possiblity of contract extras for rock work,
weather delays, strikes, etc."

to approve the Resolution. Yeas:Councilmembers Cassell, Elliott,
Knezovich, Kross, Reeves, and Wilmarth. Nays: None.
