Resolution adopted approving an agreement
with the State Board of Agriculture relating
to the furnishing of water and sanitary sewer
service to Colorado State University
City Manager Brunton spoke at length to the memorandum included with the
agenda, included below:
We have been negotiating for some time with representatives of CSU on a new
agreement for providing them with water and sanitary sewer service. Enclosed
is a copy of the resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the
agreement, a copy of which is also enclosed. We have also been working on
several letters of understanding concerning the method and application of these
fees.
' There is no question about the second phase of the sanitary sewer rate increase
which charges CSU 43C per thousand gallons of water delivered. Since the
University does not receive City water at the Agricultural Campus, we had to
arrive at a negotiated amount of usage. The 102.5-thousand gallon figure is
based on six residential units' equivalent times 150%. (This is covered in one
of our letters of understanding.) It is also understood that, if CSU improves .
its infiltration problem, the entire charge for sewer service will be renegotiated.
223
2 4" _
There is some difference of opinion regarding the new water rates. Initially ,
the Water Board recommended to the Council that there be an average water rate
increase of 60% effective October 1, 1973. After additional checking and
evaluation, the staff recommended to the Council that an average increase of
30% be applied on approximately January 1, 1974, and an additional 25% effective
approximately January 1, 1975. The first water rate increase was to include the
cost -of -service adjustment and the second to be a flat across-the-board increase.
The proposed water rate increase was figured on the basic "cost -of -service" con-
cept and an alternate policy method using a reserve raw water concept. Both of
these increases are in line with our previous estimated average increases, namely
37.1% in the former and 25.3% in the latter.
The City Council subsequently adopted the alternate or reserve raw water concept.
CSU then anticipated that the increase would, therefore, be the 25.3% (from 22C
per 1,000 gallons to 27.5c per 1,000 gallons). Our engineers, Black and Veatch,
recomputed CSU's fair share of cost of service and arrived at a 45.2% increase
(31.9c per 1,000 gallons). This is the only item we have not yet agreed upon.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Council first determine
if CSU should pay the increased water price from 22c/1,000 gallons to 27.5c/1,000
gallons or to 31.9c/I,000 gallons or some figure in between. After approving this
figure, we recommend that the Council adopt the aforementioned resolution authorizing
the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement: (We anticipate that the agreement
will beapprovedby the State Board of Agriculture at their May meeting.)
'_'r. D6n Rhody spoke to the recommendation of the Water Board considered at the ,
December 21, 1973 meeting.
Council discussed at great length the above percentages of increase.
Dr. Don Rhody stated the 45.2% increase was 31.9� per 1,000 gallons, the 25.3%
increase was 27.5¢ per 1,000 gallons, the difference between that 40.4% or the
29.*7¢ per 1 ' 000gallons. Therefore, if Council agreed with this figure, he
would support that with the governing Board.
Mr. Jan Scarboro, representing the Associated Contractors of Northern Colorado,
spoke to the competition CSU gives private developers in the housing market
and their desire to have the University pay tap fees for each living unit;
that any development off the campus furnish raw water and that they pay the
same rates for water and sewer as any other individual in the City.
City Attorney March stated the City had the right to require whatever reason-
able conditions became necessary.
Councilwoman Reeves expressed her concern that under the 111ternate Cost of
Service that the single family home would be paying 15% less and made up
by other groups.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by CounciL!oman Reeves, that '
Council determine that CSU should pay the 37.1% or 30.16¢ per thousand gallons.

6. Aerial map of the area.
Director of Community Development, Roy A. Bingman, identified the area,
spoke to the development of Oak Street and the following portion of his
memorandum:
The origins of this problem are easy to understand when you look at a
zoning map of the area. The apartment area is zoned RINI - Medium Density Residential,
and has well over 300 living units. The area zoned Rid is surrounded by area
zoned RL - Low Density Residential. The south portion of Briarwood has single
family living units.. This is an example of very different types of living
conditions side by side, and the types of problems which may result.
. Some consideration has already been given to closing the street by the
City Council. Some of the factors which should be considered in such a move are
the following:
1. what precedent will we set
2. what effect on traffic circulation in the general area will result
5, will there be a problem as to future traffic control
4, what about police protection
S. fire protection
6. what is the cost and who will pay
7, what do all persons residing in the area think
The Staff recommendation also contained a proviso that if Council chose to
close the'street that one side of the street be renamed.
Councilwoman Gray inquired who would pay for the street closing?
City Manager Brunton stated it was the Administration's recommendation that
the City bear the cost. Councilman Wilkinson stated he would like to see

' Implementation of Seven Year Capital

To expedite this p program we suggest the Council authorize a fairly large committee -

Director, the Parks and Recreation Director, the Electrical Utility Director,
the Assistant City Manager, and the City Manager. This committee would be
responsible for naming one architect for each project.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the Council authorize the
formation of the aforementioned architectural review committee. The committee .
should present to the Council a recommendation of one 4rchitectural firm for
each project. Hopefully, these recommendations can be presented to the Council
at their meeting of May 2, 1974.

' report to Council so that Council can make the selection of architects. Council-
man Wilkinson concurred in the suggestion.
