Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Being -A
Rate Increase for Electricity
At its January 13, 1976, work session the City Council reviewed the City's
report on the proposed electrical rate increases. The major cause of the
increase is due to the increased cost of the energy purchased, The recom-
mended rate increase averages 13.7% and ranges from 7.5% to 16.6% dependirij�.
upon the class of customer.
Councilwoman Reeves stated she would like to see the Electric Utility flatten
out the rates and move towards three classifications the next year and to
consider including in the billing cycle the number of kilowatt hours they were
using the year before as opposed to this year on a per month basis.

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Increasing
Water Turn -On and Turn -Off Charges
At its ,January 13, 1976, work session the Fort Collins City Council discussol
a recommendation from the administration to increase the water turn -on and
turn-off service charge. At the present time, the service charge is so low
that we recover less than 30% in the cost of providing this service.
Ordinance No. 5 provides that there will be a charge of $7.50 for turning
the water off and once turned off, a charge of $7.50 to turn the service on
again.
Councilwoman Reeves inquired if repair to the water system was necessary
would the charge apply.
Director of Water and Sewer Utilities Roger Krempel and City Manager Brunton
stated this point would be reviewed between first and second reading and
report back. Councilman Suinn stated that in this as well as the previous
ordinance he would like to point out that increases are based on attempts
to recover costs rather than a ramdom process and that rate increases are a
last resort.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to adopt
Ordinance No. 5, 1976, on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray,
Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Resolution Adopted Approving an Application Report
and Authorizing the Filing of an Application for a
Loan for the Joe Wright Reservoir
At the present time, the City of Fort Collins is working on the design of
the Joe Wright Reservoir. The estimated project cost is $7,794,000. We
have been negotiating.for some time with the U. S. Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, for a federal loan under the Small Reclama-
tion Projects Act as amended. The supporting loan application report has
been prepared and the requested loan is for $7,127,000. On the surface,
the interest on the recommended loan is somewhat lower than a similar.commer-
cial loan. However, when we includethe interest -free part of a loan in
connection with the temporary or semi -permanent lease of water for agricul-
tural purposes, the net interest of the City is extremely low especially
in the early years. In connection with this loan application, it is neccessary
to pay a $1,000 filing fee.
Director of Water and Sewer Utilities Roger Krempel addressed the safety
considerations of the proposed spill way and expressed his appreciation of the
efforts made toward putting the application together expended re Charles the .
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to.adopt
the resolution and authorize the City Manager to make application to the U. S.

this is an arterial street benefiting the entire community.

Changes in Cemetery Fees and Charges Approved
At its January 13, 1976, work session the City Council discussed minor changes
and revisions in the cemetery fee and charge system including a new monument
fee schedule..
The monument fee schedule would not increase the Citv's revenue, but would
make it easier and faster for the Administration and the monument dealers
to calculate the cost. The other recommended changes are to lower the disin-
terment fee for adults from $350 to $250 and to lower the children's disin-
terment fee from $200 to $125. In order to have more pre -need lot sales, it
was also recommended that the period allowed to purchase a cemtery lot on a
contract basis be increased from 6 to 24 months. This would require a 10%
down payment with the remainder to be paid in no more than 24 payments with-
out interest.
This payment system would result in some increased administrative costs.
Also, it has been suggested that we sell these lots on a pre -need basis
at a lower rate. This is a fairly common practice. We recommend that the
fee not be lowered, but that no interest be charged, which would compensate
for the purchase price.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council approve
t ei1 revisions to the cemetery fees and charges; namely, (1) the new monument
fee schedule, (2) the lowering of the disinterment fee for adults and
children, and (3) the extended arrangement for the pre -need purchase of
cemetery lots.
Councilman Wilkinson made'a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to adopt
the new fees and charges to be effective January 21, 1976. Yeas: Council -

Minor Changes in the Pay ;Plan Approved
' Late in 1975 the City Council adopted the 1976 Pay Plan. At that time, it
was indicated that some minor revisions and possible changes had not been
resolved. These included the question of disparity and longevity payin
the Fire Department and the status of exemption from overtime for lieutenants
in the Police Department.
In discussions with the Fire Department representatives, it was decided to
reconvend a $1 per year of service increase in the longevity pay plan in
lieu of eliminating the longevity system fora 3% increase. The question
of parity or a decrease in disparity between fire fighters and police
officers will again be discussed during our negotiations on the 1977 salaries.
The cost of this additional longevity benefit will be $4,391 in 1976.
At the present time sergeants and the people in the Police Department receive
authorized overtime pay. With the approved Pay Plan without overtime benefits,
there would not be a large enough differential between sergeants with over-
time pay and lieutenants without overtime pay. We feel it is important that
we exempt from overtime pay benefits all top administrative personnel. It
was, therefore, mutually agreed that we recommend an additional 3; increase
in the police lieutenants' pay. This would mean that the lieutenants' range
would be PD19 with a starting salary of $1,061 and a maximum of $1,421. The
additional cost for this 3% is $2,736 less any possible overtime savings.
Both of these increased costs will come from the Contingency Fund.
31
32:
Recormnendation: The Acbninistration recommends that the City Council authorize
tT�e $1 a mo�i increase in longovity pay for personnel in the Fire Department
and also increase the police lieutenants' salary by 3%. The $7,127 additional
cost should be through a transfer from the Contingency Fund to the Police
and Fire Departments.
Councilwoman Reeves made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to adopt
the recommendation. . Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell,
Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Increase in Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
Annual Investment Charge Approved
A short time ago we received a request from the Fort Collins Area Chamber
of Commerce to increase our annual investment charge from $2,000 to $2,200.
The Chamber of Commerce residents charge has been paid through our electric
utility. It has been maintained at the $2,000 a year rate for the last
several years. Due to the inflation that has taken place in that time a
10% increase is a reasonable requested increase.
Councilman Suinn stated he was glad for the clarification of the investment
charge being a membership fee. Mrs..Gray stated she preferred the payment
to be made in the form of a contract for services.
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to approve '
the membership fee for 1976. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves,
Russell; Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Changes in Housing Rehabilitation Program Approved
At its January 13 work session, the City Council received a progress report
and some recommended changes in procedure from the Neighborhood Improvement
.Association through Jim Woods, Housing Rehabilitation Director. The two
recommended changes increase the grant limitation from $4,000 to $7,500 and
provides for a $3,000 maximum implementation of housing relief. We are still
trying to arrive at a reasonable way to handle substandard housing in the
area. We are planning to hold a meeting as soon as possible with the Building
Board of Appeals to discuss the possibilities of their board acting as an
administrative or variance review board in.some housing cases. It is hoped
that we can bring something definite back to the City Council by February 3,
1976.
Recommendation: The Administration recommends that the City Council authorize;
the gr1� ant limitation increase for.housing rehabilitation work from $4,000 to
$7,500 and authorize an implementation of a housing relief program not to.
exceed $3,000.
Councilman Suinn inquired if the housing relief program is as outlined below:
32
33
Housing Relief Program .
In view of the potentially high percentage of homes that may not qualify for
rehabilitation, one alternative would be to change the policy guidelines to -
allow a portion of the program funds to be used to provide relief to those
homeowners living in extremely substandard housing. Health and safety items
would remain as high priority; however, the funds would be provided with the
realization that the house cannot be transformed into a truly suitable
structure. All other grant requirements such as the payback provision, etc.,
would still be applied.
(lousing Rehabilitation Director Jim Woods stated this is what is being
rr. recommended.
7A
Councilwoman Gray stated that when this item comes back she would like to
consider expansion of the Building Board of Appeals membership. Councilman
Bowling addressed the need for the rehabilitation code.
k::
City Attorney March stated he and Chief Building Inspector Bill Waldo have
discussed the proposed ordinance and had the proposed Denver Rehabilitation
code. When this code is completed, it is hoped that the City of Fort Collins
can adapt to the City's use. In the meantime, it has been suggested that the
variance procedure be used by the Building Board of Appeals with a firm
understanding that when a rehabilitation code is available it will be used.
' Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves to
authorize the grant limitation increases. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling,
Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Second Amendment to the Agreement with the
Humane Society of Larimer County Approved
On December 20, 1973, the City of Fort Collins entered into an agreement with
the Humane Society with Larimer County to provide animal impounding facilities
for the City. The first amendment to this agreement was adonted on February 13,
1975, which increased the fee for this service from $10,000 to $20,000 with-
out any refund privileges and also provided for a change in the method of
paying fees.
We have considered the possibility of the Humane Society providing the entire
animal control services. However, there are several details to work out.
We will continue to discuss this ard other methods of providing good and possi-
bly more economical animal control services. At the present time our animal
control -program is well run and the Humane Society is doing an excellent job
for the City of Fort Collins and the other citizens in the County. The
proposed amendment merely provides for the extension of the present agreement
with amendment through December 31, 1976.
' This item will again be reviewed at budget time.
33
34
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Suinn to approve the '
;nnendnient to the agreement with Larimer County and authorize the City Manager
;ind City Clerk to sign the amendment. Yeas: Councilmembors Bowling, Gray,
Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Final Plan of Spring Court Subdivision Lot 1 P.U.D.
Spring Court Subdivision is located in a 1.3 acre H-B, Highway Business Zone
located on the southwest corner of South College Avenue and Stuart Street.
The property is to be developed as a self-service car wash and a rental,
storage -space building. The problems in connection with the possible future
development of Mason Street were discussed by the Planning and Zoning Board
and the City Council late in 1975.
At its January 5, 1976, meeting the Planning and Zoning Board recommended
approval of this final plan providing the utility and landscape plans are
adhered to.
The Developer has agreed to the above provisions.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling to approve
the final plan of Spring Court Subdivision Lot 1 P.U.D. Yeas: Councilmembers ,
Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Recycle Something Site Plan Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
The Recycle Something group has asked that they be allowed to use part of
the City -owned property known as the City Dump located immediately south
of the Poudre River and East of College Avenue as a recycling site. The
Planning and Zoning Board recommended for approval of this project. The
Cultural Resources Board recommended for denial since they felt its use
was incompatible with the Historical Landmark District as proposed in the
Landmark Ordinance.
The Recycling Something non-profit group has agreed that a one-year renewal
agreement would be acceptable. I do not think we would be doing any major
disservice to the property if we used it on a temporary basis for a useful
and community -wide project such as this in place of the present weed patch.
Councilman Wilkinson addressed the blowing of paper in the area. Planner I
Paul Deibel stated one of the conditions for approval was that the area be
fenced. Mr. Steve Smith and members of his committee spoke to the proposed
operation of the site.

C
City Attorney March advised the Council, that there were two levels of
questions, (1) does Council want to approve this site for the purpose
suggested. In making this determination, Council should be aware that
a previous Council had passed a resolution which designated this area as
a landmark and in that resolution .it was stated that the Council would
go through the Landmark Commission before they made any changes in that
site. The Landmark Commission has reviewed the request and does not
favor the use. The Planning and Zoning Board has approved it. The
second question is if it is approved for use, under what conditions i.e.
the protective measures to be built into the contract for the purpose
of protecting this site and adjoining sites, rental, cancellation
provisions etc.
Councilman Bowling made a motion seconded by Councilman Wilkinson to
approve the use of the site by the Recycle Something Committee and
instruct the City Attorney to draft the contract. Yeas: Councilmembers
Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Russell, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Additional Council guidance offered to be put into the contract is as
follows:
1. The contract will contain a one year term.
2. That the site be restored on vacation.
3. That the contract contain cancellation provisions.
4. That fencing requirement be included.
S. That rent be $1.00 per year.
6. That the committee provide insurance.
7. That the contract be reviewed by the Cultural Resources Board.
Various Deeds and Easements Accepted
(1) Easement Agreement with S $ F Agency, Inc. for a sewer line right of
way for the Alta Vista Sewer project.
Consideration: $6,292.00
(2) Street Dedication from William G. and June D. Myers for a right of
way for a part of Horsetooth Road.
Consideration: None.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to accept
the above listed deeds and easements. Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray,
Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None. (Russell out of room.)

Mayor Russell stated there were two- proclamations; if there was no one to '
receive them they would not be read. The first was International DeMolay
Week, March 14-21, 1976. No one was present to receive the proclamation.
The second proclamation in which '"1'he City of Fort Collins challenges every
city in the United States to achieve the objective of being America's
Votingest City on November 5, 1976," was read by the City Clerk.
Ms. Martha Gaines representing the League of Voters of Fort Collins received
the proclamation.
Citizen Participation
Petitions Objecting to Council's Executive Meeting Policy Received
Mr. Ron Heard, 620 Colorado Street, spoke to the state Sunshine Law, and the
number of votes cost in the City in favor of this issue, and his personal
feeling for the City's current ordinance regarding executive sessions. He
then presented petitions with the following language.
TO: City Council
City of Fort Collins
Fort Collins, Colorado
COMES NOW the undersigned being qualified electors of the City of Fort '
Collins and in accordance with Section 3, Article XVII, of the Charter of the
City of Fort Collins, Colorado do hereby protest against the going, into effect
of Ordinance No. 78, 1975, (an ordinance establishing guidelines for how and
when the City Council can hold executive closed door sessions) and petition
the City Council to suspend and repeal said Ordinance No. 78, 1975 in it's
entirety. A copy of said ordinance is hereto attached, and by reference is
made a part hereof.
IF NOT repealed entirely then we the undersigned qualified electors do
hereby petition the City Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado to
suspend the going into effect of said Ordinance No. 78, 1975 and that the
same shall be submitted to a vote of the qualified electors of the City of
Fort_ Collins, Colo. at the next general City election as provided in Section
1, Article XVII of the Charter of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
NAME ADDRESS DATE REGISTERED
Mr. Heard then read the following letter into the record:

January 20, 1976
M Mr. Mayor, Council Members, and all those in attendance:
CC
We rise here today to ask a reconsideration and rejection
7 of Ordinance #78. It is entirely too broad in concept; and
�= the enactment of said ordinance can only lead to further
friction and confusion in our Choice City Government.
We fully recognize the fact that much thought and
discussion enters into the business of running a city. But
closed meetings is not the answer. Because we the people
' who pay the bills, vote officials in, and out, of office,
are affected by all decisions made by our elected officials.
We also reject a proposed electric rate increase,
particularly when monies are transferred out of the electric
fund. We further believe at this time it is unwise to effect
any utilities rate expansion. Let us go along with our
President's suggestion to hold the line, at least until
our National economy is back on a sound basis.
Our many Senior Citizens would welcome such a program.
The line on their expenses must be held. Why not start now?
Our economy here is above the National average, let us keep
it that way.

Mayor Russell acknowledged receipt of the petitions.
Mr. Herb Brauer, 421 South Howes, spoke to the petitions and the current '
Executive Session Ordinance. Mr. Andy'lviderson, 1421 Skyline Drive spoke
in support of the petitions.
Ordinance Tabled on First Reading Creating
Street Improvement District #71
City Manager Brunton made opening remarks on the reason for the creation of
Improvement Districts. This hearing is being conducted after the notice being
duly published on December 16, 23, 30, 1975.
City Attorney March stated that the streets in the City, if they have not
beEnpaid for by the property owners through the subdivider installing them
and charging them back in the price of the lots, have generally been improved
through the Special District process. Under the ordinances, either the
property owners petition for the improvement, and it goes forward from that
stage, or the City Engineer recommends to the Council in a report that a
particular improvement be put in and a special improvement district be estab-
lished for the purpose of paying for that improvement. The Council has passed
a resolution establishing its intent to consider the formation of this district.
The hearing date has been established, which is this evening to consider the
passage of an ordinance which would implement the district and make it official. '
If the ordinance is passed, the final design drawings would be prepared, the
contract would be let, take the lowest responsible bid for the project, the
work would be done and upon completion, and accepted by the City it would
come back to the Council with an assessing ordinance which would assess the
cost and that is in the area of over -sizing and over -building because some of
the streets are arterial streets.
Mayor Russell requested that City Attorney March outline the provisions for
those unable to pay. Mr. March stated there are provisions in the ordinances
that persons who meet mertain qualifications can apply for a waiver or post
ponement of the assessments for so long as they own the property. Also, the
assessment ordinances intend that the assessment be paid out over a period of
time of ten years, with equal installments, with an interest rate of six
percent (6%) and the right to pay it within 30 days and receive a five per-
cent (5%) discount.
Director of Engineering Services, Roy A. Bingman, snoke to the background of
the district specifically being Taft Hill which was developed partially in
the county, also the need for the improvements being increased traffic, lack
of safety for school children, and poor and unsafe conditions of the existing
pavement.

City Engineer, Don Parsons, spoke to the three phases to be constructed
being Peterson Street, Springfield Drive and Taft Hill Road from LaPorte
' Avenue to Prospect. Mr. Parsons also presented preliminary plans of the
alignments as proposed, and the street lighting proposals.
The City Attorney stated this is a consolidated district and Council may
deal with the three streets individually.

Those speaking were opposed to the district for the following reasons:
1. The Peterson Street.improvement was not petitioned to be done by the City.
2. The Peterson Street Petition is over two years old with four property owners
signing for the improvement of an alley and current owners, seven in number,
on the Peterson Street side are opposed. On the Person Street side there
are four owners who are opposed.
3. The Peterson Street (alley) is not a through street. Further, to make an
entrance to the alley from Prospect one would have to go against traffic
and cross double yellow lines.
4. Peterson Street dead -ends two blocks from the proposed improvement.
S. No access to Peterson Street.
6. Executive assessments - $31.40 per foot.
7. No parking on Taft Hill Road from LaPorte to Prospect.
