tion.

May 1, 1979
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading '
Vacating a Portion of an Utility Ease-
ment on Lot 30, North Shore P.U.D.
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item
"This Ordinance provides for the vacation of portion of the
utility easement on Lot 30, North Shore P.U.D.
The request is the result of the difference between the re-
quirement of a 5' building setback and a 6' public utility

Reeves, to adopt Ordinance No. 53, 1979, on first reading.
Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Kross, Reeves, St. Croix,
Wilkinson and Wilmarth. Nays: None.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Amending the Code and Increasing the Docket
Fees for the filing of an Appeal with '
the Building Board of Appeals
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"Presently, our Code states that a docket fee a person pays
for filing an application to the Building Board of Appeals
for a variance or interpretation is $10. This fee has been
in effect since 1971.
Staff is recommending an increase of the docket fee to $25
if the appeal is to be heard at a regular meeting and $35 if
a special meeting needs to be called. These new rates are re-
presentative of the amount of time generally spent in preparing
for an appeal and just cover our hard costs. We have increased
the fee for special meetings because of the additional costs
associated with special meetings.
Bill Waldo and Staff have detailed the actual costs experienced
lately. They show as follows:
Staff Individual Time Spent Cost
Chief Building Official 2 hours $24.00
Building Inspection Secretary 45 minutes 3.65
-401- '
May 1, 1979
' Permit Coordinator 30 minutes 3.55
Plans Examiner 15 minutes 2.15
Total Hard Cost Per Appeal $33.35
The above costs would apply to special meetings except that
the Secretary spends twice as much time coordinating with the
Board Members to establish a meeting time to assure that there
will at least be a quorum present and coordinating the latter
with available space to conduct the hearing.
As already stated, the above costs are hard costs. Quite
often, individual building inspectors are involved which are
additional costs.
This proposed increase has been presented to the Board, and
they are in full agreement.
Staff recommends approval."
Councilmembers expressed concern for fixing true costs to this
ordinance.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilman Wil-
kinson, to adopt Ordinance No. 54, 1979, on first reading
' with the understanding that this ordinance will be reviewed
and amended to reflect true costs. Yeas: Councilmembers
Bowling, Gray, Kross, Reeves, St. Croix and Wilkinson. Nays:
Councilman Wilmarth.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Ordinance Adopted on First Reading
Authorizing an Agreement with Boettcher
& Co. for the Lease and Option Purchase
Certain Real Property
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"On October 9, 1978, the City Council awarded the bid for the
construction of the equipment repair facility to the Neenan
Company and authorized Staff to obtain additional financing
for the project. At that time, we thought that internal bor-
rowing from our utility funds or revenue bonds were the two
methods most likely to meet our needs. But we committed to
financing the amount above funds available. Ron Wood has in-
vestigated approaches and has found that:
1. Internal borrowing is not a good alternative because
1
-402=
May 1, 1979
there is a significant gap between the interest '
rate that could be paid to finance the project
and the rate of return that could be expected by
the utilities. That is, we can gain more inter-
est by investing utility funds than we would
have to pay.
2. Bond Counsel has indicated that the issuance of
revenue bonds is not a good alternative because
of the source of funds utilized to pay the debt
service. That is, inter -departmental transfer
charges are unusual revenue bond funds.
Staff has further investigated two alternative methods of
financing: (1) a lease purchase agreement and (2) an annually
renewable direct loan. Both methods have been reviewed by
the City Attorney and are appropriate.
The lease purchase proposal was received from Boettcher &
Co. and includes a five-year lease with the option to pur-
chase on any lease payment date by applying 100% of all lease
payments previously made to the purchase price of $367,000.
The lease payments include an annual rate of 7.375% on the
amount financed of $367,000. The option to purchase will be
exercised on or before June 1, 1984.
The annually renewable direct loan proposal was received from '
United Bank of Fort Collins and consists of an annual loan of
$367,000 at an interest rate of 7.5%. The City will have the
option of renewing the loan at the end of each 12-month period.
The loan would have to be formally renewed by Council action
each year, assuming the City exercised the option to renew.
The loan may not be renewed after June 1, 1984."
City Attorney Liley recommended the Ordinance be amended by
adding a section to read as follows:
"Section 7. That title to the property set forth on
Exhibit A be transferred from the City to Boettcher & Company
on the date of execution of the lease agreement and thereinaf-
ter such title shall be transferred as provided in such agree-
ment."
She then responded to Council questions regarding debt retire-
ment, debt service and prepayment penalties and the language
required to qualify for tax exempt interest.
Councilwoman Gray made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Reeves,
to amend the Ordinance by adding Section 7. (as recited above).
Yeas: Councilmembers Bowling, Gray, Kross, Reeves, St. Croix,
Wilkinson and Wilmarth. Nays: None. ,

first read-
ing as amended. Yeas:

ing at this time in order that the Finance Committee can
meet with the External Auditors, and then report back to the
full Council. Councilmembers Bowling, St. Croix and Wilmarth
were excused.
Ordinance Adopted on First
Reading Authorizing a Lease
Agreement for the Acquisition of
Two IBM Copiers
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"For the past several years, the Public Library has been using
two IBM Copier II machines for both in-house and public use:
At the present time, these machines are leased to the City on
a per copy charge which averages $.0184 or $9,200 for 500,000
copies annually.
' Under a proposed Agreement with IBM, the City could purchase
machines at an average reduced price of 46% below new copier
cost. This plan would realize an approximate 10% savin s over
the current rental plan or reduce the per copy cost to F 0165
or $8,250 for 500,000 copies annually. Upon completion of the
three-year purchase contract, an annual service agreement would
be Continued. The per copy cost after the three-year agreement
would be $.0085 per copy or $4,244 for 500,000 copies annually.
It is felt that this three-year lease purchase will reduce copy
cost at the Library for not only the next three years but for
a number of years to come.
Staff recommends approval."
City Manager Arnold reported on a concern expressed by Coun-
cilman Kross that he was concerned about up -dating equipment
as technology allows. The maintenance agreement allows this.
The City Manager also addressed the cost and amortization.
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Reeves, to adopt Ordinance No. 56, 1979, on first reading.
Yeas: Councilmembers Gray, Kross, Reeves and Wilkinson. Nays:

Out -of -City Water Request '
Rejected and then Approved
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"We have received a request to provide water service to six
single-family dwellings on several large parcels of land.
These parcels are 40-65 acres in size located north of Colo-
rado Highway 14 and west of U.S. 287 (west of Ted's place).
This request has been favorably considered by the Planning
and Zoning Board on April 9th and by the Water Board on April
20th subject to the following four conditions:
1. No additional taps will be permitted on the lands
described without the express review and consent
of the Water Board, the Planning and Zoning Board,
and City Council.
2. The Petitioner shall submit full and complete en-
gineering analysis and plans for the water system
subject to approval by City Staff.
3. The water rights in the amount of 0.85 acre feet
per dwelling unit shall be provided to the City by '
the Petitioner. This would permit the average an-
anual use of 276,973 gallons of water for domestic
or irrigation purposes. Significant usage beyond
this amount would subject the dwelling owner to the
requirement of providing additional raw water rights.
4. The above Drovisions be incorporated into a legal
agreement binding on all future property owners.
Staff recommends approval."
Vice -Mayor Gray inquired if approval had been received from
the County regarding this request. Assistant City Manager
Paul Lanspery stated a letter from Larry Timm, Director of
Planning for Larimer County, had been received which says in
effect, that they agree with the Planning and Zoning Boards
recommendation and our recommendation to give these taps out.
It's in conformance with their policies.
Councilwoman Reeves stated she did not favor granting this re-
quest because the general procedure has been to give out of
City taps to areas that can eventually annex to the City:

Gray, to deny the out -of -City Water requests. Yeas: Coun-
cilmembers Gray and Reeves. Nays: Councilmembers Kross and

out of room).
THE MOTION FAILED.
Vice Mayor Gray stated the motion had failed and declared
that this item would be considered again when the full Coun-
cil is present. (It was later considered and approved at
this meeting).
Downtown Parking - Foster
Lumber Co. Site
Following is the City Manager's memorandum on this item:
"A couple of months ago, Council authorized Staff to negoti-
ate with the Foster Lumber Co. site for purposes of increasing
our downtown parking. An appraisal was made on the property
and we offered owner Howard Jones the appraisal price of
$230,000. Mr. Jones has rejected the City's offer and coun-
tered with their original position of $275,000.
' Staff recommends (1) that our original offer of $230,000 stand
and (2) that alternative sites be looked into."
Assistant City Manager Lanspery stated Council had earlier dis-
cussed this, Mr. Jones had been offered $230,000 for the site,
they countered with their original proposal of $275,000. He
stated further, "We'd like the recommendation to be that we
would not accept the $275,000 offer and look for other type
parking downtown that we discussed previously."
Councilman Wilkinson made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Kross, to reject the $275,000 offer from the owners of the Fos-
ter Lumber Company site and that we (Council) receive from
staff a comprehensive parking recommendation for the downtown
area. Yeas: Councilmembers Gray, Kross, Reeves and Wilkinson.
Nays: None. (Councilmembers Bowling, St. Croix and Wilmarth

Contract for Independent
Audit Authorized
Mayor Bowling stated the Council would now go back and receive
a report from the Finance Committee.
Councilman St. Croix reported the Finance Committee had met
with representatives of Clifton, Gunderson and Company from
Denver, and they had presented a proposal for a management
audit of the Seven Year Capital Fund and specifically the
Lincoln Community Center and the City Hall.
Mr. Robert Hammond of the firm, outlined the stages of the
first two phases of the audit at a cost of $22,300, to be
completed within 30 days. The third phase would be charged
on a hourly rate. Councilman Wilmarth reported that Mr. Ham-
mond had indicated it would be helpful to have access to the
architects and contractors records from the inspection. The
City will request access of these records. City Manager Arnold
stated the administration would get a letter contract to Mr.
Hammond probably tommorrow.
' Councilman St. Croix made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman
Reeves to approve the recommendation of the Finance Committee
that the City enter into an agreement/contract with Clifton,
Gunderson and Company to perform phase I and II, leaving phase
III open, to be completed within 30 days, and that the admini-
stration be directed to encumber the money to cover the fees
to come out of the Seven Year Capital Improvements Program and
that it specifically allocated for this purpose. Yeas: Coun-
cilmembers Bowling, Gray, Reeves, St. Croix, Wilkinson and Wil-

THE MOTION CARRIED
Out of City Service
Request Approved
City Manager Arnold read the following letter into the record:
May 1, 1979
This letter is in reference to the Out -of -City Water Pe -
quest by Mr. Yelek, which would involve water taps to six proposed
single family lots, ranging from 40-65 acres each, located north
of Colorado 14 and west of U.S. 287. This request has been re-
ferred to this department for comment.
The site in question is in an area which the County Land Use
Plan designates as most suitable for rural development. Rural
development is generally defined as non-residential, agricultural
uses.
However, division of the site into tracts greater than. 35
acres in size is permitted by State Statute without County review
or approval. The County has no authority to deny a building permit
on these large tracts provided the proposed uses are all.owed,by
the existing zoning (O-Open) and requirements of the Uniform
Building Code are met.
Provision of six water taps to the site will therefore not
result in densities greater than one unit per 35 acres unless the
County subseq;•ntly.approves an exemption or subdivison on the
site.
By virtue of the possibility that the provision of City I
water service to this area may increase development pressure in
the area, the City Planning and Zoning Board's condition of approv-
al should be followed.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
Sin reliv
arry R. Timm T_ICP

The City Manager then read the conditions under which approval
is recommended:
1. No additional taps will be permitted on the lands
described without the express review and consent
of the Water Board, the Planning and Zoning Board,
and City Council.
2. The Petitioner shall submit full and complete engineer-
ing analysis and plans for the water system subject to
approval by City Staff.

per dwelling unit shall be provided to the City
by the Petitioner. This would permit the average
annual use of 276,973 gallons of water for domes-
tic or irrigation purposes. Significant usage be-
yond this amount would subject the dwelling owner
to the requirement of providing additional raw
water rights.
4. The above provisions be incorporated into a legal
agreement binding on all future property owners.
Councilmembers questioned if this proposal fell under the
State plan, and the obligation of the City to provide for
other taps.
Mr. Glen Farnham representing Mr. Yelek spoke in support of
the request.
