A Study Map had been prepared by the Administration and Staff, in which the streets,
traffic patterns, and sewer systems were outlined.
Di.rector of Planning, Don Reynolds also advised the Council that this area was an
island and could be forcibly annexed in February of 1973.
Problem areas, not'directly related to the Annexation itself, were explained by
the Director of Planning, having to do with the subdivision proposal of buildings
being accessible only by foot bridges; his concern for fire protection; the need
for dedicated streets on the east boundary, and Mr. Brunton's feeling that this
perhaps, could serve as open space.
Mr. Reynolds also stated the RLP zone, was consistent with other zoning in the
area.
Mayor Carson stated that if Constitution Street were made a through Street, the
City would be forcing a bridge to relieve traffic to the south.
City Engineer, Ray Bingman stated a staff member of the Planning Office and he
had physically walked the area, and if Constitution Street were made a through
street the city would be forcing three ditch crossings, as well as having two
steep slopes add to traffic problems, especially in the winter time.

Bid for construction of New Fire Station - awarded
City Manager, Robert Brunton stated five bids were received. Also, alternates were
put in because the Architects were concerned that they might go over bid.
The total of the Alternates was $11,091; taking the alternates, plus the base bid
and subtracting the sales tax refund of $908, the total bid is $191,7S8. Mr.
Brunton also spoke to the question of savings on electrical service as regards
the 240 compressor, and added the total cost for this program was $262,750.50.
Mr. Brunton further stated this amount is $32,134.50 above the amount budgeted,
but that perhaps the previous administration had taken into account the $35,000
firm price offered for the old fire station site. Mr. Brunton also stated the
disposal of the old fire station would have to be done on a bid basis.
Mr. Bruntons recommendation to the Council is as follows: (1) That the bid be
awarded to Delozier, including alternates 2, 3 and 4; (2) That $32,1 4.50 be trans-
ferred from the general corporate fund to the construction fund and (3) That a
study be made of the old fire station site for public need; if no need established,
that the city dispose of the property.

Draft Ordinance establishing a program for low income elderly residents
Tax Refund - taken under advisement
City Manager, Robert Brunton, advised Council that this proposal closley paralleled
Boulder's Ordinance; that it did not take into account other low income people,
and that he would have further recommendations on December 7. The total cost for
this program, as stated by Director of Finance, Charlie Cain, is $50,000.
Air. Charles Shepardson, inquired if this proposal delt soleywith refund on property
tax; upon being advised that it did, Mr. Shepardson stated that tha Senior Citizens
Commission had recommended relief with regard to special assessments.
City Attorney, March stated this would be a separate matter and Boulder does not
use it because of the interest that accrues on special assessments.
Other possible areas discussed for tax relief were (1) special assessments on
trees (2) special assessments on sidewalks (3) property tax and (4) sales tax.
City Attorney March requested input from Council as to their desires on the establish-
ment, implementation and administration of this ordinance and the percentage (1.44
percent now proposed) for completion of the ordinance.

Brunton stated he would discuss these and other related.matterswith Boulder's
City Manager.
Mayor Carson, in closing, stated Council would consider this matter at a later date.
Request from Trash Haulers for rate increase taken under advisement
City Manager, Robert Brunton, stated he had met with Attorney Maurice Nelson, who
represents the trash haulers and the trash haulers , and they had requested a 40
percent increase in rates, and had also requested that the number of cans be
limited to four. This was based on the assumption that the city would raise the
rates at the land fill.
Air. Brunton also stated the consideration of increases at the land fill would be
on the Agenda for December 7 and negotiations with the trash haulers would be
based on what the city does. Following further discussion, Mr. Brunton stated
the question of land fill rates will appear on the Agenda on December 7, and
that he would have a report on what the prevailing rates of other cities are on
December 14, and that he would schedule a public meeting to discuss the entire

Rohdy of the University, and that CSU works on a line item budget and they do not
have money in the budget for an increase of electrical rates. Therefore the

they can work out a new agree'.ment.Mr. Brunton stated the Administration would
report back on this item.
Reports of the City Attorney

various holders of Hotel -Restaurant Liquor Licenses, occupation tax; a decision
from the court was received upholding the city's position, and he encouraged the
Director of Finance to collect the tax as soon as the time for appeal has passed.
Secondly, the matter of the request of the Department of Atmospheric Science to
use parking spaces, light poles and traffic poles; a letter was submitted from
Attorney John E. Bush, representing CSU, stating, in part, "the conduct of the
research project is upon the condition that the University is responsible for any
damage to property or personal injury which occurs in connection with the research
project and that the City has no responsibility in regard thereto."
Reports of the City Manager

Architect for the design of the swimming pool at Lincoln Junior High School, by

It was the consensus of the Council that the Administration proceed with inter-
views, narrow the applicants to about three and report back.

Honorable Mayor $ Members of the Fort Collins City Council:
The Fort Collins Human Relations Commission has been spending
a good deal of time to clarify its function as an instrument of the
City Council in the Human relations area of the city of Fort Collins.
One of its primary concerns is to develop a membership of the
commission which will both function regularly and bring genuine con-
cerns for the well-being of our community to their membership. With
this in mind, the Commission is recommending that Mr. John Dustos of
309 South Loomis, be dropped from the membership of the Commission as
he has not attended in approximately two years.
Dr. Ralph Niemann of 105 South Hollywood, has been serving as a
representative of the Human Relations Commission of Colorado State
University. His resignation is now in hand inasmuch as the Director
of the Colorado State Human Relations Commission, Mr. Wilbur Scar-
borough, is now on the job and available for this position on our
Commission, We, therefore, recommend and nominate the following
persons to fill existing vacancies on the Fort Collins Human Relations
Commission:

November 22, 1972
Mr. Louis Brown, Jr. Mrs. David Moore
Mr. David Osborn Dr. Wilbur Scarborough
With an alternative name for any of the above whom the Council may not
wish to appoint
Mr. Carmel C. Solano
We would urge immediate action upon these nominations as the Commission
is organizing itself for action as quickly as these vacancies may be
filled.
,-1 The Commission wishes to notify the City Council that it is meeting
regularly on the First Thursday evening of each month at 7:30 in the
Friendship Room of the City Hall. The by-laws of the Commission con-
cerning the regularity and time of the meetings of the Commission read
as follows: "Regular quarterly meetings and annual meeting. The
Commission shall meet on the second Monday of January, April, July, and
October, The October meeting shall be the Annual Meeting."
It is the recommendation of the Commission that this portion
of the by-laws be changed to read: "The Commission shall hold
regular meetings which shall include an Annual Meeting in October."
Sincerely
