The City Manager's memo regarding this item states in part:
"Ordinance No. 90, 1976, provides for the increasing of the City's
contribution to the Policemen's Pension Fund from 5% to 6'/. The
policemen have approved the increase in employee's contributions.
We are in the process of having our actuarial reports updated and
will be discussing this fund along with the other two pension funds
shortly after the first of the year."

Ordinance Adopted on First Reading Relating
to the Amount of the City's Contribution to the
Firemen's Pension Fund
The City Manager's.memo regarding this item states in part: ,
"Ordinance No. 91, 1976, provides for the increasing of the City's
contribution to the Firemen's Pension Fund from 51' to 6'/. At the
various budget work sessions, members of the Fire Department indi-
cated that they would be willing to increase their contributions to
the Firemen's Pension Fund from 5% to 6%, providing the City made
a similar contribution increase.
This additional pension fund contribution in itself will not make
the Firemen's Pension Fund actuarially sound. There will still have
to be additional revenue allocated for this fund along with the
other pension funds in the City. We will be discussing this matter
further after receiving the updated report from our actuarial
consultant."
Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray to
adopt Ordinance No. 91, 1976 on first reading. Yeas: Councilmembers

s
"At the present time, a firefighter who terminates other than
for retirement or disability is not eligible to obtain a refund
of his past contribution to the fund. This ordinance provides for
the firefighter to get such a refund of his past contributions
without interest upon termination of employment and further allows
any such firefighter to re-enter service in the fire department and
pay back the amount previously refunded to him in order to allow
him to be credited with his previous years of service for retirement
service. This ordinance parallels an existing ordinance to the same
effect for City police personnel participating in the policemen's
pension fund plan."
Mayor Wilkinson suggested that a small committee be formed with
Ron Wood included to look into the entire handling of the withdrawals
and repayments made to both the Firemen's Pension Fund and the
Policemen's Pension Fund.

building permit to construct a new house in place of an existing
house on the site, it is necessary to 'subdivide the single lots.
Although common driveways are not usually the best arrangement,
it is by far the better arrangement in this case so there would
be no more curb cuts on Prospect Street. The Planning and Zoning
Board has recommended approval."

Parking on College Avenue - Laurel to Magnolia
The City Manager's memo regarding this item states in part:
"At its October 7, 1975, meeting the Fort Collins City Council
voted "that the question of removal of parking north to Magnolia
be considered not later than twelve months from now." The members
of the City Staff have been meeting with property owners and
business owners in the area for the last several months. We have
had two general meetings. Enclosed is a memorandum from Roy A.
Bingman, Director of Engineering Services, on'this subject. We
have also received petitions from 169 owners, tenants, or residents
of property located in this area only, objecting to the removal of
parking. We have also received several other objections and
expect to receive more prior to the meeting. We will reD_ort on all
verbal and written objections at the meeting.
55
We on staff have had several meetings on this matter and concur
with the recommendations made in Mr. Bingman's memo. The
recommendations in summary are:
1. that we not remove the parking on this portion of
College Avenue; and
2, that we close the median on College at Myrtle Street
The City might want to consider the removal of the diagonal parking
on the East side of College Avenue in this area due to the safety
hazard. Another consideration for the future is the addition of
some parking meters in the 500 to 600 block.
A third suggestion is that we at some time consider a parking
improvement district in this area. In other words, the City should
periodically review the traffic and parking situation in this
area along with all the other areas in the City."
Mr. Brunton read into the record the following letter from
Mr. Dick Albrecht, President of the Fort Collins Area Chamber of
Commerce.
Recently the Transportation Committee of the Chamber met with represent-
atives of the business community located in the vicinity of Laurel and College.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss removal of parking on College,
which is under consideration by the City. After the meeting, various members
of the Committee walked through the area and it is apparent that parking else-
where is not really available.
h
We then met with Roy Bingham. Roy shared with us the concerns of the En-
gineering Department. He also advised that at this point in time, he would
recommend that parking should not be removed from College. We are in
agreement. We realize, however, that in the long run, additional off-street
parking is necessary for the business in that area and have suggested they
should begin to plan accordingly.
Certainly all of us want the Laurel and College business area to remain eco-
nomically strong. It is an attractive asset to the community, one that must
remain so. We would hope parking on College is not removed.

Petitions from the residents of the area requesting that the
parking not be removed were received _ for -the record.
Roy Bingman, Director of Engineering Services, reviewed .for
Council the points brought out at the meetings held with the
residents and tenants of the area.
Mr. Donald Frease, 636 S. College Avenue, thanked the City
Administration for their hard work in trying to find a solution
to this pioblem.
Councilman Bloom made a motion not to remove the parking on College
Avenue from Laurel to Magnolia, that the medians at College and
Myrtle be closed to left turns and that the Administration report
back within one year or sooner if necessary. Motion was seconded
by Councilman Suinn.
Mayor Wilkinson stated that the motion might be difficult for
some to vote on if they were for keening the parking but opposed
to closing the medians and presented the following motion; to
amend the previous motion to remove the portion of the motion which `
deals with the medians on College at Myrtle Street. The motion
died for lack of a second.
Vote on motion made by Councilman Bloom and seconded by Councilman
Suinn is as follows:
Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves and Suinn.
Abstained: Mayor Wilkinson.
Councilman Suinn requested that the issue of left turns from
Laurel to College be included in the follow-up report.
Windmill Apartments P.U.D.: Final Unit Development -
Plan and Plat Approved
Les Kaplan, Director of Planning, reviewed the plan briefly for
Council and some of the problems involved in getting a,,landscape
bond and stated that a letter of credit has been accepted in lieu
of the landscape bond.
Mr. Mike Wiley from the American Development Corporation spoke to
the letter of credit and how it was drafted.
The City Manager's memo regarding this states in part:
57
"The Windmill Apartments P.U.D. is located on the north side
of East Monroe Street between Stanford Road and Stover Street.
This 7.4-acre site is zoned RMP, Medium Density Planned Resi-
dential District. The preliminary, plan for this project was
approved by the City Council on May 20, 1976. There will be
139 one-, two-, and three -bedroom dwelling units in the project.
At the present time, we do not have the required landscaping
and maintenance bond. The developer has requested that we
receive final Council approval of this project conditioned
upon posting the required documents. The developer is planning
to make this responsibility .part of the general contractor's
responsibility."
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray
to approve the Windmill Apartments P.U.D., Final Unit Development
Plan and Plat subject to the Administration receiving the required
landscape and maintenance bond and other legal documents required

Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson. Nays: None.
Horsetooth - South Mesa Annexation
Referred to City Attorney
Les Kaplan, Director of Planning, advised Council that this is a
City initiated annexation.
The City Manager's memo states in part:
"The City Administration has initiated this annexation of 89.2
acres of land to the City of Fort Collins. This land is located rF
immediately west of College Avenue and north of Horsetooth Road.
This land has been surrounded for more than three vears on two-
thirds of the contiguous oroperty. Involuntary annexation is
consistent with the City's overall policy in regard to annexation.
Although the issue of zoning does not have to be decided for ninety
days after passage of the annexation ordinance, it is advantageous
to have some tentative or final conclusion with regard to zoning
prior to the annexation. This matter was disussed at the
November 8, 1976, Planning and Zoning Board meeting. At that time
the Board voted unanimously to recommend the annexation, and also
to follow the Administration's recommendation in general with
regard to zoning; namely, a combination of R-L-P, R-L-M, R-P, and
H-B zonings. We will discuss the rationale for these various zoning
recommendations at the Council meeting."
Councilman Bowling made a motion, seconded by Councilwoman Gray
to refer the matter to the City Attorney's Office to prepare the
necessary legal documents to bring the matter back before the
Council. Yeas: Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Suinn
and Wilkinson. Nays: None.

Improvement District Board.'
City Attorney March made the following statement for the record:
i
"A meeting of the Board of Directors of the City of Fort Collins
General Improvement District No. 1 has just been conducted at
which all of the Council members present at the Council meeting
were in attendance as members for the Board of Directors of the
General Improvement District. At that meeting a presentation
was made on the General Improvement District Bonds.,by Boettcher
and Company. Also at that time, a proposition made,on behalf of I
the United Bank and First National Bank was presented... Basically,
that proposition was that the banks would buy the Special Improve-
ment Bonds at the same rate as negotiated for the sale of the
General Improvement District Bonds; the bonds would be bought
through Boettcher and Company with normal Bond Counsel approval
and subject to receiving approval of the Comptroller of the
Treasury as a legal investment for the banks.
65
I
The Council discussed in detail the offer to buy the Special
District Bonds as presented on behalf of the banks. It was
noted that the bonds for a special district will normally bear
an interest rate from 1/4 to 1/2 percent above general obliga-
tion bonds such as those of the General Improvement District.
Therefore, the offer of the bank represents a real savings to
property owners in the district."
Councilman Bloom made a motion, seconded by Councilman Bowling
to accept the proposition subject to those contingencies, with
the understanding that there will be no underwriting fees from
Boettcher and Company in connection with this issue. Yeas:
Councilmembers Bloom, Bowling, Gray, Reeves, Suinn and Wilkinson.
Nays: None.
