C . Musgrove, Pastor There was considerable discussion on the matter of diagonal parking as it creates considerable traffic hazards, especially on the narrower streets.

The following communication was presented and read at length: Mr. Harvey Johnson - Mayor City of Fort Collins 300 LaPorte Ave. Ft. Collins, Colorado Honorable Sir: I am hereby presenting a formal request to you and to the City Council of the City of Fort Collins. I own, operate and have residence in an apartment house located at 1015 West Prospect Street. The original structure of this building was erected in 1904, Over the years it has progressed into a multi -unit apartment building. It was since I've owned this property that the city made certain committments and promises to me if I would annex the property into the City. It is a fact that only on the grounds of these committments did I agree to the annexation of the property into the City as a non -conforming unit. To this day the City has made no effort whatsoever to fullfill its obligations. It now appears that this property has been included in the Consolidated Improve- ment District No. 58 for street paving. Within several hours after the Oity let the con- tract for paving, I presented a formal request to your City Engineer to preserve my parking area across the front of this property. He was not only un-cooperative but in fact anta- gonistic and provocative. The parking area across the front of this property has been used as such since the horse and buggy days of 1904 and is just as vital and essential today for the successful operation of the property as a multi dwelling unit. 'The area in front of this building offers off-street parking for our own vehicles and those of our tenants. In the winter when there is snow and ice on the only access drive othe bottom rear of the building it becomes positively a must that the residents of this building park on top. As i is today, the residents of this building are using and parking off the street ten different vehicles. As you can well understand this area can barely furnish adequate parking for the tenants, much less constant guest cars. Even as it is now I occasionally have problems over parking. This information should satisfy you beyond a shadow of a doubt as to the validity of my claim, and the positive need to preserve this parking area. In the event there is any question whatsoever, could your office furnish me with the proper procedure to annex out of the City: For your convenience I shall draw a map of the frontage of this property. I thank you in advance for giving this matter your prompt attention, I remain, /a/ LeRoy A. Ackerman Motion was made by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that that matter be tabled.

Results of survey indicate that the municipality is providing degree of protection comparable to Class 6, whereas basic fire insurance rates are based on the municipality pro- viding degree of protection comparable to Class 5. Due primarily to annexation and development in the City, improvements in fire pro- tection facilities are in order to keep pace with this expansion. In this connection, we have outlines an impovement program below, which when fully completed would produce the cre- dits necessary to retain Class 5 protection and the accompanying basic fire insurance rates. Fire Department 1. That a third engine company be established in the southern portion of the city to adequately provide protection in this expanding area. A general location i the vicinity of Stuart and Stove Streets is suggested. 2. That a new 1000 G.P.M. pumper be procured and to be placed in service in head- quarters station. Existing pumper #1 (1953 Central) at headquarters station to be placed in service in above recommended station #3. New apparatus to sat isfactorily pass standard acceptance test upon delivery in Fort Collins. 3. That sufficient full time personnel in the fire fighting division be provided in order to maintain at least three men on duty at all times including vaca- tion periods and time off as may be permitted with each of three engine and one ladder companies. Apparatus manning to exclude chief officers and alarm operators. 4. That sufficient company officers be provided in order that at least one will be on duty at all times with each of four companies in service. 5. T•iat a complete book of rules and regulations governing department operations be established. It is suggested that these be provided in conjunction with suitable civil service regulations or the equivalent. Water Supply 6. That the arterial system be strengthened in the southern and southeastern portions of the city. It is suggested that plans covering distribution system improvements in this area be submitted for review. The above recommendations may be somewhat altered depending upon partial or full ;ompliance with other recommendations as contained in Town Report dated July, 1964.

The fees collected are nedequate, and have an inequality since they are charged for by the area of the lot, not y the time required to perform them. Some lots require much more time to do than others f the same size, due to obstructions, odd shapes and no control points. 489 August 6, 1964 The present charge for lot surveys is $15.00 for a lot 6,000 square feet or smaller with a graduated fee up to $19.00 for a lot of 10,000 square feet.

The curb and gutter surveys are charged $0.10 per lineal foot, with a minimum charge of $6.00. The actual costs for these surveys range from $10.00 up to $30.00. I would recommend that all survey work covered by the resolution be done on an hourly charge, with the rate to be based on actual overhead costs. Very truly yours, Is/ G. J. Weiss, City Engineer.

Boos, City Manager Subject: New High School - Pedestrian and Bicycle Access. The recently completed School Traffic Engineering Study financed by the CLty and the School Board suggested several alternatives as to eventual development of the right of way on La- Porte and Mulberry Streets west to the new Poudre High School. Discussions of school, city, and county officials resulting in the conclusion that it was imperative that some measure be taken prior to the start of this schoolyear to provide some type of pedestrian and bycycle access to the new high ,school on LaPorte from Bryan Street west, and on Mulberry f rom Crestmore west. In view of the fact that the area is sparsely developed, abutting properties are intermit- tently in and out of the city and available funds are limited, it has been suggested that La- Porte and Mulberry be improved as follows: 1. The roadway on the south side of Laporte be graded t o the full width of the right of way and a six-foot wide 12 inch asphalt walk be placed at the south edge of the right of way from Bryan to the entrance to the school. 11 2. The roadway on the north side of Mulberry be graded to the full width of the ght of way and a six-foot wide 12 inch asphalt walk be placed on the north side of the ght of way from Crestmore to 24th Street. 3. That a temporary crossing of the Mercer Ditch at the edge of the right of way on LaPorte be constructed initially and be replaced by a new bridge the full width of the ^fight of way in the Fall when the ditch is not in use. Phe estimated cost of Nos. 1 and 2 above is $6,500. Et is recommended that the City and County enter into an agreement to immediately proceed with the improvements outlined above and equally share the cost of the improvements.

In connection with the recently completed School Traffic Engineering study financed by the City and the School Board, city and school administrative officials have extensively re- viewed the report and recommend implementation of the standards set forth in the Report. In order_to expediate implementing as much as possible of the Report prior to the opening of school August 31, we have taken the following action: 1. Quotations on necessary signs and posts have been requested of suppliers so that they might be reported to you at the regular City.Council meeting August 6, 1964. 2. A quotation on necessary painting has been requested from a firm in Denver so that it might be reported to you at the regular City Council meeting August 6, 1964. This to our knowledge is the only firm in the area with special equipment to paint all of the school crossings in a relatively short time. We will report the above quotations at the regular City Council meeting August 6, 1964, for consideration of the City Council. At the regular School Board meeting, Monday, August 3, 196 , the School Board authorized participation in this project in the amount not to exceed 3,500.00. Respectfully submitted, /a/ R. F. Boos, City Manager The City Manager advised the Council that they had received quotations from four ifferent companies on signs, posts and hardware. The quotations were Thompson Pipe and teel Company, J & S Supply Company and McDonald Equipment Company. Thompson Pipe and Steel ompapy made the low bid but their delivery date was 30 or 40 days on the signs and 60 days n the posts and the City is desirous of getting these signs delivered before school opens n August 31. The American Supply Company the second low bidder, could deliver posts in one eek, non -reflective signs in two weeks and reflective in two weeks, which would allow the i.ty to get the signs installed approximately by the time school opens. After discussion, otion was made by Councilman McMillan, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the quotations f the American Supply Company of $1,981.40 be approved and accepted and the requirement bidding under Section 32, Part 4 of Chapter 5 of the City Charter be waived.

The following communication was presented and read at length: NELSON, HALEY, PATTERSON and QUIRK Engineering Consultants August 5, 1964 r. Robert Boos ity Manager ity Hall ar Mr. Boos: s letter is being written in connection with the 15 million gallon reservoir which was 0 was recently completed by the Van Winkle Construction Company. As you know, a contract which they signed in November allowed them 210 days in which to com- plete the construction. The formal contract was dated November 9, 1963 and, as of the date on whicht he City of Fort Collins began filling the reservoir, 248 days had elapsed. The contract f uther states that, on the average, the contractor can anticipate ten per cent of the time as bad weather time. Ten per cent of the 248 days results in a 25 day bad weather time. Actually, our records indicate thirty days of bad weather; therefore, the contractor is eligible for five days addition to his original contract as a result of bad weather. As you know, the contractor experienced a strike with the carpenters on or about March 1, 1964. The job was shut down as a result of this strike for period of 15 days. Later this spring, another strike took place which removed many of the union carpenters and some of the other union workmen, Actually, there was no work stoppage at this time; bQb the contractor believes that he was slowed down and actually lost ten productive days. It/our opinion that ,you could allow four days for this slow -down. During May and June, the contractor completed Change Order No. 1, and has requested seven days extension as a result of this Change Order. The above items, including bad weather (five days), the first strike (15 days), the second strike (four days), and the Change Order (seven days), result in 31 days of lost time. These 31 days would extend the contract to 241 days and the contractor actually used 248 da) leaving seven days unaccounted for. The contract between Van Winkle Construction Company and the City of Fort Collins states that liquidated damages in the amount of $$100 should be paid to the City of Fort Colins by the contractor for each day necessary to complete the contract, in excess of the time set forth in the Proposal, plus any authorized time extensions. I£ the Council agrees with our recommendation for an extension of 31 days to this contract, the contractor is still liable for $700, as a result of the seven days which were unaccounted for. If ,you would like for me to meet with the Council to discuss the liquidated damages on this project, please contace me and I will make arrangements. Very truly yours, NELSON, HALEY, PATTERSON, and QUIRK /s/ Willard R. Quirk, P.E. The Mayor requested that the matter be handled with the Engineer's and the con- tractor in reference to the matter included in this communication and asked the City Manager to make arrangements for same.
