Mrs. Joseph N.

We are doing a special "Know Your Local Government" study this year. Therefore the committee heading this effort has perused the 1965 budget. The committee wishes to express appreciation for the method and clarity of the budget presentation, especially the explanatory narrative. We feel that this budget will be a valuable aid in continuing our study of local government, and also in promoting gen- eral citizen understanding. Respectfully yours, /s/ Mrs. Dale Winder, President Fort Collins League of Women Voters The Woodward GovernorCompany presented a review of the 1965 budget at the regular meeting of the Council on October 1, 1964, asking certain questions and clarifications of the format of the budget. The Council has formulated a reply to the Woodward Governor Com- pany, answering the questions as submitted in their October 1, report. Mr. John Powelson, Chairman of the Woodward Governor tax committee,presented the following communication: Tax Committee Meeting October 8, 1964 Members Present: J. Powelson, 0. Thoen, L. Smith, G. Goodall, R. Anderson Subject: Fort Collins Budget for 1965 On October 7, 1964, the tax committee and Mr. Palmes met with Mr. Lynch, acting city mana- ger; Mr. March, city attorney and Mr. McCluskey, accountant. We reviewed the tax committee earlier budget report step by step and the committee feels that Mr. Lynch, especially, ans- wered out questions fully and to the point. We were told that certain changes to the budget have subsequently beer. made. The review our committee made was to a tentative budget. Some of our questions were answered by the fact thatt he budget format in itself is new thi year and certain items were not shown in the same way as in the past budgets. We feel the council should make full use of local talent before outside consultants are hired. Especially concerning expansion of the water and electrical power systems since thet wo can be closely related in the form of hydro-electics. Water may soon become much more of a problem than electrical power is at present. The electrical utility plant is creating an enviable surplus which we hope will be conserve as much as possible for future expansion of both the electrical plant and the sewage dis- posal plant. Isl John A. Powelson Chairman Woodward Governor Company Tax Mr. G. H. Palmes, the tax consultant of the Woodward Governor Company, asked for clarification of certain items which has reduced the appropriations as formally made in the original draft in the 1965 budget and this request was answered by the Mayor and Acting City Manager.

The following report was presented and read at length: SIGNAL STUDY MYRTLE ST. AND S. COLLEGE AVE. Fort Collins, Colorado Genera The location of the Myrtle St. - S. College Ave. intersection is between Mulberry St. and Laurel St. intersections with S. College Ave. Both Mulbeny and Laurel are east -west collectors. Myrtle Street is a local type Street. There are signal installations both at Mulberry and Laurel Streets at the intersection of S. College Avenue. The parking on S. College Ave. is parallel, while angle parking; is used on Myrtle treet. Signal System: he signals along S. College Ave. are interconnected in an alternate type system. In the lternate type system, when an intersection starts green at one intersection; the two adja- ent intersection signals will start red. The existing progression system along S. College Ave. provides relatively good progression in each direction. between Laurel and Mulberry Streets and Mulberry and Olive Streets, on S. College Ave., progressive speeds very close to the speed limit can be maintained in both directions. This type of operation is generally very difficult to obtain in progressive systems for two-way traffic. 'The combination of cycle lengths, 'block lengths, and signal lengths, and signal location along S. College Ave. go together to provide the good progres- sion. he installation of a traffic signal at Myrtle St. and S. College Ave. would break down the xisting progres.sion. The current progressive speed between Laurel and Mulberry is 33.3 PH average. With a signal at Myrtle, a progressive speed of 13.6 MPH a'oerage would exist etween Mulberry and Myrtle, and 16.6 MPH average between Myrtle and Laurel. The reduced peeds would reducet he traffic -carrying abilities of S. College Ave., thus causing delay nd additional congestion. Traffic Volumes: Traffic voumues and turning movements at S. College Ave. and Myrtle Street were taken by anual counts on three occasions, in both A.M. and P.M. o problem was observed for vehicles making left turns onto Myrtle from College. Left turns by northbound vehicles from gollege Ave, into Myrtle Street were highter.dur.ing the evening peak hours. This is probably partly due to drivers avoiding the delays and congestion of akirg left turns: on one block south at Laurel Street. n only a few occasions were vehicles in line waiting to enter the intersection. Delay at hese times was minimal and waiting time of all vehicles has been included in averages indi- ated on the accompanying sketch. ccidents: uring the period January 1, 1964 to September 29, 1964, eight accidents occuring in the rea of Myrtle St. and College Ave. were reported to the Police Department. Records indi- ate thirteen accidents occurred in the area of Laurel and College, and thirty-four in the 570 October S, 1964 - area of Laurel and College, and thirty-four in the atea of Mulberry and College during the same period of time. Of the eight accidents at Myrtle and College, three involved vehicles crossing the intersection, two were rear and collisions, two were hitting of parked: vehicles and one was making a turn from the wrong lane. Findings: il 1. A signal at Myrtle St. and S. College Ave. would seriously disrupt the progresll sive Traffic flow. 2. Myrtle St. should retain the "Local" type street character inasmuch as the streets both north and south are either collectors or arterials. 3. Traffic volumes do not meet the requirements under "interruption of contin- uo,as flow" warrants. L. The accident experience does not indicate a pattern of accidents which could corrected by a signal. [. Time necessary for vehicles to pass through the intersection is short compared to waiting periods at signalized intersections. 6. Drivers entering from Myrtle and stopping inthe middle of College ave. are a small minority. This report and the conclusions reached result from studies and compilation of cords by the City Engineering Department, Police Department, Vealess Hudspeth, Consulting affic Engineer and the Planning Office. /s/ H. D. Lynch . Acting.City Manager Motion was made by Councilwoman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Guyer, that the report on the traffic study on Myrtle and South College Avenue be accepted.
