FORT COLLINS November 7, 1963 BUILDING CORPORATION City Council City of Fort Collins Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Council Members: We would like to submit for your consideration the following facts and figures concerning our electrical needs and uses in our building complex to be constructed in the area bounded by Canyon, Oak and Meldrum Streets. The following computations are based on primary meter- ing of individual tenants: Savings to the City: Capital expenditures- 39 meters & sockets @ $30 ea . ................... $ 1,170.00 Installation of above @$5 ea. ................... 195.00 3 transformers @ $"1,500 ea. (incl. conn.)........ ,500.00 Total capital expenditure savings ............................. 5,865.00 Maintenance costs (per annum) 39 meters @ $5 per meter 195.00 Meter reading & accounting (39 meters) 240.00 201 November 7, 1963 Total maintenance cost savings .............................. $ 4-35.00 Savings for Owner: Capital expenditures - Distribution costs (40 separate wiring systems as opposed to one system)........., $ 9,138.55 Branch circuit distribution- Six floors @ $1,462.50 (1st floor fixed) ............ 8,775.00 Total .capital expenditure savings ......................... $$17,913.55 Contingent costs - Remodeling of space (Based on vacancy of 15%) $1.10 per ft. on secondary $6,600.00 .35 " " " primary 2,100.00 Difference between systems ............. 4,500,00 Space savings- 15 s4. ft. per floor @ $$3.65 X 6 floors 328.50 Total annual savings ..................................... $a 4,828.50 In addition to the above, we beg of you to bear in mind two very important factors; 1. We do not consider that we are in any way selling electrical energy because: a. In 60% of the leases already negotiated we were requested to bid the space at a figure that included electricity. b. With a majority of the remaining leases, we were ask6d to quote a lease figure that included electricity to avoid the indefiniteness of fixed opera- ting costs (which is the manner in which almost all office space is leased in other cities). 2. With an investment of this proportion, flexibility of the building is of prime importance. With today's building costs, the difference between a return on the investment or a loss is, in many instances, the vacancy rate. We have been advise( by good authority that the best way to hold our vacancy to a minimum is to build it a high degree of flexibility by using a flexible electrical system, moveable parti- tions, etc. We must be in a position to expand or contract our space to the need: of our tenant's or prospective tenants. It is our most sincere wish that the Council look favorably upon granting a rate for pri- mary electricity that in our humble opinion can be done without a loss in income, taking the above calculations into consideration. By so doing, we may use an electrical distribu- tion system that will allow the all-important flexibility be built into the building-- a flexibility that we feel could be the difference between the building being an asset or a liability. Very truly yours, /s/ Gale E. Heiman Executive Vice President City Manager Boos advised the Council that the above request would involve a change of policy in service connections before an agreement, as requested, could be made. During discussion of the matter, Councilman McMillan recommended that a study be made in order that requests of the future of like nature could be handled if such -a policy -and rate would be feasible. After further discussion, motion was made by Councilman Johnson, seconded by Councilwoman Quinn, that the above request be denied but that the City proceed to make a study for future policies and rates of this type. Roll was called resulting as follows: Ayes: Councilmen Johnson, Colwell, McMillan, Honstein and Councilwoman Quinn. Nayes: None. The President declared the motion adopted.

Enforcement becomes even more important at those seasons which traditionally draw a largenumbers of people to shoppin, areas to make purchases. Such a shopping season comes during November and December. The Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce Urban Improvement Committee and Retain Counci rge the City of Fort Collins to renew its efforts to provide a strict enforeement program t thhis time. The enforcement program should discourage parkers who occupy metered space or long periods of time. We feel that a meter parker should be limited to -two hours on any ne space. Stricter enforcement may require more personnel and we urge that this move be NC November 7_'; 1963 approved it it is required. The Chamber of Commerce plans.• to launch a campaign to encourage employees to park away from the reatricted and metered areas. Thank you for ,your att ention to this request. Sincerely, Fort Collins Chamber of "ommerce Urban Improvement Committee and Retail Council /s/ By Paul A. Phibbo9 General Manager Mr. Paul Phibbs spoke in reference to the request for strict enforcement of mete ed parking in the City.

Boos, City Manager City of Fort Collins, Colorado Dear Sir: Reference is made to a request by Mr. Ghent, Mr. Owen and Mr. Carpenter, for in- stallation of Parking Meters in the 100 Block LaPorte Avenue and the 200 Block North Colleg Avenue. I would recommend that the meters be installed, under the following conditions. (1) That the existing unused curb cuts be removed and have t he curb and gutter replaced to permit public parking in these spaces. (2) That the parking in the 100 Block LaPorte Avenue be revased to confo to the attached Plan A. This plan will eliminate many of the safety hazards now existing in this area and will permit a faster traffic movement Yours very truly, /s/ G. J. Weiss City Engineer.

This was approved.

Mr. Gene E. Fischer of 1201 Westward Drive appeared before the Council protest- ing the street light that was in the program for the lighting of Westward Drive which would be placed immediately in his front yard corner and a very short distance of his master bed- room. No action was taken to the protest at this time as the district has not been created. The City Manager presented a report on the lighting for North College Avenue. It appears that the petitioner for the light district on North College Avenue wished the there light to be placed along the curb. The City Engineer reported that inasmuch as/was no curb and gutter on North College Avenue, that the placing of street lights would have to be protected in some way from the traffic. He suggested street lighting in the center of the 207 street with median strips to divide the traffic and presented a plan showing the proposed system. There was consider able discussion between certain -citizens present as to the cuts in the median strips and the necessity for U-turns at these intersections.
