Securing the welfare of the core area is a job requiring the continu- ous action of the City Government as well as private development agencies. Our Chamber of Commerce has studied the core area needs forthe oast two years and developed recommendations which are appropriate for an action program. These actions will solve many problems exist- ing in the core business area. The sort Collins Chamber of Commerce recommends that the City Government move forward immed- iately on two projects. 1. Adopt an ordinance which will allow the creation of a Core Area Improvement District. The Governing Board of the District should have power to gain taxed income from within the District for buying, selling and managing of parking pro- perties within the District as well as conceiving and implementing beautificatic ideas. 2. Authorize a traffic study to implement the routing of thru traffic off College Avenue within the designated core area. The study would recommend pvper street alteration and signing devices to insure maximum effectiveness. The Chamber of Commerce proposes to continue its effortst oward: 1. Effecting the support necessary for formation of the District. 2. Creating a proper beautification and off street parking plan which will b e implemented by the District upon its formation. The Chamber of Commerce strongly urges that the Fort Collins City Council proceed on these recommendations without delay so that t he plan can be implemented by June 1, 1964. Adopted this 19th day of November, 1963. Urban Improvement Committee Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce /sl James W. Cooper, Acting Chairman In support of the interurban Improvement Committee, the following resolution was presented by the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce: RESOLUTION The Urban Improvement Committee of the Fort Collins Chamber of Commerce has diligently and effectively studied the problem of core area renewal in Fort Collins.

Re: Ben Olds Office Addition 200 West Prospect Dear Mr. Hubka: In reference tothe job listed above, there are four major discreptancies. 1. No permit was issued from this office. 2. No inspection was called for at any time on completion of this job. 3. Romex_was used where.the Electrical Ordinance calls for thinwall or rigid con duit. 4. Your or your legal agent was informed of the necessity of an additional elec- trical meter for each additional business or office added. It is for the first three reasons that as of the date November 27, 1963, ,your Cit, Master Electricians License is revoked until the City Council of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado advised me to reinstate it. Very truly yours, Ken Christensen Chief Electrical Inspector. Mr. Christensen was present and presented the following letter which is to be imailed to Mr. Ben -Olds, the contractor of the building where the Fort Collins Electrical Company was the contractor doing the electrical work: November 29, 1963 Ben Olds P. 0. Box 72 Ft. Collins, Colo. Dear Sir: A permit was issued for an ad& tion on to your existing building at 200 West Pros- pect on June 27, 1963, Permit No. 7030. This permit listed Fort Collins Electic as doing th Electrical Work. An inspection was made on this addition on Friday, November 22, 1963. These are three visable short comings in the electrical work, namely: 1. One meter is serving power to more than one business. 2. Incoming power lines are rubbing on a metallic louver. 3. The addition is wired in romex when the Electrical Code calls for conduit. Above and beyond this, no inspection was called for prior to covering the ceiling framing. We are calling for the above infractions to be corrected by not later than Decem- 229 November 27.�963 ber 11, 1963, or our only alternative will be to have your power discontinued until the above provisions ate met. Very truly yours, /s/ Wm. F.
