Selections on plans for the Retirement Plan to be initiated in 1971, was discussed.
The City Manager stated that Plan C comes closer to what the City want to do for the money and
that he concurs with this plan; it provides better advantages to the employees and it is in
conjunction with Social Security. Mr. William Doyle, Director of Systems and Information,
explained that Plan C was a greater advantage to the City, that he was pleased, considering this
plan would make a livable income for the employees at retirement. Councilman Kruchten stated
that there was a great deal of effort and time spent and a great deal of study by our Actuary -
on these plans; that this plan is more realistic and personally was very pleased that the City
can present such aplan to the employees. He stated the City will make the entire contribution,
that this was a much better plan than any of the others presented. Motion was made by

this and proceed accordingly. This was seconded by Councilman Troxell. Mayor Carson

Mr. Alvin Miller was present and stated that a matter had developed over the past .
two or three years concerning the City water line. He stated he understood that a line over
6" in diameter would be picked up by the City to pay the cost of same, however we received
a bill from Mr. Bingman for several hundred dollars -for some 12" water line on Taft Hill, and
that he would like to have it cleared up if the City will.pick up the overage. The Director
of Public Works stated that he has reviewed this but has made no decision.
Mr. Miller also asked about the Subdivision Ordinance which requests us to put in street
signs. He stated that they had contracted a Denver.£irm to put up these signs, but they are
very slow and would like to work out a program where the City does this and pay them.. Council=
man Troxell asked if.he agreed that they would be responsible for a 6 inch line and that the
City pay the actual difference in a 6 '11 and a,12" water pipe. Motion was made by Councilman

He stated that if we get this this year, we can get it at this price, and if we order
it today, can get it by Monday, that it is important that this be done now while we can use
the Rural fire truck now as a substitute. He recommended that we accept Cummings Power Inc.,
which would be a savings of $2,632.20 as $8,000.00 was allowed in the budget fur this. Motion
was made by Councilman Troxell, seconded by Councilman Lopez,
Chief Yonkers stated that Mr. Don Mead, representative of the Rocky Mountain.Fire
Protective Bureau, was going to be in Denver and would like to have the Fort Collins Council
visit him, that he will be checking the Rural Fire Department the first of the year. It
was the consensus of opinion of the Council that they meet with Mr. Mead and discuss different
factors, such as insurance rates, etc., that we make a comparison with Greeley, who has a very
good record, and that we improve.some of the things that are required, things that can make the -
Bureau look a little more favorably at us
