The proposed legislation would seek information from railroads for emergency in advance of shipments of hazardous materials so that they are best able to protect the community.

Natural Areas staff spent the last two years gathering input from the citizens of Fort Collins and Larimer County as to the future of the City's natural areas. The results of that research indicated a high level of community enthusiasm and satisfaction with the City's land and habitat conservation and outdoor recreation efforts. In survey data and in public forums, citizens clearly expressed a desire for the City to continue its efforts to conserve diverse lands and to provide outdoor recreation opportunities, in particular opportunities for walking, hiking, and biking.

ESRI's suite of Geographic Information System (GIS) software products are used throughout the organization by many departments. The software and its data are integral to several other software solutions. The ELA is a cost effective approach that allows for an unlimited number of users to make use of this software and also provides for access to future upgrades, updates and patches. ESRI's software is proprietary and is only available through them; they do not work with resellers. City of Fort Collins Page 413 14.

RESULT: ORDINANCE NO. 135, 2014, ADOPTED ON FIRST READING [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Gerry Horak, District 6 SECONDER: Wade Troxell, District 4 AYES: Weitkunat, Overbeck, Poppaw, Campana, Troxell, Conniff, Horak (Secretary's note: The Council took a brief recess at this point in the meeting.) 19. Modified Electric Service Connections. (Option A or B) (Postponed to November 18, 2014) The purpose of this item is to revise (Option A) or clarify (Option B) the City Code provisions relating to Electric Development Fees, in particular, Electric Capacity Fee Charges. The Ordinances clarify that the fees due are based on the rates effective on the date of final payment but Council is presented with two options on how the fee is to be collected. • Option A: Option A is a timing change from current Code requirements. This option requires that 100% the Electric Capacity Fee (ECF) to be payable prior to the Utility initiating construction of the electric distribution system. Rates in effect at the time of payment would apply. Currently only 50% of the fee is payable prior to construction with the remainder due prior to the electric system being energized. Option A also addresses how invoices issued prior to the adoption of this ordinance would be addressed. • Option B. Option B does not change the timing of current Code requirements. It requires at least 50% of the Electric Capacity Fee (ECF) to be.paid as a deposit prior to the Utility initiating construction of the electric distribution system. The remaining ECF (final payment) would be due prior to the system being energized. Rates in effect at the time of final payment would apply to City of Fort Collins Poge 418 the entire development. Because Option B is not a change from current practice or intent of the current code, it would apply to all invoices issued before or after the adoption. No changes to the Electric Development Fee amounts are proposed as part of this ordinance. The ordinance changes the verbiage only. 2015 Electric Development Fee rate amounts will be presented to City Council for first reading on October 21, 2014 as a separate item. Councilmember Campana withdrew from the discussion of this item due to a conflict of interest. Lance Smith, Utilities Strategic Financial Planning Manager, discussed the current City policy and detailed the options for Council consideration to adjust the policy. He stated the Energy Board expressed support for Option A. Councilmember Cunniff stated Option A has the benefit of simplicity; however, he questioned whether this option would result in a rush of fees being paid prior to a coming fee increase. Smith replied the fees are updated annually; therefore, each year does not have a substantial increase. Mayor Pro Tem Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to adopt Ordinance No. 136, 2014, Option A, on First Reading. r Councilmember Troxell asked what type of time delays would occur under Option B. Janet McTague, Utility Project Engineering Supervisor, replied Xcel is typically right behind the City in terms of installation, within a week. Councilmember Troxell asked about the current 50/50 payment policy. McTague replied the City installs its infrastructure once a developer pays the first 50% and the transformers are not energized until the second 50% is paid, which is typically within a week. She stated the proposed up -front 100% payment will likely be a convenience to most developers. Councilmember Cunniff expressed support for Option A., Mayor Weitkunat stated she would not support the motion stating she does not believe 100% up- front payments are the way to do business. Mayor Pro Tern Horak asked if any other development fees are paid in parts. McTague replied the only other fee paid in parts is the cost to, run the secondary service from the transformer to the meter in a residential development. Interim City Attorney Daggett noted impact fees are generally paid in full for a building permit. Councilmember Troxell asked when the 100% payment would be due. Smith replied it would be due prior to scheduling the infrastructure construction. Councilmember Troxell asked what the expectation from developers should be'in terms of timing of construction. McTague stated the 100% would not be expected to be paid until shovels are ready to be used based on the mutually -accepted design. Councilmember Troxell asked about the timeline between the beginning of construction and energizing. McTague replied projects are most always taken through to completion once they begin and will be energized as soon as they are complete. City of Fort Collins Page 419 Councilmember Troxell stated he would like the Ordinance to include language relating to level of service expectations. City Manager Atteberry suggested possible changes could be made prior to Second Reading. Councilmember Poppaw asked if any developers have expressed concern regarding the proposed 100% payment. Additionally, she asked if there has ever been a concern relating to the City Utilities not delivering as promised. Mayor Pro Tem Horak appreciated Councilmember Troxell's concerns and encouraged additional public outreach prior to Second Reading. Councilmember Cunniff asked if Council would have the purview to change from Option A to Option B between readings. Councilmembers and Mayor Weitkunat discussed the need for additional public outreach. Councilmember Poppaw made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to postpone First Reading of Ordinance No. 136, 2014 to November 18, 2014.

The total combined project costs are $23,411,000 with $4,500,000 already appropriated from Light and Power reserves, leaving $18,911,000 to be appropriated with this ordinance. A Utility Building Team comprised of internal staff and external subject matter experts has worked with the architectural firm RNL and Adolfson and Peterson Construction to assess the best way to address the current building performance and space issues facing Fort Collins Utilities' ongoing and future business operations. Balancing the city-wide goal to have high -performing office buildings with the need to be fiscally prudent has led the Building Team to recommend the two -pronged funding process proposed in this appropriation ordinance. The four Utility Enterprise Funds (Light and Power, Water, Wastewater and Stormwater) will share the costs of the projects. All appropriations will come from the existing reserves in these four funds.
