at 200 East Swallow Road, located in the Low Density Residential (R-L) zone district, and being made
in conjunction with Minor Amendment MA180050. The APU would allow 100% of the house to be
used for a professional office versus 50% which is allowed under the Home Occupation License.

by ordinance. If this item is pulled from the consent agenda and Council votes to deny the APU, staff

the City of Greeley ("Greeley") and the Water Supply and Storage Company ("WSSC") to perform a
dam breach inundation mapping study for several reservoirs in the upper Cache la Poudre River basin,
including two owned by the City of Fort Collins. Fort Collins is collaborating with Greeley and WSSC
to perform this State -required mapping on a total of ten reservoirs in the upper Cache la Poudre River
basin. A consultant has been selected who will contract directly with Greeley, while Fort Collins and
WSSC will be invoiced by Greeley for the portions of the work that affect their respective reservoirs.
Fort Collins is saving considerable funds by collaborating with Greeley and WSSC to perform
modelling and mapping on ten reservoirs versus modelling each reservoir individually. Each entity is
also saving costs by applying for a grant from the State of Colorado that covers 50% of the costs of
the project.

Collins to Revise Stormwater Rates, Fees and Charges.
City of Fort Collins Page 408
November 6, 2018
The purpose of this item is for Council to consider adjusting monthly charges for electric and storm
water services in 2019. The revenue requirements to support the 2019 budget will require increasing
monthly charges for electric service by 5.0% and stormwater service by 2.0%. Staff recommends no
changes to water and wastewater utility rates.
Lance Smith, Utilities Strategic Finance Director, discussed the proposed 5% electric and 2%
stormwater rate increases. Regarding electric rates, Smith stated it is no longer feasible to draw
down reserves further to meet operational needs and noted the 2019 budget is intended to be
adequate but not excessive to provide the same level of service as 2018. Smith discussed
neighboring communities' rate increases and Fort Collins' payment assistance programs.
Fred Kirsch asked if the broadband investment has an impact on these rates.,
Kevin Cross, Fort Collins Sustainability Group, stated the proposed 5% electric rate increase
includes a 0.31% piece that would fund 25% of two budget offers the Fort Collins Sustainability
Group supports. He stated the Group supports increasing funding for those two offers by another
25%, which would be a $362,000 increase for two years.
Rich Stave asked about demand and capital needs by rate group. He discussed the time of use
rates and questioned why commercial and industrial customers do not have a time of use increase.
Eric Sutherland stated the Boxelder Stormwater Authority demonstrated an absence of fiscal
responsibility by Utilities. He opposed the time of use rate structure.
Mayor Troxell asked if the broadband investment has any impact on the proposed rate increases.
City Manager Atteberry replied in the negative.
Mayor Troxell requested staff input regarding Mr. Stave's questions. Smith replied 40% of the
peak demand is associated with industrial customers, 30% with commercial, and 30% with
residential.
Mayor Troxell noted the time of use rates provide net neutral funding for the Utilities. Smith
replied those rates are not associated with an increase in revenue.
Councilmember Cunniff noted the time of use rates will be analyzed after a year to ensure they are
net neutral. He requested an analysis prior to Second Reading about whether any rate classes are
paying more or less than their fair share of the net total electric wholesale and capital costs.
Councilmember Stephens requested information about payment assistance programs. Lisa
Rosintoski, Utilities Customer Connections, provided information regarding the Utilities
affordability portfolio. She stated the income qualified program has 713 participants and discussed
public outreach efforts.
Councilmember Martinez expressed concern about the time of use rates, noting they are not net
neutral for the customers. Smith stated the average customer only uses 17% of their monthly
electric use during the on -peak window.
Councilmember Martinez asked how messaging regarding medical waivers is being distributed.
Rosintoski replied the City is using social media, community events, and grassroots outreach
efforts.
City of Fort Collins Page 409
November 6, 2018
Councilmember Martinez asked if medical supply companies and hospitals or doctors' offices
could inform customers. Rosintoski noted the waiver application requires a doctor's approval;
however, those communication efforts could be made more robust.
Councilmember Martinez asked how much of the 51/o increase is going to the Climate Action Plan.
Smith replied 1.4% of the 5% is anticipated to be wholesale cost and 3.6% is intended to stay
within the distribution utility, some of which will be used for Climate Action Plan related offers,
some of which will be used for ongoing energy service programs, and some will allow for renewal.
He stated 0.31% is going directly to Climate Action Plan goals in this budget cycle.
Mayor Pro Tern Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to adopt Ordinance
No. 134, 2018, on First Reading.
Mayor Pro Tern Horak stated most of the rate increase deals with keeping the utility reliable. The
1.4% is related to wholesale rates which the Platte River Power Authority has agreed to smooth
over time.
Councilmember Martinez asked about the impacts to reliability should the 5% increase not move
forward. Deputy City Manager Mihelich replied a portion of the increase is for maintenance of
the electrical system which will help with reliability.
Councilmember Martinez stated the messaging needs to be improved and noted this is not revenue
neutral for some customers.
City Manager Atteberry stated Fort Collins has one of the most reliable electric systems in the
United States. He stated the proposed rate structure is responsible from an operational standpoint
and helps further other City goals.
Councilmember Martinez discussed the importance of aiding lower -income households.
City Manager Atteberry stated deferring increases could result in a bigger gap than if funding
maintenance occurs.
Councilmember Cunniff stated he would support the motion as proactive maintenance is important
to keep expensive emergency repairs from being required.
Councilmember Stephens encouraged customers to call Utilities if they are struggling with paying
bills.
Councilmember Martinez stated his vote is intended to represent those who do not have a loud
enough voice. The .City would keep up with maintenance regardless of this increase, though it
may be less cost effective.
Mayor Troxell discussed the importance of reliable electric power and associated infrastructure.
Mayor Pro Tern Horak stated not following through with this increase would not be responsible
for the future of the utility.

plan for the next two fiscal years. This Ordinance sets the amount of $634, 271,160 to be appropriated

sustaining the current level of services balanced with available resources, continuing energy
efficiency efforts, and supporting City employees.

scenario; therefore, reductions have been requited. He discussed additions that have been made
to the budget since the last work session. He stated the budget is balanced and reflects community
and Council priorities and noted the overall fiscal health of the City is stable and strong.

be complete prior to applying for GoCo grant funding. Laurie Kadrich, Planning, Development,
