Staff recommends approval of the Consent Calendar. Anyone may request an item on this calendar to be "pulled" off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. Agenda items pulled from the Consent Calendar will be considered separately under Pulled Consent Items. Items remaining on the Consent Calendar will be approved by City Council with one vote. The Consent Calendar consists of: ● Ordinances on First Reading that are routine; ● Ordinances on Second Reading that are routine; ● Those of no perceived controversy; ● Routine administrative actions. If the presiding officer determines that the number of items pulled from the Consent Calendar by citizens is substantial and may impair the Council’s ability to complete the planned agenda, the presiding officer may declare that the following process will be used to simplify consideration of the Citizen-Pulled Consent Items:   (1) All citizen-pulled items (to be listed by number) will be considered as a group under the heading “Consideration of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items.” (2) At that time, each citizen wishing to speak will be given a single chance to speak about any and all of the items that have been moved to that part of the agenda. (3) After the citizen comments, any Councilmember may specify items from the list of Citizen-Pulled Consent Items for Council to discuss and vote on individually. Excluding those specified items, Council will then adopt all “Citizen-Pulled Consent Items” as a block, by a single motion, second and vote. (4) Any Citizen-Pulled Consent Items that a Councilmember has asked to be considered individually will then be considered using the regular process for considering discussion items. 1. Consideration and Approval of the Minutes of the February 16, 2021 Regular meeting and the February 23, 2021 Adjourned meeting. The purpose of this item is to approve the minutes of the February 16, 2021 Regular meeting and the February 23, 2021 Adjourned meeting. 2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 035, 2021, Reappropriating Funds Previously Appropriated in 2020 But Not expended and Not Encumbered in 2020. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 2, 2021, adopts to reappropriate monies in 2021 that were previously authorized by Council for expenditures in 2020 for various purposes. The authorized expenditures were not spent or could not be encumbered in 2020 because: There was not sufficient time to complete bidding in 2020 and therefore, there was no known vendor or binding contract as required to expend or encumber the monies; or The project for which the dollars were originally appropriated by Council could not be completed during 2020 and reappropriation of those dollars is necessary for completion of the project in 2021. Additionally, there may have been sufficient unspent dollars previously appropriated in 2020 to carry on programs, services, and facility improvements in 2021 for those specific purposes. In the above circumstances, the unexpended and/or unencumbered monies lapsed into individual fund balances at the end of 2020 and reflect no change in Council policies. Monies reappropriated for each City fund by this Ordinance are as follows: City of Fort Collins Page 5 3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 036, 2021, Making a Supplemental Appropriation for Grants to Fort Collins Utilities Commercial Water Customers for Water Conservation Landscape Transformation Projects. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 2, 2021, appropriates unanticipated grant revenue in the amount of $70,000 awarded by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation ("Reclamation") to the Fort Collins Utilities Water Conservation Division ("Water Conservation"). The funds will support commercial-scale waterwise landscape transformations through the Xeriscape Incentive Program (also known as "XIP"). Eligible participants of the program include but are not limited to homeowners' associations ("HOAs"), businesses, religious organizations, government entities, schools, and other Fort Collins Utilities commercial water customers. 4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 037, 2021, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Making Supplemental Appropriations for the Utilities Locating Department. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 2, 2021, is to provide supplemental resources in the 2021 budget for the Utilities Locating Department. Utilities has a regulatory obligation to fulfill underground facility locating requests within 48 hours of notification and the current volume of locating requests exceeds the normal capacity of Department resources. This appropriation will provide additional resources to contract for third party services to meet locating request obligations in 2021. 5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 038, 2021, Establishing Rental Rates and Delivery Charges for Use of Water Available Under Fort Collins Utilities' Raw Water Interests for 2021 Through March 2024. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 2, 2021, to obtain Council approval for the proposed formulas for calculating rental rates and delivery charges for Fort Collins Utilities’ (Utilities) raw water supplies for approximately three years, which includes proposed rental rates and delivery charges for fully consumable water. The rates and charges would be effective through March 2024, to address the gap between the end of 2023 and Council approval of new rates and charges in early 2024. Setting the rates and charges via formula ensures Utilities will recoup its costs for rented water while increasing the planning certainty for the water rental community. Staff is recommending an increase in the rental rate for fully consumable water. This increase will only impact customers of our year-to-year leasing program. The increase reflects the cost of administering these rentals and is in line with market conditions for this type of water. This is the only significant change to the rental rates and delivery charges. 6. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 039, 2021, Making Supplemental Appropriations and Appropriating Prior Year Reserves for the South Timberline Road Improvements Project - Stetson Creek Road to Trilby Road and Related Art in Public Places.

This will authorize the Mayor to sign an intergovernmental agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation (“CDOT”) to receive and use the federal grant funds and will appropriate $4,556,542 into the Capital Projects Fund for the Project. These funds will be used for the construction of roadway improvements along Timberline Road from Stetson Creek Drive to Trilby Road. Finally, a transfer of General Fund $912,543 Keep Fort Collins Great Fund 226,690 Cultural Services Fund 55,000 Wastewater Fund 35,000 Total $1,229,233 City of Fort Collins Page 6 $18,435 from the Project to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund will be made for the required Art in Public Places program contribution. 7.

This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 2, 2021, approves changes to the exterior lighting standards in the City Land Use Code for new commercial and multi-family development projects. The goals of the update are to ensure adequate light levels for safety and commerce; update technical criteria to align with current industry metrics; better control the various aspects of light pollution (overlighting, glare, light trespass); and require contextually appropriate lighting plans that result in lower lighting in areas with lower nighttime activity (Natural Areas and residential areas), and higher lighting levels in areas with higher nighttime activity (Downtown and commercial corridors). 8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 041, 2021, Appropriating Unanticipated Philanthropic Revenue Received by City Give for Transfer to Natural Areas for Restoration of Bobcat Ridge. The purpose of this item is to appropriate $75,000 in philanthropic revenue in the General Fund through City Give for transfer to Natural Areas to support fire recovery and ecological restoration efforts at Bobcat Ridge Natural Area as designated by the donor, the D.R. & V. Pulliam Charitable Trust. 9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 042, 2021, Authorizing the Issuance of the City of Fort Collins, Colorado Tax-Exempt Economic Development Revenue Bond (The Residence At Oakridge Project), Series 2021A and Taxable Economic Development Revenue Bond (The Residence At Oakridge Project), Series 2021B to Refund the City of Fort Collins, Colorado Variable Rate Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2001A (The Residence At Oakridge Project); and Authorizing the Execution and Delivery by the City of a Financing Agreement, Bonds, and Other Documents in Connection Therewith. In 2001, the City issued its City of Fort Collins, Colorado Variable Rate Economic Development Revenue Bonds, Series 2001A (The Residence at Oakridge Project), in the original aggregate principal amount of $3,555,000 (the “2001A Bonds”). The 2001A Bonds financed a portion of the costs of a 68- bed assisted living facility in the Oakridge Business Park (the “Project”). The proceeds of the 2001A Bonds were loaned by the City to The Residence @ Oakridge, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Borrower”) which owns the Project. The Borrower has requested that the City issue its Tax- Exempt Economic Development Revenue Bond (The Residence At Oakridge Project), Series 2021A and Taxable Economic Development Revenue Bond (The Residence At Oakridge Project), Series 2021B (collectively, the “2021 Bonds”) to refund the 2001A Bonds to take advantage of current low interest rates. The Borrower has solicited proposals from various financial institutions and has determined that First American State Bank (the “Lender”) will provide the lowest interest rate and most favorable terms to the Borrower. This Ordinance will authorize the issuance of an amount not to exceed $2,415,000 of economic development revenue bonds for the Project. Economic development revenue bonds may be issued by the City pursuant to the County and Municipality Development Revenue Bond Act (the “Act”), constituting §§ 29-3-101 through 29-3-123 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (“C.R.S), for private activity purposes, such as the Project. These 2021 Bonds are not a financial obligation of the City and will be repaid solely by payments from the Borrower. The issuance of the 2021 Bonds does not require the use of any of the City’s private activity bond allocation from the State. And, there is no fiscal impact on the City in connection with the issuance of the 2021 Bonds and the Borrower will pay all of the City’s costs and attorney fees for the refunding either from proceeds of the 2021 Bonds or its own resources. City of Fort Collins Page 7 10. Items Relating to Amending City Code Provisions Concerning the City’s Self-Insurance Program and Fund, and Amending Related Code Provisions Concerning the City’s Obligations to Defend and Indemnify its Employees. A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2021, Amending Division 3 in Article III of Chapter 8 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Concerning the City’s Self-Insurance Program and Fund. B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 044, 2021, Amending Division 6 in Article VII of Chapter 2 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Concerning the City’s Defense and Indemnity of its Employees in Certain Civil, Criminal and Administrative Matters. The purpose of these two ordinances is to update the City Code provisions concerning the City’s use of its Self-Insurance Program and Fund to pay judgments, settlements, attorney fees and other litigation costs related to the various civil claims that can be brought against the City and its employees and, related to this update, amending the City Code provisions addressing the City’s obligations to defend and indemnify its employees regarding such civil claims and, in some circumstances, to reimburse City employees for the attorney fees and costs they may incur in certain criminal matters related to their City employment. The amendments to the City’s defense and indemnity obligations include adding provisions to recognize the defense and indemnity obligations the City has to its police officers under two Colorado statutes, including the recent statute enacted under Senate Bill 20-217 creating a new civil claim against police officers for violating a person’s rights under the Bill of Rights in the Colorado Constitution. Also added is a provision to reimburse City employees in some circumstances for the attorney fees and costs they may incur in certain administrative matters related to their City employment. 11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2021, Amending Section 23-354 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins Regarding Disposition of Land Bank Property. The purpose of this item is to replace the right of reverter clause in the Land Bank program with a more flexible requirement that can be tailored to each project. Currently, the right of reverter would allow the City to seize property if the Land Banking Code requirements are not met, but this possibility makes it difficult, if not impossible, for developers of affordable housing to obtain financing for their projects on Land Bank parcels. The proposed amendments to City Code in the Ordinance retain the requirement that the City secure permanent affordability to the greatest extent possible, through a deed restriction, covenant or such others instrument or instruments as the City Manager and City Attorney deem appropriate but do not lock the City into one remedy for non-compliance. 12.

Staff will also provide a summary of an IGA for cost-sharing the needed post-fire watershed restoration treatments with partnering public water providers. City of Fort Collins Page 8 13.

The purpose of this item is to consider appropriation of a “one-time cash distribution” of $468,941 from Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) to be used for utility delinquencies through the Utilities Payment Assistance Program for electric and telecommunication utility customers economically affected by COVID-19 and to address the impact on rates that significant past-due and uncollectible balances may have on all electric and other utility ratepayers. The funds were deposited into the Light & Power Enterprise Fund in December 2020, and may only be used for that utility’s operations, maintenance, repair, replacement, or betterment or for another “specific utility purpose determined by Council to [benefit the utility’s ratepayers]”. 14.
