City of Fort Collins Page 4
Consent Calendar
The Consent Calendar is intended to allow the City Council to spend its time and energy on the
important items on a lengthy agenda. 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.

Currently, the building is closed to the community due to the installation of a new elevator to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act standards. With the building closure and the elevator construction
currently underway, staff recommends commencing the renovation work in 2021 to leverage the
current situation and minimize future closure time.

financial contributions from the City’s General Fund. Because each City has an ownership interest in

16. Items Related to the Conveyance of a Restrictive Notice on Portions of Cathy Fromme Prairie
Natural Area in Connection with Remediation of Environmental Contamination at the Larimer County
Landfill.
A. Resolution 2021-103 Authorizing the Execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement Between
the City of Fort Collins and The Board of County Commissioners of Larimer County, Colorado
Related to Restrictive Notice Reporting Requirements.
B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 159, 2021 Authorizing Conveyance of Notices of
Environmental Use Restrictions to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
on Portions of Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area in Connection with Remediation of
Groundwater Contamination from the Larimer County Landfill.
The purpose of this item is to authorize conveyance of two Restrictive Notices to the Colorado
Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”): one applicable to parcels located in
Cathy Fromme Prairie Natural Area (“CFP Natural Area”) owned solely by Fort Collins (the “Fort
Collins Restrictive Notice”) and one applicable to parcels located in CFP Natural Area owned jointly
by Fort Collins and Larimer County (the “Joint Restrictive Notice”). The parcels are located near the
Larimer County Landfill and are impacted by contaminated groundwater emanating from the Landfill.
The Restrictive Notices are requested by Larimer County in connection with its remediation of the
Landfill environmental contamination. They prohibit certain activities and uses that could create
exposure to contaminants from groundwater and are intended to protect public health while
permitting CDPHE to apply less stringent cleanup standards for two (but not all) contaminants of
concern, likely reducing the cost of the remediation.
While the Restrictive Notices will limit uses and activities on portions of CFP Natural Area, such
restrictions will only encumber a relatively small portion of CFP Natural Area. Further, the Natural
Areas Department has determined that the restrictions will not significantly impact the use, operation,
and management of the CFP Natural Area.
The Restrictive Notices require annual compliance reporting to CDPHE. Because Larimer County
has requested the Restrictive Notices and will be on the Fort Collins Parcels (as well as the other
parcels), conducting testing and remediation activities, the Resolution approves an
Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) with Larimer County under which Larimer County agrees to
certify to Fort Collins that the County has complied with the Restrictive Notice while on the Fort
Collins Parcels, will be responsible for any non-compliance and will pay any applicable fees
imposed by CDPHE in connection with the annual compliance reporting requirements.
Important Note: Larimer County, in cooperation with CDPHE, has posted the Restrictive Notices for
a 30-day public comment period. CDPHE will review any public comment received and may request
changes to the Restrictive Notices based on that comment. Any such changes will be presented to
Council at second reading.
17. Items Relating to The Gardens on Spring Creek/Butterfly Pavilion Butterfly House Operations.
A. First Reading of Ordinance No. 160, 2021, Approving a Contract Term of up to Ten Years

Pavilion.
B. Resolution 2021-104 Approving an Exception to the Use of a Competitive Process for
Butterfly House Operations by Rocky Mountain Butterfly Consortium, dba Butterfly Pavilion.

term of up to 10 years beginning November 16, 2021, to continue the services being provided by the
Butterfly Pavilion for butterfly operations of the Butterfly House at The Gardens on Spring Creek.
Approval of this exception may be used as authorized in City Code Section 8-161(d)(4) as the basis
for the City Manager and the Purchasing Agent to negotiate and agree to the additional purchase of
City of Fort Collins Page 9
butterfly management services from Butterfly Pavilion through November 2031 without further
Council approval.
