Re: Council Work Session Agenda Item #2: Joint Board Meeting Additional
Information
At the October 28, 2013 City Council Leadership Team meeting, Council asked for some
additional information regarding PFA revenues.
1. What have been the overall contributions that PFA receives from both the City
of Fort Collins and the Poudre Valley Fire Protection District from all sources?
Attachments 1 and 2 provide details about the contributions of the City and the
PVFPD since 1993. Contributions from the City have included the following
components:
City O & M contribution from General Fund sources
City Capital contributions based on 1 mill of City property tax (1993‐ present)
City Keep Fort Collins Great contributions (11% of total KFCG revenue, 2011 –
present)
PVFPD unrestricted contributions based on property tax within the District,
currently set at 10.595 mills (all revenue except minimal cost of operating the
District)
PVFPD Capital contribution to construction of Station 8 in Timnath (dedicated
and projected to be transferred in 2014)
2. What would the City’s general fund contribution have been if its 1987‐ 2008
Revenue Allocation Formula had been used to calculate the City’s O&M
contribution in recent years?
In the 1990’s, the City applied TABOR limits to its allocations to PFA and made
adjustments (increases or decreases) for items such as annexations, economic
downturns, etc. After 2008, the City began to allocate funds to PFA based on a
percentage increase over previous years, rather than a calculation of the previous
Revenue Allocation Formula.
City staff has reviewed the calculations that were used prior to 2008, which included
adjustments for TABOR limits, and those used after that time, which made some
adjustments for annexations and budgetary factors. Based on this review, several key
assumptions surfaced that City staff believes need to be reviewed, the most significant
assumption concerns how TABOR is applied and how the base is reset during an
economic downturn. Adjustments to these assumptions results in a different
contribution amount. The amount of the additional contribution in 2013 would
range from a low of $1M to a high of $2.8M depending on the assumptions agreed to.
