Anyone may request an item on this calendar be “pulled” off the Consent Calendar and considered separately. o Council-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered before Discussion Items. o Citizen-pulled Consent Calendar items will be considered after Discussion Items.  PUBLIC COMMENT Individuals may comment regarding items scheduled on the Consent Calendar and items not specifically scheduled on the agenda. Comments regarding land use projects for which a development application has been filed should be submitted in the development review process** and not to the Council.  Those who wish to speak are asked to sign in at the table in the lobby (for recordkeeping purposes).  All speakers will be asked by the presiding officer to identify themselves by raising their hand, and then will be asked to move to one of the two lines of speakers (or to a seat nearby, for those who are not able to stand while waiting).  The presiding officer will determine and announce the length of time allowed for each speaker.  Each speaker will be asked to state his or her name and general address for the record, and to keep comments brief. Any written comments or materials intended for the Council should be provided to the City Clerk.  A timer will beep once and the timer light will turn yellow to indicate that 30 seconds of speaking time remain, and will beep again and turn red when a speaker’s time to speak has ended.

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. Items Relating to Purchase of Vehicles. A. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 141, 2019, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue from the Volkswagen Settlement Funds for the Purchase of Two Electric Vehicles to Replace End of Life Diesel Vehicles and Associated Charging Equipment. B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 142, 2019, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue from the Volkswagen Settlement Funds for the Purchase of Three Alternative Fuel Body-on-Chassis Style Buses. The purpose of this item is to appropriate unanticipated grant revenue awarded to Transfort through the Clean Air Act Settlement program administered by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and to reappropriate lapsing funds. Transfort was awarded funding through CDOT’s Consolidated Call for Capital Projects in 2018 for the purchase of a total of five alternatively fueled vehicles and two depot chargers. Settlement funds can be used to cover 110% of the incremental cost of purchasing an alternatively fueled vehicle compared with a new diesel vehicle. Transfort plans to replace two end-of-life diesel revenue transit buses with two new zero-emission vehicles (ZEV), purchase two depot chargers, and replace three end-of-life diesel cutaway buses with three alternative fuel vehicles. Settlement funds do not require a local match. 2. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 143, 2019, Making Appropriations and Authorizing Transfers of Appropriations for the Horsetooth Outlet Project and Related Art in Public Places. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 3, 2019, appropriates $3.2 million from Water Fund Reserves to design and construct a project to provide a temporary backup City of Fort Collins Page 4 water supply pumping system during a planned October-November 2020 closure by Northern Water of the Soldier Canyon Dam Outlet pipeline from Horsetooth Reservoir (Horsetooth Outlet Project). The pipeline provides water to the two drinking water treatment plants serving the City of Fort Collins and surrounding areas, serving about 250,000 people. The pumping system is intended as an emergency backup supply system to the primary Cache la Poudre River (Poudre River) water supply during the 60-day planned outage of the Soldier Canyon Dam Outlet pipeline. The City will be reimbursed 58% of the project costs by the project partners at the conclusion of construction. The City’s final contribution will be $1.4 million of the $3.2 million total project cost. 3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 145, 2019, Adopting the 2020 Classified Employees Pay Plan. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 3, 2019, adopts the 2020 City Classified Employee Pay Plan. Classified jobs are grouped according to job functions, a business practice commonly used by both the public and private sectors. Pay ranges are developed by career group (management, professional, administrative, operations and trades) and level for each job function. The result of this work is a City Classified Employee Pay Plan which sets the minimum, midpoint and maximum of pay ranges for the level, within each career group and function. Actual employee pay increases are awarded through a separate administrative process in accordance with the budgeted amount approved by Council. 4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 146, 2019, Adopting the 2020 Larimer County Regional Transportation Capital Expansion Fee Schedule. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 3, 2019, adopts the 2020 Larimer County Regional Transportation Capital Expansion Fee schedule. The City collects Larimer County Regional Capital Expansion Fees (Regional TCEF) on behalf of the County. The Regional TCEF generates revenue for capacity related improvements to regionally significant roadways that are necessitated by new development. The Regional TCEF are only used on improvements that mutually benefit both the City and County. The Regional TCEF are collected at the issuance of a building permit. 5. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 147, 2019, Authorizing the Exchange of Stormwater Easements Between the City of Fort Collins and John C. Graham and Ginger L. Graham. This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 3, 2019, authorizes an exchange of stormwater easements across portions of property generally located north of the North Lemay and East Vine intersection. A stormwater easement from the City of Fort Collins will be conveyed to John C. Graham and Ginger L. Graham (consisting of 5,749 square feet located on City property) and a stormwater easement from John C. Graham and Ginger L. Graham will be conveyed to the City of Fort Collins (consisting of 34,885 square feet) and a temporary construction easement (consisting of 22,235 square feet) would be exchanged. As consideration for the easements on the Graham property the City would convey the easement across City property and the Stormwater Utility would agree to apply the balance of the difference between the value of the two easements to Stormwater Plant Investment Fees (PIF) and monthly stormwater fees for a hay barn built by the Grahams within the City limits, instead of additional cash consideration. The City’s receipt of the easements across the Graham property is consideration for the easement across City property and the credited stormwater fees. 6. First Reading of Ordinance No. 148, 2019, Amending Chapters 12, 15 and 20 of the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Update Environmental Codes. The purpose of this item is to update existing environmental codes for clarity, consistency with current practices, and in support of their enforcement.
