OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
APPROPRIATING PRIOR YEAR RESERVES TO SUPPORT THE
GARDENS ON SPRING CREEK MASTER PLAN, STRATEGIC
PLAN, AND INTERPRETIVE PLAN
A.The Gardens on Spring Creek's (the "Gardens") Master Plan, Strategic
Plan, and Interpretive Plan (the "Plans") are outdated and require updating to allow the
Gardens to effectively define work plans, budgets and priorities. Hiring one or more
consultants to facilitate the development of new Plans will cost approximately $150,000.
The Gardens has sufficient reserves to pay for the cost of consultants; however, an
appropriation is required for the Gardens to access those funds.
B.This appropriation benefits the public health, safety, and welfare of the
residents of Fort Collins and serves the public purpose of allowing the City to plan for the
efficient administration of a public facility.
C.Article V, Section 9 of the City Charter permits the City Council, upon the
recommendation of the City Manager, to make supplemental appropriations by ordinance
at any lime during the fiscal year from such revenues and funds for expenditure as may
be available from reserves accumulated in prior years, notwithstanding that such reserves
were not previously appropriated.
D.The City Manager has recommended the appropriation described herein
and determined that the funds to be appropriated are available and previously
unappropriated from the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund and that this appropriation
will not cause the total amount appropriated in the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund
lo exceed the current estimate of actual and anticipated revenues and all other funds to
be received in this Fund during this fiscal year.
In light of the foregoing Recitals, which the Council hereby makes and adopts as
determinations and findings, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that there is hereby appropriated from prior year reserves in the Cultural
Services and Facilities Fund the sum of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($150,000) to be expended in the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for The Gardens
on Spring Creek Master Plan, Strategic Plan, and Interpretive Plan.
