OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE 2020 CLIMATE
ACTION PLAN MITIGATION AND RESILIENCE PROJECTS
AND RELATED ART IN PUBLIC PLACES
WHEREAS, Fort Collins Electric Utility and Energy Services teams collaborate closely on
planning, implementation and operations in support of community Climate Action Plan (CAP)
goals, including 100% renewable electricity (100RE) in ten years, while maintaining the City's
historic reliability and affordability; and
WHEREAS, during the 2019/20 Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process, portions of the
CAP opportunity package were revised, including reduction to the "distribution transformer" offer
(Offer 8.70), which required deferment of certain planned Electric Utility transformers purchases,
and reduction of "commercial solar rebates" (Offer 9.92), which limited the rebates to 25% of
program forecasts; and
WHEREAS, Electric Utility staff has identified unspent resources in the Light & Power
fund following completion of 2019 capital projects, which monies are available for redeployment
to support projects in 2020, including accelerating transformer replacement deferred after revision
of Offer 8.70 and issuing additional commercial solar rebates curtailed after revision of Offer 9.92;
and
WHEREAS, staff similarly has identified unspent resources in system additions and
operations and maintenance (O&M) accounts that are also available for appropriations to support
electric system reliability and resiliency; and
WHEREAS, staff has identified over $6,000,000 in electric system improvements that can
be completed in 2020 through redeployment of $3,729,759 of unspent 2019 Light & Power
reserves, the locations for which are depicted on a GIS map posted on the Utility Services website,
including the following:
• electric distribution cable system replacements to improve distribution system reliability;
• cable diagnostic testing equipment;
• electric distribution system connection for Mail Creek Crossing, Strauss Cabin, Fox Hills,
and Blehm annexation areas; and
• conversion of overhead electric distribution system areas; and
WI i EREAS, staff also recommends appropriating a portion of the unspent funds toward
Energy Services projects that advance the City's 2020 Energy Policy, including the following:
• enhancing the commercial solar incentive budget (bringing the total to $365,000), to
address received 2020 project affidavits and develop eight additional sites, adding up to
one megawatt (MW) of capacity toward the 2020 Energy Policy 20 MW local solar target;
I

• realigning 2020 activities to leverage Platte River Power Authority funding to enhance
Bring Your Own Thermostat offers, installing Grid Interactive Water Heaters in low
income customer premises, engaging battery customers, collaborating with peer utilities to
customize carbon -based incentives, and expanding electrification incentives; and
WHEREAS, the proposed redeployment of 2019 Light & Power Fund reserves benefits
Electric Utility ratepayers, as required by Article XII, Section 6 of the City Charter, by leveraging
existing resources to complete distribution system renewals and replacements to improve overall
system reliability and resiliency in the current budget cycle, rather than postponing such system
enhancements; and
WHEREAS, this appropriation further benefits Electric Utility ratepayers, as required by
the City Charter, and serves the utility purpose of enabling distribution system enlargements and
betterments to improve overall grid flexibility and beneficial electrification for all customer rate
classes, in tandem with the public purpose of retiring carbon -based energy reliance in alignment
with community CAP goals; and
WHEREAS, in 1995, the City Council adopted Article XII of City Code Chapter 23 to
establish a program to acquire, exhibit and maintain art in public places, to be funded by
contributions in Council appropriations for capital projects, including those by its utilities, equal
to 1 % of project construction costs; for the City's utilities this contribution is capped at a total of
.5% of each utility's "budgeted operating revenue" (the "APP Ordinance"); and
WHEREAS, this project involves construction estimated to cost more than $250,000, as
such, Section 23-304 of the City Code requires one percent of the eligible appropriations to be
transferred to the Cultural Services and Facilities Fund for a contribution to the Art in Public Places
(APP) program; and
WHEREAS, contributions to Art in Public Places for each Utility is kept and spent in such
Utility's own fund, except for maintenance, administration, repair and display costs pursuant to
City Code Section 23-303; and
WHEREAS, the APP Ordinance requires this appropriation to include a 1 % contribution
for Art in Public Places on only the eligible portion ($1,637,759) of the total appropriated amount
($3,729,759) resulting in a total APP appropriation of $16,379, allocated between artwork and
operation and maintenance; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 9 of the City Charter permits the City Council to
appropriate by ordinance at any time during the fiscal year such funds for expenditure as may be
available from reserves accumulated in prior years, notwithstanding that such reserves were not
previously appropriated; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has recommended the appropriation described herein and
determined that this appropriation is available and previously unappropriated from the Light &
Power Fund and will not cause the total amount appropriated in the Light & Power Fund to exceed
the current estimate of actual and anticipated revenues to be received in that fund during any fiscal
-2-
year; and
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 10, of the City Charter authorizes the City Council to
transfer by ordinance any unexpended and unencumbered appropriated amount or portion thereof
from one fund or capital project to another fund or capital project, provided that the purpose for
which the transferred funds are to be expended remains unchanged; the purpose for which the
funds were initially appropriated no longer exists; or the proposed transfer is from a fund or capital
project in which the amount appropriated exceeds the amount needed to accomplish the purpose
specified in the appropriation ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with Article V, Section 10 of the City Charter, the appropriation
of reserves for the Project from the Light & Power Fund and the transfer of a portion of those
unexpended and unencumbered appropriated funds to the APP program established by City Code
Section 23-304(a) will be used for Light & Power purposes and improvements in connection with
the Project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT
COLLINS as follows:
Section 1. That the City Council hereby makes and adopts the determinations and
findings contained in the recitals set forth above.
