WHEREAS, on January 14, 2014, the City Council adopted Resolution 2014-005
authorizing the City Manager to carry out certain actions generally related to working with the
Fort Collins Urban Renewal Authority, Larimer County (the County"), and other taxing entities
in Larimer County to develop an appropriate fiscal impact analysis model for evaluating
financial impacts associated with the formation of tax increment financing districts, the
redevelopment of lands, and annexation of properties, including costs of service and revenue
implications; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 2014-005 authorizes the City Manager to enter into agreements
on the City's behalf in support of the development of this fiscal impact model, with the work on
this project to be initiated no later than May 1, 2014, and completed no later than December 15,
2014; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 2014-103 amended Resolution 2014-005 and extended the
deadline for completion of the project to December 15, 2015; and
WHEREAS, since the adoption of Resolutions 2014-005 and 2014-103, City and County
staff have had several discussions out of which a new quantitative direct cost impact model and
a qualitative indirect impact factors model have been developed for use in the fiscal impact
analysis; and
WHEREAS, representatives have been holding meetings on a regular basis since
February 2014; and
WHEREAS, a Technical Team comprised of certain members of the working group will
work directly with the Economic Planning and Systems ("EPS") to ensure the scope of the fiscal
impact model incudes the correct data, variables and assumptions to provide accurate fiscal
impact results; and
WHEREAS, .the Technical Team and EPS will do the detailed _technical work in
developing a model to be reviewed by a broader team; and

several key assumption inputs to the model and to finalize indirect impact factors that should be
considered with future projects; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the model will be finalized in 2016; and

2014-005 to extend the work-completion deadline from December 15, 2015, to December 15,
2016; and
