19. First Reading of Ordinance No. 40.2001. Amending Chapter 1 ofthe CityCode to Add a New
Section Authorizing the City Manager or Designee to Execute Certain Intergovernmental
Agreements.
In 1993, the CityCouncil adopted Ordinance 70, 1993, specifying the circumstances under which
the City Manager is authorized to execute intergovernmental agreements. The purpose of this
Ordinance is to codify the provisions of Ordinance No. 70, 1993.
20. First Reading of Ordinance No. 41, 2001, Authorizing the Conveyance of Non-exclusive
Easement Interests for the Construction of a 27-Inch Sewer Line by South Fort Collins Sanitation
District on a Portion of the Staley Neighborhood Park Site.
The Staley Neighborhood Park is located on the south side ofKechter Road (East County Road
36) between Ziegler Road (County Road 9) and Strauss Cabin Road (County Road 7). The park
site is 10 acres in total area and joins the 15-acre Poudre School District site to the east.
The proposed sanitary sewer line will be located along the west boundary of the Staley
Neighborhood Park site, and is being installed to serve a new development to the west ofthe Park
site. The permanent sewer line right-of-way will be 20' wide and adjacent to the park boundary.
The temporary 80' wide construction easement will be located adjacent and to the east of the
permanent right-of-way. The proposed sanitary sewer line can also provide service to the Park
site, as well as to the adjacent school site. This will reduce the cost of developing the Park,
because it will reduce the amount of sewer lime required to be installed by the City at that time. The
Park will not be developed for several years.

closed hours. Having a person at the Park most of the time will assist in deterring undesirable
activities.
The tenancy agreement is a month -to -month agreement, and is writtento provide the employee a
place to live while employed with the City. However, that person will be obligated to move if
employment ends or for other criteria listed in the tenancy agreement. -

17. First Reading of Ordinance No. 38.2001. Appropriating Prior Year Reserves and Authorizing the
Transfer of Appropriations for a Centralized Police Facility.
A new central Police Services building is part of the Police Services Strategic Plan and the City's
Facility Master Plan. The existing building was not designed for a police agency and is no longer
suitable for a department the size of Police Services with over 225. members. A new facility is
necessary to maintain service to the community, conduct business, and provide public safety.
Land acquisition and/or initial design for a new Police Building was included in the voter -approved
Building Community Choices (BCC) capital program. A needs assessment facility study was
completed and indicated 92,811 square feet is needed for a centralized facilityand 101,606 square
feet is needed for a decentralized (two buildings) facility. City Council and staff have expressed
the preferred option is a centralized facility.
18. First Reading of Ordinance No. 39, 2001, Amending Chapter 23.5 of the City Code Pertaining
to Special Events and Demonstrations.
This Ordinance would amend Chapter 23.5 of the City Code (Special Events), to include a new
defined category of event, referred to as a "demonstration". This term is used to clarify provisions
in Chapter 23.5 that previously referenced "events for the purpose of exercising free speech." The
Ordinance modifies current Code language to clarify that the City shall be entitled to recover traffic
control expenses incurred by the City as a direct result of a permitted event, and shall in all
instances be entitled to indemnification by the pemut holder for costs incurred repairing damage
caused by the pen -nit holder or its agents. New provisions have been added allowing: (1) the denial
of a permit for an event that would violate an ordinance or statute; (2) revocation of a permit if
conditions change so that the permit application would have been denied; and (3) revocation of a
pen -nit if continuation of an event presents a clear and present danger to participants or the public.
The Ordinance also adds standards for determining when and how much insurance willbe required,
and makes the knowing violation of a permit a Code violation, in contrast to the present "willful'
standard. The Ordinance includes other clarifying language consistent with these described
changes, as well as general editing of existing provisions.
The proposed changes are the result of a review of the 14-year-old Special Events provisions,
based on fairness and constitutional issues that have been identified through the experience ofother
jurisdictions.
