Located South of Fort. Collins Jointly Owned by the City of Fort Collins and the City of
Loveland for Dryland Wheat Farming for up to Five Years.
This natural area was purchased in March of 2000. The City of Loveland, Larimer County,
GOCO Funds and the City of Fort Collins participated in the purchase. An
Intergovernmental Agreement about this property was entered into on March 22, 2000. As
per this Intergovernmental Agreement, the purchasing participants designated that the City
of Loveland has a 75 % interest in the Property and the City of Fort Collins has the remaining
25% interest in the Property. Further, the Intergovernmental Agreement specifies that the
City of Loveland is the managing entity for this property.
Since the purchase of this property, the property has been used for dryland farming. Of the
total 785 acres, only 550 acres of land are being used for rotational wheat crops, with 275
acres in crop production annually and the remaining land being fallow. The terms of the
lease will require payment of $10 per acre for the acreage planted. The lease can be
automatically renewed each year on July 31 with a final termination date of July 31, 2008.
The Natural Resources Advisory Board considered and recommended that the Council
authorize the proposed lease of this property at its meeting on October 6, 2004. This
Ordinance was adopted 6-0 (Councilmember Bertschy was absent) on First Reading on
October 19, 2004.

9. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 165, 2004, Amendina Section 7.5-61 of the Ci1y Code by
Modifying the "Pavement Impact Fee" and Adding a "Utility Locate Coring Fee".
Ordinance No. 165, 2004, which was adopted 6-0 (Councilmember Bertschy was absent) on
First Reading on October 19, 2004, amends City Code Section 7.5-61 to adjust the amount
of the Pavement Impact Fee and to establish a new Utility Locate Coring Fee. It is intended
that these changes be made in conjunction with the 2005 budget appropriation ordinance
being presented to Council at this same date.
10. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 166, 2004, Appropriating Prior Year Use Tax Carryover
Reserves for the Manufacturing Equipment Use Tax Rebate Program.
In March 1996, Council approved a temporary rebate program for use taxes paid on
manufacturing equipment. The goal of the program is to maintain the local economic base
by providing modest tax relief to manufacturing concerns in Fort Collins. The program has
provided rebates to manufacturers for use taxes paid during the calendar years 1996 through
2001. The rebate program was discontinued for calendar year 2002 due to challenging
economic conditions. Council reinstated the program in January of 2004 for a two-year
period. Under the rebate program, the payments are made in arrears. This is a rebate of
taxes paid in 2003 and not a tax exemption. Six companies have filed applications this year
for a total of $172,093 in rebates. Based on review of the applications, the amount was
reduced from $265,000 on First Reading. The source of funding for the rebate program is
the sales and use tax fund, specifically the use tax carry-over reserve. A listing of the six
companies has been added to the agenda summary.
Ordinance No. 166, 2004, was adopted 6-0 (Councilmember Bertschy was absent) on First
Reading on October 19, 2004.
11. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 167, 2004, Adopting a Proposed District -Precinct Map.

municipal election for the purposes of (1) determining the eligibility for District Council

for transfer to the General Fund to cover the 2005 one-time expenditures approved by

increases the total City Appropriations to $465,122,888.
