13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 166, 2004, Appropriating Prior Year Use Tax Camover
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 $265,000 in rebates. The source of funding for the rebate program is the sales
and use tax fund, specifically the use tax carry-over reserve.

between City funds is $363,200,943 for 2005.

12. First Reading of Ordinance No. 165, 2004, Amending Section 7.5-61 of the City Code by
Modifying the "Pavement Impact Fee" and Adding a "Utility Locate Coring Fee".
This is a fee adjustment that is necessary in order to catch up with the increased costs of
street construction (inflation) that have occurred since the fee was created five years ago.
The proceeds from the Pavement Impact Fee and the proposed "Utility Locate Coring Fee"
accrue to the Pavement Management Program. These fees are calculated to offset the
adverse impacts of street cuts to the life of the pavement. It is estimated the City will issue
approximately 500 excavation permits in 2005. These fee increases will generate
approximately $15,000 of additional revenue in 2005.
