Chapter 26 of the City Code to enable Utilities,to, provide f riancing and on -bill servicing of loans
for energy efficiency, water efficiency and renewable en ?itvprojects. Utilities is proposing to pilot

efficiency upgrades in the residential sector. These upgrades reduce our need for future energy
resources, reduce our environmental footprint, promote local economic health by investing in our
built environment and improve the health, comfort and safety of our homes. "
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, stated the money spent by the City on energy efficiency
programs is being misspent and he opposed the program.

Other Business
Mayor Pro Tem Ohlson asked about a photo sent to Council by Gary Wockner showing new fencing
along the Poudre River. He requested information regarding what is allowed by easements and the
ways in which impacts are minimized for those holding easements. City Manager Atteberry replied
he would return with additional information.
Councilmember Horak discussed a packet of information he received which referenced housing
impacts around the CSU campus. He stated those individuals have suggested a moratorium or
examination of the Code regarding density. He suggested Council examine the density issues in the
near future and requested a staff response to the materials submitted.
Councilmember Horak received support from multiple Councilmembers and City Manager
Atteberry stated he would provide a response to Council.

Councilmember Manvel noted the pilot program will provide a great deal of insight into the number
of users and the effectiveness of the program.
Mayor Pro Tern Ohlson asked if a combination of total consumption and time of use rates could be
an option. Janonis replied tiered time of use rates do exist and staff will provide several options for
Council to consider after the implementation of the AMI program.
Mayor Weitkunat discussed a memo from the Women's Commission which questioned the income
limitation of 60% of the average area median income and suggested tapering off assistance rather
than stopping at a set point. The Commission also asked if the self-sufficiency standard for Larimer
County was considered.
Smith stated the income threshold was determined based on what has been used for housing and
utility assistance, which are typically about 150% of the federal poverty level. The 60% of the area
median income represents 185% of the federal poverty level. He stated he is unfamiliar with the
self-sufficiency scale but noted there is a financial appeal that can be made to participate in the
program.
Janonis stated'a payment assistance program also exists for hardship cases. Clements noted the
program is funded by other customers who donate money to aid customers who are in danger of
having power turned off. Additionally, the City works with public assistance organizations to help
people in need.
Mayor Weitkunat asked that staff address the Women's Commission's concern relating to assistance
for those in the second and third tiers. Smith replied the assistance could have been staggered over
more than one tier, but ultimately the assistance is going to be reached by more customers if it is in
the first tier rather than the second or third tiers. The air conditioning assistance does span the first
and second tiers.
Councilmember Manvel noted a gradual tapering of assistance could be preferable; however, the
simplicity and practicality of the 60% figure is more reasonable.
Councilmember Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Poppaw, to adopt Ordinance
No. 034, 2012, on Second Reading.
Councilmember Manvel stated 80% of utility bills will be lower under tiered rates and this
Ordinance shows sensitivity to address the higher rates for populations in need, which would have
occurred with or without tiered rates.
Councilmember Troxell stated he would not support the motion as the program was developed
without a need and he suggested the tiered rates are going to present a problem in the summer.
Councilmember Manvel noted this debate is not about tiered rates but is about a medical assistance
program. There is a utility expense challenge in this community and individuals with medical
necessity deserve this assistance. He urged Councilmember Troxell to support the motion.
Councilmember Troxell noted the payment assistance program was never explored as an option to.
aid in payments for.those with medical equipment needs.

"EXECUTIVE SUMAMR k
The MedicalAssistance Program is a pilotprogram which is aimed atprovidingfinancial assistance
for customers who are in the tiered residential electric rate class and who have electrical durable
medical equipment in their household. Theprogram isfocused on providinga discount to qualifying
customers by reducing the cost associated with the electrical needs ofdurable medical equipment.
The program also provides a discount for those eligible customers with qualifying medical
conditions who use air conditioning during the summer billing months. The pilot program will
include an income limitation of 60% of the Area Median Income. The amount of the discount is
consistent with 150 kWh per month of electric energy usage to those customers with durable medical
equipment and consistent with an additional 350 kWh per month of electric energy usage for those
with qualifying medical conditions who use air conditioning during the summer billing months.
Staff will prepare a report for the City Council on the first year of the pilot program before.June
2013.
This Ordinance was adopted on First Reading by vote of 5-1(Nays: Troxell; Kottwitz absent). On
Second Reading, the Ordinance has been amended in the following ways:
One of the recital clauses has been amended to reference increased wholesale energy costs
as the basis for the assistance program and another recital clause is deleted.
The Code language has been re -worded and reformatted to actually establish the discounted
rates, rather than simply stating the maximum amounts of the discounts, and to clarify that
the discounts may apply either to electrical durable medical equipment or air conditioning,
or both, depending upon which is medically necessaryfor that particular customer. "
Lance Smith, Utilities Strategic Financial Planning Manager, discussed the pilot program details.
Changes made since First Reading include a note that increased wholesale energy costs are part of
the basis for the program; the discount is rate based and is pro -rated based on usage; and a statement
that the discount is consistent with expected usage for durable medical equipment of 150 kilowatt
hours per month and air conditioning of 350 kilowatt hours per month.
Lori Clements, Customer Support Manager, stated customers who have specifically inquired about
this program will continue to be contacted as well as other organizations serving affected
populations.
Eric Sutherland, 3520 Golden Currant, opposed the details of the program and stated it invites abuse
and is not what was requested.
Holly (no last name given), Highlands Ranch resident, spoke representing Colorado Citizens Smart
Meter Awareness, asked how this program will function once the AMI system is installed.
Brian Janonis, Utilities Executive Director, stated a new evaluation of rate structures, including
possibly time of use rates, will be considered once the AM] system is installed at the end of 2013.
Councilmember Troxell'asked how this program will be applied should time of use rates be
implemented. Janonis replied this program would need to be modified as it involves a specific rate
schedule. This pilot program will be evaluated before June 2013.

This is a request to annex 3.32 acres located on the east side of North Taft Hill Road,
approximately 1,750 feet north of West Vine Drive. The property is developed and is in the
FA - Farming District in Larimer County. The surrounding properties are currently zoned

The applicant, SidehilI Investment LLC., the property owner, has submitted a written
petition requesting annexation of 17.34 acres located on the east side of Wood Street,
approximately 1,320 feet east of North Shields Street. The property is developed and is in
the O - Open District in Larimer County. The requested zoning for this annexation is UE —
Urban Estate. The surrounding properties are currently zoned O — Open in the Larimer
County to the south and west, and POL — Public Open Lands in the City (Lee Martinez Park
and McMurry Natural Area) to the east and north.
This annexation request is in conformance with the State of Colorado Revised Statutes as
they relate to annexations, the City of Fort Collins Comprehensive Plan, and the Larimer
County and City of Fort Collins Intergovernmental Agreements.
The only known issue with this annexation is the previously expressed concern by
community members and one Councilmember with the LOMR-Fill (Letter of Map Revision -
Fill) process that occurred while the property is still in the County. While the floodplain
regulations for the Poudre River Basin generally match across the City and the County, the
City conditions its approval of LOMR-Fill applications in a way that the County does not.
In this instance, the LOMR-Fill was approved by the County and portions of the site have
been removed from the floodplain prior to annexation. Remaining portions of the site that
are in the floodplain will be required to comply with the City's floodplain regulations.
