Use Code so that it coincides with the effective date of the City's new occupancy limit, which

30. First Reading of Ordinance No. 034, 2006, Amending the City Code with Regard to the
Posting of Public Notice of the Meetings of the City Council, Committees of the Council and
City Boards and Commissions.
This Ordinance amends various sections in Chapter 2 of the City Code relating to the posting
of public notice of meetings of the City Council, committees of the Council and City boards
and commissions, to reflect a change in the location of the place of posting, and to clarify
existing language about the types of meetings that need to be posted.
31. First Reading of Ordinance No. 035, 2006, Amending Chapter 23 of the City Code Relating
to the Conveyance of Easements Required to Obtain Utility Service.
Generally, utility services such as electrical service from Public Service Company of
Colorado in areas located outside of the city limits, or natural gas service, are governed by
tariffs that have been approved by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Such tariffs
require that the customer's receipt of service be deemed to create a utility easement for the
installation of service lines and other infrastructure necessary for the service.
The Code requirement that utility easements must be approved by ordinance creates a
substantial impediment to City staffs ability to arrange for utility services for City facilities
and improvements.
To provide a more efficient mechanism for arranging for utility services, staff is requesting
that the City Council amend the City Code to allow the Purchasing Agent, with the approval
of the City Manager, to contract for utility services and grant utility such rights -of -way as
may be required in connection with those services.

of the City of Fort Collins and Classifying for Zoning Purposes the Property Included in the
Boma Annexation to the City of Fort Collins.

time to underground its cable lines under the existing franchise. Comcast is requesting a
postponement to allow more time to meet with City staff to clarify and resolve the matter
before Second Reading of the new franchise occurs.
