The Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way forms the western boundary. The request complies with the City's Structure Plan Map. The parcel is a part of the larger 435-acre Timberline Annexation which was annexed in 1997 as an enclave: Upon annexation, all parcels contained within the Timberline Annexation were placed into T, Transition zone district. The Transition zone requires that City Council change the zoning to another zone district within 60 days of the Planning and Zoning Board hearing of December 8, 2005. 30. First Reading of Ordinance No. 171, 2005. Amending Section 2474 of the City Code Pertaining to the Membership of the Fort Collins Housing Authority. The Board of Commissioners of the Fort Collins Housing Authority has requested that its membership be decreased from nine members to seven members because a seven -member body would be more manageable and would still allow forproper representation from related fields and backgrounds. Section 29-4-205, C.R.S., provides that the Housing Authority shall consist of no more than nine commissioners appointed by the Council. This Ordinance would amend Section 2-474(2) of the City Code to reflect the change recommended by the Commissioners. C. 31. First Reading of Ordinance No. 172.2005, Amending Chapter 26 of the City Code to Revise Sewer Plant Investment Fees. This is a housekeeping ordinance to amend the sewer plant investment fee. Ordinance No. 134, 2005, was adopted by Council on November 15, 2005. Council approved Ordinance No. 134, 2005 with the intent to phase in one-third of the increases proposed in the 2005 plant investment fee study. The Ordinance includes fees calculated for high strength commercial customers based on one-third of full implementation; however, corresponding flows were not adjusted to reflect the same. This Ordinance will reduce the flows used to calculate the fees for high strength commercial customers in order to comply with Council's original intent and direction. This housekeeping change will only affect commercial customers with high strength discharges. Residential and commercial customers with normal strength discharges are not impacted.

Appropriating Prior Years Use Tax Carryover Reserves for the Temporary Manufacturing Equipment Use Tax Rebate Program, In March 1996, City Council approved a Manufacturing Equipment Use Tax Rebate Program ("Rebate Program'j for use tax paid on manufacturing equipment. The goal of the program was to maintain the local economic base by providing modest tax relief to manufacturers located in Fort Collins. The Rebate Program has provided rebates to manufacturers for the calendar years 1996 through 2001. The Rebate Program was suspended for calendar year 2002 due to economic conditions. Council reinstated the program in January of 2004 for a two year period to coincide with the biennial budget. Under the Rebate Program, the rebate payments are paid by the City during the year following the year in which the use tax was remitted by the vendor. This is a rebate of taxes paid in 2004 and not a tax exemption. Twelve companies have filed applications this year for a total of $168,000 in rebates. The source of funding for the Rebate Program is the sales and use tax fund, specifically the use tax carry-over reserve. This Ordinance was unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 15, 2005. 8. Second Readine of Ordinance No 144 2005 Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue and Prior Year Reserves in the General Fund for the Restorative Justice Youth Conferencing Program. A grant in the amount of $20,000 has been received from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice for salaries associated with the continued operation of the Restorative Justice Youth Conferencing Program. Restorative justice is an alternative method of holding a young offender accountable by facilitating a meeting with the youth, the victim and members of the community to determine the harm done by the crime, and what should be done to repair the harm. By learning to understand the impact of their actions on the victim and community, criminal justice officials are optimistic that repeat offenses by these youth will be reduced.
