Second Reading of Ordinance No. 142, 2005, 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") 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.

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.
