Staff requests that Second Reading of the Kechter Farm Annexation and Zoning Ordinances
(Ordinance Nos. 005 and 006, 2014) be postponed until April 15, 2014. The final plat approval
should be considered by the Board of County Commissioners in April. Under the Intergovernmental

April 15 meeting will honor the City's commitment in the IGA.
3. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 043, 2014, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the
General Fund and Authorizing the Transfer of Appropriated Amounts Between Accounts and
Proiects for the Multi -Jurisdictional Northern Colorado Drug Task Force.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2014, appropriates federal
grant monies received from the Office of National Drug Control Policy ($95,853) and the Department
of Justice ($57,722) to fund a portion of the investigation of illegal narcotics activities in Larimer
County by the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force. These grant awards will be used to offset
operating expenses for each participating agency.
In addition, because of the significant decrease in federal funds available for drug enforcement, the
Northern Colorado Drug Task Force is transferring $236,160 from its forfeiture reserve account to its
2014 operating budget to cover unfunded expenses. The majority of the forfeiture reserve account is
made up of assets seized from people engaged in illegal drug activities.
4. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2014, Authorizing the Purchasing Agent to Enter into an
Agreement for the Financing by Lease -Purchase of Vehicles and Equipment and Appropriating the
Amount Needed for Such Purchases.
5.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2014, authorizes the lease -
purchase of vehicles and equipment for the cost of $2,941,469. Payments at the 2.4% interest rate
will not exceed $313,029.11 in 2014. Money for 2014 lease -purchase payments is included in the
2014 budget. The effect of the debt position on the City's financial rating will be to raise the total City
debt to 2.38%. A competitive process was used to select Pinnacle Public Finance for this lease. A
2014 Finance Department analysis of current and historical equipment lease financing arrangements
showed that lease -purchase is in the best interest of the City given the normal spread between lease
rate and reinvestment rate.
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 18, 2014, establishes a new
process for selecting special legal counsel and for considering whether the City should waive
conflicts of interest that such counsel may have in particular situations.

Recreation Fund for the Adaptive Recreation Opportunities Program Paralvmpic Sport Club.
