and agreements between the City of Fort Collins and Larimer County contained in the
Intergovernmental Agreement for the Fort Collins Urban Growth Area, the City will agree
to consider annexation of property in the UGA when the property is eligible for annexation
according to State law. This property gains the required 1/6 contiguity to existing City limits
from common boundaries with the Staley Annexation (May, 2001) to the north, the Fossil

18. Resolution 2005-127 Adopting the City's 2006 Legislative Policy Agenda.
Each year the Legislative Review Committee (LRC) develops a legislative agenda to assist
in the analysis of pending legislation. The proposed 2006 Legislative Policy Agenda has
been updated from the 2005 document and was reviewed and approved by the Legislative
Review Committee. Changes are highlighted below. This document will be used as a guide
for the upcoming 2006 General Assembly and the second session of the 109' Congress. The
purpose of the Legislative Policy Agenda is to articulate the City's position on common
legislative topics. It will be used by Council members and staff to determine positions on
pending legislation and as a general reference for state legislators and our congressional
delegation.
19. Resolution 2005-128, Adopting the a City's Economic Vision and Values.
On November 15, 2005 City Council adopted the 2005-2007 Policy Agenda outlining the
policy initiatives Council wishes to undertake during the two-year term. One of the policy
goals included under the mission of "Improve Economic Health" is the development of an
economic plan.
As a foundation for the economic plan, Council members recognized the need to develop an
economic vision and a set of economic core values. Members of the Economic Vitality and
Sustainability Action Group (EVSAG) provided recommendations that assisted Council in
this effort.
This Resolution adopts both the economic vision and core values. These two components
will, in turn, guide the development of specific strategies and actions contained within the
economic plan, which is scheduled to be completed in 2006.

16. Resolution 2005-125 Correcting a City Structure Plan Map Color Error Regarding the
Lifestylepging Center on Harmony Road
On July 15, 2003, the City Council adopted Resolution 2003-086 amending the Harmony
Corridor Plan to allow for the potential development of a Lifestyle Shopping Center to be
located north of Harmony Road and west of Ziegler Road, west of Hewlett-Packard.
Specifically, Map 10 of the Harmony Corridor Plan was amended to show a new "Mixed
Use Activity Center" north of Harmony Road and west of Ziegler Road as the potential
location for a Lifestyle Shopping Center.
The amendment to the Harmony Corridor Plan occurred during the process to update City
Plan, the City's Comprehensive Plan. A revised City Structure Plan map was an element of
the update to City Plan. The boundaries of the new Mixed Use Activity Center of the
amended Harmony Corridor Plan was depicted on the revised Structure Plan map
Unfortunately, the color associated with the center was the color for a neighborhood
shopping centerinstead of the color for a Commercial Corridor District, the broadercategory
for a lifestyle shopping center. The Council approved the update to City Plan with the
adoption of Resolution 2004-058 on May 4, 2004, and in doing so approved the wrong color
for the lifestyle shopping center. The purpose of this Resolution is to correct the error and
place the correct Commercial Corridor District color on the Structure Plan map for the
lifestyle shopping center on Harmony Road.
17. Resolution 2005-126Finding Substantial Compliance and Initiating Annexation Proceedings
for the McClelland's Creek PD & PLD Annexation.
The applicant, Stanley K. Everitt, on behalf of the property owners, McCreek, LLC, has
submitted a written petition requesting annexation of 11.93 acres located on the east side of
Lake Ranch Road, approximately 1/8th mile south of Kechter Road between Ziegler Road
to the west and Strauss Cabin Road to the east. McClelland's Creek runs along the east side
of the property. The property is undeveloped and is in the FA-1 Farming District in Larimer
County. The requested zoning for this annexation is LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use
Neighborhood. The surrounding properties are currently zoned FA-1 Farming in Larimer
County to the east, LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood in the City to the north,
LMN - Low Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood in the City to the south, and LMN — Low
Density Mixed -Use Neighborhood in the City to the west.
The proposed Resolution makes a finding that the petition substantially complies with the
Municipal Annexation Act, determines that a hearing should be established regarding the
annexation, and directs that notice be given of the hearing. The hearing will be held at the
time of first reading of the annexation and zoning ordinances. Not less than thirty days of
prior notice is required by State law.

6. First Reading of Ordinance No.159.2005 Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General
Employees' Retirement Fund.
The City Council created the Plan in 1971 to provide a retirement benefit in addition to the
Social Security system. Oversight is provided by a six -member committee, five of whom are
appointed by Council, the other being the Financial Officer.
The single -sum benefit, approved by City Council in 1998, is designed to be actuarially
neutral to the Plan. When an employee elects to receive a lump sum amount from the Plan,
the liability of providing a future pension benefit to the employee is removed from the Plan.
Although actuarially neutral, voluntary elections of single sum payments reduce the
uncertainty regarding the number of employees for whom the Plan must provide an income
over an unknown period of years. From that standpoint, lump sum payments are considered
financially favorable.
