After the 1997 flood, the property owner of2519 Dorset Court filed a lawsuit against the City of
Fort Collins. As part of a mediated settlement agreement, the City obtained title to the property.
During the initial marketing attempt to sell the property, staff contacted the Fort Collins Housing
Authority to see if the Housing Authority was interested in buying it. The Authority was not
interested in purchasing the single-family residence, because the Authority is primarily interested
in multi -family housing stock since its funding is based on a per bedroom basis formula. As a result,
staff began seriously marketing the property in December of 2001 using the City's bid process and
the assistance ofthe Fort Collins Board of Realtors. In addition, a "For Sale" sign was placed on
the property to attract prospective buyers. Ordinance No. 071, 2002, was unanimously adopted
on First Reading on May 7, 2002, authorizing the sale of city -owned property at 2519 Dorset
Court.

State Parks and Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Conservation Trust Fund Trail
Acquisition and Development Project.
Ordinance No. 045, 2002, was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 19, 2002.
The Parks and Recreation Policy Plan (adopted by City Council in 1996) identifies trails that link
Fort Collins to surrounding communities, including Laporte. The Laporte Area Planning
Commission supports the trail connection. Residents of the Laporte area have expressed support
for the trail as a needed recreation facility and as a pedestrian/bike friendly route to access Fort
Collins. Existing roads in the area have very limited shoulders and create safety concerns for
pedestrian or bicycle use.
The Poudre Trail presently ends at Taft Hill Road. The Laporte Trail connection will start onthe
west side of Taft Hill Road where the trail will follow the abandoned rail line north and west for
about 3/4 of a mile. At this point, the trail will enter the Hyde Natural Area. The trail right-of-way
along the rail line will be nearly 100-feet in width and will allow for the trail to meander and
provides room for landscaping.
8. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 067, 2002. Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the General
