The CityClerk's Office annually prepares a manual for members of boards and commissions which
includes membership lists, descriptions ofeach board and commission, meeting schedules, conflict
ofinterest guidelines, appeal procedures, and general informationregarding membership limitations,

of the Manual to correct the omission and to provide a policy regarding meeting quorums.
19. First Reading of Ordinance No. 001 .2002. Clarifying the Description of Ditch and Pipe Line
Rights -of -Way Previously Abandoned by the City in Accordance with Ordinance No. 25,
1999.
In 1999, the City Council formally recognized the abandonment of certain rights -of -way that
had been granted to the City 1882, as of 1906. The City then disclaimed its interest in the
underlying property, subject to two water line easements for existing water pipelines on that
property.
Since that time, the owner of the property has discovered an error in the legal description used
to quiet his title in the property in 1999. As a result, a new quiet title action has been initiated,
based on the corrected legal description of that property.
In order to confirm that the 1882 rights on the property as correctly described were abandoned
by the City as of 1906, subject to correction of the 1999 water line easements if necessary, this
Ordinance expressly acknowledges that abandonment by reference to the corrected legal
description. Upon completion of the Ordinance, the City will disclaim its interest in the subject
1882 rights -of -way on the newly described property in the quiet title action that has been filed
by the property owner.

14. Resolution 2002-003 Setting Forth the Intention of the City to Assign its Year 2002 Private
Activity Bond Allocationto the Colorado Housing and Finance Authorityto Finance Multi -Family
Housing Revenue Bonds for the Caribou Apartments Project.
In early December 2001, Mr. Marc Hendricks and Mr. Rodger Hara, representatives of the
Caribou Apartments Project (the "Project"), contacted staffmembers ofthe Advance Planning and
Finance Departments. They have requested the City consider assigning its annual allocation of
private activity bonds to the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority ("CHFA") for the purpose
of acquiring property, constructing and equipping a multi -family housing project in the northeast
part Fort Collins. This development would qualify as an Affordable Housing Project. The project
is located near the corner of the intersection of Timberline and Caribou Roads. A total of 192
dwelling units will be included in the project. Of the total, 87 (45%) of the units will be affordable
to persons whose incomes do not exceed 60% of the Area Median Income, which include 14 units
reserved for families whose incomes do not exceed 50% of the AMI. The remaining units will be
leased at market rental rates.
Adoption of this Resolution would allow CHFA to issue up to $16 million in tax-exempt private
activitybonds forthe purpose of constructing the project. The issuance is contingent on the Project
using an additional allocation from CHFA. The proposal is consistent with the City's adopted
policies regarding the issuance ofmulti-family rental housing bonds. The Affordable Housing Board
reviewed the project at its meeting on January 3, 2002. The Board supports the proposal.
