Second Reading of Ordinance No. 042, 2002, Appropriating Prior Year Reserves in the Building Community Choices Northside Aztlan Community Center Replacement Capital Project and Authorizing the Project to Proceed. This Ordinance, which was unanimously adopted on First Reading on March 5, 2002, appropriates S 100,000 from the Building Community Choices, Community Enhancement Projects Fund. This Fund contains accumulated sales tax to replace the current Northside Aztlan Community Center (NACC). City Council has expressed interest in keeping the facility on the current site and on not disrupting operation of the current facility until construction of the new facility is completed. 11. First Reading of Ordinance No. 048, 2002, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the General Fund to be Returned to the Fort Collins Housing Authority to Fund Affordable Housing Related Activities. The Fort Collins Housing Authority (the "Authority") made a payment to the City from its 2001 budget for the sum of $13,334 as a "Payment in Lieu of Taxes" ("PILOT") for public services and facilities. The Authority annually requests that the City refund the money "...to again fund sorely needed affordable housing related activities, to attend the low-income housing needs of Fort Collins residents." Resolution 92-93 reinstated the requirement by the City of the Authority to make the annual PILOT payments to the City. The purpose of the Resolution was to clarify that these funds are the property of the City and not excess Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") funds. The City may spend the PILOT revenues as it deems appropriate in accordance with law, including remitting the funds to the Authority if the Council determines that such remittal serves a valid public purpose. The Council has remitted the PILOT to the Authority annually since 1992. 12. First Readine of Ordinance No. 044, 2002, Appropriating Unanticipated Grant Revenue in the Building Community Choices Community Park Improvements Project and Approving Projects for the Building Community Choices Community Park Improvements Project. The Building Community Choices - Community Park Improvement project is available to fund improvements to existing community parks. Parks and Recreation staff has developed management plans for the parks that include a prioritized list of improvements needed at each park. The improvements set forth in this Ordinance were identified as the most important. City of Fort Collins PAGE 13. First Reading of Ordinance No. 045, 2002, Authorizing a Grant Agreement with Colorado State Parks and Appropriating Unanticivated Revenue in the Conservation Trust Fund Trail Acquisition and Development Project. The City's Parks and Recreation Policy Plan identifies the extension of the Poudre River Trail to Laporte as an important extension of the City's trail system. Efforts to build this trail have been ongoing since 1985. Recent key right-of-way acquisitions enable the City to build the trail in 2002-2003. 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 on the 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. 14. First Readine of Ordinance No. 046 2002 Authorizing the Conveyance of a Non -Exclusive Easement for Storm Drainage for Peak View Development Across Overland Trail Park in Exchange for Conveyance of a .25 Acre Tract of Land. Peak View Development is a residential development planned adjacent to a portion of the north property line of Overland Trail Park. The development needs to convey stormwater flows to a pond located on Park property. The pond serves as storage for stormwater flows and irrigation water for the park. The easement will define where a pipe to convey stormwater flows is located on the park. The stormwater pipe will daylight into the pond. The Peak View Development will be improving a portion of land (about 0.25 acre) adjacent to the park that is unneeded for its development. This area is unusable for development since it is about 25 feet wide by about 425 feet long and is located south of a road along the north side of the Park. Costs to improve this area with landscaping and irrigation are estimated at about $25,000 and will be the responsibility of the development. Upon acceptance of the work by the City, the .25 acre tract of land will be deeded to the City and included in the Park. The conveyance of the tract of land and the cost of the landscape/irrigation improvements more than offset the consideration due the City for the stormwater easement.

The easement they submitted for the adjacent property was only granted for 30 years. We need a permanent easement. not acceptable, it was an easement that was They are still trying to get a plat submittal that we will accept. The second hearing of the easement being granted on parks property by council is on April 2nd. We talked of them getting a permit shortly after that date. But it is not going to happen. They have way to many things that they need to wrap up and everything is in there court. In short it is going to be a bit before things are filed. Sheri >>> Ted Shepard 03/26 7:40 AM >>> Sheri, could you give Georgianna a little status report on how we are progressing on the Peak View Final Compliance. I know that we allowed them to do some work for the ditch re -alignment ahead of filing mylars. For our D.T.S., we need to update the system. Thanks, Ted.
