City Property to Peter and Crystal Harper.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the conveyance of an access easement on City Property to a
property owner to use as a driveway access to their residential property. The City of Fort Collins
owns a property on Highway 14 near the Munroe Tunnel upstream from the Water Treatment Plant
#1 property. The property was purchased in 1977, in order to manage and protect the City's water
supply. The Harpers own a property adjacent to the City property on which they are building a
residential home. The Harpers discovered that a portion of the driveway constructed for their home
encroached on the City property. The property owners ceased construction and contacted the City

and Mrs. Harper for the 8,400 square foot area of encroachment of the driveway.

B. First Reading of Ordinance No. 032, 2016, Repealing and Reenacting Section 25-284 of the
Code of the City of Fort Collins to Authorize the City's Financial Officer to Compromise and
Settle Claims the City Has Against Taxpayers for the Payment of the Lodging Tax.
The purpose of this item is to grant the Financial Officer the authority to compromise and settle any
actually assessed or potential claim to sales, use and lodging taxes and their related penalties and
interest due to the City under Chapter 25 in an amount up to $100,000 and in excess of $100,000
with the City Manager's approval. The Financial Officer will be required to prepare and retain in
Financial Services' files a written opinion explaining the Financial Officer's reasons for compromising
and settling the claim. A written settlement agreement will also be required for all settlements in

8. First Reading of Ordinance No. 033, 2016, Amending Chapter 17 of the Code of the City of Fort
Collins to Update the Nuisance Gathering Provision.
The purpose of this item is to update the 2005 nuisance gathering provision to aid law enforcement
in effectively addressing problem properties where social gatherings or parties result in unlawful
behaviors.
9. First Reading of Ordinance No. 034, 2016, Amending Section 23-354 of the Code of the City of Fort
Collins Regarding Income Targets for the Land Bank Program.
The purpose of this item is to amend City Code to allow communities developed on parcels from the
Land Bank Program to be targeted to rental households making 60% area median income, as long
as the overall community targets still average no more than 50% area median income. While this
does increase the allowable income limits for some units to add flexibility, it requires the resulting
community to meet the original target range overall.
10. First Reading of Ordinance No. 035, 2016 Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to Clarify
On -Bill Utility Financing Terms and Increase the Outstanding Loan Balance Available for the On -Bill
Utility Loan Program.
The purpose of this item is to revise the available capital funds for On -Bill Financing (OBF) program
from Utilities reserve funds and to clarify interest rate language in relevant Utilities rate ordinances.
Between July 2015 and December 2015, the rate of loan participation in the Home Efficiency Loan
Program (HELP, aka OBF) increased by 500% over the previous 2+ years.
OBF capital comes from Light & Power and Water reserve funds, with the source being determined
by the project type. The funding is a "balance sheet transaction," where the funds are accounted for
by moving from reserves to accounts receivable. As such, loan funding is not a typical expenditure or
a budget item. Council has authorized Utilities to maintain a maximum outstanding balance of
$800,000 for the loan program. Based on staff's recommendation, the Ordinance would increase the
maximum outstanding balance limit to $1.6M. The additional funding would be loaned at a 4%
interest rate, which is within the range approved by Council for the program in January 2015 and
remains the Chief Financial Officer's recommendation. Staff plans to return to Council in conjunction
with the 2017 rate ordinance with options and recommendations for potential transition to third party
capital for OBF.
11. Items Relating to the Maverik First Annexation.
A. Resolution 2016-024 Setting Forth Findings of Fact and Determinations Regarding the Maverik

B. Public Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 036, 2016, Annexing the Property Known as
the Maverik First Annexation to the City of Fort Collins, Colorado.
