the staff recommendation.
Councilmember Cunniff supported bringing the item before Council.
Councilmember Overbeck stated there were concerns about the proposal at the neighborhood

has been somewhat backward. He suggested exploring other options for locations and suggested
staff examine other successful programs.
Councilmember Martinez suggested providing notification to parties -in -interest regarding the
topic. City Manager Atteberry stated staff would do so and place the item on Council's agenda.

Councilmember Martinez asked about the timeframe for determining obsolescence. Cameron
Gloss, Planning Manager, replied the City process for a new carrier would be a simple minor
amendment process, which would likely take less than a month.
Councilmember Martinez asked if staff would still identify'the tower as being obsolete if a new
carrier was in the process of being found. Gloss replied the condition has been written such that
the time would begin when the equipment stops functioning; however, Council could consider
alternative language.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if notice is provided to the neighborhood when the facility begins
operations. Mr. Powers replied that is not typical; however, they are happy to do so.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if staff could help facilitate a notification. Frickey replied in the
affirmative.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if annual radio frequency monitoring could occur. Ms. Reagan
replied RF emissions cannot be considered when approving or denying a telecommunication
facility, pursuant to the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996; however, in order for Verizon
to maintain its FCC license for the facility, radio frequency emissions must be monitored to ensure
compliance.
Councilmember Martinez asked how staff arrived at the 6-month timeframe for obsolescence.
Frickey replied it seemed reasonable to staff.
Mayor Pro Tern Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to adopt Ordinance
No. 136, 2017, on Second Reading, with the following condition of approval: the equipment and
tower must be removed if they are not operated for any reason for a continuous period of 270
consecutive days.
Councilmember Cunniff supported the motion.
Councilmember Overbeck asked if an amendment would be needed to direct staff to provide notice
of the facility beginning operation. Frickey replied staff has that direction.
Mayor Pro Tem Horak stated the notice is not a condition of approval.
City Manager Atteberry stated the notification should not be precedent -setting.
Mayor Troxell suggested Councilmember Overbeck could bring the notification issue up under
Other Business and clarified the notification is not part of the motion or approval.
The vote on the motion was as follows: Yeas: Martinez, Stephens, Overbeck, Troxell, Cunniff,
and Horak. Nays: none.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
(Secretary's Note: The Council took a brief recess at this point in the meeting.)

Mayor Pro Tern Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Cunniff, to reopen the public
hearing on Ordinance No. 136, 2017. Yeas: Troxell, Overbeck, Martinez, Cunniff, Stephens, and
Horak. Nays: none.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
Clay Frickey, City Planner, detailed the three possible conditions. He stated the change of the
design when the surrounding area redevelops may need a metric to be included for the triggering
of the design change. Staff would also like Council's direction in terms of the type of process that
would be required. Given these practical difficulties, staff is not recommending adoption of the
first condition. He stated the Fort Collins Building Code already requires additional wind load
standards; therefore, staff finds the existing requirements are sufficient. The Land Use Code deals
with inactive uses as they pertain to non -conforming uses. Those uses expire after 24 months.
Staff is recommending removal of a functionally obsolete tower after 6 months of inactivity.
Michael Powers, Atlas Tower, agreed with staff regarding the practical concerns of the first
condition. He also stated that type of requirement is unprecedented and questioned whether it is
appropriate. Regarding the second condition, Mr. Powers stated the existing Building Code
standards are quite rigorous. He requested the timeframe for removal of an obsolete tower be
extended to one year because the tower is unlikely to be co -locatable given its height; therefore, if
Verizon opts to discontinue its lease and remove its equipment, it will take more than 6 months to
find a new tenant, complete proper due diligence, and go through the City's planning process.
Melissa Reagan, Sherman and Howard, outside counsel to Verizon Wireless, requested Council
not impose any of the three additional conditions.
Nancy Eason supported adoption of the third condition for removal of the tower if it becomes
obsolete. She asked who would be responsible for removal of the tower should Atlas go out of
business and asked how anyone will know if the tower is not working. She also asked if the
neighborhood will be notified when operations begin and stated the APU processs took too long.
Tanja Andreas questioned how anyone will know the tower is working. She suggested the use of
third -party expertise in the future.
Mr. Powers stated it is unlikely this site will be unused as there is a large demand for the location.
He reiterated it would take more than 6 months for a new tenant to go through the process. He
stated their leases typically have the landlord taking the place of Atlas should the company go
bankrupt and stated there is almost no way the company going bankrupt would result in the tower
not being used. He stated the City can make appointments with Atlas or Verizon to check that the
equipment is operating.
Councilmember Martinez asked who would be responsible for removing an obsolete tower.
Frickey replied it would be the responsibility of Atlas Tower to remove it upon notice from the
City.
Councilmember Martinez asked about the time period for determining obsolescence. Frickey
replied the time would start when the facility became inactive; however, there is currently staff
who monitors cell facilities to determine whether they are active. Deputy City Manager Mihelich
stated the amount of electricity going into the facility and the radio frequencies coming off the
tower can be monitored by staff.

In order for the City to construct these improvements, the City will need to acquire certain property
interests adjacent to the project area. The project will affect seven properties. Acquisitions will include
fee purchase right-of-way, permanent utility and drainage easements and temporary construction
easements. Staff has had contact with all affected property owners. Timely acquisition of the property
is necessary to meet the anticipated construction schedule. Staff fully intends to negotiate in good faith
with the affected owners and is optimistic that all property negotiations can be completed prior to the
start of the Project. Staff is requesting authorization of eminent domain for all property acquisitions for
the Project only if such action is deemed necessary.
Mayor Pro Tern Horak made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Overbeck, to postpose
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 005, 2018, to February 6, 2018.

• " DISCUSSION ITEMS
19.
as Amended on Second R)
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on December 19, 2017 approves with
conditions, the Long Pond Wireless Telecommunications Addition of Permitted Use request (APU)
being made in conjunction with PDP160018. The APU would allow the addition of wireless
telecommunication facilities as a permitted use on a parcel of land located in the Low Density Mixed -
Use Neighborhood (LMN) zone district. Wireless telecommunication facilities are not a permitted use
in the LMN. PDPI60018 proposes a 60-foot tall wireless telecommunications facility disguised as a
silo at 2008 Turnberry Road. On First Reading, three conditions of approval were adopted.- one
condition making the APU validity contingent upon subsequent Planning and Zoning Board approval
of the associated PDP, one that reduced the height of the facility to 45 feet or less, and one requiring
that the facility be located further north so it is closer to existing outbuildings. The City Council directed
staff to research three additional conditions of approval.
Mayor Troxell discussed the item and stated Council requested staff input regarding three possible
additional conditions of approval: the tower's design be changed upon redevelopment of the parcel
or surrounding areas, the tower must exceed current City structural requirements for cell towers,
primarily with respect to wind loads, and the tower must be removed when it becomes obsolete.
To consider the possibility of adopting one or more of these conditions, Council will consider a
motion to reopen the hearing for the limited purpose of taking additional evidence related to these
conditions. Mayor Troxell outlined the process should the motion to reopen the hearing carry.
Councilmember Summers recused himself from this item as he was absent for the meeting during
which First Reading occurred.
City Attorney Daggett stated the project development plan related to this project is scheduled to
be considered by the Planning and Zoning Board Thursday, January 18. That proceeding will be
separate and a new record will be created at that time.

16. Resolution 2018-006 Authorizing the Lease of 11.85 Acres of City -Owned Natural Area Property
to Hageman Earth Cycle. LLC. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is for City Council to consider the proposed lease of approximately 11.85
acres of land to Roger Hageman, Hageman Earth Cycle (HEC). In January 2017, staff asked Council
to consider selling 11.85 acres of land; Council did not approve the sale based in part on the Land
Conservation and Stewardship Board's recommendation to not sell the land. Council asked staff to
develop land disposition and land -leasing guidelines for its review. Four months ago, staff was
directed by the City Manager to seek Council approval of a long-term lease rather than a sale.
17. Resolution 2018-007 Making Appointments to Various Boards. Commissions. and Authorities
of the City of Fort Collins. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to appoint 15 individuals to fill vacancies that currently exist on 6 various
boards and commissions, due to expiration of terms on December 31, 2017. Applications were
solicited during September, October, and November. Council teams interviewed applicants during
December and January. Vacancies still exist on the Building Review Board; Housing Catalyst; and
the Senior Advisory Board, work will continue to fill those vacancies.

The City Manager approved and signed both agreements. Pursuant to City Code Section 1-22 the City.
Manager has the authority to enter into both IGAs because the IGAs do not require the direct, monetary
payment of more than $5,000 from the City, after.reimbursement from Loveland, and the City Manager
has determined that the IGAs do not entail significant policy decisions.
Budget. (Adopted)
The purpose of this item is to appropriate unanticipated grant revenue in the General Fund for the
Environmental Services Radon Program. This appropriation includes $7,961 of grant revenues
provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to support radon
testing and mitigation programs. The grant directly supports radon activities identified in the

the Budgeting for Outcomes (BFO) process for use in 2017. However, the procurement process will
not be completed until early February 2018, requiring the IT Department to submit this request ahead
of the reappropriation process in order to enter into a contract with a vendor to avoid additional costs
and delays.
The purpose of this item is to update a number of provisions within Chapter 23, Articles IX (Natural
Areas) and X (Parks) of the City Code. The Code changes are intended to more accurately reflect
administrative responsibilities regarding permits, clarify various provisions, and provide additional
consistency in provisions regulating activities in Natural Areas and Parks as stated in the City Code.

B. Second Reading of Ordinance No. 011, 2018, Amending the Code of the City of Fort Collins to

Ordinance No. 010, 2018, appropriates $1.8M of funding to support first year start-up costs associated
with recruiting and hiring personnel, consulting, equipment, and branding to support the initiative.
Funding would come from the General Fund as a loan to the Light and Power Fund as start-up funding
until bonds can be issued to support the total broadband build out. The bonds will be structured
allowing a planned repayment to the General Fund of start-up costs supported by this appropriation.
The reserves will be restored from the proceeds of the bond issuance, pending the Council's adoption
of the corresponding bond ordinance (currently scheduled for the March 20 and April 3 meetings). The
operation and maintenance expenses table in the "Whereas" clause for Ordinance No. 010, 2018, has
been updated for Second Reading to reflect consistent data with the table used in the agenda item
summary and staff presentation on First Reading. The revised table reflects the latest final planned
budget for first year operation and maintenance expenses.

its provision of broadband facilities and services and to receive and expend the General Fund loan
through the Light and Power Fund. The changes in Ordinance No. 011, 2018, relate to the Charter
amendment the voters approved this past November that grants to Council the power to authorize the
Electric Utility to acquire, construct, provide, fund and contract for telecommunication facilities and
services and that grants to the Enterprise of the Electric Utility the power to issue bonds to fund these
facilities and services. These changes also include assigning to the City Manager the direct
responsibility to administer and supervise the Electric Utility's provision of broadband facilities and
services. In response to discussion during consideration on First Reading, the revision to Code
Section 2-491 presented on First Reading has been removed from Ordinance No. 011, 2018. A
needed conforming change to the definition of "service area" in Code Section 1-2 has been substituted
in as Section 2 of Ordinance No. 011, 2018. These revisions are shown in the Second Reading version
of the Ordinance No. 011, 2018. Both Ordinances were unanimously adopted on First Reading on
January 2, 2018.
The purpose of this item is to appropriate funds to cover the costs of entering into two

COLT. The second IGA supplies a contractual employee to COLT to act as the COLT Transit
Operations Manager under the supervision of the City of Fort Collins, Transfort (the Transit
