the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice for the Fort Collins Police Services Larime
Multi -Jurisdictional • •
For the past ten years, Fort Collins Police Services has applied to the Colorado Division of
Criminal Justice for federal drug grant monies to help fund investigation of illegal narcotics
activities. This year Fort Collins once again joined with the Loveland Police Department,
Larimer County Sheriffs Department and Colorado State University Police Department in
one application for funding for the multi jurisdictional task force to be administered by the
City of Fort Collins. As administrator of the 1997-1998 grant, Police Services will assure
funding to the other participating agencies for their share of the federal funds. The City has
recently received notification of a grant award in the amount of $209,846. The participating
agencies will be providing matching funds in the amount of $209,847. Fort Collins' portion
of the match is $100,424, which is met through application of the budgeted salary and fringe
benefits of an existing officer and Secretary III, who are assigned to the drug task force via
the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Additionally, the Larimer County Sheriffs
Department and Loveland Police Department are each contributing $15,000 to complete the
funding of a Fort Collins Police Lieutenant to manage the project.

On December 20, 1994, Council adopted Resolution 94-211 which authorized the purchase
of the Old Colorado and Southern Freight Depot (Old Depot) site located at 135 LaPorte
Avenue. Storm Drainage funds in the amount of $690,000 were used to purchase the Old
Depot site with the intent to restore the building and utilize it for office space for the
Stormwater Utility. Resolution 94-211 also stated that the Storm Drainage Fund would be
reimbursed by January 31, 1997 for the cost, including interest, of acquiring any portion of
the property which, according to the then current plans for the property, will not be used for
Stormwater Utility purposes. Resolution 97-61 extended the time allowed for reimbursement
from January 31, 1997 to December 31, 1997.
In late 1996, it was decided that the Stormwater Utility would relocate to the Utility Services
Center at 700 Wood Street rather than use the Old Depot for office space. The value of the
property at that time plus interest from the purchase date totals $821,363. The Old Town
Drainage Master Plan includes acquisition of drainage easements in Block 32 and Block 33.
Block 32 and Block 33 have been purchased or are under contract by the City with monies
from the General Fund. The amount of credit to the General Fund for the acquisition of
drainage easements by the Stormwater Utility amounts to a total of $246,601, leaving a
balance to be reimbursed to the Storm Drainage Fund of $574,762. This Ordinance was
unanimously adopted on First Reading on November 18, 1997 and appropriates funds for the
purchase of the Old Colorado and Southern Freight Depot site.
