Following is the staff's memorandum on this item: T
"This Ordinance was adopted by a 6-1 vote on First Reading at the May 21
meeting. At the meeting of April 16, 1985, Council approved the agreement
for the acquisition of the Greenbriar Neighborhood Park site in northeast
Fort Collins on a vote of 4-3. The funding of the purchase was budgeted in
1985, in the amount of $300,000 in the Parkland Fund, listed as New Park
Site Acquisition(s) - Sites to be Determined. In addition to the cost of
the land itself, staff estimated that the City would eventually have to
budget approximately $152,350 for road improvement costs to be paid at some
later date, as residential construction proceeded in that area. This
amount is now estimated to be $156,763. As the purchase agreement for the
property refers to the City's financial obligation with regard to the road
improvements, the funds must be budgeted and appropriated for that purpose
prior to entering into the final purchase agreement."

Resolution Adopting,Findings•and Setting
Forth the Conditions for Approval of the Arbor
Commercial Plaza PUD, Preliminary Plan, Adopted
Following is staff's memorandum on this item:
-287-
June 4, 1985
"Executive Summary
On March 21, 1985, the Council heard an appeal of the January 31, 1985,
decision of the Planning and Zoning Board which granted preliminary
approval to the Arbor Commercial Plaza PUD. When the findings of the
appeal were presented for Council resolution on April 2, 1985, the item was
reconsidered and tabled to May 21, 1985. On May 21, Council voted to
uphold the decision of the Planning and Zoning Board by approving the
preliminary plan of the Arbor Commercial Plaza PUD with the condition that
the developer mitigate the environmental impacts of the proposed project by
a payment of $25,000.
Background
When initially considering this appeal, Council voted to approve the Arbor
PUD with the conditions that Mail Creek remain open and that existing trees
on site be preserved to the maximum extent possible. The City Council
reconsidered this decision on May 21st.
Natural resource issues were discussed, including the environmental
significance of the Arbor site and mitigation possibilities. Specific
policies have not yet been developed to provide a framework for
consideration of these issues.
A representative of the developer explained that the project would need to
be completely redesigned if Mail Creek were to remain open. He indicated
the developer was prepared to save the trees as represented on the
preliminary site plan and was also prepared to offer a payment of $25,000
to mitigate against the environmental impacts of the proposed project.
Council voted 4-3 to uphold the preliminary approval of the Arbor
Commercial Plaza PUU with the condition that the developer provide a
payment of $25,000 as appropriate mitigation."
Councilmember Knezovich made a.motion, seconded by Councilmember Clarke, to

Ordinance Authorizing the Issuance of
SCORE Loan Revenue Bonds in the Amount
of $3,000,000, Adopted on FirstReading
Following is the staff's memorandum on this item:
"Executive Summary
The SCORE (Solar Conservation and Other Renewal Energy), or Mini Bond,
Program is composed of two interrelated programs:
June 4, 1985
1. A bond issue offering small denomination ($5UU) zero coupon bonds
for sale to public. The interest on these bonds is tax exempt.
The term of these bonds is 5 years.
2. A loan program to finance cost effective energy improvements for
residences and businesses within the City.
The funds collected from the sale of bonds will be used to make the loans
and conversely the loan repayments will be used to redeem the bonds at
maturity. The SCORE Program will serve to enhance the efficiency of energy
use throughout the City.
This ordinance authorizes the issuance of the SCORE bonds with the SCORE
loans as security for the bond holders.
Background
The SCORE Program was presented to Council at the April 23, Worksession.
This program has been developed to enhance the quantity and quality of
money available for the purpose of installing energy related improvements.
It is unique in that, to the best of our knowledge, no entity has issued
small denomination bonds using secured loans to individuals as the bond
holders security. A task force was formed which included the City Manager,
staff from city Finance Department, Attorney's Office, Light and Power, a
personal income tax advisor, and representatives from the Bond Counsel and
Trustee. The task force was charged with developing a program meeting
legal requirements of the City as well as being attractive to potential
bond buyers and borrowers.
The Ordinance before Council meets these objectives. It is structured as
follows:
- SCORE Loan Revenue Bonds, in an amount not to exceed $3 million in
principal are to be authorized. The bonds will be zero interest
bonds but will be sold at a discount using an interest rate of
approximately 75% of prime rate.
- The Bonds will be issued in denominations of $500 (and multiples of
$5UU). An individual may purchase up to $5000 in bonds. The bonds
will be sold at the Utility Billing counter. The bonds will mature
in five years but are callable earlier at the City discretion. All
interest will be received at.maturity and is tax exempt. The bonds
are secured by loans made for energy improvements and are not a
debt of the City.
The proceeds from the bond sales will be transferred to the
program's Trustee, first Interstate Bank, and will be utilized for
loans. Loans will be made on projects which produce energy savings
greater than the loan payments. In addition, the borrower must
meet financial requirements proving the ability to repay the loan.
The loans will be secured with a Deed of Trust and the borrower
-289-
June 4, 1985
must consent to the disconnection of utilities in the event of
non -payment.
- The project and preliminary loan approval will be the
responsibility of the Light and Power Utility staff. The Trustee
will be responsible for final approval and responsible for pursuing
any delinquencies.
- The interest rate on the loans will be 2% greater than that paid to
the bond holders to cover the program's front end and
administrative costs. This rate will be below the conventional
financing now available for these projects.
- Monthly loan payments will be collected by the Finance Department.
These funds will be invested until the bonds mature and then used
to redeem the bonds.
Everyone benefits:
INVESTOR
- a tax free return for small investors as well as the
satisfaction of helping neighbors and the community.
BURROWER
- attractive financing for the borrower resulting in lower
energy costs from the energy improvement.
CITY
- a more energy efficient community.
In addition to the strong staff support for this program, the CHOICE
Citizens Advisory Committee has. recommended the SCORE Program for immediate
implementation in their Recommendations Report, as presented to Council,
May 28, 1985."
Councilmember Knezovich made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Clarke, to
adopt Ordinance No. 69, 1985 on First Reading.
Bruce Lockhart, 2500 East Harmony Road, asked how and where the bonds would
be sold.
Mayor Rutstein replied .the bonds would be sold at the City Utility
Uepartment for $35U and would have a value of $500 five years later with
the interest being tax exempt.
Dave Dwyer, bond counsel, addressed Council questions with regard to the
financing of the program and the loan agreements.

This Ordinance appropriates additional funding of $98,000 from Prior Year
Reserves in the Capital Projects Fund and is being requested to be added to
$162,000 previously appropriated in order to complete the renovation of the
Northside Aztlan Community Center with what has become known as the medium
fix option.
Background
A. Resolution Concerning the Development of Future Community Centers in
the City of Fort Collins.
8. Hearing and First Reading of Ordinance No. 65, 1985, Appropriating
Prior Year Reserves in the Capital Projects Fund for the Northside
Aztlan Community Center Renovation and Gymnasium Floor Resurfacing
Projects.
This ordinance was tabled to June 4 at the May 21 regular Council meeting.
Council met with the Parks and Recreation Board in a joint worksession on
May 28 to discuss concerns regarding the Northside Aztlan Community Center.
Although we had discussed delaying action on this issue until June 18,
staff was able to prepare the background information in sufficient detail
to answer questions heard at the May 28 worksession.
Council still has the option of tabling these items to a later date if
additional information is needed.
background on Renovation
A consultant, who had originally been retained to study renovation and
expansion possibilities, found that unless structural stabilization efforts
are undertaken, the building would be usable for only three to six more
years. The consultant, staff, and the Parks and Recreation Board have
examined the various stabilization options, which ranged in cost from
$75,000 to $55U,000, and reviewed the possibility of constructing a new
Northside Aztlan Community Center; and agreed that a "medium fix" option of
$26U,000 was the most cost effective and logical alternative for
renovation.
At the joint worksession meeting, many divergent opinions were expressed.
Some felt that Northside should be minimally renovated, and we should put
our money toward• the construction of a new facility within the next few
years. Others stated that the medium fix option would solve the existing
problem, and buy time for a future decision on the expansion of the
facility to meet needs, or possibly the construction of a new facility
should the renovation prove unsuccessful for recreational purposes.
Generally, everyone agreed something must be done, but the methodology to
achieve whatever that something is remained elusive.
Since the opening in 1978, the Northside Aztlan Community Center building
has experienced substantial floor and wall settlement. Last year a
consultant was retained to study renovation and expansion possibilities.
-293-
June 4, 1985
The study offered three stabilization options ranging in cost from $75,000
to $55U,000, the latter involving total reconstruction of interior walls
and slabs. Essentially the three approaches to renovation have become
known as:
N roach Total Cost
1.
The
band -aid fix
$ 75,000
1.
The
medium fix
$26U,OOU
3.
The
big fix
$55U,000
Recently, three more options have been offered as follows:
4. The medium -to -big fix $365,OUO
5. Medium fix plus expansion $572 000
6. New construction $800,000 to over $1.2 million
The Parks and Recreation Board held a special meeting on May 1, at the
Northside Aztlan Community Center. All Board Members received copies of
the complete report from the consultant (Sutter Architects and Planners of
Fort Collins), as well as the staff report summary prepared by Project
Manager Ted Rutledge. Consultant Bob Sutter attended the meeting and
discussed the technological elements of the building and the possible
solutions, including the mechanical system, new roof, gym floor, and all
other modifications which have been addressed. He then went on to explain
to the Board the foundation and soil conditions, settlements and voids,
structural failures, where bedrock is located, the potentials of methane
gas, etc. He stated that the methane gas impact is minimal, as verified by
Health Department testing. He then explained the various proposed
stabilization efforts. He briefly touched on much of the same data and
information at the joint Council/Board Worksession of May 28.
The Parks and Recreation Board, at their meeting of May 1, 1985, voted
unanimously 6-U (three members absent) to STRONGLY recommend to City
Council the medium fix solution of $260,000 for `renovation. Parks and
Recreation Staff agrees. The scope of the medium fix is that shallow
foundations would be underpinned (shored up) by a system of concrete piers
and beams or, alternatively, by the "Perms Jack" method where steel rods
are driven' to bedrock and anchored to the foundation. Slabs would be
stabilized by mudjacking or thick grout column to bedrock and allowing
floors to rest on a grid of such columns. The medium fix should increase
floor life by 10 to 3U years and structural life by 20 to 3U years at
least.
In addition to structural stabilization, this medium fix renovation project
also will provide:
1. New roofing over the office area to improve moisture resistance and add
insulation.
2. Door weatherproofing.
-294-
1
June 4, 1985
3. Replacement of obsolete heating and cooling units.
4. A new storage room to be added to the building's east side.
5. Resurfacing the gym floor to reduce the hazard presented by the
existing uneven surface.
As a point of information, the "medium -to -big fix" approach for $365,UUU
was suggested by Mr. Auscencio Perez during a Council requested meeting
with citizens held on May 24 at Northside, conducted by staff. This
solution adds $105,000 to the medium fix plan.
Mr. Perez's primary concern is that the gym floor be repaired so that no
failures occur in the future. Toward that end he is pushing for a
structural slab in the gymnasium. This solution is similar to the "big
fix" except it does not call for gutting out and replacing floors in the
office/community area. Our consultant, Mr. Sutter, agrees that
technically, structural slabs offer a higher degree of probable success
than low slump grouting. However, as a consultant trying to recommend a
cost effective solution, he does not feel the extra money spent for a
structural slab is justifiable because it only marginally improves the
chances of success while costing a great deal more.
The other two options are "medium fix plus expansion" and "new
construction." The expansion option means completing the medium fix for
$26U,U00, then expanding the building at an estimated cost of an additional
$312,OOU, for a total project cost of $572,000. Expansion would meet the
original expectations of the community when the building was first built,
as well as provide for the real needs and growth that have occurred over
the years. The consultant stated that the medium fix should stabilize the
structure for up to 30 years, and an expansion addition would last up to 40
years, so any expansion should be done within the next five years or not at
all.
New construction means to abandon the existing structure as a recreation
facility, and totally construct a new Northside Aztlan Community center on
a new site. This option would cost $80U,000 if the scope of the new
construction is to provide an exact duplicate of the existing inadequate
building, or upwards of $1.2 million or beyond, depending upon what is
desired.
Summary
Even though there are many divergent opinions, staff and the consultant are
Still recommending the medium fix option. The $75,000 band -aid fix is a
very short-term temporary solution, but existing funding sources would
cover its cost should that be the approved methodology until a long-term
solution is agreed upon. Mr. Sutter said if we choose to go with the big
fix for $55U,000, we might as well spend more money and actually build a
new center. The medium fix has the highest probability of success while
being most cost effective.

The total project cost for the medium fix is estimated to be $260,00u.
Existing appropriations total $162,uUu, leaving a funding need of $98,000.
These figures do not reflect $18,000, which was appropriated in CUBE monies
for resurfacing the gym floor. If that money is added to the project
budget, Davis -Bacon Act wage provisions will apply to the entire project
and the resulting cost inflation will exceed the $18,00U grant. Therefore,
staff recommends the $18,00U to be returned to CD8G for some other purpose.

Final design of the medium fix renovation has been essentially underway,
and construction is anticipated to begin after Labor Day, if approval is
given June 4. Construction time is estimated at three months, so we should
finish prior to the busy Christmas and winter basketball season. Complete
closure of the center may be necessary at times, but should not exceed two
weeks for any given period. This work will be coordinated with the
Center's Recreation Staff so that the down time and public inconveniences
can be minimized. Staff also fully understands and supports the need for
quality maintenance of the center and will not allow the condition of the
center to visibly deteriorate.
background on Future Centers
In addition to the recommended medium fix Ordinance, a Resolution has been
prepared which- considers the community's overall need for recreation
centers. Thin resolution is a commitment from City Council for the
development of future community centers in Fort Collins, and requests that
the Parks and Recreation Board take the lead to see if in fact the citizens
of our community support such a plan. This includes the expansion and/or
total new construction of the Northside Aztlan Community Center, a new
senior citizens center, and two full service recreation centers in the
southeast and southwest portions of Fort Collins.
The following information is excerpts from a memorandum prepared for City
Council by City Manager John Arnold, dated May 23, 1985, regarding
-296-
June 4, 1985
neighborhood centers. He explains very clearly this situation, and we in
Parks and Recreation fully support his position.
"...Council will recall that neighborhood centers were proposed to the
RECAP Committee and were all placed in the "desirable" but lowest priority
grouping of the three. That grouping has no funding for its
Council also will retail that the Northside Community Center was builteassa
Community Center, not a Neighborhood Center. That was done intentionally
so that it would serve the community as a whole, Council at the time
admitting that the highest priority need was in the Northside area.
(Council was aided in that decision by a Federal grant from EDA that had to
be spent in the area, and that had to be spent within a specific, short
time frame, which led us to use Design Build and a floating slab. etc.)
Nevertheless, the community has needs for two other regional community
centers to the southwest and southeast. It's also pertinent to the
discussion to note that Fort Collins does not have a Boys Club, a YMCA, or
a YWCA, the kind of facilities that fill the gap in community programming
between the City's publicly -sponsored recreation programs and the private
sector's expensive health clubs. It's ironic to note that both Boulder and
Greeley have Y's and both their community populations are older than ours
with Fort Collins having a average age of 24.7 years, while Boulder has
25.8, Greeley's is 26, and Loveland's is 30.
We also have a need for a Senior Citizens Center, dedicated to the programs
Of seniors and easily accessible to those less able to move around under
their own power. The Downtown Community Center is divided between senior
citizen activities and administrative offices of the Parks and Recreation
Uepartment and one other social service agency.
Besides the inadequacy of the Downtown Community Center as a senior citizen
center, our seniors deserve better, inasmuch as we have a strong and
innovative senior citizen program: Our Tax Workoff Program, developed by
the senior citizens, is one of a handful in the country and even though we
don't get the credit for having an innovative program in either the local
or national media, it still is an exciting program that reflects an
outstanding senior citizen program; our SAINT Program, providing senior
alternatives in transportation, is national award winning as an innovator,
where the seniors in many cases are helping the seniors. Greeley has just
built a new outstanding senior citizen center in their downtown, next to
their new community center. Boulder has a new facility that is about five
and one-half years old, and Loveland is in the process of building a new
facility through a bond -issue approved in November.
Action Options
As we look at the options available to us on the Northside Aztlan Community
Center, it seems that we need to take a look at our overall community
center situation and see if Council is creativity can be combined with the
creativity of the Parks and Recreation Board and set the community on a
course of providing a complete system of community centers within, say, the
next five years.
-297-
June 4, 1985
The community centers we estimate would cost respectively these numbers:
Senior Citizens Center $2,60U,000
Southeast Recreation Center $3,226,000
Southwest Recreation $4,20U,0UU
Northside Aztlan Remodel $ 75,UOU to $55U,UOU
or new construction $ 800,000 to $1.2 million +
This community has an amazing record for doing what it sets out to do, and
it sets out to do quite a lot. The recent school bond issue was just one
of a series of approvals for increased funding for exceptional public
facilities. In 1981, the public voted over $5 million for community parks.
In 1982, the County voted $3.2 million to buy Horsetooth Rock and Soderberg
Ranch. And last May the community voted one -quarter cent sales tax for
each a new pool and ice rink and a five-year capital improvement program.
This is at the time when most communities are voting against tax increases
and new spending programs. Fort Collins is truly an exceptional community.
When the bond issue was sold, the Parks and Recreation Board came to the
City Council and asked for permission to put an issue on the ballot for the
public to authorize $5 million in bonds to build new parks. Council felt
at the time it was an issue that would not pass, but that Parks and
Recreation would take the lead and see if the community would support some
new parks. That same approach might be in order here, if the Parks and
Recreation board is agreeable to the challenge and if the City Council ■
believed that the need for the centers exists.
School Cooperation
We may also have an unusual opportunity to work with the school people and
incorporate the community's needs for community centers with some of the
new school construction. The City and School District have done well in
the past by coordinating their construction plans for schools and
oversizing the gymnasiums and other facilities to provide opportunities for
recreational and educational programs for the general public. That concept
might be able to be expanded as the School District goes about building the
new schools that are projected for the next five years. There may well be
an opportunity to combine forces so that the schools are built with some
common facilities able to be shared by the non -school general public at the
cost of the City, and we could share in the land costs. It might save us
both some money', but more than that the likely benefit is that the public
would be well served.
Opportunity For Leadership
As John Kenneth Galbraith has said, a leader addresses the "wants, needs,
anxieties, and aspirations of constituents." The Council and the Parks and
Recreation Board are leaders of the community and in this subject area,
respectively. They need to judge whether the community wants a higher
level of service in community centers, whether the community needs such a
-298-
June 4, 1985
higher level, and perhaps even whether exceptional is truly an aspiration
of the community and not just of city government.
As for me, as you know, my own standard of excellence is that we will
strive to be not just as good as the other communities, for I believe that
good enough is not good enough for Fort Collins, but also I believe that
Fort Collins' level of excellence needs to go beyond excellence and be
exceptional. We can achieve the exceptional opportunities, but also
because we have a great "can do" attitude and we have a positive and
progressive population...".
Councilmember Stoner made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Estrada, to
adopt Resolution 85-92.
Barbara Allison, 1212 Lynnwood Drive, spoke of her concerns about the
construction of other City facilities and opposed the "fast -tracking" of

The design details and, therefore, the budget of the project were
subject to location and alignment of that right-of-way.
A consultant was retained by Public Works to design the roadway and
the water main. The consultant has prepared a preliminary cost
estimate for construction which totals $163,ODU and exceeds our budget
by $50,000. To proceed to bid and have an appropriate contingency, it
will be necessary to transfer $50,000 into this project. Funds of
approximately $IUU,UUU are expected to be available from the
contingency phase of the Water Treatment Plant #2 Improvements capital
project when the project is completed. We recommend that $50,000 be
