Title:
Broadband Update
Background:
To compete in today‟s economy, communities across the State have become
increasingly dependent on internet access – and especially high-capacity
(broadband) access. Businesses – whether a „brick and mortar‟ business or an at
home business – require large amounts of data communications. Further, residences
have multiple devices that need the significant capacity for video and other users.
The availability of broadband has also become a necessity for quality of life and
desirability of a community, providing residents access to things like online education
and distance learning opportunities, telemedicine, and entertainment. In the 21stcentury economy, it is critical everyone have broadband access. In fact, it is
beginning to be a dialogue that broadband access is as important as our roads and
utilities to be economically competitive (Colorado Municipal League).
The history of broadband for the City of Greeley is as follows:
2016: The City began the initiative to examine Broadband generally.
2017: The City initiated (1) a feasibly study with NEO Connect to look broadly at the
issues and options related to Broadband, (2) a ballot initiative in which the voters
opted out of the prohibitions of SB152 which prohibited most uses of municipal funds
for infrastructure to improve local broadband service or from providing those services
should the City desire to do so at some point.
2018: Completed he feasibility study and identified next steps.
In May 2018 City staff and a consultant provided the Council with a strategic
direction concerning broadband. As the consultant stated:
Municipalities are taking a more active role in ensuring their communities have
reliable, abundant and affordable broadband services for their citizens. Additionally,
smart city applications are requiring local governments to plan for robust infrastructure
to support these emerging technologies.

The study had many components, including a survey of providers and “download”
speeds, discussion of the future options (4G and 5G cellular wireless, as examples),
price comparisons, existing infrastructure assets, a survey of providers, best practices

analysis, and recommendations.
From this report, the Council appropriated an additional $250,000 to continue to
study and analyze the next steps for the City of Greeley to ensure Greeley remains a
technologically competitive City in northern Colorado.

Work Plan
The work plan elements included:

Work with Existing Providers to Improve Broadband Services
The overall goal of any broadband initiative is to ensure Greeley is competitive in the
new technology world. The private sector can certainly provide those services.
However, at present, they are not being provided equitably across the geographic
boundaries of our city. This leaves many of our residents and small businesses without
the speeds and reliability they need or desire
The City‟s representatives have made contact with our current providers including
Comcast and Century Link.

Comcast: While Comcast has communicated a willingness to enter into
conversations with the City and share information, the City has not been able to
access this data to date.

CenturyLink: The City has had some productive meetings with CenturyLink. We
were using their fiber as our backbone. We are planning on moving our connectivity
to a “fiber ring” the city built for transportation.

Transportation: Several years ago, the City constructed a fiber connectivity ring
using federal grants. We now have permission to use that infrastructure for all city
purposes. Switching our broadband needs to our owned fiber will save the City
money.

Other providers: Staff members understand there are other broadband service
providers in our community. To date, we have not had discussions with other providers
to determine how large a business share they have in our City or what interest they
may have in a P3 arrangement. We are engaging a consultant to assist with these
business contacts and conversations to fully explore the P3 alternative for providing
comprehensive .and equitable broadband services to the community.

Municipal Facilitation through Broadband Friendly Policies:
Fiber Conduit Connectivity and Co-locate Policy: We have written for your
consideration an ordinance to address some issues. This ordinance states:

When a company is trenching or boring in the City right-ofways, the company must provide a shadow conduit at the City‟s
request and pro-rata cost, and

Those constructing public streets, public improvements
and alleys, including the City and Developers to provide and
install such conduit and appurtenances to accommodate future
broadband needs within the rights –of-way without further

City Council Worksession Agenda - City of Greeley, Colorado

Page 7 of 57

excavation. This is conduit for potential future fiber. It is fiber
only. The remaining utilities (water, wastewater, sewer, electric
and natural gas) have their own requirements and processes.
This ordinance ensures several outcomes:

The private sector will have the infrastructure to place their
future fiber in the ground without “digging into the right of way
again;”

Slowly the City will ensure underserved areas of our city
will, at least, have the conduit to ensure fiber is available; and

Private fiber providers will have less need to dig into our
right of way and impact our streets.
The challenge is to build enough money into the budget to lay the conduit in a street
project. Over time, the costs will be recaptured. However, there is no identified
timeline for reimbursement. Another benefit to this policy is that if the City does
transition to offering broadband services, the City has complete ownership of the
conduit. Finally, this policy ensures that we can, at least, place fiber in places for city
purposes.

Smart Conduit Construction to Gain Assets and Attract Partners
Smart Conduit Construction strategy weaves with Broadband Friendly policies. We
want to make certain that we have ownership of as much conduit as possible to
ensure we can offer the conduit as an incentive to the private sector for underserved
neighborhoods or businesses. We can also have a voice to provide our residents
and businesses the speeds necessary to meet 21st Century needs. Also, if we are
doing this correctly, we will have laid the infrastructure to install the fiber ourselves, if
we are at a point of creating a broadband utility.

Connecting City Government Facilities, Smart City Applications
Currently, we have gaps in our fiber connectivity. For example, we do not have
connectivity to the proposed location of the new fire station 6 in the Promontory
neighborhood. We have a map of the areas that are not connected either through
a private partnership or our own fiber. Through the budget process, working with
Public Works, we are identifying the overlap between street projects and the need to
lay fiber. Requests for additional monies to add fiber will be a part of the 2020 capital
improvements process.
There is also an opportunity to develop a relationship with the State Department of
Transportation (CDOT) to possibly join our fiber ring with the plan the state is preparing
to connect their organization to Denver along State Highway 34 and I-25. CDOT is
laying the conduit and fiber now in the I-25 project. The benefit to this includes
transportation information on road issues that could be simultaneous between the
state and the City.

Connecting other Key Community Institutions, Business Locations and Industrial Parks.
During the original study, the consultant and city staff informally gathered opinions
through an online survey instrument, a citizen meeting and meetings with key
stakeholders.
The next steps are to gather information in a statistically valid way. We are working
on the following:
1. Creation of an ad hoc Broadband Citizens‟ Advisory Committee. This
Committee will review the survey and community feedback, and provide
advice on the City‟s outreach program. Finally, over time, the Committee will
give recommendations on ways to ensure the City is a City prepared for the
21st century. The Chamber of Commerce is providing some names.
2. Surveys and Focus Groups: Staff members are completing a contract for a firm
to conduct both a statistically valid survey of our residents and focus groups of
both businesses and residents about broadband needs and expectations.
3. The City is completing an additional contract with a firm that will provide an
updated version of all the broadband providers in the City and the customers
they have with the speeds they offer.

Other Issues
Budgetary Requirements: At present, as staff works through the issues related to the
next steps in the implementation of a broadband strategy, we will use consultants to
accomplish the work program. Staff will continue to evaluate the necessary resources
with the IT department‟s lead and the inclusion of the other necessary departments.
We still have monies remaining from the original $250,000 allocation. However, we will
be asking to set aside additional monies from the 2018 carry-over funds to continue
the work.

Interlocal Partnerships: The City of Greeley and the Town of Windsor simultaneously
conducted the initial NEOConnect study. At the time of the contract, the City of
Greeley decided to ask voters to eliminate the constraints of Senate Bill 152, allowing
the City to offer broadband services. Our city‟s voters approved that in November
2017. The Town of Windsor has not yet asked their voters if they want to eliminate the
constraints of SB 152. In working with the Town of Windsor, at this time, broadband is
not a 2019 priority for their town.
As we move forward, it is conceivable that we will, again, work jointly. If we move
forward in creating a new utility, we will continue our discussions with all the northern
Colorado cities about opportunities to increase efficiencies (joint billing, service and
operations center, as examples). The actual construction of a system would be
geographically bound. In the future, there may be efficiencies in some service areas.
At this time, the next steps Greeley will take will be solely ours. We will continue to
participate in regional discussions.

Summary
As we compare our work to the efforts of Fort Collins and Loveland, it is reasonable to
expect that making all these decisions will require multiple years. The first effort is
gathering information, analyzing it, working with private companies to determine if
they can provide the service. This will require a significant amount of time. Fort
Collins went through 3 years of evaluation of different service models and providers
before deciding to ask the voters for approval to implement a new utility. Loveland
evaluated options for two years with their Council.
Our plan follows the work of other Colorado cities. As mentioned throughout the
above sections, it includes:
a. Establish an Advisory Citizen Committee: (March, 2019 – June, 2020) We would
like a mix of businesses and residents. Their task will be to analyze any information we
are gathering and review any and all future recommendations. Please let staff
members know, if you have committee member ideas. We expect they will meet
once a month for the next 12 – 15 months.
b. Survey and Focus groups: (Feb., 2019 – June, 2019) We are finalizing a contract
with a consulting firm to conduct statistically valid outreach to the residents and
businesses. This information will include both providing information gather information
about broadband experience and expectations. There will be a deliberate effort to
solicit feedback from underserved populations in our community with bilingual
options available.
c. Strategic discussions with various broadband providers to discuss P3 interest:
(Feb., 2019 – May 2019) There are many alternatives to providing fast internet service.
We will explore all options for recommendations.
d. Adoption of a “Fiber Conduit Connectivity and Co-locate: ordinance (Feb –
March, 2019)
e. Continue discussion with other agencies
 CDOT
 Northern Colorado cities
 Chamber of Commerce
f. Appropriation of monies to continue the effort:
 Monies to lay conduit where necessary: $250,000 annually for 2019 and
2020.
 Set aside $500,000 for fiber optic cable expansion efforts.
 Set aside $600,000 further development of broadband model and
design, i.e. P3 and City ISP for 2019 & 2021.
The plan is to return to City Council in July, 2019 with an update and action plans for
the remainder of 2019 and 2020.

December Financial Summary
Governmental accounting can at times be difficult to interpret because most (but not all) revenue is received one
month after it is generated, while all expenses are recorded in the month which they were incurred. The following
report outlines Greeley's major revenue funds and details 2018 collections to date.

General Fund
The General Fund has a total revenue budget of $102,941,649 and an expenditure budget of $110,433,516 in 2018.
The monthly financial report examines the Fund's major revenue sources, expenditures, and overall trends; the
report also utilizes historical data and future projections. The proceeding section provides summarized financial
information, while detailed data is found in the sections beginning on page 5.

Sales Tax
Sales tax revenues comprise 43% of the General Fund's total revenues. The General Fund’s 2018 share of sales tax
revenues total $42,184,977 (87.9%) of a 2018 with a revised estimate of $47,943,071 through eleven months of sales
tax payments (original budget estimate was $43,174,285). 2018 original budgeted sales tax revenue is 2.2% less than
2017 actuals. Sales tax revenue designated for the general fund has increased 7.3% ($2,867,665) from 2017.

Use Taxes
Use taxes comprise 9.0% ($9,240,912) of the General Fund revenue budget in 2018.
Through eleven months, general use tax revenue has increased 13.2% ($231,365) as compared to 2017.
The City levies a building use tax upon issuing a new building permit. Building use tax revenue has increased 143.0%
($2,262,063) from 2017.
Auto use tax revenue has increased 15.7% ($497,430) from 2017 through eleven months of collections.

Building Permits
Building permit revenue has increased 54.6% ($912,790) from 2017 to 2018. As of December 31st, 436 new
construction permits ($163.9 million valuation) have been issued in 2018, as compared to 209 ($205.6 million
valuation) during the same period in 2017, resulting in a 108.6% increase in permits issued and a 20.3% decrease in
permit valuation to date. The number of single family permits issued through December 31st, 2018 (338) is more
than triple the permits issued in all of 2017 (111).

2018 single-family permits to date: 338 issued, $79.8 million total valuation.
2017 single-family permits to date: 111 issued, $27.1 million total valuation.

2018 multi-family permits to date: 73 issued, $33.2 million total valuation.
2017 multi-family permits to date: 72 issued, $42.0 million total valuation.

2018 commercial permits to date: 25 issued, $50.9 million total valuation.
2017 commercial permits to date: 26 issued, $136.4 million total valuation.

Special Fund Revenues & Economic Indicators
Lodging Tax
The Convention and Visitors Fund is supported by the City’s 3.0% lodging tax and is utilized to support convention
and visitors activities. Lodging tax revenue increased 4.6% ($27,616) from 2017, and the City has collected 83.9% of
the 2018 budget estimate of $745,000.

Food Tax
Greeley's food tax finances a capital maintenance program for the repair of streets, buildings, parks, and other
capital assets. Through eleven months, food tax revenue has increased 5.2% ($340,597), and the City has collected
$6,866,713 (86.4%) of the 2018 revised budget estimate of $7,946,270.

Economic Indicators
The dollar per barrel price of North Central Colorado Crude Oil as of December 28th, 2018 was $38.66, a decrease of
29.3% respectively from 2017.
Total sales tax revenue remitted to the City in December decreased 0.55% from 2017. The sales tax revenue decline
in September was due to a one time audit refund. Removing the refund will show a 13.5% increase in sales tax for
2018. Several business categories tracked by the City have grown in 2018; the categories include general
merchandise stores, motor vehicle and parts dealers, electronics and appliance stores, sporting goods, furniture
stores, gasoline stations, health and personal care stores, and clothing stores.

Summary
The following sections outline Greeley's major operating funds. After a strong 2017, the local economic conditions in
early 2018 continue to be positive, as evidenced by the continued growth in sales tax revenue, building permit
revenue, and use taxes.

General Fund
Overview:
Major sources of revenue in the General Fund include sales, property, and use tax; county, state, and federal
intergovernmental funds; franchise fees; transfers from other funds; fines, forfeits, and service charges;
licenses and permits; and miscellaneous sources.
The following graph compares 2018 expenditures and revenues with the same data from 2017. The first
twelve months of 2018 revenues and expenditures are following historic trends. The City received $3.4
million in one-time oil royalty payments in February 2018. March 2018 revenues are higher due to an
increase in property tax collections from last year. City Council appropriated a one-time carryover of 2017
funds in April, contributing $11.6 million to the month’s expenses. May revenues are higher in 2018 due to
higher property tax collection, building permits, sales and use taxes, and oil royalty payments. June revenues
and expenditures were higher in 2017 due to the receipt of $1.6 million in grant funding for the purchase of
compressed natural gas busses for $2 million. July expenditures were higher in 2018 due to the purchase of
compressed natural gas busses for $2.2 million. August expenses were higher in 2018 due to three payroll
periods that occurred instead of two in August 2017. September revenues increased due to higher severance
& mineral taxes in 2018 of $644,299, grants for the purchase of transit buses, and taxes. September expenses
were lower in 2018 due to two payroll periods in 2018 as compared to three in 2017. 2018 October revenues
increased due to higher building permit collections along with increased sales and use taxes. Expenditures in
October 2018 were lower and higher in November 2018 due to the timing of transfers to support the Streets
and Roads Fund. Revenues for November 2018 increased due to higher sales tax collection, auto use tax,
and oil royalty payments. Expenses for December 2018 were greater than the prior year due to several one
time transfer expenses for equipment and vehicles. Revenues for December 2018 were decreased due to a
one time oil and gas lease payment totaling $2.2 million in 2017.

The table below compares 2018 actual and budgeted revenue and expenditures as of December 31th, 2018.

Page 23 of 57

Revenues:
Eleven months of payments have been received from the following revenue sources in 2018: franchise fees, sales tax,
general use tax, lodging tax, and property tax. Twelve months of payments have been received for the following:
building and planning permit fees; building use tax; and charges for interfund services. The first quarter of 2018
increased from last year due to the City receiving $3.4 million in one-time oil royalty payments, increased property tax
collections, increased building permits, and higher sales and use taxes. The second quarter the City received increased
revenue in 2018 from building permits, property taxes, oil royalties, and sales and use taxes. The third quarter of 2018
increase was due to the receipt of grant funding for the purchase of compressed natural gas buses, severance taxes,
and higher sales and use tax revenues. October and November 2018 revenues increased due to higher sales tax
collection, auto use tax, and oil royalty payments. Revenues for December 2018 were decreased due to a one time oil
and gas lease payment totaling $2.2 million in 2017.

Expenditures:
The General Fund is used to provide basic municipal services such as police, fire, parks, culture, recreation, public
works, community development, and general administration. Below is a summary of expenditures through June 30,
2018. The increased expenditures in the first quarter of 2018 are due to planned increases in salaries, benefits and
purchased services. The second quarter of 2018 saw an increase due to the one time appropriation and transfers of
funds from 2017 carryover funds. Third quarter expenditures were higher in 2018 due to the purchase of compressed
natural gas busses for $2.2 million. Expenditures in October 2018 were lower and higher in November 2018 due to the
timing of transfers to support the Streets and Roads Fund. Expenses for December 2018 were greater than the prior
year due to several one time transfer expenses for equipment and vehicles.

Revenue Sources
The City collects sales tax on the retail sale of various goods and commodities at a rate of 4.11%; the state's sales tax
rate is 2.9%. City sales tax revenue is distributed to the Public Safety Fund (0.16%), Quality of Life Fund (0.30%),
General Fund (3.0%) and Keep Greeley Moving (0.65%). In 2015, the citizens of Greeley re-approved the 3.46% tax on
food for home consumption – the Food Tax Fund.
The graph below illustrates the sales tax revenue distribution to five different funds before debt payments: General,
Public Safety, Quality of Life, Food, and Keep Greeley Moving. Intergovernmental agreements with Evans and Windsor
also affect fund distribution.

Sales tax revenues have been collected for eleven months in 2018. General sales tax revenue was originally budgeted
at 2.2% below 2017 revenue. The General Fund’s sales tax revenues have increased 7.3% as compared to 2017. The
decline in December was due to a one time audit refund. If the refund is removed sales tax grew by 13.5% in
December.

Status Report of Council Petitions

Council Request

02-2018

Councilmember Hall requested
that staff begin exploring options
in regards to refuse around the
University of Northern Colorado
to manage the problem

Council Meeting,
Worksession, or
Committee
Meeting Date
Requested

Status or Disposition
(After completion, item is shown one time
as completed and then removed.)

June 5, 2018
Council Meeting

Staff met with Councilmember Hall
to review issues with alley trash
and, based upon that discussion,
modified inspection protocols as
possible. About the same time and
coincidentally, the Greeley Urban
Renewal Authority recommended
a pilot program to pave alleys in the
Redevelopment District from the
annual CDBG budget, which
Council approved. The nature of
this code compliance issue is
chronic and Councilmember Hall
notes that issues persist. Staff met
again with Councilmember Hall on
November 16th to evaluate other or
additional actions to impact this
issue and are now: 1) Reviewing
the last community survey results
concerning trash hauling; 2)
Researching/updating info on trash
collection practices in other
jurisdictions; 3) Consider how a
pilot program for single hauler
services managed by the City might
work in a test area.
