The board approved the motion to adopt the minutes after Commissioner Jody Shattuck McNally moved to approve them. “Madam Chair, I move to approve the minutes from the week of 01/13/2025,” Shattuck McNally said; the motion passed unanimously.

The consent agenda, moved by Commissioner John Kefalas and approved 3‑0, included the following items as described on the meeting record:

- An abatement (refund of taxes) that exceeds the allotted refund amount of $10,000 (details posted online).
- Two agreements: a drainage agreement between Larimer County and 126 Bristlecone LLC; and a development agreement for McKay Newsworn Subdivision, file number 22‑LANd‑4238, to subdivide about 27 acres into two residential lots.
- Four board appointments: reappointments and a midterm appointment to the Little Valley General Improvement District and a recommended appointment to the Greyhawk Knowles Public Improvement District with term end dates listed in the record.
- A DOLA (Colorado Department of Local Affairs) emergency services grant revision letter that notifies DOLA about project scope changes: elimination of north vehicle bays, modification of east vehicle bays to electric radiant heating, and retention of a geothermal ground‑source heat pump for the remainder of the structure.
- A hotel and restaurant optional premises liquor license for Sylvan Dale Ranch.
- Colorado Counties Inc. proxy designations to allow county staff to act as proxies for certain CCI steering committees during the 2025 legislative session.
- A notification that the private activity bond application period is open through March 1, and that the county has roughly $6.8 million in private activity bonds available for allocation to qualified affordable housing projects.
- An Office of Emergency Management application to DOLA for $750,000 in local‑match funding to support non‑federal match requirements for a U.S. Forest Service Community Wildfire Defense Grant proposal (round 3).

Why it matters: The consent agenda bundles routine and administrative approvals that enable county operations, development review and grant applications to proceed. The DOLA items and private activity bond announcement are relevant to affordable‑housing and emergency management funding and planning.

Behan said current local monitors are “site specific” and do not compile findings in real time, and pointed to the Boulder Air system as an example that posts results within 15 minutes and can support enforcement or grievances. “We urge the Board of County Commissioners to direct our Department of Health and Environment to pursue this grant,” Behan said, handing printed letters and signatures to the clerk.

Why it matters: Commissioners said they take the request seriously but noted additional information and coordination are needed before applying. Jody Shattuck McNally, commissioner and chair pro tem, said the board had received the emails and pledged to “take this back and discuss it.” Commissioner John Kefalas and Chair Kristen Stevens described pending local and regional work that could inform a decision, and highlighted planned updates from Colorado State University this spring.

Commission response and next steps: Commissioner Cavallos said she had forwarded the groups’ email to the county public health director and would seek more information from staff; she said she was reviewing a CSU project summary tied to a $1.375 million grant and noted CSU’s planned summer 2025 work to study ozone precursors. Stevens said the county previously evaluated the Boulder Air system and cited cost as a past barrier, but said available grants could change feasibility and that the county’s Environmental and Science Advisory Board will hear updates in March. Shattuck McNally encouraged the public to follow the Regional Air Quality Commission and said that commission is preparing the state implementation plan for ground‑level ozone.

What was not decided: The board did not vote or formally direct staff to submit an AQE application at the meeting. Commissioners described follow‑up actions: staff and commissioners will gather additional information, coordinate with CSU and the county public health director, and raise the matter at upcoming advisory board and RAC meetings. No application timeline or budget figures for a county AQE application were provided at the meeting.

Context and sources cited at the meeting: Behan referenced federal evaluations of regional air quality and pointed to emissions downwind from Weld County and the Denver‑Julesburg Basin as contributors to ozone precursors; commissioners referenced CSU research, the Regional Air Quality Commission, and the county Environmental and Science Advisory Board as relevant partners for further study.

Ending: Commissioners thanked Behan and the groups that submitted letters, and said the county will follow up with staff and external partners before any formal grant decision.
