\"20 of us, Old Town residents in Timnath, lost our wells and they're not coming back,\" Carl Elliott said. \"They stole our water and the town allowed it to happen. I don't appreciate it.\" Elliott said his adjudicated well and others were measured two weeks earlier and were still dry.

Planning staff described the town's monitoring and remedy process for wells when augmentation ponds are constructed. Community Development Director Sam Robinson said the site plan approval included a condition requiring monitoring and a baseline measurement taken before or soon after pond construction; a second round of measurements after filling starts a two-year period in which the developer and well owners can negotiate remedies, which can include redrilling or other solutions. \"So that started a 2 year kinda shot clock, where the developer and well owners have an opportunity to negotiate, either to redrill the well or some other options,\" Robinson said. Staff added some well monitoring is still pending where property access permission is required.

Separately, council approved on first reading and set a public hearing for July 8 on Ordinance 10, Series 2025, a proposed amendment to the Timnath Landing plan development overlay affecting roughly 252 acres of undeveloped Timnath Landing (Timnath Lakes North). The PD amendment would adjust dimensional standards in the land use code to allow a broader mix of housing types; staff said final details will be presented at the public hearing.

After the council meeting, the Timnath Landing General Improvement District board convened and unanimously approved two resolutions to engage UMB Bank as municipal advisor (fee up to $26,500 for debt issuance up to $5,000,000) and Butler Snow LLP as bond counsel (flat fee $45,000). Staff told the board the developer has paid approximately $5,000,000 in required infrastructure payments to date and that the GID is authorized to issue debt and impose up to 15 mills for 40 years for debt service on improvements. Both resolutions passed unanimously.

Council and staff said the two-year monitoring and cure process is the mechanism for resolving well impacts tied to the augmentation pond approval; the town will track remaining monitoring access and the negotiations between developer and well owners.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Timnath Town Council Meeting - June 24th 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident told council that about 20 Old Town wells remain dry after nearby augmentation ponds were filled; staff said monitoring provisions initiated a two-year cure period for developer remediation.","taxTitle","Timnath, Larimer County, Colorado","taxId",54115,"location","Colorado","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513462,"Council sets hearings, approves minor subdivision as Ladera development moves forward",1443,1417000,2860000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef&start=1417&end=2860","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef/thumbnail_1417000.jpg","/articles/6513462/Colorado/Council-sets-hearings-approves-minor-subdivision-as-Ladera-development-moves-forward","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513462-533fe468a7dca4f6d7ee56ee93ed79ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1770954544&Signature=B48~B~ZEoMmxMG~Fr8JSIvlU2bWQWzv2Rg8MlBFsXfLfYbs9e0YD2634QWewufeXZSZIhtqQm-elWwrYXitqhGfbjM-~9ChPMEc2Vfy8umWgoNwnSdlJ0O7PrNgQwArWxcwnRoHScDm~Cs6VNh3W3xjfATrfqFwBQMJqdnrzPK8XgybR8QM7jf-ynus9HiysX9p9vBYWoGBvvRpA0jDct64JstZlo6nk1Iz7t6UsqekrDOxeREr7XyTzkzHjg1l~uIspXJXOz4wJ9Pnyw6KlvlbKyBHuvpcVS7~edh4YibHfyrJ8MFsOnfR0ePYzeyVGl00PJYQDvtKbbNKjOMRl-Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Timnath Town Council on June 24 set public hearings for July 8 on two development ordinances and approved a minor subdivision that will create three finished restaurant lots and two larger work-in-progress lots inside the Ladera development.

Council approved, on first reading, a petition to expand the Ladera Business Improvement District boundary by about 14 acres and set a public hearing for July 8 at 6 p.m. Staff said the district, established in 2021, covers roughly 64 acres in phase 1 and the petition requests expansion to include additional parcels. The district's 2025 operating plan lists a capital budget near $30,000,000 and the petition indicates intent to issue bonds around $25,000,000; staff said the BID and associated metro districts have a maximum debt ceiling of $95,000,000 and authority to levy property tax up to 50 mills and a public improvement transportation sales tax covenant up to 0.5 percent. The town retains a tax credit of up to $5,000,000 for some portions of phase 1.

Council also approved on first reading and set a July 8 public hearing for an amendment to the Timnath Landing plan development (PD) overlay that would apply to approximately 252 acres of the Timnath Landing subdivision (Timnath Lakes North). Staff described the PD amendment as seeking targeted changes to dimensional standards to allow a variety of housing types; the full PD amendment will be heard at the July 8 public hearing.

Separately, the council unanimously approved Resolution 47, which authorizes Ladera Subdivision Filing No. 3, a minor subdivision that replats a 9.587-acre lot into five lots. The northern three lots are intended as finished restaurant pads, and the two southern lots are being held for larger regional commercial replatting in a forthcoming Ladera South filing, staff and the applicant said. The planning commission recommended approval 5–0 prior to the council hearing.

William Welch, program manager for Ladera, told the council the three northern lots are the \"golden egg\" sites where national restaurant tenants are ready to proceed and that completing the lots will help finish the northwest corner of the development and increase retail visibility from I‑25.

Connell Resources, which currently operates office and trucking facilities adjacent to the site, told the council it expects to begin work on a new off-site location in August and to move trucking office operations by October, with an asphalt plant expected to be operational at the new site in early 2026. \"We have been approved for a new site, and we start work on that in August,\" a Connell Resources representative said. Council and the applicant said some on-site mining and materials operations will wind down gradually as the relocation proceeds.

Council voted 5–0 to approve the minor subdivision (Resolution 47) and to set public hearings on the ordinances expanding the BID boundary and amending the PD overlay. Staff said they will return on July 8 with the public hearings and any additional materials requested by council.","The Timnath Town Council on June 24 approved a minor subdivision in Ladera and set July 8 public hearings for a Ladera BID expansion and a Timnath Landing PD overlay amendment.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513467,"Timnath council adopts higher purchasing thresholds to speed procurement",673,3747000,4420000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef&start=3747&end=4420","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef/thumbnail_3747000.jpg","/articles/6513467/Colorado/Timnath-council-adopts-higher-purchasing-thresholds-to-speed-procurement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513467-a1262f8e745bde798f61e4eafcaa384b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770954544&Signature=nQzuji~zcSEuAlHKf1UzikpP8WK7VF6TpSdz8jRuaDj6tjAq2n65FIEEgqvut7Lzs~3020JUi3ri6YJxgp5fIFz2QMduxprh~YqjYS5-95xrOgb9UbVZnGIaZKAPHOprOr~Qm31g9WwHQNFb-9SZB52ks6~G8an1C2XtVPDbJJhJMjZt5aZdqW8URMNHc1myQsh0jJ8yLQYP-vtqvxsUQu8ktEaEqrlAZoTBZ2EMT27KsaOH84ahUQDpHHo2NBLVEsnPa45s79J7qFwW-TbasovxuH9uYJiUYc0jZ2auoBLZXmPQDSTub6xxoy3I3EL~I~HH-OtIUpXicHfW0lGSNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Timnath Town Council on June 24 adopted an amended purchasing policy that raises internal approval thresholds and adjusts the competitive-bid threshold, Finance Director Lisa Galliardi told the council during a public hearing and second-reading vote.

Under the adopted changes, town manager delegation and council-authorization thresholds increase to the $100,000 range (council action triggers above $100,000), department-head delegation rises to $50,000, department delegation to $25,000 and the competitive-bid threshold moves from $35,000 to $50,000, Galliardi said. The town also maintains a purchase-order requirement and encumbrance process at $10,000.

Galliardi framed the changes as a catch-up to the town's growth: Timnath's budget has increased by about $11 million since 2020, full-time staff more than doubled and the town has a dedicated procurement specialist and an electronic encumbrance system. \"Town council authorization goes from $35,001 to a $100,001. Town manager goes from 35,000 to 100,000. Department heads goes from 10,000 to 50,000,\" Galliardi said.

Council members on the finance committee reviewed the draft policy and asked for additional transparency measures. Galliardi said the monthly financial report will include the status of competitive proposals and awarded contracts so the council and public can track larger purchases. She also outlined internal controls: requisitions will be reviewed by finance, purchase orders will encumber funds, and automated approval workflows in the town's Tyler financial software will be implemented so multiple staff approvals will be required at set thresholds.

Council members said they were comfortable with the higher thresholds given the added controls and the annual audit schedule; the town's auditor will review the policy during the 2025 audit cycle in early 2026. Council voted 5–0 to adopt Ordinance 8, Series 2025, amending the purchasing policy.

The town will begin implementing automated requisition and approval workflows in Tyler in July; staff said they will provide a draft of monthly reporting formats to council and adapt as requested.","Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 8 (Series 2025) raising procurement delegation and competitive-bid thresholds; staff said the changes align Timnath with similar-sized municipalities and will be supported by a new electronic requisition system.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513470,"Timnath approves $5.5 million in funding to expand Pulse broadband network",1020,1780000,2800000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef&start=1780&end=2800","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef/thumbnail_1780000.jpg","/articles/6513470/Colorado/Timnath-approves-55-million-in-funding-to-expand-Pulse-broadband-network","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513470-f6ae19cd89f37ec5186911b05d04045f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770954544&Signature=b0QD6m5vt0dIFXau~40Mr92dHh1XG3gJh7cnIlLR1Z1zX2LOseRhGRD28pWt7FFnPUGPdyezrPhn8Y7S1iywUTiu6h0EMuNhWQgbdMmTiotvKcEOeNmwYHpBj9I12siXLL6QD8neNSnnBjLb8rX5iql1ERQEfGi6xZhBlHtrBnVykpH53ANKo34E20JhYEr6fEsYGh9jbk8Xr0cjUZp-gaeT5EFYDftRZy7csbC7mltNmrg9Wpqqo0tHazHkgaRkOsEiO8-nGBn2456K~5grMgcg8A639Ul4BYApUAczuBfVCsqpUjZZjDW3yeed9yMTgvwm2bG20KacEAJRYbtORw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Timnath Town Council on June 24 unanimously approved a $5,500,000 funding authorization to continue buildout of the town's Pulse broadband network, staff said.

The funding authorization, labeled Funding Authorization Number 3, covers project and construction management, site construction for a set of neighborhoods described as sites 13 through 24 and conduit/pull-box/fiber work, and up to $1,000,000 for premise installs to connect approximately 800 customers, according to staff presentation.

Pulse broadband was first supported by the council in August 2023 and previously received two funding commitments: an initial authorization “just under a million dollars” and a second authorization of $7,700,000 in April 2024. Staff said the cumulative authorizations including the newly approved $5.5 million bring the town close to $14.2 million in total project expenditures to date; staff and council discussed an overall project budget in the roughly $20,000,000 range.

Staff clarified how premise-install costs are handled: the town pays for premise installs until Pulse reaches a 40 percent take rate in a given area; once sites reach 40 percent, Pulse covers premise installs. \"Once we reach 40%, we don't have to pay that cost anymore,\" Staff member Smith said. When asked for current take-rate numbers, Smith said the program must wait for Pulse's 90-day confirmation window before publishing exact figures but added, \"We are doing quite well in the areas that we have started in. In fact, at least 1 site is already at 20% take rate.\" Council members said they expect a fuller dashboard with subscription and take-rate statistics in the monthly report to council.

Several council members who spoke in the debate described early customer reports as positive. \"It's cheaper than what I was paying by a lot and way faster,\" Council member Jenkins said, speaking of his personal experience with Pulse in an eligible area. He and others also said Pulse had been responsive to repair requests and that most complaints had been minor and addressed.

Council asked about timing for northern neighborhoods; staff estimated later phases (Wild Wing, Saratoga, Kitchell) would likely be built in 2026 with potential go-live for the far north areas in late 2026 or early 2027. Staff also noted Old Town will be included in the current authorization: \"This funding authorization would include Old Town,\" Staff member Smith said.

Council voted 5–0 to approve Resolution 46 authorizing the $5,500,000 funding authorization for 2025.

The council directed staff to include take-rate and customer-satisfaction data in upcoming monthly reports and to ask Pulse about its plans to survey customers on satisfaction and repair responsiveness.","Town council unanimously approved Resolution 46 to authorize $5.5 million in additional funding for the Timnath Pulse fiber build, covering construction of core routes, sites 13–24, project and construction management, and roughly 800 premise installs.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6513453,"Public works: Main Street railroad project complete; Old Town sidewalk heat damage to be repaired",69,901000,970000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef&start=901&end=970","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070926-6297a2e5156a63ea854995742bca62ef/thumbnail_901000.jpg","/articles/6513453/Colorado/Public-works-Main-Street-railroad-project-complete-Old-Town-sidewalk-heat-damage-to-be-repaired","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6513453-026545518c6aec2bb1bec8a7ef9e927e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770954544&Signature=Pb126RGZewZOX0qzwQf5b-h2SqWo0WFhewkfJlXxd~mgbhclOtYJZ-Qc1VVnMGzOPBihsrk28qRQs1n5iahlSm119XgtPP1Yc2lSr0iCjVnuJbBCVFa3L5ddVFdYMx4T7U3f6ymQ6BxV0Ll4Giznt5AcV8tGK0hlS8mTEFAFidpwTpHyBoDPz9z4Js0kp-izQloejrtA4YAzsMGcqdcWCUog95vfPR6pLTfaxDJ9w9X2MBNygkPggeJPm~S6w-QxF-UHW2RsHnI5tHzifsQRcvT-VdUM5iTgMdLoLvTWnf4kkGmPGQfUkFzz1-4w7VjPiFqGHPWoK3g5XiHxvFkhvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Public Works Director Stone updated the Town Council that the Main Street Railroad project was completed on Friday and is now operating.

Director Stone said the damage is consistent with heat-induced expansion of concrete which can \"blow up\" and that the section has been barricaded. \"It's barricaded off. Right. And we're gonna get, get that fixed,\" Stone said.

Council members asked staff to prioritize the repair because Old Town pedestrian routes are used regularly; staff said they would schedule repairs and follow up with a timeline.","Public works staff reported completion of the Main Street railroad project and acknowledged a buckled sidewalk in Old Town caused by heat expansion; the sidewalk has been barricaded and will be repaired, staff said.","actionData","errors"]
