Larimer County commissioners unanimously approved a consent agenda on Aug. 26 that included a US Forest Service agreement modification allocating an additional $400,000 for weed control in the Cameron Peak burn scar, a letter supporting an ADU fee‑waiver grant, several policy updates and local adoptions of the 2024 International Fire Code.

The board voted 3‑0 to approve the items after Commissioner Jody Shattuck McNally moved to approve the consent agenda and Commissioner Kristin Stevens seconded the motion.

The largest single allocation on the consent agenda is a US Forest Service GRAMA modification to fund weed control work on Forest Service land in the Cameron Peak burn scar. The modification covers work through December 2028 and adds $400,000 to existing efforts, county staff said during the meeting.

The commissioners also approved a development agreement for the SIS planned land division (file no. 22‑land‑4259), which clears the way for a one‑lot land division that creates a 9‑acre buildable lot in the Fort Collins growth management area.

On housing policy, the board approved a letter of support to the Colorado Department of Local Affairs for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) grant. The county said the proposed program would launch a fee waiver for homeowners building ADUs in exchange for deed restrictions to ensure long‑term rental affordability and to expand housing options for local workers and lower‑income households.

Personnel and benefits changes approved on the consent agenda include a disaster and emergency deployment and compensation policy to reimburse employees for out‑of‑county disaster deployments, and an update to benefits policy and short‑term disability/family medical leave language that removes the requirement to exhaust sick leave and instead imposes a two‑week waiting period for qualifying staff.

The board also approved a resolution updating regulations related to the disposition of abandoned personal property to bring county regulations into alignment with state law, and accepted several local fire protection districts’ adoption of the 2024 International Fire Code (Berthoud, Front Range Fire Rescue, Loveland Fire Rescue Authority, Windsor Severance Fire Protection District).

Other consent items included multiple special‑event liquor permits, authorization to enter private lands for weed mitigation work, and approval of the Larimer County Interagency Oversight Group collaborative management bylaws, a body that will prepare plans to prevent child placement out of the home and to report annually to the board.

Earlier in the meeting, the board approved minutes for the week of Aug. 18, 2025. Commissioner John Kefalas moved to approve those minutes; the motion passed 3‑0.

No separate public hearing or additional board action was recorded for these consent items beyond the motion to approve the consent agenda.
