HOA board member asks Fort Collins to review trash-hauling contract for privately maintained roads
Summary
A homeowner association board member told council the city trash-hauling contract doubled heavy truck traffic on privately maintained streets and asked for a policy review and amendments to exempt HOA roads from the Republic contract.
Jeff Taylor, an HOA board member who lives near Harmony and Lemay, asked the council to formally review the city’s trash-hauling contract, saying the contract treats privately maintained HOA roads the same as public streets and that change has increased truck traffic on his community’s private roads.
Taylor told council he reviewed seven traffic-impact documents and said his HOA’s private streets have seen truck visits rise from six per month to 12 per month under the current contract. He requested a formal review of how the contract affects privately maintained roads, amendments to return control of trash-hauling policy to HOAs that maintain their own roads, and a public roundtable in July with a follow-up in August to consider policy amendments.
Council did not take formal action during the meeting; no staff commitment or motion to change the contract was recorded.
Why it matters: Taylor said the policy change increases wear on privately maintained roads and infringes on HOA rights; he requested a review and public meetings to explore exemptions for private roads.
