Commissioners back $66,000 commercial-landscaper grant carryover, defer several personnel and program requests to 2026 budget
Summary
Larimer County commissioners directed staff to fund $66,000 to cover organizations on the landscaping-equipment pilot waiting list, asked Health and Environment to submit a sustainability proposal, and deferred other new general-fund requests — including an Extension natural-resources coordinator — to the 2026 budget process.
Larimer County commissioners on March 26 agreed by consensus to use $66,000 in 2024 carryover funds to pay outstanding grants from a commercial landscaping electrification pilot and asked the Health and Environment Department to return with a service-proposal for sustainable funding.
The pilot reimburses commercial landscape contractors for electric equipment; staff told commissioners the pilot was quickly fully subscribed and that roughly 10 organizations remained on a waiting list. Alex Jordan, budget analyst, said the $66,000 would "support the original backlog of 10 commercial landscapers that did not receive" funds during the initial round. Commissioners asked staff to disburse those waiting-list funds promptly and to prepare options for cost-sharing or partner contributions before 2026.
