Council highlights 2024 accomplishments, approves consent items and schedules executive session
Summary
Timnath officials presented a new State of the Town video and quarterly strategic-plan update, heard staff reports including a public-health note about avian influenza at local ponds, approved the consent agenda and voted to enter an executive session on a real-property/reimbursement matter.
Mayor Robert Oxmacher opened the Feb. 25 Timnath Town Council meeting by introducing the town’s 2025 State of the Town video, which summarized 2024 accomplishments and 2025 priorities.
The video and subsequent staff reports said the town advanced broadband infrastructure (Pulse core routes were laid in Q4 2024), expanded trails and park amenities (Wild Wing Park improvements), and received a Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting for the town’s 2023 annual comprehensive financial report. Town Manager Aaron Adams told the council the fourth-quarter strategic-plan update will feed a series of land-use code amendments to be considered throughout 2025.
In department reports, Public Works Director Stone said Kechter Road/Main Street right-of-way and bridge-reimbursement work is ahead of schedule and that railroad crossing signals are tentatively due in April, which would allow spring opening of the parkway. Parks staff and Director Robinson reported confirmed detections of an avian influenza variant at the reservoir and other irrigation ponds near Wild Wing; they advised residents not to handle carcasses and pointed the public to town and Colorado Parks and Wildlife guidance posted on Timnath’s website and via social media.
Chief Jones reiterated that police coverage is now 24/7. Finance reported system upgrades and the GFOA award.
On routine business the council approved the consent agenda, consisting of approval of the Feb. 11, 2025 minutes and three resolutions: Resolution 12, Series 2025 (purchase of a 2025 Ram 3500 Tradesman truck from Fort Collins Dodge Chrysler Jeep); Resolution 13, Series 2025 (2025 municipal law agreement); and Resolution 14, Series 2025 (purchase of an HX30A vacuum excavator from Ditch Witch of the Rockies). The consent agenda passed by voice vote, 4-0.
At the end of the regular meeting the council voted to move into an executive session to discuss a potential real-property transaction and to receive legal advice and negotiate reimbursement obligations related to Timnath Lands LLC. The motion carried by voice vote; the council subsequently reconvened and adjourned.
The meeting continued with regular business and public hearing items after these reports and votes.
