Larimer County commissioners approve consent agenda, authorize landfill cell contract and housing grants
Summary
The Larimer County Board of Commissioners approved a consent agenda that included housing and eviction-prevention grants, a jail-services amendment, a $8.3 million landfill cell construction contract and a resolution denying a proposed amusement-park expansion. Abatement items 1–11 were removed at the applicant's request.
The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners voted 3-0 on Feb. 4 to approve the meeting's consent agenda, authorizing several contracts, grants and administrative items and removing abatement items 1 through 11 at the applicants' request.
The consent agenda approved a HomeShare 2025 grant agreement with Neighbors to Neighbors for $30,000, a jail-services amendment covering municipal sentenced and presentence offenders from the city of Fort Collins for $237,363.15 through the end of 2025, a construction contract for the first 20-acre municipal solid waste landfill cell (Cell 1, an engineered liner system) for $8,319,470.41 (the county said the new cell is north of Wellington), and an eviction-prevention grant agreement with Neighbors to Neighbors for $289,000 through Dec. 31, 2025. The board also approved appointments, three liquor-license actions and several miscellaneous administrative items listed online.
The board approved two appointments (a rescission to the Workforce Development Board and two named appointments, Erica Lee and Bella de la Torre), a recommended appointment to the Estes Valley Public Library District, and liquor-license matters including a club license for Fort Collins B P O E Elks Lodge, a transfer for Glen Echo Liquors LLC in Bellevue and a renewal for Worthwhile LLC d/b/a Inlet Bay Marina (fermented malt beverage on/off premises).
Miscellaneous items approved on consent included authorization for legal action on two code-compliance cases (case numbers 25CCC0006 and 25CCC0021), certification of road mileage to the Colorado Department of Transportation (mileages through December 2024), a fourth-quarter public trustee report (Oct.–Dec. 2024), Larimer County legislative positions, an expense report for the quarter ending Dec. 31, 2024, and an administrative change for a victim-services grant to replace the project official name from Timothy Hand to Emily Humphrey as required by the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice.
The board also adopted a findings-and-resolution denying the Mustang Mountain Coaster expansion as a change in character of a nonconforming use; the board packet lists that resolution as part of the consent agenda. Chair Kristen Stevens said abatements 1–11 were being pulled from consent because an applicant requested a hearing with a referee. Commissioner Jody Shattuck McNally moved to approve the consent agenda as amended; the motion passed 3-0.
