Commissioners approve draft minutes and consent agenda including $456,350 Bureau of Reclamation grant amendment
Summary
The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners voted 3‑0 on July 29 to approve draft minutes for the week of July 21, 2025, and a consent agenda containing agreements, grant amendments, an easement and a code‑adoption request.
The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners voted 3‑0 on July 29 to approve two procedural items: the draft minutes for the week of July 21, 2025, and a consent agenda containing agreements, grant amendments, an easement and a code‑adoption request.
Commissioner Jody Shattuck McNally moved to approve the draft minutes for the week of 07/21/2025; the motion passed by voice vote with all present commissioners saying "Aye." Later in the meeting Commissioner John Kefalas moved to approve the consent agenda; that motion also passed 3‑0.
Items on the consent agenda, as read into the record by staff, included:
- A revocable right‑of‑way encroachment agreement between Larimer County and the City of Loveland to allow the construction of a permanent entry feature and a steel truss archway over Arena Circle west of the Fairgrounds Avenue intersection.
- A perpetual drainage agreement between Larimer County and Prospecting Out West (effective July 29) to address on‑site drainage obligations.
- Bureau of Reclamation 2023 Title 28 grant amendment No. 1, which adds $228,350 in Bureau of Reclamation funds and expands the project scope to include four additional projects; the staff summary said the total award for the amended project equals $456,350.
- Bureau of Reclamation 2023 Title 28 grant amendment No. 2, which codified the $456,350 grant and modified the scope of work for capital projects on reclamation‑owned lands.
- A permanent easement for Fossil Creek Reservoir Natural Area granting rights to Fort Collins Sanitation District for construction and maintenance of a culvert under Carpenter Road and an associated stormwater outfall channel; staff said Larimer County Open Lands recommended approval and total compensation for the easement acquisition is $3,086.
- A renewal of a hotel and restaurant liquor license for the Clarion Hotel.
- A miscellaneous policy cleanup to clarify language on out‑of‑state remote work in county employment conditions.
- Two resolutions: a finding and resolution approving amended special review and appeal for Sunrise Ranch (addressing unpermitted additions; public hearing held May 21, 2025), and a request from Poudre Valley Fire Protection District to apply the 2024 International Fire Code and associated local modifications in areas of the district located in unincorporated Larimer County (staff referenced Poudre Valley Fire Protection District Resolution 2025‑08).
All consent items were approved as read; commissioners did not remove any items for separate discussion. No further roll‑call vote details were recorded beyond the motion and the unanimous voice votes.
Ending: The board concluded the consent‑agenda actions with two unanimous approvals (minutes and the consent agenda). Items approved include grant funding for reclamation projects, a low‑value easement for drainage infrastructure, intergovernmental agreements, a liquor license renewal and a local fire‑code adoption request; any required contract documents and detailed staff reports will be posted in county records.
