Loading...
Summary
Larimer County commissioners approved the consent agenda, which included a Larimer County–CSU MOU (no added funding), a property exchange with Fort Collins, an intergovernmental maintenance agreement covering Loveland open-lands (cost cited at $345,500), a State contract modification for Office on Aging and several liquor licenses.
Larimer County commissioners approved a broad consent agenda on Jan. 6 that included intergovernmental agreements, contract modifications and land-use findings.
Chair Jody Shattuck McNally summarized the packet items before the board voted to approve the consent agenda by voice vote. Highlights included a memorandum of understanding with Colorado State University to continue operations of the Larimer County extension department; the chair said the MOU "has no additional funding" and preserves the department’s normal budgeting process. The board also approved what was described as a long-running property exchange with the City of Fort Collins involving Mountain Avenue parcels and a Larimer County parcel described in the packet as the "Vine" property; the arrangement includes a line-of-credit structure to support a future partner building with the city.
The board discussed termination of an earlier intergovernmental agreement and approval of a new maintenance and security agreement for designated Loveland open-lands areas (including properties identified in the packet such as VNC Smith Park/Round Mountain Trailhead, Prairie Ridge and other foothills properties). The chair cited an increased cost of service for the City of Loveland and stated "that amount is $345,500." The Larimer County Department of Natural Resources will provide grounds maintenance and security under the new agreement.
Other consent items included an addendum to the Sunrise Ranch development agreement, a State of Colorado contract modification between the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing and the Larimer County Office on Aging Services to manage in‑reach counseling contractors, several liquor license actions (new license for Farm Fusion LLC and renewals for Brown's Trading Post, Inc. and Big S Enterprises), a statement of authority for county facilities staff to sign certain property documents, tax stipulations for 2025, and three resolutions (designation of the public posting location for board meetings, and land-use findings approving Box Elder townhomes and the Valhalla Resort condominium map).
Commissioner John Kefalas moved to approve the consent agenda for Jan. 6; the motion passed by voice vote. The board did not pull any consent items for separate discussion during the meeting; details for each item are contained in the board’s consent packet.
