Loading...
Summary
The board approved a routine consent agenda March 31 that included a Bureau of Reclamation grant amendment (about $456,000) for Horsetooth and Pinewood reservoirs, multiple cooperative agreements naming the county central authority for wildfire resiliency code review and enforcement, a development agreement for file 21‑LAND4184, on‑call construction contracts, and an amendment extending Matthews House youth‑shelter spending through Dec. 2029.
Larimer County commissioners approved the consent agenda during their March 31 Administrative Matters meeting, covering a set of routine but substantive administrative items.
Chair Jody Shaddagh McNally summarized the consent agenda items. Among them was Bureau of Reclamation grant agreement Amendment No. 4 for work at Horsetooth and Pinewood reservoirs — described in the agenda as approximately $456,000 to support seven separate projects, including broadband cable work and asphalt repaving. The chair also read multiple cooperative agreements with local fire protection districts (including Front Range Fire Rescue, Pinewood Fire Protection District, Poudre Fire Canyon, Berthoud Fire District, Wellington Fire Protection District and Poudre Valley Fire Protection District) that designate Larimer County as the central authority for plan review, field inspections and enforcement of the state’s adopted wildfire resiliency code.
The board also reviewed a development agreement for the Hansen Conservation development (file 21‑LAND4184), described as a subdivision of 35 acres into two lots, and on‑call general construction service contracts with Delahoy Construction Inc. and Aldolphson & Peterson. Chair McNally noted Amendment 3 to a grant agreement with Matthews House to extend the spending term through December 2029 to support operation of the county’s youth shelter (The Landing), funded in part by previously allocated American Rescue Plan dollars.
Liquor special event permits for a 'Creepy Walk in the Woods' (three separate date permits in June) and a resolution excluding property from Public Improvement District Number 72 were also read as part of the consent agenda. Commissioner Kristen Stevens moved to approve the consent agenda; the board approved the motion by voice vote (recorded 'Aye,' motion passed 2‑0).
The meeting record does not show extended debate on these items; staff and contracting details were available on the county website for petitioners and members of the public who want to review individual agreements and exhibits.
