Larimer County commissioners approve consent agenda including opioid-settlement funds, water-rights sale to Windsor and broadband expansion
Summary
The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners approved a broad consent agenda on June 30, 2026, including an opioid-settlement grant to the sheriff’s office, sale of 45 Colorado Big Thompson water units to the Town of Windsor, a broadband IGA expansion, workforce/WIOA agreements and routine deeds and licenses.
The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners approved its consent agenda at an administrative matters meeting on June 30, 2026, clearing a suite of routine agreements, grants and land transactions.
Chair Jody Shadd McNally said staff recommended approval of the consent agenda and reviewed key items, including franchise agreements with multiple cable companies that require a 5% gross-revenue payment for unincorporated areas and 1% public-education-and-government (PEG) fees, each running seven years to May 31, 2033. She also described an intergovernmental agreement to deliver opioid-settlement funds to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office to implement the Continuum to the Community project, a three-year grant involving the sheriff’s office, the board and the Department of Law.
The board also approved an agreement to sell 45 Colorado Big Thompson water units (45 acre-feet) to the Town of Windsor. Shadd McNally said staff researched options to retain the water for regional use and worked to keep it in the region by completing the sale to Windsor. The board considered a related statement of authority empowering land agent Justin Core to execute documents for the sale and to process the application to release Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District allotment contracts.
Other consent items included Amendment No. 5 to the state-funded behavioral health corresponder services contract (extending the agreement through June 30, 2027); eight workforce and economic development/WIOA items, including an option letter and memoranda of understanding; a lease amendment expanding premises at 2573 Midpoint with a term through July 2034; and an intergovernmental agreement with Fort Collins Connection to extend broadband service into mobile-home parks and other areas using BEAD or matching funds.
The agenda also listed two liquor-license renewals (including one in Red Feather Lakes and a Fort Collins convenience-store location), multiple right-of-way deeds for County Road 70 road improvements, a required solid-waste insurance letter to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment documenting landfill-closure liability and capacity, and several resolutions and tax-year stipulations. A commissioner moved to approve the consent agenda for June 30, 2026, and the board approved it by voice vote.
"I'm so proud of staff and their innovative solutions and research on that," Shadd McNally said of efforts to keep water rights in the region. The meeting record shows no items were pulled from the consent agenda for separate discussion.
