The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners on July 8 approved the consent agenda unanimously, advancing several contracts and intergovernmental agreements that county staff described as carrying multi-million-dollar values.

County staff said the Office of Emergency Management received a grant award through the U.S. Forest Service Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program for the Red Feather Lakes Area Wildfire Defense Project. Staff stated the award amount was approximately $9,600,000 with no match requirement and that Colorado State University would serve as a pass-through entity; the meeting record also refers to a total dollar amount of $4,700,000 in connection with the project during the discussion on the consent agenda.

Other approved items included an intergovernmental agreement with the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing and the Larimer County Office on Aging running through June 30, 2026, with a stated total of $148,592 to expand aging-and-disability resource capacity; a first-amended and restated intergovernmental agreement with the City of Loveland for funding of bridge and roadway construction over Dry Creek with a shared cost of approximately $3,900,000; and an awarded contract (B2512PN6508 and 6513) for widening and parking-lot expansion at the county fairgrounds with a price of about $2,600,000.

The board also approved an intergovernmental agreement that allows Larimer County to perform road maintenance on behalf of the City of Fort Collins for certain sections of road, with the city providing roughly $180,000 in reimbursement, plus four liquor-license matters, three rezoning/plat-related findings and resolutions (including Van Hattem rezoning, Neubauer Conservation development preliminary plat, Jacobs Conservation development preliminary plat) and a Mead administrative special review for a short-term rental.

Commissioner Jody Shattuck McNally moved to approve the minutes for the week of June 30, 2025; that motion passed unanimously. Commissioner John Kefalas moved to approve the consent agenda for July 8, 2025; the motion passed 3-0.

The meeting record does not show further debate on the consent items after staff presentation; all were approved as part of the single consent motion.
