The Loveland City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve Ordinance No. 6833, appropriating $368,417 in 2026 Community Development Block Grant funds. The measure funds the city’s 2026-27 CDBG appropriation, with 80% of the money allocated to nonprofit organizations for eligible infrastructure and service-based projects benefiting Loveland residents.

The ordinance had been placed on the consent agenda but was pulled for separate discussion by Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Samson, who said she still had questions about the city’s administrative costs, staff resources and overall participation in the program. By the time the item returned at the end of the regular agenda, Mayor Patrick McFall said his understanding was that Samson’s questions had been answered.

McFall asked whether council wanted a presentation on the item, but none was requested. No one spoke during public comment, and there was no council discussion before the vote. Council then approved the ordinance 9-0 on second reading.

The appropriation had already passed first reading 9-0 at the council’s May 26 special meeting. Tuesday’s vote gave final approval to the ordinance, listed earlier in the meeting as Item 4.2 before it was moved off the consent agenda and heard later as Item 7.6.
