Loveland council approves consent agenda after pulling one budget ordinance

The Loveland City Council voted 9-0 Tuesday to approve consent agenda items 4.1 through 4.5, excluding Item 4.2. The single vote advanced appointments to the Ad Hoc Community Homelessness Transition Committee, a water acquisition lease appropriation, support for the proposed Loveland Passenger Rail Station Summary and a pre-annexation utility agreement.

Before the vote, Mayor Pro Tem Andrea Samson asked how an alternate member for the homelessness transition committee would serve. Mayor Patrick McFall said the city’s new Boards and Commissions Handbook allows an alternate to be seated and vote if a voting member is absent. Samson then moved to adopt the consent agenda with Item 4.2 excluded, and McFall seconded the motion.

During the ordinance reading, Samson noted that Item 4.2, Ordinance 6833, had been pulled from the consent agenda and moved to the end of the meeting agenda. She then read Item 4.3, Ordinance 6834, a supplemental budget and appropriation for a water acquisition lease.

After roll call, Samson announced the result as nine yes votes and no no votes. The approved consent package also included Item 4.1, appointments to the homelessness transition committee; Item 4.4, Resolution R-28-2026, on the proposed passenger rail station summary for the Front Range Passenger Rail District; and Item 4.5, Resolution R-29-2026, on a pre-annexation agreement for wastewater and electric service to 408 14th Street SE while annexation and zoning proceed.
