Loveland City Council, Oct. 20, 2026

Stories from this meeting

1. Loveland churches consider winter shelter; no sign-ups yet, chair says

   The proposed rotation would put churches on dangerous-weather nights, with Serve 68 coordinating supplies. Existing emergency-response funds could cover costs without a new appropriation, but may also be needed for future encampment cleanups.

   Item 7.1

2. Loveland sends all 22 charter review applicants to public interviews

   The council has not set an interview date; staff will return with options after reviewing the process. Once appointed, the committee will have nine members and two alternates and draft charter changes for council consideration.

   Item 7.2Carried, 8–0

3. Loveland advances $935,499 for airport runway widening

   The increase draws on federal grant revenue and the Airport Fund’s unassigned balance, with no General Fund money. Work also includes lighting, signage, drainage and taxiway improvements, with substantial completion expected in early November.

   Item 7.3Carried, 8–0

4. Loveland adopts 2027 rates; staff estimates $7.30 average monthly residential power bill increase

   The schedule replaces prior city, Stormwater Enterprise and Utilities Department rates for bills mailed Jan. 1 or later. The General Fund property-tax rate remains 9.564 mills.
