County approves contracts, tax and land changes

Larimer County approved a $7,099,429.52 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families contract with the Colorado Department of Human Services for July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. A child-care amendment adds up to $1 million to the Larimer Child Care Fund Waitlist Bridge Fund for subsidies. CR 69 and CR 74E guardrail work must start by Nov. 24, 2026, if the county issues a notice to proceed, unless the notice sets a later date. The work must finish within 20 working days; the county may withhold $1,300 per calendar day after the completion date. The county authorized its land agent to sign closing documents for conveying part of Forest Road 129 to the U.S. Forest Service. The board approved a resolution accepting the right-of-way and stating its intent to convey it to the U.S. Forest Service. The board also vacated public right-of-way in the Hill and Hill Two Conservation Developments. Other approvals included GoogleFi tax-refund petitions for 2024 and 2025, Rodeo Board reappointments, assessor review of abatement petitions, liquor-license actions, a 6% special-event permit in Estes Park and property-tax stipulations.
