22. Resolution 2024-010 Authorizing the Initiation of Exclusion Proceedings of Annexed
Properties Within the Territory of the Poudre Valley Fire Protection District and Authorizing
an Intergovernmental Agreement with Said District.
The purpose of this item is to authorize the City Attorney to file a petition in Larimer County District
Court to exclude the property annexed into the City in 2023 from the Poudre Valley Fire Protection
District (the “District”) in accordance with state law. The property affected by this Resolution is
the Thompson Thrift Spaulding Addition Annexation. Colorado Revised Statutes Section 32-1-
502 requires an order of exclusion from the District Court to remove the annexed property from
special district territories. The property has been receiving fire protection services from the
Poudre Fire Authority and will continue to do so. The City Attorney’s Office files the petition in
Larimer County District Court each year seeking exclusion for all properties annexed in the
previous year that should be removed from the District to avoid double taxation.
23. Resolution 2024-011 Authorizing the City Manager to Execute an Agreement Between the
City of Fort Collins and the City of Greeley Regarding Certain Aspects of the Halligan Water
Supply Project, Including Water Quality Analysis, Mitigation Measures, and Milton Seaman
Reservoir Release Gate Design.
The purpose of this item is to authorize a proposed agreement (“Proposed Agreement”) between
the City of Fort Collins (“Fort Collins”) and the City of Greeley (“Greeley”) (together, “Cities”)
regarding certain aspects of the Halligan Water Supply Project (“Halligan Project”). Greeley owns
Milton Seaman Reservoir on the North Fork of the Poudre River (“North Fork”), downstream of
the Halligan Project. Greeley is undergoing a time sensitive capital infrastructure replacement
project for the release gate on their reservoir. Fort Collins desires that the new release gate also
be able to bypass and account for Halligan Project releases. In addition, Greeley anticipates that
there may be water quality impacts caused by certain operational changes due to the Halligan
Project. The Cities are working collaboratively on these issues.
Under the Proposed Agreement, the Cities would collaboratively study and do design work. The
Cities would:
o retain AECOM as a consultant for Phase 1 (Analysis and Preliminary Design) to perform a jointly
agreed upon scope of work (release gate design and water quality identification and mitigation);
o agree to use the results of Phase 1 to develop a plan for Phase 2 (Implementation); and
o agree to a 50/50 cost share for Phase 1, $553,490 (Fort Collins’ obligation $276,745).
Fort Collins staff’s analyses indicate that the Proposed Agreement is beneficial to the City and
the Halligan Project. An anticipated subsequent agreement on Phase 2 would be brought to
Council.
