OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FORT COLLINS
EXPRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL'S SUPPORT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A NEW COUNTY OFFICE BUILDING IN LOVELAND, COLORADO
WHEREAS, on the 2013 general election ballot, Larimer County citizens will be asked to
allow Larimer County to build a new County office building in Loveland, Colorado at no
additional expense to the public, rather than renovating the existing courthouse as approved by
the voters in 1997; and
WHEREAS, the current building in Loveland is crowded, inefficient and ineffective for
serving our citizens; and
WHEREAS, remodeling a forty-year-old building for today's needs is expensive,
inefficient and is not the best use of our public dollars; and
WHEREAS, Larimer County will use existing accumulated sales tax and reserves to fund
the new facility; and
WHEREAS, Larimer County will not impose any additional taxes to fund the new
County office building; and
WHEREAS, the new County office building will be less expensive to operate and will
include adequate public parking; and
WHEREAS, providing core County services in Loveland such as Motor Vehicle,
Employment, and Health and Human Services will reduce traffic congestion and provide
conveniently located services for the public in southern Larimer County.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
FORT COLLINS that the City Council hereby expresses its support for the ballot measure that
has been placed before the electors by the Latimer County Board of Commissioners, which
measure would authorize the construction of a new County courthouse building in downtown
Loveland, Colorado, using revenue previously collected and remaining from the sales and use
tax approved at the November 4, 190'election.
Passed and adopted at a regular meeting of the Council of the City of Fort Collins this 1 st
day of October, A.D. 2013.
