Collins-Timnath Intergovernmental Agreement Regarding Cooperation on Annexation
Growth Management, and Related Issues, Eliminating Original Terms Related to the
Boxelder Overflow Project and Establishing the Terms of Cost Sharing for Design
Engineering of Substituted Improvements in the Boxelder Basin.
On February 17, 2009, the City of Fort Collins (City) and the Town of Timnath (Timnath)
entered into an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) regarding annexations, growth
management, and related issues. The IGA resolved certain differences that had arisen
between the City and Timnath concerning a variety of planning and growth management
issues. The IGA sets forth provisions for the funding, design and construction of the
Boxelder Overflow Project. The IGA has been amended three times since for items such as
the extension of deadlines for approval of the respective GMA's and the deletion of all
references to Timnath's possible purchase of the Vangbo property.
The parties have determined that development of the Boxelder Overflow Project originally
contemplated by Timnath as described in the Intergovernmental Agreement is neither
feasible nor desirable, and have further identified a mutually beneficial alternative approach
to address flood impacts in the Boxelder Creek Basin as it impacts Timnath and Fort Collins,
referred to as the Boxelder Creek Flood Mitigation Projects. In order to move forward
cooperatively to further investigate, conceptually plan and preliminarily design the Boxelder
Creek Flood Mitigation Projects, the parties desire to apply toward those Projects a portion
of the funds previously paid into an escrow account by Fort Collins in accordance with
Article 7 of the Intergovernmental Agreement. The City and Timnath are entering into this
Fourth Amendment to the Intergovernmental Agreement in order to clarify and document
their intentions and mutual rights'and responsibilities with respect to the Boxelder Overflow
Project and Boxelder Creek Flood Mitigation Projects.
