City of Fountain City Council Meeting 03/102026

The City of Fountain, Colorado City Council held a meeting on March 10, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. The council approved a resolution authorizing a water rights lease with the Security Water District, enabling the city to access additional water supply to support growth, including approximately 1,000 new residential taps and commercial development. The lease involves phased water usage and associated costs, with an estimated $190,000 annual increase by 2030. The council also approved updates to the local fire code and adopted the 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, with plans to develop a local fire intensity classification map. A supplemental budget resolution was passed to carry forward unspent capital funds from 2025 and to include new expenditures, notably nearly $3 million in revenue and expenses related to a micro transit service agreement with Fort Carson, which is self-funded by the military base. Additionally, the council approved an intergovernmental support agreement with the U.S. Army to provide biohazard remediation services to Fort Carson, pending final Army approval. These actions reflect the council's focus on infrastructure, public safety, and intergovernmental partnerships to support community growth and services.
