City of Fountain City Council Meeting 04/28/2026

The City of Fountain, Colorado City Council held a meeting on April 28, 2026, which included presentations recognizing National Small Business Day and Older Americans Day. The council discussed various community updates, public safety issues, and legislative matters. A significant portion of the meeting focused on utility rate schedules, where staff recommended updates to utility fees to better reflect actual costs and reduce the burden on general ratepayers by charging specific fees to customers who request or impact certain services. The council debated and ultimately approved adjustments to deposits and late fees, including eliminating the double deposit for poor credit and maintaining supplemental deposits for high-risk customers. Additionally, the council approved Resolution 26-024 authorizing participation in opioid settlement agreements to receive funds for community programs. The meeting also included a resolution to award a professional services agreement for a comprehensive city plan update, though details on that item were not fully covered in the transcript provided.
