Larimer County BOCC Work Session 6/29/26, 1:30 p.m. - Community Planning, Infrastructure & Resources

The Larimer County Board of County Commissioners held a work session on June 29, 2026, focusing on community planning, infrastructure, and resources. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the animal services contract with NOCO Humane, including an overview of services provided, contract valuation methodology, and a 6% contract increase due to reduced licensing revenue and cost adjustments. The commissioners also reviewed the launch of the Backyard Boost program, funded by a Colorado Department of Local Affairs grant, which offers fee waivers for building accessory dwelling units (ALUs) in exchange for three-year affordability deed restrictions. The program aims to support affordable housing goals and is set to launch on July 1, 2026, with plans for workshops and community outreach. Discussions included program monitoring, potential future funding, and integration with housing stability services. Additional updates covered ongoing collaboration between county departments and future planning commission meetings related to land use and development rights.
