# Board of County Commissioners Meeting 10-13-2026

The El Paso County Board of County Commissioners meeting on October 13, 2026, included two unanimous 5–0 spending-related approvals. The board approved the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department’s 2027 budget, with projected revenue of $22,134,481, expenses of approximately $23.1 million, and a budgeted net loss of $875,536. The budget includes staffing and compensation costs, including four positions, and reflects adjustments to operating and capital expense categories. The board also approved a tax increment revenue agreement with the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority for the Sugar Bowl Urban Renewal Plan. The approximately $60 million project would provide affordable senior housing and Silver Key senior-center space in southeast Colorado Springs; county staff described the county’s contribution as property-tax increment financing, with no sales-tax increment, and estimated its present value at about $225,000. Commissioners discussed the public-infrastructure rationale and the impact of dedicating county tax revenue.

The county treasurer also reported on a property-tax prepayment program and a newly launched tax-history dashboard. The prepayment portal was developed by a vendor at no cost to the county; staff said a paid version would have cost more than $250,000. No new competitive solicitation or vendor award was presented. Other discussion included a public comment about the county master-plan amendment and community participation, commissioner reports, and an executive-session request concerning potential litigation.
