Windsor County meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Windsor boards take up oil and gas letter, housing plan, and mural funds; no votes cast

Windsor town boards met several times over the past two weeks, but no formal decisions were recorded. Agendas covered a proposed letter to Weld County on oil and gas, a draft housing action plan, and a possible $10,000 reallocation of mural grants. All meetings were agenda-only, with minutes not yet published, and two meetings were cancelled for lack of items.

Town Board: oil and gas letter, housing plan

The Town Board met twice on Aug. 10. At the regular meeting, the board considered a consent calendar that included Resolution 2026-46, approving a Weld County Public Safety Communications Services Agreement, and Resolution 2026-49, assigning a 2026 Private Activity Bond Allocation to the Windsor Housing Authority. The main action was a proposed letter to the Weld County Oil and Gas Energy Department, presented by the Town Manager. The board also heard staff reports on a budget approval for an HVAC communication system at the CRC and the May 2026 financial report. Executive sessions were scheduled for negotiations and litigation with the City of Greeley.

The Windsor Town Board had a busy two weeks, with multiple work sessions and a regular meeting agenda that included a proposed open-space land acquisition with water rights.
