Windsor agendas: flood code, utility rates and budgets up for review, but no vote results yet published

Windsor's Town Board and its advisory boards spent the past two weeks on budget reviews, code amendments and a postponed liquor hearing, according to the agendas supplied for those meetings. Minutes have not been published for any meeting in this roundup, so no votes, outcomes or final dollar figures are recorded here. What follows is what each body was scheduled to take up.

Flood prevention and conditional use permits

The Town Board's October 12 agenda listed legislative action on two ordinances: Ordinance No. 2026-1751, amending flood damage prevention measures based on 2026 Larimer County Flood Insurance Rate Maps, and Ordinance No. 2026-1752, amending Municipal Code chapters 14 and 16 regarding Conditional Use Permits. The same agenda listed an executive session for legal advice and negotiation strategy for Windsor Lake Road. The agenda does not record whether either ordinance was adopted.
