Board of Trustees Work Session & Regular Meeting - June 9, 2026

Town Board Discusses Applying Updated Capital Investment Fees to Existing Developments
The Town Board engaged in a work session and discussion regarding the timing and effect of Ordinance 12-2024 and 02206, which pertains to capital investment fees for existing approved developments. The core issue is how to apply updated capital investment fees to projects already in the development pipeline, balancing predictability for developers with the financial health of utility funds. Staff presented a proposed ordinance (4-2026) that would define 'pipeline development' with specific criteria and offer a four-year lock-in period at previously adopted impact fees (effective January 1, 2025), with a full transition to updated fees by April 1, 2030. Financial analysis was provided, indicating that permit timing, rather than fee levels, is the main driver of utility fund revenue. Two scenarios (A and B) were modeled to show potential impacts on fund balances and project deferments. Scenario B, which assumes more permits processed with the lower 2025 fee during the lock period, projects stronger near-term fund balances and reduced risk of rate pressure. The board was asked for direction on whether to proceed with the proposed ordinance, a revision, or an entirely different approach. The board indicated a preference for pursuing Scenario B with the four-year lock.
Town Board Approves Appropriation Adjustment for Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project
The Town Board discussed Resolution 19-2026, which adjusts appropriations in the water fund's capital projects for the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project. This resolution is a mechanism to make funding available in the budget to legally spend unanticipated revenue, specifically a $440,000 grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board and a $70,000 line item transfer. The total available funding for the project is now approximately $1.36 million, aligning with the updated project estimate of $1.3 million, including contingency. This adjustment will result in using $60,000 less in fund balance than originally planned. The resolution does not approve the project itself or any contracts; those decisions will be made in separate action items. The resolution also updates the project name from 'Automated' to 'Advanced' Metering Infrastructure to align with industry standards. Staff recommended adoption.
Wellington Senior Resource Center Contract Renewal Approved, Board Praises Services
The Town Board approved Resolution 18-2026, renewing the contract for the Wellington Senior Resource Center, Inc. Dorothy McClintock, the Senior Center Coordinator for nine years, presented an overview of the center's activities, highlighting the vital role of town support for facilities and bus maintenance. The senior bus provides transportation for medical appointments within a 15-mile radius and for center members to attend programs or visit. The center currently has 118 members, including 26 new members this year. They host three annual fundraisers (pancake breakfast, Christmas bazaar, high tea) and offer services like senior haircuts, foot care, and meal programs. Activities include a five-star band, potlucks, birthday celebrations, group outings, card games, book clubs, and Tai Chi classes. The center also contributes to the community through volunteer work. The board expressed appreciation for the center's work and Dorothy McClintock's service, with Trustee Blackstone particularly enjoying the high tea event and Trustee Blackstone expressing interest in hearing memories of 'Wellama' from long-term residents and seeking feedback on a potential community center.
Town Board Authorizes Purchase of Materials for Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project
The Town Board discussed Resolution 21-2026, which authorizes funds for the purchase of materials for water meter replacement as part of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project. This resolution covers the cost of remaining meters, radios, meter pits, and fittings needed to replace meters with AMI-compatible systems. The total cost authorized by this resolution is $791,849.85. This purchase is separate from the installation contract (Resolution 20-2026, which was postponed) and the base station installation. The materials can be ordered while legal terms for the installation contract are finalized, mitigating potential lead time delays. The board also heard that the AMI project will eventually include a customer-facing portal, though this is not part of the current scope or budget.
