Town Board Work Session - June 8, 2026

Town Board Approves Expanded Golf Cart and LSV Access in Water Valley and Raindance Neighborhoods
The Town Board reviewed and approved Resolution 2026-29, which amends permits for the use of golf carts and low-speed electric vehicles (LSVs) within specific neighborhoods: Water Valley North, Water Valley South, Pelican Hills, Pelican Farms, and Raindance. The resolution consolidates previous permits and addresses connectivity issues, particularly between Water Valley and Raindance, with the 7th Street Pedestrian Bridge serving as a key crossing. Prohibited streets were updated, including Colorado Crossroads Boulevard and New Liberty Road. The resolution aims to improve signage and striping to direct golf carts to approved safety areas and crossings, clarifying where they can and cannot operate. The Metro Districts, represented by Steve Southern, highlighted the unique community use of golf carts for accessing amenities like water parks, orchards, and golf courses, not just for golf. The approved map updates clarify crossings on New Liberty Road and associated trails, with signage and striping to be completed. Highland Meadows and other neighborhoods not formally requesting inclusion remain unaffected.
Town Proclaims National Police Week, Honors Law Enforcement Officers
The Town Board meeting included a proclamation for National Police Week and National Peace Officers Memorial Day. Mayor Julie Klein proclaimed May 15th, 2026, as Peace Officers Memorial Day and May 11th through May 16th as Police Officers Week. The proclamation acknowledged the essential role of the Windsor Police Department and encouraged citizens to recognize the service and sacrifices of law enforcement officers. Chief of Police addressed the board, highlighting the risks faced by officers, including a 10-year high in assaults against police officers in 2025, despite a lower number of officer fatalities compared to previous years. The Chief thanked the board for recognizing the department's personnel and professional staff.
CIRSA Training Emphasizes Risk Management and Fiduciary Duties for Elected Officials
Sam Light, Deputy Executive Director and General Counsel for CIRSA (Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency), provided training to elected and appointed officials on risk management and governance. The training covered the fiduciary responsibility of elected officials, emphasizing the need to prioritize the town's interest above all others, even personal interests. Key topics included the importance of process in local government, transparency laws (Colorado Meetings Law and Colorado Open Records Act), the complexities of serial meetings, and the proper use of executive sessions. Light stressed that elected officials are public figures 24/7 and their conduct creates perceptions. He also discussed individual liability, noting protections under state and federal law but cautioning against willful and wanton conduct. The training touched upon ethics, conflict of interest rules, and the importance of perception in ethical matters. Lastly, quasi-judicial rules of engagement for decisions affecting property rights were discussed, emphasizing impartiality and the need for deliberation.
Feasibility Study Recommends New Recreation Center, Highlights Community Demand and Partnership Potential
A feasibility study for a potential new recreation center was presented. The current center, despite a recent addition, is at its capacity and lacks space for expansion, with parking also being a constraint. Market analysis indicates that the local market can support a second recreation center, with families and seniors identified as the largest user groups. Community feedback highlighted a strong desire for amenities currently unavailable or difficult to access at the existing facility. Potential locations were discussed, with an easterly focus recommended due to new development and traffic considerations. A preliminary design concept was presented, emphasizing passive and active spaces, a potential tenant space, expanded fitness areas, and a gymnasium significantly larger than the current one. The study indicated a high potential cost recovery of over 80% for operations, though not 100% as is typical for community centers. The estimated capital cost for a 120,000 sq ft facility built in 2028 is $116 million, excluding land acquisition. Discussions included a potential partnership with the town of Severance, which would contribute 25% to capital and operational costs. Next steps involve refining site selection, capital/operating costs, and developing funding strategies, potentially including a public survey.
Windsor Police Department to Upgrade Records Management System with Mark 43
The Town Board reviewed a proposal to replace the Windsor Police Department's Records Management System (RMS). The current system has been in use for nearly 20 years and is limiting the department's ability to adapt and utilize data effectively. A comprehensive selection process, involving a needs assessment, RFI, vendor reviews, and staff demos, led to the unanimous recommendation of Mark 43 as the new RMS vendor. Mark 43 was chosen for its cloud-based and mobile accessibility, robust security features, and a team composed of individuals with law enforcement backgrounds. The system is expected to improve efficiency in report writing, data analysis, and transparency. The implementation is projected to take up to 12 months, with a target launch in late 2027. Cost implications include a one-time implementation cost in 2027, but projected annual savings of $32,000 after retiring the current system and Axon Fleet, making the net cost manageable within future budgets.
