Larimer County Commissioners
Becoming familiar with the three commissioners, and the role they play in the governing of the county, will be helpful if you to speak at their public meetings, which are held every Tuesday morning, 9am, at the Larimer County Courthouse, 200 West Oak, Suite 2200, Fort Collins, CO
The BOCC response
At the meeting of the Commissioners on August 20, 2019, the Larimer Alliance made a formal request that the Commissioners suspend all drilling permits until the COGCC has completed its own new rulemaking as a consequence of SB-181. The Commissioners responded on September 10, 2019, saying no, they will not do so. You can read their response here.
Oil & Gas Task Force
The Oil & Gas Task Force is a result of the SB-181; the county commissioners decided to react by creating this body. However, how the task force was formed has become controversial.
The following links are from the Larimer County Commissioners website mentioned above, but are provided here for convenience to go directly to them:
- Oil & Gas Task Regulation in the county: all the general rules. Check here for updates on how SB-181 will be implemented.
- Oil & Gas Task Force: This page contains the task force charter and the bios on the 15 members. Therein is the information that shows how 10 of the 15 members have ties to the oil & gas industry.
