Fort Lupton City Council agreed to spend $1.25 million.

“A million and a quarter isn’t that much for two months,” said Councilman Carlos Barron before the voting began during the council’s Feb. 21 meeting.

The outlays were part of both the consent agenda (items the city considers “routine”) and on the “action agenda,” which is a formal approval and discussion of matters brought up during a previous week’s study session.

“We don’t have enough carts,” he told the council. “We need more carts to drive people around.”

The winning bid was $600 higher than the next-highest bid. But Tarpley said Masek, which secured the deal, sells Yamaha golf carts, which match the rest of the course’s golf carts, utility carts, beverage carts and range carts.

“It enables us to have the same parts for the other carts,” Tarpley said.

All of the votes were unanimous, and no one from the public offered comments.

Council also approved an ordinance to set new victim compensation guidelines. Funding comes from city-issued citations. The fund helps with economic losses for victims, applicants or guardians and can cover property damage. Total monetary damages can’t exceed $2,000.

There wasn’t a specific dollar amount in the revised ordinance; rather, it said the guidelines “may be amended from time to time by approval of the City Council.”
