What remains gated.

The Colorado Open Records Act (CORA, CRS §24-72-201 et seq.) requires the city to produce non-exempt public records within three working days of a request, subject to reasonable extension for voluminous records. Use the city’s online form or written request to the City Clerk (clerk@cityofloveland.org, 500 E 3rd St Ste 330, Loveland CO 80537). Fees are typically waived for the first hour of staff time.

The ten requests

1. Procurement and broker records for 599 W 71st St + prior IA-LLP easement transactions. All correspondence between City personnel and any agent or broker representing IA Franklin LLC, Investors Associated LLP, Patrick F. Carroll, Michael D. Schutte, or any IA-LLP single-asset shell — specifically IA EARHART LLC and IA MEDFORD LLC, which granted easements to the City of Loveland on 25 February 2025 and 30 July 2025 respectively — between 1 January 2024 and 1 February 2026. C&W FC commission disclosure on the proposed 599 W 71st purchase: closing-file documents, listing-broker engagement records, and Tyler Murray (CO RE License FA.100065482) / Travis Ackerman commission-disclosure documentation. The Ben Hurd of IA Commercial Leasing scope is retained as a secondary target. Any RFP, sole-source justification, or broker engagement related to identifying a shelter site. Answers: who introduced 599 W 71st to the city; whether the prior easement-granting interactions established a counterparty relationship that should have been disclosed during the 2026 procurement.

Answers: was the $2.85M price benchmarked against any independent valuation, or accepted at the seller’s ask.
3. City Attorney nexus opinion for Fund 268 → homeless shelter. Any memoranda, opinion letters, e-mail, or other written analysis prepared by the City Attorney’s office between 1 July 2025 and 6 January 2026 evaluating whether Capital Expansion Fees in Fund 268 were a permissible source for the acquisition of 599 W 71st St for use as a homeless shelter or resource center.

4. City Manager / Community Partnership Office correspondence with Bridge House.

Statement of Personal Interest (SOPI) review — collateral request

Under CRS §24-6-202, every elected official files an annual Statement of Personal Interest disclosing financial interests, real-property holdings, and outside income. Loveland files these with the City Clerk; they are not posted online.

Request: SOPI filings for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 calendar years for all sitting members of Loveland City Council (Pat McFall, Andrea Samson, Rothberg (W2), Swanty (W1), Wyrick (Caitlin, W3), Frahm, Cortez (Ezekiel “Zeke”), Middleton (Kalina), Light-Kovacs (Laura, W4)), the City Manager, the Community Partnership Office director, and the Facilities Operations Manager (Michael Hogan).

Frahm SOPI is the priority retrieval target — his homes.com structured-data record names Group Centerra as employer and he cast YES on R-10-2026 (the resolution naming Centerra Properties West LLC as Developer). The City Clerk’s SOPI archive is the document that resolves whether the brokerage affiliation was on the public record at the time of the 17 Feb 2026 vote. Pair with a transcript check of Cablecast show #676 (17 Feb 2026) for any on-record recusal statement.

Answers: any financial relationship, however attenuated, between a city decision-maker and Investors Associated, IA Franklin, SPK Enterprises, Land Title Guarantee, Bridge House, Centerra Properties West, Realberry, Group Centerra, The Group Inc., or named officers of those entities.
