Adams County Board of Commissioners -- Aug. 18, 2026

The Adams County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on August 18, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. A key agenda item was the approval of Amendment Two to the contract with Maplestar Colorado Inc., doing business as Clearview, for core human services. The amendment consolidates two fixed-rate contracts into a single fee-for-service agreement totaling $852,500, aiming to improve fiscal oversight and service consistency while reducing overall costs. The board approved this resolution unanimously. Additionally, the board discussed a land use case involving United Power's request for a conditional use permit to construct a new electrical substation on a 47-acre parcel. The substation will occupy 2.5 acres and is intended to support future growth and improve power reliability in the area. The planning commission recommended approval, and the board reviewed site plans, security measures, and community concerns. The meeting also included a public hearing on the Colorado Air and Space Port Master Development Agreement, highlighting private investment and economic development opportunities, though no formal vote on the MDA was recorded during this session. An executive session was held to discuss legal advice and negotiations related to an intergovernmental agreement with RTD.
