Commissioner Jankowski leads meeting amid absence of Representative Velasco

The Garfield Board of County Commissioners held a meeting on July 21, 2025, where key discussions included a recap of the 2025 legislative session. The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the presence of all commissioners, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence.

One of the main agenda items was a recap of the recent legislative session, which was intended to be presented by Representative Velasco. However, she was not in attendance, leaving the commissioners without the expected insights on legislative developments.

During the meeting, there were no public comments from citizens, as indicated by the absence of raised hands on the Zoom platform. This lack of public engagement may reflect either a lack of pressing issues or a need for increased outreach to encourage community participation.

The meeting concluded without further discussion on the legislative recap, highlighting the importance of communication between local government and state representatives. The commissioners will likely seek to reschedule the recap with Representative Velasco to ensure that the community is informed about relevant legislative changes and their potential impact on Garfield County.
