The Padgett Family Trust is the applicant; new owners are Claire and Richard Padgett.

Denise Grama of Community Planning and Permitting told the board the application covers a complex of contributing farm buildings including the farmhouse, barn, silo, scale house, a large chicken house, granary, a small storage shed and a newer machine shed. Grama said the farmhouse dates to about 1920 and represents the classic cottage form as defined by History Colorado. Staff found the property significant under criteria 1, 3 and 4 for its association with agricultural development in Boulder County, its association with the Laver family (longterm local farmers) and for representing a complete historic farm complex. Grama said the County’s Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) reviewed the nomination and unanimously recommended approval.

Grama noted a conservation easement exists on the property and that the driveway relocation and new address were done in coordination with county parks staff. Applicant Richard Padgett spoke briefly on the record and said, “we're excited to move ahead with this property.” No members of the public provided testimony opposed to the designation; public commenters present spoke in support of preserving historic structures generally.

Commissioner Stoltzmann moved approval of the nomination; after a second, the commissioners voted by voice to approve the landmark designation, subject to the two standard conditions describing when a Certificate of Appropriateness is required for alterations to contributing structures.

The designation covers the contributing resources cited by staff; two other buildings on the parcel (an older machine shed and a smaller chicken house) were not included because staff found them to be in poor condition and not contributing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boulder Board of County Commissioners - Regular Meeting September 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Boulder County commissioners approved landmark designation for a farm property south of Longmont (listed as 8003 N. 90th / 9200 Ogallala Road), citing agricultural significance, association with a long-term farming family and intact farm buildings; Historic Preservation Advisory Board had recommended approval unanimously.","taxTitle","Boulder County, Colorado","taxId",3385,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5977310,"Commissioners authorize executive sessions on bargaining, North Broadway property and county attorney evaluation",103,455000,558000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5819186-f213c6ee760df7b20dfed7ae14886c4d&start=455&end=558","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5819186-f213c6ee760df7b20dfed7ae14886c4d/thumbnail_455000.jpg","/articles/5977310/Boulder-County/Colorado/Commissioners-authorize-executive-sessions-on-bargaining-North-Broadway-property-and-county-attorney-evaluation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5977310-4c77972a4061e6e83dfbe0bb0db2d87d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770505078&Signature=KyIMAC4dNEmZpz1~UMgrwrIYrCUZvKSqpYLuXTosS-qAHsyN4~7B5ml-7fUcj8r5qobiqihRwe0TBvmYvQdnyhuMArqTlf~70ByOTNiDZFi4qbSjoaJHhsq5BrZ4dtLkTbeVe0476jgfLNRb9BbsGNnB882~JCqVF82X92XB0Gpc-ivAIOTeRDtPd8zXwKD2scxw5qjZy7ydHTudeFcc1GQuyV63FpZeeTi3RBPliTAZdpXQF8CfKNwokUllQxNtzBwkARcYbcHsjyoh~tJDgEhGp127IXHKwJQCBNATxM~k7uTKg-yaMd5ae1GpurxRnzZKWpcna~EXOq~YvGm8TQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners on Sept. 23 voted to authorize a series of closed sessions covering union negotiations, real property negotiations and a personnel review of the county attorney.

Deputy for the record Natalie Springett confirmed the board had noticed the topics on Sept. 16 and asked the board to authorize executive sessions on Sept. 24. For item 8(a), staff requested a session “pursuant to CRS 24-6-402 subsection 4(e), instructions to negotiators, regarding collective bargaining agreement with the Boulder County Employees Union.” The board approved the request by voice vote.

Item 8(b) requested authorization “pursuant to CRS 24-6-402 subsection 4(a)” to discuss real property issues concerning the North Broadway complex at Broadway and Iris. Commissioners approved that executive session as well.

Item 8(c) sought an executive session “pursuant to CRS 24-6-402 subsection 4(f), personnel matters,” to discuss the annual performance evaluation of County Attorney Ben Pearlman; the board voted to authorize that session.

Separately, while sitting as the Boulder County Housing Authority Board of Directors, the board authorized an executive session under CRS 24-6-402(4)(a) to discuss a potential limited partnership on an affordable housing project at 4775 Spine Road in Gunbarrel; staff clarified any public decisions would be scheduled at a later BCHA public meeting.

All four requests were approved by voice vote during the Sept. 23 meeting.","The Boulder County commissioners voted to authorize executive sessions for collective bargaining, negotiations over the North Broadway complex, and the annual performance review of the county attorney; the board also authorized a BCHA executive session on a potential limited partnership for an affordable housing project in Gunbarrel.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5977315,"Boulder County adopts 2025 policy manual updates, including first county AI policy",171,247000,418000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5819186-f213c6ee760df7b20dfed7ae14886c4d&start=247&end=418","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5819186-f213c6ee760df7b20dfed7ae14886c4d/thumbnail_247000.jpg","/articles/5977315/Boulder-County/Colorado/Boulder-County-adopts-2025-policy-manual-updates-including-first-county-AI-policy","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5977315-29ae70662c08b98c98d82fd2342685b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770505078&Signature=eaiT06XVMSdspBkNqlGi8iHiD~c7gsCqyIKwjhu8ovzHKlaInkdNeWcPOshjB-r1tI-cSgxz4gnHBJgv5ONmP5sycwU1wDw0WWJiaptnZDXcfihEwO~TK0G1HfU9kyyki9jQtzHduvi08fBnExUtbcV1m1BaK76oQeqgn0N6lNFJvjrpU~GD782u89nbCEyhgZiN1eDm1GX13E~3RWbwfyly2cs5S10YkkRakdFgXPsmw1dOLTYhEXWzNR~Kg-ORjtpL2veMa38xddDpeiSqLHLTxtPxGebB4AcrE5WY8IW~yhrn4~-WK40O43qp3jsksFvR4D06pp0fBlDtYQBgkg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners on Sept. 23 approved the county’s 2025 annual policy updates to the Policy and Personnel Manual, formalizing changes that county staff said will take effect on Jan. 1, 2026.

Akhilana Retana of the Office of the County Administrator told the board the county received 75 proposed policy changes during the annual review process; staff recommended 26 changes for adoption. Retana said the Office of Racial Equity and the County Attorney’s Office reviewed proposals and that some items remain subject to pending union negotiations.

Retana described the packages that were recommended for adoption: “This year there were 26 policy changes being presented for your approval, for the policy and personnel manual.” Commissioners praised the review process and asked that the county broadly share details of the new artificial intelligence policy. Commissioner Stoltzman said the county should make training and tools widely available so employees understand the new requirements and changes.

The board voted to approve the policy updates by voice vote. Staff said the effective date for all adopted policy changes will be Jan. 1, 2026. Retana also said 16 proposals came from employees, 59 from departments or collaborating departments, nine were administrative language changes, 15 were procedure updates and 17 were denied or deferred, in part because of pending union negotiations.

Commissioners thanked staff for coordinating the review and for cross-department collaboration in drafting the recommended language.","The Boulder County commissioners approved annual updates to the county policy and personnel manual, accepting 26 policy changes to take effect Jan. 1, 2026, and formally adding the county's first artificial intelligence policy with direction to broadly share training and guidance with staff.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5977318,"Boulder County appoints three members to new Community Housing Corporation board",129,107000,236000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5819186-f213c6ee760df7b20dfed7ae14886c4d&start=107&end=236","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5819186-f213c6ee760df7b20dfed7ae14886c4d/thumbnail_107000.jpg","/articles/5977318/Boulder-County/Colorado/Boulder-County-appoints-three-members-to-new-Community-Housing-Corporation-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5977318-670def9394ecdd8889b6942179ca6716/orig.mp4?Expires=1770505078&Signature=JaH3u~k7fd55SsbP1wT-DS3PLzFrYOQ39wzlNQMmZel-yScXOqJBWOqbGavc1DpMTl3zb~kSrXFsnk78AAwA1wc2secVUV8IayENWeOKTwnoSGCJ74aqI2TlGDue-mXAjHcSKG2f4j1fz3V283rsUiTPQG7MZ51aBEFCtj1AhH2gZ59l2WYcdGvNTKqE6c18~LqYz2qvRGXqfCwVSshj3Ja0zRDQQP8bfgY3ViVaM~My0vI5Wrl60NrG4Wsmi8yVP8rdwyg0n64Q~pOz3T3cPUxcHHX9cuqfNz7ehXM-gPALlnlAOiwFjw6QDWY~E1QQV9P9znNaRbS~6YXjQpbRCQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners on Sept. 23 appointed Eric Parton, Sean Gary and Louise Kelly to the Boulder Community Housing Corporation Board of Directors, filling three vacancies on the newly formed body concerned with affordable housing development and homeownership programs.
