The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners on June 24 adopted a resolution expressing the county's support for continued federal management and stewardship of public lands and opposing efforts to transfer or sell those lands.
The resolution, read on the record as part of the meeting, notes that roughly 62% of Boulder County's land area is public land managed by federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management and local governments. The resolution cites the economic role of outdoor recreation and ranching and references the 2023 Colorado Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) economic figures presented in the text.
The adopted text explicitly "opposes any efforts to sell, transfer, or dispose of these public lands" and "opposes any attempts to change the Antiquities Act or reduce the size of national monuments." It directs that copies of the resolution be sent to Colorado's congressional delegation, the governor and relevant federal land management agencies.
Commissioners read and adopted the resolution during the business meeting; the record shows the resolution was adopted June 24. The resolution text includes references to statewide recreation economic data from SCORP and cites public-opinion polling summarized in the packet. Commissioners thanked staff for assembling the resolution and moved on to the next agenda item.
The transcript records the resolution's text on the minutes; no separate motion language or roll-call vote beyond the adoption statement appears in the public record excerpt.
