County approves chip‑seal and youth‑services contracts, ratifies disaster declaration; consent calendar passes
Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Adams County Board of County Commissioners approved a $922,613.63 chip‑seal contract, a four‑year $1.6 million youth‑services contract, ratified a disaster declaration following a tornado and passed the consent calendar; all motions passed unanimously, 5–0.
The Adams County Board of County Commissioners on May 20 approved several routine and emergency items, including a road preservation contract and a four‑year youth services agreement, and ratified a disaster declaration related to Sunday’s tornado damage.
The board voted 5–0 to approve a contract with Vance Brothers, LLC, not to exceed $922,613.63 for the county’s 2025 seal (chip‑seal) program. Public Works Director Brian Staley told the board the program will preserve about 33 lane miles of county roadways and that the county’s interactive map shows planned locations online.
The board also unanimously approved a new core contract with Justice Works totaling $1,600,000 for the period June 1, 2025, through May 31, 2029. Human Services Director Katie McDougall said the contract will fund youth intervention, removal prevention, mobile intervention, life skills and home‑based services. McDougall said the funding mix for the contract is 80% federal, 20% state and county funds.
Commissioners ratified a disaster declaration tied to a tornado in unincorporated Adams County, a step county staff said enables use of emergency procedures, cooperation agreements and potential state or federal assistance. County Attorney Heidi (surname not specified in the record) said the chair signed the emergency declaration yesterday to ensure immediate resources, and the board later ratified that action 5–0.
The board also approved the consent calendar 5–0. Separate land‑use items were addressed later in the meeting; the board continued two land‑use hearings (see separate coverage).
