The Adams County Board of County Commissioners used its May 13 meeting for ceremonial recognitions, accepting a commemorative quilt from the Adams County Quilters and issuing proclamations for Economic Development Week and Mental Health Awareness Month.
Commissioners recognized the Adams County Quilters’ 30th anniversary and accepted a quilt the group presented to the county. Several quilters were introduced by name at the meeting: Sue Schut (Schut), Susan Mesmer Shirley, Mary Ann Tinkleberg, Sheila Bolzover and Sarah Collins. County staff said the quilt will be displayed in the county hall; the back of the quilt is signed by participating quilters and the front incorporates a range of traditional and modern quilting techniques.
Commissioner Henson read a proclamation declaring May 11–17, 2025, Economic Development Week in Adams County. Jenny Hall, director of community and economic development for Adams County, thanked county partners including local and regional economic development organizations and county staff and highlighted the county’s land available east of Denver International Airport and ongoing collaboration with municipal and regional partners.
Commissioner Mullica read a proclamation declaring May 2025 Mental Health Awareness Month in Adams County. A county health department staff member (identified in the record as Levon) spoke about mental health access and prevention work, noting the county estimates roughly 75,000 people in Adams County this year will need mental health services and may face barriers to access. The health department reminded the public of crisis resources: Colorado Crisis Services (coloradocrisisservices.org), the crisis text line (text TALK to 38255) and the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline.
There were no public comments on these agenda items. The board then moved on to other business and photograph opportunities with the honorees and county teams.
