Moffat County ratifies Second Amendment resolution and sends joint letter backing leafy spurge control project

Moffat County commissioners ratified on the consent agenda a resolution reaffirming the county’s commitment to the Second Amendment and approved a joint letter to the congressional delegation supporting a local leafy spurge control project.

A commissioner summarized that the county had previously passed similar resolutions in 2019 and 2023 and said the board “had to do it unfortunately again in 2025 reaffirming our commitment to the second amendment,” adding that the prior action had been a joint resolution with the sheriff “opposing Colorado Senate Bill 2025,” language included in the consent agenda summary. The same consent package also included “a joint letter to our congressional delegation, requesting that they continue to support the work that the Iyampa Green leafy spurge control project that the, leafy spurge project group is is working on,” the commissioner said.

Those items were presented as part of the consent agenda. The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote; the transcript records “Motion and a second. All in favor? Aye,” and “Motion carries.” The consent‑agenda summary did not include the full text of the resolution or the letter; the transcript does not include the documents themselves, so the exact language and signatories are not specified in the record.

The meeting also listed a National Day of Prayer proclamation on the consent agenda and received public remarks (a prayer) from local coordinators; those ceremonial remarks were recorded separately in the public‑comment portion of the meeting.
