Clear Creek County approves appointment list, organizational chart and opioid council nominations; makes targeted edits

Clear Creek County commissioners approved their annual appointment list and an updated organizational chart at the Jan. 7 meeting, carrying out statutory duties for the first regular meeting of the year. The board also approved a resolution appointing certain members and alternate members to the opioid council for Region 10 (the Gateway to the Rockies Opioid Council, GROC) with a specific edit removing the court‑system seat pending further intercounty coordination.

On the appointment list (Resolution 25‑02), the board agreed to several administrative changes discussed in the meeting: leave selected seats vacant where a short interval exists before the incoming commissioners take office, restore the I‑70 Coalition representative temporarily so the current vice chair can attend a meeting, add the Clear Creek Housing Authority to the BOCC box on the organizational chart and update several collaborative committee assignments (for example, the county’s representative on the regional transportation TAC and the small area forecast working group). The board asked staff to reformat the appointment list by theme and to include short descriptions of each outside body to aid incoming commissioners.

The board approved Resolution 25‑10 (opioid council) with the explicit edit to remove the court‑system representative and court alternate from the county’s slate; staff and the board said those seats are appointed through the regional council process and require agreement among the three counties in the council region. The resolution passed after a motion and second; the record shows the board voted in favor.

As part of the organizational housekeeping the board accepted an updated 2025 organizational chart that reallocated several direct reports to emphasize strategic community planning and economic development. The chart also formally placed the Clear Creek Housing Authority under the BOCC box and added a county contract program (noxious‑weed/crew program) to Public Works in the chart.

Ending: The appointments list and organizational chart were approved "as modified" and will be refiled with the noted updates; staff will contact partner organizations and incoming commissioners so appointments and calendar items are in place for the next meeting cycle.
