Boulder County approves disaster-staffing contract extensions, authorizes executive session and backs public‑lands resolution

Boulder County commissioners on June 24 approved several routine items and three notable measures: extensions for disaster supplemental staffing contracts, authorization for an executive session on a regional housing intergovernmental agreement, and a resolution expressing strong support for federal management of public lands.

Peyton Quistorf, senior project manager in the county administrator’s office, asked the board to extend four supplemental staffing contracts that were procured to support Marshall Fire, wind‑event and pandemic recovery work. "I'm Peyton Quistorf, senior project manager ... I'm here today to request approval to extend 4 supplemental staffing contracts related to disaster recovery," Quistorf said during the meeting. The contracts named were AC Disaster Consulting, IEM International, Insight Global and Synergy Disaster Recovery; staff requested extensions through the end of the procurement period in March 2027 so those vendors can continue to meet reporting requirements and remain on retainer for future disasters. A motion to approve the extensions was moved and seconded and the board voted in favor.

The board also authorized an executive session on Thursday, June 26, 2025, at 10:30 a.m., with County Attorney Ben Perlman under Colorado’s open‑meetings statute CRS 24‑6‑402(4)(b) for legal advice regarding the 2025 amended and restated Boulder‑Broomfield Home Consortium intergovernmental agreement. Natalie Springett, deputy for the record, presented the request and commissioners approved the authorization by motion and recorded aye votes.

Commissioners Stoltzmann and Levy read a resolution expressing Boulder County’s support for continued federal management and stewardship of public lands, citing economic and recreational data from the 2023 Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and urging Colorado’s congressional delegation and federal land-management agencies to oppose efforts to transfer or dispose of public lands or to weaken the Antiquities Act. The resolution text states it was "adopted this June 24," though the meeting transcript does not record a separate roll‑call vote in the minutes beyond the reading and the adoption language in the resolution itself.

Other procedural items recorded on the agenda included multiple consent‑agenda approvals across the Housing Authority, Board of Equalization and Board of County Commissioners, and a scheduling notice from the clerk that a Planning & Permitting public hearing (LU‑2054, Pando Earthwork) scheduled for 1:00 p.m. that day was tabled to a date uncertain.

What happens next: the disaster supplemental staffing contracts will remain in effect through the procurement period (staff said March 2027) unless absorbed by a larger upcoming supplemental staffing procurement; the executive session is scheduled for June 26 to obtain legal advice on the consortium IGA; and the public‑lands resolution will be distributed to Colorado’s congressional delegation, the governor’s office and relevant federal agencies as stated in the resolution text.
