The Adams County Board adopted Resolution 29 to approve a 10-year Land and Water Plan covering 2026–2035 after floor debate over the plan’s timeframe and language.

Supervisor Posdalski argued that the resolution’s language implied 1–5 year practices and that a 10-year plan could be unrealistic or inappropriate for Adams County’s agricultural, forestry and tourism industries. Posdalski moved to amend the resolution to indicate a 1–5 year timeframe; the motion failed for lack of a second and the board then proceeded to a roll call vote. The resolution passed with 17 votes in favor and one vote against.

Posdalski asked for more research into how plan proposals would affect Adams County specifically and urged future review of statewide recommendations before adoption. The chair recorded the dissent and the resolution’s adoption concluded with the board’s direction that committees and staff continue local review and implementation steps as outlined in committee materials.
