Clear Creek County commissioners approve 2027 legislative agenda proposal emphasizing revenue diversification
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners approved a 'Diversifying county revenue' proposal for submission to Colorado Counties Inc. as part of the county’s 2027 legislative agenda and discussed subject-matter-expert designation and minor edits before voting to submit.
Clear Creek County commissioners voted to approve a 2027 legislative agenda submission to Colorado Counties Inc. entitled “Diversifying county revenue.” During the county portion of the meeting, commissioners discussed language edits, the scope of inter-county collaboration and the potential designation of subject-matter experts on staff to support the proposal.
Commissioners said the proposal responds to widespread staffing and budget pressures across Colorado counties; one commissioner noted that 52% of counties last year froze wages, laid off staff or reduced benefits. The board agreed the final submission could accept minor edits from partnering counties and that staff listed as subject-matter experts would calibrate their level of commitment based on workload.
A motion to approve the form and submit it to Colorado Counties Inc. passed by voice vote. The board then moved into executive session to discuss personnel matters and later reconvened and adjourned the public meeting.
The transcript records the approval by voice vote but does not include a roll-call tally in the public hearing record.
