As part of the Voter Outreach Through Education (VOTE) Project, the Adams County Elections Department and Brighton High School teamed up for the school’s student council election in March.

County staff designed and prepared ballots for the school and supervised a Voter Service and Polling Center (VSPC) in the high school auditorium on Election Day.

Later that day, Student Government members came to the Elections facility to process their ballots.

Kristin Sullivan has been named director of the Adams County Public Works Department.

At a special public hearing today, the Adams County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution placing a temporary moratorium on new oil and gas facilities in unincorporated Adams County. The moratorium is effective immediately and will remain in place for six months or until further action by the Board.

The Board imposed the temporary moratorium due to Senate Bill 19-181 pending consideration in the Colorado General Assembly. The legislation changes the authority of local governments to regulate oil and gas development within their jurisdictions.

The Adams County Elections Department would like to have a new, custom “I Voted” sticker for upcoming elections, and we’re seeking talented Adams County high school and college students to design it.

“Engaging today’s youth in the electoral process is a major part of my mission in my new role,” says Josh Zygielbaum, Adams County Clerk and Recorder. “This is a great opportunity for students to share their creativity and to learn something about elections and the process. My office is very excited to see the designs they create.”

The Adams County Board of Commissioners will hold a special public hearing on Wednesday, March 20, at 2 p.m. to determine whether to approve a temporary moratorium on local oil and gas permit applications in unincorporated areas of the county. The public hearing will be held at the Government Center, 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy., Brighton, and will also be streamed live on the county’s YouTube channel.
