Boulder County advances budget amendments, revisits behavioral health and comp plan items
A June 25 hearing covered second-quarter budget amendments, while county records show the behavioral-health tax spending plan had been approved a week earlier and the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update returned for deliberation.
Boulder County commissioners used a June 25 hearing to review a broad set of second-quarter 2026 budget amendments, including carryforwards, contract continuations and capital projects, according to the county agenda packet.
The packet lists requests tied to disaster-recovery staffing, Head Start subsidies, IT capital, the sheriff's office Flock Safety contract shared with Lyons and Superior, Road and Bridge work, dedicated resource funds, sustainability and emergency-services projects, a fleet fueling kiosk replacement and repairs at the recycling center.
But the available record does not show line-by-line changes adopted at the hearing or a revised budget table after discussion, so the scope of any final amendments is not clear from the accessible materials.
The same packet also says the county's mental and behavioral health sales-and-use-tax package had already been approved June 18. It projects fund expenses of $8.875 million in 2026, $10.4 million in 2027 and $10.52 million in 2028.
Projected annual spending in the plan includes $800,000 for in-school youth services in Boulder Valley School District, $800,000 for in-school youth services in St. Vrain Valley School District and $1 million for adult and youth innovative services, along with funding for direct services, case management and competitive grants.
Commissioners also took up the Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan major update, docket BVCP-25-0001. The agenda says public testimony was heard June 11 and was not reopened June 25, indicating the board had moved into deliberations on the recommended 10-year update.
