Adams County posted a livestream of a Board of County Commissioners public hearing labeled "Public Hearing January 27, 2026," and the recording is available for residents who want to review the hearing. The county indicated the meeting was streamed on its official channel and archived for later viewing.

The county’s public hearing page states that "Public Hearings are held on Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. (unless otherwise noted)" and that the regular meeting site is the "First Floor Public Hearing Room at the Adams County Government Center, 4430 S. Adams County Pkwy., Brighton." Meetings can also be viewed on the county’s YouTube Channel. The YouTube entry for the session is described as "The public hearing of the Board of County Commissioners for Adams County, CO." The video metadata or description lists timestamps including "0:00 Public Hearing Slate 14:00 Roll Call 15:46 Adams County," which can help residents navigate the recording.

For residents wanting to take part or follow up, the county web page lays out the written comment process: "Members of the Public may submit written comments on any matter within the Board’s subject matter jurisdiction through the agenda link below and the online comment system." The county specifies that "The comment link is available from the time the agenda is posted, until the Monday prior to public hearing." Users are instructed to "Click the conversation bubble in the 'Options' column to open the comment window." For procedural questions the county directs people to contact the Clerk to the Board: "For questions, contact Clerk to the Board, Erica Hannah."

The county also notes related meeting practices: "Adams County Study Sessions are held on Tuesdays following Public Hearing (unless otherwise noted). Study Session meetings are held in the Fifth Floor Study Session Room at the Adams County Government Center located at 4430 S. Adams County Parkway, Brighton." Those meetings often follow hearings where commissioners discuss policies and administrative items in greater detail.

The county describes the board’s responsibilities in governance and public accountability: "In addition to these statutory general governance responsibilities, the Adams County Board of Commissioners guides the operations of the county manager and the 12 departments and offices in the manager’s span of control. The board also holds public hearings at which official county business is conducted; considers applications for funding from community agencies, county departments and elected officials; represents the people of Adams County on other boards and governing bodies; and establishes personnel policies."

Materials on the county page include a descriptive image caption reading "A woman leads a discussion, with participants engaged and raising hands." One sentence in the circulated materials appears truncated: "The video is the county’s official re" and is incomplete.

For residents, the posted recording and the county’s comment system mean greater opportunity to review what commissioners discussed and to file written input within the published comment window. Next steps for local watchdogs and interested residents include viewing the archived video via the county’s YouTube Channel, consulting the meeting agenda for item specifics, and contacting Clerk to the Board Erica Hannah with procedural questions or to confirm whether captions, transcripts or formal minutes are available.
