NACoCONFERENCEREPORT
Human Services Director Deb Sjostrom provided an update from the 2022 National Association of Counties
(NACo) Conference which she attended in July of 2022. This conference was held in Denver, Colorado with
participants from counties across the country gathering to work on federal policy, share proven practices, and
strengthen networks. Those attending participated in site visits to local community and resource centers and
to the Adams County Human Services Center, participated in general sessions and policy work, and
networked with national counterparts. Sjostrom highlighted some key take-aways from the conference:
relationship building and learning from counterparts at a national level, content knowledge development,
exposure to national models and county best practice examples, national advocacy on Federal issues with
county impact and professional development all focused on helping improve residents' lives and the efficiency
of county government.

Board of Commissioners' Meeting Minutes
August 23, 2022
2. Findings for the Tax Abatement. The Board hereby makes the following findings:
(a) The tax abatement is the County's share of real estate taxes which relate to the Projects being
constructed on the Tax Abatement Properties and not the real estate taxes that relate to the value of
the land (the "Abatement").
(b) The Board expects the benefits to the County of the Abatement to be at least equal or exceed the
costs to the County thereof.

agreements, does not exceed the greater of ten percent (10%) of the net tax capacity of the County
for the taxes payable year to which the abatement applies or $200,000, whichever is greater. The
County may grant other abatements permitted under the Abatement Law after the date of this
resolution, provided that to the extent the total abatements in any year exceed the Abatement Limit

by this resolution.
3. Terms of Abatement. The Abatement is hereby approved. The terms of the Abatement are as follows:
(a) The Abatement shall be for up to five (5) years anticipated to commence for taxes payable 2024 and

seconded by Commissioner Mortenson and, after discussion thereof and upon vote being taken thereon,
