The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) convened on June 10, 2025, at 9:01 AM for their regular meeting. The session began with the Pledge of Allegiance, led by a member of the board, followed by attendance checks and a reminder for attendees to maintain decorum throughout the meeting.

The board approved minutes from previous meetings held on January 20, January 23, January 28, and January 30, 2025, with a unanimous vote. The agenda for the day was also approved without modifications.

A significant highlight of the meeting was the proclamation designating June 15, 2025, as Elder Abuse Awareness Day in Pueblo County. Commissioner McPheeers emphasized the importance of protecting seniors, who are vital members of the community. The proclamation underscored the collective responsibility to ensure that elderly residents live safely and with dignity, addressing the growing issue of elder mistreatment across socioeconomic boundaries.

Karina Carsuleo from Adult Protective Services spoke in support of the proclamation, announcing an awareness event scheduled for June 15 in partnership with the Senior Resource Development Agency (SRDA). She encouraged community members to attend the event to learn about resources available for seniors and to raise awareness about elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Following the proclamation, the meeting moved to the consent agenda, which included a single item: the allocation of federal forest payments to local school districts. This allocation aims to support educational funding in the area.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue addressing the needs of the community, particularly in safeguarding vulnerable populations such as the elderly. Further discussions and actions are expected in upcoming meetings as the board remains focused on community welfare and resource allocation.
