a. Resolution Proclaiming May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month.  
Laura Ciancone, Douglas County Mental Health Division Manager — County Administration  
The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners has adopted resolutions recognizing the  
month of May as Mental Health Awareness Month since 2017.  
Mental Health Awareness Month was established by Mental Health America in 1949 to elevate  
mental health, raise awareness, educate the public about mental health conditions and reduce the  
stigma associated with mental health conditions that impact as many as one in five U.S. adults and  
one in six U.S. children and adolescents annually.  
Resolutions proclaiming May as Mental Health Awareness Month often include statistics on the  
prevalence of mental and behavioral health conditions in the United States and in the localities  
where resolutions are read, emphasize the centrality of mental health to everyone’s overall health,  
celebrate recovery, and may also draw attention to suicide and organizational strategies that address  
mental and behavioral health. The resolution before the Board of County Commissioners on April  
22, 2025 reflects all of the above, including the investments of the Board in mental health  
programming.  
Public recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month is a reminder that everyone has mental  
health, and the potential for poor mental health, regardless of income, zip code, race, gender,  
politics, or religious affiliation. It is also a recognition of hope and help in hard times, and an  
affirmation of commitment to fostering the conditions for all people to be well.

through September 14, 2030 in the Amount of $1,103,589.17 (61 Remaining Months).  
Taylor Davis, Division Chief Support Services — Sheriff  
On August 10, 2022, the Douglas County Board of County Commissioners approved the  
Fifth Amendment to the Master Services and Purchasing Agreement with Taser  
International, Inc (now Axon Enterprises, Inc.) which included a great number of technology  
enhancements, extended the original agreement and guaranteed pricing through September  
14, 2030. With additional FTEs and approval to add licensing for the Axon Fleet Respond  
for real time location, alerts and livestream capabilities, a Seventh Amendment is now  
needed to provide all recently-approved commissioned officers with Officer Safety Plans  
(OSP10), add fleet camera systems to the new vehicles associated with the Patrol staff  
additions and other vehicles that have been reassigned to functions requiring such systems  
and the Axon Fleet Respond licensing for the entire LEA fleet.  
This Seventh Amendment will be coterminous with the Sixth Amendment and also provides  
guaranteed pricing through the end of the eight-year contract period as outlined in the  
attached analysis and equates to $1,103,589.17. This increases the Maximum Contract  
Liability for the total contract period to $12,829,667 (subject to annual appropriation).  
To accommodate the $220,717.85 payment for Amendment 7, additional funding of $11,000  
is being requested from contingency for 2025. For funding going forward, the $11,000 will  
be requested as a 2026 base budget adjustment as AXON spread the additional costs in Years  
4 - 8 of the current contract period.

Zach Burns, Fairgrounds Manager, FFESS — Facilities, Fleet & Emergency Support Services  
and Hallmark  
Fairgrounds staff has evaluated options for creating an additional space to accommodate Fair  
& Rodeo guests with an elevated experience. After considering alternatives, it has been  
determined that adding a standalone, covered deck on the northwest side of the Arena would  
be the best solution. This initiative intends to increase capacity (+40-50 guests) for our  
sold-out rodeos with a space designed to deliver an upgraded experience currently  
unavailable at our event. Even above the added capacity and upgraded experience offering  
for the Fairgrounds staff and Fair Board, this experience in the premium seating space will be  
pivotal in our ability to understand the needs in this area as we design a new Outdoor Arena.  
Following a competitive process (IFB #008-25), TCC has been awarded the Contract. The  
2025 Construction Contract and purchase order cover all necessary services and total  
$130,000.00.

community-based organizations, and make MHFA available to County staff, for an  
additional year.
