These are the individuals who maintain our roads, serve children and families, keep our community safe, care for stray animals, and so much more.
At the 2026 Years of Service Recognition Luncheon, the Mesa County Board of Commissioners and County Administrator Todd Hollenbeck honored dozens of employees for their dedication to their community, some making lifelong careers out of their jobs at Mesa County.

To every employee who was recognized, thank you. Your service makes a difference every day, and we can see your work out in our community everywhere we look.
