SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING A PUBLIC PLACE FOR THE POSTING OF
NOTICE OF MEETINGS FOR THE PUEBLO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR
2014 AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. 12867
SUMMARY:
Should City Council adopt a Resolution designating public places for the posting of notices of all
meetings of the City Council at which the adoption of a proposed policy, position, resolution,
rule, regulation or formal action occurs, or at which a majority or quorum of the body is in
attendance, or is expected to be in attendance, and rescind Resolution No. 12867?
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On January 14, 2014, City Council passed and approved Resolution No. 12867, which
designated the Public Place for the Posting of Notices of Meetings as the lobby of the Pueblo
Municipal Justice Center (Municipal Court Side), 200 S. Main Street, Pueblo, Colorado.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to 24-6-402(2)(c) C.R.S., any meetings at which the adoption of a proposed policy,
position, resolution, rule, regulation or formal action occurs, or at which a majority or quorum of
the body is in attendance, or is expected to be in attendance, shall be held only after full and
timely notice is given to the public. The public place for posting such notice shall be designated
annually at the local public body’s first regular meeting of each calendar year.
Traditionally, City Hall has been the designated public place for the posting of notice of
meetings, specifically the bulletin board on the first floor; however, during the renovation of City
Hall the designated public place within the boundaries of the City of Pueblo for posting of notice
of all meetings has been the official bulletin board located in the lobby of the Pueblo Municipal
Justice Center (Municipal Court Side), 200 S. Main Street, Pueblo, Colorado. This location will
remain until the Office of the City Clerk is moved back into City Hall.
It is the desire of the City Council to add the City of Pueblo’s Web Page as an additional
designated public place for the posting of notice of meetings.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not Applicable
ALTERNATIVES:
Continue with the one location as the official bulletin board for posting of meetings.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
