SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING A PUBLIC PLACE FOR THE POSTING OF
NOTICE OF MEETINGS FOR THE PUEBLO CITY COUNCIL FOR THE YEAR
2015
SUMMARY:
This Resolution adopts 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.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On May 12, 2014, City Council passed and approved Resolution No. 12964 which designated
the two Public Places 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 and the
City of Pueblo Website for the posting of notice of all meetings of the City Council.
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 under the
supervision of the City Clerk. This location will remain until the Office of the City Clerk is moved
back into City Hall. The City’s Webpage was added as an additional designated public place for
the posting of notice of meetings on May 12, 2014.
