A RESOLUTION ADOPTING A CITY COUNCIL POLICY TO GOVERN ELECTRONIC MEETING PROCEDURES AS COUNCIL POLICY #CP-26

 

Body

Summary and Background InformationDuring the COVID-19 emergency, the City Council learned that conducting meetings with electronic participation provides an effective and efficient mechanism to conduct public business including taking formal action consistent with the Charter and the Open Meetings Law, C.R.S. §§ 24-6-401, et seq. The City Council Policy and Governance Committee discussed adopting a policy that sets forth procedures for conducting electronic meetings. The attached policy was presented to City Council at the February 13, 2023 Study Session. The policy governs all public bodies of the City and guidelines for conducting public meetings through electronic means in a manner that retains public access and so long as such electronic participation is available. This policy should be interpreted in conjunction with Council Policies #20 and #22.
