 The City Council of the City of Grand Junction is a "local public body" as defined in C.R.S. §24-6-402 (1)(a).

 

 The City Council holds meetings to discuss public business.

 

 The C.R.S. §24-6-402 (2)(c) provides that "Any meetings at which the adoption of any 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 to the public. In addition to any other means of full and timely notice, a local public body shall be deemed to have given full and timely notice if the notice of the meeting is posted in a designated public place within the boundaries of the local public body no less than 24 hours prior to the holding of the meeting. The public place or places for posting of such notice shall be designated annually at the local public body's first regular meeting of each calendar year".

 

 The Grand Junction Code of Ordinances, Section 2-26, provides that the meeting schedule and the procedure for calling of special meetings of the City Council shall be established by resolution annually.

 

 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GRAND JUNCTI­ON, COLORADO THAT:

 

1. The Notice of Meetings for the local public body shall be posted on the glassed-in exterior notice board at 250 N. 5th Street, City Hall.

 

2. The meeting schedule for the regular meetings of the City Council is the first and third Wednesday of each month, at the hour of 7:30 p.m. However, the regularly scheduled meeting of March 19, 2003 is hereby canceled.

 

3. A special meeting is hereby scheduled for Wednesday, April 9, 2003 at 7:30 p.m. for the canvass of election results. The City Charter, Section 25 provides that “the council shall meet as a canvassing board and duly canvass the election returns within two days after any municipal election.” The next regularly scheduled meeting after the April 8th election is April 16th which would not meet Charter requirements.

4. Additional special meetings may be called by the President of the City Council for any purpose and notification of such meeting shall be posted twenty-four hours prior to the meeting. Each and every member of City Council shall be notified of any special meeting at least twenty-four hours in advance.

 

 

 Read and approved this 15th day of January, 2003.
