 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 2.04.010, provides that the meeting schedule and the procedure for calling of special meetings of the City Council shall be established by resolution annually.
