CITY OF WHEAT RIDGE, COLORADO
City Council Chambers 7500 W. 29th Avenue
August 28, 2017
Upon adjournment of the Regular City Council Meeting
Mayor Joyce Jay called the Special Study Session to order at 8:32 p.m.
Council members present: George Pond, Janeece Hoppe, Kristi Davis, Monica Duran,
Tim Fitzgerald, Zachary Urban, Genevieve Wooden, and Larry Mathews
Members absent: Kristi Davis (excused), Genevieve Wooden (excused)
Also present: City Clerk, Janelle Shaver; City Attorney, Jerry Dahl; City Manager, Patrick
Goff; Administrative Services Director, Heather Geyer; and interested citizens.
Councilmember Urban raised a point of order suggesting posting requirements may not
have been met for this Special Study Session. Discussion followed. Mr. Dahl advised. It
was determined the meeting notice was posted on the website, but not in the City Hall
Lobby. As such, it is an improperly called meeting.
Mayor Jay entertained suspension of the rules. Councilmember Urban offered that
suspension of the rules couldn't apply since the meeting wasn't properly noticed and
therefore does not exist. Mr. Dahl advised that the Council Rules do not address this
particular scenario, but do allow for suspension of the rules at a study session. Further
discussion followed.
Councilmember Fitzgerald asked for consensus to temporarily suspend the Council rules
with respect to posting for the notice of this study session. The consensus failed 4-2. A
% majority of member present is required to suspend the rules.
The assembly dismissed at 8:43pm.
