RESOLUTION NO. 01
Series of 2020
TITLE: A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A DESIGNATED PUBLIC
PLACE FOR THE POSTING OF MEETING NOTICES AS
REQUIRED BY THE COLORADO OPEN MEETINGS LAW
WHEREAS, the Housing Authority of the City of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, deems it in
the public interest to provide full and timely notice of all of its meetings; and
WHEREAS, the Colorado state legislature amended the Colorado Open Meetings Laws,
Section 24-6-401, et seq., C.R.S. to require all "local public bodies" subject to the requirements
of the law to annually designate at the local public body's first regular meeting of each calendar
year, the place for posting notices of public hearings no less than twenty-four hours prior to the
holding of the meeting; and
WHEREAS, "local public body" is defined by Section 24-6-402(1)(a) to include "any
board, committee, commission, authority, or other advisory, policy-making, rule-making, or
formally constituted body of any political subdivision of the state and any public or private entity
to which a political subdivision, or an official thereof, has delegated a governmental decision-
making function but does not include persons on the administrative staff of the local public
body".
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Wheat Ridge Housing Authority
as follows:
Section 1. The lobby of the Municipal Building and the City's website shall constitute the
designated public place for the posting of meeting notices as required by the Colorado Open
Meetings Law. When the Municipal Building is closed to the public—as has been the case
during the COVID-19 pandemic—the exterior posting board on the west side of the Municipal
Building entry shall be the designated public place for the posting of meeting notice in lieu of the
lobby.
Section 2. The Community Development Director or his designee shall be responsible for
posting the required notices no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the holding of the
meeting.
Section 3. All meeting notices shall include specific agenda information, where possible.
