Board of Trustees - May 28, 1991 - Page 4 5. Colorado Open Meetings Act - Report/Town Attorney White. Town Attorney White read his May 8, 1991 memo to the Town Administrator regarding the Open Meetings Law, as follows: 1. Regular and Special Town Board Meetings. All meetings of the Town Board must be proceeded by a notice stating time and place of the meeting, as well as an agenda, if possible, posted in a public place at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. 2. Executive Sessions. An executive session can only be held during a regular or special meeting of the Board, i.e. there must be a vote of two-thirds of a quorum present at the meeting. The executive session must be called for only specific items and no formal action may occur at any executive session. 3. Committee Meetings. Committee meetings are subject to the same requirements as those of Town Board meetings; however, it is counsel's opinion that unanimous consent of all committee members must be obtained to go into executive session. 4. Other Meetings. A meeting of a public body is defined as any meeting where three or more members of the Board are present at which any public business is discussed. 5. Joint Meetings. Meetings of the Town Board with other public bodies would also be subject to the open meetings requirement. 6. Other Boards. The Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, Estes Park Building Authority, Fire Pension Board, Police Pension Board and Estes Park Rooftop Rodeo Committee are all subject to the provisions of the Open Meetings Act. The requirements as to notice, minutes and executive session apply to those particular bodies. Town Attorney White also stated that, in reviewing the Open Meetings Act, it is his opinion this Act will not have a significant impact upon the way the Town has been conducting its business, but cautioned the Town should be very diligent in abiding by all of the terms and conditions of the Act. Assistant Town Administrator Widmer stated the media should plan to check the bulletin board on the wall outside the Administration Offices for notice of special meetings. There being no further business to come before the Board, Mayor Dannels requested comments from the audience. Lou Canaiy/Estes Park inquired regarding the Town of Estes Park's indebtedness. Hearing no further comment, Mayor Dannels adjourned the meeting at 9:00 P.M. Mayor .. Deputy Town Clerk
