RE: Public Access for Boards and Commissions Meeting
This memo provides a follow-up to the July 6, 2021, City Council meeting. Mayor Arndt
requested information about how Boards and Commission agendas and meeting times are made
available to the public.
All boards and commission meetings are listed on a central website for all Boards and
Commissions (https://www.fcgov.com/cityclerk/boards.php) in addition to being listed on the
City’s online events calendar (http://fcgov.com/events). Each meeting shown on the calendar
contains a link which produces a pop-up box that includes all the information related to a specific
meeting including date, time, location, contact information, and link to agenda once it has been
published. Meetings being held remotely or in a hybrid format also contain a link to zoom
meeting information if there are remote options.
Regarding the most recent agenda for the Energy Board, which was the board referenced in the
public comment, the agenda was provided to the public via the City of Fort Collins webpage in
advance of the 24-hour posting deadline. The agenda posted follows the standard agenda
template provided by the City Clerk’s Office and posting requirements in the Boards and
Commission Manual.
It is true that many of the Boards and Commission agendas do not include detailed information
regarding topics up for discussion, many only list the main title of the topic.
Staff can conduct further follow-up and provide City Council agenda process alternatives for
review if requested.
