WHAT IS THIS?

Requires all executive sessions to be recorded with automatic public release after 90 days unless extended by court order. Ensures transparency in closed-door meetings while protecting legitimate legal discussions when necessary.

WHY IT MATTERS

The Board held an illegal executive session about citizen initiatives in June 2025, violating Colorado Open Meetings Law. Secret meetings destroy public trust and enable corruption. Recording and releasing these sessions ensures legal compliance and prevents backroom deals that harm residents.

PROPOSED ACTIONS

• Record all executive sessions with audio and video
• Store recordings securely with tamper-proof timestamps
• Automatically release recordings after 90 days
• Allow court-ordered extensions only for active litigation
• Require detailed agendas before entering executive session
• Post public notice of topics discussed after each session
