SECWCD <br />May 20, 2004 <br />11 <br />RECORD OF PROCEEDING <br />On several occasions last year Mr. Miller discussed with the Board a Colorado Court of Appeals <br />decision that substantially expanded the notice requirements the District must comply with under <br />the Colorado Open Meetings Act. Recently, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled on the appeal of <br />that case, Bocrrd of County Commissioners, Cos"11a County x Costilla County Conservancy <br />District. The Board was provided a memo from Affix Joseph discussing this decision. In <br />summary, the Court determined that only those meetings pertaining to the public policy functions <br />of the local public body must comply with the Open Meetings Act. While the Court did not give <br />comprehensive guidance as to what the "public policy function" encompasses, when the local <br />public body does not call the meeting and the issue discussed at. the meeting does not have an <br />associated action pending before the body, Costilla indicates that no notice of the meeting need <br />be provided. <br />president Everett asked if there were any other matters to come before the meeting, and hearing <br />none, adjourned the meeting at 3:12 p.m. <br />Toni Gonzales <br />Administrative Assistant - — <br />Secretary <br />
