Council asks staff to prepare draft support for Save Our Skies citizens' letter
Summary
Council directed staff to prepare a succinct letter indicating the city’s support for a citizens' Save Our Skies letter to county commissioners and to place that draft on the next meeting agenda for discussion.
At the Westminster City Council study session on March 24, several councilors moved to have staff prepare a short, clear letter stating the council’s support for a citizens' Save Our Skies letter and to agendize that draft for discussion at the next council meeting.
The item arose during council reports after Councilor Carmelica and others described constituent interest in a letter concerning community concerns (referred to in the transcript as the Save Our Skies letter). One councilor asked whether the body wanted staff to draft a letter of support so that the council could consider signing on; another councilor emphasized keeping the letter “simple” and phrasing it as support for citizens’ input rather than directing another elected body on policy.
Council members indicated no objections to preparing and placing a short draft letter on the agenda; staff (including the city manager’s office and city attorney review) was asked to prepare the text and return it for council discussion. No formal vote was recorded; councilors asked that attorney review be included before posting the item to avoid confusion about scope and wording.
