Pueblo County BOCC approves agenda, sets public‑comment rules; staff asked to restart Facebook live feed

The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners convened a special meeting at 9 a.m., approved the day’s agenda by voice vote and opened public comment with a three‑minute limit and a call for decorum.

The meeting opened with the Pledge of Allegiance, then roll call in which the facilitator named Cynthia Mitchell, county attorney; Paula McPheeers; Zach Swearingen; Miles Lucero; and Vina Genesio, county manager, as present. The facilitator asked whether there were any modifications to the agenda; after none were offered, a motion was moved and seconded to approve the agenda. “All in favor, say aye,” the facilitator said, and members responded, leading the facilitator to state the motion passed and that the meeting order had been changed.

Before public comment began, the facilitator reminded speakers that comments should be kept to three minutes and that decorum must be maintained: “I’ll try and let you finish your thought, but please don’t take advantage of that... we’ve got a busy schedule today.” The facilitator warned that they would call a recess if decorum was not kept.

Shortly after the public‑comment announcement, a participant reported the county’s Facebook live stream was not functioning and asked that the public information officer be allowed to attempt a restart. The facilitator and others discussed whether parts of the meeting might need to be repeated if the feed were restored.

The meeting proceeded after the agenda was approved; further items and any public‑comment speakers were not included in the provided transcript excerpt.
