Summary

The board approved action item 8.1 to remove a statutory maximum fee reference from district policy and keep the Colorado Open Records Act rate in regulation so future statutory updates can be processed in one reading.

Tim O’Neil, the district’s general counsel, presented action item 8.1 on Aug. 27, recommending the board remove the statutory maximum fee language for Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) requests from district policy and instead leave the rate in an administrative regulation.

O’Neil said the change would allow the district to conform more quickly to statutory updates: "remove it from the policy so that when we get statutory updates, we can bring the regulation to the Board and have it changed in 1 reading rather than having it changed in 2 readings for the policy," he explained.

A motion to approve action item 8.1 was made and seconded; roll-call votes were recorded as affirmative from the members present and the board approved the recommendation. The transcript indicates the board adopted the recommended housekeeping change to keep statutory CORA fee language in regulation rather than in the board policy.

The board proceeded to recognize the newly appointed chief of staff after the vote.
