Montrose BOCC pares down shared-calendar review to brief highlights
Summary
Commissioners agreed to stop walking through the full shared calendar at every meeting and instead will briefly note out-of-the-ordinary events (like a veterans memorial groundbreaking) and changes to office coverage; staff will manage edits centrally.
Commissioners discussed whether the recurring shared-calendar review adds value when the public meeting calendar is posted online. A commissioner suggested the review is redundant and recommended keeping the calendar item to a quick "glance" only for items that are out of the ordinary, such as special events or people being out of the office.
Staff said view permissions are broadly available while edit permissions were limited to a small group (the calendar manager plus Clara and Evelyn) to reduce inadvertent additions. Commissioners asked staff to continue flagging notable events and to keep the calendar item on the agenda for brief reminders rather than line-by-line review.
Why it matters: the change reduces routine meeting time spent repeating publicly posted information while preserving a mechanism to alert commissioners to atypical events such as the veterans memorial groundbreaking.
What happens next: staff will maintain the calendar and route edit requests through the assigned manager; the BOCC will reserve the agenda item for brief highlights.
