The document is an appendix specific to El Paso County, Colorado, that provides adaptations and modifications to the Open Meetings Act. The purpose of these adaptations is to ensure that the appendix is tailored to the county and that the meaning of the original statute is not changed. The document includes definitions of terms such as "local public body" and "meeting," and states that all meetings of a quorum or three or more members of any local public body are declared to be public meetings open to the public at all times. It also emphasizes the importance of providing full and timely notice to the public for meetings where the adoption of proposed policies or formal actions occur. The document further highlights the requirement to take and promptly record minutes of meetings, including executive sessions, and make them open to public inspection. It mentions that electronic mail communication among elected officials related to pending legislation or public business is subject to the requirements of the Open Meetings Act. The document also addresses the recording and retention of discussions in executive sessions, with exceptions for privileged attorney-client communications. It clarifies that the Open Meetings Act does not apply to chance meetings or social gatherings where discussion of public business is not the central purpose. Additionally, the document mentions the establishment of job search goals and procedures for appointing or employing a chief executive officer of an agency, authority, institution, or other entity at an open meeting, including the public disclosure of all finalists under consideration, with the term "finalist" having the same meaning as in section (3.5) of the document.
