Under current provisions of the Open Meetings Law, if elected officials use electronic mail to discuss pending legislation or other public business among themselves, the electronic mail constitutes a meeting that is subject to the OML's requirements. OML requirements include full and timely notice to the public, which requires information about the meeting be posted in a designated public place no less than twenty-four hours prior to the holding of the meeting.

Colorado is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis, and our workforce can no longer afford to live in the communities where they are employed. Colorado has a growing number of cost-burdened households in both urban and rural areas. In a recent survey conducted by CML, our members described the supply of housing as “insufficient,” “unattainable,” or “in disrepair,” while they described the need as “critical,” “significant,” and “desperate.” Your “Yes” vote is respectfully requested.
