The Douglas County Board of Commissioners believes in an open and transparent government. Douglas County conducts business in compliance with Colorado’s Open Meetings Law, is open to public review, and welcomes diverse public discussion. When a majority of the Board of County Commissioners meet to conduct public business, the meeting is posted and open to the public.
The Board has several meeting formats:
Work Sessions: During Work Sessions, the Board often invites testimony from internal and external subject matter experts to discuss programs or initiatives. Work Sessions are scheduled a week in advice and may occur on any weekday.
Business Meetings: Business Meetings are scheduled for the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 1:30 p.m. During Business Meetings, the Board considers and takes formal action on resolutions, ordinances, and other public business. During the meeting, the Board will take public testimony specific to the agenda item being considered. During that time, the public is invited to provide their perspective on that specific agenda item. Comments will be limited to 3 minutes. After the Regular Agenda, as time allows, the Board will also take general public comment on any topic not already discussed during the meeting. Obscenity and any comments calling for criminal or violent action are prohibited. Commissioner comments, if any, will follow all citizen comments.
Land Use Public Hearings: These meetings are specifically for land use presentations by applicants and formal action by the Board. Applicants make presentations to the Board. Public testimony is accepted on each agenda item. Citizen testimony is limited to the specific topic or application being discussed. and provides the Board with community perspective on the issue.
The Board also schedules evening Live Town Halls to provide information on a specific topic and hear from the public. Learn more and sign up to be notified.
Members of the Board of County Commissioners may meet by chance, attend the same social events, discuss matters unrelated to public business, and provide day-to-day oversight and supervision to county employees. These are not meetings open to the public.
