The Colorado Open Meetings Law, C.R.S. § 24-6-401, et seq., requires that the location for the posting of meeting notices “shall be designated annually at the local body’s first meeting of each calendar year.”
Except where publication in a newspaper is specifically required by state statute, the terms “publication,” “publish” or “published” shall mean a minimum of two (2) of the following three (3) methods: a) posting on the city’s website; b) physical posting at the Littleton Center, Bemis Public Library and the Littleton Municipal Courthouse; or c) publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city." The Littleton Independent is a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Littleton.

The city clerk’s office recommends LIFT designate the following posting locations for 2017: City of Littleton website, www.littletongov.org <http://www.littletongov.org>; the bulletin boards at the main entrances of the Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave.; Bemis Library, 6014 S. Datura St.; and the Littleton Municipal Courthouse, 2069 W. Littleton Blvd. Staff recommends that when publication in a newspaper is specifically required, it be in the Littleton Independent.
