POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support designating public meeting posting locations on the city website and at the Littleton Center, Bemis Library and the Littleton Municipal Courthouse; and identifying the Littleton Independent as the newspaper where notices are printed for 2018?
BACKGROUND:
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 city council's first meeting of each calendar year."

"For the purposes of the charter and the municipal code, except where publication in a newspaper is specifically required by the charter, an ordinance or 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.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The city clerk's office recommends city council designate the following posting locations for 2018: City of Littleton website, www.littletongov.org; the bulletin boards at the main entrances of the Littleton Center, 2255 W.

Littleton Blvd. Staff recommends that when publication in a newspaper is specifically required, it be in the Littleton Independent.
