Admitting its failure to comply with the state’s Opening Meetings Law, the Pitkin County government settled a lawsuit where its commissioners were accused of doing public business in private. The agreement was reached in December. It came after Pagosa Springs attorney Matt Roane filed a court complaint in late October saying the county failed to broadcast the Board of County Commissioners adopting a motion Oct. 20. That day, commissioners held a public work session that started at 1 p.m. and was streamed on the county’s website and Grassroots TV. Ahead of the work session, the BOCC had been in an executive session closed to the public. Going into the executive session, however, required a motion and vote from the BOCC. That process is open to the public, but it wasn’t at the October meeting because the county did not broadcast it.
