Colorado Springs residents will be asked during the April election to lift a 30-word limit on ballot questions focused on tax increases and bonded debt, a request that evolved out

A handful of Glenwood Springs residents asking the city to erect a security fence near their property will likely have to look elsewhere for help.
Glenwood Springs City Council on Thursday denied a proposal asking that two private fence replacements be included in existing public projects, at partial or total cost to the city.
First, two Hagar Lane residents asked the city to consider building a 300-foot-long fence on the east side of a planned sidewalk near their subdivision off of Midland Avenue. Pedestrians regularly cross through their yards for access to the Atkinson Trail and Roaring Fork River, they said, causing security concerns.
Local governing bodies collectively spent 60 hours behind closed doors in 2020 discussing matters concerning the public.
An annual review of executive sessions conducted by Aspen City Council, Snowmass Village Town Council and the Board of Pitkin County Commissioners shows that combined, they held 36 closed-door meetings last year.
The commissioners held the most meetings, with 20, followed by Aspen City Council Town Council with six.
For commissioners and Aspen elected officials, they held fewer executive sessions in 2020 than in previous years.
County Attorney John Ely said typically the commissioners meet out of the public’s view at least 24 times, or twice a month, in a year.
