Public access to Town of Breckenridge work sessions could be enhanced as town council recently gave the nod to recording the informal discussions where council members hash out ideas, review financial data and make suggestions to staff.
“I'm just really pleased,” Councilman Dave Rossi said. “It's a big win for the community — because a lot of people just want to know that we're accountable. They want to know how decisions get made.”
The town's official meetings that occur in the evening are always recorded on digital audio, and the public can come in and listen to the recordings or purchase copies on compact disc for $15, according to town clerk MJ Loufek.
While the full council on Tuesday was in favor of recording the work sessions, town spokeswoman Kim DiLallo said Friday that “nothing has been finalized.”
The matter is expected to be back before council in the coming weeks. The work sessions usually begin at 3 p.m. on the day of the official meeting, but attendance is often slim.
