City Attorney Outlines Role, Home Rule Authority, and Open Records Act Compliance
City Attorney Chris Dowsey provided an overview of his office's role, responsibilities, and the ethical considerations involved in municipal law. He detailed the function of the city attorney as legal counsel to the city of Montrose as an entity, not individual council members or staff. Dowsey also explained the city's home rule status, contrasting it with statutory municipalities, and discussed the increasing state preemption of local authority. A significant portion of his presentation focused on the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), including the scope of public records, the process for handling requests, associated costs, and various exemptions. He also shared his personal viewpoint on why the city should remain non-partisan.
