Rio Blanco County commissioners move work sessions to mornings, set May 5 term‑limits hearing

The Rio Blanco County Board of County Commissioners agreed to change its regular schedule, moving work sessions to 9:00 a.m. and starting the public BOCC meeting at 1:00 p.m., and put a term‑limits hearing on the May 5 agenda.

Commissioners discussed the shift during commissioner updates, with one member saying the morning work sessions will allow the board to “make decisions in the afternoons” and that the revised timetable should make meetings run more smoothly. The next commissioner meeting was announced for May 5, beginning at 9:00 a.m., and the term‑limits discussion was listed as an item on that agenda.

The change was presented as a procedural scheduling decision; no formal vote on county policy was recorded in the transcript beyond the motion and second to adjourn the meeting that followed. The clerk recorded the time and roll call during adjournment. The meeting moved from executive session into open session earlier in the agenda and proceeded to these updates before adjournment at about 11:48 a.m.

The transcript indicates the board will follow the new schedule going forward; details about how the change will be published to the public (for example, updated calendar notices or revised meeting packets) were not specified.
