Executive Committee discusses hiring timeline for new legislative safety administrator

President summarized a draft job description for an "administrator for legislative safety," a position created to receive, review and triage threats to legislators and to coordinate with Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and other agencies. The position, established by recent legislation, would serve as a dedicated liaison for member safety and assist in criminal and civil investigations that cross jurisdictions.

Members discussed timing for posting and recruiting the position and noted the requirement to comply with open‑meeting and public‑hearing rules for aspects of the hiring process. Some members said it would be desirable to have someone in place by the legislative session if possible; staff cautioned that recruiting and public‑hearing steps could make an October start unrealistic and additional time might be needed. The president offered to make the detailed job description available to committee members for review.
