On the 5th, we had the "Rocky Stars" home schooled students toured the museum. There were 25 members in this tour. This group comprised of all grade level students that in the lower Arkansas River Valley. They did a reside scavenger hunt, watched Rocky Ford video's and rang school bells, while looking for their scavenger hunt items. On the 10th, Mr. Bill Holcombe, Bent's Fort employee and Interpreter, gave a discussion about the lives of William Bent's children at the Sand Creek Massacre site. He discussed the attitudes and perceptions of both the Anglo settlers and Native Americans. And the clash that was to follow between the two groups. Sadly, only 6 community members attended this informative event. On the 19th, the Arkansas Valley Classic Car Club toured the museum where 19 guests were welcomed. Many of the Car Club members have a love for history and the discussion was lively and informational. lengthy conversation soon followed with members of the club and museum personnel. car On the 23rd, "Little Nic's Lawn Care" business came to clean out our courtyard and sidewalks. Little Nic volunteered 3 hours on this task, where he removed leaves, trimmed bushes and edged the inner courtyard. Our outside courtyard looks very nice and shaped up for the summer months.

Rules of Speaking a) To be recognized, a Council member or staff member addresses the Mayor. The Mayor shall recognize Council members or staff. b) The Mayor recognizes by calling out the Council Member's name. Only one person may have the floor at a time. A person shall not speak while another has the floor except in the case where a Council member makes a "Point of Order. " A "Point of Order" relates to conduct that would not be considered appropriate conduct of the meeting; for example, if the Mayor moved on to a vote on a motion that permits debate without allowing discussion or debate or if comments that are being made are duplicative or not germane to the topic at hand. After a Council Member finishes speaking, the Mayor generally recognizes the next person who first asks for the floor after it has been relinquished. 8 C) When necessary, the Mayor may call a recess to reframe the tone and temperament of the meeting. d) Questions and/or comments are rotated. Each individual Council member is given the opportunity to ask questions or make comments before Council members are allowed to speak for a second time, except in circumstances when responding to a question from a fellow Council member. The Mayor may end the discussion or debate to vote on the policy questions before the Council. e) The Mayor may intervene in Council debate in order to determine whether the Council wishes to postpone the Council action if more information or staff work appears to be warranted to facilitate a Council decision. f) Any Council Member may appeal a ruling of the Mayor to the Council. If the appeal is seconded, the member making the appeal may briefly state their reason for same, and the Mayor may briefly explain their ruling, but there shall be no debate on the appeal. The Mayor shall then put the question, "Shall the decision of the Mayor be sustained?" If a majority of Council Members present vote "Yes," the ruling of the Mayor is sustained; otherwise, it is overruled. V. Procedure in Handling Motions (general/most common usage motions) a) Classes of Motions When an item is before the Council, the following types of motions shall govern. 1. Main: Basic motions introduce items of business before Council. A basic motion might be: "I move to approve Resolution Number.. 2. Motions to Amend: A main motion may be changed by moving to amend it. A motion to amend takes the main motion that is currently before the Council and seeks to change it in some way. A motion to amend might state: "I move to amend the motion approving Resolution Number to add a new condition of approval as follows.... 3. Motions to Withdraw: A motion to withdraw allows the maker of the motion to withdraw their motion prior to when the Mayor calls for the vote. b) Debate on Motions Motions are subject to discussion. Each of the foregoing classes of motions is subject to discussion and debate subject to the decision of the Mayor to move on and take action. Non-debatable motions are those motions that, when made, must be immediately called on by the Mayor for a vote by the Council without debate or discussion. Motions that are not debatable include: Motion to adjourn to the next regularly scheduled meeting; Motion to recess, with the Mayor determining the length of recess; Motion to fix the time to adjourn; 9 Motion to postpone an item; Motion to withdraw a motion; or Motion to limit debate. c) MBorlyandsupermaoryz Votes Voting ultimately decides all questions and items before Council. Most decisions and motions require a simple majority to pass. A simple majority means the majority of Council members present if a quorum exists (e.g., 3 out of 4, if only 4 members are present). Certain decisions require a super- majority to pass. Emergency ordinances require the concurrence of two-thirds of the City Council present; Motion to limit debate or to move the question requires the concurrence of two-thirds of the Council members present to pass; Motion to suspend these Rules of Order and Procedures requires the concurrence of two-thirds of the Council members present to pass. d) Tie Votes; Nol Right to Abstain In the case of a tie vote, the motion fails. Council Members may not abstain from voting. e) Conflict of Interest A Council Member may be recused if such member has a direct financial conflict of interest (as defined in-C.R.S. 24-18-109), in which case the member shall declare the conflict. If a Council Member believes they may have a conflict of interest, such member must confer with the City Attorney prior to the meeting, whenever possible. In the event of a declared financial conflict of interest, the Council Member must immediately leave the City Council chambers before there is any discussion or consideration of the item. f) Motions to Reconsider A motion to reconsider a decision previously passed upon may only be made at the same meeting or at the next regular Council meeting. The motion must be made by a Council Member who voted in the majority on the original motion. A member who voted in the minority cannot make a motion to reconsider. VI. Procedure in Handling Ordinances and Resolutions a) All ordinances require two readings with publication and public hearing required. First reading of an ordinance is typically placed on consent agenda. b) On the second reading of an ordinance, the Mayor reads the title of the item set forth 10 on the agenda and opens the public hearing, followed by a staff presentation. After the presentation, Council has an opportunity to ask questions of staff. Public hearings of ordinances involving applications before the City Council shall include an opportunity for an applicant to present evidence in support of their application, and rebuttal of any public comment. The Mayor will then open the public comment portion of the public hearing. After public comment is heard, the Mayor will close the public comment and the public hearing. The Mayor then requests an appropriate motion. Once seconded, the Mayor restates the question or may ask the Clerk to restate the motion, followed by a discussion by Council. The City Manager, City Attorney, and staff may respond to questions raised by Council, if any. After any discussion, the Mayor restates the question and requests a vote. After a vote is taken by the City Clerk, the City Clerk shall declare the ordinance adopted, defeated, or continued. If the public hearing is not continued, it is then closed. c) Resolution titles are read by the Mayor and followed by a staff presentation if requested. The Mayor will ask for a motion. Once seconded, the Mayor restates the question, followed by a discussion by Council. The City Manager, City Attorney, and staff may respond to questions raised by Council, if any. After any discussion, the Mayor restates the question and requests a vote. After a vote is taken by the City Clerk, the City Clerk shall declare the resolution adopted, defeated, or continued. VII. Voting Council may vote by means of a roll call voice vote or an electronic voting system. VIII. Parliamentary Procedure Except as otherwise provided herein, all matters of procedure are governed by Bob's Rules of Order. IX. Amendments These Rules of Order and Procedures may be amended by a majority vote of the Council Members present at a Council meeting at which a quorum exists. Any proposed amendments shall be submitted in writing to each member of Council at least ten (10) days in advance of the City Council meeting at which such amendments are to be considered. X. Variations in Procedures Minor deviations or variations to these Rules may occur organically during a Council meeting. Any such minor variation or deviation shall not constitute a violation of due process. 11 ) ROCKY COLORADO CITY COUNCIL AND BOARDS/COMMISSIONS PROTOCOLS Adopted January 14, 2025 I. Purpose and Intent Public servants have a responsibility to carry out their duties with integrity. In order to preserve the confidence and trust of the public, City Council, and staff, the Rocky Ford City Council has adopted these Protocols to provide uniform guidelines to direct the conduct of the City's Council and Planning and Zoning Commission as well as any future boards or commissions the City Council may create hereinafter referred to as Boards.

Council/Boards are composed of individuals with a wide variety of backgrounds, personalities, values, opinions, and goals. Despite this diversity, all have chosen to serve in public office in order to preserve and protect the present and the future of the community.

The City Council is responsible for making policy. The City staff is responsible fori implementing policy. III. Confidential Information Council members will be provided with information that is confidential within an executive session or through written communication. Disclosure of confidential information to individuals outside parties is a violation of the confidential attorney-client or other legal privilege. The privilege is held by the City Council as a whole. Only the City Council acting at an open meeting can waive this privilege. It is a breach of these protocols and a violation of public duty for any individual Council or Board member to provide confidential information to an outside third party. This protocol shall not be construed as prohibiting the City Manager and City Attorney from distributing confidential information to other City management staff to the extent reasonably necessary to implement Council direction or fulfill their responsibilities to the organization. Any other person receiving such information is also subject to the privilege and may not waive the privilege. IV. Making Public Statements Including Via Social Media a. Council/Board members who engage in personal use of social media separate from the City's social media may not use the trademark, logo, or name of the City or that of any City department or program.

Difficult questions, tough challenges to a particular point of view, and criticism of ideas and information are legitimate elements of a free democracy in action. V. Council/Boards and City Employee Communications a. Council/Board members will receive information that is substantive and relevant to the Council/Board's policymaking authority. b. Email communications by and among Council/Board members are subject to the Colorado Open Meetings and Open Records laws, and therefore, may be subject to disclosure.

If a Counci/Board Member disagrees with the City Manager's response to the request, the Council/Board Member should present the issue to the entire Council/Board. h. Counci/Boards should initiate legal questions through the City Attorney's office and inform the City Manager of the inquiry. i. Any Council/Board member's request for additional information that would take a significant amount of staff time/resources (i.e.., over 30-minutes of staff time) or should one Council/Board member's cumulative number of requests have negative impact to staff resources or their ability to do the work of the City, shall be referred back to the Council/Board to receive a majority opinion that it merits an investment of City resources. j. Critical or negative comments about specific staff shall only be made to the City Manager outside of any public meeting to maintain a professional and respectful environment. VI. Council Conduct with Boards a. The City Council may establish various Boards and Commissions as a means of gathering community input and recommendations to Council. Council members shall refrain from having any ex-parte communications with Boards concerning issues and/or applications before any quasi-judicial body. b.

VII. Council Meetings with Boards and Commissions a. Council may meet with the Counci-appointed Boards on an as-needed basis. b. The Mayor may appoint a Council liaison to any Board as deemed appropriate.
