Phillips County Commissioner meetings, at which the adoption of any proposed policy, position, resolution, rule, regulation, or formal action occurs, shall be held only after full and timely notice to the public. The Bulletin Board outside of the Phillips County Commissioner’s meeting room is the official posting location for all Commissioner and Planning Commission agendas, hearings, and public notices. Work-sessions and meetings scheduled by the Board of County Commissioners are subject to change and are posted 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

The Phillips County Commissioners hold three regular meetings a month. One is scheduled near the 10th of each month, depending on other meetings or Commissioner obligations. The second monthly meeting is scheduled near the 20th of each month, and the third monthly meeting is generally the last working day of the month. The Commissioners may schedule special meetings.

Regular Commissioner meetings start at 8:00 a.m. and continue through the day until all business has been addressed. Regular meetings and special meeting agendas will be posted 24 hours in advance of the meeting time as required by CRS 24-6-402. Individuals can reserve a time to speak at the Commissioners meetings. To schedule a time on the agenda, interested citizens should contact the Administration office at least two (2) days prior to the scheduled meeting date by calling 970-854-3778.

Executive Sessions will be closed to the public as outlined in the Colorado Revised Statutes 24-6-402.
