FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The city of Fort Collins is considering several changes to the process of public comment during city council meetings. The proposals were drafted by Fort Collins city staff after a meeting on March 5, 2024, was cut short after several protesters shouted for a ceasefire in Gaza and three glued their hands to a wall in the chamber.
The second was to allow the mayor or a majority of the council to relocate meetings or move them online if an in-person meeting is or could be disrupted. The third and most controversial of the proposals was to authorize the council to allow only comments related to items scheduled on the meeting’s agenda in the future if it chose to.
During Monday’s special meeting for the proposals, more than 90 people signed up for public comment. The vast majority were strongly opposed to the proposed changes, arguing they were an affront on freedom of speech and undermining of the values of democracy. “We’re not the United Nations. We’re not Congress,” said Councilmember Curtis Gardner at the time. “And, I don’t feel it’s our role to make performative statements on world events.”
