Aurora City Council drops restricting public recording, limits speakers at the lectern

Aurora Sentinel: Aurora city council members on Monday backed off of a proposal to restrict how the public could photograph city council meetings, and lawmakers instead limited how many people can speak simultaneously near the council.

The resolution was the latest salvo in the ongoing battle between lawmakers and family members and supporters of Kilyn Lewis, a man fatally shot by police last year. This time, lawmakers agree to restrict the number of people who can stand at the lectern on the council floor at the same time .

The resolution passed with Councilmembers Crystal Murillo, Alison Coombs, Ruben Medina and Angela Lawson opposed. The change will limit speakers to one person at a time at the lectern in the “council well” unless they have a child or a physical disability and need assistance.
