Fort Lupton Press: In a bid to reduce costs — but possibly at the cost of government transparency — the city of Fort Lupton is asking the community to move public notices to its website instead of paying to print them in local newspapers.

Question 2C was added to the Nov. 5 ballot by the Fort Lupton city council in July, by a unanimous decision. The public notices, which include notices to creditors, name changes or metro district announcements, will be published on the City’s website if the community votes yes.

Here is the text of Ballot Question 2C:

“To save publication costs to the City, shall the City of Fort Lupton, Colorado, provide all required information on its website regarding proceedings relating to payment of bills and statements concerning all contracts awarded and rebates allowed, rather than publishing the information in the newspaper?”
