Estes Valley Voice: A Larimer County judge heard arguments Friday morning in Estes Valley Voice’s case challenging Estes Valley Fire Protection District’s refusal to provide a recording that would illuminate its governing board’s handling of chief Paul Capo’s hiring.
The lawsuit, brought under the state’s open meetings law, seeks a recording of an Oct. 9 executive session of that board of directors, during which Estes Valley Voice and its publisher and editor, Patti Brown, allege that Capo was chosen for the job.
“If what appears to have occurred in that fourth executive session meeting actually did occur, then there can be no question that the entirety of that recording must be released,” Steve Zansberg, a Denver-based lawyer representing the Voice and Brown, argued.
