The Denver Gazette: The Regional Transportation District debuted a digital tool last week that officials said is the first of its kind they’ve seen for open meetings use — at least in the Denver area.

Utilized by the agency’s Board of Directors, the online discussion tool will allow board members to discuss work plans and plan for upcoming meetings under the public purview, which is required by Colorado open meetings laws involving an elected quorum of at least three people.

The tool is hardwired into the agency’s Microsoft Teams channels, Director Chris Nicholson said. Whenever a message is sent into the channel, that message will be posted on the online board.
