Trouble in Durango City Council: Budget beefs, ethics complaints and a vote to publicly reprimand one of their own

Colorado Public Radio: On Dec. 5, the Durango City Council agreed on one thing: they’d rather discuss anything other than agenda item 15.3. The task that day? Consider a future resolution “reprimanding and reproaching” Councilor Olivier Bosmans.

The resolution, to be voted on Jan. 2, 2024, is to take action against Bosmans for “acting in a manner unbecoming of a councilor, bringing disrepute to the Durango City Council and issuing a letter of apology to the city manager and his staff.” 

The incident that prompted the resolution has been described both as a bad-faith effort to undermine trust in city officials and as a genuine concern over city finances and transparency.
