Title:
2026 Triennial Review for Human Relations Commission, Judicial Review Board, Parks and Recreation
Advisory Board, Museum Advisory Board
Background:
Annually, a group of boards and commissions are scheduled for review by the City Council to determine
if their primary purpose has been fulfilled and if they should be reauthorized to continue serving in this
selected capacity. This option to review boards and commissions was made by a charter amendment
from the registered electors of the City of Greeley in 2001. An ordinance (2002) was adopted to
establish a schedule to make sure these boards are reviewed every three (3) years.
In 2023, the City Clerk’s department created a questionnaire and a preliminary process for each board
being considered, to report back on their impact on the community, meeting of their goals, and if they
participated/sponsored any engagement events.
The following boards are part of the 2024 Triennial Review:
• Human Relations Commission;
• Judicial Review Board;
• Parks and Recreation Advisory Board; and
• Museum Advisory Board
Staff requests Council provide consensus for reauthorization, dissolution, or amendments for each of the
(4) boards and commissions, Staff will then prepare a draft ordinance for consideration at the December
1, 2026 City Council meeting.
The City Clerk's Office has compiled basic data on the boards' activities including attendance, rosters,
and frequency of meetings. Staff liaisons and board chairs were asked to be in attendance for questions.
Strategic Focus Area:
Business Growth
Community Vitality
High-Performance Government
Housing For All
Infrastructure and Mobility
Quality of Life
Safe and Secure Communities

BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
TRIENNIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
In 2001, Greeley voters approved an amendment to the Home Rule Charter, in Section 2-8 Appointive
Boards and Commissions, to require that City Council review advisory groups every three (3) years to
determine whether it continues to serve the purpose for which it was created. Ordinance No. 59, 2002,
was adopted by City Council to implement the triennial review schedule for the appointive boards and
commissions. In 2026 the Human Relations Commission, the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board &
the Judicial Review Board are currently scheduled for review.
To assist the council in this process, please provide the following information by completing this form
electronically, adding additional pages as necessary, and submitting the required attachments to the
Clerk’s Office before June 30, 2026. This questionnaire should be completed, reviewed, and approved by
your Board or Commission before the June 30th deadline. Required attachments are a 3-year work plan
(samples have been provided), updated bylaws (if different from those provided), and 3-year attendance
records (2023-2026).
Please find the attached documents: Current Board Bylaws and reference to the Greeley Municipal Code

Greeley City Council has identified Seven Strategic Focus Areas :
a. Business Growth:

Page 6 of 113

Page 7 of 113

Create economic development, assess, and evaluate the structure and organization of the
economic health and housing department, transform Greeley’s image, reputation and
perceptions of who we are as a livable and business-oriented community.
Community Vitality:
Develop a sub-are planning strategy providing master plan guidance, update Metro
District Standards, promote high quality development, review development code to
include new overlay districts, update city entryway plan and enhance the City’s code
compliance program to foster neighborhood success in meeting property use and
maintenance standards.
High Performance Government:
Committed to effective systems, strategies, structures, strategic planning, and customer
service. Values of transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of our
resources.
Housing for All:
The goal is for residents of all socioeconomic levels have the ability to secure quality
housing choices. Through partnerships with nonprofits and local national developers we
create a model for sustaining diverse housing options.
Infrastructure and Mobility:
Strategically plan, design, and build our urban infrastructure systems and facilities so
they are attractive, safe, and high performing.
Quality of Life Amenities:
Develop standards for landscape maintenance, promote signature community destinations
and expand programming, services and facilities that support and enrich youth
development throughout the community.
Safe and Secure Communities:
Greeley is a community that is committed and confident we are well-prepared to respond
with resources need to address emergencies and continue essential operations and
services.

1. Please list your Board/Commission priorities below: (1) for the primary, (2) for secondary and
provide an explanation on how they align with the Strategic Priorities found above.
1. Primary Priority: Strengthen Community Connection & Information Sharing. The HRC will serve
as a connector between residents, community organizations, City departments, and City Council by
creating a consistent structure for information sharing, partner presentations, and commissioner
updates. This directly supports High Performance Government by improving transparency,
accountability, communication, and informed local decision-making.
2. Second Priority: Launch a New Resident Welcome Kit. The HRC will develop a digital resource
that helps new residents connect with City services, community organizations, volunteer
opportunities, events, and other pathways for belonging. This aligns with Quality of Life Amenities
by strengthening residents’ connection to community resources and civic life, helping Greeley
remain welcoming, informed, and connected as the city continues to grow.

•

1. Reviewing the current purpose of this board from the attached Greeley Municipal Code, define
how the actions of this board are actively accomplishing this purpose.
The Human Relations Commission actively accomplishes its purpose by fostering mutual respect
and understanding, serving as a bridge between community members and City leadership, and
supporting informed decision-making on human relations issues. The Commission’s current strategic
priorities strengthen this role by creating regular information sharing with City departments and
community organizations, improving awareness of community issues, and helping residents connect
to services, opportunities, and civic life.
Recent and ongoing actions include facilitating conversations with City departments and nonprofit
partners, supporting community events and engagement opportunities, promoting community
surveys and public participation, rebuilding attendance expectations and meeting structure, and
adopting a focused 2026-2028 strategic work plan. The New Resident Welcome Kit will further
advance the Commission’s purpose by helping residents understand how to access City services,
community resources, volunteer opportunities, and local events.

•

a. What more needs to be done to deliver this service to the community?

The HRC should continue rebuilding member engagement and attendance, maintain a structured
calendar of partner and City department presentations, expand outreach to underrepresented and
Spanish-speaking residents, clarify pathways for receiving community concerns and requests for
guidance, and provide at least one formal update or recommendation to City Council each year.

Page 8 of 113

Page 9 of 113

2. List annual workplan(s) over 2023-2026 and state what parts of the workplans were
accomplished. Provide an updated 3-year (2026-2028) workplan based on the samples provided.
2023-2024
a. Supported the promotion of the Women2Women Fundraising event in March 2023.
b. Supported the promotion of the Multicultural Festival taking place in Oct. 2023.
c. Actively sought updates from relevant community partners and support their work.

Below is an updated 2026-2028 work plan:
Human Relations Commission
2026 - 2028 Strategic Priorities & Work Plan
Mission
The City of Greeley’s Human Relations Commission connects residents, organizations, and
the City by amplifying community voices and supporting informed local decisionmaking.
Priority 1: Strengthen Community Connection & Information Sharing
Why:
The 2024 Community Survey shows strong overall satisfaction with Greeley as a place
to live, but also highlights opportunities to improve how the City reaches and engages
all residents. Limited participation from Spanish-speaking households and reliance on a
narrow set of communication channels suggest that not all residents are equally
connected to City information and opportunities.
What:
The Human Relations Commission will help address this gap by serving as a connector,
strengthening communication between the City and community organizations, and
expanding access to information, resources, and opportunities for engagement.
Page 9 of 113

Page 10 of 113

How (2026 Focus):
• Add monthly member updates and City staff info sharing as standing agenda items
• Invite City departments and community organizations to present at HRC meetings
• Share key updates and opportunities with commissioners’ community networks
When:
• Q1: Establish meeting structure
• Q2–Q4: Partner presentations and resource sharing
Measures of Success:
• Consistent partner participation and presentations
• Increased awareness of community programs and City initiatives
• Regular dissemination of key updates through commissioners’ networks
Future Direction (2027–2028):
• Expand outreach to additional community groups and underrepresented populations
• Develop and maintain a structured presentation calendar to regularly engage City
departments and community organizations
• Enhance communication tools and distribution channels
Priority 2: Launch A New Resident Welcome Kit
Why:
Greeley is experiencing continued growth, with expectations of significant population
increases over the next 10–20 years. While residents report high satisfaction with the
community, growth can challenge a sense of connection and belonging if not
intentionally addressed. Providing clear, accessible information and pathways for
engagement will help new residents integrate more quickly and maintain Greeley’s
strong sense of community.
What:
The Human Relations Commission will develop a “New Resident Welcome Kit” resource to
help new residents connect to the community by providing information on City services,
community organizations, volunteer opportunities, and events.
How (2026 Focus):
• Identify example welcome/belonging kits in other cities
• Create a table of contents and assign areas to commissioners
• Compile and review content in collaboration with City staff and community partners
• Produce a final digital resource
• Identify distribution channels (City website, libraries, schools, realtors, partner
organizations)
When:
• Q1: Identify example kits and categories
• Q2–Q3: Draft and compile content
• Q4: Finalize and launch
Measures of Success:
Page 10 of 113

Page 11 of 113

• Resource completed and publicly available
• Distributed through at least 3–5 community channels
• Positive feedback from City staff and partner organizations
Future Direction (2027–2028):
• Update and expand content annually
• Explore print and translated versions
• Integrate with broader “Greeley Belonging” efforts and community outreach

Priority 3: Rebuild Commission Effectiveness and Visibility
Why:
The Human Relations Commission has not been consistently active in fulfilling its advisory
and community engagement role. Establishing clear structure, expectations, and
communication will ensure the commission can operate effectively and provide
meaningful input to the City.
What:
The Human Relations Commission will re-establish consistent operations, improve internal
coordination, and increase visibility of its work to better support the City and
community.
How (2026 Focus):
• Establish a consistent monthly meeting structure and agenda
• Define roles and expectations for commissioners
• Maintain regular communication with City staff and liaison
• Provide at least one update or recommendation to City Council
When:
• Q1: Establish structure and expectations
• Q2–Q4: Ongoing implementation and communication
Measures of Success:
• Consistent meeting attendance and participation
• Clear progress reported at each meeting
• At least one formal update or recommendation provided to City Council
• Increased awareness of HRC activities among City staff and partners
Future Direction (2027–2028):
• Strengthen advisory role with more regular input to City leadership
• Increase visibility through community engagement and partnerships
• Evaluate and refine commission priorities based on outcomes and community needs

•

3. Please share specific projects, achievements, and initiatives this board has completed over the
last three years (2023-2026).
Page 11 of 113

Page 12 of 113

Specific projects, achievements, and initiatives completed or advanced during 2023-2026 include:
• Supported Women2Women fundraising promotion and Multicultural Festival promotion in
2023.
• Facilitated conversations and information sharing with City departments and
nonprofit/community partners.
• Supported the 2024 League of Women Voters participation and related civic engagement
efforts.
• Supported awareness of the Greeley Visitor Survey to encourage community feedback.
• Participated in community engagement opportunities, including United Way Project Connect,
Friday Fest, and the State of the City address.
• 2026 - Addressed attendance and participation expectations to improve commission reliability
and productivity.
• Adopted a renewed mission and 2026-2028 strategic priorities focused on information sharing,
a New Resident Welcome Kit, and rebuilding Commission effectiveness and visibility.

4. What community events, volunteer opportunities and engagement forums do this board attend,
support or facilitate? Please describe community engagement efforts over the last three years
(2023-2026).
The HRC’s community engagement efforts over the last three years have focused on listening,
information sharing, civic participation, and connection to community resources. Activities include:
• Facilitated conversations with City departments and nonprofit/community partners – 2023.
• Supported Women2Women fundraising promotion – 2023.
• Co-coordinated League of Women Voters participation and civic engagement support – 2024.
• Attended United Way Project Connect and volunteered as navigators – 2025.
• Attended Friday Fest community events – 2025.
• Attended the State of the City address – 2026.
5. Are board meetings conducted in an effective manner?
Yes. Meetings are conducted effectively when a quorum is present. During this review period, the
Commission identified attendance as a barrier to full effectiveness and addressed attendance
expectations so meetings can remain productive, accountable, and aligned with the Commission’s
purpose.
6. Are meetings held according to your meeting schedule (e.g., 1st Friday of each month at 4 p.m.)?
Yes, meetings are conducted according to plan.

Page 12 of 113

Page 13 of 113

7. Are discussions focused on the agenda topics, are topics in line with your object or goals?
Yes. Discussions are focused on agenda topics and are increasingly aligned with the Commission’s
renewed mission and strategic priorities. The 2026 meeting structure will support this by including
standing agenda items for member updates, City staff information sharing, partner presentations, and
progress on the New Resident Welcome Kit and Commission effectiveness goals.

Page 13 of 113

Page 14 of 113

8. What format are your meetings held? (In-person, virtual or hybrid)
Meetings are currently held virtually. In June 2026, Commissioners voted to hold one in-person
meeting in 2026 and then encouraged attendees to attend the Council Meeting immediately
afterward.
2027 and forward - Two in-person meetings will be scheduled.
The dates for the in-person meetings are under consideration.

9. Do members of the public attend meetings? If so, how many (average), how often and do they
provide input?
Members of the public have not attended the Human Relations Commission, except in April 2026.
Only one member of the public attended. However, no comments were made.

10. What could be done to improve board meetings?
The primary opportunity for improvement is consistent attendance. The Commission now has a
process in place to address attendance issues as they arise. Additional improvements include
maintaining a predictable agenda structure, tracking progress on strategic priorities at each meeting,
and identifying clear next steps and responsible parties before each meeting adjourns.

11. List additional information this board feels would be helpful to council to reauthorize this board.
Reauthorization of the Human Relations Commission will support Greeley’s continued growth with
intentional community connection, information sharing, and resident belonging. The Commission
provides a low-cost, community-based advisory body that can help City Council and City staff
understand human relations issues, strengthen communication with residents and partner
organizations, and support informed decisions that affect quality of life in Greeley.
The HRC’s renewed 2026-2028 strategic priorities provide a clear and realistic path forward:
strengthen community connection and information sharing, launch a New Resident Welcome Kit,
and rebuild Commission effectiveness and visibility. These priorities are practical, measurable, and
aligned with City Council’s focus on High Performance Government and Quality of Life Amenities.
Reauthorization will allow the Commission to move from rebuilding into consistent, visible service
to the community.

Greeley City Council has identified Seven Strategic Focus Areas :
a. Business Growth:

Page 32 of 113

Page 33 of 113

1. Please list your Board/Commission priorities below: (1) for the primary, (2) for secondary and
provide an explanation on how they align with the Strategic Priorities found above.
1. High Performance Government: The Judicial Review Board aligns with the High Performance
Government priority because the board ensures accountability, transparency while evaluating Judge
Gonzales. Through our evaluation process the board is able to give the City Council a data-driven
analysis done by unbiased community members.
2. Safe and Secure Communities: The board supports a Safe and Secure community by promoting a
fair and effective municipal court system to every resident of Greeley. Through courtroom
observations and feedback from individuals and board members, the board aims to strengthen the
trust in the administration of the law.

7. Reviewing the current purpose of this board from the attached Greeley Municipal Code, define
how the actions of this board are actively accomplishing this purpose.
Page 33 of 113

Page 34 of 113

The Judicial Review Board fulfills its statutory purpose by observing court proceedings,
applying an established evaluation system, and collecting survey data from individuals directly
involved in the courtroom. These efforts allow the Board to assess judicial performance and
provide informed, evidence-based recommendations to City Council regarding retention

a. What more needs to be done to deliver this service to the community?
On the board’s side itself, to further strengthen its effectiveness, we need to continue
improving the consistency of courtroom observations, increase participation in courtroom
based surveys, and maintain earlier reporting deadlines. We also need to adopt bylaws that
address attendance expectations that will also enhance accountability and ensure the Board
operates efficiently.
8. List annual workplan(s) over 2023-2026 and state what parts of the workplans were
accomplished. Provide an updated 3-year (2026-2028) workplan based on the samples provided.
N/A

9. Please share specific projects, achievements, and initiatives this board has completed over
the last three years (2023-2026).
N/A

10. What community events, volunteer opportunities and engagement forums do this board
attend, support or facilitate? Please describe community engagement efforts over the last three
years (2023-2026).
The board itself does not attend or hold events itself, since the purpose of the board is to
evaluate Judge Gonzales and ensure he is upholding the law. While we do not attend public
events, I and other members of the board have attended the annual board recognition as well as a
State of the City in the past.

11. Are board meetings conducted in an effective manner?
Board meetings are conducted in an effective manner for the most part, we need to create bylaws
that reduce inactive members, to make the board run more efficiently. For the past year, we have been
working with only three members attending our meetings out of five, which makes quorum issues our
biggest problem. If we can remove the inactive members by making bylaws that would enforce that, we
hope the Council would appoint new members.
Page 34 of 113

Page 35 of 113

12. Are meetings held according to your meeting schedule (e.g., 1st Friday of each month at 4 p.m.)?
Meetings are held as needed, but usually we do not start meeting until the end of August and
meet every month until December when we finalize our report to send to the City Council. Towards the
end of the year we may meet more frequently, like every two weeks to make sure all business is taken
care of and that all members agree with the report being written.
13. Are discussions focused on the agenda topics, are topics in line with your object or goals?
Discussions are all centered around the agenda of each meeting and since the main objective of
this committee is to observe Judge Gonzales and how he applies the law, the topic never strays away
from the report and what is on the agenda.
14. What format are your meetings held? (In-person, virtual or hybrid)
The meetings are held virtually, but in the past we have held the option for hybrid meetings.

15. Do members of the public attend meetings? If so, how many (average), how often and do they
provide input?
Members of the public are not permitted to attend the meeting as they are being held.

16. What could be done to improve board meetings?
As far as our meetings go, there is nothing that could be done to improve meetings, besides
adopting the new bylaws that have been proposed to ensure meetings are not being canceled due to
quorum related issues.

17. List additional information this board feels would be helpful to council to reauthorize this board.

18. Other comments:

Please provide the following attachments:
▪ 2026-2028 current work plan (see samples provided)
▪ Attendance records (2023-2026)
▪ Bylaws if different from what was provided

Judicial Review Board
2022 Summary of Judicial Performance Review Process

The Judicial Review Board's (JRB) responsibility is to gather performance
information annually and report the information to City Council in preparation for
Council's evaluation meeting with the Presiding Judge. The following tools are
utilized to gather the information:
(1)

Courtroom observations. The JRB members will make on-site visits
to the courtroom to observe the Judge and the Court's operation
and provide a summary of ratings and comments.

(2)

Surveys. The JRB surveys individuals who have appeared before or
have professional contacts with the Municipal Judge. The groups
most frequently surveyed include: Attorneys, both defense and
prosecution; litigants; court personnel such as court clerks and
assistants, and law enforcement personnel including court bailiffs. In
2022, surveys will be distributed to defendants who appeared before
the Judge, to all prosecuting and defense attorneys who appeared
before the Judge, and Municipal Court staff including the bailiff.

(3)

Self-evaluation. The JRB will request that the Municipal Judge
complete a self-evaluation form that may include, but is not limited
to, a self assessment of the Judge's strengths and weaknesses, goals
for development and reputation in the legal community with regard
to legal ability, integrity, communication skills, judicial temperament,
administrative skills, settlement activities, judicial philosophy,
community reputation, overall performance, and community service.

(4)

Statistics. The JRB will review statistical information provided by the
Municipal Judge regarding caseload and performance indicators
and furnish comments regarding results and trends.

Ordinance No. 59, 2002, was adopted by City Council to implement the triennial review schedule
for the appointive boards and commissions. In 2026 the Human Relations Commission, the Parks
& Recreation Advisory Board & the Judicial Review Board are currently scheduled for review.
To assist the council in this process, please provide the following information by completing this
form electronically, adding additional pages as necessary, and submitting the required attachments

BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
TRIENNIAL REVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE
In 2001, Greeley voters approved an amendment to the Home Rule Charter, in Section 2-8
Appointive Boards and Commissions, to require that City Council review advisory groups every
three (3) years to determine whether it continues to serve the purpose for which it was created.
Ordinance No. 59, 2002, was adopted by City Council to implement the triennial review schedule
for the appointive boards and commissions. In 2026 the Human Relations Commission, the
Museum Board, the Parks & Recreation Advisory Board & the Judicial Review Board are
currently scheduled for review.
To assist the council in this process, please provide the following information by completing this
form electronically, adding additional pages as necessary, and submitting the required attachments
to the Clerk’s Office before June 30, 2026. This questionnaire should be completed, reviewed,
and approved by your Board or Commission before the June 30th deadline. Required attachments
are a 3-year work plan (samples have been provided), updated bylaws (if different from those
provided), and 3-year attendance records (2023-2026).
Please find the attached documents: Current Board Bylaws and reference to the Greeley
Municipal Code (if applicable).

Greeley City Council has identified Seven Strategic Focus Areas :
a. Business Growth:
Create economic development, assess, and evaluate the structure and
organization of the economic health and housing department, transform
Greeley’s image, reputation and perceptions of who we are as a livable and
business-oriented community.
b. Community Vitality:
Develop a sub-are planning strategy providing master plan guidance, update
Metro District Standards, promote high quality development, review
development code to include new overlay districts, update city entryway
plan and enhance the City’s code compliance program to foster
neighborhood success in meeting property use and maintenance standards.
c. High Performance Government:
Committed to effective systems, strategies, structures, strategic planning, and
customer service. Values of transparency, accountability, and responsible
stewardship of our resources.
d. Housing for All:
The goal is for residents of all socioeconomic levels have the ability to secure
quality housing choices. Through partnerships with nonprofits and local
national developers we create a model for sustaining diverse housing options.
e. Infrastructure and Mobility:
Strategically plan, design, and build our urban infrastructure systems and
facilities so they are attractive, safe, and high performing.
f. Quality of Life Amenities:
Develop standards for landscape maintenance, promote signature community
destinations and expand programming, services and facilities that support and
enrich youth development throughout the community.
g. Safe and Secure Communities:
Greeley is a community that is committed and confident we are well-prepared to
respond with resources need to address emergencies and continue essential
operations and services.
1. Please list your Board/Commission priorities below: (1) for the primary, (2) for secondary and
provide an explanation on how they align with the Strategic Priorities found above.
1. Community Vitality:
To provide and protect historic and cultural events and locations where the citizens and
students of Greeley and Weld County can learn about and celebrate their history and
culture. This energizes and bonds communities.
2. Quality of Life Amenities:
The Museums preserve and protect the cultural and historic artifacts, structures, and
stories of the diverse communities of Greeley and Weld County. A community that is
ignorant of or has no access to its culture and history is missing a key amenity of a life of
quality.

Page 65 of 113

2. Reviewing the current purpose of this board from the attached Greeley Municipal Code,
define how the actions of this board are actively accomplishing this purpose.
The Board is actively meeting and engaging Museum staff in order to provide advice. The
Board is also actively communicating with the City Council on matters relevant to the Museum.
The Board is attempting to collaborate with the CPRD as described in the rules for the Board,
though our efforts meet with little success.
a. What more needs to be done to deliver this service to the community?
More cooperation from the CPRD is necessary.
3. List annual workplan(s) over 2023-2026 and state what parts of the workplans were
accomplished. Provide an updated 3-year (2026-2028) workplan based on the samples
provided.
At this time, City staff cannot provide the previous workplan, so we cannot list accomplishments.
Updated workplan is submitted separately.
4. Please share specific projects, achievements, and initiatives this board has completed over
the last three years (2023-2026).
To assist with the renovation of Centennial Village grounds and buildings, we changed the
accession status of the structures so they could be repaired and strengthened.
We met with the Weld County Commissioners to discuss future use of the historic Weld County
Courthouse and described our interest and efforts to fund and create an Agricultural Heritage
Center for Greeley and Weld County.
We sought to understand the scope of the current budget crisis and its ramifications for the
Greeley History Museums. We offered to collaborate in the budget and planning process, as is
our mandate, but the CPRD refused to collaborate.
We struggled against a CPRD initiative to consolidate our board with other boards, arguing that
the Museums needed to be represented by a board that was focused on the goals and
responsibilities of the Greeley Museums and actively participated in the life of the Museums.
We promoted activities and projects for Deerfield and the Mexican American History Project.
We supported the renewal and growth of the Friends of the Greeley Museums, and most Board
members are also members of the Friends.
Many Board members volunteer at the Museum and at various events.
5. What community events, volunteer opportunities and engagement forums do this board
attend, support or facilitate? Please describe community engagement efforts over the last three
years (2023-2026).
We volunteer at the Greeley History Museum and Centennial Village during events that include
History Fest, Baby Animal Days, Cinco de Mayo, Halloween, Homesteader’s Holiday, and

Page 65 of 113

Page 66 of 113

Twilight at the Museum. We also volunteer at other community events in support of historic and
cultural preservation (Open House at Deerfield, for example).
6. Are board meetings conducted in an effective manner?
Yes
7. Are meetings held according to your meeting schedule (e.g., 1st Friday of each month)?
Yes, our meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at 4 pm in the Greeley History
Museum.
8. Are discussions focused on the agenda topics, are topics in line with your object or goals?
Yes
9. What format are your meetings held? (In-person, virtual or hybrid)
Our meetings are held in-person.
10. Do members of the public attend meetings? If so, how many (average), how often and do they
provide input?
Yes, members of the public attend and usually provide input. Last year we had an occasional guest,
but since the budget crisis began, we have had multiple guests at each meeting.
11. What could be done to improve board meetings?
The board meetings would be more effective if the CPRD followed the rules and regulations set forth
in our By-Laws. Details in item 13 below.
12. List additional information this board feels would be helpful to council to reauthorize this board.
Last year CPRD began an initiative to consolidate the Museum Advisory and UCCC Boards and the
Arts Commission. The budget crisis and CPRD’s attempt to sacrifice the museums for the sake of
the other programs in the department well illustrates why the Museums need a board to focus on not
only the museum and its priorities and responsibilities, but a board that will represent the citizens of
Greeley and Weld County with regard to the importance and necessity of Greeley Museums for
historical and cultural preservation.
13. Other comments:
When 2026 began, the Museums were functioning very well, even though they were
underfunded for a museum of their size. The various historic programs were active and growing,
and the renewed agreement for History to You with Weld District 6 was successful. In 2025 the
Museums provided unique educational experiences to over 15,000 school children.
Now that the shape of the 2027 CPRD budget seems to be taking shape, those programs are in
peril. Delivery of our Guaranteed Core programs appears to be either conditional or undeliverable.
Because we are not included in the budget or operational planning or asked for advice as the
planning proceeds, we cannot be sure if any of the museum’s priorities and responsibilities will be

Page 66 of 113

Page 67 of 113

met. Moreover, we have been advised by History Colorado that the planned cutbacks and
reorganization may not allow the Museums to remain in compliance with the American Alliance of
Museums professional standards, which is required by the Museum’s 2024 Ordinance.
One of the board’s responsibilities is to “collaborate with staff in development and review of longrange goals.” That collaboration has not occurred; rather, we are presented with the goals after they
are developed. Another responsibility is to “collaborate with staff, aiding in establishing priorities in
the budget process.” We have been excluded from giving any advice during the budget and
operational planning processes. We are told that once the budget and operational plans are
completed, we can offer advice. That is not advising during the process; it is advising after the
process.
The CPRD has consistently prevented the Museum Advisory Board from fulfilling its
responsibilities and has thus violated the rules and regulations set forth by the City of Greeley for the
Museum Advisory Board. For this reason, among others, the Board voted at the August 20,2026
meeting to convey to the Mayor and City Council a vote of No Confidence in the CPRD and the
Director of the CPRD.

History of Triennial Review
• In November 2001, Greeley voters approved an amendment to the
Home Rule Charter requiring City Council to review advisory groups
every three years to determine whether the board or commission
continues to serve the purpose for which it was created.

• In 2002, an ordinance was adopted to implement the triennial review
schedule for consideration of reauthorization of specific boards or
commissions.

Background:
Staff will provide an overview of the City's third quarter of 2026 financial condition and an update on

General Fund of $4.8 million. The City currently has sufficient reserves to meet the required reserve
