Secret Council Discussion Scheduled Before $30 Land Deal Hearing

 

Before you even get to utter a word at the public hearing on the $30 Land Deal project, the Arvada city council is scheduled to meet behind closed doors to have a secret discussion about the development.

What could the city attorney have to tell your elected representatives that you shouldn't know about?

This kind of action does not lend to confidence in the credibility, the transparency, or the fairness of local government.

It is important to point out, that if Mayor Williams does not recuse himself from this quasi judicial proceeding, then the meeting will be presided over by an individual whom Arvada for All the People maintains has a fixed bias in favor of the project.

PDF: NR-AAP Williams Recusal Demand

 

This following articulate explanation shows why Mayor Williams has demonstrated bias in his public advocacy for the $30 Land Deal and by his having already officially approved this project as a member of the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority Board of Commissioners. He must step aside and not participate in the quasi judicial hearing and vote on January 22.

[Council] members must fairly apply the standards in the ordinance to the facts presented, whether or not they agree with those standards. A [council] member whose opinion about the case is fixed and not susceptible to change has an impermissible bias and must not vote on the matter. Further, a member with a bias must not even participate in hearing or the deliberation of the case. This rule applies to any board making a quasi-judicial decision, be it a city council, board of county commissioners, planning board, or board of adjustment. [*]

---

The $30 Land Deal PDP is a quasi judicial proceeding. Mayor Williams as a member of the Arvada Urban Renewal board has already voted in favor if this project, he has an officially recorded bias -- he should recuse himself from the January 22 hearing and vote.
