Aurora follows Jurinsky plan to change public comment rules, creates separate speaking session

By Kyla Pearce | The Denver Gazette

Aurora councilmembers approved a resolution Monday night that changes the rules of public comment, adding a separate speaking session before meetings that will not be livestreamed. 

The resolution, sponsored by Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky, passed with seven ‘yes’ votes and three ‘no’ votes from councilmembers Crystal Murillo, Alison Coombs and Ruben Medina.

The proposed resolution comes after months of back-and-forth between councilmembers and protesters for Kilyn Lewis, who have attended every meeting since July to request action from the council.
