The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) Work Session on June 10, 2025, featured a significant discussion led by Commissioner Tony Montoya regarding the need for updates to the commission's constitutional bylaws. Montoya, who has served on the commission since February 2019, expressed ongoing concerns about the lack of responses to proposed changes submitted multiple times. He emphasized the importance of having updated bylaws to maintain the integrity of the commission and avoid negative perceptions from the public.

Montoya highlighted that the commission has been operating under quasi-Robert's Rules of Order and has managed to conduct meetings effectively, but the outdated bylaws could reflect poorly on the commission as a whole. He urged fellow commissioners to prioritize the review and approval of these bylaws to ensure clarity in governance and procedures.

In addition to the bylaws discussion, Montoya addressed the recurring funding requests from local organizations, noting that many of the same groups seek financial support each year. He acknowledged the necessity of these requests and encouraged the commission to explore additional funding sources to better support community needs.

Montoya also recognized the long-standing commitment of fellow commissioners Marion and Sandra, underscoring the dedication required to serve on the commission. He concluded by thanking all past and present members for their service, highlighting the significant time commitment involved in fulfilling their roles.

The discussions from this work session underscore the commission's focus on governance improvements and community support, setting the stage for potential future actions to address these critical issues.
