The Broomfield City Council convened a special meeting on July 18, 2025, primarily to discuss a request for an executive session concerning the Eagle Trace Golf Course. The meeting, which allowed for public participation, was attended by eight council members, with some participating remotely.
The council's agenda was straightforward, focusing solely on the executive session request. Deputy City and County Attorney Gilbert explained that the session would involve discussions about real property, negotiations, and legal advice related to the golf course, as permitted under Colorado law. The council needed a two-thirds majority vote to approve the session.
Public comments were welcomed, with residents encouraged to share their thoughts on the executive session. Bruce Early, president of the Eagle Trace Homeowners Association, expressed his support for the council's attention to the golf course issue, highlighting concerns about the sale of water rights associated with the property that had been discovered earlier in the year.
The meeting underscored the council's commitment to addressing community concerns regarding the Eagle Trace Golf Course, a topic that has significant implications for local residents. Following the public comments, the council was set to vote on the executive session, after which they would not reconvene the public meeting. This approach reflects the council's focus on transparency and community engagement in local governance.
