3.2.1.060 Council Requests for Information and Testimony

(a) The Council or a Council Committee may request any information, documentation, and testimony from executive branch personnel that it reasonably believes will advance the formulation and development of Resolutions, laws, and budgets in the best interests of the Pueblo. Any decision by a Council Committee to request information, documentation, or testimony from executive branch personnel shall be made by majority vote of the members of the Committee. Any request for information, documentation, or testimony shall be made in writing to the Governor.

(b) The Governor, or his designee on behalf of the Governor, shall respond to each request for information, documentation, and testimony in a timely manner. If the Governor, or his designee, cannot meet a deadline set by the Council or Council Committee for the production of information or documents, or if the executive branch employee is not available to provide testimony on the date requested, then the Governor shall notify the Lt. Governor or the appropriate Council Committee, including when such information or documentation will be produced, or when the employee will be available to present testimony to the Council or Council Committee. An executive branch employee shall not be subject to any disciplinary action for responding to a request from the Council or a Council Committee for documents or testimony.
