Boulder Co. appoints undocumented man to human relations panel

By Yesenia Robles, The Denver Post

The Boulder City Council this week appointed a man who is not in the country legally to the council’s Human Relations Commission, making Jose Beteta the first beneficiary of a rule change that city voters approved in November.

“I think it’s exciting to actually see we changed the rules, and someone applied and took advantage,” City Councilman Tim Plass said during the council’s meeting Tuesday. “We now have someone like Jose who is going to be on our board.”

Last year, the Human Relations Commission asked the City Council to place a question on the ballot that would eliminate a requirement for members of volunteer boards and commissions to be registered voters.

The measure passed with 62 percent in favor.
