Please note that the comments expressed through any City of Arvada social media account do not reflect the opinions and position of the City of Arvada or its officers and employees.

We welcome citizen comments and expect that any conversation will follow the general rules of respectful civil discourse. We recognize that the Web is a 24/7 medium, however, given the need to manage city resources, moderating and posting of comments will occur during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Comments submitted after hours or on weekends will be read and posted as early as possible. In most cases, this means the next business day. Commenters are fully responsible for everything that they submit in their comments, and all posted comments are in the public domain. We do not discriminate against any views, but we reserve the right not to post comments.

By default commenting ability will be "turned on" where possible, and citizens will be allowed to leave comments on all social media content. All comments will have to be approved by a comment moderator. At the request of a content "business owner," commenting ability may be removed due to the sensitivity of the subject material. However, this will be the exception and not the norm.

Limitations of Comment Approval
City of Arvada comment moderators shall approve all comments that are topically related to the particular content being commented and thus within the purpose of the limited public forum, with the exception of the prohibited content including but not limited to the following:

B. Profane language or content;
C. Discourteous communications including personal attacks on an individual's character or appearance;
