Trinidad Urban Renewal Authority holds Feb. 12 meeting, posts full video online

Two video parts posted Feb. 13 by the TrinidadTimesTV71 YouTube channel document the Trinidad Urban Renewal Authority meeting held Feb. 12 at City Hall Chambers, 135 North Animas Street, Trinidad. The original report on the posting states the videos "contain the full public meeting proceedings for TURA," and the channel metadata in the posting shows 1,130 subscribers; Part 2 in the supplied excerpt displays 23 views.

City of Trinidad social media posted the scheduled notice for the meeting, stating, "There will be a work session followed by the Regular Meeting of the Trinidad Urban Renewal Authority on Thursday February 12, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall Chambers at City Hall, 135 North Animas Street, Trinidad, CO 81082. Please see link for agenda: cms2.revize.com cms2.revize.com" That Facebook post in the record also recorded reactions and shares as "All reactions: 2 3 shares."

The posted video recording contains on-the-record time calls that differ from the Facebook schedule. The work session begins in the recording with the line, "welcome to the work session of the Trinet Urban Renewal Authority. Today is February 12th and the time is 6:21." The regular meeting is opened on the recording with the line, "welcome to the regular meeting of the Trinidad Urban Renewal Authority. Today is February 12th, 2026 and the time is 6:33." The available excerpts show the scheduling discrepancy without providing an explanation for the later start times.

The meeting audio excerpts capture substantive board discussion. The first agenda item in the work session is introduced as, "Let's go into uh um item one, RP for logos. Give us an update there." Board members refer to "14 options" under consideration: "You guys got the 14 options that we're given," and debate a path forward: "it is your guys' decision on which route we want to go" and "Did anybody have a consensus on which ones they were in their favorites?" One speaker says, "I'm gonna defer to Pat and Jeff and I I I'll say okay to whatever you get. Exactly." A truncated reference to another participant appears as, "Um I think to Derek."

Funding and downtown development themes appear in the recording. One exchange in the excerpt ties funding to the urban core, stating, "in our core area in our urban area that we should have been getting some gift off of and um Tara knows this inside and out. So, I think we're going to be better funded going forward with some of those opportunities." The excerpts include roll-call responses recorded on the video - "All right, Begley >> here. >> Heck, >> here. >> How >> Welsh >> here. >> McNeel >> here. Thomas >> here."

For municipal context that week, a separate City Council schedule posted to KRTN/Enchanted Air Radio lists a City Council work session at 5:00 P.M. followed by a regular meeting at 6:00 P.M. on Feb. 17 at the same City Hall Chambers address and repeats meeting protocols: "PLEASE TURN OFF CELL PHONES; BE RESPECTFUL AND TAKE PERSONAL CONVERSATIONS INTO THE LOBBY AREA." That KRTN posting also includes City Council agenda items and the station contact 575-445-3652.

The posted TURA videos and the City of Trinidad Facebook notice together provide an initial public record of the Feb. 12 proceedings, the "14 options" discussion on logos, and references to funding opportunities tied to the urban core and a staff member named Tara. The YouTube files are the available public recording of the Feb. 12 meeting; the Facebook notice points to the city's online agenda link and the meeting location at 135 North Animas Street for anyone seeking the official agenda or minutes.
