Englewood city officials used the mayor–manager meeting on Feb. 11 to review items for the Feb. 17 council meeting and to flag a packed Feb. 23 study session that could require schedule adjustments.
City Manager Sean Lewis listed the Feb. 17 agenda items, including a study session to receive council direction on proposed strategic-plan outcomes and goals and a resolution "expressing support for local law enforcement, urging implementation of best practices and reflection on the community values by law enforcement agencies that act within this jurisdiction," which is set for the regular agenda rather than consent. Lewis also previewed a recognition for the procurement team and a proposed BC Interiors contract for furniture and space improvements at the water treatment plant.
The Feb. 23 study session drew particular attention. "The February 23 study session meeting is a little bit heavier in terms of items that we have," said Mary (first identified in the meeting), who asked whether any items could be moved. Lewis outlined the planned Feb. 23 items: preliminary nondiscretionary 2027 capital requests and a joint meeting with Planning & Zoning and the Budget Advisory Committee; discussion of first-right-of-refusal state law; consideration of nonconforming commercial uses in residential zones; a chronic-nuisance abatement ordinance; and the January 2026 General Fund monthly financial report.
Councilors and staff agreed not to move certain high-priority items. "That first item doesn't look like we can move it," one official said of the capital request that kicks off the budget season. Staff were asked to confirm typical durations for the capital request review—councilors indicated it can run about an hour and a half—and to check whether items such as the first-right-of-refusal discussion and nonconforming-commercial-use review are time-sensitive.
Lewis also previewed March agenda items, including a March 2 council policies review, a March 9 discussion about police use of cameras, and a March 16 vote on the city's strategic plan and an MOU with the Downtown Development Authority related to Little Dry Creek construction and design.
Council also requested follow-up data. Lewis was asked for counts of vehicle–pedestrian accidents and fatalities on South Broadway between Jefferson and Bellevue and for an update on trespass-enforcement practices. "How many vehicle pedestrian accidents and fatalities have there been on South Broadway, Jefferson to Bellevue?" Lewis was asked; he confirmed he would follow up on the request.
No formal votes or motions were taken during the mayor–manager meeting. Staff reported no additional items, and the meeting adjourned after scheduling and timing follow-ups were assigned.
The next steps identified were: staff to confirm estimated time needed for the Feb. 23 capital-request review and to report back on whether specific items can be moved; and city staff to provide the requested traffic-safety and trespass-enforcement data before the next council meeting.
