Health and Safety Committee cancels meeting, approves four contract amendments by consent

Denver's Health and Safety Committee canceled its scheduled Dec. 24, 2025 meeting, but moved forward with a consent agenda that approved four contract amendments to continue public-health services across the city.

The consent approvals included an amendment adding $254,300 to a contract with Colorado Health Network, bringing the contract to $644,800 and extending the term 12 months to Aug. 31, 2026 to continue overdose-education activities and distribution of naloxone and drug-testing strips citywide. Council Resolution 25-2089 records the change.

Council Resolution 25-2112 amended a contract with Colorado Coalition for the Homeless by adding $922,718 for a new total of $2,098,983 and extending the contract 12 months to Dec. 31, 2026 to maintain health services at the All in Mile High shelters and micro-communities citywide.

Council Resolution 25-2113 approved a $2,700,000 increase to a contract with La Raza Services, Inc., doing business as Servicios de La Raza, for a new total of $10,035,000 and a 12-month extension to Dec. 31, 2026. The amendment funds culturally appropriate case management and follow-up services for the Support Team Assisted Response (STAR) program citywide.

Council Resolution 25-2114 amended a contract with It Takes A Village, Inc. by adding $65,664 for a new total of $940,694 to provide care, treatment and supportive services for people living with HIV/AIDS within the Denver Transitional Grant Area; that amendment did not change the contract term.

The transcript records these items as approved by consent; no individual motions, roll-call vote tallies, or substantive discussion are recorded in the available minutes. The committee did not hold a regular meeting discussion on the items during the recorded segments. No next procedural steps or implementation timelines beyond the amended contract end dates were specified in the transcript.
