The mayor opened the April 15 mayor-manager meeting and asked staff to review the items scheduled for the next several meetings. Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd said the next meeting includes a strategic-plan study session (15 minutes presentation, 20 minutes discussion) before the regular meeting and noted multiple items proposed for consent.
The city identified a public hearing and first reading on state housing laws tied to proposed Title 16 amendments, which staff flagged for attention and the mayor marked for non-consent status when fuller discussion is expected. Tim Dodd also listed recognition items and upcoming council agenda elements, including final approval of the city’s strategic plan and a March 2026 fund monthly financial report.
Staff listed several intergovernmental agreements: an IGA with Englewood and Adams County to operate two air monitors under a clean-air program, and an updated IGA for public safety radio usage (CB33) that is already on consent. A Mile High Flood District reimbursement (CB32) was listed for consent, while CB26—an ordinance amending the city’s petitioning process—was noted as not on consent.
Other ordinances on the calendar include a proposed amendment addressing water use restrictions and an item to expand trash pickups via small trucks; the mayor asked that both be set aside for fuller council discussion rather than placed on consent. Staff also noted an item addressing City Clerk authority to refer FCPA complaints to the Secretary of State under state law.
The city scheduled a study session on design and construction standards for April 27 and discussed a study session on first refusal and the Affordable Housing Action Plan for the 11th, where staff also penciled in a conversation about surveillance policy. Staff committed to checking potentially duplicated RTD grant entries and to provide additional details on several System 2s IGA upgrade requests.
The mayor closed the meeting by asking staff to follow up on any additional council requests by email.
