Monday kicks off budget week in the Mile High City, and that means the agenda for Denver City Council will be light.

There will be four proclamations issued during the 3:30 p.m. session; three will be live and one on consent.

The first proclamation will recognize the city’s annual Fall Tribal Conference, now in its third year. The second is a proclamation in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day in the City and County of Denver. The third will honor Joyce Neufeld for her service to Community Ministry.

However, there are several items of interest on the agenda, including several mayoral appointments to the Denver Downtown Development Authority.

Those making Mayor Mike Johnston’s list for a four-year term ending June 3, 2029, include Frank Cannon, Jay Lambiotte, Mary Nguyen and Patty Salazar.

There are two resolutions authorizing and approving payment for two liability claims.

The first, in the amount of $12,500, settles a claim involving the Denver Fire Department, and the second, in the sum of $20,000, remedies a claim involving the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure. 

Elsewhere on the agenda, Council Resolution 25-1081, if passed, would approve a revenue grant agreement between the State of Colorado, Department of Local Affairs, Division of Housing for $1,518,000 in Proposition 123 Affordable Home Ownership Program funds with an end date of Sept. 30, 2027. The funds would support the new construction of 23 affordable one- and two-bedroom for-sale housing units (condominiums) serving buyers at or below 80% AMI for the project known as “10th & Wolff.”

According to council documents, the funds will directly reduce the amount of HOST gap financing that will be needed to support this project. HOST, also known as the city’s Department of Housing Stability, is currently underwriting gap financing for the project. HOST has a 2025 strategic goal to utilize Prop. 123 funds to support 50 units of affordable for-sale units. These funds will help HOST meet close to half of that goal.

There are no required public hearings in the 5:30 p.m. session.

The Denver City Council will hold its regular meeting at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, with the general public comment session scheduled to begin at 5 p.m.
