On Monday, the Denver City Council will consider multiple resolutions tied to the city’s homeless shelter operations.

Of particular interest is Council Resolution 25-1383, which amends an agreement with U.S. Motels Denver North, Inc. by adding nine months and $2.5 million to provide non-congregate shelter units, as well as congregate shelter space when the city’s shelter beds are full.

According to city documents, this funding will be used during times of severe weather activation or other emergencies, as deemed by the city and the Department of Housing Stability. The amendment, if approved, will extend the contract through Dec. 31, 2026, and bring the total agreement value to $6.19 million.

Then there’s Council Resolution 25-1381, which proposes adding 12 months and $950,000 to an existing agreement with Busco, Inc. to provide daily bus transportation to individuals experiencing homelessness using 54-passenger motor coaches. 

The buses depart and arrive from designated locations every morning and evening, and will also support the city’s cold weather sheltering operations. 

In District 11, Denver International Airport is seeking approval of a $10 million cleaning contract with Wright Choice, Inc. Should the resolution be approved, the airport would receive professional tunnel cleaning services for five years. 

The proposed maintenance contract includes the removal of trash, dust, debris, soot, graffiti, and other surface contaminants.

There will be one proclamation issued honoring LatinasGive! and Latinos Impacting our Future Together (L.I.F.T.) in observance of Hispanic Heritage Month. 

In the 5:30 session, the City Council will host two public hearings.

The first, a required public hearing, will consider changing the zoning classification for 800 15th St. in Denver’s Central Business District. 

The second is a 30-minute courtesy public hearing regarding a proposed ordinance naming an unnamed park at Kittredge Street and E. Bollinger Drive as Amache Prowers Memorial Park.

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

Most Denver city and county offices will be closed on Monday, Oct. 13, in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Emergency services, the airport, and Denver’s police and fire departments will operate as usual.
