Denver is moving one step closer to its final 2026 spending plan on Monday, with Mayor Mike Johnston delivering his final proposed budget to the City Council.

After it is delivered, the budget will be open for inspection from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, in the City Council Office, Room 451 of the City and County Building, 1437 Bannock St.

During its regular meeting on Oct. 27, a public hearing on the 2026 budget will be held beginning at 5:30 p.m. Residents may inspect the budget and register objections prior to or at the public hearing.

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

From the city’s Community Planning and Housing Committee is a pair of resolutions seeking to add a total of $4.1 million for homeless shelter services. The first would add $601,000 and 12 months to an existing agreement between the city and the Volunteers of America Colorado Branch to operate and provide services at Sinton’s Sanctuary, a low-barrier emergency shelter in Council District 3.

The second resolution amends a service agreement with Bayaud Works, LLC, adding nine months and $3.5 million to an existing contract to operate and provide homeless shelter services citywide.

Next are three resolutions totaling just over $40,000, extending contracts with three providers for rapid rehousing services for homeless individuals.

Then, a final resolution from the committee proposes adding just over $1 million to an existing agreement with The Denver Rescue Mission to continue funding for a specialized team of case managers to assist homeless persons with high acuity needs to exit to permanent housing.

There are two proclamations set for the 3:30 p.m. session:

The first honors former Denver District Attorney Bert Keating and the second will recognize the importance of health coverage and promote enrollment through Connect for Health Colorado.

In the 5:30 p.m. session, there are two proclamations and one required public hearing.

The proclamations will recognize Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Disability Employment Month.

The required public hearing will be on Council Bill 25-1272, changing the zoning classification for 1252 W. Byers Place in the Valverde neighborhood, near Federal Boulevard and 6th Avenue.

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.
