The overview and summaries below highlight key agenda items and how to engage with them. The full agenda is available here.

Jump to the summaries of selected items in each section:

💡
These items are routine or have already been discussed thoroughly at a prior meeting. Council typically considers them together without further discussion. If a councilmember feels something needs special attention, they can pull it for a separate vote.

Library District Board of Trustees appointment

Model Metro District Service Plan

1st Adjustment to Base (First Reading)

Arapahoe Eminent Domain Authority (First Reading)

Public Hearings

💡
These items include a formal public comment period before a vote. Public Hearings are usually the final stage of engagement, and most items have earlier opportunities for meaningful input through boards and commissions, working groups, or staff‑led outreach.

If you want to share your views on a Public Hearing item:
Sign up to speak at the Public Hearing or email the Council before the meeting. At the Public Hearing, Councilmembers can propose and vote on changes if they feel a perspective has been left out or if new information comes up.

745 University Landmark Designation

Land Use Code and Structures Changes

Matters

💡
These items are updates from staff or Councilmembers with time for Council questions and discussion. They do not include public comment or formal action, but they often inform future decisions and priorities.
