Inglewood Council discusses municipal code cleanup and affordable housing recommendations

In a recent Englewood City Council meeting, key discussions centered around several significant projects and initiatives aimed at improving city infrastructure and community safety. Notably, the council deliberated on the approval of a General Municipal Project Construction (CMGC) agreement for solids handling improvement projects, which is expected to enhance waste management efficiency in the city.

Council members expressed their views on various agenda items, including the importance of a city sales tax code update. Member Joe voiced concerns about including sales tax discussions in the consent agenda, emphasizing that such matters deserve thorough consideration. The council agreed to hold off on the South Broadway design guide until further insights could be gathered from an upcoming study session.

Other critical topics included the second reading of a municipal code cleanup project, which aims to align the city’s regulations with current departmental duties. Additionally, the council discussed amendments to intergovernmental agreements with local schools and the issuance of general obligation bonds for parks and recreation projects.

Looking ahead, the council is set to address ranked choice voting and runoff election discussions, alongside a review of affordable housing task force recommendations. The meeting also highlighted ongoing concerns regarding safety in school zones, with discussions on potential enforcement measures to protect children from speeding vehicles.

As Englewood continues to navigate these pressing issues, the council remains committed to enhancing community safety and infrastructure, with several initiatives poised for implementation in the coming months.
