WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. — The Wheat Ridge City Council on Oct. 13 approved four formal items, including first reading of an ordinance to adopt the 2024 International Building Code, awarded a contract to build a bus driver relief station at Clear Creek Crossing, approved an amended radio-services agreement with West Metro, and voted to cancel the Nov. 3 study session ahead of Election Day.

The actions consolidate previously discussed projects and administrative updates. Council members voted unanimously on the four items, and staff said the bus terminal work is funded by the 2025 Urban Renewal Authority bond fund.

Council Bill 20-2025, introduced by Councilor Janice Hoppe, would adopt by reference the 2024 editions of the International Building and related codes with local conforming amendments. The ordinance was introduced on first reading and the council set a public hearing for Oct. 27, 2025; the motion passed on a roll call of 8–0.

On the Clear Creek Crossing bus terminal, council awarded a construction contract to TCC Corporation. The council approved a base contract of $625,044.18 with a contingency of $62,504 for a total authorized amount of $687,548.18. Staff said the project is funded by the URA bond fund and will restore RTD route connections into neighborhoods west of Wadsworth; construction was described as expected to begin in mid-November and finish mid-February. The motion passed 8–0.

The council also approved Resolution 50-2025, amending the city’s agreement with West Metro for radio specialist services to transition the role to a full-time radio systems administrator after the retirement of the current part-time specialist. The amendment passed 8–0.

Finally, council voted to cancel the Nov. 3, 2025 study session because the municipal election is Nov. 4; the motion carried with no nays.
