The City Council approved the consent agenda at the Sept. 9 meeting, and members addressed several miscellaneous items during the closing portion of the agenda.
Consent vote: City Clerk Miss Lovelace read the consent agenda, which included Resolution 2025‑R‑37 (consenting to the imposition of a special assessment by the Festival Commons Metropolitan District) and approval of minutes from the Aug. 19 study session and regular meeting. Mayor Pro Tem moved approval of the consent agenda and Councilmember Karn seconded. The clerk recorded the vote as eight ayes and the motion carried.
Alternate judge: Councilmembers Alston and another member reported they had completed interviews for an alternate municipal judge and reached agreement on a contract. Councilmember Alston said the contract and appointment will appear on next week’s consent agenda for formal approval. No vote was taken on the appointment at this meeting.
ZIP code legislation outreach: Council discussed a federal bill to address ZIP‑code boundaries and whether Centennial could help push the measure forward. The mayor reported he had contacted offices including Senator Michael Bennet’s and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s staff; he read a response from Boebert’s office saying, “At this point in time, we are advising that cities connect directly with their senators to advocate for introduction in the senate.” Councilmembers asked staff to prepare a quick digital outreach (email/Nextdoor) asking residents to contact Colorado’s senators to support the bill. Council did not make a formal, recorded directive; staff indicated they would pursue timely outreach so as not to lose momentum.
Why it matters: The consent items put several routine matters on the record (a metropolitan district special assessment and minutes approval). The alternate judge contract, once on next week's consent agenda, will be a formal administrative appointment. The ZIP‑code item is a nonbinding request to the public to contact federal senators and reflects the council’s interest in resolving postal‑address inconsistencies affecting some residents.
