The council announced that required public hearings on bills 24‑00046 (3115 West Eighth Avenue) and 25‑0153 (627 South Lipan Street) will be held on Monday, April 7, 2025. Any protests against those two council bills must be filed with the council offices no later than noon on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
The block vote passed 10‑0. The transcript does not show detailed discussion, departmental presentations, fiscal summaries or amendment language for most items in the block; when descriptions were read aloud (for example, the East Colfax BRT property designation and the proposed Denver Health tax fund agreement) the clerk summarized the ordinance purpose on the record.
Members and staff present were directed to proceed with publication and next procedural steps for ordinances; no additional policy direction or program changes were recorded during the block vote.
