Council approves several administrative ordinances; measures passed unanimously

At the close of regular business the Broomfield City Council approved a package of administrative ordinances and consent items, most by unanimous roll‑call votes.

Consent: The council approved three consent items by motion (6a–6c): approval of the Aug. 26, 2025 regular meeting minutes, a consulting agreement with Martin Martin Inc. for construction management services on the Industrial Lane bikeway phase 2 project (proposed resolution 2025‑130), and a resolution declaring council's intent to issue a multifamily housing revenue bond and authorizing a carry‑forward allocation (proposed resolution 2025‑117). The consent package passed unanimously 10–0 after a motion by Council member Ward and second by Council member Wynne.

Raven Space Systems: On second reading the council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2274 approving a business investment agreement with Raven Space Systems Inc., an economic development action presented by the city’s economic development manager. Council welcomed the company to Broomfield; the ordinance passed unanimously.

Trash‑hauler licensing: Council adopted Ordinance No. 2272 on second reading to transfer licensing responsibilities for city trash‑hauler licenses from city council to the city and county clerk’s office and to give the city manager authority to set associated administrative fees. Staff said the change streamlines administrative review; the ordinance passed unanimously on second reading.

Accessory Dwelling Units: On second reading council approved changes to Title 17 to update accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules to comply with recent state law and to clarify terms for manufactured homes and tiny homes. The ordinance removes the owner‑occupancy requirement and updates setback language; it passed 10–0.

Votes at a glance: - Consent items 6a–6c (minutes; construction management agreement – Res. 2025‑130; multifamily bond intent – Res. 2025‑117): approved 10–0. - Ordinance 2274 (Raven Space Systems business investment agreement): approved 10–0. - Ordinance 2272 (transfer trash hauler licensing to clerk): approved 10–0. - Ordinance 2265 (ADU code updates): approved 10–0.

What this means: The Raven agreement and the consent resolution on multifamily housing allocation are development‑ and finance‑related actions that move forward with the city’s economic and housing programs. The ADU code update brings city code into compliance with state law and is intended to make accessory dwelling units easier to permit. The trash hauler licensing change shifts a licensing role from the council to administrative staff and gives the manager authority to set fees for consistency and timeliness.

No additional public hearings were required for these items beyond the readings presented; the approved ordinances and resolutions will be published and take effect according to statutory timelines in the municipal code.
