Code enforcement committee allocates $250 for outreach materials, votes to continue neighborhood nights into 2026

The Englewood City Code Enforcement Committee voted to allocate $250 toward outreach materials — including a canopy, a tablecloth, Angle Fix magnets and poster-board information — and approved a plan to continue neighborhood nights in 2026.

The recommendation, moved by Matthew Mitchell and seconded by another committee member, instructs Officer Couture to investigate quotes and possible cost-sharing with the police department and the city communications office. “This committee makes a recommendation to Officer Couture to investigate a quote for a collaboration between the police department and the city communications department to identify funding for a tabletop banner or a table cloth… and a canopy that can be deployed to help educate the citizens of Englewood about the role of the enforcement committee,” Mitchell said while making the motion.

Committee members said the items are intended to improve visibility and public engagement at neighborhood events and to promote Angle Fix, the city’s reporting tool. Several members noted that communications staff offered design help and that other city departments — police, water and planning — might share costs. After discussion, the committee voted in favor; the motion passed.

Committee members also moved and unanimously approved a separate motion to continue code enforcement representation at neighborhood nights in 2026, including a staffed table and swag for distribution. Supporters said continuing the outreach helps residents learn how to report issues and raises awareness about code rules.

The committee emphasized lead time on printed materials and recommended starting procurement over the fall/winter so items are ready for neighborhood events next year. Officer Couture was asked to return with a status update at the committee’s next meeting.
