Englewood staff set agendas for April–May council meetings; several items placed on consent
Summary
City staff and Mayor Pro Tem Joe Anderson finalized agenda items for upcoming council meetings including a utility billing system implementation, municipal code updates, and an $18,923 enterprise zone grant; staff scheduled affordable housing goal-setting and board interviews.
City of Englewood staff and Mayor Pro Tem Joe Anderson on April 16 finalized agenda items for upcoming council meetings that include a utility billing system implementation, municipal code updates and consideration of an $18,923 enterprise zone administration grant.
The discussion, led by City Manager Sean Lewis and staff, covered the April 21 and April 28 council meetings and previewed items scheduled for May 5, May 12 and May 19. "Put that on consent," Mayor Pro Tem Joe Anderson said when staff proposed removing a single internal code reference and consolidating several items for the consent agenda.
Why it matters: the items touch municipal utility service, downtown planning and small-dollar grant acceptance that affect city operations and local permitting processes. Several code amendments would update references and align Englewood code with water quality standards and lead service line replacement requirements discussed by the Water and Sewer Board.
Staff listed April 21 agenda items as including: implementation of a new utility billing system, the Elevate Englewood Leadership Academy graduation, an amendment to the existing contract with Englewood Arts to allow use of a portion of the Civic Center, and a municipal code update removing an outdated internal reference. Two council bills (CB 22 and CB 23) were noted for first reading: CB 22 to accept the 2025 enterprise zone administration grant ($18,923), and CB 23 to amend the Englewood Municipal Code regarding extraterritorial water service and lead service line replacement. Staff said additional Water and Sewer Board items would be placed on consent unless pulled by council members.
April 28 is slated to include a special event strategy, discussion of municipal energy project financing, an update to the comprehensive plan, a judge's salary item, and the March 2025 monthly financial report. May 5 agenda items identified included a city sales tax code update (clarifying definitions and exemptions), the South Broadway redevelopment plan, recognition of the Englewood Green Team, and 2024 budget supplemental No. 4 for year-end adjustments.
Staff also scheduled an affordable housing goal-setting session for July 14 with a 5:30 p.m. start time; that study-session date will begin with a digital voting item followed by the housing discussion. Board and commission interviews were set for May 12, with interviews planned to begin at 5 p.m. The Water and Sewer Fund items were scheduled for the May 19 meeting; among those listed were renewal of an agreement related to the city ditch, utility crossings, a programmable logic control replacement services contract renewal, and a dredge purchase for the utilities department.
No formal council votes were recorded in the mayor-manager meeting. Staff and Mayor Pro Tem Anderson reached consensus to place the cited items on the consent agenda and to proceed with the scheduling described above. Several items were noted as originating from the Water and Sewer Board but staff did not record how those matters fared at that board meeting; council members were given the option to pull any consent item for separate consideration.
The meeting included City Manager Sean Lewis; Mayor Pro Tem Joe Anderson; Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd; Executive Assistant Chris Degravy; City Attorney Tamara Niles; Andrina Prado (staff member); and Stephanie Carlisle, City Clerk's Office. The mayor was not present.
