Englewood schedules council meetings with EV charging, civic center contract and municipal code cleanup on upcoming agendas
Summary
City staff outlined items for February–March council meetings including a Feb. 24 study session on finance and Englewood Arts, a March 3 packet that includes an Xcel easement and Blink Charging procurement, and a municipal code cleanup that would repeal the mayor's pardon power.
City Manager Sean Lewis told the Englewood City mayor–manager meeting on Feb. 19 that city staff have scheduled a set of study-session and council meeting items through late March, including items tied to the municipal budget, a contract amendment for Englewood Arts, electric-vehicle charging infrastructure and a municipal code cleanup.
"We have, 3 study session items for this meeting. First is January 2025 General Fund Monthly Financial Report," City Manager Sean Lewis said when listing the Feb. 24 study-session items. He also listed an Englewood Arts programming update for 2024 and a midyear review of the capital improvement plan as part two of the study session.
The schedule later in the meeting identified several March agenda items that staff said would be considered by the City Council. For the March 3 meeting, staff listed a city center presentation and a packet item described as an amendment to the existing contract with Englewood Arts for a portion of the Englewood Civic Center. Staff recommended placing several items on consent including an Xcel Energy easement approval for electric vehicle charging sites and a procurement contract with Blink Charging for installation of electric vehicle charging stations; the recommendation to place those items on consent was characterized as likely by staff.
Staff said the approval of the 2025 strategic plan would not be placed on consent. An item described as a municipal code cleanup, listed under "Title 1," includes a proposed repeal of a provision that authorizes a mayor's power to pardon. A speaker identified in the meeting as Amber said she considered the repeal a substantive change that would merit discussion and that she supported the repeal.
Staff also said a utility-billing presentation that had been canceled the previous evening was rescheduled to April because the vendor's dates did not work for the city. Lewis noted timing questions about how long the Englewood Arts presentation would run and suggested shorter time for discussion if the presentation itself was briefer.
Other items noted on future agendas included: a March 17 item list with digital voting training for the council, an executive session on city center redevelopment, budget supplemental No. 1 for 2025 and a resolution to accept transfer of property from the Englewood Urban Renewal Authority; and a March 24 meeting listing that includes an affordable housing task force discussion, preliminary February 2025 financial reports and discussion of ranked-choice voting runoff procedures.
No formal votes or final council actions were recorded in the mayor's manager meeting itself; staff used the meeting primarily to schedule and confirm agenda placement and consent recommendations for upcoming council meetings.
