Loveland council appoints Vince Jungles as city attorney amid public allegations

The Loveland City Council voted unanimously to approve an employment agreement appointing Vincent (Vince) Jungles as the city's permanent city attorney, adopting resolution R-99-2024.

Multiple councilors praised Jungles for his service during an interim period and for providing legal advice to the council. Councilors said they appreciated his responsiveness and work ethic.

During public comment, Linda Rosa (Ward 2) urged the council to examine Jungles's record more closely, alleging two incidents of election interference, assertions that Jungles made misleading statements about a citizen initiative and the recall process, and that he remains a defendant in an unresolved lawsuit. Rosa asked the council to consider those incidents when voting.

Jungles responded directly during the meeting: "I'm a lawyer that believes in engagement and I really appreciate Ms. Rosa's concerns...I'd love the opportunity to have coffee with her and explain each and every one of those instances." He also described his intention to provide consistent, timely legal services to the city and thanked those who supported him.

After discussion the council conducted a roll call vote; all voting councilors recorded "yes," and the motion passed unanimously. The council did not resolve the allegations during the meeting; Jungles said he welcomed follow-up conversations to address them.

The appointment formalizes Jungles's transition from interim to permanent city attorney; the council did not specify salary details or a public start date during the meeting.
