Englewood City staff and council members on Dec. 10 reviewed the Dec. 15 council agenda and flagged several items for attention, including an introduction of a new affordable housing program manager, multiple contract and intergovernmental agreement amendments, and a scheduled recognition for "CellPart Renew." Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd said the agenda will include a study session, the annual holiday council dinner, recognitions, the consent calendar and several non-consent items.
The city will introduce Seth Brown as a new affordable housing program manager and recognize "CellPart Renew" for receiving a 2025 WEF safety award, both scheduled near the start of the Dec. 15 meeting. Dodd outlined consent items that include a resolution to appoint independent administrative hearing officers and several intergovernmental agreement amendments. He also listed a second amendment to the city attorney's contract and a proposed amendment to the city manager's employment agreement.
Officials agreed to keep the planned 2026 bulk chemical purchase for the Allen Water Treatment Plant off the consent agenda after the mayor noted, "There's quite an increase in cost due to inflation," and urged council awareness of the price change. Dodd also noted a motion will be on the agenda to approve a 2026 Burt shuttle services contract with MV Transit, which will be considered separately rather than on consent.
The staff preview covered additional January items including a conservation-overlay study session on Jan. 5, selection of council liaisons and boards and commissions interviews, a temporary construction easement for the Old Hampden Complete Streets project, and a Jan. 20 agenda that may include an executive-session legal update and a 2026 budget supplemental resolution. Council and staff confirmed the holiday dinner will run 5–6:30 p.m., with the regular meeting to begin at 7 p.m.
Several agenda item names in the staff preview were transcribed in the meeting record without full detail (for example, a grant or bill referred to as "Victims Scribe Act" and similarly garbled references to South Platte Renew items). Where item names or bill text were unclear in the transcript, the city packet or posted agenda for Dec. 15 should be consulted for definitive bill numbers and descriptions. The Dec. 15 meeting will also include follow-ups on drainage improvements, IGAs related to Chip Seal and interjurisdictional basin agreements, and routine finance reports.
No formal votes were taken at the mayor–manager meeting; the session served to set the public meeting agenda and logistics for upcoming council meetings.
