Englewood previews Dec. 1 meeting: EV bill, police camera contract and PFAS grants slated for consent
Summary
City staff flagged multiple consent items for Dec. 1, including HB 241173 (an EV charging/opt-out state bill), a police body- and car-camera contract, PFAS grant IGAs with Littleton and CDPHE, and several lease and grant renewals; the mayor asked staff to confirm the dollar amount on the camera contract before leaving it on consent.
The Englewood mayor and staff reviewed the agenda for the regular council meeting slated for Monday, Dec. 1, highlighting several items proposed for the consent calendar.
Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd summarized the consent items, listing student art calendar finalists; HB 241173, described by staff as a state bill that would require cities to adopt electric-vehicle charging or formally opt out; a proposed contract with Exxon Enterprise Incorporated for police department body-worn and in-car cameras with associated software and hardware; a South Platte 2026 farm lease renewal; a police department victim services grant from the State of Colorado; and an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) involving Englewood, Littleton and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for PFAS grant awards.
Mayor (name not provided) asked staff to confirm the dollar amount for the police camera contract, saying that a sum "over 300,000" or "several hundred thousands of dollars" would give the mayor pause about placing the item on consent. Deputy City Manager Tim Dodd agreed to check the contract value and report back. "I will find that out and see if we can have," Dodd said; the mayor responded that the dollar amount was the only factor that might change whether the item stays on consent.
Council members and staff also discussed several items that were explicitly removed or questioned for consent: a city manager contract amendment and an amendment to the city attorney's contract were discussed as non-consent items; a Transport for the BERT 2026 operations contract with a stated not-to-exceed amount of $990,575 was flagged by the mayor as inappropriate for consent. Staff noted routine annual renewals such as the legal and water-resource engineering professional services agreements, which the mayor and deputy city attorney said are recurring annual items that could remain on consent.
Other items mentioned for the Dec. 1 agenda included adoption of an Arapahoe County hazard mitigation plan (a five-year emergency management document the mayor asked to review before consenting) and IGAs related to Dry Gulch and South Englewood Basin amendments. Staff also flagged a planned council reception at 6:15 p.m. for incoming and outgoing members on Dec. 1 and noted that the Flock camera item was moved off the Dec. 1 agenda to Dec. 15.
The council did not take formal action during this mayor–manager check-in; staff will return with confirmed contract amounts and a revised calendar for council consideration at future meetings.
