Summary
Separately from the stadium debate, the council adopted Council Resolution 25 15 83 and passed Council Bill 2,009 (amendment to disposable bag fee fund uses); votes and brief comments were recorded.
Denver City Council also completed several other items on its Dec. 22 agenda. Council Resolution 25 15 83, a fourth amendatory agreement noted on the record, was adopted after a roll call; Council member Amanda Lewis announced she would vote no on that resolution due to continuing concerns about the organization involved. Later, Council Bill 2,009 — an ordinance amending Denver Revised Municipal Code section 2–4–428 to change the permitted uses of the disposable bag fee fund — passed on final consideration with an 11‑aye roll call. Council member Lewis reiterated a no vote on the bill, citing process and concerns about permanently altering a special revenue fund.
Representative quote: “I do not appreciate the process by which we did this, and I don't feel comfortable permanently changing the uses of this special revenue fund,” Council member Lewis said regarding the disposable bag fee ordinance.
Both measures were recorded on the meeting minutes and were placed upon final consideration and adoption as announced by the Madam Secretary.
