Englewood staff preview council agendas through March, flag code, funding and IGA items

City Manager Sean Lewis on Wednesday reviewed a slate of items planned for Englewood City Council meetings through March, including code amendments, intergovernmental agreements and a budget transfer request.

Lewis said the Feb. 20 consent agenda will include a discussion of accessory dwelling unit provisions and Title 16 code language, recognition of the city traffic team and an annual fuel-and-fluids contract. He also listed an MOA with the University of Denver for an AmeriCorps fellowship, an IGA with the City of Littleton on bridge-joint replacement, and a cooperative agreement with Arapahoe County Adult Protective Services for investigative reports. "Starting with February 20… we've got the 2024 building and FAR code option, discussion on accessory dwelling units and Title 16 language," Lewis said.

Among the fiscal items Lewis flagged was a staff request to transfer loan funds from the sewer enterprise fund to the storm drainage fund; the item was presented as a consent-agenda request for council consideration, not as an approved transfer. The manager also listed a proposed amendment to municipal code to increase the municipal-court theft jurisdictional limit and other technical updates to align local penalties with state law.

Looking ahead, Lewis said a Feb. 17 study session will include proposed strategic-plan outcomes, a draft resolution opposing law-enforcement actions that violate constitutional rights, and a 2026 IGA between the Regional Transportation District and Englewood for a shuttle. He also previewed a Feb. 23 session that will cover preliminary capital planning and a chronic-nuisance abatement ordinance.

The meeting produced no formal council votes; staff agreed to bring the listed items forward to council on the dates Lewis outlined. The city manager said several follow-ups requested by council members are being routed to appropriate departments for response.
