Council hears notice of proposed $410M Vibrant Denver GO bonds; postpones outside counsel contract to Jan. 26
Summary
Council received notice that the Department of Finance intends to issue up to $410,075,000 in general obligation bonds to fund Vibrant Denver projects and postponed a proposed outside counsel agreement with Squire Patton Boggs to the Jan. 26 meeting after questions remained.
During Tuesday’s meeting the clerk read a letter from Nicole C. Doheny, manager of finance, notifying the council of the department’s intent to issue City and County of Denver general obligation bonds, series 2026 A–B, in a par amount not to exceed $410,075,000 to fund Vibrant Denver bond projects approved by voters in November 2025.
Separately, Councilmember Lewis called out questions on Resolution 25-21-66, a proposed fourth amendment to an agreement with Squire Patton Boggs US LLP to continue outside counsel for environmental matters. Lewis said some answers remained outstanding and, invoking Rule 3.6, asked to postpone the item. The chair announced that Resolution 25-21-66 has been postponed to the council meeting on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
Next steps: bond issuance is a finance department action that requires subsequent council steps; the outside counsel agreement will be returned to the council on Jan. 26 for further consideration.
