Denver aides outline community‑designed overhaul of Registered Neighborhood Organization rules
Summary
City aides presented a yearlong community engagement report recommending renaming and repositioning Registered Neighborhood Organizations, creating a Division of Community Empowerment, centralizing outreach and information, offering training and stipends, and establishing mediation and incentive‑based accountability.
City council aides presented a community‑informed plan to modernize Denver’s Registered Neighborhood Organization (RNO) ordinance, saying the review drew on a year of outreach and a report published earlier this week.
The presentation, led by council aides and staff, summarized survey work, focus groups, and interviews with city departments. “Policy co‑design enables community knowledge to actively inform policy development,” said Masha Lior, senior council aide for Councilman Cashman. Staff reported translated outreach materials in Denver’s top five languages, more than 40 in‑person events and roughly 140 participants at four neighborhood workshops.
