Summary

The committee set an outreach schedule tied to technical committee milestones, proposed a condo managers workshop and a one‑pager on condo options, and asked staff to filter nonprofit and school properties for future review as part of EPB rulemaking.

Committee members set a detailed outreach and rulemaking timeline and agreed next steps to translate the work plan into agenda items, stakeholder meetings and targeted workshops.

A committee member outlined a schedule for outreach and engagement: prepare an outreach plan and fact sheets with the technical committee by late August or early September; meet with city boards and council members in September to brief them; run broader stakeholder meetings with building owners and condo managers in October and November; and wrap outreach so elements can feed into ordinance rulemaking drafts in time for a March-targeted rule language step and potential council consideration in Q2.

On condos, a committee member proposed a targeted workshop with professional condo managers and drafting a one-page briefing that would present options for defining condo affordability—income tests, assessed-value thresholds, building financial health or geography—and invite feedback on trade-offs. "Let's figure something out. I do think we should have a workshop with some professional condo managers," the committee member said, noting condo ownership complicates eligibility and protections for homeownership affordability.

Members also discussed nonprofit buildings and schools. Using Denver's nonprofit-serving criteria as a model, staff and committee members plan to filter the city’s covered-buildings list (about 50 buildings identified in an internal review) to identify candidate nonprofit properties. Committee members flagged K–12 public schools (D65 district ownership) as a special case they do not want to overburden and planned a focused conversation on whether and how to include district and private schools.

The committee agreed to convert the detailed work plan into an agenda-planning tool, assign staff and chairs to track deadlines and to return with a refined timeline and materials at the next meeting.
