What changed on Monday's Council agenda: a revenue report, an equalization hearing and two proclamations

The Denver City Council's agenda for Monday, Nov. 16, was updated Friday afternoon (meeting, agenda). Thursday we laid out the votes on it (our story). Here's what was added and what's still in play.

Added Friday

The third-quarter revenue report. General Fund collections are 1% ahead of last year through September, and the full-year forecast is up $1.9 million (26-1767, our story).

A Board of Equalization hearing. Owners filed three written protests over 2027 charges in the St. Luke's and 32nd and Lowell pedestrian mall districts, so the Council will hear them after the recess (26-1768, 26-1769, our story).

Two proclamations. One honors veterans and observes Nov. 11 as Veterans Day in Denver, which it says is home to "nearly 30,000 military veterans" (26-1764, text). The posted copy is numbered 26-1464, not 26-1764. The other recognizes Saturday, Nov. 21, as Denver Feed-A-Family Day, for The Epworth Foundation's Thanksgiving distribution, which carries on a tradition started more than six decades ago by Daddy Bruce Randolph (26-1765, text). The proclamation says the distribution aims to hand out 3,000 food baskets this year and has served more than 180,000 families over time.

Resolutions likely to be voted together

Resolutions usually pass as a block unless a member calls one out. Among Monday's:

• Trees. Three master purchase orders for trees, with SuperTrees Colorado, Little Valley Wholesale Nursery and Green Spot, each get two more years, to Dec. 31, 2028, and new "Federal Requirements and Federal Provisions." No money is added (26-1629, 26-1631, 26-1632). The resolutions don't say which federal program is involved.
• Fire software. A $671,863 contract with Tablet Command Inc. through June 30, 2031, for the Tablet Command Pro platform used by the Fire Department (26-1620).
• West Colfax Business Improvement District. One appointment and three reappointments to its board (26-1623 through 26-1626).
• The larger contracts from Thursday's story: $83.8 million for airport restrooms (26-1584), the $16.49 million Boettcher Concert Hall design (26-1621) and $11.2 million more for the Energize Denver help desk (26-1619).

Unchanged

Speed cameras, final vote (26-1435). The Long Bill, first reading, with 11 companion bills (26-1638). Those include a change making the property tax rebate fund non-lapsing, so unspent money carries into the next year (26-1645, our story), and a new fund for state peace officer training money (26-1650, our story). Also on the agenda: Denver Health's $48.8 million 2027 agreement (26-1622) and the airport's $500 million bond anticipation note (26-1633), both on first reading.

The Finance Department's letter naming its new financial advisers is also filed (26-1766). The contracts themselves come later (our story).

Still missing

The four bills we flagged Thursday are still not on the agenda, and the city's legislative records show no new action on them:

• Climate Protection Fund transfer (26-1639): status "Agenda Ready," last changed Nov. 12.
• Best-value contracting (26-1540), the Transportation and Mobility fund (26-1654) and golf fees (26-1651): status "Approval Review," last changed Nov. 6.

None of the four is on the Nov. 17 Mayor-Council agenda either (meeting), but all four have already been through Mayor-Council.

Watch

The meeting starts at 3:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber, 1437 Bannock St. After the recess come the Board of Equalization and public hearings on six general improvement district budgets (our story). The Athmar Park rezoning remains set for Dec. 7.
