Denver City Council Considers Key Contracts and Public Hearings Amid Packed Agenda
The Denver City Council is set to deliberate on a comprehensive agenda that includes significant contracts and public hearings. Among the key items is a $3.4 million contract with Jewish Family Service of Colorado aimed at providing rapid rehousing support for homeless individuals or families with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Additionally, the council will review a proposed amendment to extend a contract with Kaplan Kirsch LLP for legal services related to aviation and airport matters. This comes in the wake of a lawsuit involving Denver Mayor Mike Johnston's appointees over alleged FAA violations. The council will also consider a resolution to hold a public hearing on changes to the Welton Corridor redevelopment plan, which could impact development and displacement in Denver's Five Points neighborhood. Furthermore, a three-year license agreement with Veo for operating Denver's shared bike and scooter program is up for consideration.
