The City of Englewood Budget Advisory Committee meeting, associated with the November 5, 2026 recording, included a presentation on the Englewood Downtown Development Authority’s (DDA) 2027 budget and capital program. The DDA plans approximately $18 million in investments across three public improvement projects and downtown programs. Its board referred the operating plan and budget to City Council, which approved them on October 19. The presentation cited an estimated $9 million cost for the South Broadway Main Street Remix, to be financed in part with a commercial bank loan; approximately $13 million in DDA debt service is planned for 2027, including about $4 million toward Old Hampden Complete Streets. The DDA also plans $2 million for Little Dry Creek Park and Plaza enhancements, $6.8 million for Old Hampden improvements, and $80,000 for microtransit enhancements. Little Dry Creek was nearing final design, with procurement and construction expected to follow; no bids or contracts were awarded at this meeting.

Committee members discussed how tax-increment financing (TIF) could support future City Center redevelopment, the timing and financial implications of activating another TIF area, and the need for further district-specific revenue analysis. The DDA described its authority to use TIF for public-benefit projects, including through loans, developer reimbursement agreements, or pledging TIF revenue toward debt issued by the city or a metropolitan district. The committee expressed interest in a more detailed financial discussion, but no formal spending or procurement action was taken. Members also discussed future work on the committee’s budget analysis tool and potential city financial exposure related to a proposed South Platte Renew Authority asset transfer. The committee approved the October 1 meeting minutes by motion and voice vote.
