Dacono City Council Mtg. April 27, 2026

The City of Dacono held its regular City Council meeting on April 27, 2026. The meeting included proclamations for Mental Health Awareness Month, Building Safety Month, and Professional Municipal Clerks Week. The council approved several ordinances on first reading related to mayor and council compensation, factory-built housing regulations, prohibitions on nonfunctional turf and invasive plant species, and restrictions on portable toilets. A public hearing on a 2026 budget amendment was opened and continued to the May 11 meeting to allow more preparation time. The council discussed the possibility of funding a 24-hour ballot drop box locally to improve voter access, with a potential cost of $9,000 to $12,000, and expressed interest in pursuing this with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder. Staff reported receiving a $175,000 DOLA grant for designing improvements to the Grandview Bridge, with additional grant applications underway. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussion of grant funding and potential local funding for election infrastructure could impact future procurement activities.
