City Council Regular - 18 May 2026

The City Council Regular Meeting of Englewood, Colorado, held on May 18, 2026, focused primarily on community services for seniors, public safety coordination, infrastructure projects, and utility rate adjustments. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Littleton for the City Ditch Piping Project (Reach 2A), involving temporary construction easements and stormwater coordination. The council also approved a ground lease agreement for vacant property near Malen Reservoir to generate long-term revenue. A significant agenda item was the proposed update to the water rate structure, moving from a declining block to an inclining block rate to encourage conservation amid drought conditions; the council approved this with an effective date delayed to July 2026 to allow residents time to adjust. Additionally, the council discussed and approved an updated intergovernmental agreement with Arapahoe County for public safety radio usage. A contract amendment related to an energy efficiency HVAC project was tabled for further review due to clarifications needed on measurement and verification costs and contract terms. The meeting also included public comments on local infrastructure, safety, and community concerns, with council members addressing enforcement and project progress. Overall, the meeting involved multiple contract approvals, budget considerations, and policy discussions impacting future procurement and city services.
